Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We provide diagnostic imaging services including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures. At March 31, 2015 we operated directly or indirectly through joint ventures, 259 imaging centers located in California, Maryland, Florida, Delaware, New Jersey, Rhode Island and New York.  Our operations comprise a single segment for financial reporting purposes.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radnet Management, Inc. (or “Radnet Management”) and Beverly Radiology Medical Group III, a professional partnership (“BRMG”).  The condensed consolidated financial statements also include Radnet Management I, Inc., Radnet Management II, Inc.,  Radiologix, Inc., Radnet Managed Imaging Services, Inc., Delaware Imaging Partners, Inc., New Jersey Imaging Partners, Inc. and Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc. (“DIS”), all wholly owned subsidiaries of Radnet Management.  All of these affiliated entities are referred to collectively as “RadNet”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” in this report.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 810-10-15-14 stipulates that generally any entity with a) insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, or b) equity holders that, as a group, lack the characteristics specified in the ASC which evidence a controlling financial interest, is considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). We consolidate all VIEs in which we own a majority voting interest and all VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE through a qualitative analysis that identifies which variable interest holder has the controlling financial interest in the VIE. The variable interest holder who has both of the following has the controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In performing our analysis, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the design and activities of the VIE, the terms of the contracts the VIE has entered into, the nature of the VIE’s variable interests issued and how they were negotiated with or marketed to potential investors, and which parties participated significantly in the design or redesign of the entity.

Howard G. Berger, M.D. is our President and Chief Executive Officer, a member of our Board of Directors and is deemed to be the beneficial owner, directly and indirectly, of approximately 12.3% of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2015. Dr. Berger also owns, indirectly, 99% of the equity interests in BRMG. BRMG provides all of the professional medical services at the majority of our facilities located in California under a management agreement with us, and employs physicians or contracts with various other independent physicians and physician groups to provide the professional medical services at most of our other California facilities. We generally obtain professional medical services from BRMG in California, rather than provide such services directly or through subsidiaries, in order to comply with California’s prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine. However, as a result of our close relationship with Dr. Berger and BRMG, we believe that we are able to better ensure that medical service is provided at our California facilities in a manner consistent with our needs and expectations and those of our referring physicians, patients and payors than if we obtained these services from unaffiliated physician groups. BRMG is a partnership of ProNet Imaging Medical Group, Inc., Breastlink Medical Group, Inc. and Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Inc., each of which is 99% or 100% owned by Dr. Berger.  

John V Crues, III, M.D. is our Medical Director, a member of our Board of Directors and a 1% owner of BRMG.  Dr. Crues owns a controlling interest in four medical groups (“Crues Entities”) which provide professional medical services at some of our facilities in Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York while Dr. Berger owns a controlling interest in two medical groups (“NY Berger Entities”) which provide professional medical services at one of our Manhattan, New York facilities.  The Crues Entities and the NY Berger Entities are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “B&C Entities.”

RadNet provides non-medical, technical and administrative services to BRMG and the B&C Entities for which it receives a management fee, pursuant to the related management agreements. Through these management agreements and our relationship with both Dr. Berger and Dr. Crues, we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decision-making related to the ongoing business operations of BRMG and the B&C Entities and we determine the annual budget of BRMG and the B&C Entities. BRMG and the B&C Entities both have insignificant operating assets and liabilities, and de minimis equity. Through these management agreements, we are paid the fair market value of our services, the result of which is that generally all net cash flows of both BRMG and the B&C Entities are transferred to us.

We have determined that BRMG and the B&C Entities are VIEs, and that we are the primary beneficiary, and consequently, we consolidate the revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities of each such entity.  BRMG and the B&C Entities on a combined basis recognized $25.5 million and $20.6 million of revenue, net of management service fees to RadNet for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $25.5 million and $20.6 million of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. RadNet, Inc. recognized in its condensed consolidated statement of operations $99.0 million and $89.0 million of total billed net service fee revenue relating to these VIE’s for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of which $73.5 million and $68.5 million was for management services provided to BRMG and the B&C Entities relating primarily to the technical portion of total billed net service fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The cash flows of BRMG and the B&C Entities are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  In our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have included approximately $84.3 million and $79.7 million, respectively, of accounts receivable and approximately $8.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related to BRMG and the B&C Entities combined.

The creditors of both BRMG and the B&C Entities do not have recourse to our general credit and there are no other arrangements that could expose us to losses on behalf of BRMG and the B&C Entities. However, because of the relationship RadNet may be required to provide financial support to cover any operating expenses in excess of operating revenues.

Aside from certain centers in California and all of our centers in New York City where we contract with BRMG and the B&C Entities, respectively, for the provision of professional medical services, at all of our other centers, we have entered into long-term contracts with independent radiology groups in the area to provide physician services at those facilities. These third party radiology practices provide professional services, including supervision and interpretation of diagnostic imaging procedures, in our diagnostic imaging centers. The radiology practices maintain full control over the provision of professional services. In these facilities we enter into long-term agreements with radiology practice groups (typically 40 years). Under these arrangements, in addition to obtaining technical fees for the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services, we provide management services and receive a fee intended to compensate us for the fair market value of our services which in some instances may be based on the practice group’s professional revenue, including revenue derived outside of our diagnostic imaging centers. We own the diagnostic imaging equipment and, therefore, receive 100% of the technical reimbursements associated with imaging procedures. The radiology practice groups retain the professional reimbursements associated with imaging procedures after deducting management service fees paid to us.  We have no financial controlling interest in the independent (non-BRMG or non-B&C Entities) radiology practices; accordingly, we do not consolidate the financial statements of those practices in our consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed on March 16, 2015, as amended.

Significant Accounting Policies

During the period covered in this report, there have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies we use, and have explained, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as amended. The information below is intended only to supplement the disclosure in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as amended.

Revenues

Service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, consists of net patient fees received from various payors and patients themselves based mainly upon established contractual billing rates, less allowances for contractual adjustments. As it relates to centers affiliated with both BRMG and the B&C Entities, this service fee revenue includes payments for both the professional medical interpretation revenue recognized by BRMG and the B&C Entities as well as the payment for all other aspects related to our providing the imaging services, for which we earn management fees from BRMG and the B&C Entities. As it relates to non-BRMG and B&C Entity centers, this service fee revenue is earned through providing the administration of the non-medical functions relating to the professional medical practice at our non-BRMG and B&C Entity centers, including among other functions, provision of clerical and administrative personnel, bookkeeping and accounting services, billing and collection, provision of medical and office supplies, secretarial, reception and transcription services, maintenance of medical records, and advertising, marketing and promotional activities.

Service fee revenues are recorded during the period the patient services are provided based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payors. Third-party payors include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care health plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Contractual payment terms in managed care agreements are generally based upon predetermined rates per discounted fee-for-service rates. We also record a provision for doubtful accounts (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to patients and copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage under one of our third-party payors.

Under capitation arrangements with various health plans, we earn a per-enrollee amount each month for making available diagnostic imaging services to all plan enrollees under the capitation arrangement. Revenue under capitation arrangements is recognized in the period in which we are obligated to provide services to plan enrollees under contracts with various health plans.

Our revenue, net of contractual allowances, discounts and provision for bad debts for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is summarized in the following table (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended

Revenue under capitation arrangements		23,712			17,006
Total net revenue	$	181,267		$	168,876

Provision for Bad Debts

We provide for an allowance against accounts receivable that could become uncollectible to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. We estimate this allowance based on the aging of our accounts receivable by each type of payer over an 18-month look-back period, and other relevant factors. A significant portion of our provision for bad debt relates to co-payments and deductibles owed to us from patients with insurance. Although we attempt to collect deductibles and co-payments due from patients with insurance at the time of service, this attempt to collect at the time of service is not an assessment of the patient’s ability to pay nor are revenues recognized based on an assessment of the patient’s ability to pay. There are various factors that can impact collection trends, such as changes in the economy, which in turn have an impact on the increased burden of co-payments and deductibles to be made by patients with insurance. These factors continuously change and can have an impact on collection trends and our estimation process.

Deferred Tax Assets

Income tax expense is computed using an asset and liability method and using expected annual effective tax rates. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences in the financial reporting bases and the income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefit that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. When it appears more likely than not that deferred taxes will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to its estimated realizable value. For net deferred tax assets we consider estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, in determining whether our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs of financing are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the associated loan, which approximates the effective interest rate method.

Meaningful Use Incentive

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a program was enacted that provides financial incentives for providers that successfully implement and utilize electronic health record technology to improve patient care. Our software development team in Canada established an objective to build a Radiology Information System (RIS) software platform that has been awarded Meaningful Use certification. As this certified RIS system is implemented throughout our imaging centers, the radiologists that utilize this software will be eligible for the available financial incentives. In order to receive such incentive payments providers must attest that they have demonstrated meaningful use of the certified RIS in each stage of the program. Once an attestation is accepted by Medicare, payments will be made in four to eight weeks to the same taxpayer identification number and through the same channels as their claims payments are made. We account for this meaningful use incentive under the Gain Contingency Model outlined in ASC 450-30. Under this model, we record within non-operating income, meaningful use incentive only after Medicare accepts an attestation from the qualified eligible professional demonstrating meaningful use. We recorded approximately $3.3 million and $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively, relating to this incentive. These amounts were earned under a Medicare program to promote the use of electronic health record technology.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents of $154,000 and accounts receivable of $153.3 million at March 31, 2015, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $307,000 and accounts receivable of $148.2 million at December 31, 2014. We had a working capital balance of $61.7 million and $58.7 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We had net loss attributable to RadNet, Inc. common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of $4.6 million and $12.4 million respectively.  We also had stockholders’ equity of $4.6 million and $5.4 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations.  In addition to operations, we require a significant amount of capital for the initial start-up and development of new diagnostic imaging facilities, the acquisition of additional facilities and new diagnostic imaging equipment.  Because our cash flows from operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with third parties.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings from our senior secured credit facilities, will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs. Our future liquidity requirements will be for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate purposes. Our ability to meet our working capital and debt service requirements, however, is subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we are not able to meet such requirements, we may be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing from other sources on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

On a continuing basis, we also consider various transactions to increase shareholder value and enhance our business results, including acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures. These types of transactions may result in future cash proceeds or payments but the general timing, size or success of any acquisition, divestiture or joint venture effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We expect to fund any future acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including borrowing from amounts available under our senior secured credit facilities or through new equity or debt issuances.

We and our subsidiaries or affiliates may from time to time, in our or their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

Included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2015 is $563.3 million of senior secured term loan debt (net of unamortized discounts of $11.2 million), broken down by loan agreement as follows (in thousands):

	Face Value		Discount			Total Carrying Value
First Lien Term Loans	$	394,559	$	(8,681	)	$	385,878
Second Lien Term Loans	$	180,000	$	(2,558	)	$	177,442
Total	$	574,559	$	(11,239	)	$	563,320

Our revolving credit facility has a $24.7 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, and the Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement, each as defined below. Also described below are details of our $200 million senior notes, redemption of which was completed in 2014.

2014 Amendment to the Refinance Agreement and Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement:

On March 25, 2014, Radnet Management simultaneously entered into two agreements which resulted in the creation of a direct financial obligation as follows:

2014 Amendment of the Refinance Agreement. Radnet Management amended that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated October 10, 2012, by that certain first amendment dated April 3, 2013 (the “2013 Amendment”) (collectively, the “Refinance Agreement”), and subsequently by entering into a second amendment to the Refinance Agreement on March 25, 2014 (the “2014 Amendment”) to provide for, among other things, the borrowing by Radnet Management of $30.0 million of additional first lien term loans (the “2014 First Lien Term Loans”).

Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement. Radnet Management entered into a Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated March 25, 2014 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) to provide for, among other things, the borrowing by Radnet Management of $180.0 million of second lien term loans (the “Second Lien Term Loans”). The proceeds from the Second Lien Term Loans and the 2014 First Lien Term Loans were used to redeem the senior notes, as more fully described below under the heading “Senior Notes”, to pay the expenses related to the transaction and for general corporate purposes.

Revolving Credit Facility. The $101.25 million revolving credit line established in the Refinance Agreement was unaltered by the agreements above and remains in place. The termination date for the $101.25 million revolving credit facility is the earliest to occur of (i) October 10, 2017, (ii) the date the revolving credit facility is permanently reduced to zero pursuant to section 2.13(b) of the Refinance Agreement, which addresses voluntary commitment reductions and (iii) the date of the termination of the revolving credit facility due to specific events of default pursuant to section 8.01 of the Refinance Agreement. The revolver bears interest based on types of borrowings as follows: (i) unpaid principal at 6.5% per annum, (ii) letter of credit and fronting fees at 4.5% per annum, and (iii) commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused revolver balance.

The 2014 Amendment provides for the following:

Interest. The interest rates payable on the 2014 First Lien Term Loans are the same as the rates payable under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2013 Amendment, which are (a) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Refinance Agreement) plus 3.25% or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the Refinance Agreement) plus 2.25%. With respect to all of the term loans under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate has a minimum floor of 1.0%. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate at March 31, 2015 was 0.40%.

Payments. The scheduled amortization of the term loans under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, has been increased, starting in June 2014 from quarterly payments of $975,000 to quarterly payments of approximately $5.2 million, with the remaining balance to be paid at maturity. Scheduled amortization increased by $16.8 million from pre-amendment terms, representing a rise from 1% per annum to 5% per annum of the initial amount borrowed.

Guarantees and Collateral. The obligations under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, are guaranteed by RadNet, Inc., all of our current and future domestic subsidiaries and certain of our affiliates (other than certain excluded foreign subsidiaries). The obligations under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, and the guarantees are secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject to certain permitted exceptions) in substantially all of Radnet Management’s and the guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, including, but not limited to, pledges of equity interests of Radnet Management and all of our current and future domestic subsidiaries.

Restrictive Covenants. In addition to certain covenants, the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, places limits on our ability to declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or purchase debt, incur liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, amend or otherwise alter debt and other material agreements, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, enter into transactions with affiliates and alter the business we and our subsidiaries currently conduct.

Financial Covenants. The Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment contains financial covenants including a maximum total leverage ratio and a limit on annual capital expenditures.

Events of Default. In addition to certain customary events of default, events of default under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, include failure to pay the outstanding principal of any loans as and on the date when due, failure to pay any interest on any loan or any fee or other amount payable under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, within five days after the due date, failure of any loan party to comply with any covenant or agreement in the loan documents (subject to applicable grace periods and/or notice requirement), a representation or warranty contained in the loan documents is false in a material respect, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could permit the lenders under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable and to exercise other default remedies.

The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for the following:

Interest. The interest rates payable on the Second Lien Term Loans are (a) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement) plus 7.0% or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement) plus 6.0%. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate has a minimum floor of 1.0% on the Second Lien Term Loans. The Eurodollar Rate at March 31, 2015 was 0.40%. The rate paid on the Second Lien Credit Agreement at March 31, 2015 is 8%.

Payments. There is no scheduled amortization of the principal of the Second Lien Term Loans. Unless otherwise prepaid as a result of the occurrence of certain mandatory prepayment events, all principal will be due and payable on the termination date described below.

Termination. The maturity date for the Second Lien Term Loans is the earlier to occur of (i) March 25, 2021, and (ii) the date on which the Second Lien Term Loans shall otherwise become due and payable in full under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, whether by voluntary prepayment per section 2.13 (a) or events of default per section 8.01 as described below.

Restrictive Covenants. In addition to certain covenants, the Second Lien Credit Agreement places limits on our ability declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or purchase debt, incur liens and engage in sale-leaseback transaction, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, amend or otherwise alter debt and other material agreements, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, enter into transactions with affiliates and alter the business we and our subsidiaries currently conduct.

Events of Default. In addition to certain events of default, events of default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement include failure to pay the outstanding principal of any loans as and on the date when due, failure to pay any interest on any loan or any fee or other amount payable under the Second Lien Term Loans within five days after the due date, failure of any loan party to comply with any covenant or agreements in the loan documents (subject to applicable grace periods and/or notice requirements), a representation or warranty contained in the loan documents is false in a material respect, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could permit the lenders under the Second Lien Credit Agreement to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable and to exercise other default remedies.

Senior Notes

On April 6, 2010, we issued and sold $200 million of 10 3/8% senior unsecured notes due 2018 at a price of 98.680% (the “senior notes”). All payments of the senior notes, including principal and interest, were guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RadNet, Inc., and all of Radnet Management’s current and future domestic wholly owned restricted subsidiaries. The senior notes were issued under an indenture dated April 6, 2010 (the “Indenture”), by and among Radnet Management, Inc., as issuer, RadNet, Inc., as parent guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors thereof and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. We paid interest on the senior notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2010, and they were scheduled to expire on April 1, 2018.

We completed the retirement of our $200 million in senior notes on April 24, 2014 and following such retirement the Company completed the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. The transactions leading to the retirement of the Senior Notes are described below:

Tender Offer. On March 7, 2014, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all outstanding senior notes. In connection with the tender offer, we also commenced a consent solicitation to amend the Indenture to eliminate or modify certain restrictive covenants. On March 25, 2014, we made a payment in cash for all senior notes tendered prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on March 20, 2014 (the “Consent Payment Deadline”). As of the Consent Payment Deadline, we received tenders and consents in respect of $193,464,000 aggregate principal amount of the senior notes, representing 96.73% of the outstanding senior notes, all of which were accepted for purchase. The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of senior notes validly tendered and not withdrawn at or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline and accepted for purchase was $1,056.88, which amount included a consent payment (the “Consent Payment”) of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes. In addition, all senior notes accepted for payment received accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such notes from the last interest payment date prior to the applicable settlement date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. The tender offer expired on April 3, 2014 and between the Consent Payment Deadline and the expiration of the tender offer, no additional senior notes were tendered. With a net carrying amount including discount and unamortized issue costs of $189.2 million, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $15.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2014.

Exercise of Optional Redemption on March 25, 2014. On March 25, 2014, we called for redemption all of our remaining outstanding senior notes not purchased prior to the expiration of the tender offer described above, with a redemption date of April 24, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”). Upon redemption on April 24, 2014, the holders of the senior notes being redeemed received a redemption price equal to 105.188% of the outstanding principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed (or $1,051.88 per $1,000 in principal amount of the senior notes) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or approximately $6.9 million in total, including approximately $43,000 of accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding the Redemption Date.  As of that date, we completed the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with its terms and no senior notes remained outstanding.  With a net carrying amount including discount and unamortized issue costs of $6.4 million, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $471,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 2014.
