CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: Certain information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other reports, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, statements, and presentations is forward looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, our anticipated operating results, financial resources, increases in revenues, increased profitability, interest expense, predictions of anticipated health care costs, growth and expansion, and the ability to obtain new behavioral healthcare contracts. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect actual results and cause them to differ materially from expectations expressed herein and in our other reports, SEC filings, statements, and presentations. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, 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, the profitability of our capitated contracts, cost of care, seasonality, CompCares ability to obtain additional financing, our ability to renegotiate or extend expiring customer contracts, the risk that any definitive agreements or additional business will result from letters of intent entered into by us, and other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC reports.
OVERVIEW
GENERAL
Established in 1969, Comprehensive Care Corporation, a Tampa-based Delaware corporation (CompCare, we or the Company), provides managed care services in the behavioral health, substance abuse, and psychotropic pharmacy management fields. We provide these services to commercial, Medicare, Medicaid and Childrens 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. Our managed care operations include administrative service agreements, fee-for-service agreements, and capitation contracts.
The Company prides itself on providing personalized attention, a commitment to high-quality services, and innovative approaches to behavioral health that address specific needs of clients in a changing healthcare environment. In 1999 we were awarded our first National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) accreditation, which we have consistently maintained ever since.
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 crisis intervention services. We have a network of over 30,000 contracted providers in the following areas: psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, other licensed healthcare professionals, psychiatric hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric beds, residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities.
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
CompCare markets to regional health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that do not have their own behavioral health network. These HMOs will contract with a managed behavioral healthcare organization (MBHO) to obtain access to behavioral healthcare professionals, claims processing, case management, better-integrated behavioral healthcare, and in some cases psychotropic pharmacy management services. The HMOs engage an MBHO on a fixed fee paid on a per-member-per-month (PMPM) basis. Often, the PMPM will include the costs of care, which are the costs paid out to the providers and for pharmaceuticals, if applicable. Such an arrangement is known as an at-risk contract and the MBHO bears the risk/reward of the costs associated with higher or lower utilization of care. If the PMPM excludes the cost of care, the MBHO is essentially providing administrative services only (ASO). In such a case, the MBHO is not at risk of over/under utilization.
Through our primary operating subsidiary, Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. (CBC) and its subsidiaries, we provide managed behavioral healthcare, substance abuse, and psychotropic pharmacy management services. Changes in federal and state legislation have provided a new focus for CBC in specialty behavioral healthcare areas such as Autism
3
Table of Contents
Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Additionally, CBC provides pharmacy and 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 our services and products to:
| commercial members; |
| Medicare members; |
| Medicaid members; and |
| CHIP members. |
on behalf of:
| health plans; |
| government organizations; |
| third-party claims administrators; |
| commercial purchasers; and |
| other group purchasers of behavioral healthcare services. |
Our customer base includes both private and governmental entities. We provide services primarily through a network of contracted providers that includes:
| psychiatrists; |
| psychologists; |
| therapists; |
| other licensed healthcare professionals; |
| psychiatric hospitals; |
| general medical facilities with psychiatric beds; |
| residential treatment centers; and |
| 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), inpatient programs and crisis intervention services. We do not directly provide treatment or own any provider of treatment services or treatment facility.
We typically enter into contracts on an annual basis to provide managed behavioral healthcare, substance abuse, and psychotropic pharmacy management services to our clients members. Our arrangements with our clients fall into two broad categories:
| at-risk arrangements where our clients pay us a fixed fee per member in exchange for our assumption of the financial risk of providing services; and |
| ASO arrangements where we manage behavioral healthcare programs or perform various managed care services, such as clinical care management, provider network development, and claims processing without assuming financial risk for member behavioral healthcare costs. |
Under at-risk 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 our contract term. These premiums under certain circumstances may be subsequently adjusted up or down, generally at the commencement of each renewal period.

* | Members with psychotropic pharmacy coverage are generally also covered by our behavioral health services that we provide on an at-risk basis. |
Over the past several years we have experienced a trend where our clients prefer to contract for services on an at-risk basis instead of on an ASO basis.
Our largest expense is the cost of the 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 an at-risk 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 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Estimates below.
We manage programs through which services are provided to recipients in nine states and Puerto Rico. Our objective is to provide easily accessible, high quality behavioral healthcare services and products and to manage costs through measures such as the monitoring of hospital inpatient admissions and the review of authorizations for various types of outpatient therapy. Our goal is to combine access to quality behavioral healthcare services with effective management controls in order to ensure the most cost-effective use of healthcare resources.
Our programs and services include:
| fully integrated behavioral healthcare and psychotropic pharmacy management services; |
| analytic services for medical and pharmacy claims for medical integration of behavioral and medical care coordination; |
| specialty programs for care coordination of ASD, ADD, and psychotropic drugs with analytic services for all claims data; |
| case management/utilization review services; |
| administrative services management; |
| preferred provider network development; |
| management and physician advisor reviews; and |
| overall care management services. |
We also manage physician-prescribed psychotropic medications for two Medicare health plans in Puerto Rico. Members are generally given a prescription from their primary care physician or psychiatrist. We are at-risk for the psychotropic drug costs and manage that appropriate medications are being utilized by the prescribing physician.

SOURCES OF REVENUE
The majority of our revenue is earned from at-risk contracts pursuant to which we provide managed behavioral healthcare, substance abuse, and psychotropic pharmacy management services to recipients, primarily through subcontracts with HMOs, which have historically outsourced these functions to managed behavioral healthcare organizations like us. In exchange for arranging behavioral health and substance abuse services, we generally receive a negotiated amount on a per-member per-month, or capitated, basis in exchange for providing these services. We then contract directly with behavioral healthcare providers that receive a predetermined, discounted fee-for-service rate, per case rate, or per diem rate.
We also cover psychotropic pharmacy management services, where we receive an additional per-member per-month amount. We manage psychotropic pharmacy services through the collection and analysis of pharmacy claims data which is provided by the health plans pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), whose primary functions are claims adjudication and drug cost negotiation. Through data analysis and usage evaluation against clinically sound, evidence-based criteria, we are able to identify ineffective, inappropriate and costly drug utilization. Our approach is to address these issues in a collaborative manner with the primary care physicians and psychiatrists through the provision of useful information based on our analysis. Our goal is to produce positive outcomes for patients while controlling pharmacy costs.
Under at-risk behavioral contracts, our profit is a function of utilization and the amount of claims payments made to our network providers. Under at-risk pharmacy contracts, the profitability depends on how effectively we manage our members utilization of the pharmaceutical drug benefit. We perform periodic reviews of our current client contracts to determine profitability. In the event a contract is not profitable, we may seek to revise the terms of the contract or to terminate the agreement in accordance with its terms.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we provided services under at-risk arrangements for Medicare and commercial patients in Louisiana, Medicaid patients in Michigan, Medicaid and CHIP patients in Missouri and Texas, Medicare patients in Puerto Rico and commercial patients in Wisconsin. Such services generated approximately 94% of our managed care operating revenue.
Our Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP contracts are subject to agreements with our HMO clients whose contracts with the various governmental agencies may be subject to renegotiation at the election of the specific agency.
Over 75% of our operating revenue is currently concentrated in contracts with four health plans to provide behavioral healthcare and psychotropic pharmacy management services under Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP plans. The terms of each contract are generally for one or two-year periods and are automatically renewable for additional one-year periods unless terminated by either party. The loss of one or more of these clients, without replacement by new business, may adversely impact our financial results.

GROWTH STRATEGY
CBC is a leader in the MBHO field with many years of experience serving health plans with unique and innovative programs addressing behavioral wellbeing, ASD, ADD and pharmacy management. The continued consolidation of the behavioral health care market through the acquisition of MBHOs by health plans offers CBC opportunities and we have become one of the few MBHOs that are not owned by a health plan and thus remain independent.
Our objective is to expand our presence in both existing and new managed behavioral healthcare markets by enhancing our product offerings, adjusting our client portfolio to better balance our at-risk-to-ASO ratio and identifying new business development partners. We have identified portions of our market to focus on health plans known as safety net plans, which serve populations that we believe need many of the services that we provide. We have expanded our specialty management products to include ASD, ADD, and pharmacy management for psychotropic medications. We provide data analytic services for health plan claims and pharmacy data to effectively integrate plan data so that actionable information can be utilized to address patient care.
We provide our core product, outsourced behavioral healthcare management, to health plans, government entities, and other entities. We focus on continually developing and providing innovative and cost effective solutions to our customers. We expect the demand for our services to increase in the future in response to governmental legislative changes such as the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which should increase the demand for our services through the expansion of the number of people covered by health insurance. We also believe the continuing shift in demographics of the U.S. population towards an older population will increase the number of Medicare beneficiaries such that Medicare expenditures are anticipated to increase from an expected $509 billion in 2010 to $929 billion in 2020. Enrollment in Medicare Advantage Plans, which comprise approximately 27% of our covered lives as of December 31, 2010, is also expected to increase with these plans anticipated to reach a coverage level of 25% of all Medicare beneficiaries in the near future. Finally, 23 states have passed legislation requiring insurers to provide coverage of the case management of ASD. Mental health expertise continues to be critical to successful management of healthcare costs, and of particular importance to managing the care of populations with specific needs and we believe we are well positioned for the growth in this sector of the market.
PROVIDER NETWORK
As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 30,000 behavioral healthcare practitioners in our network located in 42 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Our managed behavioral healthcare services are provided by contracted providers, including behavioral healthcare professionals and facilities. Our behavioral healthcare professionals include a variety of specialized behavioral healthcare personnel, such as:
| psychiatrists; |
| psychologists; |
| therapists; |
| licensed clinical social workers; |
| substance abuse counselors; and |
| other licensed healthcare professionals. |
The facilities we provide our services to include:
| psychiatric hospitals; |
| general medical facilities with psychiatric beds; |
| residential treatment facilities; and |
| other treatment facilities. |
Outpatient providers include both individual practitioners, as well as individuals who are members of group practices or other licensed centers or programs. Outpatient providers typically enter into contracts with us under which they are generally paid on a discounted fee-for-service basis.

Table of Contents
Our provider network also includes contractual arrangements with intensive outpatient facilities, partial hospitalization facilities, community health centers, and other community-based facilities. Our contracts with facilities are on a per diem or discounted fee-for-service basis and, in some cases, on a case rate basis, whereby a fixed amount is paid irrespective of the amount of services provided. To help ensure quality of care, we credential and re-credential all professional providers with whom we contract in accordance with standards of the National Committee of Quality Assurance (NCQA).
COMPETITION
The behavioral healthcare industry is very competitive and provides products and services that are price sensitive. Competitors include both freestanding MBHOs as well as HMOs and insurers with internal behavioral health units or subsidiaries. Many of these competitors have revenues, financial resources, and membership bases that are substantially larger than ours. The extent of competition results in significant pricing pressures which limits our revenue growth. Accordingly, we expect our future growth to come from our expansion into new states and the sale of our ancillary products to our existing and new customers.
HEALTH CARE REFORM
In March 2010 President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the 2010 Acts). We believe these laws will bring about significant changes to the American health care system and will expand the number of United States citizens covered by health insurance. Because final rules and guidance in key aspects of the legislation have not yet been promulgated by the government, the full impact of the 2010 Acts is still unknown.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
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 positive impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the June through August period and a negative impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the months of March through May.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
At January 1, 2011, we managed approximately one million lives in connection with behavioral, substance abuse, and psychotropic pharmacy management services covered through Medicare programs in Connecticut, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico, CHIP programs in Pennsylvania, Medicaid and CHIP programs in Missouri, Medicare and Medicaid programs in California, Florida, and Michigan, and Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP programs in Texas.
We are subject to extensive and evolving state and federal regulations relating to the nations mental health system, as well as changes in Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement that could have an effect on our profitability. These regulations range from licensure and compliance with regulations related to insurance companies and other risk-assuming entities, to licensure and compliance with regulations related to healthcare providers. These laws and regulations may vary considerably between states. As a result, we may be subject to the specific regulatory approach adopted by each state for regulation of managed care companies and for providers of behavioral healthcare treatment services. We hold licenses or certificates to perform utilization review and/or third party administrator (TPA) services in:
| California; |
| Connecticut; |
| Florida; |
| Georgia; |
| Illinois; |
| Indiana |
| Louisiana |
| Maryland; |
| Michigan; |
| Missouri; |
8
Table of Contents
| Pennsylvania; and |
| Texas. |
Some of the services provided by our managed behavioral healthcare subsidiaries may be subject to such licensing requirements in other states. There can be no assurance that additional utilization review or TPA licenses will not be required or, if required, that we will qualify to obtain or renew such licenses. In some of the states in which we provide services, entities that assume risk under contract with licensed insurance companies or health plans that retain ultimate financial responsibility have not been considered by state regulators to be conducting an insurance or HMO business. As a result, we have not sought licensure as either an insurer or HMO in certain states. If the regulatory positions of these states change, our business could be materially affected until such time as we meet the regulatory requirements. We cannot quantify the potential effects of additional regulation of the managed care industry, but such costs may have an adverse effect on future operations to the extent that they are not able to be recouped in future managed care contracts.
ACCREDITATION
The NCQA provides information about the quality of national managed care plans to enable consumers to evaluate health plan performance. To develop standards that effectively evaluate the structure and function of medical and quality management systems in managed care organizations, NCQA has developed an extensive review and development process in conjunction with the managed care industry, healthcare purchasers, state regulators, and consumers. The Standards for Accreditation of MBHOs used by NCQA reviewers to evaluate an MBHO address the following areas: quality improvement, utilization management, credentialing, members rights and responsibilities, and preventative care. These standards validate that an MBHO is founded on principles of quality and is continuously improving the clinical care and services it provides. NCQA utilizes the Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set, which is a core set of performance measurements developed to respond to complex but clearly defined employer needs as standards for patient care and customer satisfaction.
In October 2008, we were awarded Full Accreditation by NCQA extending through September of 2011. Full Accreditation is granted for a period of three years to those plans that have, according to the NCQA, excellent programs for continuous quality improvement and that meet NCQAs rigorous standards.
We believe our NCQA accreditation is beneficial to our clients and their members we serve. Additionally, NCQA accreditation is required by several of our client contracts and is frequently an important consideration to our prospective clients.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
All of our health plan information technology and systems operate on a single platform. This approach avoids the costs associated with maintaining multiple systems and improves productivity. The open architecture of the systems gives us the ability to transfer data from other systems thereby facilitating the integration of new health plan business. We use our information system for claims processing, utilization management, reporting, cost trending, planning, and analysis. The system also supports member and provider service functions, including:
| enrollment; |
| member eligibility verification; |
| provider rosters; |
| claims status inquiries; and |
| referrals and authorizations. |
We are subject to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). One of the purposes of HIPAA is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through standardization of the electronic data interchange of certain administrative and financial transactions and, also, to protect the security and privacy of protected health information. Entities subject to HIPAA include some healthcare providers and all healthcare plans.
We have significantly enhanced our network by installing a storage area network and virtualizing our computer servers. This implementation brought in the current best practices approach and permitted a major overhaul of our information technology infrastructure. The technology centralizes storage management, increases
9
Table of Contents
the utilization of equipment, improves redundancy of the servers, reduces the overall hardware requirements, and facilitates growth, while driving down the total cost of ownership.
MARKETING AND SALES
Our marketing and sales efforts are led by our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Senior Vice President of Corporate Development. In addition, we utilize consultants for direct sales to commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare prospective clients. We will continue to dedicate resources to expand our sales staff and marketing efforts as necessary.
CompCares sales strategy focuses on matching our solutions to the needs identified by our potential clients. Examples of developing customer solutions include our ASD, ADD, and pharmacy analytics programs that offer unique solutions for our customers. Sales are highly technical and complex, involving many stakeholders within an organization. The sales cycle is typically 12 to 18 months. Sales leads may be generated by our business development staff, our operations staff, consultants, cold calls, prior business relationships, or recommendations from existing clients. We attend trade shows within geographic areas in which we conduct business and reach out to contacts known to us, our consultants, and our investors. In addition, we maintain permanent marketing outreach through our website, www.compcare.com.
ADMINISTRATION AND EMPLOYEES
Our executive and administrative offices are located in Tampa, Florida, where we maintain operations, business development, accounting, reporting and information systems, and provider and member service functions. Provider management, account management, and certain clinical and utilization management functions are also performed in our Texas & Puerto Rico offices and by employees located in Michigan. As of December 31, 2010, we employed 134 full-time employees and 11 part-time employees.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the risk factors listed below. Risks and uncertainties in addition to those we describe below, that may not be presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also harm our business and operations. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed, the price of our common stock could decline, and future events and circumstances could differ significantly from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
Risks related to our business
We may not be able to accurately predict utilization of our at-risk contracts, which could result in contracts priced at levels insufficient to ensure profitability.
Managed care operations are at risk for costs incurred to provide agreed upon levels of service. Failure to anticipate or control costs could have material, adverse effects on our business. A very large percentage of our services are provided on an at-risk capitation basis, which exposes us to significant risk that contracts negotiated and entered into may ultimately be unprofitable if utilization levels require us to provide services at a cost in excess of the capitation rates we receive for the services.
We rely on the accuracy of eligibility lists provided by our clients to collect premiums and to pay claims. Any inaccuracies in those lists may cause our clients to recoup premium payments from us or for us to pay claims incorrectly, which could materially reduce our revenues and results of operations.
Premium payments that we receive and claims payments that we make are based on eligibility lists that are produced by our clients. A client will require us to reimburse it for premiums that we received based on an eligibility list that it later discovers contains individuals who were not eligible. Our review of all remittance files to identify potential duplicate members, members that should be terminated or members for which we have been paid an incorrect rate may not identify all such members and could result in repayment of premiums or claims that we paid incorrectly.
Federal regulations require entities subject to HIPAA to update their transaction formats for electronic data exchange from the current HIPAA 4010 requirement to the new HIPAA 5010 standards, which are not only burdensome and complex, but could adversely impact administrative expense and compliance.
A federal mandate known as HIPAA 5010 will require us to use new standards for conducting certain operational and administrative transactions electronically beginning in January 2012. These administrative transactions include: claims, remittance, eligibility and claims status requests and responses. The HIPAA 5010 upgrade was prompted by government and industrys shared goal of providing higher quality, lower cost health care and the need for a comprehensive electronic data exchange environment for the ICD-10 mandate to be implemented by October 2013. Upgrading to the new HIPAA 5010 standards should increase transaction uniformity, support pay for performance and streamline reimbursement transactions. We may face significant pressure to ensure that we have installed our software and tested it for compatibility with our business partners. Because HIPAA 5010 affects electronic transactions such as patient eligibility and claim payments, we must achieve full functionality of HIPAA 5010 transactions before the deadline.
Our business could be adversely impacted by adoption of the new ICD-10 standardized coding set for diagnoses.
By 2013, the federal government will require that health care organizations upgrade to updated and expanded standardized code sets used for documenting health conditions. These new standardized code sets, known as ICD-10, will require additional investments from health care organizations, including us.
Our failure to maintain accreditations could disqualify us from existing contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Several of our contracts require that we are to be accredited by independent accrediting organizations that are focused on improving the quality of health care services. There can be no assurances that we will maintain our accreditations, and the loss of, or failure to obtain accreditations required by contract could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, cash flows and results of operations.

Because providers are responsible for claims submission, the timing of which is uncertain, we must estimate the amount of claims incurred but not reported, and actual results may differ materially.
Our costs of care include estimated amounts for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR). The IBNR is estimated using an actuarial paid completion factor methodology and other statistical analyses that we continually review and adjust, if necessary, to reflect any change in the estimated liability. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in utilization and other factors. Our estimates of IBNR may be inadequate in the future, which would negatively affect results of operations. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, we believe that our unpaid claims liability is adequate. However, actual results may differ materially from the estimated amounts reported.
We may be subject to fines and penalties being assessed to us by our clients or by a regulatory agency.
Many of our contracts contain provisions stating that if our clients are assessed penalties or fines by a regulatory agency due to our noncompliance with a contractual requirement, we will be responsible for paying the assessed fine or penalty. Though to date, no material fines have been assessed under such provisions, any future fines would have a negative impact on our results of operations.
A failure of our information systems would significantly impair our ability to serve our customers and manage our business.
An effective and secure information system, available at all times, is vital to our health plan customers and their members. We depend on our computer systems for significant service and management functions, such as providing membership verification, monitoring utilization, processing provider claims, and providing regulatory data and other client and managerial reports. Although our computer and communications hardware is protected by physical and software safeguards, it is still vulnerable to computer viruses, fire, storm, flood, power loss, telecommunications failures, physical or software break-ins, and similar events. We do not have 100% redundancy for all of our computer and telecommunications facilities. A catastrophic event could have a significant negative effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We also depend on a third-party provider of application services for our core business application. Any sustained disruption in their services to us would have a material negative effect on our business.
We are subject to intense competition that may prevent us from gaining new customers or pricing our contracts at levels sufficient to achieve gross margins to ensure profitability.
We are continually pursuing new business. Many of our competitors are significantly larger and better capitalized than us, and the smaller size and financial condition of our company has proved a deterrent to some prospective customers. Additionally, we will likely have difficulty in matching the financial resources expended on marketing characteristic of our competitors. As a result, we may not be able to successfully compete in our industry. Our major competitors include Magellan Health Services, United Behavioral Health, ValueOptions, Psychcare, and APS Healthcare.
We will require additional funding, and we cannot guarantee that we will find adequate sources of capital in the future or that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
We cannot assure you that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our business. We expect to obtain these funds from operating activities and financing activities that may include equity or debt financing, which could dilute stockholder ownership. We cannot provide assurance that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
Failure to achieve profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations during 2011 would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives and may require us to raise additional funds that may include equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance as to the availability of needed funding and, if available, that the source of funds would be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us. The inability or failure to raise funds before our available cash is depleted will have a material adverse effect on our business and may raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.
As of December 31, 2010, we had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), of approximately $25.0 million for federal income tax purposes that will begin to expire in 2022. These NOLs may be used to offset future taxable income, to the extent we generate any taxable income, and thereby reduce or eliminate our future federal income taxes otherwise payable. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on a corporations ability to
12
Table of Contents
utilize NOLs if it experiences an ownership change as defined in Section 382. In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percent over a three-year period. In the event that an ownership change has occurred, or were to occur, utilization of our NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 determined by multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. If so, the use of our NOLs, or a portion thereof, against our future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which may result in expiration of a portion of our NOLs before utilization.
We underwent such ownership changes in each of June 2005, January 2007, and January 2009. As a result, our potential current usage of net operating loss carryforwards is limited to approximately $5.9 million. Any future ownership changes may impose the application of another Section 382 limitation on our federal NOLs and can reduce the amount of NOLs we can utilize in a year if the market value of our stock were to decline significantly prior to an ownership change. Such an event may have an adverse impact on our anticipated future cash flow if we have taxable income in the future.
Our sales cycle is long, which complicates our ability to predict our growth.
The sales and implementation process for our services is lengthy and requires us to commit substantial time and other resources to efforts that may or may not yield new business. Our sales cycle has generally ranged from 12 to 18 months from our initial contact to an executed contract. Accordingly, it may be difficult to replace lost business quickly.
We are dependent on a limited number of customers, and a loss or reduction in business of any one could have a material adverse effect on our working capital and results of operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we provided behavioral healthcare services to the members of four health plans under contracts that on a combined basis represented approximately 75% of our managed care operating revenue. The terms of each contract are generally for one or two-year periods and are 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. During 2010, we experienced the loss of a major customer in Michigan, which provided approximately 14% of our managed care operating revenue for 2010.
We may be unsuccessful in obtaining performance bonds or other security that is required by our existing or future clients, and consequently may lose clients.
Some of our clients may require us to maintain performance bonds, restricted cash accounts, or other security with respect to our obligations to pay IBNR claims. Due to current market conditions, we may be unable to provide the security required by our client. This could result in the loss of a client or clients which would negatively affect our financial condition.
We are dependent on our provider network to provide services to our members.
We contract with providers as a means to provide access to behavioral health services for our members. Some providers could refuse to contract with us, demand higher payments, or take other actions which could result in higher healthcare operating expenses. In addition, certain providers may have significant market position, which could cause disruption to provider access in a particular geographic area for our members. Difficulty in negotiating with providers may increase our expenses and negatively affect the contractual requirement with our customers that we maintain an adequate provider network.
Claims brought against us may exceed our insurance coverage.
We maintain a program of insurance coverage against a broad range of risks related to our business. As part of this program of insurance, we are subject to certain deductibles and self-insured retentions. Our insurance may not be sufficient to cover all judgments, settlements, or costs relating to future claims, suits or complaints. Upon expiration of our insurance policies, sufficient insurance may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we are unable to secure adequate insurance in the future, this may have a material adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified personnel.
The success of our business is largely dependent on the skills, experience and performance of key members of our senior management team, such as our CEO and Acting Chief Financial Officer. We believe our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified technical, managerial, and marketing personnel will determine whether we meet our goals. The market for highly skilled sales, marketing and support personnel is highly competitive as a result of
13
Table of Contents
the limited availability of technically qualified personnel with the requisite understanding of the markets which we serve. The inability to hire or retain qualified personnel may hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and may harm our business.
Our growth could strain our personnel and infrastructure resources, and if we are unable to implement appropriate controls and procedures to manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.
Our expected growth in our operations will place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational, and financial infrastructure. Our future success will depend in part upon the ability of our management to manage growth effectively. This may require us to hire and train additional personnel to manage our expanding operations. In addition, we will be required to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we may be unable to execute our business plan and our business and operations may be adversely impacted.
Our profitability could be adversely affected if the value of our intangible assets and goodwill is not fully realized.
Our total assets at December 31, 2010 include goodwill of approximately $12.2 million resulting from our acquisition of Core in January 2009, which represents approximately 83% of our total assets. We completed our annual impairment analysis of goodwill as of December 31, 2010 and noted no impairment.
At December 31, 2010, identifiable intangible assets (customer contracts, provider networks and NCQA accreditation) totaled approximately $0.5 million. These intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which we have estimated at approximately three years. The amortization period used may differ from those used by other entities. In addition, we may be required to shorten the amortization period for intangible assets in future periods based on changes in our business. There can be no assurance that such goodwill or intangible assets will be realizable.
We evaluate, on a regular basis, whether for any reason the carrying value of our intangible assets and other long-lived assets may no longer be completely recoverable, in which case a charge to earnings for impairment losses could become necessary. When events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets other than goodwill by determining whether the carrying value of such intangible assets will be recovered through the future cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Any event or change in circumstances leading to a future determination requiring write-off of a significant portion of unamortized intangible assets or goodwill would adversely affect our profitability.
Changes in, or interpretations of, accounting rules and regulations, such as expensing of stock options or in the accounting for leases, could result in unfavorable accounting charges.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles are subject to interpretation by the SEC and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in these policies can have a significant effect on our reported results, and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions.
We may be subject to litigation by the remaining subordinated debenture holders for which we have not issued senior promissory notes in exchange for their debentures.
We were unable to repay our 7 1/2% convertible subordinated debentures in the amount of $2,244,000 of principal or to pay the final interest installment of $84,150 on the debentures maturity date of April 15, 2010. However, as of February 28, 2011, we had reached agreement with certain owners of the debentures representing approximately 75%, or $1.7 million, of the debentures to cancel such debentures in exchange for the issuance by us of senior promissory notes, warrants to purchase our common stock, and cash payments of approximately $87,000 in the aggregate. We continue to be in default with respect to approximately $569,000 of the debentures. We may be subject to litigation or other remedies as a result of this default.
Risks related to our industry
Adverse conditions in the global economy could negatively affect our revenues and sources of liquidity.
The financial markets have been recovering slowly with continued diminished liquidity and availability of credit, which has adversely affected our ability to raise additional capital. In addition, reduced economic activity has
14
Table of Contents
lowered the revenues of the federal government and state governments which could result in reduced payments to our clients for health care coverage programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP, which in turn could result in lower revenues being paid to us and adversely affecting our results of operations.
Our existing and potential managed care clients operate in a highly competitive environment and may be subject to a higher rate of merger, acquisition, and regulation than in other industries.
We typically contract with small to medium sized HMOs that may be adversely affected by the continuing efforts of governmental and third-party payers to contain or reduce the costs of healthcare through various means. Our clients may also decide to manage the behavioral healthcare benefits in-house and, as a result, discontinue contracting with us. Additionally, our clients may be acquired by larger HMOs, in which case there can be no assurance that the acquiring company would renew our contract. The non-renewal of one or more contracts could adversely impact our business.
Many managed care companies, including 19 of our existing clients, provide services to groups covered by Medicare, Medicaid and/or CHIP programs. Such federal and state controlled programs are susceptible to annual changes in reimbursement rates and eligibility requirements that could ultimately affect companies such as CompCare.
At January 1, 2011, we managed approximately one million lives in connection with behavioral and psychotropic pharmacy management services covered through Medicare programs in Connecticut, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico, CHIP programs in Pennsylvania, Medicaid and CHIP programs in Missouri, Medicare and Medicaid programs in California, Florida, and Michigan, and Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP programs in Texas. Any changes in Medicare, Medicaid, and/or CHIP reimbursement could ultimately affect us through contract bidding and cost structures with the health plans first impacted by such changes. If we are unable to adapt to the differing needs of our Medicare members and the Medicare regulations, we may be unsuccessful in managing this line of business.
Because governmental health care programs account for such a large portion of state budgets, efforts to contain overall government spending could result in a significant decrease in health care programs.
Temporary reductions in state funding have previously had a negative impact on us, and if implemented in the future, could have a material, adverse impact on our operations. In addition, states in which we operate may pass legislation that would reduce our revenue or increase our claims expense through changes in the reimbursement rates, changes in the benefit covered, or in the number of eligible participants. We may be unable to reduce our costs to a level that would allow us to maintain current gross margins specific to our Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP programs.
The industry is subject to extensive state and federal regulations, as well as diverse licensure requirements varying by state. Changes in regulations could affect the profitability of our contracts or our ability to retain clients or to gain new customers.
We are required to hold licenses or certificates to perform utilization review and/or TPA services in California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Additional utilization review or TPA licenses may be required in the future, and we may not qualify to obtain new licenses or renew existing licenses. In many states in which we provide services, entities that assume risk under contract with licensed insurance companies or health plans have not been considered by state regulators to be conducting an insurance or HMO business. As a result, we have not sought licensure as either an insurer or HMO in any state. If the regulatory positions of these states were to change, our business could be materially affected until such time as we are able to meet the regulatory requirements, if at all. Additionally, some states may decide to contract directly with companies such as ours for managed behavioral healthcare services, in which case they may also require us to maintain financial reserves or net worth requirements that we may not be able to meet. Currently, we cannot quantify the potential effects of additional regulation of the managed care industry, but such costs will have an adverse effect on future operations to the extent that they are not able to be recouped in future managed care contracts.
Healthcare reform may significantly reduce our revenues and profitability.
The U.S. Congress passed legislation that, among other things, could limit funding to our clients. We cannot predict the effect of this legislation on our business.
We are subject to federal statutes prohibiting false claims.
The Federal False Claims Act imposes civil penalties for knowingly making or causing to be made false claims with respect to governmental programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, for services not rendered, or for misrepresenting
15
Table of Contents
actual services rendered, in order to obtain higher reimbursement. While we do not directly provide services to beneficiaries of federally funded health programs and, accordingly, do not submit claims to the federal government, we do provide services to health plans that could become involved with false claims, which could result in allegations against us as well.
Failure to adequately comply with HIPAA may result in penalties and loss of revenues.
We are subject to the requirements of HIPAA. The purpose of HIPAA is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system through standardization of the electronic data interchange of certain administrative and financial transactions and to protect the security and privacy of protected health information. We have implemented policies and practices to achieve compliance with HIPAA, and believe we are fully compliant with all HIPAA regulations. However, any lack of compliance with HIPAA regulations may result in penalties and have a material adverse effect on our ability to retain our customers or to gain new business.
The managed care industry is subject to class action lawsuits and claims for professional liability that could increase our expenditures and have an adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
In recent years the managed care industry has been subject to a greater number of lawsuits and claims of professional liability alleging negligence in performing utilization review and other managed care activities and in the denial of payment for services. Such incidents may result in professional negligence or other claims against us causing us to incur fees and expend substantial resources in defense of such actions. Although we maintain professional liability insurance, there can be no assurance that future claims will not have a material effect on our profitability and financial position.
Risks related to our common and preferred stock
Our Series C Convertible Preferred stockholders have significant rights and preferences over the holders of our common stock.
Our Series C Convertible Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when declared by our Board of Directors before dividends are paid on our common stock. The holders also have a claim against our assets senior to the claim of the holders of our common stock in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. The aggregate amount of that senior claim is approximately $3,600,000, which will increase as our preferred stock accrues dividends or if we issue additional shares of such preferred stock. In addition, each Series C Convertible Preferred stockholder is entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on an as converted basis. The holders of our Series C Convertible 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 to or superior to those of the Series C Preferred Convertible Stock; |
| to prevent alteration of the rights of the Series C Preferred shares or an increase in the authorized number of shares of common 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. |
These rights and preferences could adversely affect our ability to finance future operations, satisfy capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest.
16
Table of Contents
If issued, holders of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock would have significant rights and preferences over the holders of our common stock.
As of December 31, 2010, warrants were outstanding and exercisable allowing the purchase of 390 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. If exercised, the holders of our Series D Convertible Preferred stock would have rights and preferences subordinate to the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock but senior to the holders of our common stock. Such preferences would include the right to receive dividends prior to the holders of the common stock, paid at an amount equal to 50% of the dividend declared with respect to each common share and multiplied by 100,000, the number of common shares into which each Series D Convertible Preferred share is entitled to convert. In addition, the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will have a claim against our assets senior to the claim of the holders of our common stock in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Each Series D Convertible Preferred stockholder would additionally be entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock. If issued, each Series D Convertible Preferred share (which is convertible into 100,000 shares) 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 common shares. As of December 31, 2010, no shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock were issued.
The price of our common stock may be adversely affected by our small public capitalization.
The size of our public market capitalization is relatively small, and the volume of our shares that are traded is low. These factors could cause significant fluctuation in the trading of our stock, which may adversely affect the price and volatility of our common stock.
We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, which would cause our stock price to decline.
Our quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to seasonal changes in utilization levels, changes in estimates regarding IBNR claims, the timing of implementation of new contracts, the termination of existing contracts, and enrollment changes. These factors may affect our quarterly and annual net revenue, expenses, and profitability in the future, and consequently we may fail to meet market expectations, causing our stock price to decline.
Shares reserved for future issuance upon the conversion of our preferred stock, subordinated debentures, options, warrants, and convertible promissory notes will cause dilution to our common stockholders.
As of December 31, 2010, 54,387,172 shares of our common stock were reserved for the potential conversion of our Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, subordinated debentures, and convertible promissory notes. In addition, 39,140,918 shares of our common stock were reserved for the possible exercise of stock options and warrants and for the future issuance of options under existing stock option plans. Given that 54,359,784 shares of our common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2010, our stockholders would experience significant dilution of their investment upon conversion or exercise of these securities.
Errors in estimates may have a significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Assumptions relating to certain business, accounting and financial estimates involve judgments that are difficult to predict accurately and are subject to many factors that can materially affect results. Budgeting and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our budgets which may in turn affect our results. In light of the factors that can materially affect the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.
We incur costs as a result of being a publicly-traded company.
As a publicly-traded company, we incur legal, accounting, and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic reporting requirements applicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and other rules implemented by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
We may raise additional funds in the future through issuances of securities and such additional funding may be dilutive to stockholders or impose operational restrictions.
To fund acquisitions, sales expansions and our operations, we may raise additional capital in the future through sales of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, as well as issuances of
17
Table of Contents
debt. Such additional financing may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants which may limit our operating flexibility. If additional capital is raised through the issuances of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, the ownership of existing stockholders will be diluted. These stockholders may experience additional dilution in net book value per share and any additional equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.
We are not subject to certain of the corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and, without voluntary compliance with such provisions, neither you nor the Company will receive the benefits and protections they were enacted to provide.
Since our common stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange, we are not subject to certain of the corporate governance rules established by the national securities exchanges pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These rules relate to independent director standards, director nomination procedures, audit and compensation committees standards, the use of an audit committee financial expert and the adoption of a code of ethics.
While we intend to file an application to have our securities listed for trading on a national securities exchange in the future that would require us to fully comply with those obligations, we cannot assure you that we will file such an application, that we will be able to satisfy applicable listing standards, or, if we do satisfy such standards, that we will be successful in receiving approval of our application by the governing body of the applicable national securities exchange.
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of penny stocks may limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
Our common stock is a penny stock as defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act and is accordingly subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our common stock may be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchasers written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.
Our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.
The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to other issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be volatile for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert managements attention and resources.
Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our stockholders.
Stock markets are susceptible to significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the OTC Bulletin Board® (OTCBB) have been especially volatile in the past. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
| variations in our operating results; |
| changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors; |
| changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry; |
| additions or departures of key personnel; and |
| future sales of our common stock. |
Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.
18
Table of Contents
A significant portion of our total outstanding shares of common stock may be sold in the market in the near future.
As of December 31, 2010, approximately 39.7 million or 73% of our registered securities are beneficially owned by eight persons. Sales of substantial amounts of these securities, when sold, could reduce the market price of our common stock. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market of such sales, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
ITEM 2. | PROPERTIES |
We do not own any real property. We lease our Tampa corporate office, Puerto Rico office and Texas office. In our Tampa office we maintain clinical operations, business development, accounting, reporting and information systems, and provider and member service functions. Provider service, account management, and certain clinical functions are also performed in our Texas & Puerto Rico offices. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our leased properties as of December 31, 2010. The lease for our Texas office is a full service lease under which we bear only those costs of operations and property taxes exceeding the base-year expenses. The Florida lease monthly base rent covers all services and property taxes. We believe our current office space is suitable and adequate to meet our existing needs and that additional facilities will be available for lease to meet our future needs.

ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
(1) | We initiated an action against Jerry Katzman in July 2009 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida alleging that Mr. Katzman, a former director, fraudulently induced us to enter into an employment agreement and, alternatively, that Mr. Katzman breached that alleged employment agreement and was rightfully terminated. In September 2010 the matter proceeded to a trial by jury. The jury found that Mr. Katzman did not fraudulently induce CompCare to enter into the contract. The jury also found that Mr. Katzman was not entitled to damages. The Companys trial attorney believes this decision was based upon a finding that the Company had rightfully terminated Mr. Katzman. On defendants motion to amend the verdict due to inconsistency, the trial court set aside the jury verdict and awarded Mr. Katzman damages of approximately $1.3 million. In February 2010, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal, posted a collateralized appeal bond for approximately $1.3 million, and filed a motion for reconsideration. The motion for reconsideration is pending. |
(2) | On September 21, 2010, a complaint entitled InfoMC, Inc. v. Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. and CompCare de Puerto Rico, Inc. was filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging, among other things, that the Company improperly used InfoMC, Inc.s trademarks in connection with CompCare de Puerto Rico Inc.s proposal to obtain a managed behavioral healthcare services contract in Puerto Rico. The complaint asserts claims for federal trademark infringement, false advertising, unfair competition, conversion, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment. InfoMC, Inc. is seeking monetary damages in the amount of $600,000 and certain injunctive relief. The case is at the earliest stages with a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction pending. We believe the suit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations asserted. |
(3) | On January 5, 2011, a complaint entitled Community Hospitals of Indiana, Inc. vs. Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. and MDwise, Inc. was filed against us in the Superior Court of Marion County Circuit in Indiana. The complaint claims damages of approximately $1.7 million from us and MDwise, Inc., a former client, for allegedly unpaid claims for behavioral health professional services rendered between January 1, 2007 and |
19

December 31, 2008. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract, account stated, quantum meruit and unjust enrichment against us and MDwise, Inc. The Company believes the suit is without merit and filed a Motion to Dismiss on March 2, 2011. If the suit proceeds, we intend to vigorously oppose the litigation. |

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the period November 15, 2010 (the filing date of our filing with the SEC within which unregistered sales were previously reported) to March 15, 2011, we sold and issued shares of our common stock and issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in private placements not involving a public offering as follows:
| On November 30, 2010, we issued warrants to a creditor who agreed to extend the maturity date of his existing note and a consultant who facilitated the transaction. Each received a five year warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The warrants, which will expire in November 2015, were vested in full at issuance. |
| On December 30, 2010, we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to a consultant for corporate financing services. |
| On December 30, 2010, we issued a five year warrant to purchase 58,100 shares of our common stock to a holder of our 7 1/2% convertible subordinated debentures who had agreed to exchange his debenture plus accrued interest thereon for a senior promissory note issued by us. The warrant was vested in full at issuance, will expire in December 2015, and is exercisable at a price of $0.25 per share. |
| On December 31, 2010, we issued a five year warrant to a consultant for corporate financing services. The warrant, which will expire in December 2015, was vested in full at issuance and allows the grantee to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. |
| On January 7, 2011, we issued a warrant with a five year term to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to a key sales and marketing employee. The warrant may be exercised at the price of $1.00 per share, to the extent vested. Vesting of shares acquirable pursuant to the warrant is dependent on the employees attainment of annual sales targets. |
| On January 10, 2011, we issued a five year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 to a clinical consultant who assists management in planning and developing business in Puerto Rico. The shares acquirable pursuant to the warrant vest as follows: |
| 33,000 vest 12 months after the warrant issuance date |
| 33,000 vest 24 months after the warrant issuance date |
| 34,000 vest 36 months after the warrant issuance date |
| On January 11, 2011, we issued 200,000 shares of our common stock to a consultant for corporate financing services. |
| On January 19, 2011, we issued a five year warrant to purchase 41,500 shares of our common stock to a holder of our 7 1/2 % convertible subordinated debentures who had agreed to exchange his debenture plus accrued interest thereon for a senior promissory note issued by us. The warrant was vested in full at issuance, will expire in December 2015, and is exercisable at a price of $0.25 per share. |
| On March 11, 2011, we sold 1,200,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement transaction to one accredited investor for aggregate proceeds of $300,000. In connection with this sale, we issued a warrant to a consultant to the Company for financial services. The warrant has a five year term and enables the holder to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock. The warrant was vested in full at issuance and may be exercised at the price of $0.25 per share. |
Based on certain representations and warranties of the purchasers in their respective subscription agreements, we relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), for an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the sales and issuances described above. These shares, and the shares underlying the warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. No underwriting discounts or commissions were given or paid in connection with the sales described above. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sales and issuances described above for product and sales expansion and for working capital purposes.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This report includes forward-looking statements, the realization of which may be impacted by certain important factors discussed previously under Item 1A, Risk Factors.
OVERVIEW
CompCare manages the delivery of a continuum of behavioral healthcare, substance abuse, and psychotropic drug management services to commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid members on behalf of health plans, government organizations, third-party claims administrators, and commercial and other group purchasers of behavioral healthcare services. Our managed care operations include at-risk contracts, administrative service agreements, and fee-for-service agreements. The customer base for our services includes both employers and health plans that contract with governmental entities. Our clinical services are provided by unrelated contracted providers on a fee for service or subcapitated basis.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Recent Developments
New Business
During the first three months of 2011, we added approximately 124,000 lives to our managed behavioral health care membership through the addition of one new client and by way of our existing clients expansion. Services will be provided on an at-risk and ASO basis to health plans serving Medicare and Healthy Kids members.
Contract Termination
On March 22, 2011, we provided notice of early contract termination to a customer for which we are currently furnishing behavioral healthcare services on an at-risk basis to approximately ninety-two thousand (92,000) CHIP and Medicaid members. We exercised our right to terminate without cause as contained in our agreement with the customer. We believe that termination without cause was in the best interest of the Company. This contract began in April 2010 and accounted for 11.7%, or $4.1 million, of our revenues during the year ended December 31, 2010. However, it also accounted for a gross margin loss of approximately $1.1 million. Although the customer has increased benefits to its members, it has thus far refused our request for a capitated rate adjustment. We do not believe that the termination of this contract will have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve overall profitability. The contract provides that when the contract is terminated without cause prior to twelve (12) months from the initial effective date, we are entitled to a breakage fee equivalent to two months capitation costs, or approximately $1 million. We have notified the customer that we expect the breakage fee to be paid by April 10, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AS COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009.
Operating revenues from at-risk contracts increased by 114.3%, or $12.5 million, to $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of three major customer contracts accounting for $10.1 million in revenue, as well as additional business from two existing customers of approximately $1.7 million. Revenue from ASO contracts decreased by 3.3%, or approximately $78,000, to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, due primarily to the loss of one ASO contract with revenues of approximately $1.4 million, offset by the addition two new ASO clients with associated revenues of approximately $1.1 million. Pharmacy revenue increased to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, attributable primarily to the Puerto Rico contract that started September 18, 2010, which combines psychotropic drug management services with traditional behavioral managed care.
Claims expense on at-risk contracts increased by approximately 114.3%, or $9.6 million, for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, due to the addition of three major customer contracts described above. Claims expense as a percentage of at-risk revenues was 76.5% for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Pharmacy expense of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 represents the cost of behavioral prescription drugs attributable to contracts in Puerto Rico. Pharmacy expense as a percentage of pharmacy revenue was 101.5% for 2010 compared to 102.7% for 2009. Other healthcare operating expenses, attributable to servicing both at-risk contracts and ASO contracts, increased by 41.3%, or approximately $1.7 million, due primarily to the costs associated with contracts added in 2010, such as salaries, employee benefits and external medical case review fees. Other healthcare operating expenses as a percentage of total operating revenues was 16.8% for 2010 compared to 29.6% for 2009. Overall, gross margin increased by $0.9 million from $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to a gross profit of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to the expiration of contracts with high utilization of behavioral services.
General and administrative expenses incurred in 2010 did not change materially when compared to those of 2009. However, general and administrative expense as a percentage of total operating revenues decreased from 68.4% for the year ended December 31, 2009 to 27.8% for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to the higher revenues in 2010. Depreciation and amortization increased by $84,000 from $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to expenditures for software, hardware, furniture and equipment to establish an office in Puerto Rico.
Equity based expenses of $2.1 million are comprised of $0.9 million of expense recognized upon the issuance of stock and warrants to executive and non-executive employees, $0.9 million of expense for the issuance of a warrant to a customer, and $0.3 million of expense related to the issuance of stock, options and warrants to outside consultants.
Overall, our operating loss decreased approximately 42.5%, or $8.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AS COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008.
Operating revenues from at-risk contracts decreased by 67.8%, or $23.1 million, to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $34.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily attributable to the expiration of two major customer contracts accounting for $23.8 million in revenue. This decrease was partially offset by $0.5 million in additional business from an existing client in Michigan and $0.3 million in business from a new Puerto Rico client. Revenue from ASO contracts increased by 131.8%, or approximately $1.3 million, to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, due primarily to the addition of a new ASO contract. Pharmacy revenue increased to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $31,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, attributable primarily to a new contract that combines psychotropic drug management services with traditional behavioral managed care.
Claims expense on at-risk contracts decreased by approximately 72.5%, or $22.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, due to the expiration of the two major customer contracts described above. Claims expense as a percentage of at-risk revenues decreased from 89.4% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 76.5% for the for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to 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 by 30.1%, or approximately $1.8 million, due primarily to the elimination of costs associated with contracts that expired in 2008, such as salaries and external medical case review fees. Pharmacy expense of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 represents the cost of behavioral prescription drugs attributable to a new contract. Overall, gross margin increased by $2.1 million from a loss of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to a gross profit of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to the expiration of contracts with high utilization of behavioral services.
General and administrative expenses increased by $6.1 million, or 168.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 due primarily to costs related to increasing the size of our employee base to accommodate expected growth prospects in the near future, financial advisory and consulting fees to identify new capital sources, and litigation expenses. General and administrative expense as a percentage of operating revenue increased from 10.3% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 68.4% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our review at December 31, 2009 of identifiable intangible assets acquired as the result of the merger with Core resulted in the recording of an impairment loss of $0.1 million due to the loss of two contracts that existed at the time of the merger. Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.5 million from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired as the result of the Core merger.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, we incurred $0.6 million of merger related costs, consisting mainly of financial advisory fees and legal fees. Equity based expenses of $8.9 million are comprised of $8.1 million of expense recognized upon the issuance of the warrants to executive employees, $0.1 million of expense related to the issuance of common stock to an employee pursuant to an employment agreement, $0.1 million of expense due to the early vesting of stock options as a result of the change in control, and $576,000 of expense related to the issuance of stock and warrants to outside consultants.
In summary, our operating loss increased to $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $14.1 million over that for the year ended December 31, 2008.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
To minimize the effect of inflation, some of our multi-year revenue contracts contain provisions for annual rate increases that average approximately three percent per year. Our largest expense, the cost of care provided by our contracted providers, is frequently tied to standard Medicaid, CHIP, and Medicare reimbursement rates set by governmental entities. To the extent these standard rates are periodically increased to reflect the effects of inflation, we may be adversely affected by rising prices, absent a sufficient compensating increase in our revenues from our customers.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
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 positive impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the June through August period and a negative impact on our gross margins and operating profits during the months of March through May.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary source of liquidity on an on-going basis consists of the monthly capitation payments we receive from our clients for providing managed care services. Based on historical experience, there is a high degree of certainty with respect to the reliability and timing of these payments from continuing contracts. However, the expiration of existing contracts or commencement of new contracts may cause our operational cash flow to vary significantly.
Our external sources of funds consist primarily of borrowings, lease financing, and the use of our common stock as a form of liquidity:
25
Table of Contents
Borrowings. We have used on an as-needed basis unsecured loans from individuals and companies to meet on-going working capital needs. The duration of the borrowings has ranged from one week to three years, with stated interest rates ranging from 7% to 24%. Certain of the loans have contained features such as the ability to convert all or a portion of the loan into our common stock, or have had a warrant for the purchase of our common stock issued in conjunction with the loan, or both. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, we obtained approximately $3.6 million in loans to fund our operations, of which $1.7 million had been repaid at December 31, 2010. Repayments of borrowings were made with cash generated from operations and new borrowings. Future repayments are expected to be made from similar sources.
A further source of liquidity via borrowing is the renegotiation of a portion of our convertible subordinated debentures that were due in full on April 15, 2010. We were not able to repay the debentures on the due date, but as of February 28, 2011, have converted approximately $1.7 million, or 75%, of the outstanding debentures to three-year senior promissory notes with a fixed interest rate of 10%. In connection with issuing the senior promissory notes, we also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 7.0 million shares of our common stock, each exercisable at a price of $0.25 and with a five year term.
Lease Financing. Liquidity has also been provided by the use of lease financing to acquire capital equipment. The leases are secured by the equipment acquired, have implied interest rates ranging from 13.4 to 18.6% and have 36 and 48 month terms. During the twelve months ending December 31, 2010, we financed through capital leases the acquisition of approximately $424,000 of software and equipment.
Sales of common stock. We periodically sell our common stock in private placements. The funds from such sales have been used for working capital purposes. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, we raised approximately $1.5 million through the sale of our common stock.
Use of common stock in lieu of cash. Certain vendors and note holders have accepted our common stock as payment for services, interest and debt. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, we avoided cash outlays of approximately $2.4 million for services, interest and debt repayment by issuing our common stock.
Our ability to continue to borrow funds on an unsecured basis or on a secured basis is unknown, as well as our ability to sell our common stock in private placements. With the exception of contracted maturities of debt, there are no other known future liquidity commitments or events. We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT PLANS REGARDING GOING CONCERN
During the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash and cash equivalents decreased by $131,000. Net cash used in operations totaled $3.0 million, attributable in part to expenditures to increase the size of our employee base to accommodate our growth and anticipated growth. Cash used in investing activities is comprised primarily of $135,000 for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest of our Puerto Rico subsidiary and $294,000 in additions to property and equipment. Cash provided by financing activities consists primarily of approximately $1.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, and approximately $3.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of note obligations, offset by approximately $1.8 million in debt repayments.
At December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $563,000. We had a working capital deficit of approximately $18.3 million at December 31, 2010 and an operating loss of approximately $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that with our existing contracts plus the addition of expected new contracts we are seeking, we will be able to reduce our operating losses and sustain our current operations over the next 12 months. We are also looking at various sources of financing for expansion purposes and to also cover the possibility that operations cannot support our ongoing plan; however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such new contracts or obtain financing. Failure to obtain sufficient debt or equity financing, and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations during 2011 would adversely affect and jeopardize our ability to achieve our business objectives and continue as a going concern. Although management believes that our current cash position plus the expected new contracts will be sufficient to meet our current levels of operations, additional cash resources may be required if we do not meet our sales targets, cannot refinance our debt obligations, exceed our projected operating costs, incur unanticipated expenses, or wish to accelerate sales or complete one or more acquisitions. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution. There are no assurances that we will not require additional financing or that we will be able to refinance our existing debt obligations in the event such refinancing should be needed or advisable.

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 $7.9 million claims payable amount reported as of December 31, 2010.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 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 under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe our accounting policies specific to our revenue recognition, accrued claims payable and claims expense, premium deficiencies, goodwill and stock compensation expense involve our most significant judgments and estimates that are material to our consolidated financial statements (see Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the audited, consolidated financial statements).
27
Table of Contents
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We provide managed behavioral healthcare, substance abuse, and psychotropic pharmacy management 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 at-risk 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 in the past.
ACCRUED CLAIMS PAYABLE AND CLAIMS EXPENSE
Our cost of care consists of three components: claims expense, pharmacy expense, and healthcare operating expense. Claims expenses are amounts paid to hospitals, physician groups and other managed care organizations under at-risk contracts. Pharmacy expense represents the costs of psychotropic drugs. Healthcare operating expense includes the costs of information systems, case management and quality assurance, which are attributable to both at-risk and ASO contracts.
We do not need to make significant estimates in recognizing pharmacy expense or healthcare operating expense in our financial statements as this information is readily available to us on a monthly basis.
Claims expense 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, per diem, 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 plans 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 its 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 managements 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 managements best estimate of the accrued claims payable balance.
The accrued claims payable ranges were between $7.8 and $7.9 million at December 31, 2010, between $4.6 and $4.7 million at December 31, 2009 and between $6.4 and $6.9 million at December 31, 2008. Based on the information available, we determined our best estimate of the accrued claims liability to be $7.9 million, $4.7 million and $6.8 million at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We have used the same methodology and assumptions for estimating the IBNR portion of the accrued claims liability for the last three years.

Changes in prior year claims expense were primarily due to the reversal in 2010 of $1.4 million of claims expense for an expired contract due to a legal settlement, as well as changes in utilization patterns and changes in claim submission timeframes by providers. We consider these changes in claims expenses to be immaterial when compared to the total claims expenses incurred in prior years.
Accrued claims payable at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is comprised of approximately $3.0 million, $2.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of submitted and approved claims which had not yet been paid, and $4.9 million, $2.0 million and $5.2 million for IBNR claims, respectively.
Many aspects of our business are not predictable with consistency, and therefore, estimating IBNR claims involves a significant amount of judgment by our management. Actual claims incurred could differ from the estimated accrued 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; and |
| The impact of present or future state and federal regulations. |
A five percent increase in assumed healthcare cost trends from those used in our calculations of IBNR at December 31, 2010 could increase our claims expense by approximately $123,000 as illustrated in the table below:

PREMIUM DEFICIENCIES
We accrue losses under our managed care 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 contract-by-contract basis by taking into consideration various factors such as future contractual revenue, projected future healthcare and
29
Table of Contents
maintenance costs, and each contracts 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.
We generally have the ability to cancel a contract with 60 to 90 days written notice or request a renegotiation of terms under certain circumstances, if a managed care contract is not meeting our financial goals. Prior to a cancellation, we typically 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 our favor in the future. If a rate increase is not granted, we have the ability, in some cases, to terminate the contract and limit our risk to a short-term period.
We perform a review of our portfolio of contracts on a quarterly basis to identify loss contracts (as defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide Health Care Organizations) and develop a contract loss reserve, if applicable, for succeeding periods. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, no contract loss reserve for future periods was necessary.
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 Companys common stock and the quoted market prices of our 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 managements assumptions, resulting in a potentially adverse impact to our consolidated financial statements.
STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE
We issue stock-based awards to our employees and members of our Board of Directors. Effective June 1, 2006, we adopted ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation and elected to apply the modified-prospective method to measure compensation cost for stock options at fair value on the grant date and recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the service period for those options 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 our 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts. ASU 2010-26 clarifies the types of acquisition costs that can be capitalized when acquiring new or renewal insurance contracts. It provides that incremental direct costs of successful contract acquisition are to be deferred and amortized using methods dependent on the underlying insurance contract. Other costs that do not vary with and are not primarily related to the acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract are expensed as incurred. The purpose of this update is to standardize the interpretation of which types of costs incurred when acquiring or renewing an insurance contract qualify for deferral. The provisions of this ASU will be effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We have not yet determined what impact this ASU will have on our financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and more disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. This ASU became effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 for most of the new disclosures and for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 for the new Level 3 disclosures. Comparative disclosures are not required in the first year the disclosures are required. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our financial statements.
ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
While we currently have market risk sensitive instruments, we have no material exposure to changing interest rates as the interest rates on our short term and long-term debt are fixed. Additionally, we do not use derivative financial instruments for investment or trading purposes and our investments are generally limited to cash deposits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Comprehensive Care Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Comprehensive Care Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statement of operations, changes in deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on the test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Comprehensive Care Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not generated sufficient cash flows from operations to fund its working capital requirements. This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Notes 1 and 4. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANYS BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Comprehensive Care Corporation (the Company, CompCare, we, us, or our) is a Delaware Corporation organized in 1969. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include 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, substance abuse, and psychotropic pharmacy management fields for commercial, Medicare, Medicaid and Childrens 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 behavioral pharmaceutical management services for two health plans in Puerto Rico. Our 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 by unrelated vendors on a subcontract basis.
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 stockholders 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 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 consolidated balance sheet as of December 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 entity.
For comparative purposes, the predecessor companys financial activity for the year ended December 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.
MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT OF LIQUIDITY
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The 2010 financial statements do not include any adjustments that are necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We have incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. In addition, note obligations of $3.4 million are due in the coming year, although we believe it likely that at least $2.0 million of such notes will convert into our common stock. As of December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency of $18.3 million and negative net worth of $6.7 million. These conditions, as well as the uncertainty to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our working capital requirements, raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to mitigate these going concern issues, we are currently evaluating our operating plans to improve profitability via cost reduction and business expansion by way of acquisition. During the first three months of 2011, we added approximately 124,000 lives to our managed care membership. This has occurred by way of new contracts and existing customers expansion. Management believes all of this growth occurs pursuant to profitably priced customer contracts. To confront the challenge of attracting capital during an economic recession, we have explored, and will continue to aggressively pursue, all means of raising capital through equity and debt financings. Although management believes that our current cash position will be sufficient to meet our current level of operations for 2011, additional cash resources may be required should we wish to accelerate sales or complete one or more acquisitions. Additional cash resources may be needed if we do not meet our sales targets, cannot refinance our debt obligations, exceed our projected operating costs or if unanticipated expenses arise or are incurred. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Comprehensive Care Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions are of particular importance in our accounting for revenue recognition, accrued claims payable, premium deficiencies, goodwill, and stock compensation expense. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The majority of our managed care activities are performed under the terms of at-risk 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 at-risk arrangements). The information regarding qualified participants is supplied by our clients and we review membership eligibility records and other reported information to verify its accuracy to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 such agreements accounted for 94%, or $32.9 million, 78%, or $11.0 million, and 97%, or $34.1 million, respectively, of revenue. The remaining balance of our revenues is earned on a non-risk basis.
Under certain behavioral health contracts we will also manage the psychotropic drug benefit for the health plans subscribing participants and are responsible for the cost of drugs dispensed. Pharmacy drug management revenue is recognized monthly at a contracted rate per eligible member. In accordance with the contracts, the health plans pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) performs drug price negotiation and claims adjudication. As such, payment for our pharmacy management services is withheld until a monthly or quarterly comparison of our total premium versus total drug cost is made, at which time we receive or pay the difference.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, we entered into a contract to provide autism treatment services to a health plans membership for which there was no historical claims data. In the absence of data upon which to base pricing, we included cost sharing/cost savings provisions in the agreement with the health plan whereby we share in the additional cost or cost savings when comparing actual claims costs to the estimated claims costs incorporated into the contracts pricing. Accordingly, we may adjust our revenue periodically as claims data becomes available to permit a comparison of actual claims costs to targeted claims costs. Such adjustments are made when we believe such adjustments are probable and reasonably estimable, but are subject to the effects of unforeseen fluctuations in utilization, among other factors.
COST OF CARE RECOGNITION
Claims expense, one component within cost of care, 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 the service, the service provided is medically necessary and is covered by the benefit plans 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.
We also incur pharmacy expense under the contracts for which we manage the psychotropic drug benefit. Pharmacy expense is recognized in the period in which an eligible member actually receives psychotropic medications. The health plans PBM periodically reports the cost of drugs used, which is subtracted from our pharmacy management premium to yield a net payment to us or payment to the health plan, depending on actual drug usage.

Table of Contents
PREMIUM DEFICIENCIES
We accrue losses under our managed care 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 contract-by-contract basis taking into consideration such factors as future contractual revenue, projected future healthcare and maintenance costs, and each contracts 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.
We generally have the ability to cancel a contract with 60 to 90 days written notice or request a renegotiation of terms under certain circumstances, if a managed care contract is not meeting our financial goals. Prior to a cancellation, we typically 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 our favor in the future. If a rate increase is not granted, we have the ability, in some 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. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, no contract loss reserve for future periods was necessary in managements opinion.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash and cash equivalents consisted entirely of funds on deposit in savings and checking accounts at major financial institutions.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are capitalized to the property accounts. Replacements and maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 12 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the assets useful life. Amortization of assets acquired under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was $262,000, $134,000 and $153,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired in purchase transactions. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-20, Intangibles Goodwill and Other, 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. We performed an impairment test as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and determined that no impairment of goodwill had occurred as of such dates.
On February 28, 2010, Core sold Direct Ventures International, Inc. (DVI), a Core subsidiary, to its former owner in exchange for 2.1 million shares of CompCare common stock. The sale of DVI resulted in a reduction of $25,000 in the amount of our recorded goodwill.
OTHER LIABILITIES
Other liabilities include the long-term portion of borrowings, a customer advance related to our major Puerto Rico contract that started in September 2010, and at December 31, 2009, accrued reinsurance claims payable liabilities representing amounts payable to providers under state reinsurance programs.

Table of Contents
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 us. 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 accrued claims payable amount reported. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the unpaid claims liability is adequate.
ACCRUED PHARMACY PAYABLE
The accrued pharmacy payable liability represents the amount payable to the health plan when the cost of psychotropic drugs exceeds our pharmacy management revenue.
NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
Non-controlling interest in our balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 represented the minority owners interest in our formerly majority-owned subsidiary, CompCare de Puerto Rico, Inc. (CCPR). CCPR was 51% owned by Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. (CBC) and 49% owned by a major behavioral health services company based in San Juan, Puerto Rico until July 2010 when CBC paid $135,000 in exchange for the minority owners interest.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques and creates the following three broad levels, with Level 1 being the highest priority:
Level 1: | Observable inputs that reflect quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date; | |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entitys own assumptions in pricing an asset or liability. |
ASC 820-10 requires us to segregate our assets and liabilities measured at fair value in accordance with the above hierarchy. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had no assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Therefore, there is no disclosure concerning assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10), 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 December 30, 2010. Consequently, ASC 825-10 had no impact on our results of operations.
At a minimum, ASC 825-10 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate that value. For cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, our 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 ASC 825-10, 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.

INCOME TAXES
Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes (ASC 740-10), 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 ASC 740-10, 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.
Prior to being acquired by CompCare, Core had purchased in January 2009 a 48.85% ownership interest in CompCare from Hythiam, Inc. (Hythiam). The purchase by Core of Hythiams ownership interest resulted in a change in control of the Company. As a result, our ability to carryforward and deduct losses incurred prior to January 20, 2009 on current federal tax returns is subject to a limitation of approximately $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.
ASC 740-10 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and requires that companies recognize in their consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. ASC 740-10 additionally provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of ASC 740-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Our adoption of ASC 740-10 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, we elected to recognize and classify interest and penalties, if any, associated with tax positions in accordance with this standard as part of pretax results of operations. No interest or penalties were recognized since there was no material impact on the overall adoption of this standard.
STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
We grant stock options to our employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants (grantees) allowing grantees to purchase our common stock pursuant to stockholder approved stock option plans. We also grant warrants to employees, non-employee directors, consultants, note holders, and certain clients. Under ASC 718-10, Compensation Stock Compensation we measure compensation cost for stock options and warrants issued to grantees at fair value on the grant date and recognize compensation expense over the service period for those options expected to vest. For stock options or warrants issued in exchange for the services of consultants, the transaction is measured at the fair value of the goods and services received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable as prescribed in ASC 505-50, Equity. We use a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of options and warrants on the measurement date.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
For the purpose of this disclosure we have evaluated potential subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued, March 31, 2011. There were no reportable subsequent events.
NOTE 3 SALE OF SUBSIDIARY
On February 28, 2010, Core sold Direct Ventures International, Inc. (DVI), a Core subsidiary, to its former owner in exchange for 2.1 million shares of CompCare common stock. The former owner took possession of all assets and assumed certain liabilities as of February 28, 2010. We canceled the reacquired shares and recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $0.5 million, which was credited directly to the retained earnings of Core.
NOTE 4 LIQUIDITY
During the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash and cash equivalents decreased by $131,000. Net cash used in operations totaled approximately $3.0 million, attributable in part to expenditures to increase the size of our employee base to accommodate our growth and anticipated future growth. Cash used in investing activities is comprised primarily of $135,000 for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in our Puerto Rico subsidiary and $294,000 in additions to property and equipment. Cash provided by financing activities consists primarily of approximately $1.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, and approximately $3.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of note obligations, offset by approximately $1.8 million in debt repayments.
At December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $563,000. We had a working capital deficit of approximately $18.3 million at December 31, 2010 and an operating loss of approximately $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that with our existing contracts plus the addition of expected new contracts we are seeking, we will be able to reduce our operating losses and sustain our current operations over the next 12 months. We are also looking at various sources of financing for expansion purposes and to also cover the possibility that operations cannot support our ongoing plan; however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such new contracts or obtain financing. Failure to obtain sufficient debt or equity financing, and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations during 2011 would adversely affect and jeopardize our ability to achieve our business objectives and continue as a going concern. Although management believes that our current cash position plus the expected new contracts will be sufficient to meet our current levels of operations, additional cash resources may be required if we do not meet our sales targets, cannot refinance our debt obligations, exceed our projected operating costs, incur unanticipated expenses, or wish to accelerate sales or complete one or more acquisitions. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution. There are no assurances that we will not require additional financing or that we will be able to refinance our existing debt obligations in the event such refinancing should be needed or advisable.

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 and no assurances can be given that such variability will not be significant, we believe that our unpaid claims liability is adequate. However, actual results could differ from the $7.9 million claims payable amount reported as of December 31, 2010.

Under our at-risk contracts, we assume the financial risk for the costs of member behavioral healthcare services in exchange for a fixed, per member per month fee. Under our ASO 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 our 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 6 MAJOR CONTRACTS/CUSTOMERS
(1) We currently provide behavioral healthcare services to approximately 225,000 members of a health plan providing Medicaid and Medicare benefits. Services are provided on an at-risk and ASO basis. The contract accounted for 11.1%, or $3.9 million, of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 23.1%, or $3.3 million, of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. 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. Either party may terminate upon 90 days written notice to the other party.
(2) During 2010 we contracted with a health plan to provide behavioral healthcare services to approximately 237,000 Medicaid and Medicare members on an at-risk and ASO basis. Our contract with the health plan accounted for 14.1%, or $5.0 million, of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 27.1%, or $3.8 million, of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. The initial contract was for a one-year term and has been automatically renewed on an annual basis since 2003. In September 2010, the client provided notice that one of its affiliates would manage its behavioral health care benefits and, as a result, will discontinue contracting with us effective December 31, 2010. We do not believe that the discontinuance of this contract will have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve overall profitability due to its immaterial contribution to gross margin during 2010.
(3) We currently furnish behavioral healthcare services to approximately 92,000 CHIP and Medicaid members on an at-risk basis under a contract that began in April 2010. This contract accounted for 11.7%, or $4.1 million, of our revenues during the year ended December 31, 2010. The term of the contract is for one year and nine months and will automatically renew at the end of the initial term and annually thereafter unless either party provides written notice of termination to the other party at least 90 days in advance of the then current termination date. On March 22, 2011, we provided 90 days prior written notice that we were terminating this contract without cause as permitted by the contract. We believe that termination without cause was in the best interest of the Company, as the contract accounted for a gross margin loss of approximately $1.1 million during 2010. Although the customer has increased benefits to its members, it has thus far refused our request for a capitated rate adjustment. We do not believe that the termination of this contract will have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve overall profitability. The contract provides that when the contract is terminated without cause prior to twelve (12) months from the initial effective date, we are entitled to a breakage fee equivalent to two months capitation costs, or approximately $1 million.
(4) We currently provide mental health, substance abuse, and pharmacy prescription drugs management services to approximately 190,000 members of a health plan in Puerto Rico on an at risk basis pursuant to a contract that began in September 2010. The contract accounted for 36.3%, or $12.8 million, of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010. The contract has an initial two year term with automatic renewals for additional one year terms unless either party provides 90 days prior written notice of its intention not to renew the agreement.
In general, our contracts with our customers have one or two year initial terms, with automatic annual extensions. Such contracts generally provide for cancellation by either party upon 60 to 90 days written notice or the right to request a renegotiation of terms under certain circumstances. No assurance can be given that we will be able to renegotiate any such terms if we make such a request.

NOTE 11 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On January 20, 2009, CompCare acquired Core, a privately held company, through a merger and in exchange for CompCare common and convertible preferred stock. As a result of the merger, the former Core stockholders 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.
47
Table of Contents
The assets acquired by Core included identifiable intangible assets, such as CompCares customer contracts, provider network, and its accreditation from the NCQA. Identifiable intangible assets were valued using either an income or cost approach, while the other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their carrying values, which approximated their fair values.
Customer contracts
We valued customer contracts with an income approach based on a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing managements best estimates of inherent assumptions such as the discount rate and expected life of the contract.
Provider network
We used a cost approach that estimated the average cost to recruit a provider derived from historical external costs and multiplied by the number of providers existing at acquisition.
NCQA accreditation
Utilizing a cost approach, we estimated the value of CompCares NCQA accreditation as the sum of the fee charged by the NCQA plus the estimated internal and external costs of preparing for the review.
In January 2009, prior to acquiring CompCare, Core purchased a 48.85% interest in CompCare for $1,500,000, yielding an implied purchase price of $3,071,000 for the entire company. In accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, the implied purchase price of CompCare was first allocated to the fair value of CompCares assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets. The excess of implied purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was assigned to goodwill. Goodwill related to this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes and in accordance with ASC 350-10, Intangibles Goodwill and other, is not amortized, but instead is subject to periodic impairment tests. Identifiable intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, which approximates their remaining lives. Deferred tax liabilities resulting from the difference between the assigned values and tax bases of identifiable intangible assets were not recorded due to net operating loss carryforwards.

(1) | We were unable to repay our 7 1/2% convertible subordinated debentures in the amount of $2,244,000 of principal or to pay the final interest installment of $84,150 on the debentures maturity date of April 15, 2010. However, during 2010 we reached agreement with certain owners of the debentures representing approximately 74%, or $1.7 million, of the debentures to cancel such debentures in exchange for the issuance by us of senior promissory notes, warrants to purchase our common stock, and cash payments of approximately $86,000 in the aggregate. For more information regarding the senior promissory notes, see Note 15 Long Term Debt. The remaining outstanding debentures are convertible into 12,793 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $45.26 per share. We are not able to estimate the financial effect resulting from a state of default with respect to the debentures held by the remaining bond holders. |
(2) | In June 2009, we issued a callable convertible promissory note to an existing investor. The note accrued interest at an annual rate of 10% per annum and matured June 24, 2010. On the maturity date, the principal plus accrued interest was converted into 6,285,714 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 as payment in full of the outstanding principal balance of the note and all accrued interest thereon. |
(3) | In October 2009, we issued a $100,000 promissory note to each of two individuals. At issuance the notes bore interest at an annual rate of 10% with interest payable at maturity. In March 2010, the notes plus accrued interest of approximately $8,000 were exchanged for zero coupon notes, each with a face value of $115,000. Both notes were repaid in May 2010. The effective return to each investor on the zero coupon notes was 56.2% and we recognized approximately $22,000 in interest expense for each note during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. |
(4) | In November 2009, we issued convertible promissory notes in the amounts of $100,000 and $50,000 to two individuals, respectively. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10% with interest payable quarterly in arrears. At the option of the note holders, all or a portion of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at maturity or at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. At maturity, the balance of the notes and accrued but unpaid interest not converted into shares of our common stock will be repaid. In November 2010, we fully redeemed the $100,000 convertible promissory note and renewed the $50,000 convertible promissory note with similar terms. As consideration for the renewal of the $50,000 note now due in May 2011, detachable warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share were issued. The warrants were vested upon issuance and have a three-year term. We used the Black-Scholes option valuation model in determining the allocation of the relative values of debt and warrants. The relative value of the warrants was recorded as a discount on notes payable and will be amortized over the term of the note. At the stated interest rate of 10%, we recognized approximately $1,000 of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010. For accounting purposes we also recognized approximately $1,000 of interest expense attributable to the amortization of the discount recorded on the notes. The overall theoretical return to the investor, computed taking into account the coupon and the warrants, was 25.6%. |
(5) | In December 2009, we issued $100,000 convertible promissory notes to each of three individuals. The notes had no stated maturity date but were callable by the note holder with five days notice. We repaid two of the notes in January 2010 and the remaining note in May 2010. The notes each bore interest at an annual rate of 10% and were convertible into our shares of common stock at any time at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. In conjunction with the loans, each note holder received a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share. The warrants were vested upon issuance and have terms of three years. We allocated the proceeds from the notes into two components, debt and warrants, based on their relative fair values. The warrants were valued at approximately $89,000 in the aggregate using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We also determined that the convertible promissory notes contained beneficial conversion features valued at $84,000 in the aggregate. The values of the warrants and beneficial conversion features were recorded as a discount on notes payable. At the stated interest rate of 10%, we recognized approximately $4,000 of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010. For accounting purposes we also recognized approximately $173,000 of interest expense attributable to the amortization of the discount recorded on the notes. The overall theoretical return to the investor, computed taking into account the coupon, the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants, was 2,179.2%. |
(6) | In March 2010, we issued two one-year convertible promissory notes: $100,000 to one individual and $50,000 to one entity. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7%, payable quarterly in arrears. At the option of the note holders, the principal and accrued but unpaid interest may be converted into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.25 and $0.50 per share, respectively. In conjunction with the loans, the note holders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share. The warrants were vested upon issuance and have a three-year term. We allocated the proceeds from the notes into two components, debt and warrants, based on their relative fair values. The warrants were valued at approximately $14,000 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We also determined that the convertible promissory notes contained beneficial conversion features valued at $13,000. The values of the warrants and beneficial conversion features were recorded as a discount on notes payable. At the stated interest rate of 7%, we recognized approximately $8,500 of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010. For accounting purposes we also recognized approximately $20,900 of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, which is attributable to the amortization of the discount recorded on the notes. The overall theoretical return to the investors, computed taking into account the coupon, the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants, is 28.1%. |

Table of Contents
(7) | In April and June 2010, we issued two one-year convertible promissory notes: $100,000 and $2,000,000 to two of our shareholders. The notes bear interest at the annual rate of 24%, payable quarterly in arrears. The principal and accrued but unpaid interest may be converted at any time prior to maturity into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. In conjunction with the loans, the note holders received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,050,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share. The warrants were vested upon issuance and have a five-year term. We allocated the proceeds from the notes into two components, debt and warrants, based on their relative fair values. The warrants were valued at approximately $220,000 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We also determined that the convertible promissory notes contained beneficial conversion features valued at $168,000. The allocated value of the warrants and the value of beneficial conversion features were recorded as a discount on notes payable. At the stated interest rate of 24%, we recognized approximately $293,000 of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010. For accounting purposes we also recognized approximately $193,000 of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, which is attributable to the amortization of the discount recorded on the notes. As of December 31, 2010, interest of approximately $264,000 was due and not yet paid on the $2,000,000 note. The overall theoretical return to the investors, computed taking into account the coupon, the beneficial conversion feature and the warrants, is 46.1%. |
(8) | In February 2010, we issued to an individual a zero coupon convertible promissory note with a face value of $220,000 for net proceeds of $200,000 and a maturity date in April 2010. The net proceeds of $200,000 included an issuance fee of $6,000 plus a yield of 24%. The original note was replaced with new notes in April, August and November 2010. The note holder may elect to convert all or a portion of the face value of the note into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately $99,000 of interest expense was recognized related to the accretion to its carrying value. The overall return to the investor inclusive of the issuance fee was 53.3%. At the notes maturity in November 2010, it was replaced by a new note of similar terms with a face value of $230,000 and a maturity date in February 2011. |
(9) | In September 2008 we issued to a shareholder a convertible promissory note in the amount of $200,000. Interest is payable monthly at the rate of 8.5% and the note is convertible at the option of the note holder into 800,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. The note matures in August 2011 and accordingly has been reclassified from long-term debt to note obligations due within one year at December 31, 2010. |
(10) | In March 2010, we issued to a shareholder a zero coupon convertible promissory note with a face value of $250,000 for net proceeds of $200,000 and a maturity date in May 2010. The net proceeds of $200,000 include an issuance fee of $42,000 plus a yield of 24%. In May 2010, the notes maturity was extended to July 2010 for an additional fee of 200,000 shares of our common stock, which were issued on July 9, 2010. In July 2010, the notes maturity was further extended to September 2010 for a fee of 300,000 shares of our common stock, issued on September 15, 2010. The note due in September 2010 was again extended to December 2010 in exchange for a monthly interest payment of 9% per annum. In December 2010, the note was further extended with no specified maturity date. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we accreted its carrying value approximately $8,000 to interest expense with an overall return to the investor of 14.9%, exclusive of the value of our common stock which approximates $87,000. |

(1) | During 2010 we issued senior promissory notes in exchange for certain of our subordinated debentures that had matured on April 15, 2010 but were not repaid. We also issued warrants to purchase our common stock in conjunction with the notes. We used the Black-Scholes option valuation model in determining the relative values of debt and warrants. The value of the warrants was recognized as a discount on the notes payable, which is amortized over the term of the note. The senior promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year through April 15, 2012, the maturity date of the senior promissory notes. The warrants allow for the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 6.9 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. All of the warrants have five year terms and are currently exercisable. |
(2) | The promissory note is due in August 2011 and accordingly was reclassified from long term debt at December 31, 2009 to note obligations due within one year at December 31, 2010. |

In January 2009, the purchase by Core of Hythiams ownership interest resulted in a change in control of the Company under IRS Section 382 rules. As a result, any losses incurred prior to January 20, 2009 are subject to limitations pertaining to annual usage, which approximate $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.
At December 31, 2010, the Companys federal net operating loss carryforwards total approximately $25.0 million, of which approximately $5.9 million is not subject to Section 382 limitations from previous change in control transactions. These losses were incurred in the years ended May 31, 2002 through December 31, 2010, and expire in years 2022 through 2030. The Company may be unable to utilize some or all of its allowable tax deductions or losses, depending upon factors including the availability of sufficient taxable income from which to deduct such losses during limited carryover periods.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Tax years that remain subject to examinations by tax authorities are 2009, 2008, and 2007.
After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a valuation allowance at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was necessary to fully offset the deferred tax assets based on the likelihood of future realization.
NOTE 18 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
We offer a 401(k) Plan (the Plan), which is a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for the benefit of our eligible employees. All full-time and part-time employees who have attained the age of 21 are eligible to participate in the Plan. Each participant may contribute from 2% to 50% of his or her compensation to the Plan up to the annual maximum allowed amount, which was $16,500 during 2010, subject to limitations on the highly compensated employees to ensure the Plan is non-discriminatory. Our plan year ends at May 31. Company contributions are discretionary and are determined by the Companys management. Our employer matching contributions to the Plan were $21,599, $0 and $4,316 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS
We grant stock options to our employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants (grantees) allowing grantees to purchase our common stock pursuant to stockholder-approved stock option plans. We currently have three active incentive plans, the 1995 Incentive Plan, the 2002 Incentive Plan and the 2009 Equity Compensation 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 grantees. Grants issued under the Plans may qualify as incentive stock options (ISOs) under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Options for ISOs may be granted for terms of up to ten years. The vesting of options issued under the 1995 and 2002 plans generally occurs after six months for one-half of the options and after 12 months for the remaining options. For the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan, the vesting period is determined by the Compensation Committee. 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 10,000,000 under the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan, 1,000,000 under the 2002 Incentive Plan and 1,000,000 under the 1995 Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2010, there were 8,493,400 options available for grant and 1,506,600 options outstanding, 501,600 of which were exercisable under the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan. Additionally, under the 2002 Incentive Plan, there were 25,000 options available for grant and 935,000 options were outstanding, 635,000 of which were exercisable. Finally, as of December 31, 2010, there were 69,500 options outstanding and exercisable under the 1995 Incentive Plan. 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 Directors Compensation and Stock Option Committee. Upon joining our Board of Directors, directors receive an initial grant of 25,000 options. Annually, directors are granted 15,000 options on the date of our annual meeting. As of December 31, 2010, there were 801,668 shares available for option grants and 100,000 options outstanding under the directors plan, 20,000 of which were exercisable.

During the year ended December 31, 2010 we granted 350,000 options to one employee and one consultant. Total recognized compensation costs during the year ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $165,000. As of December 31, 2010, there was approximately $467,000 of unrecognized compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years. We recognized approximately $9,000 of tax benefits attributable to stock-based compensation expense recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010. This benefit was fully offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount due to the likelihood of future realization.
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.

We recognized approximately $524,000 of compensation costs related to warrants to purchase common stock during the year ended December 31, 2010. Total unrecognized compensation costs as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $325,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.
We use historical data and management judgment to estimate the expected term of the warrant. 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 dividend yield. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve with the same expected term as that of the warrant at the time of grant. We adjusted our quoted stock price in the valuation to appropriately reflect trading restrictions on the warrants underlying asset. Valuation using the Black-Scholes pricing model was based on the following information:

We recognized approximately $199,000 of tax benefits attributable to equity-based expense recorded for warrants issued to key employees for the year ended December 31, 2010. This benefit was fully offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount due to the uncertainty of future realization.
Warrants to Purchase Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2010, there were outstanding warrants to purchase up to 390 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $50.00 per share (Series D Convertible Preferred Stock). These warrants were issued to members of our Board of Directors and certain members of management as an equity incentive to further align the interests of our directors and management with those of our stockholders. Each warrant has a three year term and may be exercised at any time to purchase shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $25,000 per share. If the market value of a share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock exceeds the exercise price for a share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, then the holder may exercise the warrant by a cashless exercise and receive the number of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock representing the net value of the warrant. The market value of a share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is equal to the product of (a) the per share market price of our common stock multiplied by (b) the number of shares of our common stock into which a share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is then convertible.
The number of shares of Series D Convertible 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 Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the warrants) of CompCare, 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 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting and to vote on any matters on which our common stock may be voted. Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes that the holder of 500,000 shares of our common stock would be entitled to by virtue of holding such shares of common stock. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will vote together with holders of common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.
Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock acquired through exercise of a warrant is convertible into 100,000 shares of our common stock at any time. For the presentation below, warrants to purchase shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are stated in common shares, as if the warrant was exercised and the resulting Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was converted. The exercise price of the warrant has been similarly adjusted to an as-converted to common stock equivalent. A summary of our warrant activity for the year ended December 30, 2010 is as follows:

WARRANTS NON-EMPLOYEES
We periodically issue warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to nonemployees such as consultants, note holders, and customers. In accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity (ASC 505-50), the transaction is measured at the fair value of the goods and services received or the fair value of the warrants issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. We estimate the fair value of warrants issued using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
For warrants that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the date of issuance, the estimated fair value is recorded in additional paid-in capital and expensed when the services are performed and benefit is received as prescribed by ASC 505-50. For unvested warrants of which fair value is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the goods and services received, we expense the change in fair value during each reporting period using the graded vesting method.
A summary of the activity of our warrants issued to non-employees for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:

OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(1) | We have insurance for a broad range of risks as it relates to our business operations. We maintain managed care errors and omissions, professional and general liability coverage. These policies are written on a claims-made basis and are subject to a $25,000 per claim self-insured retention. The managed care errors and omissions and professional liability policies include limits of liability of $1 million per claim and $3 million in the aggregate. The general liability has a limit of liability of $5 million per claim and $5 million in the aggregate. We are responsible for claims within the self-insured retentions or if the policy limits are exceeded. |
We maintain Directors and Officers and Employment Practices Liability coverages. These policies are written on a claims-made basis and are subject to a $100,000 per claim self-insured retention for all claims except Securities Claims, which are subject to a $150,000 per claim self-insured retention. The Directors and Officers policy includes a limit of liability of $5 million per claim and $5 million in the aggregate. The Employment Practices Liability Insurance policy includes a limit of liability of $3 million per claim and $3 million in the aggregate. We are responsible for claims within the self-insured retentions or if the policy limits are exceeded. Management is not aware of any claims that could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
(2) | We initiated an action against Jerry Katzman in July 2009 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida alleging that Mr. Katzman, a former director, fraudulently induced us to enter into an employment agreement and, alternatively, that Mr. Katzman breached that alleged employment agreement and was rightfully terminated. In September 2010 the matter proceeded to a trial by jury. The jury found that Mr. Katzman did not fraudulently induce CompCare to enter into the contract. The jury also found that Mr. Katzman was not entitled to damages. The Companys trial attorney believes this decision was based upon a finding that the Company had rightfully terminated Mr. Katzman. On defendants motion to amend the verdict due to inconsistency, the trial court set aside the jury verdict and awarded Mr. Katzman damages of approximately $1.3 million. In February 2010, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal, posted a collateralized appeal bond for approximately $1.3 million, and filed a motion for reconsideration. The motion for reconsideration is pending. |
(3) | On September 21, 2010, a complaint entitled InfoMC, Inc. v. Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. and CompCare de Puerto Rico, Inc. was filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging, among other things, that the Company improperly used InfoMC, Inc.s trademarks in connection with CompCare de Puerto Rico Inc.s proposal to obtain a managed behavioral healthcare services contract in Puerto Rico. The complaint asserts claims for federal trademark infringement, false advertising, unfair competition, conversion, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment. InfoMC, Inc. is seeking monetary damages in the amount of $600,000 and certain injunctive relief. The case is at the earliest stages with a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction pending. We believe the suit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations asserted. |
(4) | In connection with an agreement with a new client to provide mental health, substance abuse and pharmacy prescription drugs management services in Puerto Rico, we obtained a letter of credit from a bank in the amount of $4,000,000 for the benefit of the client to secure our compliance with our obligations under the agreement. The client may draw on all or part of the letter of credit under certain circumstances, including our lack of compliance with certain of our obligations under the agreement. Collateral for the letter of credit was provided by a major stockholder of the Company. If the client draws upon the letter of credit, we may be liable to our major stockholder for the amount of collateral accessed by the bank to fulfill its obligations under the letter of credit. |
Additionally in relation to this Puerto Rico agreement, certain of our companies, specifically the parent Comprehensive Care Corporation (CCC) and principal operating subsidiary, CBC, have executed guarantees of the payment and performance obligations of our subsidiary that is party to the agreement, CCPR. Should CCPR default on its obligations, the client will be able to seek satisfaction under the contract from CCC and CBC.

(5) | On January 5, 2011, a complaint entitled Community Hospitals of Indiana, Inc. vs. Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. and MDwise, Inc. was filed against us in the Superior Court of Marion County Circuit in Indiana. The complaint claims damages of approximately $1.7 million from us and MDwise, Inc., a former client, for allegedly unpaid claims for behavioral health professional services rendered between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract, account stated, quantum meruit and unjust enrichment against us and MDwise, Inc. The Company believes the suit is without merit and filed a Motion to Dismiss on March 2, 2011. If the suit proceeds, we intend to vigorously oppose the litigation. |
NOTE 21 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with employment agreements executed with our Chairman and CEO and our former Chief Financial Officer (CFO), we have deferred compensation payments to these individuals of approximately $233,000 and $141,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.
On September 24, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with our former Co-Chief Executive Officer, John M. Hill, in conjunction with his resignation effective of the same date. The agreement states that in exchange for payments aggregating $250,000 to be paid over the next twelve months, Mr. Hill will perform consulting services to improve the efficiency of our clinical operations. Mr. Hill is a related party to the Company by virtue of the position he held as Co-Chief Executive Officer and his ownership of more than five per cent of our common stock, calculated on a beneficial ownership basis.
On January 24, 2011, we entered into a separation agreement and consulting agreement with our former Chief Financial Officer, Giuseppe Crisafi, in conjunction with his resignation effective of the same date. The consulting agreement states that in exchange for payments aggregating $250,000 to be paid over the next 15 months, Mr. Crisafi will provide consulting services on financial matters. In addition, the separation agreement provides that Mr. Crisafi will forgo payment of his aforementioned deferred compensation balance of approximately $141,000 existing at December 31, 2010. Mr. Crisafi is a related party to the Company by virtue of the position he held as Chief Financial Officer and his ownership of more than five per cent of our common stock, calculated on a beneficial ownership basis.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, CBC utilized the services of Integra Health Management, Inc. (IHM), a company that provides behavioral and medical health management and consultative services to healthcare payers. Michael Yuhas, who served as one of our directors during 2008, founded IHM and served as its Chief Executive Officer. CBC paid IHM $94,620 for monitoring and care coordination of intensive case management patients and provided $115,967 of information technology consulting services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.
During 2008 when Hythiam held a 48.85% ownership interest in us, we accelerated our Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance efforts in order to meet Hythiams management attestation requirements for financial reporting internal controls. Hythiam paid for consulting services to accomplish our management review of such internal controls. Because this effort benefited us, we recorded a liability to Hythiam for a portion of the cost. In addition, we benefited by being included under certain of Hythiams insurance policies.

ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. |
None.
ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
As of December 31, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A control system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with the company have been detected.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2010 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
| provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and |
| provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics applicable to all of our employees, including our principal executive officers, principal financial officer, and persons performing similar functions. The text of this code of ethics can be found on our website at www.compcare-shareholders.com. We intend to post notice of any waiver from, or amendment to, any provision of our code of ethics on our website.
Audit Committee
The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors (the Board) in the oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, the identification and management of risk, and the performance of our independent auditor. As of December 31, 2010, the Audit Committee of our Board consisted of Arnold B. Finestone, (Chairman), Joshua I. Smith, and Arthur K. Yeap. The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Committee were independent as defined in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchanges listing standards and SEC Rule 10A-3, and that Dr. Finestone qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined by Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Compensation and Stock Option Committee
The purpose of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee is to determine, or recommend to the Board for determination, the direct and indirect compensation of the CEO and all other officers and to administer any incentive compensation plans from which stock options and other stock based awards may be granted. At December 31, 2010, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of our Board consisted of Arthur K. Yeap (Chairman), Sharon Kay Ray, and Arnold B. Finestone. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee held two meetings during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Governance and Nominating Committee
Our Board of Directors does not utilize a separate Governance and Nominating Committee. Instead, our full Board performs the functions that are normally the responsibility of a Governance and Nominating Committee. In considering candidates for open Board positions, diversity of background and personal experience is considered by the Board in assembling a group of individuals that will work well together in overseeing our affairs. Although we do not have a formal diversity policy, the Board considers, among other things, diverse business experiences, the candidates range of experiences with public companies, and racial and gender diversity in evaluating Board candidates. While diversity in background in directors is important, it does not necessarily outweigh other attributes or factors the Board may consider in evaluating any particular candidate.

Compensation Policies and Practices as They Relate to the Companys Risk Management
Our Board of Directors has determined that our compensation policies are not reasonably likely to create risks that would have a material adverse effect on us.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board of Directors is led by our Chairman, Mr. Marcus, who is also CEO of the Company. We believe that having our CEO serve as Chairman of the Board provides us with unified leadership and direction and strengthens the ability of the CEO to develop and implement strategic initiatives and respond efficiently to various situations. The Board is aware of the potential conflicts that may arise when an insider chairs the Board, but believes any such conflicts are offset by the fact that independent directors comprise a majority of the Board and each of the Boards committees. The committees facilitate deeper analysis of various matters and promote regular monitoring of our activities in their advisory role to the full Board. At present, the Board believes that its current structure effectively maintains independent oversight of management and that having a lead independent director is unnecessary. The Board has the ability to quickly adjust its leadership structure should business or managerial conditions change.
The Boards Role in Risk Oversight
The Board has delegated its risk oversight responsibilities to the Audit Committee which in turn relies on periodic reports from our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) committee. The ERM committee meets on an as-needed basis and is comprised of our Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) and certain vice presidents from our various functional areas. The ERM committees purpose is to identify, evaluate, monitor and propose risk mitigation strategies in response to risks that may have an adverse effect on the realization of our corporate goals. Should the Audit Committee be informed of a risk of a nature requiring discussion by the full Board, it will bring the matter before the Board at its next meeting or sooner if conditions warrant.
Compensation Consultants
We did not use any compensation consultants during 2010.
ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
We believe our long-term success is dependent on a leadership team with the integrity, skills, and dedication necessary to oversee a growing organization on a day-to-day basis. In addition, the leadership team must have the vision to anticipate and respond to future market and regulatory developments. Our executive compensation program is designed to enable us to attract, motivate and retain a senior management team with the collective and individual abilities to meet these challenges. The programs primary objective is to align executives efforts with the long-term interests of our stockholders by enhancing our reputation, financial success and capabilities.
The primary components of executive compensation for our named executive officers include a base salary and provision for an annual incentive bonus. These components are designed, in the aggregate, to be competitive with comparable organizations and to align the financial incentives for the executives with the short and long term interests of stockholders. The Board establishes the compensation packages of the executive officers.
Overview and Philosophy
The Board designs compensation plans to enable us to attract and retain outstanding executives in the healthcare industry to assist us in meeting our long-range objectives, thereby serving the interests of our stockholders. The Boards compensation philosophy is to provide rewards that (1) are linked to both our performance and individual performance, (2) align employee interests with stockholder interests, (3) are sufficient to attract and retain high-quality employees, and (4) provide a mix of cash and potential stock ownership tied to long-term as well as immediate business strategies.
70
Table of Contents
The following key principles guide the Board in structuring compensation targets and packages of executive officers and key management:
| Total annual compensation will include salary as the core compensation plus an annual bonus, if specified criteria are met, and options or warrants to purchase shares of our common or preferred stock. The value of our common stock is a function of the market price, which is an extension of stockholder interests. |
| Management development includes support of compensation opportunity structures to attract and retain individuals who can maximize the creation of stockholder value, and motivate employees to attain Company and individual objectives. |
| Recognition of individual contributions as well as our overall results toward identified business results. |
| Competitive position of both base salary and total compensation within the healthcare industry. |
Determination of Compensation
The Board determines the total compensation levels for our executive officers by considering several factors, including each executive officers role and responsibilities, how the executive officer is performing against those responsibilities, our performance, and the competitive market data applicable to each executive officers position.
In arriving at specific levels of compensation for executive officers, the Board has relied on:
| the recommendations of our CEO and our Acting CFO (but not with respect to their own compensation levels), |
| benchmarks provided by generally available compensation surveys, and |
| the experience of Board members and their knowledge of compensation paid by comparable companies or companies of similar size or generally engaged in the healthcare services business. |
We seek an appropriate relationship between executive pay and corporate performance that focuses on customer service, fairness to employees, and the generation of a reasonable return for our stockholders, all within the parameters of good corporate governance. Executive officers are entitled to customary benefits generally available to all of our employees, including group medical, dental and life insurance, and a 401(k) plan. In recognition of the importance of the role played by our key executive officers in the success of our business, we have entered into employment agreements and severance arrangements with these key executive officers to provide them with the employment security and severance deemed necessary to retain them.
Components of Executive Compensation
Base Salary. Base salaries provide our executive officers with a degree of financial certainty and stability, and are intended to be maintained at slightly above the median range of salary for similar positions at public companies that are in the same line of business as the Company and are of similar size. We seek to provide base salaries sufficient to attract and retain highly qualified executives. The Board establishes the base salaries of our executive officers and salaries are reviewed in the case of executive promotions or other significant changes in responsibilities. In each case, the Board takes into account competitive salary practices, scope of responsibilities, the results previously achieved by the executive and his or her development potential.
The Board has the responsibility to determine increases or decreases in base salaries on an individual basis. Our objective is to reward performance consistent with our overall financial performance in the context of competitive practice, including changes to an executive officers scope of responsibilities, in combination with general market trends. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to the named executive officers.
In addition to complying with the requirements of applicable employment agreements, compensation for each of the executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2010 was based on the executives performance of his or her duties and responsibilities, our performance, both financial and otherwise, and the success of the executive in managing, developing and executing our business development, sales and marketing, financing and strategic plans, as appropriate.
Signing Bonus. In filling an open senior management position, we conduct an extensive search to identify an executive that will fit our corporate culture and be best able to accomplish our goals. To attract and secure the best managerial talent, we may offer a cash signing bonus to the candidate. We may also pay signing bonuses to retain existing executives at the time a new employment agreement is executed. The amount of the signing bonus is determined by the Board at its discretion and included as a component of the executives employment agreement. During 2009, we paid an $80,000 signing bonus to Clark Marcus, our Chairman and CEO, and a $20,000 signing bonus to Robert Landis, our CAO.
Annual Incentive Bonus. Certain executive officers are eligible to receive cash bonuses based on the degree of our achievement of financial and other objectives, which are documented in each officers employment agreement. An executives performance against the objectives is evaluated annually by the Board, most often after our yearly financial results have been audited.
71
Table of Contents
The primary purpose of our annual performance incentive awards is to motivate our executives to meet or exceed our short-term and long-term performance objectives. Our annual cash bonuses are designed to reward our executive officers for their contributions toward corporate objectives.
Our Chairman of the Board and CEO, Clark Marcus, is eligible to receive a special bonus in an amount equal to one percent of the Companys pre-tax profits for a preceding year, up to the first $1 million of such profits, plus an additional sum equal to two percent of the Companys pre-tax profits for all sums over $1 million.
Our Acting CFO and CAO, Robert J. Landis, is eligible to receive an annual bonus as determined by and at the discretion of the Board.
Stock, stock options, and similar equity instruments. Equity participation is a key component of our executive compensation program. Equity awards are designed to retain executive officers and encourage recipients to pursue our continued growth and success to increase the value of their equity awards, thus aligning their financial interests with those of our stockholders. Under our 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended, and our 2009 Equity Compensation Plan (collectively, the Plans), we are able to award our employees, directors and consultants shares of common stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units. In addition, we have the ability to issue warrants for the purchase of our convertible preferred stock as an incentive equity instrument. To date, we have utilized common stock, stock options and warrants for the purchase of preferred stock as the means of providing equity participation. These instruments are intended to enable us to attract and retain key personnel and provide an effective incentive for management to create stockholder value over the long term since the value of the equity instruments depends on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
Equity incentive instruments issued to our executives during 2010 consist of 1 million shares of our common stock to each of Clark Marcus, Chairman of the Board and CEO, and Giuseppe Crisafi, our former CFO. A warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of our common stock was also issued to each of Mr. Marcus and Mr. Crisafi.
Equity incentive instruments issued during 2009 consist of 50,000 stock options issued to John Hill, our former President and Co-CEO, a warrant to purchase 100 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued to each of Clark Marcus, Chairman of the Board and CEO, and Giuseppe Crisafi, our former CFO, and a warrant to purchase 70 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued to John Hill. At the request of Mr. Marcus, we subsequently subdivided his warrant and issued three warrants for the purchase of 30 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to each of his three adult children and one warrant to Mr. Marcus for the purchase of 10 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
In certain instances, stock options may be granted to executive officers upon hiring as part of an employment package intended to attract top candidates. In the past we have not timed stock option grants in coordination with the release of material nonpublic information, nor do we plan to do so in the future. Stock option grants to employees are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, which utilizes recommendations from management in determining awards. Stock option exercise prices are determined in accordance with the Plans, which specify that the exercise price will be equal to the fair market value, as defined in the Plans, of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Such grants provide an incentive for our executives and other employees to increase our market value, as represented by our market price, as well as serving as a method for motivating and retaining our executives.
In determining to provide long-term incentive awards in the form of stock options, the Board considers cost and dilution impact, market trends relating to long-term incentive compensation and other relevant factors. The Board believes that an award of stock options more closely aligns the interests of the recipient with those of our stockholders because the recipient will only realize a return on the option if our stock price increases over the term of the option.

Limitations on the deductibility of compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Tax Code), places a limit of $1.0 million on the amount of compensation that we can deduct in any one year with respect to each of our five most highly paid executive officers. However, certain performance-based compensation as defined by Section 162(m) of the Tax Code is not subject to the deduction limit. Our Board of Directors believes that all anticipated compensation during the year ended December 31, 2010 will satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Tax Code and, as such, would be deductible for federal income tax purposes.
Compensation committee interlocks and insider participation
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the members of our Compensation Committee were Arthur K. Yeap (Chairman), Sharon Kay Ray and Arnold B. Finestone. No member of the Compensation Committee was at any time during the past year an officer or employee of the Company, was formerly an officer of the Company or any of our subsidiaries, or had any employment relationship with us.

Table of Contents
In connection with employment agreements executed with our Chairman and CEO and our former CFO, we have deferred compensation payments to these individuals of approximately $233,000 and $141,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2010. However, as part of a separation agreement, our former CFO has waved his right to his deferred compensation and a deferred bonus of $135,000.
On January 24, 2011, we entered into a separation agreement and consulting agreement with our former CFO, Giuseppe Crisafi, in conjunction with his resignation effective of the same date. The consulting agreement states that in exchange for payments aggregating $250,000 to be paid over the next 15 months, Mr. Crisafi will provide consulting services on financial matters. In addition, the separation agreement provides that Mr. Crisafi will forgo payment of his aforementioned deferred compensation balance of approximately $141,000 and a deferred bonus of $135,000 existing at December 31, 2010. Mr. Crisafi is a related party to the Company by virtue of the position he held as CFO and his ownership of more than five per cent of our common stock, calculated on a beneficial ownership basis.
On September 24, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with our former Co-Chief Executive Officer, John M. Hill, in conjunction with his resignation effective of the same date. The agreement states that in exchange for payments aggregating $250,000 to be paid over the next twelve months, Mr. Hill will perform consulting services to improve the efficiency of our clinical operations. Mr. Hill is a related party to the Company by virtue of the position he held as Co-Chief Executive Officer and his ownership of more than five per cent of our common stock, calculated on a beneficial ownership basis.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, CBC utilized the services of Integra Health Management, Inc. (IHM), a company that provides behavioral and medical health management and consultative services to healthcare payers. Michael Yuhas, who served as one of our directors during 2008, founded IHM and served as its Chief Executive Officer. CBC paid IHM $94,620 for monitoring and care coordination of intensive case management patients and provided $115,967 of information technology consulting services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.
During 2008 when Hythiam held a 48.85% ownership interest in us, we accelerated our Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance efforts in order to meet Hythiams management attestation requirements for financial reporting internal controls. Hythiam paid for consulting services to accomplish our management review of such internal controls. Because this effort benefited us, we recorded a liability to Hythiam for a portion of the cost. In addition, we benefited by being included under certain of Hythiams insurance policies.
Although we do not have a separate, written policy over the review and approval of related party transactions, the Companys authority guidelines that delineate the responsibilities of management and the Board of Directors state that all related party transactions shall be reviewed and approved by the Board. Such review procedures require management to conduct an initial review of the transaction and submit its recommendation to the full Board. The Board will then review managements recommendation, and based on such factors as materiality, business purpose, comparability to other arms-length transactions, and effect on the Companys business, will approve or deny managements request to enter into the transaction or relationship.
Director Independence
Although we are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we have used the definition of independent set forth in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards for the purpose of determining the independence of our directors and members of a committee of our Board of Directors. Such standards define an independent director, generally, as one who has no material relationship with us, has not been employed by us within the last three years, has not received compensation from us in excess of $120,000 other than director and committee fees, is not related to a person who is a partner or employee of our external auditor, is not related to any of our officers, and is not an officer or owner of a business having transactions with us that exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of our consolidated gross revenues.
The following is a list of individuals that served as a director at any point during the twelve-month period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K and that were considered independent:
Arnold B. Finestone
Joshua I. Smith
Sharon Kay Ray
Arthur K. Yeap
There were no transactions, relationships, or arrangements considered by the Board of Directors in determining that a director is independent other than those described immediately above under the caption Transactions with Related Persons.

ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES |
Audit and Related Fees
The firm of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (MHM) (formerly Kirkland, Russ, Murphy & Tapp P.A.) currently serves as our independent registered public accounting firm to perform audits and to prepare our income tax returns. The firm of Rose, Snyder & Jacobs prepared our tax returns for the 2007 tax year. The Audit Committee approved 100% of the services described below for audit, tax and related fees.
Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by MHM for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $117,000 and $91,600, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed by MHM for assurance and related services related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and not described above under Audit Fees were $24,200 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $56,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Audit-related services principally include audits of certain of our subsidiaries and our 401(k) plan.
Tax Fees. During the year ended December 31, 2010, MHM billed $24,920 to us for preparing our tax returns. During the year ended December 31, 2009, MHM billed $23,365 to us for preparation of tax returns while Rose, Snyder & Jacobs billed $6,428.
All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed by MHM for professional services other than services described under Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees above were $430 and $11,978 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, primarily for financial reporting research, work related to our merger with Core, and MHMs preparation for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The Audit Committee does not believe the provision of non-audit services by our independent registered public accounting firm impairs the ability of such firm to maintain independence with regard to the Company.
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors
The Audit Committees policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firms independence. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Management is required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. During the year ended December 31, 2010, all services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.
