PART I

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

OUR COMPANY

Introduction

Clinigence Holdings, Inc, is a technology-enabled, risk-bearing population health management company that manages provider networks. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with the recent acquisitions of Accountable Healthcare Americas, Inc. (“AHA”), AHP Management, Inc. (“AHP”) and Procare Health, Inc. (“Procare”) our subsidiaries include management services organizations (“MSOs”), affiliated independent practice associations (“IPAs”), and a healthcare information technology company providing a cloud-based platform that enables healthcare organizations to provide value-based care and population health management (PHM).

Clinigence and its subsidiaries, and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”), generate revenue by providing administrative, medical management and clinical services to affiliated IPAs and medical groups The administrative services cover billing, collection, accounting, administrative, quality assurance, marketing, compliance and education. Additionally, we provide Software as a Service (SaaS) to health care practices, including accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), 7 Managed Services Organizations (“MSOs”), health plans, hospitals, and individual providers.

We implement and operate different innovative health care models, primarily including the following integrated operations:

IPAs, which contract with physicians and provide care to Medicare, Medicaid, commercial and dual-eligible patients on a risk- and value-based fee basis;
MSOs, which provide management, administrative and other support services to our affiliated physician groups such as IPAs;

Subsidiaries

We operate through our subsidiaries, including:

Clinigence Health, Inc. (CHI)

Based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, CHI is a healthcare information technology company providing a cloud-based platform that enables healthcare organizations to provide value-based care and population health management (PHM). Our proprietary cloud-based PHM platform extracts claims and clinical data from multiple claims and EHR systems, which it then uses to report clinical quality measures (GPRO, MIPS, etc.), gaps in care, risk-stratification of patients, generates a utilization dashboard on every provider, has predictive analytics and a provider scorecard. The CHI platform provides SaaS solutions that enable connected intelligence across the care continuum by transforming massive amounts of data into actionable insights. CHI’s solutions help healthcare organizations improve the quality and cost effectiveness of care, enhance population health management and optimize provider networks.

AHP Health Management Services, Inc. (AHP)

Based in Los Angeles, California, AHP’s affiliated IPA, AHISP currently provides care for 22,065 patients, including approximately 1800 Medicare Advantage patients, through a network of 141 primary care physicians and 660 specialists. An IPA is an association of independent physicians, or other organization that contracts with independent physicians, and provides services to HMOs, which are medical insurance groups that provide health services generally for a fixed annual fee, on a negotiated per capita rate, flat retainer fee, or negotiated FFS basis.

Table of Contents4

Procare Health Inc. (Procare)

Based in Garden Grove, California, Procare is a management services organization (“MSO”) that currently provides services for one health maintenance organization (“HMO”) and three IPAs in Southern and Northern California. MSOs are business organizations that provide the necessary administrative infrastructure and technology for risk-bearing IPAs to function successfully in their relationships with contracted payors and regulatory agencies. MSOs enable physician organizations to succeed in the assumption of financial and population risk, to improve the organization’s performance in care delivery and to provide actionable data analytics. Procare provides claims administration, compliance, credentialing, quality management, utilization management, contracting, provider relations, member services, care management, coding optimization and financial reporting services, among other services.

Investments

Accountable Healthcare America, Inc. (AHA)

Based in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, AHA is a medical management platform company that had an investment in an accountable care organization with approximately (Accountable Care Medical Group of Florida, Inc.” or “ACMG”) 16,000 Medicare members through a network of over 65 providers. Through its investment, AHA provides a suite of services for its providers, including care coordination, high-risk care managers, documentation improvement and medical coding programs, medical management best practices programs, health management programs such as annual wellness visits and chronic care management, and performance improvement plans.

On November 12, 2021, ACMG was sold to Genuine Health Group, LLC for a purchase price of $30 million less costs and adjustments. AHA’s share of the proceeds was $5,887,806. Cash of $4,554,676 was received at Closing, and a receivable of $1,333,130 was recorded. The Stock Purchase Agreement also contains additional earn out consideration payments upon which AHA is expected to receive its pro-rata portion, however, we cannot assign a definitive value to the contingent consideration at this time

Our Revenue Streams

Our revenue reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes revenue generated by our subsidiaries and consolidated entities. Revenue generated by consolidated entities, however, does not necessarily result in available or distributable cash for the Company. Our revenue streams flow from various multi-year renewable contractual arrangements that vary by type of business operation as follows:

Capitation Revenue

Our capitation revenue comes from our AHP subsidiary and consists primarily of capitated fees for medical services its VIE AHISP provides under capitated arrangements made directly with various managed care providers including HMOs. Capitation revenues are typically prepaid monthly to us based on the number of enrollees selecting us as their healthcare provider. Capitation is a fixed payment amount per patient per unit of time paid in advance for the delivery of health care services, whereby the service providers are generally liable for excess medical costs. The actual amount paid is determined by the ranges of services provided, the number of patients enrolled, and the period of time during which the services are provided. Capitation rates are generally based on local costs and average utilization of services. Because Medicare pays capitation using a “risk adjustment model,” which compensates managed care providers based on the health status (acuity) of each individual enrollee, managed care providers with higher acuity enrollees receive more, and those with lower acuity enrollees receive less, capitation that can be allocated to service providers. Under the risk adjustment model, capitation is paid on an interim basis based on enrollee data submitted for the preceding year and is adjusted in subsequent periods after the final data is compiled.

Table of Contents5

Per member per month (“PMPM”) managed care contracts generally have a term of one year or longer. All managed care contracts have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series for the provision of managed healthcare services for a population of enrolled members for the duration of the contract. The transaction price for PMPM contracts is variable as it primarily includes PMPM fees associated with unspecified membership that fluctuates throughout the term of the contract. In certain contracts, PMPM fees also include adjustments for items such as performance incentives, performance guarantees and risk shares.

SaaS Subscriptions Revenue

Our SaaS revenue comes from our CHI subsidiary. SaaS-based subscriptions are generally marketed under multi-year agreements with annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or month-to-month renewals and revenue is recognized ratably over the renewal period with the unearned amounts received recorded as deferred revenue.

Management Fee Income

Procare’s revenue is generated primarily through management fees that are received based on Gross Capitation Revenues of the IPA/Physician Groups. Revenue is paid monthly and is a flat fixed rate determined by the agreement. In addition to Management Fees, there is revenue generated through consultant services that are charged as a flat fixed rate and represent a small portion of the total revenue.

Our Key Payors

A limited number of payors represent a significant portion of our net capitation revenue. For thefiscal year ended December 31, 2021, two payors accounted for an aggregate of 23% of our total net capitation revenue and in 2022, we expect to derive a significant portion of our revenues from these two payors.

Our Key Customers

In 2020, the largest two SaaS customers represented 24% of revenues during that period.

Our Strengths and Advantages

The combination of the four companies fuses a healthcare information technology company with medical management companies to form a unique, scalable operating platform that we believe is well positioned for the ongoing transition of U.S. healthcare from fee-for-service payments to value-based reimbursements, including full-risk, global capitation models. The platform also addresses another major theme in U.S. healthcare: faced with mounting costs, shifting regulations and burdensome billing, reporting and technology requirements, many physicians and medical groups have been selling their practices to larger hospital systems. The strategy of the combined company is to be one of the few, technology-enabled national medical groups by acquiring and/or operating medical groups, independent practice associations (“IPAs”), accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), management services organizations (“MSOs”) and individual practices, allowing providers to focus on providing the best quality of care to their patients.

Regulatory Environment

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated and closely scrutinized by federal, state and local governments. Comprehensive statutes and regulations govern the manner in which we provide and bill for services and collect reimbursement from governmental programs and private payors, our contractual relationships with our providers, vendors and clients, our marketing activities and other aspects of our operations. Of particular importance are:

the federal physician self-referral law, commonly referred to as the Stark Law;
the federal Anti-Kickback Act;
the criminal healthcare fraud provisions of HIPAA;
the federal False Claims Act;
reassignment of payment rules that prohibit certain types of billing and collection;
similar state law provisions pertaining to anti-kickback, self-referral and false claims issues;
state laws that prohibit general business corporations, such as us, from practicing medicine;
laws that regulate debt collection practices as applied to our debt collection practices;

Table of Contents6

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or PPACA

Our revenue will be dependent on the healthcare industry and could be affected by changes in healthcare spending and policy. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or PPACA made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed and increased access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States.

Protected Health Information (PHI)

HIPAA establishes a set of basic national privacy and security standards for the protection of protected health information, or PHI, by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services, which includes us.

Because of the extreme sensitivity of the PHI we store and transmit, the security features of our technology platform are very important. If our security measures, some of which are managed by third parties, are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to obtain access to sensitive client and patient data, including HIPAA-regulated PHI.

Corporate Practice of Medicine

Our consolidated financial statements include our subsidiaries and VIE. Some states have laws that prohibit business entities with non-physician owners, such as Clinigence and its subsidiaries, from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, or exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. These laws are generally referred to as corporate practice of medicine laws. States that have corporate practice of medicine laws permit only physicians to practice medicine, exercise control over medical decisions or engage in certain arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians. In these states, a violation of the corporate practice of medicine prohibition constitutes the unlawful practice of medicine, which is a public offense punishable by fines and other criminal penalties. In addition, any physician who participates in a scheme that violates the state’s corporate practice of medicine prohibition may be punished for aiding and abetting a lay entity in the unlawful practice of medicine.

California is a corporate practice of medicine state, and we operate our California based subsidiary AHP by maintaining a long-term MSA with our affiliated IPA, which is owned and operated by physicians only, and employs or contracts with additional physicians to provide medical services. Under the MSA, our wholly owned MSO is contracted to provide non-medical management and administrative services such as financial and risk management as well as information systems, marketing and administrative support to the IPA. The MSA has an initial term of 20 years and is generally not terminable by our affiliated IPA except in the case of bankruptcy, gross negligence, fraud, or other illegal acts by the contracting MSO.

Through the MSA, we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decisions related to the ongoing business operations of the affiliated IPA. Consequently, Clinigence consolidates the revenue and expenses of the affiliated IPA as their primary beneficiary from the date of execution of the MSA.

Under this arrangement our MSO performs only non-medical functions, does not represent to offer medical services, and does not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine by physicians. The California Medical Board, as well as other states' regulatory bodies, has taken the position that MSAs that confer too much control over a physician practice to MSOs may violate the prohibition against corporate practice of medicine. Some of the relevant laws, regulations, and agency interpretations in California and other states that have corporate practice prohibitions have been subject to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation. Moreover, state laws are subject to change and regulatory authorities. Other parties, including our affiliated IPA, may assert that, despite these arrangements, Clinigence and its subsidiaries are engaged in the prohibited corporate practice of medicine or that such arrangements constitute unlawful fee-splitting between physicians and non-physicians. If this occurred, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, our MSA could be found legally invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part, and we could be required to restructure arrangements with our affiliated IPA. If we were required to change our operating structures due to determination that a corporate practice of medicine violation existed, such a restructuring might require revising our MSA terms.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with allend of the otherCompany’s fiscal year. The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to include the information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” inrequired by Part II, Item 7, and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our common stock The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we face. If anyIII of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, discussed in more detail in the following section. These risks include, among others, the following key risks:

The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may negatively impact certain aspects of our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth.
Potential changes in laws, accounting principles, and regulations related to VIEs could impact our consolidation of total revenues derived from our affiliated physician groups.
The arrangements we have with our VIEs are not as secure as direct ownership of such entities.
We currently derive a substantial portion of our revenues in California and are vulnerable to changes in that state.
Our business strategy involves acquisitions and strategic partnerships, which can be costly, risky, and complex.
We may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, and the nature of our business and rapid changes in the healthcare industry make it difficult to reliably predict future growth and operating results.
We could experience significant losses under capitation contracts if our expenses exceed revenues.
If our agreements with affiliated physician groups are deemed invalid or are terminated under applicable law, our results of operations and financial condition will be materially impaired.
Table of Contents8

Our revenues and operations are dependent on a limited number of key payors.
We may be impacted by a shift in payor mix, including eligibility changes to government and private insurance programs.
Many of our agreements with hospitals and medical groups have limited durations, may be terminated without cause by them, and prohibit us from acquiring physicians or patients from or competing with them.
Changes to federal, state, and local healthcare law, including the ACA and/or the adoption of a primarily publicly funded healthcare system, may negatively impact our business.
Laws regulating the corporate practice of medicine could restrict the manner in which we are permitted to conduct our business and the failure to comply with such laws could subject us to penalties and restructuring.
The healthcare industry is intensely regulated at the federal, state, and local levels, and government authorities may determine that we fail to comply with applicable laws or regulations and take actions against us.
Controls designed to reduce inpatient services and associated costs may reduce our revenues.
If our affiliated physician groups are not able to satisfy California financial solvency regulations, they could become subject to sanctions and their ability to do business in California could be limited or terminated.

Risks Related to Our General Business and Operations

If our internal controls over financial reporting are not considered effective, our business and stock price could be adversely affected.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations of the applicable listing standards.. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs; make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly; and strain our personnel, systems, and resources.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are also required to make a formal assessment and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, resources, including accounting-related costs and management oversight.

Additionally, current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, additional weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to maintain or develop effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Uncertain or adverse economic conditions could adversely impact us.

A downturn in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business prospects, and stock price. Historically, government budget limitations have resulted in reduced spending. Given that Medicaid is a significant component of state budgets, an economic downturn would put continued cost containment pressures on Medicaid outlays for healthcare services in California. The existing federal deficit and continued deficit spending by the federal government can lead to reduced government expenditures, including for government-funded programs in which we participate such as Medicare. An economic downturn and sustained unemployment may also impact the number of enrollees in managed care programs and the profitability of managed care companies, which could result in reduced reimbursement rates. Although we attempt to stay informed, any sustained failure to identify and respond to these trends could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business, and prospects.

Table of Contents9

Unstable market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the price of our common stock.

From time to time, the global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that future deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our business strategy and performance may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. The financial markets and the global economy may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, terrorism or other geopolitical events. Sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries in response to such conflicts, including the conflict in Ukraine, may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the price of our common stock.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may impact certain aspects of our business, financial condition, results of operation, and growth.

The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures introduced by local, state, and federal governments to contain the virus and mitigate its public health effects have created significant impact to the global economy. We expect the evolving COVID-19 pandemic to continue to impact certain aspects of our business, results of operations, and financial condition and liquidity, but given the uncertainty around the duration and severity of the pandemic, we cannot accurately predict at this time the future potential impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity

Throughout the pandemic, COVID-19 impacted certain aspects of our business as community self-isolation practices and shelter-in-place requirements reduced our inpatient visits. Continued shelter-in-place, quarantine, executive order, or related measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, as well as the perceived need by individuals to continue such practices to avoid infection, among other factors, have impacted and are expected to continue to impact certain aspects of our results of operations, business, and financial condition. These measures and practices resulted in temporary closures of outpatient clinics, and may result in delays in entry into new markets and expansion in existing markets. Governmental authorities in California began reopening and lifting or relaxing shelter-in-place and quarantine measures only to revert back to such restrictions in the face of increases in new COVID-19 cases. In addition, due to the shelter-in-place orders across the country, we have implemented work-from-home policies for many employees, which may impact productivity and disrupt our business operations.

Healthcare organizations around the world, including our medical offices, have faced, and will continue to face, substantial challenges in treating patients with COVID-19, such as the diversion of hospital staff and resources from ordinary functions to the treatment of COVID-19, supply, resource, and capital shortages, and overburdening of staff and resource capacity. In the United States, governmental authorities have also recommended, and in certain cases required, that elective, specialty, and other procedures and appointments, including certain primary care services, be suspended or canceled to avoid non-essential patient exposure to medical environments and potential infection with COVID-19, and to focus limited resources and personnel capacity toward the treatment of COVID-19. Some of these measures and challenges will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and will harm the results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition of these healthcare organizations, including certain of our health network partners. We cannot accurately predict at this time the ultimate severity or duration that the foregoing measures and challenges may have on these healthcare organizations, including us and our health network partners.

Table of Contents10

The COVID-19 pandemic and similar crises could also diminish the public’s trust in healthcare facilities, especially facilities that fail to accurately or timely diagnose, or are treating (or have treated) patients affected by infectious diseases. As certain of our medical offices treat patients with COVID-19 or other infectious disease, patients may be discouraged from visiting our offices, including cancelling appointments.

Our affiliated physician groups also face an increased risk of infection with COVID-19, which may result in staffing shortages at our offices or increased workers’ compensation claims. While the potential economic impact brought by and the duration of COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, potentially reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We cannot at this time precisely predict what effects the COVID-19 outbreak will have on certain aspects of our business, results of operations, and financial condition, including due to uncertainties relating to the severity of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, and the governmental responses to the pandemic.

If there is a change in accounting principles or the interpretation thereof affecting consolidation of VIEs, it could impact our consolidation of total revenues derived from our affiliated physician groups.

Our financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of our majority-wholly owned AHP subsidiary and non-owned affiliated physician group that is a VIE, which consolidation is effectuated in accordance with applicable accounting rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Such accounting rules require that, under some circumstances, the VIE consolidation model be applied when a reporting enterprise holds a variable interest (e.g., equity interests, debt obligations, certain management, and service contracts) in a legal entity. Under this model, an enterprise must assess the entity in which it holds a variable interest to determine whether it meets the criteria to be consolidated as a VIE. If the entity is a VIE, the consolidation framework next identifies the party, if one exists, that possesses a controlling financial interest in the VIE, and then requires that party to consolidate as the primary beneficiary. An enterprise’s determination of whether it has a controlling financial interest in a VIE requires that a qualitative determination be made and is not solely based on voting rights. If an enterprise determines the entity in which it holds a variable interest is not subject to the VIE consolidation model, the enterprise should apply the traditional voting control model which focuses on voting rights.

In our case, the VIE consolidation model applies to our controlled, but not owned, physician-affiliated entity. Our determination regarding the consolidation of our affiliate, however, could be challenged, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, in the event of a change in accounting rules or FASB’s interpretations thereof, or if there were an adverse determination by a regulatory agency or a court or a change in state or federal law relating to the ability to maintain present agreements or arrangements with our affiliated physician group, we may not be permitted to continue to consolidate the revenues of our VIE.

Our business will be subject to the risks of earthquakes, fire, floods and other natural catastrophic events, health epidemics or pandemics, and to interruption by man-made problems such as power disruptions, computer viruses, data security breaches or terrorism. 

We expect to have facilities located in the Southeast United States, including Florida, a region known for hurricane activity and Los Angeles California, a region known for earthquakes and wildfires. A significant natural disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake, wildfire,or flood, occurring at our headquarters, at one of our other facilities or where a business partner is located could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, if a natural disaster, health epidemics or pandemic, or man-made problem were to affect our network service providers or Internet service providers, this could adversely affect the ability of our customers to use our products and platform. In addition, health epidemics or pandemics, natural disasters and acts of terrorism could cause disruptions in our business, or the businesses of our customers or service providers. We also expect to rely on our network and third-party infrastructure and enterprise applications and internal technology systems for our engineering, sales and marketing and operations activities. Although we maintain incident management and disaster response plans, in the event of a major disruption caused by a health epidemic or pandemic, natural disaster or man-made problem, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our development activities, lengthy interruptions in service, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. 

Breaches or compromises of our information security systems or our information technology systems or infrastructure could result in exposure of private information, disruption of our business, and damage to our reputation, which could harm our business, results of operation, and financial condition

As a routine part of our business, we utilize information security and information technology systems and websites that allow for the secure storage and transmission of proprietary or private information regarding our patients, employees, vendors, and others, including individually identifiable health information. A security breach of our network, hosted service providers, or vendor systems, may expose us to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, litigation, and potential liability. Hackers and data thieves are increasingly sophisticated and operate large-scale and complex automated attacks, including on companies within the healthcare industry. Although we believe that we take appropriate measures to safeguard sensitive information within our possession, we may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks targeted at us, our patients, or others who have entrusted us with information. Actual or anticipated attacks may cause us to incur costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants. We invest in industry-standard security technology to protect personal information. Advances in computer capabilities, new technological discoveries, or other developments may result in the technology used by us to protect personal information or other data being breached or compromised. In addition, data and security breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical failures. To our knowledge, we have not experienced any material breach of our cybersecurity systems. If we or our third-party service providers systems fail to operate effectively or are damaged, destroyed, or shut down, or there are problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, or there are security breaches in these systems, any of the aforementioned could occur as a result of natural disasters, software or equipment failures, telecommunications failures, loss or theft of equipment, acts of terrorism, circumvention of security systems, or other cyberattacks, we could experience delays or decreases in service, and reduced efficiency of our operations. Additionally, any of these events could lead to violations of privacy laws, loss of customers, or loss, misappropriation or corruption of confidential information, trade secrets or data, which could expose us to potential litigation, regulatory actions, sanctions, or other statutory penalties, any or all of which could adversely affect our business and cause it to incur significant losses and remediation costs.

We rely on complex software systems and hosted applications to operate our business, and our business may be disrupted if we are unable to successfully or efficiently update these systems or convert to new systems.

We are increasingly dependent on technology systems to operate our business, reduce costs, and enhance customer service. These systems include complex software systems and hosted applications that are provided by third parties. Software systems need to be updated on a regular basis with patches, bug fixes, and other modifications. Hosted applications are subject to service availability and reliability of hosting environments. We also migrate from legacy systems to new systems from time to time. Maintaining existing software systems, implementing upgrades, and converting to new systems are costly and require personnel and other resources. The implementation of these systems upgrades, and conversions is a complex and time-consuming project involving substantial expenditures for implementation activities, consultants, system hardware and software, often requires transforming our current business and processes to conform to new systems, and therefore, may take longer, be more disruptive, and cost more than forecast and may not be successful. If the implementation is delayed or otherwise is not successful, it may hinder our business operations and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. There are many factors that may materially and adversely affect the schedule, cost, and execution of the implementation process, including, without limitation, problems in the design and testing of new systems; system delays and malfunctions; the deviation by suppliers and contractors from the required performance under their contracts with us; the diversion of management attention from our daily operations to the implementation project; reworks due to unanticipated changes in business processes; difficulty in training employees in the operation of new systems and maintaining internal control while converting from legacy systems to new systems; and integration with our existing systems. Some of such factors may not be reasonably anticipated or may be beyond our control.

We may be unable to renew our leases on favorable terms or at all as our leases expire, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We operate several leased premises. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to occupy such premises in the future. We may be unable to timely renew such leases or renew them on favorable terms, if at all. If any current lease is terminated or not renewed, we may be required to relocate our operations at

substantial costs or incur increased rental expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We currently derive a substantial portion of our revenues in California and are vulnerable to changes in that state.

We primarily operate in California. Any material changes with respect to consumer preferences, taxation, reimbursements, financial requirements, or other aspects of the healthcare delivery in California or the state’s economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon our ability to adapt to the ever-changing healthcare industry and continued development of additional services.

Although we expect to provide a broad and competitive range of services, there can be no assurance of acceptance of current services by the marketplace. Our ability to procure new contracts may be dependent upon the continuing results achieved at the current facilities, upon pricing and operational considerations, and the potential need for continuing improvement to our existing services. Moreover, the markets for our new services may not develop as expected nor can there be any assurance that we will be successful in marketing any such services

Risks related to the Healthcare Industry

The healthcare industry is highly competitive.

We compete directly with national, regional, and local providers of inpatient healthcare for patients and physicians. There are many other companies and individuals currently providing healthcare services, many of which have been in business longer and/or have substantially more resources. Since there are virtually no substantial capital expenditures required for providing healthcare services, there are few financial barriers to entry the healthcare industry. Other companies could enter the healthcare industry in the future and divert some or all of our business. We also compete with physician groups and privately-owned healthcare companies in local markets. In addition, our relationships with governmental and private third-party payors are not exclusive and our competitors have established or could seek to establish relationships with such payors to serve their covered patients. Competitors may also seek to compete with us for acquisitions, which could have the effect of increasing the price and reducing the number of suitable acquisitions, which would have an adverse impact on our growth strategy. Individual physicians, physician groups, and companies in other healthcare industry segments, including those with which we have contracts, and some of which have greater financial, marketing, and staffing resources, may become competitors in providing healthcare services, and this competition may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial position.

We therefore may be unable to compete successfully and even after we expend significant resources.

New physicians and other providers must be properly enrolled in governmental healthcare programs before we can receive reimbursement for their services, and there may be delays in the enrollment process.

Each time a new physician joins us or our affiliated groups, we must enroll the physician under our applicable group identification number for Medicare and Medicaid programs and for certain managed care and private insurance programs before we can receive reimbursement for services the physician renders to beneficiaries of those programs. The estimated time to receive approval for the enrollment is sometimes difficult to predict and, in recent years, the Medicare program carriers often have not issued these numbers to our affiliated physicians in a timely manner. These practices result in delayed reimbursement that may adversely affect our cash flows.

Changes associated with reimbursements by third-party payors may adversely affect our operations.

The medical services industry is undergoing significant changes with government and other third-party payors that are taking measures to reduce reimbursement rates or, in some cases, denying reimbursement altogether. There is no assurance that government or other third-party payors will continue to pay for the services provided by our affiliated medical groups. Furthermore, there has been, and continues to be, a great deal of discussion and debate about the repeal and replacement of existing government reimbursement programs, such as the ACA. As a result, the future of healthcare reimbursement programs is uncertain, making long-term business planning difficult and imprecise. The failure of government or other third-party payors to cover adequately the medical services provided by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our business may be significantly and adversely affected by legislative initiatives aimed at or having the effect of reducing healthcare costs associated with Medicare and other government healthcare programs and changes in reimbursement policies. In order to participate in the Medicare program, we must comply with stringent and often complex enrollment and reimbursement requirements. These programs generally provide for reimbursement on a fee-schedule basis rather than on a charge-related basis. As a result, we cannot increase our revenue by increasing the amount that we and our affiliates charge for services. To the extent that our costs increase, we may not be able to recover the increased costs from these programs. In addition, cost containment measures in non-governmental insurance plans have generally restricted our ability to recover, or shift to non-governmental payors, these increased costs. In attempts to limit federal and state spending, there have been, and we expect that there will continue to be, a number of proposals to limit or reduce Medicare reimbursement for various services. For example, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 made numerous changes to Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare-related programs, including new systems for establishing annual updates to Medicare rates for physicians’ services.

We may have difficulty collecting payments from third-party payors in a timely manner.

We derive significant revenue from third-party payors, and delays in payment or refunds to payors may adversely impact our net revenue. We assume the financial risks relating to uncollectible and delayed payments. In particular, we rely on some key governmental payors. Governmental payors typically pay on a more extended payment cycle, which could require us to incur substantial expenses prior to receiving corresponding payments. In the current healthcare environment, as payors continue to control expenditures for healthcare services, including through revising their coverage and reimbursement policies, we may continue to experience difficulties in collecting payments from payors that may seek to reduce or delay such payments. If we are not timely paid in full or if we need to refund some payments, our revenues, cash flows, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents14

Decreases in payor rates could adversely affect us.

Decreases in payor rates, either prospectively or retroactively, could have a significant adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows, and results of operations.

Federal and state laws may limit our ability to collect monies owed by patients.

We use third-party collection agencies whom we do not control to collect from patients any co-payments and other payments for services that our physicians provide. The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act of 1977 (the “FDCPA”) restricts the methods that third-party collection companies may use to contact and seek payment from consumer debtors regarding past due accounts. State laws vary with respect to debt collection practices, although most state requirements are similar to those under the FDCPA. Therefore, such agencies may not be successful in collecting payments owed to us and our affiliated physician groups. If practices of collection agencies utilized by us are inconsistent with these standards, we may be subject to actual damages and penalties. These factors and events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We have established reserves for our potential medical claim losses, which are subject to inherent uncertainties, and a deficiency in the established reserves may lead to a reduction in our assets or net incomes.

We establish reserves for estimated IBNR claims. IBNR estimates are developed using actuarial methods and are based on many variables, including the utilization of healthcare services, historical payment patterns, cost trends, product mix, seasonality, changes in membership, and other factors. The estimation methods and the resulting reserves are periodically reviewed and updated.

Many of our contracts are complex in nature and may be subject to differing interpretations regarding amounts due for the provision of various services. Such interpretations may not come to light until a substantial period of time has passed. The inherent difficulty in interpreting contracts and estimating necessary reserves could result in significant fluctuations in our estimates from period to period. Our actual losses and related expenses therefore may differ, even substantially, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements. If actual claims exceed our estimated reserves, we may be required to increase reserves, which would lead to a reduction in our assets or net income.

Competition for qualified physicians, employees, and management personnel is intense in the healthcare industry, and we may not be able to hire and retain qualified physicians and other personnel.

We depend on our affiliated physicians to provide services and generate revenue. We compete with many types of healthcare providers, including teaching, research and government institutions, hospitals, and other practice groups, for the services of clinicians and management personnel. The limited number of residents and other licensed providers on the job market with the expertise necessary to provide services within our business makes it challenging to meet our hiring needs and may require us to train new employees, contract temporary physicians, or offer more attractive wage and benefit packages to experienced professionals, which could decrease our profit margins. The limited number of available residents and other licensed providers also impacts our ability to renew contracts with existing physicians on acceptable terms. As a result, our ability to provide services could be adversely affected. Even though our physician turnover rate has remained stable over the last three years, if the turnover rate were to increase significantly, our growth could be adversely affected. Moreover, unlike some of our competitors who sometimes pay additional compensation to physicians who agree to provide services exclusively to that competitor, our affiliated IPAs have historically not entered into such exclusivity agreements and have allowed our affiliated physicians to affiliate with multiple IPAs. This practice may place us at a competitive disadvantage regarding the hiring and retention of physicians relative to those competitors who do enter into such exclusivity agreements.

The healthcare industry is increasingly reliant on technology, which could increase our risks.

The role of technology is greatly increasing in the delivery of healthcare, which makes it difficult for traditional physician-driven companies, such as us, to adopt and integrate electronic health records, databases, cloud-based billing systems, and many other technology applications in the delivery of healthcare services. Additionally, consumers are using mobile applications and care and cost research in selecting and usage of healthcare services. We may need to incur significant costs to implement these technology applications and comply with applicable laws. For example, the nature of our business and the requirements of healthcare privacy laws impose significant obligations on us to maintain privacy and protection of patient medical information. We rely on employees and third parties with technology knowledge and expertise and could be at risk if technology applications are not properly established, maintained, or secured. Any cybersecurity incident, even unintended, could expose us to significant fines and remediation costs and materially impair our business operations and financial position.

If we are unable to effectively adapt to changes in the healthcare industry, including changes to laws and regulations regarding or affecting the U.S. healthcare reform, our business may be harmed.

Due to the importance of the healthcare industry in the lives of all Americans, federal, state, and local legislative bodies frequently pass legislation and promulgate regulations relating to healthcare reform or that affect the healthcare industry. As has been the trend in recent years, it is reasonable to assume that there will continue to be increased government oversight and regulation of the healthcare industry in the future. We cannot assure our stockholders as to the ultimate content, timing, or effect of any new healthcare legislation or regulations, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of potential new legislation or regulations on our business. It is possible that future legislation enacted by Congress or state legislatures, or regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities at the federal or state level, could adversely affect our business or could change the operating environment of the hospitals and other facilities where our affiliated physicians provide services. It is possible that the changes to the Medicare, Medicaid, or other governmental healthcare program reimbursements may serve as precedent to possible changes in other payors’ reimbursement policies in a manner adverse to us. Similarly, changes in private payor reimbursements could lead to adverse changes in Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental healthcare programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Although we do not anticipate that a single-payer national health insurance system will be enacted by the current Congress, several legislative initiatives have been proposed by members of Congress and presidential candidates that would establish some form of a single public or quasi-public agency that organizes healthcare financing, but under which healthcare delivery would remain private. If enacted, such a system could adversely affect our business.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Many healthcare industry participants and payers are consolidating to create larger and more integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. We expect regulatory and economic conditions to result in additional consolidation in the healthcare industry in the future. As consolidation accelerates, the economies of scale of our partners’ organizations may grow. If a partner experiences sizable growth following consolidation, it may determine that it no longer needs to rely on us and may reduce its demand for our products and services. In addition, as healthcare providers consolidate to create larger and more integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power, these providers may try to use their market power to negotiate fee reductions for our products and services. Finally, consolidation may also result in the acquisition or future development by our partners of products and services that compete with our products and services. Any of these potential results of consolidation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Regulatory Compliance

Laws regulating the corporate practice of medicine could restrict the manner in which we are permitted to conduct our business and the failure to comply with such laws could subject us to penalties and restructuring.

Some states have laws that prohibit business entities from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, exercising control over medical decisions by physicians (also known collectively as the corporate practice of medicine) or engaging in some arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians. In some states these prohibitions are expressly stated in a statute or regulation, while in other states the prohibition is a matter of judicial or regulatory interpretation. California is one of the states that prohibit the corporate practice of medicine.

In California, we operate by maintaining contracts with our affiliated physician group, which is each owned and operated by physicians and which employ or contract with additional physicians to provide physician services. Under this arrangement, our subsidiary provides management services, receives a management fee for providing management services, does not represent to offer medical services, and does not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine by the physician or the affiliated physician groups. Accordingly, we do not directly own any equity interests in out affiliated physician group in California. In the event that the affiliated physician group arrangement is terminated, we are unable to enforce such arrangement, or the arrangement is invalidated under applicable laws, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition and we may have to restructure our organization and change our arrangements with our affiliated physician group, which may not be successful.

We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with these laws and government regulations, we could incur penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations or experience adverse publicity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated and closely scrutinized by federal, state and local governments. Comprehensive statutes and regulations govern the manner in which we provide and bill for services and collect reimbursement from governmental programs and private payors, our contractual relationships with our providers, vendors and clients, our marketing activities and other aspects of our operations. Of particular importance are:

the False Claims Act, that provides for penalties against entities and individuals who knowingly or recklessly make claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and other governmental healthcare programs, as well as third-party payors, that contain or are based upon false or fraudulent information;
a provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the “Anti-Kickback Statute,” that prohibits the knowing and willful offering, payment, solicitation, or receipt of any bribe, kickback, rebate, or other remuneration, in cash or in kind, in return for the referral or recommendation of patients for items and services covered, in or in part, by federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid;
a provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the Stark Law or physician self-referral law, that (subject to limited exceptions) prohibits physicians from referring Medicare patients to an entity for the provision of specific “designated health services” if the physician or a member of such physician’s immediate family has a direct or indirect financial relationship with the entity, and prohibits the entity from billing for services arising out of such prohibited referrals;
a provision of the Social Security Act that provides for criminal penalties on healthcare providers who fail to disclose known overpayments;
Table of Contents17

a provision of the Social Security Act that provides for civil monetary penalties on healthcare providers who fail to repay known overpayments within 60 days of identification or the date any corresponding cost report was due, if applicable, and also allows improper retention of known overpayments to serve as a basis for False Claims Act violations;
provisions of the Social Security Act (emanating from the DRA) that require entities that make or receive annual Medicaid payments of $5 million or more from a single Medicaid program to provide its employees, contractors, and agents with written policies and employee handbook materials on federal and state false claims acts and related statutes, that establish a new Medicaid Integrity Program designed to enhance federal and state efforts to detect Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse, and that increase financial incentives for both states and individuals to bring fraud and abuse claims against healthcare companies;
state law provisions pertaining to anti-kickback, self-referral, and false claims issues;
provisions of, and regulations relating to, HIPAA that provide penalties for knowingly and willfully executing a scheme or artifice to defraud a healthcare
benefit program or falsifying, concealing, or covering up a material fact or making any material false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items, or services;
provisions of HIPAA and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH”) limiting how covered entities, business associates, and business associate sub-contractors may use and disclose PHI and the security measures that must be taken in connection with protecting that information and related systems, as well as similar or more stringent state laws;
federal and state laws that provide penalties for providers for billing and receiving payments from a governmental healthcare program for services unless the services are medically necessary and reasonable, adequately and accurately documented, and billed using codes that accurately reflect the type and level of services rendered;
state laws that provide for financial solvency requirements relating to risk-bearing organizations (“RBOs”), plan operations, plan-affiliate operations and transactions, plan-provider contractual relationships, and provider-affiliate operations and transactions, such as California Business & Professions Code Section 1375.4 (§ 1375.4; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 28, § 1300.75.4 et seq.);
federal laws that provide for administrative sanctions, including civil monetary penalties for, among other violations, inappropriate billing of services to federal healthcare programs, payments by hospitals to physicians for reducing or limiting services to Medicare or Medicaid patients, or employing or contracting with individuals or entities who/which are excluded from participation in federal healthcare programs;
federal and state laws and policies that require healthcare providers to enroll in the Medicare and Medicaid programs before submitting any claims for services, to promptly report certain changes in its operations to the agencies that administer these programs, and to re-enroll in these programs when changes in direct or indirect ownership occur or in response to revalidation requests from Medicare and Medicaid;
state laws that prohibit general business entities from practicing medicine, controlling physicians’ medical decisions or engaging in certain practices, such as splitting fees with physicians;
Table of Contents18

state laws that require timely payment of claims, including §1371.38, et al, of the California Health & Safety Code, which imposes time limits for the payment of uncontested covered claims and required healthcare service plans to pay interest on uncontested claims not paid promptly within the required time period;
laws in some states that prohibit non-domiciled entities from owning and operating medical practices in such states;
federal and state laws and regulations restricting the techniques that may be used to collect past due accounts from consumers, such as our patients, for services provided to the consumer; and
state laws that require healthcare providers that assume professional and institutional risk (i.e., global risk) to either obtain a license under the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 or receive an exemption from the California Department of Managed Healthcare (“DMHC”) for the contract(s) under which the entity assumes global risk.

Any violation or alleged violation of any of these laws or regulations by us or our affiliates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the statutory exceptions and safe harbors available, it is possible that some of our business activities could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. Achieving and sustaining compliance with these laws may prove costly. Failure to comply with these laws and other laws can result in civil and criminal penalties such as fines, damages, overpayment recoupment loss of enrollment status and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The risk of our being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are sometimes open to a variety of interpretations. Our failure to accurately anticipate the application of these laws and regulations to our business or any other failure to comply with regulatory requirements could create liability for us and negatively affect our business. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business and result in adverse publicity.

To enforce compliance with the federal laws, the U.S. Department of Justice and the OIG, have recently increased their scrutiny of healthcare providers, which has led to a number of investigations, prosecutions, convictions and settlements in the healthcare industry. Dealing with investigations can be time- and resource-consuming and can divert management’s attention from the business. Any such investigation or settlement could increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, because of the potential for large monetary exposure under the federal False Claims Act, which provides for treble damages and mandatory minimum penalties of $5,500 to $11,000 per false claim or statement, healthcare providers often resolve allegations without admissions of liability for significant and material amounts to avoid the uncertainty of treble damages that may be awarded in litigation proceedings. Such settlements often contain additional compliance and reporting requirements as part of a consent decree, settlement agreement or corporate integrity agreement. Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, it is expected that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigating healthcare providers’ compliance with the healthcare reimbursement rules and fraud and abuse laws.

The laws, regulations and standards governing the provision of healthcare services may change significantly in the future. We cannot assure you that any new or changed healthcare laws, regulations or standards will not materially adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that a review of our business by judicial, law enforcement, regulatory or accreditation authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect our operations.

Table of Contents19

The impact of recent healthcare reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending in the US is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our revenue will be dependent on the healthcare industry and could be affected by changes in healthcare spending and policy. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or ACA made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed and increased access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States.

The ACA, among other things, increased the number of individuals with Medicaid and private insurance coverage, implemented reimbursement policies that tie payment to quality, facilitated the creation of accountable care organizations that may use capitation and other alternative payment methodologies, strengthened enforcement of fraud, and abuse laws and encouraged the use of information technology. Several of these changes require implementing regulations which have not yet been drafted or have been released only as proposed rules.

Such changes in the regulatory environment may also result in changes to our payor mix that may affect our operations and revenue. 

In addition, certain provisions of the ACA authorize voluntary demonstration projects, which include the development of bundling payments for acute, inpatient hospital services, physician services and post-acute services for episodes of hospital care. Further, the ACA may adversely affect payors by increasing medical costs generally, which could have an effect on the industry and potentially impact our business and revenue as payors seek to offset these increases by reducing costs in other areas. The full impact of these changes on us cannot be determined at this time.

We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments and other third-party payors will pay for healthcare products and services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Compliance with federal and state privacy and data security laws is expensive, and we may be subject to government or private actions due to privacy and security breaches.

Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability and integrity of personally identifiable information, or PII, including protected health information. These laws and regulations include HIPAA. HIPAA establishes a set of basic national privacy and security standards for the protection of protected health information, or PHI, by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services, which includes us.

HIPAA requires healthcare providers like us to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information. HIPAA also implemented the use of standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including activities associated with the billing and collection of healthcare claims.

HIPAA imposes mandatory penalties for certain violations. Penalties for violations of HIPAA and its implementing regulations start at $100 per violation and are not to exceed $50,000 per violation, subject to a cap of $1.5 million for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year. However, a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts are able to award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.

In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary of Health and Human Services, or HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities or business associates for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards. It also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby harmed individuals who were the victims of breaches of unsecured PHI may receive a percentage of the Civil Monetary Penalty fine paid by the violator.

Table of Contents20

HIPAA further requires that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromises the privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employees or authorized individuals. HIPAA specifies that such notifications must be made “without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach.” If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported to HHS without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public web site. Breaches affecting 500 patients or more in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.

Numerous other federal and state laws protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of PII, including PHI. These laws in many cases are more restrictive than, and may not be preempted by, the HIPAA rules and may be subject to varying interpretations by courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us and our Clients and potentially exposing us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability.

New health information standards, whether implemented pursuant to HIPAA, congressional action or otherwise, could have a significant effect on the manner in which we must handle healthcare related data, and the cost of complying with standards could be significant. If we do not comply with existing or new laws and regulations related to PHI, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions.

Because of the extreme sensitivity of the PII we store and transmit, the security features of our technology platform are very important. If our security measures, some of which are managed by third parties, are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to obtain access to sensitive client and patient data, including HIPAA-regulated PHI. As a result, our reputation could be severely damaged, adversely affecting client and patient confidence. Members may curtail their use of or stop using our services or our client base could decrease, which would cause our business to suffer. In addition, we could face litigation, damages for contract breach, penalties and regulatory actions for violation of HIPAA and other applicable laws or regulations and significant costs for remediation, notification to individuals and for measures to prevent future occurrences. Any potential security breach could also result in increased costs associated with liability for stolen assets or information, repairing system damage that may have been caused by such breaches, incentives offered to clients or other business partners in an effort to maintain our business relationships after a breach and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences, including organizational changes, deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees and engaging third-party experts and consultants. While we maintain insurance covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses in the amount of at least $3.0 million, we may not carry insurance or maintain coverage sufficient to compensate for all liability and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident.

We outsource important aspects of the storage and transmission of Client and Member information, and thus rely on third parties to manage functions that have material cyber-security risks. We attempt to address these risks by requiring outsourcing subcontractors who handle client and patient information to sign business associate agreements contractually requiring those subcontractors to adequately safeguard personal health data to the same extent that applies to us and in some cases by requiring such outsourcing subcontractors to undergo third-party security examinations. In addition, we periodically hire third-party security experts to assess and test our security posture. However, we cannot assure you that these contractual measures and other safeguards will adequately protect us from the risks associated with the storage and transmission of client and patient’s proprietary and protected health information.

In addition, various states have enacted laws governing the privacy of personal information collected and used by businesses online. For example, California has recently adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, which went into effect on January 1, 2020. This law, in part, requires that companies make certain disclosures to consumers via their privacy policies, or otherwise at the time the personal data is collected. The Company will have to determine what personal data it is collecting from individuals and for what purposes, and to update its privacy policy every 12 months to make the required disclosures, among other things. Since this law is newly enacted and has not yet gone into effect, it is unclear whether it will have any material impact on the Company’s business and operations.

Healthcare providers could be subject to federal and state investigations and payor audits.

Due to our affiliates’ participation in government and private healthcare programs, we are from time to time involved in inquiries, reviews, audits, and investigations by governmental agencies and private payors of our business practices, including assessments of our compliance with coding, billing, and documentation requirements. Federal and state government agencies have active civil and criminal enforcement efforts against healthcare companies, and their executives and managers. The DRA, which provides a financial incentive to states to enact their own false claims acts, and similar laws encourage investigations against healthcare companies by different agencies. These investigations could also be initiated by private whistleblowers. Responding to audit and investigative activities are costly and disruptive to our business operations, even when the allegations are without merit. If we are subject to an audit or investigation, a finding could be made that we or our affiliates erroneously billed or were incorrectly reimbursed, and we may be required to repay such agencies or payors, may be subjected to pre-payment reviews, which can be time-consuming and result in non-payment or delayed payments for the services we or our affiliates provide, and may be subject to financial sanctions or required to modify our operations.

Controls designed to reduce inpatient services and associated costs may reduce our revenues.

Controls imposed by Medicare, Medicaid, and private payors designed to reduce admissions and lengths of stay, commonly referred to as “utilization review,” have affected and are expected to continue to affect our operations. Federal law contains numerous provisions designed to ensure that services rendered by hospitals and other care providers to Medicare and Medicaid patients meet professionally recognized standards and are medically necessary and that claims for reimbursement are properly filed. These provisions include a requirement that a sampling of admissions of Medicare and Medicaid patients must be reviewed by quality improvement organizations, which review the appropriateness of Medicare and Medicaid patient admissions and discharges, the quality of care provided, and the appropriateness of cases of extraordinary length of stay or cost on a post-discharge basis. Quality improvement organizations may deny payment for services or assess fines and also have the authority to recommend to the HHS that a provider is in substantial non-compliance with the standards of the quality improvement organization and should be excluded from participation in the Medicare program. The ACA potentially expands the use of prepayment review by Medicare contractors by eliminating statutory restrictions on its use, and, as a result, efforts to impose more stringent cost controls are expected to continue. Utilization review is also a requirement of most non-governmental managed care organizations and other third-party payors. Inpatient utilization, average lengths of stay and occupancy rates continue to be negatively affected by payor-required pre-admission authorization and utilization review and by third party payor pressure to maximize outpatient and alternative healthcare delivery services for less acutely ill patients. Although we are unable to predict the effect these controls and any changes thereto may have on our operations, significant limits on the scope of our services reimbursed and on reimbursement rates and fees could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.

We do not have a Knox-Keene license.

The Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 was passed by the California State Legislature to regulate California managed care plans and is currently administered by the DMHC. A Knox-Keene Act license is required to operate a healthcare service plan, e.g., an HMO, or an organization that accepts global risk, i.e., accepts full risk for a patient population, including risk related to institutional services, e.g., hospital, and professional services. Applying for and obtaining such a license is a time consuming and detail-oriented undertaking. We currently do not hold any Knox-Keene license. If the DMHC were to determine that we have been inappropriately taking risk for institutional and professional services as a result of our various hospital and physician arrangements without having any Knox-Keene license or applicable regulatory exemption, we may be required to obtain a Knox-Keene license and could be subject to civil and criminal liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Table of Contents22

A Knox-Keene Act license or exemption from licensure, where applicable, is required to operate a healthcare service plan, e.g., an HMO, or an organization that accepts global risk, i.e., accepts full risk for a patient population, including risk related to institutional services, e.g., hospital, and professional services.

If our affiliated physician group is not able to satisfy California financial solvency regulations, they could become subject to sanctions and their ability to do business in California could be limited or terminated.

The DMHC has instituted financial solvency regulations. The regulations are intended to provide a formal mechanism for monitoring the financial solvency of a RBO in California, including capitated physician groups. Under current DMHC regulations, our affiliated physician groups, as applicable, are required to, among other things:

Maintain, at all times, a minimum “cash-to-claims ratio” (which means the organization’s cash, marketable securities, and certain qualified receivables, divided by the organization’s total unpaid claims liability) of 0.75; and
Submit periodic reports to the DMHC containing various data and attestations regarding their performance and financial solvency, including IBNR calculations and documentation and attestations as to whether or not the organization (i) was in compliance with the “Knox-Keene Act” requirements related to claims payment timeliness, (ii) had maintained positive tangible net equity (“TNE”), and (iii) had maintained positive working capital.

In the event that a physician group is not in compliance with any of the above criteria, it would be required to describe in a report submitted to the DMHC the reasons for non-compliance and actions to be taken to bring it into compliance. Under such regulations, the DMHC can also make some of the Information contained in the reports, public, including, but not limited to, whether or not a particular physician organization met each of the criteria. In the event any of our affiliated physician groups are not able to meet certain of the financial solvency requirements, and fail to meet subsequent corrective action plans, it could be subject to sanctions, or limitations on, or removal of, its ability to do business in California. There can be no assurance that our affiliated physician group, such as our IPA, will remain in compliance with DMHC requirements or be able to timely and adequately rectify non-compliance. To the extent that we need to provide additional capital to our affiliated physician group in the future in order to comply with DMHC regulations, we would have less cash available for other parts of our operations.

Our revenue will be negatively impacted if our physicians fail to appropriately document their services.

We rely upon our affiliated physicians to appropriately and accurately complete necessary medical record documentation and assign appropriate reimbursement codes for their services. Reimbursement is conditioned upon, in part, our affiliated physicians providing the correct procedure and diagnosis codes and properly documenting the services themselves, including the level of service provided and the medical necessity for the services. If our affiliated physicians have provided incorrect or incomplete documentation or selected inaccurate reimbursement codes, this could result in non-payment for services rendered or lead to allegations of billing fraud. This could subsequently lead to civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, third-party payors may disallow, in whole or in part, requests for reimbursement based on determinations that certain amounts are not covered, services provided were not medically necessary, or supporting documentation was not adequate. Retroactive adjustments may change amounts realized from third-party payors and result in recoupments or refund demands, affecting revenue already received.

Primary care physicians may seek to affiliate with our and our competitors’ IPAs at the same time.

It is common in the medical services industry for primary care physicians to be affiliated with multiple IPAs. Our affiliated IPA therefore may enter into agreements with physicians who are also affiliated with our competitors. However, some of our competitors at times have agreements with physicians that require the physician to provide exclusive services. Our affiliated IPA often has no knowledge, and no way of knowing, whether a physician is subject to an exclusivity agreement without being informed by the physician. Competitors could initiate lawsuits against us alleging in part interference with such exclusivity arrangements. An adverse outcome from any such lawsuit could adversely affect our business, cash flows and financial condition.

If we inadvertently employ or contract with an excluded person, we may face government sanctions.

Individuals and entities can be excluded from participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs for violating certain laws and regulations, or for other reasons such as the loss of a license in any state, even if the person retains other licensure. This means that the excluded person and others are prohibited from receiving payments for such person’s services rendered to Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries, and if the excluded person is a physician, all services ordered (not just provided) by such physician are also non-covered and non-payable. Entities that employ or contract with excluded individuals are prohibited from billing the Medicare or Medicaid programs for the excluded individual’s services and are subject to civil penalties if it does. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General maintains a list of excluded persons. Although we have instituted policies and procedures to minimize such risks, there can be no assurance that we will not inadvertently hire or contract with an excluded person, or that our employees or contracts will not become excluded in the future without our knowledge. If this occurs, we may be subject to substantial repayments and civil penalties which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, and financial condition.

We may be subject to liability for failure to fully comply with applicable corporate and securities laws.

We are subject to various corporate and securities laws. Any failure to comply with such laws could cause government agencies to take action against us, which could restrict our ability to issue securities and result in fines or penalties. Any claim brought by such an agency could also cause us to expend resources to defend ourselves, divert the attention of our management from our business and could significantly harm our business, operating results, and financial condition, even if the claim is resolved in our favor. We received six (6) shareholder demand letters from multiple plaintiffs’ securities law firms in connection with the Company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 14, 2022. This demand letters requested certain additional disclosures in connection with the proposed Nutex Merger. We did not provide any further disclosures. As of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, no further action has been taken by these shareholders and no lawsuit has been filed against us by these firms.

We cannot preclude the possibility that claims or lawsuits brought relating to any alleged securities law violations or breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the proposed Nutex Merger could potentially require significant time and resources to defend and/or settle and distract our management and board of directors from focusing on our business.

We may face lawsuits not covered by insurance and related expenses may be material. Our failure to avoid, defend, and accrue for claims and litigation could negatively impact our results of operations or cash flows.

We are exposed to and become involved in various litigation matters arising out of our business, including from time to time, actual or threatened lawsuits. Malpractice lawsuits are common in the healthcare industry. The medical malpractice legal environment varies greatly by state. The status of tort reform, availability of non-economic damages, or the presence or absence of other statutes, such as elder abuse or vulnerable adult statutes, influence the incidence and severity of malpractice litigation. We may also be subject to other types of lawsuits, such as those initiated by our competitors, stockholders, employees, service providers, contractors, or by government agencies, including when we terminate relationships with them, which may involve large claims and significant defense costs. Many states have joint and several liabilities for providers who deliver care to a patient and are at least partially liable. As a result, if one provider is found liable for medical malpractice for the provision of care to a particular patient, all other providers who furnished care to that same patient, including possibly us and our affiliated physicians, may also share in the liability, which could be substantial individually or in aggregate.

The defense of litigation, including fees of legal counsel, expert witnesses, and related costs, is expensive and difficult to forecast accurately. Such costs may be unrecoverable even if we ultimately prevail in litigation and could consume a significant portion of our limited capital resources. To defend lawsuits, it may also be necessary for us to divert officers and other employees from our normal business functions to gather evidence, give testimony, and otherwise support litigation efforts. If we lose any material litigation, we could face material judgments or awards against them. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the proceedings in which we are involved now or in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, and financial condition. We may also in the future find it necessary to file lawsuits to recover damages or protect our interests. The cost of such litigation could also be significant and unrecoverable, which may also deter us from aggressively pursuing even legitimate claims

Our affiliated physicians are required to carry first dollar coverage with limits of coverage equal to $1.0 million for all claims based on occurrence up to an aggregate of $3.0 million per year We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us, our affiliated professional organizations, or our affiliated physicians. Liabilities incurred by us or our affiliates in excess of our insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and other claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Insurance coverage generally must be renewed annually and may not continue to be available to us in future years at acceptable costs and on favorable terms, which could increase our exposure to litigation.

Risks Related to Our Growth Strategy and Business Model

Our growth strategy may not prove viable and we may not realize expected results. In order to grow our business, we plan to drive greater awareness of our affiliated providers and their offerings and adoption of our platform from enterprises across new vertical markets. We intend to increase our investment in sales and marketing, as well as in technological development, to meet evolving customer needs in these and other markets. There is no guarantee, however, that we will be successful in gaining new customers from any or all of these markets. We have limited experience in marketing and selling our products and services generally, and in particular in these new markets, which may present unique and unexpected challenges and difficulties.

If the costs of the new marketing channels we use increase dramatically, then we may choose to use alternative and less expensive channels, which may not be as effective as the channels we currently use. As we add to or change the mix of our marketing strategies, we may need to expand into more expensive channels than those we are currently in, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we have limited experience marketing our products and platform and we may not be successful in selecting the marketing channels that will provide us with exposure to customers in a cost-effective manner. As part of our strategy to penetrate the new vertical markets, we will incur marketing expenses before we are able to recognize any revenue in such markets, and these expenses may not result in increased revenue or brand awareness. We have made in the past, and may make in the future, significant expenditures and investments in new marketing campaigns, and these investments may not lead to the cost-effective acquisition of additional customers. If we are unable to maintain effective marketing programs, then our ability to attract new customers or enter into new vertical markets could be adversely affected.

We could experience significant losses under capitation contracts if our expenses exceed revenues.

Under a capitation contract, a health plan typically prospectively pays an IPA, periodic capitation payments based on a percentage of the amount received by the health plan. Capitation payments, in the aggregate, represent a prospective budget from which an IPA manages care-related expenses on behalf of the population enrolled with that IPA. If our affiliated IPA is able to manage care-related expenses under the capitated levels, we realize operating profits from capitation contracts. However, if care-related expenses exceed projected levels, our affiliated IPA may realize substantial operating deficits, which are not capped and could lead to substantial losses. Additionally, factors beyond our control, such as natural disasters, the potential effects of climate change, major epidemics, pandemics, or newly emergent viruses (such as COVID-19), could reduce our ability to effectively manage the costs of providing healthcare.

If our agreement with our affiliated physician group is deemed invalid or are terminated under applicable law, our results of operations and financial condition will be materially impaired.

There are various state laws, including laws in California, regulating the corporate practice of medicine, which prohibit us from directly owning medical professional entities. These prohibitions are intended to prevent unlicensed persons from interfering with or inappropriately influencing a physician’s professional judgment. These and other laws may also prevent fee-splitting, which is the sharing of professional service income with non-professional or business interests. The interpretation and enforcement of these laws vary significantly from state to state. We currently derive revenues from an MSA arrangement with our affiliated IPA, whereby we provide management and administrative services to them. If this agreement and arrangement is held to be invalid under laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine and other laws or if there are new laws that prohibit such agreements or arrangements, a significant portion of our revenues will be lost, resulting in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The arrangements we have with our VIEs are not as secure as direct ownership of such entities.

Because of corporate practice of medicine laws, we entered into contractual arrangements to manage certain affiliated physician practice groups, which allow us to consolidate those groups for financial reporting purposes. We do not have direct ownership interests in any of our VIEs and are not able to exercise rights as an equity holder to directly change the members of the boards of directors of these entities so as to affect changes at the management and operational level. Under our arrangements with our VIEs, we must rely on their equity holders to exercise our control over the entities. If our affiliated entities or their equity holders fail to perform as expected, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such arrangements.

Any failure by our affiliated entities or their owners to perform their obligations under their agreements with us would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our affiliated physician practice group is owned by individual physicians who could die, become incapacitated, or become no longer affiliated with us. Although our MSA with this affiliate provides that they will be binding on successors of current owners, as the successors are not parties to the MSA, it is uncertain in case of the death, bankruptcy, or divorce of a current owner whether their successors would be subject to such MSA.

Our revenues and operations are dependent on a limited number of key payors.

Our operations are dependent on a concentrated number of payors. Two payors accounted for an aggregate of 23% our total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, and two customers accounted for an aggregate 24% of our total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. We believe that a majority of our revenues will continue to be derived from a limited number of key payors, which may terminate their contracts with us, or our physicians credentialed by them upon the occurrence of certain events. They may also amend the material terms of the contracts under certain circumstances. Failure to maintain such contracts on favorable terms, or at all, would materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents26

An exodus of our patients could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We may also be impacted by a shift in payor mix, including eligibility changes to government and private insurance programs.

A material decline, in the number of patients that we and our affiliated physician groups serve, whether a government or a private entity is paying for their healthcare, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, which could result from increased competition, new developments in the healthcare industry, or regulatory overhauls. In light of the repeal of the individual mandate requirement under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (also known as Affordable Care Act or Obamacare) via the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, some people are expected to lose their health insurance and thus may not continue to afford services by our managed medical groups. In addition, due to potential decreased availability of healthcare through private employers, the number of patients who are uninsured or participate in governmental programs may increase. A shift in payor mix, from managed care and other private payors to government payors or the uninsured may result in a reduction in our rates of reimbursement or an increase in our uncollectible receivables or uncompensated care, with a corresponding decrease our net revenue. Changes in the eligibility requirements for governmental programs could also change the number of patients who participate in such programs or the number of uninsured patients. For those patients who remain with private insurance, changes in those programs could increase patient responsibility amounts, resulting in a greater risk for uncollectible receivables. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are dependent in part on referrals from third parties and preferred provider status with payors.

Our business relies in part on referrals from third parties for our services. We receive referrals from community medical providers, emergency departments, payors, and hospitals in the same manner as other medical professionals receive patient referrals. We do not provide compensation or other remuneration to referral sources for referring patients to us. A decrease in these referrals due to competition, concerns about our services and other factors could result in a significant decrease in our revenues and adversely impact our financial condition. Similarly, we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain or maintain preferred provider status with significant third-party payors in the communities where we operate. If we are unable to maintain our referral base or our preferred provider status with significant third-party payors, it may negatively impact our revenues and financial performance

Our business model depends on numerous complex management information systems, and any failure to successfully maintain these systems or implement new systems could undermine our ability to receive payments and otherwise materially harm our operations and may result in violations of healthcare laws and regulations.

We depend on a complex, specialized, integrated management information system and standardized procedures for operational and financial information, as well as for our billing operations. We may be unable to enhance existing management information systems or implement new management information systems when necessary. We may experience unanticipated delays, complications, or expenses in implementing, integrating, and operating our systems. Our management information systems may require modifications, improvements, or replacements that may require both substantial expenditures, as well as interruptions in operations. Our ability to create and implement these systems depends on the availability of technology and skilled personnel. Our failure to successfully implement and maintain all of our systems could undermine our ability to receive payments and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our failure to successfully operate our billing systems could also lead to potential violations of healthcare laws and regulations.

Consolidation in the health care industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Many health care industry participants and payers are consolidating to create larger and more integrated health care delivery systems with greater market power. We expect regulatory and economic conditions to result in additional consolidation in the health care industry in the future. As consolidation accelerates, the economies of scale of our customers’ organizations may grow. If a customer experiences sizable growth following consolidation, it may determine that it no longer needs to rely on us and may reduce its demand for our products and services. In addition, as health care providers consolidate to create larger and more integrated health care delivery systems with greater market power, these providers may try to use their market power to negotiate fee reductions for our products and services. Finally, consolidation may also result in the acquisition or future development by our customers of products and services that compete with our products and services. Any of these potential results of consolidation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our use of “open source” software could adversely affect our ability to offer our services and subject us to possible litigation. 

We use open source software in connection with our products and services. Companies that incorporate open source software into their products have, from time to time, faced claims challenging the use of open source software and/or compliance with open source license terms. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software or claiming noncompliance with open source licensing terms. Some open source software licenses require users who distribute software containing open source softwareOriginal Filing to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software and/or make available any derivative works of the open source code, which could include valuable proprietary code of the user, on unfavorable terms or at no cost. While we monitor the use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source agreement, such use could inadvertently occur, in part because open source license terms are often ambiguous. Any requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could help our competitors develop products and services that are similar to or better than ours. 

The security of our platform, networks or computer systems may be breached, and any unauthorized access to our customer data will have an adverse effect on our business and reputation. 

The use of our platform will involve the storage, transmission and processing of our clients’ private data, and this data may contain confidential and proprietary information of our clients or other personal or identifying information regarding our clients, their employees or other persons. Individuals or entities may attempt to penetrate our network or platform security, or that of our third-party hosting and storage providers, and could gain access to our clients’ private data, which could result in the destruction, disclosure or misappropriation of proprietary or confidential information of our clients’ or their customers, employees and business partners. If any of our clients’ private data is leaked, obtained by others or destroyed without authorization, it could harm our reputation, we could be exposed to civil and criminal liability, and we may lose our ability to access private data, which will adversely affect the quality and performance of our platform. 

In addition, our platform may be subject to computer malware, viruses and computer hacking, fraudulent use attempts and phishing attacks, all of which have become more prevalent in our industry. Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, they may include the theft or destruction of data owned by us or our customers, and/or damage to our platform. Any failure to maintain the performance, reliability, security and availability of our products or services and technical infrastructure to the satisfaction of our customers may harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new users.

Table of Contents28

While we will implement procedures and safeguards that are designed to prevent security breaches and cyber-attacks, they may not be able to protect against all attempts to breach our systems, and we may not become aware in a timely manner of any such security breach. Unauthorized access to or security breaches of our platform, network or computer systems, or those of our technology service providers, could result in the loss of business, reputational damage, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, civil and criminal penalties for violation of applicable laws, regulations or contractual obligations, and significant costs, fees and other monetary payments for remediation. If customers believe that our platform does not provide adequate security for the storage of sensitive information or its transmission over the Internet, our business will be harmed. Customers’ concerns about security or privacy may deter them from using our platform for activities that involve personal or other sensitive information.

We could incur substantial costs in protecting or defending our intellectual property rights, and any failure to protect our intellectual property could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our brand and the proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under patent and other intellectual property laws of the United States and foreign jurisdictions so that we can prevent others from using our inventions and proprietary information. Clinigence Health Inc. owns U.S. Patent Application No. 15/882,688, which is a utility patent application currently pending before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Any patents that have been applied for or that may be issued in the future may not provide significant protection for our intellectual property. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to our technology and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. 

The particular forms of intellectual property protection that we seek, or our business decisions about when to file patent applications and trademark applications, may not be adequate to protect our business. We could be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights or those of others, or defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management, result in a diversion of significant resources, lead to the narrowing or invalidation of portions of our intellectual property and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights or alleging that we infringe the counterclaimant’s own intellectual property. Any of our patents, patent applications, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights could be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. 

We expect to also rely, in part, on confidentiality agreements with our business partners, employees, consultants, advisors, customers and others in our efforts to protect our proprietary technology, processes and methods. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information, and it may be possible for unauthorized parties to copy our software or other proprietary technology or information, or to develop similar software independently without our having an adequate remedy for unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information, and in these cases we would not be able to assert any trade secret rights against those parties. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and the failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position. 

In addition, the laws of some countries do not protect intellectual property and other proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. To the extent we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying, transfer and use of our proprietary technology or information may increase.

Table of Contents29

Our means of protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be adequate or our competitors could independently develop similar technology. If we fail to meaningfully protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Assertions by third parties of infringement or other violations by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and harm our business and operating results.

Our success depends upon our ability to refrain from infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. Some companies, including some of our competitors, own large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks, which they may use to assert claims against us. As we grow and enter new markets, we will face a growing number of competitors. As the number of competitors in our industry grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps, we expect that software and other solutions in our industry may be subject to such claims by third parties. Third parties may in the future assert claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights against us. We cannot assure you that infringement claims will not be asserted against us in the future, or that, if asserted, any infringement claim will be successfully defended. A successful claim against us could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering our services, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or business partners or pay substantial settlement costs, including royalty payments, in connection with any such claim or litigation and to obtain licenses, modify applications or refund fees, which could be costly. Even if we were to prevail in such a dispute, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.

The information that we expect to provide to our clients could be inaccurate or incomplete, which could harm our business reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.

We expect to aggregate, process, and analyze healthcare-related data and information for use by our clients. Because data in the healthcare industry is fragmented in origin, inconsistent in format, and often incomplete, the overall quality of data received or accessed in the healthcare industry is often poor, the degree or amount of data which is knowingly or unknowingly absent or omitted can be material, and we frequently discover data issues and errors during our data integrity checks. If the analytical data that we expect to provide to our clients are based on incorrect or incomplete data or if we make mistakes in the capture, input, or analysis of these data, our reputation may suffer and our ability to attract and retain clients may be materially harmed.

In addition, we expect to assist our clients with the management and submission of data to governmental entities, including CMS. These processes and submissions are governed by complex data processing and validation policies and regulations. If we fail to abide by such policies or submit incorrect or incomplete data, we may be exposed to liability to a client, court, or government agency that concludes that our storage, handling, submission, delivery, or display of health information or other data was wrongful or erroneous.

Our proprietary applications may not operate properly, which could damage our reputation, give rise to a variety of claims against us, or divert our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business and operating results.

Proprietary software and application development is time-consuming, expensive, and complex, and may involve unforeseen difficulties. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we discover additional problems that prevent our proprietary applications from operating properly. If our applications and services do not function reliably or fail to achieve client expectations in terms of performance, clients could assert liability claims against us and attempt to cancel their contracts with us. Moreover, material performance problems, defects, or errors in our existing or new applications and services may arise in the future and may result from, among other things, the lack of interoperability of our applications with systems and data that we did not develop and the function of which is outside of our control or undetected in our testing. Defects or errors in our applications might discourage existing or potential clients from purchasing services from us. Correction of defects or errors could prove to be time consuming, costly, impossible, or impracticable. The existence of errors or defects in our applications and the correction of such errors could divert our resources from other matters relating to our business, damage our reputation, increase our costs, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we are unable to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, our business will suffer.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. We believe that there is, and will continue to be, intense competition for highly skilled management, engineering, data science, sales and other personnel with experience in our industry. We must provide competitive compensation packages and a high-quality work environment to hire, retain and motivate employees. If we are unable to retain and motivate our existing employees and attract qualified personnel to fill key positions, we may be unable to manage our business effectively, including the development, marketing and sale of our products, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent we hire personnel from competitors, we also may be subject to allegations that they have been improperly solicited or that they have divulged proprietary or other confidential information. If we are unable to retain our employees, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. 

Our Board of Directors may change our strategies, policies, and procedures without stockholder approval, and we may become more highly leveraged, which may increase our risk of default under our debt obligations.

Our investment, financing, leverage, and dividend policies, and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, capitalization, and operations, are determined exclusively by our board of directors, and may be amended or revised at any time by our board of directors without notice to or a vote of our stockholders. This could result in us conducting operational matters, making investments, or pursuing different business or growth strategies than those contemplated in this private placement memorandum. Further, our charter and bylaws do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness, funded or otherwise, that we may incur. Higher leverage also increases the risk of default on our obligations. In addition, a change in our investment policies, including the manner in which we allocate our resources across our portfolio or the types of assets in which we seek to invest, may increase our exposure to interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Changes to our policies with regards to the foregoing could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow. 

Our solutions face intense competition in the marketplace. If we are unable to compete effectively, our operating results could be adversely affected.

The market for our solutions is increasingly competitive, rapidly evolving and fragmented, and is subject to changing technology and shifting customer needs. Although we believe that our platform and the solutions that it offers are unique, many vendors develop and market products and services that compete to varying extents with our offerings, and we expect competition in our market to continue to intensify. Moreover, industry consolidation may increase competition.

If we do not keep pace with technological changes, our solutions may become less competitive and our business may suffer.

Our market is expected to be characterized by rapid technological change, frequent product and service innovation and evolving industry standards. If we are unable to provide enhancements and new features for our existing solutions or new solutions that achieve market acceptance or that keep pace with these technological developments, our business could be adversely affected. The success of enhancements, new features and solutions depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of the enhancements or new features or solutions. Failure in this regard may significantly impair our revenue growth. In addition, because our solutions are designed to operate on a variety of systems, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our solutions to keep pace with changes in internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser and database technologies. We may not be successful in either developing these modifications and enhancements or in bringing them to market in a timely fashion. Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or technologies, could increase our research and development expenses. Any failure of our solutions to keep pace with technological changes or operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our solutions, result in customer dissatisfaction and adversely affect our business.

The Company’s success depends upon its ability to adapt to a changing market and its continued development of additional services.

Although the Company believes that it will provide a competitive range of products and services, there can be no assurance of acceptance by the marketplace. The procurement of new contracts by the Company may be dependent upon the continuing results achieved with current clients, upon pricing and operational considerations, as well as the potential need for continuing improvement to existing services. Moreover, the markets for such services may not develop as expected nor can there be any assurance that the Company will be successful in its marketing of any such services.

The MSA has an initial term of 20 years and is generally not terminable by AHISP except in the case of bankruptcy, gross negligence, fraud, or other illegal acts by AHP.

Through the MSA, we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decisions related to the ongoing business operations of AHISP. Consequently, the Company consolidates the revenue and expenses of AHISP as their primary beneficiary from the date of execution of the MSA.

(ii) a decrease of $67,854 in SaaS revenue due to a decrease in the number customers subscribing to the technology platform.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

We had cash of $15,314,328 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $26,931 as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $15,287,397.

We generate cash primarily from capitations, risk pool settlements and incentives, fees for medical management services provided to our physician groups, as well as FFS reimbursements and recurring SaaS Subscriptions.

Historically, the Company’s has experienced significant losses and the major sources of cash have been comprised of proceeds from various public and private offerings of its common stock, debt financings, and option and warrant exercises. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company raised approximately $14.4 million in gross proceeds from various public and private offerings of its common stock. Although the Company expects to have sufficient capital to fund its obligations, as they become due, in the ordinary course of business until at least December 31, 2022, the actual amount of cash that it will need to operate is subject to many factors. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company expects to collect the receivable of $1.3 million from the sale of its ACMG investment. The Company also decreased its debt in 2021. With the funds raised and the other mitigating factors the Company believes that it has enough cash to fund its operations for one year from the date of filing. Therefore, such conditions of substantial doubt as of December 31, 2021, have subsequently been alleviated.

Cash Flow Activity

Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $6,703,530 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,475,075 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our operating revenues not being sufficient to cover our on-going obligations. Additional contributing factors include an increase in accounts receivable of $74,880, an increase in account payable and accrued expenses of $1,365,554, a decrease in customer deposits of $36,691, an increase in prepaid expenses of $161,155, income from forgiveness of debt of $633,125, deferred tax benefit of $984,810, amortization and depreciation expense of $713,779, interest expense associated with debt discount of $6,011,071, increase in accrued interest of $197,033, an AHP purchase price adjustment of $300,000, a settlement payment of $522,000 from ACMG , non-cash interest expense of $24,372, a decrease in deposits and other assets of $410, a decrease in lease liability of $27,472, an increase in deferred revenue of $97,232 and stock-based compensation expense of $4,026,884.

Cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $7,951,570, primarily due to $4,554,676 from the proceeds of the sale of ACMG. $522,000 in a separation payment from the investment in ACMG and $3,884,583 of cash acquired in the acquisitions of AHP and Procare, and preacquisition loan from subsidiary of $85,000, offset by $1,094,689 in AHP litigation settlement, compared to cash used in investing activities of $60,900 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $14,039,357, primarily due to $14,323,439 in proceeds from sale of common stock, $153,424 in proceeds from exercise of warrants, $178,842 in proceeds from exercise of options and $413,917 from issuance of notes and convertible notes payable, offset by $16,765 in payments on notes payable and $1,013,500 in payments of financing costs for capital raise.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements may require us to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. We do not currently have any estimates or assumptions where the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change or the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material, except as described below.

Table of Contents40

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Clinigence Health, Inc., Accountable Healthcare America Inc., AHP Management Inc., and Procare Health, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable reserves, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, debt conversion features, stock-based compensation, certain assumptions related to the valuation of the reserved shares and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Company’s acquisitions. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short- and long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk. The Company’s investment in AHA was valued at level 3 input.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

Table of Contents41

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.

Variable interest model

We perform a primary beneficiary analysis on all our identified variable interest entities, which comprises a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. We consolidate a VIE if both power and benefits belong to us – that is, we (i) have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power), and (ii) have the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (benefits). We consolidate VIEs whenever it is determined that we are the primary beneficiary.

Noncontrolling Interests

We consolidate variable interest entities (VIEs) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests represent the amount of net income attributableintends to the VIEs and is disclosed in the consolidated statements of income.file such proxy statement.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generated by software licenses, training, and consulting. Software licenses are provided as SaaS-based subscriptions that grants access to proprietary online databases and data management solutions. Training and consulting are project based and billable to customers on a monthly-basis or task-basis.

Revenue from training and consulting are generally recognized upon delivery of training or completion of the consulting project. The duration of training and consulting projects are typically a few weeks or months and last no longer than 12 months.

SaaS-based subscriptions are generally marketed under multi-year agreements with annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or month-to-month renewals and revenue is recognized ratably over the renewal period with the unearned amounts received recorded as deferred revenue. For multiple-element arrangements accounted for in accordance with specific software accounting guidance, multiple deliverables are segregated into units of accounting which are delivered items that have value to a customer on a standalone basis.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, using the modified retrospective method. The modified retrospective adoption used by the Company did not result in a material cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Revenue from substantially all the Company’s contracts with customers continues to be recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied.

Table of Contents42

 

The Company provides its customers with software licensing, training, and consulting through SaaS-based subscriptions. This subscription revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which the Company bills and collects the charges for licensing and related services. The Company determines the measurement of revenue and the timing of revenue recognition utilizing the following core principles:

1. Identifying the contract with a customer;

2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determining the transaction price;

4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5. Recognizing revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligations.

Revenues from subscriptions are deferred and recorded as deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations and recognized over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company completes its contractual performance obligations through providing its customers access to specified data through subscriptions for a service period, and training on consulting associated with the subscriptions. The Company primarily invoices its customers on a monthly basis and does not provide any refunds, rights of return, or warranties to its customers.

AHA’s performance obligation is to manage ACO participants who provide healthcare services to CMS’s members for the purpose of generating shared savings. If achieved, the Company receives shared savings payments from CMS, which represents variable consideration. The shared savings payments are recognized using the most likely methodology. However, as the Company does not have sufficient insight from CMS into the financial performance of the shared risk pool because of unknown factors related to shifting patient count, risk adjustment factors and benchmark adjustments, among other factors, an estimate cannot be developed. Therefore, these amounts are considered to be fully constrained and only recorded in the months when such payments are known and/or received. The Company generally receives payment within ten months after the fiscal year-end.

AHP negotiates fixed per-member, per-month (PMPM) rates (Capitation) with third-party insurers for a fixed period of time. The Independent Physicians Association (“IPA”) recognizes capitation payments received in advance from third-party insurers as revenue on a monthly basis without regard to the frequency, extent, or nature of the medical services actually furnished.

Procare’s revenue is generated primarily through management fees that are received based on Gross Capitation Revenues of the IPA/Physician Groups. Revenue is paid monthly and is a flat fixed rate determined by the agreement. In addition to Management Fees, there is revenue generated through consultant services that are charged as a flat fixed rate and represent a small portion of the total revenue.

Cost of Sales

Our costs of sales primarily consist of cloud computing and storage costs, datasets, contracted and internal labor costs and contracted medical provider services.

Advertising Costs

We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs of $24,449 and $41,418 were charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. We do not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021, and 2020. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured.

Table of Contents43

Accounts Receivable

The Company analyzes the collectability of accounts receivable from continuing operations each accounting period and adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of accounts receivables, including the creditworthiness of each customer, current and historical collection history and the related aging of past due balances. The Company evaluates specific accounts when it becomes aware of information indicating that a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition, lower credit ratings, bankruptcy or other factors affecting the ability to render payment. As of December 31, 2021, no customers represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable.

Inventory

Inventory consisting of finished products is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Property and equipment and depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Depreciation for both financial reporting and income tax purposes is computed using combinations of the straight line and accelerated methods over the estimated lives of the respective assets as follows:

Office equipment and fixtures5 - 7 years
Computer hardware5 years
Computer software3 years
Development equipment5 years

Business Combinations

We use the acquisition method of accounting for all business combinations, which requires assets and liabilities of the acquiree to be recorded at fair value, to measure the fair value of the consideration transferred, including contingent consideration, to be determined on the acquisition date, and to account for acquisition related costs separately from the business combination.

Amortization

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the respective assets as follows:

Developed technology13 years
Customer relationships10 years

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the net identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of Procare, AHA and AHP and the fair market value of the common shares issued by the Company for the acquisition of Procare, AHA and AHP. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”), the goodwill is not being amortized, but instead will be subject to an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test and will be reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. No impairment was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents44

Long-Lived Assets

We assess the valuation of components of our property and equipment and other long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances dictate that the carrying value might not be recoverable. We base our evaluation on indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such factors indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, we determine whether an impairment has occurred by analyzing an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If the estimate of undiscounted cash flows during the estimated useful life of the asset is less than the carrying value of the asset, we recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value, generally measured by the present value of the estimated cash flows.

Deferred Revenue

Deposits from customers are not recognized as revenues, but as liabilities, until the following conditions are met: revenues are realized when cash or claims to cash (receivable) are received in exchange for goods or services or when assets received in such exchange are readily convertible to cash or claim to cash or when such goods/services are transferred. When such income item is earned, the related revenue item is recognized, and the deferred revenue is reduced. To the extent revenues are generated from our support and maintenance services, we recognize such revenues when services are completed and billed. We received deposits from our various customers that have been recorded as deferred revenue and presented as current liabilities in the amount of $173,919 and $76,687 as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based awards granted under our employee compensation plan in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718-20, Awards Classified as Equity, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee directors at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the related service period for awards expected to vest.  We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk-free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected vesting term of the grant, expected dividends, and an assumption related to forfeitures of such grants.  Changes in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of the Company’s stock options and warrants.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

We apply the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740 for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. In accordance with this provision, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business, or no material effect is expected on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. With the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.

Based upon such evaluation, our management concluded that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the COSO framework criteria, as more fully described below.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Our directors may be removed only for cause by the ‎affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled ‎to vote in the election of directors.‎


Director Independence

Ms. Grenas, R.N., M.S.N. and Messrs. Mitchell Creem, MHA, Michael Reed MPH, and John Waters, CPA each qualify as “independent” in accordance with the listing requirements of NASDAQ. The ‎NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, including that the director is not, and has not ‎been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members has ‎engaged in various types of business dealings with us. ‎

In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our Board has made an affirmative determination as to each ‎independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise ‎of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our ‎Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business ‎and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management, including the beneficial ‎ownership of our capital stock by each director.

Messrs. Thomas T. Vo, M.D., MBA and Warren Hosseinion, M.D. are not considered independent because they are ‎officers of the Company. Danniel Stites, M.D. is not considered independent because he is the Chief Medical Officer and Managing Partner of both East Valley ER & Hospital and Phoenix ER & Medical Hospital, affiliates of the Company. Our Board also determined that each non-employee director who serves as a member of ‎the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating Committees satisfies the independence standards for such committee ‎established by the SEC and NASDAQ, as applicable.

Executive Sessions

Our independent directors meet in executive sessions without non-independent directors or management present on a regularly scheduled basis, but no less than twice per year. Each executive officers have been involved in anysession of the legal proceedings described in Item 401(f)independent directors is presided over by the Chair of Regulation S-K.the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3Director Candidates

The Nominating and 4 and amendments thereto furnishedGovernance Committee is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the Nominating and Governance Committee may solicit current directors and executives of the Company under Rule 16a-3(e) underfor the Exchange Act during its most recent fiscal yearnames of potentially qualified candidates or ask directors and throughexecutives to pursue their own business contacts for the date hereofnames of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Forms 5Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates, or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and amendments thereto furnishedGovernance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from the Company and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Governance Committee for candidates for election as a director. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current Board members), the Nominating and Governance Committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the Board, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, may take into account many factors as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, including: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; strong finance experience; relevant social policy concerns; experience relevant to the CompanyCompany’s industry; experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of the Company’s operations; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to the Company’s business relative to other board members; diversity of background and perspective, including, but not limited to, with respect to its most recent fiscal yearage, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience; practical and mature business judgment, including, but not limited to, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the date hereof, and any written representationexercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas. Stockholders may recommend individuals to the CompanyNominating and Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Nominating Committee, c/o Secretary, Nutex Health Inc., 6030 S. Rice Ave, Suite C, Houston, TX 77081. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.


Communications from Stockholders

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the reporting persondirectors as he considers appropriate.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that no Form 5our Secretary and Chairman of the Board consider to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board in writing: Nutex Health Inc., 6030 S. Rice Ave, Suite C, Houston, TX 77081.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. Currently, Dr. Vo serves as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board may, however, make changes to its leadership structure in the future as it deems appropriate.

In addition, the Board may appoint a lead independent director. The lead independent director, if appointed, will preside over periodic meetings of independent directors, serve as a liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors and perform such additional duties as the Board may otherwise determine and delegate.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the Board at regular Board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks. Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. While our Board is required,responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, our Audit Committee is responsible for discussing the Form 3 for Mr. Barnett), Mr. Bowen and Ms. Nguyen (merger exchange) and Forms 4 for each of Messrs. Fawcett Hosseinion (merger exchange) were filed lateCompany’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including guidelines and policies to govern the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.process by which the Company’s exposure to risk is handled. The Audit Committee also oversees management of financial and cybersecurity risks and potential conflicts of interest. Our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s compensation plans, equity incentive plans and other compensatory arrangements as well as risks associated with the Company’s corporate governance framework. The Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure.

ITEM 11.EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONExecutive Compensation

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation for Nutex executive officers who are named in the “Summary Compensation TableTable.” As of December 31, 2022, the “named executive officers” (“NEOs”) and their positions with Nutex Health Inc. were as follows:

Thomas T. Vo,‎ M.D. MBA, Chief Executive Officer;
Warren Hosseinion, M.D., President;
Jon C. Bates, Chief Financial Officer;
Michael Bowen (Chief Financial Officer until June 30, 2022);
Pamela Montgomery, Chief Legal Officer – Healthcare; and
Elisa Luqman, Chief Legal Officer – SEC.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our compensation philosophy is to attract, motivate, and retain talented executives responsible for Nutex’s success, which operates in an extremely competitive and rapidly evolving industry. With this in mind, we strive to set our compensation programs within the appropriate competitive framework and based on the achievement of its overall financial results, individual contributions, performance by our employees, and each executive’s potential to enhance long-term stockholder value. Within this overall philosophy, Nutex’s objectives are to:

motivate executives to achieve quantitative financial objectives and create a meaningful link between achievement of these objectives and individual executive compensation;
align our executives’ financial interests with our stockholders’ financial interests by providing significant long term equity based incentives; and
offer a competitive total compensation package that enables us to attract and retain top talent in a competitive external job market.

The compensation committee uses Nutex’s compensation philosophy and objectives as a guide in establishing the compensation programs, practices, and packages offered to our executives. The compensation committee also uses these objectives in assessing the proper allocation between long-term and short-term incentive compensation, and cash and non-cash compensation although Nutex has no formal policies requiring any specific allocation.

The compensation for the NEOs generally consists of three primary components: base salary, annual incentive bonus, and equity awards. Other compensation components include severance and change of control provisions, and generally available benefits such as health insurance, 401(k) retirement benefits, and participation in our 2022 Plan (as defined below).

The compensation committee considers the proper allocation between fixed and variable compensation and long-term and short-term incentives by considering the balance that is required to attract and retain executives and reward them for the short-term success of Nutex’s business, while appropriately motivating the executives to strive to achieve Nutex’s long-term goals. The compensation committee also considers the need to offer compensation packages that are comparable to those offered by companies competing with Nutex for executive talent. In allocating between cash and non-cash compensation, Nutex generally seeks to be in the middle of its peer group for cash compensation, and above average for equity-based compensation so as to align the interests of Nutex stockholders and its NEOs. Nutex also believes that generally available benefits should be competitive with the external job market, in order to allow it to attract and retain talent. The compensation committee, however, does not have a pre-established policy or target a specific percentile among our peers for the allocation between long-term and short-term incentive compensation and cash and non-cash compensation.


Role and Authority of the Board and Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for the executive compensation programs for our executive officers and reports to our Board on its discussions, decisions and other actions. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations for the respective executive officers that report to him to our Compensation Committee and typically attends compensation committee meetings. Our Chief Executive Officer makes such recommendations (other than with respect to himself) regarding base salary, and short-term and long-term compensation, including equity incentives, for our executive officers based on our results, an executive officer’s individual contribution toward these results, the executive officer’s role and performance of his or her duties and his or her achievement of individual goals. Our Compensation Committee then reviews the recommendations and other data, including various compensation survey data and publicly-available data of our peers, and makes decisions as to the target total direct compensation for each executive officer, as well as each individual compensation element. While our Chief Executive Officer typically attends meetings of the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee meets outside the presence of our Chief Executive Officer when discussing and approving his compensation and when discussing certain other matters, as well.

Our Compensation Committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation advisors, as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of our executive compensation programs and related policies. In fiscal year 2022, the Board and the Compensation Committee retained Mercer, a national compensation consulting firm, to provide it with market information, analysis and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. The Board and the Compensation Committee engaged Mercer to, among other things, assist in developing an appropriate group of peer companies to help us determine the appropriate level of overall compensation for our executive officers, as well as to assess each separate element of compensation, with a goal of ensuring that the compensation we offer to our executive officers, individually as well as in the aggregate, is competitive and fair. We do not believe the retention of, and the work performed by Mercer creates any conflict of interest.

This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt in the future could vary significantly from our historical practices and currently planned programs summarized in this discussion.


The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of the NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020:

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

2022 Salaries

Nutex provides base salary to the NEOs and other employees to compensate them for services rendered on a day-to-day basis during the fiscal year.

The compensation committee reviews executive base salaries in conjunction with Nutex’s annual performance review process. During this process, Nutex’s Chief Executive Officer will review the performance of the NEOs (other than himself) and will report those findings to the Compensation Committee. A NEO’s personal performance will be judged in part on whether Nutex’s business objectives are being met. In setting base salary, management and the Compensation Committee considers each NEO’s experience, skills, knowledge, responsibilities, and performance, Nutex’s performance as a whole, and the report and recommendations of Nutex’s Chief Executive Officer (other than for himself). An assessment of a NEO’s personal performance is qualitative, with much reliance on our Chief Executive Officer’s subjective evaluation of a NEO’s personal performance (other than his own personal performance) and the Compensation Committee’s experience and knowledge regarding compensation matters. No specific weight is attributed to any of the factors considered by the Compensation Committee in setting base salary changes. For newly hired NEOs, the Compensation Committee also considers the base salary of the individual at his or her prior employment and any unique personal circumstances that motivated the executive to leave that prior position and join Nutex. The compensation committee aims to keep salaries in line with the external job market. Increases over the prior year’s base salary will be considered within the context of Nutex’s overall annual compensation adjustment budget to ensure that any increases are fiscally prudent and feasible for Nutex. The compensation committee does not apply specific formulas to determine increases. There is no process in setting these annual merit increase budgets other than the annual business planning process.

In 2022, the NEOs received an annual base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our company. The base salary payable to each named executive officer is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. The 2022 annual base salaries for our NEOs were $1,000,000 for Thomas T. Vo, M.D., MBA, $750,000 for Warren Hosseinion, M.D., $300,000 for Jon C. Bates, $225,000 for Michael Bowen, $250,000 for Pamela Montgomery and $250,000 for Elisa Luqman. The actual base salaries earned by our NEOs for services in 2022 are set forth above in the Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled “Salary”.


2022 Bonuses

Previously, Nutex has utilized incentive bonuses to reward performance achievements and has annual target incentive bonuses for certain of our executives, payable either in whole or in part, depending on the extent to which the financial performance goals set by the Compensation Committee are achieved. Our NEOs were eligible to earn cash bonuses for work performed in calendar year 2022, as determined by our Board and Compensation Committee (or a subcommittee thereof). In connection with the Closing of the Merger, our Chief Legal Officer- Healthcare was awarded a bonus of $12,500. ‎As of the Closing of the Merger, ‎the board/Compensation Committee elected not to award any cash bonus payments to any of the executive officers for theirfiscal 2022.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Internal Revenue Code Section 409A

Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”) imposes additional significant taxes in the event that an executive officer, director or service duringprovider receives “deferred compensation” that does not satisfy the years endedrequirements of Section 409A. Although Nutex does not maintain a traditional nonqualified deferred compensation plan, Section 409A does apply to certain severance and bonus arrangements and equity awards. Further, Nutex intends to structure its equity awards in a manner to either avoid the application of Section 409A or, to the extent doing so is not possible, comply with the applicable Section 409A requirements.

2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

In 2019, we adopted the 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). Awards granted under the 2019 ‎Plan have a ten-year term and may be incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, ‎restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, performance units or performance shares. The awards were granted at ‎an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and generally vest over a four-year period. The 2019 Plan has since been replaced by the 2022 Plan (as defined below).‎

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

On March 16, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved the Amended and Restated Nutex Health Inc. ‎‎2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) which amended and ‎replaced, in its entirety, the 2019 Plan upon the closing of the ‎merger by and among the Company, Nutex Acquisition LLC (“Merger Sub”), Micro Hospital Holding LLC (solely ‎for the purposes of certain sections), Nutex Health LLC (solely for the purposes of certain sections) and Thomas T. ‎Vo, solely in his capacity as the representative of the equityholders of the Company (the “Merger Agreement”), ‎pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned ‎subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Awards granted under the 2022 Plan have a ten-‎year term and may be ‎incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, ‎stock appreciation rights, ‎performance units or performance shares. The awards are granted at an exercise price ‎equal to the fair market ‎value on the date of grant and generally vest over a four-year period. ‎ The Compensation Committee believes that unvested equity awards are a key factor in motivating and retaining executive personnel, as well as incentivizing executive personnel to preserve the current value and grow the future value of Nutex common stock, thereby furthering the interests of Nutex’s other stockholders.

The 2022 Plan can be found in its entirety as Exhibit 5.4 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with ‎the SEC on March 3, 2023, and available at www.sec.gov.‎

In March of 2022, the Compensation Committee made grants of 3,624,000 Nonqualified Stock ‎Options to the executive ‎officers, consultants, and directors under the 2022 Plan.‎ In December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Stock Options. Both Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) (which are entitled to potentially favorable tax treatment) and nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) may be granted under the 2022 Plan. The committee will determine the vesting schedule and number of AHA and AHP Mergers and discretionaryshares covered by each stock option grants made in 2020granted to a participant. The stock option exercise price is determined at grant by the committee and must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant (110% for performance. These amounts reflectISOs granted to stockholders who own more than 10% of the total outstanding shares of the company, its parent or any of its subsidiaries). The term of a stock option shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant date fair values(or 5 years for ISOs granted to stockholders who own more than 10% of the total outstanding shares of the company, its parent or any of its subsidiaries).

Other Shares or Share-Based Awards. The committee may grant other forms of equity-based or equity-related awards other than stock options, restricted stock, or RSUs. Such awards may be based upon attainment of performance awards. Thegoals established by the administrator and may involve the transfer of actual shares to participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts reportedbased on the value of shares.

Clawback Rights. Awards granted under the 2022 Plan will be subject to recoupment or clawback under the Company’s clawback policy or applicable law, both as in effect from time to time.

Change of Control of Company. Awards granted under the 2022 Plan do not reflect compensation actually received.automatically accelerate and vest, become exercisable (with respect to stock options), or have performance targets deemed earned at target level if there is a sale of the Company. The 2022 Plan provides flexibility to the committee to determine how to adjust awards at the time of a sale of the Company.

(3) Tax gross-up paymentNo Repricing. The 2022 Plan prohibits the amendment of the terms of any outstanding award, and any other action taken in a manner to Mr. Hosseinionachieve (i) the reduction of the exercise price of NQSOs, ISOs or stock appreciation rights (collectively, “Stock Rights”); (ii) the cancellation of outstanding Stock Rights in exchange for cash or other awards with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original award; (iii) the cancellation of outstanding Stock Rights with an exercise price or base price that is less than the then current fair market value of a share of common stock in exchange for other awards, cash or other property or (iv) otherwise effect a transaction that would be considered a “repricing” for the purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the common stock option grantsis listed or quoted without stockholder approval.


Transferability of Awards. Awards under the 2022 Plan generally are not transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an award generally will be paid only to the AHA AHP Mergers in light of his contributions and this tax being applicable due to Mr. Hosseinion receiving reduced amounts of compensation for his service prior to entering intorecipient or the AHA and AHP Merger Agreement.recipient’s beneficiary or representative.

Employment Arrangements with Named Executive OfficersAdjustments. As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, each share limit and the number and kind of shares available under the 2022 Plan and any outstanding awards, as well as the exercise price or base price of awards, and performance targets under certain types of performance-based awards, are subject to adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations, mergers, combinations, recapitalizations, stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar events that change the number or kind of shares outstanding, and extraordinary dividends or distributions of property to the stockholders.

ClinigenceAmendment and Termination. The Board may amend, modify or terminate the 2022 Plan without stockholder approval, except that stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment that, in the reasonable opinion of the board or the committee, constitutes a material change requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of a stock exchange on which shares of common stock are then listed. The 2022 Plan will terminate at the earliest of (i) termination of the 2022 Plan by the Board or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the board adoption of the 2022 Plan. Awards outstanding upon expiration of the 2022 Plan shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated or have expired.

Benefits and Perquisites

Pension Benefits

None of the NEOs participates in or has account balances in qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans sponsored by Nutex.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

None of the NEOs participates in or has account balances in non-qualified defined contribution plans or other deferred compensation plans maintained by Nutex.

Health and Welfare Plans

In 2022, we reimbursed our President for medical benefits pursuant to his employment agreement as set forth in the ‎executive compensation table above, and the remaining‎ NEOs participated in a 401(k) retirement savings plan maintained by Nutex. The Internal Revenue Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. In 2022, the Company made matching contributions up to 3% under the 401(k) plan.

In 2022, the NEOs participated in standard health and welfare plans maintained by Nutex Health Inc. We believe the benefits described above are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to our NEOs.


Tax Gross-Ups

There were no gross up payments in 2022. Each employment agreement provides that if the compensation and benefits ‎payable under such agreement would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then the ‎employment agreement or award agreements, as the case may be, (would provide either the full amount or a lesser ‎amount such that no portion is partysubject to three (3) yearSection 280G, whichever provides the higher after-tax amount, including ‎the potential taxes under Section 4999.) ‎

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Clinigence Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Valuation of Assets and Liabilities Assumed in the Acquisitions of Accountable Healthcare America Inc.(“AHA”), AHP Management Inc.(“AHP”), and Procare Health, Inc.(Procare)

Description of the Matter

During the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company completed the acquisitions of three businesses, Accountable Healthcare America Inc.(“AHA”), AHP Management Inc.(“AHP”), and Procare Health, Inc.(Procare) for net aggregate consideration of approximately $29.2 million, $39.1 million, and $2.9 million respectively.

Accountable Healthcare America Inc.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed its acquisition of AHA for $29.2 million on February 26, 2021. The Company accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including identified intangible assets of $2.2 million and resulting goodwill of $22.8 million. The Company, with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist, estimated the fair values of the identified intangible assets using valuation models. Such valuation models require significant assumptions.The Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets using the Developed Technology Royalty Rates (valuation method), which is a specific discounted cash flow method that required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future cash flows and the selection of implied rate of return and discount rates.

AHP Management Inc.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed its acquisition of AHP for $39.1 million on February 26, 2021. The Company accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including identified intangible assets of $6.9 million and resulting goodwill of $33.5 million. The Company, with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist, estimated the fair values of the identified intangible assets using valuation models. Such valuation models require significant assumptions. The Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings methodology (member relationships) and Relief from Royalty methodology (trade name/trademarks), which is a specific discounted cash flow method that required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future cash flows and the selection of implied rate of return and discount rates.

Procare Health, Inc.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed its acquisition of Procare for $2.9 million on October 15, 2021. The Company accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including identified intangible assets of $2.1 million and resulting goodwill of $0.9 million. The Company, with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist, estimated the fair values of the identified intangible assets using valuation models. Such valuation models require significant assumptions. The Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings methodology (Management Contracts) and Relief from Royalty methodology (Trademarks), which is a specific discounted cash flow method that required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future cash flows and the selection of implied rate of return and discount rates.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

Auditing management’s assessment of fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities is highly subjective and judgmental. Further changes in either the assumptions or method utilized may have a material impact on the fair value assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our valuation specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s key assumptions used in developing the fair value estimates, such as: (i) Forecasted revenue growth rates (ii) Future cash flows and (iii) Weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) and (iv) Discount rate.

Our audit procedures included, amongst others:

We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future revenue growth rates and cash flows by comparing the projections to historical results and certain peer companies.
We compared the Company’s (1) forecasted revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins to each acquired company’s historical actual results to assess reasonableness of the Company’s forecasts.
With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and discount rates by using sensitivity analysis and ensuring the inputs to the valuations were reasonable for the methodology.

CLINIGENCE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements presented are those of Clinigence Holdings, Inc., formerly known as iGambit Inc., (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Accountable Healthcare America, Inc. (“AHA”), AHP Management, Inc. (“AHP”), Clinigence Health, Inc. (“Clinigence”), Procare Health, Inc. (“Procare”) and HealthDatix, Inc. (“HealthDatix”). The Company’s name was changed to Clinigence Holdings, Inc. on October 29, 2019 in connection with a reverse merger. In October 2018, Clinigence was incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinigence LLC. The Company is a population health analytics company that provides turnkey SaaS solutions that enable connected intelligence across the care continuum by transforming massive amounts of data into actionable insights. The Company’s solutions help healthcare organizations throughout the United States improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care, enhance population health management and optimize provider networks. The Company enables risk-bearing healthcare organizations achieve their objectives on the path to value-based care. The Company’s platform automatically extracts and delivers targeted data insights from its cloud-based analytics engine directly to the workflows and technologies of its customers. This enhances end-user workflows with actionable analytics, seamlessly delivers data from disparate sources to the point of engagement, automates the delivery of data to ensure on-time access, and reduces dependency on non-essential applications from the end-user’s workflow. All of this allows the healthcare organization to enable population health management, manage cost and utilization, improve quality, identify gaps in care, risk stratify and target patients, increase collaboration among providers and to optimize network provider performance.

AHA was organized to acquire a series of companies providing a broad array of health and managed care services to Medicare members. AHA’s initial focus is on acquiring Accountable Care Organizations (“ACO’s”), Managed Service Organizations (“MSO’s”) and Primary Care Physician Practices (“PCP’s”) with significant numbers of Medicare members.

AHP is a privately held medical management company and provider network that manages its affiliated medical group, AHP Independent Physicians Association.

ProCare is a leading management services organization (“MSO”) that currently provides services for one health maintenance organization (“HMO”) and three independent physician associations (“IPAs”) in Southern and Northern California.

Liquidity and Management Plans

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $31,888,477 and approximately $6 million in convertible debt that matures within the current year. As a result, the Company has suffered recurring losses and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. These losses are expected to continue for an extended period of time. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Historically, the Company’s major sources of cash have been comprised of proceeds from various public and private offerings of its common stock, debt financings, and option and warrant exercises. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company raised approximately $14.4 million in gross proceeds from various public and private offerings of its common stock.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $15.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Although the Company expects to have sufficient capital to fund its obligations, as they become due, in the ordinary course of business until at least December 31, 2022, the actual amount of cash that it will need to operate is subject to many factors. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company expects to collect the receivable of $1.3 million from the sale of its ACMG investment. The Company also decreased its debt in 2021. With the funds raised and the other mitigating factors the Company believes that it has enough cash to fund its operations for one year from the date of filing. Therefore, such conditions of substantial doubt as of December 31, 2021 have subsequently been alleviated.

The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital in order to continue to execute its business plan in the future. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company or whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to further scale back its operations.

Note 2 – Discontinued Operations

Sale of Business

On April 21, 2020 (effective March 1, 2020) the Company completed the sale of HealthDatix, Inc., a Florida corporation (“HDX FL”) to Jerry Robinson, Mary-Jo Robinson and Kathleen Shepherd  (“HDX Management”) in accordance with a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and HDX Management.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the total consideration paid for the outstanding capital stock of HDX FL was the execution of Settlement and Release Agreements by HDX Management, releasing the Company from all obligations pursuant to certain HDX Management Employment Agreements dated April 1, 2017, and remittance of 1,000 shares of HDX common stock previously issued to HDX Management. As per the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s operations of HDX FL ended February 29, 2020 and HDX Management’s operation of the business is effective as of March 1, 2020.

The components of loss from discontinued operations presented in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are presented as follows:

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Clinigence Health, Inc., Accountable Healthcare America Inc., AHP Management Inc., and Procare Health, Inc.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable reserves, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, debt conversion features, stock-based compensation, certain assumptions related to the valuation of the reserved shares and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the Company’s acquisitions. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

Variable Interest Entities

On an ongoing basis, as circumstances indicate the need for reconsideration, the Company evaluates each legal entity that is not wholly-owned by the Company in accordance with the consolidation guidance. The evaluation considers all of the Company’s variable interests, including equity ownership, as well as management services agreements. To fall within the scope of the consolidation guidance, an entity must meet both of the following criteria:

•The entity has a legal structure that has been established to conduct business activities and to hold assets; such entity can be in the form of a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, among others; and

•The Company has a variable interest in the legal entity – i.e., variable interests that are contractual, such as equity ownership, or other financial interests that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets.

If an entity does not meet both criteria above, the Company applies other accounting guidance, such as the cost or equity method of accounting. If an entity does meet both criteria above, the Company evaluates such entity for consolidation under either the variable interest model if the legal entity meets any of the following characteristics to qualify as a VIE, or under the voting model for all other legal entities that are not VIEs.

A legal entity is determined to be a VIE if it has any of the following three characteristics:

1. The entity does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support;

2. The entity is established with non-substantive voting rights (i.e., where the entity deprives the majority economic interest holder(s) of voting rights); or

3. The equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Equity holders meet this criterion if they lack any of the following:

a. The power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly influence the entity’s economic performance, as evidenced by:

i. Substantive participating rights in day-to-day management of the entity’s activities; or

ii. Substantive kick-out rights over the party responsible for significant decisions;

iii. The obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses; or

iv. The right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns.

If the Company determines that any of the three characteristics of a VIE are met, the Company will conclude that the entity is a VIE and evaluate it for consolidation under the variable interest model.

Variable interest model

If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. The Company consolidates a VIE if both power and benefits belong to the Company – that is, the Company (i) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power), and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company consolidates VIEs whenever it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 17 – “Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)” to the consolidated financial statements for information on the Company’s consolidated VIEs. If there are variable interests in a VIE but the Company is not the primary beneficiary, the Company may account for the investment using the equity method of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The Company does not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured.

Accounts Receivable

The Company analyzes the collectability of accounts receivable from continuing operations each accounting period and adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly.  A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of accounts receivables, including the creditworthiness of each customer, current and historical collection history and the related aging of past due balances.  The Company evaluates specific accounts when it becomes aware of information indicating that a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition, lower credit ratings, bankruptcy or other factors affecting the ability to render payment. As of December 31, 2021, no customers represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable.

Property and equipment and depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Depreciation for both financial reporting and income tax purposes is computed using combinations of the straight line and accelerated methods over the estimated lives of the respective assets as follows:

Schedule of estimated lives of respective assets
Office equipment and fixtures5 - 7 years
Computer hardware5 years
Computer software3 years
Development equipment5 years

Amortization

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated lives of the respective assets as follows:

Schedule of estimated lives of the respective assets
Population Health Platform technology11 years
Member relationships15 Years
Management contracts 15 years15 Years
Trademarks6-10 Years

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the net identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of Procare, AHA and AHP and the fair market value of the common shares issued by the Company for the acquisition of Procare, AHA and AHP. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”), the goodwill is not being amortized, but instead will be subject to an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test, and will be reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. No impairment was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the valuation of components of its property and equipment and other long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances dictate that the carrying value might not be recoverable. The Company bases its evaluation on indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such factors indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, the Company determines whether an impairment has occurred by analyzing an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If the estimate of undiscounted cash flows during the estimated useful life of the asset is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value, generally measured by the present value of the estimated cash flows.

Deferred Revenue

Deposits from customers are not recognized as revenues, but as liabilities, until the following conditions are met: revenues are realized when cash or claims to cash (receivable) are received in exchange for goods or services or when assets received in such exchange are readily convertible to cash or claim to cash or when such goods/services are transferred. When such income item is earned, the related revenue item is recognized, and the deferred revenue is reduced. To the extent revenues are generated from the Company’s support and maintenance services, the Company recognizes such revenues when services are completed and billed. The Company has received deposits from its various customers that have been recorded as deferred revenue and presented as current liabilities in the amount of $173,919 and $76,687 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based awards granted under its employee compensation plan in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718-20, Awards Classified as Equity, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee directors at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the related service period for awards expected to vest.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected vesting term of the grant, expected dividends, and an assumption related to forfeitures of such grants.  Changes in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of the Company’s stock options and warrants.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740 for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the Company’s financial statements. In accordance with this provision, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short- and long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk. The Company’s investment in AHA was valued at level 3 input.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generated by software licenses, training, and consulting. Software licenses are provided as SaaS-based subscriptions that grants access to proprietary online databases and data management solutions. Training and consulting are project based and billable to customers on a monthly-basis or task-basis.

Revenue from training and consulting are generally recognized upon delivery of training or completion of the consulting project. The duration of training and consulting projects are typically a few weeks or months and last no longer than 12 months.

SaaS-based subscriptions are generally marketed under multi-year agreements with annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or month-to-month renewals and revenue is recognized ratably over the renewal period with the unearned amounts received recorded as deferred revenue. For multiple-element arrangements accounted for in accordance with specific software accounting guidance, multiple deliverables are segregated into units of accounting which are delivered items that have value to a customer on a standalone basis.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, using the modified retrospective method. The modified retrospective adoption used by the Company did not result in a material cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Revenue from substantially all the Company’s contracts with customers continues to be recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company provides its customers with software licensing, training, and consulting through SaaS-based subscriptions. This subscription revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which the Company bills and collects the charges for licensing and related services. The Company determines the measurement of revenue and the timing of revenue recognition utilizing the following core principles:

1. Identifying the contract with a customer;

2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determining the transaction price;

4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5. Recognizing revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligations.

Revenues from subscriptions are deferred and recorded as deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations and recognized over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company completes its contractual performance obligations through providing its customers access to specified data through subscriptions for a service period, and training on consulting associated with the subscriptions. The Company primarily invoices its customers on a monthly basis and does not provide any refunds, rights of return, or warranties to its customers.

AHA’s performance obligation is to manage ACO participants who provide healthcare services to CMS’s members for the purpose of generating shared savings. If achieved, the Company receives shared savings payments from CMS, which represents variable consideration. The shared savings payments are recognized using the most likely methodology. However, as the Company does not have sufficient insight from CMS into the financial performance of the shared risk pool because of unknown factors related to shifting patient count, risk adjustment factors and benchmark adjustments, among other factors, an estimate cannot be developed. Therefore, these amounts are considered to be fully constrained and only recorded in the months when such payments are known and/or received. The Company generally receives payment within ten months after the fiscal year-end.

AHP negotiates fixed per-member, per-month (PMPM) rates (Capitation) with third-party insurers for a fixed period of time. The Independent Physicians Association (“IPA”) recognizes capitation payments received in advance from third-party insurers as revenue on a monthly basis without regard to the frequency, extent, or nature of the medical services actually furnished.

Procare’s revenue is generated primarily through management fees that are received based on Gross Capitation Revenues of the IPA/Physician Groups. Revenue is paid monthly and is a flat fixed rate determined by the agreement. In addition to Management Fees, there is revenue generated through consultant services that are charged as a flat fixed rate and represent a small portion of the total revenue.

Note 6 – Investment in ACMG

In connection with the acquisition of Accountable Care Medical Group of Florida, Inc. (“ACMG”), AHA defaulted on its payment obligations of $15,000,000 by the extended payment due date of November 15, 2020. Accordingly, AHA was required to return 71% of its ownership to the shareholders of ACMG in full settlement of the default. Consequently, AHA deconsolidated its reporting of ACMG. The Company recognized that AHA held a non-controlling 29% equity ownership interest in ACMG as of February 28, 2021 that was required to be measured at fair value. The Company determined through the services of an independent valuation under ASC 805 using an income approach, market approach, and asset-based approach that the fair value of its 29% equity ownership interest in ACMG is $7,134,000. On November 12, 2021, ACMG was sold to Genuine Health Group, LLC for a purchase price of $30 million less costs and adjustments. The Company’s share of the proceeds was $5,887,806 of which $1,333,130 was held back in escrow subject to further purchase price adjustments and is reported as a current asset. Although the settlement agreement provided that all parties had no further rights and claims, the Company negotiated and received a settlement paid for monies owed for 2020 MSSP profits. For the period March 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company received a settlement payment from ACMG of $522,000, which is reported as other income.

Note 7 – Operating Lease

The Company determines if a contract is, or contains, a lease at contract inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current portion of finance lease obligations and finance lease obligations, net of current portion in the Company's audited consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In addition, ROU assets include initial direct costs incurred by the lessee as well as any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and exclude lease incentives. The Company used the implicit rate in the lease in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of one year or less are generally not included in ROU assets and liabilities.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as follows:

Schedule Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities    
  December 31,
  2021
Operating Lease:    
Operating lease right-of-use assets, net $98,008 
Current portion of operating lease liabilities  46,593

Note 8 - Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company calculates net income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”). Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common share was determined by dividing net earnings (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Beginning in April 2018, the Company entered into a series of short-term notes with interest rates ranging from 24% to 31% per annum. Throughout the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company made average monthly principal and interest payments approximating $8,200 per month. The outstanding balance on the short-term notes at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0 and $1,765, respectively.

The Company’s long-term debt is comprised of promissory notes pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (see below), under Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES ACT”) enacted on March 27, 2020 and revised under the provisions of the PayCheck Protection Flexibility Act of 2020 on June 5, 2020 and administered by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”).

On May 22, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $150,000 pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program.  Under the terms of the loan, Borrower must pay principal and interest payments of $731 every month beginning Twenty four (24) months from the date of the Note. The SBA will apply each installment payment first to pay interest accrued to the day the SBA receives the payment and will then apply any remaining balance to reduce principal. All remaining principal and accrued interest is due and payable Thirty (30) years from the date of the Note. Borrower may prepay this Note in part or in full at any time, without notice or penalty.

On April 21, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $311,125 under the Payroll Protection Program (“PPP Loan”). On February 25, 2021, the Company received a second PPP loan of $260,087. The loans accrue interest at a rate of 1% and has an original maturity date of two years which can be extended to five years by mutual agreement of the Company and SBA.  The PPP loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties.

Under the terms of the loan, a portion or all of the loan is forgivable to the extent the loan proceeds are used to fund qualifying payroll, rent and utilities during a designated twenty-four week period. Payments are deferred until the SBA determines the amount to be forgiven. The Company has utilized the proceeds of the PPP loan in a manner which has enabled qualification as a forgivable loan. However, no assurance can be provided that all or any portion of the PPP loans will be forgiven. AHA’s PPP loans of $172,000 and $150,000 were assumed in the merger transaction under the same terms. On June 21, 2021, the first PPP loan in the amount of $311,125 and AHA’s PPP loans of $172,000 and $150,000 on June 28, 2021 and August 28, 2021, respectively were forgiven by the SBA and reported as other income in the consolidated statements of operations. The balance on the PPP loans was $260,087 and $311,125 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively and has been classified as a long-term liability in notes payable, less current portion on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company assumed a note payable in the AHA merger transaction that AHA entered into with an individual investor on October 24, 2019.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $13.3 million which may be carried forward indefinitely. These net operating loss carryforwards may be used to offset future taxable income and thereby reduce the Company’s U.S. federal income taxes. The net operating losses may be subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% change in ownership as determined under the regulations.

AHP was incorporated in 2021 to facilitate the merger and will file separate federal and state tax returns on a standalone basis for the 2021 tax year.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In accordance with ASC 740, a valuation allowance must be established if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment is based upon consideration of available positive and negative evidence, which includes, among other things, the Company’s most recent results of operations and expected future profitability. Based on the Company’s cumulative losses in recent years, a full valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 has been established as Management believes that the Company will not more likely than not realize the benefit of those deferred tax assets. Therefore, no tax provision has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 740-10 in accounting for its uncertain tax positions. ASC 740-10 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Management has determined that the Company has no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under ASC 740-10.

The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S., and certain state jurisdictions. The Company has not been audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or any states in connection with income taxes. The Company’s tax years generally remain open to examination for all federal and state income tax matters until its net operating loss carryforwards are utilized and the applicable statutes of limitation have expired. The federal and state tax authorities can generally reduce a net operating loss (but not create taxable income) for a period outside the statute of limitations in order to determine the correct amount of net operating loss which may be allowed as a deduction against income for a period within the statute of limitations.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if incurred, as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOL’s incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the CARES Act, but at present does not expect that the NOL carryback provision of the CARES Act would result in a material cash benefit to us.

Note 17 - Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

A VIE is defined as a legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company follows guidance on the consolidation of VIEs that requires companies to utilize a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on how the Company determines VIEs and its treatment.

The following table includes assets that can only be used to settle the liabilities of AHPIPA and the creditors of AHPIPA have no recourse to the Company. These assets and liabilities are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
