REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS RE

 

To the Audit Committee of

Veneto Holdings, LLC

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Veneto Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”); this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and A disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Veneto Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with GAAP.

Other Matter

The combined financial statements of Medoc Health Services and Affiliates (now the consolidated financial statements of Veneto Holdings, LLC) as of December 31, 2016, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 18, 2017, expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.

Other Financial Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The Consolidating Balance Sheet and Statement of Income, which is the responsibility of management, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements, and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

(Dollars in thousands)

1. ORGANIZATION

 

From inception through March 16, 2017, Medoc Health Services and Affiliates (“Medoc”) represented the combination of Medoc Health Services, LLC (MHS) formed on October 24, 2014, Messorio Healthcare Services, LLC (Messorio) formed on April 27, 2015, Buccella Biomedical, LP (Buccella) formed on March 10, 2016, MD 20/20 Health Services, LP (MD 20/20) formed on September 3, 2015, and Molise Health Sciences, LLC (Molise) formed on January 23, 2017. MHS and Buccella hold investments in and manage managed services organizations (each an “MSO”). Messorio owns and operates ancillary health care service providers, primarily pharmacies and laboratories in Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona. MD 20/20 provides management, administrative, and marketing services with respect to physicians that are not affiliated with a MHS MSO. Molise owns and operates a diagnostic laboratory in Arizona.

On March 16, 2017 the membership interests of MHS, Messorio, Buccella, MD 20/20, and Molise were contributed by their members to Veneto Holdings, LLC (“Veneto” or the “Company”), which was formed on December 10, 2015. As of March 16, 2017, Veneto Holdings, LLC represents the consolidation of each of the aforementioned entities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Business—Veneto is a Master managed services organization engaged in the business of providing, directly or through affiliates, certain management, administrative, and marketing services to a network of ancillary health care service providers including specialty pharmacies, diagnostic laboratories, diagnostic imaging centers, and biologic companies. Through this network, Veneto is able to provide physicians with a portfolio of services designed to improve patient care, practice productivity, and clinical efficiency. The Company began operations in 2015 when the first Veneto-managed MSO was formed. Veneto, through its wholly owned subsidiary MHS, entered into contractual relationships with ancillary service providers, where Medoc performed certain management, administrative and marketing services on behalf of the ancillary service provider (each a “VSA”) in exchange for service fees. From inception to March 2016, Medoc had VSAs with specialty pharmacies, laboratories, diagnostic imaging providers, and biologic companies, with the vast majority of revenue coming from the VSAs with specialty pharmacies. In November 2015, the Company transitioned from contractual relationships with non-owned or “contracted” pharmacies and laboratories to owned pharmacies and laboratories. Each MSO contracts directly with Medoc to provide a portion of the services that Medoc has agreed to provide to each ancillary service vendor under a VSA. Each MSO is then entitled to a portion of the revenues collected by Medoc for the portion of services that the MSO performs. Assuming that the MSO has available cash (as defined), each MSO makes a monthly distribution of profits to each MSO member based on the member’s ownership percentage.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Veneto, MHS, Messorio, Buccella, MD 20/20, Molise, and each of their subsidiaries. All material balances and transactions between these entities have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company continually evaluates its investments to determine if they represent variable interests in a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in a VIE, the Company then evaluates if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the Company has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb benefits from or losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates a VIE if it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. While the individual MSOs have more diverse ownership, the outside (non-common) ownership does not have the ability to direct the activities of the entity. The outside ownership does not have the ability to determine the timing or amount of distributions. As a result, these VIEs are consolidated and the non-controlling interest presented represents the physician ownership. The Company consolidates entities in which it or its wholly owned subsidiary is the general partner or managing member and the limited partners or members, respectively, do not have substantive participating rights to overcome the Company’s control. These entities’ intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated through consolidation.

Revenue Recognition—Revenue is recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from the provision of pharmacy services is recognized when the prescription is dispensed (picked up by the patient or shipped to the patient using common carrier). At the time of dispensing each pharmacy has a contract with the insurance payor (item (i)); the insurance payor has accepted the claim for reimbursement from the pharmacy and informed the pharmacy how much will be paid for the prescription (item (iii)); the insurance payor is now legally obligated to make payment on the accepted claim within a given period proscribed by statute (item (iv)); and, the prescription has been taken from the pharmacy inventory, placed into an individually labeled container specific to the patient, and the patient is able to take possession of the prescription (item (ii)). Shipment to or pick up by the patient is the first time that all criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Revenue from the provision of laboratory services is recognized upon the completion of accessions (the requested laboratory test has been performed and the report has been issued to the requesting physician). After the test has been performed and reported, the insurance company and/or patient has an obligation to pay for medically necessary laboratory tests (items (i) and (ii)). Unlike the pharmacy services model, laboratory services are provided prior to insurance company approval; as a result, the seller’s price to buyer is not known until payment is provided (items (iii) and (iv). Based on historical collections, the Company estimates the expected revenues associated with similar tests and recognizes the revenue when testing results have been provided.

Provisions for estimated sales returns and uncollectible accounts are recorded in the period in which the related sales are recognized based on historical and anticipated rates.

The Company determines whether it is the principal or agent for its retail pharmacy contract services on a contract by contract basis. In the majority of its contracts, the Company has determined it is the principal due to it: (i) being the primary obligor in the arrangement, (ii) having latitude in changing the product or performing part of the service, (iii) having discretion in supplier selection, (iv) having involvement in the determination of product or service specifications, and (v) having credit risk. The Company’s obligations under its client contracts for which revenues are reported using the gross method are separate and distinct from its obligations to the third party pharmacies included in its retail pharmacy network contracts. Pursuant to these contracts, the Company is contractually required to pay the third party pharmacies in its retail pharmacy network for products sold, regardless of whether the Company is paid by its clients. The Company’s responsibilities under its client contracts typically include validating eligibility and coverage levels, communicating the prescription price and the co-payments due to the third party retail pharmacy, identifying possible adverse drug interactions for the pharmacist to address with the prescriber prior to dispensing, suggesting generic alternatives where clinically appropriate, and approving the prescription for dispensing. Although the Company does not have credit risk with respect to Retail Co-Payments or inventory risk related to retail network claims, management believes that all of the other applicable indicators of gross revenue reporting are present. For contracts under which the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized using the net method.

Cost of Goods Sold—Costs and directly related expenses to sell the Company’s products and services are recorded as cost of goods sold when the related revenue is recognized. The Company records shipping and handling costs related to delivery of products to customers within cost of goods sold.

Income Taxes—The Company is not generally a taxable entity for income tax purposes, with the exception of Texas franchise tax. Other income taxes are generally borne by individual members. Net income for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income of members as a result of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and the taxable income allocation requirements under the various membership agreements. The aggregated difference in the basis of our net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined because information regarding each member’s tax attributes in us is not available to us. The years 2015 through 2017 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States of America, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. All of the amounts reported as cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets represent cash on deposit, which is available on demand to the Company.

Restricted Cash—Restricted cash is stated at cost. The Company had cash held in a specified cash collateral account which was required upon entrance into the lease of its corporate offices.

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and estimated returns. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recognized for estimated losses resulting from customers’ inability to meet payment obligations. Management specifically analyzes account receivables and historical bad debt; customer concentrations; customer creditworthiness; past due balances; current economic trends; and changes in customer payment terms when determining allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances for estimated returns are recognized for sales that have occurred but

 10 

 

which are expected to result in returned products from patients based upon their determination that they no longer need the medication. Additional allowances may be required in future periods if financial positions of customers deteriorate, reducing their ability to meet payment obligations. Based on these estimates and assumptions, allowances for doubtful accounts and estimated returns were $70 and $1,589 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Inventories—Inventories, which consist of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost, determined principally under the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. Inventories include the cost of pharmaceuticals, reagents, and consumables. Obsolete or excess inventories are reflected at their estimated realizable values. Net realizable value is the estimated sales revenue for a normal period of activity less expected selling costs. Allowances for excess and obsolete inventory are recognized for excess amounts, obsolescence and declines in net realizable value below cost. Estimation and judgment are required in determining the value of the allowance for excess and obsolete inventory at each statement of financial position date. Management specifically analyzes estimates of future demand for products when determining allowances for excess and obsolete inventory. Changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventory in future periods. Based on these estimates and assumptions, the Company had an allowance for excess and obsolete inventory of $95 and $220 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Property and Equipment—Property, equipment and improvements to leased premises are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or when applicable, the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Major renewals or replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows:

Leasehold improvements   The shorter of the expected useful life of the improvement or the lease term
     
Computers and technological assets   3-5 years
Machinery and equipment   5 years
Furniture and fixtures   7 years

Assets acquired through finance lease arrangements or long-term rental arrangements that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards associated with ownership of the asset to the Company (as lessee) are capitalized.

Depreciation is accounted for in the Consolidated Statement of Income under Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expense, depending on the use of the underlying assets. Depreciation expense recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, was approximately $588 and $324, respectively.

In addition, gains (losses) from disposals of property and equipment are accounted for in the corresponding cost line items in the Consolidated Statement of Income depending on where in the Consolidated Statement of Income the underlying asset would normally be expensed (i.e., Cost of Goods Sold or Selling, General and Administrative Expenses). Losses from disposals of assets recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, were $126 and $37, respectively.

 11 

 

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Intangible assets consist of goodwill and licenses associated with business acquisitions as well as purchased software used in the business. The Company has elected to use the Private Company Council guidance as issued in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other and amortizes goodwill associated with business acquisitions, as well as licenses, straight-line over a three-year period. Software used in the business is amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Additions to intangible assets are recorded at cost.

Goodwill is tested for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the entity may be below its carrying amount. The Company evaluates goodwill at the entity level. Messorio and Molise are the only entities with goodwill. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. A goodwill impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the entity exceeds its fair value. A goodwill impairment loss, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of an entity including goodwill exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses associated with goodwill have been recorded.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, was approximately $6,017 and $5,256, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets has been reflected in amortization within Selling, General, and Administrative Expense in the consolidated statements of income. Expected future amortization of goodwill and intangible assets is $5,323, $883, and $103 for the years ending December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The carrying value of property and equipment is assessed for recoverability by management whenever events or change in circumstances indicate an impairment may exist based on analysis of future undiscounted expected cash flows from the asset or asset group. Impairment losses are accounted for in the Consolidated Statement of Income under Impairment of Long-lived Assets. No significant impairment losses associated with property and equipment were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Notes Receivable from Related Parties—Notes receivable from related parties are stated at historical cost, net of any related amortization and/or impairment, and consist of amounts which are of continuing benefit to the Company.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amount of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Fair Value Hierarchy—The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:

 12 

 

Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.
Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of inputs market participants could use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments—As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due to related parties, notes receivable from related parties, accounts payable, notes payable, equipment lease financing liability, and contingent consideration liability. Due to the nature of these instruments, the Company’s carrying value approximates fair value. There were no outstanding derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Contingent Consideration—The Company from time to time includes in its acquisition purchase agreements, a provision that the seller is entitled to a portion of future net profits from the entity over a specified period of time. The Company considers the net profit agreement to be contingent consideration at the purchase date and records a liability for the fair value of the amount expected to be paid under the net profits agreement. Contingent consideration is considered a Level 3 financial instrument.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

2016 Acquisitions—On February 1, 2016, the Company acquired the limited liability company interests of Doctors Specialty Pharmacy, LLC (DSP) for a total purchase price of $115 in cash. As a result of the seller accepting consideration that was less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, primarily attributable to the value of the seller’s recorded accounts receivable, this acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of $870 which is included in Other Gain in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2016. The purchase of DSP allowed for increased market share in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

At the acquisition date, the purchase price assigned to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was as follows:

Consideration - cash, net of cash acquired  $(407)
Allocated fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities:     
Accounts receivable   $7 68 
Prepaids and other current assets   4 
Property and equipment   90 
Accounts payable and other current liabilities   (399)
Total indentifiable net assets   463 
Bargain purchase gain   (870)
Total net assets acquired  $(407)

 13 

 

On March 18, 2016, the Company acquired the limited liability company interests of Eco Pharmacy of South Austin, LLC (“Eco”) for a total of $1,326 which represented $59 in cash and a net revenues interest equal to five percent of Eco’s net revenues for a period of three years, valued at $1,267. The purchase of Eco expanded the footprint of the Company into Austin, Texas.

At the acquisition date, the purchase price assigned to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was as follows:

Consideration:   
Cash, net of cash acquired  $59 
Contingent consideration   1,267 
   $1,326 
Allocated fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities:     
Accounts receivable  $141 
Inventory   36

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On May 2, 2017, the Company learned that it is the subject of a federal grand jury investigation into allegations concerning (i) compounding pharmacy practices and payments made to physician investors with federal health care laws and regulations, and (ii) a business interruption insurance claim made following the destruction of a pharmacy in December of 2015. On May 9, 2018, the government executed a search warrant on the Company’s offices located at 3030 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas, 75234. Subsequent to the execution of the search warrant, the government served grand jury subpoenas on several of the Company’s pharmacies. The Company has assured the government that it will cooperate with the government’s investigation, that it has been preserving, and will continue to preserve, a wide range of documents and electronic evidence, and that it looks forward to discussing the government’s concerns. As this matter is in its early stages, the Company does not have the ability to determine whether a loss associated with this matter is probable, nor would a loss be estimable. As such, no liability has been accrued as of December 31, 2017.

The Company is involved in various pending and threatened actions as well as regulatory investigations arising from its normal business operations. After consultations with legal counsel, since these actions are in the early stages, management cannot estimate the impact that these matters will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through June 28, 2018, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available for issuance, and concluded that there were no events or transactions that needed to be disclosed other than 1) the execution of a search warrant on the Company’s offices as described in Note 13 and 2) the Company provided $1,500 under the terms of a convertible promissory note to a related party entity.
