Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, includes or may include “forward-looking statements.” All statements included herein, other than statements of historical fact, may constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should” or “could.” Generally, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” “plans” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Although CRC Health Corporation (“CRC”) believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following factors: changes in government reimbursement for CRC’s services; reductions in the availability of governmental and private financial aid for CRC’s youth treatment programs; CRC’s substantial indebtedness; changes in applicable regulations or a government investigation or assertion that CRC has violated applicable regulations; attempts by local residents to force the closure or relocation of CRC’s facilities; the potentially difficult, unsuccessful or costly integration of acquired operations and future acquisitions; the potentially difficult, unsuccessful or costly opening and operating of new treatment programs; the possibility that commercial payors for CRC’s services may undertake future cost containment initiatives; the limited number of national suppliers of methadone used in CRC’s outpatient treatment clinics; the failure to maintain established relationships or cultivate new relationships with patient referral sources; shortages in qualified healthcare workers; natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods; competition that limits CRC’s ability to grow; the potentially costly implementation of new information systems to comply with federal and state initiatives relating to patient privacy, security of medical information and electronic transactions; the potentially costly implementation of accounting and other management systems and resources in response to financial reporting and other requirements; the loss of key members of CRC’s management; claims asserted against CRC or lack of adequate available insurance; and certain restrictive covenants in CRC’s debt documents and other risks that are described herein, including but not limited to the items discussed in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed on March 27, 2009, and that are otherwise described from time to time in CRC’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings after this Quarterly Report. CRC assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

CRC HEALTH CORPORATION
 
 
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

CRC Health Corporation (“the Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of CRC Health Group, Inc., referred to as “the Group” or “the Parent.” The Company is headquartered in Cupertino, California and through its wholly owned subsidiaries provides substance abuse treatment services and youth treatment services in the United States. The Company also provides treatment services for other addiction diseases and behavioral disorders such as eating disorders.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of CRC Health Corporation, as of March 31, 2009,  and December 31, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity at March 31, 2009, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, without audit. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The unaudited balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from our audited financial statements.
 
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, its results of operations, and its cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated income statements and unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets have been presented to include the effects of discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 16.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation—The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRC Health Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates—Preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
Noncontrolling Interest—The Company through the acquisition of Aspen acquired a 75% interest in certain weight loss programs. Additionally, a former employee maintains a 10% interest in one adolescent treatment program, within the Company's healthy living division, as a result of a prior agreement in place from the Aspen acquisition. The Company consolidates its investment for financial reporting purposes.
 
Business Segments—Effective January 1, 2009, the Company realigned its operations and internal organizational structure by combining its "youth division" with its "healthy living division",  formerly included as a component of "corporate/other."  Performance of the Company’s two reportable segments (recovery division and healthy living division) is evaluated based on profit or loss from operations (“segment profit”). Management uses segment profit information for internal reporting and control purposes and considers it important in making decisions regarding the allocation of capital and other resources, risk assessment and employee compensation, among other matters. Intersegment sales and transfers are insignificant. 
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations  (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) and was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, there was no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting SFAS 141(R).
 
The Company has adopted FASB Staff Position 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP 157-2"), issued February 2008. FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009. The provisions of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities were applied as of January 1, 2009.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners inclusive of requiring retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing noncontrolling interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS 160 effective January 1, 2009.
 
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS 161 effective January 1, 2009.

Intangible assets subject to amortization
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company continued its restructuring activities initiated in 2008 (the "FY08 Plan").  For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company determined that certain intangible assets subject to amortization within its healthy living division were impaired. Under the provisions of SFAS 144, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $1.0 million which is included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations under results from discontinued operations. These impairment charges are based on the Company's decision to close one of its healthy living outdoor program facilities and reduce the carrying value of certain of its intangible assets subject to amortization to their estimated fair value.
 
Intangible assets not subject to amortization
 
Additionally,  pursuant to the FY08 Plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company determined that certain of its intangible assets not subject to amortization were impaired due to the Company's decision to close one of its healthy living division program facilities classified as discontinued operations.  Subsequently, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Charges related to impairment of intangible assets for discontinued operations are included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations under results of discontinued operations.
 
Total amortization expense of intangible assets subject to amortization was $1.8 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

INCOME TAXES
 
The Company determines its income tax expense for interim periods by applying the full year’s estimated effective tax rate in its financial statements for interim periods.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company's tax benefit on continuing operations is $2.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 90.6%. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% because of a discrete item and state income taxes. The discrete item of $1.1 million is due to a significant California tax law change. As a result of the enacted legislation, the Company expects that in years 2011 and beyond its income subject to tax in California will be less than under prior tax law because the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences will be valued at a lower apportionment in California.  The Company therefore, recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $1.1 million related to a decrease in deferred tax liability that existed as of December 31, 2008.  The Company will continue to assess the value of reversal items on its California deferred tax liability in future periods.

The continuing operations income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.0 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 45.5%, there were no discrete items for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

The Company files its income tax returns in various jurisdictions, including United State federal and state filings and United Kingdom filings. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2006 tax year, as well as by various state jurisdictions. There are different interpretations of tax laws and regulations and, as a result, significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions. While the Company believes its positions comply with applicable laws, it periodically evaluates its exposures associated with its tax filing positions.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
 
Derivatives -Interest Rate Swaps
 
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage risk related to fluctuations in interest rates and does not engage in speculation or trading activities with its interest rate swaps.
 
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ending March 31, 2009, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.  The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
 
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had two outstanding interest rate derivatives with a combined $250.0 million notional amounts that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. One of the derivatives (the "2006 Swap") with a maturity date of March 31, 2011, converts $50.0 million of its floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 4.99%. For the second derivative (the "2008 Swap") with a maturity date of July 1, 2011,  the Company receives an  interest rate equal to 3-month LIBOR and in exchange pays a fixed rate of 3.875% on the $200.0 million notional amount.
 
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $5.6 million of the effective portion of its derivatives will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with one of its derivative counterparties that contains a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. 
 
As of March 31, 2009, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk ("credit valuation adjustments") related to these agreements was $13.2 million. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2009, it may be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $13.2 million. At March 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all agreements related to its debt and derivatives.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
   
The Company adopted the financial asset and financial liability provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. As defined in SFAS 157, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy, under the provisions of SFAS 157, also requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. An asset or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
   
Level 2:
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable;
   
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.
 
     
Financial Assets and Liabilities
 
The Company values its interest rate swaps using terminal values which are derived using proprietary models based upon well recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. These instruments are allocated to Level 2 on the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy because the critical inputs into these models, including the relevant yield curves and the known contractual terms of the instrument, are readily available. The valuation models utilized by the Company incorporate variables
 
 
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
    
The Company measures its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at fair value for impairment assessment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142").  Nonfinancial long-lived assets are measured at fair value for impairment assessment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 144, Accounting for the impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). The Company conducts its testing under SFAS 142 on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or earlier, should there be indicators of impairment or triggering events in accordance with the standards. Nonfinancial liabilities for exit or disposal activities are measured at fair value in accordance with  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting  for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS 146").

The following table presents the non-financial assets that were measured and recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $1.4 million related to the impairment of certain intangible assets. The carrying value of the assets prior to the impairment was approximately $1.4 million. As of March 31, 2009, the estimated fair value of the assets was zero and was determined based on level 3 inputs.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Indemnifications—The Company provides for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, bylaws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance which should enable the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid should they occur.
 
In addition to the above, from time to time the Company provides standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with business dispositions and acquisitions and also provides indemnities that protect the counterparties to these contracts in the event they suffer damages as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or in certain other circumstances relating to such sales or acquisitions.
 
While the Company’s future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved.
 
Litigation—The Company is involved in litigation and regulatory investigations arising in the course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management estimates that these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position or results from operations and cash flows.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
In connection with the Bain Merger, the Company and its security holders entered into a stockholders agreement. The stockholders agreement contains agreements among the parties with respect to the election of the Company’s directors and the directors of the Parent, restrictions on the issuance or transfer of shares, including tag-along rights and drag-along rights, other special corporate governance provisions (including the right to approve various corporate actions), registration rights (including customary indemnification provisions) and call options. Three of the Company’s five directors are employees of Bain Capital, the Company’s principal shareholder.
 
Upon the consummation of the Bain Merger, the Company entered into a management agreement with an affiliate of Bain Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to which such entity or its affiliates will provide management services.  The management agreement has a five year, evergreen term, however, in certain circumstances, such as an initial public offering or change of control of the Group, the Company may terminate the management agreement and buy out its remaining obligations under the agreement to Bain Capital Partners, LLC and affiliates. In addition, the management agreement provides that an affiliate of Bain Capital Partners, LLC may receive fees in connection with certain subsequent financing and acquisition transactions. The management agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of Bain Capital Partners, LLC and its affiliates. The Company under this agreement paid management fees of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 which are included in supplies, facilities and other operating costs in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
 
Two Directors receive compensation for their services to the Company as consultants.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $177.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 10.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (“the Notes”) outstanding. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries.
 
Subsequent to the issuance of  financial statements as of March 31, 2008, management determined that allocations including intercompany management fee revenue should be allocated to the Parent.  As a result, the March 31, 2008 condensed consolidating statement of operations and condensed consolidating statement of cash flows have been restated from amounts previously reported to properly reflect allocations. There is no effect to the consolidated financial statements as the allocations are eliminated in consolidation.
 
The following supplemental tables present condensed consolidating balance sheets for the Company and its subsidiary guarantors as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

RESTRUCTURING

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company continued its restructuring under the FY08 Plan. Actions under the FY08 Plan are focused on those facilities which have been negatively impacted by the economic crisis and the depressed credit market and include facility consolidations and exits as well as certain workforce reductions. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company closed one program facility within its healthy living division and eliminated employee positions across all divisions.
 
Facility exit actions include the closure, sale, or disposal of certain facilities across all divisions and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2009.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company realigned its operations and internal organizational structure by combining its "youth division" with its "healthy living division." The healthy living division was previously included as a component of "corporate/other."  There were no organizational changes to the Company's recovery division.
 
In accordance with the criteria of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131"),  the Company has two identified operating segments under the new organizational structure: recovery division and healthy living division. For segment reporting purposes, the Company has identified two reportable segments in accordance with its new organizational structure: recovery and healthy living.   All periods presented have been restated to give effect to the change in reportable segments.
 
Reportable segments are based upon the Company’s internal organizational structure, the manner in which operations are managed and on the level at which the Company’s chief operating decision-maker allocates resources. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The financial information used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker includes net revenue, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, total assets and capital expenditures.
 
The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
 
Recovery—The recovery reportable segment specializes in the treatment of chemical dependency and other behavioral health disorders both on an inpatient residential basis and on an outpatient basis. Services offered in this segment include: comprehensive treatment centers ("CTC"), inpatient/residential care, partial/day treatment, intensive outpatient groups, therapeutic living/half-way house environments, aftercare centers and detoxification. As of March  31, 2009, the recovery segment provided substance abuse and behavioral health services to patients at 103 facilities located in twenty-two states.
 
Healthy Living—The healthy living segment includes programs and treatment services for adolescent youth as well as treatment services for eating disorders and weight management serving all age groups. Adolescent and youth treatment services include therapeutic and educational programs for children and adolescents struggling with academic, emotional, and behavioral issues.
 
As of March 31, 2009, the healthy living segment operated twenty-seven youth educational facilities in ten states and its offerings include adolescent therapeutic boarding schools and youth experiential outdoor education programs and summer camps. As of March 31, 2009, the healthy living segment also operated eighteen facilities in eight states and one facility in the United Kingdom which provided eating disorder treatment services, obesity treatment services, and weight loss programs.
 
Major Customers—No single customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s total net revenue in any period presented.
 
Geographic Information—The Company’s business operations are primarily in the United States.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
 
Unless the context otherwise requires, in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the terms “our company,” “we,” “us,” “the Company” and “our” refer to CRC Health Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
 
We are a leading provider of substance abuse treatment services and youth treatment services in the United States. We also provide treatment services for other addiction diseases and behavioral disorders such as eating disorders. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company realigned its operations and internal organizational structure by combining its "youth division" with its "healthy living division",  formerly included as a component of "corporate/other."  There were no organizational changes to the Company's recovery division.
 
We deliver our services through our two divisions, the recovery division and the healthy living division. Our recovery division provides our substance abuse and behavioral disorder treatment services through our residential treatment facilities and outpatient treatment clinics. Our healthy living division provides education to underachieving young people through residential schools and wilderness programs. Our healthy living division also provides treatment services through adolescent and adult weight management programs as well as eating disorder facilities.
 
We have two operating segments: recovery division and healthy living division. As of March 31, 2009, our recovery division, which operates 29 inpatient and 74 outpatient facilities in 22 states, provides treatment services to patients suffering from chronic addiction related diseases and related behavioral disorders. As of March 31, 2009, our recovery division treated approximately 28,000 patients per day. As of March 31, 2009, our healthy living division, which operates 27 youth programs in 10 states, provides a wide variety of therapeutic and educational programs for underachieving young people. Our healthy living division also operates eighteen facilities in eight states and one facility in the United Kingdom with a focus on providing treatment services for eating disorders and weight management. Other activities classified as corporate represent revenue and expenses associated with eGetgoing, an online internet treatment option, and general and administrative expenses (i.e., expenses associated with our corporate offices in Cupertino, California, which provides management, financial, human resource and information system support) and stock option-based compensation expense that are not allocated to the segments.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
    CRC Health Corporation (“the Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of CRC Health Group, Inc., referred to as “the Group” or “the Parent.” The Company is headquartered in Cupertino, California and through its wholly owned subsidiaries provides substance abuse treatment services and youth treatment services in the United States. The Company also provides treatment services for other addiction diseases and behavioral disorders such as eating disorders.
 
    The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of CRC Health Corporation, as of March 31, 2009,  and December 31, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, without audit. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the unaudited balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 have been derived from audited balance sheets for the respective period.
 
    In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, its results of operations, and its cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The unaudited condensed consolidated income statements and unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets have been presented to include the effects of discontinued operations for all periods presented.
 
      The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRC Health Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 
We generate revenue by providing substance abuse treatment services and youth treatment services in the United States. We also generate revenue by providing treatment services for other specialized behavioral disorders such as eating disorders. Revenue is recognized when rehabilitation and treatment services are provided to a patient. Client service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from clients, third-party payors and others for services rendered. Revenue under third-party payor agreements is subject to audit and retroactive adjustment. Provisions for estimated third-party payor settlements are provided for in the period the related services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Revenue for educational services provided to youth consists primarily of tuition, enrollment fees, alumni services and ancillary charges. Tuition revenue and ancillary charges are recognized based on contracted monthly/daily rates as services are rendered. The enrollment fees for service contracts that are charged upfront are deferred and recognized over the average student length of stay, approximately ten months. Alumni fees revenue represents non-refundable upfront fees for post graduation services and these fees are deferred and recognized systematically over the contracted life. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we generated 81.3% and 84.4% of our net revenue from non-governmental sources, including 65.1% and 69.1% from self payors, respectively, and 16.3% and 15.3% from commercial payors, respectively. Substantially all of our government program net revenue was received from multiple counties and states under Medicaid and similar programs.
 
22

 
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our consolidated same-facility net revenue decreased by $9.1 million or 8.0% when compared to the comparable period in 2008.  “Same facility” means a comparison over the comparable period of the financial performance of a facility we have operated for at least one year.
 
Our operating expenses include salaries and benefits, supplies, facilities and other operating costs, provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization and acquisition related costs. Operating expenses for our recovery and healthy living divisions exclude corporate level general and administrative costs (i.e., expenses associated with our corporate offices in Cupertino, California, which provide management, financial, human resources and information systems support), stock-based compensation expense and expenses associated with eGetgoing.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
General
 
The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue and expenses. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our senior management has reviewed our critical accounting policies and their application in the preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures and discussed the development, selection and disclosure of significant estimates. To the extent that actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected. We believe that there have not been any significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2009 to the items that we have previously reported in our critical accounting policies in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008. See Note 1 and Note 2.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2008
 
Consolidated net revenue decreased $8.1 million, or 7.1%, to $105.9 million in 2009 from $114.0 million in 2008. Of the total net revenue decrease, the recovery division contributed a decrease of $1.0 million, representing 1.3% negative growth for the division, with the remaining net revenue decrease driven by a decrease of $7.0 million, or 18.6% in the healthy living division. The $7.0 million decrease was driven by revenue decreases of $3.0 million each in adolescent outdoor programs and adolescent therapeutic boarding schools. The remaining $1.0 million decrease  resulted from revenue decreases of $0.4 million in weight management and $0.6 million in eating disorders. Of the $1.0 million net decrease in recovery division revenue, $2.9 million or 5.7% is attributed to decreases within our private pay facilities at  residential treatment centers offset by $1.9 million or 7.7%, in revenue growth from comprehensive treatment centers ("CTC"). Revenue decreases in the healthy living division are primarily attributable to lower revenue performance across the division due to a lessening of demand as a result of the weak economy and the inability of families and individuals to access the credit markets and student loan markets to fund the tuition. Recovery division same facility revenue decreased $2.0 million or 2.7% primarily due to a $3.9 million revenue decrease in residential treatment centers partially offset by a $1.9 million revenue increase in CTCs. Our healthy living division same facility net revenue decreased $7.1 million, or 18.8%, due primarily from the impact of the aforementioned economic conditions. Of the $7.1 million decrease of same facility net revenue within our healthy living division, $1.1 million or 2.9% was attributable to $0.7 million and $0.4 million decreases in eating disorder and weight management revenues, respectively. The remaining $6.0 million or 15.9% decrease in healthy living division revenue were due to revenue decreases of $3.0 million each in our adolescent residential boarding schools and adolescent outdoor programs. Corporate division revenue was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Consolidated operating expenses decreased $3.6 million, or 3.6%, to $96.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $99.9 million in the same period of 2008. Recovery division operating expenses decreased $0.6 million year over year. Of the $3.6 million decrease in operating expenses, the healthy living division incurred a decrease of $4.3 million, or 11.3% primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in supplies, facilities, and other operating costs as well as by a decrease of $2.9 million in salaries and benefits. Corporate division operating expenses increased $1.3 million or $18.5% year over year reflecting a $0.4 million increase in depreciation expense as well as an increase of $0.9 million in salaries primarily due to facility consolidations resulting from restructuring activities. For our recovery division, same facility operating expenses decreased $2.2 million or 4.3% primarily driven by decreases of $1.2 million in salaries and benefits with CTC and residential treatment centers each contributing decreases of $0.6 million. The remaining $1.0 million decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $0.9 million in supplies, facilities, and other costs within residential treatment centers. Healthy living division same facility operating expenses decreased $4.1 million or 12.4%. Of the $4.1 million decrease, $2.6 million was due to decreases in salaries and benefits with decreases of $1.0 million in adolescent residential boarding schools, $1.3 million in adolescent outdoor programs, and weight management contributing to the remaining $0.3 million decrease in same facility division salaries and benefits. The remaining $1.5 million decrease in healthy living division, same facility operating expenses was due to decreased expenditures within supplies, facilities and other costs of $0.6 million in adolescent outdoor programs, $0.7 million in adolescent residential boarding schools, and $0.4 million in eating disorder and weight management offset by a $0.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Our consolidated operating margin was 9.1% in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to 12.3% in the comparable period of 2008. On a same facility basis, our consolidated operating margin decreased to 27.0% in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to 27.3% in the same quarter of 2008. Recovery division same facility operating margin increased to 36.0% in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to 34.8% in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Healthy living division same facility operating margin decreased to 5.3% in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to 12.1% in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The significant decrease in our healthy living division operating margin is primarily due to lower client census resulting from the current weak economic environment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, consolidated net loss from continuing operations decreased by approximately $0.9 million year over year resulting in a loss of $0.2 million compared to a loss of $1.1 million in the same period of 2008. The decrease in loss from continuing operations in 2009 is primarily attributable to decreased expenses in salaries and benefits as well as in supplies, facilities, and other costs resulting from our implementation of our restructuring activities. Additionally, flat growth in our recovery division as well decreased revenue in our healthy living division contributed to the net loss in continuing operations.

Working Capital
 
Working capital is defined as total current assets, including cash and cash equivalents, less total current liabilities, including the current portion of long-term debt.
 
We had negative working capital of $8.5 million at March 31, 2009, compared to negative working capital of $14.5 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in working capital from March 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 is attributed to an increase in accounts receivables of $1.3 million, a decrease of $2.9 million in other current liabilities, a decrease of $1.2 million in accrued liabilities, a decrease of $1.2 million in income tax payable and an increase of $0.8 income tax receivable offset by slight net increase in other liabilities.

    (2,454 )     11,388  
Net decrease in cash
  $ (2,010 )   $ (2,494 )
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to cash used in operating activities of $6.0 million during the same period in 2008.
 
Cash used in investing activities was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $7.8 million in the same period of 2008.  The decrease in cash used in investing activities primarily relates to a decrease in the additions of property and equipment and in acquisitions.
 
Cash used in financing activities was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $11.4 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to a net decrease in borrowing under the revolving line of credit.  
 
Financing and Liquidity
 
We intend to fund our ongoing operations through cash generated by operations, funds available under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility and existing cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2009, our senior secured credit facility was comprised of a $408.8 million senior secured term loan facility and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2009, the revolving credit facility had $30.4 million available for borrowing, $61.5 million outstanding and classified on our balance sheet as long term debt, and $8.1 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. As part of the acquisition of the Company by investment funds managed by Bain Capital Partners, LLC, we issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior subordinated notes due 2016 of which $177.3 million remained outstanding at March 31, 2009. We anticipate that cash generated by operations, the remaining funds available under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility and existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, service our debt and finance capital expenditures over the next 12 months.
 
In addition, we may expand existing recovery and youth treatment facilities and build or acquire new facilities. Management continually assesses our capital needs and may seek additional financing, including debt or equity, to fund potential acquisitions or for other corporate purposes. We had historically made and currently intend to make payments to reduce borrowing under the revolving line of credit from operating cash flow. In addition, if future financings are executed, we expect that such financings will serve not only to partially fund acquisitions but also to repay all or part of any outstanding revolving line of credit balances then outstanding. In negotiating such financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on terms satisfactory to us. Failure to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms could have a negative effect on our plans to acquire additional treatment facilities.
 
Under the terms of our borrowing arrangements, we are required to comply with various covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. As of March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all such covenants. A breach of these could result in a default under our credit facilities and in our being unable to borrow additional amounts under our revolving credit facility. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed under our credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and the lenders under our term loans and revolving credit facility could proceed against the collateral securing the indebtedness.
 
25

Effective April 16, 2007, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit agreement dated November 17, 2006. Per the agreement, the term loan interest is payable quarterly at 90 day LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum; provided that on and after such time our corporate rating from Moody’s is at least B1 then the interest is payable quarterly at 90 day LIBOR plus 2% per annum.  Our interest rate swaps have effectively fixed the interest rate on a substantial portion of the term loan.  Our existing swaps have fixed $50.0 million of the term loan at 4.990% and $200.0 million of the term loan at 3.875%.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
 
 
Item 4T.
Controls and Procedures
 
 
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
