1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Assure Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Assure”), through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Assure Neuromonitoring, LLC (“Neuromonitoring”) and Assure Networks, LLC (“Networks”), provides outsourced intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (“IONM”) and is an emerging provider of remote neurology services. The Company delivers a turnkey suite of clinical and operational services to support surgeons and medical facilities during invasive procedures including spine, neurosurgery, ear, nose, and throat, cardiovascular and orthopedic. Accredited by The Joint Commission, Assure’s mission is to provide exceptional surgical care and a positive patient experience.

IONM identifies real-time changes in spinal cord, brain, and peripheral nerve functions during high-risk surgeries to prevent injuries or accidental damage to patients that could lead to strokes, heart attacks, paralysis or other serious medical issues. IONM is well established and is regarded as the standard of care in U.S healthcare.

Assure employs highly trained IONM technologists, who provide a direct point of contact in the operating room to relay critical information to the surgical team while Company physicians deliver remote neurology services in support of the surgical team. In addition, Assure offers surgeons and medical facilities a value-added platform that manages patient scheduling, billing and collections, physician relationship management and patient advocacy services. The high quality IONM support that Assure provides results in decreased hospital and surgeon liability, abbreviated patient stays, fewer readmissions, reduced hospital costs, enhanced overall patient satisfaction and the efficient achievement of better clinical outcomes.

The Company maintains operations in twelve U.S. states. Assure believes that continued geographic expansion initiatives, facility-wide outsourcing agreements with medical facilities, the acceleration of its remote neurology services platform, and selective acquisitions will combine to generate substantial growth opportunities going forward.

The Company was originally incorporated in Colorado on November 7, 2016. In conjunction with a reverse merger with Montreux Capital Corp., a British Columbia corporation, the Company was redomesticated from British Columbia to Nevada on May 16, 2017.

Neuromonitoring was formed on August 25, 2015 in Colorado and it currently has multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s services are sold in the United States, directly through the Company.

Networks was formed on November 7, 2016 in Colorado and holds varying ownerships interests in numerous Provider Network Entities (“PEs”), which are professional IONM entities. These entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Networks also manages other PEs that Networks does not have an ownership interest and charges those PEs a management fee which is accounted for as service revenue.

The Company operates in the United States in one segment.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

increased fuel costs, U.S. restrictions on trade, and transitory inflation have impacted and may continue to impact the financial conditions of our customers and the patients they serve.

In addition, actions by United States federal, state and foreign governments to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, also had and may continue to have a significant adverse effect on the markets in which we conduct our businesses. COVID-19 poses the risk that our workforce, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting normal business activities for an extended period of time, including due to shutdowns or stay-at-home orders that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. We have implemented policies to allow our employees to work remotely as a result of the pandemic as we reviewed processes related to workplace safety, including social distancing and sanitation practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The COVID-19 pandemic could also cause delays in acquiring new customers and executing renewals and could also impact our business as consumer behavior changes in response to the pandemic.

Since the start of the second quarter of 2021, there has been increased availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel, and government activities and functions, including healthcare and elective surgeries, and we have experienced a gradual resumption of economic activities in our industries. On the other hand, infection rates continue to fluctuate in various regions and new strains of the virus, including the Delta variant, remain a risk, which may give rise to implementation of restrictions in the geographic areas that we serve. In addition, there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including disruption of the supply chains, product shortages, increased delivery costs, increased governmental regulation, strains on healthcare systems, and delays in shipments, product development, technology launches and facility access.

We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, including legislation to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which was enacted in March 2020, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 which was enacted in March 2021. Although a significant portion of our anticipated revenue for 2021 is derived from fixed-fee and minimum-guarantee arrangements, primarily from large, well-capitalized customers which we believe somewhat mitigates the risks to our business, our per-unit and variable-fee based revenue will continue to be susceptible to the volatility, supply chain disruptions, microchip shortages and potential market downturns induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The full extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic; the availability, distribution and effectiveness of vaccines; the spread of new variants of COVID-19; the continued and renewed imposition of protective public safety measures; the impact of COVID-19 on integration of acquisitions, expansion plans, implementation of telemedicine, restrictions on elective procedures, delays in payor remittance and increased regulations; and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for consumer products. Although we are unable to predict the full impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we are actively managing our financial expenditures in response to continued uncertainty. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of the Form 10-K.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and majority-owned entities.

For entities in which management has determined the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but has varying degrees of influence regarding operating policies of that entity, the Company’s investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies or recent accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed on March 30, 2021.

Common Stock Reverse Split

During September 2021, the Company effectuated a five-for-one reverse stock split. All share, stock option and warrant information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. See Note 5 for additional discussion.

3. LEASES

Under ASC 842, Leases, a contract is a lease, or contains a lease, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To determine whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, an entity shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the entity has both of the following: (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset; and (b) the right to direct the use of the identified asset. The Company does not assume renewals in the determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably assured at lease commencement. Lease agreements generally do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a practical expedient, the Company elected not to separate non-lease components for the corporate office facility (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) from lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and instead to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

Operating leases

The Company leases corporate office facilities under two operating sub-leases which expired June 30, 2021. The Company is negotiating lease renewal terms and is currently under a month-to-month lease arrangement.

Finance leases

The Company leases medical equipment under various financing leases with stated interest rates ranging from 6.5% — 12.2% per annum which expire at various dates through 2026.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following amounts for right of use (“ROU”) assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (stated in thousands):

4. DEBT

Paycheck Protection Program

During March 2021, the Company received an unsecured loan under the United States Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in the amount of $1.7 million. Assure executed a PPP promissory note, which matures on February 25, 2026. The PPP Loan carries an interest rate of 1.0% per annum, with principal and interest payments due on the first day of each month, with payments commencing on the earlier of: (i) the day the amount of loan forgiveness granted to Assure is remitted by the Small Business Administration to the Bank of Oklahoma; or (ii) 10 months after the end of the 24-week period following the grant of the Loan. All or a portion of the Loan may be forgiven if the Company maintains its employment and compensation within certain parameters during the 24-week period following the loan origination date and the proceeds of the Loan are spent on payroll costs, rent or lease agreements dated before February 15, 2020 and utility payments arising under service agreements dated before February 15, 2020. The Company intends to submit its application for forgiveness of the PPP promissory note during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Debenture

On June 10, 2021, the Company entered into definitive agreements to secure a credit facility under the terms of a commitment letter dated March 8, 2021 (the “Commitment Letter”) with Centurion Financial Trust, an investment trust formed by Centurion Asset Management Inc. (“Centurion”). Under the terms of the Commitment Letter, Assure issued a debenture to Centurion, dated June 9, 2021 (the “Debenture”), with a maturity date of June 9, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), in the principal amount of $11 million related to a credit facility comprised of a $6 million senior term loan (the “Senior Term Loan”), a $2 million senior revolving loan (the “Senior Revolving Loan”) and a $3 million senior term acquisition line (the “Senior Term Acquisition Line” and together with the Senior Term Loan and the Senior Revolving Loan, the “Credit Facility”). The Senior Term Acquisition Line will be made available to the Company to fund future acquisitions, subject to certain conditions and approvals of Centurion. The Credit Facility matures in June 2025.

The principal amount of the Debenture drawn and outstanding from time to time shall bear interest both before and after maturity, default and judgment from the date hereof to the date of repayment in full at the rate of the greater of 9.50% or the Royal Bank of Canada Prime Rate plus 7.05% per annum calculated and compounded monthly in arrears and payable on the first business day of each month during which any obligations are outstanding, the first of such payments being due July 2, 2021 for the period from the Advance to the date of payment, and thereafter monthly. The difference between the commitment and the amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time shall bear a standby charge, for the period between June 2021 and the end of the availability period, in the amount of 1.50% per annum calculated and compounded monthly in arrears and payable on the first business day of each month during which any amount of the commitment remains available and undrawn, the first of such payments being due July 2, 2021. Interest on overdue interest shall be calculated and payable at the same rate plus 3% per annum.

With respect to the Senior Revolving Loan, Assure may prepay advances outstanding thereunder from time to time, with not less than 10 business days prior written notice of the prepayment date and the amount, in the minimum amount of $250 thousand. Any amount of the Senior Revolving Loan prepaid may be re-advanced. With respect to the Senior Term Loan and Senior Term Acquisition Line, Assure may prepay the advances outstanding thereunder, without penalty or bonus, in an amount not to exceed 25% of the aggregate of all Advances then outstanding under the Term Loans, on each anniversary date of the first advance made hereunder, provided in each case with not less than 30 days written notice of the Company's intention to prepay on such anniversary date and the proposed prepayment amount. Any prepayments to the Term Loans other than those permitted in the immediately preceding sentence may only be made on 30 days prior written notice of the prepayment date and the amount, and are subject to the Company paying on such prepayment date a prepayment charge equal to the lesser of (i) twelve (12) months interest and (ii) interest for the months remaining from the prepayment date to the Maturity Date, on the amount prepaid at the interest rate in effect on the applicable Term Loan as of the date of prepayment. Any amount of the Term Loan prepaid may not be re-advanced.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the subsidiaries under the terms of the guarantee and secured by a first ranking security interest in all of the present and future assets of Assure and the Subsidiaries under the terms of the security agreement.

Assure paid Centurion on first Advance of the Loan a commitment fee of 2.25%, being $248 thousand, made by withholding from the first advance.

A portion of the proceeds from the Debenture were utilized to repay the Central Bank line of credit and the Central Bank promissory note.

Warrant Fee

In addition, Assure issued Centurion an aggregate of 275,000 non-transferrable common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles Centurion to acquire one share in the capital of Assure, at an exercise price equal to US$7.55 (representing the closing price of Assure’s shares of common stock as of the close of business on June 9, 2021 and multiplied by the Bank of Canada’s daily exchange rate on June 9, 2021) for a term of 48 months. The warrants and underlying shares of common stock are subject to applicable hold periods under U.S. securities laws.

5. SHARE CAPITAL

Common stock

Common stock: 180,000,000 authorized; $0.001 par value. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 11,839,304 and 11,275,788 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Reverse Share Split

During September 2021, the total number of shares of common stock authorized by the Company was reduced from 900,000,000 shares of common stock, par $0.001, to 180,000,000 shares of common stock, par $0.001, and the number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder of the Company were consolidated automatically into the number of shares of common stock equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by each such stockholder immediately prior to the reverse split divided by five (5): effecting a five (5) old for one (1) new reverse stock split.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split and all fractional shares were rounded up to the next whole share.

Additionally, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split were adjusted by dividing the number of shares of common stock into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by five (5) and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by five (5), all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share.

All shares of common stock, options, warrants and other convertible securities and the corresponding price per share amounts have been presented to reflect the reverse split in all periods presented within this Form 10-Q.

Acquisition shares

In connection with the acquisition of the Sentry Neuromonitoring, LLC (the “Seller”) assets, we issued to Seller or the Principals, as elected by Seller, shares of common stock of the Company with a value of $1,625,000, determined on the effective date, as quoted on the TSX Venture Exchange (237,226 shares of common stock).

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of options. The fair value of each option grant is determined on the date of grant and the expense is recorded on a straight-line basis and is included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The assumptions used in the model include expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and forfeiture rate. The Company’s determination of these assumptions are outlined below.

Expected life — The expected life assumption is based on an analysis of the Company’s historical employee exercise patterns.

Volatility — Volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for a term consistent with the expected life.

Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for issues with remaining terms similar to the expected life of the options.

Dividend yield — Expected dividend yield is calculated based on cash dividends declared by the Board for the previous four quarters and dividing that result by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the quarter. The Company has not declared a dividend to date.

Forfeiture rate — The Company does not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of the grant due to the limited number of historical forfeitures. As a result, the forfeitures are recorded at the time the grant is forfeited.

The following assumptions were used to value the awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Expected life (in years)	5.0		5.0
Risk-free interest rate	0.4	%	3.0	%

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $210 thousand and $88 thousand, respectively, and $818 thousand and $456 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, there was approximately $925 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to 378,092 unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.2 years.

Warrants

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 3,940,006 and 3,665,006 warrants outstanding, respectively.

6. LOSS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and fully diluted loss per share for the three and months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (stated in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net income (loss)	$	91	$	(977)	$	(2,447)	$	(14,711)
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		11,838,032		6,988,058		11,528,371		6,968,728
Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants		3,886,071		—		—		—
Dilutive weighted average common stock outstanding		15,724,103		6,988,058		11,528,371		6,968,728
Diluted income (loss) per share	$	0.01	$	(0.14)	$	(0.21)	$	(2.11)

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the treasury stock method to calculate the weighted average number of shares of common stock and, if dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive shares of common stock include incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, less shares from assumed

proceeds. The assumed proceeds calculation includes actual proceeds to be received from the employee upon exercise and the average unrecognized stock compensation cost during the period.

Stock options, exercisable, to purchase 227,893 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 462,068 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2021 that were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common stock outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

7. ACQUISITION

Effective on April 30, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Assure Networks Texas Holdings II, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Assure Holdings (the “Purchaser”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sentry Neuromonitoring, LLC (the “Seller”), and certain owners (collectively “Principals”).

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Assure Texas Holdings agreed to purchase certain assets (“Acquired Assets”) related to the Seller’s interoperative neuromonitoring business (the “Business”) and assumed certain liabilities of the Seller. The Acquired Assets included, among other items, all assets used in the Business, certain tangible personal property, inventory, Seller’s records related to the Business, deposits and prepaid expenses, certain contracts related to the Business, licenses, intellectual property, goodwill and accounts receivables. The purchase qualified as a business combination for accounting purposes.

The purchase price for the assets consisted of cash and stock, payable as follows:

Cash Payment

Cash consideration of $1,125,000 in installment payments, payable (a) $153,125 at closing, (b) $153,125 within 30 days of Closing Date and (c) $818,750, together with interest at the applicable federal rate, shall be paid in cash in thirty-six equal monthly installments, with the first installment being due on or before the first business day of the first month following the sixtieth day from the Closing Date and the remaining installments being due on the first business day of each month thereafter.

Stock Payment

The Company issued 237,226 shares of common stock issued to the Seller or the Principals, as elected by Seller, with a value of $1,625,000, determined on the Closing Date, as quoted on the TSX Venture Exchange, on or about the Closing Date and 94,891 shares of common stock were placed in escrow with a value of $650,000 and are being held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to terms set forth in an escrow agreement to be mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Seller. The common stock is subject to regulatory restrictions and requirements and a 12 month lock up from the date of delivery, in addition to any additional lock up period imposed on the common stock under applicable law and/or regulation,

Reimbursements

Reimbursement to Seller for operational capital injected by Seller or its Principals since December 31, 2020, for verifiable and reasonable expenses, consistent with past business practices up to a cap of $50 thousand.

Receivable Bonus

Purchaser agreed to pay Seller or the Principals, as elected by Seller, a bonus in an amount equal to $250,000 (“Receivable Bonus”) upon collecting $3,000,001 in accounts receivable acquired by Purchaser for accounts receivable that was generated by Seller prior to the Closing. The Receivable Bonus, if earned, will be paid to Seller or the Principals, as elected by Seller, in three payments: (i) the first payment being in the amount of $100 thousand, payable on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date the Receivable Bonus is earned, (ii) the second payment being in the amount of $100 thousand, payable on the sixtieth (60th) day following the date the

(unaudited)

Receivable Bonus is earned, and (iii) the third payment in the amount of $50 thousand, payable on the ninetieth (90th) day following the date the Receivable Bonus is earned.

Founders’ Bonus

The Registrant agreed to pay a $50 thousand bonus (“Founders’ Bonus”) payment to certain owners in installments: (i) $25 thousand at Closing and (ii) $25 thousand within twelve (12) months of Closing. The Founders’ Bonus is additional consideration, which is independent, separate and apart from other consideration to be paid by Purchaser.

Under the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser agreed to enter into employment agreements with certain key personnel of Seller, as determined by Purchaser. The employment agreements, in standard form of employment agreement of Purchaser, include: (i) a minimum annual base salary of $175 thousand with full benefits and (ii) up to $50 thousand in annual variable compensation bonus to be memorialized in a mutually agreeable form of agreement that details the scope of services and compensation.

The initial accounting for the acquisition of Sentry is incomplete as we, with the support of our valuation specialist, are in the process of finalizing the fair market value calculations of the acquired net assets. In addition, the Company is in the process of reviewing the applicable future cash flows used in determining the purchase accounting. As a result, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements related to the Sentry acquisition are preliminary and the measurement period remains open. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):


Purchase price consideration:
Cash	$	1,125
Common stock, at fair value		2,275
Total consideration	$	3,400

Assets acquired:
Cash	$	51
Accounts receivable		2,000
Right of use assets		131
Total assets acquired		2,182

Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		242

Total liabilities assumed		373

Preliminary Goodwill	$	1,591

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnifications

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it may be obligated to indemnify third parties with respect to certain matters. These obligations include, but are not limited to, contracts entered into with physicians where the Company agrees, under certain circumstances, to indemnify a third party, against losses arising from matters including but not limited

(unaudited)

to medical malpractice and other liability. The impact of any such future claims, if made, on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to final outcome of these potential claims.

As permitted under Nevada law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company believes, given the absence of any such payments in the Company’s history, and the estimated low probability of such payments in the future, that the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is immaterial. In addition, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable the Company to recover any payments, should they occur.

Performance share compensation

As part of a reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”) during 2016, the Company entered into a one-time stock grant agreement with two executives which defines a bonus share threshold as follows: should the Company meet or exceed a 2017 fiscal year EBITDA threshold of Cdn$7,500, the Company would issue 1,200,000 shares of common stock of the surviving issuer at the trailing 30-day average closing price. See the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 30, 2021 for additional discussion. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company settled 1,000,000 performance shares resulting from the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. During the first half of 2021, the Company settled the remaining 200,000 performance shares.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 1, 2021, the Company granted 197,000 stock options to certain officers and employees.

On November 15, 2021, the Company announced that it has closed a brokered private placement of approximately 900,000 shares of the Company at an issue price of $5.25 per share, for gross proceeds of $4.75 million (the “Offering”). The proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for expanding the Company’s remote neurology services offering for intraoperative neuromonitoring (“IONM”), extending the Company’s operational footprint into new states, supporting expected growth generated by the agreement with Premier, Inc. and general working capital purposes. Kestrel Merchant Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”) acted as the exclusive sponsor and The Benchmark Company, LLC (the “Agent”) acted as sole placement agent in connection with the Offering. Additionally, certain directors, officers and employees are expected to participated in a subsequent offering to settle approximately $700 thousand of compensation at a market price to be determined in accordance with Nasdaq listing requirements following the end of the Company’s trading blackout in accordance with the Company’s insider trading policy.

Assure’s integrated IONM offering, encompassing both the technologist in the operating room as well as off-site remote neurology services, help the Company create an even higher standard of service for surgeons and patients alike. In addition, it broadens Assure’s platform and greatly expands the Company’s margin potential by significantly reducing cost of delivery. This allows Assure to improve profitability on every case performed. Expanded scale associated with physician-driven remote neurology services’ one-to-many model,

in contrast to the Company’s legacy on-site technologist-driven one-to-one model, is the most important catalyst for margin improvement. The top-line also benefits from Assure’s integrated offering, given that most remote neurology cases Assure performs itself establish a new revenue stream. Assure technologists have created substantial managed case volume for the business that the Company’s physicians performing remote neurology services are simply consuming. Currently, driving growth in remote neurology services is a matter of scheduling and delivering Assure’s existing managed case volume. Further, providing remote neurology services for IONM offers Assure new opportunities in adjacent markets such as electroencephalographic (EEG), epilepsy, sleep studies and stroke care, where similar services and expertise are utilized.

The Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from revenues generated from its services, by utilizing a bank promissory note and line of credit, from the issuances of convertible debentures, other debentures, from government loan programs, and from the sale of common stock. The Company’s ability to maintain the carrying value of its assets is dependent on successfully marketing its services and maintaining future profitable operations, the outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time. The Company has also stated its intention to grow its operations by developing additional PE relationships and directly contracting with hospitals and surgery centers for services. In the future, it may be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds for the continuing development of its business plan.

COVID-19

Our business and results of operations have been, and continues to be, adversely affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic and related events and we expect its impact to continue. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in various markets and industries, including the healthcare industry. The volatility has had, and we anticipate it will continue to have, an adverse effect on our customers and on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and may result in an impairment of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, increased credit losses and impairments of investments in other companies. In particular, the healthcare industry, hospitals and providers of elective procedures have been and may continue to be impacted by the pandemic and/or other events beyond our control, and further volatility could have an additional negative impact on these industries, customers, and our business. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and, to a lesser extent, the impact on other industries, including automotive, electronics and real estate, increased fuel costs, U.S. restrictions on trade, and transitory inflation have impacted and may continue to impact the financial conditions of our customers and the patients they serve. In addition, actions by United States federal, state and foreign governments to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, also had a significant adverse effect on the markets in which we conduct our businesses. COVID-19 poses the risk that our workforce, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting normal business activities for an extended period of time, including due to shutdowns or stay-at-home orders that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. We have implemented policies to allow our employees to work remotely as a result of the pandemic as we reviewed processes related to workplace safety, including social distancing and sanitation practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The COVID-19 pandemic could also cause delays in acquiring new customers and executing renewals and could also impact our business as consumer behavior changes in response to the pandemic.

Since the start of the second quarter of 2021, there has been increased availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel, and government activities and functions, and we have experienced a gradual resumption of economic activities in our industries. On the other hand, infection rates continue to fluctuate in various regions and new strains of the virus, including the Delta variant, remain a risk, which may give rise to implementation of restrictions in the geographic areas that we serve. In addition, there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including disruption of the supply chains, product shortages, increased delivery costs, increased governmental regulation, strains on healthcare systems, and delays in shipments, product development, technology launches and facility access.

believe somewhat mitigates the risks to our business, our per-unit and variable-fee based revenue will continue to be susceptible to the volatility, supply chain disruptions, microchip shortages and potential market downturns induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $8.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively, net of implicit price concessions. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded an allowance for implicit price concessions of nil and $4.6 million, respectively.

Patient service fee revenue is recognized in the period in which IONM services are rendered, at net realizable amounts due from third party payors when collections are reasonably assured and can be estimated. The majority of the Company’s services are rendered on an out-of-network basis and billed to third party insurers. We record out-of-network technical and professional revenue (included in-Patient service fees, net) per case based upon our historical collection rates from private insurance carriers. Our revenue estimation process for out-of-network revenue is based on the collection experience from insurance cases that are up to two years old and management the collection experience of these receivables is more indicative of future per case collection rates. The Company recognizes revenue from hospital and surgery center customers and certain PEs, for which the Company does not have an ownership interest in, on a contractual basis. Revenue from services rendered is recorded after services are rendered.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Assure managed 4,996 cases where it retained 100% of the professional revenue (from our wholly-owned subsidiaries) compared to 2,685 cases where it retained 100% of the professional revenue (from our wholly- owned subsidiaries) in the same period in the prior year, an 86% increase in case volume. The increase is primarily related to organic sales growth in new markets such as Nebraska and Nevada, the acquisition of Sentry on April 30, 2021, and the launch of tele neurologist services.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $4.3 million compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2020. Cost of revenues consist primarily of third-party billing fees, the cost of our internal billing and collection department, technologist and reader wages, third-party reader and collection fees and medical supplies. Technologist wages and medical supplies vary with the number of neuromonitoring cases. The cost of our internal billing and collection department increased as we have ramped up this department and as the number of cases they are responsible for invoicing increases. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the number of neuromonitoring cases increased 86% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, which increased cost of revenues year over year.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses were $3.2 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase period-to-period was primarily related to an increase in information technology consulting costs as we continue to focus on automation and infrastructure to scale our business and an increase in stock based compensation expense.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses was $247 thousand and $349 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The decrease period-to-period was related to cost savings measures.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $293 thousand and $249 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily related to the increase in ROU lease assets compared to the prior year.

Income (loss) from equity method investments

Assure recognizes its pro-rata share of the net income (loss) generated by the non-wholly-owned PEs. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $139 thousand of income from equity method investments compared to $232 thousand in losses for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The variance is primarily associated with recording of the previously mentioned implicit price concessions which were significantly larger in 2020 than 2021.

Accretion expense

The Company recorded accretion expense of $171 thousand and $227 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company accretes the difference between the fair value of the warrants and conversion feature related to the Central Bank and Centurion debt, as applicable, and the face value of such debt over the term of the debt.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $264 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $58 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase year-over-year is primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances and the amortization of debt issuance costs. The Company capitalizes debt issuance costs and then amortizes such costs over the term of the debt.

Income tax benefit (expense)

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 income tax expense was $158 thousand compared to an income tax benefit of $367 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s estimated annual tax rate is impacted primarily by the amount of taxable income earned in each jurisdiction the Company operates in and permanent differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 income tax benefit was $743 thousand compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s estimated annual tax rate is impacted primarily by the amount of taxable income earned in each jurisdiction the Company operates in and permanent differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash position as of September 30, 2021 was $918 thousand compared to the December 31, 2020 cash balance of $4.4 million. Working capital was $26.6 million as of September 30, 2021 compared to $17.4 million at December 31, 2020. We rely on payments from multiple private insurers and hospital systems that have payment policies and payment cycles that vary widely. Because we are primarily an out-of-network biller to private insurance companies, the collection times for our claims can last in excess of 24 months. Accounts receivables outstanding greater than 24 months are fully reserved.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we collected approximately $10.1 million of cash from operations compared to collecting approximately $10.0 million in the same prior year period. As at September 30, 2021, accounts receivable, which are recorded net of implicit price concessions, was $22.7 million compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2020. We received $312 thousand in cash distributions from the PE entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $424 thousand received for the same prior year period.

We financed our operations primarily from revenues generated from services rendered and through equity and debt financings. We expect to meet our obligations for the next 12 months, through cash earned through operating activities, debt financings, and equity offerings. During November 2021, we completed an equity financing. See Subsequent Event below for additional discussion.

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $9.4 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period in the preceding year. Cash was used to fund operations and to fund our growth strategy.

Cash provided by investing activities of $108 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was related the PE advances, offset by payments related to the Sentry acquisition. Cash used in investing activities of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily related to payments against the Neuro-Pro acquisition partially offset by the distributions received from the PEs.

Cash provided by financing activities of $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was due to $7.4 million of net proceeds from the debenture, $1.7 million of proceeds from the Payroll Protection Program loan, and $832 thousand in proceeds from common stock issuances, offset by $4.1 million payments of bank debt. Cash provided by financing activities of $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to $2.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures, $1.2 million of proceeds from the payroll protection program, net proceeds of $560 thousand from the bank promissory note, and net proceeds of $1.1 million from the bank line of credit.

Our near-term cash requirements relate primarily to payroll expenses, trade payables, debt payments, capital lease payments, and general corporate obligations. Approximately 50% - 55% of the trade and other payables at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consist of accrued billing fees. These fees will not be due and payable until the underlying accounts receivable is collected which may be in the longer term.

A portion of the proceeds from the Debenture were utilized to repay the Central Bank line of credit and the Central Bank promissory note.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We have receivables from related parties and equity investments in PEs that are due and payable upon those entities collecting on their own accounts receivable. To the extent that these entities are unable to collect on their accounts receivable or there is an impairment in the valuation of those accounts receivable, the Company will need to reduce its related party receivables and/or its equity investments in the PEs.

Subsequent Event

On November 15, 2021, the Company announced that it has closed a brokered private placement of approximately 900,000 shares of the Company at an issue price of $5.25 per share, for gross proceeds of $4.75 million (the “Offering”). The proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for expanding the Company’s remote neurology services offering for intraoperative neuromonitoring (“IONM”), extending the Company’s operational footprint into new states, supporting expected growth generated by the agreement with Premier, Inc. and general working capital purposes. Kestrel Merchant Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”) acted as the exclusive sponsor and The Benchmark Company, LLC (the “Agent”) acted as sole placement agent in connection with the Offering. Additionally, certain directors, officers and employees are expected to participate in a subsequent offering to settle approximately $700 thousand of compensation at a

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Application of GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and within this MD&A. We consider our most important accounting policies that require significant estimates and management judgment to be those policies with respect to revenue, accounts receivable, stock based compensation, acquired intangible assets, goodwill, and income taxes, which are discussed below. Our other significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation” and Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2021.

We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In general, our estimates are based on historical experience, evaluation of current trends, information from third-party professionals and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the known facts and circumstances. Estimates can require a significant amount of judgment and a different set of assumptions could result in material changes to our reported results.
