[1] | The Southern California Regional Gamma Knife Center | | | | | | | |
|
During 2007, the Company managed the formation of the Southern California Regional Gamma Knife Center at San Antonio Community Hospital (“SACH”) in Upland, California. The Company participates in the ownership and operation of the center through USNC. Corona Gamma Knife, LLC (“CGK”) is party to a 14-year agreement with SACH to renovate space in the hospital and install and operate a Leksell PERFEXION gamma knife. CGK leased the gamma knife from NeuroPartners LLC, which holds the gamma knife equipment. In addition to returns on its ownership interests, USNC expects to receive fees for management services relating to the facility. |
|
USNC is a 20% owner of NeuroPartners LLC. USNC also owned initially 27% of CGK, but increased its ownership to 44% during 2011 to accommodate a member who desired to transfer his interest. Subsequently, in the first quarter of 2012, USNC sold a portion of its ownership to a new member, resulting in a decrease in its ownership in CGK to 39%. |
|
Construction of the SACH gamma knife center was completed in December 2008 and the first patient was treated in January 2009. The project has been funded principally by outside investors. While the Company has led the effort in organizing the business and overseeing the development and operation of the SACH center, its investment to date in the SACH center has been minimal. The Company’s share of cumulative losses associated with its investment in NeuroPartners LLC and CGK has exceeded its investment. Due to the outstanding loans made to NeuroPartners LLC and CGK, NeuroPartners LLC and CGK are considered to be variable interest entities of the Company. However, as the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of NeuroPartners LLC and CGK, since it does not have the power to direct the operating activities that most significantly affect NeuroPartners LLC’s and CGK’s economic performance; certain disclosures are required rather than consolidation. During 2013, the Company absorbed losses against the total outstanding receivables of $27,000 from NeuroPartners LLC and CGK due to these losses. Amounts due from NeuroPartners LLC and CGK included in due from related parties total $0 and $3,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |

[2] | Florida Oncology Partners | | | | | | | |
|
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company participated in the formation of Florida Oncology Partners, LLC (“FOP”) and Florida Oncology Partners RE, LLC (“FOPRE”), which operates a cancer center located in West Kendall (Miami), Florida. The center diagnoses and treats patients utilizing a Varian Rapid Arc linear accelerator and a GE CT scanner. USNC originally invested $200,000 for 20% ownership interest in FOP and FOPRE. The remaining 80% is owned by other outside investors. The center opened and treated its first patient in May 2011. During 2012 and 2013, FOP made several distributions that reduced the Company’s investment significantly.

[3] | Boca Oncology Partners | | | | | | | |
|
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company participated in the formation of Boca Oncology Partners, LLC (“BOP”), for the purpose of owning and operating a cancer center in Boca Raton, Florida. In June 2011, Boca Oncology Partners RE, LLC (“BOPRE”), an affiliated entity, purchased a 20% interest in Boca West IMP, LLC (Boca West IMP), owner of a medical office building in West Boca, Florida in which BOP operates. BOP occupies approximately 6,000 square feet of the 32,000 square foot building. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, USNC invested $225,000 initially and had a 22.5% interest in BOP and BOPRE. In January 2012, an additional investor purchased 50% of the partnership reducing the Company’s ownership to 11.25%. The Company loaned the proceeds of $56,250 back to BOP as a 5 year note at 7% interest. The remaining 88.75% is owned by other outside investors. In June 2012, BOPRE purchased an additional 3.75% of Boca West IMP from another investor bringing its total interest to 23.75%. BOPRE accounts for this investment under the cost method since it does not exercise significant influence over Boca West, IMP. Then the members of BOPRE sold 31.5% of their interests in BOPRE to a new investor. The proceeds of $28,000 were loaned to BOP and USNC’s investment in BOPRE was reduced to 15.4%. |
|
Although the Company reduced its investment to 11.25% of BOP and 15.4% of BOPRE, the Company continues to account for these investments under the equity method due to its participation in the management of the administration and accounting functions of BOP and BOPRE. Due to the outstanding loans made to BOP, BOP is considered to be a variable interest entity of the Company. However, as the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of BOP, since it does not have the power to direct the operating activities that most significantly affect BOP’s economic performance; certain disclosures are required rather than consolidation. The center opened in August 2012. |
|
Since June 2012, the Company’s share of cumulative losses associated with its investment in BOP has exceeded its investment. During 2013, the Company absorbed losses against $57,000 of outstanding receivables from BOP. Amounts due from BOP and BOPRE included in due from related parties total $200,000 and $207,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s recorded investment in BOPRE is $134,000 and $112,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. |
|
In February 2014, the Company and other members sold their interests in BOP (Note K). |
