PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Our financial statements which are prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X are set forth in this
report beginning on page 25.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information in our
2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the financial statements contained in this report, including
the notes thereto, and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
since December 31, 2006 and our Schedule 14A Proxy Statement filed with the Commission on December
29, 2006 (collectively referred to as the Disclosure Documents). Certain forward-looking
statements contained in this report and in the Disclosure Documents regarding our business and
prospects are based upon numerous assumptions about future conditions that may ultimately prove to
be inaccurate and actual events and results may materially differ from anticipated results
described in the forward-looking statements. Our ability to achieve these results is subject to the
risks and uncertainties discussed in our Form 10-K and in our Proxy Statement. Any forward-looking
statements contained in this report represent our judgment as of the date of this report. We
disclaim, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. As a
result, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Access Plans USA, Inc. (Access Plans) develops and distributes quality affordable consumer
driven healthcare programs for individuals, families, affinity groups and employer groups across
the nation. Our products and programs are designed to deal with the rising costs of healthcare.
They include health insurance plans and non-insurance healthcare discount programs to provide
solutions for the millions of Americans who can no longer afford or do not have access to
traditional health insurance coverage.
The current organization of our business, including our new Insurance Marketing Division, is a
result of our January 30, 2007 merger with Insurance Capital Management USA, Inc. (ICM). As a
result of this merger, and to properly reflect our broadened mission of providing access to
affordable healthcare for all Americans, we changed our name from Precis, Inc. to Access Plans USA,
Inc. Beginning in 2007, our operations are organized under three business divisions:
Consumer Plan Division. Our Consumer Plan Division, which operates as The Capella Group, Inc.
(Capella) and was previously referred to as the Consumer Healthcare Savings segment, develops and
markets non-insurance medical discount programs and defined benefit plans through multiple
distribution channels under the Care Entréetm and other brand
names.
Insurance Marketing Division. Our Insurance Marketing Division, which operates as Insuraco USA
LLC (Insuraco), provides web-based technology, specialty products and marketing of individual
health insurance products and related benefit plans, primarily through a broad network of
independent agency channels under Care Entréetm and other brand
names.
Regional Healthcare Division. Our Regional Healthcare Division, which operates as Access
HealthSource, Inc./Access Administrators, Inc. (AAI) and was previously referred to as the
Employer and Group Healthcare Services segment, offers third-party claims administration, provider
network management, and utilization management services for employer groups that utilize partially
self funded strategies to finance their employee benefit programs.
Summary Results of Operations
For
the second quarter, we reported revenue of $10,261,000, an increase
of $4,611,000 or
81.6%, compared to $5,650,000 during the comparable quarter in 2006. Second quarter 2007 revenue
included $5,586,000 attributable to the insurance marketing operations acquired in the merger with
Insurance Capital Management USA, Inc. on January 30, 2007, which more than offset revenue declines
in the companys Consumer Plan and Regional Health Care divisions.
In the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a non-cash charge of $4,092,000, equal to the full
amount of the carrying value of goodwill of the companys Regional Health Care Division at June 30,
2007. This charge was necessitated by the loss of contract
3
renewals for certain major clients in the El Paso, Texas market. Additionally, earnings for
the quarter were also adversely impacted by $1,341,000 of charges related to unsuccessful marketing
initiatives and non-recurring legal expenses.
Our net loss for the second quarter of 2007 was $5,018,000 or $(.27) per fully diluted share,
compared to a net loss of $179,000 or $(.01) per fully diluted share for the comparable quarter in
2006. Excluding the goodwill charge and other charges noted above, we would have generated
operating income of $398,000, before taxes for the second quarter of 2007. We generated $111,000 of cash from
operating activities during the second quarter of 2007.
For
the first six months of 2007, we reported revenues of $18,461,000
compared to $11,743,000
for the same period of 2006, a year-over-year increase of 57.2%. Revenue for the first six months
of 2007 included $9,014,000 attributed to the insurance marketing operations. We reported a loss
from continuing operations of $5,074,000, or $(.29) per fully diluted share, compared to income
from continuing operations in first six months of 2006 of $691,000 or $.05 per fully diluted share.
Financial results for the first six months of 2007 were impacted by the second quarter goodwill
charge and the other charges and non-recurring legal expenses discussed above. Excluding those
charges and expenses, we would have generated pre-tax operating
income of $339,000 in the first six months of 2007. We have generated
year-to-date cash from operating activities of $681,000.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the Companys
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capella, Insuraco, and AAI. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period
financial statements to conform to the current presentation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain
significant estimates are required in the evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets for
impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be
material.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The recorded amounts of short-term investments, accounts
receivable, income taxes receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
income taxes payable, capital lease obligations and debt approximate fair value because of the
short-term maturity of these items.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides enhanced guidance for
using fair value measurements in financial reporting. While the standard does not expand the use of
fair value in any new circumstance, it has applicability to several current accounting standards
that require or permit entities to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. This standard
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Application
of this standard is required beginning in 2008.
In February 2007, the (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 115, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
This statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value on specified election dates. Such election, which may be applied on an
instrument by instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. Subsequent unrealized gains
and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings.
Management is currently assessing what impact, if any, the application of these standards
could have on the Companys financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue recognition varies based upon source.
Consumer Plan Division Revenues. We recognize Consumer Plan program membership revenues, other
than initial enrollment fees, on each monthly anniversary date. Membership revenues are reduced by
the amount of estimated refunds. For members that are billed directly, the billed amount is
collected almost entirely by electronic charge to the members credit cards, automated
4
clearinghouse or electronic check. The settlement of those charges occurs within a day or two.
Under certain private label arrangements, the Companys private label partners bill their members
for the membership fees and the Companys portion of the membership fees is periodically remitted
to the Company. During the time from the billing of these private-label membership fees and the
remittance to it, the Company records a receivable from the private label partners and records an
estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts. The allowance of uncollectible receivables is based
upon review of the aging of outstanding balances, the credit worthiness of the private label
partner and its history of paying the agreed amounts owed.
Membership enrollment fees, net of direct costs, are deferred and amortized over the estimated
membership period that averages eight to ten months. Independent marketing representative fees, net
of direct costs, are deferred and amortized over the term of the applicable contract. Judgment is
involved in the allocation of costs to determine the direct costs netted against those deferred
revenues, as well as in estimating the membership period over which to amortize such net revenue.
The Company maintains a statistical analysis of the costs and membership periods as a basis for
adjusting these estimates from time to time.
Insurance Marketing Division Revenues. The revenue of our insurance marketing division is
primarily from sales commissions due from the insurance companies we represent. These sales
commissions are generally a percentage of the commissionable insurance premium and other related
amounts charged and collected by the insurance companies. Commission income and policy fees, other
than enrollment fees and corresponding commission expense payable to agents, are generally
recognized at their gross amount, as earned on a monthly basis, until such time as the underlying
policyholder contract is terminated. Advanced commissions received are recorded as unearned
commission revenue. Initial enrollment fees are deferred and amortized over the estimated lives of
the respective policies. The estimated weighted average life for the policies sold ranges from 18
to 24 months and is based upon the Companys historical policyholder contract termination
experience.
Regional Healthcare Division Revenues. AAIs principal sources of revenues include
administrative fees for third-party claims administration, network provider fees for the preferred
provider network and utilization and management fees. These fees are based on monthly or per member
per month fee schedules under specified contractual agreements. Revenues from these services are
recognized in the periods in which the services are performed and when collection is reasonably
assured.
Commission Expense.
Consumer Plan. Commissions on Consumer Plan revenues are accrued in the month in which a
member has enrolled in the Care Entrée program. Commissions on insurance policy premiums are
generally recognized as incurred on a monthly basis until such time as the underlying policyholder
contract is terminated. Commissions on Consumer Plan revenues are only paid to our independent
marketing representatives in the following month after the related membership fees have been
received by us. In 2007 we began advancing on certain Consumer Plan programs to increase sales.
Insurance Marketing. Commission expense is generally recognized as earned on a monthly basis
until such time as the underlying policyholders contract is terminated. Advances of commissions
up to one year are paid to agents in the insurance marketing division based on certain insurance
policy premium commissions.
Acquisition Costs. Certain acquisition costs such as the lead expenses are capitalized and
amortized over the estimated lives of the respective policies. The estimated weighted average life
for the policies sold ranges from eighteen months to two years and is based upon the Companys
historical policyholder contract termination experience.
Stock Option Expense and Option-Pricing Model. Recognized compensation expense for stock
options granted to employees includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments
previously granted, but not yet vested, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based
payments currently granted based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Binomial Lattice option-pricing model is used to estimate the option
fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most
significant are: expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the
risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock
price movements over the most recent periods ending June 30, 2007 equal to the expected option
term. Expected pre-vesting forfeitures were estimated based on actual historical pre-vesting
forfeitures over the most recent periods ending June 30, 2007 for the expected option term. The
risk-free interest rate is based on the interest rate of zero-coupon United States Treasury
securities over the expected option term.

Intangible Asset Valuation. Our intangible assets as of June 30, 2007, consisted primarily of
$16,730,000 of goodwill, $13,343,000 of this is attributable to the January 2007 ICM acquisition.
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of net assets acquired.
Goodwill is not amortized. In June 2007, AAI recorded a $4,092,000 impairment to goodwill that
resulted from failure to obtain certain contract renewals. In 2006, AAI recorded a $4,066,000
impairment to goodwill including tax considerations that resulted from current and projected
reductions in earnings primarily due to a decline in the number of lives covered under plans that
it administered. In 2005, Capella recorded a charge of $12,900,000 due to continuing decline in
members and revenues to a lower level than previously predicted and pending litigation and
regulatory activity that was announced in the second quarter of that year. In 2004, our intangible
assets were reduced by $2,000,000 to reflect impairment of the goodwill related to our acquisition
in 2000 of Foresight. Significant judgments and estimates were required in connection with the
impairment test to determine the estimated future cash flows and fair value of the reporting unit.
Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to
differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The
net deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are
recovered or settled. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we evaluated the probability of
recognizing the benefit of deferred tax assets through the reduction of taxes otherwise payable in
the future. We determined that a valuation allowance to fully offset deferred tax assets is still
appropriate as of June 30, 2007.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable generally represent commissions and fees due from
insurance carriers and plan sponsors. Accounts receivable are reviewed on a monthly basis to
determine if any receivables will be potentially uncollectible. An allowance is provided for any
accounts receivable balance where recovery is considered to be doubtful. Bad debt is written off as
incurred.
Advanced Agent Commissions. Our Insurance Marketing segment advances agent commissions for
certain insurance programs. Repayment of the advanced commissions is typically accomplished by
withholding earned commissions from the agent until such time as the outstanding balance, plus
accumulated interest, has been fully repaid. Advanced agent commissions are reviewed on a quarterly
basis to determine if any advanced agent commissions will likely be uncollectible. An allowance is
provided for any advanced agent commission balance where recovery is considered to be doubtful. Any
bad debt is written off as incurred. We believe all such balances will be collected in full and,
accordingly, we have not recorded any additional provision.
Fixed Assets. Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets for financial reporting purposes and principally on
accelerated methods for tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter.
Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the
physical or economic life of property and equipment are capitalized.
Acquisitions. On January 30, 2007, we completed our merger with Insurance Capital Management
USA, Inc. (ICM). Under the terms of the merger, the shareholders of ICM received our common stock
shares based on the adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted
EBITDA) of ICM and its subsidiary companies. On January 30, 2007, the ICM shareholders were issued
4,498,529 common stock shares. Further, on May 31, 2007, the ICM shareholders received an
additional 2,257,853 common stock shares as a result of the acquired ICM companies achieved
adjusted EBITDA of $1,250,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters ending on December 31, 2006.
Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current periods presentation.

Service Revenues. Our Consumer Plan Division programs have been under continuing pressure from
increasing competition and regulatory scrutiny, as well as the unwillingness of some healthcare
providers to accept our savings cards based on concerns over assurance of payment. In late 2002, we
implemented an escrow account requirement to address provider concerns over assurance of payment.
While this feature had shown limited success in improving acceptance by providers, it made our
programs more complex and difficult to sell. As of December 2006, we discontinued these Personal
Medical Accounts (PMAs) and returned the funds that we held in those accounts to our customers.
In some of the states in which we have a significant number of members, especially Florida, Texas
and California, our healthcare savings products are under scrutiny by state regulators and
officials. This regulatory scrutiny has impaired our ability to market these products in those
states and elsewhere, further contributing to the decline in membership enrollments and increases
in terminated memberships. The table below reflects the decline in our Consumer Plan Division
program membership over the preceding eight fiscal quarters:

During the first quarter and continuing through the second quarter of 2007, the Consumer Plan
Division concentrated resources on three functions designed to increase sales later in the year: 1)
new product development and product packaging, in which new features were added to existing
products and new product lines were created, including defined benefit programs that provide
limited insured
7
benefits; 2) identification and targeting of new distribution channels, including
tele-sales call centers and a new independent agent distribution program; and 3) enhanced systems
applications to streamline processing of business to facilitate a wider range of distribution
channels and expand the companys web-based technology capabilities. These efforts resulted in
significantly higher costs, that were charged to General and Administrative expenses as discussed
below.
Commissions. The decreases in commissions from the three-month period ending June 30, 2006 to
the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the six
months ended June 30, 2007 were due to the decreased membership revenue discussed previously. The
decrease in commissions as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to reduced override
commissions for terminated sales representatives.
Cost of Operations. The decrease in cost of operations from the three months ended June 30,
2006 to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was due primarily to reduction in variable costs of
$254,000 that include reduction in provider network fees of $221,000 related to decreased
membership revenue, discussed previously, and decrease in customer service costs of $82,000 related
to outsourcing customer service functions that was implemented in December 2006, offset by an
increase in short-term system enhancement costs for new applications to support new product
initiatives of $84,000.
The decrease in cost of operations from the six month period ending June 30, 2006 to the six
month period ending June 30, 2007 was due to reduction in variable costs of $491,000 that include
reduction in provider network fees of $420,000 related to decreased membership revenue, discussed
previously, and decrease in customer service costs of $171,000 related to outsourcing customer
service functions that was implemented in December 2006. This decrease was offset by an increase
in short-term system enhancement costs for new applications to support new product initiatives of
$224,000 . The increase in cost of operations as a percent of revenue was primarily due to the
increase in system cost as discussed previously.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. The increase in sales and marketing expenses from the three
months ended June 30, 2006 to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was due primarily to new product
roll-outs in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses from the
six months ended June 30, 2006 to the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to higher
consulting costs of $116,000 for various sales and marketing activities during the first quarter of
2006.
General and Administrative Expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses from
the three months ended June 30, 2006 to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was due primarily to
costs of $522,000 related to new product development and marketing initiatives, that have not begun
to generate earnings, and an increase in legal and legal settlement costs of $328,000 related to
the Zermino lawsuit discussed in Part II of this report and the costs associated with the filing of
an application for a license under California Knox-Keene Act. This increase was offset by
decreases in staffing, occupancy and other related costs of $492,000 as the result of the
outsourcing, office relocation and other management initiatives. The increase in general and
administrative expenses as a percent of revenue is due to the reasons discussed previously.
The increase in general and administrative expenses from the six months ended June 30, 2006 to
the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to the expenses related to new product
development and marketing initiatives and legal costs and settlements incurred in the second
quarter discussed previously. This increase was offset by decreases for outsourcing and office
relocation and other management initiatives of $908,000. The increase in general and
administrative expenses as a percent of revenue was due to the reasons discussed previously.

Operating results for the Insurance Marketing Division are included only from February 2007
forward, after the completion on January 30, 2007 of the acquisition of Insurance Capital
Management USA, Inc. However, ICMs 2006 results prior to acquisition are discussed below for
comparative purposes.
Service Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $5,586,000, an increase
of 28% over the prior year pre-acquisition quarter revenue of $4,300,000, is primarily due to
growth in major medical insurance sales through the AHCP agency channel. Year-to-date revenues of
$9,014,000 are also approximately 28% higher than the corresponding prior year pre-acquisition
period for the same reasons previously discussed.
Commissions and Cost of Operations. Commissions and cost of operations, as a percentage of
revenues approximate 70% for both the second quarter and year to date.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses from the three months
ended June 30, 2007 include an asset impairment charge of $174,000 attributable to an unsuccessful
tele-sales marketing initiative. Without this charge, combined sales, marketing and general and
administrative costs would have aggregated $1,114,000, level with the pro-rated corresponding
amount for the two months ended March 31, 2007.
Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $366,000 is
consistent with the pro-rated corresponding amount for the two month period ended March 31, 2007.
Without the impairment charge previously discussed, operating income for the second quarter 2007
would have been $540,000. This increase over 2006 is the result of growth in revenue and the
relatively fixed nature of the majority of operating expenses.

Service Revenues. The primary element of our Regional Healthcare Division is our wholly-owned
subsidiary, AAI, through which we offer full third-party administration services. Through AAI, we
provide a wide range of healthcare claims administration services and other cost containment
procedures that are frequently required by state and local governmental entities and other large
employers that have chosen to self fund their required healthcare benefits. AAI helps us offer a
more complete suite of healthcare service products. Also through AAI, we provide individuals and
employee groups access to preferred provider networks, medical escrow accounts and full third-party
administration capabilities to adjudicate and pay medical claims.
During June and July of 2007, we received notice that our contracts with two of our major
customers would not be renewed. Together, these contracts account for approximately $3,300,000 or
50% of AAIs total annual revenue. The loss of revenue from those contracts is expected to
adversely impact our results of operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007, when the
non-renewed contracts expire. The loss of these contracts along with other events contributed to
the re-evaluation of the carrying value of AAIs goodwill as discussed below.
Regional Healthcare Services revenues from the three months and six months ended June 30,
2006 to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased primarily due to the decline
in the number of lives covered in the plans of one of our major customers.
Cost of Operations. The decreases in cost of operations from the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were due primarily to decreased
revenues discussed previously. The increases in cost of operations as a percent of revenue were
because fixed costs did not decline proportionately with the revenue decline discussed above.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. The decreases in sales and marketing expenses from the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2006 to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007
were primarily due to decreases in sales and public relations activities. AAI maintains direct
relationships with its large self-funded clients in the El Paso market and does not utilize
advertising or outside sales forces.
10
General and Administrative Expenses. The increases in general and administrative expenses from
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 to the three months and six months ended June
30, 2007 are due primarily to substantially greater legal fees and settlements in 2007 related to
the investigation of AAI as discussed below.
Goodwill Impairment. During the second quarter, and in July 2007, we announced several
adverse events related to the loss of two major customers and possible loss or non-renewal of
another major customer beyond contract expirations in 2007. Further, we reported on the status of
an investigation that we believe involves allegations of executive officer corruption relating to
contract procurement by AAI and other companies from certain local governmental entities. Failure
to obtain these contract renewals and other events are expected to result in a substantial decline
in revenues. That decline in revenue represents a significant adverse change in the business
climate that will adversely affect the value of AAI. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2007, we
re-evaluated the carrying value of goodwill related to AAI and determined that an impairment charge
for the recorded amount of $4,092,000 was appropriate.
Corporate and Other. The operating costs for our corporate and other activities were as follows:

Until December, 2006 we reported the financial results of our wholly-owned subsidiary Care
Financial of Texas, L.L.C. (Care Financial) as a separate segment, Financial Services. Financial
Services included two divisions Care Financial which offered high deductible and scheduled
benefit insurance policies and Care 125 which offered life insurance and annuities, along with
Healthcare Savings Accounts (HSAs), Healthcare Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) and medical and
dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Care 125 was discontinued in December 2006 and
Care Financial is now included with Corporate and Other.
Service Revenues and Commissions. Revenues for Care Financial continue to decline as we have
de-emphasized this product line.
General and Administrative Expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses from
the three months ended June 30, 2006 to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to
increase in management personnel costs related to integration of ICM.
The increase in general and administrative expenses from the six months ended June 30, 2006 to
the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to stock options awarded to officers and
directors of $260,000 during the first quarter 2007 and the increases in the second quarter
previously discussed.
Income Tax Provision
SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires the separate recognition, measured at
currently enacted tax rates, of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the tax effect
of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and
liabilities, and net operating loss carry forward balances for tax purposes. A valuation allowance
must be established for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that all or a portion
will not be realized. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had non-current deferred tax
assets of $105,000 and $387,000, respectively, and current deferred tax liabilities of $105,000 and
11
$387,000, respectively. The non-current deferred tax asset is primarily due to the net operating
loss carry-forward that if not utilized will expire at various dates through 2020, offset by a
deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1,287,000. The deferred tax liability is primarily due
to prepaid expenses. We evaluate the probability of recognizing the benefit of deferred tax assets
through the reduction of taxes otherwise payable in the future and provide an allowance against the
carrying amount of such deferred tax assets if it is more probable than not that some or all of the
assets will not be realized.
On July 14, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48
prescribes guidance to address inconsistencies among entities with the measurement and recognition
in accounting for income tax positions for financial statement purposes. Specifically, FIN 48
addresses the timing of the recognition of income tax benefits. FIN 48 requires the financial
statement recognition of an income tax benefit when the company determines that it is
more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be ultimately sustained. We adopted the provisions
of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) on January 1,
2007. We have analyzed all filing positions in federal and state tax jurisdictions where we are
required to file income tax returns. Our major tax jurisdictions include the federal jurisdiction
and the state of Texas. Tax years open to examination include 2003 through 2006 for the federal
return. A federal audit for 2004 has been completed with no change to our tax liability. The Texas
audit for Capella for the years 2002-2005 have been concluded with no material change to our tax
provision. We have elected to recognize penalties and interest related to tax liabilities as a
component of income tax expense and income taxes payable. As of June 30, 2007, income taxes payable
included $99,000 of accrued interest expense and $26,000 of accrued penalties related to state tax
liabilities. We plan to settle the state tax liabilities and pay any related interest and
penalties during 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $111,000 and $1,257,000, respectively.
The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $1,146,000 was due primarily to a
federal tax refund of $994,000 received in the second quarter of 2006.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the six
months ended June 30, 2006 was $681,000 and $1,872,000, respectively. The decrease in net cash
provided by operating activities of $1,191,000 was due primarily to a receipt of a state franchise
tax refund of $133,000 in first quarter of 2006 and the federal tax refund discussed previously.
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 was $237,000 and net cash used for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was
$1,383,000. The increase in net cash from investing activities of $1,620,000 was due primarily to
the increase in the cash requirement to maintain restricted short-term investments of $1,170,000 in
second quarter of 2006.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $115,000
and net cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $2,131,000. The increase in net cash
from investing activities of $2,246,000 was due primarily to cash used in a business combination
related to our acquisition of AAI of $521,000 in the first quarter of 2006 and cash provided by the
decrease in the requirement to maintain restricted short-term investments, as discussed above.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June
30, 2007 and the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $241,000 and $68,000, respectively. The
increase in net cash used in financing activities of $173,000 was due primarily to a net decrease
in deferred commissions of $319,000, offset by an increase in accrued costs for the ICM
acquisition of $68,000 and an increase in short term debt of $109,000.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the six
months ended June 30, 2006 was $172,000 and $136,000, respectively. The increase in net cash used
in financing activities of $36,000 was primarily due to a net decrease in deferred commissions of
$156,000, offset by net increases as discussed above.
On June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 we had working capital of $1,904,000,
$2,331,000 and $3,996,000, respectively. The decrease in working capital from March 31, 2007 of
$427,000 was due primarily to an increase in accrued liabilities related to legal fees and
settlement costs in the Consumer Plan and Regional Healthcare segments as discussed previously. The
decrease in working capital from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 of $2,092,000 is due primarily
to the assumption of liabilities related to the January 2007 ICM acquisition and legal fees
previously discussed.
12
We have obtained line of credit facilities and short-term notes from a commercial banking
institution and from a specialty lending corporation. The commercial bank outstanding balance at
June 30, 2007 of $1,865,000 comprises $906,000 of short term notes, and $959,000 drawn down under
the current line of credit facilities and the proceeds are used to fund the advancing of agent
commissions for certain programs. These debt obligations are collateralized by certain future
commissions and fees. At June 30, 2007 we are able to borrow an additional $291,000 under this
facility provided that the borrowings are solely for the funding of advanced agent commissions.
$473,500 of the total commercial bank borrowings of $1,865,000 mature and became payable July 15,
2007 and were paid during the third quarter of 2007. The remaining balance of $1,392,000 has
scheduled maturity dates in 2008 and is expected to be fully paid prior to March 31, 2008.
Interest is charged at prime plus 1.5%. We are the primary party on the loan agreement and Peter
Nauert, our Chairman, has executed a personal guarantee.
As part of the ICM acquisition, we assumed a three-year loan that was obtained in November
2006, from a specialty lending corporation in the amount of $600,000 of which $552,000 remains
outstanding at June 30, 2007. $204,000 of the outstanding balance has been classified as
short-term debt and the remaining balance of $348,000 has been classified as long-term debt. The
loan bears interest at prime plus 5.0%. We are the primary party on the loan agreement and Peter
Nauert, our Chairman, has executed a personal guarantee.
We do not have any capital commitments. However, we may utilize capital for strategic
acquisitions should such opportunities present themselves. We require working capital to advance
commissions to our agents prior to our receipt of the underlying commission from the insurance
carrier. We have access to a sufficient amount of working capital to meet our needs, but our
ability to grow the Insurance Marketing Division will depend on our ability to gain access to
increasing amounts of working capital sources. We
believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash provided by operations, will be
sufficient to fund our normal operations and capital expenditures for the next 12 months. However,
growth in our Insurance Marketing Division may necessitate additional financing to fund future
advances.
Because our capital requirements cannot be predicted with certainty, there is no assurance
that we will not require any additional financing during the next 12 months, and if required, that
any additional financing will be available on terms satisfactory to us or advantageous to our
stockholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not have any investments in market risk sensitive instruments.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are primarily responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Furthermore, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are responsible for
the design and supervision of our internal controls over financial reporting that are then effected
by and through our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These
policies and procedures
|
|
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
|
|
|
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of our management and directors, and |
13
|
|
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our
financial statements. |
In connection with our quarter end close process and the preparation of this report, an
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at June 30, 2007. However, in the
prior quarter the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2007, due to one material
weakness and one significant deficiency in internal control over financial reporting noted below.
Our management reported to our auditors and the audit committee of our board of directors that,
other than the changes being implemented to remediate the material weakness and significant
deficiency noted below, no other change in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting occurred during the second quarter of 2007 that would materially
affect or was reasonably likely to materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures or
internal control over financial reporting.
Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the first quarter of 2007 and the subsequent evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures effective as of March 31, 2007, management recognized the need to improve its internal
controls over financial reporting in the following areas:
Material Weakness
|
|
|
Processes and controls for the recording of insurance commission revenues for the
insurance marketing operation acquired during the quarter were not sufficient to provide for
the timely recording of revenue transactions. |
Significant Deficiency
|
|
|
Processes and controls for recording stock option expense pursuant to SFAS 123R did not
provide for timely recording of stock option expense. |
We remediated these weaknesses during the second quarter.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no new legal proceedings to report during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Except as described below, there have been no developments on legal proceedings discussed in our
2006 annual report on Form 10-K.
Kirk, et al v Precis, Inc. and David May. On September 8, 2003, the case styled Robert Kirk,
Individually and D/B/A US Asian Advisors, LLC, et al vs. Precis, Inc. and David May, Defendants
was initiated in the District Court of Tarrant County, Texas, Case No. 236 201 468 03. The
plaintiffs alleged that they were not allowed to exercise certain stock options and warrants in May
2003 due to actions and inactions of Mr. May and that these actions and inactions constitute fraud,
misrepresentation, negligence and legal malpractice. Plaintiffs sought damages equal to the
difference between the exercise price of the stock options or warrants and the market value of our
common stock on May 7, 2002 (presumably the closing sale price of $15.75) or an aggregate sum of
$1,592,050, plus exemplary damages and costs. On July 13, 2005, the court entered a judgment in
our favor, ordering that the plaintiffs take nothing by way of their lawsuit. The order set aside a
previous jury verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. The trial courts judgment was
14
affirmed by the
Court of Appeals for the Second Judicial District of Texas and, in July 2007, the Texas Supreme
Court declined to review the case. The plaintiffs may request reconsideration or may apply for a
writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. While we cannot offer any assurance as to the
outcome of the appeal, we believe that there exists no basis on which the judgment in our favor
will be overturned.
Investigation of National Center for Employment of the Disabled, Inc. and Access HealthSource,
Inc.(AAI) In June 2004, we acquired AAI and its subsidiaries from National Center for Employment
of the Disabled, Inc. (now known as Ready One Industries, NCED). Robert E. Jones, the C.E.O. of
NCED was elected to and served on our Board of Directors until his March 2006 resignation. Frank
Apodaca served as the President and C.E.O. of AAI from the date of our 2004 acquisition until
August 3, 2007, on which date he was notified that his employment with us would end on September 3,
2007. Mr. Apodaca also served as Chief Administrative Officer and a member of the Board of
Directors of NCED. Mr. Apodaca also served as our President from June 10, 2004 to January 30, 2007.
Until July 2006, his employment agreement with us allowed him to spend up to 20% of his time on
matters related to NCEDs operations. NCED is one of our greater than 10% shareholders as a result
of shares it received from our acquisition of AAI.
There is a continuing federal investigation of AAI and Mr. Apodaca and there has been
publicity in the El Paso, Texas area about the investigation which involves several elected
officials and over 20 companies that do business with local government entities in the El Paso
area. Although no indictments of Mr. Apodaca or AAI have occurred, we believe that the
investigation involves, among other things, allegations of official corruption relating to contract
procurement by Mr. Apodaca and AAI and other companies from these local governmental entities. We
can offer no assurance as to the outcome of the investigation.
Mr. Apodaca has been placed on administrative leave and has been
given notice that his employment will terminate on September 3,
2007. In addition to the negative
financial effect from the loss of business we have suffered and may suffer as a result of the
investigation and the publicity surrounding the
investigation, our financial condition and the results of our operations will be materially
affected should the investigation result in formal allegations of wrongdoing by AAI. We may be
required to pay fines or restitution, and our ability to operate AAI under its state licenses may
be restricted or terminated. In addition, the publicity and financial effect resulting from the
investigation may affect our other divisions ability to attract business, secure financing, and
general reputation.
We are a party to various other claims and legal proceedings arising out of the normal course
of our business. Although there can be no assurance, in the opinion of management, the ultimate
outcome of these other claims and lawsuits should not have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our Risk Factors
The matters discussed below and elsewhere in this report should be considered when evaluating
our business operations and strategies. Additionally, there may be risks and uncertainties that we
are not aware of or that we currently deem immaterial, which may become material factors affecting
our operations and business success. Many of the factors are not within our control. We provide no
assurance that one or more of these factors will not:
|
|
|
adversely affect the market price of our common stock, |
|
|
|
|
adversely affect our future operations, |
|
|
|
|
adversely affect our business, |
|
|
|
|
adversely affect our financial condition, |
|
|
|
|
adversely affect our results of operations, |
|
|
|

require significant reduction or discontinuance of our operations, |
|
|
|
|
require us to seek a merger partner, or |
15
|
|
|
require us to sell additional stock on terms that are highly dilutive to our shareholders. |

DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2007 AND DURING 2006, 2005 AND 2004 WE INCURRED LOSSES FROM
OPERATIONS AND THESE LOSSES MAY CONTINUE.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004
we incurred losses from continuing operations of $5,074,000, $6,814,000, $13,229,000 and
$1,657,000, respectively and net losses of $5,074,000, $7,724,000, $13,371,000 and $1,956,000,
respectively. As part of those operating losses and net losses, we incurred goodwill impairment
charges of $4,092,000, $6,866,000 including tax considerations of $426,000, $12,900,000 and
$2,000,000 in 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In 2007, we recorded goodwill impairment
charges of $4,092,000 for AAI due to the loss of significant contracts. In 2006, we recorded
goodwill impairment charges of $4,066,000 including tax considerations of $426,000 for AAI and
$2,800,000 for Capella, respectively. In 2005, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of
$12,900,000 related to Capella. In 2004, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $2,000,000
related to Foresight, Inc. (Foresight). The operating loss before goodwill impairment charges in
2005 was primarily attributable to the continuing costs associated with our Care
Entréetm medical savings program. There is no assurance that losses
from our Care Entréetm medical savings program will not continue or
that our other operations will become or continue to be profitable in 2007 or thereafter.
OUR REVENUES IN THE CONSUMER PLAN DIVISION ARE LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE INDEPENDENT MARKETING
REPRESENTATIVES, WHOSE REDUCED SALES EFFORTS OR TERMINATION MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF
REVENUES.
Our success and growth depend in large part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate
the network of independent marketing representatives who principally market our Care
Entréetm medical savings program and the USA Healthcare Savings
products that we are introducing in 2007. Our independent marketing representatives typically offer
and sell the Care Entréetm program on a part-time basis, and may
engage in other business activities. These marketing representatives may give higher priority to
other products or services, reducing their efforts devoted to marketing our Care
Entréetm program. Also, our ability to attract and retain marketing
representatives could be negatively affected by adverse publicity relating to our Care
Entréetm program and operations.
Under our network marketing system, the marketing representatives downline organizations are
headed by a relatively small number of key representatives who are responsible for a substantial
percentage of our total revenues. The loss of a significant number of marketing representatives,
including any key representatives, for any reason, could adversely affect our revenues and
operating results, and could impair our ability to attract new distributors.
16
A LARGE PART OF OUR CONSUMER PLAN DIVISION REVENUES ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY RELATIONSHIPS WITH A FEW
PRIVATE LABEL RESELLERS AND WE MAY BECOME MORE DEPENDENT ON SALES BY A FEW PRIVATE LABEL
RESELLERS.
Our revenues from sales of our independent marketing representatives have declined and
continue to decline. As a result, we have become more dependent on sales made by private label
resellers to whom we sell our discount medical programs. If sales made by our independent marketing
representatives continue to decline or if our efforts to increase sales through private label
resellers succeed, we may become more dependent on sales made by our private label resellers.
Because a large number of these sales may be made by a few resellers, our revenues and operating
results may be adversely affected by the loss of our relationship with any of those private label
resellers.
DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH PREFERRED PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS ARE CRITICAL
AND THE LOSS OF SUCH RELATIONSHIPS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
As part of our business operations, we must develop and maintain relationships with preferred
provider organizations within each market area that our services are offered. Development and
maintenance of these relationships with healthcare providers within a preferred provider
organization is in part based on professional relationships and the reputation of our management
and marketing personnel. Because many members that receive healthcare services are self-insured and
responsible for payment for healthcare services received, failure to pay or late payments by
members may negatively affect our relationship with the preferred provider
organizations. Consequently, preferred provider organization relationships may be adversely
affected by events beyond our control, including departures of key personnel and alterations in
professional relationships and members failures to pay for services received. The loss of a
preferred provider organization within a geographic market area may not be replaced on a timely
basis, if at all, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
WE CURRENTLY RELY HEAVILY ON ONE KEY PREFERRED PROVIDER ORGANIZATION AND THE LOSS OF OR A CHANGE
IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS PROVIDER COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
Private Healthcare Systems (PHCS), a division of MultiPlan, Inc., is the preferred provider
organization through which most of our members obtain savings on medical services through our Care
Entréetm program. The loss of PHCS as a preferred provider
organization or a disruption of our members access to PHCS could affect our ability to retain our
members and could, therefore, adversely affect our business. While we currently enjoy a good
relationship with PHCS and MultiPlan, there are no assurances that we will continue to have a good
relationship with them in the future, or that MultiPlan, having recently acquired PHCS, may choose
to change its business strategy in a way that adversely affects us by either limiting or
terminating our members access to the PHCS network or by entering into agreements with our
competitors to provide their members access to PHCS.
WE FACE COMPETITION FOR MARKETING REPRESENTATIVES AS WELL AS COMPETITIVE OFFERINGS OF HEALTHCARE
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
Within the healthcare savings membership industry competition for members is becoming more
intense. We offer membership programs that provide products and services similar to or directly in
competition with products and services offered by our network-marketing competitors as well as the
providers of such products and services through other channels of distribution. Some of our private
label resellers have chosen to sell a product that is competitive to ours in order to maintain
multiple sources for their products. Others may also choose to sell competing products.
Furthermore, marketing representatives have a variety of products that they can choose to market,
whether competing with us in the healthcare market or not.
Our business operations compete in two channels of competition. First, we compete based upon
the healthcare products and services offered. These competitors include companies that offer
healthcare products and services through membership programs much like our programs, as well as
insurance companies, preferred provider organization networks and other organizations that offer
benefit programs to their customers. Second, we compete with all types of network marketing
companies throughout the U.S. for new marketing representatives. Many of our competitors have
substantially larger customer bases and greater financial and other resources.
17
We provide no assurance that our competitors will not provide healthcare benefit programs
comparable or superior to our programs at lower membership prices or adapt more quickly to evolving
healthcare industry trends or changing industry requirements. Increased competition may result in
price reductions, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share, any of which could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There is no assurance that we
will be able to compete effectively with current and future competitors.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIMIT OUR OPERATIONS.
Most of the discount medical programs that we offer through our Consumer Plan Division are
sold without the need for an insurance license by any federal, state or local regulatory licensing
agency or commission. In comparison, companies that provide insurance benefits and operate
healthcare management organizations and preferred provider organizations are regulated by state
licensing agencies and commissions. These regulations extensively cover operations, including scope
of benefits, rate formula, delivery systems, utilization review procedures, quality assurance,
enrollment requirements, claim payments, marketing and advertising. Several states have enacted
laws and regulations overseeing discount medical plans. We do not know the full extent of these
regulations and additional states may also impose regulation. Our need to comply with these
regulations may adversely affect or limit our future operations. The cost of complying with these
laws and regulations has and will likely continue to have a material effect on our financial
position.
Government regulation of health and life insurance, annuities and healthcare coverage and
health plans is a changing area of law and varies from state to state. Although we are not an
insurance company, the insurance companies from which we obtain our
products and financial services are subject to various federal and state regulations
applicable to their operations. These insurance companies must comply with constantly evolving
regulations and make changes occasionally to services, products, structure or operations in
accordance with the requirements of those regulations. We may also be limited in how we market and
distribute our products and financial services as a result of these laws and regulations.
We market memberships in associations that have been formed to provide various consumer
benefits to their members. These associations may include in their benefit packages insurance
products that are issued under group or blanket policies covering the associations members. Most
states allow these memberships to be sold under certain circumstances without a licensed insurance
agent making each sale. If a state were to determine that our sales of these memberships do not
comply with their regulations, our ability continue selling such memberships would be affected and
we might be subject to fines and penalties and may have to issue refunds or provide restitution to
the associations and their members.
WE MAINTAIN DATA THAT IS PRIVATE TO OUR MEMBERS AND CUSTOMERS. OUR FAILURE TO PROTECT THAT DATA
COULD ADVERSLY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL POSITION AND OPERATIONS BY DAMAGING OUR REPUTATION, HARMING
OUR BUSINESS AND CAUSING US TO EXPEND CAPITAL AND OTHER RESOURCES TO PROTECT AGAINST FUTURE
SECURITY BREACHES.
Certain of our services are based upon the collection, distribution, and protection of
sensitive private data. Unauthorized users might access that data, and human error or technological
failures might cause the wrongful dissemination of that data. If we experience a security breach,
the integrity of certain of our services may be affected and such a breach could violate
certain of our marketing partner agreements, which could give our marketing partners the right to
terminate such agreements with us. We have incurred, and may incur in the future, significant
costs to protect against the threat of a security breach. We may also incur significant costs to
solve problems that may be caused by future breaches or to prevent such breaches. Any breach or
perceived breach could subject us to legal claims from our marketing partners or customers and/or
regulatory or law enforcement entities under laws that govern the protection of non-public personal
information. Moreover, any public perception that we have engaged in the unauthorized release of,
or have failed to adequately protect, private information could adversely affect our ability to
attract and retain members and customers. In addition, unauthorized third parties might alter
information in our databases, which would adversely affect both our ability to market our services
and the credibility of our information.
THE FAILURE OF OUR NETWORK MARKETING ORGANIZATION TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATION
COULD RESULT IN ENFORCEMENT ACTION AND IMPOSITION OF PENALTIES, MODIFICATION OF OUR NETWORK
MARKETING SYSTEM, AND NEGATIVE PUBLICITY.
18
Our network marketing organization is subject to federal and state laws and regulations
administered by the Federal Trade Commission and various state agencies. These laws and regulations
include securities, franchise investment, business opportunity and criminal laws prohibiting the
use of pyramid or endless chain types of selling organizations. These regulations are generally
directed at ensuring that product and service sales are ultimately made to consumers (as opposed to
other marketing representatives) and that advancement within the network marketing organization is
based on sales of products and services, rather than on investment in the company or other
non-retail sales related criteria.
The compensation structure of a network marketing organization is very complex. Compliance
with all of the applicable regulations and laws is uncertain because of:
|
|
|
the evolving interpretations of existing laws and regulations, and |
|
|
|
|
the enactment of new laws and regulations pertaining in general to network marketing
organizations and product and service distribution. |
Accordingly, there is the risk that our network marketing system could be found to not comply
with applicable laws and regulations that could:
|
|
|
result in enforcement action and imposition of penalty, |
|
|
|
|
require modification of the marketing representative network system, |
|
|
|
|
result in negative publicity, or |
|
|
|
|
have a negative effect on distributor morale and loyalty. |
Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations as
well as our financial condition.
THE LEGALITY OF OUR NETWORK MARKETING ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO CHALLENGE BY OUR MARKETING
REPRESENTATIVES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DEFENSE COSTS, SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS OR
JUDGMENTS, AND COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION.
Our network marketing organization is subject to legality challenge by our marketing
representatives, both individually and as a class. Generally, these challenges would be based on
claims that our marketing network program was operated as an illegal pyramid scheme in violation
of federal securities laws, state unfair practice and fraud laws and the Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act. Proceedings resulting from these claims could result in significant
defense costs, settlement payments, or judgments, and could have a material adverse effect on us.
THE ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES OF OUR INDEPENDENT MARKETING REPRESENTATIVES AND
PRIVATE-LABEL CUSTOMERS ARE SUBJECT TO AND MAY VIOLATE FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATION CAUSING US TO
BE SUBJECT TO THE IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTIES, FINES, INJUNCTIONS AND LOSS OF STATE LICENSES.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and most states regulate advertising, product claims, and
other consumer matters, including advertising of our healthcare savings products. All advertising,
promotional and solicitation materials used by our independent marketing representatives and
private label customers must be approved by us prior to use. We are currently under investigation
by the Texas Attorney General as a result of the activities of one of our private label customers,
with whom we have terminated our relationship. While we have not been the target of FTC
enforcement action for the advertising of, or product claims related to, our healthcare savings
products, there can be no assurance that the FTC will not question our advertising or other
operations in the future. In addition, there can be no assurance that a state, in addition to
Texas, will not interpret our product claims presumptively valid under federal law as illegal under
that states regulations, or that future FTC regulations or decisions will not restrict the
permissible scope of the claimed savings. We are subject to the risk of claims by our independent
marketing representatives and private label customers and members of our Care Entree programs and
those under private label arrangements may file actions on their own behalf, as a class or
otherwise, and may file complaints with the FTC or state or local consumer affairs offices. These
agencies may take action on their own initiative against us for alleged advertising or product
claim violations. These actions may include consent decrees and the refund of amounts paid by the
complaining members, refunds to an entire class of independent marketing representatives, private
label customers or members, or other damages, as well as changes in our method of doing business.
A complaint because of a practice of one independent marketing representative or private label
customer, whether or not that practice was authorized by us, could result in an order affecting
some or all of our independent marketing
19
representatives and private label customers in the
particular state, and an order in one state could influence courts or government agencies in other
states considering similar matters. Proceedings resulting from these complaints may result in
significant defense costs, settlement payments or judgments and could have a material adverse
effect on our operations.
WE MAY HAVE EXPOSURE AND LIABILITY RELATING TO NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE HEALTH INSURANCE
PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996 AND THE COST OF COMPLIANCE COULD BE MATERIAL.
In April 2003 privacy regulations promulgated by The Department of Health and Human Services
pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). HIPAA
imposes extensive restrictions on the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health
information by certain entities. Also as part of HIPAA, the Department of Health and Human Services
has issued final regulations standardizing electronic transactions between health plans, providers
and clearinghouses. Healthcare plans, providers and claims administrators are required to conform
their electronic and data processing systems to HIPAA electronic transaction requirements. While we
believe we are currently compliant with these regulations, we cannot be certain of the extent to
which the enforcement or interpretation of these regulations will affect our business. Our
continuing compliance with these regulations, therefore, may have a significant impact on our
business operations and may be at material cost in the event we are subject to these regulations.
Sanctions for failing to comply with standards issued pursuant to HIPAA include criminal and civil
sanctions.
DISRUPTIONS IN OUR OPERATIONS DUE TO OUR RELIANCE ON OUR MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM MAY OCCUR
AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS.
We manage information related to our Consumer Plan Division membership primarily on management
information system. This is a proprietary system and we do not rely on any third party for its
support and maintenance. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue operating without
experiencing any disruptions in our operations or that our relationships with our members,
marketing representatives or providers will not be adversely affected or that our internal controls
will not be adversely affected.
WE HAVE MANY COMPETITORS AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WHICH MAY LEAD TO A LACK OF
REVENUES AND DISCONTINUANCE OF OUR OPERATIONS.
We compete with numerous well-established companies that design and implement membership
programs and other healthcare programs. Some of our competitors may be companies that have programs
that are functionally similar or superior to our programs. Most of our competitors possess
substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than us. They may also
have established reputations relating to their programs.
Due to competitive market forces, we may experience price reductions, reduced gross margins
and loss of market share in the future, any of which would result in decreases in sales and
revenues. These decreases in revenues would adversely affect our business and results of operations
and could lead to discontinuance of operations. There can be no assurance that:
|
|
|
we will be able to compete successfully; |
|
|
|
|
our competitors will not develop programs that render our programs less marketable or even obsolete; or |
|
|
|
|
we will be able to successfully enhance our programs when necessary. |
20
THE GOODWILL ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO OUR ACQUISITIONS OF CAPELLA, AAI AND ICM MAY BECOME FURTHER
IMPAIRED AND REQUIRE A WRITE-DOWN AND THE RECOGNITION OF AN IMPAIRMENT EXPENSE THAT MAY BE
SUBSTANTIAL.
In connection with our acquisitions of Capella, AAI and ICM, we recorded goodwill that had an
aggregate asset value of $16,725,000 at June 30, 2007. This carrying value has been reduced through
impairment charges of $4,092,000 in 2007, $6,866,000 in 2006, $12,900,000 in 2005, and $2,000,000
in 2004. In the event that the goodwill is determined to be further impaired for any reason, we
will be required to write-down or reduce the value of the goodwill and recognize an additional
impairment expense. The impairment expense may be substantial in amount and, in such case,
adversely affect the results of our operations for the applicable period and may negatively affect
the market value of our common stock.
OUR SUBSIDIARY, AAI, DERIVES A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF ITS INCOME FROM A FEW KEY CLIENTS AND THE LOSS
OF ANY OF THOSE CLIENTS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
AAI provides full service third-party administration services to adjudicate and pay medical
claims for employers who have self-funded all or any portion of their healthcare costs. Their
primary market is governmental entities in the metropolitan area of El Paso, Texas, including
cities and school districts. There are a limited number of these types of entities within that
metropolitan area. During the second quarter, and in July 2007, we announced several adverse events
related to the loss of two major customers and possible loss or non-renewal of another major
customer beyond contract expirations in 2007. As of June 30, 2007, we re-evaluated the carrying
value of goodwill related to AAI and determined that an impairment charge of $4,092,000 that
reduced the carrying value of the goodwill to zero for the loss of these contracts was appropriate.
There is no assurance that AAI will obtain renewal or extension on its
remaining contracts. The loss of any of these remaining contractual relationships will
adversely affect on our operating results and the loss of more than one of these contractual
relationships could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
WE MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO INTEGRATE INSURACOS BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS WITH OUR BUSINESS AND
OPERATIONS.
Although we believe that Insuracos marketing and distribution of insurance products and
financial services will complement and fit well with our business and the need for marketing of our
healthcare savings programs and third-party claims administration services, Insuracos business is
new to us. Our unfamiliarity with this business may make it more difficult to integrate Insuracos
operations with ours. We will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger-acquisition unless
we successfully integrate the Insuraco operations. There can be no assurance that this will occur.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THE FAILURE OF SUCH SERVICE PROVIDERS TO
ADEQUATELY PROVIDE SERVICES TO US COULD AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS BECAUSE SUCH FAILURE COULD
AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.
As a cost efficiency measure, we have entered into agreements with third parties for their
provision of services to us in exchange for a monthly fee normally calculated on a per member
basis. These services include the enrollment of members through different media, operation of a
member-services call center, claims administration, billing and collection services, and the
production and distribution of fulfillment member marketing materials. One of these is our
agreement with Lifeguard Emergency Travel, Inc. (Lifeguard) for the provision of these services
to many of our members and prospective members. As a result of these outsourcing agreements, we may
lose direct control over these key functions and operations. The failure by Lifeguard or any of our
other third-party service providers to perform the services to the same or similar level of quality
that we could provide could adversely affect our relationships with our members, customers,
marketing representatives and our ability to retain and attract members, customers, marketing
representatives and, accordingly, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
THE AVAILABILITY OF OUR INSURANCE PRODUCTS AND FINANCIAL SERVICES ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR STRATEGIC
RELATIONSHIPS WITH VARIOUS INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE UNAVAILABILITY OF THOSE PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES FOR ANY REASON MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF REVENUES.
We are not an insurance company and only market and distribute insurance products and
financial services developed and offered by insurance companies. We must develop and maintain
relationships with insurance companies that provide products and services for
21
a particular market
segment (the elderly, the young family, etc.) that we in turn make available to the independent
agents with whom they have contracted to sell the products and services to the individual consumer.
Of the eight insurance companies with whom Insuraco had strategic relationships prior to our
acquisition, more than 95% of Insuracos 2006 and 2005 revenue was attributable to the insurance
products and financial services offered by five of the companies. Thus, we are dependent on a
relatively small number of insurance companies to provide product and financial services for sale
through our channels.
Development and maintenance of relationships with the insurance companies may in part be based
on professional relationships and the reputation of our management and marketing personnel.
Consequently, the relationships with insurance companies may be adversely affected by events beyond
our control, including departures of key personnel and alterations in professional relationships.
Our success and growth depend in large part upon our ability to establish and maintain these
strategic relationships, contractual or otherwise, with various insurance companies to provide
their products and services, including those insurance products and financial services that may be
developed in the future. The loss or termination of these strategic relationships could adversely
affect our revenues and operating results. Furthermore, the loss or termination may also impair our
ability to maintain and attract new insurance agencies and their agents to distribute the insurance
products and services that we offer.
WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON INDEPENDENT INSURANCE AGENCIES AND THEIR AGENTS TO OFFER AND SELL OUR
INSURANCE PRODUCTS AND FINANCIAL SERVICES.
We are principally dependent upon independent insurance agencies and their agents to offer and
sell the insurance products and financial services that we offer and distribute. These insurance
agencies and their agents may offer and distribute insurance products and financial services that
are competitive with ours. These independent agencies and their agents may give higher priority and
greater incentives (financial or otherwise) to other insurance products or financial services,
reducing their efforts devoted to marketing and
distribution of the insurance products and financial services that we offer. Also, our ability
to attract and retain independent insurance agencies could be negatively affected by adverse
publicity relating to our products and services or our operations.
Furthermore, of the approximately 5,000 independent agents with whom Insuraco have active
distribution and marketing relationships, more than 80% of Insuracos revenues are attributable to
the product sales and financial services through approximately 1,000 independent insurance agents.
These agents report through approximately 20 independent general agencies. Thus, we are dependent
on a small number of independent insurance agencies for a very significant percentage of our total
insurance products and financial services revenue.
Development and maintenance of the relationships with independent insurance agencies and their
agents may in part be based on professional relationships and the reputation of our management and
marketing personnel. Consequently, these relationships may be adversely affected by events beyond
our control, including departures of key personnel and alterations in professional relationships.
The loss of a significant number of the independent insurance agencies (and their agents), as well
as the loss of a key agency or its agents, for any reason, could adversely affect our revenue and
operating results, or could impair our ability to establish new relationships or continue strategic
relationships with independent insurance agencies and their agents.
WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE MARKET PLACE FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AS WELL AS
COMPETITION FOR INSURANCE AGENCIES AND THEIR AGENTS FOR THE MARKETING OF THE PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES OFFERED.
Instead of utilizing captive or wholly-owned insurance agencies for the offer and sale of its
products and services, we utilize independent insurance agencies and their agents as the principal
marketing and distribution channel. Competition for independent insurance agencies and their agents
is intense. Also, competition from products and services similar to or directly in competition with
the products and services that we offer is intense, including those products and services offered
and sold through the same channels utilized for distribution of our insurance products and
financial services. Under arrangements with the independent insurance agencies, the agencies and
their agents may offer and sell a variety of insurance products and financial services, including
those that compete with the insurance products and financial services that we offer.
Thus, our business operations compete in two channels of competition. First, we compete based
upon the insurance products and financial services offered. This competition includes products and
services of insurance companies that compete with the products and services of the insurance
companies that we offered and sell. Second, we compete with all types of marketing and distribution
companies throughout the U.S. for independent insurance agencies and their agents. Many of our
competitors have substantially larger
22
bases of insurance companies providing products and services,
and longer-term established relationships with independent insurance agencies and agents for the
sale and distribution of products and services, as well as greater financial and other resources.
There is no assurance that our competitors will not provide insurance products and financial
services comparable or superior to those products and services that we offer at lower costs or
prices, greater sales incentives (financial or otherwise) or adapt more quickly to evolving
insurance industry trends or changing industry requirements. Increased competition may result in
reduced margins on product sales and services, less than anticipated sales or reduced sales, and
loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business and results of
operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against current
and future competitors.
WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON PETER W. NAUERT AND THE LOSS OF HIS SERVICES WOULD HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS.
We are highly dependent upon Peter W. Nauert our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. Mr.
Nauerts management skills, reputation and contacts within the insurance industry, including
insurance companies and insurance agencies and their agents, are key elements of our going forward
business plans. The loss of the services of Mr. Nauert would adversely affect the growth and
success we expect to achieve following our merger-acquisition of ICM. Mr. Nauert is currently ill
with a serious medical condition. He participates with other members of our management on a
regular basis and fully participates in the making of strategic decisions, but his ability to do so
may become limited over time.

ACCESS PLANS USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Interim Financial Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such dates and of the
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. The financial information is presented in a
condensed format, and it does not include all of the footnote disclosure normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007
and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The
preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods under
consideration. Actual results could differ materially from such assumptions and estimates. The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should be read in
conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements, included in its December 31, 2006 Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the Companys
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capella, Insuraco, and AAI. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period
financial statements to conform to the current presentation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain
significant estimates are required in the evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets for
impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be
material.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The recorded amounts of cash, short-term investments,
accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities, income taxes payable, capital lease obligations and short-term debt approximate fair
value because of the short-term maturity of these items.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements, which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value measurements in
financial reporting. While the standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstance, it has applicability to several current accounting standards that require or permit
entities to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. This standard defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Application of this standard is
required beginning in 2008.
In February 2007, the (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 115, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
This statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value on specified election dates. Such election, which may be applied on an
instrument by instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. Subsequent unrealized gains
and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings.
Management is currently assessing what impact, if any, the application of these standards
could have on the Companys financial statements.
30
Revenue Recognition. Revenue recognition varies based on source.
Consumer Plan Division Revenues. The Company recognizes its Consumer Plan program membership
revenues, other than initial enrollment fees, on each monthly anniversary date. Membership revenues
are reduced by the amount of estimated refunds. For members that are billed directly, the billed
amount is collected almost entirely by electronic charge to the members credit cards, automated
clearinghouse or electronic check. The settlement of those charges occurs within a day or two.
Under certain private label arrangements, the Companys private label partners bill their members
for the membership fees and the Companys portion of the membership fees is periodically remitted
to the Company. During the time from the billing of these private-label membership fees and the
remittance to it, the Company records a receivable from the private label partners and records an
estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts. The allowance of uncollectible receivables is based
upon review of the aging of outstanding balances, the credit worthiness of the private label
partner and its history of paying the agreed amounts owed.
Membership enrollment fees, net of direct costs, are deferred and amortized over the estimated
membership period that averages eight to ten months. Independent marketing representative fees, net
of direct costs, are deferred and amortized over the term of the applicable contract. Judgment is
involved in the allocation of costs to determine the direct costs netted against those deferred
revenues, as well as in estimating the membership period over which to amortize such net revenue.
The Company maintains a statistical analysis of the costs and membership periods as a basis for
adjusting these estimates from time to time.
Insurance Marketing Division Revenues. The revenue of our insurance marketing division is
primarily from sales commissions owed by the insurance companies it represents; these sales
commissions are generally a percentage of premium revenue. Commission income and policy fees, other
than initial enrollment fees, and corresponding commission expense payable to agents, are generally
recognized at their gross amount, as earned on a monthly basis, until such time as the underlying
policyholder contract is terminated. Advanced commissions received are recorded as unearned
insurance commissions. Initial enrollment fees are deferred and amortized over the estimated lives
of the respective programs. The estimated weighted average life for the programs sold ranges from
eighteen months to two years and is based upon the Companys historical policyholder contract
termination experience.
Regional Healthcare Division Revenues. AAIs principal sources of revenues include
administrative fees for third-party claims administration, network provider fees for the preferred
provider network and utilization and management fees. These fees are based on monthly or per member
per month fee schedules under specified contractual agreements. Revenues from these services are
recognized in the periods in which the services are performed and when collection is reasonably
assured.
Commission Expense. Commissions on consumer plan revenues are accrued in the month in which a
member has enrolled in the Care Entréetm program. Commissions on
insurance policy premiums are generally recognized as incurred on a monthly basis until such time
as the underlying policyholder contract is terminated. Commissions on consumer plan revenues are
only paid to the Companys independent marketing representatives in the following month after the
related membership fees have been received by the Company. Advances of commissions up to one year
are paid to agents in the insurance marketing division based on certain insurance policy premium
commissions. The Company does not pay advanced commissions on consumer plan membership sales.
Stock Option Expense and Option-Pricing Model. Recognized compensation expense for stock
options granted to employees includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments
previously granted, but not yet vested, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based
payments currently granted based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Binomial Lattice option-pricing model is used to estimate the option
fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most
significant are expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the
risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock
price movements over the most recent periods ending June 30, 2007 equal to the expected option
term. Expected pre-vesting forfeitures were estimated based on actual historical pre-vesting
forfeitures over the most recent periods ending June 30, 2007 for the expected option term. The
risk-free interest rate is based on the interest rate of zero-coupon United States Treasury
securities over the expected option term.
Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to
differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The
net deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are
recovered or settled. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, we evaluated the
probability of recognizing the benefit of deferred tax assets through the reduction of
31
taxes otherwise payable in the future. We determined that a valuation allowance to fully
offset net deferred tax assets is still appropriate as of June 30, 2007.
On July 14, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48
prescribes guidance to address inconsistencies among entities with the measurement and recognition
in accounting for income tax positions for financial statement purposes. Specifically, FIN 48
addresses the timing of the recognition of income tax benefits. FIN 48 requires the financial
statement recognition of an income tax benefit when the company determines that it is
more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be ultimately sustained. We adopted the provisions
of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) on January 1,
2007. We have analyzed all filing positions in federal and state tax jurisdictions where we are
required to file income tax returns. Our major tax jurisdictions include the federal jurisdiction
and the state of Texas. Tax years open to examination include 2003 through 2006 for the federal
return. A federal audit for 2004 has been completed with no change to our tax liability. The Texas
audit for Capella for the years 2002-2005 have been concluded with no material change to our tax
provision. We have elected to recognize penalties and interest related to tax liabilities as a
component of income tax expense and income taxes payable. As of June 30, 2007, income taxes payable
included $99,000 of accrued interest expense and $26,000 of accrued penalties related to state tax
liabilities. We plan to settle the state tax liabilities and pay any related interest and
penalties during 2007
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable generally represent commissions and fees due from
insurance carriers and plan sponsors. Accounts receivable are reviewed on a monthly basis to
determine if any receivables will be potentially uncollectible. An allowance is provided for any
accounts receivable balance where recovery is considered to be doubtful. Bad debt is written off as
incurred.
Advanced Agent Commissions. The Companys insurance marketing subsidiary advances agent
commissions for certain insurance programs. Repayment of the advanced commissions is typically
accomplished by withholding earned commissions from the agent until such time as the outstanding
balance, plus accumulated interest, has been fully repaid. Advanced agent commissions are reviewed
on a quarterly basis to determine if any advanced agent commissions will likely be uncollectible.
An allowance is provided for any advanced agent commission balance where recovery is considered to
be doubtful. Any bad debt is written off as incurred. The Company believes all such balances will
be collected in full by the carriers and, accordingly, has not recorded any obligation attributable
to this contingent liability.
Fixed Assets. Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the related assets for financial reporting purposes and principally
on accelerated methods for tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter.
Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that extend the
physical or economic life of property and equipment are capitalized.
Acquisitions. On January 30, 2007, the Company completed its merger with Insurance Capital
Management USA, Inc. (ICM). Under the terms of the merger, the shareholders of ICM received
shares of Company common stock based on the adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and
amortization (adjusted EBITDA) of the ICM and its acquired companies. On January 30, 2007, the
ICM shareholders were issued 4,498,529 common stock shares. Further, on May 31, 2007, the ICM
shareholders received an additional 2,257,853 common stock shares as a result of the acquired ICM
companies having achieved adjusted EBITDA of $1,250,000 over the four consecutive calendar quarters
ending on December 31, 2006.
Intangible Asset Valuation. Our intangible assets as of June 30, 2007, consisted primarily of
$16,725,000 of goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of
net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. In June 2007, AAI recorded a $4,092,000 impairment
to goodwill that resulted from failure to obtain certain contract renewals. In 2006, AAI recorded
a $4,066,000 impairment to goodwill including tax considerations that resulted from current and
projected reductions in earnings primarily due to a decline in the number of lives covered under
plans that it administered. In 2005, Capella recorded a charge of $12,900,000 due to continuing
decline in members and revenues to a lower level than previously predicted and pending litigation
and regulatory activity that was announced in the second quarter of that year. In 2004, our
intangible assets were reduced by $2,000,000 to reflect impairment of the goodwill related to our
acquisition in 2000 of Foresight. Significant judgments and estimates were required in connection
with the impairment test to determine the estimated future cash flows and fair value of the
reporting unit.
Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current periods presentation.

Note 3 Business Acquisition
On January 30, 2007, the Company completed its merger with Insurance Capital Management USA,
Inc. (ICM). Under the terms of the merger, the shareholders of ICM received shares of Company
common stock based on the adjusted earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization
(adjusted EBITDA) of ICM and its subsidiary companies. On January 30, 2007, the ICM shareholders
were issued 4,498,529 of common stock shares of the Company. Further, on May 31, 2007, the ICM
shareholders received an additional 2,257,853 shares of our common stock since the acquired ICM
companies achieved adjusted EBITDA of $1,250,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters ending on
December 31, 2006
The closing purchase price consideration of $11,211,000 consists of $10,540,000 of our common
stock (6,756,382 shares) and $671,000 of costs directly related to the acquisition. The purchase
price was allocated as follows:

The allocation of $13,348,000 to goodwill is considered appropriate as ICM strategically
complements the Companys current business by providing a significant source of new revenue from
the distribution of insurance products and adding new distribution channels for our Care
Entréetm and private-label healthcare savings programs. ICM also
has proven experience in the development, marketing and distribution of insurance products and
financial services and, through its contractual arrangements with various insurance companies, will
be a continuing source of leading-edge insurance products. The Company is in the process of
evaluating whether a portion of the goodwill should be allocated to identifiable intangible assets.
The following proforma condensed results of operations have been prepared as if our
acquisition of ICM occurred on January 1, 2006:

Note 4 Goodwill
Recorded goodwill must be reviewed and analyzed to determine its fair value and possible
impairment. This review and analysis is conducted at least annually, and may be conducted more
frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the
fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The aggregate fair market value of the
reporting units assets, including recorded goodwill, in excess of the fair value of the reporting
units liabilities, may not exceed the fair value of the reporting units equity. The fair value of
the reporting units equity is based upon valuation techniques that
estimate the amount at which the reporting unit as a whole could be bought or sold in a current
transaction between willing parties. The downward trending of our common stock price has a material
effect on the fair value of our goodwill in future accounting periods.
In June 2007, the Company announced the failure of its subsidiary, AAI, to obtain certain
contract renewals and the expected failure to obtain other future contract renewals. The Company
believes that the investigation of official corruption in contract procurement of over twenty
companies, including AAI, that do business with local government entities in the El Paso area may
have directly contributed to AAIs failure to obtain contract renewals. (See Note 11.)
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2007, based upon managements cash flow projections, the Company
recorded an impairment loss related to AAI of $4,092,000, reducing the carrying value of the
goodwill related to AAI to zero.

We have obtained line of credit facilities and short-term notes from a commercial banking
institution and from a specialty lending corporation. The commercial bank outstanding balance at
June 30, 2007 of $1,865,000 comprises $906,000 of short term notes, and $959,000 drawn down under
the current line of credit facilities and the proceeds are used to fund the advancing of agent
commissions for certain programs. These debt obligations are collateralized by certain future
commissions and fees. At June 30, 2007 we are able to borrow an additional $291,000 under this
facility provided that the borrowings are solely for the funding of advanced agent commissions.
$473,500 of the total commercial bank borrowings of $1,865,000 matured and became payable July 15,
2007 and were paid during the third quarter of 2007. The remaining balance of $1,392,000 has
scheduled maturity dates in 2008 and is expected to be fully paid prior to March 31, 2008.
Interest is charged at prime plus 1.5%. We are the primary party on the loan agreement and Peter
Nauert, our Chairman, has executed a personal guarantee.
As part of the ICM acquisition, the Company assumed a three-year loan that was obtained in
November 2006, from a specialty lending corporation in the amount of $600,000. The loan bears
interest at prime plus 5.0%. $204,000 of the outstanding balance has been classified as short-term
debt and the current balance of $348,000 has been classified as long-term debt. We are the primary
party on the loan agreement and Peter Nauert, our Chairman, has executed a personal guarantee.

Note 9 Related Party Transactions
Mr. Frank Apodaca, AAIs former Chief Operating Officer, had an agreement with Ready One
Industries, formerly National Center for Employment of the Disabled (NCED). NCED was the party
from whom the Company acquired AAI in June 2004. This agreement between Mr. Apodaca and NCED
predates the Companys acquisition of AAI and entitles him to 10% of the proceeds (stock or cash)
from the sale of AAI. Pursuant to this agreement, as of December 31, 2006, Mr. Apodaca has received
214,548 of the Companys shares and is entitled to receive $223,000 from NCED.
The office space we lease for our AAI operation in El Paso was owned by NCED through January
2007. Total payments of $24,000 were paid to NCED under this agreement through January 2007. In
the first quarter of 2007, the property was sold to a non-related party and the lease was assigned
to that new landlord. AAI also earned revenue from NCED of $137,000 and $439,000 in six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 10 Risk Concentration
Currently, over 95% of the Companys insurance marketing division revenue is derived from
insurance products underwritten by five insurance carriers. The Company believes all of these
insurance carriers to be financially sound, based in part upon A.M. Best ratings of B+ or better,
and that all accounts due from these carriers will be collected in full. If the Companys
relationship with one or more of these carriers was severed, the revenue impact would be nominal in
the short term, but could be significant over the long term. However, management believes the
Company has the ability to replace carriers with little or no difficulty.
Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings. In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in
litigation or in settlement proceedings relating to claims arising out of the Companys operations.
Except as described below, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome
of which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Kirk, et al v Precis, Inc. and David May. On September 8, 2003, the case styled Robert Kirk,
Individually and D/B/A US Asian Advisors, LLC, et al vs. Precis, Inc. and David May, Defendants
was initiated in the District Court of Tarrant County, Texas, Case No. 236 201 468 03. The
plaintiffs alleged that they were not allowed to exercise certain stock options and warrants in May
2003 due to actions and inactions of Mr. May and that these actions and inactions constitute fraud,
misrepresentation, negligence and legal malpractice. Plaintiffs sought damages equal to the
difference between the exercise price of the stock options or warrants and the market value of our
common stock on May 7, 2002 (presumably the closing sale price of $15.75) or an aggregate sum of
$1,592,050, plus exemplary damages and costs. On July 13, 2005, the court entered a judgment in
our favor, ordering that the plaintiffs take nothing by way of their lawsuit. The order set aside a
previous jury verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. The trial courts judgment was affirmed by the
Court of Appeals for the Second Judicial District of Texas and, in July 2007, the Texas Supreme
Court declined to review the case. The plaintiffs may request reconsideration or may apply for a
writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. While we cannot offer any assurance as to the
outcome of the appeal, we believe that there exists no basis on which the judgment in our favor
will be overturned.
Zermeno v Precis, Inc. The case styled Manuela Zermeno, individually and on behalf of the
general public; and Juan A. Zermeno, individually and on behalf of the general public v Precis,
Inc., an Oklahoma corporation and Does 1 through 100, inclusive was filed on August 14, 2003 in
the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles.
A second case styled California Foundation for Business Ethics, Inc., a California non-profit
corporation, v Precis, Inc., and Does 1 through 100, inclusive was filed on September 9, 2003, in
the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles.
The two above cases were removed to the United States District Court for the Central District
of California and consolidated by order of the court, on December 4, 2003.
The Zermeno plaintiffs are former members of the Care Entréetm
discount healthcare program who allege that they (for themselves and for the general public) are
entitled to injunctive, declaratory, and equitable relief. Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint set
forth three distinct claims under California law. Plaintiffs first cause of action alleged that
the operation of the Companys Care Entréetm program violates
Health and Safety Code §445 (Section 445) that governs medical referral services. Next,
Plaintiffs alleged that they are entitled to damages under Civil Code §§1812.119 and 1812.123,
which are part of the broader statutory scheme governing the operation of discount buying
organizations, Civil Code 1812. 100 et. Seq. (Section 1812.100). Plaintiffs third cause of
action sought relief under Business and Professions Code § 17200, Californias Unfair Competition
Law (Section 17200).
The Company fully settled all the claims brought by the California Foundation for Business
Ethics, Inc. With the Zermeno plaintiffs, the Company settled the causes of action related to Civil
Code §§ 1812.100. The claim under Section 445 and the related claim under Section 17200 remain
pending and have been assigned to the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County under case
number BC 300788. A negative result in this case would have a material affect on the Companys
financial condition and would limit the Companys ability (and that of other healthcare discount
programs) to do business in California.
Management believes that the Company has complied with all applicable statues and regulations
in the state of California. Although management believes the Plaintiffs claims are without merit,
the Company cannot provide any assurance regarding the outcome or results of this litigation.
37
State of Texas v The Capella Group, Inc. et al. The State of Texas filed a lawsuit against our
subsidiary, The Capella Group, Inc. d/b/a Care Entréetm and Equal
Access Health, Inc. (including various names under which Equal Access Health, Inc. does business)
on April 28, 2005. Equal Access Health is a third-party marketer of our discount medical card
programs, but is otherwise not affiliated with our subsidiaries or us. The lawsuit alleges that
Care Entréetm, directly and through at least one other party that
formerly resold the services of Care Entréetms to the public,
violated certain provisions of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices -Consumer Protection Act. The
lawsuit seeks, among other things, injunctive relief, unspecified monetary penalties and
restitution. We believe that the allegations are without merit and are vigorously defending this
lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed in the 98th District Court of Travis County, Texas as case number
GV501264. We have always insisted that our programs be sold in an honest and forthright manner and
have worked to protect the interests of consumers in Texas and all other states. Unfavorable
findings in this lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations. No assurance can be provided regarding the outcome or results of this
litigation.
Investigation of National Center for Employment of the Disabled, Inc. and Access HealthSource,
Inc.(AAI) In June 2004, we acquired AAI and its subsidiaries from National Center for Employment
of the Disabled, Inc. (now known as Ready One Industries, NCED). Robert E. Jones, the C.E.O. of
NCED was elected to and served on our Board of Directors until his March 2006 resignation. Frank
Apodaca served as the President and C.E.O. of AAI from our acquisition until August 3, 2007, on
which date he was placed on administrative leave and notified that his employment with us would end
on September 3, 2007. Mr. Apodaca also served as Chief Administrative Officer and a member of the
Board of Directors of NCED. Mr. Apodaca also served as our President from June 10, 2004 to January
30, 2007. Until July 2006, his employment agreement with us allowed him to spend up to 20% of his
time on matters related to NCEDs operations. NCED is one of our greater than 10% shareholders as a
result of shares it received from our acquisition of AAI.
There is an ongoing federal investigation of Mr. Apodaca and AAI, and there has been publicity
in the El Paso, Texas area about the investigation. The investigation involves several elected
public officials and over 20 companies that do business with local government entities in the El
Paso area. Although no indictments have occurred, the Company believes that the investigation
involves, among other things, allegations of corruption relating to contract procurement by Mr.
Apodaca and AAI and other companies from these local governmental entities. We can offer no
assurance as to the outcome of the investigation. In addition to the negative financial effect
from the loss of business, the Company has suffered and may continue to suffer as a result of the
investigation and the adverse publicity surrounding the investigation. The Companys financial
condition and the results of its operations will be materially affected should the investigation
result in formal allegations of wrongdoing by AAI. The Company may become obligated to pay fines
or restitution and its ability to operate AAI under licenses may be restricted or terminated. In
addition, the publicity and financial effect resulting from the investigation may affect our other
divisions ability to attract business, secure financing and reputation.
States General Life Insurance Company. In February 2005, States General Life Insurance Company
(SGLIC) was placed in permanent receivership by the Texas Insurance Commission (The State of
Texas v States General Life Insurance Company, Cause No. GV-500484, in the 126th District Court of
Travis County, Texas.) Pursuant to letters dated October 19, 2006, the Special Deputy Receiver (the
SDR) of SGLIC asserted certain claims against ICM, its subsidiaries, Peter W. Nauert, ICMs
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and G. Scott Smith, a former Executive Officer of ICM,
totaling $2,839,000. The SDR is seeking recovery of certain SGLIC funds that it alleges were
inappropriately transferred and paid to or for the benefit of ICM, its subsidiaries and Messrs.
Nauert and Smith. These claims are based upon assertions of Texas law violations, including
prohibitions against self-dealing, participation in breach of fiduciary duty and preferential and
fraudulent transfers. Mr. Nauert was in control and Chairman of the Board of SGLIC when it was
placed in receivership by the Texas Insurance Commission. The Company, its subsidiaries and Messrs.
Nauert and Smith intend to exercise their full rights in defense of the SDRs asserted claims. The
SDR filed its own action against SGLIC, pending in the 126th District Court of Travis County, Texas
under cause No. GV-500484 and against Messrs. Nauert and Smith, ICM, certain subsidiaries of ICM
and other parties, in the 126th District Court of Travis County, Texas under cause No.
D-1-GN-06-4697. Access Plans has been named as a defendant in this action as a
successor-in-interest to ICM.
In connection with our merger-acquisition of ICM and its subsidiaries, Mr. Nauert and the
Peter W. Nauert Revocable Trust have agreed to fully indemnify ICM and us against any losses
resulting from this matter.
38
Restricted Short-Term Investments. In order to arrange for the processing and collection of
credit card and automated clearing house payments to it from its customers, the Company has pledged
cash and short-term investments in the aggregate amounts of $1,100,000 and $250,000 as of June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively.
Employment Agreements. As of June 30, 2007, we were obligated under employment agreements with
only two of our executive officers. On August 3, 2007, one of the employment agreements was
terminated for cause without any further material payment obligations. If the other officer
terminates without cause or through a change of ownership, we may be obligated to pay him
approximately $324,000 in the aggregate.
Note 12 Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations are as follows:
Financial Services Care 125. In the first quarter of 2004, the Company initiated Care 125,
to provide health savings accounts (HSAs), Healthcare Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) and medical
and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Care 125 services would allow employers to
offer additional benefits to their employees and give employees additional tools to manage their
healthcare and dependent care expenses. Additionally, Care 125 programs and the Companys medical
savings programs could be sold together by agents and brokers with whom the Company has contracted
to offer a more complete benefit package to employers. The Company discontinued this division in
December 2006. This operation had net losses in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and the three
months ended June 30, 2007 of $0 and $72,000, respectively, and net losses in the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $0 and $72,000, respectively.
Vergance. In the third quarter of 2005, the Company began offering neutraceuticals through the
Vergance marketing group of the Companys Consumer Healthcare Services division. Neutraceutical
sales consisting of vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements, under the Natrience brand
commenced in late September 2005, but were immaterial through June 30, 2006. Effective June 30,
2006, the Company discontinued its operations and wrote off the assets of this division. This
operation had net loss of $539,000 in the in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and net loss of
$789,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Note 13 Segmented Information
The Company discloses segment information in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, that requires companies to report selected
segment information on a quarterly basis and to report certain entity-wide disclosures about
products and services, major customers, and the material countries in which the entity holds assets
and reports revenues. The Companys reportable segments are strategic divisions that offer
different services and are managed separately as each division requires different resources and
marketing strategies. The Companys Consumer Plan Division, the Companys largest segment, offers
savings on healthcare services to persons who are un-insured, under-insured, or who have elected to
purchase only high deductible or limited benefit medical insurance policies, by providing access to
the same preferred provider organizations (PPOs) that are utilized by many insurance companies and
employers who self-fund at least a portion of their employees healthcare risk. These programs are
sold primarily through a network marketing strategy. The Companys Insurance Marketing Division
provides web-based technology, specialty products and marketing of individual health insurance
products and related benefit plans, primarily through a broad network of independent agency
channels. The Companys Regional Healthcare Division provides a wide range of healthcare claims
administration services and other cost containment procedures that are frequently required by
governments and other large employers who have chosen to self fund their healthcare benefits
requirements. In prior years, the Company reported the financial results of the Companys
wholly-owned subsidiary Care Financial of Texas, L.L.C. (Care Financial) in a separate segment,
Financial Services. Financial Services included two divisions Care Financial which offered high
deductible and scheduled benefit insurance policies and Care 125 which offered life insurance and
annuities, along with Healthcare Savings Accounts (HSAs), Healthcare Reimbursement Arrangements
(HRAs) and medical and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Care 125 was discontinued
in December 2006 and Care Financial is included with Corporate and Other.
The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies in Note 2 and in the Companys December 31, 2006 Form 10-K Annual
Report. Intersegment sales are not material and all intersegment transfers are eliminated.
39
No one customer represents more than 10% of the Companys overall revenue. However, a material
portion of the revenues of AAI is derived from its contractual relationships with a few key
governmental entities. The Company operates in substantially all of the 50 states and the District
of Columbia in the U.S. but not in any foreign countries.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on revenues and income before provision for
income taxes. The Company does not allocate income taxes or unusual items to the segments. The
table on this page and the following page summarizes segment information:
