Medical Transcription Billing, Corp.
 
Notes to CONDENSED Consolidated Financial Statements
AS OF AND FOR THE THREE and NINE MONTHS ENDED September 30, 2014 and 2013 (UnaUDITED)

 

1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

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

 

On July 28, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock. The Company sold 4,080,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share, generating net proceeds of $16.3 million. The common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “MTBC.” Of the net proceeds received from the IPO, $11.4 million was used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of three revenue cycle management companies, Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC, Practicare Medical Management, Inc. and CastleRock Solutions, Inc., and pay approximately $600,000 for acquisition costs. See Note 3 for additional information.

 

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Initial Public Offering Costs — Initial public offering costs consist primarily of professional fees, principally of legal and accounting costs, and other costs such as printing and registration costs incurred in connection with the IPO. The Company incurred approximately $4.1 million of costs directly attributable to the IPO, including $1.4 million of underwriting discounts. These costs were offset against the offering proceeds in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2014.

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

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which contains authoritative guidance that implements a common revenue model that will enhance comparability across industries and require enhanced disclosures. The new standard introduces a five-step principles-based process to determine the timing and amount of revenue ultimately expected to be received by the customer. This amendment will be effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 with either retrospective or modified retrospective treatment applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon implementation. Early adoption is not permitted.

 

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

 

3.ACQUISITIONS

 

On July 28, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of three revenue cycle management companies, Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC (“Omni”), Practicare Medical Management, Inc. (“Practicare”) and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. (“CastleRock”), and collectively with Omni and Practicare (the “Acquired Businesses”). The Company expects that these acquisitions will add a significant number of clients to the Company’s customer base and similar to other acquisitions, will broaden the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff.

 

Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company agreed to accept 10% of the cash collected related to July 2014 revenue and pay 10% of the July 2014 expenses for July 2014 for two of the Acquired Businesses and to forego any collections related to July 2014 revenue and pay no expenses related to July 2014 for the remaining Acquired Business.

 

The aggregate preliminary purchase price for the Acquired Businesses amounted to approximately $17.8 million, based on the common stock price of $3.89 per share, consisting of cash in the amount of approximately $11.4 million, which was funded from the net proceeds from the Company’s IPO on that date and 1,699,796 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $6.2 million based on the common stock price, subject to certain adjustments. Included in the consideration paid is $590,302 of cash and 1,699,796 shares of common stock with a value of approximately $6.6 million that the Company deposited into escrow under the purchase agreements, less a fair value adjustment of $390,000 which reflects the estimated value of shares in escrow which might be forfeited by the Acquired Businesses based on changes in revenue during the 12 months after the acquisitions. The cash escrow will be released 120 days after the acquisitions were completed, unless required to satisfy certain indemnification claims. 254,969 shares will be released to the sellers after six months, 133,703 shares will be released after nine months, and the remaining shares will be released after 12 months, subject to adjustments for changes in revenue.

 

With respect to Omni, following the closing date an upward purchase price adjustment was made to the cash consideration payable to Omni to pay for the annualized revenue from new customers who executed one-year contracts prior to the closing, instead of the trailing 12 months’ revenue. This resulted in additional consideration of $100,582 and 15,700 shares, which are included in the amounts above.

 

The difference between the Acquired Businesses’ operating results for the period July 28 through 31, 2014 and the amount of net funds received by the Company from the previous owners for that period was accounted for as additional preliminary purchase price (“Acquired Backlog”). This intangible (approximately $148,000) was fully amortized from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2014. This amortization is included in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

7
 

 

Under each purchase agreement, the Company may be required to issue or entitled to cancel shares issued to the Acquired Businesses in the event acquired customer revenues for the 12 months following the close are below or above a specified threshold. In the case of Practicare, the Company may also be required to make an additional cash payment, in the event post-closing revenues from customers acquired exceed a specified threshold.

 

The adjustments to the consideration for each of the Acquired Businesses will be based on the revenues generated from the acquired customers in the 12 months following the closing, as compared to the revenues generated by each of the Acquired Businesses in the four quarters ended March 31, 2014.

 

For each of Omni, Practicare and CastleRock, no adjustment will be made unless the variance is greater than 10%, 5% and 20%, respectively.

 

For each of the Acquired Businesses, the number of shares to be cancelled or issued as applicable will be calculated using a pre-determined formula in each of the purchase agreements.

 

The preliminary purchase price adjustment discussed above is considered a form of contingent consideration. This contingent consideration arrangement is an equity instrument and it is measured at fair value on the acquisition date and not subsequently remeasured. Any differences between the shares estimated to be issued at acquisition date and the shares ultimately issued will be accounted for within equity. The Company has estimated this amount of contingent consideration to be approximately $390,000 and has recorded this amount as a reduction of equity at September 30, 2014.

 

As of September 30, 2014, there were no changes in the recognized amounts or range of outcomes for the contingent consideration recognized as a result of the acquisitions.

 

As part of the acquisitions, the Company entered into short-term employee, office space and equipment customer lease agreements with each of the respective Acquired Businesses. These arrangements allow the Company to utilize certain personnel from the Acquired Businesses, as well as certain space and equipment located at the Acquired Business’ premises for a negotiated period of time.

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in accordance with the terms set forth in the purchase agreements, the preliminary purchase price and purchase price allocation as it relates to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and goodwill have not been finalized. The preliminary purchase price is expected to be finalized by the end of the first quarter in 2015. The following table summarizes the preliminary consideration and the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired:

 

   Common Stock       Acquired   Contingent   Total 
   Shares   Value   Cash   Backlog   Consideration   Consideration 
   (in thousands) 
Omni   1,049   $4,079   $6,655   $103   $(129)  $10,708

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

 

Customer contracts and relationships  $8,943,000 
Non-compete agreements   971,000 
Tangible assets   61,256 
Acquired backlog   148,408 
Goodwill   7,633,159 
Total purchase consideration  $17,756,823 

 

The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is three years.

 

The fair value of the customer relationships was established using a form of the income approach known as the excess earnings method. Under the excess earnings method, value is estimated as the present value of the benefits anticipated from ownership of the subject intangible asset in excess of the returns required on the investment in the contributory assets necessary to realize those benefits. The fair value of the non-compete agreements were determined based on the difference in the expected cash flows for the business with the non-compete agreement in place and without the non-compete agreement in place.

 

The goodwill is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over 15 years and represents the Company’s ability to have a local presence in several markets throughout the United States and the further ability to expand in those markets.

 

The revenue from former customers of Acquired Businesses whose contracts were acquired has been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations since the date of acquisition. Revenues of $3,635,033 related to Acquired Businesses are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Transaction-related costs associated with the acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses of $627,136 and $704,638 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $51,175 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were expensed as incurred, and included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Metro Medical Management Services Acquisition

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

 

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

 

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

Revenues of approximately $499,974 and $1,702,662 related to Metro Medical are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

 

Transaction-related costs associated with the acquisition of Metro Medical of approximately $111,500 and $181,500 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively were expensed as incurred, and included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The pro forma information below represents condensed consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses occurred on January 1, 2013 and Metro Medical occurred on January 1, 2012. The pro forma information has been included for comparative purposes and is not indicative of results of operations of the Company had the acquisitions occurred on the above respective dates, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. For Metro Medical and each of the Acquired Businesses, we have identified revenue from customers who cancelled their contracts prior to MTBC’s acquisition of such customers’ contracts. Such revenue is excluded from the pro forma information below, since MTBC did not pay for these customers and will not generate revenues from those customers. The 2014 pro forma net (loss) was adjusted to exclude $29,000 and $134,000, respectively, of acquisition related costs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The 2013 pro forma net (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 31, 2013, was adjusted to include these charges.

5.Concentrations

 

Financial Risks — As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held Pakistani rupees of 83,616,623 (approximately USD $815,772) and Pakistani rupees of 46,232,463 (approximately USD $440,309), respectively, in the name of its subsidiary at a bank in Pakistan. Funds are wired to Pakistan near the end of each month to cover payroll at the beginning of the next month and operating expenses throughout the month. The banking system in Pakistan does not provide deposit insurance coverage. Additionally, from time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions in the United States of America in excess of federal insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are managed by periodic credit evaluations of customers. The Company does not require collateral for outstanding trade accounts receivable. No one customer accounts for a significant portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable portfolio and write-offs have been minimal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no customers with sales of 3% or more of the total.

 

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

 

Carrying amounts of net assets located in Pakistan were $888,359 and $114,997 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These balances exclude intercompany receivables of $2,325,164 and $2,552,280 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The following is a summary of the net assets located in Pakistan as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Current assets  $1,100,594   $529,260

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, 171,000 and 388,500 restricted share units (“RSUs”) respectively, were granted and have been excluded from the above calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

 

7.Debt

 

Revolving Line of Credit — The Company has an agreement with TD Bank for a revolving line of credit maturing on November 30, 2015 for up to $1,215,000. The line of credit has a variable rate of interest per annum at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1% (4.25% as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013). The line of credit is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets and is guaranteed by the CEO of the Company. The outstanding balance as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1,200,000 and $1,015,000, respectively.

 

Santander Bank (formerly Sovereign Bank) Loan Agreement — The Company had a term loan, originally established to provide the Company revolving advances up to $100,000, with an interest rate of 7.74% per annum. The term loan was repaid during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The amount outstanding under this term loan was $11,667 as of December 31, 2013.

 

Convertible Note — On September 23, 2013, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $500,000 to an accredited investor, AAMD LLC, with a maturity date of March 23, 2016, and bearing interest at the rate of 7.0% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal and interest outstanding thereunder automatically converted into 117,567 shares of common stock upon the closing of the IPO at a conversion price equal to 90% of the per-share issuance price of the common stock in the IPO. This conversion resulted in additional common stock and paid in capital amounts of $118 and $587,717, respectively, at the conversion date. Interest and other expense of $51,809 and $77,263 were recorded in connection with this convertible note for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and are included in interest expense and other income (expense)-net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the convertible note payable was $472,429, including $11,767 of accrued interest.

 

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

 

12
 

 

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

11.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

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

 

During September 2014, the Company awarded 171,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in the aggregate under the 2014 Plan to its four independent directors, two named officers and six employees. During April 2014, the Company awarded 217,500 RSUs in the aggregate under the 2014 Plan to two named executive officers and three of its independent directors. One third of these RSUs will vest annually over three years as long as the employee or executive continues to be employed by the Company on the applicable vesting date or the director remains a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the Company recognized stock-based compensation cost beginning in April 2014. The Company’s policy election for these graded-vesting RSUs is to recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award.

 

Effective September 15, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized an additional 125,000 RSUs in the aggregate that will vest ratably beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014 through the third quarter of 2015 based on whether certain performance measures are attained in each of those quarters. Shares that do not vest in any quarter because the performance measures were not attained are forfeited. No expense was recorded in the third quarter of 2014 related to these performance based RSUs.

 

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

 

The market price of our common stock on the date of grant for the RSUs awarded in September 2014 was $3.83 and was used in recording the fair value of the award. We engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist us in valuing the RSUs granted in April 2014, who determined the fair value of the RSUs was $3.60 per share at the time of grant. The aggregate compensation cost for RSUs recorded under the stock-based compensation plans was $75,396 and $137,550 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2014   2013   2014   2013 
Stock-based compensation charged to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:                    
Direct operating costs  $754   $-   $754   $- 
General and administrative   74,642    -    136,796    - 
Total stock-based compensation expense  $75,396   $-   $137,550   $- 

 

12.INCOME TAXES

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30 2013, the Company estimated its effective income tax rate based upon the annual projected pre-tax loss. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all federal deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2014. This resulted in a federal tax provision of $474,091 and $157,435 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

 

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

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2014   2013   2014   2013 
Foreign exchange gains (losses)  $112,764   $131,652   $(74,006)  $218,297 
Other   (36,493)   3,263    (34,656)   17,560 
Other income (expense) - net  $76,271   $134,915   $(108,662)  $235,857 

 

Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) result from transactions related to the intercompany receivable for which transaction adjustments are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as they are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. An increase in the exchange rate of Pakistan rupees per U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2014 of approximately 3% and a decline in the exchange rate by approximately 3% from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014 caused a foreign exchange gain of $112,764 and a foreign exchange loss of $74,006 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. An increase in the exchange rate of Pakistan rupees per U.S. dollar by 9% from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013, caused a foreign exchange gain of $131,652 and $218,297 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

14.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values because of the short term nature of these financial instruments.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis by fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   Carrying Value at   Fair Value as of September 30, 2014, using, 
   September 30, 2014   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Financial Assets                         
Cash  $2,493,652   $2,493,652   $-   $-   $2,493,652

Note Payable-Related Party - The CEO advanced a loan of $1,000,000 to the Company, of which $470,089 and $735,680 was outstanding as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The loan bears an annual interest rate of 7.0%. The total principal and cumulative interest are due upon maturity of the loan on July 5, 2015. The fair value of related party transactions, including note payable to the CEO, cannot be determined based upon the related party nature of the transaction.

 

Borrowings under Revolving Line of Credit – The Company’s outstanding borrowings under the line of credit with TD Bank had a carrying value of $1,200,000 and $1,015,000 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding borrowings under the line of credit with TD Bank approximated the carrying value at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, as these borrowings bear interest based on prevailing variable market rates currently available. As a result, the Company categorizes these borrowings as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Notes Payable-Other – Notes payable-other consists of fixed rate term loans from TD Bank, Santander Bank, Bank Direct Capital Finance, auto loans and promissory notes from prior acquisitions.

 

The fixed interest-bearing term loans had an aggregate carrying value of $254,104 (Bank Direct Capital Finance) and $11,667 (Santander Bank) as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Collectively, the fair value of these term loans was approximately $257,788 (Bank Direct Capital Finance) and $11,801 (Santander Bank) at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the term loans was determined based on internally-developed valuations that use current interest rates in developing a present value of these term loans. The outstanding fixed interest bearing auto loans had a carrying value of $37,585 and $13,279 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of these auto loans was approximately $36,917 and $12,485 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the auto loans was determined based on internally-developed valuations that use current interest rates in developing a present value of these notes payable.

 

The Company issued fixed interest-bearing notes payable to the former owners of UPMS, GNet, MM, Metro Medical and Sonix Medical Technologies, Inc. The aggregate carrying value of these notes payable was $576,651 and $1,316,746 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Collectively, the fair value of these notes payable was approximately $578,795 and $1,325,022 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the notes payable to the former owners of businesses acquired was determined based on internally-developed valuations that use current interest rates in developing a present value of these notes payable.

 

Convertible Note – The Company issued a fixed interest bearing convertible promissory note to an accredited investor on September 23, 2013. The carrying value of the convertible promissory note was $472,429 at December 31, 2013. The fair value of the convertible promissory note was approximately $473,042 at December, 31, 2013, and is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value was determined based on internally-developed valuations that use current interest rates in developing a present value of the convertible note.

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

The automatic conversion feature for the convertible promissory note was measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of the automatic conversion feature had been estimated at $38,142 at December 31, 2013, with the decrease in value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as other expense. The fair value of the automatic conversion feature of the promissory note was measured using Level 3 inputs based on internally-developed valuations that use current interest rates and assumptions about the timing of the Company’s IPO. At the date of the IPO, this promissory note was converted into 117,567 shares of the Company's common stock.

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

 

Overview

 

MTBC is a healthcare information technology company that provides a fully integrated suite of proprietary web-based solutions, together with related business services, to healthcare providers practicing in ambulatory settings. Our integrated Software-as-a-Service (or SaaS) platform is designed to help our customers increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. We employ a highly educated workforce of more than 1,600 people in Pakistan, where we believe labor costs are approximately one-half the cost of comparable India-based employees, thus enabling us to deliver our solutions at competitive prices.

 

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

 

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

 

19
 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Our Pakistan operations accounted for approximately 48% of total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 34% of expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. A significant portion of those expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our Pakistan operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry participants. All of the medical billing companies that we acquired, including Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC, Practicare Medical Management, Inc. and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. (the “Acquired Businesses”) use domestic labor or labor from higher cost locations to provide all or a substantial portion of their services. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions as we shift these domestic labor costs to Pakistan.

 

Key Performance Measures

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
·Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

 

20
 

 

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

 

Set forth below is a presentation of our “Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” which represents Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue: for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013:

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

·Adjusted Net Income does not reflect foreign currency gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, and asset impairment charges and other non-cash non-operating expenditures;
·Adjusted Net Income does not reflect the value of stock-based compensation expense;
·Adjusted Net Income does not reflect the amortization of purchased intangible assets;
·Adjusted Net Income does not reflect nonrecurring transaction or acquisition-related costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, and certain acquisition accounting impacts.

The following table shows our reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013:

 

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

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2014   2013   2014   2013 
GAAP net loss per share  $(0.30)  $(0.03)  $(0.36)  $(0.05)
                     
Other (income) expense- net   (0.01)   (0.03)   0.01    (0.05)
Stock-based compensation expense   0.01    -    0.01    -

End of period shares-diluted   10,999,133    5,101,770    10,999,133    5,101,770 

 

For purposes of determining non-GAAP adjusted net income per share, the Company used the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period September 30, 2014 in order to provide comparability between periods in 2014. No tax effect has been provided in computing non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share as the Company has sufficient carryforward losses to offset the applicable income taxes.

 

Key Metrics

 

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

 

Set forth below are our key operating and financial metrics for customers using our platform, which excludes acquired customers who have not migrated to our platform. Practices using our platform accounted for approximately 90% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 and approximately 61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to three acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

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

 

22
 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Providers and Practices Served. As of September 30, 2014, we served over 2,000 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 1,000 practices.

 

Sources of Revenue

 

Revenue: We derive our revenues primarily as a percentage of payments collected by our customers that use our comprehensive product suite, which includes revenue cycle management as well as the ability to use our electronic health records and practice management software as part of the bundled fee. These payments accounted for approximately 91% and 89% of our revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and approximately 93% and 92% of our revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. This includes customers utilizing our proprietary product suite, PracticePro, as well as customers from acquisitions which we are servicing utilizing third-party software. Key drivers of our revenue include growth in the number of providers we are servicing, the number of patients served by those providers, and collections by those providers. We also generate revenues from one-time setup fees we charge for implementing PracticePro; the sale of our stand-alone web-based EHR solution, ChartsPro; and from transcription, coding, indexing and other ancillary services. Our plan is to move customers acquired through acquisitions to our operating platform in order to increase efficiencies. During the third quarter of 2014, we have already moved several of the acquired practices to our operating platform.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating cost consists primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our customers, claims processing costs, and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our Pakistan operations accounted for approximately 56% and 40% of direct operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. As we grow, we expect to achieve further economies of scale and to see our direct operating costs decrease as a percentage of revenue.

 

23
 

 

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

 

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

 

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, occupancy and insurance, software license fees and outside professional fees. We expect that general and administrative expense will increase in absolute terms for the foreseeable future as we incur additional expense inherent in becoming a publicly-traded company, including increased legal fees, accounting fees, and investor relations costs. Our Pakistan office accounted for approximately 43% and 31% of general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Though expenses are expected to continue to rise in absolute terms, we expect general and administrative expense to decline as a percentage of overall revenues as revenues increase.

 

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

 

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

 

Our acquisition of Metro Medical during 2013 added $1,156,000 of intangibles to our balance sheet, and our acquisitions of Omni, Practicare and CastleRock during 2014 added $10,062,408 of intangibles, resulting in amortization which was $1,124,066 higher for the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013.

 

Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our working capital line of credit, term loans and notes issued in connection with acquisitions, offset by interest income on investments. Our other income (expense) results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains (losses), and amounted to $235,857 of other income and $108,662 of other expense in the first nine months of 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

Income Tax. In preparing our financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

Salary expense in Pakistan increased by $205,000 or 74% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and by $266,000 or 33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of the addition of 83 administrative employees in Pakistan. Facilities costs increased by $183,000 or 95% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and by $198,000 or 38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to the facilities of the Acquired Businesses.

Depreciation. Depreciation of $66,000 and $173,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, increased by $9,000 or 16% and decreased by $6,000 or 3% from depreciation of $57,000 and $179,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

This increase resulted from our intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Metro Medical on June 30, 2013 and our acquisitions of Omni, Practicare and CastleRock on July 28, 2014, which are primarily being amortized over three years. The Acquired Businesses included $148,000 of acquired backlog, an intangible asset resulting from the treatment of revenue and expenses from July 28 through July 31, 2014, which was amortized in full by September 30, 2014, because virtually all the cash was received or disbursed over the 60 days from the date of the acquisition.

 

   Three Months Ended           Nine Months Ended

Interest Income. Interest income of $8,000 and $15,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, increased by $2,000 or 41% and decreased by $4,000 or 22% from interest income of $6,000 and $19,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, due to lower late payment fees from customers.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense of $47,000 and $151,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, increased by $3,000 or 7% and $47,000 or 45% from interest expense of $43,000 and $104,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. This increase was primarily due to interest on borrowings under our line of credit as well as the note payable from the purchase of Metro Medical on June 30, 2013.

 

Other Income (Expense) - net. Other income - net of $76,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $59,000 or 43% from other income - net of $135,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Other expense - net was $109,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to other income - net of $236,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. An increase in the exchange rate of Pakistan rupees per U.S. dollar by 9% from July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 was followed by a decline of 8% from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014 and a 5% increase from April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014. This caused an exchange loss of $203,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 followed by an exchange gain of $16,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and an additional $113,000 exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in an exchange loss of $74,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This compared to an exchange gain of $132,000 and $218,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Income Tax Provision. There was a $474,000 and $157,000 provision for income taxes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $18,000 and $34,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The pre-tax loss increased from $120,000 and $234,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $2.8 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2014   2013 
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities  $(2,024,504)  $617,301 
Net cash used in investing activities   (12,107,857)   (525,704)
Net cash provided by financing activities   16,128,304    804,957 
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash   (235)   (236,814)
Net increase in cash   1,995,708    659,740 

 

We completed our initial public offering in July 2014, which provided us with approximately $4.3 million in additional cash after giving effect to the underwriter’s discount, offering and acquisition expenses, and cash used to fund the purchase of the Acquired Businesses. In addition, we increased capital expenditures to $571,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 to increase the capacity of our facilities in Pakistan and increased expenses in Pakistan by $430,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as we grew our team in Pakistan by 561 employees, with the goal of reducing domestic expenses and spending on subcontractors from the Acquired Businesses during future periods.

 

We believe the cash provided by the IPO plus our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures requirements for at least the next 12 months, since we are proceeding to significantly reduce costs from the Acquired Businesses as planned, which will provide positive cash from operating activities beginning with the first quarter of 2015.

 

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

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities was $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $617,000 cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The net loss increased by $3.7 million, of which $1.1 million was additional depreciation and amortization, $123,000 was additional provision for taxes and $138,000 was stock-based compensation. Cash operating expenses grew $2.3 million faster than revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Most of the incremental expense occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, and primarily consisted of $483,000 of one-time bonuses paid to employees with at least a year of service at the time of the IPO, transaction costs of $712,000, $420,000 of incremental expenses due to the growth of the team in Pakistan which will offset costs in the United States in future periods, and $433,000 of additional costs of being a public company, including audit fees, compensation for outside directors and increased premiums for liability insurance.

 

Accounts receivable increased by $2.0 million, compared with an increase in accounts receivable of $71,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses grew by $1.9 million, compared with an increase of $277,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Both of these increases result from the Acquired Businesses, since these were asset purchases, and accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities were not acquired. Other current assets and prepaid expenses grew by $654,000, compared with an increase of $82,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the purchase of certain insurance with a one-year term.

 

Investing Activities

 

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

 

28
 

 

After completion of each previous acquisition, we have generally restructured operations of the acquired company, reducing costs by shifting labor costs from the U.S. to Pakistan. This has allowed us to minimize the cash used in investing activities and provides us with financing largely serviced by cash flow from the businesses acquired. We decided to proceed more slowly with the three Acquired Businesses in order to minimize disruption to clients and improve customer retention, but have begun the process. This will result in lower operating expenses in future quarters.

 

We anticipate that there will be additional opportunities to acquire similar businesses in the future, and management will evaluate each opportunity for future profitability and cash flow potential. Future acquisitions may be financed by a combination of equity, debt, promissory notes issued to the sellers and/or cash on hand. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve the same level of cost savings in the future or do so as quickly as we have in the past.

 

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $12.1 million, an increase of $11.6 million compared to $526,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We spent $11.4 million as the cash portion of the purchase prices of the Acquired Businesses, compared to $275,000 for the initial cash portion of the purchase of Metro Medical during the nine months ended in September 30, 2013. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $571,000, an increase of $405,000 compared to $166,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily to increase the capacity of our Pakistan facilities.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $16.1 million, compared to $805,000 of in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we completed our IPO, generating net cash of $4.3 million after paying offering expenses, acquisition expenses and paying the cash portion of the purchase price for the Acquired Businesses. We repaid $958,000 of notes payable from acquisitions made in prior years as well as $266,000 borrowed from our CEO. Average monthly borrowings from our $1.2 million revolving line of credit with TD Bank were $1.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $238,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Our line of credit renews annually at the option of the lender, and currently matures on November 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2014, $1.2 million was drawn on the line.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

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

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

 

Foreign currency exchange risk. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the Pakistan rupee. None of our consolidated revenues are earned outside the United States. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 35% and 48%, respectively, of our total expenses occurred in our subsidiary in Pakistan and were incurred in Pakistan rupees. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could harm our business in the future. Because a significant portion of our expenses is incurred outside the United States but our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, a 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have a 4% adverse impact on our costs, which would cause our margins to differ materially from expectations.

 

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

 

Liquidity risk. As of December 31, 2013, we held approximately $440,000 of cash in a bank in Pakistan and we held approximately $816,000 of cash in this bank on September 30, 2014. The banking system in Pakistan does not provide deposit insurance coverage. We generally wire funds to Pakistan from the U.S. near the end of each month to be used for payroll and other operating expenses in the following month, with the payroll payments being made by our Pakistani subsidiary in the first week of such month. The balance as of September 30, 2014 was unusually large due to the capital expenditures related to our facility expansion in Pakistan.

 

We have a transfer pricing agreement with our Pakistani subsidiary, and our Pakistani subsidiary is required under applicable law to generate an arms-length profit. Accordingly, monthly payments due from us to our Pakistani subsidiary for the services it provides to us are in an amount sufficient for it to generate a profit. However, our actual payments to our Pakistani subsidiary for these services are in a lesser amount, which covers just the actual costs incurred by our subsidiary. The excess amount owed by us but not paid to our Pakistani subsidiary is treated as a dividend from the Pakistani subsidiary to us. Accordingly, we record a current tax liability on our financial statements to cover U.S. taxes on that dividend. We plan to repatriate all earnings and profits generated by our Pakistani subsidiary. Therefore, we recognize a deferred tax liability on the cumulative balance of earnings and profits, as reduced by the amount treated as a dividend, at the federal tax rate. As of September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its net federal deferred tax asset.

 

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

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

30
 

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

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

 

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

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

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

 

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

 

(a)Sale of Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On September 15, 2014, we granted 171,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) in the aggregate to members of our Board of Directors, two officers and six US employees. On April 4, 2014 we granted 217,500 RSUs in the aggregate to two named executive officers and members of our Board of Directors under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, the Company granted 125,000 performance-based RSUs in the aggregate to certain key personnel in order to incent those personnel to attain certain profitability goals for their respective divisions.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

On July 28, 2014, upon receipt of funds from our IPO, we purchased the assets of three independent revenue cycle management companies, Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC, Practicare Medical Management, Inc., and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. for approximately $11.4 million in cash and 1.7 million shares of common stock, on terms disclosed in the Company's final prospectus.

 

32
 

 

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on July 23, 2014 pursuant to Rule 424(b). Other than repayments of indebtedness in the amount of $266,000 to Mahmud Haq, our principal stockholder and Chief Executive Officer, payment of a cash bonus of $95,000 to Stephen Snyder, our President, $60,000 to Brendan Harney, our General Counsel, and $8,750 to Christine Salimbene, our Chief Compliance Officer, no direct or indirect payments were made by us to any of our directors or officers or their associates, to persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries. We have invested the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
