SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value measurement accounting standard, ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), provides a framework for measuring fair value and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The standard establishes a valuation hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on independent market data sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available.

The valuation hierarchy is composed of three categories. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The categories within the valuation hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 -     Inputs to the fair value measurement are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs to the fair value measurement include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 -     Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.

Receivables

Receivables include amounts due from government sources, such as Medicare and Medicaid programs, Managed Care Organizations and other commercial insurance; amounts due from patient co-payments; amounts due from pharmaceutical manufacturers for rebates; and service fees resulting from the distribution of certain drugs through retail pharmacies.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on estimates of losses related to receivable balances. The risk of collection varies based upon the product, the payor (commercial health insurance and government) and the patient’s ability to pay the amounts not reimbursed by the payor.  We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts based on several factors including the age of the outstanding receivables, the historical experience of collections, adjusting for current economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for the ability to pay. Collection agencies are employed and legal action is taken when we determine that taking collection actions is reasonable relative to the probability of receiving payment on amounts owed.  Management judgment is used to assess the collectability of accounts and the ability of our customers to pay.  Judgment is also used to assess trends in collections and the effects of systems and business process changes on our expected collection rates. The Company reviews the estimation process quarterly and makes changes to the estimates as necessary. When it is determined that a customer account is uncollectible, that balance is written off against the existing allowance.


Change in Estimate of the Collectability of Accounts Receivable

The Company experienced deterioration in the aging of certain accounts receivable in 2014 primarily due to delays and disruptions related to the integration of its acquisitions in 2013. As a result, the Company materially changed its estimates based on actual collection experience during and after the acquisition disruption period from 2014. The 2015 estimation process is unchanged from the process established in 2014.

We believe we are adequately reserved on these balances over 180 days; however, there is a higher risk of collection on these balances than the overall accounts receivable. The Company has slightly increased the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total accounts receivable to 35.5% at December 31, 2015 compared to 33.5% at December 31, 2014. However, since the gross accounts receivable balance decreased, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance decreased by $6.7 million from December 31, 2014.

The following table sets forth the aging of our net accounts receivable (net of allowance for contractual adjustments and prior to allowance for doubtful accounts), aged based on date of service and categorized based on the three primary overall types of accounts receivable characteristics (in thousands):

Allowance for Contractual Discounts

The Company is reimbursed by payors for products and services the Company provides. Payments for medications and services covered by payors average less than billed charges.  The Company monitors revenue and receivables from payors for each of our branches and records an estimated contractual allowance for certain revenue and receivable balances as of the revenue recognition date to properly account for anticipated differences between amounts estimated in our billing system and amounts reimbursed.  Accordingly, the total revenue and receivables reported in our financial statements are recorded at the amounts expected to be received from these payors.   For the significant portion of the Company’s revenue, the contractual allowance is estimated based on several criteria, including unbilled claims, historical trends based on actual claims paid, current contract and reimbursement terms and changes in customer base and payor/product mix. Contractual allowance estimates are adjusted to actual amounts as cash is received and claims are settled. We do not believe these changes in estimates are material. The billing functions for the remaining portion of the Company’s revenue are largely computerized, which enables on-line adjudication (i.e., submitting charges to third-party payors electronically with simultaneous feedback of the amount the primary insurance plan expects to pay) at the time of sale to record net revenue, exposure to estimating contractual allowance adjustments is limited on this portion of the business.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using specific item or the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists principally of purchased prescription drugs and related supplies. Included in inventory is a reserve for inventory waste and obsolescence.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets as follows:

Leasehold improvements and assets leased under capital leases are depreciated using a straight-line basis over the related lease term or estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is less.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts with the gain or loss, if applicable, recorded in the statement of operations.  Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Costs relating to the development of software for internal purposes are charged to expense until technological feasibility is established in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Thereafter, the remaining software production costs up to the date placed into production are capitalized and included in Property and Equipment.  Costs of customization and implementation of computer software purchased for internal use are likewise capitalized. Depreciation of the capitalized amounts commences on the date the asset is ready for its intended use and is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances exist that indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may no longer be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350.  Management considers the Company’s business as a whole to be its reporting unit for purpose of testing for impairment since the Company no longer has multiple operating segments with the sale of the PBM Business. Management may choose to undertake a qualitative assessment in order to assess whether a quantitative analysis is required. In determining whether management will utilize the qualitative assessment in any one year, management will consider overall economic factors as well as the passage of time between the last quantitative assessment. In the event management determines that a quantitative assessment is required, this quantitative impairment testing is based on a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount including goodwill.  If the first step quantitative analysis indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the second step quantitative analysis must be performed to determine the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill. The measurement of possible impairment is based on the comparison of the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying value.

Intangible Assets

The Company evaluates the useful lives of its intangible assets to determine if they are finite or indefinite-lived. Finite-lived intangible assets, primarily acquired customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of long lived assets, including intangible assets, may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of an asset may not be recoverable. The measurement of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the balance of assets from expected future operating cash flows on an undiscounted basis. Impairment losses, if any, are determined based on the fair value of the asset, calculated as the present value of related cash flows using discount rates that reflect the inherent risk of the underlying business.

Amounts due to Plan Sponsors

Amounts due to Plan Sponsors primarily represent payments received from Plan Sponsors in excess of the contractually required reimbursement.  These amounts are refunded to Plan Sponsors. These payables also include the sharing of manufacturers’ rebates with Plan Sponsors.

Contingent Consideration

Liabilities that may be owed to sellers after the closing of an acquisition transaction are recorded at fair value as of the opening balance sheet established for the acquired target. These contingent consideration provisions are frequently referred to as earnouts and are the subject of negotiation between the seller and the buyer. An earnout provision can compensate the seller with the value they believe the asset will deliver while also providing downside risk protection to the buyer should projections not materialize. As such, the terms of potential earnouts vary with each transaction. Fair value is assigned using multiple payout scenarios which each have a probability assigned based on factors including actual performance, evidence of business plans that have been implemented, and current market conditions that influence the ability to achieve the earnout. The probable payout amount is discounted to the current balance sheet date using a risk free rate. Each quarter, the fair value of the contingent consideration is updated to reflect relevant factors such as post-closing operating results and future forecasts for the acquired business or entity. The fair value of contingent consideration may be included in current liabilities or other non-current liabilities depending on the payment date specified in the purchase agreement.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue principally through the provision of infusion services to provide clinical management services and the delivery of cost effective prescription medications. Prescription drugs are dispensed either through a pharmacy participating in the Company’s pharmacy network or a pharmacy owned by the Company.  Fee-for-service agreements includes pharmacy agreements, where we dispense prescription medications through the Company’s pharmacy facilities.

FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”), addresses situations in which there are multiple deliverables under one revenue arrangement with a customer and provides guidance in determining whether multiple deliverables should be recognized separately or in combination.  The Company provides a variety of therapies to patients.  For infusion-related therapies, the Company frequently provides multiple deliverables of drugs and related nursing services.  After applying the criteria from ASC 605-25, the Company concluded that separate units of accounting exist in revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables.  Drug revenue is recognized at the time the drug is shipped, and nursing revenue is recognized on the date of service. The Company allocates revenue consideration based on the relative fair value as determined by the Company’s best estimate of selling price to separate the revenue where there are multiple deliverables under one revenue arrangement.

The Company also recognizes nursing revenue as the estimated net realizable amounts from patients and third party payors for the infusion services rendered and products provided.  This revenue is recognized as the treatment plan is administered to the patient and is recorded at amounts estimated to be received under reimbursement or payment arrangements with payors.

Under the Medicare Prospective Payment System program, net revenue is recorded based on a reimbursement rate which varies based on the severity of the patient’s condition, service needs and certain other factors.  Revenue is recognized ratably over a 60-day episode period and is subject to adjustment during this period if there are significant changes in the patient’s condition during the treatment period or if the patient is discharged but readmitted to another agency within the same 60-day episodic period.  Medicare cash receipts under the prospective payment system are initially recognized as deferred revenue and are subsequently recognized as revenue over the 60-day episode period.  The process for recognizing revenue under the Medicare program is based on certain assumptions and judgments, the appropriateness of the clinical assessment of each patient at the time of certification, and the level of adjustments to the fixed reimbursement rate relating to patients who receive a limited number of visits, have significant changes in condition or are subject to certain other factors during the episode.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes the costs of prescription medications, shipping and other direct and indirect costs, claims processing operations, and nursing services, offset by volume and prompt pay discounts received from pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors and total manufacturer rebates.

Rebates

Manufacturers’ rebates are generally volume-based incentives that are earned and recorded upon purchase of the inventory. Rebates are recorded as a reduction of both inventory and cost of goods sold.

Lease Accounting

The Company accounts for operating leasing transactions by recording rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease starting on the date it gains possession of leased property. The Company includes tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays received from landlords and the effect of any rent escalation clauses, as adjustments to straight-line rent expense over the expected term of the lease.

Capital lease transactions are reflected as a liability at the inception of the lease based on the present value of the minimum lease payments or, if lower, the fair value of the property. Assets recorded under capital leases are depreciated in the same manner as owned property.

Income Taxes

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 as part of its Simplification Initiative. The amendments eliminate the guidance in Topic 740, Income Taxes, that required an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets between current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance on a prospective basis during the annual reporting period ended on December 31, 2015. There is no financial statement impact as a result of the Company’s early adoption of this guidance.

As part of the process of preparing the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are determined by calculating the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the benefit from its deferred tax assets.

The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, as prescribed by Federal tax laws and the tax laws of the state and local jurisdictions in which it operates.  The Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination and are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements when the recognition threshold and measurement attributes of ASC 740 are met.  Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as income tax expense.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued interest and its line of credit. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued interest and its line of credit approximate fair value due to their fully liquid or short-term nature.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).  At December 31, 2015, the Company has two stock-based compensation plans pursuant to which incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, performance shares and performance units may be granted to employees and non-employee directors. Option and stock awards are typically settled by issuing authorized but unissued shares of the Company.

The Company accounts for its stock-based awards to employees and non-employees directors using the fair value method. The fair value of each option award is based on several criteria including, but not limited to, the valuation model used and associated input factors including principally stock price volatility and, to a lesser extent, expected term, dividend rate, and risk-free interest rate. The input factors used in the valuation model are based on subjective future expectations combined with management judgment. The fair value of each stock award is determined based on the closing price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of the award is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company expenses restricted stock awards based on vesting requirements, including time elapsed, market conditions and/or performance conditions.  Because of these requirements, the weighted average period for which the expense is recognized varies. The Company expenses SAR awards based on vesting requirements. In addition, because they are settled with cash, the fair value of the SAR awards are revalued on a quarterly basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 as part of its Simplification Initiative. The amendments eliminate the guidance in Topic 740, Income Taxes, that required an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets between current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet. Rather, deferred taxes will be presented as noncurrent under the new standard. The amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance during the annual reporting period ended on December 31, 2015. There was no financial statement impact as a result of the Company’s early adoption of this guidance.

In August 2015, the FASB issued an update 2015-14—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new standard on the results of the Company.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an update 2015-11—Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently still assessing the impact of this new standard on the results of the Company.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-03 “Interest - Imputation of Interest (subtopic 835-20): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and will be applied on a retrospective basis. As of December 31, 2015 we have $3.3 million and $12.6 million of deferred financing costs that would be reclassified from a current and a long-term asset, respectively, to a reduction in the carrying amount of our debt.

In April 2015, the FASB issued update 2015-05—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement which is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new standard on the results of the Company.

In February 2015, the FASB issued update 2015-02—Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis which is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in this Update using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company has assessed the impact of this guidance and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity” (“ASU 2014-16”). ASU 2014-16 requires an entity to determine the nature of the host contract by considering the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share, including the embedded derivative feature that is being evaluated for separate accounting from the host contract when evaluating whether the host contract is more akin to debt or equity. ASU 2014-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued update No. 2014-15—Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern for all entities, the new requirements are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new standard on the results of the Company.

In June 2014, the FASB issued update No. 2014-12—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) which is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity may apply the standards (1) prospectively to all share-based payment awards that are granted or modified on or after the effective date, or (2) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new standard on the results of the Company.
