NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Conmed”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires) contained herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared annually in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this report should, therefore, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2010.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) which are considered necessary to fairly present our financial position and our results of operations as of and for these periods have been made.

Our interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for a full year.

In January 2010, we purchased approximately $45,000 and $102,000 of fixed assets and intangible assets, respectively, from a small mobile imaging company to expand the base of services that we provide to our customers, as such services were previously subcontracted. This acquisition did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations and therefore additional proforma information has not been presented.

NOTE 2.

New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The update provides amendments to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820-10, Fair Value, which requires entities to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, the update requires entities to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The disclosures related to Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements became effective for us in 2010 and the disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for us in 2011. The update requires new disclosures and will have no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3.

Common Stock Options

The Board of Directors has adopted, and our stockholders have approved, the 2007 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of up to 2,350,000 incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units. The 2007 Plan is administered by the independent members of the Board of Directors, which has the authority and discretion to determine: the persons to whom the options will be granted; when the options will be granted; the number of shares subject to each option; the price at which the shares subject to each option may be purchased; and when each option will become exercisable. The options generally vest over three to four years and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded stock-based compensation expense net of reversals for forfeited options totaling $159,431 and $159,269, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, options were granted to purchase 76,000 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $3.13 per share and an average grant date fair value of $2.15 per share. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, options to purchase 3,750 shares of common stock were forfeited, options to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock were cancelled and, as of March 31, 2010, 259,583 shares remain available for grant.

As of March 31, 2010, stock based compensation expense not yet recognized in income totaled $845,920, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.03 years.

NOTE 5.

Fair Value of Warrants

As a result of adopting derivative accounting for warrants, effective January 1, 2009, 1,705,000 of our issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity were no longer afforded equity treatment. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and all changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, amended or expire.

NOTE 6.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to disclose the fair value measurements required by the fair value measurement guidance. The derivative financial instruments recorded at fair value in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.

The following tables summarize the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

	As of March 31, 2010
	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Derivative financial instruments	$	1,343,134	$	—	$	—	$	1,343,134

	As of December 31, 2009
	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Derivative financial instruments	$	1,299,450	$	—	$	—	$	1,299,450

Equity-linked financial instruments consist of stock warrants issued by the Company that contain a strike price adjustment feature. In accordance with derivative accounting for warrants, we calculated the fair value of warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used are described in Note 5, “Fair Value of Warrants”. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recognized a $43,684 unrealized loss and an $866 unrealized gain, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the financial instruments which is included in Other Income on the Statement of Operations.

The following table reflects the activity for liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31:

Common stock warrants and options outstanding totaling 343,750 and 3,049,898 shares, respectively, are not included in diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as they would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.

NOTE 8.

Income Tax Matters

Our effective tax rates were 48.8% and 50.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which differs from the expected tax rate of 39.0% primarily due to permanent differences related to stock-based compensation and derivatives related to warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $270,300 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded income tax expense of $121,000.

General

We provide healthcare services to county and municipal detention centers across the United States. As a result of the Supreme Court decision in Estelle v. Gamble (1976), all individuals held against their will are required to be provided with community standard healthcare. Under this requirement, correctional institutions are required to provide healthcare services for their inmates. We are a specialist in the provision of these services, having provided correctional healthcare services since 1984. We began providing correctional healthcare services in the State of Maryland, and currently serve county and municipal correctional facilities in thirty-eight counties in seven states: Arizona, Kansas, Maryland, Oklahoma, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Our services have expanded to include mental health, pharmacy and out-of-facility healthcare services.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim periods and require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related medical expense accruals and amortization and potential impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and stock-based compensation expense. As these are condensed consolidated financial statements, one should also read expanded information about our critical accounting policies and estimates provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2010. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Net income was $283,641 or 1.9% of revenue compared to a net income of $118,190 or 1.0% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which represented increased income of $165,451.

Revenue

The addition of service contracts signed with new jurisdictions since January 1, 2009 accounted for $1,527,844 or 65.5% of the increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period for the prior year. These jurisdictions are as follows: Clark County, WA; Coos County, OR; Creek County, OK; Garrett County, MD; Kittitas County, WA; Pima County (Juvenile), AZ; Washington County, MD; and Western Virginia Regional Jail, VA. Revenue improvement totaling $464,601, or 19.9% of the increase, resulted primarily from expansion of the services provided under a number of our existing contracts in which we were providing services prior to 2009. Price increases related to existing service requirements totaled $293,739 or 12.6% of the revenue increase. The remainder of revenue improvement, $46,546 or 2.0% of the increase, was the result of increases in other volume related activities, primarily associated with an increase in stop/loss reimbursements due to higher out of facility medical expenditures in excess of stop/loss limits billed back to counties.

Healthcare Expenses

Salaries and employee benefits

Salaries and employee benefits for healthcare employees were $8,215,300 or 55.7% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $6,987,854 or 56.3% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in spending for salaries and employee benefits of $1,227,446 or 17.6% is due primarily to the addition of new healthcare employees resulting from new business. Approximately 76.0% of the increase related to new healthcare employees required to support the staffing requirements for our new medical service contracts as detailed above. Additional services related to previously existing medical service contracts, as well as cost-of-living and wage and benefit adjustments for existing employees accounted for the remainder of the increase. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits as a percentage of revenue is due to a change in the mix of expense for salaries and benefits. In addition to providing staffing services, the new service contracts primarily include responsibility for medical services both in and out of the facility as well as pharmacy services, resulting in a lower ratio of salaries and employee benefits to revenue.

Medical expenses

Medical expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $3,139,742 or 21.3% of revenue and $2,381,933 or 19.2% of revenue, respectively, which represented an increase of $757,809 or 31.8%. The increase in spending for medical expenses in absolute dollars reflects increases primarily from new contracts for medical services both in and out of the facility plus increased expenditures for pharmacy services. The increase in spending as a percentage of revenue results, in part, from the new service contracts added since January 1, 2009 that are primarily full service contracts and, as a result, included a higher proportion of medical expense when compared to existing contracts. In addition, out of facility hospital expenses were higher than the prior year, reflecting a return to normal spending levels, due to lower than normal hospitalization days in the first three months of 2009.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses were $494,713, or 3.4% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $384,205, or 3.1% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase of $110,508 in spending is primarily related to the increase in the number of inmates served as a result of the new service contracts and reflects increased spending for consulting, professional liability insurance, office supplies and travel expenses partially offset by a reduction in employment advertising.

Operating Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $2,003,131 or 13.6% of revenue and $1,815,527 or 14.6% of revenue, respectively. The increased expenditure of $187,604 primarily reflects an increased investment in additional management and administrative personnel required to support new contracts and services added in 2009 and 2010. The reduction in spending as a percentage of revenue resulted from improved economies of scale. Stock based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $159,431 and $159,269, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization primarily reflects the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of Conmed, Inc. in January 2007, the purchase of medical service contracts from Emergency Medicine Documentation Consultants, P.C. (“EMDC”) in February 2008 and the acquisition of CMHS in November 2008. Amortization of service contracts acquired was $153,000, or 1.0% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $494,000, or 4.0% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease primarily reflects a decrease in amortization expense as certain individual service contracts acquired have become fully amortized. Amortization of non-compete agreements was $97,111, or 0.7% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $97,000, or 0.8% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Depreciation expense increased to $69,418 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $43,821 for the prior year period due primarily to capital expenditures associated with vehicle purchases as well as purchases of medical equipment and computers at various facilities.

Interest income

Interest income was $18,069 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $28,628 for the same period in 2009. Average cash balances in the first quarter of 2010 were higher compared to the first quarter of 2009, however the lower interest income reflects reduced short-term interest rates during the period.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the first quarter decreased to $0 in 2010 compared to $5,205 in the same period in 2009.

Gain (loss) on fair value of derivatives

As a result of adopting derivative accounting for warrants effective January 1, 2009, 1,705,000 of our issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity were no longer afforded equity treatment and as a result they are now recorded as a liability based on fair value estimates. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and all changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, amended or expire.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recognized a $43,684 unrealized loss and an $866 unrealized gain, respectively. The increased expense of $44,550 was the result of the increase in the estimated fair value of the warrants primarily due to the $0.13 increase in our common stock from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 compared to no change in our common stock price from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, no warrants were exercised. As of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding warrants subject to derivative accounting to purchase an aggregate of 718,097 shares of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock were exercised generating $6,000 of net proceeds and having an aggregate fair value of $38,924 on the exercise dates. As of March 31, 2009, we had outstanding warrants subject to derivative accounting to purchase an aggregate of 1,685,000 shares of common stock.

The following table summarizes the change in fair value for the three months ended March 31:

	2010		2009
Fair value of warrants outstanding as of January 1	$	1,299,450	$	2,766,150
Realized loss on warrants		—		—
Unrealized (gain) loss on warrants		43,684		(866	)
Fair value of warrants transferred to equity upon amendment		—		—
Fair value of warrants exercised		—		(38,924	)
Fair value of warrants outstanding as of March 31	$	1,343,134	$	2,726,360

See Note 5, “Fair Value of Warrants”, for additional information on the warrant activity subject to fair value accounting for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Income tax expense

Our effective tax rates were 48.8% and 50.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which differs from the expected tax rate of 39.0% primarily due to permanent differences related to stock-based compensation and derivatives related to warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $270,300 compared to $121,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in income tax expense is primarily attributable to the increase in income before income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financing is generally provided by funds generated from our operating activities.

Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009

Cash as of March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 was $11,691,498 and $8,285,126, respectively. We believe that our existing cash balances and anticipated cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements and liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $847,863, reflecting a net income of $283,641 plus $517,644 in adjustments for non-cash expenses such as amortization of $250,111, stock-based compensation of $159,431 and other non-cash expenses of $108,102. Changes in working capital components generated an additional $46,578, reflective of increases in accounts payable of $216,127 and accrued expenses of $604,425, as well as a decrease in prepaid expenses of $247,868 partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $593,799 and decreases in income taxes payable of $340,217 and other working capital components of $87,826. The increase in accounts payable resulted primarily from the timing of vendor payments in relation to quarter end. The increase in accrued expenses resulted primarily from the addition of new healthcare employees required to support the increased staffing requirements from our new medical service contracts in addition to the wage accrual covering one additional day as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009 partially offset by a reduction in accrued medical expenses and a reduction in other corporate expense accruals. The decrease in income taxes payable resulted primarily from the payment of scheduled estimated taxes partially offset by accruals of estimated taxes payable. The decrease in prepaid expenses resulted primarily from a reduction in prepaid professional liability insurance. We prepaid our primary annual professional liability insurance policy in October 2009 and we expense the prepaid amounts ratably from the annual policy period of October through September. The increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from new medical service contracts added in 2010 as well as an increase in receivables for medical expenditures in excess of stop/loss limits.

Cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $950,814, reflecting a net income of $118,190 plus $793,224 in adjustments for non-cash expenses such as amortization of $591,000 and stock-based compensation of $159,269. Changes in working capital components generated an additional $39,400, reflective of increases in accrued expenses of $338,422 and accounts payable of $272,945, as well as a decrease in prepaid expenses of $152,578 partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $550,009 and a decrease in income taxes payable of $253,097. The increase in accrued expenses resulted primarily from the addition of new healthcare employees required to support the increased staffing requirements from our new medical service contracts in addition to the wage accrual covering six additional days as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008 partially offset by a reduction in accrued medical expenses and a reduction in other corporate expense accruals. The increase in accounts payable resulted primarily from the timing of vendor payments in relation to quarter end. The decrease in income taxes payable resulted primarily from the payment of scheduled estimated taxes partially offset by accruals of estimated taxes payable. The increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from Pima County’s payment being received after March 31, 2009. The decrease in prepaid expenses resulted primarily from a reduction in prepaid professional liability insurance.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flow from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 used $212,508. Purchases of property and equipment used $65,240 primarily for purchases of vehicles, computers and medical equipment. The purchase of all of the assets of a small mobile imaging company used $147,268.

Cash flow from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 used $25,813, primarily for purchases of computers and medical equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flow from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 used cash of $0.

Cash flow from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 used cash of $112,015. Payments on the line of credit were $100,000 and payment on loans were $18,015 which was partially offset by proceeds from warrant exercises of $6,000.

Loans

As of March 31, 2010, we had no outstanding loans.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are required to provide performance and payment guarantee bonds to county governments under certain contracts. As of March 31, 2010, we have three performance bonds totaling $8,042,424 and two payment bonds for $2,855,537, totaling $10,897,961. The surety issuing the bonds has recourse against our assets in the event the surety is required to honor the bonds.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents our expected cash requirements for contractual obligations outstanding as of March 31, 2010:

	Total		Current		2 – 3 Years		4 – 5 Years		Thereafter
Equipment Leases	$	109,862	$	47,207	$	58,804	$	3,851	$	—
Automobile Leases		31,977		27,158		4,819		—		—
Office Space Leased		426,469		158,327		268,142		—		—
Total Contractual Cash Obligations	$	568,308	$	232,692	$	331,765	$	3,851	$	—

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation and changing prices over the past three years have had a significant impact on our revenue or results of operations.

Potential Future Service Contract Revenue

As of March 31, 2010, we have entered into 60 agreements with county governments to provide medical and healthcare services primarily to county and municipal correctional facilities. Most of these contracts are for multiple years and include option renewal periods which are, in all cases, at the county's option. The original terms of the contracts are from one to nine years. These medical service contracts have potential future service contract revenue of $187 million as of March 31, 2010, with a weighted-average term of 4.1 years, of which approximately $65 million relates to the initial contract period and approximately $122 million relates to the option renewal periods.
