CRDENTIA CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005

 

Note 1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Crdentia Corp (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a provider of healthcare staffing services in the United States.  Such services include travel nursing, per diem staffing, contractual clinical services and private duty home health care. The Company considers these services to be one segment. Each of these services relate solely to providing healthcare staffing to customers and the Company utilizes common procedures, processes and similar methods of identifying and serving these customers.

 

At the beginning of 2003, the Company was a development stage company with no commercial operations. During that year, the Company pursued its operational plan of acquiring companies in the healthcare staffing field and completed the acquisition of four operating companies. The companies acquired in 2003 — Baker Anderson Christie, Inc., New Age Nurses, Inc., Nurses Network, Inc., and PSR Nurses, Ltd. (through the acquisition of PSR Nurses Holdings Corp. and PSR Nurse Recruiting, Inc., which hold the limited partner and general partner interests in PSR Nurses, Ltd.) — provide the foundation for future growth. During 2004, the Company completed the acquisitions of Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. and Care Pros Staffing, Inc. On March 29, 2005, the Company acquired TravMed USA, Inc. and Health Industry Professionals, LLC. On May 4, 2005, the Company acquired Prime Staff, LP and Mint Medical Staffing Odessa.

 

The accompanying financial statements include the results of the wholly-owned subsidiaries discussed above from their respective dates of acquisition.  All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial data as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 have been made. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Liquidity

 

The Company generated a net loss of $1,989,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and used cash in operations of $2,491,178 during the first six months of 2005.  Additionally, although the Company ended the first six months of 2005 with a working capital deficit of $1.1 million, the Company was able to secure additional funding during 2004 and the first two quarters of 2005 to finance its operations as it continues to execute its business plan to acquire and grow companies involved in healthcare staffing.  As discussed in Note 8, in March 2005 the Company’s majority stockholder exercised warrants to purchase 108,333 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock providing $6.4 million to the Company.  Also, as discussed in Note 8, in May 2005 the Company’s majority stockholder exercised warrants to purchase 22,187 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock providing $1.3 million to the Company.  The infusion of $7.7 million into the Company enabled it to acquire additional companies and to retire certain liabilities. Also, following the three acquisitions discussed in Note 2, the Company increased its borrowings under its accounts receivable line, but at June 30, 2005, there is no additional borrowing availability under this line.  In August 2005, additional short-term funding of $300,000 in the form of an over-advance on the accounts receivable line was secured from Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.  The Company will need to raise additional funds before calendar year end 2005 or pursue other strategic options to fund operations or to allow the Company to execute its business plan.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the amount of debt or equity capital required to meet its objectives.  If additional debt or equity capital is not readily available, the Company will be forced to scale back its acquisition activities and its operations until income exceeds expenses.  This would result in an overall slowdown of the Company’s development.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

As permitted under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company continues to account for employee stock-based transactions under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. However, SFAS 123 requires the Company to disclose pro forma net loss and loss per share as if the fair value method had been adopted.  Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.  For non-employees, cost is also measured at the grant date, using the fair value method, but is actually recognized in the financial statements over the vesting period or immediately if no further services are required.

 

If the Company had elected the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation, compensation cost would be accrued at the estimated fair value of the stock award grants over the service period, regardless of later changes in stock prices and price volatility.  The date of grant fair values for options granted have been estimated based on the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic per share data has been computed on the loss attributable to common stockholders for each period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period (excluding the restricted common stock issued to certain officers in May 2005 as discussed in Note 9).   Diluted earnings per common share include both the weighted average number of common shares and any common share equivalents such as convertible securities, options or warrants in the calculation.  As the Company recorded net losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, common share equivalents outstanding would be anti-dilutive, and as such, have not been included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  Common share equivalents that were excluded in the June 30, 2005 calculations totaled 41,616,024.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for

 

8



 

Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123.  However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.  The Company expects to adopt Statement 123R on January 1, 2006.

 

The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 123R and expects that it will record non-cash stock compensation expense.  The adoption of SFAS 123R is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial condition or cash flows but is expected to have an effect on the company’s results of operations.  The future impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on the levels of share-based payments granted by the Company in the future.  However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders included in the Stock-Based Compensation policy footnote.

 

Note 2. Acquisitions

Note 4.  Revolving Line of Credit

 

On June 16, 2004, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC, pursuant to which the Company obtained a revolving credit facility up to $15,000,000 (the “Loan”).  During the first quarter of 2005, the revolving line of credit facility was reduced to $10,000,000 permitting the Company to lower its effective interest rate through lower unused line fees.  The Loan has a term of three years and bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of three percent (3.0%) per annum over the prime rate or nine and one-half percent (9.5%) per annum (9.5% at June 30, 2005).  Interest is payable monthly.  Accounts receivable serves as security for the Loan and the Loan is subject to certain financial and reporting covenants.  Customer payments are used to repay the advances on the credit facility after deducting charges for interest expense, unused line and account management fees.  Except in certain limited circumstances, the Loan cannot be prepaid in full without the Company incurring a significant prepayment penalty.  The financial covenants are for the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum debt service coverage ratios, minimum EBITDA, maximum capital expenditure limits and maximum operating lease obligations.  In May 2005, the covenants were restructured and, at June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the restructured covenants.  The Loan includes events of default (with grace periods as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Loan, including the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Loan may be accelerated.  There are also cross default provisions between the Loan and the Term Loan discussed in note 5.  The outstanding balance on the Loan is $3,877,824 at June 30, 2005, which represents the total availability under the line relative to the amount of receivables outstanding at that date

Note 5.  Notes Payable to Lender

 

Pursuant to a loan agreement dated August 31, 2004, the Company obtained a term loan credit facility (“Term Loan”) in the amount up to $10,000,000 from Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC, an affiliate of Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC. The Company may obtain loans under the agreement to fund permitted acquisitions.  Any loans obtained under the Term Loan are due and payable in full on August 31, 2007 and bear interest at the rate of fifteen and one-quarter percent (15.25%) per annum.  Interest is payable monthly.  The Term Loan is secured by all assets of the Company.  On August 31, 2004, the Company received proceeds from the Term Loan of $2,697,802 for the acquisitions of Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc. and Care Pros Staffing, Inc.  To date, this is the only advance received under the Term Loan and no principal payments have been made by the Company to reduce this amount.

 

The Term Loan provides that the Company shall issue warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock to the lender up to 12% of the Company’s overall capitalization on the date of borrowing. On August 31, 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase 905,758 shares of Common Stock at a price of $3.15 per share in connection with the first borrowing under the credit facility.  As a result, the Term Loan has been recorded net of a discount of $810,000 which represents the estimated fair market value related to the warrants at the date of issuance.  The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Term Loan.

 

Except in certain limited circumstances, the Term Loan cannot be prepaid in full without the Company incurring a significant prepayment penalty.  The Term Loan also contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum debt service coverage ratios, minimum EBITDA, maximum capital expenditure limits and maximum operating lease obligations. At March 31, 2005, the Company was out of compliance with certain financial covenants of the Term Loan, for which a waiver was received from the lender. In May 2005, the covenants were restructured and, at June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the restructured covenants. The Term Loan includes events of default (with grace periods as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Term Loan, including the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Term Loan may be accelerated.  There are also cross default provisions between the Term Loan and the Loan.

 

Note 6.  Notes Payable to Stockholders

 

On November 29, 2004, MedCap Partners L.P., the Company’s majority stockholder, loaned the Company $400,000 for working capital purposes.  During the first quarter of 2005, the Company borrowed an additional $1,050,000 from the majority stockholder for working capital purposes.  The notes required interest at 5% and were payable on demand.  These notes plus accrued interest were repaid on March 29, 2005.  As an incentive to the majority stockholder to provide the working capital until acquisitions were consummated in the first quarter of 2005, the Company issued 77,751 shares of common stock to the majority stockholder at an average

market value of $2.09 per share.  The related expense of $162,500 was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations during the first quarter of 2005.

 

Note 7.  Notes Payable to Sellers

 

As partial consideration for the acquisition of TravMed USA, Inc. on March 29, 2005, the Company issued unsecured subordinated notes to the former TravMed stockholders in the total amount of $3,215,490. The notes are three-year convertible notes bearing interest at 7.75%.  Monthly interest payments are required for the first six months followed by principal and interest payments the next thirty months to fully repay the debt.

 

The Company also has notes payable to the former stockholders of Care Pros Staffing, Inc. of $46,792 at June 30, 2005.

 

Note 8.   Convertible Preferred Stock

The conversion price of all Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, capital reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, and similar occurrences, as well as the issuance of Common Stock in consideration of an amount less than the then effective conversion price.

 

All Convertible Preferred Shares issued and outstanding are convertible currently at the option of the holder. The Company has evaluated the potential effect of any beneficial conversion terms related to convertible instruments. As a result, the convertible instruments may have a carrying amount that differs significantly from its redemption amount. In such cases, the difference between the carrying amount and the redemption amount (limited to the actual proceeds received) is recorded as a beneficial conversion feature and deducted as a deemed dividend in determining net loss attributable to common stockholders.

In connection with an agreement, 250,000 shares of Common Stock were delivered by parties to the agreement, to an escrow agent.  These shares will be released from escrow as follows:  (i) beginning on July 1, 2004 and continuing on the first day of each month through and including June 1, 2005, the Company, or its assignee, shall pay $31,250 to the escrow agent, and the escrow agent shall cause 10,417 shares to be transferred to the Company or its assignee; and (ii) beginning on July 1, 2005 and continuing on the first day of each month through and including June 1, 2006, the Company, or its assignee, shall pay $46,875 to the escrow agent, and the escrow agent shall cause 10,417 shares to be released to the Company or its assignee.  The escrow agent shall distribute funds received from the Company, or its assignee, to the stockholders who are parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement. For July, 2004, through December, 2004, the Company assigned its right to purchase under the Stock Purchase Agreement to an existing shareholder.  Neither the Company nor its assignee purchased shares subsequent to December, 2004, and, in accordance with the agreement, the transfer agent was authorized to return all remaining shares to the parties who initially tendered their shares to the escrow agent.

 

On May 31, 2005, the Company granted 3,700,000 shares of restricted stock to four of its officers.  The restricted stock has been valued at $6,290,000, which represents the trading value of the stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 31, 2005.  All shares of restricted stock vest in five years or earlier in the event the average daily trading volume for the Company’s common stock reaches specified levels or in certain other circumstances.  The $6,290,000 value has been reflected as common stock issued and outstanding with an offsetting amount included in the equity section as deferred non-cash stock compensation.  The deferred non-cash stock compensation amount is being amortized monthly over the five year expected vesting period of the restricted stock grant.  The President’s restricted stock grant of 900,000 shares is subject to forfeiture of 300,000 shares per quarter for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2005 if certain revenue and EBITDA targets are not achieved.  The second quarter targets were not achieved, but forfeiture has not yet been reflected since the achievement of targets is ultimately measured on a cumulative basis through December 31, 2005.  The remaining grants are not subject to forfeiture except in the event grantee’s continuous service is terminated for any reason, other than death or disability prior to the 5th aniversary of the grant date.  Non-cash stock based compensation in the accompanying statement of operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 includes $104,833 related to this grant.

 

In May 2005, the Board of Directors approved the grant of options to key employees to purchase 831,050 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2004 option plan at $1.70 per share (fair market value on the date of grant).  The options vest 25% after one year and monthly thereafter on a straight-line basis over three years.  The options expire in ten years.

Note 11.  Subsequent Events

 

In August 2005, Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC made a $300,000 credit line available to the Company in the form of an over-advance on the Company’s Loan discussed in Note 4.  The line of credit will be used as necessary to pay certain remaining amounts due on acquisitions completed in March, 2005.  The line accrues interest at 9.5%.  One-third of the line must be repaid in 90 days and the remainder in 180 days.  As additional consideration for the line, the Company is required to pay a monthly fee of $7,500 for the first 90 days and $5,000 per month thereafter.  The maturity date of the related Loan discussed in Note 4 is being extended for an additional year.  The prepayment penalty discussed in Note 4 is applicable for the one-year extension period except in the event of a change in control of the Company.

OVERVIEW

 

We are a provider of healthcare staffing services, focusing on the areas of travel nursing, per diem staffing, contractual clinical services, and private duty home care.  Our travel nurses are recruited domestically as well as internationally, and placed on temporary assignments at healthcare facilities across the United States.  Our per diem nurses are local nurses placed at healthcare facilities on short-term assignments.  Our contractual clinical services group provides complete clinical management and staffing for healthcare facilities and our private duty home care group provides nursing case management and staffing for skilled and non-skilled care in the home. We consider the different services described above to be one segment as each of these services relate solely to providing healthcare staffing to customers that are healthcare providers and utilize similar distribution methods, common procedures, processes and similar methods of identifying and serving these customers.

 

During 2003, we pursued our operational plan of acquiring companies in the healthcare staffing field and completed acquisitions of four companies. In 2004, we purchased two additional companies, in the first quarter of 2005 purchased two additional companies and in the second quarter of 2005 purchased one additional company.  We have contracted with more than 1500 healthcare facilities across 49 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

 

The companies we acquired in 2003 — Baker Anderson Christie, Inc., New Age Nurses, Inc., Nurses Network, Inc., and PSR Nurses, Ltd. (through our acquisition of PSR Nurses Holdings Corp. and PSR Nurse Recruiting, Inc., which hold the limited partner and general partner interests in PSR Nurses, Ltd.) — provide the foundation for our continued growth.  During 2003 we began operating the acquired companies, combining the various back offices and support staff and began streamlining the operations.  We continued our acquisition program in 2004 and acquired Care Pros Staffing, Inc. and Arizona Home Health Care/Private Duty, Inc.  On March 29, 2005, we acquired TravMed USA, Inc. and Health Industry Professionals, LLC.  On May 4, 2005, we acquired PrimeStaff, LP and Mint Medical Staffing Odessa.

Although we have raised $8 million to date in 2005, we will need to raise an additional $500,000 to $1 million during the next twelve months to satisfy debt service requirements and other working capital needs.  If additional capital is not readily available, we will be forced to scale back our operations until our income exceeds our expenses or pursue other strategic alternatives.

 

Following the May 4, 2005 acquisition, in the near term, we do not plan to continue to pursue additional acquisitions until we have completely integrated the three 2005 acquisitions.

 

We have achieved a number of significant successes from inception through the second quarter of 2005:

 

                  We have raised over $15 million through issuance of convertible preferred stock and over $3 million in debt financing, net of debt issuance costs.

                  We have acquired four companies in 2003, two companies in 2004, two companies in the first quarter of 2005, and one company in the second quarter of 2005.

                  We have reorganized our travel business in 2004 to eliminate redundancies and to eliminate over $1.5 million in costs on an annual basis.

                  We have converted debt to convertible preferred stock and convertible preferred stock to common stock with an ultimate benefit of eliminating certain debt service costs and increasing stockholders’ equity.

 

In addition to noteworthy successes, the following are a number of challenges and management’s plan as to how these challenges may be addressed:

 

 

Challenges

 

Management’s Plan

 

 

 

We have experienced a decline in revenue in 2004 and 2005 related to the loss of certain larger customers and soft demand for temporary nurses on an industry-wide basis. We need to find ways to attract and retain hospital clients.

 

We are hiring experienced management and business development personnel to complement existing management in our efforts to grow the travel business. We also have acquired additional travel business as part of our acquisition program and will use the management talent from this acquisition to explore new ways to expand the travel business and to gain access to new clients.

 

 

 

Access to international nurses has been limited following the Federal Government’s overhaul of the immigration system. We expect annual limits on the immigration of workers from the Philippines, China, and India to the Unites States in the next two years.

 

For the near future, we intend to focus our attention on domestic nurses and enhance our recruitment efforts relative to domestic nurses. We are attempting to extract value from the pipeline of nurse candidates in the Philippines.

 

 

 

We have not maintained targeted gross profit levels of 23% to 24%.

 

We are installing new operating software to assist us in more effectively managing gross profits by nurse and by healthcare facility. We also are vigorously managing professional liability insurance costs, workers compensation insurance costs, and housing and travel costs related to the travel nurse business.

 

22



 

We need to continue to find ways to attract and retain quality nurses.

 

In addition to keeping nurse compensation competitive, we have implemented a stock ownership program for nurses as an innovative way to attract and retain nurses.

 

 

 

We need to overcome corporate overhead costs that are disproportionately high relative to our revenue base. Costs related to SEC reporting and compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley are high, and we expect costs to increase as we comply with new rules applicable in the future.

 

We have completed three acquisitions in 2005 to enable us to spread corporate overhead costs over a larger volume of business, and are in the process of integrating these recent acquisitions into our Company. We also have undertaken an exhaustive expense cutting program to ensure that corporate costs are minimized.

 

 

 

We need to continue to raise money to fund acquisitions.

 

We are forecasting that the acquisitions in the first and second quarters of 2005 will permit us to improve operating cash flow in the third and fourth quarters of 2005, which we anticipate will assist us in raising additional funding.

 

 

 

We need to continue to identify quality acquisition targets.

 

We have a considerable depth of management and considerable experience in locating and qualifying excellent acquisition candidates. We intend to continue our efforts in this area.

 

 

 

Our Convertible Series C Preferred Stock has a significant liquidation preference in excess of $92 million (assuming exercise of all Series C warrants), such that all proceeds from a sale of the company for less than that amount would be distributed solely to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock.

 

We have two options to address this situation. This liquidation preference will cease to exist if we can successfully consummate a public offering of at least $25 million or obtain the consent of a majority of our Series C Preferred stockholders to convert to common.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

During the next twelve months, we intend to grow the businesses acquired and to further expand our operations through acquisitions. Our goal was to acquire at least three companies in 2005, generally in the areas of travel nursing, per diem staffing and private duty home care.  As we acquire companies, we expect to realize immediate savings in their operations as we integrate them into our operations and as we decrease their general and administrative costs by merging their back office and support operation into ours.

 

In June 2004, we obtained a $15 million revolving line of credit facility from Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC (reduced to $10 million in March 2005).  In August 2004, we obtained a $10 million term loan credit facility from Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC.  Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC is an affiliate of Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.  We had $2,521,598 and $3,877,824 outstanding at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005, respectively, under our revolving line of credit facility and $2,697,802 of principal  (after adding back the discount) of term loan outstanding at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005.  Agreements for both the revolving line of credit facility and the term loan facility contain financial covenants for the maintenance of minimum net worth, minimum EBITDA, maximum capital expenditure limits and maximum operating lease obligations.  At March 31, 2005, we were out of compliance with financial covenants in both agreements, for which waivers were received from the lenders.  In May 2005 we were successful in renegotiating covenants related to both the revolving line of credit facility and the term loan and, at June 30,

 

23



 

2005, were in compliance with the revised covenants.  Accordingly, the term loan has been classified as a long-term obligation at June 30, 2005.  Failure to satisfy these covenants would severely restrict or eliminate our ability to obtain cash.

 

We generated a net loss of $1,989,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and used cash in operations of $2,491,178 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.  Additionally, although we ended the first six months of 2005 with a working capital deficit of $1.1 million, we have been able to secure additional funding.  In March 2005 our majority stockholder exercised warrants to purchase 108,333 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock providing $6.4 million to us.  In May 2005 our majority stockholder exercised warrants to purchase 22,187 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock providing $1.3 million to us.  The infusion of $7.7 million enabled us to acquire additional companies and to retire certain liabilities.  In August 2005, additional short-term funding of $300,000 in the form of an over-advance on our accounts receivable was secured from Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.  Although we have raised $8 million to date in 2005, we will need to raise an additional $1 million to $2 million during the next twelve months to satisfy debt service requirements and other working capital needs.  There is no assurance that we will be able to raise the amount of debt or equity capital required to meet our objectives. Our challenging financial circumstances may make the terms, conditions and cost of any available capital relatively unfavorable.  If additional debt or equity capital is not readily available, we will be forced to scale back our acquisition activities and our operations until our income exceeds our expenses.  This would result in an overall slowdown of our development.  Our short-term need for capital may force us to consider and potentially pursue our strategic options sooner than we might have otherwise desired.

 

Our capital commitments for the next twelve months are minimal as our business does not require the purchase of plants, factories, extensive capital equipment or inventory.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT

 

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Areas that require significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions include the assignment of fair values upon acquisition of goodwill and other intangible assets, testing for impairment of long-lived assets and valuation of the stock used to consummate our acquisitions. We use historical experience, qualified independent consultants and all available information to make these judgments and estimates, and actual results will inevitably differ from those estimates and assumptions that are used to prepare the company’s financial statements at any given time.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that provides a reserve with respect to those accounts for which revenue was recognized but which management subsequently determines that payment is not expected to be received.  We analyze the balances of accounts receivable to ensure that the recorded amounts properly reflect the amounts expected to be collected.  This analysis involves the application of varying percentages to each accounts receivable category based on the age of the uncollectible accounts receivable.  The amount ultimately recorded as the reserve is determined after management also analyzes the collectibility of specific large or problematic accounts on an individual basis, as well as the overall business climate and other factors.  Our estimate of the percentage of uncollectible accounts may change from time to time and any such change could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

24



 

Purchase Accounting, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

All business acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the statements of operations include the results of each acquired business since the date of acquisition.  The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair value as determined by management and supported in some cases by an independent third-party valuation.  We finalize the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed when we obtain information sufficient to complete the allocation, but in any case, within one year after acquisition.

 

Goodwill arising from the acquisitions of businesses is recorded as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of the businesses acquired.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”) provides that goodwill is to be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment.  Consistent with this standard, we will review goodwill, as well as other intangible assets and long-term assets, for impairment annually or more frequently as warranted, and if circumstances indicate that the recorded value of any such other asset is impaired, such asset is written down to its new, lower fair value.  If any item of goodwill or such other asset is determined to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the amount by which the recorded value exceeds the estimated fair market value.

Three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004

 

Revenues in the second quarter of 2005 were $9,208,000 compared to revenues of $5,490,000 in the second quarter of 2004.  Revenues have increased in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004 due to acquisitions in August 2004 and March and May of 2005.  However, the loss of certain larger customers in 2004 and 2005 and the soft demand experienced in the industry offset a significant portion of the increase in revenue due to acquisitions.  In the second quarter of 2005 approximately 43% (69% in the second quarter of 2004) of our revenue was derived from the placement of travel nurses on assignment, typically 13 weeks in length.  Such assignments generally involve temporary relocation to the geographic area of the assignment.  In the second quarter of 2005, we also provided per diem nurses to satisfy the very short-term needs of healthcare facilities.  Per diem services provided  48% of our revenue in the second quarter of 2005 (15% in the second quarter of 2004).  Per diem revenue became a larger portion of our revenue in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004 because of our acquisition of per diem businesses in the third quarter of 2004.  The remaining amount of our revenue in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004 came from providing clinical management and staffing to healthcare

 

26



 

facilities and private duty homecare.  During the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, most of our customers were acute care hospitals located throughout the continental United States.

 

Our overall gross profit in the second quarter of 2005 was $2,098,000 or 22.8% of revenues compared to $1,182,000 or 21.5% of revenues in the second quarter of 2004. Our gross profit is the difference between the revenue we realize when we bill our customers for the services of our healthcare professionals and our direct operating costs, which include the cost of the healthcare professionals and the related housing and travel costs, certain employment related taxes and workers compensation insurance coverage.  The gross profit percentage in the second quarter of 2005 has improved reflecting higher gross profits reported by our 2004 and 2005 acquisitions.

 

Our selling, general and administrative costs were $2,175,000 or 23.6% of revenues in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $2,141,000 or 39.0% of revenues in the second quarter of 2004.  Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of personnel costs, legal and audit fees related to being a public company and various other office and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue are down in the second quarter of 2005 following the elimination of redundant costs in our travel business in October 2004.  Also, the dollar amount of selling, general and administrative costs has remained constant even though revenue has increased indicating that we have been able to effectively achieve economies of scale with a larger revenue base.

 

Interest costs decreased from $548,000 in the second quarter of 2004 to $475,000 in the second quarter of 2005 which decrease reflects lower overall rates on the new debt facilities we obtained in 2004 (which were restructured in the first quarter of 2005).

 

Deemed dividends were 2,250,000 in the second quarter of 2004.  The deemed dividends relate to beneficial conversion features of our Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock.

 

The non-cash preferred stock dividends in the second quarter of 2005 are cumulative common stock dividends declared for December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 related to the warrants exercised on May 2, 2005 for 22,187 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock.  The common stock dividends on the warrants are payable once the warrants are exercised.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004

 

Revenues for the first six months of 2005 were $14,330,000 compared to revenues of $11,707,000 for the first six months of 2004.  Revenues have increased in the first six months of 2005 compared to the first six months of 2004 due to acquisitions in August 2004 and March and May of 2005.  However, the loss of certain larger customers in 2004 and 2005 and the soft demand experienced in the industry offset a significant portion of the increase in revenue due to acquisitions.  In the first six months of 2005 approximately 37% (72% in the first six months of 2004) of our revenue was derived from the placement of travel nurses on assignment, typically 13 weeks in length.  Such assignments generally involve temporary relocation to the geographic area of the assignment.  In the first six months of 2005, we also provided per diem nurses to satisfy the very short-term needs of healthcare facilities.  Per diem services provided 50% of our revenue for the first six months of 2005 (14% in the first six months of 2004).  Per diem revenue became a larger portion of our revenue in the first six months of 2005 compared to the first six months of 2004 because of our acquisition of per diem businesses in the third quarter of 2004.  The remaining amount of our revenue in the first six months of 2005 and 2004 came from providing clinical management and staffing to healthcare facilities and private duty homecare.  During the first six months of 2005 and 2004, most of our customers were acute care hospitals located throughout the continental United States.

 

Our overall gross profit in the first six months of 2005 was $3,171,000 or 22.1% of revenues compared to $2,452,000 or 20.9% of revenues in the first six months of 2004. Our gross profit is the

 

27



 

difference between the revenue we realize when we bill our customers for the services of our healthcare professionals and our direct operating costs, which include the cost of the healthcare professionals and the related housing and travel costs, certain employment related taxes and workers compensation insurance coverage.  The gross profit percentage in the first six months of 2005 has improved reflecting higher gross profits reported by our 2004 and 2005 acquisitions.

 

Our selling, general and administrative costs were $3,891,000 or 27.2% of revenues in the first six months of 2005 compared to $4,206,000 or 35.9% of revenues in the first six months of 2004.  Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of personnel costs, legal and audit fees related to being a public company and various other office and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue are down in the first six months of 2005 following the elimination of redundant costs in our travel business in October 2004.  Also, the dollar amount of selling, general and administrative costs has decreased even though revenue has increased indicating that we have been able to effectively achieve economies of scale with a larger revenue base.

 

Interest costs were $999,000 in both the first six months of 2005 and 2004.  Higher levels of borrowing related to our acquisitions in March and May 2005 increased interest costs which were offset by lower overall rates on the new debt facilities we obtained in 2004 (which were restructured in the first quarter of 2005).

 

Deemed dividends were 2,250,000 in the first six months of 2004.  The deemed dividends relate to beneficial conversion features of our Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock.

 

The non-cash preferred stock dividends in the first six months of 2005 relate to common stock dividends declared by the Board of Directors on our Series B, Series B-1 and Series C convertible preferred stock as well as cumulative common stock dividends declared for September 30, 2004, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 related to the warrants exercised on March 29, 2005 for 108,333 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock and cumulative common stock dividends declared for December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 related to the warrants exercised on May 2, 2005 for 22,187 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock.  The common stock dividends on the warrants are payable once the warrants are exercised.

 

Risk Factors

 

We were formed in November 1997, and commenced operations on August 7, 2003 following our acquisition of Baker Anderson Christie, Inc.  Any investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this report, before you decide to buy our Common Stock.  The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our operations.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business would likely suffer and our results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements contained in this report including those contained in the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” under Item 2.  In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our Common Stock.

 

If we fail to raise additional capital in the near future, our business will fail.

 

We have limited cash resources and will need to raise additional capital through public or private financings or other arrangements in order to meet current commitments and continue development of our business.  We cannot assure you that additional capital will be available to us when needed, if at all, or, if available, will be obtained on terms attractive to us.  Our failure to raise additional capital when needed could cause us to cease our operations.

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through the private placement of equity and debt securities and loan facilities.  Although our management recognizes the need to raise funds in the near future, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any fundraising transaction, or if we do consummate such a transaction, that its terms and conditions will not require us to give investors warrants or other valuable rights to purchase additional interest in our company, or be otherwise unfavorable to us.  Among other things, the agreements under which we issued some of our existing securities include, and any securities that we may issue in the future may also include, terms that could impede our ability to raise additional funding.  The issuance of additional securities could impose additional restrictions on how we operate and finance our business.  In addition, our current debt financing arrangements involve significant interest expense and restrictive covenants that limit our operations.

 

We may face difficulties integrating our acquisitions into our operations and our acquisitions may be unsuccessful, involve significant cash expenditures or expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

 

We continually evaluate opportunities to acquire healthcare staffing companies that complement or enhance our business and frequently have preliminary acquisition discussions with some of these companies. In addition, beginning in August 2003 and through May 2005 we acquired eight businesses.

 

These acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

 

  potential loss of revenues following the acquisition;

 

  difficulties integrating acquired personnel and distinct cultures into our business;

 

  difficulties integrating acquired companies into our operating, financial planning and financial reporting systems;

 

  diversion of management attention from existing operations; and

 

  assumption of liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies, including liabilities for their failure to comply with healthcare regulations.

 

These acquisitions may also involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence and integration expenses that could seriously harm our financial condition and results of operations. We may fail to achieve expected efficiencies and synergies. Any acquisition may ultimately have a negative impact on our business and financial condition.

 

Our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has a significant liquidation preference.

 

As of August 1, 2005, we had (i) 183,028 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 124,077 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding.  We anticipate selling additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock and issuing additional warrants to purchase shares of Series C Preferred Stock.  Each share of Series C Preferred stock is convertible into one hundred (100) shares of our common Stock.  In the event of any liquidation or winding up of our company, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of our other equity securities, an amount equal to five times the original purchase price per share, or $300 per share, plus any dividends declared on the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock but not paid.  Assuming the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, upon a liquidation or winding up of our company the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive approximately $92,000,000 prior to the payment of any

 

29



 

amounts to the holders of our other equity securities.  As a result, upon a liquidation or winding up of the Company, there may not be sufficient proceeds, following the payment of the Series C liquidation preference described above, to make any distribution to the holders of our other equity securities.

 

There is a lack of an active public market for our Common Stock, and the trading price of our common stock is subject to volatility.

 

The quotation of shares of our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board began on June 3, 2003.  There can be no assurance, however, that a market will develop or continue for our Common Stock.  Our Common Stock may be thinly traded, if traded at all, even if we achieve full operation and generate significant revenue and is likely to experience significant price fluctuations.  In addition, our stock is defined as a “penny stock” under Rule 3a51-1 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In general, a “penny stock” includes securities of companies which are not listed on the principal stock exchanges or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) or National Market System (“NASDAQ NMS”) and have a bid price in the market of less than $5.00; and companies with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000 ($5,000,000 if the issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years), or which have recorded revenues of less than $6,000,000 in the last three years.  “Penny stocks” are subject to rule 15g-9, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses, or individuals who are officers or directors of the issuer of the securities). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. Consequently, this rule may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock, and therefore, may adversely affect the ability of our stockholders to sell Common Stock in the public market.

 

The trading price of our common stock is likely to be subject to wide fluctuations.  Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may include:

 

                  Variations in our financial results;

 

                  Announcements of innovations, new solutions, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;

 

                  Recruitment or departure of key personnel;

 

                  Changes in estimates of our financial results or changes in the recommendations of any securities analysts that elect to follow our common stock;

 

                  Market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole; and

 

                  Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that substantial amounts of our common stock will be sold, by our existing stockholders in the public market.

 

Our need to raise additional capital in the future could have a dilutive effect on your investment.

 

We will need to raise additional capital.  One possibility for raising additional capital is the public or private sale of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock.

 

If we sell additional shares of our Common Stock, such sales will further dilute the percentage of our equity that our existing stockholders own.  In addition, our recent private placement financings have

 

30



 

involved the issuance of securities at a price per share that represented a discount to the trading prices listed for our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board and it is possible that we will close future private placements involving the issuance of securities at a discount to prevailing trading prices.  Depending upon the price per share of securities that we sell in the future, a stockholder’s interest in us will be further diluted by any adjustments to the number of shares and the applicable exercise price required pursuant to the terms of the agreements under which we previously issued securities.  No assurance can be given that previous or future investors, finders or placement agents will not claim that they are entitled to additional anti-dilution adjustments or dispute our calculation of any such adjustments.  Any such claim or dispute could require us to incur material costs and expenses regardless of the resolution and, if resolved unfavorably to us, to effect dilutive securities issuances or adjustments to previously issued securities.  In addition, future financings may include provisions requiring us to make additional payments to the investors if we fail to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of SEC registration statements by specified dates or take other specified action.  Our ability to meet these requirements may depend on actions by regulators and other third parties, over which we will have no control.  These provisions may require us to make payments or issue additional dilutive securities, or could lead to costly and disruptive disputes.  In addition, these provisions could require us to record additional non-cash expenses.

 

Our credit facility imposes significant expenses and restrictive covenants upon us.

 

In June 2004 we obtained a $15 million revolving credit facility, which was reduced in 2005 to $10 million, (the “Revolving Facility”) from Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.  In August 2004 we obtained a $10 million term loan credit facility from Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC (the “Term Facility” and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facility”).  Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC is an affiliate of Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC.

 

The Credit Facility involves significant interest expenses and other fees.  In addition, except in certain limited circumstances, the Credit Facility cannot be pre-paid in full without us incurring a significant pre-payment penalty.

 

The Credit Facility imposes various restrictions on our activities with out the consent of the lenders, including a prohibition on fundamental changes to us or our direct or indirect subsidiaries (including certain consolidations, mergers and sales and transfer of assets, and limitations on our ability or any of our direct or indirect subsidiaries to grant liens upon our property or assets).  In addition, under the Credit Facility we must meet certain net worth, earnings and debt service coverage requirements.  The Credit Facility includes events of default (with grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Facility, including the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Credit Facility may be accelerated.  In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the Credit Facility, including the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Credit Facility shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

 

The expenses and restrictions associated with the Credit Facility have the effect of limiting our operations.  In addition, our failure to pay required interest expenses and other fees or to meet restrictions under the Credit Facility would have a material adverse affect on us.

 

MedCap Partners L.P. controls a majority of our outstanding capital stock, and this may delay or prevent change of control of our company or adversely affect our stock price.

 

MedCap Partners L.P. controls approximately 52% of our outstanding capital stock, on a fully diluted as-converted basis.  As a result, MedCap is able to exercise control over matters requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions.  These types of transactions include transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of our

 

31



 

company or other transactions that the non-controlling stockholders may deem to be in their best interests and in which such stockholders could receive a premium for their shares.  C. Fred Toney, a member or our Board of Directors, is the managing member of MedCap Management & Research LLC, the general partner of MedCap Partners L.P.

 

The ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel to operate and manage our operations is extremely important and our failure to do so could adversely affect us.

 

Presently, we are dependent upon the personal efforts of our management team.  The loss of any of our officers or directors could have a material adverse effect upon our business and future prospects.  We do not presently have key-person life insurance upon the life of any of our officers or directors. Additionally, as we continue our planned expansion of commercial operations, we will require the services of additional skilled personnel.  There can be no assurance that we can attract persons with the requisite skills and training to meet our future needs or, even if such persons are available, that they can be hired on terms favorable to us.

 

We have had a short operating history.

 

We were formed in November 1997 and commenced operations on August 7, 2003 with our acquisition of Baker Anderson Christie, Inc.  We are a “start-up” operation and subject to all the risks inherent in a new business venture, many of which are beyond our control, including the ability to implement successful operations, lack of capital to finance acquisitions and failure to achieve market acceptance.  In addition, as a start-up venture we will face significant competition from many companies virtually all of which are larger, better financed and have significantly greater market recognition than us.

 

The successful implementation of our business strategy depends upon the ability of our management to monitor and control costs.

 

With respect to our planned operations, management cannot accurately project or give any assurance with respect to our ability to control development and operating costs and/or expenses in the future.  Consequently, as we expand our commercial operations, management may not be able to control costs and expenses adequately, and such operations may generate losses.

 

We may become subject to governmental regulations and oversight, which could adversely affect our ability to continue or expand our business strategy.

 

Although our operations are currently not subject to any significant government regulations, it is possible that, in the future, such regulations may be legislated. Although we cannot predict the extent of any such future regulations, a possibility exists that future or unforeseen changes may have an adverse impact upon our ability to continue or expand our operations as presently planned.

 

If we are unable to attract qualified nurses and healthcare professionals for our healthcare staffing business, our business could be negatively impacted.

 

We rely significantly on our ability to attract and retain nurses and healthcare professionals who possess the skills, experience and licenses necessary to meet the requirements of our hospital and healthcare facility clients. We compete for healthcare staffing personnel with other temporary healthcare staffing companies and with hospitals and healthcare facilities. We must continually evaluate and expand our temporary healthcare professional network to keep pace with our hospital and healthcare facility clients’ needs. Currently, there is a shortage of qualified nurses in most areas of the United States, competition for nursing personnel is increasing, and salaries and benefits have risen. We may be unable to continue to

 

32



 

increase the number of temporary healthcare professionals that we recruit, decreasing the potential for growth of our business. Our ability to attract and retain temporary healthcare professionals depends on several factors, including our ability to provide temporary healthcare professionals with assignments that they view as attractive and to provide them with competitive benefits and wages. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any of these areas. The cost of attracting temporary healthcare professionals and providing them with attractive benefit packages may be higher than we anticipate and, as a result, if we are unable to pass these costs on to our hospital and healthcare facility clients, our losses could increase. Moreover, if we are unable to attract and retain temporary healthcare professionals, the quality of our services to our hospital and healthcare facility clients may decline and, as a result, we could lose clients.

 

The temporary staffing industry is highly competitive and the success and future growth of our business depend upon our ability to remain competitive in obtaining and retaining temporary staffing clients.

 

The temporary staffing industry is highly competitive and fragmented, with limited barriers to entry. We compete in national, regional and local markets with full-service agencies and in regional and local markets with specialized temporary staffing agencies. Some of our competitors include AMN Healthcare Services, Inc., Cross Country, Inc., Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. and On Assignment, Inc. All of these companies have significantly greater marketing and financial resources than we do. Our ability to attract and retain clients is based on the value of the service we deliver, which in turn depends principally on the speed with which we fill assignments and the appropriateness of the match based on clients’ requirements and the skills and experience of our temporary employees. Our ability to attract skilled, experienced temporary professionals is based on our ability to pay competitive wages, to provide competitive benefits, to provide multiple, continuous assignments and thereby increase the retention rate of these employees. To the extent that competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices or increasing marketing expenditures, we could lose revenues and our margins could decline, which could seriously harm our operating results and cause the trading price of our stock to decline. As we expand into new geographic markets, our success will depend in part on our ability to gain market share from competitors. We expect competition for clients to increase in the future, and the success and growth of our business depend on our ability to remain competitive.

 

Our business depends upon our continued ability to secure and fill new orders from our hospital and healthcare facility clients, because we do not have long-term agreements or exclusive contracts with them.

 

We generally do not have long-term agreements or exclusive guaranteed order contracts with our hospital and healthcare facility clients. The success of our business depends upon our ability to continually secure new orders from hospitals and other healthcare facilities and to fill those orders with our temporary healthcare professionals. Our hospital and healthcare facility clients are free to place orders with our competitors and may choose to use temporary healthcare professionals that our competitors offer them. Therefore, we must maintain positive relationships with our hospital and healthcare facility clients. If we fail to maintain positive relationships with our hospital and healthcare facility clients, we may be unable to generate new temporary healthcare professional orders and our business may be adversely affected.

 

Fluctuations in patient occupancy at our clients’ hospitals and healthcare facilities may adversely affect the demand for our services and therefore the profitability of our business.

 

33



 

Demand for our temporary healthcare staffing services is significantly affected by the general level of patient occupancy at our hospital and healthcare clients’ facilities. When occupancy increases, hospitals and other healthcare facilities often add temporary employees before full-time employees are hired. As occupancy decreases, hospitals and other healthcare facilities typically reduce their use of temporary employees before undertaking layoffs of their regular employees. In addition, we may experience more competitive pricing pressure during periods of occupancy downturn. Occupancy at our clients’ hospitals and healthcare facilities also fluctuates due to the seasonality of some elective procedures. We are unable to predict the level of patient occupancy at any particular time and its effect on our revenues and earnings.

 

Healthcare reform could negatively impact our business opportunities, revenues and margins.

 

The U.S. government has undertaken efforts to control increasing healthcare costs through legislation, regulation and voluntary agreements with medical care providers and drug companies. In the recent past, the U.S. Congress has considered several comprehensive healthcare reform proposals. The proposals were generally intended to expand healthcare coverage for the uninsured and reduce the growth of total healthcare expenditures. While the U.S. Congress did not adopt any comprehensive reform proposals, members of Congress may raise similar proposals in the future. If any of these proposals are approved, hospitals and other healthcare facilities may react by spending less on healthcare staffing, including nurses. If this were to occur, we would have fewer business opportunities, which could seriously harm our business.

 

State governments have also attempted to control increasing healthcare costs. For example, the state of Massachusetts has recently implemented a regulation that limits the hourly rate payable to temporary nursing agencies for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nurses’ aides. The state of Minnesota has also implemented a statute that limits the amount that nursing agencies may charge nursing homes. Other states have also proposed legislation that would limit the amounts that temporary staffing companies may charge. Any such current or proposed laws could seriously harm our business, revenues and margins.

 

Furthermore, third party payers, such as health maintenance organizations, increasingly challenge the prices charged for medical care. Failure by hospitals and other healthcare facilities to obtain full reimbursement from those third party payers could reduce the demand or the price paid for our staffing services.

 

We operate in a regulated industry and changes in regulations or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that could reduce our revenues and profitability.

 

The healthcare industry is subject to extensive and complex federal and state laws and regulations related to professional licensure, conduct of operations, payment for services and payment for referrals. If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations that are directly applicable to our business, we could suffer civil and/or criminal penalties or be subject to injunctions or cease and desist orders.

 

Our business is generally not subject to the extensive and complex laws that apply to our hospital and healthcare facility clients, including laws related to Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs. However, these laws and regulations could indirectly affect the demand or the prices paid for our services. For example, our hospital and healthcare facility clients could suffer civil or criminal penalties or be excluded from participating in Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs if they fail to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to their businesses. In addition, our hospital and healthcare facility clients could receive reduced reimbursements, or be excluded from coverage, because of a change in the rates or conditions set by federal or state governments. In turn, violations of or changes to these laws and regulations that adversely affect our hospital and healthcare facility clients could also adversely affect the prices that these clients are willing or able to pay for our services.

 

34



 

In addition, improper actions by our employees and other service providers may subject us to regulatory and litigation risk.

 

Competition for acquisition opportunities may restrict our future growth by limiting our ability to make acquisitions at reasonable valuations.

 

Our business strategy includes increasing our market share and presence in the temporary healthcare staffing industry through strategic acquisitions of companies that complement or enhance our business. We have historically faced competition for acquisitions. In the future, such competition could limit our ability to grow by acquisitions or could raise the prices of acquisitions and make them less attractive to us.

 

Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

 

In recent years, healthcare providers have become subject to an increasing number of legal actions alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal theories. Many of these actions involve large claims and significant defense costs. In addition, we may be subject to claims related to torts or crimes committed by our employees or temporary healthcare professionals. In some instances, we are required to indemnify our clients against some or all of these risks. A failure of any of our employees or healthcare professionals to observe our policies and guidelines intended to reduce these risks, relevant client policies and guidelines or applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations could result in negative publicity, payment of fines or other damages. Our professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverage may not cover all claims against us or continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost. If we are unable to maintain adequate insurance coverage or if our insurers deny coverage we may be exposed to substantial liabilities.

 

We may be legally liable for damages resulting from our hospital and healthcare facility clients’ mistreatment of our healthcare personnel.

 

Because we are in the business of placing our temporary healthcare professionals in the workplaces of other companies, we are subject to possible claims by our temporary healthcare professionals alleging discrimination, sexual harassment, negligence and other similar activities by our hospital and healthcare facility clients. The cost of defending such claims, even if groundless, could be substantial and the associated negative publicity could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals in the future.

 

Execution of our business strategy and growth of our business are substantially dependent upon our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified and skilled sales personnel.

 

Execution of our business strategy and continued growth of our business are substantially dependent upon our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified and skilled sales personnel who engage in selling and business development for our services. The available pool of qualified sales personnel candidates is limited. We commit substantial resources to the recruitment, training, development and operational support of our sales personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recruit, develop and retain qualified sales personnel in sufficient numbers or that our sales personnel will achieve productivity levels sufficient to enable growth of our business. Failure to attract and retain productive sales personnel could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We have a substantial amount of goodwill and other intangible assets on our balance sheet. Our level of goodwill and other intangible assets may have the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses.

 

35



 

As of June 30, 2005, we had $25.2 million of goodwill and other unamortized intangible assets on our balance sheet, which represents the excess of the total purchase price of our acquisitions over the fair value of the net assets acquired.  At June 30, 2005, goodwill and other intangible assets represented 77% of our total assets.

 

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that, subsequent to January 1, 2002, goodwill not be amortized but rather that it be reviewed annually for impairment. In the event impairment is identified, a charge to earnings would be recorded. We have adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. Although it does not affect our cash flow, an impairment charge of goodwill to earnings has the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses, as the case may be. If we are required to write down a substantial amount of goodwill, our stock price could be adversely affected.

 

Demand for medical staffing services is significantly affected by the general level of economic activity and unemployment in the United States.

 

When economic activity increases, temporary employees are often added before full-time employees are hired. However, as economic activity slows, many companies, including our hospital and healthcare facility clients, reduce their use of temporary employees before laying off full-time employees. In addition, we may experience more competitive pricing pressure during periods of economic downturn. Therefore, any significant economic downturn could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations

 

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time

 

36



 

periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our 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 as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this report.

 

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
