NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Business
Overview
CarePayment Technologies, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “CarePayment,” or the “Company”) was incorporated as an Oregon corporation in 1991. From inception until September 28, 2007, we manufactured custom cable assemblies and mechanical assemblies for the medical and commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) markets. We were experiencing considerable competition by late 2006 as our customers aggressively outsourced competing products from offshore suppliers. In the first quarter of 2007, a customer that accounted for over 30% of our revenues experienced a recall of one of its major products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As a result the customer cancelled its orders with us, leaving us with large amounts of inventory on hand and significantly reduced revenue.
On May 31, 2007 we informed our three secured creditors, BFI Business Finance, VenCore Solution, LLC and MH Financial Associates, LLC ("MH Financial"), that we were unable to continue business operations due to continuing operating losses and a lack of working capital. At that time we voluntarily surrendered our assets to these secured creditors, following which we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Moore Electronics, Inc. ("Moore"), operated for the benefit of the secured creditors until September 2007, when we ceased manufacturing operations and became a shell company. MH Financial was, at that time, and currently is, an affiliate of ours due to its ownership of shares of our capital stock.
Following September 2007 and continuing until December 31, 2009, we had no operations. Our Board of Directors, however, determined to maintain us as a shell company to seek opportunities to acquire a business or assets sufficient to operate a business. To help facilitate our search for suitable business acquisition opportunities, among other goals, on June 27, 2008 we entered into an advisory services agreement with Aequitas Capital Management, Inc. (“Aequitas”) to provide us with strategy development, strategic planning, marketing, corporate development and other advisory services. In exchange for the services to be provided by Aequitas under that agreement, we issued to Aequitas warrants to purchase 106,667 shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
Effective at the end of December 2009, we acquired certain assets and rights that enabled us to begin building a business that services accounts receivable for other parties. The assets and rights we acquired had been previously developed by Aequitas and its affiliate, CarePayment, LLC, under the CarePayment® brand for servicing accounts receivable generated by hospitals in connection with providing health care services to their patients. The assets and rights we acquired included the exclusive right to administer, service and collect patient accounts receivables generated by hospitals and purchased by CarePayment, LLC or its affiliates, and a proprietary software product that is used to manage the servicing. Typically CarePayment, LLC or one of its affiliates purchase patient accounts receivable from hospitals and then we administer, service and collect them on behalf of CarePayment, LLC for a fee. Although we intend to grow our business to include servicing of accounts receivable on behalf of other parties, currently CarePayment, LLC is our only customer.
To facilitate building the business, on December 30, 2009 we, Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC formed an Oregon limited liability company, CP Technologies LLC ("CP Technologies"). We contributed shares of our newly authorized Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred") and warrants to purchase shares of our Class B Common Stock to CP Technologies. Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC contributed to CP Technologies the CarePayment® assets and rights described in the foregoing paragraph. CP Technologies then distributed the shares of Series D Preferred to Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC, and the warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common to CarePayment, LLC, to redeem all but half of one membership unit (a "Unit") held by each of them. Following these transactions, we own 99% of CP Technologies, and Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC each own 0.5% of CP Technologies as of December 31, 2009.
The Receivables Servicing Business
On January 1, 2010 and as a result of the transactions described above, CP Technologies began building a business to service hospital patient receivables for an affiliate of the Company, CarePayment, LLC.
Generally, a majority of a hospital's accounts receivable are paid by medical insurance, Medicare and Medicaid. The balance of accounts receivable due directly from the patient is not always a priority for many hospitals, due primarily to the effort and expense required to collect those balances from individuals. CarePayment, LLC, acting alone or through its affiliates, purchases patient receivables from hospitals. CP Technologies administers, services and collects the receivables; CarePayment, LLC maintains ownership of the receivables.
A patient whose health care receivable is acquired by CarePayment, LLC becomes a CarePayment® finance card customer and is issued a CarePayment® card, which has an initial outstanding balance equal to the receivable purchased by CarePayment, LLC. Balances due on the CarePayment® card are generally payable over 25 months with no interest. From the customer's point of view, the CarePayment® card functions much like a credit card even though CP Technologies advances no credit to the customer. In addition to servicing the receivables, CP Technologies also analyzes potential receivable acquisitions for CarePayment, LLC and recommends a course of action when it determines that collection efforts for existing receivables are no longer effective.
In exchange for its services, CP Technologies receives origination fees at the time CarePayment, LLC purchases and delivers receivables to CP Technologies for servicing, a monthly servicing fee based on the total principal amount of receivables being serviced, and a quarterly fee based upon a percentage of CarePayment, LLC's quarterly net income. CP Technologies’ servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC includes additional compensation during the first six months of 2010 to cover the Company’s start up costs as it began building a receivables servicing business. This compensation was equal to the Company's actual monthly losses for the first quarter of 2010 and an amount equal to 50% of actual monthly losses for the second quarter of 2010. The Company received $1,241,912 of such compensation from CarePayment, LLC in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
CP Technologies contracts with various vendors to service the CarePayment® finance card product, send customer statements, accept payments, and transmit all transaction history back to CP Technologies. Since CP Technologies is responsible for the CarePayment® finance card's compliance with various laws and regulations relating to consumer credit, these vendors are selected for their specific expertise in such areas.
On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Vitality Financial, Inc. (“Vitality”) pursuant to which Vitality became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Vitality received, collectively, 97,500 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in consideration for all the outstanding stock of Vitality.
Vitality purchases consumer health care receivables from hospitals for patients’ uninsured portion of their hospital bill on a non-recourse basis. Vitality has developed a proprietary healthcare credit scoring process to evaluate healthcare non-recourse loans prior to purchase. Upon credit approval, customer’s are offered a line of credit. When the customer accepts the terms of the agreement, the Company purchases the customers hospital receivable balance at a discount. Interest rates charged to the consumer on these loans are generally less than traditional credit card rates. Payment terms are generally up to 24 months.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation:
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of CarePayment and in the opinion of management include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and operating results for the periods indicated. The financial position and operating results include Vitality’s results of operations beginning July 30, 2010; comparable periods for 2009 do not include Vitality’s results of operations. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2010.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed on March 31, 2010.
Estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CarePayment, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Moore and Vitality, and its 99% owned subsidiary, CP Technologies LLC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Concentration of credit risk:
Loans receivable — The loans receivable are with consumers who may be affected by the current economic environment. The Company believes it has adequately provided for potential credit losses.
Revenue from one source — The Company currently generates substantially all its revenue through one servicing agreement with a related party.
Cash and investments — The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts; at times, the balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and include investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits.
Loans receivable and provision for credit losses:
The Company purchases consumer healthcare receivables at a discount from hospitals, which are recorded as loans receivable. The discounted price ranges from 12% to 60% of face value depending on the credit worthiness of the consumer. The terms of the receivable agreements at September 30, 2010 range from 15 to 19 months. There were no loans receivable at December 31, 2009.
Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less a provision for credit losses. Discounts are recorded as deferred revenue; deferred revenue is recognized as revenue over the estimated life of each loan receivable using the interest method.
The provision for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the Company’s outstanding loans. The amount of the provision is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loans, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired receivables, economic conditions and other inherent risks.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment is comprised of servicing software and computer equipment which is stated at original estimated fair value and software stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization and depreciation. Amortization and depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of the software and the software licenses is three years and the estimated useful life of used computer equipment is two years. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Amortization and depreciation expense was $42,650 and $125,983 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Intangible assets:
Servicing rights:
Servicing rights represent the fair value of the identifiable intangible asset associated with the acquisition of certain business assets on December 31, 2009. Effective January 1, 2010, the cost associated with this asset is being amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 25 years, which is based on the term of the servicing agreement that expires in 2034.
Other intangible assets:
Intangible assets acquired as part of the Vitality acquisition include loan processing software, a proprietary credit scoring algorithm and customers lists which are being amortized over the estimated useful lives of 1.5 to 5 years. Additionally the lender’s licenses acquired are considered to have an indefinite life and are not subject to amortization. See Note 3.
Amortization expense was $100,425 and $291,425 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded at historical cost and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. We did not recognize impairment losses on goodwill for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Revenue recognition:
Receivable servicing:
The Company recognizes revenue in conjunction with a servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC. The Company receives a servicing fee equal to 5% annually of total funded receivables being serviced and an origination fee equal to 6% of the original balance of newly generated funded receivables. The servicing agreement also provides that the Company receives 25% of CarePayment, LLC’s quarterly net income, adjusted for certain items. The Company recognizes revenue related to this agreement, which is evidence of an arrangement, at the time the services are rendered; the servicing fee is recognized as revenue monthly at 1/12 of the annual percent of the funded receivables being serviced for the month; the origination fee is recognized as revenue at the time CarePayment, LLC funds its purchased receivables and the Company assumes the responsibility for servicing these receivables; the 25% of CarePayment, LLC’s net income is recognized as revenue in the quarter that CarePayment, LLC records the net income. The collectability of the revenue recognized from these related party transactions is considered reasonably assured.
Installation services:
The Company provides software implementation services to client hospitals on behalf of CarePayment, LLC. Implementation fees received from CarePayment, LLC are recognized as revenue when CarePayment, LLC accepts the implementation, which is at the time the hospital can successfully transmit data to CarePayment, LLC.
Loans receivable:
The Company purchases consumer healthcare receivables at a discount from hospitals. The discount is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet and is recognized as revenue over the estimated life of each receivable using the interest method. Interest income is not recognized on specific impaired receivables unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest income on these receivables is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.
Cost of revenue:
Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of compensation and benefit costs for servicing employees, costs associated with outsourcing billing, collections and payment processing services, amortization of servicing rights and servicing software and underwriting costs related to loans.
Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities that are determined based on the differences between the financial statement bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce a deferred tax asset to that portion of the deferred tax asset that is expected to more likely than not be realized.
The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively. No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions, or related interest or penalties as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Tax years that remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities are the years ended 2006 through 2009.
Stock-based compensation:
Stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line attribution method. Stock-based compensation for stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Warrants to purchase the Company’s stock:
The fair value of warrants to purchase the Company’s stock issued for services or in exchange for assets is estimated at the issue date using the Black-Scholes model.
Earnings (loss) per common share:
Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding during the period. Fully diluted EPS assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities determined using the treasury stock method. Dilutive loss per share does not consider the impact of potentially dilutive securities in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Comprehensive income (loss):
The Company has no components of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and, accordingly, no statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) is included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Operating segments and reporting Units:
The Company operates as a single business segment and reporting unit.
Recently adopted accounting standards:
In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on subsequent events. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and the Company adopted these new requirements.
Recently issued accounting standards:
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
3. Acquisition of Vitality Financial, Inc.
On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Vitality pursuant to which Vitality became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Vitality received, collectively, 97,500 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in consideration for all the outstanding stock of Vitality. See Note 7.
Vitality purchases consumer health care receivables from hospitals for patients’ uninsured portion of their hospital bill on a non-recourse basis. Vitality has developed a proprietary credit scoring process to evaluate healthcare non-recourse loans prior to purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the Company expects to use Vitality’s assembled workforce expertise, proprietary healthcare credit scoring system, and customer contacts to expand into the non-recourse financing market.
The goodwill of $13,335 arising from the acquisition consists primarily of the assembled workforce with non-recourse healthcare loan experience.
None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarized the consideration paid for Vitality and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date:
Consideration | | | |
Series E Preferred Stock, 97,500 shares. See Note 7. (a) | | $ | 136,500 | |
Fair value of total consideration transferred | | $ | 136,500 | |
| | | | |
Recognized amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed | | | | |
Cash | | $ | 100,842 | |
Loans receivable (b) | | | 67,516 | |
Prepaid expense | | | 2,232 | |
Equipment | | | 4,600 | |
Identifiable intangible assets (c) | | | 71,950 | |
Financial liabilities | | | (123,975 | ) |
Total identifiable net assets | | | 123,165 | |
Goodwill | | | 13,335 | |
| | $ | 136,500 | |
| (a) | The fair value of the 97,500 shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued as consideration for all of Vitality’s outstanding stock was determined on the basis of the closing market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the most recent date with a market trade prior to the acquisition date, as the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into Class A Common Stock eighteen months after issuance and is mandatorily convertible into Class A Common Stock thirty six months after issuance, in each case at a defined conversion rate. The conversion rate on the acquisition date was ten shares of Class A Common Stock for each share of Series E Preferred Stock. See Note 7. |
| (b) | The gross loan balances due under the contracts are $70,716, of which $3,200 is expected to be uncollectible. |
| (c) | Identifiable intangible assets include a software program to manage the loans receivable ($7,250), proprietary credit scoring algorithm for evaluating non-recourse loans ($20,000), customer lists ($34,700) and lenders license ($10,000). |
The amounts of Vitality’s revenue and losses included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, and the revenue and losses of the combined entity had the acquisition date been January 1, 2010, or January 1, 2009, are:
| | Revenue | | | Losses | |
Actual from July 30, 2010 through September 30, 2010 | | $ | 5,426 | | | $ | (37,577 | ) |
Supplemental pro forma from January 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 | | $ | 4,464,717 | | | $ | (1,604,823 | ) |
Supplemental pro forma from January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009 | | $ | 1,533 | | | $ | (935,430 | ) |
4. Related Party Note Receivable
On April 15, 2010, the Company sold 200,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”) to Aequitas CarePayment Founders Fund, LLC (“Founders Fund”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Company received a promissory note from Founders Fund for $2,000,000 which bears interest at 5% per annum and was due April 15, 2011. See Notes 6 and 7. As of September 30, 2010, Founders Fund had paid the total principal and interest balances due. The Company recorded interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $13,675 and $33,093, respectively for this Note.
5. Notes Payable
A summary of the Company's notes payable as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is as follows:
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
MH Financial Associates, LLC | | $ | 577,743 | | | $ | 977,743 | |
Aequitas Capital Management, Inc. | | | — | | | | 294,190 | |
Other | | | 10,532 | | | | 10,532 | |
Total notes payable | | | 588,275 | | | | 1,282,465 | |
Current maturities | | | — | | | | (294,190 | ) |
Notes payable, less current maturities | | $ | 588,275 | | | $ | 988,275 | |
On June 27, 2008, the Company refinanced a promissory note payable to MH Financial Associates by issuing a note payable (the “Note”) in the amount of $977,743. The loan amount included $477,743 that was owed to MH Financial as of June 27, 2008 and an additional loan of up to $500,000. The Company was advanced $200,000 on June 27, 2008, $100,000 on December 31, 2008, $100,000 on February 27, 2009, and $100,000 on November 6, 2009. Effective as of the date of this refinance, interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the loan at a rate of 20% per annum. The original due date of the Note was December 27, 2008 and, as a condition of the December 31, 2008 advance, the due date was extended to December 31, 2009. On December 31, 2009, the Company was granted a note extension to December 31, 2011, at which time all unpaid interest and principal are due. In addition, the interest rate on the principal amount outstanding under the Note decreases from 20% to 8% per annum after the Company makes principal payments totaling $400,000. As of September 2010, the Company had made a total of $400,000 in principal payments; and as such the interest rate on the outstanding balance of the Note has decreased to 8% per annum. The Note continues to be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
6. Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 30, 2009, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred in connection with the transactions described in Note 1. On April 15, 2010, the Company sold 200,000 shares of Series D Preferred to Founders Fund for a purchase price of $10.00 per share pursuant to a note receivable in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 and, for no additional consideration, the Company issued a warrant to Founders Fund to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. See Notes 4 and 7.
Holders of the Series D Preferred receive a preferred dividend of $0.50 per share per annum, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, and a liquidation preference of $10 per share, plus cumulative unpaid dividends. The Company may redeem all of the Series D Preferred at any time upon 30 days prior written notice, and is required to redeem all of the Series D Preferred in January 2013 at a purchase price equal to the liquidation preference in effect on January 1, 2013. If the Company is unable to redeem the Series D Preferred with cash or other immediately available funds for any reason, the holders of Series D Preferred will have the right to exchange all shares of Series D Preferred for an aggregate 99% ownership interest in CP Technologies.
The fair value of the Series D Preferred was determined using a dividend discount model assuming a 9% discount rate and that the cumulative dividends of $0.50 per share will be accrued and received at the mandatory redemption date (Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy). The resulting fair value of the 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred issued on December 30, 2009 was $8,805,140. As of April 1, 2010, the Company amended the Certificate of Designation for Series D Preferred such that the Series D Preferred is convertible into Class A Common Stock. See Note 7. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature resulting from this amendment is $23,052,396; since the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the fair value determined at issuance plus the accretion as of April 1, 2010, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion was the fair value of the Series D Preferred on April 1, 2010 of $8,896,486.
The $2,000,000 of proceeds from the April 15, 2010 sale of the Series D Preferred was allocated to the debt and warrants based on the relative fair values of each instrument at the time of issuance; the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature at issuance was $245,145. The proceeds from the sale of the Series D Preferred were allocated as follows: $929,356 to fair value of warrants, $825,499 to the liability for mandatorily redeemable preferred stock; and $245,145 to the beneficial conversion feature.
The difference between the fair value of the Series D Preferred and the redemption value of $12,000,000 will be accreted to interest expense over the period to redemption in January 2013 using the level yield method. The carrying value at September 30, 2010 is $954,674.
7. Shareholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock:
As of April 1, 2010, the Company's Certificate of Designation for Series D Preferred was amended by adding a provision allowing for the conversion of the Series D Preferred at any time after one year after its issuance. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company as is determined by dividing the amount of $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like) by the Conversion Price (defined in the following sentence) applicable to such share in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The Conversion Price per share of Series D Preferred is 80% of the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that in no event will the Conversion Price be less than $1.00 per share.
On July 29, 2010, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, by filing a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation designating 250,000 shares of its Preferred Stock as Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”). Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company as is determined by dividing the amount of $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like) by the Conversion Price (defined in the following sentence) applicable to such share in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The Conversion Price per share of Series E Preferred is 80% of the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that in no event will the Conversion Price be less than $1.00 per share. Series E Preferred may be converted to Class A Common stock 18 months after issuance and is mandatorily convertible to Class A Common Stock 36 months after issuance. A total of 97,500 shares were issued in connection with the acquisition of Vitality on July 30, 2010. See Note 3.
Stock Warrants:
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had 1,204,417 warrants outstanding for Class A Common Stock which are exercisable as follows:
Warrants | | Exercise Price Per Share | | Expiration Date |
3,189 | | $ | 37.50 | | April 2015 |
487 | | $ | 72.00 | | June 2016 |
667 | | $ | 75.00 | | July 2011 |
74 | | $ | 4,077.00 | | March 2012 |
1,200,000 | | $ | 0.001 | | April 15, 2015 |
On April 15, 2010, the Company sold 200,000 shares of Series D Preferred to Founders Fund for a purchase price of $10.00 per share. See Note 4. In connection with the sale of the Series D Preferred, on April 15, 2010, and for no additional consideration, the Company issued a warrant to Founders Fund to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The warrant expires on April 15, 2015.
The fair value of the warrant was calculated using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions:
Expected life (in years) | | | 5 | |
Expected volatility | | | 40.42 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 2.57 | % |
Expected dividend | | | — | |
The fair value of the warrant was determined by allocating the $2,000,000 of proceeds from the sale of the mandatorily redeemable Series D Preferred to the debt and warrants based on the relative fair values of each instrument at the time of issuance. The resulting fair value of the warrant issued on April 15, 2010 to purchase 1,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock was $929,356.
Warrants for 7,330 shares of Class A Common Stock were exercised on March 11, 2010, resulting in $259 proceeds to the Company.
Warrants for 6,510,092 shares of Class B Common Stock were exercised on April 2, 2010, resulting in $65,101 proceeds to the Company.
Common Stock:
At the annual meeting of the shareholders held on March 31, 2010, the Company's shareholders voted to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each ten shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were combined and reclassified as one share of fully paid and nonassessable common stock.
At the same annual meeting of the shareholders on March 31, 2010, the Company's shareholders also voted to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to create two classes of common stock: Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Articles authorize 75 million shares of common stock, of which 65 million shares are designated as Class A Common Stock and 10 million shares are designated as Class B Common Stock. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share, on any matter submitted to the shareholders. Effective immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, each share of common stock outstanding was automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split and such conversion for all periods presented.
8. Loss Reimbursement
The Company’s servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC provides for CarePayment, LLC to pay additional compensation equal to the Company’s actual monthly losses for the first quarter of 2010 and an amount equal to 50% of actual monthly losses for the second quarter of 2010. This additional compensation is intended to reimburse the Company for transition costs that are not specifically identifiable. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the period of the agreement, the Company recorded a loss reimbursement of $1,241,912 as other income.
9. Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
The shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted loss per common share are reconciled as follows:
| | Three Months Ended September 30 | | | Nine Months Ended September 30 | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Weighted average basic common shares outstanding | | | 7,900,708 | | | | 197,409 | | | | 5,704,951 | | | | 197,380 | |
Dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock (a) (b) | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Dilutive effect of warrants (a) (b) | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Dilutive effect of employee stock options (a) (b) | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding (a) (b) | | | 7,900,708 | | | | 197,409 | | | | 5,704,951 | | | | 197,380 | |
| (a) | Common stock equivalents outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 excluded in the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive as a result of applying the treasury stock method are: warrants to purchase 1,204,417 shares of Class A Common Stock, 1,200,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock convertible to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and 97,500 shares of Series E Preferred Stock based on the conversion calculation described in Note 7, and stock options to purchase 897,950 shares of Class A Common Stock. |
| (b) | Common stock equivalents outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 excluded in the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive as a result of applying the treasury stock method are: warrants to purchase 1,072,414 shares of Class A Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock convertible to purchase 18,605 shares of Class A Common Stock. |
10. Employee Benefit Plans
Stock Incentive Plan
In February 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Company may grant restricted stock and stock options for the benefit of selected employees and directors. The Plan was amended in September 2010 to increase authorized grants to a total of 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Grants are issued at prices equal to the estimated fair market value of the stock as defined in the plan on the date of the grant, vest over various terms (generally three years), and expire ten years from the date of the grant. The Plan allows vesting based upon performance criteria; all current grants outstanding are time-based vesting instruments. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Plan). The fair value of share based options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. A total of 102,050 shares of Class A Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan at September 30, 2010.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of options granted using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company recognizes the expense for grants of stock options on a straight-line basis in the statements of operations as operating expense based on their fair value over the requisite service period.
For stock options issued in February 2010, the following assumptions were used:
Expected life (in years) | | | 5.5 | |
Expected volatility | | | 40.90 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 2.58 | % |
Expected dividend | | | — | |
Weighted average fair value per share | | $ | 0.061 | |
For stock options issued in July 2010, the following assumptions were used:
Expected life (in years) | | | 6.0 | |
Expected volatility | | | 39.65 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 1.95 | % |
Expected dividend | | | — | |
Weighted average fair value per share | | $ | 0.057 | |
Expected volatilities are based on historic volatilities from traded shares of a selected publicly traded peer group. Historic volatility has been calculated using the previous two years’ daily share closing price of the index companies. The Company has no historical data to estimate forfeitures. The expected term of options granted is the safe harbor period approved by the SEC using the vesting period and the contract life as factors. The risk-free rate for periods matching the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
A summary of option activity under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is presented below:
| | Number of Shares | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) | | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |
Options outstanding at December 31, 2009 | | | — | | | | | | | | | | |
Granted | | | 897,950 | | | $ | 0.19 | | | | | | | |
Cancelled | | | — | | | | | | | | | | | |
Exercised | | | — | | | | | | | | | | | |
Options outstanding at September 30, 2010 | | | 897,950 | | | $ | 0.19 | | | | 9.4 | | | $ | — | |
Options exercisable at September 30, 2010 | | | 262,343 | | | $ | 0.20 | | | | 9.4 | | | $ | — | |
The Company recorded compensation expense for the estimated fair value of options issued of $4,352 and $26,781 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $27,549 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. The unamortized cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
401(k) Savings Plan
Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in a 401(k) Savings Plan. The Company matches 100% of the first 3% of eligible compensation and 50% of the next 2% of eligible compensation that employees contribute to the plan; the Company’s matching contributions vest immediately. The Company recorded expense of $13,225 and $37,552 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively and no expense for 2009.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases:
The Company and its subsidiaries lease office space and personal property used in their operations from Aequitas, an affiliate. At September 30, 2010, the Company's aggregate future minimum payments for operating leases with the affiliate having initial or non-cancelable lease terms greater than one year are payable as follows:
Year | | Required Minimum Payment | |
2010 | | $ | 56,000 | |
2011 | | $ | 229,000 | |
2012 | | $ | 233,000 | |
2013 | | $ | 238,000 | |
2014 | | $ | 202,000 | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred rent expense of $168,176 and $45,000, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Litigation:
From time to time the Company may become involved in ordinary, routine or regulatory legal proceedings incidental to the Company’s business. In July 2010, a former employee of Vitality filed a complaint in Orange County, California, alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation against Vitality and its officers. The plaintiff seeks damages relating to unexercised stock option grants and other matters related to the sale of Vitality to the Company. See Note 3. The Company believes the claim is without merit and does not believe that the claim will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
12. Fair Value Measures
Fair Value:
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, related party receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short maturities of those instruments.
The fair value of the loans receivable at September 30, 2010 is $76,400 based on a discounted cash flow model.
The fair value of the Company’s mandatorily redeemable convertible Series D Preferred issued on December 30, 2009 and April 15, 2010 was determined using a dividend discount model and additionally for the April 15, 2010 sale of the Series D Preferred, the proceeds from the sale were allocated to the debt and attached warrant based on the relative fair values of each instrument at the time of issuance; the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was computed and recorded as a discount to the Series D Preferred and Additional Paid-In Capital. The assumptions used in the fair value calculation at December 31, 2009 would be the same at September 30, 2010. The difference between the fair value at issue date and the redemption value is being accreted into expense over the period to redemption in January 2013 using the level yield method. The fair value of the Series D Preferred at September 30, 2010 is $11,280,000 based on a discounted cash flow model.
The fair value of the notes payable was calculated using our estimated borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company’s estimated borrowing rate has not changed; therefore, the carrying amounts reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for notes payable approximate fair value.

Overview
CarePayment Technologies, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “CarePayment,” or the “Company”) was incorporated as an Oregon corporation in 1991. From inception until September 28, 2007, we manufactured custom cable assemblies and mechanical assemblies for the medical and commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) markets. We were experiencing considerable competition by late 2006 as our customers aggressively outsourced competing products from offshore suppliers. In the first quarter of 2007, a customer that accounted for over 30% of our revenues experienced a recall of one of its major products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As a result the customer cancelled its orders with us, leaving us with large amounts of inventory on hand and significantly reduced revenue.
On May 31, 2007 we informed our three secured creditors, BFI Business Finance, VenCore Solution, LLC and MH Financial Associates, LLC ("MH Financial"), that we were unable to continue business operations due to continuing operating losses and a lack of working capital. At that time we voluntarily surrendered our assets to these secured creditors, following which we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Moore Electronics, Inc. ("Moore"), operated for the benefit of the secured creditors until September 2007, when we ceased manufacturing operations and became a shell company. MH Financial was, at that time, and currently is, an affiliate of ours due to its ownership of shares of our capital stock.
Following September 2007 and continuing until December 31, 2009, we had no operations. Our Board of Directors, however, determined to maintain us as a shell company to seek opportunities to acquire a business or assets sufficient to operate a business. To help facilitate our search for suitable business acquisition opportunities, among other goals, on June 27, 2008 we entered into an advisory services agreement with Aequitas Capital Management, Inc. (“Aequitas”) to provide us with strategy development, strategic planning, marketing, corporate development and other advisory services. In exchange for the services to be provided by Aequitas under that agreement, we issued to Aequitas warrants to purchase 106,667 shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
Effective at the end of December 2009, we acquired certain assets and rights that enabled us to begin building a business that services accounts receivable for other parties. The assets and rights we acquired had been previously developed by Aequitas and its affiliate, CarePayment, LLC, under the CarePayment® brand for servicing accounts receivable generated by hospitals in connection with providing health care services to their patients. The assets and rights we acquired included the exclusive right to administer, service and collect patient accounts receivable generated by hospitals and purchased by CarePayment, LLC or its affiliates, and a proprietary software product that is used to manage the servicing. Typically CarePayment, LLC or one of its affiliates purchase patient accounts receivable from hospitals and then we administer, service and collect them on behalf of CarePayment, LLC for a fee. Although we intend to grow our business to include servicing of accounts receivable on behalf of other parties, currently CarePayment, LLC is our only customer.
To facilitate building the business, on December 30, 2009 we, Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC formed an Oregon limited liability company called CP Technologies LLC ("CP Technologies"). We contributed shares of our newly authorized Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred") and warrants to purchase shares of our Class B Common Stock to CP Technologies. Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC contributed to CP Technologies the CarePayment® assets and rights described in the foregoing paragraph. CP Technologies then distributed the shares of Series D Preferred to Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC, and the warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common to CarePayment, LLC, to redeem all but half of one membership unit (a "Unit") held by each of them. Following these transactions, we own 99% of CP Technologies, and Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC each own 0.5% of CP Technologies as of December 31, 2009.
Following the transactions described above, our current corporate structure and relationships with certain affiliates are depicted in the following diagram:
• | Aequitas controls approximately 47% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. |
• | Aequitas Holdings owns substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, which represent approximately 95% of the voting power of the Company. |
• | Aequitas CarePayment Founders Fund, LLC (“Founders Fund”) owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Founders Fund is managed by a subsidiary of Aequitas. |
The Receivables Servicing Business
On January 1, 2010 and as a result of the transactions described above, CP Technologies began building a business to service hospital patient receivables for an affiliate of the Company, CarePayment, LLC.
Generally, a majority of a hospital's accounts receivable are paid by medical insurance, Medicare and Medicaid. The balance of accounts receivable due directly from the patient is not always a priority for many hospitals, due primarily to the effort and expense required to collect those balances from individuals. CarePayment, LLC, acting alone or through its affiliates, purchases patient receivables from hospitals. CP Technologies administers, services and collects the receivables; CarePayment, LLC maintains ownership of the receivables.
A patient whose health care receivable is acquired by CarePayment, LLC becomes a CarePayment® finance card customer and is issued a CarePayment® card, which has an initial outstanding balance equal to the receivable purchased by CarePayment, LLC. Balances due on the CarePayment® card are generally payable over 25 months with no interest. From the customer's point of view, the CarePayment® card functions much like a credit card even though CP Technologies advances no credit to the customer. In addition to servicing the receivables, CP Technologies also analyzes potential receivable acquisitions for CarePayment, LLC and recommends a course of action when it determines that collection efforts for existing receivables are no longer effective.
In exchange for its services, CP Technologies receives origination fees at the time CarePayment, LLC purchases and delivers receivables to CP Technologies for servicing, a monthly servicing fee based on the total principal amount of receivables being serviced, and a quarterly fee based upon a percentage of CarePayment, LLC's quarterly net income. CP Technology's servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC included additional compensation during the first nine months of 2010 to cover the Company’s start up costs as it began building a receivables servicing business. This compensation was equal to the Company's actual monthly losses for the first quarter of 2010 and an amount equal to 50% of actual monthly losses for the second quarter of 2010. The Company received $1,241,912 of such compensation from CarePayment, LLC in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
CP Technologies contracts with various vendors to service the CarePayment® finance card product, send customer statements, accept payments, and transmit all transaction history back to CP Technologies. Since CP Technologies is responsible for the CarePayment® finance card's compliance with various laws and regulations relating to consumer credit, these vendors are selected for their specific expertise in such areas.
On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Vitality Financial, Inc. (“Vitality”) pursuant to which Vitality became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Vitality received, collectively, 97,500 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in consideration for all the outstanding stock of Vitality.
Vitality purchases consumer health care receivables from hospitals for the patients’ uninsured portion of their hospital bill on a non-recourse basis. Vitality has developed a proprietary healthcare credit score process to evaluate non-recourse loans prior to purchase. Upon credit approval, customers are offered a pre-approved line of credit. When the customer accepts the terms of the agreement, the Company purchases the customer’s hospital receivable balance at a discount. Interest rates charged the consumer on these loans are generally less than traditional credit card rates.
Other
Currently, shares of our Class A Common Stock trade on the Pink Sheets under the symbol CPYT.PK.
As of August 2010, no class of our securities is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and we are not subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act. On April 30, 2010, we filed a Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to register our Class A Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. We voluntarily withdrew the Form 10 on June 6, 2010 while we respond to comments to the Form 10 that we received from the staff of the SEC. We intend to re-file the Form 10, but cannot predict when we will do so or, once re-filed, when the registration will be declared effective. Until the Form 10 is declared effective, we intend to continue filing reports and information under the Exchange Act voluntarily.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company based the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which formed the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The Company believes the critical accounting policy and related judgments and estimates identified in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained in this Report affect the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are certifications (the "Certifications") of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, which are required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referenced in the Certifications.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2010. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level nor are they effective to give reasonable assurance that the information the Company must disclose in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission are properly recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as required, and that such information is not accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company restarted operations on January 1, 2010 and has not had sufficient time or financial resources to design and implement adequate disclosure controls and procedures. The Company is in the process of doing so, and anticipates that it will complete these activities during 2010.
There were no changes to the Company’s internal controls during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time the Company may become involved in ordinary, routine or regulatory legal proceedings incidental to the Company’s business. On July 7, 2010, a former employee of Vitality filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California for Orange County, alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation against Vitality and its officers.
