On June 1, 2020, we completed our stock purchase of DeepHealth, Inc. by issuing 823,615 shares of our common stock to purchase all of DeepHealth's shares and share equivalents. The shares were ascribed a value of $13.9 million.
On August 1, 2019 we issued RadNet common stock in the amount of $1.5 million to acquire 75% controlling interest in our formerly 25% owned joint venture Nulogix. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, for further information.
We transferred approximately $4.3 million in net assets to our new joint venture, Ventura County Imaging Group, LLC in March 2019.
On February 27, 2019, we issued 440,207 shares of our common stock to the sellers of Hudson Valley Radiology Associates, P.L.L.C. ("HVRA") which permitted our variable interest entity, Lenox Hill Radiology and Medical Imaging Associates, P.C., to complete its purchase of the membership interest of HVRA. The shares were ascribed a value of $6.0 million.

RADNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We are a national provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services with operations in seven U.S. states. At September 30, 2020, we operated, directly or indirectly through joint ventures with hospitals, 334 centers located in Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders. Our services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures. The vast majority of our centers offer multi-modality imaging services. Our multi-modality strategy diversifies revenue streams, reduces exposure to reimbursement changes and provides patients and referring physicians the convenience of a single location to serve the needs of multiple procedures. In addition to our imaging services, we design and develop software applications, Artificial Intelligence tools and other computerized systems for the diagnostic imaging industry. Our operations comprise a single segment for financial reporting purposes.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RadNet, Inc as well as its subsidiaries in which RadNet has a controlling financial interest. The consolidated financial statements also include certain variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary (as described in more detail below). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. All of these affiliated entities are referred to collectively as “RadNet”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” in this report.
Accounting regulations stipulate that generally any entity with a) insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, or b) equity holders that, as a group, lack the characteristics which evidence a controlling financial interest, is considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). We consolidate all VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE through a qualitative analysis that identifies which variable interest holder has the controlling financial interest in the VIE. The variable interest holder who has both of the following has the controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In performing our analysis, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the design and activities of the VIE, the terms of the contracts the VIE has entered into, the nature of the VIE’s variable interests issued and how they were negotiated with or marketed to potential investors, and which parties participated significantly in the design or redesign of the entity.
VIEs that we consolidate as the primary beneficiary consist of professional corporations which are owned or controlled by individuals within our senior management, namely Howard G. Berger, M.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer, and John V. Crues, III, M.D., RadNet's Medical Director, both of whom are members of our Board of Directors. Dr. Berger owns, indirectly, 99% of the equity interests in Beverly Radiology Medical Group III (BRMG) and a controlling interest in two professional corporations in New York City. BRMG is responsible for the professional medical services at nearly all of our facilities located in California. Dr. Crues owns six professional corporations which provide medical services in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and New York. Additionally, Dr. Crues is a 1% owner of BRMG. These VIEs are collectively referred to as the consolidated medical group ("the Group").
RadNet provides non-medical, technical and administrative services to the Group for which it receives a management fee, pursuant to the related management agreements. Through the management agreements we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations and we determine the annual budget. The Group has insignificant operating assets and liabilities, and de minimis equity. Through management agreements with us, substantially all cash flows of the Group after expenses, including professional salaries, are transferred to us. We consolidate the revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities of the Group.
The Group on a combined basis recognized $38.3 million and $40.6 million of revenue, net of management services fees to RadNet, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $38.3 million and $40.6 million of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. RadNet recognized $169.0 million and $154.5 million of total billed net service fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively, for management services provided to the Group relating primarily to the technical portion of billed revenue.
The Group on a combined basis recognized $104.8 million and $116.9 million of revenue, net of management services fees to RadNet, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $104.8 million and $116.9 million of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. RadNet recognized $433.3 million
10
and $456.1 million of total billed net service fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively, for management services provided to the Group relating primarily to the technical portion of billed revenue.
The cash flows of the Group are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In our condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we have included approximately $84.5 million and $100.3 million, respectively, of accounts receivable and approximately $10.7 million and $7.0 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to the Group, respectively.
The creditors of the Group do not have recourse to our general credit and there are no other arrangements that could expose us to losses on their behalf. However, RadNet may be required to provide financial support to cover any operating expenses in excess of operating revenues.
We also own a 49% economic interest in ScriptSender, LLC, which provides secure data transmission services of medical information. Through a management agreement, RadNet provides management and accounting services and receives an agreed upon fee. ScriptSender, LLC is dependent on the Company to finance its own activities, and as such we determined that it is a VIE but we are not a primary beneficiary since we do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.
At all of our centers not serviced by the Group we have entered into long-term contracts (typically up to 40 years) with independent radiology groups to provide physician services at those centers. These radiology practices provide professional services, including supervision and interpretation of diagnostic imaging procedures, in our diagnostic imaging centers. The radiology practices maintain full control over the provision of professional services. Under these arrangements, in addition to obtaining technical fees for the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services, we provide management services and receive a fee based on the value of the services we provide. We own the diagnostic imaging equipment and, therefore, receive 100% of the technical reimbursements associated with imaging procedures. The radiology practice groups retain the professional reimbursements associated with imaging procedures after deducting management service fees paid to us and we have no economic controlling interest in these radiology practices as such, the financial results of these practices are not consolidated in our financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
During the period covered in this report, there have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies we use and have explained, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The information below is intended only to supplement the disclosure in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
REVENUES - Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payors and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide diagnostic services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period when our obligations to provide diagnostic services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for diagnostic services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payor (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payors. The payment arrangements with third-party payors for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnostic services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.
11
As it relates to the Group, this service fee revenue includes payments for both the professional medical interpretation revenue recognized by them as well as the payment for all other aspects related to our providing the imaging services, for which we earn management fees. As it relates to others centers, this service fee revenue is earned through providing the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services as well as providing administration services such as clerical and administrative personnel, bookkeeping and accounting services, billing and collection, provision of medical and office supplies, secretarial, reception and transcription services, maintenance of medical records, and advertising, marketing and promotional activities.
Our revenues are based upon the estimated amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payors. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care and commercial insurance plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Revenues related to uninsured patients and copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and contractual discounts). We also record estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect.
Under capitation arrangements with various health plans, we earn a per-enrollee amount each month for making available diagnostic imaging services to all plan enrollees under the capitation arrangement. Revenue under capitation arrangements is recognized in the period in which we are obligated to provide services to plan enrollees under contracts with various health plans.
Our total service revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented in the table below based on an allocation of the estimated transaction price with the patient between the primary patient classification of insurance coverage (in thousands):

COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND CARES ACT FUNDING - On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Patient volumes and the related revenues for our services were significantly impacted during the latter portion of the first quarter through the middle of the third quarter of 2020 as a result of federal, state and local government mandated restrictions requiring many people to remain at home and forced the closure of or limitations on certain businesses, as well as suspended elective procedures by health care facilities. Many of these restrictions have been eased or completely lifted across the states the Company operates in however, we are unable to predict the future impact of the pandemic on our operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received $39.4 million of accelerated Medicare payments, $5.0 million from Blue Cross, $25.7 million from the general distribution and $4.0 million from the Paycheck Protection Program established through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The accelerated Medicare payments are recorded under the caption “ Deferred Revenue“ in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be repaid beginning in 2021. The general distribution funds were accounted for as government grants and recognized as other revenue, once reasonable assurance that the applicable terms and conditions required to retain the funds were met, under the caption “Provider relief funding” in our condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Department of Health and Human Services significantly changed the measurement of Provider Relief Funds that providers are able to retain. We received approximately $0.2 million in
12
funding and based on our assessment of the likelihood of meeting the applicable terms and conditions of the general distribution we continue to recognized the funds received as other revenue.
The CARES Act also providers for a payment deferral of the employer portion of Social Security tax incurred during the pandemic, allowing half of such payroll taxes to be deferred until December 2021 and the remaining half until December 2022. At September 30, 2020, the Company had deferred $10.8 million of Social Security taxes. These payment deferrals are recorded as payroll tax liability under the caption “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
We believe the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our operating results and financial condition has been and will continue to be driven by many factors, most of which are beyond our control and ability to forecast. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the scope and duration of stay-at-home practices, business closures and restrictions, suspensions of elective procedures and continued decline in procedure volumes for an indeterminable length of time and incremental expenses required for supplies and personal protective equipment. Because of these uncertainties, we cannot estimate the length or impact of the pandemic on our business. If we incur declines in cash flows and results of operations, such declines could have an impact on the inputs and assumptions used in significant accounting estimates, including implicit prices concessions related to uninsured patient accounts, and potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. During the third quarter of 2020, procedure volumes increased and have had a positive impact on our patient revenue. However, the impact of COVID-19 in future periods may vary and could adversely impact our results of operations.
RECLASSIFICATION –We have reclassified certain amounts previously classified as held for sale related to property and equipment and goodwill to conform to our 2020 presentation.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers. We continuously monitor collections from our payors and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon specific payor collection issues that we have identified and our historical experience. In regards to the credit loss standard, we have concluded that the historical credit loss experienced across our receivable portfolio is materially similar to any current expected credit losses estimated under the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model.
In 2018 and 2019 we entered into factoring agreements with various institutions and sold certain accounts receivable under non-recourse agreements in exchange for notes receivables from the buyers. These transactions are accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable as the agreements transfer effective control over and risk related to the receivables to the buyers. Proceeds on notes receivables are reflected as operating activities on our statement of cash flows and on our balance sheet as prepaid expenses and other current assets for the current portion and deposits and other for the long term portion. At September 30, 2020 we have $20.4 million remaining to be collected on these agreements. We do not utilize factoring arrangements as an integral part of our financing for working capital. To employ the CECL model for the notes receivable, we assess the party's ability to pay upfront at the inception of the notes receivable and subsequently by reviewing their financial statements annually and reassessing any insolvency risk on a periodic basis. In the event of a significant past due balance, as the sold receivables were already revalued and recorded at net realizable value, we can mitigate the expected credit loss by offsetting any collections from the underlying factored receivables and not remitting that to the counter party.
DEFERRED REVENUE - As noted above, in April of 2020, we received approximately $39.4 million in advanced Medicare payments from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") as part of the expanded Accelerated and Advance Payment Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As these payments are required to be repaid to CMS beginning 120 days after their receipt through offsets from new Medicare claims over a three month period, we have recorded amounts received to deferred revenue which will be amortized as Medicare reimbursements are earned. In addition, in May of 2020 we received $5.0 million in advance payments from an insurance carrier with similar repayment terms as the CMS.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS - Costs of financing are deferred and amortized using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $1.9 million and $1.6 million, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively and related to our Barclays line of credit. See Note 5, Credit Facilities and Notes Payable for more information.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is performed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired, which range from 3 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized at the lesser of lease term or their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 15 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
13
BUSINESS COMBINATION - When the qualifications for business combination accounting treatment are met, it requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE LIVED INTANGIBLES - Goodwill at September 30, 2020 totaled $470.7 million. Indefinite lived intangible assets at September 30, 2020 were $11.3 million. Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangibles are recorded as a result of business combinations. When we determine the carrying value of reporting unit exceeds its fair value an impairment charge would be recognized and should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We tested goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles for impairment on October 1, 2019, noting no impairment. In addition to the annual impairment test, we regularly assess if an event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. We considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and did not identify an indication of goodwill impairment being more likely than not through September 30, 2020. Activity in goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is provided below (in thousands):
Balance as of December 31, 2019 | $ | 441,973 | |||
Goodwill acquired through the acquisition of Olney Open MRI, LLC | 601 | ||||
Goodwill acquired through the acquisition of MRI at Woodbridge, LLC | 1,833 | ||||
Goodwill acquired through the acquisition of DeepHealth, Inc. | 23,396 | ||||
Goodwill acquired through the acquisition of AZ-Tech Radiology & Open MRI, LLC | 2,882 | ||||
Balance as of September 30, 2020 | $ | 470,685 |
INCOME TAXES - Income tax expense is computed using an asset and liability method and using expected annual effective tax rates. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in the financial reporting bases and the income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefit that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. When it appears more likely than not that deferred taxes will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its estimated realizable value. For net deferred tax assets we consider estimates of future taxable income in determining whether our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
We recorded an income tax expense of $3.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 27.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an income tax expense of $1.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 26.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. We recorded an income tax benefit of $5.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 28.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an income tax expense of $3.6 million , or an effective tax rate of 24.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.The income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 diverge from the federal statutory rate due to (i) noncontrolling interests due to the controlled partnerships; (ii) effects of state income taxes; and (iii) excess tax benefits attributable to share-based compensation.
We believe no significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next 12 months.
On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). The CARES Act, among other things, includes certain income tax provisions for individuals and corporations; however, these benefits do not impact the Company’s current tax provision.
LEASES - We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long term operating lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current finance lease liability, and long-term finance lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. We include options to extend a lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For a contract in which we are a lessee that contains fixed
14
payments for both lease and non-lease components, we have elected to account for the components as a single lease component, as permitted. For finance leases, interest expense on the lease liability is recognized using the effective interest method and amortization of the ROU asset is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. ROU assets are tested for impairment if circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our ROU assets consist of facility and equipment assets on operating leases. No events have occurred such as fire, flood, or other acts which have impaired the integrity of our ROU assets in 2020. Our facility leases require us to maintain insurance policies which would cover major damage to our facilities. We maintain business interruption insurance to cover loss of business due to a facility becoming non-operational under certain circumstances. Our equipment leases are covered by warranty and service contracts which cover repairs and provide regular maintenance to keep the equipment in functioning order.
EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION – We have one long-term incentive plan that we adopted in 2006 and which we first amended and restated as of April 20, 2015, and again on March 9, 2017 (the “Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual stockholders meeting on June 8, 2017. We have reserved 14,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Restated Plan which can be issued in the form of options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, stock units, and cash awards. Stock options generally vest over to five years and expire to ten years from date of grant. We determine the compensation expense for each stock option award using the Black Scholes, or similar valuation model. Those models require that our management make certain estimates concerning risk free interest rates and volatility in the trading price of our common stock. The compensation expense recognized for all equity-based awards is recognized over the awards’ service periods. Equity-based compensation is classified in operating expenses within the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees. In connection with our acquisition of DeepHealth Inc. on June 1, 2020, we assumed the DeepHealth, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, including outstanding options awards that can be exercised for our common stock. No additional awards will be granted under the DeepHealth, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. See Note 4, Facility Acquisitions and Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation, for more information.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) - ASC 220 establishes rules for reporting and displaying comprehensive income or loss and its components. Our unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency translation adjustments, interest rate cap and swap agreements are included in comprehensive loss and are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - We are party to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, we evaluate the developments on a regular basis and accrue a liability when we believe a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on current information, we do not believe that reasonably possible or probable losses associated with pending legal proceedings would either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these matters were resolved against us for amounts in excess of management's expectations, our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable, could be materially adversely affected.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
2016 CAPS
In the fourth quarter of 2016, we entered into two forward interest rate cap agreements ("2016 Caps"). The 2016 Caps will mature in September and October 2020. The 2016 Caps had notional amounts of $150,000,000 and $350,000,000, respectively. Under these arrangements, the Company purchased a cap on 3 month LIBOR at 2.0%. We incurred a $5.3 million premium to enter into the 2016 Caps which is being accrued over the life of the agreements.
At inception, we designated our 2016 Caps as cash flow hedges of floating-rate borrowings. In accordance with accounting guidance, derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments are reported at fair value. The gain or loss of the hedge (i.e. change in fair value) is reported as a component of comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of equity since such hedge has been determined to be effective. See Fair Value Measurements section below for the fair value of the 2016 Caps at September 30, 2020.
A tabular presentation of the effect of derivative instruments on our consolidated statement of comprehensive loss of the 2016 Caps is as follows (amounts in thousands):

2019 SWAPS
In the second quarter of 2019, we entered into four forward interest rate agreements ("2019 Swaps"). The 2019 Swaps have total notional amounts of $500,000,000, consisting of two agreements of $50,000,000 each and two agreements of $200,000,000 each. The 2019 Swaps will secure a constant interest rate associated with portions of our variable rate bank debt and have an effective date of October 13, 2020. They will mature in October 2023 for the smaller notional and October 2025 for the larger notional. Under these arrangements, we arranged the 2019 Swaps with locked in 1 month LIBOR rates at 1.96% for the $100,000,000 notional and at 2.05% for the $400,000,000 notional. As of the effective date, we will be liable for premium payments if interest rates decline below arranged rates, but will receive interest payments if rates remain above the arranged rates.
At inception, we designated our 2019 Swaps as cash flow hedges of floating-rate borrowings. In accordance with accounting guidance, derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments are reported at fair value. The gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge (i.e. change in fair value) is reported as a component of comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of equity. The remaining gain or loss, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. As a result of the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which precipitated a reduction in interest rates , the cash flows for both our $400,000,000 notional interest rate swap contract locked in at 2.05% due October 2025 and our $100,000,000 notional interest rate swap contract locked in at 1.96% do not match the cash flows for our First Lien Term Loans and so we have determined that they are not currently effective as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, all changes in their fair value after April 1, 2020 for the $400,000,000 notional and after July 1, 2020 for the $100,000,000 notional will be recognized in earnings. As of July 1, 2020, the total change in fair value relating to swaps included in other comprehensive income was approximately $24.4 million, net of taxes. This amount will be amortized to interest expense through October 2025 at approximately $0.4 million per month.

See Fair Value Measurements section below for the fair value of the 2016 caps and 2019 swaps at September 30, 2020.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements are required to be disclosed within a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value. Accordingly, assets and liabilities carried at, or permitted to be carried at, fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy in one of the following categories based on the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement:
Level 1—Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2—Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Fair value is determined by using inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgment.
Derivatives:
The tables below summarize the estimated fair values of certain of our financial assets that are subject to fair value measurements, and the classification of these assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of these contracts was determined using Level 2 inputs. More specifically, the fair value was determined by calculating the value of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the interest rate swaps and the counterparty’s forward LIBOR curve. The forward LIBOR curve is readily available in the public markets or can be derived from information available in the public markets.

As of September 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019 our Barclays revolving credit facility had no balance outstanding. Our SunTrust revolving credit facility relating to our consolidated subsidiary NJIN, had no principal amount outstanding at September 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019.
The estimated fair value of our long-term debt, which is discussed in Note 5, was determined using Level 2 inputs primarily related to comparable market prices.
We consider the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, current liabilities and other notes payables to approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization or payment. Additionally, we consider the carrying amount of our finance lease obligations to approximate their fair value because the weighted average interest rate used to formulate the carrying amounts approximates current market rates.
EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding, net of common stock held in treasury, as follows (in thousands except share and per share data):

EQUITY INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE–Accounting guidance requires entities to measure equity investments at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in net income. If there is no readily determinable fair value, the guidance allows entities the ability to measure investments at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income.
As of September 30, 2020, we have three equity investments for which a fair value is not readily determinable and therefore the total amounts invested are recognized at cost as follows:
Medic Vision Imaging Solutions Ltd., based in Israel, specializes in software packages that provide compliant radiation dose structured reporting and enhanced images from reduced dose CT scans. On March 24, 2017, we acquired an initial 12.5% equity interest in Medic Vision for $1.0 million. We also received an option to exercise warrants to acquire up to an additional 12.5% equity interest for $1.4 million within one year from the initial share purchase date, if exercised in full. On March 1, 2018 we exercised our warrant in part and acquired an additional 1.96% for $0.2 million. Our initial equity interest has been diluted to 12.25% and our total equity investment stands at 14.21%. In accordance with accounting guidance, as we exercise no significant influence over Medic Vision’s operations, the investment is recorded at its cost of $1.2 million, given that the fair value is not readily determinable. No observable price changes or impairment in our investment was identified as of September 30, 2020.
Turner Imaging Systems, based in Utah, develops and markets portable X-ray imaging systems that provide a user the ability to acquire X-ray images wherever and whenever they are needed. On February 1, 2018, we purchased 2.1 million preferred shares in Turner Imaging Systems for $2.0 million. On January 1, 2019 we funded a convertible promissory note in the amount of $0.1 million that converted to additional 80,000 shares December 21, 2019. No observable price changes impairment in our investment was identified as of September 30, 2020.
19
WhiteRabbit.ai Inc., based in California, is currently developing an artificial intelligence suite which aims to improve the speed and accuracy of cancer detection in radiology and improve patient care. On November 5, 2019 we acquired an equity interest in the company for $1.0 million and also loaned the company $2.5 million, the principal of which is due November 2022. To leverage their artificial intelligence expertise, we entered into a software subscription service contract to assist our radiology work flow and advanced them $4.0 million for future software subscription fees that is recorded as a prepaid expense in Prepaid and Other Current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. No observable price changes or impairment in our investment or the loan receivable was identified as of September 30, 2020.
INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES – We have 12 unconsolidated joint ventures with ownership interests ranging from 35% to 55%. These joint ventures represent partnerships with hospitals, health systems or radiology practices and were formed for the purpose of owning and operating diagnostic imaging centers. Professional services at the joint venture diagnostic imaging centers are performed by contracted radiology practices or a radiology practice that participates in the joint venture. Our investment in these joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method, since RadNet does not have a controlling financial interest in such ventures. We evaluate our investment in joint ventures, including cost in excess of book value (equity method goodwill) for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. No indicators of impairment existed as of September 30, 2020.
Joint venture investment contribution
In the month of August 2020, we made additional cash contributions to our Santa Monica Imaging Group, LLC partnership in the amount of $1.6 million in support of its expanded operations. We maintain our 35% economic interest in the partnership.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING STANDARDS
Accounting standards adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss methodology previously utilized for valuing financial instruments with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. We prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements, resulting in no adjustments to our prior year earnings. See the Accounts Receivable section to Note 2 for further information on our allowances for credit losses.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for deferring implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This ASU is effective in the first quarter of 2020 with early adoption permitted and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03 ("ASU 2020-03"), Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify or improve the codification and correct unintended application. ASU 2020-03 was effective immediately upon issuance and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 ("ASU 2018-13"), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. This standard removes, modifies and adds certain disclosures related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. We adopted ASC 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020 and it had no effect on our disclosures.
Accounting standards not yet adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 ("ASU 2019-12"), Income Taxes (Topic 740). ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other areas of the standard. ASU 2019-12 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2021. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments in this update must be applied on a prospective basis, certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective basis, and certain amendments must be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings/(deficit) in the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial statements and related disclosures as well as the timing of adoption.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 ("ASU 2020-01"), Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), clarifying the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivatives. ASU 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 on our financial statements.

NOTE 4 – FACILITY ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisitions:
On August 31, 2020 we completed our acquisition of certain assets of AZ-Tech Radiology & Open MRI, LLC, consisting of eight multi-modality imaging centers located in the Phoenix, Arizona area for purchase consideration of $5.5 million. We made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $2.5 million in property and equipment, $7.6 million in right-of-use assets, $0.1 million in other assets, $7.6 million in operating lease liabilities, and $2.9 million in goodwill were recorded.
On June 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of all the equity interests of DeepHealth Inc., ("DeepHealth") an artificial intelligence and machine learning company in an all stock purchase. As initial purchase consideration, we issued 915,132 shares at $16.93 per share (823,615 issued at execution, with up to 91,517 shares to be issued 18 months after acquisition subject to adjustment for any indemnification claims). The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a business and total purchase consideration determined to be approximately $34.6 million including i) 823,615 shares issued on the date of closing with fair value of $13.9 million, ii) a liability of 91,517 shares with a fair value of $1.5 million to be issued 18 months after acquisition subject to adjustment for any indemnification claims and will be marked to market in subsequent periods, iii) replacement awards attributable to pre-combination service issued to DeepHealth option holders with allocated fair value of $2.0 million, iv) acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration of $17.0 million and v) $0.1 million in closing costs reimbursed to the seller. The fair values of replacement awards attributable to pre-combination service and contingent consideration are recorded in additional paid in capital upon closing of the transaction. For the contingent consideration, there are three arrangements that will be settled in a fixed number of shares upon achievement of three individual specific milestones which are mutually exclusive of each other, with 390,789, 586,184, and 195,393 shares, respectively, issuable for each milestone arrangement. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated at the date of acquisition based on our share price and estimated probability of the achievement of the respective milestones. We preliminarily recorded $0.1 million in current assets, $3.5 million in deferred tax liabilities, $14.8 million in intangible assets, primarily in-process research and development ("IPR&D'), and $23.4 million in goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to expected post-acquisition synergies from integrating DeepHealth’s assembled workforce and IPR&D technologies. The fair values of the identifiable intangible assets related to IPR&D were determined by the income method and the assets will not be amortized until completion.
On March 2, 2020 our consolidated subsidiary New Jersey Imaging Networks ("NJIN") completed the acquisition of certain assets of MRI at Woodbridge, LLC consisting of a single multi-modality imaging center located in Avenel, New Jersey for cash consideration of $2.6 million. NJIN made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $0.5 million in property and equipment, $1.1 million in right-of-use assets, $0.3 million in intangible assets, $1.1 million in operating lease liabilities, $0.1 million in finance lease liabilities, and $1.8 million in goodwill were recorded.
On January 2, 2020 we completed our acquisition of certain assets of Olney Open MRI, LLC, consisting of a single multi-modality imaging center located in Columbia, Maryland for cash consideration of $1.8 million. We have made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $0.8 million in property and equipment, $1.3 million in right-of-use assets, $0.3 million in intangible assets, $1.3 million in operating lease liabilities and $0.6 million in goodwill were recorded.
Dispositions:
On June 1, 2020 we completed our sale of certain assets of our Imaging On Call subsidiary to RadVantage P.C. (an unrelated corporation) for approximately $1.0 thousand. With this transaction, we have exited the teleradiology business.

The scheduled amortization of the SunTrust Term Loan began December 31, 2018 with quarterly payments of $0.8 million, representing annual amortization equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount of the SunTrust Term Loan. At scheduled intervals, the quarterly amortization increases by $0.4 million, with the remaining balance to be paid at maturity. The SunTrust Term Loan will mature on August 1, 2023 unless otherwise accelerated under the terms of the SunTrust credit facility.
Revolving Credit Facilities
Barclays Revolving Credit Facility
Revolving loans borrowed under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either an Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. Rates of the applicable margin for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility also change depending on our leverage ratio and are the same rates as noted in the schedule above for First Lien Term Loans. As of September 30, 2020, the effective interest rate payable on revolving loans was 6.00%.
Letters of credit issued under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit fees accrue at the applicable margin of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, currently 3.75% , and fronting fees accrue at 0.25% per annum, in each case on the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum accrues on the unused revolver commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Barclays Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on the earliest to occur of July 1, 2023 or its earlier termination to specific events of default pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement.
24
Our Barclays Revolving Credit Facility was amended in August 2020 to add $57.5 million of revolving commitments and extend the maximum borrowing capacity to $195.0 million. Total issue costs added in relation to the eighth amendment amounted to approximately $0.7 million and was capitalized as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the remaining term of the agreement.
SunTrust Revolving Credit Facility
Our SunTrust Revolving Credit Facility is available to NJIN for funding requirements, with an available borrowing limit of $30.0 million. Revolving loan borrowed under the SunTrust Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either an Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or a Base Rate plus an applicable margin. Rates of the applicable margin for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility also change depending on our leverage ration and are the same rates noted in the schedule above for the SunTrust Term Loan. The SunTrust Revolving Credit Facility terminates on August 31, 2023 unless all amounts outstanding otherwise have been declared or have automatically become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). NJIN has not borrowed against the revolving credit line.
Recent Amendments to credit facilities:
Barclays Credit Facilities:
On August 28, 2020, RadNet, Inc. entered into Amendment No. 8, Consent and Incremental Joinder Agreement to Credit and Guaranty Agreement "the Eighth Amendment". The Eighth Amendment amends the First Lien Credit Agreement to add $57.5 million of revolving commitments to the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility extending the maximum borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to $195.0 million while leaving the maturity date of July 1, 2023 unchanged. Total issue costs added in relation to the Eighth Amendment amounted to approximately $0.7 million and was capitalized as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the remaining term of the agreement.
On April 18, 2019 we entered into the following two amendments to the First Lien Credit Agreement: (i) Amendment No. 6, Consent and Incremental Joinder Agreement to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”); and (ii) Amendment No. 7 to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment amended the First Lien Credit Agreement to issue $100.0 million in incremental First Lien Term Loans and to add an additional $20.0 million of revolving commitments to the Barclay's Revolving Credit Facility. The Seventh Amendment amended the First Lien Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility by an additional two years to July 1, 2023, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement. Total issue costs added in relation to the Sixth and Seventh amendments in 2019 amounted to approximately $4.4 million. Of this amount, $2.1 million was identified and capitalized as discount on debt, $0.7 million was capitalized as deferred financing costs, and $1.6 million was expensed. Amounts capitalized will be amortized over the remaining term of the agreement.
Paycheck Protection Program
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) includes funds available for loans to small business and Medicare providers to support operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds are administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), through approved lenders and do not require collateral or personal guarantees. We received our loans based on being a Medicare provider. The terms and conditions for participation require entities to certify that economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic makes the loan necessary to support their current operations, and that they will use the funds to retain workers (e.g., by paying salaries, providing paid sick/medical leave and health insurance benefits) and pay certain debts (mortgage obligations) and expenses (e.g. rent, utilities, telephone). The loans have a 1.0% fixed interest rate and are due in 2 years. Initial repayments have been deferred for six months. The loans are eligible for forgiveness subject to salary limitations and employee retention levels. Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries received four loans totaling $4.0 million. We have accounted for the funds received as debt and recorded a liability for the full amount of proceeds received. Interest will be accrued over the term of the loans. If we meet the eligibility requirements for forgiveness the amounts forgiven will be recognized in the income statement as a gain on loan extinguishment in accordance with accounting guidance.
NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Incentive Plans
25
We have one long-term equity incentive plan which we refer to as the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which we first amended and restated as of April 20, 2015 and again on March 9, 2017 (the "Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual stockholders meeting on June 8, 2017. We have reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan 14,000,000 shares of common stock. We can issue options (incentive and non-qualified), stock awards, stock appreciation rights, stock units and cash awards under the Restated Plan.
Options
Certain options granted under the Restated Plan to employees are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under existing tax regulations. Stock options generally vest over 3 to 5 years and expire 5 to 10 years from the date of grant.
As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding options to acquire 527,899 shares of our common stock, of which options to acquire 298,863 shares were exercisable. The following summarizes all of our option transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
Outstanding Options Under the 2006 Plan | Shares | Weighted Average Exercise price Per Common Share | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Exercisable at September 30, 2020 | 298,863 | 7.48 | 5.85 | 2,353,438 |
Aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between our closing stock price on September 30, 2020 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options as applicable) that would have been received by the holder had all holders exercised their options on September 30, 2020. No options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested employee awards was $0.7 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.68 years.
DeepHealth Options
During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, in connection with the completion of the DeepHealth acquisition, we granted 412,434 options at a grant date fair value of $16.93 per share unit to DeepHealth employees in replacement of their stock options that were outstanding as of the closing date. As of September 30, 2020, total unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to non-vested DeepHealth options was approximately $4.3 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.53 years.

We determine the fair value of all RSA’s based on the closing price of our common stock on the award date.
Other stock bonus awards
The Restated Plan also permits the award of stock bonuses not subject to any future service period. These awards are valued and expensed based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of award. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 awards totaling 26,078 shares were granted.
Plan summary
In summary, of the 14,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan, at September 30, 2020, we had issued 15,384,316 total shares between options, RSA’s and other stock awards. With options canceled and RSA’s forfeited amounting to 3,281,040 and 61,703 shares, respectively, there remain 1,958,427 shares available under the Restated Plan for future issuance.
The DeepHealth options were issued outside of the Restated Plan and are a direct result of our acquisition and not included in the share count of the Restated Plan.
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Formation of majority owned subsidiary
On November 1, 2020 we formed in conjunction with Simi Valley Hospital and Health Services ("Simi Adventist") the Simi Valley Imaging Group, LLC (“SVIG”), consisting of three multi-modality imaging centers located in Simi Valley, CA. RadNet will hold a 60% economic interest in SVIG and Simi Adventist will have the remaining 40% interest.

Overview
We are a leading national provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States based on number of locations and annual imaging revenue. At September 30, 2020, we operated, directly or indirectly through joint ventures with hospitals, 334 centers located in Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, often reducing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures. In addition to our imaging services, we own and operate a number of technology businesses that are complementary to our imaging business. Our subsidiary eRAD, Inc., develops and sells computerized systems for the diagnostic imaging industry, which provide the technology to distribute, display, store and retrieve digital images. Over 2019 and 2020 we have made a number of investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with our purchases of Nulogix and DeepHealth, combined with our investment in Whiterabbit.ai and our collaborative arrangement with Hologic. Our current AI focus is to develop solutions in machine learning to assist radiologists and other clinicians in interpreting images and improving patient care, initially in the field of mammography.
We derive substantially all of our revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our facilities. The following table shows our facilities in operation and revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019:

2020 | 2019 | ||||||||||
Facilities in operation | 334 | 340 | |||||||||
Net revenues (millions) | $ | 763.9 | $ | 853.3 |
Our revenue is derived from a diverse mix of payors, including private payors, managed care capitated payors and government payors. We believe our payor diversity mitigates our exposure to possible unfavorable reimbursement trends within any one payor class. In addition, our experience with capitation arrangements over the last several years has provided us with the expertise to manage utilization and pricing effectively, resulting in a predictable stream of revenue.
The Company’s total service revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented in the table below based on an allocation of the estimated transaction price with the patient between the primary patient classification of insurance coverage (in thousands):

We typically experience some seasonality to our revenue stream. During the first quarter of each year we generally experience the lowest volumes of procedures and the lowest level of revenue for any quarter during the year. It is common for inclement weather to result in patient appointment cancellations and, in some cases, imaging center closures. Second, in recent years, we have observed greater participation in high deductible health plans by patients. As these high deductibles reset in January for most of these patients, we have observed that patients utilize medical services less during the first quarter, when securing medical care will result in significant out-of-pocket expenditures.
Recent Developments
The discussion below of our results centers on our performance in the third quarter ending September 30, 2020. As discussed in our Form 8-K filed on April 3, 2020, the overall impact of the coronavirus pandemic on RadNet’s business has had and could continue to have a material impact on our operating results, cash flows and financial position. The magnitude of the impact will ultimately depend on the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of governmental actions and patient behavior in response to the pandemic, which remains ongoing.
As as result of the pandemic we began experiencing reduced procedure volumes in mid-March which intensified through the early part of the second quarter of 2020. As economic activity has begun to ramp-up, our procedure volumes have returned to our pre-COVID-19 pace, from a low of 28% pre-COVID-19 volumes experienced in April 2020. Our experience has shown that lost imaging slots in one quarter are not made up within that period or in subsequent quarters. We continue to adapt our operations in response to the pandemic where needed and implemented several cost-saving measures such as concentrating patient traffic to larger imaging centers, negotiating payment terms with vendors and landlords, adjusting staff levels and telecommuting.

Equity Investments, Acquisitions and Dispositions, and Joint Venture Activity
We have developed our medical imaging business through a combination of organic growth, equity investments, acquisitions and joint venture formations. The information below updates our activity of such matters contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Equity Investments
As of September 30, 2020, we have three equity investments for which a fair value is not readily determinable and therefore the total amounts invested are recognized at cost as follows
Medic Vision Imaging Solutions Ltd., based in Israel, specializes in software packages that provide compliant radiation dose structured reporting and enhanced images from reduced dose CT scans. On March 24, 2017, we acquired an initial 12.5% equity interest in Medic Vision for $1.0 million. We also received an option to exercise warrants to acquire up to an additional 12.5% equity interest for $1.4 million within one year from the initial share purchase date, if exercised in full. On March 1, 2018 we exercised our warrant in part and acquired an additional 1.96% for $0.2 million. Our initial equity interest has been diluted to 12.25% and our total equity investment stands at 14.21%. In accordance with accounting guidance, as we exercise no significant influence over Medic Vision’s operations, the investment is recorded at its cost of $1.2 million, given that the fair value is not readily determinable. No observable price changes or impairment in our investment was identified as of September 30, 2020.
Turner Imaging Systems, based in Utah, develops and markets portable X-ray imaging systems that provide a user the ability to acquire X-ray images wherever and whenever they are needed. On February 1, 2018, we purchased 2.1 million preferred shares in Turner Imaging Systems for $2.0 million. On January 1, 2019 we funded a convertible promissory note in the amount of $0.1 million that converted to additional 80,000 shares December 21, 2019. No observable price changes or impairment in our investment was identified as of September 30, 2020.
WhiteRabbit.ai Inc., based in California, is currently developing an artificial intelligence suite which aims to improve the speed and accuracy of cancer detection in radiology and improve patient care. On November 5, 2019 we acquired an equity interest in the company for $1.0 million and also loaned the company $2.5 million, the principal of which is due November 2022. To leverage their artificial intelligence expertise, we entered into a software subscription service contract to assist our radiology work flow and advanced them $4.0 million for future software subscription fees that is recorded as a prepaid expense in Prepaid and Other Current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. No observable price changes or impairment in our investment or the loan receivable was identified as of September 30, 2020.
Facility acquisitions
On August 31, 2020 we completed our acquisition of certain assets of AZ-Tech Radiology & Open MRI, LLC, consisting of eight multi-modality imaging centers located in the Phoenix, Arizona area for purchase consideration of $5.5 million. We made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $2.5 million in property and equipment, $7.6 million in right-of-use assets, $0.1 million in other assets, $7.6 million in operating lease liabilities, and $2.9 million in goodwill were recorded.
On June 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of all the equity interests of DeepHealth Inc., ("DeepHealth") an artificial intelligence and machine learning company in an all stock purchase. As initial purchase consideration, we issued 915,132 shares at $16.93 per share (823,615 issued at execution, with up to 91,517 shares to be issued 18 months after acquisition subject to adjustment for any indemnification claims). The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a business and total purchase consideration determined to be approximately $34.6 million including i) 823,615 shares issued on the date of closing with fair value of $13.9 million, ii) a liability of 91,517 shares with a fair value of $1.5 million to be issued 18 months after acquisition subject to adjustment for any indemnification claims and will be marked to market in subsequent periods, iii) replacement awards attributable to pre-combination service issued to DeepHealth option holders with allocated fair value of $2.0 million, iv) acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration of $17.0 million and v) $0.1 million in closing costs reimbursed to the seller. The fair values of replacement awards attributable to pre-combination service and contingent consideration are recorded in additional paid in capital upon closing of the transaction. For the contingent consideration, there are three arrangements that will be settled in a fixed number of shares upon achievement of three individual specific milestones which are mutually exclusive of each other, with 390,789, 586,184, and 195,393 shares, respectively, issuable for each milestone arrangement. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated at the date of acquisition based on our share price and estimated probability of the achievement of the respective milestones. We preliminarily recorded $0.1 million in current assets, $3.5 million in deferred tax liabilities, $14.8 million in intangible assets, primarily in-process research and
30
development ("IPR&D'), and $23.4 million in goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to expected post-acquisition synergies from integrating DeepHealth’s assembled workforce and IPR&D technologies. The fair values of the identifiable intangible assets related to IPR&D were determined by the income method and the assets will not be amortized until completion.
On March 2, 2020 our consolidated subsidiary New Jersey Imaging Networks ("NJIN") completed the acquisition of certain assets of MRI at Woodbridge, LLC consisting of a single multi-modality imaging center located in Avenel, New Jersey for consideration of $2.6 million. NJIN made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $0.5 million in property and equipment, $1.1 million in right-of-use assets, $0.3 million in intangible assets, $1.1 million in operating lease liabilities, $0.1 million in finance lease liabilities, and $1.8 million in goodwill were recorded.
On January 2, 2020 we completed our acquisition of certain assets of Olney Open MRI, LLC, consisting of a single multi-modality imaging center located in Columbia, Maryland for consideration of $1.8 million. We have made a fair value determination of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and approximately $0.8 million in property and equipment, $1.3 million in right-of-use assets, $0.3 million in intangible assets, $1.3 million in operating lease liabilities and $0.6 million in goodwill were recorded.
Dispositions:
On June 1, 2020 we completed our sale of certain assets of our Imaging On Call subsidiary to RadVantage P.C. (an unrelated corporation) for approximately $1.0 thousand. With this transaction, we have exited the teleradiology business.
Joint venture investment contribution
During the month of August 2020, we made additional cash contributions to our Santa Monica Imaging Group, LLC partnership in the amount of $1.6 million in support of its expanded operations. We maintain our 35% economic interest in the partnership.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. In Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we discuss our significant accounting policies, including those that do not require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The most significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates are described below.
Revenues
Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payors and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide diagnostic services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period when our obligations to provide diagnostic services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for diagnostic services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payor (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payors. The payment arrangements with third-party payors for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnostic services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.
As it relates to the Group, this service fee revenue includes payments for both the professional medical interpretation revenue recognized by them as well as the payment for all other aspects related to our providing the imaging services, for which we earn management fees. As it relates to other centers, this service fee revenue is earned through providing the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services as well as providing administration services such as clerical and administrative personnel, bookkeeping and accounting services, billing and collection, provision of medical and office supplies, secretarial, reception and transcription services, maintenance of medical records, and advertising, marketing and promotional activities.
32
Our revenues are based upon the estimated amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payors. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care and commercial insurance plans are based upon historical collection experience of the payments received from such payors in accordance with the underlying contractual agreements. Revenues related to uninsured patients and copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have price concessions applied. We also record estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect.
Under capitation arrangements with various health plans, we earn a per-enrollee amount each month for making available diagnostic imaging services to all plan enrollees under the capitation arrangement. Revenue under capitation arrangements is recognized in the period in which we are obligated to provide services to plan enrollees under contracts with various health plans.
Provider Relief Fund (COVID-19 Stimulus Funding)
The Provider Relief Fund offers government assistance to eligible providers throughout the healthcare system in support of certain expenses or lost revenue attributable to the coronavirus pandemic. In the third quarter of 2020, we received approximately $0.2 million in funding and for nine months ended September 30, 2020 we have received funding of $25.7 million. Generally, the department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") does not intend to recoup funds as long as a provider's lost revenue and increased expenses exceed the amount of provider relief funding one has received. HHS reserves the right to audit Relief Fund recipients in the future to ensure that this requirement is met and collect any Relief Fund amounts that were made in error or exceed lost revenue or increased expenses due to the pandemic. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions may be grounds for recoupment. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we continued to evaluate our operating results and gave consideration to the updated reporting guidelines issued in September by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that significantly changed the measurement of Provider Relief Fund distributions providers are able to retain. Based on our assessment recognition of the revenue previously recognized remained appropriate.
Accounts Receivable
Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers. Receivables generally are collected within industry norms for third-party payors. We continuously monitor collections from our payors and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon specific payor collection issues that we have identified and our historical experience. In regards to the credit loss standard, our expectation is that the historical credit loss experienced across our receivable portfolio is materially similar to any current expected credit losses that would be estimated under the CECL model.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is computed using an asset and liability method and using expected annual effective tax rates. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in the financial reporting bases and the income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefit that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. When it appears more likely than not that deferred taxes will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its estimated realizable value. For net deferred tax assets we consider estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
Deferred Revenue
In April of 2020, we received approximately $39.4 million in advanced Medicare payments from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") as part of the expanded Accelerated and Advance Payment Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. As these payments are required to be repaid to CMS beginning 120 days after their receipt through offsets from new Medicare claims over a three month period, we have recorded amounts received to deferred revenue which will be amortized as Medicare reimbursements are earned. In addition, in May of 2020 we received $5.0 million in advance payments from an insurance carrier with similar repayment terms as the CMS.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is performed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired, which range
33
from 3 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized at the lesser of lease term or their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 15 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Business Combination
We evaluate all purchases under the framework in ASU No. 2017-01 (“ASU 2017-01”), Clarifying the Definition of a Business. Once the purchase has been determined to be the acquisition of a business, we are required to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangibles
Goodwill at September 30, 2020 totaled $470.7 million. Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets at September 30, 2020 were $11.3 million and are associated with the value of certain trade name intangibles. Goodwill and trade name intangibles are recorded as a result of business combinations. When we determine the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value an impairment charge would be recognized and should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We tested goodwill for impairment on October 1, 2019. In addition to the annual impairment test, we regularly assess if an event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. We considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and did not identify an indication of goodwill impairment being more likely than not through September 30, 2020.
Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate our long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangibles, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. To evaluate the long-lived assets our management estimates the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset or in the case of assets we expect to sell, at fair value less costs to sell. No indicators of impairment were identified with respect to our long-lived assets as of September 30, 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization of Long-Lived Assets
We depreciate our long-lived assets over their estimated economic useful lives with the exception of leasehold improvements where we use the shorter of the assets useful lives or the lease term of the facility for which these assets are associated. We estimate the economic useful lives of assets, other than leasehold improvements, to be between 3 and 15 years depending on the type of asset.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long term operating lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current finance lease liability, and long-term finance lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. We include options to extend a lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For a contract in which we are a lessee that contains fixed payments for both lease and non-lease components, we have elected to account for the components as a single lease component, as permitted. For finance leases, interest expense on the lease liability is recognized using the effective interest method and amortization of the ROU asset is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. ROU assets
34
are tested for impairment if circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our ROU assets consist of facility and equipment assets on operating leases. No events have occurred such as fire, flood, or other acts which have impaired the integrity of our ROU assets in 2020. Our facility leases require us to maintain insurance policies which would cover major damage to our facilities. We maintain business interruption insurance to cover loss of business due to a facility becoming non-operational under certain circumstances. Our equipment leases are covered by warranty and service contracts which cover repairs and provide regular maintenance to keep the equipment in functioning order.
Equity Based Compensation
We have one long-term incentive plan that we adopted in 2006 and which we first amended and restated as of April 20, 2015, and again on March 9, 2017 (the “Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual stockholders meeting on June 8, 2017. We have reserved 14,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Restated Plan which can be issued in the form of options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and cash awards. Stock options generally vest over three to five years and expire five to ten years from date of grant. We determine the compensation expense for each stock option award using the Black Scholes, or similar valuation model. Those models require that our management make certain estimates concerning risk free interest rates and volatility in the trading price of our common stock. The compensation expense recognized for all equity-based awards is recognized over the awards’ service periods. Equity-based compensation is classified in operating expenses within the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees. In connection with our acquisition of DeepHealth Inc. on June 1, 2020, we assumed the DeepHealth, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, including outstanding options awards that can be exercised for our common stock. No additional awards will be granted under the DeepHealth, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. See Note 4, Facility Acquisitions and Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation, for more information.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are party to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, we evaluate the developments on a regular basis and accrue a liability when we believe a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on current information, we do not believe that reasonably possible or probable losses associated with pending legal proceedings would either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business and consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these matters were resolved against us for amounts in excess of management's expectations, our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable, could be materially adversely affected.

Our nationwide operations were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic starting mid March 2020 and has resulted in an approximate 5% decrease in same center procedural volumes compared to the same period last year. Same Center Revenue however remained flat due to a 14% rise in revenue under capitation arrangements stemming from a combination of rate increases, plan membership growth and higher copays. This comparison excludes revenue contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net service fee revenue from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was $3.1 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net service fee revenue from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was $4.0 million.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased approximately $7.2 million, or 2.6%, from $275.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $268.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The decrease in salaries expense was a result of staff furloughs and salary reductions initiated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, we have reengineered our workflow to improve efficiency and make workforce adjustments as necessary resulting in reductions to payroll overall. This comparison excludes expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was $3.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was approximately $2.5 million.

Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation increased $0.7 million, or 49.7% to approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.4 million for three months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was driven by the higher fair value of RSA’s awarded and vested in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to RSA’s awarded and vested in the prior year’s third quarter.

The increase in same center depreciation and amortization is primarily due to additional equipment and leasehold improvements placed in service in the third quarter in 2020 over the third quarter in 2019. This comparison excludes expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, depreciation expense from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was $0.7 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, depreciation and amortization from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was $0.6 million.
Loss on sale and disposal of equipment and other
We recorded losses on the disposal of equipment and other items of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Non-cash change in fair value of interest rate hedge
We recorded expense of $0.7 million for the ineffective portion of our 2019 Swaps for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Other (income) expenses
We recorded other income of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and other expenses of approximately $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to refinancing of our term loan debt and legal contingency charges.

Excluding interest expense for derivatives and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, interest expense decreased $2.7 million, or 24.7%. The reduction in interest expense corresponds to lowered variable LIBOR and Prime interest rates paid on our term loan and revolving debt in reaction to market conditions surrounding COVID-19. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for more details on our credit facilities.
Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures
For the three months ended September 30, 2020 we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures in the amount of $2.3 million and for three months ended September 30, 2019 we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $2.0 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 16.4% and was related to improved procedure volumes specifically at our joint venture sites located within hospital campuses.
Income tax provision
39
We recorded an income tax provision of $3.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 27.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an income tax provision of $1.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 26.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 diverge from the federal statutory rate due to (i) noncontrolling interests due to the controlled partnerships; (ii) effects of state income taxes; and (iii) excess tax benefits attributable to share-based compensation.

The decrease in salaries expense was a result of staff furloughs and salary reductions initiated in response to the COVID-19 crisis. As noted in our quarterly explanation above, our review of operational workflows has provided greater efficiencies and resulted in payroll reductions. Additionally certain of our subsidiaries have accepted approximately $4.0 million in loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the funds were used to pay program approved payroll expenses to both maintain and rehire furloughed employees. This comparison excludes expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was $20.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was approximately $20.1 million.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation increased $3.2 million, or 45.7% to approximately $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $7.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was driven by the higher fair value of RSA’s awarded and vested in the nine months of 2020 as compared to RSA’s awarded and vested in the prior year’s same period.

Same Center | $31,155 | $30,971 | $184 | 0.6% |
Year over year medical supplies expense remained relatively flat due to varying factors. The first quarter noted a 21% same store increase stemming from securing personal protective equipment and procurement of specialized imaging agents, while in the second quarter, a 25% same store expense reduction was correlated to lower procedural volumes. In the third quarter we consumed medical supplies ordered in prior periods to meet patient demands. The cumulative effect of these factors has resulted in the year over year stability of medical supplies expense. This comparison excludes expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, medical supplies expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to April 1, 2018 and excluded from the above comparison was $2.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, medical supplies expense from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was $2.7 million.

The increase in same center depreciation and amortization is primarily due to additional equipment and leasehold improvements placed in service in the nine months of 2020 over the same period in 2019. This comparison excludes expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, depreciation expense from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2019 and excluded from the above comparison was $3.6 million.

Loss on sale and disposal of equipment and other
We recorded losses on the disposal of equipment and other items of approximately $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and approximately $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Non-cash change in fair value of interest rate hedge
We recorded expense of $4.5 million for the ineffective portion of our 2019 Swaps for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Other (income) expenses
We recorded other income of approximately $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and other expenses of approximately $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to refinancing of our term loan debt and legal contingency charges.
Severance Costs
We incurred severance expenses of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Excluding interest expense for derivatives and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, interest expense decreased $7.6 million, or 22.0%. The reduction in interest expense corresponds to lowered variable LIBOR and Prime interest rates paid on our term loan and revolving debt in reaction to market conditions surrounding COVID-19. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for more details on our credit facilities.
Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures in the amount of $5.2 million and for nine months ended September 30, 2019 we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $6.1 million, an decrease of $0.9 million or 14.8%, related to market conditions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Income tax benefit
We recorded an income tax benefit of $5.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 28.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an income tax provision of $3.6 million , or an effective tax rate of 24.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 diverge from the federal statutory rate due to (i) noncontrolling interests due to the controlled partnerships; (ii) effects of state income taxes; and (iii) excess tax benefits attributable to share-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA
We use both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure our financial results. We believe that, in addition to GAAP metrics, these non-GAAP metrics assist us in measuring our cash generated from operations and ability to service our debt obligations. We believe this information is useful to investors and other interested parties because we are highly leveraged and our non-GAAP metrics remove non-cash and certain other charges that occur in the affected period and provide a basis for measuring the Company's financial condition against other quarters.
One non-GAAP measure we believe assists us is Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations and excluding losses or gains on the disposal of equipment, other income or loss, loss on debt extinguishment, bargain purchase gains and non-cash equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA includes equity earnings in unconsolidated operations and subtracts allocations of earnings to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, and is adjusted for non-cash or extraordinary and one-time events taking place during the period. We have not made specific adjustments to our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in response to COVID 19. Our net income reflected below includes the effect of the $25 million in other revenue received under the Provider Relief Fund. We have treated the PPP loans as debt, and accordingly will be liable for an interest charge related to those loans which will be included in interest expense, although the loans may ultimately be forgiven.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used as an analytical indicator by us and the healthcare industry to assess business performance, and is a measure of leverage capacity and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or
43
other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is most comparable to the GAAP financial measure, net income (loss) attributable to RadNet, Inc. common stockholders. The following is a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) attributable to RadNet, Inc. common stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations. In addition to operations, we require a significant amount of capital for the initial start-up and development of new diagnostic imaging facilities, the acquisition of additional facilities and new diagnostic imaging equipment. Because our cash flows from operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with third parties.
As noted in our forward looking statements, the COVID 19 pandemic has resulted in a reduction of procedure volumes and corresponding operating revenues. We are uncertain of the duration and ultimate severity of its effects. Although we are undertaking measures to reduce operating expenses and have received government stimulus funding, we may continue to experience operating losses. We have credit available from our current credit facilities and borrowing under those facilities is subject to continued compliance with lending covenants. We currently meet those requirements, but substantial and sustained operating losses could impact our ability to borrow under those facilities. If we are not able to meet such requirements, we may
44
be required to seek additional financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing from other sources on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
On a continuing basis, we also consider various transactions to increase shareholder value and enhance our business results, including acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures. These types of transactions may result in future cash proceeds or payments but the general timing, size or success of any acquisition, divestiture or joint venture effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We expect to fund any future acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including borrowing from amounts available under our senior secured credit facilities or through new equity or debt issuances.
We and our subsidiaries or affiliates may from time to time, in our sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.
Sources and Uses of Cash
The following table summarizes key components of our sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:
Cash Flow Data | September 30, 2020 | September 30, 2019 | |||||||||
Cash provided by operating activities | $ | 170,343 | $ | 82,603 | |||||||
Cash used in investing activities | (88,280) | (93,981) | |||||||||
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities | (32,495) | 38,705 |
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $170.3 million and $82.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our cash provided by operating activities was benefited by the reciept of $39.4 million in CMS advances recorded as deferred revenue.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, included purchases of property and equipment for approximately $77.3 million and the acquisition of imaging and software business assets for $10.1 million.
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was due to principal payments on our term loans and equipment debt obligations.
In 2018 and 2019 we entered into factoring agreements with various institutions and sold certain accounts receivable under non-recourse agreements. These transactions are accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable as the agreements transfer effective control over and risk related to the receivables to the buyers. Payments on the associated notes receivables will be reflected as operating activities on our statement of cash flows and on our balance sheet as prepaid expenses and other current assets for the current portion and deposits and other for the long term portion. At September 30, 2020 we have $20.4 million, net of discount, remaining to be collected on these agreements. We do not utilize factoring arrangements as an integral part of our financing for working capital.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
We maintain secured credit facilities with Barclays Bank PLC and with SunTrust. The Barclays credit facilities are comprised of first lien term loans and a revolving credit facility. On August 28, 2020 we amended the Barclays credit facilities to increase the amount available under the revolving line of credit to $195.0 million. The SunTrust credit facilities are comprised of a term loan and a revolving credit facility of $30.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit facilities. Deferred financing costs at September 30, 2020, net of accumulated amortization, was $1.9 million and is specifically related to our Barclays revolving credit facility.
Included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020 are $673.2 million of total term loan debt (exclusive of unamortized discounts of $10.7 million) in thousands:

At September 30, 2020, we had no borrowings under our Barclays or SunTrust revolving credit facilities. After reserves for outstanding letters of credit of $6.3 million on our Barclays Revolving Credit Facility, we have $188.7 million available for borrowing and $30.0 million available under our SunTrust revolving credit facility. For more information on our secured credit facilities see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk: We receive payment for our services exclusively in United States dollars. As a result, our financial results are unlikely to be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency, exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.
We maintain research and development facilities in Prince Edward Island, Canada and Budapest, Hungary for which expenses are paid in the local currency. Accordingly, we do have currency risk resulting from fluctuations between such local currency and the United States Dollar. At the present time, we do not have any foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate this risk. At September 30, 2020, a hypothetical 1% decline in the currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and the Hungarian Forint would have resulted in an annual increase of approximately $27,500 in operating expenses.
Interest Rate Sensitivity: We pay interest on various types of debt instruments to our suppliers and lending institutions. The agreements entail either fixed or variable interest rates. Instruments which have fixed rates are mainly leases on radiology equipment. Variable rate interest obligations relate primarily to amounts borrowed under our outstanding credit facilities. Accordingly, our interest expense and consequently, our earnings, are affected by changes in short term interest rates. However due to our purchase of caps, described below, the effects of interest rate changes are limited.
At September 30, 2020, we had $620.7 million outstanding subject to an adjusted Eurodollar election on First Lien Term Loans. We can elect Eurodollar or Base Rate (Prime) interest rate options on amounts outstanding under the First Lien Term Loans. To mitigate interest rate risk sensitivity, in the fourth quarter of 2016 we entered into two forward interest rate cap agreements (the “2016 Caps”) which were designated at inception as cash flow hedges of future cash interest payments. The 2016 Caps are designed to provide a hedge against interest rate increases. Under these arrangements, we purchased a cap on 3 month LIBOR at 2.0%. At September 30, 2020, our effective 6 month LIBOR was 1.00%. A hypothetical 1% increase in the adjusted Eurodollar rates under the First Lien Credit Agreement over the current Eurodollar rate would result in an increase of $6.2 million in annual interest expense and a corresponding decrease in income before taxes. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, for further information.
At September 30, 2020, we had $52.5 million outstanding subject to an adjusted Eurodollar election on the SunTrust Restated Credit Agreement. We can elect Eurodollar or Base Rate (Prime) interest rate options on amounts outstanding under the SunTrust Restated Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2020, our effective LIBOR rate plus applicable margin was 2.31%. A hypothetical 1% increase in the adjusted Eurodollar rates under the SunTrust Restated Credit Agreement would result in an increase of approximately $0.5 million in annual interest expense and a corresponding decrease in income before taxes.
In the second quarter of 2019, we entered into four forward interest rate agreements ("2019 Swaps"). The 2019 Swaps have total notional amounts of $500,000,000, consisting of two agreements of $50,000,000 each and two agreements of $200,000,000 each. The 2019 Swaps will secure a constant interest rate associated with portions of our variable rate bank debt and have an effective date of October 13, 2020. They will mature in October 2023 for the smaller notional and October 2025 for the larger notional. Under these arrangements, we arranged the 2019 Swaps with locked in 1 month LIBOR rates at 1.96% for the $100,000,000 notional and at 2.05% for the $400,000,000 notional. As of the effective date, we will be liable for premium payments if interest rates decline below arranged rates, but will receive interest payments if rates remain above the arranged rates.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
46
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that we are able to collect the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC, and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report for the purposes set forth above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during three months ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
