1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Addus HomeCare Corporation (“Holdings”) and its subsidiaries (together with Holdings, the “Company” or “we”). The Company provides home and community based services through a network of locations throughout the United States. These services are primarily performed in the homes of the consumers. The Company’s home and community based services include assistance to the elderly, chronically ill and disabled with bathing, grooming, dressing, personal hygiene and medication reminders, and other activities of daily living. Home and community based services are primarily performed under agreements with state and local governmental agencies.

Discontinued Operations

On February 7, 2013, subsidiaries of Holdings entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with LHC Group, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Home Health Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Home Health Purchase Agreement, effective March 1, 2013, the purchasers acquired substantially all the assets of the Company’s home health business in Arkansas, Nevada and South Carolina and 90% of its home health business in California and Illinois, with the Company retaining 10% ownership in such locations, for cash consideration of $20,000.

The Company’s home health services were operated through licensed and Medicare certified offices that provided physical, occupational and speech therapy, as well as skilled nursing services to pediatric, adult infirm and elderly patients. Home health services were reimbursed from Medicare, Medicaid and Medicaid-waiver programs, commercial insurance and private payors (see note 2).

Principles of Consolidation

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our investment in entities with less than 20% ownership or in which the Company does not have the ability to influence the operations of the investee are being accounted for using the cost method and are included in investments in joint ventures.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates net service revenues by providing services directly to consumers. The Company receives payments for providing services from federal, state and local governmental agencies, commercial insurers and private individuals. Our continuing operations, which includes the results of operations previously included in our home and community segment and three agencies previously included in our home health segment, are principally provided based on authorized hours, determined by the relevant agency, at an hourly rate specified in agreements or fixed by legislation and recognized as revenues at the time services are rendered. Home and community based service revenues are reimbursed by state, local and other governmental programs which are partially funded by Medicaid or Medicaid waiver programs, with the remainder reimbursed through private duty and insurance programs.

Laws and regulations governing the Medicaid and Medicare programs are complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates may change in the near term. The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company establishes its allowance for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. The Company estimates its provision for doubtful accounts primarily by aging receivables utilizing eight aging categories, and applying its historical collection rates to each aging category, taking into consideration factors that might impact the use of historical collection rates or payor groups, with certain large payors analyzed separately from other payor groups. In the Company’s evaluation of these estimates, it also considers delays in payment trends in individual states due to budget or funding issues, billing conversions related to acquisitions or internal systems, resubmission of bills with required documentation and disputes with specific payors. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level management believes is sufficient to cover potential losses. However, actual collections could differ from our estimates.

Goodwill

The Company’s carrying value of goodwill is the residual of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired from various acquisitions including the acquisition of Addus HealthCare, Inc. (“Addus HealthCare”). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of October 1, or whenever potential impairment triggers occur, such as a significant change in business climate or regulatory changes that would indicate that an impairment may have occurred. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company may use a qualitative test, known as “Step 0” or a two-step quantitative method to determine whether impairment has occurred. In 2012, the Company elected to implement Step 0 and was not required to conduct the remaining two step analysis. No impairment charge was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s identifiable intangible assets consist of customer and referral relationships, trade names, trademarks, state licenses and non-compete agreements. Amortization is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from two to 25 years.

ASC Topic 350 requires that the fair value of intangible assets with indefinite lives be estimated and compared to the carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of these intangible assets using the income approach. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the estimated economic benefit method over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted cash flows. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value. No impairment charge was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

The income approach, which the Company uses to estimate the fair value of its intangible assets (other than goodwill), is dependent on a number of factors including estimates of future market growth and trends, forecasted revenue and costs, expected periods the assets will be utilized, appropriate discount rates and other variables. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. In addition, the Company makes certain judgments about the selection of comparable companies used in the market approach in determining valuation.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles (except goodwill and finite lived intangible assets, as described above) for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To determine if impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the related long-lived assets to the net carrying amount of such assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, generally determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows. No impairment charge was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” The objective of accounting for income taxes is to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Deferred taxes, resulting from differences between the financial and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities, are also adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. ASC Topic 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. ASC Topic 740, also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company has two stock incentive plans, the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) that provide for stock-based employee compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation.” Compensation expense is recognized on a graded method under the 2006 Plan and on a straight-line basis under the 2009 Plan over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the options and restricted stock awards. Under the 2006 Plan, the Company historically used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock based payment awards, but beginning October 28, 2009 under its 2009 Plan it began using an enhanced Hull-White Trinomial model. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payments utilizing the Black-Scholes model and the Enhanced Hull-White Trinomial model is affected by Holdings’ stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected dividends yield, expected forfeiture rate, expected turn-over rate, and the expected exercise multiple.

Net Income Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share, calculated on the treasury stock method, is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s outstanding securities that may potentially dilute the common stock are stock options and restricted stock awards.

Included in the Company’s calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were 641 stock options outstanding, of which 242 and 183, respectively, were dilutive. In addition, there were 96 restricted stock awards outstanding, 42 and 40 of which were dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Included in the Company’s calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were 741 stock options outstanding of which 12 and 3, respectively, were dilutive. In addition, there were 57 restricted stock awards outstanding, of which none were dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Estimates

The financial statements are prepared by management in conformity with GAAP and include estimated amounts and certain disclosures based on assumptions about future events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

2. Discontinued Operations

During December 2012, in anticipation of the sale of substantially all of the assets used in its home health business (the “Home Health Business”), the Company reported the operating results of the Home Health Business as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-45, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” On February 7, 2013, the Company entered into the Home Health Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which subsidiaries of LHC Group, Inc. agreed to acquire substantially all the assets of the Home Health Business in Arkansas, Nevada and South Carolina and 90% of the Home Health Business in California and Illinois, with the Company retaining 10% ownership in such locations, for cash consideration of $20,000. The transaction was consummated effective March 1, 2013. In addition, the results of discontinued operations include one home health agency being held for sale and one home health agency that closed in January of 2013.

The Company has included the financial results of the Home Health Business in discontinued operations for all periods presented. Assets sold to the purchasers are presented as assets held for sale, net, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. In connection with the discontinued operations presentation, certain financial statement footnotes have also been updated to reflect the impact of discontinued operations.

The following table presents the net service revenues and earnings attributable to discontinued operations, which include the financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:


	For the Three Months ended September 30,						For the Nine Months ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Net service revenues	$	—		$	9,795		$	6,475		$	28,671

Loss before income taxes		(344	)		(673	)		(1,509	)		(3,133	)
Income tax benefit		(141	)		(266	)		(619	)		(1,238	)

Net loss from discontinued operations	$	(203	)	$	(407	)	$	(890	)	$	(1,895	)

The following table presents the net gain on the sale of the Home Health Business, which was recorded March 1, 2013.


Gain before income taxes	$	18,838
Income tax expenses		7,727

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations	$	11,111

The only class of assets for discontinued operations reflected as assets held for sale, net, as of December 31, 2012 was as follows:


	December 31, 2012
Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization	$	245

Pursuant to the Home Health Purchase Agreement, the Company retained $1,137 and $7,123 of accounts receivable, net as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company retained the related accrued expenses and accounts payable associated with the Home Health Business as of December 31, 2012.

3. Sale of Agency

During February 2012, the Company completed its sale of a home health agency located in Portland, OR for approximately $525 with net proceeds of approximately $495 after the payment of closing related expenses. The Company recorded a $495 pre-tax gain on the sale of the agency.

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company’s carrying value of goodwill is the residual of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired from various acquisitions including the acquisition of Addus HealthCare. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of October 1, or whenever potential impairment triggers occur, such as a significant change in business climate or regulatory changes that would indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company can elect to perform Step-0 an optional qualitative analysis and based on the results skip the remaining two steps. In 2012, the Company elected to implement Step 0 and was not required to conduct the remaining two step analysis.

In performing its goodwill assessment for 2012, the Company evaluated the following factors that affect future business performance: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, entity-specific events and company stock price. As a result of the assessment of these qualitative factors, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company as of December 31, 2012 exceeded its carrying value. Accordingly, the first and second steps of the goodwill impairment test as described in ASC Topic 350-20-35, which includes estimating the fair value of the Company, are not considered necessary for the Company.

The Company did not record any impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. The Company will perform its annual impairment test for fiscal 2013 during the fourth quarter of 2013.

The following is a summary of the goodwill activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:


Goodwill, at December 31, 2012	$	50,536
Adjustments to previously recorded goodwill		(120	)

Goodwill, at September 30, 2013	$	50,416

The Company also has indefinite-lived assets that are not subject to amortization expense such as certificates of need and licenses to conduct specific operations within geographic markets. The Company has concluded that certificates of need and licenses have indefinite lives, as management has determined that there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, economic or other factors that would limit the useful life of these intangible assets and the Company intends to renew and operate the certificates of need and licenses indefinitely. The certificates of need and licenses are tested annually for impairment using the cost approach. Under this method assumptions are made about the cost to replace the certificates of need. No impairment charges were recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The Company will perform its annual impairment test for fiscal 2013 during the fourth quarter of 2013.

The following is a summary of the intangible assets and indefinite-lived asset activity as of September 30, 2013:


	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Customer and referral relationships	$	24,908	$	20,870	$	4,038
Trade names and trademarks		4,081		2,942		1,139
State licenses		150		—		150

The Company acquired certain assets of Advantage Health Systems, Inc. (“Advantage”) in July 2010. The purchase agreement for the acquisition of Advantage contained a provision for earn-out payments contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets. The sellers of Advantage disagreed with the Company’s calculation of the earn-out payment and the parties agreed to have an arbitrator determine the amount of the second earn-out payment. Based upon the arbitrator’s ruling, the final earn-out payment of $534 was made in October 2013.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

The Company’s credit facility provides a $55.0 million revolving line of credit expiring November 2, 2014, includes a $15.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and included a $5.0 million term loan that matured and was paid on January 5, 2013. Substantially all of the subsidiaries of Holdings are co-borrowers, and Holdings has guaranteed the borrowers’ obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Holdings’ and the borrowers’ current and future tangible and intangible assets, including the shares of stock of the borrowers.

On July 26, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility, which modified the Company’s maximum senior leverage ratio from 3.00 to 1.00 to 3.25 to 1.00 for each twelve month period ending on the last of day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the twelve month period ended June 30, 2011 and increased the advance multiple used to determine the amount of the borrowing base from 3.0 to 1.0 to 3.25 to 1.0.

During the second quarter of 2012, the lenders under the Company’s credit facility agreed to a modified interpretation of the credit facility as it relates to the calculation of the fixed charge ratio, which provides the Company with increased flexibility in meeting this covenant. The credit facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants with which the Company was in compliance at September 30, 2013.

The availability of funds under the revolving credit portion of the credit facility, as amended, is based on the lesser of (i) the product of adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit facility agreement, for the most recent 12-month period for which financial statements have been delivered under the credit facility agreement multiplied by the specified advance multiple, up to 3.25, less the outstanding senior indebtedness and letters of credit, and (ii) $55,000 less the outstanding revolving loans and letters of credit. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the credit facility is payable either at a floating rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 4.6% or the LIBOR rate for term periods of one, two, three or six months plus a margin of 4.6%. Interest will be paid monthly or at the end of the relevant interest period, as determined in accordance with the credit facility agreement. The borrowers will pay a fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the unused portion of the revolving portion of the credit facility. Issued stand-by letters of credit will be charged at a rate of 2.0% per annum payable monthly. On September 30, 2013 the interest rate on the revolving credit loan facility was 4.8% (30 day LIBOR rate was 0.2%). The total availability under the revolving credit loan facility was $42,579 at September 30, 2013 compared to $27,137 at December 31, 2012.

7. Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the continuing operations statutory federal tax rate of 35% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 34% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 is summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012
Federal income tax a statutory rate		35.0	%		34.1	%
State and local taxes, net of federal benefit		6.0			6.0
Jobs tax credits, net		(6.6	)		(4.2	)
Nondeductible meals and entertainment, other		1.0			0.4

Effective tax rate		35.4	%		36.3	%


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012
Federal income tax a statutory rate		35.0	%		34.1	%
State and local taxes, net of federal benefit		6.0			6.0
Jobs tax credits, net (1)		(10.8	)		(4.1	)
Nondeductible meals and entertainment, other		0.8			0.9

Effective tax rate		31.0	%		36.9	%

(1)

Included in the jobs tax credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was a one-time benefit of a 7.2% reduction from our statutory tax rate for the jobs tax credits earned in 2012 but not recorded until 2013. The Federal employment opportunity tax credits were reinstated in 2013 and were not an allowable deduction in 2012.

8. Segment Data

The Company historically segregated its results into two distinct reporting segments: the home & community segment and the home health segment. As a result of the sale of the Home Health Business, the Company has reported the operating results for the Home Health Business in discontinued operations. Therefore, all of the Company’s operations are reported as one operating segment.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to legal and/or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of management that the outcome of such proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Indemnification Obligations

Pursuant to the Home Health Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to indemnify the purchasers for, among other things, (i) penalties, fines, judgments and settlement amounts arising from a violation of certain specified statutes, including the False Claims Act, the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the Ethics in Patient Referral Act or any state law equivalent in connection with the operation of the Home Health Business prior to the closing, and (ii) any liability related to the failure of any reimbursement claim submitted to certain government programs for services rendered by the Home Health Business prior to the closing to meet the requirements of such government programs, or any violation prior to the closing of any health care laws. Such liabilities include amounts to be recouped by, or repaid to, such government programs as a result of improperly submitted claims for reimbursement or those discovered as a result of audits by investigative agencies. All services that the Company has provided that have been or may be reimbursed by Medicare are subject to retroactive adjustments and/or total denial of payments received from Medicare under various review and audit provisions included in the program regulations. The review period is generally described as six years from the date the services are provided but could be expanded to ten years under certain circumstances if fraud is found to have existed at the time of original billing. In the event that there are adjustments relating to the period prior to the closing, the Company may be required to reimburse the purchasers or the government for the amount of such adjustments, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition. The Company has not established a liability reserve for these obligations and at this time cannot determine the probability of requiring the reserve nor the estimated value of such reserve. The Company anticipates it will be in position to establish the required reserve in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain members of senior management. The terms of these agreements are up to four years and include non-compete and nondisclosure provisions, as well as provide for defined severance payments in the event of termination.

10. Significant Payors

A substantial portion of the Company’s net service revenues and accounts receivables are derived from services performed for federal, state and local governmental agencies. One state governmental agency accounted for 58.9% and 57.6% of the Company’s net service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. One state governmental agency accounted for 59.1% and 56.8% of the Company’s net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The related receivables due from Medicare and the state agency represented 2.8% and 65.2%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable at September 30, 2013, and 7.1% and 69.3%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.

11. Subsequent Events

Acquisitions

The Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire all of the Private Duty operations of the Medi Home Private Care Division of Medical Services of America, Inc. on October 17, 2013. The acquisition includes two agencies located in South Carolina; four agencies located in Tennessee; and two agencies located in Ohio. The South Carolina business will be incorporated into the Company’s existing operations in that state. The operations in Ohio and Tennessee represent the Company’s initial entry into these two targeted states, as these states transition their long term care programs to managed care and begin their dual eligible demonstration pilots.

The asset purchase agreement provides for separate closings with respect to the operations in each state. The closing related to the agencies in South Carolina took place effective November 1, 2013.

The Company also entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the assets from Coordinated Home Health Care, LLC related to its personal care business in New Mexico on November 7, 2013. This acquisition includes sixteen offices located in Southern New Mexico and further expands the Company’s presence in that state. New Mexico has led other states in the transition of its long-term care services to managed care.

The two acquisitions represent approximately $20 million to $22 million in aggregate projected annual revenues for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013. These transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013 and are subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that either of these transactions will be completed.

Shelf Registration

The Company filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2013. Upon being declared effective, the shelf registration statement will provide the Company with the flexibility to offer and sell up to $150 million of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and units in one or more offerings and in any combination. In addition, the shelf registration statement covers up to 4,951,773 shares of the Company’s common stock held by certain existing stockholders in accordance with the requirements of contractual agreements previously entered into with these stockholders. The Company currently has no specific plans to issue securities under the new shelf registration statement. The Company will not receive any proceeds from potential sales of the common stock by these stockholders.

The Company currently has no specific plans to issue securities under the new shelf registration statement. Any offer of securities covered by the shelf registration statement may be made solely by means of the prospectus included in the shelf registration statement and a related prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of any such offering.

This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of any offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

ITEM 2.

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

You should read the following discussion together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those we currently anticipate.

Overview

We are a comprehensive provider of home and community based services, primarily social in nature, provided in the home, and focused on the dual eligible population. Our services include personal care and assistance with activities of daily living, and adult day care. Our consumers are individuals with special needs who are at risk of hospitalization or institutionalization, such as the elderly, chronically ill and disabled. Our payor clients include federal, state and local governmental agencies, commercial insurers and private individuals. We provide home and community based services through over 94 locations across 21 states to over 26,000 consumers.

Effective March 1, 2013, we sold substantially all of the assets used in our home health business (the “Home Health Business”) in Arkansas, Nevada and South Carolina, and 90% of the Home Health Business in California and Illinois, to subsidiaries of LHC Group, Inc. (the “Purchasers”) for a cash purchase price of approximately $20 million. We retained a 10% ownership interest in the Home Health Business in California and Illinois. The assets sold included 19 home health agencies and two hospice agencies in five states. Through these home health agencies, we previously provided physical, occupational and speech therapy, as well as skilled nursing services, to pediatric, adult infirm and elderly patients. We are also holding as an asset for sale an agency located in Pennsylvania and have entered into an asset purchase agreement providing for the sale of such agency. We also closed an agency in Idaho in January 2013. The results of the Home Health Business sold or held for sale are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. Continuing operations include the results of operations previously included in our home & community segment and three agencies previously included in our home health segment. Following the sale of the Home Health Business, we manage and internally report our business in one segment.

We believe the sale of the Home Health Business positions us for future growth by allowing us to focus both management and financial resources to address changes in the home and community based services industry and to address the needs of managed care organizations as they become responsible for state sponsored programs. We have improved our financial performance and are concentrating our efforts on the business that is growing and providing all of our profitability and disposing of the business that was unprofitable. We have improved our overall financial position by eliminating our debt and adding substantial amounts in cash reserves to our balance sheet. A summary of our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are provided in the tables below:


	For the Three Months Ended, September 30,
	2013			2012			Percent Change
Net service revenues – continuing operations	$	67,306		$	61,211			10.0	%
Net service revenues – discontinued operations		—			9,795			N/A
Net income from continuing operations		2,770			2,204			25.7	%

Net income	$	2,567		$	1,797			42.8	%


	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			Percent Change
Net service revenues – continuing operations	$	196,059		$	180,540			8.6	%
Net service revenues – discontinued operations		6,475			28,671			(77.4	)%
Net income from continuing operations		8,039			5,785			39.0	%
Loss from discontinued operations		(890	)		(1,895	)		(53.0	)%
Gain on sale of Home Health Business		11,111			—			N/A

Net income	$	18,260		$	3,890			N/A

The home and community based services we provide are primarily social in nature and include assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, personal hygiene and medication reminders, and other activities of daily living. We provide these services on a long-term, continuous basis, with an average duration of approximately 17 months per consumer. Our adult day centers provide a comprehensive program of skilled and support services and designated medical services for adults in a community-based group setting. Services provided by our adult day centers include social activities, transportation services to and from the centers, the provision of meals and snacks, personal care and therapeutic activities such as exercise and cognitive interaction.

We utilize a coordinated care model that is designed to enhance consumer outcomes and satisfaction as well as lower the cost of acute care treatment and reduce service duplication. Through our coordinated care model, we utilize our home care aides to observe and report changes in the condition of our consumers for the purpose of early intervention in the disease process, thereby preventing or reducing the cost of medical services by avoiding emergency room visits, and/or reducing the need of hospitalization. These changes in condition are evaluated by appropriately trained managers and referred to appropriate medical personnel including the primary care physicians and managed care plans for treatment and follow-up. We will coordinate the services provided by our team with those of selected health care agencies. We believe this approach to the provision of care to our consumers and the integration of our services into the broader healthcare industry is particularly attractive to managed care providers and others who are ultimately responsible for the healthcare needs of our consumers and over time will increase our business with them.

Our ability to grow our net service revenues is closely correlated with the number of consumers to whom we provide our services. Our continued growth depends on our ability to maintain our existing payor client relationships, establish relationships with new payors, enter into new contracts and increase our referral sources. Our continued growth is also dependent upon the authorization by state agencies of new consumers to receive our services. We believe there are several market opportunities for growth. The U.S. population of persons aged 65 and older is growing, and the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that this population will more than double by 2050. Additionally, we believe the overwhelming majority of individuals in need of care generally prefer to receive care in their homes or community-based settings. Finally, we believe the provision of home and community based services is more cost-effective than the provision of similar services in an institutional setting for long-term care.

We have historically grown our business primarily through organic growth, complemented with selective acquisitions. Our acquisitions have historically been focused on facilitating entry into new states.

On July 26, 2010, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we acquired the operations and certain assets of Advantage Health Systems, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“Advantage”). Advantage is a provider of home and community based services in South Carolina and Georgia, which expanded our services across 19 states. The total consideration payable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was $8.3 million, comprised of $5.1 million in cash, common stock consideration with a deemed value of $1.2 million resulting in the issuance of 248,000 common shares, a maximum of $2.0 million in future cash consideration subject to the achievement of certain performance targets set forth in an earn-out agreement and the assumption of certain specified liabilities. In April 2011, we paid the first earn-out payment of $0.5 million to the sellers of Advantage. During the fourth quarter of 2011 we completed a revaluation of the remaining contingent earn-out obligation and recorded a reduction of approximately $0.5 million with a remaining obligation of $0.5 million as of September 30, 2013. The sellers of Advantage disagreed with our calculation of the second earn-out payment. The dispute was submitted to an arbitrator. Based upon the arbitrator’s ruling, the final payment of $534 was made in October 2013.

Business

The results of the Home Health Business sold are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. Continuing operations include the results of operations previously included in our home & community segment and three agencies previously included in our home health segment. Following the sale of the Home Health Business, we manage and internally report our business in one segment.

As of September 30, 2013, we provided our home and community based services in 94 locations across 21 states. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we provided our home and community based services in 91 locations across 19 states.

Our payor clients are principally federal, state and local governmental agencies. The federal, state and local programs under which they operate are subject to legislative, budgetary and other risks that can influence reimbursement rates. Our commercial insurance carrier payor clients are typically for profit companies and are continuously seeking opportunities to control costs. We are seeking to grow our private duty business.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 our payor revenue mix for continuing operations was:


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
State, local and other governmental programs		94.0	%		95.0	%		94.0	%		95.0	%
Commercial		2.0			1.0			2.0			1.0
Private duty		4.0			4.0			4.0			4.0

		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

We derive a significant amount of our net service revenues from our continuing operations in Illinois, which represented 66.0% and 64.2% of our total net service revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net service revenues from our operations in Illinois represented 65.8% and 63.4% of our total net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

A significant amount of our net service revenues from continuing operations are derived from one payor client, the Illinois Department on Aging, which accounted for 58.9% and 57.6% of our total net service revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Illinois Department on Aging accounted for 59.1% and 56.8% of our total net service revenues from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

We also measure the performance of our business using a number of different metrics. We consider billable hours, billable hours per business day, revenues per billable hour and the number of consumers, or census.

On April 2, 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published final regulations for implementation of the increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (“FMAP”) payments for the Medicaid program under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, both laws are referred to herein as the “Health Reform Act”). Under the Health Reform Act, the FMAP to states that elect to provide Medicaid coverage to “newly eligible” individuals with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level is 100% for calendar years 2014-2016 and gradually decreases to 90% in 2020 and thereafter. States will receive the enhanced FMAP payment for newly eligible individuals who previously did not qualify for Medicaid. For states that already covered individuals who otherwise became eligible for Medicaid under the Health Reform Act, the regular FMAP will increase by a much lower 2.2%. The final rule, among other things, establishes methodologies for states to determine who is newly eligible. Not all states in which we do business may elect to provide coverage to newly eligible individuals. We are not able at this time to determine the impact these changes will have on our business.

Components of our Statements of Operations

Net Service Revenues

We generate net service revenues from continuing operations by providing our services directly to individuals. We receive payment for providing such services from our payor clients, including federal, state and local governmental agencies, commercial insurers and private individuals.

Net service revenues from continuing operations are typically generated based on services rendered and reimbursed on an hourly basis. Our net service revenues from continuing operations were generated principally through reimbursements by state, local and other governmental programs which are partially funded by Medicaid programs, and to a lesser extent from private duty and insurance programs. Net service revenues from continuing operations are principally provided based on authorized hours, determined by the relevant agency, at an hourly rate, which is either contractual or fixed by legislation, and recognized as net service revenues at the time services are rendered.

Cost of Service Revenues

We incur direct care wages, payroll taxes and benefit-related costs from continuing operations in connection with providing our services. We also provide workers’ compensation and general liability coverage for these employees.

Employees are also reimbursed for their travel time and related travel costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses from continuing operations consist of expenses incurred in connection with our activities and as part of our central administrative functions.

Our general and administrative expenses from continuing operations consist principally of supervisory personnel, care coordination and office administration costs. These expenses include wages, payroll taxes and benefit-related costs; facility rent; operating costs such as utilities, postage, telephone and office expenses; and bad debt expense. We have initiated efforts to centralize administrative tasks currently conducted at the branch locations. The costs related to these initiatives are included in the general and administrative expenses from continuing operations. Other centralized expenses from continuing operations include administrative departments of accounting, information systems, human resources, billing and collections and contract administration, as well as national program coordination efforts for marketing and private duty. These expenses primarily consist of compensation, including stock-based compensation, payroll taxes, and related benefits; legal, accounting and other professional fees; rents and related facility costs; and other operating costs such as software application costs, software implementation costs, travel, general insurance and bank account maintenance fees.

Based on the value of our publicly held shares as of June 30, 2013, we will become subject to the reporting requirements for accelerated filers beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013. In connection with our transition from a smaller reporting company to an accelerated filer we expect to incur greater administrative costs in the remainder of the fiscal year.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

We amortize our intangible assets with finite lives, consisting of customer and referral relationships, trade names, trademarks and non-compete agreements, principally on accelerated methods based upon their estimated useful lives. Depreciable assets consist principally of furniture and equipment, network administration and telephone equipment, and operating system software. Depreciable and leasehold assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line method over their useful lives or, if less and if applicable, their lease terms.

Interest Income

Legislation enacted in Illinois entitles designated service program providers to receive a prompt payment interest penalty based on qualifying services approved for payment that remain unpaid after a designated period of time. As the amount and timing of the receipt of these payments are not certain, the interest income is recognized when received and reported in the income statement caption, interest income. While we may be owed additional prompt payment interest, the amount and timing of receipt of such payments remains uncertain and we have determined that we will continue to recognize prompt payment interest income when received. The state amended its prompt payment interest terms, effective July 1, 2011, which changed the measurement period for outstanding invoices from a 60-day to a 90-day outstanding period. We believe this change in terms will reduce future amounts paid for prompt payment interest.

Interest Expense

Interest expense from continuing operations consists of interest costs on our credit facility and other debt instruments.

Income Tax Expense

All of our income from continuing operations is from domestic sources. We incur state and local taxes in states in which we operate. The differences from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% in 2013 and 34.1% in 2012 are principally due to state taxes and the use of federal employment tax credits.

Loss from Home Health Business, Net of Tax

Loss from Home Health Business, net of tax consists of the results of operations, net of tax recorded for the Home Health Business which was classified as discontinued in December 2012 and subsequently sold as of March 1, 2013.

Gain on Sale of the Home Health Business, Net of Tax

Gain on sale of the Home Health Business, net of tax consists of the results of the gain, net of tax we recorded for selling our Home Health Business effective March 1, 2013.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations consists of the results of operations, net of tax for our Home Health Business that was sold effective March 1, 2013 and the results of operations of assets held for sale.

Private duty and, to a lesser extent, commercial payors accounted for the remainder of net service revenues.

Net service revenues increased $6.1 million, or 10.0%, to $67.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $61.2 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to 12.1% increase in average billable hours and a related 11.9% increase in average billable census.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, remained at 25.6% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.

General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues increased to 18.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from 18.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. General and administrative expenses increased to $12.4 million as compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in legal, accounting and severance expense partially offset by a reduction in our workers’ compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012.

Depreciation and amortization, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, decreased to 0.8% for the third quarter of 2013, from 1.0% for the same period in 2012. Amortization of intangibles, which are principally amortized using accelerated methods, totaled $0.3 and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest Income

Interest Expense

Interest expense (income) was $(0.02) million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest expense decreased $0.4 million primarily due to a prompt payment interest income payment of $0.2 million received in the third quarter of 2013.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were 35.4% and 36.3%, respectively. The principal difference between the Federal and State statutory rates and our effective tax rate is Federal employment opportunity tax credits. The Federal employment opportunity tax credits were reinstated in 2013. Given the uncertainty of the deduction in 2012, they were not included in the 2012 income tax provision.

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, we announced that we were pursuing strategic alternatives for our Home Health Business, and in February 2013, we entered into the Home Health Purchase Agreement. Following the sale, we have segregated the Home Health Business operating results and presented them separately as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein).

The table below depicts the results of discontinued operations.

The losses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 relate to the wind down of our Home Health Business. The losses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to reduced sales, higher costs to treat consumers and our inability to reduce fixed general and administrative costs at a rate consistent with revenue declines.

Net service revenues from state, local and other governmental programs accounted for 94.0% and 95.0% of net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Private duty and, to a lesser extent, commercial payors accounted for the remainder of net service revenues.

Net service revenues increased $15.5 million, or 8.6%, to $196.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $180.5 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to a 11.5% increase in average census and a related 11.0% increase in billable hours.

Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, decreased to 25.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 25.8% in 2012. This decrease as a percent of revenue of 0.5% is primarily due to an increase field labor costs.

General and administrative expenses, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues decreased to 18.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 19.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. General and administrative expenses increased to $49.6 million as compared to $46.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in legal, accounting and severance expense partially offset by a reduction in our workers’ compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012.

Depreciation and amortization, expressed as a percentage of net service revenues, decreased to 0.8% from 1.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization of intangibles, which are principally amortized using accelerated methods, totaled $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest Income

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.3 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest expense decreased $0.9 million primarily due to a reduction in outstanding debt.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were 31.0% and 36.9%, respectively. The principal difference between the Federal and State statutory rates and our effective tax rate is Federal employment opportunity tax credits. The Federal employment opportunity tax credits were reinstated in 2013. Given the uncertainty of the deduction in 2012, they were not included in the 2012 income tax provision.

The losses were primarily due to reduced sales, higher costs to treat consumers and our inability to reduce fixed general and administrative costs at a rate consistent with revenue declines.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had cash balances of $29.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The increase in cash balance between December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013 is primarily attributable to the cash received from the purchasers for our Home Health Business and increased collections on outstanding accounts receivable which were offset by payments on our line of credit and term loan.

Cash flows from operating activities represent the inflow of cash from our payor clients and the outflow of cash for payroll and payroll taxes, operating expenses, interest and taxes. Due to its revenue deficiencies and financing issues, the State of Illinois has reimbursed us on a delayed basis with respect to our various agreements including with our largest payor, the Illinois Department on Aging. However, we experienced an improvement in the payment amounts received from the State of Illinois during the first nine months of 2013 which resulted in a decrease in the open receivable balance from the State of Illinois of $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $53.1 million as of December 31, 2012 to $38.2 million as of September 30, 2013. This improvement as of September 30, 2013 reflects significant payments received from the State of Illinois during the nine months ended September 2013. We do not expect to continue to receive this level of payments on a consistent basis in the near term and anticipate that our open receivable balance from the State of Illinois will increase over the remainder of the year.

While the receivable balance had decreased as of September 30, 2013, the State of Illinois continues to reimburse us on a delayed basis. These payment delays have adversely impacted, and may further adversely impact, our liquidity, and may result in the need to increase borrowings under our credit facility. Delayed reimbursements from our other state payors have also contributed to the increase in our receivable balances.

Our credit facility provides a $55.0 million revolving line of credit expiring November 2, 2014, includes a $15.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and previously included a $5.0 million term loan that matured and was paid on January 5, 2013. Substantially all of the subsidiaries of Holdings are co-borrowers, and Holdings has guaranteed the borrowers’ obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Holdings’ and the borrowers’ current and future tangible and intangible assets, including the shares of stock of the borrowers.

Our credit facility provides (i) maximum aggregate amount of revolving loans available to us of $55.0 million, (ii) maximum senior debt leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.0 for the twelve (12) month period ending March 31, 2010 and each twelve (12) month period ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter and (iii) advance multiple of 3.25 used to determine the amount of the borrowing base.

On July 26, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility, which modified our maximum senior leverage ratio from 3.00 to 1.00 to 3.25 to 1.00 for each twelve month period ending on the last of day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the twelve month period ended June 30, 2011 and increased the advance multiple used to determine the amount of the borrowing base from 3.0 to 1.0 to 3.25 to 1.0.

During the second quarter of 2012, the lenders under our credit facility agreed to a modified interpretation of the credit facility as it relates to the calculation of the fixed charge ratio, which provides us with increased flexibility in meeting this covenant. The credit facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants with which we were in compliance at September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013 we had no outstanding amount on our revolving credit facility other than letters of credit. After giving effect to the amount drawn on our credit facility, approximately $12.4 million of outstanding letters of credit and borrowing limits based on an advanced multiple of adjusted EBITDA, we had $42.6 million available for borrowing under the credit facility as of September 30, 2013. In order to obtain consent from our lender for the sale of the Home Health Business we agreed to work in good faith to negotiate and enter into an amendment to the credit facility to amend certain provisions including a reduction in the maximum revolving loan limit and revolving loan commitment.

We filed a universal shelf registration on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2013. Upon being declared effective, the shelf registration statement will provide us with the flexibility to offer and sell up to $150 million of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and units in one or more offerings and in any combination. In addition, the shelf registration statement covers shares of our common stock held by certain existing stockholders in accordance with the requirements of contractual agreements previously entered into with these stockholders. We currently have no specific plans to issue securities under the new shelf registration statement. We will not receive any proceeds from potential sales of the common stock by these stockholders.

Any offer of securities covered by the shelf registration statement may be made solely by means of the prospectus included in the shelf registration statement and a related prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of any such offering.

We believe the available borrowings under our credit facility which, when taken together with existing cash reserves, the potential for additional financing to be provided through the universal shelf registration and cash from operations, will be sufficient to cover our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and provide resources, subject to any necessary lender consent, to enter into and complete select acquisitions. While our growth plan is not dependent on the completion of acquisitions, if we do not have sufficient cash resources or availability under our credit facility, or we are otherwise prohibited from making acquisitions, our growth could be limited unless we obtain additional equity or debt financing or unless we obtain the necessary consents from our lenders.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	25,103		$	9,336
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		19,082			(518	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(16,458	)		(9,125	)

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Net cash provided by operating activities was $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to cash provided by operations of $9.3 million for the same period in 2012. This increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to an increase in cash from changes in net working capital and an increase in operating income before depreciation and amortization generated for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $19.7 million in net proceeds received from the sale of the Home Health Business and the purchase of $0.6 million of property and equipment. Our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $0.5 million in net proceeds received for the sale of an agency and $1.0 million in capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to net used by financing activities of $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were primarily driven by net payments of $16.3 million on the revolving credit portion of our credit facility, and $0.2 million in payments on our term loan. Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily driven by $4.3 million in payments on the revolving credit portion of our credit facility, $3.0 million in payments on subordinated dividend notes, and $1.9 million in payments on our term loan.

Outstanding Accounts Receivable

Outstanding accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased by $16.8 million as of September 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to an increase in payments we received from the State of Illinois during the first nine months of 2013 and to a lesser extent the winding down of our Home Health Business.

We establish our allowance for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. Our provision for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded primarily by aging receivables utilizing eight aging categories and applying our historical collection rates to each aging category, taking into consideration factors that might impact the use of historical collection rates or payor groups, with certain large payors analyzed separately from other payor groups. In our evaluation of these estimates, we also consider other factors including: delays in payment trends in individual states due to budget or funding issues, billing conversions related to acquisitions or internal systems, regulatory requirements for submitting Medicare billing including face-to-face and physical therapy documentation, resubmission of bills with required documentation and disputes with specific payors.

Our collection procedures include review of account agings and direct contact with our payors. We have historically not used collection agencies. An uncollectible amount, not governed by amount or aging, is written off to the allowance account only after reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.

The following tables detail our accounts receivable before reserves by payor category, showing Illinois governmental payors separately, and segment and the related allowance amount at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

We calculate our continuing operations days sales outstanding (“DSO”) by taking the accounts receivable outstanding net of the allowance for doubtful accounts divided by the total net service revenues for the last quarter, multiplied by the number of days in that quarter. Our DSOs from continuing operations were 87 days and 92 days at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The DSOs for our largest payor, the Illinois Department on Aging, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were 52 days and 122 days, respectively. We do not expect to continue to receive payments on a consistent basis in the near term and anticipate our DSOs and the DSO for our largest payor to increase over the remainder of the year.

Credit Facility

Our credit facility provides a $55.0 million revolving line of credit expiring November 2, 2014, and includes a $15.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and previously included a $5.0 million term loan that matured and was paid on January 5, 2013. Substantially all of the subsidiaries of Holdings are co-borrowers, and Holdings has guaranteed the borrowers’ obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Holdings’ and the borrowers’ current and future tangible and intangible assets, including the shares of stock of the borrowers.

The availability of funds under the revolving credit portion of the credit facility, as amended, is based on the lesser of (i) the product of adjusted EBITDA, as defined, for the most recent 12-month period for which financial statements have been delivered under the credit facility agreement multiplied by the specified advance multiple, up to 3.25, less the outstanding senior indebtedness and letters of credit, and (ii) $55.0 million less the outstanding revolving loans and letters of credit. Interest on the revolving line of credit and term loan amounts outstanding under the credit facility is payable either at a floating rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 4.6% or the LIBOR rate for term periods of one, two, three or six months plus a margin of 4.6%. Interest on the credit facility will be paid monthly on or at the end of the relevant interest period, as determined in accordance with the credit facility agreement. The borrowers will pay a fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the unused portion of the revolving portion of the credit facility. Issued stand-by letters of credit will be charged at a rate of 2.0% per annum payable monthly. We did not have any amounts outstanding on our credit facility as of September 30, 2013 and the total availability under the revolving credit loan facility was $42.6 million.

The credit facility contains customary affirmative covenants regarding, among other things, the maintenance of records, compliance with laws, maintenance of permits, maintenance of insurance and property and payment of taxes. The credit facility also contains certain customary financial covenants and negative covenants that, among other things, include a requirement to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a requirement to stay below a maximum senior leverage ratio and a requirement to stay below a maximum permitted amount of capital expenditures, as well as restrictions on guarantees, indebtedness, liens, dividends, distributions, investments and loans, subject to customary carve outs, restrictions on Holdings’ and the borrowers’ ability to enter into transactions other than in the ordinary course of business, a restriction on the ability to consummate more than three acquisitions in any calendar year, or for the purchase price of any one acquisition to exceed $0.5 million, in each case without the consent of the lenders, restrictions on mergers, transfers of assets, acquisitions, equipment, subsidiaries and affiliate transactions, subject to customary carve outs, and restrictions on fundamental changes and lines of business. We were in compliance with all of our credit facility covenants at September 30, 2013.

During the second quarter of 2012, the lenders under our credit facility agreed to a modified interpretation of the credit facility as it relates to the calculation of the fixed charge ratio, which provides us with increased flexibility in meeting this covenant. In order to obtain consent from our lender for the sale of the Home Health Business we agreed to work in good faith to negotiate and enter into an amendment to the credit facility to amend certain provisions including a reduction in the maximum revolving loan limit and revolving loan commitment.

Dividend Notes

Prior to the completion of our IPO, we had 37,750 shares of series A preferred stock issued and outstanding, all of which were converted into shares of our common stock on November 2, 2009. Shares of our series A preferred stock accumulated dividends each quarter at a rate of 10%, compounded annually. We accrued these undeclared dividends because the holders had the option to convert their shares of series A preferred stock into common stock at any time with the accumulated dividends payable in cash or a note payable. Our series A preferred stock was converted into 4,077,000 shares of common stock in connection with the completion of our IPO on November 2, 2009. We paid $0.2 million of the $13.1 million outstanding accumulated dividends as of November 2, 2009 with the remaining $12.9 million being converted into 10% junior subordinated promissory notes, which we refer to as the dividend notes. The dividends notes were subordinated and junior to all obligations under our credit facility. Our dividend notes were repaid in full during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet guarantees or arrangements with unconsolidated entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expense and related disclosures. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other sources and factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates. We consider the items discussed below to be critical because of their impact on operations and their application requires our judgment and estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 from continuing operations are derived from Medicaid and Medicaid waiver programs under agreements with various state and local authorities. These agreements provide for a service term from one year to an indefinite term. Services are provided based on authorized hours, determined by the relevant state or local agency, at an hourly rate specified in the agreement or fixed by legislation. Services to other payors, such as private or commercial clients, are provided at negotiated hourly rates and recognized in net service revenues as services are provided. We provide for appropriate allowances for uncollectible amounts at the time the services are rendered.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We are paid for our services primarily by state and local agencies under Medicaid or Medicaid waiver programs, Medicare, commercial insurance companies and private individuals. While our accounts receivable are uncollateralized, our credit risk is somewhat limited due to the significance of governmental payors to our results of operations. Laws and regulations governing the governmental programs in which we participate are complex and subject to interpretation. Amounts collected may be different than amounts billed due to client eligibility issues, insufficient or incomplete documentation, services at levels other than authorized and other reasons unrelated to credit risk.

Legislation enacted in Illinois entitles designated service program providers to receive a prompt payment interest penalty based on qualifying services approved for payment that remain unpaid after a designated period of time. As the amount and timing of the receipt of these payments are not certain, the interest income is recognized when received and reported in the income statement caption, interest income. We received prompt payment interest in the amounts of $0.2 million and $0.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. While we may be owed additional prompt payment interest, the amount and timing of receipt of such payments remains uncertain and we have determined that we will continue to recognize prompt payment interest income when received.

We establish our allowance for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded primarily by aging receivables utilizing eight aging categories and applying our historical collection rates to each aging category, taking into consideration factors that might impact the use of historical collection rates or payor groups, with certain large payors analyzed separately from other payor groups. In our evaluation of these estimates, we also consider delays in payment trends in individual states due to budget or funding issues, billing conversions related to acquisitions or internal systems, resubmission of bills with required documentation and disputes with specific payors. Historically, we have not experienced any write-off of accounts as a result of a state operating with budget deficits. While we regularly monitor state budget and funding developments for the states in which we operate, we consider losses due to state credit risk on outstanding balances as remote. We believe that our recorded allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover potential losses; however, actual collections in subsequent periods may require changes to our estimates.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Our carrying value of goodwill is the residual of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired from various acquisitions, including the acquisition of Addus HealthCare, Inc. (“Addus HealthCare”). In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of October 1, or whenever potential impairment triggers occur, such as a significant change in business climate or regulatory changes that would indicate that an impairment may have occurred. We may use a qualitative test, known as “Step 0” or a two-step quantitative method to determine whether impairment has occurred. In 2012, we elected to implement Step 0 and were not required to conduct the remaining two step analysis.

We did not record any impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles (except goodwill and finite lived intangible assets, as described above) for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To determine if impairment exists, we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the related long-lived assets to the net carrying amount of such assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, generally determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows. No impairment charge was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

Workers’ Compensation Program

Our workers’ compensation insurance program has a $0.35 million deductible component. We recognize our obligations associated with this program in the period the claim is incurred. The cost of both the claims reported and claims incurred but not reported, up to the deductible, have been accrued based on historical claims experience, industry statistics and an actuarial analysis performed by an independent third party. We monitor our claims quarterly and adjust our reserves accordingly. These costs are recorded primarily in the cost of services caption in the consolidated statement of income. Under the agreement pursuant to which we acquired Addus HealthCare, claims under our workers’ compensation insurance program that relate to December 31, 2005 or earlier are the responsibility of the selling shareholders in the acquisition, subject to certain limitations. In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No 2010-24, Health Care Entities (Topic 954), “Presentation of Insurance Claims and Related Insurance Recoveries,” which clarifies that companies should not net insurance recoveries against a related claim liability. Additionally, the amount of the claim liability should be determined without consideration of insurance recoveries. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we recorded $1.5 and $1.0 million in workers’ compensation insurance recovery receivables and a corresponding increase in its workers’ compensation liability. The workers’ compensation insurance recovery receivable is included in our prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The objective of accounting for income taxes is to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred taxes, resulting from differences between the financial and tax basis of our assets and liabilities, are also adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on the value of our publicly held shares (those not controlled by insiders) as of June 30, 2013, we will become subject to the reporting requirements for accelerated filers beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013. In connection therewith, we will be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act during 2013.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

Changes to Medicaid, Medicaid waiver or other state and local medical and social programs could adversely affect our net service revenues and profitability.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we derived approximately 95% of our net service revenues from continuing operations from agreements that are directly or indirectly paid for by state and local governmental agencies, such as Medicaid funded programs and Medicaid waiver programs. Governmental agencies generally condition their agreements with us upon a sufficient budgetary appropriation. If a governmental agency does not receive an appropriation sufficient to cover its contractual obligations with us, it may terminate an agreement or defer or reduce the amount of the reimbursement we receive. Almost all the states in which we operate are facing budgetary shortfalls due to the current economic downturn and the rising costs of health care, and as a result, have made, are considering or may consider making changes in their Medicaid, Medicaid waiver or other state and local medical and social programs. The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 permits states to make benefit cuts to their Medicaid programs, which could affect the services for which states contract with us. Changes that states have made or may consider making to address their budget deficits include:

•

limiting increases in, or decreasing, reimbursement rates;

•

redefining eligibility standards or coverage criteria for social and medical programs or the receipt of home and community based services under those programs;

•

increasing the consumer’s share of costs or co-payment requirements;

•

decreasing the number of authorized hours for recipients;

•

slowing payments to providers;

•

increasing utilization of self-directed care alternatives or “all inclusive” programs; or

•

shifting beneficiaries to managed care programs.

Certain of these measures have been implemented by, or are proposed in, states in which we operate. For example, California has considered a number of proposals, including potential changes in eligibility standards or hours utilization and Illinois has delayed payments to providers. In 2012, we derived approximately 64% of our total net service revenues from continuing operations from services provided in Illinois, 7% of our total net service revenues from continuing operations from services provided in California and 7% of our total net service revenues from continuing operations from services provided in Washington. Because a substantial portion of our business is concentrated in these states, any significant reduction in expenditures that pay for our services in these states and other states in which we do business may have a disproportionately negative impact on our future operating results. Provisions in the Health Reform Act increase eligibility for Medicaid, which may cause a reallocation of Medicaid funding. It is difficult to predict at this time what the effect of these changes would be on our business. If changes in Medicaid policy result in a reduction in available funds for the services we offer, our net service revenues could be negatively impacted.

Further, in an effort to control escalating Medicaid costs, states are increasingly requiring Medicaid beneficiaries to enroll in managed care plans. Under a health reform bill signed into law in January 2012, Illinois set a goal to increase the percentage of Medicaid beneficiaries in Medicaid managed care plans from the current 8% to 50% by 2015. The difficulty of getting healthcare providers to agree to sign up for the plans, however, has proved to be a stumbling block to managed care enrollment. States are also increasingly requiring Medicaid beneficiaries to work with case managers.

On April 2, 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published final regulations for implementation of the Health Reform Act. Under the Health Reform Act, the FMAP to states that elect to provide Medicaid coverage to “newly eligible” individuals with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level is 100% for calendar years 2014-2016 and gradually decreases to 90% in 2020 and thereafter. States will receive the enhanced FMAP payment for newly eligible individuals who previously did not qualify for Medicaid. For states that already covered individuals who otherwise became eligible for Medicaid under the Health Reform Act, the FMAP will increase by a much lower 2.2%. The final rule, among other things, establishes methodologies for states to determine who is newly eligible. Not all states in which we do business may elect to provide coverage to newly eligible individuals. We are not able at this time to determine the impact these changes will have on our business.

The Governor of Illinois has reported that state revenue is not sufficient to keep up with pension and Medicaid obligations. On February 22, 2012, the Governor of Illinois released his proposed budget for fiscal year 2013. He called for a $2.7 billion cut to the state’s $14 billion Medicaid program. Options to reach that goal include rate reduction and reform, eliminating some services, implementing utilization controls, and restricting Medicaid eligibility so that fewer people can qualify.

On March 7, 2013, the Illinois Department on Aging released a letter to all providers notifying them that it was projecting it would run out of appropriations for home and community based services by March 15, 2013. On May 10, 2013, the Governor of Illinois signed into law legislation that authorized funding for the Illinois Department on Aging to cover costs for home and community base services through the state’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. Without the funding, the Department on Aging would have been unable to pay service providers after mid-March. There can be no assurance that the Department on Aging or other state governmental payors will not face a similar funding shortage in the future.

In February 2012, CMS agreed to allow Illinois to move forward on at least one of two efforts to combat Medicaid fraud. In January 2013, Illinois began a program to verify annually the income and residency of Medicaid beneficiaries. If Illinois identifies non-resident Medicaid beneficiaries and removes them from the Medicaid rolls or prevents non-resident individuals from becoming Medicaid beneficiaries, or if Illinois identifies Medicaid applicants or Medicaid beneficiaries who do not meet income requirements and prevents them from becoming Medicaid beneficiaries or removes beneficiaries from the Medicaid rolls, the number of consumers we serve in Illinois could be reduced, which could negatively affect our business and results of operations.

In March 2013, the federal government implemented certain budgetary restrictions, commonly known as sequestration. Although Medicaid is exempt from these automatic cuts, sequestration remains in place and could negatively impact reimbursement or authorizations for services under our federal or state contracts.

We are subject to extensive government regulation. Changes to the laws and regulations governing our business could negatively impact our profitability and any failure to comply with these regulations could adversely affect our business.

The federal government and the states in which we operate regulate our industry extensively. The laws and regulations governing our operations, along with the terms of participation in various government programs, impose certain requirements on the way in which we do business, the services we offer, and our interactions with consumers and the public. These requirements include matters related to:

•

licensure and certification;

•

adequacy and quality of services;

•

qualifications and training of personnel;

•

confidentiality, maintenance and security issues associated with medical records and claims processing;

•

relationships with physicians and other referral sources;

•

operating policies and procedures;

•

addition of facilities and services; and

•

billing for services.

These laws and regulations, and their interpretations, are subject to frequent change. These changes could reduce our profitability by increasing our liability, increasing our administrative and other costs, increasing or decreasing mandated services, forcing us to restructure our relationships with referral sources and providers or requiring us to implement additional or different programs and systems. Failure to comply could lead to the termination of rights to participate in federal and state-sponsored programs, the suspension or revocation of licenses and other civil and criminal penalties and a delay in our ability to bill and collect for services provided.

The Health Reform Act amended the False Claims Act to provide that a provider must report and return overpayments within 60 days of identifying the overpayment or the claims for the services that generated the overpayments become false claims subject to the False Claims Act. Overpayments include payments for services for which the provider does not have proper documentation. If we were to identify documentation failures that could not be corrected we could be required to return payments received for those claims within the mandated 60-day time period. If we fail to identify and return overpayments within the required 60-day period we could be subject to suits under the False Claims Act by the government or relators (whistleblowers). Any of these could have a material adverse impact on our business and operations.

The Health Reform Act is broad, sweeping reform, and is subject to change, including through the adoption of related regulations, the way in which its provisions are interpreted and the manner in which it is enforced. It is difficult to predict the impact of the Health Reform Act due to its complexity, lack of implementing regulations or interpretive guidance, gradual or potentially delayed implementation, court challenges and possible amendment or repeal, as well as our inability to foresee how individuals and businesses will respond to the choices afforded them by the law. We cannot assure you, however, that the provisions described above, or that any other provisions of the Health Reform Act, will not adversely impact our business, results of operations or financial results. We may be unable to mitigate any adverse effects resulting from the Health Reform Act.

While we believe that we protect individuals’ health information, if our information systems are breached, we may experience reputational harm that could adversely affect our business. Recently, the OCR, which is charged with enforcement of HIPPA, has imposed substantial fines and compliance requirements on covered entities whose employees improperly disclosed individuals’ health information.

In October 2013, California enacted the Home Care Services Consumer Protection Act. The act establishes a licensing program for home care organizations, and requires background checks, basic training, and tuberculosis screening for the aides that are employed by home care organizations. Home care organizations and aides will have until January 1, 2015 to comply with the new licensing and background check requirements. Although we sold the bulk of our home health business in California in March 2013, we continue to operate in California. The requirements of the act are expected to impose additional costs on us.

We are subject to federal and state laws that govern our employment practices. Failure to comply with these laws, or changes to these laws that increase our employment-related expenses, could adversely impact our operations.

We are required to comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations relating to employment, including occupational safety and health requirements, wage and hour requirements, employment insurance and equal employment opportunity laws. These laws can vary significantly among states and can be highly technical. Costs and expenses related to these requirements are a significant operating expense and may increase as a result of, among other things, changes in federal or state laws or regulations requiring employers to provide specified benefits to employees, increases in the minimum wage and local living wage ordinances, increases in the level of existing benefits or the lengthening of periods for which unemployment benefits are available. We may not be able to offset any increased costs and expenses. Furthermore, any failure to comply with these laws, including even a seemingly minor infraction, can result in significant penalties which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business.

In addition, certain individuals and entities, known as excluded persons, are prohibited from receiving payment for their services rendered to Medicaid, Medicare and other federal and state healthcare program beneficiaries. If we inadvertently hire or contract with an excluded person, or if any of our current employees or contractors becomes an excluded person in the future without our knowledge, we may be subject to substantial civil penalties, including up to $10,000 for each item or service furnished by the excluded individual to a federal or state healthcare program beneficiary, an assessment of up to three times the amount claimed and exclusion from the program.

Under the Health Reform Act, beginning in 2015, if we continue to provide a medical plan, we will be required to provide a minimum level of coverage for all full-time employees. Should any full-time employee receive subsidized coverage through an exchange, we could be liable for an annual penalty equal to the lesser of $3,000 for each full-time employee receiving subsidized coverage or $2,000 for each of our full-time employees. The impact of these penalties may have a significant impact on our profitability. Many of our employees are not provided any medical coverage. If we determine that we will provide medical coverage for these employees, the costs could be material and have a significant effect on our profits.

In September 2013, the United States Department of Labor announced the adoption of a rule that extended the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements of federal law to most direct care workers, such as home health aides, personal care aides and certified nursing assistants. These employees have been exempt from federal wage laws since 1974. The new rule will take effect on January 1, 2015. A number of states already require that direct care workers receive state-mandated minimum wage and/or overtime pay. Opponents say the new protections will make in-home care more expensive for government programs such as Medicaid that pay for such services, and that it could result in a reduction in covered services. We are currently evaluating the effect of the new rule on our operations.
