NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

1.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Data

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of BioTelemetry, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “BioTelemetry”) financial position as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited.  The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

 

Net Loss

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260, Earnings Per Share.  The following summarizes the potential outstanding common stock of the Company at September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

 

 

September 30, 2014

 

September 30, 2013

 

Employee stock purchase plan estimated share options outstanding

 

93,875

 

82,979

 

Common stock options and restricted stock units outstanding

 

4,122,261

 

4,163,020

 

Common stock options and restricted stock units available for grant

26,652,984

 

25,723,376

 

Total

 

34,124,183

 

32,299,161

 

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including stock options and warrants, as applicable.

 

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

If the outstanding vested options or restricted stock units were exercised or converted into common stock, the result would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Table of Contents

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, short-term and long-term debt.  With the exception of the long-term debt, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature (classified as Level 1).  For long-term debt, based on the borrowing rates currently available, the carrying value also approximates fair value as of September 30, 2014 (classified as Level 2).  The Company did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. financial institutions or in custodial accounts with U.S. financial institutions.  Cash equivalents are defined as liquid investments and money market funds with maturity from date of purchase of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash and have minimal interest rate risk.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable related to the Patient Services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts.  The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed.  The Company records allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of receivables using historical data.  The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections, and the aging of receivables by payor.  Because of continuing changes in the healthcare industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that the Company’s estimates of collectability could change, which could have a material impact on the Company’s operations and cash flows.

 

Other receivables related to the Product and Research Services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, or when the services or products are billable, net of discounts.  The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis, and considers several factors in its analysis, including customer specific information and aging of the account.

 

The Company writes off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote and when the Company believes collection efforts have been fully exhausted and it does not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect.  The Company performs write-offs on a monthly basis.  In the Patient Services segment, the Company wrote off $5,052 and $6,769 of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.  There were no material write-offs in the Product and Research Services segments.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $1,868 and $6,972, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $1,427 and $5,861, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of the following:

Total inventories

 

$

2,559

 

$

2,554

 

 

Inventories, which include purchased parts, materials, direct labor and applied manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by use of the first-in, first-out method.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or when events arise that could indicate that impairment exists.  The provisions of ASC 350 require that the Company perform a two-step impairment test.  In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units.  If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceeds the fair value of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units’ goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting units’ goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded.

Table of Contents

 

For the purpose of performing its goodwill impairment analysis, the Company considers its business to be comprised of three reporting units: Patient Services, Product and Research Services.  The Company calculates the fair value of the reporting units utilizing a weighting of the income and market approaches.  The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that includes assumptions for, among other things, forecasted income, cash flow, growth rates, income tax rates, expected tax benefits and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgment.  The market approach utilizes the Company’s market data as well as market data from publicly traded companies that are similar to the Company.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and the judgment applied in the analysis.  The Company believes that the combination of an income and a market approach provides a reasonable basis to estimate the fair value of its reporting units.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.  ASC 718 requires that an entity measure the cost of equity-based service awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost of such awards over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period).  ASC 718 requires that an entity measure the cost of liability-based service awards based on current fair value that is re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date.  The Company accounts for equity awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

 

As a result of stock-based compensation expense incurred, the Company’s loss before income taxes was increased by $694 and $2,662, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  As a result of stock-based compensation expense incurred, the Company’s loss before income taxes was increased by $794 and $2,505 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the impact of stock-based compensation expense on basic and diluted earnings per share was $(0.03) and $(0.10).  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the impact of stock-based compensation expense on basic and diluted earnings per share was $(0.03) and $(0.10).

 

The Company estimates the fair value of its share-based awards to employees and directors using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the use of certain subjective assumptions.  The most significant of these assumptions are the estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of the Company’s stock and the expected term of the award.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company based the estimates of expected volatility on the historical average of our stock price.  The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based awards granted are expected to be outstanding.  Other assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model include the risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield.  The risk-free interest rate for periods pertaining to the contractual life of each option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield of a similar duration in effect at the time of grant.  The Company has never paid, and does not expect to pay, dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock options granted using the following weighted average assumptions:

Based on the Company’s historical experience of options that cancel before becoming fully vested, the Company has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 15% for all options.  Under the true-up provision of ASC 718, the Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.

 

Based on the above assumptions, the per share weighted average fair value of the options granted under the stock option plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $4.94 and $1.59, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition.  The new standard will require revenue recognized to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  The standard also requires new, expanded disclosures regarding revenue recognition and is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Other Acquisitions

 

On June 3, 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary CardioCore Lab, LLC (“CardioCore”), acquired the assets of RadCore Lab, LLC (“RadCore”), an imaging core lab serving the biopharmaceutical and medical device research market.  This acquisition broadens the Company’s offerings and adds new oncology, musculoskeletal and neurological imaging capabilities, supported by a state-of-the-art, cloud-based analysis platform.  The Company paid $400 in cash at closing and 22,513 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $200 at closing.  While this acquisition provides growth potential, the acquisition of RadCore did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

3.              Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill was recognized at the time of the Company’s acquisitions.  The carrying amounts of goodwill as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $29,716 and $16,469, respectively. Purchase accounting rules require that as pre-acquisition issues are identified, the results are to increase or decrease the preliminary value of assets and liabilities, which are offset by a change in goodwill.  The modification to Patient Services goodwill in the third quarter of $213 was the result of a change in estimate related to assumed liabilities in connection with the Mednet acquisition.

 

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill by segment were as follows:

4.              Integration, Restructuring and Other Charges

 

The Company accounts for expenses associated with exit or disposal activities in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and records the expenses in Integration, restructuring and other charges in its statement of operations, and records the related accrual in the Accrued expenses line on its balance sheet.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred expenses related to restructuring, integration and other activities.  These expenses were primarily a result of the Company’s recent patent litigation, the Civil Investigative Demand, as well as the activities surrounding the Company’s acquisitions which were net of a reversal of a legal accrual related to the Mednet acquisition.  A summary of these expenses is as follows:

5.              Income Taxes

 

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the quarterly period in which they occur.  The Company reviews and updates its estimated annual effective tax rate each quarter.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate was (1.49%).  The Company recorded $2,869 of a tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the Mednet acquisition that occurred in January 2014.  This was partially offset by $246 in tax expense incurred primarily for state income tax.

 

As of September 30, 2014, in accordance with ASC 740, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, with exception to the deferred tax liability recorded for indefinite lived intangibles.  The Company will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until such time it can reasonably estimate the probability of realizing a benefit from the deferred tax assets.

 

6.              Credit Agreement

 

On August 29, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with MidCap Financial, LLC to provide revolving loan borrowings with a loan commitment of up to $15,000, with an option by the Company to increase to a maximum loan commitment of $30,000.  Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 4.75%.  An unused line fee of 0.50% per annum is payable on any unused line balance, determined as the total loan commitment of $15,000 minus the average daily balance of the sum of the revolving loan borrowings outstanding during the preceding month.  Furthermore, if the Company terminates the agreement at any point prior to the loan expiration date, the Company will incur a loan origination fee of 1.00% of the loan commitment due immediately preceding the termination.  The Credit Agreement is secured by the Company’s personal property, inventory and other assets and expires in August 2016.  The Company withdrew $8,000 on April 3, 2014 to fund the BMS acquisition.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s outstanding balance on the credit agreement was $8,000.

 

On February 21, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bancorp Bank for an aggregate amount of $9,830.  The proceeds were used to pay off the assumed debt of $8,563 associated with the Mednet acquisition.  The Loans bear interest at an annual rate of 3.25% until March 1, 2019, and thereafter will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (1) 3.25% or (2) the prime rate as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal or the highest prime rate if more than one is published.  Beginning April 1, 2014, the principal amount of the Loans will be repaid, on a monthly basis, in installments of $38, plus accrued interest, until April 1, 2019, when the principal amount of the Loans will be repaid, on a monthly basis, in installments of $75, plus accrued interest, until paid in full on or before March 1, 2024 or such earlier date upon an acceleration of the Loans by Lenders upon an event of default or termination of the Borrowers.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s outstanding balance on the credit agreement was $9,524.

 

7.              Segment Information

 

The Company operates under three segments: Patient Services, Product and Research Services.  The Patient Services segment’s principal focus is on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders, through its core Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry™ (“MCOT™”), wEvent, event, Holter, Pacemaker and International Normalized Ratio (“INR”) monitoring services in a healthcare setting.  The Product business segment focuses on the development, manufacturing, testing and marketing of medical devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals.  The Research Services segment is engaged in central core laboratory services providing cardiac monitoring, imaging, scientific consulting and data management services for drug and medical device trials.  Intercompany revenue relating to the manufacturing of devices by the Product segment for the other segments is included on the intersegment revenue line.

 

Expenses that can be specifically identified with a segment have been included as deductions in determining pre-tax segment income.  Any remaining expenses including research and development costs as well as the elimination of costs associated with intercompany revenue are included in Corporate and Other.  Also included in Corporate and Other is the Department of Justice settlement, as well as interest expense, net and other financing expenses.  The Company does not allocate assets to the individual segments.  Mednet and BMS are primarily included in the Patient Services segment; with the product manufacturing and sales portions being included in the Product segment.  Radcore is included in the Research Services segment.

8.              Civil Investigative Demand

 

On August 25, 2011, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) issued by the U.S.  Department of Justice, Western District of Washington.  The CID states that it was issued as part of an investigation under the Federal False Claims Act and sought documents for the period January 1, 2007 through the date of the CID.  The CID indicates that the investigation concerns allegations that the Company may have used inappropriate diagnosis codes when submitting claims for payment to Medicare for its real-time, MCOT™ services.  During the second quarter of 2014, the Company reached an agreement in principle for a potential settlement; however, the pending settlement is subject to satisfactory negotiation and completion of a settlement agreement.  As result, the Company recorded a non-operating charge of $6,400 in the first half of 2014.  This reserve was recorded to Interest and other loss, net in the consolidated statements of operations and is included in Accrued liabilities on the balance sheet.

 

The final outcome of any current or future litigation or governmental or internal investigations, including the potential settlement described above, cannot be accurately predicted, nor can the Company predict any resulting penalties, fines or other sanctions that may be imposed at the discretion of federal or state regulatory authorities.  The Company records accruals for such contingencies to the extent that it concludes it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company’s actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this report and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  See the “Forward-Looking Statements” section at the beginning of this report.

 

Company Background

 

BioTelemetry operates under three segments: Patient Services, Product and Research Services.  The Patient Services segment is focused on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias, or heart rhythm disorders.  The Company offers cardiologists and electrophysiologists with a full spectrum of solutions which provides them with a single source of cardiac monitoring services.  These services range from the differentiated Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry™ (“MCOT™”) service to wEvent, event, Holter, Pacemaker and International Normalized Ratio (“INR”) monitoring.  The Product segment focuses on the development, manufacturing, testing and marketing of medical devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals.  The Research Services segment is engaged in central core laboratory services providing cardiac monitoring, imaging, scientific consulting and data management services for drug and medical device trials.

 

As of July 31, 2013, the Company reorganized to create a holding company structure.  CardioNet, Inc., which was previously the public company, became a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed entity, BioTelemetry, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and all the outstanding shares of stock of CardioNet, Inc. were exchanged, on a one for one basis, for stock of BioTelemetry, Inc.  The new holding company began trading on August 1, 2013 on NASDAQ under the same symbol “BEAT”.

 

Recent Acquisitions

 

On January 31, 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary CardioNet, LLC (“CardioNet”), acquired Mednet Healthcare Technologies, Inc., Heartcare Corporation of America, Inc., Universal Medical, Inc., and Universal Medical Laboratory, Inc. (together, “Mednet”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, CardioNet purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of the Mednet entities from the Seller for consideration of $5.5 million in cash and 96,649 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.7 million at closing.  In addition, as a result of the acquisition, the Company, through CardioNet, assumed indebtedness from the Mednet entities in the aggregate amount of $9.7 million, including interest.

 

On April 3, 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CardioNet, LLC, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the cardiac monitoring business of Biomedical Systems Corporation (“BMS”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, CardioNet acquired substantially all of the assets relating to BMS’s cardiac event monitoring, Holter monitoring and mobile telemetry monitoring services (other than certain ECG services and monitoring in connection with clinical trials) for consideration of $8.0 million in cash and $0.7 million of the Company’s common stock.  The $8.0 million cash was funded through the revolving loan commitment with Midcap Financial.

 

On June 3, 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary CardioCore Lab, LLC (“CardioCore”), acquired the assets of RadCore Lab, LLC (“RadCore”), an imaging core lab serving the biopharmaceutical and medical device research market.  This acquisition broadens the Company’s offerings and adds new oncology, musculoskeletal and neurological imaging capabilities, supported by a state-of-the-art, cloud-based analysis platform.  The Company paid $0.4 million in cash and 22,513 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.2 million at closing.  While this acquisition provides growth potential, the acquisition of RadCore did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Patient Services

 

Patient Services revenue includes revenue from MCOT™, wEvent, event, Holter, Pacemaker and INR monitoring services.  The Company receives a significant portion of its revenue from third party commercial insurance organizations and governmental entities.  It also receives reimbursement directly from patients through co-pays and self-pay arrangements.  Billings for services reimbursed by contracted third party payors, including Medicare, are recorded as revenue net of contractual allowances.  Adjustments to the estimated receipts, based on final settlement with third party payors, are recorded upon settlement.  If the Company does not have sufficient historical information regarding collectability from a given payor to support revenue recognition at the time of service, revenue is recognized when cash is received.  Unearned amounts are appropriately deferred until service is performed.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, revenue from Medicare as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue was 33.8% and 35.5%, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, revenue from Medicare as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue was 32.6% and 34.9%, respectively.

Research Services

 

Research Services revenue includes revenue for project management and core laboratory services.  The Company’s Research Services revenue is provided on a fee for services basis, and revenue is recognized as the related services are performed.  The Company also provides consulting services on a time and materials basis and this revenue is recognized as the services are performed.  Site support revenue, consisting of equipment rentals and sales along with related supplies and logistics management, is recognized at the time of sale or over the rental period.  Under a typical contract, customers pay a portion of the fee for these services upon contract execution as an upfront deposit, some of which is typically nonrefundable upon contract termination.  Unearned revenues are deferred, and then recognized as the services are performed.

 

For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the revenue is allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices or management’s best estimate of their selling prices, when vendor-specific or third-party evidence is unavailable.

 

The Company records reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including freight, as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Product

 

Product revenue includes revenue from the sale and repair of medical devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals.  The Company’s product revenue is recognized at the time of sale.

 

Reimbursement-Patient Services

 

The Company is dependent on reimbursement for its Patient Services from government and commercial insurance payors.  Medicare reimbursement rates for the Company’s MCOT™, wEvent, event, Holter, Pacemaker and INR monitoring services have been established nationally by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and fluctuate periodically based on the CMS rate table published annually.

 

In addition to government reimbursement through Medicare, the Company has successfully secured contracts with most national and regional commercial payors for its MCOT™, wEvent, event, Holter, Pacemaker and INR monitoring services.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable related to the Patient Services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts.  The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed.  The Company records allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of the receivable using historical data.  The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections, and the aging of receivables by payor.  Because of continuing changes in the healthcare industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible the Company’s estimates of collectability could change, which could have a material impact on operations and cash flows

 

Other receivables related to the Product and Research Services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, or when products or services become billable.  The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis, and considers several factors in its analysis including customer specific information and aging of the account.

 

The Company will write-off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote, the receivables have been fully reserved, and when the Company believes collection efforts have been fully exhausted and it does not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect.  The Company performs write-offs on a monthly basis.  The Company wrote off $5.1 million and $6.8 million of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.  There were no material write-offs in the Product and Research Services segments.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $1.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $1.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues.     Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $43.1 million compared to $31.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $11.2 million, or 35.3%.  Approximately $8.5 million of the increase resulted from the acquisitions of Mednet and BMS.  Excluding acquisitions, the remaining increase was due to increased volume in the Patient Services and Product segments which was partially offset by the previously announced price reduction from Medicare, as well as reduced rates from commercial contracts tied to Medicare.  In addition, our Research Services segment declined $1.2 million due to a strong third quarter last year as well as several studies that were completed earlier than expected.

 

Gross Profit.     Gross profit increased to $23.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $19.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase of $4.5 million, or 23.1%, was primarily due to the acquisitions of Mednet and BMS.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 54.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 60.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily related to the acquisitions, including the impact of a lower margin patient mix of approximately 410 basis points and the impact of integration related activities of approximately 110 basis points.  The benefit of our increased volume in the base business substantially offset the impact of the reduced rates.

 

General and Administrative Expense.     General and administrative expense was $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase of $2.0 million, or 22.6%, was due primarily to the additional expense associated with the Mednet and BMS acquisitions.  As a percent of total revenue, general and administrative expense was 25.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 28.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Sales and Marketing Expense.     Sales and marketing expense was $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase of $0.6 million, or 8.8%, was related to the inclusion of expenses associated with the Mednet and BMS acquisitions.  This increase was partially offset by a reduction of headcount related and meeting expenses in our base business.  As a percent of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was 16.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Bad Debt Expense.     Bad debt expense was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase of $0.5 million, or 30.9%, was due to increased revenue related primarily to the acquisitions of Mednet and BMS.  Bad debt expense in the base business was flat despite increased revenue due to improved collections of accounts receivable.  The bad debt expense recorded was based upon an evaluation of historical collection experience of accounts receivable by payor class, the age of the receivables, as well as specific payor circumstances.  As a percentage of total revenue, bad debt expense was 4.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 4.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Substantially all of the Company’s bad debt expense relates to the Patient Services segment.

 

Research and Development Expense.     Research and development expense was $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  As a percent of total revenue, research and development expense was 4.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 6.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes a detailed discussion of our liquidity, contractual obligations and commitments.  The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in that Form 10-K.

 

As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents of $12.2 million and net accounts receivable of $25.3 million.  The Company had working capital of $7.5 million as of September 30, 2014.

 

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Mednet entities, the Company entered into a promissory note in the principal amount of $9.8 million.  The Company used $8.6 million to repay the assumed debt for Mednet and $1.2 million to fund Mednet’s working capital needs.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s outstanding balance on the note was $9.5 million.

 

The Company used $8.0 million from its existing credit facility with Midcap Financial in connection with the purchase of the cardiac monitoring business of BMS on April 3, 2014.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s outstanding balance on the credit agreement was $8.0 million which provides the Company access to borrowings up to $15.0 million.

 

The Company had $4.6 million of cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The Company’s ongoing operations during the nine month period resulted in a loss of $8.1 million, which included $16.0 million of non-cash items related to bad debt, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expense and a tax benefit primarily related to the Mednet acquisition, as well as $6.4 million relating to the potential settlement cost with the Department of Justice.  These items were offset by $9.7 million of cash used primarily for working capital.

 

The Company used $5.7 million for the purchase of Mednet, $8.0 million for the purchase of BMS, $0.4 million for the purchase of Radcore and $10.0 million for capital purchases, primarily related to the investment in medical devices in the Patient and Research Services segments for use in its ongoing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

If the Company determines that it needs to raise additional capital, such capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.  If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted.  If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict the ability to operate its business.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

The Company’s cash balance as of September 30, 2014 was $12.2 million.  As the Company does not invest in any short-term or long-term securities, the Company believes there is no material exposure to interest rate risk.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION.

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business and like others in the industry, the Company receives requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority.  Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to assist the government in audits or investigations.  The Company reviews such requests and notices and take appropriate action.  The Company has been subject to certain requests for information and investigations in the past and could be subject to such requests for information and investigations in the future.

 

On August 25, 2011, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) issued by the U.S.  Department of Justice, Western District of Washington.  The CID states that it was issued as part of an investigation under the Federal False Claims Act and sought documents for the period January 1, 2007 through the date of the CID.  The CID indicates that the investigation concerns allegations that the Company may have used inappropriate diagnosis codes when submitting claims for payment to Medicare for its real-time, MCOT™ services.  During the second quarter of 2014, the Company reached an agreement in principle for a potential settlement; however, the pending settlement is subject to satisfactory negotiation and completion of a settlement agreement.  As result, the Company recorded a non-operating charge of $6.4 million in the first half of 2014.  This reserve was recorded to Interest and other loss, net in the consolidated statements of operations and is included in Accrued liabilities on the balance sheet.

 

The final outcome of any current or future litigation or governmental or internal investigations, including the potential settlement described above, cannot be accurately predicted, nor can the Company predict any resulting penalties, fines or other sanctions that may be imposed at the discretion of federal or state regulatory authorities.  The Company records accruals for such contingencies to the extent that it concludes it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.  It is possible that the outcome of such matters could potentially have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
