EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Selway Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us” or “Selway”), is filing this Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) to its Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 16, 2013 (the “Original 8-K”). This Amendment amends and updates certain information under Items 2.01 and 9.01 and Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 to reflect a restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

As a result of our management’s review of the 2011 financial statements, our management concluded that it will be unable to complete our restated 2011 financial statements due to lack of sufficient source documents and other information, and that, as a result of the analysis, management had decided to exclude the 2011 income statement from this Amendment, in which it would otherwise be required, and that we would adjust the financial statements for 2012 and the 6 months ended June 30, 2013 to reflect the correction of the errors that were discovered.

 

Except as reflected in Items 2.01 and 9.01 and Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 of this Amendment, this Amendment does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date, and does not modify or update in any way the disclosures made in the Original 8-K.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K, on January 25, 2013, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) was entered into by and among Selway, Selway Merger Sub, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Selway (“Merger Sub”), HCCA, a New Jersey corporation, PCA, Gary Sekulski, as the representative of the stockholders of HCCA, and Edmundo Gonzalez, as Selway’s representative. On April 10, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Agreement closed.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into HCCA, resulting in HCCA becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Selway. PCA and PCA Benefits, Inc., a dormant entity, remain wholly owned subsidiaries of HCCA.

 

Holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of HCCA immediately prior to the time of the Merger had each of their shares of common stock of HCCA converted into the right to receive: (i) a proportional amount of 5,200,000 shares of Selway Series C common stock and promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $7,500,000 (collectively, the “Closing Payment”); plus (ii) a proportional amount of up to 2,800,000 shares of Selway common stock, if any, (the “Earnout Payment Shares”) issuable upon the combined company achieving certain consolidated gross revenue thresholds as more fully described below; plus (iii) the right to receive a proportional amount of the proceeds from the exercise of certain warrants being issued to Selway Capital Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Selway’s sponsor, as more fully described below. A portion of the Closing Payment (520,000 shares and promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $750,000) was placed in escrow for a period of 12 months following the Merger to satisfy indemnification obligations of the HCCA, if any, as more fully described below. Effective December 20, 2013, the escrowed portion of the Closing Payment, together with a portion of the shares issued to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (an aggregate of 546,002 shares, and promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $750,000) were released from escrow and cancelled. The promissory notes included in the Closing Payment are non-interest bearing and subordinated to all senior debt of the combined company in the event of a default under such senior debt. The notes will be repaid from 18.75% of the combined company’s free cash-flow (defined as in the notes) in excess of $2,000,000. The combined company will be obligated to repay such notes if, among other events, there is a transaction that that results in a change of control of the combined company.

 

The Earnout Payment Shares, if any, will be issued as follows: (i) 1,400,000 shares if the combined company achieves consolidated gross revenue of $150,000,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 or June 30, 2014; and (ii) 1,400,000 shares if the combined company achieves consolidated gross revenue of $300,000,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 or June 30, 2015. In the event the combined company does not achieve the first earnout threshold, but does achieve the second earnout threshold, then all of the Earnout Payment Shares shall be issued. If the combined company consolidates, merges or transfers substantially all of its assets prior to June 30, 2015 at a valuation of at least $15.00 per share, then all of the Earnout Payment Shares not previously paid out shall be issued immediately prior to such transaction. If, prior to achieving either earnout threshold the combined company acquires another business in exchange for its equity or debt securities, then any remaining earnout thresholds may be adjusted by the independent members of the combined company’s board of directors in their sole discretion.

 

In connection with the Merger, certain members of HCCA’s management received promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $2,500,000 (the “Management Incentive Notes”), which notes are non-interest bearing and subordinated to all senior debt of the combined company in the event of a default under such senior debt. The Management Incentive Notes will be repaid from 6.25% of the combined company’s free cash-flow (defined as in the notes) in excess of $2,000,000. The combined company will be obligated to repay such notes if, among other events, there is a transaction that that results in a change of control of the combined company. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, HCCA expects to record a one-time expense, estimated at approximately $1.7 million, reflecting the estimated present value of the Management Incentive Notes at the time of the Merger.

 

In addition to the Management Incentive Notes, certain members of HCCA’s management received an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Selway common stock (the “Management Incentive Shares”), which shares were placed in escrow and subject to release in three installments through June 30, 2015. Subsequently, certain members of HCCA management agreed to cancel an aggregate of 750,000 shares pursuant to rescission agreements entered into in June 2013. Of the remaining Management Incentive Shares outstanding, 400,000 shares have vested but remain in escrow until June 30, 2014 and 350,000 shares will vest on June 30, 2015 and will remain in escrow until June 30, 2015. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, HCCA expects to record a one-time expense, estimated at approximately $2.9 million, reflecting the estimated market value of these shares at the time of the Merger.

In connection with a bridge financing (the “Bridge Financing”) completed by the HCCA in September 2012, HCCA issued 59.25 units, each unit consisting of 10,000 preferred shares and a promissory note with a face value of $100,000. At the time of the Merger, holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock of HCCA, by virtue of the Merger, had each of their shares of preferred stock of HCCA converted into the right to receive a proportional amount of 592,500 shares of Selway Series C common stock and warrants to purchase 296,250 shares of Selway Series C common stock. In accordance with the terms of the promissory notes issued in the Bridge Financing, at the time of the Merger, notes in the aggregate amount of $3,159,591.78 (including principal and interest accrued to date) were converted into 315,959 shares of Selway Series C common stock and notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,025,000 were repaid in full.

 

In connection with transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Selway also entered into a registration rights agreement to register all shares included in the Closing Payment, the Earnout Payment Shares, the shares underlying the Exchange Warrants (as defined below), and the Selway shares issued as compensation for the Bridge Financing completed by HCCA in September 2012, pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into at the closing of the merger (all such securities issued in connection with the merger, the “Merger Securities”). The holders of the majority of the Merger Securities are entitled to make up to two demands that Selway register such securities at any time commencing six months following the consummation of the merger. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to Selway’s consummation of an acquisition transaction. Selway will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. In addition, holders who received shares as compensation for the Bridge Financing are entitled to liquidated damages in the event that a registration statement covering their shares is not effective by October 8, 2013 or ceases to be effective for more than 45 days in a 12-month period. Such damages would be assessed for each 30-day period that the registration statement is not effective, in the amount of 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each holder in the Bridge Financing, provided however, that total liquidated damages may not exceed 10% of the aggregate purchase price.

 

In conjunction with the merger of Merger Sub into HCCA:

 

·Selway entered into exchange agreements with 3 beneficial holders of HCCA’s bridge loan who were also beneficial holders of greater than 5% of Selway’s Series A common stock. Pursuant to the exchange agreements, such holders converted an aggregate of 281,554 shares of Selway’s Series A common stock to Selway’s Series C common stock. In conjunction with the exchange, such holders were repaid bridge notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,025,000.

 

·Selway entered into exchange agreements with 3 beneficial holders of greater than 5% of Selway’s Series A common stock. Pursuant to the exchange agreements, such holders converted an aggregate of 878,481 shares of Selway’s Series A common stock to Selway’s Series C common stock and received $3.53 per share of Series A common stock exchanged, or an aggregate of $3,101,037.93.

 

·An aggregate of $11,948,360.50 was released from Selway’s trust account, reflecting the number of shares of Series A common stock that were converted into Series C common stock, of which $232,007 was paid to the underwriters from Selway’s initial public offering.

 

  · The placement warrants held by Selway’s founders were converted into the right to receive: (i) an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Selway common stock; and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Selway common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (the “Exchange Warrants”). On November 22, 2013, the Board of Directors approved an change in the terms of the Exchange Warrants, pursuant to which (a) the term of the warrants was extended for three year, (b) the exercise price was reduced to $1.50 (the conversion price of the Notes issued on December 31, 2013 as described herein, (c) providing for a cashless exercise feature for 100% of the warrant shares, and (d) increased to $17.50 the price at which the Exchange Warrants must be exercised if the closing price for the combined company’s common stock exceeds such price per share for 20 trading days in any 30-trading-day period.

BUSINESS

 

Healthcare Corporation of America, a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Selway Capital Acquisition Corporation ) (the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a company that was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 12, 2011 to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or similar acquisition transaction, one or more operating businesses. Although we were not limited to a particular geographic region or industry, we focused on acquiring operating businesses in the United States. Until the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Healthcare Corporation of America, a New Jersey corporation (“HCCA”), on April 10, 2013, we did not operate a business and our activities were limited to locating a business to acquire.

 

As a result of the closing of the Acquisition, we operate our business through our wholly owned subsidiary, HCCA. HCCA is a Pharmacy Benefit Manager, or PBM. HCCA’s mission is to reduce prescription drug costs for clients while improving the quality of care. HCCA administers prescription drug benefit programs for employers who contract with HCCA directly in order to provide this component of healthcare benefits to their employees. HCCA also is the PBM for health benefit companies who partner with HCCA in order to provide prescription drug benefits along with their core offering, other health benefits like medical insurance, to their clients. HCCA’s growing customer base includes commercial clients of various sizes and industries, business associations and trade groups, and local government entities, labor unions and charitable and non-profit organizations. HCCA’s business model is based on proactive benefit cost management. HCCA’s brand in the marketplace is Prescription Corporation of America, or PCA.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 66 Ford Road, Suite 230, Denville, NJ 07834, and the telephone number at our principal executive office is 973-983-6300. We maintain a website at www.hca-pca.com. The information contained in, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of, and is not incorporated into, this current report on Form 8-K or other filings we make with the SEC. We makes available free of charge on our website annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or we furnishes it to, the SEC.

 

Restatement of Financial Information

 

On May 9, 2013, we issued a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that our Board of Directors, after consultation with, and upon recommendation from, our management, concluded the previously issued audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 for HCCA, which we recently acquired and which is currently our wholly owned subsidiary, should no longer be relied upon and that disclosure should be made, and action should be taken, to prevent future reliance on such financial statements. For a description of the basis for the Board’s determination, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 9, 2013, which description is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Our officers discussed the foregoing matters with HCCA’s independent registered public accounting firm during the period, Thomas J. Harris, Certified Public Accountant. The Board of Directors authorized and directed that our officers take the appropriate and necessary actions to amend and restate the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”), pursuant to which HCCA’s financial statements were filed with the SEC on May 16, 2013.

 

The restated financial statements also include certain reclassifications related to revenue and cost of sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. We previously disclosed in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on March 25, 2013 and April 16, 2013 HCCA’s practice of recognizing revenue from rebates as well as from its mail-order pharmacy business. HCCA has reclassified these figures as decreases to cost of sales, with the exception of co-pays from members who order from its mail-order facility. There is no impact on gross profit, nor is there an impact on operating expenses related to this reclassification. We believe this classification for revenues and cost of sales represents the practice of some of our largest competitors, including Catamaran.

 

On September 16, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with, and upon recommendation from, management of the Company, concluded that the previously issued and restated audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 of HCCA, and the previously issued unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of HCCA, should no longer be relied upon and that disclosure should be made, and action should be taken, to prevent future reliance on such financial statements. The Company reported this information in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 16, 2013.

Our officers discussed the foregoing matters with HCCA’s independent registered public accounting firm during the period, Thomas J. Harris, Certified Public Accountant. The Board of Directors authorized and directed that our officers take the appropriate and necessary actions to amend and restate the Original 8-K. As a result we reviewed our financial statements in an attempt to discover all the material errors and misstatements that were included therein. As part of this review we engaged external consultants to review and investigate our books and records and other related transactions and activities for 2012 and 2011.

 

On November 11, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company had discovered additional issues that necessitated an in-depth analysis of the books and records of HCCA for 2011, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a result of this review our management concluded that it will be unable to complete our restated 2011 financial statements, due to lack of sufficient source documents and other information, and that, as a result of the analysis, management had decided to exclude the 2011 income statement from our Transition Report on Form 10-K, in which it would otherwise be required, and that we would adjust the financial statements for 2012 and the 6 months ended June 30, 2013 to reflect the correction of the errors that were discovered.

 

The errors requiring a restatement of HCCA’s financial statements will result in material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which will be noted in the amended filings. In order to help prevent similar accounting errors in the future, the Company has hired a new CFO effective as of June 3, 2013 and instituted new procedures and controls where all material schedules and related journal entries are reviewed by the CFO on a monthly basis. On January 7, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors established an Audit Committee consisting of Mr. Thomas Rebar and Edmundo Gonzalez, with Mr. Rebar as Chairman. In addition, the Company is in the process of locating additional independent directors eligible to serve on the audit committee.

 

New Chief Executive Officer

 

On December 31, 2013, the Company appointed Natasha Giordano to serve as Chief Executive Officer, President and director of the Company, effective January 1, 2014. Also on December 31, 2013, Gary Sekulski resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective upon the appointment of his successor, Natasha Giordano. He will continue to serve as a director of the Company.

 

Change in Fiscal Year

 

On November 7, 2013, the Company determined to change its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31. As a result of the change in fiscal year, the Company will file a transition report on Form 10-K for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

 

Debt Modification

 

On October 15, 2013, the Company received a notice of events of default (the “Notice”) from Partners For Growth III, L.P. (the “Lender”) pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 17, 2013 (the “Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, Healthcare Corporation of America, a New Jersey corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“HCA”), Prescription Corporation of America, a New Jersey corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HCA (“PCA”), and PCA Benefits, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HCA (“PCAB”; and collectively with the Company, HCA and PCA, the “Borrowers”). On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Forbearance, Waiver and Modification No. 1 to Loan Agreement with the Lender (the “Modification”) that is described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 31, 2013.

Private Placement

 

On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with certain purchasers (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) named therein and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Agent”) as administrative and collateral agent. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued $2,112,500 of Junior Secured Convertible Term Notes (the “Notes”), which Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial fixed conversion price equal to $1.50 per share. The Purchasers of Notes also received warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase one share for every $1.50 of Notes purchased by such Purchaser. The Company completed the initial closing of a private placement of Notes and Warrants under the SPA on December 31, 2013, and may continue to make subsequent placements under the SPA until it has placed an aggregate of $6,000,000 in Notes under the SPA or the date that is 30 days after the date of such initial closing (the private placements under the SPA are collectively referred to as the “Private Placement”).

 

In connection with the Private Placement the Company agreed to pay the Agent a fee representing 9% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the $500,000 additional loan from the Lender, less $250,000, or $2,362,500. The fee was paid in the form of additional Notes (with a pro rata number of warrants) in the amount of $212,625 (for total principal amount of Notes equal to $2,325,125).

 

In connection with the issuance of the Notes under the SPA, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,550,083 shares of common stock (including warrants to purchase 141,750 shares issued to the Agent for its fees), at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”), at any time on or prior to December 31, 2018 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Master Security Agreement with the Agent pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries agreed to secure the payment of all obligations under the Notes by granting and pledging to the Agent a continuing security interest in all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by them.

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Private Placement, the Company is required to file a registration statement covering all securities issued or issuable pursuant to the SPA (the “SPA Securities”) no later than ten business days following the filing with the Commission of the Company’s annual or quarterly report for the period ending December 31, 2013 (or, if the Company does not file a report for such period, the report for the period ending closest to December 31, 2013), but in no event later than April 14, 2014. The holders of SPA Securities are entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of 1% of the face value of the Notes for each 30 day period the company fails to comply with its obligations under the registration rights agreement. In the event the Company fails to timely make such liquidated damages payment, the such amounts shall accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% for every 30 day period such failure continues.

 

Going Concern

 

We have generate substantial losses, while successfully completing various financings as described herein during 2012 and 2013. Nevertheless, as of the date of this report we have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs to allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our obtaining additional adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable and generate cash flows from our operations. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations. We are contemplating conducting additional offering of our debt or equity securities to obtain additional operating capital. There are no assurances we will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.

 

Products and Services

 

HCCA’s primary products and services consist of a variety of Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) products, in addition to mail-order pharmacy services. HCCA’s suite of PBM products provides flexible and cost-effective alternatives to traditional PBM offerings typically used by health plans, government agencies and employers. HCCA provides a broad range of pharmacy benefit management solutions to managed care organizations, self-insured employer groups, unions, third party healthcare plan administrators, and local government entities. HCCA’s PBM products include solutions for self-insured entities such as employers, townships, counties and unions, as well as smaller fully-funded entities that typically require a fixed cost structure. The majority of HCCA’s client base is currently in New Jersey, and HCCA plans to expand its services out of New Jersey.

 

HCCA started its business by focusing on the needs of the local government market in New Jersey. HCCA believes that our growth to date has been the result of clients (we refer to employers contracting with HCCA as “clients” while the employees to whom HCCA provides services are referred to as “members” throughout this document) finding HCCA’s pricing model, and its resulting savings, more attractive than other options.

 

11
 

 

HCCA has started to expand its business geographically and has also added products to address attractive market segments. HCCA’s PBM products include:

 

·Fully-funded Programs: A fully-funded prescription benefit plan takes the risk of overpayment from the client and passes it to the PBM in exchange for a higher fixed monthly cost.

 

·Self-Insured Programs: Larger organizations can take the risk of total drug spending varying, and traditionally provide the drug benefit to their employees on a self-insured basis. Under self-insurance, HCCA seeks to pass on the cost of drugs, and it generates revenue via administrative fees and rebates.

 

·Rx Savings Solutions: These affordable plans marketed under the “Savings Solutions” brand feature generic only or generic and preferred brand drug formularies, allowing HCCA to provide lower cost alternatives. At this point, this program is most often employed by smaller businesses that want to provide prescription drug benefits to their employees but cannot afford a traditional fully-funded or self-funded plan.

 

·Mail-Order Pharmacy: HCCA offers mail-order pharmacy services to its PBM members. HCCA’s mail-order pharmacy service gives members flexibility, privacy, and easy access to their maintenance medications while offering plan savings to the client because we are able to take advantage of lower purchase prices, allowing HCCA to pass along savings to its customers. Unlike other PBM providers who outsource their mail order pharmacy services, HCCA’s in-house pharmacy team operates its own mail-order pharmacy directly from HCCA’s headquarters in Denville, New Jersey. HCCA believes this allows it to provide a higher standard of service and to assert greater control over fulfilling claims for members, as well as lowering costs.

 

On January 1, 2012, HCCA entered into a Management Services Agreement with Argus Health Systems (“Argus”) a provider of claims processing and related services. Pursuant to this agreement, HCCA engaged Argus as its exclusive claims processing service provider. The parties agreed to comply with applicable laws, including with respect to maintaining patient information confidential, and have agreed to customary indemnification obligations. The agreement provides that payment of all services are due within 15 days of invoicing, subject to good faith disputes. The initial term for the agreement with Argus is from January 1, 2012 through January 1, 2015, which term automatically renews for additional one year periods unless notice of non-renewal is made prior to a renewal, and can be terminated prior to such date upon a material uncured breach by the other party.

 

The Industry

 

According to IMS Health, or IMS, approximately 4.4 billion pharmacy prescriptions were written and filled in the United States during 2011 — representing a retail value in excess of $417 billion. Based on the factors described below, HCCA expects drug utilization rates to continue to rise in the future. HCCA estimates that the current market opportunity for HCCA’s services in its industry is significant and growing due to the following factors:

 

·Aging population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. population is expected to age rapidly through 2030, when 19.5% of the population will be over the age of 65, compared to 12.0% in 2000. Older Americans require more medications than their younger counterparts — often 20 to 40 prescriptions annually, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, or Kaiser, the number of prescriptions purchased in the U.S. increased 39% from 1999 to 2009, while the population only grew 9%. The increase in prescriptions due to an aging population is expected to drive demand for senior-focused clinical programs and benefit plans which will address the prescription drug needs of an aging population.

 

·Rising drug prices. According to IMS, the U.S. pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at a 3% to 6% annual compound rate. Retail prescription prices have increased on average 3.6% annually between 2000 and 2009, according to Kaiser, a rate which is higher than the average inflation rate during that same period of 2.5%.

 

12
 

 

·Health care reform. The health care reform law enacted in 2010 is estimated to provide drug coverage for an estimated 30-35 million people in the form of expanded Medicaid coverage, and this increases the PBM market by an estimated 20%, or $87.5 billion. In addition, the law may push more employers towards lower-cost prescription drug providers, which HCCA believes may create demand for PBM products.

 

·Generic pipeline. According to IMS, the generic share of the overall prescription drug market has increased from 67% in 2007 to 80% in 2011. Also according to IMS, over the next five years, $64 billion in branded drugs will come off patent in the U.S., fueling growth in the availability of generic equivalents. HCCA believes that this presents an opportunity for client cost savings and margin expansion for us. Generic drugs provide both immediate cost savings to the client and higher percent margins for HCCA’s business, despite the lower revenue.

 

Competition

 

HCCA competes with numerous companies that provide the same or similar services. HCCA’s competitors range from large publicly traded companies to several small and privately-owned companies, which compete for a significant part of the market. The principal competitive factors are quality of service, scope of available services, and price. The ability to be competitive is influenced by HCCA’s ability to negotiate prices with pharmacies, drug manufacturers, and third party rebate administrators. Market share for PBM services in the United States is highly concentrated, with a few national firms, such as recently merged leaders SXC Health Solutions, Inc./Catalyst and Medco Health Solutions, Inc./Express Scripts, Inc., along with CVS Caremark Corporation, controlling a significant share of prescription volume. Much of the rest, however, is divided among a combination of small regional PBM’s and so-called “captive” PBM’s, or subsidiaries of larger healthcare or hospital organizations. All told, HCCA believes there are an estimated 40-50 PBM’s operating in the United States, from the large players down to the small regional ones.

 

In addition, the recent merger activity between Express Scripts, Inc. and Medco Health Solutions, Inc., and between SXC Health Solutions, Inc. and Catalyst Health Solutions, Inc. signals that there may be further consolidation of these larger firms. Most of HCCA’s competitors have been in existence for longer periods of time and are better established, and some of them also have broader public recognition and substantially greater financial and marketing resources. However, the constant move towards consolidation may have the effect of encouraging clients to seek an alternative to their incumbent plan, opening an opportunity for a flexible and client-focused alternative.

 

HCCA’s ability to attract and retain customers is substantially dependent on HCCA’s capability to provide competitive pricing, efficient and accurate claims management, client and member services and related reporting and clinical management services.

 

Competitive Strengths

 

We believe that the following competitive strengths are the keys to our success:

 

·Customer Service: HCCA places high level of importance on the quality of its customer support organization. We believe based on customers feedback that our customer support is one of our competitive strengthens compared to our competitors.

 

·Pharmacy Network: Through HCCA’s partner Argus, HCCA’s network features over 63,000 pharmacies nationwide, representing over 95% of pharmacies in the country. Argus processes claims on the level of the largest PBMs. Argus’ buying power allows HCCA to compete with much bigger PBMs, as it eliminates some of the larger PBMs’ price advantage when compared to HCCA. New clients of HCCA who are switching from larger PBMs experience a seamless transition to HCCA’s plan, as it is accepted at nearly all pharmacies nationwide. By exploiting its relationship with Argus, HCCA is able to deliver a higher degree of savings to its customers and gain greater appeal in the contracting process due to the availability of the large network.

 

13
 

 

·Price: HCCA’s partnership with Argus provides state-of-the-art electronic claims adjudication capabilities. Argus currently processes an aggregate of over 500 million pharmacy claims a year for a number of PBM providers. Due to this substantial market presence, it is generally able to negotiate drug prices far below that which PBMs of comparable size to HCCA would otherwise be able to. Further, there are no fixed costs associated with this network, as all payments are set up on a per-prescription processed basis. When added to HCCA’s retail mail-order pharmacy, which provides discounts for customers while keeping all revenue in-house, we believe HCCA’s network stands at a fairly equal footing with the largest PBMs in the market.

 

·Unique and Innovative Programs:
oPatient Empowerment Program (PEP): This voluntary clinical management program provides members with a cash incentive to try brand-to-generic substitutions and therapeutic brand alternatives. PEP provides a small but worthwhile cash payment for each switch from brand to generic.
oPrescription Savings Card: HCCA’s prescription savings card program is a promotional program that enables members and their families to realize savings of 15% to 75% on prescription drug purchases through Argus’ nationwide network of over 64,000 retail pharmacies and HCCA’s mail-order retail pharmacy.

 

Business Strategy

 

We seek to continue our growth as a lower-cost, high customer service prescription services provider in the United States. Broadly defined, our basic strategies are to expand HCCA’s customer base geographically, while at the same time pursuing unique new applications of HCCA’s knowledge and technology to higher margin businesses that can continue to diversify and expand its overall revenue stream. HCCA’s primary strategies by product line are:

 

Existing Programs

 

·Fully-Funded: Penetrate the private market sector as well as non profits while improving the profitability of our current customer contacts which are primarily in the government sector.

 

·Self-Funded: Within the self-funded product line, we intends to follow a similar strategy of expansion within and outside the region and aggressive growth targeting as with the fully-funded line. In general, self-funded clients are larger and we believe the role of the benefit consultant is very important. HCCA has established good working relationships with benefits consulting groups, and will continue to do so as a market strategy. HCCA’s direct sales force also targets clients directly, so that HCCA can directly participate in the bidding process and receive RFPs from potential clients.

 

·340B Basics: The federal drug-pricing program, 340B, requires drug manufacturers to sell outpatient drugs at a reduced cost to eligible healthcare centers, clinics and hospitals. The goal is to incentivize healthcare providers to expand medication access to low-income individuals, families and other vulnerable populations. HCCA’s new 340 Basics product is a compliance management solution that includes HCCA proprietary software as well as management processes and controls. It provides multiple channels with the operational framework to meet administrative and inventory control challenges relating to 340B compliance, maximize potential pharmacy savings and control costs. Since its launch in August 2013, HCCA signed up 7 new customers that are expected to go live by mid-2014.

 

·Partnerships with Healthcare Management Companies: In early 2012, HCCA executed its first agreement with a regional health benefits provider, for which it created a privately labeled PBM product. HCCA’s private-label product, which does not vary in terms from HCCA’s other products, is the companion drug benefit program for clients that elect to include a drug benefit with their health benefits purchase. Since April 2013, the regional health benefits provider no longer offers the private-label PMB product to new customers, though it does provide the product to customers who have previously selected the private-label product. HCCA believes it can create privately labeled PBM products for other health benefits providers in the future and it is exploring other opportunities with firms like these.

 

14
 

 

·Rx Savings Solutions: The Savings Solutions line offers an opportunity for growth and higher margins as compared to the core PBM product lines. HCCA will continue to move aggressively to apply the Savings Solutions’ generic-based model to larger customers.

 

Government Regulation

 

Various aspects of our business are governed by federal and state laws and regulations. Because sanctions may be imposed for violations of these laws, compliance is a significant operational requirement. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all existing legal requirements material to the operation of our business. There are, however, significant uncertainties involving the application of many of these legal requirements to its business. In addition, at any given time, there are numerous proposed health care laws and regulations at the federal and state levels, many of which could harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition. We are unable to predict what additional federal or state legislation or regulatory initiatives may be enacted in the future relating to its business or the health care industry in general, or what effect any such legislation or regulations might have on us. We also cannot provide any assurance that federal or state governments will not impose additional restrictions or adopt interpretations of existing laws or regulations that could harm our business or financial performance.

 

Some of the state laws described below may be preempted in whole or in part by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), which provides for comprehensive federal regulation of employee benefit plans. However, the scope of ERISA preemption is uncertain given the extensive and sometimes conflicting court rulings addressing the topic. We also provide services to certain clients, such as governmental entities, that are not subject to ERISA.

 

Federal Laws and Regulations Affecting Us

 

The following descriptions identify various federal laws and regulations that affect or may affect aspects of HCCA’s PBM business:

 

Legislation and Litigation Affecting Drug Prices

 

Average wholesale price (“AWP”) is a standard pricing metric published by third party data sources and currently used throughout the pharmacy benefits industry as the basis for determining drug pricing under contracts with clients, pharmacies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The calculation and reporting of AWP have been the subject of investigations by federal and state governments and litigation brought against pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as data services that report AWP. We not responsible for calculations, reports or payments of AWP; however, such investigations or lawsuits could impact our business because many of our customer contracts, pharmaceutical purchase agreements, retail network contracts and other agreements use AWP as a pricing benchmark. In March 2009, a federal district court gave final approval to settlement of class action lawsuits brought against First DataBank and Medi-Span, two primary sources of AWP reporting. Under the terms of the settlement, First DataBank and Medi-Span agreed, among other things, to reduce the reported AWP of certain prescription drugs by four percent effective September 26, 2009. First DataBank and Medi-Span also announced that they would discontinue publishing AWP within two years of the settlement. On September 3, 2009, a federal appeals court rejected challenges to the settlements, clearing the way for the AWP reductions to take effect.

 

Changes such as these, as well as any changes proposed by the federal government and the states regarding the reimbursement for drugs by Medicaid and Medicare, could impact our pricing to customers and other payors and could impact our ability to negotiate discounts with manufacturers, wholesalers, or retail pharmacies.

 

15
 

 

Federal Anti-Kickback/Fraud and Abuse Laws

 

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute (“AKS”) is a criminal law that prohibits, among other things, an individual or entity from knowingly or willfully paying or receiving, subject to certain statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors, any remuneration, directly or indirectly, intended to induce: (1) a referral for the furnishing of any item or service for which payment may be made in whole or in part under a federal health care program, including Medicare, Medicaid and the Tricare Program, or (2) the purchase, lease, order or the arranging for or recommending of the purchase, lease, or order of items or services for which payment may be made in whole or in part under federal health care programs. Penalties for violating the AKS may include imprisonment, criminal and civil fines, and exclusion from participation in the federally-funded health care programs.

 

The AKS has been interpreted broadly by courts, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”), Office of Inspector General (“OIG”), the agency charged with the enforcement of the AKS, and other administrative bodies. Because of the statute’s broad scope and the limited statutory exceptions, the OIG has established certain regulatory safe harbors which, if fully met, should immunize the parties from liability under the AKS. For example, safe harbors exist for certain properly disclosed and reported discounts received from vendors, certain investment interests, certain properly disclosed payments made by vendors to group purchasing organizations, certain personal services arrangements, and certain discount and payment arrangements between PBMs and HMO risk contractors serving Medicaid and Medicare members. A practice that does not fall within an exception or a safe harbor is not necessarily unlawful, but may be subject to scrutiny and challenge. Some, though not all, court opinions interpreting the AKS have focused primarily on the law’s intent requirement and have held that an arrangement will violate the AKS if any one purpose of the arrangement is to induce referrals or purchases, even if the payments at issue are also intended for a legitimate purpose. Thus, a violation of the statute may occur even if only one purpose of a payment arrangement is to induce patient referrals or purchases of products or services that are reimbursed by federal health care programs. Among the practices that have been identified by the OIG as potentially improper under the statute are certain product conversion programs in which benefits are given by drug manufacturers to pharmacists or physicians for changing a prescription, or recommending or requesting such a change, from one drug to another. The AKS has been cited as a partial basis, along with state consumer protection laws discussed below, for investigations and multi-state settlements relating to financial incentives provided by drug manufacturers to retail pharmacies as well as to PBMs in connection with such programs.

 

In April 2003, the OIG published “Final OIG Compliance Program Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers” (the “Compliance Guidance”). The Compliance Guidance, which is directed toward pharmaceutical manufacturers, provides the OIG’s views on the fundamental elements of pharmaceutical manufacturer compliance programs. The Compliance Guidance also highlights several potentially risky arrangements for pharmaceutical manufacturers, including the provision of grants, “prebates” and “upfront payments” to PBMs to support disease management programs and therapeutic interchanges. In addition, the Compliance Guidance indicates that the provision of rebates or other payments to PBMs by pharmaceutical manufacturers may potentially trigger liability under the AKS if not properly structured and disclosed.

 

The Health Care Reform Laws made two important clarifications that significantly strengthen the government’s ability to enforce the AKS. First, the Health Care Reform Laws clarified that a person need not have actual knowledge of or specific intent to violate the AKS. Second, the Health Care Reform Laws made clear that a claim resulting from an AKS violation constitutes a false claim under the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”). The provision codifies what some federal district courts had already held and significantly heightens the civil penalties HCCA could face for any alleged AKS violation.

 

Additionally, it is a crime under the Public Contract Anti-Kickback Act, for any person to knowingly and willfully offer or provide any remuneration to a prime contractor to the United States, including a contractor servicing federally funded health programs, in order to obtain favorable treatment in a subcontract. Violators of this law also may be subject to civil monetary penalties.

 

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the legal requirements imposed by such anti-kickback laws and regulations. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under such laws or regulations. Any such challenge could harm HCCA’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

  

16
 

 

Federal Statutes Prohibiting False Claims

 

The FCA imposes liability for knowingly making or causing to be made false claims to the government, including federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. For example, potential false claims include claims for services not rendered, or claims that misrepresent actual services rendered in order to obtain higher reimbursement. Private individuals may bring qui tam or whistleblower lawsuits against providers under the FCA, which authorizes the payment of a portion of any recovery to the individual bringing suit. Such actions are initially required to be filed under seal pending their review by the Department of Justice. Federal district courts have interpreted the FCA as applying to claims for reimbursement that violate the AKS or federal physician self-referral law (commonly referred to as the “Stark Law”) under certain circumstances. The Health Care Reform Laws expanded false claims liability by clarifying that an AKS violation can be a predicate for a false claim under the FCA and by adding a provision that imposes FCA liability on an individual or entity that fails to make a timely return of any overpayments received from Medicare or Medicaid. The FCA generally provides for the imposition of civil penalties and for treble damages, resulting in the possibility of substantial financial penalties for small billing errors that are replicated in a large number of claims, as each individual claim could be deemed to be a separate violation of the FCA. Criminal provisions that are similar to the FCA provide that a corporation may be fined if it is convicted of presenting to any federal agency a claim or making a statement that it knows to be false, fictitious or fraudulent to any federal agency.

 

ERISA Regulation

 

ERISA regulates certain aspects of employee pension and health benefit plans, including self-funded corporate health plans. We have agreements with self-funded corporate health plans to provide PBM services, and therefore, we are a service provider to ERISA plans. ERISA imposes duties on any person or entity that is a fiduciary with respect to the ERISA plan. We administer pharmacy benefits for ERISA plans in accordance with plan design choices made by the ERISA plan sponsors. We do not believe that the general conduct of our business subjects us to the fiduciary obligations set forth by ERISA, except to the extent we have specifically contracted with an ERISA plan sponsor to accept fiduciary responsibility for the limited purpose of addressing benefit claims and appeals. However, we cannot assure you that the U.S. Department of Labor, which is the agency that enforces ERISA, or a private litigant would not assert that the fiduciary obligations imposed by ERISA apply to certain aspects of our operations.

 

Numerous lawsuits have been filed against various PBMs by private litigants, including Plan participants on behalf of an ERISA plan and by ERISA Plan sponsors, alleging that the PBMs are ERISA fiduciaries and that, in such capacity, they allegedly violated ERISA fiduciary duties in connection with certain business practices related to their respective contracts with retail pharmacy networks and/or pharmaceutical manufacturers.

 

ERISA also imposes civil and criminal liability on service providers to health plans and certain other persons if certain forms of illegal remuneration are made or received. These provisions of ERISA are similar, but not identical, to the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute discussed above. In particular, ERISA does not provide the statutory and regulatory safe harbor exceptions incorporated into the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute. Like the health care anti-kickback laws, the corresponding provisions of ERISA are written broadly and their application to particular cases is often uncertain. We have implemented policies regarding, among other things, disclosure to health plan sponsors with respect to any commissions paid by or to us that might fall within the scope of such provisions and, accordingly, believes that we are in substantial compliance with any applicable provisions of ERISA. However, we cannot assure you that our policies in this regard would be found by the U.S. Department of Labor and potential private litigants to meet the requirements of ERISA.

 

In addition, the U.S. Department of Labor has recently issued several regulations that impose new fee disclosure rules on certain ERISA plans and their service providers. Those regulations do not currently apply to self-funded corporate health plans and their service providers, but the U.S. Department of Labor has held hearings to discuss extending them in the future. As a result, we are not yet able to assess the effect the regulations may have on its business.

 

17
 

 

FDA Regulation

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) generally has authority to regulate drug promotional materials that are disseminated by or on behalf of a drug manufacturer. The FDA also may inspect facilities in connection with procedures implemented to effect recalls of prescription drugs.

 

In addition, the FDA has authority to require the submission and implementation of a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, or REMS, if the FDA determines that that a REMS is necessary for the safe and effective marketing of a drug. To the extent we dispense products subject to REMS requirements or provide REMS services to a pharmaceutical manufacturer, we are subject to audit by the pharmaceutical manufacturer.

 

Antitrust Regulation

 

Various federal and state antitrust laws regulate trade and commerce with the objective of protecting the competitive process. Thus, Section One of the Sherman Act prohibits agreements that unreasonably restrain competition; Section Two of the Sherman Act prohibits monopolization and attempts to monopolize; Section Seven of the Clayton Act prohibits mergers and acquisitions which may substantially lessen competition; and the Robinson-Patman Act prohibits discriminating in price among different customers in certain circumstances. The interpretation of these broadly-worded statutes is left for the courts, and there is often uncertainty concerning the application of the antitrust laws to specific business practices. Successful plaintiffs in federal antitrust actions are always entitled to recover treble damages, as well as their attorneys’ fees. (In addition, virtually all states have antitrust statutes analogous to the Sherman Act, often including automatic treble damages and attorneys’ fees.)

 

Numerous retail pharmacies in the U.S. have filed lawsuits against pharmaceutical manufacturers, drug wholesalers, and PBMs challenging certain branded drug pricing practices under federal and state antitrust laws. The complaints alleged, in part, that the manufacturers gave, and the PBMs accepted, rebates and discounts on purchases of brand name prescription drugs, in violation of the Robinson-Patman Act, and that the manufacturers, drug wholesalers, and PBMs conspired in violation of the Sherman Act not to provide similar rebates and discounts to the plaintiff retail pharmacies. Although the Sherman Act allegations have been resolved, often with substantial settlements, certain Robinson-Patman Act claims continue to be litigated. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages, including trebled damages, injunctive relief against the alleged price discrimination, and attorneys’ fees.

 

We believe that we are in compliance with the legal requirements imposed by the antitrust laws. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under such laws. Any such challenge could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

State Laws and Regulations Affecting HCCA

 

The following descriptions identify various state laws and regulations that affect or may affect aspects of our PBM business:

 

State Anti-Kickback/False Claims Laws

 

Many states have laws and/or regulations similar to the AKS and the FCA described above, while several others are currently considering passing or strengthening false claims laws. Such state laws are not necessarily limited to services or items for which government-funded health care program payments may be made. Such state laws may be broad enough to include improper payments made in connection with services or items that are paid by commercial payors. Penalties for violating these state anti-kickback and false claims laws may include, but are not limited to, injunction, imprisonment, criminal and civil fines and exclusion from participation in the state Medicaid programs. Additionally, under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, discussed in greater detail below, states are incentivized to pass broad false claims legislation similar to the FCA, and there has been activity in several states during the past several years to do so.

 

18
 

 

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the legal requirements imposed by such laws and regulations. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under such laws or regulations. Any such challenge could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

State Consumer Protection Laws

 

Most states have enacted consumer protection and deceptive trade practices laws that generally prohibit payments and other broad categories of conduct deemed harmful to consumers. These statutes may be enforced by states and/or private litigants. Such laws have been and continue to be the basis for investigations, prosecutions, and settlements of PBMs, initiated by state prosecutors as well as by private litigants.

 

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the legal requirements imposed by such laws and regulations. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under one or more of these laws, or under similar consumer protection theories.

 

State Comprehensive PBM Regulation

 

Legislation directly regulating PBM activities in a comprehensive manner has been introduced in a number of states. In addition, legislation has been proposed in some states seeking to impose fiduciary obligations or disclosure requirements on PBMs. The District of Columbia has enacted a statute imposing fiduciary and disclosure obligations on PBMs. Similarly, both North Dakota and South Dakota have relatively comprehensive PBM laws that, among other things, increase financial transparency and regulate therapeutic interchange programs. Each state that enacts such legislation requires us to adapt our operations in that state, which could harm us.

 

Many states have licensure or registration laws governing certain types of ancillary health care organizations, including preferred provider organizations, third-party administrators, or TPAs, companies that provide utilization review services, and companies that engage in the practices of a pharmacy. The scope of these laws differs significantly from state to state, and the application of such laws to the activities of PBMs often is unclear.

 

In addition, certain quasi-regulatory organizations, including the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners have issued model regulations or may propose future regulations concerning PBMs and/or PBM activities, and the National Committee for Quality Assurance, the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission, or other credentialing organizations may provide voluntary standards regarding PBM activities. In 2007, for example, the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission finalized PBM accreditation standards for PBMs serving the commercially insured market. While the actions of these quasi-regulatory organizations do not have the force of law, they may influence states to adopt their requirements or recommendations as well as influence customer requirements for PBM services. Moreover, any standards established by these organizations could also impact its health plan customers and/or the services we provide to them.

 

Network Access Legislation

 

A majority of states now have some form of legislation affecting our ability to limit access to a pharmacy provider network (“any willing provider” legislation), or removal of a network provider, (“due process” legislation). Such legislation may require us or our clients to admit any retail pharmacy willing to meet the plan’s price and other terms for network participation, or may provide that a provider may not be removed from a network except in compliance with certain procedures. These statutes have not materially affected our business.

 

State Legislation Affecting Plan or Benefit Design

 

Some states have enacted legislation that prohibits certain types of managed care plan sponsors from implementing certain restrictive design features, and many states have legislation regulating various aspects of managed care plans, including provisions relating to the pharmacy benefits. For example, some states, under so-called freedom of choice legislation, provide that members of the plan may not be required to use network providers, but must instead be provided with benefits even if they choose to use non-network providers. Other states have enacted legislation purporting to prohibit health plans from offering members financial incentives for use of mail service pharmacies. Legislation has been introduced in some states to prohibit or restrict therapeutic intervention, to require coverage of all FDA-approved drugs or to require coverage for off-label uses of drugs where those uses are recognized in peer-reviewed medical journals or reference compendia. Other states mandate coverage of certain benefits or conditions and require health plan coverage of specific drugs, if deemed medically necessary by the prescribing physician. Such legislation does not generally apply to us directly, but may apply to certain of our clients, such as HMOs and health insurers. If legislation were to become widely adopted, it could have the effect of limiting the economic benefits achievable through PBMs. This development could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

State Regulation of Financial Risk Plans

 

Fee-for-service prescription drug plans (“PDPs”) are generally not subject to financial regulation by the states. However, if a PBM offers to provide prescription drug coverage on a capitated basis or otherwise accepts material financial risk in providing the benefit, laws in various states may regulate the plan. Such laws may require that the party at risk establish reserves or otherwise demonstrate financial responsibility. Laws that may apply in such cases include insurance laws, HMO laws or limited prepaid health service plan laws. Currently, we do not believe that our PBM business incurs financial risk of the type subject to such regulation. However, if we choose to become a regional PDP for the Medicare outpatient prescription drug benefit at some time in the future, we would need to comply with state laws governing risk-bearing entities in the states where we operate a PDP.

 

State Discount Drug Card Regulation

 

Numerous states have laws and/or regulations regulating the selling, marketing, promoting, advertising or distributing of commercial discount drug cards for cash purchases. Such laws and regulations provide, generally, that any person may bring an action for damages or seek an injunction for violations. We administer a limited commercial discount drug card program that we do not consider material to our business. We believe the administration of the commercial discount drug card program is in compliance with various state laws. However, we cannot assure you that the existence of such laws will not materially impact our ability to offer certain new commercial products and/or services in the future.

 

Combined Federal and State Laws, Regulations and Other Standards Affecting HCCA

 

Certain aspects of our PBM business are or may be affected by bodies of law that exist at both the federal and state levels and by other standard setting entities. Among these are the following:

 

Pharmacy Licensure and Regulation

 

We are subject to state and federal statutes and regulations governing the operation of mail service pharmacies and the dispensing of controlled substances. The practice of pharmacy is generally regulated at the state level by state boards of pharmacy. Each of our pharmacies must be licensed in the state in which we are located. Also, many of the states where we deliver pharmaceuticals, including controlled substances, have laws and regulations that require out-of-state mail service pharmacies, such as us, to register with that state’s board of pharmacy or similar regulatory body. Federal statutes and regulations govern the labeling, packaging, advertising and adulteration of prescription drugs and the dispensing of controlled substances. Federal controlled substance laws require us to register our pharmacies with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration and to comply with security, record keeping, inventory control and labeling standards in order to dispense controlled substances. We are also subject to certain federal and state laws affecting Internet-based pharmacies because we dispense prescription drugs pursuant to refill orders received through our Internet websites, among other methods. Several states have proposed new laws to regulate Internet-based pharmacies, and federal regulation of Internet-based pharmacies by the FDA or another federal agency has also been proposed. Other statutes and regulations may affect our mail service operations. For example, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, requires mail service sellers of goods generally to engage in truthful advertising, to stock a reasonable supply of the products to be sold, to fill mail service orders within thirty days and to provide clients with refunds when appropriate. In addition, the United States Postal Service has statutory authority to restrict the transmission of drugs and medicines through the mail. Our pharmacists are subject to state regulation of the profession of pharmacy and employees engaged in a professional practice must satisfy applicable state licensing requirements.

Privacy and Confidentiality Legislation

 

Its activities involve the receipt, use and disclosure of confidential health information, including disclosure of the confidential information to a customer’s health benefit plan, as permitted in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy laws. In addition, HCCA use and disclose data that was identifying information removed for analytical and other purposes. Many state laws restrict the use and disclosure of confidential medical information, and similar new legislative and regulatory initiatives are underway at the state and federal level. To date, no such laws presently have adversely impacted its ability to provide its services, but HCCA cannot assure you that federal or state governments will not enact such legislation, impose restrictions or adopt interpretations of existing laws that could harm its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations issued thereunder (collectively “HIPAA”) impose extensive requirements on the way in which health plans, healthcare providers that engage in certain electronic financial and administrative transactions covered by HIPAA, and healthcare clearinghouses (known as “covered entities”) and the persons or entities that use or disclose protected health information, or PHI, to provide services to covered entities or to perform functions on their behalf (known as “business associates”), use, disclose and safeguard PHI, including requirements to protect the integrity, availability and confidentiality of electronic PHI. Many of these obligations were expanded under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinic Health Act (the “HITECH Act”), passed as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

 

The final privacy regulations, which is referred to as the Privacy Rule, issued by the Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) of HHS pursuant to HIPAA, give individuals the right to know how their PHI is used and disclosed, as well as the right to access, amend and obtain information concerning certain disclosures of PHI. Covered entities, such as pharmacies and health plans, are required to provide a written Notice of Privacy Practices to individuals that describes how the entity uses and discloses PHI, and how individuals may exercise their rights with respect to their PHI. For most uses and disclosures of PHI other than for treatment, payment, healthcare operations and certain public policy purposes, HIPAA generally requires that covered entities obtain a valid written individual authorization. In most cases, use or disclosure of PHI must be limited to the minimum necessary to achieve the purpose of the use or disclosure.

 

We are a covered entity under HIPAA in connection with our operation of a mail service pharmacy.

 

In connection with our other activities that require access to PHI, we are not considered a covered entity. However, our health plan clients and pharmacy customers are covered entities, and are required to enter into business associate agreements with vendors, such as PBMs, that perform a function or activity for the covered entity that involves the use or disclosure of individually identifiable health information. The business associate agreements mandated by the Privacy Rule create a contractual obligation for the business associate to perform its duties for the covered entity in compliance with the Privacy Rule. Effective February 17, 2010, the HITECH Act created a statutory obligation for us, when we acts as a business associate, to satisfy certain aspects of the Privacy Rule and the final HIPAA security regulations.

 

If we fail to comply with HIPAA or our policies and procedures are not sufficient to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of PHI, we could be subject to liability, fines and lawsuits under federal and state privacy laws, consumer protection statutes and other laws. Criminal penalties and civil sanctions may be imposed for failing to comply with HIPAA standards either as a covered entity or business associate, and these penalties and sanctions have significantly increased under the HITECH Act. In February 2011, OCR, the agency responsible for enforcing HIPAA and HITECH, issued the first civil monetary penalty ever imposed for a covered entity’s violation of the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Additionally, the HITECH Act requires OCR to conduct periodic compliance audits. Continued enforcement actions are likely to occur in the future. Furthermore, HITECH provides authority to state attorney generals to bring actions in federal court for violations of HIPAA on behalf of state residents harmed by such violations.

 

21
 

 

 

The final transactions and code sets regulation (the “Transaction Rule”) promulgated under HIPAA requires that all covered entities that engage in certain electronic transactions use standardized formats and code sets. We, in our role as a business associate of a covered entity, must conduct such transactions in accordance with the Transaction Rule. HHS promulgated a National Provider Identifiers, or NPI, Final Rule which requires health plans to utilize NPIs in all Standard Transactions. NPIs replaced National Association of Boards of Pharmacy numbers for pharmacies, Drug Enforcement Agency numbers for physicians and similar identifiers for other health care providers for purposes of identifying providers in connection with HIPAA standard transactions. We have undertaken the necessary arrangements to ensure that our standard transactions remain compliant with the Transaction Rule subsequent to the implementation of the NPI Final Rule.

 

The final security regulations (the “Security Rule”) issued pursuant to HIPAA mandate the use of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality of electronic PHI. As with the other two rules issued pursuant to HIPAA, the Security Rule applies to covered entities, and certain aspects of the Security Rule also apply to business associates. We have made the necessary arrangements to ensure compliance with the Security Rule for all aspects of our business.

 

We must also comply with the “breach notification” regulations, which implement provisions of the HITECH Act. Under these regulations, covered entities must promptly notify affected individuals and the HHS Secretary in the case of a breach of “unsecured PHI,” as well as the media in cases where a breach affects more than 500 individuals. Breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals must be reported to the HHS Secretary on an annual basis. The regulations also require business associates of covered entities to notify the covered entity of breaches at or by the business associate. We have taken and continue to take reasonable steps to reduce the amount of unsecured PHI we handle.

 

In addition, final regulations governing a covered entity’s obligation to provide are available upon individual request. A recently released proposed rule, if finalized, would require covered entities to develop systems to monitor which of their employees’ and business associates’ access an individual’s electronic PHI, at what time and date access occurs, and the action taken during the access session (e.g., modification, deletion, viewing). The proposed rule would also require information on access to electronic designated record sets held by business associates. The proposed regulations could impose significant burdens on covered entities and business associates that result from having to take reports generated for internal purposes and modify them for disclosure to patients or health plan enrollees.

 

While new and future legal interpretations could alter our assessment of our efforts to comply with provisions of HIPAA, the HITECH Act, and the Health Care Reform Laws that govern the privacy, security and standardization of health care information and transactions, we currently believe that compliance with these legal authorities should not harm our business operations.

 

Pursuant to HIPAA, state laws that are more protective of PHI are not pre-empted. Therefore, to the extent states continue to enact more protective legislation, we could be required to make significant changes to our business operations.

 

Independent of any regulatory restrictions, individual health plan clients could increase limitations on their use of medical information, which could prevent us from offering certain services.

 

The Health Care Reform Laws

 

On March 23, 2010, the President of the United States signed into law the most comprehensive change to America’s healthcare system in decades. The Health Care Reform Laws contain a variety of provisions that could have a significant impact on us and our customers. The Health Care Reform Laws provide the opportunity for significant expansion of our PBM activities. These potential benefits are the result of an expected increase in the number of individuals with health insurance and the potential increase in demand for pharmaceutical products and services.

 

22
 

 

However, the Health Care Reform Laws also present great uncertainty for us and potential risks to our operations and financial success. The Health Care Reform Laws contain many provisions intended to reduce the government’s healthcare costs through reimbursement reductions, alternative payment methods, and ongoing studies of healthcare reimbursement systems. For example, the Health Care Reform Laws establish the Independent Payment Advisory Board, or IPAB, which is designed to make proposals as early as 2014 to reduce the per capita rate of growth in Medicare spending in years when that growth exceeds established targets. Another potential source of reimbursement uncertainty is the newly established Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, or CMMI, which is designed to test the cost-cutting efficacy of innovative payment service delivery systems through demonstration projects. These types of provisions could have a significant impact on our profitability and our customers, particularly because of the unpredictability of the proposals that could be generated by the IPAB and the CMMI.

 

The Health Care Reform Laws also require PBMs to disclose certain information, including discounts and rebates obtained from pharmaceutical manufacturers, to PDP or MA-PD plan sponsors or qualified health benefits plans offered through an exchange. In addition, the Health Care Reform Laws change the calculation of Medicaid rebates in a way that could increase or decrease pharmaceutical manufacturers’ incentive to provide discounts and rebates to PBMs. These changes could have a negative impact on our revenues or business model. Additionally, the Health Care Reform Laws expand existing fraud and abuse provisions and significantly increase the resources available to the federal government to pursue fraud and abuse issues, which could expose us to greater scrutiny and possibly significant financial liability. For example, the Health Care Reform Laws extend the treble damages available for violations of the FCA to violations relating to the state-based health insurance exchanges created by the Health Care Reform Laws. Moreover, the Health Care Reform Laws establish new civil monetary penalties: $15,000 daily for failure to grant timely access to the OIG for the purposes of audits or investigations and $50,000 for each false record or statement knowingly submitted or caused to be submitted for payment of items furnished under a federal health care program. As a result, we may be forced to expend greater resources on monitoring and compliance programs and legal fees. Similarly, its customers may be subject to greater scrutiny and financial liability, which could indirectly put pressure on its financial relationships with those customers.

 

Aside from particular provisions of the Health Care Reform Laws, there is significant uncertainty about the implementation of the Health Care Reform Laws, likely through hundreds of new regulations, guidance documents, and other policy statements that could result in significant changes to our business model and the healthcare economy as a whole.

 

Political developments also continue to contribute to the uncertainty surrounding implementation of the Health Care Reform Laws. The Health Care Reform Laws will likely play an important role in the November 2012 elections, results of which may affect the timing, manner, and predictability of the Health Care Reform Laws’ regulatory implementation. The resulting unpredictability creates significant uncertainty for HCCA and its customers about the structure and regulatory environment of the healthcare market and future revenue sources.

 

Future Regulation

 

We are unable to predict accurately what, if any, additional federal or state legislation or regulatory initiatives may be enacted in the future relating to our businesses or the health care industry in general, or what effect any such legislation or regulations might have on us. For example, the federal government and several state governments have considered the Patients’ Bill of Rights and other similar legislation aimed primarily at improving quality of care provided to individuals in managed care plans. Some of the initiatives would provide greater access to drugs not included on health plan formularies, giving participants the right to sue their health plan for malpractice, and mandating an appeals or grievance process. We cannot assure you that federal or state governments will not impose additional restrictions, via a Patients’ Bill of Rights or otherwise, or adopt interpretations of existing laws that could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Employees

 

As of February 10, 2014, we had 50 employees, primarily located in Denville, New Jersey, who work full time for us. We have never had a work stoppage. Our personnel are not represented by any collective bargaining unit and are not unionized. We considers our relations with our personnel to be good. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified technical and managerial personnel, for whom competition is intense.

 

23
 

 

Customers

 

As of February 10, 2014, we had 52 customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue. We expect customer concentration, measured as the percent of total annual revenue that a single customer represents, to lessen even further over time as more customers contract with us.

 

Our customer base is drawn from several sources. In the fully-funded line, our clients tend to be smaller private employers and school boards, with anywhere from 15-700 members each. Our self-funded line is generally made up of larger government organizations and trade unions, with an increasing trend towards acquiring the business of larger and higher echelon governmental organizations. For Rx Savings Solutions, Our current customer base consists of very small companies and partnerships, with an upcoming shift to community-based healthcare programs. As we grow new product lines, we plan to expand to reach certain types of clinics, nursing facilities, and worker’s insurance.

RISK FACTORS

 

We have restated our financial statements in the past and may be required to do so in the future.

 

We have restated certain financial information in the past, including by issuing restated financial information for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP involves making estimates, judgments, interpretations and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and income. These estimates, judgments, interpretations and assumptions are often inherently imprecise or uncertain, and any necessary revisions to prior estimates, judgments, interpretations or assumptions could lead to further restatements. Any such restatement or correction may be highly time consuming, may require substantial attention from management and significant accounting costs, may result in adverse regulatory actions by the SEC and/or stockholder litigation, may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and/or may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our stock price.

 

Due to our inability to prepare audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 for HCCA, our predecessor, we are not compliant with our SEC filing obligations and our shareholders are therefore not eligible to sell securities pursuant to Rule 144 and the Company cannot file registration statements for the sale of our securities with the SEC.

 

Due to significant deficiencies in HCCA’s record keeping in the year ended December 31, 2011, we have been unable to prepare audited financial statements for HCCA for such year. Therefore, our shareholders are not eligible to sell securities pursuant to Rule 144 and we cannot file registration statements for the sale of our securities with the SEC. The market for our securities will be extremely limited until our stockholders are able to sell securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we are able to file a registration statement with the SEC relating to the sale of our securities. In addition, because we are unable to satisfy our obligations to have a registration statement effective under the terms of certain registration rights agreements, we have accrued estimated liquidated damages of approximately $864,000. There can be no assurance that the actual liquidated damages will not exceed that amount.

 

We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs to allow us to continue as a going concern.

 

We have been able to complete various financings as described herein during 2012 and 2013. Nevertheless, as of February 2014 we have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs to allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our obtaining additional adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable and generate cash flows from our operations. We are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations. We are contemplating conducting additional offering of its debt or equity securities to obtain additional operating capital. There are no assurances we will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.

  

Our future growth is dependent on further market acceptance and increased market penetration of our products.

 

Our business model depends on our ability to sell our products and services. Achieving increased market acceptance of our products and services will require substantial sales and marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant financial and other resources to create awareness and demand by participants in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Additionally, payors, which may have invested substantial resources in other methods of conducting business and exchanging information, may be reluctant to purchase our products and services.

 

We cannot be assured that payors will purchase our products and services. If we fail to achieve broad acceptance of our products and services by payors, and other healthcare industry participants, or if we fail to position our services as a preferred method for pharmaceutical healthcare delivery, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be harmed.

 

Competition in our industry is intense and we compete against companies with greater resources than we have, which could limit our growth potential.

 

The PBM industry is very competitive. If we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could suffer. The industry is highly consolidated and dominated by a few large companies with significant resources, purchasing power, and other competitive advantages, which we do not have. A limited number of firms, including national PBM companies, such as SXC Health Solutions, Inc., Medco Health Solutions, Inc., Express Scripts, Inc. and CVS Caremark Corporation, control a significant share of prescription volume. Moreover, the recent merger activity between Express Scripts, Inc. and Medco Health Solutions, Inc., and between SXC Health Solutions, Inc. and Catalyst Health Solutions, Inc. may further increase the market share of our competitors. Our competitors also include drug retailers, physician practice management companies, and insurance companies/health maintenance organizations. We may also experience competition from other sources in the future. PBM companies compete primarily on the basis of price, service, reporting capabilities and clinical services. In most cases, our competitors are large, profitable, and well-established companies with substantially greater financial and marketing resources than we have. Our limited resources may make it more difficult for us to compete with the larger companies in our industry and limit our growth.

 

25
 

 

Pending litigation could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows.

 

From time to time we are engaged in lawsuits which may require significant management time and attention and legal expense, and may result in an unfavorable outcome, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows. Current estimates of loss regarding pending litigation are based on information that is then available to us and may not reflect any particular final outcome. The results of rulings, judgments or settlements of pending litigation may result in financial liability that is materially higher than what management has estimated at this time. We make no assurances that we will not be subject to liability with respect to current or future litigation. We maintain various forms of insurance coverage. However, substantial rulings, judgments or settlements could exceed the amount of insurance coverage or could be excluded under the terms of an existing insurance policy.

 

During 2012, we filed suit against our past adjudicator of claims for overcharges, over payment on claims, errors and misclassifications, and rebates owed from drug manufacturers for over $5 million. The adjudicator of claims filed a counterclaim in the amount of $2.9 million for amounts it claims are owed to it by us. In August 2013, we settled the suit with the claims adjudicator. Under the terms of the settlement we agreed to pay the claims adjudicator $2.7 million over 15 months commencing in September 2013.

 

On August 14, 2012, we entered into a settlement with a shareholder to buy back 500,000 shares of common stock for $100,000. The settlement also called for us to pay $50,000 to the shareholder to settle claims against us. We paid the settlement and received these shares in February 2013. A stock redemption was recorded on December 31, 2012 in the amount of $100,000.

 

We are dependent on key customers, the loss of which could significantly harm our results of operations.

 

We generate a significant portion of our revenue from a small number of customers (73 at present). Our largest customer, East Orange New Jersey Board of Education, accounts for 10.3% of our annual December 2012 revenue. No other customers account for more than 10% of our total revenue.

 

Although we continually seek to diversify our customer base, we may be unable to offset the effects of an adverse change in one of our key customer relationships. For example, if our existing customers elect not to renew their contracts with us at the expiry of the current terms of those contracts, or require that we reduce the level of service offerings we provide, our recurring revenue base will be reduced, which could harm our results of operations. If the healthcare benefits industry or our customers in the healthcare benefits industry experience problems, they may curtail spending on our products and services and our business and financial results could be harmed.

 

26
 

 

Costs and uncertainty associated with competitive bidding for client contracts could significantly harm our results of operations.

 

Many of our clients put their contracts out for competitive bidding prior to expiration. Competitive bidding requires costly and time-consuming efforts on our behalf. We could lose clients if such clients cancel their agreements, if we fail to win a competitive bid at the time of contract renewal, if the financial condition of any of our private clients deteriorates or if our clients are acquired by, or acquire, companies with which we do not have contracts. We often compete against much larger companies or PBMs which are captive, that is, they are subsidiaries of large medical insurance or other health benefit companies. These may have more substantial buying power and may lower their prices to win business further than we can afford to.

 

Due to the term of our contracts with customers, if we are unable to renew those contracts at the same service levels previously provided, or at all, or replace any lost customers, our future business and results of operations would be harmed.

 

Our contracts with customers generally do not have terms longer than one year and, in some cases, are terminable by the customer on relatively short notice. Our larger customers generally seek bids from other PBM providers in advance of the expiration of their contracts. There is no guarantee that we will win contacts as they expire, and we must continue to provide savings and quality service at lower cost in order to retain business. At some point it may not be profitable for us to retain certain clients if competition undercuts it.

 

A substantial portion of our previous growth was due to our creation of a private label product with a healthcare management company. If this product does not increase revenue in future periods, our growth could be negatively impacted.

 

We created a private label product a for a healthcare management company, which resulted in a substantial amount of revenue for us. Since April 2013, the regional health benefits provider no longer offers the private-label PMB product to new customers, though it does continue to provide the product to customers who previously selected the private-label product. Accordingly, we do not currently anticipate increased revenue from this client in the near future. If business from this private label product does not generate increased revenue and if we are unable to secure new partnerships, our growth would be limited and our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer .

 

If rebate payments that we receive from pharmaceutical manufacturers and rebate processing service providers decline, our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be negatively impacted.

 

We receive fees from a rebate clearing house aggregator based on the use of selected drugs by members of health plans sponsored by its clients, as well as fees for other programs and services. Because these fees are significant relative to the margins for our PBM business, we believe our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could suffer if:

 

·the rebate aggregator loses relationships with one or more key pharmaceutical manufacturers;

 

·the rebate aggregator is unable to finalize rebate contracts with one or more key pharmaceutical manufacturers in the future, or is unable to negotiate interim arrangements;

 

·rebates decline due to failure of the rebate aggregator to meet market share or other thresholds;

 

·legal restrictions are imposed on the ability of pharmaceutical manufacturers to offer rebates or purchase our programs or services;

 

·pharmaceutical manufacturers choose not to offer rebates or purchase our programs or services; or

 

·rebates decline due to contract branded products losing their patents.

 

27
 

 

Government efforts to reduce health care costs and alter health care financing practices could lead to a decreased demand for our services or to reduced rebates from manufacturers.

 

The Health Care Reform Laws and other proposals considered by Congress related to health care, could impact PBMs directly (e.g. requiring disclosure of information about pricing and product switches), or indirectly (e.g. modifying reimbursement rates for pharmaceutical manufacturers participating in government programs). The Health Care Reform Laws and other health care related proposals may increase government involvement in healthcare and regulation of PBM, pharmacy services and managed care plans, or otherwise change the way that we do business. Some of these initiatives would, among other things, require that health plan members have greater access to drugs not included on a plan’s formulary and give health plan members the right to sue their health plans for malpractice when they have been denied care. Health plan sponsors may react to the Health Care Reform Laws or other health care related proposals and the uncertainty surrounding them by cutting back or delaying the purchase of our PBM services, and manufacturers may react by reducing rebates or reducing supplies of certain products. These proposals could lead to a decreased demand for our services or to reduced rebates from manufacturers. We cannot predict what effect, if any, these proposals may have on our businesses. PBMs have recently been subject to enhanced political scrutiny as certain U.S. Senators have criticized PBMs for entering into agreements with manufacturers to allegedly limit access to generic products and for allegedly contributing to over-utilization and off-label use of some antipsychotic drugs. This enhanced scrutiny may result in increased audits or examination of the PBM industry. Further, in the FY 2012 Workplan, the HHS Office of Inspector General, or OIG, has also indicated intent to focus on PBMs, with plans to review the rebates collected by Medicare Part D sponsors and PBMs and analyze whether there are any discrepancies between the rebate amounts negotiated between PBMs and manufacturers and the actual rebates paid. Other legislative or market-driven changes in the healthcare system that we cannot anticipate could also harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Prescription volumes may decline, and HCCA’s net revenues and profitability may be negatively impacted, if the safety risk profiles of drugs increase or if drugs are withdrawn from the market, including as a result of manufacturing issues, or if prescription drugs transition to over-the-counter products.

 

We dispense significant volumes of brand-name and generic drugs from our mail-order pharmacy. When increased safety risk profiles or manufacturing issues of specific drugs or classes of drugs result in utilization decreases, physicians may cease writing or otherwise reduce the numbers of prescriptions for these drugs. Additionally, negative press regarding drugs with higher safety risk profiles may result in reduced global consumer demand for such drugs. On occasion, products are withdrawn by their manufacturers or transition to over-the-counter products. In cases where there are no acceptable prescription drug equivalents or alternatives for these prescription drugs, our volumes, net revenues, profitability and cash flows may decline.

 

Our operations are vulnerable to interruption by damage from a variety of sources, many of which are not within our control.

 

The success of our business depends in part on our ability to operate our systems without interruption. Our systems are vulnerable to, among other things, power loss and telecommunications failures, software and hardware errors, failures or crashes, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems, and fire, flood, and other natural disasters. Although we take precautions to guard against and minimize damage from these and other potential risks, including implementing disaster recovery systems and procedures, they are often unpredictable and beyond our control. Any significant interruptions in our services could damage our reputation in the marketplace and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are subject to a number of existing laws, regulations, and industry initiatives, non-compliance with which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We could suffer civil and/or criminal penalties, lose customers, and be required to pay substantial damages or make significant changes to its operations if we fail to comply with complex and rapidly evolving laws and regulations.

 

28
 

 

During the past several years, the U.S. health care industry has been subject to an increase in government regulation at both the federal and state levels. Numerous state and federal laws and regulations affect our business and operations. The categories include, but are not limited to:

 

·health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the federal Anti-kickback Statute, the federal

  

·Civil False Claims Act, and comparable state law counterparts, which prohibit certain types of payments and referrals as well as false claims made in connection with health benefit programs;

 

·privacy and confidentiality laws and regulations, including those under HIPAA and HITECH;

 

·ERISA and related regulations, which regulate many health care plans;

 

·potential regulation of the PBM industry by the FDA;

 

·Medicare prescription drug coverage laws and related regulations promulgated by CMS;

 

·consumer protection and unfair trade practice laws and regulations;

 

·various licensure laws, such as state insurance, managed care and third party administrator licensure laws;

 

·pharmacy laws and regulations;

 

·antitrust lawsuits challenging PBM pricing practices;

 

·state legislation regulating PBMs or imposing fiduciary status on PBMs;

 

·drug pricing legislation, including, but not limited to, “most favored nation” pricing and “unitary pricing” legislation;

 

·other Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement regulations promulgated by CMS;

 

·pending legislation regarding importation of drug products into the U.S.;

 

·legislation imposing benefit plan design restrictions, which limit how our customers can design their drug benefit plans;

 

·network pharmacy access laws, including, but not limited to, “any willing provider” and “due process” legislation, that affect aspects of our pharmacy network contracts; and

 

·formulary development and disclosure laws.

 

We devote significant operational and managerial resources to comply with these laws and regulations. Although we have not been notified, and are not otherwise aware, of any material claim of non-compliance, we cannot assure you that we are in compliance with all existing legal requirements material to our business. Different interpretations and enforcement policies of these laws and regulations could subject our current practices to allegations of impropriety or illegality, or could require us to make significant changes to our operations. In addition, we cannot predict the impact of future legislation and regulatory changes on our business or assure you that we will be able to obtain or maintain the regulatory approvals required to operate our business.

 

We cannot predict whether or when future healthcare reform initiatives by U.S. federal or state, Canadian or other foreign regulatory authorities will be proposed, enacted or implemented or what impact those initiatives may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, government regulation could alter the clinical workflow of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare participants, thereby limiting the utility of our products and services to existing and potential customers and resulting in a negative impact on market acceptance of our products and services.

 

29
 

 

Our mail-order pharmacy is dependent on our relationships with a limited number of suppliers, and the loss of any of these relationships could significantly impact our ability to sustain and/or improve our financial performance.

 

We acquire a substantial percentage of our mail-order pharmacy prescription drug supply from a limited number of suppliers. Our agreements with these suppliers may be short-term and cancelable by either party without cause with a relatively short time-frame of prior notice. These agreements may limit our ability to provide services for competing drugs during the term of the agreement and allow the supplier to distribute through channels other than us. Further, certain of these agreements allow pricing and other terms of these relationships to be periodically adjusted for changing market conditions or required service levels. A termination or modification to any of these relationships could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any products we distribute are in short supply for long periods of time, this could result in harm to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If our security systems are breached, outsiders could gain access to information we are required to keep confidential, and we could be subject to liability and customers could be deterred from using our services.

 

Our business relies on using the Internet to transmit confidential information. However, the difficulty of securely transmitting confidential information over the Internet has been a significant barrier to engaging in sensitive communications over the Internet, and is an important concern of our existing and prospective customers. Publicized compromise of Internet security, including third-party misappropriation of patient information or other data, or a perception of any such security breach, may deter people from using the Internet for these purposes, which would result in an unwillingness to use our systems to conduct transactions that involve transmitting confidential healthcare information. Further, if we are unable to protect the physical and electronic security and privacy of our databases and transactions, we could be subject to potential liability and regulatory action, our reputation and customer relationships would be harmed, and our business, operations, and financial results may be harmed.

 

We are highly dependent on senior management and key employees. Competition for our employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees that we need to support our business.

 

Our success largely depends on the skills, experience, and continued efforts of our management and other key personnel, and on our ability to continue to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified individuals. Competition for senior management and other key personnel is intense, and the pool of suitable candidates is limited. If we lose the services of one or more of our key employees, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

 

Our ability to provide high-quality services to our customers also depends in large part upon the experience and expertise of our employees generally. We must attract and retain highly qualified personnel with a deep understanding of the healthcare and PBM industries. We compete with a number of companies for experienced personnel and many of these companies, including customers and competitors, have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to customers and competitors who may seek to recruit them and increases the cost of replacing them. If we are unable to attract or retain qualified employees, the quality of our services could diminish and we may be unable to meet its business and financial goals.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

All of our operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, HCCA, which we acquired on April 10, 2013. HCCA, is a Pharmacy Benefit Manager, or PBM. Our mission is to reduce prescription drug costs for clients while improving the quality of care. We administer prescription drug benefits programs for employers who contract with us directly in order to provide this component of healthcare benefits to their employees. We are also the PBM for healthcare management companies who partner with us in order to provide prescription drug benefits along with their core offering, other health benefits products, to their clients.

 

Restatement, Reclassification and Revised Guidance

 

On May 9, 2013, we issued a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that our Board of Directors, after consultation with, and upon recommendation from, our management, concluded the previously issued audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 for HCCA, which we recently acquired and which is currently our wholly owned subsidiary, should no longer be relied upon and that disclosure should be made, and action should be taken, to prevent future reliance on such financial statements. For a description of the basis for the Board’s determination, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 9, 2013, which description is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Our officers discussed the foregoing matters with HCCA’s independent registered public accounting firm during the period, Thomas J. Harris, Certified Public Accountant. The Board of Directors authorized and directed that our officers take the appropriate and necessary actions to amend and restate the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”), pursuant to which HCCA’s financial statements were filed with the SEC on May 16, 2013.

 

The restated financial statements also include certain reclassifications related to revenue and cost of sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. We previously disclosed in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on March 25, 2013 and April 16, 2013 HCCA’s practice of recognizing revenue from rebates as well as from its mail-order pharmacy business. HCCA has reclassified these figures as decreases to cost of sales, with the exception of co-pays from members who order from its mail-order facility. There is no impact on gross profit, nor is there an impact on operating expenses related to this reclassification. We believe this classification for revenues and cost of sales represents the practice of some of our largest competitors, including Catamaran.

 

On September 16, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with, and upon recommendation from, management of the Company, concluded that the previously issued and restated audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 of HCCA, and the previously issued unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of HCCA, should no longer be relied upon and that disclosure should be made, and action should be taken, to prevent future reliance on such financial statements. The Company reported this information in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 16, 2013.

 

Our officers discussed the foregoing matters with HCCA’s independent registered public accounting firm during the period, Thomas J. Harris, Certified Public Accountant. The Board of Directors authorized and directed that our officers take the appropriate and necessary actions to amend and restate the Original 8-K. As a result we reviewed our financial statements in an attempt to discover all the material errors and misstatements that were included therein. As part of this review we engaged external consultants to review and investigate our books and records and other related transactions and activities for 2012 and 2011.

 

On November 11, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company had discovered additional issues that necessitated an in-depth analysis of the books and records of HCCA for 2011, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a result of this review our management concluded that it will be unable to complete our restated 2011 financial statements, due to lack of sufficient source documents and other information, and that, as a result of the analysis, management had decided to exclude the 2011 income statement from our Transition Report on Form 10-K, in which it would otherwise be required, and that we would adjust the financial statements for 2012 and the 6 months ended June 30, 2013 to reflect the correction of the errors that were discovered.

 

31
 

 

The errors requiring a restatement of HCCA’s financial statements will result in material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which will be noted in the amended filings. In order to help prevent similar accounting errors in the future, the Company has hired a new CFO effective as of June 3, 2013 and instituted new procedures and controls where all material schedules and related journal entries are reviewed by the CFO on a monthly basis. On January 7, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors established an Audit Committee consisting of Mr. Thomas Rebar and Edmundo Gonzalez, with Mr. Rebar as Chairman. In addition, the Company is in the process of locating additional independent directors eligible to serve on the audit committee.

 

New Client Acquisition and Launch of Partnership with Healthcare Management Companies

 

HCCA continued to grow revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The acquisition of new clients caused HCCA’s revenue to increase from $9.43 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 to $11.96 million in the first quarter of 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, HCCA added 9 new customers with estimated annual revenues of approximately $9 million and lost one customer with estimated annual revenues of $400,000.

 

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 we added 26 customers and ended the year with 53 customers. Our revenues grew by 161% from approximately $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 to approximately $9.4 million for the fourth quarter 2012, as we added larger size groups.

 

Self-funded business

 

The growth in HCCA’s self-funded business in 2012 and the first quarter of 2013 was partly driven by the commencement of HCCA’s partnership in 2012 with a third-party healthcare management company. HCCA has created a private-label version of its core product specifically for its members. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, HCCA added 6 customers with approximately $5.6 million of estimated annual revenues from this partnership.

 

HCCA’s self-funded business also drove growth in 2012. The estimated annual revenues from the new contracts won in HCCA’s self-funded business grew by approximately $15.1 million in 2012. Approximately half of the self-funded contracts won in 2012 started or will start in first months of 2013.

 

Fully-funded business

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, HCCA’s fully-funded business added 3 customers with approximately $3.4 million of estimated annual revenues. The estimated annual revenues from the new contracts won in 2012 in HCCA’s fully-funded business grew by approximately $17 million.

Results of Operations

 

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012

 

Revenue

 

HCCA’s revenue includes revenues earned on its fully funded and self- funded plans. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $11,961,723, an increase of $8,369,098, or 233% as compared to revenue of $3,592,625 for the first quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to significant growth in HCCA’s core PBM business (Fully-Funded and Self-Funded). HCCA’s revenue is based on contracts that generally last for one year and are billed on a monthly basis. Revenue is recognized as the products and services are delivered to members (typically employees of the client).

 

33
 

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $11,450,011, an increase of $8,009,702 or 233%, as compared to $3,440,309 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to HCCA’s growth in its core business.

 

HCCA’s cost of revenue for its PBM business derives from the cost of claims related to its clients. All claims are adjudicated via the Argus system. Cost of claims includes the cost of drugs dispensed and charged by pharmacies servicing HCCA’s members and an administrative fee charged by Argus. The cost of claims relating to HCCA’s mail-order pharmacy, which directly services our members, exclusively comes from the cost of each individual drug as set by the manufacturer. HCCA’s mail-order pharmacy purchases drugs from various suppliers, who are mainly drug wholesalers.

 

Rebates received from pharmaceutical manufacturers are recorded as reduction of cost of revenues, and the portion of the rebate payable to customers is treated as reduction of revenues.

 

Gross Profit

 

HCCA’s gross profit increased from $152,316 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $511,712 in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Gross margin was 4.3% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 4.2% in the first quarter of 2012.

 

SG&A Costs

 

HCCA’s SG&A costs totaled $2,974,020 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1,376,864 in the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing an increase of 115%. SG&A costs derive primarily from Wages and Stock Based Compensation Costs, which represented 48% of SG&A in the three months ended March 31, 2013, and from commissions on sales to brokers that bring HCCA business, which totaled 14% of SG&A in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in SG&A costs is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of HCCA employees that were over the last year to support the growth of the business. Increased commissions to brokers, as more business was booked in the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus the same period in 2012 also contributed to the increase in SG&A. Lastly, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 HCCA incurred substantial legal costs in connection with its legal claim against Data Rx Management, Inc., a former claims adjudicator, which also contributed to increased SG&A.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $74,693, an increase of $25,693, or 52%, as compared to $49,000for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to depreciation of more furniture, fixtures and equipment. HCCA also expanded its facilities at its headquarters in Denville, New Jersey, in 2012, and the increased amount of property and equipment gave rise to increased depreciation. HCCA’s depreciated assets consist of furniture and fixtures as well as some equipment in HCCA’s mail-order pharmacy. HCCA depreciates assets based on the useful life of the asset using the straight line method.

 

Interest Income and Expense and Other Expense, net

 

Interest income and expense and other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $1,186,305, an increase of $1,183,304 as compared to an expense of $3,001 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the Bridge Financing, which HCCA consummated on September 19, 2012. This is shown on the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2013 as a Note Payable of $4,804,265, Warrant Liability of $242,287 and Redeemable Preferred Stock of $2,362,517. HCCA incurred $874,264 in offering expenses related to the bridge loan, and these expenses are being amortized over the life of the loan. Interest Expense of $1,186,305 shown on the Income Statement is a combination of actual interest on the bridge loan plus amortization of the capitalized offering expenses as well as interest expenses incurred on the capital leases. As discussed above, the Bridge Financing was repaid in full in April 2013.

SG&A Costs

 

HCCA’s SG&A costs totaled $6,916,707 in 2012. SG&A expenses grew during 2012 as HCCA added new customers increasing its revenues and its expenses. Total SG&A grew by $1,042,387 or 76% from the first quarter of 2012 to the fourth quarter of 2012. For the year approximately 60% of SG&A costs or $4,125,363 were wages and related taxes as well as commissions to brokers. These costs increased during the year as HCCA grew its revenues and added employees. For the fourth quarter of 2012 wages related taxes and commissions were $1,372,364 up 70% or $565,916 compared to the first quarter of 2012 when these expenses amounted to $806,448.

The increase was primarily attributable to depreciation of more furniture, fixtures and equipment. HCCA also expanded its facilities at its headquarters in Denville, New Jersey in 2012, and the increased amount of property and equipment gave rise to increased depreciation. HCCA’s depreciated assets consist of furniture and fixtures as well as some equipment in HCCA’s mail-order pharmacy. HCCA depreciates assets based on the useful life of the asset using the straight line method.

 

Net Interest Expense and Other Expense, net

 

Net interest expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $1,130,184. The increase was primarily attributable to the Bridge Financing, which HCCA consummated on September 19, 2012, and which created debt of $5,925,000. This is shown on the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 as a Note Payable of $4,192,954, Warrant Liability of $121,350 and Redeemable Preferred Stock of $2,362,511. HCCA incurred $824,264 in offering expenses related to the Bridge Financing, and these expenses are being amortized over the life of the loan. Net interest expense of $1,130,184 shown on the Income Statement is a combination of actual interest on the bridge loan plus capitalized expenses allocated for the period from September 19, 2012 to December 31, 2012 and also includes $30,277 of interest related to HCCA’s capital leases.

 

35
 

 

Other expenses included a change of $641,142 representing the estimated fair market value of shares issued to two entities believed to be controlled by a former consultant of the Company. The Company is investigating the circumstances under which these shares were issued.

 

Income Taxes

 

HCCA owed no income tax for 2011 or 2012.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

HCCA defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as well as stock-based compensation expense and one-time, non-recurring items.

 

HCCA reports Adjusted EBITDA because it is a measure used by management to evaluate HCCA’s operational results and because HCCA believes it will be helpful to stockholders to understand how management evaluates HCCA’s performance. This measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

 

A reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

HCCA’s sources of liquidity have historically primarily consisted of cash provided from purchases of equity and debt securities of the company by investors.

 

Since its inception through March 31, 2013 HCCA incurred accumulated (deficit) of ($14,288,155) and it continued to generate losses since April 1, 2013 through February 2014.

 

In addition net cash flows (used in) operations were approximately $7.9 million in fiscal 2012 and approximately $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2013. HCCA continued to generate substantial negative cash flows from operations since April 1, 2013 through February 2014.

 

We have generate substantial losses, while successfully completing various financings as described herein during 2012 and 2013. Nevertheless, as of the date of this report we have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs to allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our obtaining additional adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable and generate cash flows from our operations. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations. We are contemplating conducting additional offering of our debt or equity securities to obtain additional operating capital. There are no assurances we will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.

  

In connection with the Bridge Financing completed by HCCA in September 2012, HCCA issued 59.25 units, each unit consisting of 10,000 preferred shares and a promissory note with a face value of $100,000. At the time of the Merger, holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock of HCCA, by virtue of the Merger, had each of their shares of preferred stock of HCCA converted into the right to receive a proportional amount of 592,500 shares of Selway Series C common stock and warrants to purchase 296,250 shares of Selway Series C common stock. In accordance with the terms of the promissory notes issued in the Bridge Financing, at the time of the Merger, notes in the aggregate amount of $3,159,591.78 (including principal and interest accrued to date) were converted into 315,959 shares of Selway Series C common stock and notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,025,000 were repaid in full.

 

At the completion of the Merger, HCCA received $4.9 million in cash, after expenses related to the transaction, including investment banking fees, legal and other costs. In connection with the Merger, on April 10, 2013, Selway entered into exchange agreements with 3 beneficial holders of greater than 5% of Selway’s Series A common stock. Pursuant to the exchange agreements, such holders converted an aggregate of 878,481 shares of Selway’s Series A common stock to Selway’s Series C common stock and received $3.53 per share of Series A common stock exchanged, or an aggregate of $3,101,037.93.

 

Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, on April 11, 2013, PCA and PCA Benefits, Inc. (together, the “Borrower”), the wholly-owned subsidiaries of HCCA, entered into a credit and security agreement, as amended, with a fund managed by Muneris Capital Group (“Muneris”) for a secured revolving credit facility with an initial aggregate credit limit of $2,000,000 (the “Muneris Facility”). The facility was terminated in September 2013 due to HCCA’s inability to meet certain financial covenants.

 

On July 17, 2013, Selway obtained a $5,000,000 loan (the “PFG Loan”) from Partners for Growth III, LP (“PFG”) for a term of five years, with HCCA, PCA and PCA Benefits, Inc. serving as guarantors. Interest on the PFG Loan is payable on a monthly basis at an annual rate of prime (as quoted by the Wall Street Journal or other nationally recognized rate quoting service reasonably acceptable to Lender) plus 5.25% per annum, provided that the interest rate will automatically be reduced to prime plus 3.25% if our revenues and EBITDA for the six months ending December 31, 2013 exceed $35.5 million and $(3.1 million), respectively. The principal amount of the PFG Loan and all other accrued and unpaid monetary obligations under the loan and security agreement shall be repaid on July 17, 2018, unless earlier amortized, converted, or prepaid.

The agreement governing the PFG Loan contains certain financial covenants, including the requirement to: (i) maintain a cash and cash equivalents balance of at least $2 million from July 17, 2013 to January 31, 2014 and at least $3 million from February 1, 2014 to July 17, 2018; and (ii) limit our principal borrowings under the Muneris Facility at any given time to no more than $5 million, unless our EBITDA exceeds $0 in three consecutive months, upon which any increase in the amount of indebtedness under the Muneris Facility may not result in principal borrowings under the facility to exceed $25,000,000 without PFG’s consent. The agreement also includes customary negative covenants and financial reporting requirements, as well as certain customary events of default that would render all outstanding amounts under the agreement immediately due and payable, including but not limited to: (i) our failure to pay amounts due within 3 business days after the due date; (ii) PFG ceasing to have a valid perfected first priority security interest in any material portion of the collateral; (iii) we or any current subsidiary undergoing a change in the ownership of 35% or more of the voting power of its then outstanding securities; (iv) we or any current subsidiary acquiring or disposing of any assets, except as relates to certain permitted investments, including but not limited the incorporation of certain new subsidiaries, provided however that PFG may elect to add such new subsidiaries as guarantors for the PFG Loan.

 

Pursuant to the terms of agreement governing the PFG Loan, we issued a senior convertible note to PFG, in the amount of $5,000,000, representing the principal amount of the PFG Loan. All amounts owing under the Note are convertible, at PFG’s option, into Selway Series C common stock at an initial rate of $8.00 per share. The Note is also subject to mandatory conversion by us in the event that certain conditions are met. Additionally, as part of consideration for the PFG Loan, we issued to PFG and its designees warrants to purchase an aggregate of 220,000 shares of Series C common stock, for $7.50 per share, at any time on or prior to July 17, 2018. In order to include a provision in the loan and security agreement allowing us to prepay the PFG Loan, we issued to PFG and its designees an aggregate of 625,000 warrants that are not exercisable unless and until we choose to prepay the PFG Loan in full. These warrants will become exercisable, for $8.00 per share, only upon our optional prepayment of the loan in full, and will expire on July 17, 2018.

 

For a more detailed description of the terms of the PFG Loan, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 23, 2013, which description is incorporated by reference herein.

 

On December 31, 2013, we entered into a Forbearance, Waiver and Modification No. 1 to the PFG Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the modification, we received an additional $500,000 in loan proceeds, the conversion price was reduced from $7.50 to $2.50, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants was increased from 220,000 to 555,000 shares, among other changes. For a more detailed description of the terms of the modification, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 3, 2014, which description is incorporated by reference herein.

 

On December 31, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with certain purchasers (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) named therein and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Agent”) as administrative and collateral agent. Pursuant to the SPA, we issued $2,112,500 of Junior Secured Convertible Term Notes (the “Notes”), which Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial fixed conversion price equal to $1.50 per share. The Purchasers of Notes also received warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase one share for every $1.50 of Notes purchased by such Purchaser. We completed the initial closing of a private placement of Notes and Warrants under the SPA on December 31, 2013, and may continue to make subsequent placements under the SPA until it has placed an aggregate of $6,000,000 in Notes under the SPA or the date that is 30 days after the date of such initial closing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Loss per common share:

 

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

 

Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income taxes:

 

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Warrant Liability

 

We account for the warrants issued in connection our initial public offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance on Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which provides that we classify the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjust the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Our principal business operations are conducted from a 15,000 square foot leased office facility located at 66 Ford Road, Suite 230, Denville, NJ, 07834. This lease expires in February 28, 2017.

1.Effective January 3, 2014, Natasha Giordano was appointed our Chief Executive Officer and President.

Ms. Giordano did not serve as an executive officer of our company prior to such time. The Company entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Giordano dated December 3, 2013 and amended it on December 31, 2013. The agreement was not effective until certain conditions were met. Such conditions were satisfied on December 31, 2013. The agreement, as amended, provides for an employment term of three years, during which Ms. Giordano will receive an initial annual base salary of $420,000. Ms. Giordano will also be eligible for an annual bonus equal to up to 50% of her base salary based on the achievement of annual targets established by the Board. Upon effectiveness of her appointment, Ms. Giordano shall be granted a ten-year option to acquire shares of common stock of the Company equal to 4.7% of the fully diluted equity of the Company. The option will be exercisable for the greater of the conversion price of the notes issued in the Private Placement or the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of issuance. Pursuant to the employment agreement, in the event that Ms. Giordano is terminated without cause or Ms. Giordano terminates employment for good reason prior to the end of the employment term, she will be entitled to: (i) all accrued obligations, including salary, expense reimbursement, etc.; (ii) a pro-rated bonus for the year of termination; (iii) one year’s salary; (iv) her targeted annual bonus for the twelve months following termination; (v) the automatic vesting of the option issued at the time of appointment; and (vi) health insurance benefits for the twelve months following termination. In the event of Ms. Giordano’s death during the employment term, her spouse or estate will be entitled to: (i) all accrued obligations, including salary, expense reimbursement, etc.; (ii) one year’s base salary; (iii) a pro-rated bonus for the year of death; and (iv) the automatic vesting of the option issued at the time of appointment.

Effective June 3, 2013, Yoran Bibring was appointed our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Bibring did not serve as an executive officer of our company prior to such time. Pursuant to an employment agreement with Mr. Bibring dated May 9, 2013, as amended, Mr. Bibring is to receive an annual base salary of $250,000 for a three year term and a one-time signing bonus of $18,500. Mr. Bibring will also be eligible for a $100,000 annual bonus based on the terms and conditions of our bonus plan for senior management, of which 50% may, at our discretion, be paid in registered shares of our common stock. We have agreed to issue to Mr. Bibring an option to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, upon our implementation of a fully approved and legally compliant employee stock compensation program. These options will vest over a three year period in monthly increments beginning November 1, 2013; provided, however, that the options will vest immediately upon the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets or the sale of more than 50% of the shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally for the election of our directors.
   
2.No longer employed by the Company.

*On April 22, 2013, Ms. Saskowitz’s base salary was increased to $240,000 through the end of her employment term. All other terms under her employment agreement remain unchanged.
   
1.Company sales for January 1, 2013 – June 30, 2013 were not equal to or in excess of $50 million, so no additional salary was paid.
   
2.Company sales for April 1, 2013 – March 31, 2014 are equal to or in excess of $150 million.
   
3.Company sales for April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015 are equal to or in excess of $300 million.

 

We did not have a stock option plan or a restricted stock program in the transition period ended June 30, 2013 or the years ended 2012 and 2011. Key executives did not receive bonuses during these years.

 

The key executives of HCCA are also significant stockholders. As owner-managers, the key executives believe that much of the reward for their talent and efforts will be through the appreciation of their shares, which they purchased in previous years and/or in the process of forming HCCA.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

As of February 10, 2014, none of our directors has received any compensation from us other than compensation for service as an officer to us or HCCA if such director were also an officer. Although we plan to do so, we have not yet determined the compensation we will pay to our independent directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

We or one of our subsidiaries may occasionally enter into transactions with certain “related parties.” Related parties include our executive officers, directors, nominees for directors, a beneficial owner of 5% or more of our common stock and immediate family members of these parties. We refer to transactions involving amounts in excess of $120,000 and in which the related party has a direct or indirect material interest as “related party transactions.”

 

Otis Fund, a company controlled by Victor Wexler, has a consulting agreement to provide marketing and sales services to HCCA. The contract expires on January 2, 2017. The annual fees related to these services are $360,000. The Otis Fund and Mr. Wexler’s wife collectively owned 5.1% of HCCA shares outstanding prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Authorized Capital Stock

 

We have authorized 31,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 30,000,000 are shares of common stock and 1,000,000 are shares of “blank-check” preferred stock.

 

Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 30,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, which shares may, but are not required to, be designated as part of one of three series, callable Series A Shares, callable Series B Shares and Series C Shares. Following our acquisition of HCCA, all Series A Shares were converted to Series B Shares or Series C Shares, and accordingly there are no Series A Shares outstanding. As of July 25, 2013, there are a total of 839,965 Series B Shares outstanding, and a total of 8,953,494 Series C Shares outstanding for an aggregate of 9,793,459 shares of common stock outstanding. As of February 10, 2014 there were 8,832,692 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Rights applicable to all common stock

 

The following rights apply to each series of our common stock, regardless if such shares are designated as part of a series of common stock.

 

Except for such voting rights that may be given to one or more series of preferred shares issued by the board of directors pursuant to its blank check power (the ability to authorize shares of common stock with rights and privileges greater than outstanding securities, such as special voting rights and/or dividend preferences, without stockholder approval) granted by our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or required by law, holders of common stock will have exclusive voting rights for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of common stock will be entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of 50% plus one share of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. The holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business.

 

The callable Series B Shares and Series C Shares will be consolidated into one series of common stock upon the consummation of the post-acquisition tender offer or post-acquisition automatic trust liquidation, as the case may be. Except for the termination of the right of the callable Series B Shares to be redeemed in connection with a post-acquisition tender offer or post-acquisition automatic trust liquidation, as the case may be, for a pro rata portion of the trust account, the automatic consolidation of all series of common stock into one series of common stock will not affect the rights of holders of our common stock. The total number of shares outstanding will not change because the consolidation will be on a one for one basis of the then outstanding shares of each series of common stock. Following the automatic consolidation, only one series of common stock will be authorized by our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Our stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock, except that holders of callable Series B Shares have the right to have such shares redeemed for cash equal to their pro rata share of the trust account, plus any interest which has not been released to us, in connection with a post-acquisition transaction tender offer or post-acquisition automatic trust liquidation, as the case may be.

 

Series C Shares

 

Each Series C Share has the same rights as the Series B Shares, except that, unlike the callable Series B Shares, the Series C Shares do not have the right to participate in a post-acquisition tender offer or post-acquisition automatic trust liquidation for a pro rata portion of the trust account. The Series C Shares will be automatically consolidated with the callable Series B Shares upon consummation of a post-acquisition tender offer or post-acquisition automatic trust liquidation.

 

52
 

 

Warrants

 

Redeemable warrants

 

Each redeemable warrant issued in the initial public offering (warrants to purchase a total of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock) and the former holder of HCCA’s preferred stock (warrants to purchase a total of 296,250 shares of our common stock) entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $7.50. The redeemable warrants will become exercisable upon the consolidation of each series of our common stock into one class of common stock after consummation of a post-acquisition tender offer or post-acquisition automatic trust liquidation, as the case may be.

 

Holders of the redeemable warrants may elect to exercise them on a cashless basis by paying the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares underlying the redeemable warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the redeemable warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of our common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of cashless exercise is delivered to the warrant agent. We would not receive additional proceeds to the extent the redeemable warrants are exercised on a cashless basis.

 

Redeemable warrants will only be exercisable by paying the exercise price in cash if an effective registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the redeemable warrants is effective and a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the redeemable warrants is available for use by the holders of the redeemable warrants. See “Risk Factors — You will not be able to exercise your redeemable warrants by paying the exercise price in cash if we do not have an effective registration statement and a prospectus in place when you desire to do so.”

 

The redeemable warrants will expire on November 7, 2016 or earlier upon redemption by us or our dissolution and the liquidation of the trust account in the event we do not consummate an acquisition transaction within the time allowed us. Once the redeemable warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding redeemable warrants:

 

·in whole but not in part;

 

·at a price of $0.01 per redeemable warrant;

 

·upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

·if, and only if, the last sale price of our common stock on the exchange on which our securities may be traded equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption.

 

We have established these redemption criteria to provide redeemable warrantholders with adequate notice of redemption only after the then-prevailing common stock price is substantially above the redeemable warrant exercise price, so that there is a buffer to absorb the market reaction, if any, to our election to redeem the redeemable warrants. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue notice of redemption of the redeemable warrants, each redeemable warrantholder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its redeemable warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, there can be no assurance that the price of our common stock will continue to exceed the $17.50 per share redemption trigger price or the redeemable warrant exercise price of $7.50 per share after the redemption notice is issued.

 

53
 

 

The right to exercise the redeemable warrants will be forfeited unless they are exercised before the redemption date specified on the notice of redemption. From and after the redemption date, the record holder of a redeemable warrant will have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the redeemable warrants, the redemption price.

 

The redeemable warrants will be issued in registered form under a redeemable warrant agreement between American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as redeemable warrant agent, and us. You should review a copy of the redeemable warrant agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-172714) filed with the SEC on March 10, 2011, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the redeemable warrants.

 

The number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the redeemable warrants must be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or our recapitalization, merger or consolidation. However, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the redeemable warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below the redeemable warrant exercise price.

 

In addition, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the redeemable warrants must be increased pursuant to a formula in the event we make distributions of cash or property (other than our common stock) to our stockholders. The increase would be in proportion to the fair market value of the distribution to stockholders.

 

The redeemable warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the redeemable warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the redeemable warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the redeemable warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified check payable to us, for the number of redeemable warrants being exercised, or by electing to exercise cashlessly. Redeemable warrantholders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock, including voting rights, until they exercise their redeemable warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of common stock upon exercise of the redeemable warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

No redeemable warrants will be exercisable by paying the exercise price in cash unless at the time of exercise we have a registration statement under the Securities Act in effect covering the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the redeemable warrants and a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock and they have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the redeemable warrants. Holders of the redeemable warrants are not entitled to net cash settlement and the redeemable warrants may only be settled by delivery of common stock and not cash. Under the redeemable warrant agreement, we have agreed to meet these conditions, to file a registration statement with the SEC for the registration of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the redeemable warrants, to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective on or prior to the commencement of the exercise period and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the redeemable warrants until the redeemable warrants expire or are redeemed. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to be able to do so. In addition, we are not required to cash settle the redeemable warrants in the event that our stockholders are unable to exercise them and they might expire worthless. The redeemable warrants may be deprived of any value and the market for the redeemable warrants may be limited if there is no registration statement in effect covering the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the redeemable warrants and the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable on the exercise of the redeemable warrants is not current or if the shares of common stock are not qualified or exempt from qualification of the jurisdictions in which the holders of the redeemable warrants reside.

 

We are not required to issue fractional shares on the exercise of redeemable warrants. If more than one redeemable warrant is presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of full shares which are issuable upon the exercise thereof are to be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of common stock purchasable on exercise of the redeemable warrants so presented. If any fractional shares would be issuable on the exercise of any redeemable warrants, we will round down to the nearest whole number.

Underwriters’ Unit Purchase Option

 

Concurrently with the closing of our initial public offering, we agreed to sell to Aegis Capital Corp., the representative of the underwriters of our initial public offering, for $100, as additional compensation, an option to purchase up to a total of 100,000 units at $12.50 per unit. The underwriters’ option is exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, commencing on the later of the consolidation of each series of our common stock into one class of common stock after consummation of a post-acquisition tender offer or post-acquisition automatic trust liquidation, as the case may be, or November 7, 2012, and expiring on the earlier of November 7, 2016 and the day immediately prior to the day on which we and all of our predecessors and successors have been dissolved. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered in our initial public offering.

 

Securities Issued in Connection with the Merger

 

Closing Payment Notes

 

As consideration for the Merger, holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of HCCA immediately prior to the time of the Merger had each of their shares of common stock of HCCA converted into the right to receive; (i) a proportional amount of 5,200,000 shares of Selway common stock and promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $7,500,000, plus (ii) a proportional amount of up to 2,800,000 shares of Selway common stock, if any, issuable upon the combined company achieving certain consolidated gross revenue thresholds as more fully described below.

 

A portion of the Closing Payment (520,000 shares and promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $750,000) were placed in escrow for a period of 12 months following the Merger. If HCCA violated, misrepresented or breached any of its representations, warranties, and covenants, it agreed to indemnify Selway for up to 10% of the Closing Payment, payable in shares and notes. For purposes of the indemnification provisions of the Agreement, each share included in the Closing Payment is deemed to be worth $10.00, and the promissory notes will be deemed to be worth their face value. Effective December 20, 2013, the escrowed portion of the Closing Payment, together with a portion of the shares issued to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (an aggregate of 546,002 shares, and promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $750,000) were released from escrow and cancelled.

  

The promissory notes included in the Closing Payment are non-interest bearing and subordinated to all senior debt of the combined company in the event of a default under such senior debt. The notes will be repaid from 18.75% of the combined company’s free cash-flow (defined as in the notes) in excess of $2,000,000. The combined company will be obligated to repay such notes if, among other events, there is a transaction that that results in a change of control of the combined company.

 

Management Incentive Notes

 

Certain members of HCCA’s management received promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $2,500,000, which notes are non-interest bearing and subordinated to all senior debt of the combined company in the event of a default under such senior debt. The Management Incentive Notes will be repaid from 6.25% of the combined company’s free cash-flow (defined as in the notes) in excess of $2,000,000. The combined company will be obligated to repay such notes if, among other events, there is a transaction that that results in a change of control of the combined company. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, HCCA expects to record a one-time expense, estimated at approximately $1.7 million, reflecting the estimated present value of the Management Incentive Notes at the time of the Merger.

 

Management Incentive Shares

 

In addition to the Management Incentive Notes, certain members of HCCA’s management received an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Selway common stock, which shares were placed in escrow and subject to release in three installments through June 30, 2015. Subsequently, certain members of HCCA management agreed to cancel an aggregate of 750,000 shares pursuant to rescission agreements entered into in June 2013. Of the remaining Management Incentive Shares outstanding, 400,000 shares have vested but remain in escrow until June 30, 2014 and 350,000 shares will vest on June 30, 2015 and will remain in escrow until June 30, 2015. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, HCCA expects to record a one-time expense, estimated at approximately $2.9 million, reflecting the estimated market value of these shares at the time of the Merger.

Exchange Warrants

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, at the time of the Merger, the 2,333,333 placement warrants held by Selway’s founders were converted into the right to receive (i) 100,000 shares of Selway common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Selway common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. On November 22, 2013, the Board of Directors approved an change in the terms of the Exchange Warrants, pursuant to which (a) the term of the warrants was extended for three year, (b) the exercise price was reduced to $1.50 (the conversion price of the Notes issued on December 31, 2013 as described herein, (c) providing for a cashless exercise feature for 100% of the warrant shares, and (d) increased to $17.50 the price at which the Exchange Warrants must be exercised if the closing price for the combined company’s common stock exceeds such price per share for 20 trading days in any 30-trading-day period.

  

Registration Rights

 

The holders of Selway’s founders’ shares, as well as the holders of the placement warrants (and underlying common stock), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to agreements dated November 7, 2011. Additionally, Selway has agreed to register all Merger Securities included in the Closing Payment, the Earnout Payment Shares, the shares underlying the Exchange Warrants, and the Selway shares issued as compensation for the Bridge Financing completed by HCCA in September 2012, pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into at the closing of the Merger. The holders of the majority of the Merger Securities are entitled to make up to two demands that Selway register such securities. The holders of the majority of Selway’s founders’ shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the placement warrants (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after Selway consummates an acquisition transaction. The holders of the Merger Securities can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing six months following the consummation of the Merger. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to Selway’s consummation of an acquisition transaction. Selway will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. In addition, holders who received shares as compensation for the Bridge Financing are entitled to liquidated damages in the event that a registration statement covering their shares is not effective by October 8, 2013 or ceases to be effective for more than 45 days in a 12-month period. Such damages would be assessed for each 30-day period that the registration statement is not effective, in the amount of 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each holder in the Bridge Financing, provided however, that total liquidated damages may not exceed 10% of the aggregate purchase price.

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Private Placement, the Company is required to file a registration statement covering the SPA Securities no later than ten business days following the filing with the Commission of the Company’s annual or quarterly report for the period ending December 31, 2013 (or, if the Company does not file a report for such period, the report for the period ending closest to December 31, 2013), but in no event later than April 14, 2014. The holders of SPA Securities are entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of 1% of the face value of the Notes for each 30 day period the company fails to comply with its obligations under the registration rights agreement. In the event the Company fails to timely make such liquidated damages payment, the such amounts shall accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% for every 30 day period such failure continues.

 

Anti-takeover Effects of Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws

 

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of our company or changing our board of directors and management. The holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors, which makes it more difficult for minority stockholders to be represented on the board. Our articles of incorporation allow our board of directors to issue additional shares of our common stock and new series of preferred stock without further approval of our stockholders. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, Merger, or otherwise.

 

56
 

 

Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

 

The transfer agent for our securities and warrant agent for our warrants is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, Merger or otherwise.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Selway’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by Selway to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

 

“Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

 

(a) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

 

(e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

 

58
 

 

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.

 

(h) For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or Merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 

(i) For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

 

(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).”

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Selway’s directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Selway has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Selway will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

59
 

 

Paragraph B of Article Seventh of Selway’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides:

 

“The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the [Delaware General Corporation Law], as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto.” Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.”

 

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

 

The business combination of Selway and HCCA is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of HCCA, since Selway was a shell corporation as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act as of the time of the Merger. HCCA is the accounting acquirer in this transaction due to the following factors:

 

1.HCCA’s management pre-closing is the same as the management post-closing;

 

2.The members of the board of directors pre-closing represent the majority of directors post closing, with one Selway director being added; and

 

3.The majority of shares post-closing are still owned by HCCA shareholders, who will represent 58% of Selway shares outstanding, if all shares subject to conversion in our post-closing tender offer actually convert to Series C (non-redeemable) common shares, and 64% of Selway shares outstanding if all shares subject to conversion do not convert to Series C Shares and opt to receive their pro rata cash in trust at the time of the post-closing tender offer. Estimates of HCCA’s ownership do not include shares underlying warrants held by public investors and the Selway sponsors or the restricted shares held by management. However, HCCA shareholders would still have 48% of Selway shares post-closing when including shares underlying warrants and restricted shares and assuming all Series A Shares convert to Series C Shares, and 51% of Selway shares post-closing if all shares subject to conversion do not convert to Series C Shares and opt to receive their pro rata cash in trust at the time of the post-closing tender offer.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

During 2012, we filed suit against our past adjudicator of claims for overcharges, over payment on claims, errors and misclassifications, and rebates owed from drug manufacturers for over $5 million. The adjudicator of claims filed a counterclaim in the amount of $2.9 million for amounts it claims are owed to it by us. In August 2013, we settled the suit with the claims adjudicator. Under the terms of the settlement we agreed to pay the claims adjudicator $2.7 million over 15 months commencing in September 2013.

 

On August 14, 2012, we entered into a settlement with a shareholder to buy back 500,000 shares of common stock for $100,000. The settlement also called for us to pay $50,000 to the shareholder to settle claims against us. We paid the settlement and received these shares in February 2013. A stock redemption was recorded on December 31, 2012 in the amount of $100,000.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

Dismissal of McGladrey LLP; Engagement of BDO USA LLP

 

On June 28, 2013, we dismissed McGladrey LLP (“McGladrey”) as our independent registered public accounting firm and engaged BDO USA LLP (“BDO”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss McGladrey and to retain BDO was approved by our Board of Directors.

 

Other than indicating that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, McGladrey’s report on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through June 28, 2013, there were no disagreements with McGladrey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to McGladrey’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on our consolidated financial statements for such period.

 

During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through June 28, 2013, there were no “reportable events” (defined below) requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. As used herein, the term “reportable event” means any of the items listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

 

We provided McGladrey with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that McGladrey review such disclosures and provided a letter addressed to the SEC as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. For a copy of McGladrey’s letter relating to our statements, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 3, 2013.

 

During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and through June 28, 2013, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted BDO regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that BDO concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event.

 

Dismissal of Thomas J. Harris, Certified Public Accountant

 

On June 28, 2013, we dismissed Thomas J. Harris, Certified Public Accountant (“Harris”), as the accounting firm for HCCA, our wholly-owned subsidiary. The decision to dismiss Harris was approved by our Board of Directors.

 

Harris’s report on HCCA’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through June 28, 2013, there were no disagreements with Harris on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Harris’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on our consolidated financial statements for such period.

 

During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through June 28, 2013, there were no “reportable events” (defined below) requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. As used herein, the term “reportable event” means any of the items listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

 

We provided Harris with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Harris review such disclosures and provided a letter addressed to the SEC as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. For a copy of Harris’ letter relating to our statements, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 3, 2013.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The audited financial statements of HCCA for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 and the unaudited financial statements of HCCA for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.3, respectively.

 

On May 9, 2013, we issued a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that our Board of Directors, after consultation with, and upon recommendation from, our management, concluded the previously issued audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 for HCCA, which we recently acquired and which is currently our wholly owned subsidiary, should no longer be relied upon and that disclosure should be made, and action should be taken, to prevent future reliance on such financial statements. For a description of the basis for the Board’s determination, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 9, 2013, which description is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Our officers discussed the foregoing matters with HCCA’s independent registered public accounting firm during the period, Thomas J. Harris, Certified Public Accountant. The Board of Directors authorized and directed that our officers take the appropriate and necessary actions to amend and restate the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”), pursuant to which HCCA’s financial statements were filed with the SEC on May 16, 2013.

 

The restated financial statements also include certain reclassifications related to revenue and cost of sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. We previously disclosed in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on March 25, 2013 and April 16, 2013 HCCA’s practice of recognizing revenue from rebates as well as from its mail-order pharmacy business. HCCA has reclassified these figures as decreases to cost of sales, with the exception of co-pays from members who order from its mail-order facility. There is no impact on gross profit, nor is there an impact on operating expenses related to this reclassification. We believe this classification for revenues and cost of sales represents the practice of some of our largest competitors, including Catamaran.

 

On September 16, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with, and upon recommendation from, management of the Company, concluded that the previously issued and restated audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 of HCCA, and the previously issued unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of HCCA, should no longer be relied upon and that disclosure should be made, and action should be taken, to prevent future reliance on such financial statements. The Company reported this information in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 16, 2013.

 

Our officers discussed the foregoing matters with HCCA’s independent registered public accounting firm during the period, Thomas J. Harris, Certified Public Accountant. The Board of Directors authorized and directed that our officers take the appropriate and necessary actions to amend and restate the Original 8-K. As a result we reviewed our financial statements in an attempt to discover all the material errors and misstatements that were included therein. As part of this review we engaged external consultants to review and investigate our books and records and other related transactions and activities for 2012 and 2011.

 

On November 11, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company had discovered additional issues that necessitated an in-depth analysis of the books and records of HCCA for 2011, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a result of this review our management concluded that it will be unable to complete our restated 2011 financial statements, due to lack of sufficient source documents and other information, and that, as a result of the analysis, management had decided to exclude the 2011 income statement from our Transition Report on Form 10-K, in which it would otherwise be required, and that we would adjust the financial statements for 2012 and the 6 months ended June 30, 2013 to reflect the correction of the errors that were discovered.

 

The errors requiring a restatement of HCCA’s financial statements will result in material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which will be noted in the amended filings. In order to help prevent similar accounting errors in the future, the Company has hired a new CFO effective as of June 3, 2013 and instituted new procedures and controls where all material schedules and related journal entries are reviewed by the CFO on a monthly basis. In addition, the Company is in the process of locating independent directors eligible to serve on an audit committee, which the Company’s Board of Directors expects to form once suitable independent directors are on the Board of Directors.
