SYMBION, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
Symbion, Inc. (the Company), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that own and operate a national network of short stay surgical facilities in joint ownership with physicians and physician groups, hospitals and hospital systems. As of March 31, 2010, the Company owned and operated 57 surgical facilities, including 53 ambulatory surgery centers and four surgical hospitals, and managed eight additional ambulatory surgery centers and one physician network. The Company owns a majority ownership interest in 35 of the 57 surgical facilities and consolidates 51 of these surgical facilities for financial reporting purposes, of which 50 are included in continuing operations.
On August 23, 2007, the Company was acquired by an investment group led by an affiliate of Crestview Partners, L.P. (Crestview). As a result of this merger (the Merger), the Company no longer has publicly traded equity securities. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Symbion Holdings Corporation (Holdings), which is owned by an investor group that includes affiliates of Crestview, members of the Companys management and other investors.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Examples include, but are not limited to, estimates of accounts receivable allowances, professional and general liabilities and the estimate of deferred tax assets or liabilities. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended the consolidation guidance related to variable-interest entities. The amendments include the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, revised criteria for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable-interest entity, and expanded the requirements for reconsideration of the primary beneficiary. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2010. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as interests in partnerships and limited liability companies controlled by the Company through ownership of a majority voting interest or other rights granted to the Company by contract to manage and control the affiliates business. The physician limited partners and physician minority members of the entities the Company controls are responsible for the supervision and delivery of medical services. The governance rights of limited partners and minority members are restricted to those that protect their financial interests. Under certain partnership and operating agreements governing these partnerships and limited liability companies, the Company could be removed as the sole general partner or managing member for certain events such as material breaches of the partnership or operating agreement, gross negligence or bankruptcy. These protective rights do not preclude consolidation of the respective partnerships and limited liability companies. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, under the provisions of ASU 2009-17. The variable interest entities are surgical facilities located in the states of Florida and New York. With regard to the New York facility, the Company is the primary beneficiary due to the level of variability within the management services agreement as well as the obligation and likelihood of absorbing the majority of expected gains and losses. Regarding the Florida facility, the Company has fully guaranteed debt obligations. The debt obligations are subordinated to such a level that the Company absorbs the majority of the expected gains and losses. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 include assets of $14.6 million and $14.5 million, respectively, and liabilities of $4.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, related to the variable interest entities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of receivables from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, employers and patients. The Company recognizes that revenues and receivables from government agencies are significant to its operations, but it does not believe that there is significant credit risk associated with these government agencies. Concentration of credit risk with respect to other payors is limited because of the large number of such payors. Accounts receivable are recorded net of contractual adjustments and allowances for doubtful accounts to reflect accounts receivable at net realizable value. The Company does not require collateral for private pay patients. Accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

The Companys policy is to review the standard aging schedule, by surgical facility, to determine the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. Patient account balances are reviewed for delinquency based on contractual terms. This review is supported by an analysis of the actual net revenues, contractual adjustments and cash collections received. If the Companys internal collection efforts are unsuccessful, the Company manually reviews the patient accounts. An account is written off only after the Company has pursued collection with legal or collection agency assistance or otherwise deemed an account to be uncollectible.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of medical and drug supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Noncontrolling Interests
The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of surgical facilities in which the Company has sufficient ownership and rights to allow the Company to consolidate the surgical facilities. The Company has recorded noncontrolling interests in the earnings (losses) of such surgical facilities.

Other Comprehensive Loss
The Company reports other comprehensive loss as a measure of changes in stockholders equity that results from recognized transactions. Other comprehensive loss of the Company resulted from adjustments due to the fluctuation of the value of the Companys interest rate swap. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on October 31, 2007. The value of the interest rate swap was recorded as a current liability of $3.7 million at March 31, 2010. The Company previously recorded the change in value of the interest rate swap as other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2008, the Company discontinued hedge accounting treatment for the interest rate swap and began recognizing the amount in accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings, ratably over the remaining life of the hedging instrument.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
On August 23, 2007, the Company entered into a $350.0 million senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The senior secured credit facility extends credit in the form of two term loans of $125.0 million each (the first, the Tranche A Term Loan and the second, the Tranche B Term Loan) and a $100.0 million revolving, swingline and letter of credit facility (the Revolving Facility). The swingline facility is limited to $10.0 million and the swingline loans are available on a same-day basis. The letter of credit facility is limited to $10.0 million. The Company is the borrower under the senior secured credit facility, and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries are guarantors. Under the terms of the senior secured credit facility, entities that become wholly owned subsidiaries must also guarantee the debt.
The Tranche A Term Loan matures on August 23, 2013, the Tranche B Term Loan matures on August 23, 2014 and the Revolving Facility matures on August 23, 2013. The Tranche A Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1.6 million through September 30, 2010, quarterly payments of $4.7 million from December 31, 2010 through September 30, 2011, quarterly payments of $6.3 million from December 31, 2011 through September 30, 2012, quarterly payments of $18.1 million from December 31, 2012 through June 30, 2013 and a balloon payment of $12.6 million on August 23, 2013. The Tranche B Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $312,500 through June 30, 2014 and a balloon payment of $111.1 million on August 23, 2014.
At the Companys option, the term loans bear interest at the lenders alternate base rate in effect on the applicable borrowing date plus an applicable alternate base rate margin, or Eurodollar rate in effect on the applicable borrowing date plus an applicable Eurodollar rate margin. Both the applicable alternate base rate margin and applicable Eurodollar rate margin will vary depending upon the ratio of the Companys total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA.
The senior secured credit facility permits the Company to declare and pay dividends only in additional shares of its stock except for the following exceptions. Restricted Subsidiaries, as defined in the credit agreement, may declare and pay dividends ratably with respect to their capital stock. The Company may declare and pay cash dividends or make other distributions to Holdings provided the proceeds are used by Holdings to (i) purchase or redeem equity interest of Holdings acquired by former or current employees, consultants or directors of Holdings, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) pay principal or interest on promissory notes that were issued in lieu of cash payments for the repurchase or redemption of such Equity Instruments, provided that the aggregate amount of such dividends or other distributions shall not exceed $3.0 million in any fiscal year. Any unused amounts that are permitted to be paid under this provision are available to be carried over to subsequent fiscal years provided that certain conditions are met. The Company may also make payments to Holdings to pay franchise taxes and other fees required to maintain its corporate existence provided such payments do not exceed $3.0 million in any calendar year and also make payments in the amount necessary to enable Holdings to pay income taxes directly attributable to the operations of the Company and to make $1.0 million in annual advisory and management agreement payments. The Company may also make additional payments to Holdings in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million throughout the term of the senior secured credit facility.
As of March 31, 2010, the amount outstanding under the senior secured credit facility was $230.3 million with an interest rate on the borrowings of 3.5%. The $100.0 million Revolving Facility includes a non-use fee of 0.5% of the portion of the facility not used. The Company pays this fee quarterly. As of March 31, 2010, the amount available under the Revolving Facility was $100.0 million.
Senior PIK Toggle Notes
On June 3, 2008, the Company completed a private offering of $179.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 11.00%/11.75% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2015. Interest on the Toggle Notes is due February 23 and August 23 of each year. The Toggle Notes will mature on August 23, 2015. For any interest period through August 23, 2011, the Company may elect to pay interest on the Toggle Notes (i) in cash, (ii) in kind, by increasing the principal amount of the notes or issuing new notes (referred to as PIK interest) for the entire amount of the interest payment or (iii) by paying interest on 50% of the principal amount of the Toggle Notes in cash and 50% in PIK interest. Cash interest on the Toggle Notes will accrue at the rate of 11.0% per annum. PIK interest on the Toggle Notes will accrue at the rate of 11.75% per annum.
Since August 23, 2008, the Company has elected the PIK option of the Toggle Notes in lieu of making scheduled interest payments for various interest periods. As a result, the principal due on the Toggle Notes increased by $41.4 million since the issuance of the Toggle Notes. On February 23, 2010, the Company elected the PIK option of the Toggle Notes in lieu of making scheduled interest payments for the interest period from February 24, 2010 to August 23, 2010. The Company has accrued $2.7 million in interest in other accrued expenses as of March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the amount outstanding under the Toggle Notes was $219.1 million.
The Toggle Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with other existing and future senior indebtedness, senior to all future subordinated indebtedness and effectively junior to all secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. Certain existing subsidiaries have guaranteed the Toggle Notes on a senior basis, as required by the indenture. The indenture also requires that certain of the Companys future subsidiaries guarantee the Toggle Notes on a senior basis. Each guarantee is unsecured and ranks equally with senior indebtedness of the guarantor, senior to all of the guarantors subordinated indebtedness and effectively junior to its secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
The indenture governing the Toggle Notes contains various restrictive covenants, including financial covenants that limit the Companys ability and the ability of the subsidiaries to borrow money or guarantee other indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, sell assets, pay dividends or engage in transactions with affiliates.
At March 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all material covenants required by each of the senior secured credit facility and the Toggle Notes.
Notes Payable to Banks
Certain subsidiaries of the Company have outstanding bank indebtedness of $13.7 million which is collateralized by the real estate and equipment owned by the surgical facilities to which the loans were made. The various bank indebtedness agreements contain covenants to maintain certain financial ratios and also restrict encumbrance of assets, creation of indebtedness, investing activities and payment of distributions. The Company has guaranteed $9.1 million of this debt.
Capital Lease Obligations
The Company is liable to various vendors for several equipment leases. The outstanding balance related to these capital leases at March 31, 2010 was $8.5 million. The carrying value of the assets was $5.9 million as of March 31, 2010.
5. Derivative Instruments
Interest Rate Swap
In October 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to protect the Company against certain interest rate fluctuations of the LIBOR rate on $150.0 million of the Companys variable rate debt under the senior secured credit facility, with Merrill Lynch Capital Service, Inc., as counterparty. The effective date of the interest rate swap was October 31, 2007, and it is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2010. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the Companys LIBOR interest rate on the $150.0 million of variable debt at a rate of 4.7%.
The FASB established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swap based on the amount at which it could be settled, which is referred to as the exit price. This price is based upon observable market assumptions and appropriate valuation adjustments for credit risk. The Company has categorized its interest rate swap as Level 2.
The interest rate swap agreement exposes both parties of the swap instrument to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counter-party. As of March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a credit risk adjustment of $100,000 to reduce the carrying value of the swap liability, reflecting the liability at fair value.
The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The fair value of the Companys interest rate swap at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 reflected a liability of approximately $3.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and is included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap reflects a liability balance as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 because of decreases in market interest rates since inception.
At inception, the Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge instrument. Due to the significant decline in benchmark interest rates, the Company elected, as of January 28, 2009, an interest term under the provisions of the hedged term debt agreement, different than the terms of the hedging instrument. The Company has determined this benchmark interest rate swap would no longer result in effectiveness within an acceptable range under the authoritative guidance, on a prospective basis. As of December 31, 2008, the Company determined the hedge instrument to be ineffective and discontinued hedge accounting treatment. In January 2009, the Company began recognizing a ratable portion of the $7.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss as additional interest expense, over the remaining life of the hedging instrument which expires October 31, 2010. Also in January 2009, the Company began recording into earnings the mark-to-market adjustment to reflect the fair value of the hedging instrument. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment of $1.4 million as a reduction of interest expense and additional interest expense of $955,000 related to the amortization of the interest rate swap balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
Debt and Lease Guaranty on Non-consolidated Entities
The Company has guaranteed $1.3 million of operating lease payments of certain non-consolidating surgical facilities. These operating leases typically have 10-year terms, with optional renewal periods. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has also guaranteed $2.2 million of debt of five non-consolidating surgical facilities. In the event that the Company meets certain financial and debt service benchmarks, the guarantees at these surgical facilities will expire between 2010 and 2017.
Professional, General and Workers Compensation Liability Risks
The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to patient treatment, employment practices and personal injuries. To cover these claims, the Company maintains general liability and professional liability insurance in excess of self-insured retentions through a third party commercial insurance carrier in amounts that management believes is sufficient for the Companys operations, although, potentially, some claims may exceed the scope of coverage in effect. This insurance coverage is on a claims-made basis. Plaintiffs in these matters may request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance. The Company is not aware of any such proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company expenses the costs under the self-insured retention exposure for general and professional liability claims which relate to (i) deductibles on claims made during the policy period, and (ii) an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported that are expected to be reported after the policy period expires. Reserves and provisions for professional liability are based upon actuarially determined estimates. The reserves are estimated using individual case-basis valuations and actuarial analysis. Based on historical results and data currently available, management does not believe a change in one or more of the underlying assumptions will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Laws and Regulations
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health care programs. From time to time, governmental regulatory agencies will conduct inquiries of the Companys practices. It is the Companys current practice and future intent to cooperate fully with such inquiries. The Company is not aware of any such inquiry that would have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Acquired Facilities
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries or controlled partnerships and limited liability companies, has acquired and will continue to acquire surgical facilities with prior operating histories. Such facilities may have unknown or contingent liabilities, including liabilities for failure to comply with health care laws and regulations, such as billing and reimbursement, fraud and abuse and similar anti-referral laws. Although the Company attempts to assure itself that no such liabilities exist and obtains indemnification from prospective sellers covering such matters and institutes policies designed to conform centers to its standards following completion of acquisitions, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become liable for past activities that may later be asserted to be improper by private plaintiffs or government agencies. There can be no assurance that any such matter will be covered by indemnification or, if covered, that the liability sustained will not exceed contractual limits or the financial capacity of the indemnifying party.
The Company cannot predict whether federal or state statutory or regulatory provisions will be enacted that would prohibit or otherwise regulate relationships which the Company has established or may establish with other health care providers or have materially adverse effects on its business or revenues arising from such future actions. The Company believes, however, that it will be able to adjust its operations so as to be in compliance with any regulatory or statutory provision as may be applicable.
Potential Physician Investor Liability
A majority of the physician investors in the partnerships and limited liability companies which operate the Companys surgical facilities carry general and professional liability insurance on a claims-made basis. Each investee may, however, be liable for damages to persons or property arising from occurrences at the surgical facilities. Although the various physician investors and other surgeons generally are required to obtain general and professional liability insurance with tail coverage, such individuals may not be able to obtain coverage in amounts sufficient to cover all potential liability. Since most insurance policies contain exclusions, the physician investors will not be insured against all possible occurrences. In the event of an uninsured or underinsured loss, the value of an investment in the partnership interests or limited liability company membership units and the amount of distributions could be adversely affected.
7. Related Party Transactions
On August 23, 2007, the Company entered into a ten-year advisory services and management agreement with Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. The annual management fee is $1.0 million and is payable on August 23 of each year. The Company has prepaid this annual management fee and, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, has an asset of $397,000 that is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has $639,000 and $545,000, respectively, payable to physicians at one of the Companys physician networks as a result of cash receipts in excess of expenditures for the related facilities. These amounts are included in other accrued expenses.
8. Financial Information for the Company and Its Subsidiaries
The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its subsidiaries. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Company and its subsidiaries as required by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with the Companys Toggle Notes that have been registered with the SEC. The information segregates the parent company issuer, the combined wholly-owned subsidiary guarantors, the combined non-guarantors, and consolidating adjustments. The operating and investing activities of the separate legal entities are fully interdependent and integrated. Accordingly, the results of the separate legal entities are not representative of what the operating results would be on a stand-alone basis. All of the subsidiary guarantees are both full and unconditional and joint and several.

9. Subsequent Events
Effective April 9, 2010, the Company acquired a 54.5% ownership interest in a 43-bed, general acute care hospital with a surgical and obstetrics focus located in Idaho Falls, Idaho for a purchase price of approximately $31.9 million, plus the assumption of debt of approximately $6.1 million. The purchase price was financed using the Companys existing revolving credit facility. The Company consolidates this facility for financial reporting purposes for the periods subsequent to the acquisition.
Following are the unaudited pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009 (in thousands):

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements, which are based on our current expectations, estimates and assumptions about future events. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, effective tax rate, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipate, believe, continue, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, will, and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the expectations expressed in the statements. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These factors include, without limitation:
· our substantial leverage and its impact on our ability to raise additional capital, react to changes in the economy and our industry and meet our obligations under our debt instruments;
· uncertainty associated with the implementation of legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to health care reform;
· the status of the federal economy and its impact on the health care sector;
· our dependence upon payments from third-party payors, including governmental health care programs and managed care organizations;
· our ability to acquire and develop additional surgical facilities on favorable terms and to integrate their business operations successfully;
· our ability to enter into strategic alliances with health care systems and other third-party payors that are leaders in their markets;
· efforts to regulate the construction, acquisition or expansion of health care facilities;
· our ability to attract and maintain good relationships with physicians who use our facilities;
· our ability to enhance operating efficiencies at our surgical facilities and to control costs as the volume of cases performed at our facilities changes;
· our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations regulating the operation of our surgical facilities, including physician self-referral laws and laws relating to illegal remuneration under the Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs;
· our ability to comply with applicable corporate governance and financial reporting standards;
· legislative changes restricting physician ownership of hospitals;
· the risk of changes to laws governing the corporate practice of medicine that may require us to restructure some of our relationships, which could result in a significant loss of revenues, require us to purchase some or all of the noncontrolling interests, and divert other resources;
· risks related to the nature of our corporate structure, including the level of control exercised by Crestview;
· our legal responsibility to the holders of ownership interests in the entities through which we own surgical facilities which may conflict with the interests of our noteholders and prevent us from acting solely in our own bests interests or the interests of our noteholders;
· our ability to obtain the capital required to operate our business and fund acquisitions and developments on favorable terms;
· the intense competition for physicians, strategic relationships, acquisitions and managed care contracts, which may result in a decline in our revenues, profitability and market share;
· the geographic concentration of our operations in certain states, which makes us particularly sensitive to regulatory, economic and other conditions in those states;
· our dependence on our senior management; and
· other risks and uncertainties described in this report or detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report may not occur, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. When you consider these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risk factors and other cautionary statements in this report.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. Other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Executive Overview
We own and operate a national network of short stay surgical facilities in 26 states. Our surgical facilities, which include ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals, primarily provide non-emergency surgical procedures across many specialties, including, among others, orthopedics, pain management, gastroenterology and ophthalmology. We own our surgical facilities in partnership with physicians and in some cases health care systems in the markets and communities we serve. We apply a market-based approach in structuring our partnerships with individual market dynamics driving the structure. We believe this approach aligns our interests with those of our partners. As of May 13, 2010, we owned and operated 58 surgical facilities, including 53 ambulatory surgery centers and five surgical hospitals. We also managed eight additional ambulatory surgery centers. We owned a majority interest in 36 of the 58 surgical facilities and consolidated 52 of these facilities for financial reporting purposes. We are reporting one of the 58 surgical facilities as discontinued operations. In addition to our surgical facilities, we also manage one physician network in a market in which we operate an ambulatory surgery center.
We have benefited from both the growth in overall outpatient surgery cases as well as the migration of surgical procedures from the hospital to the surgical facility setting. Advancements in medical technology, such as lasers, arthroscopy and enhanced endoscopic techniques, have reduced the trauma of surgery and the amount of recovery time required by patients following a surgical procedure. Improvements in anesthesia also have shortened the recovery time for many patients and have reduced post-operative side effects such as pain, nausea and drowsiness. These medical advancements have enabled more patients to undergo surgery in a surgical facility setting.
We continue to focus on improving the performance of our same store facilities and acquiring facilities that we believe have favorable growth potential. On April 9, 2010, we acquired an ownership interest in a general acute care hospital with a surgical and obstetrics focus, located in Idaho Falls, Idaho. This acquisition provides us with the opportunity to expand into a new market and is consolidated for financial reporting purposes for periods subsequent to the acquisition.
Revenues
Our revenues consist of patient service revenues, physician service revenues and other service revenues. Our patient service revenues relate to fees charged for surgical or diagnostic procedures performed at surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. Physician service revenues are revenues from physician networks consisting of reimbursed expenses, plus participation in the excess of revenues over expenses of the physician networks, as provided for in our service agreements with our physician networks. Other service revenues consist of management and administrative service fees derived from the non-consolidated facilities that we account for under the equity method, management of surgical facilities in which we do not own an interest, and management services we provide to physician networks for which we are not required to provide capital or additional assets.
The following tables summarize our revenues by service type as a percentage of revenues for the periods indicated:

Case Mix
We primarily operate multi-specialty facilities where physicians perform a variety of procedures in specialties, including orthopedics, pain management, gastroenterology and ophthalmology, among others. We believe this diversification helps to protect us from any adverse pricing and utilization trends in any individual procedure type and results in greater consistency in our case volume.

Recent Regulatory Developments
We are dependent upon private and government third-party sources of payment for the services we provide. The amounts that our surgical facilities and networks receive in payment for their services may be adversely affected by market and cost factors as well as other factors over which we have no control, including Medicare, Medicaid, and state regulations and the cost containment and utilization decisions and reduced reimbursement schedules of third-party payors.
Health Care Reform
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 were signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010 and March 30, 2010, respectively, dramatically altering the U.S. health care system. The Acts are intended to provide coverage and access to substantially all Americans, to increase the quality of care provided, and to reduce the rate of growth in healthcare expenditures. The changes include, among other things, reducing payments to Medicare Advantage plans, expanding the Medicare programs use of value-based purchasing programs, tying hospital payments to the satisfaction of certain quality criteria, bundling payments to hospitals and other providers, reducing Medicare and Medicaid payments, including disproportionate share payments, expanding Medicare and Medicaid eligibility, and expanding access to health insurance. As part of the effort to control or reduce health care spending, the Acts also contain a number of measures intended to reduce fraud and abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, such as requiring the use of recovery audit contractors in the Medicaid program and limitations on the Stark Law exception that allows physicians to have ownership interests in hospitals (the Whole Hospital Exception). Among other things, the Acts prohibit hospitals from increasing the percentages of the total value of the ownership interests held in the hospital by physicians after March 23, 2010, as well as place severe restrictions on the ability of a hospital subject to the Whole Hospital Exception to add operating rooms, procedure rooms and beds. It is difficult to predict the impact the Acts will have on the Companys operations as a majority of the measures contained in the Acts do not take effect until 2013 and 2014. The Acts could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Medicare Reimbursement Hospital Services
Five of our surgical facilities are licensed as hospitals. The Medicare program pays hospitals on a prospective payment system for acute inpatient services. Under this prospective payment system, a hospital receives a fixed amount for inpatient hospital services based on each patients final assigned diagnosis related group (DRG). On April 19, 2010, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) proposed rule for federal fiscal year 2011, beginning on October 1, 2009. Among other things, the proposed rule provides for a market basket increase of 2.4% for hospitals that successfully report the 2011 quality measures included in the Reporting Hospital Quality Date for Annual Payment Update program and 0.4% for hospitals that do not. The quality reporting program would also increase the outlier threshold and add 45 new patient care quality measures, 10 of which our hospitals would be required to report in order to receive the full market basket increase in FFY 2012. CMS anticipates that, when combined with the various other adjustments, Medicare payments to hospitals for inpatient services will decrease by 0.1% in federal fiscal year 2011.
Additionally, the Acts implemented a 0.25% reduction to hospital inpatient rates effective April 1, 2010 and October 1, 2010 and a 0.25% reduction to hospital outpatient rates retroactive to January 1, 2010, and CMS has indicated that those provisions will be handled through a separate rule.
Health Information Practices
We are subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), which was enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The HITECH Act strengthened the requirements and significantly increased the penalties for violations of the HIPAA privacy and security regulations. On August 24, 2009, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued regulations implementing certain of the requirements of the HITECH Act, including the Breach Notification Rule providing obligations for compiling and reporting of certain information relating to breaches by providers and their business associates. Although these regulations were effective September 23, 2009, HHS announced the imposition of penalties pursuant to these regulations would be delayed until February 22, 2010. Since that date has passed, the Office for Civil Rights will now enforce the Breach Notification Rule, including the possible imposition of sanctions, as it does with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule requirements. We cannot quantify the financial impact of compliance with these new regulations, but could incur expenses associated with such compliance.
Operating Margins
Our operating income margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased to 12.8% from 19.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The 2010 period reflects, among other things, $816,000 of impairment charge related to our equity method investment located in Gresham, Oregon. Excluding the impairment charge, our operating income margin decreased to 13.8%. Our surgical hospital in Austin, Texas, which historically has experienced financial difficulties, negatively impacted our operating income margins by 2.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2010. We continue to implement strategic initiatives to improve the operational efficiencies and financial position of this facility. Additionally, we experienced a decrease in case volume for the period which had a negative impact on our operating income margins due to certain fixed costs. We experienced volatility within the quarter which impacted our ability to adjust staffing and reduce supply costs at our facilities in proportion to the lower case volume.
Acquisitions and Developments
Effective April 9, 2010, we acquired an ownership of 54.5% in a general acute care hospital with a surgical and obstetrics focus in Idaho falls, Idaho for approximately $31.9 million plus the assumption of approximately $6.1 million of debt. The acquisition was financed with borrowings from our revolving credit facility. We consolidate this facility for financial reporting purposes for periods subsequent to the acquisition.
Discontinued Operations and Divestitures
As of March 31, 2010, we owned one surgical facility that is classified as discontinued operations. This facilitys assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Effective February 1, 2010, we disposed of our equity method investment located in Arcadia, California. We recorded an impairment charge of $2.4 million related to this investment at December 31, 2009.
Effective March 2, 2010, we consolidated the operations of our two facilities located in Worcester, Massachusetts. We recorded an impairment charge of $392,000 at December 31, 2009 related to certain leasehold improvements. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded an additional loss of $184,000 which is included in impairment and loss on disposal of long-lived assets.

Overview. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, our revenues increased 1.0% to $85.0 million from $84.2 million for the three months ended March, 31, 2009. We incurred a net loss attributable to Symbion, Inc. for the 2010 period of $5.6 million compared to a loss of $9.0 million for the 2009 period. Included in the loss for the 2010 period is an impairment charge of $816,000 related to our equity method investment located in Gresham, Oregon. Excluding the impairment charge, our net loss is $4.8 million for the 2010 period.
Our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflect the addition of one surgical facility that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes and one surgical facility which we account for using the equity method. Additionally, we disposed of three surgical facilities which we accounted for using the equity method as of March 31, 2009. For purposes of this managements discussion of our consolidated financial results, we consider same store facilities as those surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes for both three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Patient service revenues at same store facilities decreased 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, primarily as a result of a 3.2% decrease in cases and a 0.7% decrease in net revenue per case. The decrease in case volume is attributable to weak economic conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, reimbursement from governmental payors increased 2.0% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. Governmental payors have typically paid claims at a lower rate than third-party payors and therefore our net revenue per case decreased during the 2010 period compared to the 2009 period. The increase in reimbursement from governmental payors is related to an increase in gastrointestinal and ophthalmology cases which are typically reimbursed by Medicare.

As a percentage of same store revenues, same store cost of revenues increased to 74.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 71.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in case volume resulted in a negative impact on operating income margins due to certain fixed costs such as facility rent expense and minimum staffing requirements. We experienced volatility within the quarter which impacted our ability to adjust staffing and reduce supply costs at our facilities in proportion to the lower case volume. Cost of revenues from other surgical facilities increased by $5.2 million. This increase is attributable to surgical facilities acquired or developed since January 1, 2009. As a percentage of revenues, total cost of revenues increased to 74.1% for 2010 compared to 68.2% for 2009.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense decreased to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expense was 6.2% for 2010 and 7.0% for 2009. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in incentive compensation.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased to 5.0% for 2010 from 5.2% for 2009.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts increased to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $935,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenues, the provision for doubtful accounts was 1.5% for the 2010 period compared to 1.1% for the 2009 period.
Impairment and Loss on Disposal of Long-lived Assets. Included in impairment and loss on disposal of long-lived assets for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is an impairment charge of $816,000 related to our equity method investment located in Gresham, Oregon.
Operating Income. Operating income decreased to $10.9 million in 2010 from $16.1 million in 2009. Included in the 2010 period is an impairment charge of $816,000 related to our equity method investment located in Gresham, Oregon. In addition, the decrease resulted from our surgical hospital located in Austin, Texas and the decrease in case volume.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased to $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily attributable to a mark-to-market adjustment of the interest rate swap liability resulting in a reduction of interest expense of $1.4 million in the 2010 period compared to $615,000 in the 2009 period.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Tax expense in both periods is primarily due to the recording of non-cash deferred income tax expense related to our partnership investments.
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenues, income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to 5.0% for 2010 from 7.7% for 2009. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in operating income at same store facilities and the impact of facilities acquired or developed since January 1, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we generated operating cash flow from continuing operations of $18.7 million compared to $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. We received approximately $3.0 million of tax refunds in the 2010 period and $2.0 million in the 2009 period.
At March 31, 2010, we had working capital of $45.6 million compared to $40.8 million at December 31, 2009. This increase is primarily related to our increased cash balance resulting from an income tax refund of $3.0 million and cash generated from operations. Our available cash, along with our expected future operating cash flows, is sufficient to service our current obligations.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.4 million, including $1.3 million related to purchases of property and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was $3.3 million, which included $2.6 million related to purchases of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities in the 2010 and 2009 periods was funded primarily from cash from operations.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $9.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we made scheduled principal payments on our senior secured credit facility totaling $1.9 million. Additionally, we made $5.6 million of distributions to noncontrolling interest partners.
Our net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $8.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we made scheduled principal payments on our senior secured credit facility of $625,000. Additionally, we made $6.1 million of distributions to noncontrolling interest partners.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
On August 23, 2007, in conjunction with the Merger, we entered into a $350.0 million senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The senior secured credit facility extends credit in the form of two term loans of $125.0 million each (the first, the Tranche A Term Loan and the second, the Tranche B Term Loan) and a $100.0 million revolving, swingline and letter of credit facility (the Revolving Facility). The swingline facility is limited to $10.0 million and the swingline loans are available on a same-day basis. The letter of credit facility is limited to $10.0 million. We are the borrower under the senior secured credit facility, and all of our wholly owned subsidiaries are guarantors. Under the terms of the senior secured credit facility, entities that become wholly owned subsidiaries must also guarantee the debt.
The Tranche A Term Loan matures on August 23, 2013, the Tranche B Term Loan matures on August 23, 2014 and the Revolving Facility matures on August 23, 2013. The Tranche A Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1.6 million through September 30, 2010, quarterly payments of $4.7 million from December 31, 2010 through September 30, 2011, quarterly payments of $6.3 million from December 31, 2011 through September 30, 2012, quarterly payments of $18.1 million from December 31, 2012 through June 30, 2013 and a balloon payment of $12.6 million on August 23, 2013. The Tranche B Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $312,500 through June 30, 2014 and a balloon payment of $111.1 million on August 23, 2014.
At our option, the term loans bear interest at the lenders alternate base rate in effect on the applicable borrowing date plus an applicable alternate base rate margin, or Eurodollar rate in effect on the applicable borrowing date, plus an applicable Eurodollar rate margin. Both the applicable alternate base rate margin and applicable Eurodollar rate margin will vary depending upon the ratio of our total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA.
As of March 31, 2010, the amount outstanding under the senior secured credit facility was $230.3 million with an interest rate on the borrowings of 3.5%. The $100.0 million Revolving Facility includes a non-use fee of 0.5% of the portion of the facility not used. We pay this fee quarterly. As of May 13, 2010, the amount available under the Revolving Facility was $67.0 million.
Interest Rate Swap
In October 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to protect against certain interest rate fluctuations of the LIBOR rate on $150.0 million of our variable rate debt under the senior secured credit facility. The effective date of the interest rate swap was October 31, 2007, and it is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2010. The interest rate swap effectively fixes our LIBOR interest rate on the $150.0 million of variable debt at a rate of 4.7%. We have recognized the fair value of the interest rate swap as a current liability of approximately $3.7 million at March 31, 2010, after a credit risk adjustment of $100,000. Due to the significant changes in LIBOR rates, we elected an interest term for the January 2009 interest election period under the terms of the senior secured credit agreement which differs from that of the swap instrument. As a result, we discontinued hedge accounting treatment for our interest rate swap as of December 31, 2008. In January 2009, we began recognizing a ratable portion of the amount in accumulated other comprehensive income as additional interest expense over the remaining life of the swap instrument. Also beginning in January 2009, we began recording into earnings the mark-to-market adjustment
to reflect the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized additional interest expense of $955,000 due to the ratable recognition of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income. We recognized a gain in interest expense for the quarter of $1.4 million due to mark-to-market adjustment of the swap liability.
Senior PIK Toggle Notes
Since August 23, 2008, we elected the PIK option of the Toggle Notes in lieu of making scheduled interest payments for various interest periods. As a result, the principal due on the Toggle Notes increased by $41.4 million since the issuance of the toggle notes. On February 23, 2010, we elected the PIK option of the Toggle Notes in lieu of making scheduled interest payments for the interest period from February 24, 2010 to August 23, 2010. We have accrued $2.7 million in interest in other accrued expenses as of March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the amount outstanding under the Toggle Notes was $219.1 million.
At March 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all material covenants required by each of the senior secured credit facility and the Toggle Notes.
Notes Payable to Banks
Certain of our subsidiaries have outstanding bank indebtedness, which is collateralized by the real estate and equipment owned by the surgical facilities to which the loans were made. The outstanding balance of this indebtedness as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $13.7 million and $14.4 million, respectively. The various bank indebtedness agreements contain covenants to maintain certain financial ratios and also restrict encumbrance of assets, creation of indebtedness, investing activities and payment of distributions. We have guaranteed $9.1 million of this debt.
Capital Lease Obligations
We are liable to various vendors for several equipment leases. The outstanding balance related to these capital leases at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $8.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not significantly affected our operating results or the markets in which we operate.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and other adjustments
When we use the term Adjusted EBITDA, we are referring to net loss plus (a) (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, (b) income tax expense, (c) interest expense, net, (d) depreciation and amortization, (e) non-cash losses (gains), and (f) non-cash stock option compensation expense, less (g) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interest represents the interests of third parties, such as physicians and in some cases, health care systems that own an interest in surgical facilities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. Our operating strategy is to apply a market-based approach in structuring our partnerships, with individual market dynamics driving the structure. We believe that it is helpful to investors to present Adjusted EBITDA as defined above because it excludes the portion of net income attributable to these third-party interests and clarifies for investors our portion of Adjusted EBITDA generated by our surgical facilities and other operations.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 14.4% for the 2010 period compared to 16.7% for the 2009 period. Excluding the impact of the loss incurred at our surgical hospital in Austin, Texas, our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.5% for the 2010 period.
We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity. We have included it because we believe that it provides investors with additional information about our ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, with some variation in the calculation, to determine compliance with some of the covenants under the senior secured credit facility, as well as to determine the interest rate and commitment fee payable under the senior secured credit facility.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, or any other measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and evaluating financial performance and liquidity. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not comparable to the Adjusted EBITDA measure we have used in certain prior periods but is consistent with the measure of Adjusted EBITDA less income attributable to noncontrolling interests previously reported. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities continuing operations (in thousands):

Summary
We believe we have sufficient liquidity in the next 12 to 18 months as described above. Nevertheless, we continue to monitor the state of the financial and credit markets and our current and expected liquidity and capital resource needs, and intend to continue to explore various financing alternatives to improve our capital structure, including by reducing debt, extending maturities or relaxing financial covenants. These may include new equity or debt financings or exchange offers with our existing security holders (including exchanges of debt for debt or equity) and other transactions involving our outstanding securities, given their secondary market trading prices. We cannot assure you, if we pursue any of these transactions, that we will be successful in completing a transaction on attractive terms, or at all.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in prevailing interest rates. Historically, we have not held or issued derivative financial instruments other than the use of a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap for a portion of our senior credit facility. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Our outstanding debt to commercial lenders is generally based on a predetermined percentage above LIBOR or the lenders prime rate. At March 31, 2010, $80.3 million of our total long-term debt was subject to variable rates of interest, while the remaining $393.8 million of our total long-term debt was subject to fixed rates of interest. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in additional annual interest expense of approximately $800,000. The fair value of our total long-term debt, based on quoted market prices as of March 31, 2010 was approximately $434.9 million.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are, from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims for damages for personal injuries, breach of management contracts and employment related claims. In certain of these actions, plaintiffs request payment for damages, including punitive damages, that may not be covered by insurance.
