Beech Street Corporation

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Beech Street Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2003 and 2002

1. Background and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Background

 

Beech Street Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) provides access to its networks of preferred providers, utilization management services, case management services, and other cost management and information services to various entities, including insurance companies, self-insured employers, third party administrators and other organizations.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, reflect the consolidated results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company receives revenues for PPO services, utilization management services, and case management services on a predetermined contractual basis (such as a percentage of the derived savings or on a fixed fee per plan participant). Revenues are generally recognized at the time services are provided.

 

Credit Risk

 

The Company’s customers are primarily insurance companies, self-insured corporations, third-party administrators, government entities and other managed care companies located in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States of America; consequently, the majority of its revenues and receivables are generated from these market segments.

 

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amounts ultimately expected not to be collected. In estimating the appropriate level of the allowance for doubtful accounts, management relies predominantly on an internal analysis based upon a specific review of accounts and historical experience. During 2003 and 2002, based upon this analysis, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $162,000 and $780,000, respectively. The Company believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to absorb estimated losses as of December 31, 2003.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Equipment, Software and Fixtures

 

Equipment and fixtures are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the life of the asset or the remaining term of the related lease. Capitalized software costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is approximately two to three years. The Company also had capitalized amounts related to the acquisition of a software license. This software license became fully depreciated and was disposed of in 2002.

Capitalized Software Costs

 

The Company accounts for capitalized software costs in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. In accordance with SOP 98-1, upon meeting the specified criteria, the Company capitalizes external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, along with payroll and payroll related costs for employees who are directly associated with such project.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair market value of net assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not being amortized, but instead will be subject to an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test.

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. As part of the evaluation, the Company compares the carrying value of goodwill with its fair value to determine whether there has been impairment. Management uses projected future cash flows discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as an indicator of fair value. Cash flow projections, although subject to a degree of uncertainty, are based on trends of historical performance and management’s estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value. As of December 31, 2003, the Company does not believe any impairment of goodwill has occurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes as prescribed by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 prescribes the use of the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are expected to be realized.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and has adopted the “disclosure only” alternative allowed under SFAS No. 123.

 

Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, volatility 0%, risk-free interest rate from 4.7% to 7.9%, and an expected life of ten years.

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities-an interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity, and (ii) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. It applies to variable interest entities established after December 31, 2002. Management expects that the application of FIN 46 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. It amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. SFAS 149 amends SFAS 133 for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to SFAS 133, in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments and in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative. The application of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how a company clarifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires a company to classify such instruments as liabilities, whereas they previously may have been classified as equity. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective July 1, 2003. The application of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective December 8, 2000, as amended in the current year, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Agreement”), allowing for borrowings up to $25,000,000, which consists of a $15,000,000 acquisition line of credit and a $10,000,000 revolving line of credit.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had no borrowings outstanding on either the acquisition or revolving line of credit. Interest is payable on a monthly basis.

The Agreement contains various financial and nonfinancial covenants.

As of December 31, 2003 the Company was in compliance with all of the covenant requirements, as amended on December 18, 2003.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

 

401(k) Plan

 

The Company has a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”) established under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code in which all eligible employees can elect to participate. The employees can elect to have certain percentages of their pay withheld for contribution to the Plan on a tax-free basis. The Company matches employees’ contributions as defined in the Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company made contributions to the Plan of approximately $384,000 and $430,000, respectively.

 

Letter of Credit

 

The Company has established an irrevocable and unconditional standby letter of credit in favor of its workers’ compensation insurer for drawings up to $550,000. The beneficiary may draw on this letter of credit if the Company fails to meet their obligations under the policy. The letter of credit expires on March 7, 2004, however, will automatically extend for one year unless the Company notifies the beneficiary. At December 31, 2003, no amount had been drawn on this letter of credit.

 

Deferred Compensation Plan

 

Effective October 1, 1997, the Company adopted an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Executive Plan”) for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company. During 2002, the Company amended the Plan to include Company contributions at the discretion of the board of directors.

Legal Matters

 

The Company is involved in legal actions and regulatory proceedings, which arise in the normal course of business. Provisions are made for anticipated losses when considered by management to be probable and reasonably estimatable. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of these unresolved matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, a complaint was filed against the Company alleging breach of contract. The plaintiff has alleged damages in excess of $10,000,000. Similar actions have been filed by this plaintiff in connection with this complaint in the past, all of which were dismissed by the courts. The Company’s management believes that this complaint, as with all others, is without merit and has requested dismissal. In addition, the Company has, and has sought, contractual indemnity rights against other third parties for any potential loss. Although the ultimate disposition of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of the Company’s management that the outcome of this action will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or operations.

In connection with an acquisition in 1999, the Company established a valuation allowance related to acquired net operating loss carryforwards as it was not more likely than not the Company would be able to utilize these loss carryforwards prior to expiration. In 2003 management determined, based upon current levels of income, that the Company would be able to utilize these loss carryforwards

The Series C Preferred Stock has defined registration rights, is convertible at any time into common stock on a one-for-one basis, is mandatorily convertible into common stock upon occurrence of a qualified public offering, as defined, and has a liquidation preference equal to the original issue price plus accrued but unpaid dividends.

 

Additionally, the Series C Preferred Shareholders are entitled to cumulative dividends as follows:

 

10%   

From the original issuance date through February 28, 2000

15%

Dividends are to be paid in cash or through the issuance of the Company’s common stock at the election of the preferred shareholders, as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid the liquidation amount plus any cumulative unpaid dividends. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, accrued dividends of $2,435,000 and $4,950,000, respectively are reflected in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as they are not expected to be paid in the next twelve months.

The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options to certain officers, directors, key employees, consultants and others performing services to the Company. A total of 262,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. Options for qualified stock options granted thereunder have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted for nonqualified stock options have an exercise price that shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.

 

As of December 31, 2003, 44,000 total shares remain available for grant under the Company’s stock option plan.

 

The options generally vest over three years and generally expire either five or ten years from the date of grant. The Company accounts for its stock options pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for these grants as the exercise price equaled or exceeded the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
