2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2014 |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The operating activities of subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Investments in companies in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for by the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances, including the unsettled amount of intercompany transactions with our equity method investees, have been eliminated in consolidation. As stated in Note 1 above, the BRMG and Cruse Entities are variable interest entities and we consolidate the operating activities and balance sheets of each. |
|
Use of Estimates | USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial statements; our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements; and our reported amounts of revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations during the reporting periods. These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management’s control. As a result, actual amounts could materially differ from these estimates. |
|
Reclassification | RECLASSIFICATION – We have reclassified certain amounts in the 2013 and 2012 statements of cash flows to conform to the year end 2014 presentation. |
Revenues | REVENUES - Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payors and patients themselves based mainly upon established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments and discounts. As it relates to BRMG and the B&C Entity centers, this service fee revenue includes payments for both the professional medical interpretation revenue recognized by BRMG and the B&C Entities as well as the payment for all other aspects related to our providing the imaging services, for which we earn management fees from BRMG and the B&C Entities. As it relates to non-BRMG and B&C Entity centers, this service fee revenue is earned through providing the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services as well as providing administration services such as clerical and administrative personnel, bookkeeping and accounting services, billing and collection, provision of medical and office supplies, secretarial, reception and transcription services, maintenance of medical records, and advertising, marketing and promotional activities. |
|
Service fee revenues are recorded during the period the services are provided based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payors. Third-party payors include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care health plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are generally based upon predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. We also record a provision for doubtful accounts (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to patients and copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage under one of our third-party payors. |
|
Under capitation arrangements with various health plans, we earn a per-enrollee amount each month for making available diagnostic imaging services to all plan enrollees under the capitation arrangement. Revenue under capitation arrangements is recognized in the period which we are obligated to provide services to plan enrollees under contracts with various health plans. |
|
Our service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, the provision for bad debts, and revenue under capitation arrangements for the years ended December 31, are summarized in the following table (in thousands): |
|
| Years Ended December 31, | | | | | | | |
| 2014 | | 2013 | | 2012 | | | | | | | |
Commercial insurance (1) | $ | 418,414 | | $ | 415,408 | | $ | 409,114 | | | | | | | |
Medicare | | 157,923 | | | 156,066 | | | 122,971 | | | | | | | |
Medicaid | | 24,248 | | | 24,017 | | | 20,101 | | | | | | | |
Workers' compensation/personal injury | | 30,230 | | | 34,821 | | | 26,604 | | | | | | | |
Other | | 39,321 | | | 34,995 | | | 39,192 | | | | | | | |
Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts | | 670,136 | | | 665,307 | | | 617,982 | | | | | | | |
Provision for bad debts | | (29,807 | ) | | (27,911 | ) | | (25,904 | ) | | | | | | |
Net service fee revenue | | 640,329 | | | 637,396 | | | 592,078 | | | | | | | |
Revenue under capitation arrangements | | 77,240 | | | 65,590 | | | 55,075 | | | | | | | |
Total net revenue | $ | 717,569 | | $ | 702,986 | | $ | 647,153 | | | | | | | |
__________ |
(1) 20% of our net service fees revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were earned from a single payor. |
Provision for Bad Debts | PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS - We provide for an allowance against accounts receivable that could become uncollectible to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. We estimate this allowance based on the aging of our accounts receivable by each type of payer over an 18-month look-back period and other relevant factors. A significant portion of our provision for bad debt relates to co-payments and deductibles owed to us from patients with insurance. Although we attempt to collect deductibles and co-payments due from patients with insurance at the time of service, this attempt to collect at the time of service is not an assessment of the patient’s ability to pay nor are revenues recognized based on an assessment of the patient’s ability to pay. There are various factors that can impact collection trends, such as changes in the economy, which in turn have an impact on the increased burden of co-payments and deductibles to be made by patients with insurance. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collection trends and our estimation process. Our allowances for bad debts at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $15.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively. |
|
Meaningful Use Incentive | MEANINGFUL USE INCENTIVE - Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a program was enacted that provides financial incentives for providers that successfully implement and utilize electronic health record technology to improve patient care. Our software development team in Canada established an objective to build a Radiology Information System (RIS) software platform that has been awarded Meaningful Use certification. As this certified RIS system is implemented throughout our imaging centers, the radiologists that utilize this software can be eligible for the available financial incentives. In order to receive such incentive payments providers must attest that they have demonstrated meaningful use of the certified RIS in each stage of the program. We account for this meaningful use incentive under the Gain Contingency Model outlined in ASC 450-30. Under this model, we record within non-operating income, meaningful use incentive only after Medicare accepts an attestation from the qualified eligible professional demonstrating meaningful use. We recorded approximately $2.0 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 relating to this incentive. This amount was earned under a Medicare program to promote the use of electronic health record technology. Our compliance with meaningful use criteria is subject to audit by the federal government. |
Accounts Receivable | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers. We continuously monitor collections from our payors and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon specific payor collection issues that we have identified and our historical experience. |
|
Software Revenue Recognition | SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION – Our subsidiary, eRAD, Inc., sells Picture Archiving Communications Systems (“PACS”) and related services, primarily in the United States. The PACS systems sold by eRAD are primarily composed of certain elements: hardware, software, installation and training, and support. Sales are made primarily through eRAD’s sales force. These sales are multiple-element arrangements that generally include hardware, software, software installation, configuration, system installation, training and first-year warranty support. Hardware, which is not unique or special purpose, is purchased from a third-party and resold to eRAD’s customers with a small mark-up. |
|
We have determined that our core software products, such as PACS, are essential to most of our arrangements as hardware, software and related services are sold as an integrated package. Therefore, these transactions are accounted for under ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (as modified by ASU 2009-13). Non-essential software and related services, and essential software sold on a stand-alone basis without hardware, would continue to be accounted for under ASC 985-605, Software. |
|
We recognize revenue for four units of accounting, hardware, software, installation (including manufacturing and configuration, training, implementation and project management) and post-contract support (“PCS”), as follows: |
|
• | | Hardware – Revenue is recognized when the hardware is shipped. The hardware qualifies as a separate unit of accounting under ASC 605-25-25-5, as it meets the following criteria: | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
o | | The hardware has standalone value as it is sold separately by other vendors and the customer could resell the hardware on a standalone basis; and | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
o | | Delivery or performance of the undelivered items is probable and substantially within our control. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
• | | Software– We sell essential software. This software revenue is recognized along with the related hardware revenue. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
• | | Installation – Installation revenue related to essential software that is sold with hardware, is recognized when the installation is completed, as it qualifies as a separate unit of accounting once delivered as it can be provided by a third party. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
• | | Post-Contract Support – Revenue is recognized over the term of the agreement, usually one year. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|
Our transactions do not generally contain refund provisions. We allocate the transaction price to each unit of accounting using relative selling price. We consider historical pricing, list price and market considerations in determining estimated selling price in the allocation. |
|
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we recorded approximately $5.5 million, $4.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, in revenue related to our eRAD business which is included in net service fee revenue in our consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2014 we had a deferred revenue liability of approximately $1.9 million associated with eRAD sales which we expect to recognize into revenue over the next 12 months. |
|
Software Development Costs | SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Costs related to the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products all for resale to our customers are expensed as incurred. |
|
We utilize a variety of computerized information systems in the day to day operation of our diagnostic imaging facilities. One such system is our front desk patient tracking system or Radiology Information System (“RIS”). We have historically utilized third party RIS software solutions and pay monthly fees to outside third party software vendors for the use of this software. We have developed our own RIS solution from the ground up through our wholly owned subsidiary, Radnet Management Information Systems (“RMIS”) and expect to utilize this system beginning in the first quarter of 2015. |
|
By following the accounting guidance under ASC 350-40, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed for Internal Use, the costs incurred by RMIS toward the development of this RIS system, which began on August 1, 2010 and continued until December 2014, were capitalized and will be amortized over its useful life which we determined to be 5 years. Total costs capitalized were approximately $6.4 million. Amortization of $107,000 per month will start in January 2015. |
|
Concentration of Credit Risks | CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS - Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk are primarily cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We have placed our cash and cash equivalents with one major financial institution. At times, the cash in the financial institution is temporarily in excess of the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers. We continuously monitor collections from our clients and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon our historical collection experience. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents | CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - We consider all highly liquid investments that mature in three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair market value. |
|
Deferred Financing Costs | DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS - Costs of financing are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the associated loan, which approximates the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $6.7 million and $10.0 million, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As part of our early extinguishment of senior notes during March and April of 2014, approximately $3.4 million of deferred financing costs were written off. See Note 8, Notes Payable, Line of Credit, and Capital Leases for more information. |
|
Inventories | INVENTORIES - Inventories, consisting mainly of medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. |
Property and Equipment | PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized at the lesser of lease term or their estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter, which range from 3 to 30 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. |
|
Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangibles | GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE LIVED INTANGIBLES - Goodwill at December 31, 2014 totaled $200.3 million. Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets at December 31, 2014 totaled $7.5 million and are associated with the value of certain trade name intangibles. Goodwill and trade name intangibles are recorded as a result of business combinations. Management evaluates goodwill and trade name intangibles, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which uses comparable market data. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Impairment of trade name intangibles is tested at the subsidiary level by comparing the subsidiary’s trade name carrying amount to its respective fair value. We tested both goodwill and trade name intangibles for impairment on October 1, 2014, noting no impairment, and have not identified any indicators of impairment through December 31, 2014. |
|
Long-Lived Assets | LONG-LIVED ASSETS - We evaluate our long-lived assets (property and equipment) and intangibles, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset or in the case of assets we expect to sell, at fair value less costs to sell. No indicators of impairment were identified with respect to our long-lived assets as of December 31, 2014. |
|
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES - Income tax expense is computed using an asset and liability method and using expected annual effective tax rates. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in the financial reporting bases and the income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefit that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. When it appears more likely than not that deferred taxes will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its estimated realizable value. For net deferred tax assets we consider estimates of future taxable income in determining whether our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Income taxes are further explained in Note 11. |
|
Uninsured Risks | UNINSURED RISKS – Prior to November 1, 2006 we maintained a self-insured workers’ compensation insurance program for which our third party administrator over this program continues to make payments on behalf of the Company for claims incurred from November 1, 2004 through October 31, 2006. We are required to maintain a cash collateral account with this administrator as guarantee of our submission of full reimbursement of claims paid on our behalf. We record this collateral deposit as restricted cash and include it as other assets in our consolidated balance sheet which amounted to approximately $529,000 as of both December 31, 2014 and 2013. |
|
With respect to the above-mentioned claims incurred from November 1, 2004 through October 31, 2006, the estimated future cash obligation associated with the unpaid portion of those claims that remain open but have not yet been resolved is recorded to accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet. This current liability is determined by the administrator’s estimate of loss development of open claims and was approximately $103,000 and $123,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
On November 1, 2008 we obtained a fully funded and insured workers’ compensation policy, thereby eliminating any uninsured risks for employee injuries occurring on or after that date. This fully funded policy remained in effect through November 1, 2013 and continues to cover any claims incurred through this date. |
|
On November 1, 2013 we entered into an arrangement with a third party administrator to process claims under a new high-deductible workers’ compensation insurance program. We have recorded liabilities as of December 31, 2014, and 2013 of $1.0 million and $280,000 for the estimated future cash obligations associated with the unpaid portion of the workers compensation claims incurred. |
|
We and our affiliated physicians carry an annual medical malpractice insurance policy that protects us for claims that are filed during the policy year and that fall within policy limits. The policy has a deductible for which we have recorded liabilities and included it in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of approximately $88,000 and $95,000, respectively. |
|
In December 2008, in order to eliminate the exposure for claims not reported during the regular malpractice policy period, we purchased a medical malpractice tail policy, which provides coverage for any claims reported in the event that our medical malpractice policy expires. As of December 31, 2014, this policy remains in effect. |
|
We have entered into an arrangement with Blue Shield to administer and process claims under a self-insured plan that provides health insurance coverage for our employees and dependents. We have recorded liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $2.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the estimated future cash obligations associated with the unpaid portion of the medical and dental claims incurred by our participants. Additionally, we entered into an agreement with Blue Shield for a stop loss policy that provides coverage for any claims that exceed $250,000 up to a maximum of $1.0 million in order for us to limit our exposure for unusual or catastrophic claims. |
|
Loss and Other Unfavorable Contracts | LOSS AND OTHER UNFAVORABLE CONTRACTS – We assess the profitability of our contracts to provide management services to our contracted physician groups and identify those contracts where current operating results or forecasts indicate probable future losses. Anticipated future revenue is compared to anticipated costs. If the anticipated future cost exceeds the revenue, a loss contract accrual is recorded. In connection with the acquisition of Radiologix in November 2006, we acquired certain management service agreements for which forecasted costs exceeds forecasted revenue. As such, an $8.9 million loss contract accrual was established in purchase accounting, and is included in other non-current liabilities. The recorded loss contract accrual is being accreted into operations over the remaining term of the acquired management service agreements. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the remaining accrual balance is $6.1 million, and $6.4 million, respectively. |
|
As part of our ongoing acquisition activities, we have certain operating lease commitments for facilities that are not in use. Accordingly, we have recorded a loss contract accrual related to the remaining payments under these lease commitments. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the remaining loss contract accrual for these leases is $218,000 and $328,000, respectively. |
|
In addition and related to acquisition activity, we have certain operating lease commitments for facilities where the fair market rent differs from the lease contract rate. We have recorded an unfavorable contract liability representing the difference between the total value of the fair market rent and the contract rent over the current term of the lease applicable from the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the unfavorable contract liability on these leases is $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively. |
|
Equity Based Compensation | EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION – We have one long-term incentive plan which we refer to as the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2014, we have reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan 11,000,000 shares of common stock. Certain options granted under the 2006 Plan to employees are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under existing tax regulations. In addition, we may issue non-qualified stock options and warrants under the 2006 Plan from time to time to non-employees, in connection with acquisitions and for other purposes and we may also issue restricted stock under the 2006 Plan. Stock options and warrants generally vest over two to five years and expire five to ten years from date of grant. |
|
The compensation expense recognized for all equity-based awards is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized over the awards’ service periods. Equity-based compensation is classified in operating expenses within the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees. |
|
Foreign Currency Translation | FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting period. Any translation adjustments resulting from this process are shown separately as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income. |
|
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes rules for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components. Unrealized gains or losses on the change in fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedging activities and foreign currency translation adjustments are included in comprehensive income. The components of comprehensive income for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. |
|
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements are required to be disclosed within a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value. Accordingly, assets and liabilities carried at, or permitted to be carried at, fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy in one of the following categories based on the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement: |
|
Level 1—Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
|
Level 2—Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data. |
|
Level 3—Fair value is determined by using inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgment. |
|
The table below summarizes the estimated fair value and carrying amount of our long-term debt as follows (in thousands): |
|
| As of December 31, 2014 | |
| Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total Fair Value | | Total Face Value | |
First Lien Term Loans | $ | – | | $ | 394,753 | | $ | – | | $ | 394,753 | | $ | 399,750 | |
Second Lien Term Loans | | – | | | 178,200 | | | – | | | 178,200 | | | 180,000 | |
|
| As of December 31, 2013 | |
| Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | | Total Face Value | |
Senior Secured Term Loan | $ | – | | $ | 380,508 | | $ | – | | $ | 380,508 | | $ | 349,125 | |
Senior Notes | | – | | | 199,000 | | | – | | | 199,000 | | | 200,000 | |
|
The carrying value of our line of credit at December 31, 2014 of $15.3 million approximated its fair value. |
|
The estimated fair value of our long-term debt, which is discussed in Note 8, was determined using Level 2 inputs primarily related to comparable market prices. |
|
We consider the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, current liabilities and other notes payables to approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization or payment. Additionally, we consider the carrying amount of our capital lease obligations to approximate their fair value because the weighted average interest rate used to formulate the carrying amounts approximates current market rates. |
|
Earnings Per Share | EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding, net of common stock held in treasury, as follows (in thousands except share and per share data): |
|
| Years Ended December 31, | | | | | | | |
| 2014 | | 2013 | | 2012 | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Add nonvested restricted stock subject only to service vesting | | 994,610 | | | 316,905 | | | 533,014 | | | | | | | |
Add additional shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants | | 1,084,509 | | | 357,150 | | | 960,502 | | | | | | | |
Weighted average number of common shares used in calculating diluted net income per share | | 43,149,196 | | | 39,814,535 | | | 39,244,686 | | | | | | | |
Diluted net income per share attributable to RadNet, Inc. common stockholders | $ | 0.03 | | $ | 0.05 | | $ | 1.52 | | | | | | | |
|
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 we excluded 245,000, 4,663,750 and 3,825,000, respectively, outstanding options, warrants and restricted stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be antidilutive. |
|
Investment in Joint Ventures | INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES – We have ten unconsolidated joint ventures with ownership interests ranging from 31% to 50%. These joint ventures represent partnerships with hospitals, health systems or radiology practices and were formed for the purpose of owning and operating diagnostic imaging centers. Professional services at the joint venture diagnostic imaging centers are performed by contracted radiology practices or a radiology practice that participates in the joint venture. Our investment in these joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method. We evaluate our investment in joint ventures, including cost in excess of book value (equity method goodwill) for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. No indicators of impairment exist as of December 31, 2014. Investment in joint ventures increased approximately $3.2 million to $32.1 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $28.9 million at December 31, 2013. This increase is summarized as follows (in thousands): |
|
Balance as of December 31, 2013 | $ | 28,949 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchase of a 49% interest in a new joint venture (see note below) | | 2,168 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Equity contributions in existing joint ventures | | 1,394 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Equity in earnings in these joint ventures | | 6,970 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Distribution of earnings | | (7,358 | ) | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Balance as of December 31, 2014 | $ | 32,123 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|
On October 6, 2014, we acquired a 49% equity interest in Garden State Radiology, LLC, consisting of two multi-modality imaging centers located in New Jersey for cash consideration of $2.2 million. |
|
We received management service fees from the centers underlying these joint ventures of approximately $9.3 million, $9.3 million and $8.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We eliminate any unrealized portion of our management service fees with our equity in earnings of joint ventures. |
|
