Highlight of Business Operations:

We currently receive rebates from certain manufacturers and distributors of pharmaceutical products for achieving targets of market share or purchase volumes. Rebates are designed to prefer, protect, or maintain a manufacturers products that are dispensed by the pharmacy under its formulary. Rebates for brand name products are generally based upon achieving a defined market share tier within a therapeutic class. Rebates for generic products are more likely to be based on achieving volume requirements. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, rebates were $12.9 million and $12.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, rebates were $35.0 million and $38.8 million, respectively.
