PART I
Item 1. Business
Introduction
The consolidated financial statements of UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc.
include the accounts of UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc. ("UCI"), its wholly owned
subsidiary, UCI Medical Affiliates of SC, Inc. ("UCI-SC") and Doctor's Care, PA
(the "P.A."), collectively the "Company". The financial statements of the P.A.
are consolidated with UCI because UCI-SC has unilateral control over the assets
and operations of the P.A. and, notwithstanding the lack of technical majority
ownership, consolidation of the P.A. with UCI is necessary to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of UCI. UCI-SC provides non-medical
management and administrative functions for 25 medical clinics, operating as
Doctor's Care (the "Centers"). All medical services at the Centers are provided
by or under the supervision of the P.A., which has contracted with UCI-SC to
provide the medical direction of the Centers. The medical directors operate the
Centers under the financial and operational control of UCI-SC. However, medical
supervision of the Centers is provided solely by the P.A. The P.A. remits to
UCI-SC all medical service revenues generated by the Centers, net of expenses
incurred by the P.A. This compensation is recorded in the accompanying financial
statements as revenue. Control of the P.A. is perpetual and other than temporary
because of the nature of this relationship and the management's agreements
between the entities. The net assets of the P.A. are not material for any period
presented and intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. For
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the Company has shown a substantial
increase in revenues and in medical centers under management. This growth is a
direct result of actions taken by management to increase marketing efforts, to
expand the state-wide network in South Carolina and to focus on the field of
occupational and industrial medicine.
General
UCI-SC provides nonmedical management and administrative services for
freestanding medical centers. The Company as of September 1995 owns a network of
medical centers consisting of 25 freestanding Centers located throughout South
Carolina.
In order to comply with prohibitions against corporations, other than
medical professional associations, providing medical care; all medical services
at the Centers are provided by or under the supervision of the P.A., a South
Carolina professional association.
The Centers are staffed by licensed physicians, other healthcare
providers and administrative support staff. The medical support staff includes
licensed nurses, certified medical assistants, laboratory technicians and x-ray
technicians.
The Centers typically are open for extended hours (weekends and
evenings) and out-patient care only. When hospitalization or specialty care is
needed, referrals to appropriate specialists are made.
The Company's Centers are broadly distributed throughout the state of
South Carolina. There are eleven primary care Centers in the Columbia region,
four in the Charleston region, four in the Myrtle Beach region and four in the
Greenville-Spartanburg region. In addition to these 23 Centers, the Company
operates a surgical practice and an orthopedic practice, both of which are
located in Columbia.
The Company's business, by its nature, is subject to various risks,
including, but not limited to, difficulties in controlling health care costs,
uncertainty of future expansion, availability of primary care physicians and
possible negative effects of government regulation.
-3-
The health care industry is subject to extensive federal and state
regulation. Changes in healthcare legislation or reinterpretations of existing
regulations could significantly affect the business of the Company.
Medical Services Provided at the Centers
The Company's Centers offer reasonably priced out-patient medical care,
without appointment, for treatment of acute and episodic medical problems. The
Centers provide a broad range of medical services which would generally be
classified as within the scope of family practice and occupational medicine. The
medical services are provided by licensed physicians, nurses and auxiliary
support personnel. The services provided at the Centers include, but are not
limited to the following:
(bullet) Routine care of general medical problems, including colds, flu,
ear infections, hypertension, asthma, pneumonia and other
conditions typically treated by primary care providers;
(bullet) Treatment of injuries, such as simple fractures, dislocations,
sprains, bruises and cuts;
(bullet) Minor surgery, including suturing of lacerations and removal of
cysts and foreign bodies;
(bullet) Diagnostic tests, such as x-rays, electrocardiograms, complete
blood counts, urinalysis and various cultures; and,
(bullet) Occupational and industrial medical services, including drug
testing, worker's compensation and physical examinations.
At any of the Centers, a patient with a life-threatening condition
would be evaluated by the physician, stabilized and immediately transferred to a
nearby hospital.
Patient Charges and Payments
The fees charged to a patient are determined by the nature of medical
services rendered. Management of the Company believes that the charges at its
Centers are significantly lower than the charges of hospital emergency
departments and are generally competitive with the charges of local physicians
and other providers in the area.
The Company's Centers accept payment from a wide range of sources.
These include patient payments at time of service (by cash, check or credit
card), patient billing and assignment of insurance benefits (including Blue
Cross/Blue Shield, Medicare, Worker's Compensation and other private insurance).
Private pay billings represent the most significant source of revenues. The
Company also provides services for members of three of the largest health
maintenance organizations ("HMOs") operating in South Carolina - Companion
HealthCare Corporation, HealthSource South Carolina, Inc., and Maxicare South
Carolina (a division of Maxicare Southeast Health Plan, Inc.).
Medical services traditionally have been provided on a fee-for-service
basis with insurance companies assuming responsibility for paying all or a
portion of such fees. The increase in medical costs under traditional indemnity
health care plans has been caused by a number of factors. These factors include:
(i) the lack of incentives on the part of health care providers to deliver
cost-effective medical care; (ii) the absence of controls over the utilization
of costly specialty care physicians and hospitals; (iii) a growing and aging
population which requires increased health care expenditures; and (iv) the
expense involved with the introduction and use of advanced pharmaceuticals and
medical technology.
As a result of escalating health care costs, employers, insurers and
governmental entities all sought cost-effective approaches to the delivery of
and payment for quality health care services. HMOs and other managed health care
organizations have emerged as integral components in this effort. HMOs enroll
-4-
members by entering into contracts with employer groups or directly with
individuals to provide a broad range of health care services for a capitation
payment, with minimal or no deductibles or co-payments required of the members.
HMOs, in turn, contract with health care providers like the Company to
administer medical care to HMO members. These contracts provide for payment to
the Company on either a discounted fee-for-service or through capitation
payments based on the number of members covered, regardless of the amount of
necessary medical care required within the covered benefit period.
Certain third party payors are studying various alternatives for
reducing medical costs, some of which, if implemented, could affect
reimbursement levels to the Company. The Company cannot predict whether changes
in present reimbursement methods or proposed future modifications in
reimbursement methods will affect payments for services provided by the Centers
and, if so, whether they will have an adverse impact upon the business of the
Company.
Competition and Marketing
All of the Company's Centers face competition, in varying degrees, from
hospital emergency rooms, private doctor's offices and other competing
freestanding medical centers. Some of these providers have financial resources
which are greater than those of the Company. In addition, traditional sources of
medical services, such as hospital emergency rooms and private physicians, have
had, in the past, a higher degree of recognition and acceptance by patients than
Centers such as those operated by the Company. The Company's Centers compete on
the basis of accessibility, including evening and weekend hours, a
no-appointment policy, the attractiveness of its state-wide network to large
employers and third party payors, and on a basis of a competitive fee schedule.
In an effort to offset the competition's community recognition, the Company has
substantially increased its marketing efforts. Regional marketing
representatives have been added, focused promotional material has been developed
and a newsletter for employers promoting the Company's activities has been
initiated.
Government Regulation
South Carolina prohibits the corporate practice of medicine. By virtue
of its relationship with the P.A., the Company believes that it is in full
compliance with this law.
The health care industry is highly regulated, and there can be no
assurance that the regulatory environment in which the Company operates will not
change significantly in the future. Generally, regulation of health care
companies is increasing.
Various proposals affecting federal and state regulation of the health
care industry, including limitations on Medicare and Medicaid payments, have
been introduced in the past, including provisions in legislation currently
pending.
Employees
As of September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company had 301 and 202 employees,
respectively (270 and 170 , respectively, on a full-time equivalent basis).
Item 2. Properties
All but one of the Company's primary care Centers are leased. The
properties are generally located on well-traveled major highways, with easy
access. Each property offers free, off-street parking immediately adjacent to
the center. Four (4) Centers are leased from entities affiliated with the
Company's Chairman and one (1) center is leased directly from the Chairman.
Seven (7) Centers are leased from Companion HealthCare Corporation, a principal
shareholder of the Company. See additional information regarding these leases at
Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
-5-
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is party to various claims, legal activities and complaints
arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management and legal
counsel, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is
party.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information which the
Company believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's
consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to
Year Ended September 30, 1994
For fiscal year 1995, revenues of $17,987,000 reflect an increase of
43% from the amount reported for fiscal year 1994. The following reflects
revenue trends from fiscal year 1991 through fiscal year 1995:
For the year ended September 30, (in thousands)
1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
Revenues $17,987 $12,540 $9,799 $8,330 $8,542
Operating Costs 18,180 11,881 9,133 8,004 8,232
Operating Margin (193) 660 666 326 310
The increase in revenue for fiscal year 1995 is attributable to a
number of factors. The Company engaged in a significant expansion, increasing
the number of primary care medical Centers from 19 to 25. The expansion included
the addition of two Centers each to the clusters in Columbia (bringing the total
to eleven plus two specialty practices in this region), Greenville (bringing the
total to four in this region) and Myrtle Beach (bringing the total to four in
this region).
The Company, in fiscal year 1995, increased its services provided to
members of HMOs. In these arrangements, the Company, through Doctor's Care,
P.A., acts as the designated primary caregiver for members of the HMO who have
selected Doctor's Care as their primary care provider. In fiscal year 1994, the
Company began participating in an HMO operated by Companion HealthCare
Corporation ("Companion"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield
of South Carolina. With its arrangement with Companion, the Company now
participates in three HMOs and is the primary care "gatekeeper" for more than
11,000 capitated lives. While HMOs do not, at this time, have a significant
penetration into the South Carolina market, the Company believes that HMOs and
other managed care plans will experience a substantial increase in market share
in the next few years, and the Company is therefore positioning itself for this
possibility.
Increased revenues in fiscal year 1995 also reflect the Company's
heightened focus on occupational medicine and industrial health services.
Focused marketing materials, including quarterly newsletters for employers, were
developed to spotlight the Company's services for industry. The Company also
entered into an agreement with Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company
wherein the Company acts as the primary care provider for injured workers of
firms insured through Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company.
Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company is wholly owned by Blue Cross
Blue Shield of South Carolina and is therefore affiliated with Companion
HealthCare Corporation, a primary shareholder of the Company. See additional
related information at Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions."
Patient encounters increased to 283,000 in fiscal 1995 from 216,000 in
fiscal 1994.
Even with the positive effects of the factors mentioned above, revenues
were short of goals for the year, due in part to the increased competition from
hospitals and other providers in Greenville, Sumter and Myrtle Beach and to
certain short-term disruptions related to the practices acquired during the
year.
-9-
Operating losses of $193,000 were realized in fiscal 1995 as compared
to an operating margin of $660,000 in fiscal 1994. This is due, in part, to
start-up costs being incurred at the six Centers added in fiscal 1995. Operating
costs of $18,180,000 for fiscal 1995 exceeded management's budgets primarily in
the areas of personnel costs and medical supplies. Management has aggressively
addressed these areas, implementing significant cost cutting measures during the
latter part of the third quarter. These include very substantial and across the
board reductions in personnel costs, severe reductions in overtime and
aggressive negotiations with vendors to obtain more substantial discounts on
medical supplies.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $579,000 in fiscal
1995, up from $320,000 in fiscal 1994. This increase reflects higher
depreciation expense as a result of significant leasehold improvements and
equipment upgrades at a number of the Company's medical centers, as well as an
increase in amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired from
the Company's purchase of existing practices in Surfside Beach, Columbia, and
Myrtle Beach. Interest expense increased from $164,000 in fiscal 1994 to
$505,000 in fiscal 1995 primarily as a result of the interest costs associated
with the indebtedness incurred in the Company's purchase of the Surfside Beach
Center and in the leasehold improvements.
In the latter part of fiscal year 1994, the Company converted to a
centralized computer system acquired from Companion Technologies. Companion
Technologies is wholly owned by Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina and is
therefore affiliated with Companion HealthCare Corporation, a primary
shareholder of the Company. See additional related information at Item 13,
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." This conversion was
necessitated by the Company's expansion, the need for a centralized, specialized
billings and collections unit, and by the Company's recognition that increased
managed care participation required more exacting data. With billing done from a
centralized location rather than from each medical center, the Company believes
that both increased billing efficiency, and greater focus on collections, will
result. The new computer system will also cause a reduction in computer-related
expansion costs should the Company add additional Centers. In making this
conversion, the Company traded in its old computer equipment, giving rise to a
loss of approximately $69,000 in fiscal 1994.
Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109") which requires the
use of an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. The
effect of adopting SFAS 109 was to reduce income tax expense for 1994 by
approximately $612,000 or $.26 per share. Financial statements presented for
1993 and prior years reflected income taxes recorded under the deferred method
previously required by previous accounting standards. As part of the adoption of
SFAS 109, the Company has recognized a deferred tax asset relating to net
operating loss carry forwards which are available to offset future taxable
income. Under certain circumstances, a significant change in the Company's
ownership could severely limit utilization of the Company's net operating loss
carry forwards.
Financial Condition at September 30, 1995
The Company grew significantly during the year ending September 30,
1995.
Cash and cash equivalents have decreased from $210,000 at September 30,
1994 to $77,000 at September 30, 1995. Cash was utilized mainly for working
capital needs and to fund the expansion previously discussed.
Accounts receivables increased notably from fiscal year 1994. This was
attributable to the opening of six additional primary care Centers and the
overall growth in patient visits to existing Centers.
The increase in property and equipment is attributable to the purchase
of the Donaldson Center, the equipment needs of new Centers and the up-grading
of equipment at established Centers. The excess of cost over the net assets of
acquired businesses (goodwill) totaled $3,578,000 at September 30, 1995 compared
to $2,651,000 at the end of the previous fiscal year and reflects the medical
practices acquired.
-10-
The current portion of debt increased in fiscal year 1995 to $1,245,000
from $543,000 at the end of fiscal year 1994. Long-term debt also increased.
These increases are primarily the result of indebtedness incurred in the
purchases of the Donaldson Center, in the purchase of Summit Medical, and in the
utilization of an operating line of credit.
Accounts payable increased $1,186,000 during 1995 to $1,653,000 as a
result of the tight cash position of the Company and as a result of the
accelerated growth of the Company during this period. Overall, the Company's
current liabilities exceeded its current assets at September 30, 1995 by
$383,000; working capital needs were funded, in part, by the sale of stock to
Companion HealthCare (a private placement) for $600,000 on November 3, 1995 (see
Subsequent Events section below.)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company requires capital principally to fund growth (acquire new
Centers), for working capital needs and for the retirement of indebtedness. The
Company's capital requirements and working capital needs have been funded
through a combination of external financing (including bank debt and proceeds
from the sale of common stock to Companion HealthCare Corporation), internally
generated funds and credit extended by suppliers.
Operating activities used $460,000 of cash during fiscal year 1995,
compared with $744,000 used during fiscal year 1994. The decrease in operating
cash used during fiscal 1995 is mainly the result of growth in accounts payable
and accrued expenses. Some of these payables were reduced via utilization of the
$600,000 from the November 3, 1995 common stock sale to Companion HealthCare
(see Subsequent Events section below).
Investing activities used $642,000 of cash during fiscal year 1995
compared with $120,000 in 1994 as a result of expansion efforts. Continued
growth is anticipated during 1996. (See "Subsequent Events" for acquisition
activity in the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.)
The Company received $1,240,000 during fiscal 1995 in cash resulting
from two private placements of stock with Companion HealthCare Corporation which
was used in part to manage the Company's rapid growth and in part to reduce
debt. Should additional needs arise, the Company may consider additional capital
sources to obtain funding. There is no assurance that any additional financing,
if required, will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
Earnings and Balance Sheet Analysis for Fiscal Year 1994 Compared to 1993
Total revenues for fiscal year 1994 increased by 28% to $12,540,000
from $9,799,000 for fiscal year 1993. The Company expanded from 14 to 19 Centers
during this year and was able to hold gross profit margin at about $660,000 for
both years. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" was adopted at the start of fiscal 1994 with the result of
reducing income tax expense for 1994 by approximately $612,000.
Subsequent Events
In January 1995, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement for
a medical practice in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The acquisition is expected
to become effective prior to December 31, 1995, after certain conditions
precedent occur.
On November 3, 1995, Companion purchased 218,180 shares of newly issued
common stock of the Company for $2.75 a share, or $599,995. Subsequent to the
transaction, Companion's ownership in the Company was approximately 45%.
Companion has the option to purchase as many shares as may be necessary for
Companion to maintain ownership of 47% of the outstanding common stock of the
Company in the event that the Company issues additional stock to other parties
(excluding shares issued to employees or directors of the Company).
-11-
On December 1, 1995, the Company acquired a medical practice in

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Reference is made to the Index to Financial Statements on Page 20 .
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure
On July 27, 1995, the Company notified Scott and Holloway, LLP
(formerly Moore Kirkland Scott & Beauston) that it would not be retained as the
Company's independent accountants for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995.
The Company's decision not to retain Scott and Holloway, LLP was approved by the
Board of Directors at a meeting held on July 26, 1995 and was not the result of
any prior, existing or expected disagreement with the Company. The reports of
Moore Kirkland Scott & Beauston on the financial statements of the Company for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 contained no adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion. The reports were modified because of an uncertainty as
to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as a consequence of
losses incurred from continuing operations. This modification has been
subsequently rescended and an unqualified opinion for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993 has been issued. In connection with its audits of
financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30,
1994 and 1993, and the interim period through July 27, 1995, the Company had no
disagreement with Moore Kirkland Scott & Beauston on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Moore
Kirkland Scott & Beauston, would have caused them to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the
financial statements for such periods.
Scott and Holloway, LLP has furnished the Company with a letter
addressed to the SEC stating that they agree with the statements made by the
Company with respect to their dismissal.
On July 26, 1995, the Company engaged Price Waterhouse LLP as its
independent accountants to audit the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 1995. The decision to engage Price Waterhouse
LLP was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting held on
July 26, 1995. During the Company's fiscal years ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, the Company did not consult with Price Waterhouse LLP regarding any
matters (a) which were, or should have been, subject to SAS 50, or (b)
concerning the subject matter of a disagreement or reportable event with the
Company's former independent accountants (as described in Regulation S-B, Item
304(a)(2)).
Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant
Directors
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for a
classified Board of Directors so that, as nearly possible, one-third of the
Company's Board of Directors is elected each year to serve a three-year term.
Currently, the Board of Directors consists of five directorships with staggered
terms expiring at the Annual Meetings of Shareholders in 1996, 1997 and 1998.
The Company's Bylaws provide the Board of Directors with the power and authority
to determine the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors on July 26, 1995, the Board of Directors
voted to increase the size of the Board from three members to the current five
members, with such increase to be effective immediately prior to the election of
directors at the Annual Meeting, which was held September 13, 1995. To give
effect to such increase, the Board of Directors approved the addition of one
directorship to each of the classes of directors whose terms expire at the
Annual Meetings of Shareholders

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Agreements with Doctor's Care
General. All of the Company's operations are conducted through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, UCI-SC, which operates a network of twenty-five
freestanding primary care medical Centers located throughout South Carolina, all
of which conduct business under the name "Doctor's Care." In order to comply
with prohibitions of providing medical care, all medical services at these
medical facilities are provided by or under the supervision of Doctor's Care,
P.A., a South Carolina professional association (the "P.A.").
Facilities Agreement. Pursuant to a Facilities Agreement between UCI-SC
and the P.A. (the "Facilities Agreement"), UCI-SC supplies to the P.A. the
facilities, equipment and assets of the Centers, as well as such non-medical
personnel as are reasonably required by the P.A. in the operation of the
Centers. In exchange, the P.A. provides the necessary staffing for the
performance of medical services at the Centers, including a physician to serve
as Executive Medical Director having overall responsibility for the operations
of the Centers. Pursuant to an employment agreement between M.F. McFarland, III,
M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company ("Dr. McFarland") and
the P.A., Dr. McFarland serves as Executive Medical Director of the Centers. In
September 1994, the Facilities Agreement was renewed for an additional five year
term. In January 1995, the Facilities Agreement was modified to provide UCI-SC
with certain rights to terminate the Facilities Agreement (a) upon the death of
Dr. McFarland, (b) upon Dr. McFarland ceasing to own, either directly or
indirectly, a controlling interest in the P.A., or (c) upon Dr. McFarland
becoming a "disqualified person" as defined by the South Carolina Business
Corporation Act of 1988, as amended.
Refund Agreement. Pursuant to a Facilities Fee Refund Agreement (the
"Refund Agreement"), entered into among UCI-SC and the P.A., the P.A. was
entitled to receive a refund of a portion of the fees payable to UCI-SC under
the Facilities Agreement with respect to certain Centers. This agreement was
terminated effective October 1, 1995. During the year ended September 30, 1995,
UCI-SC accrued total refunds payable to the P.A. under the Refund Agreement of
$177,000 and made payments of $200,000 against accumulated payables. During the
year ended September 30, 1994, UCI-SC accrued total refunds payable to the P.A.
under the Refund Agreement of $131,000 and made payments of $213,500 against
accumulated payables. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, UCI-SC had a refund
payable to the P.A. of approximately $276,000 and $299,000, respectively.
Facility Leases
UCI-SC leases seven Centers from Companion HealthCare Corporation under
operating leases with fifteen year terms expiring in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Each
of these leases has a five year renewal option, and a rent guarantee by the P.A.
One of the leases has a purchase option allowing UCI-SC to purchase the facility
at fair market value after February 1, 1995. Total lease payments made by UCI-SC
under these leases during the Company's fiscal years ended September 30, 1995,
1994 and 1993 were $271,100, $205,901 and zero, respectively.
Several of the Centers operated by UCI-SC are leased from entities owned or
controlled by certain principal shareholders and/or members of the Company's
management. The Doctor's Care-Northeast Center is leased from a partnership in
which Dr. McFarland is a general partner. The lease was renewed in October 1994
for a five year term. The lease has two five year renewal options and provides
UCI-SC with an option to purchase the facility at its fair market value after
October 1995. Total lease payments made by UCI-SC under the lease during the
Company's fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $45,600,
$42,696 and $39,554, respectively, plus utilities and real estate taxes. During
the year ended September 30, 1995, the Doctor's Care-Lexington and the Doctor's
Care-Forest Acres Centers were leased from a general partnership in which Dr.
McFarland and Dr. Stout are general partners. The Doctor's Care-Lexington lease
was renewed in October 1994 for a five year term. In August 1995, the Doctor's
Care-
-17-
Forest Acres facility was sold to an unrelated third
party who leases it to the Company. The Doctor's Care-Lexington lease has a five
year renewal option and provides UCI-SC with an option to purchase the property
at its fair market value at any time during the lease term. Total lease payments
made by UCI-SC under these two leases during the Company's fiscal years ended
September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $90,000, $75,166 and $78,012,
respectively, plus utilities and real estate taxes. The Doctor's Care-West
Columbia and the Doctor's Care-Beltline Centers are leased from a general
partnership in which Dr. McFarland and Dr. Stout are general partners. These two
leases expire in October 1998 and provide for a five year renewal option. Total
lease payments made by UCI-SC under these two leases during the Company's fiscal
years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $84,000, $87,000 and $78,000,
respectively, plus utilities and real estate taxes. In connection with its
agreement to lease these two Centers, UCI-SC guaranteed the lessor's mortgage
debt relating to the two Centers. At September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
outstanding balance of such debt was $382,697, $386,110 and $395,000,
respectively. The Doctor's Care-West Wateree Center is leased directly from Dr.
McFarland. Total lease payments made by UCI-SC under this lease during the
Company's fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, were $24,666,
$23,333 and $21,522, respectively.
Other Transactions with Related Companies
Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina ("Blue Cross") owns 100% of
Companion HealthCare Corporation, which owns approximately 45% of the Company's
outstanding common stock. During the Company's fiscal year ended September 30,
1994, UCI-SC purchased a new billing and accounts receivable system from
Companion Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Cross for an
aggregate purchase price of $504,000. The terms of the purchase agreement are
believed to have been no more or less favorable to UCI-SC than the terms that
would have been obtainable through arm's-length negotiations with unrelated
third parties for a similar billing and accounts receivable system, which
includes computer equipment. The Company has the option to purchase the
equipment at the end of the five year lease term for $1. The lease obligation
recorded at September 30, 1995 is $464,361 which includes lease addenda.
During the Company's fiscal year ended September 30, 1994, UCI-SC
entered into an agreement with Company Property and Casualty Insurance Company,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Cross, pursuant to which UCI-SC acts as the
primary care provider for injured workers of firms carrying worker's
compensation insurance through Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company
("CP&C"). Additionally, during the Company's fiscal year ended September 30,
1995, UCI-SC entered into a financing arrangement with CP&C for the purchase of
the Doctor's Care-Donaldson facility, which consists of a note payable in
monthly installments of $4,546 (including 11% interest) from April 1, 1995 to
March 1, 2010, collateralized by certain accounts receivable. The terms of the
agreement with Companion Property and Casualty Insurance Company are believed to
be no more or less favorable to UCI-SC than those that would have been
obtainable through arm's-length negotiations with unrelated third parties for
similar arrangements.
During the Company's fiscal year ended September 30, 1994, UCI-SC began
providing services for a health maintenance organization ("HMO") operated by
Companion HealthCare Corporation, pursuant to which UCI-SC, through the P.A.,
acts as the designated primary care provider for members of the HMO who have
selected the P.A. as their primary care provider. The terms of the agreement
with Companion HealthCare Corporation are believed to be no more or less
favorable to UCI-SC than those that would have been obtainable through arm's
- -length negotiations with unrelated third parties for similar arrangements.
The employees of the Company are offered health, life, dental and
disability coverage at group rates from Blue Cross and its subsidiaries. The
group rates offered to the employees of the Company are believed to be no more
or less favorable to the Company than those that would have been obtainable
through arm's-length negotiations with unrelated third parties for similar
services.

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc. at September 30, 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. The financial statements of
UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc. at September 30, 1994 and for each of the two years
in the period then ended were audited by other independent accountants whose
report dated January 26, 1995 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements with an explanatory paragraph that the Company prospectively changed
its method of accounting for income taxes for the year ended September 30, 1994.
This change is described in Notes 1 and 4 to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc.
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 1995
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc. include
the accounts of UCI Medical Affiliates, Inc. ("UCI"), its wholly owned
subsidiary, UCI Medical Affiliates of SC ("UCI-SC") and Doctor's Care, PA ("the
P.A."), collectively the "Company". The financial statements of the P.A. are
consolidated with UCI because UCI-SC has unilateral control over the assets and
operations of the P.A. and, notwithstanding the lack of technical majority
ownership, consolidation of the P.A. with UCI is necessary to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of UCI. UCI-SC provides non-medical
management and administrative functions for 25 medical clinics, operating as
Doctor's Care (the "Centers"). All medical services at the Centers are provided
by or under the supervision of the P.A., which has contracted with UCI-SC to
provide the medical direction of the Centers. The medical directors operate the
Centers under the financial and operational control of UCI-SC. However, medical
supervision of the centers is provided solely by the P.A. The P.A. remits to
UCI-SC all medical service revenues generated by the Centers, net of expenses
incurred by the P.A. This compensation is recorded in the accompanying financial
statements as revenue. Control of the P.A. is perpetual and other than temporary
because of the nature of this relationship and the management agreements between
the entities. The net assets of the P.A. are not material for any period
presented and intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Medical Supplies Inventory
The inventory of medical supplies and drugs is carried at the lower of average
cost or market.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation is provided principally by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to twenty years.
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense. Major renewals
or betterments, which prolong the life of the assets, are capitalized.
-28-
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Upon disposal of depreciable property, the asset accounts are reduced by the
related cost and accumulated depreciation. The resulting gains and losses are
reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Intangible Assets
The excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired (goodwill) is amortized on
the straight-line method over periods from 15 to 30 years. Subsequent to an
acquisition, the Company continually evaluates whether later events and
circumstances have occurred that indicate that the remaining balance of goodwill
may not be recoverable or that the remaining useful life may warrant revision.
When external factors indicate that goodwill should be evaluated for possible
impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related business segment's
discounted cash flows over the remaining life of the goodwill and compares it to
the business segment's goodwill balance to determine whether the goodwill is
recoverable or if impairment exists, in which case an adjustment is made to the
carrying value of the asset.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at estimated net amounts to be received from employers,
third party payors, and others at the time the related services are rendered.
Capitation payments from payors are paid monthly and are recognized as revenue
during the period in which enrollees are entitled to receive services.
Earnings Per Share
The computation of income per common and common equivalent share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus (in
periods in which they have a dilutive effect) the effect of common shares
issuable from stock options, using the treasury stock method.
Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), as of October 1,
1993. Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are based on the difference between the financial statement and tax
bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which are
anticipated to be in effect when these differences reverse. The deferred tax
(benefit) provision is the result of the net change in the deferred tax assets
to amounts expected to be realized. Financial statements for the year ended
September 30,1993 reflect income taxes recorded under the deferred method
required under previous accounting standards.
-29-
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or
less at acquisition date to be cash equivalents.
Reclassifications
Certain 1994 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1995
presentation.
2. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of the following at September 30:
1995 1994
----------------------- -----------------------
Leasehold improvements $ 382,659 $ 158,854
Property and equipment, including capitalized leases 3,942,724 2,113,123

Less, accumulated depreciation and amortization (1,529,999) (1,173,667)
----------------------- -----------------------
$ 2,795,384 $ 1,098,310
======================= =======================
At September 30, 1995 and 1994, capitalized leased equipment included above
amounted to approximately $1,651,000 and $647,000, net of accumulated
amortization of $203,000 and $18,000, respectively. Depreciation and
amortization expense equalled $384,638, $196,756 and $114,949 for the years
ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
3. Business Combinations
In August 1995, the Company acquired the net assets of Summit Medical and
entered into an employment agreement with the physician owner of Summit Medical.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and the financial activity
of Summit Medical has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements since the date of the acquisition.

3. Business Combinations (continued)
The pro forma results listed below are unaudited and reflect purchase price
accounting adjustments assuming the acquisition occurred at the beginning of
each fiscal year presented.
1995 1994
------------------ --------------
Revenue $ 18,393,000 $ 13,082,000
Net Income (loss) $ (1,358,624) $ 645,875
Net income (loss) per common and common
equivalent share $ (.43) $ .28
Certain other acquisition during fiscal year 1995 have not been included in this
pro forma disclosure as the relevant information is not readily available.
(Refer to note 12 for additional information provided on these acquisitions.)
4. Income Taxes
Effective October 1, 1993, the Company prospectively adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). As permitted under SFAS 109, prior years' financial
statements have not been restated. As of October 1, 1993, the Company had a net
deferred tax asset of $2,718,407, which was fully offset by a valuation
allowance.
The components of the (benefit) provision for income taxes for the years ended
September 30 are as follows:
1995 1994 1993

4. Income Taxes (continued)
Deferred taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of certain
items of income and expense, and the changes in the valuation allowance
attributable to deferred tax assets.
The principal sources of temporary differences and the related deferred tax
effects as of September 30, were as follows:
1995 1994
------------- ------------
Allowance for doubtful accounts $ (169,043) $ (155,852)

4. Income Taxes (continued)
The principal reasons for the differences between the consolidated income tax
benefit (expense) and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal
income tax rate of 34% were as follows for the years ended September 30:
1995 1994 1993

Under certain circumstances, a significant change in the Company's ownership
could severely limit utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards.
The Company has $7,800 and $8,450 of investment tax credit carryforwards which
expire in 1999 and 2000, respectively.

6. Employee Benefit Plans
Pursuant to the Company's incentive stock option plan adopted in 1994, (the
"1994 Plan"), "incentive stock options", within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code, may be granted to employees of the Company. The 1994
Plan provides for the granting of options for the purchase of 750,000 shares at
100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Options granted
under the 1994 Plan vest at a rate of 33% in each of the three years following
the grant. Vested options become exercisable one year after the date of grant
and can be exercised within ten years of the date of grant, subject to earlier
termination upon cessation of employment. During the year ending September 30,
1995, no options were exercised. At September 30, 1995, there were stock options
outstanding under the 1994 plan for 242,000 shares, all of which were granted in
the year ended September 30,1995.
The incentive stock option plan adopted in 1984 (the "1984 Plan") expired under
its terms in December 1993. During the year ending September 30, 1995, no
options were exercised and 5,100 options expired. At September 30, 1995, there
were stock options outstanding under the 1984 Plan for 15,500 shares at $.25 per
share, all of which were exercisable.
The Company has an employee savings plan ( the "Savings Plan") that qualifies as
a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under the Savings Plan, participating employees may defer a portion of their
