For example, statements regarding the Company’s financial outlook, and the timing, closing, manner of payment and financial impact of the pending transaction contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual future results to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the ability to complete the transaction in a timely manner or at all (which may adversely affect the Company’s business and the price of the common stock of the Company), the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction (including the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals), any requirements that may be imposed by governmental or regulatory authorities as a condition to approving the transaction, adjustments to the purchase price, the ability to achieve expected synergies within the expected time frames or at all, the ability to achieve accretion to the Company’s earnings, revenues or other benefits expected, disruption to business relationships, operating results, and business generally of the Company and/or the Meridian Group and the ability to retain Meridian Group employees, the availability of debt and equity financing, the Company’s progress on top priorities such as improving healthcare quality and access, ensuring a competitive cost position, and delivering prudent, profitable growth, the Company’s ability to effectively estimate and manage growth, the Company’s ability to effectively execute and integrate acquisitions, potential reductions in Medicaid and Medicare revenue, the Company’s ability to estimate and manage medical benefits expense effectively, including through its vendors, its ability to negotiate actuarially sound rates, especially in new programs with limited experience, the appropriation and payment by state governments of Medicaid premiums receivable, the outcome of any protests and litigation related to Medicaid awards, the approval of Medicaid contracts by CMS, any changes to the programs or contracts, the Company’s ability to address operational challenges related to new business, and the Company’s ability to meet the requirements of readiness reviews. Given the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, any of the Company’s forward-looking statements could be incorrect and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements.

Additional information concerning these and other important risks and uncertainties can be found in the Company’s filings with the SEC, included under the captions “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, which contain discussions of the Company’s business and the various factors that may affect it.

Basis of Presentation Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to results determined under GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful in assessing our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have provided a reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Earnings per share, net income and, as noted below, other specific operating and financial measures have been adjusted for the effect of certain expenses and, as appropriate, the related tax effect for: • previously disclosed government investigations and related litigation and resolution costs (“investigation costs”) (2014-2018); • amortization expense associated with acquisitions (“acquisition-related amortization expenses”) (2015-2018); • certain one-time transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Universal American and the pending acquisition of Meridian (“transaction and integration costs”) (2017-2018); • transitory costs related to the company’s decision to change its pharmacy benefit manager (“PBM”) as of January 1, 2016 (“PBM transitory costs”) (2015-2016); • certain nonrecurring Iowa-related SG&A expenses relating to readiness costs, certain wind-down costs of WellCare's Iowa operations and certain legal costs (“Iowa SG&A costs”) (2015-2016); • costs related to the divestiture of Sterling (“Sterling divestiture costs”) (2015-2016); • the effect of a gain on the divestiture of Sterling and changes to the gain (“Sterling gain”) (2015); • the costs associated with the redemption of the company’s 2020 notes, including the early redemption premium, write-off of associated deferred financing costs and write-off of associated premiums paid on the 2020 notes (“loss on extinguishment of debt”) (2017); and • the tax effect of the deferred tax revaluation after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was enacted in December 2017 (“deferred tax revaluation”) (2017). Although the excluded items may recur, we believe that by providing non-GAAP measures exclusive of these items, it facilitates period-over-period comparisons and provides additional clarity about events and trends affecting our core operating performance, as well as providing comparability to competitor results. The investigation costs are related to a discrete incident which management does not expect to reoccur. We have adjusted for acquisition-related amortization expenses as these transactions do not directly relate to the servicing of products for our customers and are not directly related to the core performance of our business operations. The other costs mentioned above are related to specific events, which do not reflect the underlying ongoing performance of the business. In addition, because reimbursements for Medicaid premium tax and the ACA industry fee are both included in the premium rates or reimbursement established in certain Medicaid contracts and also recognized separately as a component of expense, we exclude these reimbursements from premium revenue when calculating key ratios as we believe that these components are not indicative of operating performance. Following is a description of the adjustments made to GAAP measures used to calculate the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation. Adjusted premium revenue (non-GAAP) = Total premium revenue (GAAP) less Medicaid premium taxes revenue and Medicaid reimbursements of the ACA industry fee. The company’s adjusted Medicaid Health Plans segment premium revenue uses this non-GAAP definition of adjusted premium revenue. MBR (GAAP) = medical benefits expense divided by total premium revenue (GAAP). Adjusted MBR (non-GAAP) = medical benefits expense divided by adjusted premium revenue. The company’s adjusted Medicaid Health Plans segment MBR uses this non-GAAP definition of adjusted MBR. SG&A expense ratio (GAAP) = SG&A expense (GAAP) divided by total premium revenue (GAAP). Adjusted SG&A expense (non-GAAP) = SG&A expense (GAAP) less investigation costs, transaction and integration costs, PBM transitory costs, Iowa SG&A costs, and Sterling divestiture costs. Adjusted SG&A ratio (non-GAAP) = adjusted SG&A expense divided by adjusted premium revenue. Adjusted depreciation & amortization (non-GAAP) = depreciation & amortization expense (GAAP) less acquisition-related amortization expenses. Adjusted income before taxes (non-GAAP) = income before income taxes (GAAP) less investigation costs, acquisition-related amortization expenses, transaction and integration costs, PBM transitory costs, Iowa SG&A costs, Sterling divestiture costs, Sterling gain, and loss on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted income tax expense (non-GAAP) = income tax associated with the applicable adjusted income before taxes, based on the applicable effective income tax rate, and the deferred tax revaluation. Adjusted effective income tax rate (non-GAAP) = adjusted income tax expense divided by adjusted income before taxes. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) = adjusted income before taxes less adjusted income tax expense. Net income margin (GAAP) = net income (GAAP) divided by total premium revenue (GAAP). Adjusted net income margin (non-GAAP) = adjusted net income divided by adjusted premium revenue. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP) = Adjusted net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis. 19Basis of Presentation Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to results determined under GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful in assessing our performance.

Caidan Enterprises, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiaries consist of Caidan Management Company, LLC (Caidan Management Company), MeridianRx, LLC (MeridianRx), and Caidan Holding Company, Inc.; Caidan Management Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries consist of Building Amenities Cafeteria, LLC, Building Amenities Wellness Center, LLC, and Building Amenities Day Care, LLC; Caidan Holding Company, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiaries consist of Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). The Meridian Health Plan entities cited above operate as state-licensed health maintenance organizations, which provide medical services to persons in the respective states who subscribe as recipients of state and federal health benefits under various Medicaid and Medicare plans. Caidan Management Company is a licensed third-party administrator. Caidan Management Company provides management and administrative services to Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc., and MeridianRx, LLC.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Caidan Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Caidan Holding Company, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc., MeridianRx, LLC, and Caidan Management Company, LLC and subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances at seven financial institutions. Cash balances at both December 31, 2017 and 2016 are in excess of FDIC limits, resulting in amounts being uninsured and uncollateralized. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Uncollected Premiums

Health capitation premiums are recognized in the period members are entitled to related healthcare services. Uncollected capitation balances are due from the states of Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa at year end. Since 2015, the State of Illinois has experienced a budget impasse which was resolved in 2017 but has impacted the timeliness of funding for state programs. The Illinois Department of Human Services consented to a court decree ordering operation and fulfillment of provisions under the federal Medicaid act. The court order required the State of Illinois to pay all Medicaid providers as if there were no state budget impasse. The Company believes all uncollected premiums will be realized, therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Healthcare Receivables

The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on management’s assessment of amounts that remain unpaid as of year end. Balances are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine amounts that may not be collectible based on a specific assessment of each outstanding balance and the customer or provider from which it’s due. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period that such determination is made. At December 31, 2017, management recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,304,610 related to a healthcare receivable balance on a shared-savings arrangement effective as of January 1, 2017. Management believes all receivables are fully collectible at December 31, 2016; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established. The year-end receivable is comprised of the ACA fee reimbursements, shared savings from risk-sharing provisions, trade accounts receivable, and other receivables (see Note 18).

In 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., is entitled to shared-savings compensation based on targeted medical loss ratio percentages specified within certain contracts. If the providers do not meet prescribed medical loss ratios, they share in the excess costs, and a healthcare receivable is recorded if deemed collectible by management. The Company estimates an amount receivable related to these risk-sharing provisions, which is recorded as a healthcare receivable at December 31, 2017.

The Company recorded accounts receivable related to pharmaceutical benefit management services provided to unaffiliated customers. Accounts receivable are stated at net invoice amounts. All amounts are considered fully collectible at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Accrued Interest

The Company’s subsidiary, Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc. records interest income in accordance with the Illinois State Prompt Payment Act. At December 31, 2017, interest receivable of $26,894,536 is due from the State of Illinois based on overdue capitation premiums. Interest of 1.0 percent of any amount approved and unpaid after a 90-day period from the due date shall be added for each month, or 0.033 percent of any amount approved and unpaid for each day after the end of this 90-day period until final payment is made, commensurate with the Illinois State Prompt Payment Act. The Illinois Prompt Pay Law requires the Company to pay providers within a specified time period. Due to delayed capitation receipts from the State of Illinois, the Company incurred interest expense for amounts owed to providers on unpaid claims. At December 31, 2017, the Company reported a liability within other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet of $15,078,157 for interest due to providers on unpaid claims.

The Company reports other accrued interest income at December 31, 2017 and 2016 of $1,881,763 and $1,686,336, respectively.

Investments

Investments in debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are measured at fair value.

Unrealized holding gains and losses net of the related tax effect are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity until realized. Impairment losses due to a decline in the value of the investment that is other than temporary are recognized when incurred. There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses in 2017 and 2016 on debt and equity securities.

Investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies are recorded at fair value, measured at net asset value. Net asset value is provided by the general partners and managers of the companies. The general partners and managers of these companies may at times use estimates in determining the fair value of the underlying assets, and actual results could differ from those estimates. These investments consist primarily of hedge fund limited partnerships and real estate limited liability companies.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cost is determined on the specific identification method for computing realized gains and losses on the sale of investments.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of assets under capital lease is computed using the straight-line method over the term of the lease and is included in depreciation and amortization expense. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Internally Developed Software

The Company capitalizes costs incurred in the development of claims processing software for internal use, including the costs of materials, contractors, payroll, and payroll-related costs for employees. Amortization of the capitalized software costs for modules placed in service in 2017 was $696,728. There was no amortization of the capitalized software costs in 2016 as the software was not placed in service. The net book value of internally developed software at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $15,214,087 and $8,501,954, respectively. The Company assigned an estimated useful life of 10 years for the internally developed software.

Deferred Rent

The Company received a parking incentive related to one of its office leases and has leases with scheduled increases in monthly rents over the lease terms. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, taking into account the parking incentive and escalating lease payments. As a result of the recognition of rent on a straight-line basis, the Company has recorded a deferred rent liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2017, the deferred rent liability is composed of $268,986 related to the parking incentive and $3,794,055 related to escalating lease payments. At December 31, 2016, the deferred rent liability is composed of $302,610 related to the parking incentive and $3,338,393 related to escalating lease payments.

Income Taxes

A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the year. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between book and tax accounting methods. Differences between statutory tax rates applied to pretax book income and current tax expense are attributable to nondeductible expenses and net unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income.

Caidan Management Company and MeridianRx are single-member limited liability companies (LLCs), wholly owned by Caidan Enterprises, Inc. Caidan Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, is an S corporation. Generally, the income of LLCs and S corporations is not subject to federal income tax at the corporate level, but rather the stockholders are required to include a pro rata share of the corporation’s taxable income or loss in their personal income tax returns, irrespective of whether dividends have been paid. Accordingly, the Company does not incur or reflect federal tax expense attributable to Caidan Enterprises, Inc., Caidan Management Company, LLC, or MeridianRx, LLC.

Caidan Holding Company, Inc. files a consolidated federal tax return with wholly owned subsidiaries Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc., all of which are C corporations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The effects of tax positions are generally recognized in the consolidated financial statements consistent with amounts reflected in returns filed, or expected to be filed, with taxing authorities. Management evaluates the Company’s exposure for uncertain tax positions at each reporting period. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, management believes the Company has no material uncertain tax positions and, therefore, no such liabilities have been recorded. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were not significant. There were no significant penalties or interest recognized during the year or accrued at year end.

Other Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, however, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a direct adjustment to the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are considered components of comprehensive income.

Accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2017 and 2016 is composed of unrealized gains or losses, net of federal income tax, on available-for-sale securities. Reclassification adjustments out of other comprehensive income are composed of realized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities in the amount of $327,223 and $(99,909), the tax impact of which is approximately $106,000 and $(44,000) for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Reclassification

Certain 2016 amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2017 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on consolidated net income or stockholders’ equity.

Premium Revenue Recognition and Uncollected Premiums

Capitation premium revenue is recognized in the period members are entitled to related healthcare services. Premium revenue is earned through the Company’s various Medicaid and Medicare contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the states of Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. The Medicare and Medicaid contracts establish fixed, monthly premium rates per member, which are generally determined at the beginning of each new contract renewal period. However, premiums may be adjusted by CMS and the state agencies throughout the term of the contracts in certain cases. Premium rate changes are recognized in the period the change becomes effective, when the effect of the change is reasonably estimable, and collection is assured. The Company also earns supplemental premium revenue (maternity case rate) for each newborn birth. This revenue is recognized in the period the services are provided to the member.

Expected premium revenue is based on membership files received from CMS and state agencies with which the Company has Medicaid contracts, and the contracted premium rates per member. These membership files are compared to payments received to determine whether the Company has been paid the correct premium category and program. Uncollected Premiums are recorded for the difference between expected revenue and amounts collected. The effects of member retroactivity is recorded in the period the changes in membership are identified.

Certain Medicaid and Medicare premiums are subject to a risk adjustment arrangement whereby premiums will be retroactively risk adjusted based on the risk scores of the members. The Company recognizes changes to risk-adjusted premiums as revenue in the period amounts are determinable. See Note 16 for additional information on retrospectively rated contracts and contracts subject to redetermination.

Pharmacy Revenue and Cost of Revenue Recognition

Pharmacy expense is recognized at the time prescriptions are dispensed by pharmacies in the Company’s network to eligible members and consists primarily of ingredient costs and dispensing fees paid to retail pharmacies with which the Company has contracted.

Caidan Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Pharmacy revenue from unaffiliated entities consists of the prescription price (ingredient cost plus dispensing fee) negotiated with the retail pharmacies with which the Company has contracted, including the portion to be settled directly by the member (co-payment), plus any associated administrative fees. This revenue is recognized when the claim is processed. The Company has the contractual obligation to pay network pharmacies for benefits provided to participating members and, therefore, acts as principal in the arrangement and reflects the total prescription price as revenue in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.

Rebate Accounting

The Company receives certain rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers, which are recorded as a reduction of pharmacy expense. The Company records rebates and administrative fees receivable from the manufacturer when the prescriptions covered under contractual agreements with the manufacturers are dispensed; these amounts are not dependent upon future pharmaceutical sales.

Concentration Risk - Revenue

The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived under the various Medicaid programs in Michigan and Illinois, the Medicare-Medicaid Alignment Initiative Plan in Illinois, and MI Health Link Plan in Michigan. The Company’s current Medicaid contract with the State of Michigan is in effect through December 31, 2020 with three one-year extensions. The Company’s MI Health Link Plan contract with the State of Michigan is in effect through December 31, 2018 with one-year renewal options for an additional two years. The Company’s Medicaid contract with the State of Illinois expires on January 1, 2022 with renewal options for an additional four years. The Medicare-Medicaid Alignment Initiative Plan contract expires on December 31, 2019.

Recognition of Healthcare Service Costs

Healthcare service costs and related liabilities are recorded when medical services are provided to eligible members. The accrued healthcare costs payable include an actuarially determined estimate of the ultimate cost of settling claims.

Direct medical expenses include amounts paid or payable to hospitals, physicians, and providers of ancillary services. Recorded direct medical expenses are reduced by the amount of pharmacy rebates earned, subrogation recoveries, member co-pays, other cost-sharing amounts, and amounts due from contracted providers under risk-sharing and/or value-based arrangements. Certain administrative costs provided by outside service providers, including utilization review services, care coordination, and case management, are recorded in general and administrative expense.

The Company uses actuarial principles and assumptions that are consistently applied each reporting period and recognizes the actuarial best estimate of the ultimate accrued healthcare costs payable along with a margin for adverse deviation. When actual experience differs from prior estimates, accrued healthcare costs are adjusted through current year program expenses.

Accrued healthcare costs payable are developed using a combination of development (i.e., “completion factors”) approach and projection approach. The Company calculates total projected claims for each month by multiplying the projected per member per month (PMPM) costs for each month by the total members for that month. The Company then calculates the outstanding incurred claims by subtracting the claims paid for incurral month from the total projected claims. The Company applies the projection method for recent months where lag completion data is particularly volatile.

The development method estimates the portion of claims that have been paid to date for each incurral month based on past claim lag data, which reflects historic time lags in medical claim data between the month of service and the month of claim processing. This approach was used for months with sufficient claim runout.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company evaluated both the level and the trend in incurred claims PMPM. The completion factors reflect the Company’s best estimates for the current pattern of incurred claim emergence and deemed consistent with observed patterns of seasonal claim variation and current PMPM claim cost trends.

Physician and Hospital Contracts

Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc. contract directly with physicians, physician groups, and hospitals for the provision of medical care and compensate the providers on either a capitation or fee-for-service basis.

The Company participates in transfer payment programs with the states of Michigan and Illinois. Amounts paid and received from these programs are recognized as agency transactions under deposit accounting for uninsured activity.

Funds Maintained Under Statutory Requirements

Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc. maintain segregated funds under statutory or contractual requirements to protect members and healthcare providers in the event the Company is unable to meet its contractual obligations. These funds can be used only at the direction of the State of Michigan, State of Illinois, and State of Iowa, respectively, in accordance with statutory provisions. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, $2,649,509 and $2,642,237, respectively, was held in cash equivalents, municipal obligations, and U.S. Treasury bills to fulfill these requirements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable, line of credit, stock redemption payable, notes payable, and capital lease obligations. The carrying amount of all significant financial instruments approximates fair value due to either the short maturity or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-09, Disclosures about Short -Duration Contracts , which expands disclosures for the Company’s insurance contracts. The disclosures required by this update increase transparency of significant estimates made in measuring the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, improve comparability by requiring consistent disclosure of information, and provide financial statement users with information to facilitate analysis of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from insurance contracts and the development of claim reserve estimates. The new guidance was adopted as of December 31, 2017 as disclosed within Note 8.

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Upcoming Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which will supersede the current revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition . The ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2019. The ASU permits application of the new revenue recognition guidance to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods. The majority of the Company’s consolidated revenue is derived from insurance contracts, which are specifically excluded from the scope of ASU No. 2014-09. Therefore, the new guidance will primarily impact the Company’s pharmacy revenue. Performance obligations associated with customer contracts of the Company are completed within one year. Consideration received for performance obligations is fixed based on ingredient costs, dispensing fees, and administrative fees for claims processing, all of which relate to the pharmacy revenue. The Company has not completed its analysis; however, it does not foresee significant revisions to contracts based on adoption of the new standard, and a full retrospective method will be applied. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments , which requires equity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This amendment also simplifies the impairment test of equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The Company anticipates adoption in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2018; however, it does not foresee a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases , that is expected to significantly change the accounting for both operating and capital lease contracts. The standard introduces a “right-to-use” approach to lease accounting. In essence, the proposed standard eliminates the off-balance-sheet accounting currently used for operating leases. This model would result in the recognition of a liability for payments due under the lease contract and a corresponding asset representing the right to use the underlying asset. Under U.S. GAAP, most leases currently classified as capital/financing leases would recognize amortization expense related to the “right-to-use” asset separately from interest expense related to the lease liability. Conversely, most leases currently classified as operating leases would not separate amortization expense from interest expense and would rather recognize a single “total lease expense.” The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2020. The Company anticipates adoption in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 and expects leased items, as disclosed in Note 13, to be reported as long-term assets with a corresponding liability for the lease commitments using a modified retrospective transition method to the beginning of the earliest period presented. The new lease standard is expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a result of the leases classified as operating leases. The effects on the results of operations are not expected to be significant as recognition and measurement of expenses and cash flows for leases will be substantially the same under the new standard.

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) , which requires entities to use a current expected credit loss model, which is a new impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this model, companies would recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows that the entity does not expect to collect from financial assets measured at amortized cost. The estimate would consider relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, which will result in recognition of lifetime expected credit losses upon loan origination. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash. This update requires entities to reconcile, on the statement of cash flows, changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities . This guidance shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, premiums and discounts on callable debt securities are generally amortized to the maturity date. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the effect this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, but the effect is not expected to be material.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which allows entities to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates exist relating to the accrual for healthcare costs and fair value of investments. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates will be materially revised in the near term.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 3 - Investments in Debt and Equity Securities - Fair Value (Continued)

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the portfolio had 133 and 152 securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position. The Company evaluated its investments with unrealized losses for impairment at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Based on the evaluation and the Company’s ability and intent to hold those investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.

In instances whereby inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The following summarizes the valuation methodology used in determining fair value measurements of the significant classes of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Level 1 Measurements

 

    Common Stocks  - The fair value of these funds is based upon the unadjusted quoted prices for the identical security in active markets that the Company can access.

 

    Mutual Funds and Money Market Mutual Funds - The Company values its mutual funds and money market funds using net asset value of the funds. The net asset value of the funds is determined and published as a basis for current transactions and considered fair value.

Level 2 Measurements

 

    Debt Securities - U.S. Government and States - The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, and credit spreads

 

    Debt Securities - Corporate - The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, and credit spreads.

 

    Debt Securities - Residential Mortgage -backed - The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, and credit spreads.

Level 3 Measurements

 

    Limited Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies - The Company values its investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies using net asset values that are provided by the general partners and managers of the companies. The net asset value is determined based on the fair value of the underlying assets, and is considered fair value.

Note 5 - Investment in Joint Ventures

Note 8 - Accrued Healthcare Costs Payable

The estimated reserve for claims incurred but not reported has been determined by an independent actuary. Although management believes that the provision for accrued healthcare costs payable is adequate, no assurance can be given that the ultimate settlements of these liabilities may not be greater or less than such estimates. Any future adjustments to these amounts will affect the reported results of future periods.

For the purpose of the table above, accrued healthcare costs payable at year end apply a balance gross of eliminations of $31,873,002 and $59,627,550 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for amounts due from the health plans to MeridianRx, LLC. Total incurred amounts relating to amounts administered by MeridianRx, LLC for pharmacy costs totaling $550,192,811 and $466,322,979 for 2017 and 2016, respectively, are eliminated upon consolidation. Therefore, the balances in the table above are representative of the amounts incurred by the Meridian Health Plans and payable to hospitals and medical providers, as well as MeridianRx, LLC, and will not reflect accrued healthcare costs payable on the consolidated balance sheet or program expenses for healthcare delivery on the consolidated statement of operations as of December 31, 2017 or 2016 due to the eliminations noted above.

Reserves for incurred claims and claims adjustment expenses attributable to insured events of prior years changed in 2017 and 2016 as a result of claims development patterns emerging differently than originally estimated. The favorable development recognized in 2017 of $22.5 million is largely related to Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc.’s MI Health Link and Medicaid program and the costs and claim submissions for a subset of membership within those programs not developing at the rate assumed when establishing the accrued healthcare costs payable. The unfavorable development in 2016 of $3.3 million was a combination of favorable development within the Michigan Medicaid populations resulting from lower than expected utilization and unfavorable development within the Illinois Medicaid populations as a result of completion factors and claim submission and payment patterns not developing as originally assumed. Original estimates are increased or decreased as additional information becomes known regarding individual claims.

Note 11 - Notes Payable and Lines of Credit

In August 2015, Caidan Enterprises, Inc., Caidan Holding Company, Inc., Caidan Management Company, LLC, and MeridianRx, LLC, collectively as co-borrowers, entered into a revolving credit and draw to term loan agreement that expires on August 25, 2020. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the co-borrowers, and the obligation is joint and several between these parties. The revolving credit facility allows maximum borrowings of $150,000,000 with interest at the base rate plus 0.50 percent or Eurodollar base rate plus 1.50 percent, as elected by management. The draw to term loan allows maximum borrowing of $100,000,000. Borrowings bear interest at the base rate plus 1.25 percent or Eurodollar base rate of 2.25 percent, as elected by management. At December 31, 2016, the outstanding amount on the revolving credit facility and draw to term loan was $127,157,681 and $95,000,000, respectively.

In May 2017 the co-borrowers entered into a new credit agreement and terminated the aforementioned agreement. The new credit agreement expires on August 25, 2020 with automatic extensions through May 2, 2022 that are contingent upon renewal of the Medicaid contract between Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The new revolving credit facility allows maximum borrowings of $175,000,000 with interest at the base rate plus 0.50 to 1.50 percent or the Eurodollar base rate plus 1.00 to 2.50 percent, as elected by management and determined by the net funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a facility fee of 0.75 percent per annum. At December 31, 2017, the outstanding amount on the revolving credit facility was $82,112,006, with an available balance of $92,887,994. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all assets of the co-borrowers, and the obligation is joint and several between these parties.

The new draw to term loan allows maximum aggregate borrowings of $150,000,000. Borrowings bear interest at the base rate plus 0.75 to 2.25 percent or the Eurodollar base rate plus 1.75 to 3.25 percent, as elected by management and determined by the net funded debt to EBITDA ratio. Monthly interest payments and quarterly principal payments commence in June 2017. At December 31, 2017, the outstanding amount on the draw to term loan was $138,750,000.

Note 11 - Notes Payable and Lines of Credit (Continued)

The revolving credit and draw to term loan agreement contains covenants, the most restrictive of which are fixed-charge coverage ratio, minimum consolidated net income, funded debt to capitalization ratio, and funded debt to EBITDA ratio. Compliance with those covenants is calculated on a combined basis including the co-borrowers. The agreement also limits the amount of annual shareholder distributions to 60 percent or 45 percent of S-Corporation taxable income for the Company’s fiscal year based on whether the net funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00 or greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 the Company’s net funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00.

The new credit agreement also extended additional credit to Meridian Health Plan of Illinois through an ABL credit facility of $150,000,000, which is collateralized by all eligible receivables due from the State of Illinois. In November 2017, the credit facility was amended to release MHP–IL as a borrower and remove the provision of the ABL credit facility. The amendment also consented to MHP-IL’s separate financing agreement while also releasing the collateralized eligible accounts of MHP-IL.

Effective November 3, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., entered into a revolving loan credit facility which allows maximum borrowings of $600,000,000. The commitment termination date is the earlier of November 3, 2019 or the date on which the State of Illinois rating is downgraded to a Ba1, BB+, or BB+ by Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch, respectively. Outstanding balances are due on October 31, 2067. At December 31, 2017, $208,883 was outstanding under the facility which is offset by unamortized loan acquisition costs of $229,816. Additional unpaid accrued interest of $542,814 is outstanding at December 31, 2017. Repayments of outstanding balances are applied as state capitation payments are received on eligible accounts receivable that are included in the borrowing base for amounts outstanding at date of receipt. Interest of 1.0 percent of any amount approved and unpaid after a 90-day period from the due date shall be added for each month, or 0.033 percent of any amount approved and unpaid for each day after the end of this 90-day period until final payment is made, commensurate with the Illinois State Prompt Payment Act, and is paid only upon receipt of such prompt payment penalties from the State of Illinois. The revolving loan credit facility is also subject to certain financial covenants including a risk-based capital ratio and minimum net worth requirements. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by all eligible receivables due from the State.

The Company entered into a promissory note for $4,900,000 in 2017 for the purchase of property. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 4.0 percent, with interest payments due in monthly installments beginning in January 2017. Final principal payment, along within any outstanding accrued interest, shall be due in January 2021. The note is secured by a security agreement and mortgage. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2017 is $4,900,000.

At December 31, 2017, future minimum payments on the term loan and promissory note are as follows:

Federal deferred tax liabilities result principally from unrealized investment gains and basis differences in equity method investments. Federal and state deferred tax assets result from recognition of expenses for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes until paid, discounting of claims reserves, and unrealized investment losses. No valuation allowance has been recognized for deferred tax assets in 2017 and 2016.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law. Among other changes, the TCJA reduces the corporate federal income tax rate to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company was required to revalue its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the enactment date based on the new tax rate. The revision resulted in a reduction to the carried net deferred tax asset on December 22, 2017 with a corresponding increase to income tax expense.

Contributions to the plan totaled $3,792,808 and $2,959,485 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note 15 - Guarantees

At December 31, 2017, the Company guarantees three separate loan agreements obtained by a company in which it owns a 33 percent interest. The loan agreements are also guaranteed by five other companies that have an ownership interest in the entity, and the obligation under the guarantee is joint and several between these six parties. The three notes allow borrowings up to $5,150,726, $16,135,947, and $973,500. Each guarantor’s obligation is limited to 50 percent of the amount outstanding on the loans, times its ownership percentage in the company, of which the Company’s is 33 percent.

At December 31, 2017, Caidan Enterprises, Inc. guarantees two loans obtained by a company in which its subsidiary, Caidan Management Company, owns a 50 percent interest. The loans are also guaranteed by the other 50 percent owner and the obligation under the guarantees are joint and several between these two parties. In the event of default, and only if certain conditions exist, Caidan Enterprises, Inc. and the other unrelated entity would be obligated, jointly and severally, under the terms of the guarantee to settle the debt. The total outstanding balance on the loans is $125,000,000 at December 31, 2017. This guarantee agreement requires Caidan Enterprises, Inc. to maintain certain financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum amount of liquid assets, as well meeting certain net worth requirements.

In the event of default on the loans, the Company could be obligated to repay its share of the amounts outstanding on the loan agreements. As of December 31, 2017, the maximum potential future obligations under these guarantees total $128,672,928. In the event the Company is required to make payments under these guarantees, the Company could seek to recover those amounts from the primary obligors of the debt; however, the Company does not hold specific recourse or collateral rights in connection with these guarantees. As of December 31, 2017, the Company is unaware of any circumstances that would require performance under these guarantees.

Note 16 - Retrospectively Rated Contracts and Contracts Subject to Redetermination

As part of the Company’s subsidiaries’ (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc.) contract for services under various Medicare plans with CMS under Medicare Part D, the parties have agreed to a risk-sharing arrangement whereby the amount the Company receives in premiums from members and CMS is compared to actual drug costs incurred during the contract year. Based on the risk-sharing provision and activity to date, an estimated risk-sharing payable or receivable is recorded as an adjustment to premium revenue. An estimate for accrued retrospective premiums receivable of $3,435,283 and $2,397,259 has been recorded at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates upon final determination.

As part of the Company’s subsidiaries’ (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc.) contract for services under the MI Health Link Plan, Medicare-Medicaid Alignment Initiative Plans, Medicare Advantage Plans, and Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan with CMS, the parties have agreed to a risk adjustment arrangement whereby premiums will be retroactively risk adjusted based on the risk scores of the members. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has recorded a risk adjustment receivable of $10,532,763 and $8,225,325, respectively, from CMS, which is recorded in accrued retrospective premiums on the consolidated balance sheet.

As part of the Company’s subsidiary’s (Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc.) contract for Medicaid services under the Family Health Plan, Affordable Care Act, and Integrated Care Programs with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS), the parties have agreed to a risk adjustment arrangement whereby premiums will be retroactively risk adjusted based on the risk scores of the members. The risk adjustment factor is estimated based on experience to date and determinations of the Company’s risk score versus the overall geographical market risk score. The risk adjustment factor is a component of the monthly capitation premiums received from HFS and, therefore, any receivable or payable balance is recorded within uncollected premiums on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s subsidiary (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc.) is subject to components of the risk-sharing provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). At December 31, 2017 and 2016, a risk-sharing payable of $8,400,000 and $3,541,000, respectively, was recorded in aggregate health policy reserves on the consolidated balance sheet for the ACA risk-sharing provisions. Risk adjustment user fees included in general administrative expenses were $795,088 and $325,955 in 2017 and 2016, respectively. The final determination of 2017 program payables and receivables will be determined no earlier than June 30, 2018 by the federal government. The final determination of the 2016 program resulted in a $2,543,153 payment and a favorable adjustment of $997,847 compared to the estimate reported at December 31, 2016. Although management believes the amount recorded at December 31, 2017 to be reasonable in light of the quality and availability of the data, management also believes the ultimate settlement of these amounts could be significantly different from the estimate.

As part of the Company’s subsidiary’s (Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc.) contract for services under the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan with the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS), the parties have agreed to a risk-corridor arrangement based on the medical loss ratio for this population. The Company is required to refund premiums to DHS to the extent that the medical loss ratio falls below 85 percent in 2016 and prior years. DHS will reimburse the Company for medical costs resulting in the medical loss ratio being in excess of 87.5 percent in 2016 and prior years. At December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded an amount due to DHS of $1,292,576. There was no amount reported at December 31, 2017. While management believes these estimates are accurate, it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate will occur in the near term as a result of actual loss experience differing from projected loss experience.

The Company has miscellaneous risk-sharing receivables of $35,982 and $169,943 recorded in accrued retrospective premiums on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Miscellaneous payables recorded in aggregate health policy reserves related to other risk-sharing provisions within effective contracts amount to $3,621,510 and $2,930,006 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note 17 - Uninsured Plans

The Company’s subsidiaries (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc.) serve as plan sponsors offering Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage under various contracts with CMS. Under the Medicare Part D program, several elements of payments received by the Company, including the reinsurance subsidy and the low-income cost-sharing subsidy, represent cost reimbursements under the Medicare Part D program. Amounts owing or received for these subsidies are not reflected as premiums, but rather are accounted for as a receivable and/or deposit. Total reimbursements for pharmacy benefit costs were $64,337,038 and $59,603,616 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These amounts represent pharmacy benefit cost reimbursements for the reinsurance subsidy and the low-income cost-sharing subsidy elements of the Medicare Part D program.

The Company estimated amounts receivable (payable) between state contracts in connection with the Company’s Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage of $11,000,688 and $(69,306), respectively, at December 31, 2017, and $11,943,580 and $(45,518), respectively, at December 31, 2016. Subsequent to the end of the plan year, a settlement payment will be made between CMS and the Company based on actual claims and premium experience.

The Company’s subsidiaries (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc.) participate in transfer payment programs with the states of Michigan and Illinois, whereby pass-through payments are paid first to the Company’s subsidiaries and then are passed on to various hospitals and providers. Payments received from the states of Michigan and Illinois during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled approximately $755,865,000 and $819,080,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded total liabilities of $90,614,789 and $141,116,811, respectively, related to these programs. The Company did not reflect any administrative expenses, reimbursement for such expenses, or a net gain or loss related to these programs for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 19 - Regulatory Matters

Under Michigan statutes, Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $7,500,000 or an amount determined adequate by the insurance commissioner in accordance with MCL 500.410(2) and (3) at December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. had a statutory net worth of approximately $186,800,000. Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. is limited by statute to paying dividends no greater than 100 percent of annual income or 10 percent of surplus without prior approval of the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services.

Under Illinois statutes, Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc. is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $500,000 at December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc. had a statutory net worth of approximately $128,800,000. Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc. is subject to dividend limitations and prior notification requirements for dividends per 215 Chapter 5 Section 131.20a(2) of the Illinois Insurance Code.

Under Iowa statutes, Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc. is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $5,000,000 at December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc. had a statutory net worth of approximately $2,000,000 following state-approved dividend distributions. Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc. is subject to dividend limitations and prior notification requirements for dividends per 191 Chapter 45 Section 45.10(521A) of the Iowa Insurance Code.

The Company’s subsidiary, Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., issued a surplus note to Caidan Holding Company, Inc. on December 26, 2017 in the amount of $35,000,000, which is fully eliminated upon consolidation.

Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc. are also subject to certain risk-based capital (RBC) requirements as specified by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The NAIC requires insurance companies to submit annual RBC filings. The intent of this requirement is to help regulators identify insurers that are in financial difficulty by establishing minimum capital needs based on risks applicable to a specific insurer. The calculations for determining the amount of RBC utilize a series of dynamic formulas containing a variety of weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or levels of activity. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc.’s levels exceeded the minimum requirements.

Note 20 - ACA/HIP Fee

The Company is subject to an annual fee under Section 9010 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). A health insurance entity’s portion of the annual fee becomes payable once the entity provides health insurance for any U.S. health risk for each calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Each health insurance entity’s annual fee is based on the ratio of the amount of the entity’s subject net premiums written during the preceding calendar year (data year) compared to the aggregate amount of subject net health premiums written by all subject U.S. health insurance providers and is payable to the U.S. Treasury on September 30 of the applicable calendar year. The liability recognition is not required as of December 31, 2017 for the upcoming year’s assessment. During 2017, the United States Treasury and Internal Revenue Service issued Moratorium on Annual Fee on Health Insurance Providers , which suspends the collection of the health insurance provider fee for the 2017 calendar year. Thus, health insurance issuers, which includes the Company, are not required to pay these fees for 2017. This moratorium did not affect the filing requirement and payment of these fees for 2016. The moratorium has no effect on the fee amount for the 2018 fee year.

The Company is considered a controlled group under the provisions of the PPACA. Each member of the controlled group is considered jointly and severally liable for the aggregate liability of the controlled group. The Company paid PPACA fees during 2016 of approximately $53.2 million.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 20 - ACA/HIP Fee (Continued)

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the State of Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services have indicated that Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc. will be reimbursed for amounts paid in 2016 related to the PPACA fee as well as for the increased federal tax incurred as a result of the additional premium revenue to cover the health insurer fee. The amounts recorded are disclosed in Note 18.

Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s subsidiary, Caidan Management Company, LLC, is a defendant in lawsuits in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that no litigation matters are outstanding or pending that will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

The revolving credit facility obtained by Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc. during 2017 (see Note 11) contains an early termination fee provision that requires the borrower to pay the lender a fee of $40,000,000 in the event of a major corporate action such as a merger, consolidation, or change in control. The planned acquisition by WellCare Health Plan, Inc. (“WellCare”) (see Note 24) will trigger the early termination fee due under the change in control provision, to be paid from the proceeds of the sale.

The Company engaged a financial services firm to assist throughout the negotiation process on the pending acquisition by WellCare (see Note 24). Once the acquisition by WellCare has been finalized it will trigger a fee payable to the financial services firm of $20,000,000, to be paid from the proceeds of the sale.

The Company has a phantom stock agreement with a key employee. Based on the terms of the agreement, the pending acquisition by WellCare will trigger the required payout of $25 million under the change in control provision.

In August 2014, the Company and a minority stockholder entered into a new Assignment, Redemption, and Employment Agreement whereby upon termination or retirement, the Company would be required to redeem the stockholder at an agreed-upon amount based on the book value of the Company. The stockholder terminated employment with the Company effective December 31, 2014. In accordance with the terms of the aforementioned agreement, the redemption occurred on January 1, 2015; however, generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to recognize the liability associated with the redemption in 2014 at adjusted fair value based upon the settlement amount. The redemption amount of $11,766,574 at December 31, 2014 was recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a liability, with an offsetting stock to be redeemed as a component of stockholders’ equity. The stock was redeemed on January 1, 2015. The terms of the agreement require payments, inclusive of interest at 3.25 percent, of $3,000,000 on January 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017, with the remaining balance due on January 31, 2018. The stock redemption obligation balance is $3,207,345 and $5,996,228 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The obligation was paid in full subsequent to year end.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors

Caidan Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Caidan Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit

opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Caidan Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Caidan Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Caidan Holding Company, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc., MeridianRx, LLC, and Caidan Management Company, LLC and subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the Company’s entire fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial report and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Below is a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies which affected the comparability of our consolidated results of operation, financial condition or cash flows for the periods presented. Refer to Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the annual consolidated financial report for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 for the full descriptions of the Company’s accounting policies.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Premium Revenue, Unearned Premiums and Uncollected Premiums

Health capitation premiums are recognized in the period members are entitled to related healthcare services. Premiums earned but not yet received are recorded as uncollected premiums and premiums received in advance of the period of service as unearned premiums in the consolidated balance sheet. Uncollected capitation balances are due primarily from the states of Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa, and total $391,223,912 and $339,508,336 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Medicaid rate changes are recognized in the period the change becomes effective and the effect of the change is reasonably estimable. Certain Medicaid and Medicare premiums are subject to a risk adjustment arrangement whereby premiums will be retroactively risk adjusted based on the risk scores of the members. The Company recognizes changes to risk-adjusted premiums as revenue in the period amounts are determinable. See Note 9 for additional information on retrospectively rated contracts and contracts subject to redetermination. Unearned premiums at March 31, 2018 consist primarily of the April 2018 CMS Medicare premium advance of approximately $26,000,000. Unearned premiums at December 31, 2017 were not significant.

Healthcare Receivables

Healthcare receivables are comprised of the ACA fee reimbursements, shared savings from risk-sharing provisions, trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable related to pharmaceutical benefit management services provided to unaffiliated customers, and other receivables. Balances are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine amounts that may not be collectible based on a specific analysis of each outstanding balance and the customer or provider from which it’s due. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period that such determination is made. Healthcare receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,304,610 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Acquired Membership

The Company purchased Medicaid membership within the State of Illinois during the first quarter of 2018 for approximately $4.2 million. The Company amortizes the cost of the purchased membership on a straight-line basis over 5 years. The recorded amount of the acquired membership is based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of the asset acquired. The useful life of the acquired membership is based on management’s best estimate of the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company. Management annually evaluates the remaining useful life to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization periods. Amortization expense related to the acquired membership totaled $211,615 as of March 31, 2018.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments , which requires equity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This amendment also simplifies the impairment test of equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The new guidance was adopted prospectively as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Upcoming Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which will supersede the current revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition . The ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2019. The ASU permits application of the new revenue recognition guidance to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods. The majority of the Company’s consolidated revenue is derived from insurance contracts, which are specifically excluded from the scope of ASU No. 2014-09. Therefore, the new guidance will primarily impact the Company’s pharmacy revenue. Performance obligations associated with customer contracts of the Company are completed within one year. Consideration received for performance obligations is fixed based on ingredient costs, dispensing fees, and administrative fees for claims processing, all of which relate to the pharmacy revenue. The Company has completed its preliminary analysis and does not foresee significant revisions to contracts based on adoption of the new standard, and a full retrospective method will be applied. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operation, financial condition, or cash flows.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases , that is expected to significantly change the accounting for both operating and capital lease contracts. The standard introduces a “right-to-use” approach to lease accounting. In essence, the proposed standard eliminates the off-balance-sheet accounting currently used for operating leases. This model would result in the recognition of a liability for payments due under the lease contract and a corresponding asset representing the right to use the underlying asset. Under U.S. GAAP, most leases currently classified as capital/financing leases would recognize amortization expense related to the “right-to-use” asset separately from interest expense related to the lease liability. Conversely, most leases currently classified as operating leases would not separate amortization expense from interest expense and would rather recognize a single “total lease expense.” The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2020. The Company anticipates adoption in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 and expects leased items, as disclosed in in the annual consolidated financial report, to be reported as long-term assets with a corresponding liability for the lease commitments using a modified retrospective transition method to the beginning of the earliest period presented. The new lease standard is expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a result of the leases classified as operating leases. The effects on the results of operations are not expected to be significant as recognition and measurement of expenses and cash flows for leases will be substantially the same under the new standard.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash. This update requires entities to reconcile, on the statement of cash flows, changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2019.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities . This guidance shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, premiums and discounts on callable debt securities are generally amortized to the maturity date. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the effect this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operation, financial condition and cash flows, but the effect is not expected to be material.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which allows entities to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect this guidance will have on our consolidated results of operation, financial condition and cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) , which requires entities to use a current expected credit loss model, which is a new impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this model, companies would recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows that the entity does not expect to collect from financial assets measured at amortized cost. The estimate would consider relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, which will result in recognition of lifetime expected credit losses upon loan origination. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. For a description of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values see the annual consolidated financial report as of December 31, 2017.

Note 6 - Accrued Healthcare Costs Payable (Continued)

Healthcare service costs and related liabilities are recorded when medical services are provided to eligible members, including management’s best estimate of the ultimate cost of healthcare costs incurred but not reported (“IBNR”), along with a margin for adverse deviation. When actual experience differs from prior estimates, accrued healthcare costs are adjusted through current period program expenses.

For the purpose of the table above, accrued healthcare costs payable at year end apply a balance gross of eliminations of $50,588,203 and $60,778,660 at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, for amounts due from the health plans to MeridianRx, LLC. Total incurred amounts relating to amounts administered by MeridianRx, LLC for pharmacy costs totaling $169,218,418 and $133,206,979 for March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are eliminated upon consolidation. Therefore, the balances in the table above are representative of the amounts incurred by the Meridian Health Plans and payable to hospitals and medical providers, as well as MeridianRx, LLC, and will not reflect accrued healthcare costs payable on the consolidated balance sheet or program expenses for healthcare delivery on the consolidated statement of operations as of December 31, 2017 or 2016 due to the eliminations noted above.

Reserves for incurred claims and claims adjustment expenses attributable to insured events of prior years changed in 2018 and 2017 as a result of claims development patterns emerging differently than originally estimated. The unfavorable development of approximately $4,000,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 is primarily the result of unfavorable development and utilization trends within the Michigan Medicaid populations. The favorable development of approximately $9,100,000 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 is largely related to Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc.’s MI Health Link and Medicaid programs and the costs and claim submissions for a subset of membership within those programs not developing at the rate assumed when establishing the accrued healthcare costs payable. Original estimates are increased or decreased as additional information becomes known regarding individual claims.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 7 - Notes Payable and Lines of Credit (Continued)

In May 2017, Caidan Enterprises, Inc., Caidan Holding Company, Inc., Caidan Management Company, LLC, and MeridianRx, LLC, collectively as co-borrowers entered into a new revolving credit and draw to term loan agreement. The credit agreement expires on August 25, 2020 with automatic extensions through May 2, 2022 that are contingent upon renewal of the Medicaid contract between Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The new revolving credit facility allows maximum borrowings of $175,000,000 with interest at the base rate plus 0.50 to 1.50 percent or the Eurodollar base rate plus 1.00 to 2.50 percent, as elected by management and determined by the net funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a facility fee of 0.75 percent per annum. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the outstanding amount on the revolving credit facility was $82,112,006, with an available balance of $92,887,994. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all assets of the co-borrowers, and the obligation is joint and several between these parties.

The new draw to term loan allows maximum aggregate borrowings of $150,000,000. Borrowings bear interest at the base rate plus 0.75 to 2.25 percent or the Eurodollar base rate plus 1.75 to 3.25 percent, as elected by management and determined by the net funded debt to EBITDA ratio. Monthly interest payments and quarterly principal payments commenced in June 2017. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the outstanding amount on the draw to term loan was $138,750,000.

The agreement limits the amount of annual shareholder distributions to 60 percent or 45 percent of S-Corporation taxable income for the Company’s fiscal year based on whether the net funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00 or greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the Company’s net funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00.

Effective November 3, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., entered into a revolving loan credit facility which allows maximum borrowings of $600,000,000. The commitment termination date is the earlier of November 3, 2019 or the date on which the State of Illinois rating is downgraded to a Ba1, BB+, or BB+ by Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch, respectively. Outstanding balances are due on October 31, 2067. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 there was no outstanding balance on the facility. Repayments of outstanding balances are applied as state capitation payments are received on eligible accounts receivable that are included in the borrowing base for amounts outstanding at date of receipt. Interest of 1.0 percent of any amount approved and unpaid after a 90-day period from the due date shall be added for each month, or 0.033 percent of any amount approved and unpaid for each day after the end of this 90-day period until final payment is made, commensurate with the Illinois State Prompt Payment Act, and is paid only upon receipt of such prompt payment penalties from the State of Illinois. The revolving loan credit facility is also subject to certain financial covenants including a risk-based capital ratio and minimum net worth requirements. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by all eligible receivables due from the State.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the Company is in compliance with all covenants pertaining to debt agreements.

The Company entered into a promissory note for $4,900,000 in January 2017 for the purchase of property. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 4.0 percent, with interest payments due in monthly installments beginning in January 2017. Final principal payment, along within any outstanding accrued interest, shall be due in January 2021. The note is secured by a security agreement and mortgage. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is $4,900,000.

Note 8 - Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities totaled $1,583,803 and $613,366, respectively at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company’s effective tax rates of 16.8 percent and (1.2) percent for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, differed from statutory rates due to an ACA fee moratorium in place in 2017 which expired in 2018.

Note 9 - Retrospectively Rated Contracts and Contracts Subject to Redetermination

As part of the Company’s subsidiaries’ (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc.) contract for services under various Medicare plans with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under Medicare Part D, the parties have agreed to a risk-sharing arrangement whereby the amount the Company receives in premiums from members and CMS is compared to actual drug costs incurred during the contract year. Based on the risk-sharing provision and activity to date, an estimated risk-sharing payable or receivable is recorded as an adjustment to premium revenue. An estimate for accrued retrospective premiums receivable of $7,281,522 and $3,435,283 has been recorded at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates upon final determination.

As part of the Company’s subsidiaries’ (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc.) contract for services under various Medicare Plans (see annual consolidated financial report as of December 31, 2017 for additional details), the parties have agreed to a risk adjustment arrangement whereby premiums will be retroactively risk adjusted based on the risk scores of the members. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has recorded a risk adjustment receivable of $12,263,581 and $10,568,745, respectively, from CMS, which is recorded in accrued retrospective premiums on the consolidated balance sheet.

As part of the Company’s subsidiary’s (Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc.) contract for Medicaid services under the Family Health Plan, Affordable Care Act, and Integrated Care Programs with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS), the parties have agreed to a risk adjustment arrangement whereby premiums will be retroactively risk adjusted based on the risk scores of the members. The risk adjustment factor is estimated based on experience to date and determinations of the Company’s risk score versus the overall geographical market risk score. The risk adjustment factor is a component of the monthly capitation premiums received from HFS and, therefore, any receivable or payable balance is recorded within uncollected premiums on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s subsidiary (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc.) is subject to components of the risk-sharing provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, a risk-sharing payable of $8,400,000 was recorded in aggregate health policy reserves on the consolidated balance sheet for the ACA risk-sharing provisions. Although management believes the amount recorded at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 to be reasonable in light of the quality and availability of the data, management also believes the ultimate settlement of these amounts could be significantly different from the estimate.

Miscellaneous payables recorded in aggregate health policy reserves related to other risk-sharing provisions within effective contracts amount to $3,288,780 and $3,621,510 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 10 - Uninsured Plans

The Company’s subsidiaries (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc., Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., and Meridian Health Plan of Iowa, Inc.) serve as plan sponsors offering Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage under various contracts with CMS. Under the Medicare Part D program, several elements of payments received by the Company, including the reinsurance subsidy and the low-income cost-sharing subsidy, represent cost reimbursements under the Medicare Part D program. Amounts owing or received for these subsidies are not reflected as premiums, but rather are accounted for as a receivable and/or deposit. The Company estimated amounts receivable (payable) between state contracts in connection with the Company’s Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage of $3,637,502 and $(114,489), respectively, at March 31, 2018, and $11,000,688 and $(69,306), respectively, at December 31, 2017. Subsequent to the end of the plan year, a settlement payment will be made between CMS and the Company based on actual claims and premium experience.

The Company’s subsidiaries (Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc. and Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc.) participate in transfer payment programs with the states of Michigan and Illinois, whereby pass-through payments are paid first to the Company’s subsidiaries and then are passed on to various hospitals and providers. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded total liabilities of $109,731,816 and $90,614,789, respectively, related to these programs. The Company did not reflect any administrative expenses, reimbursement for such expenses, or a net gain or loss related to these programs for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Note 11 - ACA/Health Insurer Fee

The Company is subject to an annual fee under Section 9010 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), see the annual consolidated financial report for additional details. During 2017, the United States Treasury and Internal Revenue Service issued Moratorium on Annual Fee on Health Insurance Providers , which suspends the collection of the health insurance provider fee for the 2017 calendar year. Therefore, the Company was not required to pay these fees in 2017 and no amounts have been recognized as of December 31, 2017 for the ACA fee expense or the reimbursement revenue from the states of Michigan and Illinois as part of the Medicaid contracts. The moratorium has no effect on the fee amount for the 2018 fee year. For 2018 the Company has recorded a liability of $65,195,781 as of January 1, 2018, with a corresponding Deferred health insurer fee on the consolidated balance sheet that is being amortized to expense on a straight line basis, the balance of which is $48,896,836 as of March 31, 2018. For the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded health insurer fee expense of $16,298,945, as well as $20,233,417 of health insurer fee reimbursement revenue.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s subsidiary, Caidan Management Company, LLC, is a defendant in lawsuits in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that no litigation matters are outstanding or pending that will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

The revolving credit facility obtained by Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc. during 2017 (see Note 7) contains an early termination fee provision that requires the borrower to pay the lender a fee of $40,000,000 in the event of a major corporate action such as a merger, consolidation, or change in control. The planned acquisition by WellCare Health Plan, Inc. (“WellCare”) (see Note 13) will trigger the early termination fee due under the change in control provision, to be paid from the proceeds of the sale.

The Company engaged a financial services firm to assist throughout the negotiation process on the pending acquisition by Wellcare (see Note 13). Once the acquisition by WellCare has been finalized it will trigger a fee payable to the financial services firm of $20,000,000, to be paid from the proceeds of the sale.

The Company has a phantom stock agreement with a key employee. Based on the terms of the agreement the pending acquisition by WellCare will trigger the required payout of $25,000,000 under the change in control provision.

Note 13 - Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 2018, the Company declared and paid dividends to stockholders of $31,700,000.

On May 28 th , 2018 the Company entered into a purchase agreement with WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (“WellCare”) whereby WellCare has agreed to purchase, for $2.5 billion, all shares of stock of Caidan Holding Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as well as all assets of MeridianRx, LLC and Caidan Management Company, LLC, with the exception of certain items which will be carved out. The transaction calls for payment of the estimated purchase price in cash, less an escrow of $125,000,000 at closing, subject to a potential closing working capital adjustment. The acquisition of these entities by WellCare is pending regulatory approval, but is anticipated to close prior to December 31, 2018.

The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures include evaluation of events up through and including July 18, 2018, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Exhibit 99.6

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2018 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of WellCare and the Meridian Group, giving effect to the Meridian Acquisition and the Acquisition Financing Transactions, each as more fully described in Note 1 below, as if they each had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of the Company and the Meridian Group, giving effect to the Acquisition Financing Transactions and the Meridian Acquisition, each as more fully described in Note 1 below, as if they each had occurred on March 31, 2018. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Meridian Acquisition and the Acquisition Financing Transactions, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes:

 

   

historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017;

 

   

historical audited consolidated financial statements of Meridian Consolidated as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2018;

 

   

historical unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the related notes, included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018; and

 

   

historical unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Meridian Consolidated as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the related notes, included in the Company’s Current Report on this Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2018.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 (the “LTM data”) was derived by adding the audited consolidated financial information for each of WellCare and the Meridian Group for the year ended December 31, 2017 to the unaudited consolidated financial information for each of WellCare and the Meridian Group for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and subtracting the unaudited consolidated financial information for each of WellCare and the Meridian Group for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and making certain adjustments thereto giving effect to the Meridian Acquisition and the Acquisition Financing Transactions. The LTM data has been prepared solely for the purpose of this prospectus supplement, is not prepared in the ordinary course of our financial reporting and has not been audited or reviewed by our independent registered public accounting firm.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by the Company using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The Company has been treated as the acquirer in the Meridian Acquisition for accounting purposes. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The consummation of the Meridian Acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approval, and there can be no assurance that the Meridian Acquisition will occur on or before a certain time, on the terms described herein, or at all. The Meridian Acquisition is not conditioned on the Acquisition Financing Transactions or any other financing transaction, and the terms of any financing we may obtain for the Meridian Acquisition may differ from the assumptions set forth herein. Furthermore, we are not acquiring all of the assets or operations, or assuming all of the liabilities, of the Meridian Group in the Meridian Acquisition and, as a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflect certain estimates regarding such assets, operations and liabilities. In addition, under certain relevant laws and regulations, before completion of the Meridian Acquisition, there are certain limitations regarding


what we can learn about the Meridian Group. As a result, until the Meridian Acquisition is completed, we will not have complete access to all relevant information about the Meridian Group. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the Meridian Group have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that we believe are reasonable based on information that is currently available. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur, and those differences could have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for informational purposes.

We expect to commence the necessary valuation and other studies required to complete the acquisition accounting promptly upon completion of the Meridian Acquisition and will finalize the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable within the required measurement period in accordance with ASC 805, but in no event later than one year following completion of the Meridian Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that our management believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by our management; however, it is not necessarily indicative of our financial position or results of operations that would have been achieved had the pro forma events taken place on the dates indicated, or of the future consolidated results of operations or of the financial position of the combined company. You should not place undue reliance on the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in deciding whether or not to purchase our common stock.

Management expects that the strategic and financial benefits of the Meridian Acquisition will result in certain synergies and cost savings opportunities. However, given the preliminary nature of those cost savings, they have not been reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. For a discussion of risks related to the Meridian Acquisition, see Item 1A. of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

(UNAUDITED)

1. Description of Transaction

Meridian Acquisition

In May 2018, our subsidiary, WellCare Management, entered into a definitive transaction agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Caidan Management Company, LLC, MeridianRx, LLC, Caidan Holding Company (collectively, the “Meridian Group”), and Caidan Enterprises, Inc. (the “Seller”). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, we will acquire the Meridian Group (including Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc. and Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Inc.) from the Seller for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 billion in cash, subject to a possible purchase price reduction of up to $100 million and other customary purchase price adjustments (the “Meridian Acquisition”). The Meridian Acquisition is expected to close in the next few months.

The consummation of the Meridian Acquisition is subject to customary conditions, including (i) the absence of a material adverse effect on the Meridian Group, (ii) the receipt of specified approvals under state insurance and healthcare laws and regulations, in each case, without imposing a burdensome condition, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties (generally subject to a customary material adverse effect standard), (iv) the absence of governmental restrictions on the consummation of the Meridian Acquisition, (v) material compliance by the parties with their respective covenants and agreements under the Acquisition Agreement and (vi) completion of a pre-closing restructuring by the Seller to exclude certain assets and liabilities unrelated to the Meridian Group’s pharmacy benefits management and health care plans.

The Acquisition Agreement contains certain termination rights, including the right of either party to terminate the Acquisition Agreement if the consummation of the Meridian Acquisition has not occurred on or before January 31, 2019, subject to an approximately 90 day extension if all conditions to closing of the Meridian Acquisition have been satisfied or waived other than the conditions relating to antitrust or regulatory approvals (the “Termination Date”). If the Acquisition Agreement is terminated because the Meridian Acquisition has not been consummated by the Termination Date and all conditions precedent to our obligation to consummate the Meridian Acquisition have otherwise been satisfied except for obtaining certain of the required antitrust or regulatory approvals, then we will be required to pay the Seller a termination fee of $50 million. If the Acquisition Agreement is terminated by the Seller because we have failed to consummate the Meridian Acquisition within five business days of being required to do so, then we will be required to pay the Seller a termination fee of $100 million.

Acquisition Financing Transactions

In connection with the Meridian Acquisition, (i) we are offering 3,990,712 shares of common stock, (ii) we are offering $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of new senior unsecured notes (the “New Notes”) in a private placement to certain qualified institutional investors and non-U.S. persons, (iii) we increased our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility from $1.0 billion to $1.3 billion (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) and extended the maturity date for borrowings thereunder from January 2021 to July 2023 and (iv) we intend to draw approximately $480.0 million under the new New Revolving Credit Facility. We refer to this offering, the New Notes offering and the draw under the New Revolving Credit Facility as the “Acquisition Financing Transactions.”

We intend to fund the Meridian Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds from the Acquisition Financing Transactions.

The consummation of the Meridian Acquisition is not subject to any financing condition, including the closing of any of the Acquisition Financing Transactions. In addition, this offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Meridian Acquisition or any of the other Acquisition Financing Transactions. We cannot assure you that the Meridian Acquisition will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all. If the Meridian Acquisition is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds of this equity offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions, share repurchases or debt repayment, and we will not have any obligation to repurchase any or all of our shares of common stock sold in this offering. In the event that the Meridian Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to the Outside Date, or the Transaction Agreement is terminated


any time prior thereto other than as a result of consummating the Meridian Acquisition, we will be required to redeem in whole and not in part the outstanding New Notes on the special mandatory redemption date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the special mandatory redemption date.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate the Meridian Acquisition on a timely basis or at all. For a discussion of risks related to the Meridian Acquisition, see Item 1A. of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical financial statements of WellCare and the Meridian Group. The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC 805 and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.

ASC 805 requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, ASC 805 requires that the consideration transferred be measured at the date the Meridian Acquisition is completed at the then-current market price.

ASC 820 defines the term “fair value” and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, we may be required to record the fair value of assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect our intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded, as of completion of the Meridian Acquisition, primarily at their respective fair values and added to those of the Company. Our financial statements and reported results of operations issued after completion of the Meridian Acquisition will reflect these values, but will not be retroactively restated to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of the Meridian Group.

Under ASC 805, transaction-related expenses (e.g., advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. Total transaction expenses expected to be incurred are estimated to be approximately $75 million to $85 million. Those expenses are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as an increase to accounts payable and accrued expenses, with the related tax benefits reflected as an increase in other current assets and the after tax effect presented as a decrease to retained earnings.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the projected realization of any anticipated cost savings following completion of the Meridian Acquisition. These potential cost savings opportunities are expected to arise from network and medical management savings, as well as administrative cost savings. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect projected pretax integration-related expenses associated with the projected cost savings or any restructuring costs.


3. Accounting Policies

At completion of the Meridian Acquisition, we will review the Meridian Group’s accounting policies to determine if differences in accounting policies require restatement or reclassification of results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to our accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, we may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material effect on the combined financial statements. At this time, we are not aware of any differences that would have a material effect on the combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume there are no material differences in accounting policies.

4. Estimate of Consideration Expected to be Transferred

For pro forma purposes, it is assumed that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, we will acquire the Meridian Group from the Seller for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 billion in cash, however, we note that such aggregate purchase price is subject to a possible purchase price reduction of up to $100 million and other customary purchase price adjustments.

5. Estimate of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities to be Assumed

The following is a preliminary estimate of the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed by the Company in the Meridian Acquisition, reconciled to the estimate of total consideration expected to be transferred:    

 

     As of March 31, 2018  

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:

  

Net book value of net assets acquired

   $ 507.7  

Less: historical intangible assets

     (4.0
  

 

 

 

Adjusted book value of net assets acquired

   $ 503.7  

Goodwill (a)

   $ 996.3  

Identified intangible assets (b)

     1,000.0  

Adjustment to Property, equipment and capitalized software, net (c)

     —    
  

 

 

 

Consideration transferred

   $ 2,500.0  


  (a)

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the total consideration expected to be transferred and the aggregate values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized.

 

  (b)

As of completion of the Meridian Acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value, and these acquired assets could include assets that are not intended to be used or sold or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and consistent with the ASC 820 requirements for fair value measurements, it is assumed that all assets will be used, and that all assets will be used in a manner that represents the highest and best use of those assets, but it is not assumed that any market participant synergies will be achieved.

The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using variations of the “income approach,” which is based on the present value of the future after-tax cash flows attributable to each identified intangible asset. Other valuation methods, including the market approach and cost approach, are also considered in estimating the fair value. Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other relevant laws and regulations, there are significant limitations on our ability to obtain specific information about the Meridian Group intangible assets prior to completion of the Meridian Acquisition.

At this time, we do not have sufficient information as to the amount, timing and risk of cash flows of all of the Meridian Group’s identifiable intangible assets to determine their fair value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of intangible asset values, from the perspective of a market participant, include: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue and profitability); the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset. However, for purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and using publicly available information, such as historical revenues, the Meridian Group’s cost structure, industry information for comparable intangible assets and certain other high-level assumptions, the fair value of the Meridian Group’s identifiable intangible assets and their weighted-average useful lives have been estimated at $1.0 billion and 11 years, respectively. The identifiable intangible assets resulting from our acquisitions typically include provider networks, broker networks, trademarks, state contracts, licenses and permits. We amortize other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives ranging from approximately one to 15 years.

These preliminary estimates of fair value and weighted-average useful life will likely be different from the final acquisition accounting, and the difference could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Once we have full access to information about the Meridian Group’s intangible assets, additional insight will be gained that could affect (i) the estimated total value assigned to intangible assets, (ii) the estimated allocation of value between finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets and/or (iii) the estimated useful lives of intangible assets. The estimated intangible asset values and their useful lives could be affected by a variety of factors that may become known to us only upon access to additional information and/or by changes in such factors that may occur prior to completion of the Meridian Acquisition. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the regulatory, legislative, legal, technological and competitive environments. Increased knowledge about these and/or other elements could result in a change to the estimated fair value of the identifiable Meridian Group intangible assets and/or to the estimated weighted-average useful lives from what was assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The combined effect of any such changes could then also result in a significant increase or decrease to the Company’s estimate of associated amortization expense.

 

  (c)

As of completion of the Meridian Acquisition, property, equipment and capitalized software is required to be measured at fair value, unless those assets are classified as held-for-sale on the acquisition date. The acquired assets can include assets that are not intended to be used or sold, or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. We do not have sufficient information at this time as to the specific nature, age, condition or location of Meridian Group’s property, equipment and capitalized softer and we do not know the appropriate valuation premise, in-use or in-exchange, as the valuation premise requires a certain level of knowledge about the assets being evaluated as well as a profile of the associated market participants. All of these elements can cause differences between fair value and net book value. Accordingly, for the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, we have assumed that the current Meridian Group book values represent the best estimate of fair value. This estimate is preliminary and subject to change and could vary materially from the actual value on the date the Meridian Acquisition is completed.

(*)

Assumes an estimated $1.0 billion of finite-lived intangibles and a weighted average amortization period of 11 years (Refer to Note 5. Estimate of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities to be Assumed ).

 

(c)

The Company estimates the following adjustments to interest expense associated with debt incurred to finance the Meridian Acquisition:

 

   

Additional interest expense of approximately $55.9 million, $14.4 million and $56.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the LTM ended March 31, 2018, respectively. The additional interest expense is based on approximately $700.0 million of long term fixed-rate indebtedness and approximately $480.0 million of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility the Company expects to incur to finance a portion of the Meridian Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. The calculation of interest expense on the long-term indebtedness assumes an eight year maturity and an estimated annual interest rate of approximately 6.0%. Additionally, the calculation of interest expense on the New Revolving Credit Facility assumes an estimated weighted average annual interest rate of approximately 3.0%.

 

   

If interest rates were to increase or decrease by approximately 0.5% from the rates assumed in estimating our pro forma adjustments to interest expense, or the the amount of indebtedness incurred increased or decreased by approximately $250.0 million, the effect on pro forma interest expense would be as follows:

 

     Year ended
December 31, 2017
     Three months ended
March 31, 2018
     LTM ended
March 31, 2018
 

0.5% increase/decrease in interest rates

        

Fixed rate debt

   $ 3.5      $ 0.8      $ 3.5  

New Revolving Credit Facility

   $ 2.4      $ 0.6      $ 2.4  

$250.0 million increase/decrease in indebtedness

        

Fixed rate debt

   $ 15.0      $ 3.7      $ 15.0  

New Revolving Credit Facility

   $ 7.2      $ 2.1      $ 7.8  

 

   

Additional interest expense of approximately $2.2 million, $0.5 million and $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the LTM ended March 31, 2018, respectively. The additional interest expense is related to the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the long-term indebtedness and New Revolving Credit Facility we expect to incur to finance a portion of the Meridian Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. Issuance costs related to such long-term indebtedness and New Revolving Credit Facility are assumed to be amortized over an estimated weighted average term of approximately 5 years.


(d)

The Company assumed blended tax rates of 35% and 37% for 2018 and 2017, respectively, when estimating the tax effect of the acquisition, representing the federal and state tax rates. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different depending upon post-acquisition activities of the combined company.

 

(e)

The Company estimates increased basic and diluted shares outstanding of 3,950,014 for the year ended December 31, 2017, the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the LTM ended March 31, 2018, related to equity issued to finance a portion of the Meridian Acquisition, assuming approximately $1.1 billion is issued at $278.48 per share (closing stock price on August 2, 2018).

The shares calculated above and those used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements included herein are based on the assumed stock price of $278.48 per share. The table below depicts a sensitivity analysis assuming a $5.00 and $10.00 increase or decrease of the closing price of WellCare stock and the resulting estimated shares to be issued at the adjusted stock price as well as the corresponding approximate pro forma diluted earnings per share.
