Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Directors 

AeroCare Holdings, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of AeroCare Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AeroCare Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

 

 

 

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, as of January 1, 2019, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

AeroCare Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

(1) Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)Nature of Business and Ownership

 

AeroCare Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) provides oxygen, respiratory therapy services, medications, and home medical equipment to the home health care market. The Company has branches located in 28 states and is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The Company’s equipment and supplies are readily available and the Company is not dependent on a single supplier or a few suppliers.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:

 

(b)Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include AeroCare Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

(c)Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company maintains cash in demand deposit accounts with federally insured banks. At times, the balances in these accounts may be in excess of federally insured limits. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

(d)Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from insurance carriers, Medicare, Medicaid and individual customers, all of which are recorded at net realizable value. Due to the nature of the industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record accounts receivable at their net realizable values. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Such adjustments are typically identified and recorded at the point of cash application, claim denial, or account review. Included in accounts receivable are earned but unbilled receivables. Billing delays, ranging from several days to several weeks, can occur due to the Company’s policy of obtaining required payor-specific documentation prior to billing for its services rendered

 

The Company performs detailed analyses to evaluate the net realizable value of accounts receivable. Specifically, the Company considers historical collections data, accounts receivable aging trends, other operating trends, and relevant business conditions. Because of the continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, it is possible that the Company’s estimates could change, which could have an impact on operations and cash flows.

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

(e)Inventories

 

Inventories principally consist of respiratory equipment and patient billable supplies, which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out method.

 

(f)Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment acquired in business combinations are stated at fair value as of the date of acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which ranges from 13 months to 10 years. The useful lives for patient medical equipment correlate with the medical reimbursement periods. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major betterments are capitalized as additions to property and equipment. The cost of leasehold improvements on leased office and warehouse space is capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the applicable lease or the useful life of the improvement. Major overhauls of property and equipment that do not extend the corresponding useful lives are expensed as incurred.

 

(g)Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets to be held and used in operations for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated, undiscounted, future cash flows from the assets are less than the carrying value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. No impairment loss was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

(h)Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of acquired trade names, which are recognized at the estimated fair value when acquired. This intangible is being amortized over the estimated useful life of 2 years. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

 

(i)Goodwill

 

Goodwill is recognized as a result of a business combination when the price paid for the acquired business exceeds the estimated fair value of its identified net assets. The Company evaluates potential impairment of goodwill at least annually or more frequently if a triggering event is identified. If a triggering event were to occur, the Company will determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. When recoverability is unlikely, the Company calculates goodwill impairment as the amount the Company’s carrying value including goodwill exceeds its fair value. Management performed its annual impairment review of goodwill as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and concluded there was no impairment.

 

(j)Deferred Loan Costs

 

Deferred loan costs consist of costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing and are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related financing agreement. Deferred loan costs are included as an offset to notes payable and lines of credit on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(k)Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes have been provided for the differences between the financial reporting carrying values and the income tax reporting basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. These temporary differences consist of differences between the timing of the deduction of certain amounts between income tax and financial statement reporting purposes.

 

(l)Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company will recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if it is management's assessment that the position is "more likely than not" (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term "tax position" refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.

 

(m)Adoption of New Accounting Standard

 

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company's adoption of ASC 606 primarily impacts the presentation of revenues due to the inclusion of variable consideration in the form of implicit price concessions contained in certain of its contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, amounts estimated to be uncollectible are generally considered implicit price concessions that are a direct reduction to net revenue.

(n)Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenues for services and related products that the Company provides to patients for home medical equipment, related supplies, and other items. The Company’s revenues are recognized in the period in which services and related products are provided to customers and are recorded either at a point in time for the sale of supplies and disposables, which occurs upon delivery, and when applicable, setup and instruction to customers , or over the fixed monthly service period for equipment. Revenue from shipping and handling charges are not considered a separate deliverable and are recognized at the time the products are shipped or delivered, depending on the terms of the related agreement, and included in sales.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive from patients or under reimbursement arrangements with Medicare, Medicaid and third-party payors, in exchange for those goods and services.

 

The Company determines the transaction price based on contractually agreed-upon amounts or rates, adjusted for estimates of variable consideration, such as implicit price concessions. The Company utilizes the expected value method to determine the amount of variable consideration that should be included to arrive at the transaction price, using contractual agreements and historical reimbursement experience within each payor type. The Company applies constraint to the transaction price, such that net revenue is recorded only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in the future. If actual amounts of consideration ultimately received differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net revenue in the period such adjustments become known.

 

Sales revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenues for the sale of durable medical equipment and related supplies, including oxygen equipment, ventilators, wheelchairs, hospital beds and infusion pumps, are recognized at the time of delivery.

 

The Company provides certain equipment to patients which is reimbursed periodically in fixed monthly payments for as long as the patient is using the equipment and medical necessity continues (in certain cases, the fixed monthly payments are capped at a certain amount). The equipment provided to the patient is based upon medical necessity as documented by prescriptions and other documentation received from the patient’s physician. The patient generally does not negotiate or have input with respect to the manufacturer or model of the equipment prescribed by their physician and delivered by the Company. Once initial delivery of this equipment is made to the patient for initial setup, a monthly billing process is established based on the initial setup service date. The Company recognizes the fixed monthly revenue ratably over the service period as earned, less estimated adjustments, and defers revenue for the portion of the monthly bill that is unearned. No separate revenue is earned from the initial setup process. Included in fixed monthly revenue are unbilled amounts for which the revenue recognition criteria had been met as of period-end but were not yet billed to the payor. The estimate of net unbilled fixed monthly revenue recognized is based on historical trends and estimates of future collectability.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

The Company’s billing system contains payor-specific price tables to reflect the fee schedule amounts in effect or contractually agreed upon by various government and commercial payors for each item of equipment or supply provided to a customer. If the payment amount received differs from the net realizable amount, an adjustment is made to the net revenues in the period that these payment differences are determined. The Company reports revenues in its consolidated financial statements net of such adjustments.

 

Adoption of ASC 606

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. There was no cumulative effect on the opening balance of accumulated deficit as a result of adopting the standard as of January 1, 2019. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 606, while comparative information has not been revised and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

The Company’s adoption of ASC 606 primarily impacts the presentation of revenues due to the inclusion of variable consideration in the form of implicit price concessions contained in certain of its contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, amounts estimated to be uncollectible are generally considered implicit price concessions that are a direct reduction to net revenue. Prior to adoption of ASC 606, such amounts were classified as bad debt expense. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $4,562,000 of implicit price concessions as a direct reduction of net revenue that would have been recorded as bad debt expense prior to the adoption of ASC 606 compared to $8,599,972 recorded to bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 which is included in selling, general and administrative expense. The adoption of ASC 606 is not expected to have a material impact on net income or loss on an ongoing basis.

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities. The Company did not have contract assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company has elected a practical expedient to recognize incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts, which primarily represent sales commissions where the amortization period would be less than one year, as a selling expense when incurred in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets only when services have been provided. Since the Company has performed its obligation under the contract, it has unconditional rights to the consideration recorded as contract assets and therefore classifies those billed and unbilled contract assets as accounts receivable.

 

Under ASC 606, fixed monthly payments that the Company receives from customers in advance of providing services represent contract liabilities. Such payments primarily relate to patients who are billed monthly in advance and are recognized over the period as earned.   The Company had $11,334,309 and $9,160,342 in deferred revenue at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to its contracts with customers.

(o)Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation costs for stock options granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plan are required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant) with measurement based upon the fair value of the option on the grant date.

 

(p)Self-Insurance Obligations

 

The Company has a self-insured health care plan to provide medical and other health benefits to eligible employees and covered dependents. Reinsurance coverage is maintained through a commercial excess coverage policy.

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2019 and 2018, are amounts due from the Medicare and Medicaid programs which represents approximately 40% of total outstanding accounts receivable for both periods.

 

Revenue from the Medicare and Medicaid programs represent approximately 46% and 41% of the total for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

(r)Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company has not yet evaluated the future impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

(s)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and loss during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(t)Business Combinations

 

The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business acquisitions. The results of operations of the businesses acquired by the Company are included as of the respective acquisition date. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. To the extent the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. Patient relationships, medical records and patient lists are not reported as separate intangible assets due to the regulatory requirements and lack of contractual agreements but are part of goodwill. Customer related relationships are not reported as separate intangible assets but are part of goodwill as authorizing physicians are under no obligation to refer the Company’s services to their patients, who are free to change physicians and service providers at any time. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, for up to one year after the acquisition closing date if it obtains more information regarding asset valuations and liabilities assumed that existed but were not available at the acquisition date. Acquisition related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.

 

(u)Cost of net revenue

 

Cost of net revenue includes the cost of products and supplies sold to patients, patient equipment depreciation and other operating expenses.

 

(v)Selling, general and administrative expense

 

Distribution expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Such expense represents the cost incurred to coordinate and deliver products and supplies to the patients. Included in distribution expenses are leasing, maintenance, licensing and fuel costs for the vehicle fleet; occupancy costs (rent, utilities and property taxes), salaries and other costs related to drivers and dispatch personnel; and amounts paid to shipping vendors.

 

(w)Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current and long-term debt.

 

 

(2)Acquisitions

 

The Company made the following acquisitions to strengthen their current market share in existing markets or to expand into new markets. Each of the following acquisitions is included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective acquisition date. Goodwill generated from the acquisitions was recognized for the excess of the purchase price over tangible and identifiable intangible assets because of the expected contribution of each acquisition to the overall Company strategy. As a result of the acquisitions, $30,750,244 and $22,302,180 of the goodwill acquired during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The carrying value of the debt approximates the fair value.

 

The Company is also party to an additional line of credit with the bank holding the note payable. The line of credit is a working capital revolving line for advances up to $10,000,000. The line bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

The Company is required to maintain certain financial and reporting covenants under its debt agreements.

 

Amortization of deferred loan costs was $361,160 and $559,781 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Unamortized deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, were $1,829,537 and $1,761,511, respectively.

 

Subsequent to year-end, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $150,000,000 against a portion of its note payable. The interest rate swap requires the Company to pay a fixed annual interest rate and receive a floating interest rate based on the 1-month LIBOR rate.

 

Subsequent to year end, the Company amended the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and secured an additional $20,000,000 in term loan borrowings to protect against any shortfalls that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic as a precautionary measure.

In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, these preferred shares are reported as mezzanine equity based on the contingent redemption characteristics.

 

A summary of the rights, preferences, powers, privileges, and restrictions of the preferred stock is as follows:

 

Conversion Rights: Each preferred share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Series C original issue price ($5.53) by the Series C conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion. The Series C conversion price is initially $5.53. The initial Series C conversion price, and the rate at which shares of Series C preferred stock may be converted into shares of common stock are subject to certain adjustment provisions.

 

Dividends: From and after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series A, B, and C Preferred Stock, dividends at the per share rate of 8.0% of the Original Issue Price per annum shall accrue on the shares of Series A, B, and C Preferred Stock (the Accruing Dividends), which Accruing Dividends shall accrue from day to day and shall compound on an annual basis, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative; provided; however, that such Accruing Dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the board of the Company. At such time all outstanding Accruing Dividends have been paid in full, the Company may (if declared by the board of the Company) distribute dividends among the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each, determined on an as-if-converted basis (assuming full conversion of all such Preferred Stock) as of the record date with respect to the declaration of such dividends. On December 16, 2018 and September 29, 2019, the Company obtained waivers of this provision in the Stock Purchase Agreements to permit dividends to be issued to both the holders of Preferred Stock and holders of common stock, without payment of the Accruing Dividends. These were one-time waivers and were signed by the stockholders.

The following table for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, summarizes option activity:

 

           Weighted- 
           Average 
   Stock   Exercise   Exercise 
   Options   Price Range   Price 
Outstanding - December 31, 2017   4,800,000   $1.00 - 2.85   $2.42 
Granted   100,000    4.50    4.50 
Exercised   (125,000)   2.85    2.85 
Outstanding - December 31, 2018   4,775,000     1.00 - 2.85    2.42 
Granted   275,000    4.50    4.50 
Exercised   (375,000)   1.00    1.00 
Outstanding - December 31, 2019   4,675,000   $1.75 - 4.50   $2.69 

 

The Company recognized approximately $1,276,000 and $1,635,000 of stock compensation expense for stock options vesting during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was approximately $2,511,889 and $2,983,289 of unrecognized compensation costs expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.45 years and 2.58 years, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 6,449,785, remaining options available to be granted under the Plan.

 

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for employee and stockholder options:

 

   2019   2018 
Expected dividend yield   0.00%   0.00%
Risk-free interest rate   1.18%   1.18%
Expected life in years   10    10 
Fair value of common stock  $4.50   $4.50 
Exptected volatility   50%   50%

 

The dividend yield is based on the Company’s belief that they will not be declaring dividends over the expected life of the options granted. The risk-free interest rate over the expected term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grants. The expected life is based on management’s representation concerning the expected time to when options are expected to be exercised. Stock price volatility was estimated based on the estimated stock price volatility of a peer group of publicly traded entities over a similar term.

Differences between the expected tax (computed by applying the federal corporate income tax rate of 21% to income before income taxes) and actual tax expense for 2019 and 2018 consisted of:

 

   2019   2018 
Income Tax Expense Computed at the Statutory Federal Tax Rate  $7,228,665   $3,974,325

Nondeductible Expenses   10,577    7,935

Other   44,995   18,569 
Total Income Tax Provision (Benefit)  $4,000,857   $3,035,731 

 

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are presented below:

 

   2019   2018 
Deferred Tax Assets (Liabilities):          
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  $3,969,276   $2,369,729 
Property and Equipment   (21,339,797)   (15,402,806)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets   (10,453,410)   (8,542,208)
Net Operating Loss Carry Forward   10,993,979    8,354,666 
Stock-based Compensation   1,464,676    1,145,706 
Net Deferred Tax Liabilities  $(15,365,276)  $(12,074,913)

 

Deferred income taxes are determined based on the temporary difference between the financial statement book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The Company evaluated the realization of its deferred tax assets and, based on available evidence, including the expected reversal of its deferred tax liabilities, no valuation allowance was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2019 nor 2018.

 

The tax returns for the years before 2016 are no longer subject to examination by federal, state, and local authorities. The above net operating losses are a result of tax returns filed from years ended December 31, 2014 through the December 31, 2018, with an estimate for activity through December 31, 2019. The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2034. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $43,438,000 and $47,395,000 respectively.

 

(12)Commitments and Contingencies

 

(a)Health Care Industry

 

As a health care provider, the Company is subject to extensive government regulation, including numerous laws directed at preventing fraud and abuse and laws regulating reimbursement under various government programs. The marketing, billing, documenting, and other practices of health care companies are all subject to government scrutiny. To ensure compliance with Medicare and other regulations, regional carriers often conduct audits and request patient records and other documents to support claims submitted by the Company for payment of services rendered to customers. Similarly, government agencies periodically open investigations and obtain information from healthcare providers pursuant to legal process.

From time to time, the Company receives inquiries from various government agencies requesting customer records and other documents. It has been the Company’s policy to cooperate with all such requests for information.

However, the Company can give no assurance as to the duration or outcome of these inquiries.

(14)Subsequent Events

 

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through December 11, 2020, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

 

Subsequent to year-end, the World Health Organization declared the spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) a worldwide pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. Specific to the Company, COVID-19 may impact various parts of its 2020 operations and financial results, including, but not limited to, potential loss of revenue due to disruptions in the Company’s supply chain management. Management believes the Company is taking appropriate actions to mitigate the negative impact. However, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated as these events occurred subsequent to year-end and are still developing.

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the National Emergency Declaration, dated March 13, 2020, CMS made funds available to healthcare providers under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) legislation, and in April 2020, the Company received distributions from the CARES Act provider relief funds of $13,758,130 targeted to offset lost revenue and expenditures incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The provider relief funds are subject to certain restrictions and are subject to recoupment if not used for designated purposes. The Company is currently in the process of determining how much of the CARES Act provider relief funds it will be entitled to based on the terms and conditions of the program, including recent guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in October 2020.

 

On December 1, 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement and plan of merger with AdaptHealth Corp. for a total purchase price of $1.1 billion in cash and 31 million shares of AdaptHealth Corp. common stock. The transaction is expected to close in January 2021.

 

During the period January 1, 2020 through December 11, 2020, the Company has closed on an additional nine acquisitions for total consideration of $56,042,060. The Company has recorded $36,927,530 of additional goodwill and $19,114,530 in other working capital as a result of these acquisitions.

 

On December 9, 2020, the Company signed an agreement with it's bank to use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange an amendment to the Company's existing credit agreement. The amendment will permit a 364-day term loan in a principal amount of up to $150,000,0000, the proceeds of which will be used to finance, in part, a one-time distribution to shareholders of the Company. Terms and conditions of the amendment are expected to be consistent with the terms and conditions of the Company's current credit agreement.
