General
Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc (the Company), a leading 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, 2005, the Company operates thirty-five 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 Companys mission is to provide high quality medical care and extraordinary service, thereby improving the health status of employees, reducing workers compensation costs, and assisting 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. 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. While most of these services are delivered at the Companys community-based occupational health centers, many of these services may also be delivered on-site at the workplace.
The Companys 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 contracted or associated with the Company 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 Companys 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 health systems, and by development of its workplace health programs. The Company currently has affiliations with twelve health systems.
The Company maintains its principal executive offices at 175 Derby Street, Suite 36, Hingham, Massachusetts 02043-4058, and its telephone number is (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 its 2004 Workplace Safety Index, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company reports that the total costs to employers for workers compensation payments to injured workers and the medical care these workers received were just under $50 billion. Of these costs, just over half were incurred for medical services. The total cost of workers compensation medical services has been rising approximately 10% a year for the last several years.
1
Other workers compensation-related costs incurred by employers include overtime, the costs to replace injured workers, and reduced productivity as a result of injured employees not being on the job. Employers must also bear certain administrative costs associated with managing their workers compensation programs.
In addition to paying costs associated with workers compensation, employers must also pay for medical services required by various governmental regulatory bodies. These requirements are usually industry specific and/or exposure specific. Consequently, some industries, such as trucking and chemical handling, are more impacted than others. The regulations generally require certain physical examinations and/or medical surveillance services to assure employees are capable of safely performing specific jobs or are not being exposed to harmful conditions. The costs to employers of meeting these regulatory requirements vary greatly by employer, but are often substantial.
While workers compensation medical costs have been rising, the frequency of injuries, especially serious workplace injuries, has been going down. The Company believes its aggressive return to work philosophy and system of care, which is shared by some other modern occupational health programs, is a major contributor to the reduced frequency of work-related injuries. 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 which remain a key driver of workers compensation costs. The National Council of Compensation Insurers reports that workers compensation costs as a percent of payroll have dropped from 2.3% in the 1990s to 1.8% in 2003. The Company has played a role in this success and has garnered strong relationships with many thousands of customers as a result.
In recent years, employers have been taking a more active role in preventing and managing workplace injuries. This typically includes the establishment of safety committees, an 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 Companys, 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 Companys 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 Companys strategic objectives are to develop a comprehensive national network of occupational healthcare delivery sites and to expand its workplace health services to become a 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 Companys practice model through implementation of the OH+R System. New services are added as required
2
to provide the Companys 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 Companys direct sales efforts and word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied clients are the source of workplace health opportunities not proximate to a center.
The Companys operating strategy is based upon:
| Integration of ServicesPrevention 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 workers care are 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 ServiceFor 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 serviceto patients, to employers and to third parties. From proactive communications with all parties to custom services addressing an employers 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 ReportingThe OH+R System is focused on achieving successful outcomes and 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 ProviderThe 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 and other procedures thereby increasing the productivity of clinicians. The Company routinely refines and revises the OH+R System to increase efficiency and effectiveness. |
| Provider RelationsThe 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 Companys 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 EthicCore to the Companys 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 continually pursues enhancement of best practices in all aspects of its business. |
Services
The Companys 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
3
Company is able to meet the needs of single site, regional multi-site or national employers and payers in the regions it serves. The Companys services are delivered in a variety of venues including the Companys full service centers, in the workplace, and through contractual 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 Companys full service centers provide primary occupational health services while its health system partners offer after-hours care, specialist services, and diagnostic testing. The integrated system provides a seamless continuum of services to employees and employers. The Companys 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 Companys organized system of care. The Company also offers 24-hour nurse triage in selected markets.
The Companys Medical Policy Board is the focal point for maintaining and enhancing the Companys 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 Companys occupational health specialists differentiate the Companys prevention and compliance services. Through treating work-related injuries, the Companys clinicians gain significant insights into employers safety issues, thereby improving the efficacy of prevention programs. The Companys expertise in health and safety regulatory matters provides employers with a critical resource to assist them in addressing increasingly complex federal and state regulations.
Specific prevention and compliance services include:
| Physical Examinations |
| Pre-placement |
| Executive |
| Department of Transportation (DOT) |
| Annual |
| Medical Monitoring/Surveillance |
| Screenings |
| Drug and Alcohol Testing |
| Substance Abuse Program Development and Management |
| Hazardous Substances Screening/Testing |
4
| Pulmonary Function Tests |
| Audiograms |
| Job Specific Work Skills Assessments |
| Safety Programs |
| Ergonomics Consultations |
| Health Promotion |
| Immunizations |
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 patients recovery while minimizing the ultimate costs associated with the case.
As part of the Companys injury treatment services, the multi-disciplinary clinical team controls and coordinates all aspects of an injured workers 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, 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 Companys commitment to goal-oriented, cost-effective, quality care is evident.
When an individual has not been treated within the Companys system of care, specialty evaluations may be 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 Companys occupational medicine physicians and therapists bring a unique set of skills and experiences to these evaluations, including in-depth understanding of the workplace and of the laws and regulations governing work assignments. 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 |
5
| 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 Companys center resources. The Companys 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 Companys network of care. In addition, the system measures the Companys 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 also believes its ability and willingness to measure and be accountable for its performance to employers and third-party payers significantly differentiate it 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. Through a sales planning and forecasting process, the Company analyzes markets and allocates and consistently monitors resources to ensure maximum results. Client Relations Directors (CRD), 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
6
relations programs focused on reinforcing the Companys position as a leader in occupational health. The successful establishment of partnership relationships with clients is a key ingredient to the Companys 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 Companys 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 sub-management 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys intended principal method of expansion is by 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
7
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 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 Companys expertise in profitably delivering high quality care and extraordinary service at the center level |
| Minimization of capital requirements |
| The OH+R Systema 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 Companys Medical Policy Board which helps ensure that the health systems patients are receiving best practice care |
| The Companys entrepreneurial work environment that provides incentives for performance |
| The Companys expertise in sales and marketing to increase market share, occupational health revenues, and referrals for other health system services |
| Access to the Companys 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 the scope of their 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.
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 Companys 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 provide occupational medicine, physical therapy, or related services, the Company can enter a new geographical area or consolidate its position within an existing market. Therapy
8
practices receive referrals of injured workers from local specialty physicians, which can complement the Companys 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 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 systems 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. In January 2005, the Company renegotiated the payment terms for the $140,000 then outstanding on the subordinated note. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company will pay the outstanding amount in varying installments between February 1, 2005 and May 1, 2005. Effective July 1, 2002, the Company assumed the 40% ownership interest of its joint venture partner in its Rochester, New York 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 ERNs 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 networks assets. There will be a final settlement between the parties after the Company has collected all amounts owed to, and paid all amounts owed by, the network as of the termination date. Final settlement will occur during 2005.
In 2002, the Company recognized revenue of $2,286,000 for the seven occupational health centers owned by HMG which it no longer manages. Because a significant portion of the revenue was paid to third party providers for services rendered to the Companys patients, the loss of revenue did not have a material impact on its operating profit.
On April 1, 2003, the Company purchased an occupational health practice in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and consolidated the operations into its existing center. The Company recognized $493,000 in goodwill and other intangible assets on the transaction.
Effective April 30, 2003, the Company terminated its long-term management contract with a hospital system in Nashville, Tennessee and concurrently purchased five centers which it had previously managed for a total consideration of $1,700,000, payable in cash of $300,000 at closing, and $400,000, $500,000 and $500,000 on October 1, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. In September 2004, the Company renegotiated the payment terms with the seller for the $1,000,000 then outstanding. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company will pay a total of $1,029,000 in fifteen approximately equal monthly installments beginning October 1, 2004. However, the balance outstanding on September 30, 2005 of $201,000 will be payable in full on October 1, 2005 if such payment will not cause an immediate default under the Companys line of credit, or if the Company reasonably believes, based on its historical financial performance, that it would not cause such a default within three months of the date such payment was made.
In connection with the purchase of the five centers in Tennessee, the seller forgave the loan payable balance of $1,200,000 (before discount) due under the long-term management contract. Accordingly, the Company offset against the purchase price the net deferred credit previously recorded on the management contract which amounted to $550,000. This deferred credit represented 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 net of the aforementioned items resulted in the recognition of $98,000 in fixed assets and $35,000 in goodwill and other intangible assets and had no impact on the Companys statement of operations.
9
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 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 when conditions warrant such an approach. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.
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 Companys focused expertise in combining multiple disciplines to address the needs of a single market segmentwork-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 Companys 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 nations largest company providing occupational healthcare services followed by U.S. HealthWorks, Inc. and the Company. The Company is in direct competition with these companies in approximately half the markets in which it operates. 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 Companys 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 Companys business operations, especially those related to the special nature of the Companys 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 Companys or the Medical Providers businesses 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
10
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 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 Companys business. In addition, the laws and regulations of some states could restrict expansion of the Companys 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 became effective beginning April 14, 2003 and at various dates thereafter for Covered Entities (as defined). Based principally upon the composition of its business on that date, most notably the elimination of its urgent care services in March 2003, and because it does not engage in Covered Transactions (as defined) through electronic means, the Company has determined that it does not currently fall directly under the purview of HIPAA. However, the Company recognizes that a number of the standards established by HIPAA represent best practices for its own business and it intends to phase in those procedures over time in addition to maintaining its 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 healthcare providers and insurers. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be required at some future time to comply fully with HIPAA 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
11
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 and recent cases 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 Companys structure for joint ventures with tax-exempt hospitals may differ from the Companys typical model so as not to jeopardize the tax-exempt status of these hospitals.
12
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 Companys 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 Companys 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, Telors 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 hires, and inclement weather. These activities also cause a decrease in drug and alcohol tests, 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.
Employees
As of March 1, 2005, the Company employed 516 individuals on a full and part-time basis. The total clinical professionals contracted or associated with the Company as of March 1, 2005 were 270, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, medical assistants, physical and occupational therapists, and assistant physical and occupational therapists. None of the Companys 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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS 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 Companys operations have been funded primarily through venture capital investments, the Merger, and lines of credit. The Companys 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 Company derives its revenue from three principal sources: treatment of work-related injuries, including the provision of rehabilitation services necessary to speed the patients post-injury recovery, injury prevention and regulatory compliance services such as pre-placement physical examinations and drug and alcohol tests, and workplace health and rehabilitation services where the Company provides on-site delivery of its services for work-related injuries, generally to regional locations of major corporations. Medical treatment of injuries and the associated rehabilitation services account for nearly two-thirds of the Companys revenue, prevention and
18
compliance services for about 25%, and workplace health and rehabilitation services for about 10%. The Company operates 35 centers, of which 26 are in the northeast of the United States, five are in Tennessee, and four are in Missouri. The Company manages workplace health contracts not only at sites close to its centers but also in many other areas of the country.
The level of economic activity in the regions of the country in which the Companys centers are located impacts its profitability. Certain classifications of employment have higher injury rates than others. For example, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare delivery, and construction tend to have high injury rates and therefore high utilization of the types of services offered by the Company. Consequently, changes in the employment levels in these market sectors impact the volume of business available to the Company. The Company also provides more services when employment levels rise. The stronger the employment market, the greater the demand for pre-placement examinations and drug and alcohol tests. Higher levels of economic activity also result in more work-related injuries requiring treatment. In recent years, when employment levels have been soft and economic growth modest, the Company has focused on increasing its market share in a still very fragmented industry through aggressive marketing, offering high levels of service to its clients and maintaining a tight control on its costs.
In many states in which the Company operates, the prices it charges for its injury treatment of work-related injuries are determined by state specific fee schedules established by state agencies pursuant to the workers compensation programs in that state. Such fee schedules are reviewed by the regulatory bodies from time to time, but changes in the rates tend to lag the increase in the cost of delivering medical services. Moreover, reimbursement rates vary widely from state to state. In those states not governed by a fee schedule, the Company charges the usual and customary rates which are based on the average fees paid by workers compensation insurers and accepted by healthcare providers. The Company uses the services of third party consultants to assist it in keeping abreast of the frequently complex and often changing workers compensation fee schedules and the appropriate usual and customary fees.
Accounts receivable is the Companys largest asset on its balance sheet. The Company closely monitors its days sales outstanding, a measure computed by dividing its annual average revenue per day into its current accounts receivable balance. By reducing its days sales outstanding, the Company can increase its cash inflow and use the additional funds to pay down its debt or for general corporate purposes. Conversely, an increase in its days sales outstanding results in less liquidity for the Company and restricts managements operating flexibility. The Company days sales outstanding were 68, 60 and 62 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Companys major focus is building its revenue base. Once a center has covered its fixed costs, which account on average for approximately 55% of its revenue and consist primarily of employee-related expenses and rent and occupancy charges, each additional dollar of revenue generates a high variable profit margin. A new injury visit, for example, generates about $770 in net revenue through follow up visits and referrals to rehabilitation treatment.
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company are based on the Companys 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. 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 third-party payers, employers 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.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization.
The Company performs an impairment test on goodwill on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. Impairment is determined by comparing the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined based on its discounted future cash flows using a discount reflecting the Companys average cost of funds. If impairment were determined to have occurred, the Company would make the appropriate adjustment to goodwill to reduce the assets carrying value. No such impairment existed at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
Other intangible assets are comprised of non-compete agreements and deferred financing costs which are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods of three to five years. The Company performs an impairment test on such definite-lived intangibles when facts and circumstances exist which would suggest that the intangibles may be impaired. If impairment were determined to have occurred, the Company would make the appropriate adjustment to the intangible asset to reduce the assets carrying value to fair value. No such impairment existed at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
Professional Liability Coverage
The Company maintains entity professional liability insurance coverage on a claims-made basis in all states in which it has operating centers. The Company also maintains shared professional liability insurance coverage in the name of its full-time physicians on a claims-made basis. At December 31, 2004, the Company recorded an actuarially determined liability equal to the estimated required reserves for future payments for claims that have been reported and claims that have occurred but have not been reported. The Company intends to renew its existing professional liability insurance 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.
Reserves for Employee Medical Benefits
The Company retains a significant amount of self-insurance risk for its employee medical benefits. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance which limits the Companys liability for medical insurance payments on both an individual and total group basis. At the end of each quarter, the Company records an accrued expense for estimated medical 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this revision to determine the impact on its financial statements. It is, however, expected to have a negative effect on net income.
20
As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method permitted by APB 25 and accordingly does not recognize any compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, adoption of the fair value method required by SFAS 123R will have an impact on the Companys results of operations, although it will have no impact on its overall financial position. The impact of the modified prospective adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be estimated at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share.
In December 2004, the FASB decided to defer issuance of their final standard on earnings per share (EPS) entitled Earnings per Share, an Amendment to SFAS 128. The final standard will be effective in 2005 and will require retrospective application for all prior periods presented. The significant proposed changes to the EPS computation are changes to the treasury stock method and contingent share guidance for computing year-to-date diluted EPS, removal of the ability to overcome the presumption of share settlement when computing diluted EPS when there is a choice of share or cash settlement and inclusion of mandatorily convertible securities in basic EPS. The Company is currently evaluating the proposed provisions of this amendment to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the relative percentages which certain items in the Companys consolidated statements of operations bear to revenue. The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollar amounts in thousands)
Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
Net Revenue
Net revenue in 2004 increased by $3,550, or 6.6%, to $57,088 from $53,538 in 2003. Net revenue at centers open for comparable periods in both years increased by $4,214, or 8.0%, primarily due to growth in revenue per visit as a result of price increases. A new center start-up in late 2003 generated $249 in additional revenue during the period in 2004 prior to the anniversary date of its opening. Same center prevention and regulatory compliance services revenue increased 3.1% in 2004 compared to the prior year and workplace health and rehabilitation services revenue, which relates to the provision of work-related healthcare services at employer sites, increased 25.4%, primarily due to new contracts. Same center new injury initial visits decreased 5.9% in 2004 compared to 2003, primarily due to a soft fourth quarter.
The increase in net revenue in 2004 at centers open for comparable periods in both years was partially offset by the closure or elimination of certain unprofitable centers and lines of business which generated $913 of
21
revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2003. Of the total revenue eliminated, $782 was attributable to the reorganization of the Companys operations in Tennessee, including the closure of a center and the cessation of urgent care services, and $131 was attributable to the termination of management contracts in Connecticut.
Center Operating Expenses
Center operating expenses in 2004 increased $1,368, or 2.9%, to $48,938 from $47,570 in 2003. The principal expense increases were for the additional costs associated with the revenue gains during the year, charges in connection with the Companys employee bonus program and other employee-related expenses, costs incurred for the ongoing rollout of the Companys upgrade to its practice management system and consulting fees tied to revenue growth resulting from implementation of recommended improvements to the Companys billing practices. These increases were partially offset by the elimination of costs relating to the provision of urgent care services in Tennessee and to centers no longer under management, primarily in Connecticut. As a percentage of net revenue, center operating expenses decreased to 85.7% in 2004 from 88.9% in 2003, reflecting the Companys ability to leverage its fixed costs on its revenue growth.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in 2004 increased $378 or 7.9%, to $5,150 in 2004 from $4,772 in 2003, primarily due to increases in regional management expenses and amounts accrued for management bonuses. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.0% in 2004 from 8.9% in 2003.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense in 2004 increased $179, to $829 from $650 in 2003. Of the total increase, $150 was attributable to a combination of an increase in borrowings under, and the rate of interest on, the Companys line of credit. The Company has drawn down on its credit line primarily in order to make installment payments on its long-term debt and is charged interest on its borrowings at the prime rate plus 1.00%. Interest expense in 2004 was $87 more than in 2003 due to an increase in the interest rate on the Companys Notes to 15.00% from 8.00% because the Company did not pay the full principal amount when due. Interest expense on other debt obligations decreased $58, primarily due to the lower outstanding balances on the Companys long-term debt instruments. Interest income was $8 in both 2004 and 2003. As a percentage of net revenue, interest expense, net increased to 1.5% in 2004 from 1.2% in 2003.
Minority Interest and Contractual Settlements
Minority interest represents the share of (profits) and losses of joint venture investors with the Company. In 2004, the minority interest in pre-tax profits of the joint ventures was $(729) compared to $(853) in 2003, reflecting a reduction in the aggregate profits of the joint venture operations as compared to the prior year. Contractual settlements represent payments to, or receipts from, the Companys partners under the Companys management contracts in respect of the partners share of operating (profits) or losses, respectively. There were no contractual settlements in 2004, since the Company terminated its management contracts with its former partners in Connecticut and Tennessee during the first six months of 2003. In 2003, the Company recorded receipt of funded operating losses of $38.
Tax Provision (Benefit)
There was a tax provision of $586 in 2004. In 2003, there was a net tax benefit of $(99) because the Company reported a loss for the year. The effective tax rate in 2004 was 42.6% compared to (30.2%) in 2003. The Company computes its effective tax rate based on its level of profitability, adjusted for certain expenses which are not deductible, and applying its blended federal and state income tax rates. Since the Company
22
recorded a significant pre-tax profit in 2004 compared to a small loss in 2003, the upward impact of the permanent tax differences on the effective tax rate in 2004 is not as significant as it was in 2003.
Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
Net Revenue
Net revenue in 2003 decreased by $3,411, or 6.0%, to $53,538 from $56,949 in 2002. The decrease in net revenue was primarily due to measures implemented by management to eliminate unprofitable operations or lines of business, partially offset by increases in revenue at centers open for more than one year. The termination of management contracts in Connecticut in January 2003 resulted in the elimination of $2,423 of revenue compared to 2002, and the reorganization of the Companys operations in Tennessee, including the closure of two centers and the cessation of urgent care services, reduced revenue by an additional $3,579.
Net revenue at centers in operation for comparable periods in both years increased by $2,453, or 4.9%, primarily due to a growth in revenue per visit as a result of price increases. Same center new injury initial visits were down 1.5% for the year but were ahead of the prior year during the second half of 2003, reflecting both the capture of market share by the Company and the positive effects of a slowly recovering economy. Prevention services in 2003 were flat. Additional revenue of $138 in 2003 was primarily attributable to a new center start-up late in the year.
Center Operating Expenses
Center operating expenses decreased $3,110, or 6.1%, to $47,570 in 2003 from $50,680 in 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the number of centers under management, principally in Connecticut where a majority of the costs related to payments to third party providers for services rendered to the Companys patients, and the elimination of urgent care services in Tennessee after March 31, 2003. These cost reductions were partially offset by consulting fees tied to the increase in revenue resulting from implementation of recommended improvements to the Companys billing practices, increases in professional and general liability insurance premiums, and costs relating to an upgrade to the Companys practice management system. As a percentage of net revenue, center operating expenses decreased to 88.9% in 2003 from 89.0% in 2002.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $195, or 3.9%, to $4,772 in 2003 from $4,967 in 2002, with a decrease in corporate employee-related costs being partially offset by an increase in regional management expenses. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.9% in 2003 from 8.7% in 2002.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense increased to $650 in 2003 from $423 in 2002. The increase was attributable to the Companys repurchase of its preferred stock in March 2003 in connection with which it increased its borrowings under its line of credit by $2,805 in order to pay $2,700 in cash to its preferred stockholders as well as the legal costs associated with the transaction, and issued $2,700 of 8.00% subordinated promissory notes. Interest income decreased to $8 in 2003 from $26 in 2002. As a percentage of net revenue, interest expense, net increased to 1.2% in 2003 from 0.7% in 2002.
Minority Interest and Contractual Settlements
Minority interest represents the share of (profits) and losses of joint venture investors with the Company. In 2003, the minority interest in pre-tax profits of subsidiaries decreased to $(853) from $(891) in 2002, reflecting a
23
reduction in the aggregate profits of the joint venture operations as compared to the prior year. Contractual settlements represent payments to, or receipts from, the Companys partners under the Companys management contracts in respect of the partners share of operating (profits) or losses, respectively. In 2003, the Company recorded receipt of $38 of funded operating losses compared to $395 in 2002.
Tax (Benefit) Provision
There was a net tax benefit of $(99) in 2003 compared to a tax provision of $215 in 2002 because the Company reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003. The effective tax rate for 2003 was (30.2%). The tax provision for 2002 includes $52 relating to an adjustment to the previously provided deferred tax benefit, and to state income taxes. These charges resulted in an increase in the Companys effective tax rate in 2002 to 60.1% from the normalized rate of 45.5%.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not currently have any off balance sheet arrangements.

(1) | As of December 31, 2004, the amount available to the Company under the borrowing base formula for its line of credit was $6,933, of which $5,407 was drawn down. See Note 4 in the consolidated notes to the financial statements. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2004, the Company had negative working capital of $1,960 compared to negative working capital of $3,132 in 2003 and positive working capital of $4,049 in 2002. The reduction of $1,172 in the negative working capital in 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, net of allowances, of $1,806, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $662 and an increase in total current liabilities of $168. Of the $7,181 decrease in working capital in 2003 compared to 2002, $5,672 related to the repurchase by the Company of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock). The Company increased its borrowings under its line of credit by $2,805 in order to pay $2,700 in cash to the preferred stockholders and $105 of legal costs associated with the transaction. It has also recognized as a current liability $2,867 of notes payable, inclusive of accrued interest, issued to the preferred stockholders. The Companys principal sources of liquidity at December 31, 2004 consisted of (i) cash and cash equivalents aggregating $1,082, (ii) uncollateralized accounts receivable of $2,137 and (iii) $1,526 available under its asset-based line of credit.
24
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2004 was $3,233 compared to $2,959 in 2003 and $2,606 in 2002. The increase of $274 in 2004 compared to 2003 was due to an increase in profitability of $1,507, after adjusting for non-cash charges, partially offset by a negative net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1,233. The increase of $353 in 2003 compared to 2002 was due to a positive net change in operating assets and liabilities of $759, partially offset by a decrease in profitability of $406, after adjusting for non-cash charges.
Accounts receivable, net of allowances, increased by $1,806 in 2004 to $10,577 from $8,771 in 2003 and $9,736 in 2002. Of the increase in 2004, $1,251 was due to an increase in days sales outstanding and the balance to revenue growth. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable, net of allowances were 68 at December 31, 2004 compared to 60 at December 31, 2003 and 62 at December 31, 2002. The increase in days sales outstanding in 2004 was due primarily to the temporary negative effect of the conversion to the Companys upgraded practice management system with its related changes in center operating processes and to staff shortages at the central billing office.
The decrease in accounts receivable in 2003 as compared to 2002 was attributable in part to the decrease in the Companys revenue over the period resulting from the reduction in the number of centers under management and the elimination of urgent care services, and in part to a reduction in days sales outstanding.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $1,515 in 2004 to $7,421 from $5,906 in 2003. Of the total increase, $426 was attributable to an increase in the accrual for bonuses under the Companys employee incentive programs, $303 to an increase in the number of days of accrued payroll and $205 to an increase in the amount due a third party administrator, primarily for claims incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2004 under the Companys self-insured employee medical program. The balance of the increase in accounts payable was primarily due to a growth in the Companys business and timing differences on the payment of obligations.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $44 in 2003 to $5,906 from $5,950 in 2002. Amounts due to third-party providers decreased $768, primarily due to the termination of a long-term management contract in Connecticut and conversion to in-center rehabilitation services upon the purchase of five centers in Tennessee. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company reduced the amount of earned but unused vacation time an employee may carry over to the following year, resulting in a decrease of $242 in the accrued vacation liability. Accounts payable increased $348 due to normal variances in the payment cycle. An increase of $293 in accrued professional fees related primarily to consulting fees tied to the increase in revenue resulting from implementation of recommended improvements to the Companys billing practices. Accrued interest expense increased $180, primarily relating to the notes issued in connection with the repurchase of the Preferred Stock in March 2003. The professional liability accrual increased $163, primarily to recognize the actuarially determined liability for future payments for claims that have been reported and claims that have occurred but have not been reported.
Net cash used in investing activities was $380, $1,160 and $1,006 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Companys investing activities included fixed asset additions of $380, $678 and $891 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, primarily related to information systems equipment. The fixed asset additions in 2002 and 2003 primarily related to the Companys upgrade of its practice management system.
In 2003, net cash used in investing activities included $482, primarily relating to the purchase of an occupational health practice in Murfreesboro, Tennessee with an initial cash outlay of $150, and the purchase of five centers in Nashville, Tennessee previously managed by the Company with an initial cash outlay of $300. In 2002, net cash used in investing activities included $115, primarily relating to the purchase of two occupational health centers in New Jersey.
Net cash used by financing activities was $3,515, $1,729 and $1,533 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In 2004, the Company increased its borrowings, after repayments, under its asset-based line of credit by $450,
25
primarily to pay down its long-term debt obligations. In 2003, the Company increased its net borrowings under its line of credit by $3,061, primarily in connection with the repurchase of its Preferred Stock in March 2003. In 2002, the Company paid down $198, net of advances, under its line of credit.
Under lease arrangements with certain leasing companies, the Company accumulates its fixed asset purchases until the value of those purchases reaches a certain minimum amount before requesting a draw down from its lease lines. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, cash proceeds of $217, $139 and $766, respectively, were received under its lease lines, primarily to fund information systems equipment. The Company used funds of $3,395, $1,181 and $1,205 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for the payment of long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The use of funds in 2004 included the repayment of $2,025 of its subordinated promissory notes issued in connection with the Companys repurchase of its Preferred Stock in 2003.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company paid cash of $773, $845 and $886, 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 cash accumulated by the joint ventures which it can then use for general corporate purposes. The Company expects to continue to make distributions when the cash balances in the joint ventures permit.
Subordinated Promissory Notes
In 2003, net cash used by financing activities included $2,805 in connection with the Companys repurchase on March 24, 2003 of all of its outstanding 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 Companys common stock. The Company incurred $105 of legal expenses in connection with this transaction. The Notes bore interest at 8.00% and were payable in three equal principal installments, together with interest accrued thereon, 12, 15, and 18 months after the date of issuance. In the event a principal payment is not made when due, the interest rate on the unpaid principal and interest amount increases to 15.00% until the default is cured. A default under the Notes permits the Note holders to accelerate payment of all unpaid principal and interest. However, under the CapitalSource Credit Line, no amounts can be paid to the Note holders if CapitalSource objects.
On March 24, 2004, the Company paid $450 of the $900 principal amount due together with accrued interest thereon of $36. The Company elected to enter into such default in order to conserve its cash resources for operating purposes. The Company has determined that this default, under the terms of the Notes, does not constitute a cross default with respect to third party contractual obligations of the Company other than CapitalSource.
The default under the Notes created a cross default under the CapitalSource Credit Line. Accordingly, the Company obtained a waiver from CapitalSource on March 30, 2004 which waives any similar cross default that occurs as a result of any additional partial payment of the Notes by the Company through March 31, 2005. Also on March 30, 2004, the Note holders agreed in writing to not pursue any remedies related to the failure to make a full installment payment on the Notes through March 31, 2005.
On each of May 5, 2004 and June 18, 2004, the Company paid an additional $225 of principal, being the balance of the amount due on its Notes as of March 24, 2004, together with accrued interest thereon of $22 and $27, respectively. After the payment on June 18, 2004, the Company was no longer in default on the Notes. However, the Company elected not to pay $900 due on the Notes on June 24, 2004 and so reverted to default, at which time the Company again began to accrue interest at 15.00% on the sum of the outstanding principal and the accrued interest to date.
On July 23, 2004, the Company paid $243 on the Notes, being the total interest accrued thereon as of that date. On each of August 27, September 30, October 29, November 30 and December 22, 2004 the Company paid
26
an additional $225 of principal together with accrued interest thereon of $26, $22, $16, $15 and $8, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the total amount outstanding on the Notes was $678, of which $3 represented accrued interest.
In January 2005, the Company determined that, due primarily to a deterioration in the days sales outstanding in its accounts receivable and a consequent reduction in liquidity, it should conserve its cash and not pay the balance outstanding on the Notes by March 31, 2005, the expiration date of the waiver granted by CapitalSource. Accordingly, effective March 7, 2005, the Company obtained from CapitalSource an extension of its waiver through December 31, 2005. Also effective March 7, 2005, the Note holders agreed in writing to extend their original agreement dated March 24, 2004 to not pursue any remedies related to the failure to pay the Notes when due from March 31, 2005 to December 31, 2005.
Secured Credit Facility
On December 15, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with CapitalSource for a new three-year revolving line of credit (the CapitalSource Credit Line) of up to $7,250. The CapitalSource 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 agreement, the Company pays a commitment fee of 0.6% of the unused portion of the CapitalSource Credit Line and certain other fees. The interest rate under the CapitalSource Credit Line is the prime rate plus 1.00%, subject to a floor of 4.00% on the prime rate.
The financial covenants under the CapitalSource Credit Line consist of a fixed charge ratio (defined as the ratio, for a defined period, of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges and non-recurring gains and losses to the sum of payments on long-term debt, exclusive of the Notes, and capital leases, accrued interest and dividends, and capital expenditures and income taxes paid in cash) of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, tested monthly on a trailing six months basis and minimum liquidity (defined as the sum of unrestricted cash on hand, the Companys pro rata share of cash on hand in its joint ventures, and the unborrowed availability under the CapitalSource Credit Line) of $1,000. During the term of the agreement, the Company may enter into new capital lease obligations of up to $1,000, must obtain the prior approval of CapitalSource before acquiring any new business, and is prohibited from the payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants through December 31, 2004. As of and for the trailing six months ended December 31, 2004, the Companys minimum liquidity was $2,166 and its fixed charge ratio was 1.68.
Based on its projections, the Company expects to be in compliance during 2005 with its covenants under the CapitalSource Credit Line, as amended by the waiver effective March 7, 2005. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet its projections and, if it does not, it may not be in compliance with its covenants in the future.
Lease Lines
In March 2001, the Company entered into an agreement for an equipment facility (the Equipment Facility) of $750 to provide secured financing. Borrowings under the facility are repayable over 42 months. The interest rate was based upon the 31-month Treasury Note (T-Note) plus a spread and fluctuated with any change in the T-Note rate up until the time of payment commencement for each draw down. At December 31, 2004, the Company had utilized all of its Equipment Facility.
In August 2002, the Company entered into an agreement for collateralized equipment lease financing in the approximate amount of $1,600 (the Collateralized Line). Borrowings under the facility are repayable over 36 months. The lease-rate factors were 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 purchase the equipment for
27
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 has utilized this lease line primarily to fund its equipment needs relating to the upgrade of its practice management system. At December 31, 2004, the Company had utilized all of its Collateralized Line.
In December 2003, the Company entered into an agreement for collateralized equipment lease financing of approximately $330 (the Lease Line). The Company drew down $346 on the Lease Line during the six months ended June 30, 2004. In June 2004, the Lease Line was increased by $250 (the Lease Line Extension), for a combined lease line of $596. The Lease Line Extension was available for equipment purchases made during the balance of 2004. Borrowings under both facilities are repayable over 60 months. The interest rate on the Lease Line was initially set at certain percentage points above the Five Year Interest Rate Swap rate and subsequently changed to certain percentage points above the most recent weekly average rate of the Five Year Treasuries, both rates being struck at the time of funding. The weighted average interest rate on the Lease Line is 8.90%. The interest rate on the Lease Line Extension is set at a fixed 5.05 percentage points above the most recent weekly average rate of the Five Year Treasuries at the time of funding. In December 2004, the Company drew down $134 under the Lease Line Extension with an effective interest rate of 8.65%. At December 31, 2004, the Company had utilized $479 of the combined lease line.
The Company expects that its principal use of funds in the foreseeable future 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 CapitalSource Credit 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.
Treasury Stock
On December 17, 2003, the Company retired 100,502 shares of common stock being held as treasury stock, with the effect that such shares resumed the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock of the Company.
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 hires, and inclement weather. These activities also cause a decrease in drug and alcohol tests, 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.
28
Professional Liability Insurance Risk
The Company maintains entity professional liability insurance coverage on a claims-made basis, shared professional liability insurance coverage in the name of its full-time physicians, also on a claims-made basis, and an umbrella policy to supplement those coverages. In recent years, the Company, in line with the healthcare industry in general, has experienced significant increases in the cost of such insurance. The annual cost to the Company for its professional liability and umbrella insurance increased 125% to $772 from $343 between 2002 and 2004 with similar coverage, despite the Companys assuming more of the risk itself. In early 2005, however, the Company observed a softening in the market for such insurance coverage as new carriers entered the market, attracted in part by the higher premiums. Whether or not this moderately favorable climate represents the beginning of a longer term trend or is merely a brief aberration is unknown. 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, 2004. 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 Companys balance sheet includes a revolving credit facility and lease lines which are subject to interest rate risk. The revolving credit facility 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 Companys interest expense. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2004 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 Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, including that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

However, Mr. Hughes may not be considered independent pursuant to the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, if the Companys securities were so listed (which they are not), since Mr. Hughes is a general partner of a stockholder of the Company that owns in excess of 10% of the Companys Common Stock. Stockholders should understand that this designation is a disclosure requirement of the SEC related to Mr. Hughes experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose on Mr. Hughes any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than are generally imposed on him as a member of the audit committee and board of directors, and his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.
Code of Ethics
The Company has a code of conduct applicable to all employees, including all officers and its independent directors who are not employees of the company, with respect to their Company-related activities. Among other directives, this code of conduct contains guidelines designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc (the Company) is a leading provider of occupational healthcare services to employers and their employees and 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 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 Companys business.
All inter-company 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 joint ventures of $1,012 and $1,358 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These funds are utilized only for joint venture purposes unless paid as dividends to the joint venture partners.
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) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization.
50
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH + REHABILITATION INC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
The Company performs an impairment test on goodwill on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. Impairment is determined by comparing the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined based on its discounted future cash flows using a discount reflecting the Companys average cost of funds. If impairment were determined to have occurred, the Company would make the appropriate adjustment to goodwill to reduce the assets carrying value. No such impairment existed at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
Other intangible assets are comprised of non-compete agreements and deferred financing costs which are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods of three to five years. The Company performs an impairment test on such definite-lived intangibles when facts and circumstances exist which would suggest that the intangibles may be impaired. If impairment were determined to have occurred, the Company would make the appropriate adjustment to the intangible asset to reduce the assets carrying value to fair value. No such impairment existed at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
Joint Ventures
The Company has entered into joint ventures with health systems in which the Company owns varying percentages but no less than 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 non-operating gain or loss.
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 the Company can charge for its services associated with work-related injuries and illnesses.
Contractual Settlements
The Company has in the past entered into management contracts to manage the day-to-day operations of certain clinics. Generally, these contracts required a payment by the Company at the inception of the agreement, which was recorded as an intangible asset and amortized over the initial term of the contract. The contracts generally required the sharing of profits and losses at varying percentages throughout the contract term. The funding/payment of these contractual settlement amounts were recorded as non-operating gains or losses. Effective April 30, 2003, the Company terminated its last management contract upon the purchase of five centers which it had previously managed for a hospital system in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Company recorded $0, $38 and $395 of funded operating losses and contractual settlements for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as non-operating gains.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from third-party payers (principally managed care companies and commercial insurance companies), employers and others, including private-pay patients. 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.

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
Professional Liability Coverage
The Company maintains entity professional liability insurance coverage on a claims-made basis in all states in which it has operating centers. The Company also maintains shared professional liability insurance coverage in the name of its full-time physicians on a claims-made basis. At December 31, 2004, the Company recorded an actuarially determined liability equal to the estimated required reserves for future payments for claims that have been reported and claims that have occurred but have not been reported. The Company intends to renew its existing professional liability insurance 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.
Reserves for Employee Medical Benefits
The Company retains a significant amount of self-insurance risk for its employee medical benefits. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance which limits the Companys liability for medical insurance payments on both an individual and total group basis. The Company records an accrued expense for estimated medical benefit claims incurred but not reported. 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.
Stock Compensation Arrangements
The Company has a Stock Option Program. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, encourages entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair market value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS 123 allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock grants as if the fair-value method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied.
The Company accounts for its Stock Option Program under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25. Consequently, no compensation cost related to the Stock Option Program is reflected in net income since all options under this program had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to the Stock Option Program.

Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Companys 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 No. 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 Companys 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 of America.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this standard to determine the impact on its financial statements. It is, however, expected to have a negative effect on net income.
As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method permitted by APB 25 and accordingly does not recognize any compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, adoption of the fair value method required by SFAS 123R will have an impact on the Companys results of operations, although it will have no impact on its overall financial position. The impact of the modified prospective adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be estimated at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share.
In December 2004, the FASB decided to defer issuance of their final standard on earnings per share (EPS) entitled Earnings per Share, an Amendment to SFAS 128. The final standard will be effective in 2005 and will require retrospective application for all prior periods presented. The significant proposed changes to the EPS computation are changes to the treasury stock method and contingent share guidance for computing year-to-date diluted EPS, removal of the ability to overcome the presumption of share settlement when computing diluted EPS when there is a choice of share or cash settlement and inclusion of mandatorily convertible securities in basic EPS. The Company is currently evaluating the proposed provisions of this amendment to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the 2004 presentation. The Company has reclassified its financial statements in order to present its center operating profit and has reallocated depreciation expense between center operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, as applicable.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and 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
Effective January 31, 2003, the Company terminated its long-term management contract with Eastern Rehabilitation Network (ERN), an affiliate of Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Connecticut. As consideration for agreeing to the termination, the Company acquired title to the four occupational health centers in Connecticut which it 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 for its share of the networks assets. There will be a final settlement between the parties after the Company has collected all amounts owed to, and paid all amounts owed by, the network as of the termination date. Final settlement will occur during 2005, and the Company has recorded its estimated liability.
In 2002, the Company recognized revenue of $2,286 for the seven occupational health centers owned by HMG which it no longer manages. Because a significant portion of the revenue was paid to third party providers for services rendered to the Companys patients, the loss of revenue has not had a material impact on the Companys operating profit.
On April 1, 2003, the Company purchased an occupational health practice in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for a total consideration of $525, payable in cash of $150 at closing, and $125 on each of March 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and consolidated the operations into its existing center. The note is non-interest bearing and has been discounted. The Company recognized $493 in goodwill and other intangible assets on the transaction.
Effective April 30, 2003, the Company terminated its long-term management contract with a hospital system in Nashville, Tennessee and concurrently purchased five centers which it had previously managed for a total consideration of $1,700, payable in cash of $300 at closing, and $400, $500, and $500 on October 1, 2003, 2004, and 2005, respectively. In September 2004, the Company renegotiated the payment terms with the seller for the $1,000 then outstanding. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company will pay a total of $1,029 in fifteen monthly installments: six payments of $70, beginning October 1, 2004; seven payments of $68, beginning April 1, 2005; and two payments of approximately $67, beginning November 1, 2005. However, the balance outstanding on September 30, 2005 of $201 will be payable in full on October 1, 2005 if such payment will not cause an immediate default under the terms of the Companys asset-based line of credit, or if the Company reasonably believes, based on its historical financial performance, that it would not cause such a default within three months of the date such payment was made. The note is non-interest bearing and has been discounted.

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
In connection with the purchase of the five centers in Tennessee, the seller forgave the loan payable balance of $1,200 (before discount) due under the long-term management contract. Accordingly, the Company offset against the purchase price the net deferred credit previously recorded on the management contract which amounted to $550. This deferred credit represented 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 net of the aforementioned items resulted in the recognition of $98 in fixed assets and $35 in goodwill and other intangible assets and had no impact on the Companys statement of operations.
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 programs. In February 2002, the Company purchased two occupational health clinics located in New Jersey and transferred the hospital systems occupational health program 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. In January 2005, the Company renegotiated the payment terms for the $140,000 then outstanding on the subordinated note. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company will pay the outstanding amount in varying installments between February 1, 2005 and May 1, 2005. Effective July 1, 2002, the Company assumed the 40% ownership interest of its joint venture partner in its Rochester, New York 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, Missouri market to 96% from 80%, and recognized $90 in goodwill on the transaction.
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 prior to 2000, the Company entered into contractual arrangements whereby the selling parties were entitled to receive contingent cash consideration based upon the achievement of certain minimum operating results. Obligations related to these contingencies were reflected as additional goodwill in the periods they became known. At December 31, 2004, there were no contingent obligations outstanding.

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. In January 2005, the Company renegotiated the payment terms on the subordinated note. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company will pay the outstanding amount in varying installments between February 1, 2005 and May 1, 2005. At December 31, 2004, the amount payable was $140.
In June 2000, a joint venture partnership of the Company issued a promissory note for $86 in connection with the construction of leasehold improvements for one of the partnerships centers. The note is payable in equal installments over 60 months and the interest rate is 12%. At December 31, 2004, the amount payable was $4.
On December 15, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with CapitalSource for a new three-year revolving line of credit (the CapitalSource Credit Line) of up to $7,250. The CapitalSource 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 agreement, the Company pays a commitment fee of 0.60% of the unused portion of the CapitalSource Credit Line and certain other fees. The interest rate under the CapitalSource Credit Line is the prime rate plus 1.00%, subject to a floor of 4.00% on the prime rate. At December 31, 2004, the interest rate under the CapitalSource Credit Line was 6.25%.
The financial covenants under the CapitalSource Credit Line consist of a fixed charge ratio (defined as the ratio, for a defined period, of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash charges and non-recurring gains and losses to the sum of payments on long-term debt, exclusive of the subordinated promissory notes (the Notes), and capital leases, accrued interest and dividends, and capital expenditures and income taxes paid in cash) of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, tested monthly on a trailing six months basis and minimum liquidity (defined as the sum of unrestricted cash on hand, the Companys pro rata share of cash on hand in its joint ventures, and the unborrowed availability under the CapitalSource Credit Line) of $1,000. During the term of the agreement, the Company may enter into new capital lease obligations of up to $1,000, must obtain the prior approval of CapitalSource before acquiring any new business, and is prohibited from the payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants through December 31, 2004. As of and for the trailing six months ended December 31, 2004, the Companys minimum liquidity was $2,166 and its fixed charge ratio was 1.68, respectively.
Based on its projections, the Company expects to be in compliance during 2005 with its covenants under the CapitalSource Credit Line. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet its projections and if it does not, it may not be in compliance with its covenants in the future.
At December 31, 2004, the maximum amount available under the lenders borrowing base formula was $6,933, of which $5,407 was outstanding.
Aggregate maturities of obligations under long-term debt agreements are as follows:

Liquidity
Under the terms of its Notes, the Company was required to make principal payments of $900 on each of March 24, June 24 and September 24, 2004 together with accrued interest thereon. If the Company did not fulfill its contractual payment obligations, the interest rate on the unpaid principal and interest increased to 15.00% from 8.00% until such default was cured. A default under the Notes permits the Note holders to accelerate payment of all unpaid principal and interest. However, under the CapitalSource Credit Line, no amounts can be paid to the Note holders if CapitalSource objects.
On March 24, 2004, the Company paid $450 of the $900 principal amount due together with accrued interest thereon of $36. The Company elected to enter into such default in order to conserve its cash resources for operating purposes. The Company has determined that this default, under the terms of the Notes, does not constitute a cross default with respect to third party contractual obligations of the Company other than CapitalSource.
The default under the Notes created a cross default under the CapitalSource Credit Line. Accordingly, the Company obtained a waiver from CapitalSource on March 30, 2004 which waives any similar cross default that occurs as a result of any additional partial payment of the Notes by the Company through March 31, 2005. Also on March 30, 2004, the Note holders agreed in writing not to pursue any remedies related to the failure to make a full installment payment on the Notes through March 31, 2005.
On each of May 5, 2004 and June 18, 2004, the Company paid an additional $225 of principal, being the balance of the amount due on its Notes as of March 24, 2004, together with accrued interest thereon of $22 and $27, respectively. After the payment on June 18, 2004, the Company was no longer in default on the Notes. However, the Company elected not to pay $900 due on the Notes on June 24, 2004 and so reverted to default, at which time the Company began to accrue interest at 15.00% on the sum of the outstanding principal and the accrued interest to date.
On July 23, 2004, the Company paid $243 on the Notes, being the total interest accrued thereon as of that date. On each of August 27, September 30, October 29, November 30 and December 22, 2004 the Company paid an additional $225 of principal together with accrued interest thereon of $26, $22, $16, $15 and $8, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the total amount outstanding on the Notes was $678, of which $3 represented accrued interest.
In January 2005, the Company determined that, due primarily to a deterioration in the days sales outstanding in its accounts receivable and a consequent reduction in liquidity, it should conserve its cash and not pay the balance outstanding on the Notes by March 31, 2005, the expiration date of the waiver granted by CapitalSource. Accordingly, effective March 7, 2005, the Company obtained from CapitalSource an extension of its waiver through December 31, 2005. Also effective March 7, 2005, the Note holders agreed in writing to extend their original agreement dated March 24, 2004 to not pursue any remedies related to the failure to pay the Notes when due from March 31, 2005 to December 31, 2005.
The Company expects that its principal use of funds in the foreseeable future will be for the repayment of the Notes and other long-term debt obligations, and for working capital requirements, purchases of property and equipment, and acquisitions and the formation of joint ventures. The Company believes that the funds available to it under the Credit 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.

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 $3,895, $3,671 and $3,434 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
In March 2001, the Company entered into an agreement for an Equipment Facility (the Equipment Facility) of $750 to provide secured financing. Borrowings under the facility are repayable over 42 months. The interest rate was 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, 2004, the full amount of the Equipment Facility had been utilized. Interest rates range from 9.93% to 10.99%.
In August 2002, the Company entered into an agreement for collateralized equipment lease financing in the approximate amount of $1,600 (the Collateralized 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 has utilized this lease line primarily to fund its equipment needs relating to the upgrade of its practice management system. At December 31, 2004, the full amount of the Collateralized Line had been utilized. Interest rates range from 3.25% to 9.65%.
In December 2003, the Company entered into an agreement for collateralized equipment lease financing of approximately $330 (the Lease Line). The Company drew down $346 under the Lease Line. In June 2004, the Lease Line was increased by $250 (the Lease Line Extension), for a combined lease line of $596. The Lease Line Extension was available for equipment purchases made during the balance of 2004. Borrowings under both facilities are repayable over 60 months. The interest rate on the Lease Line was initially set at certain percentage points above the Five Year Interest Rate Swap rate and subsequently changed to certain percentage points above the most recent weekly average rate of the Five Year Treasuries, both rates being struck at the time of funding. The weighted average interest rate on the Lease Line is 8.90%. The interest rate on the Lease Line Extension is set at a fixed 5.05 percentage points above the most recent weekly average rate of the Five Year Treasuries at the time of funding. In December 2004, the Company drew down $134 under the Lease Line Extension with an effective interest rate of 8.65%. At December 31, 2004, the Company had utilized $479 of the combined lease line.
The Company has also entered into equipment lease arrangements with other lenders. Interest rates on these leases range from 11.35% to 14.79%.
Future minimum lease payments under capital leases and noncancelable operating leases are as follows:

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 ($0, $146 and $680 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively). For 2003 and 2002, the effect of dilutive options is not considered since it would be antidilutive.

November 6, 1996, the Company issued 1,416,667 shares of redeemable 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. Commencing November 6, 1999, dividends became payable on the shares of Series A when and if declared by the Companys board of directors and thereafter accrued at an annual cumulative rate of $0.48 per share, subject to certain adjustments. At December 31, 2002, $2,153 of dividends were accrued and included in the carrying value of the preferred stock.
On March 24, 2003, the Company repurchased all of its outstanding Series A 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 Companys Common Stock. The Notes bore interest at 8.00% and were payable in three equal principal installments, together with interest accrued thereon, 12, 15 and 18 months after the date of issuance. In the event a principal payment was not made when due, the interest rate on the unpaid principal and interest amount increased to 15.00% until the default was cured.
On March 24, 2004, the Company paid $450 of the $900 principal amount due together with accrued interest thereon of $36. The Company elected to enter into such default in order to conserve its cash resources for operating purposes. The Company has determined that this default, under the terms of the Notes, does not constitute a cross default with respect to third party contractual obligations of the Company other than CapitalSource.

Accordingly, the Company obtained a waiver from CapitalSource on March 30, 2004 which waives any similar cross default that occurs as a result of any additional partial payment of the Notes by the Company through March 31, 2005. Also on March 30, 2004, the Note holders agreed in writing to not pursue any remedies related to the failure to make a full installment payment on the Notes through March 31, 2005.
On each of May 5, 2004 and June 18, 2004, the Company paid an additional $225 of principal, being the balance of the amount due on its Notes as of March 24, 2004, together with accrued interest thereon of $22 and $27, respectively. After the payment on June 18, 2004, the Company was no longer in default on the Notes. However, the Company elected not to pay $900 due on the Notes on June 24, 2004 and so reverted to default, at which time the Company began to accrue interest at 15.00% on the sum of the outstanding principal and the accrued interest to date.
On July 23, 2004, the Company paid $243 on the Notes, being the total interest accrued thereon as of that date. On each of August 27, September 30, October 29, November 30 and December 22, 2004 the Company paid an additional $225 of principal together with accrued interest thereon of $26, $22, $16, $15 and $8, respectively.

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 Stock 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 Companys 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 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively: a risk-free interest rate of 4.07% in 2004, 3.50% in 2003 and 3.40% in 2002; an expected dividend yield of 0% each year; an average volatility factor of the expected market price of the Companys common stock over the expected life of the options of 1.131 in 2004, 1.056 in 2003 and 1.219 in 2002; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of between 5.75 years and 7.25 years.
Retirement Plan
The Company has a qualified 401(k) plan for employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company contributes up to 2% of an employees cash compensation depending on the employees contribution percentage. Company contributions to the 401(k) plan were $295, $290 and $294 during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
9. Subsequent Event
In January 2005, the Company determined that, due primarily to a deterioration in the days sales outstanding in its accounts receivable and a consequent reduction in liquidity, it should conserve its cash and not pay the balance outstanding on its Notes by March 31, 2005, the expiration date of the waiver granted by CapitalSource on March 30, 2004. Accordingly, effective March 7, 2005, the Company obtained from CapitalSource an extension of its waiver through December 31, 2005. Also effective March 7, 2005, the Note holders agreed in writing to extend their original agreement dated March 24, 2004 to not pursue any remedies related to the failure of the Company to pay the Notes when due from March 31, 2005 to December 31, 2005.
