Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2010

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) include the accounts of The Providence Service Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including its foreign wholly-owned subsidiary WCG International Ltd. (“WCG”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company”, “our”, “we” and “us” mean The Providence Service Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants, which the Company is required to follow. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which serves as a single source of authoritative non-SEC accounting and reporting standards to be applied by nongovernmental entities.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

2. Description of Business and Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates

Description of Business

The Company is a government outsourcing privatization company. The Company operates in the following two segments: Social Services and Non-Emergency Transportation Services (“NET Services”). As of June 30, 2010, the Company operated in 43 states, and the District of Columbia, United States, and British Columbia, Canada.

The Social Services operating segment responds to governmental privatization initiatives in adult and juvenile justice, corrections, social services, welfare systems, education and workforce development by providing home-based and community-based counseling services and foster care services to at-risk families and children. These services are purchased primarily by state, county and city levels of government, and are delivered under block purchase, cost based and fee-for-service arrangements. The Company also contracts with not-for-profit organizations to provide management services for a fee.

The NET Services operating segment provides non-emergency transportation management services, primarily to Medicaid beneficiaries. The entities that pay for non-emergency medical transportation services primarily include state Medicaid programs, health maintenance organizations and commercial insurers. Most of the Company’s non-emergency medical transportation services are delivered under capitated contracts where the Company assumes the responsibility of meeting the transportation needs of a specific geographic population.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Contracts with governmental agencies and other entities that contract with governmental agencies accounted for approximately 81% and 82% of the Company’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The related contracts are subject to possible statutory and regulatory changes, rate adjustments, administrative rulings, rate freezes and funding reductions. Reductions in amounts paid under these contracts for the Company’s services or changes in methods or regulations governing payments for the Company’s services could materially adversely affect its revenue and profitability.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, the Company conducted a portion of its operations in Canada through WCG. At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, approximately $13.9 million, or 22.2%, and $13.6 million, or 17.1%, of the Company’s net assets, respectively, were located in Canada. In addition, approximately $10.9 million, or 2.9%, and $11.6 million, or 2.6%, of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, was generated from the Company’s Canadian operations. The Company is subject to the risks inherent in conducting business across national boundaries, any one of which could adversely impact its business. In addition to currency fluctuations, these risks include, among other things: (i) economic downturns; (ii) changes in or interpretations of local law, governmental policy or regulation; (iii) restrictions on the transfer of funds into or out of the country; (iv) varying tax systems; (v) delays from doing business with governmental agencies; (vi) nationalization of foreign assets; and (vii) government protectionism. The Company intends to continue to evaluate opportunities to establish additional operations in Canada. One or more of the foregoing factors could impair the Company’s current or future Canadian operations and, as a result, harm its overall business.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of WCG are measured using WCG’s local currency (Canadian Dollar) as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of WCG have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. At present and for the foreseeable future, the Company intends to reinvest any undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiary in foreign operations. As a result, the Company is not providing for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes on its foreign subsidiary’s undistributed earnings. Generally, such earnings become subject to U.S. tax upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability for temporary differences that are essentially permanent in duration on such undistributed earnings.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company holds a derivative financial instrument for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk. The type of risk hedged relates to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in interest rates applied to the Company’s floating rate long-term debt. The Company documented its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and will continue to assess its effectiveness during the term of the hedge. The Company has designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815-Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).

Derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments are reported at fair value. The Company measures hedge effectiveness by formally assessing, at least quarterly, the correlation of the expected future cash flows of the hedged item and the derivative hedging instrument. The gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge (i.e. change in fair value) is reported as a component of other comprehensive income. The remaining gain or loss of the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in earnings. The fair value of the cash flow hedging instrument was a liability of approximately $372,000 and $41,000 as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively, which was classified as “Interest rate swap” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. Investments in cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) insurance limits.

At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, approximately $4.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of cash was held by WCG and is not freely transferable without unfavorable tax consequences between the Company and WCG.

Restricted Cash

The Company had approximately $14.1 million and $17.3 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively, as follows:


	December 31, 2009		June 30, 2010
Collateral for letters of credit—Contractual obligations	$	418,000	$	418,000
Contractual obligations		786,801		832,959

Subtotal restricted cash for contractual obligations		1,204,801		1,250,959

Collateral for letters of credit—Reinsured claims losses		4,041,000		4,808,921
Escrow—Reinsured claims losses		8,849,733		11,243,329

Subtotal restricted cash for reinsured claims losses		12,890,733		16,052,250

Total restricted cash		14,095,534		17,303,209
Less current portion		8,153,610		8,224,961

	$	5,941,924	$	9,078,248

Of the restricted cash amount at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010:

•

$418,000 served as collateral for irrevocable standby letters of credit that provide financial assurance that the Company will fulfill certain contractual obligations;

•

approximately $787,000 and $833,000 was held to fund the Company’s obligations under arrangements with various governmental agencies through the correctional services business acquired by the Company in 2006 (“Correctional Services”) at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively;

•

approximately $4.0 million and $4.8 million served as collateral for irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure any reinsured claims losses under the Company’s general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance programs and was classified as noncurrent assets in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively;

•

approximately $1.6 million and $4.0 million was restricted and held in trust for reinsurance claims losses under the Company’s general and professional liability reinsurance program at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively; and

•

approximately $7.2 million was restricted in relation to the services provided by a captive insurance subsidiary (acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Charter LCI Corporation in 2007).

At June 30, 2010, approximately $5.2 million, $4.0 million, $7.0 million and $250,000 of the restricted cash was held in custody by the Bank of Tucson, Wells Fargo, Fifth Third Bank and Bank of America, respectively. The cash is restricted as to withdrawal or use and is currently invested in certificates of deposit or short-term marketable securities. The remaining balance of approximately $833,000 is also restricted as to withdrawal or use, and is currently held in various non-interest bearing bank accounts related to Correctional Services.

Non-Controlling Interest

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of WCG in August 2007, PSC of Canada Exchange Corp. (“PSC”), a subsidiary established by the Company to facilitate the purchase of all of the equity interest in WCG, issued 287,576 exchangeable shares as part of the purchase price consideration. The exchangeable shares were valued at approximately $7.8 million in accordance with the provisions of the purchase agreement ($7.6 million for accounting purposes). For accounting purposes, the value of the exchangeable shares issued by PSC was determined based upon the product of the average market price for the Company’s common stock for the five trading days ended August 3, 2007 of $26.59 and 287,576 shares issued. The shares are exchangeable at each shareholder’s option, for no additional consideration, into shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis (“Exchangeable Shares”). Of the 287,576 Exchangeable Shares, 25,882 were exchanged as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010.

The Exchangeable Shares are non-participating such that they are not entitled to any allocation of income or loss of PSC. The Exchangeable Shares represent ownership in PSC and are accounted for as “Non-controlling interest” included in stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010.

The Exchangeable Shares and the 25,882 shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon the exchange of the same number of Exchangeable Shares noted above are subject to a Settlement and Indemnification Agreement dated November 17, 2009 (“Indemnification Agreement”) by and between the Company and the sellers of WCG. The Indemnification Agreement secures the Company’s claims for indemnification and associated rights and remedies provided by the Share Purchase Agreement (under which the Company acquired all of the equity interest in WCG on August 1, 2007) arising from actions taken by British Columbia to strictly enforce a contractually imposed revenue cap on a per client basis and contractually mandated pass-throughs subsequent to August 1, 2007. The actions taken by British Columbia resulted in an approximate CAD $3.0 million dispute and termination of one of its six provincial contracts with WCG, which the Company is disputing. Under the Indemnification Agreement, the sellers have agreed to transfer their rights to the Exchangeable Shares and 25,882 shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon the exchange of the same number of Exchangeable Shares to the Company to indemnify the Company against any losses suffered by the Company as the result of an unfavorable ruling upon the conclusion of arbitration.

Effective April 14, 2010, an arbitrator issued an award with respect to the dispute between WCG and British Columbia regarding British Columbia’s actions to strictly enforce a contractually imposed revenue cap on a per client basis and contractually mandated pass-throughs subsequent to August 1, 2007. Under the arbitration award, essentially all amounts disputed shall be paid to WCG (except for approximately $13,000 CAD which will be subject to the terms of the Indemnification Agreement) plus interest. The award affirmed the termination of one of the six provincial contracts that had been terminated effective October 31, 2008. British Columbia subsequently filed a petition for leave to appeal the arbitration award. There is no financial statement impact related to this event included in our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

Stock-based compensation expense charged against income for stock options and stock grants for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was based on the grant-date fair value adjusted for estimated forfeitures based on awards expected to vest in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718-Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and totaled approximately $60,000 (net of tax of $2,000) and $228,000 (net of tax of $150,000), respectively. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised as necessary in subsequent periods if the actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, the amount of excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options was approximately $36,000 and $53,000. These amounts are reflected as cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

As of June 30, 2010, there was approximately $7.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”). The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.65 years.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company has made a number of estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Company based its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Some of the more significant estimates impact revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, accrued transportation costs, accounting for management agreement relationships, loss reserves for reinsurance and self-funded insurance programs, stock-based compensation, foreign currency translation, derivative instruments and hedging activities and income taxes.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-17-Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2009-17”). ASU 2009-17 amends the guidance on variable interest entities in ASC Topic 810-Consolidation related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. It requires reporting entities to evaluate former qualifying special purpose entities (“QSPEs”) for consolidation, changes the approach to determining a variable interest entity’s (“VIE”) primary beneficiary from a quantitative assessment to a qualitative assessment designed to identify a controlling financial interest, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. It also clarifies, but does not significantly change, the characteristics that identify a VIE. This ASU requires additional year-end and interim disclosures for public and nonpublic companies that are similar to the disclosures required by ASC paragraphs 810-10-50-8 through 50-19 and 860-10-50-3 through 50-9. ASU 2009-17 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU 2009-17. The adoption of ASU 2009-17 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 amends certain disclosure requirements of Subtopic 820-10 and provides additional disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels I and II and for activity in Level III. This ASU also clarifies certain other existing disclosure requirements including level of desegregation and disclosures around inputs and valuation techniques. The final amendments to the ASC will be effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis. That requirement will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2010-06 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial

adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 as of January 1, 2010 with respect to the provisions required to be adopted as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of these provisions of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that the provisions of ASU 2010-06 that are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-08-Technical Corrections to Various Topics (“ASU 2010-08”). ASU 2010-08 is the result of the FASB’s review of its standards to determine if any provisions are outdated, contain inconsistencies, or need clarifications to reflect the FASB’s original intent. The FASB believes the amendments do not fundamentally change U.S. GAAP. However, certain clarifications on embedded derivatives and hedging (Subtopic 815-15) may cause a change in the application of that Subtopic and special transition provisions are provided for those amendments. The ASU contains various effective dates. The clarifications of the guidance on embedded derivatives and hedging (Subtopic 815-15) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009. The amendments to the guidance on accounting for income taxes in a reorganization (Subtopic 852-740) applies to reorganizations for which the date of the reorganization is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. All other amendments are effective as of the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after February 2, 2010. On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU 2010-08. The adoption of ASU 2010-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In October, 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13-Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 amends ASC Subtopic 650-25 to eliminate the requirement that all undelivered elements have vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third party evidence (“TPE”) before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. The overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entity’s estimated selling price. Application of the “residual method” of allocating an overall arrangement fee between delivered and undelivered elements will no longer be permitted upon adoption of ASU 2009-13. Additionally, the new guidance will require entities to disclose more information about their multiple-element revenue arrangements. The ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a company elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of its fiscal year, the requirements must be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year. Retrospective application to prior years is an option, but is not required. In the initial year of application, companies are required to make qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the impact of the changes. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2009-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards and exposure drafts, such as exposure drafts related to revenue recognition, loss contingencies, comprehensive income and fair value measurements, that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are being evaluated by the Company to determine whether adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820-Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs

are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010:


				Fair Value Measurement Using
	Total Carrying Value			Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swap at December 31, 2009	$	(372,408	)	$	—	$	(372,408	)	$	—

Interest rate swap at June 30, 2010	$	(41,485	)	$	—	$	(41,485	)	$	—

The Company’s interest rate swap is carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis. The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. Level 2 inputs for the swap valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., LIBOR cash and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals as published by Bloomberg on the last day of the period for financial institutions with the same credit rating as the counterparty). Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. Key inputs, including the cash rates for short term, futures rates and swap rates beyond the derivative maturity are used to interpolate the spot rates at the three month rate resets specified by each swap. A credit default swap rate based on the current credit rating of the counterparty is applied to all cash flows when the swap is in an asset position. The Company uses the floating rate factor related to its variable rate debt (6.5%) to discount all cash flows when the derivative is in a liability position to reflect the potential credit risk to lenders.

4. Other Receivables

At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, insurance premiums of approximately $3.3 million and $6.1 million, respectively, were receivable from third parties related to the reinsurance activities of the Company’s two captive subsidiaries. The insurance premiums receivable is classified as “Other receivables” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company’s expected losses related to workers’ compensation and general and professional liability in excess of the Company’s liability under its associated reinsurance programs at June 30, 2010 were approximately $2.5 million, of which approximately $652,000 was classified as “Other receivables” and approximately $1.9 million was classified as “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s expected losses related to workers’ compensation and general and professional liability in excess of the Company’s liability under its associated reinsurance programs at December 31, 2009 were approximately $2.3 million, of which approximately $805,000 was classified as “Other receivables” and approximately $1.5 million was classified as “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded a corresponding liability, which offset these expected losses. This liability was classified as “Reinsurance liability reserve” in current liabilities and “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

	$	186,732,342	$	173,247,015

On January 7, 2010, the Board authorized a voluntary prepayment on the term loan under the Credit and Guaranty Agreement with CIT Healthcare and the lenders party thereto, as amended (“Credit Agreement”) of $5.0 million. The prepayment was made on January 11, 2010.

The carrying amount of the long-term obligations approximated its fair value at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010. The fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations was estimated based on interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having same or similar remaining maturities and collateral requirements.

7. Interest Rate Swap

In February 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to convert a portion of its floating rate long-term debt expense to fixed rate debt expense. The purpose of this instrument was to hedge the variability of the Company’s future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in interest rates applied to its floating rate long-term debt. The Company held this derivative only for the purpose of hedging such risks, not for speculation. Under the swap agreement, the Company paid 3.026% and received three-month LIBOR on a notional amount of $86.5 million through February 2010. The Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815. Prior to amending the Company’s Credit Agreement, the Company anticipated that it would not be in compliance with certain financial covenants as of December 31, 2008. As a result, during the first quarter of 2009, the Company’s long-term debt was converted from a LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement beginning February 27, 2009 through April 1, 2009. The swap was de-designated and all changes in the fair value of the swap from the last effective date (January 31, 2009) were recognized in earnings. Additionally, the balance in other comprehensive loss at January 31, 2009 was recognized to income ratably through the maturity date of the swap in February 2010. On March 31, 2009, the swap was re-designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815 and beginning April 2, 2009 the Company’s long-term debt was converted from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan.

Upon the expiration of the interest rate swap discussed above, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap to convert its floating rate long-term debt to fixed rate debt effective March 11, 2010. The purpose of this instrument is to hedge the variability of the Company’s future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in interest rates applied to its floating rate long-term debt. The Company holds this derivative only for the purpose of hedging such risks, not for speculation. The Company entered into the interest rate swap with a notional amount of $63.4 million maturing on December 13, 2010. Under the swap agreement, the Company receives interest equivalent to one-month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of interest of .58% with settlement occurring monthly. The Company has designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815. Additionally, the swap’s effectiveness is evaluated monthly and effective gains and losses are accumulated in other comprehensive loss until the hedged interest expense is accrued.

The fair value amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, related to the Company’s interest rate swap were as follows:


	Liability Derivatives
	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
		December 31, 2009		June 30, 2010
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815
Interest rate contracts	Interest rate swap	$	372,408	$	41,485

Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815		$	372,408	$	41,485

Total derivatives		$	372,408	$	41,485

The derivative gains and losses in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, related to the Company’s interest rate swap were as follows:

8. Business Segments

The Company’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its services lines. After the consummation of the acquisition of Charter LCI Corporation, including its subsidiaries, in December 2007 (“LogistiCare”), the Company operates in two reportable segments: Social Services and NET Services. The Company operates these reportable segments as separate divisions and differentiates the segments based on the nature of the services they offer. The following describes each of the Company’s segments and its corporate services area.

Social Services. Social Services includes government sponsored social services consisting of home and community based counseling, foster care and not-for-profit management services. Through Social Services the Company provides services to a common customer group, principally individuals and families. All of the operating entities within Social Services follow similar operating procedures and methods in managing their operations and each operating entity works within a similar regulatory environment, primarily under Medicaid regulations. The Company manages the activities of Social Services by actual to

budget comparisons within each operating entity rather than by comparison between entities. The Company’s budget related to Social Services is prepared on an entity-by-entity basis which represents the aggregation of individual location operating budgets within each Social Services entity and is comprised of:

•

Payer specific revenue streams based upon contracted amounts;

•

Payroll and related employee expenses by position corresponding to the contracted revenue streams; and

•

Other operating expenses such as facilities costs, employee training, mileage and communications in support of operations.

The actual operating contribution margins of the operating entities that comprise Social Services ranged from approximately 4% to 16% as of December 31, 2009. The Company believes that the long term operating contribution margins of the operating entities that comprise Social Services will approximate between 8% and 12% as the respective entities’ markets mature, the Company cross sells its services within markets, and standardizes its operating model among entities including acquisitions.

In evaluating the financial performance and economic characteristics of Social Services, the Company’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews the following types of financial and non-financial information for each operating entity within Social Services:

•

Consolidated financial statements;

•

Separate condensed financial statements for each individual operating entity versus their budget;

•

Monthly non-financial statistical information;

•

Productivity reports; and

•

Payroll reports.

While the Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates performance in comparison to budget based on the operating results of the individual operating entities within Social Services, the operating entities are aggregated into one reporting segment for financial reporting purposes because the Company believes that the operating entities exhibit similar long term financial performance. In conjunction with the financial performance trends, the Company believes the similar qualitative characteristics of the operating entities it aggregates within Social Services and budgetary constraints of the Company’s payers in each market provide a foundation to conclude that the entities that the Company aggregates within Social Services have similar economic characteristics. Thus, the Company believes the economic characteristics of its operating entities within Social Services meet the criteria for aggregation into a single reporting segment under ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”.

NET Services. NET Services includes managing the delivery of non-emergency transportation services. The Company operates NET Services as a separate division of the Company with operational management and service offerings distinct from the Company’s Social Services operating segment. Financial and operating performance reporting is conducted at a contract level and reviewed weekly at both the operating entity level as well as the corporate level by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. Gross margin performance of individual contracts is consolidated under the associated operating entity and direct general and administrative expenses are allocated to the operating entity.

Corporate. Corporate includes corporate accounting and finance, information technology, internal audit, employee training, legal and various other overhead costs, all of which are directly allocated to the operating segments.

Segment asset disclosures include property and equipment and other intangible assets. The accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as those of the consolidated Company. The Company evaluates performance based on operating income. Operating income is revenue less operating expenses (including client service expense, cost of non-emergency transportation services, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization) but is not affected by other income/expense or by income taxes. Other income/expense consists principally of interest expense and interest income. In calculating operating income for each segment, general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to each segment based upon their relative direct expense levels excluding costs for purchased services. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The following table sets forth certain financial information attributable to the Company’s business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010. In addition, none of the segments have significant non-cash items other than depreciation and amortization in reported income.

9. Stockholders’ Equity and Other Comprehensive Income

The Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 40,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 437,711 shares of the Company’s common stock under its 2006 Plan at exercise prices equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The options were granted to the non-employee members of its board of directors, executive officers and certain key employees. The options vest in equal installments at various times over the next three years and have a term of ten years. The weighted-average fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $12.23 per share.

The Company granted a total of 74,101 shares of restricted stock to certain executive officers and non-employee directors of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2010. These awards vest in equal installments at various times over the next three years. The weighted-average fair value of the restricted stock awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $16.88 per share.

The Company issued 666 shares of its common stock to its employees upon the vesting of certain restricted stock awards granted in 2009 under the Company’s 2006 Plan.

At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, there were 13,521,959 and 13,560,624 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, respectively, (including 619,768 treasury shares at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010) and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Other comprehensive income included foreign currency translation adjustments which amounted to a gain of approximately $3,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, other comprehensive income included an aggregate gain of approximately $161,000, net of tax, which resulted from the accounting for the Company’s interest rate swaps for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The components of comprehensive income, net of taxes, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 were as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,
	2009		2010			2009		2010
Net income	$	5,250,334	$	7,276,768		$	11,126,990	$	16,383,864

10. Earnings Per Share

The following table details the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2009		2010		2009		2010
Numerator:
Net income, basic	$	5,250,334	$	7,276,768	$	11,126,990	$	16,383,864
Effect of interest related to the convertible debt		—		735,501		—		1,471,002

Net income available to common stockholders, diluted	$	5,250,334	$	8,012,269	$	11,126,990	$	17,854,866
Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share — weighted-average shares		13,120,345		13,192,592		13,117,697		13,179,759
Effect of dilutive securities:
Common stock options and restricted stock awards		86,985		93,972		72,253		92,368
Notes		—		1,678,740		—		1,678,740

Denominator for diluted earnings per share — adjusted weighted-average shares assumed conversion		13,207,330		14,965,304		13,189,950		14,950,867

Basic earnings per share	$	0.40	$	0.55	$	0.85	$	1.24

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.40	$	0.54	$	0.84	$	1.19

The effect of issuing 1,678,740 shares of common stock on an assumed conversion basis related to the Company’s 6.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as they have a dilutive effect. In addition, the effect of issuing 1,678,740 shares of common stock on an assumed conversion basis related to the Notes was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for

the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 as it would have been antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, employee stock options to purchase 1,308 and 1,803 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per shares as the exercise price of these options was greater than the average fair value of the common stock for the period and, therefore, the effect of these options would have been antidilutive.

11. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was 43.9% and 42.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was 39.2% and 39.8%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state income taxes.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

The Company has two deferred compensation plans for management and highly compensated employees. These deferred compensation plans are unfunded; therefore, benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company. The total of participant deferrals, which is reflected in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $457,000 and $471,000 at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

The Company may be obligated to pay an amount up to $650,000 to the sellers under an earn out provision pursuant to a formula specified in an asset purchase agreement dated July 1, 2009 by which the Company acquired certain assets of an entity located in California. The earn out payment as such term is defined in the asset purchase agreement, if earned, will be paid in cash. The earn out period ends on December 31, 2013. If the contingency is resolved in accordance with the related provisions of the asset purchase agreement and the additional consideration becomes distributable, the Company will record the fair value of the consideration issued as an additional cost to acquire the associated assets, which will be charged to earnings.

13. Transactions with Related Parties

The plane is available for use related to the Company’s business only when commercial flights are not practical.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 as well as our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Overview of our business

We provide government sponsored social services directly and through not-for-profit social services organizations whose operations we manage, and we arrange for and manage non-emergency transportation services. As a result of and in response to the large and growing population of eligible beneficiaries of government sponsored social services and non-emergency transportation services, increasing pressure on governments to control costs and increasing acceptance of privatized social services, we have grown both organically and by consummating strategic acquisitions.

We believe our business model of not owning beds or fleets of vehicles enables us to be nimble in the face of recent uncertain market conditions. We are focused on legislative trends both at the federal and state levels as the federal government has enacted healthcare reform legislation. We believe that the passage of healthcare reform legislation in the first quarter of 2010 could accelerate the demand for our services. In addition, we appointed a chief strategy officer in February 2010, who will be responsible for identifying new markets and new opportunities, develop and execute business and marketing plans and assist our field offices in initiating strategies designed to align local operations with developing payer funding initiatives.

While we believe we are well positioned to benefit from recent healthcare reform legislation and to offer our services to a growing population of individuals eligible to receive our services, there can be no assurances that programs under which we provide our services will receive continued or increased funding. Additionally, there can be no assurance of when the legislation will be implemented or when, and if, we will see any positive impact.

Based on the results of the 2010-2011 contract renewal cycle completed in July 2010, we expect an overall net gain in contract value for this cycle primarily due to anticipated volume increases. All but one of our social services contracts have been renewed with relatively stable rates overall and we anticipate increases in volume. In addition, all but one of our non-emergency transportation management services contracts have been renewed. We anticipate that the impact of loss of the contracts not renewed for the year ending December 31, 2010 will be partially offset by new contract wins in other markets, volume increases and better than expected performance for the first six months of 2010. In addition, with respect to the non-emergency transportation management services contract not renewed in 2010, we are protesting the process under which this contract was rebid.

As of June 30, 2010, we provided social services directly to over 60,000 clients, and had approximately 8.0 million individuals eligible to receive services under our non-emergency transportation services contracts. We provided services to these clients from over 300 locations in 43 states, the District of Columbia and British Columbia.

Our working capital requirements are primarily funded by cash from operations and borrowings from our credit facility, which provides funding for general corporate purposes and acquisitions. We remain focused on reducing our debt and in January 2010 we prepaid $5.0 million of our term loan debt under the credit and guaranty agreement, as amended, as more fully described below under the heading entitled “Liquidity and capital resources.”

Critical accounting estimates

In preparing our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reflected in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those policies most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting policies pertain to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, accrued transportation costs, accounting for management agreement relationships, loss reserves for certain reinsurance and self-funded insurance programs, stock-based compensation, foreign currency translation, derivative instruments and hedging activities and income taxes.

As of June 30, 2010, there has been no change in our accounting policies or the underlying assumptions or methodology used to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered by this report. In addition, no triggering events have come to our attention pursuant to our review of goodwill and long-lived assets that would indicate impairment of these assets as of June 30, 2010.

For further discussion of our critical accounting policies see management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Results of operations

Segment reporting. Our operations are organized and reviewed by our chief operating decision maker along our service lines in two reportable segments (i.e., Social Services and NET Services). We operate these reportable segments as separate divisions and differentiate the segments based on the nature of the services they offer. The following describes each of our segments.

Social Services

Social Services includes government sponsored social services consisting of home and community based counseling, foster care and not-for-profit management services. Our operating entities within Social Services provide services to a common customer group, principally individuals and families. All of our operating entities within Social Services follow similar operating procedures and methods in managing their operations and each operating entity works within a similar regulatory environment, primarily under Medicaid regulations. We manage our operating activities within Social Services by actual to budget comparisons within each operating entity rather than by comparison between entities.

The actual operating contribution margins of the operating entities that comprise Social Services ranged from approximately 4% to 16% as of December 31, 2009. We believe that the long term operating contribution margins of our operating entities that comprise Social Services will approximate between 8% and 12% as the respective entities’ markets mature, we cross sell our services within markets, and standardize our operating model among entities including acquisitions.

Our chief operating decision maker regularly reviews financial and non-financial information for each individual entity within Social Services. While financial performance in comparison to budget is evaluated on an entity-by-entity basis, our operating entities comprising Social Services are aggregated into one reporting segment for financial reporting purposes because we believe that the operating entities exhibit similar long term financial performance. In addition, our revenues, costs and contribution margins are not significantly affected by allocating more or less resources to individual operating entities within Social Services because the economic characteristics of our business are substantially dependent upon individualized market demographics which affect the amount and type of services in demand as well as our

cost structure (primarily payroll and related costs) and contract rates with payers. In conjunction with the financial performance trends, we believe the similar qualitative characteristics of the operating entities we aggregate within Social Services and budgetary constraints of our payers in each market provide a foundation to conclude that the entities that we aggregate within Social Services have similar economic characteristics. Thus, we believe the economic characteristics of our operating entities within Social Services meet the criteria for aggregation into a single reporting segment under Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 280-Segment Reporting.

NET Services

NET Services includes managing the delivery of non-emergency transportation services. We operate NET Services as a separate division with operational management and service offerings distinct from our Social Services operating segment. Financial and operating performance reporting is conducted at a contract level and reviewed weekly at both the operating entity level as well as the corporate level by our chief operating decision maker. Gross margin performance of individual contracts is consolidated under the associated operating entity and direct general and administrative expenses are allocated to the operating entity.

The following table sets forth the percentage of consolidated total revenues represented by items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

Overview of our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010

Our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 were favorably impacted by continued increases in Medicaid enrollment, our preferred provider status we enjoy in many of our markets, effective cost management and relatively stable rates overall. We believe the trend away from the more expensive out of home providers in favor of home and community based delivery systems like ours will continue.

Our non-emergency transportation services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same six month period one year ago was favorably impacted by the ramp up of significant contracts awarded to our NET Services operating segment during 2009, continued membership increases related to new and existing contracts, as well as expansion into commercial ambulance management services with some of the existing entities with which we contract for services, and negotiated rate increases throughout a number of contracts due to increased utilization, program enhancements and future projected program costs. In addition, lower than anticipated utilization rates for our NET Services, continued focus on reducing unit cost through lower cost transportation alternatives and our continued success in gaining operating efficiencies by leveraging existing infrastructure and back-office support to provide services under new contracts resulted in improved operating margin for the first half of 2010 as compared to the first half of 2009.

In the first quarter of 2010, we began phasing out the wage freeze that was in effect during 2009. We are providing our employees with wage increases based on our compensation policy which will result in increased payroll expense for 2010 in comparison to 2009.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

Revenues


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Percent change
	2009		2010		Percent change
Home and community based services	$	74,501,279	$	76,550,034	2.7	%
Foster care services		9,445,616		9,272,298	-1.8	%
Management fees		3,736,046		3,384,862	-9.4	%
Non-emergency transportation services		104,149,003		133,113,251	27.8	%

Total revenues	$	191,831,944	$	222,320,445	15.9	%

Home and community based services. Our home and community based services provided additional revenue of approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to additional client volume from contracts that began subsequent to June 30, 2009 and increases in contract rate amounts, partially offset by rate reductions and reduced service authorizations under various other contracts.

Foster care services. Our foster care services revenue remained relatively consistent between the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010.

Management fees. Revenue for entities we manage but do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes (managed entity revenue) decreased to $53.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $57.4 million for the same three month period last year. The decrease in management fees for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to one of our managed entities disposing of assets that resulted in less revenue earned by the entity. Our management fees are based on the managed entity’s revenue and resulted in a decrease in our management fees.

portion of this revenue was generated under capitated contracts where we assumed the responsibility of meeting the transportation needs of a specific geographic population. Due to the fixed revenue stream and variable expense base structure of our NET Services operating segment, expenses related to this segment vary with seasonal fluctuations. We expect our operating results will continuously fluctuate on a quarterly basis.

Operating expenses

Client service expense. Client service expense included the following for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010:


	Three months ended June 30,				Percent change
	2009		2010		Percent change
Payroll and related costs	$	48,681,319	$	52,182,239	7.2	%
Purchased services		8,578,606		8,828,608	2.9	%
Other operating expenses		12,166,459		12,811,720	5.3	%
Stock-based compensation		55,637		41,275	-25.8	%

Total client service expense	$	69,482,021	$	73,863,842	6.3	%

Payroll and related costs. Our payroll and related costs increased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same three month period one year ago as we began to lift the wage freeze that was initiated for 2009 and added new employees to service our revenue growth. As a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, payroll and related costs increased from 55.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 58.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Purchased services. We subcontract with a network of providers for a portion of the workforce development services we provide throughout British Columbia. In addition, we incur a variety of other support service expenses in the normal course of business. The increase in purchased services for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily related to an increase in expenses for foster parent payments, pharmacy payments, out-of-home placements and behavioral health services of approximately $876,000 attributable to an increase in client volume during 2010. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of approximately $626,000 related to our workforce development services in British Columbia due to our decreased use of reimbursed third-party services. As a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, purchased services increased slightly from 9.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Other operating expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, other operating expenses increased over the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was partially due to the contract and client growth since June 30, 2009 which resulted in increased expenses for client related costs, conferences and training, professional fees and the procurement of technology equipment. Additionally, an increase in other operating expenses of approximately $363,000 resulted from the reclassification of expenses related to activities of one of our captive insurance subsidiaries from general and administrative expense to client service expense in 2010. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of approximately $314,000 and a decrease in temporary labor of approximately $645,000 primarily related to a workforce development contract under which we no longer incur temporary labor costs. As a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, other operating expenses increased from 13.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 14.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation of approximately $41,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 represents the amortization of the fair value of stock options awarded to key employees since January 1, 2009 under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or 2006 Plan.

Cost of non-emergency transportation services.


	Three months ended June 30,				Percent Change
	2009		2010		Percent Change
Payroll and related costs	$	11,906,568	$	13,382,004	12.4	%
Purchased services		77,715,449		97,950,997	26.0	%
Other operating expenses		5,600,856		5,134,598	-8.3	%
Stock-based compensation		—		94,298

Total cost of non-emergency transportation services	$	95,222,873	$	116,561,897	22.4	%

Payroll and related costs. The increase in payroll and related costs of our NET Services operating segment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same three month period in 2009 was due to the elimination of the wage freeze that was initiated for 2009 as well as the addition of administrative staff and other employees to support our growth, the largest of which related to the opening on July 1, 2009 of our Edison, New Jersey Call Center in support of our new Medicaid contract. As a percentage of NET Services revenue, payroll and related costs decreased from 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 10.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Purchased services. Through our NET Services operating segment we subcontract with third party transportation providers to provide non-emergency transportation services to our clients. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, purchased transportation costs increased due to services provided under new contracts as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of NET Services revenue, purchased services decreased from approximately 74.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to approximately 73.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Lower unit cost due to a positive shift in the service mix to lower cost modes such as mass transit during the three months ended June 30, 2010 resulted in lower purchased services expense as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses of our NET Services operating segment did not fluctuate significantly for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same three month period one year ago. However, as a percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased from 5.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 3.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was due to efficiencies and economies of scale created through the assignment of new managed care and commercial ambulance business to existing call centers, in particular, our Phoenix, Arizona center.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $94,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 represents the amortization of the fair value of stock options awarded to employees of our NET Services operating segment since January 1, 2009 under our 2006 Plan.

General and administrative expense.


Three months ended June 30,			Percent change
2009	2010		Percent change
$10,056,177	$	11,779,609	17.1	%

The increase in corporate administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily a result of an increase in compensation expense related to incentive compensation that was accrued for the three months ended June 30, 2010 totaling approximately $989,000. An increase in rent expense of approximately $413,000 also contributed to the increase in general and administrative expense as a result of the growth of our operations. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense increased slightly from 5.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 5.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Depreciation and amortization.


Three months ended June 30,			Percent change
2009	2010		Percent change
$3,096,558	$	3,126,375	1.0	%

As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization was approximately 1.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 1.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Non-operating (income) expense

Interest expense. Our current and long-term debt obligations have decreased to approximately $189.5 million at June 30, 2010 from $230.6 million at June 30, 2009, which was a significant factor contributing to the decrease in our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, the changes related to our interest rate swap that occurred in March 2010 had a positive impact on interest expense.

Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was approximately $62,000 and $56,000, respectively, and resulted primarily from interest earned on interest bearing bank and money market accounts.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was 39.2% and 43.9%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% in each period primarily due to state taxes.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

Revenues


	Six Months Ended June 30,				Percent change
	2009		2010		Percent change
Home and community based services	$	147,192,019	$	153,015,514	4.0	%
Foster care services		18,393,469		18,007,566	-2.1	%
Management fees		7,328,368		6,679,807	-8.9	%
Non-emergency transportation services		205,630,255		265,576,952	29.2	%

Total revenues	$	378,544,111	$	443,279,839	17.1	%

Home and community based services. Our home and community based services provided additional revenue of approximately $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to additional client volume from contracts that began subsequent to June 30, 2009 and increases in contract rate amounts, partially offset by rate and service authorization reductions under various other contracts.

Foster care services. Our foster care services revenue remained relatively consistent between the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010.

Management fees. Revenue for entities we manage but do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes (managed entity revenue) decreased to $105.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $112.4 million for the same six month period last year. The decrease in management fees for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to one of our managed entities disposing of assets that resulted in less revenue earned by the entity. Our management fees are based on the managed entity’s revenue and resulted in a decrease in our management fees.

Non-emergency transportation services. The increase in non-emergency transportation services revenue was due to the effects of the New Jersey contract that started July 1, 2009, additional membership related to existing and new contracts, as well as expansion into commercial ambulance management services with some of the existing entities with which we contract for services in California. A significant portion of this revenue was generated under capitated contracts where we assumed the responsibility of meeting the transportation needs of a specific geographic population. Due to the fixed revenue stream and variable expense base structure of our NET Services operating segment, expenses related to this segment vary with seasonal fluctuations. We expect our operating results will continuously fluctuate on a quarterly basis.

Operating expenses

Client service expense. Client service expense included the following for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010:


	Six months ended June 30,				Percent change
	2009		2010		Percent change
Payroll and related costs	$	97,721,460	$	105,196,976	7.6	%
Purchased services		16,950,262		17,438,542	2.9	%
Other operating expenses		21,628,366		24,830,530	14.8	%
Stock-based compensation		56,410		42,205	-25.2	%

Total client service expense	$	136,356,498	$	147,508,253	8.2	%

Payroll and related costs. Our payroll and related costs increased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same six month period one year ago, as we began to lift the wage freeze that was initiated for 2009 and added new employees to service our revenue growth. As a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, payroll and related costs increased from 56.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 59.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to the addition of new employees.

Purchased services. We subcontract with a network of providers for a portion of the workforce development services we provide throughout British Columbia. In addition, we incur a variety of other support service expenses in the normal course of business. The increase in purchased services for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily related to an increase in expenses for foster parent payments, out-of-home placements and behavioral health services of approximately $1.3 million attributable to an increase in client volume during 2010. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of approximately $761,000 related to our workforce development services in British Columbia due to our decreased use of reimbursed third-party services. As a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, purchased services remained consistent at 9.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010.

Other operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, other operating expenses such as client related expenses, transportation expenses, professional services and the procurement of technology equipment increased as compared to the same prior year period due to the growth in the number of clients served in existing markets. In addition, for the allowance for doubtful accounts, we reserved an additional

amount of approximately $948,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, in relation to receivables that remained uncollected beyond 365 days per our accounting policy. There was also an increase in other operating expenses of approximately $533,000 that resulted from the reclassification of expenses related to the activities of one of our captive insurance subsidiaries from general and administrative expense to client service expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in temporary labor of approximately $991,000 primarily related to a workforce development contract for which we no longer incur temporary labor costs. As a percentage of revenue, excluding NET Services revenue, other operating expenses increased to 14.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from 12.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation of approximately $42,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 represents the amortization of the fair value of stock options awarded to key employees since January 1, 2009 under our 2006 Plan.

Cost of non-emergency transportation services.


	Six months ended June 30,				Percent Change
	2009		2010		Percent Change
Payroll and related costs	$	22,431,737	$	26,203,559	16.8	%
Purchased services		152,533,537		193,715,374	27.0	%
Other operating expenses		10,079,130		9,928,708	-1.5	%
Stock-based compensation		—		201,911

Total cost of non-emergency transportation services	$	185,044,404	$	230,049,552	24.3	%

Payroll and related costs. The increase in payroll and related costs of our NET Services operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same six month period in 2009 was due to the elimination of the wage freeze that was initiated for 2009 as well as the addition of administrative staff and other employees to support our growth, the largest of which related to the opening on July 1, 2009 of our Edison, New Jersey Call Center in support of our new Medicaid contract. As a percentage of NET Services revenue, payroll and related costs decreased from 10.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 9.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Purchased services. Through our NET Services operating segment we subcontract with a number of third party transportation providers to provide non-emergency transportation services to our clients. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, purchased transportation costs increased due to services provided under new contracts as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of NET Services revenue, purchased services decreased from approximately 74.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to approximately 72.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Lower utilization and lower unit cost due to a positive shift in the service mix to lower cost modes such as mass transit during the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted in lower purchased services expense as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses of our NET Services operating segment as a percentage of NET Services revenue decreased from 4.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 3.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was due to efficiencies and economies of scale created through the assignment of new managed care and commercial ambulance business to existing call centers, in particular, our Phoenix, Arizona center.

Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 represents the amortization of the fair value of stock options awarded to employees of our NET Services operating segment since January 1, 2009 under our 2006 Plan.

General and administrative expense.


Six months ended June 30,			Percent change
2009	2010		Percent change
$21,946,892	$	22,567,460	2.8	%

The increase in corporate administrative expenses was primarily a result of an increase in compensation expense related to incentive compensation that was accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaling approximately $1.9 million as well as an increase in rent expense of approximately $692,000 attributable to the growth of our operations. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in bank fees of approximately $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, which were primarily attributable to the 2009 amendment of the credit and guarantee agreement discussed below. Additionally, legal fees decreased approximately $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The legal fees incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2009 were primarily related to the amendment of the credit and guarantee agreement and the abandoned consent solicitation initiated by a dissident stockholder.

As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased from 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 5.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to the effect of lower incremental general and administrative expense of our NET Services operating segment relative to its total revenue contribution.

Depreciation and amortization.


Six months ended June 30,			Percent change
2009	2010		Percent change
$6,180,756	$	6,253,073	1.2	%

As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization was approximately 1.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Non-operating (income) expense

Interest expense. Decreased interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the decrease in our debt obligations. Our current and long-term debt obligations have decreased to approximately $189.5 million at June 30, 2010 from $230.6 million at June 30, 2009.

Interest income. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was approximately $178,000 and $127,000, respectively, and resulted primarily from interest earned on interest bearing bank and money market accounts.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was 39.8% and 42.7%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% in each period due primarily to state taxes.

Seasonality

Our quarterly operating results and operating cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business. In our Social Services operating segment, lower client demand for our home and community based services during the holiday and summer seasons generally results in lower revenue during those periods; however, our expenses related to the Social Services operating segment do not vary significantly with these changes. As a result, our Social Services operating segment experiences lower operating margins during the holiday and summer seasons. Our NET Services operating segment also experiences fluctuations in demand for our non-emergency transportation services during the summer, winter and holiday seasons. Due to higher demand in the summer months and lower demand in the winter and holiday seasons, coupled with a fixed revenue stream based on a per member per month based structure, our NET Services operating segment normally experiences lower operating margins in the summer season and higher operating margins in the winter and holiday seasons.

We expect quarterly fluctuations in operating results and operating cash flows to continue as a result of the seasonal demand for our home and community based services and non-emergency transportation services. As we enter new markets, we could be subject to additional seasonal variations along with any competitive response by other social services and transportation providers.

Liquidity and capital resources

Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses and debt service requirements. We expect to meet these requirements through available cash, generation of cash from our operating segments, and if necessary, our revolving credit facility, as amended.

Sources of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were primarily from operations. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $54.1 million at June 30, 2010, up from $51.2 million at December 31, 2009. Approximately $3.6 million of cash was held by WCG International Ltd. (our foreign wholly-owned subsidiary), or WCG, at June 30, 2010 and was not freely transferable without unfavorable tax consequences. We had restricted cash of approximately $14.1 million and $17.3 million at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively, related to contractual obligations and activities of our captive insurance subsidiaries and correctional services business. At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, our total debt was approximately $204.2 million and $189.5 million, respectively.

Cash flows

Operating activities. Net income of approximately $16.4 million plus non-cash depreciation, amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, provision for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes and other items of approximately $11.4 million was partially offset by the growth of our billed and unbilled accounts receivable of approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The growth of our billed and unbilled accounts receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was mostly due to revenue growth.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash flow from operating activities totaled approximately $24.8 million. Increases in other receivables, primarily related to insurance premiums receivable, resulted in a decrease in cash provided by operations of approximately $3.2 million. Prepaid expenses and other assets increased, which resulted in a decrease in cash flow from operations of approximately $5.8 million. The increase in prepaid expenses was primarily due to prepayments of workers’ compensation and general and professional liability insurance premiums made during the second quarter of 2010. Restricted cash related to the collection activities of the correctional services business resulted in additional cash used in operating activities of approximately $46,000. Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued transportation costs resulted in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $8.3 million, while decreases in deferred revenue resulted in cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.6 million. Reinsurance liability reserves related to our reinsurance programs increased resulting in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $2.5 million as we added the NET services operating segment to our self-insured workers’ compensation and general and professional liability programs.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We spent approximately $4.2 million for property and equipment to support the growth of our operations. Additionally, changes in restricted cash, primarily related to cash held in trust for reinsurance claims losses, resulted in cash used in investing activities of approximately $3.2 million.

Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We repaid approximately $14.7 million of long-term debt during this period, which included a voluntary prepayment of $5.0 million in January 2010. Additionally, we generated proceeds from the exercise of stock options of approximately $278,000.

Exchange rate change. The effect of exchange rate changes on our cash flow related to the activities of WCG for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was an increase to cash of approximately $47,000.

Obligations and commitments

Convertible senior subordinated notes. On November 13, 2007, we issued $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, or the Notes, under the amended note purchase agreement dated November 9, 2007 to the purchasers named therein in connection with the acquisition of Charter LCI Corporation, including its subsidiaries, in December 2007, or LogistiCare. The proceeds of $70.0 million were used to partially fund the cash portion of the purchase price paid by us to acquire LogistiCare. The Notes are general unsecured obligations subordinated in right of payment to any existing or future senior debt including our credit facility described below.

In connection with our issuance of the Notes, we entered into an Indenture between us, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, or the Indenture.

We pay interest on the Notes in cash semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2014.

The Notes are convertible, under certain circumstances, into common stock at a conversion rate, subject to adjustment as provided for in the Indenture, of 23.982 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. This conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $41.698 per share. On and after the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined below), the Notes will be convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the business day before the stated maturity date of the Notes. In the event of a fundamental change as described in the Indenture, each holder of the notes shall have the right to require us to repurchase the Notes for cash. A fundamental change includes among other things: (i) the acquisition in a transaction or series of transactions of 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of our capital stock; (ii) a merger or consolidation of our company with or into another entity, merger of another entity into our company, or the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of our assets to another entity (other than to one or more of our wholly-owned subsidiaries), other than any such transaction (A) pursuant to which holders of 50% or more of the total voting power of our capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors immediately prior to such transaction have or are entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, at least 50% or more of the total voting power of the capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors of the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after such transaction or (B) which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of our company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of our common stock into solely shares of common stock; (iii) if, during any consecutive two-year period, individuals who at the beginning of that two-year period constituted our board of directors, together with any new directors whose election to our board of directors or whose nomination for election by our stockholders, was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of our board of directors then in office; (iv) if a resolution approving a plan of liquidation or dissolution of our company is approved by our board of directors or our stockholders; and (v) upon the occurrence of a termination of trading as defined in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains customary terms and provisions that provide that upon certain events of default, including, without limitation, the failure to pay amounts due under the Notes when due, the failure to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement under the Indenture, or certain defaults under other agreements or instruments, occurring and continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of the Notes and any

accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration immediately due and payable. Upon any such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to us or any significant subsidiary of our company, the principal amount of the Notes together with any accrued interest through the occurrence of such event shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act of the Trustee or the holders of the Notes.

Credit facility. On December 7, 2007, we entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with CIT Healthcare LLC, as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A. and SunTrust Bank, as co-documentation agents, ING Capital LLC and Royal Bank of Canada, as co-syndication agents, other lenders party thereto and CIT Capital Securities LLC, or CIT, as sole lead arranger and bookrunner. The Credit Agreement replaced our previous credit facility with CIT Healthcare LLC.

On March 11, 2009, we agreed with our creditors to amend certain terms in the Credit Agreement (this amendment referred to as Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement and, together with the Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement).

The Amended Credit Agreement provides us with a senior secured first lien credit facility in aggregate principal amount of $203.0 million comprised of a $173.0 million, six year term loan and a $30.0 million, five year revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility. On December 7, 2007, we borrowed the entire amount available under the term loan facility and used the proceeds of the term loan to (i) fund a portion of the purchase price paid by us to acquire LogistiCare; (ii) refinance all of the then existing indebtedness under our second amended loan agreement with CIT Healthcare LLC in the amount of approximately $17.3 million; and (iii) pay fees and expenses related to the acquisition of LogistiCare and the financing thereof. The revolving credit facility must be used to (i) provide funds for general corporate purposes of our company; (ii) fund permitted acquisitions; (iii) fund ongoing working capital requirements; (iv) collateralize letters of credit; and (v) make capital expenditures. We intend to draw down on the revolving credit facility from time-to-time for these uses.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, yield protection, indemnities, expense reimbursement, material adverse change clauses, and events of default and other terms and conditions. In addition, we are required to maintain certain financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement. We are also prohibited from paying cash dividends if there is a default under the facility or if the payment of any cash dividends would result in default.

The Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement provided to, among other things:

•

decrease the revolving credit facility from $40 million to $30 million;

•

increase the interest rate spread on the annual interest rate from LIBOR plus 3.5% to LIBOR plus 6.5% and, with respect to Base Rate Loans (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement), increase the interest rate spread on the annual interest rate from Base Rate plus 2.5% to Base Rate plus 5.5% effective March 11, 2009; provided the interest rate will be adjusted upwards and we will incur a fee if certain consolidated senior leverage ratios exceed the corresponding ratio ceilings set forth in Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement determined as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009;

•

amend certain financial covenants to change the requirements to a level where we met the requirements for the fourth quarter of 2008 and would likely meet the requirements for 2009;

•

establish a new financial covenant through December 31, 2009 based upon our operations maintaining a minimum EBITDA level (as such term is defined in Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement) that commenced with the three months ended March 31, 2009; and

•

require us to deliver to the lenders monthly consolidated financial statements and a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast each week from the effective date of Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement to December 31, 2009.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement we were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2010. There can be no assurances that we will be able to maintain compliance with the financial and other covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement. In the event we are unable to comply with these covenants during future periods, it is uncertain whether our creditors will grant waivers for our non-compliance. See Item 1A “Risk Factors—Our increased indebtedness may harm our financial condition and results of operations” included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues interest at the per annum rate of LIBOR plus 6.5% or the Base Rate plus 5.5% at our election. We may, from time-to-time, request to convert the loan (whether borrowed under the term loan facility or the revolving credit facility) from a Base Rate Loan (subject to the per annum rate of the Base Rate plus 5.5%) to a LIBOR Loan (subject to the per annum rate of LIBOR plus 6.5%). The conversion to a LIBOR Loan may be selected for a period of one, two, three or six months with interest payable on the last day of the period selected except where a period of six months is selected by us interest is payable quarterly. If not renewed by us subject to CIT approval, the loan will automatically convert back to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the conversion period. The interest rate applied to our term loan at June 30, 2010 was 6.85%. In addition, we are subject to a 0.75% fee per annum on the unused portion of the available funds as well as other administrative fees. No amounts were borrowed under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2010, but the entire amount available under this facility may be allocated to collateralize certain letters of credit. As of December 31, 2009, there were five letters of credit in the amount of approximately $7.3 million and five letters of credit as of June 30, 2010 in the amount of approximately $6.1 million collateralized under the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, our available credit under the revolving credit facility was $22.7 million and $23.9 million, respectively.

Our obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of our present and future domestic subsidiaries, or the Guarantors, other than our insurance subsidiaries and not-for-profit subsidiaries. Our and each Guarantors’ obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien, subject to certain permitted encumbrances, on our assets and the assets of each Guarantor, including a pledge of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the issued and outstanding stock of our first tier foreign subsidiaries. If an event of default occurs, including, but not limited to, failure to pay any installment of principal or interest when due, failure to pay any other charges, fees, expenses or other monetary obligations owing to CIT when due or particular covenant defaults, as more fully described in the Amended Credit Agreement, the required lenders may cause CIT to declare all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses immediately due. Under the Credit Agreement, the initiation of any bankruptcy or related proceedings will automatically cause all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and expenses to become due and payable. In addition, it is an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement if we default on any indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of $5.0 million.

Each extension of credit under the Credit Facility is conditioned upon: (i) the accuracy in all material respects of all representations and warranties in the definitive loan documentation; and (ii) there being no default or event of default at the time of such extension of credit. Under the repayment terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we are obligated to repay the term loan in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter so that the following percentages of the term loan borrowed on the closing date are paid as follows: 5% in 2008, 7.5% in 2009, 10% in 2010, 12.5% in 2011, 15% in 2012 and the remaining balance in 2013. With respect to the revolving credit facility, we must repay the outstanding principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest by December 2012. With respect to required debt repayment, our Amended Credit Agreement with CIT requires that upon receipt of any proceeds from a disposition, involuntary disposition, equity issuance, or debt issuance (as such terms are defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) we must prepay principal then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of such proceeds. In addition, we may at any time and from time-to-time prepay the Credit Facility without premium or penalty, provided that we may not re-borrow any portion of the term loan repaid.

The Credit Facility also requires us to prepay the loan in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds of any disposition, or, to the extent the applicable net cash proceeds exceed $500,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the receipt or application of such net cash proceeds no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing and we deliver to the administrative agent a

certificate, executed by our chief financial officer, that we intend within three hundred sixty-five days after receipt thereof to use all or part of such net cash proceeds either to purchase assets used in the ordinary course of our business and our subsidiaries or to make capital expenditures, we may use all or part of such net cash proceeds in the manner set forth in such certificate; provided, however, that, (A) any such net cash proceeds not so used within the period set forth in such certificate shall, on the first business day immediately following such period, be applied as a prepayment and (B) any assets so acquired shall be subject to the security interests under the collateral documents in the same priority (subject to permitted liens) as the assets subject to such disposition or involuntary disposition.

We agreed to indemnify and hold harmless, the agents, each lender and their respective affiliates and officers, directors, employees, counsel, trustees, advisors, agents and attorneys-in-fact from and against any and all liabilities obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements to which any such indemnified party may become subject arising out of or in connection with the Credit Facility or any related transaction regardless of whether any such indemnified person is a party thereto, and to reimburse each such indemnified person upon demand for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement.

On February 27, 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap to convert a portion of our floating rate long-term debt to fixed rate debt. The purpose of this instrument was to hedge the variability of our future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in interest rates applied to our floating rate long-term debt. We held this derivative only for the purpose of hedging such risks, not for speculation. We entered into the interest rate swap with a notional amount of $86.5 million maturing on February 27, 2010. Under the swap agreement, we received interest equivalent to three-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of interest of 3.026% with settlement occurring quarterly.

Upon the expiration of the interest rate swap discussed above, we entered into a new interest rate swap effective March 11, 2010, with a notional amount of $63.4 million maturing on December 13, 2010. Under this new swap agreement, we receive interest equivalent to one-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of interest of .58% with settlement occurring monthly. By entering into the interest rate swap, we effectively fixed the interest rate payable by us on $63.4 million of our floating rate long-term debt at 7.08% for the period March 11, 2010 to December 13, 2010.

Contingent obligations. On August 13, 2007, our board of directors adopted The Providence Service Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, or the Deferred Compensation Plan, for our eligible employees and independent contractors or a participating employer (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan participants may defer all or a portion of their base salary, service bonus, performance-based compensation earned in a period of 12 months or more, commissions and, in the case of independent contractors, compensation reportable on Form 1099. The Deferred Compensation Plan is unfunded and benefits are paid from our general assets. As of June 30, 2010, there were seven participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan. We also maintain a 409(A) Deferred Compensation Rabbi Trust Plan for highly compensated employees of our NET Services operating segment. Benefits are paid from our general assets under this plan. As of June 30, 2010, 15 highly compensated employees participated in this plan.

We may be obligated to pay an amount up to $650,000 to the sellers under an earn out provision pursuant to a formula specified in an asset purchase agreement effective July 1, 2009 by which we acquired certain assets of an entity located in California. The earn out payment as such term is defined in the asset purchase agreement, if earned, will be paid in cash. The earn out period ends on December 31, 2013. If the contingency is resolved in accordance with the related provisions of the asset purchase agreement and the additional consideration becomes distributable, we will record the fair value of the consideration issued as an additional cost to acquire the associated assets, which will be charged to earnings.

Management agreements

We maintain management agreements with a number of not-for-profit social services organizations that require us to provide management and administrative services for each organization. In exchange for these services, we receive a management fee that is either based upon a percentage of the revenues of these organizations or a predetermined fee. The not-for-profit social services organizations managed by us that qualify under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, referred to as a 501(c)(3) entity, each maintain a board of directors, a majority of which are independent. All economic decisions by the board of any 501(c)(3) entity that affect us are made solely by the independent board members. Our management agreements with each 501(c)(3) entity are typically subject to third party fairness opinions from an independent appraiser retained by the independent board members of the tax exempt organizations.

Management fees generated under our management agreements represented 2.0% and 1.5% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. In accordance with our management agreements with these not-for-profit organizations, we have obligations to manage their business and services.

Management fee receivable at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010 totaled $7.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and management fee revenue was recognized on all of these receivables. In order to enhance liquidity of the entities we manage, we may allow the managed entities to defer payment of their respective management fees. In addition, since government contractors who provide social or similar services to government beneficiaries sometimes experience collection delays due to either lack of proper documentation of claims, government budgetary processes or similar reasons outside the contractors’ control (either directly or as managers of other contracting entities), we generally do not consider a management fee receivable to be uncollectible due solely to its age until it is 365 days old.

The following is a summary of the aging of our management fee receivable balances as of June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2009 and March 31 and June 30, 2010:


At	Less than 30 days		30-60 days		60-90 days		90-180 days		Over 180 days
June 30, 2009	$	1,254,508	$	889,063	$	712,056	$	1,933,016	$	2,559,219
September 20, 2009	$	1,135,520	$	867,846	$	772,442	$	2,022,331	$	2,601,141
December 31, 2009	$	1,018,624	$	857,512	$	678,124	$	2,051,679	$	2,554,062
March 31, 2010	$	1,021,834	$	890,884	$	610,979	$	1,826,772	$	2,779,842
June 30, 2010	$	1,074,610	$	668,469	$	631,223	$	1,733,202	$	2,973,063

Each month we evaluate the solvency, outlook and ability to pay outstanding management fees of the entities we manage. If the likelihood that we will not be paid is other than remote, we defer the recognition of these management fees until we are certain that payment is probable. We have deemed payment of all of the management fee receivables to be probable based on our collection history with these entities as the long-term manager of their operations.

Our days sales outstanding for our managed entities increased from 181 days at December 31, 2009 to 187 days at June 30, 2010.

Reinsurance and Self-Funded Insurance Programs

Reinsurance

We reinsure a substantial portion of our general and professional liability and workers’ compensation costs under reinsurance programs through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, Social Services Providers Captive Insurance Company, or SPCIC. We also provide reinsurance for policies written by a third party insurer for general liability, automobile liability, and automobile physical damage coverage to certain members of the network of subcontracted transportation providers and independent third parties under our NET Services operating segment through Provado Insurance Services, Inc., or Provado. Provado, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LogistiCare, is a licensed captive insurance company domiciled in the State of South Carolina. The decision to reinsure our risks and provide a self-funded health insurance program to our employees was made based on current conditions in the insurance marketplace that have led to increasingly higher levels of self-insurance retentions, increasing number of coverage limitations, and fluctuating insurance premium rates.

SPCIC:

SPCIC, which is a licensed captive insurance company domiciled in the State of Arizona, reinsures third-party insurers for general and professional liability exposures for the first dollar of each and every loss up to $1.0 million per loss and $5.0 million in the aggregate. The cumulative reserve for expected losses since inception in 2005 of this reinsurance program at June 30, 2010 was approximately $1.7 million. The excess premium over our expected losses may be used to fund SPCIC’s operating expenses, fund any deficit arising in workers’ compensation liability coverage, provide for surplus reserves, and to fund any other risk management activities.

SPCIC reinsures a third-party insurer for worker’s compensation insurance for the first dollar of each and every loss up to $250,000 per occurrence with a $6.0 million annual aggregate limit. The cumulative reserve for expected losses since inception in 2005 of this reinsurance program at June 30, 2010 was approximately $3.5 million.

Based on an independent actuarial report, our expected losses related to workers’ compensation and general and professional liability in excess of our liability under our associated reinsurance programs at June 30, 2010 was approximately $2.5 million. We recorded a corresponding receivable from third-party insurers and liability at June 30, 2010 for these expected losses, which would be paid by third-party insurers to the extent losses are incurred. We have an umbrella liability insurance policy providing additional coverage in the amount of $25.0 million in the aggregate in excess of the policy limits of the general and professional liability insurance policy and automobile liability insurance policy.

SPCIC had restricted cash of approximately $5.7 million and $8.8 million at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively, which was restricted to secure the reinsured claims losses of SPCIC under the general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance programs. The full extent of claims may not be fully determined for years. Therefore, the estimates of potential obligations are based on recommendations of an independent actuary using historical data, industry data, and our claims experience. Although we believe that the amounts accrued for losses incurred but not reported under the terms of our reinsurance programs are sufficient, any significant increase in the number of claims or costs associated with these claims made under these programs could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Provado:

Under a reinsurance agreement with a third party insurer, Provado reinsures the third party insurer for the first $250,000 of each loss for each line of coverage, subject to an annual aggregate equal to 107.7% of gross written premium, and certain claims in excess of $250,000 to an additional aggregate limit of $1.1 million. The cumulative reserve for expected losses of this reinsurance program at June 30, 2010 was approximately $7.1 million.

The liabilities for expected losses and loss adjustment expenses are based primarily on individual case estimates for losses reported by claimants. An estimate is provided for losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred but not reported on the basis of our claims experience and claims experience of the industry. These estimates are reviewed at least annually by independent consulting actuaries. As experience develops and new information becomes known, the estimates are adjusted.

Providence Liability Insurance Coverages

During the second quarter of 2010, we made changes to our automobile, general and professional liability and umbrella insurance coverage limits to ensure our insurance program meets our insurable risks as we grow and contractual requirements. The table below summarizes our liability insurance programs as of June 30, 2010.


Coverage Type	Coverage Limit	Reinsurance
Automobile	$2,000,000	—
Crime	$5,000,000	—
Director & Officer Liability	$10,000,000	—
Employed Lawyers	$1,000,000	—
Employment Practices Liability	$3,000,000	—
General & Professional Liability	$1,000,000 per loss; $5,000,000 aggregate	Fully reinsured by SPCIC
Umbrella	$25,000,000 in excess of general and professional liability and auto liability	—
Workers’ Compensation	Statutory amounts	Reinsured by SPCIC up to $250,000 per claim with a $6,000,000 aggregate limit

While we are insured for these types of claims, damages exceeding our insurance limits or outside our insurance coverage, such as a claim for fraud or punitive damages, could adversely affect our cash flow and financial condition.

Health Insurance

We offer our employees an option to participate in a self-funded health insurance program. As of June 30, 2010, health claims were self-funded with a stop-loss umbrella policy with a third party insurer to limit the maximum potential liability for individual claims to $200,000 per person and for a maximum potential claim liability based on member enrollment.

Health insurance claims are paid as they are submitted to the plan administrator. We maintain accruals for claims that have been incurred but not yet reported to the plan administrator and therefore have not been paid. The incurred but not reported reserve is based on an established cap and current payment trends of health insurance claims. The liability for the self-funded health plan of approximately $1.6 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively, was recorded in “Reinsurance liability reserve” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We charge our employees a portion of the costs of our self-funded group health insurance programs. We determine this charge at the beginning of each plan year based upon historical and projected medical utilization data. Any difference between our projections and our actual experience is borne by us. We estimate potential obligations for liabilities under this program to reserve what we believe to be a sufficient amount to cover liabilities based on our past experience. Any significant increase in the number of claims or costs associated with claims made under this program above what we reserve could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Liquidity matters

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and Amended Credit Agreement provide funds necessary to meet our operating plan for 2010. The expected operating plan for this period provides for full operation of our businesses as well as interest and projected principal payments on our debt. In addition, we are focusing on several strategic options to reduce our debt.

We may access capital markets to raise equity financing for various business reasons, including required debt payments and acquisitions. The timing, term, size, and pricing of any such financing will depend on investor interest and market conditions, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing. In addition, with respect to required debt payments, the Amended Credit Agreement requires that upon receipt of any proceeds from a disposition, involuntary disposition, equity issuance, or debt issuance (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) we must prepay principal then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to at least 50% of such proceeds except where the disposition requires the consent of the lenders, in which case the net cash proceeds will be used to prepay outstanding principal.

Our board of directors authorized an additional prepayment of $5.0 million of our term loan debt under the Amended Credit Agreement in January 2010. The prepayment was made on January 11, 2010. The $5.0 million voluntary prepayment, in addition to regularly scheduled principal payments in the aggregate amount of $7.2 million in the first six months of 2010, brought the balance of our term loan to approximately $119.5 million at June 30, 2010. Our total long-term debt obligations at June 30, 2010 were approximately $189.5 million.

Our liquidity and financial position will continue to be affected by changes in prevailing interest rates on the portion of debt that bears interest at variable interest rates. We believe we have sufficient resources to fund our normal operations for the foreseeable future.

New and Proposed Federal Legislation with Income Tax Implications

Recently the U.S. federal government proposed future tax legislation that could change how U.S. companies with operations in foreign jurisdictions are taxed on their foreign income. These potential changes include, but are not limited to:

•

limitations on the deferral of U.S. taxation of foreign earnings;

•

limitations on the ability to claim and utilize foreign tax credits; and,

•

deferral of various tax deductions until non-U.S. earnings are repatriated to the U.S.

Each of these proposals would be effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010. It is uncertain whether some or all of the proposals will be enacted. Given the size and scope of our current international operations, we believe that these proposals, if enacted, will not have a material impact on our effective tax rate, financial condition or results of operations.

Other pieces of legislation recently enacted or proposed by the U.S. federal government that have income tax implications are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2009-17-Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, or ASU 2009-17. ASU 2009-17 amends the guidance on variable interest entities in ASC Topic 810-Consolidations related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. It requires reporting entities to evaluate former qualifying special purpose entities, or QSPEs, for consolidation, changes the approach to determining a variable interest entities, or VIEs, primary beneficiary from a quantitative assessment to a qualitative assessment designed to identify a controlling financial interest, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. It also clarifies, but does not significantly change, the characteristics that identify a VIE. This ASU requires additional year-end and interim disclosures for public and nonpublic companies that are similar to the disclosures required by ASC paragraphs 810-10-50-8 through 50-19 and 860-10-50-3 through 50-9. ASU 2009-17 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. On January 1, 2010, we adopted ASU 2009-17. The adoption of ASU 2009-17 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, or ASU 2010-06. ASU 2010-06 amends certain disclosure requirements of Subtopic 820-10 and provides additional disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels I and II and for activity in Level III. This ASU also clarifies certain other existing disclosure

requirements including level of desegregation and disclosures around inputs and valuation techniques. The final amendments to the ASC will be effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis. That requirement will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2010-06 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. We adopted ASU 2010-06 as of January 1, 2010 with respect to the provisions required to be adopted as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of these provisions of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that the provisions of ASU 2010-06 that are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-08-Technical Corrections to Various Topics, or ASU 2010-08. ASU 2010-08 is the result of the FASB’s review of its standards to determine if any provisions are outdated, contain inconsistencies, or need clarifications to reflect the FASB’s original intent. The FASB believes the amendments do not fundamentally change GAAP. However, certain clarifications on embedded derivatives and hedging (Subtopic 815-15) may cause a change in the application of that Subtopic and special transition provisions are provided for those amendments. The ASU contains various effective dates. The clarifications of the guidance on embedded derivatives and hedging (Subtopic 815-15) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009. The amendments to the guidance on accounting for income taxes in a reorganization (Subtopic 852-740) applies to reorganizations for which the date of the reorganization is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. All other amendments are effective as of the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after February 2, 2010. On January 1, 2010, we adopted ASU 2010-08. The adoption of ASU 2010-08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In October, 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13-Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, or ASU 2009-13. ASU 2009-13 amends ASC Subtopic 650-25 to eliminate the requirement that all undelivered elements have vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, or third party evidence, or TPE, before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. The overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entity’s estimated selling price. Application of the “residual method” of allocating an overall arrangement fee between delivered and undelivered elements will no longer be permitted upon adoption of ASU 2009-13. Additionally, the new guidance will require entities to disclose more information about their multiple-element revenue arrangements. The ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a company elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of its fiscal year, the requirements must be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year. Retrospective application to prior years is an option, but is not required. In the initial year of application, companies are required to make qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the impact of the changes. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of ASU 2009-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards and exposure drafts, such as exposure drafts related to revenue recognition, loss contingencies, comprehensive income and fair value measurements, that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are being evaluated to determine whether adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, such as any statements about our confidence or strategies or our expectations about revenues, liabilities, results of operations, cash flows, ability to fund operations, profitability, ability to meet financial covenants, contracts or market opportunities, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “will,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future,” and “intends” and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause our actual results or achievements to differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this report. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Foreign currency translation

We conduct business in Canada through our wholly-owned subsidiary WCG, and as such, our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that the impact of currency fluctuations does not represent a significant risk to us given the size and scope of our current international operations. Therefore, we do not hedge against the possible impact of this risk. A 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate would not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Interest rate and market risk

As of June 30, 2010, we had borrowings under our term loan of approximately $119.5 million and no borrowings under our revolving line of credit. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement accrued interest at LIBOR plus 6.5% per annum as of June 30, 2010. An increase of 1% in the LIBOR rate would cause an increase in interest expense of up to $2.9 million over the remaining term of the Amended Credit Agreement, which expires in 2013.

We have convertible senior subordinated notes of $70 million outstanding at June 30, 2010 in connection with an acquisition completed in 2007. These notes bear a fixed interest rate of 6.5%.

We entered into an interest rate swap agreement effective March 11, 2010, with a notional amount of $63.4 million maturing on December 13, 2010. Under this swap agreement, we receive interest equivalent to one-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of interest of .58% with settlement occurring monthly. By entering into the interest rate swap, we effectively fixed the interest rate payable by us on $63.4 million of our floating rate long-term debt at 7.08% for the period March 11, 2010 to December 13, 2010.

We assess the significance of interest rate market risk on a periodic basis and may implement strategies to manage such risk as we deem appropriate.

Concentration of credit risk

We provide government sponsored social services to individuals and families pursuant to over 600 contracts as of June 30, 2010. Contracts we enter into with governmental agencies and with other entities that contract with governmental agencies accounted for approximately 81% and 82% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The related contracts are subject to possible statutory and regulatory changes, rate adjustments, administrative rulings, rate freezes and funding reductions. Reductions in amounts paid under these contracts for our services or changes in methods or regulations governing payments for our services could materially adversely affect our revenue and profitability. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we conducted a portion of our operations in Canada through WCG. At June 30, 2010, approximately $13.6 million, or 17.1%, of our net assets were located in Canada. We are subject to the risks inherent in conducting business across national boundaries, any one of which could adversely impact our business. In addition to currency fluctuations, these risks include, among other things: (i) economic downturns; (ii) changes in or interpretations of local law, governmental policy or regulation; (iii) restrictions on the transfer of funds into or out of the country; (iv) varying tax systems; (v) delays from doing business with governmental agencies; (vi) nationalization of foreign assets; and (vii) government protectionism. We intend to continue to evaluate opportunities to establish additional operations in Canada. One or more of the foregoing factors could impair our current or future operations and, as a result, harm our overall business.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report (June 30, 2010) (“Disclosure Controls”). Based upon the Disclosure Controls evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Disclosure Controls are effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal controls

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (“Internal Control”) to determine whether any changes in Internal Control occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect Internal Control. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

(c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
