NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared by Universal Hospital Services, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, or “UHS”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

The interim consolidated financial statements presented herein as of June 30, 2013, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  These adjustments are all of a normal, recurring nature.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

We are required to make estimates and assumptions about future events in preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.  While we believe that our past estimates and assumptions have been materially accurate, our current estimates are subject to change if different assumptions as to the outcome of future events are made.  We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and predicate those estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  We make adjustments to our assumptions and judgments when facts and circumstances dictate.  Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

A description of our significant accounting policies is included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UHS and its 100%-owned subsidiary, UHS Surgical Services, Inc. (“Surgical Services”). In addition, in accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), we have accounted for our equity investments in entities in which we are the primary beneficiary under the full consolidation method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated through consolidation. As the primary beneficiary, we consolidate the limited liability companies (“LLCs”) referred to in Note 12, Limited Liability Companies, as we effectively receive the majority of the benefits from such entities and we provide equipment lease guarantees for such entities.

2.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standard Adopted

In July 2012, the FASB issued an amendment to indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment. This amendment permits an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The results of the qualitative assessment would be used as a basis in determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment supports the conclusion that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset exceeds its carrying amount, the entity would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. The objective of this update is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill, and to improve consistency in impairment testing among long-lived asset categories. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

4

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”) which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

3.Acquisitions

On July 9, 2012, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of a surgical laser equipment service provider for total consideration of approximately $5.3 million.  The consideration consists of $2.6 million of cash paid at closing, $1.0 million of debt assumed that was paid off upon closing, and approximately $1.7 million in contingent earn-out payment expected to be paid in the second half of 2013.

On March 31, 2012, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of the southern California equipment rental division of a medical equipment manufacturer. The total purchase price was approximately $0.8 million, including approximately $0.4 million in contingent consideration which may be paid over four years based on future revenues. Assets acquired consisted of medical equipment of $0.4 million and customer relationship intangibles of $0.3 million.

On January 3, 2012, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of a Florida-based surgical laser equipment service provider for total consideration of approximately $16.1 million. The total consideration consists of $11.0 million of cash paid at closing, $3.2 million of debt assumed that was paid off upon closing, and $1.9 million of holdback amounts, of which $0.2 million was paid in 2012 and $1.7 million was paid in January 2013.

Acquisitions completed during the year ended 2012 are not material individually or in the aggregate.

All acquisitions were funded primarily from our existing senior secured credit facility.

4.Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are summarized in the following table by type of inputs applicable to the fair value measurements:

	Fair Value at June 30, 2013								Fair Value at December 31, 2012
(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Contingent Consideration	$	—	$	—	$	2,048	$	2,048	$	—	$	—	$	2,033	$	2,033

A description of the inputs used in the valuation of assets and liabilities is summarized as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in active markets.

Level 2 — Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in inactive markets; other inputs that are considered in fair value determinations of the assets or liabilities, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 — Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets and liabilities. Management is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if any, market activity in the assets or liabilities or related observable inputs that can be corroborated at the measurement date. Measurements of non-exchange traded derivative contract assets and liabilities are primarily based on valuation models, discounted cash flow models or other valuation techniques that are believed to be used by market participants. Unobservable inputs require management to make certain projections and assumptions about the information that would be used by market participants in pricing assets or liabilities.

During 2012, we recorded a contingent consideration liability, in the form of an earn-out payment, related to our acquisitions in the total amount of $2.1 million. The contingent consideration payments are based on achieving certain revenue results. The fair value of the liability was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with significant inputs that are not

5

observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity included our assessments of expected future cash flows during the earn-out period, related to the assets acquired, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated based on estimated revenues in accordance with the terms of the agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $0.02 and $0.05 million, respectively, in earn-out payments were paid.

The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow analysis included estimates of interest rates and the timing and amount of incremental cash flows.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance for the Level 3 measurement (in thousands) are as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2012	$	2,033
Interest	64
Payments	(49		)
Balance at June 30, 2013	$	2,048

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The Company considers that the carrying amount of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and senior secured credit facility, approximates fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of our outstanding Original Notes, Add-on Notes and Floating Rate Notes (each as defined in Note 9, Long-Term Debt) as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues of debt, which represents a Level 2 fair value measurement, is approximately:

	June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
(in millions)	Value		Value		Value		Value
Original notes - 7.625%	$	425.0	$	446.3	$	425.0	$	448.4
Add-on notes - 7.625% (1)	233.5		231.0		—		—
Floating rate notes	—		—		230.0		229.1

(1)  The carrying value of the Add-on notes - 7.625% includes unamortized bond premium of $13.5 million.

7.Share-Based Compensation

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, activity under the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Stock Option Plan”), of UHS Holdco, Inc., our parent company (“Parent”), was as follows:

(in thousands except exercise price and years)	Number of Options		Weighted average exercise price		Aggregate intrinsic value		Weighted average remaining contractual term (years)
Outstanding at December 31, 2012	36,668		$	1.12	$	11,253	5.6
Granted	6,150		1.40
Exercised	—		—
Forfeited or expired	(3,971	)	1.05
Outstanding at June 30, 2013	38,847		$	1.17	$	9,838	6.0
Exercisable at June 30, 2013	26,209		$	1.05	$	9,661	4.4
Remaining authorized options available for issue	4,839

The exercise price of the stock option award is equal to the market value of Parent’s common stock on the grant date as determined reasonably and in good faith by Parent’s Board of Directors and compensation committee and based on an analysis of a variety of factors including peer group multiples, merger and acquisition multiples, and discounted cash flow analyses.

The intrinsic value of a stock award is the amount by which the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the award.

We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the options’ expected vesting periods. The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 under the Black-Scholes model. There were no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

	Six Month Ended
	June 30, 2013
Risk-free interest rate	1.25		%
Expected volatility	35.3		%
Dividend yield	N/A
Expected option life (years)	6.75
Black-Scholdes Value of options	$	0.53

Expected volatility is based on an independent valuation of the stock of companies within our peer group.  Given the lack of a true comparable company, the peer group consists of selected public health care companies representing our suppliers, customers and competitors within certain product lines.  The risk free-interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date based on the expected option life.  The expected option life represents the result of the “simplified” method applied to “plain vanilla” options granted during the period, as provided within Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.”  Parent used the simplified method as Parent does not have sufficient historical exercise experience to provide a basis upon which to estimate the expected term.

Although Parent grants stock options, the Company recognizes compensation expense related to these options since the services are performed for its benefit.  Along with this expense, which is primarily included in Selling, General and

8

Administrative expense, the Company records an offsetting Payable to Parent liability which is not expected to be settled within the next twelve months.

At June 30, 2013, unearned non-cash share-based compensation that we expect to recognize as expense over a weighted average period of 2.1 years totals approximately $6.5 million, net of our estimated forfeiture rate of 2.0%. The expense could be accelerated upon the sale of Parent or the Company.

8.Dividend and Equity Distribution

On June 8, 2011, the Board of Directors declared an equity distribution of $0.12 per option to holders of outstanding options on the Parent’s stock on June 10, 2011 that vested on December 31, 2011 and 2012 and are scheduled to vest on December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 reflect the related current dividend payable and long-term dividend payable included in Payable to Parent for estimated amounts to be paid to holders of options expected to vest on December 31, 2013 through 2015 based on an estimated option forfeiture rate of 2% annually.

9.Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:

	June 30,			December 31,
(in thousands)	2013			2012
Original notes - 7.625%	$	425,000		$	425,000

Less: Current portion of long-term debt	(5,382		)	(6,223		)
Total long-term debt	$	703,878		$	692,791

Original Notes and Add-on Notes — 7.625%. On August 7, 2012, we issued $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Original Notes”) under an indenture dated as of August 7, 2012 (the “2012 Indenture”). On February 12, 2013, we issued $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Add-on Notes”, and along with the Original Notes, the “2012 Notes”) as “additional notes” pursuant to the 2012 Indenture. The 2012 Notes mature on August 15, 2020.

The 2012 Indenture provides that the 2012 Notes are our second lien senior secured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a second lien senior secured basis by our existing and certain of our future 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries.

Interest on the 2012 Notes is payable, entirely in cash, semiannually, in arrears, on February 15 and August 15 of each year. We may redeem some or all of the 2012 Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the 2012 Indenture.  If we sell certain assets or undergo certain kinds of changes of control, we must offer to repurchase the 2012 Notes.

Our 2012 Notes are subject to certain debt covenants which are described below under the heading “2012 Indenture.”

In connection with the issuance of the Add-on Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Add-on Notes. On April 5, 2013, our Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed to register the exchange of the Add-on Notes for fully registered Add-on Notes, was declared effective by the SEC and we commenced our exchange offer. The exchange offer expired on May 6, 2013 and on May 10, 2013 we completed an offer to exchange all of the then outstanding Add-on Notes for an equivalent amount of Add-on Notes which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We did not receive any additional proceeds from the exchange offer.

9

Floating Rate Notes.  On May 31, 2007, we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes (the “Floating Rate Notes”) due 2015.  Interest on the Floating Rate Notes was reset for each semi-annual interest period and was calculated at the current LIBOR rate plus 3.375%.

On March 14, 2013, we redeemed all of our outstanding Floating Rate Notes. The proceeds of the Add-on Notes were used to fund the redemption.

Senior Secured Credit Facility.  On July 31, 2012, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent for the lenders, and the lenders party thereto (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”), which amended our then-existing senior secured credit facility originally dated as of May 31, 2007 and amended and restated as of May 6, 2010. We refer to the second amended and restated senior secured credit facility as the “senior secured credit facility.” The senior secured credit facility is a first lien senior secured asset based revolving credit facility that is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including permitted investments, capital expenditures and debt repayments, on a fully revolving basis, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the credit documents in the form of revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit. The Second Amended Credit Agreement increased the aggregate amount we may obtain under revolving loans from $195.0 million to $235.0 million and extended the maturity date to July 31, 2017.  Our obligations under the Second Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, excluding a pledge of our and Parent’s stock, any joint ventures and certain other exceptions.  Our obligations under the Second Amended Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Parent and our restricted subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2013, we had $159.2 million of availability under the senior secured credit facility based on a borrowing base of $197.9 million less borrowings of $34.5 million and after giving effect to $4.2 million used for letters of credit.

The senior secured credit facility requires our compliance with various affirmative and negative covenants. Pursuant to the affirmative covenants, we and Parent agreed to, among other things, deliver financial and other information to the administrative agent, provide notice of certain events (including events of default), pay our obligations, maintain our properties, maintain the security interest in the collateral for the benefit of the administrative agent and the lenders and maintain insurance.

Among other restrictions, and subject to certain definitions and exceptions, the senior secured credit facility restricts our ability to:

·incur indebtedness;

·create or permit liens;

·declare or pay dividends and certain other restricted payments;

·consolidate, merge or recapitalize;

·acquire or sell assets;

·make certain investments, loans or other advances;

·enter into transactions with affiliates;

·change our line of business; and

·enter into hedging transactions.

The senior secured credit facility also contains a financial covenant that is triggered if our available borrowing capacity is less than $20.0 million for a certain period, which consists of a minimum ratio of trailing four-quarter Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) to cash interest expense, as such terms are defined in the senior secured credit facility.

The senior secured credit facility specifies certain events of default, including, among others, failure to pay principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy events, certain ERISA-related events, cross-defaults to other material agreements, change of control events and invalidity of guarantees or security documents.  Some events of default will be triggered only after certain cure periods have expired, or will provide for materiality thresholds.  If such a default occurs, the lenders under the senior secured credit facility would be entitled to take various actions, including all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor and the acceleration of amounts due under the senior secured credit facility.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility accrue interest (including a credit spread varying with facility usage):

10

·at a per annum rate equal to 1.00% - 1.50% above the rate equal to the greater of (i) the “federal funds rate” plus one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum, (ii) the “prime rate” announced from time to time by the administrative agent for such day and (iii) the “Eurodollar rate” for a one month interest period as determined on such day, plus one percent (1.0%) payable quarterly in arrears; and

·at a per annum rate equal to 2.00% - 2.50% above the adjusted British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in Dollars rate used by the administrative agent with a term equivalent to the selected interest rate period, for the respective interest rate period determined at our option, payable in arrears upon cessation of the interest rate period elected, provided that for an interest rate period longer than three months, payable in arrears on the respective dates that fall every three months from the beginning of such interest rate period.

At June 30, 2013, we had $34.5 million of borrowings outstanding of which $30.0 million was accruing interest at a rate of 2.693% and $4.5 million was accruing interest at the prime rate of 4.75%.

We were in compliance with all financial debt covenants for all periods presented.

2012 Indenture. Our 2012 Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a second priority senior secured basis, by Surgical Services, and are also similarly guaranteed by certain of our future 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries. The 2012 Notes are our second priority senior secured obligations and rank (i) equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness, and effectively senior to any such unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the value of collateral; (ii) senior in right of payment to all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness; (iii) effectively junior to our senior secured credit facility; and (iv) structurally subordinated to any indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of any of our future subsidiaries that are not guarantors.

The 2012 Indenture governing the 2012 Notes contains covenants that limit our and our guarantors’ ability, subject to certain definitions and exceptions, and certain of our future subsidiaries’ ability to:

·incur additional indebtedness;

·pay cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock or repurchase our capital stock or subordinated debt;

·issue redeemable stock or preferred stock;

·issue stock of subsidiaries;

·make certain investments;

·transfer or sell assets;

·create liens on our assets to secure debt;

·enter into transactions with affiliates; and

·merge or consolidate with another company.

The 2012 Indenture specifies certain events of default, including among others, failure to pay principal, interest or premium, violation of covenants and agreements, cross-defaults to other material agreements, bankruptcy events, invalidity of guarantees, and a default in the performance by us of the security documents relating to the 2012 Indenture. Some events of default will be triggered only after certain grace or cure periods have expired, or provide for materiality thresholds. In the event certain bankruptcy-related defaults occur, the 2012 Notes will become due and payable immediately. If any other default occurs, the Trustee (and in some cases the noteholders) would be entitled to take various actions, including acceleration of amounts due under the 2012 Indenture.

We were in compliance with all financial debt covenants for all periods presented.

10.Commitments and Contingencies

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, could be subject to liability claims related to employees and the equipment that it rents and services. Asserted claims are subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable. While the ultimate resolution of these actions may have an impact on the Company’s financial results for a particular reporting period, management believes that any such resolution would not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

As of June 30, 2013, we were not a party to any pending legal proceedings the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.

11.Related Party Transactions

Management Agreement

On May 31, 2007, we and Irving Place Capital Merchant Manager III, L.P. (“IPC”) entered into a professional services agreement pursuant to which IPC provides general advisory and management services to us with respect to financial and operating matters.  IPC is a principal owner of Parent, and the following members of our board of directors are associated with IPC:  Michael Feiner, Robert Juneja, and Bret Bowerman. In addition, David Crane, a director, provides consulting services to IPC. The professional services agreement requires us to pay an annual fee for ongoing advisory and management services equal to the greater of $0.5 million or 0.75% of our Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the professional services agreement) for the immediately preceding fiscal year, payable in quarterly installments. The professional services agreement provides that IPC will be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with certain activities undertaken pursuant to the professional services agreement and will be indemnified for liabilities incurred in connection with its role under the professional services agreement, other than for liabilities resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The term of the professional services agreement commenced on May 31, 2007 and will remain in effect unless and until either party notifies the other of its desire to terminate, we are sold to a third-party purchaser or we consummate a qualified initial public offering, as defined in the professional services agreement. Total professional services fees incurred to IPC were $0.3 and $0.2 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $0.6 and $0.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Business Relationship

In the ordinary course of business, we entered into an operating lease for our Minneapolis, Minnesota district office with Ryan Fund V, LLC (“Ryan”), which began on May 1, 2007.  One member of our board of directors is also a limited partner in Ryan which has ownership interest in an LLC that owns the property. Total rent expense to Ryan were $0.1 and $0.1 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $0.2 and $0.2 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, we entered into engagement letters with CTPartners, LLC (“CTPartners”) in September of 2012 and January of 2013 to conduct searches for certain executive positions.  One member of our board of directors, Michael Feiner, is also a director of CTPartners. Total fees incurred to CTPartners were $0.1 and $0 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $0.2 and $0.1 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company believes that the aforementioned arrangements and relationships were provided in the ordinary course of business.

12.Limited Liability Companies

We participate with others in the formation of LLCs in which Surgical Services becomes a partner and shares the financial interest with the other investors. Surgical Services is the primary beneficiary of these LLCs. These LLCs acquire certain medical equipment for use in their respective business activities, which generally focus on surgical procedures. The LLCs will acquire medical equipment for providing Surgical Services under equipment financing leases. At June 30, 2013, the LLCs had approximately $0.6 million of total assets. The third party investors in each respective LLC generally provide the lease financing company with individual proportionate lease guarantees based on their respective ownership percentages in the LLCs. In addition, Surgical Services will provide such financing companies with its corporate guarantee based on its respective ownership interest in each LLC. In certain instances, Surgical Services has provided such financing companies with an overall corporate guarantee in connection with equipment financing transactions. In such instances, the individual investors in each respective LLC will generally indemnify us against losses, if any, incurred in connection with its corporate guarantee. Additionally, we provide operational and administrative support to the LLCs in which it is a partner. As of June 30, 2013, we held interests in six active LLCs.

In accordance with guidance issued by the FASB, we account for equity investments in LLCs (in which we are the primary beneficiary) under the full consolidation method whereby transactions between Surgical Services and the LLCs have been eliminated through consolidation.

15.Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets by scheduling the expected reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities in order to determine whether net operating loss carry forwards are recoverable prior to expiration and have established a valuation allowance in accordance with ASC Topic 740. The tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily relates to a discrete item to record a deferred tax liability for adjustments in connection with the tax amortization of indefinite-life goodwill and state minimum fees. The Company will continue to incur deferred tax expense in the future as tax amortization occurs. The expected tax benefit from operating loss during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was offset by the recording of additional valuation allowance. Our January 3, 2012 acquisition resulted in the recording of deferred tax liabilities on the opening balance sheet due to higher book than tax bases for fixed assets and amortizable intangible assets.   This discrete event had the one-time effect of reducing our valuation allowance by approximately $3.4 million on that date, though this amount was offset by approximately $2.5 million of additional valuation allowance resulting from year-to-date losses. In future reporting periods, we will continue to assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realizable.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had available unused federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $190.6 million. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2019 through 2034.

16.Consolidating Financial Statements

In accordance with the provisions of the 2012 Indenture, as a 100%-owned subsidiary of UHS, Surgical Services has jointly and severally guaranteed all the Company’s Obligations (as defined in the 2012 Indenture) on a full and unconditional basis. Consolidating financial information of UHS and the guarantor is presented on the following pages.

17.Restructuring

The Company has completed a management reorganization in order to streamline our management ranks and refocus our approach to delivering solutions to customers.  This resulted in severances, relocations, retirements and changed responsibilities across our management ranks resulting in approximately $7.4 million of one-time charges during 2012 and the first two quarters of 2013.

We incurred restructuring expense of $0.2 and $0.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, the majority of which related to severances, recruiting and other related expenses. In addition, we recorded $0.4 million for the cancellation of outstanding stock options for certain terminated employees, which was recorded as reduction to Payable to Parent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The restructuring expense impact was recorded under the Corporate and Unallocated segment. As of December 31, 2012, we had $4.8 million of restructuring liability. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, $2.9 million in restructuring charges was paid and the remaining $2.1 million is a liability which is expected to be paid out by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013 and is included in the Other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

18.Concentration

One customer accounted for approximately 13% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

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

The following should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Our Company

Universal Hospital Services, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, or “UHS”) is a leading nationwide provider of medical equipment management and service solutions to the United States health care industry. Our customers include national, regional and local acute and long-term acute care hospitals, alternate site providers (such as long-term acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, specialty hospitals, nursing homes, and home care providers) and medical equipment manufacturers.  We provide our customers solutions across the spectrum of the equipment life cycle as a result of our position as one of the industry’s largest purchasers and outsourcers of medical equipment. As of June 30, 2013, we owned or managed over 680,000 pieces of medical equipment consisting of over 430,000 owned or managed pieces in our Medical Equipment Outsourcing segment and over 250,000 pieces of customer owned equipment we managed in our Technical and Professional Services segment. Our diverse medical equipment outsourcing customer base includes approximately 4,300 acute care hospitals and approximately 4,300 alternate site providers.  We also have relationships with more than 200 medical equipment manufacturers and most of the nation’s largest group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) and many of the integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”).  All of our solutions leverage our nationwide network of 83 offices and our more than 70 years of experience managing and servicing all aspects of medical equipment. Our fees are paid directly by our customers rather than by direct reimbursement from third-party payors, such as private insurers, Medicare, or Medicaid.

We commenced operations in 1939, originally incorporated in Minnesota in 1954 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2001.  Historically, we have experienced significant and sustained growth. Our overall growth strategy is to continue to grow organically, through strategic acquisitions, and potential international growth opportunities.

As one of the nation’s leading medical equipment management and service solutions companies, we focus on offering our customers comprehensive solutions that help reduce capital and operating expenses, increase equipment and staff productivity and support improved patient safety and outcomes.

We report our financial results in three segments. Our reporting segments consist of Medical Equipment Outsourcing, Technical and Professional Services, and Medical Equipment Sales and Remarketing. We evaluate the performance of our reporting segments based on gross margin. The accounting policies of the individual reporting segments are the same as those of the entire company.

Medical Equipment Outsourcing Segment - Manage & Utilize

Our flagship business is our Medical Equipment Outsourcing segment, which accounted for $78.3 million, or approximately 73.2% of our revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and $160.3 million, or approximately 73.8% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, we owned or managed over 430,000 pieces in our Medical Equipment Outsourcing segment, primarily in the categories of respiratory therapy, newborn care, critical care, patient monitors, patient handling (which includes fall management, bariatrics, beds, stretchers and wheelchairs), pressure area management (such as therapy surfaces), wound therapy, laser and mobile surgical services. Historically, we have purchased and owned directly the equipment used in our medical equipment outsourcing programs.

We have four primary outsourcing programs:

·Supplemental and Peak Needs Usage;

·Customized Outsourcing Agreements;

·Asset360® Equipment Management Program (“Asset360 Program”); and

·Laser and Mobile Surgical Services.

Our primary customer relationships are with local healthcare providers such as hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care providers, and nursing homes.  These organizations may belong to regional or national groups of facilities, and often participate in GPOs. We contract at the local, regional and national level, as requested by our customers. We expect much of our future growth in this segment to be driven by our customers outsourcing more of their medical equipment needs and taking full advantage of our diversified product offering, customized outsourcing agreements and Asset360 Programs.

25

Technical and Professional Services Segment - Plan & Acquire; Maintain & Repair

Our Technical and Professional Services segment accounted for $21.9 million, or approximately 20.5% of our revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and $43.2 million, or approximately 19.9% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We leverage our over 70 years of experience and our extensive equipment database in repairing and maintaining medical equipment.  We offer a broad range of inspection, preventive maintenance, repair, logistic, equipment demonstration and consulting services through our team of over 350 technicians and professionals located throughout the United States in our nationwide network of offices and managed over 250,000 units of customer owned equipment as of June 30, 2013. In addition, as of June 30, 2013, we serviced over 430,000 units that we own or directly manage. Our Technical and Professional Service offerings provide a complementary alternative for customers that wish to own their medical equipment, but lack the infrastructure, expertise or scale to perform routine maintenance, repair, record-keeping and lifecycle analysis and planning functions.

Medical Equipment Sales and Remarketing Segment - Redeploy & Remarket

Our Medical Equipment Sales and Remarketing segment accounted for $6.8 million, or approximately 6.3% of our revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and $13.9 million, or approximately 6.3% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This segment includes three distinct business activities:

Medical Equipment Remarketing and Disposal. We believe we are one of the nation’s largest buyers and sellers of pre-owned medical equipment.  We buy, source, remarket and dispose of pre-owned medical equipment for our customers and for our own behalf. We provide our customers with the ability to sell their unneeded medical equipment for immediate cash or credit. We provide fair market value assessments and buy-out proposals on equipment the customer intends to trade in for equipment upgrades so that the customer can evaluate the manufacturers’ or alternative offers.  Additionally, we can assist customers in obtaining lease financing. Customers can also take advantage of our disposal services, where we dispose of equipment that has no remaining economic value in a safe and environmentally appropriate manner.

We remarket pre-owned medical equipment to hospitals, alternate site providers, veterinarians and equipment brokers.  This segment of our business focuses on providing solutions to customers that have capital budget dollars available to purchase equipment. We offer a wide range of equipment including equipment we use in our outsourcing programs and diagnostic, ultrasound and x-ray equipment.

Specialty Medical Equipment Sales and Distribution. We use our national infrastructure to provide sales and distribution services to manufacturers of specialty medical equipment on a limited basis.  Our distribution services include providing demonstration services and product maintenance services.  We act as a distributor for only a limited number of products that are particularly suited to our national distribution network or that fit with our ability to provide technical support.  We currently sell equipment in selected product lines including, but not limited to, respiratory percussion vests, continuous passive motion machines, patient monitors, patient handling equipment and infant security systems.

Sales of Disposables. We offer our customers single use disposable items.  Most of these items are used in connection with our outsourced equipment.  We offer these products as a convenience to customers and to complement our full medical equipment management and service solutions.

Consolidated Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012

Total Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $107.0 million compared to $106.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to our medical equipment outsourcing segment driven by growth in our Asset360 Program of $3.1 million, growth in our laser surgical services business of $1.8 million primarily related to a July 2012 acquisition, offset by a decrease in brokerage and used sales of $2.1 million, a decrease in our peak need rental business primarily due to patient census of $1.1 million and a decrease in other outsourcing revenue of $0.7 million.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $74.7 million compared to $60.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $13.9 million or 23.0%. The increase was primarily in our medical equipment outsourcing segment due to recall gains in 2012 of $12.8 million, an increase in Asset360 Program costs of $1.2 million, growth in our laser surgical services business, which resulted in additional costs of $1.1 million, offset by a decrease in cost of brokerage and used equipment sales of $1.9 million.

Gross Margin

Total gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $32.3 million, or 30.1% of total revenues compared to $45.9 million, or 43.1% of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $13.6 million or 29.8%.  The decrease in gross margin as a percent of revenue for the quarter was primarily impacted by recall equipment gains recognized in the prior year.

Total revenue in the Medical Equipment Outsourcing segment increased $3.2 million, or 4.3%, to $78.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.  The increase was primarily due to organic growth and the net additions of Asset360 Program of $3.1 million, increased revenues related to our laser surgical services business primarily from a July 2012 acquisition of $1.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from peak need rental of $1.1 million and other outsourcing revenue of $0.7 million. Many of our Asset360 Program customers utilize more than one of our equipment management program offerings in areas such as infusion, patient handling, and negative pressure wound therapy. As of June 30, 2013, we had 150 such active programs, up from 118 as of December 31, 2012.

Total cost of revenue in the segment increased $14.9 million, or 77.7%, to $34.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.  This increase is attributable to a decrease in recalled equipment gains of $12.8 million due to the completion of the recall program in 2012, an increase in employee-related costs to support growth in revenue in our Asset360 Program of $1.2 million and an increase in employee-related expenses associated with our laser surgical services business of $1.1 million.

Medical equipment depreciation increased $1.1 million, or 6.6%, to $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012. The increase in medical equipment depreciation was primarily due to the additional depreciation expense related to acquisitions in our laser surgical services business during 2012 along with increased depreciation expense related to infusion pumps and other medical equipment purchased.

Gross margin percentage for the Medical Equipment Outsourcing segment decreased from 51.3% in the second quarter of 2012 to 32.8% in the second quarter of 2013. This decrease was attributable to the recall equipment gains recognized in the prior year of $12.8 million and an increase in depreciation. Gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2012 excluding recall equipment gains was 34.2%.

Total revenue in the Technical and Professional Services segment decreased $0.4 million, or 2.0%, to $21.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our BioMed360® Equipment Management Programs (“BioMed360 Programs”) of $0.7 million, partially offset by an increase in manufacturing services revenue of $0.3 million.

28

Total cost of revenue in the segment decreased $0.1 million, or 0.6%, to $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.

Gross margin percentage for the Technical and Professional Services segment decreased from 24.5% for the second quarter of 2012 to 23.4% for the same period of 2013. Gross margin percentage will fluctuate based on the variability of third-party vendor expenses in our BioMed360 Program and supplemental service programs.

Total revenue in the Medical Equipment Sales and Remarketing segment decreased $2.5 million, or 26.9%, to $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in brokerage and used sales of $2.1 million.

Total cost of revenue in the segment decreased $2.0 million, or 27.2%, to $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in costs related to brokerage and used sales of $1.9 million.

Gross margin percentage for the Medical Equipment Sales and Remarketing segment increased from 20.7% in the second quarter of 2012 to 21.0% for the same period of 2013. We expect margins and activity in this segment to fluctuate based on the transactional nature and product mix of the business, where new equipment sales generally yield a lower margin than used equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $1.9 million, or 6.8%, to $30.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in outside consulting services of $1.6 million primarily due to an external review of our operations and business opportunities and an increase in employee-related salary, benefit and incentives of $1.0 million primarily to support growth in the Asset360 Program. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in stock option expense of $0.7 million due to the majority of shares becoming fully vested by the end of 2012. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue was 28.7% and 26.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

29

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $0.6 million to $13.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012. This decrease was mainly attributable to lower interest rates in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012.

Income Taxes

Income taxes were an expense of $0.2 and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 primarily relates to state minimum fees and amortization of indefinite-life intangibles. The Company will continue to incur deferred tax expense in the future as tax amortization occurs. The expected tax benefit from operating loss during the three months ended June 30, 2013 was offset by the recording of additional valuation allowance. Our January 3, 2012 acquisition resulted in the recording of deferred tax liabilities on the opening balance sheet due to higher book than tax basis for fixed assets and amortizable intangible assets. This discrete event had the one-time effect of reducing our valuation allowance by approximately $3.4 million on that date, though this amount was offset by approximately $2.5 million of additional valuation allowance resulting from year-to-date losses. In future reporting periods, we will continue to assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realizable.

Consolidated Net Loss

Consolidated net loss increased $15.0 million to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.  Net loss was impacted primarily by the recall equipment gains in 2012 of $12.8 million, higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.9 million and a loss on extinguishment of debt in 2013 of $1.9 million.

Consolidated Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012

Total Revenue

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $217.3 million compared with $210.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $6.7 million or 3.2%.  The increase was primarily due to additional revenue in our medical equipment outsourcing segment related to growth in our Asset360 Programs of $5.5 million and growth in our laser surgical services business of $3.3 million primarily from a July 2012 acquisition. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in brokerage and used sales of $2.1 million.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $149.2 million compared to $127.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $21.7 million or 17.0%. The increase was primarily in our medical equipment outsourcing segment due to recall gains in 2012 of $15.4 million, an increase in medical equipment depreciation of $2.1 million, an increase in Asset360 Program costs of $2.0 million and growth in our laser surgical services business, which resulted in additional costs of $1.9 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in cost of brokerage and used equipment sales of $1.5 million.

Gross Margin

Total gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $68.1 million, or 31.3% of total revenues compared to $83.1 million, or 39.4% of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $15.0 million or 18.0%.  The decrease in gross margin as a percent of revenue for the quarter was primarily impacted by recall equipment gains recognized in the prior year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $3.8 million, or 6.8%, to $60.2 million for the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in outside consulting services of $2.4 million primarily due to an external review of our operations and business opportunities, an increase in employee-related salary, benefit and incentives of $2.5 million primarily to support growth in the Asset360 Program, an increase in bad debt expense of $0.7 million, and a gain on sale of vehicles of $0.5 million in 2012. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in stock option expense of $1.5 million due to an increase in forfeited shares and the majority of shares became fully vested by the end of 2012, as well as a decrease in amortization expense of $0.9 million due to certain intangible assets that were fully amortized during 2012. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue was 27.7% and 26.8% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

32

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

For the six months ended 2013, we wrote off $1.9 million of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the redemption of our floating rate notes due 2015.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $2.2 million to $27.8 million for the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012. This decrease was mainly attributable to lower interest rates in the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012.

Income Taxes

Income taxes were an expense of $0.9 million and a benefit of $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily relates to a discrete item to record a deferred tax liability for cumulative adjustments in connection with the tax amortization of indefinite-life goodwill and state minimum fees. The Company will continue to incur deferred tax expense in the future as tax amortization occurs. The expected tax benefit from operating loss during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was offset by the recording of additional valuation allowance. Our January 3, 2012 acquisition resulted in the recording of deferred tax liabilities on the opening balance sheet due to higher book than tax basis for fixed assets and amortizable intangible assets. This discrete event had the one-time effect of reducing our valuation allowance by approximately $3.4 million on that date, though this amount was offset by approximately $2.5 million of additional valuation allowance resulting from year-to-date losses. In future reporting periods, we will continue to assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realizable.

Consolidated Net Loss

Consolidated net loss increased $22.3 million to $22.9 million in the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.  Net loss was impacted primarily by the recalled equipment gains in 2012 of $15.4 million, higher selling, general and administrative expense of $3.8 million and loss on extinguishment of debt in 2013 of $1.9 million.

EBITDA

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) was $54.3 and $73.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was impacted by a decrease of $15.4 million in recalled equipment gains as a result of the completion of the recall program and an increase in selling, general and administrative expense.

In addition to using EBITDA internally as a measure of operational performance, we disclose it externally to assist analysts, investors and lenders in their comparisons of operational performance, valuation and debt capacity across companies with differing capital, tax and legal structures. EBITDA, however, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities or as a measure of liquidity.  Since EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does not represent an amount of funds that is available for management’s discretionary use. A reconciliation of net loss attributable to UHS to EBITDA is included below:

SEASONALITY

Quarterly operating results are typically affected by seasonal factors.  Historically, our first and fourth quarters are the strongest, reflecting increased customer utilization during the fall and winter months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

2012 Notes — 7.625%. On August 7, 2012, we issued $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Original Notes”) under an indenture dated as of August 7, 2012 (the “2012 Indenture”). On February 12, 2013, we issued $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Add-on Notes”, and along with the Original Notes, the “2012 Notes”), as “additional notes” pursuant to the 2012 Indenture. The 2012 Notes mature on August 15, 2020.

The 2012 Indenture provides that the 2012 Notes are our second lien senior secured obligations and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a second lien senior secured basis by our existing and certain of our future 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries.

Floating Rate Notes.  On May 31, 2007, we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes (the “Floating Rate Notes”) due 2015.  Interest on the Floating Rate Notes was reset for each semi-annual interest period and was calculated at the current LIBOR rate plus 3.375%.

On March 14, 2013, we redeemed all of our outstanding Floating Rate Notes. The proceeds of the Add-on Notes were used to fund the redemption.

Our principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, which provides for loans in an amount of up to $235.0 million, subject to our borrowing base. See Note 9, Long-Term Debt for details related to our senior secured credit facility. It is anticipated that our principal uses of liquidity will be to fund capital expenditures related to purchases of medical equipment, provide working capital, meet debt service requirements and finance our strategic plans.

We require substantial cash to operate our medical equipment outsourcing programs and service our debt.  Our outsourcing programs require us to invest a significant amount of cash in medical equipment purchases.  To the extent that such expenditures cannot be funded from our operating cash flow, borrowing under our senior secured credit facility or other financing sources, we may not be able to conduct our business or grow as currently planned.

34

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in order to service our debt, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity capital.  This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.  If we are unable to repay our debt at maturity, we may have to obtain alternative financing, which may not be available to us.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $30.2 and $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities increased during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period of 2012 due to increased collections on accounts receivable, debt refinancing shifting the interest cycle from June to August resulting in lower interest payments during the first six months of 2013 and a decrease in accrued interest due to lower interest rates.

Net cash used in investing activities was $32.4 and $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The change in net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of our January 3, 2012 acquisition of a surgical laser equipment service provider.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.2 and $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to less borrowing needs due to the increase in cash provided by operations and the decrease in cash used in investing activities.

Our cash balances were $0 million as of June 30, 2013 compared to $0.3 million as of June 30, 2012.

Based on the level of operating performance expected in 2013, we believe our cash from operations and additional borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, will meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, exclusive of any borrowings that we may make to finance potential acquisitions.  However, if during that period or thereafter we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from operations or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us, our business could be adversely affected.  As of June 30, 2013, we had $159.2 million of availability under the senior secured credit facility based on a borrowing base of $197.9 million less borrowings of $34.5 million and after giving effect to $4.2 million used for letters of credit.  As of June 30, 2012, we had $142.5 million of availability under the senior secured credit facility based on a borrowing base of $195.0 million less borrowings of $47.5 million and after giving effect to $5.0 million used for letters of credit.

Our levels of borrowing are further restricted by the financial covenants set forth in our senior secured credit facility agreement and the 2012 Indenture governing our 2012 Notes, as described in Note 9, Long-Term Debt.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants for all periods presented.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Standard Adopted

In July 2012, the FASB issued an amendment to indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment. This amendment permits an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The results of the qualitative assessment would be used as a basis in determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment supports the conclusion that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset exceeds its carrying amount, the entity would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. The objective of this update is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill, and to improve consistency in impairment testing among long-lived asset categories. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”) which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

·conflicts of interest between our principal equity holder and our other security holders; and

·the risk factors as set forth in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk arising from adverse changes in interest rates, fuel costs, and pension valuation.  We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rates

We use both fixed and variable rate debt as sources of financing.  At June 30, 2013, we had approximately $709.3 million of total debt outstanding of which $34.5 million was bearing interest at variable rates. Based on variable debt levels at June 30, 2013, a 1.0 percentage point change in interest rates on variable rate debt would have resulted in annual interest expense fluctuating by approximately $0.3 million.

Fuel Costs

We are also exposed to market risks related to changes in the price of gasoline used to fuel our fleet of delivery and sales vehicles.  A hypothetical 10% increase in the second quarter of 2013 average price of unleaded gasoline, assuming gasoline

36

usage levels for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, would lead to an annual increase in fuel costs of approximately $0.6 million.

Pension

Our pension plan assets, which were approximately $17.0 million at December 31, 2012, are subject to volatility that can be caused by fluctuations in general economic conditions. Continued market volatility and disruption could cause further declines in asset values, and if this occurs, we may need to make additional pension plan contributions and our pension expense in future years may increase. A hypothetical 10% decrease in the fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2012 would lead to a decrease in the funded status of the plan of approximately $1.7 million.

Other Market Risk

As of June 30, 2013, we have no other material exposure to market risk.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)           Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.

(b)           Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

The Company, from time to time, may become involved in litigation arising out of operations in the normal course of business.

See the additional information in Item 1 of Part I, Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Our business is subject to various risks and uncertainties.  Any of the risks discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors set forth in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
