1.            Description of Business

Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “ApolloMed”) and its affiliated physician groups are a physician-centric, integrated healthcare delivery system serving Medicare, Commercial and Medi-Cal beneficiaries in California.  ApolloMed’s physician network consists of hospitalists, primary care physicians and specialist physicians primarily through the Company’s owned and affiliated physician groups. ApolloMed operates as a medical management holding company through the following subsidiary management companies: Apollo Medical Management, Inc. (“AMM”), Pulmonary Critical Care Management, Inc. (“PCCM”), Verdugo Medical Management, Inc. (“VMM”), and ApolloMed ACO, Inc. (“ApolloMed ACO). Through AMM, PCCM, and VMM, the Company manages affiliated medical groups, which consist of ApolloMed Hospitalists (“AMH"), ApolloMed Care Clinic (“ACC”), Maverick Medical Group, Inc. (“MMG”), Los Angeles Lung Center (“LALC”), Eli Hendel, M.D., Inc. (“Hendel”), AKM Medical Group, Inc. (“AKM”) (see Note 3), and Southern California Heart Centers (“SCHC”) (see Note 3); and a controlling interest in ApolloMed Palliative Services, LLC (“APS”). AMM, PCCM and VMM each operate as a physician practice management company (“PPM”) and are in the business of providing management services to physician practice corporations (“PPC”) under long-term management service agreements. ApolloMed ACO participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”), the goal of which is to improve the quality of patient care and outcomes through more efficient and coordinated approach among providers. 

Change in Fiscal Year

On May 16, 2014, the board of directors of the Company approved a change to the Company's fiscal year end from January 31 to March 31. The March 31, 2014 amounts included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto are unaudited.

2.        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Principles

These condensed consolidated statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in management’s opinion, are necessary, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 8, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (1) Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries AMM, PCCM, and VMM, (2) the Company’s controlling interest in ApolloMed ACO, and APS, which is a newly formed entity with no operations to date to provide home health and hospice medical services and in which a non-controlling interest in APS contributed $550,000 in cash; and (3) PPCs managed under long-term management service agreements including AMH, MMG, ACC, LALC, Hendel, AKM and SCHC. Some states have laws that prohibit business entities, such as ApolloMed, from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, exercising control over medical decisions by physicians (collectively known as the corporate practice of medicine), or engaging in certain arrangements with physicians, such as fee-splitting. In California, the Company operates by maintaining long-term management service agreements with the PPCs, which are each owned and operated by physicians, and which employ or contract with additional physicians to provide hospitalist services. Under the management agreements, the Company provides and performs all non-medical management and administrative services, including financial management, information systems, marketing, risk management and administrative support. Each management agreement typically has a term from 10 to 20 years unless terminated by either party for cause. The management agreements are not terminable by the PPCs, except in the case of material breach or bankruptcy of the respective PPM.

Through the management agreements and the Company’s relationship with the stockholders of the PPCs, the Company has exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations of the PPCs. Consequently, the Company consolidates the revenue and expenses of each PPC from the date of execution of the applicable management agreement.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of contracted, fee-for-service, and capitation revenue. Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are rendered. Revenue is principally derived from the provision of healthcare staffing services to patients within healthcare facilities. The form of billing and related risk of collection for such services may vary by customer. The following is a summary of the principal forms of the Company’s billing arrangements and how net revenue is recognized for each.

Contracted revenue

Contracted revenue represents revenue generated under contracts for which the Company provides physician and other healthcare staffing and administrative services in return for a contractually negotiated fee. Contract revenue consists primarily of billings based on hours of healthcare staffing provided at agreed-to hourly rates. Revenue in such cases is recognized as the hours are worked by the Company’s staff and contractors. Additionally, contract revenue also includes supplemental revenue from hospitals where the Company may have a fee-for-service contract arrangement or provide physician advisory services to the medical staff at a specific facility. Contract revenue for the supplemental billing in such cases is recognized based on the terms of each individual contract. Such contract terms generally either provides for a fixed monthly dollar amount or a variable amount based upon measurable monthly activity, such as hours staffed, patient visits or collections per visit compared to a minimum activity threshold. Such supplemental revenues based on variable arrangements are usually contractually fixed on a monthly, quarterly or annual calculation basis considering the variable factors negotiated in each such arrangement. Such supplemental revenues are recognized as revenue in the period when such amounts are determined to be fixed and therefore contractually obligated as payable by the customer under the terms of the respective agreement. Additionally, the Company derives a portion of the Company’s revenue as a contractual bonus from collections received by the Company’s partners and such revenue is contingent upon the collection of third-party billings. These revenues are not considered earned and therefore not recognized as revenue until actual cash collections are achieved in accordance with the contractual arrangements for such services.

Fee-for-service revenue 

Fee-for-service revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which the Company bills and collects the professional component of charges for medical services rendered by the Company’s contracted and employed physicians. Under the fee-for-service arrangements, the Company bills patients for services provided and receives payment from patients or their third-party payers. Fee-for-service revenue is reported net of contractual allowances and policy discounts. All services provided are expected to result in cash flows and are therefore reflected as net revenue in the financial statements. Fee-for-service revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered to specific patients and reduced immediately for the estimated impact of contractual allowances in the case of those patients having third-party payor coverage. The recognition of net revenue (gross charges less contractual allowances) from such visits is dependent on such factors as proper completion of medical charts following a patient visit, the forwarding of such charts to the Company’s billing center for medical coding and entering into the Company’s billing system and the verification of each patient’s submission or representation at the time services are rendered as to the payor(s) responsible for payment of such services. Revenue is recorded based on the information known at the time of entering of such information into the Company’s billing systems as well as an estimate of the revenue associated with medical services.

Capitation revenue

Capitation revenue (net of capitation withheld to fund risk share deficits) is recognized in the month in which the Company is obligated to provide services. Minor ongoing adjustments to prior months’ capitation, primarily arising from contracted health maintenance organizations (each, an “HMO”) finalizing of monthly patient eligibility data for additions or subtractions of enrollees, are recognized in the month they are communicated to the Company. Managed care revenues of the Company consist primarily of capitated fees for medical services provided by the Company under a provider service agreement (PSA) or capitated arrangements directly made with various managed care providers including HMO’s. Capitation revenue under the PSA and HMO contracts is prepaid monthly to the Company based on the number of enrollees electing the Company as their healthcare provider. Additionally, Medicare pays capitation using a “Risk Adjustment model,” which compensates managed care organizations and providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual enrollee. Health plans and providers with higher acuity enrollees will receive more and those with lower acuity enrollees will receive less. Under Risk Adjustment, capitation is determined based on health severity, measured using patient encounter data. Capitation is paid on an interim basis based on data submitted for the enrollee for the preceding year and is adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled. Positive or negative capitation adjustments are made for Medicare enrollees with conditions requiring more or less healthcare services than assumed in the interim payments. Since the Company cannot reliably predict these adjustments, periodic changes in capitation amounts earned as a result of Risk Adjustment are recognized when those changes are communicated by the health plans to the Company.

HMO contracts also include provisions to share in the risk for enrollee hospitalization, whereby the Company can earn additional incentive revenue or incur penalties based upon the utilization of hospital services. Typically, any shared risk deficits are not payable until and unless the Company generates future risk sharing surpluses, or if the HMO withholds a portion of the capitation revenue to fund any risk share deficits. At the termination of the HMO contract, any accumulated risk share deficit is typically extinguished. Due to the lack of access to information necessary to estimate the related costs, shared-risk amounts receivable from the HMOs are only recorded when such amounts are known. Risk pools for the prior contract years are generally final settled in the third or fourth quarter of the following fiscal year.

In addition to risk-sharing revenues, the Company also receives incentives under “pay-for-performance” programs for quality medical care, based on various criteria. These incentives, which are included in other revenues, are generally recorded in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year and are recorded when such amounts are known.

Under full risk capitation contracts, an affiliated hospital entered into agreements with several HMOs, pursuant to which, the affiliated hospital will provide hospital, medical, and other healthcare services to enrollees under a fixed capitation arrangement ("Capitation Arrangement"). Under the risk pool sharing agreement, the affiliated hospital and medical group agreed to establish a Hospital Control Program to serve the enrollees, pursuant to which, the medical group is allocated a 90% residual interest in the profit or loss, after deductions for costs to affiliated hospitals. The Company participates in the full risk programs under the terms of the PSA, whereby the Company is wholly liable for the deficits allocated to the medical group under the arrangement. The related liability is included in medical liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30 and March 31, 2014 (see "Medical Liabilities" in this Note 2, below).

Medicare Shared Savings Program Revenue

The Company through its subsidiary, ApolloMed ACO, participates in the MSSP sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”). The MSSP allows ACO participants to share in cost savings it generates in connection with rendering medical services to Medicare patients. Payments to ACO participants, if any, will be calculated annually by CMS on cost savings generated by the ACO participant relative to the ACO participants trailing 24 month medical service history. The MSSP is a newly formed program with minimal history of payments to ACO participants. The Company considers revenue, if any, under the MSSP, as contingent upon the realization of program savings as determined by CMS, and are not considered earned and therefore are not recognized as revenue until notice from CMS that cash payments are to be imminently received.

During the second quarter of 2014, CMS announced that ApolloMed ACO generated $10.98 million in program savings from cost savings created in connection with rendering medical services to Medicare patients in 2012. In connection with these cost savings, the Company earned $5.38 million which has been reported in the line items “Net Revenue and “other receivable” in the September 30, 2014 condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue from the MSSP is determined and awarded annually, and the Company does not anticipate additional revenue in fiscal 2015. Future ACO program savings for services performed in calendar year 2013 and 2014 are not estimable.

Concentrations  

Excluding the MSSP related revenue, the Company had no major payors during the three months ended September 30, 2014 which contributed more than 10% of net revenues, and had three major payors during the three months ended September 30, 2013 which contributed 16.1%, 16.1% and 16.8% of net revenues, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, excluding the MSSP related revenue, the Company had no major payors which contributed more than 10% of net revenues and had three major payors during the six months ended September 30, 2013 which contributed 15.8%, 16.1% and 17.6% of net revenues, respectively.

The Company had one major payor that accounted for 12.5 % of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2014, and two major payors that accounted for 21.7% and 9.6% of accounts receivable, respectively, as of March 31, 2014.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The Company’s cash equivalents consist of bank demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the original purchase date.

The Company’s marketable securities consist of our holdings in equity securities and mutual funds. These are classified as available-for-sale, which are measured each reporting period at fair value, with any unrealized change in value reflected in other comprehensive income or loss, and realized gains or losses in the statement of operations in the accompany condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Other than temporary impairments are evaluated for securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position longer than one year.

The following is a summary of cash equivalents and marketable securities:

Medical Liabilities

The Company is responsible for integrated care that the associated physicians and contracted hospitals provide to its enrollees under risk-pool arrangements. The Company provides integrated care to health plan enrollees through a network of contracted providers under sub-capitation and direct patient service arrangements, company-operated clinics and staff physicians. Medical costs for professional and institutional services rendered by contracted providers are recorded as cost of services in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Costs for operating medical clinics, including the salaries of medical and non-medical personnel and support costs, are also recorded in cost of services.

An estimate of amounts due to contracted physicians, hospitals, and other professional providers is included in medical liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Medical liabilities include claims reported as of the balance sheet date and estimates of incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”). Such estimates are developed using actuarial methods and are based on many variables, including the utilization of health care services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, product mix, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors. The estimation methods and the resulting reserves are periodically reviewed and updated. Many of the medical contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of various services. Such differing interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed following the contract implementation. The Company has a $20,000 per member professional stop-loss, none on institutional risk pools. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in current operations.

The Company’s IBNR reserve for the six months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows:

The Company’s accrual for its risk-pool liability for the six months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows:

The Company’s total medical liability at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 was $1,642,497 and $552,561, respectively.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s accounting for Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are measured on a recurring basis. The carrying amount reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount for borrowings under the NNA Term Loan and the Convertible Notes approximates fair value which is determined by using interest rates that are available for similar debt obligations with similar terms at the balance sheet date.

Warrant liability

The fair value of the warrant liability issued in connection with 2014 NNA Financing at September 30, 2014 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model which used the following inputs: term of 6.5 years, risk free rate of 2.1%, no dividends, volatility of 72.2%, share price of $0.45 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock adjusted for a marketability discount, and a 100% probability of down-round financing. The fair value of the warrant liability at March 31, 2014 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model which used the following inputs: term of 7 years, risk free rate of 2.31%, no dividends, volatility of 71.4%, share price of $0.45 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock adjusted for a marketability discount, and a 50% probability of down-round financing. 

The fair value of the warrant liability of $487,620 related to 1,000,000 common shares issuable in connection with NNA 8% Convertible Note at issuance date of July 31, 2014 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model which used the following inputs: term of 6.7 years, risk free rate of 2.1%, no dividends, volatility of 71.8%, share price of $0.49 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock adjusted for a marketability discount, and a 100% probability of down-round financing.

Holdback liability 

The holdback liability (see Note 3) fair value was determined based on the probability adjusted cash consideration, discounted at the Company's cost of debt.

Conversion feature liability

The fair value of the conversion feature liability issued in connection with 2014 NNA Financing 8% Convertible Note at September 30, 2014 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model which used the following inputs: term of 4.5 years, risk free rate of 1.6%, no dividends, volatility of 55.4%, share price of $0.45 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock adjusted for a marketability discount, and a 100% probability that the Company will participate in a “down-round” financing at price per share lower than the initial NNA Financing 8% Convertible Note conversion price of $1.00 per share.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments are presented below as of:

The following summarizes the activity of Level 3 inputs measured on a recurring basis for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014:

The unrealized gain on changes in fair value of warrant and conversion feature liability is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. 

Non-controlling Interest

The non-controlling interest recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements represents the pre-acquisition equity of those PPC’s in which the Company has determined that it has a controlling financial interest and for which consolidation is required as a result of management contracts entered into with these entities. The nature of these contracts provide the Company with a monthly management fee to provide the services described above, and as such, the adjustments to non-controlling interests in any period subsequent to initial consolidation would relate to either capital contributions or distributions by the non-controlling parties as well as income or losses attributable to certain non-controlling interests.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during a certain period, and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, using the as-if converted method for secured convertible notes, and the treasury stock method for options and warrants.

The following table sets forth the number of shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements, Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The guidance in this ASU requires disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern even if an entity’s liquidation is not imminent. There may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting and this guidance should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. This guidance is effective for the Company on December 31, 2016 and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying March 31, 2014 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform them to the September 30, 2014 presentation.

3.  Acquisitions

SCHC

On July 22, 2014, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 21, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Southern California Heart Centers, a Medical Corporation, a medical group that provides professional medical services in Los Angeles County, California (“SCHC”), the shareholders of SCHC (the “Sellers”) and a Company affiliate, SCHC Acquisition, A Medical Corporation (the “Affiliate”), solely owned by Dr. Warren Hosseinion as physician shareholder and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Affiliate acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of SCHC from the Sellers. The purchase price for the shares was (i) $2,000,000 in cash, (ii) $428,391 to pay off and discharge certain indebtedness of SCHC (iii) warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and (iv) a contingent amount of up to $1,000,000 payable, if at all, in cash. The acquisition was funded by an intercompany loan from AMM, which also provided an indemnity in favor of one of the Sellers relating to certain indebtedness of SCHC that remained outstanding following the closing of the acquisition. Following the acquisition of SCHC, the Affiliate was merged with and into SCHC, with SCHC being the surviving corporation. The indebtedness of SCHC was paid off following the acquisition and did not remain outstanding as of September 30, 2014.

In connection with the acquisition of SCHC, AMM entered into a management services agreement with the Affiliate on July 21, 2014. As a result of the Affiliate’s merger with and into SCHC, SCHC is now the counterparty to this management services agreement and bound by its terms. Pursuant to the management services agreement, AMM will manage all non-medical services for SCHC, will have exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations of SCHC, and is the primary beneficiary of SCHC, and the financial statements of SCHC will be consolidated as a variable interest entity with those of the Company from July 21, 2014.

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the purchase date and be recorded on the balance sheet. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred was as follows:

The warrants were classified as equity. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following inputs: share price of $0.54 (adjusted for a lack of control discount), exercise price of $1.00, expected term of 4 years, volatility of 54% and a risk free interest rate of 1.35%.

A contingent payment obligation of $1,000,000 was considered a post-combination transaction and therefore it will be recorded as post-combination compensation expense over the term of the arrangement and not as purchase consideration. The compensation expense will be accrued in each reporting period using the total probability weighted payment of $827,000, allocated to each quarter, and between each Seller, pro rata over the term of the arrangement according to the relative weight of the payment milestones. The remaining liability will be re-measured at every reporting period date, with any adjustment reflected prospectively in compensation expense.

Transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred and were expensed as incurred. The related transaction costs expensed for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 were approximately $124,000 in each period and are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, with the remainder allocated to goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed and included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014 is as follows:

The intangible assets acquired consisted of the following:

The network relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method based on projected revenue and earnings over a 5 year period. The trade name was computed using the relief from royalty method, assuming a 1% royalty rate, and the non-compete agreements were valued using a with-and-without method.

See below for the combined SCHC and AKM pro forma results of operations.

AKM

In May 2014, AMM entered into a management services agreement with AKM Acquisition Corp, Inc. (“AKMA”), a newly-formed provider of physician services and an affiliate of the Company owned by Dr. Warren Hosseinion as a physician shareholder, to manage all non-medical services for AKMA. AMM has exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations of AKMA and is the primary beneficiary; consequently, AMM consolidated the revenue and expenses of AKMA from the date of execution of the management services agreements. On May 30, 2014 (the “Closing Date”) AKMA entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “AKM Purchase Agreement”) with the shareholders of AKM Medical Group, Inc.(“AKM”), a Los Angeles, CA-based independent practice association (“IPA”) . Immediately following the closing, AKMA merged with and into AKM, with AKM being the surviving entity and assuming the rights and obligations under the management services agreement. Under the AKM Purchase Agreement all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of AKM was acquired for approximately $280,000, of which $140,000 was paid at closing and $136,822 (the “Holdback Liability”) is payable subject to the outcome of incurred but not reported risk-pool claims and other contingent claims that existed at the acquisition date. The acquisition allows the Company to execute on its strategy to provide high-quality, cost-efficient healthcare delivery through integrated services and network offerings.

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the purchase date and be recorded on the balance sheet. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates.  The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred was as follows:

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to AKM’s net tangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired and included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet is as follows:

Before recognizing a gain from a bargain purchase, the Company is required to reassess its identification of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to validate that all assets and liabilities that the acquirer is able to identify at the acquisition date are properly recognized. The guidance in ASC 805 requires that this additional reassessment be performed to verify that the identification and measurement of all components of the business combination were consistent with the requirements of ASC 805. Accordingly, as the purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to reassessment, the Company will classify the goodwill bargain purchase as a contra to goodwill until it has completed its review of the procedures used to measure the included amounts, which is expected to be during the quarter ending December 31, 2014.      

Under the AKM Purchase Agreement, former shareholders of AKM are entitled to be paid the Holdback Amount of up to approximately $140,000 within 6 months of the Closing Date. No later than 30 days after the six month period, AKM will prepare a closing statement which will state the actual cash position (as defined) (“Actual Cash Position”) of AKM. If the actual cash position of AKM is less than $461,104 (the “Target Amount”), the former shareholders of AKM will pay the difference between the Target Amount and the Actual Cash Position, which will be deducted from the Holdback Amount, but in no case will exceed the amount previously paid to the former shareholders of AKM in connection with the transaction. If the Actual Cash Position exceeds the Target Amount, then that difference will be added to the Holdback Amount. Any indemnification payment made by the former shareholders of AKM will also be paid from the Holdback Amount; if the Holdback Amount is insufficient, the former shareholders of AKM are liable for paying the balance, which cannot exceed amounts previously paid to the former shareholders of AKM under the AKM Purchase Agreement. The Company determined the preliminary fair value was determined based on the cash consideration discounted at the Company's cost of debt.

Transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred and were expensed as incurred. The related transaction costs expensed for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 were approximately $0 and $37,000, respectively.

The medical clinic acquisition promissory notes described above were repaid in connection with the equity and debt financing with NNA of Nevada, Inc. that closed on March 28, 2014 (see 2014 NNA Financing below).

NNA Credit Agreements

On October 15, 2013, the Company entered into a $2.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with NNA of Nevada, Inc., (“the Lender” or “NNA”).  On December 20, 2013 the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which increased the revolving credit facility from $2 million to $4 million.   The proceeds of the Amended Credit Agreement were used by the Company to repay the $500,000 Note to SpaGus Apollo, LLC, and were used to pay or repay certain of the Company’s 10% Notes (see Note 7), to refinance certain other indebtedness of the Company, and for working capital and for general corporate purposes. The Amended Credit Agreement was refinanced on March 28, 2014 in connection with 2014 NNA Financing.

2014 NNA Financing

On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into certain credit and investment agreements with NNA (the “2014 NNA Financing”) which provided for a $7.0 million secured term loan (“Term Loan”), a $1.0 million secured line of credit (“Revolving Loan”), and a $2.0 million convertible note commitment (“Convertible Note”). In addition, NNA acquired 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock, and certain registration rights (see Note 9). The Term Loan and Revolving Loan are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, and are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and certain of its consolidated medical corporations.

The Company determined the fair value of the proceeds of $9.0 million in part based on the following inputs for the warrant liability: term of 7 years, risk free rate of 2.31%, no dividends, volatility of 71.4%, share price of $0.45 per share and a 50% probability of down-round financing. The common stock issuance was recorded at $899,739 (a discount of $1,100,261 to the face amount), the Term Loan was recorded at $5,745,637 (a discount of $1,254,363 to the face amount), and a corresponding warrant liability of $2,354,624 was recorded.

The Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. A portion of the principal amount of the Term Loan is repaid on the last business day of each calendar quarter, which provides for quarterly payments of $87,500 in the first year, $122,500 in the second year, $122,500 in the third year, $175,000 in the fourth year, and $210,000 in the fifth year. The Term Loan reflected an original issue discount of $1,305,435 associated with the issuance of 3 million warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock (see Note 9) and payment of a fee to NNA of $80,000 of which $51,072 was considered a debt discount, $7,998 was recorded to equity, and $20,930 allocated to warrant liability was immediately recorded as interest expense. The discount will be amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the loan using the effective interest method.

The Revolving Loan will bear interest at the rate of three month LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum. No amounts were borrowed under the Revolving Loan at September 30, 2014. The Term Loan and Revolving Loan mature on March 28, 2019.

The NNA 8% Convertible Note commitment provided for a convertible note commitment of $2,000,000, which, on July 31, 2014, the Company fully exercised (see Note 7).

The Company incurred $235,119 in third party costs related to the 2014 NNA Financing, which were allocated to the related debt and equity instruments based on their relative fair values, of which $150,101 was classified as deferred financing costs which will be deferred and amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

The 2014 NNA Financing credit agreement and the Convertible Note provide for certain financial covenants which financial covenants the Company was in compliance with as of and for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014.

In addition, the 2014 NNA Financing credit agreement and the Convertible Note include: (1) certain negative covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to, among other things incur additional indebtedness, engage in future mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sell assets, pay dividends and distributions on or repurchase capital stock, and enter into or amend other material agreements; and (2) certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, which are set forth in more detail in the 2014 NNA Financing credit agreement and Convertible Note.

Unsecured revolving line of credit

Included in “Note and line of credit payable” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet is a $100,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution of which $94,764 was outstanding at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the prime rate (as defined) plus 4.50% (7.75% per annum at March 31, 2014 and September30, 2014), interest only is payable monthly, and the line of credit matures June 5, 2015. The line of credit is unsecured.

Interest expense associated with the notes and lines of credit payable consisted of the following:

7.  Convertible Notes Payable

Convertible notes payable consist of the following:

10% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Notes

On October 16, 2009, the Company issued $1,250,000 of 10% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Notes (the “10% Notes”). The 10% Notes were sold through a placement agent in the form of Units. Each Unit comprised one 10% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Note with a par value $25,000, and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

On December 20, 2013, the Company redeemed the 10% Notes for cash and/or conversion into shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes due February 1, 2015

On or about February 21, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (collectively, the “Settlement Agreements”) with each of the holders of 8% Notes (each, an “8% Holder” and, collectively, the “8% Holders”). Under the Settlement Agreements, the Company agreed to redeem for cash and/or convert into shares of the Company’s common stock the 8% Notes of the 8% Holders. In February 2014 the Company redeemed and converted $150,000 in original principal amount plus accrued interest thereon, for total cash payments of approximately $106,000 and issuance of approximately182,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

9% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Promissory Notes due February 15, 2016

The 9% Notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable semi-annually on August 15 and February 15, and mature February 15, 2016, and are subordinated. The principal of the 9% Notes plus any accrued yet unpaid interest is convertible at any time by the holder at a conversion price of $0.40 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and reverse stock splits. After 60 days prior notice, the Note is callable in full or in part by the Company at any time after January 31, 2015. If the Average Daily Value of Trades (“ADVT”) during the prior 90 days as reported by Bloomberg is greater than $100,000, the Note is callable at a price of 105% of the Note’s par value, and if the ADVT is less than $100,000, the 9% Notes are callable at a price of 110% of the Note’s par value.

In connection with the issuance of the 9% Notes, the holders of the 9% Notes received warrants to purchase 660,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits and stock dividends, and which are exercisable at any date prior to January 31, 2018, and were classified in equity. The fair value of the 9% Notes warrants was based on the Company’s closing stock price at the transaction date and inputs to the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

NNA 8% Convertible Note

The NNA 8% Convertible Note commitment provided for the Company to borrow up to $2,000,000. On July 31, 2014, the Company exercised its option to borrow $2,000,000, received $2,000,000 of proceeds and recorded a debt discount of $1,065,775 related to the fair value of a conversion feature liability and warrant liability discussed below. Borrowings bear interest at the rate of 8.0 % per annum payable semi-annually, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock initially at $1.00 per share. The conversion price will be subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent down-round equity financings, if any, by the Company. The conversion feature included a non-standard anti-dilution feature that has been bifurcated and recorded as a conversion feature liability at the issuance date of $578,155. The fair value of the conversion feature liability issued in connection with 2014 NNA Financing 8% Convertible Note at July 31, 2014 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model which used the following inputs: term of 4.7 years, risk free rate of 1.6%, no dividends, volatility of 54.8%, share price of $0.49 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock adjusted for a marketability discount, and a 100% probability of down-round financing. In addition the Company was required to issue 1,000,000 warrants to NNA with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The fair value of the warrant liability of $487,620 related to 1,000,000 common shares issuable in connection with NNA 8% Convertible Note at issuance date of July 31, 2014 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model which used the following inputs: term of 6.7 years, risk free rate of 2.1%, no dividends, volatility of 71.8%, share price of $0.49 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock adjusted for a marketability discount, and a 100% probability of down-round financing.

Interest expense associated with the convertible notes payable consisted of the following:

8. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes and the recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Such determination is based primarily on the Company’s historical taxable income, with some consideration given to the Company’s estimates of future taxable income by jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the period over which the Company’s deferred tax assets will be recoverable. Due to overall cumulative losses incurred in recent years, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions.

ASC No. 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC No. 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC No. 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2010 and later. The Company’s state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and later. The Company does not anticipate any material unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock Placement

On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into an equity and debt investment for up to $12.0 million with NNA. As part of the investment, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with NNA, dated March 28, 2014 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company sold NNA 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchased Shares”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. In addition with the issuance of common shares, the Company issued to NNA 1,000,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock for $1.00 per share. The Company used the Monte Carlo Method to value the warrants, which used the following inputs: term of 7 years, risk free rate of 2.31%, no dividends, volatility of 71.4%, share price of $0.45 per share and a 50% probability of down-round financing. The Company determined that the fair value of the shares issued was approximately $900,000, or approximately $0.45 per share. The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (“RRA”) with NNA which requires the Company to file a registration statement to register its shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than March 28, 2015. The RRA requires the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the RRA to be declared effective by the SEC. If the Initial Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the filing deadline the Company must pay to NNA an amount in Common Stock based upon its then fair market value, as liquidated damages equal to 1.50% of the aggregate purchase price paid by NNA.

Equity Incentive Plans  

The Company’s amended 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) allowed the Board to grant up to 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and provided for awards including incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted common stock, and stock appreciation rights. As of September 30, 2014, there were no shares available for grant.

On April 29, 2013 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), pursuant to which 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. The Company received approval of the 2013 Plan from the Company’s stockholders on May 19, 2013. The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises under the 2013 Plan. As of September 30, 2014 there were approximately 1,900,000 shares available for future grants under the 2013 Plan.

Stock options and restricted common stock issued to non-employees as compensation for services to be provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair value of the option or share, whichever can be more clearly determined. The Company recognizes this expense over the period in which the services are provided.   

Share Issuances   

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock sold to employees, directors and consultants with a right of repurchase of unlapsed or unvested shares is as follows for the six months ended September 30, 2014:

The warrants also contained down-round protection under which the exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues future common shares at a price below $0.90 per share. The Company determined that the warrants should be classified as liabilities under ASC 815-40, which requires the Company to determine the fair value of the warrants at the transaction date and at each subsequent reporting date (see Notes 2 and 6). Following the funding of the Convertible Note on July 30, 2014, additional warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share that had been issued in connection with the 2014 NNA Financing became exercisable (see Note 6).

The amount of shares of common stock reserved for these purposes is as follows at September 30, 2014: 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Regulatory Matters

Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Legal

On May 16, 2014, Lakeside Medical Group, Inc. and Regal Medical Group, Inc., two independent physician associations who compete with the Company in the greater Los Angeles area, filed an action against the Company and two affiliates of the Company, Maverick Medical Group, Inc. and ApolloMed Hospitalists, a Medical Corporation, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The complaint alleged that the Company and its two affiliates made misrepresentations and engaged in other acts in order to improperly solicit physicians and patient-enrollees from Plaintiffs. The Complaint sought compensatory and punitive damages. On June 30, 2014, the Company and its affiliates filed a motion requesting the Court to stay the court proceeding and order the parties to arbitrate this dispute subject to existing arbitration agreements. On August 11, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the action. On August 12, 2014, the Plaintiffs served the Company and its affiliates with Demands for Arbitration before Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services in Los Angeles. The Company is currently examining the merits of the claims to be arbitrated, and it is too early to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the potential loss if the outcome should be negative. The Company is aware that punitive damages previously sought in the court proceeding are not available in arbitration. The Company and its affiliates are preparing a defense to the allegations and the Company intends to vigorously defend the action.

On August 28, 2014, Lakeside Medical Group, Inc. and Regal Medical Group, Inc., filed a similar lawsuit against Warren Hosseinion, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Dr. Hosseinion is defending the action and is currently being indemnified by the Company subject to the terms of an indemnification agreement and the Company’s charter. On September 9, 2014, Dr. Hosseinion filed a motion requesting the Court to stay the court proceeding and, pursuant to existing arbitration agreements, order the parties to arbitrate the dispute as part of the pending arbitration proceedings before JAMS (as discussed above). On October 29, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the action. Plaintiffs have informed the Company that Plaintiffs will be serving Dr. Hosseinion with Demands for Arbitration before Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services in Los Angeles. Dr. Hosseinion and the Company will seek to consolidate the proceedings against Dr. Hosseinion with the existing proceedings against the Company and its affiliates. The Company is currently examining the merits of the claims to be arbitrated, and it is too early to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the potential loss if the outcome should be negative. The Company is aware that punitive damages previously sought in the court proceeding are not available in arbitration.

In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company becomes involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by the Company’s affiliated hospitalists. The Company may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve significant claims and/or significant defense costs. The Company believes, based upon the Company’s review of pending actions and proceedings, that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period

Liability Insurance

The Company believes that the Company’s insurance coverage is appropriate based upon the Company’s claims experience and the nature and risks of the Company’s business. In addition to the known incidents that have resulted in the assertion of claims, the Company cannot be certain that the Company’s insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against the Company, the Company’s affiliated professional organizations or the Company’s affiliated hospitalists in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all pending claims, including liabilities in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance that future claims will not have such a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Although the Company currently maintains liability insurance policies on a claims-made basis, which are intended to cover malpractice liability and certain other claims, the coverage must be renewed annually, and may not continue to be available to the Company in future years at acceptable costs, and on favorable terms.

11. Subsequent Events

Lease Agreement

The Company had a lease with EOP-700 North Brand, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”),

for 3,111 rentable square feet at 700 North Brand Boulevard, Suite No. 220, Glendale, California that commenced

on December 16, 2011, and was set to expire on January 14, 2014. The lease was amended by a Commencement

Letter dated February 6, 2012 and First Amendment dated November 8, 2012.

On October 14, 2014, the lease was amended by a Second Amendment. The Second Amendment relocates the leased premises from Suite No. 220 to Suite Nos. 1400, 1425 and 1450, which collectively include 16,484 rentable square feet (the “New Premises”). The New Premises will be improved with an allowance of up to $659,360, provided by the Landlord, for construction and installation of equipment for the New Premises. Before the improved New Premises are available, the Company shall also use Suite No. 240 on a temporary basis. The Second Amendment also extends the term of the lease to be for approximately six years after the Company begins operations in the New Premises and increases the Company’s initial security deposit. The Second Amendment sets the New Premises base rent at $37,913.20 per month for the first year and schedules annual increases in base rent each year until the final rental year, which is capped at $43,957.33 per month. However, the base rent will be abated by up to $228,049.27 subject to other terms of the lease.

Overview

ApolloMed is a patient-centered, physician-centric, integrated healthcare delivery system nearly 15 years of experience providing coordinated, outcomes-based medical care in a cost-effective manner. ApolloMed’s businesses operate primarily under risk and value-based contracts with health plans, independent practice associations (“IPAs”), hospitals and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) Medicare Shared Savings Program and serve Medicare, Medicaid, HMO and uninsured patients in California, Mississippi and Ohio. ApolloMed provides care coordination services to each major constituent of the healthcare delivery system, including patients, families, primary care physicians, specialists, acute care hospitals, alternative sites of inpatient care, physician groups and health plans. All of these constituents can benefit from better coordinated care and population health management. As an efficient operator of integrated healthcare delivery networks, ApolloMed is favorably positioned to benefit from current industry trends.

The predecessor business to ApolloMed was a hospitalist company incorporated in California in June 2001,

and which began operations at Glendale Memorial Hospital. Through a reverse merger, ApolloMed became a publicly held company in June 2008. The Company was initially organized around the admission and care of patients at inpatient facilities such as hospitals. ApolloMed has successfully grown its inpatient strategy in a competitive market by providing high-quality care and innovative solutions for our hospital and managed care clients by focusing. ApolloMed focuses on improving the inefficiencies associated with inpatient care, reducing readmissions and improving outcomes through better care coordination. As of November 1, 2014, ApolloMed provided inpatient services at over 28 hospitals and long-term acute care facilities in Los Angeles and Central California where it has contracted with over 50 hospitals, IPAs and health plans to provide a range of inpatient services including hospitalist, intensivist, physician advisor and consulting services.

In 2011, the Company formed an Accountable Care Organization (“ACO”), ApolloMed Accountable Care Organization, Inc. (“ApolloMed ACO”), to participate in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”). The program allows certain providers and suppliers (including hospitals, physicians and other designated professionals) to voluntarily form ACOs and work together with other ACO participants to invest in infrastructure and redesign delivery processes to achieve high quality and efficient delivery of medical services for Medicare Fee-For-Service (“FFS”) patients. ApolloMed ACO was approved by CMS to participate in the MSSP in July, 2012 and started with 130 physicians and 9000 beneficiaries. As of November 1, 2014, our ACO had over 700 physicians and nearly 30,000 Medicare FFS beneficiaries. ApolloMed ACO leverages the inpatient and outpatient medical management capabilities of ApolloMed’s core company.

In 2013, ApolloMed formed Maverick Medical Group, Inc. (“MMG”), a risk-bearing entity that participates in the Medicare Advantage, HMO-Medicaid, Commercial and Dual-Eligible segments. Many health plans subcontract a significant portion of the responsibility for managing patient care to integrated healthcare systems such as ApolloMed. These integrated healthcare systems, whether medical groups or IPAs, offer a comprehensive medical delivery system and sophisticated care management know-how and infrastructure to more efficiently provide for the healthcare needs of the population enrolled with that health plan. Maverick Medical Group is responsible for paying the provider component of fees (which includes Primary Care Physicians and Specialists). For certain health plans, Maverick also has risk-sharing agreements with hospitals that entitle us to receive a percentage of the institutional savings. Under these agreements, Maverick also agrees to be responsible should the institutional expenses exceed the institutional capitation revenue. As of November 1, 2014, Maverick had nearly 1000 Medicare Advantage and dual-eligible enrollees and nearly 7000 Commercial and Medicaid HMO patients. In 2014, ApolloMed acquired AKM Medical Group, a Los Angeles-based IPA founded in 1990 that is a similar business to MMG, and serves over 2000 patients

In 2014, ApolloMed launched ApolloMed Care Clinics, which currently consist of acquired primary care and specialty clinics. ApolloMed’s clinics focus on the coordinated, efficient delivery of ambulatory treatment and ancillary services, with an increasing emphasis on preventive care and management of chronic conditions. 

ApolloMed’s clinics have served their communities for a combined total of over 30 years and handle over 20,000 patient visits per year.

On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into certain credit and investment agreements with NNA of Nevada, Inc. (the “NNA”) which provided for a $7.0 million secured term loan, a $1.0 million secured line of credit, and a $2.0 million convertible note commitment. In addition, NNA acquired 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock, and certain registration rights. The term loan and revolving loan are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, and are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and certain of its consolidated medical corporations.

On October 27, 2014, ApolloMed completed the acquisitions of Best Choice Hospice Care LLC and Holistic Health Home Health Care Inc., and launched Apollo Palliative Care Services, which will be a provider of hospice, palliative and home health services for each company’s own patients as well as other customers.

As of November 1, 2014, the ApolloMed physician network consists of over 900 hospitalists, primary care physicians and specialist physicians through our owned and affiliated physician groups.

The Second Amendment sets the New Premises base rent at $37,913.20 per month for the first year and schedules annual increases in base rent each year until the final rental year, which is capped at $43,957.33 per month. However, the base rent will be abated by up to $228,049.27 subject to other terms of the lease.
