NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 14, 1998, the Company resolved its dispute with certain
subsidiaries of Sierra Health Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Sierra"), a
party to a PBM Services Agreement (the "Sierra Agreement") with the Company. As
disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K, this dispute related to the parties'
divergent interpretations of certain provisions of the Sierra Agreement, which
led to Sierra's non-payment of certain invoiced amounts. Under the terms of the
settlement, both parties dismissed their respective claims pending in the United
States District Court, District of Nevada and the American Arbitration
Association. In addition, the parties modified a number of provisions of the
Sierra Agreement, including the addition of a provision permitting any party to
terminate the Sierra Agreement at any time and for any reason upon 90 days'
prior written notice. On May 8, 1998, the Company notified Sierra of its
intention to terminate the Sierra Agreement 90 days after notice thereof in
6
accordance with the terms of the Sierra Agreement. The Company continues to
provide pharmacy benefit management services to Sierra under the Sierra
Agreement during this 90-day period.
Effective May 15, 1998, Mr. John H. Klein, currently the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a director, will
resign from all positions held with the Company, including Chief Executive
Officer, Chairman of the Board and director. Effective on that date, Mr. Richard
H. Friedman, currently the Company's Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer and a director will succeed Mr. Klein as the Company's Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. Scott R. Yablon, currently a director of the Company, has joined
the Company as an employee, and effective May 15, 1998, will assume the titles
of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements, the related Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included in the Form 10-K as well as the
unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes to the
unaudited consolidated interim financial statements included in Item 1 of this
Report.
Certain statements contained in this report are not purely historical and
are considered 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"),
including statements regarding the Company's expectations, hopes, intentions or
strategies regarding the future, as well as statements which are not historical
fact. Forward looking statements may include statements relating to business
development activities, future capital expenditures, the effects of regulation
and competition on the Company's business, future operating performance of the
Company and the results and/or effect of legal proceedings or investigations
and/or the resolution or settlement thereof. Investors are cautioned that any
such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially
from those in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors.
These factors include, among other things, risks associated with capitated
(i.e., risk-based) contracts, increased government regulation related to the
health care industry in general and more specifically, pharmacy benefit
management organizations, increased competition from the Company's competitors,
including competitors which are vertically integrated with pharmaceutical
manufacturers, and the existence of complex laws and regulations relating to the
Company's business. This Report and the Form 10-K contain information regarding
important factors which could cause such differences.
Overview
A majority of the Company's revenues to date have been derived from
operations in the State of Tennessee in conjunction with RxCare of Tennessee,
Inc. ("RxCare"), a pharmacy services administrative organization owned by the
Tennessee Pharmacists Association. The Company assisted RxCare in defining and
marketing pharmacy benefit services to private health plan sponsors on a
consulting basis in 1993, but did not commence substantial operations until
January 1994 when RxCare began servicing health plan sponsors involved in the
newly instituted TennCare(R) state health program. At March 31, 1998, the
Company provided pharmacy benefit management services to 46 health plan sponsors
with an aggregate of approximately 1.9 million plan members. TennCare(R)
represented 1.2 million members.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to three months ended March 31, 1997
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded revenue of
$98.0 million compared with revenue of $70.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, an increase of $27.2 million. $17.6 million of the increase
resulted from servicing 14 new plans covering approximately 490,000 lives
throughout the United States as well as increased enrollment in existing
commercial plans. Sierra, enrolled in October 1997, accounted for $10.0 million
of the increased commercial revenue. TennCare(R) sponsors contributed an
additional $9.6 million
7
increase of revenue. In the last quarter of 1997, the Company entered into new
contracts with two TennCare(R) MCO's to which the Company previously provided
PBM services. These new contracts increased revenues by $17.1 million. In
addition, favorable contract renegotiations and increased enrollment in other
existing TennCare(R) sponsors increased revenues by $18.4 million. These
increases in TennCare(R) revenues were partially offset by a decrease of $25.9
million from the restructuring in April 1997 of a major TennCare(R) contract (as
discussed below). The contract was restructured from a risk-based (capitated)
arrangement to a non-risk (fee-for-service) arrangement, although the Company
continued to provide essentially the same services under the restructured
contract. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, approximately 39% of the
Company's revenues were generated from risk (capitated) contracts, compared to
68% during the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Cost of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased to $92.4
million from $66.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, an increase of
$25.6 million. New commercial contracts together with increased enrollment in
existing commercial plans resulted in $18.4 million of such increases in cost of
revenue. Such increase includes costs of $10.1 million resulting from the Sierra
Agreement which utilized $2.6 million of the reserve established at December 31,
1997. TennCare(R) contracts contributed $7.2 million of increased cost of
revenue. Costs relating to TennCare(R) contracts increased by $32.7 million due
to the two new TennCare(R) contracts referred to above ($16.5 million) and
eligibility increases in existing plans, increased drug prices, and increased
utilization of prescription drugs ($16.2 million). These costs were offset by
the above-mentioned restructuring of a major TennCare(R) contract, which
resulted in a decrease in cost of revenue of $25.5 million. As a percentage of
revenue, cost of revenue was 94.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to 94.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $3.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, an increase of 15%. The additional $.6 million reflects an
increase in the Company's revenue along with a continuing commitment to enhance
its ability to manage efficiently pharmacy benefits by investing in additional
operational and clinical personnel and information systems to support new and
existing customers. In addition, the Company experienced an increase in legal
fees. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 4.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 5.5% for the
three months ended March 31, 1997.
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded interest
income of $.5 million compared with $.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997, a decrease of $.1 million. The decrease resulted from a lower level of
invested funds in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of
1997. The level of invested funds decreased due to the operating needs of the
Company.
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded net income
of $1.6 million, or $.12 per basic share. This compares with net income of $.7
million, or $.06 per basic share, for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
This decrease is due largely to the above-described changes in revenue and cost
of revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, net cash used in operating
activities totaled $9.5 million, primarily due to increases in receivables of
approximately $11.1 million resulting from increased revenues from both the
TennCare(R) and commercial contracts. Such uses were partially offset by
increases in claims payables of approximately $2.5 million. Investing activities
provided $5.8 million in cash due primarily to the proceeds from maturities of
investment securities of approximately $10.3 million, offset by the purchase of
new investment securities of approximately $4.0 million. The Company purchased
$.5 million of property and equipment, primarily to upgrade and enhance
information systems necessary to strengthen and support the Company's ability to
manage better its customers' pharmacy benefits programs.
At March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $13.0 million,
compared to $9.3 million at December 31, 1997. Cash and cash equivalents
decreased to $5.8 million at March 31, 1998 compared with $9.6 million at
December 31, 1997. The Company had investment securities held to maturity of
$16.3 million and $22.6 million at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively. With the exception of the Company's $2.3 million preferred stock
investment in Wang Healthcare Information Systems, Inc. ("WHIS"), the Company's
investments are primarily corporate debt securities rated A or better and
government securities. In June 1997, the Company
8
invested $2.3 million in the preferred stock of WHIS, a company engaged in the
development, sales and marketing of PC-based information systems for physicians
and their staff, using image-based technology.
At March 31, 1998, the Company had, for tax purposes, unused net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $18.3 million which will begin expiring in
2008. The amount of net operating loss carryforwards which may be utilized in
any given year may become limited by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, if a cumulative
change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within a three year period.
The Company believes that its financial condition and capital structure as
a result of its initial public offering (the "Offering") has enhanced its
ability to negotiate and obtain additional contracts with plan sponsors and
other potential customers. The Company believes that it has sufficient cash on
hand or available to fund the Company's anticipated working capital and other
cash needs for the foreseeable future.
The Company intends to offset, against profit sharing amounts, if any, due
RxCare in the future under the Company's contract with RxCare, approximately
$4.9 million, representing RxCare's share of the Company's cumulative losses and
amounts previously advanced or paid to RxCare.
As part of its continued efforts to expand its pharmacy management
business, the Company expects to incur additional sales and marketing expenses.
The Company also may pursue joint venture arrangements, business acquisitions
and other transactions designed to expand its pharmacy management business,
which the Company would expect to fund from cash on hand or future indebtedness
or, if appropriate, the sale or exchange of equity securities of the Company.
Other Matters
The Company's pharmaceutical claims costs historically have been subject
to a significant increase over annual averages from October through February,
which the Company believes is due to increased medical problems during the
colder months. Currently, non-risk contracts represented 61% of the Company's
revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Under non-risk contracts,
seasonally higher utilization no longer materially adversely effects the
Company's gross margin.
Changes in prices charged by manufacturers and wholesalers for
pharmaceuticals, a component of pharmaceutical claims, have historically
affected the Company's cost of revenue. The Company believes that it is likely
for prices to continue to increase which could have an adverse effect on the
Company's gross profit. To the extent such cost increases adversely effect the
Company's gross profit, the Company may be required to increase contract rates
on new contracts and upon renewal of existing contracts. However, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining these increased
rates.
The TennCare(R) program has been controversial since its inception and has
generated federal and state government investigations and adverse publicity.
There can be no assurances that the Company's association with the TennCare(R)
program will not adversely affect the Company's business in the future.
On January 27, 1998, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CMP
Acquisition Corp. ("CMP"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with
Continental Managed Pharmacy Services, Inc. ("Continental") and certain of its
principal shareholders. Upon consummation of the merger (the "Merger"), CMP and
Continental would merge, whereupon Continental would be the surviving
corporation and the separate corporate existence of CMP would terminate.
Thereafter, Continental would become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Merger is subject to a number of customary conditions to closing. While it
is anticipated that the Merger would occur during the second quarter of 1998,
there can be no assurances that the Merger will be consummated at such time or
at all.
On April 14, 1998, the Company resolved its dispute with certain
subsidiaries of Sierra. As disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K, this dispute
related to the parties' divergent interpretations of certain provisions of the
Sierra Agreement, which led to Sierra's non-payment of certain invoiced amounts.
Under the terms of the settlement, both parties dismissed their respective
claims pending in the United States District Court, District of
9
Nevada and the American Arbitration Association. In addition, the parties
modified a number of provisions of the Sierra Agreement, including the addition
of a provision permitting any party to terminate the Sierra Agreement at any
time and for any reason upon 90 days' prior written notice. On May 8, 1998, the
Company notified Sierra of its intention to terminate the Sierra Agreement 90
days after notice thereof in accordance with the terms of the Sierra Agreement.
The Company continues to provide pharmacy benefit management services to Sierra
under the Sierra Agreement for such 90-day period.
Effective May 15, 1998, John H. Klein, currently the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a director, will
resign from all positions held with the Company, including Chief Executive
Officer, Chairman of the Board and director. Effective on that date, Richard H.
Friedman, currently the Company's Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer and a director will succeed Mr. Klein as the Company's Chief Executive
Officer. Scott R. Yablon, currently a director of the Company, has agreed to
join the Company as an employee, and effective May 15, 1998, will assume the
titles of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
From August 14, 1996 through March 31, 1998, the $46,788,000 net proceeds
from the Offering, pursuant to a Registration Statement assigned file number
333-05327 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and
declared effective by the Commission on August 14, 1996, have been applied in
the following approximate amounts:
Construction of plant, building and facilities..............$ -
Purchase and installation of machinery and equipment........$ 2,122,000
Purchases of real estate....................................$ -
Acquisition of other business...............................$ 2,300,000
Repayment of indebtedness...................................$ -
Working capital.............................................$20,207,000
Temporary investments:
Marketable securities...................................$16,343,000
Overnight cash deposits.................................$ 5,816,000
To date the Company has expended a relatively insignificant portion of the
Offering proceeds on expansion of the Company's "preferred generics" business
although, at the time of the Offering as disclosed in the prospectus related
thereto, the Company intended to apply approximately $18.6 million of Offering
proceeds to fund such expansion. As of the date of this filing, the Company has
not determined the ultimate amount or timing of application of Offering proceeds
to such use.

directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no
public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the

the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of

may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be
elected (i) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) provided that the Board of
Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such special
meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (x) has given timely notice
thereof meeting the requirements of Section 2.09(b)(3), (y) is a stockholder of
record at the time of giving of such notice and (z) is entitled to vote at the
meeting.

the day on which public announcement is made of the date of the special meeting
and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such
meeting. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom
the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director,
all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in
each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such
person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and
to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the
notice and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is
made, (x) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the
Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owners, if any, and (y) the class

the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections
13, 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the
matters set forth in this Section 2.09. Nothing in this Section 2.09 shall be

Section 3.10. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof

dated as of May 30, 1996, between the Company and the Employee (the "Employment
Agreement").
4. (a) The Company shall promptly, but in no event more than seven (7)
days, following delivery of required documentation and full payment, approve and
process all option exercises by the Employee, and the Company shall promptly,
but in no event more than seven (7) days, following delivery of customary
documentation, approve and process all requests from the Employee, or on his
behalf, to remove restrictive legends, stop-transfer instructions or other
restrictions relating to shares of the Company's stock owned by the Employee so

available to the Employee.
(b) The Company shall, until such time as the Employee has exercised
all of his options to purchase shares of the Company's stock and sold all of the
shares received upon such exercise (or any securities into which such shares are
converted or exchanged), maintain the effectiveness of the registration
statement on Form S-8 (as filed with the SEC (as defined below) on August 19,
1997, and as the same may be amended from time to time), and any required state
securities registrations or qualifications, to the effect that the Employee is

Incorporation and By-Laws and the provisions of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, as all of the same are in effect as of the date hereof

the date hereof), (i) the Employee shall have no personal liability to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty

this Separation Agreement or the Employee's resignation without the prior
written consent of the Employee, and, except in connection with governmental or
judicial proceedings or investigations, the Company and the Employee will not
disparage each other or their reputations in the business community.
16. (a) The Employee and each of his affiliates listed on the signature
pages hereto (collectively, including the Employee, the "Employee Entities")
hereby agrees that, during the time this Agreement is in effect, at any meeting

of the shareholders of the Company, each of the Employee Entities shall vote the
shares of Company stock then owned by him, her or it in favor of the Merger (as
defined in the Merger Agreement), the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
(b) In the event that any of the Employee Entities shall fail to
comply with the provisions of Section 16(a) hereof, each Employee Entity agrees

of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or
executed, shall not be effective) by each such Employee Entity with respect
thereto. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive
the death, incapacity, dissolution or liquidation of each such Employee Entity.
The provisions of this Section 16 do not violate, conflict with or result in a
breach of any provision of or constitute a default (or an event which, with

the terms, conditions or provisions of any contract or other agreement to which
any Employee Entity is a party or by or to which any Employee Entity or the
shares of Company stock held by any Employee Entity are bound or subject.
Without limiting in any way the rights of the Employee Entities to transfer
Company stock, no Employee Entity shall transfer shares of Company stock to an
affiliate unless such affiliate agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company
to be bound by this Section 16.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 16
shall be of no further force and effect, and the proxy contained herein shall
terminate, if (i)(A) there is a material adverse change in the information
relating to the Merger from that described to the Employee in a letter from the
Company dated the date hereof, and (B) the Employee has notified the Company's
general counsel of such material adverse change in writing (such writing to be
received prior to the fifth day after the mailing to the Company's stockholders
of the final proxy statement/prospectus included within the Form S-4 (or, if
later, any supplement or amendment thereto), (ii) the Merger Agreement is
terminated, or (iii) the Merger does not occur prior to August 31, 1998. In any
such event, the proxy and power of attorney contained herein shall terminate and
be of no further force and effect.
17. In consideration of, among other things, the agreements of the Company
set forth herein, the Employee hereby releases on behalf of himself, his spouse,
heirs, successors and assigns, the Company and each of its respective
