UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
On October 4, 2011, Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc. (“Metropolitan”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Continucare Corporation (“Continucare”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 26, 2011 (the “Merger”).

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial information of Metropolitan and Continucare and has been prepared to reflect the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock and options of Continucare by Metropolitan.
 
Metropolitan’s fiscal year ends on December 31 while Continucare’s fiscal year ends on June 30. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of June 30, 2011 is based on the historical balance sheets of Metropolitan and Continucare as of that date and has been prepared to reflect the Merger as if it had occurred on June 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 combine the results of operations of Metropolitan for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for Continucare the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and six months ended June 30, 2011, as though the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2010, the first day of Metropolitan’s 2010 fiscal year. The twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 for Continucare has been prepared using the results of Continucare for the four quarters ended December 31, 2010. The six month period ended June 30, 2011 for Continucare has been prepared using the results of Continucare for the two quarters ended June 30, 2011.
 
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of operations. The historical consolidated financial statements of Continucare have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications that conform to Metropolitan’s financial statement presentation.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Metropolitan and Continucare been a combined company as of or during the periods specified.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based upon and should be read in conjunction with Metropolitan’s and Continucare’s historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing GAAP. The acquisition accounting for certain items, including property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets are dependent upon certain valuations that have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are based upon estimates and current preliminary information and may differ materially from actual amounts. For purposes of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the Merger consideration has been preliminarily allocated to the tangible and intangible assets being acquired and liabilities being assumed based upon various estimates of fair value. The Merger consideration will be allocated among the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the Merger. Any excess of the Merger consideration over the fair value of Continucare’s identifiable net assets will be recorded as goodwill. The final allocation is dependent upon the completion of the aforementioned valuations. The actual amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and those differences could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial performance. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not include transaction related expenses that have not previously been expensed, which we estimate to be approximately $10.7 million. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits from synergies that may be derived from any integration activities, nor do the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income include the effects of any other items directly attributable to the Merger that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
On October 4, 2011, Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc. (“Metropolitan”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Continucare Corporation (“Continucare”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 26, 2011 (the “Merger”).  The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the authoritative guidance for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in which Metropolitan acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Continucare.
 
Continucare’s fiscal year end is June 30. Metropolitan’s historical financial statements are based on a calendar year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010 for Continucare has been prepared using the quarterly results of Continucare for the four quarters ended December 31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010 is based on the audited financial statements of Metropolitan. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are based on the unaudited quarterly results of Continucare and Metropolitan. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, give effect to the Merger and related financing activities as if these transactions had been consummated on January 1, 2010.
 
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the pro forma combined financial position and results of operations based upon the historical financial statements of Metropolitan and Continucare, after giving effect to the Merger, related financing activities and other adjustments. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits from synergies that may be derived from any integration activities, nor do the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income include the effects of any other items directly attributable to the Merger that are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of operations.
 
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Merger and related financing activities as if the transaction had been consummated on June 30, 2011, and includes estimated pro forma adjustments for the preliminary valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These adjustments are subject to further revision as additional information becomes available.
 
NOTE 2 — ALLOCATION OF MERGER CONSIDERATION
 
The Merger Agreement with Continucare provided for Metropolitan’s acquisition of all of the outstanding equity securities of Continucare. Each share of Continucare common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing was converted into the right to receive 0.0414 of a share of Metropolitan common stock and $6.25 in cash, without interest. No fractional shares of Metropolitan common stock were issued in the Merger and Continucare stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Merger agreement also provides for the vesting and cancellation of all Continucare stock options and the payment of $6.45 in cash per option less the exercise price of the options. The total value of the transaction was approximately $417.0 million, excluding transaction and financing fees.
 
Upon completion of the Merger, the former Continucare stockholders owned approximately 5.8% of Metropolitan’s outstanding common stock.
 
Metropolitan had $315 million of long-term financing outstanding at the time of consummation of the Merger. At the time of close, there was sufficient cash on hand to fund the Merger and Metropolitan did not borrow funds under the revolving credit facility.

The final Merger consideration allocation for certain items, including property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets are dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have not yet progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The actual amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented herein.

 
 

 
 
The above estimated goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Estimated goodwill does not include pro forma adjustments for non-recurring items such as transaction costs and compensation payments. Goodwill is not amortized.
 
NOTE 3 — PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes certain adjustments to conform the Continucare balance sheet and statement of income classifications to those of Metropolitan’s, to give effect to the Merger and Metropolitan’s financing activities and to adjust historical amounts to estimated fair value in connection with the Merger consideration allocation.
 
Acquisition-related transaction costs (i.e., advisory, legal, valuation and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.  Total transaction costs related to the acquisition are estimated to be $14.1 million.
 
Unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet adjustments
 
a) 
To reclassify $2.6 million of Continucare accrued payroll and payroll taxes from accrued expenses to accrued payroll and payroll taxes.
   
b)
Metropolitan has entered into a $280 million senior secured credit facility and a $75 million second lien credit facility term loan (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) to fund a substantial portion of the Merger consideration. The $280 million senior secured credit facility includes a $40 million revolving credit facility. Various financing costs related to executing these debt instruments will be amortized over the terms of the loans.
 
Subject to various terms and conditions, Metropolitan may from time to time, borrow and repay funds under the revolving credit facility until its maturity date of October 4, 2016.  The revolving credit facility includes subfacilities for up to $15 million for letters of credit and $5 million for same day, “swingline” borrowings.
 
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal, at Metropolitan’s option, to LIBOR plus 5.5% or the Base Rate plus 4.5% for term loans, and LIBOR plus 5.0% or the Base Rate plus 4.0% for revolving loans.  The LIBOR rate is determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate, subject to a minimum rate of 1.5%.  The Base Rate is determined by reference to the highest of (1) the Prime Rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal, (2) the applicable federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) LIBOR, subject to a minimum rate of 1.5%.  Metropolitan has elected the Libor rate for the $240 million senior secured credit facility and at October 4, 2011 the interest rate was 7.0%.
 
All obligations under the senior secured facility and second lien credit facility are guaranteed jointly and severally by substantially all of Metropolitan’s existing and future subsidiaries and are secured by a first and second priority security interest, respectively, in substantially all of Metropolitan’s and the guarantors’ existing and future assets.
 
 
 

 
 
 
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are subject to amortization at the following rates: 5.0% the first year, 7.5% the second year, 10.0% the third year, and 12.5% for each of the fourth and fifth years.  The balance of all borrowings under the senior secured credit facility is due and payable on the maturity date of October 4, 2016.
 
Metropolitan is also required to make prepayments (subject to certain basket amounts and exceptions) equal to 75% of excess cash flow (as defined in the loan agreement) which percentage decreases to 50% based on achievement of a total leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of Metropolitan’s aggregate outstanding indebtedness to its adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization) not exceeding 2.0x as of the last day of each year.  Metropolitan expects that it will begin making excess cash flow payments in March, 2013.
 
The senior secured credit facility includes certain restrictive covenants and also requires Metropolitan to maintain total leverage, senior leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as defined in the Credit Facility, during the term of the agreement, tested quarterly.
 
Borrowings under the second lien credit facility bear interest equal to, at Metropolitan’s option, the LIBOR rate, with a floor of 1.75% plus 11.75%, or the Base Rate plus 10.75%.  The LIBOR floor under the second lien credit facility is 1.75%.  Metropolitan has selected the LIBOR rate loan and the interest rate is 13.5% at October 4, 2011.  The second lien credit facility is generally payable on the maturity date, October 4, 2017.  Prior to the repayment of all borrowings under the senior secured credit facility, Metropolitan may not make any prepayments without the prior written consent of the senior secured lenders.
 
To the extent a prepayment of borrowings under the second lien credit facility is permitted, the payment is subject to the following charges:  5.0% if the prepayment is made between May 4, 2013 and October 3, 2013, 3.0% if the prepayment is made between October 4, 2013 and October 3, 2014 and 2.0% if the prepayment is made between October 4, 2014 and October 3, 2015.  For prepayments prior to May 4, 2013, Metropolitan will be required to pay the estimated, discounted net present value of any interest payments that would have been required to have been made on or before May 4, 2013 and that are avoided by Metropolitan as a result of the prepayment plus 5% of the principal amount prepaid.
 
The second lien credit facility contains substantially the same covenants as the senior secured credit facility, except that the covenants in the Second Lien Credit Agreement are generally less restrictive than under the senior secured credit facility.

(1)   For purposes of the June 30, 2011 pro forma balance sheet, cash in excess of cash on hand would have been required to close the transaction and we assumed advances against the revolving credit facility.  At the time of close, there was sufficient cash to fund the Merger and we did not borrow funds under the revolving credit facility.  Therefore, no interest expense for this borrowing was included in the pro forma information.

NOTE 4 — PRO FORMA ADJUSTED EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In determining Adjusted EBITDA, stock-based compensation expense is considered an amortization item and is also added to net income in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.  We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it excludes transactions not related to the core cash operating business activities.  We believe that excluding these transactions allow investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations.
 
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP measure) to the reported pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 (in thousands):
