2016 Acquisitions

 

On May 2, 2016, (the “RMB Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Renaissance Medical Billing, LLC (“RMB”), a Tennessee limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of RMB. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. In accordance with the RMB APA, 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 RMB Installment Payments are paid quarterly which commenced July, 2016. The aggregate preliminary purchase price for RMB was $365,000 which consisted of cash of $175,000 and contingent consideration of $190,000.

 

On February 15, 2016 (the “GCB Closing Date”), the Company entered into an APA with Gulf Coast Billing Inc., (“GCB”) a Texas corporation and a revenue cycle management company, pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of GCB. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. 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.

 

In accordance with the terms of the GCB APA, the Company paid $1,250,000 in initial cash consideration (“GCB Initial Payment”), on the GCB Closing Date. In addition, the Company will pay GCB twenty-eight percent (28%) of the gross fees earned and received by the Company from the acquired GCB customers for three (3) years, less the GCB Initial Payment (the “GCB Installment Payments”). The GCB Installment Payments are paid quarterly which commenced July 2016.

 

The above acquisitions added a significant number of clients to the Company’s customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions, broadened the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff.

 

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist the Company in valuing the assets acquired. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation.

 

Allocation of Purchase Price:

 

    GCB     RMB*  
Customer relationships   $ 1,100,000     $ 250,000  
Goodwill     344,000       115,000  
Non-compete agreement     20,000       -  
Tangible assets     16,000       -  
    $ 1,480,000     $ 365,000  

 

*represents the preliminary purchase price allocation

 

In connection with the purchase of GCB and RMB, the fair value of the customer relationships was established using a form of the income approach known as the excess earnings method. Under the excess earnings method, value is estimated as the present value of the benefits anticipated from ownership of the subject intangible asset in excess of the returns required on the investment in the contributory assets necessary to realize those benefits.

 

The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets is 3 years.

 

Revenues earned from GCB were approximately $553,000 and $929,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Revenue earned from RMB was approximately $119,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The goodwill from the RMB and GCB acquisitions, (collectively the “2016 Acquisitions”), is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over 15 years and represents the Company’s ability to have a local presence in several markets throughout the United States and the further ability to expand in those markets.

 

2015 Acquisitions

 

On July 10, 2015, the Company entered into an APA with SoftCare Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which is the U.S. subsidiary of QHR Corporation (“QHR”), a publicly traded, Canada-based healthcare technology company. Pursuant to the SoftCare APA, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of the RCM division of QHR Technologies, Inc. which represents SoftCare’s clearinghouse, electronic data interchange and billing divisions (collectively “SoftCare”). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

 

The Company made an initial payment of $21,888 for SoftCare, which represented 5% of the trailing twelve months’ revenue from the customers of SoftCare (the “Acquired Customers”) less assumed liabilities totaling $58,127. In addition, on a semiannual basis for three years, the Company will pay QHR 30% of the gross fees earned and collected from the Acquired Customers (the “Revenue Share Payment”). The Company’s obligation to make Revenue Share Payments is contingent upon achieving positive cash flow from SoftCare, as defined in the SoftCare APA. Additionally, after 36 months, the Company will pay QHR an amount equal to 5% of the gross fees earned and received by the Company from the Acquired Customers during the 12 month period beginning on the second anniversary of the closing date of July 10, 2015. The aggregate purchase price of $705,248 consisted of cash of $21,888, deferred revenue of $58,127 and contingent consideration of $625,233.

 

On August 31, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of customer contracts from Jesjam Holdings, LLC, doing business as Med Tech Professional Billing (“Med Tech”), a revenue cycle management company. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Per the terms of the purchase agreement, the amounts are based on 5% of gross fees that were earned by Med Tech during the 12 month period immediately preceding the closing date of August 31, 2015 plus 20% of gross fees that will be collected on or before the 60th day following the end of the term for services rendered by the Company to clients during the three year period commencing on the closing date, plus 5% of gross fees that are earned and received by the Company from clients during the 12 month period commencing on the second anniversary of the closing date subject to adjustments to the purchase price. The aggregate purchase price estimate for Med Tech was $302,610 which consisted of cash of $39,316 and contingent consideration of $263,294.

 

Revenues earned from the SoftCare and Med Tech acquisitions, (collectively the “2015 Acquisitions”) were approximately $484,000 and $1,055,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The 2015 Acquisitions were completed after June 30, 2015, so no revenue was earned from the 2015 Acquisitions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

2014 Acquisitions

 

On July 28, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of three revenue cycle management companies, Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC (“Omni”), Practicare Medical Management, Inc. (“Practicare”) and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. (“CastleRock”), and (collectively the “2014 Acquisitions”). The 2014, 2015 and 2016 Acquisitions are collectively referred to as the (“Acquisitions”).

 

Under each purchase agreement for the 2014 Acquisitions, the Company was required to issue or entitled to cancel shares issued in the event acquired customer revenues for the 12 months following the closing of the acquisition are above or below a specified threshold. As of June 30, 2016, only 248,625 shares due to Practicare remain unresolved and those shares continue to be held in escrow.
