Emergency Medical Services Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. General
Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for Emergency Medical Services Corporation (EMSC or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim reporting, and accordingly, do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009. For further information, see the Companys consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
The consolidated financial statements of EMSC include those of its direct subsidiary, Emergency Medical Services L.P. (EMS LP), a Delaware limited partnership. The Companys business is conducted primarily through two operating subsidiaries, American Medical Response, Inc. (AMR), its healthcare transportation services segment, and EmCare Holdings Inc. (EmCare), its outsourced hospital-based physician services segment.
The Company is party to a management agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Onex Corporation, the Companys principal equityholder. In exchange for an annual management fee of $1.0 million, the Onex subsidiary provides the Company with corporate finance and strategic planning consulting services. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company expensed $250 and $500, respectively, in respect of this fee.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries of EMSC, including AMR and EmCare and their respective subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations, financial condition and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Insurance
Insurance collateral is comprised principally of government and investment grade securities and cash deposits with third parties and supports the Companys insurance program and reserves. Certain of these investments, if sold or otherwise liquidated, would have to be replaced by other suitable financial assurances and are, therefore, considered restricted.
Insurance reserves are established for automobile, workers compensation, general liability and professional liability claims utilizing policies with both fully-insured and self-insured components. This includes the use of an off-shore captive insurance program through a wholly-owned subsidiary for certain professional liability (malpractice) programs for EmCare. In those instances where the Company has obtained third-party insurance coverage, the Company generally retains liability for the first $1 to $2 million of the loss. Insurance reserves cover known claims and incidents within the level of Company retention that may result in the assertion of additional claims, as well as claims from unknown incidents that may be asserted arising from activities through the balance
6
sheet date.
The Company establishes reserves for claims based upon an assessment of actual claims and claims incurred but not reported. The reserves are established based on quarterly consultation with third-party independent actuaries using actuarial principles and assumptions that consider a number of factors, including historical claim payment patterns (including legal costs) and changes in case reserves and the assumed rate of inflation in healthcare costs and property damage repairs.
The Companys most recent actuarial valuation was completed in June 2009. As a result of this actuarial valuation, the Company recorded an increase of $4.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 in its provision for insurance liabilities related to reserves for losses in prior years. A total increase of $5.2 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a result of the actuarial valuation completed in June 2008, the Company recorded reductions in its provision for insurance liabilities of approximately $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $6.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The long-term portion of insurance reserves was $137.4 million and $139.0 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, net
The Company estimates its allowances based on payor reimbursement schedules, historical collections and write-off experience and other economic data. The allowances for contractual discounts and uncompensated care are reviewed monthly. Account balances are charged off against the uncompensated care allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Write-offs to the contractual allowance occur when payment is received. The allowance for uncompensated care is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients. The Companys accounts receivable and allowances are as follows:

Other receivables represent EmCare hospital subsidies and fees and AMR fees for stand-by and special events and subsidies from community organizations.
AMR contractual allowances are determined primarily on payor reimbursement schedules that are included and regularly updated in the billing systems, and by historical collection experience. The billing systems calculate the difference between payor specific gross billings and contractually agreed to, or governmentally driven, reimbursement rates. The allowance for uncompensated care at AMR is related principally to receivables recorded for self-pay patients. AMRs allowances on self-pay accounts receivable are estimated on claim level, historical write-off experience.
Accounts receivable allowances at EmCare are estimated based on cash collection and write-off experience at a facility level contract and facility specific payor mix. These allowances are reviewed and adjusted monthly through revenue provisions. In addition, a look-back analysis is done, typically after 15 months, to compare actual cash collected on a date of service basis to the revenue recorded for that period. Any adjustment necessary for an overage or deficit in these allowances based on actual collections is recorded through a revenue adjustment in the current period.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the time of service and is recorded net of provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. Provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care as a
7
percentage of gross revenue and as a percentage of gross revenue less provision for contractual discounts are as follows:

Healthcare reimbursement is complex and may involve lengthy delays. Third-party payors are continuing their efforts to control expenditures for healthcare, including proposals to revise reimbursement policies. The Company has from time to time experienced delays in reimbursement from third-party payors. In addition, third-party payors may disallow, in whole or in part, claims for reimbursement based on determinations that certain amounts are not reimbursable under plan coverage, determinations of medical necessity, or the need for additional information. Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are very complex and subject to interpretation. Revenue is recognized on an estimated basis in the period which related services are rendered. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change materially in the short-term. Such amounts, including adjustments between provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care, are adjusted in future periods, as adjustments become known. These adjustments were less than 1% of net revenue for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008.
The Company also provides services to patients who have no insurance or other third-party payor coverage. In certain circumstances, federal law requires providers to render services to any patient who requires emergency care regardless of their ability to pay.
Equity Structure
On December 21, 2005, the Company effected a reorganization and issued 8.1 million shares of class A common stock in an initial public offering. Pursuant to the reorganization, EMS LP, the former top-tier holding company of AMR and EmCare, became the consolidated subsidiary of EMSC, a newly formed corporation. To effect the reorganization, the holders of the capital stock of the sole general partner of EMS LP contributed that capital stock to the Company in exchange for class B common stock; the general partner was merged into the Company and the Company became the sole general partner of EMS LP. Concurrently, the holders of class B units of EMS LP contributed their units to the Company in exchange for shares of the Companys class A common stock, and the holders of certain class A units of EMS LP contributed their units to the Company in exchange for shares of the Companys class B common stock.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company holds 24.8% of the equity interests in EMS LP. LP exchangeable units, held by persons affiliated with the Companys principal equity holder, represent the balance of the EMS LP equity. The LP exchangeable units are exchangeable at any time, at the option of the holder, for shares of the Companys class B common stock on a one-for-one basis. The holders of the LP exchangeable units have the right to vote, through the trustee holder of the Companys class B special voting stock, at all stockholder meetings at which holders of the Companys class B common stock or class B special voting stock are entitled to vote.
In the EMS LP partnership agreement, the Company has agreed to maintain the economic equivalency of the LP exchangeable units and the class B common stock, and the holders of the LP exchangeable units have no general voting rights. The LP exchangeable units, when considered with the class B special voting stock, have the same rights, privileges and characteristics of the Companys class B common stock. The LP exchangeable units are intended to be economically equivalent to the class B common stock of the Company in that the LP exchangeable units carry the right to vote (by virtue of the class B special voting stock) with the holders of class B common stock as if one class, and entitle holders to receive distributions only if the equivalent dividends are declared on the
8
Companys class B common stock. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the LP exchangeable units as if the LP exchangeable units were shares of its common stock, including reporting the LP exchangeable units in the equity section of the Companys balance sheet and including the number of outstanding LP exchangeable units in both its basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) effective January 1, 2008, which among other things, requires additional disclosures about financial instruments that are reported at fair value. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1 Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. As required by SFAS 157, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3 Pricing inputs are unobservable as of the reporting date and reflect the Companys own assumptions about the fair value of the asset or liability.
The following table summarizes the valuation of EMSCs financial instruments by the above SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2009:

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2) delayed the application of SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. Adoption of FSP 157-2 did not have an impact on the Companys financial statements during the three or six months ended June 30, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167), which modifies the analysis required to identify controlling financial interest in variable interest entities. SFAS 167 is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2010. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 167 to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB Statement 140 (SFAS 166), which clarifies circumstances under which a transferor has surrendered control and, thus, should remove the asset together with any related liabilities from its balance sheet. SFAS 166 is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2010. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 166 to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
9
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 Subsequent Events (SFAS 165), which defines further disclosure requirements for events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS 165 is effective for the Company beginning on April 1, 2009. In accordance with SFAS 165, the Companys management has evaluated events subsequent to June 30, 2009 through August 4, 2009 which is the issuance date of this report. There has been no material event noted in this period which would either impact the results reflected in this report or the Companys results going forward.
3. Acquisitions
The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) effective January 1, 2009. The impact to the Companys consolidated financials statements and related disclosures will depend on the nature and terms of the business combinations entered into subsequent to adoption of SFAS 141(R). The Company expensed $257 upon adoption of SFAS 141(R) and expensed a total of $191 and $911 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. These costs are included in operating expenses on the accompanying statement of operations and previously would have been recorded as a component of goodwill.
In January 2009, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of the air ambulance business of Skyservice Business Aviation Inc. (Skyservice Air Ambulance), a fixed-wing air ambulance operator based in Montreal, Canada, with operations in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. Founded in 1989, Skyservice Air Ambulance provides worldwide air ambulance service. Completion of the transaction is subject to currently pending Canadian regulatory approval.

6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company manages its exposure to changes in market interest rates. The Companys use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective fixed interest rate swap agreements used to manage well-defined interest rate risk exposures. The Company monitors
10
its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes.
In March 2009, the Company amended the interest rate swap agreement originally entered into in December 2007. The amendment changed the hedged interest rate from the 3-month LIBOR to the 1-month LIBOR. The swap agreement is with major financial institutions with a notional principal balance of $200 million. The amended swap agreement effectively converts $200 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 6.1%. The Company continues to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR which had a rate of less than 1% at June 30, 2009) and periodically settles with its counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate. The swap agreement will expire in December 2009. The Company recorded, as a component of other comprehensive income, a decrease to the liability associated with the fair value of the fixed interest rate swap agreement in the amount of $1.5 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, and a decrease of $3.8 million and an increase of $0.1 million during the same periods in 2008, in each case before applicable tax impacts. The net additional interest payments made or received under this swap agreement are recognized in interest expense. Over the remaining term of the agreement, the Company expects to reclassify $3.7 million of deferred loss before applicable tax impacts from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as related interest payments that are being hedged are recognized.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The Company leases various facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements.
The Company also leases certain vehicles and leasehold improvements under capital leases. Assets under capital leases are capitalized using inherent interest rates at the inception of each lease. Capital leases are collateralized by the underlying assets.
Forward Purchase Commitment
Beginning in March 2009, AMR entered into a series of forward purchase contracts which fix the price for a portion of its total monthly diesel fuel usage from April 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. For the six months ending December 31, 2009, the Company is under contract to purchase 200,000 gallons of diesel fuel per month at prices ranging from $2.63 to $2.79 per gallon. For the twelve months ending June 30, 2010, the Company is under contract to purchase 50,000 gallons of diesel fuel per month at prices ranging from $2.85 to $2.99 per gallon. These forward purchase contracts represent approximately 40% of the Companys total monthly diesel fuel usage. Based on the terms of the contracts, the Company has concluded they do not qualify as derivatives. The impact related to these contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2009 was additional operating expense of $0.1 million.
Services
The Company is subject to the Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse laws which prohibit, among other things, any false claims, or any bribe, kickback or rebate in return for the referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. Violation of these prohibitions may result in civil and criminal penalties and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Management has implemented policies and procedures that management believes will assure that the Company is in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations but there can be no assurance the Company will not be found to have violated certain of these laws and regulations. From time to time, the Company receives requests for information from government agencies pursuant to their regulatory or investigational authority. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government in audits or investigations. The Company is cooperating with the government agencies conducting these investigations and is providing requested information to the government agencies. Other than the proceedings described below, management believes that the outcome of any of these investigations would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
11
Other Legal Matters
On December 13, 2005, a lawsuit purporting to be a class action was commenced against AMR in Spokane, Washington in Washington State Court, Spokane County. The complaint alleges that AMR billed patients and third party payors for transports it conducted between 1998 and 2005 at higher rates than contractually permitted. The court has certified a class in this case, but the size and membership of the class has not been determined. At this time, AMR does not believe that any incorrect billings are material in amount.
In December 2006, AMR received a subpoena from the Department of Justice. The subpoena requested copies of documents for the period from January 2000 through the present. The subpoena required AMR to produce a broad range of documents relating to the operations of certain AMR affiliates in New York. The Company continues to cooperate with governmental requests for documents and information.
Three different lawsuits purporting to be class actions have been filed against AMR and certain subsidiaries in California alleging violations of California wage and hour laws. On April 16, 2008, Lori Bartoni commenced a suit in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Alameda, which has since been removed to the United States District Court, Northern District of California; on July 8, 2008, Vaughn Banta filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles; on January 22, 2009, Laura Karapetian filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. At the present time, courts have not certified classes in any of these cases. Plaintiffs allege principally that the AMR entities failed to pay daily overtime charges pursuant to California law, and failed to provide required meal breaks or pay premium compensation for missed meal breaks. Plaintiffs are seeking to certify the classes and are seeking lost wages, punitive damages, attorneys fees and other sanctions permitted under California law for violations of wage hour laws. The Company is unable at this time to estimate the amount of potential damages, if any.
The Company is involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
8. Equity Based Compensation
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) on January 1, 2006 using the prospective transition method. The stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model on the date of grant.
Equity Option Plan
Under the Companys Equity Option Plan, key employees were granted options that permit the individuals to purchase class A common shares and vest ratably generally over a period of four years. In addition, certain performance measures must be met for 50% of the options to become exercisable; these performance measures were satisfied during the first quarter of 2009 with respect to the options granted in the first quarter of 2005. Options with similar provisions were granted to non-employee directors. As the vesting period for these shares was complete during the first quarter of 2009, the Company did not record a compensation charge for the three months ended June 30, 2009. A compensation charge of $431 was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The compensation charge recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $97 and $862, respectively.
Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Companys original 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan was approved by stockholders in May 2007 and an Amended and Restated 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan) was approved by stockholders in May 2008. The Plan provides for the grant of long-term incentives, including various equity-based incentives, to those persons with responsibility for the success and growth of the Company and its subsidiaries.
There were no options or restricted stock granted during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The Company recorded a compensation charge of $979 and $31 during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1,407 and $62 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in connection with the Plan.
12
Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan
The Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, approved in May 2007, is available to non-employee directors of the Company, other than the Chair of the Compliance Committee. Under this plan, eligible directors are granted Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) following each annual stockholder meeting with each RSU representing one share of the Companys class A common stock. Eligible directors receive a grant of RSUs having a fair market value of $100 on the date of grant based on the closing price of the Companys class A common stock on the business day immediately preceding the grant date. The Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan allows directors to defer income from the grant of RSUs, which vest immediately prior to the election of directors at the next annual stockholder meeting. In connection with this plan, the Company granted 3,018 RSUs per director in 2009. The Company granted 4,145 RSUs per director following the 2008 annual stockholder meeting and granted an additional 2,374 RSUs to a director upon his election to the board of directors in October 2008. The Company expensed $125 and $100 for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $250 and $200 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Stock Purchase Plan/Employee Stock Purchase Plan
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company commenced an offering of its class A common stock to eligible employees and independent contractors associated with the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to a Stock Purchase Plan and the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together, the SPPs). The purchases of stock under the SPPs will occur in October 2009 at a 5% discount to the closing price of the Companys class A common stock on October 15, 2009. No compensation charge has been recorded for the SPPs in the six month period ended June 30, 2009.
9. Segment Information
The Company is organized around two separately managed business units: healthcare transportation services and hospital-based physician services, which have been identified as operating segments. The healthcare transportation services reportable segment focuses on providing a full range of medical transportation services from basic patient transit to the most advanced emergency care and pre-hospital assistance. The hospital-based physician services reportable segment provides outsourced business services to hospitals primarily for emergency departments and urgent care centers, as well as for hospitalist/inpatient, radiology and anesthesiology services. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131), as he assesses the performance of the business units and decides how to allocate resources to the business units.
Net income before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income tax expense, interest and other income, realized gain on investments, interest expense and depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is the measure of profit and loss that the CODM uses to assess performance, measure liquidity and make decisions. The accounting policies for reported segments are the same as for the Company as a whole.

10. Guarantors of Debt
EMS LP financed the acquisition of AMR and EmCare in part by issuing $250.0 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes and borrowing $370.2 million under its senior secured credit facility. Its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AMR HoldCo, Inc. (f/k/a EMSC Management, Inc.) and EmCare HoldCo, Inc., are the issuers of the senior subordinated notes and the borrowers under the senior secured credit facility. As part of the transaction, AMR and its subsidiaries became wholly-owned subsidiaries of AMR HoldCo, Inc. and EmCare and its subsidiaries became wholly-owned subsidiaries of EmCare HoldCo, Inc. The senior subordinated notes and the senior secured credit facility include a full, unconditional and joint and several guarantee by EMSC, EMS LP and EMSCs domestic subsidiaries. The senior subordinated notes and senior secured credit facility do not include a guarantee by the Companys captive insurance subsidiary. All of the operating income and cash flow of EMSC, EMS LP, AMR HoldCo, Inc. and EmCare HoldCo, Inc. is generated by AMR, EmCare and their subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the debt service obligations under the senior secured notes and senior secured credit facility described above are provided by the distributions or advances from the subsidiary companies, AMR and EmCare. Investments in subsidiary operating companies are accounted for on the equity method. Accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate EMSC, EMS LP, AMR HoldCo, Inc., EmCare HoldCo, Inc. and all of their subsidiaries are reflected in the Eliminations/Adjustments column. Separate complete financial statements of the issuers,

EMS LP and subsidiary guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of the issuers, EMS LP or the subsidiary guarantors. The condensed consolidating financial statements for EMSC, EMS LP, the issuers, the guarantors and the non-guarantor are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Results
Certain statements and information herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. Any forward-looking statements herein are made as of the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and EMSC undertakes no duty to update or revise any such statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from forward-looking statements are described in EMSCs filings with the SEC from time to time, including in the section entitled Risk Factors in the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Among the factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are: the impact on our revenue of changes in transport volume, mix of insured and uninsured patients, and third party reimbursement rates and methods; the adequacy of our insurance coverage and insurance reserves; potential penalties or changes to our operations if we fail to comply with extensive and complex government regulation of our industry, both as it exists now and as it may change in the future; our ability to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other healthcare professionals, and enforce our non-compete agreements with our physicians; the loss of one or more members of our senior management team; the outcome of government investigations of certain of our business practices; our ability to generate cash flow to service our debt obligations and fund the cost of capital expenditures to maintain and upgrade our vehicle fleet and medical equipment; and the loss of existing contracts and the accuracy of our assessment of costs under new contracts.
All references to we, our, us or EMSC refer to Emergency Medical Services Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Emergency Medical Services L.P., or EMS LP. The Companys business is conducted primarily through two operating subsidiaries, American Medical Response, Inc., or AMR, and EmCare Holdings Inc., or EmCare.
This Report should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2009.
Company Overview
We are a leading provider of emergency medical services in the United States. We operate our business and market our services under the AMR and EmCare brands. We believe that AMR, over its more than 50 years of operating history, has become the leading provider of ambulance transport services in the United States. We believe that EmCare, over its more than 35 years of operating history, has become the leading provider of outsourced emergency department staffing and management services in the United States and also provides hospital-based services for hospitalist/inpatient, radiology, and anesthesiology departments.
Key Factors and Measures We Use to Evaluate Our Business
The key factors and measures we use to evaluate our business focus on the number of patients we treat and transport and the costs we incur to provide the necessary care and transportation for each of our patients.
We evaluate our revenue net of provisions for contractual payor discounts and provisions for uncompensated care. Medicaid, Medicare and certain other payors receive discounts from our standard charges, which we refer to as contractual discounts. In addition, individuals we treat and transport may be personally responsible for a deductible or co-pay under their third party payor coverage, and most of our contracts require us to treat and transport patients who have no insurance or other third party payor coverage. Due to the uncertainty regarding collectability of charges associated with services we provide to these patients, which we refer to as uncompensated care, our net revenue recognition is based on expected cash collections. Our net revenue is gross billings after provisions for contractual discounts and estimated uncompensated care. Provisions for contractual discounts and uncompensated care
21
have increased historically primarily as a result of increases in gross billing rates.
The table below summarizes our approximate payor mix as a percentage of both net revenue and total transports and patient encounters for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. In determining the net revenue payor mix, we use cash collections in the period as an approximation of net revenue recorded.

In addition to continually monitoring our payor mix, we also analyze certain measures in each of our business segments.
AMR
Approximately 88% of AMRs net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was transport revenue derived from the treatment and transportation of patients, including fixed wing medical transportation services, based on billings to third party payors, healthcare facilities and patients. The balance of AMRs net revenue is derived from direct billings to communities and government agencies for the provision of training, dispatch center and other services. AMRs measures for net revenue include transports (segregated into ambulance and wheelchair transports, and weighted in certain of our analyses) and net revenue per transport.
The change from period to period in the number of transports is influenced by changes in transports in existing markets from both new and existing facilities we serve for non-emergency transports, the effects of general community conditions for emergency transports and the impact of newly acquired businesses.
The costs we incur in our AMR business segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for medical crews and support personnel, direct and indirect operating costs to provide transportation services, and costs related to accident and insurance claims. AMRs key cost measures include unit hours and cost per unit hour (to measure compensation-related costs and the efficiency of our ambulance deployment), operating costs per transport, and accident and insurance claims.
We have focused our risk mitigation efforts on employee training for proper patient handling techniques, development of clinical and medical equipment protocols, driving safety, implementation of technology to reduce auto incidents and other risk mitigation processes which we believe have resulted in a reduction in the frequency, severity and development of claims.
EmCare
Of EmCares net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, approximately 86% was derived from our hospital contracts for emergency department staffing and approximately 14% was derived from hospitalist, anesthesiology, radiology and other hospital management services. Approximately 80% of EmCares net revenue was generated from billings to third party payors and patients for patient encounters and approximately 20% was generated from billings to hospitals and affiliated physician groups for professional services. EmCares key net revenue measures are patient encounters (segregated into emergency department visits, radiology reads, and anesthesiology and hospitalist encounters, and weighted in certain of our analyses), net revenue per patient encounter, and
22
number of contracts. Due to our expansion in the radiology and anesthesiology markets which typically generate lower net revenue per encounter than emergency room visits, patient encounters are now being weighted to make net revenue per encounter comparable across all of EmCares markets.
The change from period to period in the number of patient encounters under our same store contracts is influenced by general community conditions as well as hospital-specific elements, many of which are beyond our direct control.
The costs incurred in our EmCare business segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for physicians and other professional providers, professional liability costs, and contract and other support costs. EmCares key cost measures include provider compensation per patient encounter and professional liability costs.
We have developed extensive professional liability risk mitigation processes, including risk assessments on medical professionals and hospitals, extensive incident reporting and tracking processes, clinical fail-safe programs, training and education and other risk mitigation programs which we believe have resulted in a continued reduction in the frequency, severity and development of claims.
Recent Developments
The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) effective January 1, 2009. The new standard replaces FASB Statement No. 141 and establishes requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests. The impact to the Companys consolidated financial statements and related disclosures will depend on the nature and terms of the business combinations entered into subsequent to adoption of SFAS 141(R).
Factors Affecting Operating Results
Changes in Net New Contracts
Our operating results are affected directly by the number of net new contracts and related volumes we have in a period, reflecting the effects of both new contracts and contract expirations. We regularly bid for new contracts, frequently in a formal competitive bidding process that often requires written responses to a Request for Proposal, or RFP, and, in any fiscal period, certain of our contracts will expire. We may elect not to seek extension or renewal of a contract, or may reduce certain services, if we determine that we cannot continue to provide such services on favorable terms. With respect to expiring contracts we would like to renew, we may be required to seek renewal through an RFP, and we may not be successful in retaining any such contracts, or retaining them on terms that are as favorable as present terms.
Inflation
Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, fuel and equipment repair and maintenance costs, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Fuel expense represented 9.0% and 16.1% of AMRs operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 8.5% and 14.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Although we have generally been able to offset inflationary and other cost increases through increased operating efficiencies and successful negotiation of fees and subsidies, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to offset any future fuel and inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies and fee changes.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Management regularly analyzes the ultimate collectability of accounts receivable after certain stages of the collection cycle using a look-back analysis to determine the amount of receivables subsequently collected. Adjustments related to this analysis were less than 1% of net revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Results of Operations
Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008
The following tables present a comparison of financial data from our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 for EMSC and our two operating segments.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary, income tax expense, interest and other income, realized gain on investments, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by management and investors as a performance measure and liquidity indicator. Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The tables set forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and cash flows provided by operating activities.

Quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008
Consolidated
Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2009 reflect an increase in net revenue of $66.2 million and an increase in net income of $10.7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in net income is attributable primarily to growth in income from operations, offset in part by increased income tax expense. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.69 and $0.67, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.44 and $0.43, respectively, for the same period in 2008.
Net revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we generated net revenue of $637.3 million compared to $571.1million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, representing an increase of 11.6%. The increase is attributable primarily to increases in rates and volumes on existing contracts and increased volume from net new contracts and acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $73.0 million, or 11.5% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $55.5 million, or 9.7% of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $10.3 million compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $18.9 million compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2008. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 39.5%, compared to 38.4% for the same period in 2008.
AMR
Net revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $335.5 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 3.7%, from $323.7 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in net revenue was due primarily to an increase in net revenue per weighted transport of 5.0%, or $15.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of 1.3%, or $4.1 million, in weighted transport volume. Of the increase in net revenue per weighted transport, 3.2% is attributable primarily to various rate increases, including a Medicare fee increase effective January 1, 2009, and the remainder is due primarily to growth in our managed transportation business. Weighted transports decreased 9,400 from the same quarter last year. The change was due to a decrease in weighted transports of 12,200 from
26
the exit of markets and a decrease in weighted transport volume in existing markets of 3,000, or 0.4%, which were offset partially by 5,800 weighted transports from entrance into new markets.
Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefit costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $207.8 million, or 61.9% of net revenue, compared to $204.1 million, or 63.1% of net revenue, for the same period last year. Ambulance crew wages per ambulance unit hour increased by approximately 3.8%, or $4.3 million, attributable primarily to annual wage rate increases. Ambulance unit hours decreased period over period by 1.3%, or $1.5 million, due primarily to the reduction in volume in existing markets and improvements in our deployment. Compensation and benefits decreased as a percentage of net revenue due in part to the growth in our managed transportation business. Our managed transportation costs are reflected primarily in operating expenses.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $72.1 million, or 21.5% of net revenue, compared to $75.7 million, or 23.4% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Operating expenses per weighted transport decreased 3.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The change is due primarily to decreased fuel costs of $5.7 million, including approximately $5.0 million related to lower fuel rates and decreased aircraft expenses of $1.5 million from decreased transports in our fixed wing medical transportation services business, partially offset by an increase of $3.9 million in operating expenses associated with growth in our managed transportation business.
Insurance expense. Insurance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $13.9 million, or 4.2% of net revenue, compared to $8.9 million, or 2.8% of net revenue, for the same period in 2008. We recorded an increase of prior year insurance provisions of $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a decrease of $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $9.7 million, or 2.9% of net revenue, compared to $9.7 million, or 3.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $12.2 million, or 3.6% of net revenue, compared to $14.1 million, or 4.4% of net revenue, for the same period in 2008. The decrease is related primarily to reduced annual capital expenditures in 2008.
EmCare
Net revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $301.8 million, an increase of $54.4 million, or 22.0%, from $247.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due primarily to an increase in patient encounters from net new hospital contracts and net revenue increases in existing contracts. Following March 31, 2008, we added 98 net new contracts which accounted for a net revenue increase of $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Of the 98 net new contracts added since March 31, 2008, 73 were added in 2008 resulting in an incremental increase in 2009 net revenue of $18.9 million. Of the 73 contracts added in 2008, 45 were from our acquisition of Clinical Partners in August 2008 with related management fee revenue totaling $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009. EmCare has added 53 new contracts and terminated 28 contracts to date in 2009, resulting in an increase in net revenue of $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Net revenue under our same store contracts (contracts in existence for the entirety of both periods) increased $23.3 million, or 10.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The change is due to a 3.7% increase in revenue per weighted patient encounter and an increase in same store weighted patient encounters of 7.2% over the prior period.
Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $230.8 million, or 76.5% of net revenue, compared to $196.4 million, or 79.4% of net revenue, for the same period in 2008. Provider compensation costs increased $19.8 million from net new contract additions. Same store provider compensation costs were $9.1 million over the prior period due primarily to a 7.2% increase in same store weighted patient encounters. Non-provider compensation and benefits costs increased $6.1 million due primarily to our recent acquisitions, organic growth, and additional incentive related accruals. Compensation and benefits costs decreased as a percentage of net revenue due primarily to the increase in weighted patient encounters during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
27
Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $10.1 million, or 3.3% of net revenue, compared to $8.0 million, or 3.2% of net revenue, for the same period in 2008. Operating expenses increased due primarily to increased collection agency fees and an increase in off-hours radiology coverage for new contracts.
Insurance expense. Professional liability insurance expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $14.4 million, or 4.8% of net revenue, compared to $8.7 million, or 3.5% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2008. We recorded an increase of prior year insurance provisions of $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a decrease of $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $6.6 million, or 2.2% of net revenue, compared to $5.9 million, or 2.4% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is due primarily to an increase in regional travel and other administrative expenses associated with the increase in contracts during the period.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $3.9 million, or 1.3% of net revenue, compared to $3.3 million, or 1.3% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008
Consolidated
Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 reflect an increase in net revenue of $113.4 million and an increase in net income of $17.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in net income is attributable primarily to growth in income from operations, offset in part by increased income tax expense. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.26 and $1.23, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.85 and $0.82, respectively, for the same period in 2008.
Net revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net revenue was $1,250.3 million compared to $1,136.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, representing an increase of 10.0%. The increase is attributable primarily to increases in rates and volumes on existing contracts and increased volume from net new contracts and acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $138.5 million, or 11.1% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $109.9 million, or 9.7% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $20.5 million compared to $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, resulting primarily from increased operating income. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 39.5% compared with 38.4% for the same period in 2008.
AMR
Net revenue. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $672.0 million, an increase of $22.0 million, or 3.4%, from $650.0 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in net revenue was due primarily to an increase in our net revenue per weighted transport of 5.9%, or $38.5 million, partially offset by a decrease of 2.5%, or $16.5 million, in weighted transport volume. Of the increase in net revenue per weighted transport, 3.9% is attributable primarily to various rate increases, including a Medicare fee increase effective January 1, 2009, and the remainder is due primarily to growth in our managed transportation business. Weighted transports decreased 38,300 from the same quarter last year. The change was due to a decrease in weighted transports of 21,400 from the exit of markets and a decrease in weighted transport volume in existing markets of 30,400, or 2.0%, partially offset by 13,500 weighted transports from entrance into new markets.
28
Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefit costs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $416.1 million, or 61.9% of net revenue, compared to $408.1 million, or 62.8% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Ambulance crew wages per ambulance unit hour increased by approximately 4.0%, or $8.8 million, attributable primarily to annual wage rate increases. Ambulance unit hours decreased period over period by 1.2%, or $2.7 million, due primarily to the reduction in volume in existing markets and improvements in our deployment. Compensation and benefits decreased as a percentage of net revenue due in part to the growth in our managed transportation business. Our managed transportation costs are reflected primarily in operating expenses.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $146.6 million, or 21.8% of net revenue, compared to $149.8 million, or 23.0% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Operating expenses per weighted transport increased 0.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The change is due primarily to decreased fuel costs of $9.4 million, including approximately $8.0 million related to lower fuel rates and decreased aircraft expenses of $3.5 million from decreased transports in our fixed wing medical transportation services business, partially offset by an increase of $8.0 million in operating expenses associated with growth in our managed transportation business.
Insurance expense. Insurance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $25.0 million, or 3.7% of net revenue, compared to $20.1 million, or 3.1% of net revenue, for the same period in 2008. We recorded an increase of prior year insurance provisions of $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a decrease of $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $18.9 million, or 2.8% of net revenue, compared to $19.0 million, or 2.9% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $24.9 million, or 3.7% of net revenue, compared to $28.5 million, or 4.4% of net revenue, for the same period in 2008. The decrease is related primarily to reduced annual capital expenditures in 2008.
EmCare
Net revenue. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $578.4 million, an increase of $91.5 million, or 18.8%, from $486.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due primarily to an increase in patient encounters from net new hospital contracts and net revenue increases in existing contracts. Following December 31, 2007, we added 104 net new contracts which accounted for a net revenue increase of $61.0 million. Of the 104 net new contracts added since December 31, 2007, 79 were added in 2008 resulting in an increase in 2009 net revenue of $48.1 million. Of the 79 contracts added in 2008, 45 were from our acquisition of Clinical Partners in August 2008 with related management fee revenue totaling $4.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. EmCare has added 53 new contracts and terminated 28 contracts to date in 2009, resulting in an increase in net revenue of $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net revenue under our same store contracts increased $26.7 million, or 6.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to a 3.6% increase in revenue per weighted encounter and an increase in same store weighted patient encounters of 2.9% over the prior period.
Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits costs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $449.1 million, or 77.6% of net revenue, compared to $386.8 million, or 79.4% of net revenue for the same period in 2008. Provider compensation costs increased $41.1 million from net new contract additions. Same store provider compensation costs were $11.2 million over the prior period due to a 1.2% increase in provider compensation per weighted patient encounter and a 2.9% increase in same store weighted patient encounters. Non-provider compensation and benefits costs increased by $10.6 million due primarily to our recent acquisitions, organic growth, and additional incentive related accruals. Compensation and benefits costs decreased as a percentage of net revenue due primarily to the increase in weighted patient encounters during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $20.2 million, or 3.5% of net revenue, compared to $17.1 million, or 3.5% of net revenue, for the same period in 2008. Operating expenses increased due primarily to increased collection agency fees and an increase in off-hours radiology coverage for new contracts.
29
Insurance expense. Professional liability insurance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $25.8 million, or 4.5% of net revenue, compared to $18.4 million, or 3.8% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We recorded an increase of prior year insurance provisions of $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a decrease of $2.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $12.4 million, or 2.1% of net revenue, compared to $11.1 million, or 2.3% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is due primarily to an increase in regional travel and other administrative expenses associated with the increase in contracts during the period.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $8.0 million, or 1.4% of net revenue, compared to $6.7 million, or 1.4% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies
For a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and incorporated by reference herein. As of June 30, 2009, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or estimation procedures.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of liquidity is cash flows provided by our operating activities. We can also use our revolving senior secured credit facility, described below, to supplement cash flows provided by our operating activities if we decide to do so for strategic or operating reasons. Our liquidity needs are primarily to service long-term debt and to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures related to the acquisition of vehicles and medical equipment, technology-related assets and insurance-related deposits.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents, net cash from our operating activities, and amounts available under our senior secured credit facility will meet the liquidity requirements of our business through at least the next 12 months. We have available to us, upon compliance with customary conditions, $100.0 million under the revolving credit facility, less outstanding letters of credit of $43.6 million at June 30, 2009. Further, we have a conditional right under our senior secured credit facility to request new or existing lenders to provide up to an additional $100.0 million of term debt (in $20.0 million increments).

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $140.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $55.4 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in operating cash flows relates
30
primarily to an increase in net income, further reductions in days sales outstanding, or DSO, and changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including insurance accruals. Changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due primarily to the timing of payroll related disbursements.
We regularly analyze DSO which is calculated by taking our net revenue for the quarter divided by the number of days in the quarter. The result is divided into net accounts receivable at the end of the period. DSO provides us with a gauge to measure receivables, revenue and collection activities. The reductions since December 31, 2008 shown below are due to additional collections on accounts receivable as a result of continued billing and collection process enhancements at both AMR and EmCare. The following table outlines our DSO by segment and in total excluding the impact of AMRs 2008 deployments under its contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency:

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in cash flows used in investing activities relates to additional insurance collateral requirements of $1.9 million during 2009 compared to a reduction in cash required for insurance collateral of $14.9 million during the 2008 period. Net capital expenditure spending was $20.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $10.0 million during the same period in 2008 due primarily to the timing of capital purchases. These differences were partially offset by $20.0 million used in the acquisition of businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash used in the acquisition of businesses was $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash provided by financing activities was $2.8 million compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009 there were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates on certain of our borrowings. While we have entered into transactions to mitigate our exposure to both changes in interest rates and fuel prices, we do not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
We monitor the risk from changing interest rates and evaluate ways to mitigate possible exposures, as appropriate, using derivative and hedging instruments. Our use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective fixed interest rate swap agreements used to manage well-defined interest rate risk exposures. In March 2009, we amended the interest rate swap agreement originally entered into in December 2007. The amendment changed the hedged interest rate from the 3-month LIBOR to the 1-month LIBOR. The amended swap agreement is with major financial institutions and amounts to $200 million of our variable rate debt. This swap agreement effectively converts $200 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with an effective rate of 6.1%. The Company continues to make interest payments based on the variable rate associated with the debt (based on LIBOR which had a rate of less than 1% at June 30, 2009) and periodically settles with its counterparties for the difference between the rate paid and the fixed rate. The swap agreement expires in December 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, we had $452.0 million of debt excluding capital leases, of which $0.8 million was variable rate debt under our senior secured credit facility and the balance was fixed rate debt, including $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our senior subordinated notes. An increase or decrease in interest rates of 0.2% will impact our interest costs by less than $0.1 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuers management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures conducted within 90 days of the date of filing this Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15d -15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
