Item 1. Business

Magellan Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan") was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Magellan's executive offices are located at 55 Nod Road, Avon, Connecticut 06001, and its telephone number at that location is (860) 507-1900. Reference in this report to the "Company" includes Magellan, its majority owned subsidiaries, and all variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which Magellan is the primary beneficiary.

Business Overview

The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business, and its principal offices and operations are in the United States. Through 2005, the Company predominantly operated in the managed behavioral healthcare business. During 2006, the Company expanded into radiology benefits management and specialty pharmaceutical management as a result of its January 31, 2006 acquisition of National Imaging Associates, Inc. ("NIA") and its July 31, 2006 acquisition of ICORE Healthcare LLC ("ICORE"), respectively. The Company provides services to health plans, insurance companies, corporations, labor unions and various governmental agencies. The Company's business is divided into the following six segments, based on the services it provides and/or the customers that it serves, as described below.

Managed Behavioral Healthcare. The Company's managed behavioral healthcare business is composed of three of the Company's segments, each as described further below. This line of business generally reflects the Company's coordination and management of the delivery of behavioral healthcare treatment services that are provided through its contracted network of third-party treatment providers, which includes psychiatrists, psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric beds, residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities. The treatment services provided through the Company's provider network include outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy), intermediate care programs (such as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services), inpatient treatment and crisis intervention services. The Company generally does not directly provide, or own any provider of, treatment services except as relates to the Company's contract to provide managed behavioral healthcare services to Medicaid recipients and other beneficiaries of the Maricopa County Regional Behavioral Health Authority (the "Maricopa Contract"), which is discussed further in Note 10—"Commitments and Contingencies-Maricopa Contract" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. Under the Maricopa Contract, the Company was required to assume the operations of twenty-four behavioral health direct care facilities for a transitional period and to divest itself of these facilities over the following two years pursuant to a schedule as set forth in the Maricopa Contract.

The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per month fee, (ii) administrative services only ("ASO") products, where the Company provides services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume responsibility for the cost of the treatment services, and (iii) employee assistance programs ("EAPs") where the Company provides short-term outpatient counseling.

The managed behavioral healthcare business is managed based on the services provided and/or the customers served, through the following three segments:

Health Plan. The Managed Behavioral Healthcare Health Plan segment ("Health Plan") generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services provided under contracts with managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans for some or all of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members. Health Plan's contracts encompass either risk-based or ASO arrangements or both. As of December 31, 2007, Health Plan's covered lives were 5.6 million, 0.2 million and 20.7 million for risk-based, EAP and ASO products, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Health Plan's revenue was $530.6 million, $1.3 million and $126.5 million for risk-based, EAP and ASO products, respectively.

Employer. The Managed Behavioral Healthcare Employer segment ("Employer") generally reflects the provision of EAP services and managed behavioral healthcare services under contracts with employers, including corporations and governmental agencies, and labor unions. Employer contracts can be for either EAP or managed behavioral healthcare services, or both. Employer contracts containing provision of managed behavioral healthcare services can be risk-based or ASO, but currently are primarily ASO. As of December 31, 2007, Employer's covered lives were 0.1 million, 13.6 million and 0.5 million for risk-based, EAP and ASO products, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Employer's revenue was $6.4 million, $102.7 million and $17.0 million for risk-based, EAP and ASO products, respectively.

Public Sector. The Managed Behavioral Healthcare Public Sector segment ("Public Sector") generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services provided to Medicaid recipients under contracts with state and local governmental agencies. Public Sector contracts encompass either risk-based or ASO arrangements. As of December 31, 2007, Public Sector's covered lives were 2.1 million and 0.2 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Public Sector's revenue was $1.0 billion and $4.4 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively.

Radiology Benefits Management. The Company's Radiology Benefits Management segment generally reflects the management of the delivery of diagnostic imaging services to ensure that such services are clinically appropriate and cost effective. The Company's radiology benefits management services currently are provided under contracts with managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans for some or all of their commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members. The Company has bid and may bid in the future on contracts with state and local governmental agencies for the provision of such services to Medicaid recipients. The Company won one Medicaid contract last year; however, its implementation has been postponed by the agency. The Company offers its radiology benefits management services through ASO contracts, where the Company provides services such as utilization review and claims administration, but does not assume responsibility for the cost of the imaging services and through risk-based contracts, where the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing diagnostic imaging services. The Company's first two risk-based radiology benefits management contracts became effective June 1, 2007 and July 1, 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, covered lives for Radiology Benefits Management were 2.2 million and 19.1 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively. For the year ended

December 31, 2007, revenue for Radiology Benefits Management was $118.2 million and $52.0 million for risk-based and ASO products, respectively.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management. The Company's Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment generally reflects the management of specialty drugs used in the treatment of cancer, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia, infertility, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic forms of hepatitis and other diseases. Specialty pharmaceutical drugs represent high-cost injectible, infused, oral, or inhaled drugs which traditional retail pharmacies typically do not supply due to their high cost, sensitive handling, and storage needs. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical management services are provided under contracts with managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans for some or all of their commercial, Medicare and Medicaid members. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical services include (i) distributing specialty pharmaceutical drugs on behalf of health plans, (ii) administering on behalf of health plans rebate agreements between health plans and pharmaceutical manufacturers, and (iii) providing consulting services to health plans and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Company's Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment had contracts with 30 health plans as of December 31, 2007.

Corporate and Other. This segment of the Company is comprised primarily of operational support functions such as sales and marketing and information technology, as well as corporate support functions such as executive, finance, human resources and legal.

Acquisition of National Imaging Associates

On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of NIA, a privately held radiology benefits management ("RBM") firm, for approximately $121 million in cash, after giving effect to cash acquired in the transaction, and NIA became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company reports the results of operations of NIA in the Radiology Benefits Management segment. For further discussion, see Note 3—"Acquisitions and Joint Ventures" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

Acquisition of ICORE Healthcare, LLC

On July 31, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding units of membership interest of ICORE, a specialty pharmaceutical management company, and ICORE became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company reports the results of operations of ICORE in the Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment. For further discussion, see Note 3—"Acquisitions and Joint Ventures" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

aggregate of 543,879 restricted shares of the Company's common stock on a basis proportional to each unitholder's economic interest in ICORE at a purchase price of $44.13 per share, which was the average of the closing prices of the Company's common stock on NASDAQ for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the closing. The Deferred Payment and the remaining estimated Working Capital Payments are included in Deferred Credits and Other Long-Term Liabilities and in Accrued Liabilities, respectively, on the Company's accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2007. The Earn-Out has two parts: (i) up to $25 million based on earnings for the 18 month period ended December 31, 2007 and (ii) up to $50 million based on earnings in 2008. The Earn-Out, if earned, is payable 33 percent in cash and 67 percent in Magellan restricted stock that vests over two years after issuance. Any Earn-Out will be recognized as compensation expense over the applicable period that it is earned, because in order for potential recipients to receive any Earn-Out consideration, they must be employed by the Company at the time such consideration is distributed. The unitholders did not earn any of the potential Earn-Out of $25 million for the 18 month period ended December 31, 2007, nor has any amount of Earn-Out pertaining to 2008 been accrued as of December 31, 2007.

Industry

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), U.S. healthcare spending was projected to increase 6.6 percent to over $2.2 trillion in 2007, representing more than 16 percent of the gross domestic product. Healthcare is a rapidly evolving field where clinical and technological advancements can create business opportunities for firms with specialized expertise in certain niches of care management. The Company has transformed itself into a specialty managed healthcare company by entering areas of healthcare cost management that represent a meaningful portion of the healthcare dollar and that are growing at a disproportionately higher rate than other areas of healthcare. The Company defines areas of healthcare that can be carved out for specialty healthcare management to be areas where:

•: The management and cost of care are separable from other areas of healthcare management;
•: The Company believes that it can provide value to its customers in managing the care beyond what such customers can achieve on their own;
•: The value that the Company provides to its customers is measurable.

The Company's first specialty healthcare product was the management of behavioral healthcare. In 2006 the Company added both radiology benefits management and specialty pharmaceutical management services to its product offering through acquisitions of companies in these businesses.

Business Strategy

The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business. It currently provides managed behavioral healthcare services, radiology benefit management services, and specialty pharmaceutical management services. The Company's strategy is to expand its participation in the healthcare management services market through the expansion of its existing businesses and diversification into new specialties and services. The Company believes that its clients would prefer to consolidate outsourced vendors and that as a vendor offering multiple outsourced products, it will have a competitive advantage in the market. The Company seeks to grow its specialty managed healthcare business through the following initiatives:

Expanding the radiology benefits management services business. The Company entered the RBM business through its acquisition of NIA on January 31, 2006. Since that time, the Company has embarked on its strategy of expanding NIA's current product offering into risk-based products. The Company has leveraged its information systems, call center, and claims infrastructure as well as its financial strength and underwriting expertise to facilitate the expansion into risk-based RBM products.

In that regard, the Company has modified its claims system, developed and continues to expand a proprietary network of providers, and upgraded its call centers. During 2007, the Company implemented its first two risk-based contracts. The Company intends to continue marketing its risk-based contracts to current ASO customers as well as to new RBM customers, including through cross-selling to its managed behavioral healthcare and specialty pharmaceutical management customer base.

Expanding the specialty pharmaceutical management business. The Company entered the specialty pharmaceutical management business through its acquisition of ICORE on July 31, 2006. The Company believes it can leverage its operational platform and expertise to expand and enhance ICORE's product offering. The Company intends to cross-sell ICORE's products to its current managed behavioral healthcare and radiology benefits management customer base.

Expanded penetration of products in new or growing markets. The Company seeks to expand its services in new and/or growing markets. In recent years, the Medicaid market has increased its use of specialty managed healthcare services. With Medicaid experience in managed behavioral healthcare, radiology benefits management and specialty pharmaceutical management, the Company believes it is positioned to grow its membership and revenues in the Medicaid market over the long term as a result of its proven expertise in managing these services. The Company also believes that it might be able to expand the use of radiology benefits management into new arenas such as Medicare and/or the direct-to-employer market at some time in the future.

Continued diversification of business. The Company continually evaluates opportunities to enter other specialty healthcare businesses or healthcare services that are complementary to its existing operations, that could accelerate its entrance into new products, and/or that could leverage its existing customer relationships.

The Company's current capital structure provides it with the flexibility to consider potential acquisitions that meet its strategic criteria as a possible means to accomplish its strategic objectives.

Customer Contracts

The Company's contracts with customers typically have terms of one to three years, and in certain cases contain renewal provisions (at the customer's option) for successive terms of between one and two years (unless terminated earlier). Substantially all of these contracts may be immediately terminated with cause and many of the Company's contracts are terminable without cause by the customer or the Company either upon the giving of requisite notice and the passage of a specified period of time (typically between 60 and 180 days) or upon the occurrence of other specified events. In addition, the Company's contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies generally are conditioned on legislative appropriations. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if such appropriations are not made. The Company's contracts for managed behavioral healthcare and radiology benefits management services generally provide for payment of a per member per month fee to the Company. See "Risk Factors—Risk-Based Products" and "—Reliance on Customer Contracts."

The Company's contracts with the State of Tennessee's TennCare program ("TennCare") and with subsidiaries of WellPoint, Inc. ("WellPoint"), each generated revenues that exceeded, in the aggregate, ten percent of revenues for the consolidated Company, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. See further discussion related to these significant customers in "Risk Factors—Reliance on Customer Contracts." In addition, see "Risk Factors—Dependence on Government Spending" for discussion of risks to the Company related to government contracts.

Provider Network

Except for certain services provided under the Maricopa Contract (see "Business—Managed Behavioral Healthcare"), the Company's managed behavioral healthcare services and EAP treatment services are provided by a contracted network of third-party providers, including psychiatrists, psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric beds, residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities. The number and type of providers in a particular area depend upon customer preference, site, geographic concentration and demographic composition of the beneficiary population in that area. The Company's managed behavioral healthcare network consists of approximately 75,000 behavioral healthcare providers, including facility locations, providing various levels of care nationwide. The Company's network providers are almost exclusively independent contractors located throughout the local areas in which the Company's customers' beneficiary populations reside. Outpatient network providers work out of their own offices, although the Company's personnel are available to assist them with consultation and other needs.

Non-facility network providers include both individual practitioners, as well as individuals who are members of group practices or other licensed centers or programs. Non-facility network providers typically execute standard contracts with the Company under which they are generally paid on a fee-for-service basis.

Third-party network facilities include inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, intensive outpatient facilities, partial hospitalization facilities, community health centers and other community-based facilities, rehabilitative and support facilities and other intermediate care and alternative care facilities or programs. This variety of facilities enables the Company to offer patients a full continuum of care and to refer patients to the most appropriate facility or program within that continuum. Typically, the Company contracts with facilities on a per diem or fee-for-service basis and, in some limited cases, on a "case rate" or capitated basis. The contracts between the Company and inpatient and other facilities typically are for one-year terms and are terminable by the Company or the facility upon 30 to 120 days' notice.

Historically, the Company's radiology benefits management services were provided by a network of third-party providers that are contracted by the customers of the Company to provide such services to the customers' members or enrollees. To support its offering of risk-based arrangements, the Company has developed and continues to expand a proprietary network of providers directly, through the use of its internal networking resources, and indirectly through a network contracting company. Network providers include diagnostic imaging centers, radiology departments of hospitals that provide advanced imaging services on an outpatient basis, and individual physicians or physician groups that own advanced imaging equipment and specialize in certain specific areas of care. The Company contracts with these providers on a fee-for-service basis.

Joint Ventures

Prior to April 11, 2006, Premier Behavioral Systems of Tennessee, LLC ("Premier") was a joint venture in which the Company owned a 50 percent interest. On April 11, 2006, the Company purchased the other 50 percent interest in Premier for $1.5 million, so that Premier is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Premier was formed to manage behavioral healthcare benefits for a certain portion of TennCare. In addition, the Company contracted with Premier to provide certain services to the joint venture. Through 2003, the Company accounted for its investment in Premier using the equity method. Effective December 31, 2003, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51" ("FIN 46"), under which the Company consolidated the balance sheet of Premier in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003. Beginning in 2004, the

Company consolidated the results of operations of Premier in its consolidated statement of income. The creditors (or other beneficial interest holders) of Premier have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company owned a 37.5 percent interest in Royal Health Care, LLC ("Royal"). Royal was a managed services organization that received management fees for the provision of administrative, marketing, management and support services to seven managed care organizations. Royal did not provide any services to the Company.

The Company accounted for its investment in Royal using the equity method. Effective February 2, 2006, the Company sold its Royal ownership interest back to Royal in exchange for cash proceeds of $20.5 million. See Note 3—"Acquisitions and Joint Ventures" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for further information on Royal.

Competition

The Company's business is highly competitive. The Company competes with other healthcare organizations as well as with insurance companies, including health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"), preferred provider organizations ("PPOs"), third-party administrators ("TPAs"), independent practitioner associations ("IPAs"), multi-disciplinary medical groups, pharmacy benefit managers ("PBMs") and other specialty healthcare and managed care companies. Many of the Company's competitors, particularly certain insurance companies, HMOs and PBM's are significantly larger and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company, and some of the Company's competitors provide a broader range of services. The Company may also encounter competition in the future from new market entrants. In addition, some of the Company's customers that are managed care companies, may seek to provide specialty managed healthcare services directly to their subscribers, rather than by contracting with the Company for such services. Because of these factors, the Company does not expect to be able to rely to a significant degree on price increases to achieve revenue growth, and expects to continue experiencing pricing pressures.

Insurance

The Company maintains a program of insurance coverage for a broad range of risks in its business. The Company has renewed its general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with unaffiliated insurers for a one-year period from June 17, 2007 to June 17, 2008. The general liability policies are written on an "occurrence" basis, subject to a $0.1 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The professional liability and managed care errors and omissions liability policies are written on a "claims-made" basis, subject to a $1.0 million per claim ($10.0 million per class action claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention for managed care liability, and a $0.1 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention for professional liability.

The Company maintains separate general and professional liability insurance policies with an unaffiliated insurer for its Specialty Pharmaceutical Management business. The Specialty Pharmaceutical Management insurance policies have a one-year term for the period June 17, 2007 to June 17, 2008. The general liability policies are written on an "occurrence" basis, subject to a $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The professional liability policy is written on a "claims-made" basis, subject to a $0.05 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention.

The Company maintains separate general and professional liability insurance policies with an unaffiliated insurer for its Maricopa Contract business, which include coverage for the behavioral health direct care facilities. The Maricopa Contract insurance policies have a one-year term for the period August 31, 2007 to September 1, 2008. The general liability policies are written on an "occurrence" basis, subject to a $0.35 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The professional liability policy is written on a "claims-made" basis, subject to a $0.35 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention.

The Company is responsible for claims within its self-insured retentions, and for portions of claims reported after the expiration date of the policies if they are not renewed, or if policy limits are exceeded. The Company also purchases excess liability coverage in an amount that management believes to be reasonable for the size and profile of the organization. See "Risk Factors—Professional Liability and Other Insurance," for a discussion of the risks associated with the Company's insurance coverage.

Regulation

General. The specialty managed healthcare industry is subject to extensive and evolving state and federal regulation. The Company is subject to certain state laws and regulations, including those governing the licensing of insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs, TPAs, companies engaged in utilization review and specialty pharmaceutical management. In addition, the Company is subject to regulations concerning the licensing of healthcare professionals, including restrictions on business corporations from providing, controlling or exercising excessive influence over healthcare services through the direct employment of physicians, psychiatrists or, in certain states, psychologists and other healthcare professionals. These laws and regulations vary considerably among states and the Company may be subject to different types of laws and regulations depending on the specific regulatory approach adopted by each state to regulate the managed care and specialty pharmacy businesses and the provision of healthcare treatment services. In addition, the Company is subject to certain federal laws as a result of the role it assumes in connection with managing its customers' employee benefit plans. The regulatory scheme generally applicable to the Company's operations is described in this section.

The Company believes its operations are structured to comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations and that it has received all licenses and approvals that are material to the operation of its business. However, regulation of the specialty managed healthcare industry is constantly evolving, with new legislative enactments and regulatory initiatives at the state and federal levels being implemented on a regular basis. Consequently, it is possible that a court or regulatory agency may take a position under existing or future laws or regulations, or as a result of a change in the interpretation thereof, that such laws or regulations apply to the Company in a different manner than the Company believes such laws or regulations apply. Moreover, any such position may require significant alterations to the Company's business operations in order to comply with such laws or regulations, or interpretations thereof. Expansion of the Company's business to cover additional geographic areas, to serve different types of customers, to provide new services or to commence new operations could also subject the Company to additional license requirements and/or regulation. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse affect on the Company.

Licenses. Certain regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Company possess discretionary powers when issuing or renewing licenses or granting approval of proposed actions such as mergers, a change in ownership, transfer or assignment of licenses and certain intra-corporate transactions. One or multiple agencies may require as a condition of such license or approval that the Company cease or modify certain of its operations or modify the way it operates in order to comply with applicable regulatory requirements or policies. In addition, the time necessary to obtain a license or approval varies from state to state, and difficulties in obtaining a necessary license or approval may result in delays in the Company's plans to expand operations in a particular state and, in some cases, lost business opportunities. In recent years, in response to governmental agency inquiries or discussions with regulators, the Company has determined to seek licensing for its managed behavioral healthcare and radiology benefits management business as a single service HMO, TPA or utilization review agent in one or more jurisdictions. Compliance activities, mandated changes in the Company's operations, delays in the expansion of the Company's business or lost business opportunities as a result of regulatory requirements or policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company. As discussed below, the

Company is subject to certain state licensure requirements in relation to its specialty pharmaceutical management business.

Insurance, HMO and PPO Activities. To the extent that the Company operates or is deemed to operate in some states as an insurance company, HMO, PPO or similar entity, it may be required to comply with certain laws and regulations that, among other things, may require the Company to maintain certain types of assets and minimum levels of deposits, capital, surplus, reserves or net worth. In many states, entities that assume risk under contracts with licensed insurance companies or HMOs have not been considered by state regulators to be conducting an insurance or HMO business. As a result, the Company has not sought licenses as either an insurer or HMO in certain states. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the "NAIC") has undertaken a comprehensive review of the regulatory status of entities arranging for the provision of healthcare services through a network of providers that, like the Company, may assume risk for the cost and quality of healthcare services, but that are not currently licensed as an HMO or similar entity. As a result of this review, the NAIC developed a "health organizations risk-based capital" formula, designed specifically for managed care organizations, that establishes a minimum amount of capital necessary for a managed care organization to support its overall operations, allowing consideration for the organization's size and risk profile. The NAIC also adopted a model regulation in the area of health plan standards, which could be adopted by individual states in whole or in part, and could result in the Company being required to meet additional or new standards in connection with its existing operations. Certain states, for example, have adopted regulations based on the NAIC initiative, and as a result, the Company has been subject to certain minimum capital requirements in those states. Certain other states, such as Maryland, Texas, New York and New Jersey, have also adopted their own regulatory initiatives that subject entities such as certain of the Company's subsidiaries to regulation under state insurance laws. This includes, but is not limited to, requiring adherence to specific financial solvency standards. State insurance laws and regulations may limit the Company's ability to pay dividends, make certain investments and repay certain indebtedness. Being licensed as an insurance company, HMO or similar entity could also subject the Company to regulations governing reporting and disclosure, mandated benefits, rate setting and other traditional insurance regulatory requirements. PPO regulations to which the Company may be subject may require the Company to register with a state authority and provide information concerning its operations, particularly relating to provider and payor contracting. The imposition of such requirements could increase the Company's cost of doing business and could delay the Company's conduct or expansion of its business in some areas. The licensing process under state insurance laws can be lengthy and, unless the applicable state regulatory agency allows the Company to continue to operate while the licensing process is ongoing, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its operating results and financial condition while its license application is pending. In addition, failure to obtain and maintain required licenses typically also constitutes an event of default under the Company's contracts with its customers. The loss of business from one or more of the Company's major customers as a result of such an event of default or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Regulators may impose operational restrictions on entities granted licenses to operate as insurance companies or HMOs. For example, the California Department of Managed Health Care has imposed certain restrictions on the ability of the Company's California subsidiaries to fund the Company's operations in other states, to guarantee or co-sign for the Company's financial obligations, or to pledge or hypothecate the stock of these subsidiaries and on the Company's ability to make certain operational changes with respect to these subsidiaries. In addition, regulators of certain of the Company's subsidiaries may exercise certain discretionary rights under regulations including, without limitation, increasing its supervision of such entities, requiring additional restricted cash or other security.

Utilization Review and Third-Party Administrator Activities. Numerous states in which the Company does business have adopted regulations governing entities engaging in utilization review and TPA

activities. Utilization review regulations typically impose requirements with respect to the qualifications of personnel reviewing proposed treatment, timeliness and notice of the review of proposed treatment and other matters. TPA regulations typically impose requirements regarding claims processing and payments and the handling of customer funds. Utilization review and TPA regulations may increase the Company's cost of doing business in the event that compliance requires the Company to retain additional personnel to meet the regulatory requirements and to take other required actions and make necessary filings. Although compliance with utilization review regulations has not had a material adverse effect on the Company, there can be no assurance that specific regulations adopted in the future would not have such a result, particularly since the nature, scope and specific requirements of such provisions vary considerably among states that have adopted regulations of this type.

Numerous states require the licensing or certification of entities performing utilization review or TPA activities. However, certain federal courts have held that such licensing requirements are preempted by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). ERISA preempts state laws that mandate employee benefit structures or their administration, as well as those that provide alternative enforcement mechanisms. The Company believes that its TPA activities performed for its self-insured employee benefit plan customers are exempt from otherwise applicable state licensing or registration requirements based upon federal preemption under ERISA and have relied on this general principle in determining not to seek licenses for certain of the Company's activities in many states. Existing case law is not uniform on the applicability of ERISA preemption with respect to state regulation of utilization review or TPA activities. There can be no assurance that additional licenses will not be required with respect to utilization review or TPA activities in certain states.

Licensing of Healthcare Professionals. The provision of healthcare treatment services by physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and other providers is subject to state regulation with respect to the licensing of healthcare professionals. The Company believes that the healthcare professionals who provide healthcare treatment on behalf of or under contracts with the Company and the case managers and other personnel of the health services business are in compliance with the applicable state licensing requirements and current interpretations thereof. However, there can be no assurance that changes in such state licensing requirements or interpretations thereof will not adversely affect the Company's existing operations or limit expansion. With respect to the Company's crisis intervention program, additional licensing of clinicians who provide telephonic assessment or stabilization services to individuals who are calling from out-of-state may be required if such assessment or stabilization services are deemed by regulatory agencies to be treatment provided in the state of such individual's residence. The Company believes that any such additional licenses could be obtained.

Prohibition on Fee Splitting and Corporate Practice of Professions. The laws of some states limit the ability of a business corporation to directly provide, control or exercise excessive influence over healthcare services through the direct employment of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, or other healthcare professionals, who are providing direct clinical services. In addition, the laws of some states prohibit physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, or other healthcare professionals from splitting fees with other persons or entities. These laws and their interpretations vary from state to state and enforcement by the courts and regulatory authorities may vary from state to state and may change over time. The Company believes that its operations as currently conducted are in material compliance with the applicable laws. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's existing operations and its contractual arrangements with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and other healthcare professionals will not be successfully challenged under state laws prohibiting fee splitting or the practice of a profession by an unlicensed entity, or that the enforceability of such contractual arrangements will not be limited. The Company believes that it could, if necessary, restructure its operations to comply with changes in the interpretation or enforcement of such laws and regulations, and that such restructuring would not have a material adverse effect on its operations.

Direct Contracting with Licensed Insurers. Regulators in several states in which the Company does business have adopted policies that require HMOs or, in some instances, insurance companies, to contract directly with licensed healthcare providers, entities or provider groups, such as IPAs, for the provision of treatment services, rather than with unlicensed intermediary companies. In such states, the Company's customary model of contracting directly is modified so that, for example, the IPAs (rather than the Company) contract directly with the HMO or insurance company, as appropriate, for the provision of treatment services.

HIPAA. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") to adopt standards relating to the transmission, privacy and security of health information by healthcare providers and healthcare plans. Confidentiality and patient privacy requirements are particularly strict in the Company's behavioral managed care business. In connection with HIPAA, the Company initially commissioned a dedicated HIPAA project management office to achieve compliance within the required timeframes. Oversight responsibilities for HIPAA compliance is now being handled by the Company's Corporate Compliance Department. The Company believes it is currently in compliance with the provisions of HIPAA.

Other Significant Privacy Regulation. The privacy regulation under HIPAA generally does not preempt state law except under the following limited circumstances: (i) the privacy rights afforded under state law are contrary to those provided by HIPAA so that compliance with both standards is not possible and (ii) HIPAA's privacy protections are more stringent than the state law in question. Because many states have privacy laws that either provide more stringent privacy protections than those imposed by HIPAA or laws that can be followed in addition to HIPAA, the Company must address privacy issues under HIPAA and state law as well. While the Company has always been required to follow state privacy laws, the Company now has had to review these state laws against HIPAA to determine whether it must comply with standards established by both HIPAA and state law. In addition, HIPAA has created an increased awareness of the issues surrounding privacy, which may generate more state regulatory scrutiny in this area.

Federal Anti-Remuneration/Fraud And Abuse Laws. The federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute (the "Anti-Kickback Statute") prohibits, among other things, an entity from paying or receiving, subject to certain exceptions and "safe harbors," any remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce the referral of individuals covered by federally funded health care programs, or the purchase, or the arranging for or recommending of the purchase, of items or services for which payment may be made in whole, or in part, under Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE or other federally funded health care programs. Sanctions for violating the Anti-Kickback Statute may include imprisonment, criminal and civil fines and exclusion from participation in the federally funded health care programs. The Anti-Kickback Statute has been interpreted broadly by courts, the Office of Inspector General ("OIG") within the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services ("DHHS"), and other administrative bodies. It also is a crime under the Public Contractor Anti-Kickback Statute, for any person to knowingly and willfully offer or provide any remuneration to a prime contractor to the United States, including a contractor servicing federally funded health programs, in order to obtain favorable treatment in a subcontract. Violators of this law also may be subject to civil monetary penalties.

Federal Statutes Prohibiting False Claims. The Federal False Claims Act imposes civil penalties for knowingly making or causing to be made false claims with respect to governmental programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, for services not rendered, or for misrepresenting actual services rendered, in order to obtain higher reimbursement. Private individuals may bring qui tam or whistle blower suits against providers under the Federal False Claims Act, which authorizes the payment of a portion of any recovery to the individual bringing suit. A few federal district courts recently have interpreted the Federal False Claims Act as applying to claims for reimbursement that violate the Anti-Kickback

Statute under certain circumstances. The Federal False Claims Act generally provides for the imposition of civil penalties and for treble damages, resulting in the possibility of substantial financial penalties for small billing errors. Criminal provisions that are similar to the Federal False Claims Act provide that a corporation may be fined if it is convicted of presenting to any federal agency a claim or making a statement that it knows to be false, fictitious or fraudulent. Even in situations where the Company does not directly provide services to beneficiaries of federally funded health programs and, accordingly, does not directly submit claims to the federal government, it is possible that the Company could nevertheless become involved in a situation where false claim issues are raised based on allegations that it caused or assisted a government contractor in making a false claim.

The Company is subject to certain provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (the "Act"). The Act requires entities that receive $5 million or more in annual Medicaid payments to establish written policies that provide detailed information about the Federal False Claims Act and the remedies thereunder, as well as any state laws pertaining to civil or criminal penalties for false claims and statements, the "whistleblower" protections afforded under such laws, and the role of such laws in preventing and detecting fraud waste and abuse. The written policies are to be disseminated to all employees, contractors and agents which or who, on behalf of the entity, furnishes, or otherwise authorizes the furnishing of, Medicaid health care items or services; performs billing or coding functions, or is involved in the monitoring of health care provided by the entity. In addition, any such entity that has an employee handbook must include a specific discussion of the federal and state false claims laws, the rights of an employee to be protected as a whistle blower and the entity's policies and procedures for detecting and preventing fraud, waste and abuse.

State Anti-Remuneration/False Claims Law. Several states have laws and/or regulations similar to the federal anti-remuneration and Federal False Claims Act described above. Sanctions for violating these state anti-remuneration and false claims laws may include injunction, imprisonment, criminal and civil fines and exclusion from participation in the state Medicaid programs.

ERISA. Certain of the Company's services are subject to the provisions of ERISA. ERISA governs certain aspects of the relationship between employer-sponsored healthcare benefit plans and certain providers of services to such plans through a series of complex laws and regulations that are subject to periodic interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the U.S. Department of Labor. In some circumstances, and under certain customer contracts, the Company may be expressly named as a "fiduciary" under ERISA, or be deemed to have assumed duties that make it an ERISA fiduciary, and thus be required to carry out its operations in a manner that complies with ERISA in all material respects. The Company believes that it is in material compliance with ERISA and that such compliance does not currently have a material adverse effect on its operations, there can be no assurance that continuing ERISA compliance efforts or any future changes to ERISA will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Regulation of Customers. Regulations imposed upon the Company's customers include, among other things, benefits mandated by statute, exclusions from coverage prohibited by statute, procedures governing the payment and processing of claims, record keeping and reporting requirements, requirements for and payment rates applicable to coverage of Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries, provider contracting and enrollee rights and confidentiality requirements. Although the Company believes that such regulations do not, at present, materially impair its operations, there can be no assurance that such indirect regulation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.

Other Regulation of Healthcare Providers. The Company's business is affected indirectly by regulations imposed upon healthcare providers. Regulations imposed upon healthcare providers include but are not limited to, provisions relating to the conduct of, and ethical considerations involved in, the practice of psychiatry, psychology, social work and related behavioral healthcare professions, radiology,

pharmacy, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, reimbursements for patient services, Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse and, in certain cases, the common law duty to warn others of danger or to prevent patient self-injury. Changes in these regulatory requirements applicable to healthcare providers could impact the Company's business methods and practices and there can be no assurances that the impact would not be adverse and material.

Additional Regulation Affecting the Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment. With the Company's acquisition of ICORE, additional federal and state regulations became applicable to the Company. Various aspects of the Company's specialty pharmaceutical management business are governed by federal and state laws and regulations not previously applicable to the Company or which may now be applicable in different ways. There are significant uncertainties involving the application of many of these legal requirements to the Company.

OIG Compliance Program Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers. In April 2003, the OIG published "Final OIG Compliance Program Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers," ("Compliance Guidance"). The Compliance Guidance is voluntary and is directly aimed at the compliance efforts of pharmaceutical manufacturers. This Compliance Guidance highlights several transactions as potential "risks," including transactions and relationships with PBMs, some of which are similar to transactions and/or relationships that the Company enters into with its customers.

Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, ("MMA") that took effect on January 1, 2006, among other things, created a new voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit for Medicare enrollees on an insured basis through Prescription Drug Plans, ("PDPs"), and by Medicare Advantage Plans ("Part D Activities"), in various regions across the United States. Among other things, PDPs and Medicare Advantage Plans are subject to provisions of the MMA intended to deter fraud, waste and abuse and are monitored strictly by CMS and its contracted Medicare Drug Integrity Contractors ("MEDICs") to ensure that Part D program funds are not spent inappropriately. If CMS determines that the Company has not performed satisfactorily as a subcontractor, CMS may request a PDP or a Medicare Advantage Plan customer of the Company to revoke its Part D activities or responsibilities under the subcontract.

FDA Regulation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") generally has authority to regulate drug promotional materials that are disseminated "by or on behalf of" a drug manufacturer. The Company's business includes the provision of educational seminars for prescribers and other of the Company's customers on behalf of manufacturer clients and thus is subject to the federal laws applicable to the promotion of prescription drugs.

State Comprehensive PBM Regulation. States continue to introduce broad legislation to regulate pharmacy benefits management activities. Some of this legislation could encompass the activities of the Company. In particular, such legislation seeks to impose fiduciary duties or disclosure obligations on entities that provide certain types of pharmacy management services. Both Maine and the District of Columbia have enacted statutes imposing fiduciary obligations on entities providing pharmacy management services.

State Legislation Affecting Plan Or Benefit Design. Some states have enacted legislation that prohibits certain types of managed care plan sponsors from implementing certain restrictive formulary and network design features, and many states have legislation regulating various aspects of managed care plans, including provisions relating to the pharmacy benefits. Other states mandate coverage of certain benefits or conditions and require health plan coverage of specific drugs, if deemed medically necessary by the prescribing physician. Such legislation does not generally apply to the Company directly, but may apply to certain clients of the Company, such as HMOs and health insurers.

Legislation Affecting Drug Prices. Under MMA, Medicare Part B drugs generally are reimbursed on an "average sales price" ("ASP") methodology. This ASP methodology may create an incentive for some drug manufacturers to reduce the levels of discounts or rebates available to purchasers, including the Company, or their clients with respect to Medicare Part B drugs.

The federal Medicaid rebate statute provides that pharmaceutical manufacturers of brand-name outpatient prescription drugs must provide the Medicaid program a rebate in accordance with certain requirements. Investigations have been commenced by certain government agencies which question whether Medicaid rebates were properly calculated in accordance with such requirements, reported and paid by the manufacturers to the Medicaid programs. The Company is not responsible for such calculations, reports or payments, but changes in this area could materially and adversely affect its business.

Regulations Affecting the Company's Pharmacies. The Company owns two pharmacies that provide services to certain of the Company's health plan customers. The activities undertaken by the Company's pharmacies subject the pharmacies to state and federal statutes and regulations governing, among other things, the licensure and operation of mail order and non-resident pharmacies, repackaging of drug products, stocking of prescription drug products and dispensing of prescription drug products, including controlled substances. The Company's pharmacy facilities are located in Florida and New York and are duly licensed to conduct business in those states. Many states, however, require out-of-state mail order pharmacies to register with or be licensed by the state board of pharmacy or similar governing body when pharmaceuticals are delivered by mail into the state and some states require that an out-of-state pharmacy employ a pharmacist that is licensed in the state into which pharmaceuticals are shipped. The Company holds mail order and non-resident pharmacy licenses where required.

Regulation of Controlled Substances. The Company's pharmacies must register with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (the "DEA"), and individual state controlled substance authorities in order to dispense controlled substances. Federal law requires the Company to comply with the DEA's security, recordkeeping, inventory control, and labeling standards in order to dispense controlled substances. State controlled substance law requires registration and compliance with state pharmacy licensure, registration or permit standards promulgated by the state pharmacy licensing authority.

Some of the state regulatory requirements described above may be preempted in whole or in part by ERISA, which provides for comprehensive federal regulation of employee benefit plans. However, the scope of ERISA preemption is uncertain and is subject to conflicting court rulings. As a result, the Company could be subject to overlapping federal and state regulatory requirements in respect of certain of its operations and may need to implement compliance programs that satisfy multiple regulatory regimes.

Other. Most of the Company's distribution contracts with its customers use "average wholesale price" ("AWP") as a benchmark for establishing pricing. As part of a proposed settlement in the case of New England Carpenters Health Benefit Fund, et. al. v. First Data Bank, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:05-CV-11148-PBS (D. Mass.), a case brought against First Data Bank, one of several companies that report data on prescription drug prices, First Data Bank has agreed to reduce the AWP of over 8,000 specific pharmaceutical products by four percent. The proposed settlement received preliminary but not final approval of the court, but at a fairness hearing on January 23, 2008, the court denied approval of the settlement without prejudice. The Company cannot predict whether or when the parties will attempt to cure any deficiencies identified by the court and resubmit the settlement for approval.

In the absence of any action on the part of the Company to renegotiate with its customers the pricing of those pharmaceutical distribution contracts that use AWP, a settlement that involves a reduction in First Data Bank's AWP could adversely affect the margin earned on those distribution contracts that use AWP, however it is not expected to have a material adverse affect on the Company's results of operations.

Other Proposed Legislation. In the last five years, legislation has periodically been introduced at the state and federal levels providing for new healthcare regulatory programs and materially revising existing healthcare regulatory programs. Recently some states including Massachusetts, Maryland and California have enacted or are considering legislation regarding various forms of mandatory or universal health insurance coverage. The proposed California legislation also contains provisions relating to minimum medical loss ratios. Such legislation could include both federal and state bills affecting Medicaid programs which may be pending in, or recently passed by, state legislatures and which are not yet available for review and analysis. Such legislation could also include proposals for national health insurance or state-based mandatory universal health insurance coverage and other forms of federal and state regulation of health insurance and healthcare delivery.

In addition, behavioral health parity legislation is being considered in Congress and could have an impact on the Company should such legislation pass. The legislation seeks to establish parity in financial requirements (e.g. copays, deductibles, etc.) and treatment limitations between mental health benefits and medical/surgical benefits for members.

It is not possible at this time to predict whether any of the legislation discussed above will be adopted at the federal or state level, or the nature, scope or applicability to the Company's business of any such legislation, or when any particular legislation might be implemented. No assurance can be given that any such federal or state legislation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, the Company's risk contracts do allow for repricing to occur effective the same date that any legislation becomes effective if that legislation is projected to have a material affect on cost of care.

Employees of the Registrant

At December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately 5,600 full-time and part-time employees. The Company believes it has satisfactory relations with its employees.

History

Prior to 1997, the Company's primary business was the operation of psychiatric hospitals. In addition, the Company operated, through its human services segment, specialty home-based healthcare services. In late 1997 and early 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Green Spring Health Services, Inc., purchased Human Affairs International, Incorporated, and acquired Merit Behavioral Care Corporation, which were three of the largest managed behavioral healthcare organizations and sold most of its psychiatric hospitals and entered into a franchise arrangement with the buyer. In September 1999, the Company completed its exit from the psychiatric hospital provider and franchising businesses and in March 2001 sold National Mentor, Inc. ("Mentor"), which represented the business and interests which comprised the Company's human services segment. As a result of these transactions, the Company's sole business through 2005 was the managed behavioral healthcare business.

Due primarily to the debt-financed acquisitions noted above, and the subsequent disposal activities, the Company had amassed over $1.0 billion in total debt as of September 30, 2002. The Company concluded that it could no longer support the existing capital structure and determined to restructure its debt to levels that were more in line with its operations. On March 11, 2003 (the "Commencement Date"), Magellan and 88 of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), in order to accomplish such restructuring.

On January 5, 2004 (the "Effective Date"), Magellan and 88 of its subsidiaries consummated their Third Joint Amended Plan of Reorganization, as modified and confirmed (the "Plan"), which had been confirmed by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the

"Bankruptcy Court") on October 8, 2003, and accordingly the Plan became fully effective and the companies emerged from the protection of their chapter 11 proceedings.

Giving effect to the Plan, Magellan and its subsidiaries continued, in their previous organizational form, to conduct their business as previously conducted, with the same assets in all material respects, but the Company was recapitalized. Under the Plan, the Company's senior secured bank indebtedness under its previous credit agreement (the "Old Credit Agreement"), as existing before the Effective Date, was paid in full, and other then-existing indebtedness (i.e., 9.375% senior notes due 2007 (the "Old Senior Notes"), 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 in the principal amount of $625.0 million (the "Old Subordinated Notes") and other general unsecured creditor claims ("Other GUCs")) and the then-existing equity interests in Magellan were cancelled as of the Effective Date in exchange for the distributions provided for by the Plan, all as of the Effective Date.

All distributions were made as of the Effective Date except for distributions related to disputed claims for Other GUCs, for which distributions were made subsequent to the Effective Date periodically as such disputed claims were settled. As of December 31, 2007, the total amount of outstanding, disputed claims for Other GUCs is $2.8 million ("Disputed Claims"). The Company does not believe that it is probable that any liability for the Disputed Claims will be incurred, and thus no liability has been recorded for the Disputed Claims as of December 31, 2007. Nonetheless, the Company has withheld from distribution 89,798 shares of Ordinary Common Stock (the "Reserved Shares") which will be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan upon the final resolution of the Disputed Claims. If the Disputed Claims were to be resolved for the full amount of $2.8 million, then the amount of additional consideration, in addition to the Reserved Shares, that the Company would be required to issue to the individual claimants that filed the Disputed Claims is cash of $0.7 million. If the Disputed Claims are resolved for less than $2.8 million, some or all of the Reserved Shares will be distributed as an incremental distribution to Other GUCs whose claims have been allowed in the bankruptcy.

An affiliate of Onex Corporation, a Canadian corporation, ("Onex"), in connection with the Plan, purchased approximately 8.5 million shares of common stock of Magellan in the form of shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock. During 2005, Onex disposed of all of its holdings in the Company, and therefore all of the outstanding Multi-Vote Common Stock converted into Ordinary Common Stock.

On January 19, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final decree closing the chapter 11 case.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Reliance on Customer Contracts—The Company's inability to renew, extend or replace expiring or terminated contracts could adversely affect the Company's liquidity, profitability and financial condition.

Substantially all of the Company's net revenue is derived from contracts that may be terminated immediately with cause and many, including some of the Company's most significant contracts, are terminable without cause by the customer upon notice and the passage of a specified period of time

(typically between 60 and 180 days), or upon the occurrence of certain other specified events. The Company's ten largest customers accounted for 74.9 percent and 65.9 percent of the Company's net revenue in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Loss of all of these contracts or customers would, and loss of any one of these contracts or customers could, materially reduce the Company's net revenue and have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, profitability and financial condition.

The Company's contracts with TennCare and with subsidiaries of WellPoint each generated revenues that exceeded, in the aggregate, ten percent of revenues for the consolidated Company for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. Revenues from the Company's contracts with TennCare exceeded ten percent of managed behavioral healthcare net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. The Company's contracts with subsidiaries of WellPoint generated revenues that exceeded, in the aggregate, ten percent of managed behavioral healthcare net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, and ten percent of radiology benefits management net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

The Company provides managed behavioral healthcare services for TennCare through contracts that extend through June 30, 2008. The TennCare program is divided into three regions, and through March 31, 2007 the Company's TennCare contracts encompassed all of the TennCare membership for all three regions.

As of April 1, 2007 substantially all of the membership in the Middle Grand Region was re-assigned to managed care companies in accordance with contract awards by TennCare pursuant to its request for proposals ("RFPs") for the management of the integrated delivery of behavioral and physical medical care to the region. The Company continues to manage behavioral healthcare services for approximately 19,000 children in the Middle Grand Region enrolled in TennCare's Select, DCS Custody and SSI Children categories on substantially the same terms previously applicable to the entire region. Additionally, the Company continues to manage behavioral healthcare services for approximately 10,000 adults on substantially the same basis, continuing only until TennCare disenrolls them as a result of eligibility changes that were enacted in late 2005. The Company recorded revenue of $416.4 million and $316.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, from its TennCare contracts.

In January 2008 TennCare issued an RFP for the management by managed care organizations of the integrated delivery of behavioral and physical medical care to TennCare enrollees in the East Grand and West Grand Regions. The RFP sets forth intended start dates of November 1, 2008 for the West Grand Region and January 1, 2009 for the East Grand Region. TennCare has indicated that it intends to award contracts to at least two managed care organizations in each of the East Grand and West Grand Regions. The Company intends to bid with Coventry Health Care, Inc. ("Coventry") on the RFP through a subcontract agreement under which the Company would manage the behavioral healthcare benefits for any contract awarded to Coventry pursuant to the RFP. Because the Company is aligned with only one managed care organization, even if successful in the bid process, the Company would not retain a significant portion of the membership that it currently serves. There can be no assurance that Coventry will be awarded a contract with TennCare; or that if Coventry is awarded a contract pursuant to the RFP, the terms of the subcontract will be similar to terms the Company currently has with TennCare. The Company anticipates that in any event it will continue to manage TennCare's Select, DCS Custody and SSI Children in both the East and West Grand Regions, as well as continuing to manage them in the Middle Grand Region. The statewide membership, including the 19,000 children in the Middle Grand Region stated above, is approximately 59,000 lives for this population. However, there can be no assurance that TennCare will continue to contract with the Company for management of such recipients.

Total revenue from the Company's contracts with WellPoint was $200.2 million and $218.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, including radiology benefits management revenue of $12.6 million and $77.8 million, during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. One of the Company's managed behavioral healthcare contracts with WellPoint was terminated by WellPoint effective March 31, 2007, and generated revenue of $26.0 million during 2007. A second managed behavioral healthcare contract with WellPoint expired December 31, 2007 and generated revenue of $85.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2007.

In July 2007, WellPoint acquired a radiology benefits management company, and has expressed its intent to in-source all of its radiology benefits management contracts when such contracts expire. The Company has several radiology benefits management contracts with WellPoint including one that converted from an ASO arrangement to a risk arrangement effective July 1, 2007. Such risk contract has a three-year term through June 30, 2010, and cannot be terminated early, except for cause, as defined in the agreement. The Company's other radiology benefits management contracts with WellPoint generated $16.1 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007. Of this amount, $13.4 million relates to contracts that have terms through various dates in 2008, and the remainder has a term through June 30, 2010.

In addition to TennCare, one other customer represented greater than ten percent of the net revenues in the Company's managed behavioral healthcare business for the year ended December 31, 2007, generating $196.1 million of net revenues in 2007.

The Company derives a significant portion of its managed behavioral healthcare revenue from contracts with various counties in the State of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Counties"). Although these are separate contracts with individual counties, they all pertain to the Pennsylvania Medicaid program. Revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled $248.2 million and $262.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

In addition to WellPoint, two other customers generated greater than ten percent of the net revenues in the Company's radiology benefits management business for the year ended December 31, 2006, generating $5.2 million and $4.8 million of net revenues in 2006. In addition to WellPoint, one other customer generated greater than ten percent of the net revenues in the Company's radiology benefits management business for the year ended December 31, 2007. Such customer generated $61.3 million of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Included in the Company's specialty pharmaceutical management business are three customers that each exceeded ten percent of the net revenues for this line of business for the year ended December 31, 2006. The three customers generated $24.8 million, $11.7 million and $9.6 million of net revenues in 2006. Included in the Company's specialty pharmaceutical management business are four customers that each exceeded ten percent of the net revenues for this line of business for the year ended December 31, 2007. The four customers generated $60.0 million, $34.4 million, $33.6 million and $24.9 million of net revenues in 2007.

Integration of Companies Acquired by Magellan—The Company's profitability could be adversely affected if the integration of companies acquired by Magellan, including NIA and ICORE, is not completed in a timely and effective manner.

As previously discussed, one of the Company's growth strategies is to make strategic acquisitions which are complementary to its existing operations. NIA and ICORE are the first such acquisitions completed by the Company. After Magellan closes on an acquisition, it must integrate the acquired company into Magellan's polices, procedures and systems. Failure to effectively integrate an acquired business could result in excessive costs being incurred, a delay in obtaining targeted synergies, decreased customer performance (which could result in contract penalties and/or terminations), increased employee turnover, and lost sales opportunities.

Changes in the Medical Managed Care Carve-Out Industry—Certain changes in the business practices of this industry could negatively impact the Company's resources, profitability and results of operations.

Substantially all of the Company's Health Plan, Radiology Benefits Management and Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment net revenue is derived from customers in the medical managed care industry, including managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans. Some types of changes in this industry's business practices could negatively impact the Company. For example, if the Company's managed care customers seek to provide services directly to their subscribers, instead of contracting with the Company for such services, the Company could be adversely affected. In this regard, Aetna, Inc. ("Aetna") and WellPoint had decided to provide managed behavioral services directly to some or all of their subscribers, which resulted in the December 31, 2005 termination of the Aetna contract, and the terminations of one contract with WellPoint on March 31, 2007 and a second WellPoint contract on December 31, 2007. In addition to Aetna and WellPoint, other managed care customers of the Company did not renew all or part of their contracts with the Company during 2006 and 2007, and instead provided managed behavioral healthcare services directly to their subscribers. Other of the Company's customers that are managed care companies could also seek to provide services directly to their subscribers, rather than by contracting with the Company for such services. In addition, the Company has a significant number of contracts with Blue Cross Blue Shield plans and other regional health plans. Consolidation of the healthcare industry through acquisitions and mergers could potentially result in the loss of contracts for the Company. Any of these changes could reduce the Company's net revenue, and adversely affect the Company's profitability and financial condition.

Changes in the Contracting Model for Medicaid Contracts—Certain changes in the contracting model used by states for managed healthcare services contracts relating to Medicaid lives could negatively impact the Company's resources, profitability and results of operations.

Substantially all of the Company's Public Sector segment net revenue is derived from direct contracts that it has with state or county governments for the provision of services to Medicaid enrollees. In addition to TennCare discussed above, certain other states have recently contracted with managed care companies to manage both the behavioral and physical medical care of its Medicaid enrollees. If other governmental entities change the method for contracting for Medicaid business to a fully integrated model, the Company will attempt to subcontract with the managed care organizations to provide behavioral healthcare management for such Medicaid business; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to secure such arrangements. Accordingly, if such a change in the contracting model were to occur, it is possible that the Company could lose current contracted revenues, as well as be unable to bid on potential new business opportunities, thus negatively impacting the Company's profitability and financial condition.

Risk-Based Products—Because the Company provides services at a fixed fee, if the Company is unable to accurately predict and control healthcare costs, the Company's profitability could decline.

The Company derives its net revenue primarily from arrangements under which the Company assumes responsibility for costs of treatment in exchange for a fixed fee. The Company refers to such arrangements as "risk-based contracts" or "risk-based products," which includes EAP services. These arrangements provided 85.3 percent and 82.4 percent of the Company's net revenue in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Profitability of the Company's risk contracts could be reduced if the Company is unable to accurately estimate the rate of service utilization by members or the cost of such services when the Company prices its services. The Company's assumptions of utilization and costs when the Company prices its services may not ultimately reflect actual utilization rates and costs, many aspects of which are beyond the Company's control. If the cost of services provided to members under a contract together

with the administrative costs exceeds the aggregate fees received by the Company under such contract, the Company will incur a loss on the contract.

The Company's profitability could also be reduced if the Company is required to make adjustments to estimates made in reporting historical financial results regarding cost of care, reflected in the Company's financial statements as medical claims payable. Medical claims payable includes reserves for incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims, which are claims for covered services rendered by the Company's providers which have not yet been submitted to the Company for payment. The Company estimates and reserves for IBNR claims based on past claims payment experience, including the average interval between the date services are rendered and the date the claims are received and between the date services are rendered and the date claims are paid, enrollment data, utilization statistics, adjudication decisions, authorized healthcare services and other factors. This data is incorporated into contract-specific reserve models. The estimates for submitted claims and IBNR claims are made on an accrual basis and adjusted in future periods as required. The Company currently possesses a limited amount of experience related to underwriting risk-based RBM products. If such risk-based RBM products are not correctly underwritten, the Company's profitability and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Factors that affect the Company's ability to price the Company's services, or accurately make estimates of IBNR claims and other expenses for which the Company creates reserves may include differences between the Company's assumptions and actual results arising from, among other things:

•: changes in the delivery system;
•: changes in utilization patterns;
•: changes in the number of members seeking treatment;
•: unforeseen fluctuations in claims backlogs;
•: unforeseen increases in the costs of the services;
•: the occurrence of catastrophes;
•: regulatory changes; and
•: changes in benefit plan design.

Some of these factors could impact the ability of the Company to manage and control the medical costs to the extent assumed in the pricing of its services.

If the Company's membership in risk-based business continues to grow (which is a major focus of the Company's strategy), the Company's exposure to potential losses from risk-based products will also increase.

Fluctuation in Operating Results—The Company experiences fluctuations in quarterly operating results and, as a consequence, the Company may fail to meet or exceed market expectations, which could cause the Company's stock price to decline.

The Company's quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to seasonal and other factors, including:

•: changes in utilization levels by enrolled members of the Company's risk-based contracts, including seasonal utilization patterns (for example, members generally tend to seek services less during the third and fourth quarters of the year than in the first and second quarters of the year);

•: performance-based contractual adjustments to net revenue, reflecting utilization results or other performance measures;
•: changes in estimates for contractual adjustments under commercial contracts;
•: retrospective membership adjustments;
•: the timing of implementation of new contracts and enrollment changes; and
•: changes in estimates regarding medical costs and IBNR claims.

These factors may affect the Company's quarterly and annual net revenue, expenses and profitability in the future and, accordingly, the Company may fail to meet market expectations, which could cause the Company's stock price to decline.

Dependence on Government Spending—The Company can be adversely affected by changes in federal, state and local healthcare policies.

All of the Company's Public Sector segment net revenue and a portion of the Company's net revenue in the Company's other four operating segments are derived, directly or indirectly, from governmental agencies, including state Medicaid programs. Contract rates vary from state to state, are subject to periodic negotiation and may limit the Company's ability to maintain or increase rates. The Company is unable to predict the impact on the Company's operations of future regulations or legislation affecting Medicaid programs, or the healthcare industry in general, and future regulations or legislation may have a material adverse effect on the Company. Moreover, any reduction in government spending for such programs could also have a material adverse effect on the Company (See "Reliance on Customer Contracts"). In addition, the Company's contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies, under both direct contract and subcontract arrangements, generally are conditioned upon financial appropriations by one or more governmental agencies, especially in the case of state Medicaid programs. These contracts generally can be terminated or modified by the customer if such appropriations are not made. Finally, some of the Company's contracts with federal, state and local governmental agencies, under both direct contract and subcontract arrangements, require the Company to perform additional services if federal, state or local laws or regulations imposed after the contract is signed so require, in exchange for additional compensation to be negotiated by the parties in good faith. Government and other third-party payors generally seek to impose lower contract rates and to renegotiate reduced contract rates with service providers in a trend toward cost control.

Restrictive Covenants in the Company's Debt Instruments—Restrictions imposed by the Company's debt agreements limit the Company's operating and financial flexibility. These restrictions may adversely affect the Company's ability to finance the Company's future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in the Company's interest.

The Company's credit agreement with Deutsche Bank dated January 5, 2004, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), contains a number of covenants. These covenants limit Company management's discretion in operating the Company's business by restricting or limiting the Company's ability, among other things, to:

•: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock;
•: pay dividends and make other distributions;
•: repurchase equity interests;
•: make certain advances, investments and loans;
•: enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

•: create liens;
•: sell and otherwise dispose of assets;
•: acquire or merge or consolidate with another company; and
•: enter into some types of transactions with affiliates.

These restrictions could adversely affect the Company's ability to finance future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in the Company's interest. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Failure to do so, unless waived by the lenders under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to its terms, would result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by most of the Company's subsidiaries and is secured by most of the Company's assets and the Company's subsidiaries' assets.

Required Assurances of Financial Resources—The Company's liquidity, financial condition, prospects and profitability can be adversely affected by present or future state regulations and contractual requirements that the Company provide financial assurance of the Company's ability to meet the Company's obligations.

Some of the Company's contracts and certain state regulations require the Company or certain of the Company's subsidiaries to maintain specified cash reserves or letters of credit and/or to maintain certain minimum tangible net equity in certain of the Company's subsidiaries as assurance that the Company has financial resources to meet the Company's contractual obligations. Many of these state regulations also restrict the investment activity of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Some state regulations also restrict the ability of certain of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends to Magellan. Additional state regulations could be promulgated that would increase the cash or other security the Company would be required to maintain. In addition, the Company's customers may require additional restricted cash or other security with respect to the Company's obligations under the Company's contracts, including the Company's obligation to pay IBNR claims and other medical claims not yet processed and paid. In addition, certain of the Company's contracts and state regulations limit the profits that the Company may earn on risk-based business. The Company's liquidity, financial condition, prospects and profitability could be adversely affected by the effects of such regulations and contractual provisions. See Note 2—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Restricted Assets" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for a discussion of the Company's restricted assets.

Competition—The competitive environment in the specialty managed healthcare industry may limit the Company's ability to maintain or increase the Company's rates, which would limit or adversely affect the Company's profitability, and any failure in the Company's ability to respond adequately may adversely affect the Company's ability to maintain contracts or obtain new contracts.

The Company's business is highly competitive. The Company competes with other healthcare organizations as well as with insurance companies, including HMOs, PPOs, TPAs, IPAs, multi-disciplinary medical groups, PBMs and other specialty healthcare and managed care companies. Many of the Company's competitors, particularly certain insurance companies, HMOs and PBMs are significantly larger and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company, which can create downward pressure on prices through economies of scale. The entrance or expansion of these larger companies in the specialty managed healthcare industry (including the Company's customers who have insourced or who may choose to insource healthcare services) could increase the competitive pressures the Company faces and could limit the Company's ability to maintain or increase the Company's rates. If this happens, the Company's profitability could be adversely affected. In

addition, if the Company does not adequately respond to these competitive pressures, it could cause the Company to not be able to maintain its current contracts or to not be able to obtain new contracts.

Possible Impact of Healthcare Reform—Healthcare reform can significantly reduce the Company's revenues or profitability.

The U.S. Congress and certain state legislatures are considering legislation that, among other things, would limit healthcare plans and methods of operations, limit employers' and healthcare plans' ability to define medical necessity, permit employers and healthcare plans to be sued in state courts for coverage determinations, provide universal health insurance at the state level, provide for minimum medical loss ratios, and otherwise affect health care insurance and managed care. It is uncertain whether the Company could recoup, through higher revenues or other measures, the increased costs of federal or state mandated benefits or other increased costs caused by such legislation or similar legislation. Other federal or state changes in law regarding managed care or universal health insurance coverage could also have adverse consequences for the Company's business. In addition, if any federal parity legislation is adopted and the difference in coverage limits for mental health coverage and medical health coverage is reduced or eliminated, any increase in net revenue the Company derives following such legislation may not be sufficient to cover the increase in costs that would result from a greater utilization of mental healthcare services. The Company cannot predict the effect of this legislation or other legislation that may be adopted by Congress or by the states, and such legislation, if implemented, could have an adverse effect on the Company.

Government Regulation—The Company is subject to substantial government regulation and scrutiny, which increase the Company's costs of doing business and could adversely affect the Company's profitability.

The specialty managed healthcare industry and the provision of specialty managed healthcare are subject to extensive and evolving federal and state regulation. Such laws and regulations cover, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, information privacy and security, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical management business is also the subject of substantial federal and state governmental regulation and scrutiny. Government investigations and allegations have become more frequent concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse and false claims statutes and regulations by healthcare organizations. Violators may be excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subject to fines or penalties or required to repay amounts received from the government for previously billed services. A violation of such laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is subject to certain state laws and regulations and federal laws as a result of the Company's role in management of customers' employee benefit plans.

Regulatory issues may also affect the Company's operations including, but not limited to:

•: additional state licenses that may be required to conduct the Company's businesses, including utilization review and TPA activities;
•: limits imposed by state authorities upon corporations' control or excessive influence over managed healthcare services through the direct employment of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists or other professionals, and prohibiting fee splitting;
•: laws that impose financial terms and requirements on the Company due to the Company's assumption of risk under contracts with licensed insurance companies or HMOs;
•: laws in certain states that impose an obligation to contract with any healthcare provider willing to meet the terms of the Company's contracts with similar providers;

•: maintaining confidentiality of patient information; and
•: complying with HIPAA.

The imposition of additional licensing and other regulatory requirements may, among other things, increase the Company's equity requirements, increase the cost of doing business or force significant changes in the Company's operations to comply with these requirements.

The costs associated with compliance with government regulation as discussed above may adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The Company faces additional regulatory risks associated with its Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment which could subject it to additional regulatory scrutiny and liability and which could adversely affect the profitability of the Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment in the future.

With the Company's acquisition of ICORE, additional federal and state regulations became applicable to the Company. Various aspects of the Company's Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment are governed by federal and state laws and regulations not previously applicable to the Company or which may now be applicable in different ways. Significant sanctions may be imposed for violations of these laws and compliance programs are a significant operational requirement of the Company's business. There are significant uncertainties involving the application of many of these legal requirements to the Company. Accordingly, the Company may be required to incur additional administrative and compliance expenses in determining the applicable requirements and in adapting its compliance practices, or modifying its business practices, in order to satisfy changing interpretations and regulatory policies. In addition, there are numerous proposed health care laws and regulations at the federal and state levels, many of which, if adopted, could adversely affect the Company's business.

Federal Anti-Remuneration/Fraud And Abuse Laws.

The federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, an entity from paying or receiving, subject to certain exceptions and "safe harbors," any remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce the referral of individuals covered by federally funded health care programs, or the purchase, or the arranging for or recommending of the purchase, of items or services for which payment may be made in whole, or in part, under Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE or other federally funded health care programs. Sanctions for violating the Anti-Kickback Statute may include imprisonment, criminal and civil fines and exclusion from participation in the federally funded health care programs. The Anti-Kickback Statute has been interpreted broadly by courts, the OIG within DHHS, and other administrative bodies. It also is a crime under the Public Contractor Anti-Kickback Statute, for any person to knowingly and willfully offer or provide any remuneration to a prime contractor to the United States, including a contractor servicing federally funded health programs, in order to obtain favorable treatment in a subcontract. Violators of this law also may be subject to civil monetary penalties.

In April 2003, the OIG published Compliance Guidance. The Compliance Guidance is voluntary and is directly aimed at the compliance efforts of pharmaceutical manufacturers. This Compliance Guidance highlights several transactions as potential "risks," including transactions and relationships with PBMs, some of which are similar to transactions and/or relationships that the Company enters into with its customers. As pharmaceutical manufacturers' business practices evolve in compliance with the Compliance Guidelines, the Company's relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers may be adversely affected.

Federal Statutes Prohibiting False Claims.

The Federal False Claims Act imposes civil penalties for knowingly making or causing to be made false claims with respect to governmental programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, for services not rendered, or for misrepresenting actual services rendered, in order to obtain higher reimbursement. Private individuals may bring qui tam or whistle blower suits against providers under the Federal False Claims Act, which authorizes the payment of a portion of any recovery to the individual bringing suit. A few federal district courts recently have interpreted the Federal False Claims Act as applying to claims for reimbursement that violate the Anti-Kickback Statute under certain circumstances. The Federal False Claims Act generally provides for the imposition of civil penalties and for treble damages, resulting in the possibility of substantial financial penalties for small billing errors. Criminal provisions that are similar to the Federal False Claims Act provide that a corporation may be fined if it is convicted of presenting to any federal agency a claim or making a statement that it knows to be false, fictitious or fraudulent. While the Company does not directly provide services to beneficiaries of federally funded health programs and, accordingly, does not directly submit claims to the federal government, it does provide services to federal government contractors, such as Part D Plans, and it is possible that the Company could nevertheless become involved in a situation where false claim issues are raised based on allegations that it caused or assisted a government contractor in making a false claim.

Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.

The MMA that took effect on January 1, 2006, among other things, created a new voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit for Medicare enrollees on an insured basis through PDPs, and by Medicare Advantage Plans, in various regions across the United States. Among other things, PDPs and Medicare Advantage Plans are subject to provisions of the MMA intended to deter fraud, waste and abuse and are monitored strictly by CMS and its contracted MEDICs to ensure that Part D program funds are not spent inappropriately. If CMS determines that the Company has not performed satisfactorily as a subcontractor, CMS may request a PDP or a Medicare Advantage Plan customer of the Company to revoke its Part D activities or responsibilities under the subcontract. The practices that are subject to regulation under these provisions are evolving and future applications or interpretations of these provisions could adversely affect the Company's operations.

FDA Regulation.

The FDA generally has authority to regulate drug promotional materials that are disseminated "by or on behalf of" a drug manufacturer. The Company's business includes the provision of educational seminars for prescribers and other of the Company's customers on behalf of manufacturer clients and thus is subject to the federal laws applicable to the promotion of prescription drugs.

State Anti-Remuneration/False Claims Laws.

Several states have laws and/or regulations similar to the federal anti-remuneration and Federal False Claims Act described above. Sanctions for violating these state anti-remuneration and false claims laws may include injunction, imprisonment, criminal and civil fines and exclusion from participation in the state Medicaid programs.

State Comprehensive PBM Regulation.

States continue to introduce broad legislation to regulate PBM activities. Some of this legislation would encompass the activities of the Company. In particular, such legislation seeks to impose fiduciary duties or disclosure obligations on entities that provide certain types of pharmacy management services. Both Maine and the District of Columbia have enacted statutes imposing fiduciary obligations on

entities providing pharmacy management services. Regulation of this nature could adversely affect the services the Company provides its customers.

State Legislation Affecting Plan Or Benefit Design.

Some states have enacted legislation that prohibits certain types of managed care plan sponsors from implementing certain restrictive formulary and network design features, and many states have legislation regulating various aspects of managed care plans, including provisions relating to the pharmacy benefits. Other states mandate coverage of certain benefits or conditions and require health plan coverage of specific drugs, if deemed medically necessary by the prescribing physician. Such legislation does not generally apply to the Company directly, but may apply to certain clients of the Company, such as HMOs and health insurers. If legislation of this nature were to become widely adopted and were applied to services the Company provides, it could have the effect of limiting the economic benefits achievable by the Company's customers through the use of the Company's services, adversely affecting the demand for the Company's services.

Legislation Affecting Drug Prices.

Under MMA, Part B drugs generally are reimbursed on an ASP methodology. This ASP methodology may create an incentive for some drug manufacturers to reduce the levels of discounts or rebates available to purchasers, including the Company, or their clients with respect to Medicare Part B drugs.

The federal Medicaid rebate statute provides that pharmaceutical manufacturers of brand-name outpatient prescription drugs must provide the Medicaid program a rebate in accordance with certain requirements. Investigations have been commenced by certain government agencies which question whether Medicaid rebates were properly calculated in accordance with such requirements, reported and paid by the manufacturers to the Medicaid programs. The Company is not responsible for such calculations, reports or payments. Some pharmaceutical manufacturers may view the Medicaid rebate statute and/or the associated investigations as a disincentive to offer rebates and discounts to private parties, including in the context of the Company's business.

Regulations Affecting the Company's Pharmacies.

The Company owns two mail order pharmacies that provide services to certain of the Company's health plan customers. The activities undertaken by the Company's pharmacies subject the pharmacies to state and federal statutes and regulations governing, among other things, the licensure and operation of mail order and non-resident pharmacies, repackaging of drug products, stocking of prescription drug products and dispensing of prescription drug products, including controlled substances. The Company's pharmacy facilities are located in Florida and New York and are duly licensed to conduct business in those states. Many states, however, require out-of-state mail order pharmacies to register with or be licensed by the state board of pharmacy or similar governing body when pharmaceuticals are delivered by mail into the state and some states require that an out-of-state pharmacy employ a pharmacist that is licensed in the state into which pharmaceuticals are shipped. Additional regulation of this nature may require the Company to expend additional funds to satisfy such regulatory requirements and could make it impractical for the Company to undertake certain business opportunities it may otherwise be interested in pursuing.

Regulation of Controlled Substances.

The Company's pharmacies must register with the DEA and individual state controlled substance authorities in order to dispense controlled substances. Federal law requires the Company to comply with the DEA's security, recordkeeping, inventory control, and labeling standards in order to dispense

controlled substances. State controlled substance law requires registration and compliance with state pharmacy licensure, registration or permit standards promulgated by the state pharmacy licensing authority.

Other.

Most of the Company's distribution contracts with its customers use AWP as a benchmark for establishing pricing. As part of a proposed settlement in the case of New England Carpenters Health Benefit Fund, et. al. v. First Data Bank, et. al., Civil Action No. 1:05-CV-11148-PBS (D. Mass.), a case brought against First Data Bank, one of several companies that report data on prescription drug prices, First Data Bank has agreed to reduce the AWP of over 8,000 specific pharmaceutical products by four percent. The proposed settlement received preliminary but not final approval of the court, but at a fairness hearing on January 23, 2008, the court denied approval of the settlement without prejudice. The Company cannot predict whether or when the parties will attempt to cure any deficiencies identified by the court and resubmit the settlement for approval.

Risks Related To Realization of Goodwill and Intangible Assets—The Company's profitability could be adversely affected if the value of intangible assets is not fully realized.

The Company's total assets at December 31, 2007 reflect goodwill of approximately $367.9 million, representing approximately 25.6 percent of total assets. The Company completed the Company's annual impairment analysis of goodwill as of October 1, 2007 noting that no impairment was identified.

At December 31, 2007, identifiable intangible assets (customer lists, contracts and provider networks) totaled approximately $59.2 million. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from approximately three to ten years. The amortization periods used may differ from those used by other entities. In addition, the Company may be required to shorten the amortization period for intangible assets in future periods based on changes in the Company's business. There can be no assurance that such goodwill or intangible assets will be realizable.

The Company evaluates, on a regular basis, whether for any reason the carrying value of the Company's intangible assets and other long-lived assets may no longer be completely recoverable, in which case a charge to earnings for impairment losses could become necessary. When events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets other than goodwill by determining whether the carrying value of such intangible assets will be recovered through the future cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.

Any event or change in circumstances leading to a future determination requiring additional write-offs of a significant portion of unamortized intangible assets or goodwill would adversely affect the Company's profitability.

Risk of Potential Limitation of the Company's Net Operating Loss Carryforwards ("NOLs")—Certain future changes in the composition of the Company's stockholder population could, in certain circumstances, limit the Company's ability to use the Company's NOLs.

The Company estimates that it has reportable federal NOLs as of December 31, 2007 of approximately $236.1 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These estimated NOLs expire in 2011 through 2020 and are subject to examination and adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). In addition, the Company's utilization of such NOLs is subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 ("Section 382"), which affects the timing of the use of these NOLs. At this time, the Company does not believe these limitations will limit the Company's ability to use any federal NOLs before they expire. Although the Company has NOLs that may be available to offset future taxable income, the Company may be subject to Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.

The limitations imposed by Section 382 provide that a corporation that undergoes an "ownership change" may generally thereafter only utilize its pre-change losses (including, in some cases, certain so-called "built-in" losses that have not yet been recognized for federal income tax purposes) to offset a fixed amount of taxable income per year. A corporation generally undergoes an ownership change if the percentage of stock of the corporation owned by one or more 5% shareholders has increased by more than 50 percentage points over, at most, a three-year period (with certain groups of less-than-5% shareholders treated as a single shareholder for this purpose).

In general, the amount of the annual limitation to which a corporation's pre-change losses are subject following an ownership change is equal to the product of (1) the fair market value of the corporation's stock immediately before the ownership change (subject to certain reductions) multiplied by (2) the "long-term tax-exempt rate" in effect for the month in which the ownership change occurs provided, however, that any existing Section 382 limitation cannot be increased due to a subsequent trigger of a Section 382 limitation. In certain circumstances, the annual limitation for a particular year may be increased due to the subsequent recognition of so-called "built-in" gains that existed at the time of the ownership change. Any unused limitation may be carried forward, thereby increasing the annual limitation in the subsequent taxable year. However, if the Company did not continue the Company's historic business or use a significant portion of the Company's assets in a new business for two years after the ownership change, the resulting annual limitation would be reduced, possibly to zero.

The Company underwent such an ownership change upon consummation of its reorganization in January 2004. A second ownership change likely occurred during December 2007, when the holdings of several investors each exceeded 5% for the first time. Subsequent changes in the Company's stock ownership, including sales of the Company's common stock by certain 5% shareholders, certain purchases that result in 5% or greater ownership of the Company's common stock, certain changes in the indirect beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock, and issuances or redemptions of common stock by the Company, could result in another ownership change that would trigger an additional Section 382 limitation.

The Company believes the Section 382 limitation resulting from the ownership change which likely occurred in 2007 is more favorable than the limitation from the 2004 ownership change. As such, the 2007 change is not expected to result in a deferral of the Company's ability to utilize its NOLs. However, the application of another Section 382 limitation on the Company's federal NOLs as a result of future ownership changes could reduce the amount of such NOLs the Company could utilize in a year, and thereby have an adverse effect on the Company's anticipated future cash flow, if, for example, the fair market value of the Company's stock were to decline significantly prior to such ownership change.

Claims for Professional Liability—Pending or future actions or claims for professional liability (including any associated judgments, settlements, legal fees and other costs) could require the Company to make significant cash expenditures and consume significant management time and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability and financial condition.

Management and administration of the delivery of specialty managed healthcare, the operation of specialty pharmacies and specialty pharmacy drug distribution, and the direct provision of healthcare treatment services such as the services that the Company provides through the direct care clinics operated under the Maricopa Contract, entail significant risks of liability. In recent years, participants in the healthcare industry generally, as well as the specialty managed healthcare industry, have become subject to an increasing number of lawsuits. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims of professional liability alleging negligence in performing utilization review and other specialty managed healthcare activities, as well as for the acts or omissions of the Company's employees, including employed physicians and other clinicians, network providers, pharmacists, or others. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other serious incidents involving patients whose care is being managed by the Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company, the Company's employees, or the Company's network providers. The Company is also subject to actions and claims for the costs of services for which payment was denied. Many of these actions and claims seek substantial damages and require the Company to incur significant fees and costs related to the Company's defense and consume significant management time and resources. While the Company maintains professional liability insurance, there can be no assurance that future actions or claims for professional liability (including any judgments, settlements or costs associated therewith) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability and financial condition.

Professional Liability and Other Insurance—Claims brought against the Company that exceed the scope of the Company's liability coverage or denial of coverage could materially and adversely affect the Company's profitability and financial condition.

The Company maintains a program of insurance coverage against a broad range of risks in the Company's business. As part of this program of insurance, the Company carries professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and self-insured retentions. The Company also is sometimes required by customer contracts to post surety bonds with respect to the Company's potential liability on professional responsibility claims that may be asserted in connection with services the Company provides. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $52.4 million of such bonds outstanding. The Company's insurance may not be sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to present or future claims, suits or complaints. Upon expiration of the Company's insurance policies, sufficient insurance may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. To the extent the Company's customers are entitled to indemnification under their contracts with the Company relating to liabilities they incur arising from the operation of the Company's programs, such indemnification may not be covered under the Company's insurance policies. To the extent that certain actions and claims seek punitive and compensatory damages arising from the Company's alleged intentional misconduct, such damages, if awarded, may not be covered, in whole or in part, by the Company's insurance policies. The Company also has potential liability relating to the self-insurance program the Company maintained previously with respect to the Company's provider business. If the Company is unable to secure adequate insurance in the future, or if the insurance the Company carries is not sufficient to cover any judgments, settlements or costs relating to any present or future actions or claims, such judgments, settlements or costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability and financial condition. If the Company is unable to obtain needed surety bonds in adequate amounts or make alternative arrangements to satisfy the requirements for such bonds, the

Company may no longer be able to operate in those states, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Class Action Suits and Other Legal Proceedings—The Company is subject to class action and other lawsuits that could result in material liabilities to the Company or cause the Company to incur material costs, to change the Company's operating procedures in ways that increase costs or to comply with additional regulatory requirements.

Managed healthcare companies and PBM companies have been targeted as defendants in national class action lawsuits regarding their business practices. The Company has in the past been subject to such national class actions as defendants and is also subject to or a party to other class actions, lawsuits and legal proceedings in conducting the Company's business. In addition, certain of the Company's customers are parties to pending class action lawsuits regarding the customers' business practices for which the customers could seek indemnification from the Company. These lawsuits may take years to resolve and cause the Company to incur substantial litigation expenses and the outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability and financial condition. In addition to potential damage awards, depending upon the outcomes of such cases, these lawsuits may cause or force changes in practices of the Company's industry and may also cause additional regulation of the industry through new federal or state laws or new applications of existing laws or regulations. Such changes could increase the Company's operating costs.

Government Investigations—The Company may be subjected to additional regulatory requirements and to investigations or regulatory action by governmental agencies, each of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, the Company receives notifications from and engages in discussions with various government agencies concerning the Company's businesses and operations. As a result of these contacts with regulators, the Company may, as appropriate, be required to implement changes to the Company's operations, revise the Company's filings with such agencies and/or seek additional licenses to conduct the Company's business. The Company's inability to comply with the various regulatory requirements may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

In addition, the Company may become subject to regulatory investigations relating to the Company's business, which may result in litigation or regulatory action. A subsequent legal liability or a significant regulatory action against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if the Company ultimately prevails in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, such litigation, regulatory action or investigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

The Company currently leases approximately 1.7 million square feet of office space comprising 75 offices in 22 states and the District of Columbia, with terms expiring between January 2008 and January 2013. The Company's principal executive offices are located in Avon, Connecticut, which lease expires in September 2012. The Company believes that its current facilities are suitable for and adequate to support the level of its present operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The management and administration of the delivery of specialty managed healthcare entails significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other parties. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other serious incidents involving patients whose care is being managed by the Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or its network providers. See also "Risk Factors—Claims for Professional Liability." Many of these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial damages and therefore require the Company to incur significant fees and costs related to their defense. To date, claims and actions against the Company alleging professional negligence have not resulted in material liabilities and the Company does not believe that any such pending action against it will have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, there can be no assurance that pending or future actions or claims for professional liability (including any judgments, settlements or costs associated therewith) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is subject to or party to certain class actions, litigation and claims relating to its operations and business practices.

In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded reserves that are adequate to cover litigation, claims or assessments that have been or may be asserted against the Company, and for which the outcome is probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that the resolution of such litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance in this regard.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

The following table sets forth selected historical consolidated financial information of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

In connection with the consummation of the Plan, the Company adopted the fresh start reporting provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7") with respect to its financial reports, which required the Company to restate its assets and liabilities to their fair values based upon the provisions of the Plan and certain valuations which the Company made in connection with the implementation of the Plan. Under the provisions of SOP 90-7, fresh start reporting is not applied until all material conditions of the reorganization plan are satisfied. All material conditions to the Plan were satisfied as of December 29, 2003 (the "Material Conditions Date"). Due to the proximity of the Material Conditions Date to year end and the immateriality of the results of operations for the intervening two-day period through December 31, 2003, the Company applied fresh start reporting as if the material conditions were satisfied as of December 31, 2003. All adjustments and reorganization expenses as a result of the application of fresh start reporting are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003.

As a result of the application of the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7, all balance sheet data as of, and subsequent to December 31, 2003 represents balances of the "Reorganized Company." Statement of operations and statement of cash flows data for all periods prior to January 1, 2004 represents the results of the "Predecessor Company." Accordingly, all references to the Company with respect to disclosures of amounts recorded (i) through or prior to December 31, 2003 in relation to statement of operations or cash flow items, relate to the Predecessor Company. All references to the Company with respect to disclosures of amounts recorded or to be recorded (i) after December 31, 2003 in relation to statement of operations or cash flow items; and (ii) on or after December 31, 2003 in relation to balance sheet items, relate to the Reorganized Company.

As a result of the Company's financial restructuring under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code commenced in March 2003 and consummated on the Effective Date, and the Company's implementation of fresh start reporting effective December 31, 2003, the selected statement of operations financial data for the year ended December 31, 2003 is not comparable to the subsequent periods presented. Selected financial data for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes the following significant unusual items:

•: Net reorganization benefit related to continuing operations of approximately $438.2 million, incurred in connection with the Company's financial restructuring. The reorganization benefit is primarily comprised of a net fresh start reorganization gain as a result of the application of fresh start reporting, a net benefit of approximately $7.5 million from lease rejections and court approved claim reductions, and interest income of approximately $1.1 million, which benefits were partially offset by expenses which include the write-off of deferred financing costs of approximately $18.5 million related to the Old Senior Notes and Old Subordinated Notes and approximately $31.6 million of professional fees incurred in conjunction with the financial restructuring activities and chapter 11 proceedings. The Company also recorded a net reorganization benefit related to discontinued operations of $20.3 million, inclusive of a $0.8 million tax benefit.
•: Pursuant to FIN 46, the Reorganized Company's balance sheets as of December 31, 2003, 2004, and 2005 included the assets and liabilities of the Premier joint venture, in which the Company owned a 50 percent interest; a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company was the primary beneficiary. The creditors (or other beneficial interest holders) of Premier have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Reorganized Company adopted FIN 46 on December 31, 2003, as early adoption of new accounting pronouncements is required by

companies implementing the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7. The joint venture was accounted for under the equity method of accounting by the Company through December 31, 2003. On April 11, 2006, the Company purchased the other 50 percent interest in Premier for $1.5 million, so that Premier is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Effective as of December 31, 2005, the Company closed on the sale to Aetna of certain assets of the Company used in the management of behavioral healthcare services for Aetna's members (the "Aetna Assets"). The sale was concluded pursuant to the terms of a certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 23, 2005, as amended. The total consideration received by the Company was approximately $57.1 million, consisting of $30.0 million for the Aetna Assets and approximately $27.1 million for the delivery by the Company of executed addenda with Aetna to certain of the Company's network provider contracts (the "Network Amount"). At closing, Aetna paid the $30 million for the Aetna Assets and approximately $25.8 million of the Network Amount, with the remaining approximately $1.3 million of the Network Amount, which was subject to adjustment, to be paid 120 days after closing based upon the final calculation of the Network Amount. In connection with the closing, the Company paid approximately $50.2 million to Aetna in satisfaction of outstanding principal and interest on its previously issued promissory note to Aetna ("Aetna Notes"). The Company's contract with Aetna terminated on December 31, 2005.

Business Overview

The Company is engaged in the specialty managed healthcare business. Through 2005, the Company predominantly operated in the managed behavioral healthcare business. During 2006, the Company expanded into radiology benefits management and specialty pharmaceutical management as a result of its acquisitions of NIA and ICORE, respectively, as discussed further below. The Company provides services to health plans, insurance companies, corporations, labor unions and various governmental agencies. The Company's business is divided into the following six segments, based on the services it provides and/or the customers that it serves, as described below.

The Company provides its management services primarily through: (i) risk-based products, where the Company assumes all or a substantial portion of the responsibility for the cost of providing treatment services in exchange for a fixed per member per month fee, (ii) ASO products, where the Company provides services such as utilization review, claims administration and/or provider network management, but does not assume responsibility for the cost of the treatment services, and (iii) EAPs where the Company provides short-term outpatient counseling.

The managed behavioral healthcare business is managed based on the services provided and/or the customers served, through the following three segments:

storage needs. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical management services are provided under contracts with managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans for some or all of their commercial, Medicare and Medicaid members. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical services include (i) distributing specialty pharmaceutical drugs on behalf of health plans, (ii) administering on behalf of health plans rebate agreements between health plans and pharmaceutical manufacturers, and (iii) providing consulting services to health plans and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Company's Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment had contracts with 30 health plans as of December 31, 2007.

Acquisition of National Imaging Associates

On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of NIA, a privately held RBM firm, for approximately $121 million in cash, after giving effect to cash acquired in the transaction, and NIA became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company reports the results of operations of NIA in the Radiology Benefits Management segment. For further discussion, see Note 3—"Acquisitions and Joint Ventures" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

Acquisition of ICORE Healthcare, LLC

The Company paid or agreed to pay to the previous unitholders of ICORE, all of whom are members of ICORE's management team, (i) $161 million of cash at closing; (ii) $24 million of cash that was used by the unitholders of ICORE to purchase Magellan restricted stock with such restricted stock vesting over three years, provided the unitholders do not earlier terminate their employment with Magellan; (iii) $25 million plus accrued interest (the "Deferred Payment") on the third anniversary of the closing, subject to any indemnity claims Magellan may have under the purchase agreement; (iv) the amount of positive working capital that existed at ICORE on the closing date (the "Working Capital Payments"), which was $18.2 million of which $17.8 million was paid during 2007 with the remainder paid in January 2008; and (v) a potential earn-out of up to $75 million (the "Earn-Out"), provided the unitholders do not earlier terminate their employment with the Company prior to the payment of the Earn-Out. The $161 million of cash paid at closing, the $25 million Deferred Payment and $18.2 million of Working Capital Payments were recorded as purchase price. The $24 million of restricted stock is being recognized as stock compensation expense over the three year vesting period. The $24 million in restricted stock paid at the closing was issued in a transaction pursuant to which the unitholders of ICORE at closing applied $24 million of the purchase price as cash consideration for their purchase of restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The unitholders subscribed to an aggregate of 543,879 restricted shares of the Company's common stock on a basis proportional to each unitholder's economic interest in ICORE at a purchase price of $44.13 per share, which was the average of the closing prices of the Company's common stock on NASDAQ for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the closing. The Deferred Payment and the remaining estimated Working Capital Payments are included in Deferred Credits and Other Long-Term Liabilities and in Accrued Liabilities, respectively, on the Company's accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2007. The Earn-Out has two parts: (i) up to $25 million based on earnings for

the 18 month period ended December 31, 2007 and (ii) up to $50 million based on earnings in 2008. The Earn-Out, if earned, is payable 33 percent in cash and 67 percent in Magellan restricted stock that vests over two years after issuance. Any Earn-Out will be recognized as compensation expense over the applicable period that it is earned, because in order for potential recipients to receive any Earn-Out consideration, they must be employed by the Company at the time such consideration is distributed. The unitholders did not earn any of the potential Earn-Out of $25 million for the 18 month period ended December 31, 2007, nor has any amount of Earn-Out pertaining to 2008 been accrued as of December 31, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers the following to be its critical accounting policies and estimates:

Stock Compensation. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 includes compensation expense for all stock compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). Stock compensation expense for all stock compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes substantially all of these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term ranging from three to four years. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded stock compensation under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25").

The Company estimates the fair value of substantially all stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that employs certain factors including expected volatility of stock price, expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. For the year ended December 31, 2006, management determined that volatility based on actively traded equities of companies that are similar to the Company was a better indicator of expected volatility and future stock price trends than historical Company volatility, due to the lack of sufficient history of the Company subsequent to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy. For the year ended December 31, 2007, such volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price.

The expected term of the option is based on historical employee stock option exercise behavior and the vesting terms of the respective option. Risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant.

SFAS 123R also requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for only the portion of options, restricted stock or restricted stock units that are expected to vest. Therefore, estimated forfeiture rates are derived from historical employee termination behavior. The Company's estimated forfeiture rate for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 is three percent and two percent, respectively. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods. If vesting of an award is conditioned upon the achievement of performance goals, compensation expense during the performance period is estimated using the most probable outcome of the performance goals, and adjusted as the expected outcome changes.

Managed Care Revenue. Managed care revenue, inclusive of revenue from the Company's risk, EAP and ASO contracts, is recognized over the applicable coverage period on a per member basis for covered members. The Company is paid a per member fee for all enrolled members, and this fee is recorded as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to service. The Company adjusts its revenue for retroactive membership terminations, additions and other changes, when such adjustments are identified, with the exception of retroactivity that can be reasonably estimated. Any fees paid prior to the month of service are recorded as deferred revenue. Managed care revenues approximated $1.8 billion, $1.6 billion and $1.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Cost-Plus Contracts. The Company has certain cost-plus contracts with customers in which the Company recognizes revenue as costs are incurred and as services are performed. Revenues from cost-plus contracts approximated $31.1 million, $32.3 million and $30.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Block Grant Revenues. The Maricopa Contract is partially funded by federal, state and county block grant money, which represents annual appropriations. The Company recognizes revenue from block grant activity ratably over the period to which the block grant funding applies. Block grant revenues were approximately $40.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Distribution Revenue. The Company recognizes distribution revenue, which includes the co-payments received from members of the health plans the Company serves, when the specialty pharmaceutical drugs are shipped. At the time of shipment, the earnings process is complete: the obligation of the Company's customer to pay for the specialty pharmaceutical drugs is fixed, and, due to the nature of the product, the member may not return the specialty pharmaceutical drugs nor receive a refund. Revenues from the distribution of specialty pharmaceutical drugs on behalf of health plans were $46.3 million and $160.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Performance-based Revenue. The Company has the ability to earn performance-based revenue under certain risk and non-risk contracts. Performance-based revenue generally is based on either the ability of the Company to manage care for its clients below specified targets, or on other operating metrics. For each such contract, the Company estimates and records performance-based revenue after considering the relevant contractual terms and the data available for the performance-based revenue calculation. Pro-rata performance-based revenue is recognized on an interim basis pursuant to the rights and obligations of each party upon termination of the contracts. Performance-based revenues were $14.5 million, $16.4 million and $10.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Cost of Care, Medical Claims Payable and Other Medical Liabilities. Cost of care is recognized in the period in which members receive managed healthcare services. In addition to actual benefits paid, cost of care includes the impact of accruals for estimates of medical claims payable. Medical claims payable represents the liability for healthcare claims reported but not yet paid and IBNR related to the Company's managed healthcare businesses.

Such liabilities are determined employing actuarial methods that are commonly used by health insurance actuaries and meet actuarial standards of practice.

The IBNR portion of medical claims payable is estimated based on past claims payment experience for member groups, enrollment data, utilization statistics, authorized healthcare services and other factors. This data is incorporated into contract-specific actuarial reserve models and is further analyzed to create "completion factors" that represent the average percentage of total incurred claims that have been paid through a given date after being incurred. Factors that affect estimated completion factors include benefit changes, enrollment changes, shifts in product mix, seasonality influences,

provider reimbursement changes, changes in claims inventory levels, the speed of claims processing, and changes in paid claim levels. Completion factors are applied to claims paid through the financial statement date to estimate the ultimate claim expense incurred for the current period. Actuarial estimates of claim liabilities are then determined by subtracting the actual paid claims from the estimate of the ultimate incurred claims. For the most recent incurred months (generally the most recent two months), the percentage of claims paid for claims incurred in those months is generally low. This makes the completion factor methodology less reliable for such months. Therefore, incurred claims for any month with a completion factor that is less than 70 percent are generally not projected from historical completion and payment patterns; rather they are projected by estimating claims expense based on recent monthly estimated cost incurred per member per month times membership, taking into account seasonality influences, benefit changes and health care trend levels, collectively considered to be "trend factors."

Medical claims payable balances are continually monitored and reviewed. If it is determined that the Company's assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, the Company's income statement and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates may result in additional cost of care or a reduction of cost of care in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the considerable variability of health care costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and are sometimes significant as compared to the net income recorded in that period. Prior period development is recognized immediately upon the actuary's judgment that a portion of the prior period liability is no longer needed or that additional liability should have been accrued. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims payable for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 (in thousands):

			2005			2006			2007
Claims payable and IBNR, beginning of period			$	165,547		$	164,013		$	156,079
Cost of care:
	Current year			1,204,051			1,087,053			1,416,700
	Prior years			608			(5,973	)		(7,597	)

		Total cost of care		1,204,659			1,081,080			1,409,103

Claim payments and transfers to other medical liabilities(1):
	Current year			1,061,952			951,389			1,248,549
	Prior years			144,241			137,625			131,284

		Total claim payments and transfers to other medical liabilities		1,206,193			1,089,014			1,379,833

Claims payable and IBNR, end of period				164,013			156,079			185,349
Withhold receivables, end of period(2)				(13,786	)		(20,319	)		(22,683	)

Medical claims payable, end of period			$	150,227		$	135,760		$	162,666

(1): For any given period, a portion of unpaid medical claims payable could be covered by reinvestment liability (discussed below) and may not impact the Company's statement of operations for such periods.
(2): Medical claims payable is offset by customer withholds from capitation payments in situations in which the customer has the contractual requirement to pay providers for care incurred.

Actuarial standards of practice require that the claim liabilities be adequate under moderately adverse circumstances. Adverse circumstances are situations in which the actual claims experience could

be higher than the otherwise estimated value of such claims. In many situations, the claims paid amount experienced will be less than the estimate that satisfies the actuarial standards of practice.

Care trend factors and completion factors can have a significant impact on the medical claims payable liability. The following example provides the estimated impact to the Company's December 31, 2007 unpaid medical claims payable liability assuming hypothetical changes in care trend factors and completion factors:

Care Trend Factor(1)					Completion Factor(2)
(Decrease) Increase					(Decrease) Increase
Trend Factor		Medical Claims Payable			Completion Factor		Medical Claims Payable
		(in thousands)					(in thousands)
(3	)%	$	(30,000	)	(3	)%	$	(28,500	)
(2	)%		(18,500	)	(2	)%		(18,500	)
(1	)%		(8,500	)	(1	)%		(9,500	)
1	%		8,500		1	%		9,500
2	%		18,500		2	%		18,500
3	%		30,000		3	%		28,500

Approximately 70 percent of IBNR dollars is based on care trend factors.

(1): Assumes a change in the care trend factor for any month that a completion factor is not used to estimate incurred claims (which is generally any month that is less than 70 percent complete).
(2): Assumes a change in the completion factor for any month for which completion factors are used to estimate IBNR (which is generally any month that is 70 percent or more complete).

Due to the existence of risk sharing provisions in certain customer contracts, a change in the estimate for medical claims payable does not necessarily result in an equivalent impact on cost of care.

The Company believes that the amount of medical claims payable is adequate to cover its ultimate liability for unpaid claims as of December 31, 2007; however, actual claims payments may differ from established estimates.

Other medical liabilities consist primarily of "reinvestment" payables under certain managed behavioral healthcare contracts with Medicaid customers and "profit share" payables under certain risk-based contracts. Under a contract with reinvestment features, if the cost of care is less than certain minimum amounts specified in the contract (usually as a percentage of revenue), the Company is required to "reinvest" such difference in behavioral healthcare programs when and as specified by the customer or to pay the difference to the customer for their use in funding such programs. Under a contract with profit share provisions, if the cost of care is below certain specified levels, the Company will "share" the cost savings with the customer at the percentages set forth in the contract.

Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets to be held and used, are currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be addressed pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). Pursuant to this guidance, impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to management's best estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. The cash flow projections used to make this assessment are consistent with the cash flow projections that management uses internally in making key decisions. In the event an impairment exists, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the

asset, which is generally determined by using quoted market prices or the discounted present value of expected future cash flows.

Goodwill. Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). Pursuant to SFAS 142, the Company is required to test its goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. The Company has selected October 1 as the date of its annual impairment test. The balance of goodwill has been allocated to the Company's segments as follows (in thousands):

		December 31,
		2006		2007
Health Plan		$	127,242	$	121,032
Radiology Benefits Management			104,863		104,549
Specialty Pharmaceutical Management			142,276		142,291

	Total	$	374,381	$	367,872

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 are reflected in the table below (in thousands):

(1): During 2006, the Company recorded tax benefits from the utilization of deferred tax assets, inclusive of NOLs, that existed prior to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on January 5, 2004. These tax benefits have been reflected as reductions of goodwill in accordance with SOP 90-7.
(2): As of December 31, 2006, based on an evaluation of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would realize the benefit of the majority of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, valuation allowances for such deferred tax assets were reversed with a corresponding decrease to goodwill in accordance with SOP 90-7. A similar evaluation was made in 2007, resulting in a reversal of additional valuation allowances against goodwill.
(3): The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recorded this decrease to goodwill.
(4): During 2007, the statute of limitations expired with respect to the assessment of most state and local income taxes for the tax years ended September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, resulting in the reversal of tax contingencies recorded for these years. The tax benefits of these reversals (net of indirect tax benefits) have been reflected as reductions of goodwill in accordance with SOP 90-7.

Income Taxes. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return for the Company and its eighty-percent or more owned subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in various states and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years ended prior to December 31, 2004, although the Company's federal net operating loss carryovers from such prior years remain subject to examination by the IRS.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), as it applies to companies that have implemented the fresh start reporting provisions of SOP 90-7. The Company estimates income taxes for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating current tax exposures together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and book purposes. Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences are recovered or settled. The Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from the reversal of temporary timing differences and future taxable income, and to the extent the Company cannot conclude that recovery is more likely than not, it establishes a valuation allowance. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company estimates that it has reportable federal NOLs as of December 31, 2007 of approximately $236.1 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These estimated NOLs expire in 2011 through 2020 and are subject to examination and adjustment by the IRS. In addition, the Company's utilization of such NOLs is subject to limitation under Section 382, which affects the timing of the use of these NOLs. At this time, the Company does not believe these limitations will limit the Company's ability to use any federal NOLs before they expire. Although the Company has NOLs that may be available to offset future taxable income, the Company may be subject to Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.

Historically, the Company's lack of a sufficient history of profitable operations created uncertainty as to the Company's ability to realize its deferred tax assets, inclusive of NOLs. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2005, the Company's valuation allowances were $167.2 million and covered substantially all of its deferred tax assets, net of tax liabilities.

As of December 31, 2006, based on an evaluation of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would realize the benefit of the majority of its deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company reversed $94.8 million of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which resulted in a reduction to goodwill. As of December 31, 2006, the Company's valuation allowance was $18.6 million, which mostly related to certain state NOLs and other state deferred tax assets. Similarly, the Company reversed $8.4 million of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance during 2007, of which $5.8 million reduced state deferred tax assets and $1.5 million reduced goodwill. The remaining $1.1 million pertained to deferred tax assets created after the Company's reorganization in 2004 and thus was reversed against the current year tax expense. As of December 31, 2007, the Company's valuation allowance was $10.2 million, which primarily relates to certain state NOLs and other state deferred tax assets.

The Company considered a number of factors in its decision to reverse these valuation allowances, including its anticipated level of profitability in the future and its historical profitability. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable and the decision to reverse the valuation allowance required significant judgment and estimation. Changes in these estimates in the future could materially affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase of $5.8 million in its liability for

unrecognized tax benefits and a net decrease of $6.0 million to its deferred tax assets, which were recorded as a reduction to retained earnings of $12.3 million and a decrease to goodwill of $0.5 million.

As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, $92.1 million and $118.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits were included in deferred credits and other long-term liabilities, with the remainder reducing deferred tax assets. If these unrecognized tax benefits had been realized as of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, $22.2 million and $22.7 million, respectively, would have impacted the effective tax rate.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits recorded at December 31, 2007 is a $5.5 million liability for tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but could result in the acceleration of cash payments and/or reduction to the NOL carryforwards with respect to the earlier period.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended prior to December 31, 2004. As a result of state and local statutes which lapsed during 2007, the Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits by $5.9 million in the current year. Because these closed tax years were for periods preceding the Company's reorganization, $4.2 million of such reversal was recorded as a reduction to goodwill and the remaining $1.7 million as a reduction to deferred tax assets. Further, the statute of limitations regarding the assessment of most state and local income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2004 will expire during 2008. The Company anticipates that up to $5.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest costs) recorded as of December 31, 2007 could be reversed during 2008 as a result of state statute expirations. All such reversals would be reflected as discrete adjustments during the quarter in which the respective statute expiration occurs. Additionally, because such lapsed statutes would be for years following the Company's reorganization, such reversals (net of the related indirect tax benefits) would be recorded as reductions to income tax expense.

Results of Operations

The Company evaluates performance of its segments based on profit or loss from continuing operations before stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, income taxes and minority interest ("Segment Profit"). Management uses Segment Profit information for internal reporting and control purposes and considers it important in making decisions regarding the allocation of capital and other resources, risk assessment and employee compensation, among other matters. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant. See Note 12—"Business Segment Information" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein. The Company's segments are defined above.

Year ended December 31, 2007 ("2007") compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 ("2006")

Health Plan

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Health Plan increased by 0.4 percent or $2.4 million from 2006 to 2007. The increase in revenue is mainly due to revenue from new contracts implemented after (or during) 2006 of $43.1 million, favorable rate changes of $22.7 million, and increased membership from existing customers of $17.1 million, which increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $73.3 million, revenue in 2006 of $6.2 million related to one-time transitional activities associated with a terminated contract and other net unfavorable decreases of $1.0 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care increased by 0.6 percent or $2.0 million from 2006 to 2007. The increase in cost of care is primarily due to care from new contracts implemented after (or during) 2006 of $30.6 million, favorable contractual settlements affecting cost of care in 2006 of $5.1 million, increased membership from existing customers of $8.1 million, favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2006 of $3.8 million, and care trends and other net unfavorable variances of $5.5 million, which increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $41.6 million, favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2007 of $5.9 million, and favorable medical claims development for 2006 which was recorded in 2007 of $3.6 million. Cost of care as a percentage of risk revenue (including EAP revenue) decreased from 69.1 percent in 2006 to 68.7 percent in 2007, mainly due to the impact of rate changes exceeding care trends partially offset by the favorable contractual settlements in the prior year. For further discussion of Health Plan care trends, see "Outlook—Results of Operations" below.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs decreased by 6.1 percent or $6.5 million from 2006 to 2007 primarily due to terminated contracts. Direct service costs decreased as a percentage of revenue from 16.2 percent in 2006 to 15.1 percent in 2007, mainly due to favorable rate changes and business mix.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

The Company recorded $0.4 million of equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries in 2006. The Company sold its equity interest in Royal effective February 2, 2006. Accordingly, 2007 does not include any results for Royal.

Employer

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Employer decreased by 2.0 percent or $2.6 million from 2006 to 2007. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to terminated contracts of $13.7 million, which decrease was partially offset by revenue from new contracts implemented after (or during) 2006 of $6.7 million, increased membership from existing customers of $2.3 million, and other net increases of $2.1 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care decreased by 6.1 percent or $1.8 million from 2006 to 2007. The decrease in cost of care is mainly due to terminated contracts of $3.1 million, favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2007 of $0.8 million, and favorable medical claims development for 2006 which was recorded in 2007 of $0.8 million, which decreases were partially offset by care associated with new customers of $1.5 million, favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2006 of $0.7 million, care costs related to increased membership from existing customers of $0.5 million, and care trends and other net increases of $0.2 million. Cost of care decreased as a percentage of risk revenue (including EAP revenue) from 25.8 percent in 2006 to 24.9 percent in the 2007, mainly due to the net favorable impact of out-of-period medical claims development.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs decreased by 5.1 percent or $3.4 million from 2006 to 2007. The decrease is primarily due to expenses related to services and support required for Hurricane Katrina victims and related activities in 2006. Direct service costs deceased as a percentage of revenue from 52.6 percent

for 2006 to 51.0 percent in 2007 mainly due to the decrease in costs associated with Hurricane Katrina activities and to business mix.

Public Sector

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Public Sector increased by 26.2 percent or $212.2 million from 2006 to 2007. This increase is primarily due to revenue from new contracts implemented after (or during) 2006 of $294.8 million, favorable rate changes of $21.1 million, and membership increases from existing customers of $10.4 million, which increases were partially offset by a net loss of membership in connection with the Middle Grand Region of TennCare of $101.0 million, favorable prior period adjustments mainly related to membership recorded in 2006 of $10.2 million, and other net unfavorable variances of $2.9 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care increased by 31.0 percent or $213.6 million from 2006 to 2007. This increase is primarily due to care associated with new contracts implemented after (or during) 2006 of $268.7 million (including Maricopa Contract implementation costs of $4.1 million), membership increases from existing customers of $9.1 million, care associated with rate changes for contracts that have minimum cost of care requirements of $8.3 million, favorable prior period medical claims development which was recorded in 2006 of $1.5 million, and care trends and other net variances of $18.8 million, which increases were partially offset by the net loss of membership in connection with the Middle Grand Region of TennCare of $83.3 million, prior period membership adjustments recorded in 2006 of $7.6 million, favorable medical claims development for 2006 which was recorded in 2007 of $1.0 million and favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2007 of $0.9 million. Cost of care increased as a percentage of risk revenue from 85.8 percent in 2006 to 88.8 percent in 2007.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs increased by 43.0 percent or $15.6 million from 2006 to 2007.

As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs increased from 4.5 percent in 2006 to 5.1 percent in 2007, primarily due to one-time implementation costs related to new contracts and business mix.

Radiology Benefits Management

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Radiology Benefits Management segment increased by 309.1 percent or $128.6 million from 2006 to 2007. This increase is primarily due to revenue from new customers implemented in 2007 of $62.7 million, increased revenue due to the conversion of an ASO contract to a risk contract of $61.0 million, increased membership from existing customers of $1.7 million, and the inclusion of only eleven months of operating results in 2006 due to the closing of the acquisition of NIA on January 31, 2006, which increases were partially offset by terminated contracts.

Cost of Care

Cost of care related to Radiology Benefits Management was $114.2 million for 2007 from the Company's risk-based contracts. In 2006, Radiology Benefits Management did not have any risk-based contracts. Cost of care as a percentage of risk revenue was 96.6 percent in 2007.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs increased 21.7 percent or $8.7 million from 2006 to 2007. This increase is primarily attributed to the inclusion of only eleven months of operating results in 2006 and to costs associated with new contracts implemented in 2007. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs decreased from 96.4 percent in 2006 to 28.7 percent in 2007, mainly due to the implementation of two new risk contracts in 2007.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment increased 226.5 percent or $125.1 million from 2006 to 2007. This increase is primarily attributed to the inclusion of only five months of operating results in 2006 due to the closing of the acquisition of ICORE on July 31, 2006. Other factors resulting in increased net revenue relate to revenue from new customers implemented in 2007 of $37.7 million and net increased revenue from existing customers of $10.4 million.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased 257.8 percent or $107.8 million from 2006 to 2007. This increase is primarily attributed to the inclusion of only five months of operating results in 2006 due to the closing of the acquisition of ICORE on July 31, 2006. Other factors resulting in increased cost of goods sold relate to cost of goods sold from new customers and increased sales from existing customers of $36.0 million and $7.9 million, respectively. As a percentage of the portion of net revenue that relates to distribution revenue, cost of goods sold increased from 90.3 percent in 2006 to 92.9 percent in 2007, mainly due to new business having higher cost of goods sold ratios than historic business and the mix of pharmaceuticals distributed in 2007 having higher cost of goods sold ratios than the mix of pharmaceuticals distributed in 2006.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs increased by 189.5 percent or $14.1 million from 2006 to 2007. The acquisition of ICORE closed on July 31, 2006 and thus 2006 only included five months of operating results from this segment of the Company. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs decreased from 13.5 percent in 2006 to 11.9 percent in 2007, mainly due to the segment's stock compensation expense not varying due to new business and same store growth.

Corporate and Other

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses related to the Corporate and Other segment decreased by 7.8 percent or $10.0 million from 2006 to 2007, primarily due to lower stock compensation expense for this segment. As a percentage of total net revenue, other operating expenses decreased from 7.6 percent for 2006 to 5.5 percent for 2007 primarily due to the leveraging of corporate functions in connection with the acquisitions of NIA and ICORE, lower stock compensation expense for this segment and the new contracts implemented after (or during) 2006.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 17.7 percent or $8.7 million from 2006 to 2007, primarily due to asset additions, inclusive of assets related to the Maricopa County contract and the full year impact of the acquisitions of NIA and ICORE.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by 12.4 percent or $0.9 million from 2006 to 2007, mainly due to reductions in outstanding debt balances as a result of scheduled payments.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by 35.2 percent or $6.2 million from 2006 to 2007, mainly due to an increase in average invested balances.

Other Items

A gain on the disposition of assets of $5.1 million was recognized in 2006 mainly as a result of the Company's sale of its equity interest in Royal.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate was 42.1 percent in 2006 and 38.3 percent in 2007. The 2006 and 2007 effective income tax rates differ from the federal statutory income tax rates primarily due to state income taxes and permanent differences between book and tax income. The effective income tax rate in 2007 is lower than the prior year mainly due to the inclusion in 2006 of tax provision for certain tax contingencies related to executive compensation expense, as well as the reversal in 2007 of a portion of such tax contingency reserves.

2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 ("2005")

Health Plan

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Health Plan decreased by 27.7 percent or $251.8 million from 2005 to 2006. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to terminated contracts of $326.3 million (with such amount being net of $6.2 million of transitional revenue), which decrease was partially offset by new business of $43.2 million, increased membership from existing contracts of $25.3 million, and other net increases of $6.0 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care decreased by 27.6 percent or $138.7 million from 2005 to 2006. The decrease in cost of care is primarily due to terminated contracts of $198.7 million, favorable contractual settlements affecting cost of care in 2006 of $5.1 million, favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2006 of $3.8 million, favorable medical claims development for 2005 which was recorded in 2006 of $3.0 million, and unfavorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2005 of $1.1 million, which decreases were partially offset by new risk business of $38.0 million, increased membership from existing customers of $13.4 million, and care trends, change in mix of products and other net increases of $21.6 million. Cost of care as a percentage of risk revenue (including EAP revenue) of 69.1 percent in 2006 is consistent with 2005.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs decreased by 35.0 percent or $57.0 million from 2005 to 2006. The decrease in direct service costs is primarily due to terminated contracts and cost-cutting and operating efficiency efforts by the Company. Direct service costs decreased as a percentage of revenue from 18.0 percent in 2005 to 16.2 percent in 2006, mainly due to the cost-cutting and operating efficiency efforts of the Company.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

The Company recorded approximately $4.4 million and $0.4 million of equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The Company sold its equity interest in Royal effective February 2, 2006, accordingly, 2006 includes only one month of earnings in equity of Royal.

Employer

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Employer increased by 1.3 percent or $1.7 million from 2005 to 2006. The increase in revenue is mainly due to increased membership from existing customers of $3.5 million, revenue from new customers of $2.0 million, increased revenue related to services and support required for Hurricane Katrina victims and related activities of $1.5 million, and other net favorable increases of $4.5 million, which increases were partially offset by terminated contracts of $9.8 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care decreased by 4.3 percent or $1.3 million from 2005 to 2006. The decrease in cost of care is mainly due to terminated contracts of $2.0 million and favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2006 of $0.7 million, which decreases were partially offset by care trends and other net increases of $1.4 million. Cost of care decreased as a percentage of risk revenue (including EAP revenue) from 27.2 percent in 2005 to 25.8 percent in the 2006, mainly due to changes in business mix.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs increased by 4.7 percent or $3.1 million from 2005 to 2006. The increase is primarily due to expense related to services and support required for Hurricane Katrina victims and related activities in 2006, which also caused direct service costs to increase as a percentage of revenue from 50.9 percent for 2005 to 52.6 percent in 2006.

Public Sector

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to Public Sector increased by 4.6 percent or $35.5 million from 2005 to 2006. This increase is primarily due to favorable rate changes of $32.5 million, new business of $17.9 million, retrospective adjustments mainly related to membership recorded in 2006 of $10.2 million, and other net favorable variances of $4.1 million, which increases were partially offset by net membership decreases of $14.6 million (mainly related to TennCare disenrollment that occurred in late 2005), contract changes of $11.6 million, and terminated contracts of $3.0 million.

Cost of Care

Cost of care increased by 2.4 percent or $16.4 million from 2005 to 2006. This increase is primarily due to care associated with rate changes for contracts that have minimum cost of care requirements of $20.5 million, new business of $15.2 million, retrospective membership adjustments recorded in 2006 of $7.6 million, care associated with a 2005 change in estimate related to a potential contractual liability of $2.8 million, and care trends and other net increases of $24.7 million, which increases were partially offset by a reduction in care associated with contract changes that eliminated minimum care requirements of $36.3 million, decreases in membership of $14.2 million, terminated contracts of $2.4 million, and favorable prior period medical claims development recorded in 2006 of $1.5 million. Cost of care decreased as a percentage of risk revenue from 87.5 percent in 2005 to 85.8 percent in 2006 mainly due to contract changes and rate increases in excess of care trend.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs increased by 21.8 percent or $6.5 million from 2005 to 2006. The increase in direct service costs was primarily due to costs associated with new business and inflationary cost increases. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs increased from 3.9 percent in 2005 to 4.5 percent in 2006, primarily due to business mix.

Radiology Benefits Management

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Radiology Benefits Management segment was $41.6 million for 2006. As discussed above, the acquisition of NIA closed on January 31, 2006 and thus 2006 includes eleven months of operating results and 2005 does not include any operating results for this segment of the Company.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs were $40.1 million for 2006. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs were 96.4 percent.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management

Net Revenue

Net revenue related to the Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment was $55.2 million for 2006.

Direct Service Costs

Direct service costs were $7.4 million for 2006. As a percentage of revenue, direct service costs were 13.5 percent.

Corporate and Other

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses related to the Corporate and Other segment increased by 6.5 percent or $7.8 million from 2005 to 2006. The increase resulted primarily from higher stock compensation expense of $9.6 million, corporate costs related to the addition of the radiology benefits management business, and inflationary increases, with such increases partially offset by efficiency improvements and terminated contracts. As a percentage of total net revenue, other operating expenses increased from 6.6 percent for 2005 to 7.6 percent for 2006 primarily due to the reduction in revenue from lost business and the impact of higher stock compensation expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by 0.5 percent or $0.2 million from 2005 to 2006, primarily due to intangible assets related to the Aetna contract being fully amortized at December 31, 2005, which decrease was partially offset by asset additions, inclusive of assets related to the acquisitions of NIA and ICORE.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by 83.4 percent or $36.7 million from 2005 to 2006, mainly due to the redemption of the 9.375% Senior Notes due 2008 ("Senior Notes") and the Aetna Notes in the fourth quarter of 2005, inclusive of $11.3 million in premiums related to the prepayment of the Senior Notes.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by 0.9 percent or $0.2 million from 2005 to 2006, mainly due to an increase in yields on investments and an increase in cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by a decrease in investments due to cash utilized in the redemption of Senior Notes in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the acquisitions of NIA and ICORE in 2006.

Other Items

A gain on the disposition of Aetna Assets of $56.4 million was recorded in 2005. A gain on the disposition of assets of $5.1 million was recognized in 2006 mainly as a result of the Company's sale of its equity interest in Royal.

The Company recorded special benefits of $0.6 million in 2005 relating to the reversal of lease run-out costs accrued in 2004, for which a buyout was negotiated in 2005.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate was 39.0 percent and 42.1 percent in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The 2005 and 2006 effective income tax rates differ from the federal statutory income tax rates primarily due to state income taxes and permanent differences between book and tax income. The effective income tax rate in 2006 is higher than the prior year mainly due to the inclusion in 2006 of tax provision for certain contingencies related to executive compensation expense.

Discontinued Operations

2005 income from discontinued operations is primarily attributable to the collection of approximately $1.0 million in Medicare costs report settlements and the collection of $0.6 million related to a profit sharing arrangement associated with a loss reserve transfer.

Outlook—Results of Operations

The Company's Segment Profit and net income are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. These fluctuations may result from a variety of factors such as those set forth under Item 1A—"Risk Factors" as well as a variety of other factors including: (i) changes in utilization levels by enrolled members of the Company's risk-based contracts, including seasonal utilization patterns; (ii) contractual adjustments and settlements; (iii) retrospective membership adjustments; (iv) timing of implementation of new contracts, enrollment changes and contract terminations; (v) pricing adjustments upon contract renewals (and price competition in general) and (vi) changes in estimates regarding medical costs and IBNR.

A portion of the Company's business is subject to rising care costs due to an increase in the number and frequency of covered members seeking behavioral healthcare or radiology services, and higher costs per inpatient day or outpatient visit for behavioral services, and higher costs per scan for radiology services. Many of these factors are beyond the Company's control. Future results of operations will be heavily dependent on management's ability to obtain customer rate increases that are consistent with care cost increases and/or to reduce operating expenses.

As relates to the managed behavioral healthcare business, the Company is a market leader in a mature market with many viable competitors. The Company is continuing its attempts to grow its business in the managed behavioral healthcare industry through aggressive marketing and development of new products; however, due to the maturity of the market, the Company believes that the ability to

grow its current business lines may be limited. In addition, as previously discussed, substantially all of the Company's Health Plan segment revenues are derived from Blue Cross Blue Shield health plans and other managed care companies, health insurers and health plans. Certain of the managed care customers of the Company have decided not to renew all or part of their contracts with the Company, and to instead manage the behavioral healthcare services directly for their subscribers.

The Company believes that it will be able to expand its revenues from its Radiology Benefits Management and Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segments. In particular, the Company has been expanding into a risk-based RBM product and has entered into its first two risk-based contracts in 2007.

Care Trends. The Company expects that the Health Plan care trend factor for 2008 will be 5 to 7 percent, the Public Sector care trend factor for 2008 will be 3 to 5 percent and the Radiology Benefits Management care trend for 2008 will be 12 to 15 percent.

Interest Rate Risk. Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned on the Company's cash equivalents and investments, as well as interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Based on the amount of cash equivalents and investments and the borrowing levels under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2007, a hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in the interest rate associated with these instruments, with all other variables held constant, would not materially affect the Company's future earnings and cash outflows.

Historical—Liquidity and Capital Resources

2007 compared to 2006

Operating Activities. The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for 2006 and 2007 totaled $197.0 million and $194.6 million, respectively. The $2.4 million decrease in operating cash flows from 2006 to 2007 is primarily due to the funding of restricted cash associated with the Company's regulated entities of $54.5 million, with the majority associated with the Maricopa Contract, and other net unfavorable variances of $1.7 million. Partially offsetting these items is the build-up of medical claims payable and other liabilities of $22.6 million associated with the new risk-based radiology contracts, lower current year payments associated with claims run-out for terminated contracts, with 2006 and 2007 run-out payments of $26.8 million and $8.8 million, respectively, and the increase in segment profit and interest income of $7.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively, from 2006 to 2007.

During the current year period, the Company's restricted cash increased $111.7 million, with $54.5 million of this increase due to the funding associated with regulated entities as previously discussed. In addition, $42.2 million of the increase in restricted cash is offset by changes in other assets and liabilities, primarily medical claims payable and other medical liabilities, thus having no impact on operating cash flows. The increase in restricted cash was also impacted by the shift of $15.0 million of the Company's restricted investments to restricted cash, which resulted in an operating cash flow use that is directly offset by an investing cash flow source. As such, this shift of investments did not impact the Company's total cash and investments.

Investing Activities. The Company utilized $25.5 million and $47.6 million during 2006 and 2007, respectively, for capital expenditures. During 2007, the Company incurred capital expenditures of $7.5 million associated with enhancements to the RBM infrastructure largely related to the implementation of systems to support risk-based contracts, which is an increase of $5.3 million from 2006. In addition, during 2007 the Company incurred capital expenditures of $15.0 million associated with the start-up and implementation of the Maricopa Contract. The remainder of the capital expenditures for the current year period and the majority of capital expenditures for the prior year period related to management information systems and related equipment.

During 2006, the Company received proceeds of $22.2 million related to the sale of assets, with $20.5 million in proceeds attributable to the sale of its investment in Royal Healthcare, an unconsolidated subsidiary, and $1.7 million in proceeds related to the sale of Aetna assets.

During 2006, the Company received net cash of $184.6 million from the net maturity of "available-for-sale" investments, a portion of which was utilized to fund the Company's acquisitions of NIA and ICORE on January 31, 2006 and July 31, 2006, respectively. During 2007, the Company received net cash of $0.7 million from the net maturity of "available-for-sale" investments. The Company's investments consist of U.S. government and agency securities, obligations of government-sponsored enterprises, corporate debt securities, money market funds and certificates of deposit.

During 2006, the Company used net cash of $120.8 million and $162.2 million related to the acquisitions of NIA and ICORE, respectively. During 2007, the Company made Working Capital Payments of $17.8 million under the ICORE agreement.

During 2006, the Company received proceeds of $3.0 million related to a previously outstanding note receivable.

Financing Activities. During 2006, the Company repaid $25.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and made payments on capital lease obligations of $0.2 million. In addition, the Company received proceeds of $9.6 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

During 2007, the Company repaid $25.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and made payments on capital lease obligations of $2.9 million. In addition, the Company received proceeds of $32.4 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants and obtained a tax benefit of $14.4 million from the exercise of stock options.

2006 compared to 2005

Operating Activities. The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for 2005 and 2006 totaled $188.0 million and $197.0 million, respectively. The $9.0 million increase in operating cash flows from 2005 to 2006 is primarily due to the favorable timing of cash flows related to Public Sector regulated entities of $46.5 million (comprised of 2005 unfavorable and 2006 favorable cash flows of $(23.3) million and $23.2 million, respectively), lower year over year interest payments of $40.2 million and other net favorable variances of $0.4 million. These favorable variances were partially offset by unfavorable cash flows attributable to the decrease in segment profit between periods of $29.7 million, payments of $26.8 million in 2006 associated with claims run-out for terminated contracts, and the funding of restricted cash of $21.6 million related to new regulatory and contractual requirements within Health Plan.

Investing Activities. The Company utilized $22.2 million and $25.5 million during 2005 and 2006, respectively, for capital expenditures. The majority of capital expenditures for both periods related to management information systems and related equipment.

The Company received net proceeds of $55.8 million and $1.7 million during 2005 and 2006, respectively, related to the disposition of the Aetna Assets. In addition, the Company received proceeds of $20.5 million during 2006 related to the sale of its investment in Royal.

The Company received net cash of $109.3 million and $184.6 million from the net maturity of "available-for-sale" investments during 2005 and 2006, respectively. A portion of the net investment proceeds were utilized to fund the NIA and ICORE acquisitions. The Company's investments consist of U.S. government and agency securities, obligations of government-sponsored enterprises, corporate debt securities and certificates of deposit.

During 2006, the Company used net cash of $120.8 million related to the acquisition of NIA on January 31, 2006 and $162.2 million related to the acquisition of ICORE on July 31, 2006.

The Company received proceeds of $7.0 million and $3.0 million during 2005 and 2006, respectively, related to the settlement of a note receivable with Mentor. The note was fully paid in June 2006.

Financing Activities. During 2005, the Company redeemed its outstanding Senior Notes of $240.6 million using available unrestricted cash and investments. The transaction, which closed on November 30, 2005, included required prepayment premiums of $11.3 million. In addition, the Company repaid $22.5 million of its Term Loan Facility, repaid the Aetna Note of $48.9 million, and paid $3.8 million of capital lease obligations. The Company received $13.3 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

During 2006, the Company repaid $25.0 million of its Term Loan Facility and paid $0.2 million of capital lease obligations. In addition, the Company received $9.6 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

Outlook—Liquidity and Capital Resources

Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan Facility, a Revolving Loan Facility providing for loans of up to $50.0 million and a Credit-Linked Facility for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $12.5 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will mature on August 15, 2008 and quarterly principal payments are required on the Term Loan Facility. The Company has not drawn on the Revolving Loan Facility, resulting in unutilized commitments of $50.0 million. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had issued letters of credit in the amount of $47.8 million, resulting in unutilized commitments under the Credit-Linked Facility of $2.2 million. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

On April 25, 2006 and July 24, 2006 the annual interest rate on borrowings was reduced to reflect upgrades in the Company's credit ratings. As a result, the annual interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility fluctuates at a rate equal to the sum of (i) a borrowing margin of 1.75 plus (ii) (A) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans, the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent in excess of the overnight "federal funds" rate, or (B) in the case of Eurodollar denominated loans, an interest rate which is a function of the Eurodollar rate for the selected interest period. The Company has the option to borrow in U.S. dollar denominated loans or Eurodollar denominated loans at its discretion. As of December 31, 2007, all loans under the Term Loan Facility were U.S. dollar denominated loans at a borrowing rate of 6.74 percent. The commitment fee on the Credit-Linked Facility is equal to the sum of 1.75 percent plus an additional amount that is based on the administrative costs and term of the Credit-Linked Facility. As of December 31, 2007, the commitment fee on the Credit-Linked Facility was 1.87 percent.

On December 6, 2005, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the permitted aggregate price paid for acquisitions allowed under the Credit Agreement from $50 million to $200 million, provided that certain conditions are met, and to allow the Company to dissolve or liquidate certain of its subsidiaries which have no or immaterial assets. The purchase of NIA in 2006 used a portion of such amount available for permitted acquisitions, and thus reduced the amount available for future permitted acquisitions under the Credit Agreement. On July 11, 2006, the Credit Agreement was further amended to allow the purchase of ICORE in addition to the permitted price paid for acquisitions allowed under the Credit Agreement. If the Company identifies a potential acquisition which exceeds the remaining amount available for permitted acquisitions, the Company will either have to obtain an amendment to the Credit Agreement or a waiver to this requirement.

Although the Revolving Loan Facility and Credit-Linked Facility expire on August 31, 2008, the Company believes it will be able to refinance to obtain new facilities or, if not, to use cash on hand to fund letters of credit and other liquidity needs.

Liquidity. During the year ending December 31, 2008, the Company expects to pay its current obligations as noted in the commitments table reflected below, and fund its capital expenditures with cash from operations. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be approximately $30 million to $40 million in the year ending December 31, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that it will need to draw on amounts available under the Revolving Loan Facility for its operations, capital needs, or debt service in the year ending December 31, 2008.

The following table sets forth the future financial commitments of the Company as of the December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

	Payments due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Long-term debt(1)	$	12,500	$	12,500	$	—	$	—	$	—

	$	244,110	$	46,986	$	69,630	$	5,782	$	672

(1): Long-term debt amounts in the table above reflect future obligations under the Credit Agreement.
(2): Interest payments have been estimated based upon current interest rates, and include commitment fees associated with certain borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
(3): Scheduled ICORE acquisition payments include Working Capital Payments, the Deferred Payment, and accrued interest related to the Deferred Payment. The scheduled contractual obligations do not include any payments related to the potential Earn-Out provisions of the ICORE acquisition agreement, which has been discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Overview."
(4): Operating lease obligations include estimated future lease payments for both open and closed offices.
(5): Purchase commitments includes open purchase orders as of December 31, 2007 relating to ongoing capital expenditure and operational activities, as well as arrangements with outside consultants for ongoing services which will be performed throughout the year ending December 31, 2008 and beyond.
(6): The Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of the cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities for the $121.0 million balance of its gross unrecognized tax benefits. See further discussion in Note 8—"Income Taxes" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein.

The Company also currently expects to have adequate liquidity to satisfy its existing financial commitments over the period in which they will become due.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The Company does not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company's finances that is material to investors.

Restrictive Covenants in Debt Agreements. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit management's discretion in operating the Company's business by restricting or limiting the Company's ability, among other things, to:

•: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or redeemable stock;
•: pay dividends and make other distributions;
•: repurchase equity interests;
•: make certain advances, investments and loans;
•: enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
•: create liens;
•: sell and otherwise dispose of assets;
•: acquire or merge or consolidate with another company; and
•: enter into some types of transactions with affiliates.

These restrictions could adversely affect the Company's ability to finance future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in the Company's interest.

The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Failure to do so, unless waived by the lenders under the Credit Agreement pursuant to its terms, would result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by most of the Company's subsidiaries and is secured by most of the Company's assets and the Company's subsidiaries' assets.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards. The Company estimates that it has reportable federal NOLs as of December 31, 2007 of approximately $236.1 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These estimated NOLs expire in 2011 through 2020 and are subject to examination and adjustment by the IRS. In addition, the Company's utilization of such NOLs is subject to limitation under Section 382, which affects the timing of the use of these NOLs. At this time, the Company does not believe these limitations will limit the Company's ability to use any federal NOLs before they expire. Although the Company has NOLs that may be available to offset future taxable income, the Company may be subject to Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.

December 31, 2007, the Company's valuation allowance was $10.2 million, which primarily relates to certain state NOLs and other state deferred tax assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to investors' requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by allowing entities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of the Company's existing financial instruments on January 1, 2008 and has not determined whether or not the Company will elect this option for any eligible financial instruments the Company acquires in the future.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)") and SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date fair values and changes other practices under FAS 141, some of which could have a material impact on how the Company accounts for business combinations. SFAS 141(R) also requires additional disclosure of information surrounding a business combination, such that users of the entity's financial statements can fully understand the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS 160 requires entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 simultaneously in the Company's year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 may have on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned on the Company's cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments, as well as interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Based on the Company's investment balances, and the borrowing levels under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2007, a hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in the interest rate associated with these instruments, with all other variables held constant, would not materially affect the Company's future earnings and cash outflows. See "Risk Factors—Restrictive

Covenants in the Company's Debt Instruments," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Outlook—Results of Operations," "—Outlook—Liquidity and Capital Resources" and Note 6—"Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations" to the consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere herein for discussion of the Company's Credit Agreement and the interest rates there under.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of December 31, 2007. Based on their evaluation, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, there have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company's internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in its statement "Internal Control-Integrated Framework."

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. This report dated February 26, 2008 appears on page 65 of this Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Magellan Health Services, Inc.

We have audited Magellan Health Services, Inc.'s (the "Company") internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the "COSO criteria"). The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Magellan Health Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 of Magellan Health Services, Inc. and our report dated February 26, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Magellan Health Services, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magellan Health Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007 as listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and schedule referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share Based Payments." Also, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2007 the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48,"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007

1. General

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Magellan Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Magellan"), include the accounts of Magellan, its majority owned subsidiaries and all variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which Magellan is the primary beneficiary (together with Magellan, the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business Overview

Managed Behavioral Healthcare. The Company's managed behavioral healthcare business is composed of three of the Company's segments, each as described further below. This line of business generally reflects the Company's coordination and management of the delivery of behavioral healthcare treatment services that are provided through its contracted network of third-party treatment providers, which includes psychiatrists, psychologists, other behavioral health professionals, psychiatric hospitals, general medical facilities with psychiatric beds, residential treatment centers and other treatment facilities. The treatment services provided through the Company's provider network include outpatient programs (such as counseling or therapy), intermediate care programs (such as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services), inpatient treatment and crisis intervention services. The Company generally does not directly provide, or own any provider of, treatment services except as relates to the Company's contract to provide managed behavioral healthcare services to Medicaid recipients and other beneficiaries of the Maricopa County Regional Behavioral Health Authority (the "Maricopa Contract", which is discussed further in Note 10—"Commitments and Contingencies-Maricopa Contract"). Under the Maricopa Contract, the Company was required to assume the operations of twenty-four behavioral health direct care facilities for a transitional period and to divest itself of these facilities over the next two years pursuant to a schedule as set forth in the Maricopa Contract.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. General (Continued)

The managed behavioral healthcare business is managed based on the services provided and/or the customers served, through the following three segments:

Health Plan. The Managed Behavioral Healthcare Health Plan segment ("Health Plan") generally reflects managed behavioral healthcare services provided under contracts with managed care companies, health insurers and other health plans. Health Plan's contracts encompass either risk-based or ASO arrangements or both and provide for service to the commercial, Medicaid and Medicare members of the health plan.

Specialty Pharmaceutical Management. The Company's Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment generally reflects the management of specialty drugs used in the treatment of cancer, multiple sclerosis, hemophilia, infertility, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic forms of hepatitis and other diseases, under contracts in commercial, Medicare and Medicaid programs. Specialty pharmaceutical drugs represent high-cost injectible, infused, oral, or inhaled drugs which traditional retail pharmacies typically do not supply due to their high cost, sensitive handling, and storage needs. The Company's specialty pharmaceutical services include (i) distributing of specialty pharmaceutical drugs on behalf of health plans, (ii) administering on behalf of health plans rebate agreements between health plans and pharmaceutical manufacturers, and (iii) providing consulting services to health plans and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to investors' requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)") and SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date fair values and changes other practices under SFAS 141, some of which could have a material impact on how the Company accounts for business combinations. SFAS 141(R) also requires additional disclosure of information surrounding a business combination, such that users of the entity's financial statements can fully understand the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS 160 requires entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 simultaneously in the Company's year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 may have on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of the Company include, among other things, accounts receivable realization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, medical claims payable, other medical liabilities, stock compensation assumptions, tax contingencies and legal liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Managed Care Revenue

Managed care revenue, inclusive of revenue from the Company's risk, EAP and ASO contracts, is recognized over the applicable coverage period on a per member basis for covered members. The Company is paid a per member fee for all enrolled members, and this fee is recorded as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to service. The Company adjusts its revenue for retroactive membership terminations, additions and other changes, when such adjustments are identified, with the exception of retroactivity that can be reasonably estimated. Any fees paid prior to the month of service are recorded as deferred revenue. Managed care revenues approximated $1.8 billion, $1.6 billion and $1.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Cost-Plus Contracts

The Company has certain cost-plus contracts with customers in which the Company recognizes revenue as costs are incurred and as services are performed. Revenues from cost-plus contracts approximated $31.1 million, $32.3 million and $30.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Block Grant Revenues

The Maricopa Contract is partially funded by federal, state and county block grant money, which represents annual appropriations. The Company recognizes revenue from block grant activity ratably over the period to which the block grant funding applies. Block grant revenues were approximately $40.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Distribution Revenue

The Company recognizes distribution revenue, which includes the co-payments received from members of the health plans the Company serves, when the specialty pharmaceutical drugs are shipped. At the time of shipment, the earnings process is complete: the obligation of the Company's customer to pay for the specialty pharmaceutical drugs is fixed, and, due to the nature of the product, the member may not return the specialty pharmaceutical drugs nor receive a refund. Revenues from the distribution of specialty pharmaceutical drugs on behalf of health plans were $46.3 million and $160.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Performance-based Revenue

The Company has the ability to earn performance-based revenue under certain risk and non-risk contracts. Performance-based revenue generally is based on either the ability of the Company to manage care for its clients below specified targets, or on other operating metrics. For each such contract, the Company estimates and records performance-based revenue after considering the relevant contractual terms and the data available for the performance-based revenue calculation. Pro-rata performance-based revenue is recognized on an interim basis pursuant to the rights and obligations of each party upon termination of the contracts. Performance-based revenues were $14.5 million, $16.4 million and $10.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Significant Customers

The Company's contracts with the State of Tennessee's TennCare program ("TennCare") and with subsidiaries of WellPoint, Inc. ("WellPoint") each generated revenues that exceeded, in the aggregate, ten percent of revenues for the consolidated Company for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Revenues from the Company's contracts with TennCare exceeded ten percent of managed behavioral healthcare net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The Company's contracts with subsidiaries of WellPoint generated revenues that exceeded, in the aggregate, ten percent of managed behavioral healthcare net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, and ten percent of radiology benefits management net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

As of April 1, 2007 substantially all of the membership in the Middle Grand Region was re-assigned to managed care companies in accordance with contract awards by TennCare pursuant to its request for proposals ("RFPs") for the management of the integrated delivery of behavioral and physical medical care to the region. The Company continues to manage behavioral healthcare services for approximately 19,000 children in the Middle Grand Region enrolled in TennCare's Select, DCS Custody and SSI Children categories on substantially the same terms previously applicable to the entire region. Additionally, the Company continues to manage behavioral healthcare services for approximately 10,000 adults on substantially the same basis, continuing only until TennCare disenrolls them as a result of eligibility changes that were enacted in late 2005. The Company recorded revenue of $432.7 million, $416.4 million and $316.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, from its TennCare contracts.

the RFP through a subcontract agreement under which the Company would manage the behavioral healthcare benefits for any contract awarded to Coventry pursuant to the RFP. Because the Company is aligned with only one managed care organization, even if successful in the bid process, the Company would not retain a significant portion of the membership that it currently serves. There can be no assurance that Coventry will be awarded a contract with TennCare; or that if Coventry is awarded a contract pursuant to the RFP, the terms of the subcontract will be similar to terms the Company currently has with TennCare. The Company anticipates that in any event it will continue to manage TennCare's Select, DCS Custody and SSI Children in both the East and West Grand Regions, as well as continuing to manage them in the Middle Grand Region. However, there can be no assurance that TennCare will continue to contract with the Company for management of such recipients.

Total revenue from the Company's contracts with WellPoint was $202.2 million, $200.2 million and $218.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, including radiology benefits management revenue of $12.6 million and $77.8 million, during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. One of the Company's managed behavioral healthcare contracts with WellPoint was terminated by WellPoint effective March 31, 2007, and generated revenue of $26.0 million during 2007. A second managed behavioral healthcare contract with WellPoint expired December 31, 2007 and generated revenue of $85.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company recorded net revenue from Aetna, Inc. ("Aetna") of $245.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, which represented in excess of ten percent of revenues for the consolidated Company, as well as ten percent of the managed behavioral healthcare net revenues of the Company for that period. The Company's contract with Aetna terminated on December 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized $6.2 million of revenue related to the performance of one-time, transitional activities associated with the contract termination.

The Company derives a significant portion of its managed behavioral healthcare revenue from contracts with various counties in the State of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Counties"). Although these are separate contracts with individual counties, they all pertain to the Pennsylvania Medicaid program. Revenues from the Pennsylvania Counties in the aggregate totaled $214.5 million, $248.2 million and $262.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return for the Company and its eighty-percent or more owned subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in various states and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years ended prior to December 31, 2004, although the Company's federal net operating loss carryovers from such prior years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), as it applies to companies that have implemented the fresh start reporting provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"). The Company estimates income taxes for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating current tax exposures together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and book purposes. Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences are recovered or settled. The Company then assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from the reversal of temporary timing differences and future taxable income, and to the extent the Company cannot conclude that recovery is more likely than not, it establishes a valuation allowance. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase of $5.8 million in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits and a net decrease of $6.0 million to its deferred tax assets, which were recorded as a reduction to retained earnings of $12.3 million and a decrease to goodwill of $0.5 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid interest-bearing investments with maturity dates of three months or less when purchased, consisting primarily of money market instruments. The Company records as cash and cash equivalents, excess capital and undistributed earnings for its regulated subsidiaries, which as of December 31, 2007 was $41.7 million.

Restricted Assets

The Company has certain assets which are considered restricted for: (i) the payment of claims under the terms of certain managed care contracts; (ii) regulatory purposes related to the payment of claims in certain jurisdictions; and (iii) the maintenance of minimum required tangible net equity levels for certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Significant restricted assets of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands):

		2006		2007
Restricted cash		$	141,032	$	252,763
Restricted short-term investments			27,443		12,962
Restricted deposits (included in other current assets)			20,025		19,388
Restricted long-term investments			2,996		2,430

	Total	$	191,496	$	287,543

Investments

Investments consist primarily of U.S. Government and agency securities, obligations of government-sponsored enterprises, corporate debt securities, and certificates of deposit. Investments classified as "available-for-sale" are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices. The Company's policy is to classify all investments with contractual maturities within one year as current. Investment income is recognized when earned and reported net of investment expenses. Net unrealized holding gains or losses are excluded from earnings and are reported, net of tax, as "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and statements of changes in stockholders' equity until realized, unless the losses are deemed to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains or losses, including any provision for other-than-temporary declines in value, are included in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company periodically evaluates whether any declines in the fair value of investments are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of a review of several factors, including but not limited to: the length of time and extent that a security has been in an unrealized loss position; the existence of an event that would impair the issuer's future earnings potential; the near-term prospects for recovery of the market value of a security; and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security until the market value recovers. Declines in value below cost for investments where it is considered probable that all contractual terms of the investment will be satisfied, is due primarily to changes in interest rates (and not because of increased credit risk), and where the Company intends and has the ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow a market recovery, are not assumed to be other-than-temporary. The Company periodically reviews those investment securities whose unrealized

losses have remained unrealized for more than six months to determine if such unrealized losses are other-than-temporary. Unrealized losses related to investments greater and less than one year are not material.

In relation to its investment securities, the Company is not aware of the existence of any financial difficulties for any of the issuers of such investment securities which would cause the Company to question whether such issuers will be able to honor such investment securities upon maturity. Further, the Company believes the declines in fair value of its investment securities were caused by changes in market interest rates. The Company intends to hold these related investment securities to maturity and has the ability to do so. As of December 31, 2006 and 2007, there were no unrealized losses that the Company believed to be other-than-temporary. No realized gains or losses were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 or 2007. The following is a summary of short-term and long-term investments at December 31, 2006 and 2007 (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable

The Company's accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers throughout the United States. Collateral is generally not required. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to provide for normal credit losses.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk with third party payors that include health insurance companies, managed healthcare organizations, healthcare providers and governmental entities. As of December 31, 2006, one customer comprised greater than 10 percent of the Company's net accounts receivable balance.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets to be held and used, are currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be addressed pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). Pursuant to this guidance, impairment is determined by comparing the carrying value of these long-lived assets to management's best estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. The cash flow projections used to make this assessment are consistent with the cash flow projections that management uses internally in making key decisions. In the event an impairment exists, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined by using quoted market prices or the discounted present value of expected future cash flows.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, except for assets that have been impaired, for which the carrying amount has been reduced to estimated fair value. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are capitalized to the property accounts. Replacements and maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is capitalized in accordance with SOP 98-1, "Accounting for Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). Amortization of capital lease assets is included

(1): During 2006 the Company recorded tax benefits from the utilization of deferred tax assets, inclusive of Net Operating Loss Carryforwards ("NOLs"), that existed prior to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on January 5, 2004. These tax benefits have been reflected as reductions of goodwill in accordance with SOP 90-7.
(2): As of December 31, 2006, based on an evaluation of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would realize the benefit of the majority of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, valuation allowances for such deferred tax assets were reversed with a corresponding decrease to goodwill in accordance with SOP 90-7. A similar evaluation was made in 2007, resulting in a reversal of additional valuation allowances against goodwill.
(3): The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recorded this decrease to goodwill.
(4): During 2007, the statute of limitations expired with respect to the assessment of most state and local income taxes for the tax years ended September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, resulting in the reversal of tax contingencies recorded for these years. The tax benefits of these reversals (net of indirect tax benefits) have been reflected as reductions of goodwill in accordance with SOP 90-7.

Amortization expense for continuing operations was $13.8 million, $12.6 million and $16.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The Company estimates amortization expense will be $8.6 million, $7.8 million, $6.8 million, $6.6 million and $6.6 million for the years ending December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Cost of Care, Medical Claims Payable and Other Medical Liabilities

Cost of care is recognized in the period in which members receive managed healthcare services. In addition to actual benefits paid, cost of care includes the impact of accruals for estimates of medical claims payable. Medical claims payable represents the liability for healthcare claims reported but not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported ("IBNR") related to the Company's managed healthcare businesses.

Such liabilities are determined employing actuarial methods that are commonly used by health insurance actuaries and meet actuarial standards of practice.

statement date to estimate the ultimate claim expense incurred for the current period. Actuarial estimates of claim liabilities are then determined by subtracting the actual paid claims from the estimate of the ultimate incurred claims. For the most recent incurred months (generally the most recent two months), the percentage of claims paid for claims incurred in those months is generally low. This makes the completion factor methodology less reliable for such months. Therefore, incurred claims for any month with a completion factor that is less than 70 percent are generally not projected from historical completion and payment patterns; rather they are projected by estimating claims expense based on recent monthly estimated cost incurred per member per month times membership, taking into account seasonality influences, benefit changes and health care trend levels, collectively considered to be "trend factors."

Medical claims payable balances are continually monitored and reviewed. If it is determined that the Company's assumptions in estimating such liabilities are significantly different than actual results, the Company's results of operations and financial position could be impacted in future periods. Adjustments of prior period estimates may result in additional cost of care or a reduction of cost of care in the period an adjustment is made. Further, due to the considerable variability of health care costs, adjustments to claim liabilities occur each period and are sometimes significant as compared to the net income recorded in that period. Prior period development is recognized immediately upon the actuary's judgment that a portion of the prior period liability is no longer needed or that additional liability should have been accrued. The following table presents the components of the change in medical claims payable for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 (in thousands):

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Actuarial standards of practice require that the claim liabilities be adequate under moderately adverse circumstances. Adverse circumstances are situations in which the actual claims experience could be higher than the otherwise estimated value of such claims. In many situations, the claims paid amount experienced will be less than the estimate that satisfies the actuarial standards of practice.

Due to the existence of risk sharing provisions in certain customer contracts, principally in the Public Sector segment, a change in the estimate for medical claims payable does not necessarily result in an equivalent impact on cost of care.

Net Income Per Common Share

Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period (see Note 7—"Stockholders' Equity").

Stock Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 includes compensation expense for all stock compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). Stock compensation expense for all stock compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes substantially all of these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term ranging from three to four years. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded stock compensation under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25").

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the fair value of substantially all stock options granted to employees and recorded stock compensation expense of $34.0 million and $30.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. As stock compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2006

and 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures, currently estimated at two percent, as required by SFAS 123R. In the Company's pro forma information that was required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its forfeitures as they occurred. The Company's estimate of forfeitures related to awards granted in 2004 and 2005, after adopting SFAS 123R, was not significant. The impact of adopting SFAS 123R to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 was a reduction to net income of $7.9 million, or a decrease of $0.21 and $0.20, respectively, on basic income per common share and fully-diluted income per common share and a reduction to net income of $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, or a decrease of $0.24 and $0.23, respectively, on basic income per common share and fully-diluted income per common share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. The carrying value for the Company's financial instruments classified as current assets (other than short-term investments) and current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. Short-term and long-term investments classified as "available-for-sale" are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices.

At December 31, 2006 and 2007, 100% of the carrying value of the Company's debt instruments had fair values that approximated their carrying values due to the short maturity.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

All long-term debt and capital lease obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2007 are scheduled to mature in 2008.

Credit Agreement

The Company's credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG dated January 5, 2004, as amended (the "Credit Agreement") provides for a Term Loan Facility, a Revolving Loan Facility providing for loans of up to $50.0 million and a Credit-Linked Facility for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $12.5 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will mature on August 15, 2008 and quarterly principal payments are required on the Term Loan Facility. The Company has not drawn on the Revolving Loan Facility, resulting in unutilized commitments of $50.0 million. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had issued letters of credit in the amount of $47.8 million, resulting in unutilized commitments under the Credit-Linked Facility of $2.2 million. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

administrative costs and term of the Credit-Linked Facility. As of December 31, 2007, the commitment fee on the Credit-Linked Facility was 1.87 percent.

The Revolving Loan Facility and Term Loan Facility are subject to mandatory prepayment and reductions in an amount equal to (i) 100 percent of each capital contribution made to cure a default or event of default, (ii) 100 percent of any net debt proceeds from certain issuance or incurrence by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of indebtedness for borrowed money, other than permitted new senior or subordinated notes and other permitted indebtedness, and (iii) 100 percent of the net proceeds from assets sales not made in the ordinary course of business.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that restrict or limit the Company's ability to engage in various transactions that may affect the interests of the lenders, including requirements limiting the ability to enter into partnerships, joint ventures, merger or consolidation transactions, to make capital expenditures and to issue capital stock. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with specified financial ratios and tests (as defined), including minimum consolidated EBITDA, interest coverage ratios and maximum leverage ratios. Failure to comply with such covenants, without waiver, would result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

The Company incurs a commitment fee on the Revolving Loan Facility ranging from 0.50 percent to 0.75 percent of the total available amount under the facility. The commitment fee percentage varies with the percentage of unutilized amounts under the Revolving Loan Facility. In addition, the Company incurs a fee in the amount of 0.125% for all letters of credit issued. The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, security interests in and pledges of or liens on substantially all the material tangible and intangible assets of the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, secure the Revolving Loan Facility, the Term Loan Facility, Credit-Linked Facility and the guarantees.

Capital Lease Obligations

The Company's capital lease obligations represent amounts due under leases for certain software and computer equipment. The recorded gross cost of other capital leased assets was $4.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007.

Common Stock

In May 2005 and November 2005, an affiliate of Onex Corporation, a Canadian corporation ("Onex") disposed of all of its holdings in the Company, and therefore all of the outstanding Multi-Vote Common Stock converted into Ordinary Common Stock. The Company is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock under the terms of the Credit Agreement, except under very limited circumstances.

Stock Compensation

At December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company had equity-based employee incentive plans, which are described below.

Stock Option Awards

On January 5, 2004, the Company established the 2003 Management Incentive Plan ("2003 MIP") which allows for the issuance of up to 6,373,689 shares of common stock pursuant to stock options or stock grants. Other than the 2004 Options (defined below) and certain options granted under the 2006 MIP (defined below), options granted by the Company have exercise prices equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.

The following table illustrates pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share as if the fair value-based method of accounting for stock options under SFAS 123 had been applied in measuring stock compensation cost for equity awards for the year ended December 31, 2005 (in thousands, except per share data):

	2005
Net income, as reported	$	130,589
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects		14,462

Income per common share:
Basic—as reported	$	3.63

Basic—pro forma	$	3.46

Diluted—as reported	$	3.46

Diluted—pro forma	$	3.30

On February 24, 2006, the board of directors of the Company approved three equity plans and recommended they be submitted for approval by the Company's shareholders at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The board approved the 2006 Management Incentive Plan ("2006 MIP"), the 2006 Director Equity Compensation Plan ("Director Plan") and the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase

Plan ("ESPP"). All three of these plans were approved by the Company's shareholders at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 16, 2006.

The 2006 MIP, which is similar to the Company's 2003 MIP, authorizes the issuance of equity awards covering a total of 2,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no more than 300,000 shares of which may be restricted stock or restricted stock units. A restricted stock unit is a notional account representing the right to receive a share of Ordinary Common Stock (or, at the Company's option, cash in lieu thereof) at some future date. The Director Plan covers 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no more than 15,000 of which may be restricted stock or restricted stock units, and provides for the issuance of options and restricted stock or restricted stock units to directors immediately following each annual meeting of shareholders in 2006 and 2007. The ESPP is a noncompensatory plan and covers 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock and permits employees of the Company to purchase Common Stock at a 5 percent discount.

The weighted average grant date fair value of substantially all stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 was $10.90, $14.27 and $12.24, respectively, as estimated using the Black- Scholes-Merton option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

	2005		2006		2007
Risk-free interest rate	4.00	%	4.80	%	4.50	%
Expected life	4 years		4 years		4 years
Expected volatility	32.50	%	29.90	%	28.40	%
Expected dividend yield	0.00	%	0.00	%	0.00	%

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, management determined that volatility based on actively traded equities of companies that are similar to the Company was a better indicator of expected volatility and future stock price trends than historical Company volatility. For the year ended December 31, 2007, such volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. In the year ended December 31, 2006, the tax deductions related to stock compensation expense were not realized because of the availability of NOLs, and thus there were no such financing cash flows reported. In the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately $14.4 million of benefits of such tax deductions related to stock compensation expense were realized and as such were reported as financing cash flows. Of this amount, $0.6 million has been reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital for the year ended December 31, 2007. Tax contingencies were recorded for the remaining $13.8 million as of December 31, 2007.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (based upon the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of 2007 of $46.63 and the exercise price) for all in-the-money options as of December 31, 2007. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company's stock.

The total pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised (based on the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the day the option was exercised and the exercise price) during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 was $23.4 million, $10.5 million and $63.4 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $25.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining recognition period of 1.55 years. The total fair value of options vested during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $40.0 million.

On February 27, 2008 the board of directors of the Company approved the 2008 Management Incentive Plan ("2008 MIP") and recommended it be submitted for approval by the Company's shareholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting of shareholders. The 2008 MIP is similar to the 2006 MIP and the 2003 MIP. The board of directors also authorized a total of up to 3.9 million shares of the Company's Common Stock, or such lesser number of shares as shall be determined by the compensation committee of the board, to be available for issuance pursuant to the 2008 MIP. Each restricted stock unit or share of restricted stock issued under the 2008 MIP shall be counted as 1.9 option shares for the purpose of calculating shares awarded and shares remaining available for grant pursuant to the 2008 MIP. The 2008 MIP also provides that no further awards are to be made under the 2006 MIP, the 2003 MIP or the Director Plan, and any equity awards remaining available for issuance under such plans, including any forfeitures or other recapture of equity awards previously made under such plans, will be available for grant under the 2008 MIP. The 2008 MIP, unlike the 2006 MIP and the 2003 MIP, also permits the grant of performance based cash bonus awards to eligible employees and the grant of equity to directors of the Company.

7. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

On February 27, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the board of the Company authorized the grant of stock options and restricted stock units to members of management pursuant to the 2008 MIP with such options and restricted stock units to be issued on March 5, 2008 pursuant to the Company's equity award policy. The options to be granted to management will have a ten year term and an exercise price equal to the closing price of a share of Common Stock of the Company on NASDAQ on March 5, 2008, the date of grant of annual equity awards under the Company's equity award policy. The options and restricted stock units to be granted to management will vest ratably on each anniversary date over the three years subsequent to grant, except that the vesting of certain of the restricted stock units will be subject to satisfaction of certain performance targets.

The Compensation Committee also intends to grant to each independent member of the board and Mr. Le Blanc on May 20, 2008 (the date of the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders), that number of shares of restricted stock of the Company determined by dividing $125,000 by the closing price of a share of the Company's Common Stock on NASDAQ on May 20, 2008. Such shares of restricted stock to be granted to independent members of the board will vest on May 20, 2009.

The options and restricted stock units to be awarded to members of management and the directors as described above are subject to and conditioned upon shareholder approval of the 2008 MIP at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company.

Option Modification

On January 3, 2006, the Company amended certain stock options outstanding under the 2003 MIP. The amendments, as further described below, were intended primarily to bring the features of such options into compliance with certain requirements established by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), which was added to the Code by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and governs as a general matter the federal income tax treatment of deferred compensation. The amended options were originally issued on January 5, 2004 (the "2004 Options"). Because the exercise price of such 2004 Options may be considered to have been less than the fair market value of the shares that may be acquired upon exercise of such options as determined by the market trading in such shares, such options might be subject to the provisions of Section 409A, including certain penalty tax provisions on the option holders.

The amendments in each case reduced the period in which the 2004 Options, once vested, could be exercised from the tenth anniversary of the date of grant to the end of the calendar year in which each option first becomes exercisable. The vesting schedule of the options was not changed and no change was made in the exercise price or other material terms.

In addition, the 2004 Options issued to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the "Senior Executives") were also amended to defer until January 5, 2007 the exercisability of all but 137,398 of their options that vested in January 2006. This deferral was agreed upon in connection with the waiver by the Company of the restriction on sale before January 5, 2007 of 413,003 shares held by the Senior Executives, that they had previously acquired upon exercise of a portion of their 2004 Options that vested in January 2005.

7. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

In connection with these amendments, the Company agreed to grant new options to option holders, other than the Senior Executives, upon exercise of their 2004 Options. The new options will be in an amount equal to the number of options exercised, will have exercise prices equal to the market price on the date of grant and will vest ratably on each anniversary date over the three years subsequent to grant. In the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, options to purchase 249,455 and 233,892 shares, respectively, were granted pursuant to these amendments upon exercise of 2004 Options during these periods.

Restricted Stock Awards

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company granted shares of restricted stock which vest ratably on each anniversary date over the four years subsequent to grant. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company granted shares of restricted stock which generally vest ratably on each anniversary date over the three years subsequent to grant.

On July 31, 2006, pursuant to the Company's purchase of ICORE, the Company granted to the unitholders of ICORE, 543,879 shares of restricted stock of the Company valued at $24.0 million, which stock will vest over three years, provided that the unitholders do not earlier terminate their employment with the Company. The $24 million in restricted stock paid at the closing was issued in a transaction pursuant to which the unitholders of ICORE at closing applied $24 million of the purchase price as cash consideration for their purchase of restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The unitholders subscribed to an aggregate of 543,879 restricted shares of the Company's common stock on a basis proportional to each unitholder's economic interest in ICORE at a purchase price of $44.13 per share, which was the average of the closing prices of the Company's common stock on NASDAQ for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the closing. Other restricted stock awards granted in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 vest ratably on each anniversary date over the three years subsequent to grant.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $14.3 million of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.26 years.

The Company estimates that it has reportable federal NOLs as of December 31, 2007 of approximately $236.1 million available to reduce future federal taxable income. These estimated NOLs expire in 2011 through 2020 and are subject to examination and adjustment by the IRS. In addition, the Company's utilization of such NOLs is subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which affects the timing of the use of these NOLs. At this time, the Company does not believe these limitations will limit the Company's ability to use any federal NOLs before they expire. Although the Company has NOLs that may be available to offset future taxable income, the Company may be subject to Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.

Maricopa Contract

The Maricopa Contract began September 1, 2007 and has an initial term through June 30, 2010 with options for the Arizona Department of Health Services to extend for two additional one-year periods. The Company reports the operations of the Maricopa Contract within the Public Sector segment. Under the Maricopa Contract, the Company was required to assume the operations of twenty-four behavioral health direct care facilities for a transitional period and to divest itself of these facilities over the next two years pursuant to a schedule as set forth in the Maricopa Contract.

Change in Chief Executive Officer

On February 19, 2008, Steven J. Shulman's employment with the Company as its Chief Executive Officer terminated. In relation thereto, Mr. Shulman became entitled to cash payments totaling approximately $4.7 million which will be expensed and paid in the first quarter of 2008. In addition, Mr. Shulman's unvested equity awards were deemed to be fully vested as of February 19, 2008, which will result in recording stock compensation expense in the 2008 first quarter of approximately $6.3 million.

Insurance

The Company maintains a program of insurance coverage for a broad range of risks in its business. The Company has renewed its general, professional and managed care liability insurance policies with

unaffiliated insurers for a one-year period from June 17, 2007 to June 17, 2008. The general liability policies are written on an "occurrence" basis, subject to a $0.1 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention. The professional liability and managed care errors and omissions liability policies are written on a "claims-made" basis, subject to a $1.0 million per claim ($10.0 million per class action claim) un-aggregated self-insured retention for managed care liability, and a $0.1 million per claim un-aggregated self-insured retention for professional liability.

Regulatory Issues

The specialty managed healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations. The subjects of such laws and regulations cover, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirements, information privacy and security, reimbursement for patient services, and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Over the past several years, government activity has increased with respect to investigations and/or allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse and false claims statutes and/or regulations by healthcare organizations and insurers. Entities that are found to have violated these laws and regulations may be excluded from participating in government healthcare programs, subjected to fines or penalties or required to repay amounts received from the government for previously billed patient services. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

In addition, regulators of certain of the Company's subsidiaries may exercise certain discretionary rights under regulations including increasing its supervision of such entities, requiring additional restricted cash or other security or seizing or otherwise taking control of the assets and operations of such subsidiaries.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Legal

The management and administration of the delivery of specialty managed healthcare entails significant risks of liability. From time to time, the Company is subject to various actions and claims arising from the acts or omissions of its employees, network providers or other parties. In the normal course of business, the Company receives reports relating to deaths and other serious incidents involving patients whose care is being managed by the Company. Such incidents occasionally give rise to malpractice, professional negligence and other related actions and claims against the Company or its network providers. Many of these actions and claims received by the Company seek substantial damages and therefore require the Company to incur significant fees and costs related to their defense. To date, claims and actions against the Company alleging professional negligence have not resulted in material liabilities and the Company does not believe that any such pending action against it will have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, there can be no assurance that pending or future actions or claims for professional liability (including any judgments, settlements or costs associated therewith) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is subject to or party to certain class actions, litigation and claims relating to its operations and business practices.

Operating Leases

The Company leases certain of its operating facilities and equipment. The leases, which expire at various dates through January 2013, generally require the Company to pay all maintenance, property tax and insurance costs.

At December 31, 2007, aggregate amounts of future minimum payments under operating leases were as follows: 2008—$21.3 million; 2009—$18.2 million; 2010—$14.3 million; 2011—$8.3 million; 2012—$5.0 million; 2013 and beyond—$1.4 million. Operating lease obligations include estimated future lease payments for both open and closed offices.

Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Rent expense was $20.5 million, $15.7 million and $19.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

11. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Robert M. Le Blanc, a Director of the Company, is affiliated with Onex, which formerly owned 8.5 million shares of Multi-Vote Common Stock of the Company. Onex sold all of its holdings in the Company during 2005. Under the Company's plan of reorganization, certain of its creditors, including Onex, were given the option to receive shares of Ordinary Common Stock or in lieu of such shares $9.78 per share in cash. In order to fund these cash payments, under the Stock Purchase Agreement,

Onex committed to purchase additional shares of Ordinary Common Stock at the same $9.78 per share price. The Company did not issue any shares to Onex under this commitment in 2007, although it may do so in the future.

Allen Wise, a Director of the Company, serves as the non-executive chairman of the board of directors of Coventry. The Company has agreed with Coventry to jointly submit a bid to the State of Tennessee for the management of an integrated behavioral and physical medical care delivery plan for the TennCare program serving Medicaid members in the East Grand and West Grand Regions of Tennessee. Under the bid-for contract with TennCare, the Company would manage the behavioral healthcare benefits of the plan in those regions while Coventry would manage the physical healthcare for enrollees. The Company also has a behavioral health services agreement with a subsidiary of Coventry under which the Company derived revenues of approximately $2.3 million during 2007.

12. Business Segment Information

The accounting policies of the Company's segments are the same as those described in Note 1—"General." The Company evaluates performance of its segments based on profit or loss from continuing operations before stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, income taxes and minority interest ("Segment Profit"). Management uses Segment Profit information for internal reporting and control purposes and considers it important in making decisions regarding the allocation of capital and other resources, risk assessment and employee compensation, among other matters. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant. The following tables summarize, for the periods indicated, operating results by business segment (in thousands):
