NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(
In thousands, except share and per share amounts
)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Interim Financial Data
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of CardioNet, Inc.s (the Company or CardioNet) financial position as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
Net Loss
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260,
Earnings Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including stock options and warrants, as applicable.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

If the outstanding vested options or restricted stock units were exercised or converted into common stock, the result would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are identical for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. financial institutions or in custodial accounts with U.S. financial institutions. Cash equivalents are defined as liquid investments and money market funds with maturity from date of purchase of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash and have minimal interest rate risk.

Table of Contents
Available-for-Sale Investments
Marketable securities that do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices and observable inputs, with unrealized gains and losses, reported as a separate component of stockholders equity. We classify securities as current or non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet based on maturity dates. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretions of discounts to maturity. Amortization of debt premiums and accretion of debt discounts are recorded in other income and expense. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value, that are considered to be other-than-temporary, are recorded in other income and expense. The cost of securities sold is based on specific identification.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable related to the patient services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed. The Company records allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of the receivable using historical customer- specific data. The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections, and the aging of specific receivables. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows.
Accounts receivable related to the product and research services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis, and considers several factors in its analysis including customer specific information and aging of the account.
The Company writes off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote, the receivables have been fully reserved, and when the Company believes collection efforts have been fully exhausted and it does not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect. The Company performs write-offs on a quarterly basis. The Company wrote off $8,479 and $10,660 of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. There was no impact on the net receivables reported on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, or bad debt expense reported on the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as a result of this write-off. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $9,066 and $8,555 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In accordance with ASC 350,
IntangiblesGoodwill and Other
, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or when events arise that could indicate that impairment exists. The provisions of ASC 350 require that the Company perform a two-step impairment test. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceeds the fair value of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded.
For the purpose of performing its goodwill impairment analysis, the Company considers its business to be comprised of three reporting units, patient service, products and research services. The Company calculates the fair value of the reporting units utilizing a weighting of the income and market approaches. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that includes assumptions for, among other things, forecasted income, cash flow, growth rates, income tax rates, expected tax benefits and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgment. The market approach utilizes the Companys market data as well as market data from publicly traded companies that are similar to the Company. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and the judgment applied in the analysis. The Company believes that the combination of an income and a market approach provides a reasonable basis to estimate the fair value of its reporting units.

Stock-Based Compensation
ASC 718,
Compensation Stock Compensation
, addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. ASC 718 requires that an entity measure the cost of equity-based service awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost of such awards over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). ASC 718 requires that an entity measure the cost of liability-based service awards based on current fair value that is re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. The Company accounts for equity awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50,
Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees
.
The Companys income before and after income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, was reduced by $2,656 and $3,297, respectively, as a result of stock-based compensation expense incurred. The impact of stock-based compensation expense was $(0.11) and $(0.13) on basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company estimates the fair value of its share-based awards to employees and directors using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the use of certain subjective assumptions. The most significant of these assumptions are the estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of the Companys stock and the expected term of the award. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we based our estimates of expected volatility on the historical average of our stock price. Prior to this period, we based our estimates of expected volatility on a group of similar entities whose stock prices are publicly available. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based awards granted are expected to be outstanding. Other assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model include the risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate for periods pertaining to the contractual life of each option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield of a similar duration in effect at the time of grant. The Company has never paid, and does not expect to pay, dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock options granted using the following weighted average assumptions:

Based on the Companys historical experience of options that cancel before becoming fully vested, the Company has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 15% for all options. Under the true-up provision of ASC 718, the Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.
Based on the above assumptions, the per share weighted average fair value of the options granted under the stock option plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1.58 and $2.84, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02,
Intangibles Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment
. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The new guidance allows an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If the qualitative assessment leads to the determination that is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. The Company does not expect the amendment to have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
2. Business Combination
On February 10, 2012, the Company entered into and closed on a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement) with ECG Scanning and Medical Services, Inc., an Ohio corporation (ECG Scanning). Upon the closing of the transaction the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock, and ECG Scanning became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. ECG Scanning is a provider of cardiac monitoring services in the United States. The Company paid an aggregate cash purchase price of $5,800 in cash at closing and up to an additional $600 in cash, with an estimated fair value of $570, upon the achievement of certain performance targets approximately one year from the date of purchase. The acquisition has been included within the consolidated results of operations and financial condition from the date of the acquisition. The acquisition gave the Company access to established customer relationships, and entry into additional regions and geographic locations.
The purchase price allocation of the ECG Scanning acquisition purchase consideration of $6,370 was completed in the second quarter of 2012. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation:

4. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurement
, defines fair value as an exit price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure that is based on the extent and level of judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities.
·
Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. The Companys Level 1 assets consist of cash and money market funds, as well as U.S. Treasury and agency debt securities.
·
Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data, such as alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Companys Level 2 assets consist of fixed income securities such as corporate debt securities including commercial paper and corporate bonds.
·
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company has not measured the fair value of any assets using Level 3 inputs. The Companys Level 3 liabilities include contingent consideration recognized in conjunction with business combination activities in the first quarter of 2012.
No transfers were made into or out of the different category levels, nor did the Company categorize any of its investments as Level 3 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Company will continue to review the fair value inputs on a quarterly basis.

As part of the consideration for the ECG Scanning acquisition, the Company has an arrangement in place whereby future consideration in the form of cash may be transferred to the seller contingent upon the achievement of certain earnings targets. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was estimated using the income approach with inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions include a discount rate commensurate with the level of risk of achievement, time horizon and other risk factors, and probability adjusted earnings growth, all of which the Company believes are appropriate and representative of market participant assumptions. The liability for the contingent consideration arrangement is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

6. Income Taxes
The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the quarterly period in which they occur. The Company reviews and updates its estimated annual effective tax rate each quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Companys estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. The Company recorded $431 of tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to the ECG Scanning acquisition.
As of September 30, 2012, in accordance with ASC 740, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until such time it can reasonably estimate the probability of realizing a benefit from the deferred tax assets. There has been no material change to the amount of unrecognized tax expense or benefit reported as of September 30, 2012.
7. Credit Agreement
On August 29, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (Credit Agreement) with MidCap Financial, LLC to provide revolving loan borrowings with a loan commitment of $15,000, and an option by the Company to increase to a maximum loan commitment of $30,000. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin of 4.75%. An unused line fee of 0.50% per annum is payable on any unused line balance, determined as the total loan commitment of $15,000 minus the average daily balance of the sum of the revolving loan borrowings outstanding during the preceding month. Furthermore, if the Company terminates the agreement at any point prior to the loan expiration date, the Company will incur a loan origination fee of 1.00% of the loan commitment due immediately preceding the termination. The Credit Agreement is secured by the Companys personal property, inventory and other assets and expires in August 2016.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company did not have any outstanding balance on the credit agreement.
8. Segment Information
ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
, establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance.
Effective the third quarter 2012, with the acquisition of Cardiocore, the Company changed its reportable segments from two segments: Patient services and Products, to three segments: Patient services, Product and Research services.
The Patient services business segments principal focus is on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders, through its core Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT), event and Holter services in a healthcare setting. The Product business segment focuses on the development, manufacturing, testing and marketing of medical devices and related software to medical companies, clinics and hospitals. The Company developed the Research services segment to include the Companys operations that focus on providing cardiac safety monitoring services in a research environment. In addition, the Company realigned the Product segment to exclude central core laboratory research operations previously reported in this segment and repositioned these operations into the Research services segment. Disclosures for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 have been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

9. Legal Proceedings
On May 8, 2012, CardioNet filed suit against The ScottCare Corporation and Ambucor Health Solutions, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Civil Action No. 2:12-CV-2516-PBT) for patent infringement related to the use, offering for use, sale, and offering for sale of the ScottCare TeleSentry Mobile Cardiac Telemetry device and monitoring services. On May 8, 2012, CardioNet also filed suit against Mednet Healthcare Technologies, Inc., MedTel 24, Inc., RhythmWatch LLC, and AMI Cardiac Monitoring, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Civil Action No. 2:12-CV-2517-JS) for patent infringement related to the use, offering for use, sale, and offering for sale of the Heartrak External Cardiac Ambulatory Telemetry device and monitoring services. The suits each allege that the defendants are infringing the following CardioNet patents: U.S. Patent Nos. 7,212,850, 7,907,996, 6,569,095, 7,587,237 and 7,941,207. CardioNet is seeking an injunction against each defendant, as well as monetary damages. Defendants Mednet HealthCare Technologies, Inc. and the ScottCare Corporation have asserted counterclaims alleging the patents in suit are invalid and not infringed. Consistent with the accounting for contingent liabilities, no accrual has been recorded in the financial statements. The Company is vigorously pursuing its claims and defending against the counterclaims.
10. Civil Investigative Demand
On August 25, 2011, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Western District of Washington. The CID states that it was issued in the course of an investigation under the federal false claims act and seeks documents for the period January 1, 2007 through the date of the CID. The CID indicates that the investigation concerns allegations that the Company may have used inappropriate diagnosis codes when submitting claims for payment to Medicare for its real-time, outpatient cardiac monitoring services. The Company is cooperating with the governments request and is in the process of providing information in response to the CID. The Company is unable to predict what action, if any, might be taken in the future by

the Department of Justice or other governmental authorities as a result of this investigation or what impact, if any, the outcome of this matter might have on the Companys business, financial position or results of operations. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter. Consistent with the accounting for contingent liabilities, no accrual has been recorded in the financial statements.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Companys actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this report and in the Companys other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See the Forward-Looking Statements section at the beginning of this report.
Company Background
CardioNet is a leading provider of ambulatory, continuous, real-time outpatient management solutions for monitoring relevant and timely clinical information regarding an individuals health. The Companys efforts have initially been focused on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias, or heart rhythm disorders, with a solution that it markets as Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT). The Company actively began developing its product platform in April 2000, and since that time, has devoted substantial resources in advancing its patient monitoring solutions. The platform successfully integrates a wireless data transmission network, internally developed software, FDA 510(k)-cleared algorithms and medical devices with 24-hour monitoring. The Company also provides event, Holter and pacemaker monitoring.
The Companys Conshohocken, PA and San Francisco, CA locations are Medicare approved Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTF). All of the Companys MCOT arrhythmia monitoring activities are currently conducted at these locations. The Company received FDA 510(k) clearance for the proprietary algorithm included in its third generation product, or C3, in October 2005. Subsequently in November 2006, the Company received FDA 510(k) clearance for its C3 system which it has incorporated as part of its monitoring solution. The Company received FDA 510(k) clearance for its C5 platform in April 2010, and successfully launched C5 in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company continues to pursue innovation of new and existing medical solutions through investments in research and development.
The Companys Product segment is engaged in the manufacture and sale of event and Holter medical devices, as well as the repair of such devices, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Braemar, Inc. (Braemar). Braemars customers include distributors and other resellers, physicians, clinics and hospitals. The Company also manages a core laboratory through its wholly owned subsidiary Agility Centralized Research Services, Inc. (Agility). Agility provides contract research monitoring services primarily to universities, hospitals, physicians, and private companies that are involved in the research and testing of pharmaceuticals, products and medical procedures.
In February 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of ECG Scanning & Medical Services, Inc. (ECG Scanning). ECG Scanning is engaged in providing cardiac monitoring services to general practitioners, internal medicine specialists, cardiologists and hospital cardiac care departments. The acquisition gives the Company access to established customer relationships and the ability to diversify its product and service offerings.
In August 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Cardiocore Lab, Inc. (Cardiocore). Cardiocore is engaged in central core laboratory services that provide cardiac monitoring for drug and medical treatment trials. Cardiocores primary customers are pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations. The acquisition gives the Company access to industry expertise, an established operating structure and a substantial footprint in the core lab industry.
Reimbursement
The Company is dependent on reimbursement for its patient services by government and commercial insurance payors. Medicare reimbursement rates for the Companys event, Holter and pacemaker monitoring services have been established nationally by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for many years, and fluctuate periodically based on the annually published CMS rate table.
The American Medical Association (AMA) established CPT codes covering MCOT services that became effective on January 1, 2009, and on January 1, 2011, CMS established a national rate that is subject to geographical adjustment. Effective January 1, 2012, the national Medicare reimbursement rate for the Companys MCOT services was $734 per service for patients monitored in Conshohocken, PA, compared to $739 in 2011. Beginning in February 2012, the Company moved its monitoring for Medicare patients to San Francisco, CA. The reimbursement rate for Medicare patients serviced in the San Francisco, CA facility, adjusted for local geographic pricing, is $943 per service.

Table of Contents
Commercial reimbursement pricing for our services has declined over the past three years. Commercial pricing is affected by numerous factors, including the current Medicare reimbursement rates, competitive pressures, our ability to successfully negotiate favorable terms in our agreements and the perceived value and effectiveness of our services.
We have successfully secured contracts with most national and regional commercial payors for our cardiac monitoring services. We estimate that over 210 million covered lives are represented through our commercial contracts and Medicare, which is approximately 70% of the total covered lives in the United States. The majority of the remaining lives that are not covered by our commercial contracts and Medicare are insured by a small number of large commercial insurance companies that deem MCOT to be experimental in nature and do not currently reimburse us for services provided to their beneficiaries.
Patient Services, Product, and Research Services Revenue
Patient services revenue includes revenue from MCOT, event, Holter and pacemaker monitoring services. Product revenue includes revenue from product sales and repairs. Research services revenue includes revenue for research and core laboratory services. The Company receives a significant portion of its revenue from third party commercial insurance organizations and governmental entities. It also receives reimbursement directly from patients through co-pay and self-pay arrangements. Billings for services reimbursed by contract third party payors, including Medicare, are recorded as revenue net of contractual allowances. Adjustments to the estimated receipts, based on final settlement with the third party payors, are recorded upon settlement. If the Company does not have sufficient historical information regarding collectability from a given payor to support revenue recognition at the time of service, revenue is recognized when cash is received. Unearned amounts are appropriately deferred until service is performed. The Company records research services revenue either as services and products are provided, or ratably over the term of the contract.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable related to the patient services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed. The Company records allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of the receivable using historical customer- specific data. The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections, and the aging of specific receivables. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows.
Accounts receivable related to the product and research services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis, and considers several factors in its analysis including customer specific information and aging of the account.
The Company will write-off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote, the receivables have been fully reserved, and when the Company believes collection efforts have been fully exhausted and it does not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect. The Company performs write-offs on a quarterly basis. The Company wrote off $8.5 million and $10.7 million of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The impact was reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $9.1 million and $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Integration, Restructuring and Other Charges
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred legal fees of $0.6 million related to ongoing legal matters, $0.3 million related to the settlement of ongoing litigation and $0.2 million for deal related costs. In addition, the Company incurred other charges of $0.3 million related to professional fees and $0.3 million related to severance and other employee related costs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred charges related to the integration of operations in connection with the Biotel acquisition. The Company incurred integration costs of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 which consisted of $1.1 million of severance and other employee related expenses, $0.9 million of professional fees related to strategic initiative and $0.8 million of legal costs associated with litigation. The Biotel integration activities were substantially complete as of December 31, 2011.

Verizon Supplier Agreement
The Company established a relationship with Verizon, formerly nPhase, in May 2003. Verizon is the sole provider of wireless cellular data connectivity solutions, data hosting and queuing services for the Companys monitoring network. The Company has no fixed or minimum financial commitment as it relates to network usage or volume activity. However, if the Company fails to maintain an agreed-upon number of active cardiac monitoring devices on the Verizon network or it utilizes the monitoring and communications services of a provider other than Verizon, the Company may be subject to penalties and Verizon has the right to terminate its relationship with the Company. To date, no penalties have been incurred related to this agreement.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
Revenues.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $27.0 million compared to $26.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $0.4 million, or 1.6%. This increase is attributable to higher research services revenue of $2.0 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Cardiocore. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline of $1.2 million in the product segment due to an unusually high sales volume in the prior year following the acquisition of Biotel.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit increased to $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase of $2.0 million, or 14.3%, is primarily related to the increased sales in the research services segment and lower cost of sales in the patient services segment. The lower costs are related to a decrease in depreciation expense of $1.1 million and other expenses of $0.7 million from cost reduction initiatives. These increases were partially offset by lower product segment sales volume. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 60.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 53.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
General and Administrative Expense.
General and administrative expense was $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $0.7 million, or 7.9%, was due primarily to lower payroll and other employee related expenses of $1.0 million, lower depreciation expense of $0.3 million and other lower expenses of $0.7 million in the patient services and product segments, partially offset by the inclusion of general and administrative expenses related to the ECG Scanning and Cardiocore acquisitions of $0.9 million. As a percent of total revenue, general and administrative expense was 29.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 32.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Sales and Marketing Expense.
Sales and marketing expense was $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $0.1 million, or 2.2%, primarily related to lower payroll and other employee related expenses, partially offset by the inclusion of expenses related to the ECG Scanning and Cardiocore acquisitions. As a percent of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was 23.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 24.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Bad Debt Expense.
Bad debt expense was $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The bad debt expense recorded was based upon an evaluation of historical collection experience of accounts receivable, by age, for various payor classes. As a percentage of net patient service revenue, bad debt expense was 13.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 13.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Research and Development Expense.
Research and development expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $0.2 million, or 14.0%, was due primarily to a decrease in production materials, outside and consulting services, and employee related expenses after the launch of our next generation MCOT device in the fourth quarter 2011. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in expenses in the research services segment as a result of the Cardiocore acquisition. As a percent of total revenue, research and development expense was 4.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 5.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Integration, Restructuring and Other Charges.
The Company incurred other charges of $0.7 million relating primarily to legal fees associated with the settlement of ongoing litigation for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Integration, restructuring and other charges were 2.7% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
17
Table of Contents
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred integration, restructuring and other charges of $1.6 million, related primarily to $0.9 million of professional fees related to ongoing strategic opportunities, $0.4 million of charges related to legal fees incurred in connection with ongoing litigation, and $0.3 million related to the integration of Biotel operations. Integration, restructuring and other charges were 6.1% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Net Loss.
The Company incurred a net loss of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a net loss of $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
Revenues.
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $81.5 million compared to $92.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $10.7 million, or 11.6%. The decrease was primarily related to lower patient services revenue of $10.5 million and $2.5 million in the product segment. The decrease was partially offset by the inclusion of $1.8 million of revenue in the research services segment due to the acquisition of Cardiocore.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit decreased to $48.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $53.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $4.6 million, or 8.6%, was due primarily to a decline in sales volume in the patient services and product segments, and due to startup costs for the San Francisco monitoring facility. These decreases were offset by lower depreciation expense of $3.6 million, lower device communication costs of $1.2 million and additional gross profit due to the inclusion of ECG Scanning and Cardiocore of $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue increased to 59.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 57.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
General and Administrative Expense.
General and administrative expense was $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $3.0 million, or 11.1%, was due primarily to lower payroll and other employee related expenses of $3.5 million, lower depreciation expense of $0.7 million and other expenses of $0.7 million as a result of cost reduction initiatives in the patient services and product segment, partially offset by the inclusion of general and administrative expenses in the patient services segment of $1.5 million related to ECG Scanning and $0.4 million in the research services segment related to the Cardiocore acquisition. As a percent of total revenue, general and administrative expense was 29.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 29.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Sales and Marketing Expense.
Sales and marketing expense was $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $3.4 million, or 15.5%, was due primarily to lower payroll and other employee related expenses of $3.2 million, meeting expenses of $0.5 million and other expenses of $0.5 million, offset by the inclusion of an additional $0.8 million of sales and marketing expenses in the patient services and research services segments as a result of the ECG Scanning and Cardiocore acquisitions. As a percent of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was 22.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 23.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Bad Debt Expense.
Bad debt expense was $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase of $0.5 million, or 6.0%, was due primarily to the inclusion of expense related to the ECG Scanning acquisition. The bad debt expense recorded was based upon an evaluation of historical collection experience of accounts receivable, by age, for various payor classes. As a percentage of net patient service revenue, bad debt expense was 12.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 10.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Research and Development Expense.
Research and development expense was $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $1.0 million, or 23.0%, was primarily due to a decrease in production materials and outside consulting services that were incurred in the prior year in connection with the development of our new MCOT device. As a percent of total revenue, research and development expense was 4.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 4.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes a detailed discussion of our liquidity, contractual obligations and commitments. The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in that Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2012, our principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents of $17.9 million and net accounts receivable of $22.6 million. In addition, the Company entered into a credit agreement in August 2012 providing the Company with a access to borrowings of up to $15.0 million. As of September 30, 2012, the Company did not have any outstanding balance on the credit agreement.
The Company generated $3.6 million of cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Companys ongoing operations during the nine month period resulted in a loss of $7.9 million, which included $18.1 million of non-cash items related to depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense. In addition, the Company used $6.5 million for working capital requirements, including $1.3 million for the settlement of the class action lawsuit and $1.7 million for integration activities
.
The Company used $4.4 million for the investment in medical devices for use in its ongoing operations, $22.2 million net of cash of $1.1 million for the purchase of Cardiocore, and $5.8 million for the purchase of ECG Scanning for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the Company received $39.6 million from the maturity and sale of certain of its short term investments, offset by $11.9 million used in the purchase of available-for-sale securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012 the Company converted all available-for-sale securities to cash.
If the Company determines that it needs to raise additional capital, such capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its existing stockholders ownership will be diluted. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict the ability to operate its business.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our cash as of September 30, 2012 was $17.9 million. As we do not invest in any short-term or long-term securities, we believe we have no material exposure to interest rate risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On May 8, 2012, CardioNet filed suit against The ScottCare Corporation and Ambucor Health Solutions, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Civil Action No. 2:12-CV-2516-PBT) for patent infringement related to the use, offering for use, sale, and offering for sale of the ScottCare TeleSentry Mobile Cardiac Telemetry device and monitoring services. On May 8, 2012, CardioNet also filed suit against Mednet Healthcare Technologies, Inc., MedTel 24, Inc., RhythmWatch LLC, and AMI Cardiac Monitoring, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Civil Action No. 2:12-CV-2517-JS) for patent infringement related to the use, offering for use, sale, and offering for sale of the Heartrak External Cardiac Ambulatory Telemetry device and monitoring services. The suits each allege that the defendants are infringing the following CardioNet patents: U.S. Patent Nos. 7,212,850, 7,907,996, 6,569,095, 7,587,237 and 7,941,207. CardioNet is seeking an injunction against each defendant, as well as monetary damages. Defendants Mednet HealthCare Technologies, Inc. and the ScottCare Corporation have asserted counterclaims alleging the patents in suit are invalid and not infringed. Consistent with the accounting for contingent liabilities, no accrual has been recorded in the financial statements. The Company is vigorously pursuing its claims and defending against the counterclaims.
On August 25, 2011, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Western District of Washington. The CID states that it was issued in the course of an investigation under the federal false claims act and seeks documents for the period January 1, 2007 through the date of the CID. The CID indicates that the investigation concerns allegations that the Company may have used inappropriate diagnosis codes when submitting claims for payment to Medicare for its real-time, outpatient cardiac monitoring services. The Company is cooperating with the governments request and is in the process of providing information in response to the CID. The Company is unable to predict what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the Department of Justice or other governmental authorities as a result of this investigation or what impact, if any, the outcome of this matter might have on the Companys business, financial position or results of operations. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter. Consistent with the accounting for contingent liabilities, no accrual has been recorded in the financial statements.
