 The Providence Service Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2015

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation, Description of Business and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) include the accounts of The Providence Service Corporation (“Providence,” “the Company,” “our,” “we” and “us”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Investments in non-consolidated entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control are accounted for under the equity method.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. In order to conform to the current year presentation, prior year amounts have been reclassified to show service revenue as one line item, service expense as one line item, and loss on foreign currency translation as a component of other expenses. Additionally, the Company’s legacy workforce development businesses have been reclassified from the Human Services segment to the Workforce Development Services segment.

The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and certain disclosures to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Description of Business

The Company provides and manages health and human services through non-emergency transportation, community and behavioral health, workforce development and health assessment offerings. The Company operates in four segments, Non-Emergency Transportation Services (“NET Services”), Human Services, Workforce Development Services (“WD Services”) and Health Assessment Services (“HA Services”). The NET Services segment manages transportation networks and arranges for client transportation to health care related facilities and services for state or regional Medicaid agencies, managed care organizations (“MCOs”) and commercial insurers. In the Human Services segment, counselors, social workers and behavioral health professionals work with clients, primarily in the client’s home or community, who are eligible for government assistance due to income level, disabilities or court order. The WD Services segment provides outsourced employability and legal offender rehabilitation case management services, primarily to the eligible participants in government sponsored programs. The HA Services segment primarily provides comprehensive health assessments (“CHAs”), for members enrolled in Medicare Advantage (“MA”) health plans, in patient’s homes or nursing facilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: 

● Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

● Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

● Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

● Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

● Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 Publicly held entities must apply the new revenue standard to interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (“ASU 2014-16”). This update requires an entity to determine the nature of the host contract by considering the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share, including the embedded derivative feature that is being evaluated for separate accounting from the host contract when evaluating whether the host contract is more akin to debt or equity. In evaluating the stated and implied substantive terms and features, the existence or omission of any single term or feature does not necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Although an individual term or feature may weigh more heavily in the evaluation on the basis of facts and circumstances, an entity should use judgment based on an evaluation of all the relevant terms and features. ASU 2014-16 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-16 effective January 1, 2015 and applied the literature to determine the accounting for its convertible preferred stock issued in 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 did not impact the Company's existing financial instruments.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This ASU will impact the Company’s financial statements, as the Company has approximately $4,485 of debt issuance costs at June 30, 2015 that are classified as “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The result of the application of this guidance would be to reduce the “Other assets” balance, with a corresponding reduction to “Long-term obligations, less current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016.

2. Concentrations

Contracts with domestic governmental agencies and other domestic entities that contract with governmental agencies accounted for approximately 61.2% and 78.0% of the Company’s domestic revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Contracts with foreign governmental agencies and other foreign entities that contract with governmental agencies accounted for approximately 95.2% and 92.3% of the Company’s foreign revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Additionally, approximately 44.8% of our WD Services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was generated from one foreign payer.

At June 30, 2015, approximately $46,651, or 14.5%, of the Company’s net assets were located in countries outside of the US. At December 31, 2014, approximately $40,213, or 18.2%, of the Company’s net assets were located in countries outside of the US.

3. Equity Investment

The Company entered into a joint venture agreement in November 2014 to form Mission Providence Pty Ltd (“Mission Providence”). As of July 2015, Mission Providence delivers employment services in various regions in Australia. The Company has a 60% ownership in Mission Providence, and has rights to 75% of Mission Providence’s distributions of cash or profit surplus twice per calendar year. The Company provided and will continue to provide capital contributions to Mission Providence in exchange for its equity interests.

The Company determined it has a variable interest in Mission Providence. However, it does not have unilateral power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Mission Providence’s economic performance, which include budget approval, business planning, the appointment of key officers and liquidation and distribution of share capital, and, as a result, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Mission Providence. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting and the Company’s share of Mission Providence’s losses are recorded as “Loss on equity investment” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and the maximum loss exposure related to the Company’s interest in Mission Providence at June 30, 2015:

Assets		Liabilities
Other Assets		Accrued Expenses		Maximum Exposure to Loss
$	19,573	$	9,328	$	19,573

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company will be required to make future financial contributions, these future expected contributions are included in “Other Assets” and “Accrued Expenses” in the table above.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

7

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company may be required to pay additional consideration under certain acquisition agreements based on the achievement of certain earnings targets by the acquired businesses. Acquisition-related contingent consideration is initially measured and recorded at fair value as an element of consideration paid in connection with an acquisition with subsequent adjustments recognized in other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company determines the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration, and any subsequent changes in fair value using a discounted probability-weighted approach. This approach takes into consideration Level 3 unobservable inputs including probability assessments of expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled and applies a discount factor that captures the uncertainties associated with the obligation. Changes in these unobservable inputs could significantly impact the fair value of the obligation recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration was $2,611 at June 30, 2015, which is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration was $10,549 at December 31, 2014, of which $7,767 was included in “Accrued expenses” and $2,782 was included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in the contingent consideration since December 31, 2014 is attributable to payments totaling $7,496 made in the first quarter of 2015 and changes in the foreign currency translation rate.

5. Long-Term Obligations and Note Payable to Related Party

          The Company’s long-term obligations were as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2015		2014
$240,000 revolving loan (previously $165,000; amended May 28, 2014), LIBOR plus 2.25% - 3.25% (effective rate of 3.23% at June 30, 2015) through August 2018 with interest payable at least once every three months	$	191,700	$	201,700
$250,000 term loan, LIBOR plus 2.25% - 3.25% (effective rate of 3.28% at June 30, 2015), with principal payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2015 and interest payable at least once every three months through August 2018		240,625		250,000
$60,000 term loan, LIBOR plus 2.25% - 3.25% (effective rate of 3.28% at June 30, 2015), with principal payable quarterly beginning December 31, 2014 and interest payable at least once every three months, through August 2018		56,625		58,875
14.0% unsecured related party, subordinated bridge note with principal due September 30, 2018 and interest payable quarterly		-		65,500
2.0% unsecured, subordinated note to former stockholder of acquired company, principal and interest due May 2016		600		600
		489,550		576,675
Less unamortized discount on debt		1,220		1,462
		488,330		575,213
Less current portion		29,663		90,688
Total long-term obligations, less current portion	$	458,667	$	484,525

8

           The carrying amount of the long-term obligations approximated their fair value at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations was estimated based on interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having same or similar remaining maturities and collateral requirements.

Related party unsecured subordinated bridge note

On October 23, 2014, the Company issued to Coliseum Capital Management, LLC and certain of its affiliates (“Coliseum”), a related party, a 14.0% Unsecured Subordinated Note in aggregate principal amount of $65,500 (the “Note”) due September 30, 2018. The Note was repaid in full on February 11, 2015, with the proceeds from a registered rights offering of convertible preferred stock (“Rights Offering”) and a related standby purchase agreement.

6. Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

           The Company issues both option awards and restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors. Option awards and restricted stock vest commensurate with the respective award agreements. The fair value expense of option awards was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and amortized over the option’s vesting periods, and the fair value expense of restricted stock grants was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized as stock based compensation expense over the vesting period. The following table summarizes the stock option activity:

	For the six months ended June 30, 2015
	Number of Shares Under Option			Weighted-average Exercise Price
Balance at beginning of period		813,622		$	30.77
Exercised		(147,461	)	$	16.12
Forfeited or expired		(21,500	)	$	36.27
Outstanding at June 30, 2015		644,661		$	33.94

7. Convertible Preferred Stock, Net

The Company completed a Rights Offering, on February 5, 2015, providing all of the Company’s existing common stock holders the non-transferrable right to purchase their pro rata share of $65,500 of convertible preferred stock at a price equal to $100 per share. The convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of Providence’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $39.88 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 22, 2014.

Stockholders exercised subscription rights to purchase 130,884 shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”) between Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P., Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P. and Blackwell Partners, LLC (collectively, the "Standby Purchasers") and the Company, the remaining 524,116 shares of the Company's preferred stock were purchased by the Standby Purchasers at the $100 per share subscription price. The Company received $65,500 in aggregate gross proceeds from the consummation of the Rights Offering and Standby Purchase Agreement. Additionally, on March 12, 2015, the Standby Purchasers exercised their right to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, at a purchase price of $105 per share, of the same series and having the same conversion price as the convertible preferred stock sold in the Rights Offering.

The Company may pay a noncumulative cash dividend on each share of convertible preferred stock, when, as and if declared by its board of directors, at the rate of five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum on the liquidation preference then in effect. On or before the third business day immediately preceding each fiscal quarter, the Company must determine its intention whether or not to pay a cash dividend with respect to that ensuing quarter and will give notice of its intention to each holder of convertible preferred stock as soon as practicable thereafter.

In the event the Company does not declare and pay a cash dividend, the Company will pay paid in kind (“PIK”) dividends by increasing the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock to an amount equal to the liquidation preference in effect at the start of the applicable dividend period, plus an amount equal to such then applicable liquidation preference multiplied by eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed from the start of the applicable dividend period to the applicable date of determination.

Cash dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2015, and, if declared, will begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. PIK dividends, if applicable, will accrue and be cumulative on the same schedule as set forth above for cash dividends and will also be compounded at the applicable annual rate on each applicable subsequent dividend date. Cash dividends totaling $594 and $1,104 were paid to preferred stockholders on April 1, 2015 and July 1, 2015, respectively.

The convertible preferred stock is accounted for as mezzanine equity as it could be redeemed upon certain change in control events that are not solely in the control of the Company. Dividends are recorded in stockholders equity and consist of the 5.5%/8.5% dividend.

Convertible preferred stock, net at June 30, 2015 consisted of the following:

Original issue price of convertible preferred stock	$	81,250
Less: Issuance costs		(3,531	)
Total convertible preferred stock, net	$	77,719

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, 805,000 and 594,171 shares of convertible preferred stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

10. Income Taxes

           The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 55.9% and 54.9%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 45.3% and 42.9%, respectively. For both periods, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0%, due primarily to state income taxes as well as non-deductible expenses. Non-deductible expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included the loss on equity investment.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

On June 15, 2015, a putative stockholder class action derivative complaint was filed in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, captioned In re The Providence Service Corporation Derivative Litigation, Case No. 11149.  The complaint names Richard A. Kerley, Kristi L. Meints, Warren S. Rustand, Christopher Shackelton (the “Individual Defendants”) and Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum LLC”) as defendants, and the Company as a nominal defendant.  The complaint states direct claims alleging that the dividend rate increase term in the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock is an impermissibly coercive measure that impairs the voting rights of the Company’s stockholders on the removal of certain voting and conversion caps (“Caps”) currently applicable to the preferred stock, and that Individual Defendants have breached their fiduciary duties by approving the dividend rate increase term and attempting to coerce the stockholder vote relating to the Company’s preferred stock, and by failing to disclose all material information necessary to allow the Company’s stockholders to cast an informed vote on the Caps. The complaint states derivative claims alleging that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by entering into the subordinated note and standby agreement with Coliseum LLC, and granting Coliseum LLC certain stock options.  The complaint further alleges that Coliseum LLC has aided and abetted the Individual Defendants in breaching their fiduciary duties and that demand on the Board is excused as futile.  The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the stockholder vote relating to the dividend rate increase, a finding that the Individual Defendants are liable for breaching their fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company’s stockholders, a finding that Coliseum LLC is liable for aiding and abetting the Individual Defendant’s breaches of their fiduciary duties, a finding that Coliseum LLC is liable for unjust enrichment, a finding that demand on the Board is excused as futile, a revision or rescission of the terms of the Subordinated Note and preferred stock as necessary and/or appropriate, a requirement for the Company to reform its corporate governance profile to protect against future misconduct similar to that alleged by the putative stockholder class, a certification of the putative stockholder class, costs and disbursements (including expenses, attorneys’ and experts’ fees), and any other and further relief as is just and equitable.  On June 26, 2015, the Court entered a schedule governing expedited proceedings as agreed to by counsel for the parties. A hearing on plaintiff’s motion to enjoin the stockholder vote is scheduled for September 10, 2015. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ allegations lack merit and will vigorously contest them. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities related to this matter as the probability and range of a settlement cannot be determined.

The Company is involved in other various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, many of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

The Company has two deferred compensation plans for management and highly compensated employees. These deferred compensation plans are unfunded; therefore, benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company. The total of participant deferrals, which is reflected in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $1,461 and $1,432 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

12. Transactions with Related Parties

On October 23, 2014, the Company issued to Coliseum, a related party, a 14.0% Unsecured Subordinated Note in aggregate principal amount of $65,500. Interest from the issuance date to, but excluding, the 120th day after the issuance date, was paid in cash in the amount of $3,015 on the issuance of the Note. Coliseum held approximately 15% of our outstanding common stock as of October 23, 2014 and is the Company’s largest shareholder. Additionally, Christopher Shackelton, who serves as the Company’s Chairman of the board of directors and since June 1, 2015 has served as interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is also a Managing Partner at Coliseum Capital Management, LLC.

The Note was repaid in full on February 11, 2015, with the proceeds from a registered Rights Offering and related standby purchase commitment described above, which allowed all of the Company’s existing common stockholders the non-transferrable right to purchase their pro rata share of $65,500 of convertible preferred stock at a price of $100 per share, as further described above.

In connection with the anticipated Rights Offering, on October 23, 2014, the Company entered the Standby Purchase Agreement with the Standby Purchasers, pursuant to which the Standby Purchasers agreed to purchase, substantially simultaneously with the completion of the Rights Offering, in the aggregate, all of the available preferred stock not otherwise sold in the Rights Offering following the exercise of the subscription privileges of holders of the Company’s common stock. As consideration for entering into the Standby Purchase Agreement, on October 23, 2014, the Company paid the Standby Purchasers a fee of $2,947, which is included in “Convertible Preferred Stock, Net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2015. In addition the Standby Purchasers had the right, exercisable within 30 days following the completion of the Rights Offering, to purchase additional preferred stock valued at $15,000 at a price per share of $105 which was exercised on March 12, 2015. Preferred stock dividends earned by Coliseum during the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $1,616.

13. Acquisitions

On October 23, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. (“Matrix”), the parent company of Community Care Health Network, Inc. (dba Matrix Medical Network ), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 17, 2014. The purchase price of Matrix is calculated as follows:

Cash purchase of common stock (including working capital adjustment)	$	354,637
Equity consideration (valued using October 23, 2014 stock price)		38,569
Total purchase price	$	393,206

The table below presents Matrix’s net assets based upon a preliminary estimate of their respective fair values:

Accounts receivable (1)	$	21,546
Other current assets		11,371
Property and equipment		4,293
Intangibles		247,300
Goodwill (2)		213,149
Other non-current assets		3,953
Deferred taxes, net		(83,677	)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(24,175	)
Other non-current liabilities		(554	)
Total	$	393,206

(1) The fair value of trade accounts receivable acquired in this transaction was determined to be approximately $21,546. The gross amount due with respect to these receivables is approximately $22,745, of which approximately $1,199 is expected to be uncollectible.

(2) The goodwill was allocated to the Company's HA Services segment. Goodwill totaling $995 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill includes the value of the purchased assembled workforce.

The above fair value estimates represent the preliminary fair value estimates as the valuation of intangible assets has not been finalized.

The preliminary fair value of intangible assets is as follows:

	Type	Life (Years)		Value
Trademarks and trade names	Indefinite Lived	N/A		$	25,900

The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the transactions been consummated on January 1, 2014.

14. Business Segments

The Company’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its service lines. The Company operates in four segments, NET Services, Human Services, WD Services and HA Services. NET Services includes managing the delivery of non-emergency transportation services. Human Services includes government sponsored home and community based counseling, foster care and not-for-profit management services. WD Services includes workforce development, case management and outsourced employability programs. HA Services provides CHAs for MA health plans in enrolled members’ homes or nursing facilities.

Historically, the Company reported its segment activities under a full absorption method, where all corporate direct and indirect costs were allocated to the reporting segments. The Company began analyzing the results of the segments exclusive of the allocation of indirect corporate costs on January 1, 2015. Corporate costs that represent a direct expense of a segment continue to be allocated to the respective segment. The segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 have been recast to reflect management’s current internal method of segment reporting. The Corporate and Other column includes certain general and administrative costs that are not directly attributable to a specific segment, such as executive, accounting, technology, legal and other costs, as well as consolidation and elimination amounts and the activities of the Company’s wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2015, oversight of the Company’s legacy workforce development businesses (those that existed prior to the acquisition of Ingeus) was transferred to the management of the WD Services segment. The financial results of these legacy workforce development businesses have been reclassified from the Human Services segment to the WD Services segment in the table below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, as well as our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. For purposes of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” references to Q2 2015 and Q2 2014 mean the three months ended June 30, 2015 and the three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. In addition, references to YTD 2015 and YTD 2014 mean the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Overview of our business

We arrange for and manage non-emergency transportation (“NET”) services and provide behavioral health and other human services, workforce development (“WD”) services and health assessment (“HA”) services. In response to the large and growing population of eligible beneficiaries of government sponsored services, increasing pressure on governments to control costs and increasing acceptance of privatized human services and managed care solutions, we have grown both organically and through strategic acquisitions, including the acquisitions of Ingeus Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Ingeus”) and CCHN Group Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Matrix”) during the second and fourth quarters, respectively, of 2014.

Critical accounting estimates and policies

As of June 30, 2015, there has been no change in our accounting policies or the underlying assumptions or methodologies used to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered by this report. For further discussion of our critical accounting policies see management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Results of operations

Segment reporting. Our operations are organized and reviewed by management along our service lines. We operate in four segments, NET services, Human Services, WD Services and HA Services. NET Services includes managing the delivery of non-emergency transportation services. Human Services includes government sponsored home and community based counseling, foster care and not-for-profit management services. WD Services includes workforce development, case management and outsourced employability programs. HA Services provides comprehensive health assessments (“CHAs”) for Medicare Advantage (“MA”) health plans in enrolled members’ homes or nursing facilities.

Historically, we reported our segment activities under a full absorption method, where all corporate direct and indirect costs were allocated to the reporting segments. We began analyzing the results of the segments exclusive of the allocation of indirect corporate costs on January 1, 2015. Corporate costs that represent a direct expense of a segment continue to be allocated to the respective segment. The segment results for Q2 2014 and YTD 2014 have been recast to reflect management’s current internal method of segment reporting. The Corporate and Other information includes certain general and administrative costs that are not directly attributable to a specific segment, such as executive, accounting, technology, legal and other costs, as well as consolidation and elimination amounts and the activities of our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2015, oversight of our legacy workforce development businesses (those that existed prior to the acquisition of Ingeus) was transferred to the management of the WD Services segment. The financial results of these legacy workforce development businesses have been reclassified from the Human Services segment to the WD Services segment in the tables below.

Additionally, NET service expense increased $50.5 million in Q2 2015 as compared to Q2 2014 as further discussed below.

Operating income. Consolidated operating income increased by approximately $6.4 million from Q2 2014 to Q2 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to Matrix’s operating income of approximately $6.3 million, as well as increased profitability of our NET Services and Human Services segments as further discussed below. These increases were offset by a decrease in operating income attributable to Ingeus of approximately $4.2 million in Q2 2015 as compared to Q2 2014.

Interest expense, net. Our current and long-term debt obligations have increased from approximately $191.6 million at June 30, 2014 to $488.3 million at June 30, 2015. The increase in our interest expense, net for Q2 2015 as compared to Q2 2014 primarily resulted from the increase in outstanding debt incurred primarily to fund our acquisitions of Ingeus and Matrix, as well as the amortization of deferred financing fees incurred in October 2014.

Loss on equity investments. The loss on equity investments relates primarily to our investment in Mission Providence, a joint venture in Australia. Mission Providence has incurred start-up and administrative costs to date.

(Gain) loss on foreign currency translation. Gain on foreign currency of approximately $0.7 million and loss on foreign currency of approximately $0.1 million for Q2 2015 and Q2 2014, respectively, were primarily due to translation adjustments on intercompany transactions with our foreign subsidiaries.

Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rate for Q2 2015 and Q2 2014 was 55.9% and 45.3%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% for Q2 2015 and Q2 2014 due primarily to state taxes as well as various non-deductible expenses. Q2 2015 non-deductible expenses included the loss on equity investment relating to the Mission Providence joint venture in Australia, which had a significant impact on the effective tax rate.

Additionally, utilization has increased due to increased client use by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act population as they become more familiar with the availability of NET services.

General and administrative expense. Our NET Services segment’s general and administrative expenses included approximately $5.1 million and $4.0 million for YTD 2015 and YTD 2014, respectively, of facility costs, which have increased due to the overall growth of our operations, including the opening of a new call center in Arizona in December 2014.

Service revenue. Our Human Services segment revenues decreased by $1.1 million during Q2 2015, a 1.2% decrease compared to Q2 2014. The decrease was primarily a result of the termination of the Texas foster care contract in 2014, which led to a decrease in revenue of approximately $7.3 million in Q2 2015. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue of approximately $4.3 million derived from two human services entities that were acquired in 2014, as well as approximately $0.8 million related to collection of reserved revenue in California, expansion in Maine and the growth of foster care services in Tennessee.

The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $8.5 million in service expense related to the termination of the Texas foster care contract in 2014, as well as increased provider productivity, consolidation of back offices and rationalization of administrative functions.

General and administrative expense. Our HA Services segment’s general and administrative expenses included approximately $1.3 million of facility costs in YTD 2015.

Corporate and Other

Our Corporate and Other financial results were as follows for Q2 2015 and Q2 2014 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
		$			$
Service revenue	$	(240	)	$	(293	)
Service expense		(25	)		(429	)
General and administrative expense		7,061			6,963
Depreciation and amortization		344			272
Operating loss	$	(7,620	)	$	(7,099	)

Operating loss. Corporate and Other operating loss increased by approximately $0.5 million in Q2 2015 as compared to Q2 2014. General and administrative expense increased in Q2 2015 as compared to Q2 2014 due to additional share-settled stock based compensation expense of approximately $1.4 million, which included approximately $0.7 million of expense attributable to stock award modifications related to a separation agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer, as well as an increase of approximately $0.4 million in recruiting fees and $0.3 million in accounting and auditing fees. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in acquisition costs, related to the acquisition of Ingeus, of approximately $2.4 million.

Our Corporate and Other financial results were as follows for YTD 2015 and YTD 2014 (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
		$			$
Service revenue	$	(442	)	$	(517	)

General and administrative expense		16,521			13,192
Depreciation and amortization		622			529
Operating loss	$	(17,184	)	$	(13,189	)

Operating loss. Corporate and Other operating loss increased by approximately $4.0 million in YTD 2015 as compared to YTD 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $3.3 million in YTD 2015 as compared to YTD 2014. The increase in expense from YTD 2014 to YTD 2015 was primarily attributable to increased stock compensation expense for cash settled awards of approximately $1.6 million, increased stock compensation for share settled awards of approximately $2.1 million, increased accounting and auditing fees of approximately $1.3 million, increased payroll and related costs of approximately $0.5 million and increased recruiting costs of approximately $0.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in acquisition costs, related to the aquisition of Ingeus, of approximately $4.2 million.

Seasonality

Our quarterly operating results and operating cash flows normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business. Our NET Services operating segment experiences fluctuations in demand for its non-emergency transportation services during the summer, winter and holiday seasons. Due to higher demand in the summer months and lower demand in the winter and holiday seasons, coupled with a primarily fixed revenue stream based on a per member, per month payment structure, our NET Services operating segment normally experiences lower operating margins in the summer season and higher operating margins in the winter and holiday seasons.

In our Human Services operating segment, lower client demand for its home and community based services during the holiday and summer seasons generally results in lower revenue during those periods. Our operating expenses related to the Human Services operating segment do not vary significantly with these changes in revenue. As a result, our Human Services operating segment typically experiences lower operating margins during the holiday and summer seasons.

Our HA and WD Services operating segments typically do not experience seasonal fluctuations in operating results, however, quarterly volatility in revenue and earnings is common.

Liquidity and capital resources 

Short-term capital requirements consist primarily of recurring operating expenses, new contract start-up costs, commitments to fund investments and debt service requirements. We expect to meet these requirements through available cash on hand, the generation of cash from our operating segments and availability under our revolving credit facility.

Cash flow from operating activities was our primary source of cash in YTD 2015. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $145.2 million and $160.4 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Approximately $67.6 million of cash was held in foreign countries at June 30, 2015, and is not available to fund domestic operations unless the funds are repatriated. The repatriation of funds would be subject to certain taxes and fees that are prohibitive, and as such, we do not currently intend to repatriate funds held internationally. We had restricted cash of approximately $18.9 million and $18.6 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, related to contractual obligations and activities of our captive insurance subsidiaries and other subsidiaries. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our total debt was approximately $489.6 million and $576.7 million, respectively.

29

We may access capital markets to raise equity or debt financing for various business reasons, including required debt payments and acquisitions. The timing, term, size, and pricing of any such financing will depend on investor interest and market conditions, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing.

Cash flows

Operating activities. We generated net cash flows from operating activities of approximately $23.6 million for YTD 2015. These cash flows included net income of approximately $12.9 million plus net non-cash depreciation, amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, provision for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes, loss on equity investment and other items of approximately $34.6 million. The balance of the cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to the net effect of changes in other working capital items, including the following significant items:

● a decrease in cash of approximately $60.9 million primarily related to the increase in accounts receivable of approximately $22.1 million related to our WD Services segment and increased accounts receivable of approximately $32.5 million in our NET Services segment, and

● an increase in cash of approximately $17.8 million related to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expense, primarily due to increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to Ingeus of approximately $16.4 million.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $29.0 million for YTD 2015. Approximately $13.1 million was used to purchase property and equipment to support the growth of our operations, approximately $13.8 million was used to fund our equity method investment and approximately $1.7 million was used for the final settlement of purchase price adjustments related to the Ingeus acquisition. The $1.7 million of purchase price adjustments were reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014.

Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $11.8 million for YTD 2015. Cash provided by financing activities included approximately $80.7 million of net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock and $2.4 million of cash received from employee stock option exercises. Cash used in financing activities included the repayment of our note payable to a related party totaling $65.5 million, scheduled debt payments under our credit facility of approximately $11.6 million, repayments on our revolving credit facility totaling $10.0 million and the payment of contingent consideration related to the Ingeus acquisition of approximately $7.5 million.

Obligations and commitments

Credit facility. On August 2, 2013, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers and other lenders party thereto. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided us with a senior secured credit facility, or the Credit Facility, in aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million, comprised of a $60.0 million term loan facility and a $165.0 million revolving credit facility. The Credit Facility includes sublimits for swingline loans and letters of credit in amounts of up to $10.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. On August 2, 2013, we borrowed the entire amount available under the term loan facility and $16.0 million under our revolving credit facility and used the proceeds thereof to refinance certain of our existing indebtedness.

On May 28, 2014 we entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to our Credit Facility. The First Amendment provided for, among other things, an increase in the aggregate amount of the revolving credit facility from $165.0 million to $240.0 million and other modifications in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of Ingeus.

30

On October 23, 2014, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement and Consent (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Credit Facility to (i) add a new term loan tranche in aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million to partly finance the acquisition of Matrix, (ii) provide the consent of the required lenders to consummate the acquisition of Matrix, (iii) permit incurrence of additional debt to fund the acquisition of Matrix, (iv) add an excess cash flow mandatory prepayment provision and (v) such other amendments which are beneficial to us and provide greater flexibility for our future operations.

Under the Credit Facility we have an option to request an increase in the amount of the revolving credit facility and/or the term loan facility from time to time (on substantially the same terms as apply to the existing facilities) in an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million with either additional commitments from lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at such time or new commitments from financial institutions acceptable to the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion, so long as no default or event of default exists at the time of any such increase. We may not be able to access additional funds under this increase option as no lender is obligated to participate in any such increase under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility matures on August 2, 2018. We may prepay the Credit Facility in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in connection with prepayments of London Interbank Offering Rate, or LIBOR, loans. The unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Facility may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by us at any time without penalty.

Our obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of our present and future domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain domestic subsidiaries, which include our insurance captives and not-for-profit subsidiaries. Our obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our respective assets, including a pledge of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the issued and outstanding stock of our first tier foreign subsidiaries.

Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loans accrues, at our election, at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin or the base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 2.25% to 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 1.25% to 2.25% in the case of the base rate loans, in each case, based on our consolidated leverage ratio as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears. The interest rate applied to our term loan at June 30, 2015 was 3.28%. In addition, we are obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on a percentage of the unused portion of each lender’s commitment under the revolving credit facility and quarterly letter of credit fees based on a percentage of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit. The commitment fee and letter of credit fee ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and 2.25% to 3.25%, respectively, in each case, based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

The $60.0 million term loan is subject to quarterly amortization payments, commencing on December 31, 2014, so that the following percentages of the term loan outstanding on the closing date plus the principal amount of any term loans funded pursuant to the increase option are repaid as follows: 7.5% between December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, 10.0% between December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, 12.5% between December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, 11.25% between December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 and the remaining balance at maturity.

The $250.0 million term loan is subject to quarterly amortization payments, which commenced on March 31, 2015, so that the following percentages of the term loan outstanding on the closing date plus the principal amount of any term loans funded pursuant to the increase option are repaid as follows: 5.625% between March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, 10.0% between December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, 12.5% between December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, 11.25% between December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 and the remaining balance at maturity.

31

The Credit Facility also requires us (subject to certain exceptions) to prepay the outstanding loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from certain asset dispositions, debt issuances, insurance and casualty awards and other extraordinary receipts.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, give guarantees, pay dividends, sell assets and merge and consolidate. We are subject to financial covenants, including consolidated net leverage and consolidated fixed charge covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2015.

We had $191.7 million of borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2015. $25.0 million of the revolving credit facility is available to collateralize certain letters of credit. As of June 30, 2015, there were nine letters of credit in the amount of approximately $10.4 million collateralized under the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2015, our available credit under the revolving credit facility was $27.9 million.

Contingent obligations. Under The Providence Service Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended, or Deferred Compensation Plan, eligible employees and independent contractors of a participating employer (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) may defer all or a portion of their base salary, service bonus, performance-based compensation earned in a period of 12 months or more, commissions and, in the case of independent contractors, compensation reportable on Form 1099. The Deferred Compensation Plan is unfunded and benefits are paid from our general assets. We also maintain a 409(A) Deferred Compensation Rabbi Trust Plan for highly compensated employees of our NET Services segment. Benefits are paid from our general assets under this plan. The total amounts due under these plans were approximately $1.5 million and $1.4 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Reinsurance and Self-Funded Insurance Programs

Reinsurance

           We reinsure a substantial portion of our automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation costs under reinsurance programs through our wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, Social Services Providers Captive Insurance Company, or SPCIC. At June 30, 2015, the cumulative reserve for expected losses since inception of these automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation costs reinsurance programs was approximately $1.1 million, $3.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively. In addition, based on an independent actuarial report, our expected losses related to workers’ compensation and general and professional liability in excess of our liability under our associated reinsurance programs at June 30, 2015 was approximately $6.1 million. Further, SPCIC had restricted cash of approximately $17.7 million and $17.5 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which was restricted to secure the reinsured claims losses of SPCIC under the automobile, general and professional liability and workers’ compensation reinsurance programs.

Health Insurance

           We offer our NET Services segment and Human Service segment employees an option to participate in a self-funded health insurance program. The liability for the self-funded health plan of approximately $2.4 million and $2.0 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, was recorded in “Reinsurance liability reserve” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, such as any statements about our confidence, strategies or expectations about revenues, liabilities, results of operations, cash flows, ability to fund operations, profitability, ability to meet financial covenants, contracts or market opportunities, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “will,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future,” and “intends” and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

32

The forward-looking statements contained herein are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause our actual results or achievements to differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this report. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Foreign currency risk

As of June 30, 2015, we conducted business in 11 countries outside the US. As such, our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not currently hedge against the possible impact of currency fluctuations. For Q2 2015, we used 11 functional currencies and generated approximately $191.6 million of our net operating revenues from operations outside the US. As we expand further into international markets, we expect the risk from foreign currency exchange rates to increase.

A 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate from the Great British Pound to the US Dollar would have a $15.3 million impact on revenue, but would not significantly impact net income. A 10% adverse change in other foreign currency exchange rates would not have a significant impact on the revenue or operating results of the Company.

Interest rate and market risk

As of June 30, 2015, we had borrowings under our term loans of $297.3 million and borrowings under our revolving line of credit of $191.7 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrued interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% per annum as of June 30, 2015. An increase of 1% in the LIBOR rate would cause an increase in interest expense of up to $14.2 million over the remaining term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which expires in 2018.

We assess the significance of interest rate market risk on a periodic basis and may implement strategies to manage such risk as we deem appropriate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (“Disclosure Controls”). Based upon the Disclosure Controls evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Disclosure Controls were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

33

(b) Changes in internal controls

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (“Internal Control”) to determine whether any changes in Internal Control occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect Internal Control. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

(c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

On June 15, 2015, a putative stockholder class action derivative complaint was filed in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, captioned In re The Providence Service Corporation Derivative Litigation, Case No. 11149.  The complaint names Richard A. Kerley, Kristi L. Meints, Warren S. Rustand, Christopher Shackelton (the “Individual Defendants”) and Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum”) as defendants, and the Company as a nominal defendant.  The complaint states direct claims alleging that the dividend rate increase term in the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock is an impermissibly coercive measure that impairs the voting rights of the Company’s stockholders on the removal of certain voting and conversion caps (“Caps”) currently applicable to the preferred stock, and that Individual Defendants have breached their fiduciary duties by approving the dividend rate increase term and attempting to coerce the stockholder vote relating to the Company’s preferred stock, and by failing to disclose all material information necessary to allow the Company’s stockholders to cast an informed vote on the Caps. The complaint states derivative claims alleging that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by entering into the subordinated note and standby agreement with Coliseum, and granting Coliseum certain stock options.  The complaint further alleges that Coliseum has aided and abetted the Individual Defendants in breaching their fiduciary duties and that demand on the Board is excused as futile.  The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the stockholder vote relating to the dividend rate increase, a finding that the Individual Defendants are liable for breaching their fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company’s stockholders, a finding that Coliseum is liable for aiding and abetting the Individual Defendant’s breaches of their fiduciary duties, a finding that Coliseum is liable for unjust enrichment, a finding that demand on the Board is excused as futile, a revision or rescission of the terms of the Subordinated Note and preferred stock as necessary and/or appropriate, a requirement for the Company to reform its corporate governance profile to protect against future misconduct similar to that alleged by the putative stockholder class, a certification of the putative stockholder class, costs and disbursements (including expenses, attorneys’ and experts’ fees), and any other and further relief as is just and equitable. On June 26, 2015, the Court entered a schedule governing expedited proceedings as agreed to by counsel for the parties. A hearing on plaintiff’s motion to enjoin the stockholder vote is scheduled for September 10, 2015. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ allegations lack merit and will vigorously contest them.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure [Text Block]

3. Equity Investment

The Company entered into a joint venture agreement in November 2014 to form Mission Providence Pty Ltd (“Mission Providence”). As of July 2015, Mission Providence delivers employment services in various regions in Australia. The Company has a 60% ownership in Mission Providence, and has rights to 75% of Mission Providence’s distributions of cash or profit surplus twice per calendar year. The Company provided and will continue to provide capital contributions to Mission Providence in exchange for its equity interests.

The Company determined it has a variable interest in Mission Providence. However, it does not have unilateral power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Mission Providence’s economic performance, which include budget approval, business planning, the appointment of key officers and liquidation and distribution of share capital, and, as a result, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Mission Providence. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting and the Company’s share of Mission Providence’s losses are recorded as “Loss on equity investment” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and the maximum loss exposure related to the Company’s interest in Mission Providence at June 30, 2015:

Assets		Liabilities
Other Assets		Accrued Expenses		Maximum Exposure to Loss
$	19,573	$	9,328	$	19,573

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Company will be required to make future financial contributions, these future expected contributions are included in “Other Assets” and “Accrued Expenses” in the table above.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

1. Basis of Presentation, Description of Business and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) include the accounts of The Providence Service Corporation (“Providence,” “the Company,” “our,” “we” and “us”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Investments in non-consolidated entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control are accounted for under the equity method.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. In order to conform to the current year presentation, prior year amounts have been reclassified to show service revenue as one line item, service expense as one line item, and loss on foreign currency translation as a component of other expenses. Additionally, the Company’s legacy workforce development businesses have been reclassified from the Human Services segment to the Workforce Development Services segment.

The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and certain disclosures to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Description of Business

The Company provides and manages health and human services through non-emergency transportation, community and behavioral health, workforce development and health assessment offerings. The Company operates in four segments, Non-Emergency Transportation Services (“NET Services”), Human Services, Workforce Development Services (“WD Services”) and Health Assessment Services (“HA Services”). The NET Services segment manages transportation networks and arranges for client transportation to health care related facilities and services for state or regional Medicaid agencies, managed care organizations (“MCOs”) and commercial insurers. In the Human Services segment, counselors, social workers and behavioral health professionals work with clients, primarily in the client’s home or community, who are eligible for government assistance due to income level, disabilities or court order. The WD Services segment provides outsourced employability and legal offender rehabilitation case management services, primarily to the eligible participants in government sponsored programs. The HA Services segment primarily provides comprehensive health assessments (“CHAs”), for members enrolled in Medicare Advantage (“MA”) health plans, in patient’s homes or nursing facilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: 

● Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

● Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

● Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

● Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

● Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 Publicly held entities must apply the new revenue standard to interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (“ASU 2014-16”). This update requires an entity to determine the nature of the host contract by considering the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share, including the embedded derivative feature that is being evaluated for separate accounting from the host contract when evaluating whether the host contract is more akin to debt or equity. In evaluating the stated and implied substantive terms and features, the existence or omission of any single term or feature does not necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Although an individual term or feature may weigh more heavily in the evaluation on the basis of facts and circumstances, an entity should use judgment based on an evaluation of all the relevant terms and features. ASU 2014-16 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-16 effective January 1, 2015 and applied the literature to determine the accounting for its convertible preferred stock issued in 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 did not impact the Company's existing financial instruments.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This ASU will impact the Company’s financial statements, as the Company has approximately $4,485 of debt issuance costs at June 30, 2015 that are classified as “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The result of the application of this guidance would be to reduce the “Other assets” balance, with a corresponding reduction to “Long-term obligations, less current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

On June 15, 2015, a putative stockholder class action derivative complaint was filed in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, captioned In re The Providence Service Corporation Derivative Litigation, Case No. 11149.  The complaint names Richard A. Kerley, Kristi L. Meints, Warren S. Rustand, Christopher Shackelton (the “Individual Defendants”) and Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (“Coliseum LLC”) as defendants, and the Company as a nominal defendant.  The complaint states direct claims alleging that the dividend rate increase term in the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock is an impermissibly coercive measure that impairs the voting rights of the Company’s stockholders on the removal of certain voting and conversion caps (“Caps”) currently applicable to the preferred stock, and that Individual Defendants have breached their fiduciary duties by approving the dividend rate increase term and attempting to coerce the stockholder vote relating to the Company’s preferred stock, and by failing to disclose all material information necessary to allow the Company’s stockholders to cast an informed vote on the Caps. The complaint states derivative claims alleging that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by entering into the subordinated note and standby agreement with Coliseum LLC, and granting Coliseum LLC certain stock options.  The complaint further alleges that Coliseum LLC has aided and abetted the Individual Defendants in breaching their fiduciary duties and that demand on the Board is excused as futile.  The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the stockholder vote relating to the dividend rate increase, a finding that the Individual Defendants are liable for breaching their fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company’s stockholders, a finding that Coliseum LLC is liable for aiding and abetting the Individual Defendant’s breaches of their fiduciary duties, a finding that Coliseum LLC is liable for unjust enrichment, a finding that demand on the Board is excused as futile, a revision or rescission of the terms of the Subordinated Note and preferred stock as necessary and/or appropriate, a requirement for the Company to reform its corporate governance profile to protect against future misconduct similar to that alleged by the putative stockholder class, a certification of the putative stockholder class, costs and disbursements (including expenses, attorneys’ and experts’ fees), and any other and further relief as is just and equitable.  On June 26, 2015, the Court entered a schedule governing expedited proceedings as agreed to by counsel for the parties. A hearing on plaintiff’s motion to enjoin the stockholder vote is scheduled for September 10, 2015. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ allegations lack merit and will vigorously contest them. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities related to this matter as the probability and range of a settlement cannot be determined.

The Company is involved in other various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, many of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

The Company has two deferred compensation plans for management and highly compensated employees. These deferred compensation plans are unfunded; therefore, benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company. The total of participant deferrals, which is reflected in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $1,461 and $1,432 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

12. Transactions with Related Parties

On October 23, 2014, the Company issued to Coliseum, a related party, a 14.0% Unsecured Subordinated Note in aggregate principal amount of $65,500. Interest from the issuance date to, but excluding, the 120th day after the issuance date, was paid in cash in the amount of $3,015 on the issuance of the Note. Coliseum held approximately 15% of our outstanding common stock as of October 23, 2014 and is the Company’s largest shareholder. Additionally, Christopher Shackelton, who serves as the Company’s Chairman of the board of directors and since June 1, 2015 has served as interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is also a Managing Partner at Coliseum Capital Management, LLC.

The Note was repaid in full on February 11, 2015, with the proceeds from a registered Rights Offering and related standby purchase commitment described above, which allowed all of the Company’s existing common stockholders the non-transferrable right to purchase their pro rata share of $65,500 of convertible preferred stock at a price of $100 per share, as further described above.

In connection with the anticipated Rights Offering, on October 23, 2014, the Company entered the Standby Purchase Agreement with the Standby Purchasers, pursuant to which the Standby Purchasers agreed to purchase, substantially simultaneously with the completion of the Rights Offering, in the aggregate, all of the available preferred stock not otherwise sold in the Rights Offering following the exercise of the subscription privileges of holders of the Company’s common stock. As consideration for entering into the Standby Purchase Agreement, on October 23, 2014, the Company paid the Standby Purchasers a fee of $2,947, which is included in “Convertible Preferred Stock, Net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2015. In addition the Standby Purchasers had the right, exercisable within 30 days following the completion of the Rights Offering, to purchase additional preferred stock valued at $15,000 at a price per share of $105 which was exercised on March 12, 2015. Preferred stock dividends earned by Coliseum during the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $1,616.

The Company completed a Rights Offering, on February 5, 2015, providing all of the Company’s existing common stock holders the non-transferrable right to purchase their pro rata share of $65,500 of convertible preferred stock at a price equal to $100 per share. The convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of Providence’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $39.88 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 22, 2014.

Stockholders exercised subscription rights to purchase 130,884 shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”) between Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P., Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P., Coliseum Capital Co-Invest, L.P. and Blackwell Partners, LLC (collectively, the "Standby Purchasers") and the Company, the remaining 524,116 shares of the Company's preferred stock were purchased by the Standby Purchasers at the $100 per share subscription price. The Company received $65,500 in aggregate gross proceeds from the consummation of the Rights Offering and Standby Purchase Agreement. Additionally, on March 12, 2015, the Standby Purchasers exercised their right to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, at a purchase price of $105 per share, of the same series and having the same conversion price as the convertible preferred stock sold in the Rights Offering.

The Company may pay a noncumulative cash dividend on each share of convertible preferred stock, when, as and if declared by its board of directors, at the rate of five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum on the liquidation preference then in effect. On or before the third business day immediately preceding each fiscal quarter, the Company must determine its intention whether or not to pay a cash dividend with respect to that ensuing quarter and will give notice of its intention to each holder of convertible preferred stock as soon as practicable thereafter.

In the event the Company does not declare and pay a cash dividend, the Company will pay paid in kind (“PIK”) dividends by increasing the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock to an amount equal to the liquidation preference in effect at the start of the applicable dividend period, plus an amount equal to such then applicable liquidation preference multiplied by eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed from the start of the applicable dividend period to the applicable date of determination.

Cash dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2015, and, if declared, will begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. PIK dividends, if applicable, will accrue and be cumulative on the same schedule as set forth above for cash dividends and will also be compounded at the applicable annual rate on each applicable subsequent dividend date. Cash dividends totaling $594 and $1,104 were paid to preferred stockholders on April 1, 2015 and July 1, 2015, respectively.

The convertible preferred stock is accounted for as mezzanine equity as it could be redeemed upon certain change in control events that are not solely in the control of the Company. Dividends are recorded in stockholders equity and consist of the 5.5%/8.5% dividend.

Convertible preferred stock, net at June 30, 2015 consisted of the following:

Original issue price of convertible preferred stock	$	81,250
Less: Issuance costs		(3,531	)
Total convertible preferred stock, net	$	77,719

For both periods, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0%, due primarily to state income taxes as well as non-deductible expenses. Non-deductible expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included the loss on equity investment.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “consolidated financial statements”) include the accounts of The Providence Service Corporation (“Providence,” “the Company,” “our,” “we” and “us”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Investments in non-consolidated entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control are accounted for under the equity method.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. In order to conform to the current year presentation, prior year amounts have been reclassified to show service revenue as one line item, service expense as one line item, and loss on foreign currency translation as a component of other expenses. Additionally, the Company’s legacy workforce development businesses have been reclassified from the Human Services segment to the Workforce Development Services segment.

The Company has made estimates relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and certain disclosures to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: 

● Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

● Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

● Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

● Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

● Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 Publicly held entities must apply the new revenue standard to interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (“ASU 2014-16”). This update requires an entity to determine the nature of the host contract by considering the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share, including the embedded derivative feature that is being evaluated for separate accounting from the host contract when evaluating whether the host contract is more akin to debt or equity. In evaluating the stated and implied substantive terms and features, the existence or omission of any single term or feature does not necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Although an individual term or feature may weigh more heavily in the evaluation on the basis of facts and circumstances, an entity should use judgment based on an evaluation of all the relevant terms and features. ASU 2014-16 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-16 effective January 1, 2015 and applied the literature to determine the accounting for its convertible preferred stock issued in 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 did not impact the Company's existing financial instruments.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This ASU will impact the Company’s financial statements, as the Company has approximately $4,485 of debt issuance costs at June 30, 2015 that are classified as “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The result of the application of this guidance would be to reduce the “Other assets” balance, with a corresponding reduction to “Long-term obligations, less current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company may be required to pay additional consideration under certain acquisition agreements based on the achievement of certain earnings targets by the acquired businesses. Acquisition-related contingent consideration is initially measured and recorded at fair value as an element of consideration paid in connection with an acquisition with subsequent adjustments recognized in other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company determines the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration, and any subsequent changes in fair value using a discounted probability-weighted approach. This approach takes into consideration Level 3 unobservable inputs including probability assessments of expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled and applies a discount factor that captures the uncertainties associated with the obligation. Changes in these unobservable inputs could significantly impact the fair value of the obligation recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration was $2,611 at June 30, 2015, which is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration was $10,549 at December 31, 2014, of which $7,767 was included in “Accrued expenses” and $2,782 was included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in the contingent consideration since December 31, 2014 is attributable to payments totaling $7,496 made in the first quarter of 2015 and changes in the foreign currency translation rate.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

14. Business Segments

The Company’s operations are organized and reviewed by management along its service lines. The Company operates in four segments, NET Services, Human Services, WD Services and HA Services. NET Services includes managing the delivery of non-emergency transportation services. Human Services includes government sponsored home and community based counseling, foster care and not-for-profit management services. WD Services includes workforce development, case management and outsourced employability programs. HA Services provides CHAs for MA health plans in enrolled members’ homes or nursing facilities.

Historically, the Company reported its segment activities under a full absorption method, where all corporate direct and indirect costs were allocated to the reporting segments. The Company began analyzing the results of the segments exclusive of the allocation of indirect corporate costs on January 1, 2015. Corporate costs that represent a direct expense of a segment continue to be allocated to the respective segment. The segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 have been recast to reflect management’s current internal method of segment reporting. The Corporate and Other column includes certain general and administrative costs that are not directly attributable to a specific segment, such as executive, accounting, technology, legal and other costs, as well as consolidation and elimination amounts and the activities of the Company’s wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2015, oversight of the Company’s legacy workforce development businesses (those that existed prior to the acquisition of Ingeus) was transferred to the management of the WD Services segment. The financial results of these legacy workforce development businesses have been reclassified from the Human Services segment to the WD Services segment in the table below.

The following table sets forth certain financial information attributable to the Company’s business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
