Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements that we make from time to time, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to anticipated future events, future results of operations or future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” “goals,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, without limitation, statements reflecting management’s expectations for future financial performance and operating expenditures (including our ability to continue as a going concern, to raise additional capital and to succeed in our future operations), expected growth, profitability and business outlook, increased sales and marketing expenses, and the expected results from the integration of our acquisitions.

Forward-looking statements are only predictions, are uncertain and involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause our (or our industry’s) actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, the unknown risks and uncertainties that we believe could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements as set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020. 25, 2021. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements, including without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to:

 

 our ability to manage our growth, including acquiring, partnering with, and effectively integrating the recent acquisitions of Meridian Medical Management, CareCloud Corporation and other acquired businesses into our infrastructure and avoiding legal exposure and liabilities associated with acquired companies and assets;
   
 our ability to retain our clients and revenue levels, including effectively migrating new clients and maintaining or growing the revenue levels of our new and existing clients;
   
 our ability to maintain operations in our Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka in a manner that continues to enable us to offer competitively priced products and services;
   
 our ability to keep pace with a rapidly changing healthcare industry;
   
 our ability to consistently achieve and maintain compliance with a myriad of federal, state, foreign, local, payor and industry requirements, regulations, rules, laws and contracts;
   
 our ability to maintain and protect the privacy of confidential and protected Company, client and patient information;
   
 our ability to develop new technologies, upgrade and adapt legacy and acquired technologies to work with evolving industry standards and third-party software platforms and technologies, and protect and enforce all of these and other intellectual property rights;
   
 our ability to attract and retain key officers and employees, and the continued involvement of Mahmud Haq as Executive Chairman and Stephen SnyderA. Hadi Chaudhry as Chief Executive Officer and President, all of which are critical to our ongoing operations, growing our business and integrating of our newly acquired businesses;
   
 our ability to comply with covenants contained in our credit agreement with our senior secured lender, Silicon Valley Bank and other future debt facilities;
   
 our ability to pay our monthly preferred dividends to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock;
   
 our ability to compete with other companies developing products and selling services competitive with ours, and who may have greater resources and name recognition than we have;
   
 our ability to respond to the uncertainty resulting from the recent spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact it may have on our operations, the demand for our services, and economic activity in general; and
   
 our ability to keep and increase market acceptance of our products and services.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or performance.achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the U.S., we are under no duty to update or revise any of such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 8-03. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the results of operations for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 and cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20192020 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.25, 2021.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsOn February 14, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. These amendments provide financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify standard tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recorded. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payments by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with exceptions. Under this guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date, which may lower their cost and reduce volatility in the income statement. Awards to nonemployees are measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued, rather than the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be measured more reliably. Entities need to consider the probability that a performance condition will be satisfied when an award contains such condition. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU simplifies accounting for income taxes to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments consist of the removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 and some additional simplifications. The amendments are not required to be implemented until 2021effective for public entities. The Company is in the process of investigating if this update will have a significantbusiness entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.statements as a result of this standard.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).. This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The amendments are not required to be implemented until 2022 for public entities. The Company is in the process of investigating if this update will have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It will apply to all entities. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. This may result in the earlier recognition of credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which delays this standard’s effective date for SEC smaller reporting companies to the fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2022. The Company is in the process of investigating if this update will have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

7. leasesLEASES

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liability and non-current operating lease liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. Each time the Company acquires a business, the ROU assets and the lease liabilities are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. The Company does not have any finance leases.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

We use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, which are derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. For leases in existence at the adoption of ASC 842, we used the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. We give consideration to our bank financing arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

Our lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. For real estate leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Some leases include escalation clauses and termination options that are factored in the determination of the lease payments when appropriate.

If a lease is modified after the effective date, the operating lease ROU asset and liability is re-measured using the current incremental borrowing rate. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021, there were $466,000 of unoccupied lease charges for two of the Company’s facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were $64,000 of unoccupied lease charges and a lease impairment of approximately $683,000 $297,000was recorded since the Company is no longer using one of its leased facilities.

In February 2021, the Company was able to settle one of the lease obligations assumed in connection with the Meridian acquisition for an amount that approximated the remaining lease liability.

We lease all of our facilities and some equipment. Lease expense is included in direct operating costs and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the nature of the expense. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had 3840 leased properties, fivesix in Medical Practice Management and 3334 in Healthcare IT, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to five years.years. Our lease terms are determined taking into account lease renewal options, the Company’s anticipated operating plans and leases that are on a month-to-month basis. We also have some related party leases – see Note 9.

8. Commitments and ContingenciesCOMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings — On April 4, 2017, Randolph Pain Relief and Wellness Center (“RPRWC”) filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration”) seeking to arbitrate claims against MTBC,CareCloud, Inc. (“MTBC”CareCloud”) and MTBC Acquisition Corp. (“MAC”). The claims relate solely to services provided by Millennium Practice Management Associates, Inc. (“MPMA”), a subsidiary of MediGain, LLC, pursuant to a billing services agreement that contains an arbitration provision. MTBCCareCloud and MAC jointly moved in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Somerset County (the “Chancery Court”) to enjoin the Arbitration on the grounds that neither were a party to the billing services agreement. On May 30, 2018, the Chancery Court denied that motion and MTBCCareCloud and MAC appealed. The Chancery Court ordered the Arbitration stayed pending the appeal.

On April 23, 2019, the Appellate Division reversed the Chancery Court’s ruling that MTBCCareCloud is required to participate in the Arbitration and remanded the case for further proceedings before the Chancery Court on that issue. The Appellate Division upheld the Chancery Court’s ruling that MAC was required to participate in the Arbitration. The parties completed discovery in the remanded matter, and both MTBCCareCloud and RPRWC filed cross-motions for summary judgement in their favor. On February 6, 2020, the Chancery Court denied RPRWC’s motion for summary judgment and granted MTBC’sCareCloud’s motion for summary judgment, holding that MTBCCareCloud cannot be compelled to participate in the Arbitration. RPRWC has informed MTBCCareCloud that it does not intend to appeal the Chancery Court’s ruling and that it intends to move forward solely against MAC in the Arbitration. On March 25, 2020, the Chancery Court lifted the stay of arbitration relative to RPRWC and MAC.

Due to conflicting information provided by RPRWC, it is unclear what the extent of the claimed damages are in this matter which at this time appear to be entirely speculative. According to its arbitration demand, RPRWC seeks compensatory damages of six$6.6 million, six hundred thousand dollars, plus costs, for MPMA’s alleged breach of the billing services agreement.agreement. On June 12, 2020, in response to a directive from the arbitrator, RPRWC disclosed a statement of damages to MAC in which it increased its alleged damages from six$6.6 million six hundred thousand dollars and costs to twenty$20 million dollars and costs. On July 24, 2020, RPRWC disclosed a declaration to MAC, in which RPRWC estimates its damages to be approximately eleven$11 million dollars plus costs. MAC intends to vigorously defend against RPRWC’s claims. If RPRWC is successful in the Arbitration, MTBCCareCloud and MAC anticipate the award would be substantially less than the amount claimed.

Through the CCH transaction, we acquired CCH’s software technology and related business, of which certain elements were, at the time of the acquisition, subject to a civil investigation to determine pre-acquisition compliance with certain federal regulatory requirements. Following the closing of the transaction, the Company continued to cooperate with the inquiry as CCH had historically done since the commencement of the investigation in July of 2018. This element was considered as part of the transaction as $4 million of the transaction’s consideration was held in escrow for the resolution of this investigation. The Company accrued $4.2 million to resolve this investigation, of which up to $4 million is the escrow, which has been recorded as an indemnification asset which is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 in prepaid expenses and other current assets with an offsetting amount in accrued expenses. The Company settled the obligation in April 2021 substantially within the range covered by the escrowed funds.

From time to time, we may become involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Including the proceedings described above, we are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

10. REVENUE

11. REVENUE

Introduction

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All revenue is recognized as our performance obligations are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under ASC 606. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue whenbreaks a contract into distinctly identifiable performance obligations. Most of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation. For contracts where we provide multiple services, such as where we perform multiple ancillary services which are priced separately, each service represents its own performance obligation. Selling prices are based on the revenue cycle management services begincontractual price for the service, which approximates their standalone selling price.

Many technology-enabled business solutions are invoiced based on receipt of payment by the practices which are our clients, for medical billing claims which is generally upon receipt ofwhere the claim from the provider.provider utilized our software or where we submitted a claim. For revenue cycle management services,these solutions, the Company estimates the value of the consideration it will earn over the remaining contractual period as our services are provided and recognizes the fees over the term; this estimation involves predicting the amounts our clients will ultimately collect associated with the services they provided. The selling price of the Company’s services equals the contractual price. Certain significant estimates, such as payment-to-charge ratios, effective billing rates and the estimated contractual payment periods are required to measure revenue cycle management revenue under ASC 606.

Most of our current contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation. For contracts where we provide multiple services, such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, each service represents its own performance obligation. Selling prices are based on the contractual price for the service, which approximates the stand alone selling price.

We apply the portfolio approach as permitted by ASC 606 as a practical expedient to contracts with similar characteristics and we use estimates and assumptions when accounting for those portfolios. Our contracts generally include standard commercial payment terms. We have no significant obligations for refunds, warranties or similar obligations and our revenue does not include taxes collected from our customers.

Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We derive the majority of our revenue from eight primary sources:providing technology-enabled business solutions, including our integrated SaaS-based software platform and revenue cycle management services, SaaS solutions,services. In addition, we derive revenues from professional services, ancillary services, group purchasing services, printing and mailing services, and clearinghouse and EDI (electronic data interchange) services andmedical practice management services.

RevenueTechnology-enabled business solutions:

Most of our revenue comes from clients who are using subscription-based technology-enabled business solutions. These solutions typically include one or more elements of our proprietary cloud-based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform, along with revenue cycle management services:and related services.

Practice management software automates the labor-intensive workflow of a medical office in a unified and streamlined manner. EHR software allows our healthcare provider clients to deliver better patient care, document their clinical visits effectively and thus potentially qualify for government incentives, reduce documentation errors and reduce paperwork. Patient experience management software allows patients to schedule appointments, request refills, and view their electronic records online or via their mobile device. Business intelligence, robotic process automation, patient experience software, customized applications, interfaces and a variety of other technology solutions support our healthcare clients, either in conjunction with our practice management and EHR platform or through interfaces with third-party platforms. When these software elements are part of the technology-enabled business solution, they are normally included in a price, which is normally expressed as a percentage of the practice’s collections.

Revenue cycle management services are the recurring process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies in order for the healthcare providers to receive payment for the services they rendered. MTBC typicallyApproximately 81% of our revenue is derived from clients using one or more elements of our technology platform and approximately 19% comes from clients using our other services.

The Company invoices many customers on a monthly basis based on the actual collections received by its customers and the agreed-upon rate in the sales contract. The fee for these services include medical billing services and are often included with thetypically includes use of practice management software and related tools on(on a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) basis,SaaS basis), electronic health records on(on a SaaS basis,basis), medical billing services and use of mobile health solutions. Alternatively, SaaS fees may be fixed based on the number of providers, or may be variable based on usage. We consider the services to be one performance obligation since the promises are not distinct in the context of the contract. The performance obligation consists of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers.

In many cases, our clients may terminate their agreements with 90 days’ notice without cause, thereby limiting the term in which we have enforceable rights and obligations, although this time period can vary between clients. Our payment terms are normally net 30 days. Although our contracts typically have stated terms of one or more years, under ASC 606 our contracts are considered month-to-month and accordingly, there is no financing component.

20

For the majority of our revenue cycle management contracts, the total transaction price is variable because our obligation is to process an unknown quantity of claims, as and when requested by our customers over the contract period. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimates to determine variable consideration such as payment to charge ratios, effective billing rates, and the estimated contractual payment periods are updated at each reporting date. Revenue is recognized over the performance period using the input method.

SaaS Solutions:

Some of the Company’s SaaS solutions were initially developed by CareCloud and Meridian, both of which were acquired during 2020.

The Company’s SaaS solutions which were initially developed and sold by CareCloud include Central, Complete and Breeze. Central is a SaaS subscription service for healthcare practice management. Complete is a SaaS subscription service that combines healthcare practice management with electronic health records. Breeze is a SaaS subscription service providing patient registration and intake solutions.

The Company’s SaaS solutions which were initially developed and sold by Meridian include VertexDr, Precision BI and Microbots. VertexDr is one of the only fully-integrated electronic medical record and practice management systems encompassing appointment scheduling, practice management, electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS), customizable electronic health records, mobile functionality, and automation. Precision BI provides powerful insight into both clinical and financial performance so healthcare providers can optimize revenue, increase productivity and improve patient care. RPA is an industry term for software tools that help automate routine tasks to make them more reliable and efficient. Meridian’s RPA solution, Microbots, are digital assistants that replace mundane, repetitive processes, allowing organizations scalability and increased productionIncluded in a HIPAA compliant environment.

Under the Company’s SaaS solutions, the Company derives revenue primarily from recurringtechnology-enabled business subscription fees. The Company typically invoices customers on a monthly basis based on an agreed-upon rate in the sales contract. The Company considers all these services to be one performance obligation since the promises are not distinct in the context of the contract. The performance obligation consists of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to customers. Recurring business subscription fees may also include amounts charged to the customer for patient statements and for other services for which reimbursement is based on a fixed fee per patient visit and recognized as revenue as the related services are performed.

Payment terms for the above SaaS solutions are normally between seven and thirty days. Although the contracts typically have stated terms of one or more years, under ASC 606, contracts are considered month-to-month and accordingly, there is no financing component.

Professional services:

These services include training, implementation, data conversion, data migration and ongoing support.

For all of the above revenue streams, revenue is recognized over time, which is typically one month or less, which closely matches the point in time that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. Each service is substantially the same and has the same periodic pattern of transfer to the customer. Each of the services provided above is considered a separate performance obligation.

MTBC also provides implementation and professional services to certain customers and records revenue monthly on a time and materials or a fixed rate basis. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as the implementation or professional services are rendered.

Other revenue streams:

Ancillary services representancillary services such as coding, credentialing and transcription that are rendered in connection with the delivery of revenue cycle management and related medical services. The Company invoices customers monthly, based on the actual amount of services performed at the agreed upon rate in the contract. These services are only offered to revenue cycle management customers. These services do not represent a material right because the services are optional to the customer and customers electing these services are charged the same price for those services as if they were on a standalone basis. Each individual coding, credentialing or transcriptionancillary service transaction processed represents a performance obligation, which is satisfied over time as that individual service is rendered.

Also included in technology-enabled business solutions are medical billing clearinghouse services which takes claim information from customers, checks the claims for errors and sends this information electronically to insurance companies. The Company invoices customers on a monthly basis based on the number of claims submitted and the agreed-upon rate in the agreement. This service is provided to medical practices and providers to medical practices who are not revenue cycle management customers. The performance obligation is satisfied once the relevant submissions are completed.

Professional services:

The Company provides implementation and professional services to certain customers and records revenue monthly on a time and materials or a fixed rate basis. These services consist of implementation, advisory and on demand staffing. This is a separate performance obligation from any revenue cycle management and SaaS services provided, for which the Company receives and records monthly fees. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as the professional services are rendered.

Substantially all of the professional services obligations consist of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers, Revenue is recognized over time.

Other revenue streams:

The Company provides printing and mailing services for both technology-enabled business solutions and a customer that does not utilize our technology-enabled business solutions, and invoices on a monthly basis based on the number of prints, the agreed-upon rate per print and the postage incurred. The performance obligation is satisfied once the printing and mailing is completed.

The Company also provides group purchasing services which enable medical providers to purchase various vaccines directly from selected pharmaceutical companies at a discounted price. Currently, there are approximately 4,000 medical providers who are members of the program. Revenue is recognized as the vaccine shipments are made to the medical providers. Referral feesFees from the pharmaceutical companies are paid to MTBC either quarterly or annually and the Company adjusts its revenue accrual at the time of payment. The Company makes significant judgments regarding the variable consideration which we expect to be entitled to for the group purchasing services which includes the anticipated shipments to the members enrolled in the program, anticipated volumes of purchases made by the members, and the changes in the number of members. The amounts recorded are constrained by estimates of decreases in shipments and loss of members to avoid a significant revenue reversal in the subsequent period. The only performance obligation is to provide the pharmaceutical companies with the medical providers who want to become members in order to purchase vaccines. The performance obligation is satisfied once the medical provider agrees to purchase a specific quantity of vaccines and the medical provider’s information is forwarded to the vaccine suppliers. The Company records a contract asset for revenue earned and not paid as the ultimate payment is conditioned on achieving certain volume thresholds.

21

The Company provides printing and mailing services for both revenue cycle management customers and a large non-revenue cycle management customer, and invoices on a monthly basis based on the number of prints, the agreed-upon rate per print and the postage incurred. The performance obligation is satisfied once the printing and mailing is completed.

The medical billing clearinghouse service takes claim information from customers, checks the claims for errors and sends this information electronically to insurance companies. MTBC invoices customers on a monthly basis based on the number of claims submitted and the agreed-upon rate in the agreement. This service is provided to medical practices and providers to medical practices who are not revenue cycle management customers. The performance obligation is satisfied once the relevant submissions are completed.

For all of the above revenue streams other than group purchasing services and printing and mailing, revenue is recognized over time, which is typically one month or less, which closely matches the point in time that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. For the group purchasing services, revenue is recognized at a point in time. Other than the group purchasing services, each of the Company’s services areEach service is substantially the same and havehas the same periodic pattern of transfer to the customer. Each serviceof the services provided by the Companyabove is considered a separate performance obligation.

PracticeMedical practice management services:

The Company also provides medical practice management services under long-term management service agreements to three medical practices. We provide the medical practices with the nurses, administrative support, facilities, supplies, equipment, marketing, RCM, accounting, and other non-clinical services needed to efficiently operate their practices. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided to the medical practices. Revenue recorded in the consolidated statements of operations represents the reimbursement of costs paid by the Company for the practices and the management fee earned each month for managing the practice. The management fee is based on either a fixed fee or a percentage of the net operating income.

The Company assumes all financial risk for the performance of the managed medical practices. Revenue is impacted by the amount of the costs incurred by the practices and their operating income. The gross billing of the practices is impacted by billing rates, changes in current procedural terminology code reimbursement and collection trends which in turn impacts the management fee that the Company is entitled to. Billing rates are reviewed at least annually and adjusted based on current insurer reimbursement practices. The performance obligation is satisfied as the management services are provided.

Our contracts for medical practice management services have approximately an additional 20 years remaining and are only cancellable under very limited circumstances. The Company receives a management fee each month for managing the day-to-day business operations of each medical group as a fixed fee or a percentage payment of the net operating income which is included in revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our medical practice management services obligations consist of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers. Revenue is recognized over time; however, for reporting and convenience purposes, the management fee is computed at each month end.

Information about contract balances:

The contract assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets represent the revenue associated with the amounts we estimate our revenue cycle management clients will ultimately collect associated with the services they have provided and the relative fee we charge associated with thoseif our charges are based on a percentage of collections, together with amounts related to the group purchasing services. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to the remaining revenue cycle management performance obligations outstanding was approximately $3.5 $4.1 million. We expect to recognize substantially all of the revenue for the remaining performance obligations over the next three months. Approximately $600,000 $315,000 of the contract asset represents revenue earned, not paid, from the group purchasing services. Approximately $1.0 million of the contract asset represents revenue for professional services performed, not yet invoiced to the customer.

Accounts receivable are shown separately at their net realizable value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts that we are entitled to collect under the applicable contract are recorded as accounts receivable. Invoicing is performed at the end of each month when the services have been provided. The contract asset results from our revenue cycle management services and is due to the timing of revenue recognition, submission of claims from our customers and payments from the insurance providers. The contract asset includes our right to payment for services already transferred to a customer when the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. For example, contracts for revenue cycle management services where we recognize revenue over time but do not have a contractual right to payment until the customer receives payment of their claim from the insurance provider. The contract asset also includes the revenue accrued, not received, for the group purchasing services and revenue earned, not invoiced, for professional services.

22

The contract asset was approximately $4.1$5.5 million and $2.7$3.4 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. Changes in the contract asset are recorded as adjustments to net revenue. The changes primarily result from providing services to revenue cycle management customers that result in additional consideration and are offset by our right to payment for services becoming unconditional and changes in the revenue accrued for the group purchasing services. The contract asset for our group purchasing services is reduced when we receive payments from vaccine manufacturers and is increased for revenue earned, not received. The contract asset for professional services is reduced when the customer is invoiced and is increased as services are rendered. Deferred revenue represents sign-up fees received from customers that are amortized over three years. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, contract asset and deferred revenue are as follows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019:2020:

Deferred commissions:

Our sales incentive plans include commissions payable to employees and third parties at the time of initial contract execution that are capitalized as incremental costs to obtain a contract. The capitalized commissions are amortized over the period the related services are transferred. As we do not offer commissions on contract renewals, we have determined the amortization period to be the estimated client life which is three years for contracts entered into by MTBC and four years for contracts entered into by CareCloud.CCH. Deferred commissions were approximately $870,000$1.0 million and $44,000$836,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and are included in the other assets amounts in the condensed consolidated balancesheets.

11. 12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In April 2014, the Company adopted the Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), reserving 1,351,000 shares of common stock for grants to employees, officers, directors and consultants. During 2017, the 2014 Plan was amended and restated whereby an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock were added to the plan for future issuance. The 2014 Plan was amended and restated on April 14, 2017 (the “Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan”). During 2018, an additional 200,000 of preferred shares were added to the plan for future issuance. In May 2020, an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock and 300,000 shares of Preferred Stock were added to the plan for future issuance. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, 1,706,2832021, 1,329,267 shares of common stock and 374,881327,909 shares of Preferred Stock are available for grant. Permissible awards include incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, performance stock and cash-settled awards and other stock-based awards in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors including unrestricted stock grants.

23

The equity-based RSUs contain a provision in which the units shall immediately vest and become converted into common shares at the rate of one share per RSU, immediately after a change in control, as defined in the award agreement. The preferred stock RSUs contain a similar provision, which vest and convert to Preferred Stock upon a change in control.

Common and preferred stock RSUs

In January 2020,2021, the Compensation Committee approved executive bonuses to be paid in shares of Preferred Stock, with the number of shares and the amount based on specified criteria being achieved during the year 2020.2021. The actual amount will be settled in early 20212022 based on the achievement of the specified criteria. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, an expense of approximately $900,000,$450,000, was recorded for these bonuses based on the value of the shares at the grant date and recognized over the service period. The portion of the stock compensation expense to be used for the payment of withholding and payroll taxes is included in accrued compensation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balance of the stock compensation expense has been recorded as additional paid-in capital.

The following table summarizes the RSU transactions related to the common and preferred stock under the Equity Incentive Plan for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019:2020:

12. 13.INCOME TAXES

The income tax provisionexpense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was approximately $62,000,$213,000, comprised of a current tax expense of $55,000 $51,000 and a deferred tax expense of $7,000.$162,000. The income tax expense for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was approximately $18,000,$212,000, comprised of a current tax expense of $111,000 $86,000 and a deferred tax benefitexpense of $93,000.$126,000. The deferred tax expense is not anticipated to result in a cash payment.

The current income tax provision for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 primarily relates to state minimum taxes and foreign income taxes. The deferred tax provision (benefit) for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 20192020 relates to the book and tax difference of amortization on indefinite-lived intangibles, primarily goodwill. To the extent allowable, the federal deferred tax provision has been offset by the indefinite life net operating loss.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. Several new corporate tax provisions were included in the CARES Act, including, but not limited to, the following: increasing the limitation threshold for determining deductible interest expense, class life changes to qualified improvements (in general - from 39 years to 15 years), and the ability to carry back net operating losses incurred from tax years 2018 through 2020 up to the five preceding tax years.The Company has evaluated the income tax provisions of the CARES Act and determined the impact to be either immaterial or not applicable. Under the CARES Act, the Company took advantage of the payroll tax deferral provision. As of Septemberboth June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has deferred approximately $1.3 $1.9 million of payroll taxes. Of this amount, one-half needs to be repaid by December 31, 2021 and the balance by December 31, 2022.

The Company has incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the Federal and state deferred tax assets as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

13. 14.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Fair value measurements-Level 2

Our notes payable are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged approximate market rates. As a result, the Company categorizes these borrowings as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Contingent Consideration

The Company’s contingent consideration of $500,000 as of September 30, 2020 is a Level 3 liability. During the third quarter, the Company determined that $500,000 of contingent consideration previously recorded would not be earned by the seller and was reversed. The Company based this amount on a review of current revenue levels, including potential revenue from existing customers, the amount of customer backlog and an estimate of new customer activity. The remaining fair value of the contingent consideration at September 30, 2020 wasis primarily driven by changes in revenue estimates related to the Company’s acquisitions, the passage of time and the associated discount rate. As of June 30, 2021, the contingent consideration is approximately $6.5 million and relates to medSR.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the contingent consideration measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Both our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman serve as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), organize the Company, manage resource allocations and measure performance among two2 operating and reportable segments: (i) Healthcare IT and (ii) Medical Practice Management.

The Healthcare IT segment includes revenue cycle management, SaaS solutions and other services. The Medical Practice Management segment includes the management of three medical practices. Each segment is considered a reporting unit. The CODM evaluates financial performance of the business units on the basis of revenue and direct operating costs excluding unallocated amounts, which are mainly corporate overhead costs. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.25, 2021. The following tables present revenues, operating expenses and operating (loss) income by reportable segment:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, and other factors that are expected to affect our prospective financial condition. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes beginning on page 34 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Some of the statements set forth in this section are forward-looking statements relating to our future results of operations. Our actual results may vary from the results anticipated by these statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, SARS-CoV-2, and the resulting disease COVID-19, has spread to most countries, and all 50 states within the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Further, the former President of the United States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency, invoking powers under the Stafford Act, the legislation that directs federal emergency disaster response, and under the Defense Production Act, the legislation that facilitates the production of goods and services necessary for national security and for other purposes. Numerous governmental jurisdictions, including the State of New Jersey where we maintain our principal executive offices, and those in which many of our U.S. and international offices are based, have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Most states and the federal government, including the State of New Jersey, together with foreign jurisdictions in which we have operations centers, have declared a state of emergency related to the spread of COVID-19.

While the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial results and operations induring the Company’s three quarterssix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, economic and health conditions in the United States and across most of the globe have changed rapidly since the end of the quarter.continue to change. The Company has expanded its telehealth operations, which is an alternative to office visits. However, not all physicians are using telehealth and not to the same extent as previous office visits.

The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the Company’s operations in the third quarter,2021, and may continue to do so indefinitely thereafter. The pandemic may have an impact on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including, without limitation, impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, its operations, marketing and sales activities, and on the overall economy. The spread of the virus did not adversely affect the health and availability of our employees and staff. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and the outcomes are uncertain.

Due to the above circumstances and as described generally in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three and ninesix months period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Company is not aware of any certain event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgements or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates could change in the future as new information about future developments is obtained. Management cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s consolidated operations nor on economic conditions generally, including the effects on patient visits. The ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company is highly uncertain and will depend on highly unpredictable factors such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the severity of the disease, the duration of outbreak, and the effectiveness of any further developments globally and nationally. The Company will actively monitor the situation and take further action that is in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners, and stockholders. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below for additional details.

In April 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the RCM business of Etransmedia Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together “Etransmedia”) through MTBC’s wholly owned subsidiary MTBC-Med, Inc. The Etransmedia acquisition added additional clients to the Company’s customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions, broadened the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff. The Company paid $1.6 million in cash for the acquisition.

On January 8, 2020, through a merger with a subsidiary, the Company acquired CareCloud Corporation, a Delaware corporation which was subsequently renamed CareCloud Health, Inc (“CareCloud”CCH”), which has developed a highly acclaimed cloud-based platform including EHR, PM and patient experience capabilities. The Company paid $11.9 million in cash, assumed a working capital deficiency of approximately $5.1 million and issued 760,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and two million warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at prices of $7.50 for two years and $10.00 per share for three years.

On June 16, 2020, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Meridian Billing Management Co. and its affiliate Origin Holdings, Inc. (collectively “Meridian” and sometimes referred to as “Meridian Medical Management”), a former GE Healthcare IT company that delivers advanced healthcare information technology solutions and services. The Company paid $15$11.9 million in cash, issued 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 2,250,000 of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price per share of $7.50 for two years and assumed Meridian’s negative working capital and certain long-term lease liabilities where the space is either not being utilized or will be vacated shortly, with an aggregate value of approximately $4.8 million.

On June 1, 2021, CareCloud Acquisition Corp (“CAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary entered into an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MedMatica Consulting Associates, Inc., (“MedMatica”) whereby CAC purchased the assets of MedMatica and the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary Santa Rosa Staffing, Inc. (“SRS”). MedMatica and SRS provide a broad range of specialty consulting services to hospitals and large healthcare groups, including certain consulting services related to healthcare IT applications services and implementations, practice management, and revenue cycle management. The total consideration paid at closing was $10 million in cash, net of $1.5 million of escrow withheld. A working capital adjustment of approximately $3.8 million was also paid at closing. The Purchase Agreement provides that if during the 18-month period commencing on June 1, 2021 (“the “Earn-Out Period”), CAC’s EBITDA and revenue targets are achieved, then CAC shall pay an earn-out up to a maximum of $8 million (the “Base Earn-Out”). If during the Earn-Out Period, CAC’s additional and increased EBITDA and revenue targets are achieved, then CAC shall pay an additional earn-out, up to a maximum of $5 million (the “Additional Earn-Out”, collectively, with the Base Earn-Out, the “Earn-Out”). CAC will have the right to offset the Earn-Out against any claim for which CAC is entitled to indemnification under the Purchase Agreement and against damages for breaches by the seller of the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in the Purchase Agreement.

Our offshore operations in the Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka accounted for approximately 10% and 14%11% of total expenses for both the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019, respectively.2020. A significant portion of those foreign expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 80% and 78% for both the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019, respectively)2020). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan and Sri Lanka than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our offshore operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry participants. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions asand leverage technology to reduce manual work and strategically transition a portion of the remaining manual tasks to our highly-specialized, cost-efficient team in the U.S., the Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka.

Key Performance Measures

We consider numerous factors in assessing our performance. Key performance measures used by management, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, are non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, and we provide reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share provide an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that an investor’s understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these adjusted performance measures.

29

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following elements which are included in GAAP net income (loss):

Income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
Interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on principal payments, on our debt;
Foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenditures;
Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards and the related taxes, based on changes in the stock price;
Depreciation and amortization charges;
Integration costs, such as severance amounts paid to employees from acquired businesses, and transaction costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees and exit costs related to contractual agreements; and
Restructuring, impairmentImpairment and unoccupied lease charges; and
Changes in contingent consideration.charges.

Key Metrics

In addition to the line items in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we regularly review the following metrics. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends in our business.

31

Providers and Practices Served: As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we provided services to an estimated universe of more than40,000 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 2,700 2,600 independent medical practices and hospitals. In addition, we served approximately 200 clients who were not medical practices, but are service organizations who serve the healthcare community. The foregoing numbers include clients leveraging any of our products or services and are based in part upon estimates in cases where the precise number of practices or providers is unknown.

Sources of Revenue

 

Revenue: We primarily derive our revenues from revenue cycle management services and bundled services,subscription-based technology-enabled business solutions, reported in our Healthcare IT segment, which isare typically billed as a percentage of payments collected by our customers. This fee includes RCM, as well as the ability to use our EHR, and practice management system and other software as part of the bundled fee. These bundled fees are included in revenue cycle management revenue. These servicessolutions accounted for approximately 64% 80% and 83% of our revenues during both the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 2019,83% and 61% and 67%82% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019, respectively. Software-as-a-service fees, for clients not utilizing revenue cycle management services, accounted for approximately 12% and 15% of revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Other Healthcare IT services, including printing and mailing operations, group purchasing and professional services, represented approximately 12% and 13%5% of revenuesrevenues for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and 11% 8% and 12%5% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively.

We earned approximately 11% 8% and 23%12% of our revenue from medical practice management services during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 2019,9% and 12% and 21%13% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively.respectively. This revenue represents fees based on our actual costs plus a percentage of the operating profit and is reported in our Medical Practice Management segment.

Operating Expenses

 

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating cost consists primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our customers, claims processing costs, costs to operate the three managed practices, including facility lease costs, supplies, insurance and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, commissions, travel and advertising expenses.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, facility lease costs and insurance, software license fees and outside professional fees.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs and third-party contractor costs.

Contingent Consideration. Contingent consideration represents the portion of consideration payable to the sellers of some of our acquisitions, the amount of which is based on the achievement of defined performance measures contained in the purchase agreements. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation expense is charged using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets ranging from three to tenfive years. Amortization expense is charged on either an accelerated or on a straight-line basis over a period of three or four years for most intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions including those intangibles related to the group purchasing services. Amortization expense related to the value of our medical practice management clients is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of twelve years.

Restructuring, Impairment and Unoccupied Lease Charges. Restructuring charges represent the remaining lease costs for a facility no longer used by the Company as the employees were transferred to another Company facility. Impairment charges represent charges recorded for a leased facility no longer being used by the Company. Company and a non-cancellable vendor contract where the services are no longer being used.

32

Unoccupied lease charges represent the portion of lease and related costs for vacant space not being utilized by the Company. The Company is marketing both the unused facility and the unused space for sub-lease.

Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our line of credit, term loans and amounts due in connection with acquisitions, offset by interest income. Other income (expense) results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains (losses) and income earned from temporary cash investments.

Income Tax. In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred losses historically and there is uncertainty regarding future U.S. taxable income, which makes realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Report are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Leases:

We adopted ASU 2016-02: Leases (Topic 842) as of January 1, 2019. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liability (current portion) and operating lease liability (noncurrent portion) in ourthe condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets at SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not have any finance leases.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

We use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, which are derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to bank financing arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

Our lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. For real estate leases, we account for the leased and non-leased components as a single lease component. Some leases include escalation clauses and termination options that are factored into the determination of the future lease payments when appropriate.

Capitalized software costs:

All of our software is considered internal use for accounting purposes, as we do not market or sell our software. As a result, we capitalize certain costs associated with the creation of internally-developed software for internal use. The total of these costs is recorded in Intangible assets - net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We capitalized costs incurred during the application development stage related to our internal use software. Costs incurred during the application development phase are capitalized only when we believe it is probable that the development will result in new or additional functionality. The types of costs capitalized during the application development phase consist of employee compensation, employee benefits and employee stock- based compensation. Costs related to the preliminary project stage and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life when the asset has been placed in service for general availability.

33

Significant judgments related to internally-developed software include determining whether it is probable that projects will result in new or additional functionality; concluding on when the application development phase starts and ends; and deciding which costs, especially employee compensation costs, should be capitalized. Additionally, there is judgment applied to the useful lives of capitalized software; we have concluded that the useful lives for capitalized internally-developed software is three years.

Company management employs its best estimates and assumptions in determining the appropriateness of the judgments noted above on a project-by-project basis during initial capitalization as well as subsequent measurement. While we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments is reasonable, actual results could differ, and such differences could lead to an increase or decrease in expense.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021 and December 31, 20192020, the carrying amounts of internally-developed capitalized software was $8.68.2 millionand $538,000,$5.5 million, respectively. The increase in the capitalized software costs was primarily due torepresents the CareCloud and Meridian acquisitions.continued investment in proprietary technology.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.25, 2021.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and herein are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or future results.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth could be harmed by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are subject to risks related to the public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with the coronavirus (COVID-19). In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, SARS-CoV-2, and the resulting disease COVID-19, has spread to most countries, and all 50 states within the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Further, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency, invoking powers under the Stafford Act, the legislation that directs federal emergency disaster response, and under the Defense Production Act, the legislation that facilitates the production of goods and services necessary for national security and for other purposes. Numerous governmental jurisdictions, including the State of New Jersey where we maintain our principal executive offices, and those in which many of our U.S. and international offices are based, have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Most states and the federal government, including the State of New Jersey, together with foreign jurisdictions in which we have operations centers, have declared a state of emergency related to the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions, and the perception that such orders or restrictions could occur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions and cancellation of events, among other effects, thereby negatively impacting our customers, employees, and offices, among others. We may experience further limitations on employee resources in the future, including because of sickness of employees or their families. These challenges have been, and are anticipated to continue being, particularly difficult to manage in foreign jurisdictions in which we have offices due to, among other things, a reduced ability to enable efficient and secure work-from-home.

Health care organizations around the world, including our health care provider customers, have faced and will continue to face, substantial challenges in treating patients with COVID-19, such as the diversion of staff and resources from ordinary functions to the treatment of COVID-19, supply, resource and capital shortages and overburdening of staff and resource capacity. In the United States, governmental authorities have also recommended, and in certain cases required, that elective, specialty and other procedures and appointments, including certain primary care services, be suspended or canceled to avoid non-essential patient exposure to medical environments and potential infection with COVID-19 and to focus limited resources and personnel capacity toward the treatment of COVID-19. These measures and challenges will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and will disproportionately harm the results of operations, liquidity and financial condition of these health care organizations and our health care provider customers. As a result, our health care provider customers may seek contractual accommodations from us in the future. To the extent such health care provider customers experience challenges and difficulties, it will adversely affect our business operation and results of operations. We note, for example, that approximately 64% of our revenue is directly tied to the cash collected by our health care provider customers, which means that our short-term revenue has and is expected to decline as less patients visit their doctors during periods of social distancing. Further, a recession or prolonged economic contraction as a result of COVID-19 pandemic could also harm the business and results of operations of our enterprise customers, resulting in potential business closures, layoffs of employees and a significant increase in unemployment in the United States and elsewhere which may continue even after the pandemic. The occurrence of any such events may lead to reduced income for customers and reduced size of workforces, which could reduce our revenue and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The widespread COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant volatility and uncertainty in U.S and international financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock and Preferred Stock.

Further, given the dislocation and government-imposed travel related limitations as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to complete acquisitions in the near-term may be delayed. Future acquisitions may be subject to difficulties in evaluating potential acquisition targets as a result of the inability to accurately predict the duration or long-term economic and business consequences resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, any difficulties we may experience in connection with the integration of CareCloud or Meridian could delay or prevent us from realizing such expected benefits and enhancing our business, and our business, financial condition and results of operation could be materially and adversely impacted. While we are working diligently to accelerate integration activities, the employee disruptions and communication challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic present particular challenges to our integration of CareCloud and Meridian and could make it difficult to effectively and timely complete our integration goals.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. We have taken steps intended to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and to protect our global workforce including, but not limited to: moving a significant portion of our workforce to remote operations, enacting social distancing and hygiene guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization at our offices, and discontinuing company travel and events, among others. Although we believe we have taken the appropriate actions, we cannot guarantee that these measures will mitigate all or any negative effects of the pandemic. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We cannot at this time precisely predict what effects the COVID-19 outbreak will have on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the pandemic and the governmental responses to the pandemic. However, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.

In addition, given the inherent uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 due to rapidly changing governmental directives, public health challenges and economic disruption and the duration of the foregoing, the potential impact that COVID-19 could have on the Risk Factors described in Part I—Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020, remain unclear.
