Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1998
1. Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
First Commonwealth, Inc., together with its subsidiaries and an affiliate
(collectively, the "Company"). All material intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain notes and other information normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial
statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in accordance with
such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company's management, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the
financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1998, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The results of operations
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
2. Earnings Per Share
Under SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share is replaced by "Basic"
earnings per share ("EPS"), which excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. "Diluted" EPS, which is computed similarly to
fully diluted EPS, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock.
The following table reconciles the numerators (Net Income) and denominators
(Shares) of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1997
Total subscriber revenue increased by $2.1 million, or 15.1%, to $16.0
million in the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $13.9 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1997. This increase is attributable to increased
enrollment in the Company's managed care plans as well as the price increases
that took effect on the managed care and indemnity/PPO plans effective January
1, 1998. Managed care revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 10.2%, to $11.9
million in the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $10.8 million in the same
period in 1997, primarily due to an increase in new members and price increases.
Indemnity/PPO revenue increased $0.9 million to $3.8 million in 1998 from $2.9
million in 1997, primarily as a result of adding new indemnity/PPO plan members.
Total gross margin increased by $559,000 or 11.8% to $5.3 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1998 from $4.7 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1997. Total gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 33.2% in 1998
as compared to 34.2% in 1997. This percentage decline was primarily the result
of a decrease in the indemnity/PPO gross margin. In addition, the overall
indemnity/PPO business increased as a percentage of total revenue, but carries a
lower gross margin percentage than the managed care business. Managed care gross
margin as a percentage of managed care revenue was 37.5% in 1998 as compared to
37.3% in 1997. The indemnity/PPO gross margin as a percentage of indemnity/PPO
revenue decreased to 14.7% in 1998 from 17.0% in 1997. This change is the result
of an increase in dental benefit expenses primarily under the Company's
indemnity/PPO contracts. The Company expects the indemnity/PPO gross margin
percentage to remain fairly consistant with the current level throughout the
balance of 1998. The Company does not expect the indemnity/PPO gross margin
percentage to return to pre-1997 levels in 1998. In addition, overall gross
margin percentages will vary if the mix of the Company's indemnity/PPO and
managed care business changes from current levels.
SG&A expenses increased by $385,000, or 11.0% to $3.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 from $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses dropped to 24.3% for 1998 from
25.2% for 1997. The change is primarily the result of economies of scale in
meeting the administrative needs of increased enrollment due to the relatively
fixed nature of certain SG&A expenses as well as higher revenues relative to the
SG&A expenses associated with the indemnity/PPO plans.
Operating income increased by $174,000, or 14.0%, to $1.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 from $1.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. As a percentage of revenue, operating income was 8.9% in 1998 as
compared to 9.0% in 1997. The decline was due primarily to the lower gross
margin, partially offset by the lower SG&A as a percentage of revenue.
Interest income increased by $73,000 to $184,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 from $111,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 primarily
as a result of improved cash flow from operations.
10
<PAGE>
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was 40.5%
versus 41.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to
investments in tax-free funds.
Net income increased by $154,000, or 19.3%, to $952,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 from $798,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. Diluted earnings per share was $0.25 and $0.21 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
Total subscriber revenue increased by $4.3 million, or 15.8%, to $31.6
million in the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $27.3 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1997. This increase is attributable to increased
enrollment in the Company's managed care plans as well as the price increases
that took effect on the managed care and indemnity/PPO plans effective January
1, 1998. Managed care revenue increased by $2.3 million, or 10.8% to $23.6
million in the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $21.3 million in the same
period in 1997, primarily due to an increase in new members and price increases.
Indemnity/PPO revenue increased $1.8 million or 32.1%, to $7.4 million in 1998
from $5.6 million in 1997, primarily as a result of adding new indemnity/PPO
plan members and price increases.
Total gross margin increased by $1.1 million, or 11.7%, to $10.5 million in
the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $9.4 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1997. Total gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 33.1% in 1998
as compared to 34.5% in 1997. This percentage decline was primarily the result
of a decrease in the indemnity/PPO gross margin. In addition, the overall
indemnity/PPO business increased as a percentage of total revenue, but carries a
lower gross margin percentage than the managed care business. Managed care gross
margin as a percentage of managed care revenue was 37.4% in 1998 as compared to
37.2% in 1997. The indemnity/PPO gross margin as a percentage of indemnity/PPO
revenue decreased to 14.7% in 1998 from 19.2% in 1997. This change is the result
of an increase in dental benefit expenses primarily under the Company's
indemnity/PPO contracts. The Company expects the indemnity/PPO gross margin
percentage to remain fairly consistant with the current level throughout the
balance of 1998. The Company does not expect the indemnity/PPO gross margin
percentage to return to pre-1997 levels in 1998. In addition, overall gross
margin percentages will vary if the mix of the Company's indemnity/PPO and
managed care business changes from current levels.
SG&A expenses increased by $639,000, or 9.2%, to $7.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 from $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses dropped to 24.2% for 1998 from
25.7% for 1997. The change is primarily the result of economies of scale in
meeting the administrative needs of increased enrollment due to the relatively
fixed nature of certain SG&A expenses as well as higher revenues relative to the
SG&A expenses associated with the indemnity/PPO plans.
Operating income increased by $384,000, or 15.8%, to $2.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 from $2.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. As a percentage of revenue, operating income remained stable at 8.9%
in 1998 and 1997. The lower gross margin percentage was offset by thelower SG&A
as a percentage of revenue.
Interest income increased by $110,000 to $328,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 from $218,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 primarily as
a result of improved cash flow from operations.
11
<PAGE>
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 40.5%
versus 41.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to
investments in tax-free funds.
Net income increased by $307,000, or 19.7%, to $1.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. Diluted earnings per share was $0.50 and $0.42 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's operating cash requirements for the six months ended June 30,
1998 have been met principally through operating cash flows. The primary uses of
cash have been for the operating activities and capital investments in the
business. The Company believes that cash generated from operations will be
adequate to finance its anticipated operating needs for the foreseeable future.
Cash flows from operating activities were $3.6 million and ($1.1) million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The increase in
cash flows is partially the result of the timing difference in prepaid expenses
relating to capitation payments in the first quarter of 1997. The Company
primarily receives premium payments in advance of disbursing managed care
dentist capitation payments and indemnity claims payments. Cash balances in
excess of current needs are invested in interest-bearing accounts or cash
equivalents. Cash flows from operations consist primarily of subscriber premiums
and investment income net of capitation payments to network dentists, claims
paid, brokers' commissions, general and administrative expenses and income
taxes.
Cash used in investing activities was $2.4 million and $6.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The primary use in 1997
was a $5.5 million payment for Champion Dental Services, Inc. which closed
December 31, 1996, but funds were paid on January 2, 1997. In addition, the
first six months of 1998 and 1997 includes a net of $2.1 million and $517,000,
respectively, used to purchase short term investment grade securities
(securities which mature between 3 months and 12 months). Capital expenditures
were $336,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 primarily for computer
software enhancements and $413,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
for furniture, leasehold improvements, and computer equipment as the Company
expanded its leased office space.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.2
million as well as short term investments of $2.1 million and no long-term debt
outstanding.
Under applicable insurance laws of the states in which the Company conducts
business, the Company's subsidiaries operating in the particular state are
required to maintain a minimum level of net worth and reserves. The Company may
be required from time to time to invest funds in one or more of its subsidiaries
to meet regulatory requirements, or to expand its operations into new geographic
areas. In addition, applicable laws generally limit the ability of the Company's
subsidiaries to pay dividends to the extent that required regulatory capital or
surplus would be impaired.
Impact of Inflation
