SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entity

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company analyzes its variable interests to determine if an entity in which it has a variable interest is a variable interest entity. The Company's analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. The Company bases its quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity and its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision making ability, and relevant financial agreements. The Company also uses its qualitative analysis to determine if it must consolidate a variable interest entity as its primary beneficiary.

The Company has an affiliate equity investment in a variable interest entity that has developed a platform that facilitates the flow, management and sharing of vital health and medical information with stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem. The Company concluded that the entity is a variable interest entity because the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional support from other parties. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary as power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the entity is held by another stakeholder, and therefore does not consolidate the entity. The Company recorded its initial net investment in the variable interest entity of $6.9 million and subsequent working capital contributions in the investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliate line on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets using the equity method of accounting. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the variable interest entity is $19.0 million, which represents the current book value and additional commitments made to fund future potential working capital needs.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.

Receivables

Receivables include amounts due from government sources, such as Medicare and Medicaid programs, PBMs, Managed Care Organizations and other commercial insurance (“Plan Sponsors”); amounts due from patient co-payments; amounts due from pharmaceutical manufacturers for rebates; and service fees resulting from the distribution of certain drugs through retail pharmacies.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on estimates of losses related to receivable balances. The risk of collection varies based upon the product, the payor (commercial health insurance and government) and the patient’s ability to pay the amounts not reimbursed by the payor. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon several factors including the age of the outstanding receivables, the historical experience of collections, adjusting for current economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for the ability to pay. Collection agencies are employed and legal action is taken when we determine that taking collection actions is reasonable relative to the probability of receiving payment on amounts owed. Management judgment is used to assess the collectability of accounts and the economic ability of our customers to pay. Judgment is also used to assess trends in collections and the effects of systems and business process changes on our expected collection rates. The Company reviews the estimation process quarterly and makes changes to the estimates as necessary. When it is determined that a customer account is uncollectible, that balance is written off against the existing allowance.

The following table sets forth the aging of our December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 net accounts receivable (net of allowance for contractual adjustments and prior to allowance for doubtful accounts), aged based on date of service and categorized based on the three primary overall types of accounts receivable characteristics (in thousands):



As of December 31, 2012
	0 - 180 days		Over 180 days		Total
Government	$	41,124	$	2,744	$	43,868
Commercial	75,389		26,137		101,526
Patient	1,784		4,137		5,921
	$	118,297	$	33,018	151,315
Allowance for doubtful accounts					(22,212		)
Total					$	129,103
As of December 31, 2011
	0 - 180 days		Over 180 days		Total
Government (1)	$	36,498	$	5,477	$	41,975
Commercial (1)(2)	175,730		21,504		197,234
Patient	6,348		2,583		8,931
	$	218,576	$	29,564	248,140
Allowance for doubtful accounts					(22,728		)
Total					$	225,412


(1)	Government includes $2.5 million and commercial includes $0.9 million of accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts related to the termination of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Competitive Acquisition Program (“CAP”) contract as of December 31, 2011.

(2)

In prior years, commercial included one pharmacy network agreement under which various Plan Sponsors were served and which Plan Sponsors account for, in the aggregate, receivables that accounted for 21% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2011. This contract was transferred to Walgreen Co. as part of the Pharmacy Services Asset Sale. At December 31, 2012 there was no remaining balance associated with this Pharmacy Services contract.

(3)

Commercial balances declined $95.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 due to the collection of outstanding Pharmacy related balances retained following the sale of the related operations. The commercial balance greater than 180 days old increased by $4.6 million primarily because of the remaining Pharmacy related balances that have not yet been collected. At December 31, 2012 the remaining Pharmacy Services gross accounts receivable balance was $12.8 million and the related allowance for doubtful accounts was $8.0 million.

Allowance for Contractual Discounts

The Company is reimbursed by Plan Sponsors for products and services the Company provides. Payments for medications and services covered by Plan Sponsors are generally less than billed charges. The Company monitors revenue and receivables from Plan Sponsors on an account-specific basis and records an estimated contractual allowance for certain revenue and receivable balances at the revenue recognition date to properly account for anticipated differences between amounts billed and amounts reimbursed. Accordingly, the total revenue and receivables reported in our financial statements are recorded at the amounts expected to be received from these payors. Since billing functions for a portion of the Company's revenue are largely computerized, which enables on-line adjudication (i.e., submitting charges to third-party payors electronically, with simultaneous feedback of the amount the primary insurance plan expects to pay) at the time of sale to record net revenue, exposure to estimating contractual allowance adjustments is limited. For the remaining portion of the Company's revenue, the contractual allowance is estimated based on several criteria, including unbilled and/or initially rejected claims, historical trends based on actual claims paid, current contract and reimbursement terms, and changes in customer base and payor/product mix. Contractual allowance estimates are adjusted to actual amounts as cash is received and claims are settled. The Company does not believe these changes in estimates are material.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists principally of purchased prescription drugs and related supplies. Included in inventory is a reserve for inventory waste and obsolescence.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows:



Asset	Useful Life
Computer hardware and software	3	-	5	years
Office equipment	3	-	5	years
Vehicles			5	years
Medical equipment	2	-	5	years
Furniture and fixtures	5	-	7	years

Leasehold improvements and leased assets under capital leases are depreciated using a straight-line basis over the related lease term or estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is less. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts with the gain or loss, if applicable, recorded in the statement of operations. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Costs relating to the development of software for internal purposes are charged to expense until technological feasibility is established in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Thereafter, the remaining software production costs up to the date placed into production are capitalized and included as Property and Equipment. Depreciation of the capitalized amounts commences on the date the asset is ready for its intended use and is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software.

Amounts due to Plan Sponsors

Amounts due to Plan Sponsors primarily represent payments received from Plan Sponsors in excess of the contractually required reimbursement. These amounts are refunded to Plan Sponsors. These payables also include the sharing of manufacturers’ rebates with Plan Sponsors.

Rebates

Manufacturers’ rebates are part of each of the Company’s segments. Rebates are generally volume-based incentives that are earned and recorded upon purchase of the inventory. Rebates are recorded as a reduction of both inventory and cost of goods sold.

PBM rebates are recorded on historical PBM results and trends and are revised on a regular basis depending on the Company’s latest forecasts, as well as information received from rebate sources. Should actual results differ, adjustments will be recorded in future earnings when the adjustment becomes known. In some instances, rebate payments are shared with the Company’s Plan Sponsors. PBM rebates earned by the Company are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. PBM rebates shared with clients are recorded as a reduction of revenue consistent with the sales incentive provisions of ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”).

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue principally through the sale of prescription drugs and nursing services. Prescription drugs are dispensed either through a pharmacy participating in the Company’s pharmacy network or a pharmacy owned by the Company. Fee-for-service agreements include: (i) pharmacy agreements, where we dispense prescription medications through the Company’s pharmacy facilities and (ii) PBM agreements, where prescription medications are dispensed through pharmacies participating in the Company’s retail pharmacy network.

FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”), addresses situations in which there are multiple deliverables under one revenue arrangement with a customer and provides guidance in determining whether multiple deliverables should be recognized separately or in combination. The Company provides a variety of therapies to patients. For infusion-related therapies, the Company frequently provides multiple deliverables of drugs and related nursing services. After applying the criteria from ASC 605-25, the Company concluded that separate units of accounting exist in revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Drug revenue is recognized at the time the drug is shipped, and nursing revenue is recognized on the date of service. The Company allocates revenue consideration based on the relative fair value as determined by the Company's best estimate of selling price to separate the revenue where there are multiple deliverables under one revenue arrangement.

Revenue generated under PBM agreements is classified as either gross or net based on whether the Company is acting as a principal or an agent in the fulfillment of prescriptions through our retail pharmacy network. When the Company independently has a contractual obligation to pay a network pharmacy provider for benefits provided to its Plan Sponsors’ members, and therefore is the “primary obligor” as defined in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition ("ASC 605") the Company includes payments (which include the drug ingredient cost) from these Plan Sponsors as revenue and payments to the network pharmacy providers as cost of revenue. These transactions require the Company to pay network pharmacy providers, assume credit risk of Plan Sponsors and act as a principal. If the Company merely acts as an agent, and consequently administers Plan Sponsors’ network pharmacy contracts, the Company does not have the primary obligation to pay the network pharmacy and assume credit risk, and as such, records only the administrative fees (and not the drug ingredient cost) as revenue.

Revenue generated under discount card agreements is recognized when the discount card is used to purchase a prescription drug. The revenue is based on contractual rates per transaction. Broker fees associated with the marketing of the discount cards are incurred and recognized at the time the card is used and classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the Company’s Infusion Services and Home Health Services segments, the Company also recognizes nursing revenue as the estimated net realizable amounts from patients and Plan Sponsors for services rendered and products provided. This revenue is recognized as the treatment plan is administered to the patient and is recorded at amounts estimated to be received under reimbursement or payment arrangements with payors.

Under the Medicare Prospective Payment System program, net revenue is recorded based on a reimbursement rate which varies based on the severity of the patient’s condition, service needs and certain other factors. Revenue is recognized ratably over a 60-day episode period and is subject to adjustment during this period if there are significant changes in the patient’s condition during the treatment period or if the patient is discharged but readmitted to another agency within the same 60-day episodic period. Medicare cash receipts under the prospective payment system are initially recognized as deferred revenue and are subsequently recognized as revenue over the 60-day episode period. The process for recognizing revenue under the Medicare program is based on certain assumptions and judgments, the appropriateness of the clinical assessment of each patient at the time of certification, and the level of adjustments to the fixed reimbursement rate relating to patients who receive a limited number of visits, have significant changes in condition or are subject to certain other factors during the episode.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes the costs of prescription medications, pharmacy claims, fees paid to pharmacies, shipping and other direct and indirect costs associated with pharmacy management and administration, claims processing operations, and nursing services, offset by volume and prompt pay discounts received from pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors and total manufacturer rebates.

Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life over its estimated useful life, and an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized. Trademarks, trade names, customer relationships and license and marketing related intangibles are amortized on a straight line basis, which approximates the benefit provided by the utilization of the assets.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of long lived assets, including intangible assets, may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of an asset may not be recoverable. The measurement of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the balance of assets from expected future operating cash flows on an undiscounted basis. Impairment losses, if any, are determined based on the fair value of the asset, calculated as the present value of related cash flows using discount rates that reflect the inherent risk of the underlying business.

Goodwill

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or circumstances exist that indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may no longer be recoverable. The impairment evaluation is based on a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the first step indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the second step must be performed which determines the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill. The measurement of possible impairment is based upon the comparison of the implied fair value of reporting unit to its carrying value.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

Lease Accounting

The Company accounts for operating leasing transactions by recording rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the lease, starting on the date it gains possession of leased property. The Company includes tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays received from landlords, and the effect of any rent escalation clauses, as adjustments to straight-line rent expense over the expected life of the lease.

Capital lease transactions are reflected as a liability at the inception of the lease based on the present value of the minimum lease payments or, if lower, the fair value of the property. Assets recorded under capital leases are depreciated in the same manner as owned property.

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are determined by calculating the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the benefit from its deferred tax assets.

The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, as prescribed by Federal tax laws and the tax laws of the state and local jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination and are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements when the recognition threshold and measurement attributes of ASC 740 are met. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as income tax expense.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued interest and its line of credit. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued interest and its line of credit approximate fair value due to their fully liquid or short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the Company's senior unsecured notes, which is calculated using level 1 inputs and was based on current market rates for debt of the same risk and maturities, was more than the carrying value by approximately $42.1 million on December 31, 2012.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation expense under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). At December 31, 2012, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans pursuant to which incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, performance shares and performance units may be granted to employees and non-employee directors. Option and stock awards are typically settled by issuing authorized but unissued shares of the Company.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award on the measurement date using a binomial option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is amortized to expense on a straight line basis over the requisite service period. The Company expenses restricted stock awards based on vesting requirements, including time elapsed, market conditions and/or performance conditions. Because of these requirements, the weighted average period for which the expense is recognized varies. The Company expenses stock appreciation right awards ("SARs") based on vesting requirements. In addition, because they are settled with cash, the fair value of the SAR awards are revalued on a quarterly basis.

Income (Loss) Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share (in thousands, except for per share amounts):



	Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Numerator:
Loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes	$	(8,340	)	$	(424	)	$	(67,675	)
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	73,047			8,296			(1,467		)
Net income (loss)	$	64,707		$	7,872		$	(69,142	)
Denominator - Basic:
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	56,239			54,505			50,374
Basic Earnings Per Common Share:
Basic loss from continuing operations	$	(0.15	)	$	(0.01	)	$	(1.34	)
Basic income from discontinued operations	1.30			0.15			(0.03		)
Basic income (loss) per common share	$	1.15		$	0.14		$	(1.37	)
Denominator - Diluted:
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	56,239			54,505			50,374
Common share equivalents of outstanding stock options and restricted awards	—			—			—
Total diluted shares outstanding	56,239			54,505			50,374
Diluted Earnings Per Common Share:
Diluted loss from continuing operations	$	(0.15	)	$	(0.01	)	$	(1.34	)
Diluted income from discontinued operations	1.30			0.15			(0.03		)
Diluted income (loss) per common share	$	1.15		$	0.14		$	(1.37	)

The computation of diluted shares for the years ended December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 excludes the effect of 3.4 million warrants with an exercise price of $10 issued in connection with the acquisition of CHS as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive to earning per common share from continuing operations. In addition, the computation of diluted shares for the years ended December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and 2010 excludes the effect of 2.8 million, 4.6 million and 7.3 million, respectively, of other common stock equivalents as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive to earning per common share from continuing operations. ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires that income from continuing operations be used as the basis for determining whether the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 generally aligns the principles for fair value measurements and the related disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. From a U.S. GAAP perspective, the amendments are largely clarifications, but some could have a significant effect on certain companies. A number of new disclosures also are required. Except for certain disclosures, the guidance applies to public and nonpublic companies and is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments were effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under this amendment, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2012-02 on its Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
