NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, changes in laws or regulations applicable to our operations, any statements about our business, financial condition, operating results, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, any guidance on, or projections of, earnings, revenue or other financial items, or otherwise, and our future liquidity, including cash flows; any statements of any plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations, such as the material opportunities that we believe exist for our Company; any statements concerning proposed services, developments, mergers or acquisitions; or strategic transactions; any statements regarding management’s view of future expectations and prospects for us; any statements about prospective adoption of new accounting standards or effects of changes in accounting standards; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “anticipate,” “could,” “can,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “believe,” “think,” “plan,” “envision,” “intend,” “continue,” “target,” “seek,” “contemplate,” “budgeted,” “will,” “would,” and the negative of such terms, other variations on such terms or other similar or comparable words, phrases, or terminology. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to change.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on the current beliefs, expectations, and certain assumptions of management. Some or all of such beliefs, expectations, and assumptions may not materialize or may vary significantly from actual results. Such statements are qualified by important economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors that could cause our business, strategy, or actual results or events to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under, but not limited to, the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report, the Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and in the Annual Report of Nutex Health Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and other filings of the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change, and significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual conditions, outcomes, and results to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations. The Company assumes no obligations to update any such forward-looking statements.

NUTEX HEALTH INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – Organization and Operations
Nutex Health Inc. (“Nutex Health” or the “Company”), is a physician-led, healthcare services and operations company with 22 hospital facilities in eight states (hospital division), and a primary care-centric, risk-bearing population health management division. Our hospital division implements and operates different innovative health care models, including micro-hospitals, specialty hospitals and hospital outpatient departments (“HOPDs”). The population health management division owns and operates provider networks such as independent physician associations (“IPAs”) and offers a cloud-based proprietary technology platform to IPAs which aggregates clinical and claims data across multiple settings, information systems and sources to create a holistic view of patients and providers.
We employ approximately 800 full time employees and partner with over 900 physicians. Our corporate headquarters is based in Houston, Texas. We were incorporated on April 13, 2000 in the state of Delaware.
Merger of Nutex Health Holdco LLC and Clinigence Holdings, Inc. On April 1, 2022, the merger (the “Merger”) of Nutex Health Holdco LLC and Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“Clinigence”) was completed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered on November 23, 2021 between Clinigence, Nutex Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinigence, Nutex, Micro Hospital Holding LLC (solely for the purposes of certain sections of the Merger Agreement), Nutex Health Holdco LLC and Thomas Vo, M.D., solely in his capacity as the representative of the equity holders of Nutex Health Holdco LLC.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, Nutex Health Holdco LLC entered into certain Contribution Agreements with holders of equity interests (“Nutex Owners”) of subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Nutex Subsidiaries”) pursuant to which such Nutex Owners agreed to contribute certain equity interests in the Nutex Subsidiaries to Nutex Health Holdco LLC in exchange for specified equity interests in Nutex Health Holdco LLC (collectively, the “Contribution Transaction”). Nutex owners having ownership interests representing approximately 84% of the agreed upon aggregate equity value of the Nutex Subsidiaries, agreed to contribute all or a portion of their equity interests, as applicable.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each unit representing an equity interest in Nutex Health Holdco LLC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger but after the Contribution Transaction (collectively, the “Nutex Membership Interests”) was converted into the right to receive 3.571428575 shares of common stock of Clinigence, or an aggregate of 592,791,712 shares of common stock of Clinigence.
After completing the merger, Clinigence was renamed Nutex Health Inc.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation. These financial statements present the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations including those of majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary.
The hospital division includes our healthcare billing and collections organization and hospital entities. In addition, we have financial and operating relationships with multiple professional entities (the “Physician LLCs”) and real estate entities (the “Real Estate Entities”). The Physician LLCs employ the doctors who work in our hospitals. These entities are consolidated by the Company as VIEs because they do not have significant equity at risk, and we have historically provided support to the Physician LLCs in the event of cash shortages and received the benefit of their cash surpluses.
The Real Estate Entities own the land and hospital buildings which are leased to our hospital entities. The Real Estate Entities have mortgage loans payable to third parties which are collateralized by the land and buildings. We consolidate the Real Estate Entities as VIEs in instances where our hospital entities are guarantors or co-borrowers under their
9
outstanding mortgage loans. Since the second quarter of 2022, we have deconsolidated 18 Real Estate Entities after the third-party lenders released our guarantees of associated mortgage loans.
The Company has no direct or indirect ownership interest in the consolidated Physician LLCs or Real Estate Entities, so 100% of the equity for these entities is shown as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. Many of the Physician LLCs and Real Estate Entities are owned in part and in some cases controlled by related parties including members of our executive management team.
The population health management division includes our management services organizations and a healthcare information technology company providing a cloud-based platform for healthcare organizations. In addition, Associated Hispanic Physicians of So. California (“AHISP”), an IPA entity that is not owned by us, but is consolidated as a VIE of our wholly-owned subsidiary AHP Health Management Services Inc. (“AHP”) since AHP is the primary beneficiary of its operations and has 100% control of AHISP’s operations through its management services agreement with AHISP.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. These interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include (i) estimates of net revenue and accounts receivable, (ii) fair value of acquired assets and liabilities in business combinations and (iii) impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. We classify fair value balances based on the classification of the inputs used to calculate the fair value of a transaction. The three levels related to fair value measurements are as follows:
Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate the carrying amount due to the relatively short maturity or time to maturity of these instruments. Accounts receivable and payable with related parties may not be arms-length transactions and therefore, may not reflect fair value.
10
Except for the initial valuation of intangible assets in connection with the reverse business combination with Clinigence discussed in Note 3 and the impairment of goodwill discussed above, there were no assets or liabilities that were re-measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the periods presented.
Convertible debt. The Company accounts for convertible debt that does not meet the criteria for equity treatment as a liability reported at its amortized cost. The Company classifies convertible debt based on the repayment terms and conditions. Any original issue discounts and costs incurred upon issuance of the convertible debt are amortized to interest expense over the debt term. Convertible debt is also analyzed for the existence of embedded derivatives, which may require bifurcation from the convertible debt and separate accounting treatment.
Segment reporting. A public company is required to report descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments, as defined, are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Aggregation of similar operating segments into a single reportable operating segment is permitted if the businesses have similar economic characteristics and meet established criteria. The Company operates three reportable segments – the hospital division, the population health management division and the real estate division. The real estate division is comprised of the Real Estate Entities.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements. As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we corrected the reported amount of goodwill related to our Merger with Clinigence. We evaluated these matters in accordance with SAB No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and determined that their related impact was not material to our financial statements for any prior annual or interim period. We will correct previously reported financial information for these immaterial matters in our future filings, as applicable. A summary of the revisions to our prior period financial statements is presented below:

Note 3 – Business Combinations
Merger of Nutex Health Holdco LLC and Clinigence Holdings, Inc.
The merger of Nutex Health Holdco LLC and Clinigence was completed pursuant to the Merger Agreement on April 1, 2022. As discussed above, the merger was accounted for as a reverse business combination with Nutex Health Holdco LLC as the accounting acquirer and Clinigence as the accounting acquiree.
The fair value of purchase consideration transferred on the closing date includes the value of the shares of the combined company owned by Clinigence shareholders at closing of the merger and the fair value of Clinigence’s outstanding and exercisable common stock options and warrants as determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value per share of Clinigence’s common stock was $6.40; its traded closing price on April 1, 2022.
Total consideration in the merger is shown below:
Fair value of Clinigence common shares at $6.40 per share (50,961,109 shares) | $ | 326,151,098 | |
Fair value of Clinigence outstanding common stock options and warrants | 110,543,915 | ||
Total consideration | $ | 436,695,013 |
12
The following is the allocation of the total purchase consideration to acquired assets and assumed liabilities including the fair value of identified intangible assets as determined by independent valuation (a level 3 measurement):
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 12,716,228 | |
Accounts receivable, net | 2,127,076 | ||
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 127,384 | ||
Property and equipment, net | 14,793 | ||
Right of use asset, net | 86,989 | ||
Intangible assets, net | 21,668,000 | ||
Goodwill | 414,006,378 | ||
Accounts payable and accrued expenses | (3,966,100) | ||
Deferred revenue | (92,111) | ||
Convertible notes payable, net | (3,771,858) | ||
Term note payable | (674,526) | ||
Lease liability | (91,238) | ||
Deferred tax liability | (5,456,002) | ||
Assets acquired | $ | 436,695,013 |
We made a retrospective change in the valuation of options and warrants assumed by us as part of the total consideration in the merger. This change reduced the fair value of consideration paid and goodwill by $10.3 million.
The intangible assets denoted above each have definite lives. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 16 years. Goodwill arising from the reverse business combination is not tax-deductible. We recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $398.1 million in 2022 to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill arising in the reverse business combination.
The results of operations of Clinigence have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the April 1, 2022 merger date. We expensed $3.9 million of acquisition-related costs for the merger in 2022. These costs consisted principally of legal, accounting and other professional fees for the transaction.
Supplemental Pro Forma Information – The supplemental pro forma financial information presented below is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the merger with Clinigence had been completed on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position. The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The supplemental pro forma financial information reflects pro forma adjustments to present the combined pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022, to give effect to certain events that management believes to be directly attributable to the acquisition. These pro forma adjustments primarily include an increase to depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized due to acquired tangible and intangible assets.

The supplemental pro forma financial information is as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
| 2022 | ||
Revenue | $ | 171,779,408 | |
Net loss attributable to Nutex Health Inc. | (434,709,956) | ||
Basic earnings per share | (0.69) | ||
Diluted earnings per share | (0.69) |
The pro forma income above includes $14.2 million of one-time stock-based compensation expense related to the merger transaction. Pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had these events actually occurred at the beginning of the period presented and is not intended to be a projection of future results.
2023 Acquisitions
On August 1, 2023, the Company acquired two Florida based IPAs for $0.8 million in cash, $0.8 million in Company shares and contingent consideration of up to $0.4 million in cash and $0.5 million in Company shares if the acquired IPAs meet Medicare Lives thresholds in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, we will pay earn-out consideration if certain financial targets are achieved by year end December 31, 2023. Substantially all of the total purchase consideration was allocated to goodwill and identified intangible assets. The acquired IPAs are reported within our Population Health Management division. Management considers this acquisition to be immaterial.
Note 4 – Revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into types of services or products, consistent with our reportable segments, as follows:

Net patient service revenue. We receive payment for facility services rendered by us from federal agencies, private insurance carriers, and patients. The Physician LLCs receive payment for doctor services from these same sources. On average, greater than 90% of our net patient service revenue is paid by insurers, federal agencies, and other non-patient third parties. The remaining revenues are paid by our patients in the form of copays, deductibles, and self-payment. We generally operate as an out-of-network provider and, as such, do not have negotiated reimbursement rates with insurance companies.

The Company completes its contractual performance obligations through providing its customers access to specified data through subscriptions for a service period, and training on consulting associated with the subscriptions. We primarily invoice our customers on a monthly basis and do not provide any refunds, rights of return, or warranties. Deferred revenue is presented as current liabilities and totaled $0.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We expect to recognize revenue for these amounts within the next twelve months.

Consolidated Real Estate Entities have entered into private debt arrangements with banking institutions for purposes of purchasing land, constructing new emergency room facilities and building out leasehold improvements which are leased to our hospital entities. Nutex is a guarantor or, in limited cases, a co-borrower on the debt arrangements of the Real Estate Entities for the periods shown. Since the second quarter of 2022, we have deconsolidated 18 Real Estate Entities after the third-party lenders released our guarantees of associated mortgage loans.
Certain outstanding debt arrangements require minimum debt service coverage ratios and other financial covenants. At September 30, 2023, we were not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio for one term loan with an outstanding balance of $1.0 million. This balance has been included in current liabilities. At September 30, 2023, we had remaining availability of $1.4 million under outstanding lines of credit.
Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (convertible debt). On April 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (the “PPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) pursuant to which the Company may request advances of up to $25.0 million each from Yorkville (or such greater amount that parties may mutually agree) (each, a “Pre-Paid Advance”) for a total of up to $100 million, which will be purchased by Yorkville at 90% of the face amount. The initial Pre-Paid Advance requested was $25 million, $15 million of which was paid on April 11, 2023, with the remaining $10 million to be paid upon mutual agreement of the parties. During the period ending June 30, 2023, the parties mutually agreed not to fund the remaining $10 million of the initial request. Future Pre-Paid Advances, if any, will range from $5 million to $25 million depending on stock price and volume conditions being met, with an aggregate limitation on Pre-Paid Advances of $100.0 million over an 18-months period. At the request and sole discretion of Yorkville, such Pre-Paid Advances will be correspondingly reduced upon the issuance of our Common Stock to Yorkville at a Purchase Price equal to (a) $1.00 in respect of the initial Pre-Paid Advance, and (b) with respect to each subsequent Pre-Paid Advance the lower of (i) 100% of the volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the closing of such Pre-Paid Advance or (ii) 92.0% of the average of the two lowest daily VWAP of the shares during the seven trading days immediately prior to each Pre-Paid Advance, subject to a floor price of $0.1851 per share (“Floor Price”). The issuance of the shares of Common Stock under the PPA is subject
17
to certain limitations, including that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the PPA cannot exceed 19.9% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of April 11, 2023 (“Exchange Cap”). Additionally, Yorkville may not request issuances of Common Stock with respect to the initial Pre-Paid Advance in excess of $7.5 million in any consecutive 30-day period. Further Yorkville may not request the issuance of Common Stock if such issuance would result in Yorkville (and its affiliates) beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 0% subject to an increase to 15% upon events of default described in the PPA. Each Pre-Paid Advance has a maturity date of 12 months from the Pre-Paid Advance Date.
The PPA provides that in respect of any Pre-Paid Advance, if the VWAP of shares of Common Stock is less than the Floor Price for at least five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days or the Company has issued substantially all of the shares of Common Stock available under the Exchange Cap, then the Company is required to make monthly cash payments of amounts outstanding under any Pre-Paid Advance beginning on the third trading day after the triggering date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until the entire amount of such Pre-Paid Advance balance has been paid or until the payment obligation ceases. Pursuant to the PPA, the monthly payment obligation ceases if the Exchange Cap no longer applies or the VWAP is greater than 120% of the Floor Price for a period of five consecutive trading days, unless a subsequent triggering date occurs.
The Company, at its option, has the right, but not the obligation, to repay early in cash a portion or all amounts outstanding under any Pre-Paid Advance, provided that the VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Fixed Price during a period of ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date on which the Company delivers a notice to Yorkville of its intent and such notice is delivered at least 10 trading days prior to the date on which the Company will make such payment (“Optional Prepayment”). If elected, the Optional Prepayment includes a 6% payment premium (“Payment Premium”). If any Pre-Paid Advances are outstanding and any event of default has occurred, the full amount outstanding under the Pre-Paid Advances plus the Payment Premium, together with interest and other amounts owed in respect thereof, will become, at Yorkville’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.
On April 11, 2023, the Company requested a $15.0 million initial Pre-Paid Advance in accordance with the PPA. The net proceeds of $13.5 million received by the Company from Yorkville reflect a 10% discount of $1.5 million in accordance with the PPA. Additionally, in connection with the PPA, the Company incurred $0.9 million in placement and legal fees, which the Company classifies as debt issuance costs. The discount and the debt issuance costs are reported as a direct deduction from the face amount of the PPA and are amortized monthly based on the effective interest rate method. The amortization of the discount and debt issuance costs are reported as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Since the receipt of the initial Pre-Paid Advance, 15.5 million shares of Common Stock have been issued to Yorkville, reducing the principal of initial Pre-Paid Advance by $5.9 million. Additionally, on June 22, 2023, the Company made an Optional Prepayment of $3.7 million in accordance with the PPA, consisting of $3.5 million of principal and $0.2 million attributed to the Payment Premium. As of September 30, 2023, the net carrying amount of the PPA is $5.1 million and is presented in current portion of long-term debt within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. The net carrying amount of $5.1 million is composed of $5.6 million in principal and $(0.5) million in discount and debt issuance costs.
Interest expense incurred under the PPA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which was the result of the amortization and reductions due to conversions and repayments. The effective interest rate for the PPA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 19.4%.
As of September 30, 2023, there were 114.3 million of additional shares of Common Stock issuable under the Exchange Cap.
September 2023 Convertible Debt Issuance. On September 2023, the Company commenced a private offering (the “September 2023 Private Offering”) of up to $15.0 million pursuant to which the Company will issue investment units (the “Units”) at $50,000 per Unit to accredited investors (the “Unit Holder”) as defined in Rule 501 under the 1933 Act. Each Unit consists of (a) an interest-bearing unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Unsecured Convertible Term
18
Notes”) in the principal amount of $50,000 convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share and (b) a
-year warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 62,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The Notes mature on October 31, 2025 and the Warrants expire on December 31, 2029.The Unsecured Convertible Term Notes bear an annual interest rate of 8% if paid in cash or an annual interest rate of 10% if paid in the form of common stock. The payment of interest in the form of common stock is at the discretion of the Company. When paid in common stock, the number of shares is equal to the quotient of the total accrued interest due divided by the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the last complete trading day of such quarter. The Unit Holders have the option, at any time, to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal and interest outstanding in common stock at the conversion price of $0.40 per share. If the Company fails to pay the outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest within 30 days of the maturity date, the interest rate payable is adjusted to 12%.
The Company appointed Emerson Equity LLC (“Emerson”) as placement agent for the September 2023 Private Offering. Per the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company agrees to pay (i) a cash commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Units and (ii) warrants to purchase a number of Common Stock equal to 20% of the total number of Units.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received net cash proceeds of $0.9 million. The net cash proceeds after the placement agent fees were allocated between the convertible debt and warrants based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model. Key assumptions included a risk-free interest rate of 4.60%, historical volatility of 123.8% and expected term of the warrants of six years. A total of $0.1 million was recorded to equity for the warrants. The discount on the convertible debt totaled $0.3 million and will be amortized to interest expense over the period until maturity. The effective interest rate on the convertible debt is 25.08%.
Clinigence convertible notes payable. We assumed $5.4 million principal of convertible notes payable of Clinigence outstanding at the merger date. The convertible notes payable were fully converted into 3,474,430 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.55 per share before their maturity on July 31, 2022. Debt discount totaling $1.7 million was accreted over four months to the maturity date of the convertible notes payable.

Litigation. From time to time, the Company, its consolidated subsidiaries or VIEs may be named in various claims and legal actions in the normal course of business. Based upon counsel and management’s opinion, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 11 – Stock-based Compensation
In 2022, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated Nutex Health Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2022 Plan is 5,000,000 shares, subject to increases on January 1st of each calendar year through January 1, 2027 of up to 5% annually at the discretion of the compensation committee of our Board of Directors. A total of 1,248,072 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) of the Company were available for issuance under the 2022 Plan at September 30, 2023. On June 29, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the Amended and Restated Nutex Health Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) and an additional 8,751,928 new shares of Common Stock were made available for issuance under the 2023 Plan, which replaces the 2022 Plan. On September 30, 2023, a total of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance under the 2023 Plan.
Awards granted under the 2023 Plan may be incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units or performance shares. The awards are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.
Obligations for under-construction and ramping hospitals. Under the terms of the Contribution Agreements, contributing owners of the under-construction hospitals and ramping hospitals are eligible to receive a one-time additional issuance of Company common stock.
● | With respect to ramping hospitals, 24 months after the opening date (the “Determination Date”) of the applicable ramping hospital, such owner is eligible to receive such owner’s pro rata share of a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to (i) the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization on the respective Determination Date, multiplied by (ii) 10, (iii) minus the initial equity value received at the Closing of the Merger, and (iv) minus such owner’s pro rata share of the aggregate debt of the applicable ramping hospital outstanding as of the closing of the Merger. The number of additional shares to be issued will be determined based on the greater of (a) the price of the Company’s common stock at the time of determination or (b) $2.80. |
● | With respect to under construction hospitals, contributing owners of under construction hospitals will be eligible to receive, on the Determination Date, such owner’s pro rata share of a number of shares of Company common stock equal to (a)(i) the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as of the Determination Date multiplied by (ii) 10, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of such owner’s capital contribution to the under construction hospital, minus (iv) such owner’s pro rata share of the aggregate debt of the applicable under construction hospital outstanding as of the Closing of the Merger, divided by (b) the greater of (i) the price of the Company common stock at the time of determination or (ii) $2.80. |
We have not recognized any expense for this stock-based compensation based on our current estimates of future obligations to the contributing owners.

Restricted Stock Units. On April 1, 2023, the Company issued 604,158 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), valued at $0.6 million to certain employees. Total of 214,719 RSU Common Shares vested on April 1, 2023, another 194,719 common shares will vest on March 1, 2024 and another 194,719 common shares will vest on March 1, 2025.
For grants of restricted stock units, we recognize compensation expense over the applicable vesting period equal to the fair value of our common stock at grant date. Grants of restricted stock units generally vest
third per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The following table summarizes the changes in restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.21

As of September 30, 2023, we estimate $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units issued to our employees to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of 1.1 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In May 2023, the Board of Directors adopted the 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2023 ESPP”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders and became effective in June 2023. The 2023 ESPP authorizes the initial issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to eligible employees, who are entitled to purchase shares of common stock equal to 85% of the closing price on the purchase date with accumulated payroll deductions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not issue any shares under the ESPP.
Note 12 – Equity
We are authorized to issue up to a total of 950,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.001 per share. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and to receive ratably in proportion to the shares of common stock held by them any dividends declared from time to time by the board of directors. Our common stock has no preferences or rights of conversion, exchange, pre-exemption or other subscription rights.
Common Stock Issued. Following is a discussion of common stock issuances during the periods presented. See Note 8 – Debt for issuances that were registered on the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933. All issuances referenced below were unregistered and were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section 4(a)(2).
● | At the time of the Merger, Clinigence had 50,961,109 common shares outstanding. These amounts are shown as issued by us in the presentation of consolidated financial statements as the accounting acquiror. |
● | In March 2023, we issued 1,000,000 common shares to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. for IPA managerial services. We recognized $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense for this issuance. This expense should have been recognized on December 31, 2022. However, we consider this expense not material for revision and thus, it is presented as an out-of-period adjustment in the 2023 financial statements. |
● | On August 1, 2023, we issued 2,541,511 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of two Florida IPAs. See Note 3 for discussion of 2023 Acquisitions. |

Note 13 – Income Taxes
Income tax provisions for interim quarterly periods are generally based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items related specifically to interim periods. The income tax impact of discrete items is recognized in the period these occur.
In periods before the merger with Clinigence, Nutex Health Holdco LLC and the Nutex Subsidiaries were pass-through entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes was provided for these periods as federal taxes were obligations of these companies’ members. After the merger, Nutex Health Holdco LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinigence and is included in its consolidated corporate tax filings. We recognized a non-cash charge of $20.8 million to income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022 for the change in tax status of Nutex Health Holdco LLC. This charge provides for the accumulated net deferred tax liabilities representing the differences between the book and tax bases of Nutex Health Holdco LLC’s assets and liabilities as of the April 1, 2022 change in tax status.
At the time of our merger with Clinigence, Clinigence had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a non-cash benefit of $2.4 million to income tax expense to remove the acquired valuation allowance after we concluded that the associated deferred tax assets would be realizable.
Excluding the discrete items above and excluding the non-deductible goodwill impairment, our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 25.3% and 26.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 7.0% and 11.6%, respectively. The primary difference from the federal statutory rate of 21% is related to state taxes, income of noncontrolling interests in flow-through entities and permanent differences for non-deductible expenses.

The dilutive effect of convertible debt was calculated using the if-converted method, whereas the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants was calculated using the treasury stock method.

Note 16 – Segment Information
We report the results of our operations as three segments in our consolidated financial statements: (i) the hospital division, (ii) the population health management division and (ii) the real estate division. The determination of our reporting segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities, which corresponds to the manner in which our Chief Executive Officer, as our chief operating decision maker, reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated. We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on, among other measures, operating income, which is defined as income before interest expense, other income (expense), and taxes.

Note 17 – Related Party Transactions
Related party transactions included the following:
● | The Physician LLCs employ the doctors who work in our hospitals. We have no direct ownership interest in these entities but they are owned and, in some instances, controlled by related parties including our CEO, Dr. Thomas Vo. The Physician LLCs are consolidated by the Company as VIEs because they do not have significant equity at risk, and we have historically provided support to them in the event of cash shortages and received the benefit of their cash surpluses. |
In connection with the merger with Clinigence, we forgave certain amounts due from Physician LLCs for past advances made by us in support of their operations. We recognized net expense of $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. No such expense was recognized subsequently.
The Physician LLCs had outstanding obligations to their member owners, who are also Company stockholders, totaling $4.0 million at September 30, 2023 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2022 reported within accounts payable – related party in our consolidated balance sheets.
● | Most of our hospital division facilities are leased from real estate entities which are owned by related parties. These leases are typically on a triple net basis where our hospital division is responsible for all operating costs, repairs and taxes on the facilities. Our obligations under these leases are presented in Note 9. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we made cash payments for these lease obligations totaling $3.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively. Cash payments for these lease obligations made in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $3.7 million and $9.9 million, respectively. |
26
● | We consolidate Real Estate Entities as VIEs when they do not have sufficient equity at risk and our hospital entities are guarantors or co-borrowers under their outstanding mortgage loans. The consolidated Real Estate Entities have mortgage loans payable to third parties which are collateralized by the land and buildings. We have no direct ownership interest in these entities but they are owned and, in some instances, controlled by related parties including our CEO. We deconsolidated 17 Real Estate Entities in the second quarter of 2022 and one Real Estate Entity in the first quarter of 2023. At September 30, 2023, two Real Estate Entities continue to be consolidated in our financial statements. |
In connection with the merger with Clinigence, we forgave certain amounts due from Real Estate Entities for past advances made by us. We recognized net expense totaling $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. No such expense was recognized subsequently.
● | Accounts receivable – related party included $1.5 million at September 30, 2023 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2022 due from noncontrolling interest owners of consolidated ER Entities. |
● | Micro Hospital Holding LLC, an affiliate controlled by our CEO, made advances to one of our hospital facilities, SE Texas ER. These advances totaled $1.4 million at September 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022 and are reported as accounts payable – related party in our consolidated balance sheets. The advances have no stated maturity and bear no interest. |
● | Accounts payable – related party in our consolidated balance sheets included $0.7 million at September 30, 2023 and $0.1 million at December 31, 2022 for reimbursement of expenses incurred on our behalf. |
● | We provide managerial services to emergency centers owned and, in some instances, controlled by related parties including an entity controlled by our CEO. We recognized $0.1 million and $0.5 million of managerial fees within the hospital division in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 for these services. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of revenue for these services. |
● | Two of our ER Entities are obligated under managerial services agreements with related parties commencing in 2022. Payments under these agreements totaled $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.1 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. |

The assets of each of the ER Entities may only be used to settle the liabilities of that entity or its consolidated VIEs and may not be required to be used to settle the liabilities of any of the other ER Entities, other VIEs, or corporate entity. Additionally, the assets of corporate entities cannot be used to settle the liabilities of VIEs. The Company has aggregated all of the Physician LLCs and Real Estate Entities into two categories above, because they have similar risk characteristics, and presenting distinct financial information for each VIE would not add more useful information.
Real Estate Entities are consolidated by the Company as VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk and our hospital entities are guarantors of their outstanding mortgage loans. We have been working with the third-party lenders to remove our guarantees of their outstanding mortgage loans. As these guarantees are released, the associated Real Estate Entity no longer qualifies as a VIE and is deconsolidated. We deconsolidated 17 Real Estate Entities in the second
28
quarter of 2022 and one Real Estate Entity in the first quarter of 2023. There was no gain or loss on the deconsolidation of these entities. As of September 30, 2023, two Real Estate Entities continue to be consolidated in our financial statements.
At the date we deconsolidated these Real Estate Entities in the second quarter of 2022, they had $2.4 million of cash, $9.8 million of fixed assets (principally land and building), $0.5 million of other assets, $69.6 million of liabilities (principally mortgage indebtedness) and $31.4 million of equity reported as noncontrolling interests.
The Real Estate Entity we deconsolidated in the first quarter of 2023 had $1.0 million of cash, $8.4 million of fixed assets (principally land and building), $0.2 million of other assets, $5.4 million of liabilities (principally mortgage indebtedness) and $4.3 million of equity reported as noncontrolling interests as of the date of deconsolidation.
Note 19 - Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this report and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except the following:
Subsequent to the end of the period through the date of the report, in connection with the September 2023 Convertible Debt Issuance, the Company received additional net cash proceeds of $3.1 million.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Explanatory Note
On April 1, 2022 (the “Merger Date”), Nutex Health Holdco LLC and Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“Clinigence”) completed the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of November 23, 2021 between Clinigence, Nutex Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinigence, Nutex, Micro Hospital Holding LLC (solely for the purposes of certain sections of the Merger Agreement), Nutex Health Holdco LLC and Thomas Vo, M.D., solely in his capacity as the representative of the equity holders of Nutex. Immediately following the completion of the Merger, Clinigence amended its certificate of incorporation and bylaws to change its name to “Nutex Health Inc.” In connection with the Merger, each outstanding equity interest of Nutex Health Holdco LLC was exchanged for 3.571428575 shares of Clinigence common stock. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse business combination under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, Nutex Health Holdco LLC was treated as the accounting acquirer in the Merger. Our financial statements presented for periods prior to the Merger Date are those of Nutex Health Holdco, LLC, as the Company’s predecessor entity. Beginning with the second quarter of 2022, our financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include Clinigence.
Except where the context indicates otherwise, (i) references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer, for periods prior to the completion of the Merger, to Nutex Health Holdco LLC and its subsidiaries, (ii) references the “Nutex Health” for periods following the completion of the Merger, refer to Nutex Health Inc. and its subsidiaries and (iii) references to “Clinigence” refer to Clinigence Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the completion of the Merger.
Overview
Nutex Health Inc. is a physician-led, healthcare services and operations company with 22 hospital facilities in eight states (hospital division), and a primary care-centric, risk-bearing population health management division. Our hospital division implements and operates different innovative health care models, including micro-hospitals, specialty hospitals and hospital outpatient departments (“HOPDs”). The population health management division owns and operates provider networks such as independent physician associations (“IPAs”) and offers a cloud-based proprietary technology platform to IPAs which aggregates clinical and claims data across multiple settings, information systems and sources to create a holistic view of patients and providers.
We employ approximately 800 full time employees and partner with over 900 physicians. Our corporate headquarters is based in Houston, Texas. We were incorporated on April 13, 2000 in the state of Delaware.
Our financial statements present the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations including those of majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary.
The hospital division includes our healthcare billing and collections organization and hospital entities. In addition, we have financial and operating relationships with multiple professional entities (the “Physician LLCs”) and real estate entities (the “Real Estate Entities”). The Physician LLCs employ the doctors who work in our hospitals. These entities are consolidated by the Company as VIEs because they do not have significant equity at risk, and we have historically provided support to the Physician LLCs in the event of cash shortages and received the benefit of their cash surpluses.
The Real Estate Entities own the land and hospital buildings which are leased to our hospital entities. The Real Estate Entities have mortgage loans payable to third parties which are collateralized by the land and buildings. We consolidate the Real Estate Entities as VIEs in instances where our hospital entities are guarantors or co-borrowers under their outstanding mortgage loans. Since the second quarter of 2022, we deconsolidated 18 Real Estate Entities after the third-party lenders released our guarantees of associated mortgage loans.
30
The Company has no direct or indirect ownership interest in the Physician LLCs or Real Estate Entities, so 100% of the equity for these entities is shown as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.
The population health management division includes our management services organizations and a healthcare information technology company providing a cloud-based platform for healthcare organizations. In addition, AHISP, IPA, a physician-affiliated entity that is not owned by us—is consolidated as a VIE of our wholly-owned subsidiary AHP since we are the primary beneficiary of their operations under AHP’s management services contracts with them.
On August 1, 2023, the Company acquired two Florida based IPAs for $0.8 million in cash, $0.8 million in Company shares and contingent consideration of up to $0.4 million in cash and $0.5 million in Company shares if the acquired IPAs meet Medicare Lives thresholds in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, we will pay earn-out consideration if certain financial targets are achieved by year end December 31, 2023. Substantially all of the purchase consideration was allocated to goodwill and identified intangible assets. The acquired IPAs are reported within our Population Health Management division. Management considers this acquisition to be immaterial.
Sources of revenue. Our hospital division recognizes net patient service revenue for contracts with patients and in most cases a third-party payor (commercial insurance, workers compensation insurance or, in limited cases, Medicare/Medicaid).
We receive payment for facility services rendered by us from federal agencies, private insurance carriers, and patients. The Physician LLCs receive payment for doctor services from these same sources. On average, greater than 90% of our net patient service revenue are paid by insurers, federal agencies, and other non-patient third parties. The remaining revenues are paid by our patients in the form of copays, deductibles, and self-payment. The following tables present the allocation of the estimated transaction price with the patient between the primary patient classification of insurance coverage:

The population health management division recognizes revenue for capitation and management fees for services to IPAs and physician groups and for the licensing, training, and consulting related to our cloud-based proprietary technology. Capitation revenue consists primarily of capitated fees for medical services provided by physician-owned entities we consolidate as VIEs. Capitated arrangements made directly with various managed care providers including HMOs. Capitation revenues are typically prepaid monthly to us based on the number of enrollees selecting us as their healthcare provider. Capitation is a fixed payment amount per patient per unit of time paid in advance for the delivery of health care services, whereby the service providers are generally liable for excess medical costs. We receive management fees that are received based on gross capitation revenues of the IPAs or physician groups we manage.
Our growth plans. We plan to expand our operations by entering new market areas either through development of new hospitals, formation of new IPAs or by making acquisitions. In 2023, we have opened healthcare facilities in Fort Smith (Arkansas), Alhambra (California), Royce City (Texas), Albuquerque (New Mexico) and Mandeville (Louisiana).
We identify new market areas for hospitals based on the area’s need for access to emergency health services and growth expectations. We identify and partner with local physicians who will operate and manage the new location. When developing new hospitals, we have a turn-key process for location selection, real estate acquisition, design, and development of the facility including staffing, training and operations. We extend our existing comprehensive suite of
31
centralized services to operating hospitals, including executive management, billing, collections, recruiting and marketing.
Overview of Legislative Developments
The U.S. Congress and many state legislatures have introduced and passed a large number of proposals and legislation designed to make major changes in the healthcare system, including changes that have impacted access to health insurance. The most prominent of these efforts, the Affordable Care Act, affects how healthcare services are covered, delivered and reimbursed. The Affordable Care Act increased health insurance coverage through a combination of public program expansion and private sector health insurance reforms. There is uncertainty regarding the ongoing net effect of the Affordable Care Act due to the potential for continued changes to the law’s implementation and its interpretation by government agencies and courts. There is also uncertainty regarding the potential impact of other health reform efforts at the federal and state levels.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal and state governments passed legislation, promulgated regulations, and have taken other administrative actions intended to assist healthcare providers in providing care to COVID-19 and other patients during the public health emergency and to provide financial relief. Among these, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) had the most impact on our business.
The CARES Act included a waiver of insurance copayments, coinsurance, and annual deductibles for laboratory tests to diagnose COVID-19 and visits to diagnose COVID-19 at an emergency department of a hospital. These provisions of the CARES Act expired on June 30, 2021. While these provisions were effective, we experienced higher levels of revenue due to a shift of payor mix. The larger number and acuity of patient claims for COVID-19 also resulted in higher revenue.
No Surprises Act
The No Surprises Act (“NSA”) is a federal law that took effect January 1, 2022, to protect consumers from most instances of “surprise” balance billing. With respect to the Company, the NSA limits the amount an insured patient will pay for emergency services furnished by an out-of-network provider. The NSA addresses the payment of these out-of-network providers by group health plans or health insurance issuers (collectively, “insurers”). In particular, the NSA requires insurers to reimburse out-of-network providers at a statutorily calculated “out-of-network rate.” In states without an all-payor model agreement or specified state law, the out-of-network rate is either the amount agreed to by the insurer and the out-of-network provider or an amount determined through an independent dispute resolution (“IDR”) process.
Under the NSA, insurers must issue an initial payment or notice of denial of payment to a provider within thirty days after the provider submits a bill for an out-of-network service. If the provider disagrees with the insurer’s determination, the provider may initiate a thirty-day period of open negotiation with the insurer over the claim. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute through negotiation, the parties may then proceed to IDR arbitration.
Independent Dispute Resolution. The provider and insurer each submits a proposed payment amount and explanation to the arbitrator. The arbitrator must select one of the two proposed payment amounts taking into account the “qualifying payment amount” and additional circumstances including among other things the level of training, outcomes measurements of the facility, the acuity of the individual treated, and the case mix and scope of services of the facility providing the service. The NSA prohibits the arbitrator from considering the provider’s usual and customary charges for an item or service, or the amount the provider would have billed for the item or service in the absence of the NSA.
Qualifying Payment Amount. The “qualifying payment amount” or “QPA” is generally “the median of the contracted rates recognized by the plan or issuer under such plans or coverage, respectively, on January 31, 2019, for the same or a similar item or service that is provided by a provider in the same or similar specialty and provided in the geographic region in which the items or service is furnished,” with annual increases based on the consumer price index. In other words, the qualifying payment amount is typically the median rate the insurer would have paid for the service if provided by an in-network provider or facility.
32
HHS Final Rule. As required by the NSA, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) has established an IDR process under which a certified IDR entity determines the ultimate amount of payment. The HHS’ final rule became effective October 25, 2022. The final rule eliminated the rebuttable presumption that the qualified payment amount is the correct price and also abandoned the requirement that the certified IDR entity must select the offer closest to the qualifying payment amount. These key provisions were initially part of the interim rule issued in 2021 and were challenged by several court cases. Under the final rule, the certified IDR entity must instead select the offer that best reflects the value of the item or service provided, by first considering the QPA and then considering “additional information” that is relevant to the dispute.
The Texas Medical Association on November 30, 2022 filed an additional lawsuit (“TMA III”) challenging how insurers are establishing the QPA under the final rules, alleging that the final rules allow insurers to include what is referred to in the healthcare industry as “ghost rates,” which are rates included in contracts with providers who do not actually provide the specified service and as a result are lower than rates a provider would have incentive to meaningfully negotiate, thus artificially lowering the QPA. According to the Texas Medical Association, this practice stands in violation of the congressional definition of the QPA as the median of the contracted rates recognized by the plan or insurer for the same or similar item or service that is provided by a provider in the same or similar specialty in the same geographic region.
On August 24, 2023, the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas in TMA III ruled to vacate several aspects of the regulations mandating the methodology for the QPA calculation. In particular, the court prohibited the inclusion of “ghost rates” as part of the QPA calculation and QPA calculations that are not based on the same or similar specialty. This is the 4th time the federal court has ruled in favor of the Texas Medical Association effective nationwide. In its FAQs dated October 6, 2023, the Department of Labor states that the Department of Justice intends to appeal the court’s ruling.
Since the NSA became effective January 1, 2022, our average payment by insurers of patient claims for emergency services has declined by approximately 26%. In our experience, insurers often initially pay amounts lower than the QPA without regard for other information relevant to the claim. This requires us to make more appeals using the IDR process. While we are working within the established processes for IDR, we have had varying successes at achieving collections higher than the established QPA.
On March 17, 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued new guidance (“Guidance”) applicable to the independent dispute resolution (“IDR”) process in the NSA effective for payment determinations made on or after February 6, 2023 for items and services furnished on or after October 25, 2022 for plan years (in the individual market, policy years) beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The revisions were put in place to help balance the arbitration process by including the recent Texas Medical Association Court Order and removing “double counting” provisions. From now on, independent arbiters must consider all evidence given to them by the disputing parties, and not just the Qualified Payment Amount (QPA).
Under the Guidance, Certified IDR Entities now must consider:
● | QPA(s) for the applicable year for the qualified IDR item or service; and |
● | other information submitted by a party as long as it does not contain prohibited factors. |
Generally, parties may submit additional information regarding any of the circumstances of the services provided. Under the Guidance, the certified IDR entity now must consider all information submitted to determine the appropriate payment rate. Previously, there was a rebuttable presumption that the QPA was the appropriate payment amount, and the IDR entity was not required to consider any additional factors. This news comes as a major win for Nutex Health and other providers’ quest to make the arbitration process more equitable and straightforward.
After being suspended for services rendered after October 25, 2022, IDR entities on March 17, 2023 were instructed to resume payments. However, on August 4, 2023, the HHS and CMS again temporarily suspended the federal IDR process, including the ability to initiate new disputes, until the HHS and CMS can provide new instructions in response to the summary judgement granted by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on August 3, 2023 in
33
favor of the Texas Medical Association vacating the HHS’ December 2022 decision to increase, without notice, the administrative fee required to initiate IDR arbitration from $50 to $350. The IDR process resumed on September 5, 2023. We anticipate that this additional favorable court ruling will further enhance the fairness of the reimbursement process under the NSA.
On October 6, 2023, CMS announced new guidance in response to the August 2023 ruling in TMA III vacating several provisions of the existing NSA regulations. In the announcement, the Departments state that while they disagree with the court’s ruling, the QPA calculations must now be made in good faith in accordance with the NSA and applicable rules currently in effect, with no additional guidance provided by the Departments and a suspension of any enforcement until at least May 1, 2024, to give the insurers adequate time to comply with the TMA III court ruling. Our management team is actively working with legislatures, the Administration, and the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) to request CMS to promptly issue specific guidance on health plan obligations to calculate QPAs in line with the federal district court ruling and issue additional instructions to certified IDR entities on how to evaluate QPAs that are based on an invalidated methodology.
On October 27, 2023, the Departments of HHS, Labor, and the Treasury, along with the Office of Personnel Management, released a proposed rule on the NSA’s Federal IDR process. The proposed rules would allow: better communication between health plans and providers, open negotiations through a centralized Federal IDR portal, improved IDR eligibility determinations and batching ability of claims. We do not know when and in what form these proposed rules will be implemented, however, we feel that this is a favorable step in the right direction to repair the faulty implementation of the NSA.
We are supportive of industry efforts seeking to amend the NSA final rule. Our experience, like that of many other healthcare providers, is that the final rule, as currently in effect, continues to unfairly favor insurers in the determination of the QPA we receive for our healthcare services. It is difficult to predict the outcome of efforts to challenge or amend the final rule. As well, there can be no assurance that third-party payors will not attempt to further reduce the rates they pay for our services or that additional rules issued under the NSA will not have adverse consequences to our business.
Recent Developments
NASDAQ Letter. On May 22, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, for the prior thirty (30) consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until November 20, 2023, to regain compliance. The letter states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) if at any time before November 20, 2023 (the “Compliance Period”), the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. The Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock.
The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the bid price for its shares of common stock between now and the expiration of the Compliance Period and will consider all available options to resolve the deficiency with every intention to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
If the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by November 20, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, for example, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such a notification, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination to delist its securities. There can be no
34
assurance that the Company will be eligible for the additional 180 calendar day compliance period, if applicable, or that the Nasdaq staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification.
Results of Operations
We report the results of our operations as three segments in our consolidated financial statements: (i) the hospital division, (ii) the population health management division and (ii) the real estate division. Activity within our business segments is significantly impacted by demand for healthcare services we provide, competition for these services in each of the market areas we serve, and the legislative changes discussed above.

We reported a net loss attributable to Nutex Health Inc. of $5.5 million, or a loss of $0.01 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with net loss attributable to Nutex Health Inc. of $412.2 million, or a loss of $0.62 per share, for same period of 2022. The net loss for the third quarter of 2022 includes a $398.1 million goodwill impairment. Our 2023 results were principally affected by:
● | Higher patient visits, increasing by 2.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with the same period of 2022 due mostly to the opening of three facilities in the quarter; |
● | Decrease in revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2022 caused by legislative changes reducing the amounts we are able to collect for patient services to median in-network rates, totaling approximately $29.0 million; and |
● | Goodwill impairment expense recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $398.1 million. |

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.3 million as compared to a loss of $15.7 million for the comparable period of 2022. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussed below for a definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA. The items affecting revenue contributed significantly to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the 2023 period.
A discussion of our segment results is included below.
Hospital Division. Our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $54.6 million as compared to $21.2 million for the same period of 2022. The increase in revenue was attributed to a decrease in revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2022 caused by legislative changes reducing the amounts we are able to collect for patient services to median in-network rates, totaling approximately $29.0 million, as well as the closing of underperforming facilities and opening of new facilities impacting the third quarter of 2023.
The following table shows the number of patient visits during the periods:
Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||
Patient visits: | | |||||
Hospital | | 37,443 | 36,500 |
Total patient visits increased 2.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with the same period of 2022 due mostly to the opening of three facilities in the quarter which are in the ramp-up stage.
The hospital division’s operating income was $7.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with an operating loss of $23.7 million in the same period of 2022, an increase of 130%. Our revenue and operating income for the third quarter of 2022 was adversely affected by the reduction in net revenue discussed above. Our operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was positively affected by a reduction in operating costs. We renegotiated contract personnel agreements to better align with our operations. We have made significant progress with the IDR process for both the NSA (Federal) as well as the Texas Department of Insurance. We have made a significant investment in the revenue cycle team to address this IDR process. In the three months ending September 30, 2023, revenue per patient for the period is trending favorably compared to the same period in 2022.
Population Health Management Division. Our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $8.1 million as compared with $7.2 million for the same period of 2022. The increase was due to higher capitation revenue earned.
The population health management division had $0.2 million of operating loss for the three months ended
September 30, 2023 as compared with $0.1 million of operating income for the same period of 2022. Strategically, we are focused on the growth of this division principally through the addition of new independent physician associations and have staffed our organization to manage larger numbers of such organizations. In August 2023, we completed the acquisition of two IPAs in Florida.
Real Estate Division. This division reports the operations of consolidated Real Estate Entities where we provide guarantees of their indebtedness or are co-borrowers.
Revenue and operating expenses of consolidated Real Estate Entities are not significant since the extent of these entities’ operations is to own facilities leased to our hospital division entities which are financed by a combination of contributed equity by related parties and third-party mortgage indebtedness. Such leases are typically on a triple net basis where our hospital division is responsible for all operating costs, repairs and taxes on the facilities. Finance lease income is recognized outside of segment operating income as other income by the Real Estate Entities. However, these amounts are largely eliminated in the consolidation of these entities into our financial statements.
At September 30, 2023, two Real Estate Entities continue to be consolidated in our financial statements. We expect that hospitals we open in the future may be leased from new Real Estate Entities which may be owned in whole or part by
36
related parties. Third-party lenders to these entities may require that we provide a guarantee or become co-borrowers under mortgage indebtedness financings for such facilities. In such instances, we may be required to consolidate these new Real Estate Entities in our financial statements as VIEs.
Corporate and other costs. Corporate and other costs in the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $7.9 million as compared to $405.0 million for the same period of 2022. We recorded an impairment expense of $398.1 million to goodwill during the third quarter of 2022. General and administrative costs include our executive management, accounting, human resources, corporate technology, insurance and professional fees. We have incurred higher levels of professional fees as a public company. We recognized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of RSUs.
Nonoperating items
Interest expense. Interest expense totaled $4.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with $3.4 million for the same period of 2022. The increase in interest expense for the 2023 period is principally due to discount amortization expense associated with the Pre-paid Advance Agreement.
Income tax expense. Income tax provisions for interim quarterly periods are generally based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items related specifically to interim periods. The income tax impact of discrete items is recognized in the period these occur.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately 7.0%. Excluding discrete items, our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 25.3%. The primary difference from the federal statutory rate of 21% is related to state taxes, income of noncontrolling interests in flow-through entities and permanent differences for non-deductible expenses.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
We reported a net loss attributable to Nutex Health Inc. of $14.2 million, or a loss of $0.02 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with net loss attributable to Nutex Health Inc. of $410.0 million, or a loss of $0.65 per diluted share, for same period of 2022. The net loss for the third quarter of 2022 includes a $398.1 million goodwill impairment. Our 2023 results were principally affected by:
● | A reduction in net revenue from lower patient visits, which decreased by 15.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with the same period of 2022, due mostly to decreased COVID-19 visits; |
● | Issuance in March 2023 of 1,000,000 common shares for total expense of $1.9 million to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. for IPA managerial services; |
● | Higher interest expense in the 2023 period principally as a result of the Yorkville Pre-paid Advance issuance; |
● | A non-cash impairment charge in the 2022 period of $398.1 million to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill for the population health management division reporting unit acquired in the reverse business combination; and |
● | Decrease in revenue in the 2022 period caused by legislative changes reducing the amounts we are able to collect for patient services to median in-network rates, totaling approximately $38.6 million. |
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $7.7 million as compared to $18.5 million for the comparable period of 2022. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussed below for a definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA. The items affecting revenue contributed significantly to the decline in Adjusted EBITDA in the 2023 period.
A discussion of our segment results is included below.
Hospital Division. Our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 ended totaled $155.5 million as compared to $152.0 million for the same period of 2022, an increase of 2% caused by an improvement collection amounts per patient.
37
The following table shows the number of patient visits during the periods:
Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||
Patient visits: | | |||||
Hospital | | 102,798 | 121,414 |
Total patient visits decreased 15.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with the same period of 2022. Patient visits in the 2022 period included significant volumes of COVID-19 related cases. Despite the decrease in patient visits, revenue increased due to our continued improvement in collection efforts throughout 2023 along with a shift acuity of our patient visits, generating high gross charges.
The hospital division’s operating income was $21.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared with income of $19.0 million in the same period of 2022, an increase of 11%. Our operating income for the first nine months of 2023 was positively affected by an increase in net revenue. We have made significant progress with the IDR process for both the NSA (Federal) as well as the Texas Department of Insurance. Our operating income was adversely impacted by additional incurred cost of $1.4 million in 2023 for four new locations opened in 2023. Start-up and operating costs at new facilities often exceed our revenue at these facilities until they achieve sustaining volumes of patient visits.
Population Health Management Division. We completed our reverse business combination with Clinigence in April 2022. Clinigence’s operations are reported as the population health management division. Our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $22.5 million consisting of capitation revenue of $19.5 million, management fees of $2.1 million and SaaS revenue of $0.8 million. Capitation revenue is recognized by our consolidated VIE, AHISP. We do not have an equity interest in this VIE but consolidate it since we are the primary beneficiary of its operations under our management services contract with them. We also earn management fees under our management services contracts with other IPAs and MSOs which are reported as revenue.
The population health management division had $0.4 million of operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Strategically, we are focused on the growth of this division principally through the addition of new independent physician associations and have staffed our organization to manage larger numbers of such organizations. In August 2023, we completed the acquisition two IPAs in Florida.
Real Estate Division. This division reports the operations of consolidated Real Estate Entities where we provide guarantees of their indebtedness or are co-borrowers. During the first nine months of 2023, we deconsolidated one Real Estate Entities after the third-party lenders released our guarantees of associated mortgage loans.
Revenue and operating expenses of consolidated Real Estate Entities are not significant since the extent of these entities’ operations is to own facilities leased to our hospital division entities which are financed by a combination of contributed equity by related parties and third-party mortgage indebtedness. Such leases are typically on a triple net basis where our hospital division is responsible for all operating costs, repairs and taxes on the facilities. Finance lease income is recognized outside of segment operating income as other income by the Real Estate Entities. However, these amounts are largely eliminated in the consolidation of these entities into our financial statements.
At September 30, 2023, two Real Estate Entities continue to be consolidated in our financial statements. We expect that hospitals we open in the future may be leased from new Real Estate Entities which may be owned in whole or part by related parties. Third-party lenders to these entities may require that we provide a guarantee or become co-borrowers under mortgage indebtedness financings for such facilities. In such instances, we may be required to consolidate these new Real Estate Entities in our financial statements as VIEs.
Corporate and other costs. Corporate and other costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included general and administrative expenses totaling $27.2 million. General and administrative costs include our executive management, accounting, human resources, corporate technology, insurance and professional fees. We have incurred higher levels of professional fees as a public company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred closing costs of
38
$0.2 million due to the closure of three facilities in January 2023. In addition, we have made staffing and management additions commensurate with our operational growth. We recognized $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense for the issuance in March 2023 of 1,000,000 common shares to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. for IPA managerial services, and $0.3 million for the April 2023 issuance of RSUs.
Nonoperating items
Interest expense. Interest expense totaled $12.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with $9.6 million for the same period of 2022. The increase in interest expense for the 2023 period is principally due to discount amortization expense associated with the Yorkville Pre-paid Advance Agreement and the opening of four new facilities.
Income tax expense. Income tax provisions for interim quarterly periods are generally based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items related specifically to interim periods. The income tax impact of discrete items is recognized in the period these occur.
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately 11.6%. Excluding discrete items, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 26.2%. The primary difference from the federal statutory rate of 21% is related to state taxes, income of noncontrolling interests in flow-through entities and permanent differences for non-deductible expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had $26.8 million of cash and equivalents, compared to $34.3 million of cash and equivalents at December 31, 2022.
Significant sources and uses of cash during the first nine months of 2023.
Sources of cash:
● | Cash from operating activities was $3.0 million, which included $4.3 million from the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories, accounts payable and expenses); and |
● | We received net proceeds of $8.0 million from borrowings under notes payable and lines of credit. |
Uses of cash:
● | Capital expenditures were $10.3 million; |
● | Distributions, net of contributions, to noncontrolling interests totaled $3.7 million; |
● | Payments for acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired totaled $0.7 million; |
● | Repayments of finance leases totaled $2.7 million; and |
● | Cash associated with the deconsolidated Real Estate Entity totaled $1.0 million. |
Future sources and uses of cash. Our operating activities are financed with cash on hand which is generated from revenues, which may vary significantly based on regulatory changes affecting the timing and amounts of insurance reimbursements for our services. Most of our hospital facilities are leased from various lessors including related parties. These leases are presented in our consolidated balance sheets unless the lease is from a consolidated Real Estate Entity. Our growth plans include the development of new hospital locations. We expect that in many of these locations we will lease facilities from newly established entities partially owned by related parties.
We routinely enter into equipment lease agreements to procure new or replacement equipment and may also finance these purchases with term debt. We have smaller lines of credits available for working capital purposes and are presently working to supplement or replace these with larger financing commitments. These larger financing commitments are subject to market conditions and we may not be able to obtain such larger financing commitments at favorable economic terms or at all. We also believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and available borrowing capacity, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs requirements for operations and growth
39
objectives for at least the next twelve months. If the assumptions underlying our business plan regarding future revenue and expenses change or if unexpected opportunities or needs arise, we may seek to raise additional cash by selling equity or debt securities.
Indebtedness. The Company’s indebtedness at September 30, 2023 is presented in Item I, “Financial Statements – Note 8 – Debt” and our lease obligations are presented in Item I, “Financial Statements—Note 9 – Leases.”
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Nutex Health Inc. plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for stock-based compensation, any facilities closing costs, acquisition related costs and impairments. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to serve as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s critical accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates are described in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Since December 31, 2022, there have been no material changes in the Company’s accounting policies that are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates, except for the following:
Convertible debt. The Company accounts for convertible debt that does not meet the criteria for equity treatment in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. Accordingly, the Company elected to classify the convertible debt as a liability at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company classifies convertible debt based on the re-payment terms and conditions. Any discounts on the convertible debt and costs incurred upon issuance of the convertible debt are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related convertible debt. Convertible debt is also analyzed for the existence of embedded derivatives, which may require bifurcation from the convertible debt and separate accounting treatment. Refer to Note 8 for information regarding convertible debt.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
With respect to the three months and six months ended September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes in our primary market risk exposures or how those exposures are managed since the information disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision of our CEO and our CFO, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023 due to the material weakness previously identified as described below.
Previously Reported Material Weaknesses. We previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Based on our assessment, the following material weaknesses were identified:
● | The Company did not design and implement logical access controls for certain financially relevant systems. Business process controls, both automated and manual, that are dependent upon the information derived from those financially relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency; |
41
● | Business process controls across the entity’s financial reporting processes were not effectively designed and implemented to properly address the risk of material misstatement, including controls without proper segregation of duties between preparer and reviewer and key management review controls; and |
● | Ineffective design and implementation of controls over the completeness and accuracy of information included in key spreadsheets supporting the financial statements. |
Management has concluded that, based on applying the COSO criteria, as of December 31, 2022, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Remediation Plans. These material weaknesses did not result in material misstatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The Company has started the process of designing and implementing effective internal control measures to remediate the material weakness. The Company’s efforts include the implementation of a new enterprise-wide system in the first quarter of 2023 that will reduce reliance on manual processes and spreadsheets supporting the financial statements. Additionally, the Company has engaged a firm to assist in the proper design, implementation and testing of internal controls over financial reporting. We have added key senior management positions including a Chief Operating Officer. We have also made some additions to our accounting and financial reporting teams in 2023.
While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, our remediation efforts are ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as audit committee oversight. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the remaining material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness. We may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We are taking actions to remediate the material weakness relating to our internal control over financial reporting, as described above. Except as otherwise described herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are making changes to our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the implementation of our new enterprise-wide system in the first quarter of 2023.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our senior members of management do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and our Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other SEC filings, which could materially affect our businesses, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. In addition, you should carefully consider the risks described below.
We may experience additional ownership dilution as a result of the September 2023 Private Offering
In September 2023, the Company commenced a private offering (the “September 2023 Private Offering”) of up to $15.0 million pursuant to which the Company will issue investment units (the “Units”) at $50,000 per Unit to accredited investors (the “Unit Holder”) as defined in Rule 501 under the 1933 Act. Each Unit consists of (a) an interest-bearing unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Unsecured Convertible Term Notes”) in the principal amount of $50,000 convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share and (b) a six-year warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 62,500 shares at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. We also agreed to issue warrants for the purchase of up to 11,250,000 shares to the placement agent. The Notes mature on October 31, 2025 and the Warrants expire on December 31, 2029.
If a significant number of the Unit Holders choose to exercise their conversion rights, it could result in the issuance of additional common shares, diluting the ownership interests of existing shareholders. Assuming a $15 million private offering, the note and warrant holders, upon exercise or conversion, would receive up to 67,500,000 shares of Common Stock. This dilution could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We may experience increased volatility in the trading price of our stock as a result of the September 2023 Private Offering
The presence of convertible debt with attached warrants in our capital structure may contribute to increased volatility in the trading price of our common stock. The potential for conversion and warrant exercise can lead to fluctuations in our stock price, making it more difficult for investors to predict and assess the value of our common shares.
We may experience a cash flow and liquidity impact as a result of the September 2023 Private Offering
The Unsecured Convertible Term Notes bear an annual interest rate of 8% if paid in cash or an annual interest rate of 10% if paid in in the form of common stock. The payment of interest in the form of common stock is at the discretion of the Company. When paid in common stock, the number of shares is equal to the quotient of the total accrued interest due divided by the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the last complete trading day of such quarter. The Unit Holders have the option to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal and interest outstanding in Common Stock at the conversion price of $0.40 per share. If the Company fails to pay the outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest within 30 days of the maturity date, the interest rate payable is adjusted to 12%.
Our convertible debt instruments require periodic interest payments and the repayment of principal upon maturity. The need to make interest and principal payments can place financial pressure on our company, especially if our financial performance is not sufficient to cover these obligations.
