Forward-Looking Statements: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a
safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Certain statements contained in this Quarterly
Report may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations and projections about future events. Actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements include:
| general economic and market conditions; |
| the effect of the recent change in the United Kingdom (U.K.) government and the impact
of proposed changes in recent policy making related to health and social care that may
reduce revenue and profitability; |
| the impact of the recent HM Treasury Comprehensive Spending Review setting out the U.K.
governments plans to reduce spending; |
| the introduction of the individualized budgets and direct payment for service users (the
personalization agenda), which could lead to Allied Healthcare International Inc.s (the
Company) hospital, healthcare facility and other customers to bypass the Companys
services and which might decrease its revenues and margins; |
| the Companys ability to continue to recruit and retain flexible healthcare staff; |
| the Companys ability to enter into contracts with local governmental social service
departments, National Health Service Trusts, hospitals, other healthcare facility clients
and private clients on terms attractive to the Company; |
| the general level of demand for healthcare and social care; |
| dependence on the proper functioning of the Companys information systems; |
| the effect of existing or future government regulation of the healthcare and social care
industry, and the Companys ability to comply with these regulations; |
| the impact of medical malpractice and other claims asserted against the Company; |
| the effect of regulatory change that may apply to the Company and that may increase
costs and reduce revenue and profitability; |
| the effect of existing or future governmental regulation in relation to employment and
agency workers rights and benefits, including changes to National Insurance rates and
pension provisions; |
| the ability to use net operating loss carry forwards to offset net income; |
| the effect that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may have on the
Companys dollar-denominated results of operations; and |
| the impairment of goodwill, of which the Company has a substantial amount on the balance
sheet, may have the effect of decreasing earnings or increasing losses. |
Other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in or implied by the
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include those described in the Companys most
recently filed SEC documents, such as its most recent annual report on Form 10-K, all quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q and any current reports on Form 8-K filed since the date of the last Form
10-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. | Basis of Presentation: |
The Company is a homecare provider of health and social care (often referred to as domiciliary
care) in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and Ireland. The Company was incorporated in New York in
1981. The Company provides personal or basic care and
nursing services in the customers own homes, public or private hospitals and nursing and care homes. The Companys healthcare
staff consists principally of homecare aides (known as carers in the U.K.), nurses and nurses
aides. |
The services provided by the Company are provided by its integrated network of approximately
120 branches, which have similar economic characteristics and are located mainly throughout
most of the U.K. The operations of the Companys Ireland operations are effectively reviewed
as one branch as they provide comparable services and are operated on a similar basis as the
Companys U.K. operations. The Companys management evaluates operating results on a branch
basis. For financial reporting purposes, all its branches are aggregated into one reportable
segment. |
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein are unaudited and include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of
operations of the interim periods pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America (U.S.) have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The balance sheet at
September 30, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date,
but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year
ended September 30, 2010. Although the Companys operations are not highly seasonal, the
results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily
indicative of operating results for the full year. |
2. | Stock-Based Compensation: |
Stock Options |
For each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, stock-based compensation
cost recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $0.1 million and
$0.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, there was $0.6 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards, net of estimated forfeitures,
which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8
years. The compensation cost as generated by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may not be
indicative of the future benefit, if any, that may be received by the option holder. Shares
available for future grant under the 2002 Stock Option Plan were 3.0 million shares at March
31, 2011. |

Stock Appreciation Rights: |
In fiscal 2009, the Companys Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of its Compensation
Committee, made a grant of 0.6 million stock appreciation rights (the SARs) to Alexander
(Sandy) Young, its Chief Executive Officer (the CEO). The SARs represent the right to
receive a payment, in shares of the Companys common stock, equal to the product of (a) the
number of SARs granted that vest and (b) the excess of (i) the closing sale price of a share
of the Companys common stock on the date that the SARs are settled over (ii) the base price
of $1.51 (the closing price of a share of the Companys common stock on Nasdaq on April 21,
2009, the date that the SARs were granted to Mr. Young). The SARs are subject to both time
vesting and performance vesting. |
The SARs agreement with Mr. Young provides that the potential maximum value of the SARs (when
aggregated with the value of the vested portion of the option to purchase 0.2 million shares
of the Companys common stock held by Mr. Young) is £3.0 million (approximately $4.8 million
at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011). If the total value of the SARs and the value of the
vested portion of Mr. Youngs options exceeds £3.0 million, then the base price of $1.51 for
the SARs will be increased so that the total value is equal to £3.0 million. |
At March 31, 2011, the Company estimated that none of the performance measures will be
achieved which resulted in zero stock-based compensation cost related to SARs to be recognized
as of March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $0.3 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to SARs compensation awards. A change in the estimate of the SARs
performance measures vesting could result in the Company incurring such cost over a period
through September 30, 2011. The compensation cost as generated by the Monte-Carlo pricing
model may not be indicative of the future benefit, if any, that may be received by the SARs
holder. |
3. | Property and Equipment: |
Property and equipment is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the related lease terms or estimated useful lives,
whichever is shorter. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are amortized on a straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to eight years. Computer software is
amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven
years. |

Amortization expense for other intangible assets subject to amortization was $0.3 million
and $0.6 million for each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. At March 31, 2011, estimated future amortization expense of other intangible
assets still subject to amortization for the six months ending September 30, 2011 and the

the foreign exchange effect. |
5. | Business Combinations: |
Homecare Independent Living Group |
In May 2010 the Company acquired a shareholding in a group of businesses commonly known as
Homecare Independent Living Group (the HILG). The Company acquired a 50.1% shareholding in
L&B (No. 182) Limited, the holding company of the five entities that make up the HILG
business, for a consideration of £3.9 million ($5.7 million, at the acquisition date exchange
rate). Such consideration may be adjusted based on the final value of the net assets. The
purchase price was funded through the Companys cash on hand. In addition, the Company has
also entered into call option agreements giving the Company the right to buy the remaining shares
between March 2013 and March 2020. The sellers have also entered into put option
agreements giving them the right to require the Company to buy the remaining shares between
March 2011 and March 2020. The minimum amount payable by the Company for 100% of the HILG
business will be £7.7 million ($12.3 million at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011). The
maximum amount payable by the Company for 100% of the HILG business will be £11.2 million
($18.0 million at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011) and is subject to HILG achieving
certain annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets. |
HILG is a leading provider of homecare to the elderly, physically disabled and mentally
disabled with four operating divisions in Northern Ireland and an increasing presence in the
Republic of Ireland. This acquisition gives the Company a market-leading position in Northern
Ireland as well as a strategic footprint in the Republic of Ireland market. Both are new
territories for the Company for which management believes will provide opportunities for
future growth, especially in the Republic of Ireland. The two sellers of HILG remain in their
existing roles as directors of HILG and have been joined by additional directors appointed by
the Company to this business. |
The goodwill of $7.4 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the benefits
expected from this transaction. None of the goodwill recognized is deductible for income tax
purposes. |
The following tables summarize the consideration paid for HILG and the estimates of the fair
value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the resulting goodwill recognized at the
acquisition date, as well as the fair value at the acquisition date of the noncontrolling
interest in HILG. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities assumed are subject to revisions, which may result in adjustments to the
preliminary values presented below. The Company expects to finalize these amounts in its next
fiscal period ended June 30, 2011. |

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, acquisition-related costs of $0.5 million related to
the acquisition of HILG were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the
Companys condensed consolidated statement of operations. |
The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in HILG, a private company, was estimated by
using the observed transaction relating to a controlling interest which occurred as of the
measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not
observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Key assumptions include
(i) an estimated discount to account for the lack of control feature of the noncontrolling
interest derived using implied discounts as observed through control premiums of private
transactions in the companys sector, and (ii) an estimated discount to account for the lack
of marketability of the noncontrolling interest derived using an option-based model which
estimates the cost of holding a security for period time needed before achieving a
transaction. Significant inputs into the option-based model include (i) a estimated holding
period of 3 years until a transaction is consummated, (ii) an equity volatility estimate of
42% based on comparable companies, and (iii) a risk free rate of 1.34% based on the holding
period selected. |

Health and Lifecare Options Limited |
In March 2011 the Company acquired the entire share capital of Health and Lifecare Options
Limited, which trades under the ScotHomecare name, for an initial consideration of £0.7
million ($1.2 million, at the acquisition date exchange rate) and £0.2 million ($0.4 million,
at the acquisition date exchange rate) additional consideration which was deferred for three
months pending the finalization of the completion accounts. Such consideration may be
adjusted based on the final value of the net assets. In addition, the Company repaid £1.5
million ($2.4 million, at the acquisition date exchange rate) of liabilities assumed on
acquisition. The purchase price and liabilities repaid were funded through the Companys cash
on hand. |
ScotHomecare is a flexible domiciliary homecare business with nine branches in Scotland and
one branch in Leicester, England. ScotHomecares services include adult health care, child
nursing care, palliative care nursing and elderly care services. |
The goodwill of $3.7 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the benefits
expected from this transaction. The acquisition expands the Companys operations, making it
one of the largest provider of domiciliary care in Scotland. Management believes that the
transaction will allow the Company to introduce new higher margin services, including learning
disabilities and continuing care, in these new locations. None of the goodwill recognized is
deductible for income tax purposes. |
The following tables summarize the consideration paid for ScotHomecare and the estimates of
the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting goodwill
recognized at the acquisition date. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to revisions, which may
result in adjustments to the preliminary values presented below. The Company expects to
finalize these amounts by the end of its fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. |

6. | Accrued Expenses: |
Accrued expenses consist of the following at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010 (in

7. | Income Taxes: |
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes amounting to $1.0 million or 31.7% of income
before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a provision of $0.9
million or 24.4% of income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The
Company recorded a provision for income taxes amounting to $2.1 million or 33.9% of income
before income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a provision of $1.9
million or 25.5% of income before income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2010. The
difference in the effective tax rate between the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and
March 31, 2010 is mainly due to the U.K. tax deduction on intra-group interest expense no
longer being an allowable deduction effective October 1, 2010. |

As of March 31, 2011, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its U.S.
deferred tax assets as management believes it is not more likely than not that these deferred
tax
assets will be utilized prior to their expiration. Subsequent recognition of these deferred
tax assets would result in an income tax benefit in the year of such recognition. The
Companys public offering in July 2004 of its common shares caused an ownership change under
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code). Accordingly,
Section 382 imposes an annual limit on the Companys ability to utilize it net operating loss
carryforward. The Company has discovered that, upon the ownership change triggered by the
2004 public offering, an election required under Section 382 of the Code to include the value
of its foreign subsidiaries for purposes of determining the annual net operating loss
utilization limitation had not been filed. Absent this election, the annual net operating
utilization limitation would be negligible. The Company has requested a private letter ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service seeking relief which would allow for a retroactive election
and believes it is more likely than not that such relief will be obtained. An inability to
use a significant portion of the Companys federal net operating loss carryforward could have
a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
As of March 31, 2011, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits, which
remains unchanged from September 30, 2010. |
8. | Earnings Per Share: |
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS adjusts basic EPS for the effects of stock options and
warrants only when such effect is dilutive. The Company uses the treasury stock method to
calculate the effect of potential common shares, which require it to compute total assumed
proceeds as the sum of (a) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award, (b)
the amount of unrecognized share-based compensation costs attributed to future services and
(c) the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital
assuming exercise of the award. Share-based compensation awards for which total assumed
proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period have an antidilutive
effect on EPS and are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. At March 31, 2011 and
2010, the Company had outstanding stock options (including performance-based stock options) to
purchase 1.8 million and 0.9 million shares, respectively, of common stock ranging in price
from $2.11 to $6.20 and $2.11 to $6.20 per share, respectively, that were not included in the
computation of diluted EPS either because the exercise price was greater than the average
market price of the common shares or the conditions of the performance-based stock options
have yet to be satisfied or such effect would have been anti-dilutive. Further, 0.6 million
of contingently issuable shares related to the SARs issued to the CEO, as further described in
Note 2, have not been included in the computation of diluted EPS at March 31, 2011 and 2010. |
The weighted average number of shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share
computations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows (in

Components of comprehensive income (loss) include net income and all other non-owner changes in
equity, such as the change in the cumulative translation adjustment, which is the only item of
other comprehensive income (loss) impacting the Company. The translation of the financial
statement of the Companys U.K. operations is impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. The following table displays comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six

10. | Commitments and Contingencies: |
Employment Agreements |
The Company has employment agreements with its two executive officers that provide for minimum
aggregate annual base compensation of approximately $0.6 million (at the exchange rate at
March 31, 2011) in fiscal 2011. |
Leases |
The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for office space and
equipment, as well as housing accommodations used by HILG in providing social care. Certain
of these leases provide for renewal options. Of the $5.3 million operating lease obligations
at March 31, 2011, $0.3 million relates to properties that are owned by the noncontrolling
interest holders. |
In connection with the Companys acquisition of HILG, the Company assumed various capital
lease agreements mainly related to leased vehicles and furniture, fixtures and equipment,
which had gross carrying values of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, at March 31,
2011 and $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, at September 30, 2010 and are included
within property and equipment in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Accumulated amortization related to these capital leases totaled $0.3 million and $0.1 million
at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Depreciation of assets under capital
leases is included in depreciation expense. The present value of the net minimum capital
lease payments estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis was $0.5 million at March 31,
2011. |

Debt |
In connection with the Companys acquisition of HILG, the Company assumed debt related to two
invoice discounting facilities and a bank loan for the funding of capital expenditures. The
invoice discounting facilities provide for available funds of up to $1.5 million (at the
exchange rate at March 31, 2011) that mature in April and June of 2011. The loans bear
interest at rates equal to LIBOR plus 2.0% with a minimum of 4.0% per annum. At March 31,
2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $0.4 million and $0.3
million, respectively, under the invoice discounting facilities and a bank loan that bore
interest at rates ranging from 4.0% to 4.7%. |
Other Obligations |
Other obligations represent our contractual commitment for a new branch operating system and
purchase commitment for new office equipment and software. |

Contingencies: |
The Company believes that it has been in compliance, in all material respects, with the
applicable provisions of the federal statutes, regulations and laws and applicable state laws,
together with the applicable laws and regulations of other countries in which the Company
operates. There can be no assurance that an enforcement action will not be brought against the
Company for violations of applicable law or that the Company will not be found to be in
violation of one or more of these provisions. If the Company is found to have violated laws
or regulations that are applicable to it, the Company could incur civil and/or criminal
penalties as well as adverse publicity. In addition, in such circumstances, the parties to
certain of the Companys existing contracts could exercise their right to terminate their
contracts with the Company and/or the Company might find itself disadvantaged when
bidding on new contracts. At present, the Company cannot anticipate what impact, if any,
administrative or judicial interpretation of the applicable federal and state laws and those
of other countries may have on the Companys consolidated financial position, cash flows or
results of operations. |

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims incidental to its normal
business activities. The Company is vigorously defending its position in all such proceedings.
Management believes these matters should not have a material adverse impact on the
consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations of the Company. |
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation and other
sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of
liability can be reasonably estimated. Based on managements best estimate of probable
liability, the Company has accrued $0.1 million for such costs at March 31, 2011 and at
September 30, 2010. |
11. | Profit Sharing and Private Pension Plans: |
The Company has a defined contribution plan, pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code, covering all U.S. employees who meet certain requirements. In addition to the U.S. plan,
the Companys U.K. subsidiaries also sponsor personal pension plans that operate as salary
reduction plans. Further, as part of certain employees compensation, the Company has agreed
to make payments towards their U.K.- based private pension fund. The Company expects to
contribute $0.2 million to such plans in fiscal 2011. |
12. | Recent Accounting Standards: |
Transfers of Financial Assets. In June 2009, the FASB issued a standard which provides
guidance to improve transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferors
continuing involvement, if any, with transferred financial assets. This standard amends
various provisions of the previously issued standard relating to transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities to improve the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing
involvement in transferred financial assets. Effective October 1, 2010, the Company adopted
this standard, which did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial position
or results of operations. |
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. In June 2009, the FASB issued a standard, which
changes the criteria to determine whether to consolidate a variable interest entity, to
provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. Effective
October 1, 2010, the Company adopted this standard, which did not have any impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations as the Company does not
have variable interest entities. |
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. In August 2009, the FASB issued a standard to further
update the fair value measurement guidance to clarify how an entity should measure liabilities
at fair value. This standard update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a
quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting
entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. When quoted prices are not
available, the quoted price
of the identical liability traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or
similar liabilities traded as an asset, or another valuation approach should be used. This
standard update also clarifies that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should
not be considered as a separate input or adjustment in the measurement of fair value.
Effective October 1, 2010, the Company adopted this standard, which did not have any impact on
the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations. |

Stock Compensation. In April 2010, the FASB issued an update to clarify that an employee
share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in
which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered
to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore,
the entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as
equity. This update is effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2011
and is not expected to have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or
results of operations as the Companys current practice is consistent with the update. |
13. | Fair Value Measurements: |
The Companys short term financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, unbilled
accounts receivable, accounts payable, current maturities of debt and capital leases, accrued
expenses and taxes payable. The carrying value of the short term financial instruments
approximates the fair value due to their short term nature. These financial instruments have
no stated maturities or the financial instruments have short term maturities that approximate
market value. |
The fair value of the Companys long-term debt and capital lease obligations was approximately
$0.2 million and $0.4 million at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The fair
values were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. |
14. | Subsequent Event: |
On May 6, 2011, the Company acquired the entire issued share capital of BiJu Limited for
maximum total consideration of £1.6 million ($2.6 million, at the acquisition date exchange rate).
Initial consideration of £1.3 million ($2.1 million, at the acquisition date exchange rate) was
paid on completion of the transaction and was funded through the Companys cash on hand.
Additional consideration of £0.3 million ($0.5 million, at the acquisition date exchange rate)
could become payable after 12 months depending on the level of gross profit generated in the
business during the next twelve-month period equating to a pro forma earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation and amortization of £0.4 million ($0.6 million, at acquisition date exchange
rate). |
BiJu Limited is a recognized supplier of diverse homecare services, including rehabilitation,
physical disabilities, sensory impairment and extra care sheltered housing projects, to
clients throughout Lancashire. This acquisition expands the Companys geographical footprint
in the North West of England and provides it with additional growth opportunities across
Lancashire. |

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations |
General |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information
contained in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains, in addition to
historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainty. Our
actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those
discussed on page 2 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under Forward-Looking Statements. |
We are a leading homecare provider of health and social care (often referred to as domiciliary care)
in the United Kingdom and
Ireland, as measured by revenues, market share and number of staff. We operate a
community-based network of approximately 120 branches with the capacity to provide carers
(known as home health aides in the U.S.), nurses, and specialized medical personnel to
locations covering approximately 90% of the U.K. population. We provide personal or basic care and nursing services in the
customers own homes, public or private hospitals and nursing and care homes. Homecare, which
accounts for over 85% of our revenues, is provided for individuals
(normally elderly individuals) who require domiciliary care, individuals with learning
disabilities and individuals of all ages who require health-related services for complex care
needs. The main purchaser of our services for customers own homes is local governmental
social services departments, private individuals, the Health and Social Care Board and
National Health Services (the NHS) Primary Care Trusts. We also supply nursing staff
services to nursing homes and hospitals that account for our remaining revenues. |
In March 2011, we acquired the entire share capital of Health and Lifecare Options Limited,
which trades under the ScotHomecare name, for an initial consideration of £0.7 million ($1.2
million, at the acquisition date exchange rate ) and £0.2 million ($0.4 million, at the
acquisition date exchange rate) additional consideration which was deferred for three months
pending the finalization of the completion accounts. Such consideration may be adjusted based
on the final value of the net assets. In addition, we repaid £1.5 million ($2.4 million, at
the acquisition date exchange rate) of liabilities assumed on acquisition. The purchase price
and liabilities repaid were funded through the companys cash on hand. |
ScotHomecare is a flexible domiciliary homecare business with nine branches in Scotland and
one branch in Leicester, England. ScotHomecares services include adult health care, child
nursing care, palliative care nursing and elderly care services. |
In May 2010, we acquired a shareholding in a group of business commonly known as Homecare
Independent Living Group (HILG), which has operations in Ireland. We acquired a 50.1%
shareholding in L&B (No. 182) Limited, the holding company of the five entities that make up
the HILG business, for a consideration of £3.9 million ($5.7 million, at the acquisition date
exchange rate), subject to adjustment based on the final value of the net assets. This was
funded through the companys cash on hand. In addition, we also entered into call option
agreements giving us the right to buy the remaining shares between March 2013 and March 2020.
The sellers have also entered into put option agreements giving them the right to require us
to buy the remaining shares between March
2011 and March 2020. The minimum amount payable by us for 100% of the HILG business will be
£7.7 million ($12.3 million at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011). The maximum amount
payable by us for 100% of the HILG business will be £11.2 million ($18.0 million at the
exchange rate at March 31, 2011) and is subject to HILG achieving certain annual earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets. |

Table of Contents
HILG is a leading provider of homecare to the elderly, physically disabled and mentally
disabled in Northern Ireland with four operating divisions and an increasing presence in the
Republic of Ireland. This acquisition gives us a market-leading position in Northern Ireland
as well as a strategic footprint in the Republic of Ireland market. Both are new territories
for us for which we believe will provide opportunities for future growth, especially in the
Republic of Ireland. The two sellers of HILG remain in their existing roles as directors of
HILG and have been joined by additional directors appointed by us to this business. |
Our services are provided by our integrated network of approximately 120 branches, which have
similar economic characteristics and which are located throughout most of the U.K. The
operations of our acquisition in Ireland are effectively reviewed as one branch as they
provide comparable services and are operated on a similar basis as our U.K. operations. Our
healthcare staff consists principally of homecare aides, nurses and nurses aides. Our
management evaluates operating results on a branch basis. All our branches are aggregated
into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes. |
Effective January 1, 2010, the standard rate of U.K. value-added tax (VAT) reverted to 17.5%
(from the previous rate of 15%) and has further increased to 20% effective January 4, 2011,
which has and will continue to increase the amount of any irrecoverable VAT cost. For the
three and six months ended March 31, 2011 we incurred irrecoverable VAT of $0.7 million and
$1.3 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses. Based on a
similar level of future purchases, management estimates that the increase in VAT would
increase expense by $0.1 million per quarter. |
Effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010, legislative changes have gone into
effect that have disallowed the U.K. tax deduction on intra-group interest expense. This
legislative change has resulted in an increase to our tax provision amount and an increase of
approximately 9% to our effective tax rate for the fiscal 2011 results. |
A further legislative change that went into effect in April 2011 is the U.K. governments
introduction of a 1% increase to the national insurance employer contribution amounts, which
could impact our profit margins. |
In March 2011, the U.K. Finance Bill 2011-12 was published. As published the U.K. Finance
Bill 2011, announced that the rate of corporation tax will be reducing to 26% from April 2011
and will be reducing to 23% by April 2014. The bill was substantively enacted into law on
March 29, 2011. We are currently evaluating the likely impact of this proposed change on our
consolidated financial statements and results of operations. |
The Pensions Act 2008 is to be introduced in phases, over a five year period beginning in
2012, and will require employers to automatically enroll all eligible jobholders, who are not
already in a qualifying workplace or personal pension plan, into either a qualifying workplace
or personal pension plan or a new type of savings arrangement, known as the personal accounts
plan. Automatic enrollment means that if jobholders do not wish to be a member of the plan
offered to them they must actively opt out of that arrangement. Initially employers will be
required to contribute a minimum of 1% of the jobholders qualifying earnings. Upon the final
phase in of the legislation, employers will
be required to contribute a minimum of 3% of the jobholders qualifying earnings, which will be
supplemented by contributions from the jobholder so that, in total, the pension contribution
for each jobholder should equal a minimum of 8% of the jobholders qualifying earnings. There
will be limits set on the amount that employers and jobholders can contribute in any one year.
The personal accounts plan will be a new trust-based occupational plan, which is independent
of the U.K. government and run by a trustee corporation. The extent to which we can recover
this additional cost from our customers is uncertain and could impact our profit margins. |

Table of Contents
In order to reduce the U.K. governments fiscal deficit HM Treasury announced in October 2010,
following its Comprehensive Spending Review, its plans to achieve a significant reduction in
public spending. While the U.K. government has stated that it will increase spending in the
NHS over the next four years to support healthcare, we note the increase will be partially
offset as the NHS has increased obligations and cost of treatments going forward due to the
growing population and demand for better healthcare. However, the Comprehensive Spending
Review will also allocate £2 billion (approximately $3.2 billion at the exchange rate at March
31, 2011) a year of additional funding by 2014-2015 to support social care. The Comprehensive
Spending Review also announced significant cuts in funding to local authorities, who are the
main providers of social care, and other public bodies, which are a key source of revenue to
us. Local authorities are in the process of evaluating how to apply such budget restrictions
across their different areas of spending. While we expect some negative impacts on our
business as a result of the upcoming changes, we believe that new opportunities will arise
from the Comprehensive Spending Review (for example, potential reallocation of money from
residential to homecare) and the high quality of our services, our dedicated and caring
personnel and our strong market reputation will, we also believe, continue to drive demand for
our homecare services. We will continue to monitor this closely. |
The U.K. government is also seeking to introduce a greater level of personalization.
Personalization is a social care approach which aims for social care services users to have
control over how money allocated to their care is spent to achieve their own individual needs
for independence, well-being and dignity. |
Another of the U.K. governments visions is for primary and community care to provide high
quality, personal care and support, treating people when they are sick and helping them stay
healthy, where and when they need it most. The U.K. government wishes to ensure that there is
access to a dedicated team of family doctors, community nurses, health visitors, allied health
professionals, social care professionals, pharmacists, dentists and opticians, to enable most
patients to enjoy good quality care, close to home. The U.K. government recognizes that the
NHS needs to achieve an unprecedented transfer of care and treatment from hospital to
community settings and that community services have a pivotal role to play in this.
Accordingly, the U.K. government has stated that it wants to build on the services which are
currently provided in the community to create one integrated sustainable structure. |
In addition to the personalization agenda and the opportunity for service users and patients
to effectively commission their own care, the U.K. government is also radically reforming the
NHS organizations that currently commission care, with the proposed abolition of Strategic
Health Authorities (the SHAs) and NHS Primary Care Trusts with whom we currently deal and
replacing them with NHS Commissioning Boards and General Practitioner Commissioning Consortia
(GP Consortia). The GP Consortia will be given freedom and responsibility for commissioning
healthcare for their local communities. Services will be more responsive to patients and
designed around their needs, and local authorities will play a new role of supporting
integration across health and social care. In the meantime, SHAs and NHS Primary Care Trusts
will be phased out, and management costs will be reduced to commit more resources to support
frontline services. While we believe there is large
support for more care at home, away from more expensive residential care, these changes and
the method of procurement and the extent of some of the current initiatives like
personalization and independent budgets and their effects on our business should become
clearer over the next twelve months. As all these proposed changes are continually evolving
and could change at any time depending on their political support, we will continue to monitor
this closely. |
Page 23
Table of Contents
Finally, we believe that there is potential for further outsourcing of homecare by local
governments and NHS Primary Care Trusts. However, both governmental and NHS bodies are under
pressure to achieve significant cost savings and efficiencies. Consequently, the benefits
arising from the potential for outsourcing may be reduced by tighter local governmental and
NHS Primary Care Trust budgets or by policy changes or legislation. |
Critical Accounting Policies |
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures
in a given reporting period. We believe the following accounting policies are critical areas
affecting our financial condition and results of operations where estimates are required. |
Accounts Receivable |
We estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable, which requires a considerable amount
of judgment in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current
credit-worthiness of each customer. Significant changes in required reserves may occur in the
future as we continue to expand our business and as conditions in the marketplace change. |
Our company maintains credit controls to ensure cash collection on a timely basis. The credit
terms agreed with our customers range from 7 days to a maximum of 30 days from invoice date.
We maintain a credit department which consists of approximately 20 personnel who are targeted
to collect outstanding receivables. We have established the following guidelines for the
credit department to use as well as for us to assess the credit departments performance: |
| to maintain accounts receivable levels (including unbilled accounts receivable) to
below 45 days; |
| to limit our overdues (greater than 90 days) within agreed targets; and |
| to limit bad debt write off in the year within agreed targets. |
We also apply a policy of withdrawing supply from customers who are significantly overdue.
Many private customers are contracted on a direct debit basis where we can collect payment
direct from customers bank accounts. |
We have devised a provisioning methodology based on the customer profile and historical credit
risk across our U.K. business. Accounts receivable are written off when the credit control
department determines the amount is no longer collectible. In addition, we do not have a
threshold for account balance write-offs as our policy focuses on all balances, whatever the
size. |

Table of Contents
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets |
We have significant amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets. The determination of
whether or not goodwill has become impaired involves a significant amount of judgment. Changes
in strategy and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require
adjustments to recorded amounts of goodwill. We have recorded goodwill and separately
identifiable intangible assets resulting from our acquisitions through March 31, 2011.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. A more
frequent evaluation will be performed if indicators of impairment are present. In each quarter
of fiscal 2011, we determined that there were no such indicators. We completed the annual
impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and determined that there
was no impairment to our goodwill balance. The calculation of fair value used for an
impairment test includes a number of estimates and assumptions, including future income and
cash flow projections, the identification of appropriate market multiples and the choice of an
appropriate discount rate. If we are required to record an impairment charge in the future, it
could have an adverse impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
Income Taxes |
We account for income taxes using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect tax carryforwards and the net
effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting and income tax purposes, as determined under currently enacted tax rates.
Deferred tax assets are recorded if future realization is more likely than not. Deferred taxes
are recorded primarily for foreign, federal and state net operating loss carryforwards,
depreciation and amortization of intangibles, which are reported in different periods for
income tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be
realized. The determination of whether or not valuation allowances are required to be
recorded involves significant estimates regarding the future profitability of our company, as
well as potential tax strategies for the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. As
of March 31, 2011, we had recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset
created by the U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward as we did not believe it was more
likely than not that such losses would be utilized prior to their expiration. Subsequent
recognition of these deferred tax assets would result in an income tax benefit in the year of
such recognition. |
Our public offering in July 2004 of shares of our common stock caused an ownership change
under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Accordingly,
Section 382 imposes an annual limit on our ability to utilize our net operating loss
carryforward. Our company has discovered that, upon the ownership change triggered by the
2004 public offering, an election required under Section 382 of the Code to include the value
of our foreign subsidiaries for purposes of determining the annual net operating loss
utilization limitation had not been filed. Absent this election, the annual net operating
utilization limitation would be negligible. We have requested a private letter ruling from
the Internal Revenue Service seeking relief which would allow for a retroactive election.
Although we believe it is more likely than not that such relief will be obtained, there is no
assurance that we will be able to obtain such relief. An inability to use a significant
portion of our federal net operating loss carryforward could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition or results of operations. |
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements
from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than
fifty percent likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate settlement. As of March 31, 2011, our company has not recorded any unrecognized
tax benefits, which remains unchanged from September 30, 2010. |
Page 25
Table of Contents
Contingencies |
We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims incidental to our normal business
activities. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to
these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of
reserves required, if any, for these contingencies are made after careful analysis of each
individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in
each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with
these matters. |
Revenue Recognition |
Patient services are recognized when services are performed and substantiated by proper
documentation. For patient services, which are billed at fixed rates, revenue is mainly
recognized either upon completion of timesheets that also require the signature of the
recipient of services or through electronic call monitoring. |
We receive a majority of our revenue from local governmental social service or social care
departments and the NHS. |
Business Combinations |
Amounts paid for acquisitions are allocated to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities
assumed and noncontrolling interests based on their estimated fair value at the date of
acquisition. We then allocate the purchase price in excess of net tangible assets acquired to
identifiable intangible assets. Any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net
tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. We typically obtain a
third-party valuation in order to complete our purchase price allocations. Accordingly, final
asset and liability fair values as well as useful lives may differ from managements original
estimates and could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations. |
Results of Operations |
Overview |
We are one of the leading suppliers of homecare services in the U.K. Current trends in
homecare services that have contributed to the growth of this business include the increasing
shift from care in residential homes to care in the home, which in most cases is a lower cost
option, an increase in the aging population and additional opportunities as a result of the
increase in demand for higher sophisticated homecare service lines, such as continuing care
and care for individuals with learning disabilities. Over the last year we have seen a switch
away from the traditional larger block/spot contract tenders to smaller framework preferred
supplier contracts, often in specialist services. |
In order to reduce the U.K. governments fiscal deficit HM Treasury announced in October 2010,
following its Comprehensive Spending Review, its plans to achieve a significant reduction in
public spending. While the U.K. government has stated that it will increase spending in the
NHS over the next four years to support healthcare, we note the increase will be partially
offset as the NHS has increased obligations and cost of treatments going forward due to the
growing population and demand
for better healthcare. However, the Comprehensive Spending Review will also allocate £2
billion (approximately $3.2 billion at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011) a year of
additional funding by 2014-2015 to support social care. The Comprehensive Spending Review
also announced significant cuts in funding to local authorities and other public bodies, which
are a key source of revenue to us. Local authorities are in the process of evaluating how to
apply such budget restrictions across their different areas of spending. As a result of the
imminent budget social care cuts that were anticipated after the recent U.K. government change
we have already not seen typical increases in either service prices or the number of service
hours in the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three and six months
ended March 31, 2010. |
Page 26
Table of Contents
While we expect some negative impacts on our business as a result of the upcoming changes, we
believe that new opportunities will arise from the Comprehensive Spending Review (for example,
potential reallocation of money from residential to homecare) and the high quality of our
services, our dedicated and caring personnel and our strong market reputation will continue to
drive demand for our homecare services. |
Nursing homes results have been impacted by the general economic market. We have experienced
a lesser demand for our services from nursing homes, which we believe is a result of the
economic recession, as nursing homes are trying to reduce their costs as well as their own
permanent staff working additional hours. In addition, nursing homes have been impacted by
the general move of care from establishments to homecare as well as the fact that smaller
suppliers, who previously serviced local government authority work and social services, are
focusing more on agency business. Further, as a result of the budget restrictions arising
from the Comprehensive Spending Review, local authorities will spend less money on nursing
homes. |
The NHS requires any healthcare staffing company that provides temporary staff to NHS
Hospitals in a region to enter into a Framework Agreement setting forth, among other things,
applicable quality standards and maximum payment rates. The U.K. government has stated that
it will increase spending in the NHS over the next four years to support healthcare. However,
we note the increase will be partially offset as the NHS has increased obligations and cost of
treatments going forward due to the growing population and demand for better healthcare. As
such, in the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, we have noticed a tightening in NHS
spending on hospitals and temporary staff. |

of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding our companys
results of operations, as these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing
business performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as
a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The chart also
provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures with the

Revenues |
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011, before the favorable impact of
foreign exchange rates, increased by $2.0 million, or 3.0%, to $67.5 million, compared with
$65.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Contributing to the increase in
revenues was homecare revenues which grew by 7.5% to $60.2 million. Acquisitions contributed
9.9%, or $5.6 million, to homecare revenues. Nursing homes revenues declined by 27.1% to $3.2
million. Hospitals revenues decreased by 19.4% to $4.1 million. After the favorable impact of
currency exchange of $1.7 million, revenues increased to $69.2 million. |
Gross Profit |
Gross profit, before the favorable impact of foreign exchange, increased 5.6% to $21.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $19.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 2010. Homecare gross profit grew 9.7% to $19.0 million. Acquisitions contributed $1.7
million, or 10.0%, to homecare gross profit. Nursing homes gross profit declined 28.9% to $1.1
million and hospitals gross profit declined 13.4% to $1.0 million. Changes in foreign exchange
increased gross profit by $0.5 million. As a result of the foregoing, gross profit increased
to $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $19.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 8.2%. As a percentage of total revenue,
gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 31.2%, as compared to 30.4% for the
comparable prior period. The improvement from 30.4% to 31.2% is due to the sales mix change
within our hospital staffing business and also a reduction in some of our lower homecare margin
service lines arising from the Comprehensive Spending Review. We continue to focus on efforts
to maintain our normal 30% range of expectation gross margin percentage despite on-going
pricing pressures and national insurance changes, which have gone into effect in April 2011,
which could impact us. |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses |
Total SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011, before the unfavorable impact of
foreign exchange, increased by $1.9 million, or 11.2% to $18.2 million (26.9% of revenues)
compared to $16.3 million (24.9% of revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Acquisitions contributed 7.0%, or $1.1 million, to the 12.6% increase in SG&A,
excluding US corporate overhead costs and amortization costs. The remaining increase is
mainly a result of us incurring additional costs, in the current fiscal year, in certain areas
of our business mainly related to the opening of new branches, investment in specialized
service lines which include continuing care and learning disabilities, and costs associated
with process improvements including the roll out of our new IT system, all to ensure that we
support future growth in revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 our training
costs were reduced by training support grants in respect of training provided to carers of $0.4
million, which was partially offset by grant-related monitoring and compliance costs incurred
of $0.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had a reduction in training
costs from receipts of training support grants of $0.2 million, which was partially offset by
grant-related monitoring and compliance costs incurred of $0.1 million. However, lower U.K.
government spending arising from the Comprehensive Spending Review may result in lower training
support grants being awarded, which may increase our training costs. At the same time, we
maintain tight controls over other areas of SG&A costs. Changes in foreign exchange increased
the reported SG&A result by $0.4 million to $18.6 million compared to $16.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010. |

Interest Income |
Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.1 million compared to
$0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. |
Foreign exchange loss |
Total foreign exchange loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $13 thousand
compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Foreign exchange is
impacted by gains or losses resulting from foreign currency exchange fluctuations on our
intercompany obligations for which settlement is intended. |
Provision for Income Taxes |
We recorded a provision for income taxes amounting to $1.0 million or 31.7% of income before
income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a provision of $0.9
million or 24.4% of income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The
difference in the effective tax rate between the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the
three months ended March 31, 2010 is mainly due to the U.K. tax deduction on intra-group
interest expense no longer being an allowable deduction effective October 1, 2010. |

In addition to disclosing results of operations that are determined in accordance with
GAAP, the chart above shows non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of foreign
exchange, U.S. corporate overhead costs and amortization costs on our current period results.
Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful
information to investors regarding our companys results of operations, as these non-GAAP
measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance. Investors should
consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The chart also provides a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. |

Revenues |
Total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2011, before the unfavorable impact of
foreign exchange rates, increased by $4.0 million, or 3.0%, to $138.9 million, compared with
$134.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010. Contributing to the increase in
revenues was homecare revenues which grew by 7.7% to $123.5 million. Acquisitions contributed
8.9%, or $10.2 million, to homecare revenues. Nursing homes revenues declined by 27.1% to $7.1
million. Hospitals revenues decreased by 20.4% to $8.3 million. After the unfavorable impact
of currency exchange of $0.5 million, revenues decreased to $138.4 million. |
Gross Profit |
Gross profit, before the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, increased 5.5% to $43.1
million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 from $40.8 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2010. Homecare gross profit grew 9.6% to $38.8 million. Acquisitions contributed
$3.2 million, or 9.0%, to homecare gross profit. Nursing homes gross profit declined 27.6% to
$2.3 million and hospitals gross profit declined 12.3% to $2.0 million. Changes in foreign
exchange decreased gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2011 by $0.2 million. As a
result of the foregoing, gross profit increased to $42.9 million for the six months ended March
31, 2011 compared to $40.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of
5.1%. As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2011
was 31.0%, as compared to 30.3% for the comparable prior period. The improvement from 30.3% to
31.0% is due to the sales mix change within our hospital staffing business and also a reduction
in some of our lower homecare margin service lines arising from the Comprehensive Spending
Review. We continue to focus on efforts to maintain our normal 30% range of expectation gross
margin percentage despite on-going pricing pressures and national insurance changes, which have
gone into effect in April 2011, which could impact us. |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses |
Total SG&A expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2011, before the favorable impact of
foreign exchange, increased by $3.6 million, or 10.9% to $37.0 million (26.7% of revenues)
compared to $33.4 million (24.8% of revenues) for the six months ended March 31, 2010.
Acquisitions contributed 7.0%, or $2.2 million, to the 10.6% increase in SG&A,
excluding US corporate overhead costs and amortization costs. The remaining increase is
mainly a result of us incurring additional costs, in the current fiscal year, in certain areas
of our business mainly related to the opening of new branches, investment in specialized
service lines which include continuing care and learning disabilities, and costs associated
with process improvements including the roll out of our new IT system, all to ensure that we
support future growth in revenues. For the six months ended March 31, 2011 our training costs
were reduced by training support grants in respect of training provided to carers of $0.8
million, which was partially offset by grant-related monitoring and compliance costs incurred
of $0.4 million. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, we had a reduction in training costs
from receipts of training support grants of $0.7 million, which was partially offset by
grant-related monitoring and compliance costs incurred of $0.4 million. However, lower U.K.
government spending arising from the Comprehensive Spending Review may result in lower training
support grants being awarded, which may increase our training costs. At the same time, we
maintain tight controls over other areas of SG&A costs. The increase in U.S. corporate
overhead costs is mainly attributable to amounts incurred in our continuous efforts to
increase shareholder value over time. Changes in foreign exchange decreased the reported SG&A
result by $0.1 million to $36.9 million compared to $33.4 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2010. |

Table of Contents
Interest Income |
Total interest income for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.2 million compared to
$0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010. |
Foreign exchange loss |
Total foreign exchange loss for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $18 thousand compared
to $0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010. Foreign exchange is impacted by
gains or losses resulting from foreign currency exchange fluctuations on our intercompany
obligations for which settlement is intended. |
Provision for Income Taxes |
We recorded a provision for income taxes amounting to $2.1 million or 33.9% of income before
income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a provision of $1.9 million
or 25.5% of income before income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2010. The
difference in the effective tax rate between the six months ended March 31, 2011 and the six
months ended March 31, 2010 is mainly due to the U.K. tax deduction on intra-group interest
expense no longer being an allowable deduction effective October 1, 2010. |
Net Income |
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded net income of $4.1 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2011 compared to net income of $5.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010. |
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest |
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.3 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2011. |
Net Income Attributable to Allied Healthcare International Inc. |
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded net income attributable to Allied Healthcare
International Inc. of $3.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to net
income attributable to Allied Healthcare International Inc. of $5.5 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2010. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources |
General |
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, we generated $8.2 million of cash from operating
activities. Cash requirements for the six months ended March 31, 2011 for accounts payable and
other liabilities ($1.8 million), capital expenditures ($2.7 million), payments for
acquisitions ($1.2 million) and repayments of debt and capital lease obligations ($2.6 million)
were met through cash on hand. Our cash flow is susceptible to the timing of our payroll
payments. In the current six
month period we had a higher payroll and related expenses accrual of $19.4 million as compared
to $18.0 million for the six month period ended March 31, 2010. |
Page 33
Table of Contents
At March 31, 2011 our cash balance was $41.5 million, an increase of $2.5 million from $39.0
million at September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to the benefit of accelerated
cash collections, mainly from the local governmental bodies, as a result of the end of their
fiscal period. |
We believe existing capital resources and those to be generated from operating activities will
be adequate to conduct our operations for the next twelve months. |
Accounts Receivable |
We maintain a cash management program that focuses on the reimbursement function, as growth in
accounts receivable has been the main operating use of cash historically. At March 31, 2011 and
September 30, 2010, $20.0 million (10.2%) and $20.1 million (10.6%), respectively, of our total
assets consisted of accounts receivable. |
Our goal is to maintain accounts receivable levels equal to or less than 45 days (including
unbilled accounts receivable), which would tend to mitigate the risk of negative cash flows
from operations by reducing the required investment in accounts receivable and thereby
increasing cash flows from operations. We maintain credit controls to ensure cash collection
on a timely basis. Days sales outstanding (DSOs), excluding unbilled accounts receivable,
is a measure of the average number of days taken by our company to collect its accounts
receivable, calculated from the date services are invoiced. The timing of our invoicing and
cash collections as well as the pattern of our weekly invoicing cycles causes fluctuations in
our monthly DSOs. At March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, our average DSOs, excluding
unbilled accounts receivable, were 26. At March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, our average
DSOs, including unbilled accounts receivable were 41 and 43, respectively. |
At March 31, 2011 gross receivables, excluding unapplied cash and surcharges, were $22.3
million, of which $18.6 million or 83.4% were represented by amounts due from governmental
bodies, either the local governmental social service departments or health and social care
departments (SHSD) or the NHS. At September 30, 2010 gross receivables, excluding unapplied
cash and surcharges, were $22.2 million, of which $17.6 million or 79.5% were represented by
amounts due from governmental bodies. The remaining accounts receivable balance is due from
commercial payors (nursing homes and private hospitals) and private payors. |

(A) | Surcharges represent interest charges to customers on overdue accounts.
The surcharges are recognized in income only upon receipt of payment. |
Each fiscal year we undertake a review of our methodology and procedure for reserving for
our doubtful accounts. This process also takes into account our actual experience of write
offs in the period. The policy is then applied at each quarter end to arrive at a closing
reserve for doubtful accounts. See Critical Accounting PoliciesAccounts Receivable, for a
description of our methodology procedure. |
Given the high percentage of U.K. governmental debt, the large number of customer accounts with
low-value debt within the remainder of the accounts receivable ledger and the methodology for
making provisions for doubtful accounts, we believe our provisioning method is prudent and
appropriate to our business. |
We provide homecare aides and nurses on the basis of terms (payment due within 7 to 30 days of
invoice) and prices (rate per hour or fraction of an hour) agreed to in advance with our
customers. The work is either logged by electronic call monitoring or time sheets are signed
by clients for the work performed and then invoices are generated based on agreed billing
rates. Consequently, there is no process for approval of invoices. Our credit control
policies currently achieve an average collection of approximately 26 days from submission of
invoices. |
As our current operations are in the U.K. and Ireland and the majority of accounts receivable
are from governmental bodies for which payment terms and prices are agreed in advance, we have
not recorded any contractual allowances. |
Debt and Capital Leases |
See Leases and Debt below under Commitments. |
Commitments |
Employment Agreements |
We have employment agreements with our two executive officers that provide for minimum
aggregate annual base compensation of approximately $0.6 million (at the exchange rate at
March 31, 2011), in fiscal 2011. |
Page 35
Table of Contents
In January 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Sandy Young, our chief executive
officer. The employment agreement is terminable by either Mr. Young or the company by giving
not less than twelve months prior written notice to the other party or automatically on Mr.
Youngs 65th birthday. We may terminate Mr. Youngs employment immediately by
paying salary in lieu of notice for the twelve-month notice period. The salary of Mr. Young
is currently £222,832 (approximately $357,290 at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011). In
addition, pursuant to his employment agreement: |
| we awarded Mr. Young 0.2 million stock options in February 2008; |
| we granted Mr. Young 0.6 million stock appreciation rights in April 2009, the terms
of which are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for our period ended March 31, 2011 under Stock Appreciation Rights; |
| we provide Mr. Young with a car allowance; and |
| we agreed to make a payment equal to 15% of Mr. Youngs annual salary towards his
U.K.-based private pension fund. In February 2011, we agreed with Mr. Young that we
would make this payment directly to him rather than to his U.K.-based pension fund
and, in connection therewith, we agreed to reimburse him for the amount of the tax due
on such increased payment. For 2011, the amount of such reimbursement is expected to
be approximately £4,600 (approximately $7,375 at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011). |
In May 2008 we entered into an employment agreement with Paul Weston, our chief financial
officer. Our employment agreement with Mr. Weston provides that either party may terminate the
agreement upon six months written notice. Under certain circumstances, we may terminate Mr.
Westons employment immediately by paying salary in lieu of notice for the six-month notice
period. In addition, under our employment agreement with Mr. Weston, we are required to pay
him 12 months salary in the event he is terminated due to an acquisition. Our employment
agreement with Mr. Weston further provides that Mr. Weston will not compete against us for a
period of six months following the termination of his employment with us. Pursuant to his
employment agreement, Mr. Weston currently receives a salary of £164,472 (approximately
$263,715 at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011). In addition, pursuant to his employment
agreement with us, Mr. Weston receives a car allowance and we have agreed to make a payment
equal to 15% of his annual salary towards his U.K.-based private pension fund. |
Leases |
We have entered into various operating lease agreements for office space and equipment,
as well as housing accommodations used by HILG in providing social care. Certain of these
operating leases provide for renewal options. Of the $5.3 million operating lease obligations
at March 31, 2011, $0.3 million relates to properties that are owned by the noncontrolling
interest holders. In connection with our acquisition of HILG, we assumed various capital
lease agreements mainly related to leased vehicles. The present value of the net minimum
capital lease payments estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis was $0.5 million at
March 31, 2011. |
Debt |
In connection with our acquisition of HILG, we assumed debt related to two invoice
discounting facilities and a bank loan for the funding of capital expenditures. The invoice
discounting facilities provide for available funds of up to $1.5 million (at the exchange rate
at March 31, 2011) that mature in April and June of 2011. The loans bear interest at rates
equal to LIBOR plus 2.0% with a minimum of 4.0% per annum. As of March 31, 2011 and September
30, 2010, we had outstanding borrowings of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, under
the invoice discounting facilities and a bank loan
that bore interest at rates ranging from 4.0% to 4.7%. |

operating system, both contractual and non-contractual, including software, hardware, hosting
services and training costs, of approximately $7.1 million (at the exchange rate at March 31,
2011), of which $5.6 million has been incurred in fiscals 2009 and 2010 and in the six months
ended March 31, 2011 and $1.5 million is expected to be incurred in the six months ended
September 30, 2011 through fiscal 2012. We anticipate that funding will come from our

Treasury Shares |
In January 2001, we initiated a stock repurchase program, whereby we were authorized to
purchase up
to approximately $1.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock in open-market
transactions or in privately-negotiated transactions. In May 2003, we initiated a second
stock repurchase program, pursuant to which we were authorized to purchase up to an additional
$3.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock in open-market transactions or in
privately-negotiated transactions. In May 2010, these two stock purchase programs were
terminated and we initiated a new stock repurchase program, whereby we may purchase up to
approximately $10 million of our outstanding shares of common stock in open-market
transactions or in privately-negotiated transactions. In fiscal 2010 we purchased 1.6 million
shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3.8 million under our May 2010 stock repurchase
program. As of March 31, 2011, we had acquired an aggregate of 2.0 million shares of our
common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5.1 million pursuant to our stock repurchase
programs (including stock repurchase programs which have been terminated), which are reflected
as treasury stock in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011. In addition, as of
March 31, 2011, we had acquired 0.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate value
of $1.0 million from certain of our former executive officers. Such shares were acquired in
fiscal 2004 and delivered to us as payment on promissory notes issued by us to them. |

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Foreign Currency Exchange
We face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures
may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on
our consolidated financial results. Currently, we do not hedge foreign currency exchange rate
exposures.
The translation of the operating results of our U.K. operations is impacted by fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates. For the year to date fiscal 2011 period as compared to the
year to date fiscal 2010 average rate, the translation of our U.K. financial statements into
U.S. dollars resulted in decreased revenues of $0.5 million, decreased operating income of $30
thousand and decreased net income of $15 thousand. We estimate that a 10% change in the
exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar would have a $13.8 million, $0.8
million and $0.4 million impact on reported year to date revenues, operating income and net
income, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our invoice
discount facilities. Our invoice discounting facilities provide for available funds of up to
$1.5 million (at the exchange rate at March 31, 2011) and mature in April and June of 2011. We
had outstanding borrowings of $0.4 million and $0.2 million under the invoice discounting
facilities at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Our remaining debt and
capital lease obligations are at fixed interest rates. As such, we believe our exposure to
interest rate risk to be minimal.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our companys management, with the
participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, has evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011. |
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, disclosure controls and
procedures are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. |
Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit to
the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Under the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is defined as
a process designed by, or under the supervision of, an issuers principal executive and
principal financial officers, and effected by the issuers board of directors, management and
other personnel, to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. |
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. |
