1.             Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q is referred to Almost Family, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for further information.  In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.

On December 6, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Omni Home Health Holdings, Inc. (“SunCrest”).  Branded principally under the SunCrest name, its subsidiaries own and operate 66 Medicare-certified home health agencies and 9 private duty agencies in Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi and Alabama.  On October 4, 2013, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Imperium Health Management, LLC (“Imperium”), a development-stage enterprise that provides strategic health management services to Accountable Care Organizations (“ACO’s”).  On July 17, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of the Medicare-certified home health agencies owned by Indiana Home Care Network (“IHCN”).  The acquisitions are more fully described in Note 10, “Acquisitions.” The results of operations for SunCrest and IHCN are principally reported within the Company’s Visiting Nurse (VN) reportable segment, while Imperium results are currently included in general and administrative expenses.  Results of operations for each acquisition are included from the acquisition date forward.

Use of Estimates

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which impacts virtually all aspects of an entity’s revenue recognition. The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the new standard, including possible transition alternatives, on the Company’s financial statements.

Table of Contents

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. To qualify as a discontinued operation the standard requires a disposal to represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but could impact the reporting of any future dispositions.

Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company’s VN segment exited a market in the Northeast through the closure of a branch location. In conjunction with the SunCrest acquisition, the Company acquired some operations which had been discontinued prior to acquisition.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of two Alabama locations, which operated in the VN segment.  The operations and any related gain on sale for these operations were reclassified from continuing operations into discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Unless otherwise noted, amounts in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements exclude amounts attributable to discontinued operations.

2.           Segment Data

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

The VN segment provides skilled medical services in patients’ homes largely to enable recipients to reduce or avoid periods of hospitalization and/or nursing home care.  Approximately 90% of the VN segment revenues are generated from the Medicare program while the balance is generated from Medicaid and private insurance programs.  VN Medicare revenues include revenues from all Medicare sources including traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, whether paid on a per episode basis or a per visit basis.

The PC segment services are also provided in patients’ homes. These services (generally provided by paraprofessional staff such as home health aides) are generally of a custodial rather than skilled nature.  PC revenues are generated on an hourly basis.  Approximately 72% of the PC segment revenues are generated from Medicaid and other government programs while the balance is generated from insurance programs and private pay patients.

3.             Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes the cost of internally generated computer software developed for the Company’s own use.  Software development costs of approximately $108 and $136 were capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Software development costs of approximately $192 and $405 were capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Capitalized software development costs are amortized over the estimated useful life, generally three years, once the software is ready for its intended use.

4.             Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company conducts annual reviews for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.  Other intangible assets consist of certificates of need and licenses, trade names and non-compete agreements.  Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.  Licenses, provider numbers, certificates of need and trade names have indefinite lives and are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  The Company completed its most recent annual impairment test of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2013 and determined that no impairment existed.

The following table summarizes the activity related to goodwill and other intangible assets for 2014:

At June 30, 2014, the VN segment includes $158,499, $38,387, $13,311 and $2, while the PC segment includes $37,571, $780, $3,380 and $15 of total goodwill, certificates of need and licenses, trade names and non-compete agreements, respectively.  At June 30, 2013, the VN segment included $100,087, $8,781, $7,701 and $25, while the PC segment included $30,974, $610, $2,720 and $83 of total goodwill, certificates of need and licenses, trade names and non-compete agreements, respectively.  Acquisitions primarily related to the

Table of Contents

Caldwell Co. Home Health acquisition in April of 2014.  Changes to goodwill primarily include VN segment acquisition adjustments related to the SunCrest acquisition.  Amortization expense recognized on finite-lived intangible assets for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 was $23 and for the six month period ending June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $46.

5.             Revolving Credit Facility

At June 30, 2014, the Company had a $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, as Syndication Agent and certain other lenders (the “Facility”).  The Facility consists of a $125 million credit line with a maturity date of December 2, 2015 and an “accordion” feature providing for potential future expansion of the Facility to $175 million.  Borrowings (other than letters of credit) under the credit facility are at either the bank’s prime rate plus a margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, currently 1.50%) or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin (ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%, 2.50% at June 30, 2014).  The margin for prime rate or LIBOR borrowings is determined by the Company’s leverage.  Borrowings under the Facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, and all existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors.

The weighted average prime rate-based interest rate was 4.50% for both the three months ended June  30, 2014 and 2013.  The weighted average LIBOR rates were 2.42% and 2.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee of 0.30% to 0.50% on the average daily unused facility balance based on leverage. Borrowings are subject to various covenants including a multiple of 3.0 times earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).  “EBITDA” may include “Acquired EBITDA” from proforma acquisitions pursuant to a calculation rider, up to 50% of “Adjusted EBITDA,” as defined.  Borrowings under the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.  As of June 30, 2014, the formula permitted $47.2 million to be used.  The Company had irrevocable letters of credit totaling $8.2 million outstanding in connection with the Company’s self-insurance programs, which resulted in a total of $39.0 million being available for use at June 30, 2014.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the Facility’s various financial covenants.  Under the most restrictive of its covenants, the Company was required to maintain minimum net worth of at least $163.2 million at June 30, 2014.  At such date, the Company’s net worth was approximately $220.0 million.

6.             Fair Value Measurements

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

7.             Stock-Based Compensation

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

9.             Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance Programs

The Company bears significant insurance risk under its large-deductible workers’ compensation insurance program and its self-insured employee health program.  Under the workers’ compensation insurance program, the Company bears risk up to $250 per incident, after which stop-loss coverage is maintained.  The Company purchases stop-loss insurance for the employee health plan that places a specific limit, generally $300, on its exposure for any individual covered life.

Malpractice and general patient liability claims for incidents which may give rise to litigation have been asserted against the Company by various claimants.  The claims are in various stages of processing and some may ultimately be brought to trial.  The Company is aware of incidents that have occurred through June 30, 2014 that may result in the assertion of additional claims.  The Company currently carries professional and general liability insurance coverage (on a claims made basis) for this exposure with no deductible.  The Company also carries D&O coverage (also on a claims made basis) for potential claims against the Company’s directors and officers, including securities actions, with deductibles ranging from $100 to $250 per claim.

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

Legal Proceedings

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

As previously disclosed, four derivative complaints were filed in Jefferson Circuit Court, Kentucky, against the members of the Company’s board of directors, president and chief executive officer, and chief financial officer.  All four lawsuits named the Company as a nominal defendant and were consolidated into a single action.  All of the complaints and the resulting consolidated complaint refer to an April 27, 2010 The Wall Street Journal article and the subsequent governmental investigations.  On February 13, 2012, the independent directors filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.  On October 2, 2012, the Court entered an order granting the motion to dismiss and dismissing the complaint with prejudice.  On November 1, 2012 two plaintiffs filed an appeal of the Court’s ruling with the Kentucky Court of Appeals.  After briefing was complete, the Board received a demand letter dated July 17, 2013, from counsel for one of the derivative plaintiff shareholders.  The letter stated that the shareholder believed certain of the Company’s officers and directors violated their fiduciary duties based on allegations similar to those described in the consolidated complaint.  The letter requested that the Board take appropriate action against the individuals in question.  The Board appointed a Special Litigation Committee to respond to the shareholder demand.  As a result of the demand from the plaintiff shareholder, the Company’s outside directors filed a motion with the Court of Appeals asking the Court to dismiss the appeal as moot.  On March 11, 2014, the Court of Appeals denied the outside directors’ motion to dismiss the appeal as moot.  Moreover, the Court of Appeals on its own motion abated the appeal.  The abatement removed the appeal from the Court’s active appellate docket.  The Court stated that upon the Board’s response to the shareholder demand, the parties should file a motion to redocket the case.  The Special Litigation Committee completed its investigation and presented its findings to the Board on June 25, 2014.  The Special Litigation Committee concluded that it would not be in the best interest of the Company or its shareholders to pursue the claims raised in the shareholder demand.  In accordance with the instruction from the Kentucky Court of Appeals to file a motion to redocket the appeal once the Special Litigation Committee responded to the shareholder demand, the Company has moved to redocket the case and dismiss the appeal.

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

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

10.          Acquisitions

The Company completed each of the following acquisitions in pursuit of its strategy for operational expansion in the eastern United States through an expanded service base and enhanced position in certain geographic areas.  The purchase price of each acquisition was determined based on the Company’s analysis of comparable acquisitions, expected cash flows and arm’s length negotiation with the sellers.  Each acquisition was included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the respective acquisition date.

Goodwill recognized from the acquisitions primarily relates to expected contributions of each entity to the overall corporate strategy in addition to synergies and acquired workforce, which are not separable from goodwill.  Goodwill and other intangible assets generated in asset purchase transactions are expected to be amortizable for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over 15 years, unless otherwise noted.  Goodwill and other intangible assets generated in stock purchase transactions are not amortizable for tax purposes, unless otherwise noted.  The purchase price allocations for 2013 and subsequent acquisitions remain preliminary as the Company is continuing to obtain information regarding acquired assets and liabilities.

On December 6, 2013, the Company acquired the stock of SunCrest.  SunCrest and its subsidiaries own and operate 66 Medicare-certified home health agencies and 9 private duty agencies in Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi and Alabama.   The total SunCrest purchase price for the stock was $76.6 million, subject to a working capital adjustment which is expected to be finalized in 2014.   The purchase price consisted of cash consideration of $75.1 million, of which $0.5 million remained unpaid at June 30, 2014 and a $1.5 million note payable, net of acquired cash balances of $2.2 million.   The following table summarizes the approximate estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the SunCrest acquisition, which includes adjustments to accounts receivable as the company continues to gather facts on underlying accounts.

Amortizable goodwill and intangibles acquired in the SunCrest acquisition are expected to provide an annual tax deduction approximating $2.8 million through 2020.

The unaudited proforma results of operations for the Company as if the SunCrest acquisition had been made at the beginning of 2013 are as follows:

The proforma information presented above is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations that would have actually occurred if the transaction described had been completed as of the beginning of 2013.  In addition, future results may vary from the results reflected in such information.

On October 4, 2013, the Company acquired 61.5% of Imperium for $5.8 million, of which $3.0 million was working capital for Imperium.  Imperium is a development-stage enterprise that provides strategic health management services to ACOs.  Substantially all of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.  The Company is party to a put and call arrangement with respect to the remaining 38.5% non-controlling interest in Imperium that becomes exercisable five years after the initial investment date.  The redemption value for both the put and the call arrangement is equal to fair value.  Due to the existing put and call arrangements, the non-controlling interest is considered to be redeemable and is recorded on the balance sheet as a redeemable non-controlling interest outside of permanent equity.  The redeemable non-controlling interest is recognized at the higher of 1) the accumulated earnings associated with the non-controlling interest or 2) the redemption value as of the balance sheet date.

On July 17, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of the Medicare-certified home agencies owned by IHCN.  IHCN operated six home health agencies primarily in northern Indiana for a total purchase price of $12.5

million consisting of cash and $0.5 million of Almost Family, Inc. common stock.  A preliminary allocation of purchase price resulted in the allocation of $9.9 million to goodwill, $1.8 million to identified intangibles with the remainder primarily due to property plant and equipment and accounts receivable.

11.          Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately 39.2% and 41.8%, respectively, and 39.7% and 39.2%, respectively.  The higher year to date 2014 income tax rates from continuing operations was primarily due to a benefit resulting from the January 2, 2013 retroactive extension of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) that was recognized in the first quarter of 2013.  The WOTC has not yet been extended to 2014.

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

12.          Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2014.  During this period, the Company had no material subsequent events requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements or any non-recognized subsequent events requiring disclosure.

Critical Accounting Policies

Refer to the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies.  There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in 2014.

Operating Segments

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

Our VN segment provides skilled medical services in patients’ homes largely to enable recipients to reduce or avoid periods of hospitalization and/or nursing home care.  Approximately 90% of the VN segment revenues are generated from the Medicare program, while the balance is generated from Medicaid and private insurance programs.  VN Medicare revenues include revenues from all Medicare sources including traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, whether paid on a per episode basis or a per visit basis.

Our PC segment services are also provided in patients’ homes.  These services (generally provided by paraprofessional staff such as home health aides) are generally of a custodial rather than skilled nature. PC revenues are generated on an hourly basis.  Approximately 72% of the PC segment revenues are generated from Medicaid and other government programs while the balance is generated from insurance programs and private pay patients.

During 2013, we completed three acquisitions.  On December 6, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Omni Home Health Holdings, Inc. (“SunCrest”).  SunCrest subsidiaries own and operate 66 Medicare-certified home health agencies and 9 private duty agencies in Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi and Alabama.  On October 4, 2013, we acquired a controlling interest in Imperium Health Management, LLC (“Imperium”), a development-stage enterprise that provides strategic health management services to Accountable Care Organizations (“ACO’s”).  On July 17, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of the Medicare-certified home health agencies owned by Indiana Home Care Network (“IHCN”).  The results of operations for SunCrest and IHCN are principally reported within the Company’s Visiting Nurse reportable segment, while Imperium results are included in corporate expenses.  Results of operations are included from the acquisition date forward.

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

Discontinued Operations

When appropriate, we reclassify operating units closed, sold, or held for sale out of continuing operations and into discontinued operations for all periods presented.  In the first quarter of 2014, our VN segment exited a market in the Northeast through the closure of a branch location. In conjunction with our SunCrest acquisition, we acquired some operations which had been discontinued prior to our acquisition.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we completed the sale of two Alabama locations, which operated in our VN segment.  The operations and gain on sale, if any, related to these locations were reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Unless otherwise noted, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations excludes amounts attributable to discontinued operations.

Health Care Reform Legislation and Medicare Regulations

The reader is encouraged to review our detailed discussion of Health Care Reform Legislation and Medicare Regulations in the similarly titled section in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” along with the discussion under “Government Regulation” in Part I, Item 1, “Business” including but not limited to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2013.  Additional developments since filing the Form 10-K include:

·                  On July 1, 2014, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued the proposed rule for 2015.  The proposed rule included the maximum rebasing cut in Medicare reimbursement rates (3.5% rate reduction in each of the years 2014-2017) allowable by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA), which was signed into law in March 2010.  The rebasing cuts are in addition to other legislated cuts for that same period by the ACA.  The 2014 proposed rule is currently open for comment.  The final rule is expected to be released in late October 2014.

These matters, if implemented, may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.  Although we are formulating plans and developing appropriate courses of action related to these changes, there can be no assurance that such plans or courses of action will prove successful.  Such changes may cause us to change our business model, increase costs or reduce our revenues in ways not currently contemplated by us, or may result in recognition of an impairment of our recorded goodwill or intangible assets.

Shareholder Litigation

See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of certain litigation.  The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of these matters. However, the Company may incur ongoing expenses, net of insurance recoveries, if any, related to defense of such complaints.

Seasonality

Our VN segment operations located in Florida (which generated approximately 38% of that segment’s revenues in the first quarter of 2014) normally experience higher admissions during the first quarter and lower admissions during the third quarter than in the other quarters due to seasonal population fluctuations.

The year over year increase in revenue was primarily driven by acquired growth in our VN and PC segments.  Refer to segment discussions for further operating performance details.

Corporate expenses increased by $3.3 million to $8.7 million from $5.4 million in the prior year.  The 2014 period includes $1.6 million of incremental home office costs associated with our 2013 acquisition activity, including $0.4 million in the operation of Imperium.  Additionally, 2014 included $1.6 million of performance incentive accruals while the prior year had no such provision.

Deal and transition costs increased $1.1 million, primarily related to the SunCrest acquisition on December 6, 2013.

Interest expense increased $0.3 million due to borrowings on our line of credit in conjunction with the SunCrest acquisition.

The effective tax rate was approximately 39.2% for the second quarter of 2014, which decreased from 41.8% in 2013.  The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2013 was higher than normal due to a combination of increases in permanent differences compared to pre-tax income and estimated state tax rates.
