Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent management’s current expectations regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of its control. The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report are based on information as of the date of this Annual Report. Many of these forward-looking statements relate to future industry trends, actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated initiatives and the outcome of contingencies and other uncertainties that may have a significant impact on our business, future operating results and liquidity. Whenever possible, we identify these statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “forecast,” “project” and similar expressions for future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” etc.). We caution you that these statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements and our actual results, developments and business are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those anticipated by these statements. By identifying these statements for you in this manner, we are alerting you to the possibility that actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events, except as required by law. Many factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements including, among others, those discussed under “Risk Factors,” in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 and those described elsewhere in this Annual Report and from time to time in future reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART I

 

Item 1. Business

As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “Holdings,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to USMD Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Holdings”), unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.

Background

On August 31, 2012, USMD Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, combined with the following five business entities to form a single physician-led integrated health system (such transaction “the Contribution”) based in North Texas: USMD Inc., a Texas corporation (“USMD”), Urology Associates of North Texas, L.L.P., a Texas limited liability partnership (“UANT”), UANT Ventures, L.L.P., a Texas limited liability partnership (“Ventures”), The Medical Clinic of North Texas, P.A., a Texas professional association (“MCNT”) and Impel Management Services, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (“Impel”). For accounting purposes, the Contribution qualifies as a business combination and was accounted for as a reverse acquisition by USMD into Holdings. Before the Contribution, Holdings was a business combination related shell company. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the financial statements are issued in the name of the legal parent (Holdings) but represent a continuation of the accounting acquirer’s (USMD) financial statements, with an adjustment to retroactively restate USMD’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of Holdings.

The Business of Holdings

The Contribution created an innovative early-stage physician-led integrated health system committed to maintaining the vital doctor-patient relationship that we believe results in higher quality and more affordable patient care. An integrated health system is considered early-stage when it has not yet established all the components necessary to be considered a fully integrated health system. Our focus and the focus of our healthcare providers is to deliver higher quality, more convenient, cost effective healthcare to our patients. We believe that our model brings primary care and specialist physicians together and places them in their proper role as leaders of healthcare delivery and that this important shift brings quality and patient satisfaction back to the forefront where it belongs by making our providers responsible for patient outcomes and the overall clinical experience.

As of September 1, 2012, Holdings, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, provides healthcare services to patients and management and operational services to healthcare providers. We operate in one physician-led integrated health system segment and provide healthcare services to patients in physician clinics, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, including cancer treatment centers and anatomical pathology and clinical laboratories. A wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings is the sole member of a Texas Certified Non-Profit Healthcare Organization that owns and operates a multi-specialty physician group practice (“USMD Physician Services”) in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area. Through other wholly owned subsidiaries, we provide management and operational services to two short-stay hospitals (in Arlington, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas) and provide management and/or operational services to six cancer treatment centers in five states and 21 lithotripsy service providers (i.e., kidney stone treatment) primarily located in the South-Central United States.

Where we provide management or operational services, we generally have an ownership interest in the healthcare provider entity being managed. Of the managed entities identified above, we have ownership interests in both hospitals, two cancer treatment centers and 20 lithotripsy service providers and we wholly own one cancer treatment center and one lithotripsy service provider. In addition, we wholly own and operate two clinical laboratories and one anatomical pathology laboratory in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area. We have an ownership interest in one cancer treatment center that we don’t manage. As of December 31, 2013, we employed 212 physicians and 52 associate practitioners with Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Urology and 13 other medical specialties.

In April 2013, a subsidiary of Holdings became an equal co-member of a Texas non-profit corporation (“WNI-DFW”) that has been approved by the Texas Medical Board as a certified non-profit healthcare organization. WNI-DFW has a contractual arrangement to manage patient care by providing or arranging for the provision of all the necessary healthcare services for a health plan’s given Medicare Advantage patient population in the North Texas area served by WNI-DFW. Pursuant to the arrangement, WNI-DFW receives a fixed fee per patient under what is typically known as a “risk contract.” Risk contracting, or full risk capitation, refers to a model where we receive from the third party payer a fixed payment per member per month (“pmpm”) for a defined patient population to manage the healthcare of that population. In such a model, we are responsible for all cost of care of the population. The entity accomplishes this by managing patient care and by contracting with downstream healthcare providers to provide needed healthcare services for the patient population. This differs from the fee-for-service model where we are paid based on specific services performed. We consolidate the operations of WNI-DFW.

USMD Physician Services forms the core of the physician-led early-stage integrated health system based on a physician-centric approach to managing an individual’s health and associated healthcare. Our primary care physicians employ the principles of patient-centered medical home, value based care and population management. The primary care physician group practice was one of the first in North Texas to achieve National Committee for Quality Assurance (“NCQA”) Level III recognition in Patient Centered Medical Home. Many of our primary care physicians have been reaccredited through late 2016 and many others are going through the accreditation or reaccreditation process. Certain physicians have also achieved Heart/Stroke recognition by the NCQA. In December 2013, our physician practice was selected by the Department of Health and Human Services as an Accountable Care Organization (“ACO”). Physicians and patients benefit from collaborative, coordinated care within our system, which includes primary care and specialty physicians, short-stay hospitals and ancillary services. We provide care in numerous specialties including urological care in ten urological centers of excellence. We believe our management and operational service offerings enable our physicians and clinicians to focus on patient care by reducing operational distractions and, where implemented, leveraging proven clinical care models. In addition, we provide ancillary services through our affiliated short-stay hospitals and our cancer treatments centers, laboratories and lithotripsy service providers. We believe these integrated ancillary services increase the physician’s ability to manage patient care efficiently.

We intend to expand our physician-led integrated health system in the North Texas service area. Our success is dependent upon our ability to increase the number of physicians and specialists in our system, increase our managed patient population served by WNI-DFW and/or other entities focused on the Medicare Advantage market and expand the service offerings within our physician-led integrated health system – to move from an early-stage integrated health system to a fully integrated health system. Our near term growth and success is dependent upon our ability to execute our expansion strategy and to organize and successfully assimilate those new components into our healthcare delivery model. In addition, our current and future success is dependent upon our ability to:

    deliver a physician-led integrated health system experience focused on continuous improvement;

 

    optimize and standardize clinical operations and exceed industry standard clinical and patient satisfaction criteria;

 

    increase the number of patients served and patient encounters of Holdings and our managed entities;

 

    establish high physician satisfaction with a physician leadership structure;

 

    maintain productive relationships with physicians, hospital partners and managed care payers; and

 

    identify and optimize revenue and cost synergies within our physician-led integrated health system

Competitive Environment

Our healthcare facilities operate in very competitive environments and we compete for patients with other integrated health systems, physician practices, hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, diagnostic facilities and other free-standing facilities. Many of these competitors have greater resources than we do, may be better equipped than we are and may offer a broader range of services than we do. Our competitors are often national or regional in scope. We offer a patient-centered model directed by physicians. We believe that physicians can define the most effective treatment plan for patients, and when unencumbered by the incentives of the fee-for-service system, doctors can best define those service requirements that will contribute to the patient’s good health or full recovery.

We face competition attracting and retaining healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses and other medical support personnel. In recent years, there has been a general shortage of these skilled professionals, particularly primary care physicians and nurses. Hospital systems specifically have increased recruitment of physician practices. We believe we offer a compelling model for physicians because physicians manage our system. Physicians report to other physicians and care is coordinated by physicians. A highly competent and professional team manages the operation that supports our physicians, but those professionals report to physician leadership. We believe our physician-led, professionally managed, quality oriented environment represents a significant advantage for recruiting and retaining our physicians.

Our competitiveness depends on our physician groups obtaining and maintaining contracts with managed care organizations. We are working with managed care organizations on initiatives to implement professional capitation in the short term, as well as long term initiatives geared toward full risk capitation. We believe advancing full risk contracts will strengthen Holdings and advance our vision of a fully integrated health system.

Sources of Revenue

– Net Patient Service Revenue

We earn net patient service revenue through the provision of healthcare services to patients at our clinics and other healthcare facilities. Our net patient service revenue is driven by a patient encounter at one of our physician clinics. A patient sees the physician at one of our clinics and the physician may prescribe services that may be performed at one of our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories, cancer treatment center or other healthcare facilities. The net patient service revenue earned at our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories and cancer treatment center is almost exclusively derived from the physician clinic patient encounter. Our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories and cancer treatment center only nominally serve patients or conduct tests not derived from our physician clinic patient encounter. We record patient service revenue during the period healthcare services are provided.

We are paid for our services by managed care providers and commercial insurers, governmental agencies, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and the patients we serve. We have entered into agreements with the third-party payers under which we are paid based upon contractually defined criteria that generally result in reimbursement amounts that are less than our established billing rates; patient service revenue is recorded net of these contractual allowances and discounts. To provide for patients’ accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, net patient service revenue is reported at the net amount expected to be received. Net patient service revenue is primarily affected by patient encounter volume, payer mix, the mix of services provided to the patients and estimated collections.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from managed care and commercial payers and Medicare, all of whom receive discounts from our customary charges. We estimate discounts off our customary charges at the point the charges are captured concurrent with the date of service to derive net realizable revenue. Discounts off customary charges result from the reduction of our customary charges to prospectively established fee schedule amounts and other contract provisions. The estimates of contractual allowances on charges posted for the period involve payer-specific estimates of net revenue based on the most significant contractual reimbursement methodologies such as percent of charges, fixed fee schedules and multi-procedure discounting. However, the calculations do not take into consideration all contract provisions that may limit reimbursement, but provide an estimate of net realizable value. Revenue is adjusted to actual when the parties (insurer and patient/guarantor) obligated under the contract have tendered payment on the claim. Historically, these payment adjustments have not been material. As we execute our strategic plan and expand our services and the number of patients we serve, the above ratios may vary significantly.

Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. We believe that we are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and are not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on our financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Managed Care and Other Commercial Insurers

Managed care providers, including health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other private insurance companies and employers, are organizations that provide insurance coverage and a network of healthcare providers to members for a fixed monthly premium. To attract additional volume, our physicians and facilities enter into contractual arrangements with managed care providers and other commercial insurers that give the managed care organization the ability to market access to our physicians and facilities. Under these arrangements, we are paid generally based upon fixed fees or modified fixed fees that may vary based on the basket of services provided during the patient encounter. Reimbursement is less than our customary charges. These arrangements generally have a fixed (initial) term and renewal provisions and often limit our ability to increase reimbursement in response to increasing costs during the contract term. Our managed care contracts are subject to periodic renewal ranging from one to three years. The vast majority of our contracts are tied to annual Medicare updates as the mechanism for rate changes during the contract term. Reimbursement rates under these arrangements are contractually pegged to Federal Medicare Program annual rate changes; unfavorable adjustments to the Medicare Program reimbursement rates will similarly affect our reimbursement rates under these arrangements. We could potentially negotiate modifications to current contracts in order to improve reimbursement rates, but with no guarantee of success.

Patients who are members of managed care plans are not required to pay us for their healthcare services except for coinsurance and deductible portions of their plan coverage calculated after managed care discounts have been applied. While the majority of our patient service revenues are generated from patients covered by managed care plans, the percentage may decrease in the future as we develop and expand our physician-led integrated health system as well as due to increased Medicare and Medicaid utilization associated with the aging U.S. population and as more uninsured Americans become covered under the Healthcare Reform Law.

Medicare Reimbursement

Physician services are reimbursed under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (“PFS”) system, under which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) have assigned a national relative value unit (“RVU”) to most medical procedures and services that reflects the various resources required by a physician to provide the services relative to all other services. Each RVU is calculated based on a combination of work required in terms of time and intensity of effort for the service, practice expense (overhead) attributable to the service and malpractice insurance expense attributable to the service. These three elements are modified by a geographic adjustment factor to account for local practice costs and are then aggregated. The aggregated amount is multiplied by a conversion factor that accounts for inflation and targeted growth in Medicare expenditures (as calculated by the sustainable growth rate (“SGR”)) to arrive at the payment amount for each service.

The PFS rates are adjusted each year, and reductions in both current and future payments are anticipated. The SGR formula, if implemented as mandated by statute, would result in significant reductions to payments under the PFS. Since 2003, the U.S. Congress has passed multiple legislative acts delaying application of the SGR to the PFS. For 2014, CMS issued a final rule (“PFS Final Rule”) that would have applied the SGR and resulted in an aggregate reduction of 20.1% to all physician payments under the PFS for 2014. In late December 2013, President Obama signed the Bipartisan Budget Act into law, which included a temporary Medicare SGR fix. The SGR provision delayed application of the SGR and provided for a 0.5% increase in PFS rates through March 31, 2014.

On February 2, 2014, the Senate Finance Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee announced that they had agreed upon legislation, the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act (the “SGR Repeal Act”), that would permanently repeal the SGR and establish a more streamlined and improved incentive payment program that will focus on providing value and quality. Under the SGR Repeal Act, physicians would receive an annual update of 0.5% for 2014 through 2018, 2018 payment rates would be maintained through 2023, and physicians would be given the opportunity to receive additional payment adjustments through a new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”). MIPS would consolidate three existing incentive programs and improve focus on quality, resource use and meaningful electronic health record (“EHR”) use. While the Senate and House Committees have generally agreed on the repeal of the SGR, they have not yet determined how Congress will cover the estimated $125 billion cost of the legislation. We cannot predict whether the SGR Repeal Act will be adopted by Congress or, if adopted, the impact the SGR Repeal Act would have on our revenues and results of operation.

The PFS Final Rule also included overall negative adjustments to the reimbursement rates of several key services of our clinical laboratories and radiation oncology practice. If related 2014 volumes were unchanged from 2013, we would estimate a decrease of $0.7 million in net patient service revenue as compared to 2013 resulting from these fee schedule adjustments.

In addition to the reductions under the PFS, the Budget Control Act of 2011 sets forth certain across-the-board cuts (“sequestrations”) to Medicare reimbursement rates which began in April 2013. These annual reductions of 2% apply to mandatory and discretionary spending in the years 2013 to 2021 and were extended to 2023 by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. Unless Congress takes action in the future to modify these sequestrations, Medicare reimbursements will be reduced by 2% annually.

Medicaid

Medicaid programs are funded by both the federal government and state governments to provide healthcare benefits to certain low-income individuals and groups. These programs and the reimbursement methodologies are administered by the states and vary from state to state and from year to year. Most state Medicaid program payments are made under a prospective payment system fee schedule, cost reimbursement programs or some combination of these three methods. Medicaid reimbursement is less than Medicare reimbursement for the same services and is often less than the cost of the services provided. Many states have recently reduced or are currently considering legislation to reduce the level of Medicaid funding (including upper payment limits) or program eligibility that could adversely affect future levels of Medicaid reimbursement.

Self-Pay

Self-pay revenue refers to i) revenues from patients that are not covered by commercial insurance or government programs for which the patient is individually responsible for the entire amount charged and ii) the patient portion of insured accounts. In order to mitigate self-pay collection risks, we utilize pay-up-front policies where practical.

– Capitated Revenue

Our consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), WNI-DFW earns capitated revenue (fixed payment per member per month) by contracting with an entity that operates a health services company that contracts directly with a health plan. Capitated revenue is prepaid monthly based on the number of Medicare Advantage members of the health plan network electing WNI-DFW primary care physicians as their healthcare provider, regardless of actual medical services utilized. Capitation revenue is reported as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to receive healthcare.

– Management and Other Services Revenue

We earn management services revenue through the provision of management and operational support services to our managed healthcare entities pursuant to long-term contractual arrangements. We earn management services revenue primarily through services provided to USMD Hospital at Arlington, L.P. (“USMD Arlington”) and USMD Hospital at Fort Worth, L.P. (“USMD Fort Worth”). Management fees are based on a percentage of each hospital’s adjusted net patient service revenues, as contractually defined. Hospital net patient service revenue depends on a variety of factors, such as surgical case volume, the case mix or intensity of utilization of services and the mix of third-party payer sources. We also earn management services revenue through the provision of broad-based management and clinical services to cancer treatment centers and lithotripsy service providers. Management fees are based on certain defined criteria, generally a percentage of cash collections, and revenue is recognized as services are provided. In addition, we provide managed entities with management, information technology, operations and/or revenue cycle support, or a subset of those services. The costs of providing those support services are reimbursed to us by the managed entities and are included in management services revenue.

We earn other services revenue through the provision of healthcare consulting services to third parties.

– Lithotripsy Services Revenue

We consolidate 18 lithotripsy service provider entities that we control as the general partner or managing member. We recognize lithotripsy services revenue through the provision of lithotripsy services to hospitals and other healthcare entities by the lithotripsy entities we consolidate. We typically provide these lithotripsy services to hospital, ambulatory surgery center and physician office clients based on contracted fee-for-service arrangements.

– Major Customers

Revenue earned from USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth accounted for 7% and 15% of our consolidated net operating revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth are nonconsolidated equity method investees of Holdings.

Regulatory Matters

The healthcare industry is heavily regulated through extensive and complex federal and state laws, rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are often subject to differing interpretations and often change, and new rules and regulations are enacted. For example, federal healthcare reform legislation signed into law in 2010 contains numerous provisions that may reshape the United States healthcare delivery system, and these provisions go into effect at various times over a several year period. Healthcare reform continues to attract significant legislative interest, legal challenges and public attention that create uncertainty and the potential for additional changes. Healthcare reform implementation, additional legislation or other changes in government regulation may affect our reimbursement, restrict our existing operations, limit the expansion of our business or impose additional compliance requirements and costs in ways we cannot predict.

Corporate Practice of Medicine

The State of Texas has adopted a legal doctrine known as the “corporate practice of medicine,” which generally prohibits licensed physicians from entering into partnerships, employee relationships, fee-splitting, or other relationships with non-physicians where the physician’s practice of medicine is in any way directed by, or fees are shared with, a non-physician. Under the Texas corporate practice of medicine doctrine, it is unlawful for any for-profit corporation to employ physicians that provide professional medical services. There are recognized exceptions to this general prohibition. One such exception authorizes the Texas Medical Board to certify a non-profit corporation as a Certified Non-Profit Healthcare Organization, and an entity so certified may employ physicians, or may own certain subsidiaries that employ physicians, who provide professional medical services to patients. There are many prerequisites to certification, and several of them are intended to ensure that licensed physicians make all decisions related to patient care.

A subsidiary of Holdings is the sole member of USMD Physician Services, and USMD Physician Services has been certified by the Texas Medical Board as a Certified Non-Profit Healthcare Organization. USMD Physician Services, directly or through subsidiaries it owns, employs physicians who provide professional medical services to patients. A separate subsidiary of Holdings has a long-term management contract to provide management services to USMD Physician Services and its subsidiaries. These management services, provided by our wholly owned physician practice management subsidiary, include non-medical management, operational and administrative services. The managing entity is prohibited from offering medical services or exercising any influence or control over the practice of medicine by USMD Physician Services and its physicians. We believe this arrangement is compliant under the corporate practice of medicine doctrine and related health care laws and regulations.

Licensure, Certification and Accreditation

The construction and operation of health care facilities are subject to numerous federal, state and local regulations relating to the adequacy of medical care, equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures, maintenance of adequate records, fire prevention, rate-setting and compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. In addition, health care facilities are subject to periodic inspection by governmental and other authorities to ensure continued compliance with licensing and accreditation standards. We operate many health care facilities that are subject to such rules and regulations, and we are paid to manage the construction and operation of facilities for third parties that are subject to these rules and regulations. We believe the health care facilities we operate and manage are properly licensed under applicable state laws. The hospitals we own in part and manage are certified for participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs and are accredited by The Joint Commission. If a health care facility we operate or manage were to lose its Medicare or Medicaid certification, the facility would be unable to receive reimbursement from federal health care programs, which could also affect its entitlement to receive money under contracts with non-government payers. If such a facility were to lose accreditation by The Joint Commission, the facility could be subject to additional state surveys, and increased scrutiny by CMS and other non-government payers. Management believes our facilities are in substantial compliance with current applicable federal, state, local and independent review body regulations and standards. The requirements for licensure, certification and accreditation are subject to change and, in the future, we may be required to make changes in our facilities, equipment, personnel and services to remain in compliance. The requirements for licensure, certification and accreditation also include notification or approval in the event of the transfer or change of ownership or certain other changes. Failure to provide required notifications or obtain necessary approvals in these circumstances can result in the inability to complete an acquisition or change of ownership, loss of licensure or other penalties.

Certificates of Need

In some states where we develop, manage and operate health care facilities, the construction or expansion of health care facilities, the acquisition of existing facilities, the transfer or change of ownership and the addition of new beds or services may be subject to review by and prior approval of, or notifications to, state regulatory agencies under a “Certificate of Need” program. While Texas is not currently a Certificate of Need state, it and other states where currently no such program exists could choose to enact a Certificate of Need program in the future. Such laws generally require a reviewing state agency to determine the public need for additional or expanded health care facilities and services. The process is expensive and time consuming, and there is no guarantee that the reviewing agency will authorize the development or expansion of facilities that is sought.

Federal Anti-Kickback Statute

A section of the Social Security Act known as the federal “Anti-Kickback Statute” prohibits providers and others from soliciting, receiving, offering or paying, directly or indirectly, any remuneration with the intent of generating referrals or orders for services or items covered by a federal healthcare program. Courts have interpreted this statute broadly and have held that there is a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute if just one purpose of the remuneration is to generate referrals, even if there are other lawful purposes. Knowledge of the Anti-Kickback Statute or the intent to violate the law is not required. Violation of this statute is a felony, including criminal penalties of imprisonment or criminal fines up to $25,000 for each violation, but it also includes civil money penalties of up to $50,000 per violation, damages of up to three times the total amount of the improper payment to the referral source and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. In addition, the submission of a claim for services or items generated in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim and may be subject to additional penalties under the federal False Claims Act.

The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) have published final safe harbor regulations that outline categories of activities that are deemed protected from prosecution under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Currently there are safe harbors for various activities, including the following: investment interests, space rental, equipment rental, practitioner recruitment, personal services and management contracts, sale of practice, referral services, warranties, discounts, employees, group purchasing organizations, waiver of beneficiary coinsurance and deductible amounts, managed care arrangements, obstetrical malpractice insurance subsidies, investments in group practices, ambulatory surgery centers and referral agreements for specialty services. The fact that conduct or a business arrangement does not fall within a safe harbor does not automatically render the conduct or business arrangement illegal under the Anti-Kickback Statute. The conduct or business arrangement, however, does increase the risk of scrutiny by government enforcement authorities.

We are owned in part by physicians, and members of our Board of Directors and executive management team include licensed physicians. Holdings and its subsidiaries have a variety of financial relationships with physicians who refer patients to facilities we own and operate. In addition, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries is the sole member of USMD Physician Services, which through its wholly owned subsidiary employs licensed physicians who provide professional medical services to patients. Holdings and its subsidiaries have structured all financial and other relationships with physicians and other health care providers to ensure that they do not violate the Anti-Kickback Statute or any other health care fraud and abuse law or regulation.

The OIG, among other regulatory agencies, is responsible for identifying and eliminating fraud, abuse and waste. The OIG carries out this mission through a nationwide program of audits, investigations and inspections. In order to provide guidance to healthcare providers, the OIG has from time to time issued “fraud alerts” that, although they do not have the force of law, identify features of a transaction that may indicate that the transaction could violate the Anti-Kickback Statute or other federal healthcare laws. The OIG has identified several incentive arrangements as potential violations, including:

 

    payment of any incentive by the hospital when a physician refers a patient to the hospital;

 

    use of free or significantly discounted office space or equipment for physicians in facilities usually located close to the hospital;

 

    provision of free or significantly discounted billing, nursing or other staff services;

 

    free training for a physician’s office staff, including management and laboratory techniques;

 

    guarantees that provide that, if the physician’s income fails to reach a predetermined level, the hospital will pay any portion of the remainder;

 

    low-interest or interest-free loans, or loans which may be forgiven, if a physician refers patients to the hospital;

 

    payment of the costs of a physician’s travel and expenses for conferences or a physician’s continuing education courses;

 

    coverage on the hospital’s group health insurance plans at an inappropriately low cost to the physician;

 

    rental of space in physician offices, at other than fair market value terms, by persons or entities to which physicians refer;

 

    payment of services which require few, if any, substantive duties by the physician, or payment for services in excess of the fair market value of the services rendered; or

 

    “gain sharing,” the practice of giving physicians a share of any reduction in a hospital’s costs for patient care attributable in part to the physician’s efforts.

The OIG has encouraged persons having information about health care providers who offer or accept the types of incentives listed above to report such information to the OIG. The OIG also issues “Special Advisory Bulletins” as a means of providing guidance to healthcare providers. These bulletins, along with other “fraud alerts,” have focused on certain arrangements between physicians and providers that could be subject to heightened scrutiny by government enforcement authorities. In addition to issuing fraud alerts and Special Advisory Bulletins, the OIG from time to time issues compliance program guidance for certain types of healthcare providers. This guidance identifies risk areas under federal fraud and abuse laws and regulations that are specific to certain providers, such as hospitals, physician group practices, or ambulatory surgery centers.

We have implemented a compliance program and established a number of policies and procedures intended to ensure that our arrangements with physicians and other health care providers comply with current laws and applicable regulations.

The Stark Law

The Social Security Act also includes a provision commonly known as the “Stark Law.” This law prohibits physicians from referring Medicare and (to an extent) Medicaid patients to entities with which they or any of their immediate family members have a financial relationship for the provision of certain designated health services that are reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid, including inpatient and outpatient hospital services, unless the financial relationship satisfies a recognized Stark Law exception. The law also prohibits an entity from billing the Medicare or Medicaid program for any items or services related to a prohibited referral. Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include denial of payment, refunding amounts received for services provided pursuant to prohibited referrals, civil money penalties of up to $15,000 per item or service improperly billed and exclusion from the federal healthcare programs. The statute also provides for a penalty of up to $100,000 for a circumvention scheme.

A financial arrangement can be an ownership interest in an entity and can also be a compensation arrangement with an entity. There are a number of exceptions to the Stark Law for financial arrangements between physicians and providers. These include employment contracts, leases of space and equipment, the ownership of publicly traded securities of a company with stockholder’s equity in excess of $75 million dollars, professional services agreements, ownership of a “whole hospital,” certain non-cash gifts, recruitment agreements, and others. A financial arrangement must comply with every element of a Stark Law exception or the arrangement in question is not excepted, and referrals between the two parties are prohibited by the Stark Law.

Many physicians that refer patients to facilities owned and operated by Holdings and its subsidiaries own common stock of Holdings. We believe that the ownership of Holdings common stock satisfies all of the elements of a recognized Stark Law exception for the ownership of stock of a public company, in pertinent part because Holdings common stock is traded on a national exchange and has stockholder equity in excess of $75 million dollars. In addition, many physicians possess ownership interests in partnerships that own hospitals owned in part and managed by Holdings. We believe that physician ownership of these entities satisfies all of the elements of the Stark Law’s “Whole Hospital” exception. However, the Healthcare Reform Law prohibits newly created physician owned hospitals from billing for Medicare patients referred by their physician owners, and while it grandfathers existing physician owned hospitals, it does not allow these hospitals to increase aggregate physician ownership, and it significantly restricts their ability to expand services. While some providers and special interest groups are challenging this new law in court, as of this date, it remains in effect. There has been considerable opposition from health systems and others to the expansion of physician owned hospitals during the last 15 years, and it is uncertain what additional rules and regulations may be implemented and how they may affect our business.

CMS has issued three phases of final regulations implementing the Stark Law. Phases I and II became effective in January 2002 and July 2004, respectively, and Phase III became effective in December 2007. While these regulations help clarify the requirements of the exceptions to the Stark Law, it is unclear how the government may interpret many of these exceptions in a future enforcement purposes. In addition, these rules and regulations are subject to constant change in form and interpretation. For example, in July, 2008, CMS issued a final rule which effectively prohibited many “under arrangements” ventures between a hospital and any referring physician or entity owned, in whole or in part, by a referring physician that had been compliant prior to that date. The new regulations also effectively prohibited unit-of-service-based or “per click” compensation and percentage-based compensation in office space and equipment leases between a provider and any referring physician or entity owned, in whole or in part, by a referring physician.

Holdings and its subsidiaries expend considerable time and resources to ensure that all financial and referral arrangements between Holdings, its subsidiaries and physicians comply with the Stark Law. However, because the Stark Law and its implementing regulations continue to evolve, we do not always have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation of this law and its regulations. We attempt to structure our relationships to meet an exception to the Stark Law, but the regulations implementing the exceptions are detailed and complex, and we cannot ensure that every relationship at all times complies fully with the Stark Law. In addition, in the July 2008 final Stark rule, CMS indicated that it will continue to enact further regulations tightening aspects of the Stark Law that it perceives allow for Medicare program abuse, especially those regulations that still permit physicians to profit from their referrals of ancillary services.

Our operations could be adversely affected by the failure of our arrangements to comply with the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, billing laws and regulations, current state laws or other legislation or regulations in these areas adopted in the future. We are unable to predict whether other legislation or regulations at the federal or state level in any of these areas will be adopted, what form such legislation or regulations may take or how they may impact our operations. We strive to enter into new financial arrangements with physicians and other providers in a manner structured to comply in all material respects with these laws.

The Federal False Claims Act and Similar State Laws

The qui tam, or whistleblower, provisions of the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”) allow private individuals to bring actions on behalf of the government alleging that the defendant has defrauded the federal government. Further, the government may use the FCA to prosecute Medicare and other government program fraud in areas such as coding errors, billing for services not provided and submitting false cost reports. When a private party brings a qui tam action under the FCA, the defendant is not made aware of the lawsuit until the government has concluded its own investigation or otherwise determined whether it will intervene.

If a defendant is found liable under the FCA, the defendant may be required to pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties of between $5,500 and $11,000 for each separate false claim. There are many potential bases for liability under the FCA. Liability often arises when an entity knowingly submits a false claim for reimbursement to the federal government. The FCA defines the term “knowingly” broadly. Though simple negligence will not give rise to liability under the FCA, submitting a claim with reckless disregard to its truth or falsity constitutes a “knowing” submission under the FCA and, therefore, may create liability. The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 expanded the scope of the FCA by, among other things, creating liability for knowingly and improperly avoiding repayment of an overpayment received from the government and broadening protections for whistleblowers. Under the Health Reform Law, the FCA is implicated by the knowing failure to report and return an overpayment within 60 days of identifying the overpayment or by the date a corresponding cost report is due, whichever is later.

In some cases, whistleblowers and the federal government have taken the position, and some courts have held, that providers who allegedly have violated other statutes, such as the Anti-kickback Statute and the Stark Law, have thereby submitted false claims under the FCA. The Health Reform Law clarifies this issue with respect to the Anti-kickback Statute by providing that submission of claims for services or items generated in violation of the Anti-kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim under the FCA. Every entity that receives at least $5 million annually in Medicaid payments must have written policies for all employees, contractors or agents, providing detailed information about false claims, false statements and whistleblower protections under certain federal laws, including the FCA, and similar state laws. In addition, federal law provides an incentive to states to enact false claims laws comparable to the FCA. A number of states in which we operate, including Texas, have adopted their own false claims provisions as well as their own whistleblower provisions under which a private party may file a civil lawsuit in state court. We have adopted and distributed policies pertaining to the FCA and relevant state laws to all employees and it is a part of our compliance plan and Code of Conduct.

HIPAA and Related Security Requirements

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) requires the use of uniform electronic data transmission standards for certain health care claims and payment transactions submitted or received electronically, in order to encourage the conducting of commerce electronically. HHS has issued regulations implementing the HIPAA Administrative Simplification Provisions and compliance with these regulations is mandatory for certain of our facilities. The Health Reform Law requires HHS to adopt standards for additional electronic transactions and to establish operating rules to promote uniformity in the implementation of each standardized electronic transaction. As part of these standards, each provider must use a National Provider Identifier, and CMS will be requiring the use of updated standard code sets for certain diagnoses and procedures known as ICD-10 code sets. Implementing the ICD-10 code sets will require significant administrative changes, investment in coding technology and software as well as the training of staff involved in the coding and billing process. In addition to these upfront costs of transition to ICD-10, it is possible that our clinics could experience disruption or delays in payment due to technical or coding errors or other implementation issues involving our systems or the systems and implementation efforts of health plans and their business partners. Further, the transition to the more detailed ICD-10 coding system could result in decreased reimbursement if the use of ICD-10 codes result in conditions being reclassified to payment groupings with lower levels of reimbursement than codes assigned under the previous system. However, we believe that the cost of compliance with these regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial position or results of operations. By regulation, use of the ICD-10 code sets is required beginning October 1, 2014.

The privacy and security regulations promulgated of HIPAA extensively regulate the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information and require covered entities, including health plans and most health care providers, to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security of such information. The application of certain provisions of the security and privacy regulations has been proposed to be extended to business associates (entities that handle identifiable health information on behalf of covered entities) and subjects business associates to civil and criminal penalties for violation of the regulations. If this proposal is enacted, these changes would likely require amendments to existing agreements with business associates and would subject business associates and their subcontractors to direct liability under the HIPAA privacy and security regulations. We currently enforce a HIPAA compliance plan, which we believe complies with HIPAA privacy and security requirements and under which a HIPAA compliance group monitors our compliance. The privacy regulations and security regulations have and will continue to impose significant costs on our facilities and on our entities that manage other health care providers’ businesses in order to comply with these standards.

Covered entities are required by law to report breaches of unsecured protected health information to affected individuals without unreasonable delay but not to exceed 60 days of discovery of the breach by a covered entity or its agents. Notification must also be made to HHS and, in certain situations involving large breaches, to the media. HHS is required to publish on its website a list of all covered entities that report a breach involving more than 500 individuals. Various state laws and regulations may also require us to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach involving individually identifiable information.

Violations of the HIPAA privacy and security regulations may result in civil and criminal penalties. In addition, there are numerous other laws and legislative and regulatory initiatives at the federal and state levels addressing privacy and security concerns. Our facilities remain subject to any federal or state privacy-related laws that are more restrictive than the privacy regulations issued under HIPAA. These laws vary and could impose additional penalties and costs to our businesses.

Regulation of Clinical Laboratories

The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”) extended federal oversight to virtually all clinical laboratories by requiring that they be certified by the federal government or by a federally-approved accreditation agency. CLIA requires that all clinical laboratories meet quality assurance, quality control and personnel standards. Standards for testing under CLIA are based on the complexity of the tests performed by the laboratory, with tests classified as “high complexity,” “moderate complexity,” or “waived.”

Laboratories performing high complexity testing are required to meet more stringent requirements than moderate complexity laboratories. Laboratories performing only waived tests, which are tests determined to have a low potential for error and requiring little oversight, may apply for a certificate of waiver exempting them from most of the requirements of CLIA. Several facilities operated or managed by Holdings and its subsidiaries are CLIA certified to perform high complexity testing. In addition, we manage several smaller testing sites that are authorized under CLIA to perform moderate complexity testing or have received certificate of waiver. The sanctions for failure to comply with CLIA requirements include suspension, revocation or limitation of a laboratory’s CLIA certificate, which is necessary to conduct business, cancellation or suspension of the laboratory’s approval to receive Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement, as well as significant fines and/or criminal penalties.

The Company is also subject to state and local laboratory regulation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laboratory requirements, but these regulations are subject to expansion, amendment or changes in interpretation. The Company’s laboratories, and those we manage, have continuing programs to ensure that operations meet all regulatory requirements.

Accountable Care Organizations and Pilot Projects.

The Affordable Care Act requires HHS to establish a Medicare Shared Savings Program that promotes accountability and coordination of care through the creation of accountable care organizations. Beginning in 2012, the program allows providers, physicians and other designated professionals and suppliers to form ACOs and voluntarily work together to invest in infrastructure and redesign delivery processes to achieve high quality and efficient delivery of services. The program is intended to produce savings as a result of improved quality and operational efficiency. ACOs that achieve quality performance standards established by HHS will be eligible to share in a portion of the amounts saved by the Medicare program. HHS has significant discretion to determine key elements of the program, including what steps providers must take to be considered an ACO, how to decide if Medicare program savings have occurred, and what portion of such savings will be paid to ACOs. In addition, HHS will determine to what degree hospitals, physicians and other eligible participants will be able to form and operate an ACO without violating certain existing laws, including the Civil Monetary Penalty Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark law. However, the Affordable Care Act does not authorize HHS to waive other laws that may impact the ability of hospitals and other eligible participants to participate in ACOs, such as antitrust laws.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to compliance with various federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations, including the disposal of medical waste generated by our health care facilities. Our environmental compliance costs are not significant and we do not anticipate that they will be significant in the future.

Antitrust Laws

The federal government and most states have enacted antitrust laws that prohibit certain types of conduct deemed to be anti-competitive. These laws prohibit price fixing, concerted refusal to deal, market monopolization, price discrimination, tying arrangements, acquisitions of competitors and other practices that have, or may have, an adverse effect on competition. Violations of federal or state antitrust laws can result in various sanctions, including criminal and civil penalties. Antitrust enforcement in the health care industry is currently a priority of the Federal Trade Commission. We believe we are in compliance with such federal and state laws.

Other Fraud and Abuse Provisions

The Social Security Act also imposes criminal and civil penalties for submitting false claims to Medicare and Medicaid. False claims include billing for services not rendered, misrepresenting actual services rendered in order to obtain higher reimbursement and cost report fraud. Like the Anti-Kickback Statute, these provisions are very broad. Further, the Social Security Act contains civil penalties for conduct including improper coding and billing for unnecessary goods and services. Civil penalties may be imposed for the failure to report and return an overpayment within 60 days of identifying the overpayment or by the date a corresponding cost report is due, whichever is later. To avoid liability, providers must, among other things, carefully and accurately code claims for reimbursement, promptly return overpayments and accurately prepare cost reports.

HIPAA broadened the scope of the fraud and abuse laws by adding several criminal provisions for healthcare fraud offenses that apply to all health benefit programs. HIPAA also created new enforcement mechanisms to combat fraud and abuse, including the Medicaid Integrity Program and an incentive program under which individuals can receive up to $1,000 for providing information on Medicare fraud and abuse that leads to the recovery of at least $100 of Medicare funds. In addition, federal enforcement officials now have the ability to exclude from Medicare and Medicaid any investors, officers and managing employees associated with business entities that have committed healthcare fraud. Additionally, HIPAA establishes a violation for the payment of inducements to Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries in order to influence those beneficiaries to order or receive services from a particular provider or practitioner.

Some of these provisions, including the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law, require a lower burden of proof than other fraud and abuse laws, including the Anti-Kickback Statute. Civil monetary penalties that may be imposed under the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law range from $10,000 to $50,000 per act, and in some cases may result in penalties of up to three times the remuneration offered, paid, solicited or received. In addition, a violator may be subject to exclusion from federal and state healthcare programs. Federal and state governments increasingly use the federal Civil Monetary Penalty Law, especially where they believe they cannot meet the higher burden of proof requirements under the Anti-Kickback Statute.

Compliance Plan

We maintain a compliance program that reflects our commitment to complying with laws and regulations applicable to our business and meeting our ethical obligations in conducting our business (the “Compliance Program”). We believe our Compliance Program provides a solid framework to meet this commitment; the Compliance Program includes the following:

 

    a Chief Compliance Officer who reports to the Board of Directors on a regular basis;

 

    a Corporate Compliance Committee consisting of our senior executives;

 

    our Code of Conduct, which is applicable to our employees, independent contractors, officers and directors;

 

    a disclosure program that includes a mechanism to enable individuals to disclose to the Chief Compliance Officer or any person who is not in the disclosing individual’s chain of command, issues or questions believed by the individual to be a potential violation of criminal, civil, or administrative laws;

 

    an organizational structure designed to integrate our compliance objectives into our corporate and practice levels; and

 

    education, auditing, monitoring and corrective action programs designed to establish methods to promote the understanding of our Compliance program and adherence to its requirements.

The foundation of our Compliance Plan is our Code of Conduct, which is intended to be a comprehensive statement of the ethical and legal standards governing the daily activities of our employees, affiliated professionals, independent contractors, officers and directors. All our personnel are required to abide by and annually attest to reading and complying with the Code of Conduct. In addition, all employees and affiliated professionals are expected to report incidents that they believe in good faith may be in violation of our Code of Conduct. We maintain a toll-free hotline to permit individuals to report compliance concerns on an anonymous basis and obtain answers to questions about our Code of Conduct. Our Compliance Plan, including our Code of Conduct, is administered by our Chief Compliance Officer with oversight by our Chief Executive Officer, Corporate Compliance Committee and Board of Directors. Copies of our Code of Conduct and are available on our website, www.usmdinc.com. Our Internet website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not incorporated into or deemed a part of this Form 10-K.

Professional and General Liability Coverage

We maintain professional and general liability insurance policies with third-party insurers, subject to deductibles, policy aggregates, exclusions, and other restrictions, in accordance with standard industry practice. We believe that our insurance coverage is appropriate based upon our claims experience and the nature and risks of our business. Our business entails an inherent risk of claims of medical malpractice against our physicians and us. We contract and pay premiums for professional liability insurance that indemnifies us and our healthcare professionals on a claims-made basis for losses incurred related to medical malpractice litigation. Professional liability coverage is required in order for our physicians to maintain hospital privileges.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, we had a total of 1,551 employees, including 212 physicians and 52 physician extenders. None of our employees are party to a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relationships with our employees to be good.

Available Information

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You may read and copy any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549.

Table of Contents

In addition to our principal executive office and business office operations, as of December 31, 2013, we leased through various entities 58 physician clinic locations to support our operations. Our clinical leases, which represent the largest portion of our rent expense, have various terms ranging from one month to 14 years and monthly lease payments ranging from $1,000 to $90,000. We expect to be able to renew each of our leases or to lease comparable facilities on terms commercially acceptable to us.

All of our properties are located in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. We believe our present facilities are substantially adequate to meet our current and near-term projected needs.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to litigation and related claims arising in the ordinary course of business, but the Company believes that any damage award related to such claims would be recoverable under its professional and general liability insurance policies.

Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, credit agreements with our lenders restrict our ability to pay dividends.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The purpose of this section, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), is to provide a narrative explanation of our financial statements from the perspective of our management that enables investors to better understand our business, to enhance our overall financial disclosures, to provide the context within which our financial information may be analyzed and to provide information about the quality of, and potential variability of, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Overview

The Contribution created an innovative early-stage physician-led integrated health system committed to maintaining the vital doctor-patient relationship that we believe results in higher quality and more affordable patient care. An integrated health system is considered early-stage when it has not yet established all the components necessary to be considered a fully integrated health system. Our focus and the focus of our healthcare providers is to deliver higher quality, more convenient, cost effective health care to our patients. We believe our model brings primary care and specialist physicians together and places them in their proper role as leaders of health care delivery, and that this important shift brings quality and patient satisfaction back to the forefront where it belongs by making our providers responsible for patient outcomes and the overall clinical experience.

We operate in one physician-led integrated health system segment and provide healthcare services to patients in physician clinics, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, primarily in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area. We provide management and/or operational services to six cancer treatment centers in five states and 21 lithotripsy service providers (i.e., kidney stone treatment) primarily located in the South-Central United States.

Key Developments

 

    On June 1, 2013, WNI-DFW commenced operations and we began recording capitation revenue and associated expenses, including incurred but not recorded medical expense. Currently, WNI-DFW is a cornerstone of our physician-led integrated health system and establishes our presence in the North Texas Medicare Advantage market.

    Effective September 1, 2013, we issued convertible subordinated notes in the aggregate principal amount of $24.3 million (the “Convertible Subordinated Notes”) to certain limited partners of USMD Arlington to acquire their limited partnership interests in USMD Arlington. Our investment in USMD Arlington increased by $24.3 million and our ownership percentage in USMD Arlington increased to 46.4% from 28.4%. Our allocable share of net income or loss from USMD Arlington will increase commensurate with our increased ownership.

Opportunities and Challenges

We are focused on expanding our physician-led integrated health system through the growth of our physician and patient base as well as by increasing the service offerings within our system. We intend to increase our patient base by increasing the number of primary care and specialist physicians in our system, including increasing the number of specialists in our current areas of focus as well as in specialties not currently within our system. We may achieve this through hiring efforts or through the acquisition of or affiliations with physician practices or other healthcare practices that share our vision of patient-first care. Inherent in expansion of our physician-led integrated health system is a build out of our imaging, clinical and pathological laboratory offerings and implementation of a more efficient clinical care model.

A significant component of our growth plan is an increase in the number of Medicare Advantage patients currently served through WNI-DFW. From the commencement of operations in June 2013 through December 2013, WNI-DFW had an average of approximately 1,640 Medicare Advantage member patients. Beginning January 1, 2014, following the annual Medicare enrollment process, WNI-DFW had nearly 5,200 Medicare Advantage member patients. We believe the care coordination and population health infrastructure we have installed will enhance the clinical outcomes and eliminate wasteful costs for our Medicare Advantage patients. Our WNI-DFW agreement calls for receipt of 85% of the premium for that Medicare Advantage population, which has provided us the resources needed to develop the care management infrastructure necessary to achieve these results. As we increase investment in our care coordination and population management infrastructure, we anticipate near-term margin pressures as we identify opportunities to appropriately manage the health of our Medicare Advantage patient population. We believe effective management of that population will generate positive long-term returns.

In December 2013, our physician practice was selected by CMS to participate in the Medicare ACO Shared Savings Program. Doctors, hospitals and health care providers establish ACOs in order to work together to provide higher-quality coordinated care to patient populations specified by Medicare, with the intent to produce savings as a result of improved quality and operational efficiency. Since passage of the Affordable Care Act, more than 360 ACOs have been established, serving over 5.3 million Americans with Medicare. ACOs share with Medicare any savings generated from lowering the growth in health care costs when they meet standards for high quality care. The ACOs must meet quality standards to ensure that savings are achieved through improving care coordination and providing care that is appropriate, safe, and timely. CMS evaluates ACO quality performance using 33 quality measures on patient and caregiver experience of care, care coordination and patient safety, appropriate use of preventive health services, and improved care for at-risk populations.

Increasing physician counts and the expansion of service offerings may have a near-term negative impact on margins as we develop our physician-led integrated health system. Designing and implementing a physician compensation model that properly incentivizes physicians in a value-based care paradigm is integral to our future success. We will face operational and cultural challenges in integrating new physicians and components of our patient-centric model, which continues to evolve and is expected to offer numerous opportunities for improving healthcare delivery and growing our business. In addition, the continued development of our physician-led integrated health system will likely require additional capital infusions or other financing.

Selected Operating Statistics

At December 31, 2013, USMD Physician Services operated out of 58 clinics and other healthcare facilities and employed 128 primary care and pediatric physicians and 84 physician specialists.

For the periods presented, we had the following:

i. A patient encounter is registered when a patient sees his or her physician.
ii. New patients are registered for patients not previously seen by a service provider within our system.
iii. Relative Value Units (“RVUs”) are equivalent to physician work RVUs as defined by the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. RVUs reflect the relative level of time, skill, training and intensity required of a physician to provide a given service. We use RVUs as measures of physician productivity and utilization and RVUs are also a component of physician compensation.
iv. Lab tests, imaging procedures, cancer treatment center fractions and lithotripsy cases are all production metrics based on Current Procedural Terminology codes.

We use various evidence-based quality metrics such as specific cancer screenings to measure how well our physicians manage their patient panels. We believe our quality criteria have enabled us to reduce the total medical cost of care of our managed patients, including reductions in emergency room visits and hospital readmissions. We use these and other metrics to measure the performance of our business.

Industry Trends

Healthcare Reform

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Healthcare Reform Law”) was enacted. The Healthcare Reform Law is intended to expand health insurance coverage to uninsured individuals and reform the healthcare delivery system with the objectives of improving quality and lowering the overall cost of providing healthcare. Many provisions within the Healthcare Reform Law could impact us in the future, resulting in potential variances in third-party reimbursement rates, payer mix and patient encounter volumes. The most significant provisions of the Health Reform Law that seek to decrease the number of uninsured individuals mostly became effective January 1, 2014. However, the shared responsibility provisions that require companies with 50-99 or greater than 100 employees to provide health insurance or pay fines has been delayed until January 1, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Because of the many variables involved and the staggered implementation timeline, we cannot predict with any assurance the ultimate effect of the Healthcare Reform Law and related regulations and interpretive legislation on our business. We believe that we are well positioned to respond effectively to the opportunities and challenges presented by this important legislation as a result of our physician-led, high quality, patient-centered care model.

One provision of the Health Reform Law required CMS to establish a Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) that promotes accountability and coordination of care through the creation of ACOs. The program allows certain healthcare providers to voluntarily form ACOs and work together along with other ACO participants to invest in infrastructure and redesign delivery processes to achieve high quality and efficient delivery of services. Our physician practice was recently selected as an ACO by HHS. As an ACO, we will strive to improve the clinical outcomes of our Medicare fee for service patients participating in the ACO and to achieve those improved outcomes at a reduced relative cost. We will have the opportunity to share with CMS in any financial savings created.

Value-Based Care and Patient-Centered Medical Home

We believe the U.S. healthcare system continues to evolve in a manner that favors integrated healthcare systems and value-based care, with an increasing focus on population management. As government and commercial payers strive to control healthcare costs and improve healthcare outcomes, we believe payment methodologies and reimbursement trends will continue to evolve, including payment bundling, value-based payment methodologies linked to the quality and coordination of care as well as risk-sharing arrangements such as capitated payments.

We also believe that patient-centered medical home models, in which a primary care or specialty physician serves as the care coordinator will grow in prominence. We believe our focus on developing a clinically integrated, comprehensive healthcare delivery network, our commitment to patient-centered care, our collaborations such as those with WNI-DFW, other commercial payors and our experienced management team position us well to respond to these emerging trends and to manage the changing healthcare regulatory and reimbursement environment.

Electronic Health Records

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for incentive payments under the Medicare and Medicaid programs for certain hospitals and physicians that demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology. Physicians and other professionals may be eligible for either Medicare or Medicaid incentive payments, but not both. We anticipate that nearly all of our physicians will participate in the meaningful use program in 2014. We have incurred and will continue to incur both capital expenditures and operating expenses in order to implement EHR technology and meet the meaningful use requirements; the timing of recognition of EHR incentive income does not correlate with those expenditures and expenses. We believe that the operational benefits of EHR technology, including anticipated improved clinical outcomes and increased operational and administrative efficiencies, will contribute to development of our integrated health system and our ability to meet targeted quality objectives.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012

As a result of the August 31, 2012 Contribution, which was accounted for as a reverse acquisition by USMD into Holdings, previously a business combination related shell company, results of operations and cash flows have limited comparability between periods. Our results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 include a full year of results of operations and cash flows of post-Contribution Holdings. Our results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 include eight months of results of operations and cash flows of pre-Contribution USMD and four-months of results of operations and cash flows of post-Contribution Holdings.

- Net Patient Service Revenue (“NPSR”)

Our net patient service revenue is driven by a patient encounter at one of our physician clinics. A patient sees the physician at one of our clinics and the physician may prescribe services that may be performed at one of our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories, cancer treatment center or other affiliated or unaffiliated healthcare facility. The net patient service revenue earned at our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories and cancer treatment center are almost exclusively derived from the physician clinic patient encounter. Our imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories and cancer treatment center only nominally serve patients or conduct tests not derived from our physician clinic patient encounter. For these reasons, we focus on the overall net patient service revenue per patient encounter metric.

Certain volume statistics are used internally as productivity measures (lab tests, imaging procedures, fractions treated) and we present these volume statistics within MD&A. Therefore, the ensuing MD&A discussion regarding net patient service revenue related metrics is consistent with our business structure.

The clinic patient encounter results in the direct provision of healthcare services and the prescription of diagnostic (imaging and laboratory services) and other therapeutic services (i.e. radiation treatments) that may be performed at our diagnostic laboratories, imaging centers and cancer treatment center. Patient encounter based clinic net patient service revenue increased $116.8 million or 201.1% while patient encounters and RVUs increased by 225.2% and 207.0%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, due primarily to the inclusion of a full year of activity related to businesses acquired in the Contribution. Net patient service revenue per patient encounter decreased 7.4% in 2013 as compared to 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to the composition of the periods compared. The 2012 metric includes four post-Contribution months and 2013 includes an entire annual period. The four-month 2012 period includes back-to-school and flu immunization seasons, which are generally beneficial to net patient service revenue due to the drug component of the patient encounter.

Other physician revenue represents non-clinic physician premium payments for quality measures, medical home, on-call pay and physician recruit guarantee revenues and increased to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $1.3 million in 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to the composition of the periods compared and the accumulation of activities spanning four months of 2012, compared to twelve months of activity in 2013.

The following table presents our net patient service revenue for the year-over-year comparative periods that include net patient service revenue (in thousands):

Patient encounter based clinic net patient service revenue increased $0.2 million or less than 1% for September – December 2013 as compared to September – December 2012. This increase was driven by a 7.1% increase in patient encounters for the year over year period. However, net patient service revenue per patient encounter decreased 6.2%, resulting from a shift to an overall lower acuity case mix. This shift in acuity is reflected in an approximately 8% decline in RVUs per charge, which generally garners lower reimbursement per patient encounter. Also contributing to the decline in net patient service revenue per patient encounter was a 2% decrease in higher reimbursing commercial payer sources and a corresponding 2% rise in government payer sources from 36% to 38% of charges.

- Capitated Revenue

In June 2013, WNI-DFW began operations and we began recording capitated revenue associated with the consolidated operations of WNI-DFW. Capitated revenue increased $8.8 million to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $0.7 million in 2012. The commencement of operations at WNI-DFW accounted for $7.4 million of the increase and $1.4 million of the increase is due to the inclusion of a full year of activity related to businesses acquired in the Contribution. The following table presents, as of December 31, 2013, the total number of capitated members to whom WNI-DFW provides healthcare services to and the associated aggregate member months. Member months represent the aggregate number of months of healthcare services WNI-DFW has provided to capitated members.

 

     Members      Member
Months
 

WNI-DFW capitated membership

     1,752         11,484   

Effective January 1, 2014, the WNI-DFW member count increased to 5,188. We anticipate increasing our capitated member counts through WNI-DFW or other entities focused on the Medicare Advantage market as we execute our strategy to move from an early-stage integrated health system to a fully integrated health system.

- Management and Other Services Revenue

Management services revenue includes revenue earned through the provision of management and support services to our nonconsolidated managed entities. Management services revenue increased 9.1% to $25.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $23.4 million in 2012.

Hospital management revenue earned from USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth increased $0.7 million or 4.9%. Hospital management revenue earned per surgical case at the hospitals increased 4.7%. A contractual 4.4 % inflation adjustment to reimbursable management and support costs contributed $0.3 million of the year over year increase in hospital management revenue. The hospitals expect to receive annual inflation adjustments to reimbursable management and support costs equivalent to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics Healthcare Services component of the Consumer Price Index. Surgical case volume at the hospitals was static in 2013 compared to 2012 resulting in a negligible increase in hospital management revenue due to volume changes year over year. However, a favorable shift to a higher acuity surgical case mix at the hospitals, mitigated in part by an unfavorable 1.0% change in commercial vs. government payer mix, was the primary catalyst for the increased hospital management revenue in 2013. This case mix, net of the payer mix-pricing shifts contributed $0.4 million to the increase in hospital management revenue in 2013.

Table of Contents

Lithotripsy management revenue decreased $0.2 million in 2013 as compared to 2012. The basis by which lithotripsy management revenue is calculated and earned may be based on the managed entity’s account collections, net income or cash flow and also includes variable support costs. In addition, the contractual management fee rate differs between managed entities. Shifts in the level of activity between managed entities affect the price mix of lithotripsy management revenue. Lithotripsy case volume at the managed lithotripsy entities decreased 2.0% and management revenue per managed lithotripsy case decreased 2.6%. The decrease in lithotripsy per case management revenue is primarily attributable to a shift in the price mix of the underlying management revenue basis calculation. The composition of the managed entities is the same in 2013 as 2012. Year over year individual entity contractual rates did not change significantly in 2013.

Cancer treatment center management revenue decreased $1.8 million in 2013 as compared to 2012. The basis by which cancer treatment center management revenue is earned may be derived from a percentage of the managed entity’s account collections, net income, a combination of collections and net income, or a fixed monthly fee with reimbursement of variable support costs. In addition, the contractual management fee rate differs between managed entities. Shifts in the level of activity between managed entities affect the price mix of cancer treatment center management revenue. In 2013, two contractual management arrangements with mature cancer treatment center groups affecting six cancer treatment centers were terminated. We also began managing four newly opened cancer treatment centers at various times throughout 2013. The net effect of this activity resulted in a $0.8 million decrease in consolidated cancer treatment center management revenue in 2013 as compared to 2012. In addition, in connection with the Contribution, effective September 1, 2012, one of the previously nonconsolidated managed cancer treatment centers became a wholly owned consolidated entity, resulting in a $0.8 million decrease in cancer treatment center management revenue in 2013 as compared to 2012. Same facility cancer treatment center management revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 6.9%. Same facility cancer center treatment volumes at the managed cancer treatment center entities decreased 3.3% while management revenue per managed cancer center treatment decreased 3.7%. The decrease in cancer treatment center management revenue per treatment attributable to volume declines was $0.1 million. In addition, a decline in treatment volumes for two centers with the highest management fee rates contributed $0.1 million to the decline in same facility revenues in 2013. Same facility year over year individual entity contractual rates did not change in 2013.

Other services revenue primarily consists of healthcare consulting services provided to third parties and income related to the early termination of management agreements. Other services revenue increased $3.1 million in 2013 as compared to 2012. Healthcare consulting services increased $1.5 million due to the inclusion of a full year of healthcare consulting services related to businesses acquired in the Contribution. In the second quarter of 2013, the owner of four cancer treatment centers located in Florida that were managed by one of our subsidiaries terminated its management agreements with us. We entered into a settlement agreement and received $0.9 million as a result of the early termination of the management agreements.

- Lithotripsy Revenue

Lithotripsy revenue consists of revenue of the consolidated lithotripsy entities, which decreased 3.8% to $21.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $22.2 million in 2012. One of the consolidated lithotripsy entities ceased operations during the first quarter of 2013 resulting in a $0.5 million comparative decrease in revenue. Lithotripsy entity case count remained flat in 2013 as compared to 2012 but a slight decrease in average contract price rate for the ongoing consolidated lithotripsy entities resulted in a $0.3 million decline. We anticipate pricing pressure to continue impacting lithotripsy revenue in 2014.

Operating Expenses

Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased to $154.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $62.7 million in 2012. The increase is primarily related to businesses acquired in the Contribution. The salaries, wages and employee benefits of the acquired businesses used to generate net patient service revenue have a higher relative cost than our historical salaries, wages and employee benefits. This higher cost of revenue accounted for the majority of the increase in salaries, wages and employee benefits as a percentage of net operating revenue to 65.6% in 2013 from 59.3% in 2012.

Medical supplies and services expense increased $22.1 million to $29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $7.1 million in 2012 due primarily to the commencement of operations at WNI-DFW and the nature of businesses acquired in the Contribution. WNI-DFW began managing patient care in June 2013 and the related cost of healthcare services resulted in an increase of $6.7 million. The businesses acquired in the Contribution provide health care services to patients in physician clinics and other health care facilities and utilize significant medical supplies and services in the provision of those services resulting in an increase of $14.5 million.

Rent expense increased $9.9 million to $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $5.1 million in 2012 due primarily to the businesses acquired in the Contribution. The acquired businesses provide their primary healthcare services in rented facilities. Expansion of leased space at the corporate office and a relocation of one of our business offices resulted in $0.9 million of the increase in rent expense.

Other operating expenses consist primarily of professional fees, purchased services, repairs and maintenance, travel expense and other expense. Other operating expenses increased 74.8% to $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $15.7 million in 2012. The net increase is primarily related to expenses of businesses acquired in the Contribution.

The physicians of USMD Physician Services generate Electronic Health Record incentive income, which we began recording after the Contribution. The incentive income increased $1.1 million to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $0.5 million in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.3 million to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $3.3 million in 2012. The increase is due to increases in depreciation and amortization of $3.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related primarily to property and equipment and intangible assets acquired and recorded at fair value in the Contribution and 2013 capital expenditures related to technology infrastructure and leasehold improvements.

Other Income, net

Other income, net increased $4.8 million to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $3.0 million in 2012 due primarily to a $6.0 million increase in equity in income of nonconsolidated affiliates. Increased ownership interests in USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth, as a result of the Contribution, accounted for a $4.0 million increase. Increased ownership interests in USMD Arlington as a result of the acquisition of Class P partnership interests accounted for a $1.2 million increase. An additional $0.8 million increase in equity in income of nonconsolidated affiliates is a result of increased profitability at USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth and the beginning of operations at new cancer treatment centers in Alaska and Missouri. Net interest expense increased $1.0 million as a result of the net increase in borrowings related to the Contribution and the issuance of convertible subordinated notes related to the acquisition of the Class P partnership interests, offset by an overall reduction in borrowing rates. The remaining decrease of $0.2 million is the result of a gain in 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes

Holdings’ effective tax rates were 1.6% and 9.7% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate is primarily due to the decline of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and adjustments to current income tax expense related to the Contribution. A slight increase in the effective rate related to state income taxes was offset by a decline in permanent differences related to 2012 non-deductible costs as a result of the Contribution.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Holdings’ ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $1.9 million to $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $11.7 million in 2012. Holdings’ increased ownership interest in three of the consolidated lithotripsy entities as a result of the Contribution accounted for $1.4 million of the decrease, and the dissolution of another consolidated lithotripsy entity accounted for $0.2 million of the decrease. An additional decrease of $0.3 million is related to a decline in net income of the remaining consolidated lithotripsy entities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We primarily rely on cash flows from operations and distributions from USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth, to fund our cash requirements. As of December 31, 2013, we had unrestricted available cash of $10.1 million, which is net of $3.0 million in cash held by certain consolidated entities that is unavailable for general corporate purposes. On February 25, 2014, we renewed our revolving credit facility for 16 months to June 30, 2015. The revolving credit facility is available for working capital needs. Under the credit agreement entered into contemporaneously with the Contribution, we are required to maintain a $5.0 million restricted cash balance. We began making principal payments under the credit facility in December 2012. During April 2013, we borrowed $3.0 million under the revolving credit facility. We expect that our cash flows from operations will increase during 2014. However, as we continue to execute our strategy to become a fully integrated health system, we will continue to incur integration and infrastructure improvement costs and we may be required to borrow additional funds under the revolving credit facility or seek other sources of financing.

Our near term business plan contemplates expansion in the North Texas service area by hiring physicians, developing, partnering with or acquiring complementary physician group practices and ancillary healthcare service providers and increasing our managed patient population served by WNI-DFW and/or other entities focused on the Medicare Advantage market. We also plan to expand our count of primary care physicians and specialists in our areas of focus and areas that expand our physician-led integrated health system offerings. The implementation of some of these strategies will require additional capital, which we may seek through public or private financings or through other debt or equity transactions. In addition, if we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible securities, dilution to then existing stockholders may result.

Operating Activities

During 2013, we had increases in accounts receivable, inventories and other assets that were offset by net growth in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to an increase in clinic patient services accounts receivable. The increase is attributable to procedural issues in the clinics where medical services are provided to our patients. Subsequent to the Contribution, we experienced a number of issues at the clinic level involving the execution of timely and accurate front end capture of charges, codes, demographics, consents, and insurance information necessary to timely file claims and follow-up on open accounts. The impact on the collection cycle of the procedural issues at the clinic level has resulted in an increase in days net revenue outstanding. Days outstanding increased from 28 at December 31, 2012 to 38 days at December 31, 2013. Due to a concentrated training effort and institution of uniform processes at the clinic level, and a declining backlog in merger-related enrollment accounts receivable, we believe the growth in the collections cycle will begin to reverse.

During 2013, we began purchasing certain oncology drugs due to the addition of a new physician and purchased additional quantities of IUD’s due to expected 2014 price increases resulting in a $0.5 million increase in inventories.

During 2013, we used shares of USMD Holdings common stock, with a fair value of $0.8 million, to pay a portion of 2012 bonuses to certain executives and members of senior management and to pay a portion of 2013 accrued compensation. We also used shares of USMD Holdings common stock, with a fair value of $0.4 million, to pay a portion of an executive’s 2013 severance in accordance with a severance agreement.

The net growth in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is primarily related to a $1.9 million increase in accrued liabilities due to the operations of WNI-DFW, a $2.8 million increase related to 2013 physician bonuses, which are scheduled to be paid in the first quarter of 2014, and a net increase of $2.4 million in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $3.0 million in 2013 was primarily attributable to $2.8 million of cash used for capital expenditures and a $0.2 million investment in a new cancer treatment center. Cash paid for capital expenditures was primarily for technology infrastructure and leasehold improvements.

We anticipate capital expenditures of $2.0 million to $2.5 million in 2014, primarily related to investments in our technology infrastructure and the replacement of lithotripsy equipment at our consolidated lithotripsy entities. The consolidated lithotripsy entities generally finance the acquisition of lithotripsy equipment.

Financing Activities

During April 2013, we borrowed $3.0 million under the revolving credit facility to maintain a minimum level of cash for management operations. During the third quarter of 2013, one of the Company’s consolidated lithotripsy partnerships executed a $0.5 million note payable with a third party to finance the purchase of equipment from another consolidated lithotripsy partnership.

Scheduled principal payments on long-term debt made in 2013 totaled $5.7 million versus $2.9 million in 2012. The increase is primarily related to the long-term debt borrowed in connection with the Contribution (see Credit Agreement below).

Payment of debt issuance costs in 2013 is related to the February 2013 renewal of our revolving credit facility and the September 2013 issuance of convertible subordinated notes (see Convertible Subordinated Notes below).

Distributions to noncontrolling interests, net of contributions, were $9.6 million in 2013. In connection with the Contribution, the Company acquired certain noncontrolling interests in entities it consolidates, resulting in a decrease compared to 2012, as those acquired interests are no longer entitled to distributions.

Credit Agreement

For the principal terms of the Credit Agreement, see Note 10, Long-Term Debt, Capital Lease Obligations and Other Long-Term Liabilities, to our December 31, 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report. On February 25, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment No. 3”). Among other things, Amendment No. 3 extended the maturity date of the Revolver from February 28, 2014 to June 30, 2015. In addition, Amendment No. 3 reduced the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and established the senior leverage ratio requirement.

At December 31, 2013, we were subject to a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.50:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters from and including December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013 and of 1.25:1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning March 31, 2014 through August 31, 2017. Under Amendment No. 3, we were also subject to a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a senior leverage ratio less than or equal to 1.50:1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters from and including December 31, 2013 through September 30, 2014 and of 1.25:1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning December 31, 2014 through August 31, 2017.

In early 2014, we determined that we had not been in compliance with our fixed charge coverage ratio or senior leverage ratio covenants. Effective April 14, 2014, we obtained from the Credit Agreement lenders a permanent waiver of the existing covenant violations. In addition, the lenders amended the Credit Agreement resulting in modifications to the fixed charge coverage ratio, the senior leverage ratio covenant requirements, the Revolver commitment amount and the Tranche C Term Loan maturity date (collectively, “Amendment No. 4”).

Amendment No. 4 reduced the fixed charge coverage ratio to greater than or equal to 1.00:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2013 and 0.35:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014. Subsequent to those dates, the Company is subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant as described above and in Amendment No. 3. Amendment No. 4 waived the senior leverage ratio requirement at December 31, 2013, increased the senior leverage ratio to less than or equal to 3.10:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014, decreased the senior leverage ratio to less than or equal to 1.25:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2014 and decreased the ratio to less than or equal to 1.00:1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters from and including September 30, 2014 through August 31, 2017. Amendment No. 4 reduced the Revolver commitment amount to $3.0 million from $10.0 million and amended the Tranche C Term Loan maturity date to April 2014.

We are taking steps to increase physician production and strategically reduce expenses but there can be no assurance we will be successful in implementing these changes or maintaining compliance with the financial and other covenants in our Credit Agreement. In the event we are unable to comply with these covenants during future periods, it is uncertain whether our lenders will grant waivers for our noncompliance. If there is an event of default by us under our Credit Agreement, our lenders have the option to, among other things, accelerate any and all of our obligations under the Credit Agreement, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Credit Agreement lenders accelerate our obligations upon an event of default, replacement financing may not be available when needed, or may only be available on terms that could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

Convertible Subordinated Notes

Effective September 1, 2013, we issued Convertible Subordinated Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $24.3 million to certain limited partners of USMD Arlington to acquire their limited partnership interests in USMD Arlington.

The Convertible Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% per annum and mature on March 1, 2019. Interest payments are due and payable on the last day of each month and the principal is due upon maturity. We have the option, to prepay the Convertible Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time after September 1, 2014.

Each noteholder will have the right at any time after September 1, 2014 to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of his or her respective Convertible Subordinated Note into shares of common stock of Holdings at the rate of one share of common stock for each $23.37 of principal. At the date of execution

Table of Contents

of the Convertible Subordinated Notes, the commitment date, the conversion option was in-the-money. We recognized the intrinsic value of the conversion option’s in-the-money portion as a $3.7 million beneficial conversion discount to the debt with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. The beneficial conversion discount will be accreted to the Convertible Subordinated Notes using the effective interest method over 66 months until they mature on March 1, 2019. The conversion rate will be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, mergers or other fundamental corporate transactions.

The $24.3 million aggregate value of the Convertible Subordinated Notes is convertible into 1,041,581 common shares at a conversion price of $23.37 per share. The Convertible Subordinated Notes have an effective interest rate of 8.50%.

The indebtedness represented by the Convertible Subordinated Notes is expressly subordinate to all senior indebtedness of Holdings currently outstanding or incurred in the future, which includes without limitation its indebtedness to banks.

We intend to fund the required interest payments under the Convertible Subordinated Notes with available cash balances, cash provided by operating activities and distributions from USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for guarantees discussed below, we do not have any arrangements that qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

As of December 31, 2013, we had issued guarantees to third parties of the indebtedness and other obligations of certain of our nonconsolidated investees. Should the investees fail to pay the obligations due, we could be required to make payments totaling an aggregate of $20.8 million. The guarantees provide for recourse against the investee; however, if we are required to perform under one or more guarantees, recovery of any amount would be unlikely. The remaining terms of these guarantees range from 13 to 75 months. We record a liability for performance under financial guarantees, when, upon review of available financial information of the nonconsolidated affiliate, and in consideration of pertinent factors, management determines it is probable that we will have to perform under the guarantee and the liability is reasonably estimable. We have not recorded a liability for these guarantees, as we believe the likelihood that we will have to perform under these agreements is remote.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that we believe to be relevant at the time we prepare our consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our December 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the

most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, as they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Where we have provided sensitivity analyses in the “Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions” columns below, the variance assumptions used in those analyses are based on outcomes that we consider reasonably likely to occur.

Revenue Recognition – Patient Service

Revenue

We record patient service revenue during the period healthcare services are provided based upon estimated net realizable amounts due from third-party payers and patients, which includes an estimate of revenue earned but not billed.

 

Amounts we receive for patient services paid by patients and third-party payers such as managed care health plans and commercial insurers, governmental programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and other payers are generally less than our customary charges and patient service revenue is recorded net of these contractual allowances and discounts.

 

All physician practice and ancillary services contractual allowance calculations are subject to monthly review by management to ensure reasonableness and accuracy.

  

Net patient services revenue includes amounts estimated by management to be reimbursable by third-party payers. The process of calculating contractual allowances requires us to estimate the payment amount based on third-party payer contract provisions.

 

Discounts off customary charges result from the reduction of our customary charges to prospectively established fee schedule amounts and other contract provisions. The estimates of contractual allowances on charges posted for the period involve payer-specific estimates of patient services revenue based on the most significant contractual reimbursement methodologies such as percent of charges, fixed fee schedules and multi-procedure discounting. However, the calculations do not take into consideration all contract provisions that may limit reimbursement, but provide an estimate of net realizable value. Revenue is adjusted when the parties (insurer and patient/guarantor) obligated under the contract have tendered payment on the claim. Historically, these payment adjustments have not been material

  

If the actual contractual reimbursement percentage under government programs and managed care contracts differed by 1% from our estimated reimbursement percentage, net patient service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have changed by $0.1 million. Final settlements under some of these programs are subject to adjustment based on administrative review and audit by third parties.

 

If the actual reimbursement percentage of unbilled charges differed by 1% from our estimated reimbursement percentage, net patient service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have changed by a nominal amount. Final settlements under some of these programs are subject to adjustment based on administrative review and audit by third parties.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from third-party payers and patients of our healthcare facilities. We also have accounts receivable from healthcare entities that we provide management and lithotripsy services to.

 

The primary collection risks relate to uninsured patient accounts, including patient accounts for which the primary insurance carrier has paid the amounts covered by the applicable agreement, but patient responsibility amounts (deductibles, coinsurance amounts and copayments) remain outstanding. Bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts relate primarily to amounts due directly from patients. We write off uncollectible accounts once collection efforts are exhausted.

  

We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts by reserving a percentage of all self-pay accounts receivable based on collection history, adjusted for expected recoveries and, if present, anticipated changes in trends that may affect collection.

 

Management relies on the results of detailed reviews of historical collection and write-off data as a primary source of information in estimating the collectibility of its accounts receivable. We perform this analysis monthly, utilizing monthly accounts receivable collection and write-off data. We also regularly review our overall reserve adequacy by monitoring historical cash collections as a percentage of trailing net revenue less bad debt expense.

 

We believe our monthly updates to the allowance for doubtful accounts provide reasonable valuations of our accounts receivable. To date, these routine changes in estimates have not resulted in material adjustments to our allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense or period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations.

  

If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material. Changes in general economic conditions, payer mix, or trends in federal governmental and private employer healthcare coverage could affect our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, collection of accounts receivable, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

If the actual bad debt percentage differed by 10% from its estimated bad debt rate, net patient service revenue and net accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have changed by approximately $0.2 million.

Incurred But Not Reported Medical

Claims

In connection with the operations of WNI-DFW, we make estimates related to incurred but not reported medical claims (“IBNR”) of WNI-DFW. The patient population that WNI-DFW provides health services to has limited medical claims activity from which claims-based actuarial judgments can be made. In addition, the full population is relatively small for precise actuarial determinations.   

In addition to calculating IBNR using an actuarial estimate based on historical medical claims activity, we include an adjustment factor based on broader patient populations deemed to be similar in risk profile to the WNI-DFW managed patient population.

 

As the size of our member population increases and medical claims experience grows, uncertainties in preparing the IBNR estimate will be reduced.

  

If the actual IBNR medical claims experience is not consistent with our estimated IBNR, we may be exposed to variances in medical supplies and services expense that may be material. Variances in the underlying health of the WNI-DFW managed patient population from our assessment could affect the medical claims experience and IBNR estimate.

 

If the actual claims experience differs 10% from the assumption used in our estimate, IBNR would have increased/decreased by $0.2 million.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

We test goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. Such circumstances may include(1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate, (2) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or (3) other adverse changes in the assessment of future operations of a reporting unit. We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which we have determined is one level below the operating segment level.

 

The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill is assigned to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, then we conclude that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a potential impairment is indicated and step two is performed.

 

Step two compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities, including unrecognized intangible assets, of that reporting unit based on their fair values, similar to the allocation that occurs in a business combination.

 

The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired.

 

For the goodwill impairment analyses conducted in 2013 and 2012, we concluded that there was no impairment.

 

To test impairment of acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets (trade names), the fair values are estimated and compared to their carrying values. We recognize an impairment charge when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value.

 

For the indefinite-lived trade name impairment analysis conducted in 2013 and 2012, we concluded that there was no impairment. We perform our annual impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31.

  

In estimating the fair value of reporting units, we make estimates and judgments about future cash flows and market valuations using a combination of income, cost and market approaches, as appropriate.

 

We primarily rely on an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis, which includes assumptions for, among others, discount rates, cash flow projections, growth rates and terminal value rates, all of which require significant judgment. This type of analysis contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment to estimate industry economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies. It is our policy to conduct impairment testing based on our current business strategy in light of present industry and economic conditions, as well as our future expectations.

 

We estimate the fair value of trade names based on an income approach – relief from royalty method. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these types of assets. This approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and trends, royalty rates in the category of intellectual property, discount rates and other variables.

  

As a result of step one of the 2013 goodwill impairment analysis, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. Therefore, the second step was not necessary and no goodwill impairment was recorded.

 

The estimated fair values of all reporting units – physician and ancillary services, lithotripsy and cancer treatment center – significantly exceeded their carrying values.

 

We have not made material changes in the accounting methodology we use to assess goodwill impairment during the past two years. Changes in the estimates, assumptions and other qualitative factors used to conduct goodwill impairment tests, including future cash flow projections, could indicate that our goodwill is impaired in future periods and result in a potentially material impairment of goodwill.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

We evaluate our long-lived assets and identifiable acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives for possible impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or related group of assets, may not be recoverable. Examples include a current expectation that an asset will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful live, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which we use an asset or in its physical condition, or a significant decrease in the expected recoverability of an asset.

 

When evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, we compare the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets exceeds the respective fair value.

 

If we recognize an impairment loss, the adjusted carrying amount of the asset becomes its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of that asset.

 

No long-lived asset or finite-lived intangible asset impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

   Our impairment analyses contain uncertainties because they require us to make assumptions and apply judgment to estimate future cash flows, including forecasting useful lives of the assets and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows. Fair value of assets is estimated based on appraisals, established market values of comparable assets or internal estimates of discounted future cash flows.   

We have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to assess long-lived or finite-lived intangible asset impairment loss during the past two years.

 

We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood of a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to calculate long-lived or finite-lived intangible asset impairment losses. However, if actual results are not consistent with the estimates and assumptions we use in estimating future cash flows, we may be exposed to future impairment losses that could be material.

Effect if Actual Results

Share-Based Payments
We determine the estimated fair value of our stock option awards to employees and directors at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.   

Option pricing models require us to make assumptions and apply judgment to determine the fair value of our awards. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of our stock price, the expected life of the option and the risk free interest rate. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

 

As a recently formed public entity with a small public float and very limited trading of our public common shares on the NASDAQ stock market, it was not practicable for us to calculate the volatility of our common shares; therefore, we estimated volatility based on the historical and implied volatilities of a small group of companies we consider as close as comparable to the Company as available and an industry index, all equally weighted, over the expected life of the option. We concluded that this combination was more characteristic of our business than a broad industry index. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that we expect them to be outstanding based on the “simplified” method, which is allowed for companies that cannot reasonably estimate expected life of options based on historical share option exercise experience. The risk free interest rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities that correspond to the expected life of the option.

  

If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions used, the share-based payment expense reported in our financial statements may not be representative of the actual economic cost of the share-based payment.

 

A 10% increase in estimated volatility of awards granted in 2013 would have increased share-based payment expense by $48,000.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

USMD Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of USMD Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of USMD Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

USMD HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business:

USMD Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on May 7, 2010 to facilitate the business combination of USMD Inc., a Texas corporation (“USMD”), Urology Associates of North Texas, L.L.P., a Texas limited liability partnership (“UANT”), and UANT Ventures, L.L.P., a Texas limited liability partnership (“Ventures”) (such transaction, the “Contribution”). Holdings described this transaction in its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Prior to the consummation of the Contribution, on December 1, 2011, Ventures and Holdings entered into a merger agreement with The Medical Clinic of North Texas, P.A., a Texas professional association (“MCNT”), and on December 15, 2011, Ventures and Holdings entered into a merger agreement with Impel Management Services, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (“Impel”), pursuant to which the businesses of MCNT and Impel were merged into subsidiaries of Ventures immediately prior to the Contribution, and these businesses were contributed by Ventures to Holdings as part of the Contribution. Holdings described these transactions in a post-effective amendment to its Registration Statement filed with the SEC on February 10, 2012, which was declared effective on April 30, 2012. Effective August 31, 2012, Holdings and the other parties consummated the Contribution (see Note 3).

The Company is an innovative early-stage physician-led integrated health system. Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, the Company provides health care services to patients in physician clinics, hospitals and other health care facilities, and the Company also provides management and operational services to hospitals and other healthcare service providers. An integrated health system is considered early-stage when it has not yet established all the components necessary to be considered a fully integrated health system.

A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole member of a Texas certified non-profit healthcare organization that owns and operates a multi-specialty physician group practice (“USMD Physician Services”) in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area. Through other wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company provides management and operational services to two short-stay hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area and provides management and/or operational services to six cancer treatment centers in five states and 21 lithotripsy service providers primarily located in the South-Central United States. Of these managed entities, the Company has ownership interests in the two hospitals, two cancer treatment centers and 20 lithotripsy service providers. The Company also wholly owns and operates two clinical laboratories, one anatomical pathology laboratory, one cancer treatment center and one lithotripsy service provider in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area.

Basis of Presentation:

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, entities controlled by the Company through its direct or indirect ownership of a majority interest and any other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates VIEs where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates entities in which it or its wholly owned subsidiary is the general partner or managing member and the limited partners or managing members, respectively, do not have sufficient rights to overcome the presumption of the Company’s control. The Company eliminates all significant intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation.

The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in entities it or its wholly owned subsidiaries do not control, but over which it or its wholly owned subsidiaries have the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company does not consolidate equity method investments, but rather measures them at their initial cost and subsequently adjusts their carrying values through income for the Company’s respective share of earnings or losses during the period.

As a result of the Contribution, the Company’s statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 include eight months of results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of pre-Contribution USMD and four months of results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of the consolidated post-Contribution Company. The Company’s statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 include a full year of results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of the consolidated post-Contribution Company.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Patient Service Revenue: The Company records patient service revenue during the period healthcare services are provided based upon estimated amounts due from third-party payers and patients. Amounts the Company receives for patient services paid by patients and third-party payers such as managed care health plans and commercial insurers, governmental programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and other payers are generally less than the Company’s customary charges. Patient service revenue is recorded net of these contractual allowances and discounts. The estimation of contractual allowances on charges posted for the period involve payer-specific estimates of net patient services revenue based on the most significant contractual reimbursement methodologies. However, the calculations do not take into consideration all contract provisions that may limit reimbursement, but provide an estimate of net realizable value. Revenue is adjusted when the parties (insurer and patient/guarantor) obligated under the contract have tendered payment on the claim. Historically, these payment adjustments have not been material.

To provide for patients’ accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, the net patient services revenue and accounts receivable reported in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements are recorded at the net amount expected to be received.

Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as wel as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

December 31, 2013

 

Capitated Revenue: The Company’s consolidated VIE, WNI-DFW, earns capitated revenue (fixed payment per member per month) by contracting with an entity that operates a health services company that contracts directly with a health plan. Capitated revenue is prepaid monthly to WNI-DFW based on the number of Medicare Advantage members of that network electing WNI-DFW primary care physicians as their healthcare provider, regardless of actual medical services utilized. Capitation revenue is reported as revenue in the month in which members are entitled to receive health care. Capitation revenue pertaining to Medicare enrollees is subject to possible retroactive premium risk adjustments based on their individual acuity. Due to lack of sufficient data to project the amount of such retroactive adjustments, the Company records any corresponding retroactive revenues in the year of receipt.

Management Services Revenue: The Company earns management services revenue through the provision of management services to its managed entities. Management fee revenues are generally recognized based on a defined percentage of cash collections or adjusted net revenues of the Company’s managed entities. These terms and percentages are contractually defined and the Company recognizes revenue when the contractual terms are met. The Company may also provide certain managed entities with operational and finance support services. Revenue for these services is included in management and other services revenue and is recognized as the services are provided and contractual terms are met.

Lithotripsy Services Revenue: The Company provides lithotripsy services to hospitals and other medical facilities. Lithotripsy services revenue is comprised of the revenue of consolidated lithotripsy entities that the Company controls. Lithotripsy services revenue is recognized as services are provided and reported based on actual contract price or estimated net realizable amounts.

Physician Recruitment Agreements: In order to meet the hospitals’ needs, hospitals enter into physician recruitment agreements with physicians and/or group practices that employ them under which hospitals agree to contribute to the salary expense of physicians who are recruited to their service area. Several hospitals have entered into such agreements with USMD Physician Services and/or physicians that are employed by that entity or its wholly owned subsidiaries. Under such agreements, the hospital will typically provide the physician with a guaranteed income during an initial guarantee period, generally one year. Amounts paid by a hospital under such agreements are subject to repayment, and repayment is secured by a note payable to the hospital with repayment terms generally beginning in the month following the end of the guarantee period. Principal and interest payments are due monthly over a defined commitment period, generally three years, and the obligation to make monthly installment payments is forgiven on the due date provided no events of default have occurred. Events of default are typically defined as, but not limited to, failure of the physician to maintain a practice in the service area of the hospital as established in the agreement or entering into competing agreements. Upon an event of default, amounts not previously forgiven are due to the hospital in accordance with the terms of the note and, typically, the payment of future installment note payments can be accelerated.

USMD Physician Services records physician recruitment agreement payments received from hospitals for the benefit of employed physicians as deferred revenue and recognizes associated patient service revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the commitment period. Upon an event of default, amounts due are reclassified to notes payable; however, historically, such amounts have not been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of patient service revenue associated with physician recruitment agreements. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has on the consolidated balance sheet $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of deferred revenue associated with physician recruitment agreements included in other current liabilities and $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of deferred revenue associated with physician recruitment agreements included in other long-term liabilities. The Company had no physician recruitment payments, revenue or balances prior to August 31, 2012.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions; however, deposits held with financial institutions often exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. The Company grants credit without requiring collateral from its non-patient customers, primarily area healthcare facilities. The Company grants credit without requiring collateral from its patients, most of whom are area residents and are insured under third-party payer agreements. The credit risk for non-governmental accounts receivable is limited due to the number of insurance companies and other payers that provide payment and reimbursement for patient services. Collection risks principally relate to self-pay patient accounts, including patient accounts for which the primary insurance payer has paid but patient responsibility amounts (generally deductibles, coinsurance and copayments) remain outstanding. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the mix of gross patient and customer accounts receivable is as follows:

 

     December 31,  
     2013     2012  

Government-related programs

     29     37

Managed care and commercial payers

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, USMD Hospital at Arlington, L.P. accounted for 5% and 11%, respectively, of net operating revenue.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of patient and customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews this allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a patient’s or customer’s ability to pay. Uncollectible accounts are written off once collection efforts are exhausted. A summary of the Company’s accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts activity is as follows (in thousands):

2012

   $ 428         889         107         (368     71       $ 1,127   

If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and judgments, it may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material. Changes in general economic conditions or payer mix, or trends in federal governmental and private employer healthcare coverage could affect the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, collection of accounts receivable, or financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposit accounts.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of pharmacy supplies and are stated at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures that increase capacities or extend useful lives are capitalized while routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense as incurred. Leased property meeting certain criteria is capitalized and the present value of the related lease payments is recorded as a liability. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements and capitalized lease assets are amortized over the respective lease term used in determining the lease classification or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. When property is sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations. Estimated useful lives of assets follow American Hospital Association guidelines where applicable and are as follows at December 31, 2013:

 

Leasehold improvements

     1-15 years   

Furniture and equipment

     2-15 years   

Software

     1-5 years   

Assets acquired in the Contribution are being depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives, from one to six years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets include property and equipment and equity investments in nonconsolidated affiliates. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets and identifiable acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives for possible impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or related group of assets, may not be recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. When evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated fair value. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets exceeds the respective fair value. Fair value of assets is estimated based on appraisals, established market values of comparable assets or internal estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on assumptions and projections it believes to be reasonable and supportable. No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. The Company amortizes the cost of intangible assets with finite useful lives over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual value. At December 31, 2013, none of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets had an estimated residual value.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Such circumstances may include (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate, (2) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or (3) other adverse changes in the assessment of future operations of a reporting unit.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level, which for the Company is one level below the operating segment level. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a potential impairment is indicated and step two is performed. Step two compares the carrying amount of the reporting

unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities, including unrecognized intangible assets, of that reporting unit based on their fair values, similar to the allocation that occurs in a business combination. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired.

To test impairment of acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets (trade names), the fair values are estimated and compared to their carrying amounts. The Company estimates the fair value of these intangible assets based on an income approach – relief from royalty method. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these types of assets. This approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and trends, royalty rates in the category of intellectual property, discount rates and other variables. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying amount.

The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31.

Electronic Health Record Incentive Income

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) provides for incentive payments under the Medicare program for certain hospitals and physician practices that demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record (“EHR”) technology. These provisions of ARRA are intended to promote the adoption and meaningful use of interoperable health information technology and qualified EHR technology. The Company accounts for Medicare EHR incentive payments in accordance with ASC 450-30, “Gain Contingencies” (“ASC 450-30”). The Company recognizes a gain for EHR incentive payments when its participating physicians have demonstrated meaningful use of certified EHR technology for the applicable period. Once the physicians have demonstrated meaningful use of certified EHR technology for the applicable period, no further contingencies exist as related to the Medicare EHR incentives for physicians. However, individual payment amounts are subject to audit by the administrative contractor and the auditor’s final determination of amounts earned could differ materially from amounts recorded.

Share-Based Payments

Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their estimated grant-date fair value. Share-based payments are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period; however, where the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested exceeds straight-line amortization, the vested portion is recognized.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, and the weight of that evidence to the extent such evidence can be objectively verified, management determines it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. Primary factors considered include historical earnings, estimates of current and expected future earnings, availability, or lack thereof, of taxable income in prior carryback periods that would limit realization of tax benefits, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and current and future ownership changes.

Management considers many factors when evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and such judgments are subject to periodic review. Tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized in the period in which one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) the more likely than not recognition threshold is satisfied; (2) the position is ultimately settled through negotiation or litigation; or (3) the statute of limitations for the taxing authority to examine and challenge the position has expired. Tax benefits associated with an uncertain tax position are derecognized in the period in which the more likely than not recognition threshold is no longer satisfied. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense.

The determination and evaluation of the Company’s provision for income taxes and analysis of uncertain tax positions items requires significant judgment and knowledge of federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and, if necessary, any valuation allowances that may be required for deferred tax assets. While the Company believes it has adequately provided for its income tax receivables or liabilities and deferred tax assets or liabilities in accordance with applicable income tax guidance, adverse determinations by taxing authorities or changes in tax laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. The basis for these assumptions establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

  Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

39


Table of Contents

USMD HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

December 31, 2013

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques. The three valuation techniques are as follows:

 

  Market approach – Prices and other market-related information involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities;

 

  Cost approach – Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (i.e., replacement cost); and

 

  Income approach – Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option pricing models and lattice models).

Investments in Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in entities the Company does not control but in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses after the date of investment, additional contributions made, dividends or distributions received, and impairment losses resulting from adjustments to net realizable value. The Company records equity method losses in excess of the carrying amount of an investment when the Company guarantees obligations or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support to the affiliate.

The Company regularly monitors and evaluates the fair value of its equity method investments. If events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the fair value of these assets has occurred and is other than temporary, the Company will adjust investments in nonconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s equity investments do not have a readily determinable fair value as none of them are publicly traded. The fair values of the Company’s private equity investments are primarily determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows of each entity. These cash flow estimates include assumptions on growth rates, discount rates and terminal values (Level 3 fair value measurement).

Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of less-than-100%-owned affiliates that the Company controls. Accordingly, the Company has recorded noncontrolling interests in the earnings and equity of such entities. The Company records adjustments to controlling interests for the allocable portion of income or loss to which the noncontrolling interests’ holders are entitled based upon the portion of the subsidiaries they own. Contributions from and distributions to holders of noncontrolling interests are adjusted to the respective noncontrolling interests holders’ balance. The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of 18 less-than-100%-owned lithotripsy entities that it controls and one variable interest entity in which it has a controlling financial interest (see Note 4).

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The financial statements of the Company’s nonconsolidated foreign affiliate in Mexico are measured in local currency and then translated into U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities have been translated using the current rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Results of operations have been translated using the average rates prevailing throughout the year. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates are accumulated as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Segment Reporting

GAAP defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources at the integrated health system level. Accordingly, the Company has one operating segment for segment reporting purposes.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses all advertising costs when incurred. The Company incurred $0.3 million in advertising expense for both years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, which is included in other operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include patient service revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, incurred but not reported medical claims, certain assumptions used in valuations and impairment analyses, depreciable lives of assets, fair value of stock options, the tax provision and contingency and litigation reserves. While management believes current estimates are reasonable and appropriate, the Company cannot predict future events and their effects with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as better data becomes available, as additional information is obtained, and as facts and circumstances change. The Company evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in evaluations, as considered necessary. Actual results could differ materially from estimates.

Out of Period Adjustment:

In calculating the Company’s December 31, 2012 provision for income taxes, certain deferred rent activity that should have been attributed to the opening balance sheet of one of the companies acquired in the Contribution was incorrectly recorded as current period activity. This error resulted in an understatement of the provision for income taxes and an overstatement of goodwill at December 31, 2012 in the amount of $196,000. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company corrected this error by recording additional income tax provision of $196,000 and decreasing goodwill by the same amount. The impact of this out of period adjustment was not material to the consolidated results, financial position or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Note 3 – Business Combination

The Contribution

On August 31, 2012, Holdings, USMD, UANT, Ventures, MCNT and Impel consummated the Contribution. The Contribution was accounted for as a reverse acquisition by USMD into Holdings, previously a business combination related shell company. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the financial statements are issued in the name of the legal parent (Holdings), but represent a continuation of the accounting acquirer’s (USMD) financial statements, with an adjustment to retroactively restate USMD’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of Holdings. The assets and liabilities of USMD continue to be recorded at their pre-combination carrying values. The assets and liabilities of Holdings are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, which, for Holdings, equaled their carrying values. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Ventures, UANT, MCNT and Impel (the “acquired businesses”) are recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date.

In connection with the Contribution, Holdings issued as consideration to the former owners of Ventures, UANT, MCNT and Impel, approximately 6.4 million shares of its common stock with an estimated fair value of $158.1 million and options to purchase an additional 68,982 shares of its common stock with an estimated fair value of $0.5 million. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Ventures, UANT, MCNT and Impel at the acquisition date (in thousands):

The Company determined the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed utilizing valuations prepared as of August 31, 2012 and substantially finalized December 18, 2012. The Company determined an estimated net enterprise value of Ventures, UANT, MCNT and Impel using an income approach – discounted cash flow methodology. The analysis included each business unit’s assumptions regarding (1) the development of new businesses and organic growth rates specific to it, (2) managed care reimbursement rates where applicable, (3) discount rates of 16.1% for UANT and Ventures, 15.8% for MCNT and 12.4% for Impel, each developed using a weighted average cost of capital analysis, and (4) capital expenditure requirements associated with any new initiatives developed by such business unit. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 fair value measurements.

As discussed in Note 2, in connection with the Contribution, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company reduced goodwill and liabilities assumed by $196,000. In addition, in June 2013, in connection with the valuation of fixed assets acquired, the Company reduced property and equipment acquired and increased goodwill by $171,000. As of August 31, 2013, the Company’s measurement period adjustments are complete.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded to goodwill in the amount of $86.4 million. Goodwill primarily represents the growth opportunities of the Company as an integrated health system and the knowledge and experience of the workforce of the acquired businesses. None of the goodwill recorded as a result of the Contribution is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

In connection with the Contribution, the Company acquired additional ownership interests in three lithotripsy partnerships in which it had controlling interests and therefore consolidated. As a result, on the date of acquisition, additional paid-in capital increased and noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries decreased $0.9 million.

   $ 29,102      
  

 

 

    

At the date of acquisition, the weighted-average amortization period of total identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Contribution, excluding goodwill and identifiable indefinite lived intangible assets, was 14.7 years. At December 31, 2012, the weighted average period before renewal or extension of acquired management agreements was 29.7 years.

Most of the former owners of UANT and MCNT, all of whom are licensed physicians, entered into ten-year employment agreements with USMD Physician Services or its wholly owned subsidiary and these agreements include covenants not to compete. The fair value of the noncompete agreements was estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on estimated reductions in revenue if the former owners of UANT and MCNT were to compete with the Company and discount rates of 16.1% and 15.8%, respectively. The estimated fair values of the trade names of UANT, MCNT and Impel were calculated using an income approach – relief from royalty method, whereby the economic value of the asset is the ability to provide the Company relief from royalty costs. A pre-tax royalty rate of 1% and a discount rate of 17% were used. A subsidiary of Impel provides healthcare consulting services and establishes customer relationships through contract. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships was determined using an income approach – multi-period excess earnings method with a discount rate of 14.5%. Until the acquisition date, Impel had in place a management services agreement with MCNT; in connection with the Contribution, this agreement was terminated and a new management services agreement was entered into between USMD Physician Services and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The estimated fair value of the acquired management agreement intangible asset was determined using an income approach – multi-period excess earnings method with a discount rate of 13.5%, net of contributory charges.

Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis because this methodology most accurately reflects the estimated usage pattern of the assets.

- Supplemental Pro Forma Disclosures

The results of operations and cash flows of the acquired businesses are included in Holdings’ consolidated financial statements beginning September 1, 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the acquired businesses contributed net operating revenues of $182.7 million and $60.6 million, respectively. It is impracticable for the Company to determine the amount of earnings of the acquired businesses included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012 due to the significant transfers of personnel, fixed assets and departments into and between newly created or historical departments and business units that have occurred subsequent to the Contribution.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma results as if the entities had been combined on January 1, 2011. The pro forma financial information includes adjustments to give effect to activity that is directly attributable to the Contribution, factually supportable and expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of operations. The pro forma financial information also includes adjustments to give effect to direct, incremental costs of the Contribution as nonrecurring charges directly related to the Contribution. The pro forma combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the results of operations that would have been realized had Holdings, USMD, Ventures, UANT, MCNT and Impel been a combined company during the specified periods (in thousands, except per share data).

Acquisitions of Physician Practices

In July and November 2013, the Company acquired two physician practices in exchange for an aggregate 4,502 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $133,000.

Note 4 – Variable Interest Entity

In April 2013, the Company became an equal co-member of a Texas non-profit corporation (WNI-DFW) that has been approved by the Texas Medical Board as a certified non-profit healthcare organization. WNI-DFW has a contractual arrangement to manage patient care by providing or arranging for the provision of all the necessary healthcare services for a health plan’s given Medicare Advantage patient population in the North Texas area served by WNI-DFW. Pursuant to the arrangement, WNI-DFW receives a fixed fee per patient under what is typically known as a “risk contract.” Risk contracting, or full risk capitation, refers to a model in which an entity receives from the third party payer a fixed payment per member per month for a defined patient population, and the entity is then responsible for arranging and/or providing all of the healthcare services required by that patient population. The entity accomplishes this by managing patient care and by contracting with downstream healthcare providers to provide needed healthcare services for the patient population. In such a model, the contracting entity is then responsible for incurring or paying for the cost of healthcare services required by that patient population. The entity generates a net surplus if the cost of all healthcare services provided to the patient population is less than the payments received from the third party payer, and it generates a net deficit if the cost of such services is higher than the payments received. In early May 2013, the Company and its equal co-member both made a $100,000 capital contribution to WNI-DFW. On June 1, 2013, WNI-DFW commenced operations.

The Company evaluated whether it has a variable interest in WNI-DFW, whether WNI-DFW is a VIE and whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in WNI-DFW. The Company concluded that it has variable interests in WNI-DFW on the basis of its capital contribution to WNI-DFW and because WNI-DFW has entered into a Primary Care Physician Agreement (“PCP Agreement”) with USMD Physician Services. WNI-DFW’s equity at risk, as defined by GAAP, is considered to be insufficient to finance its activities without additional support, and, therefore, WNI-DFW is considered a VIE.

In order to determine whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE and, thus, is the VIE’s primary beneficiary, the Company considered whether it has i) the power to direct the activities of WNI-DFW that most significantly impact its economic performance and ii) the obligation to absorb losses of WNI-DFW that could potentially be significant to it or the right to receive benefits from WNI-DFW that could potentially be significant to it. The Company concluded that the members, the board of directors and the executive management team of WNI-DFW are structured in a way that neither member nor its designee has the individual power to direct the activities of WNI-DFW that most significantly impact its economic performance. Management considered whether the various service and support agreements between WNI-DFW and its members (or their affiliates) provide either variable interest party with this power and concluded that the PCP Agreement between USMD Physician Services and WNI-DFW does provide the power to direct such activities to USMD Physician Services. Under the PCP Agreement, USMD Physician Services is responsible for providing many services related to the growth of the patient population WNI-DFW will manage, the management of that population’s healthcare needs, and the provision of required healthcare services to those patients. The Company has concluded that the success or failure of USMD Physician Services in conducting these activities will most significantly impact the economic performance of WNI-DFW. In addition, the Company’s variable interests in WNI-DFW obligate the Company to absorb deficits and provide it with the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to WNI-DFW. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of WNI-DFW and therefore consolidates the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of WNI-DFW. We perform a qualitative assessment of WNI-DFW on an ongoing basis to determine if we continue to be the primary beneficiary.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of WNI-DFW included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 (after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances) (in thousands):

 

     December 31,

   $ 2,108   
  

 

 

 

The assets of WNI-DFW can only be used to settle obligations of WNI-DFW. The creditors of WNI-DFW have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company is contractually obligated to make additional contributions of capital to WNI-DFW under certain circumstances, particularly in the event of deficits incurred by WNI-DFW. In January 2014, as a result of a deficit at WNI-DFW, the Company made an additional contribution of capital of $0.7 million.

The results of operations and cash flows of WNI-DFW are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning June 1, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, WNI-DFW contributed net operating revenues of $7.4 million and income before provision for income taxes of $0.5 million (after elimination of intercompany transactions).

Estimated Medical Claims Liability

In connection with the operations of WNI-DFW, the Company makes estimates related to incurred but not reported medical claims (“IBNR”) of WNI-DFW.

The patient population to which WNI-DFW provides health services has limited medical claims activity from which claims-based actuarial judgments can be made. In addition, the full population is relatively small for precise actuarial determinations. Therefore, in addition to calculating IBNR using an actuarial estimate based on historical medical claims activity, management includes an adjustment factor based on broader patient populations deemed to be similar in risk profile to the WNI-DFW managed patient population. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s estimate, the Company may be exposed to variances in medical supplies and services expense that may be material.

2013 Activity

Effective September 1, 2013, the Company issued convertible subordinated notes payable (see Note 10) to certain limited partners of USMD Hospital at Arlington, L.P. (“USMD Arlington”) to acquire additional ownership interests in USMD Arlington. As a result of this transaction, the Company’s investment in USMD Arlington increased by $24.3 million and its ownership percentage in USMD Arlington increased to 46.4%.

In February 2013, the Company invested $200,000 in a new cancer treatment center in Anchorage, Alaska. The Company has an existing agreement to provide management services to this center. Because the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the management and operations of the center, the Company accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting.

2012 Activity

In connection with the Contribution, the Company acquired additional ownership interests in USMD Arlington and USMD Hospital at Fort Worth, L.P. (“USMD Fort Worth”).

In 2011, the Company invested $0.3 million in a radiation oncology center in Monterrey, Mexico. Because the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the management and operations of the investee, the Company accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting. Due to losses at the investee, the Company’s carrying value of the investment was reduced to zero in 2012 and, as a result, the Company’s financial results are not negatively affected by the investee’s ongoing operations. The Company has no obligation to fund future capital requirements of the investee.

Other

At December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the investments in USMD Arlington and USMD Fort Worth is greater than the Company’s equity in the underlying net assets of the hospitals by $41.1 million due primarily to recording ownership interests at fair value in connection with the Contribution in 2012, the acquisition of Class P partnership interests in September 2013 and deconsolidation of the hospitals in 2010, net of impairment.

In June 2013, the Company reduced fixed assets acquired in the Contribution by $171,000. This resulted in an increase to goodwill of $111,000, net of tax.

In addition to $86.4 million of goodwill recorded as a direct result of the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Contribution in 2012, the Company recorded $23.5 million of goodwill associated with deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with investments and amortizable intangible assets acquired in the Contribution.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, as a result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company determined all remaining goodwill to be recoverable. In estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting units in connection with the impairment testing, management makes estimates and judgments about future cash flows and market valuations using a combination of income and market approaches, respectively, defined as Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurement hierarchy. In performing its impairment analyses, the Company relied primarily on an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis, which includes assumptions for, among other factors, discount rates, cash flow projections, growth rates and terminal value rates, all of which require significant judgment. The Company updates specific assumptions at the date of each impairment test to incorporate current industry and Company-specific risk factors from the perspective of a market participant.

Holdings

Credit Agreement

On August 31, 2012, in connection with the Contribution, Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and additional lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan Credit Facility (“Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $21.0 million and a Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolver”) in an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million. Proceeds from borrowings under the Term Loans were used to repay existing debt of the acquired businesses and to repay in whole or in part certain of the Company’s related party debt. Proceeds from borrowings under the Revolver are available solely to finance working capital of the Company. An unused commitment fee is payable on the undrawn portion of the Revolver at a rate of 0.25% per annum.

The Term Loans consist of the Tranche A Term Loan with an aggregate principal amount of $12.5 million, the Tranche B Term Loan with an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million, and the Tranche C Term Loan with an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million. Interest on the Term Loans is due monthly. The Tranche A Term Loan accrues interest at the 30-Day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 3.00% (3.19 % at December 31, 2013) and matures on August 31, 2017. Principal payments of $625,000 are due quarterly. The Tranche B Term Loan accrues interest at the 30-Day LIBOR plus a margin of 3.50% (3.69% at December 31, 2013) and matures on August 31, 2014. Principal payments of $437,500 are due quarterly. The Tranche C Term Loan accrues interest at the 30-Day LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% (1.44% at December 31, 2013) and matures on August 31, 2017. The outstanding principal balance and any unpaid interest will be due upon the Tranche C Term Loan maturity date. Borrowings under the Revolver accrue interest at the 30-Day LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00% (3.19% at December 31, 2013) with interest payments due monthly.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a compensating balance of $5.0 million as collateral related to its borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides that the balance be held in an account at the Company’s Administrative Agent bank.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Borrower to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens securing other indebtedness and enter into restrictive agreements. At December 31, 2013, the Company was subject to a financial covenant that requires it to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.50:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters from and including December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013 and of 1.25:1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning March 31, 2014 through August 31, 2017. In addition, the Company was subject to a financial covenant that requires it to maintain a senior leverage ratio less than or equal to 1.50:1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters from and including December 31, 2013 through September 30, 2014 and of 1.25:1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning December 31, 2014 through August 31, 2017.

On February 25, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment No. 3”). Among other things, Amendment No. 3 extended the maturity date of the Revolver from February 28, 2014 to June 30, 2015. In addition, Amendment No. 3 reduced the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and established the senior leverage ratio requirement.

In early 2014, the Company determined that it had not been in compliance with its fixed charge coverage ratio or senior leverage ratio covenants. Effective April 14, 2014, the Company obtained from the Credit Agreement lenders a permanent waiver of the existing covenant violations. In addition, the lenders amended the Credit Agreement resulting in modifications to the fixed charge coverage ratio, the senior leverage ratio covenant requirements, the Revolver commitment amount and the Tranche C Term Loan maturity date (collectively, “Amendment No. 4”).

Amendment No. 4 reduced the fixed charge coverage ratio to greater than or equal to 1.00:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2013 and 0.35:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014. Subsequent to those dates, the Company is subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant as described above and in Amendment No. 3. Amendment No. 4 waived the senior leverage ratio requirement at December 31, 2013, increased the senior leverage ratio to less than or equal to 3.10:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014, decreased the senior leverage ratio to less than or equal to 1.25:1.00 for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2014 and decreased the ratio to less than or equal to 1.00:1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters from and including September 30, 2014 through August 31, 2017. Amendment No. 4 reduced the Revolver commitment amount to $3.0 million from $10.0 million and amended the Tranche C Term Loan maturity date to April 2014.

In connection with the borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $500,000, of which $190,000 was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2013; the remaining balance of $259,000 will be amortized through August 2017 using the effective interest method. In connection with the Amendment, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $61,000, which will be amortized through June 30, 2015 using the effective interest method. In connection with Amendment No. 4, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $50,000, which will be amortized through August 2017 using the effective interest method.

Convertible Subordinated Notes

Effective September 1, 2013, the Company issued convertible subordinated notes in the aggregate principal amount of $24.3 million (the “Convertible Subordinated Notes”) to certain limited partners of USMD Arlington to acquire their limited partnership interests in USMD Arlington. The Convertible Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% per annum and mature on March 1, 2019. Interest payments are due and payable on the last day of each month and the principal is due upon maturity. The Company may prepay the Convertible Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time after September 1, 2014 without penalty.

Each noteholder will have the right at any time after September 1, 2014 to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of their respective Convertible Subordinated Note into shares of common stock of Holdings at the rate of one share of common stock for each $23.37 of principal. The conversion price will be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, mergers or other fundamental corporate transactions. The conversion option has no cash settlement provisions. The Company evaluated the embedded conversion option and concluded that it does not meet the criteria for bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative as it is indexed to the Company’s own stock and, if freestanding, would be classified in stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the variables affecting any adjustment to the conversion price would be inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares, or are otherwise designed to maintain the economic position of both parties before and after the event that precipitates an adjustment of the conversion price (i.e. merger).

At the date of execution of the Convertible Subordinated Notes, the commitment date, the conversion price was less than the fair value of shares of Holdings’ common stock. The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the conversion option’s in-the-money portion as a $3.7 million beneficial conversion discount to the debt with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. The beneficial conversion discount will be accreted to the Convertible Subordinated Notes using the effective interest method over 66 months until they mature on March 1, 2019. Recognition of the beneficial conversion discount results in a temporary book-tax basis difference in the debt instrument. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $1.3 million deferred tax liability with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital.

The aggregate Convertible Subordinated Notes are convertible into 1,041,581 common shares of Holdings at a conversion price of $23.37 per share. The Convertible Subordinated Notes have an effective interest rate of 8.50%. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized interest expense related to the Convertible Subordinated Notes of $0.6 million, comprised of $0.4 million related to the contractual interest rate and $0.2 million related to discount accretion.

In connection with the borrowings under the Convertible Subordinated Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $70,000, of which $4,000 was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2013; the remaining balance will be amortized through March 2019 using the effective interest method.

The indebtedness represented by the Convertible Subordinated Notes is expressly subordinate to all senior indebtedness of Holdings currently outstanding or incurred in the future, which includes without limitation its indebtedness to banks.

Subordinated Related Party Notes Payable

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company acquired the remaining 59.4% of partnership interests in U.S. Lithotripsy L.P. it did not own in exchange for cash of $1.2 million and notes payable totaling $9.7 million. Two of the notes were paid in full on August 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, the subordinated notes payable are due to two individuals who are current members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Borrowings under the notes are secured by substantially all present and future assets of U.S. Lithotripsy L.P. and the partnership interests redeemed as part of the transaction. The indebtedness represented by the Subordinated Related Party Notes Payable is expressly subordinate to all senior indebtedness of Holdings currently outstanding or incurred in the future, which includes without limitation its indebtedness to banks.

Consolidated Lithotripsy Entities

Notes Payable

During the third quarter of 2013, one of the Company’s consolidated lithotripsy partnerships acquired equipment totaling $0.4 million from another consolidated entity and executed a note payable with a third party to finance the full amount of the purchased equipment. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 4.2%, and principal and interest payments are due monthly in 60 equal installments of $6,488 until maturity in July, 2018. The note is secured by the financed equipment. The associated asset disposal and acquisition transactions have been eliminated in consolidation from the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

During the second quarter of 2013, one of the Company’s consolidated lithotripsy partnerships acquired equipment totaling $0.2 million from another consolidated lithotripsy partnership and executed a note payable with a third party to finance the full amount of the purchased equipment. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 4.2% and principal and interest payments are due monthly in 36 equal installments of $5,336 until maturity in May, 2016. The note is secured by the financed equipment. The associated asset disposal and acquisition transactions have been eliminated in consolidation from the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

During the third quarter of 2012, one of the Company’s consolidated lithotripsy partnerships acquired equipment totaling $0.5 million. Financing agreements were not finalized at December 31, 2012; however, the entity executed a note payable agreement in the first quarter of 2013 to finance the full amount of the purchased equipment. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 3.87% and principal and interest payments are due monthly in 48 equal installments of $10,390 until maturity in January, 2017. The note is secured by the financed equipment. At December 31, 2012, $0.1 million and $0.4 million of the balance were recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively.

Effective late December 2011, three consolidated lithotripsy service providers purchased equipment totaling $1.3 million. Financing agreements were not finalized at December 31, 2011; however, the entities executed agreements in the first quarter of 2012 to finance the full amount of the purchased equipment and an additional $0.1 million of purchased equipment. The notes payable bear fixed interest rates ranging from 3.97% to 4.75%. One of the notes requires 36 equal monthly payments and matures in March 2015. One of the notes requires 60 equal monthly payments and matures in March 2017. The remaining note was amended and matures in January 2018. The amendment requires interest payments until the first quarter of 2013 and then requires 59 equal monthly payments. The individual notes are generally secured by the assets of the individual entity and are guaranteed by the respective entity owners.

Capital Lease Obligations

During the fourth quarter of 2013, one of the Company’s consolidated lithotripsy partnerships entered into a capital lease for equipment totaling $0.5 million. Payments are due monthly in 60 equal installments of $9,440 until maturity in December, 2018.

The Company estimates the fair value of the Convertible Subordinated Notes as the sum of the independently estimated fair values of the debt host instrument and embedded conversion option. The Company calculates the present value of future principal and interest payments of the debt host using borrowing rates currently available to it for similar subordinated debt or debt for which the Company could use to retire the existing debt. The fair value of the embedded conversion option is valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and is added to the value of the debt host. Quoted market prices are not available for the Convertible Subordinated Notes. Estimation of the fair value of the Convertible Subordinated Notes is a Level 3 fair value measurement.

The Company estimates the fair value of its subordinated related party notes payable using discounted cash flows based primarily on borrowing rates currently available to it for similar debt or debt for which the Company could use the proceeds to retire existing debt (Level 3 fair value measurement). The Company’s consolidated lithotripsy entities enter into term notes for equipment; borrowing rates are based on individual entity creditworthiness. The Company estimates current borrowing rates for the lithotripsy entity notes payable by adjusting the discount factor of the obligations at the balance sheet date by the variance in borrowing rates between the inception dates and balance sheet date (Level 2 fair value measurement). Management noted no significant events that would otherwise affect the borrowers’ creditworthiness. At December 31, 2012, the carrying value of other long-term liabilities approximated fair value due to recent inception. Quoted market prices are not available for the Company’s notes payable.

Note 12 – Deferred Compensation Plans

Deferred Compensation – Nonqualified Savings Plan

Upon consummation of the Contribution, the Company adopted a nonqualified deferred compensation savings plan (the “Savings Plan”) previously managed and held by MCNT. The Savings Plan is unfunded and was maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation benefits to participating employees. The Savings Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). Once the Contribution occurred, the plan participant accounts were effectively frozen; no additional contributions can be made. When a participant terminates employment for any reason, he or she is entitled to begin receiving their accrued benefit. Distributions are made in five equal annual installments beginning in the January following the participant’s termination. The Savings Plan accounts are not held in a trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and, therefore, remain subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. Savings Plan account balances may be used to guarantee the Company’s Revolver or as otherwise deemed necessary by the Company’s management. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s deferred compensation obligation under the Savings Plan totaled $4.8 million with $0.2 million classified as a current liability and $4.6 million classified as a long-term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Deferred Compensation – Nonqualified Income Plan

Upon consummation of the Contribution, the Company acquired a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Income Plan”) previously managed and held by MCNT and Impel. In order to partially fund the Income Plan, MCNT historically purchased corporate-owned life insurance policies on the Income Plan participants; these life insurance policies were also acquired in the Contribution. Upon consummation of the Contribution, a change of control occurred as defined by the Income Plan document, requiring the Income Plan’s account balances be distributed to its participants within 90 days of the change in control, or sooner if required by Internal Revenue Service Regulations. During September 2012, the Company surrendered the life insurance policies to the issuer for their cash surrender value in the aggregate amount of $3.2 million. Effective September 20, 2012, the Company distributed all amounts due to participants in the aggregate amount of $3.7 million. Effective October 1, 2012, the Income Plan was dissolved and terminated.

The Company has performed an evaluation and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any year presented, nor have any changes occurred in uncertain tax positions in any year presented. The evaluation was performed for the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2013, which includes the tax years 2010 through 2013.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had available unused net operating loss carryforwards of $827,000 that may be available to reduce future income tax liabilities. These loss carryforwards expire in 2031.

Note 14 – Share-Based Payment

Pursuant to its 2010 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), the Company may grant equity awards to employees, nonemployee directors and nonemployee service providers in the form of stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. The terms of the Plan provide for the reservation of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan, including a maximum of 900,000 shares issued pursuant to stock options and 100,000 shares issued pursuant to restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Stock options may be granted with a contractual life of up to ten years. At December 31, 2013, the Company had 332,843 shares available for grant under the Plan.

The fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the Company to make certain predictive assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities that correspond to the expected life of the award. As a recently formed public entity with a small public float and limited trading of its common shares on the NASDAQ stock market, it was not practicable for the Company to estimate the volatility of its common shares; therefore, management estimated volatility based on the historical volatilities of a small group of companies considered as close to comparable to the Company as available and an industry index, all equally weighted, over the expected life of the option. Management concluded that this group is more characteristic of the Company’s business than a broad industry index. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that the awards are expected to be outstanding based on the “simplified” method, which is allowed for companies that cannot reasonably estimate the expected life of options based on its historical award exercise experience. The Company does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock. Due to the nature of the grants, the company estimated zero option forfeitures. Share-based payment expense is recorded only for those awards that are expected to vest. Weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options granted were as follows:

 

     Years Ended December 31,  
     2013     2012  

Risk-free interest rate

     1.78     0.64

Expected volatility of common stock

Expected life of options

     6.2 years        5.0 years   

Dividend yield

     0.00     0.00

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because option valuation models require the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options. The Company’s options do not have the characteristics of exchange traded options and, therefore, the option valuation models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of stock options. A summary of stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:

     149,137      $ 24.30         5.22       $ 34,772   

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $10.94 and $7.18 per option, respectively. The fair value of stock options vested and share-based payment expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $933,000 and $515,000, respectively, and is included in salaries, wages and employee benefits. At December 31, 2013, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based payment awards was $3,025,000, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 3.6 years.

Activity Related to the Contribution

As additional consideration in the Contribution, on August 31, 2012, Holdings issued to Ventures nonemployee options to purchase 68,982 shares of Holdings’ common stock (“Ventures Options”). The Ventures Options vested immediately and expire five years from the grant date. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the Ventures Options was $6.96 calculated using the Black-Scholes model with a risk-free interest rate of 0.26%, expected volatility of 46.6% and a simplified expected life of 2.5 years. The $480,000 estimated fair value of the Ventures Options was recorded to goodwill and additional paid-in capital.

In connection with the Contribution, historical stock options of USMD (the accounting acquirer) were replaced with options to purchase shares of Holdings’ common stock. The Company recognized $149,000 of incremental value related to these stock options, which was recognized ratably over a term of three months following the Contribution, the implicit service period of the options.

On August 31, 2012, 33,500 shares of Holdings’ restricted common stock held by nonemployees became unrestricted shares. On that date, the Company recorded $357,000 of share-based payment expense, the fair value of the total unrecognized cost of the shares, which is included in other operating expenses.

Payments in Common Stock

Pursuant to the Plan, on March 11, 2013, the Company granted 47,011 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $646,000 to certain executives and members of senior management in payment of all or a portion of their bonuses accrued at December 31, 2012.

In August 2013, the Company granted 706 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $12,000 to a consultant in payment of amounts due.

Effective September 30, 2013, one of the Company’s executives entered into a severance agreement with the Company. In connection with the severance agreement, the former executive was granted 14,583 shares of Holdings’ common stock with a fair value of $387,000, which is included in salaries, wages and employee benefits on the Company’s statement of operations.

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company issued 9,086 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $183,000 to two members of senior management in payment of certain accrued compensation.

The common shares described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may not be transferred without an effective registration statement or pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act.

Note 15 – Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Securities that are potentially dilutive to common shares include outstanding stock options and the Convertible Subordinated Notes. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be antidilutive.

Dilutive potential common shares related to stock options are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of stock options are used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options include the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible. The number of shares remaining represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Stock options are only dilutive to the extent that the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

Dilutive common shares related to the Convertible Subordinated Notes are calculated in accordance with the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, if dilutive, net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders is adjusted to add back the amount of after-tax interest charges recognized in the period, including any deemed interest from the beneficial conversion feature, and the Convertible Subordinated Notes are assumed to have been converted with the resulting common shares added to weighted average shares outstanding. These securities are only dilutive to the extent that the after-tax interest charges per common share exceed basic earnings per share.

In accordance with reverse acquisition accounting, the Company’s 2012 weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the Company after the Contribution. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share and the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Guarantees

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had issued guarantees to third parties of the indebtedness and other obligations of certain of its nonconsolidated investees. Should the investees fail to pay the obligations due, the Company could be required to make payments totaling an aggregate of $20.8 million. The guarantees provide for recourse against the investee; however, if the Company were required to perform under the guarantees, recovery of any amount from investees would be unlikely. The remaining terms of these guarantees range from 13 to 75 months. The Company records a liability for performance under financial guarantees when, upon review of available financial information of the nonconsolidated affiliate and in consideration of pertinent factors, management determines that it is probable it will have to perform under the guarantee and the liability is reasonably estimable. The Company has not recorded a liability for these guarantees, as it believes it is not probable that it will have to perform under these agreements.

Litigation

The Company is from time to time subject to litigation and related claims and arbitration matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to contracts and financial obligations, partnership or joint venture entity disputes and, with respect to USMD Physician Services, claims arising from the provision of professional medical services to patients. In some cases, plaintiffs may seek damages, including punitive damages, that may not be covered by insurance. In other cases, claims may not be covered by insurance at all. The Company maintains professional and general liability insurance through commercial insurance carriers for claims and in amounts that the Company believes to be sufficient for its operations, although, potentially, some claims may exceed the scope and amount of coverage in effect. The Company expenses as incurred legal costs associated with litigation or other loss contingencies.

The Company accrues for a contingent loss when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Judgment is required in both the determination of the probability of a loss and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. These determinations are updated at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the effects of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and technical experts and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that probable losses could exceed amounts already accrued, if any, and the additional loss or range of loss is estimable, management discloses the additional loss or range of loss. For matters where the Company has evaluated that a loss is not probable, but is reasonably possible, the Company will disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss or make a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company in the ordinary course of business are party to various medical negligence lawsuits and wrongful termination lawsuits. In addition, subsidiaries of the Company have received notices of potential claims. For medical negligence lawsuits where the Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss, the Company estimates a reasonably possible range of loss of $-0- to $0.5 million. In the remaining lawsuits and the potential claims, the parties are in the early stages of discovery and/or the plaintiffs have not made specific demands for damages. Due to these circumstances, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss related to these lawsuits and claims. The Company is insured against the claims described above and believes based on the facts known to date that any damage award related to such claims would be recoverable from its insurer.

The Company is subject to various additional claims and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business activities. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Gain Contingency

On October 26, 2012, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a settlement agreement with an entity to which the subsidiary had provided management services under a long term contract. The entity agreed to pay the Company the sum of $650,000 to settle certain claims between the Company and the entity arising from the entity’s early termination of the contract. The settlement agreement required the entity to pay the Company $100,000 in November 2012 and to make fifty-five monthly payments of $10,000 on the first day of each month beginning December 2012. The Company concluded that collection of the settlement amount is not reasonably assured and has recorded the gain as amounts are collected. The Company has received total payments of $130,000 and $110,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the payments are recorded in management and other services revenue on the Company’s statements of operations.

Operating Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain medical and corporate office space and medical and office equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2028. The facility leases generally include renewal options with terms to be negotiated at the time of renewal and also generally require the lessee to pay all executory costs such as maintenance and insurance. Facility leases may or may not contain provisions for future rent increases, rent free periods or periods in which rent payments are reduced (abated). Total rental payments due over the lease term are charged to rent expense using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In addition, facility leases may or may not include a provision for a tenant allowance to be used for build out of the leased space; the build out is managed and controlled by the lessor. Tenant allowances are credited to deferred rent and amortized as reductions to rent expense over the lease term, and the related leasehold improvements are recorded and amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term.

Beginning January 1, 2014, the Company replaced the matching contribution with a safe harbor non-elective contribution. The non-elective contribution is 3% of annual compensation and is provided to all eligible employees. The non-elective contributions have a two-year vesting period.

Note 19 – Subsequent Events

Stock Options

Pursuant to its 2010 Equity Compensation Plan, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company granted to new executives of the Company options to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate fair value of $1.0 million. The awards vest at the rate of 20% at the grant date and 20% per year on the first day of each year through January 1, 2018.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report because of the material weaknesses described below in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed below, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On June 1, 2013, we began consolidating the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of WNI-DFW. See Note 4 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to WNI-DFW. We are in the process of integrating the operations of WNI-DFW, including their internal controls and processes, into our operations. We are also in the process of extending to WNI-DFW and their processes our Section 404 compliance program under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable rules and regulations under such Act.

Except as noted above, and as related to the material weaknesses described below, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined by applicable SEC rules) during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. The design of an internal control system is based in part upon assumptions and judgments made by management about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that an internal control will be effective under all potential conditions. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

As described above, on June 1, 2013, we began consolidating the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of WNI-DFW. After elimination of intercompany transactions and balances, WNI-DFW represents 0.8% of our total assets at December 31, 2013 and 3.2% and 37.9% of net operating revenue and net income attributable to USMD Holdings, Inc., respectively, for the year then ended. SEC guidance permits the exclusion of an assessment of the effectiveness of a registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition if, among other circumstances and factors, there is not adequate time between the acquisition date and the date of assessment in which to conduct that assessment. As such, management has excluded the internal controls and processes of WNI-DFW in its assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.

In making its assessment, management used the criteria for internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Management’s assessment includes an evaluation of the design of internal control over financial reporting and testing the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified the following material weaknesses in the areas of Human Resources Benefits Management (“HRBM”) and Financial Covenant Compliance and Disclosure.

Human Resources Benefits Management

 

    Human Resources Benefits Management lacked effective reconciliation and review controls designed to ensure that amounts due to employee benefit providers were correctly paid in amounts that agreed with our internal employee records. A reconciliation control designed to support the completeness and accuracy of payments to benefit providers was not performed at a level of precision that would facilitate the identification of significant discrepancies between our internal employee records and the records of the benefit provider. Consequently, the subsequent and ultimate approval of benefits invoices was not performed with sufficient consideration to ensure that the supporting documentation was valid and that the individual employee benefit transactions were accurate and complete. Additionally, account review controls did not operate in a manner to timely identify and correct misstated account balances. Anomalous benefits receivable account balances were identified in the financial statement close and reporting process, but were not acted on timely by HRBM.

 

    As a result, overpayments were made to a benefits provider for terminated employees and for employees with incorrectly recorded benefit elections. These payments resulted in a receivables account balance and associated expense that had not been verified for accuracy.

Remedial Actions

In response to the material weakness identified above, management has instituted a number of actions and commenced implementation of changes in internal control during the first quarter of 2014. Those actions are described below.

 

    Management has reconciled the population of payments made to benefits providers and determined that approximately 25% were valid expenses. Approximately 65% of the total payments have been fully recovered, and management is pursuing recovery of the remaining 10% of payments.

 

    The benefits reconciliation control will be designed to sufficiently identify discrepancies between internal records and those of the benefit provider. Identified discrepancies will be investigated and resolved appropriately and in a timely manner.

 

    Accounting will define and implement additional metrics and processes to assist with the detection and timely resolution of benefits discrepancies and anomalous benefits account balances.

 

    HRBM has established routine meetings with the accounting team to ensure ongoing and timely interdepartmental communication.

Financial Covenant Compliance and Disclosure

Compliance certifications for material debt covenants are prepared and submitted quarterly to our lender(s). Management relies on these compliance certificates to assist in determining the appropriate classification and disclosure of our long term debt and related financial covenants. Controls surrounding the completeness and accuracy of the compliance certification preparation and review process were not sufficient to timely detect and disclose a debt covenant violation.

Remedial Actions

In response to the material weakness identified above, management has instituted a number of actions and commenced implementation of changes in internal control. Those actions are described below.

 

    In April of 2014, USMD was granted a retroactive waiver of its debt covenant violation for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013.

 

    Management will improve controls surrounding the financial covenant and disclosure process by requiring additional independent reviews of the supporting schedules and the compliance certifications by persons independent of the preparation process.

 

Item 9B. Other Information.

On April 14, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 with JPMorgan Chase Bank and other lenders to amend the Credit Agreement. As previously disclosed, the Credit Agreement provides the Company with a $10.0 million revolving credit facility and a $21.0 million term loan credit facility. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum senior leverage ratio. For the period ending September 30, 2013 the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio did not meet the minimum required fixed charge coverage ratio, and for the period ending December 31, 2013, the Company’s senior leverage ratio exceeded the maximum permitted senior leverage ratio under the Agreement. The Amendment waives the Company’s failure to comply with these financial covenants and waives other events of default that are related to the failure to have met these financial covenants. The Amendment also reduces the revolving credit facility commitment amount from $10 million to $3 million and amends the Tranche C Term Loan maturity date from August 31, 2017 to April 21, 2014. In addition, the Company has agreed to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 0.35:1.00 for the rolling four quarter period ended March 31, 2014, and 1.25:1.00 thereafter. The Company has also agreed to maintain a maximum senior leverage ratio of no more than 3.10:1.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, 1.25:1.00 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and 1.00:1.00 thereafter. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.10 and incorporated by reference herein.
