REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Audit Committee of
Veneto Holdings, LLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Veneto Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”); this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Veneto Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with GAAP.
Emphasis of Matters
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company sold substantially all of its operating assets subsequent to September 30, 2018. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Goodwill
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for goodwill in the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and the year ended December 31, 2017, due to unwinding the effects of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-02,Accounting for Goodwill, a Consensus of the Private Company Councilas the Company was acquired by a public entity and cannot amortize goodwill. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company committed to a plan to sell substantially all of its assets during 2018. As such the Company has reclassified the assets and liabilities as held for sale and reflected related operations as discontinued operations. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018, AND DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND YEAR ENDED 2017
(Dollars in thousands)
1. ORGANIZATION
From inception through March 16, 2017, Medoc Health Services & Affiliates (“Medoc”) represented the combination of Medoc Health Services, LLC (MHS) formed on October 24, 2014, Messorio Healthcare Services, LLC (Messorio) formed on April 27, 2015, Buccella Biomedical, LP (Buccella) formed on March 10, 2016, MD 20/20 Health Services, LP (MD 20/20) formed on September 3, 2015, and Molise Health Sciences, LLC (Molise) formed on January 23, 2017. MHS and Buccella hold investments in and manage managed services organizations (each an “MSO”). Messorio owns and operates ancillary health care service providers, primarily pharmacies and laboratories in Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona. MD 20/20 provides management, administrative, and marketing services with respect to physicians that are not affiliated with a MHS MSO. Molise owns and operates a diagnostic laboratory in Arizona.
On March 16, 2017 the membership interests of MHS, Messorio, Buccella, MD 20/20, and Molise were contributed by their members to Veneto Holdings, LLC (“Veneto” or the “Company”), which was formed on December 10, 2015. As of March 16, 2017, Veneto Holdings, LLC represents the consolidation of each of the aforementioned entities.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Going Concern—The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company sold substantially all of its operating assets and 100% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is included within discontinued operations. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has no source of operating income. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are being issued. Management has no plan at this time to alleviate these adverse conditions, of which could result in the discontinuance of operations.
Business—Veneto is a Master managed services organization engaged in the business of providing, directly or through affiliates, certain management, administrative, and marketing services to a network of ancillary health care service providers including specialty pharmacies, diagnostic laboratories, diagnostic imaging centers, and biologic companies. Through this network, Veneto is able to provide physicians with a portfolio of services designed to improve patient care, practice productivity, and clinical efficiency. The Company began operations in 2015 when the first Veneto-managed MSO was formed.
9 |
Veneto, through its wholly owned subsidiary MHS, entered into contractual relationships with ancillary service providers, where Medoc performed certain management, administrative and marketing services on behalf of the ancillary service provider (each a “VSA”) in exchange for service fees. From inception to March 2016, Medoc had VSAs with specialty pharmacies, laboratories, diagnostic imaging providers, and biologic companies, with the vast majority of revenue coming from the VSAs with specialty pharmacies. In November 2015, the Company transitioned from contractual relationships with non-owned or “contracted” pharmacies and laboratories to owned pharmacies and laboratories. Each MSO contracts directly with Medoc to provide a portion of the services that Medoc has agreed to provide to each ancillary service vendor under a VSA. Each MSO is then entitled to a portion of the revenues collected by Medoc for the portion of services that the MSO performs. Assuming that the MSO has available cash (as defined), each MSO makes a monthly distribution of profits to each MSO member based on the member’s ownership percentage.
Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Veneto, MHS, Messorio, Buccella, MD 20/20, Molise, and each of their subsidiaries. All material balances and transactions between these entities have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company continually evaluates its investments to determine if they represent variable interests in a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in a VIE, the Company then evaluates if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the Company has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb benefits from or losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates a VIE if it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. While the individual MSOs have more diverse ownership, the outside (non- common) ownership does not have the ability to direct the activities of the entity. The outside ownership does not have the ability to determine the timing or amount of distributions. As a result, these VIEs are consolidated and the non-controlling interest presented represents the physician ownership. The Company consolidates entities in which it or its wholly owned subsidiary is the general partner or managing member and the limited partners or members, respectively, do not have substantive participating rights to overcome the Company’s control. These entities’ intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated through consolidation.
Revenue Recognition—Revenue is recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue from the provision of pharmacy services is recognized when the prescription is dispensed (picked up by the patient or shipped to the patient using common carrier). At the time of dispensing each pharmacy has a contract with the insurance payor (item (i)); the insurance payor has accepted the claim for reimbursement from the pharmacy and informed the pharmacy how much will be paid for the prescription (item (iii)); the insurance payor is now legally obligated to make payment on the accepted claim within a given period proscribed by statute (item (iv)); and, the prescription has been taken from the pharmacy inventory, placed into an individually labeled container specific to the patient, and the patient is able to take possession of the prescription (item (ii)). Shipment to or pick up by the patient is the first time that all criteria for revenue recognition have been met.
10 |
Revenue from the provision of laboratory services is recognized upon the completion of accessions (the requested laboratory test has been performed and the report has been issued to the requesting physician). After the test has been performed and reported, the insurance company and/or patient has an obligation to pay for medically necessary laboratory tests (items (i) and (ii)). Unlike the pharmacy services model, laboratory services are provided prior to insurance company approval; as a result, the seller’s price to buyer is not known until payment is provided (items (iii) and (iv). Based on historical collections, the Company estimates the expected revenues associated with similar tests and recognizes the revenue when testing results have been provided.
Provisions for estimated sales returns and uncollectible accounts are recorded in the period in which the related sales are recognized based on historical and anticipated rates.
The Company determines whether it is the principal or agent for its retail pharmacy contract services on a contract by contract basis. In the majority of its contracts, the Company has determined it is the principal due to it: (i) being the primary obligor in the arrangement, (ii) having latitude in changing the product or performing part of the service, (iii) having discretion in supplier selection, (iv) having involvement in the determination of product or service specifications, and (v) having credit risk. The Company’s obligations under its client contracts for which revenues are reported using the gross method are separate and distinct from its obligations to the third-party pharmacies included in its retail pharmacy network contracts. Pursuant to these contracts, the Company is contractually required to pay the third-party pharmacies in its retail pharmacy network for products sold, regardless of whether the Company is paid by its clients. The Company’s responsibilities under its client contracts typically include validating eligibility and coverage levels, communicating the prescription price and the co-payments due to the third-party retail pharmacy, identifying possible adverse drug interactions for the pharmacist to address with the prescriber prior to dispensing, suggesting generic alternatives where clinically appropriate and approving the prescription for dispensing. Although the Company does not have credit risk with respect to Retail Co-Payments or inventory risk related to retail network claims, management believes that all of the other applicable indicators of gross revenue reporting are present. For contracts under which the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized using the net method. All revenues have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Cost of Goods Sold—Costs and directly related expenses to sell the Company’s products and services are recorded as cost of goods sold when the related revenue is recognized. The Company records shipping and handling costs related to delivery of products to customers within cost of goods sold. All cost of goods sold have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Income Taxes—The Company is not generally a taxable entity for income tax purposes, with the exception of Texas franchise tax. Other income taxes are generally borne by individual members. Net income for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income of members as a result of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and the taxable income allocation requirements under the various membership agreements. The aggregated difference in the basis of our net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined because information regarding each member’s tax attributes in us is not available to us. The years 2015 through 2017 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities.
11 |
Under the new centralized partnership audit rules effective for tax years beginning after 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) assesses and collects underpayments of tax from the partnership instead of from each partner. The partnership may be able to pass the adjustments through to its partners by making a push-out election or, if eligible, by electing out of the centralized partnership audit rules.
The collection of tax from the partnership is only an administrative convenience for the IRS to collect any underpayment of income taxes including interest and penalties. Income taxes on partnership income, regardless of who pays the tax or when the tax is paid, is attributed to the partners. Any payment made by the partnership as a result of an IRS examination will be treated as a distribution from the partnership to the partners in the financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States of America, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. All of the amounts reported as cash on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets represent cash on deposit, which is available on demand to the Company.
Restricted Cash—Restricted cash is stated at cost. The Company had cash held in a specified cash collateral account which was required upon entrance into the lease of its corporate offices.
Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and estimated returns. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recognized for estimated losses resulting from customers’ inability to meet payment obligations. Management specifically analyzes account receivables and historical bad debt; customer concentrations; customer creditworthiness; past due balances; current economic trends; and changes in customer payment terms when determining allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances for estimated returns are recognized for sales that have occurred, but which are expected to result in returned products from patients based upon their determination that they no longer need the medication. Additional allowances may be required in future periods if financial positions of customers deteriorate, reducing their ability to meet payment obligations. All accounts receivable have been reclassified to assets held for sale for the periods presented.
Inventories—Inventories, which consist of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost, determined principally under the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. Inventories include the cost of pharmaceuticals, reagents, and consumables. Obsolete or excess inventories are reflected at their estimated realizable values. Net realizable value is the estimated sales revenue for a normal period of activity less expected selling costs. All inventories have been reclassified to assets held for sale for the periods presented.
Allowances for excess and obsolete inventory are recognized for excess amounts, obsolescence and declines in net realizable value below cost. Estimation and judgment are required in determining the value of the allowance for excess and obsolete inventory at each statement of financial position date. Management specifically analyzes estimates of future demand for products when determining allowances for excess and obsolete inventory. Changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventory in future periods.
Property and Equipment—Property, equipment and improvements to leased premises are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or when applicable, the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Major renewals or
12 |
replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows:
Leasehold improvements | The shorter of the expected useful life of the improvement or the lease term | |
Computers and technological assets | 3–5 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 5 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
Assets acquired through finance lease arrangements or long-term rental arrangements that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards associated with ownership of the asset to the Company (as lessee) are capitalized.
Depreciation is accounted for in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expense, depending on the use of the underlying assets. Depreciation expense recorded from continuing operations for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, was approximately $315 and $363, respectively. Depreciation expense recorded from discontinued operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, was approximately $223 and $225, respectively.
In addition, gains (losses) from disposals of property and equipment are accounted for in the corresponding cost line items in the Consolidated Statement of Income depending on where in the Consolidated Statement of Income the underlying asset would normally be expensed (i.e., Cost of Goods Sold or Selling, General and Administrative Expenses). There were no losses from disposals of assets recorded in continuing operations for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017. Losses from disposals of assets recorded in discontinued operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, were $0 and $126, respectively.
Intangible Assets—Intangible assets consist of contract intangibles and licenses associated with business acquisitions as well as purchased software used in the business and are recorded in accordance with ASC 805Business Combinations. The Company amortizes all intangibles associated with business acquisitions, as well as licenses, straight- line over a three-year period. Software used in the business is amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.
Contract intangibles are tested for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value of the related asset group may not be recoverable. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the Company calculates the total undiscounted expected cash flows. If the total undiscounted expected cash flows for the asset group exceeds the carrying value of the asset group, then no further assessment is necessary. If the total undiscounted cash flows for the asset group is less than the carrying value of the related asset group, then the fair value of the asset group is determined, and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the entity exceeds its fair value. Long-lived intangible impairment losses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, were $699 and $15, respectively, and have been included in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Amortization expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, was approximately $910 and $1,267, respectively.
13 |
Amortization of intangible assets has been reflected in amortization within Selling, General and Administrative Expense in the income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expected future amortization of intangible assets is $0 for the three-month period ending December 31, 2018, and the years ended 2019 and 2020 as all long-lived intangible assets subject to amortization are included in assets held for sale.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The carrying value of property and equipment is assessed for recoverability by management whenever events or change in circumstances indicate an impairment may exist based on analysis of future undiscounted expected cash flows from the asset or asset group. Impairment losses are accounted for in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under Impairment of Long-lived Assets. No significant impairment losses associated with property and equipment were recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017.
Notes Receivable from Related Parties—Notes receivable from related parties are stated at historical cost, net of any related amortization and/or impairment, and consist of amounts which are of continuing benefit to the Company.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amount of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Hierarchy—The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:
• | Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
• | Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument. |
• | Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of inputs market participants could use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments—As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due to related parties, notes receivable from related parties, accounts payable, notes payable, equipment lease financing liability, and contingent consideration liability. Due to the nature of these instruments, the Company’s carrying value approximates fair value. There were no outstanding derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.
Contingent Consideration—The Company from time to time includes in its acquisition purchase agreements, a provision that the seller is entitled to a portion of future net profitsfrom the entity over a specified period.

3. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CHANGES
IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, the Company changed its accounting policies related to its accounting for goodwill and business combinations. This change was made in contemplation of a potential purchase of the Company by an SEC registrant, which would necessitate this change. These accounting policy changes resulted in the reversal of amortization expense previously recorded on goodwill under ASU 2014- 02, Accounting for Goodwill, a consensus of the Private Company Council, and resulted in the Company recognizing contract intangible assets associated with its acquisitions in purchase accounting under the provisions of ASC 805 which unwound the accounting previously applied under ASU 2014-18, Accounting for Identifiable Assets in a Business Combination.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On May 2, 2017, the Company learned that it is the subject of a federal grand jury investigation into allegations concerning (i) compounding pharmacy practices and payments made to physician investors with federal health care laws and regulations, and (ii) a business interruption insurance claim made following the destruction of a pharmacy in December of 2015. On May 9, 2018, the government executed a search warrant on the Company’s offices located at 3030 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas, 75234. Subsequent to the execution of the search warrant, the government served grand jury subpoenas on several of the Company’s pharmacies. The Company has assured the government that it will cooperate with the government’s investigation, that it has been preserving, and will continue to preserve, a wide range of documents and electronic evidence, and that it looks forward to discussing the government’s concerns. As this matter is in its early stages, the Company does not have the ability to determine whether a loss associated with this matter is probable, nor would a loss be estimable. As such, no liability has been accrued as of September 30, 2018.
24 |
The Company is involved in various pending and threatened actions as well as regulatory investigations arising from its normal business operations. After consultations with legal counsel, since these actions are in the early stages, management cannot estimate the impact that these matters will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 10, 2019, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available for issuance, and concluded that there were no events or transactions that needed to be disclosed other than 1) during the third quarter, the Company determined that it had failed to achieve the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio necessitated by its loan agreement with its lender and notified the lender of this breach. The Company is currently in discussion with the bank concerning potential cures as well as a potential forbearance agreement; 2) the Company closed three of its pharmacy locations in order to reduce selling, general and administrative costs associated with those pharmacies as a result of a decline in revenues; and, 3) on November 1, 2018 the Company restructured its MSO model by extinguishing the existing MSOs and allowing the physician investors to either transfer their existing investment to a new single MSO or sell back their existing investment to the Company for a contractually determined buyout figure.
Additionally, on October 4, 2018, the Company sold the bulk of its pharmacy and laboratory operations to Nugenerex Distribution Solutions 2, LLC (NDS), a third party. On November 2, 2018, the Company sold the remainder of its operational assets as well as the MSO to the same third party. Upon completion of the second acquisition the Company effectively no longer has operations.
In April 2019 the Company and certain affiliated parties were named as defendants in litigation brought by Compass Bank (the “Compass Bank Matter”) asserting the alleged breach of a loan agreement between the Company, certain of its affiliates, and Compass Bank. The Company and affiliated parties’ obligations under the loan agreement have been assumed by NDS and its parent, Generex Biotechnology Corporation, in connection with the sale of Company assets to those entities as noted above. On this basis, the Company does not believe that it has any liability to Compass Bank. The Company has retained counsel. The Company and its corporate affiliates have filed a general denial to the petition.
