The Company previously adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires that management evaluate whether there are relevant conditions and events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
As part of the evaluation, management considered that on June 30, 2017, the Company had $5.8 million of cash and had a working capital deficit of $4.1 million. The loss before income taxes was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, of which $1.5 million represents non-cash depreciation and amortization.
The Company has a credit facility with Opus Bank (“Opus”) established in the third quarter of 2015, which provides additional liquidity. The credit facility includes term loans, plus a line of credit that have a combined borrowing limit of $10 million, net of contractual repayments, all of which were fully utilized as of June 30, 2017. During the second quarter, the Company paid down approximately $2.8 million of its Opus term loans from the proceeds of the equity financings discussed below, plus $667,000 as part of the normal loan amortization schedule. As of June 30, 2017 the Company owes a total of $5.2 million to Opus. The line of credit expires September 1, 2018 and the term loans are scheduled to be paid by September 2018 based on the current payment schedule. The Company relies on the term loans and line of credit for working capital purposes (see Note 8). The Company is in compliance with all covenants, and revised its covenants with Opus in March 2017 to more favorable terms, which improves the likelihood that it will stay in compliance. Since Opus publicly announced that it was exiting lending to technology-based companies, the Company is talking to other lenders to replace Opus.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company presently owes $5 million out of the total purchase price of $7 million for the MediGain acquisition to Prudential Insurance Company of America and Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (together “Prudential”), which is unsecured and became due earlier in 2017. Opus’ approval is required for any payment to Prudential. While the Company, Prudential and Opus all indicate a continuing intention to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution, Opus has not yet approved of a mutually agreeable payment amount between the Company and Prudential. The Company’s available cash will not be sufficient to meet its current and anticipated cash requirements without additional financing. Accordingly, the factors noted above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has taken various steps to mitigate this condition as detailed below.
Management achieved extensive expense reductions following the acquisition of MediGain in October 2016. The cost cutting included closing certain domestic and foreign facilities, eliminating reliance on subcontractors, and reducing non-essential personnel, where work could be performed by offshore employees more cost-effectively. Direct operating and general and administrative costs decreased by $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively from the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2017. This represented reductions of 31% and 35%, respectively. This cost-reduction allowed the Company to achieve positive cash flow from operations for the quarter of approximately $179,000.
During the second quarter of 2017, the Company completed two equity financings. In May 2017, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 1 million shares of its common stock at $2.30 per share, raising net proceeds of approximately $2.0 million. In June 2017, the Company completed a public offering of approximately 295,000 shares of its 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share, raising net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million.
Collectively, these developments dramatically improved the financial position of the Company. As a result of the common and preferred stock sales and the positive cash flow from operations in the second quarter (a $1 million improvement from the cash used by operations during the first quarter), the Company’s cash position improved from $1.2 million in the first quarter to $5.8 million on June 30, 2017, and the working capital deficit improved from $9.6 million at the end of the first quarter to $4.1 million on June 30, 2017. Management continues to focus on the Company’ overall profitability, including growing revenue and managing expenses, and expects that these efforts will continue to enhance our liquidity and financial position, allowing us to run our business, repay Prudential and comply with all bank covenants.
Management has developed a plan to further mitigate this condition, including replacing Opus with another lender, exploring additional means of financing, such as raising more equity in transactions similar to the two completed during the second quarter, and waiting until the Company generates enough cash flow from operations to repay Opus in full. Management’s plans are intended to mitigate the substantial doubt raised by our need to repay Prudential and to satisfy our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. However, there can be no assurance that any of these initiatives will be successful.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the satisfaction of the Company’s liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
