VIRTUAL RADIOLOGIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008
(unaudited)
1. Business Overview
Virtual Radiologic Corporation, or vRad, a Delaware corporation, provides radiologic interpretations, or reads, via teleradiology for emergency and routine care coverage to radiology practices, hospitals, clinics and diagnostic imaging centers primarily located within the United States. Virtual Radiologic Professionals, LLC, or VRP, a Delaware limited liability company, is vRad’s affiliated physician-owned medical practice that contracts with the Company’s independent contractor physicians for the provision of their services to fulfill customer contracts held by vRad or the other Professional Corporations (as defined below).
Virtual Radiologic Professionals of California, P.A., Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Illinois, S.C., Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Michigan, P.C., Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Minnesota, P.A., Virtual Radiologic Professionals of New York, P.A. and Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Texas, P.A. are collectively referred to as the “Professional Corporations.” As of June 30, 2009 each of these entities was a professional corporation with one stockholder, who was also an officer and a director of vRad, and the sole equity owner of VRP. The Professional Corporations hold customer contracts in certain states to facilitate compliance with corporate practice of medicine laws in such states. VRP and the Professional Corporations are collectively referred to as the “Affiliated Medical Practices.”
vRad also has two wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries, Virtual Radiologic Limited, or VRL, and vRad Professional Insurance Ltd., or VPIL. VRL was formed under the laws of England and Wales and is located in London, England. VRL was formed to facilitate the international expansion of the Company’s business providing teleradiology services and products to customers located outside of the United States. VPIL was formed for the purpose of insuring the Company’s self-insured retention under its medical malpractice insurance policy. VPIL was formed as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands with limited liability.
The term “Company” as used in this report refers to vRad, its Affiliated Medical Practices, VRL and VPIL.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements
The Company has prepared the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, for interim financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2009. The December 31, 2008 balance sheet data has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all note disclosures required by GAAP. However, the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

VIRTUAL RADIOLOGIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008
(unaudited)
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Company consolidates its financial results in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No., or FIN, 46(R),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46(R), which requires a primary beneficiary to consolidate entities determined to be variable interest entities, or VIEs. The Company has determined that the Affiliated Medical Practices are VIEs and that vRad is the primary beneficiary of such VIEs, as defined by FIN 46(R). The Affiliated Medical Practices were created as the Company’s business expanded, for the purpose of facilitating compliance with corporate practice of medicine laws in various states. The management of vRad was involved significantly in the design and creation of the VIEs and, with the exception of rendering medical judgments, holds significant influence over their continuing operations through management service agreements. Although vRad holds no legal ownership in the VIEs, as a result of the pricing structure inherent in the management agreements, vRad will absorb a majority of any potential future losses of the VIEs and receive a majority of any potential residual returns of the VIEs. As such, the Company has concluded that vRad is required to consolidate the VIEs. As of June 30, 2009, vRad has historically funded losses of the VIEs totaling approximately $7.3 million and expects to fund any potential future losses. vRad will only receive residual returns up to the amount of previously recognized losses.
The effect of the VIEs’ consolidation on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009 was an increase in the Company’s assets and liabilities of approximately $14.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2008, as a result of consolidating the VIEs, the Company’s assets and liabilities increased by approximately $11.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The liabilities of the VIEs consolidated by the Company do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the VIEs. Likewise, the assets of the VIEs consolidated by the Company do not represent additional assets available to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the revenue of the VIEs represented approximately 47%, or $14.3 million, and 46%, or $11.8 million of the consolidated revenue of the Company, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the revenue of the VIEs represented approximately 47%, or $27.5 million, and 45%, or $22.0 million, of the consolidated revenue of the Company, respectively. Through consolidation, the Company recognizes all net losses of each VIE in excess of the equity of that VIE. The Company recognizes net earnings of each VIE only to the extent it is recovering losses previously recognized with respect to that VIE. Earnings of each VIE in excess of the Company’s previously recognized losses with respect to that VIE are eliminated from the Company’s earnings and are attributed to the respective equity owners of that VIE by recording such earnings as non-controlling interest on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, one of the VIEs experienced net income that increased its positive equity position. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized non-controlling interest expense of approximately $4,000. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, one of the VIEs experienced net income that increased its positive equity position. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized non-controlling interest expense of approximately $4,000 and $8,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the financial statements of vRad have been presented on a consolidated basis to include its variable interests in the Affiliated Medical Practices as well as VRL and VPIL, vRad’s wholly owned subsidiaries.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 157,Fair Value Measurements,or SFAS No. 157. This standard clarified the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. On February 12, 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, FAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,or FSP FAS 157-2. FSP FAS 157-2 deferred the implementation of SFAS No. 157 for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The portion of SFAS No. 157 that had been deferred by FSP FAS 157-2 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The application of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,an amendment of ARB 51, or SFAS No. 160, which changes the accounting for and reporting of minority interests. In accordance with SFAS No. 160, minority interests are recharacterized as non-controlling interests and are reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the non-controlling interest is included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest being sold, as well as any interest retained, is recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009. The statement has been applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which have been applied retrospectively for all periods presented. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 160, the Company has classified non-controlling interests as part of total stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. In addition, the Company has classified non-controlling interest expense after net income to arrive at net income attributable to Virtual Radiologic Corporation on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 160, the Company recorded non-controlling interests as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets and non-controlling interest expense as a component of net income on its consolidated statements of operations. This statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. This pronouncement was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,Subsequent Events,or SFAS No. 165, which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS No. 165 refers to these events as recognized (Type I) and non-recognized (Type II), however, it does not change existing literature regarding recognition and disclosure requirements of Type I and Type II subsequent events. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and has been adopted by the Company prospectively during the period ending June 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167,Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), or SFAS No. 167. SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R) and requires an analysis to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This statement requires an ongoing reassessment and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 167 in the first quarter of 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168,The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or SFAS No. 168. This standard replaces SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 will become the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS No. 168 and all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not covered by SFAS No. 168 will become non-authoritative. This standard is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 168 in the third quarter of 2009. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, the Company does not expect it to have any financial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. Selected Consolidated Financial Statement Information
Restricted Cash
The Company had approximately $1.8 million and $700,000 in restricted cash as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, restricted cash consisted of a letter of credit for a security deposit required by the lease agreement for the Company’s new headquarters, a letter of credit required for the establishment of VPIL and a letter of credit which is required by the Company’s medical malpractice insurance policy. Cash in the amounts of such letters of credit is required to be held on deposit with a bank and is restricted as to its use.
Short-term Investments
The Company’s short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity investments. The Company intends, and has the ability, to hold these investments to maturity, and therefore carries such investments at cost in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Cost approximates fair value due to the highly liquid nature of these investments.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2— 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— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Depreciation and amortization related to the property, plant and equipment of the Company was approximately $1.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and approximately $2.6 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The Company records acquired assets, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities at their respective fair values, recording goodwill as the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested at least annually (during the second quarter) or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that this asset may be impaired, consistent with the guidance in SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The tests are based on the Company’s single operating segment and reporting unit structure. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. Quoted market prices in active markets are used as the basis of the Company’s measurement in estimating the fair value of its single reporting unit. The results of the annual impairment test performed as of June 30, 2009 indicated the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying

value, and therefore, goodwill was not impaired. Accordingly, the Company was not required to complete the second step of the goodwill impairment test.
Goodwill was $858,000 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Intangible Assets, Net
A summary of intangible assets is as follows:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Company records amortization related to patents and non-compete agreements on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 15 years and 2 years, respectively. The Company also records amortization related to customer relationships over their estimated useful life of 10 years based on the expected future economic benefits of those customer relationships on an accelerated basis. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $280,000 and $143,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $561,000 and $149,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Company continually reviews events and changes in circumstances related to its financial performance and economic environment for factors that would provide evidence of potential impairment or warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization of its intangible assets. If impairment indicators are identified, the Company would test for impairment using undiscounted cash flows as the basis for determining recoverability.
As of June 30, 2009, future estimated amortization expenses related to intangible assets were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Amount | |
| | (in thousands) | |
Six months ending December 31, 2009 | | $ | 561 | |
Year ending December 31, 2010 | | | 879 | |

Year ending December 31, 2012 | | | 570 | |
Year ending December 31, 2013 | | | 473 | |
Thereafter | | | 1,341 | |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 4,513 | |
| | | |
This future amortization expense is an estimate. Actual amounts may vary from these estimated amounts due to additional intangible asset acquisitions, potential impairment, accelerated amortization or other events.

6. Stock Repurchase Program
In March 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases may take place in the open market, or pursuant to negotiated or block transactions in accordance with applicable SEC guidelines and regulations. Additionally, repurchases may be made pursuant to trading plans meeting requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased 101,878 shares of common stock at an average price of $8.23 per share for total cash consideration of $841,000. As of June 30, 2009 the Company had $4.2 million remaining under the $5.0 million share repurchase program.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
On December 7, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to lease approximately 82,000 square feet of space in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, to consolidate its corporate headquarters. The lease commenced on March 2, 2009 and expires on August 31, 2019. In conjunction with the lease, the Company was entitled to a tenant improvement allowance of approximately $2.7 million, and upon commencement of the lease, the Company recognized approximately $2.7 million in leasehold improvements and deferred tenant lease allowances. The amounts for leasehold improvements and deferred tenant lease allowance are recorded in property, plant and equipment, net and deferred tenant lease allowance, respectively on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. In addition, the lease arrangement contains a rent escalation clause for which the lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent in the amount of $540,000 associated with this lease is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a pre-tax net charge of approximately $200,000 in accordance with SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs associated with Exit or DisposalActivities. The charge comprised of costs pertaining to vacated leased facilities located in Minnetonka, Minnesota and Mountain View, California, net of the reversal of any remaining deferred rent. The accrual related to the vacated facilities is calculated net of any estimated sublease income which is based on current market quotes for similar properties. If the Company is unable to sublet the vacated properties on a timely basis or is forced to sublet them at lower rates due to the change in market conditions, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly. The net charge was recognized in sales, general and administrative expenses. The balance of the remaining lease liability was $277,000 as of June 30, 2009 and is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company entered into capital leases for equipment in February 2009 that expire in February 2013. Capital leases are recorded in property, plant and equipment, net, other current liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. Future minimum lease payments under these capital leases, together with the present value of minimum lease payments, as of June 30, 2009, are as follows:

Professional Liability Coverage
The Company’s business entails an inherent risk of claims of medical malpractice against its independent contractor physicians and itself. The Company contracts and pays premiums for professional liability insurance that indemnifies it and its independent contractor physicians for losses incurred related to medical malpractice litigation. The Company maintains professional liability insurance policies with a third-party insurer on a claims-made basis, subject to a self-insured retention, deductibles, exclusions and other restrictions. The Company’s self-insured retention under its professional liability insurance program is insured through VPIL, its wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. The Company records liabilities for self-insured amounts and claims incurred but not reported based on an actuarial valuation using historical loss patterns. An inherent assumption in such estimates is that historical loss patterns can be used to predict future patterns with reasonable accuracy. Because many factors can affect historical and future loss patterns, the determination of an appropriate reserve involves complex, subjective judgment, and actual results may vary significantly from estimates. Insurance liabilities are necessarily based on estimates, including claim frequency and severity. Liabilities for claims incurred but not reported are not discounted. The Company recorded a $350,000 charge for specific claims reserves during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded only specific claims reserves for medical malpractice claims in accordance with SFAS No. 5, as a result of the Company’s limited historical loss experience. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not record any additional specific claims reserves, but recorded medical malpractice loss development reserves and incurred but not recorded claims reserves of approximately $439,000 and $398,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not record any additional specific claims reserves, but recorded medical malpractice loss development reserves and incurred but not recorded claims reserves of approximately $1.2 million and $951,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, medical malpractice loss reserves were $3.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
The Company believes that its insurance coverage is appropriate based upon its claims experience and the nature of its business. However, the Company cannot assure that any pending or future claim will not be successful, or if successful that it will not exceed the limits of available insurance coverage. If the self-insured retention amounts and other amounts that the Company is actually required to pay materially exceed the estimates that have been reserved, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Litigation
On July 31, 2007, Merge eMed, Inc., or Merge, filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, alleging that the Company has infringed on certain of Merge’s patents relating to teleradiology. On December 11, 2007, the court granted the Company’s motion to stay the patent suit pending the outcome of a reexamination by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, of these same patents. On August 28, 2008, the PTO ruled invalid all of the claims in the patents upon which Merge had sued the Company. Merge has not yet responded to the PTO action. It is expected that a reexamination certificate cancelling the claims of the patents will be issued due to Merge’s failure

to respond to the PTO action. The judicial stay of proceedings in the lawsuit continues in effect at this time.
On March 8, 2009, DR Systems, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, alleging that the Company has infringed on a patent held by DR Systems through our use of medical imaging and archival systems. On July 7, 2009, this suit was dismissed as a result of the Company’s assertion of its use of third party software, and a pre-existing license agreement between DR Systems and the third party, covering the Company’s use.
The Company is from time to time subject to, and is presently involved in, other litigation or legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business, including medical malpractice claims and certain employment related matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the Company’s management believed that the final outcome of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(unaudited)
No. 03-6, and FSP EITF 03-6-1,Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, or FSP EITF 03-6-1. In accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1, share-based awards with non-forfeitable dividends are classified as participating securities. In calculating basic earnings per share, this method requires net income to be reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each participating security and by the contractual amount of dividends or other participation payments that are paid or accumulated for the current period. Undistributed earnings for the period are allocated to participating securities based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in those current earnings assuming all earnings for the period are distributed. The Company’s recipients of restricted stock awards have contractual participation rights that are equivalent to those of common stockholders. Therefore, the Company allocates undistributed earnings to restricted stock and common stockholders based on their respective ownership percentage, as of the end of the period.
EITF Issue No. 03-6 requires companies with participating securities to calculate diluted earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128,Earnings Per Share, or SFAS No. 128. The two-class method requires the denominator to include the weighted average restricted stock along with the additional share equivalents from the assumed conversion of stock options calculated using the treasury stock method, subject to the antidilution provisions of SFAS No. 128.
The following table presents the computation of earnings per share:

Overview
Virtual Radiologic Corporation is a leading provider of teleradiology services throughout the United States, and provides services to customers in international markets. We provide radiologic interpretations, or reads, for emergency and routine care cases through the utilization of a scalable communications network incorporating encrypted broadband internet connections and proprietary workflow management software. We serve our customers — radiology practices, hospitals, clinics and diagnostic imaging centers — by providing reads 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our distributed operating model provides our team of board-certified radiologists with the flexibility to choose the location from which they work and allows us to serve customers located throughout the world.
We provide radiologic interpretations for a broad range of digital diagnostic imaging modalities, including CT, MRI and ultrasound. Diagnostic radiology aids in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries, diseases and other medical conditions by interpreting images of the human body. Our independent contractor physicians collectively have the expertise, including subspecialty fellowship training, necessary to permit them to read all diagnostic imaging modalities, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, PET, and x-ray technology modalities.
In this report, Virtual Radiologic Corporation is sometimes referred to as “vRad.” Virtual Radiologic Professionals of California, P.A., Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Illinois, S.C., Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Michigan, P.C., Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Minnesota, P.A., Virtual Radiologic Professionals of New York, P.A. and Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Texas, P.A. are collectively referred to as the “Professional Corporations.” Virtual Radiologic Professionals, LLC, or VRP, and the Professional Corporations are collectively referred to as the “Affiliated Medical Practices.” vRad has two wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries; Virtual Radiologic Limited, or VRL, and vRad Professional Insurance Ltd., or VPIL. VRL was formed under the laws of England and Wales and is located in London, England. VPIL was formed as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. The terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” are used in this report to refer to vRad, its Affiliated Medical Practices, VRL and VPIL.
Trends in Our Business and Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
During 2009, we continue to focus on retaining our existing customer base, acquiring new customers, retaining and attracting additional radiologists, and attaining further penetration into the final read market.
Revenue
We generate substantially all of our revenue from the radiology services that we provide to our customers. We provide these services pursuant to contracts that generally have a two-year term and automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless terminated by the customer or by us. The amount that we charge for our radiology services varies by customer and is based upon a number of factors, including the hours of coverage, the number of reads, whether the reads are preliminary reads or final reads, and the technical and administrative services provided. We typically bill our customers at the beginning of the month following the month in which the services were provided. Because we primarily contract directly with our customers and are paid directly by our customers, we do not generally depend upon payment by third party payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance or patients.
Our growth in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 over the same periods in 2008 resulted primarily from:
| • | | an increase in our customer base; |
|
| • | | an increase in utilization of our services by our customers; |
|
| • | | high customer retention rates; and |
|
| • | | customer relationships acquired through our acquisition of Diagna Radiology, LLC, or Diagna (completed in April 2008). |
The above factors have been partially offset by declines in our average price per read.
21
Our revenues are also affected by seasonality. While our revenues have continued to grow each year, we typically experience increased demand for our services and higher revenue growth during the third quarter of each year. We believe that during the summer months there are an increased amount of outdoor and transportation activities leading to more hospital visits. Additionally, more frequent vacation time taken by our customers’ radiologists can result in increased reads performed by our independent contractor physicians. We expect this seasonality with respect to our revenues to continue, although we believe the current economic downturn may cause the impact from seasonality to be less than in previous years. Our operating results are thus subject to seasonal fluctuations, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our performance to fall short of quarterly expectations.
In addition, our revenues are affected by fluctuations in the price per read charged to the customers to whom we provide service. We have seen an increased amount of pricing pressure from competition in our marketplace and we expect these declines in price to continue for the near future. In general, we have seen the greatest per read pricing declines in preliminary reads and specifically in CT and plain film reads. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the decrease in average price per read was not materially affected by changes in mix.
More recently, our customers have been impacted by the economic downturn, which we believe resulted in a decrease in hospital emergency department visits during the second half of 2008, and that continued in the first half of 2009, impacting imaging volumes. We are unable to fully predict what impact a continued economic downturn will have on our customers and our business or when general economic conditions will improve.

Operating Costs and Expenses
Our operating costs and expenses consist primarily of professional services and sales, general and administrative expenses.
Professional Services Expense.Our professional services expense consists of the fees we pay to our independent contractor physicians for their services, physician stock-based compensation and medical malpractice liability expense.
22
| • | | Physician Cash Compensation Expense.Physician cash compensation expense is the fees paid to our independent contractor physicians for providing diagnostic interpretation services for our customers. We compensate our independent contractor physicians using a formula that includes a base level of compensation and additional amounts with regard to the number of hours worked and the number and type of reads performed. We recognize physician cash compensation expense in the month in which our independent contractor physicians perform the reads for our customers. Since our inception, our physician cash compensation expense has increased each year as we have added more independent contractor physicians to fulfill the increased demand for our services as our business and customer base has grown. However, physician cash compensation expense as a percentage of revenue has decreased due to the increased efficiency of our independent contractor physicians. The increases in efficiency by the existing independent contractor physicians have been, and may continue to be, offset, in part, by increases in newly engaged independent contractor physicians and the costs associated with the typical 90- to 180-day period during which newly engaged independent contractor physicians obtain necessary state licenses and hospital credentials, and thereafter become accustomed to our workflow technology. |
|
| • | | Physician Stock-Based Compensation Expense.We record stock-based compensation expense in connection with any equity awards to our independent contractor physicians. Physician stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that fluctuates based upon the fair value of our common stock underlying the awards at the close of each reporting period as required by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18,Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, or EITF Issue No. 96-18. As the value of an award is based on the underlying value of the common stock, we may record additional expense or income based on fluctuations in that value. Our physician stock-based compensation expense may also increase in future periods if we issue additional equity awards to our independent contractor physicians. |
|
| • | | Medical Liability Expense.Medical liability expense consists primarily of incurred but not reported, or IBNR, loss reserves, claims-made loss development reserves related to our self-insured retention and premiums paid for third-party medical malpractice insurance. We recognize loss development and IBNR loss reserves based on actuarial analyses performed during the policy term, and amortize medical liability insurance premiums over the term of the policy to which they relate. Our medical liability expense has increased as a percentage of revenues due to the establishment of loss development and IBNR loss reserves. |

Our sales, general and administrative expenses have increased each year since our inception as a result of increased employee compensation expenses, including stock-based compensation, and costs associated with development and maintenance of our expanding business, such as information technology and facilities costs.

Total revenue | | $ | 30,585 | | | $ | 25,921 | | | $ | 4,664 | | | | 18.0 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The 18.0% increase in total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, resulted primarily from an increase in the number of customers to whom we provided services, including customer relationships acquired through the purchase of Diagna, and increased volume from existing customers. The number of customers to whom we provided services increased to 641 as of June 30, 2009, from 575 as of June 30, 2008. The number of medical facilities to whom we provide services increased to 1,085 as of June 30, 2009, from 939 as of June 30, 2008. Same site volume growth was 5.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 6.8% for the same period in 2008. These increases were partially offset by a 5.2% decline in our average price per read.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The 20.9% increase in professional services expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, resulted primarily from increases in physician cash compensation expense and medical liability expense. Physician cash compensation expense increased primarily as a result of additional reading radiologists, including the additional radiologists from the acquisition of Diagna. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the number of reading radiologists increased 8.9% to 135 compared to 124 for the same period in 2008. Medical liability expense increased primarily due to the recognition of additional actuarially-based loss development and IBNR loss reserves during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in non-cash physician stock-based compensation resulted from an increase in the value of our common stock during the second quarter of 2009.
The decrease in physician cash compensation expense as a percentage of revenue and average cash compensation per read resulted primarily from improved radiologist efficiency due to continuing advancements in both our distributed network infrastructure and our radiologist support services.

| | (dollars in thousands) |
Sales, general and administrative | | $ | 10,526 | | | $ | 9,332 | | | $ | 1,194 | | | | 12.8 | % |
The 12.8% increase in sales, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, resulted primarily from increased expenses for employee compensation, information technology and other general and administrative expense. Employee compensation increased $812,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. This represented 68.0% of the total increase in sales, general and administrative expense, and was driven primarily from additional accrued performance-based bonus compensation and non-cash employee stock-based compensation expense. Information technology increased $135,000 over the same periods and represented 11.3% of the total increase in sales, general and administrative expenses. This increase was primarily driven by increased software transactional costs and network provisioning costs associated with the growth in our read volumes. The remaining $247,000 increase over the same periods resulted from other sales, general and administrative expenses. This increase represented 20.7% of the total increase in sales, general and administrative expense and resulted primarily from a $200,000 restructuring charge associated with the abandonment of our leases in Minnetonka, MN and Mountain View, CA.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.Depreciation and amortization expenses increased from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $1.7 million for the same period in 2009. This 41.7% increase was due primarily to additional technology equipment purchased for our operations and the amortization of customer relationship and non-compete intangible assets, which resulted from our acquisition of Diagna. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenue were 5.6% and 4.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense increased from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
25
2008 to $1.6 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 over the comparable 2008 period was due primarily to the election by VRP to be taxed as a corporation and not as a partnership. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in income before income tax expense for vRad from approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to approximately $3.6 million for the same period in 2009. These factors resulted in an effective tax rate of 40.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a rate of 43.6% for the same period in 2008.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The 20.1% increase in total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, resulted primarily from an increase in the number of customers to whom we provided services, including customer relationships acquired through the purchase of Diagna, and increased volume from existing customers. The number of customers to whom we provided services increased to 641 as of June 30, 2009, from 575 as of June 30, 2008. The number of medical facilities to whom we provide services increased to 1,085 as of June 30, 2009, from 939 as of June 30, 2008. Same site volume growth was 8.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 10.3% for the same period in 2008. These increases were partially offset by a 5.2% decline in our average price per read.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The 26.4% increase in professional services expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in June 30, 2008, resulted primarily from increases in physician cash compensation expense and medical liability expense. Physician cash compensation expense increased primarily as a result of additional reading radiologists, including the additional radiologists from the acquisition of Diagna. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the number of physicians performing reads increased 8.9% to 135 compared to 124 for the same period in 2008. Medical liability expense increased due to the recognition of additional actuarially-based loss development and IBNR loss reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in the non-cash physician stock-based compensation income resulted from a larger increase in the value of our common stock during the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008.
The decrease in physician cash compensation expense as a percentage of revenue from 44.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 42.7% for the same period in 2009 resulted primarily from improved radiologist efficiency due to continuing advancements in both our distributed network infrastructure and our radiologist support services.

Sales, general and administrative | | $ | 21,592 | | | $ | 18,067 | | | $ | 3,525 | | | | 19.5 | % |
The 19.5% increase in sales, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, resulted primarily from increased expenses for employee compensation, information technology and other general and administrative expense. Employee compensation increased $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. This represented 54.3% of the total increase in sales, general and administrative expense, and was driven primarily from additional accrued performance-based bonus compensation and non-cash employee stock-based compensation expense. Information technology increased $409,000 over the same periods and represented 11.6% of the total increase in sales, general and administrative expenses. This increase was primarily driven by increased software transactional costs and network provisioning costs associated with the growth in our read volumes. The remaining $1.2 million increase over the same periods resulted from other sales, general and administrative expenses. This increase represented 34.1% of the total increase in sales, general and administrative expense and resulted primarily from a $420,000 charge related to amounts due to our former Chairman under the Transition Agreement between us and our former Chairman, a $335,000 increase in bad debt reserves and a $200,000 restructuring charge associated with the abandonment of our leases in Minnetonka, MN and Mountain View, CA.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $3.2 million for the same period in 2009. This 52.4% increase was due primarily to additional technology equipment purchased for our operations and the amortization of customer relationship and non-compete intangible assets, which resulted from our acquisition of Diagna. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenue was 5.4% and 4.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We believe that depreciation and amortization expense will increase in the future.
Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense decreased from $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $2.5 million for the same period in 2009, which resulted primarily from a decrease in pre-tax net income for vRad from approximately $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to approximately $4.9 million for the same period in 2009. This decrease was partially offset by the election of VRP to be taxed as a corporation and not as a partnership during the six months ended June 30, 2009. These factors resulted in an effective tax rate of 40.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a rate of 43.5% for the same period in 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Our financial position included cash and cash equivalents of $34.4 million and $32.4 million at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, we have short-term investments totaling $7.1 million at June 30, 2009. We have historically funded our operations from cash flows generated from our operating activities, by proceeds generated from the sale of our stock, and to a lesser extent on a historical basis, from borrowings under our previous credit facilities.
The reported changes in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are summarized below:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we generated $16.6 million of net cash from operating activities from net income of $3.8 million. Our net cash from operating activities during this period included cash inflows of $2.6 million as a result of an increase in accrued expenses related primarily to accrued sales, general, and administrative compensation expense and accrued professional services expense and a $1.8 million decrease in other assets primarily as a result of receiving reimbursement for tenant improvements related to the Eden Prairie, Minnesota lease. Additional cash inflows from operations were generated from a $790,000 increase in other liabilities primarily related to an increase in deferred rent and current taxes payable, and a $758,000 decrease in prepaid expenses as a result of the amortization of prepaid medical liability insurance premiums. These cash inflows were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in accounts receivable generated from growth in revenue during the period. In addition, we had non-cash charges of $3.2 million for depreciation and amortization, $2.1 million for medical malpractice loss reserves, $1.6 million for stock-based compensation and $851,000 for the provision of doubtful accounts and sales allowances during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we generated $8.8 million of net cash from operating activities from net income of $4.0 million. Our net cash from operating activities during this period included cash inflows of $1.0 million as a result of a decrease in prepaid expenses related to the amortization of prepaid medical liability insurance premiums, $860,000 as a result of a decrease in current taxes receivable and $848,000 as a result of an increase in accrued expenses related primarily to an increase in accrued professional services expense. These inflows were partially offset by cash outflows of $1.6 million related to an increase in accounts receivable resulting primarily from the growth in our business. In addition, we had non-cash charges of $2.1 million for depreciation and amortization, $1.1 million as a result of an increase in deferred income taxes and $145,000 for stock-based compensation.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, which resulted primarily from $4.1 million in capital expenditures associated with our new headquarters facility and the continued investment in our information technology infrastructure, and a $1.1 million increase in restricted cash related to a security deposit for the lease of our new headquarters facility and a letter of credit for the establishment of VPIL. Partially offsetting these outflows was an inflow of $3.1 million as a result of the proceeds from the maturity of a short-term investment.
Net cash used in investing activities was $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which was comprised primarily of the acquisition of Diagna and capital expenditures associated with purchases of equipment and continued investment in our information technology infrastructure.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $722,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our net cash provided by financing activities primarily included retained cash of $1.6 million as a result of tax benefits generated by the disqualified disposition of stock options, partially offset by $841,000 paid for the repurchase of our common stock.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our net cash provided by financing activities included retained cash of $1.9 million as a result of tax benefits generated by the disqualified disposition of stock options during the period and $141,000 of net proceeds from the
28
issuance of common stock relating to the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $306,000 for payments of costs related to our initial public offering.
Future Liquidity Requirements
We believe that our cash balances and the expected cash flow from our operations will be sufficient to fund our operating activities, working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. We expect our long-term liquidity needs to consist primarily of working capital and capital expenditure requirements, as well as potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, services or technology. We intend to fund these long-term liquidity needs from cash generated from operations along with cash generated by potential future financing transactions. However, our ability to generate cash is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control and cannot be anticipated at this time. To the extent that existing cash and securities and cash from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. Potential investments or acquisitions could also require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If additional funds are obtained by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders may result.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
On December 7, 2007, we entered into an agreement to lease approximately 82,000 square feet of space in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, to consolidate our corporate headquarters. The lease commenced on March 2, 2009, and expires on August 31, 2019. In conjunction with the lease, we were entitled to a tenant improvement allowance of approximately $2.7 million and upon commencement of the lease we recognized approximately $2.7 million in leasehold improvements and deferred tenant lease allowances. The amounts for leasehold improvements and deferred tenant lease allowance are recorded in property, plant and equipment, net and deferred tenant lease allowance, respectively on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. In addition, the lease arrangement contains a rent escalation clause for which the lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent in the amount of $540,000 associated with this lease is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.
We also lease equipment under capital leases that expire in February 2013. Future minimum lease payments under these capital leases, together with the present value of minimum lease payments, as of June 30, 2009, consist of the following:

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to utilize accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during a fiscal period. The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and if it requires the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates on the part of management in its application. We believe the policies described in the following
29
paragraphs to be our critical accounting policies because they are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and require critical management judgment and estimates about matters that are uncertain.
If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for future periods could be materially affected.
Principles of Consolidation
We consolidate our financial results in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 46(R),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46(R), which requires a primary beneficiary to consolidate entities determined to be variable interest entities, or VIEs. We have determined that the Affiliated Medical Practices are VIEs, and that vRad is the primary beneficiary of the Affiliated Medical Practices, as defined by FIN 46(R), and as a result vRad is required to consolidate the Affiliated Medical Practices.
The following tables show the unaudited condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the unaudited condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The amounts reflected in the eliminations columns of the condensed consolidating financial statements represent affiliated party management and professional services fees. The following tables should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We sell our teleradiology services to radiology practices, hospitals, clinics and imaging centers. Teleradiology revenue is recognized in the period when a diagnostic read and operational support services have been completed and when collection is reasonably assured. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectable receivables. The allowance is comprised of specific reserves and a general reserve for potentially uncollectable amounts based on our historical bad debt experience. In determining the amount of the specific reserve, we review the accounts receivable for customers who are past due to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. We make judgments about their creditworthiness based on collections information available to us and historical payment performance. We also maintain a sales allowance to reserve for potential credits issued to customers. The amount of the reserve is determined based on historical credits issued.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123(R),Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, or SFAS No. 123(R) and Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 96-18,Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, or EITF Issue No. 96-18. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and EITF 96-18, stock-based compensation costs are estimated using the fair value of the award as calculated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and are recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Black-Scholes model utilizes various assumptions that require significant judgment, including volatility, forfeiture rates and expected option term. If any of the assumptions used in the
32
Black-Scholes model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in future periods from what is recorded in the current period.
Physician Stock-Based Compensation.We record stock-based compensation expense in connection with any equity instrument awarded to our independent contractor physicians in accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-18. We calculate the stock-based compensation expense related to such issuance by determining the then current fair value of the award using a Black-Scholes model at the date of grant and at the end of each subsequent financial reporting period thereafter. Physician stock-based compensation expense is included in professional services expense.
Employee Stock-Based Compensation.We also record stock-based compensation expense in connection with any award of stock options to employees and directors. We calculate the stock-based compensation expense associated with such awards to our employees and directors granted prior to January 1, 2006, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or APB No. 25, using the intrinsic value method and in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) for awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, by determining the fair value using a Black-Scholes model. We calculate the stock-based compensation expense related to awards to our employees and directors based on the fair value of awards on the date granted. Employee stock-based compensation expense is included in sales, general and administrative expense.
Medical Malpractice Loss Reserves
We maintain professional liability insurance policies with third-party insurers on a claims-made basis, subject to a self-insured retention, deductibles, exclusions and other restrictions. Our self-insured retention under our professional liability insurance program is insured through a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. We record liabilities for specific case reserves, claims made loss development reserves and claims incurred but not reported reserves based on specific case analysis and an actuarial valuation using industry data and our historical loss patterns. The actuarial analysis utilizes industry loss data as a result of our limited loss history. An inherent assumption in such estimates is that industry data and our historical loss patterns can be used to predict future patterns with reasonable accuracy. Insurance liabilities are necessarily based on estimates, including claim frequency and severity. Because many factors can affect historical and future loss patterns, the determination of an appropriate reserve involves complex, subjective judgment, and actual results may vary significantly from estimates.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
We account for acquired goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, or SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or SFAS No. 142. As such, we record acquired assets, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, at their respective fair values, recording goodwill for the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The values assigned to identifiable intangible assets are based on valuations that have been prepared using methodologies and valuation techniques consistent with those used by independent appraisers. These methodologies and techniques utilize various assumptions that require significant judgment, including an estimation of the future cash flows of identifiable intangible assets and the discounting of cash flows to their present value utilizing an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return, or discount rate. The discount rate used is determined at the time of the acquisition in accordance with accepted valuation methods.
We continually review the events and circumstances related to our financial performance and economic environment for factors that would provide evidence of the impairment of our intangible assets or warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. If impairment indicators are identified with respect to our previously recorded intangible assets, we test for impairment using undiscounted cash flows. If such tests indicate impairment, then we measure the impairment as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the fair value of the asset, which is measured using discounted cash flows.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we test our goodwill for impairment at least annually (during the second quarter) or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified. We test for goodwill based on our single operating segment and reporting unit structure. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. Quoted market prices in active markets are used as the basis of our measurement in estimating the fair value of our reporting unit. The results of the annual
33
impairment test performed as of June 30, 2009 indicated the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and therefore our goodwill was not impaired. Accordingly, we were not required to complete the second step of the goodwill impairment test.
Income Taxes
We recognize income taxes under the asset and liability method. As such, deferred taxes are based on the temporary differences, if any, between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts. The deferred taxes are determined using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply when the temporary differences reverse. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Developing a provision for income taxes, including the effective tax rate and the analysis of potential tax exposure items, if any, requires significant judgment and expertise in federal, state and foreign income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets. Our judgment and tax strategies are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. While we believe we have provided adequately for our income tax liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, adverse determinations by these taxing authorities could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows.
As previously noted, we consolidate our financial results under the provisions of FIN 46(R). For income tax purposes, however, we are not considered a consolidated entity. As a result, income generated by the Affiliated Medical Practices, as well as any losses they are able to fund, are excluded from vRad’s calculation of income tax liability. In addition, losses generated by the Affiliated Medical Practices that are funded by vRad result in temporary differences between vRad’s book and tax bases of accounting. These temporary differences will reverse in future periods to the extent those losses are able to be recovered by vRad.
vRad’s 2006 federal income tax return recently underwent an examination by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. In addition, VRP’s 2006 federal income tax return is currently under examination by the IRS and, in conjunction with their audit of VRP’s 2006 federal income tax return, the IRS is also examining the 2006 quarterly employment tax returns of VRP. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, vRad received notice from the IRS that the examination of vRad’s 2006 federal income tax return was closed without adjustment. In addition, VRP received notice from the IRS that the examiner is recommending the audit of VRP’s 2006 federal income tax return be closed without any adjustment. The examination of VRP’s quarterly employment tax returns is ongoing and we continue to work with the IRS to expedite the conclusion of this examination. At this time we do not believe the results of these examinations will have a material adverse effect on us, however the timing and results of any final determination remain uncertain and any adverse determination from the IRS could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2009, the owners of VRP made the election with the IRS to have VRP taxed as a corporation. Prior to that date, VRP was taxed as a partnership.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements,or SFAS No. 157. This standard clarified the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. On February 12, 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, FAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,or FSP FAS 157-2. FSP FAS 157-2 deferred the implementation of SFAS No. 157 for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The portion of SFAS No. 157 that had been deferred by FSP FAS 157-2 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. The application of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,an amendment of ARB 51, or SFAS No. 160, which changes the accounting for and reporting of minority interests. In accordance with SFAS No. 160, minority interests are recharacterized as non-controlling interests and are reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control are accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net
34
income attributable to the non-controlling interest is included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest being sold, as well as any interest retained, is recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 was adopted by us on January 1, 2009. The statement has been applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which have been applied retrospectively for all periods presented. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 160, we have classified non-controlling interests as part of total stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. In addition, we have classified non-controlling interest expense after net income to arrive at net income attributable to Virtual Radiologic Corporation on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 160, we recorded non-controlling interests as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets and non-controlling interest expense as a component of net income on its consolidated statements of operations. This statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. This pronouncement was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,Subsequent Events,or SFAS No. 165, which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS No. 165 does not change existing literature regarding recognition and disclosure requirements of Type I and Type II subsequent events; however, it refers to these events as recognized (Type I) and non-recognized (Type II). SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and has been adopted by us prospectively during the period ending June 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167,Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), or SFAS No. 167. SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R), and requires an analysis to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This statement requires an ongoing reassessment and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS No. 167 in the first quarter of 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168,The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or SFAS No. 168. This standard replaces SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 will become the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS No. 168 and all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not covered by SFAS No. 168 will become non-authoritative. This standard is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS No. 168 in the third quarter of 2009. As SFAS No. 168 was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, we do not expect it to have any financial impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. | | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk |
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
As of June 30, 2009, we did not have significant exposure to foreign currency exchange rates as substantially all of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. VRL’s functional currency is the British pound; however, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, VRL’s operations were not significant and did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
Interest Rate Market Risk
Our cash is invested in bank deposits, demand deposit accounts and certificates of deposit denominated in U.S. dollars. The carrying value of our cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and customer deposits approximate fair value because of the short period of time to their maturity.

ITEM 4. | | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the most recent fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — Other Information

ITEM 1. | | Legal Proceedings |
On March 8, 2009, DR Systems, Inc. filed a complaint against vRad in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, alleging that vRad has infringed on a patent held by DR Systems through our use of medical imaging and archival systems. On July 7, 2009, this suit was dismissed as a result of vRad’s assertion of its use of third party software, and a pre-existing license agreement between DR Systems and the third party, covering vRad’s use.
The Company has added the following risk factor to what was previously disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Current health care reform initiatives targeting diagnostic imaging could adversely impact our customers or the overall imaging market, resulting in an adverse impact on our business.
Current health care reform initiatives have targeted diagnostic imaging as an area for reimbursement cuts, utilization management, and other reform measures. Although the ultimate outcome of these reform efforts remains uncertain, the proposed reforms could adversely affect the overall imaging market and our customers by, among other things, reducing the growth in, or overall number of, diagnostic imaging procedures performed, and the payments to radiology groups and facilities for such procedures. While vRad’s direct exposure to these reforms is believed to be limited due to the nature of our services as primarily emergent, hospital-based interpretations and due to our business model of principally contracting with radiology groups for outsourced interpretations, reduced diagnostic imaging demand, as well as reduced reimbursement to groups and facilities that utilize our services could in turn adversely affect our business.

ITEM 5. | | Other Information |
Employment Terms and New Employment Agreement - Dr. Eduard Michel
On July 30, 2009, vRad entered into an Employment Agreement with Dr. Eduard Michel, the Company’s Chief Medical Officer, having an effective date of July 1, 2009. Dr. Michel and vRad had previously entered into a prior employment agreement, the term of which expired on June 30, 2009.
Under the new Employment Agreement, Dr. Michel will be paid an annual base salary of $350,000, and will have a target annual bonus opportunity of $100,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s annual incentive compensation plans. Dr. Michel has also entered into an Independent Physician Agreement with Virtual Radiologic Professionals, LLC, the Company’s affiliated medical practice, providing him with annual compensation of $50,000 for his services to VRP.
Dr. Michel’s prior agreement with vRad provided for an annual base salary of $120,000 and an annual bonus opportunity, at target, of $60,000, and his prior agreement with VRP provided him with annual compensation of $380,000. The revised compensation terms are intended to reflect Dr. Michel’s increased duties as an executive officer of vRad, including services rendered as a vRad executive to VRP, pursuant to the management and license agreement between the entities.
Dr. Michel’s Employment Agreement provides for a three-year term with automatic renewal for subsequent one-year terms thereafter, unless earlier terminated or unless notice of non-renewal is provided.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Dr. Michel is entitled to certain post-termination benefits, including payment of an amount equal to his annual base salary, payment of all or a portion of his annual incentive compensation, and payment for, or continuation of, health and welfare benefits, in the event his employment is terminated by vRad without cause or by Dr. Michel for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement), or if the Company elects not to renew the term of the agreement following the initial term or any renewal term without cause. The timing of such payments, and in the case of incentive compensation, the calculation of the amount of the payment, is dependent upon whether any such termination was in connection with a “change in control” of the Company (as defined in the agreement). Irrespective of termination or continued employment, any change in control of the Company will also cause all outstanding but unvested equity awards held by Dr. Michel to become fully vested.
Dr. Michel’s agreement also provides for customary confidentiality and invention assignment provisions, and prohibitions on customer or employee solicitation and competition during the term of the agreement and for a period of two years thereafter.
Dr. Michel’s new Employment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, and his new Independent Physician Agreement with VRP is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report.
38
New Executive Employment Agreements for Other Executive Officers
On July 30, 2009, vRad also entered into new Employment Agreements with each of Robert C. Kill, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Leonard C. Purkis, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Richard W. Jennings, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer, and Michael J. Kolar, the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.
These new Employment Agreements are in substantially the same form and contain the terms and conditions described above with respect to Dr. Michel’s new form of agreement, other than compensation amounts. In entering into these agreements, the Company did not alter the compensation payable to any of these other executive officers, and the term of each of these new agreements remains the same as each individual officer’s prior agreement with the Company.
These new executive Employment Agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.3 to 10.6 to this report.
