Management Discussion:
Sandy Young, Chief Executive Officer of Allied, commented, "Allied's Homecare
revenue increased by 17.3%, exceeding our expected growth range of 10-15%. We
continue to believe the current market dynamics, such as an aging population,
the lower cost of Homecare provision and the continued consolidation of local
authority suppliers, all favor growth in demand for our Homecare services. We
also remain positive about the opportunities ahead of our Continuing Care and
Learning Disability businesses.
"We have noticed recently that some local authorities and Primary Care Trusts
are using consultants to review pricing and margins. This is to be expected with
the current public sector debt levels and anticipated controls on spending after
this year's U.K. elections. We will continue to monitor this closely.
"The deterioration in our Nursing Homes business continues and although we have
trialed some growth projects, there is no clear sign of any improvement to this
business as the market for Nursing Homes services, in general, appears to be
depressed.
"Our Hospitals business revenues decreased by 7.8%. However, our London hospital
staffing branch, which represents over 70% of our Hospitals revenue, grew by
over 50% and was successful in maintaining a gross profit percentage similar to
that of the prior year. However, this was offset by significant declines in our
regional Hospitals business, which traditionally was at higher margins. We
believe that our plan to open a dedicated Hospitals branch in the Midlands
region is a sensible approach to growing this regional business on a similar
model as our London operation. If successful, we will consider extending this
hub approach into other key cities.
"We continue to make investments to improve our service and quality, and our IT
rollout continues as planned with a targeted completion date in the second half
of 2011. At that stage, we will have a standard IT platform across our branches
which will allow us to utilize technology to a much greater extent in the
administration, management and control of our care services. To date we have
over 30 branches utilizing the new system and we incurred operating expenses
associated with the Coldharbour project of $0.3 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2010 as compared to $0.1 million in the same quarter last year."
Mr. Young concluded, "Following completion of the capital resources review by
Piper Jaffray, the Board has concluded that the Company is well placed in an
expanding market to pursue accretive strategic acquisitions in the near term. In
addition to these acquisition opportunities, the Company continues to focus on
organic growth and enhancing shareholder value."
Paul Weston, Chief Financial Officer of Allied, said, "We are pleased with our
financial performance during the quarter. Our strong financial condition with a
cash balance at the end of the quarter of $35.8 million (GBP22.5 million) and
positive cash flow provides our Company with sufficient resources to fund our
strategic initiatives and expand our market footprint."
