Independent Accountants’ Review Report


To the Board of Directors of OptimumCare Corporation:

     We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of OptimumCare Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2003, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of OptimumCare Corporation.

     A review of interim financial information consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 28, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

March 31, 2003

NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

NOTE B — INVESTMENTS

Investments consist of federal home loan bank bonds and U.S. treasury notes with an aggregate principal amount of $328,387 and $330,268 at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 respectively. The bonds and notes bear interest ranging from 2.375% to 5.755% and have maturity dates ranging through January 2004.

NOTE D — NEW BUSINESS

Effective March 12, 2003, the Company acquired the assets of a health care staffing company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, OptimumCare Staffing, Inc., for cash consideration of $270,758 including acquisition costs of $91,675 and recorded goodwill in the amount of $258,580. Additional purchase price payments are due at the six month and eighteen month anniversaries of the closing date based on certain net revenue goals. An additional earn-out provision for payment of 30% of EBITDA for the first and second twelve month periods is contingent on the continued employment of the previous owners. As part of the purchase, the Company entered into two year employment agreements with the four previous owners, one of which is for a salary of $100,000 and three of which are for salaries of $55,000 for the first year, all of which are to be reviewed on the first anniversary and adjusted at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The employment agreements also stipulate monthly bonuses based on exceeding certain gross margin goals. In addition, the Company issued 100,000 options to purchase common stock for $0.50 per share to one of the previous owners and a total of 60,000 options to purchase common stock for $0.50 per share to the other three previous owners. The options are subject to vesting one half per year on the anniversary date of the closing for the next two years and expire in five years. Additional options to purchase common stock equal to half the amount issued at this time will be granted contingent upon extension of the original two year term of the employment agreements to each of the four previous owners.

NOTE E — BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company’s principal business is to develop, market and manage hospital based programs for the treatment of psychiatric disorders on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. However, with the acquisition of three (3) healthcare staffing companies during the past nine months, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”). The Company has two (2) segments, psychiatric programs and temporary staffing.

The Company evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on several factors, of which net sales, accounts receivable and operating income are the primary financial measures. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

(1)   The temporary staffing business is part of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, which are accounted for separately internally. However, the assets of the parent company’s corporate offices are not maintained separately from those that are associated with the psychiatric programs such as, cash, fixed assets, etc. and therefore, cannot be reported individually.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Safe harbor statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements which are forward-looking in time and involve risks and uncertainties, including the risks associated with plans, the effects of changing economic and competitive conditions, government regulation which may affect facilities, licensing, healthcare reform which may affect payment amounts and timing, availability of sufficient working capital, program development efforts and timing and market acceptance of new programs which may affect future sales growth and/or costs of operations.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company’s working capital was $1,749,179 and $2,093,033, respectively. The decrease in working capital for the period is primarily due to the Company’s net loss and the acquisition of a new business entity on March 12, 2003. The nature of the Company’s business requires significant working capital to fund operations of its programs as well as to fund corporate expenditures until receivables can be collected. Moreover, because each of the existing contracts represents a significant portion of the Company’s contract business, the inability to collect certain of the accounts receivable could materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity. The Company evaluates the collectibility of its receivables on a case by case basis. Accounts receivable at March 31, 2003 has increased slightly from those which existed at December 31, 2002. This is primarily due to the receivables from the new business entity acquired late in the quarter. Temporary staffing receivables at March 31, 2003 were approximately $681,209 of which four accounts comprise 52%. Management believes that no collection problems with respect to these receivables exist. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded at March 31, 2003.

Cash used in operations was $76,815 and $858,308 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to the Company’s net loss for the period.

Cash used in investing activities was $270,757 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $212,206 for the same period of 2002. Cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2003 primarily arose from the purchase of a new business entity on March 12, 2003.

Cash flows from financing activities were $144,939 for the period ended ending March 31, 2003 which was the result of a draw from the Company’s line of credit. The outstanding balance under the line of credit as of May 8, 2003 was $290,075. Interest is charged on the outstanding balance at a rate of the “One-month LIBOR”, as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 3.4% per annum and is payable monthly. The maximum indebtedness is $750,000. Amounts allowable for draw are based on 80% of certain qualified accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2003, approximately $556,000 is available for future draws on the line of credit agreement. The line of credit expires on May 31, 2003. In the event that the line of credit is not renewed, the Company is in negotiations with other financial institutions for a line of credit, and will pay off the balance owing with cash on hand at expiration. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity for the fiscal year 2003 are cash on hand, accounts receivable, a line of credit with a bank and continuing revenues from programs and from the recently acquired staffing businesses.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002

The Company operated four (4) contract programs during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and six (6) contract programs during the three months ended March 31, 2002. Net revenues from the contract programs were $686,892 and $1,388,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in net revenues among periods is primarily due to the decrease in the number of operating programs. Cost of contract services provided were $458,053 and $1,250,462 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in cost of contract services provided among periods is due to the decrease in the number of programs.

Revenues for temporary staffing services were $731,958 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003. Costs of providing these services were $743,192 for the same period. Revenues and operations for this new business segment commenced during the third quarter of 2002 and another new entity was acquired on March 12, 2003.

General and administrative expenses were $319,477 and $348,324 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, respectively. The decrease in costs was primarily due to lower costs due to attrition and the reversal of year end accruals made during the three months ended March 31, 2003 which were not necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2002.

The company’s income tax benefit has decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2003 over the comparable three months ended March 31, 2002 due to a smaller net loss for the period.

Net loss was $71,682 and $126,151 for the three months ending March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The smaller loss was a result of decreased general and administrative expenses due to lower staffing costs and general cost cutting measures.

The Company is continuing to make efforts to expand the number of its operational contract programs and has contracted with a consulting firm managed by one of the Company’s previous directors to launch an aggressive marketing program.

The Company acquired two temporary staffing businesses during 2002 and acquired an additional health care staffing business in March 2003. The Company has identified other acquisition candidates and intends to continue to pursue this line of business.

The Company’s contract business has a dependence on a small customer base, presently consisting of three hospitals. However, the temporary staffing services segment has a fairly large customer base consisting of approximately 60 active hospitals. The Company has a significant amount of variable expenses associated with the production of its revenues, although certain fixed costs do exist. To that end, the loss of certain customers could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s profit margin.
