NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.         Description of Business

 

Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “ApolloMed”) and its affiliated physician groups are a patient-centered, physician-centric integrated healthcare delivery company working to provide coordinated, outcomes-based medical care in a cost-effective manner. ApolloMed has built a company and culture that is focused on physicians providing high quality care, population management and care coordination for patients, particularly for senior patients and patients with multiple chronic conditions.

 

ApolloMed serves Medicare, Medicaid and health maintenance organization (“HMO”) patients, and uninsured patients, in California. The Company primarily provides services to patients who are covered predominately by private or public insurance, although the Company derives a small portion of its revenue from non-insured patients. The Company provides care coordination services to each major constituent of the healthcare delivery system, including patients, families, primary care physicians, specialists, acute care hospitals, alternative sites of inpatient care, physician groups and health plans.

 

ApolloMed’s physician network consists of hospitalists, primary care physicians and specialist physicians primarily through ApolloMed’s owned and affiliated physician groups. ApolloMed operates through the following subsidiaries: Apollo Medical Management, Inc. (“AMM”), Pulmonary Critical Care Management, Inc. (“PCCM”), Verdugo Medical Management, Inc. (“VMM”), ApolloMed Accountable Care Organization, Inc. (“ApolloMed ACO”), and Apollo Care Connect (ApolloCare). Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMM, ApolloMed manages affiliated medical groups, which consist of ApolloMed Hospitalists (“AMH”), a hospitalist company, ApolloMed Care Clinic (“ACC”), Maverick Medical Group, Inc. (“MMG”), AKM Medical Group, Inc. (“AKM”), Southern California Heart Centers (“SCHC”) and Bay Area Hospitalist Associates, A Medical Corporation (“BAHA”). Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PCCM, ApolloMed manages Los Angeles Lung Center (“LALC”), and through its wholly-owned subsidiary VMM, ApolloMed manages Eli Hendel, M.D., Inc. (“Hendel”). ApolloMed also has a controlling interest in ApolloMed Palliative Services, LLC (“APS”), which owns two Los Angeles-based companies, Best Choice Hospice Care LLC (“BCHC”) and Holistic Health Home Health Care Inc. (“HCHHA”).

 

AMM, PCCM and VMM each operate as a physician practice management company and are in the business of providing management services to physician practice corporations under long-term management service agreements, pursuant to which AMM, PCCM or VMM, as applicable, manages all non-medical services for the affiliated medical group and has exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to ongoing business operations.

 

ApolloMed ACO participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), the goal of which is to improve the quality of patient care and outcomes through more efficient and coordinated approach among providers. Revenues earned by ApolloMed ACO are uncertain, and, if such amounts are payable by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), they will be paid on an annual basis significantly after the time earned, and are contingent on various factors, including achievement of the minimum savings rate as determined by MSSP for the relevant period. Such payments are earned and made on an “all or nothing” basis. CMS has determined that ApolloMed ACO did not meet the minimum savings threshold and therefore did not receive any incentive payment in fiscal year 2016 for calendar 2015.

 

In January 2016, the Company formed ApolloCare Connect which acquired certain technology and other assets of Healarium, Inc., which provides the Company with a cloud and mobile-based population health management platform that includes digital care plans, a case management module, connectivity with multiple healthcare tracking devices and the ability to integrate with multiple electronic health records to capture clinical data.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $2.4 million and used approximately $4.4 million in cash from operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2016, and, as of September 30, 2016 has an accumulated deficit and a total stockholders’ deficit of approximately $31.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

 

The primary source of liquidity as of September 30, 2016 is cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.8 million.

 

The Company is currently exploring sources of additional funding. Without limiting its available options, future equity financings will most likely be through the sale of additional shares of its securities. It is possible that the Company could also offer warrants, options and/or rights in conjunction with any future issuances of its common stock. The Company’s sources of revenues are insufficient to cover its operating costs, and as such, has incurred an operating loss since its inception. Thus, until the Company can generate sufficient cash flows to fund operations, the Company is dependent on raising additional capital through debt and/or equity transactions. In addition, the Company may have to reduce certain overhead costs through the deferral of salaries and other means, and settle liabilities through negotiation. Currently, the Company does not have any commitments or assurances for additional capital, nor can the Company provide assurance that such financing will be available and on favorable terms, or at all. If, after utilizing the existing sources of capital available to the Company, further capital needs are identified and the Company is not successful in obtaining the financing, it may be forced to curtail its existing or planned future operations.

 

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attain a satisfactory level of profitability and obtain suitable and adequate financing. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

2.        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2016, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the six months then ended, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC on June 29, 2016. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2017.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. and all its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries as well as all variable interest entities where it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists of contracted, fee-for-service, and capitation revenue. Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are rendered. Revenue is principally derived from the provision of healthcare staffing services to patients within healthcare facilities. The form of billing and related risk of collection for such services may vary by customer. The following is a summary of the principal forms of the Company’s billing arrangements and how net revenue is recognized for each.

 

Contracted revenue

 

Contracted revenue represents revenue generated under contracts for which the Company provides physician and other healthcare staffing and administrative services in return for a contractually negotiated fee. Contract revenue consists primarily of billings based on hours of healthcare staffing provided at agreed-to hourly rates. Revenue in such cases is recognized as the hours are worked by the Company’s staff and contractors. Additionally, contract revenue also includes supplemental revenue from hospitals where the Company may have a fee-for-service contract arrangement or provide physician advisory services to the medical staff at a specific facility. Contract revenue for the supplemental billing in such cases is recognized based on the terms of each individual contract. Such contract terms generally either provides for a fixed monthly dollar amount or a variable amount based upon measurable monthly activity, such as hours staffed, patient visits or collections per visit compared to a minimum activity threshold. Such supplemental revenues based on variable arrangements are usually contractually fixed on a monthly, quarterly or annual calculation basis considering the variable factors negotiated in each such arrangement. Such supplemental revenues are recognized as revenue in the period when such amounts are determined to be fixed and therefore contractually obligated as payable by the customer under the terms of the respective agreement. Additionally, the Company derives a portion of the Company’s revenue as a contractual bonus from collections received by the Company’s partners and such revenue is contingent upon the collection of third-party billings. These revenues are not considered earned and therefore not recognized as revenue until actual cash collections are achieved in accordance with the contractual arrangements for such services. 

 

Fee-for-service revenue

 

Fee-for-service revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which the Company bills and collects the professional component of charges for medical services rendered by the Company’s contracted physicians. Under the fee-for-service arrangements, the Company bills patients for services provided and receives payment from patients or their third-party payors. Fee-for-service revenue is reported net of contractual allowances and policy discounts. All services provided are expected to result in cash flows and are therefore reflected as net revenue in the consolidated financial statements. Fee-for-service revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered to specific patients and reduced immediately for the estimated impact of contractual allowances in the case of those patients having third-party payor coverage. The recognition of net revenue (gross charges less contractual allowances) from such visits is dependent on such factors as proper completion of medical charts following a patient visit, the forwarding of such charts to the Company’s billing center for medical coding and entering into the Company’s billing system and the verification of each patient’s submission or representation at the time services are rendered as to the payor(s) responsible for payment of such services. Revenue is recorded based on the information known at the time of entering of such information into the Company’s billing systems as well as an estimate of the revenue associated with medical services.

 

  

Capitation revenue

 

Capitation revenue (net of capitation withheld to fund risk share deficits) is recognized in the month in which the Company is obligated to provide services. Minor ongoing adjustments to prior months’ capitation, primarily arising from contracted health maintenance organizations (each, an “HMO”) finalizing of monthly patient eligibility data for additions or subtractions of enrollees, are recognized in the month they are communicated to the Company. Managed care revenues of the Company consist primarily of capitated fees for medical services provided by the Company under a provider service agreement (“PSA”) or capitated arrangements directly made with various managed care providers including HMO’s and management service organizations (“MSOs”). Capitation revenue under the PSA and HMO contracts is prepaid monthly to the Company based on the number of enrollees electing the Company as their healthcare provider. Additionally, Medicare pays capitation using a “Risk Adjustment model,” which compensates managed care organizations and providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual enrollee. Health plans and providers with higher acuity enrollees will receive more and those with lower acuity enrollees will receive less. Under Risk Adjustment, capitation is determined based on health severity, measured using patient encounter data. Capitation is paid on an interim basis based on data submitted for the enrollee for the preceding year and is adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled. Positive or negative capitation adjustments are made for Medicare enrollees with conditions requiring more or less healthcare services than assumed in the interim payments. Since the Company cannot reliably predict these adjustments, periodic changes in capitation amounts earned as a result of Risk Adjustment are recognized when those changes are communicated by the health plans to the Company.

  

HMO contracts also include provisions to share in the risk for enrollee hospitalization, whereby the Company can earn additional incentive revenue or incur penalties based upon the utilization of hospital services. Typically, any shared risk deficits are not payable until and unless the Company generates future risk sharing surpluses, or if the HMO withholds a portion of the capitation revenue to fund any risk share deficits. At the termination of the HMO contract, any accumulated risk share deficit is typically extinguished. Due to the lack of access to information necessary to estimate the related costs, shared-risk amounts receivable from the HMOs are only recorded when such amounts are known. Risk pools for the prior contract years are generally final settled in the third or fourth quarter of the following fiscal year.

 

In addition to risk-sharing revenues, the Company also receives incentives under “pay-for-performance” programs for quality medical care, based on various criteria. These incentives are generally recorded in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year and recorded when such amounts are known.

 

Under full risk capitation contracts, an affiliated hospital enters into agreements with several HMOs, pursuant to which, the affiliated hospital provides hospital, medical, and other healthcare services to enrollees under a fixed capitation arrangement (“Capitation Arrangement”). Under the risk pool sharing agreement, the affiliated hospital and medical group agree to establish a Hospital Control Program to serve the enrollees, pursuant to which, the medical group is allocated a percentage of the profit or loss, after deductions for costs to affiliated hospitals. The Company participates in full risk programs under the terms of the PSA, with health plans whereby the Company is wholly liable for the deficits allocated to the medical group under the arrangement. The related liability is included in medical liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 (see "Medical Liabilities" in this Note 2, below).

  

Medicare Shared Savings Program Revenue

 

The Company, through its subsidiary ApolloMed ACO, participates in the MSSP, which is sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”). The goal of the MSSP is to improve the quality of patient care and outcomes through more efficient and coordinated approach among providers. The MSSP allows ACO participants to share in cost savings it generates in connection with rendering medical services to Medicare patients. Payments to ACO participants, if any, will be calculated annually by CMS on cost savings generated by the ACO participant relative to the ACO participants’ cost savings benchmark. The MSSP is a relatively new program managed by CMS that has an evolving payment methodology. Revenues earned by ApolloMed ACO are uncertain, and, if such amounts are payable by the CMS, they will be paid on an annual basis significantly after the time earned, and will be contingent on various factors, including achievement of the minimum savings rate as determined by MSSP for the relevant period. Such payments are earned and made on an “all or nothing” basis. The Company considers revenue, if any, under the MSSP, as contingent upon the realization of program savings as determined by CMS, and are not considered earned and therefore are not recognized as revenue until notice from CMS that cash payments are to be imminently received.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  

 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from third-party payors, including government sponsored Medicare and Medicaid programs, insurance companies, and amounts due from hospitals and patients. Accounts receivable are recorded and stated at the amount expected to be collected.

 

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. The Company reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. The Company also regularly analyzes the ultimate collectability of accounts receivable after certain stages of the collection cycle using a look-back analysis to determine the amount of receivables subsequently collected and adjustments are recorded when necessary. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.

 

Concentrations

 

The Company had major payors that contributed the following percentage of net revenue:

 

		Three Months Ended September 30,								Six Months Ended September 30,
		2016				2015				2016				2015
Governmental - Medicare/Medi-Cal			21.9	%			32.7	%			22.6	%			33.8	%
L.A Care			*	%			16.0	%			11.9	%			14.6	%
Allied Physicians			*	%			*	%			11.3	%			*	%
Health Net			*	%			11.3	%			*	%			12.4	%

* Represents less than 10%

 

Receivables from major payors amounted to the following percentage of total accounts receivable:

 

		September 30, 2016				March 31, 2016
Governmental - Medicare/Medi-Cal			29.0	%			39.3	%
Allied Physicians			*	%			15.8	%

 

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts; however, amounts in excess of the federally insured limit may be at risk if the bank experiences financial difficulties. Approximately $3.4 million and $8.8 million was in excess of the FDIC limits as of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 respectively.

 

The Company’s business and operations are concentrated in one state, California. Any material changes by California with respect to strategy, taxation and economics of healthcare delivery, reimbursements, financial requirements or other aspects of regulation of the healthcare industry could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and cost of doing business.

 

Medical Liabilities

 

The Company is responsible for integrated care that the associated physicians and contracted hospitals provide to its enrollees under risk-pool arrangements. The Company provides integrated care to health plan enrollees through a network of contracted providers under sub-capitation and direct patient service arrangements, company-operated clinics and staff physicians. Medical costs for professional and institutional services rendered by contracted providers are recorded as cost of services in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Costs for operating medical clinics, including the salaries of medical personnel, are also recorded in cost of services, while non-medical personnel and support costs are included in general and administrative expense.

 

An estimate of amounts due to contracted physicians, hospitals, and other professional providers is included in medical liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Medical liabilities include claims reported as of the balance sheet date and estimates of incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”). Such estimates are developed using actuarial methods and are based on many variables, including the utilization of health care services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, product mix, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors. The estimation methods and the resulting reserves are periodically reviewed and updated. Many of the medical contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of various services. Such differing interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed following the contract implementation. The Company has a $20,000 per member professional stop-loss and $200,000 per member stop-loss for Medi-Cal patients in institutional risk pools. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in current operations.

 

  

The Company’s medical liabilities were as follows:

 

		Six Months Ended September 30, 2016				Year Ended March 31, 2016
Balance, beginning of period		$	2,670,709			$	1,260,549

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company maintains a stock-based compensation program for employees, non-employees, directors and consultants, which is more fully described in Note 6. The value of stock-based awards so measured is recognized as compensation expense on a cumulative straight-line basis over the vesting terms of the awards, adjusted for expected forfeitures. The Company sells certain of its restricted common stock to its employees, directors and consultants with a right (but not obligation) of repurchase feature that lapses based on performance of services in the future.

 

The Company accounts for share-based awards granted to persons other than employees and directors under ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. As such the fair value of such shares is periodically re-measured using an appropriate valuation model and income or expense is recognized over the vesting period.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

 

Level one - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level two - Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

Level three - Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

 

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. 

 

The carrying amount reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount for borrowings under the lines of credit approximate fair value which is determined by using interest rates that are available for similar debt obligations with similar terms at the balance sheet date.

 

Warrant liability

 

In October 2015, the Company issued a warrant in connection with the Network Medical Management (“NMM”) Series A convertible preferred stock and stock purchase warrant financing that required liability classification. The fair value of the warrant liability of approximately $1.5 million at September 30, 2016 issued to NMM in October 2015 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model which used the following inputs: term of 4.04 years, risk free rate of 0.99%, no dividends, volatility of 61.7%, share price of $4.50 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock adjusted for a marketability discount. The fair value of the warrant liability of approximately $2.8 million at March 31, 2016 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, using the following inputs: term of 4.5 years, risk free rate of 1.13%, no dividends, volatility of 65.7%, share price of $5.93 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock adjusted for marketability discount, and a 0% probability of redemption of the warrant shares issued along with the shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock issued to NMM in October 2015.

  

 

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments are presented below as of:

The gain on change in fair value of the warrant liability of $511,111 and $1,333,333 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 and gain (loss) on change in fair value of the warrant liability and conversion feature liability of $96,852 and $(116,866) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015, are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value during the six months ended September 30, 2015 relates to a warrant liability and embedded conversion feature resulting from a 2014 financing transaction with NNA of Nevada, Inc. (“NNA”) which was settled in October 2015.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, following a review of the terms of certain derivative instruments entered into with NNA on March 28, 2014, management determined that a warrant liability was incorrectly valued which resulted in certain amounts being incorrectly stated in prior periods. Based on an analysis of the resulting adjustments, management determined that the prior consolidated financial statements were not considered to be materially misstated. Accordingly, the Company recorded an out of period correction during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 which included an adjustment of $999,724 to properly record the valuation of its warrant liability.

 

  

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during a certain period, and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, using the as-if converted method for secured convertible notes, and the treasury stock method for options and warrants.

 

The following table sets forth the number of shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

 

		Three Months Ended September 30,								Six Months Ended  September 30,
		2016				2015				2016				2015
Options			487,500				-				527,500				-
Warrants			104,500				-				114,500				-
Convertible Notes			1,666,666				-				1,666,666				-
			2,258,666				-				2,308,666				-

 

New Accounting Pronouncements  

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). This new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). This ASU makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation, and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when effective and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

On August 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concerns (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We do not intend to early adopt and do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of financial instruments including the requirement to measure certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 will become effective for the Company beginning interim period April 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.

 

The FASB issued the following accounting standard updates related to Topic 606, Revenue Contracts with Customers:

 

•       ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”) in May 2014. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes identification of the contract, identification of the performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations.

 

 

 

•       ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ("ASU 2016-08") in March 2016. ASU 2016-08 does not change the core principle of revenue recognition in Topic 606 but clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations.

 

•       ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU 2016-10") in April 2016. ASU 2016-10 does not change the core principle of revenue recognition in Topic 606 but clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas.

 

•       ASU No. 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting (SEC Update) ("ASU 2016-11") in May 2016. ASU 2016-11 rescinds SEC paragraphs pursuant to two SEC Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF meeting. The SEC Staff is rescinding SEC Staff Observer comments that are codified in Topic 605 and Topic 932, effective upon adoption of Topic 606.

 

•       ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU 2016-12") in May 2016. ASU 2016-12 does not change the core principle of revenue recognition in Topic 606 but clarifies the measurement and presentation as well as to include some practical expedients and policy elections.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, Consolidation: Interests Held through Related Parties that are under Common Control ("ASU 2016-17"). ASU 2016-17 amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a VIE should treat indirect interest in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. ASU 2016-17 will become effective for the Company beginning interim period April 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. During the period ended September 30, 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted ASU 2016-17 and such adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The issues addressed in this ASU that will affect the Company are classifying debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

There were no additions to the intangible assets in the three and six months ended September 30, 2016. The amortization expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $95,000 and $190,000, $47,000 and $94,000 respectively. The following table summarizes the approximate expected future amortization expense as of September 30, 2016 for definite-lived intangible assets:

4.        Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

 

		September 30,				March 31,
		2016				2016
Accounts payable		$	1,021,641			$	2,036,615

Accrued professional fees			245,659				202,200
		$	4,544,711			$	4,572,307

 

5.         Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in FASB ASC 740. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.

 

On an interim basis, the Company estimates what its anticipated annual effective tax rate will be and records a quarterly income tax provision (benefit) in accordance with the estimated annual rate, plus the tax effect of certain discrete items that arise during the quarter. As the fiscal year progresses, the Company refines its estimates based on actual events and financial results during the quarter. This process can result in significant changes to the Company’s estimated effective tax rate. When this occurs, the income tax provision (benefit) is adjusted during the quarter in which the estimates are refined so that the year-to-date provision reflects the estimated annual effective tax rate. These changes, along with adjustments to the Company’s deferred taxes and related valuation allowance, may create fluctuations in the overall effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.

 

Due to overall cumulative losses incurred in recent years, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to operating losses that receive no tax benefit as a result of a valuation allowance recorded for such losses, prior year tax liability differences and the exclusion of loss entities from our overall estimated annual effective rate calculation under guidance from ASC 740-270-30-26a.

 

As of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. The Company will recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries’ state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended January 31, 2012 onwards. The Company does not anticipate material unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

 

 

6.        Stockholders’ Equity

 

Preferred Stock – Series A

 

On October 14, 2015, Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with NMM pursuant to which the Company sold to NMM, and NMM purchased from the Company, in a private offering of securities, 1,111,111 units, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) and a stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share. NMM paid the Company an aggregate $10,000,000 for the units, the proceeds of which were used by the Company primarily to repay certain outstanding indebtedness owed by the Company to NNA and the balance for working capital.

 

The Series A has a liquidation preference in the amount of $9.00 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends. The Preferred Stock can be voted for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A could then be converted, which initially is one-for-one. The Series A is convertible into Common Stock, at the option of NMM, at any time after issuance at an initial conversion rate of one-for-one, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and certain other similar transactions.

 

At any time prior to conversion and through the Redemption Expiration Date (as described below), the Series A may be redeemed at the option of NMM, on one occasion, in the event that the Company’s net revenues for the four quarters ending September 30, 2016, as reported in its periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are less than $60,000,000. In such event, the Company shall have up to one year from the date of the notice of redemption by NMM to redeem the Series A, the warrants and any shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of any warrants theretofore (collectively the “Redeemed Securities”), for the aggregate price paid therefor by NMM, together with interest at a rate of 10% per annum from the date of the notice of redemption until the closing of the redemption. Any mandatory conversion described previously shall not take place until such time as it is determined that that conditions for the redemption of the Redeemed Securities have not been satisfied or, if such conditions exist, NMM has decided not to have such securities redeemed. As the redemption feature is not solely within the control of the Company, the Series A does not qualify as permanent equity and has been classified as mezzanine or temporary equity.

 

The Company did not attain the $60,000,000 net revenues milestone noted above for the four quarters ended September 30, 2016. Accordingly, the Series A are currently subject to redemption for $10,000,000. However, as of the date of this filing, no such redemption notice has been received by the Company.

 

The common stock warrants may be exercised at any time after issuance and through October 14, 2020, for $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and stock splits. The warrants are not separately transferable from the Preferred Stock. The warrants are subject to redemption in the event the Preferred Stock is redeemed by NMM, as described above. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for such warrants as liabilities and has marked such liability to its fair value at each subsequent reporting period. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant liability to be $2,922,222 at inception which was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model (see Note 2) with the value of the Series A being the residual value of $7,077,778.

 

Common Stock Issuance

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock and received approximately $172,000 from the exercise of certain warrants at an exercise price of $1.1485 per share.

 

Equity Incentive Plans  

 

The Company’s amended 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) allowed the Board to grant up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and provided for awards including incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted common stock, and stock appreciation rights. As of September 30, 2016, there were no shares available for grant. 

 

On April 29, 2013 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), pursuant to which 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. The Company received approval of the 2013 Plan from the Company’s stockholders on May 19, 2013. The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises under the 2013 Plan. As of September 30, 2016 there were no shares available for future grants under the 2013 Plan.

 

On December 15, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), pursuant to which 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. In addition, shares that are subject to outstanding grants under the Company’s 2010 Plan and 2013 Plan but that ordinarily would have been restored to such plans reserve due to award forfeitures and terminations will roll into and become available for awards under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted common stock, and stock appreciation rights. The 2015 Plan was subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, which approval was obtained at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that was held on September 14, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, there were approximately 1,126,000 shares available for future grants under the 2015 Plan.

7.         Commitments and Contingencies

 

Regulatory Matters

 

As a risk-bearing organization, the Company is required to follow regulations of the California Department of Managed Health Care (“DMHC”). The Company must comply with a minimum working capital requirement, Tangible Net Equity (“TNE”) requirement, cash-to-claims ratio and claims payment requirements prescribed by the DMHC. TNE is defined as net assets less intangibles, less non-allowable assets (which include amounts due from affiliates), plus subordinated obligations. The DMHC determined that, as of February 28, 2016, MMG, was not in compliance with the DMHC’s positive TNE requirement for a Risk Bearing Organization (“RBO”). As a result, the DMHC required MMG to develop and implement a corrective action plan (“CAP”) for such deficiency. CAP has been submitted and is under review by DMHC.

 

Legal

 

On May 16, 2014, Lakeside Medical Group, Inc. and Regal Medical Group, Inc., two independent physician associations who compete with the Company in the greater Los Angeles area, filed an action against the Company and two affiliates of the Company, MMG and AMH, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The complaint alleged that the Company and its two affiliates made misrepresentations and engaged in other acts in order to improperly solicit physicians and patient-enrollees from Plaintiffs. The Complaint sought compensatory and punitive damages. On June 30, 2014, the Company and its affiliates filed a motion requesting the Court to stay the court proceeding and order the parties to arbitrate this dispute subject to existing arbitration agreements. On August 11, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the action. On August 12, 2014, the Plaintiffs served the Company and its affiliates with Demands for Arbitration before Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services (“JAMS”) in Los Angeles. The Company is currently examining the merits of the claims to be arbitrated, and it is too early to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the potential loss if the outcome should be negative. The Company is aware that punitive damages previously sought in the court proceeding are not available in arbitration. The Company and its affiliates are preparing a defense to the allegations and the Company intends to vigorously defend the action.

 

On August 28, 2014, Lakeside Medical Group, Inc. and Regal Medical Group, Inc., filed a similar lawsuit against Warren Hosseinion, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Hosseinion is defending the action and is currently being indemnified by the Company subject to the terms of an indemnification agreement and the Company’s charter. The Company has an existing Directors and Officers insurance policy. On September 9, 2014, Dr. Hosseinion filed a motion requesting the Court to stay the court proceeding and, pursuant to existing arbitration agreements, order the parties to arbitrate the dispute as part of the pending arbitration proceedings before JAMS (as discussed above). On October 29, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the action. On November 13, 2014, Plaintiffs served Dr. Hosseinion with Demands for Arbitration before JAMS in Los Angeles, and on November 19, 2014, the parties agreed to consolidate the two proceedings against Dr. Hosseinion with the two existing proceedings against the Company and its affiliates. The parties are currently pursuing mediation of the dispute. The Company continues to examine the merits of the claims to be arbitrated against Dr. Hosseinion, and it is too early to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the potential loss if the outcome should be negative. The Company is aware that punitive damages previously sought in the court proceeding against Dr. Hosseinion are not available in arbitration.

 

In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company becomes involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by the Company’s affiliated hospitalists. The Company may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve significant claims and/or significant defense costs. The Company believes, based upon the Company’s review of pending actions and proceedings, that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period. 

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2016, the parties resolved the matter in a written settlement agreement without an adjudication or admission of liability by any of the parties.

 

8.         Related Party Transactions

 

On January 12, 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Gary Augusta, the President of Flacane Advisors, Inc. (“Flacane”) and the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “2016 Augusta Consulting Agreement”), to replace a substantially similar agreement between the Company and Flacane that expired by its terms on December 31, 2015. Under the 2016 Augusta Consulting Agreement, the Augusta Consultant is paid $25,000 per month to provide business and strategic services to the Company; and Augusta Consultant is also eligible to receive options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, Mr. Augusta is subject to a Directors Agreement with the Company dated March 7, 2012. The Company owed the Augusta Consultant approximately $5,006 and $9,500, at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

 

 

As of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets include $0 and $104,500, respectively, for principal and accrued interest owed to a 9% note holder who is also a shareholder of the Company.

 

In September 2015, the Company was issued a promissory note by Rob Mikitarian, a minority owner in APS, in the principal amount of approximately $150,000. The note accrues interest at 3% per annum and is due on or before September 2017. At September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the outstanding balance of the note was approximately $150,000, and is included in other receivables in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

In September 2015, the Company was issued a promissory note by Dr. Liviu Chindris, a minority owner in APS, in the principal amount of approximately $105,000. The note accrues interest at 3% per annum and is due on or before September 2017.

9.         Subsequent Events

 

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us on November 10, 2016, BAHA Acquisition, a Medical Corporation, a California professional corporation (“Acquisition”), an affiliate of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) dated as of November 4, 2016 with BAHA and Scott Enderby, D.O. (“Enderby”), pursuant to which Enderby sold to Acquisition, and Acquisition purchased from Enderby, 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of BAHA (the “BAHA Stock”), of which Enderby was the sole holder beneficially and of record (the “Transaction”). Warren Hosseinion, M.D., our Chief Executive Officer, is the sole stockholder of Acquisition, as nominee for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Apollo Medical Management, Inc.

 

As provided for in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the BAHA Stock consists of (i) a payment of $25,000 (the “Initial Payment”) at the closing (the “Closing”) of the Transaction, which also took place on November 4, 2016 (the “Closing Date”); (ii) a contingent payment in the aggregate amount of $100,000 to be paid over a period of 18 months following the Closing (the “Contingent Payment”); and (iii) a warrant to purchase 24,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”) issued to Enderby. We have informally agreed with Enderby to defer the Initial Payment from the Closing until after the delivery of the closing statement calculating Actual Net Working Capital, as described in the following paragraph.

 

No later than 30 days following the Closing Date, Acquisition shall prepare and deliver to Enderby a written statement of the net working capital of BAHA as of the Closing Date. If the Actual Net Working Capital (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) as of the Closing Date is less than $300,000 (the “Target Amount”), then Enderby shall, within five business days of the date of final determination of the Actual Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, pay to Acquisition the amount equal to the absolute value of the difference between the Target Amount and the Actual Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, together with interest on the amount of such difference calculated at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum from the Closing Date to the date of payment.

 

The Contingent Payment of up to an aggregate $100,000 will be made to Enderby in connection with personal services to be performed by him pursuant to an employment agreement entered into in connection with the Closing of the Transaction (the “Enderby Employment Agreement”) as follows: (i) $25,000 on the six-month anniversary of the Closing, an additional $50,000 on the first-year anniversary of the Closing and a final $25,000 on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing, if as of each such date, BAHA’s revenue is greater than $6,000,000.

 

As further inducement for Acquisition to enter into the Stock Purchase Agreement, BAHA and Enderby entered into a non-competition agreement dated as of November 4, 2016, pursuant to which Enderby has agreed, without the written permission of BAHA, within a radius of 50 miles from BAHA’s offices in San Francisco and for a period of three years from the Closing Date, not to compete with BAHA; hire or induce another person to hire any BAHA employee or independent contractor; or solicit any business, customers, clients or contractors of BAHA.

 

As part of the Transaction, BAHA and Enderby entered into the Enderby Employment Agreement, pursuant to which Enderby has been hired to serve as Chief Executive Officer of BAHA. Enderby will serve in that capacity for an initial term of two years, automatically extended for additional one-year terms, unless not less than 60 days prior to each such renewal date, either party shall have given written notice to the other that the Enderby Employment Agreement will not be renewed. Enderby shall be paid a base salary of $400,000 per year and shall be entitled to participate in any incentive compensation plans and/or equity compensation plans as are now available or may become available to other similarly positioned employees.

 

The Enderby Employment Agreement shall be terminated upon Enderby’s death and may be terminated on Enderby’s Disability (as that term is defined in the Enderby Employment Agreement), by BAHA with or without Cause (as that term is defined in the Enderby Employment Agreement) or by Enderby with or without Good Reason (as that term is defined in the Enderby Employment Agreement).

 

If Enderby’s employment is terminated for any reason during the term of the Enderby Employment Agreement, or if the Enderby Employment Agreement is not renewed, Enderby shall be entitled to be paid any earned but unpaid base salary through the date of termination, unpaid expense reimbursements and accrued but unused paid time off. Additionally, in the event of termination by BAHA without Cause or termination by Enderby for Good Reason, and if, but only if, Enderby signs a general release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to BAHA, Enderby shall also be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to (i) four weeks of his most recent base salary for every full year of his active employment, but such amount shall be no less than one month’s worth nor more than six months’ worth of his most recent base salary; plus (ii) the premium amounts paid for coverage under BAHA’s group medical, dental and vision programs for a period of twelve months, to be paid directly to Enderby at the same times such payments would be paid on behalf of a current employee for such coverage, provided that Enderby timely elects continued coverage under such plan(s) pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 as amended.

 

On November 4, 2016, we issued the Warrant to Enderby to purchase up to 24,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date. The Warrant may be exercised in equal monthly installments of 1,000 shares over a 24-month period commencing on December 4, 2016 and terminating on November 4, 2018.

 

BAHA previously has had its financial results consolidated with those of the Company as a variable interest entity. As part of the Transaction, the Company acquired the non-controlling interest of BAHA.

 

 

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, reference is made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on June 29, 2016.

 

In this Quarterly Report, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, “ApolloMed,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, its subsidiaries and its consolidated affiliates.  Our affiliated professional organizations are separate legal entities that provide physician services primarily in California and with which we have management agreements. For financial reporting purposes we consolidate the revenues and expenses of all our practice groups that we own or manage because we have a controlling financial interest in these practices based on applicable accounting rules and as described in our accompanying consolidated financial statements. References to “practices” or “practice groups” refer to our subsidiary-management company and the affiliated professional organizations of Apollo that provide medical services, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.

 

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events and the future results of Apollo that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions about our business. Words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “target,” “potential,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “sees,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section entitled “Risk Factors”, as well as those discussed from time to time in the Company’s other SEC filings and reports. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report, or for changes made to this document by wire services or Internet service providers.

Overview

 

We are a patient-centered, physician-centric integrated population health management company, working to provide coordinated, outcomes-based medical care in a cost-effective manner. We have built a company and culture that is focused on physicians providing high quality care, population management and care coordination for patients, particularly for senior patients and patients with multiple chronic conditions. We believe that we are well-positioned to take advantage of changes in the U.S. healthcare industry as there is a growing national movement towards value based healthcare centered on the triple aim of patient satisfaction, high-quality care and cost efficiency.

 

We operate in one reportable segment, the healthcare delivery segment, and implement and operate innovative health care models to create a patient-centered, physician-centric experience. Accordingly, we report our consolidated financial statements in the aggregate, including all of our activities in one reportable segment. We have the following integrated, population health platforms:

 

·

Hospitalists, which includes our contracted physicians who focus on the delivery of comprehensive medical care to hospitalized patients;

 

·

An ACO, which focuses on the provision of high-quality and cost-efficient care to Medicare FFS patients;

 

·

MMG, which contracts with physicians and provides care to Medicare, Medicaid, commercial and dual eligible patients on both fee-for-service and risk and value based fee bases;

 

·

Clinics, which provide primary care and specialty care in the Greater Los Angeles area;

 

·

Palliative care, home health and hospice services, which include, our at-home, pain management and final stages of life services; and

 

·

Cloud and mobile-based population and patient technology platform.

 

Our revenue streams are diversified among our various operations and contract types, and include:

 

·

Traditional fee-for-service reimbursement, which is the primary revenue source for our clinics and palliative care; and

 

·

Risk and value-based contracts with health plans, IPAs, hospitals and the CMS’s MSSP, which are the primary revenue sources for our hospitalists, ACO and IPAs.

 

 

We serve Medicare, Medicaid, HMO and uninsured patients in California. We primarily provide services to patients that are covered by private or public insurance, although we do derive a small portion of our revenue from non-insured patients. We provide care coordination services to each major constituent of the healthcare delivery system, including patients, families, primary care physicians, specialists, acute care hospitals, alternative sites of inpatient care, physician groups and health plans.

 

ApolloMed has built a company and culture that is focused on physicians providing high quality care, population management and care coordination for patients, particularly for senior patients and patients with multiple chronic conditions. Our goal is to transform the delivery of healthcare services in the communities we serve by implementing innovative population health models and creating a patient-centered, physician-centric experience in a high performance environment of integrated care.

 

The initial business owned by ApolloMed is AMH, a hospitalist company, incorporated in California in June, 2001 and began operations at Glendale Memorial Hospital. Through a reverse merger, ApolloMed became a publicly held company in June 2008. ApolloMed was initially organized around the admission and care of patients at inpatient facilities such as hospitals. We have grown our inpatient strategy in a competitive market by providing high-quality care and innovative solutions for our hospital and managed care clients. In 2012, we formed an ACO, ApolloMed ACO, and an IPA, MMG, and in 2013 we expanded our service offering to include integrated inpatient and outpatient. In 2014, we added several complementary operations by acquiring an IPA, outpatient primary care and specialty clinics, as well as hospice/palliative care and home health entities. In January 2016, the Company formed ApolloCare which acquired certain technology and other assets of Healarium, Inc., which provides the Company with cloud and mobile-based population health management platform that includes digital care plans, a case management module, connectivity with multiple healthcare tracking devices and the ability to integrate with multiple electronic health records to capture clinical data.

 

Our physician network consists of hospitalists, primary care physicians and specialist physicians primarily through our owned and affiliated physician groups. We operate through the following subsidiaries: AMM, PCCM, VMM and ApolloMed ACO. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, AMM, we manage affiliated medical groups, which consist of AMH, MMG, SCHC, and BAHA. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, PCCM, we manage LALC, and through our wholly-owned subsidiary VMM, we manage Hendel. We also have a controlling interest in APS, which owns two Los Angeles-based companies, Best Choice Hospice Care LLC and Holistic Health Home Health Care Inc. AMM, PCCM and VMM each operate as a physician practice management company and are in the business of providing management services to physician practice corporations under long-term management service agreements. Our ACO participates in the MSSP, the goal of which is to improve the quality of patient care and outcomes through more efficient and coordinated approach among providers. Revenues earned by ApolloMed ACO are uncertain, and, if such amounts are payable, they will be paid on an annual basis significantly after the time earned, and will be contingent on various factors, including achievement of the minimum savings rate as determined by MSSP for the relevant period.

 

Recent Developments

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, in furtherance of the development of our business, we entered into new hospitalist service agreements with Salinas Hospital, Beverly Hospital, Mee Memorial Hospital, and Lompoc Valley Medical Center, whereby we will provide comprehensive hospitalist services to each of these hospitals. We also entered in to new management services agreements with APCN ACO, Inc. and Allied Physicians ACO, LLC, whereby we will provide end-to-end population health management solutions, leveraging off our ACO’s expertise, processes and success within the MSSP. 

 

The following describes certain developments during the six months ended September 30, 2016 that are important to understanding our financial condition and results of operations. See the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about each of these developments.

Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2015

 

Net revenues

 

Consolidated net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $14.6 million from $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $3.2 million or 29%. This increase in consolidated net revenues was primarily due to an increase of approximately $3.9 million associated with Hospitalist services from AMH and BAHA, principally due to addition of new contracts in Southern and Northern California, partially offset by a decline in BCHC revenues of approximately $0.4 million related to a decline in patient admits and census, and ACC revenue of $0.3 million and $0.1 million from LALC.

 

Consolidated net revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $27.0 million from $21.6 million approximately $5.4 million or 25%, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in the consolidated net revenues was primarily due to an increase of approximately $5.4 million associated with Hospitalist services from AMH and BAHA, principally due to addition of new contracts in Southern and Northern California. The overall increase in consolidated net revenues benefited from an increase of approximately $1.0 million in MMG revenue related to increase in membership, partially offset by decline in BCHC revenue of $0.4 million and HCHHA and ACC revenue of $0.3 million each. 

 

Cost of services

 

The cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $12.2 million from $8.3 million, approximately $3.9 million or 47%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in cost of service was primarily due to increase of approximately $3.9 million associated with Hospitalist services from AMH and BAHA, principally due to addition of new contracts in Southern and Northern California. Cost of services were negatively impacted by higher professional fees, and claims expense in MMG of approximately $0.6 million offset by lower patient care costs in BCHC, HCHHA and ACC of approximately $0.6 million.

 

The cost of services for the six months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $22.3 million from $15.8 million approximately $6.5 million or 41%, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in cost of service was primarily due to increase of approximately $5.3 million associated with hospitalist services from AMH and BAHA, principally due to addition of new contracts in Southern and Northern California. Cost of services were also impacted by higher professional fees, and claims expense in MMG amounting to approximately $2.0 million. The decrease in cost of services related to the discontinued operations of ACC was $0.4 million and BCHC and HCHHA cost declined $0.3 million and $0.1 million respectively from decreased patient census.

 

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $ 4.4 million from $3.4 million, approximately $1.0 million or 29%, as compared to the same period of 2015. The increase was primarily due to increases in employee compensation amounting to $0.7 million and $0.3 million in operating expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $8.3 million from $7.7 million, approximately $0.6 million or 8.0%, as compared to the same period of 2015. The increase was primarily due to increases in employee compensation amounting to $1.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in consulting and professional fees of $0.7 million.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million or 120% and 137% during the three and six months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, due to recurring depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and amortization of new intangible assets purchased during the current period.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million or 96% and 99% during the three and six months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, due to reduction in debt as a result of conversions and repayments in the prior year.

 

Gain on change in fair value of warrant and conversion feature liabilities

 

Gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability increased by approximately $0.4 million and $1.5 million or 428% and 1241% during the three and six months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which resulted from the change in the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrants issued to NMM in October 2015, which considered among other things, expected term, the volatility of the Company’s share price and interest rates.

 

Other Income

 

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased by approximately $0.1 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, as a result of the reduction in provider incentives from health plans.

 

Other income for the six months ended September 30, 2016 remained constant with the six months ended September 30, 2015. 

 

Income tax benefit

 

Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2016 remained constant with the three months ended September 30, 2015. 

 

Income tax benefit for the six months ended September 30, 2016 increased approximately $0.1 million, or 142%, as compared to the same period of 2015, resulting in a net tax benefit. The benefit is driven by the projected effective tax rate of the entities for the year ending March 31, 2017 and the difference in the Net loss for the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016.

 

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests

 

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest was approximately $0.1 million compared to net income attributable to non-controlling interest of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This resulted in a change of approximately $0.3 million and 147%. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, net income attributable to non-controlling interest decreased by approximately $0.2 million or 38%. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have incurred a net loss of approximately $2.4 million and used approximately $4.4 million in cash from operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2016, and, as of September 30, 2016 have an accumulated deficit and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $31.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

 

Our current sources of revenues are insufficient to cover our operating costs, and as such, we have incurred an operating loss since its inception. Our primary source of liquidity as of September 30, 2016 is cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.8 million.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long-term ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to increase revenue, reduce costs, achieve a satisfactory level of profitable operations, and obtain additional sources of suitable and adequate financing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent our ability to further develop our business. We may also have to reduce certain overhead costs through the deferral of salaries and other means, and settle liabilities through negotiation. There can be no assurance that management’s attempts at any or all of these endeavors will be successful.

 

 

We believe that we will be able to meet costs as they are incurred through cash on hand and additional amounts, as may be necessary, to be loaned by or invested in us by our current investors and/or others. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends, in significant part, on our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and pay our obligations arising from normal business operations as they come due.

 

Until we can generate sufficient positive cash flow to fund operations, we will remain dependent on raising additional capital through debt and/or equity transactions. We are currently exploring sources of additional funding. Without limiting our available options, future equity financings will most likely be through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. It is possible that we would also offer warrants, options and/or rights in conjunction with any future sales of our securities. Management believes that it will be able to raise additional working capital through the issuance of stock and/or debt. Currently, however, we do not have any commitments for additional capital, nor can we provide assurance that any financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If, after utilizing the existing sources of capital available to us, further capital needs are identified and we are not successful in obtaining financing, we may be forced to curtail our existing or planned future operations.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that we cannot continue as a going concern.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.4 million. This was the result of net loss of approximately $2.4 million plus the negative change in working capital of approximately $1.6 million and the add-backs of non-cash expenses of approximately $0.4 million. Non-cash expenses primarily include provision for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and the change in the fair value of the warrant and conversion feature liabilities. Cash used in operations from changes in working capital was primarily due to the increase of approximately $1.3 million in accounts receivable, decrease of approximately $0.6 million in medical liabilities, approximately $0.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and advances, offset by the approximately $0.3 million decrease in other receivables.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.2 million and was the result of cash used for the purchase of property and equipment.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used by financing activities was approximately $0.9 million which includes approximately $1.1 million of distributions to a non-controlling interest shareholder and approximately $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

 

NMM Investments

 

October 2015 Investment by NMM

 

On October 14, 2015, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2015 Agreement”) with NMM, pursuant to which we sold to NMM, and NMM purchased from us, in a private offering of securities, 1,111,111 Series A Units, each Series A Unit consisting of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and a Series A Warrant to purchase one share of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share. NMM paid us an aggregate $10,000,000 for the Series A Units, the proceeds of which we used primarily to repay certain outstanding indebtedness owed by us to NNA and the balance for working capital. The Series A Warrants may be exercised at any time after issuance and through October 14, 2020, for $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and stock splits.

 

On October 15, 2015, we repaid, from the proceeds of the sale of the securities to NMM under the 2015 Agreement, our outstanding term loan and revolving credit facility with NNA pursuant to the Credit Agreement, in the aggregate amount of $7,304,506, consisting of principal plus accrued interest. As of March 31, 2016, no amount remains outstanding to NNA.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible not sooner than the earlier to occur of (i) the later of (x) January 31, 2017 or (y) 60 days after the date on which we file our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2016 (the “Redemption Expiration Date”); or (ii) the date on which we receive the written, irrevocable decision of NMM not to require a redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock (as described in the following paragraph), in the event that we engage in one or more transactions resulting in gross proceeds of not less than $5,000,000, not including any transaction with NMM.

 

At any time prior to conversion and through the Redemption Expiration Date, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of NMM, on one occasion, in the event that our net revenue for the four quarters ending September 30, 2016, as reported in our periodic filings under the Exchange Act, are less than $60,000,000, which was the case. In such event, we shall have up to one year from the date of the notice of redemption by NMM to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Warrants and any shares of our Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise of any Series A Warrants theretofore (collectively the “Redeemed Securities”), for the aggregate price paid therefor by NMM, together with interest at a rate of 10% per annum from the date of the notice of redemption until the closing of the redemption. Any mandatory conversion described in the previous paragraph shall not take place until such time as it is determined that that conditions for the redemption of the Redeemed Securities have not been satisfied or, if such conditions exist, NMM has decided not to have such securities redeemed.

 

The Company did not attain the $60,000,000 net revenues milestone noted above by September 30, 2016. Accordingly, the Series A are currently subject to redemption for $10,000,000. However, as of the date of this filing, no such redemption notice has been received by the Company.

 

 

March 2016 Investment

 

On March 30, 2016, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2016 Agreement”) with NMM, pursuant to which we sold to NMM, and NMM purchased from us, in a private offering of securities, 555,555 Series B Units, each Series B Unit consisting of one share of our Series B Preferred Stock and a Series B Warrant to purchase one share of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. NMM paid us an aggregate $4,999,995 for the Series B Units, the proceeds of which will be used by us for working capital. The Series B Warrants may be exercised at any time after issuance and through March 31, 2021, for $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and stock splits.

 

MMG

 

 

The DMHC oversees the performance of RBO in California. RBO is measured for TNE, Working Capital, Cash to Claims ratio and Claims Timeliness. MMG is an RBO in California and is required to maintain positive TNE. In the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2016, MMG reported negative TNE. The DMHC determined that, as of February 28, 2016, MMG, was not in compliance with the DMHC’s positive TNE requirement for an RBO. As a result, the DMHC required MMG to develop and implement a corrective action plan for such deficiency. A corrective plan has been submitted and is under review by DMHC. MMG has up to one year to cure the deficiency. Based on our current projections, we believe that MMG will achieve positive TNE by the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

 

 

Lines of credit

 

We have lines of credit from three financial institutions aggregating $480,000, of which $201,264 was outstanding at September 30, 2016. Borrowings under the lines of credit bear interest ranging from 5% through prime rate plus 4.5% per annum. These lines of credit are unsecured.

 

Concentration of Payors

 

 

Receivables from Government - Medicare/Medi-Cal amounted to 29.0% and 39.3% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Receivables from Allied Physicians amounted to 8.5% and 15.8% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Company anticipates that Medicare/Medi-Cal and Allied Physicians will continue to be significant payors.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.  We believe that our critical accounting policies are limited to those described in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. 

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for recently issued accounting pronouncements, including information on new accounting standards and the future adoption of such standards.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements. 

  

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2016, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2016.

 

We have identified the following three material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures:

 

1.   We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

2.    We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

3.    We do not have adequate review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions. The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy of financial information reported. The failure to adequately review and supervise could allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information. Due to our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or economically feasible.

 

Based on the foregoing material weaknesses, we have determined that, as of September 30, 2016, our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective. We are developing a remediation plan outlining the steps and resources necessary to address each material weakness Additionally, we continue to add employees and consultants to address these issues and we will continue to broaden the scope of our accounting and billing capabilities and realign responsibilities in our financial and accounting review functions.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  

In the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services that are provided by our affiliated hospitalists. We may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve significant claims and/or significant defense costs. We have become involved in the following two legal matters:

 

 

On May 16, 2014, Lakeside Medical Group, Inc. and Regal Medical Group, Inc., two independent physician associations who compete with the Company in the greater Los Angeles area, filed an action against the Company and two affiliates of the Company, MMG and AMH, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The complaint alleged that the Company and its two affiliates made misrepresentations and engaged in other acts in order to improperly solicit physicians and patient-enrollees from Plaintiffs. The Complaint sought compensatory and punitive damages. On June 30, 2014, the Company and its affiliates filed a motion requesting the Court to stay the court proceeding and order the parties to arbitrate this dispute subject to existing arbitration agreements. On August 11, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the action. On August 12, 2014, the Plaintiffs served the Company and its affiliates with Demands for Arbitration before Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services (“JAMS”) in Los Angeles. The Company is currently examining the merits of the claims to be arbitrated, and it is too early to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the potential loss if the outcome should be negative. The Company is aware that punitive damages previously sought in the court proceeding are not available in arbitration. The Company and its affiliates are preparing a defense to the allegations and the Company intends to vigorously defend the action. 

 

On August 28, 2014, Lakeside Medical Group, Inc. and Regal Medical Group, Inc., filed a similar lawsuit against Warren Hosseinion, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Hosseinion is defending the action and is currently being indemnified by the Company subject to the terms of an indemnification agreement and the Company’s charter. The Company has an existing Directors and Officers insurance policy. On September 9, 2014, Dr. Hosseinion filed a motion requesting the Court to stay the court proceeding and, pursuant to existing arbitration agreements, order the parties to arbitrate the dispute as part of the pending arbitration proceedings before JAMS (as discussed above). On October 29, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the action. On November 13, 2014, Plaintiffs served Dr. Hosseinion with Demands for Arbitration before JAMS in Los Angeles, and on November 19, 2014, the parties agreed to consolidate the two proceedings against Dr. Hosseinion with the two existing proceedings against the Company and its affiliates. The parties are currently pursuing mediation of the dispute. The Company continues to examine the merits of the claims to be arbitrated against Dr. Hosseinion, and it is too early to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the potential loss if the outcome should be negative. The Company is aware that punitive damages previously sought in the court proceeding against Dr. Hosseinion are not available in arbitration.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2016, the parties resolved the matter in a written settlement agreement without an adjudication or admission of liability by any of the parties.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have incurred net loss of approximately $2.4 million and used approximately $4.3 million in cash from operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2016, and, as of September 30, 2016 have an accumulated deficit and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $31.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The primary source of liquidity as of September 30, 2016 is cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.8 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
