Restated 2005 Results As we discussed in our 2005 Form 10-K, in addition to restating our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company restated its financial statements for each of the three quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2005 to correct the accounting treatment of the PresGar equipment lease contract acquired on October 31, 2004, for $13.9 million. This restatement also resulted in a revision of our tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. The impact of the restatement in the three months ended June 30, 2005 is a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million, a reduction in income tax expense of $0.4 million, and an increase in net income of $0.6 million. The impact of the restatement in the six months ended June 30, 2005 is a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.4 million, a reduction in income tax expense of $0.6 million, and an increase in net income of $1.0 million. The financial information contained in this press release reflects these restated amounts. Charges and Gains Radiologix recorded the following pre-tax charges and gains/losses to continuing operations, excluding terminated operations, during the second quarter of 2006 and 2005: * $245,000 in the second quarter of 2006 and $0 in the second quarter of 2005 to record litigation expenses; * $360,000 in the second quarter of 2006 and $112,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to record compensation expense for restricted stock awards and stock options outstanding; and * $55,000 loss in the second quarter of 2006 and $125,000 gain in the second quarter of 2005 to record gains/losses on sales of diagnostic imaging equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, Radiologix recorded the following pre-tax charges and gains to continuing operations, excluding terminated operations: * $245,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to record litigation expenses; * $747,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and $213,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to record compensation expense for restricted stock awards and stock options outstanding; and * $752,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and $450,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to record net gains on sales of diagnostic imaging equipment. Income Taxes Due to losses for the last three years, it is uncertain if our deferred tax assets will be realized. Valuation allowances for net deferred tax assets were recorded in 2004 and 2005. The tax provision of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, is for state income taxes and federal alternative minimum tax. Balance Sheet Cash and cash equivalents were $43.7 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $36.0 million at December 31, 2005, primarily reflecting continued strong cash collections during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash) was $120.9 million at June 30, 2006, compared to net debt of $128.7 million at December 31, 2005. Total debt was $170.3 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 44 days for June 30, 2006 compared to 48 days for December 31, 2005. "We are pleased with our second quarter financial and operational results, as they are in line with our internal expectations and targets. While EBITDA for the quarter is lower than last year's results, this was expected as we concluded the implementation of our REWARD Program at our largest subsidiary, incurred start-up costs associated with the opening of two new imaging centers in California, and recorded $245,000 for litigation expenses," said Sami S. Abbasi, president and chief executive officer of Radiologix. "In addition to our operating progress, we continue to make positive strides towards completing our merger with Primedex Health Systems, and expect to complete the merger during the fourth quarter of this year." Plan of Merger With Primedex Health Systems, Inc. On July 6, 2006, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with Primedex Health Systems, Inc. in which a wholly owned subsidiary of Primedex will merge with and into Radiologix. The transaction will create the largest owner and operator of fixed-site diagnostic imaging centers in the United States, with 131 locations. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which has been approved by each company's Board of Directors, Radiologix shareholders will receive an aggregate consideration of 22,621,922 shares of Primedex common stock and $42.95 million in cash. Based on the July 6 closing price of Primedex common stock of $1.75, each Radiologix shareholder would receive $1.84 in cash for each Radiologix share, plus one share of Primedex common stock for total consideration valued at $3.59. Based upon the July 6 closing price of Primedex common stock of $1.75, Radiologix shareholders will collectively own approximately 33% of the Primedex shares on a fully diluted basis. The merger is expected to be completed in the second half of 2006, subject to regulatory approvals, the approvals of Primedex's and Radiologix's stockholders, as well as other customary closing conditions. Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 As noted in our 2005 Form 10-K, subsequent to December 31, 2005, but prior to the finalization of our 2005 consolidated financial statements, Radiologix placed into operation new controls to address the material weakness we identified in our accounting for lease terminations. These new controls include a more thorough and detailed review of material unusual transactions by senior financial officers, and outside accounting experts if deemed necessary. We believe these new controls have remediated the material weakness that existed as of December 31, 2005, and that these controls operated effectively during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Regulation G: GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Information This release contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with GAAP. Radiologix uses both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure its financial results. We believe that, in addition to GAAP metrics, these non-GAAP metrics assist Radiologix in measuring its cash-based performance. Radiologix believes this information is useful to investors and other interested parties because it removes unusual and nonrecurring charges that occur in the affected period and provides a basis for measuring the Company's financial condition against other quarters. As Radiologix has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, management also believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in its financial reporting. Such information should not be considered as a substitute for any measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures is included in this release in the tables below. Income from continuing operations is defined as income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP. Income from continuing operations excluding terminated operations is defined as income from continuing operations excluding terminated San Antonio and certain Mid-Atlantic operations. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations, plus restricted stock compensation expense, and is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations is defined as EBITDA excluding terminated San Antonio and certain Mid-Atlantic operations. EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations are non-GAAP financial measures used as analytical indicators by Radiologix management and the healthcare industry to assess business performance. They also serve as measures of leverage capacity and ability to service debt. EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations should not be considered measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, these metrics, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
