PET DRX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED, CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited condensed, consolidated financial statements of Pet DRx Corporation and subsidiaries (“Pet DRx,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the condensed, consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation and represent our accounts after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of expected results for a full year.
     The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
     On January 1, 2010, Pet DRx adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to accounting for variable interest entities. These changes require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the solely quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the condensed, consolidated financial statements.
     On January 1, 2010, Pet DRx adopted changes issued by the FASB to accounting for transfers of financial assets. These changes remove the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and remove the exception from the application of variable interest accounting to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities; limit the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; define a participating interest; require a transferor to recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale; and require enhanced disclosure. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the condensed, consolidated financial statements.
     Effective January 1, 2010, Pet DRx adopted changes issued by the FASB on January 6, 2010, for a scope clarification to the FASB’s previously-issued guidance on accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. These changes clarify the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a consolidated subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the condensed, consolidated financial statements.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements, continued
     Effective January 1, 2010, Pet DRx adopted changes issued by the FASB on January 21, 2010, to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity 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. The changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements related to how assets and liabilities should be grouped by class and valuation techniques used for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the condensed, consolidated financial statements.
     Effective January 1, 2010, Pet DRx 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 (see Note 13), the adoption of these changes had no impact on the condensed, consolidated financial statements.
Issued
     In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. These changes require separation of consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy (not the same as fair value) for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price; eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price; require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis; and expand the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These changes become effective for Pet DRx on January 1, 2011. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the condensed, consolidated financial statements, as Pet DRx does not currently have any such arrangements with its customers.
     In January 2010, the FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose, in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). These changes become effective for Pet DRx beginning January 1, 2011. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, management has determined these changes will not have an impact on the condensed, consolidated financial statements.
     In March 2010, the FASB issued changes related to existing accounting requirements for embedded credit derivatives. Specifically, the changes clarify the scope exception regarding when embedded credit derivative features are not considered embedded derivatives subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting. These changes become effective for Pet DRx on July 1, 2010. Management has determined these changes will not have an impact on the condensed, consolidated financial statements.

     In January 2010, the Company completed a sale and leaseback transaction of one of its buildings in California for $1.1 million, net of certain closing costs. The Company simultaneously entered into a five year lease from the buyers. While the Company did not record an impairment charge on the building, it did accelerate depreciation expense on the building, including approximately $0.4 million of additional depreciation expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2010.

(1)   The unamortized debt discount on the long-term obligations was written off to interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. On June 2, 2010, the Company and VCA Antech, Inc., entered into a definitive merger agreement, see Note 12, Merger Agreement, for a more detailed discussion, whereby VCA Antech, Inc., in a two-step transaction will purchase all of the outstanding common shares of the Company. The proceeds from the sale of the Company will first be applied to pay down all, or substantially all, of the Company’s debt; accordingly all debt balances have been classified as current in the condensed, consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010, and debt discount and debt premiums were expensed. In addition, all future payments under long-term obligations as of June 30, 2010 are reflected as to be paid during the remainder of 2010.

     In connection with the 12% Senior Notes, which were issued in the first quarter of 2009, the Company accrued interest on the notes of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 respectively, which was added to the principal of the Senior Notes.
     In accordance with the aforementioned definitive Merger Agreement, see Note 12, any related debt premiums will be paid off at the closing of the equity purchase, as such all remaining premium to be accreted was recorded to accrued interest and interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Also, all unamortized debt discount was fully expensed during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Interest expense charged related to the accretion of the premium was $8.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively, and $9.3 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 2009, respectively. Interest expense charged related to the amortization of the debt discount was $3.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively and $3.5 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.
Amendment to Convertible Note
     On March 29, 2010, one of our note holders amended their note that was issued in connection with the purchase of Valley Animal Medical Clinic effective July 1, 2008 (“2nd Amendment”). The 2nd Amendment delays the maturity date of the principal portion of the note from September 30, 2010 to April 1, 2011 and changes the interest rate owed on the principal portion of the loan from 8% to 10% starting April 1, 2010. Additionally, under the 2nd Amendment, the Company had to pay any outstanding interest accrued and unpaid as of the date of the amendment within five business days of the amendment taking effect.
6. Stockholders’ Equity
     As of June 30, 2010, there were 90,000,000 shares of common stock of Pet DRx authorized, with 23,753,760 shares outstanding. Additionally, 1,361,574 shares of common stock are held as treasury shares. The Company also had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized of which none were outstanding at June 30, 2010.
Common Stock Warrants
     The Company has issued warrants to purchase common shares of the Company either as compensation for consultants and vendors or as additional incentive for investors and lenders. The value of warrants issued for compensation is accounted for as a non-cash expense to the Company at the fair value of the warrants issued. The value of warrants issued in conjunction with financing events is either a reduction in paid-in-capital for common issuances or as a discount for debt issuances. The Company values the warrants at fair value as calculated by using the Modified Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

7. Calculation of Loss Per Common Share
     Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with the FASB’s guidance for earnings per share for all periods posted. Diluted net 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, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shares in the losses of the Company.
     The following stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share since their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):
                 
    Six Months Ended  
    June 30,  
    2010     2009  
Convertible debenture notes, if converted to common stock
    2,654       1,413

     Options and warrants, had they been dilutive, would have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share using the treasury stock method.
     Basic and diluted loss per common share was calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

8. Share-Based Compensation
     Under the 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan (“2004 Plan”), up to 2,255,175 shares of our common stock were eligible to be granted to key employees. The 2004 Plan permitted the issuance of new shares or shares from treasury upon the exercise of options. In January 2008, the Company adopted the Pet DRx 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”), which authorized another 2,700,000 shares of our common stock to be granted as options. On July 28, 2009, at our annual meeting of stockholders, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Plan that increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan by 2,500,000 shares to an aggregate of 5,200,000 shares (the “2007 Amendment”). Our Board of Directors had authorized the termination of the 2004 Plan, which took effect upon the approval and the implementation of the 2007 Amendment. Accordingly, no additional awards may be made under the 2004 Plan; however, the validity of options issued and outstanding under the 2004 Plan as of the termination date will not be affected.
     We classify stock-based compensation in the same expense line items as cash compensation. Information about stock-based compensation included in the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

          2,062     $ 2.15  
 
                     
     In accordance with the Merger Agreement, see Note 12, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding and unexercised stock option, whether or not vested or exercisable, will be cancelled, and each holder of a cancelled option will have the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $0.33523 less the exercise price and any applicable taxes. Options with exercise prices greater than $0.33523 will be cancelled without payment. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010 we accelerated all unvested stock options and recorded approximately $0.3 million as compensation expense.
9. Fair Value
     Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the FASB’s changes of fair valuing our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. We adopted the changes for measuring the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities during 2008. As defined by these changes, fair value is the price 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. We utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. The FASB’s fair value guidance establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
       
  Level 1 —   Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
     
  Level 2 —   Inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and
     
  Level 3 —   Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
     The carrying amount of our cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable reported in the condensed, consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
     The fair value of our debt instruments at June 30, 2010 approximates carrying value as all, or substantially all, of the Company debt is to be paid off using the proceeds from the sale of the Company to VCA Antech, Inc., see Note 12, Merger Agreement, and Note 13, Subsequent Events. Accordingly, all of our debt balances have been classified as current in our condensed, consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010. In addition, approximately $7.7 million of previously unrecorded debt premium has been fully accreted and is included in accrued interest in our condensed, consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010.
10. Contingencies
     On June 15, 2010, a lawsuit, Phaneendra Kondiona vs. Gene Burleson, et al. No. 38538, was filed in connection with the definitive merger agreement between the Company and VCA Antech, Inc.; see Note 12, Merger Agreement. The action, brought by plaintiffs who are purported stockholders of the Company, individually and on behalf of a putative class of stockholders, alleges that the defendant breached fiduciary duties in connection with the approval of the merger. The complaint seeks to enjoin the consummation of the merger, or alternatively, rescission or damages. The Company denies the allegations contained in the complaint, and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in such defense.
     We have certain contingent liabilities resulting from litigation and claims incidental to the ordinary course of our business that we believe will not have a material adverse effect on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

11. Warrant Liabilities
     As a result of adopting certain changes to the FASB’s guidance on embedded features of a convertible debt instrument, 892,070 of our issued and outstanding common stock warrants as of December 31, 2008 that were previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption, were no longer afforded equity treatment. Upon adoption of the change in accounting for the embedded features, we reclassified the fair value of the common stock warrants, which have exercise price reset features, from equity to liabilities as if these warrants had been treated as a derivative liability since their date of issue. On January 1, 2009, as a cumulative effect adjustment, we reduced additional paid-in-capital by $1.9 million, increased beginning accumulated deficit by $1.9 million and recorded $18,000 to a long-term warrant liability to recognize the fair value of such warrants on the date of adoption. Additionally, the Company issued 15,320,986 warrants during the first quarter of 2009, which also qualified as derivative liabilities.
     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized a net gain of $0.2 million and a net loss of $0.6 million, respectively, related to the mark-to-market adjustment of the warrant liabilities. These amounts were recorded in gain/(loss) on change in the fair value of warrant liabilities in the accompanying condensed, consolidated statement of operations. The balance of warrant liabilities as of June 30, 2010 has been classified to current liabilities as the warrants will be cancelled in accordance with the Merger Agreement, see Note 12.
     These warrant liabilities have been measured in accordance with the FASB’s guidance of fair value. The valuation assumptions below are classified within Level 1 inputs. The following table represents the Company’s warrant liability activity:
         
Balance as of December 31, 2009
  $ 2,914  
Mark-to-market adjustment to fair value at March 31, 2010
    770  
 
     
Balance as of March 31, 2010
    3,684  
Mark-to-market adjustment to fair value at June 30, 2010
    (157 )
 
     
Balance as of June 30, 2010
  $ 3,527  
 
     
     These warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants will be recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of warrants at June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:
                         
    June 30,   March 31,   December 31,
    2010   2010   2009
Weighted- average volatility (1)
    28.9 %     28.9 %     29.9 %
Expected dividends
    0.0 %     0.0 %     0.0 %
Expected term (2)
  0.003 years     2.8-7.6 years     3.0-7.8 years  
Risk-free rate (3)
    0.1 %     1.5% - 3.4 %     1.7% - 3.5 %
 
(1)   We estimated the volatility of our common stock on the valuation date based on historical volatility of the common stock of a peer group of public companies as the Company has limited stock price history and it would not be practical to use internal volatility.
 
(2)   The expected term represents the period of time that we expect the warrants to be outstanding. In conjunction with our sale to VCA Antech, Inc., see Note 13, Subsequent Events, all of the outstanding warrants at June 30, 2010 will be cancelled and paid out in accordance with the Merger Agreement, see Note 12, Merger Agreement.
 
(3)   The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield in effect on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with equivalent remaining terms.

12. Merger Agreement
     On June 2, 2010, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Snow Merger Acquisition, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of VCA Antech, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement the buyer will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of VCA Antech, Inc. Upon the closing of the merger the remaining stockholders of the Company will receive cash for each share of Company common stock beneficially owned as of the merger closing in an amount currently estimated to be in the range of $0.34 — $0.36 for each share. Additionally upon the merger closing, each outstanding and unexercised stock option and warrant to purchase Company common stock, whether or not vested or exercisable, will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the per share merger consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of Company common stock. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $0.3 million related to the accelerated stock options.
13. Subsequent Events
     On July 1, 2010, VCA Antech, Inc. (“VCA”) an animal healthcare company in the United States acquired a controlling interest in the Company. Under the merger agreement, see Note 12, Merger Agreement, VCA will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company in a two-step transaction for a total purchase price of $41.3 million, which will be applied first to pay down approximately $28.7 million in debt. Step two of the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2010.

Overview
General
     The Company is a provider of primary and specialty veterinary care services to companion animals through a network of veterinary hospitals. As of June 30, 2010, we owned and operated twenty-three veterinary hospitals located in northern and southern California. Our hospital operations are conducted by our subsidiaries.
     Our hospitals offer a full range of general medical treatment for companion animals, including (i) preventative care, such as vaccinations, examinations, spaying/neutering, and dental care, and (ii) a broad range of specialized diagnostic and medical services, such as x-ray, ultra-sound, internal medicine, surgery, cardiology, ophthalmology, dermatology, oncology, neurology and other services. Our hospitals also sell pharmaceutical products, pet food and pet supplies.
     On July 1, 2010, VCA Antech, Inc. (“VCA”) a leading animal healthcare company in the United States acquired a controlling interest in the Company, see Note 13, Subsequent Events, in our condensed, consolidated financial statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, VCA will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company in a two-step transaction for a total purchase price of $41.3 million. Pursuant to the merger agreement, see Note 12, Merger agreement, in our condensed, consolidated financial statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of VCA Antech, Inc.

Business Strategy
     Our objective is to deliver a broad scope of high-quality services to our customers through a “hub and spoke” network of veterinary hospitals within select local markets. Specifically, we offer, through specialty and emergency hospitals (“hubs”), a wide range of medical, diagnostic and specialty-medical services and use the traditional smaller general practices as “spokes” to feed to the “hub” units patients requiring more specialized services than a general practice is equipped to provide. We pursue the following strategies to achieve our objectives:
    recruit and retain top veterinary professionals;
 
    provide high quality veterinary care to our customers;
 
    increase veterinary hospital visits through advertising, market positioning, consumer education, wellness programs and branding;
 
    increase veterinary hospital margins through same-store revenue growth and cost savings realized through consolidated purchasing arrangements for high volume items such as food and medical supplies and generally lower costs through economies of scale;
 
    increase veterinary hospital productivity through professional development and training, integration of performance data collection systems, application of productivity standards to previously under-managed operations and removal of administrative burdens from veterinary professionals;
 
    pursue acquisitions of additional veterinary hospitals, with a focus on continuing to develop “hub and spoke” networks that will improve customer service; and
 
    capture valuation arbitrage differentials between individual practice value and larger consolidated enterprise value.
Seasonality
     The practice of veterinary medicine is subject to seasonal fluctuation. In particular, demand for veterinary services is slightly higher during the warmer months because pets spend a greater amount of time outdoors where they are more likely to be injured and are more susceptible to disease and parasites. In addition, use of veterinary services may be affected by levels of flea infestation, heartworm and ticks, and the number of daylight hours. The seasonality we experience at our clinics varies throughout the year depending on the geographic region of those locations. For example, clinics in the desert region of California experience their highest sales volume in the winter months. However, revenue may be impacted significantly from quarter to quarter by natural disasters, such as earthquakes, landslides and fires, and other factors unrelated to such adverse events, such as changing economic conditions.
Overview of Our Financial Results
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, net revenue was $15.4 million and $31.1 million, respectively, a decrease of 8.0% and 7.1%, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year. The net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $17.6 million and $20.5 million, respectively, an increase in losses of 139.0% and 176.4%, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.74 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $0.86 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net loss per share of $0.31 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
     The revenue decrease in the first six months of 2010 versus 2009 was primarily due to a continued decrease in volume of business resulting from the current economic conditions in California. The increase in net loss and net loss per share was primarily a result of the accrual of debt prepayment penalties associated with the pending payoff of all, or substantially all, of our debt in accordance with the VCA Antech, Inc. acquisition, see Note 12, Merger Agreement, in our condensed, consolidated financial statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, partially offsetting the increase was a reduction of non-cash losses in 2010 in comparison to 2009 from the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities. The changes in fair value of warrant liabilities for the three and six months ended

Table of Contents

June 30, 2010 were a gain of $0.2 million and a loss of $0.6 million, respectively, versus losses of $5.6 million and $3.6 million for the comparable periods in the prior year.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2010 cash provided from operations was $0.6 million compared with cash used in operations of $2.3 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 net loss of $20.5 million was more than offset primarily by non-cash charges of $1.6 million, and $5.0 million for depreciation and amortization, and amortization of debt discounts, respectively, and $12.6 million in working capital changes, a decreased workforce reduced the amount of payroll and related liabilities paid during the six months ended June 30, 2010 while amounts for incremental interest and debt premium related to the pending payoff of all, or substantially all of, the company debt in accordance with the aforementioned merger with VCA Antech, Inc. remained unpaid as of the end of the quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 cash used in operations was primarily due to the net loss of $7.4 million, the $1.0 million reduction in accounts payable, and the $1.7 million reduction in accrued payroll and other expenses during the six months, offset by non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, as well as amortization of debt discounts, coupled with the non-cash $3.6 million loss on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
     Cash provided by investing activities during the first six months of 2010 was primarily from the net proceeds received from the sale of one of the Company-owned buildings in January 2010, partially offset by purchases of equipment at various animal hospital locations. Cash provided by investing activities during the six months 2009 was from the sale of a vacant building owned by the Company, offset by purchases of equipment at various animal hospital locations.
     Cash used in financing activities for the six months of 2010 was for recurring payments on outstanding term loans and capital leases. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months of 2009 was primarily a result of proceeds from the issuance of 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, partially offset by recurring debt principal and capital lease payments.
     We had a working capital deficit of $37.7 million at June 30, 2010 as compared to a working capital deficit of $4.4 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in the deficit was primarily due to the classification of all of the long-term obligations and warrant liabilities as current and the accrual of the entire premium related to the 12% senior term notes, which will be paid in full in accordance with the terms of the aforementioned VCA Antech, Inc. merger.

     Revenues decreased $1.3 million, or 8.0%, and $2.3 million, or 7.1%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in revenue was primarily a result of continued decreased volumes as a result of the current economic conditions in California where all of our hospitals are located.

     Direct costs decreased $0.3 million, or 2.1% and $1.0 million, or 3.2% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2009. The decrease in direct costs was partially due to $0.3 million and $0.8 million reduction in total compensation paid to veterinarians for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, due to the lower revenues achieved, coupled with reductions in both employed and contracted veterinarian staff. Further decreasing direct costs was a reduction in hospital staff costs, which decreased $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, also as a result of lower customer traffic. Additionally, as a result of the reduction in both veterinarian and staff wages, the associated payroll related taxes and benefits incurred by the Company decreased by approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods in the prior year. These direct cost decreases were partially offset by a $0.5 million and $0.6 million increase in cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the prior year comparable periods related vendor price increases introduced at the beginning of 2010.
     The reduction in direct costs for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 was also offset by a $0.4 million one-time acceleration of depreciation expense as a result of the sale and leaseback transaction we entered into in January 2010.

     SG&A increased by $4.1 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods primarily due to the accrual of severance obligations and transaction costs totaling approximately $3.3 million in connection with the aforementioned Merger Agreement between the Company and VCA Antech, Inc.

     Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 includes incremental expense amounts over the prior year’s comparable periods due to the pending payoff of all, or substantially all, of the company’s debt in accordance with the aforementioned June 2, 2010 definitive merger agreement. The primary difference is related to the accretion of the entire remaining unrecorded premium on the 12% senior secured convertible notes, which amounted to an additional expense amount of approximately $7.7 million in addition to the normal $0.7 quarterly accretion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 million and a working capital deficit of $37.7 million. The proceeds from the VCA Antech, Inc. acquisition, see Note 13, Subsequent Events, will be used to first pay-down all, or substantially all, of the outstanding debt, as such management believes that the Company has sufficient cash to meet its operating needs for 2010.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
     Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers for purchases of veterinary healthcare services. We usually receive payment at the time of service. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities include corporate and hospital personnel, facilities related expenditures including the purchase of inventory, and costs associated with outside support and services.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2010 cash provided from operations was $0.6 million compared with cash used in operations of $2.3 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 net loss of $20.5 million was more than offset primarily by non-cash charges of $1.6 million, and $5.0 for depreciation and amortization, and amortization of debt discounts, respectively, and $12.6 million in working capital changes. A decreased workforce reduced the amount of payroll and related liabilities paid during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and amounts for incremental interest and debt premium related to the pending payoff of all, or substantially all of, the company debt in accordance with the aforementioned merger with VCA Antech, Inc. remained unpaid as of the end of the quarter. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 resulted from the $7.4 million net loss incurred, $1.0 million decrease in accounts payable as the Company paid its large accounts payable balance down with the net proceeds received from the issuance of the Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2009, and a $1.7 million decrease in accrued payroll and other expenses. These fluctuations were offset somewhat by the value of the warrant liabilities, depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt discounts and stock-based compensation, respectively.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
     Cash provided by investing activities during the first six months of 2010 of $1.0 million was primarily from the net proceeds received from the sale of one of the Company-owned buildings in January 2010, partially offset by purchases of equipment at various animal hospital locations. Cash provided by investing activities during the six months 2009 of $0.7 million was from the sale of a vacant building owned by the Company, offset by purchases of equipment at various animal hospital locations.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
     Cash used in financing activities for the six months of 2010 of $1.1 million was for recurring payments on outstanding term loans and capital leases. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months of 2009 of $4.3 million was primarily a result of $6.5 million received from the sale by the Company of its 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, partially offset by $1.7 million of payments on term notes issued in prior years in conjunction with the purchase of animal hospitals and $0.4 million of fees incurred in connection with issuance of the 12% Senior Notes.

Other Metrics
     The non-GAAP metric of adjusted earnings before interest, gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is an important performance measure for us and we believe that it is a useful metric to investors and management of the ability of our business to generate cash and to repay and incur additional debt. Computations of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from company to company. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should be used as a compliment to, and in conjunction with, our condensed, consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. To maintain comparability, Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 included an additional adjustment related to severance obligations and transaction costs that are included in SG&A, related to the aforementioned merger with VCA Antech, Inc.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our computation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

     Additionally, the Company also reviews the non-GAAP metric of hospital contribution before depreciation and amortization expense (“Hospital EBITDA”) as an ability of our hospitals being able to individually generate cash without the burden of corporate spending. Computations of Hospital EBITDA may differ from company to company. Therefore, Hospital EBITDA should be used as a compliment to, and in conjunction with, our condensed, consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
