COMPANY BACKGROUND

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. is a Delaware corporation doing business as Pioneer Behavioral Health. Our predecessor, Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC, was organized in 2005 and converted to a corporation in May 2011.

At the beginning of 2011, we operated through six psychiatric and behavioral health facilities. In April 2011, we acquired Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. (“YFCS”). YFCS operates 13 inpatient and outpatient facilities, psychiatric and behavioral health facilities.

In November 2011, we completed the acquisition of PHC, Inc., which we refer to as “PHC.” PHC operates 15 substance abuse treatment centers and psychiatric facilities and provides related services. In July 2011, PHC had acquired all of the assets of HHC Delaware, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiary, “HHC”), consisting principally of the MeadowWood Behavioral Health System, an acute care psychiatric hospital (“MeadowWood”). We acquired MeadowWood when we acquired PHC. Upon completion of the acquisition of PHC, our common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “ACHC.”

In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Acadia,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. and its predecessor, Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC. Current references include the acquired operations mentioned above; historical references include those operations form and after their date of acquisition. When we refer to our operations or results “on a pro forma basis” or “on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Merger,” we mean the statement is made as if each of the acquisitions mentioned above had been completed as of the date stated or as of the beginning of the period referenced.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We have included certain financial measures in this prospectus, including Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, which are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. We define Pro Forma EBITDA as pro forma net income (loss) adjusted for (loss) income from discontinued operations, net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. We define Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as Pro Forma EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses, management fees, impairment charges, legal settlement, and integration and closing costs. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 and the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments relating to a rate increase on one of PHC’s contracts, anticipated future operating income at the Seven Hills Behavioral Center, the elimination of rent expense associated with PHC’s subsidiary, Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc., and cost savings/synergies in connection with the Merger (as defined herein). For a reconciliation of pro forma net income (loss) to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, see “Prospectus Summary—Summary Historical Condensed Consolidated Financial Data and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data.” We may not achieve all of the expected benefits from synergies, cost savings and recent improvements to our revenue base.

Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, as presented in this prospectus, are supplemental measures of our performance and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity. Our measurements of Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have included information concerning Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus because we believe that such information is used by certain investors as measures of a company’s historical performance. We

 

ii


believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers of equity securities, many of which present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Our presentation of Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

Market data and other statistical information used throughout this prospectus are based on independent industry publications, government publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources including, but not limited to, IBISWorld industry reports (“IBISWorld”) and reports prepared by the National Institute of Mental Health published in 2010, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published in 2008. Some data are also based on our good faith estimates, which are derived from management’s review of internal data and information, as well as the independent sources listed above. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information, and we have not ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein, and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. Statements as to our market position are based on market data currently available to us and, primarily, on management estimates as information regarding most of our major competitors is not publicly available. Our estimates involve risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus.

TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES

This prospectus includes our trademarks such as “Pioneer Behavioral Health,” which are protected under applicable intellectual property laws and are the property of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. or its subsidiaries. This prospectus also contains trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, trademarks and trade names referred to in this prospectus may appear without the ® or TM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these trademarks and trade names.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding whether to participate in the Exchange Offer. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 and the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

On November 1, 2011, PHC, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“PHC”), merged with and into Acadia Merger Sub, LLC (the “Merger”), a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company following the Merger (the “Merger”). In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Acadia,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries and including the assets and operations acquired in the Merger. We recently completed several significant acquisitions and greatly expanded our business. See “Company Background.”

Our Company

Overview. We are the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of inpatient behavioral health care services in the United States based upon number of licensed beds. As of November 1, 2011 we operated 34 behavioral healthcare inpatient and outpatient facilities with approximately 1,950 licensed beds in 18 states. We believe that our primary focus on the provision of behavioral health services allows us to operate more efficiently and provide higher quality care than our competitors. On a pro forma basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, giving effect to the Merger, we would have generated revenue of $252.2 million and $320.3 million, respectively.

Our inpatient facilities offer a wide range of inpatient behavioral health care services for children, adolescents and adults. We offer these services through a combination of acute inpatient behavioral facilities and residential treatment centers (“RTCs”). Our acute inpatient behavioral facilities provide the most intensive level of care, including 24-hour skilled nursing observation and care, daily interventions and oversight by a psychiatrist and intensive, highly coordinated treatment by a physician-led team of mental health professionals. Our RTCs offer longer-term treatment programs primarily for children and adolescents with long-standing chronic behavioral health problems. Our RTCs provide physician-led, multi-disciplinary treatments that address the overall medical, psychiatric, social and academic needs of the patient.

Our outpatient community-based services provide therapeutic treatment to children and adolescents who have a clinically defined emotional, psychiatric or chemical dependency disorder while enabling patients to remain at home and within their community. Many patients who participate in community-based programs have transitioned out of a residential facility or have a disorder that does not require placement in a facility that provides 24-hour care.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors:

Premier operational management team with track record of success. Our management team has approximately 145 combined years of experience in acquiring, integrating and operating a variety of behavioral health facilities. Following the sale of Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. (“PSI”) to Universal Health Services, Inc. in November 2010, certain of PSI’s key former executive officers joined Acadia in February 2011. The combination of the Acadia management team with the operational expertise of the former PSI management team gives us

 

 

1


what we believe to be the premier leadership team in the behavioral health care industry. The new management team intends to bring its years of experience operating behavioral health facilities to generate strong cash flow and grow a strong business.

Favorable industry and legislative trends. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 6% of people in the United States suffer from a seriously debilitating mental illness and over 20% of children, either currently or at some point during their life, have had a seriously debilitating mental disorder. We believe the market for behavioral services will continue to grow due to increased awareness of mental health and substance abuse conditions and treatment options. National expenditures on mental health and substance abuse treatment are expected to reach $239 billion in 2014, up from $121 billion in 2003, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.4%.

While the growing awareness of mental health and substance abuse conditions is expected to accelerate demand for services, recent healthcare reform is expected to increase access to industry services as more people obtain insurance coverage. A key aspect of reform legislation is the extension of mental health parity protections established into law by the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (the “MHPAEA”). The MHPAEA provides for equal coverage between psychiatric or mental health services and conventional medical health services and forbids employers and insurers from placing stricter limits on mental health care compared to other health conditions. According to IBISWorld, the MHPAEA is projected to affect more than 113 million individuals.

Leading platform in attractive healthcare niche. We are a leading behavioral healthcare platform in an industry that is undergoing consolidation in an effort to reduce costs and better negotiate with larger payor organizations. In addition, the behavioral health care industry has significant barriers to entry, including (i) significant initial capital outlays required to open new facilities (ii) expertise required to deliver highly specialized services safely and effectively and (iii) high regulatory hurdles that require market entrants to be knowledgeable of state and federal laws and be licensed with local agencies at the facility level.

Diversified revenue and payor bases. We currently operate 34 facilities in 18 states. The Merger increased our payor, patient/client and geographic diversity, which mitigates the potential risk associated with any single facility. On a pro forma basis for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, we received 66% of our revenue from Medicaid, 21% from commercial payors, 8% from Medicare, and 5% from other payors. As we receive Medicaid payments from 23 states, we do not believe that we are significantly affected by changes in reimbursement policies in any one state. Substantially all of our Medicaid payments relate to the care of children and adolescents. Management believes that children and adolescents are a patient class that is less susceptible to reductions in reimbursement rates. On a pro forma basis, our largest facility would have accounted for less than 12% of total revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, and no other facility would have accounted for more than 9% of total revenue for the same period. Additionally, on a pro forma basis, no state would have accounted for more than 15% of total revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011. We believe that our increased geographic diversity will mitigate the impact of any financial or budgetary pressure that may arise in a particular state where we operate.

Strong cash flow generation and low capital requirements. We generate strong free cash flow by profitably operating our business and by actively managing our working capital. Moreover, as the behavioral health care business does not typically require the procurement and replacement of expensive medical equipment, our maintenance capital expenditure requirements are generally less than that of other facility-based health care providers. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Acadia’s capital expenditures amounted to approximately 2.3% of our revenue. In addition, our accounts receivable management is less complex than medical/surgical hospital providers because there are fewer billing codes for inpatient behavioral health care facilities.

Business Strategy

We are committed to providing the communities we serve with high quality, cost-effective behavioral health services, while growing our business, increasing profitability and creating long-term value for our stockholders. To achieve these objectives, we have aligned our activities around the following growth strategies:

Increase margins by enhancing programs and improving performance at existing facilities. We believe we can improve efficiencies and increase operating margins by utilizing our management’s expertise and experience within existing programs and their expertise in improving performance at underperforming facilities. We believe the efficiencies can be realized by investing in growth in strong markets, addressing capital- constrained facilities that have underperformed and improving management systems. Furthermore, the combination of Acadia, YFCS and PHC provides the combined company an opportunity to develop a national marketing strategy in many markets which should help to increase the geographic footprint from which our existing facilities attract patients and referrals.

Opportunistically pursue acquisitions. We have established a national platform for becoming the leading, dedicated provider of high quality behavioral health care services in the U.S. Our industry is highly fragmented, and we selectively seek opportunities to expand and diversify our base of operations by acquiring additional facilities. We believe there are a number of acquisition candidates available at attractive valuations, and we have a number of potential acquisitions in various stages of development and consideration. We believe our focus on inpatient behavioral health care and history of completing acquisitions provides us with a strategic advantage in sourcing, evaluating and closing acquisitions. We intend to focus our efforts on acquiring additional acute psychiatric facilities, which should increase the percentage of such facilities in our portfolio. The combination of PHC and recently acquired MeadowWood added seven inpatient facilities (four for general psychiatric services and three for substance abuse services) and eight outpatient psychiatric facilities as well as two call centers. We leverage our management team’s expertise to identify and integrate acquisitions based on a disciplined acquisition strategy that focuses on quality of service, return on investment and strategic benefits. We also have a comprehensive post-acquisition strategic plan to facilitate the integration of acquired facilities that includes improving facility operations, retaining and recruiting psychiatrists and expanding the breadth of services offered by the facilities.

Drive organic growth of existing facilities. We seek to increase revenue at our facilities by providing a broader range of services to new and existing patients and clients. The YFCS acquisition presented us with an opportunity to provide a wider array of behavioral health services (including adult services and acute-care services) to patients and clients in the markets YFCS serviced, without increasing the number of our licensed beds. We believe there are similar opportunities to market a broader array of services to the markets served by PHC’s facilities. We also intend to increase licensed bed counts in our existing facilities, with a focus on increasing the number of acute psychiatric beds. For example, since September 1, 2011, we have added 76 beds and expect to add approximately 95 additional beds by March 31, 2012. Additionally, 42 beds have already been converted from residential treatment care beds to acute psychiatric care beds, which have higher reimbursement rates on average. Furthermore, we believe that opportunities exist to leverage out-of-state referrals to increase volume and minimize payor concentration, especially with respect to our youth and adolescent focused services and our substance abuse services.

Recent Developments

On November 1, 2011, PHC merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (the “Merger”).

Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the following events were effected, which together with the Merger, we collectively refer to as the “Transactions”:

 

   

our issuance of $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes;

 

 

3


   

the effectiveness of an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”);

   

the payment of a cash dividend to the holders of shares of Acadia’s common stock immediately prior to the Merger of approximately $74.4 million;

   

the permanent repayment of all outstanding indebtedness under PHC’s senior credit facility; and

   

the payment of approximately $40.9 million of fees and expenses related to the foregoing transactions, including approximately $20.6 million paid to Waud Capital Partners, L.L.C. (“Waud Capital Partners”) to terminate its professional services agreement and approximately $2.4 million of change in control payments paid to certain PHC executives, commitment, placement and other financing fees, financial advisory costs and other transaction costs and professional fees.

For a description of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Second Amendment, see “Acadia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Description of Other Indebtedness.

On December 15, 2011, we announced the pricing of a registered public offering of 8,333,333 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $7.50 per share. We also granted to the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,249,999 shares of our common stock to cover overallotments, if any.

Equity Sponsor

Founded in 1993, Waud Capital Partners is a leading middle-market private equity firm that partners with management teams to create, acquire and grow companies that address significant, inefficient, highly fragmented and underserved industry segments. Waud Capital Partners invests primarily through control-oriented growth equity investments, industry consolidations, buyouts or recapitalizations and seeks companies that generate strong cash flow and can be grown both organically and through add-on acquisitions. Waud Capital Partners’ current and exited portfolio is comprised of companies in the healthcare, business/consumer, logistics/specialty distribution and value-added industrial business segments.

Waud Capital Partners owns a substantial majority of our common stock, currently is entitled to designate a majority of our directors and, so long as it owns at least 17.5% of our outstanding common stock, has consent rights to many corporate actions, such as issuing equity or debt securities, paying dividends, acquiring any interest in another company and materially changing our business activities. This means that we cannot engage in any of those activities without the consent of Waud Capital Partners.

Summary of the Exchange Offer

The summary below describes the principal terms of the Exchange Offer. Certain of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. The “Exchange Offer” section of this prospectus contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer.

 

Initial Offering of Outstanding Notes

On November 1, 2011, we sold, through a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, $150,000,000 of our 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Outstanding Notes”), all of which are eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Notes.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

Simultaneously with the private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchaser of the Outstanding Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to file a registration statement for substantially identical debt securities (and related guarantees), which will be issued in exchange for the Outstanding Notes, with the SEC. You may exchange your Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes in this Exchange Offer. For further information regarding the Exchange Notes, see the sections entitled “Exchange Offer” and “Description of the Exchange Notes” in this prospectus.

 

Exchange Notes Offered

$150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018.

 

Exchange Offer

We are offering to exchange the Outstanding Notes for a like principal amount at maturity of the Exchange Notes. Outstanding Notes may be exchanged only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement which grants the initial purchaser and any subsequent holders of the Outstanding Notes certain exchange and registration rights. This Exchange Offer is intended to satisfy those exchange and registration rights with respect to the Outstanding Notes. After the Exchange Offer is complete, you will no longer be entitled to any exchange or registration rights with respect to your Outstanding Notes.

 

Expiration Date; Withdrawal of Tender

The Exchange Offer will expire 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012, or a later time if we choose to extend the Exchange Offer in our sole and absolute discretion. You may withdraw your tender of Outstanding Notes at any time prior to the expiration date. All Outstanding Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be exchanged. Any Outstanding Notes not accepted by us for exchange for any reason will be returned to you at our expense as promptly as possible after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

 

Broker-Dealer

Each broker-dealer acquiring Exchange Notes issued for its own account in exchange for Outstanding Notes, which it acquired through market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a proper prospectus when any

 

 

5


 

Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offer are transferred. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus for an offer to resell, a resale or other retransfer of the Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offer.

 

Prospectus Recipients

We mailed this prospectus and the related Exchange Offer documents to registered holders of the Outstanding Notes as of                     , 2011.

 

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Our obligation to accept for exchange, or to issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for, any Outstanding Notes is subject to certain customary conditions, including our determination that the Exchange Offer does not violate any law, statute, rule, regulation or interpretation by the staff of the SEC or any regulatory authority or other foreign, federal, state or local government agency or court of competent jurisdiction, some of which may be waived by us. We currently expect that each of the conditions will be satisfied and that no waivers will be necessary. See “Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

 

Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes Held in the Form of Book-Entry Interests

The Outstanding Notes were issued as global securities and were deposited upon issuance with U.S. Bank National Association, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

 

  Beneficial interests in the Outstanding Notes, which are held by direct or indirect participants in DTC, are shown on, and transfers of the Outstanding Notes can only be made through, records maintained in book-entry form by DTC.

 

  You may tender your Outstanding Notes by instructing your broker or bank where you keep the Outstanding Notes to tender them for you. By tendering your Outstanding Notes you will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to be bound by the terms set forth under “Exchange Offer” and in the letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus. Your Outstanding Notes must be tendered in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

  In order for your tender of Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer to be considered valid, you must transmit to the exchange agent on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the expiration date either:

 

   

an original or facsimile of a properly completed and duly executed copy of the letter of transmittal, which accompanies this prospectus, together with your Outstanding Notes and any other documentation required by the letter of transmittal, at the address provided on the cover page of the letter of transmittal; or

 

   

if the Outstanding Notes you own are held of record by DTC, in book-entry form and you are making delivery by book-entry transfer, a computer-generated message transmitted by means of the Automated Tender Offer Program System of DTC (“ATOP”),

 

 

6


 

in which you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal and which, when received by the exchange agent, forms a part of a confirmation of book-entry transfer. As part of the book-entry transfer, DTC will facilitate the exchange of your Outstanding Notes and update your account to reflect the issuance of the Exchange Notes to you. ATOP allows you to electronically transmit your acceptance of the Exchange Offer to DTC instead of physically completing and delivering a letter of transmittal to the exchange agent.

 

  In addition, if you are making delivery via book-entry transfer, you must deliver, to the exchange agent on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the expiration date, a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of your Outstanding Notes into the account of the exchange agent at DTC.

 

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners

If you are the beneficial owner of book-entry interests and your name does not appear on a security position listing of DTC as the holder of the book-entry interests or if you are a beneficial owner of Outstanding Notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender the book-entry interest or Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer, you should contact the person in whose name your book-entry interests or Outstanding Notes are registered promptly and instruct that person to tender on your behalf.

 

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The Exchange Offer should not result in any income, gain or loss to the holders of Outstanding Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. See “Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

 

Use of Proceeds

We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer.

 

Exchange Agent

U.S. Bank National Association is serving as the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer.

 

Shelf Registration Statement

In limited circumstances, holders of Outstanding Notes may require us to register their Outstanding Notes under a shelf registration statement. See “Exchange Offer—Purpose of Exchange Offer.”

 

 

7


Consequences of Not Exchanging Outstanding Notes

If you do not exchange your Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer, your Outstanding Notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer currently applicable to the Outstanding Notes. In general, you may offer or sell your Outstanding Notes only:

 

   

if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws;

 

   

if they are offered or sold under an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; or

 

   

if they are offered or sold in a transaction not subject to the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

We do not currently intend to register the Outstanding Notes under the Securities Act. Under some circumstances, however, holders of the Outstanding Notes, including holders who are not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, may require us to file, and to cause to become effective, a shelf registration statement covering resales of Outstanding Notes by these holders. For more information regarding the consequences of not tendering your Outstanding Notes and our obligation to file a shelf registration statement, see “Exchange Offer—Purpose of the Exchange Offer”.

Summary of Terms of the Exchange Notes

The summary below describes the principal terms of the Exchange Notes. Certain of the terms described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. See the section entitled “Description of the Exchange Notes” of this prospectus for a more detailed description of the terms of the Exchange Notes.

 

Issuer

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.

 

Securities

$150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018, which will be registered under the Securities Act. The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Outstanding Notes.

 

Maturity Date

November 1, 2018.

 

Interest Rate

We will pay interest on the Exchange Notes at an annual interest rate of 12.875%.

 

Interest Payment Dates

Interest payments on the Exchange Notes are payable semi-annually in arrears on each November 1 and May 1. No interest will be paid on either the Exchange Notes or the Outstanding Notes at the time of exchange. The Exchange Notes will accrue interest from and including the last interest payment date on which interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes and, if no interest has been paid, the Exchange Notes will accrue interest since the issue date of the Outstanding Notes.

 

  Accordingly, the holders of Outstanding Notes that are accepted for exchange will not receive accrued but unpaid interest on such Outstanding Notes at the time of tender. Rather, that interest will be payable on the Exchange Notes delivered in exchange for the Outstanding Notes on the first interest payment date following the expiration date of the Exchange Notes.

 

Guarantees

The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our future domestic subsidiaries that guarantees indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. See “Description of the Exchange Notes—Additional Note Guarantees.”

 

Ranking

The Exchange Notes and the guarantees will be our and the guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations and will be:

 

   

senior in right of payment to any of our and the guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness;

 

   

equal in right of payment with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facility;

 

 

9


   

effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and

 

   

structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Exchange Notes.

 

  As of the date of this prospectus, all of our existing subsidiaries guarantee the Outstanding Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

 

Optional Redemption

On or after November 1, 2015, we may redeem some or all of the Exchange Notes at the redemption prices set forth under “Description of the Exchange Notes—Optional Redemption.”

 

  Prior to November 1, 2014, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes at the premium set forth under “Description of the Exchange Notes—Optional Redemption,” with certain of the proceeds realized by us from the sale of a qualified equity issuance; provided however, that at least 65% of the original principal amount of the notes are outstanding immediately following the redemption.

 

  We may redeem some or all of the Exchange Notes at any time prior to November 1, 2015 by paying a “make whole” premium as described in this prospectus.

 

Change of Control Offer

If we experience a change of control, the holders of the Exchange Notes will have the right to require us to purchase their Exchange Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

 

Asset Sales

Upon certain asset sales, we may be required to offer to use the net proceeds of the asset sale to purchase some or all of the Exchange Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

 

Certain Covenants

The indenture under which the Outstanding Notes were issued will govern the Exchange Notes. The indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of the restricted subsidiaries to:

10


   

pay dividends on our equity interests or redeem, repurchase or retire our equity interests or subordinated indebtedness;

 

   

transfer or sell assets;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

incur certain liens;

 

   

create restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us;

 

   

engage in certain transactions with our affiliates; and

 

   

merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

 

  These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions as described under “Description of the Exchange Notes—Certain Covenants.”

 

Use of Proceeds

We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer.

 

No Public Market

The Exchange Notes will be a new issue of securities and will not be listed on any securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a liquid market for the Exchange Notes will develop or be maintained.

 

Risk Factors

You should consider carefully all of the information included in this prospectus and, in particular, the information under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 prior to deciding to tender your Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer.

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data gives effect to (1) Acadia’s acquisition of YFCS and the related debt and equity financing transactions on April 1, 2011, (2) PHC’s acquisition of MeadowWood and related debt financing transaction on July 1, 2011 and (3) the Merger and the related issuance of Outstanding Notes on November 1, 2011, as if each had occurred on September 30, 2011 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and January 1, 2010 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. Acadia’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 reflects the acquisition of YFCS and related debt and equity transactions and Acadia’s condensed consolidated statement of operations reflects the results of YFCS operations for the period from April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011. PHC’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 reflects the acquisition of MeadowWood and related debt financing transaction on July 1, 2011.

The fiscal years of Acadia, YFCS and HHC Delaware end December 31 while the fiscal year of PHC ended on June 30. The combined company’s fiscal year ends December 31.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of each of Acadia and PHC as of September 30, 2011.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations of Acadia, YFCS, HHC Delaware and PHC (which was derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 less the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2009 plus the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the three months ended September 30, 2010). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 combines Acadia’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for that period with the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of YFCS for the three months ended March 31, 2011, the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of HHC Delaware for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (which was derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 less the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2010 plus the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the three months ended September 30, 2011). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 combines the audited consolidated statement of operations of Acadia, YFCS and HHC Delaware for that period with the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for that period (which was derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 less the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2009 plus the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2010).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under GAAP. The adjustments necessary to fairly present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data have been made based on available information and in the opinion of management are reasonable. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and revisions to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the financing of the Transactions may have a significant impact on the pro forma adjustments. A final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the YFCS, MeadowWood and PHC acquisitions has not been completed and the completion of fair value determinations will most likely result in

 

 

15


changes in the values assigned to property and equipment and other assets (including intangibles) acquired and liabilities assumed.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what our financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the events noted above in fact occurred on the assumed dates or to project our financial position or results of operations for any future date or future period.

(1) 

Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to pro forma net income (loss) in the table below. Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not recognized under GAAP. When presenting non-GAAP financial measures, we are required to reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures. We define Pro Forma EBITDA as pro forma net income (loss) adjusted for (loss) income from discontinued operations, net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. Pro Forma

Adjusted EBITDA differs from “EBITDA” as that term may be commonly used. We define Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, as Pro Forma EBITDA adjusted for equity-based compensation expense, transaction-related expenses, management fees, impairment charges, legal settlement, and integration and closing costs. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments relating to a rate increase on one of PHC’s contracts, anticipated future operating income at the Seven Hills Behavioral Center, the elimination of rent expense associated with PHC’s subsidiary, Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc., and cost savings/synergies in connection with the Merger. See the table and related footnotes below for additional information.

We present Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA because it is a measure management uses to assess financial performance. We believe that companies in our industry use measures of Pro Forma EBITDA as common performance measurements. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use measures of Pro Forma EBITDA as financial performance measures and as indicators of ability to service debt obligations. While providing useful information, measures of Pro Forma EBITDA, including Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated statement of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an indication of a company’s operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA may have material limitations as a performance measure because it excludes items that are necessary elements of our costs and operations. In addition, “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA” or similar measures presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

(a) Transaction-related expenses related to the acquisition of YFCS and the Merger of approximately $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been excluded from the computation of pro forma net income. In addition, advisory fees paid to Waud Capital Partners of approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been excluded from the computation of pro forma net income due to the termination of the professional services agreement between Acadia and Waud Capital Partners on November 1, 2011.
(b) Represents the equity-based compensation expense of Acadia, YFCS and PHC for the respective periods. Acadia recognized $19.8 million of equity-based compensation expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to equity units issued in conjunction with the YFCS acquisition.
(c) Represents a portion of the acquisition-related fees and expenses incurred by Acadia in the respective periods, but excludes certain one-time transaction related expenses associated with the acquisition of YFCS and the Merger that were excluded from the computation of pro forma net income. See note (a).
(d) Represents the management fees paid by MeadowWood to its former parent companies and a portion of the management fees paid by Acadia to its equity sponsor, Waud Capital Partners, that was not excluded in the computation of pro forma net income.
(e) In connection with the execution of the sale agreement and plan of merger for the purchase of YFCS, YFCS recorded an impairment charge of approximately $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of management’s conclusion that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the fair value implied by the sale of the company.
(f) Represents legal settlement expenses recognized by PHC resulting from an employee wrongful termination suit against PHC that was settled in April 2011.
(g) Represents costs incurred by Acadia related to the closing of the YFCS corporate office, including the costs of temporarily retaining certain employees for a transitional period following the acquisition date.
(h) Represents the increased revenue that would have resulted from an increased rate on one of PHC’s contracts that became effective in March 2011, assuming such increased rate had been effective throughout all periods presented. The increased rate was estimated by multiplying the historical plan enrollment by the newly-contracted rate, which resulted in an approximate $0.17 million increase in revenue and EBITDA for each month prior to March 2011 in which the rate was not effective.
(i) The Seven Hills Behavioral Center was opened in the fourth quarter of 2008 and became certified by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services in July 2010. The adjustment represents the estimated additional operating income that would have been generated by this facility if it had operated at expected levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. This adjustment is based upon the difference between the actual operating income for the Seven Hills Behavioral Center in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, and the operating income that we anticipate the facility will achieve when it operates at expected levels.
(j) Represents rent payments relating to PHC’s subsidiary, Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc. (d/b/a Capstone Academy), as if the leased property had been owned by PHC throughout the periods presented. PHC currently leases the Capstone Academy property. The lessor financed the acquisition of the property through the issuance of notes to certain lenders. On November 13, 2010, PHC, through its subsidiary Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc. (d/b/a Capstone Academy), purchased the notes from the lenders. The lessor was in default at the time PHC purchased the notes, and PHC initiated foreclosure proceedings in court. Upon completion of the foreclosure proceedings, the property will be owned by Acadia and rent expense will no longer be incurred.
(k) Acadia expects to realize annual cost savings of approximately $3.4 million beginning in fiscal 2012 as a result of the Merger and the elimination of certain redundant positions, professional services and other expenses, as well as the efficiencies of integrating corporate functions within a larger company framework.

We may not be able to achieve all of the expected benefits from the synergies and cost savings described in the table. This information is inherently uncertain and is not intended to represent what our financial position or results of operations might be for any future period. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Business—Our acquisition strategy exposes us to a variety of operational and financial risks—Benefits may not materialize.”

RISK FACTORS

Participating in the Exchange Offer is subject to a number of important risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In such cases, you may lose all or part of your investment in the notes. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer

Because there is no public market for the Exchange Notes, you may not be able to resell your notes.

The Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act, but will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market, and there can be no assurance as to:

 

   

the liquidity of any trading market that may develop;

   

the ability of holders to sell their Exchange Notes; or

   

the price at which holders would be able to sell their Exchange Notes.

If a trading market were to develop, the Exchange Notes may trade at higher or lower prices than their principal amount or purchase price, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and our financial performance.

We understand that the initial purchaser presently intends to make a market in the Exchange Notes. However, it is not obligated to do so and any market marking with respect to the Exchange Notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, market-making will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and may be limited during the pendency of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the registration statement.

We offered the Outstanding Notes in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Therefore, the Outstanding Notes may be transferred or resold only in a transaction registered under or exempt from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We are conducting the Exchange Offer pursuant to an effective registration statement, whereby we are offering to exchange the Outstanding Notes for nearly identical notes that you will be able to trade without registration under the Securities Act provided you are not one of our affiliates. We cannot assure you that the Exchange Offer will be conducted in a timely fashion. Moreover, we cannot assure you that an active or liquid trading market for the Exchange Notes will develop. See “Exchange Offer.”

You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new, freely tradable Exchange Notes.

Delivery of Exchange Notes in exchange for Outstanding Notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of book-entry transfer of Outstanding Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, as depositary, including an agent’s message (as defined herein). We are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders of Outstanding Notes for exchange. Exchange Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but we do not accept for exchange will, following consummation of the Exchange Offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, certain registration and other rights under the Registration Rights Agreements will terminate. See “Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes” and “Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange.”

 

19


Holders of Outstanding Notes who fail to exchange their Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer.

If you do not exchange your Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Outstanding Notes. The restrictions on transfer of your Outstanding Notes arise because we issued the Outstanding Notes under exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may only offer or sell the Outstanding Notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. We do not plan to register the Outstanding Notes under the Securities Act. For further information regarding the consequences of not tendering your Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer, see the section entitled “Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange.”

Some holders who exchange their Outstanding Notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and these holders will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements in connection with any resale transaction.

If you exchange your Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

Risks Relating to the Exchange Notes

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes and our other debt.

As of September 30, 2011, on an a pro forma basis to give effect to the Merger, as if it had occurred on September 30, 2011, we would have had approximately $285.6 million of total indebtedness, which includes $138.1 million of indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and $147.5 million (net of a discount of $2.5 million) of indebtedness under the Outstanding Notes. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

 

   

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our other financial obligations, including our obligations relating to the notes;

 

   

restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or cause us to make non-strategic divestitures;

 

   

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness (including scheduled repayments on our outstanding term loan borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility), thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

 

   

expose us to interest rate fluctuations because the interest on the debt relating to revolving borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is imposed at variable rates;

 

   

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to our lenders, resulting in possible defaults on and acceleration of such indebtedness;

 

   

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;

 

   

limit our ability to borrow additional funds; and

 

   

limit our ability to pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions.

In addition, the terms of the indenture governing the notes and the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debts, including the notes.

Despite our current indebtedness level, we may still be able to incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness, including additional notes and other secured indebtedness, in the future. Although the indenture governing the notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If new debt is added to our existing debt levels, the related risks that we now face would intensify and we may not be able to meet all our debt obligations, including the repayment of the notes. In addition, the indenture governing the notes and the agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facility do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness under the agreements governing such debt.

To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, to fund planned capital expenditures and to maintain sufficient working capital will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under the Senior Secured Credit Facility or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to allow us to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, we may need to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the notes, on or before the maturity thereof, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments or seek to raise additional capital, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that the terms of that indebtedness will allow any of the above alternative measures or that these measures would satisfy our scheduled debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to repay or refinance our debt on favorable terms, it could significantly adversely affect our financial condition, the value of our outstanding debt, including the notes, and our ability to make any required cash payments under our indebtedness, including the notes. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at that time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by a lien on all of our assets, and any successor credit facility is likely to be secured on a similar basis. As such, our ability to refinance the notes or seek additional financing could be impaired as a result of such security interest.

 

21


We are subject to a number of restrictive covenants, which may restrict our business and financing activities.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the notes impose, and the terms of any future indebtedness may impose, operating and other restrictions on us. Such restrictions affect, and in many respects limit or prohibit, among other things, our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

 

   

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock;

 

   

pay dividends on our equity interests or redeem, repurchase or retire our equity interests or subordinated indebtedness;

 

   

transfer or sell our assets:

 

   

make certain payments or investments;

 

   

make capital expenditures;

 

   

create certain liens on assets;

 

   

create restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us;

 

   

engage in certain transactions with our affiliates; and

 

   

merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also requires us to meet certain financial ratios, including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio. See “Description of Other Indebtedness.”

The restrictions in the indenture governing the notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interests of our business, and may make it difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. We also may incur future debt obligations that might subject us to additional restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility. Our ability to comply with these covenants in future periods will largely depend on the pricing of our products and services, our success at implementing cost reduction initiatives and our ability to successfully implement our overall business strategy. We cannot assure you that we will be granted waivers or amendments to these agreements if for any reason we are unable to comply with these agreements. The breach of any of these covenants and restrictions could result in a default under the indenture governing the notes or under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which could result in an acceleration of our indebtedness.

Under certain circumstances a court could cancel the notes or the related guarantees under fraudulent conveyance laws.

Our issuance of the notes and the related guarantees may be subject to review under federal or state fraudulent transfer law. If we become a debtor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or encounter other financial difficulty, a court might avoid (that is, cancel) our obligations under the notes. Although laws differ among various jurisdictions, in general, under fraudulent conveyance statutes, a court could invalidate the notes as a fraudulent conveyance, or could subordinate the notes to the debt owed to our existing or future creditors if it found that when we issued the notes or the debt being refinanced with the proceeds of the notes, (i) we received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and (ii) we either (1) were insolvent or were rendered insolvent, (2) were left with inadequate capital to conduct our business or (3) believed or reasonably should have believed that we would incur debts beyond our ability to pay as such debts matured. The court could also avoid the notes, without regard to factors (i) and (ii), if it found that we issued the notes with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud our current or future creditors.

 

22


Similarly, if one of our guarantors becomes a debtor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or encounters other financial difficulty, a court might cancel its guarantee if it finds that when such guarantor issued its guarantee (or in some jurisdictions, when payments became due under the guarantee) or when we issued the guarantee being refinanced with the proceeds of the notes, factors (i) and (ii) above applied to such guarantor, such guarantor was a defendant in an action for money damages or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it (if, in either case, after final judgment the judgment is unsatisfied), or if it found that such guarantor issued its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.

In addition, a court could avoid any payment by us or any guarantor pursuant to the notes or a guarantee, and require the return of any payment or the return of any realized value to us or the guarantor, as the case may be, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of us or the guarantor. In addition, under the circumstances described above, a court could subordinate rather than avoid obligations under the notes or the guarantees. If the court were to avoid any guarantee, we cannot assure you that funds would be available to pay the notes from another guarantor or from any other source.

The test for determining solvency for purposes of the foregoing will vary depending on the law of the jurisdiction being applied. In general, a court would consider an entity insolvent if, at the time it incurs the indebtedness, either the sum of its existing debts exceeds the fair value of all of its property, its assets’ present fair saleable value is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its existing debts as they become due, or it could not pay its debts as they become due. For this analysis, “debts” includes contingent and unliquidated debts.

The indenture governing the notes limits the liability of each guarantor on its guarantee to the maximum amount that such guarantor can incur without risk that its guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. We cannot assure you that this limitation will protect such guarantees from fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, that the remaining amount due and collectible under the guarantees would suffice, if necessary, to pay the notes in full when due.

If a court avoided our obligations under the notes and the obligations of all of the guarantors under their guarantees, you would cease to be our creditor or creditor of the guarantors and likely have no source from which to recover amounts due under the notes. Even if the guarantee of a guarantor is not avoided as a fraudulent transfer, a court may subordinate the guarantee to that guarantor’s other debt. In that event, the guarantees would be structurally subordinated to all of that guarantor’s other debt.

If we default on our obligations to pay our indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.

Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness, could adversely affect our ability to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and substantially decrease the market value of the notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness (including the Senior Secured Credit Facility), we would be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility could elect to terminate their commitments or cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, or we could be forced to apply all available cash flows to repay such indebtedness, and, in any such case, we could ultimately be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. Because the indenture governing the notes and the agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facility have customary cross-default provisions, if the indebtedness under the notes or under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is accelerated, we may be unable to repay or refinance the amounts due.

 

23


The notes and the guarantees are not secured by any of our assets and are effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness.

The notes and the guarantees are general unsecured obligations ranking effectively junior in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness and that of each guarantor, including indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Additionally, the indenture governing the notes permits us to incur additional secured indebtedness in the future. In the event that we or a guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any indebtedness that is effectively senior to the notes and the guarantees will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets or the assets of the guarantor, as applicable, securing such indebtedness before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the affected guarantees. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. You may therefore not be fully repaid in the event we become insolvent or otherwise fail to make payments on the notes.

As of September 30, 2011, after giving effect to the Transactions, the notes and the guarantees would have been effectively subordinated to approximately $140.0 million of senior secured indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our future subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the notes.

The notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our future domestic subsidiaries that incurs indebtedness. As of November 1, 2011, all of our existing subsidiaries were guarantors of the notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The notes, however, will be structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any of our future subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the notes.

The indenture governing the notes allows future non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness in the future. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our future non-guarantor subsidiaries, these non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debts, holders of their preferred equity interests and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us.

We may not be able to satisfy our obligations to holders of the notes upon a change of control or sale of assets.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the notes, we will be required to offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of purchase. See “Description of the Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control.”

In addition, upon the occurrence of an asset sale, as defined in the indenture, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of purchase. See “Description of the Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales.”

We cannot assure you that, if a change of control or asset sale occurs, we will have available funds sufficient to make an offer to purchase, and pay the change of control purchase price or asset sale purchase price to any or all of the holders of the notes seeking to receive and accept the change of control offer or asset sale offer. If we are required to purchase notes pursuant to a change of control offer or asset sale offer, we would be required to seek third-party financing to the extent we do not have available funds to meet our purchase obligations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms to us or

 

24


at all. Accordingly, none of the holders of the notes may receive the change of control purchase price or asset sale purchase price for their notes. Our failure to make or consummate the change of control offer or asset sale offer, or to pay the change of control purchase price or asset sale purchase price when due would be a default under the indenture governing the notes, which would also be a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

In addition, the events that constitute a change of control or asset sale under the indenture may also be events of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. These events may permit the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to accelerate the debt outstanding thereunder and, if such debt is not paid, to enforce security interests in our specified assets, thereby limiting our ability to raise cash to purchase the notes and reducing the practical benefit of the offer-to-purchase provisions to the holders of the notes.

One of the circumstances under which a change of control may occur is upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. However, the phrase “all or substantially all” will likely be interpreted under applicable state law and will be dependent upon particular facts and circumstances. As a result, there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a sale or disposition of “all or substantially all” of our capital stock or assets has occurred, in which case, the ability of a holder of the notes to obtain the benefit of an offer to repurchase all or a portion of the notes held by such holder may be impaired. See “Description of the Exchange Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control.”

The trading prices of the notes will be directly affected by our ratings with major credit rating agencies, the prevailing interest rates being paid by companies similar to us, and the overall condition of the financial and credit markets.

The trading prices of the notes in the secondary market will be directly affected by our ratings with major credit rating agencies, the prevailing interest rates being paid by companies similar to us, and the overall condition of the financial and credit markets. It is impossible to predict the prevailing interest rates or the condition of the financial and credit markets. Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for companies that they follow, including us. Any ratings downgrade could adversely affect the trading price of the notes or the trading market for the notes, to the extent a trading market for the notes develops. The condition of the financial and credit markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Our revenues and results of operations are significantly affected by payments received from the government and third-party payors.

A significant portion of our revenues is from the government, principally Medicare and Medicaid. significant portion of our revenues is from the government, principally Medicare and Medicaid. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Acadia derived approximately 68% of its revenues (on a pro forma basis giving effect to the YFCS acquisition) from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. PHC derived approximately 27% of its revenues from such programs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (on a pro forma basis giving effect to the MeadowWood acquisition). Changes in government health care programs may reduce the reimbursement we receive and could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Changes in these government programs in recent years have resulted in limitations on reimbursement and, in some cases, reduced levels of reimbursement for healthcare services. Payments from federal and state government programs are subject to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations and determinations, requirements for utilization review, and federal and state funding restrictions, all of which could materially increase or decrease program payments, as well as affect the cost of providing service to patients and the timing of payments to facilities. We are unable to predict the effect of recent and future policy changes on our operations. In addition, since most states operate with balanced budgets and since the Medicaid program is often a state’s largest program, some states can be expected to enact or consider enacting legislation formulated to

 

25


reduce their Medicaid expenditures. Furthermore, the current economic downturn has increased the budgetary pressures on the federal government and many states, which may negatively affect the availability of taxpayer funds for Medicare and Medicaid programs. If the rates paid or the scope of services covered by government payors are reduced, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “Budget Control Act”) was enacted into law. The Budget Control Act imposes annual spending limits on many federal agencies and programs aimed at reducing budget deficits by $917 billion between 2012 and 2021, according to a report released by the Congressional Budget Office. The Budget Control Act also establishes a bipartisan joint select committee of Congress that is responsible for developing recommendations to reduce future federal budget deficits by an additional $1.2 trillion over 10 years. On November 21, 2011, the co-chairs of the joint select committee announced that they would be unable to reach bipartisan agreement before the committee’s deadline of November 23, 2011. As a result of the committee’s failure to reach agreement, across-the-board cuts to mandatory and discretionary federal spending will be automatically implemented as of January 2013 unless Congress acts to amend, delay or otherwise terminate the automatic reductions set forth in the Budget Control Act, which could result in reductions of payments to Medicare providers of up to 2%. We cannot predict if reductions to future Medicare or other government payments to providers will be implemented as a result of the Budget Control Act or what impact, if any, the Budget Control Act will have on our business or results of operations.

In addition to changes in government reimbursement programs, our ability to negotiate favorable contracts with private payors, including managed care providers, significantly affects the revenues and operating results of our facilities.

We expect continued third-party efforts to aggressively manage reimbursement levels and cost controls. Reductions in reimbursement amounts received from third-party payors could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and our results of operations.

A worsening of the economic and employment conditions in the United States could materially affect our business and future results of operations.

During periods of high unemployment, governmental entities often experience budget deficits as a result of increased costs and lower than expected tax collections. These budget deficits at the federal, state and local levels have decreased, and may continue to decrease, spending for health and human service programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, which are significant payor sources for our facilities. In periods of high unemployment, we also face the risk of potential declines in the population covered under managed care agreements, patient decisions to postpone or decide against receiving behavioral health services, potential increases in the uninsured and underinsured populations we serve and further difficulties in collecting patient co-payment and deductible receivables.

Furthermore, the availability of liquidity and credit to fund the continuation and expansion of many business operations worldwide has been limited in recent years. Our ability to access the capital markets on acceptable terms may be severely restricted at a time when we would like, or need, access to those markets, which could have a negative impact on our growth plans, our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions and our ability to refinance existing debt (including indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility). The current economic downturn or other economic conditions could also adversely affect the counterparties to our agreements, including the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us.

 

26


If we fail to comply with extensive laws and government regulations, we could suffer penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations.

Our industry is required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations at the federal, state and local government levels relating to, among other things: billing practices and prices for services; relationships with psychiatrists, physicians and other referral sources; necessity and quality of medical care; condition and adequacy of facilities; qualifications of medical and support personnel; confidentiality, maintenance and security issues associated with health-related information and patient personal information and medical records; the screening, stabilization and/or transfer of patients who have emergency medical conditions; certification, licensure and accreditation of our facilities; operating policies and procedures, activities regarding competitors; and addition or expansion of facilities and services.

Among these laws are the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the federal False Claims Act and similar state laws. These laws, and particularly the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law, impact the relationships that we may have with psychiatrists and other referral sources. We have a variety of financial relationships with physicians who refer patients to our facilities, including employment contracts, leases and professional service agreements. These laws govern those relationships. The Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services has enacted safe harbor regulations that outline practices that are deemed protected from prosecution under the Anti-Kickback Statute. While we endeavor to comply with applicable safe harbors, certain of our current arrangements with physicians and other referral sources may not qualify for safe harbor protection. Failure to meet a safe harbor does not mean that the arrangement necessarily violates the Anti-Kickback Statute, but may subject it to greater scrutiny. We cannot offer assurances that practices that are outside of a safe harbor will not be found to violate the Anti-Kickback Statute. Allegations of violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute may be brought under the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law, which requires a lower burden of proof than other fraud and abuse laws, including the Anti-Kickback Statute.

These laws and regulations are extremely complex, and, in many cases, we do not have the benefit of regulatory or judicial interpretation. In the future, it is possible that different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject our current or past practices to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel, services, capital expenditure programs and operating expenses. A determination that we have violated one or more of these laws could subject us to liabilities, including civil penalties (including the loss of our licenses to operate one or more facilities), exclusion of one or more facilities from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state health care programs and, for violations of certain laws and regulations, criminal penalties. Even the public announcement that we are being investigated for possible violations of these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and our business reputation could suffer. In addition, we cannot predict whether other legislation or regulations at the federal or state level will be adopted, what form such legislation or regulations may take or what their impact on us may be.

We may be required to spend substantial amounts to comply with legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to privacy and security of patient health information and standards for electronic transactions.

There are currently numerous legislative and regulatory initiatives at the federal and state levels addressing patient privacy and security concerns. In particular, federal regulations issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, require our facilities to comply with standards to protect the privacy, security and integrity of health care information. These regulations have imposed extensive administrative requirements, technical and physical information security requirements, restrictions on the use and disclosure of individually identifiable patient health and related financial information and have provided patients with additional rights with respect to their health information. Compliance with these regulations requires substantial expenditures, which could negatively impact our financial results. In addition, our management has spent, and may spend in the future, substantial time and effort on compliance measures.

 

27


Violations of the privacy and security regulations could subject our inpatient facilities to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per calendar year for each provision contained in the privacy and security regulations that are violated and criminal penalties of up to $250,000 per violation for certain other violations, in each case with the size of such penalty based on certain factors. Because there is no significant history of enforcement efforts by the federal government at this time, it is not possible to ascertain the likelihood of enforcement efforts in connection with these regulations or the potential for fines and penalties that may result from the violation of the regulations.

We may be subject to liabilities from claims brought against our facilities.

We are subject to medical malpractice lawsuits and other legal actions in the ordinary course of business. Some of these actions may involve large claims, as well as significant defense costs. We cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or the effect that findings in such lawsuits may have on us. All professional and general liability insurance we purchase is subject to policy limitations. We believe that, based on our past experience and actuarial estimates, our insurance coverage is adequate considering the claims arising from the operations of our facilities. While we continuously monitor our coverage, our ultimate liability for professional and general liability claims could change materially from our current estimates. If such policy limitations should be partially or fully exhausted in the future, or payments of claims exceed our estimates or are not covered by our insurance, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

We have been and could become the subject of governmental investigations, regulatory actions and whistleblower lawsuits.

Healthcare companies are subject to numerous investigations by various governmental agencies. Further, under the federal False Claims Act, private parties are permitted to bring qui tam or “whistleblower” lawsuits against companies that submit false claims for payments to, or improperly retain overpayments from, the government. Because qui tam lawsuits are filed under seal, we could be named in one or more such lawsuits of which we are not aware.

Certain of our facilities have received, and other facilities may receive, government inquiries from, and may be subject to investigation by, federal and state agencies. Depending on whether the underlying conduct in these or future inquiries or investigations could be considered systemic, their resolution could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

If any of our existing health care facilities lose their accreditation or any of our new facilities fail to receive accreditation, such facilities could become ineligible to receive reimbursement under Medicare or Medicaid.

The construction and operation of healthcare facilities are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation relating to, among other things, the adequacy of medical care, equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures, fire prevention, rate-setting and compliance with building codes and environmental protection. Additionally, such facilities are subject to periodic inspection by government authorities to assure their continued compliance with these various standards. If we fail to adhere to these standards, we could be subject to monetary and operational penalties.

We are subject to uncertainties regarding recent health care reform, which represents a significant change to the health care industry.

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “PPACA”). The Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Reconciliation Act”), which contains a number of amendments to the PPACA, was signed into law on March 30, 2010. Two primary goals of the PPACA, combined with the Reconciliation Act (collectively referred to as the “Health Reform Legislation”), are to provide for increased access to coverage for healthcare and to reduce healthcare-related expenses.

 

28


The expansion of health insurance coverage under the Health Reform Legislation may increase the number of patients using our facilities who have either private or public program coverage. In addition, a disproportionately large percentage of new Medicaid coverage is likely to be in states that currently have relatively low income eligibility requirements and may include states where we have facilities. Furthermore, as a result of the Health Reform Legislation, there may be a reduction in uninsured patients, which should reduce our expense from uncollectible accounts receivable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Health Reform Legislation makes a number of other changes to Medicare and Medicaid which we believe may have an adverse impact on us. The Health Reform Legislation revises reimbursement under the Medicare and Medicaid programs to emphasize the efficient delivery of high quality care and contains a number of incentives and penalties under these programs to achieve these goals. The Health Reform Legislation provides for decreases in the annual market basket update for federal fiscal years 2010 through 2019, a productivity offset to the market basket update beginning October 1, 2011 for Medicare Part B reimbursable items and services and beginning October 1, 2012 for Medicare inpatient hospital services. The Health Reform Legislation will reduce Medicare and Medicaid disproportionate share payments beginning in 2014, which would adversely impact the reimbursement we receive under these programs.

The various provisions in the Health Reform Legislation that directly or indirectly affect reimbursement are scheduled to take effect over a number of years. Health Reform Legislation provisions are likely to be affected by the incomplete nature of implementing regulations or expected forthcoming interpretive guidance, gradual implementation, future legislation, and possible judicial nullification of all or certain provisions of the Health Reform Legislation. Further Health Reform Legislation provisions, such as those creating the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Independent Payment Advisory Board, create certain flexibilities in how healthcare may be reimbursed by federal programs in the future. Thus, we cannot predict the impact of the Health Reform Legislation on our future reimbursement at this time.

The Health Reform Legislation also contains provisions aimed at reducing fraud and abuse in healthcare. The Health Reform Legislation amends several existing laws, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (the “Anti-Kickback Statute”) and the False Claims Act, making it easier for government agencies and private plaintiffs to prevail in lawsuits brought against healthcare providers. Congress revised the intent requirement of the Anti-Kickback Statute to provide that a person is not required to “have actual knowledge or specific intent to commit a violation of” the Anti-Kickback Statute in order to be found guilty of violating such law. The Health Reform Legislation also provides that any claims for items or services that violate the Anti-Kickback Statute are also considered false claims for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act. The Health Reform Legislation provides that a healthcare provider that knowingly retains an overpayment in excess of 60 days is subject to the federal civil False Claims Act. The Health Reform Legislation also expands the Recovery Audit Contractor program to Medicaid. These amendments also make it easier for severe fines and penalties to be imposed on healthcare providers that violate applicable laws and regulations.

The impact of the Health Reform Legislation on each of our facilities may vary. Because the Health Reform Legislation provisions are effective at various times over the next several years and in light of federal lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the Health Reform Legislation, we anticipate that many of the provisions in the Health Reform Legislation may be subject to further revision or judicial nullification. We cannot predict the impact the Health Reform Legislation may have on our business, results of operations, cash flow, capital resources and liquidity, or whether we will be able to successfully adapt to the changes required by the Health Reform Legislation.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and competition may lead to declines in patient volumes.

The healthcare industry is highly competitive, and competition among healthcare providers (including hospitals) for patients, psychiatrists and other healthcare professionals has intensified in recent years. There are other healthcare facilities that provide behavioral and other mental health services comparable to at least some of

 

29


those offered by our facilities in each of the geographical areas in which we operate. Some of our competitors are owned by tax-supported governmental agencies or by nonprofit corporations and may have certain financial advantages not available to us, including endowments, charitable contributions, tax-exempt financing and exemptions from sales, property and income taxes.

If our competitors are better able to attract patients, recruit and retain psychiatrists, physicians and other healthcare professionals, expand services or obtain favorable managed care contracts at their facilities, we may experience a decline in patient volume and our business may be harmed.

The trend by insurance companies and managed care organizations to enter into sole source contracts may limit our ability to obtain patients.

Insurance companies and managed care organizations are entering into sole source contracts with healthcare providers, which could limit our ability to obtain patients since we do not offer the range of services required for these contracts. Moreover, private insurers, managed care organizations and, to a lesser extent, Medicaid and Medicare, are beginning to carve-out specific services, including mental health and substance abuse services, and establish small, specialized networks of providers for such services at fixed reimbursement rates. Continued growth in the use of carve-out arrangements could materially adversely affect our business to the extent we are not selected to participate in such smaller specialized networks or if the reimbursement rate is not adequate to cover the cost of providing the service.

Our performance depends on our ability to recruit and retain quality psychiatrists and other physicians.

The success and competitive advantage of our facilities depends, in part, on the number and quality of the psychiatrists and other physicians on the medical staffs of our facilities and our maintenance of good relations with those medical professionals. Although we employ psychiatrists and other physicians at many of our facilities, psychiatrists and other physicians generally are not employees of our facilities, and, in a number of our markets, they have admitting privileges at hospitals providing acute or inpatient behavioral health services. Such physicians (including psychiatrists) may terminate their affiliation with us at any time or admit their patients to competing healthcare facilities or hospitals. If we are unable to attract and retain sufficient numbers of quality psychiatrists and other physicians by providing adequate support personnel and facilities that meet the needs of those psychiatrists and other physicians, they may be discouraged from referring patients to our facilities and our results of operations may decline.

It may become difficult for us to attract and retain an adequate number of psychiatrists and other physicians to practice in certain of the communities in which our facilities are located. Our failure to recruit psychiatrists and other physicians to these communities or the loss of such medical professionals in these communities could make it more difficult to attract patients to our facilities and thereby may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, our ability to recruit psychiatrists and other physicians is closely regulated. The form, amount and duration of assistance we can provide to recruited psychiatrists and other physicians is limited by the federal physician self-referral law (the “Stark Law”), the Anti-Kickback Statute, state anti-kickback statutes, and related regulations. For example, the Stark Law requires, among other things, that recruitment assistance can only be provided to psychiatrists and other physicians who meet certain geographic and practice requirements, that the amount of assistance cannot be changed during the term of the recruitment agreement, and that the recruitment payments cannot generally benefit psychiatrists and other physicians currently in practice in the community beyond recruitment costs actually incurred by them.

Our facilities face competition for staffing that may increase our labor costs and reduce our profitability.

Our operations depend on the efforts, abilities, and experience of our management and medical support personnel, including our therapists, nurses, pharmacists and mental health technicians, as well as our psychiatrists

 

30


and other physicians. We compete with other healthcare providers in recruiting and retaining qualified management, physicians (including psychiatrists) and support personnel responsible for the daily operations of our facilities.

The nationwide shortage of nurses and other medical support personnel has been a significant operating issue facing us and other healthcare providers. This shortage may require us to enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other medical support personnel or require us to hire more expensive temporary or contract personnel. In addition, certain of our facilities are required to maintain specified nurse-staffing levels. To the extent we cannot meet those levels, we may be required to limit the services provided by these facilities, which would have a corresponding adverse effect on our net operating revenues.

Increased labor union activity is another factor that could adversely affect our labor costs. To date, labor unions represent employees at only five of our 34 facilities. Although we are not aware of any union organizing activity at any of our other facilities, we are unable to predict whether any such activity will take place in the future. To the extent that a greater portion of our employee base unionizes, it is possible that our labor costs could increase materially.

We cannot predict the degree to which we will be affected by the future availability or cost of attracting and retaining talented medical support staff. If our general labor and related expenses increase, we may not be able to raise our rates correspondingly. Our failure to either recruit and retain qualified management, nurses and other medical support personnel or control our labor costs could harm our results of operations.

We depend heavily on key management personnel, and the departure of one or more of our key executives or a significant portion of our local facility management personnel could harm our business.

The expertise and efforts of our senior executives and the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, medical director, physicians and other key members of our facility management personnel are critical to the success of our business. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior executives or of a significant portion of our facility management personnel could significantly undermine our management expertise and our ability to provide efficient, quality healthcare services at our facilities, which could harm our business.

In addition, while our management was successful in operating and expanding PSI, there can be no assurance that they will be able to duplicate that success at Acadia.

We could face risks associated with, or arising out of, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.

We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations that:

 

   

regulate certain activities and operations that may have environmental or health and safety effects, such as the generation, handling and disposal of medical wastes,

 

   

impose liability for costs of cleaning up, and damages to natural resources from, past spills, waste disposals on and off-site, or other releases of hazardous materials or regulated substances, and

 

   

regulate workplace safety.

Compliance with these laws and regulations could increase our costs of operation. Violation of these laws may subject us to significant fines, penalties or disposal costs, which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We could be responsible for the investigation and remediation of environmental conditions at currently or formerly operated or leased sites, as well as for associated liabilities, including liabilities for natural resource damages, third party property damage or personal injury resulting from lawsuits that could be brought by the government or private litigants, relating to our operations, the operations of

 

31


facilities or the land on which our facilities are located. We may be subject to these liabilities regardless of whether we lease or own the facility, and regardless of whether such environmental conditions were created by us or by a prior owner or tenant, or by a third party or a neighboring facility whose operations may have affected such facility or land. That is because liability for contamination under certain environmental laws can be imposed on current or past owners or operators of a site without regard to fault. We cannot assure you that environmental conditions relating to our prior, existing or future sites or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities we may have assumed or acquired will not have a material adverse affect on our business.

Our acquisition strategy exposes us to a variety of operational and financial risks.

A principal element of our business strategy is to grow by acquiring other companies and assets in the behavioral health industry. Growth, especially rapid growth, through acquisitions exposes us to a variety of operational and financial risks. We summarize the most significant of these risks below.

Integration risks.

We must integrate our acquisitions with our existing operations. This process includes the integration of the various components of our business (including the following) and of the businesses we have acquired or may do so in the future:

 

   

additional psychiatrists, other physicians and employees who are not familiar with our operations;

 

   

patients who may elect to switch to another behavioral health care provider;

 

   

regulatory compliance programs; and

 

   

disparate operating, information and record keeping systems and technology platforms.

Integrating a new facility could be expensive and time consuming and could disrupt our ongoing business, negatively affect cash flow and distract management and other key personnel from day-to-day operations.

We may not be able to combine successfully the operations of recently acquired PHC with our operations, and, even if such integration is accomplished, we may never realize the potential benefits of the acquisition. The integration of acquisitions, including PHC, with our operations requires significant attention from management, may impose substantial demands on our operations or other projects and may impose challenges on the combined business including, but not limited to, consistencies in business standards, procedures, policies and business cultures. The PHC integration, which began in earnest upon the closing of the Merger, also involves a capital outlay, and the return that we achieved on any capital invested may be less than the return that we would achieve on our other projects or investments. Although the YFCS and PHC integrations are underway, they are not complete. If we fail to complete these integrations, we may never fully realize the potential benefits of the related acquisitions.

Benefits may not materialize.

When evaluating potential acquisition targets, we identify potential synergies and cost savings that we expect to realize upon the successful completion of the acquisition and the integration of the related operations. We may, however, be unable to achieve or may otherwise never realize the expected benefits. In connection with the Merger, the expected improvements to our revenue base result from a rate increase on one of our contracts effective in March 2011 and the expansion of one of our existing contracts in December 2010. In an effort to illustrate the impact of these items on our operating income, we have made an estimate of the impact of these improvements for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, even though they were not effective for that entire

 

32


period. In addition, we have made an estimate of the future operating income we expect to earn once the Seven Hills Behavioral Center is operating at expected levels. The Seven Hills Behavioral Center was opened in the fourth quarter of 2008 and became CMS certified in July 2010. See “Acadia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Anticipated Synergies, Cost Savings and Revenue Improvements.” Although these estimates are presented in “Acadia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Anticipated Synergies, Cost Savings and Revenue Improvements” with numerical specificity, they are inherently uncertain and are not intended to represent what our financial position or results of operations might be for any future period. Our ability to realize the expected benefits from these improvements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, such as changes to government regulation governing or otherwise impacting the behavioral health care industry, reductions in reimbursement rates from third party payors, reductions in service levels under our contracts, operating difficulties, client preferences, changes in competition and general economic or industry conditions. If we are unsuccessful in implementing these improvements or if we do not achieve our expected results, it may adversely impact our results of operations.

Assumptions of unknown liabilities

Facilities that we acquire may have unknown or contingent liabilities, including, but not limited to, liabilities for failure to comply with healthcare laws and regulations. Although we typically attempt to exclude significant liabilities from our acquisition transactions and seek indemnification from the sellers of such facilities for at least a portion of these matters, we may experience difficulty enforcing those obligations or we may incur material liabilities for the past activities of acquired facilities. Such liabilities and related legal or other costs and/or resulting damage to a facility’s reputation could negatively impact our business.

Competing for acquisitions

We face competition for acquisition candidates primarily from other for-profit healthcare companies, as well as from not-for-profit entities. Some of our competitors have greater resources than we do. As a result, we may pay more to acquire a target business or may agree to less favorable deal terms than we would have otherwise. Our principal competitors for acquisitions have included Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”), Aurora Behavioral Health Care (“Aurora”) and Ascend Health Corporation (“Ascend”). Also, suitable acquisitions may not be accomplished due to unfavorable terms.

Further, the cost of an acquisition could result in a dilutive effect on our results of operations, depending on various factors, including the amount paid for an acquired facility, the acquired facility’s results of operations, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, effects of subsequent legislation and limits on rate increases.

Managing growth

Some of the facilities we have acquired or may acquire in the future may have had significantly lower operating margins than the facilities we operated prior to the time of our acquisition thereof or had operating losses prior to such acquisition. If we fail to improve the operating margins of the facilities we acquire, operate such facilities profitably or effectively integrate the operations of the acquired facilities, our results of operations could be negatively impacted.

State efforts to regulate the construction or expansion of health care facilities could impair our ability to operate and expand our operations.

A majority of the states in which we operate facilities have enacted Certificates of Need (“CON”) laws that regulate the construction or expansion of healthcare facilities, certain capital expenditures or changes in services or bed capacity. In giving approval for these actions, these states consider the need for additional or

 

33


expanded healthcare facilities or services. Our failure to obtain necessary state approval could (i) result in our inability to acquire a targeted facility, complete a desired expansion or make a desired replacement, (ii) make a facility ineligible to receive reimbursement under the Medicare or Medicaid programs or (iii) result in the revocation of a facility’s license or impose civil or criminal penalties on us, any of which could harm our business.

In addition, significant CON reforms have been proposed in a number of states that would increase the capital spending thresholds and provide exemptions of various services from review requirements. In the past, we have not experienced any material adverse effects from such requirements, but we cannot predict the impact of these changes upon our operations.

Controls designed to reduce inpatient services may reduce our revenues.

Controls imposed by Medicare, Medicaid and commercial third-party payors designed to reduce admissions and lengths of stay, commonly referred to as “utilization review,” have affected and are expected to continue to affect our facilities. Utilization review entails the review of the admission and course of treatment of a patient by health plans. Inpatient utilization, average lengths of stay and occupancy rates continue to be negatively affected by payor-required preadmission authorization and utilization review and by payor pressure to maximize outpatient and alternative healthcare delivery services for less acutely ill patients. Efforts to impose more stringent cost controls are expected to continue. For example, the Health Reform Legislation potentially expands the use of prepayment review by Medicare contractors by eliminating statutory restrictions on its use. Utilization review is also a requirement of most non-governmental managed-care organizations and other third-party payors. Although we are unable to predict the effect these controls and changes will have on our operations, significant limits on the scope of services reimbursed and on reimbursement rates and fees could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Different interpretations of accounting principles could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Generally accepted accounting principles are complex, continually evolving and may be subject to varied interpretation by us, our independent registered public accounting firm and the SEC. Such varied interpretations could result from differing views related to specific facts and circumstances. Differences in interpretation of generally accepted accounting principles could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Although we have facilities in 18 states, we have substantial operations in each of Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi and Nevada, which makes us especially sensitive to regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive conditions and changes in those states.

We currently operate 34 treatment facilities, 18 of which are located in Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi or Nevada. Our revenues in those states represented approximately 53% of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 (on a pro forma basis giving effect to the YFCS acquisition and the Merger, including PHC’s acquisition of MeadowWood). This concentration makes us particularly sensitive to legislative, regulatory, economic, environmental and competition changes in those states. Any material change in the current payment programs or regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in these states could have a disproportionate effect on our overall business results.

In addition, our facilities in Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi and other areas across the Gulf Coast (including Texas) are located in hurricane-prone areas. In the past, hurricanes have had a disruptive effect on the operations of our facilities in the Gulf Coast and the patient populations in those states. Our business activities could be significantly disrupted by a particularly active hurricane season or even a single storm, and our property insurance may not be adequate to cover losses from such storms or other natural disasters.

 

34


An increase in uninsured and underinsured patients or the deterioration in the collectability of the accounts of such patients could harm our results of operations.

Collection of receivables from third-party payors and patients is critical to our operating performance. Our primary collection risks relate to uninsured patients and the portion of the bill that is the patient’s responsibility, which primarily includes co-payments and deductibles. We estimate our provisions for doubtful accounts based on general factors such as payor source, the agings of the receivables and historical collection experience. At December 31, 2010, our allowance for doubtful accounts represented approximately 19% of our accounts receivable balance as of such date (calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to the YFCS acquisition, the MeadowWood acquisition and the Merger). We routinely review accounts receivable balances in conjunction with these factors and other economic conditions that might ultimately affect the collectability of the patient accounts and make adjustments to our allowances as warranted. Significant changes in business office operations, payor mix, economic conditions or trends in federal and state governmental health coverage (including implementation of the Health Reform Legislation) could affect our collection of accounts receivable, cash flow and results of operations. If we experience unexpected increases in the growth of uninsured and underinsured patients or in bad debt expenses, our results of operations will be harmed.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

Historically, as a privately-held company, we were not required to maintain internal control over financial reporting in a manner that meets the standards of publicly traded companies required by Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, standards that, as a newly public company, we will be required to meet in the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements in the future. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to attest to the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis, may suffer adverse regulatory consequences or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules and may breach the covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Outstanding Notes. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in our financial statements is also likely to suffer if we or our independent registered public accounting firm report a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we will incur incremental costs in order to improve our internal control over financial reporting and comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, including increased auditing and legal fees.

We are a “controlled company,” controlled by Waud Capital Partners, whose interest in our business may be different from ours or yours.

Waud Capital Partners controls approximately 78.3% of the voting power of our common stock and is able to elect a majority of our board of directors in accordance with the terms of the stockholders agreement that we entered into with Waud Capital Partners and certain members of our management upon the closing of the Merger. For so long as Waud Capital Partners owns at least 17.5% of our outstanding common stock, it has the right to designate a majority of our board of directors and consent rights to many corporate actions, such as issuing equity or debt securities, paying dividends, acquiring any interest in another company and materially changing our business activities. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Stockholders Agreement.” As a result of Waud Capital Partners’ voting power, we are considered a “controlled company” for the purposes of the Nasdaq listing requirements. As a “controlled company,” we are permitted to, and we do, opt out of the Nasdaq listing requirements that would otherwise require a majority of the members of our board of directors to be independent and require that we either establish a compensation committee and a nominating and governance committee, each comprised entirely of independent directors, or otherwise ensure that the

 

35


compensation of our executive officers and nominees for directors are determined or recommended to our board of directors by the independent members of our board of directors. The Nasdaq listing requirements are intended to ensure that directors who meet the independence standard are free of any conflicting interest that could influence their actions as directors. It is possible that the interests of Waud Capital Partners may in some circumstances conflict with our interests and the interests of our other stockholders.

Future sales of common stock by Acadia’s existing stockholders may cause our stock price to fall.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales by our existing stockholders in the market, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

Waud Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates, along with certain members of our management, have certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock beneficially owned by them. The presence of additional shares of our common stock trading in the public market, as a result of the exercise of such registration rights, may have an adverse effect on the market price of Acadia’s securities.

We incur substantial costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We incur costs associated with complying with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley and related rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq. The expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. We expect these laws and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. Since we only became a publicly traded in November 2011, none of these costs are reflected in our historical financial statements. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as our executive officers. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

The Exchange Offer is designed to provide holders of Outstanding Notes with an opportunity to acquire Exchange Notes which, unlike the Outstanding Notes, will be freely transferable at all times, subject to any restrictions on transfer imposed by state “blue sky” laws and provided that the holder is not our affiliate within the meaning of the Securities Act and represents that the Exchange Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of the holder’s business and the holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes.

The Outstanding Notes were originally issued and sold on November 1, 2011, to the initial purchaser pursuant to the purchase agreement dated October 27, 2011. The Outstanding Notes were issued and sold in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The concurrent resale of the Outstanding Notes by the initial purchaser to investors was done in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The Outstanding Notes may not be reoffered, resold or transferred other than (i) to us or our subsidiaries, (ii) to a qualified institutional buyer in compliance with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) outside the United States to a non-U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iv) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act that is acquiring the Outstanding Notes for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (vi) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

In connection with the original issuance and sale of the Outstanding Notes, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the exchange by us of the Exchange Notes for the Outstanding Notes, pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that we will file with the SEC an Exchange Offer registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act and offer to holders of Outstanding Notes who are able to make certain representations, the opportunity to exchange their Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes. Under some circumstances, holders of the Outstanding Notes, including holders who are not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, may require us to file, and to cause to become effective, a shelf registration statement covering resales of Outstanding Notes by these holders.

Under existing interpretations by the staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties in other transactions, the Exchange Notes would, in general, be freely transferable after the Exchange Offer without further registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that in the case of broker-dealers participating in the Exchange Offer, a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act must be delivered by such broker-dealers in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes. We have agreed to furnish a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to any such broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer. A broker-dealer that delivers such a prospectus to purchasers in connection with such resales will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement (including certain indemnification rights and obligations).

We do not intend to seek our own interpretation regarding the Exchange Offer, and we cannot assure you that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Notes as it has in other interpretations to third parties.

Each holder of Outstanding Notes that exchanges such Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer will be deemed to have made certain representations, including representations that (i) any Exchange Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) it has no

 

39


arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of Exchange Notes and (iii) it is not our affiliate as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.

If the holder is not a broker-dealer, it will be required to represent that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of Outstanding Notes or Exchange Notes. If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Outstanding Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.

Terms of the Exchange Offer; Period for Tendering Outstanding Notes

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus, we will accept any and all Outstanding Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the Exchange Offer. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Outstanding Notes accepted in the Exchange Offer. Holders may tender some or all of their Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. However, Outstanding Notes may be tendered only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The form and terms of the Exchange Notes are the same as the form and terms of the Outstanding Notes except that:

 

  (1) the Exchange Notes will bear a different CUSIP Number from the Outstanding Notes;

 

  (2) the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not bear legends restricting their transfer; and

 

  (3) the holders of the Exchange Notes will not be entitled to certain rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, including the provisions providing for an increase in the interest rate on the Outstanding Notes in certain circumstances relating to the timing of the Exchange Offer, which rights will terminate when the Exchange Offer to which this prospectus relates is terminated.

The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Outstanding Notes, will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the notes and will constitute, with the Outstanding Notes, a single series of notes under the indenture.

As of December 15, 2011, $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes are outstanding. This prospectus and the letter of transmittal, accompanying this prospectus, are being sent to all registered holders of Outstanding Notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer.

Holders of Outstanding Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware or the indenture governing the notes in connection with the Exchange Offer. We intend to conduct the Exchange Offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Outstanding Notes when, as and if we have given oral notice (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of our acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the Exchange Notes from us.

 

40


If any tendered Outstanding Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain specified events set forth in this prospectus or otherwise, the certificates for any unaccepted Outstanding Notes will be promptly returned, without expense, to the tendering holder thereof promptly following the expiration date of the Exchange Offer.

Holders who tender Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than transfer taxes in certain circumstances, in connection with the Exchange Offer. See “Fees and Expenses” and “Transfer Taxes” below.

The Exchange Offer will remain open for at least 20 full business days. The term “expiration date” will mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the Exchange Offer, in which case the term “expiration date” will mean the latest date and time to which the Exchange Offer is extended.

To extend the Exchange Offer, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date, we will:

 

  (1) notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral notice (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice, and

 

  (2) issue a notice by press release or other public announcement.

Any announcement of delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of the Exchange Offer will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

 

  (1) if any of the conditions below under the heading “Conditions to the Exchange Offer” shall have not been satisfied,

 

  (a) to delay accepting any Outstanding Notes,
  (b) to extend the Exchange Offer, or
  (c) to terminate the Exchange Offer, or

 

  (2) to amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner.

Such decision will also be communicated in a press release or other public announcement prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day following such decision. Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the registered holders. In the event of a material change to the terms of an Exchange Offer, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend the terms of the applicable Exchange Offer, if necessary, so that at least five business days remain in such Exchange Offer following notice of any such material change.

Interest on the Exchange Notes

No interest will be paid on either the Exchange Notes or the Outstanding Notes at the time of the exchange. The Exchange Notes will accrue interest from and including the last interest payment date on which interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes and, if no interest has been paid, the Exchange Notes will accrue interest since the issue date of the Outstanding Notes. Accordingly, the holders of Outstanding Notes that are accepted for exchange will not receive accrued but unpaid interest on such Outstanding Notes at the time of tender. Rather, that interest will be payable on the Exchange Notes delivered in exchange for the Outstanding Notes on the first interest payment date after the expiration date of the Exchange Offer.

Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes

Only a holder of Outstanding Notes may tender Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer. To tender in the Exchange Offer, a holder must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal or transmit an agent’s message in connection with a book-entry transfer, and, unless transmitting an agent’s message in connection with a book-entry transfer, mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or the facsimile, together with the Outstanding Notes and any other required documents, to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date. To be tendered effectively, the Outstanding Notes, letter of transmittal or an agent’s message and other required documents must be completed and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent” prior to the expiration date. Delivery of the Outstanding Notes may be made by book-entry transfer in accordance with the procedures described below. Confirmation of the book-entry transfer must be received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date.

The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted by a book-entry transfer facility to, and received by, the exchange agent forming a part of a confirmation of a book-entry, which states that the book-entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the book-entry transfer facility tendering the Outstanding Notes that the participant has received and agrees: (1) to participate in ATOP, (2) to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal and (3) that we may enforce the agreement against the participant.

The tender by a holder and our acceptance thereof will constitute an agreement between the holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal or agent’s message.

The method of delivery of Outstanding Notes and the letter of transmittal or agent’s message and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and sole risk of the holder. As an alternative to delivery by mail, holders may wish to consider overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. No letter of transmittal or Outstanding Notes should be sent to us. Holders may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the above transactions for them.

Any beneficial owner whose Outstanding Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on the beneficial owner’s behalf. See “Instructions to Letter of Transmittal” included with the letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus.

Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or by an “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act (banks; brokers and dealers; credit unions; national securities exchanges; registered securities associations; learning agencies; and savings associations) (each an “Eligible Guarantor Institution”) unless the Outstanding Notes tendered pursuant to the letter of transmittal are tendered (1) by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal or (2) for the account of an Eligible Guarantor Institution. In the event that signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, the guarantee must be by an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any Outstanding Notes listed in this prospectus, the Outstanding Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the Outstanding Notes with the signature thereon guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

 

42


If the letter of transmittal or any bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, the person signing should so indicate when signing, and evidence satisfactory to us of its authority to so act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal.

We understand that the exchange agent will make a request promptly after the date of this prospectus to establish accounts with respect to the Outstanding Notes at DTC for the purpose of facilitating the Exchange Offer, and subject to the establishment thereof, any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may make book-entry delivery of Outstanding Notes by causing DTC to transfer the Outstanding Notes into the exchange agent’s account with respect to the Outstanding Notes in accordance with DTC’s procedures for the transfer. Although delivery of the Outstanding Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, unless an agent’s message is received by the exchange agent in compliance with ATOP, or an appropriate letter of transmittal properly completed and duly executed, or a facsimile thereof, with any required signature guarantee and all other required documents, must in each case be transmitted to and received or confirmed by the exchange agent at its address set forth in this prospectus on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance of tendered Outstanding Notes and withdrawal of tendered Outstanding Notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all Outstanding Notes not properly tendered or any Outstanding Notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right in our sole discretion to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Outstanding Notes, provided however that, to the extent such waiver includes any condition to tender, we will waive such condition as to all tendering holders. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Outstanding Notes must be cured within the time we determine and in any case, before the expiration date. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Outstanding Notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give the notification. Tenders of Outstanding Notes will not be deemed to have been made until the defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Outstanding Notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the expiration date.

No Guaranteed Delivery

There are no guaranteed delivery procedures provided by us in connection with the Exchange Offer. As only registered holders are authorized to tender Outstanding Notes through DTC, beneficial owners of Outstanding Notes that are held in the name of a custodial entity must contact such entity sufficiently in advance of the expiration date if they wish to tender Outstanding Notes and be eligible to receive the Exchange Notes.

Withdrawal of Tenders

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, tenders of Outstanding Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration date.

To withdraw a tender of Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer, either a notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in this prospectus or you must comply with the appropriate withdrawal procedures of DTC’s ATOP. Any notice of withdrawal must be in writing and:

 

  (1) specify the name of the person having deposited the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn;

 

43


  (2) identify the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate number(s) and principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, or, in the case of Outstanding Notes transferred by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited;
  (3) be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which the Outstanding Notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the trustee with respect to the Outstanding Notes register the transfer of the Outstanding Notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and
  (4) specify the name in which any Outstanding Notes are to be registered, if different from that of the person depositing the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn.

All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of withdrawal notices will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any Outstanding Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer and no Exchange Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the Outstanding Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Any Outstanding Notes which have been tendered but which are not accepted for exchange will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to the holder promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Outstanding Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above under “—Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes” at any time prior to the expiration date.

Representations

To participate in the Exchange Offer, each holder will be required to make the following representations to us:

 

  (1) you or any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer is acquiring them in the ordinary course of business;
  (2) neither you nor any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes within the meaning of the federal securities laws;
  (3) neither you nor any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Outstanding Notes has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offer;
  (4) neither you nor any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Outstanding Notes is our “affiliate” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act; and
  (5) if you or another person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Outstanding Notes is a broker-dealer and you acquired the Outstanding Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes.

Broker-dealers who cannot make the representations in item (5) of the paragraph above cannot use this Exchange Offer prospectus in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offer.

If you are our “affiliate,” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, if you are a broker-dealer who acquired your Outstanding Notes in the initial offering and not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, or if you are engaged in, or intend to engage in, or have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of Exchange Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer, you or that person:

 

  (1) may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and therefore may not participate in the Exchange Offer; and
  (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom when reselling the Outstanding Notes.

 

44


The tender by a holder and our acceptance thereof will constitute an agreement between the holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal or agent’s message.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Exchange Offer, or any extension of the Exchange Offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for, any Outstanding Notes and may terminate the Exchange Offer (whether or not any Outstanding Notes have been accepted for exchange) or amend the Exchange Offer, if any of the following conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied, or has not been waived by us in our reasonable discretion, prior to the expiration date:

 

   

there is threatened, instituted or pending any action or proceeding before, or any injunction, order or decree issued by, any court or governmental agency or other governmental regulatory or administrative agency or commission:

 

  (1) seeking to restrain or prohibit the making or completion of the Exchange Offer or any other transaction contemplated by the Exchange Offer, or assessing or seeking any damages as a result of this transaction; or
  (2) resulting in a material delay in our ability to accept for exchange or exchange some or all of the Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer; or
  (3) any statute, rule, regulation, order or injunction has been sought, proposed, introduced, enacted, promulgated or deemed applicable to the Exchange Offer or any of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer by any governmental authority, domestic or foreign; or

 

   

any action has been taken, proposed or threatened, by any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, that, in our sole reasonable judgment, would directly or indirectly result in any of the consequences referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) above or, in our reasonable judgment, would result in the holders of Exchange Notes having obligations with respect to resales and transfers of Exchange Notes which are greater than those described in the interpretation of the SEC referred to above, or would otherwise make it inadvisable to proceed with the Exchange Offer; or the following has occurred:

 

  (1) any general suspension of or general limitation on prices for, or trading in, securities on any national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market; or
  (2) any limitation by a governmental authority which adversely affects our ability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer; or
  (3) a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States or any limitation by any governmental agency or authority which adversely affects the extension of credit; or
  (4) a commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other similar international calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States, or, in the case of any of the preceding events existing at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer, a material acceleration or worsening of these calamities; or

 

   

any change, or any development involving a prospective change, has occurred or been threatened in our business, financial condition, operations or prospects and those of our subsidiaries taken as a whole that is or may be adverse to us, or we have become aware of facts that have or may have an adverse impact on the value of the Outstanding Notes or the Exchange Notes, which in our sole reasonable judgment in any case makes it inadvisable to proceed with the Exchange Offer and/or with such acceptance for exchange or with such exchange; or

 

45


   

there shall occur a change in the current interpretation by the staff of the SEC which permits the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Outstanding Notes to be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than broker-dealers and any such holder which is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders’ business and such holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes; or

 

   

any law, statute, rule or regulation shall have been adopted or enacted which, in our reasonable judgment, would impair our ability to proceed with the Exchange Offer; or

 

   

a stop order shall have been issued by the SEC or any state securities authority suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, or proceedings shall have been initiated or, to our knowledge, threatened for that purpose, or any governmental approval has not been obtained, which approval we shall, in our sole reasonable discretion, deem necessary for the consummation of the Exchange Offer as contemplated hereby; or

 

   

we have received an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that there exists any actual or threatened legal impediment (including a default or prospective default under an agreement, indenture or other instrument or obligation to which we are a party or by which we are bound) to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer.

If we determine in our reasonable discretion that any of the foregoing events or conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied, we may, subject to applicable law, terminate the Exchange Offer (whether or not any Outstanding Notes have been accepted for exchange) or may waive any such condition or otherwise amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any respect. If such waiver or amendment constitutes a material change to the Exchange Offer, we will promptly disclose such waiver or amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of the Outstanding Notes and will extend the Exchange Offer to the extent required by Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

These conditions are for our sole benefit and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions, or we may waive them, in whole or in part, in our reasonable discretion, provided that we will not waive any condition with respect to an individual holder of Outstanding Notes unless we waive that condition for all such holders. Any reasonable determination made by us concerning an event, development or circumstance described or referred to above will be final and binding on all parties. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be a waiver of our rights and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time before the expiration of the Exchange Offer.

Exchange Agent

We have appointed U.S. Bank National Association as the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer. You should direct questions or requests for assistance with respect to the Exchange Offer procedures and requests for additional copies of this prospectus and the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent addressed as follows:

U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, EXCHANGE AGENT

By mail, hand delivery or overnight courier:

U.S. Bank National Association

60 Livingston Avenue

St. Paul, MN 55107

Attention: Specialized Finance Department

For Information Call:

(800) 934-6802

For facsimile transmission (for eligible institutions only):

(651) 495-8158

Confirm by Telephone:

(800) 934-6802

Delivery to an address other than set forth above will not constitute a valid delivery.

Fees and Expenses

We will pay the exchange agent customary fees for its services, reimburse the exchange agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provisions of these services and pay other registration expenses, including registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state blue sky securities laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery services and telephone, fees and disbursements to our counsel, application and filing fees and any fees and disbursements to our independent certified public accountants. We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers, or others soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer except for reimbursement of mailing expenses.

Accounting Treatment

The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the existing Outstanding Notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will recognize no gain or loss for accounting purposes. The expenses of the Exchange Offer will be capitalized and expensed over the term of the Exchange Notes.

Transfer Taxes

If you tender Outstanding Notes for exchange you will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes. However, if you instruct us to register Exchange Notes in the name of, or request that your Outstanding Notes not tendered or not accepted in the Exchange Offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder, you will be responsible for paying any transfer tax owed.

You May Suffer Adverse Consequences if you Fail to Exchange Outstanding Notes

If you do not tender your Outstanding Notes, you will not have any further registration rights, except for the rights described in the Registration Rights Agreement and described above. Your Outstanding Notes will

 

47


continue to be subject to the provisions of the indenture governing the notes regarding transfer and exchange of the Outstanding Notes and the restrictions on transfer of the Outstanding Notes imposed by the Securities Act and states securities law when we complete the Exchange Offer. These transfer restrictions are required because the Outstanding Notes were issued under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, if you do not tender your Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer, your ability to sell your Outstanding Notes could be adversely affected. Once we have completed the Exchange Offer, holders who have not tendered Outstanding Notes will not continue to be entitled to any increase in interest rate that the Registration Rights Agreement provides for if we do not complete the Exchange Offer.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

The Outstanding Notes that are not exchanged for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will remain restricted securities. Accordingly, the Outstanding Notes may be resold only:

 

  (1) to us upon redemption thereof or otherwise;
  (2) so long as the outstanding securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person inside the United States who is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
  (3) outside the United States to a non-U.S. person in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act; or
  (4) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act that is acquiring the Outstanding Notes for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act;
  (5) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, which other exemption is based upon an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to us; or
  (6) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

 

48


USE OF PROCEEDS

This Exchange Offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds, or otherwise, from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. The Outstanding Notes properly tendered and exchanged for Exchange Notes will be retired and cancelled. Accordingly, no additional debt will result from the exchange. We have agreed to bear the expense of the Exchange Offer.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following tables set forth the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data for Acadia, YFCS, PHC and MeadowWood as a combined company, giving effect to (1) Acadia’s acquisition of YFCS and the related debt and equity financing transactions on April 1, 2011, (2) PHC’s acquisition of MeadowWood and related debt financing transaction on July 1, 2011 and (3) the Merger and the related issuance of Old Notes on November 1, 2011, as if each had occurred on September 30, 2011 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and January 1, 2010 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. Acadia’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 reflects the acquisition of YFCS and related debt and equity transactions, and Acadia’s condensed consolidated statement of operations reflects the results of YFCS operations for the period from April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011. PHC’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 reflects the acquisition of MeadowWood and related debt financing transaction on July 1, 2011.

The fiscal years of Acadia, YFCS and HHC Delaware end December 31 while the fiscal year of PHC ended on June 30. The combined company will use Acadia’s fiscal year ending December 31.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of that date of Acadia and PHC. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations of Acadia, YFCS, HHC Delaware and PHC (which was derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 less the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2009 plus the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the three months ended September 30, 2010). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 combines Acadia’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for that period with the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of YFCS for the three months ended March 31, 2011, the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of HHC Delaware for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (which was derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 less the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2010 plus the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the three months ended September 30, 2011). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 combines the audited consolidated statements of operations of Acadia, YFCS and HHC Delaware for that period with the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for that period (which was derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 less the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2009 plus the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of PHC for the six months ended December 31, 2010).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under GAAP. The adjustments necessary to fairly present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data have been made based on available information and in the opinion of management are reasonable. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and revisions to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may have a significant impact on the pro forma adjustments. A final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the YFCS, MeadowWood and PHC acquisitions has not been completed and the completion of fair value determinations will most likely result in changes in the values assigned to property and equipment and other assets (including intangibles) acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

51


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what our financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the events noted above in fact occurred on the assumed dates or to project our financial position or results of operations for any future date or future period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should be read in conjunction with “Selected Historical Financial Information,” “Acadia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “PHC Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Acadia, YFCS, PHC and HHC Delaware included elsewhere in this prospectus

(a) 

The estimated fair value of Acadia common shares issuable to PHC stockholders is based on 4,891,667 of Acadia common shares issued to PHC stockholders multiplied by a stock price of $9.00. The equity consideration is reflected as a $49 increase in common stock based on the conversion of each PHC share into one-quarter of a share of Acadia common stock ($0.01 par value) and a $43,976 increase in additional paid-in capital. The total increase in additional paid-in capital of $45,629 also includes the estimated fair value of the vested portion of replacement equity-based awards of $1,543 and the $110 charge resulting from the accelerated vesting of the stock options held by PHC directors.

 

57


(b) 

The deferred tax liability of $183 represents the reclassification of PHC’s deferred tax asset of $648 from other assets to other liabilities less acquisition adjustments of $831 related to book and tax basis differences in intangible assets acquired.

The acquired assets and liabilities assumed will be recorded at their relative fair values as of the closing date of the Merger. Estimated goodwill is based upon a determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that is preliminary and subject to revision as the value of total consideration is finalized and additional information related to the fair value of property and equipment and other assets (including intangible assets) acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available. The actual determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will differ from that assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and such differences may be material. Qualitative factors comprising goodwill include efficiencies derived through synergies expected by the elimination of certain redundant corporate functions and expenses, the ability to leverage call center referrals to a broader provider base, coordination of services provided across the combined network of facilities, achievement of operating efficiencies by benchmarking performance and applying best practices throughout the combined company.

 

(8) Represents a $719 increase in cash as a result of the Merger. The sources and uses of cash in connection with the Merger were as follows:

ACADIA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations with “Selected Historical Financial Information—Acadia Historical Financial Data” and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should read “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

Overview

Our business strategy is to acquire and develop inpatient behavioral health care facilities and improve our operating results within our inpatient facilities and our other behavioral health care operations. From 2006 through 2010, the Company acquired 8 inpatient behavioral and substance abuse facilities. During this time, the Company also closed two underperforming assets. Our goal is to improve the operating results of our facilities by providing high quality services, expanding referral networks and marketing initiatives while meeting the increased demand for behavioral health care services through expansion of our current locations as well as developing new services within existing locations.

On April 1, 2011, Acadia completed the acquisition of YFCS, the largest private, for-profit provider of behavioral health, education and long-term support services exclusively for abused and neglected children and adolescents, for $178.0 million. YFCS operates 13 facilities in eight states and offers a broad array of behavioral programs to adults, adolescents and children. These programs include behavioral acute and residential care in inpatient facilities, therapeutic group homes, therapeutic foster care services, education, and other community based services. This transaction was financed with a new $135.0 million term loan facility and $10 million of borrowings on a new $30 million revolving credit facility, as well as $52.5 million of new equity contributions. On November 1, 2011, Acadia completed the Merger with PHC, a leading national provider of inpatient and outpatient mental health and drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs in Delaware, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Utah and Virginia. In connection with the Merger, we issued $150.0 million of the Outstanding Notes and used the proceeds of such debt issuance primarily to pay a cash dividend of $74.4 million to existing Acadia stockholders, repay PHC indebtedness of $26.4 million, fund the $5.0 million cash portion of the merger consideration issued to the holders of PHC’s Class B Common Stock, pay a $20.6 million fee to terminate the professional services agreement between Acadia and Waud Capital Partners and pay transaction-related expenses. The Outstanding Notes were issued at a discount of $2.5 million. Additionally, pursuant to the merger agreement, we issued 4,891,667 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. to the holders of PHC’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock based on a one-to-four conversion rate and 19,566,668 PHC shares outstanding immediately prior to the Merger.

The addition of PHC’s portfolio of facilities and services makes us the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of inpatient behavioral healthcare services based upon number of licensed beds in the United States. We believe that the Merger, together with Acadia’s recent acquisition of YFCS, positions the combined company as a leading platform in a highly fragmented industry under the direction of an experienced management team that has significant industry expertise. We expect to take advantage of several strategies that are more accessible as a result of our increased size and geographic scale, including implementing a national marketing strategy to attract new patients and referral sources, increasing our volume of out-of-state referrals, providing a broader range of services to new and existing patients and clients and selectively pursuing opportunities to expand our facility and bed count.

The combined company’s facilities will further diversify our payor base, services offered and geographic footprint. We believe that greater geographic diversification will, among other things, limit our

exposure to specific Medicaid payors funded by any specific state. On a pro forma basis giving effect to the Merger, we would have received Medicaid funding from 23 states over the year ended December 31, 2010. PHC’s focus on providing services to individuals in the gaming and transportation industries will further limit our reimbursement risk by diversifying our revenues across new services and third party payors. The addition of PHC also provides diversification away from inpatient and outpatient services by adding internet and telephonic-based support services, which we believe is an attractive growth opportunity. PHC’s internet and telephonic-based services include crisis intervention, critical incidents coordination, employee counselor support, client monitoring, case management and health promotion.

Anticipated Synergies, Cost Savings and Revenue Improvements

We believe that the Merger presents significant synergies through the elimination of certain corporate overhead costs. The current PHC corporate functions will be integrated with and moved to the existing Acadia corporate offices in Franklin, TN. As a result, we will eliminate certain redundant positions, professional services and other expenses, as well as achieve efficiencies by integrating corporate functions within a larger company framework. We are targeting annual cost savings of approximately $3.4 million per annum beginning in fiscal 2012 as a result of this integration. In addition to these cost savings, we believe that there are substantial opportunities to generate organic revenue growth by increasing bed capacity in existing facilities, increasing utilization rates at our existing facilities, leveraging out-of-state referrals to increase volume, developing a national marketing plan and expanding services at existing facilities. For example, since September 1, 2011, we have added 76 beds and expect to add approximately 95 additional beds by March 31, 2012. Additionally, 42 beds have been converted from residential treatment care beds to acute psychiatric care beds, which have higher reimbursement rates on average.

In addition to synergies relating to the Merger, we currently expect that the capitalization of a certain facility lease will reduce lease expense by approximately $0.7 million per annum. We incurred costs related to the closing of the YFCS corporate office, including the costs of temporarily retaining certain employees for a transitional period following the acquisition date, of approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. We have also identified a recent improvement to our revenue base from a rate increase on one of our contracts effective in March 2011. We believe that this improvement would have had a positive effect on operating income (before taxes) of $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, respectively. We estimated the improvement from the rate increase by multiplying historical plan enrollment by the newly-contracted rate. In addition, we incurred start up losses at the Seven Hills Behavioral Center, which was opened in the fourth quarter of 2008 and became CMS certified in July 2010. We estimate that the Seven Hills Behavioral Center would have generated additional operating income (before taxes) of approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, if such facility were operating at expected levels at the beginning of the period. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may not achieve all of the expected benefits from synergies, cost savings and recent improvements to our revenue base.”

Sources of Revenue

We receive payments from the following sources, or services rendered in our facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid programs and otherwise; (ii) private insurers, including managed care plans; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare Program (Medicare) administered by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); and (iv) directly from other payors including individual patients and clients. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Merger and the acquisition of YFCS, approximately 66% of our revenue came from Medicaid, approximately 21% came from private insurers, approximately 8% came from Medicare and approximately 5% came from other payors.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 as Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Revenue. Revenue increased $97.7 million, or 202.0%, to $146.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $48.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase relates primarily to the $92.4 million of revenue generated from the acquisition of YFCS on April 1, 2011 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The remainder of the increase in revenue is attributable to same-facility growth in patient days for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of 7.0% and outpatient visits of 16.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Salaries, wages and benefits. SWB expense was $110.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $29.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $81.8 million. SWB expense includes $19.8 million of equity-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This equity-based compensation was realized because the YFCS acquisition and the Merger have provided a means to measure the fair market value of these awards. We do not expect equity-based compensation to be this significant in future periods because the merger of PHC exchanged this equity for common stock of the combined company. There was no equity-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Excluding equity-based compensation expense, SWB expense was $90.9 million, or 62.3% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 59.9% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in SWB expense, excluding equity-based compensation expense, as a percent of revenue is attributable to the higher SWB expense associated with the facilities acquired from YFCS on April 1, 2011. Same-facility SWB expense, excluding equity-based compensation expense, was $31.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 57.9% of revenue, compared to $29.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 59.9% of revenue.

Professional fees. Professional fees were $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 3.5% of revenue, compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 2.4% of revenue. Same-facility professional fees were $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 2.2% of revenue, compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 2.4% of revenue.

Supplies. Supplies expense was $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 5.3% of revenue, compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 5.9% of revenue. Same-facility supplies expense was $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 5.8% of revenue, compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 5.9% of revenue.

Rents and leases. Rents and leases were $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 2.6% of revenue, compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 2.0% of revenue. The increase in rents and leases is attributable to the acquisition of YFCS on April 1, 2011. Same-facility rents and leases were $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 1.9% of revenue, compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 2.0% of revenue.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses consist primarily of purchased services, utilities, insurance, travel and repairs and maintenance expenses. Other operating expenses were $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 8.9% of revenue, compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 10.3% of revenue. The decrease in other operating expenses as a percentage of revenue is attributable to the lower other operating expenses associated with the facilities acquired from YFCS on April 1, 2011. Same-facility other operating expenses were $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 11.1% of revenue, compared to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 10.6% of revenue.

Provision for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 1.1% of revenue, compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 3.7% of revenue. The decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts is attributable to the lower volumes of private pay admissions and bad debts associated with the facilities acquired from YFCS on April 1, 2011. The same-facility provision for doubtful accounts was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 3.1% of revenue, compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 3.7% of revenue.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 2.1% of revenue, compared to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, or 1.5% of revenue. The increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to the acquisition of YFCS on April 1, 2011.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense is a result of the $145.0 million we borrowed under our Senior Secured Credit Facility on April 1, 2011.

Sponsor management fees. Sponsor management fees were $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Sponsor management fees relate to our professional services agreement with Waud Capital Partners, which was terminated on November 1, 2011.

Transaction-related expenses. Transaction-related expenses were $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Transaction-related expenses represent costs incurred in the respective periods related to the acquisition of YFCS on April 1, 2011 and the merger with PHC completed on November 1, 2011.

On a same-facility basis, revenue increased $7.0 million or 13.5% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. Same-facility revenue growth is attributable to an increase in same-facility inpatient days of 10.3% and an increase in same-facility outpatient visits of 17.6%. Revenue increased by $5.5 million in 2010 compared to 2009 as a result of the acquisitions of the Acadiana facility on March 5, 2009 and The Village facility on November 2, 2009.

Salaries, wages and benefits. SWB expense was $36.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $30.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $5.5 million, or 18.1%. SWB expense represented 56.5% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 59.3% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009. Same-facility SWB expense was $32.8 million in 2010, or 55.8% of revenue, compared to $30.8 million in 2009, or 59.3% of revenue. This decrease in same-facility SWB expense as a percent of revenue is primarily the result of improved operating efficiencies on higher volumes.

Professional fees. Professional fees were $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or 5.6% of revenue, compared to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or 3.8% of revenue. Professional fees increased for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of approximately $0.8 million of acquisition-related expenses incurred in the year ended December 31, 2010 in connection with the YFCS acquisition. Same-facility professional fees, excluding acquisition-related expenses, were $2.7 million in 2010, or 4.5% of revenue, compared to $2.0 million in 2009, or 3.8% of revenue.

Supplies. Supplies expense was $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or 5.8% of total revenue, compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or 5.5% of total revenue.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses consist primarily of purchased services, utilities, insurance, travel and repairs and maintenance expenses. Other operating expenses were $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or 12.9% of revenue, compared to $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or 16.2% of revenue. Same-facility other operating expenses were $7.6 million in 2010, or 12.8% of revenue, compared to $8.4 million in 2009, or 16.2% of revenue. This decrease in same-facility other operating expenses as a percent of revenue is primarily attributable to reductions in insurance premiums as well as improved operating efficiencies.

Provision for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or 3.5% of revenue, compared to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or 4.7% of revenue.

On a same-facility basis, revenue increased $5.3 million or 15.8% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical

Cash provided by continuing operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $8.6 million compared to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cash provided by continuing operating activities is primarily attributable to cash provided by continuing operating activities of the YFCS facilities acquired on April 1, 2011. Cash provided by continuing operating activities includes transaction-related expenses. As of September 30, 2011, our current liabilities included approximately $2.8 million of transaction-related expenses incurred related to the YFCS acquisition and Merger. Days sales outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 37 compared to 36 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Cash used in continuing investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $187.6 million compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash used in continuing investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily consisted of cash paid for the YFCS acquisition of $178.0 million, cash paid for capital expenditures of $6.8 million and cash paid for a real estate acquisition of $2.2 million. Cash used for routine and expansion capital expenditures was approximately $1.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We define expansion capital expenditures as those that increase the capacity of our facilities or otherwise enhance revenue. Routine or maintenance capital expenditures were approximately 1.3% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Cash used in continuing investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 consisted primarily of $0.6 million in cash paid for capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $172.9 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily consisted of term loan borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility of $135.0 million, net borrowings under the revolver portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facility of $6.5 million, contributions from Holdings of $51.0 million and repayments of long-term debt of $10.0 million. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily consisted of capital distributions of $2.2 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

To finance our acquisition of YFCS and refinance our $10.0 million secured promissory note, we entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility on April 1, 2011. The Senior Secured Credit Facility, administered by Bank of America, N.A., includes $135.0 million of term loans and a revolving credit facility of $30.0 million. As of September 30, 2011, we had $23.1 million of availability under our revolving line of credit, which reflects the total revolving credit facility of $30.0 million less borrowings of $6.5 million and an undrawn letter of credit of $0.4 million. The term loans require quarterly principal payments of $1.7 million for June 30, 2011 to March 31, 2013, $3.4 million for June 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014, $4.2 million for June 30, 2014 to March 31, 2015, and $5.1 million for June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015, with the remaining principal balance due on the maturity date of April 1, 2016.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of Acadia’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Acadia and its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate tied to Acadia’s consolidated leverage ratio (defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facility). The Applicable Rate for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.0% and 3.0% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans, respectively, as of September 30, 2011. Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate

 

74


Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%. As of September 30, 2011, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bore interest at 4.2%. In addition, Acadia is required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving line of credit. As of September 30, 2011, undrawn amounts bore interest at a rate of 0.50%.

In connection with the Merger, we entered into the Second Amendment, which became effective in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The Second Amendment permitted Acadia to consummate the Merger, make a cash payment to existing stockholders and enter into related transactions, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The Second Amendment provides for a change in the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility based upon Acadia’s consolidated leverage ratio (defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility). Interest rates and the commitment fee on unused commitments related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility will be based upon the following pricing tiers:

The Second Amendment provides that the applicable rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans will be 4.50% and 3.50%, respectively, from the date of consummation of the Merger through the date of delivery of a compliance certificate for the first fiscal quarter ending after consummation of the Merger.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility, as amended by the Second Amendment, requires Acadia and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants.

As of September 30, 2011, Acadia was in compliance with such covenants.

On December 15, 2011, we entered into a third amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. See “Description of Other Indebtedness.”

12.875% Senior Notes due 2018

On November 1, 2011, we issued $150.0 million of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “notes”). The notes were issued at 98.323% of the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million, a discount of $2.5 million. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12.875% per annum. We will pay interest on the notes semi-annually, in arrears, on November 1 and May 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2012 through the maturity date of November 1, 2018.

The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on the Company’s equity interests or redeem, repurchase or retire the Company’s equity interests or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make certain investments; (v) incur certain liens; (vi) create

restrictions on the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company; (vii) engage in certain transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and (viii) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Acadia has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. With respect to our interest-bearing liabilities, our long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2011 was comprised of variable rate debt with interest based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would decrease our net income and cash flows by approximately $0.8 million on an annual basis based upon our borrowing level at September 30, 2011. With the issuance of $150.0 million of notes on November 1, 2011, our debt portfolio now consists of both variable rate and fixed rate debt.

Revenue. Revenue increased $0.2 million, or 0.4%, to $45.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $45.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Revenue decreased $2.2 million, or 1.2%, to $184.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $186.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in revenue is attributable to a decline in inpatient volumes related to utilization pressures by referral sources.

Salaries and benefits. Salaries and benefits expense was $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $1.7 million or 6.1%. Salaries and benefits expense represented 64.6% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 61.1% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in salaries and benefits expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 relates primarily to the January 1, 2011 release of a pay freeze and mandatory vacation requirements in place since 2009. Salaries and benefits expense was $113.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Salaries and benefits expense represented 61.8% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 61.0% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses were $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, or 21.7% of revenue, compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, or 19.7% of revenue. The increase in other operating expenses is due to increases in purchased services, supplies, and insurance expense related to the conversion of professional liability insurance policies to guaranteed cost programs. Other operating expenses were $38.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or 20.7% of revenue, compared to $37.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or 20.2% of revenue.

Provision for bad debts. The provision for bad debts was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, or 0.5% of revenue, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, or 0.1% of revenue. The provision for bad debts was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or 0.3% of revenue, compared to net recoveries of bad debts of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. YFCS’ facilities experience minimal bad debts given their low volumes of private pay admissions.

 

78


Interest expense. Interest expense was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Interest expense was $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in interest expense is a result of principal payments during 2010 and 2009.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, or 1.8% of revenue, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, or 2.0% of revenue. Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or 1.9% of revenue, compared to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or 3.8% of revenue. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily attributable to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized in 2009.

Impairment of goodwill. The loss on impairment of goodwill of $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 was a result of management’s conclusion that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded the fair value implied by the sale of the company.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses included in the financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience and other available information, the results of which form the basis of such estimates. While we believe our estimation processes are reasonable, actual results could differ from our estimates. The following accounting policies are considered critical to our operating performance and involve highly subjective and complex assumptions and assessments.

Revenue and Contractual Discounts

Net patient service revenue is derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment and includes reimbursement for the treatment of patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance (in network and out of network), and other programs, as well as uninsured patients. Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are provided.

The Medicare and Medicaid regulations are complex and various managed care contracts may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in our inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions requiring complex calculations and assumptions subject to interpretation. We estimate the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis by comparing our established billing rates with the amount we determine to be reimbursable given our interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. Most payments are determined based on negotiated per-diem rates. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from our estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently necessitating continual review and assessment of the estimation process by our management. We periodically compare the contractual rates on our patient accounting systems with the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates or the third-party payor contract for accuracy. We also monitor the adequacy of our contractual adjustments using financial measures such as comparing cash receipts to net patient revenue adjusted for bad debt expense.

All revenues are shown net of estimated contractual adjustments and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the contractual adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated, appropriate adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) “Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organizations.” Net contractual adjustments recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 for revenue booked in prior years

 

79


resulted in an increase in revenue of approximately $0.2 million. Net contractual adjustments recorded in the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 for revenue booked in prior years resulted in an increase in revenue of approximately $20,000.

Our cost report receivables and other unsettled amounts due from third parties at September 30, 2011 were $0.3 million. We believe that these receivables are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount. If the actual settlements differed by 1% from our estimated settlement value at September 30, 2011, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and net accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 would have changed by less than $0.1 million.

The following table presents revenue by payor type and as a percentage of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the interim nine month period ending September 30, 2011 (in thousands):

Medicaid accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 include less than $0.2 million of accounts pending Medicaid approval. These accounts are aged less than 60 days and are classified as Medicaid because we have experienced between 80% and 90% approval by Medicaid for this class of receivables.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our ability to collect outstanding patient receivables from third-party payors is critical to our operating performance and cash flows. The primary collection risk with regard to patient receivables lies with uninsured patient accounts or patient accounts for which primary insurance has paid, but the portion owed by the patient remains outstanding. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a number of factors, including the age of the accounts, historical collection experience, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. We continually monitor our accounts receivable balances and utilize retrorespective reviews and cash collection data to support our estimates of the provision for doubtful accounts. Our retrospective reviews have not resulted in significant changes to our allowance for doubtful accounts. Significant changes in payor mix or business office operations could have a significant impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, comprise a significant portion of our total assets. We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When management believes impairment indicators may exist, projections of the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposition of long-lived assets are prepared. If the projections indicate that the carrying values of the long-lived assets are not recoverable, we reduce the carrying values to fair value. We test for impairment of long-lived assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are measurable.

Goodwill also represents a significant portion of our total assets. We review goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events indicate that goodwill may be impaired. We review goodwill at the reporting level unit, which is one level below an operating segment. We compare the carrying value of the net assets of a reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment indicator exists and an estimate of the impairment loss is calculated. The fair value calculation includes multiple assumptions and estimates and changes in these assumptions and estimates could result in goodwill impairment that could materially adversely impact our financial position or results of operations.

Income Taxes

Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC was formed as a limited liability company (LLC). Some of Acadia’s subsidiaries are organized as LLCs and others as C-corporations. Acadia elected, where applicable, that all such entities be taxed as flow-through entities and as such, the results of operations of the Company related to the flow-through entities are included in the income tax returns of its members. Accordingly, taxable income is the direct obligation of the members.

Some of Acadia’s subsidiaries are taxed as C-corporations for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and are therefore directly liable for taxes on their respective separate income. A tax provision has been provided for income taxes that are the responsibility of Acadia or its subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements relating to the entities that are taxed as C-corporations and for any taxing jurisdictions that do not recognize an LLC as a flow-through entity.

Effective April 1, 2011, Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, on May 13, 2011, converted to a corporation (Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.) in accordance with Delaware law.

 

81


Insurance

We are subject to medical malpractice and other lawsuits due to the nature of the services we provide. We maintain commercial insurance coverage on a claims-made basis for general and professional liability claims with a $50,000 deductible and $1 million per claim limit and an aggregate limit of $3 million with excess umbrella coverage for an additional $7 million. The accrued insurance liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets include estimates of the ultimate costs for both reported claims and claims incurred but not reported. The recorded liabilities for professional and general liability risks are estimated based on historical claims, demographic factors, industry trends, severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions calculated by an independent third-party actuary. The estimated liability for professional and general liability claims could be significantly affected should current and future occurrences differ from historical claim trends and expectations.

PHC MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of PHC for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. You should read the following discussion of PHC’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with PHC’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business” and elsewhere in this prospectus. PHC’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

PHC presently provides behavioral health care services through three substance abuse treatment centers, three psychiatric hospitals, a residential treatment facility and eight outpatient psychiatric centers (collectively called “treatment facilities”). PHC’s revenue for providing behavioral health services through these facilities is derived from contracts with managed care companies, Medicare, Medicaid, state agencies, railroads, gaming industry corporations and individual clients. The profitability of PHC is largely dependent on the level of patient census and the payor mix at these treatment facilities. Patient census is measured by the number of days a client remains overnight at an inpatient facility or the number of visits or encounters with clients at outpatient clinics. Payor mix is determined by the source of payment to be received for each client being provided billable services. PHC’s administrative expenses do not vary greatly as a percentage of total revenue but the percentage tends to decrease slightly as revenue increases. Also included in administrative expenses is PHC’s internet operation, Behavioral Health Online, Inc., which continues to provide internet technology support for the subsidiaries and their contracts. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, PHC returned to profitability, which has continued through fiscal 2011, with the exception of the fourth quarter, in which transaction costs detailed below resulted in a loss.

The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation governing, among other things, licensure and certification, conduct of operations, audit and retroactive adjustment of prior government billings and reimbursement. In addition, there are on-going debates and initiatives regarding the restructuring of the health care system in its entirety. The extent of any regulatory changes and their impact on PHC’s business is unknown. The previous administration put forth proposals to mandate equality in the benefits available to those individuals suffering from mental illness (which become the MHPAEA). The full implementation of the MHPAEA started January 1, 2011. This legislation has improved access to PHC’s programs but its total effect on behavioral health providers cannot be fully assessed at this stage. Managed care has had a profound impact on PHC’s operations, in the form of shorter lengths of stay, extensive certification of benefits requirements and, in some cases, reduced payment for services. The current economic conditions continue to challenge PHC’s profitability through increased uninsured patients in our fee for service business and increased utilization in our capitated business.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

 

83


Revenue recognition and accounts receivable:

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

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

All revenues reported by PHC are shown net of estimated contractual adjustment and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the contractual adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated, appropriate adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) “Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organizations.” Net contractual adjustments recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2011 for revenue booked in prior periods resulted in a decrease in net revenue of approximately $25,900. Net contractual adjustments recorded in fiscal 2011 for revenue booked in prior years resulted in a decrease in net revenue of approximately $233,800. Net contractual adjustments recorded in fiscal 2010 for revenue booked in prior years resulted in a decrease in net revenue of approximately $72,200. These adjustments primarily relate to commercial payors as Medicare and Medicaid are adjusted through cost reporting and not included here.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, all cost reports through fiscal 2009 were finalized and a net payment of $92,267 was recorded in final settlement for all years through fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2011, $65,143 was received as tentative settlement for the fiscal 2010 Medicare cost report.

Below is revenue by payor and the accounts receivable aging information as of September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 for PHC’s treatment services segment.

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

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

The provision for bad debts is calculated based on a percentage of each aged accounts receivable category beginning at 0-5% on current accounts and increasing incrementally for each additional 30 days the account remains outstanding until the account is over 300 days outstanding, at which time the provision is 100% of the outstanding balance. These percentages vary by facility based on each facility’s experience in and expectations for collecting older receivables, which is reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted if required. PHC compares this required reserve amount to the current “Allowance for doubtful accounts” to determine the required bad debt expense for the period. This method of determining the required “Allowance for doubtful accounts” has historically resulted in an allowance for doubtful accounts of 20% or greater of the total outstanding receivables balance.

 

85


Income Taxes:

PHC follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in ASC 740. ASC 740 prescribes an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. PHC’s policy is to record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized in future periods. In June 2010, PHC recorded a valuation allowance of $150,103 against its deferred tax asset. This amount relates to Arizona State tax credits accumulated by the research operations which were sold in fiscal 2009. Since PHC no longer does business in Arizona, it is not likely that these tax credits will be used. During fiscal year 2010, PHC recorded a tax expense of $1,106,100. PHC recorded estimated tax expense of $1,407,936 for the year ended June 30, 2011.

In accordance with ASC 740, PHC may establish reserves for tax uncertainties that reflect the use of the comprehensive model for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. PHC has not established any such reserves at June 30, 2011 or 2010. Tax authorities periodically challenge certain transactions and deductions reported on our income tax returns. PHC does not expect the outcome of these examinations, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:

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

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Included in other assets as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 is PHC’s investment in Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC of $302,244 and $325,384, respectively. This LLC holds the assets of the Seven Hills Hospital completed in May, 2008, being leased and operated by PHC’s subsidiary Seven Hills Hospital, Inc. Also included, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, is PHC’s investment in Behavioral Health Partners, LLC of $687,972 and $711,947, respectively. This LLC constructed an out patient clinic which was completed in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 and occupied as a fourth site to PHC’s Harmony subsidiary on July 1, 2009 to replace its Longford site which was closed in fiscal 2010. This site has additional land available for construction of another hospital to be operated by PHC. Both investments are accounted for based on the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company records its share of the investor companies’ income/loss as an increase/decrease to the carrying value of these investments.

Results of Operations

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, PHC experienced continued increases in census and patient treatment revenue while contract services revenue decreased with changes in contracts.

Year Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2010

PHC experienced continued profit from operations during fiscal 2011 with increases in census and revenue at Seven Hills and the Harbor Oaks chemical dependency and rehabilitation unit and a significant increase in one of PHC’s call center contracts. These increases were off-set by several one-time charges to income from operations including a litigation settlement of $446,320 and a 401(k) compliance testing failure of approximately $185,000 in the third quarter and approximately $1,600,000 in merger and acquisition costs related to the MeadowWood acquisition completed on July 1, 2011 and the pending Merger. PHC’s income from operations decreased to income of $2,096,323 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 from $2,563,747 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Net income decreased to $580,005 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1,419,662 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Income from operations before taxes decreased to $1,987,941 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 from $2,525,762 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This decrease in profit is the result of approximately $708,000 in losses stemming from the start up of Renaissance Recovery and the one-time charges outlined above. Without these charges income from operations would have increased by approximately $2,900,000 or greater than 94%.

Total revenues increased 16.8% to $62,007,879 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $53,077,226 for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Total net patient care revenue from all facilities increased 15.8% to $57,495,735 for the year ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $49,647,395 for the year ended June 30, 2010. Patient days increased 4,336 days for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the majority of the increase in bed days was at Seven Hills Hospital, partially as a result of CMS licensure, and Harbor Oaks Hospital’s chemical dependency unit off-set by a decrease in census at Capstone Academy as a result of a slow-down of admissions in the Michigan Medicaid patients overall.

 

87


Net inpatient care revenue from inpatient psychiatric services increased 23.4% to $36,693,784 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 from $29,743,377 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This increase is due to a change in payor mix to payors with more favorable approved rates and increases in census noted above. Net partial hospitalization and outpatient care revenue increased 4.5% to $20,801,951 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 from $19,904,018 for the year ended June 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to a more favorable payor mix and the increased utilization of these step down programs by managed care as a treatment alternative to inpatient care. Wellplace revenues increased 31.6% to $4,512,144 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 from $3,429,831 for the year ended June 30, 2010 due to a significant increase in the services provided under the Wayne County call center contract in Michigan. All revenues reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are shown net of estimated contractual adjustments and charity care provided. When payment is made, if the contractual adjustment is found to have been understated or overstated, appropriate adjustments are made in the period the payment is received in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Health Care Organizations.

Patient care expenses increased by $3,928,001, or 14.9%, to $30,234,829 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $26,306,828 for the year ended June 30, 2010 due to the increase in census at Seven Hills and Harbor Oaks and the start up of Renaissance Recovery in the last quarter of this fiscal year and increased utilization under PHC’s capitated contracts. Inpatient census increased by 4,336 patient days, 6.3%, for the year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the year ended June 30, 2010. Contract expense, which includes the cost of outside service providers for PHC’s capitated contracts, increased 2.2% to $5,418,010 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $5,300,747 for the year ended June 30, 2010 due to higher utilization under the capitated contracts. Payroll and service related consulting expenses, including agency nursing, increased 16.0% to $24,968,560 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $21,533,585 for the year ended June 30, 2010. These staffing increases relate to increased census and the higher staffing costs related to the start up of Renaissance Recovery. Food and dietary expense increased 4.7% to $1,160,903 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $1,108,691 for the year ended June 30, 2010, which is in line with the increased census. Lab fees increased 28.6% to $383,318 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $298,068 for the year ended June 30, 2010. All of these increases were a result of increased patient census and the start-up of the Renaissance Recovery program. PHC continues to closely monitor the ordering of all hospital supplies, food and pharmaceutical supplies, but these expenses all relate directly to the number of days of inpatient services PHC provides and are expected to increase with higher patient census and outpatient visits.

Cost of contract support services related to Wellplace increased 22.0% to $3,617,509 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $2,964,621 for the year ended June 30, 2010. Payroll expense increased 58.6% to $1,714,510 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $1,081,109 for the year ended June 30, 2010 and related payroll tax expense increased 54.9% to $222,704 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $143,767 for the year ended June 30, 2010. Other employee benefits increased 73.7% to $23,052 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $13,274 for the year ended June 30, 2010. These increases in employee related expenses directly relate to the increased services required under the Wayne County contract expansion. Office expense increased 21.5% to $47,480 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $39,091 for the year ended June 30, 2010. Postage increased 86.7% to $36,116 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $19,340 for the year ended June 30, 2010. And printing expense increased to $20,385 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $1,423 for the year ended June 30, 2010. These increases in expense are all related to the increased contract requirements under the expansion of the Michigan call center Wayne County contract.

Provision for doubtful accounts increased 59.8% to $3,406,443 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 from $2,131,392 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This increase is a result of increases in accounts receivable stemming from increases in revenue and the increase in aged accounts as the economic situation makes co- payments more difficult to collect timely. The policy of PHC is to provide an allowance for doubtful

accounts based on the age of receivables resulting in higher bad debt expense as receivables age. The goal of PHC, given this policy, is to keep any changes in the provision for doubtful accounts at a rate lower than changes in aged accounts receivable.

 

88


The environment in which PHC operates today makes collection of receivables, particularly older receivables, more difficult than in previous years. Accordingly, PHC has increased staff, standardized some procedures for collecting receivables and instituted a more aggressive collection policy, which has for the most part resulted in an overall decrease in the age of its accounts receivable. PHC’s gross receivables from direct patient care increased 37.0% to $16,155,900 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $11,796,154 for the year ended June 30, 2010. PHC strives to keep bad debt expense under 5% and believes its reserve of approximately 30% of accounts receivable is sufficient based on the age of the receivables. PHC continues to reserve for bad debt based on managed care denials and past difficulty in collections. The growth of managed care has negatively impacted reimbursement for behavioral health services with higher contractual adjustments and a higher rate of denials creating slower payment requiring higher reserves and write offs.

Total administrative expenses increased 16.3% to $22,206,445 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $19,110,638 for the year ended June 30, 2010. This increase includes previously mentioned costs related to acquisition and merger of $1,600,000 and a one-time charge of $185,000 related to the 401(k) compliance testing failure. Payroll expense increased 7.0% to $8,159,091 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $7,623,957 for the year ended June 30, 2010. Employee benefits increased 23.0% to $1,362,092 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $1,107,740 for the year ended June 30, 2010. All of these increases in payroll and employee related expenses are a result of an increase in staff to facilitate increased operations. Maintenance expense increased 22.3% to $824,224 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $674,129 for the year ended June 30 2010 as PHC added maintenance expenses to ready Renaissance Recovery for operation and costs to maintain file servers and other equipment was higher than usual.

Legal Settlement expense of $446,320 resulted when an ongoing employee wrongful termination suit against PHC was settled in favor of the employee in April 2011. This litigation was initially settled through binding arbitration. When calculating the settlement awarded the employee, PHC believes the arbitrator erroneously took into consideration an employment agreement that was not in question and not terminated by PHC. Based on this miscalculation, PHC’s attorney recommended an appeal, which PHC initiated. Since PHC believed this judgment would be reversed on appeal, PHC did not make a provision for this settlement at the time of the appeal. In April 2011, the Michigan Supreme Court found in favor of the terminated employee requiring PHC to pay $446,320, which included accrued interest, to the terminated employee to satisfy this judgment. This amount is shown as a legal settlement expense in operations for the year ended June 30, 2011. Recording this transaction also eliminated the amount shown as restricted cash on the June 30, 2010 balance sheet.

Interest expense decreased 4.9% to $310,673 for the year ended June 30, 2011 from $326,582 for the year ended June 30, 2010. This decrease is due to a decrease in long term debt. PHC recorded income tax expense of $1,407,936 for the year ended June 30, 2011 based on an estimated combined tax rate of approximately 71% for both Federal and State taxes. This higher combined tax rate is the result of merger and acquisition costs included in administrative expenses that are not tax deductible. PHC recorded a tax expense of $1,106,100 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Without large non-deductible charges, PHC expects the combined effective income tax rate to be approximately 50% as its highest revenue producing facilities are located in states with higher tax rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, PHC had working capital of $9,896,344, including cash and cash equivalents of $3,668,521, compared to working capital of $8,197,236, including cash and cash equivalents of $4,540,278 at June 30, 2010.

PHC’s net cash provided by operating activities was $1,739,120 for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to $2,193,930 for the year ended June 30, 2010. Cash flow provided by operations in fiscal 2011 consists of net income of $580,005, increased by non-cash activity including depreciation and amortization of $1,105,249, non-cash interest expense of $146,531, change in deferred tax asset of $73,708, non-cash share

based charges of $164,916, warrant valuation of $11,626, provision for doubtful accounts of $3,406,443, offset by a non-cash gain on investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries of $25,864. Further offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $6,256,335 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $70,382, offset by an increase in income taxes payable of $105,169, an increase in accounts payable of $670,548, an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1,408,237 and a decrease in other assets of $524,438.

Cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2011 of $1,900,545 consisted of $1,081,810 used for capital expenditures for the acquisition of property and equipment, $52,466 used in the purchase of software licenses, $1,001,934 used in the acquire notes receivable, offset by payments of $162,685 on the note receivable and $72,980 in distributions from the equity investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2011 of $710,332 consisted of $317,800 in net borrowings under PHC’s debt facilities, $295,052 in deferred financing costs and $215,327 used in the repurchase of 173,495 shares of PHC’s Class A common stock, offset by $117,847 in proceeds from the issuance of stock as a result of the exercise of options and the issue of shares under the employee stock purchase plan. On July 1, 2011, in connection with PHC’s purchase of MeadowWood Behavioral Health (See Note P), PHC entered into a term loan and revolving credit agreement in the amount of $23.5 million and $3 million, respectively. On November 1, 2011, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, Acadia repaid all PHC indebtedness outstanding under its term loan and revolving credit agreement, and each were subsequently terminated.

A significant factor in the liquidity and cash flow of PHC is the timely collection of its accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2011, accounts receivable from patient care, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, increased approximately 26.3% to $11,106,008 from $8,793,831 on June 30, 2010. This increase is a result of increased revenue and slower payments from insurance payers. PHC monitors increases in accounts receivable closely and, based on the aging of the accounts receivables outstanding, is confident that the increase is not indicative of a payor problem. Better accounts receivable management due to increased staff, standardization of some procedures for collecting receivables and a more aggressive collection policy has made this possible in behavioral health, which is typically a difficult collection environment. The increased staff has allowed PHC to concentrate on current accounts receivable and resolve any problem issues before they become uncollectible. PHC’s collection policy calls for earlier contact with insurance carriers with regard to payment, use of fax and registered mail to follow-up or resubmit claims and earlier employment of collection agencies to assist in the collection process. PHC’s collectors will also seek assistance through every legal means, including the State Insurance Commissioner’s office, when appropriate, to collect claims. In light of the current economy, PHC has redoubled its efforts to collect accounts early. PHC will continue to closely monitor reserves for bad debt based on potential insurance denials and past difficulty in collections.

INDUSTRY

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 26.2% of Americans ages 18 or older, or slightly more than one in four adults, suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year and about 6% suffer from a serious mental illness. Approximately one in five children and adolescents has a mental disorder. Further, an estimated 2.8% of persons 12 years or older are dependent on or abuse illicit drugs, and an estimated 7% are dependent on or abuse alcohol, according to IBISWorld.

The mental health facilities and youth behavioral services market is estimated to be approximately $22 billion with an estimated 73 million people in the United States having diagnosable mental illnesses. The child and adolescent behavioral health services market is estimated to be approximately $10.1 billion in 2011 and is expected to grow to approximately $11 billion by 2014, according to IBISWorld. This market is likely to expand in light of the growing under age of 18 population, which is expected to reach 81.7 million by 2020. National expenditures on mental health and substance abuse treatment are expected to reach $239 billion by 2014. The mental health and substance abuse centers industry is growing in response to an increased awareness of mental and substance abuse diseases. In 2010, the industry generated revenue of approximately $9.0 billion. In 2014, the industry is expected to generate revenue of approximately $10.2 billion, according to IBISWorld. The behavioral health industry is highly fragmented, with only a few large national providers of significant scale. The industry is characterized by favorable supply and demand dynamics, with capacity reductions during the 1990s driving a sustained increase in occupancy rates.

The capacity reduction was largely driven by third-party payors reducing reimbursement, implementing more stringent admission criteria and decreasing the authorized length of stay. Since then, the supply of new beds has remained relatively stable as the industry has high barriers to entry, including CON restrictions, Medicare/Medicaid certification requirements and high start-up costs. Reduced capacity, mental health parity legislation (as discussed in “Business—Regulation—Mental Health Parity Legislation”) and increased demand for behavioral healthcare services have resulted in favorable industry fundamentals over the last several years. The industry has been characterized by relatively stable pricing and inpatient average length of stay combined with increased admissions and occupancy trends, with minimal exposure to uncompensated care and relatively low maintenance capital expenditure requirements.

The growing awareness of mental health and substance abuse conditions is expected to accelerate demand for services while healthcare reform is expected to increase access to industry services as more people gain insurance coverage. A key aspect of reform legislation is the extension of mental health parity protections established into law by the MHPAEA. Further, all health plans purchased through the new federally funded health insurance exchange system will cover mental health and substance abuse services on par with coverage for medical and surgical services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, healthcare reform makes a number of changes to Medicare and Medicaid that we believe may have an adverse impact on us. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We are subject to uncertainties regarding recent health care reform, which represents a significant change to the health care industry.”

BUSINESS

Overview

We are the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of inpatient behavioral health care services in the United States based upon number of licensed beds. As of November 1, 2011, we operated a total of 34 behavioral health care inpatient and outpatient facilities, with approximately 1,950 licensed beds, in 18 states. We believe that our primary focus on the provision of behavioral health services allows us to operate more efficiently and provide higher quality care than our competitors.

On November 1, 2011, we completed the Merger with PHC. PHC was a publicly-traded behavioral health services company providing psychiatric services to individuals who have behavioral health disorders, including alcohol and drug dependency, and employee assistance services to individuals in the gaming and transportation industries. On April 1, 2011, we acquired Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. (“YFCS”), the largest private, for-profit provider of behavioral health, education and long term support services exclusively for abused and neglected children and adolescents. YFCS’ services include residential treatment care, community-based services, acute care, specialized education services, therapeutic group homes, therapeutic foster care and medical and behavioral services.

On a pro forma basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, giving effect to the Merger, we would have generated revenue of $252.2 million and $320.3 million, respectively.

Acadia was formed as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware in 2005, and converted to a corporation on May 13, 2011. Our common stock is listed for trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ACHC.” Our principal executive offices are located at 830 Crescent Centre Drive, Suite 610, Franklin, Tennessee 37067, and our telephone number is (615) 861-6000.

Competitive Strengths

We believe the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors:

Premier operational management team with track record of success. Our management team has approximately 145 combined years of experience in acquiring, integrating and operating a variety of behavioral health facilities. Following the sale of PSI to Universal Health Services, Inc. in November 2010, certain of PSI’s key former executive officers joined Acadia in February 2011. The combination of the Acadia management team with the operational expertise of the former PSI management team gives us what we believe to be the premier leadership team in the behavioral health care industry. The new management team intends to bring its years of experience operating behavioral health facilities to generate strong cash flow and grow a strong business.

Favorable industry and legislative trends. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 6% of people in the United States suffer from a seriously debilitating mental illness and over 20% of children, either currently or at some point during their life, have had a seriously debilitating mental disorder. We believe the market for behavioral services will continue to grow due to increased awareness of mental health and substance abuse conditions and treatment options. National expenditures on mental health and substance abuse treatment are expected to reach $239 billion in 2014, up from $121 billion in 2003, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.4%.

While the growing awareness of mental health and substance abuse conditions is expected to accelerate demand for services, recent healthcare reform is expected to increase access to industry services as more people obtain insurance coverage. A key aspect of reform legislation is the extension of mental health parity protections established into law by the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of

 

93


2008 (the “MHPAEA”). The MHPAEA provides for equal coverage between psychiatric or mental health services and conventional medical health services and forbids employers and insurers from placing stricter limits on mental health care compared to other health conditions. According to IBISWorld, the MHPAEA is projected to affect more than 113 million individuals.

Leading platform in attractive healthcare niche. We are a leading behavioral healthcare platform in an industry that is undergoing consolidation in an effort to reduce costs and better negotiate with larger payor organizations. In addition, the behavioral health care industry has significant barriers to entry, including (i) significant initial capital outlays required to open new facilities (ii) expertise required to deliver highly specialized services safely and effectively and (iii) high regulatory hurdles that require market entrants to be knowledgeable of state and federal laws and be licensed with local agencies at the facility level.

Diversified revenue and payor bases. We currently operate 34 facilities in 18 states. The Merger increased our payor, patient/client and geographic diversity, which mitigates the potential risk associated with any single facility. On a pro forma basis for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, we received 66% of our revenue from Medicaid, 21% from commercial payors, 8% from Medicare, and 5% from other payors. As we receive Medicaid payments from 23 states, we do not believe that we are significantly affected by changes in reimbursement policies in any one state. Substantially all of our Medicaid payments relate to the care of children and adolescents. Management believes that children and adolescents are a patient class that is less susceptible to reductions in reimbursement rates. On a pro forma basis, our largest facility would have accounted for less than 12% of total revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, and no other facility would have accounted for more than 9% of total revenue for the same year. Additionally, on a pro forma basis, no state would have accounted for more than 15% of total revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011. We believe that our increased geographic diversity mitigates the impact of any financial or budgetary pressure that may arise in a particular state where we operate.

Strong cash flow generation and low capital requirements. We generate strong free cash flow by profitably operating our business and by actively managing our working capital. Moreover, as the behavioral health care business does not typically require the procurement and replacement of expensive medical equipment, our maintenance capital expenditure requirements are generally less than that of other facility-based health care providers. For the year ended December 31, 2010, our historical capital expenditures amounted to approximately 2.3% of our revenue. In addition, our accounts receivable management is less complex than medical/surgical hospital providers because there are fewer billing codes for inpatient behavioral health care facilities.

Business Strategy

We are committed to providing the communities we serve with high quality, cost-effective behavioral health services, while growing our business, increasing profitability and creating long-term value for our stockholders. To achieve these objectives, we have aligned our activities around the following growth strategies:

Increase margins by enhancing programs and improving performance at existing facilities. We believe we can improve efficiencies and increase operating margins by utilizing our management’s expertise and experience within existing programs and their expertise in improving performance at underperforming facilities. We believe the efficiencies can be realized by investing in growth in strong markets, addressing capital- constrained facilities that have underperformed and improving management systems. Furthermore, the combination of Acadia, YFCS and PHC gives us an opportunity to develop a marketing strategy in many markets which should help us increase the geographic footprint from which our existing facilities attract patients and referrals.

Opportunistically pursue acquisitions. We have established a national platform for becoming the leading dedicated provider of high quality behavioral health care services in the U.S. Our industry is highly fragmented, and we selectively seek opportunities to expand and diversify our base of operations by acquiring

 

94


additional facilities. We believe there are a number of acquisition candidates available at attractive valuations, and we have a number of potential acquisitions that are in various stages of development and consideration. We believe our focus on inpatient behavioral health care and history of completing acquisitions provides us with a strategic advantage in sourcing, evaluating and closing acquisitions. We intend to focus our efforts on acquiring additional acute psychiatric facilities, which should increase the percentage of such facilities in our portfolio. The combination of PHC and its recently acquired MeadowWood facility, which consists substantially of all of the assets of HHC Delaware, added seven inpatient facilities (four for general psychiatric services and three for substance abuse services) and eight outpatient psychiatric facilities as well as two call centers. We leverage our management team’s expertise to identify and integrate acquisitions based on a disciplined acquisition strategy that focuses on quality of service, return on investment and strategic benefits. We also have a comprehensive post-acquisition strategic plan to facilitate the integration of acquired facilities that includes improving facility operations, retaining and recruiting psychiatrists and expanding the breadth of services offered by the facilities.

Drive organic growth of existing facilities. We seek to increase revenue at our facilities by providing a broader range of services to new and existing patients and clients. The YFCS acquisition presented us with an opportunity to provide a wider array of behavioral health services (including adult services and acute-care services) to patients and clients in the markets YFCS serviced, without increasing the number of our licensed beds. We believe there are similar opportunities to market a broader array of services to the markets served by PHC’s facilities. We also intend to increase licensed bed counts in our existing facilities, with a focus on increasing the number of acute psychiatric beds. For example, since September 1, 2011, we have added 76 beds and expect to add approximately 95 additional beds by March 31, 2012. Additionally, 42 beds have already been converted from residential treatment care beds to acute psychiatric care beds, which have higher reimbursement rates on average. Furthermore, we believe that opportunities exist to leverage out-of-state referrals to increase volume and minimize payor concentration, especially with respect to our youth and adolescent focused services and our substance abuse services.

Types of Facilities and Services

Our facilities and services can generally be classified into the following categories: acute inpatient psychiatric facilities; residential treatment centers; group home, therapeutic group home and foster care; substance abuse facilities; outpatient community-based services; and other behavioral services, including specialized educational services and call centers. The table below presents the percentage of our total net revenue (on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Merger and Acadia’s acquisition of YFCS attributed to each facility or service category for the year ended December 31, 2010:

Description of Facilities

Acute Inpatient Psychiatric Facilities

Acute inpatient psychiatric facilities provide a high level of care in order to stabilize patients that are either a threat to themselves or to others. The acute setting provides 24-hour observation, daily intervention and monitoring by psychiatrists. Generally, due to high patient turnover and the special security and health precautions required, acute psychiatric hospitals have lower average occupancy.

 

95


Our facilities which offer acute care services provide evaluation and crisis stabilization of patients with severe psychiatric diagnoses through a medical model delivery that incorporates structured and intensive medical and behavioral therapies with 24-hour monitoring by a psychiatrist, psychiatric trained nurses and direct care staff. Lengths of stay for crisis stabilization and acute care range in these facilities range from three to five days and from five to twelve days, respectively.

As of November 1, 2011, we operated 10 facilities that provided acute care services in addition to other services.

Residential Treatment Centers

Residential treatment centers treat psychiatric patients in a non-hospital setting. The facilities balance therapy activities with social, academic and other activities. Since the setting is less intensive, demands on staffing, security and oversight are generally lower than inpatient psychiatric facilities. In contrast to acute care psychiatric facilities, occupancy can be managed more easily given a longer length of stay. Over time, however, residential treatment centers have continued to serve increasingly severe patients who would have been treated in acute care facilities in earlier years.

We provide residential treatment care through a medical model residential treatment facility, which offers intensive, medically-driven interventions, intense staff-to-patient ratios and sophisticated treatment regimens designed to deal with the high level of patient acuity and dysfunction. Children and adolescents admitted to these facilities typically have had multiple prior failed treatment attempts, histories of severe physical, sexual and emotional abuse, termination of parental custody, substance abuse, marked deficiencies in social, interpersonal and academic skills and a wide range of multiple psychiatric disorders. Treatment typically is provided by an interdisciplinary team coordinating psychopharmacological, individual, group and family therapy along with specialized accredited educational programs in both secure and unlocked environments. Lengths-of-stay range from three months to several years.

As of November 1, 2011, we operated 14 facilities that provided residential treatment care, in addition to other services.

Group Home, Therapeutic Group Homes and Foster Care

Our group-home programs provide family-style living for approximately four to 12 youths in a single house or apartment within residential communities where supervision and support are provided by 24-hour staff. The goal of a group home program is to teach family living and social skills through individual and group counseling sessions within a real life environment. The residents are encouraged to take on responsibility for the home and their health as well as actively take part in community functions. Most attend an accredited and licensed school (on our premises) or a local public school in their area.

We also operate therapeutic group homes which provide comprehensive treatment services for serious, emotionally disturbed adolescents. The ultimate goal is to reunite or place these children with their families or prepare them, when appropriate, for permanent placement with a relative or an adoptive family. Therapeutic foster care is considered the least restrictive form of therapeutic placement for children and adolescents with emotional disorders who often are part of the child welfare or juvenile justice system. Care is delivered in private homes with experienced foster parents who are trained to work with children and adolescents with special needs.

As of November 1, 2011, we operated two facilities that provided group home services and one facility provided therapeutic group home services.

Outpatient Community-Based Services

Our community-based services can be divided into two age groups: children and adolescents (seven to 18 years of age) and young children (three months to six years of age). Community-based programs are designed

 

96


to provide therapeutic treatment to children and adolescents who have a clinically-defined emotional, psychiatric or chemical dependency disorder while enabling the youth to remain at home and within their community. Many patients who participate in community-based programs have transitioned out of a residential facility or have a disorder that does not require placement in a facility that provides 24-hour care.

Community-based programs developed for these age groups provide a unique array of therapeutic services to a very high-risk population of children. These children suffer from severe congenital, neurobiological, speech/motor and early onset psychiatric disorders. These services are provided in clinics and employ a treatment model that is consistent with our multi, interdisciplinary medical treatment approach. Depending on their individual needs and treatment plan, children receive speech, physical, occupational and psychiatric interventions that are coordinated with services provided by their referring primary care physician. The children receive treatment from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. five days a week.

As of November 1, 2011, we operated eight facilities that provided community-based services.

Substance Abuse Centers

Substance abuse centers (or SACs) provide a comprehensive continuum of care for male and female adults with addictive disorders and co-occurring mental disorders. Our detox, inpatient, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment options are cost-effective and give patients access to the least restrictive level of care. All programs offer individualized treatment in a supportive and nurturing environment. As of November 1, 2011, we operated three SACs.

Specialized Education Services and Other Behavioral Services

Our accredited grammar, middle and high schools (including charter schools) are unique because of their focus on integrating educational interventions into each child’s individual treatment plan through participation in inter-disciplinary treatment team meetings to assist in monitoring and reporting on each child’s clinical progress.

Our education programs are accredited schools that provide a full educational experience to children and adolescents having special education needs. In some states, we provide educational services on an extended school year basis. As a result of the YFCS acquisition, we now also have charter schools that utilize teaching methods that address therapeutic needs particular to learning and behavioral deficits of the students.

Our education services also include vocational education and training that may allow those residents to become employable in entry level positions in the communities in which they reside. GED preparation courses are also offered for students who require assistance in developing test-taking skills and who would benefit from tutoring services.

As of November 1, 2011, we operated 11 facilities that provided educational services.

We also offer a variety of other behavioral health services for specialized populations who need specific treatment methods. Programs include “at risk” infant and children clinics, sexually maladaptive behavior (“SMB”) programs, programs for adolescent females, programs for the mentally retarded and developmentally disabled youth and programs for severe and persistently mentally ill youths.

Call Center Operations

We provide management, administrative and help line services through contracts with major railroads and a call center contract with Wayne County, Michigan.

In 1994, PHC began to operate a crisis hotline service under contract with a major transportation client. The hotline, Wellplace, is a national, 24-hour telephone service, which supplements the services provided by the

 

97


client’s Employee Assistance Programs. The services provided include information, crisis intervention, critical incidents coordination, employee counselor support, client monitoring, case management and health promotion. The hotline is staffed by counselors who refer callers to the appropriate professional resources for assistance with personal problems. Three major transportation companies subscribed to these services as of November 1, 2011. Wellplace also contracts with Wayne County Michigan to operate its call center. This call center is located in mid-town Detroit on the campus of the Detroit Medical Center and provides 24-hour crisis, eligibility and enrollment services for the Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Agency which oversees 56,000 lives or consumers for mental health services in Wayne County Michigan. Wellplace’s primary focus is now on growing its operations to take advantage of current opportunities and capitalize on the economies of scale in providing similar services to other companies and government units.

Internet Operations

We maintain a web site, Wellplace.com, which provides behavioral health professionals with the educational tools required to keep them abreast of behavioral health breakthroughs and keep individuals informed of current issues in behavioral health.

Summary of Facilities

We currently own or operate inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse facilities and facilities providing outpatient community based services, specialized education services and various other outpatient behavioral health services. The following table summarizes the services provided at, and information regarding, our facilities as of November 1, 2011.

Sources of Revenue

We receive payments from the following sources, for services rendered in our facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid programs and otherwise; (ii) private insurers, including managed care plans; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare Program (Medicare) administered by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); and (iv) directly from other payors including individual patients and clients. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Merger and the acquisition of YFCS, approximately 66% of our revenue came from Medicaid, approximately 21% came from private insurers, approximately 8% came from Medicare and approximately 5% came directly from other payors.

Regulation

Overview

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws, regulations and rules including, among others, those related to government healthcare participation requirements, various licensure and accreditations, reimbursement for patient services, health information privacy and security rules, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse provisions. Providers that are found to have violated any of these laws and regulations may be excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subjected to significant fines or penalties and/or required to repay amounts received from the government for previously billed patient services. We believe we are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and are not aware of pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of wrongdoing. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from government health programs.

 

99


Licensing and Certification

All of our facilities must comply with various federal, state and local statutes and regulations and receive periodic inspection by licensing agencies to assure compliance with such laws. The initial and continued licensure of our facilities, and certification to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, depends upon many factors, including accommodations, equipment, services, patient care, safety, personnel, physical environment, the existence of adequate policies, procedures and controls and the regulatory process regarding the facility’s initial licensure. Federal, state and local agencies survey facilities on a regular basis to determine whether such facilities are in compliance with governmental operating and health standards and conditions for participating in government programs. Such surveys include review of patient utilization and inspection of standards of patient care.

Certificates of Need

Many of the states in which we operate facilities have enacted CON laws as a condition prior to hospital capital expenditures, construction, expansion, modernization or initiation of major new services. Failure to obtain CON approval of certain activities can result in our inability to complete an acquisition, expansion or replacement, the imposition of civil or, in some cases, criminal sanctions, the inability to receive Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement or the revocation of a facility’s license, which could harm our business. In the past, we have not experienced any material adverse effects from those requirements, but we cannot predict the impact of these changes upon our operations.

Utilization Review

Federal regulations require that admissions and utilization of facilities by Medicare and Medicaid patients must be reviewed in order to ensure efficient utilization of facilities and services. The law and regulations require Quality Improvement Organizations (“QIOs”) to review the appropriateness of Medicare and Medicaid patient admissions and discharges, the quality of care provided, the validity of diagnosis related group classifications and the appropriateness of cases of length of stay. QIOs may deny payment for services provided, assess fines and also have the authority to recommend to the Department of Health and Human Services that a provider that is in substantial non-compliance with the Medicare Conditions of Participation be excluded from participating in the Medicare program.

Audits

Most healthcare facilities are subject to federal and state audits to validate the accuracy of claims submitted to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. If these audits identify overpayments, we could be required to make substantial repayments subject to various administrative appeal rights. Several of our facilities have undergone claims audits related to its respective receipt of federal healthcare payments during the last several years with no material overpayments identified. However, potential liability from future federal or state audits could ultimately exceed established reserves, and any excess could potentially be substantial. Further, Medicare and Medicaid regulations also provide for withholding Medicare and Medicaid overpayments in certain circumstances, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

Anti-Kickback Legislation

A provision of the Social Security Act known as the “anti-kickback statute” prohibits healthcare providers and others from directly or indirectly soliciting, receiving, offering or paying money or other remuneration to other individuals and entities in return for using, referring, ordering, recommending or arranging for such referrals or orders of services or other items covered by a federal or state health care program. However, recent changes to the anti-kickback statute have reduced the intent required for violation. One is no longer required to “have actual knowledge or specific intent to commit a violation of” the anti-kickback statute in order to be found guilty of violating such law.

 

100


The anti-kickback statute contains certain exceptions, and the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services has issued regulations that provide for “safe harbors,” from the federal anti-kickback statute for various activities. The fact that conduct or a business arrangement does not fall within a safe harbor or exception does not automatically render the conduct or business arrangement illegal under the anti-kickback statute. However, such conduct and business arrangements may lead to increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities.

Although we believe that our arrangements with physicians, psychiatrists and other referral sources have been structured to comply with current law and available interpretations, there can be no assurance that all arrangements comply with an available safe harbor or that regulatory authorities enforcing these laws will determine these financial arrangements do not violate the anti-kickback statute or other applicable laws. Violations of the anti-kickback statute may be punished by a criminal fine. Civil money penalties may also be imposed.

These laws and regulations are extremely complex and, in many cases, we do not have the benefit of regulatory or judicial interpretation. It is possible that different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and regulations could subject our current or past practices (or those of Acadia, YFCS or PHC) to allegations of impropriety or illegality or could require us to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel, services, capital expenditure programs and operating expenses. A determination that we have violated one or more of these laws, or the public announcement that we are being investigated for possible violations of one or more of these laws, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we cannot predict whether other legislation or regulations at the federal or state level will be adopted, what form such legislation or regulations may take or what their impact on us may be.

If we are deemed to have failed to comply with the anti-kickback statute or other applicable laws and regulations, we could be subjected to liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil penalties (including the loss of our licenses to operate one or more facilities), and exclusion of one or more facilities from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state health care programs. The imposition of such penalties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Federal False Claims Act and Other Fraud and Abuse Provisions

The Social Security Act also imposes criminal and civil penalties for submitting false claims to Medicare and Medicaid. False claims include, but are not limited to, billing for services not rendered, billing for services without prescribed documentation, misrepresenting actual services rendered in order to obtain higher reimbursement and cost report fraud. Like the anti-kickback statute, these provisions are very broad.

Violations of the Federal False Claims Act are punishable by fines up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties. There are many potential bases for liability under the False Claims Act. Liability often arises when an entity knowingly submits a false claim for reimbursement to the federal government. The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act has expanded the number of actions for which liability may attach under the False Claims Act, eliminating requirements that false claims be presented to federal officials or directly involve federal funds. The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act also clarifies that a false claim violation occurs upon the knowing retention, as well as the receipt, of overpayments. In addition, recent changes to the anti-kickback statute have made violations of that law punishable under the civil False Claims Act. Further, a number of states have adopted their own false claims provisions as well as their own whistleblower provisions whereby a private party may file a civil lawsuit on behalf of the state in state court.

A current trend affecting the health care industry is the increased use of the federal False Claims Act, and, in particular, actions being brought by individuals on the government’s behalf under the False Claims Act’s qui tam, or whistleblower, provisions. Whistleblower provisions allow private individuals to bring actions on behalf of the government by alleging that the defendant has defrauded the Federal government.

 

101


Further, HIPAA broadened the scope of the fraud and abuse laws by adding several criminal provisions for health care fraud offenses that apply to all health benefit programs, whether or not payments under such programs are paid pursuant to federal programs. HIPAA also introduced enforcement mechanisms to prevent fraud and abuse in Medicare. There are civil penalties for prohibited conduct, including, but not limited to billing for medically unnecessary products or services.

HIPAA Administrative Simplification and Privacy Requirements

The administrative simplification provisions of HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), require the use of uniform electronic data transmission standards for health care claims and payment transactions submitted or received electronically. These provisions are intended to encourage electronic commerce in the health care industry. HIPAA also established federal rules protecting the privacy and security of personal health information. The privacy and security regulations address the use and disclosure of individual health care information and the rights of patients to understand and control how such information is used and disclosed. Violations of HIPAA can result in both criminal and civil fines and penalties.

The HIPAA security regulations require health care providers to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of patient information. HITECH has since strengthened certain HIPAA rules regarding the use and disclosure of protected health information, extended certain HIPAA provisions to business associates, and created new security breach notification requirements. HITECH has also increased maximum penalties for violations of HIPAA privacy rules. We believe that we have been in material compliance with the HIPAA regulations and continuously develop our policies and procedures to ensure ongoing compliance.

Mental Health Parity Legislation

The MHPAEA was signed into law in October 2008. The MHPAEA requires health insurance plans that offer mental health and addiction coverage to provide that coverage on par with financial and treatment coverage offered for other illnesses. In addition, the law applies to Medicaid managed care plans, state Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) and group health plans that do not already cover mental health and substance abuse benefits. The MHPAEA has some limitations because health plans that do not already cover mental health treatments will not be required to do so, and health plans are not required to provide coverage for every mental health condition published in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders by the American Psychiatric Association. The MHPAEA also contains a cost exemption which operates to exempt a group health plan from the MHPAEA’s requirements if compliance with the MHPAEA becomes too costly.

The MHPAEA specifically directed the Secretaries of Labor, Health and Human Services and the Treasury to issue regulations to implement the legislation. Although regulations regarding how the MHPAEA was to be implemented were issued on February 2, 2010 in the form of an interim final rule, final regulations have not yet been published and interpretative guidance from the regulators has been limited to date.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Reform Law”), expands coverage of uninsured individuals and provides for significant reductions in the growth of Medicare program payments, material decreases in Medicare and Medicaid disproportionate share hospital payments, and the establishment of programs where reimbursement is tied in part to quality and integration. Based on Congressional Budget Office estimates, the Health Reform Law, as enacted, is expected to expand health insurance coverage to approximately 32 to 34 million additional individuals through a combination of public program expansion and private sector health insurance reforms. This increased coverage will occur through a combination of public program expansion and private sector health insurance and other reforms.

 

102


The most significant changes will expand the categories of individuals eligible for Medicaid coverage and permit individuals with relatively higher incomes to qualify. The federal government reimburses the majority of a state’s Medicaid expenses, and it conditions its payment on the state meeting certain requirements. The federal government currently requires that states provide coverage for only limited categories of low-income adults under 65 years old (e.g., women who are pregnant, and the blind or disabled). In addition, the income level required for individuals and families to qualify for Medicaid varies widely from state to state.

Federal Medical Assistance Percentages

As Medicaid is a joint federal and state program, the federal government provides states with “matching funds” in a defined percentage, known as the federal medical assistance percentage (“FMAP”). Beginning in 2014, states will receive an enhanced FMAP for the individuals enrolled in Medicaid pursuant to the Health Reform Law. The FMAP percentage is as follows: 100% for calendar years 2014 through 2016; 95% for 2017; 94% in 2018; 93% in 2019; and 90% in 2020 and thereafter. We do not expect the enhanced FMAP funds paid to states beginning in 2014 to have a meaningful impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Risk Management and Insurance

The healthcare industry in general continues to experience an increase in the frequency and severity of litigation and claims. As is typical in the healthcare industry, we could be subject to claims that our services have resulted in injury to our patients or clients or other adverse effects. In addition, resident, visitor and employee injuries could also subject us to the risk of litigation. While we believe that quality care is provided to patients and clients in our facilities and that we materially comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, an adverse determination in a legal proceeding or government investigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Prior to July 1, 2009, Acadia maintained commercial insurance coverage on an occurrence basis for workers’ compensation claims with no deductible. Effective July 1, 2009, Acadia maintains commercial insurance coverage on an occurrence basis with a $250,000 deductible per claim and a $1 million per claim limit. We maintain commercial insurance coverage on a claims-made basis for general and professional liability claims with a $50,000 deductible and $1 million per claim limit and an aggregate limit of $3 million with excess umbrella coverage for an additional $7 million.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws that (i) regulate certain activities and operations that may have environmental or health and safety effects, such as the handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of medical waste products generated at our facilities; the identification and warning of the presence of asbestos-containing materials in buildings, as well as the removal of such materials; the presence of other hazardous substances in the indoor environment; and protection of the environment and natural resources in connection with the development or construction of our facilities; (ii) impose liability for costs of cleaning up, and damages to natural resources from, past spills, waste disposals on and off-site, or other releases of hazardous materials or regulated substances; and (iii) regulate workplace safety. Some of our facilities generate infectious or other hazardous medical waste due to the illness or physical condition of our patients. The management of infectious medical waste is subject to regulation under various federal, state and local environmental laws, which establish management requirements for such waste. These requirements include record-keeping, notice and reporting obligations. Each of our facilities (other than our call centers) has an agreement with a waste management company for the disposal of medical waste. The use of such companies, however, does not completely protect us from alleged violations of medical waste laws or from related third-party claims for clean-up costs.

 

103


From time to time, our operations have resulted in, or may result in, non-compliance with, or liability pursuant to, environmental or health and safety laws or regulations. We believe that our operations are generally in compliance with environmental and health and safety regulatory requirements or that any non-compliance will not result in a material liability or cost to achieve compliance. Historically, the costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws and regulations have not been material. However, we cannot assure you that future costs and expenses required for us to comply with any new or changes in existing environmental and health and safety laws and regulations or new or discovered environmental conditions will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have not been notified of and are otherwise currently not aware of any contamination at our currently or formerly operated facilities for which we could be liable under environmental laws or regulations for the investigation and remediation of such contamination and we currently are not undertaking any remediation or investigation activities in connection with any contamination conditions. There may however be environmental conditions currently unknown to us relating to our prior, existing or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities we may have assumed or acquired which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

New laws, regulations or policies or changes in existing laws, regulations or policies or their enforcement, future spills or accidents or the discovery of currently unknown conditions or non-compliances may give rise to investigation and remediation liabilities, compliance costs, fines and penalties, or liability and claims for alleged personal injury or property damage due to substances or materials used in our operations; any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.

Competition

The healthcare industry is highly competitive. Our principal competitors include other behavioral health service companies, including UHS, Aurora and Ascend. We also compete against hospitals and general health care facilities that provide mental health services. An important part of our business strategy is to continue to make targeted acquisitions of other behavioral health facilities. However, reduced capacity, the passage of mental health parity legislation and increased demand for mental health services are likely to attract other potential buyers, including diversified healthcare companies and possibly other pure behavioral healthcare companies.

In addition to the competition we face for acquisitions, we must also compete for patients. Patients are referred to our behavioral health facilities through a number of different sources, including healthcare practitioners, public programs, other treatment facilities, managed care organizations, unions, emergency departments, judicial officials, social workers, police departments and word of mouth from previously treated patients and their families, among others. These referral sources may instead refer patients to hospitals that are able to provide a full suite of medical services or to other behavioral health centers.

Employees

As of November 1, 2011, we had approximately 5,800 employees, of whom approximately 4,700 were employed full-time. Approximately 3,700 of our employees (approximately 3,300 full-time employees) are employed by the facilities acquired by us in connection with our acquisition of YFCS in April 2011, and approximately 1,000 of our employees (approximately 500 full-time employees) are employed by the facilities acquired by us in the Merger (including employees of MeadowWood) on November 1, 2011.

Typically, our inpatient facilities are staffed by a chief executive officer, medical director, director of nursing, chief financial officer, clinical director and director of performance improvement. Psychiatrists and other physicians working in our facilities are licensed medical professionals who are generally not employed by us and work in our facilities as independent contractors.

 

104


Seasonality of Services

Due to the large number of children and adolescent patients served, our inpatient behavioral health care facilities typically experience lower patient volumes and revenue during the summer months, the year-end holidays and other periods when school is out of session.

Legal Proceedings

On June 2, 2011, a putative stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in Massachusetts state court, MAZ Partners LP v. Bruce A. Shear, et al., C.A. No. 11-1041, against PHC, the members of the PHC board of directors, and Acadia and Merger Sub. The MAZ Partners complaint asserts that the members of the PHC board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by causing PHC to enter into the Merger Agreement and further asserts that Acadia and Merger Sub aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. Specifically, the MAZ Partners complaint alleged that the process by which the Merger Agreement was entered into was unfair and that the agreement itself is unfair in that, according to the plaintiff, the compensation to be paid to PHC Class A shareholders is inadequate, particularly in light of the proposed cash payment to be paid to Class B shareholders and the anticipated pre-closing payment of a cash dividend to Acadia shareholders, and the anticipated level of debt to be held by the combined entity. The complaint sought, among other relief, an order enjoining the consummation of the Merger and rescinding the Merger Agreement.

On June 13, 2011, a second lawsuit was filed in federal district court in Massachusetts, Blakeslee v. PHC, Inc., et al., No. 11-cv-11049, making essentially the same allegations against the same defendants. On June 21, 2011, PHC removed the MAZ Partners case to federal court (11-cv-11099). On July 7, 2011, the parties to the MAZ Partners case moved to consolidate that action with the Blakeslee case and asked the court to approve a schedule for discovery and a potential hearing on plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction.

On August 11, 2011, the plaintiffs in the MAZ Partners case filed an amended class action complaint. Like the original complaint, the amended complaint asserts claims of breach of fiduciary duty against PHC, members of the board of directors of PHC, and claims of aiding and abetting those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty against Acadia and Merger Sub. The amended complaint alleges that both the merger process and the provisions of the Merger are unfair, that the directors and executive officers of PHC have conflicts of interests with regard to the Merger, that the cash dividend to be paid to Acadia shareholders is inappropriate, that a special committee or independent director should have been appointed to represent the interest of the Class A shareholders, that the merger consideration is grossly inadequate and the exchange ratio is unfair, and that the preliminary proxy filed by PHC contains material misstatements and omissions. The amended complaint also seeks, among other things, an order enjoining the consummation of the Merger and rescinding the Merger Agreement.

On August 15, 2011, PHC filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuits and a motion for a stay of discovery on the grounds that plaintiffs’ complaints stated claims that were derivative in nature and thus subject to dismissal for failure to make a pre-suit demand and a stay of discovery pursuant to a provision of Massachusetts state law providing for a stay of discovery in cases asserting derivative claims on behalf of a corporation. On August 19, 2011, Acadia also filed a motion to dismiss both cases. The court has not yet ruled on the pending motions to dismiss. On September 2, 2011, the court issued an order staying all discovery pending the filings of initial litigation disclosures and directing the parties to file initial disclosures by September 16, 2011. Following the filing of the initial disclosures, on September 22, 2011, MAZ Partners moved to compel both Acadia and PHC to provide additional information that would aid its request for a preliminary injunction and on October 6, 2011, Acadia and PHC filed their opposition to such motion.

On September 6, 2011, the plaintiff in the Blakeslee case filed an amended complaint making allegations substantially similar to those in the amended complaint filed by the MAZ Partners case and asserting claims for violations of Section 14(a) and Rule 14(a)-9 of the Exchange Act against the individual PHC defendants. Because the allegations of the amended complaint did not differ materially from the initial complaint, Acadia filed a renewed motion to dismiss the Blakeslee amended complaint on September 20, 2011.

 

105


On October 19, 2011, the federal court heard oral argument on the motion to consolidate, and the motions to dismiss, the MAZ Partners and Blakeslee cases. The court granted the motion to consolidate but did not rule on the motions to dismiss deciding to take the matter under advisement and issue a ruling at a later time.

We believe that these lawsuits are without merit and have defended, and will continue to defend, against them vigorously. Regardless of the disposition of the motions to dismiss, we do not anticipate the outcome to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

In addition to the litigation described above, from time to time, we are subject to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that we are currently party to any proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our executive officers or directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No interlocking relationships existed between the members of our board of directors and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company.

Controlled Company

We are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ACHC”. For purposes of the Nasdaq rules, we are a “controlled company.” “Controlled companies” under those rules are companies of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company. Waud Capital Partners controls approximately 78.3% of the voting power of our common stock and is able to elect a majority of our board of directors. As a result, we are considered a “controlled company” for the purposes of the Nasdaq listing requirements. As a “controlled company,” we are permitted to opt out, and have opted out, of the Nasdaq listing requirements that would otherwise require a majority of the members of our board of directors to be independent and require that we either establish a compensation committee and a nominating and governance committee, each comprised entirely of independent directors, or otherwise ensure that the compensation of our executive officers and nominees for directors are determined or recommended to our board by the independent members of our board.

Board of Directors Composition

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, with each director serving a three-year term and one class being elected at each year’s annual meeting of stockholders. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Grieco is “independent” as independence is defined in the Nasdaq and SEC rules. We intend to add an additional independent director within 90 days after the completion of the Merger and a third independent director no later than the first anniversary of the completion of the Merger. Messrs. Waud and Edwards and two (2) additional directors to be designated by Waud Capital Partners, will be in the class of directors whose initial terms expires at the 2012 annual meeting of the stockholders. Messrs. Mecklenburg, London and Grieco and one additional representative designated by Waud Capital Partners will be in the class of directors whose initial term expires at the 2013 annual meeting of the stockholders; provided that Mr. Grieco shall satisfy the applicable director independence requirements of Nasdaq or any other securities exchange on which Acadia’s securities may be listed (collectively, the “Director Independence Requirements”). Messrs. Jacobs, Shear, and Grieco and two directors designated by the other directors (the “Other Independent Directors”) shall be in the class of directors whose initial term expires at the 2014 annual meeting for stockholders; provided, that the Other Independent Directors shall satisfy the Director Independence Requirements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the compensation arrangements Acadia has with its named executive officers (“NEOs”) as required under the rules of the SEC (the “NEO’s). NEO’s include our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, regardless of compensation level, and our three most highly compensated executive officers during our last completed fiscal year, other than our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Our NEOs for fiscal year 2010 were:

 

NAME:

  

TITLE (FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010):

Trey Carter

   Chief Executive Officer

Danny Carpenter

   Chief Financial Officer

Karen Prince

   Chief Operating Officer

Robert Swinson

   Controller

Thomas Dodd

   Vice President, Clinical

In February 2011, Mr. Carter became a Co-President in connection with Mr. Jacobs’ becoming our Chief Executive Officer. The remaining members of our senior management, including Messrs. Jacobs, Fincher, Turner, Howard and Polson, were also hired in February of 2011. At the same time, Mr. Carpenter transitioned to the position of Vice President of Financial Operations, Western Division, Ms. Prince transitioned to the position of President, Eastern Region, Mr. Swinson became our Vice President of Financial Operations, Eastern Division and Mr. Dodd became our Vice President of Compliance/Clinical Services. Mr. Carter is the only NEO for fiscal year 2010 that remained an executive officer following the Merger.

Intended Objectives of Acadia’s Executive Compensation Program; Elements of Compensation

Prior to the Merger, we were a privately-held company and as a result, we were not subject to any stock exchange listing or SEC rules relating to the formation and functioning of board committees, including a compensation committee. For fiscal year 2010, our compensation decisions were made by Waud Capital Partners in conjunction with our board of directors. As we gain experience as a public company, we expect that the specific philosophy and components of our executive compensation program will continue to evolve. Accordingly, the compensation paid to our NEOs for fiscal year 2010 is not necessarily indicative of how we will compensate our NEOs going forward.

As a public company, our board of directors oversees the design and administration of our executive compensation program. Our objective is to have an executive compensation program that will attract and retain the best possible executive talent, to tie annual and long-term cash compensation to the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance goals and objectives and to align executives’ incentives with stockholder value creation.

Compensation for our NEOs has historically consisted of the following elements:

Base Salary

Base salary amounts historically have been highly individualized, resulting from arm’s length negotiations and have been based on a variety of factors, including an NEO’s experience level, anticipated duties and responsibilities, our financial condition and available resources, and our need for that particular position to be filled. Base salary has been subject to annual increase at the discretion of our board of directors.

 

111


Cash Bonuses

For fiscal year 2010, the cash bonus awards paid to our NEOs were based on satisfaction of certain company performance criteria (the “EBITDA Portion”) and individual performance criteria (the “Individual Portion”).

EBITDA Portion. No NEO was eligible to receive any portion of his or her targeted bonus for fiscal year 2010 unless we met or exceeded our EBITDA for the same period. “EBITDA” for purposes of calculating the EBITDA Portion of the annual bonus for each NEO, is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, as may be adjusted in the discretion of our board of directors for certain one-time or nonrecurring items.

The EBITDA Portion of each of our NEO’s bonus was tied to the Company’s EBITDA performance, as compared to base and stretch EBITDA targets. Each of our NEOs was eligible to receive the following range for the EBITDA Portion of his or her bonus for fiscal year 2010 (as a percentage of base salary): 32%-62% for Mr. Carter; 30%-60% for Mr. Carpenter; 30%-60% for Ms. Prince; 20%-50% for Mr. Swinson; and 20%-50% for Mr. Dodd. For fiscal year 2010, base target EBITDA was set at $7,045,000 and stretch target EBITDA was set at $9,000,000. Our actual adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2010 (which excludes transaction related expenses and non-budgeted director fees) was $9,677,000, resulting in the bonus for the EBITDA Portion being set at the high end of the range for each NEO (62% for Mr. Carter, 50% for Mr. Carpenter, 60% for Ms. Prince, 50% for Mr. Swinson and 50% for Mr. Dodd). The bonuses attributable to the EBITDA Portion paid to each NEO for fiscal year 2010 were as follows: $196,614 for Mr. Carter; $90,800 for Mr. Carpenter; $153,302 for Ms. Prince; $83,545 for Mr. Swinson; and $83,545 for Mr. Dodd.

Individual Portion. Mr. Carter was eligible to receive a bonus of up to 8% of his total annual base salary based upon the achievement of the following individual performance goals: (i) budgeted cash flow; (ii) acquisitions consistent with Acadia’s strategic plan; (iii) patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction surveys; and (iv) employee evaluation standards, with his Individual Portion weighted at up to 2% of his total annual base salary. Mr. Carter achieved each of his individual performance goals, resulting in a payment for the Individual Portion of his 2010 bonus equal to 8% of his base salary, or $25,397.

Mr. Carpenter was eligible to receive a bonus of up to 20% of his total annual base salary based upon achievement of the following individual performance goals: (i) financing for Acadia; (ii) cash collections; (iii) board reporting requirements; and (iv) budgeted controllable operating costs per equivalent patient day, with each individual performance goal weighted at up to 5% of his total annual base salary. Mr. Carpenter achieved each of his individual performance goals, resulting in a payment for the Individual Portion of his 2010 bonus equal to 20% of his base salary, or $36,320.

Ms. Prince was eligible to receive a bonus of up to 10% of her total annual base salary based upon achievement of the following individual performance goals: (i) bed expansion; (ii) company net revenue of $61.6 million; (iii) patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction surveys; and (iv) facility based EBITDA of $11.3 million, with each individual performance goal weighted at up to 2.5% of her total annual base salary. Ms. Prince achieved each of her individual performance goals, resulting in a payment for the Individual Portion of her 2010 bonus equal to 10% of her base salary, or $25,550.

Mr. Swinson was eligible to receive a bonus of up to 20% of his total annual base salary based upon achievement of the following individual performance goals: (i) bad debt; (ii) cash collection; (iii) acquisition integration; and (iv) cost per patient, with each individual performance goal weighted at up to 5% of his total annual base salary. Mr. Swinson achieved each of his individual performance goals, resulting in a payment for the Individual Portion of his 2010 bonus equal to 20% of his base salary, or $33,418.

Mr. Dodd was eligible to receive a bonus of up to 20% of his total annual base salary based upon achievement of the following individual performance goals: (i) patient satisfaction data collection; (ii) leadership

 

112


development; (iii) corporate compliance; and (iv) program development, with each individual performance goal weighted at up to 5% of his total annual base salary. Mr. Dodd achieved each of his individual performance goals, resulting in a payment for the Individual Portion of his 2010 bonus equal to 20% of his base salary, or $33,418.

Historical Equity Arrangements

Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC, our former sole stockholder (“Acadia Holdings”), sold shares of its Class A Common Units and Class A Preferred Units to certain executives, including our NEOs, in January 2010. Acadia Holdings also issued Class B Common Units and Class B Preferred Units to our NEOs and certain other executives that only vest upon certain qualified changes in control. Acadia Holdings reclassified all of its units into Class A Units and Class B Units in April 2011 in connection with a reclassification of its equity structure. Acadia Holdings also issued Class C Units and Class D Units to certain executives, including our NEOs, in connection with the reclassification. In connection with the Merger, Acadia Holdings, our former sole stockholder, distributed the shares of Acadia common stock that it owned to its members, including our NEOs, in accordance with their respective ownership interests in Acadia Holdings. Acadia Holdings was dissolved on November 23, 2011.

We entered into a stockholders agreement with Waud Capital Partners and certain other executives, including our NEOs, in connection with the Merger. The stockholders agreement contains certain transfer restrictions with respect to our common stock distributed to former members of Acadia Holdings in connection with the distribution from Acadia Holdings. See “Stockholders Agreement” for a description of the terms of these restrictions.

Long-Term Equity Incentives Following the Merger

As a private company, we have not historically made annual grants of equity. Waud Capital Partners and our board of directors believed that management’s ownership interests in us provided sufficient incentives with respect to our long-term growth and aligned management’s interests with those of our stockholders. However, going forward, equity compensation will be a component of our overall executive compensation program. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, our board of directors adopted the 2011 Incentive Plan (as defined below), which permits the granting of several types of equity-based compensation awards designed to provide our executive officers with incentives to help align those individuals’ interests with the interests of our stockholders. We have also granted to our board of directors (or its compensation committee) the authority to make periodic grants under the Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Incentive Plan”) to our executive officers based on the achievement of certain corporate and individual performance criteria, or otherwise in accordance with the 2011 Acadia Incentive Plan. See “—2011 Incentive Plan.”

Employment Agreements

2010 Employment Agreements. None of our NEOs for fiscal years 2010 had an employment agreement in fiscal year 2010.

2011 Employment Agreements. In 2011, Acadia Management entered into Employment Agreements with each of Messrs. Jacobs, Fincher, Turner, Howard, Polson and Carter. In anticipation of the Merger, Acadia entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Shear.

Pursuant to the terms of his Employment Agreement and in accordance with recent salary increases approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors, Mr. Jacobs currently receives annual base salary of $550,000. Each of Messrs. Carter, Fincher, Turner, Howard and Polson currently receives an annual base salary of $380,000.

 

113


The term of Mr. Shear’s Employment Agreement commenced immediately following the closing of the Merger. Mr. Shear’s Employment Agreement has a five year term, which shall automatically be extended for successive one-year terms, subject to non-renewal if either party gives the other 90 day’s prior written notice of termination. Mr. Shear’s annual base salary is $350,000.

The base salaries under the Employment Agreements for Messrs. Jacobs, Fincher, Turner, Howard, Polson and Carter are subject to an annual increase in the sole discretion of our board of directors. The Employment Agreement for Mr. Shear provides that his base salary shall be increased by at least 5% of the base salary for the prior year as of the first day of each calendar year in the term.

In addition to base salary, the senior executives under the Employment Agreements are entitled to participate, in their sole discretion, in all of our employee benefit programs for which senior executive officers are generally eligible. These benefits (for the former PSI executive officers) are in addition to any that the related executives may receive from PSI. The benefits to be provided to the executives under the Employment Agreement for Mr. Shear must be on terms at least as favorable as those received by Mr. Shear from PHC immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. Furthermore, during the term of such Employment Agreements, we are required to pay 100% of the monthly premiums or other costs associated with the related executive’s participation in such employee benefit programs and benefits. Mr. Shear is also permitted, under the terms of his Employment Agreement, to use the automobile we lease for him until the scheduled expiration of the lease and we are required to make all lease payments until the expiration of the lease.

Executives (other than Mr. Shear) are eligible to receive discretionary annual bonuses of up to 100% of such executive’s base salary and reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with services performed under each executive’s respective Employment Agreement. Mr. Shear is eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 60% of his base salary under his Employment Agreement. Achievement of the annual bonus is based upon the satisfaction of performance criteria established by our board of directors or its compensation committee or as set forth in Mr. Shear’s Employment Agreement.

Generally, if an executive officer party to an Employment Agreement is terminated without cause or resigns with good reason, such executive is entitled to receive (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions): (i) such executive’s base salary through the termination date; (ii) any bonus amounts under such executive’s Employment Agreement to which such executive is entitled determined by reference to the calendar that ended on or prior to the termination date; (iii) any unused and unpaid time off and sick pay accrued through the termination date and any incurred but unreimbursed business expenses as of the termination date; (iv) a prorated bonus amount for the calendar year in which the termination occurs; (v) certain bonus amounts, prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed in such year prior to the termination date; (vi) an amount equal to the cost of the premiums for continued health and dental insurance for the executive and/or his or her dependents in accordance with the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 for a specified period; (vii) a specified severance payment; and (viii) solely with respect to Mr. Shear, the continued use of his leased automobile until the scheduled termination of the lease and the continued payment by us of all related lease payments (collectively, the “Termination Payments”).

Cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreements) means the occurrence of one or more of the following with respect to the applicable executive: (i) the conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude or the conviction of any crime involving misappropriation, embezzlement or fraud with respect to Acadia or any of its subsidiaries or any of their customers, suppliers or other business relations, (ii) conduct outside the scope of such executive’s duties and responsibilities under his/her Employment Agreement that causes Acadia or any of its subsidiaries substantial public disgrace or disrepute or economic harm, (iii) repeated failure to perform duties consistent with such Employment Agreement as reasonably directed by our board of directors, (iv) any act or knowing omission aiding or abetting a competitor, supplier or customer of ours to our disadvantage or detriment, (v) breach of fiduciary duty, gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to us, (vi) an administrative or other proceeding results in the suspension or debarment of such

 

114


executive from participation in any contracts with, or programs of, the United States or any of the fifty states or any agency or department thereof, or (vii) any other material breach by such executive of his/her Employment Agreement or any other agreement between such executive and us, which is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of our board of directors within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to such executive.

Good Reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreements for executives other than Mr. Shear) means if the applicable executive resigns his/her employment with Acadia (a) as a result of one or more of the following actions (in each case taken without executive’s written consent): (i) a reduction in such executive’s base salary (other than as part of an across-the-board reduction that (A) results in a 10% or less reduction of such executive’s base salary as in effect on the date of any such reduction or (B) is approved by our Chief Executive Officer), (ii) a material diminution of such executive’s job duties or responsibilities inconsistent with executive’s position; (iii) any other material breach by us of such Employment Agreement; or (iv) a relocation of our principal executive offices and corporate headquarters outside of a thirty (30) mile radius of Nashville, Tennessee following relocation thereto in accordance with such Employment Agreement; provided that, none of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) shall constitute Good Reason unless such executive shall have notified us in writing describing the event which constitutes Good Reason within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event and then only if we shall have failed to cure such event within thirty (30) days after our receipt of such written notice and such executive elects to terminate his employment as a result at the end of such thirty (30) day period, or (b) for any reason within 180 days following a “Sale of the LLC” (as previously defined in the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement). The Merger did not constitute a Sale of the LLC. For Mr. Shear, “Good Reason” (as defined in his Employment Agreement) is defined as (A) a reduction in his base salary (other than as part of an across-the-board reduction that (1) results in a 10% or less reduction of such executive’s base salary as in effect on the date of any such reduction or (2) is approved by our Chief Executive Officer), (B) a material diminution of his job duties or responsibilities inconsistent with his position; (C) our failure to nominate Mr. Shear to serve on our board of directors; or (D) any other material breach by us of Mr. Shear’s Employment Agreement; provided that, none of the events described in clauses (A) through (D) shall constitute Good Reason unless such executive shall have notified us in writing describing the event which constitutes Good Reason within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event and then only if we shall have failed to cure such event within thirty (30) days after our receipt of such written notice and such executive elects to terminate his employment as a result at the end of such thirty (30) day period.

If an executive officer party to an Employment Agreement dies or becomes disabled, such executive is entitled to the applicable Termination Payments (other than the severance payment contemplated under clause (vii) of the definition thereof). In the event that a senior executive becomes disabled not due to death, such executive shall be entitled to receive continued installment payments of such executive’s base salary as in effect on the termination date for a specified period of time.

If we terminate an executive under an Employment Agreement for cause or if any such executive resigns without good reason, such executive will only be entitled to receive his or her unpaid base salary through the termination date and any bonus amount to which such executive is entitled by reference to the calendar year that ended on or prior to the termination date.

During the term of the Employment Agreement for each executive officer (other than Mr. Shear) and for one year thereafter (or 24 months thereafter in the case of Mr. Jacobs), each such executive is prohibited from (i) directly or indirectly managing, controlling, consulting, rendering services for or participating, engaging or owning an interest in any business which derives 25% of its gross revenue from the business of providing behavioral healthcare and/or related services and (ii) directly or indirectly managing, controlling, rendering services for or participating or consulting with any unit, division, segment or subsidiary of any other business that engages in or otherwise competes with (or was organized for the purpose of engaging in or competing with) the business of providing behavioral healthcare and/or related services, subject to certain exceptions. Each such executive is prohibited from directly or indirectly soliciting or hiring any employee or independent contractor of ours or directly or indirectly soliciting any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of ours

 

115


during the employment period and for 12 months thereafter. The non-compete provisions to which Mr. Shear is subject under his Employment Agreement shall terminate on the lesser of (i) 24 months and (ii) the number of months remaining until the expiration of his employment term (but in no event less than 12 months), calculated from the date of his termination of service. In addition, the executive officers party to an Employment Agreement are subject to customary confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations both during and following their employment with Acadia.

Bonus Agreements

We entered into a bonus agreement with Mr. Carter on January 4, 2010, pursuant to which Mr. Carter will be entitled to receive a one-time cash bonus payment of $40,000 subject to satisfaction of the following conditions in the 2011 fiscal year: (i) the absence of a “change of control” (as defined in the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement); (ii) continuous employment with Acadia Management from January 4, 2010 until the date on which such bonus is paid; and (iii) Acadia’s achievement of certain EBITDA targets as set forth therein. The Merger did not constitute a change of control under the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement.

Mr. Carter has not yet received any payments under this bonus agreement and will not be entitled to receive any such payments until 2012, subject to satisfaction of the aforementioned conditions.

2011 Incentive Plan

In connection with the Merger, we adopted the Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Incentive Plan”). The 2011 Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and other cash-based. Directors, officers and other employees of us and our subsidiaries, as well as other persons performing consulting or advisory services for us, are eligible for grants under the 2011 Incentive Plan. The purpose of the 2011 Incentive Plan is to provide incentives that will attract, retain and motivate high performing officers, directors, employees and consultants by providing them a proprietary interest in our long-term success or compensation based on their performance in fulfilling their responsibilities to our company. Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of the 2011 Incentive Plan. For further information about the 2011 Incentive Plan, we refer you to the complete copy of the 2011 Incentive Plan, filed as an exhibit to the registration statement.

Administration. The 2011 Incentive Plan is administered by a committee designated by our board of directors. Among the committee’s powers is to determine the form, amount and other terms and conditions of awards; clarify, construe or resolve any ambiguity in any provision of the 2011 Incentive Plan or any award agreement; amend the terms of outstanding awards; and adopt such rules, forms, instruments and guidelines for administering the 2011 Incentive Plan as it deems necessary or proper. The committee has full authority to administer and interpret the 2011 Incentive Plan, to grant discretionary awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan, to determine the persons to whom awards will be granted, to determine the types of awards to be granted, to determine the terms and conditions of each award, to determine the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award, to make all other determinations in connection with the 2011 Incentive Plan and the awards thereunder as the committee deems necessary or desirable and to delegate authority under the 2011 Incentive Plan to our executive officers.

Available Shares. The aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be issued or used for reference purposes under the 2011 Incentive Plan or with respect to which awards may be granted may not exceed 2,700,000 shares. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Incentive Plan may be subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganization, stock split, merger or similar change in the corporate structure or the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. In the event of any of these occurrences, we may make any adjustments we consider appropriate to, among other things, the number and kind of shares, options or other property available for issuance under the plan or covered by grants previously made under the plan. The shares available for issuance under the plan may be, in whole or in part, either authorized and unissued

 

116


shares of our common stock or shares of common stock held in or acquired for our treasury. In general, if awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan are for any reason cancelled, or expire or terminate unexercised, the shares covered by such awards may again be available for the grant of awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan.

Eligibility for Participation. Members of our board of directors, as well as employees of, and consultants to, us or any of our subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan.

Award Agreement. Awards granted under the 2011 Incentive Plan will be evidenced by award agreements, which need not be identical, that provide additional terms, conditions, restrictions or limitations covering the grant of the award, including, without limitation, additional terms providing for the acceleration of exercisability or vesting of awards in the event of a change of control or conditions regarding the participant’s employment, as determined by the committee.

Stock Options. The committee may grant nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock only to eligible employees. The committee will determine the number of shares of our common stock subject to each option, the term of each option, which may not exceed ten years, or five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder, the exercise price, the vesting schedule, if any, and the other material terms of each option. No incentive stock option or nonqualified stock option may have an exercise price less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock at the time of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% or greater stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value. Options will be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the committee at grant and the exercisability of such options may be accelerated by the committee.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The committee may grant stock appreciation rights, or “SARs,” either with a stock option, which may be exercised only at such times and to the extent the related option is exercisable, or “Tandem SAR,” or independent of a stock option, or “Non-Tandem SAR.” A SAR is a right to receive a payment in shares of our common stock or cash, as determined by the committee, equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of one share of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price per share established in connection with the grant of the SAR. The term of each SAR may not exceed ten years. The exercise price per share covered by an SAR will be the exercise price per share of the related option in the case of a Tandem SAR and will be the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant in the case of a Non-Tandem SAR. The committee may also grant limited SARs, either as Tandem SARs or Non-Tandem SARs, which may become exercisable only upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the 2011 Incentive Plan, or such other event as the committee may designate at the time of grant or thereafter.

Restricted Stock. The committee may award shares of restricted stock. Except as otherwise provided by the committee upon the award of restricted stock, the recipient generally will have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares, including the right to receive dividends, the right to vote the shares of restricted stock and, conditioned upon full vesting of shares of restricted stock, the right to tender such shares, subject to the conditions and restrictions generally applicable to restricted stock or specifically set forth in the recipient’s restricted stock agreement. The committee may determine at the time of award that the payment of dividends, if any, will be deferred until the expiration of the applicable restriction period. Recipients of restricted stock will be required to enter into a restricted stock agreement with us that states the restrictions to which the shares are subject, which may include satisfaction of pre-established performance goals, and the criteria or date or dates on which such restrictions will lapse. If the grant of restricted stock or the lapse of the relevant restrictions is based on the attainment of performance goals, the committee will establish for each recipient the applicable performance goals, formulae or standards and the applicable vesting percentages with reference to the attainment of such goals or satisfaction of such formulae or standards while the outcome of the performance goals are substantially uncertain. Such performance goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding, or adjusting for, changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions, including, without limitation, dispositions and

 

117


acquisitions, and other similar events or circumstances. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code requires that performance awards be based upon objective performance measures. The performance goals for performance-based restricted stock will be based on one or more of the objective criteria set forth on Exhibit A to the 2011 Incentive Plan and are discussed in general below.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The committee may, subject to limitations under applicable law, make a grant of such other stock-based awards, including, without limitation, performance units, dividend equivalent units, stock equivalent units, restricted stock and deferred stock units under the 2011 Incentive Plan that are payable in cash or denominated or payable in or valued by shares of our common stock or factors that influence the value of such shares. The committee may determine the terms and conditions of any such other awards, which may include the achievement of certain minimum performance goals for purposes of compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code and a minimum vesting period. The performance goals for performance-based other stock-based awards will be based on one or more of the objective criteria set forth on Exhibit A to the 2011 Incentive Plan and discussed in general below.

Other Cash-Based Awards. The committee may grant awards payable in cash. Cash-based awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the committee shall determine, including, without limitation, being subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions or awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to restrictions or conditions. If a cash-based award is subject to vesting conditions, the committee may accelerate the vesting of such award in its discretion.

Performance Awards. The committee may grant a performance award to a participant payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals. The committee may grant performance awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code as well as performance awards that are not intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the performance award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant performance goals either in cash or in shares of restricted stock, based on the then current fair market value of such shares, as determined by the committee. Based on service, performance or other factors or criteria, the committee may, at or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any performance award.

Performance Goals. The committee may grant awards of restricted stock, performance awards, and other stock-based awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. These awards may be granted, vest and be paid based on attainment of specified performance goals established by the committee. These performance goals may be based on the attainment of a certain target level of, or a specified increase or decrease in, one or more of the following measures selected by the committee: (1) earnings per share; (2) operating income; (3) gross income; (4) net income, before or after taxes; (5) cash flow; (6) gross profit; (7) gross profit return on investment; (8) gross margin return on investment; (9) gross margin; (10) operating margin; (11) working capital; (12) earnings before interest and taxes; (13) earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization; (14) return on equity; (15) return on assets; (16) return on capital; (17) return on invested capital; (18) net revenues; (19) gross revenues; (20) revenue growth, as to either gross or net revenues; (21) annual recurring net or gross revenues; (22) recurring net or gross revenues; (23) license revenues; (24) sales or market share; (25) total shareholder return; (26) economic value added; (27) specified objectives with regard to limiting the level of increase in all or a portion of our bank debt or other long-term or short-term public or private debt or other similar financial obligations, which may be calculated net of cash balances and other offsets and adjustments as may be established by the committee; (28) the fair market value of the a share of common stock; (29) the growth in the value of an investment in the common stock assuming the reinvestment of dividends; (30) reduction in operating expenses or (31) other objective criteria determined by the committee.

To the extent permitted by law, the committee may also exclude the impact of an event or occurrence which the committee determines should be appropriately excluded, such as (1) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items and other unusual or non-recurring charges; (2) an event either not directly

 

118


related to our operations or not within the reasonable control of management; or (3) a change in accounting standards required by generally accepted accounting principles. Performance goals may also be based on an individual participant’s performance goals, as determined by the committee. In addition, all performance goals may be based upon the attainment of specified levels of our performance, or the performance of a subsidiary, division or other operational unit, under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of other corporations. The committee may designate additional business criteria on which the performance goals may be based or adjust, modify or amend those criteria.

Change in Control. In connection with a change in control, as defined in the 2011 Incentive Plan, the committee may accelerate vesting of outstanding awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan. In addition, such awards may be, in the discretion of the committee, (1) assumed and continued or substituted in accordance with applicable law; (2) purchased by us for an amount equal to the excess of the price of a share of our common stock paid in a change in control over the exercise price of the awards; or (3) cancelled if the price of a share of our common stock paid in a change in control is less than the exercise price of the award. The committee may also provide for accelerated vesting or lapse of restrictions of an award at any time.

Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to an award of restricted stock, a participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of our common stock covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such shares.

Amendment and Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2011 Incentive Plan, our board of directors may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan, or suspend or terminate it entirely, retroactively or otherwise; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided in the 2011 Incentive Plan, the rights of a participant with respect to awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination may not be adversely affected without the consent of such participant.

Transferability. Awards granted under the 2011 Incentive Plan generally are nontransferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except that the committee may provide for the transferability of nonqualified stock options at the time of grant or thereafter to certain family members.

Recoupment of Awards. The 2011 Incentive Plan provides that awards granted under the 2011 Incentive Plan are subject to any recoupment policy adopted regarding the clawback of “incentive-based compensation” under the Exchange Act or under any applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.

Effective Date. The 2011 Incentive Plan was adopted by the Acadia board of directors on September 7, 2011 and will become effective upon the consummation of the Merger.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock following the Merger by:

 

   

each person or group who owns beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock;

 

   

each person who is an executive officer;

 

   

each person who is a director; and

 

   

all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

The percentages below are based upon an estimated 22,608,604 shares of Acadia common stock outstanding as of November 23, 2011.

Messrs. Shear and Grieco are the only executive officers or directors who hold options. Their ownership includes any options exercisable within 60 days of November 16, 2011. These options are treated as beneficially owned by Mr. Shear or Mr. Grieco, as applicable, for purposes of computing his beneficial ownership below. Mr. Grieco and Mr. Shear’s options are not treated as outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons listed below would have had sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law. In preparing the following table, we have relied on the information furnished by the persons listed below.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Professional Services Agreement

Acadia and Waud Capital Partners were parties to a professional services agreement dated April 1, 2011, pursuant to which Waud Capital Partners rendered general advisory and management services with respect to financial and operating matters, including advice on corporate strategy, budgeting of future corporate investment, acquisition and divestiture strategy and debt and equity financing. Waud Capital Partners and Acadia terminated the professional services agreement in connection with consummation of the Merger and payment of $20,559,000 in aggregate transaction fees to Waud Capital Partners pursuant to the terms of the related termination agreement. Under the Merger Agreement, $15,559,000 of such transaction fees were subtracted from the $90.0 million dividend made by Acadia to holders of Acadia capital stock immediately prior to consummation of the Merger.

The parties entered into the professional services agreement in connection with entering into the second amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Acadia Holdings on April 1, 2011 (the “Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement”), which amended and restated Acadia Holdings’ prior limited liability company agreement dated August 31, 2009 (the “Prior LLC Agreement”).

Pursuant to the professional services agreement, Acadia was obligated to pay the following fees to Waud Capital Partners: (i) upon consummation of any credit facility (including any amendments to existing credit facilities which have the effect of increasing the committed amount under such facility, but excluding any credit facility entered into after April 1, 2011 with any affiliate of Waud Capital Partners if such affiliate is receiving a closing or similar fee in connection with such facility), financing fees in cash in an aggregate amount to equal 1.5% of the aggregate principal amount of all such loans (or 1.0% of the aggregate amount of all public bond issuances); (ii) advisory fees in connection with the negotiation and consummation of any acquisitions and/or dispositions by Acadia or any of its subsidiaries in an aggregate amount equal to 2.0% of the gross purchase price of any such acquisition or disposition (including any debt or other liabilities assumed or otherwise included in the transaction(s)), as compensation for the negotiation, arranging and structuring services Waud Capital Partners has agreed to provide Acadia with respect thereto; and (iii) upon consummation of a Sale of Acadia (as defined below), a sale fee in cash in an amount equal to 1.5% of the enterprise value assigned to Acadia Holdings and its subsidiaries in connection with or implied by such Sale of Acadia, as compensation for the negotiation, structuring and other services Waud Capital Partners has agreed to provide Acadia with respect to such Sale of Acadia. The Merger did not constitute a Sale of Acadia.

Under the professional services agreement, Waud Capital Partners charged Acadia a management fee for advisory and management services of $2.0 million per year. The fee for the period from and including April 1, 2011 to and including June 30, 2011 was paid on April 1, 2011. Thereafter, the advisory fee was payable on July 1st and January 1st of each year in advance.

The professional services agreement also provided for the reimbursement of Waud Capital Partners for its reasonable travel expenses, legal fees and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses in connection with activities undertaken pursuant to such agreement. Additionally, Waud Capital Partners and its affiliates (other than Acadia and its subsidiaries) were indemnified for liabilities incurred in connection with their role under the professional services agreement, other than for liabilities resulting from their gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.

In connection with entry into the professional services agreement, the amendment and restatement of the Prior LLC Agreement and the consummation of Acadia’s acquisition of YFCS, Waud Capital Partners received $6.15 million in fees from Acadia on April 1, 2011, which consisted of a $3.6 million transaction fee, a $450,000 commitment fee and a $2.1 million financing fee. As discussed above, Waud Capital Partners also received $20,559,000 in aggregate transaction fees in connection with consummation of the Merger and the termination of the professional services agreement.

 

126


Prior to entry into the professional services agreement, Waud Capital Partners was entitled to receive the following fees from Acadia Holdings pursuant to the Prior LLC Agreement: (i) an annual advisory fee, payable on a semi-annual basis, as compensation for the financial and management consulting services Waud Capital Partners had agreed to provide Acadia Holdings and its subsidiaries with respect to their business and financial management generally and its financial affairs; and (ii) upon consummation of any credit facility (including amendments to existing credit facilities which have the effect of increasing the amount to be drawn under such facility by Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries, but excluding any credit facility entered into after December 30, 2005 with any affiliate of Waud Capital Partners if such affiliate is receiving a closing or similar fee in connection with such facility) entered into by Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries after December 30, 2005, financing fees in an aggregate amount to equal 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all such loans (or 1.0% of the aggregate amount of all public bond issuances), as compensation for the negotiation, arranging and structuring services Waud Capital Partners had agreed to provide to Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries. Waud Capital Partners was also entitled to receive an annual advisory fee, payable semi-annually, under the Prior LLC Agreement (and its predecessor). Such fee was initially set at $350,000 per annum, subject to annual increases of $50,000, up to $600,000, effective January 1st of each year beginning January 1, 2007. Waud Capital Partners deferred the payment of all such management fees in accordance with the terms of the Prior LLC Agreement.

On April 1, 2011 in connection with entry into the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement, Waud Capital Partners received approximately $7.1 million of Acadia Holdings equity in exchange for fees it had previously deferred in accordance with the Prior LLC Agreement.

True Partners Engagement Agreement

Acadia and True Partners Consulting LLC (“True Partners”), an affiliate of Waud Capital Partners, are parties to an engagement agreement dated January 7, 2011, pursuant to which True Partners renders tax consulting and compliance services to Acadia and its affiliated entities. As of November 1, 2011, Waud Capital Partners and its affiliates indirectly owned a majority of the True Partners membership interests. The engagement agreement will automatically terminate upon the completion of the services to be rendered by True Partners thereunder. Either party may terminate the engagement agreement upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party. Upon such termination, True Partners shall be entitled to receive payment for services performed and expenses incurred through the date of termination. Pursuant to the engagement agreement, Acadia pays certain fixed fees to True Partners for various tax consulting and compliance services, which are billed monthly as incurred. Acadia paid $73,200, $116,365 and $62,065 to True Partners for such services in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. In the event of a large transaction or other activity not otherwise covered under the engagement agreement for which True Partners provide services to Acadia, True Partners will provide consulting services to Acadia at its standard hourly rates, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

Registration Rights Agreement

Acadia Holdings entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement with the holders of substantially all of its equity securities pursuant to which such holders have the right to demand the registration of all or a portion of their securities and have certain piggy back registration rights, subject to certain limitations. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, Waud Capital Partners and the other members of Acadia Holdings caused the dissolution of Acadia Holdings and the distribution of the Acadia common stock held by Acadia Holdings to its members. In connection with such dissolution and distribution, Acadia assumed Acadia Holdings’ rights and obligations under the amended and restated registration rights agreement. In connection with the public offering of our common stock, which we announced on December 15, 2011, the parties to the amended and restated registration rights agreement have entered into lock up agreements with the underwriters pursuant to which such parties may not sell shares of Acadia common stock until 90 days after December 15, 2011, unless the underwriters waive such restrictions in accordance with the terms of the lock up agreements.

 

127


Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement

Prior to the dissolution of Acadia Holdings on November 23, 2011, the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement granted certain rights to the affiliates of Waud Capital Partners that are designated as the “WCP Investors” in the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement (the “WCP Holdings Investors”). For so long as any WCP Holdings Investor held any Class A Units of Acadia Holdings, the WCP Holdings Investors holding a majority of the Class A Units then held by all WCP Investors constituted the “Majority WCP Holdings Investors” under the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement. If no WCP Holdings Investor held any Class A Units of Acadia Holdings, the “Majority WCP Holdings Investors” (for purpose of the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement) constituted the WCP Holdings Investors holding a majority of the Class B, Class C and Class D Units of Acadia Holdings held by all WCP Holdings Investors.

The board of managers of Acadia Holdings consisted of five (5) managers, four of which were designated by the Majority WCP Holdings Investors (the “WCP Managers”). Except as provided in the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement and for cases in which the approval of the Acadia Holdings members was expressly provided by the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement or by non-waivable provisions of applicable law, the powers of Acadia Holders were exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of Acadia Holdings were managed, under the direction of its board of managers. Under the terms of the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement, each of WCP FIF III, Waud QP II, Waud QP III and WCP III were able to designate one WCP Manager; provided, that Reeve Waud was entitled to serve as one of the WCP Managers at all times. Unless otherwise specified in the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement or required by applicable law, any determination or action required taken by the board of managers was to be taken by a majority of the voting power of the managers then in office; provided that each WCP Manager was entitled to a number of votes on all matters which came before the board of managers in an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the number of WCP Managers which the WCP Holdings Investors were entitled to appoint under the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement by (ii) the number of WCP Managers serving on the board of managers as of such date.

The Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement granted certain drag along rights to the WCP Holdings Investors in connection with the following transactions (each a “Sale of Acadia”): (i) the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of Acadia; or (ii) a transaction (including by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization or sale of stock) the result of which the unitholders of Acadia Holdings immediately prior to such transaction are, after giving effect to such transaction, no longer in the aggregate “beneficial owners” (as such term is defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, of more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of Acadia Holdings. If the Majority WCP Holdings Investors approved a Sale of Acadia (an “Approved Sale”), each unitholder of Acadia Holdings and each person that retained voting control over any transferred units was obligated to, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, vote for, consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved Sale was structured as (A) a merger or consolidation, each unitholder was obligated to waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (B) a sale of units, each holder was obligated to take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as requested by Acadia Holdings’ board of managers (with the approval of the Majority WCP Holdings Investors) or the Majority WCP Holdings Investors. Furthermore, each Acadia Holdings unitholder was obligated, under the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement, to take necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as requested Acadia Holdings’ board of managers (with the approval of the Majority WCP Holdings Investors) or the Majority WCP Holdings Investors. The Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement also provided that each unitholder was obligated to vote for, consent to (to the extent it has any voting or consent right) and raise no objections against an initial public offering of Acadia Holdings or any of its subsidiaries approved by Acadia Holdings’ board of managers.

 

128


The Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement required that each “Management Investor” named therein bring, and cause each of its affiliates to bring, all investment or business opportunities to Acadia Holdings of which any of them became aware and which are within the scope and investment objectives of Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement excluded holders of Class A Units and Class B Units held by the WCP Holdings Investors and their affiliates from all such restrictions, subject only to confidentiality restrictions contained in such agreement.

Affiliate Transactions

In August 2009, January 2010 and January 2011, Acadia Holdings entered into management agreements, manager unit agreements, executive purchase agreements and/or executive unit agreements with certain executives and managers pursuant to which such executives or managers purchased or otherwise were issued units of Acadia Holdings.

In connection with the purchase of Class A Common Units and Class A Preferred Units of Acadia Holdings by Messrs. Carpenter, Carter, Dodd and Swinson and Ms. Karen Prince in January 2010, each named executive issued a promissory note to Acadia Holdings to satisfy its obligations to make a capital contribution to Acadia Holdings in accordance with the terms of the related management agreement. Each of Messrs. Carpenter, Carter, Dodd and Swinson and Ms. Prince issued a promissory note to Acadia Holdings on January 4, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $65,000, $120,000, $42,000, $42,000 and $96,000, respectively. Interest on each promissory note accrued at the lesser of 8.00% per annum and the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Default interest on each promissory note accrued at a rate per annum equal to the base rate (determined in accordance with the prior sentence) plus 3.00%. Amounts due under each promissory note were secured by certain Acadia Holdings units owned by the related executive as set forth in such promissory note and the related pledge agreement.

Each of Messrs. Carpenter, Carter, Dodd and Swinson and Ms. Prince repaid his or her promissory note in full on July 7, 2011 and the related pledge agreement was terminated effective as of such date.

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with consummation of the Merger, Acadia, certain members of Acadia management (the “Management Investors”) and Waud Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates entered into a stockholders agreement. Mr. Shear is not a party to this agreement. The following summary of the stockholders agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the stockholders agreement.

Management Rights. For so long as the WCP Investors retain voting control over at least 50% of our outstanding voting securities, the WCP Investors will have the right to designate seven (7) representatives to our board of directors, four (4) of which will be designated as Class I directors and three (3) of which will be designated as Class II directors. From and after the date on which the WCP Investors cease to have voting control over at least 50% of our outstanding voting securities and for so long as the WCP Investors hold at least 17.5% of our outstanding voting securities, the WCP Investors will have the right to designate at least such number of directors to our board of directors that, when compared to the authorized number of directors on our board of directors, is not less than proportional to the total number of Stockholder Shares (as defined below) over which the WCP Investors retain voting control relative to the total number of Stockholder Shares then issued and outstanding (with the number of representatives rounded up to the next whole number in all cases). From and after such time as the WCP Investors cease to hold at least 17.5% of our outstanding voting securities, the WCP Investors will have no right to designate any representative to our board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the stockholders agreement will provide that no reduction in the number of shares of our common stock and other of our and our subsidiaries’ equity securities over which the WCP Investors retain voting control will shorten the term of any incumbent director on our board of directors.

 

129


In accordance with the stockholders agreement, our board of directors appointed Messrs. Jacobs and Shear as Class III directors. Mr. Jacob’s appointment shall last as long as he continues to serve as our chief executive officer or the chief executive officer of any of our subsidiaries. Mr. Shear’s appointment will terminate after the expiration of the three-year term following his initial term.

Stockholder Shares” is defined as (i) any shares of our common stock or other of our or our subsidiaries’ equity securities from time to time purchased or otherwise acquired or held by any party to the stockholders agreement, (ii) any of our common stock or other of our or our subsidiaries’ equity securities from time to time issued or issuable directly or indirectly upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities purchased or otherwise acquired by any party to the stockholders agreement (excluding options to purchase our common stock granted by us unless and until such options are exercised), and (iii) any other capital stock or other of our or our subsidiaries’ other equity securities from time to time issued or issuable directly or indirectly with respect to the securities referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) above by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization.

Voting Agreement. Under the stockholders’ agreement, in the event the approval of our stockholders is required in connection with any election or removal of directors, merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, conversion, sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of our property or assets, authorization or issuance of capital stock or other securities (including the adoption of any equity incentive plan), executive compensation, stockholder proposal, amendment to or restatement of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or pursuant to any contractual agreement to which a Management Investor is a party or is bound, each Management Investor will vote all of his or her Stockholder Shares and any other voting securities over which such Management Investor has voting control, and will take all other necessary or desirable actions within his, her or its control so that all such Stockholder Shares and other of our voting securities are voted as directed by the WCP Investors holding a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock held by all WCP Investors as of such date (the “Majority WCP Investors”). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Management Investor has appointed Waud Capital Partners II, L.P. as such Management Investor’s true and lawful proxy and attorney-in fact, with full power and authority to vote such Management Investor’s Stockholder Shares and any other of our voting securities over which such Management Investor has voting control for the election and/or removal of directors (in accordance with the provisions described above in “—Management Rights”) and all such matters as described in this “—Voting Agreement” section. The stockholders agreement provides that the voting agreements and proxy described in this paragraph will terminate from and after such time as the WCP Investors cease to hold 17.5% of Acadia’s outstanding voting securities.

Transfer Restrictions. The stockholders agreement provides that no Management Investor may transfer any interest in any Stockholder Shares, except as described in the following sentence, without first obtaining the consent of the Majority WCP Investors; provided, that the Management Investors may transfer Stockholder Shares to their “Permitted Transferees” (as defined in the stockholders agreement) as long as the transferring Management Investor retains voting control over the transferred Stockholder Shares. The aforementioned restrictions on transfer do not apply to the following Stockholder Shares: (i) Stockholder Shares received as consideration in the Merger; (ii) Stockholder Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by any Management Investor after the effective time of the Merger (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Stockholder Shares received in the dissolution of Acadia Holdings); and (iii) a percentage of Stockholder Shares held by each Management Investor and designated as “Unrestricted Shares” in accordance with the terms of the stockholders agreement. The stockholders agreement defines “Unrestricted Shares”, with respect to any Management Investor, as the number of such Management Investor’s Subject Shares determined by multiplying (x) the total number of Subject Shares held by such Management Investor as of November 1, 2011 (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and the like), by (y) the result of 100% minus the WCP Liquidity Percentage; provided, that (i) from and November 1, 2014, no fewer than 33% of the Subject Shares held by such Management Investor as of November 1, 2011 shall be Unrestricted Shares, (ii) from and after November 1, 2015, no fewer than 67% of the Subject Shares held by such Management Investor as of November 1, 2011 shall be Unrestricted Shares, and (iii) from and after November 1, 2016, 100% of such

 

130


Management Investor’s Subject Shares shall be Unrestricted Shares. The stockholders agreement also defines “Subject Shares”, with respect to any Management Investor”, as all Stockholder Shares purchased or otherwise acquired or held by such Management Investor other than (A) any Stockholder Shares received by such Management Investor as consideration in the Merger, and (B) any Stockholder Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by such Management Investor after the effective time of the Merger (which, for purposes of clarity, shall not include any Stockholder Shares received by such Management Investor in connection with the dissolution of Acadia Holdings or otherwise in connection with the liquidation and dissolution of Acadia Holdings) and “WCP Liquidity Percentage” as the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the total number of Stockholder Shares constituting WCP Equity as of the date of determination, by (ii) the total number of Stockholder Shares constituting WCP Equity as of November 1, 2011 (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and the like). The stockholders agreement defines “WCP Equity” as (i) the common stock held by the WCP Investors on November 1, 2011 and any other Stockholder Shares from time to time issued to or otherwise acquired by the WCP Investors (other than pursuant to purchases made on the open market and not in connection with any private placement by us), and (ii) any securities issued with respect to the securities referred to in clause (i) by way of a stock split, stock dividend, or other division of securities, or in connection with a combination of securities, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization. As to any particular securities constituting WCP Equity, such securities shall cease to be WCP Equity when they have been (A) effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of for cash in accordance with the registration statement covering them, (B) purchased or otherwise acquired for cash by any person other than a WCP Investor, or (C) redeemed or repurchased for cash by us or any of our subsidiaries or any designee thereof. The Stockholder Shares not described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the prior sentence are referred to in the stockholders agreement as “Restricted Shares.”

Lock-Ups. The stockholders agreement provides that no Management Investor or other holder of Restricted Shares will take any of the following actions from the date we give notice to the Management Investors that a preliminary or final prospectus has been circulated for a public offering and during the 90 days following the date of the final prospectus for such public offering: (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our or our subsidiaries’ equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities; (ii) enter into any transaction which would have the same effect as described in clause (i); (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any of the securities described in clause (i); or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii). The foregoing restrictions do not apply to transactions made in the subject public offering and those to which the underwriters managing such public offering agree in writing. As used in this “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Stockholders Agreement” section, “public offering” refers to any offering by us of our or our subsidiaries’ capital stock or other equity securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or any comparable statement under any similar federal statute then in force.

Certain Covenants. Under the stockholders agreement, we are obligated, for so long as the WCP Investors continue to hold 17.5% of our outstanding voting securities, to deliver to the WCP Investors certain audited and unaudited financial statements, annual budgets and operating plans and other information and financial data concerning us and our subsidiaries as reasonably requested by the WCP Investors. We will also be obligated during such period to permit any representative designated by any WCP Investor, upon reasonable notice and execution of a customary confidentiality agreement, to visit and inspect any of our properties, to examine our and our subsidiaries’ corporate, financial and other records and to consult with our and our subsidiaries directors, officers, managers, key employees and independent accountants.

For so long as the WCP Investors continue to hold 17.5% of our outstanding voting securities, we are not permitted to take (or with respect to certain actions be permitted to cause our subsidiaries to take) any of the following actions, subject to certain limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Majority WCP Investors: (i) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; (ii) authorize, issue or enter into any agreement providing for the issuance of any debt or equity securities; (iii) make loans, advances, guarantees or

 

131


“Investments” (as defined in the stockholders agreement); (iv) engage in mergers or consolidations; (v) make or fail to make certain capital expenditures; (vi) sell, lease, license or dispose of any assets; (vii) liquidate, dissolve or wind up or effect a recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization; (viii) acquire any interest in any company or business; (ix) materially change our business activities; (x) enter into, amend, modify or supplement or waive any provisions of any agreement, transaction, commitment or arrangement with any affiliate; (xi) incur additional indebtedness exceeding $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time on a consolidated basis; or (xii) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or admit in writing its inability to pay our debts generally as they become due. Furthermore, so long as the WCP Investors continue to hold 17.5% of our outstanding voting securities we will (and will cause each of our subsidiaries to) take the following actions (subject to certain limited exceptions), unless we has received the prior written consent of the Majority WCP Investors: (A) maintain and keep our tangible assets in good repair, working order and condition; (B) maintain all material intellectual property rights necessary to the conduct of its business and maintain agreements providing for the confidentiality and protection of our intellectual property rights; (C) comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of all governmental entities; (D) cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to maintain, preserve and renew all licenses, permits and other approvals necessary for the conduct of our business and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (E) pay and discharge when payable all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon our properties or the income or profits therefrom; (F) use commercially reasonable efforts to continue in force adequate insurance; (G) maintain proper books of record and account which present fairly in all material respects our financial conditions and results of operations and make provisions on our financial statements for all proper reserves, each in accordance with GAAP.

Company Name. In accordance with the stockholders agreement, we filed “dba”s in New Castle County, Kent County and Sussex County in Delaware after consummation of the Merger. For a period of two years following the effective time of the Merger, we will file a “dba” in such other jurisdictions as we deem necessary to enable us to conduct business as “Pioneer Behavioral Health” and will conduct business under such name.

Employment Agreements

See “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Employment Agreements” for a discussion of our employment arrangements with certain of our executive officers.

Procedure for Approval of Transactions with Related Parties

Acadia has established policies and other procedures regarding approval of transactions between Acadia and any employee, officer, director, and certain of their family members and other related persons, including those required to be reported under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. These policies and procedures are generally not in writing, but are evidenced by principles set forth in our Code of Conduct or adhered to by our board of directors. As set forth in the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee reviews and approves all related-party transactions after reviewing such transaction for potential conflicts of interests and improprieties. Accordingly, all such related-party transactions are submitted to the Audit Committee for ongoing review and oversight. Generally speaking, we enter into related-party transactions only on terms that we believe are at least as favorable to our company as those that we could obtain from an unrelated third party.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

Senior Secured Credit Facility

To finance our acquisition of YFCS and refinance its then existing $10.0 million secured promissory note, we entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility on April 1, 2011. The Senior Secured Credit Facility, administered by Bank of America, N.A., includes $135.0 million of term loans and a revolving credit facility of $30.0 million. Of the $30.0 million available under the revolving portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, $10.0 million was borrowed on April 1, 2011 and $20.0 million was available for further borrowings. The term loans require quarterly principal payments of $1.7 million for June 30, 2011 to March 31, 2013, $3.4 million for June 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014, $4.2 million for June 30, 2014 to March 31, 2015, and $5.1 million for June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015, with the remaining principal balance due on the maturity date of April 1, 2016. As of September 30, 2011, we had $23.1 million of availability under our revolving line of credit. On September 30, 2011 we issued a $0.4 million letter of credit under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which reduces availability under the revolving credit facility.

In connection with the Merger, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, dated July 12, 2011. The Second Amendment permits us to incur indebtedness pursuant to the notes and/or a bridge facility so long as certain conditions regarding such indebtedness are satisfied. See “Acadia Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

The Second Amendment provides for a change in the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility based upon our consolidated leverage ratio (defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility). Interest rates and the commitment fee on unused commitments will be based upon the following grid:

In accordance with the Second Amendment, the applicable rate for Eurodollar rate loans and base rate loans will be 4.50% and 3.50%, respectively, from November 1, 2011 through the date of delivery of a compliance certificate for the first fiscal quarter ending after November 1, 2011.

On December 15, 2011, we entered into a third amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment allows any single affiliate of ours to hold up to 5% of the notes and all of our affiliates to hold up to 15% of the notes at any time. In addition, the Third Amendment provides for the following, with the effectiveness of each of the below provisions conditioned on our receipt of $59.3 million of net cash proceeds from a public offering by us of our common stock.

 

   

We will be permitted to use up to $59.3 million of the net cash proceeds from our equity offering to prepay a portion of the notes within 120 days of our receipt of such net cash proceeds.

   

The Third Amendment also provides that if at least 80% of the aggregate cash and non-cash consideration for any Permitted Acquisition (as defined in the agreement governing the Senior

 

133


 

Secured Credit Facility) is financed with the net cash proceeds from an equity issuance, then any indebtedness incurred or assumed in connection with such Permitted Acquisition will not be included in the $25 million annual debt incurrence cap with respect to Permitted Acquisitions.

 

   

The consolidated leverage ratio will be amended such that it may not be greater than the amount set forth below as of the date opposite such ratio:

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (the “Company”) issued the Outstanding Notes under an indenture among the Company, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, and the Guarantors. The Exchange Notes are to be issued under the same indenture pursuant to which the Outstanding Notes were issued. The terms of the Exchange Notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”).

The Outstanding Notes were originally issued in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 in a private transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The form and terms of the Exchange Notes are the same as the form and terms of the Outstanding Notes except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act. As a result, the Exchange Notes will not bear legends restricting their transfer and will not contain the registration rights and Additional Interest provisions of the Outstanding Notes. The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Outstanding Notes.

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture. It does not restate such agreement in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the Exchange Notes. Copies of the indenture are available as set forth below under the caption “—Additional Information.” Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under the caption “—Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture. References in this “Description of the Exchange Notes” to the “notes” include the Outstanding Notes and the Exchange Notes.

The registered holder of an Exchange Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the indenture.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees

The Notes

The notes:

 

   

were issued by the Company;

 

   

are general unsecured obligations of the Company;

 

   

are senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Company;

 

   

are pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of the Company;

 

   

will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future Indebtedness, claims of holders of Preferred Stock and other liabilities of any future Subsidiaries of the Company that does not guarantee the notes;

 

   

are effectively subordinated to all existing and future Secured Indebtedness (including any borrowings under the Credit Agreement) and other secured obligations of the Company to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Secured Indebtedness or other secured obligations, as the case may be; and

 

   

are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.

 

136


The Note Guarantees

The notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiaries (other than any Insurance Subsidiary or any HUD Financing Subsidiary) that guarantee the Credit Facilities.

Each Note Guarantee of a Guarantor:

 

   

is senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor;

 

   

is a general unsecured obligation of that Guarantor;

 

   

is pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of that Guarantor, including its guarantee of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement; and

 

   

is effectively subordinated to all existing and future Secured Indebtedness of that Guarantor (including that Guarantor’s respective guarantee under the Credit Facilities) and other secured obligations to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Secured Indebtedness or other secured obligations, as the case may be.

As of the Issue Date, all of the Company’s Subsidiaries were “Restricted Subsidiaries.” However, under the circumstances described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” the Company is permitted to designate certain of its Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” The Unrestricted Subsidiaries, if any, will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture and will not guarantee the notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Company issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes on November 1, 2011. The Company may issue additional notes under the indenture from time to time. Any issuance of additional notes is subject to all of the covenants in the indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.” Any Outstanding Notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the Exchange Offer, together with the Exchange Notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Company issued notes in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The notes will mature on November 1, 2018.

Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 12.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on November 1 and May 1, commencing on May 1, 2012 (each an “interest payment date”). Interest on overdue principal and interest and Additional Interest, if any, will accrue at a rate that is 1.0% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the notes. The Company will make each interest payment due on an interest payment date to the holders of record as of the close of business on the immediately preceding October 15 and April 15 (whether or not a business day).

Interest on the notes accrues from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid or duly provided for, from the date it was most recently paid or duly provided for. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

All payments on the notes are made at the office or agency of the paying agent within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest payments due on an interest payment date by check mailed to the persons entitled thereto at their address set forth in the register of holders, provided, that if a holder

 

137


of notes has given wire transfer instructions to the paying agent at least 5 business days prior to an interest payment date, the Company will pay all interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, that holder’s notes due on an interest payment date in accordance with those instructions, and provided further, that all payments on the notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holder or holders thereof.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Company will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

Note Guarantees

The notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s current wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by future wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiaries (other than any Insurance Subsidiary or any HUD Financing Subsidiary) that guarantees the Credit Facilities. These Note Guarantees are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee is limited as necessary to prevent that Note Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—Under certain circumstances a court could cancel the notes or the related guarantees under fraudulent conveyance laws.”

A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

(1)           immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2)           either:

(a)           the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and the indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture; or

(b)           the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied, if required, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Guarantor may transfer real property that is the subject of a HUD Financing to a HUD Financing Subsidiary in connection with a HUD Financing permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenant under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.”

 

138


The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

(1)           in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture;

(2)           in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or other disposition;

(3)           if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;

(4)           upon the release or discharge of the guarantee of such Guarantor under the Credit Facilities, except a discharge or release of the guarantee by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that if any such Guarantor is so reinstated under the Credit Facilities, such Guarantor’s guarantee shall also be reinstated); or

(5)           upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided below under the captions “—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” and “—Satisfaction and Discharge.”

See “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales.”

Optional Redemption

At any time prior to November 1, 2014, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 112.875% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of holders of notes on a relevant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date), with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering by the Company or a contribution to the Company’s common equity capital made with the net cash proceeds of a concurrent Equity Offering by any direct or indirect parent company of the Company; provided that:

(1)           at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes originally issued under the indenture (excluding notes held by the Company, any direct or indirect parent of the Company and its Affiliates) remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(2)           the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

At any time prior to November 1, 2015, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date.

Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to November 1, 2015.

 

139


On or after November 1, 2015, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the notes redeemed, to the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on November 1 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of holders of notes on a relevant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date:

 

 

 

YEAR

   PERCENTAGE

2015

   106.438%

2016

   103.219%

2017 and thereafter

   100.000%

 

 

In connection with any redemption of notes (including with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering), any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

Mandatory Redemption

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

Selection and Notice

If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as it shall deem fair and appropriate in accordance with DTC procedures.

No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Except as provided above under the caption “—Optional Redemption,” notices of redemption may not be conditional.

If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note.

Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s

 

140


notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the indenture (provided, that any unpurchased portion of a note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to but excluding the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of holders of notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date (it being understood that to the extent any cash proceeds of a Change of Control are required to prepay the obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, the Company will be required to first apply such cash proceeds to prepay such obligations under the Credit Agreement but the Company will still be required to make a Change of Control Offer as set forth in the indenture). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent the Company has delivered notice to the trustee of its intention to redeem notes as described above under the caption “—Optional Redemption,” the Company will mail a notice to each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1)           accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2)           deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and

(3)           deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by the Company.

The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given to the trustee pursuant to the indenture as described above under the caption

 

141


“—Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, or conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require the Company to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.

Asset Sales

The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1)           The Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2)           Except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(a)           any liabilities, as shown on Parent’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or notes thereto, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;

(b)           any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company from such transferee that are, within 180 days, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(c)           any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $5.0 million and (y) 1.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value);

(d)           consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not subordinated Indebtedness; and

(e)           Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any payment obligations with respect to such Indebtedness or any Guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale.

 

142


Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:

(1)           to reduce Indebtedness and other Obligations under or pursuant to a Credit Facility or any Secured Indebtedness (unless the notes are then secured by a priority or pari passu lien) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(2)           to reduce Indebtedness and other Obligations of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);

(3)           to repay (i) Indebtedness or other Obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with the notes or (ii) Indebtedness and other Obligations of a Guarantor that rank pari passu with such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); provided that the Company shall equally and ratably redeem or repurchase the notes as described above under the caption “—Optional Redemption,” or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders to purchase the notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of repayment;

(4)           to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(5)           to make a capital expenditure;

(6)           to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or

(7)           any combination of the foregoing.

The Company will be deemed to have complied with the provisions set forth in clause (4), (5) and (6) of the preceding paragraph if, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business or to make a capital expenditure or acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business and that acquisition or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second paragraph of this covenant will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, within 30 days thereof, the Company will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer“) to all holders of the notes and Indebtedness of the Company that ranks pari passu with the notes and containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to but not including the

date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of holders of notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the purchase date, and will be payable in cash.

If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed and thereafter the trustee will select the notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the amount tendered (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company or the trustee, as applicable, so that only notes in denominations of $1,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased, provided that any unpurchased portion of a note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sales provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the Asset Sales provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.

The agreements governing our existing Indebtedness contain, and future agreements may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control or an Asset Sale. The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require the Company to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control or Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on us. In the event a Change of Control or Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Company is prohibited from purchasing notes, we could seek the consent of lenders under such other Indebtedness to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If we do not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, the Company will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, the Company’s failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture, which could, in turn, constitute a default under the other Indebtedness. Finally, the Company’s ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company’s then existing financial resources. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—We may not be able to satisfy our obligations to holders of notes upon a change of control or sale of assets.”

Because the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our properties and assets, and since the definition of “Net Proceeds” excludes all amounts in respect of any Asset Sale that are used to repay any Indebtedness that is secured by property or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale, it is unlikely that any meaningful amount of Net Proceeds will be generated from any Asset Sale so long as the Credit Agreement remains outstanding.

Certain Covenants

Changes in Covenants when Notes Rated Investment Grade

If on any date following the Issue Date:

(1)           the notes are rated Baa3 or better by Moody’s and BBB- or better by S&P (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the notes for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-l(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency); and

 

144


(2)           no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

then, beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter and subject to the provisions of the second succeeding paragraph, the covenants specifically listed under the following captions in this prospectus (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) will be suspended:

(1)           “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales”;

(2)           “—Certain Covenants—Restricted Payments”;

(3)           “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”;

(4)           “—Certain Covenants—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries”;

(5)           “—Certain Covenants—Transactions with Affiliates”;

(6)           “—Certain Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees”; and

(7)           clause (4) of the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.”

During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Company’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries” unless the Company’s Board of Directors would have been able, under the terms of the indenture, to designate such Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries if the Suspended Covenants were not suspended. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, the failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (including any action taken or omitted to be take with respect thereto) will not give rise to a Default or Event of Default under the indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the rating assigned by either such rating agency should subsequently decline to below Baa3 or BBB-, respectively, the foregoing covenants will be reinstituted as of and from the date of such rating decline (any such date, a “Reversion Date”). The period of time between the suspension of covenants as set forth above and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” All Indebtedness incurred (including Acquired Debt) and Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been incurred or issued in reliance on the exception provided by clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Debt.” Calculations under the reinstated “Restricted Payments” covenant will be made as if the “Restricted Payments” covenant had been in effect prior to and during the period that the “Restricted Payments” covenant was suspended as set forth above, provided that any Restricted Payment made during the Suspension Period shall in no event reduce the amount of Restricted Payments permitted by the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Restricted Payments” below zero; provided, further, for the sake of clarity, that no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended. For purposes of determining compliance with the covenant described above under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales,” the Excess Proceeds from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with such covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero after the Reversion Date. In addition, during a Suspension Period, any future obligation to grant further Note Guarantees shall be released. All such further obligation to grant Note Guarantees shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date.

In addition, the indenture also permits, without causing a Default or Event of Default, the Company and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to honor any contractual commitments to take actions following a Reversion Date; provided that such contractual commitments were entered into during the Suspension Period and not in contemplation of a reversion of the Suspended Covenants.

 

145


There can be no assurance that the notes will ever achieve an investment grade rating or that any such rating will be maintained.

Restricted Payments

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(1)           declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) other than:

(a)           no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(b)           the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described below under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”; and

(c)           such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company or the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1) and (13) of the next succeeding paragraph and excluding Restricted Payments permitted by all other clauses of the next succeeding paragraph; provided that the calculation of Restricted Payments shall exclude the amounts paid or distributed pursuant to clause (1) of the next succeeding paragraph to the extent that the declaration of such dividend or other distribution shall have previously been included as a Restricted Payment), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(1)           50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the fiscal quarter commencing immediately after the Issue Date to the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are

(2)           100% of the aggregate net proceeds, including cash and Fair Market Value of property other than cash (as determined in accordance with the second succeeding paragraph), received by the Company since the Issue Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Qualifying Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company (excluding, without duplication, Designated Preferred Stock), or from the issue or sale of Disqualified Stock of the Company or debt securities of the Company, in each case that have been converted into or exchanged for Qualifying Equity Interests of the Company (other than Qualifying Equity Interests and convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or debt securities sold to a Subsidiary of the Company); plus

(3)           100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of property other than cash (as determined in accordance with the second succeeding paragraph) received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company from (A) the sale or disposition (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of Restricted Investments made after the Issue Date and from repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries by any Person (other than the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries) and from repayments of loans or advances which constituted Restricted Investments made after the Issue Date (other than to the extent that such Restricted Investment was made pursuant to clause (12) of the next succeeding paragraph); (B) the sale (other than to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; (C) a distribution or dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent that such amounts were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period; and (D) any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue Date in a Person that is not a subsidiary at such time that subsequently becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such amount will not exceed the amount of the Restricted Investment initially made; plus

(4)           in the event that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company designated as such after the Issue Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary or has been merged or consolidated with or into or transfers or conveys its assets to, or is liquidated into, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in each case after the Issue Date, the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Restricted Investment in such Subsidiary (as determined in accordance with the second succeeding paragraph) as of the date of such redesignation, combination or transfer (or of the assets transferred or conveyed, as applicable), after deducting any Indebtedness associated with the Unrestricted Subsidiary so designated or combined or any Indebtedness associated with the assets so transferred or conveyed (other than in each case to the extent that the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was made pursuant to clause (14) of the next succeeding paragraph or constituted a Permitted Investment).

The preceding provisions will not prohibit:

(1)           the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of the indenture;

(2)           the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of or with the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Company; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will not be considered to be net proceeds of Qualifying Equity Interests for purposes of clause (c)(2) of the immediately preceding paragraph;

 

147


(3)           the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Equity Interests so long as the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution;

(4)           the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the notes or to any Note Guarantee with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(b)           the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company (to the extent contributed to the Company), and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date, (provided that the Company may elect to apply all or any portion of the aggregate increase contemplated by clauses (a) and (b) above in any calendar year);

(11)         the payment of dividends, other distributions and other amounts by the Company to, or the making of loans to, any direct or indirect parent of the Company, in the amount required for such parent to, if applicable, pay amounts equal to amounts required for any direct or indirect parent of the Company, if applicable, to pay interest and/or principal on Indebtedness the proceeds of which have been permanently contributed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and that has been guaranteed by, or is otherwise considered Indebtedness of, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in accordance with the covenant described below under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Fixed Charges”;

(12)         the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the notes, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to provisions similar to those described under the captions “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control” and “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales”; provided that, prior to such payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value, the Company (or a third party to the extent permitted by the indenture) has made a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as the case may be, with respect to the notes as a result of such Change of Control or Asset Sale, as the case may be, and has repurchased all notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as the case may be;

(13)         the distribution, as a dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company by, Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(14)         so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million;

(15)         any Restricted Payment made in connection with the Transactions as described in this prospectus and the fees and expenses related thereto or made to fund the Management Services Termination Fees or other amounts owed to Affiliates (including the declaration and payment of dividends to stockholders of the Company or to any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, the declaration and payment of dividends to, or the making of loans to, any direct or indirect parent company of the Company to fund any such payments and the redemption, repurchase or retirement for value of the PHC indebtedness);

(16)         payments and distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law, pursuant to or in connection with the Merger or a consolidation, merger or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole that complies with the terms of the indenture, including the covenant described under “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets”; and

(17)         any repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Preferred Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary made by exchange for or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of Preferred Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that, in each case, is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to the covenant described under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.”

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined by the Company, and in the case of any assets or securities with a Fair Market Value in excess of $10.0 million, will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

For purposes of determining compliance with this “Restricted Payments” covenant, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (1) through (17) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be entitled to classify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) on the date of its payment or later reclassify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Preferred Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such Preferred Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1)           the incurrence by the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Indebtedness and letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed (i) $165.0 million, less (ii) the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales required to be applied by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date to repay any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility or to repay any revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility and effect a corresponding commitment reduction thereunder pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales”, plus (iii) in the case of any refinancing of any Indebtedness permitted under this clause (1) or any portion thereof, the aggregate amount of customary underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses Incurred in connection with such refinancing;

(5)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3), this clause (5) or clause (13) of this paragraph;

(6)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(a)           if the Company or any Guarantor are the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

(b)           (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

              will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

(7)           the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that:

(a)           any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and

(b)           any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

(8)           the incurrence by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;

(15)         the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising in connection with endorsement of instruments for collection or deposit in the ordinary course of business;

(20)         the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness or the issuance by the Company of Disqualified Stock or the issuance by any Restricted Subsidiary of Preferred

 

152


Stock in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) or liquidation value at any time outstanding, including all Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness or liquidation value incurred pursuant to this clause (20), not to exceed the greater of (a) $10.0 million and (b) 3.0% of Total Assets at the time of incurrence, at any time outstanding; provided, that any Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock incurred or issued pursuant to this clause (20) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (20) but shall be deemed incurred for purposes of the first paragraph of this covenant from and after the first date on which the Company or the related Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such Indebtedness or issued such Disqualified Stock under the first paragraph of this covenant without reliance on this clause (20) and, with respect to any Indebtedness secured by a Lien, the Secured Leverage Ratio would not exceed 3.0 to 1.0 following such redesignation;

(21)         Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries supported by a letter of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Facilities in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit;

(22)         the incurrence of any Physician Support Obligations by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, in an amount not to exceed $2.0 million at any one time outstanding; and

(23)         HUD Financings incurred after the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10.0 million outstanding at any time.

The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt but excluding intercompany Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

For purposes of determining compliance with this “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (23) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant; provided that Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which the notes are first issued and authenticated under the indenture will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and may not be later reclassified. The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant or the covenant set forth under the caption “Certain Covenants—Liens”; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof shall be included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

 

153


The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(1)           the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2)           the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3)           in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(a)           the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(b)           the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Liens

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens, unless:

(1)           in the case of Liens securing subordinated Indebtedness, the notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

(2)           in all other cases, the notes and the Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the notes pursuant to this covenant shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) above.

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1)           pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2)           make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(3)           sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1)           agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on the Issue Date (or otherwise required by such agreements in existence on the Issue Date) and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date;

 

154


(2)           the indenture, the notes and the Note Guarantees and any exchange notes and related Note Guarantees issued pursuant to the registration rights agreement;

(3)           agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions therein either (i) are not materially more restrictive than those contained in agreements governing Indebtedness in effect on the Issue Date, or (ii) are not materially more disadvantagous to Holders of the notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined by the Company in good faith) and in the case of (ii) either (x) the Company determines (in good faith) that such encumbrance or restriction will not affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the notes or (y) such encumbrances or restrictions apply only during the continuance of a default in respect of payment or a financial maintenance covenant relating to such Indebtedness;

(4)           applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(5)           any instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such instrument was entered into in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;

(6)           customary provisions in contracts, leases, sub-leases and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(7)           purchase money obligations, mortgage financings and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;

(8)           contracts for the sale of assets, including any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary or all or substantially all of the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary in compliance with the terms of the indenture pending such sale or other disposition;

(9)           Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(10)         Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenant described under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and Liens permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenant described under the caption “—Liens”, in each case, that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(11)         provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment), which limitation is applicable only to the assets or Persons that are the subject of such agreements;

(12)         restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(13)         customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(18)         agreements relating to HUD Financing and any amendments of those agreements.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

The Company will not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(1)           either: (a) the Company is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia and, if such entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the notes is a corporation organized or existing under any such laws;

(2)           the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Company under the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture in the form attached to the Indenture;

(3)           immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(4)           the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”.

This “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” covenant will not apply to (i) the Merger or (ii) any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and any wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company. Clauses (3) and (4) of the first paragraph of this covenant will not apply to (a) any merger or consolidation of any Restricted Subsidiary with or into the Company or (b) a

 

156


merger or consolidation of the Company with or into an Affiliate for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

All references to “Company” in this Description of the Exchange Notes shall be deemed to include any successor entity that assumes all of the obligations of the Company under the notes in a transaction that complies with this covenant. Following any such assumption (except in the case of a lease), the Company or such predecessor company, as the case may be, shall be released from its obligations under the indenture, the notes and the registration rights agreement.

Transactions with Affiliates

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $1.0 million, unless:

(1)           the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company, taken as a whole, or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;

(2)           with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, the Company delivers to the trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant; and

(3)           with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15.0 million, the Company delivers to the trustee an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from an Independent Financial Advisor.

The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

(1)           any employment agreement, consulting agreement, severance agreement, employee benefit plan, compensation arrangement, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by, or policy of, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and payments pursuant thereto;

(2)           transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3)           transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(4)           payment of fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of the Company;

(5)           any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company to Affiliates of the Company;

 

157


(6)          (a) Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments” and (b) Permitted Investments;

(7)           sales of Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company to Affiliates of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries not otherwise prohibited by the indenture and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith;

(8)           transactions with an Affiliate where the only consideration paid is Qualifying Equity Interests of the Company;

(9)           transactions in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction (i) is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or (ii) meets the requirements of clause (1) of the preceding paragraph;

(10)         payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business;

(11)         any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the holders of the notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

(12)         transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(13)         any contributions to the common equity capital of the Company;

(14)         pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(15)         the issuances of securities or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock option and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company, or of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as appropriate, in good faith;

(16)         the Transactions and the payment of any reasonable fees or expenses incurred in connection therewith (including dividends to any direct or indirect parent company of the Company to fund such payment);

(17)         the entry into any tax-sharing arrangements between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any of their direct or indirect parents; provided, however, that any payment made by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under such tax-sharing arrangements is, at the time made, otherwise permitted by the covenant described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments”;

(18)         transactions with customers, clients, lessors, landlords, suppliers, contractors, or purchasers or sellers of good or services that are Affiliates, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the indenture which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

(19)         transactions between the Company and any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person a director of which is also a director of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company.

 

158


Additional Note Guarantees

If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary that guarantees payment by the Company of Indebtedness under any Credit Facility (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness that would satisfy clause (b) of such term) after the Issue Date, then that newly acquired or created Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture in the form attached to the Indenture within 30 days of the date on which it guarantees such Indebtedness; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) HUD Financing Subsidiaries, (ii) any Insurance Subsidiary and (iii) Subsidiaries that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture.

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as Unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments” or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, the Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the trustee by filing with the trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an officers’ certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments.” If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock,” the Company will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock,” calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Payments for Consent

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

 

159


Reports

Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the holders of the notes (or file with the SEC for public availability) within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:

(1)           all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such reports, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants; and

(2)           all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. In addition, the Company will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing). To the extent any such information is not furnished within the time periods specified above and such information is subsequently furnished (including upon becoming publicly available, by filing such information with the SEC), the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto as such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.

If, at any time after consummation of this Exchange Offer, the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation, cither on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

In addition, the Company and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to the holders of notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Events of Default and Remedies

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1)           default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the notes;

(2)           default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the notes;

 

160


(3)           failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice by the trustee to the Company or by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding voting as a single class to the Company and the trustee to comply with any of the agreements in the indenture (other than a default referred to in clause (1) or (2) above);

(4)           default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

(a)           is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or premium, if any, on any such Indebtedness at final Stated Maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) (a “Payment Default”); or

(b)           results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more;

(5)           failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary to pay final non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $10.0 million (other than any judgments covered by indemnities or insurance policies issued by reputable and creditworthy companies), which judgments arc not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days, after the applicable judgment becomes final and non-appealable;

(6)           except as permitted by the indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms hereof), or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee and any such Default continues for 10 days; or

(7)           certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the indenture with respect to either of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to either of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by notice to the Company (with a copy to the trustee if given by holders of notes) may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.

Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.

Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in clause (4) of the preceding paragraph

 

161


(excluding any resulting payment default under the indenture or the notes), the declaration of acceleration of the notes shall be automatically annulled if the holders of all Indebtedness described in clause (4) have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within 20 days of the date of such declaration of acceleration of the notes, and if the annulment of the acceleration of the notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, and all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal or interest on the notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the notes, have been cured or waived.

The indenture provides that if a Default is deemed to occur solely as a consequence of the existence of another Default (the “Initial Default”), then, at the time such Initial Default is cured, the Default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action.

Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:

(1)          such holder has previously given the trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(2)          holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)          such holder or holders offer and, if requested, provide to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4)          the trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5)          during such 60-day period, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes do not give the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by written notice to the trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, the notes (except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the notes).

The Company and each Guarantor is required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Company is required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

 

162


Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The Company may at any time, at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors evidenced by resolutions set forth in an officers’ certificate, elect to have all of the Company’s obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”) except for:

(1)          the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of premium on, if any, and interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

(2)          the Company’s obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of transfer of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, all Events of Default described under the caption “—Events of Default and Remedies” (except those relating to payments on the notes, covenants that are not subject to Covenant Defeasance or bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation or insolvency events) will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(2)          in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3)          in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time, as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

163


(4)          no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(5)          such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Company or any of the Guarantors is bound;

(6)          the Company must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

(7)          the Company must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, additional notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, the notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, additional notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).

Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of notes, the Company and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees:

(1)           to cure any ambiguity, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

(2)           to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

(1)           either:

(a)          all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, have been cancelled or delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

 

165


(b)          all such notes have become due and payable at final maturity or by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or will become due and payable within one year or will be redeemed within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of a notice of redemption in the name and at the expense of the Company and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon will be in an amount, or a combination thereof in amounts, as will be sufficient (in case Government Securities have been deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants), without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such notes for principal of, premium on, if any, and interest and Additional Interest if any, on, the notes to the date of maturity or redemption;

In addition, Company must deliver an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee slating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Concerning the Trustee

If the trustee becomes a creditor of the Company or any Guarantor, the indenture limits the right of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if the indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its rights and powers under the indenture, to use the same degree of care in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. For example, the trustee may require a Holder to post a bond or other security if such Holder requests the trustee to file a lawsuit against the Company, because the trustee is not required under the indenture to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, will be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

Except as described below, the Exchange Notes will be initially represented by one or more global notes in fully registered form without interest coupons. The global notes will be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, and DTC or its nominee will initially be the sole registered holder of the Exchange Notes for all purposes under the indenture governing the notes. We expect that pursuant to procedures established by DTC (i) upon the issuance of the global notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the principal amount at maturity of the individual beneficial interests represented by such global notes to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Such accounts initially will be designated by or on behalf of the initial purchaser and ownership of beneficial interests in the global notes will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC (“participants”) or persons who hold interests through participants. Holders may hold their interests in the global notes directly through DTC if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such system.

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of the notes, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such global notes for all purposes under the indenture. No beneficial owner of an interest in the global notes will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC’s procedures, in addition to those provided for under the indenture with respect to the notes.

Payments of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on, the global notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. None of the Company, the trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.

We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, interest on the global notes, will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global notes as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way through DTC’s same-day funds system in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same day funds. If a holder requires physical delivery of a Certificated Security for any reason, including to sell notes to persons in states which require physical delivery of the notes, or to pledge such securities, such holder must transfer its interest in a global note, in accordance with the normal procedures of DTC and with the procedures set forth in the indenture.

DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in the global notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the indenture, DTC will exchange the global notes for Certificated Securities, which it will distribute to its participants.

DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the

 

192


Uniform Commercial Code and a “Clearing Agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly (“indirect participants”).

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Company nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Certificated Securities

Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the global notes (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and such Certificated Securities are requested by DTC or (ii) if DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days.

CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer. It does not contain a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the exchange. This summary is limited to holders of Outstanding Notes who hold the Outstanding Notes as “capital assets” (in general, assets held for investment). Special situations, such as the following, are not addressed:

 

   

tax consequences to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment, such as tax-exempt entities, dealers in securities or currencies, banks, other financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

 

   

tax consequences to persons holding notes as part of a hedging, integrated, constructive sale or conversion transaction or a straddle or other risk reduction transaction;

 

   

tax consequences to holders whose “functional currency” is not the United States dollar;

 

   

tax consequences to persons who hold notes through a partnership or similar pass-through entity;

 

   

United States federal gift tax, estate tax or alternative minimum tax consequences, if any; or

 

   

any state, local or non-United States tax consequences.

The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and rulings, judicial decisions and administrative interpretations thereunder, as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.

Consequences of Tendering Outstanding Notes

The exchange of your Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer should not constitute an exchange for United States federal income tax purposes because the Exchange Notes should not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the Outstanding Notes. Accordingly, the Exchange Offer should have no United States federal income tax consequences to you if you exchange your Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes. For example, there should be no change in your tax basis and your holding period should carry over to the Exchange Notes. In addition, the United States federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of your Exchange Notes should be the same as those applicable to your Outstanding Notes.

The preceding discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations of the Exchange Offer is for general information only and is not tax advice. Accordingly, each investor should consult its own tax advisor as to particular tax consequences to it of exchanging Outstanding Notes for Exchange Notes, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws, and of any proposed changes in applicable laws.

 

194


CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

To the extent the Exchange Notes are purchased and held by an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, or Section 4975 of the Code, the following considerations should be taken into account.

General Fiduciary Matters

ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the management or administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

In considering an investment in the Exchange Notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws. A fiduciary of a Plan should consider the Plan’s particular circumstances and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment including, but not limited to, the matters discussed above under “Risk Factors,” in determining whether an investment in the Exchange Notes satisfies these requirements.

Prohibited Transaction Issues

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engages in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of the Exchange Notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we or the purchasers are considered a party in interest or disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption.

ERISA and the Code contain certain exemptions from the prohibited transactions described above and the U.S. Department of Labor has issued several exemptions, although certain exemptions do not provide relief from the prohibitions on self-dealing contained in section 406(b) of ERISA and sections 4975(c)(1)(E) and (F) of the Code. Statutory exemptions include section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and section 4975(d)(20) of the Code pertaining to certain transactions with non-fiduciary service providers or certain of their affiliates. The U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or PTCEs, that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the Exchange Notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14, as amended, respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1, respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38, respecting bank-maintained collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60, respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23, as amended, respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. There can be no assurance that any of these exemptions or any other exemption will be available with respect to the acquisition of the Exchange Notes, or that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

As a general rule, a governmental plan, as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA (a “Governmental Plan”), a church plan, as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA, that has not made an election under section 410(d) of the

 

195


Code (a “Church Plan”), and non-U.S. plans are not subject to the requirements of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code. Although a Governmental Plan, a Church Plan or a non-U.S. plan may not be subject to ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, it may be subject to Similar Laws. A fiduciary of a Governmental Plan, a Church Plan or a non-U.S. plan should make its own determination as to the requirements, if any, under any Similar Law applicable to the acquisition of the Exchange Notes.

Because of the foregoing, the Exchange Notes should not be purchased or held by any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

Representations

By acceptance of an Exchange Note, or an interest therein, each purchaser and subsequent transferee will be deemed to have acknowledged, represented and warranted to, and agreed that either (a) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser to acquire and hold an Exchange Note, or an interest therein, constitutes assets of a Plan or (b) the acquisition and holding of such Exchange Note or an interest therein by the purchaser or transferee, throughout the period that it holds such Exchange Note or an interest therein, and the disposition of such Exchange Note or an interest therein will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA or a similar violation of any provision of any applicable Similar Laws. Any purported transfer of an Exchange Note or an interest therein to a transferee that does not comply with the foregoing requirements without the written consent of the Company shall be null and void ab initio.

The Exchange Offer is not a representation by us that an acquisition of the Exchange Notes meets all legal requirements applicable to investments by Plans, entities whose underlying assets include assets of a Plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for any particular Plan, or entities whose underlying assets include assets of a Plan.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the Exchange Notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such transactions and whether an exemption would be applicable to the purchase and holding of the Exchange Notes.

 

196


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes.

This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Outstanding Notes if the Outstanding Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.

We have agreed to make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer to use in connection with any such resale for a period of at least 180 days after the expiration date.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

   

in the over-the-counter market;

 

   

in negotiated transactions; or

 

   

through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale.

These resales may be made:

 

   

at market prices prevailing at the time of resale;

 

   

at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

 

   

at negotiated prices.

Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers. Brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. An “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act includes:

 

   

any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer; or

 

   

any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes.

Any profit on any resale of Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of not less than 180 days after the expiration of the Exchange Offer we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests those documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to performance of our obligations in connection with the Exchange Offer, other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers. We will indemnify each participating broker-dealer against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and will contribute to payments that they may be required to make in request thereof.

 

197


Prior to the Exchange Offer, there has not been any public market for the Outstanding Notes. The Outstanding Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be subject to restrictions on transferability to the extent that they are not exchanged for Exchange Notes by holders who are entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer. The holders of Outstanding Notes, other than any holder that is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, who are not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer are entitled to certain registration rights, and we may be required to file a shelf registration statement with respect to their Outstanding Notes. The Exchange Notes will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to list the Exchange Notes on any national securities exchange or to seek the admission thereof to trading in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. The initial purchaser has advised us that it currently intends to make a market in the Exchange Notes. Such market making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and may be limited during the Exchange Offer and the pendency of any shelf registration statements. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that an active public or other market will develop for the Exchange Notes or as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Exchange Notes. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained, holders of the Exchange Notes may experience difficulty in reselling the Exchange Notes or may be unable to sell them at all. If a market for the Exchange Notes develops, any such market may be discontinued at any time.

 

198

ACADIA HEALTHCARE COMPANY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2011

1. Description of Business

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Acadia” or the “Company”) was formed in October 2005 as a limited liability company under the provisions of the Delaware Limited Liability Act (the “Act”). On May 13, 2011, the Company was converted to a C-corporation registered as Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Until November 1, 2011, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC (hereafter referred to as “Holdings” or the “Member”). The Company’s principal business is to develop and operate inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse facilities and facilities providing outpatient behavioral health services to better serve the behavioral health and recovery needs of communities throughout the United States.

2. Recent Developments

On November 1, 2011, the Company completed its merger with PHC, Inc. d/b/a Pioneer Behavioral Health (“PHC”), a publicly-held behavioral health services company based in Massachusetts. In connection with the PHC merger, the Company issued $150.0 million of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and used the proceeds of such debt issuance primarily to pay a cash dividend of $74.4 million to existing Acadia stockholders, repay PHC indebtedness of $26.4 million, fund the $5.0 million cash portion of the merger consideration issued to the holders of PHC’s Class B Common Stock, pay a $20.6 million fee to terminate the professional services agreement between Acadia and Waud Capital Partners and pay transaction-related expenses. The Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $2.5 million. Additionally, pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company issued 4,891,667 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. to the holders of PHC’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock based on a one-to-four conversion rate and 19,566,668 PHC shares outstanding immediately prior to the merger.

The 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 issued by the Company are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., as the parent issuer of the 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018, has no independent assets or operations.

3. Basis of Presentation

The business of the Company is conducted through limited liability companies and C-corporations, each of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Registration

 

F-6


Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 2011. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Acquisitions

On April 1, 2011, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. (“YFCS”). YFCS operates 13 behavioral health facilities across the United States. The preliminary value of the total consideration is approximately $178 million. The qualitative factors comprising goodwill include efficiencies derived through synergies expected by the elimination of certain redundant corporate functions and expenses, the ability to leverage call center referrals to a broader provider base, coordination of services provided across the combined network of facilities, achievement of operating efficiencies by benchmarking performance and applying best practices throughout the combined company. Approximately $26.5 million of the goodwill associated with the YFCS acquisition is deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which are subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information related to the fair value of intangible assets and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available, are as follows (in thousands):

Additionally, the Company assumed an obligation of YFCS to make certain change-of-control payments of $2.2 million to certain executives of YFCS pursuant to pre-existing employment agreements. The total severance liability decreased to $2.1 million as of September 30, 2011 as a result of $1.5 million of payments made during the period from the acquisition date to September 30, 2011.

F-8


In connection with the YFCS acquisition, the Company acquired $19.4 million of intangible assets consisting of patient-related intangible assets of $1.2 million, non-compete agreements of $0.3 million, licenses and accreditations of $8.2 million and certificates of need of $9.7 million. The intangible assets acquired from YFCS have been recorded at preliminary estimates of fair value that are subject to change upon completion of the Company’s valuation analyses. The patient-related intangible assets, which represent the value associated with the patients admitted to the YFCS facilities as of the acquisition date, have been amortized over the estimated three-month average term in which the existing patients will be discharged. The YFCS non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the one-year term of the agreements.

Amortization expense for intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, compared to $0 and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective asset. The Company’s licenses and accreditations and certificates of need intangible assets have indefinite lives and are therefore not subject to amortization.

7. Discontinued Operations

GAAP requires that all components of an entity that have been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or are held for sale and whose cash flows can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity be presented as discontinued operations. In 2010, the Company ceased operations of its facility located in Hilo, Hawaii. Additionally, as part of the acquisition of YFCS on April 1, 2011, the Company acquired a facility located in Tampa Bay, Florida that was classified as discontinued operations during 2010. The results of operations of these facilities have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 1, 2011, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) administered by Bank of America, N.A. and providing $135.0 million of term loans and a revolving credit facility of $30.0 million. The term loans require quarterly principal payments of $1.7 million for June 30, 2011 to March 31, 2013, $3.4 million for June 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014, $4.2 million for June 30, 2014 to March 31, 2015, and $5.1 million for June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015, with the remaining principal balance due on the maturity date of April 1, 2016. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $23.1 million of availability under its revolving line of credit, which reflects the total revolving credit facility of $30.0 million less borrowings of $6.5 million and an undrawn letter of credit of $0.4 million.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate tied to the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (defined as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facility). The Applicable Rate as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facility for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.0% and 3.0% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans, respectively, as of September 30, 2011. Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%. As of September 30, 2011, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bore interest at 4.2%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving line of credit. As of September 30, 2011, undrawn amounts bore interest at a rate of 0.5%.

Acadia amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility on July 12, 2011 to permit the Company to incur indebtedness so long as certain conditions regarding such indebtedness are satisfied. The amendment became effective on November 1, 2011 upon the consummation of the PHC merger and the issuance of $150.0 million of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes”), as described in Note 2. The Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $2.5 million.

The Company is subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes, including restrictions on liens, investments,

 

F-10


indebtedness and dividends, and Acadia is subject to specified financial covenants, including a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant and a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement). As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

The Company capitalized approximately $5.9 million of debt issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 associated with the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Secured Promissory Notes

The Secured Promissory Notes were repaid on April 1, 2011.

9. Equity Arrangements

The Company was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and was structured as a single-member limited liability corporation until its conversion to a C-corporation (Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.) on May 13, 2011. On May 20, 2011, Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. underwent a stock split by means of a stock dividend of 100,000 shares of common stock for each share of common stock outstanding such that 10,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. On November 1, 2011, the Company completed a 1.7633-for-one stock split which resulted in 17,633,116 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on such date.

On April 1, 2011, Holdings amended its limited liability company agreement and its Class A Preferred Units, Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units, and Class B Preferred Units were exchanged for equivalent fair values of Class A Units and Class B Units as of such date. Additionally, on April 1, 2011, Holdings issued Class A Units and Class B Units to investors consisting of Waud Capital Partners or its affiliates and certain members of Acadia management for cash proceeds of $52.5 million.

On November 1, 2011, Holdings was dissolved and the 17,633,116 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. were distributed to the members of Holdings, consisting of Waud Capital Partners or its affiliates and certain members of Acadia management, in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Additionally, on November 1, 2011, 4,891,667 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. were issued to the PHC stockholders as part of the merger consideration.

10. Equity-Based Compensation

On January 4, 2010, certain members of senior management purchased 3,650 Class A Preferred Units and 3,650 Class A Common Units. The Company loaned the members of management the funds necessary to purchase these units pursuant to a three year recourse secured note bearing interest at 8% annually. Since these units contained certain repurchase provisions, they were accounted for as liability awards. The Company also issued 1,000 Class B Preferred Units and 19,000 Class B Common Units to senior management which only vest upon the occurrence of a certain qualified change in control. Accordingly, at December 31, 2010 none of the Class B Preferred Units and none of the Class B Common Units held by management were vested. The fair value of management’s Class A Preferred Units and Class A Common Units at December 31, 2010 was approximately $0.6 million. The fair value of management’s Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units at December 31, 2010 was approximately $5.9 million. There were no cancellations and no forfeitures on: (1) the Class A Preferred Units; (2) the Class A Common Units; (3) the Class B Preferred Units; and (4) the Class B Common Units. On April 1, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of YFCS, the vesting of the Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units was accelerated. The Class A Preferred Units, Class A Common Units, Class B Preferred Units, and Class B Common Units were exchanged for 5,650 new Class A units, 5,650 new Class B units, and $0.9 million in cash. As a result of the modification of the awards to accelerate the vesting, the Company recognized approximately $6.1 million of equity-based compensation expense on April 1, 2011. The fair value of the units and the recognized compensation expense were determined based on

 

F-11


approximately $36.0 million of contemporaneous cash investments from Waud Capital Partners or its affiliates and approximately $16.5 million of contemporaneous cash investments from new members of Acadia’s management on April 1, 2011.

On April 1, 2011, Holdings issued Class C Units and Class D Units (the “Management Incentive Units”) to certain members of management. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, the Management Incentive Units do not have value until certain performance targets are met. The Class C Units vest evenly over a five-year period on each of the first five anniversaries from the date of issuance and the Class D Units were immediately vested at the date of issuance. The Management Incentive Units contain certain repurchase provisions requiring such to be accounted for as liability awards. The estimated fair value of the Management Incentive Units of $13.7 million as of September 30, 2011 was based on various factors, including the value implied by the anticipated PHC merger and analyses of relevant EBITDA multiples as supported by guideline companies, and resulted in $13.7 million of equity-based compensation expense relating to the Management Incentive Units as of September 30, 2011. Such equity-based compensation expense will be adjusted in the fourth quarter of 2011 based on the fair value of common stock distributed to the unitholders in exchange for the Management Incentive Units upon closing of the PHC merger.

11. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, using 17,633,116 shares of common stock as the weighted-average shares outstanding. All shares and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the stock splits completed on May 20, 2011 and November 1, 2011.

12. Income Taxes

Acadia was formed as a limited liability company (LLC) that is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Some of Acadia’s subsidiaries are organized as LLCs and others as corporations. Prior to April 1, 2011, the Company and its subsidiary LLCs were taxed as flow-through entities and as such, the results of operations of the Company related to the flow-through entities were included in the income tax returns of its members. On April 1, 2011, the Company and its wholly-owned LLC subsidiaries elected to be taxed as a corporation for federal and state income tax purposes, and, therefore, henceforth income taxes are the obligation of the Company.

Management is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Company’s flow-through tax status for periods prior to April 1, 2011.

The Company has made tax payments of $2.3 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for continuing operations of $0.9 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, consists of (a) current and deferred tax expense on the respective periods’ operating results and (b), the recognition of deferred tax expense attributable to the change in federal and state tax status of the Company and its wholly-owned LLC subsidiaries, in accordance with ASC 740 on April 1, 2011.

 

F-12


Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Current deferred tax assets are included in other current assets and non-current deferred tax liabilities are included in other liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is, from time to time, subject to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, breach of contract, business tort and employment related claims. In these actions, plaintiffs request a variety of damages, including, in some instances, punitive and other types of damages that may not be covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the Company is not currently a party to any proceeding that would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations or wrongdoing. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare program.

Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often occurs in subsequent years because of audits by such programs, rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical provisions. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

15. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-24, “Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Presentation of Insurance Claims and Recoveries,” which provides clarification to companies in the healthcare industry on the accounting for professional liability insurance. ASU 2010-24 states that insurance liabilities should not be presented net of insurance recoveries and that an insurance receivable should be recognized on the same basis as the liabilities, subject to the need for a valuation allowance for uncollectible accounts. ASU 2010-24 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard increased other current assets by $1.0 million, other assets by $1.8 million, other current liabilities by $1.0 million and other long-term liabilities by $1.8 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors, resulting in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This update changes the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosure requirements were

 

F-14


expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011 and have been reflected in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-7, “Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities.” In accordance with ASU 2011-7, the Company will be required to present its provision for doubtful accounts as a deduction from revenue, similar to contractual discounts. Accordingly, the Company’s revenue will be required to be reported net of both contractual discounts and its provision for doubtful accounts. Additionally, ASU 2011-7 will require the Company to make certain additional disclosures designed to help users understand how contractual discounts and bad debts affect recorded revenue in both interim and annual financial statements. ASU 2011-7 is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-7 is not expected to impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows although it will impact the presentation of the statement of operations and require additional disclosures.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The update permits the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, member’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC and subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ACADIA HEALTHCARE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of the Business

Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC (hereinafter referred to as Acadia or the Company) was formed on October 24, 2005 as a limited liability company under the provisions of the Delaware Limited Liability Act (the Act). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC (hereafter referred to as Holdings or the Member). The Company’s principal business is to develop and operate acute psychiatric hospitals (IPF), residential treatment centers (RTC) and substance abuse facilities to better serve the behavioral health and recovery needs of the communities throughout the United States.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The business of the Company is conducted through limited liability companies and C corporations, each of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including estimates for uncollectible patient receivables, estimates of amounts receivable and payable to third-party payors, and estimated insurance liabilities. There is a reasonable possibility that actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that it mitigates any risks by depositing cash and investing in cash equivalents with major financial institutions.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally three to thirty years, or the term of the related lease if less than the useful life. When assets are sold or retired, the corresponding cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, was approximately $868,000, $865,000 and $708,000, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of medical and other supplies and is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

 

F-21


Net Patient Service Revenue

Net patient service revenue is derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment and includes revenue payable by the Medicare Program (Medicare) administered by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Medicaid Programs, commercial insurance (in network and out of network), and other payors including individual patients. Revenue is recorded at the time services are provided. Charity care is recorded as deduction to revenues for self-pay patients that the Company does not expect to be able to pay for care. Charity care deductions from revenue were $1.8 million, $1.8 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Patient service revenue is recorded at established billing rates less contractual adjustments. Contractual adjustments are recorded to state patient service revenue at the amount expected to be collected for the service provided based on amounts reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid under provisions of cost or prospective reimbursement formulas or amounts due from other third-party payors at contractually determined rates.

The Company receives payments for services rendered from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid Programs), commercial insurance companies (in network and out of network), and other payors including individual patients. The majority of its reimbursement is from Medicare and Medicaid.

The following table presents patient service revenue by payor type as a percentage of total patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

 

 

 

     2010     2009     2008  

Medicare

     23     22     22

Medicaid

     39        40        41   

Commercial

     30        33        34   

Self-pay and other

     8        5        3   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

Total

     100     100     100
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often occurs in subsequent years because of audits by such programs, rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical provisions. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations or wrongdoing. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare program.

 

F-22


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company receives payments for services rendered from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), commercial insurance companies (in network and out of network), and other payors including individual patients. The Company extends credit to its patients and does not require collateral. The Company does not charge interest on accounts receivable.

The Company does not believe that there are any significant concentrations of revenues from any particular payor that would subject it to any significant credit risks in the collection of its accounts receivable. Estimated provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. In evaluating the collectibility of accounts receivable, the Company considers a number of factors, including the age of the accounts, historical collection experience, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors.

Income Taxes

Acadia was formed as a limited liability company (LLC). Some of Acadia’s subsidiaries are organized as LLCs and others as C-corporations. The Company has elected, where applicable, that all such entities be taxed as flow-through entities and as such, the results of operations of the Company related to the flow-through entities are included in the income tax returns of its members. Accordingly, taxable income of the Company is the direct obligation of the Member. Management is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Company’s flow-through tax status.

Some of the Company’s subsidiaries are taxed as a C-corporation for federal and state income taxes as the respective subsidiary is directly liable for taxes on its separate income. A tax provision has been provided for income taxes that are the responsibility of the Company or its subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relating to the entities that are taxed as C-corporations and for any taxing jurisdictions that do not recognize an LLC as a flow-through entity.

Unaudited Pro Forma Income Taxes

The Company has prepared and provided pro forma disclosures in the consolidated statements of operations as if the Company’s flow through entities were taxable as C-corporations for federal and state income tax purposes. The pro forma income tax expense was $2,448,357 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and is based on statutory income tax rates.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $210,000, $208,000 and $92,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Professional Liabilities Insurance

Loss provisions for professional liability claims are based upon independent actuarial estimates of future amounts that will be paid to claimants. These estimates include consideration of historical Company specific and general psychiatric industry claims experience, as well as future estimated claims payment patterns.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company has recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values. The Company recognizes specifically identifiable intangibles when a specific right or contract is acquired. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lessor of the underlying contractual or estimated useful lives.

 

F-23


The Company’s goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually in its fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if events indicate that the asset may be impaired. Such evaluation includes comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying value. If the fair value of the goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the differences. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company performed its annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2009, and did not incur an impairment charge.

Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

The carrying values of long-lived and finite lived intangible assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the asset will not be recoverable, as determined based upon the undiscounted cash flows of the operating asset over the remaining amortization period, the carrying value of the asset will be reduced to its fair value.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

In September 2006, FASB issued No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS No. 157, which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification 825 (“ASC 825”), Financial Instruments. This guidance, among other things, established a framework for measuring fair value and required supplemental disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes resulting from the application of this new accounting pronouncement primarily relate to the definition of fair value and the methods used to measure fair value. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, the FASB subsequently deferred this guidance for one year insofar as it relates to certain non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2008, except for the provisions relating to non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of this guidance for financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Non-financial assets and liabilities include: (i) those items measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing; (ii) tangible and intangible long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment testing; and (iii) those items initially measured at fair value in a business combination. The portion of this guidance that defers the effective date for one year for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, was implemented January 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-7, “Health Care Entities” (Topic 954): Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities. ASU 2011-7 requires healthcare organizations to present their provision for doubtful accounts related to patient service revenue as a deduction from revenue, similar to contractual discounts. In addition, all healthcare organizations will be required to provide certain disclosures designed to help users understand how contractual discounts and bad debts affect recorded revenue in both interim and annual financial statements. ASU 2011-7 is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2011-7 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2012, and is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although it will change the presentation of the Company’s revenues on its statements of operations, as well as requiring additional disclosures.

 

F-24


Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification 825 (“ASC 825”), Financial Instruments (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107), requires certain disclosures regarding the estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the consolidated financial statements approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term nature.

Earnings Per Unit

Basic and diluted earnings per unit are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (formerly SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share) using the weighted-average units outstanding in each period, which represents the 100 units held by Holdings for all periods presented, adjusted to retroactively reflect the 100,000-for-one stock split that was effected by means of a stock dividend on May 20, 2011 and the 1.7633-for-one stock split completed on November 1, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principle, which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This guidance establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as the single source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification did not change U.S. GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification is considered non-authoritative. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company has adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2009. The adoption did not have a significant impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification 820 (“ASC 820”), Financial Instruments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This guidance also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. The Company has adopted this guidance and has elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value.

Acquisition Method of Accounting for Acquisitions

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations, which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification 805 (“ASC 805”). This guidance requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in acquisition accounting as well as requiring the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. Additionally, it provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Furthermore, this guidance requires any adjustments to acquired deferred tax assets and liabilities occurring after the related measurement period to be made through earnings for both acquisitions occurring prior and subsequent to its effective date. The Company adopted

 

F-25


ASC 805 on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption was prohibited. The adoption of this guidance, prospectively, may have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position, to the extent that it has material acquisitions, as costs that have historically been capitalized will now be expensed, such as accounting, legal and other professional fees. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $849,000 and $204,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No. 51, which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification 810 (“ASC 810”), Consolidation. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, this guidance changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary, including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the equity attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling owners and a schedule showing the effects of changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary on the equity attributable to the parent.

This guidance does not change the provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, which has also been codified into ASC 810, Consolidation, related to consolidation purposes or consolidation policy, or the requirement that a parent consolidate all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. This guidance does, however, amend certain of consolidation procedures to make them consistent with the requirements of ASC Topic 805 as well as to provide definitions for certain terms and to clarify some terminology. This guidance was effective on January 1, 2009 for the Company. Earlier adoption was prohibited. This guidance must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Determination of Useful Life of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification 350 (“ASC 350”), Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as codified into ASC 350, and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R), as codified into ASC 805, Business Combination, when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for ASC 350’s entity-specific factors. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

F-26


Convertible Debt Instruments

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP, No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification 470 (“ASC 470”), Debt. This guidance specifies that issuers of certain convertible debt instruments must separately account for the liability and equity components thereof and reflect interest expense at the entity’s market rate of borrowing for non-convertible debt instruments. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was not permitted. This guidance requires retrospective application to all periods presented in the annual financial statements for the period of adoption and where applicable instruments were outstanding during an earlier period. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on periods prior to those presented shall be recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented. An offsetting adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period, presented separately. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Fair Value Measurements

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, which has been codified into ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This guidance provides additional direction for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This guidance also includes direction on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale, between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, which has been codified into Accounting Standards Codification 855 (“ASC 855”). This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which became effective with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. This new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

F-27


In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. The adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements and believes none will have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

2008 Acquisition

On September 15, 2008, the Company acquired certain assets of RiverWoods Psychiatric Center, a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, Georgia (Atlanta). The gross purchase price was approximately $8,700,000 plus transaction costs of approximately $419,000. Assets acquired included real property, personal property and intangible assets such as noncompete agreements, Medicare licenses and a certificate of need.

The total purchase price of the 2008 acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired with the advice of an independent valuation firm. The purchase price allocation was as follows:

F-28


approximately $2,200,000. In addition the Company may have to pay an additional $949,000 (earn-out payments) if certain earnings levels are achieved during the first three years. The estimated the fair value of earn-out payments at the date of the acquisition was approximately $713,000 based upon expected earnings of Acadiana. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $63,000, which were expensed as incurred. Assets acquired included personal property and intangible assets such as noncompete agreements and a trade name.

The estimated fair value of the earn-out payments and intangible assets acquired were determined by management with the advice of an independent valuation firm. The fair values of assets acquired at the acquisition date were as follows:

On November 2, 2009, the Company acquired certain assets from Parkwest Medical Center related to its residential mental health treatment program in Louisville, Tennessee (The Village). The purchase price was approximately $10. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $41,000, which were expensed as incurred. Assets acquired included personal property. The fair values of assets acquired at the acquisition date were as follows:

As the fair value of the consideration transferred was less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805 (ASC 805), Business Combinations, the Company has accounted for the acquisition of The Village as a “Bargain Purchase” and has recorded a gain of approximately $99,985 for the year ended December 31, 2009 which is reflected in other gains in the consolidated statements of operations.

2011 Acquisition

On April 1, 2011, the Company acquired 100 percent of the equity interests of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. (YFCS). YFCS operates 13 behavioral health facilities across the United States. The preliminary value of the total consideration transferred is approximately $178.0 million, which represents the cash consideration paid at closing of $178.1 million less a working capital settlement of $0.1 million. The qualitative factors comprising goodwill include efficiencies derived through synergies expected by the elimination of certain redundant corporate functions and expenses, the ability to leverage call center referrals to a

broader provider base, coordination of services provided across the combined network of facilities, achievement of operating efficiencies by benchmarking performance and applying best practices throughout the combined company.

Approximately $26.5 million of the goodwill associated with the YFCS acquisition is deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which are subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information related to the fair value of property and equipment and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available, are as follows (in thousands):

To assist in financing the acquisition of YFCS, the Company entered into a new credit facility consisting of a term loan of $135,000,000 and a revolving credit facility of $30,000,000. On April 1, 2011, $10,000,000 was drawn on the revolving credit facility as part of the funding of the YFCS acquisition. Also in connection with the YFCS acquisition, the Company received approximately $52,544,000 as equity investment from Holdings.

The terms of the formation of Holdings were specified by its limited liability company agreement (the Agreement). The Agreement provided for the issuance of membership units comprised of Preferred Units, Class A Units, Class B Units, and Class C Units. In August 2009, the Agreement was amended and revised (the Amended Agreement). Under the Amended Agreement: Preferred Units were reauthorized as Class A Preferred Units; Class A Units were reauthorized as Class A Common Units; Class B Units were reauthorized as Class B Common Units; Class B Preferred Units were authorized and Class C Units were no longer authorized.

Each holder of Class A Common Units is entitled to one vote per unit. Class A Preferred, Class B Preferred and Class B Common Units are not accorded voting rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement, the liability of the members is generally limited to their initial capital contributions. Holdings and the Company will continue indefinitely unless dissolved by a vote of the Board of Managers, a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Holdings or the Company, or judicial dissolution in accordance with the Act. The death, retirement, expulsion, withdrawal, bankruptcy, or dissolution of any member will not cause the dissolution of Holdings or the Company.

The affairs and the business of Holdings and the Company are managed by a Board of Managers, except in instances where the approval of the members is expressly required by law. The Board of Managers is comprised of six managers.

 

F-32


Three managers, including the Chairman of the Board of Managers, are designated by the Majority Holder of the Preferred Class A Units and the Class A Common Units (Majority Holder).

Acadia’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) also serves as a manager and the remaining two managers are outside managers with significant industry experience designated by the Majority Holder with the approval of the CEO.

Members holding Preferred Class A Units hold certain preferences in the event the Company is liquidated and are entitled to an annual return of 10% on the Preferred Class A capital balance plus any unpaid preferred returns from previous periods. Cumulative accrued returns approximated $14,511,000, $9,679,000 and $5,312,000 at December 31, 2010,a 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Approximately 1,000 Class B Preferred Units, 3,650 Class A Common Units and 25,000 Class B Common Units have been reserved for issuance to certain employees of Holdings as of December 31, 2010. The Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units vest upon a qualified change in control (as defined in the Amended Agreement) of the Holdings.

On August 31, 2009, the Company issued 247,005 and 249,500 Class A Preferred Units and Class A Common Units, respectively, to the Majority Holders in exchange for an aggregate commitment to contribute capital of $24,950,000.

On January 4, 2010, certain members of senior management of the Company purchased 3,650 Class A Preferred Units and 3,650 Class A Common Units. The Company loaned the members of management the funds necessary to purchase these units pursuant to a three year recourse secured note bearing interest at 8% annually. Since these units contain certain repurchase provisions, they are accounted for as liability awards. The Company also issued 1,000 Class B Preferred Units and 19,000 Class B Common Units to senior management which only vest upon the occurrence of a certain qualified change in control. Accordingly, at December 31, 2010 none of the Class B Preferred Units and none of the Class B Common Units held by management were vested. The fair value of management’s Class A Preferred Units and Class A Common Units at December 31, 2010 was approximately $607,000. The fair value of management’s Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units at December 31, 2010 was approximately $5,907,000. There were no cancellations and no forfeitures on: (1) the Class A Preferred Units; (2) the Class A Common Units; (3) the Class B Preferred Units; and (4) the Class B Common Units. On April 1, 2011, in connection with the merger with YFCS, the vesting of the Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units was accelerated. The Class A Preferred Units, Class A Common Units, Class B Preferred Units, and Class B Common Units were exchanged for 5,650 new Class A units, 5,650 new Class B units, and $861,758 in cash. As a result, the Company recognized approximately $6,146,000 of share based compensation on April 1, 2011.

Members of Holdings made contributions of $2,500,000 and $10,395,000 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No contributions were made by members during the year ended December 31, 2010.

6. Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of patient accounts receivable. Should government agencies suspend or significantly reduce contributions to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) program, the Company’s ability to collect on its receivables would be adversely affected. The Company’s exposure to credit risk with respect to its remaining receivables is limited due to the large number of payors and their geographic dispersion.

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Acadia has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

     2010      2009  

Secured Promissory note (secured by the physical assets of Acadia) with interest payments due monthly for the first 12 months and interest and principal payments thereafter with the total outstanding amount due on December 31, 2010 (see below), bearing interest at a variable rate

     3,468,156         3,468,156   

Unsecured Promissory notes from the Majority Holder with all principal and interest payments due on April 6, 2009, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 12%

The estimated fair value of debt approximates the carrying amount of $9,983,599 and $10,258,654 at December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, due to the short term nature of the debt. The Secured Promissory notes that matured on December 31, 2010 were extended for an additional term on January 27, 2011 and were repaid on April 1, 2011.

 

F-35


10. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company is obligated under certain operating leases to rent space for its IPF and RTC facilities and other office space. The terms of the leases range from five to ten years, with optional renewal periods. The Company’s building lease for Lafayette contains a fair market value purchase option exercisable under certain conditions during the lease terms.

Aggregate minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases with original or remaining lease terms in excess of one year are as follows:

 

 

 

Year ended December 31,

  

2011

   $ 1,027,274   

2012

     1,062,025   

2013

     1,040,907   

2014

     965,827   

2015 Thereafter

     925,505   

Thereafter

     1,758,118   
  

 

 

 

Total minimum rental obligations

   $ 6,779,656   
  

 

 

 

 

 

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred rental expense, in the aggregate, under all of its operating leases of approximately $1,287,668, $884,936 and $851,723, respectively.

Insurance

Prior to July 1, 2009, the Company maintained commercial insurance coverage on an occurrence basis for workers’ compensation claims with no deductible. Effective July 1, 2009, the Company maintains commercial insurance coverage on an occurrence basis with a $250,000 deductible per claim and $1 million per claim limit. The Company maintains commercial insurance coverage on a claims-made basis for general and professional liability claims with a $50,000 deductible and $1 million per claim limit and an aggregate limit of $3 million with excess umbrella coverage for an additional $7 million.

The accrued insurance liabilities included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include estimates of the ultimate costs for both reported claims and claims incurred but not reported through December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for losses that may occur from the asserted and unasserted claims.

The healthcare industry in general continues to experience an increase in the frequency and severity of litigation and claims. As is typical in the healthcare industry, the Company could be subject to claims that its services have resulted in patient injury or other adverse effects. In addition, resident, visitor and employee injuries could also subject the Company to the risk of litigation. While the Company believes that quality care is provided to patients in its facilities and that it materially complies with all applicable regulatory requirements, an adverse determination in a legal proceeding or government investigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

 

F-36


11. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company maintains a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all of its employees. The Company may, at its discretion, make contributions to the plan. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company contributed approximately $102,000, 89,000 and 105,000, respectively, to the 401(k) plan.

12. Related-Party Transactions

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Majority Holder is entitled to receive advisory, financing, and transaction fees for services rendered to the Company.

Advisory fees represent management consulting services rendered to the Company and totaled $550,000, $500,000, and $450,000, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Financing fees represent services rendered in assisting the Company with negotiating, arranging and structuring certain financing transactions. The Majority Holder was entitled to Financing Fees of $0, $0 and $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Majority Holder was also entitled to a transaction fee of approximately $1 million upon the date of its initial contribution to the Company and an additional $1 million payment upon the date of the amended and restated LLC Agreement. The Majority Holder was entitled to a restructuring fee of $480,000 upon the date of the amended and restated LLC Agreement. The Majority Holder has irrevocably waived payment of any advisory, financing, transaction and restructuring fees from inception of the Company through December 31, 2010 (the Waived Fees). These Waived Fees are subject to a 10% return until paid. Aggregate cumulative Waived Fees approximated $6,590,000 and $5,433,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Through December 31, 2009, Acadia contracted for certain services (the Purchased Services) from Regency Hospital Company, LLC (Regency), a company in which the Majority Holder previously held a majority of the membership units. Fees incurred for the Purchased Services provided by Regency were based upon time and materials incurred for providing the service. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, Purchased Services fees approximated $19,000 and $189,000.

13. Income Taxes

Acadia was formed as a limited liability company (LLC) which is taxed as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Some of Acadia’s subsidiaries are organized as LLC’s and others as corporations. The Company and its subsidiary LLCs will be taxed as flow-through entities and as such, the results of operations of the Company related to the flow-through entities are included in the income tax returns of its members.

Accordingly, taxable income of the Company is the direct obligation of the members. Management is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Company’s flow-through tax status.

Some of the Company’s subsidiaries are taxed as C-corporations and the respective subsidiaries are directly liable for taxes on their separate income. A tax provision has been provided for income taxes that are the responsibility of the Company or its subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relating to the entities that are taxed as C-corporations and for any taxing jurisdictions that do not recognize an LLC as a flow-through entity.

The Company’s current tax expense of $621,541 for the year ended December 31, 2010 consists of federal tax expense as well as a gross receipts tax assessed by a certain state that is accounted for as income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”).

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory United States federal income tax rate for the years ended December 31 as follows:

The other line item shown above represents the flow-through of taxable income to the members of the Company.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company are as follows:

Based on the weight of available evidence, a valuation allowance was provided to offset the entire net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the valuation allowance against certain subsidiaries was released, which resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset of $144,495. All other net deferred tax assets remain fully reserved as of December 31, 2010.

The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are approximately $2.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Of these amounts approximately $1.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 is attributed to a certain acquisition. The operating losses will expire between 2022 and 2028. Due to changes in ownership control, net operating losses acquired are limited to offset future income pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

Acadia adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10 formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on January 1, 2009. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

As a result of the implementation of this guidance, the Company recognized no cumulative effect adjustment. The Company had $1,050,220 and $116,897 of unrecognized income tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of which $1,005,798 was used to reduce available net operating losses.

None of the uncertain tax positions would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized. The Company has unused U.S. federal and state NOLs for years 2002 through 2007. As such, these years remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company SFAS No. 157, which has been codified into ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The implementation of this guidance did not change the method of calculating the fair value of assets or liabilities. The primary impact from adoption was additional disclosures. The portion of this guidance that defers the effective date for one year for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, was implemented January 1, 2009, and did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3 Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active, which has also been codified into ASC 820. This guidance provides an illustrative example to demonstrate how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. This guidance was effective upon issuance. The Company does not currently have any investments requiring fair market valuations in inactive markets; therefore, the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

The fair value hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement, as follows:

 

   

Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

   

Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

   

Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

F-39


The following table summarizes the financial instruments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, which are valued at fair value:

16. Subsequent Events

On May 13, 2011, the Company was converted to a C-corporation registered as Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. As a result of the conversion to a C-corporation, all of the Company’s 100 outstanding membership units were converted to 100 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.

On May 20, 2011, the new C-corporation underwent a stock split by means of a stock dividend of 100,000 shares of common stock for each share of common stock outstanding on May 20, 2011 such that 10,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding on such date. On November 1, 2011, an additional 1.7633-for-one stock split was completed resulting in 17,633,116 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at that date. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations disclose earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 giving effect to the stock splits.

On November 1, 2011, the Company completed its merger with PHC, Inc. d/b/a Pioneer Behavioral Health (“PHC”), a publicly-held behavioral health services company based in Massachusetts. In connection with the PHC merger, the Company issued $150.0 million of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and used the proceeds of such debt issuance primarily to pay a cash dividend of $74.4 million to existing Acadia stockholders, repay PHC indebtedness of $26.4 million, fund the $5.0 million cash portion of the merger consideration issued to the holders of PHC’s Class B Common Stock, pay a $20.6 million fee to terminate the professional services agreement between Acadia and Waud Capital Partners and pay transaction-related expenses. The Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $2.5 million. Additionally, pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company issued 4,891,667 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. to the holders of PHC’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock based on a one-to-four conversion rate and 19,566,668 PHC shares outstanding immediately prior to the merger.

The 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 issued by the Company are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., as the parent issuer of the 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018, has no independent assets or operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to fairly present our financial position at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The information contained in these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company was sold on April 1, 2011(See Note 8).

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-24, which provides clarification to companies in the healthcare industry on the accounting for malpractice claims or similar contingent liabilities. This ASU states that an entity that is indemnified for these liabilities shall recognize an insurance receivable at the same time that it recognizes the liability, measured on the same basis as the liability, subject to the need for a valuation allowance for uncollectible amounts. This ASU also discusses the accounting for insurance claims costs, including estimates of costs relating to incurred-but-not-reported claims and the accounting for loss contingencies. Receivables related to insurance recoveries should not be netted against the related claim liability and such claim liabilities should be determined without considering insurance recoveries. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Acquisitions and Dispositions

Closed Operations:

In a previous year, the Company determined that a psychiatric hospital in New Mexico and a residential treatment center in Ohio no longer provided a benefit to the Company and terminated the operations. The continuing operating expenses for these facilities were not significant and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2011.

In June 2009, the Company temporarily suspended the operations at one of its Arizona facilities in response to the economic crisis and related funding issues within the state, as well as, certain environmental problems at the facility. The Company has eliminated the environmental problem and believes the state will take appropriate action to resolve its financial issues. With the new directions the Company has identified in areas of outpatient treatment care services and targeting programs that will meet community needs and the state’s push for new care alternatives, our intent is to re-open the facility, within the next six to twelve months, at a time when

 

F-44


the state’s economic situation has improved and a strong referral base could once again be established. The continuing operating expenses for this facility are not significant and will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations:

There were no discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009.

In October 2010, the Company was notified by the Agency for Health Care Administration that it was discontinuing the Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) contract at its Tampa Bay facility. Subsequent appeals with the Florida Medicaid Bureau were, eventually, denied. The notice of termination which was to be effective, on December 15, 2010, was subsequently withdrawn as the Company voluntarily terminated the contract. The loss of this contract generated a severe financial impact on the facility to the extent the Company decided to terminate operations effective December 31, 2010.

In connection with closing the facility, we recorded a charge for impaired assets, which were, principally, two group homes, leasehold improvements and furniture and equipment, in the amount of, approximately, $1,100,000 and exit costs of, approximately, $2,500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 5—Senior and Subordinated Debt

The Company has a credit agreement with a syndication of lenders who provided the Company with up to $170.0 million. The Credit Agreement provided for a term loan for up to $120.0 million, expiring in July 2013 and a revolving credit facility for up to $25.0 million, expiring in July 2012.

The Term Loan and the Revolving Loan are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company has granted a first priority security interest in the capital stock and related assets of those subsidiaries.

Our Senior Secured Credit Agreement requires the Company to make additional principal payments, subject to step-down based on total leverage levels, of the Company’s defined excess cash flow. The Company made excess cash flow payments in the amount of approximately $1.8 million in 2011, and $13 million in 2010, in order to remain in compliance with its debt covenants.

The agreement provides that the Company, at its option, may elect that all or part of the term loan and the revolving loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the banks applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate, as these terms are defined in the credit agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate will be increased by an applicable margin related to each type of loan.

The interest rates applicable to the Senior Term Loan ranged, primarily, from 4.01% to 4.02% and 3.99% to 5.75% for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee, at the rate of 0.50% per year, on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and, at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, had no borrowings outstanding.

Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes:

The Company has outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes in the amount of $31.0 million bearing interest at the rate of 12.0% per year, payable quarterly, with the principal balance due and payable on January 19, 2014. Additionally, the Company issued warrants to purchase 4,041,689 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share having an estimated value of approximately $768,000 based upon the fair value of the underlying common shares. The amount allocated to the warrants has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a discount on the Senior Subordinated Notes and the amortization is included in interest expense. The warrants shall be exercisable at any time, in whole or part, into Common Stock of the Company prior to May 28, 2014 (the “Warrant Expiration Date”). The Senior Subordinated Notes are held by funds indirectly managed by principal shareholders of the Company.

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes contain certain restrictive covenants. These covenants include restrictions on additional borrowings, investments, sale of assets, capital expenditures, dividends, sale and leaseback transactions, contingent obligations, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes in business activities. The covenants also require the maintenance of certain financial ratios regarding senior indebtedness, senior interest and capital expenditures. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

On April 1, 2011, in connection with the sale of the Company, all outstanding loans were paid in full (See Note 8).

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

Other financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, current debt, accounts payable and other current liabilities.

Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies

Professional Liability:

The Company’s business entails an inherent risk of claims relating to professional liability. The Company maintains professional liability insurance, on a “claims made basis”, with an option to extend the claims reporting period and general liability insurance, on an “occurrence basis”. The Company also maintains additional coverage for claims in excess of the coverage provided by the professional and general liability policies. The Company accrues for unknown incidents based upon the anticipated future costs related to those potential obligations. The Company believes that its insurance coverage is sufficient based upon claims experience and the nature and risks of its business. There can be no assurance that a pending or future claim or claims will not be successful against the Company, and, if successful, will not exceed the limits of available insurance coverage or that such coverage will continue to be available at acceptable costs and on favorable terms. In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with its professional liability carrier to convert the professional liability policies for the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 policy years from Loss Sensitive/Retrospectively Rated premium policies to Guaranteed Cost policies. This conversion effectively “buys out” the retro programs and eliminates future premium adjustments, regardless of loss development or claims experience. The premium for this conversion was, approximately, $2,500,000.

Legal Proceedings:

In the ordinary course of business the Company is exposed to various legal proceedings, claims and incidents that may lead to claims. In management’s current opinion, the outcome with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, there can be no assurances that, over time, certain of these proceedings will not develop into a material event and that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

Reimbursement and Regulatory Matters:

Laws and regulations governing the various Medicaid and state reimbursement programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. However, the Company has ongoing regulatory matters, including those described below. Currently, management does not believe the outcome of the compliance matters or regulatory investigations will have a significant impact on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

In April 2006, the Company and one of its facilities were the recipients of a federal subpoena. The Company fully cooperated with the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s investigation and the parties worked on components of a model residential treatment program as a resolution of the investigation. In December 2008, the Assistant U.S. Attorney contacted the Company’s outside counsel, and informed him that the investigation was the product of a qui tam action filed under the Federal False Claims Act. Such cases are filed “under seal” and the defendants are not notified until the government officially intervenes in the case. In this instance, the Court directed the government to either settle this matter promptly, or intervene or decline to intervene, in which case the plaintiff could still proceed on his/her own; and the Court partially unsealed the case, so as to let the Company know it was the subject of a lawsuit. A settlement agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office was reached on April 22, 2009, which includes facets of a model residential treatment program; a partial re-payment of funding in three installments of $50,000 each, with the final installment paid in April of 2011; and various corporate integrity provisions commonly required by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General. As part of the integrity provisions, an independent review organization shall monitor the Company for three years. The Company was notified by the U.S. Attorney’s Office on March 9, 2010 and by the independent review organization on March 10, 2010 that they had received complaints alleging compliance concerns which they intended to investigate. The matters were fully investigated internally and externally and resolved with no

 

F-47


material financial effects. As of January 31, 2011, the independent review organization reported no issues of non-compliance. In late February of 2011, outside counsel for the Company contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office to verbally inform the government of the impending sale of the Company. During the call, the Assistant U.S. Attorney mentioned that he would be sending a letter or other communication on various matters, but he declined to indicate the anticipated substance of the correspondence or if there were specific concerns. The correspondence has not been received at this time.

On August 20, 2010, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) issued an Emergency Immediate Moratorium on Admissions to halt all residential treatment admissions due to regulatory deficiencies. Subsequently over a period of four months, AHCA issued a moratorium on admissions for two of the group homes; filed five administrative complaints seeking fines totaling $134,500 and revocation of licenses; and sent a notice of termination of the Medicaid Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) contract with Tampa Bay Academy, effective December 15, 2010, which was subsequently withdrawn to allow the Company to voluntarily terminate that contract. This facility was closed on December 31, 2010, and the case was settled for approximately $30,000 in June 2011.

Note 7—Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred and Common Stock:

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 375,000,000 shares of capital stock designated as follows: (i) 270,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001, of which 90,000,000 shares have been designated as Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, 90,000,000 shares have been designated as Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock and 90,000,000 shares have been designated as Redeemable Preferred Stock, and (ii) 105,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001.

83,609,009 shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock and 85,398 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

All of the Company’s outstanding shares of Preferred and Common stock are held by Company sponsors and certain of its current and former employees.

Note 8—Income Taxes

The Company’s anticipated annual effective income tax rate is, approximately, 39.0%. The provision for income taxes differs from the statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, permanent differences and the effect of the valuation allowance.

Note 9—Subsequent Events

Material Definitive Agreements:

On April 1, 2011, prior to the consummation of sale referred to below, the Company declared a dividend of and distributed 100% of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of Oak Ridge to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company. Upon consummation of the dividend, the Company wrote off approximately $1.4 million relating to an Oak Ridge accrued regulatory matter.

On February 17, 2011, Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with Acadia Healthcare Company, LLC, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and Acadia—YFCS Acquisition Company, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Merger Co”).

The Companies closed the transaction on April 1, 2011.

 

F-48


On April 1, 2011, upon consummation of the sale, approximately, $84.3 million of our Senior and Subordinated Debt was paid off and the Company expensed all remaining deferred charges, including, deferred financing costs, subordinated debt warrants, rating agency and lender administrative fees in the amount of, approximately, $1,593,000.

Furthermore, on April 1, 2011, upon consummation of the sale, the Company wrote off dividends accrued on preferred shares in the amount of, approximately, $15,300,000 and returned invested capital to both preferred and common shareholders in the amount of, approximately, $4,000,000.

Executive Employment Agreements:

In 2004, the Company entered into employments agreement with our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”). Such employment agreements have been amended in connection with the Merger (the “Amendments”), with the Amendments becoming effective upon the consummation thereof.

In accordance with the appropriate guidance which establishes general standard of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued, the Company evaluated subsequent events through July 7, 2011, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no other material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors of

Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

YOUTH AND FAMILY CENTERED SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business:

Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1997 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The Company is a leading provider of behavioral healthcare, education, and long-term support needs for abused and neglected children and adolescents. The Company operates thirteen facilities in eight states and its services include inpatient acute care programs, residential treatment programs, programs for the developmentally disabled, foster care, group homes, home and community based services, outpatient and accredited private schools.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Revenues and Allowance for Contractual Discounts:

Revenues consist primarily of net patient service revenues that are recorded based upon established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments. Revenues are recorded during the period the health care services are provided, based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payors. Third party payors include Medicaid, various state agencies, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies.

The following table presents patient service revenue by payor type and as a percent of total patient service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 (amounts in thousands):

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The Company records accounts receivable in the period in which the services were rendered and represent claims against third-party payors such as Medicaid, state agencies, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and/or patients, that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, represents their estimated net realizable value. If events or circumstances indicate specific receivable balances may be impaired, further consideration is given to the Company’s ability to collect those balances and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. The Company continually monitors its accounts receivable balances and utilizes cash collection data to support its estimates of allowance for doubtful accounts. Past-due receivable balances are cancelled when internal collection efforts have been exhausted.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

Medicaid revenues, for healthcare services in two states, represented approximately 36.7%, 38.3% and 39.5%, of the Company’s net patient net revenues during each of 2008, 2009, and 2010. Accounts receivable are unsecured and due, primarily, from Medicaid, state agencies and educational programs. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the non-collection of customer receivables. The Company’s management recognizes that revenues and receivables from government agencies are significant to its operations, but does not believe that there are significant credit risks associated with these government programs. Because of the large number of payors, types of payors and the diversity of the geographic locations, in which the Company operates, management does not believe there are any other significant concentrations of revenues from any particular payor that would subject the Company to any significant credit risks in the collection of its accounts receivable.

As a result of the current economic environment, many states have significant budget deficits. State Medicaid programs are experiencing increased demand, and with lower revenues than projected, they have fewer resources to support their Medicaid programs. Federal health reform legislation was enacted to significantly expand state Medicaid programs. In certain states the Company has experienced rate and utilization decreases resulting from these budget constraints. The Company cannot predict the amount, if any, of future rate and utilization decreases or their effect on the Company.

 

F-56


The 2009 Federal economic stimulus legislation enacted to counter the impact of the economic crisis on state budgets will expire on June 30, 2011. This legislation provided additional federal matching funds to help states maintain their Medicaid programs through June 30, 2011. There are currently no legislative initiatives proposing to extend this program. It is difficult to predict what impact this will have on the Company.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets, generally seven to twenty years for equipment and ten to forty years for buildings. Betterments, renewals and repairs that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred.

Valuation of Long-Lived and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets:

The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived tangible and definite-lived intangible assets in accordance with the relevant guidance and reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, property and equipment, including amortizable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment is generally determined by comparing projected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset, or appropriate group of assets, to its carrying value. If impairment is identified, a loss is recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s net book value over its fair value, and the cost basis is adjusted. Determining the extent of impairment, if any, typically requires various estimates and assumptions including using management’s judgment, cash flows directly attributable to the asset, the useful life of the asset and residual value, if any. When necessary, the Company uses appraisals, as appropriate, to determine fair value. Any required impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating results. In connection with the closing of its Tampa, Florida facility, in December 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of, approximately, $1,100,000 (See Note 2).

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the relevant guidance. Goodwill represents the excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company’s business comprises a single operating reporting unit for impairment test purposes. For the purpose of these analyses, the Company’s estimates of fair value are based on its future discounted cash flows. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis include estimated future revenue growth, gross margins and a risk free interest rate. If the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds their fair value, we compare the implied fair value of these assets with their carrying amount to measure the potential impairment loss. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment at the same time each year and when an event occurs or circumstances change, such that, it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist. The Company has selected September 30th as its annual testing date. There was no resulting impairment in 2009. In connection with the execution of a Sale Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of, approximately, $24,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 (See Note 11).

The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of Goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 (amounts in thousands):

F-57


Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, covenants not to compete, trade names and certificates of need. Customer relationships are amortized on an expected cash flow method from five to ten years and covenants not to compete are amortized on a straight-line basis from three to five years. Trademarks, trade names and certificates of need are not amortized because they have indefinite useful lives.

Deferred Costs:

Deferred costs consist principally of deferred financing costs and are being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method set forth in the relevant guidance, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax laws and related rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences are deductible. Uncertain tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not threshold to be recognized in the financial statements and the tax benefits recognized are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon final settlement (See Note 9).

Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock-based compensation awards are granted under the Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc. 2004 Stock Option and Grant Plan. The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation under the fair value recognition and measurement provisions, as required by the applicable guidance, that requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value at the date of the grant.

The fair value of the stock options issued in 2008, 2009 and 2010 was estimated using the Black Scholes Merton option pricing model. Use of this model requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding expected option life (estimated at five years), volatility (estimated upon the volatility of comparable public entities within the Company’s industry), risk free interest rate (estimated upon United States Treasury rates at the date of the grant), and dividend yields (estimated at zero). Option forfeitures are based upon actual forfeitures for the period. We recognized expense on all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.

The following table summarizes the weighted average grant-date value of options and the assumptions used to develop their fair value for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Our estimate of expected annual implied volatility for stock options granted in 2008, 2009 and 2010 is based upon an analysis of the historical stock price volatility of publicly-traded comparable companies.

The fair value of the underlying common stock was determined by management based, in part, on a third party valuation report obtained in 2004. The value of the common stock subsequent to 2004 was materially consistent with such fair value determined in 2004 and the indications of enterprise value from its efforts to sell the Company, including the ultimate sale of the Company described Note 11.

Derivative Instruments:

The Company previously entered into an interest rate cap, which expired in August 2009, to convert a portion of its floating debt to a fixed rate, thus reducing the impact of rising interest rates on interest payments. The Company had not designated its derivative instrument as a hedge and therefore the cost of this agreement was being amortized to interest expense in current earnings. The agreement capped the base interest rate in relation to $48.0 million of variable long-term debt at 6.40%. At December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Company’s base rate was approximately 3.12%, 0.29% and 0.27%, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2010 the Company was not a party to any interest rate protection agreements.

Fair Value of the Financial Instruments:

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments has been estimated using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies, in accordance with the appropriate guidance.

Fair value financial instruments are recorded at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy that prioritized observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value in their broad levels. These levels from highest to lowest priority are as follows:

 

   

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data; and

 

   

Level 3: Unobservable inputs or valuation techniques that are used when little or no market data is available.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations, and the Company typically values these financial assets and liabilities at their carrying values, which approximates fair value due to their generally short-term duration.

The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s senior long-term debt is considered to be representative of the fair value principally due to the variable interest rate attached to the debt instrument and based on the current market rates for debt with similar risks, terms and maturities, we estimate the value of the Company’s senior subordinated debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2010.

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy require judgment.

 

F-59


Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In New Accounting Pronouncements:

In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-24, which provides clarification to companies in the healthcare industry on the accounting for malpractice claims or similar contingent liabilities. This ASU states that an entity that is indemnified for these liabilities shall recognize an insurance receivable at the same time that it recognizes the liability, measured on the same basis as the liability, subject to the need for a valuation allowance for uncollectible amounts. This ASU also discusses the accounting for insurance claims costs, including estimates of costs relating to incurred-but-not-reported claims and the accounting for loss contingencies. Receivables related to insurance recoveries should not be netted against the related claim liability and such claim liabilities should be determined without considering insurance recoveries. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS

Closed Operations:

In a previous year, the Company determined that a psychiatric hospital in New Mexico and a residential treatment center in Ohio no longer provided a benefit to the Company and terminated the operations. The continuing operating expenses for these facilities were not significant and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

In June 2009, the Company temporarily suspended the operations at one of its Arizona facilities in response to the economic crisis and related funding issues within the state, as well as, certain environmental problems at the facility. The Company has eliminated the environmental problem and believes the state will take appropriate action to resolve its financial issues. With the new directions the Company has identified in areas of outpatient treatment care services and targeting programs that will meet community needs and the state’s push for new care alternatives, our intent is to re-open the facility, within the next six to twelve months, at a time when the state’s economic situation has improved and a strong referral base could once again be established. The continuing operating expenses for this facility are not significant and will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations:

There were no discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009.

In October 2010, the Company was notified by the Agency for Health Care Administration that it was discontinuing the Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) contract at its Tampa Bay facility. Subsequent appeals with the Florida Medicaid Bureau were, eventually, denied. The notice of termination which was to be effective, on December 15, 2010, was subsequently withdrawn as the Company voluntarily terminated the contract. The loss of this contract generated a severe financial impact on the facility to the extent the Company decided to terminate operations effective December 31, 2010.

 

F-60


In connection with closing the facility, we recorded a charge for impaired assets, which were, principally, two group homes, leasehold improvements and furniture and equipment, in the amount of, approximately, $1,100,000 and exit costs of, approximately, $2,500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Our Senior Secured Credit Agreement requires the Company to make additional principal payments, subject to step-down based on total leverage levels, of the Company’s defined excess cash flow. The Company was required to make an excess cash flow payment in the amount of approximately $10,500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and no payment was due for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively; however, the Company did make a $13 million payment in 2010 and expects to make a payment of $1.8 million in 2011 in order to remain in compliance with its debt covenants.

The agreement provides that the Company, at its option, may elect that all or part of the term loan and the revolving loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the banks applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate, as these terms are defined in the credit agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate will be increased by an applicable margin related to each type of loan.

The interest rates applicable to the Senior Term Loan ranged, primarily, from 6.45% to 8.08%, 6.87% to 4.01% and 3.99% to 6.00% for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee, at the rate of 0.50% per year, on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and, at December 31, 2010, had no borrowings outstanding.

Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes:

The Company has outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes in the amount of $31.0 million bearing interest at the rate of 12.0% per year, payable quarterly, with the principal balance due and payable on January 19, 2014. Additionally, the Company issued warrants to purchase 4,041,689 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share having an estimated value of approximately $768,000 based upon the fair value of the underlying common shares. The amount allocated to the warrants has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a discount on the Senior Subordinated Notes and the amortization is included in interest expense. The warrants shall be exercisable at any time, in whole or part, into Common Stock of the Company prior to May 28, 2014 (the “Warrant Expiration Date”). The Senior Subordinated Notes are held by funds indirectly managed by principal shareholders of the Company.

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes contain certain restrictive covenants. These covenants include restrictions on additional borrowings, investments, sale of assets, capital expenditures, dividends, sale and leaseback transactions, contingent obligations, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes in business activities. The covenants also require the maintenance of certain financial ratios regarding senior indebtedness, senior interest and capital expenditures. At December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments:

The Company was obligated under a capital lease agreement for a building having an original term of 15 years that expired in January 2010. The new lease was renewed under terms and conditions that qualified it as an operating lease.

Included in buildings and improvements in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2010 are the following assets held under capital lease (amounts in thousands):

The Company leases other certain property and equipment under non-cancelable long-term operating leases that expire at various dates. Certain of the leases require additional payments for taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and in most cases provide for renewal options. Generally, the terms are from one to ten years.

Future minimum lease commitments for all non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 2010 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Legal Proceedings:

In the ordinary course of business the Company is exposed to various legal proceedings, claims and incidents that may lead to claims. In management’s current opinion, the outcome with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, there can be no assurances that, over time, certain of these proceedings will not develop into a material event.

Professional Liability:

The Company’s business entails an inherent risk of claims relating to professional liability. The Company maintains professional liability insurance, on a “claims made basis”, with an option to extend the

 

F-65


claims reporting period and general liability insurance, on an “occurrence basis”. The Company also maintains additional coverage for claims in excess of the coverage provided by the professional and general liability policies. The Company accrues for unknown incidents based upon the anticipated future costs related to those potential obligations. The Company believes that its insurance coverage is sufficient based upon claims experience and the nature and risks of its business. There can be no assurance that a pending or future claim or claims will not be successful against the Company, and, if successful, will not exceed the limits of available insurance coverage or that such coverage will continue to be available at acceptable costs and on favorable terms.

Reimbursement and Regulatory Matters:

Laws and regulations governing the various Medicaid and state reimbursement programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. However, the Company has ongoing regulatory matters, including those described below. Currently, management does not believe the outcome of the compliance matters or regulatory investigations will have a significant impact on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, a local county referral agency conducted a routine audit which revealed possible billing problems. The Company conducted a detailed internal compliance review that confirmed certain billing problems existed. The Company immediately changed its procedures and increased the in-house training of its personnel. The Company offered to reimburse the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (the “State Medicaid agency”), for all questionable billings and subsequent to the offer, the State Medicaid agency conducted its audit covering the period August 2003 through January 2005. The result of this audit was a request for the payback of approximately $1.4 million from the facility, which has been accrued by the Company. An administrative hearing was conducted in September 2007; and in January 2008, the State Medicaid agency submitted the hearing officer’s report and recommendations to the Company. Subsequent to this, an Adjudication Order was issued. The Company appealed the administrative order to the Court of Common Pleas; the State Medicaid agency prevailed; and the Company filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals. The Court’s mediator extended an invitation to the parties to mediate, which the Company accepted; however, the State Medicaid agency declined, and at that point, the Company withdrew the appeal. The State Medicaid agency then sent an invoice for the amount assessed in the audit, including interest. In December of 2009, the Company received a demand letter from Special Counsel retained by the Ohio Attorney General for principal plus penalties and interest. Outside counsel for the Company responded by contacting the Special Counsel’s office to convey that the facility had been closed for years and did not have any assets. The Special Counsel’s Office replied that they would have to review their file and get back to the Company’s outside counsel. In May of 2010, Oak Ridge’s counsel followed up with the Special Counsel’s Office, which informed Oak Ridge’s counsel that the claim had been returned to the Attorney General’s Office. The Attorney General’s Office has the option to pursue litigation to reduce the claim to a judgment; however, there are no assets of the subsidiary to satisfy any judgment that may be rendered.

In April 2006, the Company and one of its facilities were the recipients of a federal subpoena. The Company fully cooperated with the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s investigation and the parties worked on components of a model residential treatment program as a resolution of the investigation. In December 2008, the Assistant U.S. Attorney contacted the Company’s outside counsel, and informed him that the investigation was the product of a qui tam action filed under the Federal False Claims Act. Such cases are filed “under seal” and the defendants are not notified until the government officially intervenes in the case. In this instance, the Court directed the government to either settle this matter promptly, or intervene or decline to intervene, in which case the plaintiff could still proceed on his/her own; and the Court partially unsealed the case, so as to let the Company know it was the subject of a lawsuit. A settlement agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office was reached on April 22, 2009, which includes facets of a model residential treatment program; a partial re-payment of funding in three installments of $50,000 each, with the final installment to be paid in April of 2011; and various corporate integrity provisions commonly required by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General. As part of the integrity provisions, an independent review organization shall monitor the

 

F-66


Company for three years. The Company was notified by the U.S. Attorney’s Office on March 9, 2010 and by the independent review organization on March 10, 2010 that they had received complaints alleging compliance concerns which they intended to investigate. The matters were fully investigated internally and externally and resolved with no material financial effects. As of January 31, 2011, the independent review organization reported no issues of non-compliance. In late February of 2011, outside counsel for the Company contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office to verbally inform the government of the impending sale of the Company. During the call, the Assistant U.S. Attorney mentioned that he would be sending a letter or other communication on various matters, but he declined to indicate the anticipated substance of the correspondence or if there were specific concerns. The correspondence has not been received at this time.

On August 20, 2010, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) issued an Emergency Immediate Moratorium on Admissions to halt all residential treatment admissions due to regulatory deficiencies. Subsequently over a period of four months, AHCA issued a moratorium on admissions for two of the group homes; filed five administrative complaints seeking fines totaling $134,500 and revocation of licenses; and sent a notice of termination of the Medicaid Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) contract with Tampa Bay Academy, effective December 15, 2010, which was subsequently withdrawn to allow the Company to voluntarily terminate that contract. Outside counsel for Tampa Bay is in discussions with AHCA counsel on a potential settlement pertaining to the pending fines and license revocation actions. This facility has been closed (See Note 2).

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company has a qualified contributory savings plan (the “Plan”) as allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is available to all full-time and part-time employees meeting certain eligibility requirements and participants may defer up to 20% of their annual compensation, subject to limits, by contributing amounts to the Plan. At its election, the Company may make additional discretionary contributions to the plan on the employee’s behalf. The Company elected to make an additional discretionary contribution into the Plan in the amount of approximately $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 the Company elected to suspend its employer contribution.

A valuation allowance has been provided against the deferred tax assets due to uncertainties regarding the future realization of state net operating loss carryforwards.

Approximately $46,000 of the valuation allowance relates to tax benefits for stock option deductions included in the net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $7,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes attributable to continuing operations differs from the expected tax expense (benefit) amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to income from continuing operations before income taxes in 2008, 2009 and 2010, primarily as a result of the following:

F-68


The Company adopted current guidance which prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements and proposes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also provides direction on derecognizing and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the tax years 2007 and later by the Internal Revenue Service, and is subject to various state income tax examinations, with the exception of one state, for the tax years 2006 and later. The state income tax returns for the tax years 2007 and later remain subject to examination in the one state where audits have occurred.

The Company did not have unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 and does not expect this to change over the next twelve (12) months. In connection with the adoption of the guidance the Company will recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

10. CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred and Common Stock:

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 375,000,000 shares of capital stock designated as follows: (i) 270,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001, of which 90,000,000 shares have been designated as Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, 90,000,000 shares have been designated as Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock and 90,000,000 shares have been designated as Redeemable Preferred Stock, and (ii) 105,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001.

At December 31, 2008 81,801,853 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 85,398 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. 83,609,009 shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock and 85,398 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock:

The holders of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, compounded quarterly, at the rate of 2.5% of the original issue price of such stock. The Company recorded undeclared dividends, within equity, in the amount of approximately $2,264,000, $2,315,000 and $2,447,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively and at December 31, 2010, accrued undeclared dividends amounted to approximately $14,699,000.

Upon the election of the holders of two-thirds of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one (1) share of Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock and one (1) share of Redeemable Preferred Stock. Such conversion amounts are adjustable upon certain dilutive issuances. In addition, upon the completion of a qualified public offering by the Company, each share of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock is automatically converted as described above and all shares of outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock are redeemed for cash. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each holder of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference that is pari passu with the other preferred stock of the Company and senior to the Common Stock. Each holder of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock each holder would receive on an “as if converted basis.”

 

F-69


Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock:

Subject to the payment in full of all preferential dividends to the holders of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock and Redeemable Preferred Stock, the holders of Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive (on an as-converted and equal basis with the holders of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock) dividends in such amounts and at such times as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine in its sole discretion. Such dividends are not cumulative. Upon the election of the holders of two-thirds of the Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company. Such conversion amount is adjustable upon certain dilutive issuances.

Upon the completion of a qualified public offering by the Company, all shares of outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock (including shares issued upon the automatic conversion of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock as described above) are redeemed for cash. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each holder of Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference that is pari passu with the other preferred stock of the Company and senior to the Common Stock. Each holder of Series “B” Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock each holder would receive on an “as if converted basis.”

Redeemable Preferred Stock:

The holders of Redeemable Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, compounded quarterly, at the per share rate of 5% of the Redeemable Preferred Stock liquidation preference amount from the date of original issuance of such shares. The Redeemable Preferred Stock does not have a conversion feature. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control transactions (each, an “Extraordinary Transaction”), the holders of two-thirds of the Redeemable Preferred Stock may elect to have all of the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company or to otherwise participate in such Extraordinary Transaction. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each holder of Redeemable Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference that is pari passu with the other preferred stock of the Company and senior to the Common Stock. The holders of each outstanding share of Redeemable Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to vote and elect one Director and to remove such Director, with or without cause. The holders of Redeemable Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any other matters except as required by law.

No dividends may be declared or paid, and no shares of preferred stock may be redeemed until the Senior Secured and Senior Unsecured obligations of the Company have been paid in full.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

F-70


The Company has made certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger agreement, which generally expire on June 1, 2012, with certain fundamental representations surviving until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such representations.

The Parent and Merger Co have obtained equity and debt financing commitments for the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which proceeds will be sufficient to pay the aggregate merger consideration and all related fees and expenses. Additionally, upon consummation of the sale, approximately, $86.1 million of our Senior and Subordinated Debt is required to be paid off. Subsequent to year-end the Company made a principal payment of $1.8 million against its Term Loan. The receipt of financing on substantially the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such commitments is a condition to the consummation of the Merger.

The companies expect to close the transaction at the end of the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2011.

Executive Employment Agreements:

In 2004, the Company entered into employments agreement with our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”). Such employment agreements have been amended in connection with the Merger (the “Amendments”), with the Amendments becoming effective upon the consummation thereof.

In accordance with the appropriate guidance which establishes general standard of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued, the Company evaluated subsequent events through March 31, 2011, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no other material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2011

(unaudited)

Note A—The Company

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

Behavioral health treatment services, including two substance abuse treatment facilities: Highland Ridge Hospital, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, which also treats psychiatric patients, and Mount Regis Center, located in Salem, Virginia, and twelve psychiatric treatment locations which include Harbor Oaks Hospital, a 71-bed psychiatric hospital located in New Baltimore, Michigan, Detroit Behavioral Institute, a 66-bed residential facility located in Detroit, Michigan, Seven Hills Hospital, a 55-bed psychiatric hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada, MeadowWood Behavioral Health, a 58-bed psychiatric hospital in New Castle, Delaware and eight outpatient behavioral health locations (one in New Baltimore, Michigan operating in conjunction with Harbor Oaks Hospital, one in Monroeville, Pennsylvania operating as Wellplace, three in Las Vegas, Nevada operating as Harmony Healthcare and three locations operating as Pioneer Counseling Center in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area);

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

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

Note B—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“USGAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by USGAAP for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at June 30, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the June 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Registration Statement.

Estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent

 

F-75


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

Revenue Recognition

The Company bills for its inpatient behavioral healthcare services upon discharge and for its outpatient facilities daily. In all cases, the charges are contractually adjusted at the time of billing using adjustment factors based on agreements or contracts with the insurance carriers and the specific plans held by the individuals. This method may still require additional adjustment based on ancillary services provided and deductibles and copays due from the individuals which are estimated at the time of admission based on information received from the individual. Adjustments to these estimates are recognized as adjustments to revenue during the period identified, usually when payment is received.

The Company’s policy is to collect estimated co-payments and deductibles at the time of admission. Payments are made by way of cash, check or credit card. If the patient does not have sufficient resources to pay the estimated co-payment in advance, the Company’s policy is to allow payment to be made in three installments—one third due upon admission, one third due upon discharge and the balance due 30 days after discharge. At times, the patient is not physically or mentally stable enough to comprehend or agree to any financial arrangement. In this case, the Company will make arrangements with the patient once his or her condition is stabilized. At times, this situation will require the Company to extend payment arrangements beyond the three payment method previously outlined. Whenever extended payment arrangements are made, the patient, or the individual who is financially responsible for the patient, is required to sign a promissory note to the Company, which includes interest on the balance due.

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

Note C—Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has three active stock plans: a stock option plan, an employee stock purchase plan and a non-employee directors’ stock option plan.

The stock option plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,900,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to employees or nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and others whose efforts are important to the success of the Company. Subject to the provisions of this plan, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has the authority to select the optionees and determine the terms of the options including: (i) the number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms, (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option will not be less than the market price of the Class A common stock as of the date of grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock upon exercise of options.

The employee stock purchase plan provides for the purchase of Class A common stock at 85 percent of the fair market value at specific dates, to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees. A maximum of 500,000 shares may be issued under this plan.

The non-employee director’s stock option plan provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options automatically at the time of each annual meeting of the Board. Under the plan, a maximum of 350,000 shares

 

F-76


may be issued. Each outside director is granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Class A common stock, annually, at fair market value on the date of grant, vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant and expiring ten years from the grant date.

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Auditing Standards Codification (“ASC”)—“Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes the fair value of stock compensation as expense, over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of the Company’s stock compensation is accounted for as equity instruments and there have been no liability awards granted. Any income tax benefit related to stock compensation will be shown under the financing section of the statement of cash flows. Based on the Company’s historical voluntary turnover rates for individuals in the positions who received options in the period, there was no forfeiture rate assumed. It is assumed these options will remain outstanding for the full term of issue. Under the true-up provisions of ASC 718, a recovery of prior expense will be recorded if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated.

Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company recorded $30,149 and $37,397 of stock-based compensation on its consolidated condensed statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Company had the following activity in its stock option plans for the three months ended September 30, 2011:

The compensation cost related to the fair value of the options outstanding at September 30, 2011 of approximately $138,977 will be recognized as these options vest over the next three years.

 

F-77


The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock compensation granted. There were no options granted under the stock option plans for the three months ended September 30, 2011 or September 30, 2010.

Note D—Fair Value Measurements:

ASC 820-10-65, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. ASC 820-10-65 defines fair value based upon an exit price model. ASC 820-10-65 discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).

The statement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

   

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

   

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company had money market funds stated at fair market value of $585,250 and $516,573 at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively, that were measured using Level 1 inputs.

Note E—Business Segment Information

The Company’s behavioral health treatment services have similar economic characteristics, services, patients and clients. Accordingly, all behavioral health treatment services are reported on an aggregate basis under one segment. The Company’s segments are more fully described in Note A above. Residual income and expenses from closed facilities are included in the administrative services segment. The following summarizes the Company’s segment data:

Note F—Income Taxes

FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. ASC 740 required that a change in judgment related to prior years’ tax positions be recognized in the quarter of the change. The Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2011, we have not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Tax years 2006-2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing authorities to which we are subject.

Note G—Basic and Diluted Income Per Share:

Income per share is computed by dividing the income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of both classes of common stock outstanding for each fiscal year. Class B common stock has additional voting rights. All dilutive common stock equivalents are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share; however, since the Company experienced a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011, no additional common stock equivalents related to options or warrants were included since they would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, all dilutive common stock equivalents were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method.

 

F-79


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

The following table summarizes securities outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, but not included in the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because such shares are antidilutive:

Note H—Note Receivable

On November 13, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc., d/b/a Capstone Academy, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Capstone Academy”), purchased the rights under certain identified notes (the “Notes”) held by Bank of America and secured by the property leased by Capstone Academy for $1,250,000. The Notes were in default at the time of the purchase and the Company has initiated foreclosure proceedings in the courts. The Notes were purchased using cash flow from operations. The Company has recorded the value of the Notes in other receivables, current, in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the value of the Notes are fully recoverable based on the current value of the property securing the Notes. A Sheriff’s Sale of the property is scheduled for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Note I—Acquisition of MeadowWood

On July 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of MeadowWood Behavioral Health, a behavioral health facility located in New Castle, Delaware (“MeadowWood”) from Universal Health Services, Inc. (the “Seller”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2011, between the Company and the Seller (the “Purchase Agreement”). In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, PHC MeadowWood, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of the Company (“PHC MeadowWood”) acquired substantially all of the operating assets (other than cash) and assumed certain liabilities associated with MeadowWood. The purchase price was $21,500,000, and is subject to a working capital adjustment. At closing, PHC MeadowWood hired Seller’s employees currently employed at MeadowWood and assumed certain obligations with respect to those transferred employees. Also at closing, PHC MeadowWood and the Seller entered into a transition services agreement to facilitate the transition of the business. Transaction costs of approximately $684,000 were recorded as administrative expense during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

F-80


The consideration was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values as of the closing date of the MeadowWood acquisition. The purchase price consideration and allocation of purchase price was as follows:

 

 

 

Cash purchase price (subject to adjustment)

   $ 21,500,000   
  

 

 

 

Accounts Receivables (net)

   $ 1,796,781   

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

     97,134   

Land

     1,420,000

     7,700,300

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities

     (151,540
  

 

 

 
   $ 21,500,000   
  

 

 

 

 

 

The allocation of consideration paid for the acquired assets and liabilities of MeadowWood is based on management’s best preliminary estimates. The actual allocation of the amount of the consideration may differ from that reflected after a third party valuation and these procedures have been finalized.

The results of operations of MeadowWood are included in the Company’s operating results beginning July 1, 2011. The following presents the pro forma revenues, net income and net income per common share for three months ended September 30, 2010 of the Company’s acquisition of MeadowWood assuming the acquisition occurred as of July 1, 2009.

Note J—Financing Agreements

Also on July 1, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), and concurrently with the closing under the MeadowWood Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, arranger, book manager, collateral agent, and documentation agent for the Lenders, and as syndication agent and swingline lender, and Jefferies

 

F-81


Group, Inc., as issuing bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The terms of the Credit Agreement provide for (i) a $23,500,000 senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) up to $3,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), both of which were fully borrowed on the Closing Date in order to finance the MeadowWood purchase, to pay off the Company’s existing loan facility with CapitalSource Finance LLC, for miscellaneous costs, fees and expenses related to the Credit Agreement and the MeadowWood purchase, and for general working capital purposes. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $23,441,250 and $3,000,000 remain outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility mature on July 1, 2014 and require repayment of 0.25% of the principal amount of the Term Loan each quarter during the term. Interest on these loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was 7.75%. Under the agreement, the Company must maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the required covenants.

Note K—Merger with Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.

On May 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acadia”), and Acadia Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (the “Merger”).

On October 26, 2011, the shareholders of PHC, Inc. voted to approve the merger agreement. On November 1, 2011 the Merger agreement was finalized. Upon completion of the Merger, Acadia stockholders own approximately 77.5% of the combined company and PHC’s former stockholders own approximately 22.5% of the combined company.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date of this report and did not find any unrecorded reportable subsequent events, except as discussed in Note K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

PHC, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PHC, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An 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 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 PHC, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PHC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2011

NOTE A—THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Operations and business segments:

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

(1) Behavioral health treatment services, including two substance abuse treatment facilities: Highland Ridge Hospital, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, which also treats psychiatric patients, Mount Regis Center, located in Salem, Virginia and Renaissance Recovery and eleven psychiatric treatment locations which include Harbor Oaks Hospital, a 71-bed psychiatric hospital located in New Baltimore, Michigan, Detroit Behavioral Institute, a 66-bed residential facility in Detroit, Michigan, a 55-bed psychiatric hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada and eight outpatient behavioral health locations (one in New Baltimore, Michigan operating in conjunction with Harbor Oaks Hospital, three in Las Vegas, Nevada as Harmony Healthcare, three locations operating as Pioneer Counseling Center in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area) and one location in Pennsylvania operating as Wellplace;

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

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

Principles of consolidation:

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

Revenues and accounts receivable:

Patient care revenues and accounts receivable are recorded at established billing rates or at the amount realizable under agreements with third-party payors, including Medicaid and Medicare. Revenues under third-party payor agreements are subject to examination and contractual adjustment, and amounts realizable may

 

F-88


change due to periodic changes in the regulatory environment. Provisions for estimated third party payor settlements are provided in the period the related services are rendered. Differences between the amounts provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the period of settlement. Amounts due as a result of cost report settlements are recorded and listed separately on the consolidated balance sheets as “Other receivables”. The provision for contractual allowances is deducted directly from revenue and the net revenue amount is recorded as accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts does not include the contractual allowances.

Medicare reimbursements are based on established rates depending on the level of care provided and are adjusted prospectively. Effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2005, the prospective payment system (“PPS”) was brought into effect for all psychiatric services paid through the Medicare program. The new system changed the TEFRA-based (Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982) system to the new variable per diem-based system. The new rates are based on a statistical model that relates per diem resource use for beneficiaries to patient and facility characteristics available from “Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services” (“CMS’s”), administrative data base (cost reports and claims data). Patient-specific characteristics include, but are not limited to, principal diagnoses, comorbid conditions, and age. Facility specific variables include an area wage index, rural setting, and the extent of teaching activity. This change was phased in over three fiscal years with a percentage of payments being made at the old rates and a percentage at the new rates. The Company has been operating fully under PPS since fiscal 2009.

Although Medicare reimbursement rates are based 100% on PPS, the Company will continue to file cost reports annually as required by Medicare to determine ongoing rates and recoup any adjustments for Medicare bad debt. These cost reports are routinely audited on an annual basis. The Company believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any adjustments that might result from the outcome of Medicare audits. Approximately 27% of the Company’s total revenue is derived from Medicare and Medicaid payors for each of the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Differences between the amounts provided and subsequent settlements are recorded in operations in the year of the settlement. To date, settlement adjustments have not been material.

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

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

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

Charity care amounted to approximately $231,000 and $305,000 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Patient care revenue is presented net of charity care in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

F-89


The Company had accounts receivable from Medicaid and Medicare of approximately $3,447,240 at June 30, 2011 and $2,333,300 at June 30, 2010. Included in accounts receivable is approximately $1,212,460 and $1,255,000 in unbilled receivables at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts which reduces the stated value of receivables on the balance sheet. This allowance is calculated based on a percentage of each aged accounts receivable category beginning at 0-5% on current accounts and increasing incrementally for each additional 30 days the account remains outstanding until the account is over 300 days outstanding, at which time the provision is 100% of the outstanding balance. These percentages vary by facility based on each facility’s experience in and expectations for collecting older receivables. The Company compares this required reserve amount to the current “Allowance for doubtful accounts” to determine the required bad debt expense for the period. This method of determining the required “Allowance for doubtful accounts” has historically resulted in an allowance for doubtful accounts of 20% or greater of the total outstanding receivables balance, which the Company believes to be a reasonable valuation of its accounts receivable.

Estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include patient care billing rates, realizability of receivables from third-party payors, rates for Medicare and Medicaid, the realization of deferred tax benefits and the valuation of goodwill, which represents a significant portion of the estimates made by management.

Reliance on key clients:

The Company relies on contracts with more than ten clients to maintain patient census at its inpatient facilities and patients for our outpatient operations and our employee assistance programs. The loss of any of such contracts would impact the Company’s ability to meet its fixed costs. The Company has entered into relationships with large employers, health care institutions, insurance companies and labor unions to provide treatment for psychiatric disorders, chemical dependency and substance abuse in conjunction with employer sponsored employee assistance programs. The employees of such institutions may be referred to the Company for treatment, the cost of which is reimbursed on a per diem or per capita basis. Approximately 20% of the Company’s total revenue is derived from these clients for all periods presented. No one of these large employers, health care institutions or labor unions individually accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenues, but the loss of any of these clients would require the Company to expend considerable effort to replace patient referrals and would result in revenue and attendant losses.

Cash equivalents:

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

 

F-90


Property and equipment:

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

 

 

 

ASSETS

  

ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE

Buildings

  

39 years

Furniture and equipment

  

3 through 10 years

Motor vehicles

  

5 years

Leasehold improvements

  

Lesser of useful life or term of lease (2 to 10 years)

 

 

Other assets:

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

Long-lived assets:

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets, other than goodwill, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less costs to sell. The Company believes that the carrying value of its long-lived assets is fully realizable at June 30, 2011.

Fair Value Measurements:

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10-65, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. ASC 820-10-65 defines fair value based upon an exit price model. ASC 820-10-65 discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The statement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

   

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

   

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company had money market funds stated at fair market value, of $516,573 and $2,504,047 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, that were measured using Level 1 inputs.

 

F-91


Basic and diluted income per share:

Income per share is computed by dividing the income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of both classes of common stock outstanding for each fiscal year. Class B Common Stock has additional voting rights. All dilutive common stock equivalents have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 using the treasury stock method.

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

 

 

 

     YEARS ENDED JUNE 30,  
     2011      2010  

Weighted average shares outstanding—basic

     19,504,943         19,813,783   

Employee stock options and warrants

     282,518         101,171   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Weighted average shares outstanding—fully diluted

     19,787,461         19,914,954   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

The following table summarizes securities outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, but not included in the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because such shares are antidilutive:

 

 

 

     YEARS ENDED
JUNE 30,
 
     2011      2010  

Employee stock options

     502,250         921,500

Total

     865,250         1,264,500   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

The Company repurchased 173,495 and 414,057 shares of its Class A Common Stock during fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income taxes:

ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, prescribes an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company may establish reserves for tax uncertainties that reflect the use of the comprehensive model for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. Tax authorities periodically challenge certain transactions and deductions reported on our income tax returns. The Company does not expect the outcome of these examinations, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Comprehensive income:

The Company’s comprehensive income is equal to its net income for all periods presented.

 

F-92


Stock-based compensation:

The Company issues stock options to its employees and directors and provides employees the right to purchase stock pursuant to stockholder approved stock option and stock purchase plans. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”.

Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes the fair value of stock compensation in net income (loss), over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of the Company’s stock based awards are accounted for as equity instruments.

Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company recorded $164,916 and $221,404 of stock-based compensation in its consolidated statements of income for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which is included in administrative expenses as follows:

 

 

 

     YEAR ENDED
JUNE  30,
2011
     YEAR ENDED
JUNE  30,
2010
 

Directors fees

   $ 75,845       $ 63,870   

Employee compensation

     89,071         157,534   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total

   $ 164,916       $ 221,404   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation. The weighted-average grant date fair values of the options granted under the stock option plans of $1.15 and $0.63 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were calculated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

 

 

     YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
     2011   2010

Risk free interest rate

   2.50%   2.30% - 3.48%

Expected dividend yield

    

Expected lives

   5 - 10 years   5 - 10 years

Expected volatility

   61.61% - 72.06%   60.66% - 61.63%

 

 

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

Based on the Company’s historical voluntary turnover rates for individuals in the positions who received options, there was no forfeiture rate assessed. It is assumed these options will remain outstanding for the full term of issue. Under the true-up provisions of ASC 718, a recovery of prior expense will be recorded if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated or additional expense if the forfeiture rate is lower than estimated. To date, any required true-ups have not been material.

In August 2010, 7,679 shares of common stock were issued under the employee stock purchase plan. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,304. In March 2011, 6,402 shares of common stock were issued under the employee stock purchase plan. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,216.

 

F-93


As of June 30, 2011, there was $168,117 in unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under existing stock option plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over the next three years.

Advertising Expenses:

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $167,549 and $136,183, respectively.

Subsequent Events:

The Company has evaluated material subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report and we have included all such disclosures in the accompanying footnotes. (See Note P).

Reclassifications:

Certain June 30, 2010 balance sheet amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the June 30, 2011 presentation, which affect certain balance sheet classifications only.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

Recently Adopted Standards

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades, or ASU 2010-13. ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition, or ASU 2010-17. ASU 2010-17 allows the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition methodology when an arrangement includes substantive milestones. ASU 2010-17 provides a definition of substantive milestone, and should be applied regardless of whether the arrangement includes single or multiple deliverables or units of accounting. ASU 2010-17 is limited to transactions involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables. ASU 2010-17 also includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about substantive milestones, and factors considered in the determination. ASU 2010-17 is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Credit Derivatives, or ASU 2010-11. ASU 2010-11 clarifies that embedded credit-derivative features related only to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting. ASU 2010-11 also provides guidance on whether embedded credit-derivative features in financial instruments issued by structures such as collateralized debt obligations are subject to bifurcations and separate accounting. ASU 2010-11 is effective at the beginning of a company’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

F-94


Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, or ASU 2011-05. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity, as defined by Topic 805 Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-A. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-07, Healthcare Entities (Topic 954), which requires healthcare organizations that perform services for patients for which the ultimate collection of all or a portion of the amounts billed or billable cannot be determined at the time services are rendered to present all bad debt expense associated with patient service revenue as an offset to the patient service revenue line item in the statement of operations. The ASU also requires qualitative disclosures about the Company’s policy for recognizing revenue and bad debt expense for patient service transactions and quantitative information about the effects of changes in the assessment of collectibility of patient service revenue. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2013. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial position.

NOTE B—NOTE RECEIVABLE

On November 13, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary, Detroit Behavioral Institute, Inc., d/b/a Capstone Academy, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Capstone Academy”), purchased the rights under certain identified notes (the “Notes”) held by Bank of America and secured by the property leased by Capstone Academy for $1,250,000. The Notes were in default at the time of the purchase and the Company has initiated foreclosure proceedings in the courts. The Notes were purchased using cash flow from operations. The Company has recorded the value of the Notes in other receivables, current of $1,124,240, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the value of the Notes are fully recoverable based on the current value of the property securing the Notes.

NOTE C—OTHER EXPENSE

During the current fiscal year, the Company identified a failure with respect to prior year Average Deferral Percentage (“ADP”) and Actual Contribution Percentage (“ACP”) testing in the 401(k) plan. The Company does not consider this to be a material operational failure and is correcting by filing under the IRS’ Employee Plans Compliance Resolution Program (Rev Proc 2008-50), with the assistance of counsel. During the fiscal year 2011, the Company determined that approximately $185,000 will be the non-voluntary contribution to the 401(k) plan required by the IRS in connection with this compliance failure and recorded this expense as other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

NOTE E—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

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

 

F-96


ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires, among other things, that companies not amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, ASC 350 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.

The Company’s goodwill of $969,098 relating to the treatment services reporting unit of the Company was evaluated under ASC 350 as of June 30, 2011. As a result of the evaluation, the Company determined that no impairment exists related to the goodwill associated with the treatment services reporting unit. The Company will continue to test goodwill for impairment, at least annually, in accordance with the guidelines of ASC 350. There were no changes to the goodwill balance during fiscal 2011 or 2010.

NOTE F—OTHER ASSETS

Included in other assets are investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2011, this includes the Company’s investment in Seven Hills Psych Center, LLC of $302,244 (this LLC holds the assets of the Seven Hills Hospital which is being leased by a subsidiary of the Company) and the Company’s investment in Behavioral Health Partners, LLC, of $687,972 (this LLC holds the assets of an out-patient clinic which is being leased by PHC of Nevada, Inc, the Company’s outpatient operations in Las Vegas, Nevada).

During fiscal 2011, the Company incurred approximately $1,607,700 of transaction costs associated with the MeadowWood acquisition and the Acadia merger (See Note P). The Company has disallowed these costs for tax purposes.

The Company adopted certain provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes” on July 1, 2007 as it relates to uncertain tax positions. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has not recorded any provisions for uncertain tax positions or for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Tax years 2006-2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing authorities to which the Company is subject.

Litigation:

During the current fiscal year, the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld an appeal involving the company and a terminated employee requiring the Company to pay $446,320, which included accrued interest, to the terminated employee to satisfy this judgment. This amount is shown as a legal settlement expense in the accompanying statements of income for the year ended June 30, 2011.

On June 2, 2011, a putative stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in Massachusetts state court, MAZ Partners LP v. Bruce A. Shear, et al., C.A. No. 11-1041, against the Company, the members of the Company’s board of directors, and Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. The MAZ Partners complaint asserts that the members of the Company’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Company to enter into the merger agreement and further asserts that Acadia aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. Specifically, the MAZ Partners complaint alleged that the process by which the merger agreement was entered into was unfair and that the agreement itself is unfair in that, according to the plaintiff, the compensation to be paid to the Company’s Class A shareholders is inadequate, particularly in light of the proposed cash payment to be paid to Class B shareholders and the anticipated pre-closing payment of a dividend to Arcadia shareholders and the anticipated level of debt to be held by the merged entity. The complaint sought, among other relief, an order enjoining the consummation of the merger and rescinding the merger agreement.

On June 13, 2011, a second lawsuit was filed in federal district court in Massachusetts, Blakeslee v. PHC, Inc., et al., No. 11-cv-11049, making essentially the same allegations against the same defendants. On June 21, 2011, the Company removed the MAZ Partners case to federal court (11-cv-11099). On July 7, 2011, the parties to the MAZ Partners case moved to consolidate that action with the Blakeslee case and asked the court to approve a schedule for discovery and a potential hearing on plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction.

On August 11, 2011, the plaintiffs in the MAZ Partners case filed an amended class action complaint. Like the original complaint, the amended complaint asserts claims of breach of fiduciary duty against the Company, members of the Company’s board of directors, and claims of aiding and abetting those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty against Acadia. The amended complaint alleges that both the merger process and the provisions of the merger are unfair, that the directors and executive officers of the Company have conflicts of interests with regard to the merger, that the dividend to be paid to Acadia shareholders is inappropriate, that a special committee or independent director should have been appointed to represent the interest of the Class A shareholders, that the merger consideration is grossly inadequate and the exchange ratio is unfair, and that the preliminary proxy filed by the Company contains material misstatements and omissions. The amended complaint also seeks, among other things, an order enjoining the consummation of the merger and rescinding the merger agreement.

PHC and Acadia believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. PHC and Acadia have recently filed motions to dismiss in each case. Regardless of the disposition of the motions to dismiss, PHC and Acadia do not anticipate the outcome to have a material impact on the progress of the merger.

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

NOTE L—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK PLANS

Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors is authorized, without further action of the shareholders, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares in one or more classes or series and to determine, with respect to any series so established, the

 

F-102


preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights of the established class or series, which rights may be in preference to the rights of common stock. No shares of the Company’s preferred stock are currently issued.

Common Stock

The Company has authorized two classes of common stock, the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock. Subject to preferential rights in favor of the holders of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. Holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are entitled to share equally in such dividends, except that stock dividends (which shall be at the same rate) shall be payable only in Class A Common Stock to holders of Class A Common Stock and only in Class B Common Stock to holders of Class B Common Stock.

Class A Common Stock

The Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share with respect to all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote, except as otherwise required by law and except that the holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to elect two members to the Company’s Board of Directors.

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

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

Class B Common Stock

The Class B Common Stock is entitled to five votes per share with respect to all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote, except as otherwise required by law and except that the holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to elect two members to the Company’s Board of Directors. The holders of the Class B Common Stock are entitled to elect all of the remaining members of the Board of Directors.

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

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

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

Stock Plans

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

The stock option plan, dated December 2003 and expiring in December 2013, as amended in October 2007, provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options to employees or nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, consultants and others whose efforts are important to the success of the Company. Subject to the provisions of this plan, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors has the authority to select the

 

F-103


optionees and determine the terms of the options including: (i) the number of shares, (ii) option exercise terms, (iii) the exercise or purchase price (which in the case of an incentive stock option will not be less than the market price of the Class A Common Stock as of the date of grant), (iv) type and duration of transfer or other restrictions and (v) the time and form of payment for restricted stock upon exercise of options. As of June 30, 2011, 1,714,500 options were granted under this plan, of which 754,563 expired leaving 940,063 options available for grant under this plan.

On October 18, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to provide employees who work in excess of 20 hours per week and more than five months per year rights to elect to participate in an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), which became effective February 1, 1996. The price per share shall be the lesser of 85% of the average of the bid and ask price on the first day of the plan period or the last day of the plan period to encourage stock ownership by all eligible employees. The plan was amended on December 19, 2001 and December 19, 2002 to allow for a total of 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued under the plan. Before its expiration on October 18, 2005, 157,034 shares were issued under the plan. On January 31, 2006 the stockholders approved a replacement Employee Stock Purchase Plan to replace the 1995 plan. A maximum of 500,000 shares may be issued under the January 2006 plan (the “2006 Plan”). The new plan is identical to the old plan and expires on January 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2011, 71,936 shares have been issued under this plan. During fiscal 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a new offering for a six month contribution term instead of the former one year term. At June 30, 2011, there were 428,064 shares available for issue under the 2006 Plan.

The non-employee directors’ stock option plan provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options automatically at the time of each annual meeting of the Board. Under this plan, a maximum of 950,000 shares may be issued. Each outside director is granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Class A Common Stock annually at fair market value on the date of grant, vesting 25% immediately and 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant and expiring ten years from the grant date. As of June 30, 2011, a total of 420,000 options were issued under the plan and there were 530,000 options available for grant under this plan.

NOTE P—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

MeadowWood Acquisition

On July 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of MeadowWood Behavioral Health, a behavioral health facility located in New Castle, Delaware (“MeadowWood”) from Universal Health Services, Inc. (the “Seller”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2011, between the Company and the Seller (the “Purchase Agreement”). In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, PHC MeadowWood, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of the Company (“PHC MeadowWood”) acquired substantially all of the operating assets (other than cash) and assumed certain liabilities associated with MeadowWood. The purchase price was $21,500,000, and is subject to a working capital adjustment. At closing, PHC MeadowWood hired Seller’s employees currently employed at MeadowWood and assumed certain obligations with respect to those transferred employees. Also at closing, PHC MeadowWood and the Seller entered into a transition services agreement to facilitate the transition of the business.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded based on their relative fair values as of the closing date of the MeadowWood acquisition. The estimated purchase price and fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows:

This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition actually taken place at the dates indicated and do not purport to be indicative of future position or operating results.

Also on July 1, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), and concurrently with the closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, arranger, book manager, collateral agent, and documentation agent for the Lenders, and as syndication agent and swingline lender, and Jefferies Group, Inc., as issuing bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The terms of the Credit Agreement provide for (i) a $23,500,000 senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) up to $3,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), both of which were fully borrowed on the Closing Date in order to finance the MeadowWood purchase, to pay off the Company’s existing loan facility with CapitalSource Finance LLC, for miscellaneous costs, fees and expenses related to the Credit Agreement and the MeadowWood purchase, and for general working capital purposes.

 

F-109


The Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility mature on July 1, 2014, and 0.25% of the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility will be required to be repaid each quarter during the term. The Company’s current and future subsidiaries are required to jointly and severally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the Company and its subsidiaries’ obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of their assets.

Acadia Merger

In addition, on May 23, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acadia”), and Acadia Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (the “Merger”). Upon the completion of the Merger, Acadia stockholders will own approximately 77.5% of the combined company and PHC’s stockholders will own approximately 22.5% of the combined company. The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Acadia operates a network of 19 behavioral health facilities with more than 1,700 beds in 13 states. (For additional information regarding this transaction, please see our report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2011 and our preliminary proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2011).

Subsequent to year end, in connection with the proposed transaction, Acadia filed with the SEC a registration statement that containing the proxy statement concurrently filed by PHC which will constitute an Acadia prospectus.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Parent of HHC Delaware, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HHC Delaware, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (Predecessor), and the related consolidated statements of operations, invested equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period from November 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 1, 2010 to November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 (Predecessor periods). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of HHC Delaware, Inc. and Subsidiary at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (Predecessor), and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the period from November 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 1, 2010 to November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 (Predecessor periods) in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2010

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

HHC Delaware, Inc. (“MeadowWood”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and operates a behavioral health care facility known as MeadowWood Behavioral Health System located at 575 South DuPont Highway, New Castle, Delaware. HHC Delaware, Inc. is the sole member of Delaware Investment Associates, LLC (“MeadowWood Real Estate”), which owns the real estate located at 575 South DuPont Highway, New Castle, Delaware. Collectively, MeadowWood and MeadowWood Real Estate are hereinafter referred to as the Company. On November 15, 2010, UHS completed the acquisition of Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. (“PSI”), the previous owner of the Company. References herein to the Parent refer to PSI for periods prior to the acquisition by UHS and refer to UHS for all post-acquisition periods.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of the Company.

Patient Service Revenue

Patient service revenue is recorded on the accrual basis in the period in which services are provided, at established billing rates less contractual adjustments. Contractual adjustments are recorded to state patient service revenue at the amount expected to be collected for the services provided based on amounts reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid under provisions of cost or prospective reimbursement formulas or amounts due from other third-party payors at contractually determined rates. Approximately 30%, 27% and 19% of revenue for the period November 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010, and the predecessor periods of January 1, 2010 through November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively, was obtained from providing services to patients participating in the Medicaid program. Approximately 41%, 40% and 44% of revenue for the period November 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010, and the predecessor periods of January 1, 2010 through November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively, was obtained from providing services to patients participating in the Medicare program.

Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often occur in subsequent years because of audits by such programs, rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical provisions.

The Company provides care without charge to patients who are financially unable to pay for the health care services they receive. Because the Company does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, these amounts are not reported as revenue. Charity care totaled $55,415, $194,121, and $177,570 for the period ended November 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010 and the predecessor periods January 1, 2010 through November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

HHC DELAWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Parent established, for the Company, zero balancing depository, payables and payroll bank accounts which are swept or funded by the Parent. The Hospital’s consolidated financial statement balance for these bank accounts generally represents deposits not yet swept to the Parent. See Note 2.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is comprised of patient service revenue and is recorded net of allowances for contractual discounts and estimated doubtful accounts. Such amounts are owed by various governmental agencies, insurance companies and private patients. Medicare comprised approximately 20% and 19% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009 (Predecessor), respectively. Medicaid comprised approximately 19% and 18% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009 (Predecessor), respectively. Concentration of credit risk from other payors is reduced by the large number of patients and payors.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The ability to collect outstanding patient receivables from third party payors is critical to operating performance and cash flows. The primary collection risk with regard to patient receivables relates to uninsured patient accounts or patient accounts for which primary insurance has paid, but the portion owed by the patient remains outstanding. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age of the accounts since the patient discharge date. The Company continually monitors our accounts receivable balances and utilizes cash collection data to support our estimates of the provision for doubtful accounts. Significant changes in payor mix or business office operations could have a significant impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

Allowances for Contractual Discounts

The Medicare and Medicaid regulations are complex and various managed care contracts may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided and cost settlement provisions requiring complex calculations and assumptions subject to interpretation. The Company estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given our interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently necessitating continual review and assessment of the estimation process by the Company’s management.

Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated return of UHS and, through an agreement with the Parent, account for their share of the consolidated tax obligations using an “as if separate return” methodology. In that regard, the Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance regarding accounting for income taxes and its related uncertainty. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income to determine whether a valuation allowance should be established.

HHC DELAWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 25 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 2 to 7 years for equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense was $39,849, $268,232 and $292,689 for the period November 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the predecessor periods January 1, 2010 through November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of assets recorded under capital leases.

Other Assets

Other assets represent cash placed in escrow for the payment of property taxes as such amounts become due.

Costs in Excess of Net Assets Acquired (Goodwill)

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Potential impairment exists if the Company’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. If the Company identifies a potential impairment of goodwill, the implied fair value of goodwill is determined. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded. The Company noted no goodwill impairment for any periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

During 2010, goodwill increased by approximately $7.4 million as a result of the acquisition of PSI (including the Company) by UHS effective November 15, 2010.

2. Due to Parent

Cash Management

Due to Parent balances represent the initial capitalization of the Company as well as the excess of funds transferred to or paid on behalf of the Company over funds transferred to the centralized cash management account of the Parent. Generally, this balance is increased by automatic transfers from the account to reimburse the Company’s bank accounts for operating expenses and to pay the Company’s debt, completed construction project additions, fees and services provided by the Parent, including information systems services and other operating expenses such as payroll, insurance, and income taxes. Generally, this balance is decreased through daily cash deposits by the Company to the centralized cash management account of the Parent. The following paragraphs more fully describe the methodology of allocating costs to the Company.

Management Fees

The Parent allocates its corporate office expenses (excluding interest, depreciation, taxes, and amortization) to its owned and leased facilities (including the Company) as management fees. These management fees are allocated based upon the proportion of an individual facility’s total expenses to the total expenses of all owned and leased facilities in the aggregate. Management fees allocated to the Company for the period from November 16, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the predecessor periods from January 1, 2010 to November 15, 2010, and for the year ended December 31, 2009, were $47,556, $382,427, and $464,429,

 

F-117


HHC DELAWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

respectively. Although management considers the allocation method to be reasonable, due to the relationship between the Company and its Parent, the terms of the allocation may not necessarily be indicative of that which would have resulted had the Company been an unrelated entity.

Information Technology Costs

Costs of information technology related to certain standard Parent sponsored information technology platforms are included in the management fee allocation.

General and Professional Liability Risks

The costs of general and professional liability coverage are allocated by the Parent’s wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary to the Company based on a percentage of revenue adjusted by a factor which considers the type of entity as well as historical loss experience. The general and professional liability expense allocated to the Company was $20,380, $136,587, and $146,614 for the period November 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010, and the predecessor periods January 1, 2010 through November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

Workers’ Compensation Risks

The Parent, on behalf of its affiliates, carries workers’ compensation insurance from an unrelated commercial insurance carrier. The Parent’s workers’ compensation program is fully insured with a $500,000 deductible per accident. The cost of this program is allocated to all covered affiliates based on a percentage of anticipated payroll costs as adjusted for the state in which the affiliate is located. Such costs allocated to the Company totaled $15,378, $108,308 and $105,557 for the period November 16, 2010 through December 31, 2010, and the predecessor periods January 1, 2010 through November 15, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

3. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Parent assumes the responsibility for all general and professional liability claims incurred and maintains the related liabilities; accordingly, no liability for general and professional claims is recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will be adequately covered by insurance and will not have a material adverse effect on their financial position or results of operations.

The Parent’s interest in the Company has been pledged as collateral for the Parent’s borrowings under various credit agreements.

Current Operations

Final determination of amounts earned under prospective payment and cost-reimbursement arrangements is subject to review by appropriate governmental authorities or their agents. The Company believes adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from such reviews.

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations

 

F-118


HHC DELAWARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

and is not aware of any material pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing. While no material regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Mortgage Loans

At December 31, 2010, the Company had $6,662,010 debt outstanding under a mortgage loan agreement insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Registrants incorporated or organized under the laws of the State of Delaware

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. and the following registrants are corporations incorporated in the State of Delaware: Acadia - YFCS Holdings, Inc., Acadia Management Company, Inc., PHC MeadowWood, Inc., Psychiatric Resource Partners, Inc. and Seven Hills Hospital, Inc.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), as amended, allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware law or obtained an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, agent or employee of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, agent or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies (i) if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (ii) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of liability to the corporation, unless the court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.

Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, will be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

The certificate of incorporation of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the directors of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. and its stockholders. This provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

 

II-1


The bylaws of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. provide that Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and require Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. to advance litigation expenses upon receipt of an undertaking by a director or officer to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification. The indemnification provisions contained in the bylaws of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

In addition, Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. has entered into employment agreements with certain of its directors and officers, which provide indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws. These employment agreements, among other things, indemnify some of its directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such person in any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in such director’s or officer’s capacity.

The certificates of incorporation of Acadia Management Company, Inc. and Psychiatric Resource Partners, Inc. provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the directors of those registrants shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to the registrants and their stockholders. The certificate of incorporation of Psychiatric Resource Partners, Inc. also provides that such registrant must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and requires such registrant to advance litigation expenses.

The bylaws of Acadia Management Company, Inc., Acadia - YFCS Holdings, Inc. and Psychiatric Resource Partners, Inc. provide that, in effect, those registrants must indemnify their directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and under the circumstances permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL and require such registrants to advance litigation expenses.

Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

The limited liability company agreements of Acadia Abilene, LLC, Acadia Hospital of Lafayette, LLC, Acadia Hospital of Longview, LLC, Acadia Louisiana, LLC, Acadia RiverWoods, LLC, Acadia Village, LLC and Lakeview Behavioral Health System LLC provide that such registrants shall indemnify each manager, member or officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification for negligence, gross negligence and breach of fiduciary duty to the extent so authorized. The operating agreement of Suncoast Behavioral, LLC provides that its member shall not have any personal liability for any obligations or liabilities of the company and that the company shall indemnify any officer against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such officer in connection with an action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer of the company.

Section 10-851 of the ARS also permits a corporation to indemnify a director made a party to a proceeding because the director engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation pursuant to Section 10-202, subsection B, paragraph 2 of the ARS. A corporation may not indemnify a director under Section 10-851 of the ARS either (i) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or (ii) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper financial benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that financial benefit was improperly received by the director. Indemnification permitted under this section in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, Section 10-852 of the ARS requires an Arizona corporation to indemnify a director who has prevailed, on the merits or otherwise, in defending any proceeding brought against the director because such person is or was a director of the corporation. The corporation must indemnify the director for reasonable expenses.

Section 10-856 of the ARS provides that an Arizona corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director or, for officers who are not directors, to such further extent as may be provided by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors or contract except for (i) liability in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation other than for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and (ii) liability arising out of conduct that constitutes (a) receipt by the officer of a financial benefit to which the officer is not entitled, (b) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholder or (c) an intentional violation of criminal law.

The articles of incorporation of Southwestern Children’s Health Services, Inc. provide that a director of such registrant shall not be liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken, or for any failure to take any action, as a director, except liability arising out of (i) any appropriation, in violation of the director’s duties, of any business opportunity of the corporation, (ii) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) voting for or assenting to an unlawful distribution in violation of Arizona law or (iv) any transaction from which the director received an improper personal benefit. In addition, the bylaws of Southwestern Children’s Health Services, Inc. provide that, subject to any limitations under Arizona law, the registrant shall indemnify a former or current director or officer made a party to a proceeding against liability if the individual acted in good faith and (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, the individual acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, (ii) in all other cases, the individual’s conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, (iii) with respect to any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The power to indemnify applies (i) if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (ii) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 4-27-850(c) of the ABCA provides that, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her.

Section 4-27-850(e) of the ABCA provides that expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized under Arkansas law.

The articles of incorporation of Ascent Acquisition Corporation, Ascent Acquisition Corporation - CYPDC and Ascent Acquisition Corporation - PSC provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Arkansas law, the directors of those registrants shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to the registrants and their stockholders.

The following registrants are corporations incorporated in the State of Florida: PsychSolutions Acquisition Corporation, PsychSolutions, Inc. and Youth and Family Centered Services of Florida, Inc.

Section 607.0831 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”) provides, among other things, that a director is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act, by the director, regarding corporate management or policy, unless the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and such breach or failure constitutes (i) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, (ii) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, (iii) a circumstance in which the director voted for or assented to an unlawful distribution under Florida law, (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interest of the company in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the company to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a stockholder, or (v) recklessness or an act or omission in bad faith or with malicious purpose or with wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety or property, in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the company or its stockholders.

Section 607.0850 of the FBCA authorizes, among other things, a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability incurred in connection with such proceedings, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of liability to the corporation, unless the court believes that in view of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. To the extent that a director, officer or employee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding, Section 607.0850 of the FBCA requires that he or she be indemnified for actual and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred.

Item 22. Undertakings

 

  (a) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:

(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  i. to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

 

II-18


  ii. to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  iii. to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) that for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;

(5) that for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  i. any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  ii. any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  iii. the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  iv. any other communications that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser; and

 

II-19


(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(b) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(c) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
