Dear Fellow Shareholder:
 

Fiscal year 2008 was another year of milestones for our Company. We achieved record revenue of over 50 million dollars an increase of 12% compared to last fiscal year. This was our sixth consecutive year of record revenue.
 
Net Income before our research company’s impairment loss was $2,691,000.

This past year also saw the opening of our first new psychiatric hospital as we opened Seven Hills Behavioral Institute in May. We also announced plans for further development of our Las Vegas operations with the construction of a new outpatient site and the securing of a site for an additional behavioral health center that will meet the needs of the growing Las Vegas market which is projected to double in size over the next 15 years.

Finally we announced the planned opening for Capstone Academy in Detroit that will add another 56 beds downtown. This facility is scheduled to open in early November.
 
Our country is facing challenges that we have never seen in our history. This continues to put undue stress on all Americans. The president has signed the parity act that requires insurance companies to provide equality in Behavioral Health benefit levels, equal to other medical benefits. This new law will provide more access and better reimbursement to those in need of help.
 
Our balance sheet is strong with minimal debt and available lines of credit. We have expanded our share repurchase program.
 
The beginning of fiscal 2009 will set the building blocks in place for our future growth in revenue and profitability.
 
While we are excited about our performance this year, we are not satisfied entirely. We realize we have much work to do so that we can continue to deliver the highest quality of care for our patients and financial performance for our shareholders. We have expanded our acquisition activities to identify opportunities for growth. Opportunities for new business and internal expansion are very strong, and we are setting the stage for a solid second half of fiscal 2009 and beyond.
 
As always, we appreciate the support of our employees, clients and shareholders and thank you for your continued confidence. We look forward to many prosperous and exciting years ahead.

Sincerely yours,
 
 
 
 
Bruce A. Shear
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

Item 1.      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

     Our Company is a national healthcare company, which, through wholly owned subsidiaries, provides psychiatric services to individuals who have behavioral health disorders including alcohol and drug dependency and to individuals in the gaming and transportation industries. Our subsidiaries operate substance abuse treatment facilities in Utah and Virginia, four outpatient psychiatric facilities in Michigan, three outpatient psychiatric facilities in Nevada, and three inpatient psychiatric facilities, two in Michigan and one in Nevada. We provide management, administrative and help line services through contracts with major railroads, a call center contract with Wayne County, Michigan and a smoking cessation contract with a major government contractor. Through another subsidiary, at three sites, we conduct studies on the effects of various pharmaceuticals, including psychiatric pharmaceuticals, on a controlled population through contracts with the manufacturers of these pharmaceuticals. These three sites include two sites in Arizona acquired in fiscal 2004 through the membership purchase of Pivotal Research Centers, LLC. We also operate a website, Wellplace.com, which provides education and training for the behavioral health professional and internet support services to all of our subsidiaries.

     Our Company provides behavioral health services through inpatient and outpatient facilities. Our substance abuse facilities provide specialized treatment services to patients who typically have poor recovery prognosis and who are prone to relapse. These services are offered in small specialty care facilities, which permit us to provide our clients with efficient and customized treatment without the significant costs associated with the management and operation of general acute care hospitals. We tailor these programs and services to "safety-sensitive" industries and concentrate our marketing efforts on the transportation, oil and gas exploration, heavy equipment, manufacturing, law enforcement, gaming and health services industries. Our psychiatric facilities provide inpatient psychiatric care, intensive outpatient treatment and partial hospitalization programs to children, adolescents and adults. Our outpatient mental health clinics provide services to employees of major employers, as well as to managed care companies and Medicare and Medicaid clients. The psychiatric services are offered in a larger, more traditional setting than PHC's substance abuse facilities, enabling PHC to take advantage of economies of scale to provide cost-effective treatment alternatives.

     The Company treats employees who have been referred for treatment as a result of compliance with Subchapter D of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (commonly known as the Drug Free Workplace Act), which requires employers who are Federal contractors or Federal grant recipients to establish drug-free awareness programs which, among other things, inform employees about available drug counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs. We also provide treatment under the Department of Transportation implemented regulations, which broaden the coverage and scope of alcohol and drug testing for employees in "safety sensitive" positions in the transportation industry.

The Company was incorporated in 1976 and is a Massachusetts corporation. Our corporate offices are located at 200 Lake Street, Suite 102, Peabody, MA 01960 and our telephone number is (978) 536-2777.

PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES INDUSTRY

Substance Abuse Facilities
 

Industry Background

The demand for substance abuse treatment services has increased rapidly over the last decade. The Company believes that the increased demand is related to clinical advances in the treatment of substance abuse, greater societal willingness to acknowledge the underlying problems as treatable illnesses, improved health insurance coverage for addictive disorders and chemical dependencies and governmental regulation which requires certain employers to provide information to employees about drug counseling and employee assistance programs.

To contain costs associated with behavioral health issues in the 1980s, many private payors instituted managed care programs for reimbursement, which included pre-admission certification, case management or utilization review and limits on financial coverage or length of stay. These cost containment measures have encouraged outpatient care for behavioral problems, resulting in a shortening of the length of stay and revenue per day in inpatient chemical abuse facilities. The Company believes that it has addressed these cost containment measures by specializing in treating relapse-prone patients with poor prognoses who have failed in other treatment settings. These patients require longer lengths of stay and come from a wide geographic area. The Company continues to develop alternatives to inpatient care including partial day and evening programs in addition to onsite and offsite outpatient programs.

The Company believes that because of the apparent unmet need for certain clinical and medical services, and its continued expansion into various modalities of the care of the chemically dependant that its strategy has been successful despite national trends towards shorter inpatient stays and rigorous scrutiny by managed care organizations.

Company Operations

The Company has been able to secure insurance reimbursement for longer-term inpatient treatment as a result of its success with poor prognosis patients. The Company's two substance abuse facilities work together to refer patients to the center that best meets the patient's clinical and medical needs. Each facility caters to a slightly different patient population including high-risk, relapse-prone chronic alcoholics, drug addicts and dual diagnosis patients (those suffering from both substance abuse and psychiatric disorders). The programs are sensitive to the special behavioral health problems of children, women and Native Americans. The Company concentrates on providing services to insurers, managed care networks and health maintenance organizations for both adults and adolescents. The Company's clinicians often work directly with managers of employee assistance programs to select the best treatment facility possible for their clients.

Each of the Company's facilities operates a case management program for each patient including a clinical and financial evaluation of a patient's circumstances to determine the most cost-effective modality of care from among detoxification, inpatient, day care, specialized relapse treatment, outpatient treatment, and others. In addition to any care provided at one of the Company's facilities, the case management program for each patient includes aftercare. Aftercare may be provided through the outpatient services provided by a facility. Alternatively, the Company may arrange for outpatient aftercare, as well as family and mental health services, through its numerous affiliations with clinicians located across the country once the patient is discharged.

In general, the Company does not accept patients who do not have either insurance coverage or adequate financial resources to pay for treatment. Each of the Company's substance abuse facilities does, however, provide treatment free of charge to a small number of patients each year who are unable to pay for treatment, but who meet certain clinical criteria and who are believed by the Company to have the requisite degree of motivation for treatment to be successful. In addition, the Company provides follow-up treatment free of charge to relapse patients who satisfy certain criteria. The number of patient days attributable to all patients who receive treatment free of charge in any given fiscal year is less than 5% of the total patient days.

The Company believes that it has benefited from an increased awareness of the need to make substance abuse treatment services accessible to the nation’s workforce. For example, The Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 requires employers who are Federal contractors or Federal grant recipients to establish drug free awareness programs to inform employees about available drug counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs and the consequences of drug abuse violations. In response to the Drug Free Workplace Act, many companies, including many major national corporations and transportation companies, have adopted policies that provide for treatment options as an alternative to termination of employment.

Although the Company does not directly provide federally approved mandated drug testing, the Company treats employees who have been referred to the Company as a result of compliance with the Drug Free Workplace Act, particularly from companies that are part of the gaming industry as well as safety sensitive industries such as railroads, airlines, trucking firms, oil and gas exploration companies, heavy equipment companies, manufacturing companies and health services.

HIGHLAND RIDGE - Highland Ridge is a 41-bed, freestanding alcohol and drug treatment hospital, which the Company has been operating since 1984. The hospital increased its bed capacity to 41 from 32 in November 2003 and expanded medical staff to include psychiatric care in its treatment plans. Its focus remains substance abuse and it is the oldest facility dedicated to substance abuse in Utah. Highland Ridge is accredited by The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (“The Joint Commission”) and is licensed by the Utah Department of Health. Highland Ridge is recognized nationally for its excellence in treating substance abuse disorders.

Although Highland Ridge does provide services to individuals from all of the States through contracts with the railroads and other major employers, most patients at this facility are from Utah and surrounding states. Individuals typically access Highland Ridge’s services through professional referrals, family members, employers, employee assistance programs or contracts between the Company and health maintenance organizations located in Utah.

Highland Ridge was the first private for-profit hospital to address specifically the special needs of chemically dependent women in Salt Lake County. In addition, Highland Ridge has contracted with Salt Lake County to provide medical detoxification services targeted to women. The hospital also operates a specialized continuing care support group to address the unique needs of women and minorities.

     A pre-admission evaluation, which involves an evaluation of psychological, cognitive and situational factors, is completed for each prospective patient. In addition, each prospective patient is given a physical examination upon admission. Diagnostic tools, including those developed by the American Psychological Association, the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory are used to develop an individualized treatment plan for each client. The treatment regimen involves an interdisciplinary team which integrates the twelve-step principles of self-help organizations, medical detoxification, individual and group counseling, family therapy, psychological assessment, psychiatric support, stress management, dietary planning, vocational counseling and pastoral support. Highland Ridge also offers extensive aftercare assistance at programs strategically located in areas of client concentration throughout the United States. Highland Ridge maintains a comprehensive array of professional affiliations to meet the needs of discharged patients and other individuals not admitted to the hospital for treatment.
 

     Highland Ridge periodically conducts or participates in research projects. Highland Ridge was the site of a research project conducted by the University of Utah Medical School. The research explored the relationship between individual motivation and treatment outcomes. The research was regulated and reviewed by the Human Subjects Review Board of the University of Utah and was subject to federal standards that delineated the nature and scope of research involving human subjects. Highland Ridge benefited from this research by expanding its professional relationships within the medical school community and by applying the findings of the research to improve the quality of services the Company delivers.

MOUNT REGIS - Mount Regis is a 25-bed, freestanding alcohol and drug treatment center located in Salem, Virginia, near Roanoke. The Company acquired the center in 1987. It is the oldest of its kind in the Roanoke Valley. Mount Regis is accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, Mount Regis operates Changes, an outpatient clinic, at its Salem, Virginia location. The Changes clinic provides structured intensive outpatient treatment for patients who have been discharged from Mount Regis and for patients who do not need the formal structure of a residential treatment program. The program is licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia and approved for reimbursement by major insurance carriers.
 

Similar to Highland Ridge, the programs at Mount Regis Center are sensitive to the needs of women and minorities. The majority of Mount Regis clients are from Virginia and surrounding states. In addition, because of its relatively close proximity and accessibility to New York, Mount Regis has been able to attract an increasing number of referrals from New York-based labor unions. Mount Regis has also been able to attract a growing number of clients through the Internet. Mount Regis has established programs that allow the Company to better treat dual diagnosis patients (those suffering from both substance abuse and psychiatric disorders), cocaine addiction and relapse-prone patients. The multi-disciplinary case management, aftercare and family programs are key to the prevention of relapse.

General Psychiatric Facilities

Introduction

     The Company believes that its proven ability to provide high quality, cost-effective care in the treatment of substance abuse has enabled it to grow in the related behavioral health field of psychiatric treatment. The Company’s main advantage is its ability to provide an integrated delivery system of inpatient and outpatient care. As a result of integration, the Company is better able to manage and track patients.
 
     The Company offers inpatient and partial hospitalization psychiatric services and residential treatment to adjudicated juveniles through Harbor Oaks Hospital. The Company also provides residential treatment to adjudicated juveniles through Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc. The Company also provides inpatient psychiatric services through Seven Hills Hospital. The Company also currently operates seven outpatient psychiatric facilities.

     The Company’s philosophy at these facilities is to provide the most appropriate and efficacious care with the least restrictive modality of care. An attending physician, a case manager and a clinical team, work together to manage the care plan. The integrated delivery system allows for better patient tracking and follow-up and fewer repeat procedures and therapeutic or diagnostic errors. Qualified, dedicated staff members take a full history on each new patient, and through test and evaluation procedures, they provide a thorough diagnostic write-up of the patient’s condition. In addition, a physician does a complete physical examination for each new patient. This information allows the caregivers to determine which treatment alternative is best suited for the patient and to design an individualized recovery program for the patient.

     Managed health care organizations, state agencies, physicians and patients themselves refer patients to our facilities. These facilities have a patient population ranging from children as young as five years of age to senior citizens. Compared to the substance abuse facilities, the psychiatric facilities treat a larger percentage of female patients.

HARBOR OAKS - The Company acquired Harbor Oaks Hospital, a 73 bed psychiatric hospital located in New Baltimore, Michigan, approximately 20 miles northeast of Detroit, in September 1994. Harbor Oaks Hospital is licensed by the Michigan Department of Community Health, Medicare certified and accredited by The Joint Commission. Harbor Oaks provides inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment to children, adolescents and adults. Harbor Oaks Hospital has treated clients from Macomb, Oakland and St. Clair counties and has expanded its coverage area to include Wayne, Sanilac and Livingston counties.

     Harbor Oaks has become a primary provider for Medicaid patients from Wayne, Macomb and St. Clair counties. Utilization of a short-term crisis management model in conjunction with strong case management has allowed Harbor Oaks to successfully enter this segment of the market. Reimbursement for these services is comparable to traditional managed care payors. Given the current climate of public sector treatment availability, Harbor Oaks anticipates continued growth in this sector of the business.

     Harbor Oaks Hospital also operates a 26-bed residential unit serving adolescents with substance abuse problems and co-existing mental disorders who have been adjudicated and who have been referred or required to undergo psychiatric treatment by a court or family service agency. The patients in the program range from 13 to 18 years of age. The program provides patients with educational and recreational activities and adult life functioning skills as well as treatment. Typically, a patient is admitted to the unit for an initial period of 30 days to six months. A case review is done for any patient still in the program at six months, and regularly thereafter, to determine if additional treatment is required. In June of 2007 the Company received State approval to expand the number of beds in the program to 26. This expansion was completed in the first quarter of Fiscal 2008.
     
     In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, Harbor Oaks began operating an outpatient site near New Baltimore, Michigan. Its close proximity to the hospital allows for a continuum of care for patients after discharge.
 

DETROIT BEHAVIORAL INSTITUTE – Detroit Behavioral Institute operates a 50-bed residential facility, located in downtown Detroit, serving adolescents with a substance abuse problem and a co-existing mental disorder who are seriously emotionally disturbed adjudicated juveniles and who have been referred or required to undergo psychiatric treatment by a court or family service agency. The facility includes two units, a thirty bed male unit that opened in November 2004 and a twenty bed female unit that opened in October 2005. The patients in the program range from 12 to 17 years of age, with a minimum IQ of 70. The program provides individual, group and family therapy sessions for medication orientation, anger management, impulse control, grief and loss, family interactions, coping skills, stress management, substance abuse, discharge and aftercare planning (home visits and community reintegration), recreation therapy and sexual/physical abuse counseling as required. They learn life skills and receive an education from certified teachers. Typically, a patient is admitted to the unit for an initial period of 30 days to six months. A case review including a psychiatric evaluation is done for any patient still in the program at six months, and each subsequent six-month period thereafter and goals are established for their transition back into the community by a treatment team which includes licensed counselors, nursing staff, certified teachers, psychiatrists, youth specialists and other program personnel. During the fiscal year ended June 2008, the Company was approved by the State to operate a school for the education of its residents for the second consecutive year. This allows the Company to integrate the residents’ education with their treatment and provide the best education possible without transporting the individuals to another site. The Company expects the approval to continue for the foreseeable future.
 

SEVEN HILLS HOSPITAL - The Company participated in the construction of the Seven Hills Hospital through its relationship with Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC. The construction was completed and the facility was opened in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Seven Hills Hospital, a 55-bed psychiatric hospital located in Las Vegas, Nevada, began admitting patients on May 14, 2008. Seven Hills Hospital is licensed by the State of Nevada and is currently seeking accreditation by The Joint Commission and Medicare certification. Seven Hills provides services to clients covered under the capitated contracts of the Company’s other subsidiary Harmony Healthcare. Seven Hills provides inpatient psychiatric care to adults only at this time but expects to expand its patient base and programs over the next fiscal year to include partial hospitalization and residential treatment.

HARMONY HEALTHCARE - Harmony Healthcare, which consists of three psychiatric clinics in Nevada, provides outpatient psychiatric care to children, adolescents and adults in the local area. Harmony also operates employee assistance programs for railroads, health care companies and several large gaming companies including Boyd Gaming Corporation, the MGM Grand and the Venetian with a rapid response program to provide immediate assistance 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Harmony also provides outpatient psychiatric care and inpatient psychiatric case management through capitated rate behavioral health carve-outs with Behavioral Health Options and PacifiCare Insurance. The agreement with Behavioral Health Options is a significant contract which began in January 2007 and caused a major expansion of Harmony to better serve the contract population.

NORTH POINT-PIONEER, INC. – North Point consists of three outpatient clinical offices strategically and geographically located to serve a large and populous region in Michigan. The clinics provide outpatient psychiatric and substance abuse treatment to children, adolescents and adults operating under the name Pioneer Counseling Center. The three clinics are located in close proximity to the Harbor Oaks facility, which allows for more efficient integration of inpatient and outpatient services and provides for a larger coverage area and the ability to share personnel which results in cost savings. In the first fiscal quarter of 2005, North Point was awarded a contract with Macomb County Office of Substance Abuse (MCOSA) to provide behavioral health outpatient and intensive outpatient services for indigent and Medicaid clients residing in Macomb County. The contract is renewable annually with an estimated value of $55,000 annually.

Call Center Operations

WELLPLACE, INC. - In the spring of 1994, the Company began to operate a crisis hotline service under contract with a major transportation client. The hotline, Wellplace, shown as contract support services on the accompanying statement of operations, is a national, 24-hour telephone service, which supplements the services provided by the client's Employee Assistance Programs. The services provided include information, crisis intervention, critical incidents coordination, employee counselor support, client monitoring, case management and health promotion. The hotline is staffed by counselors who refer callers to the appropriate professional resources for assistance with personal problems. Three major transportation companies subscribed to these services as of June 30, 2008. This operation is physically located in Highland Ridge Hospital, but a staff dedicated to Wellplace provides the services from a separate designated area of the Hospital. Wellplace also contracts with Wayne County Michigan to operate its call center. This call center is located in mid-town Detroit on the campus of the Detroit Medical Center and provides 24-hour crisis, eligibility and enrollment services for the Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Agency which oversees 56,000 lives or consumers for mental health services in Wayne County Michigan. Wellplace also operates a smaller contract to provide services for transportation and identification reimbursement for consumers. During fiscal 2006, Wellplace signed an agreement with a major government contractor to operate a smoking cessation quit line with Internet access. Wellplace has been providing services under this agreement since November 2005. Wellplace is currently working on the renewal of this contract which is slated to expire in September 2008. Wellplace’s primary focus is now on growing its operations to take advantage of current opportunities and capitalize on the economies of scale in providing similar services to other companies and government units.

Research Operations

PIVOTAL RESEARCH CENTERS, INC. - Pivotal Research Centers works with major pharmaceutical companies to assist in the study of the effects of certain investigational medication in the treatment of specific illnesses. In April 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest in Pivotal Research Centers, LLC, thereby expanding the Company’s research operations. Pivotal performs all phases of clinical research for Phase I-IV drugs under development through three dedicated research sites, including a psychiatric research site. Pivotal recently expanded its Phase I capabilities to a new 15-bed facility.

Business Strategy

The Company’s objective is to become the leading national provider of behavioral health services.

The Company focuses its marketing efforts on “safety-sensitive” industries such as transportation and medical. This focus results in customized outcome oriented programs that the Company believes produce overall cost savings to the patients and/or client organizations. The Company intends to leverage experience gained from providing services to customers in certain industries that it believes will enhance its selling efforts within these certain industries.

Marketing and Customers
 

The Company markets its substance abuse, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric health services both locally and nationally, primarily to safety sensitive industries, including transportation, manufacturing and healthcare services. Additionally, the Company markets its services in the gaming industry both in Nevada and nationally and its help line services nationally.

The Company employs four individuals dedicated to marketing the Company’s facilities, including one in the research division. Each facility performs marketing activities in its local region. The Senior Vice President of the Company coordinates the Company’s national marketing efforts. In addition, employees at certain facilities perform local marketing activities independent of the Senior Vice President. The Company, with the support of its owned integrated outpatient systems and management services, continues to pursue more at-risk contracts and outpatient, managed health care fee-for-service contracts. “At risk” contracts require that the Company provides all the clinically necessary behavioral health services for a group of people for a set fee per person per month. The Company currently has two at risk contracts with large insurance carriers, which require the Company to provide behavioral health services to a large number of its insured for a fixed fee. These at risk contracts represent less than 15% of the Company’s total gross revenues. In addition to providing excellent services and treatment outcomes, the Company will continue to negotiate pricing policies to attract patients for long-term intensive treatment which meet length of stay and clinical requirements established by insurers, managed health care organizations and the Company’s internal professional standards.

The Company’s integrated systems of comprehensive outpatient mental health programs complement the Company’s inpatient facilities. These outpatient programs are strategically located in Nevada, Virginia, Michigan, and Utah. They make it possible for the Company to offer wholly integrated, comprehensive, mental health services for corporations and managed care organizations on an at-risk or exclusive fee-for-service basis. Additionally, the Company operates Wellplace located in the Highland Ridge facility in Salt Lake City, Utah and in Detroit, Michigan. Wellplace provides clinical support, referrals, management and professional services for a number of the Company’s national contracts. It gives the Company the capacity to provide a complete range of fully integrated mental health services.

The Company provides services to employees of a variety of corporations including: Boyd Gaming Corporation, CSX Corporation, MGM Mirage, Union Pacific Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad Hospital Association and others.

In addition to its direct patient care services, the Company maintains its web site, Wellplace.com, which provides articles and information of interest to the general public as well as the behavioral health professional. The Company’s internet company also provides the added benefit of web availability of information for various Employee Assistance Program contracts held and serviced by those subsidiaries providing direct treatment services.

Competition

The Company’s substance abuse programs compete nationally with other health care providers, including general and chronic care hospitals, both non-profit and for-profit, other substance abuse facilities and short-term detoxification centers. Some competitors have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. The Company believes, however, that it can compete successfully with such institutions because of its success in treating poor prognosis patients. The Company will compete through its focus on such patients, its willingness to negotiate appropriate rates and its capacity to build and service corporate relationships.

The Company’s psychiatric facilities and programs compete primarily within the respective geographic area serviced by them. The Company competes with private doctors, hospital-based clinics, hospital-based outpatient services and other comparable facilities. The main reasons that the Company competes well are its integrated delivery and dual diagnosis programming. Integrated delivery provides for more efficient follow-up procedures and reductions in length of stay. Dual diagnosis programming provides a niche service for clients with a primary mental health and a secondary substance abuse diagnosis. The Company developed its dual diagnosis service in response to demand from insurers, employers and treatment facilities. The Company’s internet company provides the competitive edge for service information and delivery for our direct patient care programs.

The Company’s pharmaceutical research operations compete for studies with other research companies located in the same areas as our research offices in Arizona and Utah.

Revenue Sources and Contracts

The Company has entered into relationships with numerous employers, labor unions and third-party payors to provide services to their employees and members for the treatment of substance abuse and psychiatric disorders. In addition, the Company admits patients who seek treatment directly without the intervention of third parties and whose insurance does not cover these conditions in circumstances where the patient either has adequate financial resources to pay for treatment directly or is eligible to receive free care at one of the Company’s facilities. The Company’s psychiatric patients either have insurance or pay at least a portion of treatment costs based on their ability to pay. Most of our patients are covered by insurance. Free treatment provided each year amounts to less than 5% of the Company’s total patient days.

Each contract is negotiated separately, taking into account the insurance coverage provided to employees and members, and, depending on such coverage, may provide for differing amounts of compensation to the Company for different subsets of employees and members. The charges may be capitated, or fixed with a maximum charge per patient day, and, in the case of larger clients, frequently result in a negotiated discount from the Company’s published charges. The Company believes that such discounts are appropriate as they are effective in producing a larger volume of patient admissions. The Company treats non-contract patients and bills them on the basis of the Company’s standard per diem rates and for any additional ancillary services provided to them by the Company.

     Until fiscal 2008, the Company billed for its behavioral healthcare services at its inpatient and outpatient facilities using different software platforms for each type of service. During fiscal 2008, the Company converted all facilities providing behavioral health under insurance contracts to Meditech software. With Meditech, as with the previous software platforms, the charges are contractually adjusted at the time of billing using adjustment factors based on agreements or contracts with the insurance carriers and the specific plans held by the individuals as outlined above. This method may still require additional adjustment based on ancillary services provided and deductibles and copays due from the individuals, which are estimated at the time of admission based on information received from the individual. Adjustments to these estimates are recognized as adjustments to revenue in the period they are identified, usually when payment is received, and are not material to the financial statements.

The Company’s policy is to collect estimated co-payments and deductibles at the time of admission in the form of an admission deposit. Payments are made by way of cash, check or credit card. For inpatient services, if the patient does not have sufficient resources to pay the estimated co-payment in advance, the Company’s policy is to allow payment to be made in three installments, one third due upon admission, one third due upon discharge and the balance due 30 days after discharge. At times the patient is not physically or mentally stable enough to comprehend

or agree to any financial arrangement. In this case the Company will make arrangements with the patient once his or her condition is stabilized. At times, this situation will require the Company to extend payment arrangements beyond the three payment method previously outlined. Whenever extended payment arrangements are made, the patient, or the individual who is financially responsible for the patient, is required to sign a promissory note to the Company, which includes interest on the balance due. For outpatient services, the Company’s policy is to charge a $5.00 billing/statement fee for any accounts still outstanding at month end.
 

The Company’s days sales outstanding (“DSO”) are significantly different for each type of service and each facility based on the payors for each service. Overall, the DSO for the combined operations of the Company was 68, 73, and 65 days for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 respectively. The change in pharmaceutical studies carried over from last year and active in this year caused the day’s outstanding to continue to increase in that segment of our business. This increase was offset by a decrease in the DSO for the treatment services division which resulted from the large capitated contract which started in January, 2007 and pays within 45 days. Contract Services DSO’s fluctuate dramatically by the delay in payment of a few days for any of our large contracts. There was such a delay in payments for the Michigan call center at the end of fiscal 2006, artificially inflating the DSO’s for the period.

DSO’s for each year for each business segment are as follows:

Fiscal	Treatment	Pharmaceutical	Contract
Year End	Services	Services	Services
06/30/2008	59	156	43
06/30/2007	66	155	41
06/30/2006	91	93	51

Amounts pending approval from Medicare or Medicaid, as with all other third party payors, are maintained on the receivables aging based on the discharge date of the patient, while appeals are made for payment. If accounts remain unpaid, when all levels of appeal have been exhausted, accounts are written off. Where possible, the Company will turn to the patient or the responsible party to seek reimbursement and send the account to collections before writing the account off.

Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering into sole source contracts with healthcare providers, which could limit our ability to obtain patients. Private insurers, managed care organizations and, to a lesser extent, Medicaid and Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific services, including mental health and substance abuse services, and establish small, specialized networks of providers for such services at fixed reimbursement rates. We are not aware of any lost business as a result of sole source contracts to date, as we have not been advised by any payor that we have been eliminated as a provider from their system based on an exclusivity contract with another provider. Continued growth in the use of carve-out systems could materially adversely affect our business to the extent we are not selected to participate in such smaller specialized networks or if the reimbursement rate is not adequate to cover the cost of providing the service.

Quality Assurance and Utilization Review
 

The Company has established comprehensive quality assurance programs at all of its facilities. These programs are designed to ensure that each facility maintains standards that meet or exceed requirements imposed upon the Company with the objective of providing high-quality specialized treatment services to its patients. To this end, The Joint Commission surveys and accredits the Company’s inpatient facilities, except the newly opened Seven Hills Hospital which will seek The Joint Commission accreditation in the near future and Detroit Behavioral Institute which is accredited through the Council on Accreditation (“COA”). The Company’s outpatient facilities comply with the standards of National Commission on Quality Assurance (“NCQA”) although the facilities are not NCQA certified. The Company’s outpatient facilities in Michigan are certified by the American Osteopathic Association (“AOA”), which is a nationally accepted accrediting body, recognized by payors as the measure of quality in outpatient treatment. The Company’s professional staff, including physicians, social workers, psychologists, nurses, dietitians, therapists and counselors, must meet the minimum requirements of licensure related to their specific discipline, in addition to each facility’s own internal quality assurance criteria as adopted by the facility for operational purposes and approved by the Executive Committee. The Company participates in the federally mandated National Practitioners Data Bank, which monitors professional accreditation nationally. In each facility, continuing quality improvement (CQI) activity is reviewed quarterly by the Company’s corporate compliance unit and quality assurance activities are approved by the executive committee.

In response to the increasing reliance of insurers and managed care organizations upon utilization review methodologies, the Company has adopted a comprehensive documentation policy to satisfy relevant reimbursement criteria. Additionally, the Company has developed an internal case management system, which provides assurance that services rendered to individual patients are medically appropriate and reimbursable. Implementation of these internal policies has been integral to the success of the Company’s strategy of providing services to relapse-prone, higher acuity patients.

Government Regulation

The Company’s business and the development and operation of the Company’s facilities are subject to extensive federal, state and local government regulation. In recent years, an increasing number of legislative proposals have been introduced at both the national and state levels that would affect major reforms of the health care system if adopted. Among the proposals under consideration are reforms to increase the availability of group health insurance, to increase reliance upon managed care, to bolster competition and to require that all businesses offer health insurance coverage to their employees. Some states have already instituted laws that mandate employers offer health insurance plans to their employees. The Company cannot predict whether additional legislative proposals will be adopted and, if adopted, what effect, if any, such proposals would have on the Company’s business.

     In addition, both the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy, intermediary determinations and governmental funding restrictions, all of which may materially increase or decrease the rate of program payments to health care facilities. Since 1983, Congress has consistently attempted to limit the growth of federal spending under the Medicare and Medicaid programs and will likely continue to do so. Additionally, congressional spending reductions for the Medicaid program involving the issuance of block grants to states is likely to hasten the reliance upon managed care as a potential savings mechanism of the Medicaid program. As a result of this reform activity, the Company can give no assurance that payments under such programs will in the future remain at a level comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to such patients.
 

Control of the healthcare industry exercised by federal, state and local regulatory agencies can increase costs, establish maximum reimbursement levels and limit expansion. Our Company and the health care industry are subject to rapid regulatory change with respect to licensure and conduct of operations at existing facilities, construction of new facilities, acquisition of existing facilities, the addition of new services, compliance with physical plant safety and land use requirements, implementation of certain capital expenditures, reimbursement for services rendered and periodic government inspections. Governmental budgetary restrictions have resulted in limited reimbursement rates in the healthcare industry including our Company. As a result of these restrictions, we cannot be certain that payments under government programs will remain at a level comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to such patients. In addition, many states, including the State of Michigan, where the majority of our Medicaid revenue is generated, are considering reductions in state Medicaid budgets.

Health Planning Requirements

Most of the states in which the Company operates have health planning statutes which require that prior to the addition or construction of new beds, the addition of new services, the acquisition of certain medical equipment or certain capital expenditures in excess of defined levels, a state health planning agency must determine that a need exists for such new or additional beds, new services, equipment or capital expenditures. These state determinations of need or certificate of need (“DoN”) programs are designed to enable states to participate in certain federal and state health related programs and to avoid duplication of health services. DoN’s typically are issued for a specified maximum expenditure, must be implemented within a specified time frame and often include elaborate compliance procedures for amendment or modification, if needed.

Licensure and Certification

All of the Company’s facilities must be licensed by state regulatory authorities. The Company’s Harbor Oaks facility is certified for participation as a provider in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

The Company’s initial and continued licensure of its facilities, and certification to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, depends upon many factors, including accommodations, equipment, services, patient care, safety, personnel, physical environment, the existence of adequate policies, procedures and controls and the regulatory process regarding the facility’s initial licensure. Federal, state and local agencies survey facilities on a regular basis to determine whether such facilities are in compliance with governmental operating and health standards and conditions for participating in government programs. Such surveys include review of patient utilization and inspection of standards of patient care. The Company has procedures in place to ensure that its facilities are operated in compliance with all such standards and conditions. To the extent these standards are not met, however, the license of a facility could be restricted, suspended or revoked, or a facility could be decertified from the Medicare or Medicaid programs.

Medicare Reimbursement
 

Currently, the only facility of the Company that receives Medicare reimbursement is Harbor Oaks. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, 12.7% of revenues for Harbor Oaks were derived from medicare programs. Revenue from Harbor Oaks accounted for 24.5% of the Company’s total net patient care revenues for fiscal 2008.

Effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2005, the prospective payment system (“PPS”) was brought into effect for all psychiatric services paid through the Medicare program. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, Medicare reimbursement rates were based 25% on provisional rates that are adjusted retroactively based on annual cost reports filed by the Company with Medicare and 75% on the new prospective payment rates. The Company will continue to file cost reports to Medicare to determine the new TEFRA (Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982) portion of the rate for the following year. These cost reports are routinely audited on an annual basis. Activity and cost report expense differences are reviewed on an interim basis and adjustments are made to the net expected collectable revenue accordingly. The Company believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any adjustments that might result from the outcome of Medicare audits. Approximately 29%, 24% and 23% of the Company’s total revenue is derived from Medicare and Medicaid payors for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 respectively. Differences between the amounts provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the year of the settlement. To date, settlement adjustments have not been material.

In order to receive Medicare reimbursement, each participating facility must meet the applicable conditions of participation set forth by the federal government relating to the type of facility, its equipment, its personnel and its standards of medical care, as well as compliance with all state and local laws and regulations. In addition, Medicare regulations generally require that entry into such facilities be through physician referral. The Company must offer services to Medicare recipients on a non-discriminatory basis and may not preferentially accept private pay or commercially insured patients. The Company currently meets all of these conditions and requirements and has systems in place to assure compliance in the future.

Medicaid Reimbursement

Currently, the only facilities of the Company that receive reimbursement under any state Medicaid program are Harbor Oaks and Detroit Behavioral Institute. A portion of Medicaid costs is paid by states under the Medicaid program and the federal matching payments are not made unless the state’s portion is made. Accordingly, the timely receipt of Medicaid payments by a facility may be affected by the financial condition of the relevant state. For the period ended June 30, 2008, 25.7% of total net patient revenues of the Company were derived from Medicaid programs.

Harbor Oaks and Detroit Behavioral Institute are both participants in the Medicaid programs administered by the State of Michigan. The Company receives reimbursement on a per diem basis, inclusive of ancillary costs. The state determines the rate and adjusts it annually based on cost reports filed by the Company.

Fraud and Abuse Laws

Various federal and state laws regulate the business relationships and payment arrangements between providers and suppliers of health care services, including employment or service contracts, and investment relationships. These laws include the fraud and abuse provisions of the Medicare and Medicaid statutes as well as similar state statutes (collectively, the “Fraud and Abuse Laws”), which prohibit the payment, receipt, solicitation or offering of any direct or indirect remuneration intended to induce the referral of patients, and the ordering, arranging, or providing of covered services, items or equipment. Violations of these provisions may result in civil and criminal penalties and/or exclusion from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other government-sponsored programs. The federal government has issued regulations that set forth certain “safe harbors,” representing business relationships and payment arrangements that can safely be undertaken without violation of the federal Fraud and Abuse Laws. Failure to fall within a safe harbor does not constitute a per se violation of the federal Fraud and Abuse Laws. The Company believes that its business relationships and payment arrangements either fall within the safe harbors or otherwise comply with the Fraud and Abuse Laws.

The Company has an active compliance program in place with a corporate compliance officer and compliance liaisons at each facility and a toll free compliance hotline. Compliance in-services and trainings are conducted on a regular basis. Information on our compliance program and our hot line number is available to our employees on our intranet and to the public on our website at www.phc-inc.com .

Employees

As of August 25, 2008, the Company had 616 employees of which four were dedicated to marketing, 226 (49 part time and 2 seasonal) to finance and administration and 386 (155 part time and 23 contingent) to patient care.

The Company believes that it has been successful in attracting skilled and experienced personnel. Competition for such employees is intense, however, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain necessary qualified employees in the future. On July 31, 2003, the Company's largest facility, Harbor Oaks Hospital, with approximately 125 union eligible nursing and administrative employees, voted for union (UAW) representation. In December 2004, the Company and the UAW reached a collective bargaining agreement, which was ratified by the employees on December 8, 2004 and signed by the UAW and the Company in January 2005. This agreement was renewed and will expire in December 2010. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 76% of the total number of employees of that subsidiary were covered by the collective bargaining agreement. In addition, in January, 2007 the Company’s largest out-patient facility, Harmony Healthcare, with approximately 43 union eligible employees, voted for union (Teamsters) representation. In April, 2007 the Company and Teamsters reached a collective bargaining Agreement, which was signed by Teamsters on April 26, 2007 and the Company on April 30, 2007 to be effective January 1, 2007 and expiring on January 1, 2010. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 25% of the total number of employees of that subsidiary were covered by the collective bargaining agreement.

The limited number of healthcare professionals in the areas in which the Company operates may create staffing shortages. The Company’s success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, particularly skilled health care personnel, which are in short supply. The Company faces competition for such personnel from governmental agencies, health care providers and other companies and is constantly increasing its employee benefit programs, and related costs, to maintain required levels of skilled professionals. As a result of staffing shortages, the Company uses professional placement services to supply it with a pool of professionals from which to choose. These individuals generally are higher skilled, seasoned individuals who require higher salaries, richer benefit plans, and in some instances, require relocation. The Company has also entered into contracts with agencies to provide short-term interim staffing in addition to placement services. These additional costs impact the Company’s profitability.

Insurance

Each of the Company’s subsidiaries maintains professional liability insurance policies with coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the Company has maintained the insurance coverage, which was in place for Pivotal Research Centers, LLC by its former owners of $3,000,000 per claim and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. In addition to this coverage, all of the non-Pivotal subsidiaries collectively maintain a $20,000,000 umbrella policy shared by all facilities. In addition, each of these entities maintains general liability insurance coverage in similar amounts, as well as property insurance coverage.

The Company maintains $1,000,000 of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage and business owners' liability coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $2,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company believes, based on its experience, that its insurance coverage is adequate for its business and, although cost has escalated in recent years, that it will continue to be able to obtain adequate coverage.

Acquisition and Expansion
 

     If we acquire new businesses or expand our businesses, the operating costs may be far greater than revenues for a significant period of time. The operating losses and negative cash flow associated with start-up operations or acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and liquidity unless and until such facilities are fully integrated with our other operations and become self sufficient. Until such time, we may be required to borrow at higher rates and less favorable terms to supplement short term operating cash flow shortages.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
 

OPERATING RISKS

AGING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE COULD RESULT IN OUR INABILITY TO COLLECT RECEIVABLES REQUIRING US TO INCREASE OUR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RESERVE WHICH WOULD DECREASE OUR NET INCOME AND WORKING CAPITAL

As our accounts receivable age and become uncollectible our cash flow is negatively impacted. Our accounts receivable from patient accounts (net of allowance for bad debts) were $6,474,733 at June 30, 2008 compared with $6,559,387 at June 30, 2007. As we expand, we will be required to seek payment from a larger number of payors and the amount of accounts receivable will likely increase. Because the behavioral health industry is typically a difficult collection environment, we have focused on better accounts receivable management through increased staff, standardization of some procedures for collecting receivables and a more aggressive collection policy in order to keep the change in receivables consistent with the change in revenue. We have also established a more aggressive reserve policy, allowing greater amounts of reserves as accounts age from the date of billing. If the amount of receivables, which eventually become uncollectible, exceeds such reserves, we could be materially adversely affected. The following chart represents our Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and Bad Debt Expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006:

		Accounts Receivable		Allowance for doubtful accounts		Bad Debt Expense
June 30, 2008	$	8,705,104	$	2,230,371	$	1,311,431
June 30, 2007		10,323,972		3,764,585		1,933,499
June 30, 2006		10,096,061		3,100,586		1,912,516

NEGATIVE CASH FLOW COULD ARISE AS A RESULT OF SLOW GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO BORROW ADDITIONAL FUNDS AT UNFAVORABLE RATES AND AFFECT OUR NET INCOME, WORKING CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

The concentration of accounts receivable due from government payors could create a severe cash flow problem should these agencies fail to make timely payment. We had substantial receivables from Medicaid and Medicare of approximately $1,307,000 at June 30, 2008 and $1,811,600 at June 30, 2007, which would create a cash flow problem should these agencies defer or fail to make reimbursement payments as due, which would require us to borrow at unfavorable rates or pay additional interest as overline fees on current debt instruments. This would result in lower net income for the same services provided and lower earnings per share.

NEGATIVE CASH FLOW COULD IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO MEET OBLIGATIONS WHEN DUE WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO BORROW ADDITIONAL FUNDS AT UNFAVORABLE RATES AND AFFECT OUR NET INCOME

If managed care organizations delay approving treatment, or reduce the patient length of stay number of visits or reimbursement, our Company’s ability to meet operating expenses is affected. As managed care organizations and insurance companies adopt policies that limit the length of stay for substance abuse treatment, our business is materially adversely affected since our revenues and cash flow go down and our fixed operating expenses continue or increase based on the additional resources required to collect accounts receivable.

Reimbursement for substance abuse and psychiatric treatment from private insurers is largely dependent on our ability to substantiate the medical necessity of treatment. The process of substantiating a claim often takes up to four months and sometimes longer; as a result, we experience significant delays in the collection of amounts reimbursable by third-party payors, which requires us to increase staff to pursue payment and adversely affects our working capital condition. This causes amounts borrowed on our accounts receivable revolver to remain outstanding for longer periods of time resulting in higher interest expense in addition to the reduced income resulting from the shorter lengths of stay, which combined reduce net income and earnings per share.

POTENTIAL STAFFING SHORTAGES COULD REQUIRE US TO INCREASE OUR EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND REDUCE OUR NET INCOME

The limited number of healthcare professionals in the areas in which we operate may create staffing shortages. Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, particularly skilled health care personnel, which are in short supply. We face competition for such personnel from governmental agencies, health care providers and other companies and are constantly increasing our employee benefit programs, and related costs, to maintain required levels of skilled professionals. As a result of staffing shortages, we use professional placement services to supply us with a pool of professionals from which to choose. These individuals generally are higher skilled, seasoned individuals who require higher salaries, richer benefit plans and in some instances, relocation. We have also entered into contracts with agencies to provide short-term interim staffing in addition to placement services. These additional costs impact our profitability.

In December 2004, the Company’s largest inpatient facility voted for UAW representation. Approximately 76% of the staff of the facility are members of the UAW and could vote to strike when the contract comes up for renewal in December 2010. In April 2007, the Company’s largest outpatient operations voted for Teamsters representation. Approximately 25% of the staff of the facility are members of Teamsters and could vote to strike when the contract comes up for renewal in January 2010. A strike vote on the part of either of these operations would negatively impact profitability by requiring the Company to transfer patients to competing facilities or providers or pay high short term staffing rates. This could also negatively impact the Company’s reputation in the community creating the need for increased marketing.

RELIANCE ON KEY CLIENTS, THE LOSS OF ANY OF WHICH WOULD REDUCE OUR NET REVENUES AND OUR NET INCOME

The Company relies on contracts with more than ten clients to maintain patient census at its inpatient facilities and provide patients for our outpatient operations and our employee assistance programs. The loss of any of such contracts would impact our ability to meet our fixed costs. We have entered into relationships with large employers, health care institutions, insurance companies and labor unions to provide treatment for psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency and substance abuse in conjunction with employer-sponsored employee assistance programs. The employees of such institutions may be referred to us for treatment, the cost of which is reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis. Approximately 25% of our total revenue is derived from these clients. No one of these large employers, health care institutions, insurance companies or labor unions individually accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated revenues, but the loss of any of these clients would require us to expend considerable effort to replace patient referrals and would result in revenue losses and attendant loss in income.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO EXPAND, REDUCE THE ALLOWABLE REIMBURSEMENT TO THE COMPANY AND REDUCE OUR NET INCOME

Control of the healthcare industry exercised by federal, state and local regulatory agencies can increase costs, establish maximum reimbursement levels and limit expansion. Our Company and the health care industry are subject to rapid regulatory change with respect to licensure and conduct of operations at existing facilities, construction of new facilities, acquisition of existing facilities, the addition of new services, compliance with physical plant safety and land use requirements, implementation of certain capital expenditures, reimbursement for services rendered and periodic government inspections. Governmental budgetary restrictions have resulted in limited reimbursement rates in the healthcare industry including our Company. As a result of these restrictions we cannot be certain that payments under government programs will remain at a level comparable to the present level or be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to such patients. In addition, many states, including the State of Michigan where the majority of our Medicaid Revenue is generated, are considering reductions in state Medicaid budgets, which may be reflected through more limited access, lower rates, and higher State imposed utilization assessment fees.

SOLE SOURCE CONTRACTING BY MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS MAY REDUCE OUR AVAILABLE PATIENTS BY ELIMINATING OUR ABILITY TO SERVICE THEM

Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering into sole source contracts with healthcare providers, which could limit our ability to obtain patients. Private insurers, managed care organizations and, to a lesser extent, Medicaid and Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific services, including mental health and substance abuse services, and establish small, specialized networks of providers for such services at fixed reimbursement rates. We are not aware of any lost business as a result of sole source contracts to date, as we have not been advised by any payor that we have been eliminated as a provider from their system based on an exclusivity contract with another provider. Continued growth in the use of carve-out systems could materially adversely affect our business to the extent we are not selected to participate in such smaller specialized networks or if the reimbursement rate is not adequate to cover the cost of providing the service.

ACQUISITION AND EXPANSION COULD RESULT IN NEGATIVE CASH FLOW WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO BORROW ADDITIONAL FUNDS AT UNFAVORABLE RATES AND AFFECT OUR NET INCOME

If we acquire new businesses or expand our businesses, the operating costs may be far greater than revenues for a significant period of time. The operating losses and negative cash flow associated with start-up operations or acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and liquidity unless and until such facilities are fully integrated with our other operations and become self sufficient. Until such time we may be required to borrow at higher rates and less favorable terms to supplement short term operating cash flow shortages.

MANAGEMENT RISKS

CONTROL OF THE COMPANY PROVIDES THE PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER WITH THE POWER TO APPROVE ALL TRANSACTIONS AND CONTROL THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITHOUT INPUT OF OTHER SHAREHOLDERS

     Bruce A. Shear is in control of the Company since he is entitled to elect and replace a majority of the board of directors. Bruce Shear and his affiliates own and control 92.9% of the Class B Common Stock, which elects three of the five members of the Board of Directors. Bruce Shear can establish, maintain and control business policy and decisions by virtue of his control of the election of the majority of the members of the board of directors.

INABILITY TO RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL, COULD AFFECT OUR CLIENT RELATIONS AND THUS REDUCE OUR REVENUE AND NET INCOME

Retention of key personnel with knowledge of key contracts and clients is essential to the success of the Company. PHC is highly dependent on the principal members of its management and professional staff, who are: Bruce A. Shear, PHC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert H. Boswell, PHC’s Senior Vice President and other members of PHC’s management and their continued relationship with key clients.

We do not anticipate any key member of management will leave the Company but do have a key man life insurance policy on Mr. Shear.

MARKET RISKS

THE COMPANY EXPECTS ITS STOCK PRICE TO BE VOLATILE

The market price of the Company’s common stock has been volatile in the past. The shares have sold at prices varying between a low of $2.00 and a high of $3.78 from July 2006 through June 2008. Trading prices may continue to fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, including the following:

·      quarterly variations in operating results;

·      new products, services and strategic developments by us or our competitors;

·      developments in our relationships with our key clients;

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties and our future results could differ significantly from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.

The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006. It should be read in conjunction with the operating statistics (Part I, Item 1) and selected financial data (Part II, Item 6) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview
 

     The Company presently provides behavioral health care services through two substance abuse treatment centers, two psychiatric hospitals, a residential treatment facility and seven outpatient psychiatric centers (collectively called "treatment facilities"). The Company’s revenue for providing behavioral health services through these facilities is derived from contracts with managed care companies, Medicare, Medicaid, state agencies, railroads, gaming industry corporations and individual clients. The profitability of the Company is largely dependent on the level of patient census and the payer mix at these treatment facilities. Patient census is measured by the number of days a client remains overnight at an inpatient facility or the number of visits or encounters with clients at outpatient clinics. Payor mix is determined by the source of payment to be received for each client being provided billable services. The Company’s administrative expenses do not vary greatly as a percentage of total revenue but the percentage tends to decrease slightly as revenue increases. The Company’s research division, Pivotal Research Centers, Inc., contracts with major manufacturers of pharmaceuticals to assist in the study of the effects of certain pharmaceuticals in the treatment of specific illnesses through its clinics in Utah and Arizona.

     The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation governing, among other things, licensure and certification, conduct of operations, audit and retroactive adjustment of prior government billings and reimbursement. In addition, there are on-going debates and initiatives regarding the restructuring of the health care system in its entirety. The extent of any regulatory changes and their impact on the Company’s business is unknown. The current administration has put forth proposals to mandate equality in the benefits available to those individuals suffering from mental illness (The Parity Act). This legislation may improve access to the Company’s programs. Managed care has had a profound impact on the Company's operations, in the form of shorter lengths of stay, extensive certification of benefits requirements and, in some cases, reduced payment for services.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, income tax valuation allowances, and the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue recognition and accounts receivable:
 

Patient care revenues and accounts receivable are recorded at established billing rates or at the amount realizable under agreements with third-party payors, including Medicaid and Medicare. Revenues under third-party payor agreements are subject to examination and contractual adjustment, and amounts realizable may change due to periodic changes in the regulatory environment. Provisions for estimated third party payor settlements are provided in the period the related services are rendered. Differences between the amounts provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the period of settlement. Amounts due as a result of cost report settlements are recorded and listed separately on the consolidated balance sheets as “Other receivables” or “Other payables”. The provision for contractual allowances is deducted directly from revenue and the net revenue amount is recorded as accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts does not include the contractual allowances.

The Company currently has two “at-risk” contracts. The contracts call for the Company to provide for all of the inpatient and outpatient behavioral health needs of the insurance carrier’s enrollees in a specified area for a fixed monthly fee per member per month. Revenues are recorded monthly based on this formula and the expenses related to providing the services under these contracts are recorded as incurred. The Company provides as much of the care directly and, through utilization review, monitors closely, all inpatient and outpatient services not provided directly. The contracts are considered “at-risk” because the cost of providing the services, including payments to third-party providers for services rendered, could equal or exceed the total amount of the revenue recorded.

All revenues reported by the Company are shown net of estimated contractual adjustment and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the contractual adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated, appropriate adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in accordance with the AICPA “Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organizations.” Net contractual adjustments recorded in fiscal 2008 for revenue booked in prior years resulted in an increase in net revenue of approximately $48,504. Net contractual adjustments recorded in fiscal 2007 for revenue booked in prior years resulted in an increase in net revenue of approximately $26,430.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a Medicare cost report settlement of $360,588 was received, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a Medicare cost report settlement of $255,600 was received and in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, a Medicare cost report settlement of approximately $158,100 was received. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, no third party cost report settlements were expected or recorded.

Our accounts receivable systems are capable of providing an aging based on responsible party or payor. This information is critical in estimating our required allowance for bad debts. Below is revenue by payor and the accounts receivable aging information as of June 30, 2008, June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 for our treatment services segment.

     Pharmaceutical study revenue is recognized only after a pharmaceutical study contract has been awarded and the patient has been selected and accepted based on study criteria and billable units of service are provided. Where a contract requires completion of the study by the patient, no revenue is recognized until the patient completes the study program. All revenues and receivables from our research division are derived from pharmaceutical companies with no related bad debt allowance.

     Contract support service revenue is a result of fixed fee contracts to provide telephone support. Revenue for these services is recognized ratably over the service period. All revenues and receivables from our contract services division are based on a prorated monthly allocation of the total contract amount and usually paid within 30 days of the end of the month.

Allowance for doubtful accounts:
 

The provision for bad debts is calculated based on a percentage of each aged accounts receivable category beginning at 0-5% on current accounts and increasing incrementally for each additional 30 days the account remains outstanding until the account is over 360 days outstanding, at which time the provision is 80-100% of the outstanding balance. These percentages vary by facility based on each facility’s experience in and expectations for collecting older receivables. The Company compares this required reserve amount to the current “Allowance for doubtful accounts” to determine the required bad debt expense for the period. This method of determining the required “Allowance for doubtful accounts” has historically resulted in an allowance for doubtful accounts of 20% or greater of the total outstanding receivables balance.

Income Taxes:
 

      The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS No. 109 prescribes an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. The Company’s policy is to record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized in future periods. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized 100% of its federal deferred tax benefit based on past profitability and future projections. The total tax benefit recorded was $1,638,713. During fiscal 2007 the company recorded a provision for taxes of $1,147,000 and during fiscal 2008 the company recorded a provision for tax expense of $595,584. This represents a blended state and federal tax rate of approximately 65%.

     On July 1, 2007 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" – an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109. In accordance with FIN 48, we may establish reserves for tax uncertainties that reflect the use of the comprehensive model for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. Tax authorities periodically challenge certain transactions and deductions reported on our income tax returns. We do not expect the outcome of these examinations, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     Goodwill and other intangible assets are initially created as a result of business combinations or acquisitions. The Company makes significant estimates and assumptions, which are derived from information obtained from the management of the acquired businesses and the Company’s business plans for the acquired businesses in determining the value ascribed to the assets acquired. Critical estimates and assumptions used in the initial valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets include, but are not limited to: (i) future expected cash flows from services to be provided, customer contracts and relationships, and (ii) the acquired market position. These estimates and assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate because unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. If estimates and assumptions used to initially value goodwill and intangible assets prove to be inaccurate, ongoing reviews of the carrying values of such goodwill and intangible assets may indicate impairment which will require the Company to record an impairment charge in the period in which the Company identifies the impairment.

Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries

Included in other assets as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 is the Company’s investment in Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC of $399,735 and $400,000, respectively. This LLC holds the assets of the Seven Hills Hospital completed in May, 2008, being leased and operated by the Company’s subsidiary Seven Hills Hospital, Inc. Also included, as of June 30, 2008, is the Company’s investment in Behavioral Health Partners, LLC of $700,000. This LLC expects to begin construction on an out patient clinic expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 that will be leased by the Company’s Harmony facility.

 Results of Operations

      During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 the Company experienced continued lower than expected revenues in the research division due to delays in study starts. Although revenues increased in the patient treatment division, this increase was off-set in large by the start up costs related to the Company’s new inpatient facility Seven Hills Hospital which admitted its first patients in May 2008.

Year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to year ended June 30, 2007
 

The Company’s income from its operations decreased 62.8% to $1,120,125 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 from $3,009,904 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Net income decreased 80.7% to $324,728 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 from $1,682,283 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Income before taxes decreased 67.5% to $920,313 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 from $2,829,283 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This decrease is primarily the result of the impairment charge of $1,771,000 taken on the Pivotal intangible assets, pre-opening start up costs for Seven Hills Hospital of approximately $430,000 and an increase in the number of inpatient bed days under our capitated contracts. We also experienced continued lower pharmaceutical revenue as it is dependent on unpredictable study starts as shown in “Note K– Segment Information” in the accompanying financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Total revenues increased 11.51% to $50,320,127 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $45,127,477 for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Total net patient care revenue from all facilities increased 13.4% to $40,856,077 for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $36,022,529 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Patient days increased 3,722 days for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, which includes 502 bed days provided by Seven Hills Hospital for clients covered under the Harmony capitated contracts, which is recorded as intercompany revenue and eliminated in the consolidation. In fiscal 2008 the Company added residential beds at Harbor Oaks Hospital and opened Seven Hills Hospital, increasing our available beds from 180 to 244. These additional available beds accounted for approximately 51% of the increase in patient days for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The contracted rate for the residential beds is lower than that of our other facilities, which negatively impacts our revenue per patient day without positive changes in our census and payor mix at our other facilities. Net inpatient care revenue from inpatient psychiatric services increased 3.8% to $22,327,159 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $21,508,417 the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This increase is due to a change in payor mix to payors with more favorable approved rates and from the increase in residential treatment beds. Net partial hospitalization and outpatient care revenue increased 27.7% to $18,528,918 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $14,514,112 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to the new capitated contract which was only included for half of fiscal 2007 as it began in January, 2007 and high usage of step-down programs, such as partial hospitalization and outpatient programs, by managed care as a treatment alternative to inpatient care. Pharmaceutical study revenue increased 7.9% to $4,922,790 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $4,564,314 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This increase is due to the late opening of a significant Phase one study that was expected to start in fiscal 2007. Revenues remained relatively stable in our contract support services division, Wellplace. Wellplace revenues increased 0.1% to $4,541,260 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $4,540,634 for the year ended June 30, 2007. All revenues reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are shown net of estimated contractual adjustments and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the contractual adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated, appropriate adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organizations.

Patient care expenses, excluding research, increased by $2,394,843, or 12.1%, to $22,133,200 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $19,738,357 for the year ended June 30, 2007 due to the increase in available beds contributing to the increase in patient census at our inpatient facilities, the increased utilization of our out-patient services as a result of the new capitated rate contract and start up expenses for Seven Hills Hospital. Inpatient census increased by 4,219 patient days, 7.7%, for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007. Contract expense, which includes the cost of outside service providers for our capitated contracts, increased 84.3% to $3,291,891 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $1,785,697 for the year ended June 30, 2007 due to the new capitated rate contract effective January 1, 2007. This contract calls for the Company to provide behavioral health care for approximately 325,000 members. Payroll and service related consulting expenses, including agency nursing, increased 7.0% to $15,653,618 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $14,625,854 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Food and dietary expense increased 10.2% to $856,114 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $776,796 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Lab fees increased 33.0% to $254,965 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $191,761 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Laundry expense increased 52.9% to $95,434 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $62,430 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Patient transportation expense increased 14.4% to $292,118 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $255,394 for the year ended June 30, 2007. All of these increases were a result of increased patient census and increased utilization of our out patient services. We continue to closely monitor the ordering of all hospital supplies, food and pharmaceutical supplies but these expenses all relate directly to the number of days of inpatient services we provide and are expected to increase with higher patient census and out patient visits. (see “Operating Statistics” Part I, Item 1).

Patient care expenses for the research division increased 26.1% to $2,752,520 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $2,182,357 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This increase is due to the start of the Phase One study toward the end of the year after being delayed. Payroll and related direct care expenses increased 22.2% to $1,788,218 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $1,463,009 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Patient supplies expense decreased 23.2% to $19,059 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $24,830 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Other patient related expenses increased 35.9% to $943,503 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $694,518 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to the increased advertising to increase study enrollment and increased patient stipends with the Phase One study.

Cost of contract support services related to Wellplace increased 9.3% to $3,390,224 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $3,102,551 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Employee benefits increased 37.3% to $122,313 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $89,096 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Maintenance increased 95.8% to $124,200 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 from $63,425 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Primarily due to the maintenance charges on the new smoking cessation and credentialing software. Postage expense increased 86.9% to $17,177 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $9,189 for the year ended June 30 2007 as mailing requirements for the Wayne County contract increased.

Provision for doubtful accounts decreased 32.2% to $1,311,431 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 from $1,933,499 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This decrease is a result of decreases in the age of accounts receivable. The policy of the Company is to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the age of receivables resulting in higher bad debt expense as receivables age. The goal of the Company, given this policy, is to keep any changes in the provision for doubtful accounts at a rate lower than changes in aged accounts receivable.

The environment the Company operates in today makes collection of receivables, particularly older receivables, more difficult than in previous years. Accordingly, the Company has increased staff, standardized some procedures for collecting receivables and instituted a more aggressive collection policy, which has for the most part resulted in an overall decrease in the age of its accounts receivable. The Company’s gross receivables from direct patient care decreased 15.7% to $8,705,104 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $10,323,972 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The Company believes its reserve of approximately 26% is sufficient based on the age of the receivables. We continue to reserve for bad debt based on managed care denials and past difficulty in collections. The growth of managed care has negatively impacted reimbursement for behavioral health services with higher contractual adjustments and a higher rate of denials requiring higher reserves.

In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment loss on the intangible assets of the Company’s research segment of $1,771,000 based on the annual review and valuation of intangible assets. The Company determined the impairment during the routine annual review of intangible assets of the Company. The impairment represents the difference between the Company's carrying value of goodwill and its fair value at June 30, 2008.  The fair value was determined using a combination of approaches including trading multiple, acquisition multiple and the income approach . The impairment created an artificial increase in the effective income tax rate of the company because of the treatment of tax effect of this write-off as a long term deferred tax asset.

Total administrative expenses, excluding research, increased 21.6% to $15,464,544 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $12,722,007 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Payroll expense increased 19.6% to $6,119,688 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $5,115,894 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Payroll tax expense increased 17.7% to $417,023 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $354,229 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Employee benefits increased 16.5% to $788,309 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $676,464 for the year ended June 30, 2007. All of these increases in payroll and employee related expenses are a result of an increase in staff to accommodate the capitated rate contract which began in January 2007 and the opening of our new facility, Seven Hills Hospital, and greater competition for experienced health care administrative staff along with scheduled pay increases. Rent expense increased 30.5% to $1,879,896 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $1,440,342 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This increase is due to the opening of the new Horizon Ridge clinic and Seven Hills Hospital in Las Vegas and normal CPI increases included in our property leases. Depreciation expense increased 63.7% to $679,214 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $414,951 for the year ended June 30, 2007 due to the implementation of the Meditech software and new equipment purchased to facilitate its use. Transfer fee expense decreased 68.5% to $28,934 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $91,932 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the initial American Stock Exchange listing fee booked in the year ended June 30, 2007.

Total administrative expenses for the research division decreased 2.5% to $2,377,082 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $2,438,802 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Administrative payroll and taxes increased 8.6% to $1,058,279 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $974,695 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Advertising expense decreased 70.1% to $64,949 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $216,953 for the year ended June 30, 2007, as more studies this year have included advertising expense as reimbursable by the pharmaceutical companies as part of the study contracts. Insurance expense decreased 49.9% to $68,657 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $137,132 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as the Company was able to secure coverage at a lower rate. Rent expense decreased 8.5% to $442,311 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $483,223 for the year ended June 30, 2007 and office expense decreased 57.4% to $50,011 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $117,361 for the year ended June 30, 2007. These decreases are primarily the result of the closing of the Michigan office in the year ended June 30, 2007.

Interest expenses decreased 30.9% to $448,852 for the year ended June 30, 2008 from $649,166 for the year ended June 30, 2007.  This decrease is primarily due to the reduction in overall debt of the Company.

The Company’s provision for income taxes of $595,584 for the year ended June 30, 2008 represents a blended state and federal tax rate of approximately 64.7% compared to the prior years tax provision of $1,147,000 or 40.5% for the year ended June 30, 2007. This increase in effective tax rate is primarily due to the effect of the impairment write-down of intangibles in the deferred tax assets. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company reduced the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to its evaluation of the future likelihood of realization based on past profitability and future expectations of profitability, and recognized 100% of its available federal tax benefit of $1,638,713.

Year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to year ended June 30, 2006
 

The Company’s income from its operations decreased 5.48% to $3,009,904 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 from $3,184,426 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Net income decreased 58.4% to $1,682,283 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 from $4,045,482 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is the result of $1,147,000 in provision for tax expense recorded in fiscal 2007 as compared to $1,310,103 in net income tax benefit recorded in fiscal 2006. Income before taxes increased 3.43% to $2,829,283 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,735,379 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to (i) the two new contracts added during the year that are projected to increase gross revenues by $10,000,000 annually, once fully implemented, and (ii) increased patient census. This increase is significant since it includes start-up costs of these contracts of approximately $100,000 and uncapitalizable costs of the Meditech software implementation in progress and the construction in progress of the Seven Hills Hospital. We also experienced a down-turn in the pharmaceutical revenue as it is dependent on unpredictable study starts and largely volatile as shown in “Note K – Segment Information” in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Total revenues increased 18.72% to $45,127,477 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $38,013,092 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Total net patient care revenue from all facilities increased 29.29% to $36,022,529 for the year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $27,861,701 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Patient days increased over 5,291 days for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. In October 2005 the Company opened 20 additional residential beds, increasing our available beds from 160 to 180. These additional available beds accounted for approximately 74% of the increase in patient days for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The contracted rate for these residential beds is lower than that of our other facilities, which negatively impacts our revenue per patient day without positive changes in our census and payor mix at our other facilities. Net inpatient care revenue from inpatient psychiatric services increased 14.56% to $21,508,417 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $18,775,198 the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to a change in payor mix to payors with more favorable approved rates and from the increase in residential treatment beds. Net partial hospitalization and outpatient care revenue increased 59.7% to $14,514,112 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $9,086,503 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to the new capitated contract and high usage of these step-down programs by managed care as a treatment alternative to inpatient care. Pharmaceutical study revenue decreased 21.3% to $4,564,314 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $5,799,815 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is largely due to the delay in the start of some significant studies that were expected to start in the first quarter of the year but did not start until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and a large study that ran in the last half of fiscal 2006. Revenues increased in our contract support services division, Wellplace. Wellplace revenues increased 4.3% to $4,540,634 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $4,351,576 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase in revenue is primarily due to increases in contract rates. All revenues reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are shown net of estimated contractual adjustments and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the contractual adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated, appropriate adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organizations.

Patient care expenses, excluding research, increased by $5,468,817, or 38.3%, to $19,738,357 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $14,269,540 for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to the increase in available beds contributing to the increase in patient census at our inpatient facilities and the increased utilization of our out-patient services as a result of the new capitated rate contract. Inpatient census increased by 5,291 patient days, 10.7%, for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006. Contract expense, which includes the cost of outside service providers for our capitated contracts increased 650.6% to $1,785,697 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $237,899 for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to the new capitated rate contract effective January 1, 2007. This contract has an expected annual gross revenue of approximately $8,000,000 and calls for the Company to provide behavioral health care for approximately 325,000 members. Payroll and service related consultants including agency nursing increased 32.0% to $14,625,854 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $11,084,319 for the year ended June 30, 2006, food and dietary expense increased 1.0% to $776,796 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $769,367 for the year ended June 30, 2006, hospital supplies expense increased 30.3% to $93,204 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $71,539 for the year ended June 30, 2006, and other patient related expenses increased to 7.5% to $101,277 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $94,218 for the year ended June 30, 2006. All of these increases were a result of increased patient census and increased utilization of our out patient services. We continue to closely monitor the ordering of all hospital supplies, food and pharmaceutical supplies but these expenses all relate directly to the number of days of inpatient services we provide and are expected to increase with higher patient census and out patient visits. (see “Operating Statistics” Part I, Item 1).

Patient care expenses for the research division decreased 2.7% to $2,182,357 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,242,900 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is due to the delay in the start of studies. Payroll and related direct care expenses decreased 17.0% to $1,463,009 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,763,308 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Patient supplies expense decreased 36.0% to $24,830 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $38,770 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Other patient related expenses increased 53.0% to $694,518 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $453,822 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to the increased advertising to gear up for the new studies started in the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year.

Cost of contract support services related to Wellplace increased 15.9% to $3,102,551 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,676,340 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to the increased staffing to support the smoking cessation contract which started in November 2005 and increases in related employee expenses and the increased cost related to the smoking cessation software maintenance. Payroll and payroll related expenses increased 23.6% to $1,576,061 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,274,937 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Provision for doubtful accounts increased 1.1% to $1,933,499 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,912,516 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is a result of increases in accounts receivable in line with increases in revenue. The policy of the Company is to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the age of receivables resulting in higher bad debt expense as receivables age. The goal of the Company, given this policy, is to keep any increase in the provision for doubtful accounts in line with increases in revenue.

The environment the Company operates in today makes collection of receivables, particularly older receivables, more difficult than in previous years. Accordingly, the Company has increased staff, standardized some procedures for collecting receivables and instituted a more aggressive collection policy, which has for the most part resulted in an overall decrease in the age of its accounts receivable. The Company’s gross receivables from direct patient care has increased 2.3% to $10,323,972 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $10,096,061 for the year ended June 30, 2006. The Company believes its reserve of approximately 36% is sufficient based on the age of the receivables. We continue to reserve for bad debt based on managed care denials and past difficulty in collections. The growth of managed care has negatively impacted reimbursement for behavioral health services with higher contractual adjustments and a higher rate of denials requiring and higher reserves.

Total administrative expenses, excluding research, increased 13.5% to $12,722,007 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $11,210,296 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Administrative salaries increased 20.6% to $4,232,863 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $3,508,980 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Payroll tax expense increased 16.9% to $354,229 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $302,932 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Employee benefits increased 16.1% to $676,464 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $582,785 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Other employee benefits increased 93.1% to $239,555 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $124,035 for the year ended June 30, 2006. All of these increases in payroll and employee related expenses are a result of an increase of approximately 200% in the staff at our Las Vegas out patient location to service the new capitated rate contract and greater competition for experienced health care administrative staff resulted in these increased salaries. General insurance expense increased 17.9% to $760,338 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $644,882 for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to general increases in property and liability insurance and the addition of three out patient sites, two in Las Vegas and one in Arizona. Rent expense increased 28.9% to $1,440,342 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,117,098 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to the three additional clinics opened this year and normal CPI increases included in our property leases. Transfer fee expense increased 255.6% to $91,932 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $25,856 for the year ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the initial American Stock Exchange listing fee.

Total administrative expenses for the research division decreased 3.1% to $2,438,802 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,517,074 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Administrative payroll and taxes was the most significant of the change as it decreased 5.7% to $974,695 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $1,033,160 for the year ended June 30, 2006 due to the closing of the Michigan office and the decrease in study activity. Advertising expense decreased 25.4% to $216,953 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $290,673 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was also a result of the decrease in study activity.

Interest expense increased 7.0% to $649,166 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $606,893 for the year ended June 30, 2006.  This increase is due to the amortization of $55,728 and the write off of $13,932 debt discount on the old debt to interset and amortization of $4,868 on the new debt discount as a part of the debt refinancing in June 2007.

The Company’s provision for income taxes of $1,147,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 represents a blended state and federal tax rate of approximately 40.5% compared to the prior years tax provision excluding the tax benefit of $328,610 for the year ended June 30, 2006, which was significantly below the Federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company reduced the valuation allowance due to its evaluation of the future likelihood of realization based on past profitability and future expectations of profitability, and recognized 100% of its available federal tax benefit of $1,638,713 and eliminated the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset for federal purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had working capital of $7,433,699 including cash and cash equivalents of $3,332,388, compared to working capital of $7,545,549, including cash and cash equivalents of $3,395,173 at June 30, 2007.

Cash provided by operating activities was $5,388,586 for the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $3,543,597 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Cash provided by operations in fiscal 2008 consists of the net income of $324,728, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses of $87,591, a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $552,055, and an increase in accounts receivable of $1,126,422. These uses of cash from operations were offset by a decrease in other assets of $1,416,801 and an increase in accounts payable of $219,240 and further offset by non-cash items including depreciation and amortization of $1,104,906, non-cash interest and other non-cash expenses of $154,411,  change in deferred tax asset of $409,001 and stock based compensation of $443,136, impairment loss of $1,771,000 and provision for doubtful accounts of $1,311,431.

Cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2008 consisted of $3,387,341 in capital expenditures for the acquisition of property and equipment, $700,000 investment in the Behavioral Health Partners, LLC and $79,799 paid as part of the Pivotal acquisition earnout compared to $955,459 in capital expenditures for property and equipment, $400,000 investment in the Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC and $1,719,623 in advances on the construction of Seven Hills Hospital in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Other than Seven Hills related investments, the increase was primarily due to the purchase and implementation of the Meditech software and the upgrade of hardware to accommodate the software Company wide.

Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2008 consisted of $924,730 in net debt repayments and $494,216 used in the repurchase of 188,600 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock offset by $134,715 received from the issuance of stock as a result of the exercise of options and warrants.

Subsequent to year end the Company signed a Letter of Intent to sell the research division of the Company to a prominent research company.   If completed according to the terms of the Letter of Intent, the transaction will net the Company approximately $4,500,000 in cash in exchange for all the assets of the division. The Company recorded a $1,771,000 charge in the statement of operations as of June 30, 2008 for impairment of the intangible assets of Pivotal. The Company expects to sign a Purchase and Sale Agreement once the due diligence is complete and expects the sale will be completed within 120 days.

The sale of Pivotal is expected to decrease gross revenues by approximately 10% which we expect to offset with growth in our Treatment segment over the next year. This will also eliminate the unpredictable revenue streams associated with research. The significant cash realized from this transaction will allow the Company to pursue its acquisition and growth strategy without requiring a private placement of debt or equity.

     A significant factor in the liquidity and cash flow of the Company is the timely collection of its accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2008 accounts receivable from patient care, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased approximately 1% to $6,474,733 on June 30, 2008 from $6,559,387 on June 30, 2007. This decrease is due to the faster turn around of receivables related to the new capitated contract. The Company’s goal is to reduce receivables or to have any increases result from higher revenues.  Better accounts receivable management due to increased staff, standardization of some procedures for collecting receivables and a more aggressive collection policy has made this possible in behavioral health, which is typically a difficult collection environment. Increased staff has allowed the Company to concentrate on current accounts receivable and resolve any problem issues before they become uncollectible. The Company’s collection policy calls for early contact with insurance carriers with regard to payment, use of fax and registered mail to follow-up or resubmit claims and earlier employment of collection agencies to assist in the collection process. The Company’s collectors will also seek assistance through every legal means, including the State Insurance Commissioner’s office, when appropriate, to collect claims. At the same time, the Company continues to closely monitor reserves for bad debt based on potential insurance denials and past difficulty in collections.

In order to facilitate the funding for the build-out of the Company’s Las Vegas hospital project, Seven Hills, on December 19, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company sold $2,000,000 in unregistered Class A Common Stock to a single investor. The agreement allowed the investor, Camden Partners Limited Partnership, to purchase $2,000,000 in PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock at $2.08 per share, which is the average selling price per share over the 20 trading days prior to the sale, minus 4%. (For additional details regarding this transaction see the Company’s current report on form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2006).

Contractual Obligations

The Company’s future minimum payments under contractual obligations related to capital leases, operating leases and term notes as of June 30, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

YEAR ENDING
June 30     TERM NOTES     CAPITAL LEASES   OPERATING LEASES     TOTAL*

		Principal		Interest		Principal		Interest		Payments		Total

* Total does not include the amount due under the revolving credit note of $977,203. This amount represents accounts receivable funding as described below and is shown as a current note payable in the accompanying financial statements.
 

In addition to the above, the Company is also subject to three contingent notes with a total face value of $2,500,000 as part of the Pivotal acquisition. Of these notes, one for $1,000,000 and one for $500,000 bear interest at 6% per annum. These notes were subject to additional adjustment based on the earnings of the acquired operations. Since adjustment can be positive or negative based on earnings, with no ceiling or floor, the liability for these notes was only recorded after the required revenue targets were met. This treatment is in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” which states that contingent consideration should be recognized only when determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. Payments on the $1,000,000 note began on January 1, 2005. The above table includes the outstanding balance on this note of $147,036 which represents the earn-out for the Pivotal acquisition through December 31, 2005 net of payments made through June 30, 2008. Earn-out requirements have been met on the $500,000 face value note which resulted in the recording of this note and the related earn-out for the total amount of $923,934, which includes $80,000 in accrued interest. The above table includes the outstanding balance on this note of $243,269. The final note for $1,000,000 does not bear interest and is also subject to adjustment based on earnings but has a minimum value of $200,000 to be paid in PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock on March 31, 2009. This minimum liability has been recorded with imputed interest of 6% and $191,222 is included in the schedule above. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2007, financial targets were met for the first time under this note requiring an earn-out payment on Note C of $79,799. (See Note C to the consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional details on the Pivotal acquisition).

In October 2004, the Company entered into a revolving credit, term loan and security agreement with CapitalSource Finance, LLC to replace the Company’s primary lender and provide additional liquidity. Each of the Company’s material subsidiaries, other than Pivotal Research Centers, Inc, is a co-borrower under the agreement. This agreement was amended on June 13, 2007 to increase the amount available under the term loan, extend the term, decrease the interest rates and modify the covenants based on the Company’s current financial position. The agreement now includes a term loan in the amount of $3,000,000, with a balance of $787,143 at June 30, 2008, and an accounts receivable funding revolving credit agreement with a maximum loan amount of $3,500,000. In conjunction with this refinancing the Company paid $32,500 in commitment fees and approximately $53,000 in legal fees and issued a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $3.09 per share valued at $456,880. The relative fair value of the warrants was recorded as deferred financing costs and is being amortized over the period of the loan as additional interest.

The term loan note carries interest at prime plus .75%, but not less than 6.25%, with twelve monthly reductions in available credit of $50,000 beginning July 1, 2007 and increasing to $62,500 on July 1, 2009 until the expiration of the loan. As of June 30, 2008 the Company had $1,612,857 available under the term loan.

The revolving credit note carries interest at prime plus .25%, but not less than 4.75% paid through lock box payments of third party accounts receivable. The revolving credit term is three years, renewable for two additional one-year terms. The balance on the revolving credit agreement as of June 30, 2008 was $977,203. For additional information regarding this transaction, see the Company’s current report on form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2004. The balance outstanding as of June 30, 2008 for the revolving credit note is not included in the above table. The average interest rate paid on the revolving credit loan, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the financing of the debt, was 13.34%.

This agreement was amended on June 13, 2007 to modify the terms of the agreement. Advances are available based on a percentage of accounts receivable and the payment of principal is payable upon receipt of proceeds of the accounts receivable. Interest is payable monthly at prime (5.00% at June 30, 2008) plus 0.25%, but not less than 4.75%. The amended term of the agreement is for two years, renewable for two additional one year terms. Upon expiration, all remaining principal and interest are due. The revolving credit note is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s subsidiaries except Pivotal Research Centers, Inc. and guaranteed by PHC.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance-sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to the Company.

Aging of accounts receivables could result in our inability to collect receivables.  As our accounts receivable age and become uncollectible our cash flow is negatively impacted. Our accounts receivable from patient accounts (net of allowance for bad debts) were $6,474,733 at June 30, 2008 compared with $6,559,387 at June 30, 2007. As we expand, we will be required to seek payment from a larger number of payors and the amount of accounts receivable will likely increase. We have focused on better accounts receivable management through increased staff, standardization of some procedures for collecting receivables and a more aggressive collection policy in order to keep the change in receivables consistent with the change in revenue. We have also established a more aggressive reserve policy, allowing greater amounts of reserves as accounts age from the date of billing. If the amount of receivables, which eventually become uncollectible, exceeds such reserves, we could be materially adversely affected. The following chart represents our Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and Bad Debt Expense for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

	Accounts Receivable	Allowance for doubtful accounts	Bad Debt Expense
June 30, 2008	$ 8,705,104	$ 2,230,371	$ 1,311,431
June 30, 2007	$ 10,323,972	$ 3,764,585	$ 1,933,499

     The Company relies on contracts with more than ten clients to maintain patient census at its inpatient facilities and the loss of any of such contracts would impact our ability to meet our fixed costs. We have entered into relationships with large employers, health care institutions and labor unions to provide treatment for psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency and substance abuse in conjunction with employer-sponsored employee assistance programs. The employees of such institutions may be referred to us for treatment, the cost of which is reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis. Approximately 30% of our total revenue is derived from these clients. No one of these large employers, health care institutions or labor unions individually accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated revenues, but the loss of any of these clients would require us to expend considerable effort to replace patient referrals and would result in revenue losses and attendant loss in income.

Recent accounting pronouncements

      Recently Issued Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the beginning of the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The FASB has provided a one year deferral for the implementation for non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose to elect to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  The Company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R requires the use of the acquisition method defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date, requires acquisition-related costs to be expensed as incurred and broadens the scope of a business combination to include transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 141R on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—amendments of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160).” SFAS 160 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity.  The statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement 133 (SFAS 161)” SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 which will be the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock,” which addresses the accounting for certain instruments as derivatives under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Under this new pronouncement, specific guidance is provided regarding requirements for an entity to consider embedded features as indexed to the entity’s own stock. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of adopting this pronouncement.

Recently Adopted Standards

We adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 on July 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. See Note H – Income taxes for information pertaining to the effects of adoption on our consolidated balance sheet.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The market price of our common stock could be volatile and fluctuate significantly in response to various factors, including:

·      Differences in actual and estimated earnings and cash flows;

·      Operating results differing from analysts’ estimates;

·      Changes in analysts’ earnings estimates;

·      Quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results;

·      Changes in market conditions in the behavioral health care industry;

·      Changes in market conditions in the research industry;

·      Changes in general economic conditions; and

·      Fluctuations in securities markets in general.

Financial Risk

·      Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. With respect to our interest-bearing liabilities, all of our long-term debt outstanding is subject to rates at prime plus .25% and prime plus .75%, which makes interest expense increase with changes in the prime rate. On this debt, each 25 basis point increase in the prime rate will affect an annual increase in interest expense of approximately $2,250.

·      Failure to meet targeted revenue projections could cause us to be out of compliance with covenants in our debt agreements requiring a waiver from our lender. A waiver of the covenants may require our lender to perform additional audit procedures to assure the stability of their security, which could require additional fees.

NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                    
Operations and business segments:          

PHC, Inc. (the “Company”) is incorporated in the state of Massachusetts. The Company is a national healthcare company which operates subsidiaries specializing in behavioral health services including the treatment of substance abuse, which includes alcohol and drug dependency and related disorders and the provision of psychiatric services. The Company also conducts pharmaceutical research studies, operates help lines for employee assistance programs, call centers for state and local programs and provides management, administrative and online behavioral health services. The Company primarily operates under four business segments:
 

(1)      Behavioral health treatment services, including two substance abuse treatment facilities: Highland Ridge Hospital, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, which also treats psychiatric patients, and Mount Regis Center, located in Salem, Virginia, and ten psychiatric treatment locations which include Harbor Oaks Hospital, a 73-bed psychiatric hospital located in New Baltimore, Michigan, Detroit Behavioral Institute, a 50-bed residential facility in Detroit Michigan, a 55-bed psychiatric hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada and seven outpatient behavioral health locations (one in New Baltimore, Michigan operating in conjunction with Harbor Oaks Hospital, three in Las Vegas, Nevada as Harmony Healthcare and three locations operating as Pioneer Counseling Center in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area);

(2)      Pharmaceutical research study services, including three clinic study sites: two in Arizona, in Peoria and Mesa and one in Midvale, Utah. These research sites conduct studies of the effects of specified pharmaceuticals on a controlled population through contracts with major manufacturers of the pharmaceuticals. All of the Company’s research sites operate as Pivotal Research;

(3)      Call center and help line services (contract services), including two call centers, one operating in Midvale, Utah and one in Detroit, Michigan. The Company provides help line services through contracts with major railroads and a call center contract with Wayne County Michigan. The call centers both operate under the brand name Wellplace; and

(4)      Behavioral health administrative services, including delivery of management and administrative and online services. The parent company provides management and administrative services for all of its subsidiaries and online services for its behavioral health treatment subsidiaries and its call center subsidiaries. It also provides behavioral health information through its website, Wellplace.com.

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In January 2007, the Company purchased a 15.24% membership interest in the Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC, the entity that is the landlord of the Seven Hills Hospital subsidiary. In March 2008, the Company, through its subsidiary PHC of Nevada, Inc., purchased a 25% membership interest in Behavioral Health Partners, LLC, the entity that will be the landlord of a new outpatient location for Harmony Healthcare once construction is complete. These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. (Note D)

NOTE A – THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenues and accounts receivable:
 

Patient care revenues and accounts receivable are recorded at established billing rates or at the amount realizable under agreements with third-party payors, including Medicaid and Medicare. Revenues under third-party payor agreements are subject to examination and contractual adjustment, and amounts realizable may change due to periodic changes in the regulatory environment. Provisions for estimated third party payor settlements are provided in the period the related services are rendered. Differences between the amounts provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the period of settlement. The provision for contractual allowances is deducted directly from revenue and the net revenue amount is recorded as accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts does not include the contractual allowances.

Medicaid reimbursements are based on established rates depending on the level of care provided and are adjusted prospectively. Effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2005, the prospective payment system (“PPS”) was brought into effect for all Psychiatric services paid through the Medicare program. The new system changed the TEFRA-based (Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982) system to the new variable per diem-based system. The new rates are based on a statistical model that relates per diem resource use for beneficiaries to patient and facility characteristics available from “Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, (“CMS’s”), administrative data base (cost reports and claims data). Patient-specific characteristics include, but are not limited to, principal diagnoses, comorbid conditions, and age. Facility specific variables include an area wage index, rural setting, and the extent of teaching activity. This change was phased in over three fiscal years with a percentage of payments being made at the old rates and a percentage at the new rates, 75/25, 50/50, and 25/75, respectively. During fiscal 2008 we were operating under the third and final stage at 25/75. In the current fiscal year we are operating under PPS.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, Medicare reimbursement rates were based 25% on provisional rates that are adjusted retroactively based on annual cost reports filed by the Company with Medicare and 75% on the new prospective payment rates. The Company will continue to file cost reports to Medicare to determine the new TEFRA portion of the rate for the following year. These cost reports are routinely audited on an annual basis. Activity and cost report expense differences are reviewed on an interim basis and adjustments are made to the net expected collectable revenue accordingly. The Company believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any adjustments that might result from the outcome of Medicare audits. Approximately 29%, 24%, and 23% of the Company’s total revenue is derived from Medicare and Medicaid payors for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Differences between the amounts provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the year of the settlement. The Company is unable to estimate any future adjustment at this time but past adjustments have not been material to the financial statement. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has no outstanding balance in other receivable due as a result of cost report settlements.

Patient care revenue is recognized as services are rendered, provided there exists persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Pre –admission screening of financial responsibility of the patient, insurance carrier or other contractually obligated payor, provides the Company the net expected collectable patient revenue to be recorded based on contractual arrangements with the payor or pre-admission agreements with the patient. Revenue is not recognized for emergency provision of services for indigent patients until authorization for the services can be obtained.

Pharmaceutical study revenue is recognized only after a pharmaceutical study contract has been awarded and the patient has been selected and accepted based on study criteria and billable units of service are provided. Each

Revenues and accounts receivable (continued):

study calls for a participant to complete a specific number of visits in order to validate the study. While some studies require all visits to be complete before any services can be billed, most studies will allow billing for each visit once the participant is randomized, or identified as meeting all study criteria, even if the participant does not complete the study. Where a contract requires completion of the study by the patient, no revenue is recognized until the patient completes the study program. Advance payment provided by the pharmaceutical companies is recorded as deferred revenue until study receivables are produced based on the above criteria. The Company expects to complete the studies related to the deferred revenue within the next fiscal year.
 

Contract support service revenue is a result of fixed fee contracts to provide telephone support. Revenue for these services is recognized ratably over the service period.

     Long-term assets include non-current accounts receivable, other receivables and other assets (see below for description of other assets). Non-current accounts receivable, consist of amounts due from former patients for service. This amount represents estimated amounts collectable under supplemental payment agreements, arranged by the Company or its collection agencies, entered into because of the patients’ inability to pay under normal payment terms. All of these receivables have been extended beyond their original due date. Reserves are provided for accounts of former patients that do not comply with these supplemental payment agreements and accounts are written off when deemed unrecoverable. Other receivables included as long-term assets include the non-current portion of loans provided to employees and amounts due on a contractual agreement.

Charity care amounted to approximately $94,336, $231,702 and $150,511 for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Patient care revenue is presented net of charity care in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company had accounts receivable from Medicaid and Medicare of approximately $1,307,000 at June 30, 2008 and $1,811,000 at June 30, 2007. Included in accounts receivable is approximately $913,636 and $450,000 in unbilled receivables at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts which reduces the stated value of receivables on the balance sheet. This allowance is calculated based on a percentage of each aged accounts receivable category beginning at 0-5% on current accounts and increasing incrementally for each additional 30 days the account remains outstanding until the account is over 360 days outstanding, at which time the provision is 80-100% of the outstanding balance. These percentages vary by facility based on each facility’s experience in and expectations for collecting older receivables. The Company compares this required reserve amount to the current “Allowance for doubtful accounts” to determine the required bad debt expense for the period. This method of determining the required “Allowance for doubtful accounts” has historically resulted in an allowance for doubtful accounts of 20% or greater of the total outstanding receivables balance.

Estimates and assumptions:
 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and

F-11

NOTE A – THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 

Estimates and assumptions: (continued)

the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include patient care billing rates, realizability of receivables from third-party payors, rates for Medicare and Medicaid, the realization of deferred tax benefits and the valuation of goodwill which represents a significant portion of the estimates made by management.

Reliance on key clients:

      The Company relies on contracts with more than ten clients to maintain patient census at its inpatient facilities and the loss of any of such contracts would impact the Company’s ability to meet its fixed costs. The Company has entered into relationships with large employers, health care institutions and labor unions to provide treatment for psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency and substance abuse in conjunction with employer-sponsored employee assistance programs. The employees of such institutions may be referred to the Company for treatment, the cost of which is reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis. Approximately 25% of the Company’s total revenue is derived from these clients for all periods presented. No one of these large employers, health care institutions or labor unions individually accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenues, but the loss of any of these clients would require the Company to expend considerable effort to replace patient referrals and would result in revenue and attendant losses.

Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months when purchased.

Property and equipment:
 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Assets	Estimated Useful Life
Buildings	39 years
Furniture and equipment	3 through 10 years
Motor vehicles	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of useful life or term of lease (2 to 10 years)

Other assets:
 

Other assets consists of deposits, deferred expenses advances, construction in progress, investment in Seven Hills LLC, investment in Behavioral Health Partners, LLC, licensure fees, and internally developed and acquired software which is being amortized over three to seven years based on its estimated useful life.

Long-lived assets:

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for

Long-lived assets: (Continued)

possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less costs to sell. The Company believes that the carrying value of its long-lived assets is fully realizable at June 30, 2008.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of cash, trade receivables, other current assets, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on their short-term maturity. The carrying value of long term debt, which have variable interest rates, approximates fair value.

Basic and diluted income per share:

Income per share is computed by dividing the income applicable to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of both classes of common stock outstanding for each fiscal year. Class B Common Stock has additional voting rights. All dilutive common stock equivalents have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 using the treasury stock method.

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share is summarized as follows:

	Years Ended June 30,
	2008	2007	2006
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic	20,166,659	19,287,665	18,213,901
Employee stock options	297,596	397,428	510,731
Warrants	--	19,604	380,561
Weighted average shares outstanding – fully diluted	20,464,255	19,704,697	19,105,193

The following table summarizes securities outstanding as of June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, but not included in the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because such shares are antidilutive:

	Years Ended June 30,

Employee stock options	338,500	190,000	253,500
Warrants	310,000	--	--
Total	648,500	190,000	253,500

During fiscal 2008, the Company repurchased 188,600 shares of its Class A Common Stock. This repurchase did not have a material impact on earnings per share.

NOTE A – THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income taxes:

     The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS No. 109 prescribes an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities. The Company’s policy is to record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, when the deferred tax asset is not recoverable. The Company considers estimated future taxable income or loss and other available evidence when assessing the need for its deferred tax valuation allowance. As a result of this assessment, during fiscal 2006, the Company eliminated 100% of the Federal deferred tax valuation allowance.

     On July 1, 2007 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109". In accordance with FIN 48, we may establish reserves for tax uncertainties that reflect the use of the comprehensive model for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. Tax authorities periodically challenge certain transactions and deductions reported on our income tax returns. We do not expect the outcome of these examinations, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Comprehensive income:

     SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income in a financial statement. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s comprehensive income is equal to its net income for all periods presented.

Stock-based compensation:

The Company issues stock options to its employees and directors and provides employees the right to purchase stock pursuant to stockholder approved stock option and stock purchase plans. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), using the Statement’s modified prospective application method. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its stock compensation.

     Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes the fair value of stock compensation in net income, over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of the Company’s stock based awards are accounted for as equity instruments.

     Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded $380,187 and $214,606 of stock-based compensation on its consolidated statements of income for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in administrative expenses as follows:

Stock-based compensation: (continued)

		Year ended June 30, 2008		Year ended June 30, 2007		Year ended June 30, 2006
Directors fees	$	116,661	$	47,088	$	21,000
Employee compensation		263,526		167,518		105,300
Total	$	380,187	$	214,606	$	126,300

     The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock compensation granted after the adoption of SFAS 123R. The weighted-average fair values of the options granted under the stock option plans for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were calculated using the following assumptions:     

                                                                                                                      Year ended June 30,

	2008	2007	2006
Risk free interest rate	4.00%	4.60%	4.45%
Expected dividend yield	--	--	--
Expected lives	5-10 years	5-10 years	5-10 years
Expected volatility	41.0%	48.0%	47.27%
Weighted average value of grants per share	1.32	1.54	2.42
Weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding (years)	3.74	3.56	3.65

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury rate on the date of grant. The expected life was calculated using the Company’s historical experience for the expected term of the option.

Based on the Company’s historical voluntary turnover rates for individuals in the positions who received options, there was no forfeiture rate assessed. It is assumed these options will remain outstanding for the full term of issue. Under the true-up provisions of SFAS 123R, a recovery of prior expense will be recorded if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated or additional expense if the forfeiture rate is lower than estimated.

Advertising Expenses:
 

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.  Advertising expense for the year ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $205,156, $341,067 and $427,599, respectively.

NOTE A – THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Reclassifications:

      Certain June 30, 2006 and 2007 amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the June 30, 2008 presentation.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

     Recently issued Standards

      In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the beginning of the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The FASB has provided a one year deferral for the implementation for non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose to elect to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  The Company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R requires the use of the acquisition method defines the acquirer, establishes the acquisition date, requires acquisition-related costs to be expensed as incurred and broadens the scope of a business combination to include transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 141R on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—amendments of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160).” SFAS 160 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity.  The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)
 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement 133 (“SFAS 161”) SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 which will be the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”, which addresses the accounting for certain instruments as derivatives under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Under this new pronouncement, specific guidance is provided regarding requirements for an entity to consider embedded features as indexed to the entity’s own stock. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of adopting this pronouncement.

“Recently Adopted Standards”

We adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 on July 1, 2007.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. See Note H – Income taxes for information pertaining to the effects of adoption on our consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE B - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is composed of the following:

     Total depreciation and amortization expense was $782,533, $502,705 and $580,933 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE C - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Goodwill and other intangible assets are initially created as a result of business combinations or acquisitions. Critical estimates and assumptions used in the initial valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets include, but are not limited to: (i) future expected cash flows from services to be provided, customer contracts and relationships, and (ii) the acquired market position. These estimates and assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate because unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. If estimates and assumptions used to initially value goodwill

NOTE C - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: (continued)

and intangible assets prove to be inaccurate, ongoing reviews of the carrying values of such goodwill  and intangible assets may indicate impairment which will require the Company to record an impairment charge in the period in which the Company identifies the impairment.

     Customer relationships, acquired as a part of the assets acquired in the membership interest purchase of Pivotal Research Centers, LLC, are used to acquire new studies on an ongoing basis. Since there is no true “consumption” of the relationship that can be defined, the asset is being amortized, using the straight-line method, over an estimated useful life of twenty years. Amortization expense of intangible assets, which amounted to $120,000, $120,000 and $120,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, is included in administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The following is a summary of expected amortization expense of intangible assets for the succeeding fiscal years and thereafter as of June 30, 2008:      

Year Ending
June 30,		Amount
2009	$	120,000
2010		120,000
2011		120,000
2012		120,000
2013		120,000
Thereafter		1,300,000
	$	1,900,000

      SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, requires, among other things, that companies not amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 required that the Company identify reporting units for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.

     The Company’s goodwill of $969,098 relating to the treatment services reporting unit of the Company and $848,277 related to the research study services reporting unit of the Company were evaluated under SFAS No. 142 as of June 30, 2008. As a result of the evaluation, the Company determined that no impairment exists related to the goodwill associated with the treatment services reporting unit however it did determine, based on this evaluation that the goodwill of the research study reporting unit was impaired. As a result of this determination, the Company took an impairment charge against the goodwill of $1,771,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company will continue to test goodwill for impairment at least annually in accordance with the guidelines of SFAS No. 142.

 On April 30, 2004, the Company acquired Phoenix-based Pivotal Research Centers, LLC, (“Pivotal”) significantly expanding the Company’s clinical research capabilities and geographic presence. The acquisition of Pivotal was accounted for as a purchase under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, the operating results of Pivotal have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date.

The Company paid $1.5 million in cash and $500,000 in PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock based on the closing market price of $1.17. The value of the Class A Common Stock was determined in accordance with EITF 99-12, “Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase

Business Combination.” Additionally, the Company agreed to three performance-based promissory notes (Notes A, B and C) which were staged during the next five years based on future profitability and secured by all the assets of Pivotal as well as by PHC, Inc.’s ownership interest in Pivotal.

     Promissory Note A is a secured note with a face value of $1,000,000, with an annual interest rate of 6%, a maturity date of December 31, 2008 and payments due in quarterly installments beginning January 2005. Note A was subject to adjustment in the first and second years of the note based on adjusted EBITDA as defined in the agreement. Quarterly payments are then made based on the adjusted value of the promissory notes. The first adjustment of $169,832 was made on February 1, 2005. The Company recorded the value of Note A of $1,169,832 as additional purchase price during fiscal 2005. The second adjustment of ($39,746) was made on April 1, 2006. As of June 30, 2008, $147,036 is due under Note A.                              

    Promissory Note B is a secured note with a face value of $500,000, with an annual interest rate of 6%, a maturity date of December 31, 2008 and payments due in quarterly installments beginning January 2007. This note was recorded in December 2006 as EBITDA targets defined in the agreement were met. An earn-out of $343,934 was recorded on February 1, 2007 as stipulated in the agreement. Eight quarterly payments are due on this note with a maturity date of December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, the principal balance due on this note is $243,269.

     Promissory Note C is a secured note with a face value of $1,000,000, a maturity date of March 31, 2009 and annual payments commencing on March 31, 2005. Note payment amounts are determined based on the adjusted EBITDA as defined in the agreement of the non-Pivotal Research business for each payment period beginning at the effective date of the agreement and ending on December 31, 2004 and each year thereafter multiplied by .35. In addition, this promissory note provides for the issuance of up to $200,000 in PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock, should the total of the five note payments be less than the $1,000,000 face value of the note. The value of the $200,000 stock minimum value less imputed interest at 6% was recorded at the time of acquisition.

Since all but $200,000 of these promissory notes is contingent on future earnings, only $200,000, less imputed interest, was recorded as of June 30, 2004 as stipulated in SFAS No. 141. As of June 30, 2008, the balance on Note C is $191,222. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2007, earnings targets were met under this Note requiring payment of $79,799 which was recorded as goodwill in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

NOTE D - OTHER ASSETS
 

Included in other assets are investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2008 this includes the Company’s investment in Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC of $399,735 (this LLC holds the assets of the Seven Hills Hospital which is being leased by a subsidiary of the Company) and the Company’s investment in Behavioral Health Partners, LLC, of $700,000 which will build an additional outpatient site in Las Vegas to be leased by another subsidiary of the Company.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had a federal net operating loss carryforward amounting to approximately $15,000. The Company also has alternative minimum tax credits, of $188,000 at June 30, 2008.  The Company’s Federal net operating loss carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

 In the past, the Company had provided a significant valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset based on the projections for the next fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized 100% of the tax benefit associated with the federal loss carry forwards based on the Company’s future projections.

     The Company adopted the provisions of  FIN 48 on July 1, 2007.  It required that a change in judgement related to prior year's tax positions be recognized in the quarter of such change.  As a resut of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

     We recognize interest and penalities related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense.  As of June 30, 2008, we have not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalities related to uncertain tax positions.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial reporting or our disclosure requirements.

     Tax  years 2004-2007 remain open to examination by the major taxing authorities to which we are subject.

NOTE I - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Operating leases:

The Company leases office and treatment facilities, furniture and equipment under operating leases expiring on various dates through May 2018. Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $2,429,805, $2,026,000 and $1,695,000, respectively. Rent expense includes certain short-term rentals. Minimum future rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases, having remaining terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2008 are as follows:

Year Ending
June 30,____		Amount
2009	$	3,744,406
2010		3,663,179
2011		2,817,814
2012		2,494,202
2013		1,914,616
Thereafter		9,170,912
	$	23,805,129

In addition to the above leases, on March 24, 2008, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease office space to be built by Behavioral Health Partners, LLC. The proposed office space is located in Las Vegas, Nevada, with initial rent payments of approximately $17,500 per month beginning upon completion of the building estimated to be in the first calendar quarter of 2009. In addition to the 10-year lease on the property, the Company has also purchased approximately 25% membership interest in the entity that owns the property.

Contingent Notes Payable:
 

     In conjunction with the acquisition of Pivotal Research Centers, LLC (Note C), the Company signed three notes, A, B and C, respectively, with face amounts of $1,000,000, $500,000 and $1,000,000. The ultimate amount payable under these notes is based on the future earnings of the acquired entity. Since all but $200,000 was contingent on future earnings, only $200,000 less imputed interest was recorded as a liability as of June 30, 2004 as stipulated in SFAS No. 141. As of June 30, 2008 $191,222 has been recorded on Note C. In December 2004 the first earn-out period ended and resulted in the recording of $1,209,832, (including $40,000 in interest), as a liability on Note A. On April 1, 2006 the second earn-out adjustment was made on Note A. This adjustment resulted in the net reduction of the liability of $39,746 as earn-out targets were not met for the calendar year ended December 31, 2005. Note B was recorded in December 2006 at its face value of $500,000 as earnings targets were met for the calendar year ended December 31, 2006. The total amount recorded on February 1, 2007 as earn-out under this Note B was $343,934. In the current fiscal year $79,799 was recorded as an earn-out on Note C for the calendar year ended December 31, 2007. The earn-outs are recorded as a change in the purchase price and affect goodwill. (See Note C for discussion of the terms of these notes.)

Litigation:

     The Company is a party in an action between a former employee who was terminated and filed a claim for wrongful termination. The matter is being resolved through binding arbitration. The outcome of this action cannot be determined at this time, but management does not expect the outcome to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Litigation: (Continued)

The Company is subject to various claims and legal action that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company is not currently a party to any proceeding that would have a material adverse affect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Other:
 

     On December 20, 2004, Harbor Oaks Hospital experienced a loss due to a flood at the facility. The physical damage was repaired quickly and the claim for the damage paid. The Company subsequently filed a claim for lost business income as allowed by the insurance policy. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 this claim was settled for $325,000, which is included in the consolidated statements of income as other income, net of legal fees of $25,000.

NOTE J – STOCK HOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK PLANS

NOTE J – STOCK HOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK PLANS (CONTINUED)

The Class B Common Stock is non-redeemable and has no pre-emptive rights.

Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible, at the option of its holder, into a share of Class A Common Stock. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock is automatically convertible into one fully-paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock (i) upon its sale, gift or transfer to a person who is not an affiliate of the initial holder thereof or (ii) if transferred to such an affiliate, upon its subsequent sale, gift or other transfer to a person who is not an affiliate of the initial holder. Shares of Class B Common Stock that are converted into Class A Common Stock will be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued.

All of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Private Placement
 

On December 19, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company sold $2,000,000 in unregistered Class A Common Stock to a single investor to provide the equity component for the build-out of the Company’s Las Vegas hospital project, Seven Hills Behavioral Institute.

The agreement allowed the investor, Camden Partners Limited Partnership, to purchase $2,000,000 in PHC, Inc. Class A Common Stock at $2.08 per share, which was the average selling price per share over the 20 trading days prior to the sale, minus 4%. In addition to providing a certificate evidencing the 961,539 unregistered shares within three business days from the close of the transaction, the Company is also obligated to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days of the close of the transaction to register the shares issued, to put forth its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be brought effective within 120 days of the close of the transaction and to maintain the Registration Statement’s current status for a period of two years from the date of the close of the transaction. The Registration Statement was declared effective on April 2, 2007.

Stock Plans

The Company has three active stock plans: a stock option plan, an employee stock purchase plan and a non-employee directors’ stock option plan, and three expired plans, the 1993 Employee and Directors Stock Option plan, the 1995 Non-employee Directors’ stock option plan and the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The stock option plan, dated December 2003 and expiring in December 2013, as amended in October 2007, provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to employees or nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and others whose efforts are important to the success of the Company. Subject to the provisions of this plan, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors has the authority to select the optionees and determine the terms of the options including: (i) the number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms, (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option will not be less than the market price of the Class A Common Stock as of the date of grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock upon exercise of options. As of June 30, 2008, 994,687 options were granted under this plan.

On October 18, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to provide employees who work in excess of 20 hours per week and more than five months per year rights to elect to participate in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”),

which became effective February 1, 1996. The price per share shall be the lesser of 85% of the average of the bid and ask price on the first day of the plan period or the last day of the plan period to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees. The plan was amended on December 19, 2001 and December 19, 2002 to allow for a total of 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued under the plan. Before its expiration on October 18, 2005, 157,034 shares were issued under the plan. On January 31, 2006 the stockholders approved a replacement Employee Stock Purchase Plan to replace the 1995 plan. A maximum of 500,000 shares may be issued under the January 2006 plan. The new plan is identical to the old plan and expires on January 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2008, 15,186 shares have been issued under this plan. During fiscal 2008 the Board of Directors authorized a new offering for a six month contribution term instead of the former one year term. Eight employees participated and 6,801 shares were issued in the first six-month offering period, which began on February 1, 2008 and ended on July 31, 2008. Sixteen employees are participating in the current offering which began on August 1, 2008 and will end January 31, 2009. At June 30, 2008 there were 484,814 shares available for issue under the January 2006 plan.

     The non-employee directors’ stock option plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options automatically at the time of each annual meeting of the Board. Through June 30, 2008, options for 145,500 shares were granted under the 1995 plan. This plan expired in August 2005 and, in January 2005, the shareholders voted to approve a new non-employee directors’ stock plan. The new plan is identical to the plan it replaced. Under the new plan a maximum of 350,000 shares may be issued. As of June 30, 2008, a total of 220,000 options were issued under the new plan. On January 31, 2006, this plan was amended to increase the number of options issued to each outside director each year from 10,000 options to 20,000 options. Each outside director is granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Class A Common Stock annually at fair market value on the date of grant, vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant and expiring ten years from the grant date. The new plan will expire in January 2015, ten years from the date of shareholder approval.

Under the above plans, at June 30, 2008, 1,520,127 shares were available for future grant or purchase.

The Company had the following activity in its stock option plans for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006:

NOTE M - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Subsequent to year end the Company signed a Letter of Intent to sell the research division of the Company to a prominent research company. The transaction will net the Company approximately $4,500,000 in cash in exchange for all the assets of the division.  The Company recorded a $1,771,000 charge to the statement of operation as of June 30, 2008 for impairment of the intangible assets of Pivotal.  

      The Company evaluated the transaction under SFAS No. 144 - "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" and determined the measurement date to be subsequent to June 30, 2008.  As such the Company will include this reporting unit as discontinued operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

     Also subsequent to year end the Company received notice from Medicare of a cost report settlement of $170,000 based on disallowed expenses.  The Company is appealing this settlement as the expenses that were disallowed are permitted charges based on Medicare regulations and the Company believes these charges were overlooked at the time of the cost report review because of the method that they were presented. The Company believes this appeal will result in a favorable decision, the charges will be allowed and the funds refunded to the Company.

Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company changed independent registered public accounting firms from Eisner LLP to BDO Seidman, LLP. This change was not made as a result of any disagreements between the accountants and the management of the Company. See the Company’s report on form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2008.

Item 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified within the SEC’s Rules and Forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions and over time controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

At the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to meet the criteria referred to above. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Change in Internal Controls
 

During the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company converted certain information systems used to record and bill revenue and track accounts receivable data. Because of this conversion it was necessary to modify some related internal controls to assure the information being recorded is accurate.

Except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluations.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management has employed a framework consistent with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c) to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting described below. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of an evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operations of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

·      Approve all audit fees in advance of work performed.

·      Approve any accounting firm and fees to be charged for taxes or any other non-audit accounting fees.

·      Review with management and the registered public accounting firm:

o      The independent accountant's audit of and report on the financial statements.

o      The auditor's qualitative judgments about the appropriateness, not just the acceptability, of accounting principles and financial disclosures and how aggressive (or conservative) the accounting principles and underlying estimates are.

o      Any serious difficulties or disputes with management encountered during the course of the audit.

o      Anything else about the audit procedures or findings that PCAOB  requires the auditors to discuss with the committee.

·      Consider and review with management and a designated accounting staff member:

As required by the SEC, all members of the audit committee are “independent” as such term is defined pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations and as required under AMEX listing standard Section 121. Dr. Dangerfield serves as the chairman and is the audit committee financial expert. The Company reviewed Dr. Dangerfield’s extensive experience managing the budget and operations for large Behavioral Healthcare organizations and determined that this industry experience qualifies him to act as the financial expert in accordance with SEC requirements. The Audit Committee met six times during fiscal 2008. All of the committee members attended the meetings.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was established in October, 2005. This committee is appointed by the Board of Directors for the purpose of (i) identifying individuals qualified to become Board members and to recommend that the Board select these individuals as nominees for election to the Board at the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, and (ii) developing and recommending to the Board a set of effective corporate governance policies and procedures applicable to the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Dr. David Dangerfield, Mr. Donald Robar and Mr. William Grieco. All members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent as required under AMEX listing standards.

Compensation Committee
 

The Board of Directors has appointed the members of the Compensation Committee to review and approve officer’s compensation, formulate bonuses for management and administer the Company’s equity compensation plans. The Compensation Committee is a chartered committee made up of independent members of the Board of Directors. During fiscal 2008 the Compensation Committee consisted of Mr. Donald Robar and Mr. William Grieco. Both members of the Compensation Committee are independent as required under AMEX listing standards. The Compensation Committee met three times during fiscal 2008, twice telephonically and once in person. Mr. Shear does not participate in discussions concerning, or vote to approve, his salary.

Code of Ethics
 

The Company maintains a Corporate Compliance Plan, which incorporates our code of ethics, that is applicable to all employees, including all officers. The Corporate Compliance Plan incorporates our guidelines designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It also incorporates our expectations of our employees that enable us to provide accurate and timely disclosure in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public communications. In addition, it incorporates our guidelines pertaining to topics such as health and safety compliance, diversity and non-discrimination, patient care and privacy.

The full text of our Corporate Compliance Plan is published on our website at www.phc-inc.com. We will post any amendments to the Corporate Compliance Plan, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed by the rules of the SEC, on our website.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock, to file with the SEC reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock. SEC rules also require the reporting persons and entities to furnish the Company with a copy of the reports they file. The Company is required to report any failure to file these reports.

Based on the review of the filings and written representations from the Company’s directors and executive officers, the Company believes that all reports required to be filed with the SEC by Section 16(a) during the most recent fiscal year have been filed on a timely basis.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 

The Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee and senior management share responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring our executive compensation program, with the Board making the final determination with respect to executive compensation. The goal of our executive compensation program is to provide a competitive total compensation package to our executive management team through a combination of base salary, quarterly cash incentive bonuses, long-term equity incentive compensation in the form of stock options and benefits programs. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains our compensation objectives, policies and practices with respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and one of our other most highly-compensated executive officers as determined in accordance with applicable SEC rules, who are collectively referred to in this report as the Named Executive Officers.

Objectives of our Executive Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

·      to attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to achieve our strategic objectives in the highly competitive industry in which we compete;

·      to motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

·      to align the interest of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives to increase stockholder value by increasing our Company’s long-term profitability;

·      to provide a competitive compensation package in which a significant portion of total compensation is determined by Company and individual results and the creation of stockholder value; and,

·      to foster a shared commitment among executives by coordinating their Company and individual goals.

Role of the Compensation Committee
 

Our Compensation Committee oversees all aspects of executive compensation. The committee plays a critical role in establishing our compensation philosophy and in setting and amending elements of the compensation package offered to our named executive officers.

The members of our Compensation Committee during fiscal 2008 were Donald Robar and William Grieco. Each current member of our Compensation Committee is an independent, non-employee director. During fiscal 2008, the Compensation Committee met three times, twice telephonically and once in person.

On an annual basis, or in the case of promotion or hiring of an executive officer, the Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation package to be provided to our named executive officers. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee undertakes a review of the base salary and bonus targets of each of our named executive officers and evaluates their respective compensation based on the committee’s overall evaluation of their performance toward the achievement of our financial, strategic and other goals, with consideration given to each executive officer’s length of service and to comparative executive compensation data. Based on its review, from time to time the Compensation Committee has increased the salary and/or potential bonus amounts for our executive officers.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The compensation committee report below is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not incorporated by reference in any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after this filing and irrespective of any general language to the contrary.

The Compensation Committee, comprised solely of independent directors, reviewed and discussed the above Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on this review and discussions, the committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

Compensation Committee

Donald E. Robar
William F. Grieco

Elements of Executive Compensation
 

Compensation for our named executive officers generally consists of the following elements:

·      base salary;

·      cash bonuses;

·      stock-based awards;

·      health, dental and life insurance and disability and retirement plans; and

·      severance and change-in-control arrangements.

The Company does not have a policy or target for allocating compensation between long-term and short-term compensation. Instead the Compensation Committee determines subjectively what it believes to be the appropriate level and mix of various compensation components. The Compensation Committee’s objective in allocating between annual and long-term compensation is to ensure adequate base compensation to attract and retain personnel, while providing incentives to maximize long-term value for our Company and its stockholders.

Base Salary
 

Salary for our executives is generally set by reviewing compensation levels for comparable positions in the market and the historical compensation levels of our executives. Salaries may then be adjusted from time to time, based upon market changes, actual corporate and individual performance and changes in responsibilities.

Bonuses

Bonuses are based on actual corporate and individual performances compared to targeted performance criteria and various subjective performance criteria. Targeted financial performance for the Company is set annually by the compensation committee for each fiscal quarter. In considering bonuses the Compensation Committee does not rely on a formula that assigns a pre-determined value to each of the criteria, but instead evaluates each executive officer’s contribution in light of all relevant criteria. Individual performance targets are used less frequently but may include completion of specific projects. There were no individual performance targets specified in the prior or current fiscal years meetings of the compensation committee.

Stock Based Awards
 

Compensation for executive officers also includes the long-term incentives afforded by stock options and other equity-based awards. Our stock option program is designed to align the long-term interests of our employees and our stockholders and assist in the retention of executives. The size of stock-based awards is generally intended to reflect the executive’s position and the executive’s expected contributions. Although some awards may be provided as part of the hiring agreement of new executives, in general these stock-based awards follow the same benchmarks as the executive bonus element of the named executive’s compensation. Options are generally granted with installment-vesting over a period of three years.

Because of the direct relationship between the value of an option and the market price of our common stock, the compensation committee believes that stock options are an effective method of motivating the named executive officers to manage our Company in a manner that is consistent with the interests of our Company and our Stockholders.

In addition the named executives are also eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock purchase plan as long as all other criteria of the plan are met.

Insurance and Other Employee Benefits
 

We maintain insurance benefits for all employees that include health, dental and life insurance. The company bears one hundred percent of the cost of these benefits for the named executives. In addition the company provides a company vehicle or an auto allowance, additional supplemental life insurance and other supplemental taxable fringe benefits for the named executive officers. In addition, the company provides a disability pool for the named executives based on the number of years of service. The number of days of pay under the disability plan increases incrementally until it reaches a maximum accrual of 730 days. This disability pool has no cash value and is not payable upon termination of employment. The Company also provides an Executive Retirement plan, which allows for the use of the accrued disability plan bank to be distributed as an annuity over a four year period at the named executive’s retirement providing the minimum term of employment of twenty years of service has been met. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, no accrual has been made for this retirement plan as each of the named executives have waived their right to the retirement plan based on the Company’s financial position at the time that the plan was approved.

Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangement
 

The Company has not entered into any severance agreements with any of the named executive officers; however, compensation for the named executive officers does include change-in-control arrangements. These arrangements, like other elements of executive compensation, are structured with regard to practices at comparable companies for similarly situated officers and in a manner we believe is likely to attract and retain high quality executive talent. The plan calls for the named executive officers, in the event of a change in control, to receive payment of their average annual salary for the past five years times a multiplier based on their number of years of service in the position at the effective date as shown below.           

Name and position	Multiplier		Amount at 6/30/2008
Bruce A. Shear, Chief Executive Officer	2.99	$	1,204,331
Robert H. Boswell, Senior Vice President	2.00		361,369
Paula C. Wurts, Chief Financial Officer	2.00		309,528

Changes in Executive Compensation for Fiscal 2008
 

In September 2007, the Compensation Committee met to discuss the compensation of the named executive officers. The meeting resulted in a proposal to the Board of Directors to increase the base salary of the named executive officers and change the net earnings targets for the named executive officers to earn cash and stock based compensation for each quarter of fiscal 2008. The Board of Directors accepted the proposals of the Committee and

salary increases were affected and bonus and stock-based compensation targets were set. The named executive officers met the bonus and stock-based compensation targets in the first and second quarters of 2008.

Accounting for Executive Compensation
 

We account for equity based compensation paid to our employees under the rules of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (SFAS 123R), which requires us to measure and record an expense over the service period of the award. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is incurred.

Employment Agreements
 

The Company has not entered into any employment agreements with its executive officers. The Company owns and is the beneficiary on a $1,000,000 key man life insurance policy on the life of Bruce A. Shear.

Three executive officers of the Company received compensation in the 2008 fiscal year, which exceeded $100,000. The following table sets forth the compensation paid or accrued by the Company for services rendered to these executives in fiscal year 2008, 2007 and 2006:

Mr. Robar served as the Company’s Treasurer from February 1996 until April 2000. During the 2008 fiscal year, none of our executive officers served on our Compensation Committee (or equivalent) or board of directors of another entity whose executive officer(s) served on our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors.

OPTION PLANS

Stock Plan
 

The Board of Directors adopted the Company’s first stock option plan on August 26, 1993. This stock option plan has expired, however, options to purchase 55,000 shares remain outstanding under the plan. On September 22, 2003 the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s current stock option plan and the stockholders of the Company approved the plan on December 31, 2003. The Stock Plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,900,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to employees and the grant of nonqualified stock options or restricted stock to employees, directors, consultants and others whose efforts are important to the success of the Company.

The Board of Directors administers the Stock Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Stock Plan, the Board of Directors has the authority to select the optionees or restricted stock recipients and determine the terms of the options or restricted stock granted, including: (i) the number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms, (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option cannot be less than the market price of the Class A Common Stock as of the date of grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock upon exercise of options. Generally, an option is not transferable by the option holder except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Also, generally, no option may be exercised more than 60 days following termination of employment. However, in the event that termination is due to death or disability, the option is exercisable for a period of one year following such termination.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued additional options to purchase 317,500 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2003 Stock Plan at a price per share ranging from $2.51 to $2.95. Generally, options are exercisable upon grant for 25% of the shares covered with an additional 25% becoming exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On October 18, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to provide employees who work in excess of 20 hours per week and more than five months per year rights to elect to participate in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), which became effective February 1, 1996. The price per share was to be the lesser of 85% of the average of the bid and ask price on the first day of the plan period or the last day of the plan period. The plan was amended on December 19, 2001 and December 19, 2002 to allow for a total of 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued under the plan. On January 31, 2006 the stockholders approved a replacement Employee Stock Purchase Plan to replace the 1995 plan, which expired on October 18, 2005. The new plan is identical to the old plan and expires on January 31, 2016.

A total of 157,034 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued under the 1995 plan before it’s expiration and 15,186 shares have been issued under the 2005 plan. Eight employees participated in the six month offering that ended July 31, 2008. A total of 6,801 shares were issued in that offering. Sixteen employees are participating in the current offering period under the plan, which began on August 1, 2008 and will end on January 31, 2009.

Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

The non-employee directors’ stock option plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options automatically at the time of each annual meeting of the Board. Through June 30, 2008, options for 145,500 shares were granted under the 1995 plan. This plan expired in August 2005 and, in January 2005, the shareholders voted to approve a new non-employee directors’ stock plan. The new plan is identical to the plan it replaced. Under the new plan a maximum of 350,000 shares may be issued. On January 31, 2006, this plan was amended to increase the number of options issued to each outside director each year from 10,000 options to 20,000 options. Each outside director is granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Class A Common Stock annually at fair market value on the date of grant, vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant and expiring ten years from the grant date. The new plan will expire in January 2015, ten years from the date of shareholder approval. As of June 30, 2008, 220,000 options have been issued under the plan.

If an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors other than for death or permanent disability, the unexercised portion of the options, to the extent unvested, immediately terminate, and the unexercised portion of the options which have vested lapse 180 days after the date the optionee ceases to serve on the Board. In the event of death or permanent disability, all unexercised options vest and the optionee or his or her legal representative has the right to exercise the option for a period of 180 days or until the expiration of the option, if sooner.

Options Exercised
 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a total of 174,000 options were exercised under the plans, of which 140,000 options were exercised at prices ranging from $0.69 to $0.75, 30,000 options were exercised at prices ranging from $1.17 to $1.21 and 4,000 options were exercised at $2.06.

The following table provides information about options granted to the named executive officers during fiscal 2008 under the Company’s Stock Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Non-Employee Director Stock Plan.

     These options were issued under the Executive bonus plan based on the Company’s performance in fiscal 2007 and 2008. The options are 25% vested when issued and vest 25% on each of the next three anniversary date of the grant and expire after five years. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the Grant Date Value with no adjustments for non-transferability or risk of forfeiture. The assumptions used are as follows:

Risk free interest rate	4.00%
Expected dividend yield	0.0%
Expected lives	5
Expected volatility	41.0%

The following table provides information about options outstanding, held by the named executive officers at the end of fiscal 2008.
