REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors of

MediGain, LLC and Subsidiaries:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MediGain, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MediGain, LLC and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered significant losses during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and is in default of its debt covenants as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Also as discussed in Note 17, MTBC Acquisition, Corp. (“MAC”) acquired substantially all the medical billing business and assets of the Company through a strict foreclosure process. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the outcome of this uncertainty and transaction. Our opinion is not modified with respect to these matters.

MEDIGAIN, LLC AND SUBISIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

1. Organization and Business

 

MediGain, LLC (and together with its subsidiaries, “MediGain” or the “Company”) was formed on January 22, 2004 as MediGain, Inc. and converted to a Texas limited liability company on October 31, 2011. During October 2014, MediGain purchased Millennium Practice Management, LLC, (“Millennium”) which became a wholly-owned subsidiary at that time. MediGain formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in India, RCM-MediGain India Private Limited (“MediGain India”), in October 2015.

 

These consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated activity of MediGain, LLC and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company is a full-service medical billing and reimbursement revenue cycle management provider, which provides services such as process mapping, revenue cycle workflow, management of customer accounts, and business intelligence and analytical reporting to assist in managing a client’s business.

 

2. Going Concern

 

The Company has senior secured notes, a subordinated term loan and a line of credit payable to a lender with outstanding principal balances of $9,875,000, $16,773,672 and $3,000,000 at December 31, 2015, respectively, and $10,000,000, $14,100,000 and $0 at December 31, 2014, respectively, which are in default since the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement were not met during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. The default on these notes have caused them to become currently due, for an amount significantly in excess of the Company’s cash position, which creates an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amounts due have been recorded as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon refinancing these obligations. If the Company is unable to refinance these notes payable, the Company may be forced to curtail or discontinue operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. (See Note 17).

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to: (1) impairment of long-lived assets; (2) depreciable lives of assets; (3) allowance for doubtful accounts; (4) fair value of identifiable purchased tangible and intangible assets and (5) unit-based compensation. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue when there is evidence of an arrangement, the service has been provided to the customer, the collection of the fees is reasonably assured and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. Net revenue recorded in the consolidated statements operations represents gross billings after deducting credits and refunds.

 

7
 

 

Medical Billing

 

The Company bills its customers on a monthly basis, in arrears. Fees charged to customers for the services provided are typically based on a percentage of net collections on the Company’s clients’ accounts receivable. The Company does not recognize revenue for service fees until the Company has received notification that a claim has been accepted and the amount which the physician will collect is determined, as the fees are not fixed and determinable until such time.

 

The Company’s revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of return for services provided.

 

Direct Operating Costs — Direct operating costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to clients, claims processing costs, and other direct costs related to the Company’s services. Costs associated with the implementation of new clients are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs include allocated amounts for rent and overhead costs. Depreciation and amortization have not been allocated and are presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Internal-Use Software Costs —The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal-use software. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of intangible assets. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life which is generally five years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

 

Costs related to the internal-use software capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $446,993 and $91,070, respectively. However, the internal-use software did not fulfill its intended purpose and the total costs capitalized of $538,063 were recorded as impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses – Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits, travel and advertising expenses and are expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising Costs — The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred $226,025 and $207,438 of advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are included in selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits with federally insured financial institutions that may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred any losses from such accounts, and management considers the risk to be minimal.

 

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. Accounts receivable are presented on the consolidated balance sheet net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is established based on reviews of receivable balances, an assessment of the customers’ current creditworthiness and the probability of collection. Accounts are written off when it is determined that collection of the outstanding balance is no longer possible.

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

 

    Years Ended December 31,  
    2015     2014  
Beginning balance   $ 698,192     $ 9,757  
Provision     166,134       849,920  
Write-offs     (352,589 )     (161,485 )
Ending balance   $ 511,737     $ 698,192  

 

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of the existing property and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The estimated useful lives for each major classification of depreciable property and equipment are as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Computer equipment 3-5 years
Leasehold improvements Remaining life of lease

 

The Company amortizes leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the economic life of those assets. Generally, the lease term is the base lease term plus certain renewal option periods for which renewal is reasonably assured and for which failure to exercise the renewal option would result in an economic penalty to the Company.

 

Intangible Assets — Intangible assets include customer contracts and relationships, covenants not-to-compete acquired in connection with acquisitions, and software purchase and development costs. Intangible assets with a definite life, which include customer relationships and non-compete agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives, which are reviewed annually.

 

Impairment expense related to non-compete agreements was $471,466 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Impairment expense related to customer relationship agreements was $1,606,895 and $195,489 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets —The Company reviews its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the asset.

 

There was no impairment of property and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Goodwill —The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31 st , referred to as the annual test date. The Company will also test for impairment between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting-unit level. The Company has determined that its business consists of a single reporting unit. Due to the losses incurred, the Company determined that its goodwill was impaired and recorded impairment adjustments. The Company determined that due to the losses incurred, its goodwill did not have any value as of December 31, 2014. Impairment charges amounting to $5,495,859 and $3,582,147 were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included in impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Conditions that could trigger a more frequent impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change to the Company in certain agreements, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, loss of customer relationships, an economic downturn in customers’ industries, or increased competition.

The first step of the goodwill impairment test is a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is based upon information available regarding prices of similar groups of assets, or other valuation techniques including present value techniques based upon estimates of future cash flows. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired and the second step is unnecessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the goodwill to the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the goodwill is greater than the implied value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets. Any excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill.

 

Unit-Based Compensation —The Company recognizes compensation expense for unit options granted to purchase units based on the grant date fair value. Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions —The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary in India are maintained in U.S. dollars, the Company’s functional currency. Transactions adjustments related to the intercompany receivable are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as they are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. Foreign currency transaction gains/losses were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2015. There were no foreign currency transaction gains/losses for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations , which requires that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date with changes in the fair value recorded through earnings.

 

Deferred Rent — Deferred rent consists of rent escalation payment terms related to the Company’s operating leases for its facilities. Deferred rent represents the difference between actual operating lease payments due and straight-line rent expense, which is recorded by the Company over the term of the lease, including any construction period. The excess of the difference between actual operating lease payments due and straight-line rent expense is recorded as a deferred credit in the early periods of the lease when cash payments are generally lower than straight-line rent expense, and is reduced in the later periods of the lease when payments begin to exceed the straight-line expense.

 

Deferred Financing Costs —Transaction fees and costs totaling $1,864,223 were paid during the year ended December 31, 2014 for the purpose of obtaining the Senior Term Notes, the Subordinated Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolver”). Amortization of the deferred loan costs for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2,082,509 and includes the write off of all deferred financing costs since the associated debt was in default. The amount for 2014 also includes $218,286 of deferred financing costs related to the F&M Bank Loans, as the remaining outstanding balances on the F&M Bank Loans were paid during that year. The write off of the deferred financing costs are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Fair Value Measurements — ASC 825, Financial Instruments , requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The Company follows a fair value measurement hierarchy to measure financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

  Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
     
  Level 2 — Inputs are directly or indirectly observable, which include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
  Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value to the extent observable inputs are not available.

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These financial instruments are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances and include cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, borrowings under term loans and line of credit, and notes payable. Due to the short term nature of these financial instruments or that the borrowings bear interest at prevailing market rates, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

 

4. ACQUISITION

 

On October 3, 2014, MediGain acquired all of the membership interests in Millennium for a total purchase consideration of $14,141,434, inclusive of a working capital adjustment of $887,164 and a cash payment of $12,094,416. Also included in the purchase consideration to the Seller was a payment contingent on the seller’s employment with Millennium of $700,000, which is required to be paid monthly in the amount of $29,167 for two years or in a lump sum of the remaining portion owed at time of the seller’s termination of employment. The fair value of this liability was determined to be $623,091 at the acquisition date using the implicit interest rate of 11.51% per annum. Promissory notes were also issued at the acquisition date with a fair value of $536,763. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations of Millennium for the period October 3, 2014 through December 31, 2015. Revenue from Millennium included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2,921,073. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The purchase consideration was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their respective fair values, as determined by management in conjunction with a third party consultant, as follows:

Contingent payment     623,091  
Promissory notes issued to seller     536,763  
Total purchase price   $ 14,141,434  

 

The amount allocated to goodwill was determined by the excess of the purchase consideration over the tangible and identifiable net assets acquired. Based on management’s estimates and an independent third party valuation, the non-compete agreement and customer relationships were valued as definite life identifiable intangible assets purchased at acquisition and are being amortized over 4 to 5 years.

 

This transaction, along with the related transaction and closing costs, was funded by Prudential Insurance Company of America and Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (together the “Senior Lenders”) who issued $10,000,000 in Series A Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Term Notes”) and a $18,100,000 Subordinated Term Loan funded by Prudential Capital Partners IV, L.P., Prudential Capital Partners Management Fund IV, L.P. and Prudential Capital Partners IV, L.P. (together the “Subordinated Lenders”), of which $4,000,000 and a portion of the Class W units were converted to 4,000,000 Series A Preferred Units (“Preferred Units”). The Senior Lenders and the Subordinated Lenders are collectively “Prudential”. As part of the agreement for the Subordinated Term Loan, the Subordinated Lenders were issued 5,380,286 Class W Units.

 

Furthermore, the two sellers of Millennium were issued subordinated promissory notes in the amount of $510,000 and $90,000, respectively, as part of the purchase price consideration. The total combined fair value of these subordinated promissory notes was determined to be $536,763. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred transaction costs that were expensed as incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014 in the amount of $497,500, primarily comprised of legal fees and due diligence related costs. The Company also paid $1,864,223 of debt issuance fees associated with the Senior Term Note and the Subordinated Note, which is recorded as deferred loan costs, net of accumulated amortization, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The deferred loan costs were fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2014 due to the default on the loans from Prudential.

All such units have been recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as issued and outstanding. Also during the year ended December 31, 2014, Chiron Point Investment Fund I (“Chiron”) was issued 5,000,000 Class A common units.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, 750,000 Class A common units were disposed of by Chiron and were reissued equally to three new investors. Chiron was also issued 649,960 new Class A common units.

 

Preferred Units

 

In connection with the Subordinated Term Loan (see Note 10), the Subordinated Lenders contributed $4,000,000 and 806,833 class W units in exchange for 4,000,000 Preferred Units. The Preferred Units receive a preferred annual return equal to 8% (the “Return Payments”) of the outstanding balance. Any Return Payments not paid are compounded quarterly and accumulate until such time as they are paid. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not make any Return Payments on the Preferred Units. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the accumulated unpaid Return Payments on the participating Preferred Units totaled $400,000 and $80,000, respectively, excluding compound interest. The liquidation preference of the Preferred Units is $4,400,000 and $4,080,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Such amounts are not included as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized $160,000 of syndication expenses related to the Preferred Units, which was partially charged to Additional Paid in Capital and the balance was charged to Accumulated Deficit.

 

Voting Rights

 

All members are entitled to vote. Each Preferred Unit, Class W common Unit and Class A common Unit has one vote.

 

Allocation

 

Earnings and losses of the Company are allocated to the Members according to the formula set forth in the LLC Agreement, so that the capital account of each member is equal to the amount that would be distributed to each member if the Company were to liquidate.

 

Distributions and Liquidation

 

Distributions, including liquidation distributions, have the following priority preferences: (a) first, to members with unpaid tax distributions (b) second, to any members who may have been issued units with preferential rights, (c) third, to members based on their percentage interests.

 

12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings —The Company may be a party to routine claims brought against it in the ordinary course of business. The Company estimates whether such liabilities are probable to occur and whether reasonable estimates can be made, and records a liability when both conditions are met. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters, if and when they arise, cannot be accurately predicted due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, in the opinion of management, based upon current information, no currently pending or overtly threatened claim is expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations, except for one legal claim amounting to $400,000 which was accrued as of December 31, 2015. However, even if the Company is successful on the merits, any pending or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings could be time-consuming and expensive to defend or settle and could result in the diversion of significant management time and operational resources, which could materially and adversely affect the Company. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such proceedings could in the future materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

18
 

 

Leases — The Company leases certain office space and other facilities under operating leases expiring through 2020. Certain of these leases contain renewal options.

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases for office space and equipment as of December 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

Years ending      
December 31

2020     726,340  
Thereafter     296,000  
    $ 4,776,219  

 

Total rental expense, included in direct operating costs and general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations, including amounts for related party leases described in Note 13, amounted to $1,256,494 and $1,317,400 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Guarantees — On June 21, 2013, the Company provided a guarantee to a Sri Lankan bank in connection with a $1 million loan received by an entity owned by a majority member.

14. Employee Benefit PlanS

 

The Company has a qualified 401(k) plan covering all U.S. employees who have completed six months of service. This plan provides for matching contributions by the Company equal to 50% of applicable employee contribution up to an employer maximum of $1,000 annually. The value of employer matching contributions to the plan and any earnings are vested as follows:

 

Years of
employment
  % vested of employer
contribution
 
1     0 %
2     20 %
3     40 %
4     60 %
5     80 %
6     100 %

 

Employer contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $87,966 and $2,570, respectively.

 

15. UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has authorized options for employees to purchase up to 1,000,000 Class A common Units under the 2011 Unit Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Options are granted to key personnel for the purchase of the Company’s Class A common Units at prices not less than the fair market value of the units on the date of grant. The options granted under the 2011 Plan generally expire at the date specified by the Board of Members at the grant date, but no more than ten years from the date of grant.

 

The fair value for the Company’s options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs disclosed below. Expected volatilities are based on similar industry-sector indices and individual public companies, with similar business to the Company. The expected term of the options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that the options are granted and are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of valuation.

 

Assumptions used for units options issued in 2014:

Risk-free interest rate     1.80 %
Dividend yield     0.00 %
Stock price volatility     45.00 %
Expected life (years)     7  
Weighted-average estimated fair value per share   $ 1.35  

 

Unit compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $18,910 and $4,876, respectively.

16. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is a Texas limited liability company (LLC) and is not required to pay federal income tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax expense has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company’s federal taxable income is included in the personal tax returns of the Members; however, the Company pays state income and franchise taxes as part of a combined filing of affiliated entities. State income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $53,860 and $53,775, respectively.

 

The Company applies ASC 740-10, “ Income Taxe s,” in establishing standards for accounting for uncertain tax positions. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions with the presumption of audit detection and applies a “more likely than not” standard to evaluate the recognition of tax benefits or provisions. ASC 740-10 applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefits or provisions to record in the consolidated financial statements. First, the Company determines whether any amount may be recognized and then determines how much of a tax benefit or provision should be recognized. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has no uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any penalty, interest or tax impact related to uncertain tax positions.

 

17. Subsequent eventS

 

In accordance with ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” , the Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to December 31, 2015, the balance sheet date, through November 29, 2016, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

 

In March 2016, MediGain India formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Colombo, Sri Lanka, RCM-MediGain Colombo Private Limited (“MediGain Sri Lanka”). The Indian and Sri-Lankan entities provide billing and administrative support to the Company.

 

On October 3, 2016, MTBC Acquisition, Corp. (“MAC”) acquired substantially all the medical billing business and assets of MediGain and Millennium. The assets were acquired through a strict foreclosure process whereby MAC acquired the Senior Secured Notes which were collateralized by the assets of MediGain and Millennium. MAC then entered into a strict foreclosure agreement with MediGain and Millennium whereby the parties agreed that substantially all the assets securing the Senior Secured Notes would be transferred to MAC in satisfaction of the outstanding obligations under the Senior Secured Notes. As part of the agreement, MAC acquired the assets as well as certain liabilities expressly assumed. Cash and certain causes of action relating to pre-closing matters were excluded from the acquired assets and were retained by MediGain and Millennium.

MEDIGAIN, LLC AND SUBISIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015

 

1. Organization and Business

 

MediGain, LLC (and together with its subsidiaries, “MediGain” or the “Company”) was formed on January 22, 2004 as MediGain, Inc. and converted to a Texas limited liability company on October 31, 2011. During October 2014, MediGain purchased Millennium Practice Management, LLC, (“Millennium”) which became a wholly-owned subsidiary at that time. MediGain formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in India, RCM-MediGain India Private Limited (“MediGain India”), in October 2015. In March 2016, MediGain India formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Colombo, Sri Lanka, RCM-MediGain Colombo Private Limited (“MediGain Sri Lanka”). The Indian and Sri-Lankan entities provide billing and administrative support to the Company.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated activity of MediGain, LLC and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company is a full-service medical billing and reimbursement revenue cycle management provider which provides services such as process mapping, revenue cycle workflow, management of customer accounts, and business intelligence and analytical reporting to assist in managing a client’s business.

 

2. Going Concern

 

The Company has senior secured notes, a subordinated term loan and a line of credit payable to a lender with outstanding principal balances of $9,875,000, $16,985,570 and $5,450,000 at September 30, 2016, respectively, and $9,875,000, $16,773,672 and $3,000,000 at December 31, 2015, respectively, which are in default since the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement were not met during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The default on these notes have caused them to become currently due, for an amount significantly in excess of the Company’s cash position, which creates an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amounts due have been recorded as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon refinancing these obligations. If the Company is unable to refinance these notes payable, the Company may be forced to curtail or discontinue operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. (See Note 17).

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2016, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to: (1) impairment of long-lived assets; (2) depreciable lives of assets; (3) allowance for doubtful accounts; (4) fair value of identifiable purchased tangible and intangible assets and (5) unit-based compensation. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue when there is evidence of an arrangement, the service has been provided to the customer, the collection of the fees is reasonably assured and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. Net revenue recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations represents gross billings after deducting credits and refunds.

Medical Billing

 

The Company bills its customers on a monthly basis, in arrears. Fees charged to customers for the services provided are typically based on a percentage of net collections on the Company’s clients’ accounts receivable. The Company does not recognize revenue for service fees until the Company has received notification that a claim has been accepted and the amount which the physician will collect is determined, as the fees are not fixed and determinable until such time.

 

The Company’s revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of return for services provided.

 

Direct Operating Costs — Direct operating costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to clients, claims processing costs, and other direct costs related to the Company’s services. Costs associated with the implementation of new clients are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs include allocated amounts for rent and overhead costs. Depreciation and amortization have not been allocated and are presented separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Internal-Use Software Costs —The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal-use software. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of intangible assets. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life which is generally five years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

 

Costs capitalized for the internal-use software during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $341,161. The internal-use software did not fulfill its intended purpose and the costs capitalized were considered fully impaired in the fourth quarter of 2015 and were written off at that time. No costs related to internal-use software were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses – Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits, travel and advertising expenses and are expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising Costs — The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $158,506 and $156,240 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which are included in selling and marketing expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits with federally insured financial institutions that may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred any losses from such accounts, and management considers the risk to be minimal.

 

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. Accounts receivable are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is established based on reviews of receivable balances, an assessment of the customers’ current creditworthiness and the probability of collection. Accounts are written off when it is determined that collection of the outstanding balance is no longer possible.

 

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 were as follows:

 

6
 

 

    September 30, 2016     December 31, 2015  
Beginning balance   $ 511,737     $ 698,192  
Provision     7,379       166,134  
Write-offs     (46,500 )     (352,589 )
Ending balance   $ 472,616     $ 511,737  

 

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of the existing property and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The estimated useful lives for each major classification of depreciable property and equipment are as follows:

 

  Furniture and fixtures   7 years
       
  Computer equipment   3-5 years
       
  Leasehold improvements   Remaining life of lease

 

The Company amortizes leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the economic life of those assets. Generally, the lease term is the base lease term plus certain renewal option periods for which renewal is reasonably assured and for which failure to exercise the renewal option would result in an economic penalty to the Company.

 

Intangible Assets — Intangible assets include customer contracts and relationships, covenants not-to-compete acquired in connection with acquisitions, and software purchase and development costs. Intangible assets with a definite life, which include customer relationships and non-compete agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives, which are reviewed annually.

 

There was no impairment of intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets —The Company reviews its property and equipment and intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the asset.

 

There was no impairment of property and equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Unit-Based Compensation —The Company recognizes compensation expense for options granted to purchase units based on the grant date fair value. Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions —The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary in India and Sri Lanka are maintained in U.S. dollars, the Company’s functional currency. Transaction adjustments related to the intercompany receivables are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as they are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. Foreign currency transaction gains/losses are reported as a component of other (expense) income-net and amounted to a gain of $19,807 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. There were no foreign currency transaction gains/losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations , which requires that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date with changes in the fair value recorded through earnings.

 

Deferred Rent — Deferred rent consists of rent escalation payment terms related to the Company’s operating leases for its facilities. Deferred rent represents the difference between actual operating lease payments due and straight-line rent expense, which is recorded by the Company over the term of the lease, including any construction period. The excess of the difference between actual operating lease payments due and straight-line rent expense is recorded as a deferred credit in the early periods of the lease when cash payments are generally lower than straight-line rent expense, and is reduced in the later periods of the lease when payments begin to exceed the straight-line expense.

 

Deferred Financing Costs —Transaction fees and costs totaling $1,864,223 were paid during the year ended December 31, 2014 for the purpose of obtaining the Senior Term Notes, the Subordinated Term Loan, and the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolver”). The deferred loan costs were fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2014 due to the default on the loans.

 

Fair Value Measurements — ASC 825, Financial Instruments , requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The Company follows a fair value measurement hierarchy to measure financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

  Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
     
  Level 2 — Inputs are directly or indirectly observable, which include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
  Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value to the extent observable inputs are not available.

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These financial instruments are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances and include cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, borrowings under term loans and line of credit, and notes payable. Due to the short term nature of these financial instruments or that the borrowings bear interest at prevailing market rates, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

 

4. ACQUISITION

 

On October 3, 2014, MediGain acquired all of the membership interests in Millennium for a total purchase consideration of $14,141,434, inclusive of a working capital adjustment of $887,164 and a cash payment of $12,094,416. Also included in the purchase consideration to the Seller was a payment contingent on the seller’s employment with Millennium of $700,000, which is required to be paid monthly in the amount of $29,167 for two years or a lump sum of the remaining portion owed at time of the seller’s termination of employment. The fair value of this liability was determined to be $623,091 at the acquisition date using the implicit interest rate of 11.51% per annum. Promissory notes were also issued at the acquisition date with a fair value of $536,763. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The purchase consideration was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their respective fair values, as determined by management in conjunction with a third party consultant, as follows:

Fair value of operating assets acquired:      
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 250,000  
Accounts receivable     1,730,230  
Property and equipment     235,546  
Other assets     160,729  
Total operating assets acquired     2,376,505  
         
Fair value of intangible assets acquired:        
Software     521,250  
Non-compete agreements     2,505,660  
Customer relationships     3,901,300  
Goodwill     5,495,859  
Total intangible assets acquired     12,424,069  
Total assets acquired   $ 14,800,574  
         
Fair value of liabilities assumed:        
Accounts payable   $ (518,265 )
Accrued liabilities     (140,875 )
Total liabilities assumed   $ (659,140 )
         
Total purchase consideration   $ 14,141,434  

 

The total purchase price consisted of the following:
Cash paid to seller   $ 12,094,416  
Working capital adjustment     887,164  
Contingent payment     623,091  
Promissory notes issued to seller     536,763  
Total purchase price   $ 14,141,434  

 

The amount allocated to goodwill was determined by the excess of the purchase consideration over the tangible and identifiable net assets acquired. Based on management’s estimates and an independent third party valuation, the non-compete agreement and customer relationships were valued as definite life identifiable intangible assets purchased at acquisition and are being amortized over 4 to 5 years.

 

This transaction, along with the related transaction and closing costs, was funded by Prudential Insurance Company of America and Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (together the “Senior Lenders”) who issued $10,000,000 in Series A Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Term Notes”) and a $18,100,000 Subordinated Term Loan funded by Prudential Capital Partners IV, L.P., Prudential Capital Partners Management Fund IV, L.P. and Prudential Capital Partners IV, L.P. (together the “Subordinated Lenders”), of which $4,000,000 and a portion of the Class W common units were converted to Series A Preferred Units (“Preferred Units”). The Senior Lenders and the Subordinated Lenders are collectively “Prudential”. As part of the agreement for the Subordinated Term Loan, the Subordinated Lenders were issued 5,380,286 Class W common Units and 4,000,000 Preferred Units.

 

Furthermore, the two sellers of Millennium were issued subordinated promissory notes in the amount of $510,000 and $90,000, respectively, as part of the purchase price consideration. The total combined fair value of these subordinated promissory notes was determined to be $536,763. The Company also paid $1,864,223 of debt issuance fees associated with the Senior Term Note and the Subordinated Note. The deferred loan costs were fully amortized in 2014 due to the default on the loans from Prudential.

7. Concentrations

 

Financial Risks —Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are managed by periodic credit evaluations of customers. The Company does not require collateral for outstanding trade accounts receivable. No one customer accounts for a significant portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable portfolio and write-offs have not been significant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, there was one customer with sales of approximately 15% and 10%, respectively, of the total.

 

Geographical Risks — The Company’s offices in India and Sri Lanka conduct significant back-office operations for the Company. The Company has no revenue earned outside of the United States. The Company’s operations in India and Sri Lanka are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the United States. The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in India and Sri Lanka and by the general state of India’s and Sri Lanka’s economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, changes in India’s and Sri Lanka’s telecommunications industry, regulatory rules and policies, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad and rates and methods of taxation.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $5,450,000 and 3,000,000, respectively, was outstanding on the Revolver.

 

At September 30, 2016 and December 31 2015, the Revolver was in default and classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the default, the Company is subject to a default interest rate of the greater of 16% or 2% over the prime rate.

 

Subordinated Term Loan

 

On October 3, 2014, as part of the Millennium acquisition, the Company entered into a $18,100,000 Subordinated Term Loan funded by Prudential out of which $4,000,000 of the debt and the Class W common units were converted to Preferred Units. As part of the agreement for the Subordinated Term Loan the Subordinated Lenders were issued 5,380,286 Class common W Units and 4,000,000 Preferred Units. The Subordinated Term Loan matures on October 3, 2020 and accrues interest at 14% per annum. At the Company’s discretion, 2% of the accrued interest from the prior interest payment date can be paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the Subordinated Term Loan, on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had accrued approximately $282,593 of paid-in-kind interest that was capitalized on January 3, 2015 by increasing the principal amounts of the Subordinated Term Loan, and as of September 30, 2016, the Company had accrued approximately $494,491 of paid-in-kind interest that was capitalized on October 3, 2016. The Subordinated Term Loan is subject to certain covenants, including certain profitability ratios and reporting requirements as defined by the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company was in default due to not meeting the financial covenants defined by the credit agreement. The balance outstanding on the Subordinated Term Loan at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $16,985,570 and $16,773,672, respectively. As a result of the default, the Company is subject to a default interest rate of the greater of 16% or 2% over the prime rate.

 

Pursuant to a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Collateral Agreement”), the obligations under the Subordinated Term Loan are guaranteed by Millennium and are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets and Millennium’s assets, now existing or hereafter acquired. (See Note 17.)

11. MEMBERS’ EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

 

Capitalization

 

Pursuant to the October 3, 2014 Amended and Restated MediGain, LLC Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”), certain amendments were executed to allow for certain new members to be included as members into the Company and for others to become dissolved. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the following membership structure was formed: 20,554,477 Class A common units, 4,000,000 Preferred Units valued at $4,000,000 and 5,380,286 Class W common units for a deemed consideration as defined in the LLC agreement. During 2015, additional Class A common units were issued, however, no amendment was made to the LLC Agreement authorizing the additional units. All such units have been recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as issued and outstanding.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, 750,000 Class A common units were disposed of by Chiron Point Investment Fund I (“Chiron”) and were reissued equally to three new investors. Chiron was also issued 649,960 new Class A common units.

Preferred Units

 

In connection with the Subordinated Term Loan (see Note 10), the Subordinated Lenders contributed $4,000,000 and 806,833 class W units in exchange for 4,000,000 Preferred Units. The Preferred Units receive a preferred annual return equal to 8% (the “Return Payment”) of the outstanding balance. Any Return Payments not paid are compounded quarterly and accumulate until such time as they are paid. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not make any Return Payments on the Preferred Units. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the accumulated unpaid Returns Payments on the participating Preferred Units totaled $640,000 and $400,000, respectively, excluding compound interest. The liquidation preference of the Preferred Units is $4,640,000 and $4,400,000 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Such amounts are not included as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Voting Rights

 

All members are entitled to vote. Each Preferred Unit, Class W common Unit and Class A common Unit has one vote.

 

Allocation

 

Earnings and losses of the Company are allocated to the Members according to the formula set forth in the LLC Agreement, so that the capital account of each member is equal to the amount that would be distributed to each member if the Company were to liquidate.

 

Distributions and Liquidation

 

Distributions, including liquidation distributions, have the following priority preferences: (a) first, to members with unpaid tax distributions (b) second, to any members who may have been issued units with preferential rights, (c) third, to members based on their percentage interests.

 

12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings —The Company may be a party to routine claims brought against it in the ordinary course of business. The Company estimates whether such liabilities are probable to occur and whether reasonable estimates can be made, and records a liability when both conditions are met. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters, if and when they arise, cannot be accurately predicted due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, in the opinion of management, based upon current information, no currently pending or overtly threatened claim is expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations, except for one legal claim amounting to $400,000 which was accrued as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. However, even if the Company is successful on the merits, any pending or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings could be time-consuming and expensive to defend or settle and could result in the diversion of significant management time and operational resources, which could materially and adversely affect the Company. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such proceedings could in the future materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Leases — The Company leases certain office space and other facilities under operating leases expiring through 2020. Certain of these leases contain renewal options.

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases for office space and equipment as of September 30, 2016 are as follows:

 

Years ending      
December 31      
2016 (three months)   $ 244,674  
2017     1,008,463  
2018     1,011,547  
2019     721,890  
2020     726,340  
Thereafter     296,000  
    $ 4,008,914  

 

Total rental expense, included in direct operating costs and general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, including amounts for related party leases described in Note 13, amounted to $743,183 and $735,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Guarantees — On June 21, 2013, the Company provided a guarantee to a Sri Lankan bank in connection with a $1 million loan received by an entity owned by a majority member. On May 20, 2014, the Company provided a guarantee to another Sri Lankan bank in connection with a $3.5 million loan received by an entity owned by a majority member.

13. Related PARTIES

 

The Company had a management services agreement with affiliated companies in India and Sri Lanka. Under the terms of the agreements, the foreign affiliates performed the coding and billing services for the Company’s customers and performed accounting duties for the Company. For these services, the Company was required to pay fees to cover the cost of the services provided as well as cover the cost of other operating expenses of the affiliates. The management fees were payable at the end of each month.

 

The amount of the management fees paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 recorded in both direct operating costs and general and administrative expenses were $2,487,207 and $5,132,949, respectively, which included amounts paid to the affiliate that were reimbursements for third party vendors. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had an outstanding payable under the management services agreement of $1,283,484 and $388,042, respectively, which includes reimbursements for third party vendors.

 

During October 2015, the Company created a wholly-owned subsidiary in India, and discontinued utilizing the services of the Indian affiliate. During March 2016, the Indian subsidiary created a wholly-owned subsidiary in Sri Lanka and the Company discontinued utilizing the services of the Sri Lankan affiliate.

The amount of revenue recognized from this customer was $46,700 and $49,751 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The receivable outstanding from this customer was $4,479 and $4,882 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

A minority shareholder is also closely related to a customer and this customer is also a vendor of the Company.

Included in general and administrative expense is $181,827 of salary paid to members during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. There were no salaries paid to members during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Also included in general and administrative expense is rent paid to an employee of $72,000 for both the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

14. Employee Benefit PlanS

 

The Company has a qualified 401(k) plan covering all U.S. employees who have completed six months of service. This plan provides for matching contributions by the Company equal to 50% of applicable employee contribution up to an employer maximum of $1,000 annually. The value of employer matching contributions to the plan and any earnings are vested as follows:

 

Years of
employment
  % vested of employer
contribution
 
1     0 %
2     20 %
3     40 %
4     60 %
5     80 %
6     100 %

 

Employer contributions to the plan were $61,078 and $45,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

16
 

 

15. UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has authorized options for employees to purchase up to 1,000,000 of Class A common Units under the 2011 Unit Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Options are granted to key personnel for the purchase of the Company’s Class A common Units at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The stock options granted under the 2011 Plan generally expire at the date specified by the Board of Members at the grant date, but no more than ten years from the date of grant.

 

The fair value for the Company’s options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs disclosed below. Expected volatilities are based on similar industry-sector indices and individual public companies, with similar business to the Company. The expected term of the options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that the options are granted and are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of valuation.

 

Unit compensation expense was $7,925 and $3,526 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The Company’s outstanding option activity was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

 

    Outstanding

    Weighted average
exercise price

16. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is a Texas limited liability company (LLC) and is not required to pay federal income tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax expense has been recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The Company’s federal taxable income is included in the personal tax returns of the Members; however, the Company pays state income and franchise taxes as part of a combined filing of affiliated entities. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, was $60,305 and $70,168, respectively.

 

The Company applies ASC 740-10, “ Income Taxe s,” in establishing standards for accounting for uncertain tax positions. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions with the presumption of audit detection and applies a “more likely than not” standard to evaluate the recognition of tax benefits or provisions. ASC 740-10 applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefits or provisions to record in the condensed consolidated financial statements. First, the Company determines whether any amount may be recognized and then determines how much of a tax benefit or provision should be recognized. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has no uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any penalty, interest or tax impact related to uncertain tax positions.

 

17. Subsequent event

 

In accordance with ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” , the Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to December 31, 2015, the balance sheet date, through November 29, 2016, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

 

On October 3, 2016, MTBC Acquisition, Corp. (“MAC”) acquired substantially all the medical billing business and assets of MediGain and Millennium. The assets were acquired through a strict foreclosure process whereby MAC acquired the Senior Secured Notes which were collateralized by the assets of MediGain and Millennium. MAC then entered into a strict foreclosure agreement with MediGain and Millennium whereby the parties agreed that substantially all the assets securing the Senior Secured Notes would be transferred to MAC in satisfaction of the outstanding obligations under the Senior Secured Notes. As part of the agreement, MAC acquired the assets as well as certain liabilities expressly assumed. Cash and certain causes of action relating to pre-closing matters were excluded from the acquired assets and were retained by MediGain and Millennium.

Exhibit 99.3

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

We prepared the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements by applying certain pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (“MTBC”). The pro forma adjustments give effect to the following transactions (the ‘‘Transactions’’):

 

  Our acquisition of the assets and assumptions of certain liabilities of MediGain, LLC and its subsidiaries including Millennium Practice Management, LLC, (“Millennium”) and collectively (“MediGain”) on October 3, 2016,
     
  Our acquisition of the assets of WFS Service, Inc., (“WFS”) on July 1, 2016,
     
  Our acquisition of the assets of Renaissance Medical Billing, LLC (“RMB”) on May 2, 2016,
     
  Our acquisition of the assets of Gulf Coast Billing Inc., (“GCB”) on February 15, 2016,
     
  Our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Revenue Cycle Management Division of QHR Technologies Inc., operating in the U.S. as SoftCare Solutions, Inc. (“SoftCare”) on July 10, 2015.

 

MediGain, WFS, RMB, GCB and SoftCare are collectively referred to as the “Acquired Businesses.”

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 give effect to the Transactions as if each of them had occurred on January 1, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 gives effect to the acquisition of MediGain as if it had occurred on September 30, 2016.

 

The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations includes adjustments for our acquisitions under Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The results of the five Transactions are shown for the periods prior to their acquisition by MTBC.

 

We determined that the SoftCare and MediGain transactions involved the acquisition of a business, and considering the guidance in Rule 11-01(d) of Regulation S-X, each met the significance test of Rule 8-04 of Regulation S-X.

 

The MediGain audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years then ended and the interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and for the nine months then ended appear elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

 

We have based the pro forma adjustments upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We describe in greater detail the assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments in the accompanying notes, which you should read in conjunction with these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In many cases, we based these assumptions on estimates. The actual adjustments to our audited consolidated financial statements will depend upon a number of factors. Accordingly, the actual adjustments that will appear in our consolidated financial statements will differ from these pro forma adjustments, and those differences may be material.

 

We account for our acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States (“GAAP”), with MTBC being considered the acquiring entity. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total consideration paid is allocated to an acquired company’s tangible and intangible assets, net of liabilities, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. We estimate the amount of contingent consideration to be paid, if applicable, over the term of the agreement in determining the estimated purchase price. Adjustments to the contingent consideration are made during the term of the agreement and recorded as gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

We provide these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for informational purposes only. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on the assumed dates, nor do they purport to project our results of operations or financial condition for any future period or future date.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In connection with our acquisition of GCB, RMB and WFS, we entered into asset purchase agreements (“APAs”) which are materially similar, acquiring primarily the client relationships. The financials statements of GCB, RMB, and WFS were prepared under GAAP. The financial statements of the GCB, RMB, and WFS were prepared under GAAP.

 

In connection with our acquisition of SoftCare, we entered into an APA with SoftCare Solutions, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, the U.S. subsidiary of QHR Corporation, a publicly traded, Canada-based healthcare technology company. Pursuant to the APA, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of SoftCare’s clearinghouse, electronic data interchange (“EDI”) and billing divisions. SoftCare is referred to as the RCM Division of QHR Technologies Inc. We did not purchase the non-healthcare EDI customers of SoftCare and amounts applicable to those customers have been removed from the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

The audited financial statements of the RCM Division of QHR Technologies Inc. (“RCM Division”), which operates in the U.S. as SoftCare, were prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and in Canadian dollars. We have translated the financial statement amounts into U.S. dollars for purposes of presenting the pro forma financial information. The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet amounts were translated using the end of period exchange rates while the stockholders’ equity accounts were translated at the appropriate historical rates in effect at that date. The amounts in the statement of operations were translated using the average foreign exchange rate during the applicable period.

 

Based on our review of the RCM Division financial statements and other procedures we performed, we determined that there were no significant adjustments necessary to convert the audited financial statement amounts prepared under IFRS to amounts that would have resulted under GAAP. The amounts presented for SoftCare in these pro forma condensed combined financial statements are in accordance with GAAP.

 

To effect the acquisition of MediGain, first, MTBC created a wholly owned subsidiary, MTBC Acquisition, Corp. (“MAC”), which purchased 100% of MediGain’s senior secured debt from Prudential Insurance Company of America and Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (“Prudential”). The debt was collateralized by substantially all of MediGain’s assets.

 

MAC entered into a strict foreclosure agreement with MediGain and Millennium transferring substantially all the assets (including accounts receivable, fixed assets, client relationships and the stock of MediGain’s offshore subsidiaries in India and Sri Lanka) to MAC in satisfaction of the outstanding obligations under the senior secured notes. As part of the agreement, MAC acquired the assets as well as certain liabilities expressly assumed, including approximately $662,000 of trade payables to a limited set of key vendors, approximately $540,000 of payroll and benefits obligations, contingent consideration of $70,000 and pre-closing obligations accrued on the contracts assumed by MAC. Cash in the U.S. was excluded from the acquired assets and retained by MediGain and Millennium.

 

The audited 2014 and 2015 and interim 2016 consolidated financial statements of MediGain were prepared under GAAP.

 

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist in valuing the assets acquired from GCB, RMB and SoftCare. A similar purchase price allocation for WFS was performed by the Company, based on models used internally, using similar methodology to that employed by the third-party valuation specialist. We performed a preliminary purchase price allocation for MediGain based on models used internally. The allocations for RMB, WFS and MediGain are preliminary and are subject to revision, and will be adjusted in future filings.

NOTES:

 

(1) Elimination of customers not acquired – We have adjusted the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 to eliminate revenue, direct operating costs and selling, general and administrative expense associated with SoftCare’s customers not acquired. The SoftCare purchase agreement specified that certain non-healthcare customers of SoftCare’s EDI division were explicitly excluded from the APA and retained by QHR as part of this transaction. Direct operating costs and selling, general and administrative expense for these customers were allocated based on the percentage of revenue within SoftCare’s EDI division in each quarter. No tax effect has been provided with respect to the income from customers not acquired due to the Company’s valuation allowance.
   
(2) Expenses Directly Attributable to the Transactions — The following are non-recurring transaction expenses for professional and other fees incurred by the Company and entities purchased during the year ended December 31, 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016 associated with the transactions.

Nine months ended September 30, 2016     512       -       -       -       -       531       1,043  

 

(3) Amortization of Intangible Assets — We amortize intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. We based the estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets on the amount and timing in which we expect to receive an economic benefit. We assigned these intangible assets a useful life of 3 years based upon a number of factors, including contractual agreements, consumer awareness and economic factors pertaining to the combined companies.

 

The estimates of fair value and weighted-average useful lives could be impacted by a variety of factors including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors. Increased knowledge about these factors could result in a change to the estimated fair value of these intangible assets and/or the weighted-average useful lives from what we have assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the combined effect of any such changes could result in a significant increase or decrease to the related amortization expense estimates.

 

The amortization of intangible assets of our acquisitions, shown below, assumes that the assets were acquired on January 1, 2015. Amortization is computed using the double declining balance method to reflect the expected economic benefit over the period associated with each statement of operations.

Pro forma adjustment   $ 88     $ 556     $ 94     $ 136     $ 89     $ 963  

 

MediGain determined that their intangible assets and goodwill had minimal fair values as of December 31, 2015, prior to the acquisition by MTBC, based on the excess of the fair value of the client relationships acquired in 2014 compared to the book value of the intangible asset, the discounted present value of MediGain’s cash flows as a stand-alone business and the purchase price of the Millenium acquisition. As a result, MediGain recognized an impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 of approximately $7.6 million. This impairment would not have been recognized in this period if MTBC had acquired the assets of MediGain as of January 1, 2015.

 

SoftCare also determined that their intangible assets and goodwill had a minimal fair value as of June 30, 2015, prior to the acquisition by MTBC. As a result SoftCare recognized an impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of approximately $2.1 million. This impairment would not have been recognized in this period if MTBC had acquired the assets of SoftCare as of January 1, 2015.

(4) Provision (Benefit) for Income Tax — The income tax effects reflected in the pro forma adjustments are based on an estimated Federal statutory rate of 34%. We did not record a benefit for taxes for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016 in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations since the Company has a valuation allowance recorded against its Federal and state deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016. The state tax effect was not considered material and has not been included in the amounts below. The following table details the pro forma adjustments to income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2015:

(5) Assets and Liabilities Not Acquired — We adjusted the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet to eliminate approximately $3.8 million of tangible assets held by MediGain that we did not acquire, and approximately $43 million in liabilities that we did not assume. Our acquisition of MediGain’s assets was accomplished by a foreclosure agreement listing specific assets we would receive and certain liabilities we would assume, in satisfaction of the notes we acquired from Prudential. The foreclosure agreement includes the receipt primarily of MediGain’s customer relationships and agreements, accounts receivable, technology, fixed assets, as well as the stock of MediGain’s subsidiaries in India and Sri Lanka (with all their associated assets and liabilities), and the assumption of certain specified accounts payables and accrued compensation liabilities.
   
  Pro Forma Adjustments for Assets and Liabilities Not Acquired — The following schedule summarizes the adjustments to assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed combined balance sheets, including all adjustments above as well as adjustments to intangibles and goodwill specified below.

(6) Intangible Assets — We based our preliminary estimates of each intangible asset type/category that we expect to recognize as part of the MediGain acquisition on the nature of the business and the contracts that we have entered into with the sellers. We also acquired the use of certain technology as part of the acquisition. We based our estimates on experiences from our prior acquisitions and the types of intangible assets that we recognized as part of those acquisitions. In particular, our experience with our prior acquisitions indicates to us that customer contracts and customer relationships, trademarks and technology compose the significant majority of intangible assets for these types of business. We based the preliminary estimated useful lives of these intangible assets on the useful lives that we have experienced for similar intangible assets in prior acquisitions. However, all of these estimates are preliminary, and therefore we have not been able to finalize the accounting for this transaction.
   
  The amounts set forth below reflect the preliminary fair value of the intangible assets of MediGain that we acquired, and their estimated useful lives. All preliminary estimates for the fair value of the intangibles will be adjusted based on the work of a valuation specialist.

Total intangible assets   $ 4,855      

 

(7) Purchase Price Allocation — We recognize the assets and liabilities acquired at their fair value on the acquisition date, and if there is any excess in purchase price over these values it is allocated to goodwill.

 

For MediGain, management has made an initial fair value estimate of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 30, 2016. Our model includes assumptions such as revenue growth rates, profitability rates, attrition rates and weighted average costs of capital, where applicable. These preliminary estimates may differ from the final valuation being prepared by a third-party specialist; and this difference could be material.

 

The strict foreclosure of MediGain includes the transfer of all collateral securing MediGain’s debt, including customer relationships and agreements, accounts receivable, technology, fixed assets, as well as MediGain’s subsidiaries in India and Sri Lanka (with all their associated assets and liabilities), and the assumption of certain specified liabilities. We determined the fair value of the fixed assets acquired by reference to current market prices for such assets, and the value of the assumed liabilities was contractually specified. The fair value of the accounts receivable was determined based on the age of the amounts owed and the customer’s payment history.

 

Included in the purchase price allocation are amounts for customer relationships and trademarks. Using an internally developed model and assumptions regarding future operating results, we determined the fair value of these intangible assets.

 

The excess amount of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The factors which drove our valuation models to allocate a portion of the price to goodwill in the acquisition of MediGain include the following: (i) MediGain has offshore facilities and established vendor relationships, and (ii) the acquisition allows the Company to expand the breadth of its operations. All purchase accounting estimates are subject to revision until the Company finalizes its purchase accounting estimates with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert.

 

For the MediGain acquisition, management has made a preliminary estimate of $762,000 of goodwill will result from this acquisition. We believe that this amount will be deductible for tax purposes over a period of 15 years. However, these estimates are preliminary, and we have not completed the required tax and legal analyses to finalize our determination of deductibility of goodwill for tax purposes. Accordingly, the values of the goodwill recognized from this acquisition and its deductibility for tax purposes set forth in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements could change and may differ materially from what we present here.

 

The following table shows the preliminary purchase price allocation, estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed and calculation of goodwill for MediGain as of September 30, 2016, the date of our most recent balance sheet.

To provide investors with additional insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making surrounding pro forma operations, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, with Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings. Adjusted EBITDA represents the sum of GAAP net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, net interest expense, other expense (income), stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, integration and transaction costs, and changes in contingent consideration. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of our business model. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to assess the strength of the underlying operations of our business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measure that is derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time. We find this especially useful when reviewing pro forma results of operations which include large non-cash amortization of intangibles assets from acquisitions. Investors should consider this non-GAAP financial measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
