NOTE
1 - CORPORATE HISTORY
Pacific
Health Care Organization, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Utah, on April 17, 1970 under the name Clear Air, Inc. The Company
changed its name to Pacific Health Care Organization, Inc. (PHCO), on January
31, 2001. On February 26, 2001, the Company acquired Medex
Healthcare, Inc. (Medex), a California corporation organized March 4, 1994, in a
share for share exchange. Medex is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. Medex is in the business of managing and administering
Health Care Organizations (HCOs) and Medical Provider Network (MPNs) in the
state of California. On August 14, 2001, we formed Workers
Compensation Assistance, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. In January 2008, Workers Compensation Assistance, Inc.
changed its name to Industrial Resolutions Coalition, Inc. (IRC) IRC
is in the business of creating legal agreements for the implementation of
Workers’ Compensation Carve-Outs for California employers with collective
bargaining units.
Medex Healthcare,
Inc.
HCOs are
networks of medical providers established to serve the Workers’ Compensation
industry. In the original legislation establishing HCOs, the
California legislature mandated that if an employer contracts services from an
HCO, the injured workers must be given a choice between at least two HCOs. To be
competitive, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Medex, recognized early on that it was
necessary to have two HCO certifications. Instead of aligning with a competitor,
Medex elected to go through the lengthy applications process with the California
Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and the Division of Workers’
Compensation (DWC) twice to obtain licensure for and to operate two separate
HCOs. While there is no longer a statutory requirement to offer two
HCOs to employers, Medex continues to retain its two certifications. As such,
employer clients have the option of offering one or two HCOs to their
employees. Medex believes its ability to offer two HCOs gives
potential clients greater choice, which is favored by a number of employers,
especially those with certified bargaining units.
Through
its two certified HCOs, Medex offers injured workers a choice. One is to enroll
in an HCO with a network managed by primary care providers requiring a referral
to specialists. The second choice is to enroll in an HCO where injured workers
do not need any prior authorization to be seen and treated by
specialists.
The two
HCO certifications that Medex currently holds cover the entire state of
California, where medical and indemnity costs associated with Workers’
Compensation in the state California are in the billions of dollars
annually. The Company’s two HCOs utilize a network of over 3,400
contracted providers and clinics and hospitals making its HCOs capable of
providing comprehensive medical services throughout this region. The
Company is continually developing its networks based upon the nominations of new
clients and the approvals of their claims’ administrators. Provider
credentialing is performed by Medex.
Medex, by
virtue of its continued certification as an HCO, is statutorily deemed to be
qualified as an approved MPN. A significant number of employer
clients have availed themselves of the MPN. Others utilize the
provisions of the HCO program, while others will use both in conjunction with
each other.

NOTE
1 - CORPORATE HISTORY (continued)
The
Company maintains ongoing discussions with insurance brokers, carriers, third
party administrators, managed care organizations and representatives of
self-insured employers, both as partners and potential clients. Based
on potential cost savings to employers and the approximately fourteen million
workers eligible for its services, the Company expects that employers will
continue to sign contracts with the Company to retain its services. The amount
the Company charges employers per enrollee may vary based upon factors such as
employer history and exposure to risk; for instance, a construction company
would likely pay more than a payroll service company. In addition,
employers who have thousands of enrollees are more likely to get a discount than
employers with fewer employees.
Because
the Company contracts with medical providers who own their own medical
equipment, such as x-ray machines, the Company does not typically incur large
capital expenditures. The Company does, however, incur fixed costs
such as liability insurance and other usual costs of running a
business.
Industrial
Resolutions Coalition, Inc.
In 2001
we incorporated Workers Compensation Assistance, Inc., as a wholly-owned
subsidiary, with the intent of pursuing other opportunities in the workers’
compensation field. Toward the end of 2007 the Company identified a
business opportunity within the workers’ compensation field. Through
IRC, formerly Workers Compensation Assistance, Inc., the Company is in the
business of creating legal agreements for the implementation of Workers’
Compensation Carve-Outs for California employers with collective bargaining
units, and the administration of such programs within the statutory and
regulatory requirements.
Because
the Company already has established health care networks, it considered pursuing
this market directly through Medex. Workers’ unions, however, have
historically been opposed to HCO programs. Medex has been largely
unable to place its services into employers with union participation in both the
private and public sectors. The reason for this has been the
requirement in the HCO statute that the unions authorize the use of the HCO
program. Unions have been opposed to authorizing the use of HCO
programs because the HCO program is selected by the employer with no input
whatsoever from labor participants. The major unions, especially
those involved in schools and governmental entities (municipalities, etc.), have
historically refused to allow employers to implement the HCO. All the
unions in the California Labor Federation have also refused to participate in
HCO programs. The same objections have been raised regarding the use of the MPN,
i.e., no input from labor representatives. For these reasons, the
Company believes there is a market available to IRC that Medex has been unable
to exploit.

NOTE
2 - Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis of
Accounting
The
Company uses the accrual method of accounting.
B. Revenue
Recognition
The
Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, REVENUE
RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (“SAB 104”), which provides guidance on the
recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements
filed with the SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to
recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue
recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to
monthly contracted amounts for services provided when (i) persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been
rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectibility is
reasonably assured.
Health
care service revenues are recognized in the period in which fees are fixed or
determinable and the related services are provided to the
subscriber.
The
Company’s subscribers pay for their services by check or electronic check
payment, and revenue is then recognized ratably over the period in which the
related services are provided. Advance billings to subscribers are recorded on
the balance sheet as unearned revenue. In circumstances where payment
is not received in advance, revenue is only recognized when earned. An allowance
for uncollectible accounts is established for any customer who is deemed as
possibly uncollectible.
C. Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible within
three
months to known amounts, as cash equivalents. The Company currently has no cash
equivalents.
D. Concentrations
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risks consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash
equivalents at well-known, quality financial institutions. At times, such cash
and investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
E. Net
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock (unaudited)
The
computation of earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial
statements.

F. Depreciation
The cost
of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated over the
lesser of the length of the lease of the related assets for the estimated lives
of the assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight line
method.
G. Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, in the United States of America, requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
H. Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its’ wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
I. Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The fair
value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities approximate carrying value are based on their effective
interest rates compared to current market prices.
J. General
and Administrative Costs
General
and administrative expenses include fees for office space, compensated absences,
travel expenses and entertainment costs.

NOTE
2 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
K. Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes the liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the
liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided based
on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and
liabilities measured by the currently enacted tax rates in effect for the years
in which these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense or
benefit is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
L. Capital
Structure
The
Company has two classes of stock. Preferred stock, par value $.001,
5,000,000 shares authorized, zero issued. Voting rights and
liquidation preferences have not been determined. The Company also has voting
common stock, par value $.001, of 50,000,000 shares authorized, with 802,424
shares issued and outstanding. No dividends were paid in the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, or in any prior period.
M. Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company has adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation in accordance with statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 (Revised 2004), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFS123[R]). This
standard requires the Company to record compensation expense using the
Black-Scholes pricing model.
N. Trade
Receivables
The
Company, in the normal course of business, extends credit to its customers on a
short-term basis. Although the credit risk associated with these customers is
minimal, the Company routinely
reviews
its accounts receivable balances and makes provisions for doubtful accounts. The
Company ages its receivables by date of invoice. Management reviews bad debt
reserves quarterly and reserves specific accounts as warranted or sets up a
general reserve based on amounts over 90 days past due. When an account is
deemed uncollectible, the Company charges off the receivable against the bad
debt reserve. At the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a $20,000
general reserve for balances over 90 days past due has been
established.
The
percentages of the major customers to total accounts receivable for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 (unaudited) are as follows:
Customer
A 22%
Customer
B 12%
Customer
C 11%
NOTE
3 - New Technical Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL
ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES – INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT
NO.115. This statement’s objective is to improve financial reporting by
providing the Company with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without
having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected
to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the
FASB’s

NOTE
3 - New Technical Pronouncements (continued)
long-term
measurement objective for accounting for financial instruments. The adoption of
SFAS 159 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. The
Company presently comments on significant accounting policies (including fair
value of financial instruments) in Note 2 to the financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 51. This statement’s
objective is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the
financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated
financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that
require ownership interests in the subsidiaries held by parties other than the
parent be clearly identified. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have an impact on
the Company’s financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS.
This revision statements objective is to improve the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity
provides in its effects on recognizing identifiable assets and measuring
goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141 (revised) did not have an impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES—AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. This statement’s
objective is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in statement
133. The statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be
disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This
disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks
that the entity is intending to manage. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an
impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. This statement identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used
in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States. The Board believes that the GAAP hierarchy should
be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of SFAS No. 162
did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL GUARANTEE INSURANCE
CONTRACTS—AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 60. This statement
was issued because diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial
guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No.
60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity
results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim
liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under
FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This Statement
requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an
event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit
deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This
Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee
insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to
account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. The adoption of
SFAS No. 163 does not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

11 - Unaudited Information
The
financial statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were
taken from the books and records of the Company without
audit. However, such information reflects all adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary to properly reflect the results of the

NOTE
12 – Changes Resulting From Stock Splits and Cash-out of Fractional
Shares
The
Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on April 11, 2008 at which the
Company’s stockholders voted on the proposal to amend the Company’s Article of
Incorporation to effect a 1 for 50 reverse split of the Company’s common stock,
with a cash-out of all resulting fractional shares followed by a 2.5 for 1
forward split of our common stock. The Company did incur significant legal,
proxy notification and mailing cost in connection with the meeting. The
Shareholders voted 12,365,710 shares in favor, 394,516 shares against and 379
shares abstained from voting on the proposed transaction.
As
permitted under Utah law and as approved by the Company’s stockholders at a
Special Meeting of Stockholders, 12,568 pre-reverse split shares of common stock
were reduced to fractional shares (less than one whole share) by the reverse
split and such fractional shares were not reissued. Rather, the
fractional shares were cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash
payment for the value of the fractional share. The Company believes
that the transaction will result in significantly reduced shareholder record
keeping and mailing expenses and will provide holders of fewer than the 50
pre-reverse split shares with an efficient, cost-effective way to cash-out their
investments. The Company set aside in accrued expense and an
aggregate amount payable of $918 owed to cashed-out fractional share
shareholders who were entitled to a cash payment for their shares. As
of September 30, 2008, the Company had paid an aggregate amount of $600 owed to
cashed-out fractional share shareholders.
As a
result of the reverse and forward splits, the Company has restated its
outstanding shares on the balance sheet for December 31, 2007 and in Note 2(e).
Neither the authorized common stock of the Company, nor the par value of the
common stock were affected by the splits. The outstanding shares at December 31,
2007 were 15,427,759, following the splits; the outstanding shares of the
Company were 802,424. For the year end December 31, 2007, $14,626 was
reclassified from common stock to additional paid-in-capital.
Overview
For many years, workers’ compensation
costs in California have been high. Since 1993, the legislature in California
has enacted various laws designed to introduce alternatives to the traditional
model of worker’s compensation aimed at controlling costs by giving employers
greater control over the medical treatment of injured workers for a longer
period of time.
Under the traditional model of workers’
compensation insurance coverage, the employer controls the selection of the
medical provider for the first 30 days after the injury is
reported. Thereafter the employee chooses the treating physician and
the employer has no further control over the treatment of the
patient.
16
In 1993 the California legislature
passed a bill that established Health Care Organizations. An HCO is a
network of health care professionals specializing in the treatment of workplace
injuries and in back-to-work rehabilitation and training. The benefit
of the HCO to an employer is two-fold. First, the employer is able to
control the medical treatment of the injured employee for 90 to 180 days rather
than just during the first 30 days. Second, the HCO provides the
employer a network of trained providers to which it can refer its injured
employees who specialize in treating work place injuries.
Under the HCO guidelines, all HCOs are
required to collect from each enrolled employer certain annual fees which are
passed on to the California Division of Workers’ Compensation
(“DWC”). These fees include an annual fee per employee enrolled in
the HCO at the end of the calendar year. The HCO guidelines also
impose certain data reporting requirements on the HCO and annual enrollment
notice delivery requirements. These requirements increase the
administrative costs of an HCO.
In 2004, the California legislature
enacted new laws that created MPNs. Like an HCO, an MPN is a network
of health care professionals, but MPN networks are not required to have the same
level of medical expertise in treating employees’ work place
injuries. Under an MPN program, the employer dictates which physician
the injured employee will see for the initial visit. Thereafter, the
employee can choose to treat with any physician within the MPN
network.
By virtue of our continued
certification as an HCO, we were statutorily deemed to be qualified as an
approved MPN on January 1, 2005. As a licensed HCO and MPN, we are
able to offer our clients an HCO program, an MPN program and a combination of
the HCO and MPN programs. Under this combination model, an employer
can enroll its employees in the HCO program, then prior to the expiration of the
90 or 180 day treatment period under the HCO program, the employer can enroll
the employee into the MPN program. This allows employers to take
advantage of both programs. To our knowledge, we are currently the
only entity that offers both programs together.
Unlike HCOs, MPNs are not assessed the
annual enrollee fee that must be paid to the DWC. MPNs have far fewer
data reporting obligations and no annual enrollment notice delivery
requirements. MPN’s are only required to provide an enrollment notice
at the time the employee first joins the MPN and a second notice at the time the
employee suffers a work place injury. We experienced small increases
in total enrollment during the nine months ended
September
30, 2008.
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of $597,167 compared to $419,416
at December 31, 2007. The $177,751 increase in
cash on hand is the result of increased revenue from operations, accrued
expenses and income tax payable, which were partially offset by decreases
primarily in unearned revenue, accounts payable and prepaid income
tax. We believe that cash on hand and anticipated revenues from
operations will be sufficient to cover our operating costs over the next twelve
months. We do not anticipate the need to find other sources of
capital at this time.
17
In addition to focusing on expanding
our current business, we continue to investigate other potential business
acquisitions based on, among other criteria, economics, projected cash flows and
the ability to increase shareholder value. If we expand our business
via an acquisition or otherwise, or if our revenues are less than anticipated,
we may need to find other sources of capital to continue
operations. Most likely we would seek additional capital in the form
of debt and/or equity. While we believe we are capable of raising
additional capital, there is no assurance that we will be successful in locating
other sources of capital on favorable terms or at all.
Results
of Operations
Comparison of the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Revenue
The total number of employee enrollees
increased 7% during nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September
30, 2007. Total revenues increased 21% to $1,776,879. As of September
30, 2008, we had approximately 232,000 total enrollees. Enrollment
consisted of approximately 75,000 HCO enrollees and 157,000 MPN
enrollees. By comparison as of September 30, 2007 we had
approximately 216,000 enrollees, including approximately 68,000 HCO enrollees
and approximately 148,000 MPN enrollees.
HCO
Fees
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, HCO fee revenues were
$915,991 and $730,657, respectively. The 10% increase in HCO
enrollment during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, resulted in a 25%
increase in revenue from HCO fees. This was attributable to increased
employee enrollment and re-notification of existing clients. Based on a review
of the expiration dates of current contracts with our existing HCO clients and
our experience over the past year, we anticipate that during fiscal 2008 we will
experience a cumulative 6% increase in total HCO enrollment with a cumulative
23% increase in HCO revenue.
MPN Fees
MPN fee revenues for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 were $489,910, compared to $502,591 for the same period
a year earlier. As of September 30, 2008 we realized a 6% increase in MPN
enrollment compared to September 30, 2007. This growth in enrollment
was largely attributable to an increase in enrollment by one of our major
existing clients. Because of differing terms of payment, unbundling
of services, price competition and similar factors as compared to 2007 we
realized a 3% decrease in MPN fees, despite a 6% increase in MPN
enrollment. We expect minimal increases in enrollment for the balance
of the 2008 fiscal year and we anticipate a 12% annual decrease in MPN revenue
in the 2008 fiscal year.
18
Other
Revenue
During the nine months ended September
30, 2008, other revenue increased 57% to $370,978 from $235,574 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The primary component of other
revenue is nurse case management. We retain nurses on our staff who,
at the request of our customers, will review the medical portion of a claim on
behalf of our employer clients, claims managers and injured
workers. We offer nurse case management services to our customers on
an optional basis. We charge an additional fee for nurse case
management services and program administration fees. We anticipate
approximately 59% growth in other revenue by the end of fiscal 2008 as compared
to fiscal 2007.
We expect the aforementioned 25%
increase in HCO revenues, 3% decrease in MPN revenues and 57% increase in other
revenues to result in an overall increase in total revenue of approximately 16%
in 2008.
Expenses
Total
expenses increased 23% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared
to the same period 2007. We expect total expenses to be approximately 15% higher
during the remainder of the 2008 fiscal year, primarily as a result of IRC start
up expenses and additional professional and other fees associated with the
reverse and forward splits of our outstanding common stock.
Consulting
Fees
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consulting fees increased to $186,975
from $153,618 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This
increase in consulting fees was primarily due to contracting with an additional
nurse case manager and consulting fees paid to the President of IRC, who is also
our independent legal consultant to Medex. We anticipate that
consulting fees will continue to be higher for the remainder of 2008 as we
expand our nurse case management department and IRC.
Salaries and
Wages
Salaries
and wages increased to $623,819 or 36% during the nine months ended September
30, 2008 when compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in
salaries & wages was primarily the result of hiring our Vice President of
Marketing, and a Chief Financial Officer during the third and fourth quarters of
2007, respectively. Additionally, the recording of an employee bonus
accrual in September 2008, the hiring of an additional administrative staff
member and a salary increase to the President of PHCO also contributed toward
this increase. Accordingly, we expect salaries and wages
to be approximately 27% higher in 2008, compared to 2007.
19
Professional
Fees
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred professional fees of $197,529
compared to $130,635 during the nine months ended September 30,
2007. This 51% increase in fees was the result of increased legal
fees associated with the reverse and forward splits of our common
stock. We expect professional fees to be about 39% higher in 2008, as
compared to 2007.
Insurance
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred insurance expenses of
$84,814, a $1,261 decrease when compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2007. The decrease in 2008 was primarily due to minor adjustments
made to the health insurance premiums. We expect insurance expenses
to remain level during 2008.
Employment
Enrollment
Employment
enrollment increased $1,800 to $54,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 2008, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As an
HCO, we are required to pay a fee to the State of California – Division of
Workers’ Compensation for each person enrolled at the end of the calendar year
in our HCO program. Because employee enrollment expenses are not
determined until year end, we accrue expense during the year based on our
estimation of what enrollment will be at year end. We anticipate that total
employee enrollment will be higher at December 31, 2008 than at December 31,
2007 resulting from increased HCO employee enrollment.
Data
Maintenance
Under
regulations applicable to HCOs and MPNs we are required to comply with certain
data reporting and document delivery obligations. We currently
contract out much of these data reporting and document delivery obligations to
third parties. The costs we incur to meet these requirements are
reflected in our financial statements as “data maintenance.”
Data
maintenance costs are impacted by several factors, including the overall mix of
enrollees in our HCO and MPN programs and the number of new enrollees during the
year. HCOs are required to deliver enrollment notices annually to
each HCO enrollee. By comparison, MPNs are required to deliver an
enrollment notice only at the time of initial enrollment and at the time an
enrollee is injured. As a result, after the first year, data
maintenance fees for MPN enrollees are consistently about 50% lower than data
maintenance fees for HCO enrollees. Therefore, depending on the mix
of HCO and MPN enrollees and the number of new MPN enrollees versus ongoing MPN
enrollees, our data maintenance costs may vary significantly from year to year
even in years when our overall enrollment does not change
materially.
Data
maintenance fees may also vary significantly from employment enrollment fees in
any given year. Employment enrollment fees are determined based on
the number of HCO enrollees at the end of the calendar
year. Employment enrollment fees do not take into account
fluctuations in HCO enrollment during the year. By comparison, data
maintenance fees are billed as services are provided. Therefore, we
may have years when HCO enrollment is higher during the year than it is at the
end of the calendar year, resulting in variances in data maintenance fees and
employment enrollment fees in a given year.
20
Data
maintenance fees are also impacted by the prices we can negotiate with our third
party service providers.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 we experienced a 10% increase in HCO
enrollment and a 6% increase in MPN enrollment. This led to an
overall enrollment increase of 7%. Data maintenance fees decreased 4%
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in data
maintenance fees was primarily attributable to lower data maintenance costs
associated with the renewal of MPN enrollees and lower prices negotiated with
third party service providers. We expect data
maintenance fees will be lower throughout 2008 as compared to 2007.
General and
Administrative
General and administrative expenses
increased 20% to $235,822 during the nine months ended September 30,
2008. This increase in general & administrative expense was
primarily attributable to increases in travel and entertainment, IT enhancement,
shareholders’ meeting expense related to the stock splits and general price
increases in supplies and services purchased. We expect general and
administrative expenses will be approximately 10% higher for the year ended,
December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended, December 31, 2007.

During the nine months ended September
30, 2008, total revenues were $1,776,879, an increase of $308,057 over the same
period a year earlier. This increase in total revenues of 21% was
partially offset by a 23% increase in total expenses resulting in income from
operations of $190,447 compared to $175,628 during nine months ended September
30, 2007. Correspondingly, we realized a net income of $108,979 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net income $108,124
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. In 2008, we
anticipate a projected 8% increase in consulting fees, a 27% increase in
salaries and wages, a 38% increase in professional fees, a 24% increase in
employee enrollment and a 10% increase in general and administrative expense.
This will be partially offset by an anticipated 5% decrease in data
maintenance. We anticipate these factors will result in an estimated
15% increase in total expenses in 2008. We expect the 15% increase in
total expenses to be partially offset by the projected 5% increase in total
revenue which will result in an increase of 19% in net income for the 2008
fiscal year.
Comparison of the three
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Total revenues increased 8% to $593,109
in the third quarter 2008 over the third quarter 2007. HCO revenues
increased 26% resulting from increased HCO enrollees. MPN revenues
decreased 14% in the third quarter due differing terms of payment, unbundling of
services, price competition and similar factors as compared to the contracts in
place in 2007. During the 3rd quarter
2008, other revenue decreased 2% from the same quarter in 2007 as a result of
decreased nurse case management services to our customers.
21
Total expenses during the three months
ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007
increased 30% to $565,000 primarily as a result of additional personnel,
recording of a bonus accrual, increases in expense levels in other general
administrative expenses and data maintenance.
Consulting
Fees
During
the three months ended September 30, 2008, consulting fees increased to $62,134
from $55,651 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. This
increase in consulting fees of $6,483 was primarily due to contracting with an
additional nurse case manager and consulting fees paid to the President of IRC,
who is also our independent legal consultant to Medex.
Salaries and
Wages
Salaries
and wages increased $102,566 or 67% during the three months ended September 30,
2008 from the same period a year earlier. The increase in salaries
& wages was primarily due to hiring of Vice President of Marketing and a
Chief Financial Officer during the third and fourth quarter of 2007,
respectively. Additionally, the recording of an employee bonus
accrual in September 2008, the hiring of an additional administrative staff
member and a salary increase to the President PHCO also contributed toward this
increase.
Professional
Fees
For the
three months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred professional fees of $38,704
compared to $44,472 during the three months ended September 30,
2007. This 13% decrease in fees was primarily the result of lower
levels of accounting fees.
Insurance
During
the three months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred insurance expenses of
$27,746 a $6,617 decrease over the prior year three months ended September 30,
2007.
Employment
Enrollment
Employment
enrollment was nearly unchanged, increasing only $600 to $18,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2007.
Data
Maintenance
Data
maintenance fees increased 35% during the three months ended September 30, 2008
when compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in data
maintenance fees was primarily attributable to higher enrollment of
employees.
22
General and
Administrative
General and administrative expenses
increased 24% to $86,330 during the three months ended September 30,
2008. This increase in general & administrative expense was
attributable mainly to increases in IT enhancement expense, travel and
entertainment, dues and subscriptions, equipment repairs and office
supplies.
Net
Income
We realized an 8% increase in our total
revenue during the quarter. This increase was offset by a 30%
increase in total expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008,
which led to an $86,371 decrease in income from operations during three months
ended September 30, 2008.
As a result of higher revenues and
higher expenses, we realized a net income of $14,473 compared to $74,075 during
three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash
Flow
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 cash was primarily used to fund
operations. We had a net increase in cash of $177,751 and $205,909 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007,
respectively. See below for additional discussion and analysis of
cash flow.

off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES –
INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO.115. This statement’s objective is
to improve financial reporting by providing us with the opportunity to mitigate
volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value
measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objective
for accounting for financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have
an impact on our financial statements. We presently comment on significant
accounting policies (including fair value of financial instruments) in Note 2 to
the financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 51. This statement’s
objective is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the
financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated
financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that
require ownership interests in the subsidiaries held by parties other than the
parent be clearly identified. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have an impact on
the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS.
This revision statements objective is to improve the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity
provides in its effects on recognizing identifiable assets and measuring
goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141 (revised) did not have an impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
In March 2008,
the FASB issued SFAS No.161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES—AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. This statement’s
objective is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in statement
133. The statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be
disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This
disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks
that the entity is intending to manage. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an
impact on the Company’s financial statements.
24
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. This statement identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used
in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States. The Board believes that the GAAP hierarchy should
be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of SFAS No. 162
did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL GUARANTEE INSURANCE
CONTRACTS—AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 60. This statement
was issued because diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial
guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No.
60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. That diversity
results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim
liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under
FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This Statement
requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an
event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit
deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This
Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee
insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to
account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. The adoption of
SFAS No. 163 does not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting standards
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect both the recorded values of assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the revenues recognized and expenses
incurred during the reporting period. Our estimates and assumptions affect our
recognition of deferred expenses, bad debts, income taxes, the carrying value of
its long-lived assets and its provision for certain contingencies. We evaluate
the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions continually based on a
combination of historical information and other information that comes to its
attention that may vary its outlook for the future. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions.
Management
suggests that our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, as described in
Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, be read in conjunction
with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations. We believe the critical accounting policies that most
impact our consolidated financial statements are described below.
25
Basis of
Accounting — We use the accrual method
of accounting.
Revenue
Recognition —
We apply the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104,
REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (“SAB 104”), which provides guidance
on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial
statements filed with the SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria
that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure
related to revenue recognition policies. In general, we recognize
revenue related to monthly contracted amounts for services provided when (i)
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv)
collectibility is reasonably assured.
Health care service revenues are
recognized in the period in which fees are fixed or determinable and the related
services are provided to the subscriber.
Our subscribers generally pay in
advance for their services by check or electronic check payment, and revenue is
then recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are
provided. Advance payments from subscribers are recorded on the
balance sheet as deferred revenue. In circumstance where payment is
not received in advance, revenue is only recognized if collectability is
reasonably assured. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is established for
any customer who is deemed as possibly uncollectible.
Principles of
Consolidation —
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Forward
Looking Information and Cautionary Statement
We note that certain statements set
forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which provide other than historical
information and which are forward looking, involve risks and uncertainties that
may impact our actual results of operations. We face many risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including but not limited
to: economic conditions generally and in the industry in which we and our
customers participate; competition within our industry, including competition
from much larger competitors; legislative changes which could render our
services less competitive or obsolete; our failure to successfully develop new
services and/or products or to anticipate current or prospective customers’
needs; price increases or employee limitations and retention of key employees;
delays, reductions, or cancellations of contracts we have previously
entered. Readers should consider all of these risk factors as well as
other information contained in this Report.
26
Forward-looking statements are
predictions and not guarantees of future performance or events. The
forward-looking statements are based on current industry, financial and economic
information, which we have assessed but which by its nature, is dynamic and
subject to rapid and possibly abrupt changes. Our actual results could differ
materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements due
to risks and uncertainties associated with our business.
We are a smaller reporting company, as
defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, and accordingly we are not required to provide the information required by
this Item.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required financial
disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of such disclosure
controls and procedures are met.
As of the
end of the period covered by this Report we conducted an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and
15d-15(b). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of September 30, 2008.
Changes in Internal
Control
There was
no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, that materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
We are a smaller reporting company, as
defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, and accordingly we are not required to provide the information required by
this Item.
