ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

 

General

 

Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc (the “Company”), a leading national occupational healthcare provider, specializes in the prevention, treatment, and management of work-related injuries and illnesses, as well as regulatory compliance services. As of March 1, 2003, the Company operates thirty-six occupational health centers serving over 15,000 employer clients in ten states, and also delivers workplace health services at employer locations throughout the United States. The Company believes its centers provide high quality medical care and extraordinary service. This improves the health status of employees, reduces workers’ compensation costs, and assists employers in their compliance with state and federal regulations governing workplace health and safety. The Company believes it is the leading provider of occupational health services in most of its established markets as a result of its commitment to these core values and competencies.

 

The Company has developed a system of clinical and operating protocols as well as proprietary information systems to track the resulting patient outcomes (the “OH+R System”), all focused on reducing the cost of work-related injuries. The OH+R System includes a full array of proven protocols designed to reduce the frequency and severity of work-related injuries, to return injured employees to full duty in the shortest possible time, and to assure regulatory compliance. Many of these services may also be delivered on-site at the workplace. Prevention and compliance services include pre-placement examinations, medical surveillance services, fitness for duty and return to work evaluations, drug and alcohol testing, physical examinations, and work-site safety programs.

 

The Company’s treatment approach for work-related injuries and illnesses is based on documented, proprietary clinical protocols which combine state-of-the-art medical, rehabilitation, and care coordination services in an integrated system of care focused on addressing the needs of employers, employees, and payers. Under this approach, employees receive high quality care, maintain a positive attitude, and have a greatly reduced probability of developing chronic problems or being re-injured. Utilizing the OH+R System, which is being continually refined, occupational medicine physicians and other clinical staff have consistently generated substantial documented savings as compared to national averages for both lost work days and medical costs associated with work-related injuries and illnesses.

 

In recent years, the Company has expanded its operations beyond its base in New England into selected major metropolitan markets elsewhere in the United States. In selecting new markets, the Company looks for many factors, including a favorable regulatory environment, attractive reimbursement levels, fragmented competition and a good industrial base. The Company’s strategic plan is to expand its network of service delivery sites throughout the United States, principally through joint ventures and other contractual agreements with hospitals and development of its workplace health programs. The Company currently has thirteen health system affiliations in place.

 

The Company maintains its principal executive offices at 175 Derby Street, Suite 36, Hingham, Massachusetts 02043, telephone number (781) 741-5175.

 

Industry Overview

 

Work-related injuries and illnesses are a large source of lost productivity and costs for businesses in the United States. In a report issued in October 2002, The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health estimated the cost to business each year of job related injuries to be $171 billion. Liberty Mutual’s 2002 Safety Index, based on 1999 data, estimated the total annual cost, inclusive of lost productivity, overtime, the cost of replacement workers, etc., to be between $120 billion and $240 billion, of which $40 billion related to the direct cost of workplace injuries, namely payments to injured workers and their medical care providers. The Company

Table of Contents

estimates that the primary occupational healthcare market (“Primary Occupational Healthcare”) represented $10 billion of the total outlays, of which $6 billion related to initial treatment of injuries and $4 billion to injury healthcare services, such as prevention and compliance services. Although Primary Occupational Healthcare accounts for only a small portion of these total expenditures, the Company believes it is a critical determinant of other costs. Functioning as the gatekeeper, the occupational medicine physician greatly influences both “down stream” medical costs and when an injured employee returns to work, thereby controlling lost work days.

 

The increase in workers’ compensation costs nationally in recent years, after a short period of relative stability, has resulted in employers taking a more active role in preventing and managing workplace injuries. This typically includes the establishment of safety committees, emphasis on ergonomics in the workplace, drug testing, and other efforts to reduce the number of injuries, and the establishment of preferred provider relationships to ensure prompt and appropriate treatment of work-related injuries when they do occur. Employer demand for comprehensive and sophisticated healthcare services to support these programs has been a key factor in the development of the occupational healthcare industry.

 

The occupational healthcare market is highly fragmented, consisting primarily of individual or small-group practices and hospital-based programs. Increasing capital requirements, the need for more sophisticated management of both information systems and direct sales and marketing, and changes in the competitive environment, including the formation of larger integrated networks such as the Company’s, have all created increased interest in affiliating with larger, professionally managed organizations. As a result of these factors, the Company believes there is an opportunity to consolidate hospital programs and private practices.

 

Strategy

 

The Company’s mission is to reduce the cost of work-related injuries and illnesses and other healthcare costs for employers and payers and to improve the health status of employees through high-quality care and extraordinary service. The Company’s strategic objectives are to develop a comprehensive national network of occupational healthcare delivery sites and to expand its workplace health services to become the leading occupational health provider in selected regional markets.

 

The Company intends to build its network of delivery sites through:

 

    Joint ventures and other contractual arrangements with health systems designed to augment existing occupational health programs and to create networks of occupational health service delivery sites throughout the health system and its affiliates.

 

    Acquisitions of existing occupational medicine, physical therapy and other related service practices.

 

    Start-up of Company-owned centers in strategic locations.

 

Subsequent to an acquisition, joint venture or other contractual relationship, new centers are converted to the Company’s practice model through implementation of the OH+R System. New services are added as required to provide the Company’s comprehensive offering. These additional services may be provided by contracting with affiliates of the newly-partnered health system or with local practitioners. Workplace health services are often delivered at employer locations within the service area of a center and are a natural extension of center operations. The Company’s direct sales efforts and word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied clients are the source of workplace health opportunities not proximate to a center.

 

The Company’s operating strategy is based upon:

 

   

Integration of Services—Prevention and compliance services provide important baseline information to clinicians, as well as knowledge of the work site, which makes the treatment of subsequent injuries more effective. Close management and coordination of all aspects of an injured worker’s care are

Table of Contents
 

essential to ensuring the earliest possible return to work. Management and coordination are difficult, if not impossible, when clinicians are not working within an integrated system. Such a system significantly reduces the number of communications required for a given case and eases the coordination effort, while enhancing the quality of care and patient convenience.

 

    Quality Care and Extraordinary Service—For a number of reasons, injured workers often receive less than optimal care. A lack of quality care is costly to both the injured/ill worker and the employer. The worker faces longer recovery time and the employer bears the burden of unnecessary lost work-days, including indemnity, lost production and staff replacement costs. The Company is committed to providing extraordinary service—to patients, to employers and to third parties. From proactive communications with all parties to custom services addressing an employer’s specific needs, the Company is dedicated to delivering a level of service that is expected from companies noted for extraordinary service, but atypical for healthcare providers.

 

    Outcome Tracking and Reporting—The OH+R System is focused on achieving successful outcomes, cost-effectively returning injured workers to the job as quickly as possible while minimizing the risk of re-injury. Since the inception of its first center, the Company has tracked outcome statistics. The Company believes these extensive outcome statistics demonstrate its ability to return injured workers to the job faster and for costs substantially lower than the national averages and, typically, those of other local occupational health providers.

 

    Low Cost Provider—The Company believes that future success in virtually any segment of healthcare services will require delivery of quality care at the lowest possible price. The Company believes it is a low cost provider, and it is continuously working to further reduce the cost of providing care by streamlining patient processing procedures thereby increasing the productivity of clinicians. The Company routinely refines and revises the OH+R System to increase efficiency and effectiveness.

 

    Provider Relations—The Company believes there is intense competition for occupational health providers who are interested in community-based practice. Consequently, it has implemented strategies to attract, recruit, and retain high quality providers who share the Company’s goals and culture. These strategies include proactive efforts to involve providers in the development of clinical protocols and policies through regular provider meetings and electronic communication, provider involvement in the operation of each center, and varieties of practice to suit individual providers’ interests. The Company uses physician assistants and nurse practitioners as integral parts of the clinical team.

 

    “Best Practices” Ethic—Core to the Company’s operating strategy is the belief that “best practices” in all aspects of occupational healthcare (clinical protocols and procedures, operations protocols, sales systems, service ethics, outcomes measurement, information systems, new site integration, and training and orientation systems) can be continuously improved. The Company constantly pursues enhancement of best practices in all aspects of its business.

 

Services

 

The Company’s services address the diverse healthcare needs and challenges faced by employers in the workplace. Specializing in the prevention, treatment and management of work-related injuries and illnesses, the Company is able to meet the needs of single site, regional multi-site or national employers and payers in the regions it serves. The Company’s services are delivered in a variety of venues including the Company’s full service centers, in the workplace, and through contract arrangements with providers or hospitals affiliated with its health system partners.

 

The Company, in conjunction with its health system partners, provides an integrated system of care. The Company’s full service centers provide primary occupational health services while its health system partners offer after-hours care, specialist services, and diagnostic testing, as needed. The integrated system provides a seamless continuum of services to employees and employers. The Company’s occupational health centers are

typically staffed with multi-disciplinary teams, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physical and occupational therapists, as well as a manager, a client relations director, a care coordinator, and support personnel.

 

In support of both center operations and workplace health initiatives, the Company also provides an after-hours program to coordinate treatment of second and third shift injuries through local emergency departments. This program ensures that the injured employee receives immediate medical attention and continuing treatment in the Company’s organized system of care. The Company also offers 24-hour nurse triage in selected markets.

 

The Company’s Medical Policy Board is the focal point for maintaining and enhancing the Company’s reputation for clinical excellence. The Medical Policy Board is comprised of physicians and other provider representatives employed by the Company who are established, recognized leaders in occupational healthcare. The Medical Policy Board oversees the establishment of “best practice” standards, the development of clinical protocols and quality assurance programs, and the recruitment, training, and monitoring of clinical personnel.

 

Specific services provided by the Company include:

 

Prevention/Compliance

 

A safe work environment is a critical factor impacting costs associated with work-related injuries and illnesses. To optimize workplace safety and productivity, the Company offers a full array of services designed to prevent injuries and to meet regulatory compliance requirements. The expertise and experience of the Company’s occupational health specialists differentiate the Company’s prevention and compliance services. Through treating work-related injuries, the Company’s clinicians gain significant insights into employers’ safety issues, thereby improving the efficacy of prevention programs. The Company’s expertise in health and safety regulatory matters provides employers with a critical resource to assist them in addressing increasingly complex federal and state regulations.

Treatment/Management

 

Where an injured worker receives initial treatment for a work-related injury or illness is critical to the eventual outcome of the case. The initial provider is the medical gatekeeper and single most important player in controlling case costs. When the Company acts as the gatekeeper, whether in a Company center, in the workplace, or through its network providers, it controls the cost of treatment provided as well as the costs of specialist and ancillary services by ensuring that referrals are appropriate and required. The Company’s prevention/compliance efforts support an in-depth understanding of the workplace and the workforce, facilitating optimal treatment plans and early return to work. Lost work-days are minimized when care is controlled and effectively coordinated.

 

The Company’s treatment protocols, which have been demonstrated to be effective through outcome studies documenting reduced medical costs and fewer lost work days, are based on a sports medicine philosophy of early intervention and aggressive treatment to maximize a patient’s recovery while minimizing the ultimate costs associated with the case.

 

As part of the Company’s injury treatment services, the multi-disciplinary clinical team controls and coordinates all aspects of an injured worker’s care. This includes referrals to specialists within a network of physicians who understand workers’ compensation and the special requirements of treating work-related injuries. In a typical Company full service center or a network of its contract providers, medical and rehabilitation team members work within an integrated system of formal, defined protocols. This approach facilitates superior, ongoing communication among clinician team members regarding the most appropriate treatment plan, thus eliminating time lost from delays in dealing with several unrelated providers.

 

Another element to successfully managing work-related injuries is continuous communication to all the “key players,” including the employer, employee, and third-party payers. With expectations and treatment plans clearly communicated to all involved, the Company’s commitment to goal-oriented, cost-effective, quality care is evident.

 

When an individual is not treating with the Company, specialty evaluations are often used to bring a case to closure and/or to create return to work programs for both work-related and non-work-related cases. The Company’s occupational medicine physicians and therapists bring a unique set of skills and experiences to these evaluations, including in-depth understanding of the workplace. Referrals for these services typically come from employers, insurers, or lawyers.

 

Treatment/management services include:

 

    Work-related Injury Treatment

 

    Physical and Occupational Therapy

 

    Specialist Referrals

 

    Care Coordination

 

    Specialty Evaluations

 

— Independent Medical Examinations

 

— Disability Examinations

 

— Fitness-for-Duty and Return-to-Work Examinations

Workplace Health

 

The workplace is often the most effective place for the Company to deliver its services for work-related injuries/illnesses as well as to reduce other employee healthcare costs. Furthermore, many employers recognize the value of medical personnel managing integrated disability management programs that cover both work-related and non-work-related injuries and illnesses. The Company is a leader in workplace health services. It has assembled a fully integrated continuum of workplace health services that systematically address workplace safety and aim to minimize absenteeism of employees who have work-related and non-work-related injuries and illnesses. Employers may choose to have all or some of these services delivered at the workplace through staffing contracts or in conjunction with the Company’s center resources. The Company’s physical and occupational therapists provide job-specific, individualized treatment at the workplace, utilizing real work as the rehabilitation medium. The Company helps employees remain on the job while they receive therapy. Disability days decrease and return-to-work rates increase using this model of rehabilitative care.

 

Consulting/Advisory Services

 

Based on its depth of occupational medicine expertise, the Company provides a variety of consulting/advisory services for clients as follows:

 

    Healthcare Policy Development

 

    Regulatory Compliance

 

    Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance

 

    Environmental Medicine

 

    Medical Review Officer (MRO)

 

Outcomes Measurement and Tracking

 

The Company has significant experience with data management and outcomes tracking and has created a sophisticated reporting tool that enables employers and third-party payers to track all costs and utilization of services received within the Company’s network of care. In addition, the system measures the Company’s return-to-work performance by measuring lost and modified work days per case. The Company believes that its multi-disciplinary clinical teams have consistently outperformed others by returning injured employees to work more quickly and at lower cost, while maintaining high patient satisfaction. The Company believes its ability and willingness to measure and be accountable for its performance to employers and third-party payers significantly differentiate the Company from its competitors.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Company markets through a direct sales force primarily to employers, but also to insurers and third-party administrators. The latter parties strongly influence (and in many instances direct) an injured worker’s choice of provider, while employers select providers for prevention and compliance services.

 

Through a sales planning and forecasting process, markets are analyzed and resources are allocated and consistently monitored to ensure maximum results. Client relations directors (“CRDs”), typically located at each Company center, are responsible for client retention and new client prospecting activities. The personal sales efforts of each CRD are supported by direct mail, selective advertising and public relations programs focused on reinforcing the Company’s position as a leader in occupational health. The successful establishment of partnership relationships with clients is a key ingredient to the Company’s success. During the sales process, the CRD routinely engages the expertise of the local provider team to enhance these efforts.

Agreements with Medical Providers

 

In most cases, medical and other professional services at the Company’s centers are provided through professional corporations (collectively, the “Medical Providers”) that enter into management agreements with the Company or with its affiliated joint ventures which then subcontract with the Company. The Company provides a wide array of business services under these management and submanagement agreements, such as the provision of trained personnel, practice and facilities management, real estate services, billing and collection, accounting, tax and financial management, human resource management, risk management, insurance, sales, marketing, and information-based services such as process management and outcome analysis. The Company provides services under these management agreements as an independent contractor, and the medical personnel at the centers, under the direction of the Medical Providers, provide all medical services and retain sole responsibility for all medical decisions. The management agreements grant the Medical Providers a non-exclusive license to use the Company’s service mark “Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc.” These agreements typically have automatically renewing terms and specific termination rights. Management fees payable to the Company vary depending upon the particular circumstances and applicable legal requirements. These fees may include an assignment of certain accounts receivable, an allocation of a portion of net revenue, or a flat fee for each service provided by the Company.

 

Expansion Plan

 

The Company’s objective is to develop regional occupational healthcare systems in selected areas of the United States with full-service occupational health centers, workplace health sites, and a variety of network providers, typically affiliated with the Company’s health system partners. Forming ventures, alliances and other contractual relationships with hospitals, health systems, and providers in markets in which it operates is a key strategy for the Company. The Company’s management team, comprised primarily of seasoned healthcare executives, is experienced in corporate development as well as the integration and operation of the resulting acquisitions, ventures and alliances. In addition, the OH+R System, with its documented protocols covering all aspects of occupational health services delivery, facilitates effective assimilation of new operations. The Company believes that occupational health providers, like all other segments of the healthcare industry, have been subjected to the pressure of managed care and other cost containment efforts from employers and payers. These pressures and the expected continuance of regulatory complexities in the workers’ compensation and health and safety systems have caused a growing need, in the Company’s opinion, for physicians and hospitals with occupational health programs to seek affiliations with larger, professionally managed organizations, such as the Company that specialize in occupational healthcare. However, because of the many factors involved in building such a network, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in meeting its expansion goals.

 

Health System Joint Ventures, Affiliations and Network Service Agreements

 

The Company’s intended principal method of expansion is entering into joint ventures, affiliations, service agreements, or other contractual arrangements with health systems to develop and operate comprehensive occupational health programs based upon networks of delivery sites, including full-service centers, satellite locations and/or contract providers. There are about 3,200 hospital-owned occupational health programs in the United States. Approximately half of these programs are affiliated with one of the 270 multi-hospital health systems that offer occupational health services while the rest are operated by non-health system affiliated hospitals.

 

Most hospital occupational health programs have developed by default. Employers and injured employees have naturally looked to the local hospital for treatment of work-related injuries. In addition, as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and other safety and health regulations came into existence, hospitals again were the logical, and often only, place for employers to turn for service. The majority of the occupational health services offered by hospitals are delivered by functional departments where occupational

Table of Contents

health is a small percentage of the services rendered. Management of care, employer communications and, ultimately, successful outcomes are extremely difficult to accomplish. Because of their relatively small size in the context of the total hospital system, occupational health departments generally receive insufficient management attention, operate at a loss, and require constant funding. Consequently, many health systems are looking to acknowledged experts in the field, such as the Company, for effective outsourcing of their hospital-based occupational health programs.

 

By affiliating or contracting with the Company, health systems benefit from:

 

    The Company’s expertise in profitably delivering high quality care and extraordinary service at the center level

 

    Minimization of capital requirements

 

    The OH+R System—a proven clinical and operating system

 

    Retention of occupational health, and the resultant downstream services, as a service affiliated with the hospital, while transferring the operational responsibilities to an organization totally focused on successful operation of occupational health programs

 

    Increased ability to recruit qualified providers and integrate them into an established network

 

    The clinical expertise of the Company’s Medical Policy Board which helps ensure that the health system’s patients are receiving “best practice” care

 

    The Company’s entrepreneurial work environment that provides incentives for performance

 

    The Company’s expertise in sales and marketing to increase market share, occupational health revenues, and referrals for other health system services

 

    Access to the Company’s regional network of multi-location clients

 

    Enhanced relationships with employers, many of whom are becoming directly involved in contracting with health systems to provide healthcare for their employees

 

Health system relationships allow the Company to leverage the name and position of the institution within a community to expedite building market share. Moreover, as healthcare reform continues, many hospitals and health systems are re-thinking their scope of activities. As a result, health systems are concentrating more of their effort and capital on core services and are more open to outsourcing important yet ancillary services such as occupational health. It is strategically important for the Company to have links to these systems in order to be well positioned to become the occupational health provider for a system.

 

In March 2000, the Company formed a joint venture with SSM Health Care St. Louis to operate the latter’s existing network of occupational health centers located in and around St. Louis, Missouri. SSM Health Care St. Louis is a member of SSM Health Care, a leading provider of healthcare services in St. Louis and its environs. Effective August 1, 2002, the Company increased its ownership in the joint venture to 96% from 80%, and recognized $90,000 in goodwill on the transaction.

 

In October 2000, the Company entered into a long-term management contract with affiliates of Baptist Hospital System, Inc. in Nashville, Tennessee (“BHS”) to operate the Baptist Care Centers, seven ambulatory care centers located throughout the Nashville metropolitan area. BHS services central Tennessee through its flagship Baptist Hospital in Nashville, the largest not-for-profit tertiary care hospital in the region. The Company has decided that it will no longer offer urgent care services at its centers in Tennessee after March 31, 2003 and will focus instead solely on occupational health services. Due to declining revenue, a high incidence of bad debts, and other considerations relating to urgent care, the Company does not believe the elimination of these services will have a material negative effect on its operating profit, despite a projected loss of revenue of $2,500,000 for the nine months ending December 31, 2003 resulting from this decision. The Company has taken various

Table of Contents

measures to ensure that its urgent care patients will continue to receive appropriate medical care, including the conversion of two of its seven centers from mixed use sites to centers that provide only urgent care under the ownership of independent providers.

 

Under these health system affiliations, the Company typically provides all necessary personnel and assumes management responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the occupational health entity. In return for such services, the Company will receive fees customarily including a component based upon the net revenue attained by the entity and its operating profit performance, as well as reimbursement of all of the Company’s personnel costs and other expenses incurred. Moreover, in a typical joint venture, the Company will own 51% or more of the occupational health entity with the health system owning the remainder. The Company is continuously exploring potential health system affiliations but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in these efforts.

 

Acquisitions, Strategic Alliances and Selective Start-ups

 

By acquiring private practices that perform occupational medicine, physical therapy, or related services, the Company can enter a new geographical area or consolidate its position within an existing market. Therapy practices receive referrals of injured workers from local specialty physicians, which can complement the Company’s direct marketing to employers. Alternatively, occupational medicine practices, including medical consulting practices focused on occupational and environmental health issues, have established relationships with employers to whom the Company may provide its more comprehensive services.

 

In November 2001, OHR-SSM, LLC, a joint venture of the Company, purchased an occupational medicine business in St. Louis, Missouri for $77,000, and recognized goodwill of $57,000. The acquired revenue stream was incorporated into the Company’s existing Missouri centers.

 

In January 2002, the Company entered into an affiliation with a hospital system in New Jersey to operate its employee health and occupational health programs. In February 2002, the Company purchased two occupational health clinics located in New Jersey and transferred the hospital system’s occupational health programs to these centers. The combined purchase price of these entities was $610,000, of which $70,000 was in cash and the balance in the form of a subordinated note payable in varying installments through February 2005. The Company recognized goodwill of $621,000 on these transactions. Effective July 1, 2002, the Company assumed the 40% ownership interest of its joint venture partner in its Rochester, NY center, and recognized $193,000 in goodwill on the transaction.

 

Effective January 31, 2003, the Company terminated its long-term management contract with Eastern Rehabilitation Network (“ERN”), an affiliate of Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Connecticut, in exchange for transfer of title to the Company of ERN’s four occupational health centers in Connecticut which the Company had previously managed for ERN. In addition, ERN agreed to terminate its network provider agreement with Hartford Medical Group (“HMG”), also an affiliate of Hartford Hospital, under which the Company had managed seven occupational health centers owned by HMG. The Company agreed to pay ERN $25,000 for its share of the network’s assets. There will be a final settlement between the parties as of June 30, 2003 after the Company has collected all amounts owed to, and paid all amounts owed by, the network as of the termination date.

 

In 2002, the Company recognized revenue of $2,286,000 for the seven occupational health centers owned by HMG which it will no longer manage in 2003. Because a significant proportion of the revenue was paid to providers for services rendered, the Company does not expect the loss of revenue will have a material negative effect on its operating profit.

 

The Company will also consider establishing start-up centers when appropriate. This approach is most suitable for geographic areas proximate to existing Company centers or where a significant source of patients can

Table of Contents

be assured through arrangements with large employers and third-party administrators. Often, start-ups can be developed in concert with a local provider, enabling the Company to minimize its investments, particularly during the early growth phase of the site. The Company will continue to explore opportunities such as these throughout its marketplace when conditions warrant such an approach. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

1999 Restructuring Plan

 

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company initiated measures designed to enhance its overall financial strength and success. These measures principally included the closure of Company centers that were either outside of the Company’s core occupational health focus or were not capable of achieving significant profitability due to specific market factors. In December 1999, the Company’s South Boston, Massachusetts occupational health and sports medicine center was closed and during the first quarter of 2000 its Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts occupational health and sports conditioning center and its Essex Junction, Vermont primary care location were closed. The restructuring plan also included the streamlining of certain other remaining operations and the elimination or combining of various positions within the Company. The plan resulted in restructuring and other charges of $2,262,000.

 

During 2000 and 2001, the Company negotiated buyout terms for some or all of the space at certain of the closed centers. At December 31, 2002, the Company’s obligation for future lease payments and other charges relating to the closed centers was $22,000.

 

Competition

 

Most organizations providing care for work-related injuries and illnesses in the eastern part of the United States are local providers or hospitals. The fundamental difference between the Company and these providers is the Company’s focused expertise in combining multiple disciplines to address the needs of a single market segment—work-related injuries and illnesses, and prevention and compliance services. Other providers are generally organized to provide services, such as physical therapy, to a wide variety of market segments with differing needs, regardless of the source of the injury or type of patient.

 

Most of the Company’s competitors are local operations and typically provide only some of the services required to successfully resolve work-related injuries and illnesses, and reduce employers’ costs. Hospitals typically provide most of the required services but not as part of a tightly integrated, formal care system. Injured workers tend to be a small segment of the patients seen by the individual hospital departments involved, and department personnel tend not to have any particular training or expertise in work-related injuries and illnesses.

 

Concentra, Inc. is the nation’s largest company providing occupational healthcare followed by U.S. HealthWorks, Inc. which in 2000 acquired the occupational health centers operated by HEALTHSOUTH Corporation, a large national provider of rehabilitation services which also offered occupational health services in certain locations. Although the Company has not yet seen a significant occupational healthcare presence from these companies in the markets in which it currently operates in the Northeast United States, it is beginning to see them as it moves into new markets. While the Company believes it can compete effectively with these companies on the basis of quality and service, there can be no assurance that these competitors will not establish similar services to those offered by the Company in all its markets. These companies are larger than the Company and have greater financial resources.

Laws and Regulations

 

General

 

As a participant in the healthcare industry, the Company’s operations and relationships are subject to extensive and increasing regulation by a number of governmental entities at the federal, state, and local levels. The Company is also subject to laws and regulations relating to business corporations in general. The Company believes that its operations are in material compliance with applicable laws. Nevertheless, many aspects of the Company’s business operations, especially those related to the special nature of the Company’s relationship with the Medical Providers, have not been the subject of state or federal regulatory interpretation, and there can be no assurance that a review of the Company’s or the Medical Providers’ business by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect the operations of the Company or the Medical Providers or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change so as to restrict the Company’s or the Medical Providers’ existing operations or their expansion.

 

Workers’ Compensation Legislation

 

Each state in which the Company operates has workers’ compensation programs requiring employers to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs resulting from work-related injuries, illnesses, and disabilities. Medical costs are paid to healthcare providers through the employers’ purchase of insurance from private workers’ compensation carriers, participation in a state fund, or by self-insurance. Changes in workers’ compensation laws or regulations may create a greater or lesser demand for some or all of the Company’s services, require the Company to develop new or modified services or ways of doing business to meet the needs of the marketplace and compete effectively, or modify the fees that the Company may charge for its services.

 

Many states are considering or have enacted legislation reforming their workers’ compensation laws. These reforms generally give employers greater control over who will provide medical care to their employees and where those services will be provided, and attempt to contain medical costs associated with workers’ compensation claims. Some states have implemented procedure-specific fee schedules that set maximum reimbursement levels for healthcare services. The federal government and certain states provide for a “reasonableness” review of medical costs paid or reimbursed by workers’ compensation.

 

When not governed by a fee schedule, the Company adjusts its charges to the usual and customary levels authorized by the payer.

 

Corporate Practice of Medicine and Other Laws

 

Most states limit the practice of medicine to licensed individuals or professional organizations which are themselves comprised of licensed individuals and prohibit physicians and other licensed individuals from splitting professional fees with non-licensed persons. Many states also limit the scope of business relationships between business entities such as the Company and licensed professionals and professional corporations, particularly with respect to non-physicians exercising control over physicians engaged in the practice of medicine. Many states require regulatory approval, including certificates of need, before establishing certain types of healthcare facilities, offering certain services or making expenditures in excess of statutory thresholds for healthcare equipment, facilities or programs.

 

Laws and regulations relating to the corporate practice of medicine, the sharing of professional fees, certificates of need, and similar issues vary widely from state to state, are often vague, and are seldom interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies in a manner that provides guidance with respect to business operations such as those of the Company. Although the Company attempts to structure all of its operations so that they comply with the relevant state statutes and believes that its operations and planned activities do not violate any applicable medical practice, fee-splitting, certificates of need, or similar laws, there can be no assurance that (i) courts or

 

11


Table of Contents

governmental officials with the power to interpret or enforce these laws and regulations will not assert that the Company or certain transactions in which it is involved are in violation of such laws and regulations, and (ii) future interpretations of such laws and regulations will not require structural and organizational modifications of the Company’s business. In addition, the laws and regulations of some states could restrict expansion of the Company’s operations into those states.

 

Federal regulations aimed at standardizing the format in which certain types of healthcare information is exchanged electronically and establishing standards for the security and privacy of protected healthcare information have been issued pursuant to the administrative simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Further regulations under HIPAA, as well as modifications to and interpretations of existing regulations, are expected. Compliance with these regulations will be required beginning April 14, 2003 and at various dates thereafter for Covered Entities (as defined). Based principally upon the projected composition of its business at that date, most notably the elimination of its urgent care services in March 2003, and because it does not engage in Covered Transactions through electronic means, the Company has determined that it does not currently fall directly under the purview of HIPPA. However, the Company recognizes that a number of the standards established by HIPPA represent “best practices” for its own business and it intends to phase in those procedures over the next two years in addition to maintaining compliance with state privacy laws applicable to its business. The Company may also be expected to comply with some limited HIPAA standards under future contracts with health care providers and insurers. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be required at some future time to comply fully with HIPPA in which event the Company may be called upon to devote substantial management effort and expenditures to achieving such compliance.

 

Fraud and Abuse Laws

 

A federal law (the “Anti-Kickback Statute”) prohibits any offer, payment, solicitation, or receipt of any form of remuneration to induce, or in return for, the referral of Medicare or other governmental health program patients or patient care opportunities, or in return for the purchase, lease or order of, or arranging for, items or services that are covered by Medicare or other governmental health programs. Violations of the statute can result in the imposition of substantial civil and criminal penalties. In addition, certain anti-referral provisions (the “Stark Amendments”) prohibit a physician with a “financial interest” in an entity from referring a patient to that entity for the provision of certain “designated health services,” some of which are provided by the Medical Providers that engage the Company’s management services.

 

Most states have statutes, regulations or professional codes that restrict a physician from accepting various kinds of remuneration in exchange for making referrals, some of which are similar to the Anti-Kickback Statute and are applicable to non-governmental programs. Several states are considering legislation that would prohibit referrals by a physician for certain types of healthcare services to an entity in which the physician has a specified financial interest.

 

All of the foregoing laws are subject to modification and interpretation, have not often been interpreted by appropriate authorities in a manner directly relevant to the Company’s business, and are enforced by authorities vested with broad discretion. The Company has attempted to structure all of its operations so that they comply with applicable federal and state anti-kickback and anti-referral prohibitions. The Company also monitors developments in this area. If these laws are interpreted in a manner contrary to the Company’s interpretation, or are reinterpreted or amended, or if new legislation is enacted with respect to healthcare fraud and abuse or similar issues, the Company will seek to restructure any affected operations so as to maintain compliance with applicable law. No assurance, however, can be given that such restructuring will be possible, or, if possible, will not adversely affect the Company’s business.

Antitrust Laws

 

Federal, and many state, laws prohibit anti-competitive conduct, including price fixing, improper exercise of monopoly power, concerted refusals to deal, and division of markets. Violations of the Sherman Act, the primary federal antitrust statute, are felonies punishable by significant fines. While the Company believes that it is in compliance with relevant antitrust laws, no assurance can be given that the Company’s business practices will be interpreted by federal and state enforcement agencies to comply with such laws, and any violation of such laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business.

 

Uncertainties Related to Changing Healthcare Environment

 

Over the last several years, the healthcare industry has experienced change. Although managed care has yet to become a major factor in occupational healthcare, the Company anticipates that managed care programs, including capitation plans, may play an increasing role in the delivery of occupational healthcare services. Further, competition in the occupational healthcare industry may shift from individual practitioners to specialized provider groups such as those managed by the Company, insurance companies, health maintenance organizations and other significant providers of managed care products. To facilitate the Company’s managed care strategy, the Company is offering risk-sharing products for the workers’ compensation industry that will be marketed to employers, insurers and managed care organizations. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will prosper in the changing healthcare environment or that the Company’s strategy to develop managed care programs will succeed in meeting employers’ and workers’ occupational healthcare needs.

 

Other changes in the healthcare environment may result from an Internal Revenue Service ruling related to whole-hospital joint ventures with tax-exempt organizations. The Company currently does not believe that this specific ruling will be extended to joint ventures concerning ancillary services such as occupational health for tax-exempt hospitals; however, if so extended, the Company’s structure for joint ventures with tax-exempt hospitals may differ from the Company’s typical model so as not to jeopardize the tax-exempt status of these hospitals.

 

Environmental

 

The Company and the Medical Providers are subject to various federal, state, and local statutes and ordinances regulating the disposal of infectious waste. If any environmental regulatory agency finds the Company’s facilities to be in violation of waste laws, penalties and fines may be imposed for each day of violation, and the affected facility could be forced to cease operations. The Company believes that its waste handling and discharge practices are in material compliance with the applicable law; however, any future claims or changes in environmental laws could have an adverse effect on the Company and its business.

 

Use of Provider Networks

 

The Company’s provision of comprehensive healthcare management and cost containment services depends in part on its ability to contract with or create networks of healthcare providers which share its objectives. For some of its clients, the Company offers injured workers access to networks of providers who are selected by the Company or its joint venture partners for quality of care and willingness to follow the OH+R System. Laws regulating the operation of managed care provider networks have been adopted by a number of states. These laws may apply to managed care provider networks having contracts with the Company or to provider networks that the Company may develop or acquire. To the extent these regulations apply to the Company, the Company may be subject to additional licensing requirements, financial oversight and procedural standards for beneficiaries and providers.

Background

 

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1988. On June 6, 1996, Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc (“OH+R”) merged with and into (the “Merger”) Telor Opthalmic Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Telor”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, Telor was the surviving corporation. Concurrent with the Merger, however, Telor’s name was changed to Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc, and the business of the surviving corporation was changed to the business of OH+R. The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” whereby OH+R was deemed to have acquired Telor for financial reporting purposes.

 

Economic Conditions

 

The Company’s success is influenced by a number of economic factors, principally employment levels and the rate of change thereof, and the general level of business activity. Adverse changes in these economic conditions may negatively affect the Company’s growth and profitability.

 

Seasonality

 

The Company is subject to the seasonal fluctuations that impact the various employers and their employees it serves. Historically, the Company has noticed these impacts in portions of the first and fourth quarters. Traditionally, revenues are lower during these periods since patient visits decrease due to the occurrence of plant closings, vacations, holidays, a reduction in new employee hirings, and inclement weather conditions. These activities also cause a decrease in drug and alcohol testings, medical monitoring services, and pre-employment examinations. Similar fluctuations occur during the summer months, but typically to a lesser degree than during the first and fourth quarters. The Company attempts to ameliorate the impact of these fluctuations through adjusting staff levels and ongoing efforts to add service lines with less seasonality.

 

Employees

 

As of February 28, 2003, the Company employed 543 individuals on a full and part-time basis. The total clinical professionals contracted or associated with the Company as of February 28, 2003 were 258, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, medical assistants, physical and occupational therapists, and assistant physical and occupational therapists. None of the Company’s employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and considers its relations with its employees to be good.

(1)   Includes the Company’s 1993, 1996, and 1998 Stock Plans. The 1998 Stock Plan, as approved by the Company’s stockholders, reserved 150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for the granting of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, and stock appreciation rights. The Company’s board of directors has subsequently approved, without stockholder approval, the reservation of an additional of 720,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the 1998 Stock Plan for the granting of non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the Company did not make any sales of unregistered securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, on March 24, 2003, the Company paid a cash amount of $2,699,740.35 and issued 1,608,247 shares of its Common Stock, and promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,699,740.35 to repurchase 1,416,667 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, from certain venture capital funds and other accredited investors (the “Sellers”) in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

In claiming the exemption under Section 4(2) and Rule 506, the Company relied in part on the following facts: (1) each of the Sellers represented that such Seller (a) had the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risk of an investment in the Company; (b) was able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company; (c) had access to or was furnished with the kinds of information that registration under the Securities Act would have provided; (d) acquired the shares for the Seller’s own account in a transaction not involving any general solicitation or general advertising, and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and (e) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 502 of Regulation D; and (2) a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate or other instrument evidencing the shares and notes.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

The Company is a leading provider of occupational healthcare services to employers and their employees specializing in the prevention, treatment, and management of work related injuries and illnesses. The Company develops and operates multidisciplinary outpatient healthcare centers and contracts with other healthcare providers to develop integrated occupational healthcare delivery systems. The Company typically operates the centers under management and submanagement agreements with professional corporations that practice exclusively through such centers. Additionally, the Company has entered into joint ventures and long-term management agreements with health systems to provide management and related services to the centers and networks of providers established by the joint ventures.

 

The Company’s operations have been funded primarily through venture capital investments, the Merger, and lines of credit. The Company’s growth has resulted predominantly from the formation of joint ventures, long-term management agreements, acquisitions, and development of businesses principally engaged in occupational healthcare.

 

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere within this report, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies. The Company relies on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recorded at estimated net amounts to be received from employers, third-party payers, and others for services rendered. The Company operates in certain states that regulate the amounts which the Company can charge for its services associated with work-related injuries and illnesses.

 

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from third-party payers (principally, managed care companies and commercial insurance companies) as well as amounts due from private individuals. Estimated provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded to the extent that it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account receivable will not be collected. The Company estimates the provision for doubtful accounts based on various factors including payer type, historical collection patterns, and the age of the receivable. Changes in estimates for particular accounts receivable are recorded in the period in which the change occurs.

Impairment of Property and Equipment, Goodwill, and Intangible Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets on a quarterly basis. The Company’s review is undertaken to determine if current facts and circumstances suggest that the assets have been impaired or that the life of the asset needs to be changed. As part of its review, the Company considers various factors including local market developments, changes in the regulatory environment, historical financial performance, recent operating results, and projected future cash flows. Any impairment would be recognized in operating results if a diminution in value considered to be other than temporary were to occur. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company did not recognize any adjustments to the carrying value of its property and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets.

 

Reserves for Employee Health Benefits

 

The Company retains a significant amount of self-insurance risk for its employee health benefits. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance which limits the Company’s liability for health insurance payments on both an individual and total group basis. At the end of each quarter, the Company records an accrued expense for estimated health benefit claims incurred but not reported at the end of such period. The Company estimates this accrual based on various factors including historical experience, industry trends, and recent claims history. This accrual is by necessity based on estimates and is subject to ongoing revision as conditions change and as new data present themselves. Adjustments to estimated liabilities are recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. SFAS 142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. Adoption of SFAS 142 by the Company on January 1, 2002 resulted in an increase in net income of approximately $186,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to the year ended December 2001.

 

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. Companies are required to adopt SFAS 143 in their fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143 requires that obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recorded as a liability when these obligations are incurred, with the amount of the liability initially measured at fair value. Upon recognizing a liability, an entity must capitalize the cost by recognizing an increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset, accrete the liability over time to its present value each period, and depreciate the capitalized cost over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, the obligation is either settled for its recorded amount or a gain or loss is recognized. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 143 will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company adopted SFAS 144 for its fiscal year 2002. SFAS 144 changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale, revises the rules regarding reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business, and requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the periods in which the losses were incurred. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 144 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. Companies are required to adopt SFAS 145 in their fiscal year beginning after May 15, 2002. On matters with possible application to the Company, SFAS 145 rescinds, SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments of Debt, and SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” SFAS 145 amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate certain inconsistencies. It also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed circumstances. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 145 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, rather than recognizing a liability when an entity commits to an exit plan. The statement also established that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 146 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. SFAS 148 provides additional transition guidance for those entities that elect to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS 123. SFAS does not change the provisions of SFAS 123 that permit entities to continue to apply the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

 

SFAS 148 is intended to encourage the adoption of the accounting provisions of SFAS 123. Under the provisions of SFAS 148, companies that choose to adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS 123 will be permitted to select from three transition methods:

 

  (a)   Prospective method.    Apply the recognition provisions to all employee compensation awards granted, modified, or settled after the beginning of the fiscal year in which the recognition provisions are first applied. The prospective method, however, may no longer be applied for adoptions of the accounting provisions of SFAS 123 for periods beginning after December 15, 2003.

 

  (b)   Modified prospective method.    Recognize stock-based employee compensation cost from the beginning of the fiscal year in which the recognition provisions are first applied as if the fair value based accounting method had been used to account for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.

 

  (c)   Retroactive restatement method.    Restate all periods presented to reflect stock-based employee compensation cost under the fair value based accounting method for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the adoption of SFAS 148 and is in the process of determining the impact of the Statement on its financial statements. The Company does not believe the application of SFAS 148 will materially affect its results of operations in 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollar amounts in thousands)

 

Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

 

Revenue

 

Revenue in 2002 decreased by $68, or 0.1%, to $56,949 from $57,017 in 2001. A decrease in revenue of $1,948, or 3.4%, at centers in operation for comparable periods in both years was offset by revenue of $2,245 generated by centers opened during 2002. Revenue in 2001 included $365 from non-core businesses which were closed during 2001. The decrease in same center revenue in 2002 was primarily due to the general economic recession which had an especially negative effect on urgent care services. Revenue for urgent care services, which are offered only at the Company’s centers in Tennessee, decreased by $1,038, or 22.1%, versus the prior year. Because of the declining revenue, a high incidence of bad debts, and other economic reasons, the Company has determined that it will no longer offer urgent care services in Tennessee after March 31, 2003.

 

Same center revenue in the Company’s core business of occupational medicine decreased 1.8% in 2002 compared to 2001. Including centers open less than a year, revenue in the Company’s core business increased $1,292, or 2.5%, with gains being recorded in all major categories other than prevention services. During periods of economic recession, prevention services generally decline in line with the magnitude of the slow down in economic activity. Although there can be no assurance that this will occur in the future, such a decline has historically reversed as the level of economic activity increases in the markets served by the Company.

 

Operating, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased $1,327, or 2.7%, to $49,803 in 2002 from $48,476 in 2001. Same center operating expenses decreased $842 despite an increase of $444 in information services-related costs. To counter the downturn in its business as result of the weak economy, the Company reduced expenses in all facets of its operations including employee costs where same center costs decreased about 4% after significant increases in the cost of employee benefits. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased by 2.5 percentage points to 87.5% in 2002 from 85.0% in 2001, primarily due to expected early stage losses at centers acquired in 2002 and an increase in rehabilitation services provided by subcontractors.

 

22


Table of Contents

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $213, or 4.2% to $4,883 in 2002 from $5,096 in 2001, primarily due to the elimination of a number of management positions as part of its company-wide program to reduce expenses. Because of the payment of severance costs, the full benefit of these actions will not be realized until 2003. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses declined by 0.3 percentage points to 8.6% in 2002 from 8.9% in 2001.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 20.0% to $1,012 in 2002 from $1,265 in 2001. Depreciation expense increased to $961 in 2002 from $911 in 2001, primarily due to continued investment in information services-related equipment. Amortization expense decreased to $51 in 2002 from $354 in 2001 because the Company adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002 and no longer amortizes its goodwill. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization fell to 1.8% in 2002 from 2.2% in 2001.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased to $423 in 2002 from $507 in 2001. The decrease was due primarily to lower interest rates. As a percentage of total revenue, interest expense fell to 0.7% in 2002 from 0.9% in 2001.

 

Minority Interest and Contractual Settlements

 

Minority interest represents the share of (profits) and losses of joint venture investors with the Company. In 2002, the minority interest in pre-tax profits of subsidiaries increased to $(891) from $(699) in 2001, reflecting the greater aggregate profits of the joint venture operations. Contractual settlements represent payments to, or receipts from, the Company’s partners under the Company’s management contracts in respect of the partners’ share of operating (profits) or losses, respectively. In 2002, the Company recorded receipt of $395 of funded operating losses and contractual settlements compared to $370 in 2001.

 

Tax Provision (Benefit)

 

There was a tax provision of $215 in 2002 compared to a net tax benefit of $(2,695) in 2001. The tax provision for 2002 includes $52 in respect of 2001 charges not previously recognized relating to an adjustment to the deferred tax benefit, and to state income taxes. These charges resulted in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate to 60.1% from the normalized rate of 45.5%. At December 31, 2001, the Company, having determined that its operating results and forecasted future income supported an assertion that ultimate realization of its net deferred tax assets was more likely than not, fully released the valuation allowance which had in prior years offset such deferred tax assets, and recorded a deferred tax benefit of $2,768. The Company also recorded tax expense of $73 in 2001, primarily relating to state income taxes.

 

Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased 30.5% to $57,017 in 2001 from $43,683 in 2000. Of the total increase, $778 was attributable to a center brought under management during 2001. Revenue at centers in operation during all of 2001 and only a part of 2000 grew $13,186 or 30.8%. These increases were partially offset by the elimination of $630 of revenue generated in the prior year by centers which were subsequently closed. Revenue at centers in operation during all of 2001 and only part of 2000 grew $13,186, or 30.8%. Revenue at centers open for comparable periods in 2001 and 2000 increased 6.5%, primarily due to volume growth.

 

Operating, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased 33.3% to $48,476 in 2001 from $36,376 in 2000. This increase primarily reflects a full year of expenses at centers brought under management during 2000. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased by 1.7 percentage points to 85.0% in 2001 from 83.3% in 2000. In certain centers

 

23


Table of Contents

that are operated under joint venture or management contracts, the Company’s contractual partner is responsible for funding initial operating losses. The amount of such payments is recorded as a non-operating gain. Some of these early stage, unprofitable operations have taken longer than initially expected to achieve profitability, primarily due to the economic recession. Although there can be no assurance that this will occur in the current economic climate, full implementation of the Company’s operating model generally reduces operating expenses as a percentage of revenue resulting in the more profitable operations seen in mature centers.

 

General and administrative expenses increased 5.6% to $5,096 in 2001 from $4,824 in 2000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in field management expenses. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses declined by 2.1 percentage points to 8.9% in 2001 from 11.0% in 2000, reflecting the Company’s leveraging of its fixed costs on its revenue growth.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 11.6% to $1,265 in 2001 from $1,134 in 2000. The increase was primarily due to information services-related capital expenditures. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 2.2% in 2001 from 2.6% in 2000, primarily due to the increase in revenue.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased to $507 in 2001 from $535 in 2000. The decrease was due both to lower interest rates and to lower average loan balances on the Company’s lines of credit. As a percentage of total revenue, interest expense decreased to 0.9% in 2001 from 1.2% in 2000.

 

Minority Interest and Contractual Settlements

 

Minority interest represents the share of (profits) and losses of joint venture investors with the Company. In 2001, the minority interest in pre-tax profits of the joint ventures increased to $(699) from $(510) in 2000, reflecting the greater aggregate profits of the joint venture operations. Contractual settlements represent payments to, or receipts from, the Company’s partners under the Company’s management contracts in respect of the partners’ share of operating (profits) or losses, respectively. In 2001, the Company recorded receipt of $370 of funded operating losses and contractual settlements compared to $615 in 2000, primarily reflecting the improved operating results of these early stage operations.

 

Recovery of Note Receivable

 

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company wrote off the outstanding balance of $292 on a note receivable due to collection uncertainties. Because it was in default of certain loan covenants with its lender, the payer of the note ceased making its quarterly principal payments after June 1999 while it attempted to restructure its debt. Subsequent to the sale of the payer’s business in February 2001, the Company received $248 in final settlement of all amounts due under the note and recognized the gain in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000.

 

Tax Provision (Benefit)

 

At December 31, 2001, the Company, having determined that its operating results and forecasted future income supported an assertion that ultimate realization of its net deferred tax assets was more likely than not, fully released the valuation allowance which had in prior years offset such deferred tax assets, and recorded a deferred tax benefit of $2,768. The Company also recorded tax expense of $73 in 2001, primarily relating to state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had $4,049 in working capital compared to $4,453 in 2001 and $1,935 in 2000. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2002 consisted of (i) cash and cash equivalents aggregating $1,674 and (ii) accounts receivable of $9,736.

 

Net cash provided (used) by operating activities in 2002 was $2,606 compared to $3,957 in 2001 and $(1,142) in 2000. The lower liquidity in 2002 compared to 2001 was primarily due to a decrease in profitability, after adjusting for non-cash charges.

 

Accounts receivable decreased to $9,736 in 2002 from $11,211 in 2001 and $11,015 in 2000. The reduction in accounts receivable in 2002 was attributable primarily to a reorganization of the Company’s centralized billing offices during the year. As a result, days sales outstanding at December 31, 2002 decreased to 62 from 72 at the end of 2001. Days sales outstanding at December 31, 2000 were 78 after annualizing revenue at centers added during the year.

 

Prepaid expenses and other assets increased $390 in 2002 from 2001, primarily due to the prepayment of one month’s estimated employee medical costs to the Company’s new medical insurance administrator. Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $535 in 2001 from 2000, primarily due to final settlement in 2001 of amounts owed the Company by a hospital system partner responsible for funding first year working capital deficiencies and by a client under a managed care contract which expired in mid year.

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased to $5,949 in 2002 from $6,755 in 2001 and $6,403 in 2000. The decrease of $806 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in 2002 was primarily due to more prompt settlement of both medical claims by the Company’s new employee medical insurance administrator and amounts due to certain third-party providers who provide medical services to the Company’s patients, and to a smaller employee incentive pay liability. The increase of $352 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in 2001 over 2000 was primarily due to an increase in the estimated liability for employee medical insurance payments, and to an additional day of accrued payroll.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,892, $934, and $292 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The Company’s investing activities included fixed asset additions of $891, $993, and $687 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, primarily related to information services equipment.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Company paid cash of $886, $773, and $610, respectively, relating to distributions to its joint venture partners. Distributions of cash in joint ventures to the Company and its joint venture partners allow the Company access to its share of the cash accumulated by the joint ventures which it can then utilize for general corporate purposes. The Company expects to continue to make future distributions when the cash balances in the joint ventures permit.

Table of Contents

 

In 2002, net cash used in investing activities included $115, primarily relating to the purchase of two occupational health centers in New Jersey. In 2001, investing activities included the purchase of a physician business with a cash outlay of $77. In addition, the Company paid $211 and $270 in 2001 and 2000, respectively, relating to earnouts in connection with previously acquired businesses.

 

In 2001 and 2000, net cash used in investing activities also included receipt by the Company of $872 and $1,199, respectively, under an agreement with a hospital system to manage its ambulatory care centers where the system provided working capital necessary to fund the working capital deficiencies (as defined) during the first twelve months of operations. At December 31, 2001, the Company recognized a negative net intangible asset of $629 from this agreement, representing the net difference of payments made by, or committed to, each party to induce the other to enter into the management agreement. At December 31, 2000, the Company recognized a net intangible asset of $244 in respect of this agreement and recorded the amount payable by the Company of $2,000 as a non-cash transaction, net of a discount of $531. The amount is payable by the Company over a five year period. At December 31, 2002, the amount payable was $893, net of a discount of $307.

 

Net cash (used) provided by financing activities was $(647), $(2,859), and $1,365 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. In 2002 and 2001, the Company paid down $198 and $2,153, net of advances, respectively, under its line of credit. The pay down in 2001 was primarily due to the strong operating performance that year and the net receipt of $872 to fund certain working capital deficiencies.

 

Under lease arrangements with certain leasing companies, the Company accumulates its fixed asset purchases until the value of those purchases reach a certain minimum amount before requesting a draw down from its lease lines. In 2002 and 2001, cash proceeds of $766 and $398, respectively, were received under its lease lines, primarily to fund information services equipment. The Company used funds of $1,205, $1,072, and $766 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, for the payment of long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

 

In December 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with DVI Business Credit Corporation (DVI), a specialty finance company for healthcare providers, for a three-year revolving credit line of up to $7,250 (the “Credit Line”). In March 2003, DVI extended the term of the Credit Line to March 31, 2004. The facility is collateralized by present and future assets of certain operations of the Company. The borrowing base consists of a certain percentage of eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate under the Credit Line is the prime rate plus 1%. The Credit Line’s covenants include a quarterly tangible net worth requirement of $3,000 (defined as shareholders’ equity plus the Redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, subordinated debt, and minority interests less intangible assets, goodwill, deferred tax assets, leasehold improvements, deposits and certain prepayments), a leverage coverage ratio not greater than 5.0 to 1.0, and a fixed charge ratio not less than 1.25 to 1.0 as well as certain restrictions relating to the acquisition of new businesses without the prior approval of the lender. The Company did not meet its fixed charge covenant as of June 30, 2002 and was granted a waiver by DVI. The Company has been in compliance with all covenants since the third quarter of 2002. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s tangible net worth, leverage coverage ratio, and fixed charge ratio were $5,096, 1.86, and 1.69, respectively, which were calculated under the terms of the agreement. At December 31, 2002, the maximum amount available under the borrowing base formula was $6,882 and the interest rate was 5.25%. The amount outstanding on the Credit Line at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $1,896 and $2,094, respectively.

 

In March 2001, the Company entered into an agreement for an Equipment Facility (the “Lease Line”) of $750 to provide secured financing. Borrowings under the facility are repayable over 42 months. The interest rate is based upon the 31 month Treasury Note (“T-Note”) plus a spread and fluctuates with any change in the T-Note rate up until the time of payment commencement for each draw down. At December 31, 2002, the Company had utilized $678 of its Lease Line.

 

In August 2002, the Company entered into an agreement for secured equipment lease financing in the approximate amount of $1,600 with Somerset Capital Group, Ltd. (the “Somerset Line”). Borrowings under the

facility are repayable over 36 months. The lease-rate factors are based upon the 36-month Treasury Note yield ten days prior to payment commencement for each draw down. At the end of the lease term, the Company may either purchase the equipment for its fair market value, renew the lease on a year-to-year basis at its then fair market value, or return the equipment with no further obligation. The Company intends to utilize this lease line primarily to fund its equipment needs relating to the upgrade of its practice management system. At December 31, 2002, the Company had utilized $1,098 of its Somerset Line.

 

On March 24, 2003, the Company repurchased all of its outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), namely 1,416,667 shares, for (i) $2,700 in cash at closing, (ii) subordinated promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,700, and (iii) 1,608,247 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Notes will bear interest at 8% and will be payable in three equal principal installments, together with interest accrued thereon, 12, 15 and 18 months after the date of issuance. In the event of a default, the interest rate will increase to 15% until the default is cured. The Company expects that this transaction will cause a debt covenant violation with respect to the tangible net worth requirement. Accordingly, on March 18, 2003, DVI reduced the tangible net worth requirement from $3,000 to $2,500.

 

Until this repurchase by the Company of the Preferred Stock, holders of the Preferred Stock constituting a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, by giving notice to the Company, could have required the Company to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock at $6.00 per share plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued or declared but unpaid thereon, payable in four equal annual installments. Had the holders of the Preferred Stock put their shares for redemption at December 31, 2002, the Company would have been obligated to pay the Preferred Stockholders $2,663, $2,833, $3,003, and $3,173 on January 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively.

 

The Company expects that its principal use of funds in the foreseeable future, after the cash payment on March 24, 2003 of $2,700 to the holders of Preferred Stock, will be for the repayment of the Notes, and for acquisitions and the formation of joint ventures, working capital requirements, other debt repayments, and purchases of property and equipment. The Company believes that the funds available to it under the Credit Line, the Lease Line, and the Somerset Line, together with cash generated from operations, and other sources of funds it anticipates will be available to it will be adequate to meet these projected needs. However, the Company recognizes that the level of financial resources available to it is an important competitive factor and it will consider additional financing sources as appropriate, including raising additional equity capital on an on-going basis as market factors and its needs suggest, since additional resources may be necessary to fund its expansion efforts.

 

Inflation

 

The Company does not believe that inflation had a significant impact on its results of operations during the last two years. Further, inflation is not expected to adversely affect the Company in the future unless it increases substantially and the Company is unable to pass through the increases in its billings.

 

Seasonality

 

The Company is subject to the seasonal fluctuations that impact the various employers and their employees it serves. Historically, the Company has noticed these impacts in portions of the first and fourth quarters. Traditionally, revenues are lower during these periods since patient visits decrease due to the occurrence of plant closings, vacations, holidays, a reduction in new employee hirings, and inclement weather conditions. These activities also cause a decrease in drug and alcohol testings, medical monitoring services, and pre-employment examinations. Similar fluctuations occur during the summer months, but typically to a lesser degree than during the first and fourth quarters. The Company attempts to ameliorate the impact of these fluctuations through adjusting staff levels and ongoing efforts to add service lines with less seasonality.

Professional Liability Insurance Risk

 

The Company maintains professional liability insurance coverage both on the Company as an entity and in the name of its employed physicians, as well as an umbrella policy to supplement that coverage. In recent years, the Company, in line with the healthcare industry in general, has experienced significant increases in the cost of such insurance, and it is expected that these costs will continue to increase steeply at least through 2005. For its policy year commencing March 1, 2003, the cost to the Company’s for its professional liability and umbrella insurance increased to $644 from $329 in the prior policy year, despite the Company assuming more of the risk itself. Maintenance of an appropriate level of professional liability insurance coverage is critical to the Company in order to attract and retain competent clinical staff, the core of its business. While the Company currently believes that it will continue to be able to purchase such insurance, there can be no assurance that the cost of doing so will not have a serious negative effect on its operating results since the price it can charge for many of its services is dependent upon fee schedules set by the states in which it operates and changes in those schedules generally lag the increase in medical-related costs.

 

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company has considered the provisions of Financial Reporting Release No. 48, Disclosure of Accounting Policies for Derivative Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments, and Disclosure of Quantitative and Qualitative Information about Market Risk Inherent in Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments. The Company had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity-based instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments entered into for trading purposes at December 31, 2002. As described in the following paragraph, the Company believes that it currently has no material exposure to interest rate risks in its instruments entered into for other than trading purposes.

 

Interest rates

 

The Company’s balance sheet includes a revolving credit facility and lease lines which are subject to interest rate risk. The revolving credit loan is priced at a floating rate of interest while the interest rates on the lease lines are subject to market fluctuations until a draw down is effected. As a result, at any given time, a change in interest rates could result in either an increase or decrease in the Company’s interest expense. The Company performed sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2002 to assess the potential effect of a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates and concluded that near-term changes in interest rates should not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc:

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing on page 41 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations, its changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and redeemable stock, and its cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollar amounts in thousands)

 

 

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc (the Company), a leading national occupational healthcare provider, specializes in the prevention, treatment and management of work related injuries and illnesses as well as regulatory compliance services. The Company develops and operates occupational health centers and contracts with other healthcare providers to develop integrated occupational healthcare delivery systems. The Company typically operates the centers under management and submanagement agreements with professional corporations (Physician Practices) that practice exclusively through such centers. Additionally, the Company has entered into joint ventures and management agreements with health systems to provide management and related services to the centers and networks of providers established by the joint ventures or health systems.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its joint ventures and partnerships. All of the outstanding voting equity instruments of the Physician Practices are owned by shareholders nominated by the Company. Through options or employee agreements, the Company restricts transfer of Physician Practice ownership without its consent and can, at any time, require the nominated shareholder to transfer ownership to a Company designee. It is through this structure and through long-term management agreements entered into with the Physician Practices that the Company has an other than temporary controlling financial interest in the Physician Practices.

 

Most states in which the Company operates have laws and regulations that are often vague limiting the corporate practice of medicine and the sharing of fees between physicians and non-physicians. The Company believes it has structured all of its operations so that they comply with such laws and regulations; however, there can be no assurance that an enforcement agency could not find to the contrary or that future interpretations of such laws and regulations will not require structural and organizational modifications of the Company’s business.

 

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances of majority-owned joint ventures of $1,398 and $1,261 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These funds are utilized only for joint venture purposes unless paid as dividends to the joint venture participants.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. Medical equipment is depreciated over 10 years and furniture and office equipment is depreciated over 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation of assets under capital leases is included with depreciation.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was effective January 1, 2002.

 

47


Table of Contents

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH + REHABILITATION INC

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(dollar amounts in thousands)

 

SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that it may be impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, as determined based on the projected undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired, over the remaining amortization period, the Company’s carrying value of the goodwill will be reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows. No such impairment existed at December 31, 2002 or 2001. Other intangible assets include noncompete agreements and deferred financing costs which are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods of three to five years.

 

Joint Ventures

 

The Company has entered into joint ventures with health systems for which the Company owns varying percentages but at least a majority. Accordingly, these joint ventures are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The minority equity holders’ portions of the equity in the joint ventures are disclosed as an obligation on the balance sheets. The minority equity holders’ portions of the operating results are disclosed in the statements of operations as a nonoperating gain or loss. In connection with certain joint venture agreements, the minority equity holder has agreed to the funding of defined initial operating losses. These amounts are recorded as nonoperating gains in the period losses are incurred.

 

Contractual Settlements

 

The Company has entered into management contracts to manage the day-to-day operations of certain clinics. Generally, these contracts require a payment by the Company at the inception of the agreement, which is recorded as an intangible asset and amortized over the initial term of the contract. The contracts generally require the sharing of profits and losses at varying percentages throughout the contract term. The funding/payment of these contractual settlement amounts are recorded as nonoperating gains or losses.

 

The Company recorded $395 and $370 of funded operating losses and contractual settlements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, as nonoperating gains.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recorded at estimated net amounts to be received from employers, third-party payers and others for services rendered. The Company operates in certain states that regulate the amounts which the Company can charge for its services associated with work-related injuries and illnesses.

 

Professional Liability Coverage

 

The Company maintains entity professional liability insurance coverage on a claims-made basis in all states in which it has centers operating. The Company also maintains shared professional liability insurance coverage in the name of its employed physicians on a claims-made basis in all states except Massachusetts, which is principally on an occurrence basis. The Company has recorded liabilities for deductibles and for claims which may arise after expiration of the existing policies. The Company intends to renew its existing policies and is not aware of any reason it will not be able to do so. Nor is it aware of any claims that may result in a loss in excess of amounts covered by its existing insurance.

 

Stock Compensation Arrangements

 

The Company accounts for its stock compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and accordingly recognizes no compensation expense for the issue thereof.

Table of Contents

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH + REHABILITATION INC

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(dollar amounts in thousands)

 

 

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and will continue to account for its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and long-term debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of its financial instruments approximates fair value.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company follows SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. All of the Company’s efforts are devoted to occupational healthcare that are managed and reported in one segment. The Company derives all of its revenues from services provided in the United States.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These changes included the reclassification of a credit balance arising in connection with a long-term contract entered into by the Company in 2000 with a hospital system to manage its ambulatory care centers. The credit balance represents the net difference between payments made by the hospital system for working capital deficiencies during the first twelve months of operations and the discounted value of a non-interest bearing loan payable to the hospital system by the Company. The balance has been recorded as a deferred credit and is being amortized over the 20-year initial term of the contract.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill, and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. SFAS 142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. Adoption of SFAS 142 by the Company on January 1, 2002 resulted in an increase in net income of approximately $186 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to the year ended December 2001.

 

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. Companies are required to adopt SFAS 143 in their fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143 requires that obligations

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(dollar amounts in thousands)

 

associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recorded as a liability when these obligations are incurred, with the amount of the liability initially measured at fair value. Upon recognizing a liability, an entity must capitalize the cost by recognizing an increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset, accrete the liability over time to its present value each period, and depreciate the capitalized cost over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, the obligation is either settled for its recorded amount or a gain or loss is recognized. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 143 will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company adopted SFAS 144 for its fiscal year 2002. SFAS 144 changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale, revises the rules regarding reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business, and requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the periods in which the losses were incurred. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 144 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. Companies are required to adopt SFAS 145 in their fiscal year beginning after May 15, 2002. On matters with possible application to the Company, SFAS 145 rescinds, SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments of Debt, and SFAS No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. SFAS 145 amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate certain inconsistencies. It also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed circumstances. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 145 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, rather than recognizing a liability when an entity commits to an exit plan. The statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS 146 will be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 146 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under a liability approach. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes between deferred tax assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when, based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence, there is a likelihood that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

2.    Joint Ventures, Acquisitions and Contractual Settlements

 

In January 2002, the Company entered into an affiliation with a hospital system in New Jersey to operate its employee health and occupational health programs. In February 2002, the Company purchased two occupational health clinics located in New Jersey and transferred the hospital system’s occupational health programs to these centers. The combined purchase price of these entities was $610, of which $70 was in cash and the balance in the

form of a subordinated note payable in varying installments through February 2005. The Company recognized goodwill of $621 on these transactions. Effective July 1, 2002, the Company assumed the 40% ownership interest of its joint venture partner in its Rochester, NY center and recognized $193 in goodwill on the transaction. Effective August 1, 2002, the Company increased its ownership in its joint venture in the St. Louis, MO market to 96% from 80%, and recognized $90 in goodwill on the transaction.

 

In 2001, the Company purchased an occupational medicine business in St. Louis, MO for $77 and recognized goodwill of $57. The acquired revenue stream was incorporated into the Company’s existing Missouri centers.

 

In 2000, the Company entered into a long-term contract with a hospital system to manage its ambulatory care centers. The initial contract term is 20 years with automatic renewals for successive five year terms. In connection with the execution of the contract, the hospital system agreed to provide the working capital necessary to fund any working capital deficiencies (as defined) during the first twelve months of operations and the Company committed to pay the hospital system $2,000 in equal annual installments over a five year period. The note payable is noninterest-bearing and was initially recorded net of a discount of $558. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the net amount payable was $893 (note payable of $1,200 less a discount of $307) and $1,181 (note payable of $1,600 less a discount of $419), respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the net credit balance of the intangible asset was $561 and $592, respectively, representing the net difference between payments made by the hospital system for working capital deficiencies and the discounted value of the non-interest bearing loan payable to the hospital system. The Company is amortizing this net intangible balance over the 20-year initial term of the contract

 

All acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The results of operations of the acquired practices are included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.

 

In connection with certain acquisitions, the Company has entered into contractual arrangements whereby the selling parties are entitled to receive contingent cash consideration based upon the achievement of certain minimum operating results. Obligations related to these contingencies are reflected as additional goodwill in the period they become known.

 

The pro forma results of operations as if the 2002 and 2001 acquisitions and management contracts had occurred at the beginning of the preceding fiscal year are as follows (unaudited):

On December 15, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with an asset-based lender for a revolving line of credit (the “Credit Line”) of up to $7,250. In March 2003, the asset-based lender extended the term of the Credit Line to March 31, 2004. The Credit Line is collateralized by present and future assets of certain operations of the Company. The borrowing base consists of a certain percentage of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the agreement). Under the terms of the Credit Line, the Company pays a commitment fee of 0.5% of the unused portion of the Credit Line and certain additional fees. The interest rate under the Credit Line is prime plus 1% (5.25% and 5.75% as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively). At December 31, 2002, the maximum amount available under the lender’s borrowing base formula was $6,882, of which $1,896 was outstanding.

 

The Credit Line’s covenants include a quarterly tangible net worth requirement of $3,000 (defined as shareholders’ equity plus the Redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, subordinated debt, and minority interests less intangible assets, goodwill, deferred tax assets, leasehold improvements, deposits and certain prepayments), a leverage coverage ratio not greater than 5.0 to 1.0, and a fixed charge ratio not less than 1.25 to 1.0 as well as certain restrictions relating to the acquisition of new businesses without the prior approval of the asset-based lender. The Company did not meet its fixed charge covenant as of June 30, 2002 and was granted a waiver by the asset-based lender. The Company has been in compliance with all covenants since the third quarter of 2002. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s tangible net worth, leverage coverage ratio, and fixed charge ratio were $5,096, 1.86, and 1.69, respectively, which were calculated under the terms of the agreement.

 

As discussed in Note 10, on March 24, 2003, the Company repurchased all of its outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for (i) $2,700 in cash at closing, (ii) subordinated debt in the principal amount of $2,700, and (iii) 1,608,247 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company expects that this transaction will cause a debt covenant violation with respect to the tangible net worth requirement during 2003. Accordingly, on March 18, 2003, the asset-based lender reduced the tangible net worth requirement from $3,000 to $2,500.

 

In February 2002, the Company purchased two occupational health clinics located in New Jersey. The purchase price of these clinics was $610, of which $70 was paid in cash and the balance in the form of a subordinated note payable in varying installments through February 2005. At December 31, 2002, the amount payable was $440.

 

Aggregate maturities of obligations under long-term debt agreements are as follows:

Interest paid in 2002, 2001, and 2000 was $440, $509, and $509, respectively.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company expects that its principal use of funds in the foreseeable future, after the cash payment on March 24, 2003 of $2,700 to the holders of Preferred Stock, will be for the repayment of the Notes, and for acquisitions and the formation of joint ventures, working capital requirements, other debt repayments, and purchases of property and equipment. The Company believes that the funds available to it under the Credit Line and other lease lines, together with cash generated from operations, and other sources of funds it anticipates will be available to it will be adequate to meet these projected needs.

5.    Leases

 

The Company maintains operating leases for commercial property and office equipment. The commercial leases contain renewal options and require the Company to pay certain utilities and taxes over established base amounts. Operating lease expenses were $3,748, $3,511, and $2,702 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

 

In March 2001, the Company entered into an agreement for an Equipment Facility (the “Lease Line”) of $750 to provide secured financing. Borrowings under the facility are repayable over 42 months. The interest rate is based upon the 31 month Treasury Note (“T-Note”) plus a spread and fluctuates with any change in the T-Note rate up until the time of payment commencement for each draw down. At December 31, 2002, the Company had utilized $678 of its Lease Line. Interest rates range from 9.9% to 11.0%.

 

In August 2002, the Company entered into an agreement for secured equipment lease financing in the approximate amount of $1,600 (the “Secured Line”). Borrowings under the facility are repayable over 36 months. The lease-rate factors are based upon the 36-month Treasury Note yield ten days prior to payment commencement for each drawdown. At the end of the lease term, the Company may either purchase the equipment for its fair market value, renew the lease on a year-to-year basis at its then fair market value, or return the equipment with no further obligation. The Company intends to utilize this lease line primarily to fund its equipment needs relating to the upgrade of its practice management system. At December 31, 2002, the Company had utilized $1,098 of the Secured Line. Interest rates range from 3.2% to 9.6%.

 

The Company has also entered into other equipment lease arrangements with various lenders. Interest rates on these leases range from 11.3% to 18.3%.

In 2002, the Company’s effective tax rate of 60.1% differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes and the disproportionately greater impact that certain permanent adjustments had on the relatively low level of earnings. In 2001, the Company reported a negative effective tax rate as a result of changes in the valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

 

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were:

At December 31, 2001, the Company, having determined that its recent operating results and forecasted future income supported an assertion that ultimate realization of its net deferred tax assets was more likely than not, fully released the valuation allowance which had in prior years offset such deferred tax assets, and recorded a deferred tax benefit of $2,768.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $5,947 which begin to expire in 2009. Of this amount, $2,625 is subject to an annual limitation on usage under the change in stock ownership rules of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

7.    Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, which requires disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options and convertible securities while diluted earnings per share includes such amounts. For purposes of the net income (loss) per share calculation, the income (loss) available to common shareholders has been adjusted for accrued but unpaid dividends on the preferred stock ($680 in 2002, 2001, and 2000) and for preferred stock accretion of issuance costs ($0, $14, and $16 in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively). For 2002, the effect of options, convertible preferred stock and a convertible note payable is not considered since it would be antidilutive.

Preferred Stock

 

At December 31, 2002, 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value, were authorized, with 1,666,667 of such shares designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On November 6, 1996, the Company issued 1,416,667 shares of redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A) in a private placement at a purchase price of $6.00 per share. Each share of Series A was convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.

 

On March 24, 2003, the Company repurchased all of its outstanding Series A shares for (i) $2,700 in cash at closing, (ii) subordinated promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the principal amount of $2,700, and (iii) 1,608,247 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Notes will bear interest at 8% and will be payable in three equal

principal installments, together with interest accrued thereon, 12, 15 and 18 months after the date of issuance. In the event of a default, the interest rate will increase to 15% until the default is cured.

 

Commencing November 6, 1999, dividends became payable on the shares of Series A when and if declared by the Company’s board of directors and thereafter accrued at an annual cumulative rate of $.48 per share, subject to certain adjustments. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, $2,153 and $1,473, respectively, of dividends were accrued and included in the carrying value of the preferred stock.

Pro Forma Information for Stock-Based Compensation

 

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share, as if the Company had used the fair value method of SFAS 123 to account for stock options issued under its Plans, is presented below. The fair value of stock activity under these plans was estimated at the date of grant using the minimum value method for options granted prior to 1996, the date of the Company’s merger, and the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted in and subsequent to 1996. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the fair value for 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively: a risk-free interest rate of 3.4% in 2002, 4.6% in 2001, and 6.2% in 2000; an expected dividend yield of 0% each year; an average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the options of 1.219 in 2002, 0.938 in 2001, and 2.460 in 2000; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of five to six years.

 

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of options is amortized to expense over the related vesting period. Pro forma information is as follows:

Retirement Plan

 

The Company has a qualified 401(k) plan for all employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company contributes a stipulated percentage based on employee contributions. Company contributions to the 401(k) plan were $294, $278, and $228 during 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

 

9.    Restructuring Charges

 

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company began to implement a restructuring plan to close certain centers that were either outside of the Company’s core occupational health focus or were deemed not capable of achieving significant profitability due to specific market factors. As a result of the restructuring plan and other actions, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $2,262 during the fourth quarter of 1999. The restructuring plan also included the streamlining of certain other remaining operations and the elimination or combining of various other positions within the Company.

(dollar amounts in thousands)

 

 

The total number of employees terminated in conjunction with the restructuring plan was 64, all of whom terminated employment with the Company by the end of the first quarter of 2000. The employees affected by the restructuring plan included medical, physical therapy and administrative staff at the closed centers.

 

The restructuring charges primarily included severance and other expenses related to the terminations, fixed asset disposals and goodwill impairments for centers that were closed, contractual expenses including lease abandonment costs, receivable write-downs related to accounts receivable at centers that were deemed to be uncollectible, and miscellaneous related charges. The lease abandonment charge included an estimate of sublet income.

 

During 2001 and 2000, the Company negotiated buyout terms for some or all of the space at certain of the closed centers. At December 31, 2002, the Company’s obligation for future lease payments and other charges relating to the closed centers was $22.

 

The initial charge recognized at December 31, 1999 and the status of the related accrued liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 1999, the revenues at the closed centers were $3,492 and the net operating losses were $565.

 

10.    Subsequent Events

 

Effective January 31, 2003, the Company terminated a long-term management contract in exchange for transfer of title to the Company of four occupational health centers which the Company had previously managed. The Company agreed to pay $25 for its share of the centers’ assets. There will be a final settlement between the parties as of June 30, 2003 after the Company has collected all amounts owed to, and paid all amounts owed by, the network as of the termination date.

 

On March 24, 2003, the Company repurchased all of its outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, namely 1,416,667 shares, for (i) $2,700 in cash at closing, (ii) subordinated promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the principal amount of $2,700, and (iii) 1,608,247 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Notes will bear interest at 8% and will be payable in three equal principal installments, together with interest accrued thereon, 12, 15 and 18 months after the date of issuance. In the event of a default, the interest rate will increase to 15% until the default is cured.
