REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To:	The Stockholders and Board of Directors

Dynacq Healthcare, Inc.

Houston, Texas

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dynacq Healthcare, Inc., as of May 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2010 and 2009. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

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

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Dynacq Healthcare, Inc., as of August 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein, and in our report dated November 23, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2009, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

May 31, 2010

(Reviewed)

Basis of Presentation

Except where otherwise stated or indicated by context, references to “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Dynacq Healthcare, Inc. and its affiliates. The terms “affiliates” means direct and indirect subsidiaries of Dynacq Healthcare, Inc. and partnership and joint ventures in which subsidiaries are general or limited partners or members. The accompanying reviewed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The majority of the Company’s expenses are “cost of revenue” items. Costs that could be classified as general and administrative by the Company would include the corporate office costs, including advertising and marketing expenses, which were approximately $1.7 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $7.2 million and $8.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These reviewed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements at August 31, 2009. Operating results for the quarter ended May 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2010.

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year period’s presentation. The impact of such reclassification was not significant to the prior year period’s overall presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Investments Available-for-Sale

The Company has invested in various bonds. These investments are classified as available-for-sale securities, and are carried at fair value as of May 31, 2010, based on the quoted market prices as of that date. These investments are subject to default risk. The Company intends to hold these for a minimum period of an additional 12 months. Unrealized gains in the fair value are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related income tax effect. The Company regularly monitors its investment portfolio for any decline in fair value that is other than temporary and records any such impairment as an impairment loss.

Investment in Real Estate and Note Payable

In March 2010, the Company purchased an apartment in Hong Kong as an investment for $2,014,207. The Company obtained an 18-year mortgage loan of $1,245,775 from a financial institution, with a variable interest rate at the lower of 3-month Hang Seng Interbank Offered Rates plus 0.7% or 2.9% below the Hong Kong Dollar best lending rate quoted by the financial institution. The effective interest rate at May 31, 2010 was 0.849%. The Company has paid down $10,684 during the quarter ended May 31, 2010 and the current and long-term portions of the note payable as of May 31, 2010 are $64,421 and $1,170,670, respectively. For the quarter ended May 31, 2010, depreciation expense was $10,760.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by use of the average cost method.

General

As of May 31, 2010, the Company operated one facility each in the Houston metropolitan area (Pasadena facility) and in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (Garland facility) and owned 100% of the equity interest in Dynacq Huai Bei Healthcare, Inc. (“Dynacq-Huai Bei”), a corporation formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China to provide healthcare management services in that country. On March 1, 2009, Dynacq-Huai Bei began managing Second People’s Hospital in Rui An, China, and included operating results since November 25, 2008.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant of the Company’s estimates is the determination of revenue to recognize for the services the Company provides and the determination of the contractual allowance. See “Revenue Recognition” below for further discussion. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding with the number of shares used in the computations of net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share:

 

		Three months ended May 31,				Nine months ended May 31,
		2010		2009		2010		2009
Number of weighted average common shares outstanding		14,196,141		15,521,489		14,731,232		15,540,389
Assumed exercise of stock options		—		199,363		—		241,400
Average diluted shares outstanding		14,196,141		15,720,852		14,731,232		15,781,789

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options determined using the treasury stock method. However, if it is anti-dilutive, the dilutive effect of the stock options is not included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share. Stock options with exercise prices exceeding current market prices that were excluded from the computation of net income (loss) per share amounted to approximately 620,000 shares and 575,000 shares for the quarters ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company’s 2000 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for options and other stock-based awards that may be granted to eligible employees, officers, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company had reserved 5,000,000 shares of common stock for future issuance under the Plan. As of May 31, 2010, there remain 1,440,154 shares which can be issued under the Plan, after giving effect to stock splits and shares issued under the Plan. The Plan permits stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other stock-based awards, all of which may or may not be subject to the achievement of one or more performance objectives.

The purposes of the Plan generally are to retain and attract persons of training, experience and ability to serve as employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and to serve as non-employee directors of the Company, to encourage the sense of proprietorship of such persons and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The Committee has the power to determine which eligible participants will receive awards, the timing and manner of the grant of such awards, the exercise price of stock options (which may not be less than market value on the date of grant), the number of shares, and all of the terms of the awards. The Company may at any time amend or terminate the Plan. However, no amendment that would impair the rights of any participant with respect to outstanding grants can be made without the participant’s prior consent. Stockholder approval of an amendment to the Plan is necessary only when required by applicable law or stock exchange rules.

For the quarter ended May 31, 2010, there were no equity-based compensation awards granted. Generally, options granted become exercisable in annual installments of 25 percent beginning on the first anniversary date, and expire after five to ten years. The following table summarizes the stock option activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 (share amounts in thousands):

 

		Shares			Weighted Average Option Exercise Price Per Share			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share		Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1)
Outstanding, August 31, 2009		1,376			$	3.47		—		$	713,300
Granted		—				—		—			—
Exercised		(36	)			2.50		—			57,259
Expired or canceled		(33	)			2.86		—			—
Outstanding, May 31, 2010		1,307			$	3.51		—		$	108,481

 

(1)

These amounts represent the difference between the exercise price and $2.67, the closing price of Dynacq common stock on May 31, 2010 as reported on the NASDAQ stock market, for all in-the-money options outstanding. For exercised options, intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price and the closing price of Dynacq common stock on the date of exercise.

For the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company received $89,688 and $3,750, respectively, for stock options exercised. Total tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from stock options exercised was $9,000 and $-0- for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The following summarizes information related to stock options outstanding at May 31, 2010, and related weighted average price and life information:

 

		Options Outstanding							Options Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices		Shares		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price			Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
		(Share Amounts In Thousands)
$ 2.50 – 2.75		738		3.1		$	2.53		338		$	2.54
$ 4.44 – 5.10		569		3.0			4.78		494			4.73
Total		1,307		3.0		$	3.51		832		$	3.84

In July 2008, a performance share award was granted by the Compensation Committee to an employee whereby the employee could have earned up to 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock if certain operating performance criteria were met. In connection with renegotiation of this employee’s arrangements with the Company, this performance award was cancelled effective as of July 15, 2010. Such shares are not reflected in the above tables for stock option activities and stock options outstanding.

Additional information relating to the Plan at May 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009 is as follows (in thousands):

 

		May 31, 2010		August 31, 2009
Options exercisable		832		881
Options available for grant and reserved common stock shares for stock option plans		1,440		1,407

For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2010, stock-based compensation expense associated with the Company’s stock options was $112,879 and $338,637, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding stock options as of May 31, 2010 was $557,000, and will be recognized, in general, over 1.4 years. The weighted average number of years to recognize the compensation expense is nine months.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On September 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC Topic 825-10-25, “Financial Instruments” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities (“SFAS 159”)), which permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The adoption of ASC Topic 825-10-25 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements because the Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities that were not already recorded at fair value.

On September 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (formerly referred to as SFAS 157) for our financial assets and liabilities. Management uses the fair value hierarchy of ASC Topic 820, which gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of financial instruments is estimated based on market trading information, where available. Absent published market values for an instrument or other assets, management uses observable market data to arrive at its estimates of fair value. Management believes that the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2		Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted price for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other input that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to fair value disclosure requirements. The new guidance resulted in a change in the Company’s accounting policy effective March 1, 2010. Under this guidance, companies will be required to make additional disclosures concerning significant transfers of amounts between the Level 1 and Level 2 fair value disclosures, as well as further disaggregation of the types of activity that were previously disclosed in the rollforward of Level 3 fair value disclosures. Further, the guidance clarifies the level of aggregation of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy that may be presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2010, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy:

 

		Fair Value Measurements at May 31, 2010
		Quoted prices in active markets for identical		Significant other observable inputs			Significant unobservable

All of the Company’s investments in securities are in perpetual bonds traded on the European markets. The cost of these securities is $9,135,146.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company as a whole is the U.S. Dollar. The Company has designated the Chinese Yuan Renminbi as the functional currency for its subsidiaries in mainland China, and the U.S. Dollar for Sino Bond Inc. Limited in Hong Kong. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expense are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.

Revenue Recognition

U.S. Division

Background

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is significant because net patient service revenue is a primary component of its results of operations. Revenue is recognized as services are delivered. The determination of the amount of revenue to be recognized in connection with the Company’s services is subject to significant judgments and estimates, which are discussed below.

Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company has established billing rates for its medical services which it bills as gross revenue as services are delivered. Gross billed revenues are then reduced by the Company’s estimate of the discount (contractual allowance) to arrive at net patient service revenues. Net patient service revenues may not represent amounts ultimately collected. The Company does adjust current period revenue for actual differences in estimated revenue recorded in prior periods and actual cash collections.

Contractual Allowance

Starting March 1, 2008, the Company computes its contractual allowance based on the estimated collections on its gross billed charges. The Company computes its estimate by taking into account collections received, up to 30 days after the end of the period, for the services performed and also estimating amounts collectible within the next six months. Prior to March 1, 2008, the contractual allowance was calculated based on the ratio of the Company’s historical cash collections during the trailing twelve months on a case-by-case basis by operating facility. This ratio of cash collections to billed services was then applied to the gross billed services by operating facility. The following table shows gross revenues and contractual allowances for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009:

 

		Three months ended May 31,								Nine months ended May 31,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Gross billed charges		$	15,618,481			$	27,381,775			$	67,333,377			$	104,051,423
Contractual allowance			11,249,116				15,554,717				48,820,783				68,557,807

Except for emergency room patients, surgeries at our facilities are typically pre-certified or pre-authorized by the insurance carriers. A majority of the surgeries are either covered by workers’ compensation insurance or by commercial insurers on an out-of-network health plan basis. We currently participate in a small number of managed care contracts.

A significant amount of our net revenue results from Texas workers’ compensation claims, which are governed by the rules and regulations of the Texas Department of Workers’ Compensation (“TDWC”) and the workers’ compensation healthcare networks. If one of our hospitals chooses to participate in a network, the amount of revenue that will be generated from workers’ compensation claims will be governed by the network contract.

For claims arising prior to the implementation of workers’ compensation networks and out of network claims, inpatient and outpatient surgical services are either reimbursed pursuant to the Acute Care In-Patient Hospital Fee Guideline or at a “fair and reasonable” rate for services in which the fee guideline is not applicable. Starting March 1, 2008, the Texas Workers’ Compensation 2008 Acute Care Hospital Outpatient and Inpatient Facility Fee Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) became effective. Under these Guidelines, the reimbursement amounts are determined by applying the most recently adopted and effective Medicare reimbursement formula and factors; however, if the maximum allowable reimbursement for the procedure performed cannot be calculated using these Guidelines, then reimbursement is determined on a fair and reasonable basis.

Based on these Guidelines, the reimbursement due the Company for workers’ compensation cases is lower than we previously experienced. The Company has continued accepting Texas workers’ compensation cases, and has not made any substantial changes in its focus towards such cases. Our net patient service revenue for Texas workers’ compensation cases as a percentage of gross billings has decreased primarily as a result of lower reimbursement rates for workers’ compensation procedures still being performed.

Should we disagree with the amount of reimbursement provided by a third-party payer, we are required to pursue the medical dispute resolution (“MDR”) process at the TDWC to request proper reimbursement for services. From January 2007 to November 2008, the Company had been successful in its pursuit of collections regarding the stop-loss cases pending before the State Office of Administrative Hearings (“SOAH”), receiving positive rulings in over 90% of its claims presented for administrative determination. The 2007 district court decision upholding our interpretation of the statute as applied to the stop-loss claims was appealed by certain insurance carriers, and on November 13, 2008, the Third Court of Appeals determined that in order for a hospital to be reimbursed at 75% of its usual and customary audited charges for an inpatient admission, the hospital must not only bill at least $40,000, but also show that the admission involved unusually costly and unusually extensive services. Procedurally, the decision means that each case where a carrier raised an issue regarding whether the services provided were unusually costly or unusually extensive would be remanded to either SOAH or MDR for a case-by-case determination of whether the services provided meet these standards, once the definitions of those standards are determined. As a result of the Third Court of Appeals opinion, any stop-loss cases pending at SOAH have been remanded to the TDWC since these cases have not been reviewed or decided by the two-prong standard decided by the Third Court of Appeals. The SOAH Administrative Law judges determined that the most appropriate location for these cases is the TDWC, pending a final, non-appealable decision.

A petition asking the Texas Supreme Court to review the Third Court of Appeals decision has been denied by the Texas Supreme Court. A Motion for Rehearing of Denial of Petition for Review has been filed and is pending. Because the Texas Supreme Court has affirmed the Third Court of Appeals decision, final adjudication in these pending stop-loss cases will depend on the uncertain outcome of a very lengthy process. We anticipate further, lengthy litigation at the Travis County District Courts and the Texas Courts of Appeals to establish the legal definition of unusually costly and unusually extensive services. Because of this lengthy process and the uncertainty of recovery in these cases, collection of a material amount of funds in these pending stop-loss cases is not anticipated during the 2010 fiscal year nor possibly during the 2011 fiscal year.

Through May 2010, insurance carriers have voluntarily paid the awards in the decisions and orders issued by SOAH, plus interest, in approximately 180 cases, involving approximately $11 million in claims. In most of these cases, the carriers have requested refunds of the payments made in the event that the SOAH decisions and orders are reversed on appeal. We believe the likelihood that the Company will be obligated to refund the payments is remote. Our request that the TDWC Commissioner enforce the awards which have not been voluntarily paid by the carriers has been refused in approximately 130 cases.

Claims regarding payment for hospital outpatient services remain pending at the TDWC. It is expected that these claims will be adjudicated at SOAH and ultimately in the Texas district and appellate courts. The basis for reimbursement for these services made the subject of these pending cases is the determination of “fair and reasonable” charges. In 2007, we received unfavorable rulings from SOAH in all of our appeals of unfavorable decisions related to services provided in 2001 and 2002. The 179 cases, which have been appealed to the Travis County district courts, challenge the constitutionality of the relevant statutory language. The Company received an unfavorable ruling in its lead case in March 2009, which ruling has been appealed to the Third Court of Appeals. If upheld by the Texas Court of Appeal, this ruling will impact cases in which a fee guideline was not applicable, specifically all pending cases involving ambulatory surgical services provided in 2001 and 2002 as well as all pending cases involving hospital outpatient services provided prior to March 1, 2008, when the Guidelines took effect. Probability of collection in these cases is marginal and depends on the rulings of the Third Court of Appeals.

We are currently pursuing claims against two healthcare agents relating to contracts with certain of our facilities which set out reimbursement guidelines by several workers’ compensation carriers at a minimum of 70% of the facility’s charges. Discovery is continuing on these claims to determine which carriers are involved, the amount of reimbursement due to us, and the data used to determine “usual and customary” market rates for medical services in specific geographic regions.

Due to the uncertainties regarding the accounts receivable in the MDR process, the 2008 Third Court of Appeals’ opinion and our legal counsel’s advice that settlements with insurance carriers have virtually stopped, the Company has fully reserved all accounts receivable related to the MDR process as of August 31, 2008. Any monies collected for these MDR accounts receivable will be recorded as current period’s net patient service revenues.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent net receivables for services provided by the Company. Due to reasons discussed above for fully reserving all MDR accounts receivable, the Company does not have any long term receivables since August 31, 2008. At each balance sheet date management reviews the accounts receivable for collectibility.

The contractual allowance stated as a percentage of gross receivables at the balance sheet dates is larger than the contractual allowance percentage used to reduce gross billed charges due to the application of partial cash collections to the outstanding gross receivable balances, without any adjustment being made to the contractual allowance. The contractual allowance amounts netted against gross receivables are not adjusted until such time as the final collections on an individual receivable are recognized.

China Division

Revenue Recognition Policy

In China, the local government Department of Health establishes billing rates for a hospital’s sale of prescription medication and medical services. A majority of the services provided by Second People’s Hospital is to cash pay patients, who pay for the services in advance. For services provided under the local government’s social healthcare insurance program, we are generally paid at approximately 95% of billed charges two to three months after the date of service. For the current year, however, receipt of these payments has been delayed due to our acquisition of the management of Second People’s Hospital from its prior managers in March 2009. The remaining 5% of billed charges is evaluated by the local government Department of Health on a semi-annual basis and may be paid to the hospital after that evaluation is complete. The Company had bad debt expenses of $1,815 and $-0- for the three months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $11,812 and $-0- for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to denials under the social healthcare insurance program. Since the amount of bad debt expense is minimal, it has been included with other operating expenses in the income statement.

Noncontrolling Interest

The equity of minority investors (minority investors are generally physician groups and other healthcare providers that perform surgeries at the Company’s facilities) in certain subsidiaries of the Company is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest reported in the consolidated income statements reflects the respective interests in the income or loss of the limited partnerships or limited liability companies attributable to the minority investors (equity interest ranged from 1.75% to 2.35% at May 31, 2010).

Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) represents certain components of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are included in comprehensive income (loss), but are excluded from net income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity, net of tax, and for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

Contingencies

The Company maintains various insurance policies that cover each of its U.S. facilities; including occurrence medical malpractice coverage. In addition, all physicians granted privileges at the Company’s U.S. facilities are required to maintain medical malpractice insurance coverage. The Company also maintains general liability and property insurance coverage for each U.S. facility, including flood coverage. The Company does not currently maintain workers’ compensation coverage in Texas. In regard to the Employee Health Insurance Plan, the Company is self-insured with specific and aggregate re-insurance with stop-loss levels appropriate for the Company’s group size. Coverage is maintained in amounts management deems adequate.

The management agreement for the Second People’s Hospital requires that 1% of the drug income, and drug income in excess of 40% of total sales, of the hospital be paid to the government. This requirement was designed to control the cost of drugs by discouraging the sale by the hospital of drugs purchased from other than approved drug vendors. However, the local government has not published a list of approved drug vendors and therefore has not enforced the payment provision since the inception of the original management agreement. The Company has been advised by a local attorney that enforcement of that provision is remote, so it has not accrued the amount that would be payable to the local government if this provision were enforced. If the government were to enforce this provision, Dynacq-Huai Bei could potentially owe approximately $1.3 million to the government for the period of time since inception of the original management contract on the hospital.

The Company is routinely involved in litigation and administrative proceedings that are incidental to its business. Specifically, all judicial review of unsatisfactory determinations of reimbursement amounts due us for our Texas facilities’ fees must be made in the district courts of Travis County, Texas in what can often be a lengthy procedure. Please refer to Revenue Recognition above, as well as Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Revenue Recognition – U.S. Division – Contractual Allowance in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, for a detailed description of the MDR process and certain of our accounts receivable. The Company cannot predict whether any litigation or administrative proceeding to which it is currently a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Industry Segments and Geographic Information

We manage our operations through two operating segments, based on our geographic areas: U.S. and China, and have a general corporate division.

U.S. Division

The U.S. Division owns two hospitals, which are the Pasadena facility and the Garland facility. Our U.S. Division develops and operates general acute care hospitals designed to handle specialized surgeries such as bariatric, orthopedic and neuro-spine surgeries. Both of these facilities also provide pain management services, as well as minor emergency treatment services. The Pasadena facility also provides sleep laboratory services.

China Division

Our China Division is set up to provide healthcare management services in China. It includes results of operations for managing Second People’s Hospital in Rui An, China, since November 25, 2008.

Dynacq-Huai Bei will manage the Third People’s Hospital in Rui An upon completion of construction of that hospital, which is expected in calendar year 2010.

The Company has organized Sino Bond Inc. Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Sino Bond”), to hold and manage investments in Hong Kong. Sino Bond has terminated with effect from April 30, 2010 its previous three-year marketing contract effective October 1, 2008 for marketing of healthcare services to be provided by Dynacq subsidiaries in China and Southeast Asia. With effect as of June 1, 2010, Sino Bond has entered into a new three-year marketing contract with a different entity for marketing of healthcare services to be provided by Dynacq subsidiaries in China and Southeast Asia.

In August 2009 the Company organized Hu GangJing (Hang Zhou) Technology Co. Ltd. (“Hang Zhou Tech”) under the laws of the People’s Republic of China for the purpose of forming joint ventures to invest in companies in China engaged in businesses such as energy production, life sciences and pharmaceuticals. Hang Zhou Tech is not currently actively pursuing any joint ventures.

In March 2010 the Company organized Shanghai HuJin Investment Management Ltd Inc (“Shanghai HuJin”) under the laws of the People’s Republic of China for the purpose of directly engaging in businesses in China such as brokering the sale of coal and other activities.

Corporate Division

The Company has invested in available-for-sale securities which will be held until the Company is able to identify and fund attractive opportunities to acquire or manage operating companies in China and Southeast Asia. Our corporate division includes interest and other income related to these investments in available-for-sale securities, corporate personnel compensation expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Such expenses and income are not allocated to our operating divisions, as they relate to our general corporate activities.

We generally evaluate performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes and non-recurring charges and other criteria. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. There are no transfers between operating segments.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2009

U.S. Division

Net patient service revenue decreased by $7,457,693, or 63%, from $11,827,058 to $4,369,365, and total surgical cases decreased by 35% from 640 cases in 2009 to 416 cases in 2010. Following are the percentage changes in net patient service revenues and number of cases at the hospital facilities:

 

		Percentage decrease from 2009 to 2010
Facility		Net patient revenue			Cases
Pasadena		(59	)%		(38	)%
Garland		(66	)		(30	)
Overall		(63	)		(35	)

The decrease in net patient service revenue was due to an overall decrease in number of cases by 35% in 2010 compared to 2009. While the number of cases and the gross billed charges decreased by 35% and 43%, respectively, net patient service revenue decreased 63% due to an increase in the contractual allowance as a percentage of gross billed charges. The contractual allowance increased from 57% of gross billed charges for the quarter ended May 31, 2009 to 72% of gross billed charges for the quarter ended May 31, 2010, due to a change in the surgical mix of cases and lower reimbursements, primarily on workers’ compensation cases.

Decreases in net patient revenues and number of cases are generally attributable to the loss of physicians from our medical staffs and to the general economic downturn which resulted in fewer elective surgeries. In Garland, the opening of a new hospital nearby had a direct adverse impact on our ability to retain members of the medical staff at that facility and consequently on our patient volume.

Total costs and expenses decreased by $2,569,497 or 28%, from $9,300,162 in 2009 to $6,730,665 in 2010. The following describes the various changes in costs and expenses:

 

•

Compensation and benefits decreased by $324,244, or 10%, primarily due to lower net patient service revenues.

 

•

Medical services and supplies expenses decreased by $1,026,683, or 45%, and the number of surgery cases decreased by 35%.

 

•

Other operating expenses decreased by $1,182,208, or 35%. Marketing expenses, included in other operating expenses, decreased by $900,000 from $1,500,000 in 2009 to $600,000 in 2010. Other operating expenses, excluding marketing expenses, as a percentage of gross billed charges were 10.0% and 6.8% for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

China Division

Net patient service revenue decreased by $638,627, from $1,177,278 in 2009 to $538,651 in 2010. Total costs and expenses for the China Division decreased by $757,759, from $1,804,930 in 2009 to $1,047,171 in 2010. The contract to manage the Second People’s Hospital in Rui An, China was executed in March 2009, and included operating results since November 25, 2008. As a result, net patient service revenues and costs and expenses for the China Division for the quarter ended May 31, 2009 actually included over six months of operations from November 25, 2008 through May 31, 2009. The comparison of the nine months of operations ended May 31, 2009 with the nine months of operations ended May 31, 2010 more accurately reflects the results of operations of the Second People’s Hospital for the period.

Corporate Division

The Corporate division includes interest and other income related to the investments in available-for-sale securities, corporate personnel compensation expenses and general and administrative expenses. Such expenses and income are not allocated to either of our operating divisions, as they relate to our general corporate activities. Corporate costs and expenses increased marginally by $85,039 from $903,190 in 2009 to $988,229 in 2010. Interest income of $390,769 in 2010 and $461,753 in 2009 relates to the investments in available-for-sale securities, which were purchased at a cost of $9,135,146 and have appreciated in fair value to $20,844,284 as at May 31, 2010. Unrealized gains in these investments of $11,766,590 are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of taxes of $4,118,306.

Nine Months Ended May 31, 2010 Compared to the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2009

U.S. Division

Net patient service revenue decreased by $16,981,022, or 48%, from $35,493,616 to $18,512,594, and total surgical cases decreased by 28% from 2,209 cases in 2009 to 1,599 cases in 2010. Following are the percentage changes in net patient service revenues and number of cases at the hospital facilities:

 

		Percentage decrease from 2009 to 2010
Facility		Net patient revenue			Cases
Pasadena		(29	)%		(14	)%
Garland		(59	)		(41	)
Overall		(48	)		(28	)

The decrease in net patient service revenue was due to an overall decrease in number of cases by 28% in 2010 compared to 2009. There was a decrease of 30% in inpatient cases, which typically have higher average reimbursement per case compared to outpatient cases. While the number of cases and the gross billed charges decreased by 28% and 35%, respectively, net patient service revenue decreased 48% due to an increase in the contractual allowance as a percentage of gross billed charges. The contractual allowance increased from 66% of gross billed charges for the nine months period ended May 31, 2009 to 73% of gross billed charges for the nine months period ended May 31, 2010, due to a change in the surgical mix of cases and lower reimbursements, primarily on workers’ compensation cases.

Decreases in net patient revenues and number of cases are generally attributable to the loss of physicians from our medical staffs and to the general economic downturn which resulted in fewer elective surgeries. In Garland, the opening of a new hospital nearby had a direct adverse impact on our ability to retain members of the medical staff at that facility and consequently on our patient volume.

Total costs and expenses decreased by $5,995,740 or 20%, from $30,452,400 in 2009 to $24,456,660 in 2010. The following describes the various changes in costs and expenses:

 

•

Compensation and benefits decreased by $456,566, or 5%, primarily due to lower net patient service revenues.

 

•

Medical services and supplies expenses decreased by $2,776,864, or 32%, and the number of surgery cases decreased 28%.

 

•

Other operating expenses decreased by $2,453,252, or 22%. Marketing expenses, included in other operating expenses, decreased by $1,231,000 from $4,531,000 in 2009 to $3,300,000 in 2010. Other operating expenses, excluding marketing expenses, as a percentage of gross billed charges were 7.9% and 6.3% for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a detailed discussion of our liquidity, contractual obligations and commitments. The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in that Form 10-K.

Cash flows from operating activities

Total cash flow used in operating activities was $4,054,200 during the period ended May 31, 2010, primarily due to a loss of $6,492,723, decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,255,591, changes in income tax related accounts of $3,350,871, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $5,849,316 and depreciation and amortization of $804,532.

Cash flows from investing activities

Total cash flow used in investing activities was $2,416,264, which included the purchase of an apartment in Hong Kong as an investment for $2,014,207 (subject to a mortgage of $1,245,775) and purchase of equipment for $454,679.

Cash flows from financing activities

Total cash flow used in financing activities was $2,765,563 primarily related to treasury stock purchases of $3,809,174, and payment of $251,131 on the note payable in the class action lawsuit settlement dated October 20, 2006, which is now fully paid. During the current period, the Company obtained an 18-year mortgage loan of $1,245,775 from a financial institution for the purchase of the apartment in Hong Kong discussed above.

The Company had working capital of $30,306,408 as of May 31, 2010, and maintained a liquid position by a current ratio of approximately 4.5 to 1.

We believe we will be able to meet our ongoing liquidity and cash needs for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 through the combination of available cash and cash flow from operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to fair value disclosure requirements. The new guidance resulted in a change in the Company’s accounting policy effective March 1, 2010. Under this guidance, companies will be required to make additional disclosures concerning significant transfers of amounts between the Level 1 and Level 2 fair value disclosures, as well as further disaggregation of the types of activity that were previously disclosed in the rollforward of Level 3 fair value disclosures. Further, the guidance clarifies the level of aggregation of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy that may be presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Effective March 1, 2010, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB on February 24, 2010, to accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued, otherwise known as “subsequent events.” Specifically, these changes clarified that an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with the SEC is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Other than the elimination of disclosing the date through which management has performed its evaluation for subsequent events, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required.

 

Item 4T.

Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation to assess the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2010, our internal disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

The Company is routinely involved in litigation and administrative proceedings that are incidental to its business. Specifically, all judicial review of unsatisfactory determinations of reimbursement amounts due us for our Texas facilities’ fees must be made in the district courts of Travis County, Texas in what can often be a lengthy procedure. Please refer to Revenue Recognition in the notes to the financial statements for the current period, as well as Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Revenue Recognition – U.S. Division – Contractual Allowance in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, for a detailed description of the MDR process and our accounts receivable. The Company cannot predict whether any litigation or administrative proceeding to which it is currently a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
