1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Assure Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Assure”), through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Assure Neuromonitoring, LLC (“Assure Neuromonitoring”) and Assure Networks, LLC (“Assure Networks”), provides technical and professional intraoperative neuromonitoring (“IONM”) surgical support services for neurosurgery, spine, cardiovascular, orthopedic, ear, nose, and throat, and other surgical procures that place the nervous system at risk. These services have been recognized as the standard of care by hospitals and surgeons for risk mitigation. Assure Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, employs most of the corporate employees and performs various corporate services on behalf of the consolidated Company. Neuromonitoring employs interoperative neurophysiologists (“INP”) who utilize technical equipment and their technical training to monitor electroencephalographic (“EEG”) and electromyography (“EMG”) signals during surgical procedures and to pre-emptively notify the underlying surgeon of any nerve related issues that are identified. The INPs perform their services in the operating room during the surgeries. The INPs are certified by a third-party accreditation agency.

Assure Networks performs similar support services as Assure Neuromonitoring except that these services are provided by employed or third party contracted neurologists or certified readers. The support service provided by the neurologist occurs at an offsite location at the same time and for the same surgery as the support services provided by the interoperative neurophysiologist.

The Company was originally incorporated in Colorado on November 7, 2016. In conjunction with a reverse merger, the Company was redomiciled in Nevada on May 16, 2017.

Neuromonitoring was formed on August 25, 2015 in Colorado and currently has multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s services are sold in the United States, directly through the Company.

Networks was formed on November 7, 2016 in Colorado and holds varying ownerships interests in numerous Provider Network Entities (“PEs”), which are professional IONM entities. These entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Additionally, Networks manages other PEs that Networks does not have an ownership interest and charges those PEs a management fee.

COVID-19

Our business and results of operations have been, and continues to be, affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic and related events and we expect its impact to continue. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in various markets and industries, including the healthcare industry. The volatility has had, and we anticipate it will continue to have, an adverse effect on our customers and on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and may result in an impairment of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, increased credit losses and impairments of investments in other companies. In particular, the healthcare industry, hospitals and providers of elective procedures have been and may continue to be impacted by the pandemic and/or other events beyond our control, and further volatility could have an additional negative impact on these industries, customers, and our business. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and, to a lesser extent, the impact on other industries, including automotive, electronics and real estate, increased fuel costs, U.S. restrictions on trade, and transitory inflation have impacted and may continue to impact the financial conditions of our customers and the patients they serve.

In addition, actions by United States federal, state and foreign governments to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, also had and may continue to have a significant adverse effect on the markets in which we conduct our businesses. COVID-19 poses the risk that our workforce, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting normal business activities for an extended period of time, including due to shutdowns or stay-at-home orders that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. We have implemented policies to allow our employees to work remotely as a result of the pandemic as we reviewed processes related to workplace safety, including social distancing and sanitation practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The COVID-19 pandemic could also cause

delays in acquiring new customers and executing renewals and could also impact our business as consumer behavior changes in response to the pandemic.

Since the start of the second quarter of 2021, there has been increased availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel, and government activities and functions, including healthcare and elective surgeries, and we have experienced a gradual resumption of economic activities in our industries. On the other hand, infection rates continue to fluctuate in various regions and new strains of the virus, including the Delta variant, remain a risk, which may give rise to implementation of restrictions in the geographic areas that we serve. In addition, there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including disruption of the supply chains, product shortages, increased delivery costs, increased governmental regulation, strains on healthcare systems, and delays in shipments, product development, technology launches and facility access.

We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, including legislation to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which was enacted in March 2020, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 which was enacted in March 2021. Although a significant portion of our anticipated revenue for 2022 is derived from fixed-fee and minimum-guarantee arrangements, primarily from large, well-capitalized customers which we believe somewhat mitigates the risks to our business, our per-unit and variable-fee based revenue will continue to be susceptible to the volatility, supply chain disruptions, microchip shortages and potential market downturns induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The full extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic; the availability, distribution and effectiveness of vaccines; the spread of new variants of COVID-19; the continued and renewed imposition of protective public safety measures; the impact of COVID-19 on integration of acquisitions, expansion plans, implementation of telemedicine, restrictions on elective procedures, delays in payor remittance and increased regulations; and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for consumer products. Although we are unable to predict the full impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we are actively managing our financial expenditures in response to continued uncertainty. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of the Form 10-K.

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and majority-owned entities.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For entities in which management has determined the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but has varying degrees of influence regarding operating policies of that entity, the Company’s investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies or recent accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed on March 14, 2022.

4. LEASES

Under ASC 842, Leases, a contract is a lease, or contains a lease, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To determine whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, an entity shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the entity has both of the following: (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset; and (b) the right to direct the use of the identified asset. The Company does not assume renewals in the determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably assured at lease commencement. Lease agreements generally do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a practical expedient, the Company elected not to separate non-lease components for the corporate office facility (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) from lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and instead to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component

Operating leases

The Company leases corporate office facilities under an operating lease which expires October 31, 2025. The incremental borrowing rate for this lease was 10%.  

Finance leases

The Company leases medical equipment under various financing leases with stated interest rates ranging from 5.2% — 13.4% per annum which expire at various dates through 2026.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following amounts for right of use (“ROU”) assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (stated in thousands):

Paycheck Protection Program

During March 2021, the Company received an unsecured loan under the United States Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in the amount of $1.7 million. Assure executed a PPP promissory note, with an original maturity date of February 25, 2026 (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan carried an interest rate of 1.0% per annum, with principal and interest payments due on the first day of each month, with payments commencing on the earlier of: (i) the day the amount of loan forgiveness granted to Assure is remitted by the Small Business Administration to the Bank of Oklahoma; or (ii) 10 months after the end of the 24-week period

(unaudited)

following the grant of the Loan. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, all or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if the Company maintains its employment and compensation within certain parameters during the 24-week period following the loan origination date and the proceeds of the PPP Loan are spent on payroll costs, rent or lease agreements dated before February 15, 2020 and utility payments arising under service agreements dated before February 15, 2020. The Company submitted its application for forgiveness of the PPP Loan during the fourth quarter of 2021 and during January 2022, the Company received forgiveness of the $1.7 million PPP Loan resulting in no balance due.

Convertible Debt

From November 2019 through May 2020, the Company closed multiple non-brokered private placements of convertible debenture units (“CD Unit”) for gross proceeds of $3.5 million. Each CD Unit was offered at a price of $1. Each CD Unit included, among other things, one common share purchase warrant that allows the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $5.00 to $9.50 per share for a period of three years and the right to convert the CD Unit into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion prices ranging from $3.35 to $7.00 per share for a period of four years. The CD Units carry a 9% coupon rate.

The fair value of the convertible debt was determined to be $1.7 million, the conversion feature $1.2 million and the warrants $600 thousand.  The difference between the fair value of the debt of $1.7 million and the face value of convertible debt of $3.5 million will be accreted over the four-year life of the CD Units.  

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, interest expense of $77 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively, was incurred related to Convertible Debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, accretion expense of $95 thousand was incurred related to Convertible Debt

Centurion Debt

On June 10, 2021, the Company entered into definitive agreements to secure a credit facility under the terms of a commitment letter dated March 8, 2021 (the “Commitment Letter”) with Centurion Financial Trust, an investment trust formed by Centurion Asset Management Inc. (“Centurion”).  Under the terms of the Commitment Letter, Assure issued a debenture to Centurion, dated June 9, 2021 (the “Debenture”), with a maturity date of June 9, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), in the principal amount of $11 million related to a credit facility comprised of a $6 million senior term loan (the “Senior Term Loan”), a $2 million senior revolving loan (the “Senior Revolving Loan”) and a $3 million senior term acquisition line (the “Senior Term Acquisition Line” and together with the Senior Term Loan and the Senior Revolving Loan, the “Credit Facility”).  During November 2021, the Company and Centurion entered into an amendment to allow the Senior Short Term Acquisition Line to be utilized for organic growth and general working capital purposes. Under the terms and conditions of the debt arrangement, Centurion modified their debt covenant calculations regarding bad debt expense.  As a result, the Company’s was in compliance with the debt covenants as of March 31, 2022.

The Credit Facility matures in June 2025 and bears interest at the rate of the greater of 9.50% or the Royal Bank of Canada Prime Rate plus 7.05% per annum.

The fair value of the Debenture was determined to be $6.8 million and the warrants $1.2 million.  The difference between the fair value of the debt of $6.8 million and the face value of the Debenture of $8.0 million will be accreted over the four-year term of the Debenture.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, interest expense was $263 thousand and accretion expense was $75 thousand related to Centurion Debt.

6. SHARE CAPITAL

Common stock

Common stock: 180,000,000 authorized; $0.001 par value. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 12,919,666 and 12,918,866 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Reverse Share Split

During September 2021, the total number of shares of common stock authorized by the Company was reduced from 900,000,000 shares of common stock, par $0.001, to 180,000,000 shares of common stock, par $0.001, and the number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder of the Company were consolidated automatically into the number of shares of common stock equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by each such stockholder immediately prior to the reverse split divided by five (5): effecting a five (5) old for one (1) new reverse stock split.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split and all fractional shares were rounded up to the next whole share.  

Additionally, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split were adjusted by dividing the number of shares of common stock into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by five (5) and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by five (5), all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share.

All shares of common stock, options, warrants and other convertible securities and the corresponding price per share amounts have been presented to reflect the reverse split in all periods presented within this Form 10-Q.

Stock options

During November 2021, the Company has adopted and approved the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The intent of the Company and the Board is that while the Amended 2020 Stock Option Plan and the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan will continue in existence in relation to the options and awards previously granted thereunder, the Board will not grant future options or awards thereunder. Instead, only the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan will be used for the grant of options and awards to eligible participants thereunder.

As of March 31, 2022, an aggregate of 1,870,000 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the 2021 Stock Option Plan. As of March 31, 2022, no transactions have occurred under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Options under the Plan are granted from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors, with vesting periods and other terms as determined by the Board of Directors.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of options. The fair value of each option grant is determined on the date of grant and the expense is recorded on a straight-line basis and is included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The assumptions used in the model include expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and forfeiture rate. The Company’s determination of these assumptions are outlined below.

Expected life — The expected life assumption is based on an analysis of the Company’s historical employee exercise patterns.

Volatility — Volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for a term consistent with the expected life.

Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for issues with remaining terms similar to the expected life of the options.

Dividend yield — Expected dividend yield is calculated based on cash dividends declared by the Board for the previous four quarters and dividing that result by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the quarter. The Company has not declared a dividend to date.

Forfeiture rate — The Company does not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of the grant due to the limited number of historical forfeitures. As a result, the forfeitures are recorded at the time the grant is forfeited.

The following assumptions were used to value the awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $323 thousand and $279 thousand, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, there was approximately $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to 510,859 unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.5 years.

Derivative Liability

Stock options granted to consultants that have an exercise price this is stated in a different currency than the Company’s functional currency are treated as a liability and are revalued at the end of each reporting period for the term of the vesting period. Any change in the fair value of the stock option after the initial recognition is recorded as a component of other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the treasury stock method to calculate the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common shares include incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, less shares from assumed proceeds. The assumed proceeds calculation includes actual proceeds to be received from the employee upon exercise and the average unrecognized stock compensation cost during the period

Stock options to purchase 1,317,800 and 527,693 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 3,940,006 and 3,665,005 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2022 and 2021 that were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common stock outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Indemnifications

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it may be obligated to indemnify third parties with respect to certain matters. These obligations include, but are not limited to, contracts entered into with physicians where the Company agrees, under certain circumstances, to indemnify a third party, against losses arising from matters including but not limited to medical malpractice and other liability. The impact of any such future claims, if made, on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to final outcome of these potential claims.

As permitted under Nevada law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company believes, given the absence of any such payments in the Company’s history, and the estimated low probability of such payments in the future, that the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is immaterial. In addition, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable the Company to recover any payments, should they occur.

OVERVIEW

Assure is a best-in-class provider of outsourced intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (“IONM”) and an emerging provider of remote neurology services that help make surgeries safer. The Company delivers a turnkey suite of clinical and operational services to support surgeons and medical facilities during invasive procedures. IONM has been well established as a standard of care and risk mitigation tool for various surgical verticals such as neurosurgery, spine, cardiovascular, orthopedic, ear, nose, and throat (“ENT”), and other surgical procures that place the nervous system at risk. Accredited by The Joint Commission, Assure’s mission is to provide exceptional surgical care and help make invasive surgeries safer. Our strategy focuses on utilizing best of class personnel and partners to deliver outcomes that are beneficial to all stakeholders including patients, surgeons, hospitals, insurers, and shareholders.

During each procedure, Assure provides two types of services, the Technical Component and Professional Component of IONM. Our in-house Interoperative Neurophysiologists (“INP”) provide Technical Component IONM services from the operating room throughout the procedure, while the telehealth-oriented supervising practitioners provide a level of redundancy and risk mitigation, the Professional Component, in support of the onsite INPs and surgical team. In addition, Assure offers a comprehensive suite of IONM services, including scheduling the INP and supervising practitioner, real time monitoring, patient advocacy and subsequent billing and collecting for services provided.

Historically, the foundation of Assure’s business has been providing the Technical Component of IONM via our INP staff. We employ highly trained INPs, which provide a direct point of contact in the operating room during the surgeries to relay critical information to the surgical team. In our one-to-one model, Assure pairs a surgeon with a team of INPs to promote a level of familiarity, comfort and efficiency between the surgeon and the INP. Each INP has the ability to handle approximately 200 cases annually. Our INPs monitor the surgical procedure using state of the art, commercially available, diagnostic medical equipment. Assure INP’s are certified by a

18

Table of Contents

third-party accreditation agency. The success of our service depends upon the timely and successful interpretation of the data signals by our INPs and thereafter to quickly determine if there is a deficiency and the surgical intervention required to positively impact the patient and surgery. Employing this model, Assure has rapidly expanded its operational footprint from a home base in Colorado and increased its number of managed cases from approximately 1,600 in 2017 to approximately 17,400 in 2021.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, Assure began executing on its long-term vertical integration plan by expanding into remote neurology services. As a result, Assure began delivering remote neurology services in support of the surgical team and INPs rather than exclusively relying on third- party supervising practitioners as it had previously. We currently have supervising practitioners employed and working with surgical teams and our INPs.  They are utilizing equipment and training to monitor electroencephalographic (“EEG”) and electromyography (“EMG”) and several complex modalities during surgical procedures to pre-emptively notify the underlying surgeon of any nerve related issues that are identified.

Remote neurology services is a one-to-many model, as one supervising practitioner is able to monitor multiple patients simultaneously.  As a result, the Professional Component has a different financial profile than the Technical Component. Supervising practitioners provide remote neurology services from an off-site location and maintain the ability to manage multiple cases simultaneously. As a result, each supervising practitioner has the ability to handle approximately 2,500 or more cases annually. In 2021, Assure performed approximately 17,400 total managed cases including managing approximately 2,100 remote neurology cases with employed supervising practitioners.  The number of remote neurology managed cases is expected to expand significantly as our supervising practitioners increase the volume of cases supervised and additional neurologists are added to the team.

Bringing the Professional Component of IONM in-house generates a number of positives for Assure. First, we will be able to oversee quality of service for providing remote neurology services. This commitment to quality supports our efforts to sign new in-network agreements with insurance payors and facility-wide agreements with hospitals. Second, by bringing the remote neurology function in-house, we are able to significantly reduce cost of delivery, allowing the Company to improve our profitability on every case we perform. Our objective is to significantly reduce the cost of delivery for remote neurology services going forward. Additional scale will serve as a catalyst for margin expansion in the future. Third, for most of the cases we perform, remote neurology services represent the creation of a new revenue stream. Fourth, providing remote neurology services for IONM creates opportunities in adjacent markets where similar remote neurology services are utilized. The shift to providing remote neurology services ourselves was a natural progression of the business. We already built the platform and maintained patient volume, insourcing remote neurology was simply a matter of replacing contractors with Assure supervising practitioners to service this volume. The long-term result will be increased margins, a new revenue stream and improved cash receipts from commercial payors.  

Collectively, support from Assure’s high quality Technical and Professional IONM services results in decreased hospital and surgeon liability, abbreviated patient stays, fewer readmissions, reduced hospital costs, enhanced overall patient satisfaction and the efficient achievement of better clinical outcomes.

As we transition to becoming a provider of remote neurology services, we believe our expertise in IONM will assist us in entering adjacent markets including EEG, epilepsy, sleep study and stroke in which Assure supervising practitioners can also provide patient services.

In 2022, Assure provided IONM services for approximately 160 surgeons in approximately 100 hospitals and surgery centers. The Company operates in: Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Minnesota and Utah. Our continued geographic expansion initiatives, including facility-wide outsourcing agreements with medical facilities and hospital networks, coupled with the surgical vertical expansion efforts, extending the Company’s reach into remote neurology services and selective acquisitions are expected to generate substantial growth opportunities going forward. In the future, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds for the continuing development of our business plan.

Clinical leadership, surgeon support and patient care are Assure’s cornerstones. We make substantial ongoing investments in our training and development of clinical staff and have created a fellowship program to rigorously train new INPs to cost-effectively join the Assure team. In addition, we have partnered with the internationally renowned Texas Back Institute on clinical research relating to IONM safety and efficacy. Isador Lieberman, M.D., the president and director of the scoliosis and spine tumor program at the Texas Back Institute, is a member of Assure’s Medical Advisory Committee.

Our strategy is to build a telehealth remote neurology services company with exceptional capabilities in IONM and numerous adjacent markets while utilizing the same platform and employees. This will extend our reach and redefine our position in the industry. We are thoughtfully deploying capital and focusing our investment in high potential growth initiatives including: organically expanding into new states, growing our remote neurology platform, signing new IONM outsourcing agreements with hospitals and medical facilities, as well as opportunistic M&A. In addition, we are investing to make our revenue cycle management function more automated, improving the velocity of our cash collections. The data and analytics-driven Company we are building will play a bigger role in the success of our key stakeholder groups: surgeons, hospitals, insurance companies and patients, and in turn deliver attractive returns to our stockholders.

The Company has financed its cash requirements primarily from revenues generated from its services, by utilizing debt facilities and from the sale of common stock.

Payment for services, revenue mix and seasonality

Over half of Assure’s patients commonly have commercial health insurance coverage (“Commercial Payor”) and we are compensated via their health insurance plan. Assure’s commercial insurance patients represent the significant majority of our revenue and profit margin. We produce separate bills for the Technical Component and the Professional Component of the IONM services we perform. The majority of our commercial payors are billed out-of-network and we negotiate payment for each claim. The remainder of commercial payors utilize a contracted rate. The majority of contracted rates are via indirect agreements with third-party organizations or related entities of the commercial payor with a smaller portion in direct agreements with contracted rates.

We bill, collect, and retain 100% of the revenue associated with the Technical Component of the services we provide. For the Professional Component, when the supervising practitioner is an Assure employee or where we own 100% of the entity managing the procedure, the Company bills, collects and retains 100% of the revenue. In instances in which the Professional Component is provided via Managed Service Agreements (“MSAs”) with surgeons or through agreements with Professional Entities (“PEs”), we engage in a revenue share based on the percentage outlined in the underlying agreement.  

For the balance of the patients we serve, billing is made under individual facility service agreements with hospitals.  In these cases, the hospital’s patient may be uninsured or have government insurance.  Regardless, Assure provides the same high level of service and quality of care.

The surgical segment of the health care industry tends to be impacted by seasonality due to the nature of most benefit plans resetting on a calendar year basis. As patients utilize and reduce their remaining deductible throughout the year, Assure typically see an increase in volume throughout the year with the biggest impact coming during the fourth quarter. As a result, historically our annual revenues are overweighted in the fourth quarter.

Seasonality impacts our revenue mix for similar reasons. As patients with commercial insurance utilize and reduce their remaining deductible throughout the year, we typically see an increase in volume with the biggest impact coming in the fourth quarter. Historically, our revenue mix is relatively overweighted to patients with commercial insurance in the second half of the year and to patients with government insurance in the first half of the year.

COVID-19

Our business and results of operations have been, and continues to be, adversely affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic and related events and we expect its impact to continue. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in various markets and industries, including the healthcare industry. The volatility has had, and we anticipate it will continue to have, an adverse effect on our customers and on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and may result in an impairment of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, increased credit losses and impairments of investments in other companies. In particular, the healthcare industry, hospitals and providers of elective procedures have been and may continue to be impacted by the pandemic and/or other events beyond our control, and further volatility could have an additional negative impact on these industries, customers, and our business. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and, to a lesser extent, the impact on other industries, including automotive, electronics and real estate, increased fuel costs, U.S. restrictions on trade, and transitory inflation have impacted and may continue to impact the financial conditions of our customers and the patients they serve.

20

Table of Contents

In addition, actions by United States federal, state and foreign governments to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, also had a significant adverse effect on the markets in which we conduct our businesses. COVID-19 poses the risk that our workforce, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting normal business activities for an extended period of time, including due to shutdowns or stay-at-home orders that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. We have implemented policies to allow our employees to work remotely as a result of the pandemic as we reviewed processes related to workplace safety, including social distancing and sanitation practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The COVID-19 pandemic could also cause delays in acquiring new customers and executing renewals and could also impact our business as consumer behavior changes in response to the pandemic.

Since the start of the second quarter of 2021, there has been increased availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel, and government activities and functions, and we have experienced a gradual resumption of economic activities in our industries. On the other hand, infection rates continue to fluctuate in various regions and new strains of the virus, including the Delta variant, remain a risk, which may give rise to implementation of restrictions in the geographic areas that we serve. In addition, there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including disruption of the supply chains, product shortages, increased delivery costs, increased governmental regulation, strains on healthcare systems, and delays in shipments, product development, technology launches and facility access.

We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, including legislation to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which was enacted in March 2020, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 which was enacted in March 2021. Although a significant portion of our anticipated revenue for 2021 is derived from fixed-fee and minimum-guarantee arrangements, primarily from large, well-capitalized customers which we believe somewhat mitigates the risks to our business, our per-unit and variable-fee based revenue will continue to be susceptible to the volatility, supply chain disruptions, microchip shortages and potential market downturns induced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The full extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic; the availability, distribution and effectiveness of vaccines; the spread of new variants of COVID-19; the continued and renewed imposition of protective public safety measures; the impact of COVID-19 on integration of acquisitions, expansion plans, implementation of telemedicine, restrictions on elective procedures, delays in payor remittance and increased regulations; and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for consumer products.  Although we are unable to predict the full impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we are actively managing our financial expenditures in response to continued uncertainty. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of the Form 10-K.

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $4.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, net of implicit price concessions. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded an allowance for implicit price concessions of $4.4 million and $118 thousand, respectively.  Gross revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, prior to the application of implicit price concessions, totaled $9.1 million and $4.9 million.  The increase in gross revenue is primarily related to an increase in managed case volume of approximately 2,300 from nearly 2,800 in the first quarter 2021 to over 5,100 in the same period of 2022.  The increase in managed cases is primarily related to the acquisition of Sentry, completed during the second quarter of 2021, and expansion into remote neurology.  Gross revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was negatively impacted by implicit price concessions related to aged claims. Based on the Company’s historical experience, claims generally become uncollectible once they are aged greater than 24 months; as such, included in the Company’s $4.4 million allowance for implicit price concessions for the three months ended March 31, 2022, is an estimate of the likelihood that a portion of the Company’s accounts receivable may become uncollectible due to age. Management has recently designated a tactical team to specifically pursue these reserved claims. We expect results from these efforts in the second half of the year as we continue collection efforts for claims aged past 24 months. As a result, we anticipate that there will also be a bad debt charge in the second quarter of 2022; smaller than what we reported in the first quarter, but still a material impact.  

Technical and professional service revenue is recognized in the period in which IONM services are rendered, at net realizable amounts due from third party payors when collections are reasonably assured and can be estimated. The majority of the Company’s services are rendered on an out-of-network basis and billed to third-party insurers. We estimate out-of-network technical and professional revenue per case based upon our historical cash collection rates from private health insurance carriers. Our revenue estimation process for out-of-network revenue is based on the collection experience from insurance cases that are between 1-24 months old as management believes the more recent collection experience is more indicative of future per case collection rates.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Assure managed approximately 5,100 cases compared to approximately 2,800 cases in the same period in the prior year, a 83% increase in managed case volume The increase is primarily related to organic sales growth in new markets, the acquisition of Sentry during the second quarter of 2021, and the launch of remote neurology services during the second quarter of 2021.

Other revenue consists of revenue from managed service arrangements on a contractual basis. Revenue from services rendered is recorded after services are rendered.

Cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization

Cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were $3.9 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2021, an 53% increase. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the number of neuromonitoring cases increased 83% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 which drove the costs of revenues increase. Cost of revenues consist primarily of the cost of our internal billing and collection department, internal and external collection costs, technologist and supervising practitioner wages, third-party supervising practitioner fees, and medical supplies. Technologist and supervising practitioner wages and medical supplies vary with the number of neuromonitoring cases. The cost of our internal billing and collection department increased as we have increased headcount to align with expected growth in volume and the number of cases to invoice has increased.  

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses were $4.2 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase period-to-period was primarily related to increased head count, via organic growth and integrated acquisitions, as we continued to build various administrative functions to support our planned growth and higher travel expense.

Gain on Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness

During March 2021, the Company received an unsecured loan under the United States Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) pursuant to the recently adopted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “PPP Loan”) in the amount of $1.7 million. During January 2022, the Company was granted forgiveness of the PPP Loan. As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on forgiveness of the PPP Loan of $1.7 million. There were no similar transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Accretion expense

The Company recorded non-cash accretion expense of $170 thousand and $95 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The Company accretes the difference between the fair value of the convertible debt and the debenture and the face value of the convertible debt and the debenture over the term of the convertible debt and the debenture.  Specifically, accretion expense was $95 for each period related to the convertible debt and $75 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 for the debenture.  

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $407 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $18 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase year-over-year is primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances. Specifically, interest expense was $77 and $18 for each period related to the convertible debt and $263 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 for the debenture.

Income tax benefit

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, income tax benefit was $337 thousand compared $427 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s estimated annual tax rate is impacted primarily by the amount of taxable income earned in each jurisdiction the Company operates in and permanent differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash position as of March 31, 2022 was $1.7 million compared to the December 31, 2021 cash balance of $4.0 million. Working capital was $30.9 million as of March 31, 2022 compared to $34.3 million at December 31, 2021. We believe that our working capital balance and our estimated cash flows from operations during 2022 is expected support our operating activities and our obligations for the next 12 months. However, if we pursue our plan of continued growth our existing working capital will not  be sufficient and we may need to seek equity or debt financing. We rely on payments from multiple private insurers and hospital systems that have payment policies and payment cycles that vary widely and are subject to change. Because we are primarily an out-of-network biller to private insurance companies, the collection times for our claims can last in excess of 24 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an allowance for implicit price concessions of $4.4 million and we expect a material allowance for the three months ended June 2022 for the same reason. As a result, we anticipate the EBITDA to be negative for the same period but to improve in the second half of the year.  

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we collected approximately $5.6 million of cash from operations compared to collecting approximately $3.1 million in the same prior year period. As of March 31, 2022, accounts receivable, which are recorded net of implicit price concessions, was $26.5 million compared to $27.8 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in our accounts receivable balance during 2021 is primarily due organic growth as we enter new markets, the impact of the acquisition of Sentry during the second quarter of 2021, and the launch of our in-house remote neurology services. When we enter new markets, we experience a time lag in credentialling with payors of four months on average. We experienced similar delays with the launch of our remote neurology services which began in the second quarter 2021. We received $35 thousand in cash distributions from the PE entities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $169 thousand received for the same period in the prior year.

As of March 31, 2022, we have collected approximately 65% of our accounts receivable within six months and approximately 85% within 12 months from the service date.

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily from revenues generated from services rendered and through equity and debt financings. Our cash balance and projected cash flows from operations are expected to meet fund our current obligations and planned operating activities for the next 12 months.  

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2.3 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period in the preceding year. Cash was used to fund operations and to fund our growth strategy.

Cash used in investing activities of $42 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was related the PE distributions of $35 thousand, offset by payments related to the Sentry acquisition of $51 thousand and fixed asset purchases of $26 thousand.  Cash provided by investing activities of $169 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was related to distributions received from the PEs.

Cash provided by financing activities of $4 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to stock option exercises. Cash provided by financing activities of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program loan.

Our near-term cash requirements relate primarily to payroll expenses, trade payables, debt payments, capital lease payments, and general corporate obligations.

We have receivables from equity investments in PEs and other entities that are due and payable upon those entities collecting on their own accounts receivable. To the extent that these entities are unable to collect on their accounts receivable or there is an impairment in the valuation of those accounts receivable, the Company will need to reduce its related party receivables and/or its equity investments in the PEs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Application of GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and within this MD&A. We consider our most important accounting policies that require significant estimates and management judgment to be those policies with respect to revenue, accounts receivable, stock based compensation, acquired intangible assets, goodwill, and income taxes, which are discussed below. Our other significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation” and Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2022.

We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In general, our estimates are based on historical experience, evaluation of current trends, information from third-party professionals and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the known facts and circumstances. Estimates can require a significant amount of judgment and a different set of assumptions could result in material changes to our reported results.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  Changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 are discussed below under “Remediation”.

Material Weaknesses

Previously, management noted that we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related improper segregation of duties which management believes to be a material weakness.

Remediation Progress

In response to the identified material weakness, during the first quarter of 2022, management began to restructure certain employee functions to allow for proper review of all transactions in order to remediate the segregation of duties control weakness. Management believes the segregation of duties material weakness will be remediated during the second quarter of 2022.
