Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 10, 2004, Molina Healthcare of California, a California corporation and the wholly owned subsidiary of Molina Healthcare, Inc., and Universal Care, Inc., a California corporation, entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement to transfer Universal's Medi-Cal (Medicaid) and Healthy Families Program (California's State Children's Health Insurance Program) contracts to Molina Healthcare of California. In order to close, the transfer must be approved by multiple governmental agencies, including the California Department of Managed Health Care, the California Department of Health Services, and the California Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board. Approximately 17,000 of Universal's Medi-Cal and Healthy Families members could be affected by the transaction. If approved, Molina Healthcare of California hopes to close the transaction and begin providing coverage to these members in the second quarter of 2005.

The consideration for the transfer of the contracts to Molina Healthcare of California is $6.2 million, subject to possible adjustment. As part of the transaction, Universal shall assign the bulk of its provider network related to its Medi-Cal and Healthy Families members to Molina Healthcare of California. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement executed by the parties is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
