RADNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
RadNet, Inc. or RadNet (formerly Primedex Health Systems, Inc.), was
incorporated on October 21, 1985. Since our acquisition of Radiologix on
November 15, 2006, we have operated a group of regional networks comprised of
132 diagnostic imaging facilities located in seven states with operations
primarily in California, the Mid-Atlantic, the Treasure Coast area of Florida,
Kansas and the Finger Lakes (Rochester) and Hudson Valley areas of New York,
providing diagnostic imaging services including magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear
medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology, or X-ray, and
fluoroscopy. The Company's operations comprise a single segment for financial
reporting purposes.
The results of operations of Radiologix and its wholly owned
subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from
the date of acquisition. The consolidated financial statements also include the
accounts of Radnet Management, Inc., or RadNet Management, and Beverly Radiology
Medical Group III (BRMG), which is a professional corporation, all collectively
referred to as "us" or "we". The consolidated financial statements also include
Radnet Sub, Inc., Radnet Management I, Inc., Radnet Management II, Inc., SoCal
MR Site Management, Inc., and Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc. (DIS), all
wholly owned subsidiaries of RadNet Management.
Howard G. Berger, M.D. is our President and Chief Executive Officer, a
member of our Board of Directors and owns approximately 17% of our outstanding
common stock. Dr. Berger also owns, indirectly, 99% of the equity interests in
BRMG. BRMG provides all of the professional medical services at 52 of our
facilities located in California under a management agreement with us, and
contracts with various other independent physicians and physician groups to
provide the professional medical services at most of our other California
facilities. We obtain professional medical services from BRMG in California,
rather than provide such services directly or through subsidiaries, in order to
comply with California's prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine.
However, as a result of our close relationship with Dr. Berger and BRMG, we
believe that we are able to better ensure that medical service is provided at
our California facilities in a manner consistent with our needs and expectations
and those of our referring physicians, patients and payors than if we obtained
these services from unaffiliated physician groups. At eleven former Radiologix
centers in California and at all of the former Radiologix centers which are
located outside of California, we have entered into long-term contracts with
prominent radiology groups in the area to provide physician services at those
facilities. The operations of BRMG are consolidated with us as a result of the
contractual and operational relationship among, BRMG, Dr. Berger, and us. We are
considered to have a controlling financial interest in BRMG pursuant to the
guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 97-2 (EITF 97-2). Medical services
and supervision at most of our California imaging centers are provided through
BRMG and through other independent physicians and physician groups. BRMG is
consolidated with Pronet Imaging Medical Group, Inc. and Beverly Radiology
Medical Group, both of which are 99%-owned by Dr. Berger. RadNet provides
non-medical, technical and administrative services to BRMG for which it receives
a management fee.
Radiologix, our wholly-owned subsidiary, contracts with radiology
practices to provide professional services, including supervision and
interpretation of diagnostic imaging procedures, in its diagnostic imaging
centers. The radiology practices maintain full control over the provision of
professional radiological services. The contracted radiology practices generally
have outstanding physician and practice credentials and reputations; strong
competitive market positions; a broad sub-specialty mix of physicians; a history
of growth and potential for continued growth.
Radiologix enters into long-term agreements with radiology practice
groups (typically 40 years). Under these arrangements, in addition to obtaining
technical fees for the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision
of technical services, it provides management services and receives a fee based
on the practice group's professional revenue, including revenue derived outside
of its diagnostic imaging centers. Radiologix owns the diagnostic imaging assets
and, therefore, receives 100% of the technical reimbursements associated with
imaging procedures.
Radiologix has no financial controlling interest in the contracted
radiology practices, as defined in EITF 97-2; accordingly, we do not consolidate
the financial statements of those practices in our consolidated financial
statements.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes
8
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of
our management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 have been
made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year. These interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended October 31, 2006 and our transition report on Form 10-K/T for
the two months ended December 31, 2006.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation. These changes have no effect on net income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had a working capital balance of $38.1 million at June 30, 2007
compared to $31.2 million at December 31, 2006, and net income of $1.3 million
and a net loss of 3.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30,
2007, respectively. We also had a stockholders' deficit of $49.6 million at June
30, 2007 compared to $47.0 million at December 31, 2006.
We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that
requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations. In addition to
operations, we require significant amounts of capital for the initial start-up
and development expense of new diagnostic imaging facilities, the acquisition of
additional facilities and new diagnostic imaging equipment, and to service our
existing debt and contractual obligations. Because our cash flows from
operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we
have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with
third parties.
Our business strategy with regard to operations will focus on the
following:
o Maximizing performance at our existing facilities;
o Focusing on profitable contracting;
o Expanding MRI, CT and PET applications;
o Optimizing operating efficiencies; and
o Expanding our networks
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make
payments on our debt and other contractual obligations will depend on our future
financial performance. A range of economic, competitive, regulatory, legislative
and business factors, many of which are outside of our control, will affect our
financial performance. Taking these factors into account, including our
historical experience and our discussions with our lenders to date, although no
assurance can be given, we believe that through implementing our strategic plans
and continuing to restructure our financial obligations, we will obtain
sufficient cash to satisfy our obligations as they become due in the next twelve
months.
NOTE 2 - BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On November 15, 2006, we completed our acquisition of Radiologix, Inc.
as a stock purchase. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Radiologix
shareholders received aggregate consideration of 11,310,950 shares (or
22,621,900 shares before the one-for-two reverse stock split effected in late
November 2006) of our common stock and $42,950,000 in cash.
The total purchase price and the allocation of the estimated purchase
price discussed below are preliminary and have not been finalized. The
preliminary estimated total purchase price of the merger is as follows:
(IN THOUSANDS)
-----------------
Value of stock given by RadNet to Radiologix* $ 39,400
Cash 42,950
Estimated transaction fees and expenses** 15,208
-----------------
Total purchase price $ 97,558
=================
(*) Calculated as 11,310,950 shares multiplied by $3.48 (average closing price
of $1.74 from June 28, 2006 to July 13, 2006, adjusted for the one-for-two
reverse stock split).
(**) Includes $8,274,000 in assumed liabilities of Radiologix, including
$3,210,000 in merger and acquisition fees and $5,064,000 in Radiologix bond
prepayment penalties.
9
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase
price as shown above and determined by an external valuation expert is allocated
to Radiologix's net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair
values as of the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the
preliminary purchase price allocation at the date of acquisition.
(IN THOUSANDS)
--------------
Current assets $114,764

--------------
Total purchase price $ 97,558
==============
CASH, MARKETABLE SECURITIES, INVESTMENTS AND OTHER ASSETS: We valued
cash, marketable securities, investments and other assets at their respective
carrying amounts as we believe that these amounts approximated their current
fair values.
IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Identifiable intangible assets acquired
include management service agreements and covenants not to compete. Management
service agreements represent the underlying relationships and agreements with
certain professional radiology groups. Covenants not to compete are contracts
entered into with certain former members of management of Radiologix on the date
of acquisition.
Identifiable intangible assets consist of:
ESTIMATED
ESTIMATED AMORTIZATION ANNUAL
(IN THOUSANDS) FAIR VALUE PERIOD AMORTIZATION
-------------- --------------------------------------------------------
Management service agreements $ 57,880 25 years $ 2,315
Covenants not to compete 3,120 1 to 2 years 1,810
Estimated useful lives for the intangible assets were based on the
average contract terms, which are greater than the amortization period that will
be used for management contracts. Intangible assets are being amortized using
the straight-line method, considering the pattern in which the economic benefits
of the intangible assets are consumed.
GOODWILL: Approximately $42,321,000 has been allocated to goodwill.
This is an increase of approximately $4.3 million from our estimate at March 31,
2007 based on a further refinement of our purchase price allocation. This amount
may change when we finalize our estimate. The increase in Goodwill includes a
$148,000 decrease to net accounts receivable, a $182,000 decrease to other
current assets, a $3.5 million decrease to property and equipment and a $374,000
increase to accrued liabilities. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable
intangible assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be tested for
impairment at least annually. We perform this test annually on December 1. In
the event that management determines that the value of goodwill has become
impaired, we will incur an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during
the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made, which would normally be
the fourth quarter. Because this goodwill was established through a stock
purchase, no amount is deductible for tax purposes.
OPERATING LEASES: We assumed certain operating leases for both
equipment and facilities. All related historical deferred rent liabilities have
been eliminated. The establishment of any assets or liabilities associated with
the Company's assumption of these operating leases is contingent upon final
analysis from our external valuation experts.
10
NOTE 3 - FACILITY OPENINGS
In March 2007, we acquired the assets and business of Rockville Open
MRI, located in Rockville, Maryland, for $540,000 in cash and the assumption of
a capital lease of $1.1 million. The center provides MRI services. The center is
3,500 square feet with a monthly rental of approximately $8,400 per month.
Approximately $365,000 of goodwill was recorded with respect to this
transaction.
NOTE 4 - ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
("SAB No. 108"), "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB No. 108
specifies how the carryover or reversal of prior year unrecorded financial
statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year
misstatement. SAB No. 108 requires an approach that considers the amount by
which the current year Consolidated Statement of Operations is misstated
("rollover approach") and an approach that considers the cumulative amount by
which the current year Consolidated Balance Sheet is misstated ("iron curtain
approach").
Prior to the issuance of SAB No. 108, either the rollover or iron
curtain approach was acceptable for assessing the materiality of financial
statement misstatements. Prior to the Company's application of the guidance in
SAB No. 108, management used the rollover approach for quantifying financial
statement misstatements.
Initial application of SAB No. 108 allows registrants to elect not to
restate prior periods but to reflect the initial application in their annual
financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15,
2006. The cumulative effect of the initial application should be reported in the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that fiscal
year and the offsetting adjustment, net of tax, should be made to the opening
balance of retained earnings for that year. We elected to record the effects of
applying SAB No. 108 using the cumulative effect transition method. The
misstatement that has been corrected is described below.
Subsequent to the completion of the financial statement close process
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we determined that certain
lease rate escalation clauses had not been properly accounted for in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for the fiscal years ended October
31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 as well as for the two months ended December 31, 2006
(our transition period) and for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company
has been recording rent expense based on the contractual terms of the lease
agreements. We reviewed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (SFAS
No. 13) and its related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards
Board Technical Bulletin 85-3 "Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled
Rent Increases" (FTB 85-3), scheduled rent increases and rent holidays in an
operating lease should be recognized by the lessee on a straight-line basis over
the lease term unless another systematic and rational allocation is more
representative of the time pattern in which leased property is physically
employed. FTB 85-3 specifically states that scheduled rent increases designed to
reflect the anticipated effects of inflation is not a justification to support
not straight lining the lease cost over the lease term. Based on our review, we
have concluded that the straight-line method is required.
In accordance with the transition provisions of SAB No. 108, we
recorded a $3.4 million cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings and an
offsetting amount to long-term deferred rent as of January 1, 2007. In addition,
we recognized an additional $697,000 of facility rent expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 related to the application of the straight-line methodology
to certain leases with rent escalators.
Based on the nature of these adjustments and the totality of the
circumstance surrounding these adjustments, we have concluded that these
adjustments are immaterial to prior years' consolidated financial statements
under our previous method of assessing materiality, and therefore, have elected,
as permitted under the transition provisions of SAB No. 108, to reflect the
effect of these adjustments in opening liabilities as of January 1, 2007, with
the offsetting adjustment reflected as a cumulative effect adjustment to opening
retained earnings as of January 1, 2007.
In July 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 109"
("FIN 48"), and effective January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48. FIN 48 applies to
all "tax positions" accounted for under SFAS 109. FIN 48 refers to "tax
positions" as positions taken in a previously filed tax return or positions
expected to be taken in a future tax return which are reflected in measuring
current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the financial
statements. FIN 48 further clarifies a tax position to include, but not be
limited to, the following:
o an allocation or a shift of income between taxing
jurisdictions,
o the characterization of income or a decision to exclude
reporting taxable income in a tax return, or
11
o a decision to classify a transaction, entity, or other
position in a tax return as tax exempt.
FIN 48 clarifies that a tax benefit may be reflected in the financial
statements only if it is "more likely than not" that a company will be able to
sustain the tax return position, based on its technical merits. If a tax benefit
meets this criterion, it should be measured and recognized based on the largest
amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized.
This is a change from current practice, whereby companies may recognize a tax
benefit only if it is probable a tax position will be sustained.
FIN 48 also requires that we make qualitative and quantitative
disclosures, including a discussion of reasonably possible changes that might
occur in unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months; a description of
open tax years by major jurisdictions and a roll-forward of all unrecognized tax
benefits, presented as a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of
the unrecognized tax benefits on an aggregated basis.
We are subject to tax audits in several tax jurisdictions within the
U.S. and will remain subject to examination until the statute of limitations
expires for each respective tax jurisdiction. Tax audits by their very nature
are often complex and can require several years to complete. Information
relating to our tax examinations by jurisdiction is as follows:
o Federal -- we are subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by
tax authorities for the tax years ended 2003 to 2007
o State -- we are subject to state tax examinations by tax
authorities for the tax years ended 2002 to 2007
The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial
statements or disclosures. As of January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007 we did not
recognize any assets or liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits relative to
uncertain tax positions. We do not currently anticipate that any significant
increase or decrease to the gross unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded
during the next 12 months. Any interest or penalties resulting from examinations
will continue to be recognized as a component of the income tax provision;
however, since there are no unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax
positions taken, there is no accrued interest and penalties.
Additionally, the future utilization of the Company's net operating
loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to a
substantial annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that may have
occurred previously or that could occur in the future.

diluted earnings per share because their effect is antidilutive.
NOTE 7 - INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
We have eight unconsolidated joint ventures with ownership interests
ranging from 22% to 50%. These joint ventures represent partnerships with
hospitals, health systems or radiology practices and were formed for the purpose
of owning and operating diagnostic imaging centers. Professional services at the
joint venture diagnostic imaging centers are performed by contracted radiology
practices or a radiology practice that participates in the joint venture. Our
investment in these joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method.
Total assets at June 30, 2007 includes notes receivable from certain
unconsolidated joint ventures aggregating $495,000. Interest income related to
these notes receivable was approximately $28,000 and $58,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. We also received management
service fees of $1.2 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively, in connection with operating the centers underlying
these joint ventures.
The following table is a summary of key financial data for these joint
ventures as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (in thousands):

NOTE 8 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
We have three long-term incentive stock option plans. The 1992 plan has
not issued options since the adoption of the 2000 plan and the 2000 plan has not
issued options since the adoption of the 2006 plan. We reserved 1,000,000 shares
of common stock for grants of options under our 2006 plan. We have issued
non-qualified stock options from time to time in connection with acquisitions
and for other purposes and have also issued stock under the plans. Employee
stock options generally vest over three to five years and expire five to ten
years from date of grant.
13
As of June 30, 2007, 227,750, or approximately 99%, of all outstanding
stock options are fully vested. No options were granted during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007.
We have issued warrants under various types of arrangements to
employees, as well as to non-employees in conjunction with debt financing and in
exchange for outside services. All warrants are issued with an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
issuance. The warrants expire from five to seven years from the date of grant.
Warrants issued to employees can vest immediately or up to seven years. Vesting
terms are determined by the board of directors at the date of issuance. We
issued 1,450,000 warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2007. As of June
30, 2007, 3,831,667, or approximately 73%, of all the outstanding warrants are
fully vested.
As of November 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based
Payment," applying the modified prospective method. This Statement requires all
equity-based payments to employees, including grants of employee options, to be
recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings based on the grant date
fair value of the award. Under the modified prospective method, we are required
to record equity-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the
date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards
outstanding as of the date of adoption. The fair values of all options were
valued using a Black-Scholes model.
In anticipation of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we did not modify
the terms of any previously granted awards.
Mssrs. Linden, Hames and Stolper who hold the positions of Executive
Vice President and General Counsel, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, respectively,
were issued certain warrants in prior periods which fully vest upon the sooner
of their respective multi-year vesting schedules or at such time as the 30 day
average closing stock price of our shares in the public market in which it
trades equals or exceeds $6.00. For the 30 day trading period ended March 7,
2007, the average closing price exceeded $6.00 per share. Accordingly, these
warrants fully vested resulting in the full expensing of the remaining
unamortized fair value of these warrants of $1.7 million in the first quarter of
2007.
The compensation expense recognized for all equity-based awards is net
of estimated forfeitures and is recognized over the awards' service period. In
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107, we classified
equity-based compensation in operating expenses with the same line item as the
majority of the cash compensation paid to employees.
The following tables illustrate the impact of equity-based compensation
on reported amounts (in thousands):

=========
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total
pretax intrinsic value (the difference between our closing stock price on June
30, 2007 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money
options/warrants) that would have been received by the holder had all holders
exercised their options/warrants on June 30, 2007. Total intrinsic value of
options and warrants exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was
approximately $574,000. As of June 30, 2007, total unrecognized share-based
compensation expense related to non-vested employee awards was approximately
$4.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period
of approximately 3.7 years.
The fair value of each option/warrant granted is estimated on the grant
date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account as of
the grant date the exercise price and expected life of the option/warrant, the
current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected
dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the
option/warrant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options and
warrants granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $3.34 and $0.41
for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The following is the weighted average
data used to calculate the fair value:
Risk-free Expected Expected Expected
Interest Rate Life Volatility Dividends
------------- ---- ---------- ---------
June 30, 2007 4.57% 4.3 years 94.81% ---
June 30, 2006 4.71% 5.0 years 99.55% ---
We have determined the expected term assumption under the "Simplified
Method" as defined in SAB 107. The expected stock price volatility is based on
the historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on
the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant with an equivalent
remaining term. We have not paid dividends in the past and do not currently plan
to pay any dividends in the near future.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 2, 2007, we completed our previously announced acquisition of
the assets of Borg Imaging Group for $11.7 million in cash plus the assumption
of approximately $1.0 million of debt. Borg was the owner and operator of six
15
imaging centers, five of which are multimodality, offering a combination of MRI,
CT, X-ray, Mammography, Fluoroscopy and Ultrasound. After combining the Borg
centers with RadNet's existing centers in Rochester, New York, RadNet will have
a total of 11 imaging centers in Rochester.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS
-------------
OVERVIEW
Since our acquisition of Radiologix on November 15, 2006, we have
operated a group of regional networks comprised of 132 diagnostic imaging
facilities located in seven states with operations primarily in California, the
Mid-Atlantic, the Treasure Coast area of Florida, Kansas and the Finger Lakes
(Rochester) and Hudson Valley areas of New York, providing diagnostic imaging
services including MRI, CT, PET, nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound,
X-ray, and fluoroscopy. The Company's operations comprise a single segment for
financial reporting purposes.
The results of operations of Radiologix and its wholly owned
subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from
the date of acquisition. The consolidated financial statements also include the
accounts of RadNet, Inc., Radnet Management, Inc., or Radnet Management, and
BRMG, which is a professional corporation, all collectively referred to as "us"
or "we". The consolidated financial statements also include Radnet Sub, Inc.,
Radnet Management I, Inc., Radnet Management II, Inc., SoCal MR Site Management,
Inc., and Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc., or DIS, all wholly owned
subsidiaries of Radnet Management.
Howard G. Berger, M.D. is our President and Chief Executive Officer, a
member of our Board of Directors and owns approximately 17% of our outstanding
common stock. Dr. Berger also owns, indirectly, 99% of the equity interests in
BRMG. BRMG provides all of the professional medical services at 52 of our
facilities located in California under a management agreement with us, and
contracts with various other independent physicians and physician groups to
provide the professional medical services at most of our other California
facilities. We obtain professional medical services from BRMG in California,
rather than provide such services directly or through subsidiaries, in order to
comply with California's prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine.
However, as a result of our close relationship with Dr. Berger and BRMG, we
believe that we are able to better ensure that medical service is provided at
our California facilities in a manner consistent with our needs and expectations
and those of our referring physicians, patients and payors than if we obtained
these services from unaffiliated physician groups. At eleven former Radiologix
centers in California and at all of the former Radiologix centers which are
located outside of California, we have entered into long-term contracts with
prominent radiology groups in the area to provide physician services at those
facilities. The operations of BRMG are consolidated with us as a result of the
contractual and operational relationship among, BRMG, Dr. Berger, and us. We are
considered to have a controlling financial interest in BRMG pursuant to the
guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 97-2 (EITF 97-2). Medical services
and supervision at most of our California imaging centers are provided through
BRMG and through other independent physicians and physician groups. BRMG is
consolidated with Pronet Imaging Medical Group, Inc. and Beverly Radiology
Medical Group, both of which are 99%-owned by Dr. Berger. RadNet provides
non-medical, technical and administrative services to BRMG for which it receives
a management fee.
Radiologix, our wholly-owned subsidiary, contracts with radiology
practices to provide professional services, including supervision and
interpretation of diagnostic imaging procedures' performed in its diagnostic
imaging centers. The radiology practices maintain full control over the
provision of professional radiological services. The contracted radiology
practices generally have outstanding physician and practice credentials and
reputations; strong competitive market positions; a broad sub-specialty mix of
physicians; a history of growth and potential for continued growth.
Radiologix enters into long-term agreements with radiology practice
groups (typically 40 years). Under these arrangements, in addition to obtaining
technical fees for the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision
of technical services, it provides management services and receives a fee based
on the practice group's professional revenue, including revenue derived outside
of its diagnostic imaging centers. Radiologix owns the diagnostic imaging assets
and, therefore, receives 100% of the technical reimbursements associated with
imaging procedures.
Radiologix has no financial controlling interest in the contracted
radiology practices, as defined in EITF 97-2; accordingly, we do not consolidate
the financial statements of those practices in our consolidated financial
statements.
All of our facilities employ state-of-the-art equipment and technology
in modern, patient-friendly settings. Many of our facilities within a particular
region are interconnected and integrated through our advanced information
technology system. Ninety-five of our facilities are multi-modality sites,
16
offering various combinations of magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, computed
tomography, or CT, positron emission tomography, or PET, nuclear medicine,
mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology, or X-ray and fluoroscopy.
Thirty-seven of our facilities are single-modality sites, offering either X-ray
or MRI. Consistent with our regional network strategy, we locate our
single-modality facilities near multi-modality sites to help accommodate
overflow in targeted demographic areas.
At our facilities, we provide all of the equipment as well as all
non-medical operational, management, financial and administrative services
necessary to provide diagnostic imaging services. We give our facility managers
authority to run our facilities to meet the demands of local market conditions,
while our corporate structure provides economies of scale, corporate training
programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices
across our networks. Each of our facility managers is responsible for meeting
our standards of patient service, managing relationships with local physicians
and payors and maintaining profitability.
We derive substantially all of our revenue, directly or indirectly,
from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our
facilities.
ADOPTION OF THE PROVISIONS OF STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN NO. 108 ("SAB NO. 108")
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
("SAB No. 108"), "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB No. 108
specifies how the carryover or reversal of prior year unrecorded financial
statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year
misstatement. SAB No. 108 requires an approach that considers the amount by
which the current year Consolidated Statement of Operations is misstated
("rollover approach") and an approach that considers the cumulative amount by
which the current year Consolidated Balance Sheet is misstated ("iron curtain
approach").
Prior to the issuance of SAB No. 108, either the rollover or iron
curtain approach was acceptable for assessing the materiality of financial
statement misstatements. Prior to the Company's application of the guidance in
SAB No. 108, management used the rollover approach for quantifying financial
statement misstatements.
Initial application of SAB No. 108 allows registrants to elect not to
restate prior periods but to reflect the initial application in their annual
financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15,
2006. The cumulative effect of the initial application should be reported in the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that fiscal
year and the offsetting adjustment, net of tax, should be made to the opening
balance of retained earnings for that year. We elected to record the effects of
applying SAB No. 108 using the cumulative effect transition method. The
misstatement that has been corrected is described below.
Subsequent to the completion of the financial statement close process
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we determined that certain
lease rate escalation clauses had not been properly accounted for in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for the fiscal years ended October
31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 as well as for the two months ended December 31, 2006
(our transition period) and for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company
has been recording rent expense based on the contractual terms of the lease
agreements. We reviewed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 (SFAS
No. 13) and its related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards
Board Technical Bulletin 85-3 "Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled
Rent Increases" (FTB 85-3), scheduled rent increases and rent holidays in an
operating lease should be recognized by the lessee on a straight-line basis over
the lease term unless another systematic and rational allocation is more
representative of the time pattern in which leased property is physically
employed. FTB 85-3 specifically states that scheduled rent increases designed to
reflect the anticipated effects of inflation is not a justification to support
not straight lining the lease cost over the lease term. Based on our review, we
have concluded that the straight-line method is required.
In accordance with the transition provisions of SAB No. 108, we
recorded a $3.4 million cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings and an
offsetting amount to long-term deferred rent as of January 1, 2007. In addition,
we recognized an additional $697,000 of facility rent expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 related to the application of the straight-line methodology
to certain leases with rent escalators.
Based on the nature of these adjustments and the totality of the
circumstance surrounding these adjustments, we have concluded that these
adjustments are immaterial to prior years' consolidated financial statements
under our previous method of assessing materiality, and therefore, have elected,
as permitted under the transition provisions of SAB No. 108, to reflect the
effect of these adjustments in opening liabilities as of January 1, 2007, with
the offsetting adjustment reflected as a cumulative effect adjustment to opening
retained earnings as of January 1, 2007.
17
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations are based on our consolidated financial statements that were prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
Management makes estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements.
These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including:
o Our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our
consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial
statements;
o Our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
dates of the financial statements; and
o Our reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in our
consolidated statements of operations during the reporting
periods.
These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that
are difficult to predict and are beyond management's control. As a result,
actual amounts could materially differ from these estimates.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), defines critical
accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a
company's financial condition and results of operations and require management's
most difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to
make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may
change in subsequent periods.
As of the period covered in this report, there have been no material
changes to the critical accounting estimates we use, and have explained, in both
our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 and
our transition report on Form 10-K/T for the two months ended December 31, 2006.

of Radiologix, effective November 15, 2006, was $65.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007. Net revenue excluding Radiologix
increased $700,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 when
compared to the same period last year. This increase is net of the
effects of reimbursement reductions experienced as a result of the
government's reduction of certain Medicare payments (DRA), which became
effective in January 2007.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased
approximately $49.1 million, or 163.8%, from $30.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2006 to $79.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007. The following table sets forth our operating
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in
thousands):

Depreciation and amortization $ 10,440 $ 4,051
Provision for bad debts 6,861 1,850
Loss on sale of equipment, net 4 82
Severance costs 247 ----
SALARIES AND PROFESSIONAL READING FEES (EXCLUDING STOCK COMPENSATION
AND SEVERANCE)
Salaries and professional reading fees increased $22.1 million, or
118.0%, to $40.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, salaries and professional
reading fees were $20.1 million for Radiologix. Salaries excluding
Radiologix increased $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007 when compared to the same period last year.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Stock compensation increased $270,000 to $382,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $112,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to additional warrants
granted during the last six months of 2006 and the first six months of
2007 as well as the acceleration of vesting of a warrant to a key
employee resulting in additional stock compensation of $135,000.
SEVERANCE
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded severance
costs of $247,000 associated with the integration of Radiologix.
BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Building and equipment rental expenses increased $7.9 million, or
368.5%, to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, building and equipment
rental expense was $7.1 million for Radiologix. Building and equipment
rental expenses excluding Radiologix increased $800,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 when compared to the same period last year.
The increase was due to normal consumer price index escalations built
into the operating leases, and the increase in equipment rental was
primarily due to the cost of renting mobile MRI equipment while repairs
were in progress at our Orange, California, facility. Also included in
this increase is our adjustment to building lease expense of $335,000
resulting from straight-lining the built-in rent escalators existing in
some of our lease contracts.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses include billing fees, medical
supplies, office supplies, repairs and maintenance, insurance, business
tax and license, outside services, utilities, marketing, travel and
other expenses. Many of these expenses are variable in nature including
medical supplies and billing fees, which increase with volume and
repairs and maintenance under our GE service agreement at 3.62% of net
revenue for the three-month period. Overall, general and administrative
expenses increased $18.8 million, or 209.2%, for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the previous period. During the three months
ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative expenses were $15.4
million for Radiologix. General and administrative expenses excluding
Radiologix increased $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007 when compared to the same period last year. The increase was
primarily due to increased expenditures for accounting fees, costs
related to repairs at our Orange, California, facility, and employee
and marketing expenditures at year-end.
20
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased $6.4 million, or 157.7%, to
$10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 when compared to
the same period last year. During the three months ended June 30, 2007,
depreciation and amortization expense was $5.4 million for Radiologix,
which includes $1.0 million of amortization of intangible assets
associated with the fair value of management service agreements and
covenants not to compete. Depreciation and amortization expense
excluding Radiologix increased $1.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 when compared to the same period last year. The increase
is primarily due to property and equipment additions as well as the
acceleration of the amortization of leasehold improvements related to
our vacated Rancho Bernardo facility of approximately $467,000.
PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS
Provision for bad debts increased $5.0 million, or 270.9%, to $6.9
million, or 6.4% of net revenue, for the three months ended June 30,
2007 compared to $1.9 million, or 4.6% of net revenue, for the three
months ended June 30, 2006. During the three months ended June 30,
2007, the provision for bad debts was $5.2 million, or 7.9% of net
revenue, for Radiologix. Historically, Radiologix has experienced
higher bad debt expense as compared to our business pre-acquisition due
to the higher concentration of business associated with hospital payers
in the markets that Radiologix serves and the poor collection
percentages that are inherent with hospital business. Provision for bad
debts excluding Radiologix decreased $200,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 when compared to the same period last year.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased
approximately $4.9 million, or 97.0%, from the same period in 2006. The increase
was primarily due to the increased indebtedness of $360.0 million incurred upon
the acquisition of Radiologix as well as the amortization of our deferred
finance costs associated with this new financing which were $461,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 offset by realized gains on our fair value
hedges of $695,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
MINORITY INTEREST IN INCOME OF SUBSIDIARIES
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $170,000 in
minority interest expense related to consolidated joint ventures of Radiologix.
EQUITY IN EARNINGS FROM UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized equity in
earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $982,000, including $958,000 from
investments of Radiologix and $24,000 from an investment in a PET center in Palm
Desert, California.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
NET REVENUE
Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $212.8 million
compared to $80.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an
increase of $132.8 million, or 166.0%. Net revenue from the acquisition
of Radiologix, effective November 15, 2006, was $130.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007. Net revenue excluding Radiologix
increased $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 when
compared to the same period last year. This increase is net of the
effects of reimbursement reductions experienced as a result of the DRA,
which became effective in January 2007.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased
approximately $101.1 million, or 168.9%, from $59.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 to $160.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The following table sets forth our operating expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

SALARIES AND PROFESSIONAL READING FEES (EXCLUDING STOCK COMPENSATION
AND SEVERANCE)
Salaries and professional reading fees increased $48.3 million, or
129.2%, to $85.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $37.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, salaries and professional
reading fees were $43.8 million for Radiologix. Salaries excluding
Radiologix increased $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007 when compared to the same period last year, which is in line with
DRA effected increases in net revenue and increases in our procedure
volumes.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Stock compensation increased $2.3 million to $2.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $276,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to $1.8 million of
additional stock based compensation expense recorded during the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the vesting of warrants.
Messrs. Linden, Hames and Stolper who hold the positions of Executive
Vice President and General Counsel, Executive Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, respectively, were issued certain warrants in prior periods
which fully vest upon the sooner of their respective multi-year vesting
schedules or at such time as the 30 day average closing stock price of
our shares in the public market in which it trades equals or exceeds
$6.00. For the 30 day trading period ended March 7, 2007, the average
closing price exceeded $6.00 per share. Accordingly, these warrants
fully vested resulting in the full expensing of the remaining
unamortized fair value of these warrants of $1.7 million.
SEVERANCE
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded severance costs
of $785,000 associated with the integration of Radiologix.
BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Building and equipment rental expenses increased $15.9 million, or
374.5%, to $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. During
the six months ended June 30, 2007, building and equipment rental
expense was $14.4 million for Radiologix. Building and equipment rental
expenses excluding Radiologix increased $1.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 when compared to the same period in the previous
year. The increase was due to normal consumer price index escalations
built into the operating leases, and the increase in equipment rental
was primarily due to the costs of renting mobile MRI equipment while
repairs were being done at our Orange, California, facility. Also
included in this increase is $697,000 resulting from straight-lining
the built-in rent escalators existing in some of our lease contracts.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses include billing fees, medical
supplies, office supplies, repairs and maintenance, insurance, business
tax and license, outside services, utilities, marketing, travel and
22
other expenses. Many of these expenses are variable in nature,
including medical supplies and billing fees, which increase with volume
and repairs, and maintenance under our GE service agreement at 3.62% of
net revenue for the three-month period. Overall, general and
administrative expenses increased $34.5 million, or 192.1%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the previous period. During the
six months ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative expenses
were $31.0 million for Radiologix. General and administrative expenses
excluding Radiologix increased $3.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 when compared to the same period last year. The increase
was primarily due to increased expenditures for accounting fees, costs
related to repairs at our Orange, California, facility, and employee
and marketing expenditures at year-end.
NASDAQ ONE-TIME LISTING FEE
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $120,000 for
fees associated with listing our common stock with NASDAQ.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased $13.0 million, or 161.8%, to
$21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 when compared to
the same period last year. During the six months ended June 30, 2007,
depreciation and amortization expense was $11.6 million for Radiologix,
which includes $1.0 million of amortization of intangible assets
associated with the fair value of management service agreements and
covenants not to compete. Depreciation and amortization expense
excluding Radiologix increased $1.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 when compared to the same period last year primarily due
to property and equipment additions, as well as the acceleration of the
amortization of leasehold improvements related to our vacated Rancho
Bernardo facility of approximately $467,000.
PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS
Provision for bad debt increased $11.1 million, or 137.7%, to $14.4
million, or 6.8% of net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $3.3 million, or 4.2% of net revenue, for the six months
ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the
provision for bad debts was $10.7 million, or 8.2% of net revenue, for
Radiologix. Historically, Radiologix has experienced higher bad debts
as compared to our business pre-acquisition due to the higher
concentration of business associated with hospital payers in the
markets that Radiologix serves and the poor collection percentages that
are inherent with hospital business. Provision for bad debts excluding
Radiologix increased $400,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007
when compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily
due to increased write-offs due to billing issues related to untimely
filing, and incomplete or incorrect demographic information collected
at the sites.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased
approximately $11.4 million, or 121.4%, from the same period in 2006. The
increase was primarily due to the increased indebtedness of $360.0 million
incurred upon the acquisition of Radiologix as well as the amortization of our
deferred finance costs associated with this new financing which were $930,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2007, offset by realized gains on our fair
value hedges of $557,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
LOSS ON DEBT EXTINGUISHMENTS, NET
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a loss on debt
extinguishments of $2.1 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized equity in
earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $2.0 million including $1,952,000
from investments of Radiologix and $48,000 from an investment in a PET center in
Palm Desert, California.
23
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On November 15, 2006, we entered into a $405 million senior secured
credit facility with GE Commercial Finance Healthcare Financial Services (the
"November 2006 Credit Facility"). This facility was used to finance our
acquisition of Radiologix, refinance existing indebtedness, pay transaction
costs and expenses relating to our acquisition of Radiologix, and to provide
financing for working capital needs post-acquisition. The facility consists of a
revolving credit facility of up to $45 million, a $225 million term loan and a
$135 million second lien term loan. The revolving credit facility has a term of
five years, the term loan has a term of six years and the second lien term loan
has a term of six and one-half years. Interest is payable on all loans initially
at an Index Rate plus the Applicable Index Margin, as defined. The Index Rate is
initially a floating rate equal to the higher of the rate quoted from time to
time by The Wall Street Journal as the "base rate on corporate loans posted by
at least 75% of the nation's largest 30 banks" or the Federal Funds Rate plus 50
basis points. The Applicable Index Margin on each of the revolving credit
facility and the term loan is 2% and on the second lien term loan is 6%. We may
request that the interest rate instead be based on LIBOR plus the Applicable
LIBOR Margin, which is 3.5% for the revolving credit facility and the term loan
and 7.5% for the second lien term loan. The credit facility includes customary
covenants for a facility of this type, including minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio, maximum total leverage ratio, maximum senior leverage ratio, limitations
on indebtedness, contingent obligations, liens, capital expenditures, lease
obligations, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, dividends and distributions,
redemption or repurchase of equity interests, subordinated debt payments and
modifications, loans and investments, transactions with affiliates, changes of
control, and payment of consulting and management fees.
As part of the financing, we swapped 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of the facilities to a floating rate within 90 days of the closing. On
April 11, 2006, effective April 28, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap
on $73.0 million fixing the LIBOR rate of interest at 5.47% for a period of
three years. This swap was made in conjunction with the $161.0 million credit
facility that closed on March 9, 2006. In addition, on November 15, 2006, we
entered into an interest rate swap on $107.0 million fixing the LIBOR rate of
interest at 5.02% for a period of three years, and on November 28, 2006, we
entered into an interest rate swap on $90.0 million fixing the LIBOR rate of
interest at 5.03% for a period of three years. Previously, the interest rate on
the above $270.0 million portion of the credit facility was based upon a spread
over LIBOR which floats with market conditions.
The Company documents its risk management strategy and hedge
effectiveness at the inception of the hedge, and, unless the instrument
qualifies for the short-cut method of hedge accounting, over the term of each
hedging relationship. The Company's use of derivative financial instruments is
limited to interest rate swaps, the purpose of which is to hedge the cash flows
of variable-rate indebtedness. The Company does not hold or issue derivative
financial instruments for speculative purposes. In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, derivatives that have been designated
and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments are reported at fair value. The
gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge (i.e., change in fair value)
is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the
Company's Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity. The remaining gain or
loss, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. Of the derivatives that were
not designated as cash flow hedging instruments, we recorded a decrease to
interest expense of approximately $557,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The corresponding liability of $153,000 is included in the other
non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007. This
liability was $710,000 at December 31, 2006.
We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that
requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations. In addition to
operations, we require significant amounts of capital for the initial start-up
and development expense of new diagnostic imaging facilities, the acquisition of
additional facilities and new diagnostic imaging equipment, and to service our
existing debt and contractual obligations. Because our cash flows from
operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we
have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with
third parties.
Our business strategy with regard to operations will focus on the
following:
o Maximizing performance at our existing facilities;
o Focusing on profitable contracting;
o Expanding MRI, CT and PET applications;
o Optimizing operating efficiencies; and
o Expanding our networks
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make
payments on our debt and other contractual obligations will depend on our future
financial performance. A range of economic, competitive, regulatory, legislative
and business factors, many of which are outside of our control, will affect our
24
financial performance. Taking these factors into account, including our
historical experience and our discussions with our lenders to date, although no
assurance can be given, we believe that through implementing our strategic plans
and continuing to restructure our financial obligations, we will obtain
sufficient cash to satisfy our obligations as they become due in the next twelve
months.
SOURCES AND USES OF CASH
Cash decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $18,000
from $3.2 million at December 31, 2006.
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2007 was $11.8 million compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2006.
Cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2007 was $11.8 million compared to cash used of $5.0 million for the same period
in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we purchased property
and equipment for approximately $12.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded the purchase of a
covenant not to compete contract for $250,000, which we recorded to other
intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet. Also, during the six months
ended June 30, 2007, we paid cash of $540,000 for the purchase of an additional
imaging facility, and generated $1.3 million of cash from the sale of one of our
imaging facilities acquired through our purchase of Radiologix.
Cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2007 was $3.2 million compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2006. The
primary use of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was related to the
increase in our disbursements in transit of $2.6 million, payments on notes and
capital leases payable of $3.7 million, offset by $437,000 of cash generated
from the issuance of our common stock through the exercise of options and
warrants.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION
FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES, which permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain warranty and insurance
contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. SFAS No. 159 is
effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for calendar year-end companies). Management
has not determined the effect the adoption of this statement will have on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
These forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, management's
current expectations and anticipated results of operations, all of which are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Therefore, any statements contained herein that are not statements
of historical fact may be forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as
such. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates,"
"plans," "intends," "will," "expects," "should" and similar words and
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Except as
required under the federal securities laws or by the rules and regulations of
the SEC, we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking information
to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such
forward-looking information. The factors included in "Risks Relating to Our
Business," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October
31, 2006 and our Transition Report on Form 10-K/T for the two month transition
period ended December 31, 2006, among others, could cause our actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking
statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We sell our services exclusively in the United States and receive
payment for our services exclusively in United States dollars. As a result, our
financial results are unlikely to be affected by factors such as changes in
foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.
A large portion of our interest expense is not sensitive to changes in
the general level of interest in the United States because the majority of our
indebtedness has interest rates that were fixed when we entered into the note
payable or capital lease obligation. On November 15, 2006, we entered into a
$405 million senior secured credit facility with GE Commercial Finance
Healthcare Financial Services. This facility was used to finance our acquisition
25
of Radiologix, refinance existing indebtedness, pay transaction costs and
expenses relating to our acquisition of Radiologix, and to provide financing for
working capital needs post-acquisition. The facility consists of a revolving
credit facility of up to $45 million, a $225 million term loan and a $135
million second lien term loan. The revolving credit facility has a term of five
years, the term loan has a term of six years and the second lien term loan has a
term of six and one-half years. Interest is payable on all loans initially at an
Index Rate plus the Applicable Index Margin, as defined. The Index Rate is
initially a floating rate equal to the higher of the rate quoted from time to
time by The Wall Street Journal as the "base rate on corporate loans posted by
at least 75% of the nation's largest 30 banks" or the Federal Funds Rate plus 50
basis points. The Applicable Index Margin on each the revolving credit facility
and the term loan is 2% and on the second lien term loan is 6%. We may request
that the interest rate instead be based on LIBOR plus the Applicable LIBOR
Margin, which is 3.5% for the revolving credit facility and the term loan and
7.5% for the second lien term loan. The credit facility includes customary
covenants for a facility of this type, including minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio, maximum total leverage ratio, maximum senior leverage ratio, limitations
on indebtedness, contingent obligations, liens, capital expenditures, lease
obligations, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, dividends and distributions,
redemption or repurchase of equity interests, subordinated debt payments and
modifications, loans and investments, transactions with affiliates, changes of
control, and payment of consulting and management fees.
As part of the financing, we swapped at least 50% of the aggregate
principal amount of the facilities to a floating rate within 90 days of the
close of the agreement. On April 11, 2006, effective April 28, 2006, we entered
into an interest rate swap on $73.0 million fixing the LIBOR rate of interest at
5.47% for a period of three years. This swap was made in conjunction with the
$161.0 million credit facility closed on March 9, 2006. In addition, on November
15, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap on $107.0 million fixing the
LIBOR rate of interest at 5.02% for a period of three years, and on November 28,
2006, we entered into an interest rate swap on $90.0 million fixing the LIBOR
rate of interest at 5.03% for a period of three years. Previously, the interest
rate on the above $270.0 million portion of the credit facility was based upon a
spread over LIBOR which floated with market conditions.
In addition, our credit facility, classified as a long-term liability
on our financial statements, is interest expense sensitive to changes in the
general level of interest because it is based upon the current prime rate plus a
factor.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we performed an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based
upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective
in alerting them prior to the end of a reporting period to all material
information required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC because
we identified the following material weakness in the design of internal control
over financial reporting: We concluded that we had (i) insufficient processes to
identify and resolve non-routine accounting matters, such as the identification
of off-balance sheet transactions, and the appropriate accounting for leases
with fixed rent escalators and (ii) insufficient personnel resources and
technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to resolve the
recording of non-typical cost-based investments in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The incorrect accounting for the foregoing was
sufficient to lead management to conclude that a material weakness in the design
of internal control over the accounting for non-routine transactions existed at
June 30, 2007.
We determined to change the design of our internal controls over
non-routine accounting matters by the identification of an outside resource at a
recognized professional services company that we can consult with on non-routine
transactions and the employment of qualified accounting personnel to deal with
this issue together with the utilization of other senior corporate accounting
staff, who are responsible for reviewing all non-routine matters and preparing
formal reports on their conclusions, and conducting quarterly reviews and
discussions of all non-routine accounting matters with our independent public
accountants. We engaged MorganFranklin, a consulting firm with the requisite
accounting expertise, to assist us, from time to time, in the evaluation and
application of the appropriate accounting treatment, to provide support in the
form of technical analysis related to accounting and financial reporting matters
that may arise, and to provide management advice with respect to their
preliminary conclusions regarding issues we wish to bring to their attention. To
the extent our Chief Financial Officer identifies any non-routine accounting
matters which require resolution, he will contact MorganFranklin and work
closely with them, our audit committee and our auditors to resolve any issues.
We are continuing to evaluate additional controls and procedures that we can
implement and have added additional accounting personnel during fiscal 2007 to
enhance our accounting processes and technical accounting resources. We do not
anticipate that the cost of this remediation effort will be material to our
financial statements. We believe that the engagement of MorganFranklin and use
of their services should adequately address the identified weakness. With the
acquisition of Radiologix we have added additional technical accounting staff
from their organization which we believe will further reduce any material
weakness.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control
system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
At June 30, 2007, the status of all current legal matters previously
disclosed in Part 1, Item 3, of our Form 10-K/T for the two months ended
December 31, 2006 is unchanged except that on July 3, 2007 we received a demand
for arbitration from the radiology group formerly providing professional
services at our Duluth, Minnesota site, which was sold in mid-June 2007. The
radiology group claims that they provided all of the value to the facility and
that they should receive $1.2 million as a result of the sale. We believe the
written contract between us and the Radiology group to be a statement of the
party's rights and obligations in the event of a sale and that we complied with
such agreement. We intend to vigorously protect our position.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, we urge
you to carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A Risk
Factors" in our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2006 and our Form
10-K/T for the two months ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect
our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks
described in our Forms 10-K and 10-K/T are not the only risks facing our
Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we
currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and/or operating results.
ITEM 2 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we sold the following
securities pursuant to an exemption from registration provided under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended:
In April 2007, we issued to four key employees warrants vesting
annually over five years of which one was to purchase 250,000 shares, two to
purchase 150,000 shares, and one to purchase 50,000 shares, exercisable at a
price of $5.88 per share, which was the public market price for our common stock
on the transaction date. The warrants expire six years from the date of grant.
