Explanatory Note
Apria Healthcare Group Inc. (“Apria,” the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Original Form 10-K”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 29, 2008, to amend Part II, Item 9A: Controls and Procedures, to revise our conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, the cover page and portions of Part IV, Item 15: Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, have been updated and amended.
Subsequent to the evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures made in connection with the Original Form 10-K, we reevaluated our internal control over financial reporting relating to the calculation of accounts receivable reserves and concluded that the Company did not effectively design and perform certain control activities to prevent or detect material misstatements that might exist in our reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable and, therefore, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Due to the identification of this material weakness our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reevaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007 and concluded that they were not effective as of that date. Notwithstanding the material weakness, based upon the work performed by the Company during August and September of 2008, we have concluded that there were no material adjustments required to the previously reported accounts receivable reserve amounts, and that our consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in our Original Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In addition, as required under Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are providing new certifications in connection with this Amendment No. 1. For purposes of this Amendment No. 1 and in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, Item 9A of the Original Form 10-K has been amended and restated in its entirety. Except for the amendments described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update the disclosures in, or the exhibits to, the Original Form 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Form 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after the filing of the Original Form 10-K, and such forward looking statements should be read in their historical context.

PART II
Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the Original Form 10-K, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management had evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by the Original Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with our Original Form 10-K, we reevaluated our internal control over financial reporting relating to the calculation of accounts receivable reserves and concluded that the Company did not effectively design and perform control activities to prevent or detect material misstatements that might exist in our reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable and, therefore, a material weakness existed. Specifically, we did not perform an analysis with a sufficient level of detail to support management’s estimate of the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. Due to the identification of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reevaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that they were not effective as of December 31, 2007.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, based upon the work performed by the Company during August and September of 2008, including a review of accounts receivable reserves as of December 31, 2007, we have concluded that there were no material adjustments required to the previously reported accounts receivable reserve amounts and that our consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in our Original Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Future Remediation Plan for Material Weakness
During September 2008, we completed the design and implementation of control activities that we believe will prevent or detect material misstatements that might exist in our reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. Specifically, we have developed a process to assess our historical cash receipts experience and consider other relevant factors to support management’s estimate for uncollectible accounts receivable. While management believes that these steps are appropriate to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, management cannot conclude that remediation is complete until such controls operate for a sufficient period of time and are tested further. Following testing of our operational effectiveness, we believe our remediation will be complete in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fourth quarter of the period covered by the Original Form 10-K, there were changes to our internal control over financial reporting. These changes were made in connection with analyzing deferred revenues and deferred expenses during the fourth quarter of 2007, where management identified that certain corrections to the amounts reported for these items were necessary. As a result of this, management has improved internal control over financial reporting by hiring additional qualified resources into the financial accounting group.
Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (As Revised)
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that material misstatements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 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 our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based upon our evaluation, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which is described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of the following material weakness, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007.
Management’s estimate of the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. We did not effectively design and perform control activities to prevent or detect material misstatements that might exist in our reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. Specifically, we did not perform an analysis with a sufficient level of detail to support management’s estimate of the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable.
Our management has not yet conducted an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Coram. We completed the acquisition of Coram on December 3, 2007, and it was not possible, given the timing of the acquisition, to conduct an assessment of Coram’s internal control over financial reporting in the period between the completion of the acquisition and the date of our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, our conclusion in this Amendment No. 1 regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 does not include the internal control over financial reporting of Coram. Included in our consolidated financial statements was 28 days of operations which amounted to approximately $42.0 million, or 2.6% of net revenues and $0.7 million of net income. Additionally, Coram’s total assets as of December 31, 2007 were approximately $444 million, or 28% of consolidated total assets. We intend to undertake an evaluation of Coram’s internal control over financial reporting during 2008.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, as stated in the Report of Independent Registered Accounting Firm, appearing under Item 15, which expresses an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Apria Healthcare Group Inc.
Lake Forest, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apria Healthcare Group Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the 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 schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Coram, Inc., which was acquired on December 3, 2007 and whose financial statements constitute 28% of total assets, 2.6% of net revenues, and 0.8% of net income of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of December 31, 2007. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Coram, Inc. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting based on our audits. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting 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. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel 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 the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment:
Management’s estimate of the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable.
The Company did not effectively design and perform certain control activities to prevent or detect material misstatements that might exist in its reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable.
This material weakness was considered in assessing the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements and financial statement schedules of the Company and this material weakness does not affect our opinion on such financial statements and financial statement schedules.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Apria Healthcare Group Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness identified above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective 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.
As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for Share-Based Payment and prospectively adjusted the 2006 consolidated financial statements for the change. Also, as discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.

APRIA HEALTHCARE GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements include the accounts of Apria Healthcare Group Inc. (“Apria” or “the Company”) and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The 2006 and prior years financial statements have been restated. See Note 2 to these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Company Background: Apria operates in the home healthcare segment of the healthcare industry, providing a variety of clinical services and related products and supplies as prescribed by a physician or authorized by a case manager as part of a care plan. Essentially all products and services offered by the Company are provided through the Company’s network of approximately 550 branch facilities, which are located throughout the United States. Our home respiratory therapy and home medical equipment service lines are currently organized into three geographic divisions. The recently acquired Coram home infusion business is organized in a single division. The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates operating results on a divisional basis and, therefore, each division is designated an operating segment. All divisions provide the same products and services, including home respiratory therapy, home infusion therapy and home medical equipment and supplies, except for the recently acquired Coram business which provides home infusion therapy services only. For financial reporting purposes, all of the Company’s operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment in accordance with the aggregation criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”
Use of Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition and Concentration of Credit Risk: Revenues are recognized under fee for service arrangements through equipment we rent to patients, sales of equipment, supplies, pharmaceuticals and other items we sell to patients and lastly, through capitation payments received from third party payors for services and equipment we provide to the patients of these payors. Revenue generated from equipment that we rent to patients is recognized over the rental period, typically one month, and commences on delivery of the equipment to the patients. Revenue related to sales of equipment, supplies and pharmaceuticals is recognized on the date of delivery to the patients. Revenues derived from capitation arrangements were approximately 10%, 11% and 11% of total net revenues for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Capitation revenue is earned as a result of entering into a contract with a third party to provide its members certain services without regard to the actual services provided, therefore revenue is recognized in the period that the beneficiaries are entitled to health care services. All revenues are recorded at amounts estimated to be received under reimbursement arrangements with third-party payors, including private insurers, prepaid health plans, Medicare and Medicaid. For the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, revenues reimbursed under arrangements with Medicare and Medicaid were approximately 35%, 36% and 39%, respectively, as a percentage of total revenues. In all three years presented, no other third-party payor group represented more than 9% of the Company’s revenues. In fee for service arrangement revenue, rental and sale revenues comprise approximately $730,492,000 or 49.9% and $734,811,000 or 50.1%; $701,224,000 or 51.7% and $653,978,000 or 48.3%; and $704,607,000 or 53.0% and $624,739,000 or 47.0% in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Topic 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, addresses the accounting for revenues in which multiple products and/or services are delivered at different times under one arrangement with a customer, and provides guidance in determining whether multiple deliverables should be considered as separate units of accounting. In our business, we have multiple products that are delivered to patients. These arrangements involve equipment that is rented and related supplies that may be sold that cannot be returned. In our revenue recognition policy regarding arrangements with multiple deliverables, revenue is recognized when each deliverable is provided to the patient. For example, revenues from equipment rental supplies sales are recognized upon of delivery of the products, as the supplies sold are considered a separate unit of accounting.
Deferred Revenue and Deferred Expense: Rental of equipment to patients is accounted for under SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.” Under SFAS No. 13, a lessor is required to recognize rental income over the lease term. Rental of patient equipment is billed on a monthly basis beginning on the date the equipment is delivered. Since deliveries can occur on any day during a month, the amount of billings that apply to the next month are deferred.

Table of Contents

The accounting for the deferral of expenses by lessors is addressed by SFAS No. 91 “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.” Only the direct costs associated with the initial rental period are deferred in accordance with SFAS No. 91.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash is maintained with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout the United States and the Company’s cash management practices limit exposure to any one institution. Book cash overdrafts, which are reported as a component of accounts payable, were $14,228,000 and $18,519,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Management considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable: Included in accounts receivable are earned but unbilled receivables of $48,262,000 and $30,036,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Delays ranging from a day up to several weeks between the date of service and billing can occur due to delays in obtaining certain required payor-specific documentation from internal and external sources. Earned but unbilled receivables are aged from date of service and are considered in the analysis of historical performance and collectibility.
Due to the nature of the industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Such adjustments are typically identified and recorded at the point of cash application, claim denial or account review.
Management performs periodic analyses to evaluate accounts receivable balances to ensure that recorded amounts reflect estimated net realizable value. Specifically, management considers historical realization data, accounts receivable aging trends, other operating trends, the extent of contracted business and business combinations. Also considered are relevant business conditions such as governmental and managed care payor claims processing procedures and system changes. Additionally, focused reviews of certain large and/or problematic payors are performed. Due to continuing changes in the healthcare industry and third-party reimbursement, it is possible that management’s estimates could change in the near term, which could have an impact on operations and cash flows.
Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts which provides for those accounts from which payment is not expected to be received, although services were provided and revenue was earned. Upon determination that an account is uncollectible, it is written-off and charged to the allowance.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and consist primarily of pharmaceuticals and items used in conjunction with patient service equipment. Inventories are reduced by a reserve for slow moving or obsolete inventory.
Patient Service Equipment: Patient service equipment is stated at cost and consists of medical equipment rented to patients on a month-to-month basis. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the equipment, which range from one to ten years.
Property, Equipment and Improvements: Property, equipment and improvements are stated at cost. Included in property and equipment are assets under capitalized leases which consist of information systems hardware and software. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives for each of the categories presented in Note 4 are as follows: leasehold improvements — the shorter of the remaining lease term or seven years; equipment and furnishings — three to fifteen years; and information systems — three to six years.
Capitalized Software: Included in property, equipment and improvements are costs related to internally developed and purchased software that are capitalized and amortized over periods that the assets are expected to provide benefit and are accounted for under Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Capitalized costs include direct costs of materials and services incurred in developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll and benefit costs for employees directly involved in the development of internal-use software.

Long-Lived Assets: The recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and certain identifiable intangible assets, is evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 requires a review for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include but are not limited to:
   
significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;
 
   
significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for our overall business;
 
   
significant decrease in the market value of the assets; and
 
   
significant negative industry or economic trends.
When it is determined that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators, management assesses the assets for impairment based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on the estimated future discounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in its business model. The assumptions supporting the cash flows, including the discount rates, are determined using management’s best estimates as of the date of the impairment review. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, impairment charges may be required for these assets, and future results of operations could be adversely affected.
Goodwill: Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of the businesses acquired. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. The Company has selected December 31 to perform its annual impairment test. Management does not believe any impairment of its goodwill existed at December 31, 2007. The goodwill amounts for the December 3, 2007 acquisition of Coram are based upon preliminary estimates that are subject to change in 2008 upon completion of the final valuation analysis. Final determination of these estimates could result in an adjustment to the purchase price allocation with an offsetting adjustment to goodwill.
Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of covenants not to compete, trade names, patient referral sources and customer lists, all of which arose from business combinations. The values assigned to the covenants not to compete are amortized on a straight-line basis over their contractual terms. Customer list and patient referral sources are amortized over their period of expected benefit. Management tests for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The intangible assets resulting from the December 3, 2007 acquisition of Coram are based upon preliminary estimates that are subject to change in 2008 upon completion of final valuation analysis.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs: Capitalized debt issuance costs include those associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility and the convertible senior notes. Such costs are classified as non-current assets. Costs relating to the revolving credit facility are being amortized through the maturity date of June, 2011. Costs relating to the convertible senior notes are amortized from the issuance date through September 2008. See Note 7 — “Long-term Debt.”
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying value of Apria’s bank debt approximates fair value because the underlying instruments are variable notes that reprice frequently. The fair value of the convertible senior notes, as determined by reference to quoted market prices, is $249,455,000 and $242,398,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short maturity.
Product and Supply Costs: Product and supply costs presented within cost of net revenues are comprised primarily of cost of supplies and equipment provided to patients, infusion drug costs and enteral product costs.
Home Respiratory Therapy Expenses: Home respiratory therapy expenses presented within cost of net revenues are comprised primarily of employee salary and benefit costs or contract fees paid to respiratory therapists and other related professionals who are deployed to service a patient. Home respiratory therapy personnel are also engaged in a number of administrative and marketing tasks, and accordingly, these costs are classified within selling, distribution and administrative expenses and amounted to $19,766,000 in 2007 and $15,694,000 in 2006.

Distribution Expenses: Distribution expenses are included in selling, distribution and administrative expenses and totaled $175,947,000, $174,273,000 and $171,724,000 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Such expense represents the cost incurred to coordinate and deliver products and services to the patients. Included in distribution expenses are leasing, maintenance, licensing and fuel costs for the vehicle fleet; salaries and other costs related to drivers and dispatch personnel; and amounts paid to courier and other outside shipping vendors. Such expenses fall within the definition of “shipping and handling” costs as discussed in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-10 “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs,” which permits their income statement classification within selling and administrative expenses.
Self-Insurance: Coverage for certain employee medical claims and benefits, as well as workers’ compensation, vehicle liability, professional and general liability are self-insured. Accruals for medical claims at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $8,484,000 and $10,061,000, respectively. Amounts accrued for costs of the other liability coverages totaled $15,456,000 and $10,977,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. All such amounts are classified in other accrued liabilities.
Advertising: Advertising costs are initially established as a prepaid expense and amortized over the period of expected benefit. Such expenses are included in selling, distribution and administrative expenses and amounted to $3,831,000, $5,849,000 and $6,844,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Accordingly, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance when it is determined that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In determining the necessity and amount of a valuation allowance, management considers current and past performance, the operating market environment, tax planning strategies and the length of tax benefit carryforward periods.
As of January 1, 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 was adopted. Prior to January 1, 2007, tax contingencies were accounted for under the principles of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. See Note 3 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding adoption of FIN 48.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: From time to time derivative financial instruments are used to limit exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s variable rate long-term debt. The interest rate swap agreements are being accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Unrealized gains and losses on the fair value of the swap agreements are reflected, net of taxes, in operating income, as the transactions no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Exposure to credit loss under the swap agreement is limited to the interest rate spread in the event of counterparty nonperformance. The Company does not anticipate losses due to counterparty nonperformance as our counterparties to the swap agreement are nationally recognized financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
Share-Based Compensation: Prior to 2006, stock-based compensation plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. For 2005, net income reflects compensation expense for restricted stock awards and restricted stock purchase rights valued in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25.
The provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” were adopted on January 1, 2006. The modified prospective transition method was elected and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for prior periods presented have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. The short-cut method was elected, as provided by SFAS No. 123(R), for determining the historical pool of tax benefits. See Note 8 — Share-Based Compensation and Stockholders’ Equity.
Comprehensive Income: For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the difference between net income and comprehensive income is $122,000, $(105,000) and $482,000, respectively, net of taxes, which is attributable to unrealized (losses) and gains on various interest rate swap agreements.
Per Share Amounts: Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the potential shares outstanding, including dilutive stock options and other awards, using the treasury stock method.

NOTE 2 — RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Historically, the Company accounted for deferred revenues and deferred expenses related to equipment it rents to patients under a “reimbursement contract” method. These deferred amounts were included in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, on which the Company’s independent registered public accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP, issued an unqualified opinion. In the course of a review in the fourth quarter of 2007, of the Company’s accounting for deferred revenue and deferred expenses it was identified that the Company had incorrectly deferred revenue related to all of the Company’s capitated contracts (albeit, in the fee for service arrangements line item) and that the Company incorrectly deferred certain indirect and overhead expenses. The Company concluded that the rental of such equipment should be accounted for under SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.” Under SFAS No. 13 lessors are required to recognize rental income over the lease term. The Company bills for the rental of patient equipment on a monthly basis beginning on the date the equipment is delivered. Since deliveries can occur on any day during a month revenue must be deferred for the amount of billings that apply to the next month.
The accounting for the deferral of expenses by lessors is addressed by SFAS No. 91 “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.” Under SFAS No. 91 only the direct costs associated with leases are to be deferred. The Company has re-evaluated the amount of costs to be deferred and now will be deferring only the direct costs associated with the initial rental period under SFAS No. 91 and have adjusted our financial statements accordingly.
On December 31, 2007, the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded to restate its previously issued financial statements because of reporting errors solely relating to its accounting for deferred revenue and deferred expenses related to equipment it rents to patients. Accordingly, the Company restated its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, and its consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The impact of the restatement decreased net income for 2006 by $0.7 million, or 0.9%, and increased net income for 2005 by $1.5 million or 2.4%. The cumulative effect of the errors decreased stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2006 by $10.7 million or 3.0% of retained earnings and 2.6% of total stockholders’ equity. The cumulative effect of the errors decreased stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2005 by $17.1 million or 7.7% of retained earnings and 4.2% of total stockholders’ equity.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In 2006, the Company made adjustments to its financial statements related to deferral of certain revenue and expenses pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the SAB 108 adjustment, the Company included all costs, including indirect and overhead costs which should have not been deferred. Prior to the SAB 108 adjustment in 2006, the Company did not record any deferred revenues or expenses. As a result of the restatement, the SAB 108 adjustment has been eliminated.
The following tables show the impact of the restatement.

NOTE 3 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48. This interpretation creates a comprehensive model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized for financial statement purposes. FIN 48 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
FIN 48 was adopted as of January 1, 2007 and the Company increased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by recording a cumulative effect adjustment of $4,233,000. This cumulative effect adjustment was recorded as a reduction to the retained earnings balance at January 1, 2007. Potential accrued interest and penalties relevant to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within income tax expense.
FASB Staff Position FIN 48-1 (“FSP 48-1”), “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” was issued by the FASB in May 2007. FSP 48-1 amended FIN 48 to provide guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP 48-1 required application upon the initial adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FSP 48-1 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the statement to determine what, if any, impact the statement will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 expands opportunities to use fair value measurement in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) amends the recognition provisions for assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including those arising from contractual and noncontractual contingencies. SFAS No. 141(R) also amends the recognition criteria for contingent consideration. In addition, under SFAS No. 141(R), changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 141(R) on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management does not currently expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 was issued in February 2008. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value at least once a year, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

NOTE 5 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On December 3, 2007, the acquisition of Coram, Inc. (“Coram”) was completed. Coram, which was privately-held, is a national provider of home infusion and specialty pharmaceutical services. The Coram acquisition strategically provided the Company an opportunity to diversify the existing product and payor mix. Additionally it positioned the Company in the growing clinical and specialty pharmaceutical and infusion market. During 2006, three complementary businesses were acquired within specific geographic markets, comprised primarily of home respiratory therapy businesses. Similarly, 21 companies were acquired during 2005. For all periods presented, these all-cash transactions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated income statements from the dates of acquisition. The purchase prices were allocated to the various underlying tangible and intangible assets and liabilities on the basis of estimated fair value.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase prices of all acquisitions. Payments for prior years’ acquisitions totaled $83,000, $4,523,000 and $8,576,000 for the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, unpaid consideration totaled $25,000, $108,000 and $5,682,000, respectively, and is included in the consolidated balance sheets in other accrued liabilities.

NOTE 6 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Business combinations are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” which requires that the purchase method of accounting be applied to all business combinations and addresses the criteria for initial recognition of intangible assets and goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill or an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized.
Goodwill impairment testing is conducted at a “reporting unit” level and compares each reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value as of December 31 annually. The Company has determined that its geographic divisions are reporting units under SFAS No. 142. The measurement of fair value for each division is based on an evaluation of future discounted cash flows and is further tested using a multiple of earnings approach. For all years presented, testing indicated that no impairment existed and, accordingly, no loss has been recognized.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the net increase in the carrying amount of goodwill of $176,048,000 is the result of the acquisition of Coram on December 3, 2007. Most of the goodwill recorded in conjunction with business combinations for the periods presented is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill and intangible assets from our Coram acquisition are based upon preliminary estimates that are subject to change in 2008 upon completion of the final valuation analysis.
Intangible assets consist of the following:

Revolving Credit Facility: The senior secured credit agreement with Bank of America and a syndicate of lenders was amended effective June 23, 2006. The amendment extended the maturity date from November 23, 2009 to June 23, 2011 and lowered the applicable interest rate margins and commitment fees.
The credit agreement is structured as a $500 million revolving credit facility and permits Apria to select one of two variable interest rates. One option is the base rate, which is expressed as the higher of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (b) the Bank of America prime rate. The other option is the Eurodollar rate, which is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Interest on outstanding balances under the credit agreement is determined by adding a margin to the Eurodollar rate or base rate in effect at each interest calculation date. The applicable margin for the revolving credit facility is based on Apria’s debt rating as determined by either Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investor Services with respect to the credit facility.
The new applicable margins range from 0.625% to 1.25% for Eurodollar loans and from zero to 0.25% for base rate loans. The range for commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility is now 0.10% to 0.20%. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2007, after consideration of the effect of the swap agreements, was 6.09%. Without the effect of the swap agreements, such rate would have been 6.14%.
At December 31, 2007, borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $424,000,000, outstanding letters of credit totaled $12,136,000 and credit available under the revolving facility was $63,864,000. The Company must maintain compliance with certain financial covenants measured on a quarterly basis, including a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. At December 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants required by the credit agreement. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a pledge of the common stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Convertible Senior Notes: In August 2003, convertible senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 were issued under an indenture with U.S. Bank National Association. The notes were issued in a private placement at an issue price of $1,000 per note (100% of the principal amount at maturity) and were subsequently registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The notes will mature on September 1, 2033, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Some or all of the notes may be redeemed at any time after September 8, 2010, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and contingent interest, if any, to the redemption date. The holders of the notes may require the repurchase of some or all of the notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, including contingent interest, up to but excluding the applicable repurchase date, initially on September 1, 2008, and subsequently on September 1 of 2010, 2013, 2018, 2023 and 2028, or at any time prior to their maturity following a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture. Any notes required to be repurchased will be paid for in cash, pursuant to the terms of a December 2004 amendment to the indenture which eliminated the option of paying part of the repurchase price in common stock. Since the holders of the notes may require us to redeem some or all of the notes on September 1, 2008, the principal amount of $250 million has been reclassified to the current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.
The notes bear interest at the rate of 3 3/8% per annum, which is payable on September 1 and March 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2004. Also, during certain periods commencing on September 8, 2010, contingent interest will be payable on the interest payment date for the applicable interest period if the average trading price of the notes during the five trading days ending on the third day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the notes. The contingent interest payable per note will equal 0.25% per year of the average trading price of such note during the applicable five trading-day reference period. During certain periods, the notes are convertible, at the holders’ option, into shares of Apria common stock, initially at a conversion rate of 28.6852 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment and under certain circumstances as outlined in the indenture.

Total interest paid on debt in 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $18,062,000, $29,891,000 and $18,783,000, respectively.
Hedging Activities: Interest rate risk exists on the variable rate long-term debt. Interest rate risk is managed by evaluating and monitoring all available relevant information, including but not limited to, the structure of its interest-bearing assets and liabilities, historical interest rate trends and interest rate forecasts published by major financial institutions. The tools that may be utilized to moderate exposure to fluctuations in the relevant interest rate indices include, but are not limited to: (1) strategic determination of repricing periods and related principal amounts, and (2) derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap agreements, caps or collars. Derivatives are not used for trading or other speculative purposes.
During 2007, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement in effect to fix its LIBOR-based variable rate debt. The agreement, a forward-starting contract with a three-year term, became effective in January 2006, and has a notional amount of $25,000,000 that fixes an equivalent amount of its variable rate debt at 4.44%. In 2006, the Company had two interest rate swap agreements. Each agreement had a notional amount of $25,000,000, with one agreement expiring in December 2006 and the other agreement expiring in January 2009. In 2005, the Company had two interest rate swap agreements. Each agreement had a notional amount of $25,000,000, with one agreement expiring in December 2005 and the other agreement expiring in December 2006. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company received net settlement amounts of $233,000, $540,000, and $11,000, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the aggregate fair value of the swap agreement was a liability of $105,000 and is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in current liabilities. At December 31, 2006, the aggregate fair value of the swap agreements was an asset of $356,000, and is reflected in other assets.
The interest rate swap agreements are being accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Unrealized gains and losses on the fair value of the swap agreements are reflected, net of taxes, in operating income, as the transactions no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Exposure to credit loss under the swap agreement is limited to the interest rate spread in the event of counterparty nonperformance. The Company does not anticipate losses due to counterparty nonperformance as our counterparties to the swap agreement are nationally recognized financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
NOTE 8 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Effective January 1, 2006, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) were adopted which establish accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Prior to January 1, 2006, share-based compensation to employees was accounted for in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” were followed. The modified prospective transition method was elected as provided by SFAS No. 123(R) and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for the prior periods presented have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2007, share-based compensation expense was $11,150,000, of which $1,751,000 was related to awards issued prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). All such compensation is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statement within the selling, distribution and administrative expense line item. The related awards were granted to administrative personnel or members of the Board of Directors and therefore no portion of the share-based compensation has been classified within cost of net revenues. Share-based compensation expense recognized in 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest; therefore, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the pro forma information presented for periods prior to 2006, forfeitures were accounted for as they occurred.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, cash received from the exercise of options totaled $17,521,000. Income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements amounted to $3,958,000.
Estimates of the fair value of stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s term, and the expected annual dividend yield. Management believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of stock options granted in 2007. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards.
The key input assumptions that were utilized in the valuation of the stock options granted are summarized in the table below.
                         
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2007     2006     2005  
Expected option term in years (1)
    4.6       4.8       4.1  
Expected volatility (2)
    29.9 %     27.3 %     32.0 %
Risk-free interest rate (3)
    4.5 %     4.6 %     3.8 %
Expected annual dividend yield
    0 %     0 %     0 %
     
(1)  
The expected option term is based on historical exercise and post-vesting termination patterns.
 
(2)  
Expected volatility represents a combination of historical stock price volatility and implied volatility from publicly-traded options on Apria’s common stock.
 
(3)  
The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option.
2003 Performance Incentive Plan: In July 2003, stockholders approved the 2003 Performance Incentive Plan (“2003 Plan”), which permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), stock bonuses, restricted stock, performance stock, stock units, phantom stock, dividend equivalents, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, and cash awards. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, any award may be paid or settled in cash. The 2003 Plan is currently the only plan from which stock-based awards may be granted.
The maximum number of shares that may be issued as awards under the 2003 Plan equals the sum of (1) 6,500,000 shares, plus (2) the number of shares subject to stock options granted under previous plans, which expire or are cancelled or terminated without being exercised, after the effective date of the 2003 Plan.
The 2003 Plan also contains the following limits:
   
grants of incentive stock options up to 2,000,000 shares,
 
   
grants of options and SARs during any calendar year to any individual up to 500,000 shares,
 
   
shares subject to all awards granted to an individual during any calendar year up to 1,000,000 shares,
 
   
awards granted to non-employee directors up to 700,000 shares,

 

F-18

awards granted, other than for stock options and SARs, up to 2,275,000 shares,
 
   
performance-based awards, other than stock options and SARs, granted to an individual up to 500,000 shares in a calendar year, and
 
   
performance-based awards, payable in cash at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, granted to an individual up to $10,000,000 in a calendar year.
The per share exercise price of an option or SAR (collectively referred to as “options”) generally may not be less than the per share fair market value on the date of grant. The maximum term of an option is ten years from the date of grant. Performance-based awards may also be issued from the 2003 Plan. The vesting or payment of such awards will depend on the Company’s performance to established measurement criteria. The performance measurement period may range from three months to ten years. Performance-based awards may be paid in stock or, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in cash. Historically, new shares are issued when options or stock-based awards are exercised.
The Company believes that share-based awards better align the interests of its senior management and other key employees with those of its stockholders as well as serving as an effective tool to attract, retain and motivate plan participants.
Stock Options: The 2003 Plan provides for the granting of stock options to employees and non-employee directors. Such grants to employees may include non-qualified and incentive stock options. The exercise price of an option is established at the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Vesting of stock options is time-based and is generally over a three-year period.

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $10.20, $7.39 and $10.11, respectively. There were 1,056,000 stock options granted in the corresponding period in 2006. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $9,642,000, $1,272,000 and $10,239,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
As of December 31, 2007, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $6,907,000, which is expected to be expensed over a weighted-average period of 1.89 years.
Restricted Stock Purchase Rights: In 2003 and 2004, restricted stock purchase rights were granted under the 2003 Plan to certain members of executive management. The awards represented the right to purchase a certain number of shares of common stock at a future date at a specified exercise price. The exercise price was established at 25% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Such awards generally require that certain performance conditions and service conditions be met before the awards will vest.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2005: risk-free interest rate of 3.78%; dividend yield of 0%; expected life of 4.13 years; and volatility of 31.73%.
Stock Option Acceleration: On November 30, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of certain outstanding employee stock options with per share prices above $26.00, so that each such option became fully vested. As a result of this action, options to purchase 863,227 shares of Apria common stock became immediately exercisable. The accelerated options represented approximately 18.6% of total outstanding options at the time of the action.
The purpose of accelerating the vesting of these options was to eliminate the compensation expense that would otherwise be recognized in the consolidated statements of income in future financial statements with respect to these options upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). More than half of the accelerated options would have vested according to their terms during 2006 and more than 77% would have vested by February 2007. As a result of the acceleration, the Company expects to reduce its future share-based compensation expense by approximately $7,580,000.
Treasury Stock: All repurchased shares of common stock are held as treasury shares.
In 2007, 68,863 shares of employee restricted stock, valued at $1,828,000, were retained upon vesting to satisfy the related tax obligations and 8,689 shares of employee restricted stock purchase rights valued at $250,000, were retained upon vesting to satisfy the related exercise price and tax obligations.
In 2006, 7,672 shares of employee restricted stock, valued at $141,000, were retained upon vesting to satisfy related tax obligations.
In October 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250,000,000 worth of outstanding common stock. On November 7, 2005, 7,337,526 shares of common stock were purchased for $175,000,000 through an accelerated share repurchase program. Under the agreement, the Company’s counterparty borrowed shares that were sold to the Company at an initial price of $23.83. The counterparty then repurchased shares over a period that commenced immediately after the sale of shares to Apria. The repurchase transaction was completed in February 2006. The agreement contained a provision that subjected Apria to a purchase price adjustment based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over the period during which the counterparty purchased the shares. Such provision resulted in an additional $242,000 owed to the counterparty that Apria elected to settle in cash in February 2006. This amount was recorded as a liability at December 31, 2005, with a corresponding charge to interest expense reflecting the change in the fair value of the settlement contract. The amount remaining on the aforementioned Board authorization expired at the end of the first quarter of 2007.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance when it is determined that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. During 2007, the valuation allowance was increased by a net $4,792,000 primarily related to state tax net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards from the December 2007 acquisition of Coram.
As of December 31, 2007, federal NOLs of approximately $111,186,000 are available to offset future federal taxable income. Such NOLs will expire at various times and in varying amounts during our calendar 2027 through 2028 tax years. These NOLs were acquired in connection with the Coram acquisition and are subject to an annual utilization limitation of approximately $17,500,000 as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Additionally, our ability to utilize federal tax NOLs and certain acquisition-related state tax NOLs may be further limited due to certain tax rules involving the exchange of Coram stock for its debt and associated interest. These debt for stock exchanges occurred in Coram’s 2000 through 2002 tax years.
Additionally, Coram’s NOLs, tax assets and other attributes could be subject to substantial utilization limitations due to previous Section 382 ownership changes which may have occurred prior to our acquisition of Coram. In general, an “ownership change,” as defined by Section 382 of the Code, occurs when a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period results in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company. The Company is currently analyzing whether a Section 382 ownership change occurred prior to our December 2007 acquisition of Coram and the impact, if any, that such an ownership change could have on NOL carryforwards, tax assets and other tax attributes.

In conjunction with the Company’s January 1, 2007 adoption of FIN 48, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was increased by recording a cumulative effect adjustment of $4,233,000. This cumulative effect adjustment was recorded as a reduction to the retained earnings balance at January 1, 2007.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007 is as follows (in thousands):
         
Balance at January 1, 2007 (included in Income Taxes Payable and Other Non-Current Liabilities)

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits which, if ultimately recognized, could affect the effective tax rate in a future period is $16,948,000 as of January 1, 2007 and $15,543,000 as of December 31, 2007. The $16,948,000 and $15,543,000 unrecognized tax benefits amounts are both net of federal and/or state tax benefits and are inclusive of $2,679,000 and $3,793,000 of penalties and interest (net of tax benefit), respectively.

Based on purchase accounting rules at December 31, 2007, Coram’s unrecognized tax benefit liability of $80,034,000 (net), if recognized, would only impact goodwill (versus the Company’s effective tax rate). However, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141(R), the amount of Coram’s unrecognized tax benefits which, if ultimately recognized, could affect the Company’s effective tax rate in a future period is $80,034,000 (net).
As of December 31, 2007, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could be increased or decreased by the following estimated amounts within the succeeding 12 months.
   
Gross increase of $2,800,000 (net $2,600,000) related to the timing uncertainty for when certain deductions should be recognized for tax return purposes. This uncertainty is subject to review by taxing agencies.
 
   
Gross increase of $1,100,000 (net $700,000) related to state tax uncertainties involving tax filing positions and allocation of income among various jurisdictions. This uncertainty is subject to review by state taxing agencies.
 
   
Gross increase of $1,800,000 (net $1,200,000) for interest and penalties primarily related to other tax uncertainties taken in prior years. The increase is an annual expense which will be accrued until the associated tax uncertainties are extinguished through such means as audit settlement, payment, or lapse in statutes of limitations.
 
   
Gross decrease of $2,900,000 (net $1,900,000) related to state tax uncertainties. Ultimate realization of this decrease is dependent upon the occurrence of certain events (including the lapse in statutes of limitations).
Interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as part of the provision for income taxes. Gross interest and penalties of $3,844,000 and $6,412,000 are provided for within the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
We file federal and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations expiration dates. The calendar 2004 through 2007 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the calendar 2005 tax year and certain state tax agencies are examining the calendar tax years 2001 through 2004.
Net income taxes paid in 2007, 2006, and 2005 amounted to $26,885,000, $16,406,000, and $52,099,000, respectively.

NOTE 11 — LEASES
The Company leases all of its facilities. Lease terms are generally ten years or less with renewal options for additional periods. The occasionally unused facility space is subleased when a lease buyout is not a viable option. Sublease income is recognized monthly and is offset against facility lease expense. Sublease income in 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $761,000, $1,046,000 and $988,000, respectively. In addition, delivery vehicles and office equipment are leased under operating leases. Many leases provide that taxes, maintenance, insurance and other expenses are the responsibility of the Company. Rentals are generally increased annually by the Consumer Price Index, subject to certain maximum amounts defined within individual agreements. Net rent expense in 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $76,228,000, $73,293,000 and $74,835,000, respectively.
In December 2007, infusion pumps and vehicles were acquired, as a result of the acquisition of Coram, totaling $6,887,000 under capital lease arrangements with lease terms ranging from 36 to 60 months. Related amortization for the one-month period amounted to $182,000.
During 2004, information systems hardware and software totaling $3,156,000 were acquired under capital lease arrangements with lease terms ranging from 24 to 36 months. Related amortization amounted to $796,000 and $709,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The obligations under those capital lease arrangements were satisfied during 2006. There were no purchases of assets under capital lease arrangements during 2006.

NOTE 12 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
401(k) Savings Plan: The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan, whereby eligible employees may contribute up to 35% of their annual base earnings. For 2005, the Company matched 50% of the first 8% of employee contributions. For 2006, the Company suspended the employer matching contribution. For 2007, the Company matched 25% of the first 8% of employee contributions. Total expenses related to the defined contribution plans were $1,915,000, $0 and $4,970,000 in the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan: A non-qualified deferred compensation plan is available for approximately 250 employees and members of the Board of Directors. The plan provides participants with the advantages of pre-tax contributions and tax deferred compounding of interest. Plan assets, which represent the fair market value of the investments, were $5,136,000 and $4,966,000, and plan liabilities were $4,892,000 and $4,128,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 13 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation: The Company is the defendant in a purported California class action lawsuit asserting blanket claims of liability under various California employee protection statutes and regulations relating to payment of regular and overtime wages, the timeliness of such payments, the maintenance and provision of access to required payroll records, and the provision of meal and rest periods. The original claim was filed by Jesus Venegas on February 21, 2006 in the California Superior Court for the County of San Francisco (Case No. CGC — 06 — 449669). The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount as well as other relief on behalf of a purported class consisting of certain of the Company’s hourly employees in the State of California. An answer to the complaint was filed denying all material allegations and asserting a number of affirmative defenses, and successfully pursued motions for summary adjudication eliminating the tort based claims such as false imprisonment, fraud and unjust enrichment, as well as claims for punitive damages and a declaratory judgment. Based on the investigation of the allegations made to date, the Company believes there are meritorious defenses to the claims and intends to continue a vigorous defense of the lawsuit. At a case management conference held on January 30, 2008, the Court established a new trial date of January 26, 2009. In addition, the court set March 7, 2008 as the date for a hearing on the composition of the putative class and August 27, 2008 as the date for a hearing on the issue of whether this case may be certified as a class action. Until a final decision is made with respect to the plaintiff’s class action allegations, no assurances can be given that the ultimate disposition of this case will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company is also engaged in the defense of certain claims and lawsuits arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business, the outcomes of which are not determinable at this time. Insurance policies covering such potential losses where such coverage is cost effective are maintained. In the opinion of management, any liability that might be incurred upon the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Qui Tam Settlement and Related Costs: In 1998, the Company was the subject of an investigation launched by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The investigation concerned the documentation supporting billings for services provided to patients whose healthcare costs were paid by Medicare and other federal programs. The investigation related to two civil qui tam lawsuits against the Company filed by individuals suing on behalf of the government. The Company and representatives of the government and the individual plaintiffs reached a preliminary agreement in August 2005 to settle these lawsuits for the aggregate sum of $17,600,000, without any admission of wrongdoing by the Company. The settlement was finalized in a definitive agreement that was fully executed and became effective on September 30, 2005, and the settlement amount was paid on that date. An additional $1,658,000 in legal fees and other related costs were incurred during 2005.
Medicare and Medicaid Reimbursement: There are a number of provisions contained within recent legislation or proposed legislation that affect or may affect Medicare reimbursement polices for items and services provided. The Company cannot be certain of the ultimate impact of all legislated and contemplated changes, and therefore, cannot provide assurance that these changes will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.
Supplier Concentration: Currently, approximately 66% of purchases for patient service equipment and supplies are from four vendors. Although there are a limited number of suppliers, management believes that other vendors could provide similar products on comparable terms. However, a change in suppliers could cause delays in service delivery and possible losses in revenue, which could adversely affect operating results.
Guarantees and Indemnities: From time to time, certain types of contracts are entered into that contingently require indemnification of parties against third party claims. These contracts primarily relate to (i) certain asset purchase agreements, under which indemnification may be provided to the seller of the business being acquired; (ii) certain real estate leases, which may require indemnification to property owners for environmental or other liabilities and other claims arising from use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with officers, directors and employees, which may require indemnification of such persons for liabilities arising out of their relationship with the Company.
The terms of such obligations vary by contract and in most instances a specific or maximum dollar amount is not explicitly stated therein. Generally, amounts under these contracts cannot be reasonably estimated until a specific claim is asserted. Consequently, no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the balance sheets for any of the periods presented.
