General
This is the first periodic report filed by Hanger, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) covering reporting periods after June 30, 2014. Readers should be aware that certain aspects of this Annual Report on Form 10-K differ from other annual reports that the Company has filed and that the Company intends to file in the future. Due to the passage of time, we have experienced changes to our business since the period covered by this annual report. As a result, certain information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is presented in a manner that reflects current information regarding our business and our Company rather than information that speaks only as to the state of the Company and the business as of December 31, 2014. We have identified in each case where the financial information presented is more current than December 31, 2014.
The Restatement
This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and selected financial data (Item 6. “Selected Financial Data”) for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, derived from unaudited financial statements, are restated (the “Restatement”).
We have not amended, and we do not intend to amend, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods prior to December 31, 2014 as the requisite financial information is included within this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We also do not intend to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Consolidated financial statements and related financial information for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The consolidated financial statements and related financial information contained in any of our reports filed prior to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 should no longer be relied upon.
Restatement Background
During the preparation of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2014, material misstatements were identified in our previously-issued consolidated financial statements and other financial data. Based on our review of certain of the Company’s financial records, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (“Audit Committee”), in consultation with management, concluded the previously reported consolidated financial statements and other financial data for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009; the interim periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014; and all interim periods for 2013 and 2012 should no longer be relied upon. These conclusions were previously disclosed in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 17, 2015, March 23, 2015 and June 9, 2015. The financial statements and other financial data contained within this Annual Report on Form 10-K restate previously issued financial information for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010; the interim periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014; and all interim periods of 2013 (collectively, the “Restatement Periods”). A summary of the primary misstatements and their impact on previously reported financial statements is included below with further details reported within Item 6. “Selected Financial Data” and Item 15. “Financial Statements, Note B - Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Restatement of Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Information
The restatement adjustments resulted in a cumulative reduction to our previously reported income before taxes of approximately $175.1 million through June 30, 2014. Approximately $140.6 million of this cumulative amount related to the periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2013. These adjustments resulted in reductions, net of income taxes, of previously reported retained earnings of $116.6 million and $91.3 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Item 15. “Financial Statements, Note B - Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K discloses the nature of the restatement items and adjustments, including income taxes, and presents the impact of the restatement items on the various financial statement captions for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. For information on the impact of the restatement on 2011 and 2010, reference is made to Item 6. “Selected Financial Data,” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table presents the primary misstatements and both their cumulative pre-tax impact to retained earnings and their impact on previously reported income before taxes. A description of the primary misstatements is presented below the table.

(a) Derived from audited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 15.
(b) Derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements.
· Inventory Valuation — The Company has identified misstatements in its historical inventory valuations. The misstatements related primarily to the valuation of work-in-process inventory (“WIP”), and included intentional misstatements that had the effect of overstating the number of items in WIP, the relative stages of completion of WIP and the overall valuation of WIP. The Company’s valuation of WIP requires the use of various estimates. Other misstatements included not reducing raw materials and WIP for vendor rebates and not ensuring inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Further, certain of the Restatement Periods were negatively impacted by other findings of inappropriate historical accounting practices as described in detail below under “The Audit Committee Investigation of Accounting Misstatements.”
· Allowance for Disallowed Revenue and Doubtful Accounts — The historical estimates of allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts did not sufficiently consider changes to the Company’s collection experience or differentiate between payor types. When preparing its estimates, the Company inappropriately relied upon aggregate averages of prior periods’ collections experience from varying numbers of older historical periods. The Company did not timely recognize adverse changes in its collection experience and did not consider likely write-offs of residual receivable balances, as well as consider differences in collection patterns between payor types and aging categories. Additionally, misstatements in the classification of bad debt expense have been corrected and are presented as disallowed revenue.
· Property, Plant and Equipment, Net — During the Restatement Periods, misstatements occurred in the Company’s accounting for property, plant and equipment. These misstatements included improper capitalization of certain labor associated with internal-use software and improper capitalization into property, plant and equipment costs that should have been expensed. The Company also found misstatements in the commencement of depreciation of its fixed assets and not recording disposals on a timely basis. Misstatements regarding leasehold improvement related items, which are recorded in property, plant and equipment in the financial statements, are included in the real property lease adjustments in this Explanatory Note.
· Real Property Leases — The Company did not properly apply lease accounting standards related to its real property leases with respect to the determination of the proper term of its leases, establishment of proper balances for deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances, determining depreciable lives of leasehold improvements, consideration of lessee involvement in the construction of leased assets (resulting in not properly identifying certain build-to-suit arrangements, which are accounted for as financing after evaluating sale-leaseback accounting) and proper evaluation of capital lease obligations. Additionally, the Company did not properly establish and account for asset retirement obligations.
· All Other Restatement Adjustments — The Company’s prior consolidated financial statements included other misstatements, including failures in the recognition of certain compensatory obligations, state tax obligations and escheat obligations. Additionally, the Company improperly deferred certain expenditures incurred in connection with the Company’s annual education fair.
Further information regarding the misstatements that existed in the Company’s prior consolidated financial statements is provided in Item 15. “Financial Statements, Note B - Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements.”
The Audit Committee Investigation of Accounting Misstatements
On November 12, 2015, the Company announced that the Audit Committee had retained counsel to conduct an external investigation of the circumstances surrounding certain of the accounting misstatements that led to the restatement (the “Investigation”).
As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2016, the Audit Committee concluded that, based on the evidence uncovered in the Investigation, it is more likely than not that certain former employees and officers, including in some instances the former Chief Financial Officer and former Chief Accounting Officer, engaged in inappropriate historical accounting practices relating to management estimates and certain accruals as discussed below. Based on the evidence uncovered in the Investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that the current Chief Executive Officer did not engage in these practices. The Audit Committee also concluded, based on the evidence uncovered in the Investigation, that certain former members of senior management set an inappropriate “tone at the top.” See “Internal Controls, Control Environment and Identified Material Weaknesses” below for more information.
Specifically, based on evidence uncovered in the Investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that it is more likely than not that in certain interim fiscal periods in 2011, management’s estimate of quarterly material costs was inappropriately reduced with the objective of attaining financial targets for those periods, and in particular, published analyst consensus earnings per share (“EPS”) targets. Further, in connection with the annual “book to physical” (“BTP”) valuation of WIP inventory as of October 31, 2012, management estimated a rate for overhead costs applicable to inventory. Based on the evidence uncovered in the Investigation, the Audit Committee has concluded that it is more likely than not that the assumptions underlying the estimate of the overhead rate were inappropriately revised in January 2013 with the objective of mitigating approximately $3.85 million in inventory shrinkage. Additionally, based on the evidence uncovered in the Investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that it is more likely than not that a former employee intentionally fabricated records used in the annual valuation of WIP inventory as of October 31, 2013. The use of these records enabled the Company to avoid approximately $2.5 million of inventory shrinkage in connection with the annual BTP valuation of inventory. These fabricated records were also provided to the Company’s internal and external auditors. Based on evidence uncovered in the Investigation, the Audit Committee also concluded that it is more likely than not that in connection with the October 31, 2013 WIP valuation of inventory, this former employee also used a report matching invoice and patient appointment scheduling data, which the employee had been cautioned was unreliable. This report was used to identify additional WIP inventory to be valued. This approach to identifying WIP inventory was inconsistent with the approach used in prior years and enabled the Company to inappropriately avoid additional inventory shrinkage in connection with the annual BTP valuation of inventory. For historical periods, including fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, former management disclosed that the accuracy of the Company’s inventory accounting, including the quarterly estimate of cost of materials, was supported by the immateriality of adjustments to inventory resulting from the annual BTP valuation of inventory.
The evidence uncovered in the Investigation raised questions relating to adjustments to certain management estimates late in the close process for a number of interim fiscal periods in 2011. In certain quarters, adjustments to particular estimates for material costs, inventory, accounts receivable allowances, contingency reserve accruals and incentive compensation accruals appear to have been motivated by the objective of attaining financial targets for those periods, and in particular, published analyst consensus EPS targets.
Based on the discovery of these matters, management performed additional reviews and analysis, re-performed certain accounting procedures, validated historical source accounting data and journal entries, reviewed its accounting policies and forensically reconstituted certain accounting ledgers for 2014 and prior periods. The Audit Committee and its legal counsel reported the findings of the Investigation to the Company’s Board of Directors and to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and have discussed the evidence uncovered and conclusions reached in the Investigation with the Staff of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC.
The Company reported in its Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 17, 2015, June 9, 2015, November 12, 2015, February 26, 2016 and June 7, 2016 information available as of those dates regarding material weaknesses that the Company identified through the Restatement process and the Investigation. Since then, additional material weaknesses have been identified. The following summary includes all identified material weaknesses.
Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company has identified the following material weaknesses as of December 31, 2014:
Control Environment
· Inappropriate Tone at the Top
Former senior management of the Company did not set an appropriate tone at the top. Specifically, the emphasis placed by former senior management on achieving or exceeding financial targets created an environment in which inappropriate accounting practices resulted in misstatements of several management estimates and accruals. By placing an inappropriate emphasis on achieving these targets, former senior management permitted a culture that did not appropriately emphasize compliance with the Company’s accounting policies and procedures and the adherence to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
· Inadequate Investment in Personnel and Managerial Oversight
We did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of knowledge, experience and training commensurate with the Company’s accounting and reporting requirements.
We also did not design and maintain effective controls with respect to establishing and assigning authority and responsibility over accounting operations, including the consolidation process, and the preparation and review of financial statements.
Risk Assessment
We did not design and maintain effective internal controls to identify, assess and address risks that significantly impact our financial statements or the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, our insufficient complement of personnel caused certain existing controls to become inadequate to identify and address the risk of material misstatement.
Information and Communication
We did not design and maintain effective controls to obtain, generate and communicate relevant and accurate information to support the function of internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we did not implement or maintain sufficient information systems in support of our accounting and financial reporting processes.
Monitoring
We did not design and maintain effective monitoring of compliance with established accounting policies, procedures and controls. This weakness included our failure to design and operate effective procedures and controls whose purpose is to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of the Company’s individual control activities.
The material weaknesses in our control environment, risk assessment, information and communication and monitoring controls contributed to the following additional material weaknesses.
Control Activities
· Inventory
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for inventory. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over:
· raw materials to ensure items are priced using the first-in, first-out method, resulting from the identification of inaccurate prices utilized in the valuation of our inventory quantities on hand based on physical observation;
· the accuracy of the stage of completion in valuing WIP, resulting from the identification of data input errors from our physical inventory observation used in the valuation of our WIP;
· certain key assumptions used in the valuation of WIP, resulting from the identification of inaccurate or imprecise data used in the development of these assumptions; and
· the existence, completeness, accuracy, valuation and presentation and disclosure of raw materials and WIP.
· Accounting for Leases
We did not design and maintain effective controls over our accounting for leases. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence, presentation and disclosure of our real property leases.
· Revenue
We did not design and maintain effective controls over our accounting for revenue. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, occurrence and valuation of revenue.
· Accounts Receivable and Allowances
We did not design and maintain effective controls over accounts receivable and allowances. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence and valuation of amounts recorded to accounts receivable, including allowances.
· Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
We did not design and maintain effective controls over property, plant and equipment, including depreciation. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, presentation and disclosure over property, plant and equipment including, capitalized software and related depreciation expense.
· Accounts Payable and Accruals
We did not design and maintain effective controls over accounts payable and accruals. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence and rights and obligations related to purchased goods and services and liabilities for other items, accurately reflecting the receipt of such goods or services and the related liability in the proper period.
· Account Reconciliations
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the preparation, review and approval of account reconciliations. Specifically, we did not design and maintain controls to ensure that account reconciliations were completed timely and accurately and that reconciling items were properly resolved on a timely basis.
· Journal Entries
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the preparation and recording of journal entries. Specifically, certain recurring and non-recurring journal entries were not consistently and adequately reviewed and approved. Additionally, we did not design and maintain user access or other controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties as it relates to the preparation and review of journal entries.
· Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation and presentation and disclosure related to our accounting for business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets.
· Share-based Compensation
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, valuation and presentation and disclosure of our accounting for share-based compensation.
· Income Taxes
We did not design and maintain effective controls over our accounting for income taxes. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, existence, accuracy and presentation of our accounting for income taxes, including the income tax provision and related assets and liabilities.
· Information Technology General Controls
We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology (“IT”) systems, which could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (i) user access controls to appropriately segregate duties and adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications and data to the appropriate Company personnel, (ii) effective controls to monitor, document and approve data changes, and (iii) effective controls related to monitoring of critical jobs.
Remedial Measures
Since the end of 2013, under the oversight of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors, we have been, and continue to be, actively engaged in the design and implementation of remedial measures to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to improving our internal control processes and resolving our control deficiencies, including the material weaknesses we have identified and will continue to review our effectiveness in accomplishing this critical objective.
To date, we have taken and continue to take the actions described in the section titled “Remediation Plans” included in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K to address the identified material weaknesses. Our remediation efforts are ongoing. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may implement additional measures or modify the identified remedial actions, as considered appropriate, to remediate our material weaknesses.
Despite the substantial time and resources we have directed at remediation efforts, we are unable to estimate at this time when these remediation efforts will be completed. Until the remediation efforts, including any additional remediation efforts that our management identifies as necessary, are completed, the material weaknesses described above will continue to exist.
We intend to provide additional information regarding our remediation efforts with respect to the material weaknesses in future filings with the SEC.
Business Overview
General
The Company is a leading national provider of products and services that assist in enhancing or restoring the physical capabilities of patients with disabilities or injuries. Built on the legacy of James Edward Hanger, the first amputee of the American Civil War, Hanger and its predecessor companies have provided orthotic and prosthetic (“O&P”) services for over 150 years. We provide O&P services, distribute O&P devices and components, manage O&P networks and provide therapeutic solutions to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute and clinic settings. We operate through two segments—Patient Care and Products & Services.
Our Patient Care segment is primarily comprised of Hanger Clinic, which specializes in the design, fabrication and delivery of custom O&P devices through 706 patient care clinics and 115 satellite locations in 45 states and the District of Columbia, as of December 2016. We also provide payor network contracting services to other O&P providers through this segment.
Our Products & Services segment is comprised of our distribution and rehabilitative solutions businesses. As a leading provider of O&P products in the United States, we coordinate through our distribution business the procurement and distribution of a broad catalog of O&P parts, componentry and devices to independent O&P providers nationwide. To facilitate speed and convenience, we deliver these products through one of our five distribution facilities that are located in Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas. The other business in our Product & Services segment is our rehabilitative solutions business, which develops specialized rehabilitation technologies and provides evidence-based clinical programs for post-acute rehabilitation to patients at approximately 4,300 skilled nursing, long-term care and other sub-acute rehabilitation facilities throughout the United States.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, our net revenues were $1.01 billion, $975.8 million and $923.5 million, respectively. We recorded (loss) income from continuing operations of $(3.0) million, $45.9 million and $48.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The following table summarizes the percentage of net revenues derived from each of our two operating segments:

Industry Overview
We estimate that approximately $4.0 billion is spent in the United States each year for prescription-based O&P products and services through O&P clinics. Orthotic devices, or “orthoses” are externally applied devices used to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal system. These devices typically are provided to patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders, such as ailments of the back, extremities or joints; injuries from sports; or conditions such as cerebral palsy, scoliosis and stroke. Prosthetic devices, or “prostheses” are artificial devices that replace a missing limb or portion of a limb. These devices are normally provided to patients with amputated or congenitally absent limbs to replace the function and appearance of a limb so that patients can resume activities of daily living and work. The most prevalent causes for amputations are from complications due to diabetes, trauma associated with accidents or physical injury, tumors and infection.
The industry derives its primary revenue from the evaluation, fabrication and fitting of custom O&P devices to serve patients needing both new and replacement devices. Additionally, O&P clinics typically provide patients with other non-custom orthotic products, diabetic shoes and inserts and support patients through the repair and adjustment of their devices.
Through our 706 patient care clinics and 115 satellite clinics, we believe our Patient Care segment currently serves approximately 20% of the O&P clinic market by providing a comprehensive portfolio of orthotic, prosthetic and post-operative solutions to patients in the acute, post-acute and clinic settings.
We understand that the next largest provider of O&P services in the United States is the Veterans Administration (the “VA”), which operates 79 O&P clinics on behalf of its covered veteran patients. In addition to serving veterans through their own facilities, in certain markets the VA is also a client of Hanger Clinic. Approximately 7% of our Hanger Clinic revenue is derived from services provided to veteran patients through contracts with the VA.
The balance of the O&P patient care market is highly fragmented and is typically characterized by regional and local independent O&P businesses. We estimate that our top ten competitors have an average of approximately 25 clinics each, with the smallest having 16 and the largest having 36 clinics. The remainder of the market is served by individual practitioners and smaller regional or market-based firms with approximately 10 or fewer clinics. Based on this, we do not believe that any single competitor accounts for more than 2% of the nation’s total estimated O&P clinic revenues and that our top ten competitors have an average of less than 1% of the market each.
We anticipate that the demand for O&P services will continue to grow as the nation’s population increases, and as a result of several trends, including the aging of the U.S. population, there will be an increase in the prevalence of disease associated disability and the demand for new and advanced devices. We believe the typical replacement time for prosthetic devices is three to five years, while the typical replacement time for orthotic devices varies, depending on the device.
We estimate that approximately $1.6 billion is spent in the United States each year by providers of O&P patient care services for the O&P products, components, devices and supplies used in their businesses. Our Products & Services segment distributes O&P products, components, devices and supplies to independent providers of O&P services and to our own patient care clinics. We estimate that our distribution sales account for approximately 7% of the market for O&P products, components, devices and supplies (excluding sales to the Company’s Patient Care segment).
We estimate the market for rehabilitation technologies, integrated clinical programs and therapist training in skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) to be approximately $150 million annually. We currently provide these products and services to approximately 30% of the estimated 15,000 SNFs located in the U.S. We estimate the market for rehabilitation technologies, clinical programs and training within the broader post-acute rehabilitation markets to be approximately $400 million annually. We do not currently provide a meaningful amount of products and services to this broader market.
Business Strategy
Our goal is to be the provider of choice for patients, referring physicians and customers seeking products and services that enhance human physical capabilities. Our strategy is to pursue the creation of an integrated rehabilitative solutions model that will have a strong focus in custom O&P and immediately adjacent markets to provide our patients and customers with a spectrum of services that address their individual needs. To foster growth and gain further market share, we intend to focus on initiatives that will differentiate Hanger from our competitors.
Government led health care reform is driving significant changes to our business environment, with focus on lowering health care costs while improving patient outcomes and satisfaction. As a result, our strategy is focused on enhancing the quality of care to elevate patient satisfaction, investing in processes and technologies to measure and report on patient outcomes and satisfaction and further increasing our profile with referring health care providers and payors. In addition, we are committed to reducing the cost of this care by undertaking several initiatives that include establishing device standards that provide the highest function, durability and comfort at the lowest cost, reconfiguring our supply chain and fabrication processes, streamlining internal administrative processes and reducing back-office functions performed within patient care clinic locations.
Business Description
Patient Care
Our Patient Care segment is currently primarily comprised of Hanger Clinic, which specializes in the patient evaluation, fabrication, fitting and delivery of O&P devices through our nationwide patient care clinic locations. We are a leading nationwide owner and operator of O&P patient care clinics, providing O&P products and services through 706 patient care clinics and 115 satellite locations in 45 states and the District of Columbia as of December 2016. To provide these medical products and services, we employ approximately 1,500 clinical prosthetists, orthotists and pedorthists, which we refer to as clinicians. Through this segment, we additionally provide network contracting services to independent providers of O&P through our “Linkia” business.
In 2014 and prior years, to complement and enhance our O&P business, we additionally provided certain non-custom orthotics directly to hospital systems and other provider settings through our CARES patient care services unit (“CARES”) and Dosteon product group (“Dosteon”). We completed the exit of our Dosteon businesses with the sale of the businesses in the first half of 2015. The operating results and cash flows of Dosteon have been presented separately as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. We completed the exit of our CARES business through the closure of these operations during 2015.
Patients are typically referred to Hanger Clinic by an attending physician who determines a patient’s treatment and writes a prescription. Our clinicians then consult with both the referring physician and the patient with a view toward assisting in the design of an orthotic or prosthetic device to meet the patient’s needs. When providing prostheses, we design, fabricate, fit and maintain custom-made artificial limbs for patients who are without limbs as a result of traumatic injuries, vascular diseases, diabetes, cancer or congenital disorders. O&P devices are increasingly technologically advanced and custom designed to add functionality and comfort to patients’ lives, shorten the rehabilitation process and lower the cost of rehabilitation. When providing custom orthoses, we design,
fabricate, fit and maintain a wide range of custom-made braces and other devices (such as spinal, knee and sports medicine braces) that provide external support to patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders, such as ailments of the back, extremities or joints and injuries from sports or other activities. We also provide and fit non-custom, including “off the shelf” orthoses to patients with similar, though typically less severe, disorders, ailments and injuries.
Based on the prescription written by a referring physician, our clinicians examine and evaluate the patient and either design a custom device or, in the case of certain orthotic needs, utilize a non-custom device, including in appropriate circumstances an “off the shelf” device, to address the patient’s needs. When fabricating a device, our clinicians ascertain the specific requirements, componentry and measurements necessary for the construction of the device. Custom devices are constructed using componentry provided by a variety of third party manufacturers who specialize in O&P, coupled with sockets and other elements that are fabricated by the Company’s clinicians and technicians, to meet the individual patient’s physical and ambulatory needs. The Company’s clinicians and technicians typically utilize castings, electronic scans and other techniques to fabricate items that are specialized for the patient. After fabricating the device, a fitting process is undertaken and adjustments are made to ensure the achievement of proper alignment, fit and patient comfort. The fitting process often involves several stages to successfully achieve desired functional and cosmetic results.
Given the differing physical weight and size characteristics, location of injury or amputation, capability for physical activity and mobility, cosmetic and other needs of each individual patient, each fabricated prosthesis and orthosis is customized for each particular patient. These custom devices are usually fabricated at one of our regional or national fabrication facilities.
Substantially all of our approximately 1,500 clinicians employed through Hanger Clinic are certified by either the American Board for Certification (“ABC”) or the Board of Certification of Orthotists and Prosthetists, which are the two boards that certify O&P clinicians. To facilitate timely service to our patients, we also employ technicians, fitters and other ancillary providers to assist its clinicians in the performance of their duties.
We have earned a reputation within the O&P industry for the development and use of innovative technology in our products, which has increased patient comfort and capability and can significantly enhance the rehabilitation process. Frequently, our proprietary Insignia scanning system is used in the fabrication process to measure and design devices. The Insignia system scans the patient and produces an accurate computer generated image, resulting in a faster turnaround for the patient’s device and a more professional overall experience.
Our patient care clinics are typically managed by one of our clinicians. Our patient care clinics also employ technical personnel who assist in the provision of services to patients and who fabricate various O&P devices, as well as office administrators who schedule patient visits, obtain approvals from payors and bill and collect for services rendered. In recent years, we have established a centralized revenue cycle management organization that assists our clinics in pre-authorization, patient eligibility, denial management, collections, payor audit coordination and other accounts receivable processes.
The principal reimbursement sources for our services are:
· Commercial private payors and other non-governmental organizations, which consist of individuals, rehabilitation providers, commercial insurance companies, Health Management Organizations (“HMOs”), Preferred Provider Organizations (“PPOs”), hospitals, vocational rehabilitation centers, workers’ compensation programs, third party administrators and similar sources;
· Medicare, a federally funded health insurance program providing health insurance coverage for persons aged 65 or older and certain disabled persons, which provides reimbursement for O&P products and services based on prices set forth in published fee schedules with ten regional pricing areas for prosthetics and orthotics and by state for Durable Medical Equipment (“DME”);
· Medicaid, a health insurance program jointly funded by federal and state governments providing health insurance coverage for certain persons based upon financial need, regardless of age, which may supplement Medicare benefits for financially needy persons aged 65 or older; and
· U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
We typically enter into contracts with third party payors that allow us to perform O&P services for a referred patient and to be paid under the contract with the third party payor. These contracts usually have a stated term of one to three years. These contracts generally may be terminated without cause by either party on 60 to 90 days’ notice or on 30 days’ notice if we have not complied with certain licensing, certification, program standards, Medicare or Medicaid requirements or other regulatory requirements. Reimbursement for services is typically based on a fee schedule negotiated with the third party payor that reflects various factors, including market conditions, geographic area and number of persons covered. Many of our commercial contracts are indexed to the commensurate Medicare fee schedule that relates to the products or services being provided.
Government reimbursement, comprised of Medicare, Medicaid and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately, 50.9%, 50.9% and 49.1% of our cash collections in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These payors set maximum reimbursement levels for O&P services and products. Medicare prices are adjusted each year based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) unless Congress acts to change or eliminate the adjustment. The CPI-U is adjusted further by an efficiency factor (the “Productivity Adjustment” or the “Multi-Factor Productivity Adjustment”) in order to determine the final rate adjustment each year. The Medicare price adjustments for 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were (0.4%), 1.5%, 1.0%, 0.8% and 2.4%, respectively. There can be no assurance that future adjustments will not reduce reimbursements for O&P services and products from these sources.
Hanger, and the O&P industry in general, are subject to various Medicare compliance audits, including Recovery Audit Contractor (“RAC”) audits, Comprehensive Error Rate Testing or (“CERT”) audits, Medicare Administrative Contractor (“MAC”) audits and Zone Program Integrity Contractor (“ZPIC”) audits. MAC audits are generally pre-payment audits, while RAC, CERT and ZPIC audits are generally post-payment audits. Adverse post-payment audit determinations generally require Hanger to reimburse Medicare for payments previously made, while adverse pre-payment audit determinations generally result in the denial of payment. In either case, we can request a redetermination or appeal, if we believe the adverse determination is unwarranted, which can take an extensive period of time to resolve, currently up to five years.
Products & Services
Our Products & Services segment was established in the first quarter of 2013 through the combination of our previously reported Distribution segment and Therapeutic Solutions segment. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Prosthetic Supply, Inc., we distribute O&P components both to independent customers and to our own clinics in the Patient Care segment. Southern Prosthetic Supply, Inc. purchases, warehouses and distributes over 26,000 individual products from more than 375 different manufacturers. By locating warehousing and distribution facilities in Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas, we are able to deliver products to the vast majority of our distribution customers in the United States within two business days. Through its SureFit subsidiary, Southern Prosthetic Supply, Inc. also manufactures and sells therapeutic footwear for diabetic patients in the podiatric market, and through its National Labs subsidiary it is a fabricator of O&P devices both for our patient care clinics and those of our competitors.
Our distribution business enables us to:
· centralize our purchasing and thus lower our material costs by negotiating purchasing discounts from manufacturers;
· better manage our patient care clinic inventory levels and improve inventory turns;
· improve inventory quality control;
· encourage our patient care clinics to use the most clinically appropriate products; and
· coordinate new product development efforts with key vendors.
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Accelerated Care Plus Corp. (“ACP”), our rehabilitative solutions business is a leading provider of rehabilitation technologies and integrated clinical programs to rehabilitation providers. Our unique value proposition is to provide our customers with a full-service “total solutions” approach encompassing proven medical technology, evidence based clinical programs, and ongoing therapist education and training. Our services support increasingly advanced treatment options for a broader patient population and more medically complex conditions. We serve more than 4,300 skilled nursing, long-term care and other sub-acute rehabilitation facilities nationwide.
Competition
The O&P services industry is highly fragmented, consisting mainly of smaller regional and local firms. We estimate that our top ten competitors have an average of approximately 25 clinics each, with the smallest having 16 clinics each and the largest having 36 clinics each. The balance of the market is served by individual practitioners and smaller regional or market-based firms with approximately 10 or fewer clinics. Based on this, we do not believe that any single competitor accounts for more than 2% of the nation’s total estimated O&P clinic revenues and that our top ten competitors have an average of less than 1% of the market each.
The business of providing O&P patient care services is highly competitive in the markets in which we operate. In the prosthetic business, we compete with numerous small independent O&P providers for referrals from physicians, therapists, employers, HMOs, PPOs, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, out-patient clinics and insurance companies on both a local and regional basis. In the orthotic business, we compete with other patient care service providers, including device manufacturers that have independent sales forces, on the basis of quality and timeliness of patient care, location of patient care clinics and pricing for services.
Although we serve a significant portion of the O&P patient care market, referral decisions made by surgeons, physicians and other medical providers are generally made on a local basis, based on their individual evaluation of the relative quality of care provided by our Company and its local market competitors. Therefore, our national scale may not provide a competitive advantage in any particular market in which we operate.
We also compete with independent O&P providers for the retention and recruitment of qualified O&P clinicians. In some markets, the demand for clinicians exceeds the supply of qualified personnel.
Our Products & Services segment competes with other distributors, manufacturers who sell their products directly and providers of equipment and services on a regional and national basis that have similar sales forces and products. Some of our distributor competitors are also dedicated to the O&P industry, but many others are large medical product distributors who also distribute O&P products, particularly orthotic products.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that the combination of the following competitive strengths will help us to grow our businesses by increasing our net revenues, net income and market share:
· Leading market position both in the O&P market place and in the post-acute rehabilitation markets;
· National scale of operations, which better enables us to:
· establish our brand name and generate economies of scale;
· identify and implement best practices throughout the Company;
· collect, aggregate and publish our statistically significant clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction data and metrics;
· offer a single network solution to national and regional managed care entities;
· utilize shared fabrication facilities;
· identify, test and deploy emerging technology; and
· increase our influence on, and input into, regulatory trends;
· Distribution of, and purchasing power for, O&P components and finished O&P products, which enables us to:
· negotiate greater purchasing discounts from manufacturers and freight providers;
· reduce patient care clinic inventory levels and improve inventory turns through centralized purchasing control;
· access prefabricated and finished O&P products;
· promote the usage by our patient care clinics of clinically appropriate products that also enhance our profit margins; and
· expand the non-Company client base of the distribution business in our Products & Services segment;
· Proven ability to rapidly incorporate technological advances in the fitting and fabrication of O&P devices;
· History of integrating small and medium sized O&P business acquisitions, including 139 O&P businesses since 1997, representing over 365 patient care clinics;
· Highly trained clinicians, whom we provide with the highest level of continuing education and training through programs designed to inform them of the latest technological developments in the O&P industry;
· Experienced and committed management team; and
· Beneficial government relations efforts which enables us to educate legislators on the medical benefits and cost effectiveness of O&P services.
Suppliers
We purchase prefabricated O&P devices, components and materials from hundreds of suppliers across the country, which are utilized by our clinicians and technicians in the fabrication of O&P products. These devices, components and materials are used in the products we offer in our patient care clinics throughout the United States. Our Products & Services segment purchases, warehouses and distributes over 26,000 individual products from more than 375 different manufacturers. As of December 31, 2014, only four of our third party suppliers accounted for more than 5% of our total annual purchases.
Sales and Marketing
In our Patient Care segment, primarily through their interaction with and provision of prosthetic or orthotic services to the patients of referring surgeons, physicians and other providers, our individual clinicians in local patient care clinics historically have conducted our sales and marketing efforts. Due primarily to the fragmented nature of the O&P industry, the success of a particular patient care clinic has been largely a function of its local reputation for quality of care, responsiveness and length of service in the local communities.
To augment the efforts of the business segment personnel, we have developed a centralized sales and marketing department, whose efforts target the following:
· Marketing and Public Relations . Our objective is to increase the visibility of the “Hanger” name by building relationships with major referral sources through activities such as co-branding of products and co-sponsorship of sporting events. We also continue to explore creating alliances with certain vendors to market products and services on a nationwide basis.
· Business Development . We have dedicated personnel in most of our operating regions who are responsible for arranging seminars, clinics and forums to educate and consult with patients and to increase the local community’s awareness of the “Hanger” name. These business development managers also meet with local referral and contract sources to help our clinicians develop new relationships in their markets.
· Insurance Contracts . Our specialty health care company, Linkia, works with national insurance companies to help manage their O&P networks. Linkia is a network management organization dedicated solely to the O&P industry to improve the interface between payors and O&P providers by simplifying network management and administration, in-depth industry expertise and scalability to payers.
Marketing of our services is conducted on a national basis through a dedicated sales force, print and e-commerce catalogs and exhibits at industry and medical meetings and conventions. We use directed marketing to segments of the health care industry, such as orthopedic surgeons, physical and occupational therapists, patient care managers and podiatrists, by providing specialized catalogs focused on their medical specialty.
In our Products & Services segment, we employ dedicated sales professionals that generally are responsible for a geographic region or specific product line.
Acquisition Strategy
Our strategy is to achieve long-term growth through disciplined diversification of our revenue streams including geographic expansion or the broadening of our continuum of care through acquisitions. One of the primary drivers in executing our acquisition strategy is expanding our ability to serve new patients in new geographic markets.
Once an acquisition is consummated, we integrate and, where appropriate, centralize certain key functions including IT, marketing, sales, finance and administration to ensure that we can optimize cross-selling opportunities and realize cost efficiencies.
In some of our historical acquisitions, in addition to cash paid at closing, the purchase price has included unsecured subordinated promissory notes (“Seller Notes”) and contingent consideration terms (“earn-outs”) associated with the achievement of certain designated collection targets for the acquired business. Earn-outs can be used to compromise between our valuation and seller’s expectations regarding purchase price, while providing protection from our overpayment if historical collections are not an accurate indicator of post-closing financial performance of the acquired business.
Our evaluation of the acquired business is based on various factors, including specialized know-how, reputation, geographic coverage, competitive position and service and product offerings, as well as our experience and judgment. Our acquisition strategy is focused on acquiring the expertise of an assembled workforce to continue to build upon the core capabilities of our strategic business platforms and agency brands through the expansion of our service area or service capabilities to better serve our clients.
Acquisition Activity
In 2014, we acquired twelve O&P businesses with approximately $50.9 million in annualized revenue, operating a total of 37 patient care clinics located in eleven states. We also acquired one distribution center. The aggregate purchase price for these businesses was approximately $52.7 million, including approximately $38.1 million in cash and approximately $14.0 million in Seller Notes and $0.6 million of working capital adjustments and contingent consideration. We allocated the purchase price for 2014 acquisitions to the individual net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of purchase price over the aggregate fair values of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. We incurred approximately $1.2 million of legal costs and other acquisition related expenses in connection with our 2014 acquisitions. Acquisition related expenses are included within “General and administrative expenses” in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income in the period incurred.
In 2013, we acquired nine O&P companies with approximately $19.6 million in annualized revenue, operating a total of 22 patient care clinics located in eight states and the District of Columbia. The aggregate purchase price for these O&P businesses was approximately $13.3 million, including approximately $10.0 million in net cash and approximately $2.3 million in Seller Notes and $1.0 million of contingent consideration and working capital adjustments. We allocated the purchase price for 2013 acquisitions to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of purchase price over the aggregate fair values of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. We incurred approximately $0.9 million of legal costs and other related acquisition expenses relating to our 2013 acquisitions. Acquisition related expenses are included within “General and administrative expenses” in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income in the period incurred.
Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Company acquired three O&P companies for an aggregate purchase price of $15.4 million. As of February 17, 2015, the Company temporarily suspended acquisitions to focus its attention on the restatement of previously issued consolidated financial statements.
Government Regulation
The operations of our business are subject to a variety of federal, state and local governmental regulations. We make every effort to comply with all applicable regulations through compliance programs, policies and procedures, manuals and personnel training. Despite these efforts, we cannot guarantee that we will be in absolute compliance with all regulations at all times. Failure to comply with applicable governmental regulations may result in significant penalties, including exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Fraud and Abuse . Violations of fraud and abuse laws are punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some instances, False Claims Act liability (discussed below), imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal health care programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health programs and the Department of Defense’s TRICARE program, formerly known as CHAMPUS. These laws, which include but are not limited to federal and state anti-kickback laws, false claims laws, physician self-referral laws and federal criminal health care fraud laws, are discussed in further detail below. We believe our billing practices, operations and compensation and financial arrangements with referral sources and others materially comply with applicable federal and state requirements. However, we cannot assure that such requirements will always be interpreted by a governmental authority in a manner consistent with our interpretation and application. The failure to comply, even if inadvertent, with any of these requirements could require us to alter our operations with and/or refund payments to the government. Such refunds could be significant and could also lead to the imposition of significant penalties. Even if we successfully defend against any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, we would likely be forced to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. Any of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Anti-kickback Laws . Our operations are subject to federal and state anti-kickback laws. The federal Anti-kickback Statute (Section 1128B(b) of the Social Security Act) prohibits persons or entities from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or paying any remuneration in any form (including any kickback, bribe or rebate) in return for, or to induce, the referral of persons eligible for benefits under a federal health care program (including Medicare, Medicaid, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health programs and TRICARE), or the ordering, purchasing, leasing, or arranging for, or the recommendation of purchasing, leasing or ordering of, items or services that may be paid for, in whole or in part, by a federal health care program. Courts have held that the statute may be violated when even one purpose (as opposed to a primary or sole purpose) of the remuneration is to induce referrals or other business.
Recognizing that the Anti-kickback Statute is broad and may technically prohibit beneficial commercial arrangements, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services has developed regulations addressing certain business arrangements that will offer protection from scrutiny under the Anti-kickback Statute. These “Safe Harbors” describe activities which may be protected from prosecution under the Anti-kickback Statute, provided that they meet all of the requirements of the applicable Safe Harbor regulation. For example, the Safe Harbors cover activities such as offering discounts to health care providers and contracting with physicians or other individuals or entities that have the potential to refer business to us that would ultimately be billed to a federal health care program, so long as the discount is properly disclosed and appropriately reflected in any claims or charges.
Failure to qualify for Safe Harbor protection does not automatically mean that an arrangement is illegal. Rather, the facts and circumstances of the arrangement must be analyzed to determine whether there is improper intent to pay or receive remuneration in return for referrals. Conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy one of the Safe Harbors may result in increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities. In addition, some states have anti-kickback laws that vary in scope and may apply regardless of whether a federal health care program is involved.
Our operations and business arrangements include, for example, discount programs or other financial arrangements with individuals and entities, such as lease arrangements with hospitals and certain participation agreements. Therefore, our operations and business arrangements are required to comply with the anti-kickback laws. Although our business arrangements and operations may not always satisfy all the criteria of a Safe Harbor, we believe that our operations are in material compliance with federal and state anti-kickback statutes. Nonetheless, we cannot ensure that the government’s interpretation of a Safe Harbor provision will always be consistent with our own, and our arrangements may be subject to scrutiny under anti-kickback laws. Noncompliance with such laws can result in a number of enforcement actions, including the imposition of civil monetary penalties and exclusion from federal health care programs.
Medical Device Regulation . We distribute products that are subject to regulation as medical devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) and accompanying regulations. With the exception of two products which have been cleared for marketing as prescription medical devices under section 510(k) of the FDCA, we believe that the products we distribute, including O&P medical devices, accessories and components, are not Class III devices and thus are exempt from the FDA’s regulations for pre-market clearance or approval requirements and from most requirements relating to quality system regulation (except for certain record keeping and complaint handling requirements). We are required to adhere to regulations for medical devices regarding adverse event reporting, establishment registration and product listing, and we are subject to inspection by the FDA for compliance with all applicable requirements. Labeling and promotional materials also are subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain circumstances, by the Federal Trade Commission. Our medical device operations are subject to inspection by the FDA for compliance with applicable FDA requirements, and the FDA has in the past raised compliance concerns in connection with these investigations. We have addressed these concerns and believe we are in compliance with applicable FDA requirements, but we cannot assure that we will be found to be in compliance at all times. Non-compliance could result in a variety of civil and/or criminal enforcement actions, including issuance of a Warning Letter, seizure, examination and inspection of our products and a civil injunction or criminal prosecution, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Physician Self-Referral Laws . We are also subject to federal and state physician self-referral laws. With certain exceptions, the federal Medicare physician self-referral law (the “Stark Law”) (Section 1877 of the Social Security Act) prohibits a physician from referring Medicare beneficiaries to an entity for “designated health services”—including DME and supplies, and prosthetic and orthotic devices and supplies—if the physician or the physician’s immediate family member has a financial relationship with the entity. A financial relationship includes both ownership or investment interests and compensation arrangements. An entity that furnishes designated health services pursuant to a prohibited referral may not present or cause to be presented a claim or bill for such designated health services. Penalties for violating the Stark Law include denial of payment for the service, an obligation to refund any payments received, civil monetary penalties, potential False Claims Act litigation and the possibility of being excluded from the Medicare or Medicaid programs.
Despite the general prohibition on such physician financial relationships, the Stark Law does provide a number of exceptions from liability. For example, with respect to ownership/investment interests, there is an exception under the Stark Law for referrals made to a publicly traded entity in which the physician or the physician’s immediate family member has an investment interest if the entity’s shares are generally available to the public at the time of the designated health service referral, and are traded on certain exchanges, including among others the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) as well as over-the-counter quotation systems including the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC”) and/or the investment entity had shareholders’ equity exceeding $75.0 million for its most recent fiscal year or as an average during the three previous fiscal years. We meet these tests and, therefore, believe that referrals from physicians who have ownership interests in our stock, or whose immediate family members have ownership interests in our stock, should not result in liability under the Stark Law.
With respect to compensation arrangements, there are exceptions under the Stark Law that permit physicians to maintain certain business arrangements, such as personal service contracts and equipment or space leases, with health care entities to which they refer patients for designated health services. All of the elements of a Stark Law exception must be met in order for the exception to apply. Further, unlike the Anti-kickback Statute, under the Stark Law liability can result without specific intent to induce referrals. We believe that our compensation arrangements with physicians comply with the Stark Law, either because the physician’s relationship fits fully within a Stark Law exception or because the physician does not generate prohibited referrals. If, however, we receive a prohibited referral, our submission of a bill for services rendered pursuant to such a referral could subject us to sanctions under the Stark Law and applicable state self-referral laws, including false claims liability, potential exclusion and imposition of civil monetary penalties. State self-referral laws may extend the prohibitions of the Stark Law to Medicaid beneficiaries, and there are some indications that the federal government may similarly expand the reach of the law.
False Claims Laws . We are also subject to federal and state laws prohibiting individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment to third party payors (including Medicare and Medicaid) that are false or fraudulent, are for items or services not provided as claimed, or otherwise contain misleading information. Each of our patient care clinics is responsible for the preparation and submission of reimbursement claims to third party payors for items and services furnished to patients. In addition, our personnel may, in some instances, provide advice on billing and reimbursement to purchasers of our products. Also, prosecutors and so-called “qui tam” relators (whistleblowers) may claim that a regulatory violation or wrongfully-retained overpayment may be the basis of False Claims Act litigation. Successful relators can receive a share of the recovery in a False Claims Act case ranging from 15% to 30%, depending on whether the government “intervenes” in the case. Penalties in a False Claims Act case may include double or triple damages plus penalties ranging from $10,781 to $21,563 per claim. These penalties are nearly double what they were in prior years. While we endeavor to assure that our billing practices comply with applicable laws, if claims submitted to payors are deemed to be false, fraudulent or for items or services not provided as claimed, we may face liability for presenting or causing to be presented such claims.
Certification and Licensure . Our clinicians and/or certain operating units may be subject to certification or licensure requirements under the laws of some states. Most states do not require separate licensure for clinicians. However, several states currently require clinicians to be certified by an organization such as the ABC. The ABC conducts a certification program for clinicians and an accreditation program for patient care clinics. The minimum requirements for new certified clinicians are a college degree, completion of an accredited master’s degree program, one to four years of residency at a patient care clinic under the supervision of a certified clinician and successful completion of certain examinations. Minimum requirements for an accredited patient care clinic include the presence of a certified clinician and specific plant and equipment requirements.
While we endeavor to comply with all state licensure requirements, we cannot assure that we will be in compliance at all times with these requirements, or how they may be interpreted or re-interpreted by the various state and local agencies. Failure to comply with state licensure requirements could result in suspension or termination of licensure, civil penalties, termination of our Medicare and Medicaid agreements, and repayment of amounts received from Medicare and Medicaid for services and supplies furnished by an unlicensed individual or entity.
HIPAA Violations . The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) provides criminal penalties for, among other offenses: health care fraud; theft or embezzlement with respect to a health care benefit program; false statements in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services; and obstruction of criminal investigation of health care offenses. Unlike other federal laws, these offenses are not limited to federal health care programs.
In addition, HIPAA authorizes the imposition of civil monetary penalties where a person offers or pays remuneration to any individual eligible for benefits under a federal health care program that such person knows or should know is likely to influence the individual to order or receive covered items or services from a particular provider, clinician or supplier. Excluded from the definition of “remuneration” are incentives given to individuals to promote the delivery of preventive care (excluding cash or cash equivalents), incentives of nominal value and certain differentials in or waivers of coinsurance and deductible amounts.
These laws may apply to certain of our operations. As noted above, we have established various types of discount programs and other financial arrangements with individuals and entities. We also bill third party payors and other entities for items and services provided at our patient care clinics. While we endeavor to ensure that our discount programs and other financial arrangements and billing practices comply with applicable laws, such programs, arrangements and billing practices could be subject to scrutiny and challenge under HIPAA.
Confidentiality and Privacy Laws . The Administrative Simplification Provisions of HIPAA, and their implementing regulations, set forth privacy standards and implementation specifications concerning the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information (referred to as “protected health information”) by health plans, health care clearinghouses and health care providers that transmit health information electronically in connection with certain standard transactions (“Covered Entities”). HIPAA further requires Covered Entities to protect the confidentiality of health information by meeting certain security standards and implementation specifications. In addition, under HIPAA, Covered Entities that electronically transmit certain administrative and financial transactions must utilize standardized formats and data elements (the “transactions/code sets standards”). HIPAA imposes civil monetary penalties for non-compliance, and, with respect to knowing violations of the privacy standards, or violations of such standards committed under false pretenses or with the intent to sell, transfer or use protected health information for commercial advantage, criminal penalties. Certain agents of Covered Entities (“business associates”) also have HIPAA responsibilities and liabilities. We both have business associates and are business associates to other Covered Entities. We believe that we are subject to the Administrative Simplification Provisions of HIPAA and are taking steps to meet applicable standards and implementation specifications. The new requirements have had a significant effect on the manner in which we handle health data and communicate with payors.
In addition, state confidentiality and privacy laws may impose civil and/or criminal penalties for certain unauthorized or other uses or disclosures of protected health information. We are also subject to these laws. While we endeavor to assure that our operations
comply with applicable laws governing the confidentiality and privacy of health information, we could face liability in the event of a use or disclosure of health information in violation of one or more of these laws.
Personnel and Training
None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that we have satisfactory relationships with our employees and strive to maintain these relationships by offering competitive benefit packages, training programs and opportunities for advancement. We have approximately 4,900 employees of which approximately 1,500 are clinicians.
We provide a series of ongoing training programs to improve the professional knowledge of our clinicians. For example, we have an annual education fair that is attended by approximately 925 of our clinicians, leaders and other employees. This annual meeting consists of lectures and seminars covering many clinical topics including the latest technology and process improvements, business courses and other courses that allow the clinicians to fulfill their ongoing continuing education requirements.
Insurance
We currently maintain insurance coverage for professional liability, product liability, general liability, directors’ and officers’ liability, workers’ compensation, executive protection, property damage and other lines of insurance. Our general liability insurance coverage is $1 million per occurrence, with a $25 million umbrella insurance policy. The coverage for professional liability, product liability and workers’ compensation is self-insured with both individual specific claim and aggregate stop-loss policies to protect us from either significant individual claims or dramatic changes in our loss experience. Based on our experience and prevailing industry practices, we believe our coverage is adequate as to risks and amount.

Set forth below are certain risk factors that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully read the following risk factors, together with the consolidated financial statements, related notes and other information contained herein elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that contain risks and uncertainties. Please read the cautionary notice regarding forward-looking statements in Item 7 under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in connection with your consideration of the risk factors and other important factors that may affect future results described below.
The restatement of our previously issued consolidated financial statements has been time-consuming and expensive and could expose us to additional risks that would adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as well as investor confidence in our Company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
As described in the section entitled “Explanatory Note” preceding Part I, Item I and in “Note B — Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have restated our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, as well as each of the first two quarters of 2014 and each of the quarters in fiscal year 2013. We have also restated our financial results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 (each unaudited), as summarized in Item 6. “Selected Financial Data.” The restatement has been time-consuming and expensive and could expose us to a number of additional risks that would adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as well as investor confidence in our Company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
In particular, we have incurred, and continue to incur, significant expense, including audit, legal, consulting and other professional fees, as well as fees related to the amendment of our Credit Agreement dated as of June 17, 2013 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and the Indenture dated as of November 2, 2010 governing our previously issued Senior Notes due 2018, in connection with the restatement and the ongoing remediation of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We have taken a number of steps that we have deemed appropriate and reasonable to strengthen our accounting function and reduce the risk of future restatements, including adding internal personnel and hiring outside consultants, as described in more detail in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” contained this Annual Report on Form 10-K. To the extent these steps are not successful, we may need to incur additional time and expense to address accounting issues that could arise in the future. Our management’s attention has also been, and may further be, diverted from the operation of our business as a result of the time and attention required to address the ongoing remediation of material weaknesses in our internal controls.
In addition, we may be the subject of negative publicity and lack of confidence in our business as a result of the Restatement and related matters, and may be adversely impacted by negative reactions from our shareholders, creditors, customers, suppliers, referral sources or other constituents important to our business. This negative publicity may impact our ability to attract and retain customers, employees and vendors. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could harm our business and reputation and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
We are also subject to claims, investigations and proceedings arising out of the misstatements contained in our previously issued financial statements. For additional information regarding this litigation, see Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which could, if not remediated, adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner, negatively impacting investor confidence and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and is required to evaluate the effectiveness of these controls and procedures on a periodic basis and publicly disclose the results of these evaluations and related matters in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Management has identified numerous material weaknesses that existed as of December 31, 2014, including material weaknesses relating to the ineffectiveness of the control environment. See Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of these material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014.
A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We are actively engaged in developing and implementing remedial measures designed to address these material weaknesses. Our remedial measures are not complete and are ongoing. Although we are working to remedy the ineffectiveness of the our internal control over financial reporting, there can be no assurance as to when the remedial measures will be fully developed, the timing and effectiveness of our implementation of such remedial measures or the aggregate cost of implementation. Until our remedial measures are fully implemented, our management will continue to devote significant time and
attention to these efforts. If we do not complete our remediation in a timely fashion, or at all, or if our remedial measures are inadequate, there will continue to be an increased risk that we will be unable to timely file future periodic reports with the SEC and that our future consolidated financial statements could contain misstatements that will be undetected. If we are unable to report our results in a timely and accurate manner, then we may not be able to comply with the applicable covenants in our credit agreements, and may be required to seek additional amendments or waivers under these credit agreements, which could adversely impact our liquidity and financial condition. Further and continued determinations that there are material weaknesses in the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could reduce our ability to obtain financing or could increase the cost of any financing we obtain and require additional expenditures of both money and our management’s time to comply with applicable requirements.
Any failure to implement or maintain required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could result in additional material weaknesses or material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Any new misstatement could result in a further restatement of our consolidated financial statements, cause us to fail to meet timely our periodic reporting obligations with the SEC, cause us to violate debt covenants, reduce our ability to obtain financing or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in the value of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will not discover additional weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Furthermore, as we grow our business, our disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting will become more complex, and we may require significantly more resources to ensure the effectiveness of these controls. If we are unable to continue upgrading our internal controls, reporting systems and IT in a timely and effective fashion, then we may require additional management time and attention and other resources to be devoted to assist in compliance with the disclosure and financial reporting requirements and other rules that apply to public companies, which could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.
The restatement of our previously issued financial results has resulted in private litigation and could result in private litigation judgments that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to stockholder derivative litigation relating to certain of our previous public disclosures. For additional discussion of this litigation, see Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our management has been and may be required in the future to devote significant time and attention to this litigation, and this and any additional matters that arise could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition as well as on our reputation. While we cannot estimate our potential exposure in these matters at this time, we have already incurred significant expense defending this litigation and expect to continue to need to incur significant expense in the defense.
The existence of the litigation may have an adverse effect on our reputation with referral sources and our patients themselves, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our failure to prepare and timely file our periodic reports with the SEC limits our access to the public markets to raise debt or equity capital, impacts our ability to obtain alternative financing and could have negative consequences under the terms of our existing credit agreements.
We have not made timely periodic reporting filings with the SEC since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. In particular, we did not file this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 within the time frame required by the SEC. We also have not yet filed our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 or any Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for 2015 or 2016. As a result of our late SEC filings, we are limited in our ability to access the public markets to raise debt or equity capital, which could prevent us from pursuing transactions or implementing business strategies that we believe would be beneficial to our business.
We entered into the Fifth Amendment and Waiver, effective as of August 1, 2016, with respect to our Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment and Waiver”), which waives defaults and events of default under the Credit Agreement and also modifies certain of the terms and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, including increasing the applicable interest rates, with some of the modifications terminating at such time as we meet various conditions. Also on August 1, 2016, we entered a Term B Credit Agreement that provides for a $280 million senior unsecured term loan facility under which all outstanding principal is due at maturity on August 1, 2019 (the “Term B Credit Agreement”) and all borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 11.50% payable quarterly in arrears.
If we fail to comply with the terms of our Credit Agreement as amended by the Fifth Amendment and Waiver or the terms of our Term B Credit Agreement, which include financial ratios and obligations to provide audited financial statements for years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 by August 15, 2017, or we are unsuccessful at further amending or waiving the Credit Agreement when the existing amendments and waivers expire (if such further amendment and waivers become necessary), then we may be subject to numerous penalties, including but not limited to the acceleration of all of our debt outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Term B Credit Agreement. In the event that the debt was to be accelerated, then we may need to seek alternative financing to satisfy our financial obligations. This alternative financing may not be available to us on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.
We have substantial indebtedness, and our failure to comply with the covenants and payment requirements of that indebtedness may subject us to increased interest expenses, lender consent and amendment costs or adverse financial consequences.
As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately $529.0 million in indebtedness. That indebtedness was comprised of approximately $283.8 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of our then outstanding Senior Notes due 2018. As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately $482.1 million in indebtedness. This current level of indebtedness is comprised of approximately $180.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement and approximately $280.0 million of borrowings under our Term B Credit Agreement. Under these credit agreements, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants and other provisions. In addition to other requirements, these provisions include requirements that we timely prepare our financial statements and timely receive audits on our annual financial statements, meet certain financial ratio requirements and timely pay interest and principal when due. Due to our material weaknesses and other factors, we have not been able to timely file our financial statements since June 30, 2014. Additionally, we have failed in our compliance with certain of our financial covenants. These failures on our part have resulted in defaults under our debt agreements. To remedy these defaults, we have had to provide lenders with consent and amendment fees, have experienced increasing constraints on our ability to borrow under our debt agreements, have been required to pay higher interest costs and have been required to adhere to increased restrictions on the use of the funds we borrow. To the extent that we fail to meet our financial statement requirements in future periods, our operating trends do not enable us to meet our financial covenant requirements, we are unable to pay interest or principal when due or we are unable to meet other covenants and requirements contained within our credit agreements, we may default under one or both of our credit agreements. A default under one or both of these agreements could result in further increases in consent or amendment fees to lenders, further increases in interest costs, the imposition of additional constraints on borrowing by our lenders or potentially more serious liquidity constraints and adverse financial consequences, including reductions in the value of the our common stock or the necessity of seeking protection from creditors under bankruptcy laws.
Additionally, our current credit agreements include variable interest rates. In the event that interest rates rise, we will be required to pay greater interest expenses, which will have an adverse effect on our net income from operations and financial condition.
To remedy issues we may encounter with meeting our debt obligations, or for other purposes, we may find it necessary to seek further refinancing of our indebtedness, and may do so with debt instruments that are more costly than our existing instruments (and which will rank senior to our equity securities), or we may issue additional equity securities which may dilute the ownership interests or value of our existing shareholders. These actions may decrease the value of our equity securities.
Health care reform has initiated significant changes to the United States health care system and we expect to see further changes in the health care system in the future.
Various health care reform provisions became law upon enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub. L. No. 111-148, on March 23, 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”). The reforms contained in the Affordable Care Act have impacted our business. Continued political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the health care industry in the United States to fundamental change. Further changes relating to the health care industry and in health care spending may adversely affect our revenue. We anticipate that Congress will continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery and payment systems and may in the future propose and adopt legislation effecting additional fundamental changes in the health care system. We cannot assure you as to the ultimate content, timing or effect of changes, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of potential legislation on our business.
Changes in government reimbursement levels could adversely affect our Patient Care segment’s net revenue, cash flows and profitability.
We derived 50.9%, 50.9% and 49.1% of our cash collections for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as an approximation of our net revenue from reimbursements for O&P services and products from programs administered by Medicare, Medicaid and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Each of these programs set reimbursement levels for the O&P services and products provided under their program. If these agencies reduce reimbursement levels for O&P services and products in the future, our net revenues could substantially decline. In addition, the percentage of our net revenues derived from these sources may increase as the portion of the U.S. population over age 65 continues to grow, making us more vulnerable to reimbursement reductions by these organizations. Reduced government reimbursement levels could result in reduced private payor reimbursement levels because fee schedules of certain third party payors are indexed to Medicare reimbursement levels. Furthermore, the health care industry is experiencing a trend towards cost containment as government and other third party payors seek to impose lower reimbursement rates and negotiate reduced contract rates with service providers. This trend could adversely affect our net revenues. For example, a number of states have reduced their Medicaid reimbursement rates for O&P services and products, or have reduced Medicaid eligibility, and others are in the process of reviewing Medicaid reimbursement policies generally, including for prosthetic and orthotic devices.
Medicare provides for reimbursement for O&P products and services based on prices set forth in fee schedules for ten regional service areas. Medicare prices are adjusted each year based on the CPI-U unless Congress acts to change or eliminate the adjustment. The
Medicare price (decreases)/increases for 2016, 2015, and 2014 were (0.4%), 1.5%, and 1.0%, respectively. The Affordable Care Act changed the Medicare inflation factors applicable to O&P (and other) suppliers. The annual updates for years subsequent to 2011 are based on the percentage increase in the CPI-U for the 12-month period ending with June of the previous year. Section 3401(m) of the ACA required that for 2011 and each subsequent year, the fee schedule update factor based on the CPI-U for the 12-month period ending with June of the previous year is to be adjusted by the annual change in economy-wide private nonfarm business multifactor productivity (the “MFP Adjustment”). The MFP Adjustment may result in the percentage increase being less than zero for a year and may result in payment rates for a year being less than such payment rates for the preceding year. Although the decrease in the Medicare O&P fee schedule for 2016 is not unprecedented, it is the first time that there has been a decrease since 2011, when the Productivity Adjustment was first introduced following the ACA. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) has not yet issued a final rule implementing these adjustments for years beyond 2011, but has indicated in a proposed rule that it will do so as part of the annual program instructions to the O&P fee schedule updates. See 75 Fed. Reg. 40040, 40122-25 (July 13, 2010). If the U.S. Congress were to legislate additional modifications to the Medicare fee schedules, our net revenues from Medicare and other payors could be adversely and materially affected.
Alternative models of reimbursement for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies (“DMEPOS”) may also affect our business. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 requires that Medicare replace the current fee schedule payment methodology for certain DMEPOS items and services with “single payment amounts” determined through a competitive bidding process, and CMS has issued regulations finalizing the methodology for adjusting fee schedule amounts for such items. See 79 Fed, Reg. 66120, 66123 (November 6, 2014). The types of DMEPOS subject to competitive bidding under the statute include: oxygen and oxygen equipment; continuous positive airway pressure devices, single and bi-level; standard manual and power wheelchairs, scooters and walkers; Group 2 complex rehabilitative power wheelchairs; hospital beds, commode chairs, patient lifts and seat lifts; support surfaces or pressure reducing mattresses and overlays; enteral nutrients, supplies and equipment; negative pressure wound therapy pumps; infusion pumps; transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation devices; standard nebulizers; and certain mail-order diabetic testing supplies. Under the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program, suppliers compete to submit bids for selected products, and the Medicare suppliers offering the best price, in addition to meeting applicable quality and financial standards, are awarded contracts to supply the designated products and services to Medicare beneficiaries in specified competitive bidding areas. Although our product offerings currently subject to competitive bidding do not comprise a significant portion of our business, it is possible that the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program may expand to include other types of products we offer, or that other payors will adopt similar models for reimbursement, which may negatively affect our net revenue.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 required, among other things, mandatory across-the-board reductions in Federal spending, or “sequestration.” While delayed by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, President Obama issued a sequestration order on March 1, 2013. For services provided on or after April 1, 2013, Medicare fee-for-service claim payments, including those for DMEPOS as well as claims under the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program, are reduced by 2 percent. On November 2, 2015, President Obama signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 into law, which provided for two years of increases to discretionary spending to be offset by an additional year of Medicare sequestration, through 2025. This is a claims payment adjustment with limited impact on us; no permanent reductions in the Medicare DMEPOS fee schedule have been made as a result of sequestration, therefore additional reimbursements from Medicaid, the VA and commercial payors who use the Medicare fee schedule as a basis for reimbursement have not been impacted.
CMS may also develop policies to limit Medicare coverage of specific products and services. Medical administrative contractors may issue local coverage determinations (“LCD”) that limit coverage for a particular item or service in their jurisdiction only. This can lead to state-by-state variation in Medicare coverage for some items and services. Any LCD that negatively impacts orthotic or prosthetic reimbursement would negatively affect our revenue.
Finally, patients may continue to move to Medicare Advantage plans from traditional Medicare plans, which will change the nature of the reimbursement received by us from the traditional Medicare program and negatively affect our net revenue.
If the average rates that commercial payors pay us decline significantly, then it would have a material adverse effect on our net revenues, earnings and cash flows.
We derived approximately 41.4%, 41.4% and 43.2% of our cash collections for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as an approximation of our net revenue from reimbursements for O&P services and products for patients who have commercial payors as their primary payor. We continue to experience downward pressure on some of our commercial payment rates as a result of general conditions in the market, recent and future consolidations among commercial payors, increased focus on O&P services and products and other factors. There is no guarantee that commercial payment rates will not be materially lower in the future, particularly given the fluctuations in government reimbursement rates.
We are continuously in the process of negotiating new agreements and renegotiating agreements that are up for renewal with commercial payors, who tend to be aggressive in their negotiations with us. Sometimes many significant agreements are up for renewal or being renegotiated at the same time. In the event that our continual negotiations result in overall commercial rate reductions in excess of overall commercial rate increases, the cumulative effect could have a material adverse effect on our financial
results. Consolidations in the commercial payor market have significantly increased the negotiating leverage of commercial payors. Our negotiations with payors are also influenced by competitive pressures, and we may experience decreased contracted rates with commercial payors or experience decreases in patient volume as our negotiations with commercial payors continue. If the average rates that commercial payors pay us decline significantly, or if we see a decline in commercial patients, it would have a material adverse effect on our revenues, earnings and cash flows.
Changes in government reimbursement levels could adversely affect our Product & Services segment’s net revenues, cash flows and profitability.
In addition to the risks to our Patient Care segment businesses discussed previously, changes in government reimbursement levels could also adversely affect the net revenues, cash flows and profitability of the businesses in our Product & Services segment. In particular, a significant majority of sales at ACP involve devices and related services provided to SNFs and similar businesses. Reductions in government reimbursement levels to SNFs have caused, and could continue to cause, such SNFs to reduce or cancel their use of ACP’s devices and modalities, negatively impacting net revenues, cash flows and profitability. For example, in July 2011 CMS announced an across the board reduction of approximately 11% in SNF reimbursement levels, which negatively impacted the demand for ACP’s devices and treatment modalities. We cannot predict whether any other changes to reimbursement levels will be implemented, or if implemented what form any changes might take.
We depend on reimbursements by third party payors, as well as payments by individuals, which could lead to delays and uncertainties in the reimbursement process.
We receive a substantial portion of our payments for health care services on a fee for service basis from third party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, private insurers and managed care organizations. We estimate that we have received approximately 92.3%, 92.3% and 92.3% of our net revenues from such third party payors during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We estimate that such amounts included approximately 29.4%, 30.5% and 28.7% from Medicare in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, 12.8%, 12.5% and 12.6% from Medicaid programs in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, we estimate net revenues from the VA were 8.7%, 7.9% and 7.8% in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The reimbursement process is complex and can involve lengthy delays. Third party payors continue their efforts to control expenditures for health care, including proposals to revise reimbursement policies. While we recognize revenue when health care services are provided, there can be delays before we receive payment. In addition, third party payors may disallow, in whole or in part, requests for reimbursement based on determinations that certain amounts are not reimbursable under plan coverage, that services provided were not medically necessary or that additional supporting documentation is necessary. Retroactive adjustments may change amounts realized from third party payors. Third party payors may require pre-authorizations for certain services and/or devices, which may result in a delay in our ability to provide services or to provide services at all. Additionally, we may see an increase in bundled payment models, which can result in delays before we receive payment or no payment for certain services at all.
Changes in government reimbursement levels and policies such as those described above may also contribute to uncertainties surrounding the reimbursement process. We are subject to governmental audits of our reimbursement claims under Medicare, Medicaid, the VA and other governmental programs and may be required to repay these agencies if found that we were incorrectly reimbursed. Delays and uncertainties in the reimbursement process may adversely affect accounts receivable, increase the overall costs of collection and cause us to incur additional borrowing costs.
We also may not be paid with respect to co-payments and deductibles that are the patient’s financial responsibility. Many of the plans offered on the state health insurance exchanges have high deductibles and required coinsurance that patients cannot afford to pay. Amounts not covered by third party payors are the obligations of individual patients from whom we may not receive whole or partial payment. We also may not receive whole or partial payments from uninsured and underinsured individuals. In such an event, our earnings and cash flow would be adversely affected, potentially affecting our ability to maintain our restrictive debt covenant ratios and meet our financial obligations.
Additionally, employer based plans and other individual plans are increasingly relying on “high deductible” plan designs. As their participation in health plans with these high deductible designs increases, our patients will face greater financial burdens and participatory costs that may affect their decisions regarding the timing of their replacement of their devices. Due to cost considerations, they may seek to repair or refurbish their existing devices and delay the purchase of new replacement devices, which will adversely affect our revenues and our profitability.
The risks associated with third party payors, co-payments and deductibles and the inability to monitor and manage accounts receivable successfully could still have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our collection policies or our provisions for allowances for Medicare, Medicaid and contractual discounts and doubtful accounts receivable may not be adequate.
Due to constraints in the growth of our rates of reimbursement, we may face cost pressures that adversely affect our profitability.
Due to increased pressures on governmental and commercial payors to seek ways of reducing the costs of care, those payors have and may continue to seek ways to reduce growth in the rate of our reimbursement for the services we provide. This constraint in the rate of growth in reimbursement may adversely affect our profitability as we experience increases in the wages, materials and other costs necessary to the conduct of our business. These cost increases may adversely affect our profitability and our profit margins.
Given the complexities and demands related to reimbursement, we may fail to adequately provide the staffing and systems necessary to ensure we effectively manage our reimbursement processes.
The nature of our business requires that we are effective in the assessment of patient eligibility, the process of pre-authorization, the recordation and collection of provider documentation, the timely and complete submission of claims for reimbursement, the application of cash receipts to patient accounts, the timely response to payor denials and the conduct of collection activities. If we fail to provide adequate or qualified staffing, we could incur reductions in the amount of reimbursement we receive for the O&P services that we provide.
We face periodic reviews, audits and investigations under our contracts with federal and state government agencies, and these audits could have adverse findings that may negatively impact our business.
We contract with various federal and state governmental agencies to provide O&P services. Pursuant to these contracts, we are subject to various governmental reviews, audits and investigations to verify our compliance with the contracts and applicable laws and regulations. Any adverse review, audit or investigation could result in:
· refunding of amounts we have been paid pursuant to our government contracts;
· imposition of fines, penalties and other sanctions on us;
· loss of our right to participate in various federal programs;
· damage to our reputation in various markets; or
· material and/or adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In recent years we have seen a significant increase in Medicare audits, including RAC audits, CERT audits and MAC prepayment audits. In addition, ZPICs are responsible for the identification of suspected fraud through medical record review. We are currently undergoing an expanded ZPIC prepayment and post payment audit in connection with certain products and services provided from our Lake Charles, Louisiana patient care center. We believe that additional audits, inquiries and investigations will continue to occur from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Medicare audits could have a material and adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations, particularly if we are unsuccessful at final adjudication.
We are subject to numerous federal, state and local governmental regulations, noncompliance with which could result in significant penalties that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
A failure by us to comply with the numerous federal, state and/or local health care and other governmental regulations to which we are subject, including the regulations discussed under “Government Regulation” in Item 1. “Business” above, could result in significant penalties and adverse consequences, including exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Within our Products & Services segment, we provide certain equipment and consultative services to SNFs, who, due to reimbursement pressures, may choose to discontinue our services or seek alternative arrangements for the provision of this equipment.
Approximately $65.6 million of our net revenue in 2014 related to recurring revenues derived from providing therapeutic equipment and related consultative services to SNFs. SNFs have been experiencing reimbursement pressures which could adversely impact our business with them. To reduce costs, these facilities could choose to forego our services, or seek alternative arrangements for the provision of the equipment we provide them, thereby reducing our revenue and earnings.
Completing the implementation of NextGen, our comprehensive clinic management system, could interfere with our patient care clinic operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on our IT infrastructure to achieve our business objectives. Beginning in late 2013, we commenced the rollout of a new patient management and electronic health record system in our patient care clinics. In the third quarter of 2014, we halted the roll-out due to the negative impact the roll-out had on revenue cycle management. We have revised, updated and reduced the amount of
customizations made to the system, which we now refer to as NextGen. We have also substantially improved our revenue cycle management function, and are currently in the process of completing the roll out of NextGen, and anticipate the rollout to continue through 2018. Any disruptions, delays or complications in the implementation process, or any deficiencies in the design, operation or expected performance of the NextGen system, could result in higher than expected implementation costs, the diversion of management’s and other employees’ attention from the day-to-day operations of our patient care clinics, including scheduling patient visits, and other disruptions to our patient care business. Any of these consequences could have an adverse impact on our revenue or costs, billing and related accounts receivable collections, all of which impacts cash flow and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
To address our business needs and weaknesses in financial controls, we will likely be required to upgrade certain of our operational and financial systems in future years. If we fail in the selection or implementation of such systems, or fail to maintain our existing systems, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.
We are highly dependent on our ability to procure materials and componentry, manage our inventories, support our patient encounters and to otherwise support the administrative requirements associated with our human resource, financial and other needs. We may not have sufficient financial capacity to implement such systems, or may fail in our selection and implementation of such systems. The failure to implement systems in a timely manner may adversely affect our ability to establish an effective control environment. If we are delayed in the implementation of systems, and existing systems are not adequately maintained, we could experience adverse interruptions in our ability to operate, or experience excessive costs associated with the remediation of consequential systems issues. Additionally, our failure to correctly select and implement systems could cause operational disruptions, delays, duplicative operating costs or other financial burdens which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Our products and services face the risk of technological obsolescence, which, if realized, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The medical device industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological change. There can be no assurance that third parties will not succeed in developing and marketing technologies, products or services that are more effective than ours or that would render our products and services obsolete or noncompetitive. Additionally, new surgical procedures and medications could be developed for diabetes, trauma associated with accidents or physical injury, tumors, infection or musculoskeletal disorders of the back, extremities or joints that would replace or reduce the importance of our prosthetic and orthotic products and services. Accordingly, our success will depend upon our ability to respond to future medical and technological changes that may impact the demand for our prosthetic and orthotic products and services.
Our failure to economically procure necessary components and to conduct timely and effective inventories of the materials and components we use in our business could result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business involves the use of materials and componentry we acquire from third party manufacturers. If manufacturers critical to our business substantially increase the cost of the components they sell to us, then our inability to acquire the necessary materials and components on an economic basis may adversely affect revenues and earnings. Additionally, to successfully perform our business, it is necessary that we conduct timely and thorough inventories of our raw materials and WIP. The conduct of these inventories are costly and time consuming. If we encounter issues in their conduct, given that our clinicians oversee the inventory processes which occur in our clinic locations, remedial procedures can disrupt our ability to see and treat patients, and thereby adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Our common stock was delisted from the NYSE and moved to the OTC, affecting the trading of our common stock and reputation.
Our common stock was delisted from the NYSE in February 2016 as a result of our failure to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 within the extended compliance period required by the NYSE. After the delisting, our common stock began trading on the OTC. There can be no assurance whether or when our common stock will be relisted for trading on the NYSE or another national securities exchange. Our shareholders may continue to face material adverse consequences as a result of our trading on the OTC rather than a national securities exchange, including, but not limited to, a decrease in the price of our common stock, increased volatility, decreased trading activity or liquidity, a lack of analyst research and a potential decline in institutional holders whose charters do not allow them to hold securities in unlisted companies. In addition, the delisting from the NYSE may have had and may continue to have a negative impact on our reputation and, as a consequence, our business and the price of our common stock.
If we are unable to retain our senior management and key employees, then our business and results of operations and financial position could be harmed.
Our ability to maintain our competitive position is largely dependent on the services of our senior management, clinicians and other key employees. Although we have employment agreements with our senior management, these agreements do not prevent those individuals from ceasing their employment with us at any time. Additionally, adverse publicity and increased demands associated
with the Restatement and associated litigation and regulatory investigations could increase our key employee retention risks. If we are unable to retain existing senior management, clinicians and other key employees, or to attract other such qualified employees on terms satisfactory to us, then our business could be adversely affected.
Our non-compete agreements and other restrictive covenants involving clinicians may not be enforceable.
We have contracts with clinicians in many states. Some of these contracts include provisions preventing these clinicians from competing with us both during and after the term of our relationship with them. The law governing non - compete agreements and other forms of restrictive covenants varies from state to state. Some states are reluctant to strictly enforce non - compete agreements and restrictive covenants applicable to health care providers. There can be no assurance that our non - compete agreements related to affiliated clinicians will not be successfully challenged as unenforceable in certain states. In such event, we would be unable to prevent former affiliated clinicians from competing with us, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our patients, reducing our revenues and earnings.
Cyber-attacks, system security risks, data breaches and other technology failures could adversely affect our ability to conduct business, our results of operations and our financial position.
A technology failure could occur and potentially disrupt our business, damage our reputation and adversely affect our profitability. Our IT systems are subject to the risk of computer viruses or other malicious codes, unauthorized access or cyber-attacks. The administrative and technical controls and other preventive actions that we take to reduce the risk of cyber incidents and protect our IT systems may be insufficient to prevent physical and electronic break-ins, cyber-attacks or other security breaches to our computer systems. In addition, disruptions or breaches could occur as a result of natural disasters, man-made disasters, epidemic/pandemic, industrial accident, blackout, criminal activity, technological changes or events, terrorism or other unanticipated events beyond our control. While we have insurance intended to provide coverage from certain losses related to such incidents and a variety of preventative security measures such as risk management, information protection, disaster recovery and business continuity plans, we cannot predict the method or outcome of every possible cyber incident or ensure that we have protected ourselves against every possible cyber threat in light of the varied and increasingly complex breaches faced by companies on a regular basis. Unanticipated problems with our systems or recovery plans could have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business, our results of operations and our financial position.
A cybersecurity incident could cause a violation of HIPAA and other privacy laws and regulations or result in a loss of confidential data.
A cyber-attack that bypasses our IT security systems causing an IT security breach, loss of protected health information or other data subject to privacy laws, loss of proprietary business information, or a material disruption of our IT business systems, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, our future results of operations, as well as our reputation, could be adversely impacted by theft, destruction, loss, or misappropriation of protected health information, other confidential data or proprietary business information.
Insurance coverage for some of our losses may be inadequate and may be subject to the credit risk of commercial insurance companies.
Some of our insurance coverage is through various third - party insurers. To the extent we hold policies to cover certain groups of claims or rely on insurance coverage obtained by third parties to cover such claims, but either we or such third parties did not obtain sufficient insurance limits, did not buy an extended reporting period policy, where applicable, or the issuing insurance company is unable or unwilling to pay such claims, we may be responsible for those losses. Furthermore, for our losses that are insured or reinsured through commercial insurance companies, we are subject to the “credit risk” of those insurance companies. While we believe our commercial insurance company providers currently are creditworthy, there can be no assurance that such insurance companies will remain so in the future.
We have made and may continue to make acquisitions, which could divert the attention of management and which may not be integrated successfully into our existing business. We may not find suitable acquisitions in the future, which could adversely affect our ability to penetrate new markets and achieve our growth objectives.
In past years we have pursued, and may continue to pursue, acquisitions to increase our market penetration, enter new geographic markets and expand the scope of services we provide. We cannot assure that we will identify suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions will be completed on acceptable terms or at all, our due diligence process will uncover all potential liabilities or issues affecting our integration process, we will not incur breakup, termination or similar fees and expenses, or we will be able to integrate successfully the operations of any acquired business. Furthermore, acquisitions in new geographic markets and services may require us to comply with new and unfamiliar legal and regulatory requirements, which could impose substantial obligations on us and our management, cause us to expend additional time and resources and increase our exposure to penalties or fines for noncompliance with such requirements. The acquisitions could be of significant size and involve operations in multiple jurisdictions. The acquisition and
integration of another business could divert management attention from other business activities. This diversion, together with other difficulties we may incur in integrating an acquired business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may incur debt to finance acquisitions. Such borrowings may not be available on terms as favorable to us as our current borrowing terms and may increase our leverage.
In order to remain competitive, we are required to make capital expenditures relating to our leaseholds and our equipment.
A substantial portion of our capital expenditure requirements relate to maintaining and upgrading the appearance and function of our patient care clinic and satellite locations. If we do not maintain our facilities, their relative appearance to that of our competitors could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain patients. In addition, changing competitive conditions or the emergence of any significant advances in O&P technology could require us to invest significant capital in additional equipment or capacity in order to remain competitive. If we are unable to fund any such investment or otherwise fail to invest in such items, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to our business or to defend successfully against intellectual property infringement claims by third parties.
Our ability to compete effectively depends in part upon our intellectual property rights, including but not limited to our trademarks and copyrights, and our proprietary technology. Our use of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures and agreements, and trademark, copyright, unfair competition, trade secret and other laws to protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary technology may not be adequate. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary technology, or to defend against claims by third parties that the conduct of our businesses or our use of intellectual property infringes upon such third - party’s intellectual property rights. Any intellectual property litigation or claims brought against us, whether or not meritorious, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained in all cases. The terms of any settlement or judgment may require us to pay substantial amounts to the other party or cease exercising our rights in such intellectual property, including ceasing the use of certain trademarks used by us to distinguish our services from those of others or ceasing the exercise of our rights in copyrightable works. In addition, we may have to seek a license to continue practices found to be in violation of a third - party’s rights, which may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected as a result.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:
· industry or general market conditions;
· domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance;
· changes in our referral sources’ or customers’ preferences;
· new regulatory pronouncements and changes in regulatory guidelines;
· lawsuits, enforcement actions and other claims by third parties or governmental authorities;
· actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;
· changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance or lack of research and reports by industry analysts;
· action by institutional shareholders or other large shareholders, including future sales of our common stock;
· speculation in the press or investment community;
· investor perception of us and our industry;
· changes in market valuations or earnings of similar companies;
· announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic partnerships;
· any future sales of our common stock or other securities;
· additions or departures of key personnel; and
· ability to get current and file future filings timely.
The stock markets have experienced extreme volatility in recent years that has been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, class action litigation has often been instituted against such company. Any litigation of this type brought against us could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts downgrade our stock or publishes misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
We do not intend to declare and pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth, to develop our business, and to potentially fund future share repurchases. Therefore, you are not likely to receive any dividends on your common stock for the foreseeable future, and the success of an investment in shares of our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which shareholders have purchased their shares.
Disruptions in our disaster recovery systems, management continuity planning or information systems could limit our ability to operate our business effectively, or adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our IT systems facilitate our ability to conduct our business. While we have disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans in place, any disruptions in our disaster recovery systems or the failure of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations. Despite our implementation of a variety of security measures, our technology systems could be subject to physical or electronic break - ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. In addition, in the event that a significant number of our management personnel were unavailable in the event of a disaster, our ability to effectively conduct business could be adversely affected.
As of December 31, 2016, we operated 821 patient care locations, comprised of 706 patient care clinics and 115 satellite locations, in 45 states and the District of Columbia. We own twelve buildings, including ten buildings that house a patient care clinic and two buildings that are currently unoccupied. Our patient care clinics occupied under leases have terms expiring between 2017 and 2027. Our patient care clinics average approximately 3,000 square feet in size. In total, including locations relating to our non-patient care businesses, administrative and fabrication locations, as well as storage and other non-occupied space, we currently have 951 locations, of which, 939 are under lease.
We believe our leased and owned facilities are adequate for carrying out our current and anticipated future O&P operations. We believe we will be able to renew such leases as they expire or find comparable or alternative space on commercially suitable terms. See Note N — “Leases” to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our facilities leases.

Other leased real estate holdings include our distribution facilities in Texas, Nevada, Georgia, Illinois and Pennsylvania, our corporate headquarters in Austin, Texas, and the headquarters for our rehabilitative solutions in Reno, Nevada, which is co-located with our Nevada distribution facility. We additionally operate eighteen leased fabrication facilities that assist our patient care locations in the fabrication of devices. Seven of these locations are co-located with a patient care clinic location. The fabrication facilities are located in the states of Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas. Substantially all of our owned properties are pledged to collateralize bank indebtedness. See Note O — “Long-Term Debt” to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding our outstanding debt and related collateral.
Securities and Derivative Litigation
In November 2014, a securities class action complaint, City of Pontiac General Employees’ Retirement System v. Hanger, et al. , C.A. No. 1:14-cv-01026-SS, was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The complaint named as defendants the Company and certain of its current and former officers for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding, inter alia , its financial statements, RAC audit success rate, the Company’s implementation of new financial systems, same-store sales growth and the adequacy of the Company’s internal processes and controls. The complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought unspecified damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and equitable relief.
On April 1, 2016, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and permitted plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. On July 1, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On September 15, 2016, the Company and certain of the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit. On January 26, 2017, the court granted the defendants’ motions and dismissed with prejudice all claims against all defendants for failure to state a claim. On February 24, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In February and August of 2015, two separate shareholder derivative suits were filed in Texas state court against the Company related to the announced restatement of certain financial statements of the Company. The cases were subsequently consolidated into Judy v. Asar, et. al., Cause No. D-1-GN-15-000625 . On October 25, 2016, plaintiffs in that action filed an amended complaint, and the case is currently pending before the 345 th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas.
The amended complaint in the consolidated derivative action names as defendants the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors. It alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty based, inter alia , on the defendants’ alleged failure to exercise good faith to ensure that the Company had in place adequate accounting and financial controls and that its disclosures regarding its business, financial performance and internal controls were truthful and accurate. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and equitable relief.
As the Company disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”). The Board delegated to the Special Committee the authority to (1) determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pursue any of the allegations made in the derivative cases filed in Texas state court against the Company (which cases were consolidated into the Judy case discussed above), (2) determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to pursue any remedies against any of the Company’s current or former employees, officers or directors as a result of the conduct discovered in the Investigation and (3) otherwise resolve claims or matters relating to the findings of the Investigation. The Special Committee retained independent legal counsel to assist and advise it in carrying out its duties and reviewed and considered the evidence and various factors relating to the best interests of the Company. In accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in the Company’s best interest to pursue any of the claims in the Judy derivative case. Also in accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to pursue legal remedies against any of the Company’s current or former employees, officers or directors.
On April 14, 2017, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative action based on the resolution by the Special Committee that it is not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to pursue the derivative claims. Counsel for the derivative plaintiffs have indicated that they will oppose the motion to dismiss.
Management intends to vigorously defend against the shareholder derivative action and the appeal in the securities class action. At this time, we cannot predict how the Courts will rule on the merits of the claims and/or the scope of the potential loss in the event of an adverse outcome. Should we ultimately be found liable, the resulting damages could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of our operations.
Other Matters
The SEC’s Division of Enforcement made inquiries of the Company concerning the circumstances surrounding the Restatement and related matters. The Company responded to those inquiries and provided requested documentation to the Staff of the Enforcement Division. By letter dated January 10, 2017, the Staff of the Division of Enforcement (the “Staff”) notified the Company that it had concluded its investigation of these matters and, based on information it had as of that date, did not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the Company. The information in the Staff’s letter was provided under the guidelines set out in the final paragraph of Securities Act Release No. 5310.
From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business, including additional payments under business purchase agreements. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with
respect to these actions will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of our operations.
We are in a highly regulated industry and receive regulatory agency inquiries from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including inquiries relating to our billing activities. To date these inquiries have not resulted in material liabilities, but no assurance can be given that future regulatory agencies’ inquiries will be consistent with the results to date or that any discrepancies identified during a regulatory review will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The following information in this Item 5 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Exchange Act or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate it by reference into such a filing.
Market Information
Our common stock was listed and traded on the NYSE from December 15, 1998 to February 26, 2016 under the symbol “HGR.” On February 29, 2016, our common stock began trading on the OTC under the symbol “HNGR” after the NYSE notified us on February 26, 2016 of immediate suspension of trading of and the initiation of delisting procedures against our common stock for failing to file our 2014 Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 within the extended compliance period granted by the NYSE. The following table sets forth the high and low closing sale prices for our common stock for the periods indicated as reported on the NYSE (through February 26, 2016) and the OTC (beginning on February 29, 2016):

The terms of our credit agreements and certain other agreements limit the payment of dividends on our common stock and such agreements are expected to continue to limit the payment of dividends in the future.
Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual and legal restrictions and any other factors deemed to be relevant.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the period January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2016, we did not sell any securities that were unregistered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the year ended December 31, 2014, and through December 31, 2016, we have not made any purchases of our common stock.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been derived from the audited restated consolidated financial statements as set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 have also been restated to reflect the impact of adjustments resulting from the restatement, but such restated data has not been audited.
The following selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and other financial data included herein elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to fully understand factors that may affect comparability of the information presented below.
As discussed above, the information presented in the following tables for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been adjusted to reflect the restatement of our financial results, which is more fully described in the “Explanatory Note” immediately preceding Part 1, Item 1 and in “Note B — Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” to our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (and, with respect to 2011 and 2010, in this Item 6). The selected consolidated financial data in this section is not intended to replace the consolidated financial statements. The information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Description of Restatement Adjustments
The categories of misstatements and their impact on previously reported consolidated financial statements for 2013 and 2012 annual periods are detailed in Note B — “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The categories of misstatements and their impact on previously reported consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for 2011 and 2010 annual periods are described below.
a. Inventory Valuation - The Company has identified misstatements in its historical inventory valuations. The misstatements related primarily to the valuation of WIP, and included intentional misstatements that had the effect of overstating the number of items in WIP, the relative stages of completion of WIP, and the overall valuation of WIP. The Company’s valuation of WIP requires the use of various estimates. Other misstatements included not reducing raw materials and WIP for vendor rebates and not ensuring inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Refer to further discussions regarding inventory valuation in Note C — “Significant Accounting Policies.” The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $5.4 million and understated income before operations of $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
b. Allowance for Disallowed Revenue and Uncollectible Accounts - The historical estimates of allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts did not sufficiently consider changes to the Company’s collection experience or differentiate between payor types. When preparing its estimates, the Company inappropriately relied upon aggregate averages of prior periods’ collection experience from varying numbers of older historical periods. The Company did not timely recognize adverse changes in its collection experience, and did not consider likely write-offs of residual receivable balances, as well as consider differences in collection patterns between payor types and aging categories. Additionally, misstatements in the classification of bad debt expense have been corrected and are presented as disallowed revenue. Refer to further discussion regarding allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts in Note E — “Accounts Receivable, Net.” The misstatement overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
c. Property, Plant and Equipment, net - During the Restatement Periods, misstatements occurred in the Company’s accounting for property, plant and equipment. These misstatements included improper capitalization of certain labor associated with internal-use software and improper capitalization into property, plant and equipment of costs that should have been expensed. The Company also found misstatements in the commencement of depreciation of its fixed assets and not recording disposals on a timely basis. Misstatement regarding leasehold improvement related items, which are recorded in property, plant and equipment in the financial statements, are included in the real property leases adjustment below. The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $3.2 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
d. Real Property Leases - The Company did not properly apply real property lease accounting standards. The Company identified misstatements with respect to the determination of the proper term of its leases, establishment of proper balances for deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances, determining depreciable lives of leasehold improvements, consideration of lessee involvement in the construction of leased assets (resulting in not properly identifying certain build-to suit arrangements, which are accounted for as financings after evaluating sale-leaseback accounting) and proper evaluation of capital lease obligations. Additionally, the Company did not properly establish and account for asset retirement obligations. The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $0.4 million and understated income from operations by $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
All Other Restatement Adjustments
e. Revenue Adjustments - The Company determined that it had not properly established a liability to reserve for revenue collected from third party payors and patients that was subject to refund in subsequent periods resulting in misstatements of net revenue. Additionally, the Company recorded purchase commissions as revenue rather than a reduction of cost of materials. The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $0.2 million and understated income before operations by approximately $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
f. Revenue Accrual - The Company often invoices patients or payors after a device is delivered. To account for this delay, the Company records an estimated revenue accrual for devices delivered but not yet invoiced at period end. The Company’s historical revenue accrual estimation model did not reasonably estimate the proper cut-off related to goods delivered but not yet invoiced, resulting in misstatements of both net revenue and accounts receivable. The misstatements understated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $1.8 million and overstated income before operations by approximately $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
g. Method of Accrual for Accounts Payable - The Company recorded an accrual for estimated accounts payable which utilized average accounts payable levels from historical periods. This model was prepared based upon when invoices were received, not when goods or services were received. The misstatement understated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
h. Other Profit & Loss Restatement Adjustments - There are other Restatement misstatements not otherwise described in items (a) through (g) above, which are individually insignificant to previously reported income from operations before taxes for each year. The other misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before income taxes by approximately $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.
i. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company identified balance sheet classification misstatements in which cash balances were overstated due to certain outstanding checks not being recognized as a reduction of cash in the period in which they were issued, which also understated other current assets. Additionally, certain cash receipts were not recorded as an increase to cash and a decrease to accounts receivable in a timely manner. Lastly, the Company misclassified restricted cash as cash and cash equivalents; restricted cash is now classified as “Other current assets.” For additional disclosure information, see Note C — “Significant Accounting Policies.” These corrections, along with the correction of other misstatements included within item (h) above, resulted in a net reduction to previously reported cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.1 million as of December 31, 2012.
j. Common Stock and APIC - The Company identified misstatements related to the incorrect application of stock compensation accounting standards. Restricted stock units with a performance condition were not expensed using the graded-vesting methodology. In addition, modifications to certain outstanding units were not recorded correctly. Restricted stock units were incorrectly recorded as share issuances on their grant date, rather than an issuance of shares on their vesting date. The cumulative misstatements understated additional paid-in capital and income from operations before taxes for multiple years by approximately $2.0 million as of December 31, 2012.
k. Income Taxes - The Company has identified certain errors in its historical accounting for income taxes, primarily related to uncertain tax positions and reconciliation of deferred tax balances. In addition, the more significant adjustments primarily relate to the income tax effects of other restatement adjustments noted above.
Other adjustments to previously reported financial information
The Company has also made certain reclassification adjustments to the previously reported consolidated financial statements. These adjustments do not relate to the correction of misstatements and are discussed in more detail below.
aa. Reclassification of expenses - Due to increases and resultant materiality of certain expenses in 2014, and to enable the presentation of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income to be more comparable with other health care services companies, the Company determined that certain expenses should be reported separately in 2014. The Company reclassified prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. For additional disclosure information, see Note C — “Significant Accounting Policies.”
bb. Discontinued operations - On November 5, 2014, the Audit Committee approved a plan to sell and/or otherwise dispose of Dosteon, part of the Company’s Patient Care operating segment. Dosteon is presented in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations , ASC 360-10 Property, Plant and Equipment-Overall , and ASC 350-20 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other — Goodwill as of December 31, 2014. The operating results and cash flows of Dosteon have been presented separately as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and the consolidated statements of cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014 and all comparable periods presented herein. As discussed in further detail in Note T — “Discontinued Operations,” assets of these businesses that were expected to be disposed of by sale are presented within “Assets held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014.
cc. Reclassification of Equipment Capital Lease Liabilities - The Company previously reported the current portion of equipment capital lease liabilities within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and non-current portion within “Other liabilities.” The Company is now presenting lease related financing liabilities, including capital leases and financing obligations related to certain real property transactions within “Long term debt, less current portion” and “Current portion of long term debt,” respectively, the balances are similar in nature to long-term debt. The equipment capital leases have been reclassified accordingly. For additional disclosure information, see Note O — “Long-Term Debt.”

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K including this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (or “Management’s Discussion and Analysis”) contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our liquidity and our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategies. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecasts” or similar words. These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports.
These statements involve risks, estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these statements, including, among other things: the effect of the restatement of our previously issued consolidated financial statements as described in Note B — “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any claims, investigations or proceedings arising as a result, as well as our ability to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting described in Item 9A. “ Controls and Procedures” contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our ability to provide audited consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with our debt covenant, changes in the demand for our O&P products and services, uncertainties relating to the results of operations or recently acquired O&P patient care clinics, our ability to enter into and derive benefits from managed-care contracts, our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified O&P clinicians, federal laws governing the health care industry, uncertainties inherent in investigations and legal proceedings, governmental policies affecting O&P operations and other risks and uncertainties generally affecting the health care industry.
Readers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, those described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, some of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those contemplated by any forward-looking statement. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements in this discussion to reflect events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect unanticipated events. Forward-looking statements and our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by the risks set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” or by other unknown risks and uncertainties.
Restatement of Prior Financial Information
In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company:
(a) restates its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 and the related Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012;
(b) restates its “Selected Financial Data” in Item 6 for fiscal years 2013, 2012, unaudited 2011 and unaudited 2010; and
(c) restates its “Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)” for the first two quarters in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and each of the quarters in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
The effects of the accounting adjustments made as a part of the restatement of our consolidated financial statements are more fully discussed in Note B — “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” to our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a description of the material weaknesses identified by management as a result of the Investigation and our internal reviews, including management’s plan to remediate those material weaknesses (the “Material Weaknesses”), refer to Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and all prior fiscal years, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for all quarterly periods prior to September 30, 2014, have not been amended. Accordingly, investors should no longer rely upon the Company’s previously released consolidated financial statements for these periods and any earnings releases or other communications
relating to these periods. See Note W — “Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited),” contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the impact of these adjustments on the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 and each of the quarterly periods in 2013. These activities are referred to in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis as the “Restatement.”
Effect of Delay in Financial Filings
Due to our detection of the Material Weaknesses and the necessity of our correction of previously issued financial information, we have not made a periodic filing with the SEC since August of 2014. The delay in completing and filing this report was due in part to our efforts to retrieve, review, reconcile and correct the Company’s source accounting records. Concurrent with the filing of this report, the Company is also commencing the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the annual periods ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, as well as the quarterly periods within years, and intends to file those as promptly as practicable after the filing of this report. Our work in the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K should assist us in the preparation of our 2015 and 2016 consolidated financial statements in that in order to prepare this report we have researched and documented the Company’s primary accounting policies and have been able to organize our manner of accounting for key supporting aspects of our consolidated financial statements. Nevertheless, due to the continuing existence of the Material Weaknesses, we will need to perform review, analysis and substantive procedures in order to ensure that our consolidated financial statements for those periods when filed are complete and accurate in all material respects, and this will result in our expenditure of additional time before we achieve current filing status.
Efforts preparing this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and financial presentation contained herein have come at a significant cost to the Company. In connection with our reconstruction and Restatement, the Investigation, and our preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have expended approximately $75.7 million in accounting, legal and related professional fees. Of this amount, approximately $37.9 million was recognized as expense in the Company’s 2014 results of operations, and the remainder will be recognized in subsequent years. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further discussion.
Unless otherwise stated, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis has been written to provide you with pertinent information regarding our performance during the periods encompassed by this report. Accordingly, we have not provided information regarding the Company’s performance during subsequent periods. Nevertheless, for certain information and events, which relate primarily to our indebtedness, capital structure and liquidity, we have provided disclosure regarding subsequent periods or have included further information in Note V — “Subsequent Events” to our consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Measures
In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we refer to a certain financial measure and statistic (or “metric”) that is not prescribed under GAAP as applied in the United States. We utilize these non-GAAP measures in order to evaluate the underlying factors that affect our business performance and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have defined and provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis are as follows:
Adjusted Gross Revenue and Disallowed Revenue — “Adjusted gross revenue” reflects our gross billings after their adjustment to reflect estimated discounts established in our contracts with payors of health care claims. As discussed in “Reimbursement Trends” below, pursuant to our contracts with payors, a portion of our adjusted gross billings may be disallowed based on factors including physician documentation, patient eligibility, plan design, prior authorization, timeliness of filings or appeal, coding selection, failure by certain patients to pay their portion of claims, computational errors associated with sequestration and other factors. We refer to these and other amounts as being “disallowed revenue.” Our net revenue reflects adjusted gross revenue after reduction for the estimated aggregate amount of disallowed revenue for the applicable period. To facilitate analysis of the comparability of our results, we provide these non-GAAP measures due to the significant increase that we have experienced in recent years in disallowed revenue which are further discussed below. In addition, we provide measures of material costs, personnel costs, other operating costs, general and administrative expenses, professional accounting and legal fees, depreciation and amortization and operating expenses as a percentage of adjusted gross revenue because we believe these percentages provide an investor with another meaningful measure to compare our results with prior periods. These measures are non-GAAP and unaudited.
Cash and Cash Equivalents under Credit Agreement — Under our Credit Agreement, liquidity is the sum of our “cash and cash equivalents,” which is the amount available to us in our bank accounts. This differs from the definition of “cash and cash equivalents” under GAAP, which includes a reduction for checks, drafts and other items that have been issued and not yet paid. We use the non-GAAP definition of cash and cash equivalents used in the Credit Agreement in certain of our discussions regarding liquidity.
Overview
We are a leading national provider of products and services that assist in enhancing or restoring the physical capabilities of patients with disabilities or injuries. Built on the legacy of James Edward Hanger, the first amputee of the American Civil War, Hanger and its predecessor companies have provided O&P services for over 150 years. We provide O&P services, distribute O&P devices and components, manage O&P networks and provide therapeutic solutions to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute and clinic settings. We operate through two segments - Patient Care and Products & Services. For further descriptions of our segments, see the Business Description section of Item 1. “Business” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our Patient Care segment is primarily comprised of Hanger Clinic which specializes in the design, fabrication and delivery of custom O&P devices through 706 patient care clinics and 115 satellite locations in 45 states and the District of Columbia. We also provide payor network contracting services to other O&P providers through this segment.
Our Products & Services segment is comprised of our distribution and our rehabilitative solutions businesses. As a leading supplier of O&P products in the United States, we coordinate through our distribution business the procurement and distribution of a broad catalog of O&P parts, componentry and devices to independent O&P providers nationwide. To facilitate speed and convenience, we deliver these products through one of our five distribution facilities that are located in Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas. The other business in our Products & Services segment is our rehabilitative solutions business, which develops specialized rehabilitation technologies and provides evidence-based clinical programs for post-acute rehabilitation to patients at approximately 4,300 skilled nursing, long-term care and other sub-acute rehabilitation facilities throughout the United States.
See Note S — “Segment and Related Information” to our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for disclosure of financial information by operating segment for 2014, 2013 and 2012.
Reimbursement Trends
In our Patient Care segment, we are reimbursed primarily through employer-based plans offered by commercial insurance carriers, Medicare, Medicaid and the VA. The following is a summary of our payor mix, expressed as a percentage of cash collections for the periods indicated:

Patient Care constitutes 82.7%, 82.3% and 81.5% of our revenue for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our remaining revenue is produced in our Products & Services segment which derives its revenue from commercial transactions with independent O&P providers, healthcare facilities and other customers. In contrast to revenues from our Patient Care segment, payment for these products and services are not directly subject to third party reimbursement from health care payors.
The amount of our reimbursement varies based on the nature of the O&P device we fabricate for our patients. Given the particular physical weight and size characteristics, location of injury or amputation, capability for physical activity and mobility, cosmetic and other needs of each individual patient, each fabricated prostheses and orthoses is customized for each particular patient. The nature of this customization and the manner by which our claims submissions are reviewed by payors makes our reimbursement process administratively difficult.
To receive reimbursement for our work, we must ensure that our clinical, administrative and billing personnel receive and verify certain medical and health plan information, record detailed documentation regarding the services we provide and accurately and timely perform a number of claims submission and related administrative tasks. Traditionally, we have performed these tasks in a manual fashion and on a decentralized basis. In recent years, due to increases in payor pre-authorization processes, documentation requirements, pre-payment reviews and pre- and post-payment audits, our ability to successfully undertake these tasks using our traditional approach has become increasingly challenging. We believe these changes in industry trends have been brought about in part by increased nationwide efforts to reduce health care costs.
A measure of our effectiveness in securing reimbursement for our services can be found in the degree to which payors ultimately disallow payment of our claims. Payors can deny claims due to their determination that a physician who referred a patient to us did not sufficiently document that a device was medically necessary or clearly establish the ambulatory (or “activity”) level of a patient. Claims can also be denied based on our failure to ensure that a patient was currently eligible under a payor’s health plan, that the plan provides full O&P benefits, that we received prior authorization, that we filed or appealed the payor’s determination timely, on the basis of our coding, failure by certain classes of patients to pay their portion of a claim and for various other reasons. If any portion of, or administrative factor within, our claim is found by the payor to be lacking, then the entirety of the claim amount may be denied reimbursement. Due to the increasing demands of these processes, the level and capability of our staffing, as well as our Material Weaknesses and other considerations, our consolidated disallowed revenue and bad debt expense, and their relationship to consolidated adjusted gross revenue, have increased over the past five years as follows (dollars in millions, unaudited):

Adjusted gross revenue in the above chart reflects our gross billings after reduction for estimated contractual discounts. As can be seen by the chart, the percentage of our gross billings that have been disallowed increased to 6.3% in 2013 from 2.9% in 2010. Due to industry trends and Company specific administrative factors, the Company’s actual collection experience degraded and disallowed revenue increased. Industry trends related to there being an increased level of payor audits and more stringent requests by payors that referring physician documentation be provided in connection with claims. During that period of time, the Company utilized a decentralized billing and collections approach, where invoicing and collections were undertaken at individual patient care locations. The Company’s typical locations have an average of two office administrators who are required to handle patient administration, purchasing and clinician support tasks. Due to increasing payor documentation demands and staffing levels during that period of time, administrative staff were increasingly unable to successfully address the growing levels of payor denials. In 2014, the Company’s accounts receivable trends were further complicated due to issues encountered with its implementation of a new patient management and electronic health record system. Due to system customizations that were not adequately tested, staffing deficiencies in cash application functions and other related procedural issues, the Company’s billing and collections were further adversely affected due to this systems implementation during that year as can be seen by the increase in the disallowed revenue rate to 7.5% and bad debt expense to 1.1% during 2014. Throughout this period, the Company’s processes were also impeded due to there being an underlying material control weakness in the Company’s administration of its contracts. As contracts were negotiated or amended with payors, the Company’s procedures did not provide adequate assurance of timely documented reconciliation of updated terms and conditions with those loaded into its billing systems. These above factors contributed to there being an increase in disallowances from payors in this period.
These adverse trends have also resulted in the following increases in our consolidated accounts receivable allowances (dollars in millions, unaudited):

To address these trends, in 2015 the Company commenced several initiatives whose aims are to improve the Company’s procedures and systems and to centralize its revenue cycle management activities. These initiatives are discussed further below in the “New Systems Implementation” and “Revenue Cycle Management” sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis presented below.
Increasing Patient Responsibility for the Cost of Devices
The majority of our devices are provided as replacement devices to patients with devices that are broken or have become worn with age. Prosthetic devices are typically replaced every three to five years. In recent years, an increasing number of employers have been shifting the cost burdens in their health plans to employees through use of “high deductible” or “consumer-driven” health plans. These plan designs typically require the patient to bear a greater portion of the cost of their care in exchange for a lower monthly premium. We believe the increased use of these plans has and will continue to have the effect of causing patients to delay the replacement of their devices and could accordingly adversely impact our revenue.
New Systems Implementation
In 2014, in the Company’s Patient Care segment, the Company commenced the implementation of a new patient management and electronic health record system at its patient care clinics. A key purpose of the system was to automate clinician documentation, claims coding and other increasingly complex clinic administrative requirements. In connection with the system implementation, the Company customized certain templates and software code within a system developed by NextGen. During the course of the year, as the system was installed at increasing numbers of clinics, the Company encountered difficulties in clinic workload, was unable to timely apply cash it received from payors to patient accounts and experienced a marked increase in its uncollectible accounts receivable. Due to these issues, the Company halted the implementation at the end of the third quarter of 2014, after the system had been installed at approximately one third of the Company’s sites.
The Company believes the implementation issues it encountered related primarily to inadequate testing of the system, a failure to successfully establish and effectively staff a central cash applications function, insufficient training and other difficulties associated with its customizations of the software code.
The Company subsequently remediated the issues it encountered in the system and its implementation process and recommenced implementation in 2016.
Revenue Cycle Management
Prior to 2014, we performed our eligibility, patient preauthorization, patient documentation, claims coding, claims submission, collection, cash application and claims audit support activities (our “revenue cycle management” functions) primarily on a decentralized location by location basis. Due to the increases experienced in disallowed revenue, as well as to address certain procedural requirements of our new patient management and electronic health record system and to otherwise improve the effectiveness of our revenue cycle management functions, during 2014 we commenced the process of establishing a centralized revenue cycle management organization with the strategy to gradually transition these functions from our decentralized clinic locations to a centralized organization.
Discontinuance of the Dosteon and CARES businesses
On November 5, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Board approved a plan to sell or otherwise dispose of Dosteon and CARES, both part of the Company’s Patient Care operating segment. This action was taken as a result of the Company’s strategic evaluation of these businesses. As of December 31, 2014, Dosteon qualified as assets held for sale and discontinued operations. As such the assets, operating results and cash flows of Dosteon have been presented separately as discontinued operations within our consolidated financial statements. The CARES business did not qualify as assets held for sale and was ultimately wound down in 2015. Accordingly, our CARES business has been classified as a continuing operation in our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014. The information provided herein is for our continuing operations, unless otherwise indicated. See Note T — “Discontinued Operations” to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our discontinued operations.
Acquisitions
In 2014, we acquired twelve O&P businesses and one distribution business with approximately $55.7 million in aggregate annualized revenue, operating a total of 37 patient care clinics and one distribution center located in eleven states. The aggregate purchase price for these businesses was $52.7 million, including $38.1 million in net cash, $14.0 million of Seller Notes and $0.6 million of working capital adjustments and other.
In 2013, we acquired nine O&P businesses with approximately $19.6 million in annualized revenue, operating a total of 22 patient care clinics located in eight states and the District of Columbia. The aggregate purchase price for these O&P businesses was $13.3 million, including $10.0 million in net cash, $2.3 million of Seller Notes and $1.0 million of working capital adjustments and other.
WalkAide System Coverage Decision
Our WalkAide system is a device manufactured and sold through our Product & Services segment that is designed to use functional electrical stimulation, or FES, to improve ambulation in people experiencing a condition known as “foot drop.” Foot drop is a gait abnormality in which patients have difficulty lifting the front part of their foot as they walk due to weakness, irritation or damage to the common fibular nerve in the lower leg.
In 2006, CMS issued a National Coverage Determination (“NCD”) that provided limited Medicare coverage for the WalkAide system in specific cases where the foot drop condition was caused by partial spinal injury. In an effort to seek expanded Medicare coverage, in 2012 and 2013 we conducted randomized clinical trials involving a use of the WalkAide system for patients with foot drop caused by stroke. Based on the outcomes of those studies, in late 2013 we requested that CMS reopen the 2006 NCD to include coverage under Medicare for foot drop caused by stroke. However, in the fourth quarter of 2014, after reviewing the results of the clinical trial, CMS determined that they would not reopen the NCD to expand coverage.
The WalkAide system remains a steady, but not significant, part of the Company’s overall business.
Seasonality
We believe our business is affected by the degree to which patients have otherwise met the deductibles for which they are responsible in their medical plans during the course of the year. The first quarter is normally our lowest relative net revenue quarter, followed by the second and third quarters, which are somewhat higher and consistent with one another, and, due to the general fulfillment by patients of their health plan co-payments and deductible requirements towards the year’s end, our fourth quarter is normally our highest revenue producing quarter.
Our results are also affected, to a lesser extent, by our holding of an education fair in the first quarter of each year. This one week event is conducted to assist our clinicians in maintaining their training and certification requirements and to facilitate a national meeting with our clinical leaders. We also invite manufacturers of the componentry for the devices we fabricate to these annual events so they can demonstrate their products and otherwise assist in our training process. During the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, we spent approximately $2.1 million and $2.1 million on travel and other costs associated with this one week event. In addition to the costs we incur associated with this annual event, we also lose the productivity of a significant portion of our clinicians during the one week period in which this event occurs, which contributes to the lower seasonal revenue level we experience during the first quarter of each year.
Business Environment and Outlook
We have a positive view of the long term need for prosthetic and orthotic devices and services within the markets that we serve. To address the debilitating effects of injuries and medical conditions such as diabetes, vascular disease, cancer and congenital disorders, we believe patients will have a continuing need for the O&P services that we provide. As the population grows and ages, we also believe there will be a gradual underlying increase in market demand.
To ensure we maintain, and grow, our share of this market, we believe that it will be necessary for us to find effective means to automate and better organize our business processes, improve our reimbursement capabilities and lower our cost structure in the longer term. Our size may afford us the ability to achieve economies of scale through purchasing and process automation initiatives that would be difficult for our smaller competitors. However, our size can work against us if we do not succeed in effectively serving our referring physicians and in competing with our individual competitors in each of the markets that we serve.
Additionally, we will need to overcome the adverse effects which the Material Weaknesses, Restatement and Investigation have had on our reputation.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our analysis and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumptions and disclosures. We have chosen accounting policies within GAAP that management believes are appropriate to fairly present, in all material respects, our operating results and financial position. Our significant accounting policies are stated in Note C — “Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our results of operations and the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Patient Care Segment
Revenues in the Company’s Patient Care segment are primarily derived from the sale of O&P devices and are recognized when the patient has received the device or service. At or subsequent to delivery, the Company issues an invoice to a third party payor, which primarily consist of commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, the VA and Private or Patient Pay (“Patient Pay”). The Company recognizes revenue for the amounts it expects to receive from payors and patients based on expected contractual reimbursement rates, which are net of estimated contractual discounts.
These revenue amounts are further revised as claims are adjudicated, which may result in disallowances, or decreases to revenue. The Company believes that adjustments related to write-offs of receivables should predominantly be recorded as a reduction of revenues, which the Company refers to as disallowed revenue. This is due to the majority of the Company’s revenues being collected from commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid and the VA, most of which are under contractual reimbursement rates. As such, the Company believes adjustments do not relate to an inability to pay but to contractual allowances, lack of timely claims submission, insufficient medical documentation or due to administrative errors. Amounts recorded to bad debt expense, which are recorded as “Other operating costs,” generally relate to commercial payor bankruptcies and private pay balances for which there was an assessment of collectability and collection attempts were made. At the end of each period, the Company establishes allowances for estimated disallowances relating to that period based on its prior adjudication experience and records such amounts as a reduction of revenue. In a similar fashion, the Company also estimates and records allowances for doubtful accounts on unpaid receivables at each period end. The Company also records a liability, with a corresponding reduction of revenue, for estimated refunds expected to be paid to third party payors.
Medicare and Medicaid regulations and the various agreements we have with other third party payors, including commercial health care providers under which these contractual adjustments and disallowed revenue are calculated, are complex and are subject to interpretation and adjustment and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided by the Company. Therefore, the particular O&P devices and related services authorized and provided, and the related reimbursement, are subject to interpretation and adjustment that could result in payments that differ from our estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and pay schedules, and contract renegotiations, occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change materially in the short-term and any related adjustments will be recorded as changes in estimates when they become known.
For more information on the Company’s use of estimates to calculate allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts, refer to the “Accounts Receivable, Net” section below.
The Company often invoices patients or payors after a device is delivered. To account for this delay, the Company records an estimated revenue accrual for devices delivered but not yet invoiced at period end. This estimate is based on a historical look-back analysis of lag times between delivery and invoicing that occur over a period end.
Products & Services Segment
Revenues in the Company’s Products & Services segment are derived from the distribution of O&P components and the leasing and sale of rehabilitation equipment and ancillary consumable supplies combined with equipment maintenance, education, and training. Distribution revenues are recorded upon the delivery of products, net of estimated returns.
Equipment leasing and related services revenue are recognized over the applicable term as the customer has the right to use the equipment and as the services are provided. Equipment sales revenue is recognized upon delivery, with any related services revenue deferred and recognized as the services are performed. Sales of consumables are recognized upon delivery.
Accounts Receivable, net
Patient Care Segment
The Company establishes allowances for its accounts receivable to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The Patient Care accounts receivables are recorded net of estimated unapplied cash, estimated allowance for disallowed revenue and estimated allowance for doubtful accounts, as described in the Revenue Recognition accounting policy above.
Both the allowance for disallowed revenue and the allowance for doubtful accounts method of estimation considers historical collection experience by each of the Medicare and non-Medicare (commercial insurance, Medicaid, the VA and Private Pay) primary payor class groupings. For each payor class grouping, liquidation analyses of historical period end receivables balances are performed to ascertain collections experience by aging category. The Company believes its use of historical collection experience applied to current period end receivables balances is reasonable. In the absence of an evident adverse trend, the Company has used historical experience rates calculated using an average of four quarters of data with at least twelve months of adjudication. The Company believes the time periods analyzed provide sufficient time for most balances to adjudicate in the normal course of operations. The Company will modify the time periods analyzed when significant trends indicate that adjustments should be made. In addition, estimates are adjusted when appropriate for information available up through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.
In the restated consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its estimates of accounts receivable allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts using estimates prepared as outlined above. The Restatement was undertaken to correct identified misstatements in the original estimates affecting those periods in compliance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , which requires each individual prior period presented to be adjusted to reflect corrections of the period-specific effects of the misstatements using information that would have been contemporaneously available as of each period end. Refer to further discussion in Note B — “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements,” in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Products & Services Segment
The Products & Services segment’s allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the analysis of the segment’s historical write-offs experience, accounts receivable aging and economic status of its customers. Accounts receivable that are deemed uncollectible are written-off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are also recorded net of an allowance for estimated sales returns.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of estimated cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Provisions have also been made to reduce the carrying value of inventories for excess, obsolete, or otherwise impaired inventory on hand at period-end.
Patient Care Segment
Substantially all of Patient Care Segment inventories are recorded through a periodic approach whereby inventory quantities are adjusted on the basis of an annual physical count performed during the fourth quarter each year. Segment inventories relate primarily to raw materials and WIP at Hanger Clinics, Dosteon raw materials, and CARES finished goods. Inventories at Hanger Clinics totaled $30.8 million and $35.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
In connection with the preparation of the restated consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its estimates of inventory amounts related to the Patient Care Segment using certain estimates that are discussed below. The restatement was undertaken to correct identified misstatements in the original estimates affecting those periods in compliance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which requires each individual prior period presented to be adjusted to reflect corrections of the period-specific effects of the misstatements using contemporaneous information as of each period-end to the extent available. Refer also to further discussion in Note B — “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Raw materials consists of purchased parts, components and supplies which are used in the assembly of O&P devices for delivery to patients. In some cases, purchased parts and components are also sold directly to patients. Raw materials are valued based on the basis of recent vendor invoices, reduced by estimated vendor rebates. Such rebates are recognized as a reduction of material costs in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income when the related devices or components are delivered to the patient. Approximately 51% and 80% of materials at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively were purchased from our Products & Services Segment.
WIP consists of devices which are in the process of assembly at the Company’s clinics or fabrication centers. WIP quantities were determined by the physical count of patient orders in process at December 31, 2014 while the related stage of completion of each order was established by clinic personnel. The Company does not have an inventory costing system and as a result, the identified WIP quantities were valued on the basis of estimated raw materials, labor, and overhead costs. To estimate such costs, the Company developed bills of materials for certain categories of devices that it assembles and delivers to its patients. Within each bill of material, the Company estimated (i) the typical types of component parts necessary to assemble each device; (ii) the points in the assembly process when such component parts are added; (iii) the estimated cost of such parts based on historical purchasing data; (iv) the estimated labor costs incurred at each stage of assembly; and (v) the estimated overhead costs applicable to the device.
In the restated consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, WIP was valued on the basis of physical counts performed as October 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and then valued using corrected historical cost information for materials, labor, and overhead applied to the estimated sales value of WIP inventory, similar to the approach originally used in those periods. Raw materials were valued on the basis of recent vendor invoices. These balances were then adjusted to December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (and subsequent interim period ends) through the use of the gross profit method, adjusted for changes in the estimated number of WIP devices on hand at the respective year-ends. In correcting the misstatements identified in prior periods, including the intentional misstatements described in Note B, the Company determined that it lacked sufficient contemporaneous information to correct certain of the misstatements. In those cases, the Company used information as of December 31, 2014 to determine the related restatement adjustments to inventory at December 31, 2013 and to material costs for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company recorded adjustments to decrease inventories by $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, increase inventories by $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, and decrease inventories by $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 to reconcile the recorded amounts to those physically counted and costed in connection with the annual count.
Dosteon inventories consist primarily of raw materials and totaled $5.4 million and $8.0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Such inventories were determined on the basis of physical counts performed as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. As discussed in Note T, Dosteon inventories are included in assets held for sale as of December 31, 2014.
CARES inventories consist primarily of finished goods and totaled $0.9 million and $1.1 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Products & Services Segment
Segment inventories consist primarily of finished goods at its distribution centers as well as raw materials at fabrication facilities, and totaled $38.9 million and $37.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Finished goods include products that are available for sale to third party customers as well as the Company’s Patient Care Segment as described above. Such inventories were determined on the basis of perpetual records.
Business Combinations
The Company records tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company typically pays cash and issues a Seller Note as purchase consideration. It may also include contingent consideration with payment terms associated with the achievement of designated collection targets of the acquired business. Amounts paid for each acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition inclusive of identifiable intangible assets. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets are based on detailed valuations performed internally or by external valuation specialists that use information and assumptions provided by management. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. Significant management judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, particularly acquired intangible assets, including estimated useful lives. The valuation of purchased intangible assets is based upon estimates of the future performance and discounted cash flows from the acquired business. Each asset acquired or liability assumed is measured at estimated fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Subsequent changes in estimated fair value of contingent consideration are recognized as “General and administrative expenses” within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from purchased businesses. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the reporting units may not be recoverable. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company determines that a two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary or more efficient than a qualitative approach, it will measure the fair value of the Company’s reporting units using a combination of income and market approaches. Any impairment would be recognized by a charge to income from operations and a reduction in the carrying value of the goodwill.
Prompted by a significant decline in the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock following the Company’s announcement on February 26, 2016 of its de-listing from the NYSE, management engaged a third party valuation firm to prepare the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2016. Based on the preliminary results of this first step test, management has made a preliminary assessment that it is more likely than not that the Company may record a material non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter of 2016 or the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company has not concluded that it has a goodwill impairment or the amount of the impairment, if applicable. In connection with the preparation of its 2014 consolidated financial statements, the Company performed a similar first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2014, and has concluded there was no impairment of goodwill as of that date.
We use income and market approaches to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not required. The second step, if required, compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The fair value of a reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
The fair value of acquired customer intangibles is estimated using an excess earnings model. Key assumptions utilized in the valuation model include pro-forma projected cash flows adjusted for market-participant assumptions, forecasted customer retention curve, and discount rate. Customer intangibles are amortized, using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of ten to fourteen years. The fair value associated with trade names is estimated using the relief-from-royalty method. These assets, some of which have indefinite lives, are primarily included in the Products & Services segment. Indefinite lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances occur which indicate the carrying value might not be recoverable. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives of one to ten years. The fair value of non-compete agreements are estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The related intangible assets are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their term which ranges from two to five years. Other definite - lived intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives of up to seventeen years.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the respective carrying amounts and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized in future years. Interest and penalties, when applicable, are recorded within the income tax provision. Significant accounting judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related consolidated balance sheet accounts.
The Company believes that its tax positions are consistent with applicable tax law, but certain positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. In addition, the Company is subject to periodic audits and examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and other state and local taxing authorities. In these cases, the Company records the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company records the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. If not paid, the liability for uncertain tax positions is generally recorded as a reduction of income tax expense at the earlier of the period when the position is effectively settled or when the statute of limitations has expired. Although the Company believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Company has recorded valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets, and accordingly, the Company may record additional valuation allowances in future periods. Increases to the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period recorded, whereas future releases of the valuation allowance, if any, would result in a reduction of income tax expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Identified below are recent accounting pronouncements that are either expected to have more than a minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operation, or that we are still assessing to determine their impact. A complete list of recent accounting pronouncements is included under “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note C — “Significant Accounting Policies” contained in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-7, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, which include interest cost and prior service cost or credit, among others, are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, including interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-4 , Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step Two from the goodwill impairment test. Step Two measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under this standard, an entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us in fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted beginning in 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash . This ASU provides guidance on presenting restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are to be included in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the changes during the period, while separately identifying the changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, including interim periods and will require a retrospective transition. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will add restricted cash into the cash and cash equivalent totals on the statement of cash flows. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company held $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of restricted cash balances which were presented within Other Current Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-9, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2017. We anticipate the primary impact of adopting ASU 2016-9 will be the recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies resulting from our stock awards to be included in our provision for income taxes, whereas previously these amounts were taken directly to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, these amounts are required to appear in the statement of cash flow under operating activities, whereas previously these amounts were reported as financing activities. We do not anticipate any impact to our classification of awards as either equity or liabilities. Upon adoption, we will need to elect to either estimate the number of awards that we expect to vest, or recognize future forfeitures as they occur.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) . The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting for lease accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases that extend beyond twelve months. The asset and liability will initially be measured at the present value of the lease payments. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2019 and will be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the quantitative effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. It is anticipated that there will be an increase to assets and lease liabilities for existing property leases representing our nationwide retail locations that are not already included on our balance sheet through failed sale-leaseback accounting treatment. It is also anticipated that lease payments reported in other operating costs and general and administrative expenses will be reduced and that depreciation and amortization will increase. In addition, cash payments representing the principle portion of the lease liability will be reported as a financing activity, and payments representing interest and variable items will be reported as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. Currently the Company recognizes the full lease payment as an operating expense. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing hundreds of leases that this applies to and quantifying the amounts involved.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740); Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires that all deferred income tax assets and liabilities be presented as noncurrent in the statement of financial position. The
pronouncement is effective for our fiscal 2017 consolidated financial statements, with early application permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in deferred income taxes previously reported as a current asset to be reported as a non-current asset.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-5, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If an arrangement includes a software license, the accounting for the license will be consistent with other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a license, the arrangement will be accounted for as a service contract. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2016 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-3, Interest —Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . This ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction to the debt liability. This standard was subsequently modified in August 2015 with the issuance of ASU 2015-15, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements , which clarifies that the treatment of debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit may continue to be deferred in an asset position and subsequently amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. Both ASUs are effective on January 1, 2016 for the Company, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of these standards will result in certain debt issuance costs to be moved from a non-current asset to a reduction of the associated “long-term debt” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This ASU provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The FASB issued additional related ASU’s providing guidance on principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations and the implementation guidance for licensing. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial adoption. The new standard will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to our consolidated financial statements, accounting systems and controls will be when adopting this new guidance. The evaluation includes comparing our existing accounting policies, including the timing of revenue recognition under various revenue streams. Depending on the results of our evaluation, there could be changes to the classification and timing of recognition of revenues and related costs. The Company is also evaluating which transition method to select.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-8, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . This ASU changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations to include a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Entities are required to provide additional disclosures about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale but do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The ASU is effective prospectively for all disposals or classifications as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning January 1, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning on January 1, 2015.

Material costs, personnel costs and other operating costs reflect expenses we incur in connection with our delivery of care through our clinic locations and other patient care operations, or distribution of products and services, and exclude expenses incurred in connection with general and administrative activities. General and administrative expenses reflect expenses we incur in the general management and administration of our businesses that are not directly attendant to the operation of our clinics or provision of products and services.
Due to the substantial amount and increase in the expenses we incur for professional accounting and legal services, we separately reflect this category. We have incurred increases in these expenses primarily in connection with the Restatement, the Investigation and in connection with our accounting and remedial activities associated with the Material Weaknesses. We currently anticipate that these expenses will remain significant in comparison to a normal level of expenditure at least through 2017.
During the years 2012 through 2014, our operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue were as follows:

Patient care clinics reflect locations that are licensed as a primary location to provide O&P services and which are fully-staffed and open throughout a typical operating week. To facilitate patient convenience, we also operate satellite clinics. These are remote locations associated with a primary care clinic, utilized to see patients and are open for operation less than a full-time basis during a typical operating week.

The increase in net revenue for the year ending December 31, 2014 was principally the result of a $42.1 million increase in revenue related to patient care acquisitions completed in 2014 and the benefit of having a full year effect of acquisitions completed during 2013. The Company also benefited from $5.8 million increase in net revenue from clinics which we consider to be non-comparable to their prior year operations due to the effects of clinic consolidations. These increases in net revenue were partially offset by a decline in same clinic revenues of $13.2 million, or 1.7%. This decline in same clinic revenues related directly to a significant increase in disallowed revenue in 2014 as compared with 2013. As discussed above, in 2014, the Company’s net revenues were adversely affected by increases in the portion of revenue being disallowed by payors of our health care claims. These disallowances arose primarily due to decreases in our effectiveness in the administrative tasks associated with determining eligibility, documenting and preparing claims for submission to payors. A key contributing factor to our decline in the performance of these duties in 2014 related to difficulties we encountered in connection with our implementation of a new patient management and electronic health record system within our Patient Care segment in 2014 (please refer to the discussion regarding “new systems implementation” above). Due to these difficulties, the Company halted its implementation process at the conclusion of the third quarter of 2014 after the system had
been installed at approximately one third of its clinic locations. In addition to this decrease in same clinic revenue, net revenue in our Patient Care segment also decreased by $0.8 million due to a decline in our CARES business. In our Products & Services segment, growth of $7.5 million in the sales of componentry through our distribution business was partially offset by a decline of $5.1 million in our therapeutic services line of business in 2014 compared to 2013, resulting in overall growth of $2.4 million in 2014 compared to 2013. The 2014 decline in our therapeutic services line of business was primarily the result of a sale of $6.6 million in equipment in 2013 that did not recur in 2014.
Material costs . Material costs for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $324.3 million, which reflected an increase of $22.3 million, or 7.4%, over $302.0 million for the same period in the prior year. Our material costs by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, were as follows (dollars in millions):

Material costs increased in our Patient Care segment primarily due to the effect of acquisitions. Increases in material costs on a percent of net revenue basis relate primarily to increased levels of disallowed revenue in 2014 as compared with 2013. Excluding the effect of disallowed revenue, when comparing the material costs to adjusted gross revenue, the Company’s material costs increased to 29.6% of adjusted gross revenue in 2014 as compared to 29.0% in 2013. This increase in material costs relative to adjusted gross revenue relates primarily to there being an increased mix of orthotic products and services being provided in 2014 as compared to 2013. Orthotic devices generally have a higher material costs to revenue rate than prosthetic devices. Increased material costs related to the Products & Services segment relate to the increased sales through our distribution line of business.
Personnel costs . Personnel costs for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by $27.8 million to $353.6 million from $325.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our personnel costs by operating segment were as follows (dollars in millions):

Personnel costs for the Company’s Patient Care segment increased by $26.6 million, or 9.5%, as compared to those reported in 2013. This growth related to increases in staffing associated with clinics acquired in 2014, increases in clinic support staffing, increases in average compensation and increases in contract labor totaling $23.1 million. We additionally increased our personnel costs by $4.9 million associated with the implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system and to commence the establishment of its centralized revenue cycle management operations. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $1.3 million in bonus and commission expenses and other decreases of $0.1 million. Increases in clinic support personnel primarily relate to increases in daily workload associated with patient documentation, the implementation of the new system and claims submission activities. Within our Products & Services segment, we had relatively consistent staffing levels in 2014 as compared with 2013, and increases in the personnel costs of this segment primarily related to increased rates of compensation.
Other operating costs . Other operating costs, which are comprised primarily of facilities costs, bad debt, office-related expenses and reimbursable employee expenses, increased by $21.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 to $136.9 million from $115.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The most significant increase in our other operating costs related to an increase in our
bad debt expense, which grew to $11.6 million in 2014 as compared with $5.0 million in 2013, reflecting an increase of $6.6 million. Bad debt expense was 1.1% of adjusted gross revenue in 2014 compared to 0.5% in 2013. This increase related primarily to the increased reimbursement issues described previously as well as the unfavorable effects of our implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system. Additionally, our other operating costs increased due to: (i) $6.7 million due to growth in our facility costs, (ii) a $2.2 million charge associated with the impairment of CARES property plant and equipment related to our planned discontinuance of the business in 2015, (iii) a $2.2 million charge associated with an adverse product purchase commitment and (iv) $3.5 million in other office-related expense increases. Increases in facility costs and office-related expenses arose in part due to the effect of the Company’s acquisitions.
General and administrative expenses . General and administrative expenses increased by $7.6 million, or 9.7%, in 2014 as compared to the prior year. Increased personnel compensatory costs, including taxes and benefits, related primarily to increased staffing associated with the Company’s accounting and IT functions, contributed to $2.5 million of this growth in general and administrative expenses. The Company also incurred a $2.5 million increase in contract labor, primarily to address staffing needs in accounting and financial reporting. Other factors contributing to increased general and administrative expenses were: (i) increased technology expenses of $0.9 million associated with the implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system, (ii) increased facility costs of $1.6 million due to an increase in rent expense and increases in utilities and property taxes on leased properties and (iii) increases in other expenses of $0.1 million.
Professional accounting and legal fees . Due to its Restatement and financial accounting remediation processes, the Company incurred a substantial increase in the fees that it paid for professional accounting and legal services relating to 2014. These fees increased by $39.0 million during 2014. We recognize the cost related to our independent audits in the year to which the audit work pertains. Accordingly, the majority of the costs incurred in 2014 relate to the audit of the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K. In connection with our Restatement of prior periods, our Material Weaknesses, our research and reconstruction of prior accounting records, our preparation of the 2014 consolidated financial statements and the Investigation performed in connection with our accounting difficulties, we incurred substantial additional expenses for legal and accounting professionals which we estimate totaled $97.5 million during the period of 2014 through 2016. Although the majority of these professionals assisted us in facilitating our completion of our 2014 consolidated financial statements, these expenditures were incurred and will be reported during 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 in which these services were rendered and affected our cash flow from operations in those subsequent periods.
Depreciation and amortization . Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $38.9 million versus $34.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was principally due to the Company’s implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system, which contributed $1.9 million to the total increase of $4.7 million in depreciation and amortization expense. The effect of depreciation and amortization from acquisitions contributed a further $2.3 million to these expenses.
Income from operations . Income from operations decreased by $86.3 million to $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $113.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to increases in professional accounting and legal fees of $39.0 million, the increase in disallowed revenue and bad debt expenses of $23.3 million, the increase in personnel costs associated with the Company’s establishment of a centralized revenue cycle management function and the other expense increases discussed above. While the Company did show growth in net revenue of $36.3 million during the year, this growth related primarily to the favorable effect of revenue growth from acquisitions that occurred in 2014 and 2013.
Interest expense, net . Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased to $28.3 million, compared to $30.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease resulted from the interest savings from the refinancing that occurred in the second quarter of 2013 as well as a reduction of outstanding borrowings.
Extinguishment of debt . In conjunction with our bank credit facility refinancing, in 2013, we incurred a charge of approximately $6.7 million related to the write-off existing debt issuance cost associated with our previous credit agreements. The Company undertook no refinancing activities in 2014, and there were accordingly no charges during that year.
Provision for income taxes . An income tax provision of $2.0 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $30.4 million for the same period of the prior year. This reduction in income tax was primarily due to the Company having substantially lower income from continuing operations before income taxes. Our effective tax rate was (202.9%) and 39.8% for 2014 and 2013, respectively. The 2014 effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the relatively small loss from continuing operations before income taxes and the increase in the valuation allowance on certain state loss carry forwards, which are expected to expire before utilization, partially offset by the benefit from federal research and development credits.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes . Our net loss from the discontinued operations of Dosteon during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $16.0 million, which compared to a net loss of $5.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. Included in the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $8.2 million in related impairment charges. The Company announced its intention to dispose of its Dosteon business and this line of business was recognized as a discontinued operation at December 31, 2014.
Net (loss) income . Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $19.0 million, or $(0.54) per diluted share, compared to net income of $40.5 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was primarily due to the effects of the professional accounting and legal fees, increases in disallowed revenue, losses occurred in connection with the Company’s discontinued operations and other increases in expenses discussed above.
Year ended December 31, 2013 compared with the year ended December 31, 2012
Net revenue . Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $975.8 million, which reflected an increase of $52.3 million, or 5.7%, compared to the $923.5 million in 2012. Our net revenue by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, was as follows (dollars in millions):

The increase in net revenue for the year ending December 31, 2013 was primarily the result of a $49.7 million increase in revenue related to patient care acquisitions completed in 2013 and the full year effect of acquisitions completed during 2012. The Company also benefited from a $7.2 million, or 1.0%, increase in same clinic net revenue. This rate of same clinic growth reflects the negative impact from an underlying increase in the rate of disallowed revenue in 2013 as compared to 2012. As discussed above, under the caption “Net revenue” for the Year ended December 31, 2014 compared with the year ended December 31, 2013, since 2010 the Company’s net revenues have been increasingly adversely affected by growth in the portion of revenue being disallowed by payors of our health care claims. These disallowances have arisen primarily due to decreases in our effectiveness in the administrative tasks associated with determining eligibility, documenting and preparing claims for submission to payors. Additionally, growth from acquisitions in our Patient Care segment was also offset by revenue declines of $5.9 million in our CARES business and a $0.2 million decline in the revenues we derive from our network contract management services. In our Products & Services segment, we benefited from a non-routine sale of $6.6 million in equipment in our therapeutic services line of business in 2013. This sale, coupled with $2.4 million in other growth from this line of business, offset a decline of $7.5 million in net revenue in our distribution business, resulting in net revenue growth of $1.5 million for the Products & Services operating segment. The decline we experienced in sales from our distribution business related principally to the impact of the acquisition of independent O&P providers who were past customers of the distribution unit.
Material costs . Material costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $302.0 million, which reflected an increase of $16.1 million, or 5.6%, over $285.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Material costs by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, was as follows (dollars in millions):

Increases in material costs in our Patient Care segment were principally due to effect of acquisitions. Although these costs were equivalent as a percentage of the Company’s net revenue in 2013 as compared with 2012, they declined slightly after taking into account the increased rate of disallowed revenue we experienced in 2013 as compared with 2012. This slight decrease in relative costs related primarily to changes in our product mix. In 2013, the portion of our revenue that related to orthotic devices decreased to 45% from 46% in 2012. Orthotic devices generally have higher relative material costs rate to revenue than prosthetic devices. During the year, we experienced a decrease in the material costs related to the Products & Services segment due primarily to the decline in third party sales discussed above.
Personnel costs . Personnel costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased by $26.8 million to $325.8 million from $299.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our personnel costs by operating segment were as follows (dollars in millions):

Personnel costs for the Company’s Patient Care segment increased by $26.5 million, or 10.5%, compared to those reported in 2012. These increases were primarily the result of our acquisitions, coupled with growth in average compensation and increases in contract labor, which added $19.7 million to the expenses for this segment. Additionally, our benefits and taxes increased at a faster rate than our personnel costs. In our Patient Care segment, we experienced a $6.8 million, or 17.4%, increase in benefits and taxes. This growth was in part due to the implementation of an increase in our 401(k) match, an increase in workers’ compensation claims and an increase in our medical plan costs. In our Products & Services segment, decreases in the staffing of our distribution business partially offset other employee compensation growth for this segment. Our total products and services staff decreased by approximately 3.8% as compared to the prior year.
Other operating costs . Other operating costs, which are comprised primarily of facilities costs, bad debt, office-related expenses and reimbursable employee expenses, were $115.7 million in 2013, which reflected a $4.9 million, or 4.4%, increase over the $110.8 million incurred in 2012. During 2013, expenses for rent and utilities increased by $6.0 million and our technology and telecommunications related expenses increased by $1.4 million. These increases primarily related to the effects of the Company’s acquisitions. The Company additionally incurred an increase of $0.6 million, or 13.6%, in its bad debt expenses. The factors which caused our bad debt expenses to increase are discussed more fully above under the caption “Net revenue” for the Year ended December 31, 2014 compared with the year ended December 31, 2013. These expense increases were partially offset by a decrease in third party service costs of $1.6 million, general liability insurance and property taxes of $0.9 million and other office related expenses of $0.6 million.
General and administrative expenses . During 2013, our general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.5 million, or 3.1% to $78.7 million compared to $81.2 million in 2012. This decrease was primarily driven by a $5.5 million decrease in bonus and other incentive compensation and $0.5 million in decreases related to facilities costs. These decreases were partially offset by $3.5 million in increased salaries, benefits and payroll taxes associated with increases in the Company’s staffing in corporate functions.
Professional accounting and legal fees . Professional accounting and legal fees increased by $0.9 million, or 18.4%, in 2013 to $5.8 million, compared to $4.9 million in 2012. This increase related primarily to increased legal fees incurred in connection with the Company’s initial review and responses to the inquiries the SEC made with respect to certain of the Company’s accounting policies regarding inventories and accounts receivable allowances.
Depreciation and amortization . Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $34.2 million compared with $32.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This $1.6 million, or 4.9%, increase was primarily due to the effects of the Company’s 2012 acquisitions, which accounted for approximately $1.2 million in increased depreciation and amortization expense during that year.
Income from operations . Income from operations increased by $4.5 million to $113.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $109.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the earnings contributions of the Company’s acquisitions completed during 2013 and the favorable full-year effects of acquisitions completed in 2012. As
discussed above, clinic acquisitions contributed to a $49.7 million increase in revenue during 2013 compared with 2012. This increase was offset by increases in personnel and other operating costs, professional accounting and legal fees, and depreciation and amortization.
Interest expense, net . Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by $4.0 million to $30.6 million, compared to $34.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted from the interest savings from the refinancing that occurred in the second quarter of 2013 as well as a reduction of outstanding borrowings.
Extinguishment of debt . In conjunction with our bank credit facility refinancing in 2013 we incurred a charge of approximately $6.7 million related to the write-off existing debt issuance cost associated with our previous credit agreements. The Company undertook no refinancing activities in 2012 and, accordingly, there were no charges during that year.
Provision for income taxes . An income tax provision of $30.4 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $26.2 million for the prior year. This increase in the income tax provision was primarily due to increases in liabilities for uncertain tax positions and interest recorded in 2013. Our effective tax rate was 39.8% and 35.2% for 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes . Our net loss from the discontinued operations of Dosteon during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $5.4 million, which compared to a net loss of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Net income . Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased to $40.5 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $48.0 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase in loss from discontinued operations.

Material costs, personnel costs and other operating costs reflect expenses we incur in connection with our delivery of care through our clinic locations and other patient care operations, or distribution of products and services, and exclude any expenses incurred in connection with general and administrative activities. General and administrative expenses reflect expenses we incur in the general
management and administration of our businesses that are not directly attendant to our operation of our clinics or provision of products and services.
Due to the substantial expenses we incurred for professional accounting and legal services, we separately reflect this category. We have incurred increases in these expenses primarily in connection with the Restatement, the Investigation and in connection with our accounting and remediation activities associated with the Material Weaknesses. We currently anticipate that these expenses will remain significant at least through 2017.
Due to the increasing rate of disallowed revenue experienced during the periods encompassed by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, to assist in evaluating the comparability of the Company’s expense trends, the following table provides our adjusted gross revenue, disallowed revenue and net revenue for each year, as well as our expenses as a percentage of adjusted gross revenue (dollars in millions, unaudited).

Three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013
Net revenue . Net revenue for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 increased $23.9 million, or 9.4%, to $278.9 million compared to $255.0 million for the same period of 2013. This net revenue increase was driven by an $18.9 million, or 8.8%, increase in sales in the Patient Care segment as well as a $5.0 million, or 12.4% increase in net revenue in the Products & Services segment. The $18.9 million increase in Patient Care segment net revenue was due principally to an $11.3 million increase from clinics acquired during 2014. Within the Company’s Hanger Clinic operations, same clinic sales grew by $8.3 million, or 4.2%, during the quarter. A decline in net revenue from the Company’s CARES business and other lesser factors offset these increases by $1.8 million. Growth in Products & Services segment net revenues was primarily the result of stronger sales from the Company’s distribution line of business, which contributed $3.6 million of the $4.9 million increase in this segment. The remainder related to growth in the Company’s therapeutic services business.
Material costs . Material costs for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 were $86.4 million, which reflected an increase of $8.6 million, or 11.1%, from $77.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2013. Material costs as a percentage of net revenue increased to 31.0% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared with 30.5% in the prior year period. The Company had a favorable decrease of $4.4 million in disallowed revenue during the December 2014 quarter compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding the effects of disallowed revenue, the Company’s material costs increased to 29.0% of adjusted gross revenue compared with 28.0% in the prior year period. We believe this increase primarily relates to a change in product mix within our Patient Care segment towards orthotics products, which have a higher relative material costs than prosthetic devices. Additionally, growth in the revenue of our distribution business also contributed to a significant portion of our material cost growth and had a corresponding adverse effect on our material costs as a percentage of adjusted gross revenue.
Personnel costs . Personnel costs for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 increased by $9.8 million to $93.5 million from $83.7 million in the same period of the prior year. This increase in personnel costs primarily related to increases in costs within our Patient Care segment, which contributed to $9.0 million of this expense growth. Of the $9.8 million increase, we incurred a $6.7 million increase in salaries, benefits and taxes. In addition to growth due to merit increases, the Company’s salary costs also grew due to the effect of additional personnel from the acquisitions we completed in 2014. Additionally, we substantially increased our use of temporary labor in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the increased administrative demands we experienced associated with our implementation of the new patient management and electronic health
record system in 2014, and to offset the effects of employee turnover in clinic support personnel. Costs associated with use of these additional resources increased by $2.8 million compared with the prior year. Our bonus, commission and other costs contributed to the remaining growth of $0.3 million in personnel expenses.
Other operating costs . Other operating costs, which are composed primarily of facility costs, bad debt expense and office-related expenses, increased $8.0 million, or 29.1% to $35.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 compared to $27.5 million for same period in the prior year. Approximately $3.9 million of this increase arises primarily from increased rent, utilities and other occupancy costs related to acquisitions we completed during the year. During the quarter, office-related expenses increased by $2.5 million, also primarily due to the effect of acquisitions. For the three month period ended December 31, 2014, our bad debt expense increased by $0.9 million to $2.5 million, compared with $1.6 million in the prior year period. During the fourth quarter, we also incurred $0.7 million associated with the impairment of property and equipment of our CARES business in connection with our decision to discontinue this line of business.
General and administrative expenses . During the three month period ended December 31, 2014, our general and administrative expenses were $22.4 million compared with $21.8 million for the three month period ending December 31, 2013, reflecting an increase of $0.6 million, or 2.8%. The primary contributing factor to this increase related to the expansion of our corporate office space during the fourth quarter of the year. We chose to increase our space primarily due to the increased administrative demands associated with our financial accounting remediation, initial establishment of a centralized revenue management cycle function, and financial statement preparation related activities.
Professional accounting and legal fees . We experienced a substantial increase in the fees we incurred for professional accounting and legal fees in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of the prior year. These fees were $19.8 million for the three month period ending December 31, 2014 compared with $1.2 million in the prior year period. We recognize the cost related to our independent audit in the year in which their audit services relate, and most of this increase related to these audit costs. Since the Restatement and financial accounting remediation process began in the third quarter of 2014, substantially all of the increase in professional accounting fees are recognized in the third and fourth quarters of 2014. The fees for other professional accounting and legal firms who performed services in connection with the Company’s financial accounting remediation and the Investigation, are recognized primarily in periods subsequent to 2014, at the time the services were provided.
Depreciation and amortization . Depreciation and amortization for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 was $10.0 million, which reflected an increase of $1.5 million, or 17.6%, compared with the $8.5 million reported during the same period in the prior year. Of this amount, $0.4 million of the increase related to increased depreciation expense associated with the commencement of its use of our new patient management and electronic health record system in our Patient Care segment during 2014. In addition to the effects of capital expenditures, the remainder of this increase also relates to the effects of acquisitions completed during the course of the year.
Income from operations . Income from operations decreased $23.2 million, to $11.3 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $34.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. This decrease primarily related to the $18.6 million increase in professional accounting and legal fees, as well as increased staffing and facilities costs, in part due to the adverse effects of the implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system as well as the onset of cost increases associated with the establishment of the Company’s revenue cycle management function and expansion of its corporate facilities space to accommodate increased administrative and financial statement remediation demands.
Interest expense, net . Interest expense increased to $7.2 million from $6.3 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 compared with the prior year period. This increase was due to increased borrowings on the Company’s revolving line of credit during the three month period ended December 31, 2014 compared with the prior year period.
Provision for income taxes . The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $1.3 million, or 31.7% of income from continuing operations before taxes, compared to a provision of $13.1 million, or 46.5% of income from continuing operations before taxes, for the three month period ended December 31, 2013. The effective tax rate consists principally of the 35% federal statutory tax rate in addition to state income taxes, less permanent tax differences.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes . Our net loss from the discontinued Dosteon operations during the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $6.2 million, compared to a net loss of $3.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013. Included in the net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $4.4 million in related impairment charges.
Net (loss) income . Net income decreased $15.4 million, to a net loss of $3.4 million, for the three month period ended December 31, 2014, from net income of $12.0 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2013.
Three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013
Net revenue . Net revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 was $261.7 million, which reflected an increase of $8.5 million, or 3.4%, over the $253.2 million reported for the third quarter of 2013. Net revenue from our Patient Care segment
increased by $12.8 million, or 6.3%, during the period. This growth was the result of a $10.9 million favorable effect from acquisitions completed during 2014 and, to a lesser extent, the effect of us having a full year of operation of acquisitions completed during 2013. Within our Patient Care segment, we also benefited from revenue growth of $2.0 million associated with clinics which we do not include in our same clinic classification due to the effect of clinic consolidations, from our network management business and from our CARES business. These increases were partially offset by a $1.5 million, or 0.8%, decrease in same clinic sales during the quarter. Decreased same clinic net revenue related primarily to the Company’s increased rate of disallowed revenue associated with the adverse effects of our implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system. During the quarter, our disallowed revenue grew to $19.9 million compared with $15.9 million during the same period in the prior year, an increase of $4.0 million, or 25.2%. Net revenue growth of $12.8 million in our Patient Care segment was partially offset by a $4.3 million decline in our Products & Services segment. This decrease in revenue related primarily to the effects of a $6.2 million sale of equipment in our therapeutic services business during the third quarter of 2013. We received a total of $6.6 million from this non-routine sale in 2013, of which $0.4 million was recognized in the second quarter of that year. Excluding the effect of this item, our Products & Services segment grew by $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013, primarily due to growth in our distribution line of business.
Material costs . Material costs for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 were $86.2 million, which reflected an increase of $7.3 million from $78.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. Material costs as a percentage of net revenue increased from 31.2% in the third quarter of 2013 to 32.9% in the third quarter of 2014. On an adjusted gross revenue basis, material costs grew from 29.3% to 30.6% for each of these two respective periods. This increase was primarily the result of a change in our mix of products towards orthotics products, which carry a higher relative material costs than compared to our prosthetic devices. Additionally, the sales of our distribution business grew at a greater rate than did our patient care business. Since the material costs as a percentage of revenue is higher in our distribution business than in our patient care business, this greater mix of distribution sales also contributed to our higher relative materials cost rate as a percentage of net revenue.
Personnel costs . Personnel costs for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 were $89.1 million compared with $82.1 million in the prior year period. This reflected an increase of $7.0 million, or 8.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2013. This increase related entirely to growth in the personnel costs within our Patient Care segment and was comprised of a $3.9 million increase in salaries, a $2.4 million increase in cost of benefits and payroll taxes and a $0.7 million increase in contract labor and other costs within that segment. In addition to compensatory increases associated with annual employee merit increases, our salary costs grew due to the effects of our acquisitions in 2014. Increases in our benefits and payroll taxes outpaced our growth in salaries, and were a significant contributing factor to the overall increase in our personnel costs as a percentage of net revenue, which grew from 32.4% to 34.0%. Finally, increases in contract labor costs relate primarily to our augmentation of clinic staff to support the increased demands associated with the implementation of our new patient management and electronic health record system, and to assist us in the management of increases in accounts receivable.
Other operating costs . Other operating costs were $34.6 million during the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $6.0 million, or 21.0% from the third quarter of 2013. Other operating costs are comprised of facility costs, bad debt, office expenses and other expenses which are directly attendant to the delivery of our products and services through our clinic operations and other lines of business. The largest contributing factor to our increase in other operating costs was our allowances for bad debt expense which grew to $4.6 million for the three month period ending September 30, 2014 compared with $1.7 million for the same period in 2013. This reflected an increase of $2.9 million. The increase related primarily to the difficulties we encountered in managing our growing accounts receivable balances during 2014. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2014, we incurred a $1.5 million property and equipment impairment associated with our CARES business. Finally, during this period, primarily due to the effects of acquisitions, we experienced an increase of $1.6 million in our facility rents, utilities, occupancy and office costs.
General and administrative expenses . General and administrative expenses were $21.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. This compares with $19.1 million for the same period in the prior year and reflects a $2.7 million, or 14.1%, increase in these expenses. The increase was primarily due to a $1.8 million growth in office related, travel and education expenses. Additionally, general and administrative salaries and compensatory costs increased by $0.3 million and contract labor increased by approximately $0.6 million compared with the prior year period.
Professional accounting and legal fees . Professional accounting and legal fees were $21.0 million for the three month period ending September 30, 2014 compared with $1.7 million during the same period of the prior year. This substantial growth relates to our increased independent auditor costs incurred in 2014 as noted above. Since the Restatement and financial accounting remediation process began in the third quarter of 2014, substantially all of the increase in professional accounting fees are recognized in the third and fourth quarters of 2014. The fees for other professional accounting and legal firms who performed services in connection with the Company’s financial accounting remediation and the Investigation, are primarily recognized in periods subsequent to 2014, at the time the services were provided.
Depreciation and amortization . Depreciation and amortization for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 was $9.8 million, which reflected an increase of $1.3 million, or 15.3%, compared with the $8.5 million reported for the same period in the prior year. Of this amount, $0.5 million related to increased depreciation expense associated with the Company’s commencement of
its use of the new patient management and electronic health record system in our Patient Care segment during 2014. In addition to the effects of capital expenditures, the remainder of this increase also relates to the effects of acquisitions completed during the course of the year.
(Loss) income from operations . Income from operations decreased $35.1 million, to a loss of $0.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to income of $34.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease primarily related to increased professional accounting and legal fees of $19.3 million, increases in disallowed revenue and bad debt expense totaling $6.9 million and other increases in expenses in excess of our growth in revenue.
Interest expense, net . Interest expense increased $0.4 million, to $7.3 million, for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, compared to $6.9 million, for the same period in the prior year. This increase related primarily to increased borrowings on the Company’s revolving line of credit and an increase in the amount of outstanding Seller Notes issued in connection with the Company’s acquisitions during the three month period ended September 30, 2014 compared with the prior year period.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes . The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $10.1 million, or 124.1% of loss from continuing operations before taxes, compared to a provision of $9.8 million, or 35.8% of income from continuing operations before taxes, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The effective tax rate consists principally of the 35% federal statutory tax rate in addition to state income taxes, less permanent tax differences. The higher rate in the third quarter of 2014 was largely driven by our recording of the benefit for the period at the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes . Our net loss from the discontinued operations of Dosteon during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $10.8 million. This compares with a net loss of $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Net (loss) income . Net income decreased $24.3 million, to a loss of $8.8 million, for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. This decrease in net income related primarily to the increases in professional accounting and legal fees, disallowances and bad debt expense, and other expense growth in excess of our increases in revenue.
Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013
Net revenue . Net revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 were $255.6 million as compared with $253.7 million during the same period in the prior year. This reflected a $1.9 million, or 0.7%, increase in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of the prior year. This growth in net revenue was primarily the result of a $1.6 million increase in the net revenues reported from our Products & Services segment, as the net revenue of our Patient Care segment was roughly equivalent to the prior year period with just $0.3 million, or 0.2%, in net revenue growth. The Patient Care segment benefited from a $10.1 million increase in revenue during the quarter which related to acquisitions completed in 2014 as well as from the year-over-year effect of acquisitions completed in 2013. Additionally, we benefited from approximately $1.7 million in net revenue growth derived from increases in net revenue at facilities which we do not consider to be comparable with the prior year period due to their being a part of consolidations and relocations with other clinics. This growth of $11.8 million was offset by an $11.9 million, or 5.9%, decline in our same clinic revenues. This decline in same clinic revenue was primarily the result of increases in disallowed revenue of $10.6 million, and weakness in our underlying volume growth. As discussed above, during 2014 we experienced significant increases in disallowed revenue compared with prior year periods in part due to implementation issues we encountered with our new patient management and electronic health record system. Separately, within our Products & Services segment, $1.6 million in net revenue growth was primarily the result of $2.1 million growth within our distribution business. Our therapeutic services business experienced a $0.5 million decline compared with the second quarter of 2013, due in part to the recognition of $0.4 million in revenue during the second quarter of 2013 related to a sale of equipment. We recognized a total of $6.6 million in revenue from this equipment sale, of which, $6.2 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2013. Excluding the prior year effect of this sale, revenue from our therapeutic services business during the second quarter of 2014 was roughly equivalent to the prior year period.
Material costs . Material costs for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 were $81.1 million, which reflected an increase of $3.8 million from $77.3 million reported for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. Our material costs increased from 30.5% of net revenue during the second quarter of 2013 to 31.7% during the second quarter of 2014. When excluding the effects of disallowed revenue, material costs as a percentage of adjusted gross revenue were consistent during the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014. Disallowed revenue increased to $23.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $13.3 the same period of 2013. This increase in material costs relative to revenue related both to the higher relative growth rate of our distribution business compared with our Patient Care segment, as well as to our higher relative amount of orthotic revenue within our Patient Care segment. Generally, our distribution business has a higher relative rate of material costs to revenue than our patient care line of business, and our non-prosthetic revenue bears a higher relative material cost to net revenue than our prosthetic devices revenue. These two shifts in relative business mix resulted in an overall increase in the amount of our material costs to net revenue and adjusted gross revenue.
Personnel costs . Personnel costs for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 were $88.7 million compared with $82.8 million in the prior year period, which reflected an increase of $5.9 million, or 7.1%. All but $0.4 million of this expense growth related to our Patient Care segment. Growth in our total personnel costs was comprised of $5.9 million of increases associated with salaries,
benefits and payroll taxes, and a $1.2 million increase in our use of contract labor within our clinic operations. These increases were partially offset by approximately $1.2 million in decreased bonus, commission and other personnel expenses. Increases in salaries, benefits and taxes related primarily to our annual merit increases and to our increased staffing resulting from acquisitions. Increases in contract labor arose due to our efforts to augment clinic support staff in order to assist with increased burdens associated with accounts receivable growth and the implementation of our new patient management and electronic health record system.
Other operating costs . Other operating costs grew by $5.7 million, or 19.9%, to $34.4 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2014 compared with $28.7 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2013. This growth primarily related to increases in office expenses of $2.5 million and increases in our rent, utilities and other occupancy costs of $1.9 million. Increases in office and facility-related costs were primarily associated with the effect of acquisitions. Separately, our bad debt expense increased from $1.3 million during the second quarter of 2013 to $2.5 million during the second quarter of 2014. As discussed above, in connection with the new systems implementation in our Patient Care segment, and due to other adverse reimbursement factors, the Company experienced a significant increase in bad debt expense during 2014 as compared with the prior year period.
General and administrative expenses . During the second quarter of 2014, our general and administrative expenses were $22.5 million, which compared to $21.2 million reported during the second quarter of the prior year. The majority of this $1.3 million, or 6.1%, increase was the result of a $1.4 million increase in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes, which related to our annual merit process as well as increases in our general and administrative staffing. Additionally, we incurred $0.6 million in increased contract labor costs, primarily associated with our augmentation of corporate accounting functions. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in facility and other office-related expenses.
Professional accounting and legal fees . Professional accounting and legal fees grew by $1.1 million during the three month period ending June 30, 2014 compared with the same period in the prior year. This increase brought these expenses to a total level of $2.6 million during the second quarter of 2014 as compared with $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2013. This increase related to increased professional accounting costs incurred during the quarter.
Depreciation and amortization . Depreciation and amortization expenses were $9.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 compared with $8.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. This $1.0 million, or 11.4%, increase related primarily to increased depreciation associated with the Company’s commencement of its use of the new patient management and electronic health record system during 2014, which contributed to $0.5 million of the increase. In addition to the effects of capital expenditures, the remainder of this increase also relates to the effects of acquisitions completed during the course of the year.
Income from operations . Income from operations decreased to $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $33.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a reduction of $16.9 million, or 50.6%. This decrease was primarily the result of increased disallowed revenue and bad debt of $11.9 million, and increases in the Company’s cost structure that grew at a rate greater than its revenue growth.
Interest expense, net and debt extinguishment costs . Interest expense decreased by $1.5 million, to $7.1 million, for the three month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $8.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was related primarily the result of the Company’s refinancing of its bank credit facility during the second quarter of 2013. This refinancing enabled the Company to reduce its cost of borrowings. Additionally, in connection with this refinancing, the Company incurred $6.6 million in debt extinguishment costs during the second quarter of 2013 which did not occur in 2014.
Provision for income taxes . The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $10.8 million, or 115.2% of income from continuing operations before taxes. This compared to $6.7 million, or 36.8% of income from continuing operations before taxes, for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate consists principally of the 35% federal statutory tax rate in addition to state income taxes, less permanent tax differences. The higher rate in the second quarter of 2014 was largely driven by our recording of the benefit for the period at the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes . Our income from the discontinued operations of Dosteon during the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $4.6 million. This compares with a net loss of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Net income . We reported net income of $3.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2014, which reflected a reduction of $8.0 million compared with the net income of $11.2 million we reported for the comparable period in 2013. The decrease related primarily to the Company’s increase in disallowed revenue and bad debt, as well as other expense growth in excess of increases in our revenue.
Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013
Net revenue . Net revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 increased by $2.1 million, or 1.0%, to $215.9 million compared to $213.8 million for the same period of 2013. Of this amount, $1.9 million of the increased revenue related to our Patient Care segment, and $0.2 million related to our Products & Services segment. Net revenue in our Patient Care segment grew by approximately $9.8 million due primarily to the favorable effects of acquisitions completed in 2014 as well as the full year favorable effect of acquisitions we completed in 2013. This was offset by an $8.1 million, or 4.9%, decline in same clinic net revenue. During
the quarter, we incurred a $6.5 million increase in disallowed revenue compared to the first quarter of 2013. This weaker yield on adjusted gross revenue contributed greatly to our decreased same clinic revenue results. During 2014 we experienced increases in the portion of our revenue that was disallowed for reimbursement by payors due to the reimbursement factors discussed above, and due to the adverse effects of our implementation of a new patient management and electronic health record system in our Patient Care segment. Within the $0.2 million of revenue growth we reported in our Products & Services segment, our therapeutic services business grew by $0.8 million, while net revenue from our distribution business declined by $0.6 million, compared with the first quarter of 2013.
Material costs . Material costs for the three month period ended March 30, 2014 were $70.6 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 3.8%, from the $68.0 million reported for the same period in 2013. This increase related to growth in the material costs of our Patient Care segment in 2014. When compared with net revenue, our material costs increased from 31.8% to 32.7% during the first quarter of 2014 compared with the first quarter of 2013. Excluding the effects of disallowed revenue, when compared with adjusted gross revenue, our material costs remained at 30.0% both in the first quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2013.
Personnel costs . Personnel costs for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 were $82.2 million, which reflected an increase of $5.1 million, or 6.6%, compared with the same period in 2013. $5.1 million of this increase related to growth in the personnel costs within our Patient Care segment. In total, our personnel costs grew by $4.5 million due to increases in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes. These increases related both to our annual merit increase programs as well as increased staffing associated with the effects of acquisitions. Additionally, our contract labor costs grew by $1.0 million, primarily due to our efforts to augment our clinic support staff as they contended with increased payor documentation and accounts receivable demands. These increases were offset slightly by decreases in our bonus and commission expenses of $0.4 million.
Other operating costs . For the three month period ending March 31, 2014, our other operating costs were $32.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 3.9%, compared with the $31.1 million we incurred in the first quarter of 2013. This increase related primarily to an increase in our bad debt expense, which grew from $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2013 to $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2014. This growth was partially offset by a decrease in our rent, utilities and other occupancy costs of $0.3 million.
General and administrative expenses . During the first quarter, our general and administrative expenses grew by $3.1 million, or 18.8%, to $19.6 million. We incurred $16.5 million in general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2013. The increase primarily related to $1.5 million in increased office and other general expenses and $1.2 million related to an increase in our rent, utilities and other occupancy costs. We also incurred a $0.4 million increase in costs associated with our use of contract labor.
Professional accounting and legal fees . During the first quarter of 2014, our professional accounting and legal fees were essentially consistent with the level we incurred during the first quarter of 2013. We incurred $1.5 million in these costs during the three month period ending March 31, 2014 and $1.4 million during the same period in the prior year.
Depreciation and amortization . Depreciation and amortization expenses were $9.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared with $8.4 million for the prior year period. The increase of $0.9 million, or 10.7%, in depreciation and amortization expenses related primarily to the commencement of the use of our new patient management and electronic health record system during 2014, which contributed to $0.4 million of the increase. In addition to the effects of capital expenditures, the remainder of this increase also related to the effects of acquisitions completed during 2013.
Income from operations . Income from operations decreased to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to income of $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a total reduction of $10.9 million or 96.5%. This decrease was primarily the result of increased disallowed revenue and bad debt of $8.0 million.
Interest expense, net . Interest expense decreased by $1.9 million from the prior year period, to $6.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. This decrease related primarily to the favorable effects of the refinancing of our bank credit facilities in the second quarter of 2013. This refinancing enabled the Company to reduce its cost of borrowings.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes . The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.1 million, or 0.3% of loss from continuing operations before taxes. This compared to a provision of $0.8 million, or 33.3% of income from continuing operations before taxes, for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The effective tax rate consists principally of the 35% federal statutory tax rate in addition to state income taxes, less permanent tax differences. The lower rate in the first quarter of 2014 was largely driven by our recording of the benefit for the period at the estimated effective rate, offset by a valuation allowance against certain state loss carry forwards in this interim period.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes . Our net loss from the discontinued operations of Dosteon during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $3.7 million compared to a breakeven by these operations during the first three months of 2013.
Net (loss) income . We reported a net loss of $10.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared with a net income of $1.8 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The $11.8 million decline was driven primarily by increases in our rates of disallowed revenue and bad debt expense, an increase in our losses associated with our discontinued operations, and other cost growth.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In this section, we provide a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2016, as well as information regarding certain events that impacted our liquidity and capital resources since December 31, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2014, we had working capital of $184.4 million, which compared to $188.5 million and $191.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Our working capital decreased by $4.1 million in 2014 due to the following factors which had a significant underlying bearing on the current assets and current liabilities which comprise our working capital. During 2014, due primarily to issues we encountered in the implementation of our new patient management and electronic health record system, and due to other issues discussed above affecting our ability to achieve timely reimbursement, our accounts receivable increased to $174.2 million as of December 31, 2014 as compared with $154.7 million as of December 31, 2013. This increase was a direct result of slower rates of collection associated with delays in the timeliness of our appeals of payor denials, a lack of coordinated collections efforts on accounts receivable for locations which were affected by the systems implementation, the lack of timely cash posting, and other related administrative items. These balances are net of our allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts, which also increased as compared with the prior year due to the issues discussed above. Additionally, current assets increased due to an increase of deferred tax assets to $109.3 million as of December 31, 2014 as compared with $75.6 million as of December 31, 2013 primarily related to allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts, accrued expenses, and inventory. With respect to our current liabilities, as of December 31, 2014, we had $91.8 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, which compares with $44.4 million as of December 31, 2013. This increase relates primarily to the accrual of certain professional fees in 2014 as discussed above. Another factor in the increase in current liabilities is an increase in the current portion of long-term debt to $26.9 million as of December 31, 2014 from $17.7 million as of December 31, 2013, primarily resulting from larger scheduled Credit Agreement and Seller Notes payments due in 2015 as compared to 2014. These items had largely offsetting impacts to our working capital as of December 31, 2014. The decline in our working capital in 2013 as compared with 2012 related primarily to an increase in trade accounts payable, an increase in the current portion of scheduled payments with respect to our outstanding term loans compared to the current portion of scheduled payments in the prior year, and an increase in estimated refunds expected to be paid to third party payors, offset by an increase in deferred tax assets.
To finance our operations and provide for capital expenditures, our immediate source of liquidity is our cash and investment balances and any amounts we have available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. If we are not compliant with our debt covenants in any period, absent a waiver or amendment of our Credit Agreement, we may be unable to access our revolving balances and be constrained in our access to short-term capital. At December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.7 million and the Company had $126.4 million undrawn availability under our $200 million revolving credit facility.
Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) is a calculation that approximates the average number of days between the billing for our services and the date of our receipt of payment. This computation can provide a relative measure of the effectiveness of our billing and collections activities. For the periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, our DSO was 54, 51 and 49 days, respectively. The increase over these three years primarily related to the changes in our reimbursement environment and the adverse effects of our implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system in 2014. Additionally, it is important to note that the Company experienced an even more pronounced increase in its underlying accounts receivable before allowances during this period. Accounts receivable before allowances reflect our receivables prior to reduction for our allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts, which are amounts of our billings that we do not expect to collect. This growth related primarily to the reimbursement and systems implementation factors described above. These trends indicate that the Company experienced a significant increase in the amount of its capital that was invested in accounts receivable during this three year period, and experienced corresponding decreases in its cash flow from operations as discussed further below.
Sources and Uses of Cash
For the period ended December 31, 2014, we received $49.6 million in net cash flows from operating activities. This reflected a decline of $27.4 million, or 35.6%, in cash flows from the $77.0 million amount we generated for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was due primarily to lower earnings in addition to a $19.9 million increase in the amount of our cash consumed for the purposes of accounts receivable during 2014 as compared with 2013. This increase in accounts receivable related to the growth in our accounts receivable balances associated with the reimbursement and systems implementation issues discussed above. Separately, although we incurred the expense of our audit in 2014, our payments for those services occurred in periods subsequent to 2014, and the Company received a corresponding benefit of $36.8 million in its working capital and net cash flows provided by operating activities.
During the period ended December 31, 2014, we used $66.5 million for investing activities, which reflected a $36.9 million increase over the $29.6 million we expended during the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase relates directly to our expenditure of
$38.1 million for acquisitions in 2014 as compared with $10.3 million in 2013. During 2014, we undertook twelve acquisitions, with all but one relating to companies that provided orthotics and prosthetic services in a clinical setting. This compares with nine acquisitions performed during 2013.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, we received $26.9 million in cash provided from financing activities. This related to an increase in the net borrowings we increased under our revolving credit facility during that period. This compares with a net use of cash for financing activities of $59.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as we reduced our outstanding indebtedness during that year in connection with our re-financing.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we received $77.0 million in net cash flows from operating activities. This reflected an increase of $6.2 million, or 8.8%, in cash flows from the $70.8 million we generated for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase was mainly due to a $4.4 million decrease in the amount of our cash consumed for working capital purposes in 2013 compared to 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we used $29.6 million for investing activities, which reflected a $62.1 million decrease from $91.7 million expended during the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease related directly to our expenditure of $10.3 million for acquisitions in 2013, compared to $61.4 million in 2012. During 2013, we completed nine acquisitions compared to sixteen completed acquisitions in 2012.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we utilized $59.0 million in cash from financing activities. This related to a reduction in net borrowings associated with the refinancing of our indebtedness in that year. This compares to $9.3 million of cash used for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Availability of Capital as of December 31, 2016
Since December 31, 2014, due to the delay in our ability to prepare and provide financial statements to our lenders, and our compliance with other covenants, we have found it necessary to seek a number of amendments to our debt agreements, and to undertake the refinancing of certain of our indebtedness. These changes to our indebtedness are disclosed in Note O — “Long-Term Debt,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements (“Note O”), and we provide additional discussion regarding the effects of these changes, and our current liquidity, in this section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Current Liquidity and Capital Obligations
At December 31, 2016 we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.0 million and $94.9 million undrawn availability under our $118.3 million revolving credit facility.
For covenant purposes, our Credit Agreement, as amended and effective as of August 1, 2016, we define liquidity as being comprised of cash and cash equivalents available to us in our bank accounts, which differs from our financial statement presentation, in that it does not reflect reduction for un-cleared checks and related items, which amounted to $11.8 million as of December 31, 2016. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2016, we had $17.8 million in cash and cash equivalents available to us in our bank accounts (a non-GAAP measure), which when coupled with our $94.9 million in available undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility, provided us with liquidity of $112.7 million for the purposes of our Credit Agreement. This compares to $148.7 million in total liquidity as of December 31, 2014, which was comprised of $22.3 million in cash and cash equivalents available to us in our bank accounts and $126.4 million in undrawn availability under our $200.0 million revolving credit facility.
In addition to our typical requirements for operating capital and capital expenditures, in the period subsequent to December 31, 2014, we have expended a significantly increased amount of professional accounting and legal fees related to the remediation of our financial statements and legal activities incurred in connection with the Restatement. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we paid $48.0 million and $26.0 million, respectively, in professional accounting and legal fees related to these activities. During 2017, to meet our financial reporting obligations, we believe it likely that we will continue to incur substantial fees for these services in connection with our financial statement preparation. We currently estimate that our cash payments for these professional fees may be approximately $44.9 million, which compares with $48.0 million that we expended for services of this kind in 2016.
Due to the substantial costs of the professional accounting and legal fees that we have been and anticipate continuing to incur in connection with our financial reporting remediation activities, and due to the status of our covenant compliance with our lenders, we halted our acquisition activity after the first quarter of 2015. As of the date of this report, we do not currently have any pending acquisitions for which we anticipate the need to expend capital.
Our capital expenditures are primarily comprised of the replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment in our clinics and other facilities, the construction of leasehold improvements, and the purchase of computer equipment and related software. In 2017, to replace certain older equipment reaching the end of its useful life, we currently believe that it may be necessary for us to expend amounts additional to our normal levels in connection with the purchase of replacement therapeutic equipment for use in our therapy
business in the approximate amount of $10.0 million. We may choose to delay or defer these or other capital expenditures in the event that business or financial conditions warrant.
Effect of Indebtedness
Within the Credit Agreement we are subject to a number of covenants, including covenants that (i) limit the relative amount of our debt as compared to Adjusted EBITDA (a “leverage ratio” limitation); (ii) provide a minimum threshold for our Adjusted EBITDA relative to our interest expense (an “interest coverage ratio” minimum); and (iii) which require us to provide audited financial statements for years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 by August 15, 2017. Due to the Restatement and our efforts to remediate misstatements we have detected in our financial records and reports, and to otherwise address our accounting policies and Material Weaknesses in controls, we have been significantly delayed in the timeliness of our financial reporting. After the filing of this report relating to the year ending December 31, 2014 and prior periods, it will be necessary for us to prepare and provide to our lenders the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 prior to August 15, 2017 in order to be in compliance with this financial reporting covenant. If we fail to meet that date, we will find it necessary to seek a further amendment or waiver from our lenders for our failure to meet that covenant.
As disclosed in Note O — “Long-Term Debt,” since December 31, 2014, we have entered into seven agreements related to our Credit Agreement that waived certain actual or potential defaults and amended various covenants and other provisions. We additionally entered into two supplemental indentures relating to our then outstanding Senior Notes. Amongst other actual or potential defaults, these waivers, amendments and supplemental indentures addressed our continuing failure to be timely in our financial statements at the times that they were entered into. To date, lenders have been willing to accommodate the Company’s filing delays and other covenant issues. Nevertheless, the Company has found it necessary to compensate its lenders for certain of these amendments and waivers through the payment of consent fees and increases in the rates of our interest. In securing these amendments and waivers relating to the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes Indenture, the Company paid $10.4 million of fees in 2016 and $6.1 million of fees in 2015 to respective lenders and Senior Note holders. Please refer to Note O — “Long-Term Debt” for further information regarding the individual waivers and amendments and the composition of fees we paid in connection with our securing these agreements.
In the event that we are unable to provide audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 by the currently prescribed covenant date of August 15, 2017, we intend to seek a waiver or amendment of our agreements with our lenders. In connection with that waiver or amendment, it may be necessary that we pay additional consent fees, or increased interest, both, or face other financial costs. Additionally, while we currently view it as unlikely, in the event of a default, our lenders have other remedies available to them, up to and including seeking a full acceleration and demand of repayment to them. In such an event, we would be compelled to seek alternative financing in the form of new indebtedness or equity securities. There can be no assurance that such instruments would be available to us, or that they would otherwise be available to us on favorable terms.
The Credit Agreement matures by its terms on June 17, 2018 and our indebtedness under the Term B Credit Agreement becomes due and payable on August 1, 2019. Due to the Company’s current position as a delayed filer of financial statements, these instruments bear rates of interest that we do not believe would constitute market rates of interest once we achieve current filing status. As of January 1, 2017, the facilities under the Credit Agreement are subject to a LIBOR margin of 5.25% per annum or a base rate margin of 4.25% per annum. Interest on the Term B Credit Agreement bears interest of 11.5% per annum. For additional information, see “Debt Related Subsequent Events” contained in Note O — “Long-Term Debt” to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As such, it is our current intention to seek the refinancing of these instruments after we achieve current filing status and once we believe that market conditions provide an opportunity for their refinancing at what we ascertain are rates of interest and other terms and conditions appropriate for our credit condition at that time. The Company cannot ascertain at this time whether it will seek to raise capital in excess of that in which it directly needs to retire its outstanding indebtedness and to pay associated financing fees. If it does determine that market and business conditions warrant at that time, it is possible that the Company may seek additional financing from which to recommence its acquisitions of orthotics and prosthetic practices, or to undertake other strategic acquisitions.
Liquidity Outlook
Provided we do not encounter a significant adverse change in our current business trends and provided we do not have an outstanding event of default under the our Credit facilities, during the next twelve months subsequent to the date of this filing, we currently believe that we will have adequate cash flow provided by our operations from which to (i) fund our operations, including continued higher levels of legal and accounting professional fees we are incurring in connection with our financial statement remediation and financial reporting processes; (ii) to meet our ordinary capital expenditure needs; and (iii) to meet our other financial obligations as they become due. In periods subsequent to the end of the next twelve months, we believe it will be necessary to consummate a re-financing as discussed above, to provide for the future capital needs of the Company. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding principal amount of debt under our Credit Agreement was $180.0 million, and under our Term B Credit Agreement was $280.0 million. Our Credit Agreement matures on June 17, 2018, and our Term B Credit Agreement matures on August 1, 2019. We intend to refinance each of these facilities prior to their respective maturities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that may or could have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, except for $3.6 million of letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2014.

Dividends
It is our policy to not pay cash dividends on our common stock and given our capital needs, we currently do not foresee a change in this policy. Certain of our agreements relating to indebtedness limit our ability to pay dividends, and we currently anticipate that these restrictions will continue to exist in future agreements that we may enter.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
In 2004, we implemented an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit plan that covers certain of our senior executives (“DB SERP”). We have engaged an actuary to calculate the benefit obligation and net benefits cost as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and utilized such to establish our benefit obligation liability.
The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligation and net benefit cost at December 31:

The average rate of increase in compensation was 3.00% at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future financial results are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2014, the interest expense arising from the $283.8 million of outstanding borrowings under both our term loan facility under our Credit Agreement and our revolving credit facility under our Credit Agreement was subject to variable interest rates, partially offset by interest income subject to variable interest rates generated from our $11.7 million of cash equivalents as of that date. As of December 31, 2014, we had $246.5 million of fixed rate debt which included our Senior Notes, subordinated Seller Notes and Financing Leases.
Set forth below is an analysis of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2014 that were sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table demonstrates the changes in estimated annual cash flow related to the outstanding balance under the revolving and term loan facilities, calculated for an instantaneous shift in interest rates, plus or minus 50 BPS, 100 BPS and 150 BPS. As of December 31, 2014, the interest rate on the revolving and term loan facilities was 2.17% based on a LIBOR rate of 0.17% and the applicable margin of 2.00%.

(1) Because the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility under our Credit Agreement are subject to a LIBOR margin of 2.00%, or 200 BPS, the 2.00% margin will serve as the floor on the applicable interest rate.
In August 2016, we entered into the Term B Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the various lenders party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent, which provides for a $280.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility under which all outstanding principal is due at maturity on August 1, 2019 and all borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 11.50% payable quarterly in arrears. Additionally, since December 31, 2014, we have entered into multiple amendments and waivers to our Credit Agreement, the most recent of which is the Fifth Amendment and Waiver, dated July 15, 2016. At the closing of the Term B Credit Agreement, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan facility and revolving facility under our Credit Agreement was 5.27% based on a weighted average LIBOR rate of 0.52% and the applicable margin of 4.75%.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The information required by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to the financial statements set forth in Item 15. “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” of Part IV of this Form 10-K.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date because of the Material Weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures which (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorization of management and the board of directors, and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate in the future.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 because of the Material Weaknesses identified below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Material Weaknesses
Control Environment
· Inappropriate Tone at the Top
Former senior management of the Company did not set an appropriate tone at the top. Specifically, the emphasis placed by former senior management on achieving or exceeding financial targets created an environment in which inappropriate accounting practices resulted in misstatements of several management estimates and accruals. By placing an inappropriate emphasis on achieving these targets, former senior management permitted a culture that did not appropriately emphasize compliance with the Company’s accounting policies and procedures and the adherence to GAAP.
· Inadequate Investment in Personnel and Managerial Oversight
We did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of knowledge, experience, and training, commensurate with the Company’s accounting and reporting requirements.
We also did not design and maintain effective controls with respect to establishing and assigning authority and responsibility over accounting operations, including the consolidation process, and the preparation and review of financial statements.
Risk Assessment
We did not design and maintain effective internal controls to identify, assess and address risks that significantly impact our financial statements or the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, our insufficient complement of personnel caused certain existing controls to become inadequate to identify and address the risk of material misstatement.
Information and Communication
We did not design and maintain effective controls to obtain, generate and communicate relevant and accurate information to support the function of internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we did not implement or maintain sufficient information systems in support of our accounting and financial reporting processes.
Monitoring
We did not design and maintain effective monitoring of compliance with established accounting policies, procedures and controls. This weakness included our failure to design and operate effective procedures and controls whose purpose is to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of the Company’s individual control activities.
The Material Weaknesses in our control environment, risk assessment, information and communication, and monitoring controls contributed to the following additional Material Weaknesses.
Control Activities
· Inventory
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for inventory. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over:
· raw materials to ensure items are priced using the FIFO method, resulting from the identification of inaccurate prices utilized in the valuation of our inventory quantities on hand based on physical observation;
· the accuracy of the stage of completion in valuing WIP, resulting from the identification of data input errors from our physical inventory observation used in the valuation of our WIP;
· certain key assumptions used in the valuation of WIP, resulting from the identification of inaccurate or imprecise data used in the development of these assumptions; and
· the existence, completeness, accuracy, valuation and presentation and disclosure of raw materials and WIP.
· Accounting for Leases
We did not design and maintain effective controls over our accounting for leases. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence, presentation and disclosure of our real property leases.
· Revenue
We did not design and maintain effective controls over our accounting for revenue. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, occurrence, and valuation of revenue.
· Accounts Receivable and Allowances
We did not design and maintain effective controls over accounts receivable and allowances. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence and valuation of amounts recorded to accounts receivable, including allowances.
· Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
We did not design and maintain effective controls over property, plant and equipment, including depreciation. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, presentation and disclosure over property, plant and equipment including, capitalized software and related depreciation expense.
· Accounts Payable and Accruals
We did not design and maintain effective controls over accounts payable and accruals. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence, and rights and obligations related to purchased goods and services and liabilities for other items, accurately reflecting the receipt of such goods or services and the related liability in the proper period.
· Account Reconciliations
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the preparation, review and approval of account reconciliations. Specifically, we did not design and maintain controls to ensure that account reconciliations were completed timely and accurately, and that reconciling items were properly resolved on a timely basis.
· Journal Entries
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the preparation and recording of journal entries. Specifically, certain recurring and non-recurring journal entries were not consistently and adequately reviewed and approved. Additionally, we did not design and maintain user access or other controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties as it relates to the preparation and review of journal entries.
· Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation and presentation and disclosure related to our accounting for business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets.
· Share-based Compensation
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, valuation and presentation and disclosure of our accounting for share-based compensation.
· Income Taxes
We did not design and maintain effective controls over our accounting for income taxes. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness, existence, accuracy and presentation of our accounting for income taxes, including the income tax provision and related assets and liabilities.
· Information Technology General Controls
We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain IT systems, which could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (i) user access controls to appropriately segregate duties and adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications and data to the appropriate Company personnel, (ii) effective controls to monitor, document and approve data changes, and (iii) effective controls related to monitoring of critical jobs.
These Material Weaknesses resulted in material adjustments to the 2014 financial statements and the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, June 30, 2014 and 2013, and September 30, 2013. Additionally, these Material Weaknesses could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
Remediation Plans
Since the end of 2013, under the oversight of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors, we have been, and continue to be, actively engaged in the design and implementation of remedial measures to address the Material Weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to improving our internal control processes and resolving our control deficiencies, including the Material Weaknesses we have presented above, and will continue to review our effectiveness in accomplishing this critical objective.
To date, we have taken and continue to take the actions described below to address the identified Material Weaknesses. Our remediation efforts are ongoing. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may implement additional measures or modify the remedial actions described below, as considered appropriate, to remediate our Material Weaknesses.
Control Environment
· Inappropriate Tone at the Top
In our efforts toward remediation of our Material Weakness associated with an inappropriate tone at the top, we are implementing or intend to undertake the following:
· Our Chief Executive Officer has implemented changes to the Company’s management structure and to its senior leadership team. In particular, he has overseen changes in the leadership, size and qualifications of the Company’s accounting team.
· We have made changes to the leadership of our accounting organization, including the hiring of a new Chief Financial Officer, a new Principal Accounting Officer and a new Corporate Controller.
· We have established a new Chief Compliance Officer position reporting directly to our Chief Executive Officer.
· To ensure that our executive officers, operational personnel and accounting group fully understand the Company’s commitment to establishing an effective control environment, we have undertaken communications that establish our expectations regarding employees acting in accordance with our code of conduct, our expectations regarding internal controls and applicable accounting standards and financial reporting requirements. In connection with this, in addition to our annual compliance training, we have conducted a number of in-depth special training courses for the Company’s entire accounting group, our clinic field administrative group and our senior management personnel regarding the importance of the Company establishing and maintaining an effective control environment and on our ethical and financial reporting responsibilities. Management intends to include these principles as an ongoing component of our new hire training and other employee training courses.
· Inadequate Investment in Personnel and Managerial Oversight

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires our Company’s officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our Company’s equity securities, to file initial reports of securities ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in such ownership on Forms 4 and 5 with the SEC. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to our Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we believe that all reports of securities ownership and
changes in such ownership required to be filed during 2014 were timely filed with the exception of a late Form 4 filing for one officer who sold his shares into the market.
Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors and Employees
Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors, officers and employees in accordance with NYSE corporate governance listing standards, which were also in effect in their current form as of December 31, 2014. Copies of these documents are set forth on our Company’s website, www.hanger.com.
Policy Regarding Director Nominating Process
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a policy, which was also in effect in its current form as of December 31, 2014, pursuant to which a stockholder who has owned at least 2% of our Company’s outstanding shares of common stock for at least one year may recommend a director candidate that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider when there is a vacancy on our Board of Directors either as a result of a director resignation or an increase in the size of our Board of Directors. Such recommendation must be made in writing addressed to the Chairperson of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee at our Company’s principal executive offices and must be received by the Chairperson at least 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the release of the prior year’s proxy statement. Although the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has not formulated any specific minimum qualifications that it believes must be met by a nominee that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommends to our Board of Directors, the factors it will take into account will include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills or financial acumen, diversity of viewpoint and industry knowledge, as set forth in the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s charter. There will not be any difference between the manner in which the committee evaluates a nominee recommended by a stockholder and the manner in which the committee evaluates any other nominee.
While the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy relating specifically to the consideration of diversity in its process to select and evaluate director nominees, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does consider diversity as part of its overall evaluation of candidates for director nominees. Specifically, the “Selection of Board Members” section of our Corporate Governance Guidelines provides that the selection of potential directors should be based on all the factors the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers appropriate, which may include diversity of viewpoints.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee (as used in this section, the “Committee”) of our Board of Directors, which as of December 31, 2014 consisted of Stephen E. Hare (Chair), Christopher B. Begley, Cynthia L. Feldmann and Eric A. Green, was formed in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, as amended. It is, and as of December 31, 2014 was, governed by its charter, a copy of which is available on our Company’s website, www.hanger.com. The current members of the Committee are Stephen E. Hare (Chair), Christopher B. Begley and Cynthia L. Feldmann. All the members of the Committee were, as of December 31, 2014, and currently are “independent” under the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the NYSE, which means that they did not and have not received any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from our Company other than board or committee fees, they were not “affiliated persons” of our Company and they had no relationship to our Company that may have interfered with the exercise of their independence from management of our Company. Furthermore, each Committee member was, as of December 31, 2014, and as of the current date has been, deemed by our Board of Directors to be financially literate and at least one member has accounting or related financial management expertise, as called for by NYSE listing standards. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. Hare, Mr. Begley and Ms. Feldmann are considered to be an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program
The compensation program covering our named executive officers is designed to drive our Company’s success, which will be achieved primarily through the actions of talented employees. Our executive compensation program covering named executive officers has specific primary objectives which include:
· attracting qualified and talented executives who are capable of providing the appropriate leadership to our Company;
· retaining executives who have the critical skills our Company needs to meet our strategic and operational objectives; and
· motivating our executives to drive outstanding Company performance.
These objectives reflect our belief that programs that support the attraction and retention of a highly qualified executive management team—coupled with appropriate incentive programs to motivate performance—serve the long-term interests of our investors.
Compensation arrangements for our named executive officers are designed to reward long-term commitment to our Company’s success. The following principles guide our compensation decisions:
|
Guiding Principle |
|
Hanger Philosophy / Approach |
|
|
|
|
|
Pay for performance |
|
Our compensation program is designed to align executive compensation with the Company’s overall performance and business strategy. The design of our short-term and long-term compensation programs is driven by business objectives and performance measures which we believe provide a direct link to the creation of shareholder value. We support a structural pay for performance philosophy by significantly emphasizing variable or at-risk compensation in the overall executive pay program. |
|
|
|
|
|
Facilitate alignment with shareholders |
|
Our long-term incentives are delivered in the form of equity to provide executives with a direct interest in the performance of our stock. We have adopted and implemented stock ownership guidelines for our executives which reinforce this principle. |
|
|
|
|
|
Be internally equitable |
|
Our executive compensation programs are designed to provide compensation that is fair and equitable based on the performance of the executive and the Company. In addition to conducting analyses of market pay levels, we consider the pay of the named executive officers relative to one another and relative to other members of the management team. |
|
|
|
|
|
Promote sound corporate governance objectives |
|
We seek broad compliance with all applicable legal, regulatory and financial regulations and requirements in the context of our executive compensation program. In addition, when designing and implementing our executive compensation programs, we give due consideration to the impact such programs have on shareholders and any relevant tax and accounting implications that may arise in connection with such programs. |
|
|
|
|
|
Provide leadership stability and continuity |
|
Our executive programs are designed to reward both long-term contributions to the Company, as well as attract new executive talent and reward commitment of our executives to our Company regardless of their length of service with the Company. We recognize that the stability of the leadership team enhances our business. |
|
|
|
|
|
Be competitive |
|
We regularly conduct market pay analyses to ensure the compensation we pay our executives is competitive in terms of the elements and mix of pay, program design and resulting actual levels of pay. |
|
|
|
|
|
Reflect factors of role and individual |
|
We use the information from market pay analyses and apply it to the individual situation of each of our executives to ensure we are compensating for the officer’s responsibilities and the individual’s skills and performance. |
|
|
|
|
|
Encourage long-term executive service |
|
We provide our named executive officers with tax effective savings opportunities. Our savings and retirement plans, along with a market competitive offering of other pay elements, encourage employees to join and remain at our Company. In addition, the vesting provisions established for all of our long-term incentive vehicles support this objective. |
Named Executive Officers
Based on their compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the following individuals have been identified as the named executive officers for purposes of disclosure in this Annual Report on Form 10-K:
· Vinit Asar, our President and Chief Executive Officer;
· George E. McHenry, our former Executive Vice President, Secretary, and Chief Financial Officer;
· Samuel M. Liang, our President of Hanger Clinic;
· Kenneth W. Wilson, our President and Chief Operating Officer of Southern Prosthetic Supply, Inc.; and
· Rebecca J. Hast, our President of Linkia, LLC.
Mr. McHenry retired from our Company on December 31, 2014.
Overview of Our Executive Compensation Programs
Below are the purpose and key characteristics of the elements of our executive compensation program.
Consideration of Advisory Shareholder Vote on Executive Compensation
At our Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on May 7, 2014, approximately 91% of the shares voted on the proposal were voted in support of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, including the Company’s compensation practices and principles and their implementation, as discussed and disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders. The Compensation Committee appreciates and values the views of our shareholders. In considering the results of this advisory vote on executive compensation, which included contact with various institutional investors, the Compensation Committee concluded that the compensation paid to our executive officers and the Company’s overall pay practices continue to have broad shareholder support. As a result, the Compensation Committee decided to retain our general approach to executive compensation, with an emphasis on annual and long-term incentive compensation that rewards our most senior executives when they successfully implement our business plan and, in turn, deliver value for our shareholders.
The Compensation Committee recognizes that executive pay practices and notions of sound governance principles continue to evolve. Consequently, the Compensation Committee intends to continue paying close attention to the advice and counsel of its independent compensation advisors and invites our shareholders to communicate any concerns or opinions on executive pay directly to the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors.
At the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 12, 2011, our shareholders expressed a preference that advisory votes on executive compensation occur every year. In accordance with the results of this vote, our Board of Directors determined to implement an advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next required vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation, which is currently scheduled to occur at our next annual meeting of shareholders.
As a result of the Company’s delay in filing its periodic reports with the SEC, it has not held an annual meeting of shareholders since May 2014.
Pay Setting Process
To determine competitive market pay, our Compensation Committee periodically analyzes the annual proxy statements of a peer group of companies and published survey data. In setting pay for our named executive officers, our Compensation Committee has established the target for compensation, by element and in the aggregate, as the competitive market pay median (50th percentile). Our competitive market pay median (the “Median”) is determined by averaging the in-depth peer group analysis and the published survey data. The design of our annual and long-term incentive plans provides our executives with the opportunity to exceed the Median for total direct compensation (the sum of base salary, annual bonus and long term incentives) based on Company performance. Actual compensation on a yearly basis, based on Company and individual performance, can vary widely, as our history has demonstrated.
Our Compensation Committee uses Hay Group as its primary compensation consultant on executive compensation matters and uses Willis Towers Watson plc (“Towers Watson”) for executive retirement program support. For 2014, Hay Group was paid $184,841 and Towers Watson was paid $18,086. Our Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Hay Group and Towers Watson and concluded that the work performed by each of these consultants for our Compensation Committee does not raise any conflict of interest under applicable NYSE listing standards or SEC rules.
Peer Group
Our Compensation Committee considered the pay program practices for the named executive officers of a peer group of similarly-situated publicly-traded companies. The criteria for peer group inclusion was based on a number of factors including but not limited to, organization size and scope, industry and sector competitors, business model and executive talent market.
In November 2013, our Compensation Committee approved the peer group listed below (the “2014 Peer Group”) to benchmark the overall executive pay program for our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee made the following changes to the 2014 Peer Group compared to the peer group we had used for 2013: we removed The Ensign Group, Inc. and Select Medical Holdings Corporation and added Healthsouth Corp., Healthways Inc. and LHC Group Inc. All of the companies that we removed or added are in the Health Care Facilities and Health Care Services sub-industry sectors. Our Compensation Committee believes that while not specific to the orthotics and prosthetics area of health care, the companies in the peer group reflect the range of business sectors where we are active and are of similar size to us. The sub-industry mix of these companies is 24% in Health Care Equipment, 38% in Health Care Facilities and 38% in Health Care Services. These companies have executive talent with comparable skills who our Compensation Committee believes face similar business challenges common to our industry. Our Compensation Committee believes that the 2014 Peer Group remains reflective of the market we now face and positions our executive compensation benchmarking appropriately. Subsequent to the Compensation Committee’s selection of the 2014 Peer Group, three of the component companies were acquired: Emeritus Corp. (2014), Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (2015) and Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (2015). In 2015, the Compensation Committee reviewed the companies selected for the 2014 Peer Group, excluded the three acquired companies noted previously and evaluated the remaining peer companies as well as other potential companies to ensure the 2015 peer group remains relevant to us.
The 50th percentile revenue of the 2014 Peer Group companies was $871.7 million. The median peer group revenue excludes Emeritus Corp. and Gentiva Health Services, Inc. as these companies were acquired during fiscal year 2014. Although Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. will be removed from the peer group in 2015, the median peer group revenue includes this company’s 2014 fiscal year revenue, which was available.

Our Compensation Committee reviewed and considered Hay Group’s analysis of the 2014 Peer Group pay practices for similarly situated executives to each named executive officer. Hay Group’s analysis included, but was not limited to, a review of pay levels (base salary, annual incentives, total cash compensation, long-term incentives and total direct compensation) and pay structure (allocation of pay between base salary, annual incentives and long-term incentives).
Compensation Survey Data
In addition to the 2014 Peer Group data, our Compensation Committee also considered published survey data for a broader market perspective on executive compensation pay levels and practices. We believe that an alternative lens into the executive labor market is appropriate and meaningful in that survey data provides a robust data set, can be utilized for other executives who are not named executive officers and is consistent with our holistic approach to benchmarking executive compensation. For purposes of this year’s assessment, we used Hay Group’s 2014 Industrial Total Remuneration Survey (171 industrial companies from various industries and sectors). Our Compensation Committee was provided a specific list of companies underlying the survey data, but did not select or otherwise have input on the companies participating in the survey.
Factors to Set or Adjust Pay
For each named executive officer, our Compensation Committee considers the relevant data regarding our peer group and the salary survey data. For each individual, we also focus specifically on:
· The transferability of professional and managerial skills;
· The depth of knowledge and experience in orthotics and prosthetics and related industries;
· The relevance of the named executive officer’s experience to other potential employers; and
· The readiness of the named executive officer to assume a different or more significant role either within our Company or with another organization.
The following factors are also considered in setting and adjusting pay for our named executive officers:
· The Company’s financial performance;
· The individual’s past and expected future performance;
· Peer group pay practices and broader market developments/trends; and
· Our business and people needs.
Focus on Pay-for-Performance
Our Compensation Committee sets each officer’s total direct compensation to approximate Median practices.
Consistent with our compensation philosophy and objectives, our Compensation Committee emphasizes performance-based incentive opportunities, particularly long-term incentives, over base salary when determining the mix of elements that constitute an officer’s
total direct compensation. The following tables show the targeted and actual 2014 pay mix for our Chief Executive Officer and for our other named executive officers as a group.
Determination of Pay Elements
In developing the pay programs and levels for our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee reviews peer group pay practices, survey data and other relevant benchmarks provided by the compensation consultant. Any changes to base salary and annual incentive target amounts generally become effective in March of each year.
Annually, our Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of each of the other named executive officers and shares his perspective with our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee considers this performance information in setting the pay for our named executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer. All decisions regarding any adjustment to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer are made solely by our Compensation Committee based on both competitive pay practices as well as the Compensation Committee’s assessment of his performance.
Our Compensation Committee considers previous compensation earned by the named executive officers and current Company stock holdings when making compensation decisions. We believe that our named executive officers should be fairly and competitively compensated, both for annual and long-term compensation opportunities, based on the Company’s performance and each individual’s performance.
Our Compensation Committee may meet in executive session without the presence of any member of management and/or the consultant in making its decisions regarding the compensation of any of our named executive officers.
When making any executive compensation decision, our Compensation Committee follows a deliberate, multiple-step process:
1. Information review;
2. Evaluation and deliberation; and
3. Decision making.
First, our Compensation Committee collects all essential information that may be necessary to make an educated decision from our compensation consultant, our Chief Executive Officer or other sources. Next, the Compensation Committee members discuss the information and a deliberation of possible options ensues. After discussion, the Compensation Committee takes time for reflection and, where appropriate, consultation with other members of our Board of Directors. Finally, the Compensation Committee reconvenes for additional discussion, if needed, before a final decision is made. As a result, some compensation decisions require two or more Compensation Committee meetings before any final decisions are made.
Additional information about the role and processes of our Compensation Committee is outlined in the Compensation Committee charter, which is available on the Company’s website at www.hanger.com.
Base Salary
As discussed above, our Compensation Committee targets base salary levels for our named executive officers at the Median. Currently, our named executive officers’ base salaries fall within the competitive range of the Median, which we broadly define as within 85% to 115% of the Median for each position. Individual increases to base salary are based upon several considerations, including individual performance and contributions, internal equity considerations, as well as competitive market factors and practices.
Base salary compensates a named executive officer for the individual’s competencies, skills, experience and performance. When considering a candidate for a named executive officer role, our Compensation Committee considers all of these factors. For annual adjustments to the base salary of a named executive officer, our Compensation Committee primarily considers the Median, information set forth in general industry surveys, the Company’s performance, the individual’s performance and internal equity amongst our officers. Changes in the scope of a named executive officer’s role and responsibilities could result in an adjustment being considered and approved by the Compensation Committee at any time during the year.
For 2015 base salary adjustments, our Compensation Committee considered the peer group analysis and published survey data described earlier. Our Compensation Committee increased the base salaries of our named executive officers effective March 2015 by an average of 4.38%. Individual adjustments ranged from 1% to 9.2%, based on an analysis of past individual performance as well as market adjustments given the respective base pay versus the Median for the position. Our Compensation Committee believes that these adjustments to base salary continue to position the pay of our named executive officers within the competitive range of the Median.
Short-Term Incentive Compensation
Our Compensation Committee designs the short-term incentive compensation program to motivate and reward the achievement of annual financial results and individual goals. Currently, our philosophy for short-term incentive compensation is to generally target the Median and to provide the opportunity to earn in the range of the 75th percentile compared to peer group and published survey data with the achievement of exceptional Company and individual performance. In other words, when we reach target performance for the goals discussed below, then short-term incentive compensation should be close to the Median. If our Company and our named executive officers have exceptional performance based on the established performance goals, then short-term incentive compensation should exceed the Median and could approach the 75th percentile compared to the peer group and published survey data.
In 2014, our Compensation Committee approved a new short-term incentive design intended to strengthen further management’s focus on profitable revenue growth. The new design moves from three independent financial metrics and individual operational and strategic goals to two interdependent financial metrics which are leveraged by individual operational and strategic performance. The two interdependent metrics are revenue and EBITDA, equally weighted 50%. To receive any payment, minimum thresholds must be met for both metrics. If the goals for the financial metrics are met, then the amounts actually earned are determined on the basis of individual performance against individual goals. When both financial thresholds are met, potential bonuses of up to 25% of the target amount are available. The potential bonuses increase to 100% if financial goals are achieved at the target level and 200% if the financial goals are achieved at or above the maximum levels.

(1) Actual results for 2014 were not available until the completion of our audited 2014 financial statements in May 2017. Accordingly, these are not disclosed in this table as they were not available to the Compensation Committee for purposes of determining bonuses.
Our Compensation Committee sets the performance measure targets for a given year based on the Company’s strategic budgeting and goal setting process that begins in October of the previous year and is finalized in February of the year for which the targets will apply. In the first quarter of each year, our Compensation Committee approves the specific objectives for threshold, target and maximum levels for each of the performance measures used for the short-term incentive program for our named executive officers.
In addition to these financial goals, our named executive officers have individual goals that they must achieve for their individual performance which are focused on the Company’s strategic and operational initiatives. Individual performance is measured on initiatives such as cost reductions, process improvement, business development opportunities and people initiatives. An executive’s individual objectives may be qualitative or quantitative. The individual goals are typically developed to be stretch goals that are challenging for the executive to achieve.

After year end, we assess the attainment of the performance measures for the most recently completed year for the short-term incentive program against both financial and individual goals. Typically, the final assessment of the year end results is made in February, at which time bonuses, if any, are approved for payment by March 15 th . In February 2015, we did not have final, audited financial results for the 2014 performance year, but we knew that reaching the financial thresholds for the short-term incentive plan at the enterprise and Hanger Clinic levels was not possible. On the other hand, the unaudited results for the Products & Services segment indicated results above target, which financial results would impact Mr. Wilson’s potential payout only. Given these mixed financial and individual results and the need for retention of key executives through this challenging period, our named executive officers received discretionary payouts ranging from 0% to 54% of their respective targets. The specific amounts were determined by the Compensation Committee by measuring each named executive officer’s results against their 2014 individual goals and also by taking into consideration, for Mr. Wilson, the unaudited segment results for the Products & Services segment. Prior to the Compensation Committee’s consideration of potential discretionary payouts, Mr. Asar requested of the Compensation Committee that he be excluded from consideration for a 2014 payment. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee did not consider Mr. Asar’s performance results against his 2014 individual goals, and Mr. Asar did not receive any payout.
See the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table for the short-term incentive payments for the 2014 performance period as paid to each named executive officer in March 2015.
The target and maximum annual incentive awards for 2014 expressed as a percentage of base salary for our named executive officers are included in the below table. Our Compensation Committee sets these targets for annual incentives based on the Median of the annual incentives of our peer group and published survey data provided by our compensation consultant as discussed previously. Our Compensation Committee used the same percentages of base salary for our continuing officers in the 2015 short-term incentive plan.

Our Compensation Committee also used revenue and EBITDA for the 2015 annual incentive plan.
Long Term Incentive Compensation
Long term incentive compensation opportunities are provided to our named executive officers to encourage the executives’ continued commitment to our Company by motivating and rewarding financial performance and stock price appreciation. Our Compensation Committee believes this is an important component of their pay which directly aligns the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders since amounts granted, earned and realized are dependent on actual stock price performance.
· When determining the value of individual grants, consistent with the other elements of our compensation program, our Compensation Committee considers the results of the assessment of competitive market data described above. For years prior to 2014, the Compensation Committee reviewed the appreciation of the Company’s stock price and made adjustments to the grant sizes in order to keep the grant values competitive. In 2014, the Compensation Committee adopted a formal approach to this market adjustment, using a 60 trading day average ending on the Thursday before the week of the determinative Compensation Committee meeting to convert the target dollar value of the individual grant into a number of shares. If the Company’s stock price were to change more than 10% between that Thursday and the day of the Compensation Committee meeting, then the Compensation Committee would discuss whether an adjustment to the 60 trading day average should be made. Our Compensation Committee believes that this more formal annual process of adjusting grant sizes based on recent stock value provides a more accurate competitive compensation package at the time of grant.
· In March 2015, the Compensation Committee made a slight change to this process that impacted 2015 grants. The Committee used the 60 day trailing average of the Company’s stock price, ending with the closing price on the Thursday before the week of the determinative Compensation Committee meeting to determine the stock size grants for all recipients. The Committee determined that, if the stock price were to change such that the actual grant values were more than 10% from the intended planning values (up or down), then the Committee would review whether any adjustment should be made to determine stock grant sizes.
As with the other elements of our compensation program, our Compensation Committee targets the Median of competitive market data to set our long term incentive awards with the potential to earn above the Median if the Company has exceptional performance. Our Compensation Committee also considers each individual’s performance and contributions to the Company’s performance as well as the contributions that are expected to be made in the future based on the executive’s role. Our Compensation Committee approves all grants to named executive officers.
Our Compensation Committee continued in 2014 its focus on the use of performance based restricted share units by granting 50% of the shares as performance based restricted share units and 50% as time-based restricted share units. The time-based restricted share units granted to our named executive officers vest 25% annually over four years on the anniversary of the grant date commencing on the first anniversary. The performance based restricted share units are only earned if the Company achieves the adjusted EPS performance goal established at the time of the grant and the related service conditions are met. The adjusted EPS goal for the 2014 grant was to achieve $2.15 per share for the twelve month period from January 2014 through December 2014. Our Compensation Committee created an additional incentive for the named executive officers if this adjusted EPS target was exceeded. Specifically, if the Company achieved an adjusted EPS goal of $2.25, then the named executive officers would receive 150% of their target performance based awards. In February 2015, we did not have final, audited financial results for the 2014 performance year, but we knew that reaching the EPS target for the performance based restricted share units was not possible. Therefore, the Compensation Committee determined that none of the performance based restricted share units granted in 2014 were earned.
Our restricted share unit awards are generally taxable income to the named executive officer when the award vests in the amount equal to the number of share units vested multiplied by our stock price on the vesting date. We generally receive a tax deduction in the same amount at the same time. The grants are valued as of the grant date for accounting purposes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 (“ASC 718”).
Our Compensation Committee approved the 2015 grants in March 2015 using the same 50/50 split between performance based and time-based grants with the exception of Mr. Asar who was on a 60/40 split.
Other Pay Elements
General Employee Benefits
Our Compensation Committee provides our executives, and all of our employees who qualify, with a benefits program which includes health, dental, disability and life insurance as well as a 401k savings plan with a Company match. This basic yet comprehensive approach provides our named executive officers with a broad umbrella of coverage.
Employment Agreements
Our Company has entered into employment agreements with all of our named executive officers. The agreements may provide for compensation and benefits such as:
· Base salary;
· Annual and long-term incentive opportunities;
· Benefits that are provided to all of our employees who meet the eligibility requirements;
· Various executive benefits such as a company provided automobile;
· Severance benefits; and
· Change in control severance protection which may only be triggered upon a change in control and a material change in the terms of employment or responsibilities.
Our Company currently provides no other special benefits not outlined in the agreements. In January 2012, our Compensation Committee amended the agreements to eliminate all excise tax gross-ups for executive benefits. The excise tax gross-up provisions were replaced with a provision that provides that the payments made to an executive officer under the agreement, and any other payments made in connection with the change of control of the Company, will either be capped as necessary to avoid the officer incurring any excess parachute payment excise tax or be paid in full (with the officer paying any excise taxes due), whichever places him or her in the best after-tax position.
We believe these employment agreements provide clarity as to the terms and conditions of employment as well as protect the Company’s interests through the non-compete provisions. Further, we intend for the change in control benefits to provide some economic stability to our named executive officers to enable them to focus on the performance of their duties without undue concern over their personal circumstances if there is a potential change of control of our Company.
The employment agreement of each named executive officer is described below. As discussed elsewhere in this section, Mr. McHenry retired from the Company on December 31, 2014.
Employment Agreement with Mr. Vinit Asar
The employment and non-compete agreement between the Company and Vinit Asar, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as amended and restated August 27, 2012, provides for the continued employment of Mr. Asar unless the employment agreement is terminated by either party pursuant to the terms therein.
The employment agreement entitles Mr. Asar to certain perquisites that were offered to him to complete his overall annual compensation package. These benefits include:
· Premiums for supplemental life insurance equal to two times his salary; and
· An automobile allowance in the amount of $1,250 per month and the provision of, or reimbursement for, parking of such automobile at our main office.
Mr. Asar is a participant in our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Pursuant to the agreement, his benefit under this plan is equal to 65% of his final average base salary based on the three highest years of the last five years of his employment assuming normal retirement age of 65.
Mr. Asar’s employment agreement contains a severance provision which provides that upon the termination of his employment without cause, Mr. Asar will receive severance compensation equal to 24 months of his base salary then in effect plus two years of his annual target bonus, as well as continuation of certain welfare and perquisite benefits for a period of eighteen months.

In addition, Mr. Asar will be eligible for outplacement services commensurate with those available to other senior corporate officers of the Company for a period of 24 months following such termination.
All restricted share units granted to Mr. Asar will immediately vest on the date of his termination, if such termination is by reason of his death or disability, termination without cause, a voluntary termination following the occurrence of certain material alterations or reductions which are not timely corrected by the Company, retirement upon or after age 65 or following a change in control.
Mr. Asar’s agreement also contains non-compete and non-solicitation provisions that provide that upon the termination of his employment, he will be unable to engage in any business that is competitive with the Company anywhere in the continental United States, and he will be unable to solicit any of the Company’s employees or customers for a period of 24 months.
Employment Agreement with Mr. George E. McHenry
The employment and non-compete agreement between the Company and George E. McHenry, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as amended and restated January 1, 2012, originally provided for the continuation of his employment in those positions for a period of five years, through October 15, 2016. At the time of his retirement, the agreement was being automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party. On April 7, 2014, Mr. McHenry announced his impending retirement from the Company effective at the end of 2014. At that time, the Company and Mr. McHenry entered into a Letter Agreement, dated April 7, 2014 (the “McHenry Letter Agreement”), that modified certain terms of his employment and non-compete agreement. Those modifications are described later in this section under “Termination and Change of Control Payments — McHenry Retirement.” The following discussion refers to the provisions of the employment agreement and the McHenry Letter Agreement as would apply in certain hypothetical circumstances. Information regarding the payments that Mr. McHenry received upon his actual retirement are described under “Termination and Change of Control Payments — McHenry Retirement.”
The employment agreement entitles Mr. McHenry to certain perquisites that have been offered to him to complete his overall annual compensation package. These benefits include:
· Premiums for supplemental long-term disability insurance;
· Premiums for supplemental life insurance equal to two times his salary; and
· A Company provided automobile.
Mr. McHenry is a participant in our Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.
Mr. McHenry’s employment agreement contains a severance provision which provides that upon the termination of his employment without cause, Mr. McHenry will receive severance compensation equal to eighteen months of his base salary then in effect plus one and one-half years of his annual target bonus plus continuation of his benefits for a period of eighteen months. Mr. McHenry’s employment agreement further provides that if his employment is terminated within two years after a change in control of the Company and the occurrence of a material diminution of his responsibilities, a reduction of his compensation or benefits, a relocation of his principal site of employment more than 25 miles from his then current location (unless by mutual agreement), or any material breach of his employment agreement by the Company, then within 90 days after the occurrence of any such triggering events, Mr. McHenry may resign and receive a continuation of his benefits for a period of eighteen months and severance compensation equal to eighteen months of his base pay then in effect plus one and one-half years of his annual target bonus. In addition, Mr. McHenry will be eligible for outplacement services commensurate with those available to other senior corporate officers of the Company for a period of 18 months following such termination

Retirement Benefits
Messrs. Asar and McHenry participate in the Company’s nonqualified defined benefit Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “DB SERP”). This benefit is intended to encourage and reward the long-term commitment of our named executive officers to the Company. The DB SERP is a nonqualified, unfunded plan that provides retirement benefits for executive officers and key employees of the Company as designated by the Compensation Committee. The plan contains provisions to ensure its compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. An outline of the plan provisions is included in the narrative following the Pension Benefits table.
The estimated present value of these benefits at age 65 for each of our named executive officers is shown in the Pension Benefits Table. The projected change (December 2014 versus December 2013) in the present value of this benefit is shown in the Summary Compensation Table.
In May 2013, our Board, upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, adopted the Hanger, Inc. Defined Contribution Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “DC SERP”). The DC SERP is a nonqualified defined contribution plan in which certain executive officers and other senior employees are eligible to participate. Under the terms of the DC SERP, we may credit a participant’s account with either an amount equal to a specified percentage of the participant’s base salary or a stated flat dollar amount. Although contributions are discretionary, we currently intend to contribute annually an amount to each participant’s account equal to 10-20% of the participant’s base salary. Our Compensation Committee recommended establishing the DC SERP as a means of providing a retirement benefit for certain executive officers who are not covered by the DB SERP. Messrs. Liang and Wilson and Ms. Hast are the only named executive officers currently participating in the DC SERP. The first credits under the DC SERP were made in the first quarter of 2014 and included credits for Mr. Wilson and Ms. Hast. Mr. Liang’s first credits were made in the first quarter of 2015.
Other Compensation Related Policies
Securities Trading Policy
Our Company has a policy that executive officers and directors may not purchase or sell our stock when they may be in possession of nonpublic material information. In addition, this policy provides that no director or officer may sell short or engage in transactions in put or call options relating to our securities.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Our Compensation Committee adopted formal stock ownership guidelines for the named executive officers and other key senior managers at the end of 2007, and amended those stock ownership guidelines in 2009 and 2013. These guidelines require the executives to hold a multiple of their base salary in company shares. The President and Chief Executive Officer are required to hold five times their base salary, the Chief Financial Officer and those named executive officers managing a P&L are required to hold three times their base salary, and the named executive officers in staff executive positions other than the Chief Financial Officer are required to hold one time their base salary. Individuals who are newly promoted or newly hired into a named executive officer position have up to five years to reach this level of ownership. Individuals who do not meet this requirement are subject to an evaluation by the Board of Directors to review individual circumstances, including but not limited to retirement needs.
All of the named executive officers currently serving as officers of our Company met these requirements as of December 31, 2014.
Impact of Tax and Accounting Considerations
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that publicly-held companies may not deduct, in any taxable year, compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company (other than the Chief Financial Officer) which is not “performance-based” (as defined Treasury regulations relating to that section). It is generally our intention to qualify compensation for tax deductibility under Section 162(m). Notwithstanding such intention, because of ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder, no assurance can be given that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) will so qualify. In addition, our Compensation Committee reserves the right to provide compensation that does not qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) to the extent it believes such compensation is necessary or appropriate to continue to provide competitive arrangements intended to attract and retain, and provide appropriate incentives to, qualified officers and other key employees.
Our Compensation Committee considers the impact of other tax provisions, such as Internal Revenue Code Section 409A’s restrictions on deferred compensation, and attempts to structure compensation in a tax-efficient manner for both the named executive officers and for our Company.
In adopting various executive compensation plans and packages as well as in making certain executive compensation decisions, particularly with respect to grants of equity based long-term incentive awards, our Compensation Committee considers the accounting treatment and the anticipated financial statement impact of such decisions, as well as the anticipated dilutive impact to our stockholders.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the above Compensation Discussion & Analysis with management and, based on such review and discussion, has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion & Analysis be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

(1) Mr. Liang received a sign-on bonus of $20,000.
(2) All restricted stock units vest 25% per year, commencing one year after the date of issuance. The amount reported in this column represents the aggregate grant date fair value of all time-based and performance-based awards granted during each calendar year as calculated in accordance with ASC 718. For 2014, the executives received none of the performance-based restricted stock units subject to the award; see “Grants of Plan-Based Awards”. For awards of performance-based restricted stock units, the amounts shown in the column are the grant date fair values calculated based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions on the date of grant. For 2014, the probable outcome on the date of grant was the target outcome. The value of the performance-based restricted stock units based on the probable outcome was $670,213, $173,991, $136,519 and $99,303 for Messrs. Asar, Liang, Wilson and Ms. Hast, respectively. Mr. McHenry did not receive performance-based restricted stock units in 2014. The value of the performance-based restricted stock units assuming the highest level of performance was $1,005,338, $260,987, $204,834 and $148,955 for Messrs. Asar, Liang, Wilson and Ms. Hast, respectively.
(3) The annual incentive awards for 2014 were based on 2014 performance and paid on March 13, 2015.
(4) The above amounts represent the change in actuarial present value of the accumulated pension benefit for each named executive officer who participates in our DB SERP. Details of the DB SERP are described after the Pension Benefits table below and in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section. We did not provide above-market earnings in our DC SERP, and therefore we have not included any earnings on the DC SERP in this table.
(5) For Mr. Asar, this total includes: premiums for additional life and disability insurance ($10,601), Company contributions to the Company’s defined contribution plan ($6,240), and non-business related automobile expenses ($12,773). For Messrs. McHenry, Liang and Wilson and Ms. Hast, these totals include: premiums for additional life and disability insurance, non-business related automobile expenses, Company contributions to the individual’s health savings account, and/or Company contributions to the Company’s defined contribution plan. Additionally, Mr. McHenry received a separation payment of $386,725, Mr. Liang received relocation of $50,000, and contributions were made by the Company to non-qualified deferred compensation plans for Mr. Wilson ($39,985) and Ms. Hast ($35,388).
GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS IN 2014
The following table sets forth information regarding all incentive plan awards that were granted to the named executive officers during 2014, including incentive plan awards (equity based and non-equity based) and other plan-based awards. Disclosure on a separate line item is provided for each grant of an award made to a named executive officer during the year. Non-equity incentive plan awards are awards that are not subject to ASC 718 and are intended to serve as an incentive for performance to occur over a specified period. Non-Equity Awards are prorated for changes in base salary and/or target bonus percentages that occur throughout the year.

(1) Terms of compensation under the Non-Equity Incentive Plan are discussed in detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.
(2) The restricted stock described above was awarded as performance-based restricted stock units. The restricted units were awarded on March 7, 2014 (Messrs. Asar, Wilson, and Ms. Hast), and May 19, 2014 (Mr. Liang) and vests to the extent of 25% per year, commencing one year after the date of issuance, assuming the performance condition is achieved. Release of the restrictions on this award was subject to achieving pro forma EPS targets for the performance period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 per the schedule below. Results in between Threshold and Target, and between Target and Maximum will use straight line calculations for payouts:

In February 2015, our Compensation Committee approved, based on the terms of the plan and related award agreements, payment of 0% of the target performance-based awards based on its final assessment of the Company’s preliminary financial results for 2014, which indicated that the threshold of $1.95 would not be achieved.
(3) The time-based restricted stock units detailed above were awarded on March 7, 2014 (Messrs. Asar, Wilson and Ms. Hast), and May 19, 2014 (Mr. Liang). The share price at time of award was $37.29 on March 7, 2014, and $29.50 on May 19, 2014. All restricted stock units vest 25% per year, commencing one year after the date of issuance.

The following table sets forth information on outstanding equity awards held by the named executive officers at December 31, 2014, including the number and market value of restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units that have not vested. All of Mr. McHenry’s restricted stock unites vested upon his retirement from the Company on December 31, 2014. Please see the “Option Exercises and Stock Vested in 2014” table for details.

2014 PENSION BENEFITS
The following table sets forth the actuarial present value of each named executive officer’s accumulated benefit under our DB SERP, if any, assuming benefits are paid at normal retirement age based on current levels of compensation. The table also shows the number of years of credited service under each such plan, computed as of the same pension plan measurement date used in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. Only Messrs. Asar and McHenry were participants in our DB SERP during 2014.

The DB SERP is a nonqualified, unfunded plan that provides retirement benefits for executive officers; it contains provisions to ensure its compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
Benefits accrue pro rata over the number of years (not to exceed 20) from a participant’s initial coverage by the DB SERP until the participant reaches the age of 65. The DB SERP was implemented in January 2004; credited service for the benefit accrual started at that time.
The DB SERP benefit is determined by the benefit percentage assigned by the Compensation Committee to an executive and is not primarily determined on the basis of average base compensation and years of service. The current benefit percentage for each named executive officer is: Vinit Asar—65%; George McHenry—75%.
Vesting is at the rate of 20% per year of employment with the Company. All named executive officers who are participants in the plan are fully vested.
The present value of the accumulated benefit was determined using the following assumptions, which are the same as used for financial reporting, except where noted:
· Measurement date: December 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 for amounts calculated to determine year-over-year increase in actuarial present values)
· Fiscal year end: December 31, 2014
· Discount rate: 3.34% (4.03% for present values calculated as of December 31, 2013)
· Mortality table (pre-retirement): None*
· Mortality table (post-retirement): Not applicable
· Normal retirement age for DB SERP: Age 65
· Withdrawal rates: None*
· Retirement rates: None prior to normal retirement age, 100% at normal retirement date*
· Accumulated benefit is calculated based on retirement percentage, credited service and pay as of the respective measurement dates
· Present value is the present value of fifteen years certain annuity payable at normal retirement date
* Assumes executive will not terminate, become disabled, die or retire prior to normal retirement age.
The DB SERP benefit, once calculated, is paid out annually for a fifteen year period, commencing after a participant’s retirement at age 65 from the Company, with no social security reduction or other offset. Upon the death of a participant, any unpaid vested benefits will be paid to the designated beneficiary of the participant. If a participant retires from the Company before reaching the age of 65, then the benefits of such participant under the DB SERP will be subject to a reduction for early commencement.
Upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the DB SERP, all actively employed participants will be deemed to be 100% vested and the vested, accrued benefit will be funded via a Rabbi Trust in an amount equal to the present value of the accrued benefits. Periodic payments may be made to the trust so the trust’s assets continue to equal the present value of the accrued benefits. The trust is subject to the Company’s creditors’ claims in the event of the Company’s insolvency. Alternatively, the Company may, in its discretion, pay the present value of the DB SERP in a lump sum following a change in control.
2014 NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth the contributions, earnings and aggregate balances under our DC SERP for those executive officers who participated in the plan in 2014 and received credits under our DC SERP in 2014. Messrs. Liang and Wilson and Ms. Hast are the only named executive officers currently participating in our DC SERP, and Mr. Liang did not receive any credits under the DC SERP in 2014. Messrs. Asar and McHenry do not participate in our DC SERP.

(1) Amounts included in this column are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.
(2) The Aggregate Earnings are not “above-market or preferential earnings” and are therefore not required to be reported in the Summary Compensation Table.
(3) Amounts included in this column that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table since 2014 for each named executive officer are: Mr. Wilson - $ 39,985; Ms. Hast - $35,388.
In May 2013, our Board, upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, adopted the DC SERP. The DC SERP is a nonqualified defined contribution plan in which certain executive officers and other senior employees are eligible to participate. Under the terms of the DC SERP, we may credit a participant’s account with either an amount equal to a specified percentage of the participant’s base salary or a stated flat dollar amount. Although contributions are discretionary, we currently intend to contribute annually an amount to each participant’s account equal to 10-20% of the participant’s base salary. Our Compensation Committee recommended establishing the DC SERP as a means of providing a retirement benefit for certain executive officers who are not covered by the DB SERP. The first credits under the DC SERP were made in the first quarter of 2014. Messrs. Liang and Wilson, and Ms. Hast are the only named executive officers currently participating in the DC SERP.
Unless specified otherwise in writing to a participant, a participant becomes 100% vested in his or her account upon the earlier of: (a) death; (b) disability; (c) five years of participation: (d) becoming retirement eligible (age 60 or greater with at least five years of service; or (e) if the participant’s employment is terminated upon or following a change in control and (1) the participant becomes entitled to severance benefits under any applicable employment, severance or similar agreement with the Company, or (2) within one year of the change in control, the Company terminates the participant for reasons other than cause, death, or disability, or the participant terminates employment because of the occurrence of a material diminution of his or her responsibilities, a reduction of his or her base salary or bonus plan targets, or a relocation of his or her principal place of employment more than 25 miles from his or her current location.
Benefits under the DC SERP are payable upon a termination from employment in either a lump sum or in annual installments (up to fifteen years), as previously elected by the participant, or upon death or disability as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (but in no event more than 90 days later).
TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISIONS
The following tables set forth potential payments upon any termination of employment, including resignation, other types of separation or retirement of the named executive officer or change in control of the Company, assuming the triggering event took place on December 31, 2014 (i.e., the last business day of the Company’s last completed fiscal year) and the price per share of the Company’s common stock was $21.90., which was the closing market price as of that date. To the extent that the form and amount of any payment or benefit that would be provided in connection with any triggering event is fully disclosed in the foregoing Pension Benefits table, footnote reference is made to that disclosure.
As discussed in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, our Company has entered into employment and non-compete agreements with each of our named executive officers. The agreements provide for compensation and benefits in the termination and change in control scenarios discussed in the tables below.
Mr. McHenry retired from our Company on December 31, 2014. Information regarding payments that Mr. McHenry actually received upon his retirement is included following the tables below under “McHenry Retirement”.

(1) The death benefit includes a supplemental life insurance benefit equal to 2 times base salary. Mr. Asar is also eligible for the Company’s standard life insurance.
(2) The severance benefit is equal to 2 times base salary and target bonus.
(3) This calculation is based on the accelerated vesting of all earned but unvested restricted share units, as shown on the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table.
(4) This amount reflects the present value of the additional benefit which would accrue based on providing additional credited service for the duration of any severance period. This is in addition to the present value of the DB SERP benefit as of December 31, 2014 as shown in the Pension Benefits table.
(5) Mr. Asar is not a participant in the DC SERP.
(6) This amount represents the cost of providing the continuation of certain benefits (e.g., health insurance, life and disability insurance, financial planning).
(7) Assumed value for providing outplacement services following a termination.
(8) Based on an estimated calculation, Mr. Asar’s separation payments upon termination following a change in control would trigger an excise tax payment in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Sections 280G and 4999. As a result, Mr. Asar would be in a better after-tax position by having his payment reduced by the cutback amount shown, so that the excise tax would not apply, than he would be if he received all of his payments and had to pay the excise tax.

(1) The death benefit includes a payment equal to 1.5 times base salary and target bonus (funded by key man life insurance) and a supplemental life insurance benefit equal to 2 times base salary. Mr. McHenry is also eligible for the Company’s standard life insurance.
(2) The severance benefit is equal to 1.5 times base salary and target bonus. In the event of permanent and total disability, this severance benefit is offset by disability insurance coverage.
(3) This calculation is based on the accelerated vesting of all earned but unvested restricted stock units, as shown on the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table.
(4) This amount reflects the present value of the additional benefit which would accrue based on providing additional credited service for the duration of any severance period. This is in addition to the present value of the DB SERP benefit as of December 31, 2014 as shown in the Pension Benefits table.
(5) Mr. McHenry is not a participant in the DC SERP.
(6) This amount represents the cost of providing the continuation of certain benefits (e.g., health insurance, life and disability insurance, financial planning).
(7) Assumed value for providing outplacement services following a termination.
(8) Based on an estimated calculation, Mr. McHenry’s separation payments upon termination following a change in control would not trigger an excise tax payment in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Sections 280G and 4999.
McHenry Retirement
Mr. McHenry retired from the Company on December 31, 2014. At the time that he announced his impending retirement from the Company, the Company and Mr. McHenry entered into the McHenry Letter Agreement that provided for certain terms of Mr. McHenry’s continued employment with the Company, its subsidiaries and its affiliates through the appointment of his successor and his retirement and amended his then existing employment agreement that governed the terms and conditions of Mr. McHenry’s employment with the Company and its affiliates.
The McHenry Letter Agreement provided that, until his retirement date, the Company would continue Mr. McHenry’s current salary payments, on their regular schedule, and will also continue Mr. McHenry’s employee benefits during such time. Pursuant to the McHenry Letter Agreement, the Company waived the requirement that Mr. McHenry be over 65 years old and provide one year’s advanced notice of retirement in order to be eligible for certain retirement benefits, with the result that all shares of unvested restricted stock held by Mr. McHenry continued to vest in accordance with the vesting provisions of those equity awards through his retirement date, at which time all outstanding unvested restricted share units held by Mr. McHenry vested in full. The McHenry Letter Agreement further provided that Mr. McHenry would receive as a retirement benefit a one-time payment equivalent to nine months of his base salary then in effect, plus 75% of his target bonus for 2014 (the “Retirement Payment”), which Retirement Payment was made by the Company six months and one day following his retirement date. Because Mr. McHenry retired after attaining age 62, he was entitled to receive benefits under the Company’s DB SERP. The DB SERP benefit is a pro-rated amount based on his age at retirement and his years of service through the retirement date plus an additional nine months relating to the Retirement Payment.
At the time of Mr. McHenry’s retirement, 20,458 of shares of unvested restricted stock vested in full. In March 2015, the Company paid to McHenry the Retirement Payment as defined above of $386,724. Mr. McHenry’s DB SERP benefits were paid in 2015 and 2016, and these payments are scheduled to continue for thirteen more years.
COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT
We monitor and assess periodically our enterprise risks, including risks from our compensation policies and practices for our employees. Based on our periodic assessments, we believe that risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees, including our named executive officers, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company. We believe our compensation policies and practices provide an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term incentives, encourage our employees to produce superior results for our company without having to take excessive or inappropriate risks to do so, and continue to serve the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
The compensation structure for 2014 for non-employee directors included the following:
· An annual cash retainer of $60,000 paid in four equal installments. Each director had the option to choose to receive the retainer in the form of shares of restricted stock granted under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan. If the director chooses to receive the restricted stock units in lieu of cash payments, then the value of the restricted stock units received is 110% of the cash retainer value. These shares of restricted stock have a two-year vesting cycle (one half per year).
· An annual grant of restricted stock units valued at $140,000. These units have a two-year vesting cycle (one half per year).
· A $1,000 honorarium for any committee meeting, whether attended in person or via conference call.
· A $15,000 cash retainer for the chairpersons of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee and a $10,000 cash retainer for the chairpersons of the Corporate Governance & Nominating and Quality & Technology Committees, paid at the same time as the first installment of the annual cash retainer.
· A substantial target for stock ownership by each director, in a pre-determined timeframe, has been established. Each director is expected to own $300,000 of Hanger stock within five years of joining our Board of Directors.
· Each non-employee director may choose to defer all or a portion of his or her annual restricted stock grant. At the time of deferral, the deferring director may elect to have the deferred restricted stock delivered to the director in the form of shares of common stock on or about January 15 th of the year following the calendar year in which the director’s deferral period ends.
The non-employee Chairman of the Board (Dr. Cooper) received an additional $75,000 cash retainer.
The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation received by each of our Company’s non-employee directors for their services as a director during the year ended December 31, 2014, and includes a director who served for a portion of the year but was not a director as of December 31, 2014. Mr. Kirk left the Board in May 2014. Eric Green and Patricia Shrader retired from the Board of Directors on December 17, 2015. Mr. Pettingill did not join the Board until February 2014 and Mr. Ahmad did not join the Board until August 2014.
Cynthia Lucchese joined the Board in May 2015 and Kathryn Sullivan joined the Board in December 2015. Because this section describes compensation paid to the Board of Directors in 2014, neither Ms. Lucchese nor Ms. Sullivan are included in the tables that follow.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Policies and Procedures Regarding Related Person Transactions
Our Board of Directors has adopted written policies and procedures, which were in effect in their current form as of December 31, 2014, regarding related person transactions. For purposes of these policies and procedures:
· a “related person” means any of our directors, executive officers or nominees for director, and any of their immediate family members; and
· a “related person transaction” generally is a transaction in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect interest.
The related person, or the director, executive officer or nominee who is an immediate family member of a related person, must notify our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of certain information relating to proposed related person transactions. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances available regarding the proposed related person transaction and will ratify or approve only those related person transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.
In 2014, there were no proposed, pending or ongoing related person transactions subject to review by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee under the policy.
Board Independence
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and as of the current date, our Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Board of Directors except for Vinit K. Asar, including each of the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee, were independent directors within the meaning of applicable NYSE listing standards and rules. Further, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and as of the current date, our Board of Directors had determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee qualified as “independent” under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, as amended, and that each of Messrs. Hare and Begley qualified as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the SEC’s rules. For a director to be deemed independent under NYSE rules, our Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with our Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with our Company). In addition, the director (and any member of his or her immediate family) must meet the technical independence requirements of the NYSE’s listing standards

Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) for each of the 2014 and 2013 fiscal years for professional services rendered for audit services totaled $35.1 million in 2014 and $2.2 million in 2013, including fees associated with the audit of our Company’s annual financial statements, the audit of our Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the review of financial statements included in our Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Audit Related Fees
The aggregate fees billed by PwC for the 2013 fiscal years for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of audit or review of our Company’s financial statements other than those reported in the foregoing “Audit Fees” subsection were $0.2 million in 2013. These services were primarily related to the June 2013 refinancing of our bank credit facilities and certain other agreed upon procedures.
Tax Fees
In each of the 2014 and 2013 fiscal years, PwC was not engaged to supply any professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
All Other Fees
The aggregate fees billed by PwC in 2014 for all other services were related to accounting research tools obtained by the Company. In 2013 PwC was not engaged by our Company for any products and services other than those reported in the foregoing subsections.
The following describes the Audit Committee’s policies and procedures regarding pre-approval of the engagement of our Company’s independent auditor to perform audit as well as permissible non-audit services for our Company, all of which were in effect in their current form as of December 31, 2014. For audit services, the independent auditor was to provide the Audit Committee with an engagement letter during the second calendar quarter of each year outlining the scope and cost of the audit services proposed to be performed in connection with the audit of the current fiscal year. If agreed to by the Audit Committee, the engagement letter will be formally accepted by the Audit Committee at an Audit Committee meeting held as practicably as possible following receipt of the engagement letter and fee estimate.
For non-audit services, Company management may submit to the Audit Committee for approval the list of non-audit services that it recommends the Audit Committee allow our Company to engage the independent auditor to provide for the fiscal year. The list of services must be detailed as to the particular service and may not call for broad categorical approvals. Company management and the independent auditor will each confirm to the Audit Committee that each non-audit service on the list is permissible under all applicable legal requirements. In addition to the list of planned non-audit services, a budget estimating non-audit service spending for the fiscal year may be provided. The Audit Committee will consider for approval both the list of permissible non-audit services and the budget for such services. The Audit Committee will be informed routinely as to the non-audit services actually provided by the independent auditor pursuant to this pre-approval process.
To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Audit Committee delegates to its Chairperson the authority to approve the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with fees of up to $50,000, and to amend or modify the list of approved permissible non-audit services and fees of up to $50,000. The Chairperson will report any action taken pursuant to this delegation to the Audit Committee at its next Audit Committee meeting.
All audit and non-audit services provided to our Company are required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Chief Financial Officer of our Company will be responsible for tracking all independent auditor fees against the budget for such services and report at least annually to the Audit Committee.
All of the audit and non-audit services during the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the related professional engagement periods were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, with the exception of the following. In reliance on the de minimis exception from pre-approval, the Audit Committee approved certain non-audit services that were performed without pre-approval. These non-audit services were approved later in the audit engagement period and include: (i) the Company’s use of PwC’s automated disclosure checklist for 2014 and (ii) PwC’s performance of certain 2015 inventory count related procedures. The aggregate estimated fees paid by the Company to PwC for these services were $40,020. These fees comprised less than 1% of the total fees paid by the Company to PwC for 2014 services.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Hanger, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hanger, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date. The material weaknesses related to (1) an ineffective control environment due to (a) an inappropriate tone at the top, which permitted a culture that did not appropriately emphasize compliance with the Company’s accounting policies and procedures; (b) an insufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of knowledge, experience, and training, commensurate with the Company’s accounting and reporting requirements and (c) ineffective controls with respect to establishing and assigning authority and responsibility over accounting operations; (2) risk assessment as the Company did not design and maintain effective internal controls to identify, assess and address risks that significantly impact the financial statements; (3) information and communication as the Company did not design and maintain effective controls to obtain, generate and communicate relevant and accurate information necessary for the function of internal control, including not implementing or maintaining sufficient information systems; (4) monitoring as the Company did not design and maintain effective controls to monitor compliance with established accounting policies, procedures and controls. The material weaknesses in control environment, risk assessment, information and communication and monitoring contributed to additional material weaknesses as the Company did not design and maintain effective controls over (5) the preparation, review and approval of account reconciliations; (6) the preparation, review and approval of journal entries; (7) certain information technology systems that are relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements; and (8) the accounting for (a) inventory, (b) leases, (c) revenue, (d) accounts receivable, and related accounts, (e) property, plant and equipment, including capitalized software and depreciation expense, (f) accounts payable and related accruals, (g) business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets, (h) share-based compensation and (i) income taxes. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2014 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management’s report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2013 and 2012 financial statements to correct for misstatements.
As discussed in Note O to the consolidated financial statements, pursuant to its amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to provide, among other things, audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016 by August 15, 2017. Failure to deliver these financial statements by that date would represent an event of default under the amended Credit Agreement and could trigger the cross default provisions contained in the Company’s Term B
Credit Agreement. The potential impact of such defaults and other provisions of the credit agreements are also discussed in Note O.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 (Restated), and 2012 (Restated)

NOTE B - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been restated. The consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have also been restated primarily to reflect the correction of misstatements to the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company has also corrected certain disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.
Restatement Background
During and subsequent to the preparation of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2014 (which was not filed), misstatements were identified in our previously issued consolidated financial statements. In response, an extensive accounting review was initiated by the Company, which included an investigation conducted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors into the circumstances surrounding the misstatements. This investigation concluded that, based on evidence uncovered in the investigation, it is more likely than not that certain former employees and officers, including in some instances the former Chief Financial Officer and former Chief Accounting Officer, engaged in inappropriate historical accounting practices relating to management estimates and certain accruals. Additionally, in connection with the accounting review, the Company identified numerous material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, described in further detail in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of these misstatements, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the following periods in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (the “restated consolidated financial statements”):
· As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (unaudited);
· As of and for the year ended December 31, 2013; as well as all interim periods for the year ended December 31, 2013 (unaudited); and
· For the year ended December 31, 2012;
The restated interim financial information is included in Note W - “Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited).”
Summary impact of restatement adjustments to previously reported financial information
The following tables summarize the cumulative impacts of the primary restatement adjustments on previously reported retained earnings as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. We have also presented their impact to the restated consolidated income from operations before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. After the descriptions of the restatement adjustments, full consolidated financial statement tables separately present the impact of the restatement adjustments, the reclassification of certain expenses, and the recognition of discontinued operations to the previously reported consolidated financial statements. Additionally, a separate set of tables present the individual impact of the more prominent cumulative restatement adjustments to the previously reported consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Descriptions of Restatement Adjustments
The categories of misstatements and their impact on previously reported consolidated financial statements for 2013 and 2012 annual periods are described below.
a. Inventory Valuation - The Company has identified misstatements in its historical inventory valuations. The misstatements related primarily to the valuation of work-in-process inventory (“WIP”), and included intentional misstatements that had the effect of overstating the number of items in WIP, the relative stages of completion of WIP and the overall valuation of WIP. The Company’s valuation of WIP requires the use of various estimates. Other misstatements included not reducing raw materials and WIP for vendor rebates and not ensuring inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Refer to further discussions regarding inventory valuation in Note C - “Significant Accounting Policies.” The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $10.0 million and $11.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cumulative pre-tax misstatement was a decrease to retained earnings of $61.3 million as of December 31, 2013.
b. Allowance for Disallowed Revenue and Doubtful Accounts - The historical estimates of allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts did not sufficiently consider changes to the Company’s collection experience or differentiate between payor types. When preparing its estimates, the Company inappropriately relied upon aggregate averages of prior periods’ collections experience from varying numbers of older historical periods. The Company did not timely recognize adverse changes in its collection experience, and did not consider likely write-offs of residual receivable balances, as well as consider differences in collection patterns between payor types and aging categories. Additionally, misstatements in the classification of bad debt expense have been corrected and are presented as disallowed revenue. Refer to further discussion regarding allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts in Note E - “Accounts Receivable, Net” The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $13.3 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cumulative pre-tax misstatement was a decrease to retained earnings of $28.3 million as of December 31, 2013.
c. Property, Plant and Equipment, net - During the periods covered by the restated consolidated financial statements, misstatements occurred in the Company’s accounting for property, plant and equipment. These misstatements included improper capitalization of certain labor associated with internal-use software and improper capitalization into property, plant and equipment costs that should have been expensed. The Company also found misstatements in the commencement of depreciation of its fixed assets and not recording disposals on a timely basis. Misstatements regarding leasehold improvement related items, which are recorded in property, plant and equipment in the financial statements, are included in the real property lease adjustment below. The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cumulative pre-tax misstatement was a decrease to retained earnings of $11.3 million as of December 31, 2013.
d. Real Property Leases - The Company did not properly apply real property lease accounting standards. The Company identified misstatements with respect to the determination of the proper term of its leases, establishment of proper balances for deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances, determining depreciable lives of leasehold improvements, consideration of lessee involvement in the construction of leased assets (resulting in not properly identifying certain build-to-suit arrangements, which are accounted for as financings after evaluating sale-leaseback accounting), and proper evaluation of capital lease obligations. Additionally, the Company did not properly establish and account for asset retirement obligations. The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes of approximately $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cumulative pre-tax misstatement was a decrease to retained earnings of $7.5 million as of December 31, 2013.
All Other Restatement Adjustments
e. Certain Revenue Adjustments - The Company determined that it had not properly established a liability to reserve for revenue collected from third-party payors and patients that was subject to refund in subsequent periods resulting in misstatements of net revenue. Additionally, the Company recorded purchase commissions as revenue rather than a reduction of cost of materials. The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The cumulative pre-tax misstatement was a decrease to retained earnings of $3.1 million as of December 31, 2013.
f. Revenue Accrual - The Company often invoices patients or payors after a device is delivered. To account for this delay, the Company records an estimated revenue accrual for devices delivered but not yet invoiced at period end. The Company’s historical revenue accrual estimation model did not reasonably estimate the proper cut-off related to goods delivered but not yet invoiced, resulting in misstatements of both net revenue and accounts receivable. The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $1.3 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cumulative pre-tax misstatement was a decrease to retained earnings of $3.3 million as of December 31, 2013.
g. Method of Accrual for Accounts Payable - The Company recorded an accrual for estimated accounts payable which utilized average accounts payable levels from historical periods. This model was prepared based upon when invoices were received, not when goods or services were received. This accrual method overstated the estimated amount of accounts payables outstanding at December 31, 2013 and understated the estimated amount of accounts payables outstanding at December 31, 2012. The misstatement understated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $0.2 million for the year-ended December 31, 2013 and overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The cumulative pre-tax misstatement was a decrease to retained earnings of $3.4 million as of December 31, 2013.
h. Other Profit & Loss Restatement Adjustments - There are other misstatements not otherwise described in items (a) through (g) of this Note, which are individually insignificant to previously reported income from operations before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The other misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before taxes by approximately $3.2 million and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cumulative pre-tax misstatement was a decrease to retained earnings of $22.3 million as of December 31, 2013.
i. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company identified balance sheet classification misstatements in which cash balances were overstated due to certain outstanding checks not being recognized as a reduction of cash in the period in which they were issued, which also understated other current assets. Additionally, certain cash receipts were not recorded as an increase to cash and a decrease to accounts receivable in a timely manner. Lastly, the Company misclassified restricted cash as cash and cash equivalents; restricted cash is now classified as “Other current assets.” For additional disclosure information, see Note C - “Significant Accounting Policies.” These corrections, along with the correction of other misstatements included within item (h) above, resulted in a net reduction to previously reported cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.2 million as of December 31, 2013.
j. Common Stock and APIC - The Company identified misstatements related to the incorrect application of stock compensation accounting standards. Restricted stock units with a performance condition were not expensed using the graded-vesting methodology. In addition, modifications to certain outstanding units were not recorded correctly. Restricted stock units were incorrectly recorded as share issuances on their grant date, rather than an issuance of shares on their vesting date. The cumulative misstatements understated additional paid-in capital and income from operations before taxes for multiple years by approximately $2.4 million as of December 31, 2013.
k. Income Taxes - The Company has identified certain errors in its historical accounting for income taxes, primarily related to uncertain tax positions and reconciliation of deferred tax balances. In addition, the more significant adjustments primarily relate to the income tax effects of other restatement adjustments noted above.
Other adjustments to previously reported financial information
The Company has also made certain reclassification adjustments to the previously reported consolidated financial statements. These adjustments do not relate to the correction of misstatements and are discussed in more detail below.
aa. Reclassification of Expenses - Due to increases and the resultant materiality of certain expenses in 2014, and to enable the presentation of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income to be more comparable with other health care services companies, the Company concluded that certain expenses should be reported separately in 2014. The Company reclassified prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation. For additional disclosure information, see Note C - “Significant Accounting Policies.”
bb. Discontinued Operations - On November 5, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell and/or otherwise dispose of the Company’s Dosteon distribution product group (“Dosteon”), part of its Patient Care operating segment. Dosteon is presented in accompanying consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations , ASC 360-10 Property, Plant and Equipment - Overall, and ASC 350-20 , Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Goodwill, as of December 31, 2014. The operating results and cash flows of Dosteon have been presented separately as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and the consolidated statements of cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014 and all comparable periods presented herein. As discussed in further detail in Note T - “Discontinued Operations,” assets of these businesses that were expected to be disposed of by sale are reported as “Assets held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014.
See Note T - “Discontinued Operations” for the details of our discontinued operations in 2014.
cc. Reclassification of Equipment Capital Lease Liabilities - The Company previously reported the current portion of equipment capital lease liabilities within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and the non-current portion within “Other liabilities.” The Company is now presenting lease related financing liabilities, including capital leases and financing obligations related to certain real property transactions within “Long-term debt, less current portion” and “Current portion of long-term debt,” respectively, as the balances are similar in nature to long-term debt. The 2013 equipment capital leases have been reclassified accordingly. For additional disclosure information, see Note O - “Long-Term Debt.”
Refer also to Note W - “Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)” for disclosure of the nature of the restatement adjustments and adjustment amounts on each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2014, as well as each quarterly and year-to-date period within 2013.
Consolidated financial statement adjustment tables
The following tables present the differing adjustments to previously issued consolidated financial statements from the restatement adjustments as well as the reclassification of expenses and discontinued operations. This information is presented for each impacted caption of the previously reported consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013, consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The corrections of misstatements affecting fiscal years prior to 2012 are reflected as a cumulative adjustment to the balance of retained earnings as of December 31, 2011 on the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

NOTE C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and contingencies. Although actual results in subsequent periods may differ from these estimates, such estimates are developed based on the best information available to management and management’s best judgments at the time. We base our estimates on historical experience, observable trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. All significant assumptions and estimates underlying the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are regularly reviewed and updated when necessary. Changes in estimates are reflected prospectively in the consolidated financial statements based upon on-going actual experience trends, or subsequent settlements and realizations depending on the nature and predictability of the estimates and contingencies. Interim changes in estimates related to annual operating costs are applied prospectively within annual periods.
The most significant assumptions and estimates underlying these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes involve revenue recognition and accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities (including contingencies), impairments of long-lived assets including goodwill, accounting for income taxes, business combinations, leases and stock-based compensation.
Changes in Presentation
Presentation of expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income
In previously issued consolidated financial statements, the Company presented personnel costs and other operating costs related to general and administrative activities within those entitled captions in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Commencing in 2014, the Company experienced increases in general and administrative expenses, including professional accounting and legal fees. Therefore the Company changed its presentation of these expenses within newly created captions titled “General and administrative expenses” and “Professional accounting and legal fees” on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. These changes have been reflected retrospectively and have no impact on net (loss) income from continuing operations, net (loss) income, basic net (loss) income per share, or diluted (loss) income per share. See the accounting policies below for further information regarding the types of expenses recognized in the “Personnel costs,” “Other operating costs,” “General and administrative expenses,” and “Professional accounting and legal fees” captions. See Note B - “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements” and Note W - “Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)” which presents the impacts of these reclassifications on previously issued consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Patient Care Segment
Revenues in the Company’s Patient Care segment are primarily derived from the sale of O&P devices and are recognized when the patient has received the device. At or subsequent to delivery, the Company issues an invoice to a third party payor, which primarily consist of commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Administration and Private or Patient Pay (“Patient Pay”). The Company recognizes revenue for the amounts it expects to receive from payors and patients based on expected contractual reimbursement rates, which are net of estimated contractual discounts.
These revenue amounts are further revised as claims are adjudicated, which may result in disallowances, or decreases to revenue. The Company believes that adjustments related to write-offs of receivables should predominantly be recorded as a reduction of revenues, which the Company refers to as Disallowed Revenue. This is due to the majority of the Company’s revenues being collected from commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Administration, most of which are under contractual reimbursement rates. As such, the Company believes adjustments do not relate to an inability to pay but to contractual allowances, lack of timely claims submission, insufficient medical documentation or due to administrative errors. Amounts recorded to bad debt expense, which are presented within “Other operating costs,” generally relate to commercial payor bankruptcies and private pay balances for which there was an assessment of collectability and collection attempts were made. At the end of each period, the Company establishes allowances for estimated disallowances relating to that period based on its prior adjudication experience and records such amounts as a reduction of revenue. In a similar fashion, the Company also estimates and records allowances for doubtful accounts on unpaid receivables at each period end. The Company also records a liability, with a corresponding reduction of revenue, for estimated refunds expected to be paid to its patients or third party payors.
Medicare and Medicaid regulations and the various agreements we have with other third party payors, including commercial healthcare providers under which these contractual adjustments and disallowed revenue are calculated, are complex and are subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided by the Company. Therefore, the particular O&P devices and related services authorized and provided, and the related reimbursement, are subject to interpretation and adjustment that could result in payments that differ from our estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and reimbursement schedules, and contract renegotiations, occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change materially in the short-term and any related adjustments will be recorded as changes in estimates when they become known.
For more information on the Company’s use of estimates to calculate Allowances for Disallowed Revenue and Doubtful Accounts, refer to the accounting policy for Accounts Receivable, Net below.
The Company often invoices patients or payors after a device is delivered. To account for this delay, the Company records an estimated revenue accrual for devices delivered but not yet invoiced at period end. This estimate is based on a historical look-back analysis of lag times between delivery and invoicing that occur over a period end.
Products & Services Segment
Revenues in the Company’s Products & Services segment are derived from the distribution of O&P components and the leasing and sale of rehabilitation equipment and ancillary consumable supplies combined with equipment maintenance, education, and training. Distribution revenues are recorded upon the delivery of products, net of estimated returns.
Equipment leasing and related services revenue are recognized over the applicable term as the customer has the right to use the equipment and as the services are provided. Equipment sales revenue is recognized upon delivery, with any related services revenue deferred and recognized as the services are performed. Sales of consumables are recognized upon delivery.
Material Costs
Material costs in the Patient Care segment reflect purchases of orthotics and prosthetic componentry and other related costs in connection with the delivery of care through our clinic locations and other patient care operations. Material costs in our Products & Services segment reflect purchases of orthotics and prosthetic materials and other related costs in connection with the distribution of products and services to third party customers.
Personnel Costs
Personnel costs reflect salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, contract labor, and other personnel costs we incur in connection with our delivery of care through our clinic locations and other patient care operations, or distribution of products and services, and exclude similar costs incurred in connection with activities we consider to be general and administrative in nature.
Other Operating Costs
Other operating costs reflect other costs we incur in connection with our delivery of care through our clinic locations and other patient care operations or distribution of products and services. Marketing costs, including advertising, are expensed as incurred and are presented within this financial statement caption. The Company incurred approximately $3.4 million, $3.5 million, and $3.3 million in marketing costs during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Other costs include rent, utilities, and other occupancy costs, general office expenses, bad debt expense, and travel and clinical professional education costs. Similar costs incurred in connection with general and administrative activities are excluded from this line.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses reflect expenses we incur in the general management and administration of our businesses that are not directly attendant to the operation of our clinics or provision of products and services. These include personnel costs and other operating costs supporting general and administrative functions.
Professional Accounting and Legal Fees
The Company recognizes fees associated with financial statement audits in the fiscal period to which the audit relates. All other professional fees are recognized as expense in the periods in which services are performed.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses reflect all depreciation and amortization expense, whether incurred in connection with our delivery of care through clinic locations, our distribution of products and services, or in the general management and administration of our business.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits at certain financial institutions. The Company manages this credit risk by concentrating its cash balances in high quality financial institutions and by periodically evaluating the credit quality of the primary financial institutions holding such deposits. With short maturities, the investments present insignificant risk of changes in value because of interest rate changes and are readily convertible to cash. Historically, no losses have been incurred due to such cash concentrations. Restricted cash balances are presented within “Other current assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note J - “Other Current Assets and Other Assets” for further information.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Patient Care Segment
The Company establishes allowances for its accounts receivable to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The Patient Care accounts receivables are recorded net of estimated unapplied cash, estimated Allowance for Disallowed Revenue and estimated Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, as described in the Revenue Recognition accounting policy above.
Both the Allowance for Disallowed Revenue and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts estimates consider historical collection experience by each of the Medicare and non-Medicare (commercial insurance, Medicaid, Veteran’s Administration and Private Pay) primary payor class groupings. For each payor class grouping, liquidation analysis of historical period end receivable balances are performed to ascertain collections experience by aging category. The Company believes its use of historical collection experience applied to current period end receivable balances is reasonable. In the absence of an evident adverse trend, the Company uses historical experience rates calculated using an average of four quarters of data with at least twelve months of adjudication. The Company believes the time periods analyzed provide sufficient time for most balances to adjudicate in the normal course of operations. The Company will modify the time periods analyzed when significant trends indicate that adjustments should be made. In addition, estimates are adjusted when appropriate for information available up through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.
In the restated consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its estimates of Allowances for Disallowed Revenue and Doubtful Accounts using estimates prepared as outlined above. The restatement was undertaken to correct identified misstatements in the original estimates affecting those periods in compliance with ASC 250, “ Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ,” which requires each individual prior period presented to be adjusted to reflect corrections of the
period-specific effects of the misstatements using information that would have been contemporaneously available as of each period end. Refer to further discussion in Note B - “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Products & Services Segment
The Products & Services segment’s Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated based on the analysis of the segment’s historical write-offs experience, accounts receivable aging and economic status of its customers. Accounts receivable that are deemed uncollectible are written-off to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Accounts receivable are also recorded net of an allowance for estimated sales returns.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of estimated cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first out (“FIFO”) basis. Provisions have also been made to reduce the carrying value of inventories for excess, obsolete, or otherwise impaired inventory on hand at period-end.
Patient Care Segment
Substantially all of Patient Care Segment inventories are recorded through a periodic approach whereby inventory quantities are adjusted on the basis of an annual physical count performed during the fourth quarter each year. Segment inventories relate primarily to raw materials and work-in-process (“WIP”) at Hanger Clinics, Dosteon raw materials, and CARES finished goods. Inventories at Hanger Clinics totaled $30.8 million and $35.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
In connection with the preparation of the restated consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its estimates of inventory amounts related to the Patient Care Segment using certain estimates that are discussed below. The restatement was undertaken to correct identified misstatements in the original estimates affecting those periods in compliance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , which requires each individual prior period presented to be adjusted to reflect corrections of the period-specific effects of the misstatements using contemporaneous information as of each period-end to the extent available. Refer also to further discussion in Note B - “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Raw materials consists of purchased parts, components, and supplies which are used in the assembly of O&P devices for delivery to patients. In some cases, purchased parts and components are also sold directly to patients. Raw materials are valued based on the basis of recent vendor invoices, reduced by estimated vendor rebates. Such rebates are recognized as a reduction of cost of materials in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income when the related devices or components are delivered to the patient. Approximately 51% and 80% of materials at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively were purchased from our Products & Services Segment.
WIP consists of devices which are in the process of assembly at the Company’s clinics or fabrication centers. WIP quantities were determined by the physical count of patient orders in process at December 31, 2014 while the related stage of completion of each order was established by clinic personnel. The Company does not have an inventory costing system and as a result, the identified WIP quantities were valued on the basis of estimated raw materials, labor, and overhead costs. To estimate such costs, the Company developed bills of materials for certain categories of devices that it assembles and delivers to its patients. Within each bill of material, the Company estimated (i) the typical types of component parts necessary to assemble each device; (ii) the points in the assembly process when such component parts are added; (iii) the estimated cost of such parts based on historical purchasing data; (iv) the estimated labor costs incurred at each stage of assembly; and (v) the estimated overhead costs applicable to the device.
In the restated consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, WIP was valued on the basis of physical counts performed as October 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, and then valued using corrected historical cost information for materials, labor, and overhead applied to the estimated sales value of WIP inventory, similar to the approach originally used in those periods. Raw materials were valued on the basis of recent vendor invoices. These balances were then adjusted to December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 (and subsequent interim period ends) through the use of the gross profit method, adjusted for changes in the estimated number of WIP devices on hand at the respective year-ends. In correcting the misstatements identified in prior periods, including the intentional misstatements described in Note B,
the Company determined that it lacked sufficient contemporaneous information to correct certain of the misstatements. In those cases, the Company used information as of December 31, 2014 to determine the related restatement adjustments to inventory at December 31, 2013 and to cost of materials for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company recorded adjustments to decrease inventories by $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, increase inventories by $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, and decrease inventories by $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 to reconcile the recorded amounts to those physically counted and costed in connection with the annual count.
Dosteon inventories consist primarily of raw materials and totaled $5.4 million and $8.0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Such inventories were determined on the basis of physical counts performed as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. As discussed in Note T, Dosteon inventories are included in assets held for sale as of December 31, 2014.
CARES inventories consist primarily of finished goods and totaled $0.9 million and $1.1 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Products & Services Segment
Segment inventories consist primarily of finished goods at its distribution centers as well as raw materials at fabrication facilities, and totaled $38.9 million and $37.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Finished goods include products that are available for sale to third party customers as well as the Company’s Patient Care Segment as described above. Such inventories were determined on the basis of perpetual records.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The authoritative guidance requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy by which these assets and liabilities must be categorized, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
Level 1 consists of securities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
Level 2 consists of securities for which observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs are used, such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets or quoted prices for identical securities in less active markets and model-derived valuations for which the variables are derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data; and
Level 3 consists of securities for which there are no observable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value.
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Financial Instruments
The Company holds investments in money market funds which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, $12.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of money market funds are presented within “Cash and cash equivalents” and $3.8 million and $3.7 million of money market funds which are restricted from the general use are presented within “Other current assets.” The fair values of the Company’s money market funds are based on Level 1 observable market prices and are equivalent to one dollar. The carrying value of accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying values of the Company’s outstanding term loan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $213.8 million and $222.2 million compared to their fair value of $211.7 million and $223.1, respectively. The Company has estimated their fair value based on debt with similar terms and remaining maturities as of December 31, 2014, which represent Level 2 measurements.
The carrying value of amounts outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $70.0 million and $25.0 million compared to their fair value of $69.2 million and $25.1 million, respectively. The Company has estimated their fair value based on debt with similar terms and remaining maturities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, which represent Level 2 measurements.
The carrying value of the senior notes was $200.0 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 compared to their fair value of $203.0 million and $213.3 million, respectively. The Company has determined the fair value of the senior notes based on market observable inputs and has therefore concluded these are Level 2 measurements.
The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding subordinated promissory notes issued in connection with acquisitions (“Seller Notes”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $26.6 million and $21.1 million, respectively. The Company believes that the carrying value of the Seller Notes approximates the related fair values based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservable inputs, primarily, the Company’s credit spread for subordinated debt, which represents a Level 3 measurement.
Insurance Recoveries Receivable
We incur legal and other costs with respect to a variety of issues on an ongoing basis. We record a related receivable when costs are reimbursable under applicable insurance policies, we believe it is probable such costs will be reimbursed and such reimbursements can be reasonably estimated. We record the benefit of related receivables from the insurer as a recovery of costs in the same financial statement caption in which the related loss was recognized in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Loss contingency reserves, which are recorded within accrued liabilities, are not reduced by estimated insurance recoveries.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, with the exception of assets acquired through acquisitions, which are initially recorded at estimated fair value. Equipment acquired under capital lease is recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold, retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Depreciation is computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the related assets estimated as follows: furniture and fixtures, equipment and information systems, principally five years, buildings ten to forty years, capital leases over the lease term, and leasehold improvements over the shorter of ten years or lease term. The Company records maintenance and repairs, including the cost of minor replacements, to maintenance expense. Costs of major repairs that extend the effective useful life of property are capitalized and depreciated accordingly.
We capitalize the costs of obtaining or developing internal use software, including external direct costs of materials and services and directly related payroll costs. Amortization begins when the internal use software is ready for its intended use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages, as well as maintenance and training costs, are expensed as incurred.
Business Combinations
The Company records tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. For consideration of the net assets acquired, the Company typically pays cash and issues a Seller Note. It may also include contingent consideration with payment terms associated with the achievement of designated collection targets of the acquired business. Amounts paid for each acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition inclusive of identifiable intangible assets. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets are based on detailed valuations performed internally or by external valuation specialists that use information and assumptions provided by management. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. Significant management judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, particularly acquired intangible assets, including estimated useful lives.
The valuation of purchased intangible assets is based upon estimates of the future performance and discounted cash flows from the acquired business. Each asset acquired or liability assumed is measured at estimated fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Subsequent changes in estimated fair value of contingent consideration are recognized as “General and administrative expenses” within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from purchased businesses. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the reporting units may not be recoverable. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company determines that a two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary or more efficient than a qualitative approach, it will measure the fair value of the Company’s reporting units using a combination of income and market approaches. Any impairment would be recognized by a charge to income from operations and a reduction in the carrying value of the goodwill.
We use income and market approaches to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not required. The second step, if required, compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The fair value of a reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
The fair value of acquired customer intangibles is estimated using an excess earnings model. Key assumptions utilized in the valuation model include pro-forma projected cash flows adjusted for market-participant assumptions, forecasted customer retention curve, and discount rate. Customer intangibles are amortized, using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of ten to fourteen years. The fair value associated with trade names is estimated using the relief-from-royalty method. These assets, some of which have indefinite lives, are primarily included in the Products & Services segment. Indefinite lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances occur which indicate the carrying value might not be recoverable. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives of one to ten years. The fair value of non-compete agreements are estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The related intangible assets are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their term which ranges from two to five years. Other definite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives of up to seventeen years.
Long-Lived Asset Impairment
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset group is not recoverable and is considered impaired if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The Company measures impairment as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are classified as held for sale when the applicable criteria are met, and recognized within the consolidated balance sheet at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation on such assets is ceased.
Debt Issuance Costs, Net
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s long-term debt are amortized, on a straight-line basis, which is not materially different from the effective interest method, through the maturity of the related debt instrument. Amortization of these costs are included within “Interest Expense, Net” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
The Company does not maintain a purchase order system, therefore accounts payable relating to goods or services received is estimated using various factors including payments made subsequent to period end, vendor invoice dates, shipping terms confirmed by certain vendors or other third party documentation. Accrued liabilities are recorded based on estimates of services received or amounts expected to be paid to third parties. Accrued legal costs for legal contingencies are recorded when they are probable and estimable.
Leases
The Company leases the vast majority of its patient care clinics under operating lease arrangements. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements contain renewal options, rent escalation clauses, and/or landlord incentives. Rent expense for noncancellable operating leases with scheduled rent increases and/or landlord incentives is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including any applicable rent holidays, beginning on the earlier of the lease commencement date or the date the Company takes control of the leased space.
The Company has certain building leases that are accounted for as financing transactions. In these instances, pursuant to ASC 840-40-55, “The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction,” the Company is the deemed owner of the property and, during the construction phase, the associated building assets and financing obligations are recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to construction, the arrangement is evaluated in accordance with ASC 840-40 to determine whether the arrangement qualifies as a sale leaseback. Sale leasebacks of real estate require an analysis to identify indicators of continuing involvement and other factors. If no indicators of continuing involvement are found, the lease is considered to have passed the sales-leaseback criteria and both the asset and the related financing obligation are derecognized. These leases are then assessed for classification at lease inception and reported in accordance with ASC 840.
If indicators of continuing involvement are present, these transactions do not qualify for sale accounting and are accounted for as a failed sale-leaseback. In accordance with ASC 840-40, Leases - Sale-Leaseback Transactions, the buildings and related assets, as well as their associated financing obligations, continue to be reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with the assets depreciated over their remaining useful lives. Payments required under the arrangement are recognized as reductions of the financing obligation and interest expense. At the end of the lease term, the corresponding financing obligation and the remaining net book value of the building are derecognized. When applicable, any associated gain is recognized within “Other operating costs” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in the authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the respective carrying amounts and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized in future years. Significant accounting judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related consolidated balance sheet accounts.
The Company believes that its tax positions are consistent with applicable tax law, but certain positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. In addition, the Company is subject to periodic audits and examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and other state and local taxing authorities. In these cases, the Company records the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company records the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. If not paid, the liability for uncertain tax positions is generally recorded as a reduction of income tax expense at the earlier of the period when the position is effectively settled
or when the statute of limitations has expired. Although the Company believes that its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. Interest and penalties, when applicable, are recorded within the income tax provision.
Stock - Based Compensation
The Company primarily issues restricted common stock units under one active stock-based compensation plan. Shares of common stock issued under the stock-based compensation plan are issued from the Company’s authorized and unissued shares.
The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance for stock compensation, which require companies to measure and recognize compensation expense, net of estimated forfeiture, for all stock-based payments at fair value. The Company’s outstanding awards are primarily comprised of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units. All employee stock options are fully vested as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and all associated compensation expense has been recognized in prior years. The restricted stock units are subject to a service condition or vesting period ranging from one to four years. The performance based restricted stock units include both performance and service conditions. The performance conditions are based on annual earnings per share targets.
Compensation expense associated with restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Compensation expense associated with performance-based restricted stock units is recognized on a graded vesting or accelerated basis over the requisite service period when the performance condition is probable of being achieved.
Segment Information
The Company has two segments, Patient Care and Products & Services, and descriptions of their respective businesses are provided in Note A - “The Company.” Except for the policies identified above, the two segments follow the same accounting policies as followed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company applies the “management approach” to disclosure of segment information. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis of the Company’s reportable segments. The description of the Company’s reportable segments and the disclosure of segment information are presented in Note S - “Segment and Related Information” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Discontinued Operations
We reported our Dosteon product group as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations , ASC 360-10 Property, Plant and Equipment-Overall, and ASC 350-20 , Intangibles -Goodwill and Other - Goodwill as of December 31, 2014. The operating results and cash flows of Dosteon have been presented separately as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and the consolidated statements of cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014 and all comparable periods. Proceeds from the sale of Dosteon businesses are recorded in the consolidated statement of cash flows within the “Net cash used in investing activities - discontinued operations” caption. Also included within this caption are any impairments and losses on disposal. As discussed in further detail below, assets of these businesses that were expected to be disposed of by sale are reported as “Assets held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.
See Note T - “Discontinued Operations” to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the details of our discontinued operations in 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-7, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, which include interest cost and prior service cost or credit, among others, are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, including interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-4 , Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step Two from the goodwill impairment test. Step Two measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under this standard, an entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds it fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us in fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted beginning in 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-3 , Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 232): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings. This ASU expands disclosures regarding potential material effects to the Company’s consolidated financial statements that may occur when adopting ASU’s in the future. When a company cannot reasonably estimate the impact of adopting an ASU, disclosures are to be expanded to include qualitative disclosures including a description to the effect to the company’s accounting policies, a comparison the existing policies, the status of its process to implement the new standard and any significant implementation matters yet to be addressed. This standard will generally require more disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-1 , Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, including interim periods. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-19 , Technical Corrections and Improvements. This ASU clarifies and improves ease of understanding for existing guidance under the Accounting Standards Codification by making the text more uniform and streamlined. This ASU was effective when issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 , Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU provides guidance on presenting restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are to be included in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the changes during the period, while separately identifying the changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, including interim periods and will require a retrospective transition. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will add restricted cash into the cash and cash equivalent totals on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows and change the presentation of restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note J - “Other Current Assets and Other Assets” for further information regarding the Company’s restricted cash balances.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This ASU requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The purpose of this ASU is to reduce the diversity in practice regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A retrospective transition method is to be used in the application of this amendments. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-9, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2017. We anticipate the primary impact of adopting ASU 2016-9 will be the recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies resulting from our stock awards to be included in our provision for income taxes, whereas previously these amounts were taken directly to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, these amounts are required to appear in the statement of cash flow under operating activities, whereas previously these amounts were reported as financing activities. We do not anticipate any impact to our classification of awards as either equity or liabilities. Upon adoption, we will need to elect to either estimate the number of awards that we expect to vest, or recognize future forfeitures as they occur.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2 , Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases that extend beyond 12 months. The asset and liability will initially be measured at the present value of the lease payments. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2019 and will be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements. Nonetheless, it is anticipated that there will be a material increase to assets and lease liabilities for existing property leases representing our nationwide retail locations that are not already included on our consolidated balance sheet through failed sale-leaseback accounting treatment.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-1, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us beginning on January 1, 2018 and should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that all deferred income tax assets and liabilities be presented as noncurrent in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The pronouncement is effective for our fiscal 2017 consolidated financial statements, with early application permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the reclassification of deferred income taxes currently reported as a current asset to be reported as a non-current asset.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . The amendments in this ASU allow an acquirer to recognize applicable adjustments during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This will be inclusive of the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change to provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2016, to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-12, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962) Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): (Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient . This ASU
simplifies the measurement of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be reported at contract value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016 and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . This ASU simplifies the measurement of inventory. Under this new standard, inventory should be measured using the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-7, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) . This ASU removes certain requirements related to valuing assets where fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2016 for the Company. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-5, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If an arrangement includes a software license, the accounting for the license will be consistent with other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a license, the arrangement will be accounted for as a service contract. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2016 for the Company, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standard will impact the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-4, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets. This ASU provides guidance for entities whose fiscal year-end does not coincide with a month-end. In these instances the closest month-end date may be used for valuation purposes. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 for the Company. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-3, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction to the debt liability. This standard was subsequently modified in August 2015 with the issuance of ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements , which clarifies that the treatment of debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit may continue to be deferred in an asset position and subsequently amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. Both of these ASUs are effective on January 1, 2016 for the Company. The adoption of these standards will result in certain debt issuance costs to be moved from a non-current asset to a reduction of the associated “Long-term debt” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This ASU is effective on December 31, 2016 for the Company. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The FASB issued additional related ASU’s providing guidance on principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations and the implementation guidance for licensing. The two permitted transition methods
under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date which deferred the effective date until the Company’s fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of these ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet concluded how the new standards will impact the consolidated financial statements. Depending on the results of our evaluation, there could be changes to the timing of recognition of revenues and related costs. The Company is also evaluating which transition method to select.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-8, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations to include a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Entities are required to provide additional disclosures about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale but do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The ASU is effective prospectively for all disposals or classifications as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning January 1, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning on January 1, 2015.
Other recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic per common share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per common share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and dilutive potential common shares. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based units calculated using the treasury stock method.
Our credit agreement restricts the payment of dividends or other distributions to the shareholders of the Company with respect to the parent company or any of its subsidiaries. See Note O - “Long-Term Debt” for additional information.
As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, total anti-dilutive shares amounted to 8,088, 1,939 and 37, respectively.
The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted net (loss) income per share are as follows:

NOTE E - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET
Accounts receivable are principally from Medicare and Medicaid programs and commercial insurance plans. The Company’s accounts receivables are recorded net of its contractual discounts and net of estimated Allowances for Disallowed Revenue and Sales Returns. These allowances are presented as a reduction of gross accounts receivable. The Company also records Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, which are deducted from gross accounts receivable to arrive at “Accounts receivable, net.” Accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2014, and 2013 is comprised of the following:

(1)The accounts receivables associated with the Dosteon businesses, which are recognized as discontinued operations as of each respective date of the consolidated financial statements, are not included in “Assets held for sale” because they were not a part of the disposal transaction. Therefore the associated allowances, additions, and reductions are included in the above table. Dosteon’s bad debt expense included in “Loss on discontinued operations net of income tax” in 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $2.6 million, $3.1 million, and ($0.3) million, respectively. Dosteon’s disallowed revenue included in “Loss on discontinued operations, net of income tax” for 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $14.0 million, $8.7 million, and $5.8 million, respectively.

In connection with the Company’s strategic assessment of its CARES business during the third quarter of 2014, we performed an impairment analysis of the associated long-lived tangible assets. The Company determined certain assets were not
recoverable and recorded an impairment charge of $2.2 million, which is included in “Other operating costs” and “General and administrative expenses” within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. In connection with a similar strategic assessment of its Dosteon businesses, the Company recorded other tangible long-lived asset impairments of $1.5 million in 2014 which are included in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. See Note T - “Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
NOTE H - ACQUISITIONS
During 2014, the Company acquired twelve O&P businesses consisting of 37 clinics and one distribution center for an aggregate purchase price of $52.7 million. During 2013, the Company acquired nine O&P businesses consisting of 22 clinics for an aggregate purchase price of $13.3 million. During 2012, the Company acquired sixteen O&P businesses consisting of fifty-nine clinics and one rehabilitation business for an aggregate purchase price of $83.8 million. The components of the respective aggregate purchase prices are listed in the schedule below. The acquisitions were primarily undertaken to acquire the expertise of an assembled workforce to continue to build upon the core capabilities of our strategic business platforms and brand, through the expansion of the Company’s service area or service capability to better serve our patients. Estimated fair value amounts of contingent consideration are recorded at the respective acquisition dates. Future changes to the estimated fair value of contingent consideration are recognized as income (loss) through the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed for all acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of the acquisitions and the results of their operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the effective dates of the acquisitions. The Company’s valuations are subject to adjustments as additional information is obtained; however, these adjustments are not expected to be material. The excess of purchase price over the aggregate estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The value of goodwill from acquisitions can be attributed to a number of business factors including, but not limited to, synergies associated with combining the acquired businesses with the Company’s existing business. The Company has made an election to treat the majority of these acquisitions as asset purchases for income tax purposes resulting in approximately $34.3 million, $5.0 million and $15.3 million of acquired goodwill being deductible for income tax purposes for acquisitions completed in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company incurred $1.2 million, $0.9 million and $1.2 million in acquisition-related expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively which are presented within “General and administrative expenses” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
The following table summarizes the components of the aggregated purchase price the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the above transactions and recognized at their respective acquisition dates at estimated fair values:

Included within cash paid for acquisitions on the consolidated statements of cash flows are cash payment for adjustments to working capital for acquisitions which occurred in prior fiscal years. These amounts were $0.0 million, $0.3 million, and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The majority of the intangible assets acquired relate to customer relationships. Amortizable intangible assets acquired during 2014, 2013 and 2012 had weighted-average estimated useful lives of ten, eight, and nine years, respectively.
NOTE I - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In the third quarter of 2014, as the result of the following indicators, the Company performed Step One of the goodwill impairment test. These factors included, but were not limited to, reductions in same store revenue, net income and cash flow from operations compared with prior years, the reduction in forecasted revenue, net income, and cash from operations for 2014, and a sustained decrease in the Company’s share price during the quarter. The results of this test indicated there was no impairment for any of the Company’s reporting units with goodwill.
The Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of October 1, 2014, the date of its annual assessment test. The results of this test indicated there was no impairment for any of the Company’s reporting units.
The Company performed Step One of the goodwill impairment test again as of December 31, 2014 to take into consideration the impact the restatement adjustments would have on the Company’s forecasted cash flows. The results of this test indicated there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2014. The Company could incur a material impairment in future years if the Company does not achieve its anticipated cash flows.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Patient Care segment’s Dosteon businesses met the requirements to be accounted for as assets held for sale and to be classified as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the Company allocated $8.4 million of goodwill to the businesses to be sold based upon the relative fair value of the businesses to be sold to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.
Goodwill allocated to the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

In connection with the Company’s strategic assessment of its Dosteon businesses, we performed an impairment analysis of the associated long-lived intangible assets, in the third quarter of 2014. The Company determined certain assets were not recoverable and recorded an impairment charge of $2.4 million. This impairment charge is recognized within “Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. See Note T - “Discontinued Operations” for additional information.
The weighted average life of the additions to customer lists, patents and other intangibles is ten years as of December 31, 2014.
Total intangible amortization expense from both continuing operations and discontinued operations was approximately $7.4 million, $6.6 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Estimated aggregate amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets for each of the five years ending December 31 and thereafter is as follows:

The Company has $8.9 million and $10.4 million of U.S. federal and $43.3 million and $49.3 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These carryforwards will be used to offset future income but may be limited by the change in ownership rules in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These net operating loss carryforwards will expire in varying amounts between 2015 and 2034.
The Company establishes valuation allowances when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is estimated to be realized under the more-likely-than-not recognition criteria. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $5.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, related primarily to certain state loss carryforwards, which are expected to expire before utilization. The Company will continue to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets, and accordingly, the Company may record additional valuation allowances in future periods. An increase to the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period recorded, whereas future releases of the valuation allowance, if any, would result in a reduction of income tax expense.
The following schedule presents the activity in the valuation allowance over the previous three fiscal years:

As of December 31, 2014, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would affect the effective tax rate is approximately $0.5 million. The Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change by approximately $0.7 million within the next twelve months due primarily to the lapse of statute limitations. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the amount of accrued interest and penalties was approximately $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2013, as the statute of limitations has lapsed for 2012 and all preceding years. Tax years 2014 and 2013 remain open. However, due to acquired net operating losses, tax authorities have the ability to adjust those net operating losses related to closed years. We believe we have adequate accruals for additional taxes and related interest expense which could ultimately result from tax examinations. We believe the ultimate disposition of tax examinations should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, statements of operations, or liquidity. The Company has been recently notified that it will be audited by the IRS for the 2013 and 2015 tax years.
NOTE L - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Savings Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) Savings and Retirement plan that covers all of its employees. Under the plan, employees may defer a portion of their compensation up to the levels permitted by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company recorded matching contributions of approximately $6.2 million, $6.0 million and $4.2 million under this plan during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which were included within “Personnel costs” and “General and administrative expenses” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”)
Effective January 2004, the Company implemented an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit plan (the “Plan”) for certain senior executives. The Plan, which is administered by the Company, calls for fifteen annual payments upon retirement with the payment amount based on years of service and final average salary. Benefit costs and liabilities balances are calculated based on certain assumptions including benefits earned, discount rates, interest costs, mortality rates and other factors. The Company engaged an independent actuary to calculate the related benefit obligation at December 31, 2014 and 2013 as well as net periodic benefit plan expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012. As of December 31, 2014, the average remaining service period of plan participants is 10.7 years. The Company believes the assumptions used are appropriate; however, changes in assumptions or differences in actual experience may affect our benefit obligation and future expenses. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, affecting the recorded obligation and expense in future periods.
The Plan’s net benefit cost is as follows:

The Company recorded actuarial (losses) gains under the Plan of ($1.4 million), $1.6 million, and ($1.2 million) in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, in other comprehensive (loss) income. Immaterial amounts were recognized within the consolidated statement of operations from accumulated other comprehensive income during 2014, 2013, and 2012. As of December 31, 2014, the Company does not expect to recognize amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of net periodic benefit cost in fiscal years 2015. There were no other components such as prior service costs or transition obligations relating to the Plan costs recorded within accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income during 2014, 2013 or 2012.
The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligation as of December 31 of each year and net benefit cost for each year ended December 31. The Company used a third party actuarial specialist to assist in determining, among other things, the discount rate for all three years presented.

In connection with the SERP obligation, the Company maintains a COLI policy. The carrying value of the COLI is measured at its cash surrender value and is presented within “Other assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note J - “Other Current Assets and Other Assets” for additional information.
Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
On May 1, 2013, the Company established a Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The Company has a corresponding investment in a company owned life insurance policy. The Company has not made any explicit or implicit commitments to maintain life insurance on any specific executive that would benefit the executive or his or her beneficiaries. Each participant is given a notional account to manage his or her annual distributions and allocate the funds among various investment options (e.g. mutual funds). These accounts are tracking accounts only for the purpose of calculating the participant’s benefit. The participant does not have ownership of the underling mutual funds. When a participant initiates or changes the allocation of his or her notional account, the Company will generally make an allocation of its investments in its insurance policy, to match those chosen by the participant. While the allocation of the Company’s sub accounts is generally intended to mirror the participant’s account records (i.e. the distributions and gains or losses on those funds), the employee does not have legal ownership of any funds until payout from the Company upon retirement. The underlying investments are owned by the insurance company (and the Company in turn owns an insurance policy). To date, the Company’s contributions to this plan have not been material.
NOTE M - STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION
On May 13, 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) and prohibited future awards under the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive and Bonus Plan (the “2002 Plan”) and 2003 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”). In conjunction with this approval, it was determined that no new awards will be granted under the 2002 Plan or the 2003 Plan; however, awards granted under either the 2002 Plan or the 2003 Plan that were outstanding will remain outstanding and continue to be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the 2002 Plan or the 2003 Plan, as applicable.
The 2010 Plan provides that 2.5 million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance, subject to adjustment as set forth in the 2010 Plan, provided, however, that only 1.5 million shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options. Of the 2.5 million shares, approximately 2.0 million are shares that were newly authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan and approximately 500,000 are unissued shares not subject to awards that had been carried over from the shares previously authorized for issuance under the terms of the 2002 Plan and the 2003 Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors, the 2010 Plan remains in effect until the earlier of (i) the date that is ten years from the date the plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders, namely May 13, 2020, or (ii) the date all shares reserved for issuance have been issued.
As of December 31, 2014, of the 2.5 million shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Company’s 2010 Plan, awards relating to approximately 1.9 million shares have been issued of which awards relating to approximately 0.3 million shares have been subsequently forfeited and added back to the pool, leaving approximately 0.9 million shares
available for future issuance. In 2014, shares issued under equity plans are issued from authorized and unissued shares. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock unit awards is approximately $14.8 million as of December 31, 2014, and is expected to be recognized as compensation expense over approximately four years.
See Note V - “Subsequent Events” to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
Restricted Stock Units
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized a total of approximately $9.8 million, $9.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense for the 2002, 2003 and 2010 plans. Of these amounts, approximately $0.2 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, are associated with the Dosteon business and are included within “Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.” Stock compensation expense, net of estimate forfeiture rate, relates to restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units.

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, approximately 377,000, 348,000, and 377,000 restricted stock units of common stock with an intrinsic value of $12.8 million, $11.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively, became fully vested. As of December 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units and unvested performance based restricted stock units for which the Company has concluded the performance condition was probable of achievement was approximately $15.0 million and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.5 years. The aggregate granted units have vesting dates through March 2017. The 2014, 2013 and 2012 aggregate grants had total estimated grant date fair values of $12.2 million, $12.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company refinanced its bank credit facilities through a five year credit agreement dated as of June 17, 2013 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) that increased its senior secured facilities to an aggregate principal amount of up to $425.0 million from $400.0 million previously. The Credit Agreement includes a $200.0 million revolving credit facility and a $225.0 million term loan facility both of which mature on June 17, 2018 and are subject to a leveraged-based pricing grid in which the applicable interest rate is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2014, the interest rate on the revolving and term loan facilities was 2.17% based on a LIBOR rate of 0.17% and the applicable margin of 2.00%. Subject to certain exceptions, the facilities under the Credit Agreement are senior
obligations and are secured by first priority perfected liens and security interests in substantially all of the Company’s personal property and each subsidiary guarantor.
In conjunction with the 2013 refinancing, the Company incurred a pre-tax non-cash charge of approximately $6.6 million during the second quarter of 2013 related to the write-off of existing debt issuance costs associated with its previous credit agreement. No prepayment penalties were incurred.
The Company had approximately $126.4 million and $171.4 million available under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility were $70.0 million and $25.0 million of borrowings as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and outstanding standby letters of credit of approximately $3.6 million as of both dates.
The amount outstanding under the term loan facility was approximately $213.8 million as of December 31, 2014. Commencing September 30, 2013 throughout the life of the term loan facility, quarterly principal payments are required. The amount of the required quarterly principal payments begins at of 0.625% of the initial $225 million borrowed and then escalates to 1.25% on September 30, 2014, to 1.875% on September 30, 2015, to 2.5% on September 30, 2016, and 3.75% on September 30, 2017. A final principal installment of approximately $143.4 million is due at maturity in June 2018. From time to time, mandatory prepayments may be required as a result of the incurrence of certain types of debt, certain asset sales, or other events as defined in the Credit Agreement. No such mandatory prepayments were required during 2014 and 2013.
The Company incurs an unused commitment fee on the amount of unused commitments under the Credit Agreement in the amount of 0.375% based on average quarterly utilization.
The unamortized loan discount is being recorded as additional interest expense on a quarterly basis over the term of the credit agreement.
7 1 / 8 % Senior Notes due 2018
The 7 1 / 8 % Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) are scheduled to mature on November 15, 2018. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured indebtedness. Interest is payable on the Senior Notes semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
Subsequent to November 15, 2014, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at the redemption price of 103.6% of the outstanding principal. On or after November 15, 2015, the redemption price is reduced to 101.8% of outstanding principal and after November 15, 2016, the Senior Notes are callable at par. See the “Debt Related Subsequent Event” section below for information on the Company’s refinance of this indebtedness subsequent to December 31, 2014.
Subsidiary Guarantees
The obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries, which incorporates subsidiaries that both make up no less than 90% of the Company’s total net revenues and make up no less than 90% of the total assets of the Company. Separate condensed consolidating information is not included as the parent company does not have independent assets or operations, and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.
Seller Notes
The Company typically issues subordinated promissory notes (“Seller Notes”) as a part of the consideration transferred when making acquisitions. The Seller Notes are non-collateralized and net of unamortized discount of $1.3 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In accordance with ASC 805, Accounting for Business Combinations , the Company has measured these instruments at estimated fair value as of their respective acquisition dates. The stated interest rates on these instruments range from 2.00% to 4.00% while the effective interest rate is 6.50%. Principal and interest are payable in either monthly, quarterly or annual installments and mature through November 2018.
The Company estimates fair value of the Seller Notes with a discounted cash flow model using unobservable rates and has determined these represent Level 3 measurements.
Financing Obligations and Other
Financing obligations relate to agreements when the Company is deemed the owner of the leased building, typically due to significant involvement during the construction period, and which do not qualify for de-recognition under the sale-leaseback accounting guidance due to one or more prohibited forms of continuing involvement in the property. Such forms of continuing involvement include the Company paying for a more than insignificant portion of project construction costs, the Company providing a security interest in the tenant’s personal property located at the premises, and/or the Company having renewal options for a term that comprises 90% or more of the remaining economic life of the property at a price other than estimated fair value. These liabilities have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 20 years with an average inherent interest rate of approximately 13%. Other obligations include equipment under capital leases. See “Note N - Leases” for certain additional information.
Following are the aggregate contractual payments associated with the financing obligations over the next 5 years and thereafter, which include principal and interest. Included in these amounts are optional renewal periods for which management believes it will exercise its rights to renew, as well as the final non-monetary payment made with the return of the property at the end of the financing term:

Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense for all instruments is recognized within “Interest expense, net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Immaterial amounts of interest income are also recognized within this caption.
Debt Covenants as of December 31, 2014
As of December 31, 2014, the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Indenture associated with the Senior Notes dated as of November 2, 2010 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) governing the Senior Notes limited the Company’s ability to, among other things, purchase capital assets, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends on or redeem capital stock, make certain investments, make restricted payments, make certain dispositions of assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, engage in certain business activities, and engage in mergers, consolidations and certain sales of assets. The Credit Agreement required compliance with various covenants, including but not limited to (i) quarterly and annual financial reporting requirements, (ii) minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.50:1.00 and (iii) maximum net leverage ratio of 4.00:1.00. As discussed below, effective August 1, 2016, the leverage ratio covenant and the interest coverage ratio covenant were eliminated for fiscal periods ended prior to June 30, 2016. Accordingly, these two covenants were not evaluated as of December 31, 2014. The Senior Notes required compliance with various covenants, including but not limited to quarterly and annual financial reporting requirements. The Senior Notes also included certain cross default provisions.
In December 2014, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial reporting requirements under these debt agreements. On December 12, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement relating to its Credit Agreement to, among other things, waive any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement arising from the Company’s failure to deliver certain financial information and other materials for the period ended September 30, 2014. This waiver was in effect until the close of business on January 15, 2015. The Company has since concluded that it was not in compliance with certain
representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2014 due to the materiality of the restatement impacts on certain prior annual periods. See the Debt Related Subsequent Events section below for information regarding subsequent amendments and waivers.

The new covenant requirements for June 30, 2016 and future periods are discussed below.
Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Company also entered into two supplemental indentures relating to the Indenture. Among other things, these supplemental indentures:
· waived certain actual and potential defaults and events of default relating to the failure to timely deliver certain historical financial information and other materials, and amended the financial reporting covenants to delay the required delivery of certain financial information and other materials, in each case until November 16, 2015 under the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 9, 2015, and until August 31, 2016 under the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 11, 2015 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”);
· under the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, increased the interest rate on the Senior Notes to 9.125% per annum effective as of November 15, 2015, and to 10.625% per annum effective as of May 15, 2016; and
· under the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, limited the ability of the Company to incur certain secured indebtedness to an amount not to exceed $375.0 million.
In securing these amendments and waivers relating to the Credit Agreement and the Indenture, the Company paid $6.1 million of fees in 2015 and $10.4 million of fees in 2016 to the respective lenders and Senior Note holders. Included in these amounts, the Company paid $1.7 million in 2015 and $4.1 million in 2016 to obtain the amendments and waivers relating to the Credit Agreement. The remaining $4.4 million of fees paid in 2015 and $6.3 million of fees paid 2016 related to the supplemental indentures under the Indenture. In addition to fees paid to holders of its debt, the Company paid legal and professional fees in connection with these amendments and waivers of $1.7 million in 2015 and $8.0 million in 2016.
Subsequent Refinancing of Senior Notes
On August 1, 2016, the Company took a number of actions to amend and refinance its debt, including (i) causing the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement discussed above to become effective, (ii) entering into a new Term B Credit Agreement (as defined below) providing for a new $280 million senior unsecured term loan facility and (iii) issuing a notification of redemption to the holders of the Senior Notes. On August 31, 2016, the Company used approximately $205.3 million of the proceeds from the Term B Credit Agreement and from existing cash on hand to redeem all of the Senior Notes and satisfy and discharge the Indenture, approximately $81.0 million to pay down the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement, approximately $7.9 million to pay Term B issuance costs and bank consent fees, and approximately $1.9 million to pay related legal and professional fees. The Company’s Credit Agreements, after giving effect to such refinancing activities are described in more detail below.
Credit Agreement, as Amended to Date as of August 1, 2016
The Credit Agreement (giving effect to all amendments and waivers to date, including the Fifth Amendment) provides for (i) a revolving credit facility with aggregate revolving commitments of $118.3 million as of December 31, 2016 (subject to the mandatory commitment reductions and usage limitations described below) that matures in June 2018, and (ii) a $225 million term loan facility due in quarterly principal installments ranging from 0.625% to 3.750% of the initial $225 million and in a final principal installment of approximately $143.4 million at maturity in June 2018.
If the Company receives certain federal income tax refunds in respect of tax year 2015 or earlier, then 50% of the Company’s net cash proceeds in respect of those refunds will be applied as a further permanent reduction of the aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement, except that in no event shall the commitment be reduced to less than $108.0 million as a result of such refunds.
Until such time as (a) the Company has achieved a leverage ratio (as described below) for the Company’s then most recently ended fiscal quarter, of less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, and (b) the Company has delivered financial statements and certain related materials for the fiscal periods ended September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016 (the “Required Financial Information”), the amount that the Company can borrow under the Credit Agreement in the form of revolving loans, swing line loans and/or letters of credit is reduced by amounts ranging between $10.7 million and $20.7 million less than the aggregate revolving commitments in effect from time to time, depending on the fiscal quarter.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement now bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR plus 4.75%, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus 3.75%, in each case through December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, effective January 1, 2017, each such margin increased by 0.50% per annum, thus increasing the margin for borrowings based on LIBOR to 5.25% per annum and the margin for borrowings based on the base rate to 4.25% per annum. If the Company fails to deliver the Required Financial Information on or before June 30, 2017, then the applicable interest rate for loans under the Credit Agreement will increase by an additional 0.50% per annum, effective July 1, 2017. Upon (a) the Company delivering the Required Financial Information and (b) the Company achieving a leverage ratio (as described below), for the Company’s then most recently ended fiscal quarter, of less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, the margin for borrowings based on LIBOR will decrease to 4.00% per annum and the margin for borrowings based on the base rate will decrease to 3.00% per annum.
The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels (as described below) and restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, consummate acquisitions, make investments and pay dividends and other distributions.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (“EBITDA”) as of the end of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, as follows:
· 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016;
· 5.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016;
· 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017;
· 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2017;
· 4.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017; and
· 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA to the Company’s consolidated interest expense) as of the end of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, as follows:
· 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016;
· 2.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016,
March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017; and
· 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.
The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to provide the Required Financial Information, including the audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 by August 15, 2017, the unaudited and unreviewed financial statements for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2017 by May 30, 2017, and the unaudited and unreviewed financial statements for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2017 by August 14, 2017. The Company cannot estimate the date that the audited financial statements will be provided. The failure to timely deliver the Required Financial Information would constitute an immediate event of default under the Credit Agreement. If the unaudited and unreviewed financial statements for the quarterly periods ending March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 are not timely delivered, then, upon the expiration of a 30-day notice period, the continued failure to deliver either or both of such unaudited financial statements would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The occurrence of any such event of default would provide the lenders the right to declare all outstanding amounts under the credit Agreement to be due and payable. In the event that the debt were to be accelerated, then the Company would need to seek alternative financing to satisfy its obligations. This alternative financing may not be available to the Company on terms that are favorable to it, or at all.
The Credit Agreement also contains other customary events of default and related remedies. Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per annum in excess of the otherwise applicable rate (i) upon acceleration of such loans, (ii) while a payment event of default exists or (iii) upon the lenders’ request, during the continuance of any other event of default.
Term B Credit Agreement as of August 1, 2016
On August 1, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Term B Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the various lenders party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent. The Term B Credit Agreement provides for a $280 million senior unsecured term loan facility under which all outstanding principal is due at maturity on August 1, 2019. Borrowings under the Term B Credit Agreement bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 11.50% payable quarterly in arrears.
Pursuant to the terms of the Term B Credit Agreement, proceeds from the borrowings under the Term B Credit Agreement were required to be used: (i) to redeem all of the Senior Notes, (ii) to repay a portion of the revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement, (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing actions and (iv) for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company may prepay borrowings under the Term B Credit Agreement in whole or in part at any time. Any voluntary prepayment by the Company of any loans under the Term B Credit Agreement, certain mandatory prepayments by the Company of any loans under the Term B Credit Agreement and prepayments in connection with certain repricing transactions of the loans under the Term B Credit Agreement will be subject to the following prepayment premiums: (i) if such prepayment is made before February 1, 2018, an amount equal to the discounted present value as of the date of prepayment, utilizing a comparable U.S. Treasury note yield plus 50 basis points, of the sum of (A) the remaining payments of interest on the principal amount prepaid through February 1, 2018, plus (B) 3.00% of the principal amount prepaid, (ii) if such prepayment is made on or after February 1, 2018, but prior to February 1, 2019, an amount equal to 3.00% of the principal amount prepaid, and (iii) if such prepayment is made on or after February 1, 2019, an amount equal to 1.50% of the principal amount prepaid.
The Company’s obligations under the Term B Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its material domestic subsidiaries. The Term B Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including restrictions on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, consummate acquisitions, make investments and pay dividends and other distributions. The covenants in the Term B Credit Agreement are similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement, except that the Term B Credit Agreement does not contain any separate financial covenants. Subject to a 90-day grace period, an event of default under the Credit Agreement will cause an event of default under the Term B Credit Agreement. An event of default under the Credit Agreement that results in acceleration of the indebtedness thereunder will cause an immediate event of default under the Term B Credit Agreement.
The Term B Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default and related remedies. Loans outstanding under the Term B Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per annum in excess of the otherwise applicable rate (i) upon acceleration of such loans, (ii) while a payment event of default exists or (iii) upon the lenders’ request, during the continuance of any other event of default.

Deferred rent represents net deferred credits associated with recognizing rent expense on a straight-line basis for property operating leases whose lease payments escalate over the life of the lease. Both deferred credits are recognized as reductions of rent expense over the term of the associated lease.
NOTE Q - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Commitments
In April 2014, in connection with the settlement of a patent infringement dispute, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Southern Prosthetic Supplies (“SPS”), entered into an agreement to purchase and distribute a total of $4.5 million of prosthetic gel liners over five years. As of December 31, 2014, $3.0 million of the non-cancellable purchase commitment was outstanding with $0.5 million, $1.0 million, $1.0 million, and $0.5 million of purchases due by April of 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively. At the time of the legal settlement, the Company recorded a loss on legal settlement of $0.2 million. The Company also recorded an estimated loss of $3.4 million associated with the non-cancellable purchase commitment in accordance with ASC 440-10-25-4 based on the terms of the agreement, the product shelf life and estimated sales of the liners over the life of the product.
Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In November 2014, a securities class action complaint was filed in federal district court in Texas against the Company. The case, City of Pontiac General Employees’ Retirement System v. Hanger, et al. , C.A. No. 1:14-cv-01026-SS, is currently pending before the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The complaint names as defendants the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding, among other things, its financial statements, Recovery Audit Contractor (“RAC”) audit success rate, the Company’s implementation of new financial systems, same-store sales growth, and the adequacy of the Company’s internal processes and controls. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.
On April 1, 2016, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and permitted plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. On July 1, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. Defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs’ latest complaint and, on January 26, 2017, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice all claims against all defendants for failure to state a claim. On February 24, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company has accrued legal fees associated with defending itself against this claim as of December 31, 2014.
Legal Proceedings - Subsequent Events
Subsequent to December 31, 2014, in February and August of 2015, two separate shareholder derivative suits were filed in Texas state court against the Company related to the announced restatement of certain financial statements of the Company. The cases were subsequently consolidated into Judy v. Asar, et. al., Cause No. D-1-GN-15-000625 . On October 25, 2016, plaintiffs in that action filed an amended complaint, and the case is currently pending before the 345 th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas.
The amended complaint in the consolidated derivative action names as defendants the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors. It alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty based, inter alia , on the defendants’ alleged failure to exercise good faith to ensure that the Company had in place adequate accounting and financial controls and that its disclosures regarding its business, financial performance, and internal controls were truthful and accurate. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and equitable relief.
On June 6, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”). The Board delegated to the Special Committee the authority to (1) determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pursue any of the allegations made in the derivative cases filed in Texas state court against the Company (which cases were consolidated into the Judy case discussed above), (2) determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to pursue any remedies against any of the Company’s current or former employees, officers or directors as a result of the conduct discovered in the Investigation, and (3) otherwise resolve claims or matters relating to the findings of the Investigation. The Special Committee retained independent legal counsel to assist and advise it in carrying out its duties, and reviewed and considered the evidence and various factors relating to the best interests of the Company. In accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in the Company’s best interest to pursue any of the claims in the Judy derivative case. Also, in accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to pursue legal remedies against any of the Company’s current or former employees, officers or directors.
On April 14, 2017, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative action based on the resolution by the Special Committee that it is not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to pursue the derivative claims. Counsel for the derivative plaintiffs have indicated that they will oppose the motion to dismiss.
Management intends to vigorously defend against the shareholder derivative actions and the appeal in the securities class action. At this time, we cannot predict how the Courts will rule on the merits of the claims and/or the scope of the potential loss in the event of an adverse outcome. The Company believes this matter represents a reasonably possible loss contingency as defined in ASC 450. Should the Company ultimately be found liable, the resulting damages could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity and results of our operations. However, due to the preliminary nature of this matter, at this time, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss if the Company were found liable. During 2014, the Company accrued estimated legal fees associated with defending itself against this action.
Governmental Inquiries
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement has made inquiries of the Company concerning the circumstances surrounding the restatement and related matters. The Company has responded to those inquiries and provided requested documentation to the Staff of the Division of Enforcement. By letter dated January 10, 2017, the Staff of the Division of Enforcement notified the Company that it had concluded its investigation of these matters and, based on information it had as of that date, did not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the Commission against the Company. The information in the Staff’s letter was provided under the guidelines set out in the final paragraph of Securities Act Release No. 5310.
Other
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including additional payments under business purchase agreements. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations of the Company.
The Company is in a highly regulated industry and receives regulatory agency inquiries from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including inquiries relating to the Company’s billing activities. To date these inquiries have not resulted in material liabilities, but no assurance can be given that future regulatory agencies’ inquiries will be consistent with the results to date or that any discrepancies identified during a regulatory review will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may enter into service agreements with service providers in which it agrees to indemnify or limit the service provider against certain losses and liabilities arising from the service provider’s performance of the agreement. The Company has reviewed its existing contracts containing indemnification or clauses of guarantees and does not believe that its liability under such agreements is material to the Company’s operations.
NOTE R - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The firm of Foley & Lardner LLP serves as the Company’s primary outside legal counsel. The Company’s former Chairman is the brother-in-law of the partner in charge of the relationship for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s former Chairman retired from the board in 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company no longer considers Foley & Lardner LLP to be a related party. Total fees paid by the Company to Foley & Lardner LLP were approximately $2.9 million, $3.0 million, and $2.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total fees accrued and payable by the Company to Foley & Lardner LLP were not material as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
NOTE S - SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Company has identified two operating segments and both performance evaluation and resource allocation decisions are determined based on each operating segment’s income from operations. The operating segments are described further below:
Patient Care - This segment consists of (i) the Company’s owned and operated patient care clinics, Dosteon, and CARES, and (ii) its contracting and network management business. Dosteon is being presented as a discontinued operation and has therefore been excluded from the summarized financial information below. See Note T - “Discontinued Operations” for further information regarding the discontinuance of this business. The patient care clinics provide services to design and fit O&P devices to patients. These clinics also instruct patients in the use, care and maintenance of the devices. The principal reimbursement sources for the Company’s services are:
· Commercial private payors and other, which consist of individuals, rehabilitation providers, commercial insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs, hospitals, vocational rehabilitation, workers’ compensation programs and similar sources;
· Medicare, a federally funded health insurance program providing health insurance coverage for persons aged 65 or older and certain disabled persons, which provides reimbursement for O&P products and services based on prices set forth in published fee schedules with 10 regional pricing areas for prosthetics and orthotics and by state for durable medical equipment;
· Medicaid, a health insurance program jointly funded by federal and state governments providing health insurance coverage for certain persons in financial need, regardless of age, which may supplement Medicare benefits for financially needy persons aged 65 or older; and
· U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Company’s contract and network management business, known as Linkia, is the only network management company dedicated solely to serving the O&P market and is focused on managing the O&P services of national and regional insurance companies. The Company partners with healthcare insurance companies by securing a national or regional contract either as a preferred provider or to manage their O&P network of providers.
Products & Services - This segment consists of the Company’s distribution business, which distributes and fabricates O&P products and components for both the O&P industry and the Company’s own patient care clinics and rehabilitation solutions business. Rehabilitation solutions leases and sells rehabilitation equipment and ancillary consumable supplies combined with equipment maintenance, education, and training. This segment also develops emerging neuromuscular technologies for the O&P and rehabilitation markets.
Corporate & Other - This consists of corporate overhead and includes unallocated expense such as personnel costs, professional fees and corporate offices expenses.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note C - “Significant Accounting Policies”.
Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reporting segments is shown in the following tables. Segment performance is evaluated based on each segment’s earnings before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation & amortization expenses or EBITDA. Dosteon’s discontinued operations have been removed from the Patient Care segment for all periods presented, see Note T - “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion.
Intersegment revenue primarily include sales of O&P components from the Products & Services segment to the Patient Care segment and were made at prices which the Company believes approximate market values. The Company’s foreign and export sales and assets located outside of the United States of America are not significant.
For the Patient Care segment, net revenues generated directly from Medicare program represented approximately 29%, 31% and 29% of the Company’s net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Additionally, for the Products & Services segment, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues in 2014, 2013 or 2012, respectively.

On November 5, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell and/or otherwise dispose of the Company’s Dosteon distribution product group (“Dosteon”), a component of its Patient Care segment.

In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations , ASC 360-10 Property, Plant and Equipment - Overall, and ASC 350-20 , Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Goodwill, the operating results and cash flows of Dosteon have been presented separately as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and the consolidated statements of cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014 and all comparable periods.

NOTE V - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In addition to subsequent events noted within certain footnotes above, following are relevant subsequent events that have occurred since December 31, 2014.
Notification of Delisting
On February 29, 2016, the Company received a formal notice from New York Stock Exchange Regulation (the “NYSE”) confirming that due to Hanger, Inc.’s non-compliance with certain listing standards, the NYSE had suspended trading in the Company’s common stock, effective upon the market close on February 26, 2016, and stated its intention to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock from the NYSE at the opening of business on April 4, 2016.
The Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Pink marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. at the open on Monday, February 29, 2016 under the trading symbol “HNGR.”
Shareholder’s Rights Plan
On February 28, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The dividend is payable to the shareholders of record on March 10, 2016 (the “Record Date”). The Rights will not be exercisable until after the public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired or obtained the right or obligation to acquire beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (“Acquiring Person”) or following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. If a shareholder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock as of the time of the public announcement of the Rights Agreement and associated dividend declaration is at or above the applicable threshold (including through entry into certain derivative positions), that shareholder’s then-existing ownership percentage would be grandfathered, but the rights would become exercisable if at any time after such announcement, the shareholder increases its ownership percentage.
Once exercisable, each Right will allow its holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), for $65.00 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment. Prior to exercise, the Right does not give its holder any dividend, voting, or liquidation rights. The
description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2016, between the Company and Computershare Inc., as the Rights Agent.
The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights will cause a substantial dilution to any person or group that attempts to acquire the Company without the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights may be to render more difficult or discourage any attempt to acquire the Company even if such acquisition may be favorable to the interests of the Company’s shareholders. Because the Company’s Board of Directors can redeem the Rights and amend the Rights Agreement in any respect prior to a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person, the Rights should not interfere with a merger or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Rights will expire on August 28, 2017.
Debt Amendments, Covenant Waivers and Refinance of 7 1 / 8 % Senior Notes.
For further discussion of these events, see the subsequent events section of Note O - “Long-Term Debt.”
Legal proceedings
For further discussion of these events, see the legal proceedings subsequent events section of Note Q - “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Dosteon Discontinued Operations
Between February 2015 and May 2015, the Company completed its sale of its remaining Dosteon businesses.
Exit of CARES Business
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company completed its exit of the CARES business which is reported within the Patient Care segment. The results of operations of this business were not significant to the consolidated financial statements for any period presented.
2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan
On April 15, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Hanger, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2016 Plan, the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) was no longer available for future awards. However, awards previously granted under the 2010 Plan and still outstanding continue to be subject to all terms and conditions of the 2010 Plan.
The 2016 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (1) the number of shares available for issuance under the 2010 Plan that had not been made subject to outstanding awards as of the effective date of the 2016 Plan and (2) any shares that would have become available again for new grants under the terms of the 2010 Plan if such plan were still in effect.
NOTE W - QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
As further described in Note B - “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements.” the previously reported financial information for the first two quarters of 2014 and for all fiscal 2013 quarters have been restated. In lieu of filing amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first and second quarter of 2014 and a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2014, quarterly financial data for 2014 (as restated for the first and second quarter) and 2013 (as restated) is included in this report in the tables that follow. Amounts are computed independently each quarter, therefore, the sum of the quarterly amounts may not equal the total amount for the respective year due to rounding.

The following tables present the impacts of the restatement adjustments to the previously reported financial information for the March 31, 2014 ended quarter, the June 30, 2014 ended quarter, and for each quarterly period within fiscal 2013. Refer to discussion in Note B - “Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements”. The references identified in the tickmarks to the following tables directly correlate to the adjustments detailed below. Amounts are computed independently each quarter, therefore, the sum of the quarterly amounts may not equal the total amount for the respective year due to rounding.
The individual restatement misstatements are described below:
a. Inventory Valuation - The Company has identified misstatements in its historical inventory valuations. The misstatements related primarily to the valuation of work-in-process inventory (“WIP”), and included intentional misstatements that had the effect of overstating the number of items in WIP, the relative stages of completion of WIP, and the overall valuation of WIP. The Company’s valuation of WIP requires the use of various estimates. Other misstatements included not reducing raw materials and WIP for vendor rebates and not ensuring inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Refer to further discussions regarding inventory valuation in Note C - “Significant accounting policies.”
b. Allowance for Disallowed Revenue and Doubtful Accounts - The historical estimates of allowances for disallowed revenue and doubtful accounts did not sufficiently consider changes to the Company’s collection experience or differentiate between payor types. When preparing its estimates, the Company inappropriately relied upon aggregate averages of prior periods’ collections experience from varying numbers of older historical periods. The Company did not timely recognize adverse changes in its collection experience, and did not consider likely write-offs of residual receivable balances, as well as consider differences in collection patterns between payor types and aging categories. Additionally, misstatements in the classification of bad debt expense have been corrected and presented as disallowed revenue. Refer to further discussion regarding allowances for disallowed revenue and bad debts in Note E - “Accounts Receivable.”
c. Property, Plant and Equipment, net - During the periods covered by the restated consolidated financial statements, misstatements occurred in the Company’s accounting for property, plant and equipment. These misstatements included improper capitalization of certain labor associated with internal-use software and improper capitalization into property, plant and equipment costs that should have been expensed. The Company also found misstatements in the commencement of depreciation of its fixed assets and not recording disposals on a timely basis. Misstatements regarding leasehold improvement related items, which are recorded in property, plant and equipment in the financial statements, are included in the real property lease adjustment below.
d. Real Property Leases - The Company did not properly apply real property lease accounting standards. The Company identified misstatements with respect to the determination of the proper term of its leases, establishment of proper balances for deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances, determining depreciable lives of leasehold improvements, consideration of lessee involvement in the construction of leased assets (resulting in not properly identifying certain build-to-suit arrangements, which are accounted for as financings after evaluating sale leaseback accounting), and proper evaluation of capital lease obligations. Additionally, the Company did not properly establish and account for asset retirement obligations.
All Other Restatement Adjustments
e. Certain Revenue Adjustments - The Company determined that it had not properly established a liability to reserve for revenue collected from third-party payors and patients that was subject to refund in subsequent periods resulting in misstatements of net revenue. Additionally, the Company recognized purchase rebates as net revenue rather than a reduction of cost of materials. The misstatements overstated previously reported income from operations before income taxes.
f. Revenue Accrual - The Company often invoice patients or payors after a device is delivered. To account for this delay, the Company records an estimated revenue accrual for devices delivered but not yet invoiced at period-end. The Company’s historical revenue accrual estimation model did not reasonably estimate the proper cut-off related to goods delivered but not yet invoiced, resulting in misstatements of both “Net revenue” and “Accounts receivable.”
g. Method of Accrual for Accounts Payable - The Company recorded an accrual for estimated accounts payable which utilized average accounts payable levels from historical periods. This model was prepared based upon when
invoices were received, not when goods or services were received. This misstatement produced misstatements of previously reported “Accounts payable” and “Income before income taxes.”
h. Education Fair training event - The Company originally deferred and recognized expenses for its annual Education Fair training event ratably over each quarter in a fiscal year. The Company has determined these expenses should have been recognized as incurred in the first quarter each year. This misstatement understated previously reported “Other operating costs” in the first quarter of each year and overstated previously reported “Other operating costs” in the second, third, and fourth quarter of each year.
i. Janus Depreciation - The Company did not commence depreciation of Janus, its new patient management system, in the reporting period the system was ready for its intended use. In addition, misstatements were also identified regarding the capitalization of certain expenses relating to the new system. The misstatements overstated previously reported fixed assets and understated previously reported “Depreciation & amortization expenses” and “Other operating costs.”
j. Accrued Compensation Costs - The Company has identified misstatements that primarily relate to recognizing compensation related costs in the proper reporting periods. These misstatements are primarily associated with employee bonuses, employee benefits, and vacation, and resulted in misstatements of previously reported “Personnel costs” and “Accrued compensation.”
k. Loss on firm purchase commitment - As described in additional detail in Note Q - “Commitments and Contingencies,” the Company’s SPS subsidiary entered into a firm purchase commitment in the second quarter of 2014. The Company did not sufficiently evaluate this agreement in the second quarter of 2014 which resulted in an understatement of previously reported second quarter of 2014 income before income taxes of $3.4 million.
l. Demo equipment - The Company originally recorded an out of period adjustment amounting to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 to fully depreciate certain older demonstration equipment that was incorrectly recorded in inventory. In the restated consolidated financial statements, the Company is now correcting this error retrospectively in earlier periods.
m. Other Profit & Loss Restatement Adjustments - There are certain other restatement misstatements not otherwise described in items (a) through (l) of this Note. The related adjustments are individually insignificant to previously reported income (loss) from operations before income taxes for each period presented.
n. Cash and cash equivalents - The Company identified balance sheet classification misstatements in which cash balances were overstated due to certain checks not being recognized as a reduction of cash in the period in which they were issued, which also understated other current assets. Additionally, certain cash receipts were not recorded as an increase to cash and a decrease to accounts receivable in a timely manner. Lastly, the Company misclassified restricted cash as “Cash and cash equivalents”; restricted cash is now classified as “Other current assets.”
o. Common Stock and APIC - The Company identified misstatements related to the incorrect application of stock compensation accounting standards. Restricted stock units with a performance condition were not expensed using the graded-vesting methodology. In addition, modifications to certain outstanding units were not recorded correctly. Restricted stock units were incorrectly recorded as share issuances on their grant date, rather than an issuance of shares on their vesting date.
p. Income Taxes - The Company has identified certain errors in its historical accounting for income taxes, primarily related to uncertain tax positions and reconciliation of deferred tax balances. In addition, the more significant adjustments primarily relate to the income tax effects of other restatement adjustments noted above.
Other adjustments to previously reported financial information
The Company has also made certain reclassification adjustments to the previously reported consolidated financial statements. These adjustments do not relate to the correction of misstatements and are discussed in more detail below.
aa. Reclassification of expenses - Due to increases and resultant materiality of certain expenses in 2014, and to enable the presentation of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income to be more comparable with other health care services companies, the Company concluded that certain expenses should be reported separately in 2014. The Company reclassified prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation. For additional disclosure information, see Note C - “Significant Accounting Policies.”
bb. Discontinued operations - On November 5, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell and/or otherwise dispose of the Company’s Dosteon distribution product group (“Dosteon”), part of its Patient Care operating segment. Dosteon is presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations , ASC 360-10 Property, Plant and Equipment - Overall , and ASC 350-20 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Goodwill, as of December 31, 2014. The operating results and cash flows of Dosteon have been presented separately as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and the consolidated statements of cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014 and all comparable periods presented herein. For additional disclosure information refer to Note T - “Discontinued Operations.”
cc. Reclassification of Equipment Capital Lease Liabilities - The Company previously reported the current portion of equipment capital lease liabilities within “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and the non-current portion within “Other liabilities.” The Company is now presenting lease related financing liabilities, including capital leases and financing obligations related to certain real property transactions within “Long-term debt, less current portion” and “Current portion of long-term debt,” respectively, as the balances are similar in nature to long-term debt. For additional disclosure information, see Note O - “Long-Term Debt.”
