DENTAL PATIENT CARE AMERICA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Dental Patient Care America, Inc. (“we”, “us”,
“our”, “the Company” and “DPCA”) is incorporated
under the laws of the state of Utah. We are in the business of providing services to
dentists and the dental industry. Our business is conducted through three operating
subsidiaries, Dental Cooperative, Inc., U.S. DentistDirect, Inc., and Dental Practice
Transition, Inc.
Dental Cooperative, Inc., our oldest operating subsidiary, was
incorporated in Utah in 1998 for the purpose of organizing dentists into a cooperative
model of contractually networked dental practices, allowing member dentists to access a
variety of benefits from the cooperative structure. Such benefits include programs to
purchase supplies, laboratory and other operating services, insurance and employee
benefits programs, and opportunities for profit sharing through the cooperative model.
Various dental patient marketing programs are also provided, such as the organization
of its member dentists into a network, which offers dental care plans to employers and
other groups.
U.S. DentistDirect, Inc., another operating subsidiary, was incorporated
in Utah in 2004 to conduct a dental benefits plan business for the purposes of creating
another revenue generator for the Company and to generate patient flow for the Dental
Cooperative member dentists who participate as the provider panel for the U.S.
DentistDirect offerings. No revenues were generated by this company during
2006.
Dental Practice Transition, Inc., our third operating subsidiary, was
incorporated in December 2004. Through Dental Practice Transition, Inc. we have
developed and implemented during 2007 a new line of business that involves the funding
of the acquisition and operation of dental practices of retiring dentists or dentists
that are relocating and the subsequent financings of the new incoming dentist into the
ownership of the practice. We closed our initial dental practice acquisitions at the
beginning of 2007. We believe that this new line of business will enable us to
demonstrate the capability of the Dental Cooperative model to increase profitability at
dental practices with the intent to profitably finance the enhanced dental practices to
new dentists. To date, we have closed all of our dental practice acquisitions through
Dental Cooperative, Inc.

Interim Financial Statements
|
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures with required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. The
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
3.
|
Earnings/Loss Per Share
|
The computation of gain or loss per common share is based on the
weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding during the periods. The
Company had stock options outstanding to purchase 734,399 shares as of September 30,
2007 and warrants outstanding exercisable for 1,068,240 shares of common stock. To the
extent these option and warrants are dilutive, they have been included in the
calculation of these weighted averages used in the diluted earnings per share
computation.
4.
|
Stock Based Compensation
|
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement 123 (revised
2004) (Statement 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment,” which revises Statement
123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion
25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Statement 123(R) requires
us to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation
awards, including employee stock options.
6
Prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R), we accounted for stock-based
compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and has adopted
the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation”.
We have elected to use the modified prospective transition method as
permitted by Statement 123(R) and therefore have not restated our financial results for
prior periods. Under this transition method, we have applied the provisions of
Statement 123(R) to new awards granted, modified, repurchased, or cancelled after
January 1, 2006. Accordingly, since all of the Company’s stock-based awards
issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2007 are fully vested, we have recognized
the associated compensation costs associated with these transactions. Additionally, had
any of the stock-based awards not been vested, we would have recognized compensation
cost for the portion of the awards for which the requisite service had not been
rendered that were outstanding as of January 1, 2007, as the remaining service was
rendered.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. For the periods ended September 30, 2007
and 2006, the Company had negative cash flows from operating activities, recurring
operating losses, limited working capital, and negative equity. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of these uncertainties.
Management’s plans regarding its working capital deficit, cash
flows form operations and profitability include continued changes and improvements to
our products and services and expansion of our member population to attain profitable
operations.
Management is actively exploring both equity and debt financing
opportunities which would allow the Company to implement membership models management
believes will increase membership significantly.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its
efforts to operate profitability or to secure debt or equity financing.

Stock Options and Warrants
|
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board
(“FASB”) issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS
No. 123R”), a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), which requires companies to measure
all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such
expense in their financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective
January 1, 2006 and elected the modified-prospective transition method. Under the
modified-prospective transition method, awards that are granted, modified, repurchased
or cancelled after the date of adoption should be measured and accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 123R. Stock-based awards that are granted prior to the
effective date should continue to be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
except that stock option expense for unvested options must be recognized in the
statement of operations.
7
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had options outstanding to
purchase 264,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.
Because these particular options were fully vested prior to January 1, 2007, there is
no expense required to be recognized attributable to these options for the period ended
September 30, 2007.
During June of 2006, the Company authorized and issued options to its
member dentists to purchase 399,914 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal
to eighty percent (80%) of the average closing price of the Company’s stock for
the preceding 20 days prior to the date of exercise. During June 2007, the Company
authorized options exercisable for an additional 150,000 shares of common stock on the
same terms. The variability in the exercise price requires these options to be treated
as variable securities, and they will be revalued at the end of each reporting period.
As of September 30, 2007 all of these options are fully vested and can be exercised at
any time, therefore 100% of the option value was recognized as of September 30,
2007.
On March 8, 2007, the board of directors approved the Dental Patient
Care America, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). A total of
13,000,000 shares of common stock are allocated to the Plan. In addition, on March 8,
2007, the board of directors approved options exercisable for 12,559,791 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $.30 per share. The effectiveness of the Plan and
the grant of the options under the Plan are subject to shareholder approval. The
options provide that the options are void and may not be exercised until and unless the
shareholders of the Company approve the Plan and all grants that have occurred through
the date of Plan approval.
We have used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair
value of our stock-based awards, which requires various judgmental assumptions
including estimated stock price volatility, forfeiture rates, and expected life. Our
computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and
market-based implied volatility. Our calculation of the fair market value of each
option award on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, used
the following assumptions for the options granted during June of 2006:
|
Risk-free interest rate
|
4.26%
|
|
Expected life in years
|
3.72-4.71
|
|
Expected volatility
|
159.2%

On December 27, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Loan, Security
and Warrant Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Heartland Dental Care,
Inc. (“Heartland”). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, Heartland has
made loans to the Company in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) and
may make additional loans to the Company in the total aggregate principal amount of up
to seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000). Interest on the principal amount
outstanding is due on the first day of each calendar quarter and interest is payable at
the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The principal amount is due and payable in
full April 30, 2012. As collateral for the repayment of the loan, the Company granted
Heartland a security interest in substantially all of its assets. Receipt of the
additional loan proceeds is contingent upon the Company acquiring specified numbers of
dental practices.
As additional consideration for the loan, the Company issued a warrant
to Heartland that is exercisable for a number of shares of common stock equal to ten
percent (10%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, on a fully
diluted basis, on the date of exercise. An exercise price for the warrants is a fixed
price of twenty-five cents ($0.25), and the warrants expire on November 15, 2011. Until
and unless the principal amount of one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars
($1,250,000) is lent to the Company, the number of shares of common stock for which the
warrant can be exercised is reduced in proportion to the amount actually lent. For
example, the warrant is currently exercisable for 4.0% ((500,000/1,250,000) x 10%) of
the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis. The
Company has also agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the
warrant and common stock that is issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized, as
non-cash interest expense, the amount of $29,672. This amount represents the amortized
portion of the deferred debt issuing costs associated with the number of warrants
exercisable under the warrant agreement with Heartland, valued utilizing the
Black/Scholes model.
In September 2006, we borrowed $50,000 from Messrs. Byron Barkley
and Lyle Davis. One-half of the principal was due on November 15, 2006 and the
remaining amounts owed were paid in full on June 1, 2007.
As additional consideration for the loan, we agreed to issue to the
lenders on January 31, 2007, warrants exercisable for one hundred twenty five thousand
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share. The warrants will expire
on December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company
recognized, as non-cash interest expense, an aggregate amount of $29,786 representing
the pro-rata number of warrants obligated to be issued at January 31, 2007 from the
date of the note through December 31, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30,
2007, the Company recognized $7,714 as non-cash interest expense in connection with
such warrants.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation
The following discussion and analysis provides information which
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our condensed
consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, and notes thereto.
Overview
We earn revenue from our dental cooperative business through member fees
assessed to our members and through marketing fees for patient referral services. In
return, the Cooperative provides services to its members in the form of centralized
purchasing of dental supplies and lab services, HR benefits, marketing services for
patient flow and the opportunity to participate in profit sharing or bonus pools. Our
member dentists remain independent practitioners wholly responsible and liable for the
conduct and performance of their dental practices. Such member dentists are referred to
as Associate Member Dentists. Another original and important part of our business model
is to offer dental practice transition funding. Such funding is designed to finance the
transitional sale of successful dental practices from retiring dentists into the hands
of younger practitioners, and involves a membership fee sufficiently increased to pay
the membership fee and repay the financed amount. Through our exclusive referral
agreement with Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company, we were able to commence
such dental practice transition financing in early 2007. Members who enter into such
financing arrangements with the Cooperative are referred to as Affiliate Members. Such
affiliate member dentists enter into agreements with the Company to acquire their
dental practice over an agreed period of time and they agree to continue to manage the
practice over the same period. At the end of the agreed period the Company finances a
new dentist into the ownership and management of the dental practice.
Under our Dental Practice Transition business, we earn revenue by
retaining a percentage of the margin from dental practices that enter into affiliate
memberships. To date, in 2007 we have entered into five dental practice purchase
arrangements and one sale arrangement, as described below.

Financial Position
We had $181,410 in cash as of September 30, 2007. Our working capital as
of September 30, 2007 was $290,031, compared to a working capital deficit of $179,006
at December 31, 2006. Without respect to the improved working capital of the Company,
the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt. The
attached financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and
2006
Our dental practice member revenues (net of member incentives), referred
to as “cooperative revenues” were $86,571 and $229,066 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $65,320 and $238,820 for the
comparable periods from the prior year. Cooperative revenues consist of member fees and
marketing fees paid to the Company by member dentists as well as group purchasing
rebates received from vendors for purchases made by our members. The decrease in
cooperative revenues during the nine month periods resulted primarily from a reduction
in the fee structure to our cooperative members and a net decrease of approximately ten
percent in cooperative membership. The restructuring of our fee schedule was done in
anticipation of new membership models that the Company introduced in 2007. Our revenues
increased during the three month period.
Member incentives were $24,752 and $71,231 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $29,923 and $96,743 for the comparable periods
from the prior year. These amounts are accounted for as reductions of Cooperative
revenues. Member incentives are profit sharing distributions through Dental Cooperative
to recognize significant contributions to Dental Cooperative by certain members, based
largely on the growth in revenues of the member practices and the resulting fees to
Dental Cooperative. Member incentives are expected to increase and decrease with the
general growth or reduction in the number of member dentists, the growth or decline in
member revenues and the resulting growth or decline in management fee revenue to Dental
Cooperative. Member incentives are discretionary with the Board of Directors of Dental
Cooperative, and these funds can be redirected to pay operating expenses as
needed.
Our dental operation revenues (net of contractual and bad debt
write-offs of $54,862 and $197,337 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2007) were $267,178 and $864,298 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007
as compared to $0 for the comparable periods from the prior year. These 2007 revenues
includes consolidated financial information from of DPAT, which the Company acquired
during the first quarter of 2007 and sold in the third quarter of 2007, and Richard R.
Clegg DDS PC, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2007. The Company did not own
any dental practices during 2006.
Dental operations expenses were $261,149 and $827,598 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $0 for the comparable periods from
the prior year. These 2007 expenses related to expenses incurred in the operation of
the DPAT and Richard R. Clegg DDS PC practices, which practices were acquired by the
Company during 2007.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were
$238,726 and $687,538 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as
compared to $168,041 and $625,836 for the comparable periods from the prior year. The
increase in G&A expenses is primarily due to expenses associated with the
Company’s salary and benefit expenses.
Net other income was $368,848 and $302,157 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007 as compared to net other expense of $10,439 and $2,671 for the
comparable periods from the prior year. The change between the 2007 and 2006 periods is
primarily due to the gain recognized as a result of the assignment of DPAT offset by
increased interest expense relating to borrowed funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have financed our operations principally through private
placements of equity securities, debt financing, and revenues. We used net cash in
operating activities of $445,997 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as
compared to net cash used of $316,724 during the comparable period from the prior year.
We received net cash from investing activities of $425,485 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 as compared to $0 during the comparable period from the prior year.
We also received net cash from financing activities of $89,708 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, as compared to receiving $295,319 during the comparable
period from the prior year. As of September 30, 2007, our working capital was $290,031
and we had $181,410 of cash on hand.
As of September 30, 2007, we have current assets of $475,194 as compared
to $190,850 as of December 31, 2006. Our current liabilities of $185,163 at September
30, 2007 are lower than the balance of $369,856 at December 31, 2006. The increase in
our current assets and decrease in our current liabilities is primarily a result of the
acquisition and sale of DPAT and the acquisition of Richard R. Clegg DDS PC.
We choose to continue to distribute Dental Cooperative member incentives
during 2007, although we have not yet generated significant or sustained positive cash
flows from operating activities, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to
generate significant or sustained positive cash flows in future periods. If we are
unable to significant and sustained generate positive cash flows from operating
activities, we will be required to seek financing through additional related party
debt, including but not limited to salary waivers, or through the sale of debt or
equity securities to investors. There can be no assurance that such related party
financing or investor financing will be available to us if needed. We also may need to
reduce or eliminate member incentives in order to maintain the services of our service
providers through payment of their overdue bills.
On December 27, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a
Loan, Security and Warrant Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Heartland
Dental Care, Inc. (“Heartland”). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement,
Heartland made loans to the Company in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000) and may make additional loans to the Company in the total aggregate
principal amount of up seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000). Interest on the
principal amount outstanding is due on the first day of each calendar quarter and
interest is payable at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The principal amount is
due and payable in full April 30, 2012. As collateral for the repayment of the loan,
the Company granted Heartland a security interest in substantially all of its assets.
Receipt of the additional loan proceeds is contingent upon the Company acquiring
specified numbers of dental practices. There can be no assurance that any additional
loan proceeds will be received or sought by the Company and there can be no assurance
that the Company will have sufficient funds available to repay the amounts owing on the
loan.
As additional consideration for the loan, the Company issued a warrant
to Heartland that is exercisable for a number of shares of common stock equal to ten
percent (10%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, on a fully
diluted basis, on the date of exercise. Until and unless the principal amount of one
million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) is lent to the Company, the
number of shares of common stock for which the warrant can be exercised is reduced in
proportion to the amount actually lent. For example, the warrant is currently
exercisable for 4.0% ((500,000/1,250,000) x 10%) of the Company’s issued and
outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis. The Company has also agreed to file
a registration statement registering the resale of the warrant and common stock that is
issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
In addition, the Company executed a Benchmark Services Agreement with
Heartland whereby Heartland has agreed to provide benchmarking services to dental
practices who have received funding through Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company
in connection with an effective Affiliate Member Practice Purchase Agreement to which
the Company is a party (a “Covered Practice”). In consideration for such
services, Heartland will be paid an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate
collected revenues of the Covered Practices during each quarterly period that the
agreement is in effect. The agreement terminates on the earlier of the date there are
no Covered Practices or the five year anniversary of the agreement.
Finally, the Company and its directors entered into a Tag Along Rights
Agreement with Heartland whereby the directors granted Heartland tag along rights
should a director enter into an agreement to transfer shares held by such
director.

Except as described above and except for our operating payables,
we currently have no bank lines of credit or third party indebtedness. As our revenues
grow, we plan on seeking one or more bank lines of credit to assist with meeting
ongoing liquidity needs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure such
financing in the future.
On August 14, 2007 we borrowed $60,000 from a lender. On
September 12, 2007 we repaid the principal amount owing and issued 60,000 shares of
common stock as additional consideration for the loan.
Our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future will vary
based upon a number of factors, including, our timing in the implementation of our
business plan, our growth rate and the level of our revenues. We have no commitments to
fund any future capital expenditures. Our current assets, along with cash generated
from anticipated revenues, will not provide us with sufficient funding for the next
twelve months. We anticipate that we will need at least $200,000 in funding to execute
our business plan over the next twelve months and thereafter. We have contractual
arrangements in place with Heartland that we believe will provide us with the necessary
financing. Failure to raise the required capital could prevent us from achieving our
long-term business objectives and may result in substantially reducing or even
terminating operations.
As of November 15, 2007, we have outstanding stock options
that are exercisable for (i) 264,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$2.50 per share and (ii) 470,399 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to
eighty percent (80%) of the average closing price during the of the Company’s
common stock for the twenty (20) day period prior to exercise. Subject to shareholder
approval, we also intend to grant stock options exercisable for 12,559,791 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $.30 per share.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or
are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The policies discussed below are considered by us to be critical
to an understanding of our financial statements. The application of these policies
places significant demands on the judgment of our management and, when reporting
financial results, cause us to rely on estimates about the effects of matters that are
inherently uncertain. We describe specific risks related to these critical accounting
policies below. A summary of significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Regarding all of these policies, we
caution that future results rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates
routinely require adjustment. Our critical accounting policies include the
following:
|
•
|
Stock based compensation
|
|
Cooperative Revenue Recognition
|
We charge our member dentists membership fees, marketing fees for
referrals provided by us, and receive rebates from the suppliers for purchases of
dental equipment for its members. These revenues are recognized when payments are
received since that is the earliest date when these amounts are readily determinable,
and collection is reasonably assured. Amounts received prior to issuance of financial
statements but after period ending dates that are attributable to prior periods are
recorded as accounts receivable.
|
Practice Revenue Recognition
|
The Company’s dental practices charge fees to its patients for
dental services performed. Fees are established internally by the practices based upon
billing rates that are considered usual and customary among similarly situated dental
service providers. Revenue is recognized at the time and during the period in which
services are performed. Because a significant percentage of the Companies’
patients are insured or participate in managed care dental plans and programs, the
rates charged by the Company may not be fully realized or
19
collectible under the contractual payment terms of the managed care
programs and insurance plans of it’s patients. The Company therefore makes
adjustments to its periodic revenue based upon the estimated amounts due from the
patients and third-party payers in order that revenues may be fairly stated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Revenue adjustments are based
on analysis of historical collection rates from amounts due from patients and third
party payers, including managed care dental plans, commercial insurance companies and
employers.
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement 123 (revised
2004) (Statement 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment,” which revises Statement
123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion
25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Statement 123(R) requires
us to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation
awards, including employee stock options.
Prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R), we accounted for stock-based
compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and has adopted
the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation”.
We have elected to use the modified prospective transition method as
permitted by Statement 123(R) and therefore have not restated our financial results for
prior periods. Under this transition method, we have applied the provisions of
Statement 123(R) to new awards granted, modified, repurchased, or cancelled after
January 1, 2006. Accordingly, since all of the Company’s stock-based awards
issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2006 are fully vested, we have recognized the
associated compensation costs associated with these transactions. Additionally, had any
of the stock-based awards not been vested, we would have recognized compensation cost
for the portion of the awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered
that were outstanding as of January 1, 2006, as the remaining service was
rendered.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have not adopted any new accounting policies that would have a
material impact on our financial condition, changes in financial conditions or results
of operations.
Inflation
|
We do not expect the impact of inflation on our
operations to be significant.
