ALMOST FAMILY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Unless otherwise indicated, all dollars and share amounts are in thousands)

 

1.             Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q is referred to Almost Family, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further information. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2012, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS.  The amendments in ASU 2011-04 change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  ASU 2011-08 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not impact the consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 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.  Under ASU 2011-07, only health care organizations (HCOs) that do not assess the collectability of a receivable before recognizing revenue will present their provision for bad debt related to patient service revenue as a deduction from revenue on the face of the statement of operations.  ASU 2011-07 also requires and expands qualitative and quantitative disclosures about changes in the allowance.  For certain HCOs, the guidance may result in the provision for bad debts being presented in two separate lines, a contra-revenue line for bad debts related to patient services and an expense line for bad debts related to all other sources of income.  The amendments to the presentation of the provision for bad debts related to patient service revenue in the statement of operations are applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented, while required disclosures are provided prospectively.  ASU 2011-07 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012.  The adoption of this standard did not impact the consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not recognize significant revenue without assessing a customer’s ability to pay.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08: Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which amends current guidance to allow companies to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. ASU 2011-08 was effective for the

Table of Contents

 

Company beginning January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not impact the consolidated financial statements.

 

Financial Statement Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 2011 consolidated financial statements and related notes in order to conform to the 2012 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

 

2.           Segment Data

 

The Company has two reportable segments, Visiting Nurse (VN) and Personal Care (PC), and has service locations in Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Missouri, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania.  Reportable segments have been identified based upon how management has organized the business by services provided to customers and the criteria in ASC 280, Segment Reporting.  The Company does not allocate certain expenses to the reportable segments.  These expenses are included in corporate expenses below.

 

The VN segment provides skilled medical services in patients’ homes largely to enable recipients to reduce or avoid periods of hospitalization and/or nursing home care. VN Medicare revenues are generated on a per episode basis rather than a fee per visit or day of care. Approximately 91% of the VN segment revenues are generated from the Medicare program while the balance is generated from Medicaid and private insurance programs.

 

The PC segment services are also provided in patients’ homes. These services (generally provided by paraprofessional staff such as home health aides) are generally of a custodial rather than skilled nature. PC revenues are generated on an hourly basis. Approximately 86% of the PC segment revenues are generated from Medicaid and other government programs while the balance is generated from insurance programs and private pay patients.

3.             Capitalized Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes the cost of internally generated computer software developed for the Company’s own use. Software development costs of approximately $118 and $143 were capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $276 and $297 were capitalized in the six months ended

Table of Contents

 

June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over a three-year period following the initial implementation of the software.

 

4.             Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired are stated at fair value at date of acquisition.  Subsequent to its acquisitions, the Company conducts annual reviews for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.  Other intangible assets consist of certificates of need and licenses, trade names and non-compete agreements.  Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.  Licenses, provider numbers, certificates of need and trade names have indefinite lives and are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  The Company completed its most recent annual impairment test as of December 31, 2011 and determined that no impairment existed.

 

The following table summarizes the activity related to goodwill and other intangible assets for 2012:

Of total goodwill, $102,190 and $30,906 relates to the VN segment and the PC segment, respectively.  Current period additions are preliminary purchase price related adjustments for the Company’s August 2011 acquisition of Cambridge Home Health Care Holdings, Inc. (Cambridge Acquisition).  Amortization expense recognized on finite-lived intangible assets for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 was $17 and $18, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $33 and $45, respectively.

 

5.             Revolving Credit Facility

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company had a $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, as Syndication Agent and certain other lenders (the “Facility”).  The Facility consists of a $125 million credit line with a maturity date of December 2, 2015 and an “accordion” feature providing for potential future expansion of the Facility to $175 million.  Borrowings (other than letters of credit) under the credit facility are at either the bank’s prime rate plus a margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, currently 1.25%) or LIBOR plus a margin (ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%, currently 2.25%).  The margin for prime rate or LIBOR borrowings is determined by the Company’s leverage.  Borrowings under the Facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, and all existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors.

 

The weighted average prime rate-based interest rate was 4.50% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  The weighted average LIBOR rates were 2.72% and 2.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee of 0.30% to 0.50% on the average daily unused facility balance based on leverage. Borrowings are subject to various covenants including a multiple of 3.0 times earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).  “EBITDA” may include “Acquired EBITDA” from pro-forma acquisitions pursuant to a calculation rider, up to 50% of “Adjusted EBITDA”, as defined.  Borrowings under the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. As of June 30, 2012, the formula permitted all $125 million to be used, of which no amounts were outstanding.  The Company had irrevocable letters of credit totaling $6.4 million outstanding in connection with the Company’s self-insurance programs, which resulted in

a total of $118.6 million being available for use at June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the Facility’s various financial covenants. Under the most restrictive of its covenants, the Company was required to maintain minimum net worth of at least $152.6 million at June 30, 2012.  At such date, the Company’s net worth was approximately $214.6 million.

 

6.             Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, payables and debt instruments.  The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and payables are considered representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The fair value of the Company’s debt instruments approximates their carrying values as substantially all of such debt instruments have rates which fluctuate with changes in market rates.  The Company does not have any assets or liabilities carried at fair  value that are measured on a recurring basis.

 

7.             Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company issues both restricted share and option awards to employees and non-employee directors.  Restricted share awards cliff vest on the third anniversary, while option share awards vest annually in 25% increments over four years.  Stock option grant date fair values are determined at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo option valuation model with suboptimal exercise behavior.  Changes in awards outstanding are summarized as follows:

Insurance Programs

 

The Company bears significant insurance risk under its large-deductible workers’ compensation insurance program and its self-insured employee health program.  Under the workers’ compensation insurance program,

Table of Contents

 

the Company bears risk up to $400 per incident, after which stop-loss coverage is maintained.  The Company purchases stop-loss insurance for the employee health plan that places a specific limit, generally $100, on its exposure for any individual covered life.

 

Malpractice and general patient liability claims for incidents which may give rise to litigation have been asserted against the Company by various claimants.  The claims are in various stages of processing and some may ultimately be brought to trial.  The Company is aware of incidents that have occurred through June 30, 2012 that may result in the assertion of additional claims.  The Company currently carries professional and general liability insurance coverage (on a claims made basis) for this exposure with no deductible.  The Company also carries D&O coverage (also on a claims made basis) for potential claims against the Company’s directors and officers, including certain securities actions, with deductibles ranging from $100 to $250 per claim.

 

The Company records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, the life cycle of claims, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims.  The Company monitors its estimated insurance-related liabilities and recoveries, if any, on a monthly basis and as required by ASU 2010-24, has recorded amounts due under insurance policies in other current assets, while recording the estimated carrier liability in other current liabilities.  As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

Legal Proceedings & Investigations

 

The Company is currently, and from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of its business, including claims for damages for personal injuries.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of any of these ordinary course pending claims and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In addition as previously disclosed, the Company had previously been advised that a relator had filed a False Claims Act qui tam complaint regarding our visiting nurse operations in Birmingham, Alabama, and a different relator had filed a False Claims Act qui tam complaint regarding our Medicare practices at facilities in Tampa, Florida.  Following decisions by the Department of Justice not to join the cases, in April 2012, the Company was advised that the relators in both cases voluntarily filed for dismissal without prejudice, to which the government consented.  As a result, the Court dismissed both cases without prejudice in April 2012.

 

As previously disclosed, the Company received a notice of investigation and a civil subpoena for documents from the Securities and Exchange Commission in June 2010.  The Company and its officers and directors responded to additional document requests from the SEC Staff in the fall of 2011. In January 2012, the Staff took testimony of several officers and directors primarily with respect to their sales of common stock of the Company during May 2010.

 

As previously disclosed, four derivative complaints have been filed in Jefferson Circuit Court, Kentucky, against the members of the Company’s board of directors and chief financial officer. All four lawsuits named the Company as a nominal defendant.  All of the complaints refer to an April 27, 2010 The Wall Street Journal article and the subsequent governmental investigations.  On February 13, 2012, the independent directors filed a motion to dismiss the complaint because the plaintiffs failed to make any demand on the Board.  The motion has been fully briefed.  On July 27, 2012, oral arguments on the motion were made before the Court with a ruling expected in the near future.

 

As previously disclosed, a fifth derivative complaint involving Richard W. Carey was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky.  The lawsuit names the Company as a nominal defendant and is substantially duplicative of the derivative complaint pending in the Jefferson Circuit Court.  The Court granted the defendants’ motion to stay the lawsuit pending further order of the Court.

 

The Company is unable to assess the probable outcome or potential liability, if any, arising from these unresolved matters.

10.                               Acquisitions

 

There were no new acquisitions in the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  The Company has finalized the purchase accounting for the April 1, 2011 acquisition in Cincinnati, Ohio.  There was no material change to the allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities.  The Cambridge Acquisition purchase price allocation remains preliminary.

 

11.                               Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.  The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately 39.5% and 40.2%, respectively, and 38.8% and 40.3%, respectively.  The change in rate was primarily due to a lower state tax rate from the Cambridge Acquisition in August 2011, while the six month period for 2012 also included the one-time benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance in conjunction with tax planning strategies completed during the first quarter of 2012.

 

Certain tax authorities may periodically audit the Company.  Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company concluded that no significant uncertain tax positions require recognition in the financial statements. Additionally, the Company may from time to time be assessed interest and penalties by tax jurisdictions.  Any such assessments historically have been immaterial to the Company’s financial results and are classified as other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

 

12.                               Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2012.  The Company had no material subsequent events requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

Operating Segments

 

We have two reportable segments, Visiting Nurse (VN) and Personal Care (PC), and have service locations in Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Missouri, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania (in order of revenue significance).  Reportable segments have been identified based upon how management has organized the business by services provided to customers and the criteria in ASC 280, Segment Reporting.

 

Our VN segment provides skilled medical services in patients’ homes largely to enable recipients to reduce or avoid periods of hospitalization and/or nursing home care.  VN Medicare revenues are generated on a per episode basis rather than a fee per visit or day of care. Approximately 91% of the VN segment revenues are generated from the Medicare program while the balance is generated from Medicaid and private insurance programs.

 

Our PC segment services are also provided in patients’ homes.  These services (generally provided by paraprofessional staff such as home health aides) are generally of a custodial rather than skilled nature. PC revenues are generated on an hourly basis.  Approximately 86% of the PC segment revenues are generated from Medicaid and other government programs while the balance is generated from insurance programs and private pay patients.

 

Certain general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level have not been allocated to the segments.

 

Health Care Reform Legislation and Medicare Regulations

 

The reader is encouraged to review our detailed discussion of Health Care Reform and Medicare Regulations in the similarly titled section in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2011 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 on file with the SEC.

 

On July 8, 2012, CMS issued the proposed rule for 2013 home health payment rates (2013 Proposed Rule). Among other changes, the 2013 Proposed Rule includes:

·                  A 2.5% Market Basket Index (MBI) update,

·                  A 1% reduction required under the Affordable Care Act and,

·                  A 1.32% case mix creep adjustment

 

Absent further changes, based on current law, which includes sequestration, and the 2013 Proposed Rule, we expect our 2013 Medicare episodic rate reduction to range from 2.0% to 2.7%.

Governmental Inquiries and Shareholder Litigation

 

See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements and Part II Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain governmental inquiries and subsequent related litigation.  The Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters. However, the Company is incurring on-going expenses, net of insurance recoveries, if any, related to responding to these inquiries and complaints.

 

Seasonality

 

Our VN segment operations located in Florida normally experience higher admissions during the first quarter and lower admissions during the third quarter than in the other quarters due to seasonal population fluctuations.

Results for the second quarter of 2012 included both the impact of a Medicare reimbursement rate cut for 2012 which reduced consolidated and VN segment revenue and pre-tax operating income by $2.8 million and the results of our acquisition of Cambridge Home Health Care Holdings, Inc. (Cambridge Acquisition), which closed on August 5, 2011.  The Cambridge Acquisition increased second quarter 2012 consolidated net service revenue by $8.4 million, primarily in our PC segment.

 

Operating income before corporate expenses during the second quarter of 2012 increased slightly from the prior year quarter primarily as a result of the Cambridge Acquisition and productivity improvements in our VN segment, partially offset by the VN segment’s Medicare rate cut.  Refer to segment results for further discussion.

 

Corporate expenses grew by $0.8 million as a result of incentives, which were $0.4 million for 2012, while the prior year included the reversal of $0.4 million for incentives accrued in the first quarter of 2011.  Corporate expenses in 2012 and 2011 included $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for transition and acquisition-related costs.  The second quarter of 2012 and 2011 included zero and $0.4 million, respectively, for costs to respond to governmental inquiries and resulting litigation, net of anticipated insurance coverage.

 

The effective tax rate was approximately 39.5% in the second quarter of 2012, down from 40.2% in the second quarter of 2011, primarily driven by a lower state tax rate from the Cambridge Acquisition.

VN segment net service revenues decreased $3.6 million or about 5.0% to $67.6 million in 2012 down from $71.2 million in 2011, primarily due to a $2.8 million Medicare rate cut with the remainder due to a decline in both Medicare admissions and recertifications of 2.1% and 0.6%, respectively.

 

Cost of service revenues declined $1.0 million, as a result of focused efforts to drive operational efficiencies.  General and administrative salaries and benefits decreased by about $1.2 million, or 6.1%, while general and administrative other expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 5.1%, from 2011, both primarily as a result of a focused effort to reduce labor and other costs relative to patients served.  Operating results for 2012 include $0.6 million of unusually high health and worker’s compensation costs.

 

As a result, VN segment operating income before corporate expenses declined $1.0 million to $10.8 million from $11.8 million in 2011, while operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 16.0% in 2012 from 16.6% in 2011.

Our PC segment’s second quarter of 2012 results include our Cambridge acquisition, which was effective August 5, 2011 and drove increases in net service revenues, gross margin and operating income before corporate expenses of $8.1 million, $2.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

 

Organic growth increased net service revenues by $0.8 million, while cost of service revenues as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 69.9% in the second quarter of 2012 from 65.4% in 2011 primarily due to increased workers compensation provision of $0.4 million in 2012 compared to 2011 as a result of unusually high claims experience during the period, excluding which cost of service revenue as a percent of net service revenue would have been 67.7%.  The remaining increase in cost of service revenues from 2011 was Cambridge Acquisition mix of business related.

 

Salary and benefits in general and administrative expenses as a percent of net service revenue decreased 1.3% to 12.6% in 2012 from 13.9% in 2011 primarily due to the Cambridge Acquisition.  Other general and administrative expenses also includes a $0.2 million decrease in bad debt expense in 2012 from 2011.

 

As a result, PC segment operating income before corporate expenses increased to $2.3 million from $1.2 million in 2011.  Operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues increased slightly to 11.9% in 2012 from 11.8% in 2011.

Results for 2012 included both the impact of a Medicare reimbursement rate cut for 2012 which reduced consolidated and VN segment revenue and pre-tax operating income by $5.7 million and the results of our acquisition of Cambridge Acquisition, which closed on August 5, 2011.  The Cambridge Acquisition increased 2012 consolidated net service revenue by $17.3 million, primarily in our PC segment.  Volume increases in both segments drove the remaining increase in consolidated net service revenue.

 

Operating income before corporate expenses during 2012 declined $1.0 million from the prior year primarily as a result of the VN segment’s Medicare rate cut, partially offset by the Cambridge Acquisition and productivity improvement in our VN segment. Refer to segment results for further discussion.

 

Corporate expenses in 2012 and 2011 included $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for incentives.  Corporate expenses in both 2012 and 2011 also included $0.4 million of transition and acquisition-related costs, while including zero and $0.8 million, respectively, for costs to respond to governmental inquiries and resulting litigation, net of anticipated insurance coverage.

 

The effective tax rate was approximately 38.8% in 2012, down from 40.3% in 2011, primarily due to a lower state tax rate from the Cambridge Acquisition and the one-time benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance in conjunction with tax planning strategies completed during the first quarter of 2012.

VN segment net service revenues decreased $5.6 million or about 3.9% to $138.3 million in 2012 down from $143.9 million in 2011, primarily due to a $5.7 million Medicare rate cut.  Total admissions growth of 3.6% offset a 1.9% decline in Medicare recertifications resulting in the remaining increase in VN segment net service revenues.

 

Cost of service revenues decreased about 1.1%, along with the decline in visit volumes.  General and administrative salaries and benefits decreased by about $1.9 million primarily as a result of a focused effort to reduce labor costs relative to patients served.  General and administrative other expenses increased slightly, or 0.7%, from 2011, as the bad debt provision increased $0.6 million in 2012 on increased accounts receivable which more than offset focused efforts to reduce other costs relative to patients served.

 

As a result, VN segment operating income before corporate expenses declined $3.0 million to $21.8 million from $24.9 million in 2011, while operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 15.8% in 2012 from 17.3% in 2011.

Our PC segment’s 2012 results include our Cambridge Acquisition, which was effective August 5, 2011 and drove increases in net service revenues, gross margin and operating income before corporate expenses of $16.7 million, $5.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

 

Organic growth increased net service revenues by $1.5 million, while cost of service revenues as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 68.6% in 2012 from 64.7% in 2011 due to increased workers compensation provision of $0.8 million in 2012 compared to 2011 as a result of unusually high claims experience during the period, excluding which cost of service revenue as a percent of net service revenue would have been 66.5%.  The remaining increase in cost of service revenues from 2011 was Cambridge Acquisition mix of business related.

 

Salary and benefits in general and administrative expenses as a percent of net service revenue decreased 1.2% to 12.9% in 2012 from 14.1% in 2011 primarily due to the Cambridge Acquisition.  Other general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue decreased 1.8% to 6.2% from 8.0%, due to the $0.1 million lower bad debt provision with the remainder due to the Cambridge Acquisition.

 

As a result, PC segment operating income before corporate expenses increased to $4.7 million from $2.7 million in 2011.  Operating income before corporate expenses as a percent of revenues decreased to 12.3% in 2012 from 13.2% in 2011 due to the higher workers compensation provision.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

We have a $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, as Syndication Agent and certain other lenders (the “Facility”).  The Facility consists of a $125 million credit line with a maturity date of December 2, 2015 and an “accordion” feature providing for potential future expansion of the Facility to $175 million.  Borrowings (other than letters of credit) under the credit facility are made at either: a) the bank’s prime rate plus a margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, currently 1.25%) or b) LIBOR plus a margin (ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%, currently 2.25%).  The margin for prime rate or LIBOR borrowings is determined by our leverage.  Borrowings under the Facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all our tangible and intangible assets, and all our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors.

 

The weighted average prime rate-based interest rate was 4.50% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  The weighted average LIBOR rates were 2.72% and 2.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  We pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.30% to 0.50% on the average daily unused facility balance based on leverage. Borrowings are subject to various covenants including a multiple of 3.0 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). “EBITDA” may include “Acquired EBITDA” from pro-forma acquisitions pursuant to a calculation rider, up to 50% of “Adjusted EBITDA”, as defined. Borrowings under the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. As of June 30, 2012, the formula permitted all $125 million to be used against which we had irrevocable letters of credit totaling $6.4 million outstanding in connection with our self-insurance programs. As a result a total of $118.6 million was available for borrowing at June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with the Facility’s various financial covenants. Under the most restrictive of its covenants, we were required to maintain minimum net worth of at least $152.6 million at June 30, 2012.  At such date, our net worth was approximately $214.6 million.

 

We believe that this facility plus cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operating needs for at least the next year.  We will continue to evaluate additional capital, including possible debt and equity investments in the Company, to support a more rapid development of the business than would be possible with internal funds.

 

Cash Flows

 

Key elements to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were:

2012

 

Net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from current period net income of $9.5 million plus certain non-cash items, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The decrease from 2011 is primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in accounts receivable and decreased net income of $1.2 million.  Accounts receivable days revenues outstanding was 50 at June 30, 2012 and 46 at December 31, 2011 due to processing delays as well as prepayment ADRs from Palmetto Government Benefits Administration.

 

The cash used in investing activities for 2012 was primarily due to capital expenditures, while 2011 includes $4.3 million for an acquisition completed in April 2011.

 

21



Table of Contents

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased over the prior year period primarily due to cash used for a $1.7 million stock redemption of 72,000 shares related to the previous distribution of shares to non-employee directors pursuant to the termination of the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan and repayment of a $1.2 million acquisition related seller note.

 

2011

 

Net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from current period net income of $10.7 million, net of changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  Accounts receivable days revenues outstanding remained at 43 at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

The cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the $4.3 million acquisition completed in April 2011, with the remainder due to capital expenditures.

 

Net cash used in financing activities includes $1.6 million for payments under capital leases and acquisition notes payable, which was offset by a $1.6 million tax benefit from share-based awards.  The Company receives a current tax deduction, subject to IRS limits, at exercise for option awards or when the restriction lapses for restricted awards.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on income during the past several years.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

 

The information provided in some of the tables use certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has provided, in the supplemental information below, a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

 

EBITDA

 

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is not a measure of financial performance under U.S generally accepted accounting principles. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Management routinely calculates and communicates EBITDA and believes that it is useful to investors because it is commonly used as an analytical indicator within our industry to evaluate performance, measure leverage capacity and debt service ability, and to estimate current or prospective enterprise value. EBITDA is also used in certain covenants contained in our credit agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments.

 

Market Risk of Financial Instruments

 

Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is to changes in interest rates on long-term obligations.

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company had no outstanding amounts on its revolving credit facility and, therefore, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would have no impact on annual pre-tax earnings due to higher interest expense.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures — As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e).  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Almost Family, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we are subject to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims for damages for personal injuries.  In our opinion, the ultimate resolution of any of these pending ordinary course claims and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In addition as previously disclosed, we had previously been advised that a relator had filed a False Claims Act qui tam complaint regarding our visiting nurse operations in Birmingham, Alabama, and a different relator had filed a False Claims Act qui tam complaint regarding our Medicare practices at facilities in Tampa, Florida.  Following decisions by the Department of Justice not to join the cases, in April 2012, we were advised that the relators in both cases voluntarily filed for dismissal without prejudice, to which the government consented.  As a result, the Court dismissed both cases without prejudice in April 2012.

 

As previously disclosed, we received a notice of investigation and a civil subpoena for documents from the Securities and Exchange Commission in June 2010.  The Company and its officers and directors responded to additional document requests from the SEC Staff in the fall of 2011.  In January 2012, the Staff took testimony of several officers and directors primarily with respect to their sales of common stock of the Company during May 2010.

 

As previously disclosed, four derivative complaints have been filed in Jefferson Circuit Court, Kentucky, against the members of the Company’s board of directors and chief financial officer. All four lawsuits named the Company as a nominal defendant.  All of the complaints refer to an April 27, 2010 The Wall Street Journal article and the subsequent governmental investigations.  On February 13, 2012, the independent directors filed a motion to dismiss the complaint because the plaintiffs failed to make any demand on the Board.  The motion has been fully briefed.  On July 27, 2012, oral arguments on the motion were made before the Court, with a

 

23



Table of Contents

 

ruling expected in the near future.

 

As previously disclosed, a fifth derivative complaint involving Richard W. Carey was filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky.  The lawsuit names the Company as a nominal defendant and is substantially duplicative of the derivative complaint pending in the Jefferson Circuit Court.  The Court granted the defendants’ motion to stay the lawsuit pending further order of the Court.

 

We are unable to assess the probable outcome or potential liability, if any, arising from these unresolved matters.
