Catasys, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
 
 
Note 1.   Basis of Consolidation, Presentation and Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Catasys, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company”, “Catasys”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and our subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial information and do not include all information and notes required for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, from which the December 31, 2010 balance sheet has been derived.

Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $2.6 million and we had a working capital of approximately $0.4 million. We have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. During the three month ended March 31, 2011, our cash used in operating activities amounted $2.0 million. We anticipate that we could continue to incur negative cash flows and net losses for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of the recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As of March 31, 2011, these conditions raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our ability to fund our ongoing operations and continue as a going concern is dependent on signing and generating revenue from new contracts for our Catasys managed care programs and the success of management’s plans to increase revenue and continue to control expenses. We have launched our program in Nevada and are currently in the process of implementing our recently signed Catasys contracts in Kansas and Massachusetts. In aggregate, the contracts we have signed make our program available to approximately 500,000 health plan members. We expect to generate revenue and cash from these contracts later this year. In addition, we have successfully reduced our operating expenses to better scale our ongoing operations.

Based on the provisions of management services agreements (“MSA”) between us and our managed professional medical corporation, we have determined that they constitute variable interest entity, and that we are the primary beneficiary as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“FIN 46R”).  Accordingly, we are required to consolidate the revenue and expenses of our managed professional medical corporation. See Management Service Agreement heading under Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more discussion.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Healthcare Services
 
Our Catasys contracts are generally designed to provide revenues to us on a monthly basis based on enrolled members. To the extent our contracts may include a minimum performance guarantee; we reserve a portion of the monthly fees that may be at risk until the performance measurement period is completed.

License and Management Services

Our license and management services revenues to date have been primarily derived from licensing our PROMETA Treatment Program and providing administrative services to hospitals, treatment facilities and other healthcare providers, and from revenues generated by our managed treatment centers.  We record revenues earned based on the terms of our licensing and management contracts, which requires the use of judgment, including the assessment of the collectability of receivables. Licensing agreements typically provide for a fixed fee on a per-patient basis, payable to us following the providers’ commencement of the use of our program to treat patients.  For revenue recognition purposes, we treat the program licensing and related administrative services as one unit of accounting.  We record the fees owed to us under the terms of the agreements at the time we have performed substantially all required services for each use of our program, which according to our license agreements is in the period in which the provider begins using the program for medically directed and supervised treatment of a patient.

 
6

 
 
The revenues of our managed treatment centers, which we include in our consolidated financial statements, are derived from charging fees directly to patients for medical treatments, including the PROMETA Treatment Program.  Revenues from patients treated at our managed treatment center are recorded based on the number of days of treatment completed during the period as a percentage of the total number treatment days for the PROMETA Treatment Program.  Revenues relating to the continuing care portion of the PROMETA Treatment Program are deferred and recorded over the period during which the continuing care services are provided.

Cost of Healthcare Services

Healthcare Services

Healthcare services cost of services is recognized in the period in which an eligible member actually receives services. We contract with various healthcare providers, including licensed medical and behavioral healthcare professionals on a contracted fee-for-for service basis to provide services to members enrolled in our programs. Healthcare services costs also include direct labor costs for our employees who work directly with members.
 
License and Management Services

License and management services represent direct costs that are incurred in connection with licensing our treatment programs and providing administrative services in accordance with the various technology license and services agreements, and are associated directly with the revenue that we recognize. Consistent with our revenue recognition policy, the costs associated with providing these services are recognized when services have been rendered, which for our license agreements is in the period in which patient treatment commences, and for our managed treatment center is in the periods in which medical treatment is provided. Such costs include royalties paid for the use of the PROMETA Treatment Program for patients treated by all licensees, and direct labor costs, continuing care expense, medical supplies and program medications for patients treated at our managed treatment center.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) per Share
 
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

Common equivalent shares, consisting of 310,587,777 and 19,600,266 of incremental common shares as of March 31, 2011 and  2010, respectively, issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants which have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

Our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), as amended, provides for the issuance of up to 231 million shares of our common stock. Incentive stock options (ISOs) under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code and non-qualified options (NSOs) are authorized under the Plan. We have granted stock options to executive officers, employees, members of our board of directors, and certain outside consultants. The terms and conditions upon which options become exercisable vary among grants, but option rights expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and employee and board of director awards generally vest over three to five years. At March 31, 2011, we had 216,244,964 vested and unvested shares outstanding and 13,860,432 shares available for future awards.

Share-based compensation expense attributable to continuing operations amounted to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Stock Options – Employees and Directors

We measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the date of grant. We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the consolidated statements of operations subsequent to January 1, 2006. We account for share-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method under previous FASB rules, allowable prior to January 1, 2006. Under the intrinsic value method, no share-based compensation expense had been recognized in our consolidated statements of operations for awards to employees and directors because the exercise price of our stock options equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

Share-based compensation expense attributable to continuing operations recognized for employees and directors for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Share-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, includes compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro-forma provisions of  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123, and for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards Council (“ASC”) 718. For share-based awards issued to employees and directors, share-based compensation is attributed to expense using the straight-line single option method. Share-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, reduced for estimated forfeitures. Accounting rules for stock options require forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no options granted to employees compared to 271,700 shares at the weighted average per share exercise price of $0.31, the fair market value of our common stock at the dates of grant.  Employee and director stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011, included cancellations only and was as follows:

    206,404,900     $ 0.11  
 
The expected volatility assumptions have been based on the historical and expected volatility of our stock, measured over a period generally commensurate with the expected term. The weighted average expected option term for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, reflects the application of the simplified method prescribed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 (and as amended by SAB 110), which defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all option tranches.

As of March 31, 2011, there was $3,099,039 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.97 years.

Stock Options and Warrants – Non-employees

We account for the issuance of options and warrants for services from non-employees by estimating the fair value of warrants issued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This model’s calculations include the option or warrant exercise price, the market price of shares on grant date, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, expected life of the option or warrant, expected volatility of our stock and expected dividends.

For options and warrants issued as compensation to non-employees for services that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the time of issuance, the estimated value is recorded in equity and expensed when the services are performed and benefit is received. For unvested shares, the change in fair value during the period is recognized in expense using the graded vesting method.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we issued 8,344,000 options at a $0.071 strike price as compensation for consulting services. There were no options and warrants granted for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, share-based compensation expense attributable to continuing operations relating to stock options and warrants related to non-employees were not material.

Non-employee stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011, included grants only and was as follows:

Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we issued 32,134,000 and 1,095,000 shares of common stock, respectively valued at $1,045,000 and $426,000, in exchange for various services and in settlement of claims. The costs associated with shares issued for services are being amortized to share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the related service periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, share-based compensation expense relating to all common stock issued for consulting services was $79,000 and $165,000, respectively.
 
On March 17, 2011 the $5.9 million debenture notes including interest accrued through the same date, converted into 620,574,548 shares of common stock.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We have a qualified employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), approved by our stockholders, which allows qualified employees to participate in the purchase of designated shares of our common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price at the beginning or end of each specified stock purchase period. There were no shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the ESPP and, thus, no expense incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2011.  As such, the Company has not recorded a provision for income tax for the period ended March 31, 2011.  The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances the Company considers projected future taxable income and the availability of tax planning strategies.  After evaluating all positive and negative historical and perspective evidences, management has determined it is more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets will not be recognized. 
 
The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon the Company’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements.  Based on management's assessment of the facts, circumstances and information available, managements has determined that all of the tax benefits for the period ended March 31, 2011 should be recognized.   

Costs associated with streamlining our operations

There were no costs incurred for streamlining operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to ($64,000) in the first quarter of 2010 in costs incurred and  associated with streamlining our operations consisting primarily of rent expense and severance and related benefits.

Marketable Securities

Investments include certificates of deposit with maturity dates greater than three months when purchased. These investments are classified as available-for-sale investments, are reflected in current assets as marketable securities and are stated at fair market value in accordance with FASB accounting rules related to investment in debt securities. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in stockholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheet in “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Realized gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations on the specific identification method in the period in which they occur. Declines in estimated fair value judged to be other-than-temporary are recognized as an impairment charge in the statement of operations in the period in which they occur.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs use to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable outputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level Input:
 
Input Definition:
Level I
 
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level II
 
Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I, that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level III
 
Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
 
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2011, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2011, represent our liabilities measured at market value on a recurring basis which include warrant liabilities resulting from recent debt and equity financings. In accordance with current accounting rules, the warrant liabilities are being marked to market each quarter-end until they are completely settled. The warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions consistent with those used in our estimate of fair value of employee stock options. See Warrant Liabilities below.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we did not acquire any new intangible assets and at March 31, 2011, all of our intangible assets consisted of intellectual property, which is not subject to renewal or extension. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we relied upon the 2009 external valuation and internal analysis at December 31, 2010,which supported the independent , comprehensive valuation analysis and report intended to provide us with guidance with respect to (i) the determination of the fair value of certain patent rights (“PROMETA Rights”) or the (“Patents”) for the PROMETA Treatment Program (the “PROMETA Program”) and, (ii) appropriate useful lives over which the Patents should be amortized (the “Valuation Opinion and Report”).This Valuation Opinion and Report was and will be used by us to fulfill our obligations under ASC 820 to determine the fair value of intangible assets on our balance sheet for financial reporting purposes. In order to assist the third party in its valuation analysis: Management performed a comprehensive review of our business, operations, and prospects of the patents on a standalone basis, the historical performance of the Company in relation to the Patents, future expectations relating to the Patents and financial statement projections related to the Patents. Management provided revenue projections for the PROMETA Program, including revenue derived from Catasys Health which includes use of the PROMETA Program, over the remaining useful life of the Patents.

Additionally, it is important to note that our overall business model, business operations and future prospects of our business have not changed materially since we performed the reviews and analysis noted above, with the exception of the timing and annualized amounts of expected revenue.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements to property and equipment are capitalized at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from two to seven years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease term, which is typically five to seven years.

Variable Interest Entities

Generally, an entity is defined as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under current accounting rules if it has (a) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (b) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. When determining whether an entity that is a business qualifies as a VIE, we also consider whether (i) we participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) we provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE either involve us or are conducted on our behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that absorbs or receives a majority of the entity’s expected losses or expected residual returns.

As discussed under the heading Management Services Agreements below, we have a MSA with a managed medical corporation. Under this MSA, the equity owner of the affiliated medical group has only a nominal equity investment at risk, and we absorb or receive a majority of the entity’s expected losses or expected residual returns. We participate significantly in the design of this MSA. We also agree to provide working capital loans to allow for the medical group to pay for its obligations. Substantially all of the activities of this managed medical corporation either involve us or are conducted for our benefit, as evidenced by the facts that (i) the operations of the managed medical corporations are conducted primarily using our licensed protocols and (ii) under the MSA, we agree to provide and perform all non-medical management and administrative services for the respective medical group. Payment of our management fee is subordinate to payments of the obligations of the medical group, and repayment of the working capital loans is not guaranteed by the equity owner of the affiliated medical group or other third party. Creditors of the managed medical corporations do not have recourse to our general credit.

Based on the design and provisions of this MSA and the working capital loans provided to the medical group, we have determined that the managed medical corporation is a VIE, and that we are the primary beneficiary as defined in the current accounting rules. Accordingly, we are required to consolidate the revenues and expenses of the managed medical corporation.

Management Services Agreements

We have executed an MSA with a medical professional corporation and related treatment center, with terms generally ranging from five to ten years and provisions to continue on a month-to-month basis following the initial term, unless terminated for cause. Under the MSA, we license to the treatment center the right to use our proprietary treatment programs and related trademarks and provide all required day-to-day business management services, including, but not limited to:
 
 
13

 
 
·  
general administrative support services;
·  
information systems;
·  
recordkeeping;
·  
scheduling;
·  
billing and collection;
·  
marketing and local business development; and
·  
obtaining and maintaining all federal, state and local licenses, certifications and regulatory permits.

The treatment center retains the sole right and obligation to provide medical services to its patients and to make other medically related decisions, such as the choice of medical professionals to hire or medical equipment to acquire and the ordering of drugs.

In addition, we provide medical office space to the treatment center on a non-exclusive basis, and we are responsible for all costs associated with rent and utilities. The treatment center pays us a monthly fee equal to the aggregate amount of (a) our costs of providing management services (including reasonable overhead allocable to the delivery of our services and including start-up costs such as pre-operating salaries, rent, equipment, and tenant improvements incurred for the benefit of the medical group, provided that any capitalized costs will be amortized over a five year period), (b) 10%-15% of the foregoing costs, and (c) any performance bonus amount, as determined by the treatment center at its sole discretion. The treatment center’s payment of our fee is subordinate to payment of the treatment center's obligations, including physician fees and medical group employee compensation.

We have also agreed to provide a credit facility to treatment center to be available as a working capital loan, with interest at the Prime Rate plus 2%.  Funds are advanced pursuant to the terms of the MSAs described above.  The notes are due on demand or upon termination of the respective MSA. At March 31, 2011, there was one outstanding credit facility under which $10.7 million was outstanding. Our maximum exposure to loss could exceed this amount, and cannot be quantified as it is contingent upon the amount of losses incurred by the respective treatment center that we are required to fund under the credit facility.

Under the MSA, the equity owner of the affiliated treatment center has only a nominal equity investment at risk, and we absorb or receive a majority of the entity’s expected losses or expected residual returns. We participate significantly in the design of the MSA. We also agree to provide working capital loans to allow for the treatment center to pay for its obligations. Substantially all of the activities of these managed medical corporations either involve us or are conducted for our benefit, as evidenced by the facts that (i) the operations of the managed medical corporations are conducted primarily using our licensed protocols and (ii) under the MSA, we agree to provide and perform all non-medical management and administrative services for the respective treatment center. Payment of our management fee is subordinate to payments of the obligations of the treatment center, and repayment of the working capital loans is not guaranteed by the equity owner of the affiliated treatment center or other third party. Creditors of the managed medical corporations do not have recourse to our general credit. Based on these facts, we have determined that the managed medical corporations are VIEs and that we are the primary beneficiary as defined in current accounting rules.  Accordingly, we are required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the managed treatment centers.

Warrant Liabilities

We have issued warrants of our common stock in November 2007, September 2009, July 2010, September 2010, October 2010, and November 2010, and the amended and restated senior secured note in July 2008. The warrant agreements include provisions that require us to record them as a liability, at fair value, pursuant to FASB accounting rules, including provisions in some warrants that protect the holders from declines in the our stock price and a requirement to deliver registered shares upon exercise, which is considered outside of our control. The warrant liabilities are marked to market each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded as a non-operating gain or loss in our statement of operations, until they are completely settled or expire. The fair value of the warrants is determined each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, interest rates and expected term.
 
In October 2010, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with certain accredited investors, including Socius Capital Group, LLC (“Socius”), an affiliate of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which such investors purchased $500,000 of senior 12% secured convertible notes and warrants to purchase 12,500,000 shares of our common. The Bridge Warrants were exercisable for 5 years at $0.04 per share subject to adjustment for financings and share issuances below the initial exercise price. The Bridge Warrants for the non-affiliated investors limit the amount of common stock that the holders may acquire through an exercise to no more than 4.99% of all Company Securities, defined as common stock, voting stock, or other Company securities.  As a result of the Company's November 2010 financing (see below), the 12.5 million warrants were re-priced at $0.01, resulting in an increase of shares to 50 million.

In November 2010, the Company completed a private placement with certain accredited investors, including Socius, an affiliate of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jay Wolf, a director of the Company, for gross proceeds of $6.9 million (the “Offering”). Of the gross proceeds, $503,000 represented the exchange of the Bridge Notes and accrued interest and $215,000 represented the cancellation of an accrued compensation liability to our Chairman and CEO. The Company incurred approximately $364,000 in financial advisory, legal and other fees in relation to the offering. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,670,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price $0.01 per share to the financial advisors. The Company issued 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share and sold $5.9 million in aggregate principal of 12% senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to the investors on a pro rata basis. The Notes were to mature on the second anniversary of the closing.  The Notes were secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets. The Notes and any accrued interest convert automatically into common stock either (a) if and when sufficient shares become authorized or (b) upon a reverse stock split at a conversion price of $0.01 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including certain share issuances below $0.01 per share. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a proxy statement seeking shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares or effect a reverse stock split within 30 days of closing.  The Company filed a proxy statement in January 2011 and the stockholders approved both proposals listed above and the Board of Directors decided to implement the increase in authorized shares of common stock. The Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, effective March 17, 2011, which increased the authorized shares of common stock and the Notes with accrued interest automatically converted to common stock. In addition, each non-affiliated investor in the Offering investing $2,000,000 or more received five-year warrants.  One non-affiliated investor received 21,960,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized a gain of $2.0 million and $657,000, respectively, related to the revaluation of our warrant liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. This guidance requires new disclosures related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The adoption of this guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We have adopted this guidance in the financial statements presented herein, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

     In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance under the Multiple Element Revenue Arrangements topic of the Codification which requires separation of the consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price. It also eliminates the residual method of allocation, requires that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price, and requires that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. These changes became effective for us on January 1, 2011, which did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 3.   Segment Information

We manage and report our operations through two business segments: healthcare services and license and management services. We evaluate segment performance based on total assets, revenue and income or loss before provision for income taxes. Our assets are included within each discrete reporting segment. In the event that any services are provided to one reporting segment by the other, the transactions are valued at the market price. No such services were provided during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Summary financial information for our two reportable segments is as follows:

Healthcare Services

Catasys’s integrated substance dependence solutions combine innovative medical and psychosocial treatments with elements of traditional disease management and ongoing member support to help organizations treat and manage substance dependent populations to impact both the medical and behavioral health costs associated with substance dependence and the related co-morbidities.

We are currently marketing our integrated substance dependence solutions to managed care health plans on a case rate or monthly fee, which involves educating third party payors on the disproportionately high cost of their substance dependent population and demonstrating the potential for improved clinical outcomes and reduced cost associated with using our Catasys programs. We have launched our program in Nevada. We are in the process of implementing our previously announced contracts in Kansas and Massachusetts. In aggregate the contracts that we have signed to date make our program available to approximately 500,000 health plan members.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements including the related notes, and the other financial information included in this report. For ease of reference, “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Catasys, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiaries and The PROMETA Center, Inc. unless otherwise stated.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for stock of Catasys and other matters. Statements in this report that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to the future business prospects, revenue and income of Catasys, wherever they occur, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of the senior management of Catasys on the date on which they were made, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this report.

Because the factors discussed in this report could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.  The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward looking statements, except as required by law.

OVERVIEW

General

We are a healthcare services management company, providing specialized behavioral health management services for substance abuse to health plans, employers and unions through a network of licensed healthcare providers and its employees.  The Catasys substance dependence program (Ontrak) was designed to address substance dependence as a chronic disease. The program seeks to lower costs and improve member health through the delivery of integrated medical and psychosocial interventions combining elements of traditional disease management and on-going “care coaching”, including our proprietary PROMETA® Treatment Program for alcoholism and stimulant dependence.  The PROMETA Treatment Program, which integrates behavioral, nutritional and medical components, is also available on a private-pay basis through licensed treatment providers and a company managed treatment center that offers the PROMETA Treatment Program, as well as other treatments for substance dependencies.

Operations

We have launched our  integrated substance dependence solutions for third-party payors in Nevada. We are in the process of implementing our previously announced contracts in Kansas and Massachusetts. We believe that our Catasys offerings will address a high cost segment of the healthcare market for substance dependence, and we are currently marketing our Catasys integrated substance dependence solutions to managed care health plans on a case rate or monthly fee, which involves educating third party payors on the disproportionately high cost of their substance dependent population and demonstrating the potential for improved clinical outcomes and reduced cost associated with using our Catasys programs.

 
21

 

Under our licensing agreements, we provide physicians and other licensed treatment providers access to our PROMETA Treatment Program, education and training in the implementation and use of the licensed technology. The patient’s physician determines the appropriateness of the use of the PROMETA Treatment Program. We receive a fee for the licensed technology and related services generally on a per patient basis. While we continue to maintain licensing agreements with physicians, hospitals and treatment providers for 49 sites throughout the United States, the number of active sites has decreased as a result of our streamline operations, removing field support personnel and significant reductions or eliminations of advertising related to the private pay business. Five sites contributed to revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2011. We will continue to enter into agreements on a selective basis with additional healthcare providers to increase the availability of the PROMETA Treatment Program, but generally only in markets we are presently operating or where such sites will provide support for our Catasys products.  As such revenues are generally related to the number of patients treated, key indicators of our financial performance for the PROMETA Treatment Program will be the number of facilities and healthcare providers that license our technology, and the number of patients that are treated by those providers using our PROMETA Treatment Program. We are currently evaluating and considering additional actions to streamline our operations that may impact the licensing operations as we continue to focus on managed care plans through our healthcare services segment.

We currently manage, under a licensing agreement, one treatment center located in Santa Monica, California (dba The Center to Overcome Addiction).  We manage the business components of the treatment center and license the PROMETA Treatment Program and use of the name in exchange for management and licensing fees under the terms of full business service management agreements. The center offers treatment with the PROMETA Treatment Program for dependencies on alcohol, cocaine and methamphetamines and also offers medical and psychosocial interventions for other substance dependencies and mental health disorders. The revenues and expenses of these centers are included in our consolidated financial statements under accounting standards applicable to variable interest entities.  We are currently evaluating and considering additional actions to streamline our operations that may impact the managed treatment center.

Summary of Consolidated Operating Results

The net loss from continuing operations before provision for income taxes decreased by $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to the $1.3 million gain in the change in fair value of the warrant liability, a decrease of $592,000 in operating expenses, resulting mainly from actions to streamline our healthcare services operations, and a $163,000 decrease in depreciation, partially offset by a $561,000 increase in interest expense related to the November 2010 financing note payables.

 
23

 
 
Revenues

Revenue decreased by $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due mainly to a decline in licensed sites contributing to revenue and in the number of patients treated at our U.S licensed sites and the managed treatment centers, and a decrease in administrative fees earned from licensees. This was partially offset by an increase in non-prometa revenue at the Center to Over Addiction. The number of patients treated decreased by 50% in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The average revenue per patient treated at U.S. licensed sites and at PROMETA Centers decreased by $700 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.

Cost of Healthcare Services

Cost of healthcare services consists of royalties we pay for the use of the PROMETA Treatment Program, and costs incurred by our consolidated managed treatment center (The Center to Overcome Addiction) for direct labor costs for physicians and nursing staff, continuing care expense, medical supplies and treatment program medicine costs. The increase in these costs is primarily due to an increase in direct labor costs related to the recently executed contracts for the Ontrak program.

General and Administrative Expenses

There were no costs associated with streamlining our operations for the three months ending March 31, 2011, compared to ($64,000) in 2010. Total general and administrative expenses decreased by $515,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease is attributable to a $378,000 decrease in salaries and benefits and $170,000 in other general and administrative expenses as a result of the streamlining of our operations.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, general and administrative expenses included $1.1 million and $1.0 million, in non-cash expense for share-based compensation, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $163,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to disposal of fixed assets in 2010.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Impairment Losses

There was no impairment loss related to property plant and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $38,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There was no impairment charge related to intellectual property in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $561,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to interest recorded on the note payables issued in association with the November 2010 financing.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

We issued warrants of our common stock in November 2007, September 2009, July 2010, October 2010, November 2010, and the amended and restated senior secured note in July 2008. The warrants are being accounted for as liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) accounting rules, due to provisions in some warrants that protect the holders from declines in our stock price and a requirement to deliver registered shares upon exercise of the warrants, which is considered outside our control.  The warrants are marked-to-market each reporting period, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, until they are completely settled or expire.

The change in fair value of the warrants amounted to a net gain of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a net gain of $657,000 for the same period in 2010.
 
 We will continue to mark the warrants to market value each quarter-end until they are completely settled.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of May 12, 2011, we had a balance of approximately $1.7 million cash on hand. We had working capital of approximately $0.4 million at March 31, 2011. We have incurred significant net losses and negative operating cash flows since our inception. We could continue to incur negative cash flows and net losses for the next twelve months. Our current cash burn rate is approximately $450,000 per month, excluding non-current accrued liability payments. We expect our current cash resources to cover expenses into September 2011, however delays in cash collections, revenue, or unforeseen expenditures, could impact this estimate. We will need to seek additional sources of capital prior to such time and there is no assurance that additional capital can be raised in an amount which is sufficient for us or on terms favorable to our stockholders.

In July 2010, we closed on $2 million of a registered direct financing with certain institutional investors which represented $1.7 million in net proceeds to our Company.
 
In October 2010, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with certain accredited investors,  including Socius Capital Group, LLC (“Socius”), an affiliate of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which such investors purchased $500,000 of 12% senior secured convertible notes (the “Bridge Notes”) and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.

In November 2010, we completed a private placement with certain accredited investors, including Socius, an affiliate of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jay Wolf, a director of the Company, for gross proceeds of $6.9 million (the “Offering”). Of the gross proceeds, $503,000 represented the exchange of the Bridge Notes and accrued interest and $215,000 represented the cancellation of an accrued compensation liability to our Chairman and CEO. The Company incurred approximately $364,000 in financial advisory, legal and other fees in relation to the offering. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,670,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price $0.01 per share to the financial advisors. The Company issued 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share and sold $5.9 million in aggregate principal of 12% senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to the investors on a pro rata basis. The Notes were to mature on the second anniversary of the closing.  The Notes were secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets. The Notes and any accrued interest convert automatically into common stock either (a) if and when sufficient shares become authorized or (b) upon a reverse stock split at a conversion price of $0.01 per share, subject to certain adjustments, including certain share issuances below $0.01 per share. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a proxy statement seeking shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares or effect a reverse stock split within 30 days of closing.  The Company filed a proxy statement in January 2011 and the stockholders approved both proposals listed above and the Board of Directors decided to implement the increase in authorized shares of common stock. The Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, effective March 17, 2011, which increased the authorized shares of common stock and the Notes with accrued interest automatically converted to common stock. In addition, each non-affiliated investor in the Offering investing $2,000,000 or more would receive five-year warrants.  One non-affiliated investor received 21,960,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The net cash proceeds to the Company from the Offering were estimated to be $6.4 million inclusive of the October transaction and after offering expenses.

Our ability to fund our ongoing operations and continue as a going concern is dependent on signing and generating revenue from existing and new contracts for our Catasys managed care programs and the success of management’s plans to increase revenue and continue to control expenses. We have launched our program in Nevada and are currently in the process of implementing our recently signed Catasys contracts in Kansas, and Massachusetts. In aggregate, the contracts we have signed make our program available to approximately 500,000 health plan members. We expect to generate revenue and cash from these contracts later this year. However, there can be no assurance that we will generate such revenues. In addition, we have reduced our operating expenses to better scale our ongoing operations.

Over the last two years, management took actions that have resulted in reduced annual operating expenses.  We have renegotiated certain leasing and vendor agreements to obtain more favorable pricing and to restructure payment terms with vendors, and have paid some expenses through the issuance of common stock. In the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, management has reduced cost through new lease arrangements on its corporate headquarters and streamlining personnel and other operating costs. These reductions have been somewhat offset by increased expenditures related to contract implementations. We anticipate increasing the number of personnel and incurring additional operating costs during 2011 to service our contracts as they become operational. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we settled, through the issuance of common stock, approximately $1.2 million of liabilities. In previous periods, we have exited markets for our licensee operations that we have determined would not provide short-term profitability. We have continued to exit additional markets for our licensee operations and focused on our promoting our Ontrak program.
 
 
25

 
 
In addition, we and our Chief Executive Officer are party to a litigation in which the plaintiffs assert causes of action for conversion, a request for an order to set aside fraudulent conveyance and breach of contract. While we believe the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and we intend to continue to vigorously defend the case, there can be no assurance that the litigation will be resolved in our favor. If this case is decided against us or our Chief Executive Officer, it may cause us to pay substantial damages, and other related fees. Regardless of whether this litigation is resolved in our favor, any lawsuit to which we are a party will likely be expensive and time consuming to defend or resolve. Costs of defense and any damages resulting from litigation, a ruling against us or a settlement of the litigation could have a significant negative impact our liquidity, including our cash flows.

Cash Flows

We used $2.0 million of cash for operating activities during the three months ended March, 31, 2011, compared to $2.7 million of cash for operating activities during the same period last year. Use of funds in operating activities include general and administrative expense (excluding share-based compensation expense), and the cost of healthcare services, which totaled approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March, 31, 2011, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease in net cash used reflects the decline in such expenses from our efforts to streamline operations.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were not material. Our future capital expenditure requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with our marketing efforts, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights, the necessity of, and time and costs involved in obtaining, regulatory approvals, competing technological and market developments, and our ability to establish collaborative arrangements, effective commercialization, marketing activities and other arrangements.

As discussed above, we currently expend cash at a rate of approximately $450,000 per month, excluding non-current accrued liability payments. We also anticipate cash inflow to increase in the second half of 2011 as we implement our recently executed contracts and we expect our current cash resources to cover expenses into September 2011. However, there can be no assurance that these contracts will produce cash and any delays in cash collections, revenue, or unforeseen expenditures, could impact this estimate.  We will need to seek additional sources of capital prior to such time and there is no assurance that additional capital can be raised in an amount which is sufficient for us or on terms favorable to our stockholders.
 
Senior Secured Note
 
In January 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we sold to Highbridge International LLC (Highbridge) (a) $10 million original principal amount of a senior secured note and (b) warrants to purchase up to approximately 250,000 shares of our common stock (adjusted to 285,185 shares as of December 31, 2007). The note bore interest at a rate of prime plus 2.5%, interest payable quarterly commencing in April 2007, and originally matured in January 2010, The note was redeemable at our option anytime prior to maturity at a redemption price ranging from 103% to 110% of the principal amount during the first 18 months and was originally redeemable at the option of Highbridge beginning in July 2008. We paid $5 million in principal under this note through the issuance of common stock in conjunction with a financing in 2007.

In August, 2009, we amended and restated the senior secured note with Highbridge to extend the maturity date from January 15, 2010 to July 15, 2010, and Highbridge agreed to give up its optional redemption rights. We also committed to exercising our right to sell our ARS in accordance with the terms of the rights offering by UBS, who sold them to us, and use the proceeds from the sale to redeem the note and to provisions that we would use a portion of any capital raised to redeem the note. We also amended all 1.8 million warrants that had been previously issued to Highbridge to purchase shares of our common stock, to change the exercise price to $0.28 per share, and extend the expiration date to five years from the amendment date. In July 2010, we paid off the outstanding balance of the note from the net proceeds of the ARS redemptions (see below).
 
 
26

 
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued common stock which triggered an anti-dilution adjustment to the 1.3 million warrants associated with the 2008 amended and restated senior and secured note held by Highbridge LLC. The adjustment resulted in an increase to the number of warrants outstanding in the amount of 1,960,000. We paid this note in full upon maturity in July 2010.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of March 31, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the appropriateness of our estimates and we maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

We consider our critical accounting estimates to be those that (1) involve significant judgments and uncertainties, (2) require estimates that are more difficult for management to determine, and (3) may produce materially different results when using different assumptions. We have discussed these critical accounting estimates, the basis for their underlying assumptions and estimates and the nature of our related disclosures herein with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. We believe our accounting policies specific to share-based compensation expense, the impairment assessments for intangible assets, valuation of marketable securities, and estimation of the fair value of warrant liabilities, involve our most significant judgments and estimates that are material to our consolidated financial statements. They are discussed further below.

Warrant Liabilities
 
We have issued warrants of our common stock in November 2007, September 2009, July 2010, October 2010, November 2010, and the amended and restated Highbridge senior secured note in July 2008. The warrant agreements include provisions that require us to record them as a liability, at fair value, pursuant to FASB accounting rules, including provisions in some warrants that protect the holders from declines in our stock price and a requirement to deliver registered shares upon exercise, which is considered outside of our control. The warrant liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded as a non-operating gain or loss in our statement of operations, until they are completely settled or expire. The fair value of the warrants is determined each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, interest rates and expected term.

The change in fair value of the warrant liabilities amounted to a net gain of $2.0 million for the three months ended March, 31, 2011 compared to net gain of $657,000 in 2010.  The gains resulted mainly from a decline in the Company’s stock price. We will continue to re-measure the warrant liabilities at fair value each quarter-end until they are completely settled or expire.

Share-based compensation expense

We account for the issuance of stock, stock options and warrants for services from non-employees based on an estimate of the fair value of options and warrants issued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This model’s calculations include the exercise price, the market price of shares on grant date, weighted average assumptions for risk-free interest rates, expected life of the option or warrant, expected volatility of our stock and expected dividend yield.

 
27

 
 
The amounts recorded in the financial statements for share-based expense could vary significantly if we were to use different assumptions. For example, the assumptions we have made for the expected volatility of our stock price have been based on the historical volatility of our stock, measured over a period generally commensurate with the expected term. If we were to use a different volatility than the actual volatility of our stock price, there may be a significant variance in the amounts of share-based compensation expense from the amounts reported. Based on the 2010 assumptions used for the Black-Scholes pricing model, a 50% increase in stock price volatility would have increased the fair values of options by approximately 25%. The weighted average expected option term for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflects the application of the simplified method set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all option tranches.

From time to time, we have retained terminated employees as part-time consultants upon their resignation from our Company. Because the employees continued to provide services to us, their options continued to vest in accordance with the original terms. Due to the change in classification of the option awards, the options were considered modified at the date of termination. The modifications were treated as exchanges of the original awards in return for the issuance of new awards. At the date of termination, the unvested options were no longer accounted for as employee awards and were accounted for as new non-employee awards. The accounting for the portion of the total grants that have already vested and have been previously expensed as equity awards is not changed. There were no employees moved to consulting status for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

We have capitalized significant costs for acquiring patents and other intellectual property directly related to our products and services. We review our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing for impairment, we compare the carrying value of such assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and/or their eventual disposition. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than their carrying amount, we record an impairment loss to recognize a loss for the difference between the assets’ fair value and their carrying value. Since we have not recognized significant revenue to date, our estimates of future revenue may not be realized and the net realizable value of our capitalized costs of intellectual property or other intangible assets may become impaired.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we did not acquire any new intangible assets and at March 31, 2011, all of our intangible assets consisted of intellectual property, which is not subject to renewal or extension. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we relied upon the 2009 external valuation and internal analysis at December 31, 2010, which supported the independent , comprehensive valuation analysis and report intended to provide us with guidance with respect to (i) the determination of the fair value of certain patent rights (“PROMETA Rights”) or the (“Patents”) for the PROMETA Treatment Program (the “PROMETA Program”) and, (ii) appropriate useful lives over which the Patents should be amortized (the “Valuation Opinion and Report”).This Valuation Opinion and Report was and will be used by us to fulfill our obligations under ASC 820 to determine the fair value of intangible assets on our balance sheet for financial reporting purposes. In order to assist the third party in its valuation analysis: Management performed a comprehensive review of our business, operations, and prospects of the patents on a standalone basis, the historical performance of the Company in relation to the Patents, future expectations relating to the Patents and financial statement projections related to the Patents. Management provided revenue projections for the PROMETA Program, including revenue derived from Catasys Health which includes use of the PROMETA Program, over the remaining useful life of the Patents.

Additionally, it is important to note that our overall business model, business operations and future prospects of our business have not changed materially since we performed the reviews and analysis noted above, with the exception of the timing and annualized amounts of expected revenue.

Valuation of Marketable Securities

Investments include certificates of deposit with maturity dates greater than three months when purchased, which are classified as available-for-sale investments and reflected in current or long-term assets, as appropriate, as marketable securities at fair market value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheet within accumulated other comprehensive loss and within other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be “other-than-temporary” are recognized as a non-reversible impairment charge in the Statement of Operations on the specific identification method in the period in which they occur.

 
28

 
 
We regularly review the fair value of our investments. If the fair value of any of our investments falls below our cost basis in the investment, we analyze the decrease to determine whether it represents an other-than-temporary decline in value. In making our determination for each investment, we consider the following factors:

·  
How long and by how much the fair value of the investments have been below cost;
·  
The financial condition of the issuers;
·  
Any downgrades of the investment by rating agencies;
·  
Default on interest or other terms; and
·  
Our intent and ability to hold the investments long enough for them to recover their value.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. This guidance requires new disclosures related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The adoption of this guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We have adopted this guidance in the financial statements presented herein, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance under the Multiple Element Revenue Arrangements topic of the Codification which requires separation of the consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price. It also eliminates the residual method of allocation, requires that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price, and requires that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. These changes became effective for us on January 1, 2011, which did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 13a-15 and rule 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have determined that they are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.  There were no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
