NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Interim Financial Data
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of BioTelemetry, Inc.s (the Company or BioTelemetry) financial position as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
Net Loss
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260, Earnings Per Share. The following summarizes the potential outstanding common stock of the Company at September 30, 2013 and 2012:
|
|

|
Total |
|
32,216,182 |
|
30,712,229 |
|
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including stock options and warrants, as applicable.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

If the outstanding vested options or restricted stock units were exercised or converted into common stock, the result would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. financial institutions or in custodial accounts with U.S. financial institutions. Cash equivalents are defined as liquid investments and money market funds with maturity from date of purchase of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash and have minimal interest rate risk.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable related to the patient services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed. The Company records allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of the receivable using historical customer- specific data as well as current and historical cash collections.
Accounts receivable related to the product and research services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis, and considers several factors in its analysis including customer specific information and aging of the account.
The Company writes off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote and when the Company believes collection efforts have been fully exhausted and it does not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect. The Company performs write-offs on a monthly basis. The Company wrote off $6,769 and $8,479 of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. There was no impact on the net receivables reported on the balance sheets, or bad debt expense reported on the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012, as a result of these write-offs. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $5,861 and $9,066 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of the following:
|
|
September 30, |
|
December 31, |
| ||
Raw materials and supplies |

|
$ |
2,894 |
|
Inventories, which include purchased parts, materials, direct labor and applied manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by use of the first-in, first-out method.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In accordance with ASC 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or when events arise that could indicate that impairment exists. The provisions of ASC 350 require that the Company perform a two-step impairment test. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceeds the fair value of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded.
For the purpose of performing its goodwill impairment analysis, the Company considers its business to be comprised of three reporting units: patient services, products and research services. The Company calculates the fair value of the reporting units utilizing a weighting of the income and market approaches. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that includes assumptions for, among other things, forecasted income, cash flow, growth rates, income tax rates, expected tax benefits and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgment. The market approach utilizes the Companys market data as well as market data from publicly traded companies that are similar to the Company. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and the judgment applied in the analysis. The Company believes that the combination of an income and a market approach provides a reasonable basis to estimate the fair value of its reporting units.
Stock-Based Compensation
ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. ASC 718 requires that an entity measure the cost of equity-based service awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost of such awards over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). ASC 718 requires that an entity measure the cost of liability-based service awards based on current fair value that is re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. The Company accounts for equity awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.
The Companys income before and after income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, was reduced by $2,505 and $2,656, respectively, as a result of stock-based compensation expense incurred. The impact of stock-based compensation expense was $(0.10) and $(0.11) on basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
The Company estimates the fair value of its share-based awards to employees and directors using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the use of certain subjective assumptions. The most significant of these assumptions are the estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of the Companys stock and the expected term of the award. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company based the estimates of expected volatility on the historical average of our stock price. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based awards granted are expected to be outstanding. Other assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model include the risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate for periods pertaining to the contractual life of each option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield of a similar duration in effect at the time of grant. The Company has never paid, and does not expect to pay, dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock options granted using the following weighted average assumptions:

Based on the Companys historical experience of options that cancel before becoming fully vested, the Company has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 15% for all options. Under the true-up provision of ASC 718, the Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.
Based on the above assumptions, the per share weighted average fair value of the options granted under the stock option plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.59 and $1.58, respectively.

3. Income Taxes
The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the quarterly period in which they occur. The Company reviews and updates its estimated annual effective tax rate each quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Companys estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. The Company did not record an income tax provision or tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
As of September 30, 2013, in accordance with ASC 740, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, excluding a deferred tax liability recorded for indefinite lived intangibles of $678.

There has been no material change to the amount of unrecognized tax expense or benefit reported as of September 30, 2013.
4. Credit Agreement
On August 29, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (Credit Agreement) with MidCap Financial, LLC to provide revolving loan borrowings with a loan commitment of up to $15,000, with an option by the Company to increase to a maximum loan commitment of $30,000. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin of 4.75%. An unused line fee of 0.50% per annum is payable on any unused line balance, determined as the total loan commitment of $15,000 minus the average daily balance of the sum of the revolving loan borrowings outstanding during the preceding month. Furthermore, if the Company terminates the agreement at any point prior to the loan expiration date, the Company will incur a loan origination fee of 1.00% of the loan commitment due immediately preceding the termination. The Credit Agreement is secured by the Companys personal property, inventory and other assets and expires in August 2016. As of September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any outstanding balance on the credit agreement.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Companys actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this report and in the Companys other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See the Forward-Looking Statements section at the beginning of this report.
Company Background
BioTelemetry, Inc. (the Company, BioTelemetry, we or us), a Delaware corporation, was formerly known as CardioNet, Inc. CardioNet, Inc. was reorganized under a holding company structure with the new name BioTelemetry, Inc. effective July 31, 2013. On August 1, 2013, BioTelemetry, Inc. began trading on NASDAQ utilizing the same symbol as CardioNet, BEAT.
BioTelemetry provides cardiac monitoring services, cardiac monitoring device manufacturing, and centralized cardiac core laboratory services. Since the Company became focused on cardiac monitoring in 1999, the Company has developed a proprietary integrated patient management platform that incorporates a wireless data transmission network, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared algorithms and medical devices, and 24-hour digital monitoring service centers.
The Company operates under three segments: patient services, product and research services. The patient services segment is focused on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias, or heart rhythm disorders. The Company provides cardiologists and electrophysiologists who prefer to use a single source of arrhythmia monitoring services with a full spectrum of solutions, ranging from the differentiated MCOT service to event and Holter monitoring.
The product segment focuses on the manufacturing, engineering and development of noninvasive cardiac monitors for leading healthcare companies worldwide. The Company has been able to build successful OEM relationships by providing technology, reliability, quality products and engineering services. The Company offers contract engineering and manufacturing services, developing and producing devices to the specific requirements set by customers.
The research services segment is engaged in central core laboratory services that provide cardiac monitoring, scientific consulting and data management services for drug and medical treatment trials. The centralized services include electrocardiography (ECG), Holter monitoring, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), echocardiography (ECHO), multigated acquisition scan (MUGA), protocol development, expert reporting and statistical analysis. The Companys research services encompass a full range of services that include project coordination, setup and management, equipment rental, data transfer, processing, and analysis, 24/7 customer support and site training. The Companys data management systems enable complete customization for sponsors preferred data specifications and the Companys web service, CardioPortal, provides real time access to rich data from any web browser, without client-side plug-ins.
In August 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Cardiocore Lab, Inc. (Cardiocore). Cardiocore is a central core laboratory that provides cardiac monitoring services for drug and medical treatment trials. Cardiocores primary customers are pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations. The acquisition gives the Company access to industry expertise, an established operating structure and a substantial footprint in the core lab industry. Financial information related to Cardiocore is included in the Companys research services reporting segment.
Revenue Recognition
Patient Services
Patient services revenue includes revenue from MCOT, event, Holter and pacemaker monitoring services. The Company receives a significant portion of its revenue from third party commercial insurance organizations and governmental entities. It also receives reimbursement directly from patients through co-pays and self-pay arrangements. Billings for services reimbursed by contracted third party payors, including Medicare, are recorded as revenue net of contractual allowances. Adjustments to the estimated receipts, based on final settlement with third party payors, are recorded upon settlement. If the Company does not have sufficient historical information regarding collectability from a given payor to support revenue recognition at the time of service, revenue is recognized when cash is received. Unearned amounts are appropriately deferred until service is performed. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, revenue from Medicare as a percentage of the Companys total revenue was 35.5% and 38.6%, respectively.
Product
Product revenue includes revenue from product sales and repairs. The Companys product revenue is recognized at the time of sale.
Research Services
Research services revenue includes revenue for project management and core laboratory services. The Companys research services revenue is provided on a fee for services basis, and is recognized as the related services are performed. The Company also provides consulting services on a time and materials basis and this revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Site support revenue, consisting of equipment rentals and sales along with related supplies and logistics management, is recognized at the time of sale or over the rental period. Under a typical contract, customers pay a portion of the fee for these services upon contract execution as an upfront deposit, some of which is typically nonrefundable upon contract termination. Unearned revenues are deferred, and then recognized as the services are performed.
For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the revenue is allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices or managements best estimate of their selling prices, when vendor-specific or third-party evidence is unavailable.
The Company records reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including freight, as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Revenue generally is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to government authorities.
Patient Services Reimbursement
The Company is dependent on reimbursement for its patient services by government and commercial insurance payors. Medicare reimbursement rates for the Companys MCOTTM, event, Holter and pacemaker monitoring services have been established nationally by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and fluctuate periodically based on the annually published CMS rate table.
Commercial reimbursement pricing for the Companys services has declined over the past three years. Commercial pricing is affected by numerous factors, including the current Medicare reimbursement rates, competitive pressures, the ability to successfully negotiate favorable terms in agreements and the perceived value and effectiveness of the Companys services.
The Company has successfully secured contracts with most national and regional commercial payors for cardiac monitoring services. The majority of the remaining lives that are not covered are insured by a small number of commercial insurance companies that deem MCOTTM to be experimental in nature and do not currently reimburse for MCOTTM services provided to their beneficiaries.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable related to the patient services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed. The Company records allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of the receivable using historical customer-specific data as well as current and historical cash collections. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that these estimates could change, which could have a material impact on operations and cash flows
Accounts receivable related to the product and research services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis, and considers several factors in its analysis including customer specific information and aging of the account.
The Company will write-off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote, the receivables have been fully reserved, and when the Company believes collection efforts have been fully exhausted and it does not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect. The Company performs write-offs on a monthly basis. The Company wrote off $6.8 million and $8.5 million of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $5.9 million and $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Integration, Restructuring and Other Charges
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred a total of $6.8 million in integration, restructuring and other charges. The Company incurred other charges of $4.4 million relating primarily to legal fees for non-recurring patent litigation. In addition, the Company incurred $1.4 million of severance and employee related costs due to restructuring and integration related activities, $0.6 million of asset impairment charges related to the closure of a small monitoring center located in Michigan and $0.4 million of professional fees related to corporate restructuring activities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, The Company incurred a total of $1.7 million in integration, restructuring and other charges. $1.0 million was for legal fees related to non-recurring legal matters and the settlement of ongoing litigation. In addition, the Company incurred charges of $0.4 million of deal related costs due to the acquisition of Cardiocore and $0.3 million of severance.
Verizon Supplier Agreement
The Company established a relationship with Verizon, formerly nPhase, in May 2003. Verizon is the sole provider of wireless cellular data connectivity solutions, data hosting and queuing services for the Companys MCOTTM monitoring network. The Company has no fixed or minimum financial commitment as it relates to network usage or volume activity. However, if the Company fails to maintain an agreed-upon number of active cardiac monitoring devices on the Verizon network or it utilizes the monitoring and communications services of a provider other than Verizon, the Company may be subject to penalties and Verizon has the right to terminate its relationship with the Company. To date, no penalties have been incurred related to this agreement. The current agreement terminates in September 2014.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $31.9 million compared to $27.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $4.9 million, or 17.9%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in research services revenue of $3.8 million related to the acquisition of Cardiocore, a $1.0 million increase in patient services related to an increase in overall patient volume and a $0.1 million increase in product sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $19.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $2.8 million, or 17.3%, was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $2.0 million related to the research services segment resulting from the acquisition of Cardiocore, as well as a $1.3 million increase related to the patient services segment largely resulting from the higher revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 60.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 60.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This reduction in the overall gross profit percent is a result of a higher percentage of the Companys revenue being generated from the lower margin research business.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense was $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $1.0 million, or 12.4%, was due primarily to an increase in research services expense of $0.7 million related to the Cardiocore acquisition, as well as an increase of $0.3 million in other expense at the corporate level. As a percent of total revenue, general and administrative expense was 28.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 29.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense was $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $0.2 million, or 3.6%, was primarily related to the increase in research services expense of $0.4 million related to the Cardiocore acquisition, offset by a $0.2 million decrease in other expense. As a percent of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 23.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Bad Debt Expense. Bad debt expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease of $1.8 million, or 55.3%, was due to increased overall collections due to process improvements. The bad debt expense recorded was based upon an evaluation of historical collection experience of accounts receivable by payor class, the age of the receivables, as well as specific payor circumstances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a detailed discussion of our liquidity, contractual obligations and commitments. The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in that Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2013, the Companys principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents of $21.0 million and net accounts receivable of $18.2 million. In addition, the Company entered into a credit agreement in August 2012 providing the Company with access to borrowings of up to $15.0 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any outstanding balance on the credit agreement.
The Company generated $7.0 million of cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Companys ongoing operations during the nine month period resulted in a loss of $7.3 million, which included $12.0 million of non-cash items related to depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense.
The Company used $4.9 million for capital purchases, primarily related to the investment in medical devices in the patient and research services segments for use in its ongoing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
If the Company determines that it needs to raise additional capital, such capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its existing stockholders ownership will be diluted. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict the ability to operate its business.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Companys cash balance as of September 30, 2013 was $21.0 million. As the Company does not invest in any short-term or long-term securities, the Company believes there is no material exposure to interest rate risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

In evaluating an investment in BioTelemetry common stock, investors should consider carefully, among other things, the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as well as the information contained in this Quarterly Report and other reports and registration statements filed by the Company with the SEC. Material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 are discussed below.
Violation of federal and state laws regarding privacy and security of patient information may adversely affect our business, financial condition or operations.
The use and disclosure of certain health care information by health care providers and their business associates have come under increasing public scrutiny. Federal standards under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, establish rules concerning how individually-identifiable health information may be used, disclosed and protected. Historically, state law had governed confidentiality issues, and HIPAA preserves these laws to the extent they are more protective of a patients privacy or provide the patient with more access to his or her health information. Additionally, the more recent Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act and associated changes to HIPAA imposes additional requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. We must operate our business in a manner that complies with all applicable laws, both federal and state, and that does not jeopardize the ability of our customers to comply with all applicable laws. We believe that our operations are consistent with these legal standards. Nevertheless, these laws and regulations present risks for health care providers and their business associates that provide services to patients in multiple states. Because some of these laws and regulations are recent, and few have been interpreted by government regulators or courts, we may need to adjust our interpretations of these laws and regulations over time. If a challenge to our activities is successful, it could have an adverse effect on our operations, may require us to forego relationships with customers in certain states and may restrict the territory available to us to expand our business. In addition, even if our interpretations of HIPAA and other federal and state laws and regulations are correct, we could be held liable for unauthorized uses or disclosures of patient information as a result of inadequate systems and controls to protect this information or as a result of the theft of information by unauthorized computer programmers who penetrate our network security. Violation of these laws against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, we experienced the theft of two unencrypted laptop computers and as a result were required to provide notices under the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule. Although we have been in compliance with our obligations stemming from these incidents, there has yet to be an outcome to the ongoing investigation into the thefts by the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil rights. The Company is unable to predict what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the Office for Civil Rights or other governmental authorities as a result of this investigation or what impact, if any, the outcome of this matter might have on the Companys results of operations.
