OnCure Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2011

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

OnCure Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “OnCure”) is a Delaware corporation formed in 2006 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Oncure Medical Corp. (“the Merger”). OnCure is substantially owned by funds managed by Genstar Capital, LLC. The Company has 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock of which none is issued or outstanding.

 

OnCure is principally engaged in providing capital equipment and business management services to radiation oncology physician groups (“Groups”) that treat patients at cancer centers (“Centers”). The Company owns the Centers’ assets and provides services to the Groups through exclusive, long-term management services agreements. OnCure provides the Groups with oncology business management expertise and new technologies including radiation oncology equipment and related treatment software. Business services that OnCure provides to the Groups include non-physician clinical and administrative staff, operations management, purchasing, managed care contract negotiation assistance, reimbursement, billing and collecting, information technology, human resource and payroll, compliance, accounting, and treasury. Under the terms of the management service agreements, the Company is reimbursed for certain operating expenses of each Center and earns a monthly management fee from each Group that is primarily based on a predetermined percentage of each Group’s earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). The Company manages the radiation oncology business operations of six Groups in Florida, six Groups in California, one Group in Indiana for a fee that ranges from 50% to 60% of EBITDA; and one Group in California for a fee that is 72% of net revenue.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and, accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2011. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s receivables, prepaids, payables and accrued liabilities are current assets and obligations on normal terms and, accordingly, the recorded values are believed by management to approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

The fair value of the Company’s debt was approximately $183.8 million and $199.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  While the Company’s long-term debt has not been listed on any securities exchange or inter-dealer automated quotation system, the Company has estimated the fair value of its long-term debt based on indicative pricing published by investment banks.  While the Company believes these approximations to be reasonably accurate at the time published, indicative pricing can vary widely depending on volume traded by any given investment bank and other factors.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the Company’s debt was $206.9 million and $206.6 million, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-07, Health Care Entities (Topic 954), Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).  This ASU contains amendments that require health care entities to change the presentation of their statement of operations by reclassifying the provision for bad debts associated with patient service revenue from an operating expense to a deduction from patient service revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company expects to implement the standard beginning with the first quarter of 2012, with retrospective application required.  The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have any impact on net income or loss.

2. Net Revenue

 

Net revenue is recorded at the amount earned by the Company under the management services agreements. Services rendered by the respective Groups are billed by the Company, as the exclusive billing agent of the Groups, to patients, third-party payors, and others. The Company’s management fees are dependent on the EBITDA (or in one case, revenue) of each treatment center. As such, revenues generated by the Groups significantly impact the amount of management fees recognized by the Company. If differences between the Groups’ revenues and the expected reimbursement are identified based on actual final settlements, there would be an impact to the Company’s net revenue. There was no material adjustment in the Company’s net revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Amounts distributed to the Groups for their services under the terms of the management services agreements totaled $6.9 million and $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $21.2 million and $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, amounts payable to the Groups for their services of $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, were included in accrued expenses.

 

The Groups derive a significant portion of revenue from amounts billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and other payors that receive discounts from the Groups’ approved gross billing amount. As the Company is not a medical provider, all contracts are between the Group and the responsible parties, but the negotiation of contract terms is one of the business services provided by the Company under its management services agreements. The Company must estimate the total amount of these discounts, which reduce revenue for both the Groups and the Company, to prepare its consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and subject to interpretation and adjustment. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 42% and 43%, respectively, of the Groups’ revenues related to services rendered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 44% and 45%, respectively, of the Groups’ revenues related to services rendered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In the ordinary course of business, the Company, as the Group’s billing agent, and the Groups are potentially subject to a review by regulatory agencies concerning the accuracy of billings and sufficiency of supporting documentation of procedures performed. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are extremely complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.

 

The Company has two management agreements that generated approximately 25% and 14% of revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 23% and 14% of revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. These same two management agreements generated approximately 25% and 13% of revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 24% and 14% of revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Integrated Community Oncology Network, LLC (“ICON”) notified the Company on July 8, 2011, that it sought to terminate the ICON MSA effective October 11, 2011, alleging material changes in the management fees and management services under the ICON MSA as grounds for the termination.  The ICON MSA represents approximately 14% of the Company’s revenue for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The Company and ICON participated in mediation to resolve the matter, but were unable to reach an agreement.  Subsequently, the Company and ICON attempted to resolve the dispute pursuant to the arbitration provisions provided for in the ICON MSA.  To that end, the Company and ICON entered into a Standstill Agreement under which each agreed to continue to perform and discharge their respective obligations under the ICON MSA from the date of the Standstill Agreement until either: (i) an arbitrator issues a final award allowing ICON to terminate the ICON MSA; or (ii) the ICON MSA terminates by its own terms or by agreement of the parties. The Company and ICON are currently engaged in arbitration.

Table of Contents

 

11.75% Senior Secured Notes

 

On May 13, 2010, the Company concluded an offering for $210.0 million of 11.75% Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Notes”) which will mature on May 15, 2017, which were exchanged in January 2011 for registered notes with substantially identical terms. The offering of the Senior Notes closed on May 13, 2010 with generated net proceeds to the Company of $206.3 million which was utilized to repay the outstanding balances of the Company’s Senior term loan and Subordinated debt along with $9.0 million of expenses of the offering. The Senior Notes are secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries. Prior to May 15, 2013, up to 35% of the Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company with proceeds from an equity offering at a redemption price of 111.75%. On or after May 15, 2014, 2015 and 2016 the notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at redemption prices of 105.875%, 102.938% and 100.0%, respectively.

 

The Senior Notes are governed by an indenture that contains certain restrictive covenants. These restrictions affect, and in many respects limit or prohibit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, make prepayments of certain indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments, engage in transactions with stockholders and affiliates, issue capital stock of subsidiaries, create liens, sell assets, and engage in mergers and consolidations.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Senior Notes, the Company’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncure Medical Corp. and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a new senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) with GE Capital Markets, Inc., as sole lead arranger and book manager, General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for aggregate commitments of up to $40.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of $2.0 million and a swing line sub-facility of $2.0 million, and provides for the increase, at the Company’s option, of aggregate commitments by $10.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of Prime plus 3.5% (6.75% at September 30, 2011) or LIBOR plus 4.5% (4.72% at September 30, 2011). The revolving line of credit is subject to an unused line fee of 0.75% to be paid quarterly. The Revolving Credit Facility is undrawn as of September 30, 2011 and expires in May 2015.

 

The credit agreement for the Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that the Company and its subsidiaries must comply with if the Company draws on the Revolver. As of September 30, 2011, no events of default have occurred with respect to any of the Company’s debt agreements. (See subsequent event note regarding Revolving Credit Facility).

 

Loan Fees

 

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the remaining unamortized balance of deferred loan fees was $7.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

5. Unconsolidated Joint Venture

 

On May 3, 2011, the Company was notified by Northeast Florida Cancer Services, LLC (“NFCS”) an affiliate of Hospital Corporation of America, of its intent to divest of its 51% ownership in Memorial Southside Cancer Center (“Memorial”). The Company and Ninth City Landowners, LLP (“Ninth City”), each owned a 24.5% interest in Memorial. On August 31, 2011, the Company and Ninth City jointly acquired NFCS’s 51% ownership. As a result of the transaction, the Company and Ninth City each own 50% of Memorial. The assets of the cyber knife business, a component of the Memorial Joint Venture, were distributed to NFCS in addition to cash of approximately $0.8 million, 50% of which was paid by the Company, representing the difference in the value of the cyber knife assets distributed and the value of the 51% NFCS ownership interest in Memorial. The Company records its ownership interest under the equity method of accounting for an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

 

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint venture was approximately $4.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and is recorded in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has a management services agreement with Coastal Radiation Oncology Medical Group, Inc. (‘‘Coastal’’). One of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors is a shareholder of Coastal. We earn a management fee based on a fixed percentage of the earnings, while Coastal retains the remaining earnings. Under this management services agreement, Coastal retained $1.8 million and $1.6 million for its medical services for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $5.5 million and $5.3 million for its medical services for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

The Company leases its space for three radiation oncology treatment centers and one facility used for administrative offices and physics services from entities affiliated with the above mentioned shareholder of Coastal. The Company recorded rent expense related to these leases of approximately $0.2 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and approximately $0.7 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

 

7. Subsequent Events

 

On October 26, 2011, Oncure Medical Corp., and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Revolving Credit Facility.  The Amendment provides that the quarterly Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio compliance test set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility is now only required to the extent that there is an outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility.  In addition, among other things, the Amendment provides that subsequently, if (i) one or more Permitted Acquisitions have occurred with a combined EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) of at least $4 million and (ii) the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) of Oncure Medical Corp. is $38 million or more, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will no longer be a maintenance test, but rather will be tested only upon a draw or issuance of a letter of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Business Overview

 

We operate radiation oncology treatment centers for cancer patients. We contract with radiation oncology medical groups, which we refer to as our affiliated physician groups, and their radiation oncologists through long-term management services agreements, or MSAs, to offer cancer patients a comprehensive range of radiation oncology treatment options, including most traditional and next generation services. Radiation oncology treatments are primarily performed with a linear accelerator, or linac, which uses high-energy photons or electrons to destroy the tumor. We currently provide services to a network of 14 affiliated physician groups that treat cancer patients at our 38 radiation oncology treatment centers.

 

We typically lease the facilities where our radiation oncology treatment centers are located and own or lease all of the equipment and leasehold improvements at these centers. Through our MSAs, we provide our affiliated physician groups use of these facilities, certain clinical services of our treatment center staff, and administer the non-medical business functions of our treatment centers, such as technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management and compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting, human resource management and physician succession planning. Our affiliated physician groups and their physicians retain full control over the clinical aspects of patient care. This structure is designed to allow our affiliated physician groups to focus primarily on providing patient care and treatment center growth including expansion of their group’s services.

 

Our MSAs have an average term of 10 years and are generally renewable for an additional five year period. Pursuant to the MSAs, our management services revenues include compensation by the affiliated physician groups for expenses incurred in operating our treatment centers plus a fee based on the earnings of our affiliated physician groups. As such, the operating costs of the treatment centers are our responsibility. We believe this MSA structure allows us to ensure the affiliated physician group’s business interests are aligned with our own. We estimate that approximately 99% of our affiliated physician groups’ revenues depend on reimbursement by third party payors, including government payors. As such, our revenue is generated from our MSAs, but is impacted by the operations of the treatment centers especially as they relate to revenues generated by the affiliated physician groups.

 

Our network of 38 treatment centers is located in 38 markets and includes 16 treatment centers in California, 18 treatment centers in Florida and four treatment centers in Indiana.  We currently have MSAs with 14 affiliated physician groups consisting of approximately 70 physicians, who on average have over 15 years of experience.

 

We may either develop a treatment center at a “de novo” site or lease a previously existing treatment center and purchase the existing assets within such center. To date, only two of our current 38 treatment centers were developed as a de novo site, and we continue to evaluate opportunities to open additional de novo sites. We seek to purchase treatment centers or develop de novo treatment centers in locations in areas where there is high utilization of radiation oncology services and where we believe that we can maximize our profits by contracting with radiation oncology groups that can significantly benefit from our management services.

 

Our treatment centers are fitted with clinical technological equipment that allows our affiliated physician groups to provide cancer patients the highest quality of care through clinically advanced treatment options. The early and continual adoption of cutting-edge technology by the physicians in our affiliated physician groups has enabled rapid sharing of this knowledge and best practices across the network to drive superior clinical results. Early adoption and appropriate utilization of these next generation technologies has resulted in more attractive reimbursement rates for our affiliated physician groups.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $25.8 million, $3.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively, compared to $25.4 million, $3.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively, for the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $78.4 million, $11.0 million and $27.3 million, respectively, compared to $74.2 million, $6.0 million and $26.7 million, respectively, for the same period in 2010. The year-over-year increase in net revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA was principally due to increased IMRT and IGRT utilization and an increase in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, and third party IMRT reimbursement rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Our Services

 

Radiation therapy treatments are primarily performed with a linear accelerator, or linac, which uses high-energy photons or electrons to destroy the tumor. Courses of treatment typically last from four to nine weeks. In advance of the actual treatments, a typical patient is provided the following services: (i) the patient is examined, counseled and advised of treatment options by a radiation oncologist; (ii) the agreed upon course of treatment is planned by a physicist under the oncologist’s direction; (iii) a trained dosimetrist designs and verifies that the treatment plan’s radiation dose and targeting are properly calibrated in the software that controls the linac; (iv) a trained radiation therapy technologist assists the patient to, and positions the patient on, the linac and (v) the

technologist verifies the planned dose and beam target before delivering the radiation oncology treatment. Through the use of our treatment centers and equipment, our affiliated physician groups offer a wide array of radiation oncology treatments to cancer patients. The radiation oncologists maintain full control over the provision of medical services at our treatment centers while we provide the non-medical business functions, such as technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management and compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting, human resource management and physician succession planning. Many of our radiation oncology treatment centers also offer support services designed to enhance the patient experience such as support groups, psychological and nutritional counseling and transportation assistance.

 

The majority of individuals who undergo radiation therapy for cancer are treated with external beam radiation therapy. External beam radiation therapy involves exposing the patient to an external source of radiation through the use of special equipment that directs radiation at the cancer. Equipment utilized for external beam radiation therapy varies as some are better for treating cancers near the surface of the skin and others are better for treating cancers deeper in the body. A linac, the common piece of equipment used for external beam radiation therapy, can create both high-energy and low-energy radiation. High-energy radiation is used to treat many types of cancer while low-energy radiation is used to treat some forms of skin cancer. A course of external beam radiation therapy typically ranges from four to nine weeks. Treatments generally are given to a patient once each day with each session lasting approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

 

Another category of radiation therapy is internal radiation therapy, which involves the placement of the radiation source inside the body. The source of the radiation (such as radioactive iodine) is sealed in a small holder, known as an implant, and is introduced through the aid of thin wires or plastic tubes. Internal radiation therapy places the radiation source as close as possible to the cancer cells and delivers a higher dose of radiation in a shorter time than is possible with external beam treatments. Implants may be removed after a short time or left in place permanently (with the radioactivity of the implant dissipating over a short time frame). Temporary implants may be either low-dose rate or high-dose rate. Low-dose rate implants are left in place for several days while high-dose rate implants are removed after a few minutes.

 

Each of our treatment centers is designed to provide a comprehensive array of outpatient programs necessary to treat a cancer patient with radiation therapy. Of our 38 treatment centers, 34 are equipped with a linac that we own or lease. We have an advanced base of technology, including IMRT capabilities in all of our treatment centers and IGRT capabilities in a majority of our treatment centers. Our treatment centers provide a wide variety of therapies, however, our primary therapies are:

 

·                  Conventional Beam Therapy or CBT:  The dominant form of radiation oncology treatment, which may result in relatively high radiation exposure with limited precision, CBT enables radiation oncologists to utilize linac machines to direct radiation beams at the tumor location. After clinical treatment planning is completed, the final configuration of the treatment parameters in the linacs is tested on the patient using a computerized fluoroscopic simulator or by means of computer simulation. The simulator is employed to test the prescribed coordinates of the beam for effective treatment and minimization of exposure (and, therefore, risk of injury) of healthy tissue and critical body structures. Before radiation is administered, custom protective blocks are designed and shaped for each patient to ensure that non-targeted tissue is blocked as thoroughly as possible from radiation. These services are provided by all of our centers.

 

·                  Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy or IMRT:  This state-of-the-art cancer treatment method utilizes computer-controlled x-ray accelerators to deliver precise doses of radiation that conform to the three dimensional shape of the tumor by modulating the intensity of an external beam. By targeting tumors more precisely than is possible with CBT, IMRT can deliver higher radiation doses directly to cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. These services are provided by all of our centers.

 

·                  Image Guided Radiation Therapy or IGRT:  This treatment combines precise three dimensional imaging from computerized tomography scanning or precise x-ray with highly targeted radiation beams via IMRT. This technology allows clinicians to locate a tumor target prior to a radiation oncology treatment, dramatically reducing the need for large target margins, which have traditionally been used to compensate for errors in localization. As a result, the amount of healthy tissue exposed to radiation can be reduced, minimizing the incidence of side effects. The clinical application for expanded treatment sites using IGRT includes the pancreas, lung and liver. These services are provided by 24 of our centers.

 

In addition to the above mentioned therapies, we also offer other advanced services at various of our centers, including:

 

·                  Positron Emission Tomography or PET—Computed Tomography or CT:  Involves the injection of radioactive isotopes into a patient to obtain images of metabolic physiologic processes. The application of PET in the detection of cancer has become significant in the last two years, as it is the first diagnostic procedure that can detect and monitor a patient’s metabolic malignancies. PET/CT provides information that is not available with other medical imaging and combines the

metabolic cancer cells detection of PET with an anatomical picture of the tumor on a CT. These services are provided by nine of our centers.

 

·                  High Dose Rate Brachytherapy:  This treatment involves the use of radioactive isotopes placed directly in contact with cancer tissues, which are then removed when a lethal dose of radiation has been delivered to the cancer. These services are provided by 16 of our centers.

 

·                  Simulation, Dosimetry and Three Dimensional Conformal Treatment Planning:  These procedures involve the use of a computer scan, allowing tumors to be visualized in a three dimensional format. This makes it possible to treat the cancer volume with very narrow margins, which greatly decreases the amount of normal tissue irradiated and treatment side effects. This technique also permits the delivery of a larger lethal dose of radiation to the cancer. These services are provided by all of our centers.

 

·                  Prostate Implantation:  Involves the use of palladium and iodine “seeds” and other radioactive implants (radioactive isotopes) in the treatment of prostate cancer while sparing the nearby organs and structures. These services are provided by 19 of our centers.

 

·                  Stereotactic Radiosurgery or SRS:  Enables delivery of concentrated, precise, high dose radiation beams to localized tumors. Historically, stereotactic radiosurgery was used primarily for contained lesions of the brain but recent advancements in imaging technologies have allowed more types of tumors to be targeted, therefore broadening the use of stereotactic radiosurgery for extra-cranial cancers. These services are provided by six of our centers.

 

Net Revenue and Expenses

 

Net Revenue.  We generate net revenue pursuant to long-term MSAs with affiliated physician groups. Pursuant to these MSAs, we provide our affiliated physician groups use of our facilities, certain clinical services of our treatment center staff and administer the non-medical business functions of our treatment centers, such as technical staff recruiting, marketing, managed care contracting, receivables management, compliance, purchasing, information systems, accounting, human resource management and physician succession planning. In return, our management services revenues include compensation by the affiliated physician groups for expenses incurred in operating our treatment centers plus a fee based on the earnings of our affiliated physician groups, with the exception of one MSA in California, under which we earn our management fee based on a fixed percentage of the affiliated physician group’s net revenue.  Net revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $25.8 million and $78.4 million, respectively.

 

The revenue of our affiliated physician groups is generated from reimbursement by third-party payors and government programs. As such, our revenue is generated from our MSAs, but is impacted by the operations of the treatment centers especially as they relate to revenues generated by the affiliated physician groups.

 

Operating Expenses.  Our operating expenses consist principally of (i) the salaries and benefits we pay to our employees, including our management, billing and collections staff, administrative staff, marketing group and the professionals and employees working at our treatment centers other than the radiation oncologists; (ii) general and administrative expenses, including maintenance, rent, bad debt expense, utilities, insurance and other expenses for our corporate and administrative offices and treatment centers; and (iii) depreciation and amortization. The operating costs of the treatment centers are our responsibility.  Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $22.1 million and $67.4 million, respectively.

 

Factors Affecting our Growth

 

We seek to drive growth by increasing our same-center operating performance, acquiring and developing new treatment centers in both our current and new markets, leveraging our strengths to contract with additional third-party payors on favorable terms, capitalizing on our receivables management expertise to maximize collections and benefitting from payors’ increased acceptance of, and reimbursement for, next generation treatment technologies.

 

Same-Center Growth

 

Referral source development, optimizing the utilization of new technologies, more efficient utilization of treatment center resources, a stable reimbursement environment and experienced management have resulted in our ability to maintain our financial performance. We have had success driving same-center growth through our proactive referral marketing programs, further advancements in web-based marketing, and targeted physician recruitment, which entails initiating physician recruitment only to the extent there is a need by one of our affiliated physician groups for additional practitioners within such group. Our referral marketing

 

18



Table of Contents

 

programs include assisting our affiliated physician groups with website development; search engine optimization; education oriented community awareness initiatives, such as community event participation; development of collateral material, such as brochures and newsletters and media advertisements; reports to track referral patterns; and periodic analyses of changes in referral sources. Our investment in, and implementation of, new state-of-the-art equipment has also helped drive same-center growth.

 

Acquisitions and Developments

 

We expect to continue to acquire and develop treatment centers in connection with the implementation of our growth strategy. When we acquire a treatment center, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. We believe the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on reasonable assumptions. We do not currently have any binding commitments or agreements to make any acquisitions.

 

On July 19, 2011, we received approval from the State of California to provide cancer patient treatment at our de novo site in Yorba Linda, California.  The de novo site, developed in cooperation with one of our local affiliated physician groups, began providing cancer consultation services during July 2011 and began cancer patient treatments during August 2011.

 

On May 3, 2011, the Company was notified by Northeast Florida Cancer Services, LLC, or NFCS, an affiliate of Hospital Corporation of America, of its intent to divest of its 51% ownership in Memorial Southside Cancer Center, or Memorial. The Company and Ninth City Landowners, LLP, or Ninth City, each owned a 24.5% interest in Memorial. On August 31, 2011, the Company and Ninth City jointly acquired NFCS’s 51% ownership. As a result of the transaction, the Company and Ninth City each own 50% of Memorial. The assets of the cyber knife business, a component of the Memorial Joint Venture, were distributed to NFCS in addition to cash of approximately $0.8 million, 50% of which was paid by Oncure, representing the difference in the value of the cyber knife assets distributed and the value of the 51% NFCS ownership interest in Memorial. The Company records its ownership interest under the equity method of accounting for an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

 

In January 2006, we formed the Vidalia Regional Cancer Center, LLC as a joint venture with Meadows Regional Medical Center, Inc., or Meadows, to develop and operate a new cancer treatment center in Vidalia, Georgia. Both the Company and Meadows committed to fund the initial capital requirements upon issuance of a certificate of need, or CON, by the Georgia Department of Community. The CON was issued to Meadows in 2010 and will be contributed to the joint venture as Meadows’ initial capital contribution. During 2011, Vidalia Regional Cancer Center, LLC  was renamed Meadows Regional Cancer Center, LLC and the operating agreement was changed to include a 40% equity interest for the Company and Meadows and a 20% equity interest for Florida Radiation Oncology Group, LLC, a related party. On May 3, 2011, the Operating Agreement was executed by the parties named above. We have committed to provide $1.0 million of initial capital to Meadows Regional Cancer Center, LLC which includes operating lease guarantees, purchases of furniture and fixtures and initial funding of operating working capital. Development activities began during the second quarter of 2011 and are expected to conclude during the second quarter 2012 with the commencement of patient treatment.

 

Third-Party Contracting

 

Our affiliated physician groups receive payments for their services and treatments rendered to patients covered by third-party payors. Most of our affiliated physician groups’ revenue from third-party payors is from managed care organizations and is attributable to contracts we have negotiated with them. We believe that the scale of our treatment center network improves our ability to negotiate more attractive agreements with these payors. These agreements specify fixed fees for services provided at our treatment centers, and give the managed care organization the ability to market access to our affiliated physician groups and physicians to their members. This is a benefit to the managed care organization, and also gives our affiliated physician groups access to a larger pool of potential patients.

Receivables Management

 

Our affiliated physician groups provide radiation therapy services under a significant number of different professional and technical codes, which determine reimbursement. Our affiliated physician groups rely on us to provide the complex coding, billing and collections process. Fees billed to contracted third-party payors and government sponsored programs are automatically adjusted to the allowable payment amount at the time of billing. For third-party payors with whom we do not have contracts and self-pay patients, the amount we expect will be paid for services is estimated and recorded at the time of billing. We revise these estimates at the time billings are collected for any actual differences in the amount received and the net billings due.

 

Our billing office staff expedites the payment process using a number of methods, including electronic inquiries, phone calls and automated letters, which helps to facilitate timely payment by the relevant payor. We routinely prepare aging reports for accounts receivable by date of billing. Our collection team then utilizes these reports to assess and determine the payors requiring additional focus and collection efforts. Our accounts receivable exposure on Medicare, Medicaid and third-party payor balances are largely limited to contractual adjustments. Our exposure to bad debts on balances relating to these types of payors historically has been de minimis.

 

As part of the MSA, and in consideration of the management services we provide to them, the affiliated physician groups assign their accounts receivable to us.  Accounts receivable and the related cash flows upon collection of these accounts receivable are reported net of estimated allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments.

 

In the event of denial of payment, we follow the payor’s standard appeals process, both to secure payment and to negotiate with the payors, as appropriate, to modify their medical policies to expand coverage for the newer and more advanced treatment services that we provide. If all reasonable collection efforts with these payors have been exhausted by our central billing office staff, the account receivable is written off to the contractual allowance.

Our affiliated physician groups receive payments for their services and treatments rendered to patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, third-party payors and self-pay. Generally, our affiliated physician groups’ net revenue is impacted by a number of factors, including the payor mix, the number and nature of procedures performed and the rate of payment for the procedures.

 

Third-Party Payors.  Third-party payors include private health insurance as well as related payments for co-insurance and co-payments. Most of our affiliated physician groups’ third-party payor revenue is attributable to contracts where a set fee is negotiated relative to services provided by our treatment centers. We do not have any contracts that individually represent over 5% of our affiliated physician groups’ net revenue. Although the terms and conditions of our managed care contracts vary, they are typically for terms of less than five years and provide for automatic renewals. If payments by managed care organizations and other third-party payors decrease then our net revenue and net income could decrease.

 

Medicare and Medicaid.  Since cancer disproportionately affects elderly people, a significant portion of our affiliated physician groups’ net revenue is derived from the Medicare program as well as related co-payments. Medicare reimbursement rates are determined by CMS and are typically lower than our rates to third-party payors and self-pay patients. Further, Medicaid reimbursement rates are typically lower than Medicare rates. Government sponsored programs generally reimburse on a fee-for-service basis based on a predetermined reimbursement rate schedule. Medicare reimbursement rates are determined by a formula that typically changes on an annual basis. We depend on payments from government sources and any changes in Medicare or Medicaid programs could result in an increase or decrease in our net revenue and net income.

 

Self-Pay.  Self-pay consists of payments for treatments by patients not otherwise covered by Medicare, Medicaid and third-party payors.

Seasonality

 

Our results of operations historically have fluctuated on a quarterly basis and can be expected to continue to fluctuate. Some of the patients of our Florida treatment centers are part-time residents in Florida during the winter months. Hence, these treatment centers have historically experienced higher utilization rates during the winter months than during the remainder of the year. In addition, referrals are typically lower in the summer months due to traditional vacation periods.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

 

Net revenue.  Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $25.8 million compared to $25.4 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $0.4 million or 1.6%. The year-over-year increase in net revenue was principally due to a 4% increase in IMRT treatments and a 33% increase in IGRT treatments in 2011, both of which are compensated at a higher rate than CBT, and an increase in CMS and third party IMRT reimbursement rates, partially offset by lower conventional census compared to the same period in 2010.

 

Salaries and benefits.  Salaries and benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 6.3% or $0.5 million to $7.5 million from $8.0 million for the same period in 2010.  The decrease is primarily due to the adjustment of accrued year-to-date incentive based compensation expense and reductions in employee headcount and related salaries and benefits, offset by the overall effect of mid-year salary increases compared to the same period in 2010.

 

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased to $4.3 million compared to $4.6 million for the same period of 2010 primarily due to assets which became fully depreciated.

 

General and administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $0.9 million to $10.3 million, or 9.6%, from $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was principally due to an increase of $0.2 million in operating lease expense from the addition of three linacs during the second half of

 

21



Table of Contents

 

2010, an increase of $0.3 million in equipment related repairs and maintenance expense at the treatment centers, and an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million primarily from increased contract physicist expense, center facility rent increases, medical supplies, and professional fees related to an MSA renewal, offset by non-recurring costs incurred in the same period in 2010 associated with operating a temporary vault while replacing a linac at a single-linac treatment center and legal costs related to a lease settlement of $0.7 million.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense remained comparable at $6.7 million the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

 

Income tax benefit.  Income tax benefit remained comparable at $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

 

Net revenue.  Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $78.4 million compared to $74.2 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $4.2 million or 5.7%. The year-over-year increase in net revenue was principally due to a 9% increase in IMRT treatments and a 36% increase in IGRT treatments in 2011, both of which are compensated at a higher rate than CBT, and an increase in CMS and third party IMRT reimbursement rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by lower conventional census compared to the same period in 2010.

 

Salaries and benefits.  Salaries and benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 8.6% to $24.3 million from $26.6 million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to a reduction of $0.8 million of non-recurring severance costs related to the departure of our former CEO in 2010, $0.5 million conditional management retention expense and $0.5 million of other compensation payments approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors paid in 2010 not included in 2011, and decreased stock option expense of $0.3 million compared to the same period in 2010.

 

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased to $13.4 million compared to $13.8 million for the same period of 2010 primarily due to assets which became fully depreciated.

 

General and administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $1.8 million to $29.6 million, or 6.5%, from $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was principally due to an increase of $0.7 million in operating lease expense from the addition of three linacs during the second half of 2010, an increase of $1.1 million in equipment related repairs and maintenance expense at the treatment centers, $0.4 million in professional fees related to an MSA renewal, and an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $1.9 million primarily from increased bad debt expense, increased contract physicist expense, medical supplies, increased advertising and promotion expense, center facility rent increases, increased property and sales and use taxes, professional fees related to public filings, offset by non-recurring costs incurred in the same period in 2010 associated with operating a temporary vault while replacing a linac at a single-linac treatment center and legal costs related to a lease settlement of $2.7 million.

 

Interest expense.  Interest expense increased $3.9 million to $20.1 million or 24.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $16.2 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in interest expense was principally due to the refinancing of debt in 2010 and the issuance of $210.0 million of Senior Notes which bear interest at higher rates than the retired debt.

 

Income tax benefit.  Income tax benefit decreased $1.4 million to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2010.  The decrease was due to a $9.3 million loss before tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a $13.4 million loss before tax for the same period in 2010.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On May 13, 2010, we concluded an offering for $210.0 million of Senior Notes. Proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes were used primarily to repay our then existing senior credit facility and subordinated debt. Concurrently with the closing of the offering, our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncure Medical Corp., and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a new Revolving Credit Facility with GE Capital Markets, Inc., as sole lead arranger and book manager, General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for aggregate commitments of up to $40.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of $2.0 million and a swing line sub-facility of $2.0 million, and provides for the increase, at our option, of aggregate commitments by $10.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility is undrawn as of September 30, 2011 and expires in May 2015.

Our primary ongoing liquidity requirements are expected to be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures and acquisitions. We may finance these liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, including borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

 

On May 3, 2011, we were notified by Northeast Florida Cancer Services, or NFCS, an affiliate of Hospital Corporation of America, of its intent to divest of its 51% ownership in the Memorial Southside Cancer Center, or Memorial. On August 31, 2011 we jointly acquired, with Ninth City Landowners, LLP, or Ninth City, NFCS’ 51% ownership. As a result of the transaction both Ninth City and we each own 50% of Memorial. The assets of the cyber knife business were distributed to NFCS in addition to cash of approximately $0.8 million, 50% of which was paid by Oncure, representing the difference in the value of the cyber knife assets distributed and the value of the 51% NFCS ownership interest in Memorial.

 

As of September 30, 2011, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $12.3 million, $206.9 million of outstanding long-term indebtedness, net of discount, and availability under our revolving credit facility of up to $40.0 million, which may be increased pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the notes and the agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Based on our current business plan, we believe that our existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our future cash requirements could be higher than we currently expect as a result of various factors. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs could be adversely affected if we suffer adverse results of operations, or if we violate the covenants and restrictions to which we are subject under our Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities is subject to general economic, political, regulatory, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and future borrowings may not be available to us under our Revolving Credit Facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt service, repay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs, and we may be required to seek additional financing through credit facilities with other lenders or institutions or seek additional capital through private placements or public offerings of equity or debt securities. No assurances can be given that we will be able to complete additional debt or equity financings on terms favorable to us or at all.

 

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $4.6 million to $11.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $15.9 million in the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable of $4.8 million and an increase of cash utilized for accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4.3 million primarily due to payment of accrued interest, offset by a decrease in net loss of $2.7 million and a decrease in cash utilized for other liabilities of $2.0 million.

 

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $1.1 million to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $0.5 million and investment in an unconsolidated joint venture of $0.4 million.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $1.3 million of fixed asset expenditures relate to the construction of a de novo cancer center in California.  The cancer center is being developed in connection with an existing physician group with which we have an existing MSA.

 

Historically, our capital expenditures have been primarily for equipment and information technology software systems and equipment. Capital expenditures for 2011, exclusive of any purchase of radiation oncology treatment centers, are expected to be in a range of $7.0 million to $8.0 million primarily related to equipment purchases and maintenance capital. To the extent that we acquire or internally develop additional radiation oncology treatment centers, we may need to increase our expected capital expenditures.

 

Cash Used In Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $1.3 million to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to payment of principle on debt and capital leases of $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to netting $206.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes in May 2010, offset by $196.6 million in debt repayments, related loan costs of approximately $9.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and repayment of capital leases of $1.3 million.

On May 13, 2010, we concluded an offering for $210.0 million of Senior Notes which will mature on May 15, 2017. The offering of the Senior Notes closed on May 13, 2010 with generated net proceeds to us of $206.3 million which were utilized to repay the outstanding balances of our senior term loan and subordinated debt along with $9.0 million of expenses of the offering. The Senior Notes are secured by the assets of the Company and our subsidiaries and are guaranteed by our subsidiaries. Prior to May 15, 2013, up to 35% of the Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company with proceeds from an equity offering at a redemption price of 111.75%.

 

Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Senior Notes, our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Oncure Medical Corp. and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a new senior secured revolving credit facility, or Revolving Credit Facility, with GE Capital Markets, Inc., as sole lead arranger and book manager, General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. The new Revolving Credit Facility provided for aggregate commitments of up to $40.0 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of $2.0 million and a swing line sub-facility of $2.0 million, and will provide for the increase, at our option, of aggregate commitments by $10.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of Prime plus 3.5% (6.75% at September 30, 2011) or LIBOR plus 4.5% (4.72% at September 30, 2011). The revolving line of credit is subject to an unused line fee of 0.75% to be paid quarterly.  The Revolving Credit Facility is undrawn as of September 30, 2011.

 

On October 26, 2011, Oncure Medical Corp., and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, entered into an amendment, or the Amendment, to the Revolving Credit Facility.  The Amendment provides that the quarterly Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio compliance test set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility is now only required to the extent that there is an outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility.  In addition, among other things, the Amendment provides that subsequently, if (i) one or more Permitted Acquisitions have occurred with a combined EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) of at least $4 million and (ii) the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) of Oncure Medical Corp. is $38 million or more, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will no longer be a maintenance test, but rather will be tested only upon a draw or issuance of a letter of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Discussion of Non-GAAP Information

 

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income as adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other income, income taxes, income from discontinued operations, non-cash equity based compensation expense, impairment loss resulting from discontinued operations, loss on interest rate swap, the management fee that we pay to Genstar and for certain other items that we believe are appropriate to manage the business and for the understanding of the reader, as detailed below. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis.

 

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industries with similar capital structures. We believe issuers of “high yield” securities also present Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it useful in measuring the ability of those issuers to meet debt service obligations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because cash expenditures for interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and income tax expense is inversely correlated to interest expense because income tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense goes up and depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.

 

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this item in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

·                  excludes certain income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

 

·                  does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

·                  does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

 

·                  does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, including the notes;

 

·                  although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

24



Table of Contents

 

·                  is adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

 

·                  other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and

 

·                  we include certain adjustments that may be recurring in nature and may not meet the GAAP definition of infrequent or unusual items, but we believe these items are appropriate to manage the business and for the understanding of the reader.

 

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

 

In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we make certain adjustments that are based on assumptions and estimates. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses, or realize benefits, similar to those adjusted in this presentation. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with the debt covenants of our revolving credit agreement and certain adjustments are subject to debt administrator concurrence.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance and our ability to service debt that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. In addition, our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Contractual Obligations

 

There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

 

Inflation

 

We are impacted by rising costs for certain inflation-sensitive operating expenses such as equipment, labor and employee benefits. We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on us, but may in the future.

 

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to various market risks as a part of our operations, and we anticipate that this exposure will increase as a result of our planned growth. In an effort to mitigate losses associated with these risks, we may at times enter into derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments may take the form of forward sales contracts, option contracts, and interest rate swaps. We have not and do not intend to engage in the practice of trading derivative securities for profit.

 

On May 13, 2010, we entered into a Credit Agreement for a revolving credit facility which provides for borrowings of up to $40.0 million in total, subject to certain restrictions.  Principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of Prime plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5%.  As of September 30, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under the facility, accordingly, there is no impact from interest rate risk related to our Credit Agreement for the revolving credit.

 

Our Senior Notes bear fixed interest rates, and therefore, would not be subject to interest rate risk.

 

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Part II

 

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

 

We are from time to time party to legal proceedings which arise in the normal course of business.

 

Pursuant to a Management Services Agreement (the “ICON MSA”), dated March 1, 2005, by and among USCC Florida Acquisition Corp., FROG Oncure Southside, LLC and Oncure Medical Corp., or collectively, OnCure Medical, and Integrated Community Oncology Network, LLC, or ICON, Oncure Medical currently provides management and administrative services to ICON in exchange for a management fee.  The ICON MSA fixed an initial term to run until October 11, 2011, but provided for an automatic renewal of the MSA for an additional five year term unless (a) there had been a material change in: (i) the management fees provided for in the ICON MSA; (ii) the management services provided pursuant to the ICON MSA; or (iii) ICON’s clinical practice, in each case resulting from action taken by OnCure Medical, and (b) ICON provided OnCure Medical 90-days notice of its intent to terminate.  On July 8, 2011, ICON notified OnCure Medical that it sought to terminate the ICON MSA effective October 11, 2011, alleging material changes in the management fees and management services under the ICON MSA as grounds for the termination.  OnCure Medical and ICON participated in mediation to resolve the matter, but were unable to reach an agreement.  Subsequently, OnCure Medical and ICON attempted to resolve the dispute pursuant to the arbitration provisions provided for in the ICON MSA.  To that end, OnCure Medical and ICON entered into a Standstill Agreement under which each agreed to continue to perform and discharge their respective obligations under the ICON MSA from the date of the Standstill Agreement until either: (i) an arbitrator issues a final award allowing ICON to terminate the ICON MSA; or (ii) the ICON MSA terminates by its own terms or by agreement of the parties.  Oncure Medical and ICON are currently engaged in arbitration.  If Oncure Medical is unsuccessful in enforcing the automatic renewal of the ICON MSA, or if it is unable to negotiate a new management services agreement with ICON on terms that are beneficial to Oncure Medical, the results of operations of the Company could be significantly impacted.

 

On October 28, 2011, we filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Shyam B. Paryani, M.D., the former Chairman of our board of directors. The complaint alleges that Mr. Paryani breached his fiduciary duties of loyalty to the Company by engaging in self-dealing, self-enrichment, and other actions materially harmful to the Company’s business operations, particularly with regard to the ICON MSA.  The complaint seeks to recover for the damages caused by Mr. Paryani’s breaches, in addition to all costs and expenses incurred in bringing the action.  We do not expect the outcome of this matter to have a material adverse affect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows when taken as a whole.

 

On November 1, 2011, ICON filed a petition for a declaratory statement from the Florida Board of Medicine.  In the petition, ICON claimed that its MSA with OnCure Medical violates federal and state law, including the Florida Anti-Fee Splitting Statute.  We intend to intervene and move to dismiss ICON’s petition.  If we are unsuccessful in dismissing ICON’s petition, and ICON receives a declaratory statement calling the legality of the MSA into question, the associated loss of net revenue from the ICON MSA could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

We are involved in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  These other matters are, in the opinion of management, immaterial both individually and in the aggregate with respect to our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Because of the uncertainties related to the incurrence, amount and range of loss on any pending litigation, investigation, inquiry or claim, management is currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome of any litigation, investigation, inquiry or claim, determine whether a liability has been incurred or make an estimate of the reasonably possible liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome.  In view of the unpredictable nature of such matters, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the outcome of any litigation, investigation, inquiry or claim to which we are a party or the impact on us of an adverse ruling in such matters.

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors

 

Our business is subject to a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. — “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, that could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity and that could cause our operating results to vary significantly from period to period. Other than the risk factor described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.

We depend on revenues generated by our affiliated physician groups from Medicare and Medicaid programs for a significant amount of our net revenue and our business could be materially harmed by any changes that result in reimbursement reductions.

 

Our affiliated physician groups’ payor mix is highly focused toward Medicare patients due to the high proportion of cancer patients over the age of 65. We estimate that approximately 46%, 44%, and 44% of our affiliated physician groups’ net revenue for fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, consisted of payments from Medicare and Medicaid. These government programs generally reimburse on a fee-for-service basis based on a predetermined reimbursement rate schedule. For Medicare, this is referred to as the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and many state Medicaid programs use a fixed percentage of the Medicare fee schedule as a basis for their reimbursement rate schedule. Medicare reimbursement rates under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule are updated on an annual basis using a statutory formula that is applied to all physician specialties. Under the existing statutory formula, payments for the past several years would have decreased without congressional intervention and extensions. For 2010, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, projected a rate reduction of 21.2% from 2009 to 2010 levels (and projected to be a 24.9 percent reduction for 2011) under the statutory formula. Therefore, a number of interim measures were passed to avoid the decrease for 2010, and from June through December 2010, the update factor was increased by 2.2 percent.  For 2011, the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 which was signed into law on December 15, 2010, froze the 2010 updates through 2011.  Without Congressional intervention, CMS projects a rate reduction of 27.4 percent starting January 1, 2012.  President Obama’s budget for fiscal year 2012 includes measures that would freeze the update factor for an additional two years.  If Congress fails to intervene to prevent the negative update factor for future years through either another temporary measure or a permanent revision to the statutory formula, the resulting decrease in payment will adversely impact our revenues and results of operations.

 

Effective January 1, 2011, CMS made further adjustments to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule to increase aggregate payments for those physician specialties that have a higher proportion of their payment rates attributable to operating expenses such as equipment and supplies, which includes radiation oncology. In addition, as a result of adjustments to billing codes identified to be misvalued, radiation oncology specialties are also among the entities that will experience decreases in aggregate payment for this reason. Some of these changes will be transitioned over several years, and CMS estimates that the combined impact of both the increases and decreases for 2011 will be no net reduction in radiation oncology payments.  For 2012, CMS estimates that the combined impact will be a negative 6 percent reduction in radiation oncology payments.  At this time, we do not believe that the regulatory changes will have a material impact on our future revenues.

 

If our affiliated physician groups terminate or decline to renew their management services agreements, or MSAs, with us, we could be seriously harmed.

 

The MSAs we enter into with our affiliated physician groups are the result of arms’ length negotiations. Under certain circumstances, the affiliated physician groups are permitted, and may attempt, to terminate their MSAs with us. For example, an MSA can generally be terminated if we commence a voluntary or involuntary case of bankruptcy, fail to perform our duties and responsibilities under the MSA which breaches a material term or condition of the MSA and fail to cure such breach within a specified period, withdraw from participation in the Medicare program, or breach representations and warranties made by us in the MSAs. If any of the larger affiliated physician groups were to succeed in such a termination, our business could be seriously harmed. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 37% of our net revenue came from management fees earned from two of our affiliated physician groups, one of which, the ICON MSA, represents 13% of our revenue and was to automatically renew in 2011 and expire in 2016, and one of which represents 24% of our revenue and expires in 2016. We may in the future have disputes with physician and/or affiliated physician groups that could result in harmful changes to our relationship with them or a termination of an MSA. Likewise, to the extent that our MSAs with affiliated physician groups expire and are not renewed, our business may be adversely affected. Our 14 MSAs are scheduled to expire periodically between 2011 and 2023, with no more than two expiring in any given year, except 2016 when four will expire.

 

Pursuant to the ICON MSA, Oncure Medical currently provides management and administrative services to ICON in exchange for a management fee.  The ICON MSA fixed an initial term to run until October 11, 2011, but provided for an automatic renewal of the MSA for an additional five year term unless (a) there had been a material change in: (i) the management fees provided for in the ICON MSA; (ii) the management services provided pursuant to the ICON MSA; or (iii) ICON’s clinical practice, in each case resulting from action taken by OnCure Medical, and (b) ICON provided OnCure Medical 90-days notice of its intent to terminate.  On July 8, 2011, ICON notified OnCure Medical that it sought to terminate the ICON MSA effective October 11, 2011, alleging material changes in the management fees and management services under the ICON MSA as grounds for the termination.  OnCure Medical and ICON participated in mediation to resolve the matter, but were unable to reach an agreement.  Subsequently, OnCure Medical and ICON attempted to resolve the dispute pursuant to the arbitration provisions provided for in the ICON MSA.  To that end, OnCure Medical and ICON entered into a Standstill Agreement under which each agreed to continue to perform and discharge their respective obligations under the ICON MSA from the date of the Standstill Agreement until either: (i) an arbitrator issues a final award allowing ICON to terminate the ICON MSA; or (ii) the ICON MSA terminates by its own terms or by agreement of the parties.

Oncure Medical and ICON are currently engaged in arbitration.  If Oncure Medical is unsuccessful in enforcing the automatic renewal of the ICON MSA, or if it is unable to negotiate a new management services agreement with ICON on terms that are beneficial to Oncure Medical, the results of operations of the Company could be significantly impacted.

 

Our business could be materially harmed by future interpretation or implementation of state laws regarding prohibitions on fee-splitting.

 

The states in which we operate prohibit the splitting or sharing of fees between physicians and non-physicians. These laws vary from state to state and are enforced by courts and regulatory agencies, each with broad discretion. Some states have interpreted certain types of fee arrangements in management services agreements between entities and physicians as unlawful fee-splitting. If regulatory authorities or other parties successfully asserted a fee-splitting claim in any jurisdiction, we, our affiliated physician groups and their physicians could be subject to civil and criminal penalties and we could be required to restructure our MSAs. Any restructuring of MSAs with affiliated physician groups could result in lower net revenue from such physician groups.  Alternatively, some of our MSAs could be found to be illegal and unenforceable, which could result in the termination of those MSAs and an associated loss of net revenue which could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  On November 1, 2011, ICON filed a petition for a declaratory statement from the Florida Board of Medicine.  In the petition, ICON claimed that its MSA with OnCure Medical violates federal and state law, including the Florida Anti-Fee Splitting Statute.  We intend to intervene and move to dismiss ICON’s petition.  If we are unsuccessful in dismissing ICON’s petition, and ICON receives a declaratory statement calling the legality of the MSA into question, the associated loss of net revenue from the ICON MSA could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In addition, expansion of our operations to other states with certain types of fee-splitting prohibitions may require structural and organizational modification to the form of relationships that we currently have with physicians, professional corporations and hospitals.

 

Reforms to the United States healthcare system may adversely affect our business.

 

A significant portion of the volume at our treatment centers is derived from government healthcare programs, principally Medicare and Medicaid, which are highly regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes. We estimate that approximately 44% of our affiliated physician groups’ 2010 revenue was derived from government healthcare programs. National healthcare reform remains a focus at the federal level. In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “PPACA”).

 

We anticipate that changes mandated by PPACA will continue to significantly affect how the healthcare industry operates with respect to Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance. Specifically, PPACA contains a number of provisions which impact existing government healthcare programs, with a focus on cost-containment, including, among other things, more stringent program integrity measures, new Medicare enrollment criteria and reimbursement changes. PPACA also includes provisions for new payment models, Medicare payment for performance initiatives and improvements to the physician quality reporting system and feedback program. In addition, the legislation expands coverage to more individuals, but the mandatory purchase of insurance have been strenuously opposed by a number of state governors, resulting in their pressing lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of certain provisions of PPACA, and many of these challenges are still pending final adjudication in several jurisdictions, including in the United States Supreme Court. Congress has also proposed a number of legislative initiatives, including possible repeal of PPACA. At this time, it remains unclear whether there will be any changes made to PPACA, whether to certain provisions or its entirety.

 

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the PPACA was enacted.  Most recently, on August 2, 2011, the President signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which, among other things, creates the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to recommend proposals in spending reductions to Congress.  In the event that the Joint Select Committee is unable to achieve a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, or Congress does not act on the committee’s recommendation, without amendment, by December 23, 2011, an automatic reduction is triggered.  These automatic cuts would be made to several government programs and, with respect to Medicare, would include aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year, starting in 2013. We can give no assurance that the PPACA will not adversely affect our business and financial results, and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform would affect our business.

 

We depend on our executive management and we may be materially harmed if we lose any member of our executive management.

 

Our business is dependent on our ability to retain, hire and motivate talented, highly skilled personnel, including members of our executive management team.  We do not carry key-man life insurance on our executive management team and the loss of key personnel or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.  A decision by any of our executive management team to leave our employ, to compete with us or to reduce his involvement on our behalf, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

On July 8, 2011, Dr. Shyam B. Paryani resigned from the Company’s board of directors, including as Chairman of the board of directors.  Separately, on August 29, 2011, L. Duane Choate resigned from his positions as President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company effective as of November 1, 2011.  The Company’s board of directors has appointed James D. Nadauld, a current director, to act as Chairman of the board of directors and as interim President and Chief Executive OfficerThe Company’s board of directors has initiated a formal search for a new President and Chief Executive Officer, however, replacing Mr. Choate could be difficult, time consuming and costly.  Our failure to effectuate a smooth transition with respect to the resignations of Mr. Choate and Dr. Paryani could have a material adverse effect on our business.
