MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This discussion and analysis includes a number of forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under "Business Environment and Future Results" and elsewhere in this Item, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. In this Item, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "future" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. OVERVIEW The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from the provision of transtelephonic pacemaker monitoring services for cardiac pacemaker patients ("Pacing"), cardiac event detection services ("CEDS") and ("Holter"), diagnostic imaging services and cardiac catheterization procedures. Beginning on February 1, 1996 and September 18, 1996, revenue is also being provided from the operation of the Raytel Heart Center at Granada Hills ("RHCGH") and from the management of Southeast Texas Cardiology Associates, P.A. ("SETCA"), a physician practice, respectively. Also, beginning on November 1, 1996, revenue is being provided from the management of Comprehensive Cardiology Consultants, a Medical Group, Inc. ("CCMG"), a physician practice, as described below. The Company's investment in one consolidated venture that operates three of the consolidated diagnostic imaging centers terminated on December 31, 1996. Revenues contributed by this venture were $0 and $666,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $512,000 and $1,426,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company's investment in another consolidated venture is expected to terminate on July 30, 1997. Revenues contributed by this venture were $245,000 and $293,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $526,000 and $564,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. On October 18, 1996, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into a long-term management service agreement whereby the Company will manage the non-medical aspects of the CCMG practice. Total consideration for the transaction was cash of $427,000, promissory notes of $620,000 and 14,376 shares of common stock to be delivered at future dates, valued at $91,000 (which is a discount from fair market value due primarily to the delay in the delivery of the shares). In September 1996, the Company received a favorable administrative decision related to a billing dispute with a New York Medicare carrier. The Company billed the carrier at a reimbursement rate which was in effect at the time the Company acquired the CardioCare division from Medtronic, Inc. in 1993. The reimbursement rate was confirmed by the carrier after the acquisition. Following an audit of the carrier by the Healthcare Finance Administration ("HCFA"), the Company was ordered to return approximately $4 million to Medicare, a decision the Company appealed. The Company was first notified on September 23, 1996, and again on December 12, 1996 in a reissued opinion, that an administrative law judge found that the Company was without fault and was entitled to the approximately $4 million in question. The time for HCFA and the Social Security Administration to file an appeal expired on February 10, 1997. After accounting for administrative costs and reimbursements due to Medtronic as a result of the terms of the acquisition of Cardiocare and a separate provision against the value of a non-operating asset, the Company recognized other income of $2,510,000 pretax in its second fiscal quarter ending March 31, 1997, with a positive after tax effect of $1,506,000 or $.17 per share (the "Settlement"). Practice management revenues are recognized pursuant to long-term arrangements with physician groups pursuant to which the Company provides the physician group with a full range of services, including but not limited to physician practice office space, specialized clinical and procedural facilities, medical equipment, data processing and medical record keeping, billing and collection procedures and services, non-physician licensed 6 7 personnel, such as nurses and technicians, as well as office staff and administrative personnel. The Company's management revenues are derived from the physician group's revenues, generally as a purchased service, except for the physician compensation and employment benefits, which are paid by the physician group on a priority basis. Under existing management services arrangements, the Company's revenues represent approximately 62% and 56% of the revenues of the physician groups for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997, respectively. On May 5, 1997, the Company announced that it has retained Dillon, Read & Co., Inc. to help the Company evaluate options for the future of it's diagnostic imaging business. The Company intends to explore all possible alternatives for the business including a sale or the investment of additional capital to fund growth. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company has not quantified the impact of adopting SFAS 128. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996. The operations of RHCGH are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations since February 1, 1996, the effective date of the agreement. Accordingly, RHCGH's operations are included for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, but are only included for two months of the three month period ended March 31, 1996. The operations of Cardio Data Services ("CDS") are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations since June 11, 1996, the effective date of the Company's acquisition of CDS. Accordingly, the operations of CDS are included in the three month period ended March 31, 1997, but are not included in the three month period ended March 31, 1996. The results of operations from the management service agreements with SETCA and CCMG are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations since September 18, 1996 and November 1, 1996, the effective dates of each respective agreement. Accordingly, such results are included in the three month period ended March 31, 1997, but are not included in the three month period ended March 31, 1996. Revenues. Pacing, CEDS and Holter revenues increased by $1,238,000, or 11.7%, from $10,564,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $11,802,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, due primarily to the inclusion of revenues from CDS. Diagnostic imaging service revenues decreased by $668,000, or 13.4%, from $4,977,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $4,309,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, due primarily to the termination of a venture on December 31, 1996. Heart Center, practice management and other revenues increased by $1,820,000 or 72.7% from $2,505,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $4,325,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to the inclusion of revenues from the physician practices, and to a lesser extent, revenues from RHCGH. As a result of the foregoing factors, total revenues increased by $2,390,000 or 13.2% from $18,046,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $20,436,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Operating Expenses. Operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,639,000, or 11.8%, from $13,927,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $15,566,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to the inclusion of costs and expenses from RHCGH, from the management of the physician practices and CDS operations. These increases were partially offset by decreases in costs and expenses at operating facilities, other than CDS, which provide Pacing, CEDS and Holter services due to cost containment measures. Operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased slightly from 77.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 76.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. At RHCGH operating expenses were slightly in excess of revenues for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. 7 8 Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $160,000, from $1,302,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $1,462,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, but remained relatively unchanged as a percentage of revenues. Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income increased by $591,000 or 21.0% from $2,817,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $3,408,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $28,000, or 36.8%, from $76,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $104,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Other expense (income). Other income increased by $2,426,000, from $165,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $2,591,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to the Settlement. Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased by $1,234,000, or 112.9%, from $1,093,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $2,327,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as a result of increased taxable income. Net Income. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $1,849,000, or 112.7%, from $1,641,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $3,490,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Six Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 1996. The operations of RHCGH are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations since February 1, 1996, the effective date of the agreement. Accordingly, the RHCGH's operations are included in the six month period ended March 31, 1997, but are only included for two months of the six month period ended March 31, 1996. The operations of CDS are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations since June 11, 1996, the effective date of the Company's acquisition of CDS. Accordingly, the operations of CDS are included in the six month period ended March 31, 1997, but are not included in the six month period ended March 31, 1996. The results of operations from the management service agreements with SETCA and CCMG are included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations since September 18, 1996 and November 1, 1996, the effective dates of each respective agreement. Accordingly, such results are included in the six month period ended March 31, 1997, but are not included in the six month period ended March 31, 1996. Revenues. Pacing, CEDS and Holter revenues increased by $3,133,000, or 15.0%, from $20,838,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $23,971,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997, due primarily to the inclusion of revenues from CDS. Diagnostic imaging service revenues decreased by $1,174,000, or 11.7%, from $10,007,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $8,833,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997, due primarily to the termination of a venture on December 31, 1996. Heart Center, practice management and other revenues increased by $5,267,000 or 174.6% from $3,017,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $8,284,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to the inclusion of revenues from RHCGH and revenues from the physician practices. As a result of the foregoing factors, total revenues increased by $7,226,000 or 21.3% from $33,862,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $41,088,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. Operating Expenses. Operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5,649,000, or 21.9%, from $25,822,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $31,471,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997, due primarily to inclusion of costs and expenses from RHCGH and CDS and, to a lesser extent, costs and expenses from the management of the physician practices. These increases were partially offset by decreases in costs and expenses at operating facilities, other than CDS, which provide Pacing, CEDS and Holter services due to cost containment measures. Operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues remained relatively unchanged. At RHCGH operating expenses were slightly in excess of revenues for the six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. 8 9 Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $310,000, from $2,633,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $2,943,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997, but declined as a percentage of revenues from 7.8% for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to 7.2% for the six months ended March 31, 1997. Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income increased by $1,267,000 or 23.4% from $5,407,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $6,674,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $182,000, or 41.9%, from $434,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $252,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to the final repayment of term debt in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the repayment of a subordinated note during fiscal 1996 and a reduction in the principal amount outstanding under equipment loans and capital leases. Other expense (income). Other income increased by $2,379,000 from $297,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $2,676,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to the Settlement. Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased by $1,629,000, or 84.1%, from $1,938,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $3,567,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 as a result of increased taxable income. Extraordinary Item. An extraordinary noncash charge of $402,000, net of the related tax benefit, for the write-off of unamortized debt discount and the write-off of capitalized debt issuance expense was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 1995. This charge resulted from the repayment of indebtedness and the repurchase of certain redeemable warrants from the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering in December 1995. Net Income. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $2,844,000, or 113.4%, from $2,507,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $5,351,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND FUTURE RESULTS The Company's future operating results may be effected by various trends in the healthcare industry as well as by a variety of other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control. The healthcare industry is undergoing significant change as third-party payors attempt to control the cost, utilization and delivery of healthcare services. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from Medicare, HMOs, and commercial insurers and other third-party payors. Both government and private payment sources have instituted cost containment measures designed to limit payments made to healthcare providers, by reducing reimbursement rates, limiting services covered, increasing utilization review of services, negotiating prospective or discounted contract pricing, adopting capitation strategies and seeking competitive bids. Although the Company's total revenues have increased in each of the last three fiscal years, revenue growth of the Company's Pacing operations during that period has been negatively impacted by Medicare reimbursement rate reductions in certain geographic areas. Additional reimbursement rate reductions applicable to the Company's Pacing procedures became effective on January 1, 1996. These reductions had a negative effect on the Company's operating results for fiscal 1996 and the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and, unless modified, will continue to have a negative effect on its ongoing results. Further slight rate reductions became effective on January 1, 1997. The Company cannot predict with any certainty whether or when additional reductions or changes in Medicare or other third-party reimbursement rates or policies will be implemented. There can be no assurance that future changes, if any, will not adversely affect the amounts or types of services that may be reimbursed to the Company, or that future reimbursement of any service offered by the Company will be sufficient to cover the costs and overhead allocated to such service. 9 10 From time to time Congress considers legislation to reduce Medicare and Medicaid expenditures. Future legislation of this type could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. A key element of the Company's long-range strategy is the development and operation of integrated heart centers and the acquisition of cardiac healthcare providers and the assets of physician practices and other businesses related to its current operations. In January 1996, the Company entered into an agreement for the development of a heart center (RHCGH) which began operations on February 1, 1996, and in September 1996, the Company acquired all of the non-medical assets of a physician practice (SETCA) and entered into a long-term management service agreement. A second physician practice management service agreement (CCMG) was entered into effective November 1, 1996. The success of the Company's existing and future heart centers and physician practice management activities will depend upon several factors including the Company's ability to: obtain, and operate in compliance with, appropriate licenses; control costs and realize operating efficiencies; educate patients, referring physicians and third-party payors about the benefits of such heart centers; and provide cost-effective services that meet or exceed existing standards of care. An element of the Company's strategy is to expand, in part, through acquisitions and investments in complementary healthcare businesses. The implementation of this strategy may place significant strain on the Company's administrative, operational and financial resources and increased demands on its systems and controls. There can be no assurances that businesses acquired by the Company, either recently or in the future, will be integrated successfully and profitably into the Company's operations, that suitable acquisition or investment opportunities will be identified, or that any such transactions can be consummated. Providers of healthcare services are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern various aspects of their business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain regulatory approvals that may be required to expand its services or that new laws or regulations will not be enacted or adopted that will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or operating results. The healthcare businesses in which the Company is engaged are highly competitive. The Company expects competition to increase as a result of ongoing consolidations and cost-containment pressures, among other factors. The trading price of the Company's Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in the Company's operating results, shortfalls in such operating results from levels forecasted by securities analysts and other events or factors. In addition, the stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of companies in the healthcare service industries and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Announcements of changes in reimbursement policies of third-party payors, regulatory developments, economic news and other external factors may have a significant impact on the market price of healthcare stocks, including the Company's Stock. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's liquidity was materially improved as a result of the completion of the initial public offering of its Common Stock in December 1995 and its receipt of $20,400,000 in net proceeds therefrom. The Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of CDS in June 1996 for cash in the amount of $14,254,000, SETCA in September 1996 for cash in the amount of $4,010,000 and CCMG in November 1996 for cash in the amount of $427,000. At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $20,779,000, compared to $16,204,000 at September 30, 1996. At March 31, 1997, the Company had cash and temporary cash investments of $4,785,000. 10 11 The Company batch-bills Medicare insurance carriers for most cardiac testing services performed during the first five months of each calendar year. This practice results in a temporary build-up of accounts receivable during the Company's second and third fiscal quarters and the collection of these receivables primarily during the subsequent fourth fiscal quarter and the first quarter of the following fiscal year. The Company has a revolving line of credit with two banks in the amount of $25,000,000 to fund working capital needs, future acquisitions, equipment purchases and other business needs. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit bear interest based on a defined formula and are subject to certain covenants. The line of credit expires in August 1998 at which time any outstanding balance converts to a five year term loan. At March 31, 1997, the amount outstanding under the line of credit was $705,000. The Company's long-term capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the rate at which the Company develops and opens new heart centers or acquires existing heart centers or other businesses, if any. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalent balances, together with amounts available from bank borrowings and cash generated by its operating activities, will be adequate to meet the Company's anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures through fiscal 1997. 11 12 PART II.
