PART I

Item 1. Business

Our Company

Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. is a healthcare information technology company that provides a fully integrated suite of proprietary web-based solutions, together with related business services, to healthcare providers practicing in ambulatory care settings. Our integrated Software-as-a-Service (or SaaS) platform helps our customers increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. In addition to our experienced team in the United States, we employ a highly educated workforce of more than 2,000 people in Pakistan, where we believe labor costs are approximately one-half the cost of comparable India-based employees and one-tenth the cost of comparable U.S. employees, thus enabling us to deliver our solutions at competitive prices.

Our flagship offering, PracticePro, empowers healthcare practices with the core software and business services they need to address industry challenges, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Affordable Care Act”), on one unified SaaS platform. We deliver powerful, integrated and easy-to-use ‘big practice solutions’ to small and medium practices, which enable them to efficiently operate their businesses, manage clinical workflows and receive timely payment for their services. PracticePro includes:

As of December 31, 2014, we served approximately 980 practices (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services) representing approximately 2,200 providers, practicing in approximately 60 specialties and subspecialties, in 43 states. As of December 31, 2013, we served approximately 450 practices representing approximately 1,110 providers, practicing in approximately 50 specialties and subspecialties, in 36 states. Approximately 98% of the practices we serve consist of one to ten providers, with the majority of the practices we serve being primary care providers. However, our solutions are scalable and are appropriate for larger healthcare practices across a wide range of specialty areas. In fact, our customer with the largest number of providers is a hospital-based group with 125 providers.

On July 23, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock. The Company sold approximately 4 million shares at a price to the public of $5.00 per share.

On July 28, 2014, the Company purchased the assets of three medical billing companies, Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC, (“Omni”), Practicare Medical Management, Inc. (“Practicare”) and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. (“CastleRock,” and collectively with Omni and Practicare, the “Acquired Businesses”), for a combination of cash and stock.

Employees

Including the employees of our subsidiaries, as of March 2015 we employed approximately 2,200 people worldwide on a full-time basis. We also use the services of a number of part time employees. In addition, all officers work on a full-time basis. Over the next twelve months, we anticipate hiring additional employees only if business revenues increase or our operating requirements warrant such hiring.

Our Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy includes acquiring smaller revenue cycle management companies and then migrating the customers of those companies to our solutions. The revenue cycle management service industry is highly fragmented, with many local and regional revenue cycle management companies serving small medical practices. We believe that the industry is ripe for consolidation and that we can achieve significant growth through acquisitions. We estimate that there are more than 1,500 companies in the United States providing revenue cycle management services and that no one company has more than a 5% share of the market. We further believe that it is becoming increasingly difficult for traditional revenue cycle management companies to meet the growing technology and business service needs of healthcare providers without a significant investment in information technology infrastructure.

In addition, our growth strategy includes strategic partnerships with other industry participants, including electronic health records vendors, in which the vendors refer customers to our services. While we offer our own electronic health records, our strategy includes providing integrated offerings utilizing third party electronic health records while offering customers MTBC’s revenue cycle management, practice management and mobile health capabilities. We have recently hired a Vice President of Sales and intend to hire additional sales and marketing executives to spearhead our customer acquisition initiative, which will include growing existing and developing new strategic partnerships. We believe that these new team members will also be able to successfully leverage the network of relationships of the medical billing companies that we acquired in 2014 and our existing network. By devoting greater resources to sales and marketing, we expect that our organic growth will increase more rapidly, as our current organic growth is driven primarily by customer referrals and internet search engine optimization techniques.

Industry Overview

The modern American healthcare industry is characterized by inefficiencies, waste, complexity, an underutilization of technology and a lack of transparency. According to a report issued by the Institute of Medicine, approximately $2.6 trillion was spent in the United States on healthcare in 2011, of which $750 billion was wasteful spending that does not improve the quality of care that patients receive. An April 2012 study cited by Health Affairs, a health policy journal, estimates that between $476 billion and $992 billion of healthcare spending in 2011 was wasted, with a third of that waste being funded by Medicare and Medicaid programs. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Health, spending is projected to grow at an average rate of 5.7 percent for 2013-2023, 1.1 percentage points faster than expected average annual growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Healthcare spending in the United States is widely viewed as growing at an unsustainable rate, and policymakers and payers are continuously seeking ways to reduce that growth.

The Affordable Care Act and other recent legislative, regulatory and industry drivers are directed toward addressing many of these challenges. For decades, the U.S. healthcare delivery system has been characterized by a vast cottage industry of small, independent practices functioning in a low-technology fee-for-service environment. During 2013, there were more than 500,000 U.S. physicians practicing in ambulatory care settings and it is estimated that approximately 70% of these providers are practicing in groups with 10 or fewer physicians. Recent changes in the industry, including legislative reform and increasing reimbursement complexity, have created significant opportunities for MTBC, as traditional practice tools are not well-suited for the modern medical practice.

Increasingly complex reimbursement processes. New laws and payer requirements have further complicated insurance reimbursement processes. For example, Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurances are increasingly requiring proof of adherence to best practices and improved patient health outcomes to support full reimbursement. Moreover, an upcoming shift to a new generation of insurance codes will dramatically increase the complexity associated with selecting appropriate procedure and diagnosis codes needed to support proper claim reimbursement.

Movement toward healthcare information technology. Since 2011, the federal government has offered financial incentives to eligible healthcare providers who adopt and meaningfully use electronic health records technology. Beginning in 2015, providers who are not meaningfully using this technology incur penalties and these penalties will increase every year through 2019. While these incentives and looming penalties have encouraged many providers to adopt and meaningfully use electronic health records software, we believe that most providers are not utilizing an integrated platform that combines practice management, business intelligence, and revenue cycle management. The lack of an integrated platform leaves them ill-equipped to address the multitude of rapidly growing industry challenges.

Shift in Focus to Preventive Care. In an effort to avoid the negative health effects and increased costs associated with undetected and untreated chronic conditions, the Affordable Care Act requires most health insurance plans to provide co-payment and deductible-free coverage for preventive health services, such as annual well visits. Many believe that this shift in focus will, in the long-term, reduce costs and improve patient health.

Inaccessibility of critical data. To thrive in the emerging healthcare landscape, healthcare practices need timely information, such as health insurance plan eligibility and coverage details, provider performance and productivity data and clinical and reimbursement benchmarking. However, we believe that most small and medium size practices do not have access to this type of real-time data, business intelligence and analytical tools and thus struggle to efficiently operate their practices and make optimal decisions.

Competition

The market for practice management, EHR and RCM information solutions and related services is highly competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future. We face competition from other providers of both integrated and stand-alone practice management, EHR and RCM solutions, including competitors who utilize a web-based platform and providers of locally installed software systems. Our competitors include larger healthcare IT companies, such as athenahealth, Inc., Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc.

Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition and greater financial, marketing and other resources than us. We also compete with various regional RCM companies, some of which may continue to consolidate and expand into broader markets. We expect that competition will continue to increase as a result of incentives provided by the HITECH Act, and consolidation in both the information technology and healthcare industries. In addition, our competitive edge could be diminished or completely lost if our competition develops similar offshore operations in Pakistan or other countries, such as India and the Philippines, where labor costs are lower than those in the U.S. (although higher than in Pakistan). Pricing pressures could negatively impact our margins, growth rate and market share.

Our Solution

We believe that our fully integrated solutions uniquely address the challenges in the industry, including those presented by the Affordable Care Act. Our solutions dramatically simplify the complexities inherent in the reimbursement process and thereby deliver objectively superior results, such as reduced claim denial rates, improved customer days in accounts receivable, reduced patient no-shows, increased well visit encounters and reimbursement. Our solutions empower our customers with the real-time data they need to be efficient and make better decisions, such as real-time insurance eligibility and deductible details, provider productivity details and payer benchmarking.

Our fully integrated suite of technology and business service solutions is designed to enable healthcare practices to thrive in the midst of a rapidly changing environment in which managing reimbursement, clinical workflows and day-to-day administrative tasks is becoming increasingly complex, costly and time-consuming. Moreover, the standard offering fee for our complete, integrated, end-to-end solution is 5% of a practice’s healthcare-related revenues plus a nominal one-time setup fee, and is among the lowest in the industry.

Our Business Strategy

Our objective is to become the leading provider of integrated, end-to-end software and business service solutions to healthcare providers practicing in an ambulatory setting. To achieve this objective, we employ the following strategies:

Our Service Offerings

We offer a suite of fully-integrated, web-based SaaS platform and business services designed for healthcare providers. Our products and services offer healthcare providers a unified solution designed to meet the healthcare industry’s demand for the delivery of cost-efficient, quality care with measureable outcomes. The four primary components of our proprietary web-based suite of services are: (i) practice management applications, (ii) a certified electronic health records solution, (iii) revenue cycle management services and (iv) mobile health applications.

Our flagship product, PracticePro, provides our clients with a seamlessly-integrated, end-to-end solution. Our web-based electronic health records are also available to customers as a standalone product. We regularly update our software platform with the goal of staying on the leading edge of industry developments, payer reimbursements trends and new regulations. 

Web-based Practice Management Application

Our proprietary, web-based practice management application automates the labor-intensive workflow of a medical office in a unified and streamlined SaaS platform. The various functions of the platform collectively support the entire workflow of the day-to-day operations of a medical office in an intuitive and user-friendly format. For example, our platform provides office staff with real-time insurance details to allow them to more efficiently collect patient payments; its automated appointment reminders reduce patient no-show rates, and scheduling functionality results in increased reimbursable patient well visit appointments. A simple, individual and secure login to our web-based platform gives physicians, other healthcare providers and staff members’ access to a vast array of real time practice management data which they can access at the office or from any other location where they can access the Internet. Users can customize the “Practice Dashboard” to display only the most useful and relevant information needed to carry out their particular functions. We believe that this streamlined and centralized automated workflow allows providers to focus on delivering quality patient care rather than office administration.

Web-based Electronic Health Records

Our web-based electronic health records solution is one of the approximately 300 unique ambulatory electronic health record products that, as of February, 2015, has received 2014 Edition ONC-ACB certification as a Complete Ambulatory electronic health records solution. Moreover, in a previous study, KLAS, a leading independent industry assessor of healthcare information technology products, issued its annual electronic health records ranking and MTBC placed number five in our target market of one to ten providers, outperforming most leading electronic health records. A healthcare provider can use our solution to demonstrate “meaningful use” under federal law to earn incentives and avoid penalties. Our web-based electronic health records allow a provider to view all patient information in one online location, thus avoiding the need for numerous charts and records for each patient. Utilizing our web-based electronic health records solution, providers can track patients from their initial appointments; chart clinical data, history, and other personal information; enter and submit claims for medical services; and review and respond to queries for additional information regarding the billing process. Additionally, the electronic health record software delivers a robust document management system to enable providers to transition to paperless environments. The document management function makes available electronic connectivity between practitioners and patients, thereby streamlining patient care coordination and communications.

Revenue Cycle Management and other Technology-driven Business Services

Our proprietary revenue cycle management offering is designed to improve the medical billing reimbursement process, allowing healthcare providers to accelerate and increase collections, reduce errors in submission and streamline workflow to free up practitioners to focus on patient care. Customers using PracticePro will generally see an improvement in their collections, as illustrated by the following for 2014:

These rates are among the most competitive in the industry and compare favorably with the performance of our largest competitor, among others. Our revenue cycle management service employs a proprietary rules-based system designed and constantly updated by our knowledgeable workforce, who screens and scrubs claims prior to submission for payment.

Mobile Health Solutions

The functionality of our cloud-based platform is extended to mobile devices through our integrated suite of mobile health applications. These mobile health applications include physician end-user tools that support, among other things, electronic prescribing, the capture of billing charges in the current medical coding formats, and the creation and secure transfer of clinical audio notes that are converted into text and billing charges. We also offer iCheckIn, a patient check-in app for iOS and Android-based tablet devices. Our patient applications allow patients to access their medical information, securely communicate with their doctors’ office, schedule appointments, request prescription refills, pay balances and check-in for office appointments.

Voting Rights of Our Directors, Executive Officers, and Principal Stockholders

As of December 31, 2014 43.8% of both the shares of our common stock and voting power of our common stock are held by our directors and executive officers. Therefore, they have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of our directors, as well as the overall management and direction of our company. In addition, 9.5% of the shares and voting power of our common stock is held by the former shareholders of Omni, one of the Acquired Businesses.

The selected consolidated statements of operations data presented below for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 as well as the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are derived from our consolidated financial statements not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.

You should read the following selected consolidated financial data in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our Consolidated Financial Statements appearing on page F-1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Note 4 of our Consolidated Financial Statements discusses the acquisitions by the Company in 2013 and 2014 which accounts for a significant portion of the increases in revenue and expenses in those years.

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, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, integration and transaction costs and 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. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table contains a reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA.

Item7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Some of the statements set forth in this section are forward-looking statements relating to our future results of operations. Our actual results may vary from the results anticipated by these statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

MTBC is a healthcare information technology company that provides a fully integrated suite of proprietary web-based solutions, together with related business services, to healthcare providers practicing in ambulatory settings. Our integrated Software-as-a-Service (or SaaS) platform is designed to help our customers increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. We employ a highly educated workforce of more than 2,000 people in Pakistan, where we believe labor costs are approximately one-half the cost of comparable India-based employees and one-tenth the cost of comparable U.S. employees, thus enabling us to deliver our solutions at competitive prices.

Our flagship offering, PracticePro, empowers healthcare practices with the core software and business services they need to address industry challenges, including the Affordable Care Act, on one unified SaaS platform. We deliver powerful, integrated and easy-to-use ‘big practice solutions’ to small and medium practices, which enable them to efficiently operate their businesses, manage clinical workflows and receive timely payment for their services. PracticePro consists of:

Adoption of our solutions requires only a modest upfront expenditure by a provider. Additionally, our financial performance is linked directly to the financial performance of our clients because the vast majority of our revenues is based on a percentage of our clients' collections. The standard fee for our complete, integrated, end-to-end solution is 5% of a practice’s healthcare-related revenues plus a one-time setup fee, and is among the lowest in the industry.

Our growth strategy involves two approaches: acquiring smaller RCM companies and then migrating the customers of those companies to our solutions, as well as partnering with EHR and other vendors that lack an integrated solution and integrating our solutions with their offerings. The RCM service industry is highly fragmented, with many local and regional RCM companies serving small medical practices. We believe that the industry is ripe for consolidation and that we can achieve significant growth through acquisitions. We further believe that it is becoming increasingly difficult for traditional RCM companies to meet the growing technology and business service needs of healthcare providers without a significant investment in information technology infrastructure.

We believe we will also be able to accelerate organic growth by partnering with industry participants, utilizing them as channel partners to offer integrated solutions to their customers. We have entered into arrangements with industry participants from which we began to derive revenue starting in mid-2014, including emerging EHR providers and other healthcare vendors that lack a full suite of solutions. We have developed application interfaces with several EHR systems, as well as providers of paper-based clinical forms to create integrated offerings, together with device and lab integration.

Our Pakistan operations accounted for approximately 32% of total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 48% of expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013. A significant portion of those expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 78% for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 73% for the year ended December 31, 2013). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our Pakistan operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry participants. All of the medical billing companies that we have acquired use domestic labor or subcontractors from higher cost locations to provide all or a substantial portion of their services. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions as we shift these labor costs to Pakistan.

Key Performance Measures

We consider numerous factors in assessing our performance. Key performance measures used by management, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, are non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP.”) Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, and we provide reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share provide an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that an investor’s understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these adjusted performance measures.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin exclude the following elements which are included in GAAP Net Income (Loss):

Set forth below is a presentation of our “Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” which represents Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013:

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share exclude the following elements which are included in GAAP Net Income (Loss):

The following table shows our reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013:

For purposes of determining Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share, the Company used the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the years December 31, 2014 and 2013, including the shares which were issued but are subject to forfeiture and considered contingent consideration, in order to provide insight into results considering the total number of shares which were issued at the time of the acquisitions. Accordingly, the end-of-period diluted shares include 1,287,529 of contingently issuable shares. No tax effect has been provided in computing Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share as the Company has sufficient carry forward losses to offset the applicable income taxes. The table below shows the composition of end-of-period shares.

Quarterly Results of Operations

*Due to the issuance of additional shares of common stock in connection with the Company’s IPO, the aggregate quarterly earnings per share amounts do not equal the full year 2014 amount.

Key Metrics

In addition to the line items in our consolidated financial statements, we regularly review the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections, make strategic business decisions, and assess market share trends and working capital needs. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends in our business.

Set forth below are our key operating and financial metrics for customers using our platform, which excludes acquired customers who have not migrated to our platform. Practices using our platform accounted for approximately 64% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 due to the three Acquired Businesses during the second half of the year and approximately 90% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013.

First Pass Acceptance Rate: We define first pass acceptance rate as the percentage of claims submitted electronically by us to insurers and clearinghouses that are accepted on the first submission and are not rejected for reasons such as insufficient information or improper coding. Clearinghouses are third parties that process the submission of claims to insurers and require compliance with insurance companies’ formatting and other submission rules before submitting those claims. For the purposes of calculating first pass acceptance rate, consistent with industry practice, we exclude claims submitted under real-time adjudication procedures, which are procedures that allow a healthcare provider to determine, at the point of care, if a service they are rendering will be paid. Our first-time acceptance rate was approximately 97% for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 98% for the year ended December 31, 2013, which compares favorably to the average of the top twelve payers of approximately 94%, as reported by the American Medical Association.

First Pass Resolution Rate: First pass resolution rate measures the percentage of primary claims that are favorably adjudicated and closed upon a single submission. Our first pass resolution rate was approximately 96% for the year ended December 31, 2014 and approximately 95% for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Days in Accounts Receivable: Days in accounts receivable measures the median number of days between the day a claim is submitted by us on behalf of our customer, and the date the claim is paid to our customer. Our clients’ median days in accounts receivable was approximately 35 days for primary care and 38 days for combined specialties for the year ended December 31, 2014, and approximately 32 days for primary care and 36 days for combined specialties for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the national average of 38, as reported by the Medical Group Management Association, an association for professional administrators and leaders of medical group practices. Higher first pass resolution rates and effective follow-up helped us to achieve this rate, which reduces our customers’ collection cycle of claims, leading to increased revenue and customer satisfaction.

Customer Renewal Rate: Our customer renewal rate measures the percentage of our clients who were a party to a services agreement with us on January 1 of a particular year and continued to operate and be a client on December 31 of the same year. It also includes acquired accounts, if they are a party to a services agreement with the company we acquired and are generating revenue for us, so long as the risk of client loss under the respective purchase agreement has fully shifted to us by January 1 of the particular year. Our renewal rate for 2014 and 2013 was 85% each year. The renewal rate for our customers who are also users of our EHR for 2014 and 2013 was 93% and 90%, respectively. The renewal rate for our customers who are meaningful users (i.e., those who successfully attested for meaningful use and earned a bonus) of our EHR for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately 93% and 95%, respectively. The percentage of our revenue we generated during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 which came from all users of our EHR was 25% and 50%, respectively, and from meaningful users of our EHR was 14% and 27%, respectively.

Providers and Practices Served: As of December 31, 2014, we served over 2,200 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 980 practices. As of December 31, 2013, we served approximately 1,110 providers representing approximately 450 practices.

Sources of Revenue

Revenue: We derive our revenues primarily as a percentage of payments collected by our customers that use our comprehensive product suite, which includes revenue cycle management as well as the ability to use our electronic health records and practice management software and mobile health applications as part of the bundled fee. These payments accounted for approximately 92% of our revenues during the year ended December 31, 2014 and approximately 90% of our revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013. This includes customers utilizing our proprietary product suite, PracticePro, as well as customers from acquisitions which we are servicing utilizing third-party software. Key drivers of our revenue include growth in the number of providers we are servicing, the number of patients served by those providers, and collections by those providers. We also generate revenues from one-time setup fees we charge for implementing PracticePro; the sale of our stand-alone web-based EHR solution, ChartsPro; and from transcription, coding, indexing and other ancillary services. Our plan is to move customers acquired through acquisitions to our operating platform in order to increase efficiencies. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we moved approximately 72% of the customers from the Acquired Businesses to our operating platform.

Operating Expenses

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating cost consists primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our customers, claims processing costs, and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately in the consolidated statements of operations. Our Pakistan operations accounted for approximately 34% and 56% of direct operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Acquired Businesses represented 48% of direct operating costs in 2014. As we grow, we expect to achieve further economies of scale and to see our direct operating costs decrease as a percentage of revenue.

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, commissions, travel and advertising expenses. These have been relatively low in the past (under 2% of our revenue), as we have often found it to be more economical to grow by the acquisition of other medical billing companies than by engaging in directed marketing efforts to prospective customers. However, in December 2014 we hired a VP of Sales and going forward, we intend to invest in marketing, business development and sales resources to expand our market share, building on our existing customer base.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs and third-party contractor costs. Because we incorporate our technology into our services as soon as technological feasibility is established, such costs are currently expensed as incurred. We expect our research and development expense to increase in the future in absolute terms, but decrease as a percentage of revenue. Consistent with our growth plans, we are hiring developers, analysts and project managers in an effort to streamline our operational processes and further develop our products.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, occupancy and insurance, software license fees and outside professional fees. Our Pakistan office accounted for approximately 28% and 43% of general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Acquired Businesses represented 22% of general and administrative expenses in 2014.

Contingent Consideration. Contingent consideration represents the amount payable to the sellers of the Acquired Businesses based on the achievement of defined performance measures contained in the purchase agreements. Contingent consideration consists solely of the Company’s common stock and is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation expense is charged using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Depreciation for computers is calculated over three years, while remaining assets (except leasehold improvements) are depreciated over five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the economic life of those assets.

Amortization expense is charged on a straight-line basis over a period of three years for most intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions, including customer contracts and relationships and covenants not to compete, as well as purchased software. We concluded that three years reflects the period during which the economic benefits are expected to be realized, and that the straight-line method is appropriate as the majority of the cash flows are expected to be recognized ratably over that period without significant degradation.

Our acquisition of Metro Medical during 2013 added $1,156,000 of intangibles to our balance sheet, and our acquisitions of Omni, Practicare and CastleRock during 2014 added $9,150,000 of intangibles. Amortization for the 2014 acquisitions is $1,525,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our working capital line of credit, term loans and notes issued in connection with acquisitions, offset by interest income. Our other income (expense) results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains (losses), and amounted to $122,000 of other expense and $200,000 of other income for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Income Tax. In preparing our financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense and related disclosures. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience, current trends and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

We believe that the accounting policies are those policies that involve the greatest degree of complexity and exercise of judgment by our management. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations. For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 3 in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As a result of the 2014 acquisitions, the Company adjusts the contingent consideration liability at the end of each reporting period based on fair value inputs representing both changes in the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the probability of an adjustment to the purchase price.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth our consolidated results of operations as a percentage of total revenue for the years shown.

Comparison of 2014 and 2013

Revenue. Total revenue of $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by $7.8 million or 75% from revenue of $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 included $8.2 million of revenue from customers we acquired on July 28, 2014. The customers from the Acquired Businesses were the primary source of new revenue during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating costs of $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, increased by $6.4 million or 149% from direct operating costs of $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Salary cost in the U.S. increased by $4.3 million or 372% for the year ended December 31, 2014 due to the addition of 152 U.S. employees who are classified in direct operating costs, primarily from the Acquired Businesses. Salary cost included $164,000 of one time bonuses at the time of the IPO, as well as $253,000 of severance for employees whose positions were eliminated. Subcontractor costs were $923,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2013. These subcontractors were performing services for the Acquired Businesses before their acquisition, and were phased out in the first quarter of 2015.

Salary and other direct operating costs in Pakistan increased by $1.2 million or 51% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of the addition of approximately 900 employees in Pakistan who were hired primarily to service customers of the Acquired Businesses to eliminate future utilization of subcontractors and reduce the dependence on U.S.-based employees by at least 70%.

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense of $253,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by $4,300 or 2% from selling and marketing expense of $249,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, as the Company focused its efforts on servicing the new customers from the Acquired Businesses. The Company hired a Vice President of Sales in December 2014 which will result in higher sales and marketing expense in 2015.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense of $9.9 million, increased by $5.2 million or 110% from general and administrative expense of $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, with additional expenses resulting primarily from the Acquired Businesses, including payroll, facilities, costs of third-party software, etc. Salary expense in the U.S. increased by $1.7 million or 157% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. Salary expense in Pakistan increased by $462,000 or 56% for the year ended December 31, 2014, as a result of the addition of approximately 100 administrative and support employees in Pakistan. Facilities costs increased by $2.0 million or 668% for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to the facilities cost of the Acquired Businesses. Legal and professional fees increased by $1.0 million or 193% for the year ended December 31, 2014, including $600,000 of acquisition costs and additional costs of being a public company during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense of $532,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by $146,000 or 38% from research and development expense of $386,000, as a result of adding additional technical employees in Pakistan and $32,000 of one-time bonuses at the time of the IPO. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel related costs. All such costs are expensed as incurred.

Contingent Consideration. The change of $1.8 million relates to the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration. This gain resulted from a decrease in the price of the Company’s common stock and a change in the probability of the payment based on the forecasted revenues of the Acquired Businesses.

Depreciation. Depreciation of $260,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, increased by $27,000 or 12% from depreciation of $233,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Amortization Expense. Amortization expense of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, increased by $1.8 million or 254% from amortization expense of $715,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase resulted from the intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Metro Medical on June 30, 2013 and our acquisitions of Omni, Practicare and CastleRock on July 28, 2014, which are primarily being amortized over three years. The Acquired Businesses included $148,000 of acquired backlog, an intangible asset resulting from the treatment of revenue and expenses from July 28 through July 31, 2014, which was amortized in full by September 30, 2014, because virtually all the cash was received or disbursed over the first 60 days from the date of the acquisition.

Interest Income. Interest income of $27,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, increased by $2,700 or 11% from interest income of $24,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, due to increased late payment fees from customers.

Interest Expense. Interest expense of $183,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, increased by $23,000 or 15% from interest expense of $160,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase was due to interest on borrowings under our line of credit, convertible note, the note from our CEO, as well as the note payable from the purchase of Metro Medical on June 30, 2013.

Other (Expense) Income - net. Other expense - net was $135,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to other income - net of $230,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. An increase in the exchange rate of Pakistan rupees per U.S. dollar by 9% from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 was followed by a decline of 5% from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. The increase in exchange rates in 2013 caused an exchange gain of $200,000, and the decline in exchange rates in 2014 resulted in an exchange loss of $122,000.

Income Tax Provision. There was a $176,000 provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $32,000 or 22% compared to $144,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The pre-tax loss increased from $34,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred three years of cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets of $1.9 million at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2013, there was a valuation allowance against the State deferred tax assets of $82,000. The Company’s effective tax rate is (4.1%) and our statutory rate is 34%. The primary reason for this difference pertains to the net operating loss incurred in the current year whereby the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

The Company will maintain a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. While our plan is to be profitable and begin utilizing these deferred tax assets within the next 12 months, there is not sufficient evidence to allow us to avoid the full valuation allowance in 2014. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and an income tax benefit for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the timing and level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

The Company has state NOL carry forwards of approximately $4.1 million which will expire at various dates from 2032 to 2034. The Company has a Federal NOL carry forward of approximately $3.6 million which will expire in 2034.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the years presented.

We completed our initial public offering in July 2014, which provided us with approximately $4.3 million in additional cash after giving effect to the underwriter’s discount, offering and acquisition expenses, and cash used to fund the purchase of the Acquired Businesses. In addition, we increased capital expenditures to $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 to increase the capacity of our facilities in Pakistan and increased expenses in Pakistan by $2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 as we grew our team in Pakistan by approximately 1,000 employees, with the goal of reducing domestic expenses and spending on subcontractors from the Acquired Businesses as planned.

TD Bank increased our line of credit from $1.2 million to $3.0 million in March 2015. With this increase, plus the cost reductions we have achieved from the Acquired Businesses, we believe our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures requirements for at least the next 12 months. As of the date of this filing, the Company had fully drawn the $3.0 million line and had a cash balance of approximately $1.0 million.

The Company generated positive cash flows from operations during each of the years 2008-2013, including $929,000 of positive cash flow from operations in 2013, although there were negative cash flows from operations of $2.7 million in 2014. Due to operating losses and a working capital deficiency in 2014, the Company relies on the line of credit. The line of credit renews annually, and currently matures in November 2015, and as of this date, the Company has not extended the line of credit, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph that indicated there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report for our 2014 financial statements.

The Company has significantly reduced its operating expenses from the Acquired Businesses and has not received any indications from TD Bank that the line of credit would not be renewed; however, if the terms of the renewal were not acceptable to the Company or the line of credit was not renewed, the Company would need to obtain additional financing.

In order for us to grow and successfully execute our business plan which includes future acquisitions, we may require additional financing which may not be available or may not be available on acceptable terms. If such financing is available in the form of equity, existing stockholders may see their percentage ownership diluted. Failure to obtain financing when needed may have a material adverse effect on our financial position. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support the operation or growth of our business could be significantly impaired and our operating results may be harmed.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $2.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $929,000 cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2013. The net loss increased by $4.5 million, of which $1.8 million was additional depreciation and amortization, $31,000 was additional provision for taxes and $259,000 was stock-based compensation, offset by a gain of $1.8 million from the change in the contingent consideration liability. Cash operating expenses grew $3.9 million faster than revenue during the year ended December 31, 2014. The direct expenses from the Acquired Businesses were approximately equal to the revenue from these businesses, but due to the growth of the team in Pakistan, there was approximately $2.1 million of incremental expenses in 2014 which will offset costs in the United States and subcontractors in future years. In addition, there was $863,000 of additional costs of being a public company, including audit fees, compensation for outside directors and increased premiums for liability insurance, transaction costs of $785,000 and $483,000 of one time bonuses to employees with at least one year of service at the time of the IPO.

Accounts receivable increased by $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with an increase in accounts receivable of $22,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, and accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses grew by $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with an increase of $190,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Both of these increases result from the Acquired Businesses, since these were asset purchases, and accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities were not acquired.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $12.7 million, an increase of $11.9 million compared to $706,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013. We spent $11.5 million in cash for the purchase of the Acquired Businesses, compared to $275,000 for the initial cash portion of the purchase of Metro Medical during the year ended December 31, 2013. Capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2014 were $1.1 million, an increase of $830,000 compared to $286,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily to increase the capacity of our Pakistan facilities.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $15.9 million, compared to $33,000 in the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we completed our IPO, generating net cash of $4.3 million after paying offering expenses, acquisition expenses and paying the cash portion of the purchase price for the Acquired Businesses. We repaid $1.2 million of notes payable from acquisitions made in prior years as well as $266,000 borrowed from our CEO to fund IPO expenses. Average monthly borrowings from our revolving line of credit with TD Bank were $896,000 in the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $427,000 in the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our line of credit renews annually at the option of the lender, and currently matures on November 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, $1.2 million was drawn on the line. During March, 2015, our line of credit was increased to $3.0 million with no change in lending terms.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We have contractual obligations under our line of credit, notes issued in connection with our pre-2014 acquisitions and contingent consideration in connection with the 2014 acquisitions. TD Bank waived the need for compliance with our debt service coverage covenant in 2014. We also maintain operating leases for property and certain office equipment. For additional information, see Note 11 in the consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Other than our operating leases for office space, computer equipment and other property, we do not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17C.F.R. 229.10(f)(1) and are not required to provide information under this item.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

See “Index to Consolidated Financial Statements” which appears on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) at December 31, 2014 as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective at December 31, 2014 due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below. Notwithstanding the material weakness discussed below, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurances of achieving their control objective.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management has identified a material weakness in our internal controls related to the timely and accurate review over our financial closing and reporting process, and the accounting pertaining to certain complex financial transactions. Management’s remediation efforts to date have included the hiring of additional accounting personnel and implementing additional controls and will include upgrading our accounting system with multi-company and multi-currency capabilities, which has already begun. Remediation efforts are expected to continue through 2015 until such time as management is able to conclude that its remediation efforts are operating and effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting including changes pertaining to the hiring of additional accounting personnel and implementing additional controls.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by SEC rules for newly public companies as well as the reduced reporting requirements for smaller reporting companies.

Item 9B. Other Information

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Medical Transcription Billing, Corp.

Somerset, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their 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. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, due to the operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in 2014 and working capital deficiency the Company relies on a line of credit which expires in November 2015. As of this date, the Company has not extended the line of credit, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
