2,500,000 Shares

WhiteGlove Health, Inc.

Common Stock

 

 

This is our initial public offering and no public market currently exists for our shares. We are selling 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. We expect that the initial public offering price of our common stock will be between $9.00 and $13.00 per share.

We have applied to list our common stock on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “WGH”. In order to list our common stock on the NYSE Amex, we will be required to sell at least $15 million of our common stock at a minimum price per share of at least $2.00 and have a minimum public distribution of 1 million shares with a minimum of at least 400 public shareholders. If for any reason we are unable to meet the listing requirements of the NYSE Amex, the Company and the underwriters will not proceed with the offering.

 

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” on page 17 to read about factors you should consider before buying shares of our common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(1) See “Plan of Distribution” on page 120 of this prospectus to read about the underwriting discount.

To the extent that the underwriters sell more than 2,500,000 shares of common stock, the underwriters have the option to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares from certain selling stockholders at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discount. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

The method of distribution being used by the underwriters in this offering differs somewhat from that traditionally employed in firm commitment underwritten public offerings. In particular, the initial public offering price and allocation of shares will be determined primarily by an auction process conducted by the underwriters and other securities dealers participating in this offering. In addition, the underwriters are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of our common stock but have agreed to use their best efforts to procure potential purchasers for the shares of common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus. The minimum size of any bid is 100 shares. Potential purchasers will be required to open a brokerage account with one of the underwriters and deposit money into such account in order to bid in the auction process. Funds will be maintained in such customer’s separate account, will not be escrowed, and no money will be debited from such account until trade settlement. Potential purchasers may cancel or modify their bids at any time prior to the closing of the auction. A more detailed description of this process, known as an OpenIPO®, is included in “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 120.

 

 

The underwriters expect to deliver the shares to purchasers on [                    ], 2011.

Our Business

WhiteGlove Health is a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization. Founded in 2006 and incorporated in 2007, we believe we are offering a new innovative delivery system that has the ability to break the health care cost trend in the U.S., unlike the current health care delivery systems, and improve the consumer health care experience and employee productivity. Our innovative business model and our provider network made up of nurse practitioners, together with our significant use of advanced technology, allow us to provide medical care, certain generic medications, and more, at a much lower cost when compared to most health care delivery systems in the U.S.

WhiteGlove provides mobile primary and chronic medical care to its members in certain major metropolitan markets in the U.S. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately 484,000 individual, employer and insurance plan members in seven major metropolitan markets (Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; Phoenix, AZ; and San Antonio, TX), and have announced expansion into Nashville, TN and Tucson, AZ, with plans to expand to up to 10 new markets per year. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately 23,000 enrolled members across all of the markets we serve for which we are paid a monthly, semi-annual or annual membership fee. In addition, WhiteGlove has entered into agreements with Aetna and Humana whereby they pay us a monthly membership fee (capitation rate) to provide services to approximately 461,000 members of their full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas. We target densely populated markets with a concentration of self-insured employers and high health care costs, among other factors. Our membership enrollment grew by triple digit percentages in 2008, 2009, and 2010. The company’s ultimate objective is to provide a national service to its members, giving them the same, consistent, affordable, high quality health care experience across all of the markets we serve.

WhiteGlove is not a health insurance plan. Health insurance plans: (i) deliver healthcare services to individuals enrolled in the plan through agreements with providers; (ii) have financial incentives for persons enrolled in the plan to use the participating providers and procedures provided for by the plan (e.g. in-network vs. out-of-network); (iii) have deductibles, co-pays, minimum and maximum out-of-pocket expenses; and (iv) assume risk. WhiteGlove has none of these attributes.

WhiteGlove continues to enjoy exceptional feedback and reviews from its members. According to Citysearch.com, as of March 31, 2010, WhiteGlove had more 5-star reviews than any other company in the U.S. Additionally, WhiteGlove was acknowledged in 2010 by Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) as a company with one of the three most innovative “Approaches to the Delivery of Health Care” in the country.

As a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization, WhiteGlove delivers:

 

   

convenient access to medical care and information;

 

   

affordable fixed pricing that lowers the cost for everyone;

 

   

an exceptional, service-oriented health care experience; and

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

 

 

 

 

   

proactive information pertaining to clinical care, the health care experience, health care encounters and cost savings.

We believe we have several significant distinct advantages over our competitors. Specifically:

 

   

Health Care Experience. The WhiteGlove Experience gives its members easy access to an exceptional, service-oriented health care experience, 365 days a year, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at a member’s desired location (e.g., home, work, hotel). WhiteGlove’s Mobile Primary Care Membership Service, or MPC, brings primary medical care, certain generic prescription medications, over-the-counter medications and Well-kits (consisting of chicken soup, crackers, Gatorade, applesauce, cough drops, Kleenex and much more) to its members. WhiteGlove’s Mobile Chronic Care Membership Service, or MCC, brings chronic medical care, certain generic prescription medications, and diagnostic testing to its members.

 

   

Business Model. WhiteGlove’s business model is different from the traditional fee-for-service reimbursement model that most health care providers rely on. Instead, WhiteGlove is a membership (subscription) based business (like Costco or AAA) with an all-inclusive, fixed visit fee, which brings predictability and certainty to the cost of health care for employers and consumers. WhiteGlove does not file insurance claims for any of the visits or the generic prescription medications prescribed to any of its employer or consumer members that pay us directly for their memberships. This business model is especially attractive to self-insured employers and those consumers on consumer driven health plans, e.g., high deductible health plans (HDHP) with or without a health savings account (HSA).

 

   

Customer Acquisition. Most health care providers reactively cater to consumers that walk in or call and request medical care, relying mainly on visit volume and the number of procedures they perform to make their money. WhiteGlove’s growth is being driven by proactively selling directly to employers and quantifying the business value of its Corporate Membership Program to self-insured employers. Like other health care providers, WhiteGlove also has consumers join every day and request medical care.

 

   

Proprietary Web and Mobile Technology. A significant advantage of WhiteGlove is a reliance on the use of proprietary technology which allows us to deliver a high quality health care experience at a reasonable price point. The company has built, and continues to build, proprietary technology that links together all the constituents with one single integrated technology platform. Specifically, our technology platform links together:

 

   

our members;

 

   

the employers;

 

   

the diagnostic laboratories and pharmacies; and

 

   

our membership support, clinical, sales, marketing, account management, and back-office billing functions.

Our use of such proprietary technology enables us to automate the business and clinical treatment, reduce overhead and errors, optimize workflow, deliver unique member value, and erect significant barriers to entry.

We currently operate in seven major metropolitan markets. We have identified more than 250 major metropolitan markets as attractive markets for WhiteGlove’s service. We believe these expansion markets offer tremendous potential for company growth. We intend to continue to grow our business by remaining intensely focused on the consumer’s health care experience, increasing employer adoption of WhiteGlove in all the markets we serve, expanding service availability to new major metropolitan markets, broadening our scope of care and service offerings and continuing to innovate using advanced technology.

Historical and Current Operations

WhiteGlove began operating in the Austin, TX market in 2007, expanded into Dallas, TX in 2008 and further expanded into San Antonio, TX, Fort Worth, TX and Houston, TX in 2009. During that time period, WhiteGlove’s business model and customer acquisition strategy focused on acquiring individual, health insurance company and employer members in our Texas markets. As a result, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 approximately 99.6% of WhiteGlove’s revenue was derived from our Texas markets and 53.6% of our revenue was derived from our health insurance company relationships. Approximately 78.0% and 79.7% of our gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, represented receivables due from health insurance companies.

During 2009, WhiteGlove shifted its primary customer acquisition strategy to market and sell directly to self-insured employers in Texas and beyond. As a result of this strategic shift, employer members as a percentage of total enrolled members has increased from zero percent in 2008 to 23.8% in 2009, 44.7% in 2010, and 59.1% as of June 30, 2011. As of 2009, WhiteGlove has elected not to pursue relationships with any health insurance companies in Texas or other markets, except for those already established with Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare in the Texas markets. As we expand into new markets outside of Texas in 2011 and in future years, we expect revenue from our health insurance company relationships to decline as a percentage of total revenue and revenue from employer members and individual members to increase as a percentage of our total revenue.

During 2010, WhiteGlove began expanding outside of Texas with the opening of the Boston, MA service area on November 1, 2010 and the Phoenix, AZ service area on January 1, 2011. We are currently expanding into additional market areas outside of Texas and therefore expect that revenues from service areas outside of Texas will represent an increasing percentage of our total revenue.

WhiteGlove generates revenue and incurs expenses as follows:

Our net revenues primarily consist of membership fees received and compensation for the services we provide to our members. Members are charged fees in connection with our membership services and the treatment services provided, as follows:

 

   

Membership fees—All of our members not covered under an insurer membership agreement, discussed below, are charged a membership fee. The current membership fee varies depending on the membership type.

 

   

Treatment services—Members are charged a fee for each visit. The treatment services fee for employer and individual members that pay us directly is $35, and the fee varies for members associated with a health insurance company in Texas depending on the member’s designated financial responsibility under their plan with the health insurance company.

In November 2010, we entered into an agreement with Aetna, under which we recognize revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Aetna’s full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas and adjusted based on their members’ utilization of our services. In February 2011, we entered into an agreement with Humana, under which we recognize revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Humana’s full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas. Under our arrangements with Aetna and Humana, the number of health insurance company members covered under the applicable plans is adjusted monthly; the membership fee (capitation rate) is reviewed quarterly and may remain at the same level or be

Index to Financial Statements

 

 

 

adjusted up or down for future periods depending on the number of services provided in the prior quarterly time period. We invoice the health insurance companies monthly for the amounts applicable to that month, and payment is due from the health insurance companies within 30 days.

Cost of revenues consists primarily of the salaries, benefits, and other personnel costs of our clinical service personnel, transportation costs, medications and medical supplies, and Well-kits provided to our members. These costs are driven by the number of member visits and the total number of members.

We classify our operating expenses into the following categories:

 

   

Salaries, Benefits, and Other Personnel Costs;

 

   

Advertising and Marketing Costs;

 

   

Provision for Doubtful Accounts;

 

   

Depreciation; and

 

   

Other General and Administrative Costs.

Our Solution

As a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization, WhiteGlove offers two types of membership services to its members: Mobile Primary Care and Mobile Chronic Care. WhiteGlove’s Membership Services are designed to lower and cap consumers’ and employers’ health care costs for the services we provide, while giving the consumer an exceptional health care experience. Our Membership Services are available to consumers and employers and are described below.

Mobile Primary Care Membership Service

This Membership Service was launched in August 2007. Members enrolled in WhiteGlove’s MPC Service enjoy medical care, delivered by nurse practitioners, or NPs, and phlebotomists, that comes to them to address their primary care needs. This service is available when a member is not feeling well (Get-Well Care) or when a member needs diagnostic tests or a wellness exam (Stay-Well Care). Well-kits containing chicken soup, crackers, Gatorade, Kleenex, cough drops, applesauce, and more, together with generic prescription medications, are supplied to our members as part of this service at no additional cost.

WhiteGlove has relationships with licensed pharmacists to repackage bulk generic prescription medications into appropriate doses that may be dispensed at the time of our visit in compliance with applicable state and federal law. In the event that a member needs additional prescription medications beyond those dispensed at the time of our visit, our system sends a prescription to Walmart for generic prescription medications which will then be delivered to the member. Please see our risk factor on page 28 in “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Regulation”.

Our members use WhiteGlove’s MPC service to address most of the ailments that are commonly addressed during visits to a primary care doctor’s office, a retail clinic, or a minor emergency center. Our scope of care includes complaints like colds, flu, sinus infections, coughs, sore throats, urinary tract infections, headaches, nausea, vomiting, minor burns, skin rash, earaches, and much more. In addition, our members can contact us for lab work, physicals (sports/camp/back-to-school), wellness assessments, and vaccines.

Our MPC scope-of-care includes:

 

Get-Well Care

   Stay-Well Care

Ear, Nose, Throat

   Lab Work

Skin, Hair, Nail

   Vaccines

Respiratory

   Physicals

Digestive and Urinary

   Screenings

WhiteGlove believes it provides approximately 70% of the medical services handled in a typical primary care setting. The most notable differences between the medical services we provide and those typically found in primary care settings are: x-rays; ultrasound; suturing; retinal, pelvic, genital and rectal exams; advanced cardiology evaluations; and treatment of chronic depression, chronic pain, addiction and pregnancy. Our MPC service does not address medical matters that typically require a specialist. WhiteGlove administers approximately 90 individual diagnostic labs and panels. We gather the sample from our member, at their home or work, prepare the sample and send it to some of the largest diagnostic labs in the country. Within a one to two day period, WhiteGlove receives the lab results digitally and our system automatically posts them to the member’s health portal, sends the member an email that their results are available for viewing on-line, and has one of our clinical people contact the member and discuss their results with them.

Mobile Chronic Care Membership Services

This Membership Service was launched in January 2011. Members enrolled in WhiteGlove’s MCC service enjoy medical care, delivered by NPs and phlebotomists, that comes to them, phone consultation and follow-up, automated scheduling of phone, in-person, and diagnostic appointments, automated diagnostic test monitoring, and delivery of generic prescription medications. Typical generic prescription medications are supplied to our members as part of this service, at no additional cost. An MCC member does not have to be an MPC member as well.

Our Mobile Chronic Care Membership Services address the following chronic conditions:

 

Blood Pressure

   Diabetes (Type-2)

Cholesterol

   Thyroid

WhiteGlove Corporate Membership Program

In May 2011, the PwC Health Research Institute issued their study “Behind the Numbers: Medical Cost Trends 2012”, indicating that health care costs are expected to increase 8% in 2011. With such an increase, not including the additional cost associated with health care reform, for most employers simply redesigning their health plan is not enough. We believe that those employers that approach health care costs as a business problem and not a human resource problem are able to dramatically lower their health care costs using WhiteGlove.

Under WhiteGlove’s Corporate Membership Program, employers can enroll their employees and dependents in WhiteGlove’s MPC and MCC Services at a discounted price to our retail membership rates to break the trend of increasing health care costs while improving their employees’ productivity.

We help employers break their health care cost trend because we:

 

   

cap their medical services and prescription medication costs that are within the scope of our services;

 

   

do not file insurance claims for any of our visits or the generic prescription medications that we prescribe;

 

   

eliminate between 68% to 75% of the expensive urgent care and emergency room use for primary care by their employees;

 

   

reduce the number of times employees are absent from work for medical matters (for themselves or family members); and

 

   

reduce the likelihood of large unexpected claims hitting the employer’s health insurance plan.

This translates into significant savings for both self-insured employers and their employees and dependents.

For years now, employers have worked with benefits brokers to try to lower their health care costs and ultimately break the cost trend. The two most common strategies have been: (1) plan re-designs that shift the cost to their employees, and (2) lower health care utilization by administering wellness programs. Based upon the double-digit increases absorbed by employers and their employees over the last 5 years, these strategies appear to be failing. What has been missing is a higher quality, lower cost medical delivery system that will improve the health care experience and ultimately break the cost trend for employers and employees. WhiteGlove brings an innovative approach to employers to finally break their health care cost trend and begin to lower overall health care spending for employers, and their employees and dependents. We turn an unpredictable, variable cost for health care for employers into a predictable, affordable, fixed cost for the scope of services we provide. For the employees and their dependents, we offer a per visit fee that is fixed at $35. Beyond the cost savings, 99% of the time, our member satisfaction surveys communicate to us that their employees and dependents enjoy an excellent health care experience.

U.S. Healthcare Expenditures

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Offices of the Actuary, National Health Statistics Group, annual spending on healthcare in the U.S. was approximately $2.486 trillion in 2009. Of the approximately $2.486 trillion in spending, $755 billion was spent on physician and clinical services (medical services) and prescription drugs. This excludes hospital care,

dental services, home health care, nursing care, durable and non-durable medical equipment and products, government administration, and public health activities, all of which WhiteGlove does not provide. In addition, WhiteGlove does not serve the Medicaid or Medicare markets today nor does it provide services to other governmental sponsored insurance programs, further reducing the $755 billion by $308 billion. The result is annual spending of $447 billion paid for by private health insurance sponsored by employers and individuals’ out of pocket expenditures. WhiteGlove believes that it is capable of addressing approximately 70% of this $447 billion spent on medical services and prescription drugs by private health insurance plans and individuals.

Total Addressable Market

We believe the market opportunity for WhiteGlove is large. While WhiteGlove believes that it is capable of impacting much of the $447 billion spent annually on medical services and prescription drugs described above, this is not how we calculate our Total Addressable Market (TAM). Instead, we compute our TAM by looking at the number of employees and dependents that work for employers that are self-insured. The table below shows the percentages of workers that are on self-funded plans.

Source: Kaiser/HRET Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Benefits, 1999-2010.

WhiteGlove’s primary customer acquisition strategy is to market and sell directly to self-insured employers. According to United Benefit Advisors in 2010, 4.2% of employers with 100-199 employees are self-insured, 33.7% of employers with 200-499 employees are self-insured, and according to ehow.com, 60% of employers with more than 500 employees were self-insured in 2009.

This represents approximately 44,153,792 employees in the U.S. (using the percentages above multiplied by the respective number of employees in firms of the three sizes) of the 114,817,260 employed by employers of these three sizes, according to the U.S. Census Bureau Statistics of U.S. Business 2008. With an estimated two dependents for each employee, our target market consists of a total of approximately 132,461,375 people. Using our employer pricing for MPC and MCC memberships and $35 a visit, we are able to compute our total addressable market.

This target market represents an estimated annual TAM of approximately $91 billion, of which approximately $68 billion is membership fees, using WhiteGlove’s employer rates. This is WhiteGlove’s target market.

Our Competitive Differentiation

First Mover Position, Within and Across Key Cities

As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately 484,000 individual, employer, and insurance plan members in seven major metropolitan markets (Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; Phoenix, AZ; and San Antonio, TX), with plans to expand across the U.S. The company’s ultimate objective is to provide a national service to its members giving them the same, consistent,

affordable, high quality health care experience across all of the markets it serves. We intend to continue to capitalize on our first mover advantage by expanding rapidly to other major metropolitan markets with the support of advanced technology that enables very cost effective and rapid expansion into these markets.

Service-Driven Approach

WhiteGlove appreciates that there are many primary care and chronic care choices for the consumer. Specifically, the options are primary care physicians or physician groups, concierge doctors/services, retail clinics, urgent care centers, minor emergency clinics, hospitals, wellness centers, and telemedicine services. We believe WhiteGlove’s Service-Driven approach to health care sets us apart from the others.

Convenient Access

WhiteGlove brings medical care, generic prescription medications, diagnostic tests, and more to its members. While some concierge services will bring medical care to their patients, others simply make themselves available via the phone within a certain period of time. In either case, their service is generally limited to just providing medical care and does not include prescription medications or other incidentals. For all other choices, the consumer has to drive to the health care provider when it works for the provider’s schedule and then travel around for diagnostic tests, prescription medications, and other incidentals.

Affordable Fixed Cost

WhiteGlove’s business model is based on affordable fixed cost membership fees and a fixed cost all-inclusive visit fee of $35 (includes most generic prescription medications, and other incidentals). We file no claims against an employer’s or an individual member’s health plan. The combination of fixed fees and no claims lowers and caps the overall cost of health care for employers for the services we provide. For consumers, we lower and cap the cost as well, to $35 per visit. Most other health care choices are reimbursed based on a fee-for-service model where they charge the consumer and the health plan for every service performed, making health care costs variable and unpredictable. In addition, the consumer spends money on some combination of gas, parking, tolls, multiple co-pays, child care, and incidentals, only adding to the variable cost. In the case of most concierge services, their annual fee is generally between $1,500-$3,000 per year, which is not affordable for the average consumer. WhiteGlove has a broad scope of care, and we believe we provide approximately 70% of the medical services handled in a typical primary care setting. The most notable differences between the medical services we provide and those typically found in primary care settings are: x-rays; ultrasound; suturing; retinal, pelvic, genital and rectal exams; advanced cardiology evaluations; and treatment of chronic depression, chronic pain, addiction or pregnancy.

Exceptional Experience

WhiteGlove is a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization. Beyond bringing almost everything to our members, on their schedule, we train our team to provide the highest quality health care experience at every member ‘touch point.’ With the exception of concierge services that are intended

to make accessing medical care easier and more personalized, the other choices generally make access to health care more challenging and the experience more frustrating, rushed, and unpleasant than our health care experience.

Proactive Information

WhiteGlove is very committed to the use of advanced technology to deliver proactive information to its members, employers and the WhiteGlove personnel. Our technology provides our members and our personnel with web-based access to the member’s medical records, medical history, medical costs, lab results, prescriptions for medications and more. To our knowledge, none of the other choices provide such easy access to this kind of information.

As Clayton Christensen describes in the Innovator’s Prescription, disruptive innovators have disruptive technology coupled with a disruptive business model to provide more affordable, simpler products or services than the incumbents do. WhiteGlove has done exactly that for health care. The services that we provide represent a high percentage of those provided in a physician’s office, urgent care center, and emergency room for primary and chronic care, but in a simpler way, and at a fraction of the overall cost.

A Brand Synonymous with Service-Driven Healthcare

We believe the WhiteGlove brand embodies our objective to lower the cost of health care while giving our members an exceptional health care experience.

Our Integrated Technology Platform

We believe our proprietary technology platform separates us from the others. It was designed to provide lower cost, more effective, mobile health care using an underlying membership-based business model. We believe the experience of our management team in creating and operating a large-scale integrated technology platform gives us a significant competitive advantage over our competitors.

Our Strategy

As a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization, our mission is to continue to bring the necessary change and innovation to health care in the U.S. to lower health care costs while improving the consumer’s health care experience. To achieve this, our strategy includes:

Remaining Intensely Focused on the Consumer’s Health Care Experience

We provide a refreshing health care experience that eliminates the hassles and inconveniences of running to your doctor, waiting, running to the pharmacy, waiting, and running to the grocery store—when the consumer or the consumer’s child feels their worst. We allow our members to request a visit over the web or by phone; have their medical history filled out in advance on-line; be diagnosed and treated based on the member’s schedule, at home or at work; have foods, beverages, and medications delivered to the member; and have a customer-focused health care experience. We also provide technology enabled prompt follow-up calls after each member visit.

Accelerating Employer Adoption of WhiteGlove

WhiteGlove has enjoyed tremendous growth by selling directly to employers and enrolling their employees and dependents as WhiteGlove members. WhiteGlove has departed from traditional fee-for-service reimbursement and instead, our primary source of revenue comes from membership

fees. Unlike other health care provider systems that are dependent upon reimbursement from a dozen or more insurance companies for their source of revenue, WhiteGlove’s business model is focused on selling memberships to employers and our goal is to diversify our revenue source across thousands of employers in the years to come. We intend to continue to proactively market and sell to self-insured employers in all markets that WhiteGlove serves.

Expanding Service Availability to New Major Metropolitan Markets

WhiteGlove’s objective is to provide a national service that is available to our members, 365 days a year, in the markets we serve. In 2011, WhiteGlove intends to launch its service in five to seven new metropolitan markets—such as Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; Hartford, CT; Kansas City, MO; Milwaukee, WI; Minneapolis, MN; Nashville, TN; Pittsburgh, PA; Tucson, AZ; and others. In 2012 and beyond, the company intends to continue its expansion into up to ten new markets per year.

Continuing to Innovate Using Advanced Technology

One of WhiteGlove’s founding principles has been to leverage technology in unique ways to:

 

   

Improve access and quality of experience. We leverage our technology platform to make scheduling appointments easier, provide our members continuous online access to their medical information, including their medical records, medical history, diagnostic results, visit results, prescription medications, and medical expenses, ensure timely follow-up after member care visits, and implement treatment plans to quality standards.

 

   

Lower the cost of health care. We leverage our technology platform to streamline our operations, which significantly lowers our operating overhead and expenses, and reduces errors.

 

   

Erect competitive barriers. Our fully integrated information technology system links together all of the constituents inside and outside our business (from front-office to back-office), which raises competitive barriers.

Continuing to Look for Ways to Cap and Lower Health Care Costs

Today, health care costs are a variable expense for consumers, employers, and health insurance companies. Consumers are forced to do all of the running around and bear much of the costs, in both time and money—when it is convenient for the medical provider. Consumers generally spend money for the visits, prescription medications, gas, parking, tolls, over-the-counter medications, groceries, and even child care, making health care an unpredictable expense that adds up. For self-insured employers, health care costs are unpredictable, variable, and generally rising at a rate much faster than inflation. Each time an employee or dependent seeks medical care, claims are paid by the employer for the medical services, prescription medications, labs, and more; and for fully-insured and individual plans of health insurance companies, their costs are no different than for the self-insured employers.

WhiteGlove will continue to implement and use enabling technology, such as web and mobile applications, business and clinical intelligence and on demand information, automated workflow and treatment—all in order to deliver the highest value to our members, improve the efficiency of our operations, and ensure effective management and governance. In the end, the company is focused on pursuing operational excellence and standardizing and streamlining end-to-end administrative and clinical processes. We believe our continued development and implementation of technology in our operations, combined with our innovative membership services, lowers and caps the overall health care costs for consumers and employers in the U.S.

Recent Developments

With our continued effort to bring innovation to healthcare to lower the cost of care while improving the healthcare experience, on May 1, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Americare Services, Inc. (“Americare”) to provide our members the opportunity for a phone consultation with a doctor, under certain circumstances, instead of an in-person visit from one of our nurse practitioners. This service will be seamlessly integrated into the WhiteGlove experience. When our member contacts us for medical care, we will determine if a phone consultation is possible and something our member desires or not. If they do, we will schedule the visit with Americare and give them access to the member’s medical history and medical record. Americare will schedule a phone consultation between our member, an Americare nurse and a board certified doctor in the member’s state within three hours of our member’s initial call. After the phone consultation, Americare’s nurse will complete the member’s chart and end the visit. This is one of many ways that WhiteGlove will broaden its scope of care and offer new services to its members.

2,500,000 shares

 

Common stock outstanding after this offering

13,067,986 shares

 

Over-allotment option (shares to be purchased from selling stockholders)

375,000 shares

 

Use of proceeds

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $24.5 million, assuming an initial public offering price of $11.00 per share (the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus). We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for the repayment of approximately $2.5 million in debt, expansion of our business to new metropolitan markets, and general corporate purposes. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders in the event the over-allotment option is exercised. See “Use of Proceeds.”

 

OpenIPO Process

This offering will be made through the OpenIPO process, in which the allocation of shares and the public offering price are primarily based on an auction in which prospective purchasers are required to bid for the shares. The OpenIPO process allows all qualified investors, whether individuals or institutions, to bid for shares. The underwriters are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of our common stock but have agreed to use their best efforts to procure potential purchasers for the shares of

common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus. All successful bidders in the auction will pay the same price per share.

 

   

Bidders may submit bids through the underwriters or participating dealers.

 

   

Potential investors may bid any price for the shares, including a price above or below the projected price range on the cover of this prospectus.

 

   

Once the auction closes, assuming sufficient demand, the underwriters will determine the highest price that will sell all of the shares offered. This is the clearing price and is the maximum price at which the shares will be sold. The clearing price, and therefore the actual offering price, could be higher or lower than the projected price range on the cover of this prospectus.

 

   

We may choose to sell shares at the auction-set clearing price or we may choose to sell the shares at a lower offering price, taking into account additional factors.

 

   

Bidders that submit valid bids at or above the offering price will receive, at a minimum, a pro-rated amount of shares for which they bid.

 

   

In the event that the offering were to price below, or more than 20% above, the price range set forth on the prospectus cover page, we will notify bidders of the new auction terms, reconfirm all bids and file a post-effective amendment containing the new auction terms.

 

  The OpenIPO process is described in full under “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 120.

 

Dividend policy

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. See “Dividend Policy.”

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below and all information contained in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects would likely suffer, possibly materially. In addition, the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks or uncertainties, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

We are an early-stage health care company with an unproven business model and our business may not become profitable.

We are an early-stage health care company with a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business. In addition, since we have only been offering our products and services to the public since 2007, we have very limited historical financial data. As a result of these factors, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven, and we have only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. Because of our limited operating history and because the health care industry is rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business. Early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as ours frequently encounter risks, uncertainties and difficulties, including those described in this section. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks. Failure to adequately address such risks could cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects to suffer.

Our business model differs from those of many of our competitors, and customers may be reluctant to adopt our model. Incumbent brokers of benefit services and plans are often reluctant to recommend our services to employers, and in some cases actively attempt to prevent employer adoption of our services. This reluctance may hinder our ability to gain new customers and to expand our business.

Possible changes in customer mix, the loss of commercial customers, or the failure to substantially increase and maintain the number of our members may have a material adverse effect on our profitability, financial results and gross margins.

Our customers are made up of individuals and families, employers, and health insurance providers. Our success is heavily dependent on our existing contractual relationships with our commercial customers. Although the membership fees paid by employers and health insurance providers is lower on a per capita basis than those charged to individuals and families, these commercial customers represent a large percentage of our member population, and consequently our aggregate fees for these types of payers are higher than for individuals or families. During the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 53.6% and 21.8% of our net revenue was derived from health insurance companies (Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare) and employer customers, respectively. Changes in customer mix among individuals, employers, and health insurance providers may significantly affect our profitability. In particular, cancellation of a single health insurance provider contract will result in the loss of a large member population and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our existing health insurance company or employer relationships.

Our growth and profitability depends significantly on our ability to provide good patient care, and to increase awareness and acceptance of our unique delivery model in the markets we serve. We cannot assure you that awareness or acceptance of our delivery model will increase. Consequently, we

cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and maintain new relationships in existing or new markets. If we are not able to substantially increase the rate at which commercial customers purchase our memberships, our financial results and gross margins will be adversely affected. Our failure to develop new customers could adversely affect our ability to expand our operations and operate profitability. Increasing the number of memberships may require us to substantially increase public awareness of our services. Creating awareness of our services may require more significant expenditures for marketing and advertising than we currently anticipate, which could adversely affect our financial results.

The success of our business depends upon the continued growth and acceptance of our delivery model as a suitable alternative or supplement to traditional health care delivery systems.

Growth in sales of our membership services will depend on the acceptance of our business model and our delivery methods as a suitable alternative or supplement to traditional health care delivery systems. Our business model differs from those of many of our competitors, and customers may be reluctant to adopt our model. This reluctance has hindered and may continue to hinder our ability to gain new customers and to expand our business. Further, our business model and our delivery methods could lose their viability as an alternative to traditional delivery systems due to changes in health care laws and regulations, an inadequate number of customers participating in our service offerings, customer dissatisfaction with our service, and new alternative health care solutions or regulatory action. If alternative delivery systems do not gain widespread market acceptance, the demand for our membership program could be significantly reduced, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our members or potential members may still require health insurance or other coverage to obtain medical care outside the scope of our services.

The scope of care for our Mobile Primary Care service encompasses routine medical conditions, and from time to time our members may require medical care that is outside our scope of care. For example, a member who requires diagnostic testing such as an MRI or a CAT scan, requires surgery, sustains a serious injury or requires extensive medical attention from a practicing physician or specialist would be required to pay for such services out of pocket unless that member has health insurance or other medical insurance coverage. Such limitations on our scope of care and the requirement of additional payments for services outside of our scope of care could affect a member’s decision to enroll in our services, a member’s decision to remain a member, an employer’s decision to enroll employees or an employer’s decision to maintain the enrollment of its employees, resulting in reduced demand for our membership programs or reduced retention of members in our programs, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The success of our business depends upon benefits brokers and consultants accepting our business model and delivery system and its merits and promoting it to commercial customers.

Growth in sales of our membership services will depend on the acceptance of our business model and our delivery methods as a suitable alternative or supplement to traditional health care delivery systems by commercial customers. Commercial customers often rely on the input and advice of benefits brokers and consultants. If our alternative delivery system and business model does not gain widespread acceptance by benefits brokers and consultants, the demand for our membership services could be significantly reduced, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have incurred significant losses since our inception and anticipate that we may continue to incur significant losses.

As of December 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11.5 million. The accumulated deficit has resulted principally from costs incurred from salaries, benefits, and general operating expenses. We have incurred significant losses in each year since our inception in 2007. Net losses were approximately $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, and approximately $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses as we continue to invest capital in the expansion and development of our business. We also expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase due to additional operational and regulatory burdens associated with operating as a public company. We are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if at all. Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability would have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital and could result in a decline in our stock price or cause us to cease operations.

Increases in pharmaceutical prices and other operating costs could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our financial performance is affected by the level of our operating expenses, such as pharmaceuticals and supplies, fuel and other vehicle expenses, wages and salaries, employee benefits, and insurance premiums, all of which may be subject to inflationary pressures. Many factors affect the prices that we pay for pharmaceuticals and other items that we use to serve our members, including regulatory pressures and costs to our suppliers. Factors that may affect the salaries and benefits that we pay to our employees include market trends in compensation, competition for personnel, and changes in employee benefits laws. We cannot predict the extent to which we may experience future increases in our operating costs. If we experience increases in our operating costs because of one or more of these factors, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We may need additional funding to support and grow our business and may not be able to raise capital when needed, which would harm our operations.

We will require substantial future capital in order to continue to deliver our services at current levels and to grow the geographic coverage, membership base, and variety of membership services of our business. At March 31, 2011, we had a cash balance of $11.6 million. We believe that our current short-term liquidity position, excluding any proceeds from current or future offerings, will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and debt repayment obligations. Based upon estimated net proceeds of $24.5 million from this offering, we expect our long-term liquidity position to adequately meet our operating needs, including expanding our business into new metropolitan markets, the repayment of approximately $2.5 million in debt and other general corporate purposes. In the event that this source of funding is not available, we would adjust our current plans of expansion into new metropolitan markets and delay the repayment of our $2.5 million debt. However, our operating plans may change, and we may need additional funds to meet our operational needs and capital requirements for maintaining and growing our business.

Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on a timely basis, we may be unable to continue to fund our operations, meet our customers’ needs or provide services in a timely manner.

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

   

ongoing purchases of memberships by employer customers;

 

19


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
   

maintaining our health insurance company agreements;

 

   

the cost to attract and retain qualified clinical service personnel;

 

   

the terms and timing of any future agreements with health insurance companies;

 

   

the terms and timing of any future agreements with employer customers;

 

   

the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, and other corporate infrastructure;

 

   

our ability to hire NPs in our operating areas at salaries that are compatible with our business model and in sufficient numbers to meet the services needs of our members; and

 

   

the cost of establishing new service areas.

If we do not effectively manage our growth, we may be unable to successfully develop, market, and sell our services.

Our future revenue and operating results will depend on our ability to manage the anticipated growth of our business. In order to achieve our business objectives, we must continue to grow. However, continued growth presents numerous challenges, including:

 

   

implementing appropriate operational and financial systems and controls;

 

   

expanding our infrastructure to serve new and larger geographic areas;

 

   

developing our sales and marketing infrastructure and capabilities;

 

   

improving our information systems;

 

   

identifying, attracting, and retaining qualified personnel in our areas of activity; and

 

   

hiring, training, managing, and supervising our personnel.

We cannot be certain that our systems, controls, infrastructure, and personnel will be adequate to support our future operations. Any failure to effectively manage our growth could impede our ability to successfully develop, market, and sell our products, and our business will be harmed.

The health care industry is rapidly evolving, and if we are not successful in promoting the benefits of our membership services and the WhiteGlove HealthSM brand, our growth may be limited.

Based on our experience with our customers, we believe that many potential customers are not familiar with our delivery model and the benefits provided by our membership services. In addition, there may be a limited-time opportunity to achieve and maintain a significant share of the market for our membership services due in part to the rapidly evolving nature of the health care industry and the substantial resources available to our existing and potential competitors. If people do not recognize or acknowledge these benefits, the market for our membership services may develop more slowly than we expect, which could adversely affect our operating results.

We believe that developing and maintaining customer awareness of our WhiteGlove HealthSM brand is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our membership services. Furthermore, we believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market develops. Successful promotion of our WhiteGlove HealthSM brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and on our ability to develop reliable and useful membership services at competitive prices. If we fail to successfully promote our WhiteGlove HealthSM brand, or if our expenses to promote and maintain our WhiteGlove HealthSM brand are greater than anticipated, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

We are subject to fluctuations in demand for our membership services due to a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, competition, health conditions in the markets we serve, the perceived costs of alternatives to our services, and other factors.

A significant decrease in demand for our membership services would adversely affect our revenues and a significant increase in demand for our services could adversely affect our gross margin. Fluctuations in demand for our membership services could be caused by a variety of factors, including general economic conditions or a decrease in the perceived cost of alternatives to our services, such as emergency room care and urgent care clinics.

In addition, our business model assumes a maximum average annual utilization rate per member per membership service, depending on each member’s annual membership fees, to remain profitable. Members enrolled in our MPC service are assumed to use our service less than the national average of 2.2 primary care physician visits per year (data on the national average of primary care physician visits from William T. Cecil, MBA, et. al., Relationship of the Use and Costs of Physician Office Visit and Prescription Drugs to Travel Distance and Increase in Member Cost Share, Journal of Managed Care Pharmacy, October 2006 at 665). An increase in demand for use of our membership services in the short term above these maximum average annual utilization rates could result in significant expense to us and may surpass our ability to meet our members’ demands in the short term. An increase in demand for use of our membership services above our assumed utilization rate in the long term could harm our profitability. Demand for utilization of our membership services is subject to fluctuation due to numerous factors, including seasonal allergy and flu, other health conditions in our service areas, and a perceived increase in cost of alternative services available to our members. For example, in 2009, we experienced a spike in our visit requests in connection with the H1N1 Influenza pandemic. If future epidemics or pandemics affect our service areas, we may again experience an unexpected increase in visits per member, which could adversely affect our gross margin, results of operations, and financial position. In addition, any inability to completely satisfy demand for our membership services could harm our customer satisfaction and reputation, and, consequently, our business.

If an employer’s payment of our membership fee on behalf of an employee otherwise eligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account, or HSA, disqualifies such account from tax deductible treatment, employers may be reluctant to adopt our model.

Pursuant to Section 223 of the Internal Revenue Code, an employee covered by a “high deductible health plan” may make contributions to a Health Savings Account. Such employee may not be covered by another health plan which is not a high deductible health plan and covers any benefits covered by the high deductible health plan. If our services were deemed to be another health plan, the employers payment of our membership fee on behalf of an employee would disqualify the employee from eligibility for an HSA. If this were the case, employers may be reluctant to adopt our model, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition among health care companies is intense, and large insurance companies and others could replicate our new health care model.

The health care services industry is highly competitive. We compete with a variety of other companies in providing health care services, some of which may have greater financial and other resources and may be more established in their respective communities. Competing companies may offer newer or different services from those offered by us and may thereby attract customers who are presently receiving our health care services. As our business model gains more market acceptance, we cannot be sure that we will not be copied by other large insurance companies in the health care industry, which would make it difficult for us to compete.

In many areas in which our membership services are available, we compete with a large number of organizations, including:

 

   

primary care physicians;

 

   

urgent care centers;

 

21


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
   

hospitals;

 

   

community-based health providers;

 

   

retail clinics and facilities;

 

   

national and regional companies;

 

   

concierge-style health care services;

 

   

hospital-based health care programs; and

 

   

telemedicine services.

Some of our current and potential competitors have or may obtain significantly greater financial and marketing resources than us. Accordingly, other companies, including hospitals and other health care organizations that are not currently providing competitive health care services, may expand their services to include competitive health care or similar services. We may encounter increased competition in the future that could negatively impact customer referrals to us, limit our ability to maintain or increase our market position and adversely affect our profitability.

Further consolidation of managed care organizations and other third party payers may adversely affect our profits.

Managed care organizations and other third-party payers have continued to consolidate in order to enhance their ability to influence the delivery of health care services. Consequently, the health care needs of a large percentage of the United States population are increasingly served by a smaller number of managed care organizations. These organizations generally enter into service agreements with a limited number of providers for needed services. To the extent that such organizations terminate us as a preferred provider and/or engage our competitors as preferred or exclusive providers, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, private payers, including managed care payers, could seek to negotiate additional discounted fee structures. The assumption by health care providers of all or a portion of the financial risk through prepaid capitation arrangements, could potentially reduce our profitability.

The potential establishment of Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, may create a system for delivering health care that is competitive with our business model.

Established through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, an ACO is a network of doctors and hospitals that shares responsibility for providing care to patients. An ACO must agree to manage all of the health care needs of a minimum of 5,000 Medicare beneficiaries for at least three years. ACOs may be able to deliver health care that is competitive with the health care services we deliver. Such ACOs may have greater financial and other resources and may be more established in their respective communities, and may thereby attract customers who are currently receiving our health care services or potential customers. If ACOs are able to attract customers that are currently receiving our services, or are able to attract potential customers, our business could suffer.

A prolonged disruption of the capital and credit markets may adversely affect our future access to capital and our cost of capital.

In order to continue to grow our business, we may access capital and credit markets to meet our capital needs sometime in the future. The continued volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets in the United States have adversely affected the access to capital and increased the cost of capital. To date, we have used private capital and credit for liquidity and to execute our business strategies, which include increasing our revenue base through internal growth. We believe that we have adequate capital and liquidity to conduct any foreseeable initiatives that may develop over the near term; however, should economic and market conditions deteriorate, our future cost of debt or equity capital and future access to capital markets may be adversely affected.

If we are subject to substantial malpractice or other similar claims, such claims could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

The services we offer have an inherent risk of professional liability and substantial damage awards. We, and the NPs and other health care professionals who provide services on our behalf, may be the subject of medical malpractice claims. These NPs and other health care professionals could be considered our agents and, as a result, we could be held liable for their medical negligence. We cannot predict the effect that any claims of this nature, regardless of their ultimate outcome, could have on our business or reputation or on our ability to attract and retain members and employees. We maintain malpractice liability insurance that provides primary coverage on a claims-made basis of $1 million per incident and $3 million in annual aggregate amounts. We are responsible for deductibles and amounts in excess of the limits of our coverage. Claims that could be made in the future in excess of the limits of such insurance, if successful, could materially adversely affect our financial condition. In addition, our insurance coverage may not continue to be available to us at commercially reasonable rates, in adequate amounts or on satisfactory terms.

Improper disclosure of personal information could result in liability and harm our reputation.

Our business involves the use, storage, and transmission of information about our employees, commercial customers, and members. In addition, members and customers have a high expectation that we will adequately protect their personal information. We have established policies and procedures to help protect the security and privacy of this information. It is possible that our security controls over personal and other data and other practices we and our third party service providers follow may not prevent the improper access to or disclosure of personally identifiable or otherwise confidential information. Such disclosure could harm our reputation and subject us to liability under our contracts and laws that protect personal data and confidential information, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue. Further, information security and privacy, particularly with respect to medical information, is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions in which we provide services. Our failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response to changing regulatory requirements in this area could result in legal liability and impairment to our reputation in the marketplace. In particular, our failure to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, to which we are subject, would subject us to fines and penalties and a risk of reputational damage.

Online commerce security risks, including security breaches, identity theft, service disrupting attacks, and viruses, could harm our reputation and the conduct of our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Currently, a significant number of our customers provide credit card and other financial information to us and authorize us to bill their credit card accounts directly for all transaction fees charged by us. In addition, members have access to an online portal that provides for the transmission of other personal information. We rely on encryption and authentication technology to provide the security and authentication to effect secure transmission of confidential information, including customer credit card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by us to protect transaction data. In addition, any party who is able to illicitly obtain a member’s password could access the member’s transaction data. An increasing number of websites have reported breaches of their security. Any compromise of our security could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of litigation and possible liability. Although we have developed and use systems and processes that are designed to protect customer information and prevent fraudulent credit card transactions and other security breaches, our security measures may not prevent security breaches or identity theft that could harm our reputation and business.

Additionally, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, and similar disruptions. We currently take certain measures to protect against these issues, but we may need to expend significant resources to protect against security breaches or to address problems caused by breaches. Disruptions in our services and damage caused by viruses and other attacks could cause liability as well as a loss of customer confidence in our privacy systems, which could lead to reduced usage of our services and materially adversely affect our business and financial results.

Our net revenue is concentrated in one state, and we currently operate in four states, which makes us sensitive to regulatory and economic changes in those states.

Our Texas operations accounted for 100% of our net revenues during 2008 and 2009 and approximately 99.6% of our net revenue during 2010. We currently operate in four states, making our net revenue particularly sensitive to the four states in which we provide services—Arizona, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Texas. Accordingly, any significant changes in the current demographic, economic, competitive, or regulatory conditions in these states could have an adverse effect on our business and membership services, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our operations are vulnerable to interruption, cost overruns or loss due to technology issues, natural disasters, power loss, and other events beyond our control, which would adversely affect our business.

Our operations are highly reliant on technology. During 2011, we expect to continue to rely on and develop our own proprietary software system, WhiteGlove Online System, for use in our business. This system involves the use of handheld devices by our clinical personnel who deliver our membership services to our members. The continued rollout and future development of this system involves substantial costs relating to salaries and benefits, consulting, travel, and training costs. Implementation and future development costs in excess of expectations or the failure of new systems and other technology initiatives to operate in accordance with expectations could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and operations.

In addition, our business is highly dependent on our telecommunications and computer systems. Our business is also materially dependent on services provided by various local and long distance telephone companies and internet service providers. Any damage to or interruption of our equipment, systems, internet access or telephone services, whether due to terrorist acts, natural disasters, power losses, computer viruses, or similar events, could significantly disrupt our operations and delay or prevent delivery of our membership services. The disruption would be particularly significant if it became necessary to repair or rebuild our headquarters, which could be lengthy and result in significant expenses, thus adversely affecting our business and financial results. Furthermore, the insurance coverage we maintain may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case or continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates and terms.

We operate in areas that have experienced and may experience severe weather and natural disasters, such as floods, tornadoes, and snowstorms. In addition, we may expand into areas that have experienced and may experience other types of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and wildfires. Any future occurrence of severe weather or a natural disaster, such as a flood or tornado, in our service area could significantly disrupt our operations, delay or prevent delivery of our services, and damage our service vehicles in the field, which could result in significant expenses and harm our business and results of operations.

We have risks related to obligations under our insurance programs.

We are obligated to our employees for certain costs under various insurance programs, including employee health and welfare, workers’ compensation, automobile, and professional liability.

 

24


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

We may be subject to workers’ compensation claims and lawsuits alleging negligence or other similar legal claims. We maintain various insurance programs to cover these risks with insurance policies subject to substantial deductibles and retention amounts. We also may be subject to exposure relating to employment law and other related matters for which we do not maintain insurance coverage. We believe that our present insurance coverage and reserves are sufficient to cover currently estimated exposures; however, should we experience a significant increase in losses resulting from workers’ compensation, professional liability or employee health and welfare claims, the resulting increase in provisions and/or required reserves could negatively affect our profitability. Although we carry extensive insurance coverage, there may be unknown liabilities for which we are not insured.

The cost of health care is funded by private health insurance programs. If this funding is reduced or becomes limited or unavailable to our members, our business may be adversely impacted.

Private insurance companies, some of whom are and may become our customers, are increasingly challenging prices charged for health care services. We cannot assure you that our membership services will be considered cost-effective by private insurance companies or that their policies will not have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell our services to these payers on a profitable basis, if at all. If private insurance companies determine that our membership services are not cost-effective, our ability to market our membership services to them will be severely curtailed and may adversely affect our profitability.

We are dependent on our senior management team and key advisors, and the loss of any of them could harm our business.

We are highly dependent on members of our senior management, in particular Robert A. Fabbio, our co-Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer. We do not maintain, and do not currently intend to obtain, key employee life insurance on any of our personnel other than for Mr. Fabbio. Although we have obtained key man insurance covering Mr. Fabbio in the amount of $750,000, and intend to increase such coverage to $5,000,000 prior to the completion of this offering, this would not fully compensate us for the loss of Mr. Fabbio’s services in the event of his death or disability. The loss of members of our senior management team and key advisors, or our inability to attract or retain other qualified personnel or advisors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We need to hire and retain additional qualified personnel to grow and manage our business. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business and growth could be seriously harmed.

Our performance depends on the talents and efforts of our employees. Our future success will depend on our ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled personnel in all areas of our organization. We compete with other health care providers for health care personnel, both clinical associates and management personnel. As the demand for health care services continues to exceed the supply of available and qualified staff, we have been forced to offer more attractive wage and benefit packages to these professionals. Furthermore, the competitive arena for this labor market has created turnover as many seek to take advantage of the supply of available positions, each offering new and more attractive wage and benefit packages. If we are unable to manage such turnover, our growth may be hindered, and our business and financial condition may be adversely effected.

We plan to continue to grow our business and will need to hire additional personnel with the requisite specialized knowledge and skills to support this growth. Because of the competitive market for these individuals, we may experience difficulties locating and hiring suitable personnel in the future. As a result of our inability to hire qualified personnel, our growth may be hindered.

Current employees that hold shares of our common stock or options to purchase our common stock may be more likely to leave us following our initial public offering as a result of the establishment of a public market for our common stock. This could lead to increased employee turnover. In addition to the wage pressures inherent in this environment, the cost of training new employees amid the turnover rates may cause added pressure on our operating margins. Further, because our staff is limited, and because we cannot precisely predict the demand for our membership services on a day to day basis, unusually high demand for our membership services at a particular day and time may impede our ability to provide timely medical care to our members. If we are unable to serve our members on a timely basis, our reputation and business could be harmed.

We need to enter into contractual arrangements with physicians to provide medical oversight and supervision.

We rely on physicians to supervise and delegate prescriptive authority to NPs. If we are unable to enter into contractual arrangements with a sufficient number of physicians to provide medical oversight and supervision to NPs, it may adversely affect or limit our future operations.

Risks Related to Regulation

Federal or state health care reform laws could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This culmination of a year-long legislative process will likely have a significant impact on the health care delivery system. Much of that impact, specifically as related to the delivery of health care services, is unknown.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, among other things, sets out a plan for a type of universal health care coverage. A number of states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania, are also contemplating significant reform of their health insurance markets. Other states have mounted legal challenges to the implementation of certain aspects of the health care reform bill in their respective states. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, along with possible changes at the state level, will affect both public programs and privately-financed health insurance arrangements. Both the new federal law and the state proposals will increase the number of insured persons by expanding the eligibility levels for public programs and compelling individuals and employers to purchase health coverage. At the same time, these laws seek to reform the underwriting and marketing practices of health plans. These laws could further increase pricing pressure on existing commercial payers. As a result, commercial payers may likely seek to lower their fees for the membership services we provide. The state proposals are still being debated in various legislatures and the legal challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are in their earliest stages.

Given the recent enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and taking into account proposed state reforms and possible legal challenges, we cannot predict how our business will be affected by the full implementation of these and future actions. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, in connection with state initiatives, may increase our costs, decrease our revenues, expose us to expanded liability or require us to revise the ways in which we conduct our business, any of which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations and violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions.

Our business is subject to extensive federal, state, and, in some cases, local regulation, including the prohibition of business corporations from providing medical care in certain states, state laws that prohibit referral fees and fee splitting, and regulations applicable to insurance companies and organizations that provide health care services. As the health care industry continues to evolve, we anticipate increased regulation. Compliance with these regulatory requirements, as interpreted and

 

26


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

amended from time to time, can increase operating costs or reduce revenue and thereby adversely affect the financial viability of our business. Because these laws are amended from time to time and are subject to interpretation, we cannot predict when and to what extent liability may arise. Non-compliance with these laws and regulations could cause us to become the subject of a variety of enforcement or private actions, subject us or our management personnel to fines or various forms of civil or criminal prosecution, and result in negative publicity potentially damaging our reputation, and our relationships with members and consumers in general.

In addition, our business is dependent on the oversight of physicians in certain states in which we operate. Any alleged violation by one or more of our oversight physicians of applicable regulations in the course of their service to us would have a significant impact on our reputation and ability to provide our membership services.

State medical, insurance, and pharmacy regulatory authorities may attempt to regulate our business.

Our business model differs from those of many of our competitors, and thus may be viewed as disruptive to the health care industry. State regulatory boards and organizations may determine that one or more of our services are or should be subject to regulations governing health insurance companies or pharmaceutical providers. If this happens, we would be required to comply with regulations that would extensively cover operations, including scope of benefits, rate formulas, delivery commissions, utilization review procedures, quality assurance, enrollment requirements, claim payments, marketing, and advertising. Should these regulatory bodies decide that these regulations apply to our business model, compliance with these regulations would be costly and could have a material adverse effect on our business and limit our operations.

If we become subject to state insurance regulation, the cost of compliance would likely have a material effect on our financial position.

We market and sell our membership services without the need for an insurance license by any federal, state or local regulatory licensing agency or commission. By contrast, companies that provide insurance benefits and operate health maintenance organizations, or HMOs, and preferred provider organizations, or PPOs, are regulated by state licensing agencies and commissions. These regulations extensively cover operations, including scope of benefits, rate formulas, delivery systems, utilization review procedures, quality assurance, enrollment requirements, claim payments, marketing, and advertising. Several states have enacted laws and regulations governing discounted membership programs and those states and additional states may, in the future, determine that our membership programs are subject to governmental regulation, which may adversely affect or limit our future operations. Compliance with these statutes and regulations may be costly and may limit our operations. The cost of complying with these laws and regulations would likely have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position.

Government regulation of health insurance, health care coverage and health membership plans is a changing area of law and varies from state to state. The sale of insurance products and the licensing of insurance brokers and agents are subject to regulation and supervision, predominantly by state authorities. While the scope of regulation and form of supervision may vary from state to state, insurance laws relating to the sale of insurance products and licensing of insurance brokers and agents are often complex and generally grant broad discretion to supervisory authorities in adopting regulations. States have broad powers over the granting, renewing, and revoking of licenses and approvals, marketing activities, and the receipt of commissions. Although we are not an insurance company, various state or federal regulatory authorities that regulate insurance companies may attempt to assert regulatory authority over us. If we are unsuccessful in contesting such assertion, we would be subject to insurance laws and regulations and the cost of complying with these additional

laws and regulations would likely have a material effect on our financial position. We may also be limited in how we market and distribute our membership programs as a result of these additional laws and regulations.

If we become subject to state pharmacy regulation, the cost of compliance would likely have a material effect on our financial position.

In some of the states in which we operate, we provide drugs for use or consumption by our members in quantities necessary to meet the members’ immediate needs without the need for a pharmacy license from any federal, state or local regulatory licensing agency or commission. WhiteGlove has relationships with licensed pharmacists to repackage bulk generic prescription medications into appropriate doses that may be dispensed at the time of our visit based on the law in each state. While this varies from state to state, in general the doses are for one day, three days, or unlimited. In the event that a member needs additional prescription medications beyond those dispensed at the time of our visit, our system sends a prescription to Walmart for generic prescription medications and they are delivered to the member. States may, in the future, determine that such distribution of drugs to a member is subject to governmental regulation, which may adversely affect or limit our future operations. Compliance with these statutes and regulations may limit our operations. The cost of complying with these laws and regulations would likely have a material effect on our business model and financial position.

Changes in state regulations of physician supervision of nurse practitioners and delegations of prescriptive authority maybe harm our business.

Our business relies on NPs to address our members’ medical care needs. We rely on physicians to supervise and delegate prescriptive authority to NPs. Some of the states in which we operate also have laws which govern physician supervision of NPs. Because these laws are amended from time to time and are subject to interpretation, we cannot predict when and to what extent a change in the law, including state medical licensing regulations, related to physicians and/or NPs may affect our business model. Unanticipated changes to laws which restrict where and how a physician can delegate prescriptive authority, physician supervision of NPs, or another area could adversely affect our business.

We may be subject to privacy and data protection laws governing the transmission, security, and privacy of health information which may impose restrictions on technologies and subject us to penalties if we are unable to fully comply with such laws.

Numerous federal, state and international laws and regulations govern the collection, use, disclosure, storage and transmission of patient-identifiable health information. For example:

 

   

HIPAA and its implementing regulations were enacted to ensure that employees can retain and at times transfer their health insurance when they change jobs and to simplify health care administrative processes. The enactment of HIPAA also expanded protection of the privacy and security of personal medical data and required the adoption of standards for the exchange of electronic health information. Among the standards that the Secretary of Health and Human Services has adopted pursuant to HIPAA are standards for electronic transactions and code sets, unique identifiers for providers, employers, health plans and individuals, security and electronic signatures, privacy, and enforcement. Failure to comply with HIPAA could result in fines and penalties that could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

   

The federal Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Stimulus Bill, effective February 22, 2010, sets forth health information

 

28

security breach notification requirements and increased penalties for violation of HIPAA. A week after the effective date, covered entities and business associates were required to submit reports to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, of any breaches that occurred during the last quarter of 2009. The HITECH Act requires patient notification for all breaches, media notification of breaches of over 500 patients, and at least annual reporting of all breaches to the Secretary of HHS. The HITECH Act also replaced the prior penalty system of one tier of penalties of $100 per violation and an annual maximum of $25,000 with a 4-tier system of sanctions for breaches. Penalties now range from the original $100 per violation and an annual maximum of $25,000 for the first tier to a fourth-tier minimum of $50,000 per violation and an annual maximum of $1.5 million for the identical violation. On July 14, 2010, the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or OCR, published proposed regulations in the Federal Register to implement the HITECH Act revisions. Failure to comply with HITECH could result in fines and penalties that could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

   

Other federal and state laws restricting the use and protecting the privacy and security of patient information may apply, many of which are not preempted by HIPAA.

 

   

Federal and state consumer protection laws are being applied increasingly by the United States Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and states’ attorneys general to regulate the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal or patient information, through websites or otherwise, and to regulate the presentation of website content.

We are required to comply with federal and state laws governing the transmission, security, and privacy of patient identifiable health information that we may obtain or have access to in connection with the provision of our services. Due to the recent enactment of HITECH, we are not able to predict the extent of the impact on our business. Our failure to comply may result in criminal and civil liability because the potential for enforcement action against business associates is now greater. Enforcement actions can be costly and interrupt regular operations which may adversely affect our business.

In addition, numerous other federal and state laws protect the confidentiality of patient information as well as employee personal information, including state medical privacy laws, state social security number protection laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws. These various laws in many cases are not preempted by the HIPAA rules and may be subject to varying interpretations by the courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us and our customers and potentially exposing us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability.

If state regulatory authorities or other parties successfully assert that we are engaged in the corporate practice of medicine, we could be subject to penalties and could be required to restructure or terminate the applicable contractual arrangements.

Some states in which we do business, namely Massachusetts and Texas, have corporate practice of medicine laws which prohibit us from employing physicians and practicing medicine for a profit. These laws and their interpretations vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion. We attempt to structure our relationships with the physicians in a manner that we believe keeps us from engaging in the corporate practice of medicine. Nevertheless, state regulatory authorities or other parties could assert that our relationships with physicians violate these laws.

If such a claim were successfully asserted, we could be subject to civil, and perhaps criminal, penalties, and could be required to restructure or terminate the applicable contractual arrangements. Our inability to successfully restructure our relationships to comply with these statutes could jeopardize our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Our failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could have an adverse effect on our business.

Intellectual property is important to our success. We rely upon confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our business, member information, proprietary technology, and brand. Our general policy is to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and consultants, and nondisclosure agreements with all other parties to whom we disclose confidential information. We have a registration pending before the United States Patent and Trademark Office for our “WhiteGlove Health” brand. We may apply for legal protection for certain of our other intellectual property in the future. These trademarks and any additional legal protection we may obtain in the future may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. As a result, our means of protecting our proprietary technology and brands may be inadequate. Furthermore, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. Any such infringement or misappropriation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that our employees or we have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.

Many of our employees were previously employed at other health care companies, including competitors or potential competitors. We could in the future be subject to claims that these employees, or we, have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending against such claims, a court could order us to pay substantial damages and prohibit us from using information that is essential to our products and processes, if such information is found to incorporate or be derived from the trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, such litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to our employees and management.

Our current intellectual property rights may not adequately protect our products.

Our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and proprietary processes. We rely on know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. These legal means, however, afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights. We rely primarily on trade secrets, know-how, and other unpatented technology and proprietary processes, which are difficult to protect. Although we seek such protection in part by entering into confidentiality agreements with our vendors, employees, consultants, and others who may have access to proprietary information, we cannot be certain that these agreements will not be breached, adequate remedies for any breach would be available or our trade secrets, know-how, and other unpatented proprietary processes will not otherwise become known to or be independently developed by our competitors. If we are unsuccessful in protecting our intellectual property rights, sales of our memberships may suffer and our ability to generate revenue could be severely impacted.

Legal proceedings to assert our intellectual property rights could require us to spend money and could impair our operations.

In the event that a competitor infringes upon our intellectual property rights, enforcing these rights may be costly, difficult, and time consuming. Even if successful, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our intellectual property rights against challenge could be expensive and time-consuming and could divert our management’s attention from our primary business. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend

our patents or other intellectual property rights against a challenge. If we are unsuccessful in enforcing and protecting our intellectual property rights and protecting our products, it could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Auction Process

Some bids made at or above the initial public offering price may not receive an allocation of shares.

The underwriters may require that bidders confirm their bids before the auction for this offering closes. If a bidder is requested to confirm a bid and fails to do so within a required time frame, that bid may be rejected and may not receive an allocation of shares even if the bid is at or above the initial public offering price. Further, if the auction process leads to a pro rata reduction in allocated shares and a rounding down of share allocations pursuant to the rules of the auction, a bidder may not receive any shares in this offering despite having bid at or above the initial public offering price. In addition, we, in consultation with the underwriters, may determine, in our sole discretion, that some bids that are at or above the initial public offering price are manipulative of or disruptive to the bidding process, not creditworthy, or otherwise not in our best interest, in which case such bids may be rejected or reduced. For example, in previous transactions for other issuers in which the auction process was used, WR Hambrecht + Co has rejected or reduced bids when WR Hambrecht + Co, in its sole discretion, deemed the bids not creditworthy or had reason to question the bidder’s intent or means to fund its bid. In the absence of other information, the underwriters or a participating dealer may assess a bidder’s creditworthiness based solely on the bidder’s history with the underwriters or a participating dealer. WR Hambrecht + Co has also rejected or reduced bids that it deemed, in its sole discretion, to be potentially manipulative or disruptive or because the bidder had a history of alleged securities law violations. Other conditions for valid bids, including eligibility and account funding requirements of participating dealers, may vary. As a result of these varying requirements, a bidder may have its bid rejected by an underwriter or a participating dealer while another bidder’s identical bid is accepted.

Potential investors may receive a full allocation of the shares they bid for if their bids are successful and should not bid for more shares than they are prepared to purchase.

If the initial public offering price is at or near the clearing price for the shares offered in this offering, the number of shares represented by successful bids will equal or nearly equal the number of shares offered by this prospectus. Successful bidders may therefore be allocated all or nearly all of the shares that they bid for in the auction. Therefore, we caution investors against submitting a bid that does not accurately represent the number of shares of our common stock that they are willing and prepared to purchase.

Our stock price could decline rapidly and significantly following our initial public offering.

Our initial public offering price will be determined by an auction process conducted by us and the underwriters. We believe this auction process will provide information about the market demand for our common stock at the time of this offering. However, this information may have no relation to market demand for our common stock once trading begins. We expect that the bidding process will reveal a clearing price for shares of our common stock offered in the auction. The auction clearing price is the highest price at which all of the shares offered, including shares subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, may be sold to potential investors. Although we and the underwriters may elect to set the initial public offering price below the auction clearing price, we may also set an initial public offering price that is equal to the clearing price. If there is little or no demand for our shares at or above the initial public offering price once trading begins, the price of our shares would likely decline following this offering. In addition, the auction process may lead to more stock price volatility or a stock price decline after the initial sales of our stock in this offering, which could lead to class action or securities litigation

 

31

that would be expensive, time-consuming, and distracting to our management team. If your objective is to make a short-term profit by selling the shares you purchase in the offering shortly after trading begins, you should not submit a bid in the auction.

The auction process for our public offering may result in a phenomenon known as the “winner’s curse,” and, as a result, investors may experience significant losses.

The auction process for our initial public offering may result in a phenomenon known as the “winner’s curse.” At the conclusion of the auction, bidders that receive allocations of shares in this offering (successful bidders) may infer that there is little incremental demand for our shares above or equal to the initial public offering price. As a result, successful bidders may conclude that they paid too much for our shares and could seek to immediately sell their shares to limit their losses should our stock price decline. In this situation, other investors that did not submit successful bids may wait for this selling to be completed, resulting in reduced demand for our common stock in the public market and a significant decline in our stock price. Therefore, we caution investors that submitting successful bids and receiving allocations may be followed by a significant decline in the value of their investment in our common stock shortly after our offering.

The auction process for our initial public offering may result in a situation in which less price sensitive investors play a larger role in the determination of our offering price and constitute a larger portion of the investors in our offering, and, therefore, the offering price may not be sustainable once trading of our common stock begins.

In a typical initial public offering, a majority of the shares sold to the public are purchased by professional investors that have significant experience in determining valuations for companies in connection with initial public offerings. These professional investors typically have access to, or conduct their own independent research and analysis regarding investments in initial public offerings. Other investors typically have less access to this level of research and analysis, and as a result, may be less sensitive to price when participating in our auction process. Because of our auction process, these less price sensitive investors may have a greater influence in setting our initial public offering price and may have a higher level of participation in our offering than is normal for initial public offerings. This, in turn, could cause our auction process to result in an initial public offering price that is higher than the price professional investors are willing to pay for our shares. As a result, our stock price may decrease once trading of our common stock begins. Also, because professional investors may have a substantial degree of influence on the trading price of our shares over time, the price of our common stock may decline and not recover after our offering. Furthermore, if our initial public offering price is above the level that investors determine is reasonable for our shares, some investors may attempt to short sell the stock after trading begins, which would create additional downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

Our initial public offering price may have little or no relationship to the price that would be established using traditional valuation methods, and therefore, the initial public offering price may not be sustainable once trading begins.

We may set the initial public offering price near or equal to the auction clearing price. The offering price of our shares is ultimately determined by negotiation between the underwriters and us after the auction closes and may have little or no relationship to, and may be significantly higher than, the price that otherwise would be established using traditional indicators of value, such as our assets, current earnings or book value or to any other established criteria of value, although these factors are considered in establishing the initial public offering price. As a result, our initial public offering price may not be sustainable once trading begins, and the price of our common stock may decline.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. We have applied for listing on the NYSE Amex, but an active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained following this offering. Accordingly, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our stock is not active.

Market volatility may cause our stock price and the value of your investment to decline.

The initial public offering price for our common stock will be determined through an auction conducted by the underwriters. The initial public offering price may be higher than the trading price of our common stock after the closing of this offering. You may not be able to sell your common stock at or above the initial public offering price and could lose all or part of your investment.

We expect that the price of our common stock will fluctuate substantially, as the market price for the common stock after this offering will be affected by a number of factors, including:

 

   

variations in our operating results;

 

   

variations in operating results of similar companies;

 

   

marketing and advertising initiatives by us or our competitors;

 

   

the receipt, denial or timing of regulatory approvals of our services in new jurisdictions;

 

   

changes in policies, regulations, procedures or programs affecting health care providers and the overall cost of health care in the United States;

 

   

ability of our services to achieve market success;

 

   

our ability to enhance our sales and marketing capabilities;

 

   

the success of any collaborations we may undertake with other companies;

 

   

the success of our expansion into new markets;

 

   

announcements of technological innovations or advancements, new products, services or service enhancements, strategic alliances or agreements by us or our competitors;

 

   

sales of common stock or other securities by us or our stockholders in the future;

 

   

additions or departures of key management personnel;

 

   

threatened or actual litigation;

 

   

disputes or other developments relating to medical malpractice or other litigation matters;

 

   

trading volume of our common stock;

 

   

changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, failure to obtain analyst coverage of our common stock or our failure to achieve analyst earnings estimates;

 

   

developments in our industry; and

 

   

general market conditions and other factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.

These broad market fluctuations may continue and could harm our stock price. Following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, stockholders have occasionally

 

33


Table of Contents

instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Class action securities litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management resources, which could significantly harm our business.

Securities analysts may not initiate coverage for our common stock or may issue negative reports, and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.

Securities analysts may elect not to provide research coverage of our common stock after the completion of this offering. The lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The trading market for our common stock may be affected in part by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. It may be difficult for companies such as ours, with smaller market capitalizations, to attract securities analysts that will cover our common stock. If one or more of the analysts who elects to cover us downgrades our stock, our stock price would likely decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. This could have a negative effect on the market price of our stock.

Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders and their respective affiliates will continue to have substantial control over us after this offering and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.

After this offering, our directors, executive officers, and holders of more than 5% of our common stock, together with their affiliates, will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 65.8% of our outstanding common stock, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will continue to have substantial control over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these stockholders, acting together, will continue to have significant influence over the management and affairs of our company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of:

 

   

delaying, deferring or preventing a change in corporate control;

 

   

impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us; or

 

   

discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payments of dividends present in any of our future debt agreements, and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. If we do not pay dividends, a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Anti-takeover provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law could prevent or delay a change in control of our company.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which will be effective upon the closing of this offering, as well as provisions of Delaware law, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or change of control. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and

 

34


Table of Contents

make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions:

 

   

provide for a staggered Board of Directors;

 

   

permit our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in our control;

 

   

provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board of Directors;

 

   

provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;

 

   

require that any action to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and not be taken by written consent;

 

   

provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide notice in writing in a timely manner, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;

 

   

do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose);

 

   

provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairperson of the Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer or President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer), or by the Board of Directors; and

 

   

provide that stockholders will be permitted to amend our bylaws only upon receiving at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which imposes a special voting requirement for the approval of certain business combinations and related party transactions between Delaware public corporations and affiliated shareholders. This provision could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by or beneficial to our stockholders.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market after this offering, or the perception that they may occur, may depress the market price of our common stock.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, or the perception that substantial sales may be made, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. The lock-up agreements to be delivered by the selling stockholders and our executive officers, directors, and certain of our stockholders provide that the underwriters, in their sole discretion, may release those parties, at any time, or from time to time, and without notice, from their obligation not to dispose of shares of common stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. WR Hambrecht + Co does not have any pre-established conditions to waiving the terms of the lock-up agreements, and any decision by them to waive those conditions would depend on a number of factors, which may include market conditions, the performance of the common stock in the market, and our financial condition at that time.

Based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2011, upon completion of this offering, 13,067,986 shares of our common stock will be outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and no exercise of options. All of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable unless held by an affiliate of ours. The remaining 10,567,986 shares of common stock, or 80.87% of our outstanding shares after this offering, are subject to restrictions on resale under securities laws and are held by existing stockholders who are subject to lock-up provisions under agreements with the underwriters and/or WhiteGlove which, subject to specified exceptions, prohibit the sale of such shares for 180 days after the date of this prospectus, as described under “Lock-up Agreements.” These shares may be sold in the near future as set forth below:

   Immediately after this offering.

10,567,986 shares, or 80.87%

   At various dates more than 180 days after the date of this prospectus.

As restrictions on resale end, the market price could drop significantly if the holders of these restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to any resale registration statements or Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock by creating an excessive supply.

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the shares subject to outstanding options or reserved for issuance under our stock option plans. The registration statement will become effective when filed, and, subject to applicable lock-up agreements, these shares may be resold without restriction in the public marketplace. For a more detailed description, please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”

Raising additional capital by issuing securities may cause dilution to existing stockholders or restrict our operations.

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

New investors in our common stock will experience immediate and substantial dilution after this offering.

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate dilution of $8.41 per share based on the mid-point of the range on the cover page of this prospectus because the price that you pay will be substantially greater than the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock that you acquire. This dilution is due in large part to the fact that many of our earlier investors paid substantially less than the price of the shares being sold in this offering when they purchased their shares of our capital stock. If outstanding options to purchase our common stock are exercised, you will experience additional dilution. See the section entitled “Dilution” in this prospectus for a more detailed description of this dilution.

We will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to divert attention from the development and expansion of our business to devote substantial resources and time to new compliance initiatives.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We are working with our independent legal and accounting advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate control, internal audit, disclosure controls, and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the SEC and the securities exchange on which our stock trades. We will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our Board of Directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues.

Our failure to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our operations, financial position and lower our stock price.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting must be assessed by management each year commencing with the year ended December 31, 2012. We do not currently have comprehensive documentation of our internal control over financial reporting, nor do we document our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Furthermore, we have not tested our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404.

The changes necessary to be compliant with Section 404 will require us to make significant changes in our current controls and procedures. If we are unable to implement the controls and procedures required by Section 404, we might not be able to certify, and our independent registered public accounting firm might not be able to report on, the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we might be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis and might suffer adverse regulatory consequences or violate NYSE Amex listing standards. There could also be negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. In addition, if we are unable to implement the controls and procedures required by Section 404 effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm.

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, we and our independent auditors identified a material weakness relating to our internal control over the financial reporting process and information technology. We are currently in the process of developing remediation plans related to these material weaknesses. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or identify additional material weaknesses, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use these proceeds effectively.

The net proceeds from this offering will be used, as determined by management in its discretion, for the repayment of approximately $2.5 million in debt, expansion of our business to new metropolitan markets, and general corporate purposes. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not necessarily improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses, cause the price of our common stock to decline or impact member services.

Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, our ultimate use of these proceeds may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Stockholders may not agree with such uses, and the net proceeds may be used in a manner that does not increase our operating results or market value.

The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Business.” These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

   

our expectations regarding our revenue, expenses, sales, and operations;

 

   

anticipated trends and challenges in our business and the markets in which we operate;

 

   

our ability to compete in our industry and innovation by our competitors;

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain.

You should refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this prospectus will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We do not undertake to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of 2,500,000 shares of common stock in this offering will be approximately $24,500,000, based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters.

We expect to use the proceeds from this offering, in order of priority, for the repayment of $2.5 million of debt with an interest rate of 13% and a maturity of March 2013, expansion of our business into new metropolitan markets with an estimated expenditure of approximately $8.0 million through December 31, 2012, and for general corporate purposes, for which proceeds we have no specific plan. If substantially less than the maximum proceeds are obtained, we would adjust our current plan of expansion into new metropolitan markets. The principal purposes of this offering are to obtain additional capital, to create a public market for our common stock, facilitate future access to public equity markets, increase awareness of our company among potential customers, expand into new metropolitan markets, broaden our scope of care, and improve our competitive position. In addition, we reserve the right to change the use of proceeds as a result of the occurrence of certain contingencies or opportunities, as they may present themselves, such as the acceleration of our expansion beyond our current plans, the opportunity to acquire equipment, technologies or businesses on favorable terms, to conduct additional marketing and sales activities, and other activities we deem advantageous to our business, although we currently have no commitment or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions or activities. If such opportunities occur, we may use some or all of the remaining net proceeds to pursue such opportunities. We believe that the net proceeds from this offering, our existing cash resources and interest on these funds will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements.

While we have estimated the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering, we cannot specify these uses with certainty. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. Pending use as described above and any remaining net proceeds, we plan to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, including short-term, interest bearing obligations, investment grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States. The goal with respect to the investment of these net proceeds is capital preservation and liquidity so that such funds are readily available to fund the development and expansion of our business.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of our business, and therefore we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

DILUTION

Our net tangible book value, which we have defined as our total tangible assets less total liabilities, as of March 31, 2011 was $8.8 million, or $38.14 per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities and divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding, including 10,107,990 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock upon the completion of this offering. Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after the completion of this offering. After giving effect to the sale of the 2,500,000 shares of common stock offered by us in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2011 would have been $33.3 million, or $2.59 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $1.74 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $8.41 per share to new investors in our common stock. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

 

Historical net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2011

      $ 38.14   
           

Assumed initial public offering price per share

      $ 11.00   

Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2011, before giving effect to this offering

   $ 0.85      

Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering

   $ 1.74      
           

Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering

        2.59   
           

Dilution per share to new investors in this offering

      $ 8.41   
           

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by $0.18 per share and the dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value to new investors by $0.82 per share, assuming the number of shares offered by us as set forth on the cover of this prospectus remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of June 30, 2011 and after giving effect to the offering, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, the differences between existing stockholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us, and the average price per share paid.

 

     Shares Purchased     Total Consideration     Average Price
Per Share
 
     Number      Percent     Amount      Percent    

Existing stockholders

     10,567,986         80.5   $ 22,613,665         45.1   $   2.14   

New investors

     2,500,000         19.5        27,500,000         54.9        11.00   
                                          

Total

     13,067,986         100.0   $ 50,113,665         100.0   $   3.83   
                                          

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share would increase or decrease, respectively, total consideration paid by new investors and total consideration paid by all stockholders by approximately $2.5 million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same.

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock from the selling stockholders in full, our existing stockholders would own 78.0% and our new investors would own 22.0% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering.

The number of shares of common stock outstanding in the table above assumes:

 

   

no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase shares from the selling stockholders;

 

   

the conversion of all of our outstanding shares of Series A, Series A-1, Series B-1, Series C, and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into 10,107,990 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering; and

 

   

the filing of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the effectiveness of our amended and restated bylaws, which will occur immediately upon the completion of this offering.

The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 10,567,986 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and excludes:

 

   

197,164 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding at an exercise price of $2.1961 per share;

 

   

1,707,750 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options at a weighted average exercise price of $2.35 per share; and

 

   

shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which we plan to adopt before the completion of this offering, as described in the section of this prospectus titled “Executive Compensation—Benefit Plans—2011 Equity Incentive Plan.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

Overview

WhiteGlove Health is a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization. Founded in 2006 and incorporated in 2007, we believe we are bringing change and innovation to the U.S.’s health care system by lowering health care costs while improving the consumer’s experience. By designing and developing a new service-oriented health care delivery system from the ground up that uses the Internet, social media, advanced technology, a membership-based (subscription) business model, and nurse practitioners, or NPs, we are able to substantially reduce many of the traditional expenses and complexities of other health care delivery systems and give the consumer a very high quality health care experience at a fixed price.

Key Business Metrics

As a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization, we evaluate a number of business metrics to monitor our performance and management of our business. We believe that the following metrics are important indicators of our performance.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Net Revenues

Our net revenues primarily consist of membership fees received and compensation for the services we provide to our members. Members are charged fees in connection with our membership services and the treatment services provided, as follows:

 

   

Membership fees—All of our members not covered under an insurer membership agreement, discussed below, are charged a membership fee. The current membership fee varies depending on the membership type. For example, the current membership fee for one

consumer MPC Membership is $420 per year. The current membership fee for employer members is $300 per year per person, although we may discount this fee for certain members. Our MCC membership fee is $420 per year per person for one MCC service, $600 per year per person for two MCC services, and $780 per year per person for three or more MCC services.

 

   

Treatment services—Members are charged a fee for each visit. The treatment services fee for our MPC services is $35 for employer and consumer members and varies for members associated with a health insurance company in Texas depending on the member’s designated financial responsibility under their plan with the health insurance company. The treatment services fee for our MCC services is $35 per visit.

In November 2010, we entered into an agreement with Aetna, under which we recognize revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Aetna’s full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas and adjusted based on their members’ utilization of our services. In February 2011, we entered into an agreement with Humana, under which we recognize revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Humana’s full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas. Under our arrangements with Aetna and Humana, the number of health insurance company members covered under the applicable plans is adjusted monthly; the membership fee (capitation rate) is reviewed quarterly and may remain at the same level or be adjusted up or down for future periods depending on the number of services provided in the prior quarterly time period. We invoice the health insurance companies monthly for the amounts applicable to that month, and payment is due from the health insurance companies within 30 days. These insurer membership agreements amended our prior agreements with Aetna and Humana. The transition to the insurer membership agreements resulted in an increase in our accounts receivable and a decrease in our deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Our quarterly net revenues and number of new members fluctuate as a result of certain seasonal factors affecting our members. For example, the most significant increases in the number of member visits typically occur in the first and last fiscal quarters as a result of seasonality associated with colds and flu.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of the salaries, benefits, and other personnel costs of our clinical service personnel, transportation costs, medications and medical supplies, and Well-kits provided to our members. These costs are driven by the number of member visits and the total number of members.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses into the following categories:

Salaries, Benefits, and Other Personnel Costs. Salaries, benefits, and other personnel costs consist of the compensation costs associated with our employees, including base salaries, benefits, bonus compensation and stock-based compensation and amounts paid to our Chief Medical Officer, consultants, and external sales representatives. This excludes any personnel costs associated with clinical service, which are included in cost of revenues.

Advertising and Marketing Costs. Advertising and marketing costs primarily consist of the costs of marketing programs including direct-to-consumer and internet advertising to potential members and marketing materials.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts. Provision for doubtful accounts represents additions recorded to our allowance for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. The provision for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded primarily by applying our historical collection rates to each customer group.

Depreciation. Depreciation consists of depreciation expense related to our long-lived assets.

Other General and Administrative Costs. Other general and administrative costs primarily consist of fees for professional services, such as legal, recruiting and accounting services, and costs for travel, facilities and other corporate expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) primarily consists of interest income and interest expense. Interest income represents interest we receive on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense includes the amortization of discounts associated with our long-term debt and interest incurred on borrowings under our long-term debt and capital leases.

fee revenue increased $0.7 million, or 106.9%, during the first quarter 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This year-over-year increase was primarily the result of increased penetration in all markets we serve that resulted in an increase in the number of new members. In November 2010 and February 2011, we began recognizing revenue under our insurer membership agreements with Aetna and Humana, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized $0.3 million in revenue under these agreements. Revenue from treatment services increased $0.1 million, or 34.3% during the first quarter 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to a 50.2% increase in the number of member visits, which was driven largely by the increase in our membership base.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues totaled $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.4 million, or 53.4% from $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs of our clinical service personnel increased $0.3 million, or 60%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of the increase in average clinical service personnel headcount. In addition, medication and medical supplies included with our medical visits, automobile expenses and the expense associated with our well kits provided to members increased $0.1 million as a direct result of the increase in the number of member visits.

Operating Expenses

Salaries, Benefits, and Other Personnel Costs. Our salaries, benefits, and other personnel costs were $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.5 million, or 64.3% from $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This year-over-year increase was primarily due to additional compensation expense that resulted from the increase in average non-clinical service personnel headcount and a $22,000 increase in stock-based compensation costs.

Advertising and Marketing Costs. Our advertising and marketing costs were $234,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $58,000 or 19.9% as compared to the same period in 2010. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising and promotion expense in the Houston market, which had increased advertising and promotion expenses in the first quarter of 2010 as a result of the launch of the market.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts. Our provision for doubtful accounts was $41,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $21,000 as compared to the same period in 2010. As a percentage of net revenue, our provision for doubtful accounts increased slightly from 2.3% in the first quarter of 2010 to 2.5% in the first quarter of 2011.

Depreciation. Our depreciation costs were $34,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $24,000 as compared to the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily the result of depreciation on our 2010 and first quarter 2011 capital expenditures.

Other General and Administrative Costs. Our other general and administrative costs were $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.3 million from $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and recruiting services as well as additional facilities and travel expenses associated with the expansion of our business in new markets.

Other Income (Expense). Our other expense was $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $0.2 million as compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in other expense was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in interest expense that resulted from the amortization of the debt discount associated with our 2009 Promissory Notes that were repaid in March 2010.

Membership fee revenue increased $2.1 million, or 192.7%, from 2009 to 2010. This year-over-year increase was primarily the result of increased penetration in all markets that resulted in a 188.3% increase in average new membership enrollments. Revenue from treatment services increased $0.4 million, or 125.9%, from 2009 to 2010 due to a 139.4% increase in the number of member visits, which was caused largely by the increase in our membership base.

Our cost of revenues totaled $3.2 million in 2010, an increase of $1.6 million, or 101.9% from $1.6 million in 2009. Salaries, benefits, and other personnel costs of our clinical service personnel increased $1.1 million, or 94.2%, from 2009 to 2010 primarily as a result of the 100.0% increase in average clinical service personnel headcount.

This year-over-year increase was primarily due to additional compensation expense that resulted from the 111.1% increase in average non-clinical service personnel headcount and a $23,000 increase in stock-based compensation costs.

Advertising and Marketing Costs. Our advertising and marketing costs were $0.9 million in 2010, an increase of $0.3 million or 63.8%, from $0.6 million in 2009, primarily as a result of increased advertising and promotion expenditures in 2010 in the Houston market, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2009.

As a percentage of net revenue, our provision for doubtful accounts decreased from 3.7% in 2009 to 3.4% in 2010 due to the increase in revenue associated with health insurance companies and employer members, which have historically had a higher rate of collection compared to our consumer members.

Depreciation. Our depreciation costs were $60,000 in 2010, an increase of $46,000 from 2009. This increase was primarily the result of depreciation on our 2009 and 2010 capital expenditures of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Other General and Administrative Costs. Our other general and administrative costs were $1.3 million in 2010, an increase of $0.6 million, or 92.5%, from $0.7 million in 2009. This year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in legal, recruiting, and accounting professional services as well as additional facilities expense associated with the opening of the Boston and Phoenix service areas, which launched in November 2010 and January 2011, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Since inception, we have primarily financed our operations through the collection of our accounts receivable, issuances of our preferred stock and borrowings under promissory notes. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash balances of $11.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively. We believe that our current short-term liquidity position, excluding any proceeds from current or future securities offerings, will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations.

We are currently planning an initial public offering and estimate that we will raise $24.5 million from the sale of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $11.00 per share, less applicable fees and expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering to expand our business into new metropolitan markets, repay approximately $2.5 million in debt and for other general corporate purposes. In the event that this source of funding is not available, we would adjust our current plans of expansion into new metropolitan markets and delay the repayment of our $2.5 million debt until maturity in March 2013.

Outstanding Accounts Receivable

We are paid for our services primarily from health insurance companies, employers and private individuals. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our gross accounts receivable was $612,000 and $352,000, respectively, of which 78.0% and 79.7%, respectively represent amounts due from health insurance companies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application, while in other cases management’s judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Membership fee revenue represents membership fees paid by or on of behalf of substantially all of the Company’s members. The Company accounts for membership fee revenue on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the membership period, which ranges from six months to one year.

Health insurance company members: In November 2010, we entered into an agreement with Aetna, under which we recognize revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Aetna’s full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas and adjusted based on their members’ utilization of our services. In February 2011, we entered into an agreement with Humana, under which we recognize revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Humana’s full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas. Under our arrangements with Aetna and Humana, the number of health insurance company members covered under the applicable plans is adjusted monthly; the membership fee (capitation rate) is reviewed quarterly and may remain at the same level or be adjusted up or down for future periods depending on the number of services provided in the prior quarterly time period. We invoice the health insurance companies monthly for the amounts applicable to that month and payment is due from the health insurance companies within 30 days. These insurer membership agreements amended our prior agreements with Aetna and Humana. The transition to the insurer membership agreements resulted in an increase in our accounts receivable and a decrease in our deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Membership fees for individuals covered under an insurance policy of a health insurance company with whom we have a non-capitated contractual relationship are billed at the time the member enrolls in our Mobile Primary Care (“MPC”) service. Currently we have contractual relationships with Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare to provide MPC services within our Texas service areas. The membership fee varies depending on the duration of the membership which ranges from six months to one year. For those members covered by a health insurance plan with a co-pay, the membership fee is billed to and paid by the health insurance company, as part of their normal payment system. For those members covered by a High Deductible Health Plan, if the member’s deductible has not been met then the membership fee is billed to and paid by the individual member, via credit or debit card; if the member’s deductible has been met then the membership fee is billed to and paid by the health insurance company as part of their normal payment system. Membership fees reimbursed by health insurance companies are recorded as revenues net of allowances.

Employer members: Employers can participate in our services by signing a contract with us through our Corporate Membership Program. Contracts with employers are one year in duration. Membership fees for individuals employed by those employers (and their dependants) and enrolled in either our MPC service, our Mobile Chronic Care (“MCC”) services, or both are billed to the employer at the beginning of each month and are due either immediately (and paid via credit or debit card) or due within 15 days (and paid via check or electronic funds transfer) depending upon the contractual arrangement with the employer.

Individual members: Individuals and their families can participate in our services by enrolling in either our MPC service, our MCC services, or both through our website or by calling our Membership Support department and agreeing to our terms and conditions. Our service agreements with individuals are one year in duration. Membership fees for individuals and their families enrolled in one of our services are billed to that individual or family upon enrollment on a semi-annual basis and paid via credit or debit card at the beginning of the month following enrollment. Membership fees for individuals and their families who enrolled prior to 2011 are billed to that individual or family monthly at the beginning of each month and paid via credit or debit card.

The Company’s deferred revenue as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 primarily consisted of billings for membership fees that were reimbursed by health insurance companies. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, membership fee revenue was approximately 79.9%, 76.0% and 75.5%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net revenues.

The Company recognizes revenue for treatment services rendered upon completion of the service visit. Members (whether enrolled through a health insurance company, an employer member or directly as an individual member) are responsible for payment of treatment services fees, which are billed directly to the member and paid via credit, debit, a flexible spending account or health savings account card upon completion of the visit. Less than 2% of billings for treatment services are reimbursed by health insurance companies and are recorded as revenues net of allowances. Adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts from the health insurance companies, are recorded upon settlement.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have one stock-based employee compensation plan. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. We measure the fair value of restricted stock awards at the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense for both types of awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. We present excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, if any, as financing cash flows.

On each of the grant dates, we granted employees stock options at exercise prices equal to the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, as determined on a contemporaneous basis by the Board of Directors. To determine the fair value of the common stock, our Board of Directors considered many factors, including:

 

   

our current and historical operating performance;

 

   

our expected future operating performance;

 

   

our financial condition at the grant date;

 

   

the liquidation rights and other preferences of our preferred stock;

 

   

input from management;

 

   

the lack of marketability of our common stock;

 

   

the potential future marketability of our common stock;

 

   

the business risks inherent in our stage of development and business; and

 

   

the market performance of comparable public companies.

In 2010, we conducted a contemporaneous valuation to assist us in the determination of the fair value of our common stock for stock options granted in 2010. Our Board of Directors considered the relevant objective and subjective factors from the valuation that were deemed important in determining the fair value of our common stock.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We are paid for our services primarily by health insurance companies, employers, and private individuals. While our accounts receivable are uncollateralized, our credit risk is limited due to the significance of health insurance companies to our results of operations. Amounts collected from health insurance companies may be different than amounts billed due to client eligibility issues, insufficient or

 

57

incomplete documentation, and other reasons unrelated to credit risk. We establish our allowance for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. Our provision for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded primarily by applying our historical collection rates to each payer group. We believe that our recorded allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover potential losses; however, actual collections in subsequent periods may require changes to our estimates.

Income Taxes

We recognize tax benefits or expenses on the temporary difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using statutory based tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. We are required to adjust our deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period in which tax rates or the provisions of the income tax laws change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount for which we believe recovery is more likely than not. We classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements or changes in existing accounting pronouncements may have a significant effect on the results of operations, the financial condition, or the net worth of our business operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures to require new disclosures related to transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and additional disclosure requirements related to Level 3 measurements. The guidance also clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The additional disclosure requirements are effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the additional disclosure requirements related to Level 3 measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted these provisions effective January 1, 2010, and they did not have a material impact on our disclosures.

In February 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidelines on accounting for subsequent events. The amendment clarifies that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued, but that SEC filers are not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The amendment was effective upon issuance and did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS

Overview

WhiteGlove Health is a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization. Founded in 2006 and incorporated in 2007, we believe we are bringing change and innovation to the U.S.’s health care system by lowering health care costs while improving the consumer’s health care experience. By designing and developing a new service-oriented health care delivery system from the ground up that uses the Internet, social media, advanced technology, a membership-based (subscription) business model, and nurse practitioners, or NPs, we are able to substantially reduce many of the traditional expenses and complexities of other health care delivery systems and to give the consumer a very high quality health care experience at a fixed price.

WhiteGlove brings unique innovation to the health care industry in the following ways:

 

   

Health Care Experience. The WhiteGlove Experience gives its members easy access to an exceptional, service-oriented health care experience, 365 days a year, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at a member’s desired location (e.g., home, work, hotel). WhiteGlove’s Mobile Primary Care Membership Service, or MPC, brings primary medical care, certain generic prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and Well-kits (consisting of chicken soup, crackers, Gatorade, applesauce, cough drops, Kleenex and much more) to its members. WhiteGlove’s Mobile Chronic Care Membership Service, or MCC, brings chronic medical care, certain generic prescription medications, and diagnostic testing to its members.

 

   

Business Model. WhiteGlove’s business model is different from the traditional fee-for-service reimbursement model that most health care providers rely on. Instead, WhiteGlove is a membership (subscription) based business (like Costco or AAA) with an all-inclusive, fixed visit fee, which brings predictability and certainty to the cost of health care for employers and consumers. WhiteGlove does not file insurance claims for any of the visits or the generic prescription medications prescribed to any of its employer or consumer members that pay us directly for their memberships. This business model is especially attractive to self-insured employers and those consumers on consumer-driven health plans, e.g., high deductible health plans (HDHP) with or without a health savings account (HSA).

 

   

Customer Acquisition. Most health care providers reactively cater to consumers that walk in or call and request medical care, relying mainly on visit volume and the number of procedures they perform to make their money. WhiteGlove’s growth is being driven by proactively selling directly to employers and quantifying the business value of its Corporate Membership Program to self-insured employers. Like other health care providers, WhiteGlove also has consumers join every day and request medical care.

 

   

Proprietary Web and Mobile Technology. A significant advantage of WhiteGlove is a reliance on the use of proprietary technology which allows us to deliver a high quality health care experience at a reasonable price point. The company has built, and continues to build, proprietary technology that links together all the constituents with one single integrated technology platform. Specifically, our technology platform links together:

 

   

our members;

 

   

the employers;

 

   

the diagnostic laboratories and pharmacies; and

 

   

our membership support, clinical, sales, marketing, account management, and back-office billing functions.

our membership support, clinical, sales, marketing, account management, and back-office billing functions.

This allows us to automate the business and clinical treatment plans, eliminate costs and errors, optimize workflow, deliver unique member value, and erect significant barriers to entry.

We believe we are offering a new innovative delivery system that has the ability to break the health care cost trend in the U.S. unlike the current health care delivery systems, and improve the consumer health care experience and employee productivity. Our innovative business model and our provider network made up of nurse practitioners, together with our significant use of advanced technology, allows us to provide medical care, certain generic medications, and more, at a much lower cost when compared to most health care delivery systems in the U.S.

* In the health care industry, “provider” generally means physician; for WhiteGlove, “provider” means nurse practitioner.

As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately 484,000 individual, employer, and insurance plan members in seven major metropolitan markets (Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; Phoenix, AZ; and San Antonio, TX). We have plans to expand across the U.S. The company’s ultimate objective is to provide a national service to its members giving them the same, consistent, affordable, high quality health care experience across all of the markets we serve. In 2010, more than 99% of our members were within our Texas markets.

WhiteGlove is currently providing medical care to employees and dependents of approximately 100 employers that are paying us directly for the membership fees and approximately 300 employers whose memberships are paid for through our insurance relationships. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately 23,000 enrolled members across all of the markets we serve for which we are paid a monthly, semi-annual or annual membership fee. In addition, WhiteGlove has entered into agreements with Aetna and Humana whereby they pay us a monthly membership fee (capitation rate) to provide services to approximately 461,000 members of their full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas. We target densely populated markets with a concentration of self-insured employers and high health care costs, among other factors. Our membership enrollment grew by triple digit percentages in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. We also entered into an agreement with UnitedHealthcare to pay for the Mobile Primary Care membership for certain of their insured members in Texas.

WhiteGlove continues to enjoy exceptional feedback and reviews from its members. According to Citysearch.com, as of March 31, 2010, WhiteGlove had more 5-star reviews than any other

company in the country. Additionally, WhiteGlove was acknowledged in 2010 by Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) as one of the three most innovative “Approaches to the Delivery of Health Care” in the country.

WhiteGlove’s Membership Service enrollment grew by triple digit percentages in 2008, 2009, and 2010. As of June 30, 2011, WhiteGlove had more than 2,000 members in six of its seven markets. However, because we continue to expand into new markets, the cost of our expansion negatively impacts the company’s overall profitability. WhiteGlove’s actual individual and employer Membership Service enrollments at the end of each period are:

LOGO

As of June 30, 2011, the total number of enrollments presented for 2011 includes members that are enrolled and thereby currently have access to WhiteGlove services, as well as those that have entered into contractual arrangements to begin their enrollments in 2011. Since opening the Boston and Phoenix markets, WhiteGlove has entered into contractual arrangements to begin membership enrollments for approximately 7,623 new employer members in these markets. The table above does not include the approximately 461,000 members from our insurance company relationships.

WhiteGlove is raising capital to continue with its expansion into new metropolitan markets across the U.S., to accelerate its technology advances, and broaden its membership service scope.

Historical and Current Operations

WhiteGlove began operating in the Austin, TX market in 2007, expanded into Dallas, TX in 2008 and further expanded into San Antonio, TX, Fort Worth, TX and Houston, TX in 2009. During that time period, WhiteGlove’s business model and customer acquisition strategy focused on acquiring individual, health insurance company and employer members in our Texas markets. As a result, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 approximately 99.6% of WhiteGlove’s revenue was derived from our Texas markets and 53.6% of our revenue was derived from our health insurance company relationships. Approximately 78.0% and 79.7% of our gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, represented receivables due from health insurance companies.

During 2009, WhiteGlove shifted its primary customer acquisition strategy to market and sell directly to self-insured employers in Texas and beyond. As a result of this strategic shift, employer members as a percentage of total enrolled members has increased from zero percent in 2008 to 23.8% in 2009, 44.7% in 2010, and 59.1% as of June 30, 2011. As of 2009, WhiteGlove has elected not to pursue relationships with any health insurance companies in Texas or other markets, except for those already established with Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare in the Texas markets. As we expand

 

61


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

into new markets outside of Texas in 2011 and in future years, we expect revenue from our health insurance company relationships to decline as a percentage of total revenue and revenue from employer members and individual members to increase as a percentage of our total revenue.

During 2010, WhiteGlove began expanding outside of Texas with the opening of the Boston, MA service area on November 1, 2010 and the Phoenix, AZ service area on January 1, 2011. We are currently expanding into additional market areas outside of Texas and therefore expect that revenues from service areas outside of Texas will represent an increasing percentage of our total revenue.

WhiteGlove’s long-term strategy is not to be reliant on relationships with health insurance companies to make money. As a result, our business model departs from the traditional fee-for-service business model that most health care providers rely on and is not dependent on reimbursements for medical services from health insurance companies, Medicare or Medicaid. By contrast, our business model is membership-based (subscription) where a member can enroll or subscribe in one or more Membership Services, whether paid for by the individual or employer. Mobile Primary Care Service, or MPC, and Mobile Chronic Care, or MCC, membership fees are paid for by employers and individuals (and MPC by certain insurance companies in Texas). Unlike most other health care providers whose revenue is based on visit volumes, ours is not. Our revenue is driven by membership enrollments. Consequently, when our members request medical care, we are able to give them the time and attention they deserve. Membership fee revenue differs significantly from the traditional fee for service reimbursements. Membership fee revenue is associated with our membership terms which are one year in duration for employer and individual members who pay for our services directly. By contrast, fee for service revenues are tied directly to the type and number of services provided at time of care.

WhiteGlove generates revenue and incurs expenses as follows:

Net Revenues

Our net revenues primarily consist of membership fees received and compensation for the services we provide to our members. Members are charged fees in connection with our membership services and the treatment services provided, as follows:

 

   

Membership fees—All of our members not covered under an insurer membership agreement, discussed below, are charged a membership fee. The current membership fee varies depending on the membership type. For example, the current membership fee for one consumer MPC Membership is $420 per year. The current membership fee for employer members is $300 per year per person, although we may discount this fee for certain members. Our MCC membership fee is $420 per year per person for one MCC service, $600 per year per person for two MCC services, and $780 per year per person for three or more MCC services.

 

   

Treatment services—Members are charged a fee for each visit. The treatment services fee for our MPC services is $35 for employer and consumer members and varies for members associated with a health insurance company in Texas depending on the member’s designated financial responsibility under their plan with the health insurance company. The treatment services fee for our MCC services is $35 per visit.

In November 2010, we entered into an agreement with Aetna, under which we recognize revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Aetna’s full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas and adjusted based on their members’ utilization of our services. In February 2011, we entered into an agreement with Humana, under which we recognize revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Humana’s full risk health insurance plans within our Texas service areas. Under our arrangements with Aetna and Humana, the number of health insurance company members

covered under the applicable plans is adjusted monthly; the membership fee (capitation rate) is reviewed quarterly and may remain at the same level or be adjusted up or down for future periods depending on the number of services provided in the prior quarterly time period. We invoice the health insurance companies monthly for the amounts applicable to that month, and payment is due from the health insurance companies within 30 days. These insurer membership agreements amended our prior agreements with Aetna and Humana. The transition to the insurer membership agreements resulted in an increase in our accounts receivable and a decrease in our deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Our quarterly net revenues and number of new members fluctuate as a result of certain seasonal factors affecting our members. For example, the most significant increases in the number of member visits typically occur in the first and last fiscal quarters as a result of seasonality associated with colds and flu.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of the salaries, benefits, and other personnel costs of our clinical service personnel, transportation costs, medications and medical supplies, and Well-kits provided to our members. These costs are driven by the number of member visits and the total number of members.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses into the following categories:

Salaries, Benefits, and Other Personnel Costs. Salaries, benefits, and other personnel costs consist of the compensation costs associated with our employees, including base salaries, benefits, bonus compensation and stock-based compensation and amounts paid to our Chief Medical Officer, consultants, and external sales representatives. This excludes any personnel costs associated with clinical service, which are included in cost of revenues.

Advertising and Marketing Costs. Advertising and marketing costs primarily consist of the costs of marketing programs including direct-to-consumer and internet advertising to potential members and marketing materials.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts. Provision for doubtful accounts represents additions recorded to our allowance for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. The provision for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded primarily by applying our historical collection rates to each customer group.

Depreciation. Depreciation consists of depreciation expense related to our long-lived assets.

Other General and Administrative Costs. Other general and administrative costs primarily consist of fees for professional services, such as legal, recruiting and accounting services, and costs for travel, facilities and other corporate expenses.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) primarily consists of interest income and interest expense. Interest income represents interest we receive on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense includes the amortization of discounts associated with our long-term debt and interest incurred on borrowings under our long-term debt and capital leases.

History of the Company

Robert Fabbio, the company’s CEO and a serial entrepreneur, founded Tivoli Systems (now, a division of IBM) and Dazel Corporation (now, a division of HP). The common theme in his career is identifying big opportunities and capitalizing on them. Mr. Fabbio devised the concept for WhiteGlove while he was in semi-retirement after a successful career in the high tech industry.

 

63


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

Mr. Fabbio had concluded over lunch that he was too young to retire, but didn’t want to do another high tech venture. He decided he wanted to launch a service business that was focused on a large, messy market that had complex subject matter in which he could leverage his technology background. Essentially, he wanted to focus on a complex, messy service industry that was in need of disruption.

About a month later, Mr. Fabbio had to visit a doctor. Mr. Fabbio experienced the long wait times and inconveniences that frustrate most health care consumers. A 9 a.m. appointment turned into a five hour ordeal between driving around, finding parking, filling out forms, waiting in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor, waiting for labs, waiting to be discharged, driving to the pharmacy, waiting for a prescription, and then going to the grocery store. According to Mr. Fabbio, this experience led him to conclude that his next business would focus on disrupting health care in the U.S.—one of the largest, messiest markets in the world, that has complex subject matter and where there are many areas that could be improved with the use of technology. Mr. Fabbio decided he would deliver health care to the consumer in an affordable way, including medical care, certain prescription medications, foods, beverages, and over-the-counter medications.

To work through the details of disaggregating the entire process of delivering care with the intent of putting it all back together in a highly automated way, Mr. Fabbio turned to his friend Dr. William Rice, M.D., co-founder, to assist him, and the rest is WhiteGlove history.

Industry Overview

U.S. Health Care Macro Trends

The health care market in the United States is large. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, reported that spending on health care in the U.S. was approximately 17.3% of U.S. gross domestic product, or GDP, in 2009. In 2009, an estimated $2.47 trillion was spent on health care in the U.S., or $8,160 per capita. More money is spent per person on health care in the U.S. than in any other nation in the world, and a greater percentage of total income in the U.S. is spent on health care than in almost any other nation.

Health care costs are rising faster than wages or inflation, and the health care share of GDP is expected to continue its upward trend, reaching 19.5% of GDP by 2017. The magnitude of health care spending is difficult for consumers, employers, insurance companies, and government agencies to address and is causing challenges with their budgets across the board.

Health care is one of the largest expense items for employers, with anticipated increases of 9-12% annually. One in four Americans cannot afford health insurance, even as service satisfaction continues to decline. At the same time, insurance companies are processing an estimated 5 billion

claims annually and continue to raise their rates at a rapid pace to offset the increasing cost of health care and the impact of the new health care reform laws.

Most Americans (59.3%) receive their health insurance coverage through an employer (which includes both private as well as civilian public-sector employees) under group coverage. Costs for employer- provided health insurance are rising rapidly. According to a 2007 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, since 2001, premiums for family coverage increased 78% while wages rose 19% and overall inflation was 17%. Workers with employer-sponsored insurance also pay for a portion of the insurance; in 2007, the average percentage of premium paid by covered workers was 16% for single coverage and 28% for family coverage. In addition to their premium contributions, most covered workers face additional payments when they use health care services, in the form of deductibles and copayments.

For many employers, absorbing health benefit cost increases of this size is simply not an option. Employers utilize a number of strategies to manage health care costs. Examples include switching plan vendors, raising employee contributions, deductibles, co-pays and other employee cost-sharing provisions, implementing wellness and other health promotion incentive plans, and eliminating or reducing retiree medical plans.

Rising Cost of Health Care for Employers

As employers struggle with rising health care costs and a difficult economy, U.S. workers, for the first time in at least a decade, are being asked to shoulder the entire increase in the cost of health benefits on their own.

The average worker with a family plan experienced a 14% premium increase in 2010, pushing the cost to nearly $4,000 a year, according to a survey by the nonprofit Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust. That is the largest annual increase since the survey began in 1999 and a marked change from previous years, when employers generally split the rise in the cost of premiums with their employees. The average employer contribution to a family plan did not go up at all in 2010, meaning the entire increase was borne by workers. At the same time, nearly a third of employers reported that they either reduced the scope of benefits they were offering in 2010 or increased the amount that workers must pay out of pocket for their medical care.

LOGO

Workers saw average copayments for routine office visits increase 10% and deductibles continue their surge upward. According to the Kaiser/HRET Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Benefits, 2000-2010, in 2010, more than a quarter of American workers with employer-provided health coverage were in plans with deductibles of at least $1,000.

Overall, premium growth slowed slightly in 2010 to 3%, with the average annual cost of a family health plan reaching $13,770. Workers picked up 30% of that bill. The average plan for an individual cost $5,049.

As a result, 15% of employers offering health benefits offered HDHPs in 2010. Among employers with 1,000 or more workers, 34% offer an HDHP in 2010, up from 28% in 2009 and 22% in 2008. An HDHP shifts the initial financial burden for primary and chronic care to the employees and dependents.

Maria Ghazal with the Business Roundtable publically stated, “CEOs cite rising health care costs as the greatest cost pressure on U.S. businesses—where for many employers, spending on health care for both active and retired employees is so high that it is endangering the survival of their organizations, both large and small.”

Primary and Chronic Care Alternatives and Challenges

There are a number of provider delivery/business models available to U.S. employers and consumers for: wellness, primary care (acute), and chronic care. Specifically, the options are: primary care physicians or physician groups, concierge doctors/services, retail clinics, urgent care centers, minor emergency clinics, hospitals, wellness centers, and telemedicine services. Most of those choices do not address the challenges that exist in the health care industry today. Specifically, the health care industry is:

 

   

Inconvenient. Most health care delivery models have limited hours of access and challenging schedules and force consumers to come to them and suffer through long wait times (while exposed to other patients’ germs). Once a patient is seen by the doctor, then he or she usually also must go to a pharmacy to get medication, which also typically involves a long wait time, go to a grocery store for additional items, and then finally home.

 

   

Expensive. Most health care delivery models charge for every service they perform, and consumers rarely know what the cost is going to be until they get the bill or the explanation of benefits, which makes these providers fee-for-service businesses where the costs have no bounds.

 

   

Inefficient and error-prone. According to the Merritt Hawkins 2008 Survey of Primary Care Physicians, over 55% of the physicians surveyed stated that they had overhead costs of between 50-70% of net medical revenue, and another 18% of the physicians surveyed stated that they had overhead costs of between 41-50% of net medical revenue. These overhead costs were primarily for hired staff that employed manual processes to handle billing and claims, insurance coding and processing, supply inventory and replenishment, theft, reimbursement and collections, scheduling, misplaced or lost information, and follow-up with patients. In addition, all the staff personnel and manual processing introduce a higher likelihood of errors.

In order to address these challenges, the existing providers would have to embrace business model, technological, and value network innovation, which for many is difficult to do. Consequently, the existing provider systems are likely to continue to contribute to the problem rather than address the challenges that are inherent in the currently prevailing system.

The Growing Demand for Chronic Care

Primary care physicians and general internists in particular have been at the forefront of managing chronic diseases, providing comprehensive care, and coordinating long-term care. According to the 2009 Almanac of Chronic Disease, more than 133 million Americans have at least one chronic condition, and of that group 45%, or 60 million people, have multiple chronic conditions. According to the 2006 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, it is projected that by the year 2030, an estimated 171 million Americans will have a chronic condition.

Today, approximately 50% (adding the percents below together) of all Americans have one or more chronic diseases and 28% have two or more chronic diseases.

According to the 2009 Almanac of Chronic Disease, in 2007, approximately 77% of U.S. workers have at least one chronic condition, and 55% of workers have more than one chronic condition.

LOGO

As may be expected, chronic conditions are skewed to the older demographic in the U.S. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, for the Medicare program, 83% of beneficiaries have one or more chronic conditions and 23% have five or more chronic conditions. Within the next decade, the baby boomers will begin to be eligible for Medicare, and by 2030, one-fifth of Americans will be above the age of 65, with an increasing proportion above age 85. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, approximately 75% of the 133 million Americans who are currently living with a chronic condition are over the age of 65. Among adults ages 80 and older, 92% have one chronic condition, and 73% have two or more. In 2000, physicians spent an estimated 32% of patient care hours providing services to adults age 65 and older. If current utilization patterns continue, according to the Health Resources and Services Administration, it is expected that by 2020, almost 40% of a physician’s time will be spent treating the aging population.

Declining Numbers of Primary Care Physicians

Family medicine and family physicians play a very important role in the health care system of a country. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, in the U.S., for example, nearly one in four office visits are made to family physicians. That is 208 million office visits each year-nearly 83 million more than the next largest medical specialty. Today, family physicians provide more care for the U.S.’s underserved and rural populations than any other medical specialist. Family physicians deliver a range of acute, chronic, and preventive medical care services. In addition to diagnosing and treating illness, they also provide preventive care, including routine checkups, health-risk assessments, immunization and screening tests, and personalized counseling on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Family physicians also manage chronic illness, often coordinating care provided by other sub-specialists.

Statistics show an increasing problem in the U.S. is the shortage of primary care physicians. In the U.S., the number of medical students entering family practice training dropped by 50% between 1997 and 2005. In 1998, half of internal medicine residents chose primary care, but by 2006, over 80% became specialists. A survey by the University of Missouri-Columbia (UMC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services predicts that by 2025 the U.S. will be short 35,000 to 44,000 adult care

primary care physicians. According to the AMA’s Physician Characteristics and Distribution in the U.S., 35% of physicians nationwide are over the age of 55. Most will likely retire within the next five to 10 years. If this trend continues, there will not be enough primary care physicians to take care of an aging population with growing incidences of chronic diseases.

This is occurring at a time when there are great changes in the U.S. medical system:

 

   

payment based on quantity of services delivered, not quality;

 

   

aging of the population increasing the prevalence and complexity of chronic health conditions, most of which are handled in primary care settings; and

 

   

increasing emphasis on life-style changes and preventative measures, often poorly covered by health insurance or not at all.

We believe that without primary care, the health care system will become increasingly fragmented, over-specialized, and inefficient, leading to poorer quality care at higher costs.

Increased Reliance on Nurse Practitioners for Primary and Chronic Care

There is rapid adoption of the use of nurse practitioners, or NPs, in the U.S. NPs are registered nurses who are prepared, through advanced education and clinical training, to provide a wide range of preventive and acute health care services to individuals of all ages. NPs complete graduate-level education preparation that leads to a master’s degree. NPs take health histories and provide complete physical examinations; diagnose and treat many common acute and chronic problems; interpret laboratory results and X-rays; prescribe and manage medications and other therapies; provide health teaching and supportive counseling with an emphasis on prevention of illness and health maintenance; and refer patients to other health professionals as needed.

NPs are authorized to practice across the nation and have prescriptive privileges, of varying degrees, in all 50 states. The most recent Health Resources and Services Administration Sample Survey report (2008) shows 158,348 NPs in the U.S., an increase of more than 12% over 2004 data.

According to Jan Towers, director of health policy for the American Academy of NPs, about 8,000 NPs are graduating annually. 80% of NPs specialize in primary care, compared to about 35% of the 6,000 certified physician assistants who graduate each year.

NPs are playing a vital and increasing role in providing primary and chronic care to Americans.

Without Innovation, Costs Will Continue to Rise and Quality Will Continue to Suffer

According to Policy Relevant Determinants of Health: An International Perspective, when compared with other developed countries, the U.S. ranked lowest in its primary care functions and lowest in health care outcomes, yet highest in health care spending. We are in great need of innovation that dramatically reverses the current trends. One of the greatest challenges of the health care cost problem is the magnitude and complexity of health conditions, economics, and constituents in the overall system.

One of the great opportunities in health care is to organize its key conditions, economics, and constituents around a service delivery platform that can be measured and managed to both improve service as well as manage cost. Just as FedEx saw an opportunity in the package delivery/logistics market to provide a simple service that improved quality as well as reduced cost, a similar opportunity exists in health care.

We believe that without new service delivery systems that significantly lower and control health care costs while improving the consumer’s health care experience, the U.S. government, employers, and consumers will continue to struggle with the escalating cost of health care. We believe our innovative service delivery system holds great promise in changing health care in the U.S.

U.S. Healthcare Expenditures

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Offices of the Actuary, National Health Statistics Group, annual spending on healthcare in the U.S. was approximately $2.486 trillion in 2009. Of the approximately $2.486 trillion in spending, $755 billion was spent on physician and clinical services (medical services) and prescription drugs. This excludes hospital care, dental services, home health care, nursing care, durable and non-durable medical equipment and products, government administration, and public health activities, all of which WhiteGlove does not provide. In addition, WhiteGlove does not serve the Medicaid or Medicare markets today nor does it provide services to other governmental sponsored insurance programs, further reducing the $755 billion by $308 billion. The result is annual spending of $447 billion paid for by private health insurance sponsored by employers and individuals’ out of pocket expenditures. WhiteGlove believes that it is capable of addressing approximately 70% of the $447 billion spent on medical services and prescription drugs by private health insurance plans and individuals.

Total Addressable Market

We believe the market opportunity for WhiteGlove is large. While WhiteGlove believes that it is capable of impacting much of the $447 billion spent annually on medical services and prescription drugs described above, this is not how we calculate our Total Addressable Market (TAM). Instead, we compute our TAM, by looking at the number of employees and dependents that work for employers that are self-insured. The table below shows the percentages of workers that are on self-funded plans.

Source: Kaiser/HRET Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Benefits, 1999-2010.

WhiteGlove’s primary customer acquisition strategy is to market and sell directly to self-insured employers. According to United Benefit Advisors in 2010, 4.2% of employers with 100-199 employees are self-insured, 33.7% of employers with 200-499 employees are self-insured, and according to ehow.com, 60% of employers with more than 500 employees were self-insured in 2009.

This represents approximately 44,153,792 employees in the U.S. (using the percentages above multiplied by the respective number of employees in firms of the three sizes) of the 114,817,260 employed by employers of these three sizes, according to the U.S. Census Bureau Statistics of U.S. Business 2008. With an estimated two dependents for each employee, our target market consists of a total of approximately 132,461,375 people. Using our employer pricing for MPC and MCC memberships and $35 a visit, we are able to compute our total addressable market.

This target market represents an estimated annual TAM of approximately $91 billion, of which approximately $68 billion is membership fees, using WhiteGlove’s employer rates. This is WhiteGlove’s target market.

We believe that market demand is significant for any health care provider that provides to consumers and employers the following:

 

   

easy access to a convenient, high quality, consumer-focused health care experience; and

 

   

lower health care cost.

We believe that our membership services deliver these objectives.

Our Solution

As a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization, WhiteGlove offers two membership services to its members: Mobile Primary Care and Mobile Chronic Care. WhiteGlove’s Membership Services are designed to lower and cap consumers’ and employees’ health care costs for the services we provide, while giving the consumer an exceptional health care experience. Our Membership Services are available to consumers and employers and are described below.

Mobile Primary Care Membership Services

This Membership Service was launched in August 2007. Members enrolled in WhiteGlove’s MPC service enjoy medical care, delivered by NPs and phlebotomists, that comes to them to address their primary care needs. This service is available when our member isn’t feeling well (Get-well Care) or when our member needs diagnostic tests or a wellness exam (Stay-well Care). Well-kits containing chicken soup, crackers, Gatorade, Kleenex, cough drops, applesauce, and more, together with generic prescription medications, are supplied to our members as part of this service at no additional cost.

WhiteGlove has relationships with licensed pharmacists to repackage bulk generic prescription medications into appropriate doses that may be dispensed at the time of our visit in compliance with applicable state and federal law based on the law in each state. In the event that a member needs additional prescription medications beyond those dispensed at the time of our visit, our system sends a prescription to Walmart for generic prescription medications which will then be delivered to the member. Please see our risk factor on page 28 in “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Regulation”.

Our members use WhiteGlove’s MPC Service to address most of the ailments that are commonly addressed during visits to a primary care doctor’s office, a retail clinic, or a minor emergency center, including:

 

Primary (Get-Well Care)

   Primary (Stay-Well Care)

Ear, Nose, Throat

   Lab Work

Skin, Hair, Nail

   Vaccines

Respiratory

   Physicals

Digestive and Urinary

   Screenings

In addition, our members can contact us for lab work, physicals (sports/camp/back-to-school), wellness assessments, and vaccines.

WhiteGlove believes it provides approximately 70% of the medical services handled in a typical primary care setting. The most notable differences between the medical services we provide and those typically found in primary care settings are: x-rays; ultrasound; suturing; retinal, pelvic, genital and rectal exams; advanced cardiology evaluations; and treatment of chronic depression, chronic pain, addiction and pregnancy. Our MPC service does not address medical matters that typically require a specialist. WhiteGlove administers approximately 90 individual diagnostic labs and panels. We gather the sample from our member, at their home or work, prepare the sample and send it to some of the largest diagnostic labs in the country. Within a one to two day period, WhiteGlove receives the lab results digitally and our system automatically posts them to the members health portal, sends the member an email that their results are available for viewing on-line, and has one of our clinical people contact the member and discuss their results with them.

Mobile Primary Care Membership Service Summary:

 

   

Get-Well Care, Stay-Well Care, vaccines, and diagnostic labs.

 

   

Our visit fees are capped at $35 per visit.

 

   

Gives members access to medical care 365 days a year, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in all of our service areas.

To the extent that an MCC member’s chronic condition requires treatment that is outside the delineated scope of care for each of the chronic care conditions we address, such member will require additional health care, and could require health insurance coverage to pay for such care. We provide a clearly delineated scope of medical care for such conditions and cannot address a member’s medical needs that go beyond such scope.

WhiteGlove Corporate Membership Program

At the Business Roundtable, a trade association of approximately 160 corporate chief executive officers, CEOs cited rising health care costs as the greatest cost pressure on U.S. businesses. In May 2011, the PwC Health Research Institute issued their study “Behind the Numbers: Medical Cost Trends in 2012”, indicating that health care costs are expected to increase 8% in 2011. We believe that those employers that approach health care costs as a business problem and not a human resource problem are able to dramatically lower their health care costs using WhiteGlove.

Under WhiteGlove’s Corporate Membership Program, employers can enroll their employees and dependents in WhiteGlove’s MPC and MCC Services at a discounted price to our retail membership rates to break the trend of increasing health care costs while improving their employees’ productivity.

We help self-insured employers break their health care cost trend because we:

 

   

cap their medical services and prescription medication costs that are within the scope of our services;

 

   

do not file insurance claims for any of our visits or the generic prescription medications that we prescribe;

 

   

eliminate between 68% to 75% of the expensive urgent care and emergency room use for primary care by their employees;

 

   

reduce the number of times employees are absent from work for medical matters (whether for themselves or family members); and

 

   

reduce the likelihood of large unexpected medical expense claims expense incurred by the employer.

This translates into significant savings for both self-insured employers and their employees and dependents.

For years now, employers have worked with benefits brokers to try to lower their health care costs and ultimately break the cost trend. The two most common strategies have been: (1) plan re-designs that shift the cost to their employees, and (2) lower health care utilization by administering wellness programs. Based upon the double digit increases absorbed by employers and their employees over the last 5 years, these strategies appear to be failing. What has been missing is a higher quality, lower cost medical delivery system that will improve the health care experience, and ultimately, break the cost trend for employers and employees. WhiteGlove brings an innovative approach to employers to finally break their health care cost trend and begin to lower overall health care spending for employers, and their employees and dependents. We turn an unpredictable, variable cost for employers into a predictable, affordable, fixed cost for the scope of services we provide. For the employees and their dependents, we offer a per visit fee that is fixed at $35. Beyond the cost savings, 99% of the time, our member satisfaction surveys communicate to us that their employees and dependents enjoy an excellent health care experience.

To illustrate the impact WhiteGlove’s Corporate Membership Program can have on an employer’s cost trend, we gather the employer’s last 12 months of health insurance claims history and quantify the estimated amount of its potential savings and the timeframe required to break the trend of their increasing healthcare costs.

In summary, WhiteGlove’s Corporate Membership Program delivers the following benefits to employers:

LOGO

Membership Service Packaging and Pricing Financial Impact

WhiteGlove offers two distinct Membership Services: Mobile Primary Care, and Mobile Chronic Care, consisting of Mobile Diabetes Management, Mobile Thyroid Management, Mobile Blood Pressure Management, and Mobile Cholesterol Management.

Our published pricing for our Membership Services are:

 

   

Mobile Primary Care Membership Service. $420 per year per person for consumers and $300 per year per person for employers.

 

   

Mobile Chronic Care Membership Service. $420 per year per person for one chronic disease, $600 per year per person for two chronic diseases, and $780 per year per person for three or more chronic diseases, for both consumers and employers.

By way of example, if a consumer wants to use WhiteGlove for his or her primary care needs and the management of his or her blood pressure, then his or her annual membership fees would be $420 for primary care and $420 for blood pressure management, for a total of $840 per year. For all Membership Services whether paid for by individuals or employers, we deliver medical care to the member and the member pays a fixed $35 fee per visit. We provide certain generic prescription medications at no extra charge. For all consumer and employer members, we do not file claims with insurance company payers for our visits or the generic prescription medications prescribed.

WhiteGlove makes certain assumptions that its fixed cost approach to health care does not attract consumers that over utilize our service. The WhiteGlove business model assumes consumer members of Mobile Primary Care use our service three times or fewer each year, employer members of Mobile Primary Care use our service three times or fewer each year, and insurance payer members of Mobile Primary Care use our service two times or fewer each year. For Mobile Chronic Care, our business model assumes that our members are seen (between in-person visits with NPs and phlebotomists) 2.33 times or less per year. Part of the reason why we are able to deliver a high quality health care experience at such disruptive pricing is because we use an advanced, integrated

technology platform to be more efficient and reduce our reliance on administrative and support staff. According to the Medical Group Management Association’s 200 benchmarks, traditional health care providers have an administrative and support staff to clinical personnel (which is physicians) ratio of 4 or 5 to 1. By contrast, WhiteGlove’s ratio of administrative and support staff to clinical personnel (which is nurse practitioners) is less than 1 to 1.

In 2010, WhiteGlove performed approximately 22,150 visits for members that requested primary care. During that year, only 294 members, or approximately 2.3% of our average membership, used our Mobile Primary Care service more than four times. Rising delivery costs and over utilization by our members are the two factors that have the most significant impact on WhiteGlove’s margins. For that reason, we track both regularly and if over utilization becomes a problem, there are a number of measures that we can take to guard margins—specifically, limiting the number of visits per member per year, charging a surcharge for any member who exceeds a certain number of visits per year, or increasing the membership fees or visit fees.

Financial Impact. The average expenses for an outpatient visit to the Emergency Room for uninsured was $1,203 in 2008, according to the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. If a consumer has no insurance or is on a high deductible plan and has not met his or her deductible, we would conservatively estimate the cost to be $750 for the visit. According to the Kaiser/HRET Survey of Employer Sponsored Health Benefits, 2000-2010, in 2008, the average retail prescription medication cost was $71.69. If a consumer has no insurance or is on a high deductible plan and has not met their deductible, we would conservatively estimate the cost to be $62 for the prescription medications and the over-the-counter medications. This does not include all the time spent by the consumer addressing the consumer’s health care need.

This represents a 96% reduction in cost to both the consumer and the health care system.

Our Strategy

As a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization, our mission is to continue to bring change and innovation to health care in the U.S. to lower health care costs while improving the consumers’ health care experience. To achieve this, our strategy includes:

Remaining Intensely Focused on the Consumer’s Health Care Experience

We provide a refreshing health care experience that eliminates the hassles and inconveniences of running to your doctor, waiting, running to the pharmacy, waiting, and running to the grocery store—when the consumer or the consumer’s child feels their worst. We allow our members to request a visit over the web or by phone; have their medical history filled out in advance on-line; be diagnosed and treated based on the member’s schedule, at home or at work; have foods, beverages, and medications delivered to the member; and have a customer-focused health care experience. We also provide prompt technology-enabled follow-up calls after each member visit.

Accelerating Employer Adoption of WhiteGlove

WhiteGlove has enjoyed tremendous growth by selling directly to employers and enrolling their employees and dependents as WhiteGlove members. WhiteGlove has departed from traditional fee-for-service reimbursement and instead, our primary source of revenue comes from membership fees. Unlike other health care provider systems that are dependent upon reimbursement from a dozen or more insurance companies for their source of revenue, WhiteGlove’s business model is focused on selling memberships to employers, and our goal is to diversify our revenue source across thousands of employers in the years to come. We intend to continue to proactively market and sell to self-insured employers in all markets that WhiteGlove serves.

Expanding Service Availability to New Major Metropolitan Markets

WhiteGlove’s objective is to provide a national service that is available to our members, 365 days a year, in the markets we serve. In 2011, WhiteGlove intends to launch its service in five to seven new metropolitan markets—such as Chicago, IL; Denver, CO; Hartford, CT; Kansas City, MO; Milwaukee, WI; Minneapolis, MN; Nashville, TN; Pittsburgh, PA; Tucson, AZ, and others. In 2012 and beyond, the company intends to continue its expansion into up to ten new markets per year.

 

77

Index to Financial Statements

WhiteGlove’s expansion is based on a thoughtful set of criteria that we believe will drive our ability to be successful in various metropolitan markets. The map below depicts our forecast of the metropolitan markets we intend to expand into over the next two years. In addition, we will continue to expand in an opportunistic way based on case-by-case business opportunities.

Based upon our historical experience, we anticipate that we will expend approximately $700,000 of cash to open each new market. These cash expenditures are likely to occur over a six quarter period, which is the timeframe that we expect for a market to attain cash flow breakeven. These expenditures include the cost of the staffing of the market with business development representatives and nurse practioners, the cost of medical equipment, medical supplies, medications, facilities, vehicle acquisition, technology, furniture and fixtures, travel to and from the market, marketing, professional fees and other costs to operate the market. We currently plan to open between five and seven new markets in 2011 and up to ten markets in 2012.

Continuing to Innovate Using Advanced Technology

One of WhiteGlove’s founding principles has been to leverage technology in unique ways to:

 

   

Improve access and quality of experience. We leverage our technology platform to make scheduling appointments easier, provide our members continuous online access to their medical information, including their medical records, medical history, diagnostic results, visit results, prescription medications, and medical expenses, ensure timely follow-up after member care visits, and implement treatment plans to quality standards.

 

   

Lower the cost of health care. We leverage our technology platform to streamline our operations, which significantly lowers our operating overhead and expenses and reduces errors.

 

   

Erect competitive barriers. Our fully integrated information technology system links together all of the constituents inside and outside our business (from front-office to back-office), which raises the competitive barriers.

Continuing to Look for Ways to Cap and Lower Health Care Costs

Today, health care costs are a variable expense for consumers, employers, and health insurance companies. Consumers are forced to do all of the running around and bear much of the costs, in both time and money—when it is convenient for the medical provider. Consumers generally spend money for the visits, prescription medications, gas, parking, tolls, over-the-counter medications, groceries, and even child care, making health care an unpredictable expense that adds up. For self-insured employers, health care costs are unpredictable, variable, and generally rising at a rate much faster than inflation. Each time an employee or dependent seeks medical care, claims are paid by the employer for the medical services, prescription medications, labs, and more; and for fully-insured and individual plans of health insurance companies, their costs are no different than for the self-insured employers.

WhiteGlove will continue to implement and use enabling technology, such as web and mobile applications, business and clinical intelligence and on demand information, automated workflow and treatment—all in order to deliver the highest value to our members, improve the efficiency of our operations, and ensure effective management and governance. In the end, the company is focused on pursuing operational excellence and standardizing and streamlining end-to-end administrative and clinical processes. We believe our continued development and implementation of technology in our operations, combined with our innovative membership services, will help lower and cap the overall health care costs for consumers and employers in the U.S.

Business Development and Marketing

We spend and expect to continue to spend substantial resources to expand our service into new metropolitan markets. Prior to launching the Membership Services, we plan to launch each new market with a business development team of two people in the first six months. The sales efforts are supported by a variety of marketing activities to activate the new market and surface qualified prospects. The intent is to “pre-sell” memberships and once a critical mass of memberships has been sold in a new market, we then launch our Membership Services and make them available to the newly enrolled members. When a market is launched and WhiteGlove’s Membership Services available, the sales and marketing efforts continue in order to grow the membership base in that market.

As of June 30, 2011, we employed a direct sales force and account management team of 14 employees. Of the 14 employees, nine are sales professionals calling on C-level executives and business owners in self-insured organizations and one is focused on new business opportunities. Because of our desired on-going service relationship with our employer clients, four employees are dedicated to performing account management functions. Specifically, this function works directly with the employers to drive awareness and adoption of WhiteGlove’s Membership Services among its employees and dependents together with fielding any issues or concerns they may have.

WhiteGlove utilizes a multi-pronged marketing strategy to reach and influence its target audiences. The primary objective of our marketing efforts is to build awareness among the business leaders (C-level executives and business owners) of self-insured employers about our company and the value proposition of our Corporate Membership Program and ultimately, generate executive-level leads. Our marketing efforts are generally targeted at specific business leaders with specific self-insured employers in specific markets. These programs include direct marketing, email campaigns, public relations, C-level executive dinners, speaking engagements, radio, social media, telemarketing, and more. Secondarily, WhiteGlove’s marketing initiatives are designed to promote our Membership Services to consumers in specific markets. These programs include: direct marketing, email campaigns, public relations, speaking engagements, radio, social media, telemarketing, on-line advertising, and more.

In addition to our employed sales force, WhiteGlove works with select benefits brokers and consultants (individuals and organizations) to promote or support our sales to employers. These relationships generally take on the form of agreements that compensate the brokers and benefits consultants for providing sales leads that result in sales by WhiteGlove or business they close on our behalf. Our broker relationships include organizations that are both regional and national in nature.

Technology, Development, and Operations

We currently outsource our data center operations to two vendors, one in Austin, TX and one in San Antonio, TX (serving as a backup). They host our web site and our proprietary application (WhiteGlove Online System, or WOS) used by our members, employers, and WhiteGlove personnel. We use commercially available hardware and a combination of proprietary and commercially available software to provide the functionality required to run the business. Access to WOS is via the web, iPads, and iPhones via a high-speed internet connection. WOS is based on a secure distributed application architecture which allows the WOS and our business to easily scale as the demand on the business increases.

Our company is highly reliant on technology and innovation. As such, we devote significant resources to information technology. WhiteGlove has a dedicated team of software developers that release new web-based functionality based on an agile development methodology to ensure new capability is properly designed, built, tested, and rolled out in a timely manner to keep up with the business needs. As of March 31, 2011, our software development activities involve technologists in the U.S. that range from software developers, business analysts, bioinformatics engineers, data center operators, system administrators, and management.

WhiteGlove’s WOS application was developed to:

 

   

Improve access and quality of health care experience;

 

   

Lower the cost of health care; and

 

   

Erect competitive barriers.

Our WOS is used by most WhiteGlove employees, our members, and employers, and provides the following general categories of functionality:

Enrollment/Self-service.

 

   

Web-based member and membership registration;

 

   

Web-based medical history capturing (by age and gender);

 

   

Web-based medical treatment consenting;

According to HealthDay News, electronic medical record systems are being touted as the wave of the future in health care and communication, but only 17% of U.S. doctors have embraced the technology. With WhiteGlove’s unique focus on the development and use of advanced technology to increase information accessibility, improve the consumer’s experience, and lower the cost, we believe this gives us a significant competitive advantage over most other health care delivery systems.

Competition

The health care industry is fragmented and rapidly evolving. Our competitors vary in size, scope and breadth of the products and services they offer. We offer a membership program that provides health care similar to or directly in competition with health care services offered by primary care physicians, retail clinics, concierge services, urgent care clinics and emergency rooms.

We believe that success in the health care industry, particularly in the areas of primary and chronic care, is dependent upon the ability of providers to:

 

   

provide easy access, convenience, and a quality experience to consumers;

 

   

lower the cost of health care by streamlining operations, lowering operating expenses, and reducing errors, and human intervention;

 

   

automate the entire health care lifecycle and integrate the business and care aspects of health care; and

 

   

use technology to facilitate evaluation and diagnosis, treatment, after-care management, and billing and collections.

Our principal competitors include the following:

Primary Care Physicians

Competitors in this category include the numerous primary care physicians available in almost every market. Primary care physicians provide primary and chronic care to consumers on an appointment basis in clinics. Primary care physicians have been the consumer’s traditional choice for primary and chronic care and enjoy greater recognition in the marketplace. In contrast, WhiteGlove is a new company whose service model has not been widely accepted.

Retail Clinics

Competitors in this category include retail clinics such as MinuteClinic, Take Care Health Systems, and RediClinic. Many large discount retail stores, drug stores or supermarkets such as Wal-Mart, Target, and CVS operate retail clinics within their stores, providing a level of convenience for consumers. Like WhiteGlove, these clinics are primarily staffed with NPs and offer consumers an affordable alternative to primary care physicians for medical care.

Concierge Services

Some markets offer concierge services where members pay monthly or annual fees to make primary care physicians available for longer appointments and after-hours care. Some concierge services offer consumers the option of seeing a physician in the consumers’ chosen setting. Physicians participating in concierge services typically charge monthly or annual fees equal to or more than the monthly fees that WhiteGlove charges for a comparable service.

Urgent Care Clinics

Urgent care clinics are alternatives to primary care physicians and hospital emergency rooms. Urgent care clinics usually treat consumers on an unscheduled, walk-in basis and are primarily used for injuries or illnesses that require immediate care, but are not serious enough to warrant an emergency room visit. Visits to urgent care clinics are usually more affordable than an emergency room visit, but more expensive than other health care options such as visiting a physician’s clinic.

 

82

Emergency Rooms.

Emergency rooms provide 24/7 emergency care on an unscheduled basis. Emergency room visits can be very expensive, have long wait times and do not offer treatment for chronic conditions. Nevertheless, emergency rooms are increasingly used as replacements for primary care physicians and other health providers by a significant number of consumers.

Some of our current or potential competitors are larger and have more resources than we do. Many of our competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, and larger marketing budgets, as well as substantially greater financial resources. In addition, these traditional health care providers are more widely accepted and known to consumers, whereas WhiteGlove’s business model and service has yet to gain widespread recognition and acceptance. Furthermore, because of these advantages, existing and potential members might accept any of our competitor’s services, even if they may be inferior to ours. If our current or potential members choose to use any of these competitive offerings, our revenue could decrease and we could be required to make additional expenditures to compete more effectively.

Our Competitive Differentiation

First Mover Position, Within and Across Key Cities

As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately 484,000 individual, employer, and insurance plan members in seven major metropolitan markets (Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; Phoenix, AZ; and San Antonio, TX), with plans to expand across the U.S. The company’s ultimate objective is to provide a national service to its members giving them the same, consistent, affordable, high quality health care experience across all the markets it serves. We intend to continue to capitalize on our first mover advantage by expanding rapidly to other major metropolitan markets with the support of advanced technology that enables very cost effective and rapid expansion into these markets.

Service-Driven Approach

WhiteGlove appreciates that there are many primary care and chronic care choices for the consumer. Specifically, the options are primary care physicians or physician groups, concierge doctors/services, retail clinics, urgent care centers, minor emergency clinics, hospitals, wellness centers, and telemedicine services. We believe WhiteGlove’s Service-Driven approach to health care sets us apart from other health care providers.

WhiteGlove is not a health insurance plan. Health insurance plans: (i) deliver healthcare services to individuals enrolled in the plan through agreements with providers; (ii) have financial incentives for persons enrolled in the plan to use the participating providers and procedures provided for by the plan (e.g. in-network vs. out-of-network); (iii) have deductibles, co-pays, minimum and maximum out-of-pocket expenses; and (iv) assume risk. WhiteGlove has none of these attributes.

Convenient Access

WhiteGlove brings medical care, generic prescription medications, diagnostic tests, and more to its members. While some concierge services will bring medical care to their patients, others simply make themselves available via the phone within a certain period of time. In either case, their service is generally limited to just providing medical care and doesn’t include prescription medications or other incidentals. For all other choices, the consumer has to drive to the health care provider when it works for the provider’s schedule, and then travel around for diagnostic tests, prescription medications, incidentals, etc.

Affordable Fixed Cost

WhiteGlove’s business model is based on affordable fixed cost membership fees and a fixed cost all-inclusive visit fee of $35 (includes most generic prescription medications and other incidentals).

 

83


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

We file no claims against an employer’s or an individual member’s health plan. The combination of fixed fees and no claims lowers and caps the overall cost of health care for employers for the services we provide. For consumers, our visit fees are capped at $35 a visit. Most other health care choices are reimbursed based on a fee-for-service model where they charge the consumer and the health plan for every service performed, making health care costs variable and unpredictable. In addition, the consumer spends money on some combination of gas, parking, tolls, multiple co-pays, child care, and incidentals, only adding to the variable cost. In the case of most concierge services, their annual fee is generally between $1,500-$3,000 per year, which is not affordable for the average consumer. WhiteGlove has a broad scope of care, and we believe we provide approximately 70% of the medical services handled in a typical primary care setting. The most notable differences between the medical services we provide and those typically found in primary care settings are: x-rays; ultrasound; suturing; retinal, pelvic, genital and rectal exams; advanced cardiology evaluations; and treatment of chronic depression, chronic pain, addiction or pregnancy.

Exceptional Experience

WhiteGlove is a Service-Driven Healthcare Organization. Beyond bringing almost everything to our members, on their schedule, we train our team to provide the highest quality health care experience at every member ‘touch point.’ With the exception of concierge services that are intended to make accessing medical care easier and more personalized, the other choices generally make access to health care more challenging and the experience more frustrating, rushed and unpleasant than our health care experience.

Proactive Information

WhiteGlove is very committed to the use of advanced technology to deliver proactive information to its members, employers, and the WhiteGlove personnel. Our technology provides our members and our personnel with web-based access to the member’s medical records, medical history, medical costs, labs, prescriptions medications and more. To our knowledge, none of the other choices provide such easy access to this kind of information.

As Clayton Christensen describes in the Innovator’s Prescription, disruptive innovators have disruptive technology coupled with a disruptive business model to provide more affordable, simpler products or services than the incumbents do. WhiteGlove has done exactly that for health care. The services that we provide represent a high percentage of those provided in a physician’s office, urgent care center, and emergency room for primary and chronic care, but in a simpler way, and at a fraction of the overall cost.

A Brand Synonymous with Service-Driven Healthcare

We believe the WhiteGlove brand embodies our objective to lower the cost of health care while giving our members an exceptional health care experience.

Our Integrated Technology Platform

We believe our proprietary technology platform separates us from the others. It was designed to provide lower cost, more effective, mobile health care using an underlying membership-based business model. We believe the experience of our management team in creating and operating a large-scale, integrated technology platform gives us a significant competitive advantage over our competitors.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is important to our success. We have a registration pending before the United States Patent and Trademark Office for our “WhiteGlove Health” brand. We also rely on other forms of intellectual property rights and measures, including trade secrets, know-how and other

 

84


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

unpatented proprietary processes, and nondisclosure agreements, to maintain and protect proprietary aspects of our products and technologies. We require our employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements in connection with their employment or consulting relationships with us. We also require our employees and consultants to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived during the term of their employment or engagement while using our property or which relate to our business.

Recent Developments

With our continued effort to bring innovation to healthcare to lower the cost of care while improving the healthcare experience, on May 1, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Americare Services, Inc. (“Americare”) to provide our members the opportunity for a phone consultation with a doctor, under certain circumstances, instead of an in-person visit from one of our nurse practitioners. This service will be seamlessly integrated into the WhiteGlove experience. When our member contacts us for medical care, we will determine if a phone consultation is possible and something our member desires or not. If they do, we will schedule the visit with Americare and give them access to the member’s medical history and medical record. Americare will schedule a phone consultation between our member, an Americare nurse and a board certified doctor in the member’s state within three hours of our member’s initial call. After the phone consultation, Americare’s nurse will complete the member’s chart and end the visit. This is one of many ways that WhiteGlove will broaden its scope of care and offer new services to its members.

Health Care Laws and Regulations

Fraud and Abuse Laws

Because of the significant federal funding involved in Medicare and Medicaid, Congress and the states have enacted, and actively enforce, a number of laws whose purpose is to eliminate fraud and abuse in federal health care programs. Our business is subject to compliance with these laws.

Anti-Kickback Laws

In the United States, there are federal and state anti-kickback laws that generally prohibit the payment or receipt of kickbacks, bribes or other remuneration in exchange for the referral of patients or other health-related business. The United States federal health care programs’ Anti-Kickback Statute makes it unlawful for individuals or entities knowingly and willfully to solicit, offer, receive or pay any kickback, bribe or other remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce the purchase, lease or order, or arranging for or recommending purchasing, leasing, or ordering, any good, facility, service, or item for which payment may be made in whole or in part under a federal health care program such as Medicare or Medicaid. The Anti-Kickback Statute covers “any remuneration,” which has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including for example gifts, certain discounts, the furnishing of free supplies, equipment or services, credit arrangements, payments of cash, and waivers of payments. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal health care covered business, the arrangement can be found to violate the statute. Penalties for violations include criminal penalties and civil sanctions such as fines, imprisonment, and possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health care programs. In addition, several courts have permitted kickback cases brought under the Federal False Claims Act to proceed, as discussed in more detail below.

Because the Anti-Kickback Statute is broadly written and encompasses many harmless or efficient arrangements, Congress authorized the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, or OIG, to issue a series of regulations, known as “safe harbors.” For example, there are regulatory safe harbors for payments to bona fide employees,

 

85


Table of Contents

properly reported discounts, payments, and for certain investment interests. Although an arrangement that fits into one or more of these exceptions or safe harbors is immune from prosecution, arrangements that do not fit squarely within an exception or safe harbor do not necessarily violate the statute. The failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit precisely within one or more of the exceptions or safe harbors does not necessarily mean that it is illegal or that prosecution will be pursued. However, conduct and business arrangements that arguably implicate the Anti-Kickback Statute but do not fully satisfy all the elements of an exception or safe harbor may be subject to increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities such as the OIG.

Many states have laws that implicate anti-kickback restrictions similar to the Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these state prohibitions apply regardless of whether federal health care program business is involved such as for self-pay or private pay patients.

Government officials have focused their enforcement efforts on marketing of health care services and products, among other activities, and recently have brought cases against companies, and certain sales, marketing and executive personnel, for allegedly offering unlawful inducements to potential or existing customers in an attempt to procure their business.

Stark Law

The Social Security Act also includes a provision commonly known as the “Stark Law.” The Stark Law prohibits physicians from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to entities with which they or any of their immediate family members have a financial relationship, if these entities provide certain “designated health services” reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid unless an exception applies. The Stark Law also prohibits entities that provide designated health services reimbursable by Medicare and Medicaid from billing the Medicare and Medicaid programs for any items or services that result from a prohibited referral and requires the entities to refund amounts received for items or services provided pursuant to the prohibited referral. “Designated health services” include inpatient and outpatient hospital services, clinical laboratory services and radiology services. Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include denial of payment, civil monetary penalties of up to $15,000 per claim submitted and exclusion from the federal health care programs. The statute also provides for a penalty of up to $100,000 for a circumvention scheme. There are exceptions to the self-referral prohibition for many of the customary financial arrangements between physicians and providers, including employment contracts, leases, and recruitment agreements. Unlike safe harbors under the Anti-kickback Statute with which compliance is voluntary, an arrangement must comply with every requirement of a Stark Law exception or the arrangement is in violation of the Stark Law.

CMS has issued three phases of final regulations implementing the Stark Law. Phases I and II became effective in January 2002 and July 2004, respectively, and Phase III became effective in December 2007. While these regulations help clarify the requirements of the exceptions to the Stark Law, it is unclear how the government will interpret many of these exceptions for enforcement purposes. Because the Stark Law and its implementing regulations are relatively new, we do not always have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation of this law and its regulations. We attempt to structure our relationships to meet an exception to the Stark Law, but the regulations implementing the exceptions are detailed and complex, and we cannot assure that every relationship complies fully with the Stark Law. In addition, in the July 2008 final Stark rule CMS indicated that it will continue to enact further regulations tightening aspects of the Stark Law that it perceives allow for Medicare program abuse. There can be no assurance that the arrangements entered into by us with physicians will be found to be in compliance with the Stark Law, as it ultimately may be implemented or interpreted.

Many states have laws similar to the Stark Law.

Federal Civil False Claims Act and State False Claims Laws

The federal civil False Claims Act imposes liability on any person or entity who, among other things, knowingly and willfully presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal health care program, including Medicare and Medicaid. The “qui tam,” or “whistleblower” provisions of the False Claims Act allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging that the defendant has submitted a false claim to the federal government, and to share in any monetary recovery. In recent years, the number of suits brought against health care providers by private individuals has increased dramatically. Medical service companies, like us, can be held liable under false claims laws, even if they do not submit claims to the government where they are deemed to have caused submission of false claims by, among other things, providing incorrect coding or billing advice about their services to customers that file claims, or by engaging in kickback arrangements with customers that file claims.

The False Claims Act also has been used to assert liability on the basis of misrepresentations with respect to the services rendered and in connection with alleged off-label promotion of products. Our future activities relating to the manner in which we sell our services and document our prices such as the reporting of discount and rebate information and other information affecting federal, state, and third-party reimbursement of our services, and the sale and marketing of our services, may be subject to scrutiny under these laws.

When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties of between $5,500 to $11,000 for each separate false claim. There are many potential bases for liability under the False Claims Act. A number of states have enacted false claim laws analogous to the federal civil False Claims Act and many of these state laws apply where a claim is submitted to any state or private third-party payer. In this environment, our engagement of physician consultants in product development and product training and education could subject us to similar scrutiny. We are unable to predict whether we would be subject to actions under the False Claims Act or a similar state law, or the impact of such actions. However, the costs of defending such claims, as well as any sanctions imposed, could significantly affect our financial performance.

HIPAA Fraud and Other Regulations

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created a class of federal crimes known as the “federal health care offenses,” including health care fraud and false statements relating to health care matters. The HIPAA health care fraud statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme or artifice to defraud any health care benefit program, or to obtain by means of false of fraudulent pretenses, any money under the control of any health care benefit program, including private payers. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment and/or exclusion from government-sponsored programs. The HIPAA false statements statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines and/or imprisonment. Entities that are found to have aided or abetted in a violation of the HIPAA federal health care offenses are deemed by statute to have committed the offense and are punishable as a principal.

HIPAA and Other Privacy Regulations

The regulations that implement HIPAA also establish uniform standards governing the conduct of certain electronic health care transactions and protecting the security and privacy of individually identifiable health information maintained or transmitted by health care providers, health plans, and

 

87


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

health care clearinghouses, which are referred to as “covered entities.” Several regulations have been promulgated under HIPAA’s regulations including: the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, or the Privacy Rule, which restricts the use and disclosure of certain individually identifiable health information, the Standards for Electronic Transactions, or the Transactions Rule, which establishes standards for common health care transactions, such as claims information, plan eligibility, payment information, and the use of electronic signatures, and the Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information, or the Security Rule, which requires covered entities to implement and maintain certain security measures to safeguard certain electronic health information. Although we do not believe we are a covered entity and therefore are not currently directly subject to these standards, we expect that our customers generally will be covered entities and may ask us to contractually comply with certain aspects of these standards by entering into requisite business associate agreements. While the government intended this legislation to reduce administrative expenses and burdens for the health care industry, our compliance with certain provisions of these standards entails significant costs for us.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or the HITECH Act, which was enacted in February 2009, strengthens and expands the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and the restrictions on use and disclosure of patient identifiable health information. HITECH also fundamentally changed a business associate’s obligations by imposing a number of Privacy Rule requirements and a majority of Security Rule provisions directly on business associates that were previously only directly applicable to covered entities. HITECH includes, but is not limited to, prohibitions on exchanging patient identifiable health information for remuneration, restrictions on marketing to individuals, and obligations to agree to provide individuals an accounting of virtually all disclosures of their health information. Moreover, HITECH requires covered entities to report any unauthorized use or disclosure of patient identifiable health information, known as a breach, to the affected individuals, the United States Department of Health, and Human Services, or HHS, and depending on the size of any such breach, the media for the affected market. Business associate are similarly required to notify covered entities of a breach. Most of the HITECH provisions will become effective in February 2010 and it is expected that the HHS will issue regulations to clarify many of the new provisions. HHS has already issued regulations governing breach notification which were effective in September 2009.

HITECH has increased civil penalty amounts for violations of HIPAA by either covered entities or business associates up to an annual maximum of $1.5 million for uncorrected violations based on willful neglect. Imposition of these penalties is more likely now because HITECH significantly strengthens enforcement. It requires HHS to conduct periodic audits to confirm compliance beginning in February 2010 and to investigate any violation that involves willful neglect which carries mandatory penalties beginning in February 2011. Additionally, state attorneys general are authorized to bring civil actions seeking either injunctions or damages in response to violations of HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules that threaten the privacy of state residents.

In addition to federal regulations issued under HIPAA, some states have enacted privacy and security statutes or regulations that, in some cases, are more stringent than those issued under HIPAA. In those cases, it may be necessary to modify our planned operations and procedures to comply with the more stringent state laws. If we fail to comply with applicable state laws and regulations, we could be subject to additional sanctions.

Federal and state consumer protection laws are being applied increasingly by the United States Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and states’ attorneys general to regulate the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal or patient information, through websites or otherwise, and to regulate the presentation of web site content. Courts may also adopt the standards for fair information practices promulgated by the FTC, which concern consumer notice, choice, security, and access.

Numerous other countries have or are developing laws governing the collection, use, disclosure, and transmission of personal or patient information.

HIPAA as well as other federal and state laws apply to WhiteGlove Health’s receipt of patient identifiable health information in connection with providing health care. We collaborate with other individuals and entities in conducting research and all involved parties must comply with applicable laws. Therefore, the compliance of the doctors, NPs or other providers or entities with whom we collaborate also impacts our business.

Corporate Practice of Medicine/Fee Splitting

Some of the states in which we operate have laws prohibiting unlicensed persons or business entities, including corporations, from employing physicians, practicing medicine for a profit and making certain direct and indirect payments or fee-splitting arrangements between health care providers designed to induce or encourage the referral of patients to, or the recommendation of, particular providers for medical products and services. Possible sanctions for violation of these restrictions include loss of license and civil and criminal penalties. In addition, agreements between the corporation and the physician may be considered void and unenforceable. These statutes vary from state to state, are often vague and have seldom been interpreted by the courts or regulatory agencies. Although we exercise care to structure our arrangements with health care providers to comply with the relevant state law, and believe these arrangements comply with applicable laws in all material respects, we cannot assure you that governmental officials responsible for enforcing these laws will not assert that we, or transactions in which we are involved, are in violation of such laws, or that such laws ultimately will be interpreted by the courts in a manner consistent with our interpretations.

Prescriptive Authority, Scope of Practice and Physician Supervision of Mid-Level Practitioners

Some of the states in which we operate have laws which restrict where and how a physician can delegate prescriptive authority to mid-level practitioners, including NPs. Some of the states in which we operate also have laws which govern physician supervision of NPs. Possible sanctions for violation of these restrictions include loss of license and monetary penalties. These statutes vary from state to state. Although we exercise care to structure our arrangements with physicians and NPs to comply with the relevant state law, and believe these arrangements comply with applicable laws in all material respects, we cannot assure you that governmental officials responsible for enforcing these laws will not assert that we, or transactions in which we are involved, are in violation of such laws, or that such laws ultimately will be interpreted by the courts in a manner consistent with our interpretations.

Employees

As of June 30, 2011, we had 92 employees, including 44 in clinical service delivery, ten in membership support, 16 in business development and marketing, 14 in general and administrative, and eight in information technology and development. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or party to a collective bargaining agreement.

Medical Oversight and Supervision

We currently have contractual agreements with six physicians to provide medical supervision and oversight to our nurse practitioners in states where the law so requires, currently Massachusetts and Texas. Of the states in which we plan to launch operations by 2012, all of the states, with the exception of Colorado, will require medical oversight of our NPs. The nature and extent of medical oversight and supervision is described in state statutes and varies from state to state. Medical

oversight and supervision typically includes, without limitation, the following services: (i) performing medical chart review and reporting any medical quality or potential health concerns; (ii) providing medical input into policy and procedure development and reviewing new protocols for all medical care; (iii) providing clinical direction, including required supervision and delegation; and (iv) assuring availability of physician services for oversight and supervision of clinical matters.

Facilities

Our principal executive offices are located in Austin, TX, where we lease approximately 9,520 square feet of office space under an operating agreement that expires on November 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, we also use office space in San Antonio, TX; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; Boston, MA; and Phoenix, AZ, pursuant to operating agreements.

We believe that our current facilities are sufficient to meet our current needs, but we will lease additional space in new markets as we enter those markets.

Litigation

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations. We are not currently involved in any material litigation.

Board Composition

Upon the completion of this offering, we will have an authorized Board of Directors consisting of nine members. In accordance with the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective upon completion of this offering, the Board of Directors will be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II, and Class III, with each class serving staggered three-year terms. Upon the completion of this offering, the members of the classes will be divided as follows:

 

   

the Class I directors will be Lawrence H. Garatoni, Malcom T. Kostuchenko, and Mark Sherman, and their term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2012;

 

   

the Class II directors will be Edward C. Ateyeh, William Rice, M.D., and James G. Treybig, and their term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2013; and

 

   

the Class III directors will be Robert A. Fabbio, Gary A. Mecklenburg, and Leslie V. Norwalk and their term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will become effective upon the completion of this offering provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed between the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of the Board of Directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management.

Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our voting stock.

Board Committees and Independence

Sections 801(h) and 802(a) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide requires 50% of the board of directors of a smaller reporting company to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the NYSE Amex Company Guide requires that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent, and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under Section 803A of the NYSE Amex Company Guide, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the Board of Directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our Board of Directors undertook a review of the composition of our Board of Directors and its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that none of Edward, C. Ateyeh, Gary A. Mecklenburg, Leslie V. Norwalk, Mark Sherman and James G. Treybig representing five of our nine directors, has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under Section 803A of the NYSE Amex Company Guide. In addition, depending upon the ownership of an affiliate of Lawrence H. Garatoni, the Board may determine that he is an independent director under Section 803A of the NYSE Amex Company Guide. In making such determination, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances the Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

The Board of Directors held four meetings in 2010.

The Board of Directors does not currently have a process for security holders to send communications to the Board. The Board intends to implement such a process as soon as practicable.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Edward, C. Ateyeh, Gary A. Mecklenburg, and James G. Treybig. The functions of the audit committee include:

preparing the audit committee report for inclusion in our proxy statement for our annual meeting.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Edward C. Ateyeh qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and the NYSE Amex listing standards. In making this determination, our Board of Directors considered the nature and scope of experience that Mr. Ateyeh previously had with reporting companies. Our Board of Directors has determined that all current members satisfy the independence requirements for service on the audit committee. Both our independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of James G. Treybig and Lawrence H. Garatoni, to the extent he is determined to be independent after this offering. The functions of the compensation committee include:

 

   

determining the compensation and other terms of employment of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and reviewing and approving our performance goals and objectives relevant to such compensation;

 

   

administering and implementing our incentive compensations plans and equity-based plans, including approving option grants, restricted stock and other awards;

 

   

reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to incentive compensation and other stock-based plans;

 

   

reviewing and approving the terms of any employment-related agreements, severance arrangements, change-in-control and similar agreements/provision, and any amendments, supplements or waivers to the foregoing agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers;

 

   

reviewing and discussing the Compensation Discussion & Analysis required in our annual report and proxy statement with management and determining whether to recommend to our Board of Directors the inclusion of the Compensation Discussion & Analysis in the annual report or proxy; and

Each member of our compensation committee is a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Furthermore, our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Treybig and Garatoni, subject to final review at the time of closing of this offering, each satisfy the independence standards for compensation committees established by the SEC and the NYSE Amex listing standards, as applicable.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Gary A. Mecklenburg, Leslie V. Norwalk, and Mark Sherman. The functions of the nominating and corporate governance committee include:

 

   

evaluating director performance on the Board of Directors and applicable committees of the Board of Directors;

 

   

interviewing, evaluating, nominating and recommending individuals for membership on our Board of Directors;

 

   

adopting a policy regarding consideration of director candidates or stockholder proposals recommended by our stockholders;

 

   

developing and recommending to our Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles applicable to WhiteGlove;

 

   

evaluating the performance of the CEO and reporting results to the compensation committee.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Mecklenburg and Sherman and Ms. Norwalk each satisfy the independence standards for nominating and corporate governance committees established by the SEC and the NYSE Amex listing standards, as applicable.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all of our employees, officers (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions), agents and representatives, including directors and consultants. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the full text of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be posted on our website at www.whiteglove.com. We intend to disclose any future amendments to certain provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or waivers of such provisions, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our website identified above. The inclusion of our website address in this prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this prospectus.

Benefit Plans

2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan

Our 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, or, as amended, the Existing Plan, was adopted by our board of directors effective July 31, 2007 and approved by our shareholders and amended and restated on May 29, 2008, March 13, 2009, April 21, 2009 and November 3, 2010. Our 2007 Stock Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory and incentive stock options and stock awards to our employees, directors and consultants. As of June 30, 2011, options to purchase 1,707,750 shares of common stock were outstanding and 204,504 shares were available for future grant under this plan. In June of 2011, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Existing Plan was increased to 2,367,250.

We will not grant any additional awards under our 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan following this offering. Instead, we will grant options under our 2011 Plan. However, our 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of all outstanding options previously granted under the 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

On April 26, 2011, the Board of Directors of the company adopted the WhiteGlove Health, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2011 Plan, which was approved by our shareholders in May 2011. The 2011 Plan is a broad-based incentive plan that provides for granting stock options, stock awards, performance awards, and other stock-based or performance-based awards to employees, service providers and non-employee directors.

The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan is 350,000 shares, plus (1) any shares of common stock that, as of this offering, have been reserved but not issued pursuant to any awards granted under the Existing Plan and are not subject to any awards granted thereunder, and (2) any shares of common stock subject to stock options or similar awards granted under the Existing Plan that expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full and shares of common stock issued pursuant to awards granted under the Existing Plan that are forfeited to or repurchased by the company, with the maximum number of shares of common stock to be added to the 2011 Plan pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) equal to approximately 2,367,250 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired common stock. The maximum number of shares reserved under the 2011 Plan will automatically increase on January 1st of each calendar year during the term of the 2011 Plan, commencing on January 1, 2012, by an amount, or the Annual Increase Amount, equal to the lesser of:

 

   

five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the immediately preceding fiscal year;

 

   

1,000,000 shares; or

 

   

such other amount that is lower that the Board, in its sole discretion (but without any obligation), may determine.

In addition, our 2011 Plan provides for the automatic grant of restricted stock awards to our non-employee independent directors designated by the board of directors as such. Beginning in fiscal year 2012, non-employee independent directors will, on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders of the company, automatically receive a number of shares of restricted common stock determined by dividing (A) $40,000 by (B) the fair market value of the company’s common stock on that date. The company’s right of repurchase with respect to the restricted stock awarded under our automatic grant provision will lapse in equal monthly installments for twelve months following the date of grant, provided that the recipient continues to serve as a director through such dates.

The 2011 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors, or at the election of the Board of Directors, a committee composed of one or more persons designated by the Board of Directors of the company, in which case the Board will maintain concurrent authority with respect to administration of the 2011 Plan except in the case of awards to “covered employees” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Board of Directors and, if applicable, its designated committee, will have the full authority, subject to the terms of the 2011 Plan, to establish rules and regulations for the proper administration of the 2011 Plan, to promulgate forms of award agreements, to select the employees (other than in the case of awards to “covered employees” whose awards shall be administered only by the Committee), service providers and directors to whom awards are granted, and to determine the type of awards made and the terms of the awards.

Limitations on Directors’ Liability and Indemnification Agreements

As permitted by Delaware law, we have adopted provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, both of which will become effective upon the completion of this offering, that limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to the fullest

 

101


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

 

   

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

   

any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

   

any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payments of dividends; or

 

   

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

These limitations of liability do not limit or eliminate our rights or any stockholder’s rights to seek non-monetary relief, such as injunctive relief or rescission. These provisions will not alter a director’s liability under federal securities laws. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will become effective upon the completion of this offering also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

As permitted by Delaware law, our amended and restated bylaws which will be effective upon completion of this offering, also provide that:

 

   

we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law;

 

   

we may advance expenses to our directors, officers, employees and other agents in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law; and

 

   

the rights provided in our bylaws are not exclusive.

Our bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in connection with their services to us, regardless of whether our bylaws permit such indemnification. We have obtained such insurance.

In addition to the indemnification provided for in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, which may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his service as one of our directors or executive officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or executive officers to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options or warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 30, 2011. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

The following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2008 to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeds $37,630, and in which any of our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, including their immediate family members had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the employment agreements, which are described elsewhere.

Loan Financings

On April 22, 2009, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Accent Texas Fund II, L.P. and Enhanced Capital Texas Fund II, LLC, pursuant to which we issued promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $750,000, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 197,164 shares of our Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $2.1961 per share. Enhanced Capital Texas Fund II, LLC was issued a promissory note with a principal amount of $200,000, a second promissory note with a principal amount of $175,000, a warrant to purchase 65,722 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, and a second warrant to purchase 32,861 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock. The notes bear interest at the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum rate allowed under applicable law. In March 2010, we repaid the $750,000 in principal outstanding on the notes plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon. The warrants issued to both funds are still outstanding and will terminate on the earlier of (1) the closing of a change in control or (2) 360 days following a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of the company’s common stock pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the SEC. Enhanced Capital Texas Fund II, LLC is an affiliate of Andrew M. Paul, who is the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our voting securities.

In March of 2011, the company had issued shares of its Series D Preferred Stock to investors at a price of $4.3169 per share, establishing such price.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Outstanding Shares

Upon completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of 35,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of June 30, 2011, we had 459,996 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 10,107,990 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding that are convertible into 10,107,990 shares of common stock. We have approximately 58 stockholders, assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into shares of our common stock. In addition, as of June 30, 2011, options to purchase 1,707,750 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 197,164 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

The number of shares of our capital stock outstanding after this offering and the description of our capital stock herein assumes:

 

   

the conversion of all 10,107,990 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding on June 30, 2011 into an aggregate of 10,107,990 shares of common stock, assuming an initial public offering price of $11.00 per share; and

 

   

the filing and effectiveness of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Common Stock

Dividends

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds.

Voting Rights

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our stockholders will not have cumulative voting rights. Because of this, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose.

Liquidation

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Rights and Preferences

Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate in the future.

Fully Paid and Nonassessable

All of our outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to this offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

Upon the closing of this offering, the Board of Directors will have the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of WhiteGlove Health, Inc. and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.

Registration Rights

Demand Registration Rights

Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, at any time beginning six months after the consummation of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the holders of at least 65% of the registrable shares of our common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of preferred stock, can request that we file up to two registration statements registering all or a portion of their registrable shares. As of March 31, 2011, the holders of approximately 10,107,990 shares of our common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of preferred stock have demand registration rights. Under specified circumstances, we also have the right to defer filing of a requested registration statement for a period of not more than 120 days, which right may not be exercised more than once during any period of 12 consecutive months. These registration rights are subject to additional conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares included in any such registration under certain circumstances.

Form S-3 Registration Rights

Pursuant to the Rights’ Agreement, if we are eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, the holders of at least 10% of the registrable shares of common stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock have the right to demand that we file additional registration statements, including a shelf registration statement, for such holders on Form S-3.

Piggyback Registration Rights

Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, whenever we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, other than with respect to a registration related to employee benefit plans, corporate reorganizations, or a registration on any form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in this registration statement, the holders of registrable shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock are entitled to notice of the registration and have the right to include their registrable shares in such registration. As of March 31, 2011, the holders of approximately 10,107,990 shares of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to notice of the registration and will be entitled to include their shares of common stock in the registration statement. The underwriter of any underwritten offering will have the right to limit the number of shares having registration rights to be included in the registration statement.

Expenses of Registration

We are required to pay all expenses relating to any demand, Form S-3, or piggyback registration, other than underwriting discounts and commissions.

Other Stockholder Rights

Our Third Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement dated March 2, 2011 provides certain rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, and drag-along rights to certain of our stockholders. In addition, our Third Amended and Restated Voting Agreement dated March 2, 2011 obligates certain of our stockholders regarding the voting of their shares in elections of our directors and provides certain observer rights and rights of indemnification. The company anticipates that the rights contained in such agreements will be waived, and such agreements amended, pursuant to a Waiver and Omnibus Amendment, such that they will terminate upon the completion of this offering.

Our third Amended and Restated Investor’s Rights Agreements dated March 2, 2011 provides certain registration and preemptive rights to our investors. The Company anticipates that the preemptive rights contained in such agreement will be waived pursuant to a Waiver and Omnibus Amendment.

The Company anticipates that the Buy-Sell Agreement dated June 13, 2007 between the Company, Robert Fabbio and Dr. William Rice, M.D., regarding certain transfers or proposed transfers of the Company’s capital stock will be terminated.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Certain Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Delaware Law

We are governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales or other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years, did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that will become effective upon the completion of this offering will:

 

   

provide for a staggered Board of Directors;

 

   

permit our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in our control;

 

   

provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board of Directors;

 

   

provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;

 

   

require that any action to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and not be taken by written consent;

 

   

provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide

 

111


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
 

notice in writing in a timely manner, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;

 

   

do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose);

 

   

provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairperson of the Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer or President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or by the Board of Directors; and

 

   

provide that stockholders will be permitted to amend our bylaws only upon receiving at least sixty-six and two thirds percent of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

These and other provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay or discourage some types of transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current prices, and may limit the ability of stockholders to remove current management or approve transactions that stockholders may deem to be in their best interests and, therefore, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Capital Market Listing

We have applied to the NYSE Amex to quote our common stock under the trading symbol WGH. If for any reason we are unable to meet the listing requirements of the NYSE Amex, the company and the underwriters will not proceed with this offering.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock is expected to be American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC. The transfer agent’s address is Operations Center, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Market sales of shares or the availability of shares for sale may decrease the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a portion of our and the selling stockholders’ outstanding shares of common stock will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions to resale. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market after these restrictions lapse, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

Future sales of our common stock and the availability of our common stock for sale may depress the market price for our common stock. Upon completion of this offering, 13,067,986 shares of common stock will be outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and no exercise of options or warrants and full conversion of all outstanding preferred stock. All of the shares sold in this offering by us will be freely tradable. Except as set forth below, the remaining shares of common stock outstanding after this offering will be restricted as a result of securities laws or lock-up agreements. These remaining shares will be available for sale in the public market roughly as follows:

   At various times beginning more than 180 days after the date of this prospectus

In addition, 679,896 shares of common stock will be eligible for sale upon exercise of vested options 180 days following the date of this prospectus, subject to extension as described in “Plan of Distribution.”

Rule 144

Rule 144 provides that non-affiliates that have held restricted securities of a reporting company for at least six months and have not had an affiliate relationship with us during the preceding three months may sell their securities without restriction or limitation, other than that Rule 144’s public information requirements must be satisfied during the six months following satisfaction of the six-month holding period requirement. In general, Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements for at least 90 days, permits affiliates that have held restricted securities for at least six months to sell such restricted securities in accordance with the traditional conditions of Rule 144, including the current public information requirement, the volume limitations, manner of sale provisions and notice requirements. In particular, an affiliate who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

   

1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 128,375 shares immediately after this offering; or

 

   

the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the NYSE Amex during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Rule 701

Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our common stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our

 

113


Table of Contents

company during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701.

As of June 30, 2011, 454,996 shares of our outstanding common stock had been issued in reliance on Rule 701 as a result of exercises of stock options and stock awards.

Lock-Up Agreements

Upon completion of this offering, we and each of our officers, directors and stockholders and option holders will have agreed, subject to specified exceptions, that they will not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract to sell, transfer the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale, pledge or otherwise dispose of any shares of our capital stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to purchase or acquire our capital stock for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus. WR Hambrecht + Co may, in its sole discretion, permit early release of almost all of our shares which are subject to lock-up agreements with WR Hambrecht + Co.

This agreement is subject to certain exceptions and is also subject to extension as set forth under “Plan of Distribution.”

Registration Rights

Upon completion of this offering, the holders of approximately 10,107,990 shares of our common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of preferred stock, or their transferees, will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares purchased by affiliates, immediately upon the effectiveness of this registration. See “Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights.”

Stock Options

Immediately after this offering, we intend to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our stock option plans. The registration statement is expected to be filed and become effective as soon as practicable after the closing of this offering. Accordingly, shares registered under the registration statement will, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to affiliates and the lock-up agreements described above, be available for sale in the open market.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS

The following is a summary of the material United States federal income and estate tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock purchased pursuant to this offering by a holder that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is not a “United States person,” as we define that term below. A beneficial owner of shares of our common stock who is not a United States person is referred to below as a “non-United States holder.” This summary is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial opinions, administrative pronouncements and published rulings of the United States Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, all as in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, resulting in United States federal tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made in the following summary, and there can be no complete assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to such statements or that any such contrary position taken by the IRS would not be sustained.

This summary is limited to non-United States holders who purchase shares of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering and who hold our common stock as a capital asset (generally property held for investment) for United States federal income tax purposes. This summary does not purport to be complete and does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any state, local or non-United States jurisdiction, or under United States federal estate or gift tax laws, except as specifically described below. In addition, this summary does not address tax considerations that may be applicable to an investor’s particular circumstances nor does it address the special tax rules applicable to special classes of non-United States holders, including, without limitation:

 

   

banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

 

   

partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes;

 

   

holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

United States expatriates;

 

   

tax-exempt organizations;

 

   

tax-qualified retirement plans;

 

   

brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;

 

   

real estate investment trusts;

 

   

regulated investment companies;

 

   

mutual funds;

 

   

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; or

 

   

persons that will hold common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion,” or other integrated transaction for tax purposes.

If a partnership, including any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, is a holder of shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of shares of our common stock that is a partnership, and partners in such partnership, are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock.

 

115


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

For purposes of this discussion, a United States person means a person who is for United States federal income tax purposes:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation, including any entity taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state within the United States, or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust (1) if it is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

An individual is treated as a resident of the United States in any calendar year for United States federal income tax purposes if the individual is present in the United States for at least 31 days in that calendar year and for an aggregate of at least 183 days during the three-year period ending on the last day of the current calendar year. For purposes of the 183-day calculation, all of the days present in the current year, one-third of the days present in the immediately preceding year and one-sixth of the days present in the second preceding year are counted. Residents are taxed for United States federal income tax purposes as if they were United States citizens.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the United States federal income tax laws to your particular situation as well as any tax consequences arising under the United States federal estate or gift tax rules or under the laws of any state, local, non-United States or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

Distributions on Shares of Our Common Stock

If distributions are paid on shares of our common stock, the distributions will constitute dividends for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. To the extent a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will constitute a return of capital that is applied against and reduces, but not below zero, the adjusted tax basis of your shares in our common stock. Any remainder will be treated as gain from the sale of shares of our common stock. Dividends paid to a non-United States holder generally will be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at the rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, the benefits of which a non-United States holder is eligible. However, if the dividend is effectively connected with the non-United States holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States and, where an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such non-United States holder, the dividend will not be subject to any withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are met, as described below, but will be subject to United States federal income tax imposed on net income on the same basis that applies to United States persons generally. A corporate non-United States holder under certain circumstances also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30%, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, the benefits of which a non-United States holder is eligible, on a portion of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year. Non-United States holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential applicability of any income tax treaty.

To claim the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty or to claim exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, a non-United States holder must provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN for treaty

 

116


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

benefits or W-8ECI for effectively connected income, or such successor forms as the IRS designates, and certify under penalties of perjury that such holder is not a United States person prior to the payment of distributions on our common stock. These forms must be periodically updated. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-United States holders that are pass-through entities and non-United States holders whose stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries. Non-United States holders may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim with the IRS.

Gain on Disposition

A non-United States holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax, including by way of withholding, on gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock unless any one of the following is true:

 

   

the gain is effectively connected with the non-United States holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States and, where an applicable income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such non-United States holder;

 

   

the non-United States holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

 

   

our common stock constitutes a United States real property interest by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation,” or USRPHC, for United States federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of (1) the period during which you hold our common stock and (2) the five-year period ending on the date you dispose of our common stock.

We believe that we are not currently, and will not become, a USRPHC for United States federal income tax purposes. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our United States real property interests relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, we cannot assure you that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. As a general matter, as long as our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, however, it will not be treated as a United States real property interest with respect to any non-United States holder that holds no more than 5% of such regularly traded common stock. If we are determined to be a USRPHC and the foregoing exception does not apply, among other things, a purchaser may be required to withhold 10% of the proceeds payable to a non-United States holder from a disposition of shares of our common stock, and the non-United States holder generally will be taxed on its net gain derived from the disposition at the graduated United States federal income tax rates applicable to United States persons.

Unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to the United States federal income tax imposed on net income on the same basis that applies to United States persons generally but will generally not be subject to withholding. Corporate holders also may be subject to a branch profits tax on such gain. Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to a flat 30% United States federal income tax, which may be offset by certain United States source capital losses. Non-United States holders are urged to consult any potentially applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Recent Tax Legislation

On March 18, 2010, the President signed into law the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010, the “HIRE Act”. The HIRE Act imposes a United States withholding tax at a 30% rate on certain distributions and proceeds of sale with respect to shares of our common stock received by

United States persons who own shares of our common stock through foreign accounts or foreign intermediaries and certain non-United States holders if certain disclosure requirements related to United States accounts or ownership are not satisfied. If payment of withholding taxes is required, non-United States holders that are otherwise eligible for an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding taxes with respect to such distributions and proceeds will be required to seek a refund from the IRS to obtain the benefit of such exemption or reduction. We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of any amounts withheld. These new withholding rules are generally effective for payments made after December 31, 2012.

United States Federal Estate Taxes

Shares of our common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who at the time of death is a non-United States holder are considered United States situs assets and will be included in the individual’s estate for United States federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting and backup withholding (currently at a 28% rate of tax) generally will apply to dividends paid with respect to our common stock. In certain circumstances, non-United States holders may avoid information reporting and backup withholding if they provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN for treaty benefits or W-8ECI for effectively connected income, or such successor forms as the IRS designates, and certify under penalties of perjury as to their status as non-United States holders or otherwise establish an exemption and certain other requirements are met. Copies of information returns may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-United States holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Non-United States holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.

The gross proceeds from the disposition of shares of our common stock may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding. If a non-United States holder sells shares of our common stock outside the United States through a non-United States office of a non-United States broker and the sales proceeds are paid to such holder outside the United States, then the United States backup withholding and information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment. However, United States information reporting will generally apply to a payment of sale proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if a non-United States holder sells shares of our common stock through a non-United States office of a broker that:

 

   

is a United States person for United States federal tax purposes;

 

   

is a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its gross income in specific periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

 

   

is a “controlled foreign corporation” for United States tax purposes; or

 

   

is a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year (1) one or more of its partners are United States persons who in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interests in the partnership; or (2) the foreign partnership is engaged in a United States trade or business,

unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the non-United States holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met, or the non-United States holder otherwise establishes an exemption. In such circumstances, backup withholding will not apply unless the broker has actual knowledge or reason to know that the non-United States holder is not a non-United States person.

If a non-United States holder receives payments of the proceeds of a sale of shares of our common stock to or through a United States office of a broker, the payment is subject to both backup withholding and information reporting unless such non-United States holder properly provides IRS Form W-8BEN (or valid substitute or successor form) certifying under penalties of perjury that such stockholder is not a United States person or otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-United States holder can be refunded or credited against the non-United States holder’s United States federal income tax liability, if any, provided that an appropriate claim is timely filed with the IRS.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

In accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement among WR Hambrecht + Co (as representative) and us, WR Hambrecht + Co, Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, and Kaufman Bros., L.P., as underwriters, have agreed to use their best efforts to procure potential purchasers for the shares of common stock offered hereby.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters are subject to various conditions, principally the declaration of effectiveness by the SEC of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the effectiveness, the listing of our shares on the NYSE Amex, the absence of any material adverse change in our business, and the receipt of certificates, opinions and letters from us and counsel. The underwriters are not purchasing or selling any of the shares being sold pursuant to this prospectus other than shares which they may elect to purchase in the overallotment, and they are not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of shares.

Underwriting Discounts and Concessions

The underwriters propose to procure potential purchasers to purchase shares of our common stock at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, as this price is determined by the OpenIPO process described below, and to certain dealers at this price less a concession not in excess of $0.825 per share. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed $0.825 per share on sales to other dealers. The underwriters as well as any dealers that participate in the distribution of our common stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discount, commission or concession received by them and any provided by the sale of the shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts under the Securities Act.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discount (rounded to the nearest cent for the purposes of this table) to be paid to the underwriters by us in connection with this offering. The underwriting discount has been determined through negotiations between us and the underwriters, and has been calculated as a percentage of the offering price.

Initial public offering price

   $ 11.00     

Underwriting discount

   $ 0.825   

Proceeds, before expenses, to us

We estimate that the costs of this offering, exclusive of the underwriting discount, will be approximately $1,075,000. These fees and expenses are payable entirely by WhiteGlove Health, Inc. WhiteGlove Health, Inc. has also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for a portion of their expenses in connection with this offering. An electronic prospectus is available on the website maintained by WR Hambrecht + Co and may also be made available on websites maintained by Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, Kaufman Bros., L.P., selected dealers and selling group members participating in this offering.

The OpenIPO Auction Process

The distribution method being used in this offering is known as the OpenIPO auction, which differs from methods traditionally used in public offerings. In particular, as described under the captions “—Determination of Initial Public Offering Price” and “—Allocation of Shares” below, the public offering price and the allocation of shares are determined by an auction conducted by the underwriters and other factors as described below. All qualified individual and institutional investors may place bids in an OpenIPO auction and investors submitting valid bids have an equal opportunity to receive an allocation of shares.

Potential purchasers will be required to open a brokerage account with one of the underwriters and deposit money into such account in order to bid in the auction process. Funds will be maintained in such customer’s separate account, will not be escrowed, and no money will be debited from such account until trade settlement. Potential purchasers may cancel or modify their bids at any time prior to the closing of the auction.

The following describes how the underwriters and some selected dealers conduct the auction process and, on our behalf, confirm bids from prospective investors:

Prior to Effectiveness of the Registration Statement

Before the registration statement relating to this offering becomes effective, but after a preliminary prospectus is available, the auction will open and the underwriters and participating dealers will solicit bids from prospective investors through the Internet and by telephone and facsimile. The bids specify the number of shares of our common stock the potential investor proposes to purchase and the price the potential investor is willing to pay for the shares. These bids may be above or below the range set forth on the cover page of the prospectus. The minimum size of any bid is 100 shares. Bidders may submit multiple bids in the auction.

The shares offered by this prospectus may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time that the registration statement filed with the SEC becomes effective. A bid received by the underwriters or a participating dealer involves no obligation or commitment of any kind prior to the notice of acceptance being sent, which will occur after effectiveness of the registration statement and closing of the auction. Bids can be modified at any time prior to the closing of the auction.

Potential investors may contact the underwriters or dealers through which they submitted their bid to discuss general auction trends or consult on bidding strategy. The current clearing price is at all times kept confidential and will not be disclosed during the OpenIPO auction to any bidder; however, the underwriters or participating dealers may discuss general auction trends with potential investors. General auction trends may include a general description of the bidding trends or the anticipated timing of the offering. In all cases, any oral information provided with respect to general auction trends by any underwriter or any dealer is subject to change. Any general auction trend information that is provided orally by an underwriter or participating dealer is necessarily accurate only as of the time of inquiry and may change significantly prior to the auction closing. Therefore, bidders should not assume that any particular bid will receive an allocation of shares in the auction based on any auction trend information provided to them orally by any underwriter or any participating dealer.

Approximately two business days prior to the registration statement being declared effective, prospective investors will receive, by email, telephone or facsimile, a notice indicating the proposed effective date. Potential investors may at any time expressly request that all, or any specific, communications between them and the underwriters and participating dealers be made by specific means of communication, including email, telephone and facsimile. The underwriters and participating dealers will contact the potential investors in the manner they request.

Effectiveness of the Registration Statement

After the registration statement relating to this offering has become effective, potential investors who have submitted bids to the underwriters or participating dealers will be contacted by email, telephone or facsimile. Potential investors will be advised that the registration statement has been declared effective and that the auction may close in as little as one hour following effectiveness. Bids will continue to be accepted in the time period after the registration statement is declared effective but before the auction closes. Bidders may also withdraw their bids in the time period following effectiveness, including after the closing of the auction but before the notice of acceptance of their bid is sent.

Reconfirmation of Bids

The underwriters will require that bidders reconfirm the bids that they have submitted in this offering if any of the following events occur:

 

   

more than 15 business days have elapsed since the bidder submitted its bid in this offering; or

 

   

there is a material change in the prospectus that requires that the underwriters and we convey the material change to bidders in the offering and file an amended registration statement.

If a reconfirmation of bids is required, the underwriters and participating brokers will send an electronic notice (or communicate in an alternative manner as requested by a bidder) to everyone who has submitted a bid notifying them that they must reconfirm their bids by contacting the underwriters or participating dealers with which they have their brokerage accounts. Bidders will have a minimum of four hours to reconfirm their bids from the time they receive the notice requesting reconfirmation. Bidders will have the ability to modify or reconfirm their bids at any time until the auction closes. If bidders do not reconfirm these bids before the auction is closed (which will be no sooner than four hours after the request for reconfirmation is sent), we and the underwriters will disregard their bids in the auction, and they will be deemed to have been withdrawn. If appropriate, the underwriters may include the request for reconfirmation in a notice of effectiveness of the registration statement.

Changes in the Price Range or Offering Size Before the Auction is Closed

Based on the auction demand, we and the underwriters may elect to change the price range or the number of shares being sold in the offering either before or after the SEC declares the registration statement effective. If we and the underwriters elect to change the price range or the offering size after effectiveness of the registration statement, the underwriters will keep the auction open for at least one hour after notifying bidders of the new auction terms. If the change in price range or offering size is not otherwise material to this offering, we and the underwriters or participating dealers will:

 

   

provide notice on the WR Hambrecht + Co website of the revised price range or number of shares to be sold in this offering, as the case may be;

 

   

if appropriate, issue a press release announcing the revised price range or number of shares to be sold in this offering, as the case may be; and

 

   

send an electronic notice (or communicate in an alternative manner as requested by a bidder) to everyone who has submitted a bid notifying them of the revised price range or number of shares to be sold in this offering, as the case may be.

We note that in these situations, there could be a change to the price range or offering size that is not deemed to be material and the underwriters could accept an investor’s bid after the SEC declares the registration statement effective without requiring a bidder to reconfirm. However, the underwriters may also decide at any time to require potential investors to reconfirm their bids, and if they fail to do so, their unconfirmed bids will be invalid.

In the event that the changes to the price range or the offering size constitute material changes, alone or in the aggregate, to the previously provided disclosure, we will reconfirm all bids that have been submitted in the auction after notifying bidders of the new auction terms. In the event that there is a material change to the price range or the offering size after effectiveness of the registration statement, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement containing the new auction terms prior to accepting any offers and will reconfirm all bids prior to closing the auction. We will generally not consider any increase or decrease in the price range or offering size to be material unless there is a decrease in the price below the stated price range for the auction or an increase that represents more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price of the shares.

Changes in the Price Range or Offering Size After the Auction is Closed and Pricing Outside the Price Range

If we determine after the auction is closed that the initial public offering price will be above or below the stated price range in the auction but that it will not result in any material change to the previously provided disclosure, the underwriters and participating dealers may accept all successful bids without reconfirmation. Similarly, if after effectiveness of the registration statement and the auction is closed the number of shares sold in the offering is increased or decreased in a manner that is not otherwise material to this offering, the underwriters and participating dealers may accept all successful bids without reconfirmation. In this situation the underwriters and participating dealers will communicate the final price and size of the offering in the notice of acceptance that is sent to successful bidders.

If we determine, after the auction is closed, that the initial public offering price will be outside of the price range or we elect to change the size of the offering, and the public offering price and/or change in the offering size, alone or in the aggregate, constitute material changes to the previously provided disclosure, then we may convey the final price and offering size to all bidders in the auction, file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement with the final price and offering size, reconfirm all bids and accept offers after the post-effective amendment has been declared effective by the SEC. In the alternative, we may re-open the auction pursuant to the following procedures:

 

   

WR Hambrecht + Co will provide notice on the WR Hambrecht + Co OpenIPO website that the auction has re-opened with a revised price range or offering size, as the case may be;

 

   

we and the underwriters and participating dealers will issue a press release announcing the new auction terms;

 

   

the underwriters and participating dealers will send an electronic notice (or communicate in an alternative manner as requested by a bidder) to everyone who has submitted a bid notifying them that the auction has re-opened with a revised price range or offering size, as the case may be;

 

   

the underwriters and participating dealers will reconfirm all bids in the auction; and

 

   

we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement containing the new auction terms and have the post-effective amendment declared effective prior to the acceptance of any offers by the underwriters or participating dealers.

We will generally not consider any increase or decrease in the initial public offering price or offering size to be material unless such increase or decrease represents more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price of the shares.

Closing of the Auction and Pricing

The auction will close and a public offering price will be determined after the registration statement becomes effective at a time agreed to by the underwriters, which we anticipate will be after the close of trading on the NYSE Amex on the same day on which the registration statement is declared effective. The auction may close in as little as one hour following effectiveness of the registration statement. However, the date and time at which the auction will close and a public offering price will be determined cannot currently be predicted and will be determined by us and the underwriters based on general market conditions during the period after the registration statement is declared effective. If we are unable to close the auction, determine a public offering price and file a final prospectus with the SEC within 15 days after the registration statement is initially declared effective, we will be required to file with the SEC and have declared effective a post effective amendment to the registration statement before the auction may be closed and before any bids may be accepted.

Once a potential investor submits a bid, the bid remains valid unless subsequently withdrawn by the potential investor. Potential investors are able to withdraw their bids at any time before the

 

123

notice of acceptance is sent by notifying the underwriter or a participating dealer through which they submitted their bids. The auction website will not permit modification or cancellation of bids after the auction closes. Therefore, if a potential investor that bid through the Internet wishes to cancel a bid after the auction closes, the investor may have to contact the underwriter through which they submitted their bid (or the participating dealer through which the investor submitted the bid) by telephone, facsimile or email (or as specified by the underwriter or participating dealer through which the bidder submitted the bid).

Following the closing of the auction, the underwriters determine the highest price at which all of the shares offered may be sold to potential investors. This price, which is called the “clearing price,” is determined based on the results of all valid bids at the time the auction is closed. The clearing price is not necessarily the public offering price, which is set as described in “Determination of Initial Public Offering Price” below. The public offering price determines the allocation of shares to potential investors, with all valid bids submitted at or above the public offering price receiving a pro rata portion of the shares bid for.

You will have the ability to withdraw your bid at any time until the notice of acceptance is sent. The underwriters will notify successful bidders that we have accepted their bids by sending a notice of acceptance after the auction closes and a public offering price has been determined, and bidders who submitted successful bids will be obligated to purchase the shares allocated to them regardless of (1) whether such bidders are aware that the registration statement has been declared effective and that the auction has closed or (2) whether they are aware that the notice of acceptance of that bid has been sent. The underwriters will not cancel or reject a valid bid after the notices of acceptance have been sent.

Once the auction closes and a clearing price is set as described below, an underwriter or a participating dealer accepts on our behalf the bids that are at or above the public offering price, but may allocate to a prospective investor fewer shares than the number included in the investors bid, as described in “—Allocation of Shares” below.

Determination of Initial Public Offering Price

The public offering price for this offering is ultimately determined by negotiation between the underwriters and us after the auction closes and does not necessarily bear any direct relationship to our assets, current earnings or book value or to any other established criteria of value, although these factors are considered in establishing the initial public offering price. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The principal factor in establishing the public offering price is the clearing price resulting from the auction, although other factors are considered as described below. The clearing price is used by the underwriters and us as the principal benchmark, among other considerations described below, in determining the public offering price for the stock that will be sold in this offering.

The clearing price is the highest price at which all of the shares offered may be sold to potential investors, based on the valid bids at the time the auction is closed. Based on the auction results, we may elect to change the number of shares sold in the offering. Depending on the public offering price and the amount of the increase or decrease, an increase or decrease in the number of shares to be sold in the offering could affect the clearing price and result in either more or less dilution to potential investors in this offering.

Depending on the outcome of negotiations between the underwriters and us, the public offering price may be lower, but will not be higher, than the clearing price. The bids received in the auction and the resulting clearing price are the principal factors used to determine the public offering price of the stock that will be sold in this offering. The public offering price may be lower than the clearing price depending on a number of additional factors, including general market trends or

conditions, the underwriters’ assessment of our management, operating results, capital structure and business potential and the demand and price of similar securities of comparable companies. The underwriters and we may also agree to a public offering price that is lower than the clearing price in order to facilitate a wider distribution of the stock to be sold in this offering. For example, the underwriters and we may elect to lower the public offering price to include certain institutional or retail bidders in this offering. The underwriters and we may also lower the public offering price to create a more stable post-offering trading price for our shares.

The public offering price always determines the allocation of shares to potential investors. Therefore, if the public offering price is below the clearing price, all valid bids that are at or above the public offering price receive a pro rata portion of the shares bid for. If sufficient bids are not received, or if we do not consider the clearing price to be adequate, or if the underwriters and we are not able to reach agreement on the public offering price, then the underwriters and we will either postpone or cancel this offering. Alternatively, we may file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement in order to conduct a new auction.

The following simplified example illustrates how the public offering price is determined through the auction process:

Company X offers to sell 1,500 shares in its public offering through the auction process. The underwriters, on behalf of Company X, receive five bids to purchase, all of which are kept confidential until the auction closes.

The first bid is to pay $10.00 per share for 1,000 shares. The second bid is to pay $9.00 per share for 100 shares. The third bid is to pay $8.00 per share for 900 shares. The fourth bid is to pay $7.00 per share for 400 shares. The fifth bid is to pay $6.00 per share for 800 shares.

Assuming that none of these bids are withdrawn or modified before the auction closes, and assuming that no additional bids are received, the clearing price used to determine the public offering price would be $8.00 per share, which is the highest price at which all 1,500 shares offered may be sold to potential investors who have submitted valid bids. However, the shares may be sold at a price below $8.00 per share based on negotiations between Company X and the underwriters.

If the public offering price is the same as the $8.00 per share clearing price, the underwriters would accept bids on behalf of Company X at or above $8.00 per share. Because 2,000 shares were bid for at or above the clearing price, each of the three potential investors who bid $8.00 per share or more would receive approximately 75% (1,500 divided by 2,000) of the shares for which bids were made. The two potential investors whose bids were below $8.00 per share would not receive any shares in this example.

If the public offering price is $7.00 per share, the underwriters would accept bids on behalf of Company X that were made at or above $7.00 per share. No bids made at a price of less than $7.00 per share would be accepted. The four potential investors with the highest bids would receive a pro rata portion of the 1,500 shares offered, based on the 2,400 shares they requested, or 62.5% (1,500 divided by 2,400) of the shares for which bids were made. The potential investor with the lowest bid would not receive any shares in this example.

As described in “—Allocation of Shares” below, because bids that are reduced on a pro rata basis may be rounded down to round lots, a potential investor may be allocated less than the pro rata percentage of the shares bid for. Thus, if the pro rata percentage was 75%, the potential investor who bids for 200 shares may receive a pro rata allocation of 100 shares (50% of the shares bid for), rather than receiving a pro rata allocation of 150 shares (75% of the shares bid for).

The following table illustrates the example described above, after rounding down any bids to the nearest round lot in accordance with the allocation rules described below and assuming that the initial public offering price is set at $8.00 per share. The table also assumes that these bids are the final bids, and that they reflect any modifications that have been made to reflect any prior changes to the offering range, and to avoid the issuance of fractional shares.

Allocation of Shares

Bidders receiving a pro rata portion of the shares they bid for generally receive an allocation of shares on a round-lot basis, rounded to multiples of 100 or 1,000 shares, depending on the size of the bid. No bids are rounded to a round lot higher than the original bid size. Because bids may be rounded down to round lots in multiples of 100 or 1,000 shares, some bidders may receive allocations of shares that reflect a greater percentage decrease in their original bid than the average pro rata decrease. Thus, for example, if a bidder has submitted a bid for 200 shares, and there is an average pro rata decrease of all bids of 30%, the bidder may receive an allocation of 100 shares (a 50% decrease from 200 shares) rather than receiving an allocation of 140 shares (a 30% decrease from 200 shares). In addition, some bidders may receive allocations of shares that reflect a lesser percentage decrease in their original bid than the average pro rata decrease. For example, if a bidder has submitted a bid for 100 shares, and there is an average pro rata decrease of all bids of 30%, the bidder may receive an allocation of all 100 shares to avoid having the bid rounded down to zero.

Generally the allocation of shares in this offering will be determined in the following manner, continuing the first example above:

 

   

Any bid with a price below the public offering price is allocated no shares.

 

   

The pro rata percentage is determined by dividing the number of shares offered by the total number of shares bid at or above the public offering price. In our example, if there are 2,000 shares bid for at or above the public offering price, and 1,500 shares offered in the offering, then the pro rata percentage is 75%.

 

   

All of the successful bids are then multiplied by the pro rata percentage to determine the allocations before rounding. For example, the three winning bids for 1,000 shares (Bid 1), 100 shares (Bid 2) and 900 shares (Bid 3) would initially be allocated 750 shares, 75 shares and 675 shares, respectively, based on the pro rata percentage.

 

   

The bids are then rounded down to the nearest 100 share round lot, so the bids would be rounded to 700, 0 and 600 shares respectively. This creates a stub of 200 unallocated shares.

 

   

The 200 stub shares are then allocated to the bids. Continuing the example above, because Bid 2 for 100 shares was rounded down to 0 shares, 100 of the stub shares

 

126


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements
 

would be allocated to Bid 2. If there were not sufficient stub shares to allocate at least 100 shares to Bid 2, Bid 2 would not receive any shares in the offering. After allocation of these shares, 100 unallocated stub shares would remain.

 

   

Because Bid 3 for 900 shares was reduced, as a result of rounding, by more total shares than Bid 1 for 1,000 shares, Bid 3 would then be allocated the remaining 100 stub shares up to the nearest 100 round lot (from 600 shares to 700 shares).

If there are not sufficient remaining stub shares to enable a bid to be rounded up to a round lot of 100 shares the remaining unallocated stub shares would be allocated to smaller orders that are below their bid amounts. The table below illustrates the allocations in the example above.

Requirements for Valid Bids

In order to participate in an OpenIPO offering, all bidders must have an account with an underwriter or one of the participating dealers. Rodman & Renshaw, LLC and Kaufman Bros., L.P. will host a link to the WR Hambrecht + Co OpenIPO website on their websites, and WR Hambrecht + Co will provide the other underwriter with user IDs and passwords to provide to its customers so that its customers may participate in the auction. Valid bids are those that meet the requirements, including eligibility, account status and size, established by the underwriters or participating dealers. In order to open a brokerage account with WR Hambrecht + Co, a potential investor must deposit $2,000 in their accounts. This brokerage account will be a general account subject to WR Hambrecht + Co’s customary rules, and will not be limited to this offering. Bidders will be required to have sufficient funds in their account to pay for the shares they are allocated in the auction at the closing of this offering, which is generally on the third business day following the pricing of this offering. The underwriters reserve the right, in their sole discretion and on our behalf, to reject or reduce any bids that they deem manipulative or disruptive or not creditworthy in order to facilitate the orderly completion of this offering. For example, in previous transactions for other issuers in which the auction process was used, WR Hambrecht + Co has rejected or reduced bids when, in its sole discretion, it deems the bids not creditworthy or had reason to question the bidder’s intent or means to fund its bid. In the absence of other information, we and an underwriter or participating dealer may assess a bidder’s creditworthiness based solely on the bidder’s history with such underwriter or participating dealer. WR Hambrecht + Co has also rejected or reduced bids in past OpenIPO offerings that it deemed, in its sole discretion, to be potentially manipulative or disruptive or because the bidder had a history of alleged securities law violations. Suitability and eligibility standards of participating dealers may vary. As a result of these varying requirements, a bidder may have its bid rejected by an underwriter or a participating dealer while another bidder’s identical bid is accepted.

The Closing of the Auction and Allocation of Shares

The auction will close on a date and at a time estimated and publicly disclosed in advance by the underwriters on the website of WR Hambrecht + Co at www.wrhambrecht.com and www.openipo.com. The auction may close in as little as one hour following effectiveness of the registration statement. The 2,500,000 shares offered by this prospectus will be sold to investors who have submitted valid bids at or higher than the public offering price through the underwriters or participating dealers.

An underwriter or a participating dealer will notify successful bidders that we have accepted their bid by sending a notice of acceptance by email, telephone, facsimile or mail (according to any preference indicated by a bidder) informing bidders that the auction has closed and that their bids have been accepted. The notice will indicate the price and number of shares that have been allocated to the successful bidder. Other bidders will be notified that their bids have not been accepted.

Each participating dealer has agreed with the underwriters to conduct its solicitation efforts in accordance with the auction process described above, unless the underwriters otherwise consent. The underwriters do not intend to consent to the sale of any shares in this offering outside of the auction process. The underwriters reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to reject or reduce any bids that they deem manipulative or disruptive in order to facilitate the orderly completion of this offering, and they reserve the right, in exceptional circumstances, to alter this method of allocation as they deem necessary to ensure a fair and orderly distribution of the shares of our common stock. For example, large orders may be reduced to ensure a public distribution and bids may be rejected or reduced based on eligibility or creditworthiness criteria. Once the underwriters have closed the auction and we have accepted a bid, the allocation of shares sold in this offering will be made according to the process described in “—Allocation of Shares” above, and no shares sold in this offering will be allocated on a preferential basis or outside of the allocation rules to any institutional or retail bidders. In addition, the underwriters or the participating dealers may reject or reduce a bid by a prospective investor who has engaged in practices that could have a manipulative, disruptive or otherwise adverse effect on this offering.

Investors who receive notice of acceptance of their bids must make payment for the applicable number of shares by the close of business on the third business day (the “closing date”) following notice of acceptance of their bids. We will have the option to cancel any bids that are not funded by the close of business on the closing date without any obligation to the bidder and may reallocate the unpaid for shares to other successful bidders on a case by case basis or determine not to issue all or any portion of the unpaid for shares.

The underwriters and dealers participating in the selling group may submit firm bids that reflect indications of interest from their customers that they have received at prices within the initial public offering price range. Some participating dealers or the underwriters may also manage bids on behalf of their bidding customers. In these cases, the dealer submitting the bid is treated as the bidder for the purposes of determining the clearing price and allocation of shares.

Price and volume volatility in the market for our common stock may result from the somewhat unique nature of the proposed plan of distribution. Price and volume volatility in the market for our common stock after the completion of this offering may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

These restrictions will remain in effect beyond the 180-day period under the same circumstances described in the immediately preceding paragraph.

WR Hambrecht + Co may, in its discretion, permit early release of the shares subject to lock-up agreements with WR Hambrecht + Co. There are no specific criteria that WR Hambrecht + Co requires for an early release of shares subject to lock-up agreements. The release of any lock-up will be on a case-by-case basis. Factors in deciding whether to release shares may include the length of time before the lock-up expires, the number of shares involved, the reason for release, including financial hardship, market conditions and the trading price of the common stock. WR Hambrecht + Co does not have any present intention or understanding, implicit or explicit, to release any of the shares subject to the lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the 180-day period.

For the purposes of this provision, and your representation below, the expression of an “offer to the public” in relation to any shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase any shares, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

Each person in a Relevant Member State who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any shares under, the offer of shares of our common stock contemplated by this prospectus will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to and with us and the underwriter that:

(A) it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive; and

(B) in the case of any shares acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, (i) the shares acquired by it in the offering have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than “qualified investors” (as defined in the Prospectus Directive), or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where shares have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of those shares to it is not treated under the Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

WhiteGlove Health, Inc.

Austin, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WhiteGlove Health, Inc. (formerly known as WhiteGlove House Call Health, Inc.) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Nature of Operations

WhiteGlove Health, Inc. (the “Company”) (formerly known as WhiteGlove House Call Health, Inc.), based in Austin, Texas, was formed as a Texas corporation on April 24, 2007. The Company is a membership–based medical care provider where members pay an all-inclusive, fixed visit fee. Memberships are available to individuals and employers in seven major metropolitan markets (Austin, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; Dallas, Texas; Fort Worth, Texas; Houston, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and San Antonio, Texas). However, during 2010, 2009, and 2008, our memberships were primarily in Texas.

NOTE 2: FUTURE OPERATIONS

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 million, working capital of $3.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $11.5 million. Additionally, the Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses for at least the next few years. Successful transition to profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure and plans for expansion. In the meantime, management believes that it will be able to obtain additional funding through debt or equity offerings with new and/or existing investors. In the event that these sources of funds are not available to or sufficient for the Company, management would adjust the current level of operations and cash expenditures. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As described in Note 13, the Company received $2.5 million in February 2011 and $10.0 million in March 2011 through debt and equity offerings.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

On October 22, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with WhiteGlove-MA, P.C. (“WG-MA PC”) to provide medical services to certain of the Company’s members. In exchange for such services, the Company agreed to provide all business, management and administrative services for WG-MA PC and to reimburse WG-MA PC on a monthly basis an amount equal to WG-MA PC’s direct expenses associated with providing the medical services. As a result, and the fact the WG-MA PC’s continuing viability is heavily dependent on the Company, the Company determined that WG-MA PC is a variable interest entity and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. Therefore, WG-MA PC has been consolidated into the Company’s results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among the more significant estimates are those that relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, treatment supplies reserves, warrants and stock-based compensation. These accounting estimates reflect the best judgment of management. The Company reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

facts and circumstances may result in revisions to these estimates. Actual results could significantly differ from management’s estimates and judgments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash invested in interest-bearing deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

The Company is paid for its services primarily by health insurance companies, employers and private individuals. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. The provision for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded primarily by applying the historical collection rates to each customer group. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level management believes is sufficient to cover potential losses.

Treatment Supplies

Treatment supplies, which are comprised of medications and medical supplies included in Company’s treatment services, are stated at the lower of actual cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Reserves on treatment supplies are recorded to reduce treatment supplies for obsolete or slow moving supplies. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had did not have any reserves on treatment supplies.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Costs for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. However, expenditures for additions that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

The Company periodically evaluates the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to property and equipment. The estimated useful life for computer and office equipment, computer software and medical equipment is three years, five years for furniture and fixtures and seven years for vehicles.

Property and equipment are assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be fully recoverable by comparing the carrying value to total future undiscounted cash flows. Impairment is recorded for long-lived assets equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its estimated fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses related to long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes tax benefits or expenses on the temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company is required to adjust its deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period in which tax rates or the provisions of the income tax laws change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount for which recovery is deemed more likely than not.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard related to the recognition in the consolidated financial statements for uncertainty in tax positions. Under these provisions, the Company may 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 tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s tax positions, management believes the Company has no uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and has recorded no related interest or penalties as a result. The Company anticipates that there will be no changes to the unrecognized tax positions for the next twelve months.

Stock-Based Compensation

As of December 31, 2010 the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company measures stock options at fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model for determining fair value. Compensation expense for graded vested awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical experience. The Company presents excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as cash flows from financing activities.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common stock issued and outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the period plus amounts representing the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, restricted stock and convertible preferred stock, as applicable. The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the Company will use proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants to repurchase shares of common stock to hold in its treasury stock.

Revenue Recognition

Membership fee revenue represents membership fees paid by or on behalf of substantially all of the Company’s members. The Company accounts for membership fee revenue on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the membership period, which ranges from six months to one year.

Health insurance company members: In November 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Aetna, under which the Company recognizes revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Aetna’s full risk health insurance plans within the Company’s Texas service areas and adjusted based on their members’ utilization of our services. In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Humana, under which the Company recognizes revenue based on a predetermined monthly membership fee (capitation rate) for each member of Humana’s full risk health insurance plans within the Company’s Texas service areas. Under the Company’s arrangements with Aetna and Humana, the number of health insurance company members covered under the applicable plans is adjusted monthly; the monthly membership fee (capitation rate) is reviewed quarterly and may remain at the same level or be adjusted up or down

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

for future periods depending on the number of services provided in the prior quarterly time period. The Company invoices the health insurance companies monthly for the amounts applicable to that month and payment is due from the health insurance companies within 30 days. In 2010, less than 2% of the Company’s consolidated net revenues were generated under capitated arrangements.

Membership fees for individuals covered under an insurance policy of a health insurance company with whom we have a non-capitated contractual relationship are billed at the time the member enrolls in our Mobile Primary Care (“MPC”) service. Currently we have contractual provider relationships with Aetna Humana and UnitedHealthcare to provide MPC services within our Texas service areas. The membership fee varies depending on the duration of the membership which ranges from six months to one year. For those members covered by a health insurance plan with a co-pay, the membership fee is billed to and paid by the health insurance company, as part of their normal payment system. For those members covered by a High Deductible Health Plan, if the member’s deductible has not been met then the membership fee is billed to and paid by the individual member, via credit or debit card; if the member’s deductible has been met then the membership fee is billed to and paid by the health insurance company as part of their normal payment system. Membership fees reimbursed by health insurance companies are recorded as revenues net of allowances.

Employer members: Employers can participate in our services by signing a contract with us through our Corporate Membership Program. Contracts with employers are one year in duration. Membership fees for individuals employed by those employers (and their dependants) and enrolled in either our MPC service, our Mobile Chronic Care (“MCC”) services, or both are billed to the employer at the beginning of each month and are due either immediately (and paid via credit or debit card) or due within 15 days (and paid via check or electronic funds transfer) depending upon the contractual arrangement with the employer.

Individual members: Individuals and their families can participate in our services by enrolling in either our MPC service, our MCC services, or both through our website or by calling our Membership Support department and agreeing to our terms and conditions. Our service agreements with individuals are one year in duration. Membership fees for individuals and their families enrolled in one of our services are billed to that individual or family upon enrollment on a semi-annual basis and paid via credit or debit card at the beginning of the month following enrollment. Membership fees for individuals and their families who enrolled prior to 2011 are billed to that individual or family monthly at the beginning of each month and paid via credit or debit card.

The Company’s deferred revenue as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 primarily consisted of billings for membership fees that were reimbursed by health insurance companies. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, membership fee revenue was approximately 79.9%, 76.0% and 75.5%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net revenues.

The Company recognizes revenue for treatment services rendered upon completion of the service visit. Members (whether enrolled through a health insurance company, an employer member or directly as an individual consumer member) are responsible for payment of treatment services fees, which are billed directly to the member and paid via credit, debit, a flexible spending account or health savings account card upon completion of the visit. Less than 2% of billings for treatment services are reimbursed by health insurance companies and are recorded as revenues net of allowances. Adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts from the health insurance companies, are recorded upon settlement.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily consists of salaries, benefits and other personnel costs related to clinical service personnel as well as transportation costs other costs directly related to providing services to our members.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized advertising costs of $706,000, $417,000 and $308,000, respectively.

Software Developed for Internal Use

The Company expenses the costs incurred during the application development stage, which includes costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation and testing. The Company determined that technological feasibility was reached shortly before the release date of its applications and as a result, application development costs incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility and before the release of the applications was not material, and accordingly, were expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stages along with post implementation stages of internal use software were also expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements or changes in existing accounting pronouncements may have a significant effect on the results of operations, the financial condition, or the net worth of the Company’s business operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures to require new disclosures related to transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and additional disclosure requirements related to Level 3 measurements. The guidance also clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The additional disclosure requirements are effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the additional disclosure requirements related to Level 3 measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted these provisions effective January 1, 2010, and these provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In February 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidelines on accounting for subsequent events. The amendment clarifies that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued, but that SEC filers are not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The amendment was effective upon issuance and did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4: SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s cash is deposited in cash at a large depository institution. Deposits of cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits; however, the Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits.

Approximately 53.6%, 44.0% and 17.1% of the Company’s consolidated net revenues in the years ending December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were generated by revenues recognized from three health insurance companies. Approximately 79.7% and 87.8% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, represent receivables due from health insurance companies.

Promissory Notes

In 2009, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with two investors for aggregate borrowings of $750,000 (“2009 Promissory Notes”). The 2009 Promissory Notes accrued interest at a rate of 12% per year and were secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Interest payments were due monthly with all unpaid principal and interest due on dates ranging from April 2011 through June 2011. In connection with the sale of the 2009 Promissory Notes, the Company granted warrants to purchase 197,164 shares of Series B-1 preferred stock. The Company recorded the 2009 Promissory Notes net of discount for the estimated fair value of the warrants totaling $338,000. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes valuation model (Note 9). The discount related to the warrants was amortized as additional interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized additional interest expense of $235,000 and $103,000, respectively, related to the amortization of the discount. The 2009 Promissory Notes were repaid in March 2010.

In March 2010, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with an investor for borrowings of $1.0 million (“2010 Promissory Note”). The 2010 Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per year and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Interest payments are due monthly with all unpaid principal and interest due in March 2012 or immediately upon a change of control, completion of an initial public offering or the sale, lease, license or disposition of certain of the secured assets.

Capital Lease

In November 2009, the Company entered into a capital lease arrangement with a vendor for computer equipment. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, $11,000 and $21,000, respectively, in principal payments remained payable on the capital lease.

NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10.0 million. The net operating losses will expire at various dates beginning in 2027 if not utilized. The income tax benefit related to these net operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $1.8 million, $1.2 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.

The Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset due to uncertainties regarding the realization of the deferred tax asset based on the Company’s lack of earnings history. The valuation allowance increased by $1.8 million, $1.2 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Utilization of the net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credit carryforwards before utilization.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred taxes were as follows:

The Company’s provision for income taxes differs from the expected tax benefit amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to loss before income taxes due primarily to the application of the valuation allowance. As a result, the Company did not recognize any current or deferred federal or state income tax provision (benefit) during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The following table presents the breakdown of the Company’s effective tax rate among federal, state and other:

NOTE 9: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 13,111,596 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 8,614,346 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock, of which (i) 3,325,000 shares designated as series A convertible preferred stock, (ii) 873,852 shares designated as Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, (iii) 1,964,213 shares designated as Series B-1 convertible preferred stock and (iv) 2,451,281 shares designated as Series C convertible preferred stock.

In February 2008, the Company converted 3,000,000 shares of common stock into 2,216,667 shares of Series A preferred stock and issued an additional 1,108,333 shares of Series A preferred stock for $289,000 in cash, net of offering costs. In May 2008, the Company authorized a stock-split whereby each share of Series A preferred stock was converted into 3.6944 shares of Series A preferred stock for a total number of Series A preferred stock outstanding of 3,325,000 shares. The number of shares of Series A preferred stock disclosed above and in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity reflects this stock split.

During 2009, the Company issued 4,752 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock in exchange for $3,000 in cash; 1,746,648 shares of Series B-1 preferred stock in exchange for $3,671,000 in cash, net of offering costs; and 20,400 shares of Series B-1 preferred stock in exchange for $45,000 of rental payments due under one of the Company’s operating lease agreements. During 2010, the Company issued 2,288,908 shares of Series C preferred stock in exchange for $7,354,000 in cash, net of offering costs.

The preferred stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared, by the Company’s Board of Directors. No dividends can be declared or paid to holders of the common stock unless a proportionate dividend is declared or paid to the holders of the preferred stock. The rights to

receive dividends is not cumulative and do not accrue. Any declared but unpaid dividends must be paid upon conversion, in either cash or shares of common stock based on the fair value of the commons stock on the date of the conversion.

Voting

Each preferred stockholder is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of preferred stock could be converted as of the record date.

Liquidation

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the common stock and to the holders of any equity securities ranking junior to the preferred stock with respect to the liquidation, an amount equal to the following per share, plus any declared but unpaid dividends.

Conversion

Any holder of preferred stock may convert all or any portion of their shares into a number of shares of common stock computed by multiplying the number of shares of preferred stock to be converted by the original issue price divided by the conversion price then in effect. At December 31, 2010, the conversion price of the preferred stock and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion was as follows:

 

     Conversion Price      Shares of
Common Stock
Issuable
 

Series A preferred stock

   $ 0.27         3,325,000   

Series A-1 preferred stock

     2.00         873,852   

Series B-1 preferred stock

     2.20         1,767,048   

Series C preferred stock

     3.26         2,288,908   
           
        8,254,808   
           

The conversion price is adjustable downward if the Company issues certain common stock or similar instruments that allow for the purchase of such stock at a price lower than the then-current conversion price of the preferred stock. All of the outstanding shares of preferred stock will be converted into common stock at the conversion price then in effect upon the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the closing of a qualified public offering, as defined, or (ii) the election of a majority of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Redemption

The Series C preferred stock are redeemable on or after February 5, 2017 upon notice from at least 50% of the then outstanding Series C preferred stockholders. The redemption price is equal to the greater of the original issue price plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares or the fair market value of the Series C preferred stock as of the redemption date. At December 31, 2010, the redemption value of the Series C preferred stock was $7,470,000.

Warrants

In connection with the 2009 Promissory Notes, the Company granted warrants to purchase 197,164 shares of Series B-1 preferred stock. The warrants are exercisable anytime at the option of the warrant holder at an exercise price of $2.20. The fair value of the warrants, totaling $338,000, was allocated to a discount on the debt based on the relative fair value of the 2009 Promissory Notes and the warrants (Note 7). The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Expected volatility

   72.0%

Expected dividend yield

   0%

Expected term

   10 years

Risk free rate

   3.2%

NOTE 10: SHARE BASED PAYMENT

Stock Options

In 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (“the Plan”) under which employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company may be granted incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Options are generally granted to employees at 100% of the fair value at the date of the grant. The fair value, rate of exercisability, and expiration dates of the options granted are determined by the Board at the time of grant. The maximum term of options granted under the Plan is ten years from the date of grant. Options generally vest ratably over a period of time of typically not more than four years. The Company also has the right of first refusal for any proposed disposition of shares under the Plan. A maximum of 1,492,250 shares of common stock were originally authorized for the Plan, and on November 3, 2010, the Company approved the authorization of an additional 300,000 shares for the Plan for a total authorized number of shares of 1,792,250, which is the total number of shares authorized for the Plan as of December 31, 2010.

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors which has the authority to determine the terms and conditions under which options and restricted stock will be granted, including the number of shares, option price, vesting schedule and term. Under certain circumstances, the Company may repurchase previously granted options or shares issued upon the exercise of a previously granted option.

On each of the above dates, the Company granted employees stock options at exercise prices equal to the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, as determined on a contemporaneous basis by the Board of Directors. To determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the Company’s Board of Directors considered many factors, including:

 

   

the Company’s current and historical operating performance;

 

   

the Company’s expected future operating performance;

 

F-18


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

WhiteGlove Health, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

   

the Company’s financial condition at the grant date;

 

   

the liquidation rights and other preferences of the Company’s preferred stock;

 

   

input from management;

 

   

the lack of marketability of the Company’s common stock;

 

   

the potential future marketability of the Company’s common stock;

 

   

the business risks inherent in the Company’s stage of development and business; and

 

   

the market performance of comparable public companies.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     2010   2009   2008

Expected volatility

   82.5%   60.4%   58.7%

Expected dividend yield

   0%   0%   0%

Expected term

   6.0 years   5.2 years   5.9 years

Risk free rate

   2.2%   2.2%   2.9%

The volatility assumption is based on the historical volatilities of comparable public companies. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of future dividend payouts. The expected term is derived using the simplified method and represents the weighted average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock options.

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $48,000, $25,000 and $7,000, respectively, related to stock options issued under the Plan. As of December 31, 2010, there was $146,000 of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to options issued under the Plan. The unrecognized expense will be recognized over a period of 1.3 years as the underlying stock options vest.

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company had estimated annualized forfeiture rates of 3.0% for options granted to executive officers, 10.0% for options granted to consultants and 40.0% for options granted to employees. The Company records additional expense when the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated and records a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.

Stock Issuances

Under the Plan, the Company may issue shares of common stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares, as a bonus for services rendered or pursuant to restricted stock units or other awards that vest upon the completion of a designated service period or the attainment of pre-established performance milestones. During 2009 and 2008, the Company granted 76,500 shares and 13,830 shares, respectively, of common stock under the Plan as bonuses for services rendered. The stock vested immediately and the Company recorded $16,000 and $3,000 in additional compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No common stock was issued under the Plan in 2010.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Nature of Operations

WhiteGlove Health, Inc. (the “Company”) (formerly known as WhiteGlove House Call Health, Inc.), based in Austin, Texas, was formed as a Texas corporation on April 24, 2007. The Company is a membership–based medical care provider where members pay an all-inclusive, fixed visit fee. Memberships are available to individuals and corporate employers in seven major metropolitan markets (Austin, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; Dallas, Texas; Fort Worth, Texas; Houston, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and San Antonio, Texas).

NOTE 2: FUTURE OPERATIONS

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11.6 million, working capital of $8.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $13.2 million. Additionally, the Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses for at least the next few years. Successful transition to profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure and plans for expansion. In the meantime, management believes that it will be able to obtain additional funding through debt or equity offerings with new and/or existing investors. In the event that these sources of funds are not available to or sufficient for the Company, management would adjust the current level of operations and cash expenditures. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As discussed in Note 7, the Company received $9.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of 2,316,477 shares of Series D preferred stock in March 2011.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

On October 22, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with WhiteGlove-MA, P.C. (“WG-MA PC”) to provide medical services to certain of the Company’s members. In exchange for such services, the Company agreed to provide all business, management and administrative services for WG-MA PC and to reimburse WG-MA PC on a monthly basis an amount equal to WG-MA PC’s direct expenses associated with providing the medical services. As a result, and the fact the WG-MA PC’s continuing viability is heavily dependent on the Company, the Company determined that WG-MA PC is a variable interest entity and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. Therefore, WG-MA PC has been consolidated into the Company’s results since October 22, 2010. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information normally disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations referred to above. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the

year ended December 31, 2010. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary to be fairly stated for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among the more significant estimates are those that relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, treatment supplies reserves, warrants and stock-based compensation. These accounting estimates reflect the best judgment of management. The Company reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may result in revisions to these estimates. Actual results could significantly differ from management’s estimates and judgments.

NOTE 4: SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s cash is deposited in cash at a large depository institution. Deposits of cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits; however, the Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits.

Approximately 56.0% and 55.0% of the Company’s consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were generated by revenues recognized from three health insurance companies. Approximately 78.0% and 79.7% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, represent receivables due from health insurance companies.

NOTE 5: ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accrued expenses at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following:

Promissory Notes

In March 2010, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with an investor for borrowings of $1.0 million (“2010 Promissory Note”). The 2010 Promissory Note accrued interest at a rate of 12% per year and was secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Interest payments were due monthly with all unpaid principal and interest due in March 2012 or immediately upon a change of control, completion of an initial public offering or the sale, lease, license or disposition of certain of the secured assets. The 2010 Promissory Note was repaid in March 2011.

In February 2011, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with two investors for aggregate borrowings of $2.5 million (“2011 Promissory Notes”). The 2011 Promissory Notes accrue interest at a rate of 13% per year and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Interest payments are due monthly with all unpaid principal and interest due in February 2013 or immediately upon a change of control, completion of an initial public offering or the sale, lease, license or disposition of certain of the secured assets. As of March 31, 2011, the Company concluded that the completion of an initial public offering within the next twelve months was probable and therefore has classified the 2011 Promissory Notes as current.

NOTE 7: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 15,903,073 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Convertible Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2011, the Company was authorized to issue 10,930,823 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock, of which (i) 3,325,000 shares designated as series A convertible preferred stock, (ii) 873,852 shares designated as Series A-1 convertible preferred stock, (iii) 1,964,213 shares designated as Series B-1 convertible preferred stock, (iv) 2,451,281 shares designated as Series C convertible preferred stock and (v) 2,316,477 shares designated as Series D convertible preferred stock.

In March 2011, the Company issued 2,316,477 shares of Series D preferred stock in exchange for $9.8 million in cash, net of offering costs. In March 2011, the Company repurchased 463,295 shares of Series C preferred stock from an investor for total cash consideration of $2.0 million.

Dividends

The preferred stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared, by the Company’s Board of Directors. No dividends can be declared or paid to holders of the common stock unless a proportionate dividend is declared or paid to the holders of the preferred stock. The rights to receive dividends is not cumulative and do not accrue. Any declared but unpaid dividends must be paid upon conversion, in either cash or shares of common stock based on the fair value of the common stock on the date of the conversion.

Voting

Each preferred stockholder is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of preferred stock could be converted as of the record date.

Liquidation

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the common stock and to the holders of any equity securities ranking junior to the preferred stock with respect to the liquidation, an amount equal to the original issuance price, plus any declared but unpaid dividends.

Conversion

Any holder of preferred stock may convert all or any portion of their shares into a number of shares of common stock computed by multiplying the number of shares of preferred stock to be converted by the original issue price divided by the conversion price then in effect. At March 31, 2011, the conversion price of the preferred stock and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion was as follows:

 

     Conversion Price      Shares of
Common Stock

Issuable
 

Series A preferred stock

   $ 0.27         3,325,000   

Series A-1 preferred stock

     2.00         873,852   

Series B-1 preferred stock

     2.20         1,767,048   

Series C preferred stock

     3.26         1,825,613   

Series D preferred stock

     4.32         2,316,477

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The conversion price is adjustable downward if the Company issues certain common stock or similar instruments that allow for the purchase of such stock at a price lower than the then-current conversion price of the preferred stock. All of the outstanding shares of preferred stock will be converted into common stock at the conversion price then in effect upon the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the closing of a qualified public offering, as defined, or (ii) the election of a majority of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Redemption

The Series C and Series D preferred stock are redeemable on or after March 2, 2018 upon notice from at least 50% of the then outstanding Series C or Series D preferred stockholders. The redemption price is equal to the greater of the original issue price plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares or the fair market value of the Series C and Series D preferred stock as of the redemption date. At March 31, 2011, the redemption value of the Series C and Series D preferred stock was $5,958,000 and $10,000,000, respectively.

NOTE 8: SHARE BASED PAYMENT

Stock Options

In 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (“the Plan”) under which employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company may be granted incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Options are generally granted to employees at 100% of the fair value at the date of the grant. The fair value, rate of exercisability, and expiration dates of the options granted are determined by the Board at the time of grant. The maximum term of options granted under the Plan is ten years from the date of grant. Options generally vest ratably over a period of time of typically not more than four years. The Company also has the right of first refusal for any proposed disposition of shares under the Plan. The total number of shares authorized for the Plan as of March 31, 2011 was 1,967,250.

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors which has the authority to determine the terms and conditions under which options and restricted stock will be granted, including the number of shares, option price, vesting schedule and term. Under certain circumstances, the Company may repurchase previously granted options or shares issued upon the exercise of a previously granted option.

The following table presents a summary of stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011:

     113,000       $ 0.61       $ 3.85       $ 3.41   

On each of the above dates, the Company granted employees stock options at exercise prices equal to $0.61, as determined on a contemporaneous basis by the Board of Directors. To determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the Company’s Board of Directors obtained a third party valuation.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     Three Months Ended
March 31,
     2011   2010

Expected volatility

   64.5%   82.5%

Expected dividend yield

   0%   0%

Expected term

   6.0 years   6.0 years

Risk free rate

   2.5%   2.8%

The volatility assumption is based on the historical volatilities of comparable public companies. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of future dividend payouts. The expected term is derived using the simplified method and represents the weighted average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock options.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $31,000 and $9,000, respectively, related to stock options issued under the Plan. As of March 31, 2011, there was $271,000 of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to options issued under the Plan. The unrecognized expense will be recognized over a period of 1.3 years as the underlying stock options vest.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had estimated annualized forfeiture rates of 3.0% for options granted to executive officers, 10.0% for options granted to consultants and 40.0% for options granted to employees. The Company records additional expense when the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated and records a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.

NOTE 10: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2011, the Company granted 75,000 stock options to a consultant under the Plan. The options have an exercise price of $0.61 per share. The options vest over four years.

In April 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the WhiteGlove Health, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2011 Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders in May 2011. The 2011 Plan is a broad-based incentive plan that provides for granting stock options, stock awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards and substitute awards to employees, service providers and non-employee directors.

In May 2011, the Company granted 130,500 stock options under the Plan. The options have an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The options vest over four years.

Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation to Delaware and, in connection therewith, changed its name to WhiteGlove Health, Inc.

In June 2011, the Company reduced the number of authorized shares under the 2011 Plan by 400,000 shares and increased the number of authorized shares under the Plan by 400,000 shares, for a total authorized number of shares of 2,367,250 shares. The increase in the number of authorized shares under the Plan was to provide adequate shares eligible for option grants until the 2011 Plan becomes effective, which will occur upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering.

In June 2011 the Company granted 425,500 stock options under the Plan. The options have an exercise price of $7.50 per share and vest over four years.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Our certificate of incorporation to be in effect upon the completion of this offering provides for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and our bylaws to be in effect upon the completion of this offering provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers and some employees containing provisions that may be in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification. The Registrant maintains a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to use its best efforts to distribute prior to the opening of bids, to prospective bidders, underwriters, and dealers, a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus which at that time meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Act, and relating to the securities offered at competitive bidding, as contained in the registration statement, together with any supplements thereto, and (2) to file an amendment to the registration statement reflecting the results of bidding, the terms of the reoffering and related matters to the extent required by the applicable form, not later than the first use, authorized by the issuer after the opening of bids, of a prospectus relating to the securities offered at competitive bidding, unless no further public offering of such securities by the issuer and no reoffering of such securities by the purchasers is proposed to be made.
