TRANSITIONAL SMALL BUSINESS DISCLOSURE FORMAT: Yes No X (2) PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS INTRODUCTION PHC, Inc. with its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a national health care company specializing in the treatment of substance abuse, which includes alcohol and drug dependency and related disorders, and in the provision of psychiatric services. The Company currently operates two substance abuse treatment facilities: Highland Ridge Hospital, located in Salt Lake City, Utah; and Mount Regis Center, located in Salem, Virginia, near Roanoke and eight psychiatric facilities: Harbor Oaks Hospital, a 64-bed psychiatric hospital located in New Baltimore, Michigan; Harmony Healthcare, a provider of outpatient behavioral health services at two locations in the Las Vegas, Nevada area; Total Concept EAP, a provider of outpatient behavioral health services in Shawnee Mission, Kansas; and North Point-Pioneer, Inc. ("NPP") which operates four outpatient behavioral health centers under the name Pioneer Counseling Center in the greater Detroit metropolitan area. The Company also operates BSC-NY, Inc. ("BSC"), which provides management and administrative services to psychotherapy and psychological practices in the greater New York City metropolitan area. Through its subsidiary, Behavioral Health Online, Inc., ("BHO"), the company operates its web site, Behavioralhealthonline.com. The Company's substance abuse facilities provide specialized treatment services to patients who typically have poor recovery prognoses and who are prone to relapse. These services are offered in small specialty care and subacute facilities (i.e., facilities designed to provide care to individuals who no longer require hospital care but who require some medical care), which permits the Company to provide its clients with efficient and customized treatment without the significant costs associated with the management and operation of general acute care hospitals. The Company tailors these programs and services to "safety-sensitive" industries and concentrates its marketing efforts on the transportation, oil and gas exploration, heavy equipment, manufacturing, law enforcement, gaming, and health services industries. Harbor Oaks provides psychiatric care to children, adolescents and adults. The Company draws patients from the local population and uses the facility as a mental health resource to complement its substance abuse facilities. Harmony Healthcare and Total Concept provide psychiatric treatment for adults, adolescents and children. BSC is a manager of psychological service providers with contracts at over 35 long-term care facilities. NPP provides outpatient psychiatric treatment for adults, adolescents and children in the Metropolitan Detroit area. Behavioral Health Online, Inc. designs, develops and maintains the Company's web site, Behavioralhealthonline.com. The web site, was designed to provide products, information, and instruction to behavioral health professionals and consumers for a fee. In May 1998 the Company closed Good Hope Center, a substance abuse treatment facility located in West Greenwich, Rhode Island and entered into an agreement terminating the lease for the facility. All obligations under this closure agreement were met by June 30, 1999. In June, 1998 the Company's sub acute long-term care facility, Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, in (3) Braintree, Massachusetts was closed in a State Receivership action which was precipitated when the Company caused the owner of the Franvale facility, Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc., to institute a proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The receivership was terminated September 16, 1998 and on October 5, 1998 Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. A Trustee has been appointed; however, the bankruptcy proceedings have not been finalized. For additional information see "Business-Closed and Discontinued Operations-Franvale." In January 1999 the Company closed its 80% owned outpatient operations in Virginia, Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. The Company sold this business and retained accounts receivable and most fixed assets, to the minority owners in exchange for their shares of stock in Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc., approximately $25,000, release from the first mortgage on the property of approximately $506,000 and release from Notes Payable to the minority owners of $20,000. The Company intends to limit its business operations to behavioral health through facilities providing services to particular markets through customized, outcome-oriented programs, which the Company believes produce overall cost savings to the patient or client organization and its web site which will provide behavioral health professionals with the educational tools required to keep them abreast of behavioral health breakthroughs and keep individuals informed of current issues in behavioral health of interest to them. The Company's substance abuse facilities provide treatment services designed to prevent relapse. Such services, while potentially more costly on a per patient stay basis, often result in long-term health care cost savings to insurers, patients and patients' families. The goal of the Company's psychiatric treatment programs is to provide care at the lowest level of intensity appropriate for the patient in an integrated delivery system that includes inpatient and outpatient treatment opportunities. The integrated nature of the Company's psychiatric programs, which generally involves the same caregivers supervising different treatment modalities, provides for efficient care delivery and the avoidance of repeat procedures and diagnostic and therapeutic errors. The Company was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1976 under the name American International Health Services, Inc. In 1980, the Company merged into an inactive publicly held Massachusetts Corporation and was the surviving corporation in the merger. The Company changed its name to "PHC, Inc." as of November 24, 1992. The Company is based in Massachusetts and is unaffiliated with an inactive Minnesota corporation of the same name. The Company does business under the trade name "Pioneer Healthcare" and "Pioneer Behavioral Health." With the exception of the services provided directly by the Company under the name Pioneer Development Support Services, the Company operates as a holding company, providing administrative, legal and programmatic support to its subsidiaries. The Company's executive offices are located at 200 Lake Street, Suite 102, Peabody, Massachusetts, 01960 and its telephone number is (978) 536-2777. PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES INDUSTRY Substance Abuse Facilities Industry Background The demand for substance abuse treatment services increased rapidly in the (4) 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 prognoses 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 on site and off site outpatient programs. The Company believes that because of the apparent unmet need for certain clinical and medical services, its strategy has been successful despite national trends towards outpatient treatment, 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, minority groups and dual diagnosis patients (those suffering from both substance abuse and psychiatric disorders). 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. (5) 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%. 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, subchapter D of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (commonly known as The Drug Free Workplace Act), 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 prior to termination of employment. Although the Company does not 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 34-bed, freestanding alcohol and drug treatment hospital, which the Company has been operating since 1984. It is the oldest facility dedicated to substance abuse in Utah. Highland Ridge is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO") and is licensed by the Utah Department of Health. Highland Ridge is recognized nationally for its excellence in treating substance abuse disorders. Most patients 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 (6) 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 recent 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. SPECIALIZED TREATMENT SERVICE In the spring of 1994, the Company began to operate a crisis hotline service under contract with a major transportation client. The hotline, Pioneer Development Support Services, or PDS2 ("PDS2"), 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. Four major transportation companies subscribed to these services as of June 30, 1999. This operation is physically located in Highland Ridge Hospital, but a staff dedicated to PDS2 provides the services. PDS2 is currently operated by the parent entity, PHC, Inc. 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 JCAHO, 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, a freestanding outpatient clinic. The Changes clinic provides structured intensive 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 (7) the Commonwealth of Virginia and approved for reimbursement by major insurance carriers Mount Regis Center's programs are sensitive to 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 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 through Harbor Oaks Hospital. The Company also currently operates seven 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 and a case manager with continuing oversight of the patient as the patient receives care in different locations or programs handle case management. 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 5 years of age to senior citizens. The psychiatric facilities treat a larger percentage of female patients than the substance abuse facilities. (8) 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 Commerce and it is accredited by JCAHO. Harbor Oaks provides inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment to children, adolescents and adults. Harbor Oaks Hospital has serviced clients from Macomb, Oakland and St. Clair Counties and has now expanded its coverage area to include Wayne, Sanilac and Livingston Counties. Until March 1998, Harbor Oaks Hospital worked in conjunction with New Life Treatment Centers, Inc. ("New Life") to offer counseling programs with a traditional Christian philosophy on an inpatient and partial hospitalization basis. The Company and New Life terminated the contract by mutual agreement on May 22, 1998. The Company utilizes the Harbor Oaks facility as a mental health resource to complement its nationally focused substance abuse treatment programs. Harbor Oaks Hospital has a specialty program that treats substance abuse patients who have a coexisting psychiatric disorder. This program provides an integrated holistic approach to the treatment of individuals who have both substance abuse and psychiatric problems. Both adults and adolescents can benefit from this program. On February 10, 1997, Harbor Oaks Hospital opened an 8-bed adjudicated residential unit 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 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 each subsequent six-month period thereafter, to determine if additional treatment is required. State authorization allowed the Company to increase the number of beds in the adjudicated residential unit to twelve on May 1, 1998 and twenty on June 26, 1998. In addition to direct patient care, Harbor Oaks works with major manufacturers of psychiatric pharmaceuticals to assist in the study of the effects of certain FDA approved products in the treatment of specific mental illness. Harmony Healthcare Harmony Healthcare, which consists of two 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 casino companies including Boyd Gaming Corporation, the MGM Grand, the Mirage and Treasure Island resorts with a rapid response program to provide immediate assistance 24 hours a day. Harmony also provides outpatient psychiatric care and inpatient psychiatric case management through a capitated rate behavioral health carve-out with Pacific Care Insurance. (9) Total Concept EAP Total Concept, an outpatient clinic located in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, provides psychiatric and substance abuse treatment to children, adolescents and adults and manages employee assistance programs for local businesses, gaming, railroads and managed health care companies. North Point-Pioneer, Inc. NPP consists of four psychiatric clinics in Michigan. The clinics provide outpatient psychiatric and substance abuse treatment to children, adolescents and adults operating under the name Pioneer Counseling Center. The four clinics are located in close proximity to the Harbor Oaks facility, which provides more efficient integration of inpatient and outpatient services, a larger coverage area and the ability to share personnel which results in cost savings. BSC-NY, Inc. BSC provides management and administrative services to psychotherapy and psychological practices in the greater New York City metropolitan area. Behavioral Health Online, Inc. BHO designs, develops and maintains the Company's web site, Behavioralhealthonline.com. The web site when fully operational will provide behavioral health professionals with the educational tools required to keep them abreast of behavioral health breakthroughs and keep individuals informed of current issues in behavioral health of interest to them. The site was launched in May 1999. Operating Statistics The following table reflects selected financial and statistical information for all psychiatric services.

Closed and Discontinued Operations Franvale The Company engaged Oasis Management Company ("Oasis") on November 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997 to provide management services to Franvale. On February 19, 1997, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, as the result of a routine survey, cited the Company's Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center ("Franvale") for serious patient care and safety deficiencies. The State imposed a civil penalty on the Company of $3,050 per day and reduced it to $2,250 per day on March 12, 1997. The State reduced the fine to $90,545 in total after the Company filed an appeal. The Department of Public Health and the federal agency, HCFA, notified the Company at the time of the original citation, that Franvale (11) would be terminated from the Medicare and Medicaid programs unless Franvale was in substantial compliance with regulatory requirements by March 14, 1997. Franvale submitted a plan of correction to the Department of Public Health and on March 12, 1997, as the result of a resurvey by the Department of Public Health, a new statement of deficiencies was issued, which contained a significant number of violations but recharacterized the level of seriousness of the deficiencies to a lower degree of violation and which extended the threatened date of termination to April 30, 1997. As a result of the new statement of deficiencies, the Department of Public Health had precluded the Company from admitting new patients to its Franvale facility until at least April 30, 1997. However, on April 11, 1997, the Company received authority to admit new patients on a case-by-case basis. The State permitted previous patients to be readmitted to the Franvale facility only after a case-by-case review by the Department of Public Health. The Company was obligated to notify the attending physician of each resident of Franvale who was found to have received substandard care of the deficiency notice and was obligated also to notify the Massachusetts board which licenses the administrator of Franvale. On April 19, 1997 the Department of Public Health, Division of Health Care Quality completed a follow-up survey of the Franvale Nursing Home. As a result of this survey it was determined that all deficiencies cited from the April 17, 1997 visit had been corrected and the restrictions on Franvale's ability to admit patients were lifted. The Company replaced the management team at Franvale and expended significant sums for staffing and programmatic improvements in order to bring the facility into substantial compliance at the earliest possible date. The Company conducted an intensive staff review, which resulted in a total reorganization. The new staff was provided with in-service training. On January 29, 1998 Franvale was again cited for patient care and safety deficiencies by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health as a result of a routine survey. A civil penalty of $224,250 was imposed for the period of time that the facility was not in compliance. At the time of the citation the Company was notified by the Department of Public Health and by the federal agency, HCFA, that Franvale would be terminated from the Medicare and Medicaid programs if the facility was not in substantial compliance with regulatory requirements by February 21, 1998. As a result of this statement of deficiencies Franvale was precluded from readmitting patients or admitting new patients. As of February 13, 1998 the ban from readmission was removed; however, Franvale was still unable to admit new patients until after the resurvey was completed and the facility was found to be in substantial compliance with Federal requirements. On April 14, 1998 the State completed the resurvey of Franvale to determine if the facility had corrected all patient care and safety deficiencies cited by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in its January 29, 1998 routine survey. As a result of the resurvey the facility was found to be in substantial compliance with regulatory requirements. In its letter of April 23, 1998 the State Department of Public Health advised the facility that "all deficiencies were found to have been corrected" and the facility "is now in substantial compliance ...with the federal regulations applicable to long term care facilities". The Department of Public Health also advised the facility in this letter that it was withdrawing its recommendation to the Health Care Finance (12) Administration (HCFA) that the facility certification be terminated, and recommending the denial of payment for new admissions and any civil monetary penalties imposed on the facility cease as of the date the facility alleged that it was in substantial compliance, which was March 29, 1998. Despite the successful survey as documented in the Department's letter, the notice continues by advising the facility that the "limitation on admissions previously imposed ... shall remain in effect, irrespective of whether HCFA accepts the state's recommendation to rescind its pending Medicaid termination action, on the grounds that the Department has initiated and there is currently pending a license revocation action against the facility. On February 12, 1998, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Lexington Healthcare Group, Inc. to sell substantially all the assets and liabilities of Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The inability of Franvale to admit new patients and the State's pending license revocation made completion of the sale an impossibility. As a result of the decrease in census resulting from the inability of Franvale to admit new patients and the limitations on its ability to re-admit patients, the monetary penalties and the expenses that had been incurred by the Company in correcting the cited deficiencies, continued facility cash flow deficit of approximately $80,000 monthly, the stall of the sale of Franvale and the probability that the State would not lift the admission freeze on the facility, the Company concluded that it should file for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code for the wholly owned subsidiary Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. which operates Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. On May 26, 1998 Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy Code in the Eastern Division of the District of Massachusetts at Boston, Massachusetts. The case was assigned to C J Kenner. On May 27, 1998 on motion of Franvale, the court authorized the appointment of a Trustee and appointed Joseph Braunstein as the Chapter 11 Trustee. On May 29, 1998, the Bankruptcy Court terminated the Chapter 11 proceeding determining that there was no likelihood of reorganization since the prospective acquirer of the facility was now imposing certain terms unacceptable to all interested parties and that the transfer of patients and liquidation of assets could be as readily effectuated in a state court receivership under the aegis of the Massachusetts Health Care Statutes and accordingly dismissed the Chapter 11 case. On June 1, 1998, on the Petition of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on behalf of the Department of Public Health with the acquiescence of Franvale, Robert Griffin was appointed by J. Kottmyer as Receiver to transfer the patients and close the facility expeditiously. In October 1998 the Company's Bankruptcy Attorney received notification that as of September 30, 1998 the patient care receivership for Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. was terminated. On October 5, 1998, in response to the termination of the State Receivership, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the United States bankruptcy Code in the Eastern Division of the District of Massachusetts at Boston, Massachusetts. On October 7, 1998 the court appointed Mark G. DeGiacomo as the Chapter 7 Trustee. (13) As a consequence of Franvale's bankruptcy and subsequent receivership, a number of claims have been asserted against the Company or may be asserted against the Company in the future. To date, such claims are as follows: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts named Franvale, the Company and Bruce Shear as party defendants in the Commonwealth receivership action, C.A. No. 98-2783 in the Superior Court, Suffolk County. On June 28, 1999, the Superior Court entered a judgment of dismissal, dismissing the case without prejudice and without costs, as of September 16, 1998. The Company understands that the facility has been closed, all patients transferred and that the Commonwealth receiver has resigned. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts may institute a claim seeking to recover any expenses incurred but not recovered by the Commonwealth as a consequence of Franvale's receivership. The Commonwealth has a receivership statute that allows the Commonwealth to seek indemnification for receivership expenses from "licensee[s], persons responsible for the affairs of the licensee, or the owner." Under Commonwealth law, the Commonwealth could seek to hold the Company liable as a "licensee" or "a person responsible for the affairs of the licensee [Franvale]." Management believes that there are defenses to any such claim. At this time the potential claim does not appear to be a material issue, however, since the Company understands that Franvale's collectible accounts receivable are far in excess of the operating expenses and the receiver's fees that were incurred during the receivership. On or about September 14, 1998, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Franvale, were each served with document subpoenas in connection with an on-going investigation of Franvale being conducted by the Massachusetts Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. The focus of the investigation appears to be the quality of patient care provided by Franvale during the period of early 1997 until the facility was placed into receivership in June 1998. The Company has cooperated fully with the investigation including the production of documents. While no specific dollar demand has yet been asserted by the state, the Attorney General's office has indicated that a payment will be required to settle this action. Preliminary negotiations between the Company and the State are under way. The Company has been named as a defendant in a proceeding captioned Healthcare Services Group, Inc. v. Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. and PHC, Inc., C.A. No. 98-132 (Sup. Ct., Suffolk Co., MA). The plaintiff, supplier of housekeeping and laundry services to Franvale, alleges two causes of action against the Company in the Substitute First Amended Complaint. In Count III (Accord and Satisfaction), plaintiff seeks $51,845 for the Company's alleged breach of an agreement to pay plaintiff the money it was owed. In Count IV (Guaranty), plaintiff alleges that the Company agreed to pay Franvale's debt but did not do so; plaintiff seeks a judgment of $67,412. The Company filed an answer contesting plaintiff's claims. Plaintiff propounded requests for admissions to which the Company responded. Plaintiff recently noticed two depositions and served the Company with a request for documents. Discovery was set to close September 1, 1999, but was extended by the consent of the parties. At this time it is not possible for the Company to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to predict the Company's potential loss. Based on the ad damnum clause of the Substitute First Amended Complaint, the maximum potential loss to the Company is alleged to be $67,412, plus costs and interest from the date of demand. (14) On or about November 4, 1998, Mellon US Leasing, a division of Mellon Leasing Corporation, a successor in interest to US Capital Corp. ("Mellon"), brought a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court for Essex County, Massachusetts, C.A. No. 98-2116. Mellon alleged that the Company had guaranteed a lease agreement entered into by Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, on which Quality Care had defaulted. Mellon sought damages of $222,005, plus interest costs and reasonable attorney's fees. Since the company did guarantee of this debt of the subsidiary at the inception of the lease, on or about July 28, 1999, the Company and Mellon reached an agreement in principle, although no documents have yet been signed memorializing the settlement. The terms of the settlement are that the Company will pay Mellon the sum of $150,000 over a period of 36 months at the interest rate of 9 percent per year in exchange for dismissal of the lawsuit and the execution of releases. The liquidation of the assets and liabilities of Franvale may result in a non-cash financial statement gain of approximately $2,000,000. In the quarter ended December 31, 1998 the company was relieved of the HUD mortgage of approximately $6,741,000 and surrendered the underlying assets amounting to approximately $4,329,000. The recognition of the gain has been deferred until final resolution of all contingent liabilities. Good Hope Center Good Hope Center is a 49-bed substance abuse treatment facility located in West Greenwich, Rhode Island which, until May, 1998 was operated by the Company's subsidiary PHC of Rhode Island, Inc. The Good Hope Center operated at a loss for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 because of a decline in census, length of stay and lower reimbursements from third party payors. Efforts to increase length of stay and improve market share were unsuccessful requiring the closure of the facility. In May 1998 the Company closed Good Hope Center and entered into an agreement terminating the lease for the facility. As of June 30, 1999, the company paid all of the expenses related to the facility and met all of the terms of the agreement. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company collected over $100,000 in accounts receivable previously written off resulting in Net Income of approximately $108,000 for the facility for the year. Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. In June 1998 the Company decided to close the Blacksburg Clinic and consolidate the Blacksburg resources and operations with the Salem Clinic operations to enhance profitability of Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. The write down of assets and anticipated costs related to the closing of the Blacksburg clinic are reflected in the accompanying June 30, 1998 Financial Statements. In December 1998 the Company decided to close the remaining Pioneer Counseling of Virginia clinic located in Salem, Virginia. Since the Company was required by contract to give 30-days notice to contract therapists before closing the clinic, in January 1999 the Company closed its 80% owned outpatient operations in Virginia, Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. The Company sold this business, excluding accounts receivable and most fixed assets, to the minority owners in exchange for their shares of stock in Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. approximately $25,000, release from the first mortgage on the (15) property of approximately $506,000 and release from Notes Payable to the minority owners of $20,000. Operating Statistics The following table reflects closed and discontinued operations: For the Year Ended June 30 1999 1998 1997 ______________________________________ Discontinued Operations Franvale: Loss $ 0 $(2,220,296) $(1,958,756) Closed Operations Good Hope Center Income (Loss) $ 108,372 $(1,540,772) $ (642,119) Pioneer Counseling Centers of Virginia, Inc. Loss $ (811,957) $ (583,188) $ (120,914) The Company experienced a recovery of accounts written off resulting in net income from Good Hope Center in fiscal year 1999. No further significant recoveries of this nature are expected in future periods. Business Strategy The Company's objective is to become a leading national provider of treatment services, specializing in substance abuse and psychiatric care. The Company focuses its marketing efforts on "safety-sensitive" industries. 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, oil and gas exploration, heavy machinery and equipment, manufacturing and healthcare services. Additionally, the Company markets its services in the gaming industry both in Nevada and nationally. The Company employs six individuals dedicated to marketing among the (16) Company's facilities. Each facility performs marketing activities in its local region. The National Marketing Director of the Company coordinates the majority of the Company's national marketing efforts. In addition, employees at certain facilities perform national marketing activities independent of the National Marketing Director. 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. 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 system of comprehensive outpatient mental health clinics and physician practices managed by the Company complement the Company's inpatient facilities. These clinics and medical practices are strategically located in Nevada, Virginia, Kansas City, Michigan, Utah and New York. 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 Pioneer Development and Support Services (PDS2) located in the Highland Ridge facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. PDS2 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 has been successful in securing a number of national accounts with a variety of corporations including: Boyd Gaming, Canadian Rail, Conrail, CSX, the IUE, MCC, MGM, Station Casinos, Union Pacific Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad Hospital Association, VBH, and others. In addition to its direct patient care services, the Company launched its web site, Behavioralhealthonline.com, in May 1999. Although many of the articles published on the web site are of interest to the general public, the Company's primary target market is the behavioral health professional. When fully operational the site will not only provide information to the behavioral health professional, but will also provide a time and cost effective alternative for acquiring the professional educational units required each year. 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 (17) 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, employees and treatment facilities. 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. 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. 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 on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ("JCAHO") survey and accredit the Company's inpatient facilities and the Company's outpatient facilities comply with the standards of National Commission Quality Assurance ("NCQA") although the facilities are not NCQA certified. The Company's professional staff, including physicians, social workers, psychologists, nurses, dietitians, therapists and counselors, must meet the minimal requirements of licensure related to their specific discipline, in addition to each facility's own internal quality assurance criteria. The Company participates in the federally mandated National Practitioners Data Bank, which monitors professional accreditation nationally. 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. (18) 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 effect 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. The Company cannot predict whether any such 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. In addition, many states, including the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Michigan, are considering reductions in state Medicaid budgets. Health Planning Requirements Some of the states in which the Company operates, and many of the states where the Company may consider expansion opportunities, 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 determination 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. Several states, including the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have instituted moratoria on some types of DoN's or otherwise stated an intent not to grant approvals for certain health services. Such moratoria may adversely affect the Company's ability to expand in such states, but may also provide a barrier to entry to potential competitors. Licensure and Certification State regulatory authorities must license all of the Company's facilities. The Company's Harbor Oaks facility is certified for participation as a provider in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. (19) 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, 1999 13.11% of revenues for Harbor Oaks were derived from Medicare programs. The Medicare program generally reimburses psychiatric facilities pursuant to its prospective payment system ("PPS"), in which each facility receives an interim payment of its allowable costs during the year which is later adjusted to reflect actual allowable direct and indirect costs of services based upon the submission of a cost report at the end of each year. However, current Medicare payment policies allow certain psychiatric service providers an exemption from PPS. In order for a facility to be eligible for exemption from PPS, the facility must comply with numerous organizational and operational requirements. PPS-exempt providers are cost reimbursed, receiving the lower of reasonable costs or reasonable charges. The Medicare program fiscal intermediary pays a per diem rate based upon prior year costs, which may be retroactively adjusted upon the submission of annual cost reports. The Harbor Oaks facility is currently PPS-exempt. The amount of its cost-based reimbursement may be limited by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA") and regulations promulgated under the Act. Generally, TEFRA limits the amount of reimbursement a facility may receive to a target amount per discharge, adjusted annually for inflation. The facility's reasonable Medicare operating costs divided by Medicare discharges, plus a per diem allowance for capital costs during its base year of operations determines the target amount. It is not possible to predict the ability of Harbor Oaks to remain PPS-exempt or to anticipate the impact of TEFRA upon the reimbursement received by Harbor Oaks in future periods. 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. Medicaid Reimbursement Currently the only facility of the Company that (20) receives reimbursement under any state Medicaid program is Harbor Oaks. 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. Harbor Oaks is a participant in the Medicaid program 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. Employees As of September 15, 1999, the Company had 299 employees of which 6 were dedicated to marketing, 79 (12 part time) to finance and administration and 214 (91 part time) to patient care. All of the Company's 299 employees are leased from Inovis, formerly International Personnel Resources, LTD. ("IPR"), a national employee-leasing firm. The Company has elected to lease its employees to provide more favorable employee health benefits at lower cost than would be available to the Company as a single employer and to eliminate certain administrative tasks which otherwise would be imposed on the management of the Company. The agreement provides that Inovis will administer payroll, provide for compliance with workers' compensation laws, including procurement of workers' compensation insurance and administering claims, and procure and provide designated employee benefits. The Company retains the right to reject the services of any leased employee and Inovis has the right to increase its fees at any time upon thirty days' written notice or immediately upon any increase in payroll taxes, workers' compensation insurance premiums or the cost of employee benefits provided to the leased employees. 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. None of the Company's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its relationships with its employees are good. (21) INSURANCE Each of the Company's facilities maintains separate professional liability insurance policies. Mount Regis, Harbor Oaks, Harmony Healthcare, Total Concept, NPP and BSC have coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. Highland Ridge has limits of $1,000,000 per claim and $6,000,000 in the aggregate. In addition, these entities maintain 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 and an umbrella policy of $1,000,000. The Company believes, based on its experience, that its insurance coverage is adequate for its business and that it will continue to be able to obtain adequate coverage. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Executive Offices The Company's executive offices are located in Peabody, Massachusetts. The Company's new lease agreement in Peabody covers approximately 4,800 square feet for a 60-month term, which expires September 17, 2004. The current annual payment under the lease is $72,000 and increases to $87,516 in the final year. This space will also house Behavioral Health Online, Inc. 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. The Company is currently operating on a month to month basis until the lease is finalized. The lease currently in negotiations is for a five-year agreement, which provides for monthly rental payments of approximately $15,000, which includes housekeeping and maintenance for the first six months, and includes changes in rental payments each year based on increases or decreases in the CPI. After the initial six month term the faqcility will pay yet undetermined additional amount each month for housekeeping and maintenance.The leae in its current form would expire December 31, 2004, and includes an option to renew for an additional five years. The Company believes that these premises are adequate for its current and anticipated needs. Mount Regis Center The Company owns the Mount Regis facility, which consists of a three-story wooden building located on an approximately two-acre site in a residential neighborhood. The building consists of over 14,000 square feet and is subject to a mortgage in the approximate amount of $460,000. 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 (22) The Company owns or leases premises for each of its psychiatric facilities. Harmony, Total Concept, NPP and BSC each lease their premises. The Company believes that each of these premises is leased at fair market value and coule 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 $1,600,000 mortgage on this property. The Company believes that these premises are adequate for its current and anticipated needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. As a consequence of Franvale's bankruptcy and subsequent receivership, a number of claims have been asserted against the Company or may be asserted against the Company in the future. To date, such claims are as follows: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts named Franvale, the Company and Bruce Shear as party defendants in the Commonwealth receivership action, C.A. No. 98-2783 in the Superior Court, Suffolk County. On June 28, 1999, the Superior Court entered a judgment of dismissal, dismissing the case without prejudice and without costs, as of September 16, 1998. The Company understands that the facility has been closed, all patients transferred and that the Commonwealth receiver has resigned. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts may institute a claim seeking to recover any expenses incurred but not recovered by the Commonwealth as a consequence of Franvale's receivership. The Commonwealth has a receivership statute that allows the Commonwealth to seek indemnification for receivership expenses from "licensee[s], persons responsible for the affairs of the licensee, or the owner." Under Commonwealth law, the Commonwealth could seek to hold the Company liable as a "licensee" or "a person responsible for the affairs of the licensee [Franvale]." Management believes that there are defenses to any such claim. At this time the potential claim does not appear to be a material issue, however, the Company understands that Franvale's collectible accounts receivable are far in excess of the operating expenses and the receiver's fees that were incurred during the receivership. On or about September 14, 1998, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Franvale, were each served with document subpoenas in connection with an on-going investigation of Franvale being conducted by the Massachusetts Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. The focus of the investigation appears to be the quality of patient care provided by Franvale during the period of early 1997 until the facility was placed into receivership in June 1998. The Company has cooperated fully with the investigation including the production of documents. While no specific dollar demand has yet been asserted by the state, the Attorney General's office has indicated that a payment will be required to settle this action. Preliminary negotiations between the Company and the State are under way. The Company has been named as a defendant in a proceeding captioned Healthcare Services Group, Inc. v. Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. and PHC, Inc., C.A. No. 98-132 (Sup. Ct., Suffolk Co., MA). The plaintiff, (23) supplier of housekeeping and laundry services to Franvale, alleges two causes of action against the Company in the Substitute First Amended Complaint. In Count III (Accord and Satisfaction), plaintiff seeks $51,845 for the Company's alleged breach of an agreement to pay plaintiff the money it was owed. In Count IV (Guaranty), plaintiff alleges that the Company agreed to pay Franvale's debt but did not do so; plaintiff seeks a judgment of $67,412. The Company filed an answer contesting plaintiff's claims. Plaintiff propounded requests for admissions to which the Company responded. Plaintiff recently noticed two depositions and served the Company with a request for documents. Discovery was set to close September 1, 1999, but has been extended by the consent of the parties. At this time it is not possible for the Company to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to predict the Company's potential loss. Based on the ad damnum clause of the Substitute First Amended Complaint, the maximum potential loss to the Company is alleged to be $67,412, plus costs and interest from the date of demand. On or about November 4, 1998, Mellon US Leasing, a division of Mellon Leasing Corporation, a successor in interest to US Capital Corp. ("Mellon"), brought a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court for Essex County, Massachusetts, C.A. No. 98-2116. Mellon alleged that the Company had guaranteed a lease agreement entered into by Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, on which Quality Care had defaulted. Mellon sought damages of $222,005, plus interest costs and reasonable attorney's fees. Since the company did guarantee of this debt of the subsidiary at the inception of the lease on or about July 28, 1999, the Company and Mellon reached an agreement in principle, although no documents have yet been signed memorializing the settlement. The terms of the settlemen are that the Company will pay Mellon the sum of $150,000 over a period of 36 months at the interest rate of 9 percent per year in exchange for didmissal of the lawsuit and the execution of releases. (24) ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company's Units, Class A Common Stock and Class A Warrants have been traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbols "PIHCU," "PIHC" and "PIHCW," respectively, since the Company's initial public offering which was declared effective on March 3, 1994. There is no public trading market for the Company's Class B Common Stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sale price of the Company's Class A Common Stock, as reported by NASDAQ. High Low 1998 First Quarter $ 3 9/16 $ 2 1/4 Second Quarter $ 3 $ 1 7/8 Third Quarter $ 2 13/16 $ 1 7/8 Fourth Quarter $ 2 7/16 $ 1 5/8 1999 First Quarter $ 2 $ 5/8 Second Quarter $ 1 1/16 $ 9/16 Third Quarter $ 1 3/4 $ 13/16 Fourth Quarter $ 1 15/32 $ 13/16 2000 First Quarter(through September 15, 1999) $1 5/16 $ 15/16 On September 15, 1999, the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock was $1.09375. On September 15, 1999 there were 452 holders of record of the Company's Class A Common Stock and 312 holders of record of the Company's Class B Common Stock. DIVIDEND POLICY The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. While there are currently no restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends, the Company anticipates that in the future, earnings, if any, will be retained for use in the business or for other corporate purposes, and it is not anticipated that cash dividends in respect of Common Stock will be paid in the foreseeable future. Any decision as to the future payment of dividends will depend on the results of operations and financial position of the Company and such other factors as the Company's Board of Directors, in its discretion, deems relevant. (25) ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. During the fiscal years several businesses were acquired or closed which makes comparability of period results difficult. See Psychiatric Service Industry - Operating Statistics" in Part One, Item One of this report for further detail. Overview The Company presently provides health care services through two substance abuse treatment centers, a psychiatric hospital and seven outpatient psychiatric centers (collectively called "treatment facilities"). The Company's revenue for providing behavioral health services through these facilities is derived from Medicare and Medicaid and contracts with managed care companies, 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 payor mix at these treatment facilities. 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 because of the fixed components of these expenses. The Company's most recent addition, Behavioral Health Online, Inc., is a provider of behavioral health information and education through its web site. Revenues from the web site are expected to be derived from behavioral health professionals for educational units required by professional standards, sponserships and advertising for behavioral health suppliers and the sale of books, tapes and other behavioral health related items to behavioral health professionals and other consumers. 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 ongoing 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. 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 reduced payment for services. (26) Results of Operations Years Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 The Company experienced an increase in profitability from its continuing operations. Earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization for currently operating facilities increased by $1,351,169 for the year ended June 30, 1999 to $845,747 from a loss for the year ended June 30, 1998 of $505,422. These amounts exclude income and loss for both years for the California, Rhode Island, and Virginia operations. Although net revenue for the operating facilities decreased by 2%, approximately $337,000, for the year ended June 30, 1999, many changes toward more efficient operations resulted in non-proportional decreases in many operating expenses. Total consultant fees related to patient care decreased 16% to $2,273,601 for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $2,721,960 for the year ended June 30, 1998. While patient care related payroll expense increased only 2% to $5,507,138 for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $5,417,628 for the year ended June 30, 1998. This is a combined 4% reduction in the cost of salaries related to patient care as a result of the more efficient use of salaried employees time and the reduction in the use of non-employee therapists for patient care. More efficient ordering has resulted in a decrease of 62% in the cost of hospital supplies excluding food, laboratory fees and pharmacy, which also decreased. A change in laboratory service provider and more efficient management of requests for lab tests resulted in a 37%, approximately $76,000, decrease in laboratory fees expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. A change in pharmacy and a shift in some pharmacy billing from our facilities to the vendor resulted in a 7%, approximately $14,000, decrease in pharmacy costs for the operating facilities. Savings were also evident in administrative expenses for the operating facilities. More efficient ordering also resulted in a decrease of 10.8%, approximately $25,000, in the cost of general office supplies and expense. Consolidating marketing efforts contributed toward a 24%, approximately $74,000, decrease in marketing, promotion, and travel expenses. More efficient staffing in administrative positions resulted in a decrease of 17%, approximately $458,000, in administrative payroll, while the cost of administrative consultants also decreased 26% or approximately $63,000. Bad debt expenses also decreased 27%, approximately $775,000, due to the considerable charge to bad debt expense in the previous year and the current decline in accounts receivable. Because most of the changes outlined above were in place for all of the year ended June 30, 1999, the Company does not expect to experience the same decreases in expenses in future years but intends to work at maintaining the current level of expenses. The Company will, however, continue to evaluate operations looking for less expensive alternatives to provide the same quality service. The Company reduced its total loss by $5,090,703 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 compared to June 30, 1998. The Company also continued to divest itself of facilities operating at a loss. The remaining Pioneer Counseling of Virginia clinic was closed in January 1999 resulting in approximately $300,000 in expenses to write-down intangible assets. The total loss recorded for Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, including this expense was approximately $810,000. The final cost of the release from two of the Michigan outpatient clinic leases is also reflected in the current fiscal year. The Company also experienced a loss of approximately $160,000 through its start up operations for Behavioralhealthonline.com. None of the start-up costs of the web site have been capitalized. Except for the purchase of equipment, all costs have been expensed (27) as incurred. The web site produces minimal revenues during the development stages when operating costs are high. To date, no revenues have been recorded for the web site. The web site is expected to be fully operational in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2000. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 the Company experienced a loss from the discontinued operations of Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of approximately $2,200,000. 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 resulted in an overall decrease in its accounts receivable. In response to today's healthcare environment, the Company's collection policy calls for earlier 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. Our collectors also seek assistance through every legal means, including the State insurance commissioner's office, when appropriate, to collect claims. This early concentration on claim collection allows facility staff to become aware of minor billing errors early and correct them before the claim can be denied for timely and accurate submission. Any valid claims denied due to billing errors on the part of the Company which require write-off are charged to bad debt expense in the period the account is written off. Any invalid claims result in a charge against revenue not reserves. An amount is recorded as a contractual adjustment only if an agreement with the insurance carrier is on file before the patient is admitted. Although the Company's receivables have decreased, the Company continues to reserve for bad debts based on managed care denials and past difficulty in collections. Changing conditions in healthcare required the Company to reevaluate its methods for determining collectability. The growth of managed care has negatively impacted reimbursement for behavioral health services with a higher rate of denials requiring higher reserves. The collection difficulties experienced are due to the denial of claims, that had been previously approved. Managed care companies frequently deny claims although authorization for treatment is on file. The Company has limited success in challenging these denials. Accordingly, the Company has adopted a more aggressive reserve policy to reserve amounts sooner to address these changing conditions in the healthcare environment. During the year ended June 30, 1998 the Company increased its bad debt reserve by approximately $300,000 to write down the receivables of the closed Rhode Island facility, Good Hope Center, and during the year ended June 30, 1999 the Company increased its bad debt reserve by approximately $33,000 to write down the receivables of the closed Virginia facility, Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. Total patient care revenue from all facilities, decreased 10% to $19,139,496 for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $21,246,189 for the year ended June 30, 1998. This decline in revenue is due primarily to the decline in census and closure of Good Hope Center in Rhode Island. Net inpatient care revenue from psychiatric services decreased 12% to $11,955,143 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 compared to $13,640,801 for the year ended June 30, 1998 and net outpatient care revenue decreased 7% to $5,574,835 for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $6,008,552 for the year ended June 30, 1998. Revenues from Practice Management and Pioneer Development and Support Services ("PDSS") increased 3% to $1,519,518 for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $1,476,836 for the year ended June 30, 1998. All revenues reported above and in the accompanying statement 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. Total patient care expenses for all facilities decreased 12% to $9,384,070 for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $10,706,639 for the year ended June 30, 1998. This decrease in patient care expenses is largely a result of the closure (28) of Good Hope Center and the Virginia clinics. The Company expects these expenses to decline in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999. Total administrative expenses for all facilities decreased 17% to $7,865,013 for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $9,488,631 for the year ended June 30, 1998. This decrease in administrative expense is due largely to the one-time charges recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. Expenses for the closure of Good Hope Center and the Blacksburg Clinic were among these one-time charges. There was significant increase in other assets in the year ended June 30, 1999. Other assets consist of deposits and other deferred expenses. This increase is primarily due to the deferred expenses of Quality Care Centers recorded during the year. These deferred expenses are legal expenses and other closure expenses relating to the move of records from the facility and production of facility records for various litigations as listed under ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS in this report. The deferred expenses will be offset against an expected gain to be realized upon the final resolution of the closing of Quality Care Centers. Year 2000 Compliance The Company was unable to reach an agreement with its Information Systems Vendor to upgrade its current accounts receivable software to accommodate a four-digit year. The Company has identified alternative software solutions, which are year 2000 compliant. The software installation is anticipated to be operational by the deadline; however, as a precaution, the Company has contacted each of its facilities' fiscal intermediaries and has been granted an extension of time beyond the HCFA deadline for year 2000 compliance. In the event that installation of the software is delayed, each facility is making plans to complete the billing process by adding the four-digit year manually for those bills that are not currently processed through a third party electronic biller. Although this is a time consuming and costly alternative, it will allow the Company to continue processing bills. The Company has already upgraded the network software at the corporate offices and most of its facilities and is currently upgrading hardware to accommodate all required software upgrades. The Company is currently in the process of contacting each third party payor of accounts receivable, financial institution, major supplier of essential products and utility to request the status of their year 2000 compliance. The company has received responses from approximately 60% of all vendors contacted. All operation critical equipment, telephones, elevators, etc., has been tested and found to be compliant. There are a few suppliers of goods and services critical to operations that have not yet responded. The Company is in the process of identifying alternate sources for these goods and services. To date the Company has expended approximately $60,000 on items relating to the year 2000 issues and anticipates approximately $165,000 in additional expenses relating to the upgrade of Company's computer systems. Liquidity and Capital Resources For the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, the Company met its cash flow needs through accounts receivable financing and by issuing debt and equity securities as follows: (29) DATE TRANSACTION TYPE NUMBER OF PROCEEDS MATURITY TERMS STATUS SHARES DATE 9/97 Common Stock 172,414 $500,000 N/A Issued with Common Stock warrants at a Sold 3.3% discount 9/97 Warrant issued as 86,207 -- 09/30/2002 exercise price outstanding part of the units $2.90 in the Private Placement of Common Stock 9/97 Warrant issued in 150,000 -- 05/31/2002 exercise price outstanding exchange for cash and $2.50 financial advisory services 12/97 Mortgage advance -- $500,000 10/31/2001 Prime Plus 5% outstanding 3/98 Warrant issued as 3,000 -- 03/10/2003 exercise price outstanding a penalty for late $2.90 registration of Private Placement Common Stock 3/98 Note Payable -- $350,000 05/10/99 Prime Plus outstanding as extended 3.5% 3/98 Warrants issued as 52,500 -- 03/10/2003 exercise price outstanding additional interest on $2.38 3/98 debt (7) 3/98 Common Stock issued 227,347 $534,265 N/A N/A N/A to the former owners of BSC-NY, Inc. for the earn out agreement in lieu of cash 3/98 Convertible Preferred 950 $950,000 03/18/2000 6% Interest outstanding Stock per Yr. convertible at 80% of 5 day average bid price 3/98 Warrants issued in 49,990 -- 03/18/2001 exercise price outstanding connection with the $2.31 Private Placement of Convertible Preferred Stock on 3/98 5/98 Note Payable - -- $50,000 on demand 12% annual outstanding Related Party interest rate 6/98 Note Payable - -- $50,000 on demand 12% annual outstanding Related Party interest rate (30) 7/98 Warrants issued as 52,500 -- 07/10/2003 exercise price outstanding additional interest on $1.81 extension of 3/98 debt 7/98 Warrants issued as 20,000 -- 07/10/2003 exercise price outstanding additional interest on $1.81 extension of 3/98 debt 8/98 Warrants issued for 50,000 -- 08/15/2001 exercise price outstanding services $1.75 8/98 Note Payable - -- $100,000 on demand 12% annual outstanding Related Party interest rate 12/98 Shares issued for 304,097 -- -- -- outstanding price guaratee 12/98 Convertible Debentures -- $500,000 12/02/2004 12% annual outstanding interest convertible at $2.00 in $1,000 increments 12/98 Warrants issued in 165,000 -- 06/2004 issued from outstanding Private Placement Dec thru June; exercisable at $1.00 to $2.00 01/99 Warrants for services 94,000 -- 05/2004 issued from outstanding Jan thru June; exercisable at $1.00 to $1.45 A significant factor in the liquidity and cash flow of the Company is the timely collection of its accounts receivable. Accounts receivable from patient care, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased 14.6% to $6,938,227 during the year ended June 30, 1999 from $8,126,972 at June 30, 1998. This decrease in accounts receivable is largely the result of the write-down of the accounts receivable for closed facilities, increased staff, standardization of some procedures for collecting receivables and a more aggressive collection policy. The increased staff has allowed the company to concentrate on current accounts receivable and resolve any problem issues before they become uncollectable. The Company's collection policy calls for earlier 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. Our 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 increase reserves for bad debt based on potential insurance denials and past difficulty in collections. In February 1998 the Company entered into an accounts receivable funding revolving credit agreement with Healthcare Financial Partners-Funding II, L.P. ("HCFP"), on behalf of five of its subsidiaries, which provides for funding of up to $4,000,000 based on outstanding receivables. The outstanding balance on this receivables financing on June 30, 1999 was approximately $1,669,830. The Company believes that it has sufficient financing available to sustain existing operations for the foreseeable future. The Company also intends to renew the expansion of its existing operations through new product lines and expansion of contracts. The Company will also expand through its web site operations offering the behavioral health professional goods and services unique (31) and specific to their needs for a fee. The liquidation of the assets and liabilities of Franvale may result in a non-cash financial statement gain of approximately $2,000,000. In the quarter ended December 31, 1998 the company was relieved of the HUD mortgage of approximately $6,741,000 and surrendered the underlying assets amounting to approximately $4,329,000. The recognition of the gain has been deferred until final resolution of all contingent liabilities. (32) ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation and consolidation: PHC, Inc. ("PHC" or the "Company") operates substance abuse treatment centers in several locations in the United States, a psychiatric hospital in Michigan and psychiatric outpatient facilities in Nevada, Kansas and Michigan. PHC also manages a psychiatric practice in New York, operates an outpatient facility through a physicians practice, and operates behavioral health centers and maintains a behavioral health web site. PHC of Utah, Inc. ("PHU") and PHC of Virginia, Inc. ("PHV") provide treatment of addictive disorders and chemical dependency. PHC of Michigan, Inc. ("PHM") provides inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care. PHC of Nevada, Inc. ("PHN") and PHC of Kansas, Inc. ("PHK") provide psychiatric treatment on an outpatient basis. North Point-Pioneer, Inc. ("NPP") operates four outpatient behavioral health centers under the name of Pioneer Counseling Centers. Behavioral Stress Centers, Inc. ("BSC") provides management and administrative services to psychotherapy and psychological practices (see Note K). Behavioral Health Online, Inc. ("BHO") provides behavioral health information and education through its web site. Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. ("Quality Care") operated a long-term care facility known as the Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (see Note I). The consolidated financial statements include PHC and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Until January 1999, the Company operated Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. ("PCV"), an 80% owned subsidiary which provided outpatient services through a physicians practice. Until May 31, 1998, the Company operated Good Hope Center, a substance abuse treatment facility in West Greenwich, Rhode Island ("Good Hope"). Until June 1, 1998 the Company also operated a subacute long-term care facility, Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center ("Franvale"), in Braintree Massachusetts. On June 1, 1998 Franvale was placed into state receivership. On October 5, 1998 Franvale filed for protection under the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy code. All financial information for Franvale is reported in the accompanying financial statements as discontinued operations. The liquidation of the assets and liabilities of Franvale may result in a non-cash financial statement gain of approximately $2,000,000. In the quarter ended December 31, 1998 the company was relieved of the HUD mortgage of approximately $6,741,000 and surrendered the underlying assets amounting to approximately $4,329,000. The recognition of the gain has been deferred until final resolution of all contingent liabilities. During the year ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded an increase in its accounts receivable reserve in line with its more aggressive reserve policy established last year and reserved for the remaining accounts receivable balance for the closed Rhode Island facility and the closed Pioneer Counseling of Virginia facilities. 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 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. 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. F-8 (42) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Revenues and accounts receivable (continued) Medicaid reimbursements are currently based on established rates depending on the level of care provided and are adjusted prospectively. Medicare reimbursements are currently based on provisional rates that are adjusted retroactively based on annual cost reports filed by the Company with Medicare. The Company's cost reports to Medicare are routinely audited on an annual basis. The Company periodically reviews its provisional billing rates and provides for estimated Medicare adjustments. 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. The Company has $585,714 of receivables from Medicaid and Medicare at June 30, 1999, which constitute a concentration of credit risk should Medicaid and Medicare defer or be unable to make reimbursement payments as due. Long-term assets include accounts receivable-non-current, other receivables-non-current-related party and other receivables. Accounts receivable-non-current consists of amounts due from former patients for service. This amount represents amounts collectable under supplemental payment agreements, arranged by the Company's 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. Accounts of former patients that do not comply with these supplemental payment agreements are written off. Other receivables-non-current-related party is the amount due from a related professional corporation net of the related allowance for doubtful accounts. This amount consists of the balance due of funds advanced to the professional corporation for acquisition costs, management fees, working capital and interest on the advanced funds (see discussion regarding BSC-NY, Inc. in Note K). Other receivables consists of amounts due to the Company from a third party in a licensure agreement and amounts due from employees for advances. Charity care amounted to approximately $242,000 and $504,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Patient care revenue is stated net of charity care in the accompanying statements of operations. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using accelerated and 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 Term of lease Other assets: Other assets are primarily deposits and deferred expenses. Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization: The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired is being amortized on a straightline basis over twenty years. F-9 (43) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE A-THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Basic and diluted loss per share: The loss per share is computed by dividing the loss applicable to common shareholders, net of dividends charged directly to retained earnings, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each fiscal year. No common stock equivalents have been included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per share. Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive affects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Dilutive earnings per share is similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. Diluted loss per share does not include warrants, options, convertible securities or contingently issuable shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect. Estimates and assumptions: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 estimates. Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months, when purchased. Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amounts of cash, trade receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value. Impairment of long-lived assets: During the year ended June 30, 1999 the Company wrote off the carrying value of goodwill for Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc., approximately $305,000, and wrote down the remaining balance of accounts receivable for the facility of approximately $43,000. During the year ended June 30, 1998 the Company wrote off the carrying value of goodwill for PHC of Rhode Island, Inc., approximately $ 23,000, and wrote off equipment and the land and building assets related to the capital lease from that facility aggregating approximately $1,240,000 in total assets and the related liability of approximately $1,300,000. Also in 1998 the Company wrote down the remaining balance of accounts receivable from a closed California facility, approximately $92,000, and the equipment, goodwill and additional closing costs recorded for the Blacksburg facility, approximately $136,000, which was closed in fiscal year 1999 to consolidate operations in Salem, Virginia. All of the above write-downs were considered necessary due to the closing of facilities. The assets had no ongoing value or were written-down to their net realizable value. Write-downs in the carrying value of goodwill and property and equipment are charged to depreciation and amortization expense, which is included in administrative expenses in the Company's statements of operations. Write-downs in accounts receivable were charged to the provision for doubtful accounts in the accompanying statements of operations. F-10 (44) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE A-THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) In accordance with FASB statement no. 121, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. The amount of the impairment losses recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Stock-based compensation: The Company accounts for its employee stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The Company adopted the disclosure only alternative, which requires disclosure of the pro forma effects on loss and loss per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been adopted, as well as certain other information. All of the Company's employees are employed under leasing arrangements. The Company believes that its leased employees meet the common law definition of employee and therefore qualify as employees for purposes of applying SFAS 123. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 1998 and July 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and 137. ("SFAS No. 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and ("SFAS No. 137"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 137 require companies to recognize all derivative contracts at their fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (1) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (2) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. These statements are effective for all quarters beginning after July 15, 1999. Historically, the Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to affect its financial statements. In April 1998 Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities was issued which required such costs, including organization costs, to be expensed as incurred and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company does not expect that this Statement of Position will have a material impact on the Company's statement of operations or financial position. F-11 (45) PHC, INC.

At June 30, 1999 the outstanding balance was $1,669,830. Advances are made based on a percentage of accounts receivable and principal is payable upon receipt of proceeds of the accounts receivable. Interest is payable monthly at prime plus 2.25% (10% at June 30, 1999). The agreement is automatically renewable for one-year periods unless terminated by either party. Upon expiration, all remaining principal and interest is due. The notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company's subsidiaries excluding Franvale and guaranteed by PHC. On December 7, 1998 the Company issued the principal sum of $500,000 of convertible debentures with interest at 12% per annum that are due on December 2, 2004. Interest is payable quarterly. The debentures and any unpaid interest are convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $1,000 for 500 shares of common stock, which equates to $2.00 per share of common stock. The traded market price of the Company's common stock at the date of issuance of the convertible debentures was $1.188 per share and accordingly there was no beneficial conversion feature. The holders of the debentures have the right to put all or any portion of the debentures to the Company at the original purchase price plus unpaid interest upon 30 days written notice beginning December 3, 2001. The Company has the right to call the debentures upon the same terms as above. If called, the holders of the debentures then have 20 days from the date of written notice to exercise their conversion privilege as to any debentures not then already converted. NOTE D - CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION At June 30, 1999, the Company was obligated under various capital leases for equipment providing for monthly payments of approximately $5,000 for fiscal 2000 and terms expiring from July 1999 through July 2003.

F-15 (50) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE F - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient taxable income in future fiscal years to realize its net deferred tax assets existing as of June 30, 1999. The Company has closed two facilities that contributed the most significantly to its past losses, the Franvale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and the Good Hope Center. The Company has also implemented procedures to improve the operating efficiency of its remaining centers. The Company also anticipates that it will have a substantial gain on the closing of its Franvale facility of over $2,000,000 (see Note I). NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Operating leases: The Company leases office and treatment facilities and furniture and equipment under operating leases expiring on various dates through January 31, 2004. Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $784,000 and $882,000, respectively. Rent expense includes certain short term rentals and, in 1998, additional rent expense associated with the closing of Good Hope Center. Minimum future rental payments under noncancelable operating leases, having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 1999 are as follows: Year Ending June 30, Amount ___________ ______ 2000 $ 606,854 2001 562,243 2002 552,339 2003 504,989 2004 562,320 Thereafter 14,584 _________ $ 2,803,329 Litigation and contingency: In connection with the liquidation of Franvale, some vendors allege that there are amounts due for services which are the obligation of PHC, Inc. At June 30, 1999 total claims pending amounted to approximately $67,000. In September 1998, the Company and Franvale were each served with subpoenas in connection with an on-going investigation of Franvale being conducted by the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The focus is the quality of patient care provided by Franvale during the period of early 1997 until the facility was placed into receivership in June 1998. The Company is cooperating fully with the investigation and currently is engaged in producing documents requested in the subpoenas. The Company does not believe that it has violated any laws and does not believe that any monetary payments required in connection with this matter will be material to the financial position or results of operations of the Company. In addition, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts may institute a claim against PHC, Inc. to recover expenses incurred as a consequence of Franvale's receivership. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to any such claim and, in any event, it believes that there will be adequate assets remaining in Franvale to satisfy any receivership expenses. F-16 (51) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE H - STOCK PLANS [1] Stock plans: The Company has three stock plans: a stock option plan, an employee stock purchase plan and a nonemployee directors' stock option plan. The stock option plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,000,000 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. The employee stock purchase plan provides for the purchase of Class A common stock at 85 percent of the fair market value at specific dates, to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees. A maximum of 150,000 shares may be issued under this 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, 1999, options for 23,500 shares were granted under this plan. A maximum of 50,000 shares may be issued under this plan. Each outside director is granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of Class A common stock at fair market value on the date of grant, vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant. In February 1997, all 95,375 shares underlying the then outstanding employee stock options were repriced to the current market price, using the existing exercise durations. In September 1998, all 21,875 options due to expire, were extended for an additional five years. Also in September 1998, all 183,875 shares underlying the then outstanding employee stock options were repriced to the current market price, using the existing exercise durations. Under the above plans, at June 30, 1999, 601,580 shares were available for future grant or purchase. F-17 (52) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE H - STOCK PLANS (CONTINUED) The Company had the following activity in its stock option plans for fiscal 1999 and 1998: Number Weighted-Average of Exercise Price Shares Per Share ______ ________________ Option plans: Balance - June 30, 1997 205,375 $4.27 Granted 210,000 $2.37 Cancelled (40,000) $3.21 Balance - June 30, 1998 375,375 $3.32 Granted 218,500 $1.21 Cancelled (71,000) $1.95 Repriced Options Original (183,875) $2.96 Repriced 183,875 $1.25 Balance - June 30, 1999 522,875 $2.02 [2] Stock-based compensation: Options for 252,000 shares are exercisable as of June 30, 1999 at exercise prices ranging from $1.03 to $6.63 and a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $3.08 per share, with a weighted-average remaining contractual life of approximately three years. The exercise prices of options outstanding at June 30, 1999 range from $1.03 to $6.63 per share and have a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $2.02 per share, with a weighted-average remaining contractual life of approximately four years. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, but applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. There was no compensation expense recognized in 1999 or 1998. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost for the plans based on the fair value at the grant date for awards granted, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, loss per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below: F-18 (53) PHC, INC.

The per share weighed-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $.48 and $.87, respectively. NOTE I - OPERATIONS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On May 26, 1998, PHC, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Quality Care, which operates Franvale filed for reorganization under Chapter 11. On May 29, 1998, the Bankruptcy Court terminated the Chapter 11 proceeding determining that there was no likelihood of reorganization since the prospective acquirer of the facility was now imposing certain terms unacceptable to all interested parties and that the transfer of patients and liquidation of assets could be as readily effectuated in a state court receivership under the aegis of the Massachusetts Health Care Statutes and accordingly dismissed the Chapter 11 case. On June 1, 1998, a receiver was appointed to transfer the patients and close the facility expeditiously. The Company has recorded the losses of Franvale through May 31, 1998 in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's Bankruptcy Attorney was notified that effective September 30, 1998 the patient care receivership for Quality Care had been terminated. On October 5, 1998, in response to the termination of the State Receivership, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 7. F-19 (54) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE I - OPERATIONS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Although the full extent of the financial impact on PHC, Inc. cannot be determined at this time, the management of PHC, Inc. does not believe that the liquidation of the assets and liabilities of Quality Care will have a substantial negative impact on PHC's financial position or the results of operations. The Company is subject to a guarantee signed by PHC, Inc. for furniture and equipment purchased by Quality Care during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The amount of this debt recorded by Quality Care in the accompanying financial statements is approximately $150,000. The liquidation of the assets and liabilities of Franvale may result in a non-cash financial statement gain of approximately $2,000,000. In the quarter ended December 31, 1998 the company was relieved of the HUD mortgage of approximately $6,741,000 and surrendered the underlying assets amounting to approximately $4,329,000. The recognition of the gain has been deferred until final resolution of all contingent liabilities. As of June 30, 1999 the Company paid approximately $220,000 in costs related to record transfer and litigation surrounding the close of Franvale. This total deferred amount and any litigation settlements or other related costs will be offset against the Quality Care Centers of Massachusetts, Inc. gain when recognized.

Charges to operations in connection with these warrants amounted to approximately $160,000 and $233,000 in fiscal 1999 and 1998 respectively. In September 1997, the Company received $500,000 in exchange for 172,414 unregistered shares of PHC, Inc. class A common stock and warrants to purchase 86,207 additional shares of PHC, Inc. class A common stock for $2.90 per share in a private placement. The agreement required that the shares be registered within 90 days of closing date of the private placement. The registration was not complete by the deadline therefore the Company was required to issue warrants to purchase 3,000 additional shares at $2.90 per share. F-21 (56) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE J - CERTAIN CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) In February 1998, the Company received $950,000 in exchange for the issuance of Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 49,990 shares of Class A common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $2.31 per share and expire in 2001. The number of shares of Class A common stock into which the preferred stock may be converted is equal to 80% of the closing bid price of the Class A common stock as reported by NASDAQ for the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion which resulted in a deemed dividend of $190,000 in fiscal 1998. Cumulative preferred dividends are at the rate of $60 per share per year, payable quarterly. Dividends are payable in cash or in shares of preferred stock at $1,000 per share. For the year ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 dividends amounted to $ 142,110 and $17,060 respectively. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 the Company issued 53 shares of series B preferred stock in payment of dividends in lieu of cash. The series B convertible preferred stock agreement carries with it a $2.00 minimum conversion price guarantee. If the actual computed conversion price is lower than the minimum conversion price, the Company was originally required to issue a promissory note for the difference between the market value of the shares to be issued at the conversion price and at the minimum conversion price. Subsequent to the issuance of the preferred stock, the Company obtained the right to issue either shares of common stock or promissory notes for the "price guarantee" differential. In December 1998, the Company issued $500,000 in 12% convertible debentures to private investors. These debentures require quarterly interest payments and are convertible in $1,000 increments for 500 shares of PHC, Inc. class A common stock. In conjunction with this debt placement the Company has issued or agreed to issue warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of PHC, Inc. class A common stock at $2.00 per share, 15,000 shares of PHC, Inc. class A common stock at $1.50 per share and 175,000 shares of PHC, Inc. class A common stock at $1.00 per share. On March 26, 1998 the Company issued 227,347 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to the former owners of Behavioral Stress Centers, Inc. now BSC-NY, Inc. in full payment for the earn-out due to be paid to them for the year ended October 31, 1997 resulting in additional goodwill. Of the 227,347 shares issued 127,924 were issued in lieu of cash and were subject to a price guarantee of $2.35, payable in shares. Under the price guarantee the Company issued an additional 304,097 shares of Common Stock in the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The value of the guarantee shares issued was recorded as interest expense. Under existing dilution agreements with other stockholders the issuance of common stock under agreements other than the employee stock purchase and option plans will increase the number of shares issuable and decrease the exercise price of certain of the above warrant agreements based on the difference between the then current market price and the price at which the new common stock is being issued. The dilutive effect of transactions through June 30, 1999 are reflected in the table above. During fiscal 1998, the Class C common stock was canceled and retired because of restrictions on the release of the stock, due to earnings targets which were not achieved. F-22 (57) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE K - ACQUISITIONS In September 1996, the Company purchased the assets of seven outpatient behavioral health centers located in Michigan ("NPP"). The centers were purchased for $532,559 and 15,000 shares of Class A common stock of PHC, Inc. valued at $5.04 per share. The Company borrowed $900,000 (see Note C) to finance the purchase and to provide working capital for the centers. Concurrent with the asset purchase agreement, NPP entered into an employment agreement with a former owner which requires an annual salary of $150,000 and an annual bonus. The agreement is effective for four years and is automatically extended for successive one year terms unless terminated. The salary and bonus are subject to adjustment based on collected billings. NPP also entered into a management agreement whereby $1,500 per month would be paid for five years to the former owners. During fiscal 1998 in connection with the asset purchase agreement, the Company issued 15,000 unregistered shares of Class A common stock which was accounted for as additional purchase price. On November 1, 1996, BSC-NY, Inc. ("BSC"), merged with Behavioral Stress Centers, Inc., a provider of management and administrative services to psychotherapy and psychological practices in the greater New York City Metropolitan Area. In connection with the merger, the Company advanced 150,000 shares of PHC, Inc. Class A common stock and funds to Shliselberg Physician Services, P.C., formerly Perlow Physicians, P.C., ("Shliselberg"), which were in turn issued to the former owners of Behavioral Stress Centers, Inc. to acquire the assets of the medical practices previously serviced by BSC. At June 30, 1999 Shliselberg owed the Company $3,690,113 which includes some acquisition costs, management fees, working capital advances and interest on the advances net of repayments. Total interest charged to Shliselberg by the Company was $305,121 and $378,768 for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 respectively. The Company expects these amounts to be paid in full; however, in consideration of the period of time expected for repayment, the lack of profitability at Shliselberg in prior years and the changing healthcare environment, the Company established judgmental reserves related to these receivables. During fiscal 1998 the Company established a reserve against this receivable in the amount of $382,000. The Company increased the reserve to $782,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. It is expected that collections will be received over the next several years and accordingly, these amounts have been classified as noncurrent related party receivables on the Company's balance sheet. The Company has no ownership interest in Shliselberg. The merger agreement requires additional purchase price to be paid by BSC to the former owners of Behavioral Stress Centers, Inc. for the three years following the merger date. The additional purchase price is based on the income of BSC before taxes and is to be paid in PHC stock, at market value up to $200,000 and the balance, if any, in cash. On March 26, 1998 the Company issued 227,347 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to the former owners of Behavioral Stress Centers, Inc. now BSC-NY, Inc. in full payment for the earn-out due to be paid to them for the year ended October 31, 1997 resulting in additional goodwill. Of the 227,347 shares issued 127,924 were issued in lieu of cash and were subject to a price guarantee of $2.35, payable in shares. Under the price guarantee the Company issued an additional 304,097 shares of Common Stock in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. The value of the guarantee shares issued was recorded as interest expense. F-23 (58) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE K - ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) BSC also entered into a management agreement with Shliselberg whereby management fees are required of Shliselberg on a monthly basis over a five-year period with an automatic renewal for an additional five-year period. The management fee was calculated at 25% of the total monthly expenses of Shliselberg and effective January 1, 1998 the management agreement was amended to provide for a management fee of 20% of the total monthly expenses of Shliselberg. In November 1998 the management fee was further reduced to 18% of the total monthly expenses of Shliselberg. On November 1, 1996, BSC entered into a lease agreement for its facilities. The lease payments are due in equal monthly installments over a three-year period with an option to extend annually for three additional years. The lease is to be paid by Shliselberg in accordance with the management agreement. Summary, unaudited financial information for Shliselberg as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999 is as follows: Total assets $ 3,580,000 Stockholder's deficit $ (782,000) Net revenue $ 2,930,000 Net loss $ (400,349) Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with a Virginia corporation owned by two individuals to whom the Company has an outstanding note payable. The corporation consists of private practices of psychiatry. The Stock Exchange Agreement provided that in exchange for $50,000 in cash and 64,500 shares of restricted Class A common stock, the Company received an 80% ownership interest in the Virginia corporation. The Company also paid $80,444 in legal fees in connection with the Agreement. Concurrent with the Stock Exchange Agreement the two owners of the Virginia corporation each executed Employment Agreements with the Virginia corporation to provide professional services and each was granted an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $4.87 per share. The options expire on April 1, 2002. Each agreement requires an annual salary of $200,000 and expires in five years. Further, a Plan and Agreement of Merger was executed whereby the Virginia corporation was merged into PCV. F-24 (59) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE K - ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED) On January 17, 1997 PCV entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an unrelated general partnership, to purchase real estate with buildings and improvements utilized by the Virginia Corporation for approximately $600,000 of which $540,000 was paid through the issuance of a note (Note C). In accordance with the agreement the two owners will be paid a finders fee for all subsequently acquired medical practices within a 200 mile radius of PCV and those medical practices identified by the owners wherever the location. The finders fee is payable in Class A common stock and in cash. On October 1, 1997 PCV purchased the assets of a clinic located in Blacksburg, Virginia in exchange for $50,000 in cash and 26,024 shares of Class A Common Stock. The company entered into a lease with the former owners for the clinic property and an employment agreement with one of the owners. In accordance with the above agreements the purchase price was allocated as follows: Fixed Assets 10,000 Covenant not to compete 50,000 Goodwill 38,632 _________ $ 98,632 _________ During fiscal 1998 the Company consolidated the operations of the Blacksburg clinic with the Salem, Virginia clinic to enhance profitability. The closure of the Blacksburg clinic, including the write down of related assets and buy out of the lease, is reflected in the June 30, 1998 financial statements. During fiscal 1999 the Company decided to close the remaining Pioneer Counseling of Virginia clinic located in Salem, Virginia. Since the Company was required by contract to give 30-days notice to contract therapists before closing the clinic, in January 1999 the Company closed its 80% owned outpatient operations in Virginia, Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. The Company sold this business, excluding accounts receivable and most fixed assets, to the minority owners in exchange for their shares of stock in Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. approximately $25,000, release from the first mortgage on the property of approximately $506,000 and release from notes payable to the minority owners of $20,000. The closure of this clinic resulted in a loss of approximately $300,000 which was charged to administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. Information is not available to present pro forma financial information relating to the October 1997 acquisition. The Company so advised the Securities and Exchange Commission and received a no action letter with respect to this matter. Had the Blacksburg acquisition made during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 (October 1, 1997), been made as of July 1, 1997, the pro forma effect on the Company's results of operations would have been immaterial and therefore are not shown. F-25 (60) PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1999 and 1998 NOTE L - SALE OF RECEIVABLES The Company had a sale and purchase agreement whereby third-party receivables were sold at a discount with recourse. In February 1998 the Company entered into a finance agreement with Healthcare Financial Partners, Inc. to provide for receivables funding and liquidate the debt due to the above referenced sale and purchase agreement and provide receivables funding for PHC of Virginia, Inc., PHC of Rhode Island, Inc. and Pioneer Counseling of Virginia, Inc. NOTE M - FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS The Company recorded significant adjustments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 related to the closure of Good Hope Center, the write down of receivables of the closed California facility, the write down of the amount due BSC from Shliselberg, the closure of the Blacksburg facility and an increase in accounts receivable reserves of the other facilities. In the quarter ended December 31, 1998 the Company recognized a gain of approximately $1,100,000 in its form 10-QSB related to the liquidation of the assets and liabilities of Franvale (See Note I). The Company subsequently determined that it was more appropriate to defer recognition of any gain until final resolution of all potential liabilities. Accordingly, the Company will amend its December 31, 1998 10-QSB to reverse recognition of this gain in fiscal 1999. The Company wrote-down the amount due BSC from Shliselberg by approximately $368,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 due to slow collections at Shliselberg. NOTE N - EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO JUNE 30, 1999 On July 1, 1999 the Company issued warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock, exercisable at $1.00 per share, to George H. Gordon as part of the December 1998 private placement agreement. On July 5, 1999 the Company issued warrants to purchase 37,500 shares of PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock, exercisable at $1.45 per share, to National Securities Corporation as part of a service agreement. On August 1, 1999 the Company issued warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock, exercisable at $1.00 per share, to George H.

OPTION PLANS Stock Plan The Board of Directors adopted the Company's Stock Plan on August 26, 1993 and the stockholders of the Company approved the plan on November 30, 1993. The Stock Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 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. (67) 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 and 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, 1999, the Company issued additional options to purchase 212,500 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 1993 Stock Plan at a price per share ranging from $1.03 to $1.25. 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. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999 no options were exercised. On November 17, 1997 the Board of Directors voted to amend the 1993 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the plan from 300,000 shares to 400,000 shares. The Stockholders approved this amendment at the annual meeting on December 26, 1997. On September 15, 1998 the Board of Directors voted to amend the 1993 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the plan from 400,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares. The Stockholders approved this amendment at the annual meeting on December 23, 1998. 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 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. An offering period under the plan began on February 1, 1997 and ended on January 31, 1998. Twenty-four employees purchased an aggregate of 14,743 shares of Class A Common Stock. A new offering commenced on February 1, 1998 and ended on January 31, 1999. Eleven employees purchased an aggregate of 15,475 shares of Class A Common Stock. Eleven employees are participating in the current offering period under the plan, which began on February 1, 1999 and will end on January 31, 2000. On November 17, 1997 the Board of Directors voted to amend The Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the plan from 100,000 shares to 150,000 shares. The Stockholders approved this amendment to the plan at the annual meeting on December 26, 1997. (68) Non-Employee Director Stock Plan The Board of Directors adopted the Company's Non-Employee Director Stock Plan (the "Director Plan") on October 18, 1995. The Stockholders of the Company approved the plan on December 15, 1995. Non-qualified options to purchase a total of 30,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are available for issuance under the Director Plan. The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board administers the Director Plan. Under the Director Plan, each director of the Company who was a director at the time of adoption of the Director Plan and who was not a current or former employee of the Company received an option to purchase that number of shares of Class A Common Stock as equals 500 multiplied by the years of service of such director as of the date of the grant. At the first meeting of the Board of Directors subsequent to each annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director is granted under the Director Plan an option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company. The option exercise price is the fair market value of the shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. The options are non-transferable and become exercisable as follows: 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. 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. On February 18, 1997, the Company issued options to purchase 6,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under the Director Plan at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. On January 22, 1998, the Company issued options to purchase 6,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under the Director Plan at an exercise price of $2.06.

As of June 30, 1999, none of the options issued had been exercised. On November 17, 1997 the Board of Directors voted to amend the Director Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the plan from 30,000 shares to 50,000 shares. The Stockholders approved the amendment to the plan at the annual meeting on December 26, 1997.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Related Party Indebtedness For approximately the last ten years, Bruce A. Shear, a director and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and persons affiliated and associated with him have made a series of unsecured loans to the Company and its subsidiaries to enable them to meet ongoing financial commitments. The borrowings generally were entered into when the Company did not have financing available from outside sources and, in the opinion of the Company, were entered into at market rates given the financial condition of the Company and the risks of repayment at the time the loans were made. As of June 30, 1999, the Company owed an aggregate of $200,000 to related parties. During the period ended June 30, 1999, the Company paid Mr. Shear and affiliates approximately $157,600 in principal and accrued interest under various notes. As of June 30, 1999, the Company owed Bruce A. Shear $100,000 on a promissory note, which is dated August 13, 1998, bears interest at the rate of 12% per year and is payable on demand and Tot Care, Inc., an affiliate of Bruce A.
