NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We are a national provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States based on number of locations and annual imaging revenue. At
March 31, 2019
, we operated directly or indirectly through joint ventures with hospitals,
335
centers located in California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders. Our services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures. The vast majority of our centers offer multi-modality imaging services. Our multi-modality strategy diversifies revenue streams, reduces exposure to reimbursement changes and provides patients and referring physicians one location to serve the needs of multiple procedures.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radnet Management, Inc. (or “Radnet Management”) and Beverly Radiology Medical Group III, a professional partnership (“BRMG”). BRMG is a partnership of ProNet Imaging Medical Group, Inc., Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Inc. and Breastlink Medical Group, Inc. (formerly known as Westchester Medical Group Inc.). The 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., 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.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-15-14, Consolidation, 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 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 also owns, indirectly,
99%
of the equity interests in BRMG. BRMG is responsible for all of the professional medical services at nearly all 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 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.
As of February 28, 2019, we contract with seven medical groups which provide professional medical services at all of our facilities in Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York (“the NY Groups”). These contracts are similar to our contract with BRMG. Five of the NY Groups are owned or controlled by John V. Crues, III, M.D., RadNet’s Medical Director, a member of our Board of Directors, and a
1%
owner of BRMG. Dr Berger owns a controlling interest in two of the NY Groups which provide professional medical services at one of our Manhattan facilities. On February 28, 2019, one of our NY Group entities, Lenox Hill Radiology and Medical Imaging Associates, P.C. ("LHR"), purchased the membership interest of Hudson Valley Radiology Associates, P.L.L.C. ("HVRA") for
$6.0 million
of RadNet common stock and contingent consideration valued at
$680,000
to guarantee the share value issued for a period of six months post acquisition date. LHR has performed a preliminary purchase price allocation and recorded equipment of
$10,000
, a covenant not to compete of
$700,000
, trade name of
$70,000
and goodwill of
$3.1 million
from the transaction. In connection with the acquisition, RadNet also settled against the purchase consideration,
$2.8 million
, net of taxes, of an unfavorable vendor contract with HVRA stemming from the previous acquisition of Radiologix, Inc. in November 2006.
RadNet provides non-medical, technical and administrative services to BRMG and the NY Groups for which it receives a management fee, pursuant to the related management agreements. Through the management agreements we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations of BRMG and the NY Groups and we determine the annual budget of BRMG and the NY Groups. BRMG and the NY Groups both have insignificant operating assets and liabilities, and de minimis equity. Through management agreements with us, substantially all cash flows of BRMG and the NY Groups after expenses including professional salaries are transferred to us.
We have determined that BRMG and the NY Groups are VIEs, that we are the primary beneficiary, and consequently, we consolidate the revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities of each. BRMG and the NY Groups on a combined basis recognized
$37.4 million
and
$34.0 million
of revenue, net of management service fees to RadNet, for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively, and
$37.4 million
and
$34.0 million
of operating expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. RadNet recognized in its condensed consolidated statement of operations
$142.3 million
and
$118.6 million
of net revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
, and
2018
respectively, for management services provided to BRMG and the NY Groups relating primarily to the technical portion of total billed revenue.
The cash flows of BRMG and the NY Groups 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, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, we have included approximately
$98.7 million
and
$88.9 million
, respectively, of accounts receivable and approximately
$6.3 million
and
$5.6 million
, respectively, of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to BRMG and the NY Groups. Also in our consolidated balance sheets at
March 31, 2019
we have included
$2.7 million
in intangible assets related to the purchase of membership interest of a New York Group VIE.
The creditors of BRMG and the NY Groups 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 NY Groups. However, RadNet may be required to provide financial support to cover any operating expenses in excess of operating revenues.
We also own a
49%
economic interest in ScriptSender, LLC, which provides secure data transmission services of medical information. Through a management agreement, RadNet provides management and accounting services and receives an agreed upon fee. ScriptSender LLC is dependent on the Company to finance its own activities, and as such we determined that it is a VIE but we are not a primary beneficiary since we do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.
At all of our centers we have entered into long-term contracts with radiology groups in the area to provide physician services at those facilities. These 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 based on the value of the services we provide. Except in New York City, the fee is based on the practice group’s professional revenue, including revenue derived outside of our diagnostic imaging centers. In New York City we are paid a fixed fee set in advance for our services. 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 and we have no financial controlling interest in the radiology practices.
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, 2019
and
2018
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, 2018
.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
During the period covered in this report, we adopted a new significant accounting policy on Leases as described in Note 5 below. Except for the policy on Leases, 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, 2018
. 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, 2018
.
REVENUES - Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payers and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide diagnostic services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide diagnostic services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for diagnostic services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payer (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnostic services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.
As it relates to BRMG centers, this service fee revenue includes payments for both the professional medical interpretation revenue recognized by BRMG as well as the payment for all other aspects related to our providing the imaging services, for which we earn management fees from BRMG. As it relates to non-BRMG centers, this service fee revenue is earned through providing the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services as well as providing administration services such as 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.
Our revenues are based upon the estimated amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payers. Estimates of contractual allowances under managed care and commercial insurance plans are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Revenues related to uninsured patients and uninsured copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have discounts applied (uninsured discounts and contractual discounts). We also record estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect.
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.
The Company’s total net revenues during the three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
are presented in the table below based on an allocation of the estimated transaction price with the patient between the primary patient classification of insurance coverage (in thousands):

RECLASSIFICATION – We have reclassified certain amounts within our table of income allocation for 2018 to conform to our 2019 presentation.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers. We continuously monitor collections from our
payors and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon specific payor collection issues that we have identified and our historical experience.
In 2018 we entered into factoring agreements with various institutions and sold certain accounts receivable under non-recourse agreements. These transactions are accounted for as a reduction in accounts receivable as the agreements transfer effective control over and risk related to the receivables to the buyers. The aggregate gross amount factored under these facilities was
$20.5 million
for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the cost of factoring such accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2018 was
$440,000
. Proceeds will be received as a combination of cash and payments on notes receivable and will be reflected as operating activities on our statement of cash flows and on our balance sheet as prepaid expenses and other current assets for the current portion and deposits and other for the long term portion. At
March 31, 2019
we have
$17.8 million
remaining to be collected on these agreements. We do not utilize factoring arrangements as an integral part of our financing for working capital.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS - Costs of financing are deferred and amortized using the effective interest rate method. Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, were
$1.2 million
and
$1.4 million
, as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively and related to our line of credit. See Note 6, Revolving Credit Facility and Notes Payable, for more information.
INVENTORIES - Inventories, consisting mainly of medical supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is performed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired, which range from
3
to
15
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized at the lesser of lease term or their estimated useful lives, which range from
3
to
15
years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
BUSINESS COMBINATION - When the qualifications for business combination accounting treatment are met, it requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE LIVED INTANGIBLES- Goodwill at
March 31, 2019
totaled
$424.3 million
. Indefinite lived intangible assets at
March 31, 2019
were
$9.9 million
. Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangibles are recorded as a result of business combinations. When we determine the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value an impairment charge would be recognized and should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We tested goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles for impairment on October 1, 2018. During the review we noted our Teleradiology unit, Imaging On Call, (IOC), experienced a reduction of professional medical group clients and a contract with a major local health provider during 2018. This affected its estimated fair value and resulted in impairment charges to our the reporting unit of
$3.9 million
for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2018
, with goodwill representing
$3.8 million
of the total and the remainder being its trade name of approximately
$100,000
. We have not identified any indicators of impairment through
March 31, 2019
. Activity in goodwill for the three months ended
March 31, 2019

INCOME TAXES - 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 in determining whether our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. We recorded an income tax benefit of
$1.2 million
, or an effective tax rate of
39.0%
, for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
compared to income tax benefit for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
of
$2.5 million
, or an effective tax rate of
22.4%
. The income tax rates for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
diverge from the federal statutory rate due to (i) noncontrolling interests due to the controlled partnerships; (ii) effects of state income taxes; (iii) excess tax benefits attributable to share-based compensation; and adjustment associated with uncertain tax positions.
U.S. GAAP requires that the impact of tax legislation be recognized in the period in which the law was enacted. As a result, we recorded provisional amounts due to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the transition tax on deemed repatriation of accumulated foreign income during the year ended
December 31, 2018
. Both of these tax charges represent provisional amounts and our current best estimates. Any adjustments recorded to the provisional amounts will be included as an adjustment to tax expense. The provisional amounts incorporate assumptions made based upon our current interpretation of the Tax Reform Act and may change as we receive additional clarification and implementation guidance.
We are not under examination in any jurisdiction and the years ended
December 31, 2018
,
2017
, and
2016
remain subject to examination. We believe no significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next 12 months.
LEASES - We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long term operating lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current finance lease liability, and long-term finance lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. We include options to extend a lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For a contract in which we are a lessee that contains fixed payments for both lease and non-lease components, we have elected to account for the components as a single lease component, as permitted. For finance leases, interest expense on the lease liability is recognized using the effective interest method and amortization of the right-of-use asset is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. See Note 5, Leases, for more information.
EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION – We have one long-term incentive plan that we adopted in 2006 and which we first amended and restated as of April 20, 2015, and again on March 9, 2017 (the “Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual stockholders meeting on June 8, 2017. We have reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan
14,000,000
shares of common stock. We can issue options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, stock units and cash awards under the Restated Plan. Certain options granted under the Restated Plan to employees are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under existing tax regulations. Stock options and warrants generally vest over
three
to
five years
and expire
five
to
ten years
from date of grant. The compensation expense recognized for all equity-based awards is recognized over the awards’ service periods. Equity-based compensation is classified in operating expenses within the same line item as the majority of the cash compensation paid to employees. See Note 7, Stock-Based Compensation, for more information.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - ASC 220,
Comprehensive Income,
establishes rules for reporting and displaying comprehensive income or loss and its components. Our unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and our interest rate cap agreement are included in comprehensive income. The components of comprehensive loss for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS - In the fourth quarter of 2016, we entered into two forward interest rate cap agreements ("2016 Caps"). The 2016 Caps will mature in September and October 2020. The 2016 Caps had notional amounts of
$150,000,000
and
$350,000,000
, respectively, which were designated at inception as cash flow hedges of future cash interest payments associated with portions of the our variable rate bank debt. Under these arrangements, the Company purchased a cap on 3 month LIBOR at
2.0%
. We are liable for a
$5.3 million
premium to enter into the caps which is being accrued over the life of the agreements.
At inception, we designated our 2016 Caps as cash flow hedges of floating-rate borrowings. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments are reported at fair value. The gain or loss of the hedge (i.e. change in fair value) is reported as a component of comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of equity. See Fair Value Measurements section below for the fair value of the 2016 Caps at
March 31, 2019
.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements are required to be disclosed within a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value. Accordingly, assets and liabilities carried at, or permitted to be carried at, fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy in one of the following categories based on the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement:
Level 1—Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2—Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Fair value is determined by using inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgment.
The table below summarizes the estimated fair values of certain of our financial assets that are subject to fair value measurements, and the classification of these assets on our consolidated balance sheets, as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of these contracts was determined using Level 2 inputs. More specifically, the fair value was determined by calculating the value of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the interest rate swaps and the counterparty’s forward LIBOR curve. The forward LIBOR curve is readily available in the public markets or can be derived from information available in the public markets.

As of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, our Barclays revolving credit facility had
$41.0 million
and
$28.0 million
aggregate principal amount outstanding, respectively. Our SunTrust revolving credit facility had
no
principal amount outstanding at March 31, 2019.
The estimated fair value of our long-term debt, which is discussed in Note 6, was determined using Level 2 inputs primarily related to comparable market prices.
We consider the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, current liabilities and other notes payables to approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization or payment. Additionally, we consider the carrying amount of our capital lease obligations to approximate their fair value because the weighted average interest rate used to formulate the carrying amounts approximates current market rates.
EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding, net of common stock held in treasury, as follows (in thousands except share and per share data):

EQUITY INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE–Accounting guidance requires entities to measure equity investments at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in net income. If there is no readily determinable fair value, the guidance allows entities the ability to measure investments at cost less impairment.
As of
March 31, 2019
, we have two equity investments for which a fair value is not readily determinable and therefore the total amounts invested are recognized at cost as follows:
Medic Vision:
Medic Vision, based in Israel, specializes in software packages that provide compliant radiation dose structured reporting and enhanced images from reduced dose CT scans.
On March 24, 2017, we acquired an initial
12.5%
equity interest in Medic Vision – Imaging Solutions Ltd for
$1.0 million
. We also received an option to exercise warrants to acquire up to an additional
12.5%
equity interest for
$1.4 million
within one year from the initial share purchase date, if exercised in full. On March 1, 2018 we exercised our warrant in part and acquired an additional
1.96%
for
$200,000
. Our initial equity interest has been diluted to
12.25%
and our total equity investment stands at
14.21%
.
In accordance with accounting guidance
,
as we exercise no significant influence over Medic Vision’s operations, the investment is recorded at its cost of
$1.2 million
, given that the fair value is not readily determinable. No impairment in our investment was identified as of the three months ended
March 31, 2019
.
Turner Imaging:
Turner Imaging Systems, based in Utah, develops and markets portable X-ray imaging systems that provide a user the ability to acquire X-ray images wherever and whenever they are needed. On February 1, 2018, we purchased
2.1 million
preferred shares in Turner Imaging Systems for
$2.0 million
. On January 1, 2019 we funded a convertible promissory note in the amount of
$143,000
that will convert to additional preferred shares no later than December 21, 2019. No impairment in our investment was identified for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
.
INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES – We have
14
unconsolidated joint ventures with ownership interests ranging from
25%
to
55%
. These joint ventures represent partnerships with hospitals, health systems or radiology practices and were formed for the purpose of owning and operating diagnostic imaging centers. Professional services at the joint venture diagnostic imaging centers are performed by contracted radiology practices or a radiology practice that participates in the joint venture. Our investment in these joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method, since RadNet does not have a controlling financial interest in such ventures. We evaluate our investment in joint ventures, including cost in excess of book value (equity method goodwill) for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. No indicators of impairment existed as of
March 31, 2019
.
Sale of joint venture interest:
On April 1, 2017, we formed in conjuncture with Cedars Sinai Medical Center (“CSMC”) the Santa Monica Imaging Group, LLC (“SMIG”), consisting of two multi-modality imaging centers located in Santa Monica, CA with RadNet holding a
40%
economic interest and CSMC holding a
60%
economic interest. RadNet accounts for our share of the venture under the equity method. On January 1, 2019, CSMC purchased from the company, an additional
five percent
economic interest in SMIG valued at
$134,000
. As a result of the transaction, our economic interest in SMIG has been reduced to
35%
. We recorded a loss of
$2,000
on the transaction.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING STANDARDS
Accounting standards adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
(ASU 2016-02), which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13 which provides additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU No. 2016-02. Subsequently, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvement, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. The amendments in this update were effective for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted for all entities. Under the new guidance, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases with terms in excess of twelve months. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to
understand the amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Consistent with current guidance, a lessee’s recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will continue to depend primarily on its classification. The accounting standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have elected the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the effective date and therefore, we will not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. We elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. For facility and equipment operating leases, the effect of the adoption amounted to a lease liability of approximately
$455.5 million
. Operating lease right-of-use assets were recorded in the amount of approximately
$419.0 million
. Inclusive in the adoption was the transfer of approximately
$35.3 million
in deferred rent liability and
$792,000
in unfavorable rental contract liabilities to operating lease right of use assets. For finance leases, the effect of the adoption amounted to a finance lease liability of approximately
$12.1 million
, which was transfered from capital lease debt. Equipment leased under the finance arrangements, amounting to
$14.1 million
, remained in property, plant and equipment. The transition adjustment did not have a material impact on the statement of operations or cash flows. See Note 5, Leases, for more information.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02 (“ASU 2018-02”),
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
. ASU 2018-02 allows for the reclassification of certain income tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act between “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and “Retained earnings.” This ASU relates to the requirement that adjustments to deferred tax liabilities and assets related to a change in tax laws or rates to be included in “Income from continuing operations”, even in situations where the related items were originally recognized in “Other comprehensive income” (rather than in “Income from continuing operations”). Subsequently, in March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05,
Income Taxes,
to clarify and amend guidance in ASU 2018-02. ASU 2018-02 and ASU 2018-05 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this ASU is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the tax laws or rates were recognized. The adoption had no significant impact on the our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Accounting standards not yet adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13),
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.
ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The standard will be effective for us beginning December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”),
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software.
ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for deferring implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This ASU is effective in the first quarter of 2020 with early adoption permitted and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
NOTE 4 – FACILITY ACQUISITIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Acquisitions
On February 1, 2019 our majority owned subsidiary, West Valley Imaging Group, LLC ("WVIG") completed its acquisition of certain assets of West Valley Imaging Center, LLC ("West Valley"), consisting of a single multi-modality imaging center located in West Hills, CA for purchase consideration of
$3.0 million
all of which was initially funded by the Company. We have made a preliminary fair value determination of the acquired assets and approximately
$300,000
in equipment and fixed assets,
$7,000
in other assets,
$200,000
in intangible assets and
$2.5 million
in goodwill were recorded. Subsequent to the transaction, our partner in WVIG, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, contributed
$750,000
in cash to maintain its
25%
economic interest in the venture.
On February 28, 2019, one of our NY Group entities, Lenox Hill Radiology and Medical Imaging Associates, P.C., purchased the membership interest of Hudson Valley Radiology Associates, P.L.L.C. See note 1, Nature of Business, for further information.
Joint venture formations
On February 13, 2019 we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Ventura County Imaging Group, LLC ("VCIG"). On March 1, 2019, Dignity Health joined as a venture partner. Total agreed contribution of both parties was
$10.4 million
of cash and assets with RadNet contributing net assets with a book value of
$4.3 million
for a
60%
economic interest and Dignity Health contributing
$6.1 million
in cash and assets for a
40%
economic interest. For its contribution, RadNet transferred net assets of three wholly owned multi-modality imaging centers. Dignity Health contributed approximately
$800,000
in assets to acquire
5%
economic interest and paid RadNet
$5.3 million
for an additional
35%
economic interest. RadNet maintains controlling economic interest in VCIG and fully consolidates the results into our financial statements.
Assets held for sale:
Effective January 1, 2018 we agreed to sell certain assets of four women’s imaging centers to MemorialCare Medical Foundation. The sale is anticipated within the next 12 months.

NOTE 5 - LEASES
Adoption of Standard
In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet
for all leases with terms in excess of twelve months.
Sufficient disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard was effective for us beginning January 1, 2019.
We have elected the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the effective date and therefore, we will not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. We also elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs.
In preparation for adoption of the standard, we have implemented internal control procedures and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information.
The adoption of the standard had a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, but did not have material impact on our condensed consolidated income statements or cash flows. Adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition
an operating lease liability of
$455.5 million
. Operating lease ROU assets were recorded in the amount of
$419.0 million
. Inclusive in the adoption was the transfer of
$35.3 million
in deferred rent liability and
$792,000
in unfavorable rental contract liabilities to operating lease ROU assets. For finance leases, the effect of the adoption amounted to a finance lease liability of
$12.1 million
, which was transfered from capital lease debt and a finance right of use assets in the amount of
$14.1 million
which remained in property, plant and equipment.
Lease Liability
We have operating leases for medical facilities, administrative offices, warehouse space and major medical equipment. We lease the premises at which these facilities are located and do not have options to purchase the facilities we rent. Our most common initial term varies in length from
5
to
15
years. Including renewal options negotiated with the landlord, we can have a total span of
10
to
35
years at the facilities we lease. We also lease smaller satellite X-Ray locations on mutually renewable terms, usually lasting one year. Additionally, we have operating and finance leases for certain medical and office equipment, with lease terms generally lasting from
5
to
8
years. Our Incremental Borrowing Rate ("IBR") used to discount the stream of lease payments
is closely related to the interest rates charged on our collateralized debt obligations and our IBR is adjusted when those rates experience a substantial change.

March 31, 2019
. We had no balance under our

The following describes our financing activities related to our Barclays credit facilities:
Amendment No. 5, Consent and Incremental Joinder Agreement to Credit and Guaranty Agreement
On August 22, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 5, Consent and Incremental Joinder Agreement to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) with respect to our First Lien Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, we issued
$170.0 million
in incremental First Lien Term Loans, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full previously outstanding second lien term loans.
Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, we also changed the interest rate margin applicable to borrowings under the First Lien Credit Agreement. While borrowings under the First Lien Credit Agreement continue to bear interest at either an Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or a Base Rate (in each case, as more fully defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) or a combination of both, at the election of the Company, plus an applicable margin. Applicable margin for Adjusted Eurodollar Rate borrowings and Base Rate borrowings was changed from
3.25%
and
2.25%
, respectively, to
3.75%
and
2.75%
, respectively, through an initial period which ended when financial reporting was delivered for the period ended September 30, 2017. Thereafter, the rates of the applicable margin for borrowing under the First Lien Credit Agreement adjust depending on our leverage ratio, according to the following schedule:
|
|
|
|
First Lien Leverage Ratio
|
Eurodollar Rate Spread
|
Base Rate Spread
|
> 5.50x
|

|

|
2.50%
|
≤ 3.50x
|
3.25%
|
2.25%
|
At
March 31, 2019
the effective Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate for the First Lien Term Loans was
2.75%
and
5.50%
, respectively and the applicable margin for Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and Base Rate borrowings was
3.75%
and
2.75%
, respectively.
Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the First Lien Credit Agreement was amended so that we can elect to request 1) an increase to the existing Barclays Revolving Credit Facility and/or 2) additional First Lien Term Loans, provided that the aggregate amount of such increases and additions does not exceed (a)
$100.0 million
and (b) as long as the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) would not exceed
4.00
:1.00 after giving effect to such incremental facilities, an uncapped amount of incremental facilities, in each case subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement. Each lender approached to provide all or a portion of any incremental facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an incremental commitment or loan.
Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the First Lien Credit Agreement was also amended to (i) provide for quarterly payments of principal of the First Lien Term Loans in the amount of approximately $
8.3 million
, as compared to approximately
$6.1 million
prior to the Fifth Amendment, (ii) extend the call protection provided to the holders of the First Lien Term Loans for a period of twelve months following the date of the Fifth Amendment and (iii) provide us with additional operating flexibility, including the
ability to incur certain additional debt and to make certain additional restricted payments, investments and dispositions, in each case as more fully set forth in the Fifth Amendment. Total issue costs for the Fifth Amendment aggregated to approximately
$4.7 million
. Of this amount,
$4.1 million
was identified and capitalized as discount on debt,
$350,000
was capitalized as deferred financing costs and the remaining
$235,000
was expensed. Amounts capitalized will be amortized over the remaining term of the agreement.
Fourth Amendment to First Lien Credit Agreement
On February 2, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with respect to our First Lien Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the interest rate margin per annum on the First Lien Term Loans and the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by 50 basis points, from
3.75%
to
3.25%
. Except for such reduction in the interest rate on credit extensions, the Fourth Amendment did not result in any other material modifications to the First Lien Credit Agreement. RadNet incurred expenses for the transaction in the amount of
$543,000
, which was recorded to discount on debt and will be amortized over the remaining term of the agreement.
The following describes our applicable financing prior to giving effect to the Fourth Amendment and Fifth Amendment discussed above.
First Lien Credit Agreement
On July 1, 2016, we entered into the First Lien Credit Agreement pursuant to which we amended and restated our then existing first lien credit facilities. Pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, we originally issued
$485 million
of First Lien Term Loans and established the
$117.5 million
Barclays Revolving Credit Facility. Proceeds from the First Lien Credit Agreement were used to repay the previously outstanding first lien loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement, make a
$12.0 million
principal payment of the Second Lien Term Loans, pay costs and expenses related to the First Lien Credit Agreement and provide approximately
$10.0 million
for general corporate purposes.
Interest:
Prior to the Fourth Amendment and Fifth Amendment, the interest rates payable on the First Lien Term Loans were (a) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) plus
3.75%
per annum or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) plus
2.75%
per annum. As applied to the First Lien Term Loans, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate has a minimum floor of
1.0%
.
Payments:
Prior to the Fourth Amendment and Fifth Amendment, the scheduled quarterly principal payment of the First Lien Term Loans was approximately
$6.1 million
, with the balance due at maturity.
Maturity Date:
The maturity date for the First Lien Term Loans shall be on the earlier to occur of (i) July 1, 2023 and (ii) the date on which all First Lien Term Loans shall become due and payable in full under the First Lien Credit Agreement, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
Barclays Revolving Credit Facility:
The First Lien Credit Agreement provides for a
$117.5 million
Barclays revolving credit facility. Revolving loans borrowed under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either an Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or a Base Rate (in each case, as more fully defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin. Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the applicable margin was amended to vary based on our leverage ratio in accordance with the following schedule:
|
|
|
|
First Lien Leverage Ratio
|
Eurodollar Rate Spread
|
Base Rate Spread
|
> 5.50x

For letters of credit issued under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit fees accrue at the applicable margin (see table above) for Adjusted Eurodollar Rate revolving loans and fronting fees accrue at
0.25%
per annum, in each case on the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement. In addition a commitment fee of
0.5%
per annum accrues on the unused revolver commitments under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility. As of
March 31, 2019
, the interest rate payable on revolving loans was
8.25%
. With amounts borrowed of
$41.0 million
and a reserve for letters of credit of
$6.9 million
as of
March 31, 2019
, the amount available to borrow under the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility at
March 31, 2019
was
$69.6 million
.
The Barclays Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i)
July 1, 2021
, (ii) the date we voluntarily agree to permanently reduce the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility to zero pursuant to section 2.13(b) of the First Lien Credit Agreement, and (iii) the date the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility is terminated due to specific events of default pursuant to section 8.01 of the First Lien Credit Agreement.
The following describes our financing activities with respect to our SunTrust credit facilities:
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Incentive Plans
We have one long-term equity incentive plan which we refer to as the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which we first amended and restated as of April 20, 2015 and again on March 9, 2017 (the "Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan was approved by our stockholders at our annual stockholders meeting on June 8, 2017. We have reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan
14,000,000
shares of common stock. We can issue options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, stock units and cash awards under the Restated Plan.
Options
Certain options granted under the Restated Plan to employees are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under existing tax regulations. Stock options generally vest over
3
to
5
years and expire
5

10
years from the date of grant.
As of
March 31, 2019
, we had outstanding options to acquire
481,451
shares of our common stock, of which options to acquire

On April 18, 2019 we entered into the following two new amendments to the First Lien Credit Agreement: (i) Amendment No. 6, Consent and Incremental Joinder Agreement to Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 18, 2019 by and among Radnet Management, Inc., RadNet, Inc., certain subsidiaries and affiliates of RadNet, Inc., the lenders party thereto from time to time, and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Sixth Amendment”); and (ii) Amendment No. 7 to Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 18, 2019 by and among Radnet Management, Inc., RadNet, Inc., certain subsidiaries and affiliates of RadNet, Inc., the lenders party thereto from time to time, and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Seventh Amendment”).
The Sixth Amendment amended the First Lien Credit Agreement to issue
$100.0 million
in incremental First Lien Term Loans and to add an additional
$20.0 million
of revolving commitments. Under the First Lien Credit Agreement, we now have approximately
$679.0 million
in First Lien Term Loans outstanding and capacity to borrow up to
$137.5 million
under our Barclays Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds of the incremental First Lien Term Loans have been used to repay revolving loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the fees, costs and expenses associated with the Sixth Amendment and the Seventh Amendment.
The Seventh Amendment amends the First Lien Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Barclays Revolving Credit Facility by an additional
two years
to July 1, 2023, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement.
The First Lien Credit Agreement, as amended by the Sixth Amendment, provides for quarterly payments of principal under the First Lien Term Loans in the amount of approximately
$9.7 million
, as compared to approximately
$8.3 million
under the First Lien Credit Agreement prior to the Sixth Amendment.
