PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
United American Healthcare Corporation (the "Company" or "UAHC") was
incorporated in Michigan on December 1, 1983 and commenced operations in May
1985. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company
indicated herein shall mean United American Healthcare Corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company provides comprehensive management and consulting services to a
managed care organization in Tennessee, and previously to other health
maintenance organizations in other states, principally (until November 1, 2002)
Michigan. The Company also arranges for the financing of health care services
and delivery of these services by primary care physicians and specialists,
hospitals, pharmacies and other ancillary providers to commercial employer
groups and government-sponsored populations in Tennessee and previously (until
November 1, 2002) Michigan.
Management and consulting services provided by the Company are and have been
generally to health maintenance organizations with a targeted mix of Medicaid
and non-Medicaid/commercial enrollment. Management and consulting services
provided by the Company include feasibility studies for licensure, strategic
planning, corporate governance, management information systems, human resources,
marketing, pre-certification, utilization review programs, individual case
management, budgeting, provider network services, accreditation preparation,
enrollment processing, claims processing, member services and cost containment
programs. UAHC's efforts are concentrated on low-income families and people with
disabilities in select geographic markets. The Company has specialized in the
Medicaid market for over 20 years and its management team has decades of
experience in this sector. Management believes the Company has gained
substantial expertise in understanding and serving the particular needs of the
Medicaid population. As of August 17, 2007 there were 104,259 TennCare enrollees
in UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc. ("UAHC-TN"), owned by the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary.
On October 10, 2006, UAHC-TN entered into a contract with the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to act as a Medicare Advantage qualified
organization. The contract authorizes UAHC-TN to serve members enrolled in both
the Tennessee Medicaid and Medicare programs, commonly referred to as
"dual-eligibles," specifically to offer a Special Needs Plan ("SNP") to its
eligible members in Shelby County, Tennessee (including the City of Memphis),
and to operate a Voluntary Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, both beginning
January 1, 2007. The initial contract term is through December 31, 2007, after
which the contract may be renewed for successive one-year periods in accordance
with its terms. As of August 16, 2007 there were approximately 591 SNP enrollees
in UAHC-TN.
1
INDUSTRY
In an effort to control costs while assuring the delivery of quality health care
services, the public and private sectors have increasingly turned to managed
care solutions. As a result, the managed care industry, which includes health
maintenance organization ("HMO"), preferred provider organization ("PPO") and
prepaid health service plans, has grown substantially.
While the trend toward managed care solutions has traditionally been pursued
most aggressively by the private sector, the public sector has embraced the
trend in an effort to control the costs of health care provided to Medicaid
recipients. Consequently, many states are promoting managed care initiatives to
contain these rising costs and supporting programs that encourage or mandate
Medicaid beneficiaries to enroll in managed care plans. Under the Medicare
Modernization Act of 2003 ("MMA"), the federal government expanded managed care
for publicly sponsored programs by allowing Medicare Advantage plans to offer
special needs plans that cover dual eligibles. These special needs plans allow
for coordinated care for a specific segment of the Medicare population, thus
providing the opportunity for improved quality of care and cost management.
MANAGED CARE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Company owns and manages the operations of an HMO in Tennessee, UAHC-TN. The
following table shows the approximate number of UAHC-TN members served by the
Company as of August 17, 2007:

MANAGED PLAN
The Company has entered into a long-term management agreement, through a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, with UAHC-TN. Pursuant to this management
agreement, the Company provides to UAHC-TN management and consulting services
associated with the financing and delivery of health care services.
Services provided to UAHC-TN include strategic planning; corporate governance;
human resource functions; provider network services; provider profiling and
credentialing; premium rate setting and review; marketing services (group and
individual); accounting and budgeting functions; deposit, disbursement and
investment of funds; enrollment functions; collection of accounts; claims
processing; management information systems; utilization review; and quality
management.
UAHC-TN has a Medicaid contract and a Medicare contract with agencies of the
State of Tennessee and the United States, respectively. The amount of premiums
and/or fees that UAHC-TN receives is established by the contracts, although it
varies according to specific government programs and may also vary according to
demographic factors, including a member's age, gender and health status. Both
contracts' current term will expire on December 31, 2007. UAHC-TN expects to
receive notice of the extension of the terms of both contracts from the
respective government agencies before that date.
MANAGED PLAN OWNED BY THE COMPANY
MEDICAID
UAHC-TN was organized as a Tennessee corporation in October 1993, and is
headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The Company was active in the development
of UAHC-TN, and through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, United American
of Tennessee, Inc., wholly owns UAHC-TN. UAHC-TN began as a PPO contractor with
the Bureau of TennCare, a State of Tennessee program that provides medical
benefits to Medicaid and working uninsured and uninsurable recipients, and
operated as a full-risk prepaid health services plan until it obtained its
TennCare HMO license in March 1996. UAHC-TN's TennCare HMO contract was executed
in October 1996, retroactive to the date of licensure.
In November 1993, UAHC-TN contracted with the State of Tennessee, doing business
as TennCare ("TennCare"), as a Medicaid PPO to arrange for the financing and
delivery of health care services on a capitated basis to eligible Medicaid
beneficiaries and the Working Uninsured and Uninsurable ("Non-Medicaid")
individuals who lack access to private or employer sponsored health insurance or
to another government health plan. TennCare placed an indefinite moratorium on
Working Uninsured enrollment in December 1994; however, such action did not
affect persons enrolled in a plan prior to the moratorium. In April 1997,
enrollment was expanded to include the children of the Working Uninsured up to
age 18.
The contract between UAHC-TN and TennCare was renewed July 1, 2000 for a
42-month term, expiring December 31, 2003. The new contract provided for
increased capitation rates, but eliminated the practice of providing retroactive
payments to managed care organizations for high
3
cost chronic conditions of their members ("adverse selection") and payments
earmarked as adjustments for covered benefits.
In June 2001, TennCare developed new risk-sharing options for its participating
managed care organizations ("MCOs"), including UAHC-TN. UAHC-TN entered into its
changed contract with TennCare effective July 1, 2001.
At June 30, 2001, UAHC-TN was licensed in and served Shelby and Davidson
Counties in Tennessee (which include the cities of Memphis and Nashville,
respectively). Effective July 1, 2001, UAHC-TN received approval from TennCare
to expand its service area to western Tennessee and to withdraw from Davidson
County. Additionally, a significant competitor of UAHC-TN ceased doing business
in October 2001, and TennCare assigned approximately 40,000 of that plan's
members to UAHC-TN on February 15, 2002.
Beginning July 1, 2002, TennCare implemented an 18-month stabilization program
which entailed changes to TennCare's contracts with MCOs, including UAHC-TN.
During that period, MCOs were generally compensated for administrative services
only (commonly called "ASO"), earned fixed administrative fees, were not at risk
for medical costs in excess of targets established based on various factors,
were subject to increased oversight, and could incur financial penalties for not
achieving certain performance requirements. Through successive contractual
amendments, TennCare extended the ASO reimbursement system applicable to
UAHC-TN, first through June 30, 2004, then through December 31, 2004, and then
through June 30, 2005.
UAHC-TN sought reimbursement from TennCare for exceptionally high medical
expenses incurred by new UAHC-TN enrollees in fiscal year 2002, including for
actuarially estimated claims incurred but not yet reported to UAHC-TN. In
response, TennCare amended its contract with UAHC-TN in September 2002,
retroactive to July 1, 2001 in some respects and to May 1, 2002 in other
respects. The amendment stated that UAHC-TN's outside actuary certified the plan
required $7.5 million to meet its statutory net worth requirement for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2002 and that UAHC-TN "is a viable HMO under contract with
TennCare on the same basis as other comparable HMOs in the program effective
July 1, 2002."
Pursuant to such contractual amendment: UAHC-TN retroactively elected an
available risk option for the ten months from July 1, 2001 through April 30,
2002; TennCare retroactively agreed to reimburse UAHC-TN on a no-risk ASO basis
for medical services effective beginning May 1, 2002; and TennCare agreed to pay
UAHC-TN up to $7.5 million as necessary to meet its statutory net worth
requirement as of June 30, 2002. Pursuant to an agreement between TennCare and
UAHC-TN in October 2002, TennCare further agreed to pay additional funds to
UAHC-TN if future certified actuarial data confirmed they were needed by UAHC-TN
to meet that requirement.
UAHC-TN received a permitted practice letter from the State of Tennessee to
include such $7.5 million receivable in its statutory net worth at June 30,
2002. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the $7.5 million
receivable and additional funds were not recorded in
4
fiscal 2002 financial statements but have been recorded in subsequent fiscal
years as fiscal 2002 claims were processed.
UAHC-TN's application for a commercial HMO license was approved on September 7,
2001. Management is not yet actively pursuing that commercial business, however,
due to UAHC-TN's substantially increased enrollment from members TennCare
assigned from defunct other plans, together with adapting to TennCare's
stabilization program.
Through an amendment with an effective date of July 1, 2005, TennCare
implemented a modified risk arrangement ("MRA") with all its contracted MCOs,
including UAHC-TN, under which they are at risk for losing up to 10% of
administrative fee revenue and may receive up to 15% incentive bonus revenue
based on performance relative to benchmarks. TennCare also disenrolled
approximately 100,000 non-medically needy adults who were not eligible for
Medicaid from TennCare coverage statewide, and imposed benefit limits on the
396,000 adults left in the program who were eligible for Medicaid. As a result,
UAHC-TN lost approximately 12,000 members during fiscal 2006. UAHC-TN received
notice from TennCare that it earned additional MRA revenue of $0.2 million, $0.2
million and $0.5 million, respectively, for its performance for the first,
second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006. Such additional revenue has been
recorded and UAHC-TN received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 such $0.5
million of additional MRA revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. UAHC-TN
expects to similarly earn additional MRA revenue of approximately $0.2 million
for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and additional MRA revenues for fiscal
2007. The Company will record such and any other additional MRA earnings only
upon receipt of final notification thereof from TennCare.
As of August 16, 2007, UAHC-TN's total TennCare enrollment was 104,259 members,
of whom 98% were Medicaid enrollees and 2% were Non-Medicaid enrollees.
MEDICARE
On October 10, 2006, UAHC-TN entered into a contract with the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") to act as a Medicare Advantage qualified
organization. The contract authorizes UAHC-TN to serve members enrolled in both
the Tennessee Medicaid and Medicare programs, commonly referred to as
"dual-eligibles," specifically to offer a Special Needs Plan ("SNP") to its
eligible members in Shelby County, Tennessee (including the City of Memphis),
and to operate a Voluntary Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, both beginning
January 1, 2007. The initial contract term is through December 31, 2007, after
which the contract may be renewed for successive one-year periods in accordance
with its terms.
In December 2003 Congress passed the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act, which is known as the Medicare Modernization Act ("MMA"). The
MMA increased the amounts payable to Medicare Advantage plans such as ours, and
expanded Medicare beneficiary healthcare options by, among other things, adding
a Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit beginning in 2006, as further
described below.
5
One of the goals of the MMA was to reduce the costs of the Medicare program by
increasing participation in the Medicare Advantage program. Effective January 1,
2004, the MMA increased Medicare Advantage statutory payment rates, generally
increasing payments per member to Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Advantage
plans are required to use these increased payments to improve the healthcare
benefits that are offered, to reduce premiums or to strengthen provider
networks. We believe the reforms proposed by the MMA, including in particular
the increased reimbursement rates to Medicare Advantage plans, have allowed and
will continue to allow Medicare Advantage plans to offer more comprehensive and
attractive benefits, including better preventive care benefits, while also
reducing out-of-pocket expenses for beneficiaries.
As part of the MMA, effective January 1, 2006, every Medicare recipient was able
to select a prescription drug plan through Medicare Part D. Financing for
Medicare Part D comes from beneficiary premium payments, state contributions and
general revenues. The monthly premium paid by enrollees is set to cover 25.5% of
the cost for standard drug coverage. CMS subsidizes the remaining 74.5%, based
on bids submitted to CMS by plans for their expected benefits payments. Plans
can also receive additional risk-adjusted payments for high cost enrollees and
reinsurance payments for 80% of costs above the catastrophic threshold. A Part D
plan's total potential losses or profits are limited by risk-sharing
arrangements with the federal government. Additional subsidies are provided for
dual-eligible beneficiaries and specified low-income beneficiaries.
Under the standard Part D drug coverage for 2007, beneficiaries enrolled in a
stand-alone prescription drug plan ("PDP") pay a $265 annual deductible and 25%
coinsurance up to an initial coverage limit of $2,400 in total drug costs,
followed by a coverage gap (the so-called "doughnut hole") where enrollees pay
100% of their drug costs until they have spent $3,850 out of pocket. After the
beneficiary has incurred $3,850 in out-of-pocket drug expenses, 95% of the
beneficiary's remaining out-of-pocket drug costs for that year are covered by
the plan or the federal government. Medicare Advantage prescription drug
("MA-PD") plans are not required to mirror these limits, but are required to
provide, at a minimum, coverage that is actuarially equivalent to the standard
drug coverage delineated in the MMA. The deductible, co-pay and coverage amounts
will be adjusted by CMS on an annual basis. As additional incentive to enroll in
a Part D prescription drug plan, CMS imposes a cumulative penalty added to a
beneficiary's monthly Part D plan premium in an amount equal to 1% of the
applicable premium for each month between the date of a beneficiary's enrollment
deadline and the beneficiary's actual enrollment. This penalty amount is passed
through the plan to the government. Each Medicare Advantage plan is required to
offer a Part D drug prescription plan as part of its benefits. UAHC-TN currently
offers prescription drug benefits through its PDP and through its MA-PD plan.
DUAL-ELIGIBLE BENEFICIARIES. A "dual-eligible" beneficiary is a person who is
eligible for both Medicare, because of age or other qualifying status, and
Medicaid, because of economic status. Health plans that serve dual-eligible
beneficiaries receive a higher premium from CMS for dual-eligible members.
Currently, CMS pays a higher premium for a dual-eligible beneficiary because a
dual-eligible member generally has a higher risk score corresponding to his or
her higher medical costs. By managing utilization and implementing disease
management programs, many
6
Medicare Advantage plans can profitably care for dual-eligible members. The MMA
provides Part D subsidies and reduced or eliminated deductibles for certain
low-income beneficiaries, including dual-eligible individuals.
BIDDING PROCESS. Although Medicare Advantage plans have continued to be paid on
a capitated, or per member per month, ("PMPM"), basis, as of January 1, 2006,
CMS has used a new rate calculation system for Medicare Advantage plans. The new
system is based on a competitive bidding process that allows the federal
government to share in any cost savings achieved by Medicare Advantage plans. In
general, the statutory payment rate for each county, which is primarily based on
CMS's estimated per beneficiary fee-for-service expenses, was relabeled as the
"benchmark" amount, and local Medicare Advantage plans are required to annually
submit bids that reflect the costs they expect to incur in providing the base
Medicare Part A and Part B benefits in their applicable service areas. If the
bid is less than the benchmark for that year, Medicare is required to pay the
plan its bid amount, risk adjusted based on its risk scores, plus a rebate equal
to 75% of the amount by which the benchmark exceeds the bid, resulting in an
annual adjustment in reimbursement rates. Plans are required to use the rebate
to provide beneficiaries with extra benefits, reduced cost sharing or reduced
premiums, including premiums for MA-PD and other supplemental benefits. CMS has
the right to audit the use of these proceeds. The remaining 25% of the excess
amount is required to be retained in the statutory Medicare trust fund. If a
Medicare Advantage plan's bid is greater than the benchmark, the plan will be
required to charge a premium to enrollees equal to the difference between the
bid amount and the benchmark, which is expected to make such plans less
competitive.
ANNUAL ENROLLMENT AND LOCK-IN. Prior to the MMA, Medicare beneficiaries were
permitted to enroll in a Medicare managed care plan or change plans at any point
during the year. Since January 1, 2006, Medicare beneficiaries have had defined
enrollment periods, similar to commercial plans, in which they can select a
Medicare Advantage plan, stand-alone PDP or traditional fee-for-service
Medicare. For 2007 and subsequent years, the annual enrollment period for a PDP
is from November 15 through December 31 of each year, and enrollment in Medicare
Advantage plans occurs from November 15 through March 31 of the subsequent year.
Enrollment on or prior to December 31 will be effective as of January 1 of the
following year and enrollment on or after January 1 and within the enrollment
period will be effective as of the first day of the month following the date on
which the enrollment occurred. After these defined enrollment periods end,
generally only seniors turning 65 during the year, Medicare beneficiaries who
permanently relocate to another service area, dual-eligible beneficiaries and
others who qualify for special needs plans and employer group retirees will be
permitted to enroll in or change health plans during that plan year.
As of August 16, 2007 there were approximately 591 SNP enrollees in UAHC-TN.
7
MANAGED PLAN PREVIOUSLY OPERATED BY THE COMPANY
For many years prior to November 1, 2002, UAHC managed a health maintenance
organization in Michigan called Omni Care Health Plan ("OmniCare-MI"). As
further described below, OmniCare-MI ceased to be a managed plan operated by the
Company effective November 1, 2002.
While managed by the Company, OmniCare-MI was a not-for-profit, tax-exempt
corporation headquartered in Detroit, Michigan and serving southeastern
Michigan, operating in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe and Washtenaw counties.
Its history included a number of innovations that were adopted and proved
successful for the industry. While managed by the Company, it was the first
network model HMO in the country and the first to capitate physician services in
an IPA-model HMO (an Independent Practice Association model HMO does not employ
physicians as staff, but instead contracts with associations or groups of
independent physicians to provide services to HMO members). OmniCare-MI also
created and implemented the first known mental health capitation carve out in
1983.
While managed by the Company, OmniCare-MI's enrollment was through companies
that offered the health plan coverage to employees and their family members,
through individual enrollment and through the State of Michigan's Medicaid
program pursuant to an agreement with the Michigan Department of Community
Health, which made HMO coverage available to eligible Medicaid beneficiaries in
certain counties and mandatory in others.
As a Michigan HMO, OmniCare-MI was subject to oversight by the State of
Michigan's Commissioner of the Office of Financial and Insurance Services (the
"Commissioner"). On July 31, 2001, pursuant to a motion by the Commissioner, a
State circuit court judge entered an order of rehabilitation of OmniCare-MI (the
"Order") and appointed the Commissioner as Rehabilitator of OmniCare-MI. The
Order directed the Rehabilitator to administer all of OmniCare-MI's assets and
business while attempting to effectuate its rehabilitation, preserve its
provider network and maintain uninterrupted health care services to the greatest
extent possible.
The Order required the Company to continue performing all services under its
OmniCare-MI management agreement, which the Company did until that agreement's
termination on November 1, 2002, pursuant to OmniCare-MI's court-approved
rehabilitation plan.
8
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company is and/or has been subject to extensive federal and state health
care and insurance regulations designed primarily to protect enrollees in our
managed plans, particularly with respect to government sponsored enrollees. Such
regulations govern many aspects of the Company's business affairs and typically
empower state agencies to review management agreements with health care plans
for, among other things, reasonableness of charges. Among the other areas
regulated by federal and state law are licensure requirements, premium rate
increases, new product offerings, procedures for quality assurance, enrollment
requirements, covered benefits, service area expansion, provider relationships
and the financial condition of the managed plans, including cash reserve
requirements and dividend restrictions. There can be no assurances that the
Company or UAHC-TN will be granted the necessary approvals for new products or
will maintain federal qualifications or state licensure.
The licensing and operation of UAHC-TN are governed by the Tennessee statutes
and regulations applicable to health maintenance organizations. The licenses are
subject to denial, limitation, suspension or revocation if there is a
determination that the plan is operating out of compliance with the state's HMO
statute, failing to provide quality health services, establishing rates that are
unfair or unreasonable, failing to fulfill obligations under outstanding
agreements or operating on an unsound fiscal basis. UAHC-TN is not a
federally-qualified HMO and, therefore, is not subject to the federal HMO Act.
Federal and state regulation of health care plans and managed care products is
subject to frequent change, varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and
generally gives responsible administrative agencies broad discretion. Laws and
regulations relating to the Company's business are subject to amendment and/or
interpretation in each jurisdiction. In particular, legislation mandating
managed care for Medicaid recipients is often subject to change and may not
initially be accompanied by administrative rules and guidelines. Changes in
federal or state governmental regulation could affect the Company's operations,
profitability and business prospects. While the Company is unable to predict
what additional government regulations, if any, affecting its business may be
enacted in the future or how existing or future regulations may be interpreted,
regulatory revisions may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
INSURANCE
The Company presently carries comprehensive general liability, directors and
officers' liability, property, business automobile, and workers' compensation
insurance. Management believes that coverage levels under these policies are
adequate in view of the risks associated with the Company's business. In
addition, UAHC-TN has (and OmniCare-MI while managed by the Company had)
professional liability insurance that covers liability claims arising from
medical malpractice. UAHC-TN is required to pay the professional liability
insurance premiums under the terms of the Company's management agreement. There
can be no assurance as to the future availability or cost of such insurance, or
that the Company's business risks will be maintained within the limits of such
insurance coverage.
9
COMPETITION
The managed care industry is highly competitive. The Company directly competes
with other entities that provide health care plan management services, some of
which are nonprofit corporations and others, which have significantly greater
financial and administrative resources. The Company primarily competes on the
basis of fee arrangements, cost effectiveness and the range and quality of
services offered to prospective health care clients. While the Company believes
that its experience gives it certain competitive advantages over existing and
potential new competitors, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete effectively in the future.
The Company competes with other HMOs, PPOs and insurance companies. The level of
this competition may affect, among other things, the operating revenues of
UAHC-TN and, therefore, the revenues of the Company. UAHC-TN's Medicaid primary
market competitors in western Tennessee are TLC Family Health Plan, Unison
Health Plan, and TennCare Select. UAHC-TN's Medicare primary market competitors
in western Tennessee are Healthspring, Unison and Windsor. UAHC-TN primarily
competes on the basis of enrollment, provider networks and other related plan
features and criteria. Management believes that UAHC-TN is able to compete
effectively with its primary market competitors.
EMPLOYEES
The Company's ability to maintain its competitive position and expand its
business into new markets depends, in significant part, upon the maintenance of
its relationships with various existing senior officers, as well as its ability
to attract and retain qualified health care management professionals. The
Company neither has nor intends to pursue any long-term employment agreement
with any of its key personnel. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the
Company will be able to maintain such relationships or attract such
professionals.
The total number of employees of the Company at August 1, 2007 was 115 compared
to 107 at August 1, 2006. The Company's employees do not belong to a collective
bargaining unit and management considers its relations with employees to be
good.
10
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Set forth below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K annual report are some of the
principal risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual business results
to differ materially from any forward-looking statements contained in this
report. These risk factors should be considered in addition to our cautionary
comments concerning forward-looking statements in this report. If any of the
following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be adversely affected. In such event, the trading price of our
common stock could decline. In the following portion of this Item 1A, the words
"we," "us" and "our" sometimes specifically mean and refer to our subsidiary
UAHC-TN, when the context so indicates. Such factors potentially include, among
others, the following:
REDUCTIONS IN FUNDING FOR GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS COULD SUBSTANTIALLY
REDUCE OUR PROFITABILITY.
Substantially all of the healthcare services we offer are through
government-sponsored programs, such as Medicaid and Medicare. As a result, our
profitability is dependent, in large part, on continued funding for government
healthcare programs at or above current levels. Future Medicaid premium rate
levels may be affected by continued government efforts to contain medical costs
or state and federal budgetary constraints.
Changes in Medicaid funding, for example, may lead to reductions in the number
of persons enrolled in or eligible for Medicaid, reductions in the amount of
reimbursement or elimination of coverage for certain benefits. Reductions in
Medicaid payments could reduce our profitability if we are unable to reduce our
related expenses. Reductions in payments under Medicare or the other programs
under which we offer health and prescription drug plans could similarly reduce
our profitability.
CMS'S RISK ADJUSTMENT PAYMENT SYSTEM AND BUDGET NEUTRALITY FACTORS MAKE OUR
REVENUE AND PROFITABILITY DIFFICULT TO PREDICT AND COULD RESULT IN MATERIAL
RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS TO OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") has implemented a risk
adjustment payment system for Medicare health plans to improve the accuracy of
payments and establish incentives for Medicare plans to enroll and treat less
healthy Medicare beneficiaries. CMS is phasing in this payment methodology with
a risk adjustment model that bases a portion of the total CMS reimbursement
payments on various clinical and demographic factors that include: hospital
inpatient diagnoses; diagnosis data from ambulatory treatment settings,
including hospital outpatient facilities and physician visits; gender; age; and
Medicaid eligibility. CMS requires that all managed care companies capture,
collect and submit the necessary diagnosis code information to CMS twice a year
for reconciliation with CMS's internal database. As a result, it is difficult to
predict with any certainty our future revenue or profitability. In addition, our
SNP risk scores for any period may result in favorable or unfavorable
adjustments to the payments we receive from CMS and our Medicare premium
revenue.
11
Payments to Medicare Advantage plans are also adjusted by a "budget neutrality"
factor that Congress and CMS implemented in 2003 to prevent overall reductions
in health plan payments while at the same time directing risk-adjusted payments
to plans with more chronically ill enrollees. In general, this adjustment
favorably impacted payments to Medicare Advantage plans. In February 2006, the
President signed legislation that reduced federal funding for Medicare Advantage
plans by approximately $6.5 billion over five years. Among other changes, the
legislation provided for an accelerated phase-out of budget neutrality for
risk-adjusted payments made to Medicare Advantage plans. These legislative
changes will in general result in reduced payments to Medicare Advantage plans.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ESTIMATE INCURRED BUT NOT REPORTED MEDICAL BENEFITS EXPENSE
ACCURATELY, THAT COULD AFFECT OUR REPORTED FINANCIAL RESULTS.
Our medical benefits expense includes estimates of medical claims incurred but
not reported ("IBNR"). Together with our internal and consulting actuaries, we
estimate our medical cost liabilities using actuarial methods based on
historical data adjusted for payment patterns, cost trends, product mix,
seasonality, utilization of healthcare services and other relevant factors.
Actual conditions could, however, differ from those assumed in the estimation
process. We continually review and update our estimation methods and the
resulting reserves and make adjustments, if necessary, to medical benefits
expense when the criteria used to determine IBNR change and when actual claim
costs are ultimately determined. Due to the uncertainties associated with the
factors used in these assumptions, the actual amount of medical benefits expense
that we incur may be materially more than the amount of IBNR originally
estimated. If our future estimates of IBNR are inadequate, our reported results
of operations could be negatively impacted. Our limited ability to estimate IBNR
accurately could also affect our ability to take timely corrective actions,
exacerbating the extent of any adverse effect on our results.
OUR RECORDS MAY CONTAIN INACCURATE INFORMATION REGARDING THE RISK ADJUSTMENT
SCORES OF OUR MEMBERS, WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO OVERSTATE OR UNDERSTATE OUR
REVENUE.
We maintain claims and encounter data that support the risk adjustment scores of
our members, which partly determine the revenue we are entitled to for them.
These data are submitted to us based on medical charts and diagnosis codes
prepared by providers of medical care. Inaccurate coding by medical providers
and inaccurate records for new members in our plan could result in inaccurate
premium revenue and risk adjustment payments, which are subject to correction or
update in later periods. Payments that we receive in connection with such
corrected or updated information may be reflected in financial statements for
periods subsequent to the period in which the revenue was earned. We may also
find that our data regarding our members' risk adjustment scores, when
reconciled, requires that we refund a portion of the revenue that we received.
THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY.
Payments for local and regional Medicare Advantage plans are based on a
competitive bidding process that may decrease the amount of premiums paid to us
or cause us to increase the benefits we offer without a corresponding increase
in premiums. As a result of the competitive bidding
12
process, in order to maintain our current level of profitability, in the future
we may need to reduce benefits or charge our members an additional premium,
either of which could make our health plan less attractive to members and
adversely affect our membership.
WE DERIVE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR REVENUES FROM OUR TENNCARE OPERATIONS,
AND LEGISLATIVE OR REGULATORY ACTIONS, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OR OTHER FACTORS THAT
ADVERSELY AFFECT THOSE OPERATIONS COULD MATERIALLY REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND
PROFITS.
For the year ended June 30, 2007, our TennCare operations accounted for 93.9% of
our total revenues. If we are unable to continue to operate in Tennessee or if
our current operations in any portion of Tennessee are significantly curtailed,
our revenues will decrease materially. Our substantial reliance on TennCare
operations in Tennessee could cause our revenues and profitability to change
suddenly and unexpectedly, depending on legislative or regulatory actions,
economic conditions and similar factors.
WE DERIVE ALL OF OUR MEDICARE REVENUES FROM OUR SNP OPERATIONS, AND LEGISLATIVE
OR REGULATORY ACTIONS, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OR OTHER FACTORS THAT ADVERSELY
AFFECT THOSE OPERATIONS COULD MATERIALLY REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND PROFITS.
Because special needs plans (each a "SNP") are relatively new to Medicare and to
the health insurance market generally, we do not know whether we will be able to
sustain our SNP operation's profitability over the long-term, and our failure to
do so could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Factors that
could effect our SNP operations include legislative, regulatory, intensity of
competition, and utilization of benefit risks. In addition, Medicare
beneficiaries who are dual-eligibles generally are able to disenroll and choose
another SNP at any time, and certain Medicare beneficiaries also have a limited
ability to disenroll from the SNP they initially select and choose a different
SNP. We may not be able to retain the auto-assigned members or those members who
affirmatively choose our SNP, and we may not be able to attract new SNP members.
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING FOR THE MEDICARE PART D BENEFITS IS COMPLEX AND REQUIRES
DIFFICULT ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS.
The Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 ("MMA")
provides for "risk corridors" designed to limit to some extent the losses SNPs
would incur if their actual costs are higher than estimated in their bids
submitted to CMS. For example, for 2007 drug plans bear all gains and losses up
to 2.5% of their expected costs, but are reimbursed for 75% of the losses
between 2.5% and 5%, and 80% of the losses in excess of 5%. The initial risk
corridors in 2007 will not be available in 2008 or later years. As the risk
corridors are designed to be symmetrical, a plan whose actual costs are below
its expected costs is required to reimburse CMS based on a methodology similar
to that set forth above. Reconciliation payments for estimated upfront federal
reinsurance payments, or in some cases the entire amount of reinsurance
payments, for Medicare beneficiaries who reach the drug benefits catastrophic
threshold are made retroactively on an annual basis, which could expose plans to
upfront costs in providing the benefit.
13
The accounting and regulatory guidance regarding the proper method of accounting
for Medicare Part D, particularly as it relates to the timing of revenue and
expense recognition, taken together with the complexity of the Part D product
may lead to variability in our reporting of quarter-to-quarter earnings related
to Medicare Part D.
IF STATE REGULATORS DO NOT APPROVE PAYMENTS BY OUR HEALTH PLAN TO US, OUR
BUSINESS AND GROWTH STRATEGY COULD BE MATERIALLY IMPAIRED OR WE COULD BE
REQUIRED TO INCUR INDEBTEDNESS TO FUND THESE STRATEGIES.
Our health plan subsidiary, UAHC-TN, is subject to laws and regulations that
limit the amount of dividends and distributions it can pay to us for purposes
other than to pay income taxes related to its earnings. These laws and
regulations also limit the amount of management fees UAHC-TN may pay to its
affiliates, including our management subsidiary, United American of Tennessee,
Inc., without prior approval of, or notification to, state regulators. If the
regulators were to deny or significantly restrict our subsidiary's requests to
pay dividends to us or to pay management and other fees to its affiliate,
however, the funds available to us would be limited, which could impair our
ability to implement our business and growth strategy. Alternatively, we could
be required to incur indebtedness to fund these strategies.
WE ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH LAWS GOVERNING THE TRANSMISSION, SECURITY AND
PRIVACY OF HEALTH INFORMATION THAT REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT COMPLIANCE COSTS, AND ANY
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE LAWS COULD RESULT IN MATERIAL CRIMINAL AND CIVIL
PENALTIES.
Regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996, commonly called HIPAA, require us to comply with standards regarding the
exchange of health information within our Company and with third parties,
including healthcare providers, business associates and our members. These
regulations include standards for common healthcare transactions, including
claims information, plan eligibility and payment information; unique identifiers
for providers and employers; security; privacy; and enforcement. We conduct our
operations in an attempt to comply with all applicable HIPAA requirements. Given
the complexity of the HIPAA regulations, the possibility that the regulations
may change and the fact that the regulations are subject to changing and
sometimes conflicting interpretation, our ongoing ability to comply with the
HIPAA requirements is uncertain. Additionally, the costs of complying with any
changes to the HIPAA regulations may have a negative impact on our operations.
Sanctions for failing to comply with the HIPAA health information provisions
include criminal penalties and civil sanctions, including significant monetary
penalties. A failure by us to comply with state health information laws that may
be more restrictive than the HIPAA regulations could result in additional
penalties.
IF OUR MEDICAID AND MEDICARE CONTRACTS ARE NOT EXTENDED OR ARE TERMINATED, OUR
BUSINESS WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRED.
We provide services to our Medicaid and Medicare eligible members through two
contracts, UAHC-TN's TennCare contract and its Medicare Advantage contract with
CMS. These contracts' current terms expire December 31, 2007. UAHC-TN expects to
receive notice of the extension of the terms of both contracts from the
respective government agencies before that
14
date. Each contract is terminable for cause if we breach a material provision of
the contract or violate relevant laws or regulations. If either of these
contracts were terminated or not extended, or if we were unable to successfully
rebid or compete for either of these contracts, our business would be materially
impaired.
BECAUSE OUR PREMIUMS ARE ESTABLISHED BY CONTRACT AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED DURING
THE CONTRACT TERM, OUR PROFITABILITY WILL LIKELY BE REDUCED OR WE COULD CEASE TO
BE PROFITABLE IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MANAGE OUR MEDICAL EXPENSES EFFECTIVELY.
Our SNP revenue is generated by premiums consisting of monthly payments per
member that are established by the contract with CMS for our Medicare Advantage
plan. If our medical expenses exceed our estimates, except in very limited
circumstances or as a result of risk score adjustments for Medicare member
health acuity, we will be unable to increase the premiums we receive under the
contract during its then-current term. As a result, our profitability depends,
to a significant degree, on our ability to adequately predict and effectively
manage our medical expenses related to the provision of healthcare services.
Relatively small changes in our medical loss ratio can create significant
changes in our financial results. Accordingly, failure to adequately predict and
control medical expenses or to make reasonable estimates and maintain adequate
accruals for incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
COMPETITION IN OUR MEDICARE ADVANTAGE SERVICE AREA MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO
MAINTAIN OR ATTRACT MEMBERS, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
We operate in a competitive environment subject to significant changes as a
result of business consolidations, evolving Medicare products, new strategic
alliances and aggressive marketing practices by other managed care organizations
that compete with us for members. Our principal competitors for contracts,
members and providers in our local service area include national, regional and
local managed care organizations that serve Medicare. Many managed care
companies and other new Part D plan participants have greater financial and
other resources, larger enrollments, broader ranges of products and benefits,
broader geographical coverage, more established reputations in the national
market and our market, greater market share, larger contracting scale and lower
costs than us. Our failure to maintain or attract members to our Medicare
Advantage health plan as a result of such competition could adversely affect our
results of operations.
A FAILURE TO MAINTAIN OUR TENNCARE MEMBERS OR INCREASE OUR SNP MEMBERSHIP COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
A reduction in the number of members in our TennCare plan, or a failure to
increase our SNP membership, could adversely affect our results of operations.
In addition to competition, factors that potentially could contribute to the
loss of, or failure to attract and retain, members include:
- negative accreditation results or loss of licenses or contracts to
offer Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans;
- negative publicity and news coverage relating to us or the managed
healthcare industry generally;
15
- litigation or threats of litigation against us;
- automatic disenrollment, whether intentional or inadvertent, as a
result of members choosing another plan; and
- our inability to market to and re-enroll members who enroll with our
competitors because of the new annual enrollment and lock-in
provisions under the MMA.
A DISRUPTION IN OUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER NETWORKS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON
OUR OPERATIONS AND PROFITABILITY.
Our operations and profitability are dependent in part on our ability to
contract with healthcare providers and provider networks on favorable terms. In
any particular service area, healthcare providers or provider networks might
refuse to contract with us, demand higher payments or take other actions that
could result in higher healthcare costs, disruption of benefits to our members
or difficulty in meeting our regulatory or accreditation requirements. If
healthcare providers refuse to contract with us, use their market position to
negotiate favorable contracts or place us at a competitive disadvantage, then
our ability to market products or to be profitable in our service area could be
adversely affected. Our provider networks could also be disrupted by the
financial insolvency of a large provider group. Any disruption in our provider
network could result in a loss of membership or higher healthcare costs.
WE RELY ON THE ACCURACY OF LISTS PROVIDED BY CMS REGARDING THE ELIGIBILITY OF A
PERSON TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR PLAN, AND ANY INACCURACIES IN THOSE LISTS COULD
CAUSE CMS TO RECOUP PREMIUM PAYMENTS FROM US WITH RESPECT TO MEMBERS WHO ARE NOT
OURS, WHICH COULD REDUCE OUR REVENUE AND PROFITABILITY.
Premium payments that we receive from CMS are based upon eligibility lists
produced by federal and local governments. From time to time, CMS may require us
to reimburse it for any premiums that we received from CMS based on eligibility
and dual-eligibility lists that CMS later discovers contained individuals who
were not in fact residing in our service area or eligible for any
government-sponsored program or were eligible for a different premium category
or a different program. We may have already provided services to these
individuals. In addition to CMS's potential recoupment of premiums previously
paid, we also are at risk that CMS might fail to pay us for members for whom we
are entitled to payment. Our profitability would be reduced as a result of such
failure to receive payment from CMS if we had made related payments to providers
and were unable to recoup such payments from them.
OUTSOURCED SERVICE PROVIDERS MAY MAKE MISTAKES AND SUBJECT US TO FINANCIAL LOSS
OR LEGAL LIABILITY.
We outsource certain of the functions associated with providing managed care and
management services, including claims processing. The service providers to whom
we outsource these functions and provide data could inadvertently or incorrectly
adjust, revise, omit or transmit the data in a manner that could create
inaccuracies in our risk adjustment information, cause us to
16
overstate or understate our revenue, cause us to authorize incorrect payment
levels to members of our provider networks, or violate certain laws and
regulations, such as HIPAA.
NEGATIVE PUBLICITY REGARDING THE MANAGED HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY GENERALLY OR THE
COMPANY IN PARTICULAR COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR
BUSINESS.
Negative publicity regarding the managed healthcare industry generally or the
Company in particular may result in increased regulation and legislative review
of industry practices that further increase our costs of doing business and
adversely affect our results of operations by:
- requiring us to change our products and services;
- increasing the regulatory burdens under which we operate;
- adversely affecting our ability to market our products or services;
or
- adversely affecting our ability to attract and retain members.
WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND THE LOSS OF ANY ONE OR MORE OF
THEM AND THEIR MANAGED CARE EXPERTISE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Our operations are highly dependent on the efforts of William C. Brooks, our
President and Chief Executive Officer, and certain other senior executives who
have been instrumental in developing our business strategy and forging our
business relationships. The Company neither has nor intends to pursue any
long-term employment agreement with any of its key personnel. Accordingly, there
is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain such relationships or
attract such professionals. Although we believe we could replace any executive
we lose, the loss of the leadership, knowledge and experience of Mr. Brooks and
our other executive officers could adversely affect our business. Moreover,
replacing one or more of our executives may be difficult or may require an
extended period of time. We do not currently maintain key man insurance on any
of our executive officers.
VIOLATION OF THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO US COULD EXPOSE US TO
LIABILITY, REDUCE OUR REVENUE AND PROFITABILITY OR OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR OPERATIONS AND OPERATING RESULTS.
The federal and state agencies administering the laws and regulations applicable
to us have broad discretion to enforce them. We are subject on an ongoing basis
to various governmental reviews, audits and investigations to verify our
compliance with our contracts, licenses and applicable laws and regulations. An
adverse review, audit or investigation could result in any of the following:
- loss of our right to participate in the Medicare program;
- loss of our license to act as an HMO or to otherwise provide a
service;
- forfeiture or recoupment of amounts we have been paid pursuant to
our contracts;
17
- imposition of significant civil or criminal penalties, fines or
other sanctions on us and our key employees;
- damage to our reputation in existing and potential markets;
- increased restrictions on marketing our products and services; and
- inability to obtain approval for future products and services,
geographic expansions or acquisitions.
CLAIMS RELATING TO MEDICAL MALPRACTICE AND OTHER LITIGATION COULD CAUSE US TO
INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES.
From time to time, we are party to various litigation matters, some of which
seek monetary damages. Managed care organizations may be sued directly for
alleged negligence, including in connection with the credentialing of network
providers or for alleged improper denials or delay of care. In addition, our
providers involved in medical care decisions may be exposed to the risk of
medical malpractice claims. Although our network providers are independent
contractors, claimants sometimes allege that a managed care organization should
be held responsible for alleged provider malpractice, and some courts have
permitted that theory of liability.
Similar to other managed care companies, we may also be subject to other claims
of our members in the ordinary course of business, including claims of improper
marketing practices by our independent and employee sales agents and claims
arising out of decisions to deny or restrict reimbursement for services.
We cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any pending litigation
or potential future litigation, and there can be no assurance that we will not
incur substantial expense in defending future lawsuits or indemnifying third
parties with respect to the results of such litigation. The loss of even one of
these claims, if it results in a significant damage award, could have a material
adverse effect on our business. In addition, our exposure to potential liability
under punitive damage or other theories could significantly decrease our ability
to settle these claims on reasonable terms.
We maintain errors and omissions insurance and other insurance coverage that we
believe are adequate based on industry standards. Potential liabilities may not
be covered by insurance, our insurers may dispute coverage or may be unable to
meet their obligations or the amount of our insurance coverage and related
reserves may be inadequate.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain insurance coverage in
the future, or that insurance will continue to be available on a cost-effective
basis, if at all. Moreover, even if claims brought against us are unsuccessful
or without merit, we would have to defend ourselves against such claims. The
defense of any such actions may be time-consuming and costly and may distract
our management's attention. As a result, we might incur significant expenses and
might be unable to effectively operate our business.
18
IF WE ARE UNABLE OR FAIL TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE AND SECURE MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION SYSTEMS, SUCCESSFULLY UPDATE OR EXPAND PROCESSING CAPABILITY OR
DEVELOP NEW CAPABILITIES TO MEET OUR BUSINESS NEEDS, THAT COULD RESULT IN
OPERATIONAL DISRUPTIONS AND OTHER ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES.
Our business depends significantly on effective and secure information systems.
The information gathered and processed by our management information systems
assists us in, among other things, marketing and sales tracking, billing, claims
processing, medical management, medical care cost and utilization trending,
financial and management accounting, reporting, planning and analysis. These
information systems and applications require continual maintenance, upgrading
and enhancement to meet our operational needs and handle our expansion and
growth. Any inability or failure to properly maintain management information
systems or related disaster recovery programs, successfully update or expand
processing capability or develop new capabilities to meet our business needs in
a timely manner could result in operational disruptions, loss of existing
members, difficulty in attracting new members or in implementing our growth
strategies, disputes with members and providers, regulatory problems, increases
in administrative expenses, loss of our ability to produce timely and accurate
reports, and other adverse consequences. To the extent a failure in maintaining
effective information systems occurs, we may need to contract for these services
with third-party management companies, which could be on less favorable terms to
us and could significantly disrupt our operations and information flow.
Furthermore, our business requires the secure transmission of confidential
information over public networks. Because of the confidential health information
we store and transmit, security breaches could expose us to a risk of regulatory
action, litigation and possible liability and loss. Our security measures may be
inadequate to prevent security breaches and our business operations and
profitability could be adversely affected by cancellation of contracts, loss of
members and potential criminal and civil sanctions if they are not prevented.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING, INVESTORS COULD LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THE RELIABILITY OF OUR FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Because of our status as a public company, we are required to enhance and test
our financial, internal and management control systems to meet obligations
imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We have worked and are working with
our independent legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas
in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems.
These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, internal audit,
disclosure controls and procedures, and financial reporting and accounting
systems. Consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of
the SEC, management's assessment of our internal controls over financial
reporting and the audit opinion of the Company's independent registered
accounting firm as to the effectiveness of our controls will be first required
in connection with the Company's filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. If we are unable to timely identify,
implement and conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial
reporting or if our independent auditors are unable to conclude that our
internal controls over financial reporting are effective,
19
investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements,
which could result in a decrease in the value of our common stock. Our
assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may also uncover
weaknesses or other issues with these controls that could also result in adverse
investor reaction.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company currently leases approximately 30,000 aggregate square feet in
Detroit, Michigan and Memphis, Tennessee, from which it conducts its operations
in Michigan and Tennessee. The principal offices of the Company are located at
300 River Place, Suite 4950, Detroit, Michigan, where it currently leases
approximately 3,800 square feet of office space.
The Company believes that its current facilities provide sufficient space
suitable for all of its activities and that sufficient other space will be
available on reasonable terms, if needed.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On March 17, 2006, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan consolidated two cases collectively called "In re United American
Healthcare Corporation Securities Litigation," Master File No.
2:2005cv72112(LPZ/RSW). The complaints had been filed on May 27, 2005 and June
16, 2005 by Gregory Zaluski and William Coleman, respectively, against the
Company and certain of its present and past officers. The plaintiffs, each on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, alleged that in the period
from May 26, 2000 through April 22, 2005, the Company made materially false and
misleading statements in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, with the alleged result of artificially
inflating the market price of the Company's stock during that period. Both
complaints alleged that as a direct result of facts publicly disclosed by the
Company in April 2005, the Company's stock price dropped by about $3.39. Each
plaintiff claimed to represent a class consisting of others who purchased the
Company's stock during the specified period. The plaintiffs sought to recover
damages on behalf of themselves and the proposed class. Pursuant to a motion by
the Company and the other defendants, the U.S. District Court dismissed the
consolidated complaint against all defendants with prejudice on January 30,
2007. On March 1, 2007, the plaintiffs appealed the dismissal order to the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Both sides have filed appellate briefs,
and any final appellate briefs are due September 26, 2007.
20
The Company is a defendant with others in a lawsuit that commenced in February
2005 in the Circuit Court for the 30th Judicial Circuit, in the County of
Ingham, Michigan, Case No. 05127CK, entitled "Provider Creditors Committee on
behalf of Michigan Health Maintenance Organizations Plans, Inc. v. United
American Health Care Corporation and others, et al." The complaint seeks damages
in excess of $62 million from the Company and other defendants based on
allegations that the Company breached its management agreement with OmniCare
Health Plan in Michigan ("OmniCare-MI") and that the Company's actions as the
management company of OmniCare-MI resulted in such alleged damages. The Company
filed an answer and affirmative defenses and a motion for partial summary
disposition seeking dismissal of numerous counts; and the defendants filed a
joint motion for change of venue and for partial summary disposition seeking
dismissal of numerous counts. The trial judge denied the change-of-venue motion
but ordered a stay of the case pending appeal of that decision to the Michigan
Court of Appeals. On March 29, 2007, the Michigan Court of Appeals reversed the
trial court's order that had denied the Company's and other defendants' motion
for change of venue. The Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the defendants,
ordering the transfer of the case from the Ingham County Circuit Court to the
Wayne County Circuit Court in Detroit, Michigan. The Company intends to
vigorously defend the lawsuit.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
This Financial Review discusses the Company's results of operations, financial
position and liquidity. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained elsewhere
in this annual report.
This discussion and the information elsewhere in this 10-K annual report contain

The Company provides comprehensive management and consulting services to UAHC
Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc. ("UAHC-TN"), a managed care organization ("MCO")
which is a wholly owned second-tier subsidiary of United American Healthcare
Corporation. Since November 1993, UAHC-TN has had a contract with the State of
Tennessee for the State's "TennCare" program, to arrange for the financing and
delivery of health care services on a capitated basis to eligible Medicaid
beneficiaries and non-Medicaid individuals who lack access to private or
employer sponsored health insurance or to another government health plan.
Through successive contractual amendments, UAHC-TN's TennCare contract has been
extended many times, most recently through December 31, 2007. As of June 30,
2007, UAHC-TN's total enrollment was 106,587 members, compared to 113,951 at
June 30, 2006.
On October 10, 2006, UAHC-TN entered into a contract with the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to act as a Medicare Advantage qualified
organization. The contract authorizes UAHC-TN to serve members enrolled in both
the Tennessee Medicaid and Medicare programs, commonly referred to as
"dual-eligibles," specifically to offer a Special Needs Plan ("SNP") to its
eligible members in Shelby County, Tennessee (including the City of Memphis),
and to operate a Voluntary Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, both beginning
January 1, 2007. The initial contract term is through December 31, 2007, after
which the contract may be renewed for successive one-year periods in accordance
with its terms.

REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 2007 COMPARED TO 2006
UAHC-TN DEVELOPMENTS
UAHC-TN's results of operations for fiscal 2007 and 2006 are best understood in
the context of certain earlier events involving several of TennCare's major
contracted MCOs, which ceased doing business in fiscal 2002. Beginning in
February, March and April 2002, UAHC-TN unexpectedly noticed increases in its
claims payments, investigated, and found that approximately 9,500 new members
added in September-December 2001 represented children with special needs with
medical costs over 100% of the premiums received, and that many members
transferred to UAHC-TN from failed MCOs also had medical costs in excess of
UAHC-TN's premiums received. Beginning in April 2002, UAHC-TN wrote to TennCare
seeking risk adjustments and reimbursements to compensate UAHC-TN for such
medical expenses, including for actuarially estimated claims incurred but not
yet reported to UAHC-TN.
TennCare responded to its MCOs' situation generally and in some instances
individually. For all its contracted MCOs generally, TennCare changed its
reimbursement system to an administrative services only ("ASO") program for an
18-month stabilization period (July 1, 2002 through December 31, 2003), during
which the MCOs - including UAHC-TN - had no medical cost risk (i.e., no risk for
medical losses), earned fixed administrative fees and were subject to increased
oversight. Through successive contractual amendments, TennCare extended the ASO
reimbursement system applicable to UAHC-TN, first through June 30, 2004, then
through December 31, 2004, and then through June 30, 2005.
Through an amendment with an effective date of July 1, 2005, TennCare
implemented a modified risk arrangement with all its contracted MCOs, including
UAHC-TN, under which they are at risk for losing up to 10% of administrative fee
revenue and may receive up to 15% incentive bonus revenue based on performance
relative to benchmarks. TennCare also disenrolled approximately 100,000
non-medically needy adults who were not eligible for Medicaid from TennCare
coverage statewide, and imposed benefit limits on the 396,000 adults left in the
program who were eligible for Medicaid. As a result, UAHC-TN lost approximately
12,000 members during fiscal 2006.
The Company and TennCare are parties to two escrow agreements under which the
Company funded, on August 5, 2005, two escrow accounts held by TennCare at the
State Treasury. One, in the original amount of $2,300,000, is security for
repayment to TennCare of any overpayments to UAHC-TN that may be determined by a
pending audit of all UAHC-TN process claims since 2002. The other escrow
account, in the original amount of $420,500, is security for any money damages
that may be awarded to TennCare in the event of any future litigation between
the parties in connection with certain pending investigations by state and
federal authorities. TennCare and the Company reached agreement in August 2007
to amend both escrow agreements, and the Company has signed TennCare's written
amendment documents and returned them to TennCare for its signature. Under both
amendments, when also signed by TennCare, both escrow accounts will terminate 30
days after the conclusion of such investigations, unless the parties earlier
agree otherwise. In addition, under one of the amendments, when signed by
TennCare, the Company expects to be paid $1,289,851.24 plus
25
accumulated interest earnings from the larger escrow account, leaving
$1,010,148.76 in that account in recognition of the potential level of claims'
inaccuracy found on preliminary review by the Tennessee Department of Commerce
and Insurance. The escrow accounts bear interest at a rate no lower than the
prevailing commercial interest rates for savings accounts at financial
institutions in Nashville, Tennessee. All amounts (including interest earnings)
credited to the escrow accounts will belong to the Company, except to the
extent, if any, they are paid to TennCare to satisfy amounts determined to be
owed to TennCare as provided in the escrow agreements. Both escrow agreements
recite that TennCare does not at that time assert there has been any breach of
UAHC-TN's TennCare contract and that the Company has funded the escrow accounts
as a show of goodwill and good faith in working with TennCare.
As a result of a state regulatory audit of UAHC-TN's process claims since 2002,
UAHC-TN was notified in late fiscal 2007 by the third party auditor that UAHC-TN
may have incorrectly received an overpayment of $1.1 million for medical claims
as a result of a discrepancy in the pricing methodology. As a result, UAHC-TN
recorded a reserve of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. In
addition, based on a subsequent regulatory evaluation conducted by the Tennessee
Department of Commerce and Insurance, it was determined that TennCare overpaid
UAHC-TN $0.4 million in excess of UAHC-TN's statutory net worth requirement as
of June 30, 2002, based on a 2002 contractual agreement. The Company recorded a
reserve for this amount in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. These items have
been reflected as "Provision for claims audit and other commitment" on our
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SPECIFIC COMPARISONS OF 2007 TO 2006
Total revenues were unchanged at $18.1 million for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2007 compared to $18.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The
increase in medical premiums revenues associated with UAHC-TN's Medicare
Advantage SNP product ("MA-SNP") as well as an increase in modified risk revenue
were offset by a decrease in fixed administrative fees.
MA-SNP medical premiums revenues were $0.9 million for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2007, under UAHC-TN's contract with CMS that began January 1, 2007.
There were no TennCare medical premiums revenues for the fiscal years ended June
30, 2007 and 2006.
The net MA-SNP per member per month ("PMPM") premium rate, based on an average
membership of 155 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $979. for that
six-month period.
Fixed administrative fees related to the MRA program were $15.5 million for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $1.1 million (6%) from fixed
administrative fees of $16.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
The decrease in fixed administrative fees is principally due to a decrease in
members.
Variable administrative fees resulting from MRA were $0.5 million for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.4 million for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2006. The $0.5 million MRA revenue received in fiscal 2007 relates to the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. UAHC-TN received notice from TennCare that it
earned additional MRA revenue of $0.2
26
million, $0.2 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, for its performance for
the first, second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006. Such additional revenue
has been recorded, and UAHC-TN received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007
such $0.5 million of additional MRA revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal
2006. UAHC-TN expects to similarly earn additional MRA revenue for the third
quarter of fiscal 2006 and additional MRA revenues for fiscal 2007. The Company
will record such and any other additional MRA earnings only upon receipt of
final notification thereof from TennCare.
Total expenses were $19.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007,
compared to $16.6 million for the prior fiscal year, an increase of $2.5 million
(15%). The increase is principally due to a reserve against the restricted
assets related to the claims audit escrow account and marketing costs associated
with the launch of MA-SNP. See discussion of the claims audit escrow below under
"Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Medical expenses for MA-SNP (beginning January 1, 2007) were $0.9 million during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Medical expenses generally consist of claim
payments, pharmacy costs, and estimates of future payments of claims provided
for services rendered prior to the end of the reporting period (such estimates
of medical claims incurred but not reported are also known as "IBNR"). The IBNR
was primarily based on medical cost estimates from historical data provided by
CMS and emerging medical claims experience together with current factors using
accepted actuarial methods. As UAHC-TN gains more claims experience for its
Medicare Advantage members, less reliance will be placed on medical cost
estimates based on historical data provided by CMS. The percentage of such
medical expenses to medical premiums revenues for MA-SNP -- the medical loss
ratio ("MLR") -- was 90% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
General and administrative expenses were $16.6 million for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2007, as compared with $16.5 million for the prior fiscal year, an
increase of $0.1 million. The increase is principally due to marketing costs
associated with the launch of MA-SNP.
Depreciation and amortization expense remained constant at $0.1 million for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006.
Loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $1.1 million for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to earnings from continuing operations
before income taxes of $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
Such decrease in earnings from continuing operations of $2.6 million, or $0.32
per basic share, is principally due to a provision for claims audit and other
commitment, a decrease in administrative fee revenue and an increase in general
and administrative expenses related to the launch of MA-SNP.
Income tax expense was $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007
compared to $0.1 million for the prior fiscal year. The Company's effective tax
rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 differs from the statutory rate of
34%. This difference is the result of various book-tax differences that result
in taxable income that differs from the book loss.
27
Net loss was $1.1 million, or $(0.14) per basic share, for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2007, compared to net earnings of $1.4 million, or $0.18 per basic
share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $2.4 million
(181%). Such decrease in net earnings is principally due to a provision for
claims audit and other commitment, a decrease in administrative fee revenue and
an increase in general and administrative expenses as discussed above.
REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 2006 TO 2005
Total revenues were $18.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006
compared to $22.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
There were no medical premiums revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006,
compared to medical premiums revenues of $0.02 million for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2005. Effective July 1, 2002, TennCare changed its reimbursement system
to an ASO program for an initially declared 18-month stabilization period,
subsequently extended through June 30, 2005. Beginning and since July 1, 2005,
TennCare has operated under a modified risk arrangement.
Fixed administrative fees related to the MRA program were $16.6 million for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $3.9 million (21%) from fixed
administrative fees of $20.9 million for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in
fixed administrative fees is principally due to a decrease in members. UAHC-TN
received notice from TennCare that it earned additional MRA revenue of $0.2
million, $0.2 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, for its performance for
the first, second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006. Such additional revenue
has been recorded, and UAHC-TN received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007
such $0.5 million of additional MRA revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal
2006. UAHC-TN expects to similarly earn additional MRA revenue of approximately
$0.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and additional MRA revenues
for fiscal 2007. The Company will record such and any other additional MRA
earnings only upon receipt of final notification thereof from TennCare.
Total expenses were $16.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006,
compared to $16.0 million for the prior fiscal year, an increase of $0.6 million
(4%). The increase is principally due to legal fees associated with ongoing
litigation, and an increase in claims processing costs.
Because of TennCare's ASO reimbursement system, there were no medical services
expenses in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, as compared with medical
services expenses of $0.02 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The
$0.02 million of medical services expenses represent fiscal 2002 claims
processed and reimbursed by TennCare in fiscal 2005 as explained in item 1 under
the heading "MANAGED PLAN - Managed Plan Owned by the Company."
General and administrative expenses were $16.5 million for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2006, as compared with general and administrative expenses of $15.7
million for the prior fiscal year, an increase of $0.8 million (5%). The
increase is principally due to legal fees associated with ongoing litigation,
and an increase in claims processing costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.05 million (28%), to $0.13
million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 from $0.18 million for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
28
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were $1.5 million and
$6.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Such decrease in earnings from continuing operations of $4.6 million, or $0.62
per basic share, is principally due to a decrease in administrative fee revenue,
coupled with an increase in general and administrative expenses as discussed
above.
Income tax expense decreased $0.5 million (78%), to $0.1 million for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2006 from $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2005. The Company's effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006
is 9% and differs from the statutory rate of 34%. This difference is the result
of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards for which a valuation
allowance had previously been applied.
There were no charges from discontinued operations for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2006. The Company recorded a liability in the first quarter of fiscal
2005 as it relates to an expired sublease obligation for its former office
premises in Detroit, Michigan.
Net earnings were $1.4 million, or $0.18 per basic share, for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2006, compared to net earnings of $5.3 million, or $0.72 per
basic share, for the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $3.9 million (74%). Such
decrease in net earnings is principally due to a decrease in administrative fee
revenue, coupled with an increase in general and administrative expenses as
discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2007, the Company had (i) cash and cash equivalents and short-term
marketable securities of $14.2 million, compared to $6.9 million at June 30,
2006; (ii) working capital of $13.1 million, compared to working capital of $7.8
million at June 30, 2006; and (iii) a current assets-to-current liabilities
ratio of 3.13 to 1, compared to 3.46 to 1 at June 30, 2006.
Net cash from operating activities was $1.5 million in fiscal 2007 compared to
net cash from operating activities of $1.2 million in fiscal 2006. Investing
activities in fiscal 2007 included the purchase of marketable securities of $4.8
million and sales of $2.1 million.
Cash flow was $4.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, compared to
$(5.5) million for the prior fiscal year. The increase was principally due to
the sale of 1,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock and accompanying
warrants for additional common shares in December 2006.
Cash and marketable securities increased by $7.3 million at June 30, 2007
compared to June 30, 2006 due primarily to the above-described sale of newly
issued common stock and warrants in December 2006 and the purchase of marketable
securities.
Accounts receivable increased by $0.6 million at June 30, 2007 compared to June
30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in interest receivable on new
investments.
29
Property, plant and equipment increased by $0.2 million at June 30, 2007
compared to June 30, 2006, due to equipment purchases of $0.3 million offset by
equipment sales.
Medical claims payable increased by $0.4 million at June 30, 2007 compared to
June 30, 2006, which is directly related to MA-SNP plan activity that began
January 1, 2007.
Accounts payable increased by $2.2 million at June 30, 2007 compared to June 30,
2006, principally due to a reserve against the restricted assets related to the
claims audit escrow account and the overpayment related to UAHC-TN's statutory
net worth requirement.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, UAHC-TN, had a required minimum net worth
requirement using statutory accounting practices of $7.2 million at June 30,
2007. UAHC-TN had excess statutory net worth of approximately $4.9 million at
June 30, 2007.
UAHC-TN's application for a commercial HMO license was approved on September 7,
2001. However, management is not yet actively pursuing that commercial business
due to UAHC-TN's substantially increased enrollment from members TennCare
assigned from defunct other plans, together with adapting to TennCare's
stabilization program. Beginning July 1, 2002, TennCare implemented an 18-month
stabilization program, which entailed changes to TennCare's contracts with MCOs,
including UAHC-TN. During that period, MCOs were generally compensated for
administrative services only (commonly called "ASO"), earned fixed
administrative fees, were not at risk for medical costs in excess of targets
established based on various factors, were subject to increased oversight, and
could incur financial penalties for not achieving certain performance
requirements. Through successive contractual amendments, TennCare extended the
ASO reimbursement system applicable to UAHC-TN, first through June 30, 2004,
then through December 31, 2004, and then through June 30, 2005. Through an
amendment with an effective date of July 1, 2005, TennCare implemented a
modified risk arrangement with all its contracted MCOs, including UAHC-TN, under
which they are at risk for losing up to 10% of administrative fee revenue and
may receive up to 15% incentive bonus revenue based on performance relative to
benchmarks. TennCare also disenrolled approximately 100,000 non-medically needy
adults who were not eligible for Medicaid from TennCare coverage statewide, and
imposed benefit limits on the 396,000 adults left in the program who were
eligible for Medicaid. As a result, UAHC-TN lost approximately 12,000 members
during fiscal 2006. UAHC-TN received notice from TennCare that it earned
additional MRA revenue of $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.5 million,
respectively, for its performance for the first, second and fourth quarters of
fiscal 2006. Such additional revenue has been recorded , and UAHC-TN received in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 such $0.5 million of additional MRA revenue
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. UAHC-TN expects to similarly earn
additional MRA revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and additional MRA
revenues for fiscal 2007. The Company will record such and any other additional
MRA earnings only upon receipt of final notification thereof from TennCare.
The Company and TennCare are parties to two escrow agreements under which the
Company funded, on August 5, 2005, two escrow accounts held by TennCare at the
State Treasury. One, in the original amount of $2,300,000, is security for
repayment to TennCare of any overpayments to UAHC-TN
30
that may be determined by a pending audit of all UAHC-TN process claims since
2002. The other escrow account, in the original amount of $420,500, is security
for any money damages that may be awarded to TennCare in the event of any future
litigation between the parties in connection with certain pending investigations
by state and federal authorities. TennCare and the Company reached agreement in
August 2007 to amend both escrow agreements, and the Company has signed
TennCare's written amendment documents and returned them to TennCare for its
signature. Under both amendments, when also signed by TennCare, both escrow
accounts will terminate 30 days after the conclusion of such investigations,
unless the parties earlier agree otherwise. In addition, under one of the
amendments, when signed by TennCare, the Company expects to be paid
$1,289,851.24 plus accumulated interest earnings from the larger escrow account,
leaving $1,010,148.76 in that account in recognition of the potential level of
claims' inaccuracy found on preliminary review by the Tennessee Department of
Commerce and Insurance. The escrow accounts bear interest at a rate no lower
than the prevailing commercial interest rates for savings accounts at financial
institutions in Nashville, Tennessee. All amounts (including interest earnings)
credited to the escrow accounts will belong to the Company, except to the
extent, if any, they are paid to TennCare to satisfy amounts determined to be
owed to TennCare as provided in the escrow agreements. Both escrow agreements
recite that TennCare does not at that time assert there has been any breach of
UAHC-TN's TennCare contract and that the Company has funded the escrow accounts
as a show of goodwill and good faith in working with TennCare.
As a result of a state regulatory audit of UAHC-TN's process claims since 2002,
UAHC-TN was notified in late fiscal 2007 by the third party auditor that UAHC-TN
may have incorrectly received an overpayment of $1.1 million for medical claims
as a result of a discrepancy in pricing methodology. As a result, UAHC-TN
recorded a reserve of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
In the first half of fiscal 2006, UAHC-TN was subject to a notice and order of
administrative supervision issued by the Commissioner of the State of
Tennessee's Department of Commerce and Insurance on April 20, 2005, which
expired in accordance with its terms on December 31, 2005. The State of
Tennessee in June 2006 extended UAHC-TN's TennCare contract through December 31,
2006, by an amendment to the contract effective as of July 1, 2006.
In a December 13, 2006 private placement transaction, the Company raised gross
proceeds of $6.50 million through the sale of 1,000,000 newly issued shares of
its common stock to certain institutional and other accredited investors at a
price of $6.50 per share. The investors also received warrants to purchase
99,999 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $8.50 per
share and expiring in December 2011. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the
co-placement agents a transaction fee of $325,000 and warrants to purchase
50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $9.01 per
share. The uses of the net proceeds from the private placement are principally
for start-up costs associated with the Company's Tennessee subsidiary's new
Medicare Advantage contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services,
which became effective January 1, 2007, and also for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
31
The Company's ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its future
cash needs depends on a number of factors, particularly including its ability to
control administrative costs related to the modified risk arrangement for the
TennCare program that began July 1, 2005, and controlling corporate overhead
costs. On the basis of the matters discussed above, management believes at this
time that the Company has the ability to generate sufficient cash to adequately
support its financial requirements through the next twelve months, and maintain
minimum statutory net worth requirements of UAHC-TN.
RECENTLY ENACTED PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following are new accounting standards and interpretations that may be
applicable in the future to the Company:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Final Interpretation No. 48,
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), was issued on July 13,
2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized
in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." This interpretation provides guidance on the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. Further, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and
transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be
recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period
of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the expected effect of
FIN 48 and is currently unable to determine the impact, if any, that FIN 48 may
have on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance
on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements
should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior
to SAB 108, companies might evaluate the materiality of financial statement
misstatements using either the income statement or balance sheet approach, with
the income statement approach focusing on new misstatements added in the current
year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative amount of
misstatement present in a company's balance sheet. Misstatements that would be
material under one approach could be viewed as immaterial under another
approach, and not be corrected. SAB 108 now requires that companies view
financial statement misstatements as material if they are material according to
either the income statement or balance sheet approach. The Company has adopted
SAB 108, with no impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
FASB's Statement No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets" ("FASB
156"), amends FASB Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," with respect to the
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
This standard requires all separately recognized
32
servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value and
either amortized over the period of estimated servicing income and assessed for
impairment each reporting period, or measured at fair value each reporting
period with changes in fair value reported in earnings the period in which
changes occur. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
September 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the expected
effect of this pronouncement and is currently unable to determine the impact, if
any, that it may have on its results of operations, financial position and cash
flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FASB 157"). FASB 157 enhances existing
guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. Prior to the
issuance of FASB 157, guidance for applying fair value was incorporated in
several accounting pronouncements. FASB 157 provides a single definition of fair
value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional
disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FASB
157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an
entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the
highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under FASB 157, fair
value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. While FASB 157
does not add any new fair value measurements, it does change current practice.
Changes to practice include: (1) a requirement for an entity to include its own
credit standing in the measurement of its liabilities; (2) a modification of the
transaction price presumption; (3) a prohibition on the use of block discounts
when valuing large blocks of securities for broker-dealers and investment
companies; and (4) a requirement to adjust the value of restricted stock for the
effect of the restriction even if the restriction lapses within one year. FASB
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company has not determined the impact of adopting FASB 157 on its financial
statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans," ("FASB 158"), which amends FASB 87 and FASB 106 to
require recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and other
postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Under FASB 158, gains and
losses, prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition amounts
under FASB 87 and FASB 106 that have not yet been recognized through net
periodic benefit cost will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive
income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net
periodic cost. The measurement date - the date at which the benefit obligation
and plan assets are measured - is required to be the company's fiscal year end.
FASB 158 is effective for publicly-held companies for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2006, except for the measurement date provisions, which are
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Adoption of this FASB
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,"
("FASB 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. An entity shall
report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option
33
has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement
is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins
after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a
fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also
elects to apply the provisions of FASB No. 157. The Company is continuing to
evaluate the impact of this statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
United American Healthcare Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United American
Healthcare Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and
comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended June 30, 2007. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of United American
Healthcare Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
