Description Of Business And Basis Of Presentation

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Acadia” or the “Company”) was formed in October 2005 as a limited liability company under the provisions of the Delaware Limited Liability Act (the “Act”). On May 13, 2011, the Company was converted to a C-corporation registered as Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Until November 1, 2011, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acadia Healthcare Holdings, LLC (hereafter referred to as “Holdings” or the “Member”). The Company’s principal business is to develop and operate inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse facilities and facilities providing outpatient behavioral health services to better serve the behavioral health and recovery needs of communities throughout the United States.

Basis of Presentation

The business of the Company is conducted through limited liability companies and C-corporations, each of which is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The majority of our expenses are “cost of revenue” items. Costs that could be classified as general and administrative expenses include our corporate office costs, which were approximately $13.1 million, $4.8 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform to the current year presentation.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that it mitigates any risks by depositing cash and investing in cash equivalents with major financial institutions.

Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Revenue is derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment and includes revenue payable by the Medicare program (Medicare) administered by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), state Medicaid programs, commercial insurance (in network and out of network), and other payors including individual patients. Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are provided at established billing rates less contractual adjustments based on amounts reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid under provisions of cost or prospective reimbursement formulas or amounts due from other third-party payors at contractually determined rates.

The following table presents revenue by payor type as a percentage of revenue (in thousands):


	Year ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Medicare		8	%		20	%		22	%
Medicaid		75			43			40
Commercial		14			34			33
Self-pay		2			3			5
Other		1			—			—

Revenue		100	%		100	%		100	%

On a combined basis, revenue related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs were 83%, 63% and 62% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company’s concentration of credit risk from other payors is reduced by the large number of payors and their geographic dispersion. The Company generated approximately 17% and 16% of its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 from facilities located in Arkansas and Mississippi, respectively.

Allowance for Contractual Discounts

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions. The Company estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently necessitating continual review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often occurs in subsequent years because of audits by such programs, rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical provisions. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s cost report receivables were $0.5 million at December 31, 2011 compared to cost report payables of $0.1 million at December 31, 2010, and are included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company believes that these receivables and payables are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount. The net adjustments to estimated cost report settlements resulted in increases to revenue of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations or wrongdoing. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s ability to collect outstanding patient receivables from third party payors is critical to its operating performance and cash flows. The primary collection risk with regard to patient receivables relates to uninsured patient accounts or patient accounts for which primary insurance has paid, but the portion owed by the patient remains outstanding. The Company estimates uncollectible accounts and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to adjust accounts receivable to estimated net realizable value. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the Company considers a number of factors, including the age of the accounts, historical collection experience, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectible based on the Company’s policies are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Significant changes in payor mix or business office operations could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

In July 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-07, “Health Care Entities” (Topic 954): Presentation and Disclosure of Patient Service Revenue, Provision for Bad Debts, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Certain Health Care Entities (“ASU 2011-07”). ASU 2011-07 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2011, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2011-07 requires healthcare entities to change the presentation of the statement of operations by reclassifying the provision for doubtful accounts from operating expenses to a deduction from revenue. Changes to the presentation of the provision for bad debts should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company has early adopted this guidance and all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified in accordance with ASU 2011-07.

A summary of activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows (in thousands):


	Balances at Beginning of Period		Additions Charged to Costs and Expenses		Accounts Written Off, Net of Recoveries			Balances at End of Period
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Year ended December 31, 2009	$	1,109		2,424		(2,159	)	$	1,374
Year ended December 31, 2010	$	1,374		2,239		(2,469	)	$	1,144
Year ended December 31, 2011	$	1,144		3,226		(1,946	)	$	2,424

Charity Care

The Company provides care without charge to patients who are financially unable to pay for the healthcare services they receive based on Company policies and federal and state poverty thresholds. The costs of providing charity care services were $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Insurance

The Company is subject to medical malpractice and other lawsuits due to the nature of the services we provide. The Company’s operations have professional and general liability insurance for claims in excess of a $50,000 deductible with an insured excess limit of $25 million. The reserve for professional and general liability risks is estimated based on historical claims, demographic factors, industry trends, severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions calculated by an independent third-party actuary. The estimated accrual for professional and general liabilities could be significantly affected should current and future occurrences differ from historical claim trends and expectations. While claims are monitored closely when estimating professional and general liability accruals, the complexity of the claims and wide range of potential outcomes often hampers timely adjustments to the assumptions used in these estimates. The professional and general liability reserve was $2.8 million as of December 31, 2011, of which $1.2 million is included in other accrued liabilities and $1.7 million is included in other long-term liabilities. We estimate receivables for the portion of professional and general liability reserves that are recoverable under our insurance policies based on an independent actuarial evaluation. Such receivable was $1.7 million as of December 31, 2011, of which $0.6 million is included in other current assets and $1.1 million is included in other assets.

The Company’s statutory workers’ compensation program is fully insured with a $500,000 deductible per accident. The reserve for workers’ compensation liability was $3.8 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The reserve for workers compensation claims is based upon independent actuarial estimates of future amounts that will be paid to claimants. The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for workers’ compensation and professional and general liability risk exposures.

Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which typically range from 25 to 30 years for buildings and improvements, three to 10 years for equipment and the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements. When assets are sold or retired, the corresponding cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the period of sale or retirement. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense was approximately $2.7 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events, circumstances or operating results indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the asset will not be recoverable, as determined based upon the undiscounted cash flows of the operating asset over the remaining useful lives, the carrying value of the asset will be reduced to its estimated fair value. Fair value estimates are based on independent appraisals, market values of comparable assets or internal evaluations of future net cash flows.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company’s goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of licenses and accreditations and certificates of need intangible assets that are not amortized, are evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. The Company comprises one operating segment, behavioral healthcare services, for segment reporting purposes. The behavioral healthcare services operating segment represents one reporting unit for purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment test. Potential impairment is noted for a reporting unit if its carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. For a reporting unit with potential impairment of goodwill, the Company determines the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded. Our annual impairment tests of goodwill in 2011, 2010 and 2009 resulted in no goodwill impairment charges.

Other Current Assets

Other current assets consists of the following (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2011		2010
Other receivables	$	2,578	$	640
Prepaid expenses		2,224		772
Workers’ compensation deposits		1,707		466
Other		3,612		390

Other current assets	$	10,121	$	2,268

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. Debt issuance costs at December 31, 2011 were $11.3 million, net of accumulated amortization of $1.2 million. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs, which is reported as interest expense, was approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Estimated amortization of debt issuance costs for the years ending December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 is $2.0 million, $2.0 million, $2.0 million, $1.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Stock Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine grant-date fair value and use straight-line amortization of share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the respective awards.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” using the weighted-average shares outstanding in each period and dilutive stock options, nonvested shares and warrants, to the extent such securities have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is established when we believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Significant judgments regarding the recognition and measurement of each tax position are required. Our policy is to classify interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of our tax provision.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-24, “Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Presentation of Insurance Claims and Recoveries,” which provides clarification to companies in the healthcare industry on the accounting for professional liability insurance. ASU 2010-24 states that insurance liabilities should not be presented net of insurance recoveries and that an insurance receivable should be recognized on the same basis as the liabilities, subject to the need for a valuation allowance for uncollectible accounts. ASU 2010-24 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard increased other current assets by $0.6 million, other assets by $1.1 million, other current liabilities by $0.6 million and other long-term liabilities by $1.1 million in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011.

In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-23, “Measuring Charity Care for Disclosure.” ASU 2010-23 standardizes the basis of disclosure as the costs of providing charity care services. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-23 effective January 1, 2011 and retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2010-23 impacted the disclosures provided by the Company relating to charity care in Note 2 but had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors, resulting in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This update changes the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosure requirements were expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. These changes became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011 and have been reflected in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The update permits the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

3. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” using the weighted-average shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and restricted shares, computed using the treasury stock method. All shares and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the stock splits completed on May 20, 2011 and November 1, 2011.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands except per share amounts):


	Year Ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings (loss per share):
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	(33,194	)	$	6,681		$	2,758
Loss from discontinued operations		(1,698	)		(471	)		119

Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders	$	(34,892	)	$	6,210		$	2,877

Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding		18,757			17,633			17,633
Effect of dilutive securities		—			—			—

Shares used for diluted earnings per share		18,757			17,633			17,633

Basic net earnings (loss) per share:
Basic earnings (loss) from continuing operations	$	(1.77	)	$	0.38		$	0.16
Basic loss from discontinued operations		(0.09	)		(0.03	)		—

Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders	$	(1.86	)	$	0.35		$	0.16

Diluted net earnings (loss) per share:
Diluted earnings (loss) from continuing operations	$	(1.77	)	$	0.38		$	0.16
Diluted loss from discontinued operations		(0.09	)		(0.03	)		—

Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders	$	(1.86	)	$	0.35		$	0.16

The restricted stock, stock options and warrants issued in 2011 are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 causes such securities to be anti-dilutive.

		6,091		464		—			—

Total	$	10,064	$	815	$	(1,832	)	$	(271	)

In connection with the YFCS acquisition, the Company acquired $5.4 million of intangible assets consisting of patient-related intangible assets of $1.2 million, non-compete agreements of $0.3 million, licenses and accreditations of $2.7 million and certificates of need of $1.1 million. In connection with the PHC acquisition, the Company acquired intangible assets with a preliminary value of $3.5 million consisting of contract intangible assets of $2.1 million, licenses and accreditations of $1.2 million and certificates of need of $0.2 million. The Company also incurred and capitalized $0.4 million and $0.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 related to costs to obtain certificates of need.

The patient-related intangible assets, which represent the value associated with the patients of the YFCS facilities as of the acquisition date, have been amortized over the estimated three-month average term in which the existing patients will be discharged. The YFCS non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the one-year term of the agreements. The PHC contract intangible of $2.1 million is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated five-year term of the related contract. Amortization expense was approximately $1.6 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 is $0.5 million, $0.4 million, $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

The Company’s licenses and accreditations and certificates of need intangible assets have indefinite lives and are therefore not subject to amortization.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the aggregate amount of goodwill and a description of intangible assets, which may include (a) for amortizable intangible assets (also referred to as finite-lived intangible assets), the carrying amount, the amount of any significant residual value, and the weighted-average amortization period, (b) for intangible assets not subject to amortization (also referred to as indefinite-lived intangible assets), the carrying amount, and (c) the amount of research and development assets acquired and written off in the period, including the line item in the income statement in which the amounts written off are aggregated, if not readily apparent from the income statement. Also discloses (a) for amortizable intangibles assets in total and by major class, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization, the total amortization expense for the period, and the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years, (b) for intangible assets not subject to amortization the carrying amount in total and by major class, and (c) for goodwill, in total and for each reportable segment, the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the period (including the aggregate amount of goodwill acquired, the aggregate amount of impairment losses recognized, and the amount of goodwill included in the gain (loss) on disposal of a reporting unit). If any part of goodwill has not been allocated to a reportable segment, discloses the unallocated amount and the reasons for not allocating. For each impairment loss recognized related to an intangible asset (excluding goodwill), discloses: (a) a description of the impaired intangible asset and the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method for determining fair value, (c) the caption in the income statement or the statement of activities in which the impairment loss is aggregated, and (d) the segment in which the impaired intangible asset is reported. For each goodwill impairment loss recognized, discloses: (a) a description of the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method of determining the fair value of the associated reporting unit, and (c) if a recognized impairment loss is an estimate not finalized and the reasons why the estimate is not final. May also disclose the nature and amount of any significant adjustments made to a previous estimate of an impairment loss.

Discontinued Operations [Abstract]

Discontinued Operations

6. Discontinued Operations

GAAP requires that all components of an entity that have been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or are held for sale and whose cash flows can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity be presented as discontinued operations. In June 2012, the Company disposed of its PsychSolutions facility located in Miami, Florida and recognized a loss on disposal of $0.2 million, which is included in loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations. In 2010, the Company ceased operations of its facility located in Hilo, Hawaii. As part of the acquisition of YFCS on April 1, 2011, the Company acquired a facility located in Tampa Bay, Florida that was classified as discontinued operations during 2010. In December 2011, the Company closed three outpatient facilities and a 24-bed substance abuse facility acquired from PHC on November 1, 2011. The results of operations of these facilities have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

A summary of results from discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands):


	Year Ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Revenue	$	5,362		$	1,855		$	3,210

Net (loss) income from discontinued operations	$	(1,698	)	$	(471	)	$	119

- Definition

Senior Secured Credit Facility

To finance our acquisition of YFCS and refinance our $10.0 million secured promissory note that was outstanding at December 31, 2010, we entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, administered by Bank of America, N.A., on April 1, 2011. The Senior Secured Credit Facility entered into on April 1, 2011 included $135.0 million of term loans and a revolving credit facility of $30.0 million. As of December 31, 2011, we had $29.6 million of availability under our revolving line of credit, which reflected the total revolving credit facility of $30.0 million less an undrawn letter of credit of $0.4 million.

On March 1, 2012, we amended our Senior Secured Credit Facility to provide an incremental $25.0 million of term loans and increase the revolving credit facility by $45.0 million, from $30.0 million to $75.0 million. We used the incremental term loans of $25.0 million and a $5.0 million borrowing under the revolving credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of Haven Facilities on March 1, 2012. Subsequent to the amendment to the Senior Credit Facility and acquisition of the Haven Facilities, we have $69.6 million of availability under our revolving line of credit, subject to customary debt incurrence tests. The amended term loans require quarterly principal payments of $2.0 million for March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013, $4.0 million for June 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014, $5.0 million for June 30, 2014 to March 31, 2015, and $6.0 million for June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015, with the remaining principal balance due on the maturity date of April 1, 2016.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of Acadia’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Acadia and its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate tied to Acadia’s consolidated leverage ratio (defined as consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facility). The Applicable Rate for borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.50% and 3.50% for Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans, respectively, as of December 31, 2011. Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (based upon the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%. As of December 31, 2011, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bore interest at 4.80%. In addition, Acadia is required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving line of credit. As of December 31, 2011, undrawn amounts bore interest at a rate of 0.55%.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires Acadia and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2011, Acadia was in compliance with such covenants.

12.875% Senior Notes due 2018

On November 1, 2011, we issued $150.0 million of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued at 98.323% of the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million, a discount of $2.5 million. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12.875% per annum. We will pay interest on the notes semi-annually, in arrears, on November 1 and May 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2012 through the maturity date of November 1, 2018.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on the Company’s equity interests or redeem, repurchase or retire the Company’s equity interests or subordinated debt; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make certain investments; (v) incur certain liens; (vi) create restrictions on the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company; (vii) engage in certain transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and (viii) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The Senior Notes issued by the Company are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., as the parent issuer of the Senior Notes, has no independent assets or operations.

Other

Other accrued liabilities include $3.3 million and $0.5 million of accrued interest as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

Equity [Abstract]

Equity

8. Equity

The Company was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and was structured as a single-member limited liability corporation until its conversion to a C-corporation (Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc.) on May 13, 2011.

On April 1, 2011, Holdings amended its limited liability company agreement and its Class A Preferred Units, Class A Common Units, Class B Common Units, and Class B Preferred Units were exchanged for equivalent fair values of Class A Units and Class B Units as of such date. Additionally, on April 1, 2011, Holdings issued Class A Units and Class B Units to investors consisting of Waud Capital Partners or its affiliates and certain members of Acadia management for cash proceeds of $52.5 million. On May 20, 2011, Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. underwent a stock split by means of a stock dividend of 100,000 shares of common stock for each share of common stock outstanding such that 10,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

On November 1, 2011, the Company completed a 1.7633-for-one stock split which resulted in 17,633,117 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on such date, Holdings was dissolved and the 17,633,117 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. were distributed to the members of Holdings, consisting of Waud Capital Partners or its affiliates and certain members of Acadia management, in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Additionally, on November 1, 2011, in connection with our acquisition of PHC, 4,891,667 shares of common stock of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. were issued to the PHC stockholders. The shares issued to the PHC stockholders were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market exchange on November 1, 2011.

On December 20, 2011, we completed the offering of 8,333,333 shares of our common stock at a price of $7.50 per share and an additional 1,249,999 shares of our common stock at the price of $7.0875 per share pursuant to the over-allotment option that was granted by us to the underwriters as part of the offering. The net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares, after deducting the underwriting discount of approximately $3.8 million and additional offering-related expenses of approximately $0.9 million, were approximately $67.2 million. The net offering proceeds were used to partially fund the acquisition of the Haven Facilities completed on March 1, 2012.

Equity-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Equity-Based Compensation

9. Equity-Based Compensation

Holdings’ Equity Incentive Units

On January 4, 2010, certain members of senior management purchased 3,650 Class A Preferred Units and 3,650 Class A Common Units. The Company loaned the members of management the funds necessary to purchase these units pursuant to a three year recourse secured note bearing interest at 8% annually. Since these units contained certain repurchase provisions, they were accounted for as liability awards. The Company also issued 1,000 Class B Preferred Units and 19,000 Class B Common Units to senior management which only vest upon the occurrence of a certain qualified change in control. Accordingly, at December 31, 2010 none of the Class B Preferred Units and none of the Class B Common Units held by management were vested. The fair value of management’s Class A Preferred Units and Class A Common Units at December 31, 2010 was approximately $0.6 million. The fair value of management’s Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units at December 31, 2010 was approximately $5.9 million. There were no cancellations and no forfeitures on: (1) the Class A Preferred Units; (2) the Class A Common Units; (3) the Class B Preferred Units; and (4) the Class B Common Units. On April 1, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of YFCS, the vesting of the Class B Preferred Units and Class B Common Units was accelerated. The Class A Preferred Units, Class A Common Units, Class B Preferred Units, and Class B Common Units were exchanged for 5,650 new Class A units, 5,650 new Class B units, and $0.9 million in cash. As a result of the modification of the awards to accelerate the vesting, the Company recognized approximately $6.1 million of equity-based compensation expense on April 1, 2011. The fair value of the units and the recognized compensation expense were determined based on approximately $36.0 million of contemporaneous cash investments from Waud Capital Partners or its affiliates and approximately $16.5 million of contemporaneous cash investments from new members of Acadia’s management on April 1, 2011.

On April 1, 2011, Holdings issued Class C Units and Class D Units (the “Management Incentive Units”) to certain members of management. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, the Management Incentive Units do not have value until certain performance targets are met. The Class C Units vest evenly over a five-year period on each of the first five anniversaries from the date of issuance and the Class D Units were immediately vested at the date of issuance. The Management Incentive Units contain certain repurchase provisions requiring such to be accounted for as liability awards. The estimated fair value of the Management Incentive Units of $13.7 million was recorded as equity-based compensation expense during the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 and was based on various factors, including the value implied by the PHC acquisition and analyses of relevant EBITDA multiples as supported by guideline companies. We recorded an adjustment of $2.8 million during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 to reduce the cumulative equity-based compensation expense related to the Management Incentive Units to $10.9 million based on the fair value of the common stock and cash distributed to the unitholders upon the dissolution of Holdings on November 1, 2011.

Equity Incentive Plans

A maximum of 2,700,000 shares of our common stock are authorized for grant as stock options, restricted stock or other share-based compensation under the Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). Under the Equity Incentive Plan, stock options may be granted for terms of up to ten years. Grants to employees generally vest in annual increments of 25% each year, commencing one year after the date of grant. The exercise prices of stock options are equal to the most recent closing sales prices of our common stock on the date of grant.

On November 1, 2011, pursuant to the terms of our merger agreement with PHC, we issued 302,446 stock options and 90,750 stock warrants as replacements of PHC stock options and warrants outstanding on the acquisition date. Of the PHC replacement awards, 281,604 stock options and all 90,750 stock warrants were vested as of the acquisition date and 20,842 of the stock options will vest over the remaining requisite service period.

Stock option activity during 2011 is as follows (number of options and aggregate intrinsic value in thousands):


	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding at December 31, 2010		—		$	—		—	$	—
Options granted		54,500			9.40		9.88		33
Options issued in connection with acquisition		302,446			7.36		3.45		964
Options exercised		(7,813	)		4.86		N/A		N/A
Options cancelled		(2,312	)		7.03		N/A		N/A

Options outstanding at December 31, 2011		346,821			7.74		4.50		947

Options exercisable at December 31, 2011		279,763		$	7.54		3.53	$	851

Restricted stock activity during 2011 is as follows:


	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 31, 2010		—	$	—
Granted		138,320		9.40
Cancelled		—		—
Vested		—		—

Unvested at December 31, 2011		138,320	$	9.40

The grant-date fair value of our stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize expense on all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. The following table summarizes the grant-date fair value of options and the assumptions we used to develop the fair value estimates for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2011:


	2011
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options	$	3.98
Risk-free interest rate		1.2	%
Expected volatility		42	%
Expected life (in years)		6.3
Dividend yield		—	%

Our estimate of expected volatility for stock options granted in 2011 is based upon the volatility of guideline companies given the lack of sufficient historical trading experience of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is the approximate yield on United States Treasury Strips having a life equal to the expected option life on the date of grant. The expected life is an estimate of the number of years an option will be held before it is exercised.

As of December 31, 2011, the unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards was $1.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.1 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2011 was less than $0.1 million.

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

10. Income Taxes

Acadia was formed as a limited liability company (LLC) that is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Some of Acadia’s subsidiaries are organized as LLCs and others as corporations. Prior to April 1, 2011, the Company and its subsidiary LLCs were taxed as flow-through entities and as such, the results of operations of the Company related to the flow-through entities were included in the income tax returns of its members. On April 1, 2011, the Company and its wholly-owned LLC subsidiaries elected to be taxed as a corporation for federal and state income tax purposes, and, therefore, henceforth income taxes are the obligation of the Company.

Management is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Company’s flow-through tax status for periods prior to April 1, 2011.

The Company made tax payments of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company’s benefit from income taxes for continuing operations of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, consists of (a) current and deferred tax expense on the respective periods’ operating results, (b) the recognition of deferred tax expense attributable to the change in federal and state tax status of the Company and its wholly-owned LLC subsidiaries, in accordance with ASC 740 on April 1, 2011 and (c) the effect of non-deductible items, including equity-based compensation expense and certain transaction-related expenses. Any interest and penalties incurred in connection with income taxes are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Significant components of the provision for income taxes from continuing operations are as follows (in thousands):


	Year ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Current:
Federal	$	295		$	514		$	—
State		1,049			108			53

Total current		1,344			622			53
Deferred:
Federal		(5,033	)		—			—
State		(1,583	)		(145	)		—

Total deferred		(6,616	)		(145	)		—

Total income tax expense (benefit)	$	(5,272	)	$	477		$	53

The following table presents the income taxes associated with continuing operations and discontinued operations as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):


	Year ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Continuing operations	$	(5,272	)	$	477		$	53
Discontinued operations		219			(5	)		—

Total	$	(5,053	)	$	472		$	53

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations differed from the federal statutory rate for the periods presented as follows:


	Year ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Income tax at federal statutory rate		35.0	%		34.0	%		34.0	%
Income tax at state statutory rate		1.4			1.2			(1.0	)
Non-deductible equity-based compensation expense		(15.9	)		—			—
Non-deductible transaction-related expenses		(7.2	)		—			—
Change in valuation allowance		(0.8	)		(2.7	)		—
Change in tax status of an enterprise		1.4			—			—
Flow-through to members of Holdings		1.2			(26.3	)		(30.1	)
Other		(1.4	)		0.5			(1.0	)

Effective income tax rate		13.7	%		6.7	%		1.9	%

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Current deferred tax assets are included in other current assets and non-current deferred tax assets are included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:


	December 31, 2011			December 31, 2010
Net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards—federal and state	$	10,257		$	691
Intangibles		992			44
Prepaid items		—			57
Bad debt allowance		3,433			6
Accrued compensation and severance		590			74
Accrued expenses		1,731			376
Insurance reserves		211			315
Other assets		585			21
Valuation allowance		(740	)		(447	)

Total deferred tax assets		17,059			1,137
Fixed asset basis difference		(4,547	)		(947	)
Prepaid items		(267	)		—

Total deferred tax liabilities		(4,814	)		(947	)

Net deferred tax asset (liability)	$	12,245		$	190

The Company’s federal net operating loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are approximately $21.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The Company’s state net operating loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are approximately $45.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The operating losses will expire between 2022 and 2028. Due to changes in ownership control, net operating losses acquired are limited to offset future income pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

The provisions of the guidance for uncertain tax positions allow for the classification of interest on an underpayment of income taxes, when the tax law required interest to be paid, and penalties, when a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid payment of penalties, in income taxes, interest expense or another appropriate expense classification based on the accounting policy election of the company. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalties relative to uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized income tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):


	2011		2010
Balance at January 1,	$	1,050	$	117
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		—		933
Additions for tax positions of prior years		—		—
Reductions as a result of the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations		—		—
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		—		—
Settlements		—		—

Balance at December 31,	$	1,050	$	1,050

None of the uncertain tax positions would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized. The Company has unused U.S. federal and state NOLs for years 2002 through 2007. As such, these years remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Professional Services Agreement

Acadia and Waud Capital Partners were parties to a professional services agreement dated April 1, 2011, pursuant to which Waud Capital Partners rendered general advisory and management services with respect to financial and operating matters, including advice on corporate strategy, budgeting of future corporate investment, acquisition and divestiture strategy and debt and equity financing. Effective November 1, 2011, Waud Capital Partners and Acadia terminated the professional services agreement and Acadia paid a fee of $20.6 million to Waud Capital Partners pursuant to the terms of the related termination agreement.

The parties entered into the professional services agreement in connection with entering into the second amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Acadia Holdings on April 1, 2011 (the “Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement”), which amended and restated Acadia Holdings’ prior limited liability company agreement dated August 31, 2009 (the “Prior LLC Agreement”). Pursuant to the professional services agreement, Acadia was obligated to pay the following fees to Waud Capital Partners: (i) upon consummation of any credit facility (including any amendments to existing credit facilities which have the effect of increasing the committed amount under such facility, but excluding any credit facility entered into after April 1, 2011 with any affiliate of Waud Capital Partners if such affiliate is receiving a closing or similar fee in connection with such facility), financing fees in cash in an aggregate amount to equal 1.5% of the aggregate principal amount of all such loans (or 1.0% of the aggregate amount of all public bond issuances); (ii) advisory fees in connection with the negotiation and consummation of any acquisitions and/or dispositions by Acadia or any of its subsidiaries in an aggregate amount equal to 2.0% of the gross purchase price of any such acquisition or disposition (including any debt or other liabilities assumed or otherwise included in the transaction(s)), as compensation for the negotiation, arranging and structuring services Waud Capital Partners has agreed to provide Acadia with respect thereto; and (iii) upon consummation of a sale of Acadia (as defined), a sale fee in cash in an amount equal to 1.5% of the enterprise value assigned to Acadia Holdings and its subsidiaries in connection with or implied by such sale of Acadia, as compensation for the negotiation, structuring and other services Waud Capital Partners has agreed to provide Acadia with respect to such sale of Acadia.

Under the professional services agreement, Waud Capital Partners charged Acadia a management fee for advisory and management services of $2.0 million per year. Management fees for the period from April 1, 2011 to the termination of the professional services agreement on November 1, 2011 were approximately $1.3 million.

The professional services agreement also provided for the reimbursement of Waud Capital Partners for its reasonable travel expenses, legal fees and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses in connection with activities undertaken pursuant to such agreement. Additionally, Waud Capital Partners and its affiliates (other than Acadia and its subsidiaries) were indemnified for liabilities incurred in connection with their role under the professional services agreement, other than for liabilities resulting from their gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.

In connection with entry into the professional services agreement, the amendment and restatement of the Prior LLC Agreement and the consummation of Acadia’s acquisition of YFCS, Waud Capital Partners received $6.15 million in fees from Acadia on April 1, 2011, which consisted of a $3.6 million transaction fee, a $450,000 commitment fee and a $2.1 million financing fee.

Prior to entry into the professional services agreement, Waud Capital Partners was entitled to receive the following fees from Acadia Holdings pursuant to the Prior LLC Agreement: (i) an annual advisory fee, payable on a semi-annual basis, as compensation for the financial and management consulting services Waud Capital Partners had agreed to provide Acadia Holdings and its subsidiaries with respect to their business and financial management generally and its financial affairs; and (ii) upon consummation of any credit facility (including amendments to existing credit facilities which have the effect of increasing the amount to be drawn under such facility by Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries, but excluding any credit facility entered into after December 30, 2005 with any affiliate of Waud Capital Partners if such affiliate is receiving a closing or similar fee in connection with such facility) entered into by Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries after December 30, 2005, financing fees in an aggregate amount to equal 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all such loans (or 1.0% of the aggregate amount of all public bond issuances), as compensation for the negotiation, arranging and structuring services Waud Capital Partners had agreed to provide to Acadia Holdings or its subsidiaries. Waud Capital Partners was also entitled to receive an annual advisory fee, payable semi-annually, under the Prior LLC Agreement (and its predecessor). Such fee was initially set at $350,000 per annum, subject to annual increases of $50,000, up to $600,000, effective January 1st of each year beginning January 1, 2007. Waud Capital Partners deferred the payment of all such management fees in accordance with the terms of the Prior LLC Agreement. On April 1, 2011 in connection with entry into the Acadia Holdings LLC Agreement, Waud Capital Partners received approximately $7.1 million of Acadia Holdings equity in exchange for fees it had previously deferred in accordance with the Prior LLC Agreement.

True Partners Engagement Agreement

Acadia and True Partners Consulting LLC (“True Partners”), an affiliate of Waud Capital Partners, are parties to an engagement agreement dated January 7, 2011, pursuant to which True Partners renders tax consulting and compliance services to Acadia and its affiliated entities. As of December 31, 2011, Waud Capital Partners and its affiliates indirectly owned a majority of the True Partners membership interests. The engagement agreement will automatically terminate upon the completion of the services to be rendered by True Partners thereunder. Either party may terminate the engagement agreement upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party. Upon such termination, True Partners shall be entitled to receive payment for services performed and expenses incurred through the date of termination. Pursuant to the engagement agreement, Acadia pays certain fixed fees to True Partners for various tax consulting and compliance services, which are billed monthly as incurred. Acadia paid $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million to True Partners for such services in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the event of a large transaction or other activity not otherwise covered under the engagement agreement for which True Partners provide services to Acadia, True Partners will provide consulting services to Acadia at its standard hourly rates, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
