4. ACQUISITIONS

 

2017 Acquisition

 

Effective July 1, 2017, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Washington Medical Billing, LLC (“WMB”), a Washington limited liability company. In accordance with the asset purchase agreement, the Company agreed to a non-refundable initial payment (the “Initial Payment Amount”) of $205,000. In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, the Company agreed to pay the sellers 22%, 23% and 24% of revenue collected from the WMB accounts in the first, second and third year, respectively, subsequent to the acquisition date to the extent such amounts in the aggregate exceed the Initial Payment Amount (the “WMB Installment Payments”). Based on the Company’s revenue forecast, it does not appear that there will be any WMB Installment Payments and therefore the aggregate purchase price of WMB was determined to be $205,000.

 

The purchase price allocation for WMB was performed by the Company and is summarized as follows:

 

Customer relationships   $ 120,000  
Goodwill     85,000  
    $ 205,000  

 

The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over 15 years and represents the Company’s ability to have a local presence in the Washington market and the further ability to expand in that market.

 

The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets is three years.

 

Revenue earned from the WMB acquisition was approximately $264,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

2016 Acquisitions

 

On February 15, 2016 (the “GCB Closing Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Gulf Coast Billing, Inc. (“GCB”), pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of GCB. The aggregate final purchase price for GCB was $1,480,000 which consisted of cash of $1,250,000 and contingent consideration of $230,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, an agreement was reached with GCB that no additional contingent consideration will be paid.

 

On May 2, 2016 (the “RMB Closing Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Renaissance Medical Billing, LLC (“RMB”), pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of RMB. In accordance with the RMB asset purchase agreement, the Company paid $175,000 in initial cash consideration (“RMB Initial Payment”), on the RMB Closing Date. In addition, the Company will pay RMB twenty-seven percent (27%) of the revenue earned and received from the acquired RMB accounts for three years, less the RMB Initial Payment which will be deducted in full from the required payments (the “RMB Installment Payments”) before any additional payment is made to the seller. The aggregate purchase price for RMB was $325,000 which consisted of cash of $175,000 and contingent consideration of $150,000. Since the acquisition and through December 31, 2017, approximately $58,000 of contingent consideration payments have been made.

 

Effective July 1, 2016 (the “WFS Closing Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with WFS Services, Inc. (“WFS”), pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of WFS. In accordance with the WFS asset purchase agreement, the Company did not pay any initial cash consideration on the WFS Closing Date but will make monthly payments of $5,000 for three years beginning July, 2016 subject to proportionate adjustment if annualized revenues decrease below a threshold specified in the APA. In addition, each quarter the Company will pay WFS fifty percent (50%) of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the WFS asset purchase agreement, generated from the WFS customer accounts acquired for three years. The aggregate purchase price of WFS was determined to be $298,000, which was recorded as contingent consideration. Since the acquisition and through December 31, 2017, $90,000 of contingent consideration payments have been made.

 

On October 3, 2016, MAC acquired substantially all of the assets of MediGain. Since MediGain was in default of its obligations to Prudential prior to the acquisition, MAC purchased 100% of MediGain’s senior secured debt from Prudential.

 

The debt was collateralized by substantially all of MediGain’s assets, so immediately after purchasing the debt, MAC entered into a strict foreclosure agreement with MediGain transferring substantially all the assets (including accounts receivable, fixed assets, client relationships, and MediGain’s wholly-owned subsidiaries in India and Sri Lanka) to MAC in satisfaction of the outstanding obligations under the senior secured notes. The aggregate purchase price was $7 million which consisted of $2 million in cash paid at closing and $5 million, plus interest, which was paid during the third quarter of 2017.

 

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist the Company in valuing the assets acquired from MediGain, GCB and RMB. The purchase price allocation for WFS was performed by the Company. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocations.

 

Allocation of Purchase Price:                        
                         
    GCB     RMB     WFS     MediGain

MediGain, GCB, RMB and WFS are collectively referred to as the “2016 Acquisitions.” Revenue earned from the 2016 Acquisitions was approximately $17.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.
