Invotex Group Reorganizes Financially Troubled Home Healthcare Agency; Gives SecureCare New Direction as it Emerges from Receivership as Compass

Baltimore, MD - January 24, 2011

Raymond J. Peroutka, Jr., Managing Director and CEO of Invotex Group, announced that the firm has successfully reorganized the financially troubled SecureCare Services, Ltd., which has been renamed Compass, Inc., and its Receivership has been dismissed by the Circuit Court for Montgomery County.

Prior to Invotex’s July 2008 appointment by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as Receiver for SecureCare, the company was deeply insolvent and had posted a loss of $2.9 million for the prior 12 months. Over a period of 24 months, Invotex implemented a complete reorganization of SecureCare, its staff, resident housing, quality of care systems and financial reporting systems. In addition, SecureCare’s new Executive Director, Andrea Kolp, helped guide SecureCare during the process with the goal of remaking SecureCare into a model DDA agency. The unaudited financial statements of the now not-for-profit, which is overseen by a volunteer board of directors, shows net income in excess of $1.5 million for the period ended June 30, 2010.

According to Peroutka, “This was a big win for everyone involved, including the staff, creditors, state regulators and, most importantly, the constituents. In a very brief time following our appointment as receiver, we were able to assess the operational and financial problems, impose controls and begin corrective action. This was all accomplished while assuring the health and safety of more than 90 developmentally disabled individuals. Not only did they receive uninterrupted service throughout the receivership, but today they have a stronger, financially stable agency upon which they can depend.”
