Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Apollo in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements.  The statements consist solely of the management company, Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. prior to August 1, 2008.  Commencing with the Company’s third quarter on August 1, 2008, and concurrent with the execution of the Management Services Agreement, the statements reflect the consolidation of AMM and AMH , in accordance with EITF 97-2, Application of FASB Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician Management Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual Management Agreements . In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods are reflected herein. Operating results for the nine month period ended October 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain all of the information that is included in the annual financial statements and notes of the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Reclassification

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the nine month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107(ASC 825), Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Credit and Supply Risk

The Company’s case rate and capitation revenues, reported by Apollo’s affiliate, AMH, are governed by contractual agreements with medical groups/IPA’s and hospitals.  As a result, receivables from this business are generally fully collected. The Company does face issues related to the timing of these collections, and the Company must assess the level of earned but uncollected revenue to which it is entitled at each period end. The Company does face collection issues with regard to its fee-for-service revenues. One is the estimation of the amount to be received from each billing since the Company invoices on a Medicare schedule and each of many providers remits payment on a reduced schedule.  The Company has to estimate the amount it will ultimately receive from each billing and properly record revenue. With a wide variety of contract terms and providers, the Company’s revenue is not concentrated or dependent on a specific contract.  No individual contract with our clients provides more than 20 percent of reported revenues.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1, (ASC 825), and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures will be required beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of these additional disclosures.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”), (ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing),which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), (ASC 810, Consolidation),which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. SFAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 168”), (ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles),which becomes effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 168 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with US GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy).

Stock-based compensation

On October 17, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R (ASC 718), “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” As of the date of this report the Company has no stock based incentive plan in effect.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128, ASC 260), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net income (loss) per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents was at $863,394 include cash in bank representing the Company’s current operating account and $809,934 in a brokerage money market account, as of October 31, 2009, representing the net proceeds of the recently completed private placement.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes Case Rate, Hourly and Capitation revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, service has been rendered, the service rate is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonable assured.  Fee for Service revenues are recorded at amounts reasonably assured to be collected. The determination of reasonably assured collections is based on historical Fee for Service collections as a percent of billings. The provisions are adjusted to reflect actual collections in subsequent periods.

 
8

 

The estimation and the reporting of patient responsibility revenues is highly subjective and depends on the payer mix, contractual reimbursement rates, collection experiences, judgment and other factors.  The Company’s fee arrangements are with various payers, including managed care organizations, hospitals, insurance companies, individuals, Medicare and Medicaid.

3.
Uncertainty of ability to continue as a going concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,231,036 as of October 31, 2009.  Net Cash Flow used by Operating Activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2009 was $188,126.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

To date the Company has funded its operations from both internally generated cash flow and external sources, and the proceeds available from the recently completed private placement provide funds for near-term operations and growth. The Company will pursue additional external capitalization opportunities, as necessary, to fund its long-term goals and objectives.

4.
Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible, based upon historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at each quarter end. As of October 31, 2009, Accounts Receivable totals $416,586, net of a provision for bad debt expense of $16,418, and represents amounts invoiced by AMH. Accounts Receivable was $255,665, net of the provision for bad debt expense of $11,465, on January 31, 2009.

10% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Notes due January 31, 2013
On October 16, 2009, the Company issued $1,250,000 of its 10% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Notes. The net proceeds of $1,100,000 will be used for the repayment of existing debt, acquisitions, physician recruitment and other general corporate purposes. The notes bear interest at a rate of 10% annually, payable semi annually on January 31 and July 31. The Notes mature and become due and payable on January 31, 2013 and rank senior to all other unsecured debt of the Company.
 
The 10% Notes were sold through a private placement in the form of a Unit. Each Unit was comprised of one 10% Senior Subordinated Callable Note with a par value $25,000, and one five-year warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price of each Unit was $25,000, resulting in gross proceeds of $1,250,000.

In connection with the private placement, the Company paid a commission of $125,000 and $25,000 representing a non-accountable expense fee.  The placement agent also received five-year warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.25 per share.  The placement agent also received 100,000 shares of restricted common stock for pre-transaction advisory and due diligence. The commission of $125,000 paid at closing is accounted for as a prepaid expense and will be amortized over a forty-month period through January 31, 2013, the maturity date of the notes.  The $25,000 of transaction related costs were expensed and reported as financing costs in the Operating Statement.  Interest expense of $9,889 was recorded in the quarter ended October 31, 2009.
 
The 10% Notes are convertible any time prior to January 31, 2013. The initial conversion rate is 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per $25,000 principal amount of the 10% Notes (Subject to certain events). This represents an initial conversion price of $0.125 per share of the Company’s common stock.
 
On or after January 31, 2012, the Company may, at its option, upon 60 days notice to both the Note-holder’s and the placement agent, redeem all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price in cash equal to 102% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
 
The Warrants attached to the Units are exercisable into shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.125.   The Warrants have a five-year term and expire on October 31, 2014. These warrants were estimated to have a fair value of $7,442 using the Black-Scholes pricing model which was recorded as unamortized warrant discount in the quarter ended October 31, 2009.

Commitments and Contingency

On March 15, 2009, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Kaneohe Advisors LLC (Kyle Francis) under which Mr. Francis would become the Company’s Executive Vice President, Business Development and Strategy. Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Francis will be paid $8,000 per month.  In addition, Mr. Francis received 350,000 shares of restricted stock at the date of the Agreement and is entitled to 350,000 additional restricted shares on the first and second anniversaries of the Agreement, provided the Agreement is not terminated.  The initial 350,000 shares, along with 50,000 shares granted to Mr. Francis in the year ended January 2009, were issued in the third quarter ended October 31, 2009.

On September 4, 2008, Apollo Medical Management, Inc. executed an employment agreement with Jilbert Issai, M.D., to provide services as Senior Vice President.  The agreement is for an initial one-year term with provision for successive one-year periods.  Under the agreement, Doctor Issai is entitled to a nominal salary and may be granted options to purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share when and if the Company is to adopt a stock compensation plan.

On October 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Board of Director’s Agreement with Suresh Nihalani.  The Company will issue a stock award of 400,000 shares to Mr. Nihalani, under the terms of the Director’s Agreement, which shares will be issued ratably over a thirty-six month period commencing December 2008.  The shares will be released to Mr. Nihalani on a monthly basis during his tenure as a Director.  The distribution of shares will continue as long as Mr. Nihalani  serves  on the Board, but will cease when Mr. Nihalani is no longer is a Director. Mr. Nihalani was issued 11,111 shares under this agreement in the year ended January 31, 2009 and 66,666 shares in the quarter ended October 31, 2009.  In addition, 44,444 shares have been accrued as shares to be issued as a liability in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company received a claim for $250,000 relating to amounts purportedly owed by the Company as a result of the initial reverse acquisition transaction.  This dispute relates to the initial letter dated June 3, 2008.  The terms of the letter of intent call for, among other things, the payment of cash of $250,000 within 60 days of closing.  The letter of intent states, however, that it is intended to serve as a memorandum of the Parties current discussions, and that a definitive transaction agreement will follow.  The letter of intent further states that both parties acknowledge that all provisions of the letter of intent are non binding, and that no contract or agreement providing for a transaction shall be deemed to exist unless and until a final agreement has been negotiated and executed.  The final merger agreement that was executed contains a clause that it is the “entire agreement” and thus supersedes all previous agreements including the letter of intent; moreover, management contends that there are no additional amounts owed under the final merger agreement. The Company has not accrued for any amount asserted in the above claim as the attorney of the Company has advised that the claim is in its early stage and the outcome of this matter could not be predicted at this stage.

Results of Operations and Operating Data

Three Months Ended October 31, 2009 vs. Three Months Ended October 31, 2008

Net revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2009 were $616,975, compared to net revenues of $479,808 for the three months ended October 31, 2008. Net revenues are comprised of  net billings by AMH under the various fee structures from health plans, medical groups/IPA’s and hospitals, and income from service fee agreements. Net revenues of $479,808 in the third quarter of 2008 were solely fee based billings; there was no service fee income in 2008.

Physician practice salaries, benefits and other expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2009 were $455,183, at 74% of net revenues compared to $488,605 for the three months ended October 31, 2008, at 102% of net revenues.  Cost of Services includes the payroll and consulting costs of the physicians, all payroll related costs, costs for all medical malpractice insurance and physician privileges.

General and administrative expenses include all salaries, benefits, supplies and operating expenses not specifically related to the day-to-day operations of our physician group practices, including billing and collections functions,  and our corporate management and overhead. General and administrative expenses decreased $139,297, or 50%, to $139,557, at 23% of net revenues, for the three months ended October 31, 2009. General and Administrative expenses were $278,854 for the three months ended October 31, 2008, at 58% of net revenues..  The decrease in general and administrative expenses resulted from the absence in 2009 of $121,677 of non-cash compensation recorded in the third quarter of 2008.  In addition, legal fees of $18,635 in the quarter just ended were well below legal fees of $77,724 reported in the third quarter of 2008.  The absence of these costs in 2009 was partially offset by higher costs incurred to support the continuing growth of our operations, including the full period costs of our Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Business Development & Strategy. The Company incurred $19,500 one time Legal and Accounting expenses in connection with its issuance of 10% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Notes in the quarter ended October 31, 2009.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $9,622 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, and $9,996 for the comparable three-month period in 2008.

The Company reported an income from operations of $12,613 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, compared to a loss from operations of $297,647 recorded in the same period of 2008. In 2009, net revenues benefitted from the addition of several contracts with hospitals and the hiring of several additional physicians.  In addition, operating income benefitted from the absence in 2009 of non-cash compensation costs and residual legal fees from the Siclone transaction which negatively impacted the third quarter of 2008.

Interest expense and financing costs totaled $40,738 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, as compared to interest and financing costs of $28,856 for the three months ended October 31, 2008. Interest expense in 2009 included interest on the convertible notes, related party notes, the business credit line and the loan with Wells Fargo Bank, and a partial month interest on the convertible notes from the private placement. The financing cost of $25,000 in 2009 was a due diligence fee due the placement agent on completion of the private placement. Interest expense in 2008 represents interest expense on the loan with Wells Fargo Bank. Financing cost in the third quarter of 2008 included $13,500 of shares issued as financing cost and $10,000 for an origination fee.

Net Loss was $28,925 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $326,503 for the three months ended October 31, 2008.  The reduction in the net loss was the result of the factors discussed above.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2009 vs. Nine Months Ended October  31, 2008

 Apollo reported revenues of $1,699,100 for the nine months ended October 2009, compared to revenues of $499,603 in the comparable nine month period ended October 2008.  The Company increased its contracts with hospitals and independent physician associations to 12 at the end of October 2009.  In 2008, prior to the execution of the Management Services Agreement on August 1, 2008, the Company could only report management fees charged to its affiliate, AMH. Subsequent to August 1, 2008, revenues represent the billings by AMH under the various fee structures from health plans, medical groups/IPA’s and hospitals. Management fee revenues have been eliminated subsequent to August 1, 2008. Consequently, net revenues in 2008 include the full third quarter of AMH revenues and two prior quarters of management service fee income totaling $19,795 reported by AMM.

Physician practice salaries, benefits and other expenses were $1,262,430 for the nine months ended October 2009, compared to $531,411 for the corresponding nine months ended October 2008. Cost of Services were 74 % of net revenues in the nine months ended October 2009, and 106% of revenues for the nine month period ended October 2008. Cost of Services in 2008 included the third quarter of consolidated costs and $42,806 of costs recorded by AMM prior to the execution of the Management Agreement executed on August 1, 2008.   Cost of Services includes the payroll and consulting costs of the physicians, all payroll related costs, costs for all medical malpractice insurance and physician privileges.

General and administrative expenses were $434,225 in the nine months ended October 2009, down $247,008, or 36 %,  from general and administrative costs of $681,233 in the nine months ended October 31, 2008. These expenses represented 26 % of revenues in nine months just ended.  The decrease in General and Administrative costs from 2008 to 2009 was due to the absence in 2009 of $278,348 of costs related to the Siclone Merger which occurred in July 2009.  This reduction in costs was partially offset by higher public-company expenses   and costs related to the continuing growth of our operations, including the full period costs of our Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Business Development in 2009. The Company incurred $19,500 one time Legal and Accounting expenses in connection with its issuance of 10% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Notes in the quarter ended October 31, 2009.The Company recorded non-cash compensation expenses totaling $101,455, related to the issuance of shares for service in the nine months ended October 31, 2009. The company recorded $153,545 for shares issued and to be issued for compensation and financing costs in the nine months ended October 2008.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $30,297 and $9,996 for the nine months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company reported a Loss from Operations of $27,852 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2009, compared to a Loss from Operations of $723,037 for the comparable nine months ended October  31, 2008.  The decrease in the Loss from Operations of $ 695,185 from 2008 to 2009 was due to the absence of the costs incurred on the Siclone transaction which occurred in 2008, and a decrease of $257,931 in costs of shares granted and to be granted for services from 2008 to 2009.

Interest expense and financing costs were $50,546 for the nine months ended October 31, 2009, compared to interest and financing expenses of $28,856 for the nine months ended October 31, 2008.  Interest expense in 2009 included interest on the convertible notes, related party notes,  the bank line and bank credit lines with Wells Fargo Bank, and a partial month of interest on the convertible notes from the private placement.  The financing cost of $25,000 in 2009 was a due diligence fee due the placement agent on completion of the private placement. Interest expense in 2008 represent interest expense on the loan with Wells Fargo Bank. Financing cost in the third quarter of 2008 included $13,500 of shares issued as financing cost and $10,000 for an origination fee.

The Company reported a net loss of $ 79,998 for the nine months ended October 31, 2009, down $672,695 from the net loss of $752,693 for the nine months ended October 31, 2008.  The reduction in net loss from the nine months ended October 2008 to October 2009 was primarily due to the Siclone costs which negatively impacted 2008, the lower level shares granted for compensation,  coupled with the increased contribution from the hospitalist services provided by AMH in 2009.

Credit Facility and Liquidity

The Company's Business Line with Wells Fargo Bank provides a revolving line of credit of $70,000, and is linked to the AMH bank account. The line can be used for short-term working capital needs and provides overdraft protection. The line cannot be used for letters of credit.

We continue to search for investment opportunities and anticipate that funds generated from operations, together with our current cash on hand and funds available under our revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to finance our working capital requirements and fund anticipated acquisitions, contingent acquisition consideration and capital expenditures.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not hold any derivative instruments and does not engage in any hedging activities.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of October 31, 2009, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act.  

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2009.  

We have identified the following three material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures:
 
1.          We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.  Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
 
2.          We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control.  Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
 
3.           We do not have review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions. The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy of financial information reported. The failure to review and supervise could allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information. Due to our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or economically feasible.  Management evaluated the impact of our significant number of audit adjustments, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
 
Based on the foregoing materials weaknesses, we have determined that, as of October 31, 2009, that our disclosure controls and procedures are insufficient.  The Company continues to take steps to improve the timeliness and accuracy of its financial information, including the hiring of additional employees to facilitate proper segregation of duties.  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, and for assessing the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter (i.e., the three-month period ended October 31, 2009) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
