Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of BioTelemetry, Inc.’s (“BioTelemetry,” “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” ) financial position as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Net Income (Loss) We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including stock options and RSUs. The following table presents the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 (Net income (loss) in thousands) Numerator: Net income (loss) $ $ ) Denominator: Weighted average shares used in computing basic net income (loss) per share Potential dilutive common shares due to dilutive stock option and restricted stock units — Weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share Net income (loss) per share: Basic net income (loss) per share $ $ ) Diluted net income (loss) per share $ $ ) If the outstanding vested options or RSUs were exercised or converted into common stock, the result would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, certain stock options, which are priced higher than the market price of our shares as of March 31, 2016, would be anti-dilutive and therefore have been excluded from the weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share. These options could become dilutive in future periods. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term and long-term debt. With the exception of the long-term debt, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature (classified as Level 1). For long-term debt, which is classified as Level 2, the fair value was determined to be $23,750 as of March 31, 2016. This is equal to the nominal value, which is the carrying value, exclusive of debt discount and deferred charges. We did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits, liquid investments and money market funds with maturity from date of purchase of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash and have minimal interest rate risk. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held in U.S. financial institutions or in custodial accounts with U.S. financial institutions. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable related to the Healthcare segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of receivables using historical company specific data. The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections and the aging of receivables by payor. Because of continuing changes in the healthcare industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates of collectability could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows. Other accounts receivable related to the Research and Technology segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, or when products are shipped or services are performed. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis and consider several factors in our analysis, including customer specific information and aging of the account. We write off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote and when we believe collection efforts have been fully exhausted and we do not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect. We perform write-offs on a monthly basis. In the Healthcare segment, we wrote off $2,046 and $1,575 of receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no material write-offs in the Research and Technology segments. We recorded bad debt expense of $2,638 and $2,349, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Equity Method Investments We account for investments using the equity method of accounting if the investment provides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company’s ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee ranges between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets under Other assets and adjusted for dividends received and our share of the investee’s earnings or losses together with other-than-temporary impairments which are recorded through Interest and other loss, net in the consolidated statements of operations. In December 2015, we acquired approximately 29% of the outstanding stock of Well Bridge Health, Inc. through the conversion of an outstanding note receivable and the related accrued interest. The investment is accounted for under the equity method. At the time of acquisition, the equity method basis difference of $891 was allocated to equity method goodwill. As of March 31, 2016, $1,079 was recorded under Other assets for the investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, no dividends were received and our share of the investee’s loss of $21 was recorded under Interest and other loss, net. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other , goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or when events arise that could indicate that impairment exists. The provisions of ASC 350 require that we perform a two-step impairment test. In the first step, we compare the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceeds the fair value of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units’ goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting units’ goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded. For the purpose of performing our goodwill impairment analysis, we consider our business to be comprised of three reporting units: Healthcare, Research and Technology. We calculate the fair value of the reporting units utilizing a weighting of the income and market approaches. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that includes assumptions for, among other things, forecasted income, cash flow, growth rates, income tax rates, expected tax benefits and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgment. The market approach utilizes our market data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and the judgment applied in the analysis. We believe that the combination of an income and a market approach provides a reasonable basis to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. Acquired intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The estimated fair values and useful lives of intangible assets are determined by assessing many factors including estimates of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, the characteristics of the intangible assets and the experience of the acquired business. Independent appraisal firms may assist with the valuation of acquired assets. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangibles other than goodwill consists of a comparison of the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to the carrying value of the asset. We estimate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangibles using the relief from royalty method.
