NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANYS BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Comprehensive Care Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company,” “CompCare,” “we,” “us” or “our”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial information and do not include all information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in our most recent report on Form 10-K.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. (“CBC”) and Core Corporate Consulting Group, Inc. (“Core”), each with their respective subsidiaries. Through CBC, we provide managed care services in the behavioral health and psychiatric fields. We manage the delivery of a continuum of psychiatric and substance abuse services to commercial, Medicare, Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) members on behalf of employers, health plans, government organizations, third-party claims administrators, and commercial and other group purchasers of behavioral healthcare services. We also provide prior and concurrent authorization for physician-prescribed psychotropic medications for a major Medicaid health maintenance organization (“HMO”) in Michigan, and behavioral pharmaceutical management services for a Puerto Rico health plan. The managed care operations include administrative service agreements, fee-for-service agreements, and capitation contracts. The customer base for our services includes both private and governmental entities. Our services are provided primarily by unrelated vendors on a subcontract basis. Through Core we market a variety of health related products, insurance, and discount plans to targeted markets such as the uninsured, the underinsured, and underserved ethnic groups.

On January 20, 2009, CompCare acquired Core, a privately held company, in exchange for CompCare common and convertible preferred stock. As a result of the merger, the former Core shareholders as a collective group obtained voting control of CompCare. Consequently, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Core designated as the accounting acquirer and CompCare as the predecessor. The combined entity has elected to retain the Comprehensive Care Corporation name and status as a SEC registrant.

As a result of Core being treated as the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of the combined entity were restated to be those of Core. Therefore, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 presented herein includes only the accounts of Core at historical carrying amounts. In contrast, the unaudited, consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 is a combination of Core and Compcare accounts. The capital structure (common and preferred stock) of CompCare as the registrant was retained and the accumulated deficit of Core at the time of the merger was carried forward as the beginning retained deficit balance for the combined company.

For comparative purposes, the predecessor company’s financial activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 is provided in the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows presented herein. To facilitate comparison, the pre-acquisition results for CompCare for the period January 1 to January 20, 2009 are shown in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. Earnings per share for periods prior to the merger did not require restatement because CompCare common and convertible preferred stock (on an as-converted basis) were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Core common stock.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Our managed care activities are performed under the terms of agreements with health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, and other health plans or payers to provide contracted behavioral healthcare services to subscribing participants. Revenue under a substantial portion of these agreements is earned monthly based on the number of qualified participants regardless of services actually provided (generally referred to as capitation arrangements). The information regarding qualified participants is supplied by our clients and we review member eligibility records and other reported information to verify its accuracy to determine the amount of

revenue to be recognized. Such agreements accounted for 83.6%, or $2.8 million, and 97.4%, or $9.1 million, of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The remaining balance of our revenues is earned on a fee-for-service basis and is recognized as services are rendered.

Healthcare Expense Recognition

Healthcare operating expense is recognized in the period in which an eligible member actually receives services and includes an estimate of the cost of behavioral health services that have been incurred but not yet reported. See “Accrued Claims Payable” for a discussion of claims incurred but not yet reported. We contract with various healthcare providers including hospitals, physician groups and other licensed behavioral healthcare professionals either on a discounted fee-for-service or a per-case basis. We determine that a member has received services when we receive a claim within the contracted timeframe with all required billing elements correctly completed by the service provider. We then determine whether the member is eligible to receive such services, the service provided is medically necessary and is covered by the benefit plan’s certificate of coverage, and the service is authorized by one of our employees. If all of these requirements are met, the claim is entered into our claims system for payment.

Unallocated Assets

Unallocated assets on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 represents the excess of the implied purchase price of CompCare over the net tangible assets acquired, less estimated amortization recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. We are in the process of obtaining fair market values for CompCare’s identifiable intangible assets, such as its customer contracts, NCQA accreditation and provider networks. Upon completion of our valuation analysis, we will record the identifiable intangible assets at the appropriate amounts and assign the remaining excess, if any, to goodwill. An estimate for amortization has been made based on an estimated value for amortizable intangible assets of $2.0 million.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired in purchase transactions. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is not amortized but is periodically evaluated for impairment to carrying amount, with decreases in carrying amount recognized immediately. We review goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events suggest impairment exists. The tests for impairment of goodwill require us to make estimates about fair value, which are based on discounted projected future cash flows and the quoted market price of our common stock.

Accrued Claims Payable

The accrued claims payable liability represents the estimated ultimate net amounts owed for all behavioral healthcare services provided through the respective balance sheet dates, including estimated amounts for claims incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) to the Company. The unpaid claims liability is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses and is continually reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any change in the estimated liability. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. However, actual claims incurred could differ from the estimated claims payable amount reported. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the unpaid claims liability is adequate.

Premium Deficiencies

We accrue losses under our contracts when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We perform this loss accrual analysis on a specific contract basis taking into consideration such factors as future contractual revenue, projected future healthcare and maintenance costs, and each contract’s specific terms related to future revenue increases as compared to expected increases in healthcare costs. The projected future healthcare and maintenance costs are estimated based on historical trends and our estimate of future cost increases.

Table of Contents

At any time prior to the end of a contract or contract renewal, if a contract is not meeting its financial goals, we generally have the ability to cancel the contract with 60 to 90 days’ written notice. Prior to cancellation, we will submit a request for a rate increase accompanied by supporting utilization data. Although our clients have historically been generally receptive to such requests, no assurance can be given that such requests will be fulfilled in the future in our favor. If a rate increase is not granted, we have the ability, in most cases, to terminate the contract and limit our risk to a short-term period.

On a quarterly basis, we perform a review of our portfolio of contracts for the purpose of identifying loss contracts (as defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide – Health Care Organizations) and developing a contract loss reserve, if applicable, for succeeding periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our review did not identify any contracts where it was probable that a loss had been incurred and for which a loss could reasonably be estimated.

Fair Value Measurements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had no assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Therefore, SFAS No. 157 did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” provides that companies may elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The election, called the “fair value option,” will enable some companies to reduce the variability in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. We chose not to measure at fair value our eligible financial assets and liabilities existing at March 31, 2009. Consequently, SFAS No. 159 has had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to net operating loss carryforwards and to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets or liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that included the enactment. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets unless their realization is considered more likely than not.

The purchase by Core of Hythiam’s ownership interest on January 20, 2009 resulted in a change in control of the Company. As a result, any losses incurred prior to January 20, 2009 are subject to a limitation, which approximates $361,000 per year. Any unused portion of such limitation can be carried forward to the following year. We may be subject to further limitation in the event that we issue or agree to issue substantial amounts of additional equity.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 requires that companies recognize in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Our adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Stock Ownership Plans

We grant stock options to our employees and non-employee directors (“grantees”) allowing grantees to purchase our common stock pursuant to shareholder-approved stock option plans. We currently have two active

incentive plans, the 1995 Incentive Plan and the 2002 Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), that provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, restricted preferred stock, and common stock grants to eligible employees and consultants. Grants issued under the Plans may qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code. Options for ISOs may be granted for terms of up to ten years. Vesting generally occurs after six months for one-half of the options and after 12 months for the remaining options. The exercise price for ISOs must equal or exceed the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The Plans also provide for the full vesting of all outstanding options under certain change of control events. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance is 1,000,000 under the 2002 Incentive Plan and 1,000,000 under the 1995 Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2009, under the 2002 Incentive Plan, there were 375,000 options available for grant and 585,000 options were outstanding and exercisable. Additionally, as of March 31, 2009, under the 1995 Incentive Plan, there were 182,500 options outstanding and exercisable. There are no further options available for grant under the 1995 Incentive Plan.

Under our Non-employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan, we are authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares pursuant to non-qualified stock options to our non-employee directors. Each non-qualified stock option is exercisable at a price equal to the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the common stock in the over-the-counter market for the most recent preceding day there was a sale of the stock prior to the grant date. Grants of options vest in accordance with vesting schedules established by our Board of Director’s Compensation and Stock Option Committee. Upon joining the Board, directors receive an initial grant of 25,000 options. Annually, directors are granted 15,000 options on the date of the Company’s annual meeting. As of March 31, 2009, under the directors’ plan, there were 676,668 shares available for option grants and 225,000 options outstanding, of which 125,000 options were exercisable.

We recognized approximately $91,000 of stock option expense due to the vesting of stock options as a result of the change in control of the Company resulting from the merger on January 20, 2009.

A total of 150,000 options were granted to employees and directors during the period January 1 to March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2009, unrecognized expense related to unvested stock options totals approximately $48,000, which we expect to recognize over 4.81 years.

The following table lists the assumptions utilized in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model. We use historical data and management judgment to estimate the expected term of the option. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our traded stock. We have not declared dividends in the past nor do we expect to do so in the near future and as such we assume no expected dividend. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with the same expected term as that of the option at the time of grant.

Warrants

We periodically issue warrants to purchase common and preferred stock for the services of consultants, employees and non-employee directors. On March 31, 2009, we issued warrants to purchase up to 190 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $50.00 per share, to members of the Board of Directors and certain members of management as an equity incentive to further align the interests of the directors and members of management with those of the Company’s stockholders. We recognized approximately $4.1 million of expense related to these warrants. Each warrant to purchase shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be exercised at any time between its issuance and March 31, 2012 at an exercise price of $25,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock. If after September 30, 2009, the market value of a share of Series D Preferred Stock exceeds the exercise price for a share of Series D Preferred Stock, then the holder may exercise the warrant by a cashless exercise and receive the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock representing the net value of the warrant and forfeiting the appropriate number of warrants. The market value of a share of Series D Preferred Stock is equal to the product of (a) the per share market price of the Company’s common stock multiplied by (b) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which a share of Series D Preferred Stock is then convertible.

The number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock for which a warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Series D Preferred Stock. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the warrants) of the Company, the holder has the right to require us to redeem the warrant in exchange for an amount equal to the value of the warrant determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Each holder of Series D Preferred Shares is entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting and to vote on any matters on which the Company’s common stock may be voted. Each Series D Preferred Share is entitled to the number of votes that the holder of 500,000 shares of common stock would be entitled to by virtue of holding such shares of common stock. Unless otherwise required by law, holders of Series D Preferred Shares will vote together with holders of common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

Each share of Series D Preferred Stock acquired through exercise of a warrant is convertible into 100,000 shares of common stock at any time. For the presentation below, warrants to purchase Series D Preferred Stock are stated in common shares, as if the warrant was exercised and the resulting Series D Preferred Stock was converted. The exercise price of the warrant has been similarly adjusted to an as converted common stock equivalent. A summary of activity from the period January 1 to March 31, 2009 is as follows:

We recognized approximately $1.6 million of tax benefits attributable to equity-based expense recorded for stock options and warrants during the period January 1 to March 31, 2009. This benefit was fully offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount due to the likelihood of future realization.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate that value.

For cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and the note receivable, the carrying amount approximates fair value. Our financial assets and liabilities other than cash are not traded in an open market and therefore require us to estimate their fair value. Pursuant to the disclosure requirements prescribed by FAS 107, we use a present value technique, which is a type of income approach, to measure the fair value of these financial instruments. The rate used for discounting expected cash flows is a risk-free rate adjusted for systematic and unsystematic risk.

The carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash and cash equivalents increased by $508,000. Net cash used in operations totaled $1.2 million, attributable primarily to the payment of claims on our expired Indiana and Maryland contracts which experienced high utilization of services during the contract terms. Cash used in investing activities is comprised of $978,000 for the acquisition of CompCare by Core (purchase price of $1,500,000 less cash on hand at CompCare at time of acquisition of $522,000) and $6,000 in additions to property and equipment. This was offset by $4,000 in proceeds from payments received on notes receivable. Cash provided by financing activities consists primarily of $2.7 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, offset by the repayment of debt of $14,000. At March 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1.0 million.

At-risk revenues include contracts under which we assume the financial risk for the costs of member behavioral healthcare services in exchange for a fixed, per member per month fee. For administrative services only contracts, we may manage behavioral healthcare programs or perform various managed care functions, such as clinical care management, provider network development, and claims processing without assuming financial risk for member behavioral healthcare costs. Under Pharmacy contracts, we manage behavioral pharmaceutical services for the members of health plans on an at-risk or ASO basis. Other revenues represent commissions earned through the sale of durable goods.

NOTE 5 – MAJOR CUSTOMERS/CONTRACTS

(1) We currently furnish behavioral healthcare services to approximately 207,000 members of a health plan providing Medicaid and Medicare benefits. Services are provided on an at-risk and administrative services only (“ASO”) basis. The contract accounted for 22.8% of our revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 and 8.6% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The health plan has been a customer since June of 2002. The initial contract was for a one-year period and has been automatically renewed on an annual basis. Termination by either party may occur with 90 days written notice to the other party.

(2) We currently contract with a HMO to provide behavioral healthcare services to approximately 182,000 Medicaid and Medicare members on an at-risk and ASO basis. Our contract with the HMO accounted for 26.8% of our operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 8.5% of our operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The initial contract was for a one-year term and has been automatically renewed on an annual basis. Termination by either party may occur with 90 days written notice to the other party. The HMO has been a customer since June 2003.

In general, our contracts with our customers are typically for initial one-year terms, with automatic annual extensions. Such contracts generally provide for cancellation by either party with 60 to 90 days written notice.

NOTE 6 – COMMON STOCK

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the following changes in our Common Stock balances occurred:

 

   

Core, the owner of 14,400 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that it had purchased from Hythiam, Inc., converted such preferred stock into 4,553,136 shares of common stock.

 

   

As part of the merger with Core on January 20, 2009, we issued 10,294,725 shares of our common stock to the holders of Core’s Class A common shares in a one-for-one exchange. Part of the Core Class A shares exchanged included 4,474,725 shares issued during January 2009 for net proceeds of approximately $1.1 million.

 

   

During February 2009, we completed three private placements of our common stock aggregating to 6,542,857 shares and generating a total of $1,650,000 in cash proceeds.

 

   

On February 27, 2009, Core cancelled the common stock certificate representing the 4,553,136 shares acquired from the earlier Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion. Core also cancelled an additional 1,739,130 common shares it had purchased from Hythiam at the time of acquiring the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

   

In March 2009, we issued 500,000 common shares to an employee pursuant to the requirements of an employment contract.

NOTE 7 – PREFERRED STOCK

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the following changes in our Preferred Stock issuances and balances occurred:

 

   

For the purpose of completing the merger with Core, we designated two new series of Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series B-1

Table of Contents
 

Preferred Stock and the Series B-2 Preferred Stock will automatically become convertible into their respective securities upon the satisfaction of the following conditions (the “Conversion Conditions”) (i) filing of an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000 shares and to increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock to 1,000,000 shares and (ii) filing a Certificate of Designation designating a series of Series C Convertible Preferred stock, par value $50.00 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”) of the Company having such rights, preferences and privileges as are set forth in an exhibit to such Certificate and (iii) authorizing the Company to issue a number of shares of such class equal to the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock into which the Series B-1 Preferred Shares will be converted upon the satisfaction of the Conversion Conditions.

Subject to the Conversion Conditions, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be initially converted into an aggregate of 14,400 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The initial per share conversion rate shall be one share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock for 8.597015 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into Common Stock at the rate of approximately 316.28 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, which conversion rate will be adjusted for certain dilutive issuances of Common Stock.

Subject to the Conversion Conditions, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock will be initially converted into an aggregate of 7,246,871 shares of Common Stock. The initial per share conversion rate shall be one share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock for 2,719.273546 shares of Common Stock, subject to any adjustments. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock will be made through a private placement exemption not involving a public offering under Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act and will be exempt from registration obligations under Section 5 of the Securities Act.

In addition to the conversion rights described above, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock have other rights and preferences, including the following:

 

   

to designate representatives to appoint a majority of our Board of Directors;

 

   

to prevent the creation and issuance of capital stock with rights equal or superior to those of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock;

 

   

prior consent for a sale or merger including a material portion of our assets or business; and

 

   

prior consent before entering into any single or series of related transactions exceeding $5,000,000 or incurring any debt in excess of $5,000,000.

Upon the filing of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of Comprehensive Care Corporation, a copy of which is set forth in Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 23, 2009, the rights and preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock will include, among other things, the following:

Liquidation Preferences. With respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or the change of control of the Company, the Series C Preferred Stock will rank senior to all other designated series of the Company’s preferred stock. Upon any such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or the change of control, each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount equal to $250.00 per share.

Dividends. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Holders”) are entitled to receive a dividend when and if a dividend is declared by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to the Common Stock in a per share amount equal to the dividend declared with respect to the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Series C Preferred Stock is then converted.

Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Series C Holders are entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting, to vote on any matters on which the Common Stock may be voted and to vote together with the Common Stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the

 

-15-


Table of Contents

number of shares of Common Stock into which the share of Series C Preferred Stock is then convertible. In addition to the general voting rights, the Series C Holders, voting as a separate class will initially be entitled to elect five directors of the company. If, at any time after the issuance of the original issuance of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock the number of shares of then-outstanding Series C Preferred Stock falls below 50% of the number of shares originally issued, then the Series C Holders will be entitled to elect the number of directors of the Company set forth in the table below.

So long as at least a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock originally issued by the Company are outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, take certain actions, including the following:

 

   

create, authorize or issue any shares of any security or class of stock ranking senior to, or pari passu with, the Series C Preferred shares;

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation was withdrawn and all previously designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock were returned to their status as authorized Preferred Stock available for issuance.

 

   

A Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the Company’s state of incorporation. The Certificate of Designation provides for the issuance of 7,000 shares of Series D stock, $50.00 par value, none of which had been issued as of March 31, 2009. Shares of Series D Preferred Stock may only be acquired by the exercise of warrants, 190 of which were issued March 31, 2009 to the members of our board of directors. Each warrant to purchase shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be exercised at any time between the warrants’ issuance and March 31, 2012 at an exercise price of $25,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock acquired through exercise of a warrant is convertible into 100,000 shares of common stock at any time.

Each holder of Series D Preferred Shares is entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting and to vote on any matters on which the Company’s common stock may be voted. Each Series D Preferred Share is entitled to the number of votes that the holder of 500,000 shares of common stock would be entitled to by virtue of holding such shares of common stock. Unless otherwise required by law, holders of Series D Preferred Shares will vote together with holders of common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

If any dividend is declared with respect to the common stock of the Company, then holders of Series D Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive a dividend with respect to each Series D Preferred Share in an amount equal to (a) 50% of the amount of the dividend declared with respect to each share of common stock, multiplied by (b) the number of common stock shares into which such Series D Preferred Share is entitled to convert. Any dividends declared with respect to Series D Preferred Shares will be subordinate and junior to any dividends declared with respect to any other designated series of Preferred Stock then outstanding unless the certificate of designation of such series of Preferred Stock expressly states that any dividend thereon shall be subordinate and junior to any dividend declared with respect to the Series D Preferred Shares.

With respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or the change of control of the Company, after payment of all amounts owing to holders of shares of any other capital stock of the Company ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Shares as to payment of dividends, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Shares by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $50.00 per Series D Preferred Share.

We are authorized to issue 18,740 shares of Preferred Stock, $50.00 par value, in one or more series, each series to have such designation and number of shares as the Board of Directors may fix prior to the issuance of any shares of such series. As of March 31, 2009, 4,340 shares were issued. Each series may have such preferences and relative participation, optional or special rights with such qualifications, limitations or restrictions stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any such series.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

(1) Related to our discontinued hospital operations, Medicare guidelines allow the Medicare fiscal intermediary to re-open previously filed cost reports. Our fiscal 1999 cost report, the final year we were required to file a cost report, is being reviewed, in which case the intermediary may determine that additional amounts are due to or from Medicare. Management believes cost reports for fiscal years prior to fiscal 1999 are closed and considered final.

 

(2) In April 2009 a complaint entitled “MDwise, Inc. vs. Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc.” was filed against the Company in the Marion County Superior Court in Indiana by our former Indiana client seeking unspecified damages and a declaratory judgment requiring the Company to pay outstanding provider claims that are allegedly the Company’s responsibility under the expired contract. On May 8, 2009 the Company filed a motion to move the case to federal court. At the time of filing this report on Form 10-Q, the Company was preparing a counterclaim and intends to vigorously defend the claims alleged by MDwise. Until the actions are withdrawn or settled, the Company may incur further legal defense fees and may be subject to awards of plaintiff’s attorney fees or other fees, the amounts of which are not estimable. See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” for a description of this matter.

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March 2009, we executed new employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer, our new Chief Financial Officer, and our Chief Accounting Officer. The agreements are for terms of three years and contain provisions that include salary deferral, signing bonuses, and incentive compensation, among other items. Each contract also stipulates payments due each employee upon termination due to a change in control. At March 31, 2009, approximately $49,000 of compensation payments have been deferred to our Chief Executive Officer and $17,000 to our Chief Financial Officer. For further information concerning these agreements, see Exhibits 10.21, 10.22, and 10.23 to our Form 10-K dated December 31, 2008 and filed March 27, 2009 with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

In addition to historical information, the following information contains forward-looking statements as defined under federal securities laws. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the projected successful integration of the operations of Core Corporate Consulting Group, Inc. (“Core”) into CompCare’s business, the continuing success that Core is expected to have in marketing its products, the potential represented by ethnic markets and the overall performance of the healthcare market, our anticipated operating results, financial resources, increases in revenues, increased profitability, interest expense, growth and expansion, and the ability to obtain new behavioral healthcare contracts. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in local, regional, and national economic and political conditions, the effect of governmental regulation, competitive market conditions, varying trends in member utilization, our ability to manage healthcare operating expenses, our ability to achieve expected results from new business, the profitability of our at-risk contracts, cost of care, seasonality, our ability to obtain additional financing, and other risks detailed herein and from time to time in our SEC reports. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of CompCare appearing elsewhere herein.

OVERVIEW

GENERAL

Comprehensive Care Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company,” “CompCare,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation organized in 1969 that provides health care services and products through its primary operating subsidiaries, Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. (“CBC”) and Core Corporate Consulting Group, Inc. (“Core”).

CBC and its subsidiaries

Primarily through CBC and its subsidiaries, we provide managed care services in the behavioral health and psychiatric fields. Recent federal and state legislation provides a new focus for CBC in specialty behavioral health care areas such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (“ASD”) and Attention Deficit Disorder (“ADD”). Additionally, CBC provides analytic services for its health plan customers to integrate medical claims data and pharmacy data into actionable information so patient care can be coordinated cost effectively. We coordinate and manage the delivery of a continuum of psychiatric and substance abuse services and products to:

 

   

Commercial members

 

   

Medicare members

 

   

Medicaid members

 

   

Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) members

on behalf of:

 

-19-


Table of Contents
   

health plans

 

   

government organizations

 

   

third-party claims administrators

 

   

commercial purchasers

 

   

other group purchasers of behavioral healthcare services

Our customer base includes both private and governmental entities. We provide services primarily by a contracted network of providers that includes:

 

   

psychiatrists

 

   

psychologists

 

   

therapists

 

   

other licensed healthcare professionals

 

   

psychiatric hospitals

 

   

general medical facilities with psychiatric beds

 

   

residential treatment centers

 

   

other treatment facilities

The services provided through our provider network include outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy), intermediate care programs (such as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services), and inpatient and crises intervention services. We do not directly provide treatment or own any provider of treatment services.

We typically enter into contracts on an annual basis to provide managed behavioral healthcare and substance abuse treatment to our clients’ members. Our arrangements with our clients fall into two broad categories:

• at-risk, capitation arrangements where our clients pay us a fixed fee per member in exchange for our assumption of the financial risk of providing services, and

• fee-for-service and capitated administrative services only (“ASO”) arrangements where we may manage behavioral healthcare programs or perform various managed care services.

Under capitation arrangements, the number of covered members as reported to us by our clients determines the amount of premiums we receive, which is independent of the cost of services rendered to members. The amount of premiums we receive for each member is fixed at the beginning of the contract term. These premiums may be subsequently adjusted, up or down, generally at the commencement of each renewal period.

Over the last several years we have experienced a trend with our clients to contract for services more on a at-risk basis than on an ASO basis. However, during 2008 the Company placed more focus on Administrative Services Only (“ASO”) contracts to obtain a better balance of risk and non-risk clients.

Our largest expense is the cost of behavioral health services that we provide, which is based primarily on our arrangements with healthcare providers. Since we are subject to increases in healthcare operating expenses based on an increase in the number and frequency of our members seeking behavioral care services, our profitability depends on our ability to predict and effectively manage healthcare operating expenses in relation to the fixed premiums we receive under capitation arrangements. Providing services on a capitation basis exposes us to the risk that our contracts may ultimately be unprofitable if we are unable to anticipate or control healthcare costs. Estimation of healthcare operating expense is our most significant critical accounting estimate. See “Management’s Discussion and Analyses of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Estimates.”

CBC Has Completed its Restructuring

In January 2008, CompCare appointed John Hill as its new Chief Executive Officer and President and charged him with the responsibility of restructuring CBC’s poor financial performance. Following a review of operations and all sales contracts, Mr. Hill formed a strategic plan and immediately began implementation.

The plan identified changes to CBC’s operations to better streamline it processes. CBC began to re-organize its operations in Q2 of 2008 and completed this restructuring in Q4 of 2008. As a result of the restructuring of CBC and the expiration of unprofitable contracts that were not renewed, CBC was able to reduce its costs. As a result, CBC posted a gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to a loss in the corresponding quarter of 2008.

Core and its Subsidiary

Core provides consumer marketing services nationwide. Core was incorporated in Delaware on September 8, 2008. Core’s management and investors recognized a need in the insurance market for products for segments of the population with underserved healthcare needs. While some sectors of the United State’s population are aware of and receive Medicaid and/or Medicare, that coverage in and of itself is insufficient to service the needs of the populations identified above and may not be accessed by many individuals in those sectors by reason of lack of knowledge.

In addition, Core’s management also believes that there is a lack of medical records for the underserved segments of the country’s population, with most patients’ medical records being kept only at their physician’s or hospital’s offices. Simply put, in the event of emergency and/or sudden displacement of individuals (such as occurs during catastrophic events such as hurricanes), the medical records of these individuals are very difficult to access, which could lead to misdiagnosis, mistreatment or other negative consequences.

Core was formed with the purpose of establishing distribution channels sufficient to reach the majority of those underserved populations described above, which channels can be established both privately and through government facilities. In addition, distribution methods can be economically provided so that the general financial impact on our society is minimized with the net result being that a substantially greater number of the members of our society can receive medical treatment at a price affordable to all.

In November 2008, Core acquired Direct Ventures International, Inc. (“DVI”). DVI brings expertise in the sourcing of various items, including durable medical equipment and the distribution of this type of equipment. As a result of DVI, Core has contracted with various inbound and outbound telemarketing facilities having licensed, insurance telemarketers operating throughout the U.S. and abroad to market Core’s products. An inbound telemarketing company receives calls from potential customers to purchase products in response to a marketing program communicated through advertising efforts on the Internet, in print media, in television programming, or radio broadcasts, etc. An outbound telemarketing facility will initiate calls to potential customers to introduce a company, product or service, but must comply with Do Not Call legislation required by each State.

Core’s products include:

Core markets it products under the CoreSelect brand name.

Core Select products include:

Ø LifeGuide247 -

This is a 24-hour service that provides guidance through life’s difficult situations, such as job stress, financial troubles, relationships, grievance and simply legal matters. Service is available online or by telephone.

 

Ø Emergency Vital Records -

This product provides access to members’ vital medical records to emergency responders in the case of an emergency. Paramedics and emergency room practitioners can now access a member’s medical record quickly and easily in cases where the member may not be able to provide key information at such a critical time. The product provides the 25 key questions patients need to provide an emergency room. We have immediate interest in this product.

 

Ø Home Warranty Program -

This is a home warranty program and is available in three different coverage levels. It provides repair and protection for home appliances, electrical, plumbing, lock repair, etc.

 

Ø Hyperlink Agency-

This is a product that will allow an individual to become a licensed insurance agent. Our product is an “agent in a box” concept that guides you through the entire process of getting licensed to sell insurance products. After the person is successfully licensed we will provide them insurance and other products that they can sell. This via a joint venture with Hyperlink. The agents will simply identify the leads and direct them to a toll free number where the product can be purchased by phone. All of the sales will be completed by Hyperlink in their licensed call center environment. Additional products will be made available to these agents that do not require a license. These will initially include; LifeGuide247, Home Warranty’s, Identity theft packages, EVR and Pharmacy programs. Plus if the affiliate is not licensed to sell insurance, they can still sell insurance products and earn money as well.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

We expect to mail in May 2009 an Information Statement to stockholders of record January 9, 2009 notifying shareholders of an action taken by written consent by the holders of 58.2% of our outstanding voting capital stock to amend the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 30,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares and to increase the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock from 60,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares.

In February 2009, CompCare obtained additional equity financing in the amount of $1.6 million through the sale of 6.4 million shares of its unregistered common stock to two investors. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for working capital purposes and to accelerate sales and marketing efforts to acquire new business. For further information, see our Form 8-K dated February 25, 2009 and filed March 3, 2009, available at www.sec.gov.

MERGER WITH CORE

On February 26, 2009, Giuseppe (Joe) Crisafi was appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and as a Board of Directors member. On February 25, 2009, Robert J. Landis resigned from the Board and was appointed as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer.

Pursuant to a resolution approved at a meeting of our Board of Directors held on February 26, 2009, we authorized our transfer agent to cancel 6,292,266 common shares held by our wholly owned subsidiary, Core.

On January 21, 2009, we appointed the following persons as directors of the Company: Arnold B. Finestone, Sharon Kay Ray, Joshua I. Smith, and Arthur K. Yeap. On the same day, Mr. Finestone was appointed Chairman of the Board, Mr. Smith was named Vice Chairman of the Board, and the Audit and Compensation & Stock Option Committees were reconstituted. The Audit Committee is now comprised of Mr. Finestone (Chairman), Mr. Smith and Mr. Yeap, and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee is comprised of Ms. Ray, Mr. Finestone, and Mr. Yeap (Chairman).

On January 20, 2009, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) with Core, a privately held Delaware corporation. The Merger was accomplished by merging our wholly owned subsidiary, CompCare Acquisition, Inc., with and into Core, with Core continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of CompCare. All 10,294,725 outstanding shares of Core’s Class A Common Stock were exchanged for 10,294,725 shares of CompCare common stock. Each outstanding share of Core’s Class B Common Stock was exchanged for newly designated CompCare Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, which in aggregate are convertible into the equivalent of 11,801,250 common shares. As a result of the Merger, the former Core stockholders became the holders of 77% of the voting power of the Company.

On January 20, 2009, Woodcliff Healthcare Investment Partners LLC (“Woodcliff”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hythiam, Inc. and our then largest stockholder, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Core and Hythiam, pursuant to which Core purchased all 14,400 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and all 1,739,130 shares of common stock of the Company owned by Woodcliff. The Series A Preferred Stock purchased by Core represented 100% of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Prior to the Merger, Core converted all of its Series A Preferred Stock into 4,553,136 shares of common stock of the Company.

In connection with the closing of the Merger and not as the result of any disagreement with the Company, Michael Bakst, Ph.D. and Vijay Chevli resigned as directors of the Company on January 20, 2009. Mr. Chevli was the Chair of the Audit Committee and Special Committee of the Board.

In connection with Core’s anticipated purchase of the CompCare securities from Woodcliff and not as the result of any disagreement with the Company, Steven R. Peskin, M.D., Michel A. Sucher, M.D., and Michael Yuhas resigned as directors of the Company, effective January 16, 2009. Dr. Sucher was the Chair of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee and Dr. Peskin was the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Table of Contents

In January 2009, prior to the merger, Core raised additional capital of approximately $1.1 million through the sale of 4,474,725 of its Class A common shares to one investor. Such shares were exchanged for 4,474,725 shares of CompCare common stock as part of the merger on January 20, 2009. These proceeds, along with existing cash, were used to purchase the CompCare shares owned by Hythiam.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we reported an operating loss of $5.7 million and a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.22 loss per share (basic and diluted).

The following table summarizes the Company’s operating results from continuing operations combining Core and CompCare for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and for CompCare only for the three months ended March 31, 2008 , being the predecessor corporation (amounts in thousands):

Operating revenues from at-risk contracts decreased 70.5%, or $6.4 million, to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily attributable to the expiration of two major customer contracts accounting for $6.1 million of business. Revenue associated with ASO contracts increased 131.8%, or approximately $311,000, to $547,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, due primarily to the addition of a new ASO contract. Pharmacy revenue increased from $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $177,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to CBC’s new Puerto Rico contract that combines behavioral pharmaceutical management services with traditional behavioral managed care.

Claims expense on at-risk contracts decreased approximately $6.6 million or 80.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, due to the aforementioned expiration of two customer contracts. The decrease in claims expense as a percentage of at-risk revenues from

Table of Contents

89.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 59.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is attributable to the high medical loss ratios experienced from serving the members of these expired contracts. Other healthcare operating expenses, attributable to servicing both at-risk contracts and ASO contracts, decreased 35.2%, or approximately $559,000 due primarily to the reduction in the number of employees during the current quarter and the use of outside medical directors for patient reviews and case management. Pharmacy expense of $204,000 represents the cost of behavioral prescription drugs attributable to CBC’s new Puerto Rico contract. Overall, gross margin increased by $987,000 from a negative $406,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $581,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to the expiration of contracts with high utilization of behavioral services.

General and administrative expenses increased by 24.4%, or approximately $223,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is due to expenditures for increased sales and marketing efforts for Core and CompCare.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, there were $589,000 of merger related costs, consisting mainly of financial advisory fees and legal fees. Equity based expenses of $4.4 million is comprised of $4.2 million of expense recognized upon the issuance of the warrants to purchase Series D Convertible Preferred stock, $125,000 of expense related to the issuance of common stock to an employee pursuant to an employment agreement, and $91,000 of expense due to the early vesting of stock options as a result of the change in control.

Historically, we have experienced increased member utilization during the months of March, April and May, and consistently low utilization by members during the months of June, July, and August. Such variations in member utilization impact our costs of care during these months, generally having a negative impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the months of March through May and a positive impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the June through August.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, approximately 50%% of our operating revenue was concentrated in contracts with two health plans to provide behavioral healthcare services under Medicare and Medicaid plans. In addition, 65.0% of our operating revenue was attributable to health plan clients servicing Medicaid members in the state of Michigan. The term of each contract is generally for one year and is automatically renewable for additional one-year periods unless terminated by either party by giving the requisite written notice. The loss of one or more of these clients, unless replaced by new business, would negatively affect our financial condition.

We regularly maintain cash balances at our bank that exceed amounts covered by FDIC insurance. Should our bank cease operations, it would cause a significant disruption to our cash flow. We have recently opened new bank accounts at other banking institutions and have begun to spread our cash reserves in order to minimize any potential impact of a bank failure.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash and cash equivalents increased by $508,000. Net cash used in continuing operations totaled $1.2 million. Cash used in investing activities is comprised of $978,000 for the acquisition of CompCare by Core (purchase price of $1,500,000 less cash on hand at CompCare at time of acquisition of $522,000) and $6,000 in additions to property and equipment. This was offset by $4,000 in proceeds from payments received on notes receivable. Cash provided by financing activities consists primarily of $2.7 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, offset by the repayment of debt of $14,000.

At March 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1.0 million. Although we had a working capital deficit of $5.4 million at March 31, 2009, we expect positive net cash flow from our existing contracts, as well as the addition of new contracts and, as a result, management believes we will have sufficient cash reserves to sustain current operations over the next 12 months.

Our unpaid claims liability is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. Any significant increase in member utilization that falls outside of our estimations would increase healthcare operating expenses and may impact our ability to achieve and sustain profitability and positive cash flow. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, we believe that our unpaid claims liability is adequate. However, actual results could differ from the $4.6 million claims payable amount reported as of March 31, 2009.

In January 2009, the Company underwent a merger with Core, which had previously purchased a 49% interest in the Company to increase the Company’s pipeline for selling opportunities and create additional distribution channels for product offerings from which additional positive cash flow is expected. In February and March 2009, the Company raised additional capital of $1.7 million for working capital purposes and the payment of accrued claims payable. Together with new managed behavioral health care business in Michigan and Puerto Rico, management believes the Company will generate sufficient working capital to sustain current operations during the next twelve months. Although management believes that the Company’s current cash position and anticipated revenue in 2009 will be sufficient to meet its current levels of operations, additional cash resources may be required should the Company wish to accelerate sales or complete one or more acquisitions. Additional cash resources may be needed if the Company does not meet its sales targets, exceeds its projected operating costs or if unanticipated expenses arise or are incurred. The Company does not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution and has not made any other arrangements to obtain additional financing. We can provide no assurance that we will not require additional financing. Likewise, we can provide no assurance that if we need additional financing that it will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we may be unable to execute upon our business plan or pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments to develop the amounts reflected and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, most notably our estimate for claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”). On an on-going basis, we evaluate the appropriateness of our estimates and we maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of actual claims differing from our assumptions or conditions.

We believe our accounting policies specific to revenue recognition, accrued claims payable, premium deficiencies, goodwill, and equity based expense involve our most significant judgments and estimates that are material to our consolidated financial statements (see Note 1 – “Description of the Company’s Business and Basis of Presentation” to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements).

REVENUE RECOGNITION

We provide managed behavioral healthcare and substance abuse services to recipients, primarily through subcontracts with HMOs. Revenue under the vast majority of these agreements is earned and recognized monthly based on the number of covered members as reported to us by our clients regardless of whether services actually provided are lesser or greater than anticipated when we entered into such contracts (generally referred to as capitation arrangements). The information regarding the number of covered members is supplied by our clients and we review membership eligibility records and other reported information to verify its accuracy in calculating the amount of revenue to be recognized. Consequently, the vast majority of our revenue is determined by the monthly receipt of covered member information and the associated payment from the client, thereby removing uncertainty and precluding us from needing to make assumptions to estimate monthly revenue amounts.

We may experience adjustments to our revenues to reflect changes in the number and eligibility status of members subsequent to when revenue is recognized. Subsequent adjustments to our revenue have not been material to date.

ACCRUED CLAIMS PAYABLE AND CLAIMS EXPENSE

Claims expense includes amounts paid to hospitals, physician groups and other managed care organizations under at-risk contracts. Healthcare expenses include items such as information systems, case management and quality assurance, attributable to both at-risk and ASO contracts.

The cost of behavioral health services is recognized in the period in which an eligible member actually receives services and includes an estimate of IBNR. We contract with various healthcare providers including hospitals, physician groups and other managed care organizations either on a discounted fee-for-service or a per-case basis. We determine that a member has received services when we receive a claim within the contracted timeframe with all required billing elements correctly completed by the service provider. We then determine whether (1) the member is eligible to receive such services, (2) the service provided is medically necessary and is covered by the benefit plan’s certificate of coverage, and (3) the service has been authorized by one of our employees. If all of these requirements are met, the claim is entered into our claims system for payment and the associated cost of behavioral health services is recognized. If the claim is denied, the service provider is notified and has appeal rights under their contract with us.

Accrued claims payable consists primarily of reserves established for reported claims and IBNR claims, which are unpaid through the respective balance sheet dates. Our policy is to record management’s best estimate of IBNR. The IBNR liability is estimated monthly using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and is continually reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any change in the estimated liability as more information becomes available. In deriving an initial range of estimates, we use an industry accepted actuarial model that incorporates past claims payment experience, enrollment data and key assumptions such as trends in healthcare costs and seasonality. Authorization data, utilization statistics, calculated completion percentages and qualitative factors are then combined with the initial range to form the basis of management’s best estimate of the accrued claims payable balance.

At March 31, 2009, the range of accrued claims payable was between $4.5 million and $4.7 million. Based on the information available, we determined our best estimate of the accrued claims liability to be $4.6 million. We have used the same methodology and assumptions for estimating the IBNR portion of the accrued claims liability for each quarter-end.

Accrued claims payable at March 31, 2009 is comprised of approximately $1.7 million of submitted and approved claims, which had not yet been paid, and $2.9 million for IBNR claims.

Many aspects of our managed care business are not predictable with consistency, and therefore, estimating IBNR claims involves a significant amount of management judgment. Actual claims incurred could differ from the estimated claims payable amount presented. The following are factors that would have an impact on our future operations and financial condition:

 

   

Changes in utilization patterns

 

   

Changes in healthcare costs

 

   

Changes in claims submission timeframes by providers

 

   

Success in renegotiating contracts with healthcare providers

 

   

Occurrence of catastrophes

 

   

Changes in benefit plan design

 

   

The impact of present or future state and federal regulations

A 5% increase in assumed healthcare cost trends from those used in our calculations of IBNR at March 31, 2009, could increase our claims expense by approximately $36,000 and reduce our net results per share by $0.002 per share as illustrated in the table below:

PREMIUM DEFICIENCIES

We accrue losses under our contracts when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We perform this loss accrual analysis on a specific contract basis taking into consideration such factors as future contractual revenue, projected future healthcare and maintenance costs, and each contract’s specific terms related to future revenue increases as compared to expected increases in healthcare costs. The projected future healthcare and maintenance costs are estimated based on historical trends and our estimate of future cost increases.

At any time prior to the end of a contract or contract renewal, if a contract is not meeting its financial goals, we generally have the ability to cancel the contract with 60 to 90 days written notice. Prior to cancellation, we will submit a request for a rate increase accompanied by supporting utilization data. Although our clients have historically been generally receptive to such requests, no assurance can be given that such requests will be fulfilled in the future in our favor. If a rate increase is not granted, we have the ability, in most cases, to terminate the contract and limit our risk to a short-term period.

On a quarterly basis, we perform a review of our portfolio of contracts for the purpose of identifying loss contracts (as defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide – Health Care Organizations) and developing a contract loss reserve, if applicable, for succeeding periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we did not identify any contracts where it was probable that a loss had been incurred and for which a loss could reasonably be estimated.

GOODWILL

We evaluate at least annually the amount of our recorded goodwill by performing impairment tests that compare the carrying amount to an estimated fair value. Management considers both the income and market approaches in the fair value determination. In estimating the fair value under the income approach, management makes its best assumptions regarding future cash flows and applies a discount rate to the cash flows to yield a present, fair value of equity. The market approach is based primarily on reference to transactions including the Company’s common stock and the quoted market prices of the Company’s common stock. As a result of such tests, management believes there is no material risk of loss from impairment of goodwill. However, actual results may differ significantly from management’s assumptions, resulting in a potentially adverse impact to our consolidated financial statements.

UNALLOCATED ASSETS

Unallocated assets on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 represents the excess of the implied purchase price of CompCare over the net tangible assets acquired, less estimated amortization recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. We are in the process of obtaining fair market values for CompCare’s identifiable intangible assets, such as its customer contracts, NCQA accreditation and provider network. Upon completion of our valuation analysis, we will record the identifiable intangible assets at the appropriate amounts and assign the remaining excess, if any, to goodwill. An estimate for amortization has been made based on estimated values for intangible assets.

EQUITY BASED EXPENSE

We have adopted SFAS 123R and elected to apply the modified-prospective method to measure expenses for stock options and warrants at fair value on the grant date and recognize these expenses on a straight-line basis over the service period for those options and warrants expected to vest. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires certain variables for input to calculate the fair value of a stock award on the grant date. These variables include the expected volatility of our stock price, award exercise behaviors, the risk free interest rate and expected dividends. We use significant judgment in estimating expected volatility of the stock, exercise behavior and forfeiture rates.

Expected Volatility

We estimate the volatility of the share price by using historical data of our traded stock in combination with management’s expectation of the extent of fluctuation in future stock prices. We believe our historical volatility is more representative of future stock price volatility and as such it has been given greater weight in estimating future volatility.

Expected Term

A variety of factors are considered in determining the expected term of options granted. Options granted are grouped by their homogeneity, based on the optionees’ position, whether managerial or clerical, and length of service and turnover rate. Where possible, we analyze exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. For any group without sufficient information, we estimate the expected term of the options granted by averaging the vesting term and the contractual term of the options.

Expected Forfeiture Rate

We generally separate our option awards into two groups: employee and non-employee awards. The historical data of each group are analyzed independently to estimate the forfeiture rate of options at the time of grant. These estimates are revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimated forfeitures.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Aside from the litigation described in Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” as of the date of this report, we are not currently involved in any legal proceeding that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

While we currently have market risk sensitive instruments, we have no significant exposure to changing interest rates, as the interest rate on our long-term debt is fixed. Additionally, we do not use derivative financial instruments for investment or trading purposes and our investments are generally limited to cash deposits.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this report that have affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are subject to periodic lawsuits and claims. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits and claims asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Our policy is to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to legal matters, as well as ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the liability required, if any, for these contingencies is made after an analysis of each known issue in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and related pronouncements. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, a liability is recorded and charged to operating expense when we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, we disclose contingencies for which a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable. Except as described below, as of March 31, 2009, there were no material contingencies requiring accrual or disclosure.

On April 16, 2009 we were served with a complaint entitled “MDwise, Inc. vs Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc.” filed in Marion County Superior Court in Indiana by our former major Indiana client seeking unspecified damages and a declaratory judgment requiring the Company to pay outstanding provider claims that are allegedly the Company’s responsibility under the expired contract with our former client. On May 8, 2009 the Company filed a motion to move the case to federal court. At the time of filing this report on Form 10-Q, the Company was preparing a counterclaim and intends to vigorously defend the claims alleged by MDwise.

In the opinion of management, the Company has reserves that are adequate to cover this litigation. Management believes that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations; however there can be no assurance that we will not sustain material liability as a result of this claim.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 have not materially changed.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the month of February 2009, we completed the following sales of our common stock, $0.01 par value, in private placements not involving a public offering:

 

   

On February 6, 2009, we sold 142,857 shares of our common stock, for gross proceeds of $50,000 to one accredited investor. The net proceeds to the Company from this sale were $45,000.

 

   

On February 24, 2009, we completed the sale of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 and net proceeds of $1,400,000, for which a Current Report on Form 8-K was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2009.

 

   

On February 26, 2009, we completed the sale of 400,000 shares of our common stock for gross and net proceeds of $100,000, for which a Current Report on Form 8-K was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2009.

Based on certain representations and warranties of the purchasers in their respective Subscription Agreements, we relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The shares purchased have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. We intend to use the net proceeds for product and sales expansion and working capital purposes.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On January 14, 2009, the holders of 58.2% of our outstanding voting capital stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis and the holders of all outstanding shares of CompCare’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $50.00 per share, voting as a separate class, took action by written consent, dated January 14, 2009, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders, to ratify and approve amendments to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to:

 

   

increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, from 30,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares, and to

 

   

increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $50.00 par value per share, from 60,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares.

All stockholders will be notified of the proposed amendment by an information statement on Schedule 14C expected to be mailed in May.

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K, ITEM 3.02—UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On May 13, 2009, the Company issued a stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 100 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $50.00 per share, to each of Mr. Clark Marcus and Dr. Jerry Katzman as an equity incentive to align the interests of the each newly appointed officer of the Company with those of the Company’s stockholders.

Each warrant to purchase shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be exercised at any time between its issuance and May 13, 2012, but not before the Company has effected an increase in its authorized capital, at an exercise price of $25,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock, provided that neither warrant will be exercisable until the Restated Certificate has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. If after September 30, 2009, the Market Value of a share of Series D Preferred Stock exceeds the exercise price for a share of Series D Preferred Stock, then the holder may exercise the warrant by a cashless exercise and receive the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock representing the net value of the warrant. The Market Value of a share of Series D Preferred Stock is equal to the product of (a) the per share market price of the Company’s common stock multiplied by (b) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which a share of Series D Preferred Stock is then convertible.

The number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock for which a warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Series D Preferred Stock. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the warrants) of the Company, the holder has the right to require the Company to redeem the warrant in exchange for an amount equal to the value of the warrant determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the warrants is not purported to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the form of warrant, which is filed as Exhibit 10.26 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

In issuing the warrants, the Company is relying on an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), which exemption the Company believes is available because the securities were not offered pursuant to a general solicitation and the status of the purchasers of the shares as “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. This report is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, securities. Neither the warrants nor the shares of Series of Series D Preferred Stock issuable upon their exercise have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
