Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A.:

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the financial statements of Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis of Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring and expected losses from operations, negative operating cash flows, and is projecting its cash outflows to exceed its cash on hand over the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases, as of January 1, 2022. The prior year financial statements have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC Topic 840. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Nature of Operations

 

Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A., doing business as Precision Pathology Services (the “Company” or “Precision Pathology”) is a privately held company organized in 1987 under the laws of the state of Texas. Precision Pathology provides anatomic and clinical pathology services for patients and their physicians. The Company is known for their exceptionally responsive and helpful service to the physicians and patients they serve.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company, with stockholders’ consent, has elected to be taxed as an “S Corporation” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state income tax law. As an S Corporation, the Company is generally not subject to corporate income taxes and the Company’s net income or loss is reported on the individual tax return of the stockholders of the Company. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes is reflected in the financial statements. The Company has not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service, and accordingly the business tax returns since 2020 are open to examination. Management has evaluated its tax positions and has concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that could require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements to comply with provisions set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s accounting policies that involve significant judgment and estimates include revenue recognition including contractual adjustments and discounts, patient fee receivables and the related allowance for contractual discounts and allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets, and estimates of useful lives for depreciation. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. As required by this standard, management’s evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued.

 

The Company’s assessment included the preparation of a detailed cash forecast that included all projected cash inflows and outflows. Although the Company continues to focus on growing its revenues, the Company’s ongoing operating expenditures will exceed the revenue it expects to receive for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Company has a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flows and expects these trends to continue. Our future plans may include cash flows generated from our revenues, issuance of debt, or sales of our equity securities.

 

The Company’s loss from operations before depreciation and amortization was ($326,590) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s cash, certificates of deposit and investments and net working capital at December 31, 2022, were $717,685 and $1,003,510, respectively. Based on the Company’s current expected level of operating expenditures and continued revenue projections, the Company does not believe its cash on hand is sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing operations for a period of a least twelve (12) months; therefore, the Company has concluded there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Despite a history of successfully implementing similar plans to alleviate adverse financial conditions, these sources of working capital are not currently assured, and consequently do not sufficiently mitigate the risks and uncertainties disclosed above. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash

 

The Company’s cash is held with one financial institution, and the account balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit at times. Accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had uninsured cash deposits of $107,470 and $957,341, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts to date. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

 

Investments held in MML Investors Services Account

 

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the assets held in the MML Investors Services Account (“MML Account”) were held in money market funds, which are invested in fixed income and equity securities with balances of $259,392 and $300,051, respectively. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in unrealized loss on investments in the accompanying statements of operations. Dividend income and short-term and long-term capital gains on these securities is included in investment income in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Certificates of Deposit

 

The Company invests its excess cash in bank certificates of deposit (“CDs”) which are fully insured by the FDIC with terms of not more than six months. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had certificates of deposit with balances of $100,823 and $100,722, respectively.

 

Patient Fees Receivable

 

Patient accounts receivable represents amounts due from patient services billed to commercial insurance companies, governmental payors, and patients. Receivables are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company estimates variable consideration for patient service fees using an expected value method. Accordingly, the Company has developed ratios for portfolios of payors based on the nature of the payor (e.g., commercial insurer, government program, uninsured patients), which impacts the average time to collect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled and the amount of such consideration. The Company has developed payment-to-charge ratio for each portfolio of payor based on historical payment experience and applied those ratios to gross charges for each year presented in order to arrive at the net patient fees receivable.

 

Other Receivables

 

Other receivables represent amounts billed for pathologist interpretations and medical director fees, which include the Company’s pathologists providing directorship for certain hospital facilities. Other receivables are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect. Management determines uncollectible amounts based on historical collection experience. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, management determined no allowance was necessary related to these receivables.

 

Property and Equipment, net

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets, the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, to test whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If an asset’s carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows (undiscounted and with interest charges), the Company records an impairment charge for the difference. The Company did not record impairment for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Useful lives of each asset class are as follows:

 

Asset Category   Useful Life
Computer equipment   5 years
Computer software   3 years
Equipment   5-7 years
Furniture and fixtures   5-7 years
Vehicles   5 years
Leasehold improvements   Lesser of lease term or useful life

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheet for current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

 

See Note 4 for additional information on assets measured at fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenues from providing pathology testing services to patients and other customers. Revenue from services is recognized upon the transfer of control, which is generally achieved when testing is completed and the results are delivered to a patient, a patient’s physician, or institutional customers such as independent laboratories, hospitals, or contract research organizations (“CRO”). The Company’s revenues fall into three separate streams: (a) patient service fees, (b) histology service fees, and (c) medical director fees.

 

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method with respect to all non-completed contracts. ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.

 

The new guidance is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or internal controls over financial reporting.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition by applying the following steps prescribed under ASC 606:

 

a. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

b. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

c. Determination of the transaction price;

d. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

e. Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

The Company collects patient service fees from patients and various third-party payors, mainly insurance companies and governmental payors. Patient service fees are earned from performing pathology lab services (procedures or tests), which may be requested by a patient directly or by a physician on a patient’s behalf. The Company also provides histology services to hospitals, CRO’s or independent laboratories. The Company’s services represent performance obligations transferred to the customer at the point in time when the test results are delivered, which is when the customer obtains the benefits of the service. Patient service fee revenue is variable given various factors that impact whether third-party payors ultimately pay the Company’s contractual billing rates. While third-party payor rates are known at inception of the contract, the payor has the ultimate discretion to adjudicate claims and decide on the final payment amount. There are various factors that allow third-party payors the right to deny all or part of a claim, which may not be known at inception of the contract. While the Company may appeal claim denials or adjustments, generally the Company offers some level of implicit price concession as part of these adjustments made by payors. Furthermore, patient service fees billed to uninsured patients is subject to variability for factors not known at inception. In contrast, the transaction price for histology services is generally fixed, as no third-party payors are involved, and therefore, the fees agreed upon upfront are the fees that the Company expects to collect for services performed.

 

The Company estimates variable consideration for patient service fees using an expected value method. Accordingly, the Company has developed ratios for portfolios of payors based on the nature of the payor (e.g., commercial insurer, government program, uninsured patients), which impacts the average time to collect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled and the amount of such consideration. The Company has developed payment-to-charge ratio for each portfolio of payor based on historical payment experience and applied those ratios to gross charges for each year presented. Variable consideration is constrained to the extent that it is deemed probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved, which is when an insurance claim is fully resolved.

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $2,802 and $2,764 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classifies its leases at commencement. Operating leases are presented as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation for lease payments in exchange for the ability to use the asset for the duration of the lease term.

 

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date and determined using the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company used a discount rate based on a benchmark approach as of January 1, 2022, the date of initial application of the new guidance, to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to discount remaining lease payments. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies of similar credit ratings and comparable quality and derived imputed rates for lease term lengths ranging from approximately 1.9 to 5.6 years. The lease term may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. In addition, the Company does not recognize short-term leases that have a term of twelve months or less as ROU assets or lease liabilities. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to account for as a single lease component when the payments are fixed. As such, variable lease payments, including those not dependent on an index or rate, such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and other costs that are subject to fluctuation from period to period are not included in lease measurement.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize leases on balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

 

In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05 (“ASU 2020-05”) which pushed back the effective date one year for private and not-for-profit entities that did not issue or serve as conduit bond obligors and had not yet adopted the standard. The new effective date was for fiscal year periods beginning after December 15, 2021.

 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2022, using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the year of adoption. In addition, the Company 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. Further, the Company adopted a short-term lease exception policy, permitting the Company to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e., leases with terms of 12 months or less) and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets. On January 1, 2022, the Company recorded lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for leases existing upon adoption of the new lease standard and other adjustments to the opening balance of right-of-use assets, if any. The adoption of ASC 842 did not result in a material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. See Note 7 for additional detail on the Company’s leasing arrangements.

 

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which amends the guidance for accounting for assets that are potentially subject to credit risk. The amendments affect contract assets, loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2018-19 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not yet evaluated the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the ASU and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

7. Leases

 

The Company has one operating lease for its real estate and office space and multiple finance leases for lab equipment in Texas. The operating lease has a remaining lease term of 4.58 years as of December 31, 2022. The Company has finance leases consisting of office and lab equipment with remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 0.9 to 5.0 years as of December 31, 2022, for which the Company has determined that it will use the equipment for a major part of its remaining economic life.

 

The lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company used a benchmark approach as of January 1, 2022, to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to discount remaining lease payments. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies of similar credit ratings and comparable quality and derived imputed rates ranging from 2.3% - 4.4% for lease term lengths ranging from approximately 1.9 to 5.6 years.

 

Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. There are no material residual guarantees associated with any of the Company’s leases, and there are no significant restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements. Certain leases include variable payments related to common area maintenance and property taxes, which are billed by the landlord, as is customary with these types of charges for office space. The Company has not entered into any lease arrangements with related parties, and the Company is not the sublessor in any arrangement.

 

The Company’s existing leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options. The Company has evaluated several factors in assessing whether there is reasonable certainty that the Company will exercise a contractual renewal option. For leases with renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, the Company included the renewal term in the total lease term used in calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2022, the Company accounted for operating lease transactions by recording lease expense on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease.

 

The components of lease expense, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense as of December 31, 2022 are as follows:

 

Components of total lease expense:  2022 
Amortization of ROU assets – finance lease  $445,055 
Interest on lease liabilities – finance lease   46,425 
Operating lease cost   119,510 
Total lease cost  $610,990

Operating leases:  2022 
Operating lease right-of-use assets  $494,900 
Operating lease liability, current   96,654
