AMERICAN HEALTHCHOICE, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization
American HealthChoice, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) consists of a
parent company and nine clinics, owned and operated by wholly-owned
subsidiaries, providing medical, physical therapy, and chiropractic services
in San Antonio, McAllen, and Houston, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from chiropractic,
physical therapy and medical services provided to individuals living in the
vicinity of the clinics.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information in footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to these rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which the Company
considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for
the interim periods covered and for the financial condition of the Company
at the date of the interim balance sheet. All such adjustments (except as
otherwise disclosed herein) are of a normal recurring nature.
The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. It
is suggested that the March 31, 2000 financial information be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB dated September 30, 1999.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation policy - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Net patient revenues - Revenue is recognized upon performance of services.
Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from patient
insurance settlements, claims filed on major medical policies, worker's
compensation policies, Medicare, and Medicaid. Allowances for discounts on
services provided are recognized in the periods the related revenue is
earned. Allowances are maintained at levels considered appropriate by
management based upon historical charge-off experience and other factors
deemed pertinent by management.
Property and equipment, net - Property and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets, primarily using the straight-line
method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease
term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
<PAGE>
Earnings per share - Basic earnings per share are computed using the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per
share are computed using the weighted-average common shares outstanding
after giving effect to potential common stock from stock options based on
the treasury stock method, plus other potentially dilutive securities
outstanding. If the result of assumed conversions is dilutive, net earnings
are adjusted for the interest expense on the convertible debt, while the
average shares of common stock outstanding are increased.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 1999, the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"). SAB No. 101
summarizes certain of the SEC's staff's views in applying generally accepted
accounting principles to revenue recognition in the financial statements.
We are presently evaluating the impact, if any, that SAB No. 101 will have
on reported results.
Year 2000 Compliance - The Company's computer systems and products
successfully transitioned to the Year 200 with no significant problems. The
Company will continue to monitor latent problems that could surface at key
dates in the future. It is not anticipated that there will be any
significant problems related to these dates or events. To date, the Company
has not incurred material losses associated with Year 2000 compliance or any
disruption with vendors or operations.
4. Reorganization
On October 19, 1999, American HealthChoice, Inc., the parent company, and
AHC Physicians Corporation, Inc., a subsidiary that owns the Georgia
clinics, filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petitions with the United States
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (Case No. 99-
37314). The Company elected to file the petitions for two primary reasons.
First, it was unable to restructure terms of the September 1997 and August
1998 Debenture Agreements, which would have allowed for new funding to
acquire profitable clinics. Second, in early October 1999, the Company
received an adverse ruling on a lawsuit. The Company filed a Disclosure
Statement and Plan of Reorganization on February 16, 2000. An important
provision of the Plan is the acquisition of three established clinics with
expected gross annual revenue of $5,000,000 and expected EBITDA of
approximately $1,500,000. The purchase price is approximately $6,000,000
with $900,000 in cash at closing and the remainder in a debenture, which
will be convertible into common stock if annual cash flow targets are
achieved over a three year period. In addition, the Plan allows the
debenture holders, who are owed $3,385,000 face amount, to convert their
debentures into a fixed amount of common stock. The acquisition and future
working capital requirements will be funded through an infusion of
approximately $1,500,000 in new capital. The debt conversion and the
acquisition of the clinics will increase the number of outstanding shares of
common stock to approximately 70 million. A hearing for Confirmation of the
Plan is scheduled for May 16, 2000.
The August 1998 Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $3,385,000
accrues interest at an 8% rate, which is payable in shares of common stock.
Since the proposed restructuring agreement provides for the issuance of a
fixed number of shares of common stock for the debenture obligation,
including interest, the Company ceased accruing additional interest expense
on October 19, 1999.
<PAGE>
5. Disposition of Clinics
On December 3, 1999 an order was entered by the Bankruptcy Court to return
the Conyers, Georgia clinic to the previous owner in settlement of a
lawsuit. In compliance with the order, the Company recorded an asset
writeoff of accounts receivable and equipment of $125,000, and un-amortized
goodwill of $130,000. In return, the previous owner agreed to cancellation
of a note payable in the amount of $290,000. As a result, the Company
recognized a gain on disposition of $35,000. On February 4, 2000, the
Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of the McDonough, Georgia clinic assets,
excluding accounts receivable, for a $67,500 cash payment. The sales price
approximates the book value of the clinic equipment.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and is qualified in its
entirety by the foregoing and by other more detailed financial information
appearing elsewhere.
Three Months Ended March 31,2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1999
Net Patient Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net
patient revenues decreased from $1,168,000 for the same period in 1999 to
$908,000 in 2000. Approximately $267,000 of the decrease was attributable
to net patient revenue for the sold Georgia clinics in the 1999 period. Net
patient revenue at the remaining clinics was unchanged in 2000 compared to
1999.
Compensation and Benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compensation and benefits decreased from $836,000 in 1999 to $571,000
in 2000. Approximately $222,000 of the decrease was attributable to
compensation and benefits for the Georgia clinics in the 1999 period. The
remainder of the decrease was due to fewer clinic employees and salary
reductions taken by clinic physicians and executive officers in 2000.
General and Administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 2000,
general and administrative decreased from $324,000 for fiscal year 1999 to
$187,000 in 2000. Approximately $98,000 of the decrease was attributable to
general and administrative expenses for the Georgia clinics in the 1999
period. The remainder is due to overall reductions at the clinics and
corporate office. The 2000 period includes approximately $25,000 in legal
fees related to bankruptcy matters.
Rent. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, rent decreased
$10,000 from $91,000 in 1999 to $81,000 in 2000. The decrease was primarily
due to rent for the Georgia clinics in the 1999 period.
<PAGE>
Six Months Ended March 31,2000 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 1999
Net Patient Revenues. For the six months ended March 31, 2000, net
patient revenues decreased from $2,699,000 for the same period in 1999 to
$1,922,000 in 2000. Approximately $757,000 of the decrease was attributable
to net patient revenue for the sold Georgia clinics in the 1999 period. Net
patient revenue at the remaining clinics was unchanged in 2000 compared to
1999.
Compensation and Benefits. For the six months ended March 31, 2000,
compensation and benefits decreased from $2,037,000 in 1999 to $1,212,000
in 2000. Approximately $719,000 of the decrease was attributable to
compensation and benefits for the Georgia clinics in the 1999 period. The
remainder of the decrease was due to fewer clinic employees and salary
reductions taken by clinic physicians and executive officers in 2000.
General and Administrative. For the six months ended March 31, 2000,
general and administrative decreased from $732,000 for fiscal year 1999 to
$441,000 in 2000. Approximately $271,000 of the decrease was attributable
to general and administrative expenses for the Georgia clinics in the 1999
period. The remainder is due to overall reductions at the clinics and
corporate office. The remainder is due to overall reductions at the clinics
and corporate office. The 2000 period includes approximately $60,000 in
legal fees related to bankruptcy matters.
Rent. For the six months ended March 31, 2000, rent decreased $88,000
from $248,000 in 1999 to $160,000 in 2000. The decrease was primarily due
to rent for the Georgia clinics in the 1999 period.
Through the closure of unprofitable clinics and an overall reduction in
operating expenses, the Company has achieved profitability for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to a loss of $567,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the six months ended March 31, 2000, net cash used in operating
activities was $54,000 compared to $450,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1999. The decrease of $400,000 is primarily attributable to net income
of $74,000 in 2000 compared to a $567,000 loss in the 1999 period.
During the last six months of fiscal year 1999, the Company was able to
reduce its monthly cash loss to approximately $40,000 and had identified
profitable acquisitions, which would have been funded by an equity infusion.
However, the Company was unable to restructure terms of the September 1997
and August 1998 debenture agreements, which would have allowed for new
funding under terms satisfactory to the Company and the prospective seller.
Also, in early October 1999, the Company received an adverse ruling on a
lawsuit. As a result of these two events, the Board of Directors elected on
October 19,1999 to file individual voluntary bankruptcy petitions under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code for American HealthChoice,
Inc., the parent company, and its subsidiary, AHC Physicians Corporation
Inc., the owner of the Georgia medical clinics. The Company filed a
Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization on February 16, 2000. The
Disclosure Statement was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court on
April 6, 2000. A hearing for Confirmation of the Plan is scheduled for May
16, 2000.
<PAGE>
Since the bankruptcy petition filing on October 19, 1999, the Company has
been operating under a cash receipts and disbursements budget approved by
the Bankruptcy Court. Cash receipts from collection of accounts receivable
should be sufficient to satisfy all financial obligations incurred through
the confirmation date. The Plan of Reorganization contemplates a capital
infusion of approximately $1,500,000 with $600,000 of the funding allocated
to working capital.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On October 19, 1999, American HealthChoice, Inc., the parent company, and
AHC Physicians Corporation, Inc., a subsidiary that owns the Georgia
clinics, filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petitions with the United States
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (Case No. 99-
37314).
The Company was served a complaint on December 7, 1999 alleging unspecified
damages arising from an alleged contract breach concerning the purchase of
the McAllen Texas clinic in 1996. Since all causes of action arose before
October 19, 1999 bankruptcy filing, the Company will assert the automatic
stay provision of the Bankruptcy Code. The case is filed in the 16th
District Court, of Denton County, Texas.
Any further actions in the legal proceedings disclosed in the 1999 Form 10-
KSB filed January 13, 2000, have been stayed by the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Petition filed by the Company on October 19, 1999.
