In particular, the healthcare industry, hospitals and providers of elective procedures have been and maypotential outcomes.

increased fuel costs, U.S. restrictions on trade, and transitory inflation have impacted and may continue to impact the financial conditions of our customers and the patients they serve.

In addition, actions by United States federal, state and foreign governments to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, also had and may continue to have a significant adverse effect on the markets in which we conduct our businesses. COVID-19 poses the risk that our workforce, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting normal business activities for an extended period of time, including due to shutdowns or stay-at-home orders that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. We have implemented policies to allow our employees to work remotely as a result of the pandemic as we reviewed processes related to workplace safety, including social distancing and sanitation practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The COVID-19 pandemic could also cause delays in acquiring new customers and executing renewals and could also impact our business as consumer behavior changes in response to the pandemic.

Since the start of the second quarter of 2021, there has been increased availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19,operating results, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel, and government activities and functions, including healthcare and elective surgeries, and we have experienced a gradual resumption of economic activitiesmitigate adverse developments in our industries. On the other hand, infection rates continue to fluctuate in various regions and new strains of the virus, including the Delta variant, remain a risk, which may give rise to implementation of restrictions in the geographic areas that we serve. In addition, there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including disruption of the supply chains, product shortages, increased delivery costs, increased governmental regulation, strains on healthcare systems, and delays in shipments, product development, technology launches and facility access.

We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, including legislation to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which was enacted in March 2020, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 which was enacted in March 2021. Although a significant portion of our anticipated revenue for 2021 is derived from fixed-fee and minimum-guarantee arrangements, primarily from large, well-capitalized customers which we believe somewhat mitigates the risks to our business, our per-unit and variable-fee based revenue will continue to be susceptible to the volatility, supply chain disruptions, microchip shortages and potential market downturns induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The full extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic; the availability, distribution and effectiveness of vaccines; the spread of new variants of COVID-19; the continued and renewed imposition of protective public safety measures; the impact of COVID-19 on integration of acquisitions, expansion plans, implementation of telemedicine, restrictions on elective procedures, delays in payor remittance and increased regulations; and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for consumer products. Although we are unable to predict the full impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we are actively managing our financial expenditures in response to continued uncertainty.business. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of the Form 10-K.

3.4. LEASES

Under ASC 842, Leases, a contract is a lease, or contains a lease, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To determine whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, an entity shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the entity has both of the following: (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset; and (b) the right to direct the use of the identified asset. The Company does not assume renewals in the determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably assured at lease commencement. Lease agreements generally do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.covenants

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a practical expedient, the Company elected not to separate non-lease components for the corporate office facility (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) from lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and instead to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component.component

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of options. The fair value of each option grant is determined on the date of grant and the expense is recorded on a straight-line basis and is included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The assumptions used in the model include expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and forfeiture rate. The Company’s determination of these assumptions areis outlined below.

Expected life — The expected life assumption is based on an analysis of the Company’s historical employee exercise patterns.

Volatility — Volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for a term consistent with the expected life.

Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for issues with remaining terms similar to the expected life of the options.

Dividend yield — Expected dividend yield is calculated based on cash dividends declared by the Board for the previous four quarters and dividing that result by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the quarter. The Company has not declared a dividend to date.

Forfeiture rate — The Company does not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of the grant due to the limited number of historical forfeitures. As a result, the forfeitures are recorded at the time the grant is forfeited.

The following assumptions were used to value the awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

The initial accounting for the acquisition of Sentry is incomplete as we, with the support of our valuation specialist, are in the process of finalizing the fair market value calculations of the acquired net assets. In addition, the Company is in the process of reviewing the applicable future cash flows used in determining the purchase accounting. As a result, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements related to the Sentry acquisition are preliminary and the measurement period remains open. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnifications

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it may be obligated to indemnify third parties with respect to certain matters. These obligations include, but are not limited to, contracts entered into with physicians where the Company agrees, under certain circumstances, to indemnify a third party, against losses arising from matters including but not limited

to medical malpractice and other liability. The impact of any such future claims, if made, on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to final outcome of these potential claims.

As permitted under Nevada law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company believes, given the absence of any such payments in the Company’s history, and the estimated low probability of such payments in the future, that the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is immaterial. In addition, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable the Company to recover any payments, should they occur.

Performance share compensation

In April 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ)” issued Civil Investigative Demands which seek information with respect to a civil investigation under the Anti-kickback Statute and the False Claims Act.  We voluntarily contacted the DOJ offering to provide any materials needed in the investigation and to answer any questions.  While our policy during the relevant time was to not seek payments from federal health care programs, the third-party billing company we used at that time submitted some claims to Medicare Advantage plans administered by commercial insurance companies.  We have worked diligently to ensure that payments from Medicare Advantage plans have been returned to the commercial insurance companies and we believe we have returned substantially all such payments that we have discovered to date, totaling approximately $450 thousand.  The DOJ has not made any allegations in the investigation, and we are currently unable to predict the eventual scope, ultimate timing, or outcome of this investigation. As parta result, we are unable to estimate the amount or range of a reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”) during 2016, the Company entered into a one-time stock grant agreement with 2 executives which defines a bonus share threshold as follows: should the Company meet or exceed a 2017 fiscal year EBITDA threshold of Cdn$7,500, the Company would issue 1,200,000 shares of common stock of the surviving issuer at the trailing 30-day average closing price. See the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 30, 2021 for additional discussion.  During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company settled 1,000,000 performance shares resultingany potential loss, if any, arising from the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. During the first half of 2021, the Company settled the remaining 200,000 performance shares.this investigation.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 1, 2021, the Company granted 197,000 stock options to certain officers and employees.

On November 15, 2021, the Company announced that it has closed a brokered private placement of approximately 900,000 shares of the Company at an issue price of $5.25 per share, for gross proceeds of $4.75 million (the “Offering”). The proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for expanding the Company’s remote neurology services offering for intraoperative neuromonitoring (“IONM”), extending the Company’s operational footprint into new states, supporting expected growth generated by the agreement with Premier, Inc. and general working capital purposes. Kestrel Merchant Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”) acted as the exclusive sponsor and The Benchmark Company, LLC (the “Agent”) acted as sole placement agent in connection with the Offering. Additionally, certain directors, officers and employees are expected to participated in a subsequent offering to settle approximately $700 thousand of compensation at a market price to be determined in accordance with Nasdaq listing requirements following the end of the Company’s trading blackout in accordance with the Company’s insider trading policy.

OVERVIEW

Assure is a best-in-class provider of outsourced intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (“IONM”) and an emerging provider of remote neurology services.services that help make surgeries safer. The Company delivers a turnkey suite of clinical and operational services to support surgeons and medical facilities during invasive procedures includingprocedures. IONM has been well established as a standard of care and risk mitigation tool for various surgical verticals such as neurosurgery, spine, neurosurgery,cardiovascular, orthopedic, ear, nose, and throat cardiovascular(“ENT”), and orthopedic.other surgical procures that place the nervous system at risk. Accredited by The Joint Commission, Assure’s mission is to provide exceptional surgical care and help make invasive surgeries safer. Our strategy focuses on utilizing best of class personnel and partners to deliver outcomes that are beneficial to all stakeholders including patients, surgeons, hospitals, insurers, and shareholders.

During each procedure, Assure provides two services, the Technical Component and Professional Component of IONM. Our in-house Interoperative Neurophysiologists (“INP”) provide the Technical Component IONM services in the operating room throughout the surgical procedure, while the telehealth-oriented supervising practitioners provide a positivelevel of redundancy and risk mitigation, the Professional Component, in support of the onsite INPs and surgical team. In addition, Assure offers a comprehensive suite of IONM services, including scheduling the INP and supervising practitioner, real time monitoring, patient experience.advocacy and subsequent billing and collecting for services provided.

Historically, the foundation of Assure’s business has been providing the Technical Component of IONM identifies real-time changes in spinal cord, brain, and peripheral nerve functions during high-risk surgeries to prevent injuries or accidental damage to patients that could lead to strokes, heart attacks, paralysis or other serious medical issues. IONM is well established and regarded as the standard of care in U.S healthcare.

Assure employsvia our INP staff.We employ highly trained IONM technologists,INPs, which provide a direct point of contact in the operating room during the surgeries to relay critical information to the surgical team. In our one-to-one model, Assure pairs a surgeon with a team while Company physicians deliverof INPs to promote a level of familiarity, comfort and efficiency between the surgeon and the INP. Each INP has the ability to handle approximately 200 cases annually. Our INPs monitor the surgical procedure using state of the art, commercially available, diagnostic medical equipment. Assure INP’s are certified by a

third-party accreditation agency. The success of our service depends upon the timely and successful interpretation of the data signals by the monitoring team to quickly determine if there is a deficiency and the surgical intervention required to positively impact the patient and surgery. Employing this model, Assure has rapidly expanded its operational footprint from a home base in Colorado and increased its number of managed cases from approximately 1,600 in 2017 to approximately 17,400 in 2021.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, Assure began executing on its long-term vertical integration plan by expanding into remote neurology services. As a result, Assure began delivering remote neurology services in support of the surgical team.team and INPs rather than exclusively relying on third-party supervising practitioners as it had previously. We currently have supervising practitioners employed and working with surgical teams and our INPs.  They are utilizing equipment and training to monitor evoked potentials (“EPs”), electroencephalographic (“EEG”) and electromyography (“EMG”) and several complex modalities during surgical procedures to pre-emptively notify the surgeon of any nerve related issues that are identified.

Remote neurology services is a one-to-many business model, as one supervising practitioner is able to monitor multiple patients simultaneously.  As a result, the Professional Component has a different financial profile than the Technical Component. Supervising practitioners provide remote neurology services from an off-site location and maintain the ability to manage multiple cases simultaneously. As a result, each supervising practitioner has the ability to handle approximately 2,000 or more cases annually. In addition,2021, Assure offers surgeonsperformed approximately 17,400 total managed cases including managing approximately 2,100 remote neurology cases with employed supervising practitioners.  The number of remote neurology managed cases is expected to expand significantly as our supervising practitioners increase the volume of cases supervised and medical facilitiesadditional neurologists are added to the internal team.

Bringing the Professional Component of IONM in-house generates a value-addednumber of positives for Assure. First, we will be able to oversee quality of service for providing remote neurology services. This commitment to quality supports our efforts to sign new in-network agreements with insurance payors and facility-wide agreements with hospitals. Second, by bringing the remote neurology function in-house, we are able to significantly reduce cost of delivery, allowing the Company to improve our profitability on every case we perform. Our objective is to significantly reduce the cost of delivery for remote neurology services going forward. Additional scale will serve as a catalyst for margin expansion in the future. Third, for most of the cases we perform, remote neurology services represent the creation of a new revenue stream. Fourth, providing remote neurology services for IONM creates opportunities in adjacent markets where similar remote neurology services are utilized. The shift to providing remote neurology services ourselves was a natural progression of the business. We have established the platform including:and maintained patient scheduling, billingvolume, insourcing remote neurology was simply a matter of replacing contractors with Assure supervising practitioners to service this volume. The long-term result will be increased margins, a new revenue stream and collections, physician relationship managementimproved cash receipts from commercial payors.  

Collectively, support from Assure’s high quality Technical and patient advocacy services. High quality AssureProfessional IONM supportservices results in decreased hospital and surgeon liability, abbreviated patient stays, fewer readmissions, reduced hospital costs, enhanced overall patient satisfaction and the efficient achievement of better clinical outcomes.

As we transition to becoming a provider of remote neurology services, helpwe believe our expertise in IONM will assist us in entering adjacent markets including EEG, epilepsy, sleep study and stroke in which Assure supervising practitioners can also provide patient services.

In 2022, Assure provided IONM services for approximately 185 surgeons in approximately 115 hospitals and surgery centers. The Company operates in: Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Texas, Minnesota and Utah. Our continued geographic expansion initiatives, including facility-wide outsourcing agreements with medical facilities and hospital networks, coupled with the Company create an even higher standardsurgical vertical expansion efforts, extending the Company’s reach into remote neurology services and selective acquisitions are expected to generate substantial growth opportunities going forward. In the future, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds for the continuing development of service for surgeonsour business plan.

Clinical leadership, surgeon support and patients alike.patient care are Assure’s cornerstones. We make substantial ongoing investments in our training and development of clinical staff and have created a fellowship program to rigorously train new INPs to cost-effectively join the Assure team. In addition, it broadenswe have partnered with the internationally renowned Texas Back Institute on clinical research relating to IONM safety and efficacy. Isador Lieberman, M.D., director of the scoliosis and spine tumor program at the Texas Back Institute, is a member of Assure’s platform and greatly expands the Company’s margin potential by significantly reducing cost of delivery.

The top-line also benefits from Assure’s integrated offering, given that most remote neurology cases Assure performs itself establishbuild a new revenue stream. Assure technologists have created substantial managed case volume for the business that the Company’s physicians performingtelehealth remote neurology services company with exceptional capabilities in IONM and numerous adjacent markets while utilizing the same platform and employees. This will extend our reach and redefine our position in the industry. We are simply consuming.

The Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from revenues generated from its services, by utilizing a bank promissory note and line of credit, from the issuances of convertible debentures, other debentures, from government loan programs,debt facilities and from the sale of common stock.

Payment for services, revenue mix and seasonality

Over half of Assure’s patients commonly have commercial health insurance coverage (“Commercial Payor”) and we are compensated via their health insurance plan. Assure’s commercial insurance patients represent the significant majority of our revenue and profit margin. We produce separate bills for the Technical Component and the Professional Component of the IONM services we perform. The Company’s ability to maintainmajority of our commercial payors are billed out-of-network and we negotiate payment for each claim. The remainder of commercial payors utilize a contracted rate. The majority of contracted rates are via indirect agreements with third-party organizations or related entities of the carrying valuecommercial payor with a smaller portion in direct agreements with contracted rates.

We bill, collect, and retain 100% of its assetsthe revenue associated with the Technical Component of the services we provide. For the Professional Component, when the supervising practitioner is dependentan Assure employee or where we own 100% of the entity managing the procedure, the Company bills, collects and retains 100% of the revenue. In instances in which the Professional Component is provided via Managed Service Agreements (“MSAs”) with surgeons or through agreements with Professional Entities (“PEs”), we engage in a revenue share based on successfully marketing its services and maintaining future profitable operations, the outcomepercentage outlined in the underlying agreement.

COVID-19

Our business and results of operations have been, and continues to be, adversely affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic and related events and we expect its impact to continue. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in various markets and industries, including the healthcare industry. The volatility has had, and we anticipate it will continue to have, an adverse effect on our customers and on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and may result in an impairment of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, increased credit losses and impairments of investments in other companies. In particular, the healthcarehealth care industry hospitals and providers of elective procedures have been and may continuetends to be impacted by seasonality due to the nature of most benefit plans resetting on a calendar year basis. As patients utilize and reduce their remaining deductible throughout the year, Assure typically see an increase in volume throughout the year with the biggest impact coming during the fourth quarter. As a result, historically our annual revenues are overweighted in the fourth quarter.

Seasonality impacts our revenue mix for similar reasons. As patients with commercial insurance utilize and reduce their remaining deductible throughout the year, we typically see an increase in volume with the biggest impact coming in the fourth quarter. Historically, our revenue mix is relatively overweighted to patients with commercial insurance in the second half of the year and to patients with government insurance in the first half of the year.

COVID-19

Our commitment to the health, well-being and peace of mind of our employees and the people we serve remains our focus as the pandemic and/or other events beyond our control, and further volatility could have an additional negative impact on these industries, customers, and our business. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and, to a lesser extent, the impact on other industries, including automotive, electronics and real estate, increased fuel costs, U.S. restrictions on trade, and transitory inflation have impacted and mayenvironment evolves. We continue to impact theleverage our resources, expertise, data and actionable intelligence to assist customers, clients and care providers throughout this time.

The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid with continued uncertainty and a wide range of potential outcomes. We continue to actively manage our response and assess impacts to our financial conditions of our customersposition and the patients they serve. In addition, actions by United States federal, state and foreign governments to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, also had a significant adverse effect on the markets in which we conduct our businesses. COVID-19 poses the risk that our workforce, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting normal business activities for an extended period of time, including due to shutdowns or stay-at-home orders that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. We have implemented policies to allow our employees to work remotely as a result of the pandemic as we reviewed processes related to workplace safety, including social distancing and sanitation practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The COVID-19 pandemic could also cause delays in acquiring new customers and executing renewals and could also impact our business as consumer behavior changes in response to the pandemic.

Since the start of the second quarter of 2021, there has been increased availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19,operating results, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel, and government activities and functions, and we have experienced a gradual resumption of economic activitiesmitigate adverse developments in our industries. On the other hand, infection rates continue to fluctuate in various regions and new strains of the virus, including the Delta variant, remain a risk, which may give rise to implementation of restrictions in the geographic areas that we serve. In addition, there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including disruption of the supply chains, product shortages, increased delivery costs, increased governmental regulation, strains on healthcare systems, and delays in shipments, product development, technology launches and facility access.

We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, including legislation to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which was enacted in March 2020, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 which was enacted in March 2021. Although a significant portion of our anticipated revenue for 2021 is derived from fixed-fee and minimum-guarantee arrangements, primarily from large, well-capitalized customers which we

believe somewhat mitigates the risks to our business, our per-unit and variable-fee based revenue will continue to be susceptible to the volatility, supply chain disruptions, microchip shortages and potential market downturns induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The full extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic; the availability, distribution and effectiveness of vaccines; the spread of new variants of COVID-19; the continued and renewed imposition of protective public safety measures; the impact of COVID-19 on integration of acquisitions, expansion plans, implementation of telemedicine, restrictions on elective procedures, delays in payor remittance and increased regulations; and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for consumer products.  Although we are unable to predict the full impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we are actively managing our financial expenditures in response to continued uncertainty.business.

Revenue

Total revenues for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 were $8.5$1.6 million and $4.0$6.2 million, respectively, net of implicit price concessions. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, we recorded an allowance for implicit price concessions of nil$7.6 million and $4.6$1.1 million, respectively.  Gross revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, prior to the application of implicit price concessions, totaled $9.2 million and $7.3 million.  The increase in gross revenue is primarily related to an increase in

managed case volume of approximately 2,700 from nearly 3,200 in the second quarter 2021 to approximately 5,800 in the same period of 2022.  The increase in managed cases is primarily related to the acquisition of Sentry, completed during the second quarter of 2021, and expansion into remote neurology.  Gross revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was negatively impacted by implicit price concessions related to aged claims. Based on the Company’s historical experience, claims generally become uncollectible once they are aged greater than 24 months; as such, included in the Company’s $8.1 million allowance for implicit price concessions for the three months ended June 30, 2022, is an estimate of the likelihood that a portion of the Company’s accounts receivable may become uncollectible due to age. Management has recently designated a tactical team to specifically pursue these reserved claims. We expect results from these efforts in the second half of the year as we continue collection efforts for claims aged past 24 months. As a result, we anticipate that there will also be a bad debt charge in the third quarter of 2022; smaller than what we reported in the second quarter, but still a material impact.  

PatientTechnical and professional service fee revenue is recognized in the period in which IONM services are rendered, at net realizable amounts due from third party payors when collections are reasonably assured and can be estimated. The majority of the Company’s services are rendered on an out-of-network basis and billed to third partythird-party insurers. We recordestimate out-of-network technical and professional revenue (included in-Patient service fees, net) per case based upon our historical cash collection rates from private health insurance carriers. Our revenue estimation process for out-of-network revenue is based on the collection experience from insurance cases that are up to two yearsbetween 13-24 months old andas management believes the more recent collection experience of these receivables is more indicative of future per case collection rates.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, Assure managed approximately 5,800 cases compared to approximately 3,200 cases in the same period in the prior year, an 81% increase in managed case volume The Company recognizesincrease is primarily related to organic sales growth in new markets, the acquisition of Sentry during the second quarter of 2021, and the launch of remote neurology services during the second quarter of 2021.

Other revenue consists of revenue from hospital and surgery center customers and certain PEs, for which the Company does not have an ownership interest in,managed service arrangements on a contractual basis. Revenue from services rendered is recorded after services are rendered.rendered.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the number of neuromonitoring cases increased 81% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 which drove the costs of revenues increase. Cost of revenues consist primarily of third-party billing fees, the cost of our internal billing and collection department, internal and external collection costs, technologist and readersupervising practitioner wages, third-party reader and collectionsupervising practitioner fees, and medical supplies. Technologist and supervising practitioner wages and medical supplies vary with the number of neuromonitoring cases. The cost of our internal billing and collection department increased as we have ramped up this departmentincreased headcount to align with expected growth in volume and as the number of cases they are responsible for invoicing increases.

We believe that our working capital balance and our estimated cash flows from operations during 2022 is expected support our operating activities and our obligations for the next 12 months. However, if we pursue our plan of continued growth our existing working capital will not be sufficient and we may need to seek equity or debt financing.

Financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms depending on market conditions at the time we seek financing.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Application of GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and within this MD&A. We consider our most important accounting policies that require significant estimates and management judgment to be those policies with respect to revenue, accounts receivable, stock based compensation, acquired intangible assets, goodwill, and income taxes, which are discussed below. Our other significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation” and Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2021.14, 2022.

We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In general, our estimates are based on historical experience, evaluation of current trends, information from third-party professionals and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the known facts and circumstances. Estimates can require a significant amount of judgment and a different set of assumptions could result in material changes to our reported results.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation or of any proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities that are, or would be, likely to have a material adverse effect upon us or our operations, taken as a whole.

In April 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) issued Civil Investigative Demands which seek information with respect to a civil investigation under the Anti-kickback Statute and the False Claims Act.  We voluntarily contacted the DOJ offering to provide any materials needed in the investigation and to answer any questions.  While our policy during the relevant time was to not seek payments from federal health care programs, the third-party billing company we used at that time submitted some claims to Medicare Advantage plans administered by commercial insurance companies.  We have worked diligently to ensure that payments from Medicare Advantage plans have been returned to the commercial insurance companies and we believe we have returned substantially all such payments that we have discovered to date, totaling approximately $450,000.  The DOJ has not made any allegations in the investigation, and we are currently unable to predict the eventual scope, ultimate timing, or outcome of this investigation. As a result, we are unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss, if any, arising from this investigation.
