Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements that we make from time to time, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to anticipated future events, future results of operations or future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “could,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” “goals,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “possible,” “potential,” “target,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, without limitation, statements reflecting management’s expectations for future financial performance and operating expenditures (including our ability to continue as a going concern, to raise additional capital and to succeed in our future operations), expected growth, profitability and business outlook, increased sales and marketing expenses, and the expected results from the integration of our acquisitions.
Forward-looking statements are only predictions, are uncertain and involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our (or our industry’s) actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, the unknown risks and uncertainties that we believe could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements as set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements, including without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to:
● | our ability to manage our growth, including acquiring, partnering with, and effectively integrating acquired businesses into our infrastructure and avoiding legal exposure and liabilities associated with acquired companies and assets; | |
● | our ability to retain our clients and revenue levels, including effectively migrating new clients and maintaining or growing the revenue levels of our new and existing clients; | |
● | our ability to maintain operations in Pakistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Sri Lanka (together, the “Offshore Offices”) in a manner that continues to enable us to offer competitively priced products and services; | |
● | our ability to keep pace with a rapidly changing healthcare industry; | |
● | our ability to consistently achieve and maintain compliance with a myriad of federal, state, foreign, local, payor and industry requirements, regulations, rules, laws and contracts; | |
● | our ability to maintain and protect the privacy of confidential and protected Company, client and patient information; | |
● | our ability to develop new technologies, upgrade and adapt legacy and acquired technologies to work with evolving industry standards and third-party software platforms and technologies, and protect and enforce all of these and other intellectual property rights; | |
● | our ability to attract and retain key officers and employees, and the continued involvement of Mahmud Haq as Executive Chairman and A. Hadi Chaudhry and Stephen Snyder as Co-Chief Executive Officers, all of which are critical to our ongoing operations and growing our business; | |
● | our ability to realize the expected cost savings and benefits from our restructuring activities and structural cost reductions; | |
● | our ability to comply with covenants contained in our credit agreement with our senior secured lender, Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank, and other future debt facilities; | |
● | our ability to continue to pay our monthly dividends which were suspended in December 2023 and resumed in February 2025 to the holders of our Series A and Series B preferred stock; | |
● | our ability to incorporate AI into our products faster and more successfully than our competitors, protecting the privacy of medical records and cybersecurity threats; | |
● | our ability to compete with other companies developing products and selling services competitive with ours, and who may have greater resources and name recognition than we have; | |
● | our ability to effectively integrate, manage and keep our information systems secure and operational in the event of a cyber-attack; | |
● | our ability to respond to the uncertainty resulting from pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies and the impact they may have on our operations, the demand for our services, our projected results of operations, financial performance or other financial metrics or any of the foregoing risks and economic activity in general; | |
● | our ability to keep and increase market acceptance of our products and services; | |
● | changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; and | |
● | other factors disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). |
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations, beliefs and views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our assessments to change. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we currently expect. The forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as representing our assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 8-03. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025.

Significant Accounting Policies — During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from its disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements — From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements – Issue 2. The amendments in this update require that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be: (1) amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease and (2) accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This update amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The new guidance is intended to align U.S. GAAP requirements with those of the SEC and to facilitate the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027 the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the associated amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Disclosures. The amendments in this update improve segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The impact was only to the financial statement disclosures, which have been adopted by the Company.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
9 |
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. These Codification updates are for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance and other minor improvements. The resulting amendments are referred to as Codification improvements. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This update contains amendments that require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The expected impact would only be to the financial statement disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This update clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. Public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The expected impact would only be to the financial statement disclosures.

7. LEASES
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office and temporary living space as well as for some office equipment. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liability and non-current operating lease liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company does not have any finance leases.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, which are derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to our bank financing arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. We review our incremental borrowing rate on a quarterly basis.
Our lease terms include options to extend the
lease when we believe that we may want the right to exercise that option.
Lease expense is included in direct operating costs, general and administrative expense, selling and marketing expense and research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the nature of the expense. Our lease terms are determined taking into account lease renewal options, the Company’s anticipated operating plans and leases that are on a month-to-month basis. The Company also has some related party leases – see Note 9.

On December 11, 2023, the Board of Directors suspended the monthly cash dividends for the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock beginning with the payment scheduled for December 15, 2023, together with the remaining dividends that were declared. The suspension of these dividends deferred approximately $
million in cash dividend payments each month.

In January 2025, the Company’s common stock shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized common shares from
million to million. An amended certificate of incorporation was filed by the Company.
Also, in January 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared the resumption of suspended Preferred Stock dividends beginning with two months of payments. In February 2025, the Company resumed monthly payment of the dividends on the Series A and B Preferred Stock, paying one month of dividends in arrears in both February and March 2025 and applying these amounts to the earliest payments in arrears. The March 2025 payment, which occurred after the conversion as discussed below, included dividends for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were not converted and dividends for the Series B Preferred Stock.
On March 6, 2025, the Board of Directors elected to exercise its conversion rights, which provided for the conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock into
shares of common stock, inclusive of all accumulated and unpaid dividends. Dividends on the converted Series A Preferred shares ceased to accrue as of the conversion date. Individual shareholders who, on the exchange date, owned at least shares of Series A Preferred Stock did not have their shares automatically converted to common stock so long as they were held by the Company’s transfer agent, unless they consented to the Conversion. There were shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted and shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025. Due to the Conversion, the monthly cash dividends were reduced to approximately $ per month. As a result of the Conversion, the Company delisted the Series A Preferred Stock from the Nasdaq Global Market.

Also during March 2025, two more months of
dividends were declared by the Board of Directors. At March 31, 2025, the Company owed approximately $
12. REVENUE
Introduction
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All revenue is recognized as our performance obligations are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under ASC 606. The Company recognizes revenue when the revenue cycle management services begin on the medical billing claims, which is generally upon receipt of the claim from the provider. For many services, the Company recognizes revenue as a percentage of the amount the customer collects on the medical billing claims. The Company’s software is utilized at the time the provider sees the patient, and the Company estimates the value of the consideration it will earn over the remaining contractual period as our services are provided and recognizes the fees over the term; this estimation involves predicting the amounts our clients will ultimately collect associated with the services they provided. Certain significant estimates, such as payment-to-charge ratios, effective billing rates and the estimated contractual payment periods are required to measure revenue cycle management revenue under the standard.
Most of our current contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation. For contracts where we provide multiple services, such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, each service represents its own performance obligation. The standalone selling prices are based on the contractual price for the service.
We apply the portfolio approach as permitted by ASC 606 as a practical expedient to contracts with similar characteristics and we use estimates and assumptions when accounting for those portfolios. Our contracts generally include standard commercial payment terms. We have no significant obligations for refunds, warranties or similar obligations and our revenue does not include taxes collected from our customers.
Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We derive revenue from five primary sources: (1) technology-enabled business solutions, (2) professional services, (3) printing and mailing services, (4) group purchasing services and (5) medical practice management services.

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Technology-enabled business solutions:
Revenue derived on an on-going basis from our technology-enabled solutions, which typically include revenue cycle management services, is billed as a percentage of payments collected by our customers. The fee for our services often includes the ability to use our electronic health records (“EHR”) and practice management software as well as revenue cycle management (“RCM”) as part of the bundled fee. The Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) component is not a material portion of the contract compared to the stand-alone value of RCM.
Technology-assisted revenue cycle management services are the recurring process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies in order for the healthcare providers to receive payment for the services they rendered. The Company typically invoices customers on a monthly basis based on the actual collections received by its customers and the agreed-upon rate in the sales contract. The fee for these services typically includes use of practice management software and related tools (on a SaaS basis), electronic health records (on a SaaS basis), medical billing services and use of mobile health solutions. We consider the services to be one performance obligation since the promises are not distinct in the context of the contract. The performance obligation consists of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers.
In many cases, our clients may terminate their agreements with 90 days’ notice without cause, thereby limiting the term in which we have enforceable rights and obligations, although this time period can vary between clients. Our payment terms are normally net 30 days. Although our contracts typically have stated terms of one or more years, under ASC 606 our contracts are considered month-to-month and accordingly, there is no financing component.
For the majority of our revenue cycle management contracts, the total transaction price is variable because our obligation is to process an unknown quantity of claims, as and when requested by our customers over the contract period. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimates to determine variable consideration such as payment-to-charge ratios, effective billing rates, and the estimated contractual payment periods are updated at each reporting date. Revenue is recognized over the performance period using the input method.
Our proprietary, cloud-based practice management application automates the labor-intensive workflow of a medical office in a unified and streamlined SaaS platform. The Company has a large number of clients who utilize the Company’s practice management software, electronic health records software, patient experience management solutions, business intelligence software and/or robotic process automation software on a SaaS basis, but who do not utilize the Company’s revenue cycle management services. SaaS fees may be fixed based on the number of providers, or may be variable.
Our digital health services
include chronic care management, where a care manager has remote visits with patients with one or more chronic conditions under the supervision
of a physician who is our client. The performance obligation for chronic care management is satisfied at a point in time once the patient
receives the remote visit. The digital health services also include remote patient monitoring where our system monitors recordings from
FDA approved internet connected devices. These devices record patient trends and alert the physician to changes which might trigger the
need for additional follow-up visits. The performance obligations for remote patient monitoring are satisfied over time as the recordings
are received and the patient receives the remote visit. The revenue for chronic care management for the three months ended March 31, 2025
and 2024, was approximately $
18 |
The medical billing clearinghouse service takes claim information from customers, checks the claims for errors and sends this information electronically to insurance companies. The Company invoices customers on a monthly basis based on the number of claims submitted and the agreed-upon rate in the agreement. This service is provided to medical practices and providers to medical practices who are not revenue cycle management customers. The performance obligation is satisfied once the relevant submissions are completed.
Additional services such as coding and transcription are rendered in connection with the delivery of revenue cycle management and related medical services. The Company invoices customers monthly, based on the actual amount of services performed at the agreed-upon rate in the contract. These services are only offered to revenue cycle management customers. These services do not represent a material right because the services are optional to the customer and customers electing these services are charged the same price for those services as if they were on a standalone basis. Each individual coding or transcription transaction processed represents a performance obligation, which is satisfied over time as that individual service is rendered.
Professional services:
Our professional services
include an extensive set of services including EHR vendor-agnostic optimization and activation, project management, IT transformation
consulting, process improvement, training, education and staffing for large healthcare organizations including health systems and hospitals.
The performance obligation is satisfied over time using the input method. The revenue is recorded on a monthly basis as the professional
services are rendered. Unbilled revenue at March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $
Printing and mailing services:
The Company provides printing and mailing services for both revenue cycle management customers and a non-revenue cycle management customer, and invoices on a monthly basis based on the number of prints, the agreed-upon rate per print and the postage incurred. The performance obligation is satisfied once the printing and mailing is completed.
Group purchasing services:
The Company provides group purchasing services which enable medical providers to purchase various vaccines directly from selected pharmaceutical companies at a discounted price. Currently, there are approximately 4,000 medical providers who are members of the program. Revenue is recognized as the vaccine shipments are made to the medical providers. Fees from the pharmaceutical companies are paid either quarterly or annually and the Company adjusts its revenue accrual at the time of payment. The Company makes significant judgments regarding the variable consideration which we expect to be entitled to for the group purchasing services which includes the anticipated shipments to the members enrolled in the program, anticipated volumes of purchases made by the members, and the changes in the number of members. The amounts recorded are constrained by estimates of decreases in shipments and loss of members to avoid a significant revenue reversal in the subsequent period. The only performance obligation is to provide the pharmaceutical companies with the medical providers who want to become members in order to purchase vaccines. The performance obligation is satisfied once the medical provider agrees to purchase a specific quantity of vaccines and the medical provider’s information is forwarded to the vaccine suppliers. The Company records a contract asset for revenue earned and not paid as the ultimate payment is conditioned on achieving certain volume thresholds.
For all of the above revenue streams other than group purchasing services and chronic care management, revenue is recognized over time, which is typically one month or less, which closely matches the point in time that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. For the group purchasing services, revenue is recognized at a point in time. Each service is substantially the same and has the same periodic pattern of transfer to the customer. Each of the services provided above is considered a separate performance obligation.
There were no unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year. The Company has elected to utilize the practical expedient available with the guidance for contracts with an expected duration of one year or less.
19 |
Medical practice management services:
The Company also provides medical practice management services under long-term management service agreements to three medical practices. We provide the medical practices with the nurses, administrative support, facilities, supplies, equipment, marketing, RCM, accounting, and other non-clinical services needed to efficiently operate their practices. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided to the medical practices. Revenue recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations represents the reimbursement of costs paid by the Company for the practices and the management fee earned each month for managing the practice. The management fee is based on either a fixed fee or a percentage of the net operating income.
The Company assumes all financial risk for the performance of the managed medical practices. Revenue is impacted by the amount of the costs incurred by the practices and their operating income. The gross billing of the practices is impacted by billing rates, changes in current procedural terminology code reimbursement and collection trends which in turn impacts the management fee that the Company is entitled to. Billing rates are reviewed at least annually and adjusted based on current insurer reimbursement practices. The performance obligation is satisfied as the management services are provided.
Our contracts for medical practice management services have approximately an additional 13 years remaining and are only cancellable under very limited circumstances. The Company receives a management fee each month for managing the day-to-day business operations of each medical group as a fixed fee or a percentage payment of the net operating income which is included in revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Our medical practice management services obligations consist of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers. Revenue is recognized over time, however for reporting and convenience purposes, the management fee is computed at each month-end.
Information about contract balances:
As of March 31, 2025, the estimated revenue expected
to be recognized in the future related to the remaining revenue cycle management performance obligations outstanding was approximately
$
Amounts that we are entitled to collect under the applicable contract are recorded as accounts receivable. Invoicing is performed at the end of each month when the services have been provided. The contract asset includes our right to payment for services already transferred to a customer when the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. For example, contracts for revenue cycle management services where we recognize revenue over time but do not have a contractual right to payment until the customer receives payment of their claim from the insurance provider. The contract asset also includes the revenue accrued, not received, for the group purchasing services and referral fees earned.
Changes in the contract asset are recorded as adjustments to net revenue. The changes primarily result from providing services to revenue cycle management customers that result in additional consideration and are offset by our right to payment for services becoming unconditional and changes in the revenue accrued for the group purchasing services. The contract asset for our group purchasing services is reduced when we receive payments from vaccine manufacturers and is increased for revenue earned, not received. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, contract asset and deferred revenue are as follows:

Deferred commissions:
Our sales incentive
plans include commissions payable to employees and third parties at the time of initial contract execution that are capitalized as incremental
costs to obtain a contract. The capitalized commissions are amortized over the period the related services are transferred. As we do not
offer commissions on contract renewals, we have determined the amortization period to be the estimated client life, which is three years.
Deferred commissions were approximately $
Trade Accounts Receivable – Estimate of Credit Losses:
ASU 2016-13 requires the recognition of lifetime estimated credit losses expected to occur for trade accounts receivable. The guidance also requires we pool assets with similar risk characteristics and consider current economic conditions when estimating losses. At adoption, we segmented the accounts receivable population into pools based on their risk assessment. Risks related to trade accounts receivable are a customer’s inability to pay or bankruptcy. Each pool was defined by their internal credit assessment and business size. The pools are aligned with management’s review of financial performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no adjustment to the pools was necessary.
We utilize a loss-rate method to measure the expected credit loss for each pool. The loss rate is calculated using a three-year lookback period of write-offs and adjustments, divided by the revenue for each pool by aging category, net of customer payments during that period. We consider current and future economic conditions, internal forecasts, customer collection experience and credit memos issued during the current period when assessing loss rates. We reviewed these factors and concluded that no adjustments should be made to the historical loss rate data for the current quarter. In addition, the Company uses specific account identification in determining the total allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are written off only after the Company has exhausted all collection efforts.
Changes in the allowance for expected credit losses for trade accounts receivable are presented in the table below:

As of March 31, 2025,
shares of common stock and shares of Series B Preferred Stock are available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan. Permissible awards include incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, performance stock and cash-settled awards and other stock-based awards in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors including unrestricted stock grants.
Certain equity-based RSU agreements contain a provision in which the units shall immediately vest and become converted into common shares at the rate of one share per RSU, immediately after a change in control, as defined in the award agreement.

Common and preferred stock RSUs
In February 2023, the Compensation Committee approved executive bonuses to be paid in shares of Series B Preferred Stock, with the number of shares and the amount based on specified criteria being achieved during the year 2023. During October 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of of the above shares to one of the executives who retired. The remaining shares were forfeited in 2024.
In March 2024, the Compensation Committee approved executive bonuses to be paid in shares of Series B Preferred Stock with the number of RSUs granted based on employment agreements and the amount vested based on specified criteria being achieved during the year 2024. There were
RSUs granted. During May 2024, an additional executive bonus with similar terms was approved and shares were awarded. During December 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the award of these shares based on achievement of the specified criteria. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, an expense of approximately $ was recorded and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a net benefit of approximately $ was recorded due to prior year bonuses that had been accrued but were not awarded net of current year bonuses that have been accrued. Stock compensation expense recorded is based on the value of the shares at the grant date and recognized over the service period. The portion of the stock compensation expense to be used for the payment of withholding and payroll taxes is included in accrued compensation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balance of the stock compensation expense has been recorded as additional paid-in capital.

14. INCOME TAXES
The income tax expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 was approximately $
The current income tax provision for the three months
ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily relates to state minimum taxes and foreign income taxes. To the extent allowable, prior to January
1, 2024, the federal and state deferred tax provision had been offset by the indefinite life net operating loss. As a result of the goodwill
impairment charge recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023,
The Company has incurred cumulative losses, which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the federal and state deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
15. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market participant assumptions in the absence of observable market information. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair values of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgement associated with the inputs used to measure their value in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We held no Level 1 financial instruments at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets with inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Our Level 2 financial instruments include notes payable which are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged approximate market rates.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Our Level 3 instruments include the fair value of contingent consideration related to completed acquisition. The fair value at March 31, 2025 is based on discounted cash flow analysis reflecting the likelihood of achieving specified performance measure or events and captures the contractual nature of the contingencies, the passage of time and the associated discount rate. There was no contingent consideration recorded at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2024.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the contingent consideration measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

16. SEGMENT REPORTING
From January 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Executive Chairman served as the Chief Decision Maker (“CODM”), organizing the Company, managing resource allocations and measuring performance among two operating and reportable segments: (i) Healthcare IT and (ii) Medical Practice Management. As of May 1, 2024, the Company’s President, CEO and Executive Chairman served as the CODM. Effective January 1, 2025, the Executive Chairman and the two Co-CEOs serve as the CODM. We report our segment information based on the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments.
The CODM evaluates the financial performance of the business units on the basis of revenue, certain individual and total operating expenses and operating income (loss) excluding unallocated amounts, which are mainly corporate overhead costs, for assessing operating results and the allocation of resources. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information. The CODM uses segment revenue, certain segment operating expenses and segment operating income (loss) to manage the segments, comparing actual results to forecasted amounts and investigating the reasons for significant variances. Currently, a focus is being placed on reducing costs and managing global headcount. The segment revenue and segment operating income (loss) is also used to assess the performance of personnel and in establishing their compensation.
23 |
The Healthcare IT segment includes revenue cycle management, SaaS solutions and other services. The Medical Practice Management segment includes the management of three medical practices. Each segment is considered a reporting unit. The CODM evaluates the financial performance of the business units on the basis of revenue and direct operating costs excluding unallocated amounts that are mainly corporate overhead costs. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025.

Our offshore operations in the Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka together accounted for approximately 17% and 15% of total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A significant portion of those foreign expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 78% and 75% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan and Sri Lanka than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our offshore operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry participants. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions and leverage technology to reduce manual work and strategically transition a portion of the remaining manual tasks to our highly-specialized, cost-efficient team in the U.S., the Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka.
Key Performance Measures
We consider numerous factors in assessing our performance. Key performance measures used by management, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, are non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results from period to period.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, and we provide reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share provide an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that an investor’s understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these adjusted performance measures.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following elements which are included in GAAP net income (loss):
● | Income tax provision or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; | |
● | Interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on principal payments, on our debt; | |
● | Foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenditures; | |
● | Stock-based compensation expense (benefit) which includes cash-settled awards and the related taxes; | |
● | Depreciation and amortization charges; | |
● | Integration costs, such as severance amounts paid to employees from acquired businesses, and transaction costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees and exit costs related to contractual agreements; and | |
● | Restructuring costs. |

No tax effect has been provided in computing non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share as the Company has sufficient carry forward net operating losses to offset the applicable income taxes.

Key Metrics
In addition to the line items in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we regularly review the following metrics. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends in our business.
30 |
Providers and Practices Served: As of both March 31, 2025 and 2024, we provided services to an estimated universe of approximately 40,000 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 2,600 independent medical practices and hospitals. In addition, we served approximately 150 clients who were not medical practices, but are service organizations who serve the healthcare community. The foregoing numbers include clients leveraging any of our products or services and are based in part upon estimates in cases where the precise number of practices or providers is unknown.
Sources of Revenue
Revenue: We primarily derive our revenues from subscription-based technology-enabled business solutions, reported in our Healthcare IT segment, which are typically billed as a percentage of payments collected by our customers. This fee includes technology-enabled RCM, as well as the ability to use our EHR, practice management system and other software as part of the bundled fee. These solutions accounted for approximately 64% and 67% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other healthcare IT services, including printing and mailing operations, group purchasing and professional services, represented approximately 25% and 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We earned approximately 11% and 12% of our revenue from medical practice management services during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This revenue represents fees based on our actual costs plus a percentage of the operating profit and is reported in our Medical Practice Management segment.
Operating Expenses
Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating cost consists primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our customers, claims processing costs, costs to operate the three managed practices, including facility lease costs, supplies, insurance and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, commissions, travel and advertising expenses.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, facility lease costs, insurance, software license fees and outside professional fees.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, software expense and third-party contractor costs.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation expense is charged using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Amortization expense is charged on either an accelerated or on a straight-line basis over a period of three or four years for most intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions including those intangibles related to the group purchasing services. Amortization expense related to the value of our medical practice management clients is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of twelve years.
Restructuring Costs. Restructuring costs primarily consists of severance and separation costs associated with the optimization of the Company’s operations and profitability improvements.
Interest and Other Income (Expense) - net. Interest income represents interest earned on temporary cash investments and late fees from customers. Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our line of credit, term loans and the amortization of deferred financing costs. Other income (expense) - net results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains/(losses).
31 |
Income Taxes. In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred losses historically and there is uncertainty regarding future U.S. taxable income, which makes realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Report are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Capitalized Software Costs:
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of internally-developed capitalized software in use was $10.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively. The decrease was due to the amortization exceeding the amounts being capitalized.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, salary costs increased by $359,000 and medical supplies and vaccines costs decreased by $128,000. The increase in the salary costs primarily relates to professional services salaries due to the increased professional services revenue.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company capitalized approximately $846,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, of development costs in connection with its internal-use software. The increase in expense was primarily due to a shift in the nature of development activities, with fewer costs qualifying for capitalization as internal-use software, resulting in a greater portion of costs being recognized as operating expenses in the current period.
Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense of $561,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $58,000 or 12% from depreciation of $503,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Interest Income. Interest income of $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $15,000 from interest income of $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The interest income represents late fees from customers and interest earned on temporary cash investments, which increased due to additional funds being temporarily invested.
Interest Expense. Interest expense of $58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $307,000 from interest expense of $365,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense on the line of credit was $13,000 and $289,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other (Expense) Income – net. Other expense – net was $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to other income – net of $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Other expense or income primarily represents foreign currency transaction losses or gains. These transaction losses or gains result from revaluing intercompany accounts which are denominated in U.S. dollars that represent amounts payable/receivable between the entities. Whenever the exchange rate varies, the losses or gains are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Income Tax Provision. The provision for income taxes was $41,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the provision for income taxes of $39,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a result of the Company having certain net operating losses with an indefinite life under the federal and state tax rules, the federal and state deferred tax liability was offset against the net operating loss to the extent allowable in 2023. There were no deferred income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The current income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $41,000 represents state minimum taxes and foreign income taxes. The Company has incurred cumulative losses historically and there is uncertainty regarding future U.S. taxable income, which makes realization of a deferred tax losses difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against all deferred tax assets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had total cash of $6.8 million and net working capital of $11.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by operations was $5.1 million offset by cash used in investing and financing activities of $3.4 million resulting in an increase in cash of $1.7 million after accounting for the effect of $11,000 of exchange rate changes. As of March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the credit facility as compared to $9.0 million outstanding on the line of credit as of March 31, 2024.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded net income of $7.9 million compared to $48.7 million of net loss in fiscal year 2023. Management developed a plan that was substantially implemented during fiscal 2023 and 2024 to improve liquidity in its operations through reductions in payroll and operating expenses. The Company suspended its Preferred Stock dividends in December 2023, which was resumed in February 2025. Further cost reductions will continue throughout 2025.
Management continues to focus on the Company’s overall profitability, including managing expenses, and to the extent possible growing revenue, and expects that these efforts will continue to enhance our liquidity and financial position. Based on management’s forecasts, the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due for the next twelve months from the date of the financial statements’ issuance.
We have not been adversely affected by inflation as typically we receive a percentage of the fees our clients collect from our revenue cycle management services. Additionally, our medical practice management contracts are based on our costs plus a percentage of the medical practice’s operating income. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to minimize its effects through pricing strategies, productivity improvements and cost reductions. In the event of inflation, we believe that we will be able to pass on any price increases for fixed rate contracts to our customers, as the prices that we charge are not governed by long-term contracts. The interest rate on our line of credit is based on the prime rate which had been increasing through 2023, decreased slightly in 2024 and has remained consistent during 2025.
The Company has a revolving line of credit, and as of March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the credit facility. During October 2024, the credit line was reduced to $10 million at the Company’s request. The current unused borrowing base is $10 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Interim Chief Financial Officer, based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025 as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2025, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. We will continue to improve the controls to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and l5d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than a process improvement to our disclosure controls and procedures.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See discussion of legal proceedings in “Note 8, Commitments And Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I—Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 3, 2025, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or future results.
We Maintain Our Cash at Financial Institutions, Often in Balances That Exceed Federally Insured Limits.
The financial markets recently have encountered volatility associated with concerns about the balance sheets of banks, especially small and regional banks who may have significant losses associated with investments that make it difficult to fund demands to withdraw deposits and other liquidity needs. Although the federal government has announced measures to assist these banks and protect depositors, some banks have already been impacted and others may be materially and adversely impacted. Our business is dependent on bank relationships and we are proactively monitoring the financial health of such bank relationships. Continued strain on the banking system may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Not applicable.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
On December 11, 2023, the Board of Directors suspended the monthly cash dividends for Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock beginning with the payment scheduled for December 15, 2023 together with the remaining dividends that were declared. The suspension of these dividends deferred approximately $1.3 million in cash dividend payments each month. Effective in September 2024, due to a change in the dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock, the monthly cash dividends due were reduced to approximately $1.1 million per month. Due to the conversion of the majority of the Series A Preferred Stock in March 2025, the monthly cash dividend was further reduced to approximately $455,000 per month. During February 2025, the Company resumed payment of the dividends, paying one month of dividends in arrears each in February, March and April based on the oldest dividend amount outstanding. As a result of such suspension, as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has approximately $7.3 million of dividends in arrears. During this suspension, dividends continued to accumulate in arrears on the remaining Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. See discussion of preferred stock dividend suspension in “Note 11, Shareholders’ Equity” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report.
