Notes to Financial Statements

 

March 31, 2003 and 2002

(Unaudited)

 

1. Description of the Business

 

Alliance HealthCard, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on September 30, 1998 to provide comprehensive health-care services through provider networks at discounts to patients for services not covered by their health insurance. The Company was formed as a limited liability corporation and was reorganized into a Georgia corporation in February 1999.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by management of the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited financial information furnished herein in the opinion of management reflects all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2002. Footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in those documents, have been omitted.

 

Net loss per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share.” Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 because the Company’s potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive in such periods.

 

3.   Sale of Unregistered Securities

 

The Company issued an Offering Memorandum on December 15, 2000, pursuant to the exemption set forth in Regulation D, Rule 506, for the sale of 333,333 Units of its securities at a price of $4.50 per Unit, with each Unit being comprised of three shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value plus one Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at $1.50 per share. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had sold a total of 346,378 Units of its Common Stock at $4.50 per Unit for an aggregate amount of $1,558,703.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

General

 

The Company was founded in September 1998 as a limited liability company and reorganized into a Georgia corporation in February 1999. The Company is not an insurance provider, but is a provider of an innovative membership organization that receives discounts on cash purchases of healthcare-related products and services from networks of providers. Alliance offers its programs to consumers who are underinsured, uninsured and to individuals who participate in employer sponsored health plans that provide primary health insurance, but do not provide insurance coverage for certain other healthcare-related services and products. The Company began sales of its membership cards in November 1999.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three   Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002

 

Net revenues for the Company increased from $175,802 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $1,040,232 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in co-branded cards issued under the contract with CVS Pharmacy, Inc. accounted for 46% of the increase. The State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company accounted for 50% of the increase. The Ascent Management, Inc. contract accounted for 11% of the increase but this increase was nearly offset by the decrease in Bankers Fidelity revenue resulting from a revenue accrual adjustment for the quarter ending December 31, 2002.

 

Gross profit increased $420,095 to $395,997 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from a loss of $24,098 for the quarter ending March 31, 2002. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to an increase in net revenues from the CVS and State Farm contracts. This increase was partially offset by decreased gross profits from the Bankers Fidelity and Ascent Management contracts.

 

Marketing and sales expenses increased to $336,133 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $98,916 in the same prior year period primarily due to additional CVS co-branded cards issued. The additional cards resulted in increased royalty expenses pursuant to the CVS contract.

 

General and administrative expenses increased to $360,467 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $281,305 in the same prior year period. The increase of $79,162 was attributable to the following: (a) compensation expense of $77,636 for additional and existing personnel and (b) an increase of $1,526 for general office expenses including rent, telephone and other office expenses associated with the additional personnel.

 

Interest expense increased to $6,032 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $3,993 for the same prior year quarter due to an increase in the principal balance on the line of credit since March 2002.

 

The Company reported a net loss of $193,884 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to a loss of $408,312 for the same prior year period. The decrease of $214,428 resulted from the increase in gross profits related to the CVS and State Farm contracts that were partially offset by the increase in marketing and sales, and general administrative expenses as discussed above.

Table of Contents

 

Six Months Ended Mach 31, 2003 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2002

 

Net revenues for the Company increased $1,852,859 to $2,100,603 for the six months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in co-branded cards issued under the contract with CVS Pharmacy, Inc. accounted for 51% of the increase. The State Farm contract accounted for 43% of the increase. The contract with Ascent Management accounted for the remaining 6% of the increase.

 

Gross profit increased $1,080,341 to $952,451 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 from a loss of $127,890 for the same six-month period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to an increase in net revenues from the CVS and State Farm contracts offset slightly by lower gross profits from the Bankers Fidelity and Ascent Management contracts.

 

Marketing and sales expenses increased to $737,242 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 from $157,204 in the same prior year period primarily due to additional CVS co-branded cards. The additional cards resulted in increased royalty expenses pursuant to the CVS contract.

 

General and administrative expenses increased to $745,404 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 from $510,700 in the same prior year period. The increase of $234,704 was attributable to the following: (a) compensation expense of $201,559 for additional and existing personnel, and (b) an increase of $33,145 for general office expenses including rent, telephone and other office expenses associated with the additional personnel.

 

Other income increased $112,750 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 as a result of compensation received from CVS Pharmacy, Inc. representing payment of expenses incurred by the Company in 2002 associated with a direct mail campaign related to the CVS Pharmacy, Inc. contract.

 

Interest expense, net increased to $13,240 for the six months ended March 31, 2003, due to an increase in the principal balance on the line of credit since March 2002.

 

The Company reported a net loss of $430,685 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $805,219 for the same prior year period. The lower net loss resulted from the increase in gross profits related to the CVS and State Farm contracts that were partially offset by the increase in marketing and sales, and general administrative expenses as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s operations used cash of $792,200 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 as a result of the following: a) a net loss of $430,685; b) an increase in accounts receivable of 265,670 with the CVS contract accounting for nearly the entire increase; and c) a decrease in other liabilities of $570,392 which was primarily the result of a decrease in deferred revenue of $541,682 related to the State Farm and CVS contracts. Membership fees are generally paid to the Company on a monthly or annual basis. Membership fees paid in advance on an annual basis are recognized monthly over the applicable twelve-month membership term.

 

The Company’s net working capital decreased $387,039 to $(1,648,277) during the six months ended March 31, 2003 from $(1,261,238) at September 30, 2002. The decrease in working capital was primarily caused by a net loss of $430,685 for the six months ended March 31, 2003.

 

The Company’s financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2003 used cash of $46,540 primarily for the repayment of a promissory note issued on September 30, 2002.

 

On October 22, 2002 the Company extended its credit agreement with SunTrust Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. The agreement provides the Company with a $500,000 working capital facility secured by personal guaranties from certain officers and directors of the Company who received common stock options in exchange for their guaranties. The credit agreement matured on

Table of Contents

 

April 22, 2003 and bears an interest rate of 5.25% per annum. The principal balance plus accrued interest, remains unpaid as of May 15, 2003. The Company is in the process of securing a ninety-day extension on the credit agreement and is also actively pursuing an alternative working capital facility. The new working capital facility will continue to be used to provide on-going capital to fund the implementation of new contracts and general corporate operations. The Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of its product offerings and competing market developments. The Company intends to fund its ongoing development and operations through a combination of sales through the four existing contracts and potential new contracts. If the Company fails to successfully develop a market through the healthcare provider, institutional and retail distribution models, the Company may not be able to successfully implement its business plan to the fullest extent during the next twelve months.

 

The Company may be profitable in its fourth fiscal quarter of 2003 if additional new business is identified, closed and comes on stream on the planned dates and at the expected implementation costs. Alliance is still an emerging company and very sensitive to the timing of new business implementations and staying within their implementation budgets, especially accounts bringing a large number of new cardholders such as State Farm.
