Harborside Healthcare Corporation, through its subsidiaries, (on a consolidated basis, the “Company” or “Harborside”) provides high quality long-term care, subacute care and other specialty medical services in four principal geographic regions: the Southeast (Florida), the Midwest (Ohio and Indiana), New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island), and the Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey and Maryland). Within these regions, as of June 30, 2002, the Company operated 55 long-term care facilities (18 owned, 36 leased and one managed) with a total of 6,761 licensed beds. The Company accounts for its investment in one 75% owned facility using the equity method of accounting.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2002, the results of its operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this report.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those concerning Management’s expectations regarding future financial performance and future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risk and uncertainties, including those described herein and included under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.
Harborside Healthcare Corporation, through its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of high-quality long-term care, subacute care and other specialty medical services in the eastern United States. The Company has focused on establishing strong local market positions with high-quality facilities in four principal geographic regions: the Southeast (Florida), the Midwest (Ohio and Indiana), New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island) and the Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey and Maryland). As of June 30, 2002, the Company operated 55 facilities (18 owned, 36 leased and one managed) with a total of 6,761 licensed beds. As described in Note A to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, the Company accounts for its investment in one of its owned facilities using the equity method of accounting. The Company provides a broad continuum of medical services including: (i) traditional skilled nursing care and (ii) specialty medical services, including a variety of subacute care programs such as orthopedic rehabilitation, CVA/stroke care, cardiac recovery, pulmonary rehabilitation and wound care, as well as distinct programs for the provision of care to Alzheimer’s and hospice patients. As part of its subacute services, the Company provides physical, occupational and speech rehabilitation therapy services at Company-operated facilities.
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company are based on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere within this report, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. We rely on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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.
Net patient service revenues to be reimbursed by contracts with third-party payors, primarily the Medicare and Medicaid programs, are recorded at the amount estimated to be realized under these contractual arrangements. The Company separately estimates revenues due from each third-party with which it has a contractual arrangement and records anticipated settlements with these parties in the contractual period during which services were rendered. The amounts actually reimbursable under Medicare and Medicaid are determined by filing cost reports, which are then audited and generally retroactively adjusted by the payor. Legislative changes to state or Federal reimbursement systems may also retroactively affect recorded revenues. Changes in estimated revenues due in connection with Medicare and Medicaid may be recorded by the Company subsequent to the year of origination and prior to final settlement based on improved estimates. Such adjustments and final settlements with third-party payors, which could materially and adversely affect the Company, are reflected in operations at the time of the adjustment or settlement.
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from third party payors (the Medicare and Medicaid programs, other governmental programs, 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. We estimate the provision for doubtful accounts based on a number of factors including payor 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.
The Company reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment 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 a number of 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 first quarter of 2001, the Company recognized an adjustment to the carrying value of its deferred financing costs in connection with an amendment to the Company’s Credit Facility. During the first half of 2001, the Company recognized adjustments to the carrying value of deferred financing costs related to its Credit Facility and its subordinated debt and preferred stock issuances. This adjustment was due to the Company's completion of a restructuring agreement as further explained in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this report.
The Company retains a significant amount of self-insurance risk for its employee health benefits and workers compensation programs, and beginning on September 1, 2001, its general liability and professional liability risks. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance such that the Company’s liability for health insurance and workers’ compensation losses is limited. At the end of each accounting period, the Company records an accrued expense for (a) estimated health benefit claims incurred but not reported and (b) estimated workers’ compensation claims incurred but not reported. The Company estimates these accruals based on a number of factors including historical experience, industry trends, recent claims history, programs implemented to control claims, and actuarial reports. These accruals are by necessity based on estimates and are subject to ongoing revision as conditions change and as new data presents itself. Adjustments to estimated liabilities are recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company implemented a general and professional liability insurance program which, for the period from September 1, 1998 to August 31, 2001, limited the Company’s self-retention risk for this program to a maximum of $25,000 per year. The long-term care industry has seen the cost of maintaining traditional professional liability insurance increase significantly
over the past two years, especially in the State of Florida. Most insurance companies are unwilling to underwrite new professional liability policies in the State of Florida. In May 2001, tort reform legislation was enacted in Florida. This legislation provides caps on punitive damages, limits to add-on legal fees, stricter rules of evidence and a shorter statute of limitations period. Given the tremendous increase in professional liability premiums and the tort reform legislation that was enacted in the State of Florida in May 2001, the Company concluded that it would be more cost effective to assume a higher level of retained risk for professional liability claims. As a result, the Company implemented a new general and professional liability program, effective September 1, 2001, which resulted in the Company maintaining an unaggregated self-insured retention of $2,000,000 per occurrence for locations outside of Florida and completely retaining risk at the Florida facilities. The Company maintains an accrual for incurred but not reported claims. The amount of the accrual is determined through an estimation process that uses information from both the Company’s records as well as industry data. The Company uses an independent actuary to help estimate the required general and professional liability accrual. Factors reviewed include the frequency of expected claims, the average cost per claim, emerging industry trends, changes in regulatory environment (such as the recently enacted Florida tort reform legislation) and the expected effect of various operational and risk management initiatives. The Company will continue to evaluate its insurance accrual requirements on a quarterly basis. Required adjustments to the Company’s general and professional liability accrual will be recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs.
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 that the adoption of SFAS 143 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(2)"Patient days" includes billed bed days for the facilities operated by the
Company excluding billed bed days of the managed facility and the facility
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
(3) "Average occupancy rate" is computed by dividing the number of billed bed
days by the total number of available licensed bed days during each of the
periods indicated. This calculation includes all facilities operated by the
Company excluding the managed facility.
(4) "Quality mix" consists of the percentage of the Company's total net
revenues that are derived from sources other than state Medicaid programs.
The Company’s total net revenues include net patient service revenues and other revenues. The Company derives its net patient service revenues primarily from private pay sources, the federal Medicare program for certain elderly and disabled patients, and state Medicaid programs for indigent patients. Private net patient service revenues are recorded at established per diem billing rates. Net patient service revenues to be reimbursed under contracts with third-party payors, primarily the Medicare and Medicaid programs, are recorded at amounts estimated to be realized under these contractual arrangements.
The Company’s facility operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and employee benefits related to nursing, rehabilitation therapy services, housekeeping and dietary services provided to patients, as well as maintenance and administration of the facilities. Other significant facility operating expenses include the cost of medical and pharmacy supplies, food, utilities, insurance and taxes. The Company’s general and administrative expenses include costs associated with its regional and corporate operations.
Total Net Revenues. Total net revenues increased by $14,884,000 or 17.3%, from $86,127,000 in the second quarter of 2001 to $101,011,000 in the second quarter of 2002. The increase in total revenues, from 2001 to 2002, was primarily due to the operation of five additional facilities. The Company began operating a leased skilled nursing facility in Marietta, Ohio on November 1, 2001, and four leased skilled nursing facilities in Massachusetts on March 1, 2002. Approximately, $8,279,000 of the increase in revenues from 2001 to 2002 resulted from the operation of these five new facilities. The remainder of the revenue increase was attributable to higher average revenues per patient day at the Company’s “same store” facilities. The average occupancy rate at all of the Company’s facilities decreased from 89.1% during the second quarter of 2001 to 87.7% during the second quarter of 2002; however, average net patient service revenues (including ancillary services) per patient day at the Company’s “same store” facilities increased from $178 in the second quarter of 2001 to $194 in the second quarter of 2002, or approximately 9%. The Company’s “same store” average Medicare Part A per diem rate increased from $342 per Medicare patient day in the second quarter of 2001 to $350 per Medicare patient day in the second quarter of 2002, while the Company’s “same store” average per diem Medicaid rate increased from $131 in the second quarter of 2001 to $143 in the second quarter of 2002. The Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (“BBRA”) temporarily increased the Federal per diem Medicare Part A rates by 20% for fifteen resource utilization groups (“RUG”) categories (three rehabilitative therapy RUG categories, twelve non-rehabilitative RUG categories) beginning on April 1, 2000. These increased rates will stay in effect until the date on which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) implements a revised prospective payment system (“PPS”) that more accurately reimburses the costs of caring for medically complex patients. The BBRA also provided for a four percent temporary increase in the Federal per diem Medicare Part A rates for all RUG categories for a two-year period beginning October 1, 2000. In December 2000, the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Child Health Insurance Program Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (“BIPA”) was enacted. BIPA temporarily increased the existing nursing rate component of the Federal per diem Medicare Part A rate, for each RUG category, by 16.66% effective April 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002. In addition, BIPA eliminated the 20% add-ons (provided by the BBRA) for the three rehabilitative therapy RUG categories and substituted 6.7% add-ons for all fourteen rehabilitative therapy RUG categories.
The Company’s quality mix of private, Medicare and insurance revenues was 54.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 54.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Facility Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses increased by $13,950,000 or 20.2%, from $69,086,000 in the second quarter of 2001 to $83,036,000 in the second quarter of 2002. Of this increase, $7,361,000 resulted from the operation of five new facilities. The increase in operating expenses in 2002 at “same store” facilities was primarily the result of higher expenditures for employee wages and benefit costs. Consistent with other long-term care providers, the Company continues to find it difficult to recruit and retain employees, most notably nursing personnel. As a result of these difficulties, the Company has been forced to rely more heavily on temporary nursing personnel.
General and Administrative; Service Charges Paid to Former Affiliate. General and administrative expenses increased by $9,000, from $5,057,000 in the second quarter of 2001 to $5,066,000 in the second quarter of 2002. The Company reimburses a former affiliate for data processing services provided to the Company. During the second quarter of 2001, such reimbursements totaled $276,000 compared to $192,000 during the second quarter of 2002.
Amortization of Prepaid Management Fees. Amortization of prepaid management fees was $300,000 during the second quarter of 2001 and the second quarter of 2002.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased from $2,128,000 in the second quarter of 2001 to $2,357,000 in the second quarter of 2002.
Facility Rent. Facility rent expense increased by $576,000 from $7,221,000 in the second quarter of 2001 to $7,797,000 in the second quarter of 2002. Most of the increase in rent expense was associated with the leasing of the new Ohio facility and the four new Massachusetts facilities.
Financial Restructuring Costs. In connection with the Financial Restructuring completed in the second quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of approximately $6.9 million. The charge resulted from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, related to the issuance of the Discount Notes, and the recognition of various investment advisory, legal and other fees associated with this event.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net, decreased from $3,054,000 in the second quarter of 2001 to $1,884,000 in the second quarter of 2002. This decrease is primarily the result of the restructuring of the Company’s Discount Notes completed in May 2001. The restructuring of the Discount Notes reduced both the carrying amount of the debt and its effective interest rate.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense (all relating to state income taxes) was $60,000 for the second quarter of 2002.
Net Loss. The Company incurred a net loss of $7,734,000 during the second quarter of 2001 compared to net income of $397,000 during the second quarter of 2002.
Total Net Revenues. Total net revenues increased by $27,309,000 or 16.2%, from $168,213,000 in the first half of 2001 to $195,522,000 in the first half of 2002. The increase in total revenues, from 2001 to 2002, was primarily the result of higher average revenues per patient day at the Company’s “same store” facilities. The Company began operating a leased skilled nursing facility in Marietta, Ohio on November 1, 2001, and four leased skilled nursing facilities on March 1, 2002. Approximately, $12,471,000 of the increase in revenues from 2001 to 2002 resulted from the operation of these five new facilities. The remainder of the revenue increase was attributable to the Company’s “same store” facilities. The average occupancy rate at all of the Company’s facilities decreased from 89.1% during the first half of 2001 to 87.9% during the first half of 2002; however, average net patient service revenues (including ancillary services) per patient day at the Company’s “same store” facilities increased from $175 in the first half of 2001 to $193 in the first half of 2002, or approximately 10%. The Company’s “same store” average Medicare Part A per diem rate increased from $334 per Medicare patient day in the first half of 2001 to $347 per Medicare patient day in the first half of 2002, while the Company’s “same store” average per diem Medicaid rate increased from $131 in the first half of 2001 to $142 in the first half of 2002. The Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (“BBRA”) temporarily increased the Federal per diem Medicare Part A rates by 20% for fifteen resource utilization groups (“RUG”) categories (three rehabilitative therapy RUG categories, twelve non-rehabilitative RUG categories) beginning on April 1, 2000. These increased rates will stay in effect until the date on which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) implements a revised prospective payment system (“PPS”) that more accurately reimburses the costs of caring for medically complex patients. The BBRA also provided for a four percent temporary increase in the Federal per diem Medicare Part A rates for all RUG categories for a two-year period beginning October 1, 2000. In December 2000, the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Child Health Insurance Program Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (“BIPA”) was enacted. BIPA temporarily increased the existing nursing rate component of the Federal per diem Medicare Part A rate, for each RUG category, by 16.66% effective April 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002. In addition, BIPA eliminated the 20% add-ons (provided by the BBRA) for the three rehabilitative therapy RUG categories and substituted 6.7% add-ons for all fourteen rehabilitative therapy RUG categories.
Primarily as the result of the Medicare rate increases implemented on April 1, 2001, the Company’s “same store” average Medicare Part A payment rate increased from $334 per Medicare patient day during the first half of 2001 to $347 per Medicare patient day during the first half of 2002. The Company’s quality mix of private, Medicare and insurance revenues was 53.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 54.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Facility Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses increased by $24,129,000 or 17.7%, from $136,175,000 in the first half of 2001 to $160,304,000 in the first half of 2002. Of this increase, $11,081,000 resulted from the operation of five new facilities. The overall increase in operating expenses in 2002 was primarily the result of higher expenditures for employee wages and benefit costs. Consistent with other long-term care providers, the Company continues to find it difficult to recruit and retain employees, most notably nursing personnel. As a result of these difficulties, the Company has been forced to rely more heavily on temporary nursing personnel.
General and Administrative; Service Charges Paid to Former Affiliate. General and administrative expenses increased by $369,000, from $9,619,000 in the first half of 2001 to $9,988,000 in the first half of 2002. The Company reimburses a former affiliate for data processing services provided to the Company. During the first half of 2001, such reimbursements totaled $551,000 compared to $384,000 during the first half of 2002.
Amortization of Prepaid Management Fees. Amortization of prepaid management fees was $600,000 during the first half of 2001 and the first half of 2002.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased from $4,431,000 in the first half of 2001 to $4,655,000 in the first half of 2002.
Facility Rent. Facility rent expense increased by $860,000 from $14,374,000 in the first half of 2001 to $15,234,000 in the first half of 2002. Most of the increase in rent expense was associated with the leasing of the new Ohio facility and the four new Massachusetts facilities.
Financial Restructuring Costs. In connection with the amendment to the Company’s bank credit facility and the Financial Restructuring completed in the first half of 2001, the Company recorded non-recurring charges totaling approximately $9.1 million. The charges resulted from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, related to obtaining the Company’s bank credit facility and issuing its Discount Notes, and the recognition of various investment advisory, legal and other fees associated with completing the amendment to the bank credit facility and the Financial Restructuring.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net, decreased from $7,677,000 in the first half of 2001 to $3,815,000 in the first half of 2002. This decrease is primarily the result of the restructuring of the Company’s Discount Notes completed in May 2001. The restructuring of the Discount Notes reduced both the carrying amount of the debt and its effective interest rate.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense (all relating to state income taxes) was $120,000 for the first half of 2002.
Net Income (loss). The Company incurred a net loss of $14,170,000 during the first half of 2001 compared to net income of $338,000 during the first half of 2002.
The Company’s primary cash needs are for acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital, debt service and general corporate purposes. The Company has historically financed these requirements primarily through a combination of internally generated cash flow, mortgage financing and operating leases, in addition to funds borrowed under a credit facility. The Company’s existing leased facilities are leased from either the owner of the facilities, from an investment entity that has purchased the facilities from the owner, or through synthetic lease borrowings. The Company’s existing facility leases generally require it to make monthly lease payments and pay all property operating costs. The Company generally negotiates leases that provide for extensions beyond the initial lease term and an option to purchase the leased facility. In some cases, the option to purchase the leased facility is at a price based on the fair market value of the facility at the time the option is exercised. In other cases, the lease for the facility sets forth a fixed purchase option price which the Company believes is equal to the fair market value of the facility at the inception date of such lease, thus allowing the Company to realize the value appreciation of the facility while maintaining financial flexibility.
In connection with the leveraged recapitalization completed on August 11, 1998, the Company obtained gross proceeds of $99.5 million through the issuance of 11% Senior Subordinated
Discount Notes (the “Discount Notes”) due 2008 and $40 million through the issuance of 13.5% Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) mandatorily redeemable in 2010. Interest on the Discount Notes was to accrete at 11% per annum until August 1, 2003 and then become payable in cash, semi-annually in arrears, beginning on February 1, 2004. Dividends on the Preferred Stock were payable, at the option of the Company, in additional shares of the Preferred Stock until August 1, 2003. After that date dividends were required to be paid in cash. In August 1998, the Company also entered into a new $250 million collateralized credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The terms of the Credit Facility originally provided up to $75 million on a revolving credit basis plus an additional $175 million initially funded on a revolving basis that would convert to a term loan on an annual basis on each anniversary of the closing. During the first four years of the facility, any or all of the full $250 million of availability under the Credit Facility could be used for synthetic lease financings. Proceeds of loans under the facility can be used for acquisitions, working capital purposes, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Interest is based on either LIBOR or prime rates of interest (plus applicable margins determined by the Company’s leverage ratio) at the election of the Company. The Credit Facility contains various financial and other restrictive covenants and limits aggregate borrowings under the Credit Facility to a predetermined multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company determined that its anticipated financial results for that quarter would cause the Company to be out of compliance with certain financial covenants of the Credit Facility. The Company’s reduced level of EBITDA during the first quarter of 1999 was attributable to transitional difficulties associated with the implementation of the new Medicare prospective payment system which became effective at all of the Company’s facilities on January 1, 1999. Such transitional difficulties resulted in lower than expected revenues, primarily due to fewer than expected Medicare patient days, lower Medicare Part A rates, reduced revenues from therapy services provided to non-affiliated long-term care centers and a reduction in revenues from the provision of Medicare Part B services at the Company’s own facilities. In response, during the first quarter of 1999, the Company initiated additional facility-based training directed towards the documentation requirements of the revised Medicare reimbursement system. The Company also continued to refine its admission and assessment protocols in order to increase patient admissions and introduced a series of targeted initiatives to lower operating expenses. Such initiatives included wage and staffing reductions (primarily related to the delivery of rehabilitative therapy services and indirect nursing support), renegotiation of vendor contracts and ongoing efforts to reduce the Company’s reliance on outside nurse agency personnel. All of the staffing reductions were implemented, on or prior to, April 1, 1999. Effective March 30, 1999, the Company obtained an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Facility which limited borrowings under the Credit Facility to an aggregate of $58,500,000 (exclusive of undrawn letters of credit outstanding as of March 30, 1999) and which modified certain financial covenants. Beginning with the first quarter of 1999, the First Amendment replaced the original financial covenants with one new financial covenant, a minimum cumulative amount of EBITDA. The original financial covenants provided maximum ratios of total indebtedness to EBITDA and senior indebtedness to EBITDA, and a minimum debt service coverage ratio. The First Amendment required minimum amounts of EBITDA, measured quarterly, but calculated on a rolling twelve-month basis, through December 31, 2000. As long as the Company met or exceeded the required minimum cumulative amounts of EBITDA, the Company could access the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, subject to the reduced amount of availability.
Until September 27, 2000, the Company, through a wholly-owned limited partnership, leased and operated four facilities in Ohio (the “Cleveland Facilities”) which it acquired in 1996 through capital leases. Each of the four leases contained an option to purchase the facility beginning July 1, 2001 and each lease was guaranteed by the Company. The guaranty provided that failure by the Company to have a specified minimum consolidated net worth at the end of any two consecutive quarters would be an event of default under the guaranty, which in turn would be an event of default under each lease. During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a $5.7 million restructuring charge to terminate its contracts to provide rehabilitation therapy services to non-affiliated long-term care facilities. As a result of this restructuring charge, the Company’s consolidated net worth as of September 30, 1999 (as calculated for purposes of this requirement) had fallen below the required level. The Company anticipated that its net worth would continue to be below the required level at December 31, 1999, which would have resulted in an event of default under each of these leases with the Company potentially facing the loss of these operations. Such default could also have triggered cross-defaults under the Company’s other lease and debt obligations. In December 1999, the Company paid $5 million to its landlord and obtained an option (the “New Option”) to acquire the Cleveland Facilities. The Company borrowed $5 million from an affiliate of Investcorp S.A. to fund this payment. The New Option allowed the Company to exercise its right to purchase the Cleveland Facilities beginning as of the date of the New Option, required the Company to complete the acquisition prior to December 31, 2000 and provided a waiver of the net worth covenant through that date. The Company exercised the New Option on June 30, 2000 and on September 27, 2000 the Company terminated the Cleveland Facilities capital leases and assigned its purchase rights for these facilities to an investment entity (organized by Investcorp S.A.) for $5.0 million, which acquired the Cleveland Facilities on September 27, 2000. On that date, the Company entered into new operating leases for each of the Cleveland Facilities with combined annual rent expense of approximately $5.9 million. The Company also repaid the $5.0 million loan from an affiliate of Investcorp S.A. As a result of the capital lease termination, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $8.9 million. The principal components of this charge included the write-off of capital leased assets in excess of the related capital lease obligation ($5.7 million) and the write-off of deferred financing costs ($1.8 million) originally incurred in obtaining the Company’s Credit Facility. In order to complete the Cleveland Facility leasing transaction, the Company was required to obtain the release of certain collateral held by the bank group that provides the Credit Facility. The Company obtained the release of the collateral as part of an amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Facility, which also resulted in a permanent reduction of the Company’s maximum borrowings under the Credit Facility from $250 million to $150 million and an increase in the Company’s borrowing rate. As a result of the permanent reduction in funds available through the Credit Facility, the Company was required to write off a proportionate amount of the deferred financing costs incurred when the Credit Facility was originally obtained.
On March 28, 2001, the Company obtained an additional amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Facility. The Third Amendment resulted in a permanent reduction of the Company’s maximum borrowings under the Credit Facility from $150 million to $60 million, revised certain financial covenants, changed the maturity date of the Credit Facility to March 31, 2004 and increased the Company’s borrowing rate. The Third Amendment also requires the Company to repay, on an annual basis, the greater of $5.0 million or 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow (as defined). As a result of the permanent reduction in funds available through the Credit Facility, during the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company was required to write off approximately $2.2 million of deferred financing costs incurred when the Credit facility was originally obtained.
In March 2001, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”) with Investcorp S.A. and the holders of more than a majority in interest of the Company’s Discount Notes and Preferred Stock for purposes of implementing a restructuring of the Discount Notes and Preferred Stock. The Restructuring Agreement contemplated that the Company would offer to exchange for each $1,000 amount at maturity of outstanding Discount Notes a combination of the following: (1) 0.5899118 of a new 12% Senior Subordinated Discount Note due 2007 (the “New Notes”) each having a principal amount at maturity equal to $1,000 and an original issue price of $685.67 (assuming that the New Notes were issued on May 4, 2001), (2) $88.2353 in cash and (3) common stock purchase warrants for approximately 10.9 shares of its Class A Common Stock. The Company would also offer to exchange common stock purchase warrants for approximately 10.7 shares of its Class A Common Stock for each $1,000 liquidation preference of Preferred Stock (based on the aggregate liquidation preference to be outstanding on May 1, 2001) plus any dividends accrued on such
Preferred Stock after May 1, 2001. In conjunction with the restructuring proposal, the Company would solicit consents from holders of outstanding Discount Notes and Preferred Stock to amendments to the Indenture governing the Discount Notes and to the Certificate of Designation governing the Preferred Stock that would eliminate or modify certain restrictive covenants and other provisions contained in the Indenture and the Certificate of Designation and would substantially eliminate the preferences of the Preferred Stock, including the reduction of the liquidation preference from $1,000 to $0.01 per share and the elimination of the right of holders to be paid dividends on shares of Preferred Stock. Also, the Company would issue to Investcorp S.A. (or one or more of its affiliates or designees) up to 15,000 shares of a new series of 13% convertible exchangeable preferred stock (the “New Preferred Stock”) and 1,854,422 common stock purchase warrants for a total purchase price of up to $15,000,000.
On April 6, 2001, the Company initiated the exchange offer and consent solicitation contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement. On May 10, 2001, the Company completed the exchange offer and consent solicitation, thereby implementing each of the elements of the Restructuring Agreement. All of the outstanding Discount Notes and 99.96% of the shares of Preferred Stock were tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer. As a result of the exchange, (1) the Company had an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $100,276,000 of New Notes outstanding and an aggregate liquidation preference of $15,000,000 (as of May 10, 2001) of New Preferred Stock outstanding, (2) warrants were issued to holders of Discount Notes, to holders of Preferred Stock, and to Investcorp S.A. representing the right to purchase an aggregate of approximately 15%, 5% and 15%, respectively, of the total number of shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis (excluding shares issuable upon conversion of the New Preferred Stock, each share of which will initially be convertible into 150 shares of Class A Common Stock, and (3) the Company paid $15,000,000 in cash as partial consideration for the tendered Discount Notes.
The reduction in the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock was completed on May 10, 2001, as contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement, the carrying amount of the Preferred Stock was reduced from $57,595,000 to $576 and the amount of the reduction, net of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the Preferred Stock (approximately $1,011,000 at May 10, 2001), was directly transferred to the Company’s Accumulated Deficit account. With the exchange of the New Notes for the Discount Notes (the “Note Exchange”), the carrying value of the accreted principal of the Discount Notes was reduced to $68,890,000, and the amount of the reduction, net of the aggregate cash payment of $15,000,000, was directly transferred to the Company’s Long-term Accrued Interest account. Subsequent to their issuance, the carrying amount of the New Notes increases as the result of accretion and results in a corresponding decrease in the carrying amount of Long-term Accrued Interest. Interest expense on the New Notes is recognized such that a constant effective interest rate is applied to the aggregate carrying amount of the New Notes and Long-term Accrued Interest for all periods between the issuance date and the maturity date of the New Notes.
In connection with the Third Amendment to the Credit Facility and the implementation of the Restructuring Agreement, the Company incurred a non-recurring charge of $9,045,000. The charge resulted from the write-off of approximately $1,500,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs incurred when the Credit Facility was obtained, the write-off of approximately $3,400,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the Discount Notes, and the recognition of various investment advisory, legal and other fees associated with these events approximating $4,100,000.
The New Notes were issued at a discount and interest on the New Notes accretes until August 1, 2004. Cash interest payments will be paid semi-annually in arrears beginning on February 1, 2005 based on the fully accreted value of the New Notes and a 12% cash interest payment rate. The New Notes mature on August 1, 2007. The New Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable on February 1, 2008. The holders of the New Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends quarterly in arrears beginning August 1, 2001 and payable in additional shares of New Preferred Stock. Warrants to purchase a total of 4,326,641 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share were issued on May 10, 2001.
As of June 30, 2002, total borrowings under the Credit Facility were $52,483,000 and consisted of $23,250,000 of revolver loans, $13,700,000 of synthetic lease obligations and $15,533,000 of undrawn letters of credit. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had approximately $17,000 of funding available under the Credit Facility (as amended by the Third Amendment) and was not in default of the financial covenants of the Credit Facility as amended by the Third Amendment.
The Company’s operating activities during the first half of 2001 provided net cash of $9,465,000 as compared to providing net cash of $9,963,000 during the first half of 2002.
Net cash used by investing activities was $6,228,000 during the first half of 2001 as compared to $4,425,000 used during the first half of 2002. The primary use of cash for investing purposes during the first half of 2001 and 2002 was to fund additions of property and equipment associated with the maintenance of the Company’s long-term care facilities.
Net cash used by financing activities was $2,021,000 during the first half of 2001 as compared to $2,135,000 during the first half of 2002.
As of June 30, 2002, in addition to the Discount Notes (which had an accreted balance of $78,679,000), the Company had two mortgage loans outstanding totaling $17,044,000 and $23,250,000 in advances on its Credit Facility. One mortgage loan had an outstanding principal balance of $15,552,000 of which $15,140,000 is due at maturity in 2004. This loan bears interest at an annual rate of 10.65% plus additional interest equal to 0.3% of the difference between the operating revenues of the four mortgaged facilities in each applicable year and operating revenues during the twelve-month base period. The Company’s other mortgage loan, which encumbers a single facility, had an outstanding principal balance of $1,492,000 at June 30, 2002, of which $1,338,000 is due in 2010.
Harborside expects that its capital expenditures for 2002, excluding acquisitions of new long-term care facilities, will aggregate approximately $7,000,000. Harborside’s expected capital expenditures will relate to maintenance capital expenditures, systems enhancements, special construction projects and other capital improvements. Harborside expects that its future facility acquisitions will be financed primarily through operating leases or assumed debt. Harborside may be required to obtain additional equity financing to finance any significant acquisitions in the future, to refinance the New Notes when they mature on August 1, 2007 or to refinance the New Preferred Stock when it becomes mandatorily redeemable on February 1, 2008. The Company continues to evaluate additional sources of capital funding to support its acquisition program.
The Company owns a 75% interest in a partnership that owns one facility. The Company accounts for its investment in this partnership using the equity method. The Company has guaranteed a loan of approximately $5,600,000 made to this partnership to refinance a loan that funded the construction of the facility and provided working capital. The loan is also collateralized by additional collateral pledged by the non-affiliated partner. The loan matures on September 15, 2002 and the Company expects to refinance the loan on comparable terms prior to the
maturity date. The partnership agreement states that each partner will contribute an amount in respect of any liability incurred by a partner in connection with a guarantee of the partnership’s debt, so that partners each bear their proportionate share of any liability based on their percentage ownership of the partnership.
The Company is highly leveraged, which makes it vulnerable to changes in general economic conditions. The Company’s ability to repay or refinance its debt will depend on, among other things, financial, business, market, competitive and other conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The Company believes that, taken together, its current cash balances, internally generated cash flow and availability under its credit facilities should result in the Company having adequate cash resources to meet its debt service and other financial obligations for at least the next twelve months.
The following table provides information about the Company's contractual
obligations as of June 30, 2002, excluding current liabilities except for the
current portion of long-term debt.

============= ============ =========== =========== =============
(1) The operating lease obligation amounts include the annual facility rent payments for two long-term care facilities whose acquisitions were financed by the Company through the synthetic leasing capability of its Credit Facility. The Company’s annual rent obligations under these synthetic leases reflect payment of interest only on the lessor’s $13,700,000 of underlying debt obligations. At the maturity of the leases, the Company is obligated to either purchase the facilities and refinance the $13,700,000 of underlying debt or assist the lessor in remarketing the facilities and reimburse the lessor if the fair market value of the facilities at that time is less than the amount of the underlying debt obligation.
The Company issued $15,000,000 of New Preferred Stock on May 10, 2001. As long as the Company’s New Notes remain outstanding, the New Preferred Stock is entitled to dividends at a rate of 13% per annum compounded quarterly and payable in additional shares of New Preferred Stock. The New Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable on February 1, 2008.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company implemented a general and professional liability insurance program that, for the period from September 1, 1998 to August 31, 2001, limited the Company’s self-retention risk for this program to a maximum of $25,000 per year. The long-term care industry has seen the cost of maintaining traditional professional liability insurance increase significantly over the past two years, especially in the State of Florida. Most insurance companies are unwilling to underwrite new professional liability policies in the State of Florida. In May 2001, tort reform legislation was enacted in Florida. This legislation provides caps on punitive damages, limits to add-on legal fees, stricter rules of evidence and a shorter statute of limitations period. Given the tremendous increase in professional liability premiums and the tort reform legislation that was enacted in the State of Florida in May 2001, the Company concluded that it would be more cost effective to assume a higher level of retained risk for professional liability claims. As a result, the Company implemented a new general and professional liability program, effective September 1, 2001, which resulted in the Company maintaining an unaggregated self-insured retention of $2,000,000 per occurrence for locations outside of Florida and completely retaining risk at the Florida facilities. As of June 30, 2002, the Company maintained a Claims Reserve in the amount of $4,025,000 for incurred but not reported claims. The amount of the reserve was determined through an estimation process that used information from both the Company’s records as well as industry data. The Company uses an independent actuary to help estimate the required general and professional liability reserve. Factors reviewed include the frequency of expected claims, the average cost per claim, emerging industry trends, changes in regulatory environment (such as the recently enacted Florida tort reform legislation) and the expected effect of various operational and risk management initiatives. At this time, the Company estimates that, effective September 1, 2001, its annual cost for professional and general liability insurance for existing facilities will increase from approximately $2,500,000 under the prior program to $6,500,000 under the new program. The Company will continue to evaluate its insurance reserve requirements on a quarterly basis. Required adjustments to the Company’s general and professional liability reserve will be recorded in the accounting period in which the change in estimate occurs. There can be no assurances the recent Florida tort reform legislation will have a positive impact on claims activity, that the coverage limits of the Company’s insurance program will be adequate or that insurance will continue to be available to the Company in the future.
Certain of the increases in Medicare reimbursement for skilled nursing facilities provided for under the BBRA and BIPA are scheduled to expire on October 1, 2002. Unless Congress enacts new legislation, the loss of revenues associated with this occurrence could have a material adverse effect on the Company. If new legislation is not enacted, the Company estimates that its revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 would be reduced by approximately $37 per Medicare Part A patient day. The Company cannot provide assurances that Congress will act to renew the existing legislation; however, the Company does anticipate that it would take actions to reduce costs to offset a portion of this revenue reduction. At this time, the Company cannot predict the course of action likely to be selected by Congress or the impact of this issue on the Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) broadened the scope of fraud and abuse laws to include all health plans, whether or not they are reimbursed under Federal programs. HIPAA also mandated the adoption of federal regulations designed to (a) standardize transaction formats and billing codes for documenting health care services, determining eligibility and processing claims for payment; and (b) protect the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information. Final HIPAA regulations that standardize transactions and code sets were issued during the third quarter of 2000. The ultimate compliance date was subsequently modified by legislation to require health care providers and health plans to either comply with the HIPAA transaction code set standards beginning in October of 2002 or submit a written plan to the federal government by October of 2002 describing specific plans for compliance by October of 2003. The regulations do not require healthcare providers to submit claims electronically, but do require standard formatting for those that do so. The Company currently submits most claims electronically
and expects to continue to do so. The Company is currently evaluating its plans for compliance by October of 2002 or submitting the required plan describing its plans for compliance by October of 2003.
Final HIPAA privacy regulations were published during the fourth quarter of 2000. However, on March 27, 2002, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published in the Federal Register a proposed rule which if finally adopted would modify the regulations published during 2000. In general, the regulations apply to “protected health information”, which is defined as individually identifiable health information transmitted or maintained in any form or medium, excluding certain education records and student medical records. The privacy regulations seek to limit the use and disclosure of most paper and oral communications, as well as those in electronic form, regarding an individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition, or relating to the provision of health care to the individual or payment of that health care. The regulations further impose requirements on health care providers to contractually obligate certain of their contractors who may receive protected health care information during the course of rendering services on behalf of such health care provider to abide by certain privacy requirements as well. In addition, the current HIPAA regulations provide that certain state privacy laws may not be preempted by HIPAA. Accordingly, the Company, in certain instances, will remain subject to various state privacy laws in jurisdictions in which it currently operates facilities. HIPAA provides for the imposition of civil and criminal penalties if protected health information is improperly disclosed. The Company must comply with the privacy regulations by April of 2003. Given the issuance of the recent proposed rulemaking, it is uncertain the extent to which the regulations that were published in 2000 will change. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the privacy regulations on its operations.
HIPAA’s security regulations have not been finalized. The proposed security regulations specify administrative procedures, physical safeguards, and technical services and mechanisms designed to ensure that protected health information remains secure. The proposed security rules contemplate a compliance date of 24 months after the effective date of the final rule published in the Federal Register, although it is possible that such compliance date will differ and could align with the compliance date for the privacy regulations depending on when the security regulations are ultimately finalized.
The Company is currently working in conjunction with its software vendors to evaluate the impact of HIPAA regulations on the Company’s systems and operating procedures. The Company has not yet completed its analysis or its estimate of the expected costs of compliance with the HIPAA regulations. There can be no assurances that compliance with HIPAA regulations will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or its financial position.
The Company’s earnings generally fluctuate from quarter to quarter. This seasonality is related to a combination of factors, which include the timing and amount of Medicaid rate increases, seasonal census cycles, and the number of days in a given fiscal quarter.
The healthcare industry is labor intensive. Wages and other labor related costs are especially sensitive to inflation. Certain of the Company’s other expense items, such as supplies and real estate costs are also sensitive to inflationary pressures. Shortages in the labor market or general inflationary pressure could have a significant effect on the Company. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs to the Company in the form of higher prices. When faced with increases in operating costs, the Company has sought to increase its charges for services and its requests for reimbursement from government programs. The Company’s private pay customers and third party reimbursement sources may be less able to absorb increased prices for the Company’s services. The Company’s operations could be adversely affected if it is unable to recover future cost increases or experiences significant delays in increasing rates of reimbursement of its labor or other costs from Medicare and Medicaid revenue sources.
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including information set forth under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, constitute “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). The Company desires to take advantage of certain “safe harbor” provisions of the Reform Act and is including this special note to enable the Company to do so. Forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q, or hereafter included in other publicly available documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to the Company’s stockholders and other publicly available statements issued or released by the Company involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause the Company’s actual results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements to differ materially from the future results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company believes the following important factors could cause such a material difference to occur:
1. The occurrence of changes in the mix of payment sources utilized by the
Company's patients to pay for the Company's services.
2. The adoption of cost containment measures by private pay sources such as
commercial insurers and managed care organizations, as well as efforts by
governmental reimbursement sources to impose cost containment measures.
3. Changes in the United States healthcare system, including changes in
reimbursement levels and the method of reimbursement, under Medicaid and
Medicare, and other changes in applicable government regulations that might
affect the profitability of the Company.
4. The Company's continued ability to operate in a heavily regulated
environment and to satisfy regulatory authorities, thereby avoiding a
number of potentially adverse consequences, such as the imposition of
fines, temporary suspension of admission of patients, restrictions on the
ability to acquire new facilities, suspension or decertification from
Medicaid or Medicare programs, and in extreme cases, revocation of a
facility's license or the closure of a facility, including as a result of
unauthorized activities by employees.
5. The Company's ability to secure the capital and the related cost of such
capital necessary to fund its future growth through acquisition and
development, as well as internal growth.
6. Changes in certificate of need laws that might increase competition in the
Company's industry, including, particularly, in the states in which
the Company currently operates or anticipates operating in the future.
7. The Company's ability to staff its facilities appropriately with qualified
healthcare personnel, including in times of shortages of such personnel and
to maintain a satisfactory relationship with labor unions.
8. The level of competition in the Company's industry, including without
limitation, increased competition from acute care hospitals, providers of
assisted and independent living and providers of home healthcare and
changes in the regulatory systems in the states in which the Company
operates that facilitate such competition.
9. The continued availability and pricing of insurance for the inherent risks
of liability in the healthcare industry. Claims activity associated with
the Company's self-insured risk programs.
10. Price increases in pharmaceuticals, durable medical equipment and other
items.
11. The Company's reputation for delivering high-quality care and its ability
to attract and retain patients, including patients with relatively high
acuity levels.
12. Changes in general economic conditions, including changes that pressure
governmental reimbursement sources to reduce the amount and scope of
healthcare coverage.
The foregoing review ofsignificant factors should not be construed as exhaustive
or as an admission regarding the adequacy of disclosures previously made by the
Company.
Most of the Company’s debt obligations bear interest at fixed rates and are not affected by changes in market interest rates; however, borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Under the Credit Facility, interest is based on either LIBOR or prime rates of interest (plus applicable margins determined by the Company’s leverage), at the Company’s election. As the prime and LIBOR rates of interest increase, interest expense associated with the Company’s borrowings under the Credit Facility would also increase. An increase of 1% in the applicable rate would increase the Company’s annual interest cost by approximately $233,000.
The Company did not experience significant changes in interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2002. As part of the Company’s risk management program, the Company continuously reviews its overall exposure to interest rate risk and evaluates the benefits of interest rate hedging through the use of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps. By entering into an interest rate swap, the Company can effectively transform variable rate debt into fixed rate debt. The Company did not have any interest rate swap arrangements outstanding during the six-month periods ending June 30, 2001 or June 30, 2002.
