NOTE 2 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC 855-10 Company management reviewed all material events through the date of issuance and there are no material subsequent events to report.
 

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Statements and Results of Operations

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management.  For this purpose any statement contained in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking, including statements about our revenue, spending, cash flow, services and products, actions, intentions, plans, strategies and objectives.  Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “hope,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate” “projected” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainty, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control.  These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industry in which we and our customers participate; competition within our industry, including competition from much larger competitors; legislative requirements or changes which could render our services less competitive or obsolete; our failure to successfully develop new services and/or products or to anticipate current or prospective customers’ needs; price increases or employee limitations; and delays, reductions, or cancellations of contracts we have previously entered.

Forward-looking statements are predictions and not guarantees of future performance or events.  The forward-looking statements are based on current industry, financial and economic information, which we have assessed but which by its nature is dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly abrupt changes.  Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with our business.  We hereby qualify all our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. We undertake no obligation to amend this report or revise publicly these forward looking-statements (other than pursuant to reporting obligations imposed on registrants pursuant to the Exchange Act) to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the SEC.

Throughout this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms, “we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company” refer to Pacific Health Care Organization, Inc., (“PHCO”) and our wholly-owned subsidiaries Medex Healthcare, Inc. (“Medex”), Industrial Resolutions Coalition, Inc. (“IRC”), Arissa Managed Care, Inc (“Arissa”) and Medex Managed Care, Inc (“MMC”).

Overview

We are in the business of managing and administering Health Care Organizations (“HCOs”) and Medical Provider Network (“MPNs”) in the state of California. For many years, workers’ compensation costs in California have been high. Since 1993, the legislature in California has enacted various laws designed to introduce alternatives to the traditional model of worker’s compensation aimed at controlling costs by giving employers greater control over the medical treatment of injured workers for a longer period of time.

Under the traditional model of workers’ compensation insurance coverage, the employer controls the selection of the medical provider for the first 30 days after the injury is reported.  Thereafter the employee chooses the treating physician and the employer has no further control over the treatment of the patient.

In 1993 the California legislature passed a bill that established Health Care Organizations.  An HCO is a network of health care professionals specializing in the treatment of workplace injuries and in back-to-work rehabilitation and training.  The benefit of the HCO to an employer is two-fold.  First, the employer is able to control the medical treatment of the injured employee for 90 to 180 days rather than just during the first 30 days.  Second, the HCO provides the employer a network of trained providers to which it can refer its injured employees who specialize in treating work place injuries.

In 2004, the California legislature enacted new laws that created MPNs.  Like an HCO, an MPN is a network of health care professionals, but MPN networks are not required to have the same level of medical expertise in treating employees’ work place injuries.  Under an MPN program, the employer dictates which physician the injured employee will see for the initial visit.  Thereafter, the employee can choose to treat with any physician within the MPN network.
 

By virtue of our continued certification as an HCO, we were statutorily deemed to be qualified as an approved MPN on January 1, 2005.  As a licensed HCO and MPN, we are able to offer our clients an HCO program, an MPN program and a combination of the HCO and MPN programs.  Under this combination model, an employer can enroll its employees in the HCO program then, prior to the expiration of the 90 or 180 day treatment period under the HCO program, the employer can enroll the employee into the MPN program.  This allows employers to take advantage of both programs.  To our knowledge, we are currently the only entity that offers both programs together.

On March 16, 2011 we incorporated MMC, in the State of Nevada, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Effective April 1, 2011, MMC took over the responsibilities of overseeing and managing the utilization review (“UR”) and medical bill review (“MBR”) business previously managed by Medex. In April 2011, MMC purchased essentially all of the assets and liabilities of Arissa and took over the selling and marketing responsibilities previously conducted by Arissa.  Arissa is currently dormant.  
 
Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Revenue

The total number of employee enrollees increased 30% during three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.  Total revenues increased 77% to $613,677.  As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately 318,000 total enrollees.  Enrollment consisted of approximately 49,300 HCO enrollees and 268,700 MPN enrollees.  By comparison as of June 30, 2010 we had approximately 245,000 enrollees, including approximately 35,000 HCO enrollees and approximately 210,000 MPN enrollees.

The net increase in HCO and MPN enrollees of approximately 14,300 and 58,700, respectively, was mainly the result of adding one major HCO customer and one major MPN customer.  Although the continuing economic slowdown impacted us in 2010, there are signs that our revenues during 2011 will increase moderately.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we were also able to increase our MBR and UR services revenues.

In the current economic environment, we anticipate businesses will continue to seek ways to reduce their workers’ compensation program costs.   As a result, we expect to continue to experience client turnover, in the form of existing employer clients seeking to terminate or renegotiate the scope and terms of existing services.  We also anticipate our market could shrink further as some employers seek to reduce their costs by managing their workers’ compensation care services in-house.  As a result, the industry continues to undergo restructuring in the type and pricing of services being provided.
 
HCO Fees

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, HCO fee revenues were $187,213 and $152,173 respectively.  A 41% increase in HCO enrollment during the three months ended June 30, 2011, resulted in a 23% increase in revenue from HCO fees.  The increased employee enrollment, was primarily attributable to adding new customers and increased enrollment from existing customers.  Although HCO enrollment and revenues increased by 41% and 23%, respectively,  the lower revenue growth percentage was caused primarily by charging differing fee terms, unbundling of services and price competition.

MPN Fees

MPN fee revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $147,362 compared to $156,138 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Although we realized a 28% increase in MPN enrollment when compared the same period 2010, MPN revenues decreased 6%, because of differing fee terms, unbundling of services, price competition and similar factors during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
 

Other Fees

Other fees consist of revenues derived from MBR, nurse case management (“NCM”), UR and network claims repricing services provided by Medex and MMC.  Other fee revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $279,101 and $38,089, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, MBR fees increased 829% to $100,547 from $10,827, in the same period a year earlier.  MBR service revenues grew largely as a result of increased marketing efforts by Arissa and MMC signing up several major customers

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, NCM service revenue was $87,260 and $8,200, respectively. This increase of $79,060 was primarily the result of signing a major customer in September 2010.   We retain nurses on our staff who, at the request of our customers, will review the medical portion of a claim on behalf of our employer clients, claims managers and injured workers.  We offer NCM services to our customers on an optional basis and we charge an additional fee for NCM services.

Our UR fee revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $75,875, from $3,065 for the same period a year earlier.  UR service revenues grew largely as a result of increased marketing efforts by Arissa and MMC signing up several major customers in September of 2010.

 Our network claims repricing fees are generated from certain customers’ split cost savings from their Preferred Provider Organization network (“PPO”).  During the three months period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, other revenues were $15,420 and $15,997, respectively.

Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $545,957 and $415,320 respectively.  The increase of $130,637 was the result of increases in consulting fees, salaries & wages, professional fees, insurance, outsource service fees and miscellaneous general and administration expense offset by decreases in depreciation and data maintenance expense.

Consulting Fees

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, consulting fees increased to $105,882 from $74,205 during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  This increase of $31,677 in consulting fees was due mainly to an increase in fees paid to Medex’s legal consultant, the addition of a UR consultant during third quarter of 2010, the addition of a nurse case manager and hiring three temporary administrative consultants during the second quarter of 2011.  In the event we see further increases in the level of services requested from our customers, especially for nurse case management services we would engage additional nurse case managers, which could result in higher consulting fees.

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages increased $70,789 or 48% to $219,974 from $149,185 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to the hiring of a manager of bill review in June 2010, a nurse case manager in September 2010 and salary increases given to the Company’s CEO and CFO in March 2011.

Professional Fees

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 we incurred professional fees of $50,770 compared to $44,545 during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  This 14% increase in professional fees was primarily the result of increased accounting fees and professional fees paid for NCM services.
 

Insurance

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 we incurred insurance expenses of $38,212 a $17,812 increase over the prior year three month period.  The increase in insurance expense realized during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was the result of an adjustment transferring previously expensed insurance premiums in the first quarter of 2010 to prepaid insurance.  We do not expect insurance expenses to increase materially in 2011.

Outsource Service Fees

Outsource service fees consist of costs incurred by MMC in outsourcing its MBR services and certain UR services.  MMC does not, at this time, have enough volume to justify creating its own in-house MBR or UR staff.  We utilize outside vendors to provide specific services for our clients, charging additional fees over and above those paid to said vendors for administration and coordination of the MBR and UR services provided to our clients. We commenced outsourcing these services during June 2010 and incurred $30,965 and $1,024 in outsource service fees during the three months period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively

Data Maintenance

Under regulations applicable to HCOs and MPNs we are required to comply with certain data reporting and document delivery obligations.  We currently contract out much of these data reporting and document delivery obligations to third parties.  The costs we incur to meet these requirements are reflected in our financial statements as “data maintenance.”

Data maintenance costs are impacted by several factors, including the overall mix of enrollees in our HCO and MPN programs and the number of new enrollees during the year.  HCOs are required to deliver enrollment notices annually to each HCO enrollee.  By comparison, MPNs are required to deliver an enrollment notice only at the time of initial enrollment and at the time an enrollee is injured.  As a result, after the first year, data maintenance fees for MPN enrollees are consistently about 50% lower than data maintenance fees for HCO enrollees.  Therefore, depending on the mix of HCO and MPN enrollees and the number of new MPN enrollees versus ongoing MPN enrollees, our data maintenance costs may vary significantly from year to year even in years when our overall enrollment does not change materially.

Data maintenance fees may also vary significantly from employment enrollment fees in any given year.  Employment enrollment fees are determined based on the number of HCO enrollees at the end of the calendar year.  Employment enrollment fees do not take into account fluctuations in HCO enrollment during the year.  By comparison, data maintenance fees are billed as services are provided.  Therefore, we may have years when HCO enrollment is higher during the year than it is at the end of the calendar year, resulting in variances in data maintenance fees and employment enrollment fees in a given year.

Data maintenance fees are also impacted by the prices we can negotiate with our third party service providers.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 we experienced a 49% and a 28% increase in HCO and MPN enrollees, respectively, when compared the same period a year earlier, resulting in an overall enrollment increase of 30%.  Data maintenance fees decreased 76% from $38,050 to $9,249 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010.  The decrease in data maintenance fees is primarily attributable to lower data maintenance costs associated with the renewal of MPN enrollees and lower prices negotiated with third party service providers.

General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses increased 7% to $87,223 during the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase in general and administrative expense of $5,843 was primarily attributable to increases in dues and subscriptions and travel and entertainment expense partially offset by decreases in internet expense, parking expense, rent expense and miscellaneous general administrative expenses. We expect current levels of general and administrative expenses to increase during the remainder of this fiscal year, provided we continue to add new customers at our current rate.
 

Net Income

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 total revenues of $613,677 were higher by $267,277 when compared to the same period in 2010.   This increase in total revenues was partially offset by $130,637 increase in total expenses resulting in income from operations of $67,720 compared to a loss from operations of $68,920 during three months ended June 30, 2010.  Because we realized income from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2011 we recognized an income tax provision of $22,283.  By comparison, because we realized a loss from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized an income tax benefit of $35,875.  As a result, we realized net income of $45,378 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $33,007, during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  We expect moderate increases in revenues to continue in the third quarter of 2011, when compared to the second quarter of 2011, to be generated primarily from new services offered by the Company to existing and new customers in the areas of MBR and UR fee revenues.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Revenue

The total number of employee enrollees increased 30% during six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.   Total revenues increased 68% to $1,163,503.

HCO Fees

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 HCO fee revenues were $360,469 and $292,524 respectively.  As noted above, while HCO enrollment increased 41% during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we realized only a 23% increase in revenue from HCO fees when compared to the same period last year.  The percentage increase in enrollment outpaced the percentage increase in revenue as a result of the lower fee schedule for our new customers compared to the same period last year.

MPN Fees

MPN Fee revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $284,670 compared to $302,471 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Although we had an increase in MPN enrollment of 28% during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as noted above, factors such as differing fee terms, unbundling of services, price competition and other similar factors as compared to 2010, resulted in a 6% decrease in MPN revenues compared to the same period in 2010.

Other Fees

As mentioned earlier other fees consist of revenues derived from MBR, NCM, UR and network claims repricing services provided by Medex and MMC. Other fee revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $518,364 and $98,963, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, MBR fees increased by $184,278 to $195,105 from $10,827, in the same period a year earlier.  MBR service revenues grew largely as a result of increased marketing efforts by Arissa and MMC signing up several major customers in September 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, NCM revenue was $152,411 and $49,543, respectively. This increase of $102,868 was primarily the result of signing a major customer in September 2010.

Our UR fee revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $136,365 from $5,590 for the same period a year earlier.  UR service revenues grew largely as a result of increased marketing efforts by Arissa and MMC signing up several major customers in September of 2010.
 

Our network claims repricing fees are generated from certain customers’ split cost savings generated from their PPO.  During the six months period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net work claims repricing fees were $34,484 and $33,003, respectively.

Expenses

Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $1,058,028 and $821,551, respectively.  The increase of $236,477 was primarily the result of increases in consulting fees, salaries & wages, professional fees, insurance, outsource service fees and miscellaneous general and administration expenses offset by decreases in depreciation and data maintenance expenses.

Consulting Fees

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, consulting fees increased to $185,227 from $135,436 during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This increase in consulting fees of $49,791 in consulting fees was due mainly to an increase in fees paid to Medex’s legal consultant, the addition of a UR consultant during third quarter of 2010, the addition of a nurse case manager and hiring three temporary administrative consultants during the first and second quarters of 2011.

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages increased $106,037 or 33% to $428,636 from $322,599 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to the hiring of a manager of bill review in June 2010, a nurse case manager in September 2010 and salary increases given to the Company’s CEO and CFO in March 2011.

Professional Fees

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred professional fees of $96,952 compared to $82,595 during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This 17% increase in professional fees was primarily the result of increased accounting fees and professional fees paid for nurse case management services.

Insurance

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred insurance expenses of $67,181 an increase of $15,072 over the same six-month period of 2010. The increase in insurance expense realized during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was the result of an adjustment transferring previously expensed insurance premiums in the first quarter of 2010 to prepaid insurance.  We do not expect insurance expense to increase materially in 2011.

Outsource Service Fees

As discussed above, outsource service fees consist of costs incurred by MMC in outsourcing its MBR services and certain UR services.  We commenced outsourcing these services during June 2010 and incurred $63,626 and $1,024 in outsource service fees during the six months period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively

Data Maintenance

During six months ended June 30, 2011 we experienced a 41% increase in HCO enrollment and a 28% increase in MPN enrollment, resulting in an overall enrollment increase of 29%.  Despite the increase in overall employee enrollment, data maintenance fees decreased 70% to $17,093 during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease in data maintenance fees is primarily attributable to lower data maintenance costs associated with the renewal of MPN enrollees and lower prices negotiated with third party service providers.
 

General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses increased 22% to $193,525 during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase in general and administrative expense of $35,470 was primarily attributable to increases in dues and subscriptions and travel and entertainment expense partially offset by decreases in internet expense, parking expense, rent expense and miscellaneous general administrative expenses. Provided we continue to add new customers at our current rate, we expect current levels of general and administrative expenses to increase during the remainder of this fiscal year.

Net Income

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 total revenues of $1,163,503 were higher by $469,545 when compared to the same period in 2010.  This increase in total revenues was partially offset by $236,477 increase in total expenses resulting in income from operations of $105,475 compared to an loss from operations of $127,593 during six months ended June 30, 2010.  Because we realized net income in the 2011 period, we recognized a provision for income tax of $31,511 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to an income tax benefit of $35,250 during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Correspondingly, we realized net income of $72,287 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $92,124, during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  We expect moderate increases in revenues to continue in the third quarter of 2011, when compared to the second quarter of 2011, to be generated primarily from new services offered by the Company to our existing and new customers in the areas of  MBR and UR fee revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011 we had cash on hand of $383,303 compared to $349,552 at December 31, 2010.  The $33,751 increase in cash on hand is primarily the result of increases in revenue from operations, decreases in income tax receivable and prepaid expenses and increases in accounts payable, income tax payable revenue, and deferred rent expense, partially offset by purchases of furniture and equipment.  We believe that cash on hand and anticipated revenues from operations will be sufficient to cover our operating costs over the next twelve months.  We do not anticipate the need to find other sources of capital at this time.

Currently we do not have any planned significant capital expenditures during the next twelve months that we anticipate will require us to seek outside sources of funding.  From time to time, however, we do investigate potential opportunities to expand our business either through the creation of new business lines or the acquisition of existing businesses.  We have not identified any suitable opportunity at the current time.  An expansion or acquisition of this sort may require greater capital resources than we possess.  Should we need additional capital resources, we most likely would seek to obtain such through debt and/or equity financing.  We do not currently possess a financial institution source of financing.  Given current credit conditions, there is no assurance that we could be successful in obtaining additional debt financing on favorable terms, or at all.  Similarly, given current market and economic conditions there is no guarantee that we could negotiate appropriate equity financing.

Cash Flow

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 cash was primarily used to fund operations. We had a net increase in cash of $33,751 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared a decrease in cash of $184,572 at June 30, 2010.  See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the recorded values of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues recognized and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Our estimates and assumptions affect our recognition of deferred expenses, bad debts, income taxes, the carrying value of its long-lived assets and its provision for certain contingencies. We evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions continually based on a combination of historical information and other information that comes to its attention that may vary its outlook for the future. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.
 
 
We believe the critical accounting policies that most impact our consolidated financial statements are described below.

Basis of Accounting We use the accrual method of accounting.

Revenue Recognition — We apply the revenue recognition provisions pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605.10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”) (formerly SAB Topic 13A), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC.  The guidance outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize the revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies.

Health care service revenues are recognized in the period in which fees are fixed or determinable and the related services are provided to the subscriber.

Our subscribers generally pay in advance for their services by check for billings made in advance, revenue is then recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are provided.  Advance payments from subscribers and billings made in advance are recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue.  An allowance for uncollectible accounts is established for any customer who is deemed as possibly uncollectible.

Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in (1) recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) ensuring that information disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
