PDG Litigation Settlement Accounting

As previously reported, the Company completed the settlement of the litigation with PDG effective February 29, 2008. As part of this settlement, the Company transferred the operating assets of 25 dental facilities to PDG. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $30,127,000 which represents the fair market value of the assets transferred to PDG of $39,968,000 less the book value of the net assets transferred of $9,205,000 and litigation expenses of approximately $636,000.

Prior to the transfer of the 25 facilities to PDG, the Company recognized as net revenue expense reimbursement of $6,423,000 from PDG for the operating expenses of these facilities through February 29, 2008, along with operating expenses of the PDG dentists who remain, on a temporary basis, in the dental facilities retained by the Company.

As part of the settlement of the litigation with PDG, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with PDG in which PDG will pay the Company $19,000,000 for continuing interim management services through September 30, 2008. PDG is obligated to pay this transition management services fee in 12 equal monthly installments in 2008 irrespective of whether it utilizes such services. The Company will recognize $10,000,000 of this amount as net revenue from January to September 2008, and the remainder, which was deemed to be in excess of fair market value for providing such management services, was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007 as an offset to the non-cash litigation settlement expense.

Operating Results

Patient revenue of the Company's affiliated dental group practices increased 9% to $107,374,000 for the quarter, which includes $101,252,000 from dental group practices which are affiliated with the Company by means of service agreements and $6,122,000 from Arizona's Tooth Doctor for Kids. Same market patient revenue growth was 9.8% for the quarter and 2.3% excluding in-market affiliations.

Cash flow from operations was $971,000 for the quarter. Capital expenditures were $3,929,000 for the quarter. The Company completed two de novo facilities and expanded and/or relocated three dental facilities during the quarter. Amounts paid for acquisitions and affiliations, including affiliation costs and deferred and contingent payments, were $2,376,000 for the quarter. During the quarter, the Company completed one affiliation which generates approximately $1,700,000 of patient revenue on an annualized basis.

Cash net earnings and pro forma adjustments related to disposed assets are non-GAAP financial measures.

(a) Includes expense reimbursement associated with (i) 25 dental facilities
    transferred to PDG as part of the litigation settlement and (ii) PDG
    doctors currently practicing in six dental facilities retained by the
    Company.
(b) The Company has agreed to provide interim management services to PDG
    through September 30, 2008.  Includes interim management fee revenue,
    expenses associated with providing such services, and salaries and
    benefits expense, including severance, of management staff who have
    been terminated as a result of realigning the Company's Minnesota-based
    management team.
(c) Includes gain on disposal of assets of $30,763,000 and professional
    fees associated with PDG litigation of $636,000.
(d) Cash net earnings and diluted cash net earnings per share are not
    measures of financial performance under GAAP.  Cash net earnings
    excludes amortization expense related to intangible assets, net of tax.
    The Company incurs significant amortization expense related to its
    service agreements while many companies, both in the same industry and
    other industries, no longer amortize a significant portion of their
    intangible assets pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  The Company
    believes that cash net earnings and diluted cash net earnings per share
    are important financial measures for understanding its relative
    financial performance.
