PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe
harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage management to provide
prospective information about their companies without fear of litigation so long
as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by
meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statements.
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K annual report, including, without
limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "will",
"may", "might", and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of this "safe harbor."
Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current
expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors, many of which the Company is unable to predict or control, that may
cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. See "Item 1.
Business--Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.
GENERAL
United American Healthcare Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated
in Michigan on December 1, 1983 and commenced operations in May 1985. Unless the
context otherwise requires, all references to the Company indicated herein shall
mean United American Healthcare Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company provides comprehensive management and consulting services
to managed care organizations, including health maintenance organizations in
Tennessee, 75% owned by the Company, in Michigan and, until February 26, 1998,
in Florida. The Company also arranges for the financing of health care services
and delivery of these services by primary care physicians and specialists,
hospitals, pharmacies and other ancillary providers to commercial employer
groups and government sponsored populations in Tennessee, Michigan and, until
February 26, 1998, Florida. Management and consulting services provided by the
Company are generally to health maintenance organizations with a targeted mix of
Medicaid and non-Medicaid/commercial enrollment. As of September 1, 1999, there
were approximately 137,000 enrollees in the managed care organizations owned or
operated by the Company.

4
Management and consulting services provided by the Company include
feasibility studies for licensure, strategic planning, corporate governance,
management information systems, human resources, marketing, precertification,
utilization review programs, individual case management, budgeting, provider
network services, accreditation preparation, enrollment processing, claims
processing, member services and cost containment programs.
In 1985, the Company became one of the pioneers in arranging for the
financing and delivery of health care services to Medicaid recipients utilizing
managed care programs. Management believes the Company has gained substantial
expertise in understanding and serving the particular needs of the Medicaid
population. As of September 1, 1999, there were approximately 76,000 Medicaid
enrollees in the managed care organizations owned or managed by the Company,
OmniCare Health Plan, Inc., in Tennessee ("OmniCare-TN"), and Michigan Health
Maintenance Organization Plans, Inc., d/b/a OmniCare Health Plan, in Michigan
("OmniCare-MI"). The Company complements its Medicaid focus by targeting
non-Medicaid/commercial business in the same geographic markets, including its
contract with Urban Hospital Care Plus (the "County Care" plan). As of September
1, 1999, there were approximately 61,000 non-Medicaid/commercial enrollees in
OmniCare-MI, OmniCare-TN and County Care (collectively, the "Managed Plans").
The Company sold all of the stock of its wholly owned subsidiary,
Corporate Healthcare Financing, Inc. ("CHF"), on September 8, 1998, effective
August 31, 1998. See "Business--Self-Funded Benefit Plan" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" below. CHF designed customized
employee welfare plan arrangements for self-funded employers and provided
marketing, management and administrative services to self-funded employers
generally.
RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES
In January 1998, as a result of significant operating losses, negative
working capital and a reduction in net worth, the Company announced a major
financial restructuring program which was designed to cut the Company's cash
losses and to position the Company for profitable operations. To oversee the
Company's restructuring efforts, the Company named a new Chairman of the Board
to serve in a non-executive capacity, with the day to day operations of the
Company continuing to be managed by its then current Chief Executive Officer and
then current President and Chief Operating Officer. The Company engaged Arthur
Andersen LLP to assist in the development and implementation of the financial
restructuring program.
The restructuring program encompassed Company plans to discontinue some
expansion projects, reduce non-core spending activities, reduce corporate
overhead, renegotiate its bank credit facilities, re-evaluate its investment in
affiliates and other assets and sell CHF.

5
In May 1998, the Company announced three changes in management: (1) the
retirement of the then current Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective
August 6, 1998, including his immediate relinquishment of his operational
responsibilities, (2) the resignation of the then current President and Chief
Operating Officer of the Company and (3) the election of Gregory H. Moses, Jr.
as the new President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Moses, a
retired partner of the Coopers & Lybrand accounting firm, most recently had been
a consultant to a health maintenance organization in Detroit. He previously had
been partner-in-charge of the Coopers & Lybrand Healthcare Consulting Group in
New York and New Jersey for ten years, chairman of that firm's National
Healthcare Consulting Group for five years and its lead engagement partner with
respect to Mercy Health Services for seven years. In August 1998, Mr. Moses
additionally became the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Company's
Corporate Controller became its Treasurer and Interim Chief Financial Officer.
INDUSTRY
In an effort to control costs while assuring the delivery of quality
health care services, the public and private sectors in recent years have
increasingly turned to managed care solutions. As a result, the managed care
industry, which includes health maintenance organization ("HMO"), preferred
provider organization ("PPO") and prepaid health service plans, has grown
substantially.
While the trend toward managed care solutions has traditionally been
pursued most aggressively by the private sector, the public sector has recently
embraced the trend in an effort to control the costs of health care provided to
Medicaid recipients. Consequently, many states are promoting managed care
initiatives to contain these rising costs and supporting programs that encourage
or mandate Medicaid beneficiaries to enroll in managed care plans.
MANAGED CARE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Company has an ownership interest in and manages the operations of
an HMO in Tennessee, OmniCare-TN. The Company also manages the operations of an
HMO in which it has no ownership interest, OmniCare-MI. In addition, the Company
owns and operates County Care.
The Company also had or has an ownership interest in three other HMOs:
UltraMedix Healthcare Systems, Inc., in Florida ("UltraMedix"); OmniCare Health
Plan of Louisiana, Inc., in Louisiana ("OmniCare-LA"); and PhilCare Health
Systems, Inc., in Pennsylvania ("PhilCare"). UltraMedix ceased operations and is
in the process of being liquidated (see "Business--Managed Plans Owned by the
Company--UltraMedix" below). OmniCare-LA was never operational and is in the
process of being dissolved. PhilCare, having declined to participate in
Pennsylvania's Medicaid managed care program because of program requirements
that would have made such participation unprofitable, subsequently, effective
April 1, 1998, entered into an Integrated Delivery System agreement with an
entity that arranges for the provision of health care services for its Medicaid
membership through contracts with health care providers. The Company's Board
4
6
of Directors has determined, as part of the Company's financial restructuring
program, to withdraw from all involvement in Pennsylvania and to pursue
recouping its investment in PhilCare. Toward that end, however, with the support
of all of PhilCare's stockholders, the Company has made a presentation to the
Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare proposing that the Company take over
the operation of PhilCare on an interim basis to try to improve PhilCare's
financial condition and business prospects; and the Department has not yet
responded to the proposal.
The following table shows the membership in the Managed Plans serviced

A substantial portion of the Company's gross revenues is derived
through its management agreement with OmniCare-MI. This management agreement is
long-term in nature, subject to review every five years with either automatic
continuation or elective termination. There can be no assurance that such
agreement will remain in effect or continue substantially under the same terms
and conditions. Effective June 1, 1998, the OmniCare-MI management agreement was
amended to reduce the management fee percentage charged by the Company to 14%
from 17%. Additionally, in fiscal 1999 the Company forgave $1.3 million in
management fees owed by OmniCare-MI. UltraMedix has been placed in receivership
for the purpose of its liquidation, pursuant to judicial consent orders entered
on February 26 and March 3, 1998. See "Managed Plan Operated By the Company" and
"Managed Plans Owned by the Company--UltraMedix" under "Managed Plans" below and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
MANAGED PLANS
The Company has entered into long-term management agreements with
OmniCare-MI and, through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with

Managed Plans Owned by the Company
OMNICARE-TN. OmniCare-TN was organized as a Tennessee corporation in
October 1993, and is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The Company was active
in the development of OmniCare-TN and, through the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, United American of Tennessee, Inc. ("UA-TN"), owns a 75% equity
interest in OmniCare-TN; a local partner owns the remaining 25%. OmniCare-TN
began as a PPO contractor in TennCare, a State of Tennessee program that
provides medical benefits to Medicaid and Working Uninsured recipients, and
7
9
operated as a full-risk prepaid health services plan until it obtained its
TennCare HMO license in March 1996. OmniCare-TN's TennCare HMO contract was
executed in October 1996, retroactive to the date of licensure.
In November 1993, OmniCare-TN contracted with TennCare as a PPO, to
arrange for the financing and delivery of health care services on a capitated
basis to Medicaid eligibles and the Working Uninsured and Uninsurable
("Non-Medicaid") individuals who lack access to private or employer sponsored
health insurance or to another government health plan. The TennCare Bureau
placed an indefinite moratorium on Working Uninsured enrollment in December
1994; however, such action did not affect persons enrolled in a plan prior to
the moratorium. In April 1997, enrollment was expanded to include the children
of the Working Uninsured up to age 18. The TennCare contract was renewed on July
1, 1999 for an 18-month term, expiring December 31, 2000.
OmniCare-TN currently serves Shelby and Davidson counties in Tennessee
(which include the cities of Memphis and Nashville). As of September 1, 1999,
total enrollment was approximately 43,818 members, of which 28,430 (65%) and
15,388 (35%) represent Medicaid and Non-Medicaid enrollees, respectively. A
30-day open enrollment change period for all TennCare eligibles occurs once a
year in October.
The Plan's application for a commercial HMO license is pending. Plan
management has been in frequent communication with the State to eliminate any
further processing delays of the application and expects the issuance of the
license in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. However, there can be no assurance
that the license will be issued within this time period. Management believes
that the receipt of the commercial license and the Plan's efforts to expand its
provider network to the southwestern area of Tennessee would enable OmniCare-TN
to increase its enrollment by marketing its managed care products to the various
employer groups in the regions served.
COUNTY CARE. In Michigan, the County of Wayne encompasses Detroit and
certain other cities and communities. Urban Hospital Care Plus ("UHCP"), a
nonprofit corporation, administers the County's patient care management system.
Effective April 1, 1999, the Company entered into a contract with UHCP for the
Company to arrange for the delivery of health care services, including the
assumption of underwriting risk, on a capitated basis to certain enrollees
residing in Wayne County who lack access to private or employer-sponsored health
insurance or to another government health plan. The initial contract period was
for six months, with automatic renewal for successive periods of one year unless
terminated by either party as provided in the contract. At this time, it is
known that the contract will be renewed for a one-year period ending September
30, 2000. Although Company management does not expect significant net earnings
directly from the County Care contract, management believes that entering into
this contract is consistent with the Company's strategic objective of expanding
the client base and achieving size sufficient to enable the Company to negotiate
better rates, save on
8
10
administrative costs and build profits. As of September 1, 1999, total County
Care enrollment was approximately 8,385.
ULTRAMEDIX. UltraMedix, a network model HMO headquartered in Tampa,
Florida, was founded as a Florida corporation in May 1992. Through its majority
owned subsidiary, United American of Florida, Inc. ("UA-FL"), the Company owns
51% of UltraMedix, with the remaining 49% owned by local shareholders. The March
3, 1998 court order, described below, placed UltraMedix and UA-FL in
liquidation.
As of December 31, 1997, UltraMedix was not in compliance with the
Florida Department of Insurance ("FDOI") statutory solvency requirement. The
FDOI requires that HMOs maintain a statutory reserve as determined in accordance
with statutory accounting practices of $0.5 million. UltraMedix's statutory
deficiency at December 31, 1997 was estimated at $4.5 million. As a result, on
January 30, 1998, the Company, UltraMedix and the Plan's third-party
administrator, UA-FL, signed and delivered to the FDOI a Stipulation and Consent
to Appointment of Receiver and Order of Liquidation entitling FDOI to obtain the
entry of an accompanying consent order by the applicable Florida court if the
Company did not cure UltraMedix's existing statutory reserve deficiency
(estimated at $4.5 million) by February 6, 1998. On February 26, 1998, the
deficiency had not been cured and pursuant to the FDOI's petition, the Florida
court entered such consent order.
Pursuant to the stipulation and consent order: UltraMedix and UA-FL
(the "Organizations") admitted that UltraMedix was statutorily insolvent as of
December 31, 1997; the Company paid $0.5 million to the FDOI to cover UltraMedix
claims incurred during and provider capitation payments due for the eight days
ended February 6, 1998, and funded the Organizations' ordinary business expenses
for the same period; the FDOI took control of the Organizations' bank accounts;
the Plan ceased enrolling new members; and the Organizations continued to
provide services to all of the Plan's subscribers and to process renewals on all
policies as they came due. Pursuant to the consent order, on February 26, 1998,
the Organizations were declared insolvent and the FDOI was appointed as Receiver
for the purposes of their liquidation.
On March 3, 1998, the Florida court entered a Consent Order of
Liquidation, Injunction and Notice of Stay, declaring that any further efforts
of the Receiver to rehabilitate the Organizations would be useless, ordering the
FDOI, as Receiver, to take possession of and liquidate all assets of the
Organizations and ordering the immediate cancellation of UltraMedix's authority
to provide health services as an HMO in Florida. On April 15, 1998, the Florida
Agency for Health Care Administration notified the Company of the Agency's
intent to enforce the Company's Guarantee Agreement, under which the Company had
agreed to reimburse UltraMedix's contracted Medicaid providers for authorized,
covered Medicaid services rendered to covered Medicaid enrollees, for which the
Agency had made payment on behalf of such enrollees, limited to an amount equal
to the amount of surplus UltraMedix would have been required to maintain under
the Medicaid contract in the absence of such Guarantee Agreement.

Although the outcome cannot be predicted or reasonably estimated,
Company management expects that the ultimate resolution regarding the Guarantee
Agreement will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position.
Managed Plan Operated by the Company
OMNICARE-MI. OmniCare-MI is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporation
headquartered in Detroit, Michigan and serving southeastern Michigan, operating
in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe and Washtenaw counties. Its history includes a
number of innovations that were adopted and proved successful for the industry.
It was the first network model HMO in the country and the first to capitate
physician services in an IPA model HMO. OmniCare-MI also created and implemented
the first known mental health carve out in 1983.
OmniCare-MI enrollment is through over 1,300 companies that offer the
Plan to employees and their family members, through individual enrollment that
is open once a year for a 30-day period, and through the State's Medicaid
program pursuant to an agreement with the Michigan Department of Community
Health, which makes HMO coverage available to eligibles in certain counties and
mandatory in others. This annually renewable agreement was extended by mutual
agreement for an additional twelve months from January 1, 1999 to December 31,
1999. As of September 1, 1999, total enrollment in OmniCare-MI was approximately
84,623, of which 37,279 (44%) represent commercial members, including
approximately 7,411 point of service members, and approximately 47,344 (56%)
represent Medicaid members.
Among the major employers that offer OmniCare-MI, ranked by enrollment,
are: the City of Detroit, the Detroit Board of Education, the Federal
Government, the State of Michigan, Ford Motor Company and DaimlerChrysler AG,
the largest of which represents approximately 6% of OmniCare-MI's total
enrollment. These employers, in aggregate, represent approximately 25% of
OmniCare-MI's total enrollment. No other group exceeds 2% of the Plan's total
enrollment.
The State of Michigan, in an effort to reduce the cost of its Medicaid
program, competitively bid its Medicaid contracts, with an effective date of
July 1997. The affected southeastern Michigan counties include a significant
portion of the Plan's Medicaid enrollment. In May 1997, OmniCare-MI was notified
that it had been selected to participate in the State's program. Unsuccessful
bidders to the State's request for proposal legally challenged the initiative
and, as a result, the State did not assign the Medicaid eligibles to plans that
were awarded contracts, but nonetheless instituted the premium rate reduction
component of the new program effective July 1997. With the indefinite delay of
the assignment of approximately 90,000 eligible recipients to the selected
plans,and the implementation of the premium rate reductions of 20%, the
operating revenues of OmniCare-MI and the resulting management fee revenues to
the Company were adversely affected in fiscal 1998 and 1999.
10
12
Newspaper stories in May 1998 reported that the Michigan Insurance
Bureau (the "Bureau") had obtained a sealed (confidential) court order on May 7,
1998 giving state regulators control over OmniCare-MI's assets. The Company
responded with a public statement on May 12, 1998, stating that OmniCare-MI was
not in receivership but was in active discussion with the Bureau regarding
compliance with certain regulatory issues, that all services to members of
OmniCare-MI would continue to be provided with no decrease in the quality of
care, and all providers would continue to be paid for their services, and that
both the Company and OmniCare-MI had completely restructured their top
management.
In June 1998, the Company funded a $4.6 million unsecured loan to
OmniCare-MI, evidenced by a surplus note, to enable OmniCare-MI to meet its
minimum requirements for net worth and working capital. Pursuant to the surplus
note, interest and principal repayments are subject to approval by the Bureau
and are payable only out of the statutory surplus earnings of OmniCare-MI. The
interest rate is at prime, payable annually and if not paid is forfeited.
Interest income of $0.4 million was forfeited for fiscal 1999. The principal has
no stated maturity or repayment date. The surplus note is subordinated to all
other claimants of OmniCare-MI. The Company recorded an impairment loss against
its investment in this surplus note based on its evaluation of the recoverable
value of such investment and accordingly recognized bad debt expense of $2.3
million for the year ended June 30, 1998. Additionally, in fiscal 1999 the
Company provided additional funding by forgiving $1.3 million in management fees
owed by OmniCare-MI, to enable OmniCare-MI to meet its statutory requirements
for net worth and working capital.
On July 1, 1998, the Bureau issued a public statement in which the
Michigan Commissioner of Insurance announced reaching accord with OmniCare-MI on
a four-month plan to revitalize the HMO and cited "three major positive
developments respecting OmniCare": an unsecured loan of $4.6 million by the
Company, the corrective action plan and the "experienced and capable leadership
of Gregory H. Moses."
The reduction of Medicaid rates and other factors were considered in
developing the OmniCare-MI corrective action plan, which has been implemented.
The corrective action plan included the reduction of medical costs through
renegotiation of hospital provider contracts, reduction of pharmacy costs and a
reduction in the management fee percentage paid to the Company from 17% to 14%,
effective June 1, 1998. In fiscal 1999 and 1998, the Company derived 19% and 24%
of its total revenues from its management agreement with OmniCare-MI,
respectively. Management believes that the continued viability of OmniCare-MI is
critical to the Company's future operations and concluded that the unsecured
loan, in the form of a surplus note, the $1.3 million forgiveness of management
fees in fiscal 1999 and the reduction in the management fee percentage were
necessary actions to strengthen the financial condition and viability of
OmniCare-MI.
11
13
The Company, in its restructuring efforts and forecasts, has considered
the impact of the reduction in the management fee percentage. In fiscal 1999,
management fee revenues decreased approximately $4.2 million as a result of the
management fee percentage reduction.
In January 1999, the Company announced that OmniCare-MI had joined with
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (the "CasinoCare Venture") in proposals to
provide health care, dental and prescription drug benefits to employees of the
three planned casinos that are to bring casino gaming to Detroit. Two of the
casinos have selected the CasinoCare Venture to provide health care coverage to
their employees. Both casinos are building temporary facilities, currently
expected to open within the next five months. The Company estimates that over
the next several months approximately 3,000 employees (amounting to more than
7,000 members) will require health coverage and could generate medical premiums
of up to $0.9 million monthly ($11.2 million annually). The casinos' temporary
facilities are expected to be replaced by permanent riverfront facilities in
Detroit by 2002; and based upon the casinos' estimates, that up to 8,000
employees (amounting to more than 18,000 members) will then require health
coverage and could generate medical premiums of up to $2.3 million monthly
($28.0 million annually). The Company would receive a management fee based on
the medical premiums generated from those members who select the Company's
products.
In August 1999, OmniCare-MI received a "Commendable" accreditation
rating from the National Committee for Quality Assurance ("NCQA") through April
30, 2001. The NCQA is a nationally recognized independent, not-for-profit
organization that evaluates how well a health plan manages all parts of its
delivery system (physicians, hospitals, other providers and administrative
services) in order to continuously improve health care for its members. The
"Commendable" rating is granted to managed care organizations that deliver
high-quality care and service and whose systems for consumer protection and
quality improvement meet or exceed NCQA's requirements.

OMNICARE-LA. OmniCare-LA, a network model HMO headquartered in New
Orleans, Louisiana, was organized as a Louisiana corporation in November 1994,
and is 100% owned by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, United American of
Louisiana, Inc. (UA-LA) ("UA-LA"). The Plan was granted an HMO license by the
Louisiana Department of Insurance in June 1996. In connection therewith, the
Company funded OmniCare-LA's statutory reserve and net worth requirements
through letters of credit for $1.0 million and $1.0 million in cash deposited in
accounts at state banks in Louisiana. OmniCare-LA was in a pre-operational phase
since inception. Consistent with the Company's restructuring efforts, it has
ceased its operations in Louisiana, has withdrawn its $1.0 million statutory
reserve and liquidated OmniCare-LA, and is in the process of dissolving
OmniCare-LA, including the anticipated cancellation of its letter of credit
commitments.

14
PHILCARE. PhilCare, a network model HMO headquartered in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, was organized as a Pennsylvania corporation in May 1994. PhilCare
is 49% owned by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, United American of
Pennsylvania, Inc. ("UA-PA"), and 51% owned by local participants. In June 1996,
PhilCare obtained its HMO license, with the Company funding PhilCare's statutory
reserve and net worth requirements of $2.1 million through cash deposited at a
Pennsylvania bank.
PhilCare's initial business plan was to participate in Pennsylvania's
mandatory Medicaid pilot program, HealthChoices, which required the enrollment
of approximately 540,000 Medicaid recipients in five metropolitan Philadelphia
counties into HMOs. In October 1996, the Company announced its decision to
withdraw its support of PhilCare's participation in the HealthChoices program
because existing program requirements would have made the Company's
participation in the program unprofitable. Effective April 1, 1998, PhilCare
entered into an Integrated Delivery System ("IDS") agreement with an entity that
arranges for the provision of health care services for its Medicaid membership
through contracts with health care providers. The IDS agreement places the
entity in the position of bearing the risk, but as the contractor with the
Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (the state's regulatory agency for
HMOs), PhilCare is deemed responsible for compliance with all applicable rules
and regulations.
In 1998, the Company recorded a full impairment loss against its
investment in PhilCare based on its evaluation of the net recoverable value of
such investment. This resulted in bad debt expense of $2.1 million for the year
ended June 30, 1998. The Company's Board of Directors has determined to pursue
recouping the Company's investment in PhilCare. Toward that end, with the
support of all of PhilCare's stockholders, the Company has made a presentation
to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare proposing that the Company take
over the operation of PhilCare on an interim basis to try to improve PhilCare's
financial condition and business prospects. There can be no assurance
whether the Department will approve such proposal or whether (or to what extent,
if any) the Company's interim operation of PhilCare would enhance the Company's
ability to recoup its investment in PhilCare.
Consistent with the Company's restructuring efforts, the Company ceased
all operational activities of UA-PA in fiscal 1998, except its rent obligations
for leased office spaces in Philadelphia which were substantially sublet. The
Company has reached an agreement with its landlord to assume the subleases and
release the Company from its lease obligations, effective September 9, 1999.

ADVICA HEALTH MANAGEMENT. In March 1993, the Company reached an
agreement with New York-based HealthScope Administrative Services Corporation,
later known as HealthScope/United, Inc. ("HealthScope"), to form a health care
management company intended to gain access to one of the largest Medicaid
eligible populations in the United States. Pursuant to the agreement,
HealthScope became a wholly owned subsidiary of Advica Health Management
(formerly United/HealthScope, Inc.) ("Advica"), which was organized to engage in
development, consulting and contract management services for publicly funded
managed care programs in the metropolitan New York area.
In 1995, New York City officials announced a four-year initiative to
enroll over 1.7 million Medicaid recipients residing in New York City in managed
care plans. The staggered enrollment aspect of the program was necessitated by
an insufficient capacity to enroll all such recipients. This mandated initiative
began to be implemented in 1997. Advica management anticipates the phase-in
for its service areas in late 1999.
In May 1997, Advica's outstanding debt and preferred stock were
restructured to attract other investors. The Company converted its interest in
Advica, including loans, advances, accrued interest and the value of warrants
held by the Company, to one million shares of non-voting preferred stock of the
restructured Advica in the amount of $4.0 million, and a warrant to purchase
3,310 shares of Advica common stock, exercisable at any time at a nominal price,
representing approximately 3% of Advica's common shares on a fully diluted
basis. The conversion of the Company's loans to Advica into preferred stock was
treated as a "troubled debt restructuring" with the investment recorded at its
estimated fair value at the date of the restructuring. This resulted in bad debt
expense of $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 1997 and, with $1.0 million
of bad debt expense in prior years, resulted in a net investment in Advica of
$2.3 million at June 30, 1997.
In fiscal 1998, based on Advica's adverse operating results, the
Company recognized a full impairment loss on such investment that resulted in
bad debt expense of $2.3 million for fiscal year 1998. Subsequently, in November
1998, the Company converted its preferred stock and warrant investment in Advica
to Advica common shares.
SELF-FUNDED BENEFIT PLAN
In 1993, the Company acquired CHF for approximately $16.2 million in
the form of cash, stock, a contingent note and the assumption of liabilities.
The contingent note was for $6.6 million and was earned out at both June 30,
1998 and June 30, 1997. CHF designed customized employee welfare plan
arrangements for self-funded employers and provided marketing, management and
administrative services to self-funded employers generally. Management believed
that its acquisition of CHF represented an opportunity to expand its traditional
business into the self-funded market that comprises a majority of the private
sector employers. A self-funded health benefit plan is one in which an employer
directly assumes the financial risk for its employees'
14
16
health care costs by paying for employees' medical claims out of a separate fund
consisting of employee and/or employer contributions.
On September 8, 1998, CHFA, Inc., a corporation whose owners included
Louis J. Nicholas, the Chief Executive Officer of CHF and a former officer and
director of the Company, purchased all of the stock of CHF for $17.75 million,
comprised of $2.0 million in cash, a secured note for $13.25 million and an
unsecured note for $2.5 million. A regional investment banking firm issued a
fairness opinion supporting the reasonableness of the consideration to be
received by the Company for such sale. As required by the Company's line of
credit facility, the CHF sale was approved by the Company's bank lender and all
proceeds from the sale (including all payments on the two notes) were to be used
to reduce the Company's indebtedness to the bank.
The secured note was payable to the Company in four monthly
installments of $0.5 million each through December 1998 with the balance due in
January 1999, with options to extend the final payment to March 1999, plus
interest at the prime rate on short-term unsecured commercial borrowings. The
unsecured note was payable to the Company in two annual installments of $0.25
million with the balance due August 31, 2001, plus interest at 6% per annum.
In April 1999, the parties modified the secured note's payment terms,
extending its maturity date to August 31, 1999, requiring additional principal
and interest payments totaling $0.9 million to be paid over the extended period
and requiring an additional limited personal guarantee by Mr. Nicholas of $1.5
million of the principal of the secured note. Including payments on the secured
note, through June 30, 1999 the Company received $9.2 million of the CHF sale
price, plus $0.8 million of interest. On August 16, 1999, both notes were paid
in full with accrued interest, net of a $250,000 prepayment discount agreed to
by the Company. The final payment on the secured and unsecured notes was in the
aggregate amount of $8.5 million (including $0.1 million of interest earned
after June 30, 1999).
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company is subject to extensive federal and state health care and
insurance regulations designed primarily to protect enrollees in the Managed
Plans, particularly with respect to government sponsored enrollees. Such
regulations govern many aspects of the Company's business affairs and typically
empower state agencies to review management agreements with health care plans
for, among other things, reasonableness of charges. Among the other areas
regulated by federal and state law are licensure requirements, premium rate
increases, new product offerings, procedures for quality assurance, enrollment
requirements, covered benefits, service area expansion, provider relationships
and the financial condition of the managed plans, including cash reserve
requirements and dividend restrictions. There can be no assurances that the
Company
15
17
or its Managed Plans will be granted the necessary approvals for new products or
will maintain federal qualifications or state licensure.
The licensing and operation of OmniCare-MI and OmniCare-TN are governed
by the respective states' statutes and regulations applicable to health
maintenance organizations. The licenses are subject to denial, limitation,
suspension or revocation if there is a determination that the plans are
operating out of compliance with the states' HMO statutes, failing to provide
quality health services, establishing rates that are unfair or unreasonable,
failing to fulfill obligations under outstanding agreements or operating on an
unsound fiscal basis. Unlike OmniCare-MI, OmniCare-TN is not a
federally-qualified HMO and, therefore, is not subject to the federal HMO Act.
The County Care plan is governed by the Company's contract with Urban Hospital
Care Plus.
Federal and state regulation of health care plans and managed care
products is subject to frequent change, varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction
and generally gives responsible administrative agencies broad discretion. Laws
and regulations relating to the Company's business are subject to amendment
and/or interpretation in each jurisdiction. In particular, legislation mandating
managed care for Medicaid recipients is often subject to change and may not
initially be accompanied by administrative rules and guidelines. Changes in
federal or state governmental regulation could affect the Company's operations,
profitability and business prospects. Currently OmniCare-MI is in active
discussions with state regulators regarding compliance with certain regulatory
issues. See "Managed Plan Operated By the Company" under "Managed Plans" above
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." While the Company is unable to
predict what additional government regulations, if any, affecting its business
may be enacted in the future or how existing or future regulations may be
interpreted, regulatory revisions may have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
INSURANCE
The Company presently carries comprehensive general liability,
directors and officers liability, property, business automobile, and workers'
compensation insurance. Management believes that coverage levels under these
policies are adequate in view of the risks associated with the Company's
business. In addition, the Managed Plans have professional liability insurance
that covers liability claims arising from medical malpractice. The individual
Managed Plans are required to pay the insurance premiums under the terms of the
respective management agreements. There can be no assurance as to the future
availability or cost of such insurance, or that the Company's business risks
will be maintained within the limits of such insurance coverage.
16
18
COMPETITION
The managed care industry is highly competitive. The Company directly
competes with other entities that provide health care plan management services,
some of which are nonprofit corporations and others which have significantly
greater financial and administrative resources. The Company primarily competes
on the basis of fee arrangements, cost effectiveness and the range and quality
of services offered to prospective health care clients. While the Company
believes that its experience gives it certain competitive advantages over
existing and potential new competitors, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete effectively in the future.
The Company competes with other HMOs, PPOs and insurance companies. The
level of this competition may affect, among other things, the operating revenues
of the Managed Plans and, therefore, the revenues of the Company. The
predominant competitors in southeastern Michigan are Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Michigan, The Wellness Plan, Total Health Plan and Health Alliance Plan. The
predominant competitors in central and southwestern Tennessee are Access-Med
Plus and Blue Cross Blue Shield. The Company's Managed Plans primarily compete
on the basis of enrollee premiums, covered benefits, provider networks,
utilization limitations, enrollee co-payments and other related plan features
and criteria. Management believes that the Company's existing clients are able
to compete effectively with their primary market competitors in these areas.
EMPLOYEES
The Company's ability to maintain its competitive position and expand
its business into new markets depends, in significant part, upon the maintenance
of its relationships with various existing senior officers, as well as its
ability to attract and retain qualified health care management professionals.
Although the Company has an employment agreement with its current Chief
Executive Officer, it neither has nor intends to pursue employment agreements
with all of its key personnel. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the
Company will be able to maintain such relationships or attract such
professionals.
The total number of employees at September 1, 1999 was 286 compared to
214 at September 1, 1998. The Company's employees do not belong to a collective
bargaining unit and management considers its relations with employees to be
good.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Management believes that timely and relevant information is critical to
a managed care operation and utilizes its management information system ("MIS")
to process claims; analyze health care utilization; support provider, member and
employer requirements; and control administrative costs. The Company previously
initiated an MIS implementation plan intended to
17
19
enhance its operations, reduce costs and improve customer service with the
development of a proprietary client/server information system, along with
complementary automation products including claims scanning, claims imaging,
electronic data interchange and various select technologies for enterprise-wide
installation. More recently, rather than filling its vacant Senior Director of
Management Information Systems position, the Company has engaged an experienced
systems consulting firm to direct the Company's MIS operations. Assisted by such
consultant, management is currently reassessing its MIS requirements and
developing a comprehensive MIS strategy for the Company.
YEAR 2000
The Company has developed and implemented a Year 2000 strategic plan to
address issues related to the potential impact of the Year 2000 on its
computerized systems and equipment. The plan addressed systems modification
requirements in the following primary areas: information systems, facilities,
payors and suppliers. The Company presently believes that with modifications to
software and hardware, the Year 2000 issue will not pose material problems for
the Company's own systems and equipment. The Company estimates that over 90% of
such modifications and conversions have been made to date. Management
anticipates that the remaining modifications and conversions will be completed
by October 4, 1999 and that the Company's primary computerized information
systems will be Year 2000 compliant by that date. However, if such modifications
are not made or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 issue could have a
material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position.
Furthermore, the Company has initiated formal communications through
its Year 2000 "Readiness Disclosure Statement" with its significant suppliers
and large payors to determine the extent to which the Company may be vulnerable
to those third parties' failure to remediate their Year 2000 issues.
However, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which
the Company relies will be timely converted, and the Company may be adversely
affected by the failure of a significant third party to become Year 2000
compliant.
The Company also has in process a Year 2000 contingency plan for
critical computerized information systems to mitigate potential delays or other
problems associated with such modifications or conversions deemed necessary by
management. The Company continues to bear some risk related to the Year 2000
issue due to its voluntary interaction with other entities not affiliated with
the Company (e.g., vendors and customers) who must address their own Year 2000
issues. The contingency plan is being implemented. For this reason, the Company
has been monitoring the Year 2000 issues of certain critical third parties with
which it interacts. The Company has asked such third parties to demonstrate, or
give some indication as to, their ability to become Year 2000 compliant. With
respect to any third party who appears unlikely to remedy its Year 2000 issues,
the Company intends to take appropriate steps to mitigate the exposure to the
risk posed by such third party's failure to timely address its Year 2000 issues.
However, due to the uncertainty inherent in both the Year 2000 problem and the
efforts of third parties to timely resolve their own Year 2000 issues, there can
be no assurances the Company's mitigation efforts will be successful or that the
failure of any third party or the Company to timely resolve its Year 2000 issues
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations, operating
results or financial position.
18
20
Both internal and external resources were utilized in the Company's
efforts to become Year 2000 compliant. During the year ended June 30, 1999, $0.8
million of costs were incurred by the Company in connection with its efforts to
become Year 2000 compliant. The total costs of the Company's efforts to become
Year 2000 compliant are not expected to exceed $1.6 million, of which
approximately 60% represents capital costs. Costs related to software
modifications have been, and will continue to be, expensed as incurred.
The costs expected to be incurred in connection with the Company's
efforts to become Year 2000 compliant, as well as the date by which the Company
is expected to be Year 2000 compliant, are based on management's best estimates.
Because such estimates were derived utilizing numerous assumptions as to future
events (including the availability of certain resources, third party
modifications and other factors), there can be no assurance that these estimates
will be achieved and such actual costs and date could differ materially from
those currently expected. Specific factors that might cause material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and costs of personnel trained
in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes and
similar uncertainties.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe
harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage management to provide
prospective information about their companies without fear of litigation so long
as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by
meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statements.
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K annual report, including, without
limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "will",
"may", "might", and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of this "safe harbor."
Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current
expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors, many of which the Company is unable to predict or control, that may
cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors
potentially include, among others, the following:
1. Inability of OmniCare-MI to remain as a viable entity.
2. Inability to increase premium rates commensurate with increases in
medical costs due to utilization, government regulation, or other
factors.
3. Discontinuation of, limitations upon, or restructuring of
government-funded programs, including but not limited to the
TennCare program.
4. Increases in medical costs, including increases in utilization and
costs of medical
19
21
services and the effects of actions by competitors or groups
of providers.
5. Adverse state and federal legislation and initiatives, including
limitations upon or reductions in premium payments; prohibition or
limitation of capitated arrangements or financial incentives to
providers; federal and state benefit mandates (including mandatory
length of stay and emergency room coverage); limitations on the ability
to manage care and utilization; and any willing provider or pharmacy
laws.
6. The shift of employers from insured to self-funded coverage, resulting
in reduced operating margins to the Company.
7. Failure to obtain new customer bases or retain existing customer bases
or reductions in work force by existing customers; and failure to
sustain commercial enrollment to maintain an enrollment mix required by
government programs.
8. Termination of the OmniCare-MI management agreement.
9. Increased competition between current organizations, the entrance of new
competitors and the introduction of new products by new and existing
competitors.
10. Adverse publicity and media coverage.
11. Inability to carry out marketing and sales plans.
12. Loss or retirement of key executives.
13. Termination of provider contracts or renegotiations at less cost-
effective rates or terms of payment.
14. The selection by employers and individuals of higher co-payment/
deductible/coinsurance plans with relatively lower premiums or margins.
15. Adverse regulatory determinations resulting in loss or limitations of
licensure, certification or contracts with governmental payors.
16. Higher sales, administrative or general expenses occasioned by the need
for additional advertising, marketing, administrative or MIS
expenditures.
17. Increases by regulatory authorities of minimum capital, reserve and
other financial solvency requirements.
18. Denial of accreditation by quality accrediting agencies, e.g., the
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
19. Adverse results from significant litigation matters.
20. Adverse impact from Year 2000 issues.
21. Inability to maintain continued New York Stock Exchange listing.
22. Inability to renegotiate bank loan agreement.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company currently leases approximately 86,000 aggregate square feet from
which it conducts its operations in Michigan and Tennessee. The principal
offices of the Company are located at 1155 Brewery Park Boulevard, Suite 200,
Detroit, Michigan, where it currently leases approximately 54,000 square feet of
office space.
20
22
The Company believes that its current facilities provide sufficient
space suitable for all of the Company's planned activities and that sufficient
additional space will be available on reasonable terms, if needed.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 26, 1998, pursuant to a Stipulation and Consent to
Appointment of Receiver and Order of Liquidation earlier signed and delivered to
the FDOI by the Company, UltraMedix and UA-FL, upon the FDOI's petition, the
Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit, in and for Leon County, Florida
(the "Florida court") entered a consent order declaring UltraMedix and UA-FL
(the "Organizations") insolvent and appointing the FDOI as Receiver for the
purposes of their liquidation.
On March 3, 1998, the Florida court entered a Consent Order of
Liquidation, Injunction and Notice of Stay, declaring that any further efforts
of the Receiver to rehabilitate the Organizations would be useless, ordering the
Receiver to take possession of and liquidate all assets of the Organizations,
and ordering the immediate cancellation of UltraMedix's authority to provide
health services as an HMO in Florida. On April 15, 1998, the Florida Agency for
Health Care Administration notified the Company of the Agency's intent to
enforce the Company's Guarantee Agreement, under which the Company had agreed to
reimburse UltraMedix's contracted Medicaid providers for authorized, covered
Medicaid services rendered to covered Medicaid enrollees, for which the Agency
had made payment on behalf of such enrollees, limited to an amount equal to the
amount of surplus UltraMedix would have been required to maintain under the
Medicaid contract in the absence of such Guarantee Agreement.
A demand for arbitration was filed on December 1, 1998 with the
American Arbitration Association, entitled SunTel Services, Inc. v. United
American Healthcare Corporation. The claimant sought approximately $414,000 from
the Company for alleged breach of a lease agreement for telecommunications
equipment and related services. The Company, which had returned the leased
equipment from business locations it had closed, asserted a counterclaim. In
April 1999, the parties reached a settlement agreement and the arbitration
proceeding was dismissed in exchange for the Company's payment to the claimant
of $120,000 in cash and issuance to the claimant on April 14, 1999 of 67,369 new
shares of common stock of the Company valued at $80,000.
A demand for arbitration was filed on May 20, 1999 with the American
Arbitration Association by Ronald R. Dobbins, who had been President and Chief
Operating Officer of the Company until May 1998. The claimant seeks termination
benefits of approximately $650,000. No date has been set for the arbitration
hearing. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company continues to implement the restructuring plan initiated in
fiscal 1998, which during fiscal 1999 has included changes in senior management,
sale of CHF, renegotiation of the bank credit facility, settlement of legal
proceedings and continued efforts to achieve further cost reductions and
maintain Company revenue.
In August 1998, the then Chief Executive Officer of the Company retired
and the Board of Directors elected Gregory H. Moses, Jr. as the new Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company's Corporate Controller became
its new Treasurer and Interim Chief Financial Officer.
In September 1998, effective as of August 31, 1998, CHF was sold for
$17.75 million, comprised of $2.0 million in cash and the buyer's secured and
unsecured notes for $13.25 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Including
payments on the secured note, $9.2 million of the sales price plus $0.8 million
of interest in cash was received through June 30, 1999. On August 16, 1999, the
Company was paid $8.5 million, the remaining principal balance of the secured
and unsecured notes and accrued interest thereon, net of a $250,000 discount
granted as an inducement for the buyer to prepay both notes. As required by the
Company's line of credit facility, the sale was approved by the bank and all
proceeds were used to reduce the Company's indebtedness to the bank.
In September 1998, the Company and its bank lender amended the
Company's loan agreement and promissory note to: (i) decrease the principal
amount to $20.94 million and (ii) require reductions in the outstanding balance
owed to the bank at scheduled future dates, including the permanent reduction of
the outstanding balance to the lesser of the then outstanding principal balance
or $8.0 million by April 15, 1999.
23
25
In May 1999, the Company and its bank lender amended the Company's loan
agreement and promissory note requiring the Company to: (i) decrease the
principal sum to $16.6 million by September 1, 1999, (ii) permanently reduce the
bank's commitment to the lesser of the then outstanding principal balance or
$16.6 million by September 1, 1999, (iii) meet with the lender to establish
financial covenants for minimum net worth, debt service coverage ratio and
maximum debt to worth ratio prior to September 1, 1999, and (iv) obtain or
arrange for the return or cancellation of the existing $0.5 million letter of
credit provided by the Company on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, UA-LA
and its wholly owned subsidiary, OmniCare Health Plan of Louisiana, Inc., by
June 30, 1999. The bank subsequently granted the Company a waiver on items
(iii) and (iv) above, extending the date to October 1, 1999. The maturity date
of the line of credit is October 1, 1999. The bank and the Company have agreed
to negotiate the restructuring of the loan agreement and promissory note within
the next 90 days, and the bank has agreed to extend the maturity date during
this period.
Certain former senior officers and the Company were named defendants in
two shareholder lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan in August 1995. The court consolidated these
lawsuits into a single action. The consolidated action alleged that certain
senior officers and the Company issued reports and statements that violated
federal securities laws. The Company and the officers contended that all
material facts were disclosed during the period in question and that certain
material facts alleged not to have been disclosed were already available in the
financial marketplace. Nevertheless, management concluded that continued defense
of the litigation could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial
position. Continuation of this litigation would have also diverted management's
focus from operations. Based on these facts, management pursued settlement with
the plaintiffs.
On September 14, 1998, the parties agreed to a proposed settlement
requiring the release of all claims and damages sought by the plaintiffs in
exchange for (a) $2.0 million in cash from the Company's insurance carrier, (b)
a $625,000 promissory note of the Company payable in 15 equal monthly
installments beginning 13 months after entry of a final court order approving
the settlement, with interest at 4% per annum from the date of such order, and
(c) newly issued shares of common stock of the Company with an aggregate value
of $625,000 based on a share price equal to the greater of (i) the average
closing price of the Company's common stock for the period from July 20, 1998
through the third trading day preceding the court hearing on approval of the
settlement or (ii) $2.25.
In December 1998, final judgment was entered approving the Company's
shareholder lawsuit settlement and dismissing the action. Pursuant thereto, all
claims and damages sought by the plaintiffs were released in exchange for $2.0
million in cash from the Company's insurance carrier, a $625,000 promissory note
from the Company payable in 15 equal monthly installments beginning January 3,
2000, with interest at 4% per annum from December 11, 1998, and 277,777 new
shares of common stock of the Company valued at $625,000 and issued on March 29,
1999.

A demand for arbitration was filed on December 1, 1998 against the
Company, seeking approximately $414,000 for alleged breach of a lease agreement
for telecommunications equipment and related services. In April 1999, the
parties reached a settlement agreement and the arbitration proceeding was
dismissed in exchange for the Company's paying the claimant $120,000 in cash and
issuing to the claimant 67,369 new shares of common stock of the Company valued
at $80,000.
Effective April 1, 1999, the Company entered into the County Care
contract to arrange for the delivery of health care services, including the
assumption of underwriting risk, on a capitated basis to certain enrollees
residing in Wayne County (Michigan) who lack access to private or employer
sponsored health insurance or to another government health plan. The initial
contract period was for six months, with automatic renewal for successive
periods of one year unless terminated by either party as provided in the
contract. It is known at this time that such renewal will occur for the first
successive one-year period beginning October 1, 1999. Although Company
management does not expect significant net earnings directly from the County
Care contract, management believes that entering into this contract is
consistent with the Company's strategic objective of expanding the client base
and achieving size sufficient to enable the Company to negotiate better rates,
save on administrative costs and build profits.
The Company has implemented the corrective action plan developed for
OmniCare Health Plan ("OmniCare-MI"), a plan operated by the Company in
Michigan. The corrective action plan included the reduction of medical costs
through renegotiation of hospital and provider contracts, a reduction in the
management fee percentage paid to the Company from 17% to 14% effective June 1,
1998 and a commitment to ensure OmniCare-MI meets its minimum statutory
requirements for net worth and working capital. In June 1998, the Company funded
a $4.6 million unsecured loan to OmniCare-MI, evidenced by a surplus note, to
enable OmniCare-MI to meet its minimum requirements for net worth and working
capital. Pursuant to the surplus note, interest and principal repayments are
subject to approval by the Michigan Insurance Bureau and are payable only out of
the statutory surplus earnings of OmniCare-MI. The interest is payable annually,
at prime, and if not paid is forfeited. Interest of $0.4 million was forfeited
for fiscal 1999. The principal has no stated maturity or repayment date. In
addition, in fiscal 1999 the Company provided additional funding by forgiving
$1.3 million in management fees owed by OmniCare-MI, to enable OmniCare-MI to
meet its statutory requirements for net worth and working capital.
OmniCare-MI recognized earnings of $0.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to a loss of $9.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, a favorable change of $10.1 million. The change was due primarily
to renegotiated hospital provider contracts and the 3% reduction in the
management fee percentage. The stabilization efforts related to OmniCare-MI
continue, including pursuing joint ventures and other similar activities. The
management fee percentage reduction decreased the Company's management fee
revenues for fiscal 1999 by approximately $4.2 million.
25
27
In January 1999, the Company announced that OmniCare-MI had joined with
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (the "CasinoCare Venture") in proposals to
provide health care, dental and prescription drug benefits to employees of the
three planned casinos that are to bring casino gaming to Detroit. Two of the
casinos have selected the CasinoCare Venture to provide health care coverage to
their employees. Both casinos are building temporary facilities, currently
expected to open within the next five months. The Company estimates that over
the next several months approximately 3,000 employees (amounting to more than
7,000 members) will require health coverage and could generate medical premiums
of up to $0.9 million monthly ($11.2 million annually). The casinos' temporary
facilities are expected to be replaced by permanent riverfront facilities in
Detroit by 2002; and based upon the casinos' estimates, up to 8,000 employees
(amounting to more than 18,000 members) will require health coverage and could
generate medical premiums of up to $2.3 million monthly ($28.0 million
annually). The Company would receive a management fee based on the medical
premiums generated from those members who select the Company's products.
The Company's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. ("Exchange"). In 1998, the Exchange and the Company had communications
about the Company not meeting applicable listing standards, and the Company
consequently presented to the Exchange a definitive action plan for meeting
those standards within a reasonable period. In February 1999, the Exchange
notified the Company that, based on its review of the plan submitted by the
Company, the Exchange would continue the listing of the Company currently and
would review the Company's continued listing on a quarterly basis for compliance
with the plan submitted. In July 1999, the Exchange notified the Company of new
continued listing requirements and requested the Company to submit a revised
definitive action plan to demonstrate how the Company would meet the new
requirements over a 12-month period. The Company submitted its plan in September
1999. There can be no assurance as to the Company's continued listing on the
Exchange.
On May 6, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase by the Company of up to 250,000 of the Company's common shares
(approximately 3.6% of the total outstanding common shares) in the open market.
At June 30, 1999, 12,900 shares had been repurchased by the Company, and the
additional 237,100 shares were repurchased in July 1999.
The Company's results of operations for fiscal 1999 have also been
impacted by the cost reductions implemented in fiscal 1998, including an
approximate 35% workforce reduction at the Company's corporate and Tennessee
operations, and the cessation of operations in Florida, Louisiana and
Pennsylvania. Payroll expenses at the corporate and Tennessee operations
decreased approximately $5.1 million for the year ended June 30, 1999, compared
to the same period one year earlier.
26
28
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the year
ended June 30, 1999 were $1.1 million compared to losses of $27.4 million for
fiscal 1998. The $28.5 million change from fiscal 1998 is due primarily to
corporate expense reductions of $12.5 million, increased earnings before income
taxes from the Company's Tennessee operations of $3.7 million and the end of
losses related to the Company's Florida operations of $11.7 million.
The Company's cash position was significantly improved with receipts
during the year ended June 30, 1999, of a federal income tax refund of
approximately $5.5 million, $4.0 million related to adverse selection
settlements (as explained below) and the net recovery of $0.5 million in
refundable advances made to a third party administrator.
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
Total revenues decreased $12.1 million (11%), from $105.6 million in
the year ended June 30, 1998 to $93.5 million in the year ended June 30, 1999.
Medical premium revenues were $73.2 million in the year ended June 30,
1999, a decrease of $5.4 million (7%) from medical premium revenues of $78.6
million in the year ended June 30, 1998. Medical premiums for OmniCare Health
Plan, Inc. in Tennessee ("OmniCare-TN"), a managed care organization owned 75%
by the Company, increased $7.4 million (12%), from $63.5 million in the year
ended June 30, 1998 to $70.9 million in the year ended June 30, 1999.
The State of Tennessee's TennCare Bureau provides settlement payments
to managed care organizations for high cost chronic conditions of their members
("adverse selection") and new medical technologies. OmniCare-TN received $5.9
million in adverse selection payments in the year ended June 30, 1999, of which
$1.8 million, $3.1 million and $1.0 million represented the service periods for
July 1998 to March 1999, July 1997 to June 1998 and June 1997 and prior,
respectively. Additionally, in fiscal 1999 OmniCare-TN recognized a one-time
adverse settlement adjustment of $1.2 million. For the year ended June 30, 1999,
OmniCare-TN medical premiums related to excess adverse selection payments, which
had been based on the State of Tennessee's estimate, increased by $4.0 million
(364%), from $1.1 million for fiscal 1998 to $5.1 million for fiscal 1999. The
OmniCare-TN per member per month ("PMPM") premium rate -- based on an average
membership of 45,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to 44,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1998 -- was $122 for the year ended June 30, 1999, compared
to $119 for the year ended June 30, 1998 (excluding excess adverse selection
payments), an increase of 2% or $3.4 million. The 4% increase in member months
accounted for $1.8 million of the OmniCare-TN increase.
Premium revenues from the County Care program which began in April 1999
totaled $2.3 million in fiscal 1999.
27
29
UltraMedix Healthcare Systems, Inc. ("UltraMedix"), a Florida HMO
51%-owned by the Company, which ceased operations and was placed in liquidation
in March 1998, did not contribute any medical premium revenues in the year ended
June 30, 1999. Medical premium revenues from UltraMedix were $15.1 million in
the year ended June 30, 1998.
Management fees were $18.1 million in the year ended June 30, 1999, a
decrease of $6.9 million (28%) from fees of $25.0 million in the year ended June
30, 1998, and represent management fees earned from OmniCare-MI. The decrease is
due to the following: (i) reduction in the management fee percentage in June
1998 from 17% to 14%, which resulted in a decrease of $4.2 million; (ii) a
decrease in operating revenues of OmniCare-MI in fiscal 1999 due primarily to an
enrollment decrease of 6%, which resulted in a net decrease in management fees
of $1.6 million; and (iii) forgiveness of management fee revenues from
OmniCare-MI of $1.3 million.
Total expenses before income taxes from continuing operations totaled
$92.4 million in the year ended June 30, 1999, compared to $132.9 million in the
year ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $40.5 million (30%).
Medical service expenses were $59.9 million in the year ended June 30,
1999, a decrease of $10.4 million (15%) from medical service expenses of $70.3
million in the year ended June 30, 1998. Medical service expenses for
OmniCare-TN increased $4.8 million (9%), from $53.0 million in the year ended
June 30, 1998 to $57.8 million in the year ended June 30, 1999. The percentage
of medical service expenses to medical premium revenues -- the medical loss
ratio ("MLR") -- was 82% for the year ended June 30, 1999 and 83% for the year
ended June 30, 1998 for OmniCare-TN. The fiscal 1999 OmniCare-TN MLR includes an
approximate 3% reduction due to offsets to medical service expenses related to
the net recovery of $0.5 million in refundable advances made to a third party
dental administrator and an excess adverse selection payment of $1.0 million for
the period June 1997 and prior.
Medical service expenses for County Care in fiscal 1999 were $2.1
million from inception of the contract in April 1999. The MLR for County Care is
estimated at 92%, a rate management believes is adequate to establish reserves
sufficient to cover anticipated program medical expenses.
UltraMedix, which ceased operations in March 1998, did not incur any
medical service expenses in the year ended June 30, 1999. Medical service
expenses for UltraMedix were $17.3 million in the year ended June 30, 1998.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses (MG&A) decreased $17.0
million (38%), from $44.3 million in the year ended June 30, 1998 to $27.3
million in the year ended June 30, 1999, due to the following corporate and
Tennessee activities: (i) employee downsizing in fiscal 1998 and early fiscal
1999 which significantly contributed to the decrease in salary expense of $5.1
million; (ii) expensing of $1.0 million of deferred HMO licensure-related costs
in Louisiana and Pennsylvania in fiscal 1998; (iii) a decrease in professional
service fees of $2.0 million related primarily to the fiscal
28
30
1998 financial restructuring program; (iv) a decrease in promotion and
advertising expense of $2.6 million; and (v) a decrease of approximately $6.0
million related to UltraMedix and United American of Florida, Inc., the
Company's 80%-owned subsidiary, which ceased operations and were placed in
liquidation in March 1998.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $6.3 million (65%), from $9.7
million for the year ended June 30, 1998 to $3.4 million for fiscal 1999. Of the
decrease, $4.1 million is attributable to the write-off in fiscal 1998 of the
remaining intangibles related to the Company's purchase of UltraMedix due to the
liquidation of the Florida operation, $0.8 million related to the write-off or
revaluation of obsolete and other property and equipment in fiscal 1998 and $1.4
million is attributable to fully depreciated assets.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company recognized earnings from
continuing operations before income taxes of $1.1 million for the year ended
June 30, 1999, compared to a loss from continuing operations before income taxes
of $27.3 million for the year ended June 30, 1998, a $28.2 million change. Net
earnings from continuing operations were $0.6 million for the year ended June
30, 1999, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $22.9 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998, a change of $23.5 million.
The discontinued operation contributed no earnings or loss for the year
ended June 30, 1999, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million for the year ended
June 30, 1998.
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
Total revenues from continuing operations decreased $6.9 million
(6%), from $112.5 million in fiscal 1997 to $105.6 million in fiscal 1998.
Medical premium revenues were $78.6 million in fiscal 1998, an increase
of $8.2 million (12%) over medical premium revenues of $70.4 million in fiscal
1997. Medical premiums for OmniCare-TN increased $7.0 million (12%), from $56.5
million in fiscal 1997 to $63.5 million in fiscal 1998. Of the increase, $1.1
million relates to the TennCare Bureau's 1998 annual settlement to managed care
organizations for high cost chronic conditions of their members ("adverse
selection") and new medical technologies. The remaining OmniCare-TN increase of
$5.9 million is due to rate and enrollment increases. The OmniCare-TN per member
per month ("PMPM") premium rate -- based on an average membership of 44,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1998 compared to 43,000 for the prior fiscal year -- was
$119 in fiscal 1998, compared to $110 in fiscal 1997 (excluding excess adverse
selection payments), an increase of 8% or $4.7 million. The rate increase
included changes in the enrollment mix. A 2% increase in enrollment accounted
for the remaining $1.2 million increase.
Medical premiums for UltraMedix increased $1.2 million (9%), from $13.9
million in fiscal 1997 to $15.1 million in fiscal 1998.
29
31
Management fees were $25.0 million in fiscal 1998, a decrease of $15.0
million (38%) from fees of $40.0 million in fiscal 1997. The operating revenues
of OmniCare-MI decreased in fiscal 1998 due primarily to a net decrease in
premium and enrollment rates of approximately 10% and 2%, respectively, which
contributed to the decrease in management fees to the Company of approximately
$4.2 million. The State Medicaid initiative in Michigan was the primary factor
in the reduced premium rates. Additionally, the reduction in the management fee
percentage in June 1998 resulted in a decrease of management fees of $0.4
million in fiscal 1998. The Company recognized a decrease in management fee
revenues of $10.4 million from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998, related to the
Personal Physician Care, Inc. ("PPC," an Ohio HMO) management agreement, which
was terminated in May 1997.
Total expenses before income taxes from continuing operations totaled
$132.9 million in fiscal 1998, compared to $119.0 million in fiscal 1997, an
increase of $13.9 million (12%).
Medical service expenses were $70.3 million in fiscal 1998, an increase
of $12.5 million (22%) over medical service expenses of $57.8 million in fiscal
1997. Medical service expenses for OmniCare-TN increased by $7.6 million (17%),
from $45.4 million in fiscal 1997 to $53.0 million in fiscal 1998. Medical
service expenses for UltraMedix increased $4.9 million (40%), from $12.4 million
in fiscal 1997 to $17.3 million in fiscal 1998. The percentage of medical
service expenses to medical premium revenues, or the medical loss ratio ("MLR"),
was 83% and 80% for OmniCare-TN in fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 115%
and 88% for UltraMedix in fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses ("MG&A") decreased $8.5
million (16%), from $52.8 million in fiscal 1997 to $44.3 million in fiscal
1998, due to the following: (i) termination of the PPC management agreement,
which resulted in a $9.1 million decrease; (ii) an increase in professional fees
of $4.6 million, related primarily to the financial restructuring program of
$3.0 million, expensing deferred HMO licensure-related cost in Louisiana and
Pennsylvania of $1.0 million and information system development and maintenance
of $0.6 million; (iii) a $2.3 million loss related to the liquidation of the
assets and certain liabilities of the Florida operations; (iv) a $1.3 million
decrease in occupancy-related cost, of which $0.6 million related to the
renegotiation of the Company's corporate office lease space which reduced
accrued rent; and (v) decreases in salary costs of $3.0 million, promotional and
advertising activities of $0.9 million, consumables of $0.5 million and travel
of $0.6 million.
Depreciation and amortization in fiscal 1998 was $9.7 million, compared
to $4.1 million in fiscal 1997, an increase of $5.6 million (137%). Of this
increase, $3.5 million was due to the write-off of the remaining goodwill
related to the Company's purchase of UltraMedix due to the liquidation order as
to UltraMedix in fiscal 1998. Additional increases included $0.3 million due to
the change in estimate of the remaining useful life of the Company's managed
care software and the write-off of certain property and equipment of
approximately $0.8 million.
30
32
Bad debt expense increased $5.0 million (278%), from $1.8 million in
fiscal 1997 to $6.8 million in fiscal 1998. The increase related to impairment
losses established on certain of the Company's investments and the surplus note
receivable.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company recognized a loss from
continuing operations, before income taxes, of $27.4 million for fiscal 1998,
compared to a loss from continuing operations, before income taxes, of $6.5
million for fiscal 1997, a $20.9 million change. The loss from continuing
operations, net of income taxes, was $22.9 million for fiscal 1998, compared to
a loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, of $5.3 million for
fiscal 1997, a change of $17.6 million. The federal statutory tax rate for
continuing operations for both periods was approximately 34%. Goodwill
amortization related to equity investments, the write-off of capital investments
not deductible for tax purposes and state income taxes resulted in an effective
tax rate of approximately 16% for fiscal 1998 compared to 19% for the prior
fiscal year.
The loss from discontinued operation, net of income taxes, was $2.6
million for fiscal 1998, compared to earnings of $1.9 million for fiscal 1997, a
change of $4.5 million. This is due primarily to increased contract servicing
costs and the reduction in the net carrying value of net assets to the net
realizable value of $2.5 million.
The net loss for fiscal 1998 was $25.5 million, or $3.88 per share,
compared to a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.52 per share, for fiscal 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1999, the Company had (i) cash and cash equivalents and
short-term marketable securities of $18.6 million, compared to $14.7 million at
June 30, 1998; (ii) negative working capital of $1.7 million, compared to
negative working capital of $14.1 million at June 30, 1998; and (iii) a current
assets-to-current liabilities ratio of .96-to-1, compared to .64-to-1 at June
30, 1998. The principal sources of funds for the Company during the year ended
June 30, 1999 were $6.2 million provided from net operating activities,
including a federal income tax refund of $5.5 million, cash proceeds and
payments received on the secured note from the sale of CHF of $9.2 million and
proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $0.1 million -- offset by
discontinued operations of $1.0 million, $10.0 million to repay bank debt and
the purchase of property and equipment of $0.7 million.
The stock of CHF was sold on September 8, 1998, effective as of August
31, 1998, for $17.75 million, comprised of $2.0 million in cash and the buyer's
secured and unsecured notes for $13.25 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
The secured note was payable to the Company in four monthly installments of $0.5
million each through December 1998 with the balance due in January 1999, with
options to extend the final payment to March 1999, plus interest at the prime
rate on short-term unsecured commercial borrowings. The unsecured note was
payable to the
31
33
Company in two annual installments of $0.25 million with the balance due August
31, 2001, plus interest at 6% per annum. As required by the Company's line of
credit facility, the sale was approved by the bank and all proceeds from the
sale (including all payments on the two notes) were to be used to reduce the
Company's indebtedness to the bank.
In April 1999, the parties agreed to modify the secured note payment
terms, extending its maturity date to August 31, 1999, requiring additional
principal and interest payments totaling $0.9 million to be paid over the
extended period and requiring an additional limited personal guarantee by a
principal of the buyer for $1.5 million of the principal of the secured note. In
June 1999, as an inducement for the buyer to prepay both notes, the Company
agreed to a discount of $250,000 if by mid-August 1999 the buyer would pay to
the Company the balances of the secured and unsecured notes plus accrued and
unpaid interest.
Including payments on the secured note, $9.2 million of the sales
price, plus $0.8 million of interest, in cash was received through June 30,
1999. The remaining principal balance on the secured and unsecured notes and
accrued interest, net of the discount, in the sum of $8.5 million (including
$0.1 million of interest earned after June 30, 1999) was paid to the Company on
August 16, 1999.
In previous fiscal years, to satisfy applicable statutory requirements,
the Company provided $1.0 million in letters of credit on behalf of, and a $1.0
million capital contribution to, OmniCare-LA, and made a $2.1 million capital
contribution to PhilCare. The foregoing funds were provided by the Company from
its line of credit arrangement. Due to the cessation of its Louisiana
operations, the Company withdrew the $1.0 million capital contribution and is in
the process of cancelling its letter of credit commitments. The Company's Board
of Directors has determined to withdraw from all of its involvement in
Pennsylvania and to pursue recouping its investment in PhilCare. Toward that
end, however, with the support of all of PhilCare's stockholders, the Company
has made a presentation to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare
proposing that the Company take over the operation of PhilCare on an interim
basis to try to improve PhilCare's financial condition and business prospects;
and the Department has not yet responded to the proposal.
In September 1998, the Company and its bank lender amended the
Company's loan agreement and promissory note to: (i) decrease the principal sum
to $20.94 million and (ii) require reductions in the outstanding balance owed to
the bank at scheduled future dates, including the permanent reduction of the
bank's commitment to the lesser of the then outstanding principal balance or
$8.0 million by April 15, 1999.
In May 1999, the Company and its bank lender amended the Company's loan
agreement and promissory note requiring the Company to: (i) decrease the
principal amount to $16.6 million by September 1, 1999, (ii) permanently reduce
the outstanding balance to the lesser of the then outstanding principal balance
or $16.6 million by September 1, 1999, (iii) meet with the lender to establish
financial covenants for minimum net worth, debt service coverage ratio, and
maximum debt to worth ratio prior to September 1, 1999, and (iv) obtain or
arrange for the return or cancellation of the existing $0.5 million letter of
credit provided by the Company on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, UA-LA
and its wholly owned subsidiary, OmniCare Health Plan of Louisiana, Inc., by
32
34
June 30, 1999. The bank has granted the Company a waiver on items (iii) and
(iv), extending the date to October 1, 1999. The maturity date of the line of
credit is October 1, 1999. The bank and the Company have agreed to negotiate the
restructuring of the loan agreement and promissory note within the next 90 days,
and the bank has agreed to extend the maturity date during this period.
Pursuant to the promissory note, interest is payable monthly at the
bank's prime rate (7.75% at June 30, 1999) plus one percent.
The Company's restructuring efforts significantly contributed to the
$22.9 million loss from continuing operations in fiscal 1998. However, after
adjusting for non-cash activities and changes in assets and liabilities, the
Company generated positive cash flows from operations in fiscal 1998. The
Company's ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its future cash
needs will depend on a number of factors, including the continued stabilization
of OmniCare-MI, continuation of its restructuring efforts and achieving
increased operational efficiencies at its Tennessee operation.
Management expects that the OmniCare-MI corrective action plan, which
has been implemented, will continue to stabilize that Plan. The Plan has
successfully renegotiated certain major hospital provider contracts, including
its most significant hospital contract, which was one of the major components of
the corrective action plan, the effects of which will reduce medical costs.
RECENTLY ENACTED PRONOUNCEMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
United American Healthcare Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United
American Healthcare Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1999 and 1998,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and
comprehensive income, 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
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 1999 and 1998 consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of United American Healthcare Corporation and Subsidiaries as
of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
UNITED AMERICAN HEALTHCARE CORPORATION
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the year ended
June 30, 1997 of United American Healthcare Corporation (a Michigan
corporation). 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 audit. We did not audit the financial statements of
OmniCare Health Plan, Inc. of Tennessee, a 75 percent owned subsidiary, which
statements reflect total assets of $12,751,000 as of June 30, 1997 and total
revenues of $57,384,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. These statements were
audited by other independent auditors whose report thereon have been furnished
to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for OmniCare Health Plan, Inc. of Tennessee, is based solely on the
reports of the other independent auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the aforementioned report of other
independent auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of the
operations and the cash flows of United American Healthcare Corporation for the
year ended June 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
