Notes to CONDENSED Consolidated Financial Statements

AS OF AND FOR THE THREE and SIX MONTHS ENDED June 30, 2014 and 2013 (UnaUDITED)

 

1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (“MTBC” or the “Company”) is a healthcare information technology company that offers proprietary electronic health records and patient management solutions, together with related business services, to healthcare providers. The Company’s integrated services are designed to help customers increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. The Company’s services include full-scale revenue cycle management, electronic health records, and other technology-driven practice management services to private and hospital-employed healthcare providers. MTBC has offices in Somerset, New Jersey, Islamabad, Pakistan and Bagh, Pakistan.

 

On July 28, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock. The Company sold 4,080,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share, generating net proceeds of $15.6 million, of which $11.3 million was used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of three revenue cycle management companies, Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC, Practicare Medical Management, Inc. and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. (the “Acquired Businesses”). See Note 16 for additional information.

 

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by MTBC in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s prospectus dated July 22, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 23, 2014.

 

On April 4, 2014, the Company split its common stock 8.65 shares for one. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the stock split effective April 4, 2014. All share data information presented within the condensed consolidated financial statements gives effect to the stock split.

 

Current Business Conditions – For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred an operating loss of $710,525 and $127,516, respectively, a net loss of $673,073 and $177,996, respectively, and the working capital deficiency on June 30, 2014 was approximately $2.5 million. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was partially the result of a $183,976 foreign exchange loss (part of other income), and additional salaries and professional fees to prepare for pending growth from three acquisitions that were consummated concurrent with the IPO.

 

5
 

 

The working capital deficiency is primarily the result of the indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisitions entered into during 2012 and 2013, as well as the $1.9 million of deferred initial public offering costs and $420,000 of expensed professional fees that relate to acquisitions and preparation to become a public company. The Company’s line of credit with TD Bank has a limit of $1.2 million and the Company had no further availability under the line as of June 30, 2014. The line of credit renews annually, and currently matures on November 29, 2014. The Company has received a support letter from the holder of the Company’s convertible note, which demonstrates the investor’s commitment to provide financial support, in the form of purchasing stock, additional convertible notes, or some other instrument, at an interest rate determined by such investor, of up to $1.2 million, if and as needed, to enable by the Company to continue as a going concern until May 31, 2015. The Company’s majority shareholder has also committed, if necessary, to contribute additional capital of up to $400,000. As a result of the completion of the IPO, the Company does not anticipate drawing on these commitments.

 

During the three months ending June 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $165,000 from its majority shareholder, which was subsequently repaid following the closing of the IPO.

 

Initial Public Offering Costs — Initial public offering costs consist primarily of professional fees, principally of legal and accounting costs, and other costs such as printing and registration costs incurred in connection with the IPO. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company incurred $1,866,691 and $1,312,850, respectively, of costs directly attributable to the IPO, which have been deferred and recorded in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of such dates. The deferred costs will be offset against the offering proceeds in the Company’s financial statements for the period in which the IPO closed. The Company incurred various professional fees of $138,988 and $143,734 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $73,394 and $143,734 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, that were not directly attributable to the IPO and were included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Recent Accounting PronouncementsFrom time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which contains authoritative guidance that implements a common revenue model that will enhance comparability across industries and require enhanced disclosures. The new standard introduces a five-step principles-based process to determine the timing and amount of revenue ultimately expected to be received by the customer. This amendment will be effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2018 with either retrospective or modified retrospective treatment applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon implementation. Early adoption is not permitted.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. This amendment clarifies the guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Statement of Cash Flows– Subsequent to the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company determined that the presentation of IPO-related expenses on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were incorrectly included in “Net Cash provided by operating activities”. Accordingly, the Company has restated certain amounts in the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as follows:

 

6
 

 

 

Line Item  As Previously Reported   Adjustment   As Restated 
             
Operating activities:               
Changes in operating assets and liabilities:               
Other assets  $(182,551)  $240,000   $57,449 
Net cash provided by operating activities  $48,618   $240,000   $288,618 
                
Financing activities:               
IPO-related costs  $-   $(240,000)  $(240,000)
Net cash provided by financing activities  $627,310   $(240,000)  $387,310 

 

The Company has evaluated the effect of the incorrect presentation, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and concluded that it does not have a material impact on, or require amendment to, any previously filed financial statements

 

3.ACQUISITIONS

 

Effective at the close of business on June 30, 2013, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire Metro Medical Management Services, Inc. (“Metro Medical”). Metro Medical is a New York-based company that offers full-scale revenue cycle management services to small-to-medium sized healthcare practices. Metro Medical broadened the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available marketing resources and specialized trained staff. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid cash consideration of $275,000 at closing and issued a promissory note to Metro Medical for $1,225,000. The principal amount of the promissory note is payable in monthly installments over a twenty-four month period from September 2013, and bears interest at the rate of 5% per year.

 

Cash paid on date of acquisition  $275,000 
Promissory note payable to Metro Medical   1,225,000 
Total purchase consideration  $1,500,000 

 

Under purchase price accounting, we recognize the assets and liabilities acquired at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess in purchase price over these values being allocated to goodwill.

 

We engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist the Company in valuing the assets from our acquisition of Metro Medical. The results of the valuation are presented as below:

 

Customer contracts and relationships  $904,000 
Non-compete agreement   252,000 
Goodwill   344,000 
   $1,500,000 

 

The pro forma information below represents condensed consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition of Metro Medical occurred on January 1, 2013. The pro forma information has been included for comparative purposes and is not indicative of results of operations of the Company had the acquisitions occurred at January 1, 2013, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

 

   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended 
   June 30, 2013   June 30, 2013 
Total revenue   $ 3,089,057   $ 6,074,147 
Net (loss)  $(363,931)  $(549,016)

 

7
 

 

The revenue from former customers of Metro Medical whose contracts were acquired has been included in the Company’s statement of operations for each reporting period since the date of acquisition. Revenues of approximately $577,911 and $1,202,689 related to Metro Medical are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

 

4.Intangible Assets – NET

 

Intangible assets-net as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consist of the following:

5.Concentrations

 

Financial Risks — As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held Pakistani rupees of 320,859 (approximately USD $3,256) and Pakistani rupees of 46,232,463 (approximately USD $440,309), respectively, in the name of its subsidiary at a bank in Pakistan. Funds are wired to Pakistan near the end of each month to cover payroll at the beginning of the next month and operating expenses throughout the month. The banking system in Pakistan does not provide deposit insurance coverage. Additionally, from time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions in the United States of America in excess of federal insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are managed by periodic credit evaluations of customers. The Company does not require collateral for outstanding trade accounts receivable. No one customer accounts for a significant portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable portfolio and write-offs have been minimal. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no customers with total sales of 4% or more.

 

Geographical Risks — The Company’s offices in Islamabad and Bagh, Pakistan, conduct significant back-office operations for the Company. The Company has no revenue earned outside of the United States of America. The office in Bagh is located in a different territory of Pakistan from the Islamabad office. The Bagh office was opened in 2009 for the purpose of providing operational support and operating as a backup to the Islamabad office. The Company’s operations in Pakistan are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the United States. The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environment in Pakistan and by the general state of Pakistan’s economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, changes in Pakistan’s telecommunications industry, regulatory rules and policies, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

7.Debt

 

Revolving Line of Credit — The Company has an agreement with TD Bank for a revolving line of credit maturing on November 29, 2014 for up to $1,215,000. The line of credit has a variable rate of interest per annum at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1% (4.25% as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013). The line of credit is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets and is guaranteed by the majority shareholder of the Company. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1,215,000 and $1,015,000 respectively.

 

Santander Bank (formerly Sovereign Bank) Loan Agreement — The Company has a term loan, originally established to provide the Company revolving advances up to $100,000, with an interest rate of 7.74% per annum. The term loan was repaid subsequent to June 30, 2014. The amount outstanding under this term loan was $1,667 and $11,667 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and has subsequently been repaid in full.

 

Convertible Note — On September 23, 2013, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $500,000 to an accredited investor, AAMD LLC, with a maturity date of March 23, 2016, and bearing interest at the rate of 7.0% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal and interest outstanding thereunder automatically converted into 117,567 shares of common stock upon the closing of the IPO at a conversion price equal to 90% of the per-share issuance price of the common stock in the IPO.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the convertible note payable was $495,963 and $472,429, respectively, including $35,301 and $11,767 of accrued interest, respectively.

 

The Company reviewed the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. The automatic conversion feature of this promissory note has the economic characteristics of a contingent redemption because the total fair value of shares delivered to settle this feature will always be equal to a fixed amount regardless of the IPO price. Consequently, in substance, the automatic conversion feature has the economic characteristics of a contingent early redemption of the convertible note using shares rather than cash (i.e., stock-settled debt), and represents an embedded derivative instrument under Accounting Standards Codification 815-15-25 that is required to be accounted for separately from the debt instruments.

 

The Company accounted for the automatic conversion feature as a derivative liability to be recorded at fair value at each reporting period. The fair value of the automatic conversion feature at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was estimated to be $40,063 and $38,142 and is included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

11.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

In April, 2014, the Company adopted the Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan,”), reserving a total of 1,351,000 shares of common stock for grants to employees, officers, directors and consultants. Permissible awards include incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock and cash settled awards, and other stock-based awards in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, including unrestricted stock grants.

 

The Company awarded 217,500 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2014 Plan to two named executive offices and its three independent directors. One third of these RSUs will vest annually over three years as long as the executive continues to be employed by the Company on the applicable vesting date or the director remains a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the Company recognized stock-based compensation cost beginning in April, 2014.

 

All RSUs contain a provision in which the units shall immediately vest and become converted into the right to receive a cash payment payable on the original vesting date after a change in control as defined in the award agreement.

 

We engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist us in valuing the RSUs granted in April, 2014, who determined the fair value of the RSUs was $3.60 per share at the time of grant. The aggregate compensation cost for RSUs recorded under the stock-based compensation plans was $62,154 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended

Total stock-based compensation expense  $62,154   $-   $62,154   $- 

 

12.INCOME TAXES

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company estimated the effective rate based upon the annual projected pre-tax loss.

 

The Company’s plan to repatriate earnings in Pakistan to the United States requires that U.S. Federal taxes be provided on the Company’s earnings in Pakistan. For state tax purposes, the Company’s Pakistan earnings generally are not taxed due to a subtraction modification available in most states. As a result, the Company has reported cumulative losses at the state level for the last three years, and has determined that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to utilize its state deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance has been recorded against all state deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2014.

 

13.OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) – NET

 

Other income (expense) net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following:

 

12
 

 

   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2014   2013   2014   2013 
Foreign exchange (losses) gains  $19,288   $55,569   $(183,976)  $81,288 
Other   (1,557)   2,977    1,822    14,458 
Other (expense) income - net   17,731    58,546    (182,154)   95,746 

 

Foreign currency transaction (losses) gains result from transactions related to the intercompany receivable for which transaction adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as they are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. A decline in the exchange rate of Pakistan rupees per U.S. dollar by 6% from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014 caused a foreign exchange gain of $19,288 and exchange loss of $183,976 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. An increase in the exchange rate of Pakistan rupees per U.S. dollar by 4% from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013, caused a foreign exchange gain of $55,569 and $81,288 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

16.Subsequent events

 

On July 22, 2014, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC, and on July 23, 2014, the Company sold 4,080,000 shares of common stock to the public at $5.00 per share in its IPO. The common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “MTBC.”

 

On July 28, 2014, the Company received the proceeds of the IPO and consummated the acquisition of the assets of three Acquired Businesses. The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Businesses amounted to approximately $17.5 million based on the IPO price of $3.89 per share, consisting of cash in the amount of approximately $11.3 million, and 1,684,096 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $6.2 million based on the IPO price, subject to subsequent adjustments.

 

With respect to Omni, following the closing date an upward purchase price adjustment may be made to the cash consideration payable to Omni with respect to revenue from new customers who executed one-year contracts prior to the closing, in an amount not to exceed the revenues generated by Omni during the 12 month period preceding the closing from customers that are not in good standing as of the closing date. In no event will the adjustment amount to more than 5% of the purchase price.

 

The Company has recorded its preliminary accounting for this acquisition in accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations. Based on our experience with our prior acquisitions, the Company believes that the primary intangible assets of value will be customer contracts and customer relationships and non-compete agreements. Our preliminary estimates show that the acquisitions will result in a portion of each purchase price allocated to goodwill due to the following: (i) the Acquired Businesses are being purchased at higher multiples to their trailing revenues, (ii) more employees of each Acquired Business will be retained following the acquisitions as compared to acquisitions completed in prior years and (iii) a higher weighted average cost of capital reflecting the increased cost of capital implied by the lower IPO price.

 

For the three Acquired Businesses, management has made a preliminary fair value estimate of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary fair value adjustment to equity is based on our estimate of revenues at the time of acquisition and our estimate of customer retention rates, which drive the contingent portion of the purchase price, as discussed further below. These preliminary fair value estimates will differ from the final valuation, once we have received the valuation report of a third-party specialist; and this difference could be material.

 

The Company recorded $73,394 and $138,988 of acquisition-related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, which are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within general and administrative expenses.

 

The purchase price of the acquisitions has been preliminarily allocated to the net tangible and definite-lived intangible assets acquired (customer contracts and relationships and covenants not to compete) with the remainder recorded as goodwill on the basis of estimated fair values. The preliminary allocation is presented in the table below. The accounting for the acquisition of the Acquired Business is incomplete as of the date of this filing, pending review of the closing balance sheets of the Acquired Business and receipt of the report of a third-party valuation specialist that will assist the Company in valuing the acquired assets.

All references to “MTBC,” “Medical Transcription Billing, Corp.,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” mean Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. and its subsidiaries, except where it is made clear that the term means only the parent company.

 

Overview

 

MTBC is a healthcare information technology company that provides a fully integrated suite of proprietary web-based solutions, together with related business services, to healthcare providers practicing in ambulatory settings. Our integrated Software-as-a-Service (or SaaS) platform is designed to help our customers increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. We employ a highly educated workforce of more than 1,000 people in Pakistan, where we believe labor costs are approximately one-half the cost of comparable India-based employees, thus enabling us to deliver our solutions at competitive prices.

 

Our flagship offering, PracticePro, empowers healthcare practices with the core software and business services they need to address industry challenges, including the Affordable Care Act, on one unified SaaS platform. We deliver powerful, integrated and easy-to-use ‘big practice solutions’ to small and medium practices, which enable them to efficiently operate their businesses, manage clinical workflows and receive timely payment for their services. PracticePro consists of:

 

·Practice management software and related tools, which facilitate the day-to-day operation of a medical practice;
·Electronic health records (or EHR) , which are easy to use, highly ranked, and allow our customers to reduce paperwork and qualify for government incentives;
·Revenue cycle management (or RCM) services, which include end-to-end medical billing, analytics, and related services; and
·Mobile Health (or mHealth) solutions, including smartphone applications that assist patients and healthcare providers in the provision of healthcare services.

 

17
 

 

Adoption of our solutions requires only a modest upfront expenditure by a provider. Additionally, our financial performance is linked directly to the financial performance of our clients because the vast majority of our revenues is based on a percentage of our clients' collections. The standard fee for our complete, integrated, end-to-end solution is 5% of a practice’s healthcare-related revenues plus a one-time setup fee, and is among the lowest in the industry.

 

Our growth strategy involves two approaches: acquiring smaller RCM companies and then migrating the customers of those companies to our solutions, as well as partnering with EHR and other vendors that lack an integrated solution and integrating our solutions with their offerings. The RCM service industry is highly fragmented, with many local and regional RCM companies serving small medical practices. We believe that the industry is ripe for consolidation and that we can achieve significant growth through acquisitions. We further believe that it is becoming increasingly difficult for traditional RCM companies to meet the growing technology and business service needs of healthcare providers without a significant investment in information technology infrastructure.

 

We believe we will also be able to accelerate organic growth by partnering with industry participants, utilizing them as channel partners to offer integrated solutions to their customers. We have recently entered into arrangements with industry participants from which we expect to begin to derive revenue starting in the mid-2014, including emerging EHR providers and other healthcare vendors that lack a full suite of solutions. We are in the midst of developing application interfaces with two EHR systems as well as a provider of paper-based clinical forms to create integrated offerings.

 

Our Pakistan operations accounted for approximately 53% of total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 50% of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014. A significant portion of those expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 77% for the six months ended June 30, 2014). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our Pakistan operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry participants. All of the medical billing companies that we acquired, including Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC, Practicare Medical Management, Inc. and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. (the “Acquired Businesses,”) use domestic labor or labor from higher cost locations to provide all or a substantial portion of their services. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions as we shift these domestic labor costs to Pakistan.

 

Key Performance Measures

 

We consider numerous factors in assessing our performance. Key performance measures used by management, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, are non-GAAP financial measures which we believe better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results from period to period.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP.”) Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, and we provide reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes

 

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share provide an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that an investor’s understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these adjusted performance measures.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin exclude the following elements which are included in GAAP Net Income (Loss):

·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

 

18
 

 

·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect foreign currency gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, asset impairment charges or other expenses;
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the value of stock-based compensation expenses;
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, and does not reflect any cash requirements for replacement for capital expenditures; and
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect nonrecurring transaction or acquisition-related costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, and certain acquisition accounting impacts

 

The following table shows our reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013:

Key Metrics

 

In addition to the line items in our financial statements, we regularly review the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections, make strategic business decisions, and assess market share trends and working capital needs. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends in our business.

 

Set forth below are our key operating and financial metrics for customers using our platform, which excludes acquired customers who have not migrated to our platform. Practices using our platform accounted for approximately 90% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

First Pass Acceptance Rate: We define first pass acceptance rate as the percentage of claims submitted electronically by us to insurers and clearinghouses that are accepted on the first submission and are not rejected for reasons such as insufficient information or improper coding. Clearinghouses are third parties that process the submission of claims to insurers and require compliance with insurance companies’ formatting and other submission rules before submitting those claims. For the purposes of calculating first pass acceptance rate, consistent with industry practice, we exclude claims submitted under real-time adjudication procedures, which are procedures that allow a healthcare provider to determine, at the point of care, if a service they are rendering will be paid. Our first-time acceptance rate is 98% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, which compares favorably to the average of the top twelve payers of approximately 94%, as reported by the American Medical Association.

 

First Pass Resolution Rate: First pass resolution rate measures the percentage of primary claims that are favorably adjudicated and closed upon a single submission. Our first pass resolution rate was approximately 96% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014.

 

20
 

  

Days in Accounts Receivable: Days in accounts receivable measures the median number of days between the day a claim is submitted by us on behalf of our customer, and the date the claim is paid to our customer. Our clients’ median days in accounts receivable was 33 days for primary care and 36 days for combined specialties for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the national average of 38, as reported by the Medical Group Management Association, an association for professional administrators and leaders of medical group practices. Higher first pass resolution rates and effective follow-up helped us to achieve this rate, which reduces our customers’ collection cycle of claims, leading to increased revenue and customer satisfaction.

 

Customer Renewal Rate. Our customer renewal rate measures the percentage of our clients who were a party to a services agreement with us on January 1 of a particular year and continued to operate and be a client on December 31 of the same year. It also includes acquired accounts, if they are a party to a services agreement with the company we acquired and are generating revenue for us, so long as the risk of client loss under the respective purchase agreement has fully shifted to us by January 1 of the particular year. The renewal rate for our PracticePro customers for 2012 and 2013 was 85% each year. The renewal rate for our customers who are also users of our EHR for 2012 and 2013 was 90% each year. The renewal rate for our customers who are meaningful users (i.e., those who successfully attested for meaningful use and earned a bonus) of our EHR for 2012 and 2013 was at least 95% each year. The percentage of our revenue we generated during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 which came from (i) PracticePro clients, was 90% in each year, (ii) all users of our EHR, was 49% and 50%, respectively, and (iii) from meaningful users of our EHR, was 25%, and 27% respectively.

 

Providers and Practices Served. As of June 30, 2014, without giving effect to the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses, we served approximately 975 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 411 practices.

 

Sources of Revenue

 

Revenue: We derive our revenues primarily as a percentage of payments collected by our customers that use our comprehensive PracticePro product suite. These payments accounted for approximately 88% of our revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and approximately 90% of our revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Accordingly, key drivers of our revenue include growth in the number of providers using PracticePro, the number of patients served by those providers, and collections by those providers. We also generate revenues from one-time setup fees we charge for implementing PracticePro; the sale of our stand-alone web-based EHR solution, ChartsPro; and from transcription, coding, indexing and other ancillary services.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Direct Operating Cost. Direct operating costs consists primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our customers, claims processing costs, and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our Pakistan operations accounted for approximately 63% and 62% of direct operating cost for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. As we grow, we expect to achieve further economies of scale and to see our direct operating costs decrease as a percentage of revenue.

 

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, commissions, travel and advertising expenses. These have been relatively low in the past (under 3% of our revenue), as we have often found it to be more economical to grow by the acquisition of other medical billing companies than by engaging in directed marketing efforts to prospective customers. However, going forward, we intend to invest in marketing, business development and sales resources to expand our market share, building on our existing customer base. As a result, we expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase as a percentage of revenue in the future.

 

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs and third-party contractor costs. Because we incorporate our technology into our services as soon as technological feasibility is established, such costs are currently expensed as incurred. We expect our research and development expense to increase in the future in absolute terms but decrease as a percentage of revenue. Consistent with our growth plans, we are hiring developers, analysts and project managers in an effort to streamline our operational processes and further develop our products. We believe that the continued automation of our workflow will lead to an increase in our revenue through the efficient submission of insurance claims for our customers as well as a reduction in our operating costs.

 

21
 

  

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, occupancy and insurance, software license fees and outside professional fees. We expect that general and administrative expense will increase in absolute terms for the foreseeable future as we incur additional expense inherent in becoming a publicly-traded company, including increased legal fees, accounting fees, and investor relations costs. Our Pakistan office accounted for approximately 46% and 45% of general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Though expenses are expected to continue to rise in absolute terms, we expect general and administrative expense to decline as a percentage of overall revenues as revenues increase.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation expense is charged using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Depreciation for computers is calculated over three years, while remaining assets (except leasehold improvements) are depreciated over five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the economic life of those assets.

 

Amortization expense is charged on a straight-line basis over a period of three years for intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions, including customer contracts and relationships and covenants not to compete, as well as purchased software. We concluded that three years reflects the period during which the economic benefits are expected to be realized, and that the straight-line method is appropriate as the majority of the cash flows are expected to be recognized ratably over that period without significant degradation.

 

Our acquisition of Metro Medical during 2013 added $1,156,000 of intangibles to our balance sheet, resulting in additional amortization of $192,667 for the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013.

 

Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our working capital line of credit, term loans and notes issued in connection with acquisitions, offset by interest income on investments. Our other income (expense) results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains (losses), and amounted to $81,288 of other income and $183,976 of other expense in the first six months of 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

Income Tax. In preparing our financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense and related disclosures. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience, current trends and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

We believe that the accounting policies are those policies that involve the greatest degree of complexity and exercise of judgment by our management. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations. For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our prospectus dated July 22, 2014, filed with the SEC on July 23, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that implements a common revenue model that will enhance comparability across industries and require enhanced disclosures. The new standard introduces a five-step principles based process to determine the timing and amount of revenue ultimately expected to be received by the customer. This amendment will be effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2018 with either retrospective or modified retrospective treatment applied, the Company is currently evaluating the impact that this may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon implementation.

Total revenue of $2.6 million and $5.2 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $307,000 or 13% and $643,000 or 14% from revenue of $2.3 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included $578,000 and $1.2 million of revenue, respectively, from customers we acquired from Metro Medical on June 30, 2013. The acquired customers from Metro Medical were the primary source of new revenue during the first six months of 2014, more than offsetting decreased revenues resulting from the loss of existing customers.

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating costs of $1.1 million and $2.3 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, increased by $195,000 or 21% and $420,000 or 23% from direct operating costs of $917,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Salary cost in Pakistan increased by $132,000 or 25% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and by $234,000 or 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as a result of the addition of 105 employees in Pakistan who were hired primarily to service customers of Metro Medical and in preparation to begin servicing customers of the Acquired Businesses.

 

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense of $45,000 and $115,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, decreased by $4,000 or 9% and $5,000 or 4% from selling and marketing expense of $49,000 and $120,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as the Company focused its efforts on the pending IPO.

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense of $1.4 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, increased by $231,000 or 19% and $559,000 or 26% from general and administrative expense of $1.2 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, with additional expenses incurred in connection with the IPO and the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses, as well as additional general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Metro Medical on June 30, 2013. Salary expense in the U.S. increased by $110,000 or 54% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and by $202,000 or 51% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Salary expense in Pakistan increased by $98,000 or 35% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and by $186,000 or 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as a result of the addition of 47 administrative employees in Pakistan. Legal and professional fees increased by $19,000 or 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and by $81,000 or 30% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to pending acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses.

 

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense of $126,000 and $242,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, increased by $27,000 or 27% and $46,000 or 24% from research and development expense of $99,000 and $196,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as a result of the addition of nine employees in Pakistan engaged in research and development activities.

 

Depreciation. Depreciation of $55,000 and $106,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, were essentially flat with depreciation of $52,000 and $104,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Amortization Expense. Amortization expense of $216,000 and $435,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, increased by $86,000 or 66% and $174,000 or 67% from amortization expense of $130,000 and $260,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. This increase resulted from our intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Metro Medical on June 30, 2013, which are being amortized over three years.

Interest Income. Interest income of $4,000 and $7,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, decreased by $2,000 or 28% and $7,000 or 48% from interest income of $6,000 and $14,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due to lower late payment fees from customers.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense of $51,000 and $104,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, decreased by $20,000 or 66% and $43,000 or 71% from interest expense of $31,000 and $61,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. This increase was primarily due to interest on the loan from our founder and majority shareholder, which was used to cover the initial public offering and acquisition expenses.

Other Income (expense) -- net. Other income-net of $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $41,000 or 70% from other income-net of $59,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Other expense net was $182,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to other income-net of $96,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. An increase in the exchange rate of Pakistan rupees per U.S. dollar by 9% from July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 followed by a decline of 8% from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014 and a 2% increase from April 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014 caused an exchange loss of $203,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 followed by an exchange gain of $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, resulting in an exchange loss of $184,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This compared to an exchange gain of $56,000 and $81,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Income Tax Benefit. There was a $129,000 and $317,000 benefit for income taxes for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $37,000 and $32,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The pre-tax loss increased from $125,000 and $108,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 to $418,000 and $989,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented.

 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2014   2013 
Net cash provided by operating activities  $101,863   $288,618 
Net cash used in investing activities   (103,847)   (396,142)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities   (446,788)   387,310 
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash   (16,651)   (64,510)
Net (decrease) increase in cash   (465,423)   215,276 

 

Because we completed our initial public offering in July, 2014, which provided us with approximately $4.3 million in additional cash after giving effect to the underwriter’s discount, offering expenses, and cash used to fund the purchase of the Acquired Businesses, we believe that our liquidity and cash position as of June 30, 2014 is no longer meaningful. Prior to our IPO, our operations were funded primarily by loans from our founder and principal stockholder, borrowings from commercial lenders and cash flow from operations. We believe the cash provided by the IPO plus our cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures and acquisition financing requirements for at least the next 12 months.

 

In addition, although the IPO provided us with sufficient funding to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, in order for us to grow and successfully execute our business plan, we may require additional financing which may not be available or may not be available on acceptable terms. If such financing is available in the form of equity, existing stockholders may see their percentage ownership diluted. Failure to obtain financing when needed may have a material adverse effect on our financial position. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support the operation or growth of our business could be significantly impaired and our operating results may be harmed.

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash provided from operating activities was $102,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2014, down $187,000 from $289,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The net loss increased by $597,000 in part because operating expenses grew $377,000 faster than revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2014. This was partly due to additional general and administrative expenses, such as the salary cost of a Chief Financial Officer (which we did not have during the six months ending June 30, 2013), incremental facilities expense resulting from the acquisition of Metro Medical on June 30, 2013, expenses related to the IPO and incremental spending in preparation for the three acquisitions completed in July 2014, a foreign exchange loss of $221,000 compared with a gain of $88,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013, and an increase of $177,000 in non-cash adjustments of depreciation and amortization. Accounts receivable decreased by $185,000, compared with a reduction in accounts receivable of $132,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Accounts payable and other liabilities grew by $209,000, compared with a decrease of $24,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Investing Activities

 

We have grown through acquisitions, and historically have structured acquisitions in a way that minimizes upfront cash outlays and relies primarily on promissory notes payable to the sellers. The acquisition of the Acquired Businesses was financed with a combination of cash and stock, issued upon the closing of the IPO.

 

After completion of each acquisition, we have generally restructured operations of the acquired company, reducing costs by shifting labor costs from the U.S. to Pakistan. This has allowed us to minimize the cash used in investing activities and provides us with financing largely serviced by cash flow from the businesses acquired. We anticipate that there will be additional opportunities to acquire similar businesses in the future, and management will evaluate each opportunity for future profitability and cash flow potential. Future acquisitions may be financed by a combination of equity, debt, promissory notes issued to the sellers and/or cash on hand. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve the same level of cost savings in the future or do so as quickly as we have in the past.

 

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $104,000, a decrease of $292,000 compared to $396,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $102,000, a decrease of $14,000 compared to $116,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. We made $1,500 of advances to a contractor working on the expansion of our backup facility in Pakistan, which is owned by our founder and principal stockholder and leased to MTBC, during the six months ended June 30, 2014. We received $200,000 of repayment of advances to our founder and principal stockholder in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Effective with the closing of our IPO, we adopted policies that govern related party transactions.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $447,000, compared to $387,000 of cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there was a $124,000 increase in net repayments on notes payable. We borrowed $1,000,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013, as well as a net of $50,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, from our founder and principal stockholder, which was used to finance costs related to the IPO and to make payments related to our 2012 acquisitions. We borrowed a net additional $200,000 under our line of credit with TD Bank during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net borrowings of $104,000 under our line of credit in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Average monthly borrowings from the line of credit were $183,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $21,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

We have a $1.2 million revolving line of credit which renews annually at the option of the lender, and currently matures on November 29, 2014. The line was fully drawn as of June 30, 2014, and was fully repaid in August, 2014. We are in discussions with the lender and other lenders to extend and increase this line of credit, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this regard.

 

We borrowed a net of $736,000 from our majority shareholder during 2013 plus an additional $50,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2014, which were used to finance IPO-related costs.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

We have contractual obligations under our line of credit, and notes issued in connection with our previous acquisitions. We also maintain operating leases for property and certain office equipment. There have been no other significant developments with respect to our contractual obligations since December 31, 2013. For additional information, see Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, in the Company’s prospectus dated July 22, 2014, filed with the SEC on July 23, 2014.

 

26
 

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2013 and 2014 we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Other than our operating leases for office space, computer equipment and other property, we do not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

 

27
 

  

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

 

Foreign currency exchange risk. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the Pakistan rupee. None of our consolidated revenues are earned outside the United States. In the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 51% and 53%, respectively, of our total expenses occurred in our subsidiary in Pakistan and were incurred in Pakistan rupees. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could harm our business in the future. Because a significant portion of our expenses is incurred outside the United States but our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, a 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have a 5% adverse impact on our costs, which would cause our margins to differ materially from expectations.

 

As our scale grows, our risks associated with fluctuation in currency rates will become greater, and we will continue to reassess our approach to managing this risk. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency hedging contracts, and we have no immediate plans to do so in the near future.

 

Liquidity risk. As of December 31, 2013 we held approximately $440,000 of cash in a bank in Pakistan and we held approximately $1,200 of cash in this bank on June 30, 2014. The banking system in Pakistan does not provide deposit insurance coverage. We generally wire funds to Pakistan from the U.S. near the end of each month to be used for payroll and other operating expenses in the following month, with the payroll payments being made by our Pakistani subsidiary in the first week of such month.

 

We have a transfer pricing agreement with our Pakistani subsidiary, and our Pakistani subsidiary is required under applicable law to generate an arms-length profit. Accordingly, monthly payments due from us to our Pakistani subsidiary for the services it provides to us are in an amount sufficient for it to generate a profit. However, our actual payments to our Pakistani subsidiary for these services are in a lesser amount, which covers just the actual costs incurred by our subsidiary. The excess amount owed by us but not paid to our Pakistani subsidiary is treated as a dividend from the Pakistani subsidiary to us. Accordingly, we record a current tax liability on our financial statements to cover U.S. taxes on that dividend. We plan to repatriate all earnings and profits generated by our Pakistani subsidiary. Therefore, we recognize a deferred tax liability on the cumulative balance of earnings and profits, as reduced by the amount treated as a dividend, at the federal tax rate.

 

Impact of inflation. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. To date, inflationary pressures experienced by our operations in Pakistan, which are funded by revenues we generate in the U.S., have been offset by declines in the Pakistan rupee to U.S. dollar exchange rate. However, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we might not be able to offset these higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

28
 

  

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the reasons set forth below.

 

Our management has identified a material weaknesses in our internal control related to the lack of sufficient personnel and processes to adequately and timely record certain complex financial transactions and the use of an accounting system which lacks the level of controls necessary for a public company. Management’s remediation efforts will include the hiring of additional accounting personnel, upgrading our accounting system with multi-company and multi-currency capabilities, and implementing additional controls. Remediation efforts are expected to continue through the next several quarterly periods until such time as management is able to conclude that its remediation efforts are operating and effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Company is currently integrating its business processes and information systems with those of the Acquired Businesses, including evaluating and enhancing the internal controls of all companies. This work commenced upon the closing of the acquisitions on July 28, 2014 and will continue throughout calendar year 2014.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity and reputational harm, and other factors.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The risks described in "Risk Factors," in the final prospectus that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2014 in connection with our IPO could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully review those risk factors in evaluating our business. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face, and our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

(a)   Sale of Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On April 4, 2014 we granted 217,500 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to our named executive officers and members of our Board of Directors under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The sales of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 701 of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering or transactions pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and instruments issued in such transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationship with us, to information about us.

 

(b)   Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock

 

On July 28 2014, we closed our initial public offering, in which we sold 4,080,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share. The aggregate offering price for shares sold in the offering was $20.4 million. The offer and sale of all of the shares in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-192989), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 22, 2014. The offering commenced July 23, 2014 and did not terminate before all of the securities registered in the registration statement were sold. Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, Aegis Capital Corp. and Summer Street Research Partners acted as joint book running managers for the offering. We raised approximately $15.6 million in net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriter discounts of approximately $1.4 million and other offering expenses, including the brokerage fees on the purchase of the Acquired Businesses, of approximately $3.4 million.

 

On July 28, 2014, upon receipt of funds from our IPO, we purchased the assets of three independent revenue cycle management companies, Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC, Practicare Medical Management, Inc., and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. for approximately $11.3 million in cash and 1.7 million shares of common stock, on terms disclosed in the Company's final prospectus.

 

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on July 23, 2014 pursuant to Rule 424(b). Other than repayments of indebtedness in the amount of $165,000 to Mahmud Haq, our principal stockholder and Chief Executive Officer, and payment of a cash bonus of $115,000 to Stephen Snyder, our President, no direct or indirect payments were made by us to any of our directors or officers or their associates, to persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries. Pending the uses described, we have invested the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
