NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Description of Business
Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. and its affiliated physician groups are a physician-centric, integrated healthcare delivery system serving Medicare, Commercial and Medi-Cal beneficiaries in California. As of October 31, 2013, ApolloMed’s physician network consisted of hospitalists, primary care physicians and specialist physicians primarily through our owned and affiliated physician groups. ApolloMed operates as a medical management holding company through the following wholly-owned subsidiary management companies: Apollo Medical Management, Inc. (“AMM”), Pulmonary Critical Care Management, Inc. (“PCCM”), Verdugo Medical Management, Inc. (“VMM”) and ApolloMed ACO, Inc. (“ApolloMed ACO”). Through AMM, PCCM, and VMM, the Company manages affiliated medical groups, which consists of ApolloMed Hospitalists (“AMH"), Los Angeles Lung Center (“LALC”), and Eli Hendel, M.D., Inc. (“Hendel”.) AMM, PCCM and VMM each operate as a physician practice management company (“PPM”) and are in the business of providing management services to physician practice corporations (“PPC”) under long-term management service agreements. ApolloMedACO participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”), the goal of which is to improve the quality of patient care and outcomes through more efficient and coordinated approach among providers.
Consolidation of Maverick Medical Group, Inc. and ApolloMed Care Clinic
On February 1, 2013 AMM entered into a management services agreement with Maverick Medical Group, Inc. (“MMG”), a newly formed independent practice association (“IPA”). Prior to February 1, 2013 MMG had no business operations. Under the MMG management services agreement (“MSA”), AMM has exclusive authority and will perform all non-medical management and administrative services related to the ongoing business operations of MMG. In addition, AMM has agreed to provide working capital to MMG to fund its initial operations. The MSA has an initial term of 20 years and is not terminable by either party except in the case of gross negligence, fraud, or other illegal acts by Apollo, or bankruptcy of Apollo. AMM is the primary beneficiary of MMG under the MSA, and consolidated the financial statements of MMG from the date of execution of the management agreement.
On July 31, 2013 AMM entered into a management services agreement with ApolloMed Care Clinic (“ACC”), a newly formed physician practice corporation. Prior to July 31, 2013 ACC had no business operations. Under the ACC management services agreement (“ACC MSA”), AMM has exclusive authority and will perform all non-medical management and administrative services related to the ongoing business operations of MMG. In addition, AMM has agreed to provide working capital to ACC to fund its initial operations. The ACC MSA has an initial term of 20 years and is not terminable by either party except in the case of gross negligence, fraud, or other illegal acts by Apollo, or bankruptcy of Apollo. AMM is the primary beneficiary of ACC under the MSA, and consolidated the financial statements of ACC from the date of execution of the management agreement.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company incurred the following net operating loss and cash from operating activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2013:
Net operating loss | | $ | 2,885,846 | |
Cash used in operating activities | | $ | 928,745 | |
As of October 31, 2013 the Company’s accumulated and stockholders’ deficit was as follows:
Accumulated deficit | | $ | 14,418,150 | |
Stockholders' deficit | | $ | 1,046,238 | |
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
To date the Company has funded its operations from internally generated cash flow and external sources, including the proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities which have provided funds for near-term operations and growth. In October 2013 the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended on December 20, 2013) with a financing entity that provides for the Company to borrow up to $4,000,000 (see Note 5). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the line of credit for retirement of other indebtedness, working capital and general corporate purposes. The current operating plan indicates that losses from operations may be incurred for all of fiscal 2014. Consequently, we may not have sufficient liquidity necessary to sustain operations for the next twelve months and this raises substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. On January 31, 2013 the Company raised through a private placement offering $880,000 of par value 9% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Promissory Notes maturing February 15, 2016 (the “9% Notes”) and through July 31, 2013 had raised an aggregate of $1.1 million in gross proceeds (see Note 5). In March, 2013, the Company initiated a private placement of up to 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price per share of $0.40 (the “Equity Offering”), and has raised $730,000 during the nine months ended October 31, 2013 (see Note 8). The Company intends to use the net proceeds after issue costs from the 9% Notes and the Equity Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
No assurances can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan. If the Company is not able to raise substantial additional capital in a timely manner, the Company may be forced to cease operations.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Principles
These condensed consolidated statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in management’s opinion, are necessary, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 1, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries AMM, ApolloMed ACO, PCCM, and VMM, it’s controlling interest in Aligned Healthcare, Inc. (“AHI”), and PPC’s managed under long-term management service agreements including AMH, MMG, ACC, LALC and Hendel. Some states have laws that prohibit business entities, such as Apollo, from practicing medicine, employing physicians to practice medicine, exercising control over medical decisions by physicians (collectively known as the corporate practice of medicine), or engaging in certain arrangements with physicians, such as fee-splitting. In California, we operate by maintaining long-term management service agreements with the PPC’s, which are each owned and operated by physicians, and which employ or contract with additional physicians to provide hospitalist services. Under the management agreements, we provide and perform all non-medical management and administrative services, including financial management, information systems, marketing, risk management and administrative support. The management agreements typically have an initial term of 20 years unless terminated by either party for cause. The management agreements are not terminable by the PMC’s, except in the case of gross negligence, fraud, or other illegal acts by Apollo, or bankruptcy of Apollo.
Through the management agreements and our relationship with the stockholders of the PPC’s, we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations of the PPC’s. Consequently, we consolidate the revenue and expenses of the PPCs from the date of execution of the management agreements.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists of contracted and fee-for-service revenue. Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are rendered. Our revenue is principally derived from the provision of healthcare staffing services to patients within healthcare facilities. The form of billing and related risk of collection for such services may vary by customer. The following is a summary of the principal forms of our billing arrangements and how net revenue is recognized for each.
Contracted revenue represents revenue generated under contracts for which we provide physician and other healthcare staffing and administrative services in return for a contractually negotiated fee. Contract revenue consists primarily of billings based on hours of healthcare staffing provided at agreed-to hourly rates. Revenue in such cases is recognized as the hours are worked by our staff and contractors. Additionally, contract revenue also includes supplemental revenue from hospitals where we may have a fee-for-service contract arrangement or provide physician advisory services to the medical staff at a specific facility. Contract revenue for the supplemental billing in such cases is recognized based on the terms of each individual contract. Such contract terms generally either provides for a fixed monthly dollar amount or a variable amount based upon measurable monthly activity, such as hours staffed, patient visits or collections per visit compared to a minimum activity threshold. Such supplemental revenues based on variable arrangements are usually contractually fixed on a monthly, quarterly or annual calculation basis considering the variable factors negotiated in each such arrangement. Such supplemental revenues are recognized as revenue in the period when such amounts are determined to be fixed and therefore contractually obligated as payable by the customer under the terms of the respective agreement. Additionally, we derive a portion of our revenue as a contractual bonus from collections received by our partners and such revenue is contingent upon the collection of third-party billings. These revenues are not considered earned and therefore not recognized as revenue until actual cash collections are achieved in accordance with the contractual arrangements for such services.
Fee-for-service revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which we bill and collect the professional component of charges for medical services rendered by our contracted and employed physicians. Under the fee-for-service arrangements, we bill patients for services provided and receive payment from patients or their third-party payers. Fee-for-service revenue is reported net of contractual allowances and policy discounts. All services provided are expected to result in cash flows and are therefore reflected as net revenue in the financial statements. Fee-for-service revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered to specific patients and reduced immediately for the estimated impact of contractual allowances in the case of those patients having third-party payer coverage. The recognition of net revenue (gross charges less contractual allowances) from such visits is dependent on such factors as proper completion of medical charts following a patient visit, the forwarding of such charts to our billing center for medical coding and entering into our billing system and the verification of each patient’s submission or representation at the time services are rendered as to the payer(s) responsible for payment of such services. Revenue is recorded based on the information known at the time of entering of such information into our billing systems as well as an estimate of the revenue associated with medical services.
The Company through its subsidiary, ApolloMed ACO, participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”) sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”). The MSSP allows ACO participants to share in cost savings it generates in connection with rendering medical services to Medicare patients. Payments to ACO participants, if any, will be calculated by CMS on cost savings generated by the ACO participant based on a trailing 24 month medical service history. The MSSP is a newly formed program with no history of payments to ACO participants. The Company considers revenue, if any, under the MSSP, as contingent upon the realization of program savings as determined by CMS, and are not considered earned and therefore are not recognized as revenue until cash payments from CMS are received. For the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded no revenue related to the MSSP.
Concentrations
The Company had two major customers during the three months ended October 31, 2013 which contributed 15.4% and 15.0% of net revenues, respectively, and had three major customers during the three months ended October 31, 2012 which contributed 20.8%, 6.3% and 4.2% of net revenues, respectively.
The Company had two major customers during the nine months ended October 31, 2013 which contributed 16.3% and 15.5% of net revenues, respectively, and had three major customers during the nine months ended October 31, 2012 which contributed 24.0%, 7.7% and 4.9% of revenue, respectively.
The Company had two major customers that contributed 16.2% and 9.7% of accounts receivable, respectively, as of October 31, 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our accounting for Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:
Level one Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level two Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level three Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Non-controlling Interest
The non-controlling interest recorded in our consolidated financial statements represents the pre-acquisition equity of those PPC’s in which we have determined that we have a controlling financial interest and for which consolidation is required as a result of management contracts entered into with these entities. The nature of these contracts provide us with a monthly management fee to provide the services described above, and as such, the only adjustments to non-controlling interests in any period subsequent to initial consolidation would relate to either capital contributions or withdrawals by the non-controlling parties.
Activity within non-controlling interest for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 consisted of the following:
Balance as of January 31, 2013 | | $ | (36,503) | |
Stock-based compensation | | | 9,475 | |

Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during a certain period, and is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, using the as-if converted method for secured convertible notes, and the treasury stock method for options and warrants.
The following table sets forth the number of shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
| | Three months ended October 31, | | Nine months ended October 31, | |
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Incremental shares assumed issued on exercise of in the money options | | | 4,373,687 | | | - | | | 4,547,125 | | | - | |
Incremental shares assumed issued on exercise of in the money warrants | | | 1,428,067 | | | 798,743 | | | 1,535,402 | | | 377,141 | |

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying fiscal year 2013 consolidated financial statements to conform them to the fiscal year 2014 presentation.
3. Acquisition
On September 1, 2013 ACC acquired certain assets, excluding working capital, of a medical clinic in Los Angeles, California. We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the purchase date and be recorded on the balance sheet. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. Transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred and were expensed as incurred. The related transaction costs expensed for the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2013 were approximately $10,000.
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following items:
Cash consideration | | $ | 100,000 | |
Promissory note due to seller | | | 125,000 | |
Total purchase consideration | | $ | 225,000 | |
Fair Value Estimate of Asset Acquired and Liability Assumed
The total purchase consideration is allocated to the acquisition of the net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired is as follows:
Goodwill | | $ | 225,000 | |
Total fair value of assets acquired | | | 225,000 | |
Promissory note, net | | | 125,000 | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 100,000 | |
Property and equipment fair value was determined using their historical cost adjusted for usage and management estimates.
The promissory note issued will be paid in installments of $15,000 per month for ten months commencing 90 days from the closing date under a non-interest bearing promissory note to be secured by the assets of the clinic. The Company determined the fair value of the note using an interest rate of 26.3% per annum to discount future cash flows, which is based on the cost of recent debt issuances of Apollo (Note 5).
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Specifically, the goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition includes benefits that the Company believes will result from gaining additional expertise and intellectual property in the clinical care area and expand the reach of its Maverick Medical Group IPA. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.
We do not consider this acquisition to be a material business combination and, therefore, have not disclosed the pro forma results of operations as required for material business combinations.
The recorded purchase price amounts are preliminary and subject to change as we are awaiting additional information related to acquired intangible assets and note discount. The effects of final adjustments, if any, on the purchase price allocation are not expected to be material.

5. Notes and Lines of Credit Payable
Senior Secured Note
The terms of the amended $500,000 Senior Secured Note to SpaGus Apollo, LLC provide for borrowings to bear interest at 8.0 % per annum with accrued interest payable in arrears on each of December 28, 2012, March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 and October 15, 2013. On April 15, 2013 the Company was obligated to issue an additional 100,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to SpaGus required under the terms of the amended Note, which had a fair value of $45,000 at the obligation date. The Company accounted for this additional payment as a modification, which was amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the amended Note using the effective interest method. The amended Note matured and was repaid, including accrued unpaid interest, on October 16, 2013.
Promissory Note
In connection with the September 1, 2013 acquisition of the Los Angeles, CA medical clinic (Note 3), ACC issued a non-interest bearing promissory note to the seller, which is due in ten installments of $15,000 per month commencing December 1, 2013. ACC recorded the note at its fair value of $125,000 using an interest rate of 26.3% to discount future cash flows, which is based on the cost of recent debt issuances of Apollo. The note is secured by substantially all assets of the clinic.
Lines of credit payable
Secured revolving credit facility
On October 15, 2013, the Company entered into a $2.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with NNA of Nevada, Inc., and (“the Lender” or “NNA”). The Company and its subsidiaries are guarantors of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. Loans drawn under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including a security interest in the deposit accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of the shares in the Company’s subsidiaries. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) three months LIBOR and (ii) six percent (6.24% at October 31, 2013). Interest is payable on the last business day of each successive month, in arrears, commencing October 31, 2013, and at each month-end thereafter. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to pay the Lender a facility fee, on the last business day of each month, at a per annum rate of 1.0% of the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit commitment under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures June 30, 2014. The Company incurred direct costs related to the Credit Agreement aggregating $119,500 which were accounted for as deferred financing costs and will be amortized using the straight line method to interest expense over the term thereof. As of October 31, 2013 $811,878 was outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
On December 20, 2013 the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which increased the revolving credit facility from $2 million to $4 million. The proceeds of the Amended Credit Agreement were used by the Company to repay the $500,000 senior secured note (the “Senior Secured Note”) to SpaGus Apollo, LLC , and will be used to pay or repay certain of the Company’s 10% Notes, to refinance certain other indebtedness of the Company, and for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

In addition, the Credit Agreement includes certain negative covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit our ability to, among other things incur additional indebtedness, engage in future mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sell assets, pay dividends and distributions on or repurchase capital stock, and enter into or amend other material agreements. The Credit Agreement also includes certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, which are set forth in more detail in the Credit Agreement.
The Company is in compliance with its financial covenants as of October 31, 2013 under the Amended Credit Agreement.

7. Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”)). Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Regulatory Matters
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. We believe that we are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Legal
In the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by our affiliated hospitalists. We may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve significant claims and/or significant defense costs. We believe, based upon our review of pending actions and proceedings, that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period.
Liability Insurance
We believe that our insurance coverage is appropriate based upon our claims experience and the nature and risks of our business. In addition to the known incidents that have resulted in the assertion of claims, we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us, our affiliated professional organizations or our affiliated hospitalists in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable. We believe that the ultimate resolution of all pending claims, including liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance that future claims will not have such a material adverse effect on our business.
Although we currently maintain liability insurance policies on a claims-made basis, which are intended to cover malpractice liability and certain other claims, the coverage must be renewed annually, and may not continue to be available to us in future years at acceptable costs, and on favorable terms.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, reference is made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC) on May 1, 2013.
In this Quarterly Report, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, “Apollo,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc,, a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary-management company, Apollo Medical Management, Inc., and affiliated medical groups. Our affiliated professional organizations are separate legal entities that provide physician services in California and with which we have management agreements. For financial reporting purposes we consolidate the revenues and expenses of all our practice groups that we own or manage because we have a controlling financial interest in these practices based on applicable accounting rules and as described in our accompanying financial statements. Also, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, “our affiliated hospitalists” refer to physicians employed or contracted by either our wholly-owned subsidiaries or our affiliated professional organizations. References to “practices” or “practice groups” refer to our subsidiary-management company and the affiliated professional organizations of Apollo that provide medical services, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events and the future results of Apollo that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions about our business. Words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “target,” “potential,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “sees,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the section entitled “Risk Factors”, as well as those discussed from time to time in the Company’s other SEC filings and reports. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report, or for changes made to this document by wire services or Internet service providers. If we update or correct one or more forward-looking statements, investors and others should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections with respect to other forward-looking statements.
Overview
Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. and its affiliated physician groups (“ApolloMed”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) are a physician centric, integrated healthcare delivery system serving Medicare, Commercial and Medi-Cal beneficiaries in California. ApolloMed’s businesses operate primarily under risk and value-based contracts with health plans, Independent Physician Associations (“IPAs”), Hospitals and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) Medicare Shared Savings Program. We believe each major constituent of the healthcare delivery system, including patients, families, primary care physicians, specialists, acute care hospitals, alternative sites of inpatient care, physician groups and health plans can benefit from better coordinated care. We are positioned to assist and provide “Best in Class” care coordination services to each of these constituents and assist in finding solutions to many of the challenges associated with patient care in the inpatient and outpatient settings.
ApolloMed was incorporated in California in 2001, beginning operations at Glendale Memorial Hospital as a hospital based physician group. The Company was organized around the admission and care of patients at inpatient facilities such as a hospital. We have successfully grown our inpatient strategy in a competitive market by providing high quality care for our patients and innovative solutions for our hospital and managed care clients by focusing on improving the inefficiencies associated with inpatient care, reducing readmissions and improving outcomes through better care coordination. Currently, we provide inpatient services at over 28 hospitals and long-term acute care facilities in Los Angeles and Central California where we have contracted with over 50 hospitals, IPAs and health plans to provide a range of inpatient services including hospitalist, intensivist, physician advisor and consulting services.
In 2012, the Company formed an Accountable Care Organization (“ACO”), ApolloMed ACO, to participate in CMS’ Medicare Shared Savings Program. The ACO program is designed to work together with payors by aligning provider incentives. This alignment of provider incentives is intended to improve quality and medical outcomes for patients across the ACO and achieve cost savings for Medicare. We believe ApolloMed ACO is unique in that it leverages our best in class inpatient and outpatient capabilities.
Recent Developments
On February 1, 2013 Apollo Medical Management (“AMM”) entered into a management services agreement with Maverick Medical Group, Inc. (“MMG”), a newly formed independent practice association (“IPA”). MMG will serve Medicare, Dual Eligible, Commercial and Medi-Cal patients residing in the greater Los Angeles area. MMG will operate under full and professional risk contracts with health plans through its network of over 150 Primary Care Physicians and Specialist physicians. Prior to February 1, 2013 MMG had no business operations. On July 31, 2013 AMM entered into a management services agreement with Apollomed Care Clinic (“ACC”), a newly formed PPC. ACC will serve Medicare, Dual Eligible, Commercial and Medi-Cal patients residing in the greater Los Angeles area. Prior to July 31, 2013 ACC had no business operations.
Under the management services agreements (“MSA’s”) with MMG and ACC, AMM has exclusive authority and will perform all non-medical management and administrative services related to their respective ongoing business operations. In addition, AMM has agreed to provide working capital to MMG and ACC to fund their initial operations. The MSA’s have an initial term of 20 years and are not terminable by either party except in the case of gross negligence, fraud, or other illegal acts by Apollo, or bankruptcy of Apollo. AMM is the primary beneficiary of MMG and ACC under the respective MSA, and consolidates the financial statements of MMG and ACC from the date of execution of the management agreement.
On September 1, 2013 ACC acquired certain assets, excluding working capital, of a medical clinic in Los Angeles, California for total consideration of $225,000 consisting of $100,000 in cash and a promissory note. The Company believes that the acquisition will result in the Company gaining additional expertise and intellectual property in the clinical care area and expand the reach of its Maverick Medical Group IPA.
ApolloMed ACO and ACC are newly formed entities with limited revenues, and will require working capital to fund their operations, which may be substantial. There can be no assurance that the Company will have adequate capital to fund the operations of MMG, ApolloMed ACO, and ACC, or that they will generate sufficient cash flow in the future to fund their operations.
In October 2013 the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended on December 20, 2013) with a financing entity that provides for the Company to borrow up to $4,000,000 (see Note 5). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the line of credit for retirement of other indebtedness, working capital and general corporate purposes.

Interest expense | | $ | 178,679 | | $ | 221,239 | | $ | (42,560) | |
Interest expense decreased in 2013 due to higher discount amortization in 2012 as a result of the bifurcation of the derivative liabilities that resulted in additional debt discount and additional discount amortization for the three months ended October 31, 2012, partially offset by higher interest expense as a result of higher borrowings under Notes and Lines of Credit Payable and the 9% Convertible Notes.
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | Change | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Net loss | | $ | 1,014,646 | | $ | 4,721,401 | | $ | (3,706,755) | |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At October 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,012,290 compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,176,727 at January 31, 2013. At October 31, 2013 the Company has borrowings totaling $ 1,037,743 that mature within one year and $2,500,000 in long-term borrowings (before debt discount).
The Company incurred the following net operating loss and cash from operating activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2013:
Net operating loss | | $ | 2,885,846 | |
Cash used in operating activities | | $ | 928,745 | |
The Company’s accumulated and stockholders’ deficit at October 31, 2013 was as follows:
Accumulated deficit | | $ | 14,418,150 | |
Stockholders' deficit | | $ | 1,046,238 | |
To date the Company has funded its operations from internally generated cash flow and external sources, including the proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities which have provided funds for near-term operations and growth. In October 2013 the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended on December 20, 2013) with a financing entity that provides for the Company to borrow up to $4,000,000 (see Note 5). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the line of credit for retirement of other indebtedness, working capital and general corporate purposes. The current operating plan indicates that losses from operations may be incurred for all of fiscal 2014. Consequently, we may not have sufficient liquidity necessary to sustain operations for the next twelve months and this raises substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. On January 31, 2013 the Company raised through a private placement offering $880,000 of par value 9% Senior Subordinated Callable Convertible Promissory Notes maturing February 15, 2016 (the “9% Notes”) and through July 31, 2013 had raised an aggregate of $1.1 million in gross proceeds (see Note 5). In March, 2013, the Company initiated a private placement of up to 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price per share of $0.40 (the “Equity Offering”), and has raised $730,000 during the nine months ended October 31, 2013 (see Note 8). The Company intends to use the net proceeds after issue costs from the 9% Notes and the Equity Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
No assurances can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan. If the Company is not able to raise substantial additional capital in a timely manner, the Company may be forced to cease operations.
Nine months ended October 31, 2013
For the nine months ended October 31, 2013, cash used in operating activities was $928,745. This was the result of net losses of $3,395,878 offset by cash provided by non-cash expenses of $2,329,111 and change in working capital of $138,022. Non-cash expenses primarily include depreciation expense, issuance of shares of common stock for services, stock option compensation expense, amortization of financing costs, and amortization of debt discount.
Cash provided by working capital was due to:
Decrease in Accounts receivable | | $ | 106,525 | |
Decrease in Due from affiliates | | $ | 898 | |
Decrease in Prepaid expenses and advances | | $ | 37,240 | |
Increase in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | $ | 17,859 | |
Cash used by working capital was due to:
Increase in Other assets | | $ | (24,500) | |
For the nine months ended October 31, 2013, cash used in investing activities was $113,859 related to the Los Angeles, CA medical clinic acquisition and investment in office and technology equipment.
For the nine months ended October 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $878,167 related to $730,000 in proceeds from the issuance of common stock and $220,000 in gross cash proceeds from the issuance of 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes, partially offset by $240,000 in distributions to non-controlling interest shareholder and deferred financing costs. Borrowings were used to retire the $500,000 Senior Secured Note payable to SpaGus Apollo, LLC, to fund working capital requirements, and to fund the ACO, ACC and MMG initiatives.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical accounting policies are limited to those described in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since January 31, 2013.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 31, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company holds lines of credit with variable rate debt aggregating approximately $907,000. The impact of a 1.0% increase in interest rate in our lines of credit would be immaterial.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of October 31, 2013, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2013.
We have identified the following three material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. We do not have review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions. The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy of financial information reported. The failure to review and supervise could allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information. Due to our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or economically feasible.
Based on the foregoing material weaknesses, we have determined that, as of October 31, 2013, our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective. The Company is taking remediating steps to address each material weakness. We continue to add employees and consultants to address these issues and we will continue to broaden the scope of our accounting and billing capabilities and realign responsibilities in our financial and accounting review functions.
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 are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended October 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of our business, we become involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by our affiliated physicians. We may also become subject to other lawsuits, which could involve significant claims and/or significant defense costs.
We believe, based upon our review of pending actions and proceedings that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Omitted.
