NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Rennova Health, Inc. (“Rennova”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “its” or “our”) is a provider of health care services. The Company owns one operating hospital in Oneida, Tennessee, a hospital located in Jamestown, Tennessee that it plans to reopen and operate and an operating rural health clinic in Kentucky. In addition, the Company owns a subsidiary providing services in the behavioral health sector on the campus of its hospital in Oneida, Tennessee. The Company’s operations consist of only one segment.
Scott County Community Hospital (d/b/a Big South Fork Medical Center)
On January 13, 2017, we acquired certain assets related to Scott County Community Hospital, based in Oneida, Tennessee (the “Oneida Assets”). The Oneida Assets include a 52,000-square foot hospital building and 6,300-square foot professional building on approximately 4.3 acres. Scott County Community Hospital has 25 beds, a 24/7 emergency department and a laboratory that provides a range of diagnostic services. Scott County Community Hospital closed in July 2016 in connection with the bankruptcy filing of its parent company, Pioneer Health Services, Inc. We acquired the Oneida Assets out of bankruptcy for a purchase price of $1.0 million. The hospital, which has since been renamed Big South Fork Medical Center, became operational on August 8, 2017. The hospital became certified as a Critical Access Hospital (rural) hospital in December 2021, retroactive to June 30, 2021.
CarePlus Clinic
On March 5, 2019, we acquired certain assets related to an outpatient clinic located in Williamsburg, Kentucky, known as CarePlus Clinic. The clinic and its associated assets, which were acquired from CarePlus Rural Health Clinic, LLC, offers compassionate care in a modern, patient-friendly facility. The CarePlus Clinic is located 32 miles northwest of our Big South Fork Medical Center.
Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc.
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company formed a subsidiary, Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc. (“Myrtle”), to pursue opportunities in the behavioral health sector, initially in our core, rural markets. We are leveraging our existing physical locations and corporate and regional infrastructure to offer behavioral health services, including substance abuse treatment. Services are provided on either an inpatient, residential basis or an outpatient basis.
On August 10, 2023, Myrtle was granted a license by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services of Tennessee to operate an alcohol and drug treatment facility in Oneida Tennessee. The facility, which is located at Rennova’s Big South Fork Medical Center campus, commenced operations and began accepting patients on August 14, 2023. The facility offers alcohol and drug residential detoxification and residential rehabilitation treatment services for up to 30 patients. Myrtle began offering outpatient opiate treatment services at its Oneida facility on November 1, 2023 as more fully discussed in Note 15.
On April 11, 2023, Myrtle sold shares of its common stock equivalent to a 1.961% ownership stake in the subsidiary for de minimis value to an unaffiliated individual licensed as a physician in Tennessee. The shares have certain transfer restrictions, including the right of the subsidiary to transfer the shares to another physician licensed in Tennessee for de minimis value. The shares were sold to the individual for Tennessee healthcare regulatory reasons.
Jamestown Regional Medical Center
On June 1, 2018, we acquired from Community Health Systems, Inc. certain assets related to an acute care hospital located in Jamestown, Tennessee, referred to as Jamestown Regional Medical Center, for a purchase price of $0.7 million. The hospital is an 85-bed facility of approximately 90,000-square feet on over eight acres of land, which offered a 24-hour emergency department with two trauma bays and seven private exam rooms, inpatient and outpatient medical services and a progressive care unit which provided telemetry services. The acquisition also included a separate physician practice known as Mountain View Physician Practice, Inc.
The Company suspended operations at the hospital and physician practice in June 2019, as a result of the termination of the hospital’s Medicare agreement and other factors. The Company is evaluating whether to reopen the facility as an acute care hospital or as another type of healthcare facility. Jamestown is located 38 miles west of Big South Fork Medical Center.

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as filed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and changes in stockholders’ deficit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 may not be indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), include the accounts of Rennova and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, comprehensive income (loss) was equal to the net income (loss) amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include the estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, contractual allowances and bad debt reserves, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, the valuations of investments, equity and derivative instruments, deemed dividends, litigation and related reserves, among others. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” including subsequently issued updates. Under the accounting guidance, our revenues are presented net of estimated contractual allowances and estimated implicit price concessions. We also do not present “allowances for doubtful accounts” on our balance sheets.

Our revenues relate to contracts with patients in which our performance obligations are to provide health care services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide health care services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for inpatient services are generally satisfied over periods averaging approximately three days, and revenues are recognized based on charges incurred. Our performance obligations for outpatient services, including emergency room-related 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 payer (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 payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges. Medicare, because of the Big South Fork Medical Center’s designation as a Critical Access Hospital, generally pays for inpatient and outpatient services at rates related to the hospital’s costs. Services provided to patients having Medicaid coverage are generally paid at prospectively determined rates per discharge, per identified service or per covered member. Agreements with commercial insurance carriers, managed care and preferred provider organizations generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates 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. Our net revenues are based upon the estimated amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payers. 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 uninsured 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.
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Estimated reimbursement amounts are adjusted in subsequent periods as cost reports are prepared and filed and as final settlements are determined (in relation to certain government programs, primarily Medicare, this is generally referred to as the “cost report” filing and settlement process). As of September 30, 2023, $0.9 million of Medicare cost report settlement reserves were recorded as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as more fully discussed in Note 5.
The collection of outstanding receivables for Medicare, Medicaid, managed care payers, other third-party payers and patients is our primary source of operating cash and is critical to our operating performance. The primary collection risks relate to uninsured patient accounts, including patient accounts for which the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts (deductibles and copayments) remain outstanding. Implicit price concessions relate primarily to amounts due directly from patients. Estimated implicit price concessions are recorded for all uninsured accounts, regardless of the aging of those accounts. Accounts are written off when all reasonable internal and external collection efforts have been performed. The estimates for implicit price concessions are based upon management’s assessment of historical write offs and expected net collections, business and economic conditions, trends in federal, state and private employer health care coverage and other collection indicators. Management relies on the results of detailed reviews of historical write-offs and collections at facilities that represent a majority of our revenues and accounts receivable (the “hindsight analysis”) as a primary source of information in estimating the collectability of our accounts receivable.
Contractual Allowances and Doubtful Accounts Policy
Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of estimated contractual allowances and estimated implicit price concessions (also referred to as doubtful accounts), which are estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimating and reviewing the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to contractual allowances and doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues which may impact the receivables or reserve estimates. Receivables deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts at the time such receivables are written-off. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are recorded as credits to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Revisions to the allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded as an adjustment to revenues.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, estimated contractual allowances of $9.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and estimated implicit price concessions of $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, have been recorded as reductions to our revenues and accounts receivable balances to enable us to record our revenues and accounts receivable at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. As required by Topic 606, after estimated implicit price concessions and contractual and related allowance adjustments to revenues of $11.5 million and $11.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we reported net revenues of $3.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, estimated contractual allowances of $29.1 million and $23.4 million, respectively, and estimated implicit price concessions of $4.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, have been recorded as reductions to our revenues and accounts receivable balances to enable us to record our revenues and accounts receivable at the estimated amounts we expect to collect. As required by Topic 606, after estimated implicit price concessions and contractual and related allowance adjustments to revenues of $33.4 million and $29.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we reported net revenues of $14.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
We continue to review the provisions for implicit price concessions and contractual allowances. See Note 4 – Accounts Receivable.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
We account for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”). ASC 360 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the disposal of business segments and major lines of business. Long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available. Estimated fair value is generally either based on appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. The Company did not record an asset impairment charge during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Leases in Accordance with ASU No. 2016-02
We account for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires leases with durations greater than 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet. Upon adoption in 2019, we elected the package of transition provisions available which allowed us to carry forward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases. For operating leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related right-of-use assets and right-of-use obligations at the present value of lease payments over the term. For finance leases, we record the present value of the lease payments as finance lease obligations. We do not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. Our finance and operating leases are more fully discussed in Note 8.
Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
● | Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. | |
● | Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets). | |
● | Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including our own assumptions. |
On September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we applied the Level 3 fair value hierarchy in determining the fair value of InnovaQor, Inc.’s Series B-1 Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “InnovaQor Series B-1 Preferred Stock”), which is reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as an investment. Also, on September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we applied the Level 3 fair value hierarchy in determining the fair value of a derivative liability for an embedded conversion option of an outstanding convertible debenture. Our determination of fair value is more fully discussed in Note 9.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value, Including ASU 2017-11 and ASU 2021-04
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings (loss) per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in basic and diluted EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260).
11 |
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. The FASB issued this update to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The guidance clarifies whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (1) an adjustment to equity (that is, deemed dividends) and, if so, the related earnings per share (EPS) effects, if any, or (2) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. We adopted this new accounting guidance on January 1, 2022. Under the new guidance, the FASB decided not to include convertible debt instruments in the guidance because ASU No 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) requires that an entity capture the impact of changes in down round provision features of convertible debt within the fair value of the instruments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no changes in the fair values of the Company’s convertible debentures with down round provision features as these debentures issued in 2018 have floors of $ per share and were not in-the-money during these periods. Debentures are more fully discussed in Note 6.
There were no triggers of down round provisions to warrants during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The incremental value of modification to warrants as a result of triggers of the down round provisions of $330.5 million were recorded as deemed dividends in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 9 for an additional discussion of derivative financial instruments and deemed dividends.
In addition, we recorded deemed dividends of approximately $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the issuances of shares of our Series P Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series P Preferred Stock”), which is more fully discussed in Note 10.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, future tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates on future income tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. Future income tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized. When projected future taxable income is insufficient to provide for the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company recognizes a valuation allowance.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Derecognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability (or reducing a tax asset) that would reduce net assets. The Company did not have an unrecognized tax benefit at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including preferred stock, convertible debt, stock options and warrants outstanding for the period, with options and warrants determined using the treasury stock method. For purposes of the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation when their effect would be anti-dilutive. See Note 3 for the computation of earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
12 |
Reverse Stock Split
On March 15, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-10,000 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every shares of the Company’s common stock then outstanding was combined and automatically converted into one share of the Company’s common stock on March 15, 2022. The conversion and exercise prices of all of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock, common stock purchase warrants, stock options and convertible debentures were proportionately adjusted at the applicable reverse split ratio in accordance with the terms of such instruments. The par value and other terms of the common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. All share, per share and capital stock amounts and common stock equivalents presented herein have been restated where appropriate to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation
Effective November 5, 2021, the Company filed an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to provide that the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor provision thereto), voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the class or classes the number of authorized shares of which are being increased or decreased unless a vote by any holders of one or more series of preferred stock is required by the express terms of any series of preferred stock pursuant to the terms thereof.
Note 2 – Liquidity and Financial Condition
Going Concern
The Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirements of ASC 205-40.
At September 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit and a stockholders’ deficit of $41.5 million and $27.6 million, respectively. While the Company had net income of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, it incurred a net loss of $0.5 million and $ million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. As of the date of this report, its cash is deficient and payments for its operations in the ordinary course are not being made. Losses in prior years and other related factors, including past due accounts payable and payroll taxes, as well as payment defaults under the terms of outstanding notes payable and debentures, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the filing date of this report.
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company can continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations through realization of assets, and the settling of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s current financial condition may make it difficult to attract and maintain adequate expertise in its management team to successfully operate its healthcare facilities.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its business plan, raise any additional capital or secure the additional financing necessary to implement its current operating plan. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise adequate capital to fund its operations and repay its outstanding debt and other past due obligations, fully align its operating costs, increase its net revenues, and maintain profitable operations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
HHS Provider Relief Funds
The Company received HHS Provider Relief Funds, which were provided to eligible healthcare providers out of the $100 billion Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund provided for in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The funds were allocated to eligible healthcare providers for expenses and lost revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2023, our facilities have received approximately $13.6 million in relief funds. The fund payments are grants, not loans, and HHS will not require repayment, but the funds must be used only for grant approved purposes. Based on an analysis of the compliance and reporting requirements of the Provider Relief Funds and the impact of the pandemic on our operating results through September 30, 2023, we have recognized a net of $13.3 million of these funds as income of which $0.3 million was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and $0.6 million, $4.4 million and $8.0 million were recognized as income during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accordingly, approximately $0.3 million of relief funds received as of September 30, 2023 are included on our balance sheets in accrued expenses – see Note 5.
13 |
As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s estimate of the amount for which it is reasonably assured of meeting the underlying terms and conditions of the grants was based on, among other things, the various notices issued by HHS on September 19, 2020, October 22, 2020, and January 15, 2021 and the Company’s results of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company believes that it was appropriate to recognize a net of $13.3 million of the HHS Provider Relief Funds as income in various periods, as discussed in the paragraph above. Accordingly, the $13.3 million is not recognized as a liability at September 30, 2023. Additional guidance or new and amended interpretations of existing guidance on the terms and conditions of such payments may result in changes in the Company’s estimate of amounts for which the terms and conditions are reasonably assured of being met, and any such changes may be material. Additionally, any such changes may result in derecognition of amounts of income previously recognized, which may be material. If we are unable to attest to or comply with current or future terms and conditions, and there is no assurance we will be able to do so, our ability to retain some or all of the funds received may be impacted.
The Company has been served with a qui tam complaint with regards to the use of monies received from HHS Provider Relief Funds, as more fully discussed in Note 12.

The terms of certain of the warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures issued by the Company provide for reductions in the per share exercise prices of the warrants and the per share conversion prices of the debentures and preferred stock (if applicable and subject to floors in certain cases) in the event that the Company issues common stock or common stock equivalents (as that term is defined in the agreements) at an effective exercise/conversion price that is less than the then exercise/conversion prices of the outstanding warrants, preferred stock or debentures, as the case may be. In addition, many of these securities contain exercise or conversion prices that vary based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise/conversion (see Notes 6, 9 and 10). These provisions have resulted in significant dilution of the Company’s common stock.
As a result of the Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy (the “Voting Agreement”) discussed in Note 10 and the November 5, 2021 Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to provide that the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Company, which is more fully discussed in Note 1, as of the date of filing this report, the Company believes that it has the ability to ensure that it has and/or can obtain sufficient authorized shares of its common stock to cover all outstanding rights to acquire potentially dilutive common shares.
As a result of these down round provisions, the potential common stock and common stock equivalents totaled at November 6, 2023. See Note 10 for a discussion of the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common and preferred stock.

Note 8 – Finance and Operating Lease Obligations
We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases. For operating leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related right-of-use assets and right-of-use obligations at the present value of lease payments over the term. We do not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts.
Generally, we use our most recent agreed-upon borrowing interest rate at lease commencement as our interest rate, as most of our operating leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate.

Note 9 – Fair Value, Derivative Financial Instruments and Deemed Dividends
Fair Value Measurements
The estimated fair value of financial instruments was determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies considered to be appropriate. The fair value measurements accounting guidance is more fully discussed in Note 1. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, note receivable / receivable from related party, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their fair values due to their short-term nature.
The following table sets forth the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022:

InnovaQor Series B-1 Preferred Stock
During 2021, the Company sold several subsidiaries to InnovaQor. As consideration for the sale, the Company received 100 shares were used in 2021 to settle an outstanding liability leaving a balance of shares at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s InnovaQor Series B-1 Preferred Stock investment was determined based on the Option Price Method (the “OPM”). The OPM treats common and preferred interests as call options on the equity value of the subject company, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preference of the preferred interests and participation thresholds for subordinated classes. The Black Scholes model was used to price the call options. The assumptions used were: risk free rate of 0.84%; volatility of 250.0%; and exit period of 5 years. Lastly, a discount rate of 35% was applied due to the lack of marketability of the InnovaQor Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the underlying liquidity of InnovaQor’s common stock. shares of InnovaQor’s Series B-1 Preferred Stock of which
In reviewing the fair value of the InnovaQor Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Company believes that the value recorded at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of $9.0 million represents its fair value. In determining fair value, consideration was given to: (i) the variable rate conversion feature of the InnovaQor Series B-1 Preferred Stock in that changes in the price of the common stock do not affect conversion value; (ii) recent sales and offering prices by InnovaQor of shares of its common stock; (iii) that InnovaQor is actively seeking additional capital; and (iv) other considerations that we believe will bolster the underlying liquidity of InnovaQor’s common stock.

Embedded Conversion Option
The Company utilized the following method to value its derivative liability as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for an embedded conversion option related to an outstanding convertible debenture valued at $455,336. The Company determined the fair value by comparing the conversion price per share, which based on the conversion terms is 85% of the market price of the Company’s common stock, multiplied by the number of shares issuable at the balance sheet dates to the actual price per share of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the number of shares issuable at that date with the difference in value recorded as a liability.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no triggers of down round provisions of outstanding warrants and, therefore, no associated deemed dividends were recorded in the periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the conversions of preferred stock triggered a reduction in the exercise prices of warrants containing down round provisions. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the incremental fair value of the warrants, as a result of the decreases in the exercise prices, was measured using Black Scholes. The following assumptions were utilized in the Black Scholes valuation models for the nine months ended September 30, 2022: risk free rates ranging from 330.5 million were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. % to %, volatility ranging from % to % and terms ranging from to years.

Common Stock
The Company had billion and billion shares of its common stock issued and outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued billion shares of its common stock upon the conversions of shares of its Series N Preferred Stock and billion shares of its common stock upon conversions of shares of its Series O Preferred Stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued billion shares of its common stock upon the conversions of shares of its Series N Preferred Stock and billion shares of its common stock upon the conversions of shares of its Series O Preferred Stock.
The Company has outstanding options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures. Exercise of the outstanding options and warrants, and conversions of the convertible preferred stock and debentures could result in substantial dilution of the Company’s common stock and a decline in the market price of the common stock. In addition, the terms of certain of the warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures issued by the Company provide for reductions in the per share exercise prices of the warrants and the per share conversion prices of the debentures and preferred stock (if applicable and subject to a floor in certain cases), in the event that the Company issues common stock or common stock equivalents (as that term is defined in the agreements) at an effective exercise/conversion price that is less than the then exercise/conversion prices of the outstanding warrants, preferred stock or debentures, as the case may be. These provisions, as well as the issuances of debentures and preferred stock with conversion prices that vary based upon the price of our common stock on the date of conversion, have resulted in significant dilution of the Company’s common stock and have given rise to reverse splits of its common stock, including the Reverse Stock Split, which is more fully discussed in Note 1.
On August 13, 2020, Mr. Diamantis entered into the Voting Agreement with the Company, Mr. Lagan and Alcimede LLC (of which Mr. Lagan is the sole manager) pursuant to which Mr. Diamantis granted an irrevocable proxy to Mr. Lagan to vote the Series M Preferred Stock held by Mr. Diamantis. Mr. Diamantis has retained all other rights under the Series M Preferred Stock. Regardless of the number of shares of Series M Preferred Stock outstanding and so long as at least one share of Series M Preferred Stock is outstanding, the outstanding shares of Series M Preferred Stock shall have the number of votes, in the aggregate, equal to 51% of all votes entitled to be voted at any meeting of stockholders or action by written consent. This means that the holders of Series M Preferred Stock have sufficient votes, by themselves, to approve or defeat any proposal voted on by the Company’s stockholders, unless there is a supermajority required under applicable law or by agreement.
As a result of the Voting Agreement discussed above and the November 5, 2021 Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to provide that the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Company, which is more fully discussed in Note 1, as of the date of filing this report, the Company believes that it has the ability to ensure that it has and or can obtain sufficient authorized shares of its common stock to cover all outstanding rights to acquire potentially dilutive common shares.

Included in the warrants outstanding at September 30, 2023 were the March Warrants issued in March 2017 in connection with the March 2017 Debenture.

On September 30, 2023, the March Warrants were exercisable into an aggregate of approximately 190.0 billion shares of the Company’s common stock.

On September 30, 2023, the Series A, Series B and Series C Warrants each have an exercise price of $0.00009 per share, which reflects down round provision adjustments pursuant to their terms.

The number of shares of common stock issuable under outstanding warrants and the exercise prices of the warrants as reflected in the table above have been adjusted to reflect the full ratchet and other dilutive and down round provisions pursuant to the warrant agreements. As a result of the down round provisions of the outstanding warrants, subsequent issuances of the Company’s common stock or common stock equivalents at prices below the then current exercise prices of the warrants have resulted in increases in the number of shares issuable pursuant to the warrants and decreases in the exercise prices of the warrants. See, also, Notes 1 and 3 for a discussion of the dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock as a result of the outstanding warrants.
Deemed Dividends
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reductions in the exercise prices of the warrants gave rise to deemed dividends.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies
Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is generally diversified due to the large number of patients at its facilities. The Company does have significant receivable balances with government and other payers. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivables. However, the Company continually monitors and evaluates its client acceptance and collection procedures to minimize potential credit risks associated with its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is not material to the financial statements.
The Company maintains its cash balances in high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash balances may, at times, exceed the deposit insurance limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings related to contractual disputes, employment matters, regulatory and compliance matters, intellectual property rights and other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company operates in a highly regulated industry which may inherently lend itself to legal matters. Management is aware that litigation has associated costs and that results of adverse litigation verdicts could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company’s policy is to expense legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the legal proceedings in the period in which the expense is incurred. Management, in consultation with legal counsel, has addressed known assertions and predicted unasserted claims below.
Biohealth Medical Laboratory, Inc. and PB Laboratories, LLC (the “Companies”) filed suit against CIGNA Health in 2015 alleging that CIGNA failed to pay claims for laboratory services the Companies provided to patients pursuant to CIGNA - issued and CIGNA - administered plans. In 2016, the U.S. District Court dismissed part of the Companies’ claims for lack of standing. The Companies appealed that decision to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which in late 2017 reversed the District Court’s decision and found that the Companies have standing to raise claims arising out of traditional insurance plans, as well as self-funded plans. In July 2019, the Companies and EPIC filed suit against CIGNA Health for failure to pay claims for laboratory services provided. Cigna Health, in turn, sued for alleged improper billing practices. The suit remains ongoing but because the Company did not have the financial resources to see the legal action to conclusion it assigned the benefit, if any, from the suit to Mr. Diamantis for his financial support to the Company and assumption of all costs to carry the case to conclusion. The suit is now expected to go to trial in the first quarter of 2024 if not previously settled.
On September 27, 2016, a tax warrant was issued against the Company by the Florida Department of Revenue (the “DOR”) for unpaid 2014 state income taxes in the approximate amount of $0.9 million, including penalties and interest. The Company entered into a Stipulation Agreement with the DOR allowing the Company to make monthly installments until July 2019. The Company has made payments to reduce the amount owed but did not discharge the liability in full. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company initiated contact with the DOR to begin negotiating payment terms for the balance owed. The Company has increased the balance accrued for this liability to $0.6 million at September 30, 2023.
On December 7, 2016, the holders of the Tegal Notes filed suit against the Company seeking payment for the amounts due under the notes and accrued interest. On April 23, 2018, the holders of the Tegal Notes received a judgment against the Company in the amount of $384,384 plus post-judgment interest. On June 1, 2023, the Company and the holders of the Tegal Notes agreed to settle all amounts owed pursuant to the judgment for a total of $462,500 comprised of an initial payment of $200,000 followed by six monthly payments of $43,750. The Company has made all required payments to date and, at the time of this filing, it has one monthly payment to make before year end to discharge this liability in full.

In July 2019, CHSPSC, the former owners of Jamestown Regional Medical Center, obtained judgments against the Company of $1.3 million. The Company has recorded these judgments as liabilities as of September 30, 2023. However, management believes that a number of insurance payments were made to CHSPSC for services provided after the change of ownership and believes that these payments will offset portions of the judgments.
On June 30, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Tennessee Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. Per the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company was obligated to pay a total of $109,739, payable in a lump sum payment of $32,922 on or before August 15, 2021 and in 24 consecutive monthly payments of $3,201 each on or before the 15th day of each month beginning September 15, 2021. The Company made the required payments to complete the terms of the settlement agreement and has no further liability as of September 30, 2023.
A sealed qui tam lawsuit in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Company was filed in July 2021. While the majority of the named defendants were dismissed from the lawsuit on June 28, 2023, the allegations against Rennova Health, Inc., Jellico Medical Center, Inc., and Jamestown TN Medical Center still remain. This lawsuit was unsealed in November 2022 and Clifford Barron disclosed as the Plaintiff-Relator (whistleblower) who asserted violations of the False Claims Act. Clifford Barron was an employee of CollabRx, Inc. (a San Francisco based, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) until early 2018. Following his resignation on January 17, 2018, Clifford Barron sought and received a judgment against the Company for approximately $253,000 he claimed was owed to him by the CollabRx subsidiary for severance and payment of COBRA. On receiving the judgment, he collected all monies owed to him under this judgment, including from the Company’s rural healthcare operations in Tennessee with which he was not involved. Payments included approximately $164,000 secured from hospital operating and other bank accounts by garnishments initiated by Jonathan Swann Taylor of Taylor & Knight, GP, Knoxville Tennessee, on behalf of Clifford Barron in May 2022. Clifford Barron has not been an employee of any subsidiary of the Company since January 2018, is not involved with the Company and has no knowledge of the Company’s operations, financial status, or controls. On November 21, 2022, the Company was advised that the U.S. Department of Justice was intervening in the action filed by the Plaintiff-Relator, Clifford Barron and has requested repayment of HHS Provider Relief Funds that certain subsidiaries of the Company obtained and other relief. The Company has retained the services of a specialist third-party accounting firm to complete a forensic review of the expenditure of all monies expended since the receipt of HHS Provider Relief Funds. It has been discovered that certain filing requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries were incomplete or contained errors that did not accurately reflect the expenditure of HHS Provider Relief Funds received. The Company disputes the allegations made in the False Claims Act complaint and believes that the forensic review of funds expended will address the lawsuit and demonstrate adherence with the applicable rules for use of HHS Provider Relief Funds. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain all HHS Provider Relief Funds it has received nor avoid payment of other relief sought by the Department of Justice. Any requirement to repay a significant amount of HHS Provider Relief Funds could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Note 13 – Discontinued Operations
EPIC Reference Labs, Inc. and Other Non-Operating Subsidiaries
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company made a decision to sell EPIC and it made a decision to discontinue other non-operating subsidiaries, and as a result, EPIC’s operations and the other non-operating subsidiaries’ liabilities have been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Company was unable to find a buyer for EPIC and, therefore, it has ceased all efforts to sell EPIC and closed down its operations.

Note 14 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance provides accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The FASB issued this Update to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The Board focused on amending the guidance on convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. This standard will be effective for us for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this standard is not permitted for us because we have already adopted ASU 2017-11 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” We have not yet determined the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The FASB issued this ASU to: (1) clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) amend a related illustrative example, and (3) introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this ASU do not change the principles of fair value measurement. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption of the amendments recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption. We have not yet determined the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
Note 15 – Subsequent Events
Debentures Amendment and Waiver Agreement
On October 25, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with the holders of its March Debenture and 2018 Debentures, which are more fully described in Note 6. As of September 30, 2023, there was $8.2 million principal amount of these debentures outstanding, including mandatory default amounts. Under the Amendment Agreement, all defaults under these debentures were waived and the maturity dates of these debentures were extended to December 31, 2025. Certain other amendments were also made in the terms of these debentures. As a result of the Amendment Agreement, the Company does not expect to recognize default interest in future periods, subject to remaining in compliance with covenants and other obligations.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Our Services
We are a provider of health care services for our patients. We own one operating hospital in Oneida, Tennessee, a hospital located in Jamestown, Tennessee that we plan to reopen, and operate and an operating rural clinic in Kentucky. In addition, the Company owns a subsidiary providing services in the behavioral health sector on the campus of its hospital in Oneida, Tennessee. The Company’s operations consist of only one segment.
Scott County Community Hospital (d/b/a Big South Fork Medical Center)
On January 13, 2017, we acquired certain assets related to Scott County Community Hospital, based in Oneida, Tennessee (the “Oneida Assets”). The Oneida Assets include a 52,000-square foot hospital building and 6,300-square foot professional building on approximately 4.3 acres. Scott County Community Hospital has 25 beds, a 24/7 emergency department and a laboratory that provides a range of diagnostic services. Scott County Community Hospital closed in July 2016 in connection with the bankruptcy filing of its parent company, Pioneer Health Services, Inc. We acquired the Oneida Assets out of bankruptcy for a purchase price of $1.0 million. The hospital, which has since been renamed Big South Fork Medical Center, became operational on August 8, 2017. The hospital became certified as a Critical Access Hospital (rural) hospital in December 2021, retroactive to June 30, 2021.
30 |
CarePlus Rural Health Clinic
On March 5, 2019, we acquired certain assets related to an outpatient clinic located in Williamsburg, Kentucky known as CarePlus Clinic. The clinic, which was acquired from CarePlus Rural Health Clinic, LLC, offers compassionate care in a modern, patient-friendly facility. The CarePlus Clinic is located 32 miles northeast of our Big South Fork Medical Center.
Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc.
In the second quarter of 2022, we formed a subsidiary, Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc. (“Myrtle”), to pursue opportunities in the behavioral health sector, initially in our core, rural markets. We are leveraging our existing physical locations and corporate and regional infrastructure to offer behavioral health services, including substance abuse treatment. Services are provided on either an inpatient, residential basis or an outpatient basis.
On August 10, 2023, Myrtle was granted a license by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services of Tennessee to operate an alcohol and drug treatment facility in Oneida Tennessee. The facility, which is located at Rennova’s Big South Fork Medical Center campus, commenced operations and began accepting patients on August 14, 2023. The facility offers alcohol and drug residential detoxification and residential rehabilitation treatment services for up to 30 patients. On November 1, 2023, Myrtle began offering outpatient opiate treatment services at its Oneida facility as more fully discussed below under “Recent Events”.
On April 11, 2023, Myrtle sold shares of its common stock equivalent to a 1.961% ownership stake in the subsidiary for de minimis value to an unaffiliated individual licensed as a physician in Tennessee. The shares have certain transfer restrictions, including the right of the subsidiary to transfer the shares to another physician licensed in Tennessee for de minimis value. The shares were sold to the individual for Tennessee healthcare regulatory reasons.
Jamestown Regional Medical Center
On June 1, 2018, we acquired from Community Health Systems, Inc. certain assets related to an acute care hospital located in Jamestown, Tennessee, referred to as Jamestown Regional Medical Center, for a purchase price of $0.7 million. The hospital is an 85-bed facility of approximately 90,000-square feet on over eight acres of land, which offered a 24-hour emergency department with two trauma bays and seven private exam rooms, inpatient and outpatient medical services and a progressive care unit which provided telemetry services. The acquisition also included a separate physician practice known as Mountain View Physician Practice, Inc.
The Company suspended operations at the hospital and physician practice in June 2019, as a result of the termination of the hospital’s Medicare agreement and other factors. The Company is evaluating whether to reopen the facility as an acute care hospital or as another type of healthcare facility. Jamestown is located 38 miles west of Big South Fork Medical Center.
Recent Events
Debentures Amendment and Waiver Agreement
On October 25, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with the holders of its debentures, which are more fully described in Note 6 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2023, there was $8.2 million principal amount of these debentures outstanding, including mandatory default amounts, and $6.2 million in accrued interest. Under the Amendment Agreement, all defaults under these debentures were waived and the maturity dates of these debentures were extended to December 31, 2025. Certain other amendments were also made in the terms of these debentures. As a result of the Amendment Agreement, the Company does not expect to recognize default interest in future periods, subject to remaining in compliance with covenants and other obligations.
Opening of Myrtle Nonresidential Office-Based Opiate Treatment Facility
On November 1, 2023, Myrtle began accepting patients at its recently opened Nonresidential Office-Based Opiate Treatment Facility (“OBOT”). The OBOT is located adjacent to Myrtle’s alcohol and drug treatment facility in Oneida, Tennessee and supplements the existing residential rehabilitation and detoxification services offered at Myrtle, which is more fully discussed above.

Outlook
We currently operate one hospital, a rural health clinic and an alcohol and drug treatment and OBOT facility. We also own another hospital at which operations are currently suspended. Owning a number of facilities in the same geographic location will create numerous efficiencies in management, purchasing and staffing and will enable the provision of additional, specialized and more valuable services that are needed by rural communities but cannot be sustained by a standalone facility. We remain confident that this is a sustainable model we can continue to grow through acquisition and development.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net Revenues
Net revenues were $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net revenues of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $0.7 million. We attribute the increase in net revenues to greater inpatient admissions, increased outpatient and emergency room services and higher reimbursement rates.
Direct Cost of Revenues
Direct costs of revenues remained constant at $1.8 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. As a result of the increase in net revenues, direct costs decreased to 51.1% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 64.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Myrtle and our hospital operations contributed approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million of the increase, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of approximately $0.1 million of corporate related expenses. Myrtle began accepting patients on August 14, 2023. The increase in our hospital operations expenses was primarily due to an increase in employee related expenses and other professional fees.
32 |
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $56,796 and $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease was due to fully depreciating certain fixed assets.
Loss from Continuing Operations Before Other Income (Expense), Income Taxes and Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Loss from continuing operations before other income (expense), income taxes and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.6 million compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We attribute the decrease in the loss in the 2023 period primarily to the $0.7 million increase in net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable 2022 period, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus the 2022 period.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 consisted primarily of approximately $0.3 million from HHS Provider Relief Funds and $0.1 million of non-cash interest income and other miscellaneous income, partially offset by $0.1 million of accrued penalties and interest on past due payroll taxes. Other income, net of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 consisted primarily of adjustments totaling approximately $0.2 million for certain previously accrued payroll related expenses, $0.1 million of non-cash interest income and $0.1 million of other income, net from various items, partially offset by $0.3 million of HHS Provider Relief Funds liabilities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of interest expense on debentures and notes payable.
Benefit for Income Taxes
The benefit for income taxes of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was due to a revision to the estimated taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2023, partly offset by an increase in the amount due for state income taxes.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.5 million, as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in the 2023 period as compared to the 2022 period was primarily due to a $0.3 million reduction in the loss from continuing operations before other income (expense), income taxes and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the 2022 period, $0.3 million of other income, net in the 2023 period compared to other income, net of $0.1 million in the 2022 period and a decrease in interest expense of $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus the comparable 2022 period, partially offset by a gain from legal settlement, net of $0.1 million in the 2022 period.

Net Revenues
Net revenues were $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $7.3 million. We attribute the increase in net revenues to greater inpatient admissions, increased outpatient and emergency room services, higher reimbursement rates and certain collections from prior periods related to Critical Access Hospital designation at our Big South Fork Medical Center. We began billing as a Critical Access Hospital in the three months ended June 30, 2022 retroactive to June 30, 2021.
Direct Costs of Revenues
Direct costs of revenue increased by $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We attribute the increase primarily to higher salaries and wages and supply costs. Salaries and wages increased primarily due to greater inpatient admissions and increased non-clinical staffing, partially offset by reduced contract labor. Central supplies increased as a result of the increase in patient admissions.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the 2022 period. Myrtle and our hospital operations contributed approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million of the increase, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of approximately $0.2 million of corporate related expenses. Myrtle began accepting patients on August 14, 2023. Our hospital operations general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increased employee related expenses, professional and purchased services and property taxes.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the 2022 period as a result of fully depreciating certain fixed assets.
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Other Income (Expense), Income Taxes and Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Our income from continuing operations before other income (expense), income taxes and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.2 million compared to a loss of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We attribute the $5.0 million improvement in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to the $7.3 million increase in net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable 2022 period, partially offset by higher direct costs of revenues and general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus the 2022 period.
34 |
Other Income, net
Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $0.5 million consisted primarily of $0.3 million from HHS Provider Relief Funds as well as approximately $0.5 million from various other miscellaneous income items, including $36,455 of non-cash interest income, partially offset by $0.3 million of penalties and interest associated with past due payroll taxes. Other income, net of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consisted primarily of adjustments totaling approximately $0.3 million for certain previously accrued payroll related expenses and $0.1 million of non-cash interest income, as well as approximately $0.3 million of other income, net from various other items, partially offset by $0.3 million of HHS Provider Relief Funds liabilities and $0.3 million of penalties and interest associated with past due payroll taxes.
Gain from Forgiveness of Debt
Gain from forgiveness of debt of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted from the forgiveness of a portion of outstanding notes payable. Gain from forgiveness of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted from the forgiveness of PPP Notes.
Gain (Loss) from Legal Settlements, net
The gain (loss) from legal settlements, net was $0.3 million and ($15,410) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The gain from legal settlements, net in the 2023 period resulted primarily from a gain of $0.6 million from the settlement of an obligation under a note payable, partially offset by $0.3 million associated with the adjustment of reserves related to judgments with the former owners of Jamestown Regional Medical Center.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.4 million compared to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included approximately $1.3 million for interest on debentures and notes payable and $58,000 for interest on loans from Mr. Diamantis, a former member of our Board of Directors. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included $1.6 million for interest on debentures and notes payable and $0.1 million for interest on loans from Mr. Diamantis.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to no provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to the taxable income in the 2023 period versus a loss for the 2022 period.
Net Income (Loss] from Continuing Operations
Net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.5 million compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in the results from continuing operations in the 2023 period as compared to the 2022 period of approximately $5.6 million was primarily due to the income from continuing operations before other income (expense), income taxes and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest of $2.2 million in the 2023 period versus a loss of $2.8 in the comparable 2022 period, an increase of other income, net of $0.4 million in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period, a gain from legal settlements, net of $0.3 million in the 2023 period compared to a loss from legal settlements, net of ($15,410) in the 2022 period and a reduction in interest expense of $0.3 million in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. Partially offsetting the improvement was a decrease of $0.1 million in the gain from forgiveness of debt in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period and $0.3 million of income tax expense in the 2023 period versus no income tax expense in the 2022 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we financed our operations with the $3.1 million of cash that we generated from operations and $0.6 million of loans from Mr. Diamantis, a former member of our Board of Directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we financed our operations with $1.5 million from issuances of our Series P Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and $0.9 million of loans from Mr. Diamantis. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received $0.3 million from HHS Provider Relief Funds. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repaid $1.4 million of loans from Mr. Diamantis and $0.4 million of debentures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we repaid $0.9 million and $1.2 million of notes payable, respectively. Each of these financing transactions is more fully discussed in Notes 6 and 10 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Future cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, pursuit of opportunities in the behavioral health sector, debt service obligations and potential acquisitions will require management to seek additional capital. The sale/issuance of additional equity will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

Going Concern and Liquidity
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirement of ASC 205-40.
At September 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit and a stockholders’ deficit of $41.5 million and $27.6 million, respectively. While the Company had net income of $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, it incurred a net loss of $0.5 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. As of the date of this report, the Company’s cash is deficient and payments for its operations in the ordinary course are not being made. The losses and other related factors, including past due accounts payable and payroll taxes, as well as payment defaults under the terms of certain outstanding notes payable and debentures, as more fully discussed in Notes 5 and 6 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the filing date of this report.
The Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company can continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations through realization of assets, and the settling of liabilities in the normal course of business. In 2021, the Company sold subsidiaries to InnovaQor, Inc. and the Company received 14,950 shares of InnovaQor, Inc.’s Series B-1 Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “InnovaQor Series B-I Preferred Stock”) valued at $9.1 million as consideration for the sale. As of September 30, 2023, the Company held 14,850 shares of InnovaQor’s Series B-1 Preferred Stock valued at $9.0 million as an investment.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2023, we were party to legal proceedings, which are presented in Note 12 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Non-cash adjustments to net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $0.2 million include primarily $0.3 million of other income from forgiveness of PPP Notes and $0.1 million of non-cash interest income, offset by $0.4 million of depreciation and amortization and $0.3 million of loss from HHS Provider Relief Funds. |
Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents
The Company had 37,051,322,257 and 29,084,322,257 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 8.0 billion shares of its common stock upon conversions of 496.53 shares of its Series N Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series N Preferred Stock”) and 220.50 shares of its Series O Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series O Preferred Stock”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 8.4 billion shares of its common stock upon conversions of 2,352 shares of its Series N Preferred Stock and it issued 6.7 billion shares of its common stock upon conversions of 638 shares of its Series O Preferred Stock.
The terms of certain of the outstanding warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures issued by the Company provide for reductions in the per share exercise prices of the warrants and the per share conversion prices of the debentures and preferred stock (if applicable and subject to a floor in certain cases), in the event that the Company issues common stock or common stock equivalents (as that term is defined in the agreements) at an effective exercise/conversion price that is less than the then exercise/conversion price of the outstanding warrants, preferred stock or debentures, as the case may be. In addition, the majority of these equity-based securities contain exercise/conversion prices that vary based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise/conversion (see Notes 6, 9 and 10 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). These provisions have resulted in significant dilution of the Company’s common stock and have given rise to reverse splits of the Company’s common stock, including a 1-for-10,000 reverse stock split effected on March 15, 2022. As a result of these down round provisions, the potential common stock equivalents, including outstanding common stock, are 1.0 trillion at September 30, 2023 and November 6, 2023.
On August 13, 2020, Mr. Diamantis entered into the Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy (the “Voting Agreement”) with the Company, Mr. Seamus Lagan and Alcimede LLC (of which Mr. Lagan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is the sole manager) pursuant to which Mr. Diamantis granted an irrevocable proxy to Mr. Lagan to vote the Series M Preferred Stock held by Mr. Diamantis. Mr. Diamantis has retained all other rights under the Series M Preferred Stock. Regardless of the number of shares of Series M Preferred Stock outstanding and so long as at least one share of Series M Preferred Stock is outstanding, the outstanding shares of Series M Preferred Stock shall have the number of votes, in the aggregate, equal to 51% of all votes entitled to be voted at any meeting of stockholders or action by written consent. This means that the holders of Series M Preferred Stock have sufficient votes, by themselves, to approve or defeat any proposal voted on by the Company’s stockholders, unless there is a supermajority required under applicable law or by agreement.

Also, on November 5, 2021, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to provide that the number of authorized shares of its common stock or preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or any successor provision thereto), voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the class or classes the number of authorized shares of which are being increased or decreased unless a vote by any holders of one or more series of preferred stock is required by the express terms of any series of preferred stock pursuant to the terms thereof.
As a result of the Voting Agreement and the November 5, 2021 amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation discussed above, as of the date of filing of this report, the Company believes that it has the ability to ensure that it has and or can obtain sufficient authorized shares of its common stock to cover all potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding.
OTHER MATTERS
Inflation and Supply Chain Issues
The healthcare industry is very labor intensive, and salaries and benefits are subject to inflationary pressures, as are supply and other costs. The nationwide shortage of nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel has been a significant operating issue facing us and other healthcare providers. Like others in the healthcare industry, we continue to experience a shortage of nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel. This staffing shortage may require us to further enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain nurses and other clinical staff and support personnel or require us to hire expensive temporary personnel. Our ability to pass on increased costs associated with providing healthcare to Medicare and Medicaid patients is limited due to various federal, state and local laws which have been enacted that, in certain cases, limit our ability to increase prices.
COVID-19 Matters
Demand for services at our hospitals was substantially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the pandemic affected the hospitals’ ability to maintain adequate staffing levels which put pressure on salaries and wages and the need for higher cost, contract labor. The availability of supplies was limited, and supplies costs increased as well. Reduced demand and higher costs negatively affected our overall profitability and liquidity. Although the effects of COVID-19 have not been as significant in 2022 and 2023 as compared to prior years, a resurgence of COVID-19 in our markets could affect demand for services and increase our costs. In addition, government assistance programs may not be available as have been in the past to address such near-term profitability and liquidity pressures.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Under SEC regulations, we are required to disclose the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. Off-balance sheet arrangements consist of transactions, agreements or contractual arrangements to which any entity that is not consolidated with us is a party, under which we have:
● | Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts. | |
● | Any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets. | |
● | Any obligation under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, except that it is both indexed to the Company’s stock and classified in stockholder’s equity in the Company’s statement of financial position. | |
● | Any obligation arising out of a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us. |
38 |
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Interim Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), who also serves as our Interim Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Insufficient staffing, accounting processes and procedures led to a lack of contemporaneous documentation supporting the accounting for certain transactions and the approval of certain cash disbursements. There are risks related to the timing and accuracy of the integration of information from various accounting systems whereby the Company has experienced delays in receiving information in a timely manner from its subsidiaries. Based on these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, management concluded the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, we concluded that these material weaknesses continued to exist.
39 |
The Company expects improvements to be made on the integration of information issues during the remainder of 2023 and 2024 as we plan to move towards securing a more timely and accurate reporting system. The Company is continuing to further remediate the material weaknesses identified above. The Company has taken or is in the process of taking the following steps to remediate these material weaknesses: (i) increasing the staffing of its internal accounting department; and (ii) implementing enhanced documentation procedures to be followed by the internal accounting department.
Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented.
(b) | Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time-to-time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings related to contractual disputes, employment matters, regulatory and compliance matters, intellectual property rights and other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.

Management is aware that litigation has associated costs and that results of adverse litigation verdicts could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management, in consultation with legal counsel, has addressed known assertions and predicted unasserted claims, which are presented in Note 12 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
