PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
United Medicorp Texas, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Texas on
March 13, 1989 ("UMC-Texas"). On July 10, 1989, in an exchange of stock,
UMC-Texas was acquired by Gamma Resources, Inc., a publicly-owned Delaware shell
corporation, which simultaneously changed its name to United Medicorp, Inc. (the
"Company", "UMC" or the "Registrant"). On November 18, 1996, the Company filed
"Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Sterling Hospital
Systems, Inc." whereby this wholly owned subsidiary of UMC was renamed United
MoneyCorp, Inc. ("UMY"). UMY has been designated as the legal entity under which
UMC operates a collection agency. On August 7, 1998, UMC acquired 100% of the
common stock of Allied Health Options, Inc. ("AHO"), an Alabama corporation.
Effective June 30, 1999, the Company discontinued the operations of AHO. On
October 14, 1999, AHO filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Texas to liquidate pursuant to Chapter 7 of
Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy code. On November 16, 1999, the Chapter
7 bankruptcy 341 creditors meeting was held. Unless the context indicates
otherwise, references herein to the Company include UMC and its operating
subsidiary UMY, and exclude AHO.
The Company provides medical insurance claims processing and accounts
receivable management services to healthcare providers. The Company employs
proprietary and purchased software to provide claims processing, billing and
collection services to its customers, which are primarily hospitals, medical
clinics, and physician practices. The Company's medical claims processing
service is designed to provide an electronic claims processing, billing and
collection service that expedites payment of claims from private insurance
carriers or government payors such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Company also
offers to its customers processing and collection services for uncollected
"backlog" (aged) claims that were not originally submitted through the Company's
electronic claims processing system. UMY provides customer service and
collection services to health care providers.
The Company also provides interim staffing services under the name
style "UMClaimPros." This service line was introduced by the Company in December
1994. UMClaimPros are experienced claims processors available for customers'
interim staffing needs.
AHO was engaged in: outpatient services; twenty four hour a day
emergency care services; partial hospitalization services, or psychosocial
rehabilitation services; screening of patients being considered for admission to
State mental health facilities to determine the appropriateness of such
admission; and consultation and education services. AHO operated three Community
Mental Health Centers ("CMHC's") under the names: Behavioral Health of Mobile
("BHM"), Calhoun County Behavioral Health ("CCBH"), and Pensacola Center for
Behavioral Health ("PCBH"). BHM and CCBH obtained Health Care Financing
Administration ("HCFA") certification to provide partial hospitalization
services as a CMHC under Medicare Part A effective February 1, 1996. PCBH
obtained HCFA certification to provide partial hospitalization services as a
CMHC under Medicare Part A effective October 2, 1996.

MEDICAL BILLING INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The U.S. healthcare industry continues to experience tremendous change
as both federal and state governments as well as private industry work to bring
more efficiency and effectiveness to the healthcare system. UMC's business is
impacted by trends in the U.S. healthcare industry. As healthcare expenditures
have grown as a percentage of U.S. gross national product, public and private
healthcare cost containment measures have applied pressure to the margins of
healthcare providers. Historically, some payors have willingly paid the prices
established by providers while other payors, notably the government and managed
care companies, have paid far less than established prices (in many cases less
than the average cost of providing the services). As a consequence, prices
charged payors willing to pay established prices increased in order to recover
the cost of services purchased by the government and others but not paid by them
(i.e., cost shifting). Increasing complexity in the reimbursement system and
assumption of greater payment responsibility by individuals have caused
healthcare providers to experience increased receivables, bad debt levels and
higher business office costs. Providers overcome these pressures on
profitability by increasing their prices, by relying on demographic changes to
support increases in the volume and intensity of medical procedures, and by cost
shifting. As providers experience limitations in their continued ability to
shift cost in these ways, the amount of reimbursement received by UMC's clients
may be reduced and UMC's rate of growth in revenues, assuming present fee
levels, may decline. However, management believes UMC may benefit from
providers' attempts to offset declines in profitability through seeking more
effective and efficient business management services such as those provided by
UMC. UMC continues to evaluate governmental and industry reform initiatives in
an effort to position itself to take advantage of the opportunities created
thereby.
GOVERNMENTAL INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCES AND HEALTHCARE REFORM
The federal government in recent years has placed increased scrutiny on
the billing and collection practices of healthcare providers and related
entities, and particularly on possible fraudulent billing practices. This
heightened scrutiny has resulted in a number of high profile civil and criminal
investigations, lawsuits and settlements.
In November 1998, the Office of Inspector General ("OIG") released
compliance plan guidance for third party billing companies, in which it
identified certain areas which it viewed as particularly problematic, including,
but not limited to, billing for undocumented services, unbundling, upcoding,
inappropriate balance billing, inadequate resolution of overpayments, lack of
integrity in computer systems, failure to maintain the confidentiality of
information records, misuse of provider identification numbers, duplicate
billing and illegal billing company incentives. While not mandatory, OIG
encourages billing companies and healthcare providers to adopt compliance plans.
The existence of an effective compliance plan may reduce the severity of
criminal sanctions for certain healthcare related offenses and may be considered
in the settlement of civil investigations. Management believes that the
operations of the Company are in compliance with the OIG release.
In 1996, Congress enacted the Health Insurance Portability and
Accounting Act of 1996, which includes an expansion of provisions relating to
fraud and abuse, creates additional criminal offenses relating to healthcare
benefit programs, provides for forfeitures and asset-freezing orders in
connection with such healthcare offenses and contains provisions for instituting
greater coordination of federal, state and local enforcement agency resources
and actions.

EXISTING GOVERNMENT REGULATION
UMC's billing and collections activities are governed by numerous
federal and state civil and criminal laws. In general, these laws provide for
various fines, penalties, multiple damages, assessments and sanctions for
violations, including possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and certain
other federal and state healthcare programs.
Submission of claims for services that were not provided as claimed, or
which violate the regulations, may lead to civil monetary penalties, criminal
fines, imprisonment and/or exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid
and other federally funded healthcare programs. Specifically, the Federal False
Claims Act allows a private person to bring suit alleging false or fraudulent
Medicare or Medicaid claims or other violations of the statute. Such actions
have increased significantly in recent years and has increased the risk that a
company engaged in the healthcare industry, such as UMC and its customers, may
become the subject of a federal or state investigation, may ultimately be
required to defend a false claim action, may be subjected to government
investigation and possible criminal fines, may be sued by private payors and may
be excluded from Medicare, Medicaid and/or other federally funded healthcare
programs as a result of such an action.
Credit collection practices and activities are regulated by both
federal and state law. The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act sets forth
various provisions designed to eliminate abusive, deceptive and unfair debt
collection practices by collection agencies. Various states have also
promulgated laws and regulations that govern credit collection practices.
Under Medicare law, physicians and hospitals are only permitted to
assign Medicare claims to a billing and collection services vendor in certain
limited circumstances. Medicare regulations provide that a billing company that
prepares and sends bills for the provider or physician and does not receive and
negotiate the checks made payable to the provider or physician does not violate
the restrictions on assignment of Medicare claims. Management believes that its
practices meet the restrictions on assignment of Medicare claims because, among
other things, it bills only in the name of the provider, checks and payments for
Medicare services are made payable to the provider and the Company lacks any
power, authority or ability to negotiate checks made payable to the provider.
As a participant in the healthcare industry, the Company's operations
are also subject to extensive and increasing regulation by a number of
governmental entities at the federal and state levels. The Company is also
subject to laws and regulations relating to business corporations in general.
Management believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws.

CUSTOMER SERVICES AND FEE STRUCTURE
ONGOING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE MANAGEMENT SERVICES: Under the Company's
Ongoing service, the Company edits, submits, performs follow-up, submits
required additional information, and collects claims on behalf of its customers.
Customers using the Company's "Ongoing" claims processing service may opt to
receive computer software from the Company that facilitates claim preparation,
editing and transmission. In order to implement this package of services the
Company may install interface and editing software on a computer located in the
customer's offices. This "front end" system assists the customer's personnel in
the preparation and editing of claims, which are then electronically transmitted
to the Company and, in turn, transmitted directly or through an electronic
clearinghouse to the insurance carrier or governmental payor, as the case may
be. In cases where the insurance carrier or governmental payor cannot receive or
efficiently handle the Company's electronically transmitted claims, the Company
will print the claim on a standard industry form and mail it to the insurance
carrier. After the claims are processed, the Company's claims operations
personnel utilize computer-assisted follow-up methods to ensure timely
collection. In most cases the Company charges a percentage of actual claim
payment amounts collected as its fee. In certain cases, the Company may charge a
flat monthly fee for this service. Complete claim settlement reports are sent to
customers on a semi-weekly, weekly or monthly interval. Management believes that
the Company's claims collection experience to date and increasing awareness
throughout the healthcare industry of the need to cut costs and improve cash
flow will increase demand for this type of service. Ongoing accounts receivable
management services revenue accounted for approximately 86%, 68% and 73% of
total revenue in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
BACKLOG ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE MANAGEMENT SERVICES: Customers using the
"Backlog" service engage the Company to collect aged claims which usually have
been previously filed with an insurance carrier or governmental payor, but which
remain uncollected. When a customer enters into a backlog collection agreement,
the customer submits completed insurance claim forms to the Company. The claims
are then entered into the Company's claims management and collection system, and
the Company's standard claims processing and collection procedures are applied
to collect these backlog claims. The Company believes that this program is
attractive to potential backlog collection customers because the Company
collects outstanding claims at competitive rates. Backlog collection contracts
generally involve a one-time placement of claims for collection.
PATIENT BILLING SERVICES: The Company offers its customers the option
of having UMC bill the guarantor of each account the appropriate balance
remaining due after all insurance payments due on an account have been collected
and contractual allowances have been posted. Fees for this service vary
depending upon the average balance and collectibility of the accounts being
worked.
COLLECTION AGENCY SERVICES: These services involve collections of
either (a) "early out" accounts due from individual guarantors which are active
receivables placed for collection within one hundred twenty days of either the
date of service or the date payment was received from a third party payor such
as commercial insurance or Medicare, or (b) guarantor accounts which have been
written off as bad debt. Collection agency services revenue accounted for
approximately 11%, 22% and 17% of total revenue in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
UMCLAIMPROS: The Company began providing interim staffing services
under the UMClaimPros label in December, 1994. UMClaimPros are experienced
billing and collection personnel who are employed by
6
7
UMC and placed on temporary assignments in hospital and physician business
offices. Currently, the UMClaimPros service is only offered in the Dallas area.
ADVANCE FUNDING SERVICES: Customers who use the Company's advance
funding service submit claims to the Company, which in turn transmits them to
the appropriate payor. To implement this service, the Company purchases an
undivided interest in a claim and advances between 27% and 97% of the insurance
claim amount to the customer. Claim payments on purchased claims are made
directly to the Company. Following receipt of payment, the Company remits the
balance of the claims, net of fees earned, back to the customer. In the event
purchased claims are not paid within 120 days from funding, the Company has the
right to require the customer to repurchase the claim or offset the amount of
the payment against balances otherwise payable to the customer by the Company.
The Company generally continues its collection efforts for at least 120 days.
To qualify for the Company's advance funding service, a customer is
required to allow the Company to file appropriate Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements to establish the Company's interest in the customer's
claims. In addition, the Company provides advance funding services only on those
claims written for payors whose financial standing meets financial criteria
established by the Company. Furthermore, the Company requires that the customer
verify the existence and amount of coverage on each claim with the payor before
transmitting the claim to the Company. The Company verifies coverage with the
payor before advancing any funds to the customer. The Company's ability to raise
capital to fund the purchase of claims will determine the extent of the
Company's ability to offer advance funding services in the future.
CONSULTING SERVICES: During 1997 the Company began providing consulting
services to two operators of Community Mental Health Centers located in Alabama,
Florida and Tennessee. Consulting services were for the most part related to
billing and collection services provided by the Company, and were focused
primarily on compliance with regulations promulgated by the Healthcare Financing
Administration.
FEE STRUCTURE: The Company has established both contingency and
non-contingency based fee structures which are intended to allow prospects for
the Company's services a wide range of pricing options. Under the Company's
contingency based fee structure, fees are charged as a percentage of amounts
collected. For the Company's Ongoing Accounts Receivable Management service, the
Company generally charges healthcare providers contingency fees ranging from 1.5
to 14 percent of the amount the Company collects on behalf of the providers,
depending upon the average claim amount collected. Backlog Accounts Receivable
Management services are usually priced from 8 to 25 percent of the amount the
Company collects on behalf of the providers, depending upon the age of the
claims. Collection ratios generally range from 0 to about 40 percent for Backlog
projects and about 27 to 50 percent for Ongoing projects. Fees for Patient
Billing services range from 5.5 to 10 percent of the amounts collected, while
Collection Agency services are priced at 8 to 35 percent of amounts collected.
UMClaimPros services are priced at a per hour rate based on the fully burdened
salary of the assigned personnel. Management believes that the Company's fee
structure for its package of services is competitive.

SOFTWARE AND DATA PROCESSING
The Company's ability to provide its services on a large scale depends
on the successful operation of computer hardware and software capable of
handling the processing and transmission of insurance claims from the customer
to the insurance carrier, and through the intermediate steps that such claims
must take during the process. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company accepted
for processing approximately 222,000, 352,000 and 354,000 claims and accounts.
The Company continuously develops and enhances its systems using programmers
employed by the Company and minimal outside resources.
The claims processing software packages currently used by the Company
are specifically designed to expedite claims preparation and processing and,
simultaneously, to reduce errors associated with manual claims processing.
Claims are edited for certain errors, such as invalid or missing information,
using the claims processing software. Claims are then transmitted directly by
the Company to the third party payor or through any one of several insurance
claim clearinghouses used by the Company. The clearinghouses then format and
electronically transmit the claim data according to the specifications of the
individual third party payors, which avoids delays resulting from paper routing
and the errors resulting from third party payor data re-entry. If, however, the
third party payor cannot receive or efficiently handle the Company's
electronically transmitted claims, the Company will print the claim on a
standard industry form and mail it to the third party payor. The Company intends
to continue to enhance and refine its claims processing, customer reporting,
claims tracking and collection functions during 2000 and thereafter in order to
satisfy unique customer requirements.
UMY uses a purchased software application for its collection agency
services. This application runs on the Company's AS/400 hardware platform, and
handles all of the necessary processing of accounts, telephone calls, collection
letters and reports. Custom programming for this application is handled
primarily through the vendor. The Company has the source code for the
application and can modify the application whenever necessary. This software
will continue to be modified and enhanced to improve performance and customer
satisfaction.
COMPETITION
The business of medical insurance claims processing, accounts
receivable management and collections agency services is highly competitive and
fragmented. UMC competes with certain national and regional electronic claims
processing companies, claims collection companies, claims management companies,
factoring and financing firms, software vendors and traditional in-house claims
processing and collections departments of hospitals and other healthcare
providers. Many competitors of UMC are several times larger than the Company and
could, if they chose to enter the market for the Company's line of services,
devote resources and capital to the market that are much greater than those
which the Company currently has available or may have available in the future.
There can be no assurance that competition from current or future competitors
will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company.
EMPLOYEE TRANSITION TO PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYER ORGANIZATION
Effective, August 26, 1999, UMC executed an agreement with Administaff,
Inc., a professional employer organization ("PEO") whereby Administaff became
the employer of record for all UMC employees. Adminstaff will serve as an
off-site, full service human resources department providing
8
9
employment administration, regulatory and statutory compliance, employer
liability management, benefit management, and various other human resources
related services. Fees for this service are approximately 24% of gross salary
expense and are subject to change from time to time. Of this 24%, approximately
17% represents pass through payroll taxes and benefits, approximately 4%
represents salaries for human resource specialists no longer employed by the
Company and approximately 3% represents the incremental cost of the value added
services provided.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Management organizes consolidated UMC around differences in services
offered. UMC provides medical insurance claims processing, medical accounts
receivable management and other healthcare related ancillary business office
services. UMY provides customer service functions, payment monitoring, early out
and bad debt account collection agency services to the health care industry. UMC
and UMY are aggregated into one reportable health care Business Office Services
segment based on the similar nature of the medical claim and account collection
services, nature of the information technology and human resource production
processes and service delivery methodologies, and the predominantly health care
industry customer base of both UMC and UMY.
PATENTS AND TRADE SECRETS
As has been typical in software-intensive industries, the Company does
not hold any patents. The Company believes that patent protection is of less
importance in an industry characterized by extremely rapid technological change
than the expertise, experience and creativity of the Company's product
development personnel. Employees of the Company are required to sign
non-disclosure agreements. The Company relies on these agreements, its service
contracts with customers, and trade secrets to protect its proprietary software,
and to date, has had no indication of any material breach of these agreements.
EMPLOYEES
At March 31, 2000, the Company had 44 employees. The Company believes
that its relations with its employees are good. Its employees are not currently,
nor have they ever been, represented by a union and there have not been any
stoppages, strikes or organizational attempts.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
UMC and UMY's corporate offices and operations are located in a 6,836
square feet leased office space in Dallas, Texas. During the period from August
7, 1998 to October 14, 1999, AHO's home office was jointly located in this
Dallas office space. This lease expires in January, 2001. On August 2, 1999,
management exercised its office space reduction option whereby 3,300 square feet
of office space was vacated on September 2, 1999 resulting in a monthly expense
reduction of approximately $3,500. Management believes that its facilities are
well-located and are in good condition.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
At and for the year ended December 31, 1999 and through March 31, 2000,
the Company has not been a party to any legal proceeding.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed may include forward-looking statements relating to such matters as
anticipated financial performance, legal issues, business prospects,
technological developments, new products, research and development activities
and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that forward-looking statements
include the intent, belief, or current expectations of the Company and members
of its senior management team, as well as the assumptions on which such
statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from
those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors
currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements are set forth in the safe
harbor compliance statement for forward-looking statements included as Exhibit
99.1 to this Form 10-K and are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The
Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements

changes to future operating results over time.
UMC and UMY derive their primary revenues from medical claims
processing and accounts receivable management services. A substantial portion of
UMC and UMY revenues are derived from recurring monthly charges to its customers
under service contracts that typically are cancelable with a 30 to 60 day
notice. For the year ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, approximately 91%,
89% and 90% of UMC and UMY revenues were recurring. Recurring revenues are
defined as revenues derived from services that are used by the UMC and UMY
customers in connection with
12
13
ongoing business, and accordingly exclude revenues from backlog accounts
receivable management, advance funding, UMClaimPros, and consulting services.
The following table sets forth for each period indicated the volume and
gross dollar amount of insurance claims received and fees recognized for each of
the Company's two principal accounts receivable management services.

For Ongoing claims, there is typically a time lag of approximately 5 to
90 days from contract execution to complete development of system interfaces and
definition of procedural responsibilities with customer personnel. During this
period, Company personnel survey the customer's existing operations and prepare
for installation. Once the customer begins transmitting claims to the Company,
there is usually a time lag of 30 to 90 days between transmission of claims to
third party payors and collection of those claims from payors.

For placements of collection accounts, there is typically a time lag of
approximately 15 to 45 days from contract execution to electronic transfer of
accounts from the customer. In many cases, collection accounts are transferred
to UMY via hard copy media, which requires UMY employees to manually enter
collection account data into the UMY system. Collection fee percentages charged
to the customer vary depending on the service provided, the age and average
balance of accounts.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
During 1999, $2,486,000 or 79% of revenue was earned from the
Washington Hospital Center ("WHC"). Of this WHC revenue, 63% was provided as a
result of the Ongoing Accounts Receivable Management services contract, as
amended, entered into in 1992, and 16% related to a physician billing contract
amendment entered into in May, 1997.
During 1998, 89% of revenue was earned from two customers: the WHC and
Presbyterian Healthcare System ("PHS"). WHC provided revenue totaling
$2,740,000, or 66% of total revenue. Of this WHC revenue, 65% was provided as a
result of the Ongoing Accounts Receivable Management services contract, as
amended, entered into in 1992, and 35% related to a physician billing contract
amendment entered into in May, 1997. PHS provided revenues, primarily under
various early out and bad debt collection contacts entered into in 1997,
totaling $985,000, or 23% of total revenue. Of this PHS revenue, 87% was
provided from Collection Agency services, and 13% was provided from UMClaimPros
services.
During 1997, 86% of revenue was earned from two customers: WHC and PHS.
WHC provided revenue totaling $1,775,820, or 63% of total revenue. Of this
revenue, 94% was provided as a result of the Ongoing Accounts Receivable
Management services contract, as amended, entered into in 1992, of which 13%
related to a physician billing contract entered into in May, 1997, and 6% was
provided as a result of a Patient Billing services contract dated September,
1996. PHS provided revenues, primarily under various early out and bad debt
collection contacts entered into in 1997, totaling $645,697, or 23% of total
revenue.
14
15
Of this revenue, 66% was provided from Collection Agency services, and 34% was
provided from UMClaimPros services.
LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
In September, 1999, the Company was informally notified by WHC that
claim transmissions from the Department of Emergency Medicine ("WHCDEM") would
terminate effective November 1, 1999. Formal notification was subsequently
received on November 4, 1999. Revenue from this contract was generated through
November 30, 1999 consistent with revenues generated on a monthly basis through
September 30, 1999, and thereafter ramped down through and will terminate on or
about April 30, 2000. Revenue from this contract accounted for approximately 7%
and 6% of total revenue during 1999 and 1998, respectively. It is management's
understanding that this decision was related to changes in the outsourcing
strategy of WHCDEM that included combining the outsourced claims management
services with coding services not offered by UMC, and other factors.
On July 28, 1999, the Company was formally notified by WHC that claim
transmissions from the Department of Women's Services ("WHCDWS") would terminate
effective October 1, 1999. Revenue from this contract was generated through
November 1, 1999 consistent with revenues generated on a monthly basis through
September 30, 1999, and thereafter ramped down through and terminated on or
about December 31, 1999. Revenue from this contract accounted for approximately
9% and 1% of total revenue during 1999 and 1998, respectively. It is
management's understanding that this decision was related to cost reduction
measures in response to declining reimbursement attributable to the Balanced
Budget Act of 1997, and other factors.
On March 15, 1999, the Company was formally notified by PHS that it had
not been selected to provide continuing collection agency services. The Company
was informed that this decision was the result of the merger of PHS with another
health care system and was in no way related to the quality of the services
provided by the Company to PHS. The Company received weekly account placements
through May 4, 1999, and generated its last revenue from PHS in August, 1999.
Revenue from this contract accounted for approximately 4%, 23%, and 23% of total
revenue during 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
CONTRACT RESTRUCTURING WITH SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
On July 28, 1999, WHC management verbally expressed its intent to
restructure the current Hospital Billing contract due to cost reduction
measurers in response to declining reimbursement attributable to the Balances
Budget Act of 1997. On December 27, 1999, the Hospital Billing contract
amendment was executed. This amendment called for UMC to continue to provide a
majority of its current services to WHC under a fifty percent fee reduction to
be effective for claims with dates of service on and after October 1, 1999.
Revenue from this contract was generated through November 1, 1999 consistent
with revenues generated on a monthly basis through September 30, 1999, and
thereafter ramped down through and stabilized at the new rate on or about
December 15, 1999. Revenue from this contract accounted for approximately 63%,
42%, and 52% of total revenue during 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

16
MANAGEMENT'S PLAN WITH RESPECT TO LOST REVENUES
As a result of the aforementioned changes within its customer base,
management has taken certain actions in an attempt to better position the
Company. These actions include, but are not limited to:
o Headcount at March 31, 2000, as compared to March 31, 1999, had been
reduced by 16 employees to 44 employees primarily through attrition. This
reduction resulted in a monthly gross salary expense reduction of
approximately $33,000.
o The Company restructured its sales organization to improve focus on the
Texas market and increase the emphasis on services provided by UMY.
o A medical claims management contract for ongoing claims was executed on
June 17, 1999, with a hospital system located in Virginia. This contract is
fully implemented and generated revenue of approximately $199,000 in 1999.
o During 1999 and through March 31, 2000, UMY executed approximately 15 new
customer service and collection agreements which provided revenues of
approximately $73,000 in 1999.
o The Company executed the following contracts which generated no revenue in
1999:
o A medical claims management contract for backlog and on-going claims
was executed on March 22, 2000, with a major hospital system located
in New Mexico.
o A collection services contract for backlog and on-going claims was
executed on February 10, 2000, with a central Texas diagnostic imaging
facility.
o Customer service contracts were executed on March 13, 2000 and
December 10, 1999, respectively, with hospitals located in south and
central Texas.
o A medical claims management contract for backlog claims was executed
on November 24, 1999, with a hospital located in the Caribbean.
o During 1998 and 1999, UMC provided various forms of working and debt
repayment capital to AHO totaling approximately $1,059,000. On October 14,
1999, AHO filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Northern District of Texas to liquidate pursuant to Chapter 7 of
Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In conjunction with the
filing of the bankruptcy petition, UMC accrued approximately $68,000
related to lease guarantees, storage fees and professional fees.
o On August 2, 1999, management exercised its office space reduction option
whereby 3,300 square feet of office space was vacated on September 2, 1999
resulting in a monthly expense reduction of approximately $3,500.
o Management is evaluating new service lines to compliment its traditional
medical claims processing and accounts receivable management services.
Possible new service lines include a focus on healthcare consumerism and
healthcare e-business leveraging the Company's industry experience and
technological infrastructure.
16
17
Management continues to vigorously pursue new business while rigorously
managing expenses without negatively impacting service levels. However, there
can be no assurance that UMC will be successful in obtaining new business and
producing incremental profits and cash flow.
If management is unable to successfully develop and implement new
profitable customer contracts and new service lines or align expenses with
future cash requirements, it will be required to adopt alternative strategies,
which may include but are not limited to, actions such as reducing management
and line employee headcount and compensation, restructuring existing financial
obligations, seeking a strategic merger or acquisition, seeking the sale of the
Company or the Company's public shell, and/or seeking additional debt or equity
capital. There can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be
effected on satisfactory terms.

========= ========= =========
1999 COMPARED TO 1998
REVENUES decreased $1,020,000 or 24% primarily due to the following:
o Ongoing Accounts Receivable Management Services revenue of $2,720,000 in
1999 decreased by $137,000 compared to 1998 primarily due to effect of the
aforementioned loss and restructuring of significant WHC contracts.
Assuming that there are no significant changes in the existing volume and
mix of claims placed by the Company's customers as of December 31, 1999,
management believes that ongoing accounts receivable management services
will generate revenues from such customers of approximately $1.4 million in
2000.
17
18
o Collection Agency Services revenue of $332,000 in 1999 decreased by
$583,000 compared to 1998 primarily due to the aforementioned loss of the
PHS contact. Revenue in 1999 from PHS was $112,000 compared to $854,000 in
1998. Assuming that there are no significant changes in the existing volume
and mix of accounts placed by the Company's customers as of December 31,
1999, management believes that collection agency services will generate
revenues from such customers of approximately $250,000 in 2000.
o Other revenue of $14,000 in 1999 decreased by $99,000 compared to 1998
primarily due to decreased funding fees related to Advance Funding Services
and decreased Consulting Services. Approximately $51,000 of 1998's other
revenue related to services provided to AHO. Upon the acquisition of AHO,
billing for services performed by UMC was terminated.
o UMClaimPros revenue of $93,000 in 1999 decreased by $102,000 compared to
1998 primarily due to decreased utilization at PHS.
WAGES AND BENEFITS expense decreased $594,000 or 22% primarily due to
headcount reductions through attrition in conjunction with the aforementioned
revenue reductions. During 1999, monthly employee headcount averaged 53 compared
to 80 during 1998. Assuming no significant change in the Company's core
services, management expects that wages and salaries should remain at
approximately 65% of revenues.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") expense decreased $201,000
or 25% primarily due to expense reductions in conjunction with the
aforementioned revenue reductions. Assuming no significant change in the
Company's core services, management expects that SG&A should remain at
approximately 20% of revenues.
OFFICE, VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT RENTAL expense increased $14,000 or 11%
primarily due to the $14,000 payment required in conjunction with the August 2,
1999 office space reduction option whereby 3,300 square feet of office space was
vacated on September 2, 1999 resulting in a monthly expense reduction of
approximately $3,500. Under the current arrangement, monthly office rent through
January 31, 2000 and 2001 will be $7,200 and 7,400, respectively. Monthly
vehicle and other rental expenses will total approximately $1,000 and $500,
respectively.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION expense increased $30,000 or 35%
primarily due to amortization expense related to assets under capital leases
recorded in 1999 and the full year effect of assets under capital leases and
fixed assets acquired throughout 1998.
PROFESSIONAL FEES expense increased $24,000 or 54% primarily due to
increased audit fees allocated to UMC in 1999 as compared to 1998 and $10,000 in
expense related to capital raising efforts throughout 1999.
INTEREST, NET increased $38,000 or 452% primarily due to increased
credit facility borrowings and promissory note borrowings required to support
AHO.
OTHER EXPENSE increased $26,000 primarily due to accruals related to
AHO and a loss on the rollover financing of the Company's IBM AS/400. These
expenses are non-recurring.
18
19
LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - AHO is comprised primarily of
salaries paid, bad debt expense, professional fees and other SG&A.
GAIN ON DISPOSAL OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - AHO represents the excess
of AHO's liabilities liquidated via the aforementioned Chapter 7 bankruptcy over
the working capital provided from UMC to AHO during the period from August 7,
1998 to October 14, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL SOURCES
At December 31, 1999, the Company's liquid assets, consisting of cash,
totaled $122,000 compared to $89,000 at December 31, 1998. The working capital
deficit was $(199,000) and ($748,000) at December 31, 1999 and December 31,
1998, respectively. Working capital increased due to deconsolidation of AHO
effective October 14, 1999.
Operating activities from continuing operations in 1999 provided cash
of $570,000, compared to $435,000 cash provided in operating activities from
continuing operations in 1998. This increase is primarily due to factoring of
invoices totaling $219,000 which provided cash of $179,000. In 1999, cash flow
from continuing operations was adequate to cover all working capital and
liquidity requirements of continuing operations. At September 30, 1999, UMC
accrued certain AHO liabilities totaling approximately $68,000. With the
exception of these accruals, Management does not anticipate using any additional
cash in support of AHO.
Operating activities from the discontinued operations of AHO through
October 14, 1999 used cash of $298,000, compared to $687,000 cash used in the
discontinued operations of AHO for the five months ended December 31, 1998. Cash
flow from the discontinued operations of AHO was not adequate to cover all
working capital and debt requirements of the discontinued operations of AHO.
Financing from UMC in the form of intercompany loans totaling $704,000 and
$507,000 at October 14, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, was required.
As a result of AHO's bankruptcy, AHO will not repay these loans to UMC.
Investing activities in 1999 consisted of the purchases of furniture,
fixtures and equipment. The purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment used
cash of $15,000 compared to $78,000 used in 1998. This decrease in investing
activities corresponds with the aforementioned revenue reduction and required
cash conservation. The Company's fixed assets are in good working order and
sufficient to support continuing operations.
Financing activities in 1999 consisted of net repayment of the
Company's revolving line of credit totaling $200,000, borrowings under a bank
note payable totaling $100,000, and principal payments on capital lease
obligations and the note payable which used cash of $125,000.
Effective January 4, 1999, the Company executed a promissory note (the
"Note") with a Bank Lender, for $100,000 bearing interest at the prime rate plus
one percent. Throughout 1999, the interest rate ranged from 8.75% to 9.5%. On
March 22, 2000, the interest rate increased to 10.0%. The Note matures on
January 4, 2001 and requires monthly principal payments of $4,167. Simple
interest is computed and paid on a monthly basis. The Note is secured by the
fixed assets of UMC.
19
20
On December 7, 1999, the Company was informed by Bank United, which had
acquired the Bank Lender, that its $400,000 revolving line of credit would not
be renewed on its scheduled renewal date of December 11, 1999. This revolving
line of credit was paid in full on December 28, 1999 and replaced with a
factoring agreement as described below.
On December 28, 1999, the Company executed a $500,000 recourse
factoring agreement which may be terminated by either party with ten days
notice. The agreement is secured by all of the Company's non-factored accounts
receivable and is personally guaranteed by Peter Seaman, Chairman and CEO and
Ken Culver, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Other significant terms
of the factoring agreement include recourse for invoices remaining unpaid at 90
days, interest at prime plus 2.5%, and a factoring fee of 1% of the face value
of each invoice.
During various periods of time for the twelve months ending March 31,
2001, management anticipates the possibility that cash requirements could exceed
cash on hand, cash to be generated from operating activities, if any, and cash
available from UMC's recourse factoring agreement, if any. These possible
periods of liquid deficiency are attributed to the reduction of revenues from
current and former customers as previously explained.
UMC has taken the following actions to address the possible periods of
liquid deficiency:
o Headcount at March 31, 2000, as compared to March 31, 1999, had been
reduced by 16 employees to 44 employees primarily through attrition. This
reduction resulted in a monthly gross salary expense reduction of
approximately $33,000.
o The Company restructured its sales organization to improve focus on the
Texas market and increase the emphasis on services provided by UMY.
o A medical claims management contract for ongoing claims was executed on
June 17, 1999, with a hospital system located in Virginia. This contract is
fully implemented and generated revenue of approximately $199,000 in 1999.
o During 1999 and through March 31, 2000, UMY executed approximately 15 new
customer service and collection agreements which provided revenues of
approximately $73,000 in 1999.
o The Company executed the following contracts which generated no revenue in
1999:
o A medical claims management contract for backlog and on-going claims
was executed on March 22, 2000, with a major hospital system located
in New Mexico.
o A collection services contract for backlog and on-going claims was
executed on February 10, 2000, with a central Texas diagnostic imaging
facility.
o Customer service contracts were executed on March 13, 2000 and
December 10, 1999, respectively, with hospitals located in south and
central Texas.
o A medical claims management contract for backlog claims was executed
on November 24, 1999, with a hospital located in the Caribbean.
20
21
o During 1998 and 1999, UMC provided various forms of working and debt
repayment capital to AHO totaling approximately $1,059,000. On October
14, 1999, AHO filed a voluntary petition in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to liquidate
pursuant to Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code. In conjunction with the filing of the bankruptcy petition, UMC
accrued approximately $68,000 related to lease guarantees, storage
fees and professional fees.
o On August 2, 1999, management exercised its office space reduction
option whereby 3,300 square feet of office space was vacated on
September 2, 1999 resulting in a monthly expense reduction of
approximately $3,500.
o Management is evaluating new service lines to compliment its
traditional medical claims processing and accounts receivable
management services. Possible new service lines include a focus on
healthcare consumerism and healthcare e-business leveraging the
Company's industry experience and technological infrastructure.
Management continues to vigorously pursue new business while rigorously
managing expenses without negatively impacting service levels. However, there
can be no assurance that UMC will be successful in obtaining new business and
producing incremental profits and cash flow.
If management is unable to successfully develop and implement new
profitable customer contracts and new service lines or align expenses with
future cash requirements, it will be required to adopt alternative strategies,
which may include but are not limited to, actions such as reducing management
and line employee headcount and compensation, restructuring existing financial
obligations, seeking a strategic merger or acquisition, seeking the sale of the
Company or the Company's public shell, and/or seeking additional debt or equity
capital. There can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be
effected on satisfactory terms.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in
a system failure or miscalculation causing disruptions of operations, including,
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send and
receive electronic data, or engage in similar normal business activities.
The Company has experienced no adverse effect from the Year 2000 issue.
1998 COMPARED TO 1997
REVENUES increased $1,375,000 or 49% primarily due to the following:
o Ongoing Accounts Receivable Management Services revenue of $2,857,000 in
1998 increased by $925,000 compared to 1997 primarily due to full year
effect in 1998 of the WHC Physician Billing Department ("WHCPBD") ongoing
accounts receivable management services agreement executed on
21
22
May 5, 1997. For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the WHCPBD
agreement generated revenue of $972,000 and $221,000, respectively.
o Collection Agency Services revenue of $915,000 in 1998 increased by
$439,000 compared to 1997 primarily due to the full year effect in 1998 of
the collection services agreements executed with PHS at various times in
1997.
o Other revenue of $113,000 in 1998 increased by $78,000 compared to 1997
primarily due to increased funding fees related to Advance Funding Services
and increased Consulting Services. Approximately $77,000 of this revenue
related to services performed for AHO. Upon the acquisition of AHO, billing
for services performed by UMC was terminated.
o UMClaimPros revenue of $195,000 in 1998 decreased by $41,000 compared to
1997 primarily due to decreased utilization from existing customers.
WAGES AND BENEFITS expense increased $765,000 or 40% primarily due to
increased headcount and increased bonuses for UMY collectors related to
increased UMY collections and revenues. Approximately $727,000 or 95% of this
increase relates to increased headcount required to support increased processing
volume as well as to enhance the management infrastructure. During 1998, monthly
employee headcount averaged 80 compared to 57 during 1997. Approximately $37,000
or 5% of this increase relates to UMY collector bonuses.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") expense increased $323,000
or 66% primarily due to increased travel associated with supporting existing
customers and developing new business, increased printing, postage and telephone
expense related to UMY and the WHCPBD agreement, increased contract labor to
temporarily fill open positions, increased recruiting expenses related to open
positions and various other expenses to support a larger revenue stream and
increased headcount.
PROFESSIONAL FEES expense decreased $9,000 or 17% primarily due to a
reduction in financial statement audit fees in conjunction with the change in
the Company's independent accountants.
OFFICE, VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT RENTAL expense increased $40,000 or 46%
primarily due to the lease of two company vehicles utilized by the sales force
at a monthly expense of approximately $1,000 per month compared to no leased
vehicles during 1997, as well as the full year effect in 1998 of leasing an
additional 1,906 square feet of office space on July 31, 1997 required for UMY.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION expense decreased $20,000 or 18%
primarily due to a $20,000 decrease in UMC depreciation expense related to the
AS/400 which was fully depreciated at December 31, 1997.
PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS expense increased $33,000 primarily due
to the write-off of UMC account balances totaling $21,000 and a $6,000 increase
in the provision.
INTEREST, NET increased $3,000 or 70% primarily due to the draw by the
Company on its Credit Facility which first occurred in November, 1998 in order
to support AHO.

the Company accepted the resignation of the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
as the Company's independent auditor.
The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Company's financial
statements for the two years ended December 31, 1997 did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Company's financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1996 included an explanatory paragraph relating to an
uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
There were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during the
audits of the Company's financial statements for the two years ended December
31, 1997, and any subsequent interim period preceding the change on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused it to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
report.
On January 25, 1999, the Company appointed Hein + Associates LLP as its
independent accountant. Hein + Associates LLP accepted such appointment. The
Company had no relationship with Hein + Associates LLP required to be reported

(3) The last reported sale of the Company's Common Stock as reported on the
NASD OTC Bulletin Board as of December 31, 1999 was $0.03 per share. Value
is calculated on the basis of the difference between the option exercise
price and $0.03 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
underlying the option.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
An officer of the Company who also serves as a Director of the Company
receives no additional compensation for serving as a Director or as a member or
chair of a committee. Members receive no cash compensation for serving on the
Board of Directors. Board members are reimbursed for expenses of meeting
attendance.
Pursuant to the 1995 Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director
shall receive nonqualified stock options for the purchase of 25,000 shares of
Common Stock. These options shall be granted on the first and each subsequent
anniversary of the approval of the 1995 Stock Option Plan by stockholders, as
long as the director serves on the Board. The exercise price shall be the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date the nonqualified stock options are
granted. One half of the option shall be exercisable immediately and the
remainder of the option shall become exercisable on the first anniversary date
of the grant. All options shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the date
granted.
Subsequent to stockholder approval of the 1995 Stock Option Plan, the
Board of Directors determined that in light of the condition of the Company
immediately prior to November 12, 1996 when the current members of the Board of
Directors were elected, the provisions of the 1995 Stock Option Plan regarding
director compensation were inadequate to attract and retain qualified board
members. As such, on April 1, 1997, warrants to purchase a total of 1,200,000
shares of the Company's common stock at $0.08 per share were issued to the three
non-employee board members with each member receiving a warrant for 400,000
shares. These warrants are exercisable 33 1/3% immediately, 66 2/3% after twelve
months from the effective date of the grant, and 100% after twenty four months
from the effective date of the grant. These warrants expire on the earlier of
(a) March 31, 2007, (b) the date on which the Director's services are terminated
for cause, (c) three months after the expiration of the Director's term,
resignation from the Board of Directors, or termination of the Director due to
the sale of the Company or (d) twelve months after the services as a Director
are terminated by reason of the Director's death of disability. None of these
warrants had been exercised as of December 31, 1999.
On March 19, 1997, each non-employee member of the Board of Directors
entered into a Director's Incentive Compensation Agreement ("DICA"). This
agreement has a term of three years under which the director shall be paid a
commission based on fees billed and collected from new customers sold by or with
26
27
the assistance from such director. The commission will be 10 percent during the
first year of a contract with a given customer, 6 percent during the second
contract year, and 4 percent thereafter. The Director's compensation may be paid
in either cash, common stock, or stock purchase warrants upon approval of the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee. For the year ended December 31, 1999,
the Company recorded no commission expense related to a Director in conjunction
with commissions earned under the DICA.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The current members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs.
McConnell, Lewis and Bumgarner. None of the members of the Company's
Compensation Committee served as a member of the compensation committee or other
board committees performing similar functions of any other registered entity in
1999.
