NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Data

 

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

 

Net Loss

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260, Earnings Per Share.  The following summarizes the potential outstanding common stock of the Company at March 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

 

 

March 31, 2014

 

March 31, 2013

 

Employee stock purchase plan estimated share options outstanding

 

97,333

 

31,667

 

Common stock options and restricted stock units outstanding

 

4,356,616

 

4,281,561

 

Common stock options and restricted stock units available for grant

 

3,140,092

 

2,440,947

26,271,593

 

25,276,515

 

Total

 

33,865,634

 

32,030,690

 

 

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

 

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

If the outstanding vested options or restricted stock units were exercised or converted into common stock, the result would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, deferred revenue and other current liabilities. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature. The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

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

 

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

 

The Company writes off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote and when the Company believes collection efforts have been fully exhausted and it does not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect. The Company performs write-offs on a monthly basis. In the patient services segment, the Company wrote off $1,925 and $2,168 of receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. There was no impact on the net receivables reported on the balance sheets, or bad debt expense reported on the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013, as a result of these write-offs. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $2,359 and $2,467 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no write-offs in the product and research services segments.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of the following:

 

 

 

March 31,

December 31,
2013

$

$

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

 

Goodwill

 

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

 

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

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

The Company’s loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, was increased by $1,003 and $700, respectively, as a result of stock-based compensation expense incurred. The impact of stock-based compensation expense was $(0.04) and $(0.03) on basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of its share-based awards to employees and directors using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the use of certain subjective assumptions. The most significant of these assumptions are the estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of the Company’s stock and the expected term of the award. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company based the estimates of expected volatility on the historical average of our stock price. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based awards granted are expected to be outstanding. Other assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model include the risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate for periods pertaining to the contractual life of each option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield of a similar duration in effect at the time of grant. The Company has never paid, and does not expect to pay, dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

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

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

 

Based on the above assumptions, the per share weighted average fair value of the options granted under the stock option plan for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $4.97 and $1.48, respectively.

5.              Income Taxes

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the quarterly period in which they occur. The Company reviews and updates its estimated annual effective tax rate each quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. The Company recorded $2,869 of a tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the Mednet acquisition that occurred in January 2014.

 

As of March 31, 2014, in accordance with ASC 740, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, with exception to the deferred tax liability recorded for indefinite lived intangibles. The Company will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until such time it can reasonably estimate the probability of realizing a benefit from the deferred tax assets.

 

6.              Credit Agreement

 

On August 29, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with MidCap Financial, LLC to provide revolving loan borrowings with a loan commitment of up to $15,000, with an option by the Company to increase to a maximum loan commitment of $30,000. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 4.75%. An unused line fee of 0.50% per annum is payable on any unused line balance, determined as the total loan commitment of $15,000 minus the average daily balance of the sum of the revolving loan borrowings outstanding during the preceding month. Furthermore, if the Company terminates the agreement at any point prior to the loan expiration date, the Company will incur a loan origination fee of 1.00% of the loan commitment due immediately preceding the termination. The Credit Agreement is secured by the Company’s personal property, inventory and other assets and expires in August 2016.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any outstanding balance on the credit agreement.

 

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

 

7.              Segment Information

 

The Company operates under three segments: patient services, product and research services. The patient services business segment’s principal focus is on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders, through its core Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry™ (“MCOT™”), wEvent, event, Holter and Pacemaker monitoring services, as well as INR services in a healthcare setting. The product business segment focuses on the development, manufacturing, testing and marketing of medical devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals.

8.              Civil Investigative Demand

 

On August 25, 2011, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Western District of Washington. The CID states that it was issued in the course of an investigation under the federal false claims act and seeks documents for the period January 1, 2007 through the date of the CID. The CID indicates that the investigation concerns allegations that the Company may have used inappropriate diagnosis codes when submitting claims for payment to Medicare for its real-time, MCOT™ services. The Company has provided information requested under the CID.  While the Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims, during the first quarter of 2014 the Company began negotiations for a potential settlement, and as result recorded a non-operating charge of $3,100.  This reserve was recorded to Other loss in the consolidated statements of operations and is included in Accrued Liabilities on the balance sheet.  Additionally, the Company has incurred $1,600 in related legal and consulting expenses to date.

 

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

 

9.              Subsequent Events

 

On April 3, 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CardioNet, LLC, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the cardiac monitoring business of Biomedical Systems Corporation (the “Seller”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, CardioNet acquired substantially all of the assets of and certain liabilities relating to the Seller’s cardiac event monitoring, Holter monitoring and mobile telemetry monitoring services (other than certain ECG services and monitoring in connection with clinical trials) in consideration of $8,000 in cash and $650 of the Company’s common stock (based on the trailing average closing stock price for the 20 trading days ending immediately prior to the closing date).  Of this amount, $1,125 (consisting of cash and shares of common stock) will be deposited in escrow for a period of 12 to 18 months as security for any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller contained in the Purchase Agreement.  The $8,000 cash was funded thru the revolving loan commitment with Midcap Financial.

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

 

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

 

Company Background

 

BioTelemetry operates under three segments: patient services, product and research services. The patient services segment is focused on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias, or heart rhythm disorders. The Company provides cardiologists and electrophysiologists who prefer to use a single source of cardiac monitoring services with a full spectrum of solutions, ranging from the differentiated Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry™ (“MCOT™”) service to wEvent, event, Holter, Pacemaker and International normalized ratio (“INR”) monitoring. INR monitoring is a measurement of blood coagulation in the circulatory system and is prescribed for patients on long term warfarin therapy. The product business segment focuses on the development, manufacturing, testing and marketing of medical devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals. The research services segment is engaged in central core laboratory services providing cardiac monitoring, scientific consulting and data management services for drug and medical device trials.

 

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

 

Recent Acquisitions

 

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

 

On April 3, 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CardioNet, LLC, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the cardiac monitoring business of Biomedical Systems Corporation (the “Seller”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, CardioNet acquired substantially all of the assets of and certain liabilities relating to the Seller’s cardiac event monitoring, Holter monitoring and mobile telemetry monitoring services (other than certain ECG services and monitoring in connection with clinical trials) in consideration of $8 million in cash and $0.7 million of the Company’s common stock (based on the trailing average closing stock price for the 20 trading days ending immediately prior to the closing date).  Of this amount, $1.1 million (consisting of cash and shares of common stock) will be deposited in escrow for a period of 12 to 18 months as security for any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller contained in the Purchase Agreement.  The $8 million cash was funded thru the revolving loan commitment with Midcap Financial.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Patient Services

 

Patient services revenue includes revenue from MCOT™, wEvent, event, Holter, Pacemaker and INR monitoring services. The Company receives a significant portion of its revenue from third party commercial insurance organizations and governmental entities. It also receives reimbursement directly from patients through co-pays and self-pay arrangements. Billings for services reimbursed by contracted third party payors, including Medicare, are recorded as revenue net of contractual allowances. Adjustments to the estimated receipts, based on final settlement with third party payors, are recorded upon settlement. If the Company does not have sufficient historical information regarding collectability from a given payor to support revenue recognition at the time of service, revenue is recognized when cash is received. Unearned amounts are appropriately deferred until service is performed. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, revenue from Medicare as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue was 31.9% and 34.3%, respectively.

 

Product

 

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

 

15



Table of Contents

 

Research Services

 

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

 

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

 

The Company records reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including freight, as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Revenue generally is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to government authorities.

 

Reimbursement-Patient Services

 

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

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

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

 

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

 

The Company will write-off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote, the receivables have been fully reserved, and when the Company believes collection efforts have been fully exhausted and it does not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect. The Company performs write-offs on a monthly basis. The Company wrote off $1.9 million and $2.2 million of receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $2.4 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Integration, Restructuring and Other Charges

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $3.0 million of the integration, restructuring and other charges.  The legal charges of $2.4 million related primarily to legal fees for non-recurring patent litigation for the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, the $0.4 million of professional fees incurred for recent acqusitions and $0.2 million of severance and employee related costs due to restructuring and integration related activities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred $1.2 million of integration, restructuring and other charges.  Of this amount, the Company incurred $0.5 million in legal costs associated with ongoing legal matters, $0.1 million of professional fees related to corporate restructuring activities and $0.6 million of severance and employee related costs due to restructuring and integration related actives.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues.    Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $37.2 million compared to $32.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $4.8 million, or 14.6%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in patient services revenue of $4.6 million.  The increase resulted from the acquisition of Mednet, as well as increased volume across all products which was offset by the previously announced price reduction from Medicare, as well as reduced rates from commercial contracts tied to Medicare. Product sales also increased $0.2 million primarily as a result of the acquisition of Mednet.

 

Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased to $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase of $2.1 million, or 10.7%, was primarily due to the acquisition of Mednet, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit from the remaining patient services segment related to the reduction in reimbursement rates and a $0.3 million decrease from the product segment, excluding Mednet.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 58.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 60.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

General and Administrative Expense.    General and administrative expense was $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents of $12.0 million and net accounts receivable of $23.6 million. The Company had working capital of $10.3 million as of March 31, 2014.

 

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Mednet Entities, the Company entered into a promissory note in the principal amount of $9.8 million.  The Company used $8.6 million to repay the assumed debt for Mednet and $1.2 million to fund Mednet’s working capital needs.  The Company also amended its existing credit agreement with Midcap which provides the Company with access to borrowings of up to $15.0 million. As of March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any outstanding balance on the credit agreement; however the Company withdrew $8.0 million in connection with the purchase of the cardiac monitoring business of Biomedical Systems Corporation on April 3, 2014.

 

The Company used $2.1 million of cash from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company’s ongoing operations during the three month period resulted in a loss of $4.1 million, which included $3.8 million of non-cash items related to depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense.

 

The Company used $5.7 million for the purchase of Mednet and $3.9 million for capital purchases, primarily related to the investment in medical devices in the patient and research services segments for use in its ongoing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION.

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

On August 25, 2011, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Western District of Washington. The CID states that it was issued in the course of an investigation under the federal false claims act and seeks documents for the period January 1, 2007 through the date of the CID. The CID indicates that the investigation concerns allegations that the Company may have used inappropriate diagnosis codes when submitting claims for payment to Medicare for its real-time, MCOT™ services. The Company provided information requested under the CID.  While the Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims, during the first quarter of 2014 the Company began negotiations for a potential settlement, and as result recorded a non-operating charge of $3.1 million.  This reserve was recorded to Other loss in the consolidated statements of operations and is included in Accrued Liabilities on the balance sheet.  Additionally, the Company has incurred $1.6 million in legal related and consulting expenses to date.

 

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