NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1.         Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Conmed”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires) contained herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared annually in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this report should, therefore, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2012.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) which are considered necessary to fairly present our financial position and our results of operations as of and for these periods have been made.

 

Our interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for a full year.

 

NOTE 2.         Equity Compensation

 

The Board of Directors has adopted, and our stockholders have approved, the 2007 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of up to 3,100,000 incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units. The 2007 Plan is administered by the independent members of the Board of Directors, which has the authority and discretion to determine: the persons to whom the options will be granted; when the options will be granted; the number of shares subject to each option; the price at which the shares subject to each option may be purchased; and when each option will become exercisable. The options generally vest over three to four years and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded stock-based compensation expense totaling $140,812 and $104,829, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded restricted stock compensation expense totaling $77,559 and $0, respectively.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, options were granted to purchase 60,500 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $3.58 per share and an average grant date fair value of $2.17 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, 50,000 restricted stock units (“RSU”) were granted at an average grant date fair value of $2.86 per share and upon vesting each RSU will be exchanged for a share of common stock. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, options to purchase 8,204 shares of common stock were forfeited, options to purchase 1,088 shares of common stock were cancelled and options to purchase 27,553 shares of common stock were exercised at an average exercise price of $2.22 per share. As of March 31, 2012, 133,916 shares remain available for grant under the 2007 Plan.

 

As of March 31, 2012, stock-based compensation expense not yet recognized in income totaled $1,594,840, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 3.01 years.

 

NOTE 3.         Common Stock Warrants

The warrants vested immediately and expired on March 13, 2012. All 1,027,333 of these warrants outstanding on January 1, 2012 were exercised prior to expiration. Of the 773,000 outstanding warrants exercisable at $0.30 per share, 747,070 were exercised on a net share basis and 25,930 were exercised for cash generating proceeds of $7,779 to the Company.

In connection with the acquisition of Conmed, Inc. on January 26, 2007, we issued to Maxim Group LLC, our exclusive placement agent, a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $2.75 per share. The warrant vested immediately and expired on January 26, 2012. All 15,750 of these warrants outstanding on January 1, 2012 were exercised on a net share basis prior to expiration.

 

Consultant Warrant @ $3.72 per share

In connection with a consulting agreement dated July 24, 2007, we issued to a consultant a warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.72 per share expiring July 24, 2011. The warrant vested over one year and was contingent upon the continued service to the Company of the warrant holder. These warrants expired on July 24, 2011.

 

Consultant Warrants @ $1.85 per share

In connection with the purchase in 2008 of all of the assets of Emergency Medicine Documentation Consultants, P.C., a provider of medical services in northwest Oregon, we issued warrants to two consultants to purchase an aggregate of 80,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.85 per share. The warrants vested immediately and expire February 28, 2013.

NOTE 4.         Fair Value of Warrants

 

As a result of adopting derivative accounting for certain warrants which contain an exercise price adjustment feature effective January 1, 2009, 1,705,000 of our then issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants previously treated as equity were no longer afforded equity treatment and as a result were recorded as a liability based on fair value estimates. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, warrants to purchase 90,000 and 814,570 shares of common stock, respectively, were amended to remove the provisions that resulted in the liability treatment and were treated as equity. During the year ended December 31 2011, 771,020 of our previously issued, amended and outstanding common stock purchase warrants were amended a second time in connection with the previously terminated merger agreement to have a cash settlement feature and, as a result, were no longer afforded equity treatment. This resulted in a reclassification from equity to liability of $2,513,391 in 2011 compared to a $282,670 reclassification of liability to equity in 2010 reflecting the first warrant amendment. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and all changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, amended or expire.

NOTE 5.         Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company is required to disclose the fair value measurements required by the fair value measurement guidance. The derivative financial instruments recorded at fair value in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

 

·

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The following tables summarize the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

 

		As of March 31, 2012
		Total				Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)				Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Derivative financial instruments		$	130,590			$	—		$	—		$	130,590

 

		As of December 31, 2011
		Total				Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)				Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Derivative financial instruments		$	2,162,536			$	—		$	—		$	2,162,536

 

 

Equity-linked financial instruments consist of stock warrants issued by the Company that contain an exercise price adjustment feature or a cash settlement feature. In accordance with derivative accounting for warrants, we calculated the fair value of warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used are described in Note 4, “Fair Value of Warrants”. Any gains and losses related to the change in fair value of the financial instruments are included in other income (expense) on the Statements of Income.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, certain warrants were exercised and, as a result, the fair value of $2,337,270 was transferred from a liability and into equity and we recognized a $267,407 realized loss related to the exercise of these warrants. We also recognized a $37,917 unrealized loss related to the change in fair value of the warrants outstanding at March 31, 2012.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, certain warrants were exercised and, as a result, the fair value of $5,097 was transferred from a liability and into equity and we recognized a $651 realized loss related to the exercise of these warrants. We also recognized a $129,093 unrealized loss related to the change in fair value of the warrants outstanding at March 31, 2011.

 

The following table reflects the activity for liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31:

 

		2012				2011
Fair value of warrants outstanding as of January 1		$	2,162,536			$	692,696
Fair value of exercised warrants transferred to equity			(2,337,270	)			(5,097	)
Realized loss on warrants exercised or reclassified to equity treatment upon amendment			267,407				651
Unrealized loss on warrants			37,917				129,093
Fair value of warrants outstanding as of March 31		$	130,590			$	817,343

 

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents (level 1), accounts receivable (level 2), accounts payable (level 2), accrued expenses (level 2), deferred revenue (level 2), and derivative financial instruments (level 3). The fair value of current assets and current liabilities is estimated to approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

 

NOTE 6.         Earnings Per Share

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per-share:

 

		For the Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2012				March 31, 2011
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share:
Net income		$	133,517			$	393,898
Denominator:
Weighted-average basic shares outstanding			13,622,268				12,839,656
Assumed conversion of dilutive securities
Stock options			563,247				580,666
Restricted stock			314				—
Warrants			34,036				927,249
Potentially dilutive common shares			597,597				1,507,915
Denominator for diluted earnings per share – Adjusted weighted average shares			14,219,865				14,347,571
Earnings (loss) per common share:
Basic		$	0.01			$	0.03
Diluted		$	0.01			$	0.03

 

Common stock warrants and options outstanding totaling 1,094,416 and 782,958 shares, respectively, are not included in diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as they would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.

 

NOTE 7.         Professional Liability Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including claims of professional negligence based on services performed by our employees and independent medical providers, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses providing treatments at the various facilities.

 

The Company evaluates each medical malpractice claim or similar contingent liability to determine the likelihood and amount of estimated claims as follows:

 

·

In the event the Company determines it is probable that the Company will incur a loss arising from the claim and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a liability is established to satisfy the claim including an estimate of related legal fees. A receivable is then established to recognize the anticipated insurance recoveries at the same time that it recognized the liability, measured on the same basis as the liability, subject to the need for a valuation allowance for uncollectible accounts.

 

·

In the event the Company determines it is not probable that the Company will incur a loss arising from the claim or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, no liability is established to satisfy the claim and legal fees related to the claim are expensed as incurred.

 

These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available.

 

The amounts accrued for contingencies deemed probable are included in accrued expenses and total $186,000 and $0 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The amounts recorded for insurance recoveries are included in accounts receivable and total $136,000 and $0 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

 

NOTE 8.         Income Tax Matters

 

Our effective tax rate was 47.2% and 42.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which differs from the expected tax rate of 40.0%, primarily due to permanent differences related to stock-based compensation and derivatives related to warrants. The change in our effective tax rate from prior periods is primarily due to higher permanent differences related to stock-based compensation and derivatives related to warrants. We recorded income tax expense of $119,000 and $293,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

General

 

We provide healthcare services to county and municipal detention centers across the United States. As a result of the Supreme Court decision in Estelle v. Gamble (1976), all individuals held against their will are required to be provided with community standard healthcare. Under this requirement, correctional institutions are required to provide healthcare services for their inmates. We are a specialist in the provision of these services, having provided correctional healthcare services since 1984. We began providing correctional healthcare services in the State of Maryland, and currently serve county and municipal correctional facilities in forty-five counties in ten states: Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington. Our services have expanded to include mental health, pharmacy and out-of-facility healthcare services.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim periods and require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related medical expense accruals, amortization and potential impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and stock-based compensation expense. As these are condensed consolidated financial statements, one should also read expanded information about our critical accounting policies and estimates provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2012. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

The following discussion of financial results is derived from unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

		Three Months Ended March 31, 2012								Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Summary

Net revenue from medical services provided primarily to correctional institutions for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, was $18,939,216 and $16,311,093, respectively, which represents an increase of $2,628,123 or 16.1%. Net income was $133,517, or 0.7% of revenue, compared to net income of $393,898, or 2.4% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which represented a decrease in net income of $260,381.

 

 

Revenue

The addition of service contracts signed with new jurisdictions since January 1, 2011 accounted for $2,471,426 or 94.0% of the increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period for the prior year. These jurisdictions are as follows: Alexandria, VA; Galveston County, TX; Gray County, TX; Haywood County, TN; Ocean County, NJ; Oldham County, TX; Newport News, VA; Randall County, TX; and Worcester County, MD. Revenue improvement totaling $90,946, or 3.3% of the increase over the prior year period, resulted primarily from expansion of the services provided under a number of our existing contracts in which we were providing services prior to January 1, 2011. Price increases related to existing service requirements totaled $270,706, or 10.3% of the revenue increase over the prior year period. Also, partially offsetting the revenue increases above were decreases in other volume related activities totaling $204,955 primarily associated with a decrease in stop/loss reimbursements due to lower out-of-facility medical expenditures in excess of stop/loss limits which are billed back to clients and business decisions to exit specific less profitable markets, both of which were partially offset by an increase in revenue associated with higher inmate populations at certain facilities.

 

Healthcare Expenses

Salaries and employee benefits

Salaries and employee benefits for healthcare employees were $10,975,655, or 58.0% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $9,295,969, or 57.0% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $1,679,686, or 18.1%. The increase in spending as a percent of revenue is primarily due to having 91 days in the three months ended March 31, 2012 resulting in one day of additional wages being paid compared to 90 days in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Approximately 86.4% of the increase is related to new healthcare employees required to support the staffing requirements for our new medical service contracts as detailed above. Additional services related to previously existing medical service contracts, as well as cost-of-living and wage and benefit adjustments for existing employees accounted for the remainder of the increase.

 

Medical expenses

Medical expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $3,934,623, or 20.8% of revenue, and $3,419,644, or 21.0% of revenue, respectively, which represented an increase of $514,979, or 15.1%. The increase in spending for medical expenses in absolute dollars primarily reflects increases related to medical services for new contracts both in- and out-of-facility as well as pharmacy services which were partially offset by decreases in out-of-facility expenditures at certain existing facilities. The decrease in medical expenses as a percentage of revenue results, in part, from a decrease in out-of-facility expense at certain facilities which was partially offset by increases in pharmacy expenses at existing facilities. The increase in spending resulting from new service contracts was partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in medical expenses at existing sites. This decrease is primarily the result of a 26.7% decrease in out-of-facility expenses and a 5.0% decrease of in-facility expenses, which were partially offset by a 30.2% increase in pharmacy expenses.

 

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses were $851,112, or 4.5% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $606,931, or 3.7% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase of $244,181 in spending is primarily related to a $136,898 increase in legal fees, a $63,376 increase in travel expenses and a $26,103 increase in information systems expenses partially offset by a $19,768 reduction in professional liability insurance and an $11,182 reduction in education expenses.

 

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased to $3,177,826 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $2,988,549 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting the higher volume. However, gross margin as a percentage of revenue declined to 16.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 18.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to lower initial margins associated with the new contract wins. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 at existing contracts in which we were providing services prior to January 1, 2011 was 17.1%. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 for new contracts added since January 1, 2011 was 14.6%.

 

Operating Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $2,516,735, or 13.3% of revenue, and $2,027,966, or 12.4% of revenue, respectively. The increased expenditure of $488,770 primarily reflects an increased investment in additional management and administrative personnel required to support new contracts and services added since January 1, 2011 coupled with a $116,009 increase in board expenses, which was primarily attributed to restricted stock compensation, and a $41,478 increase in business taxes which were partially offset by a $32,602 reduction in consulting, a $19,720 decrease in accounting fees, and a $13,652 reduction in travel expenses. Stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $140,812 and $104,829, respectively. Restricted stock compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $77,559 and $0, respectively.

 

 

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization primarily reflects the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of Conmed, Inc. in January 2007 and the acquisition of Correctional Mental Health Services, LLC (“CMHS”) in November 2008. Amortization of service contracts acquired was $18,400, or 0.1% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $61,000, or 0.4% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease primarily reflects a decrease in amortization expense as certain individual service contracts acquired have become fully amortized. Amortization of non-compete agreements was $20,222, or 0.1% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $36,667, or 0.2% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Depreciation expense increased to $85,216 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $74,804 for the prior year period due primarily to capital expenditures associated with purchases of vehicles, software and medical equipment which was partially offset by lower computer depreciation as certain assets have become fully depreciated.

 

Interest income

Interest income was $24,505 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $28,530 for the same period in 2011. Reduced short-term interest rates partially offset by higher average cash balances during the three months ended March 31, 2012 account for the decreased interest income compared to the same period in 2011.

 

(Loss) on fair value of derivatives

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized a realized loss of $267,407 and $651, respectively, related to warrants subject to derivative accounting treatment that were exercised and transferred to equity treatment. The realized loss is the difference between the fair value at the date of exercise and the fair value at the beginning of each year. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded an unrealized loss of $37,917 and $129,093, respectively. The unrealized loss is the difference between the fair value of warrants remaining at the end of each period and the fair value of those same warrants at the beginning of the each year. The decrease of $91,176 was primarily the result of the decreased number of warrants subject to the derivative accounting treatment due to the exercise of all but 80,000 of the outstanding warrants partially offset by the increase in our stock price of $0.64 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a $0.22 stock price increase during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, 31,763 warrants subject to derivative accounting treatment were exercised generating $22,362 of cash receipts and warrants subject to derivative accounting treatment totaling 1,005,020 shares of common stock were exercised by cashless exercise resulting in the issue of 717,297 shares of common stock. As a result, a total of 749,060 shares of common stock were issued related to the exercise of warrants subject to derivative accounting treatment. The fair value of the exercised warrants transferred to equity was $2,337,270 which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on each exercise date. As of March 31, 2012, we had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 80,000 shares of common stock that remain subject to derivative accounting. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, 6,667 warrants were exercised generating $16,667 of cash receipts.

 

The following table summarizes the change in fair value for the three months ended March 31:

 

		2012				2011
Fair value of warrants outstanding as of January 1		$	2,162,536			$	692,696
Fair value of exercised warrants transferred to equity			(2,337,270	)			(5,097	)
Realized loss on warrants exercised or reclassified to equity treatment upon amendment			267,407				651
Unrealized loss on warrants			37,917				129,093
Fair value of warrants outstanding as of March 31		$	130,590			$	817,343

 

See Note 4, “Fair Value of Warrants”, for additional information on the warrant activity subject to fair value accounting for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Income tax expense

Our effective tax rate was 47.2% and 42.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which differs from the expected tax rate of 40.0%, primarily due to permanent differences related to stock-based compensation and derivatives related to warrants. The change in our effective tax rate from prior periods is primarily due to higher permanent differences related to stock-based compensation and derivatives related to warrants. We recorded income tax expense of $119,000 and $293,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Financing is generally provided by funds generated from our operating activities.

 

Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011

Cash as of March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was $16,873,376 and $13,984,226, respectively. We believe that our existing cash balances and anticipated cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements and liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $1,324,744, reflecting a net income of $133,517 plus $721,241 in adjustments for non-cash expenses such as amortization of intangible assets of $38,622, amortization of long-term customer agreement of $43,750, stock-based compensation of $140,812, restricted stock compensation of $77,559, change in fair value of warrants of $305,324, depreciation of $85,216, gain on the disposal of property of $24,042 and deferred income taxes of $54,000. Changes in working capital components provided $469,986, reflective of a decrease in prepaid expenses of $231,590 and increases in accrued expenses of $414,503, accounts payable of $1,586,698 and deferred revenue of $23,427, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $926,643 and decreases in deposits of $62,517 and income taxes payable of $797,072. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of vendor payments in relation to quarter end. The increase in accrued expenses resulted primarily from increases in accrued medical expenses, accrued malpractice litigation expenses and accruals for employee benefits which was partially offset by a decrease in accrued wages covering seven fewer days as compared to the accrual at December 31, 2011. The decrease in income taxes payable/receivable resulted primarily from the payment of scheduled estimated taxes partially offset by accruals of estimated taxes payable. The increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from slower collection of receivables on certain existing medical service contracts resulting in an average 19.0 days sales outstanding as of March 31, 2012 as well as increased insurance carrier receivables related to malpractice litigation and was partially offset by decreased receivables for stop/loss reimbursements due to out-of-facility medical expenditures in excess of stop/loss limits. The decrease in prepaid expenses resulted primarily from a reduction in prepaid professional liability insurance. We prepaid our annual professional liability insurance policy premium in October 2011 and we expense the prepaid amounts ratably during the annual policy period of October through September. The increase in deposits resulted primarily from a bid deposit required for a request for proposal which will be refunded upon award of the contract. Deferred revenue reflects increased deferred expenses for out-of-facility patient care offset by lower prepayments for services to be performed in after March 31, 2012.

 

Cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $846,728, reflecting net income of $393,898 plus $485,794 in adjustments for non-cash expenses such as amortization of intangible assets of $97,667, amortization of long-term customer agreement of $43,750, stock-based compensation of $104,829, change in fair value of warrants of $129,744, depreciation of $74,804 and deferred income taxes of $35,000. Changes in working capital components used $32,964, reflecting a decrease in accounts payable of $343,340, accrued expenses of $200,076 and income taxes payable of $151,300 partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $325,445, prepaid expenses of $240,353 and deposits of $25,201 in addition to an increase in deferred revenue of $70,753. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of vendor payments in relation to quarter end. The decrease in accrued expenses resulted primarily from a decrease in accrued wages covering eight fewer days as compared to the accrual at December 31, 2010 which was partially offset by increases in accrued medical expenses and accruals for employee benefits. The decrease in income taxes payable resulted primarily from the payment of scheduled estimated taxes partially offset by accruals of estimated taxes payable. The decrease in accounts receivable resulted primarily from faster collection of receivables on new medical service contracts added in 2010 which was partially offset by increased receivables for stop/loss reimbursements due to out-of-facility medical expenditures in excess of stop/loss limits related to new service contracts. The decrease in prepaid expenses resulted primarily from a reduction in prepaid professional liability insurance. We prepaid our annual professional liability insurance policy premium in October 2010 and we expense the prepaid amounts ratably during the annual policy period of October through September. The decrease in deposits resulted primarily from the return of a bid deposit required for a request for proposal. Deferred revenue increased primarily as a result of an increase in advance customer payments received prior to quarter end.
