Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder
Alternative Behavioral Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statement of operations, of changes in stockholder’s equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Alternative Behavioral Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated stockholder’s equity as of January 1, 2005 to reflect the consolidation of an entity merged into the Company in 2005 from an affiliated company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Organization and Description of Business
 
    Alternative Behavioral Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “ABS” or the “Company”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FHC Health Systems, Inc. (“FHC” or the “Parent”). ABS assists children, adolescents, young adults, adults and their families in overcoming behavioral health challenges and leading functional lives by providing group home, independent living, detention, alternative school, in-home, residential treatment, and acute hospitalization patient care services, as well as providing behavioral managed care services to covered beneficiaries in Puerto Rico. FHC Financial Corporation (“FHC Financial”). was a subsidiary of FHC. Effective November 15, 2005, FHC Financial merged into ABS (see Note 13).
 
    Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
 
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006, the related unaudited statement of changes in stockholder’s equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (the “unaudited interim consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and are unaudited. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been included.
 
    The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements appearing herein. The results of the nine months ended September 30, 2006 may not be indicative of consolidated operating results for the full respective year.
 
    Liquidity
 
    The Company and its subsidiaries are guarantors of FHC’s senior credit facilities. As of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, FHC was not in compliance with its financial covenants under its senior credit facilities. The non-compliance was waived by FHC’s lender and the senior credit facilities were amended such that FHC believes it will remain in compliance with the provisions of its lending agreements through December 31, 2006. The ability of FHC to be in compliance with these covenants through December 31, 2006 is dependent on FHC achieving its forecasted operating results for 2006. There can be no assurance that FHC will achieve its forecasted operating results for 2006.
 
    FHC’s plans include the expected sale of the Company with the proceeds to be used to repay approximately $138 million of its indebtedness, or 40% of its total. FHC is currently in discussion with its lenders to permit the sale of ABS and to amend its credit facilities to allow it to remain compliant with the covenants whether ABS is sold or not.
 
    Without these events or other alternative actions that FHC is exploring, including a refinancing or equity investment or further waiver from its lenders, FHC’s forecasts and current restrictive covenants indicate that there is a risk of a potential default. A default would permit the lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt under the senior credit facility agreements and to foreclose upon any collateral securing the debt, including the Company’s assets and stock. Because of the aforementioned conditions, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position.

Alternative Behavioral Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ABS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Estimation Process
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions may change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for patient care is recognized based on contracted rates in effect at the time services are provided. Revenue for managed care services is recognized on a contracted capitation rate basis per member per month over the period beneficiaries are entitled to provider services.
Health Care Services
Operating revenues include estimated amounts reimbursable by Medicare and various state Medicaid programs under the provisions of cost-reimbursement formulas. Amounts received for treatment of patients covered by such programs and certain other payors are generally less than the established billing rates of the Company’s facilities. The difference between established billing rates and amounts received is accounted for as a contractual allowance. Cost-based reimbursements are subject to examination and retroactive adjustment by the agencies administering the programs. Provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for adjustments that may result from such examinations or other changes in management’s estimate of cost-based reimbursement. The Company believes that it has accurately filed cost reports following proper methodology. To the extent that recorded amounts vary from the amount of final settlement, earnings are adjusted in the period in which the final settlement is determined. The Company’s operating revenue was increased by approximately $285,000, decreased by approximately $8,000 and increased by approximately $118,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, as a result of such settlements or changes in estimates.
The Company provides care without charge or at amounts less than established rates to patients who meet the Company’s charity care policy. Such charity care services are not reported as revenue since no payment is anticipated. The Company provided charity care services, measured in terms of established rates, of approximately $244,000, $105,000 and $119,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively.
Managed Care
ABS provides inpatient, outpatient and pharmacy management services under contracts with employer health plans and state governments; and provides Employee Assistance Program services to employers and local municipalities. Managed care at-risk revenue is recognized on a capitated basis per month over the period that beneficiaries are entitled to provider services. Managed care administrative revenue is recognized on a per covered employee or member per month basis over the period that beneficiaries are entitled to provider services.
Managed Care Expenses
Managed care expenses are recognized as operating and administrative expenses as managed care services are provided. ABS contracts with behavioral health providers at a discounted fee—for—service

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
basis or a subcapitated basis for authorized behavioral health care and substance abuse services rendered to covered beneficiaries.
Payable to Providers
ABS compensates providers for authorized behavioral health care and substance abuse services to covered beneficiaries. Provider services expense and the payable to providers are accrued as services are provided. ABS uses a variety of methods to estimate the amount payable to providers including historical payment patterns and communication with significant providers to ascertain the level of care being provided beneficiaries for which a claim has not yet been submitted. Any required revisions to these estimates are reflected in operations of the period in which such revisions are determined.
As ABS enters into new contracts to manage behavioral health services, significant historical claim payment information is not always available in estimating medical expense. In addition, each contract awarded or renewed can vary as to the covered services, contracted rates and member populations. Accordingly, the actual incurred expenses may vary from the estimated amounts included in these financial statements. Although such variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes that the reserve for such expenses is adequate.
Premium Deficiency Reserve
ABS establishes a reserve for the probability that anticipated future health care and maintenance costs under certain contracts exceed anticipated future premiums on those contracts. The estimated future costs include fixed and variable, direct and allocable indirect costs. Management has determined that no premium deficiency reserve is needed as of September 30, 2006 (unaudited) or December 31, 2005.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted Short-term Investments
Restricted short-term investments consist of bank certificates of deposit carried at cost, which approximate fair value with a maturity of six months to one year from the date of purchase. A bank certificate of deposit of approximately $175,000 as of September 30, 2006 (unaudited) and December 31, 2005 is restricted by the provisions of a managed care contract for the payment of claims in Puerto Rico. A bank certificate of deposit of approximately $600,000 as of September 30, 2006 (unaudited) and December 31, 2005 is restricted by a letter of credit obtained to secure a surety bond required under a managed care contract in Puerto Rico.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are comprised of amounts outstanding based on established billing rates less allowances for contractual discounts and doubtful accounts. An allowance for contractual discounts is the difference in the established billing rate and the contracted rate for each specific payor. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from management’s estimates. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established for the uninsured patient accounts or patient accounts for which primary insurance has paid, but the portion owed by the patient remains outstanding. Allowances for doubtful accounts are estimates primarily based upon the age of the accounts. Also, included in the allowance for doubtful accounts are reserves for aging or disputed receivables due from third party payors. The Company continues to

Alternative Behavioral Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
evaluate and monitor the accounts receivable balances to support and when needed, adjusts both contractual and doubtful account allowances.
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
Those affiliates over which the Company has the ability to exert significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. This includes the Company’s investment in NetCare of Virginia, Inc., of which the Company owns twenty-five percent of its common stock.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. In accordance with Statement of Position 98-1 Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the external direct costs incurred in the development of internal-use software as well as the allocated payroll-related costs of employees are capitalized to the extent that they have devoted efforts to the project. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful asset lives are as follows:
         
    Years
Land improvements
    3 to 31  
Buildings and improvements (exclusive of leasehold improvements)
    5 to 40  
Furniture, fixtures and equipment

Leasehold improvements are included in buildings and improvements and are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. Capitalized software is amortized over three years.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires recognition of the impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets were acquired in 2004 and include the estimated fair value of certificates of need, patient referral relationships and noncompete agreements. The patient referral relationships and certificates of need are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the assets of 15 years. The noncompete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
Goodwill
On October 1, 2004, ABS acquired the stock of New Hope Midlands, Inc. and New Hope, Inc. for approximately $6,236,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, ABS recorded goodwill of approximately $3,453,000 on the balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2005, the carrying value of the goodwill was reduced by approximately $2,619,000, representing the deferred tax effect of treating the acquisition as an asset purchase for income tax purposes (see Note 2).
As of January 1, 2002, ABS adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly, the Company is required to test the goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis. The Company has determined that it has several reporting units. Goodwill is only attributable to one of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
its reporting units, which is comprised of three residential treatment center facilities (two in South Carolina and one in Virginia). The fair value of the reporting unit was determined by projecting future cash flows at the annual evaluation date of October 1, 2005. The valuation did not indicate any impairment to the recorded goodwill.
Income Taxes
Income taxes for financial reporting purposes are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method under SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of the Company’s asset and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
ABS is included in FHC’s consolidated Federal, combined Virginia, and consolidated/unitary Arizona, Nebraska and California income tax returns. Separate income tax returns are filed in the other states in which ABS conducts business. The income tax provision or benefit is computed for each entity in the consolidated group at the statutory rate based on each entity’s income or loss giving effect to permanent differences.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“SFAS No. 158”) which requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity. This Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The Company does not have any defined benefit postretirement

    benefit plans, therefore does not expect SFAS No. 158 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
    In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). Due to diversity in practice, SAB 108 expresses SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006.
 
2.   New Hope Facilities Acquisition
 
    As discussed in Note 1, on October 1, 2004, ABS acquired 100% of the stock of two residential treatment centers in South Carolina, New Hope Midlands, Inc. and New Hope, Inc. (“the Centers”), for approximately $6,236,000, including acquisition costs of approximately $185,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Earnings of the Centers have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date.
 
    The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as determined by an independent appraisal:
         
Current assets
  $ 225,000  
Property and equipment
    2,685,000  
Goodwill
    833,000  
Intangible assets
    5,661,000  
 
     
Assets acquired
    9,404,000  
 
     
 
       
Current liabilities
    825,000  
Long-term debt
    2,343,000  
 
     
Liabilities assumed
    3,168,000  
 
     
Net assets acquired
  $ 6,236,000  
 
     
    Intangible assets include the estimated fair value of noncompete agreements of $96,000, patient referral relationships of $2,004,000, and certificates of need of $3,561,000. All of the recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes
 
    ABS management made a joint Internal Revenue Code section 338(h)(10) election with the prior owner of the Centers for the acquisition of these two companies. The election treated the acquisition of the companies as an asset purchase for Federal income tax purposes. In 2005 the Internal Revenue Service approved this election, and as a result, the Company reduced its deferred tax liabilities by approximately $2,619,000 and reduced the goodwill recorded from the transaction by the same amount. This adjustment is included in the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in the table above.
 
    Subsequent to the acquisition, the prior owner of the Centers owes ABS amounts primarily comprised of shared overhead services and true-up of the September 30, 2004 conveyed assets and assumed liabilities. In addition, ABS owes the prior owner amounts primarily comprised of shared overhead services and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
    payments made by the prior owner on behalf of ABS. Net amounts owed to the prior owner as of December 31, 2005 was $68,000, and recorded in accounts payable. This balance was paid during the first quarter of 2006.

    During 2004, ABS closed a psychiatric facility in Kenbridge, Virginia, which was reclassified to assets held for sale. The estimated fair market (expected net realizable) value of the real property owned by the facility is reflected as assets held for sale of approximately $842,000 at September 30, 2006 (unaudited) and December 31, 2005.
 
    During the first quarter of 2005, ABS sold a psychiatric facility (previously classified as held for sale) located in Richmond, Virginia, and recognized a gain of approximately $2,000.

5.   Income Taxes
 
    The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (unaudited) was approximately $2.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rate in 2005 was impacted by an approximate $2.5 million income tax benefit as a result of management’s reassessment of its valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets in Puerto Rico.
 
    First Hospital Panamericano, Inc. (“Panamericano”), a subsidiary, has been granted a partial exemption from income taxes and real estate taxes under the benefits granted by Act No. 168 (Hospital Facilities Tax Exemption). The Act provides for a 50% reduction in the Puerto Rico taxable income and a partial exemption from real estate taxes and is effective through June 30, 2007.
 
    Effective October 1, 1992, Panamericano elected to be treated as a Possessions Corporation under Internal Revenue Service Code Section (“IRC”) 936 and, therefore, was not subject to federal income taxes through December 31, 2001. The 1996 Small Business Act repealed Section 936 on a prospective basis over a 10-year transition period. For taxable periods after 1995 and before 2002, the credit allowed under Section 936 is calculated the same as under the tax law prior to 1996. For tax periods after 2001 and before 2006, the credit is subject to a cap as outlined in the IRC.
 
    FHC’s tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other government agencies in the jurisdictions where FHC operates. As of September 30, 2006 (unaudited) and December 31, 2005, ABS had accrued $1,500,000 for potential future unfavorable settlements of these examinations. Any differences between tax contingency reserves and additional assessed liabilities will be adjusted at the time the examinations close, or at the time that the opportunity for the agencies to examine the returns expires.
