The management of HMS Holdings Corp. (Holdings or the Company) is responsible for the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and the related information included in the notes to the financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
The Company is managed and operated as one business, with a single management team that reports to the chief executive officer. The Company does not operate separate lines of business with respect to any of its product lines. Accordingly, the Company does not prepare discrete financial information with respect to separate product lines or by location and does not have separately reportable segments.
These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Recent Accounting Pronouncement |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with the exception of the application of the statement to the determination of fair value of nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed on a nonrecurring basis, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at

(unaudited)
fair value. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
At March 31, 2008, our interest rate derivative contract (see note 8) is being carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (SFAS 159) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. We have adopted SFAS 159 and have elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 141(R) may have on our financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

Use of Estimates |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. The actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are calculated based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock. Management monitors share option exercise and employee termination patterns to estimate forfeiture rates within the valuation model. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected holding period of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the interest rate of a 5-year U.S. Treasury note in effect on the date of the grant. The fair value of options granted was $10.54 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. There were 4,000 options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 2008, there was approximately $8.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. No compensation cost related to stock options was capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Income Taxes |
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns with the US federal government and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005. The Company operates in a number of state and local jurisdictions, substantially all of which have never audited the Company. Accordingly, the Company is subject to state and local income tax examinations based upon the various statutes of limitations in each jurisdiction.
At March 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $0.5 million of tax positions for which there is uncertainty about the allocation and apportionment of state tax deductions. If recognized, all of this balance would impact the effective tax rate; however the Company does not expect any significant change in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. At March 31, 2008, the Company had accrued liabilities related to uncertain tax provisions of approximately $72,000.
The Companys tax provision in 2008 is principally a deferred provision as federal income taxes payable have been offset by the benefit of disqualifying dispositions recognized in additional paid in capital during the current year. Additionally, the amortization of intangible assets has reduced current taxable income. The principal difference between the statutory rate and the Companys effective rate is state taxes.
At March 31, 2008, the Company had a valuation allowance of $2.7 million. The sale of the Companys Accordis Inc. (Accordis) subsidiary in 2005 resulted in a capital loss of $6.0 million, which can be carried forward for five years and produced a deferred tax asset of $2.5 million. The Company believes the available objective evidence, principally the capital loss carryforward being utilizable to offset only future capital gains, creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of its capital loss carryforward that it is more likely than not, that substantially all of the capital loss carryforward is not realizable. The remaining valuation allowance of $0.2 million relates to certain state Net Operating Losses (NOLs) where the Company doesnt currently operate and there is sufficient doubt about the Companys ability to utilize these NOLs that it is more likely than not that this portion of the state NOLs are not realizable. The Company does not anticipate any change in its valuation allowance during 2008.

Earnings Per Share |
|
|
Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. The Company had weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, of 26,834,108 and 25,903,330, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had weighted average common shares of 24,825,623 and 23,435,961, respectively. The Companys common share equivalents consist of stock options. |

Debt |
The Company has a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) among the Company, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMCB), as administrative agent, which was utilized to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Companys acquisition of the Benefits Solutions Practice Area (BSPA) assets. The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $40 million (the Term Loan) and revolving credit loans of up to $25 million (the Revolving Loan). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement mature on September 13, 2011. The loans are secured by a security interest in favor of the lenders covering the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is calculated, at the Companys option, at either (i) LIBOR, including statutory reserves, plus a variable margin based on the Companys leverage ratio, or (ii) the higher of (a) the prime lending rate of JPMCB, and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, in each case plus a variable margin based on the Companys leverage ratio. In connection with the Revolving Loan, the Company agreed to pay a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, at a variable rate based on the Companys leverage ratio, on the unused portion of the Revolving Loan.
Commitments under the Credit Agreement will be reduced and borrowings are required to be repaid with the net proceeds of, among other things, sales or issuances of equity (excluding equity issued under employee benefit plans and equity issued to sellers as consideration in acquisitions), sales of assets by the Company and any incurrence of indebtedness by the Company, subject, in each case, to limited exceptions. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, which includes customary events of default including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of
11

representations or warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, defaults relating to such matters as ERISA, uninsured judgments and the failure to pay certain indebtedness, and a change of control default.
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type. The negative covenants include restrictions on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, dispositions of property, investments, dividends and other restricted payments. The financial covenants include a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, of not less than 1.75 to 1.0 through March 31, 2008 and a consolidated leverage ratio, as defined not to exceed 3.0 to 1.0. The Company is in full compliance with all of these covenants.
The Term Loan requires quarterly repayments of $1.575 million, which amount is adjusted each time the Company makes an additional repayment. There have been no borrowings under the Revolving Loan. Fees and expenses related to the Credit Agreement of $0.9 million have been recorded as Deferred Financing Costs (included in Other assets non-current) and will be amortized as interest expense over the five-year life of the credit facilities.

Derivative Contract |
The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the fluctuations in variable interest rates and does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
In December 2006, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement, which is accounted for as a cash flow hedge. This agreement effectively converted $12.0 million of the Companys variable rate debt to fixed-rate debt, reducing the Companys exposure to changes in interest rates. Under this swap agreement, the Company received an average LIBOR variable rate of 5.295% and paid an average LIBOR fixed rate of 2.481% for the period from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008. The LIBOR interest rates exclude the Companys applicable interest rate spread under the Companys Credit Agreement. The Company has recognized, net of tax, an unrealized loss of $0.3 million related to the change in the instruments fair value through March 31, 2008. This amount has been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
The variable to fixed interest rate swap is designated as and is effective as a cash-flow hedge. The fair value of this swap is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in its fair value included in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI). Derivative gains and losses included in OCI are reclassified

Commitments and Contingencies |
The Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) between the Company and Accordis Holding Corp. (AHC) contains indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify AHC for liabilities in connection with Accordis, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which arose prior to the sale of Accordis to AHC on August 31, 2005. AHC agreed to indemnify the Company for liabilities in connection with Accordis that arise after the sale. There is a minimum indemnification claim threshold of $250,000 that is computed after taking into account any insurance proceeds. The Companys liability under the indemnification provisions of the SPA is capped at the purchase price of $8 million. The Company is not aware of any potential claims under the indemnification provisions of the SPA.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For this purpose any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words believes, anticipates, plans, expects and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include those risks identified in Item 1A-Risk Factors and other risks identified in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Such forward-looking statements represent managements current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Readers are cautioned that actual results may differ from managements expectations.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP.
We believe there have been no significant changes during the first three months of 2008 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Current Overview
We provide a variety of cost management services for government-sponsored health and human services programs. These services help customers recover amounts due from third parties, avoid and reduce costs, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Our customers are State Medicaid agencies, government-sponsored managed care plans, child support agencies, the Veterans Health Administration, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and other public programs. We help these programs contain healthcare costs by identifying third party insurance coverage and recovering expenditures that were the responsibility of the third party, or that were paid in error. The identification of other insurance coverage also helps these programs avoid future expenditures.
Our non-acquisition related revenue has grown at an average rate of approximately 17% per year for the last five years. We anticipate that in 2008 our revenue will approximate $170 million. Our growth has been partly attributable to the growth in Medicaid costs, which has historically averaged approximately 7% annually. State governments also have increased their use of vendors for coordination of benefits and other cost containment functions, and we have been able to increase our revenue through these initiatives. Leveraging our work on behalf of state Medicaid fee for service programs, we have begun to penetrate the Medicaid managed care market, into which more Medicaid lives are being shifted. As of March 31, 2008, we counted 74 Medicaid managed care plans including many of the largest in the nation as our clients.
14
It should be noted that the nature of our business sometimes leads to significant variations in revenue flow. For example, since we receive contingency fees for nearly all our services, we recognize revenue only after our clients have received payment from a third party. In addition, much of our work occurs on an annual or project-specific basis, and does not necessarily recur monthly or quarterly, as do our operating expenses.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $38.9 million, an increase of $6.7 million or 20.8% compared to revenue of $32.2 million in the prior year quarter. The Revenue increase reflects the addition of new clients, changes in the yields and scope of client projects and differences in the timing of when client projects were completed in the current year compared to the prior year.
Compensation expense as a percentage of revenue was 42.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 40.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the current quarter was $16.6 million, a $3.5 million or 26.6% increase over the prior year quarter expense of $13.1 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we averaged 787 employees, a 29.4% increase over our average of 608 employees during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Increases in compensation expense resulted from the acquisition of Permedion and added staff in the areas of customer support, operations, marketing, government relations and administration.
Data processing expense as a percentage of revenue was 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 6.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the current quarter was $3.0 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 38.1% over the prior year quarter expense of $2.1 million. Expenses associated with mainframe and network upgrades increased by $0.4 million for software costs, $0.2 million for hardware costs, and $0.1 million for network communication expenses resulting from our increased number of field offices.

Occupancy expense as a percentage of revenue was 6.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 6.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the current quarter was $2.6 million, a $0.6 million or 30.7% increase compared to the prior year quarter expense of $2.0 million. This increase reflected approximately $0.2 million for rent increases, $0.2 million for depreciation of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and telephone systems, $0.1 million for equipment moving expenses, and $0.1 million for higher utility costs.
Direct project expense as a percentage of revenue was 14.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the current quarter was $5.5 million, a $0.3 million or 6.5% increase compared to prior year quarter expense of $5.2 million. This increase resulted from higher transaction volumes during the current quarter.
Other operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 11.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 8.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the current quarter were $4.5 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 57.8% compared to the prior year quarter expense of $2.8 million. This increase resulted primarily from $1.1 million in additional temporary help and consulting fees, a $0.2 million in travel and related expenses, $0.3 million for local taxes, recruiting fees and supplies expenses, and staff relocation expenses.
Amortization of acquisition-related software and intangibles as a percentage of revenue was 3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the current quarter was $1.2 million, equivalent to prior year quarter expense of $1.2 million.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $5.7 million compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to increased incremental operating cost incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Interest expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.7 million for the prior year quarter. In both periods, interest expense was attributable to borrowings under the Term Loan used to finance a portion of the September 2006 acquisition of BSPA and amortization of deferred financing costs. Interest income was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to interest income of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 principally due to higher cash balances.
Income tax expense of $2.3 million was recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, equivalent to the $2.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Our effective tax rate decreased to 42.0% in 2008 from 43.7% for the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily due to a change in state apportionments. The Companys tax provision in 2008 is principally a deferred provision as federal income taxes payable have been offset by the benefit of disqualifying dispositions recognized in additional paid in capital. Additionally, the amortization of intangible assets has reduced current taxable income. The principal difference between the statutory rate and the Companys effective rate is state taxes.
Net income of $3.2 million in the current quarter represents a $0.2 million increase compared to net income of $3.0 million in the prior year quarter.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, other than operating leases discussed below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our principal source of funds has been operations and we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments significantly in excess of our operating needs. At March 31, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents and net working capital were $16.7 million and $25.2 million, respectively. Although we expect that operating cash flows will continue to be a primary source of liquidity for our operating needs, we also have a $25 million Revolving Credit facility available for future cash flow needs. To date, there have been no borrowings made on the Revolving Credit facility. In addition, at March 31, 2008, we had $22.1 million of debt outstanding from the $40.0 million Term Loan originally borrowed to fund the BSPA acquisition in September 2006. The Term Loan requires us to make quarterly payments of $1.575 million.
Operating cash flows could be adversely affected by a decrease in demand for our services. The majority of our client relationships have been in place for several years, and as a result, we do not expect any decrease in the demand for our services in the near term. We anticipate that our existing cash balances and funds generated by operations will be sufficient for all our 2008 cash needs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, cash used in operations was $2.6 million compared to cash provided by operations of $0.8 million in the prior year period. The current year periods difference between net income of $3.2 million and cash used in operations of $2.6 million was principally due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $7.9 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $2.3 million. These were partially offset by non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization expense of $2.9 million, share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.7 million. During the current year period, cash used in investing activities was $2.2 million, reflecting investments in property, equipment and software development. Cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million consisted $0.8 million received from stock option exercises and a $1.1 million tax benefit from disqualifying dispositions partially offset by $1.6 million of principal payments on the Term Loan.
The number of days sales outstanding (DSO) at March 31, 2008 increased to 97 days compared to 86 days at December 31, 2007. First quarter DSO has historically increased by several days over year-end. A substantial portion of the increase in the current quarters DSO levels resulted from state government administrative delays in payment processing, together with the timing of the monthly distribution of revenue during the quarter.

On May 28, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase such number of shares of our common stock that have an aggregate purchase price not in excess of $10 million. On February 24, 2006, the Board of Directors increased the authorized aggregate purchase price by $10 million to an amount not to exceed $20 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, no purchases were made. Cumulatively since the inception of the repurchase program, we have repurchased 1,662,846 shares having an aggregate purchase price of $9.4 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with the exception of the application of the statement to the determination of fair value of nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed on a nonrecurring basis, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs
18
are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
At March 31, 2008, our interest rate derivative contract (see note 8) is being carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (SFAS 159) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in earnings. We have adopted SFAS 159 and have elected not to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 141(R) may have on our financial statements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
We are exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily from our Term Loan, and use an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on variable debt and reduce certain exposures to interest rate fluctuations. There is a risk that market rates will decline and the required payments will exceed those based on current market rates on the long-term debt. Our risk management objective in entering into such contracts and agreements is only to reduce our exposure to the effects of interest rate fluctuations and not for speculative investment. At March 31, 2008, we had total bank debt of $22.1 million. Our interest rate swaps effectively converted $12.0 million of this variable rate debt to fixed rate debt leaving approximately $10.1 million of the total long-term debt exposed to interest rate risk. If the effective interest rate for all of our variable rate debt were to increase by 100 basis points (1%), our annual interest expense would increase by a maximum of $100,000 based on the balances outstanding at March 31, 2008.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon our evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.
There have been no changes our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I,Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
