Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, includes or may include “forward-looking statements.” All statements included herein, other than statements of historical fact, may constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should” or “could.” Generally, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” “plans” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Although CRC Health Corporation (“CRC”) believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following factors: our substantial indebtedness; unfavorable economic conditions that have and could continue to negatively impact our revenues; the failure to comply with extensive laws and governmental regulations given the highly regulated industry in which we operate and the ever changing nature of these laws and regulations; changes in reimbursement rates for services provided; the significant economic contribution that certain regions and programs have to our operating results; claims and legal actions by patients, students, employees and others; failure to cultivate new, or maintain existing relationships with patient referral sources; competition; shortage in qualified healthcare workers; our employees election of union representation; difficult, costly or unsuccessful integrations of acquisitions; the material weakness in our controls over financial reporting and other risks that are described in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed on March 30, 2012, and that are otherwise described from time to time in CRC’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings after this Quarterly Report. CRC assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

CRC HEALTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Overview

CRC Health Corporation (“the Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of CRC Health Group, Inc., referred to as “the Group” or “the Parent.” The Company is headquartered in Cupertino, California, and through its wholly owned subsidiaries provides treatment services related to substance abuse, troubled youth and other addiction diseases and behavioral disorders.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, without audit. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from our audited financial statements.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, its results of operations, and its cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Principles of Consolidation — The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRC Health Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates — Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications: Discontinued Operations — The condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the presentation of closed or sold facilities as discontinued operations (see Note 9). Unless noted otherwise, discussions in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

Presentation and Disclosure Corrections — The Company determined that:

 

   

Interest income of $177,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, previously included in the line item interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 should be included in the line item other income. Accordingly, the presentation in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 has been corrected.

 

   

Purchases of property and equipment included in accounts payable of $562,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, should have been presented and disclosed as a noncash investing activity. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 has been corrected as follows (in thousands):

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance — The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-07, Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities, issued in July 2011, which required certain health care entities to change the presentation of their statements of operations by reclassifying the provision for bad debts associated with patient service revenue from operating expenses to a reduction in patient service revenue, if they recognize a significant portion of patient service revenue at the time services are rendered even though the entities do not assess the patient’s ability to pay. All other entities would continue to present the provision for bad debts as an operating expense. The updated guidance also requires disclosures about major payor sources of patient service revenue as well as qualitative and quantitative information about changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The adoption of the new guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. INCOME TAXES

The Company calculates its income tax expense for interim periods by applying the full year’s estimated effective tax rate to its financial statements for interim periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company’s income tax expense on continuing operations was $1.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 44.9%. The effective tax rate on continued operations differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily because of state income taxes and accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company’s income tax expense on continuing operations was $1.0 million, representing an effective tax rate of 36.0%. The effective tax rate differs from U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes.

The Company files its income tax returns in various jurisdictions, including the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. The Company is currently under examination by various state jurisdictions. There are different interpretations of tax laws and regulations and, as a result, significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions. While the Company believes its positions comply with applicable laws, it periodically evaluates its exposures associated with its tax filing positions.

Term Loans

On March 7, 2012, the aggregate principal amount of $80.9 million of Term Loans (the “Term Loans B-1”) was refinanced with cash proceeds (net of related fees and expenses) of an aggregate principal amount of $87.6 million of new Term Loans that mature on November 16, 2015 (the “Term Loans B-3”). New creditors and existing Term Loans B-1 creditors represented $67.0 million and $20.6 million of the Term Loans B-3 principal amount, respectively. Of the $20.6 million related to existing creditors, $6.1 million was contributed as additional Term Loan B-3 principal. As a part of the refinancing, the Company repaid $66.4 million of the aggregate principal Term Loans B-1. This repayment was recognized as an extinguishment of debt and $0.2 million of the remaining unamortized issuance costs related to Term Loans B-1 were charged to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company recognized the refinancing of the remaining aggregate principal amount of $14.5 million with existing Term Loans B-1 creditors as a modification of debt. Refinancing costs of $0.5 million associated with the modified debt were charged to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The remaining debt issuance costs of $2.2 million related to the refinancing were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the Term Loans B-3 using the effective interest rate method. The Term Loans B-3 were issued with an original issue discount of 4.00% which is being amortized over the term of the Term Loans B-3 using the effective interest rate method.

At March 31, 2012, an aggregate principal amount of $82.6 million, net of discount of $3.4 million, was outstanding. Interest on the Term Loans B-3 is payable quarterly at: (i) for LIBOR loans for any interest period, a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate as determined by the administrative agent (but not less than 1.50%), plus an applicable margin of 7.00%, subject to an increase to 8.00% during any period that the Company’s public corporate family rating from Moody’s is not at least B3 or the Company’s public corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) is not at least B-, and (ii) for base rate loans, a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the prime rate of the administrative agent and (y) the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1.00% (but, in either case, not less than 2.50%), plus an applicable margin of 6.00%, subject to an increase to 7.00% during any period that the Company’s public corporate family rating from Moody’s is not at least B3 or the Company’s public corporate rating credit rating from S&P is not at least B-. At March 31, 2012, the entire amount of these Term Loan B-3 consisted of LIBOR loans and the interest rate thereon was 8.5%.

The Term Loans B-3 are payable in quarterly installments of less than $0.1 million on September 30, 2013 and $0.2 million over the payment period between December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2015, with the remainder due on the maturity date.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring or Non-Recurring Basis

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable net, accounts payable, loan program notes receivable (net), senior subordinated notes (net), and term loans (net). With the exception of financial instruments noted in the following table, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.

   $ 385,182       $ 396,140       $ 388,664       $ 370,268   

The estimated fair value for loan program notes is primarily based on securitization market conditions for similar loans. The Company’s senior subordinated notes are measured at fair value based on bond-yield data from market trading activity as well as U.S Treasury rates with similar maturities as the senior subordinated notes. The Company’s term loans are measured at fair value based on present value methods using credit spreads derived from market data to discount the projected interest and principal payments. For the year ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the estimated fair value of loan program notes, senior subordinated notes and term loans was determined based on Level 3 inputs.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation — In a complaint initially filed on July 6, 2011, and amended on August 25, 2011, in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Oregon, 17 former students of one of our previously closed therapeutic boarding school facilities allege mental and physical abuse by certain former employees or agents of the school. The Company and CRC Health Oregon, Inc. are among the defendants in the pending litigation. The plaintiffs seek a total of $26.0 million in relief. A second suit was filed in November in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Oregon by 14 former students also alleging abuse. The plaintiffs seek a total of $23.0 million in relief. The Company and the other defendants intend to defend vigorously the pending lawsuits. In consultation with counsel and based on its preliminary investigation into the facts alleged, the Company believe this case is without merit. However, at this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, after consideration of the extent of insurance coverage associated with the resolution of the lawsuit or any potential effect it may have on the Company or its operations. On May 10, 2012, Nautilus Insurance Corporation, filed a complaint against CRC Health Group, Inc. and certain related entities seeking declaratory relief in the federal district court in Portland, Oregon. The Complaint seeks a judicial determination as to whether the Nautilus general and healthcare professional liability insurance policies provide coverage for these suits against Mount Bachelor Academy and asks the court to enter judgment that the policies are null and void, or alternatively that the policies do not cover these specific lawsuits, and to declare that Nautilus has no duty to defend or indemnify Mount Bachelor Academy, Aspen or CRC. The Company is working with counsel to evaluate this matter but intends to vigorously defend this matter.

In 2011, two actions were brought against the Company’s New Life Lodge facility. One suit alleges negligence and medical malpractice resulting in wrongful death and seeks a total $32.0 million in compensatory and punitive damages. The second suit is a medical malpractice action for alleged wrongful death and seeks $13.0 million in compensatory and punitive damages. The Company intends to defend vigorously the pending lawsuits. In consultation with counsel and based on its preliminary investigation into the facts alleged, the Company believes these cases are without merit. However, at this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, after consideration of the extent of insurance coverage associated with the resolution of the lawsuit or any potential effect it may have on the Company or its operations.

The Company is involved in litigation and regulatory investigations arising in the course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management estimates that these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position or results from operations and cash flows.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company incurs stock-based compensation expense related to the equity awards made by the Group to employees and consultants of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded within salaries and benefits on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had 3,737,521 and 3,736,359 unvested option shares with per-share, weighted average grant date fair values of $3.37 and $3.32, respectively.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Unless the context otherwise requires, in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms “our company,” “we,” “us,” “the Company” and “our” refer to CRC Health Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading provider of treatment services related to substance abuse, troubled youth, and other addiction diseases and behavioral disorders. We deliver our services through our three divisions: recovery, youth and weight management. Our recovery division provides substance abuse and behavioral disorder treatment services through our residential treatment facilities and outpatient treatment clinics. Our youth division provides therapeutic educational programs to underachieving young people through residential schools and outdoor programs. Our weight management division provides treatment services through adolescent and adult weight management programs as well as eating disorder facilities.

As of March 31, 2012 our recovery division, operated 30 inpatient, 16 outpatient facilities, and 57 comprehensive treatment centers (“CTCs”) in 21 states. Our youth division, operated 16 adolescent and young adult programs in 6 states. Our weight management division operated 18 facilities in 8 states, and one in the United Kingdom.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 we generated $108.9 million in net revenues, an increase of $3.0 million or 3%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to revenue increases of 14% in our youth division and a 2% increase in our recovery division, partially offset by a 11% decrease in our weight management division. Operating income was flat year over year due to an increase in our operating expenses of $3.1 million or 3%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we generated approximately 79% of our net revenue from non-governmental sources, including 56% and 57% from self-payors, respectively, and 23% and 22% from commercial payors, respectively. Our government program net revenue was received from multiple counties and states under Medicaid and similar programs.

On March 7, 2012, we entered into an amendment agreement that amended our Credit Agreement to refinance $80.9 million of our term loans maturing on February 6, 2013 with cash proceeds (net of related fees and expenses) from a new tranche of term loans. As a result of this agreement, all term loans under our senior secured credit facility will mature on November 16, 2015. See Note 4 to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

General

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue and expenses. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our senior management has reviewed our critical accounting policies and their application in the preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures and discussed the development, selection and disclosure of significant estimates. To the extent that actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected. We believe that there have not been any significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the items that we have previously reported in our critical accounting policies in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Recovery

Net revenues increased $1.6 million or 2% primarily due to a $2.6 million increase from CTCs, offset by a $1.0 million decrease from residential facilities. The CTCs increased due to increases in patient days and net revenue per patient days. Residential facilities decreased primarily due to a suspension of admissions at one of our residential facilities in Tennessee partially offset by an increase in revenues from our commercial payor programs. In March 2012, we received notice that the admission suspension would not be extended and we re-opened the facility in April 2012.

Operating income decreased by $3.1 million or 11% due to an increase of $4.8 million or 8% in operating expenses. This increase was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits resulting from higher levels of revenues as well as from investments in sales and marketing and clinical quality management.

Youth

Net revenues increased by $2.0 million or 14% due to a $1.0 million increase in residential facilities and a $1.0 million increase in outdoor programs. Residential program revenues increased primarily due to an increase in the number of patient days. Outdoor programs increased due to an increase in both patient days and net revenue per patient day primarily due to lower discounting of rates.

Operating income increased by $3.7 million due to a decrease in operating expenses of $1.7 million or 9%. This increase was primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in asset impairments relative to the prior period.

 

26


Table of Contents

Weight Management

Net revenues decreased by $0.6 million or 11% primarily due to a decrease in patient days and a decrease in net revenues per patient day.

Operating income decreased by $1.2 million due to an increase in operating expenses of $0.6 million or 11%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits and in the provision for doubtful accounts.

Corporate

Operating income increased by $0.5 million or 5% due to a decrease in fees and other expenses.

Interest expense

Interest expense includes interest paid on our debt, amortization of debt discount, and capitalized financing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, interest expense decreased by $0.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to lower outstanding debt during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Income tax expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our income tax expense on continuing operations is $1.2 million, representing effective tax rate of 44.9%. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our income tax expense on continuing operations was $1.0 million, representing an effective tax rate of 36.0%. The increase in the effective income tax rate, year over year, was primarily due to an increase in interest expense associated with uncertain tax positions as well as an increase in state taxes as a result of an intra-period allocation of income between continuing and discontinued operations.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, decreased by $1.8 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease is due to no additional facilities being classified as discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our principal sources of liquidity for operating activities are payments from self-pay patients, students, commercial payors and government programs for treatment services, and our revolving line of credit. We receive most of our cash from self-payors in advance or upon completion of treatment. Cash revenue from commercial payors and government programs is typically received upon delivery of treatment services.

Cash provided by operating activities was $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $6.7 million during the same period in 2011. The increase of $2.3 million was primarily due to generation of cash from changes in receivables, income taxes payable/receivable, accounts payable and other long-term assets and liabilities offset by prepaids.

Table of Contents

Cash used in investing activities was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $4.4 million during the same period of 2011. The decrease of $1.1 million was due to a decrease in capital expenditures.

Cash used in financing activities was $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $2.6 million during the same period in 2011. The increase of $3.6 million was primarily due to higher long term debt payments of $5.7 million offset by decreases in share repurchases of $0.5 million and capitalized financing costs of $1.5 million.

Financing and Liquidity

We anticipate that cash generated by current operations, funds available under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility and existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, service our debt and finance capital expenditures over the next 12 months.

Credit Agreements — Please refer to Note 4 to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion about our long-term borrowing arrangements.

Under the terms of our borrowing arrangements, we are required to comply with various covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, the calculations of which are based on Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our credit agreements. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all such covenants. A breach of these could result in a default under our credit facilities and in our being unable to borrow additional amounts under our revolving credit facility. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed under our credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and the lenders under our term loans and revolving credit facility could proceed against the collateral securing the indebtedness.

The computation of Adjusted EBITDA is provided below solely to provide an understanding of the impact that Adjusted EBITDA has on our ability to comply with certain covenants in our borrowing arrangements that are tied to these measures and to borrow under the credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities (which are determined in accordance with GAAP) and is not being presented as an indicator of operating performance or a measure of liquidity. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, such measures may not be comparable to our Adjusted EBITDA.

Off-Balance Sheet Obligations

As of March 31, 2012, our off-balance sheet obligations consisted of $9.4 million in letters of credit and $0.5 million in loan purchase commitments related to our Loan Program.

Obligations and Commitments

The following items represent material changes in our specified contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2012 (see Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements), compared to the contractual obligations table included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011:

 

   

As a result of the refinancing of a portion of our Term Loans on March 7, 2012, aggregate principal of $87.6 million of the Term Loans B-3 now matures on November 16, 2015. Before the refinancing, $80.9 of Term Loans B-1 were payable on maturity on February 6, 2013.

 

   

Upon its maturity in February 2012, we repaid $13.5 million of the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We subsequently borrowed $13.0 million under the remaining available revolving line of credit which matures on August 16, 2015.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2011.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Background

On August 16, 2011, the Company announced that it was conducting a review of inconsistencies in the accounts at one of its recovery residential treatment facilities (the “Facility”). On October 4, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) and management, adopted the conclusions of the investigation and concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, along with the accompanying independent auditors’ reports and its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 should not be relied upon because of errors identified in such financial statements.

Management initially identified certain errors upon initiating an internal investigation after noting inconsistencies in accounting for certain transactions at the Facility. Following a briefing by management on the issues, the Audit Committee hired independent counsel to conduct a review of accounting transactions at the Facility. The investigation identified issues related to misconduct by a former employee as well as errors in accounting for revenue, accounts receivable, bad debt expenses and general expenses. As a result of these errors, the Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, including the quarterly data for the years 2009 and 2010, and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated 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 report. This evaluation identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as noted below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Based on the evaluation of this material weakness, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of its financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based upon that reevaluation, management identified a material weakness as of December 31, 2011 in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness is the result of a combination of control deficiencies identified at facilities with manual accounting procedures. More specifically, weaknesses were identified relative to revenue recognition and the accounting for accounts receivable, the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued expenses and prepaid assets as well as issues relating to lack of segregation of duties.

As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012 based on the COSO framework. If not remediated, this material weakness could result in future misstatements of account balances or in disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements.

Plan for Remediation of the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has been actively engaged in remediation of the material weakness. These remediation efforts are intended both to address the identified material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment. Management has i.) added new and more experienced staff, ii.) instituted training for accounting and finance personnel, iii.) begun the process of reviewing the processes and procedures, including appropriate segregation of duties, surrounding revenue recognition and accounting for accounts receivable, the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued expenses, prepaid assets and other matters as deemed appropriate, iv.) improved the processes over reconciliations of the general ledger and v.) begun the evaluation of relevant accounting policies and procedures to ensure that they are documented and standardized across the Company, circulated to the appropriate constituencies and reviewed and updated on a periodic basis. Management reports, periodically, to the Audit Committee on the progress of the remediation plan.

Management believes the measures described above and others that will be implemented will remediate the control deficiencies that we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. As management continues to evaluate and improve internal control over financial reporting, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In a complaint initially filed on July 6, 2011, and amended on August 25, 2011, in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Oregon, 17 former students of one of our previously closed therapeutic boarding school facilities allege mental and physical abuse by certain former employees or agents of the school. We and our subsidiary, CRC Health Oregon, Inc., are among the defendants in the pending litigation. The plaintiffs seek a total of $26.0 million in relief. A second suit was filed in November in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Oregon by 14 former students also alleging abuse. The plaintiffs seek a total of $23 million in relief. We and the other defendants intend to defend vigorously the pending lawsuit. In consultation with counsel and based on our preliminary investigation into the facts alleged, we believe this case is without merit. However, at this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, after consideration of the extent of insurance coverage associated with the resolution of the lawsuit or any potential effect it may have on us or our operations. On May 10, 2012, Nautilus Insurance Corporation, filed a complaint against CRC Health Group Inc. and certain related entities seeking declaratory relief in the federal district court in Portland, Oregon. The Complaint seeks a judicial determination as to whether the Nautilus general and healthcare professional liability insurance policies provide coverage for these suits against Mount Bachelor Academy and asks the court to enter judgment that the policies are null and void, or alternatively that the policies do not cover these specific lawsuits, and to declare that Nautilus has no duty to defend or indemnify Mount Bachelor Academy, Aspen or CRC. We are working with counsel to evaluate this matter but intend to vigorously defend this matter.

In 2011, two actions were brought against our New Life Lodge facility. One suit alleges negligence and medical malpractice resulting in wrongful death and seeks a total $32.0 million in compensatory and punitive damages. The second suit is a medical malpractice action for alleged wrongful death and seeks $13.0 million in compensatory and punitive damages. We intend to defend vigorously the pending lawsuits. In consultation with counsel and based on our preliminary investigation into the facts alleged, we believe these cases are without merit. However, at this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, after consideration of the extent of insurance coverage associated with the resolution of the lawsuit or any potential effect it may have on us or our operations.

We are involved in other litigation and regulatory investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management estimates that these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the our future financial position or results from operations and cash flows, except as discussed above.
