Business Context and Reporting Period
Company: Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (Note: Metadata references Carecloud, Inc., but the filing text identifies the registrant as Medical Transcription Billing, Corp.)
Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: July 13, 2015
Event Date: July 10, 2015 (Closing Date)
Summary: The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with SoftCare Solutions, Inc. (a U.S. subsidiary of QHR Corporation) to acquire substantially all assets of SoftCare's clearinghouse, electronic data interchange (EDI), and billing divisions.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Terms
- Upfront Purchase Price: $21,888 (calculated as 5% of trailing twelve months revenue from acquired customers less closing adjustments of $38,127).
- Contingent Consideration (Revenue Share): 30% of gross fees earned and collected from acquired customers, payable semiannually for three years, conditioned on positive cash flow of the divisions.
- Long-term Consideration: After 36 months, the Company will pay 5% of gross fees earned from acquired customers during the 12-month period beginning on the second anniversary of the Closing Date.
- Assigned Receivables: Approximately $260,000 in receivables assigned by QHR; collectability is unknown. The Company agreed to pay QHR 50% of any collected amounts, subject to the positive cash flow condition.
- Financial Statements: This filing does not provide standalone revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity metrics for the Company or the acquired divisions.
Material Changes and Operational Impact
The primary material change is the expansion of the Company's operations through the acquisition of SoftCare's clearinghouse, EDI, and billing divisions. The APA includes covenants to transition specified employees of the divisions to the Company and restricts QHR from soliciting acquired customers or personnel for five years post-closing. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and grow the divisions.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Cash Flow Condition: Future payment obligations (both the 30% revenue share and the 50% share of collected receivables) are explicitly conditioned upon the divisions generating positive cash flow.
- Collectability Risk: The collectability of the approximately $260,000 in assigned receivables is unknown.
- Legal Disclaimer: The filing states that representations and warranties in the APA were for risk allocation purposes and should not be relied upon as facts by investors. Information regarding the subject matter may change after the APA date.
