Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements that we make from time to time, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements.

The words "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "predict", "project", "will" and similar terms and phrases are used to identify forward-looking statements in this presentation. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, without limitation, statements reflecting management’s expectations for future financial performance and operating expenditures, expected growth, profitability and business outlook, increased sales and marketing expenses, and the expected results from the integration of our acquisitions.

Forward-looking statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by such statements. These factors include:

our ability to retain our customers and revenue levels, including effectively migrating and keeping new customers acquired through business acquisitions and maintaining or growing the revenue levels of our new and existing customers;

our ability to attract and retain key officers and employees, including Mahmud Haq and personnel critical to the transitioning and integration of our newly acquired businesses;

our ability to raise capital and obtain financing on acceptable terms;

our ability to compete with other companies developing products and selling services competitive with ours, and who may have greater resources and name recognition than we have;

our ability to maintain operations in Pakistan and Poland in a manner that continues to enable us to offer competitively priced products and services;

our ability to keep and increase market acceptance of our products and services;

our ability to keep pace with a rapidly changing healthcare industry;

our ability to consistently achieve and maintain compliance with a myriad of Federal, State, foreign, local, payor and industry requirements, regulations, rules and laws;

our ability to protect and enforce intellectual property rights; and

our ability to maintain and protect the privacy of customer and patient information.

The foregoing factors are in addition to the other risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in our other SEC filings.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

Medical Transcription Billing, Corp.

Notes to CONDENSED Consolidated Financial Statements

AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 and 2015 (UnaUDITED)

Organization and Business

Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (and together with its subsidiaries, “MTBC” or the “Company”) is a healthcare information technology company that offers an integrated suite of proprietary electronic health records and practice management solutions, together with related business services, to healthcare providers. The Company’s integrated services are designed to help customers increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. The Company’s services include full-scale revenue cycle management, electronic health records, and other technology-driven practice management services to private and hospital-employed healthcare providers. MTBC has its corporate offices in Somerset, New Jersey and its main operating facilities in Islamabad, Pakistan and Bagh, Pakistan. The Company also has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Poland and small offices in 4 other states.

MTBC was founded in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2001. MTBC Private Limited (or “MTBC Pvt. Ltd.”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of MTBC based in Pakistan and was founded in 2004. MTBC owns 99.99% of the authorized outstanding shares of MTBC Pvt. Ltd. and the remaining 0.01% of the shares of MTBC Pvt. Ltd. is owned by the founder and chief executive officer of MTBC. MTBC-Europe Sp. z.o.o. (or “MTBC-Europe”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MTBC based in Poland and was founded in 2015.

LIQUIDITY

We generated net losses of $2.0 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $404,000 and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At December 31, 2015 the Company had $8 million of cash and generated positive cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company completed the integration of both the 2014 and 2015 Acquisitions and was able to reduce personnel and other costs during 2015. In addition, the Company continues to reduce expenses, with the goal of increasing positive cash flow from operations.

The Company renegotiated its bank financing during the third quarter of 2015 and obtained additional funds through a combination of term loans and a line of credit with Opus Bank, which provided additional liquidity. The term loans plus the line of credit have a combined borrowing limit of $10 million, of which all were utilized as of March 31, 2016. The term loans expire September 1, 2019 and the line of credit expires September 1, 2018, unless renewed. The Company relies on the term loans and line of credit for working capital purposes. (See Note 8.)

The Company completed a preferred stock offering in November 2015 and raised approximately $4.7 million after expenses. The preferred stock is redeemable at the Company’s option after five years, and is not subject to conversion, mandatory redemption or sinking fund provisions. Management believes that with the proceeds of the preferred stock offering and the Opus Bank financing, the Company has adequate sources of cash to fund its anticipated cash requirements from operations through the next 12 months. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, then it may be required to either raise additional capital, which might not be available on acceptable terms, or further reduce costs. These actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2016, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is authoritative guidance that implements a common revenue model that will enhance comparability across industries and requires enhanced disclosures. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under the current rules and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new standard introduces a five-step principles based process to determine the timing and amount of revenue ultimately expected to be received from the customer. The core principle of the revenue recognition standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This amendment will be effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2018 with either retrospective or modified retrospective treatment applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this may have on the consolidated financial statements upon implementation.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, other than potentially on the footnote disclosures.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). The amendments in this ASU require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Additionally, this ASU requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments in this ASU eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the guidance in this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the guidance in this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard will require organizations that lease assets — referred to as “lessees” — to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP — which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet — the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which provides for simplification of certain aspects of employee share-based payment accounting including income taxes, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, accounting for forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017 and will be applied either prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective transition approach depending on the area covered in this update. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2016-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

ACQUISITIONS

2016 Acquisition

On February 15, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Gulf Coast Billing Inc., (“GCB”) a Texas corporation and a revenue cycle management company, pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of GCB. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The aggregate preliminary purchase price for GCB was $1,680,000 which consisted of cash of $1,250,000 and contingent consideration of $430,000.

In accordance with the terms of the APA, the Company paid $1,250,000 in initial cash consideration (“Initial Payment”), on the Closing Date. In addition, the Company will pay GCB twenty-eight percent (28%) of the gross fees earned and received by the Company from the acquired GCB customers for three (3) years, less the Initial Payment (the “Installment Payments”). The Installment Payments will be paid quarterly commencing July 2016.

The above acquisition added a significant number of clients to the Company’s customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions, broadened the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff.

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist the Company in valuing the assets acquired. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation.

Allocation of Preliminary Purchase Price:

Customer relationships	$	1,100,000
Goodwill		544,000
Non-compete agreement		20,000
Tangible assets		16,000
	$	1,680,000

In connection with the purchase of GCB, the fair value of the customer relationships was established using a form of the income approach known as the excess earnings method. Under the excess earnings method, value is estimated as the present value of the benefits anticipated from ownership of the subject intangible asset in excess of the returns required on the investment in the contributory assets necessary to realize those benefits.

The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets is 3 years.

Revenues earned from GCB were approximately $376,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The goodwill from the GCB acquisition is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over 15 years and represents the Company’s ability to have a local presence in several markets throughout the United States and the further ability to expand in those markets.

2015 Acquisitions

On July 10, 2015, the Company entered into an APA with SoftCare Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which is the U.S. subsidiary of QHR Corporation (“QHR”), a publicly traded, Canada-based healthcare technology company. Pursuant to this APA, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of the RCM division of QHR Technologies, Inc. which represents SoftCare’s clearinghouse, electronic data interchange and billing divisions (collectively “SoftCare”). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The Company made an initial payment of $21,888 for SoftCare, which represented 5% of the trailing twelve months’ revenue from the customers of SoftCare (the “Acquired Customers”) less assumed liabilities totaling $58,127. In addition, on a semiannual basis for three years, the Company will pay QHR 30% of the gross fees earned and collected from the Acquired Customers (the “Revenue Share Payment”). The Company’s obligation to make Revenue Share Payments is contingent upon achieving positive cash flow from SoftCare, as defined in the APA. Additionally, after 36 months, the Company will pay QHR an amount equal to 5% of the gross fees earned and received by the Company from the Acquired Customers during the 12 month period beginning on the second anniversary of the closing date of July 10, 2015. The aggregate purchase price of $705,248 consisted of cash of $21,888, deferred revenue of $58,127 and contingent consideration of $625,233.

On August 31, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of customer contracts from Jesjam Holdings, LLC, doing business as Med Tech Professional Billing (“Med Tech”), a revenue cycle management company. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Per the terms of the purchase agreement, the amounts are based on 5% of gross fees that were earned by Med Tech during the 12 month period immediately preceding the closing date of August 31, 2015 plus 20% of gross fees that will be collected on or before the 60^th day following the end of the term for services rendered by the Company to clients during the three year period commencing on the closing date, plus 5% of gross fees that are earned and received by the Company from clients during the 12 month period commencing on the second anniversary of the closing date subject to adjustments to the purchase price. The aggregate purchase price estimate for Med Tech was $302,610 which consisted of cash of $39,316 and contingent consideration of $263,294.

Revenues earned from the SoftCare and Med Tech, collectively the (“2015 Acquisitions”) were approximately $571,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The 2015 Acquisitions were completed after March 31, 2015, so no revenue was earned from the 2015 Acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

2014 Acquisitions

On July 28, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of three revenue cycle management companies, Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC (“Omni”), Practicare Medical Management, Inc. (“Practicare”) and CastleRock Solutions, Inc. (“CastleRock”), collectively the (“2014 Acquisitions”). The GCB acquisition and the 2014 and 2015 Acquisitions are collectively referred to as the (“Acquisitions”).

Under each purchase agreement, the Company was required to issue or entitled to cancel shares issued to the 2014 Acquisitions in the event acquired customer revenues for the 12 months following the closing of the acquisition are above or below a specified threshold. As of March 31, 2016, only 248,625 shares due to Practicare remain unresolved and those shares continue to be held in escrow.

Concentrations

Financial Risks — As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held Pakistani rupees of 77,524,389, (US $740,992) and Pakistani rupees of 78,891,565 (US $750,880), respectively, in the name of its subsidiary at a bank in Pakistan. Funds are wired to Pakistan near the end of each month to cover payroll at the beginning of the next month and operating expenses throughout the month. The banking system in Pakistan does not provide deposit insurance coverage. Additionally, from time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions in the United States in excess of federal insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are managed by periodic credit evaluations of customers. The Company does not require collateral for outstanding trade accounts receivable. No one customer accounts for a significant portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable portfolio and write-offs have not been significant.

Geographical Risks — The Company’s offices in Islamabad and Bagh, Pakistan, conduct significant back-office operations for the Company. The Company has no revenue earned outside of the United States. The office in Bagh is located in a different territory of Pakistan from the Islamabad office. The Bagh office was opened in 2009 for the purpose of providing operational support and operating as a backup to the Islamabad office. The Company’s office in Poland was opened in 2015 to serve as back-up to the Pakistan offices in addition to performing specialized work. The Poland office would need to be significantly expanded to serve as a full back-up facility. The Company’s operations in Pakistan are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the United States. The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environment in Pakistan and by the general state of Pakistan’s economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, changes in Pakistan’s telecommunications industry, regulatory rules and policies, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

The carrying amounts of net assets located in Pakistan were $1,036,699 and $1,049,501 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These balances exclude intercompany receivables of $3,692,419 and $3,434,687 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The following is a summary of the net assets located in Pakistan as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2016			2015
Current assets	$	928,707		$	908,554
Non-current assets		1,319,700			1,297,294
		2,248,407			2,205,848
Current liabilities		(1,166,296	)		(1,131,306	)
Non-current liabilities		(45,412	)		(25,041	)
	$	1,036,699		$	1,049,501

The net assets located in Poland were not significant at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

NET LOss per COMMON share

The following table reconciles the weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,

Net loss attributable to common shareholders per share - Basic and Diluted	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.12	)

The unvested restricted share units (“RSUs”) have been excluded from the above calculation as they were anti-dilutive. Vested RSUs and restricted shares have been included in the above calculations.

The net loss per share-Diluted excludes both the 248,625 and 1,287,529 of contingently issued shares at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the 100,000 warrants granted to Opus Bank in September 2015 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Debt

Opus Bank — On September 2, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Opus Bank (“Opus”). Opus extended three credit facilities totaling $10 million to the Company, inclusive of the following: (1) a $4 million term loan; (2) a $2 million revolving line of credit: and (3) an additional $4 million of term loans that was subsequently issued.

The Company’s obligations to Opus are secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and 65% of the shares in its Pakistan subsidiary.

The interest rate on all Opus loans will equal the higher of (a) the prime rate plus 1.75% and (b) 5.0%. The commitment fee on the unused revolving line of credit is 0.5% per annum. The term loans mature on September 1, 2019 and the revolving line of credit will terminate on September 1, 2018, unless extended. As of March 31, 2016, all of the term loans and the line of credit have been fully utilized. Beginning October 1, 2016 the term loans require total monthly principal payments of $222,222 per month through the end of the loan period.

The Opus credit agreement contains various covenants and conditions governing the long term debt and line of credit. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants contained in the Opus credit agreement.

In connection with the Opus debt, the Company paid $100,000 of fees and issued warrants for Opus to purchase 100,000 shares of its common stock. The warrants have a strike price equal to $5.00 per share, a seven year exercise window, piggyback registration and net exercise rights. The fees paid and warrants issued to Opus were recorded as a debt discount. The warrants were classified as equity instruments and are included in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Total debt issuance costs were $602,000 and recorded as an offset to the face amount of the loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, approximately $92,000 of debt issuance costs were capitalized in connection with the final portion of the additional $4 million term loan received in the quarter. Discounts from the face amount of the loans are amortized over 4 years using the effective interest rate method. As a result of the loan discounts, the effective interest rate on the borrowings from Opus as of March 31, 2016 is approximately 7.33%.

The long term debt at March 31, 2016 is recorded at its accredited value and consists of the following:

Face amount of the loans	$	8,000,000
Unamortized debt issuance costs		536,995
Unamortized discount on loan fees		86,631
Unamortized discount of amount allocated to warrants		90,096

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In April 2014, the Company adopted the Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), reserving a total of 1,351,000 shares of common stock for grants to employees, officers, directors and consultants. As of March 31, 2016, 369,033 shares are available for grant. Permissible awards include incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock and cash-settled awards and other stock-based awards in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors including unrestricted stock grants.

The RSUs contain a provision in which the units shall immediately vest and become converted into the right to receive a cash payment payable on the original vesting date after a change in control as defined in the award agreement.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors decided there would be no cash bonuses paid to executives for 2015, and instead approved the issuance of a total of 225,000 restricted shares of common stock, with vesting contingent on meeting 2015 financial objectives, to three senior executives. The outside members of the Board were also awarded a total of 100,000 restricted shares of common stock with the same vesting. During March 2016, all of the shares vested upon the achievement of specified operating results and are included in the issued and outstanding common shares as of March 31, 2016.

The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. For RSUs classified as equity, the market price of our common stock on the date of grant is used in recording the fair value of the award. For RSUs classified as a liability, the earned amount is marked to market based on the end of period common stock price. The amount of RSUs classified as a liability was $43,750 at March 31, 2016 and is included in accrued compensation in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

INCOME TAXES

The tax provision for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $42,780 and $9,624, respectively. Due to the valuation allowance recorded against all net deferred tax assets, no income tax benefit was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The provision for the three months ended March 31 2016 and 2015 represents state minimum taxes, taxes attributable to Pakistan and for 2016, a deferred tax provision of $37,000 related to the amortization of goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes; however, it is deductible and therefore amortized over 15 years for tax purposes. As such, deferred income tax expense and a deferred tax liability arise as a result of the tax deductibility of this indefinitely-lived asset. The resulting deferred tax liability, which is expected to continue to increase over the amortization period, will have an indefinite life. This deferred tax liability could remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet indefinitely unless there is an impairment of goodwill (for financial reporting purposes) or a portion of the business is sold.

Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all Federal and state deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The Company’s plan to repatriate earnings in Pakistan to the United States requires that U.S. Federal taxes be provided on the Company’s earnings in Pakistan. For state tax purposes, the Company’s Pakistan earnings generally are not taxed due to a subtraction modification available in most states.

15.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME – NET

Other (expense) income - net for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2016			2015
Foreign exchange (loss) gain	$	(26,935	)	$	31,463
Other		24,863			14,658

Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) result from transactions related to the intercompany receivable for which transaction adjustments are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as they are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. A decrease in the exchange rate of the Pakistan rupee per U.S. dollar of 0.21% and an increase of 0.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively, caused a foreign exchange loss of $26,935 and a foreign exchange gain of $31,463 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying amounts of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values because of the short term nature of these financial instruments. Our notes payable, line of credit and term loans are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged approximates market rates.

Contingent Consideration

The Company’s contingent consideration of $1,522,206 and $1,172,508 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are Level 3 liabilities. The fair value of the contingent consideration at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was primarily driven by the price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, estimates of collected revenue and the passage of time.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the contingent consideration measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In connection with the common stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2016, the Company purchased an additional 126,270 shares of stock at an aggregate cost of $119,022 subsequent to March 31, 2016 and through May 4, 2016.

On May 2, 2016, (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an APA with Renaissance Medical Billing, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“RMB”), pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of RMB. In accordance with the APA, the Company paid $175,000 in initial cash consideration (“Initial Payment”), on the Closing Date. In addition, the Company will pay RMB twenty-seven percent (27%) of the revenue earned and received from RMB accounts for three years, less the Initial Payment which will be deducted in full from the required payments (the “Installment Payments”) before any payment is made to the seller. The Installment Payments will be paid quarterly commencing July, 2016.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

MTBC is a healthcare information technology company that provides a fully integrated suite of proprietary web-based solutions, together with related business services, to healthcare providers practicing in ambulatory settings and industry vendors. Our integrated Software-as-a-Service (or SaaS) platform is designed to help our customers increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. We employ a highly educated workforce of approximately 1,500 people in Pakistan, as of March 2016, where we believe labor costs are approximately one-half the cost of comparable India-based employees, and one-tenth the cost of comparable U.S. employees, thus enabling us to deliver our solutions at competitive prices.

Our flagship offering, PracticePro, empowers healthcare practices with the core software and business services they need to address industry challenges, including the Affordable Care Act, on one unified SaaS platform. We deliver powerful, integrated and easy-to-use ‘big practice solutions’ to small and medium practices, which enable them to efficiently operate their businesses, manage clinical workflows and receive timely payment for their services. PracticePro consists of:

Practice management software and related tools, which facilitate the day-to-day operation of a medical practice;

Electronic health records (or EHR), which are easy to use, highly ranked, and allow our customers to reduce paperwork and qualify for government incentives;

Revenue cycle management (or RCM) services, which include end-to-end medical billing, analytics, and related services; and

Mobile Health (or mHealth) solutions, including smartphone applications that assist patients and healthcare providers in the provision of healthcare services.

Adoption of our solutions requires only a modest upfront expenditure by a provider. Additionally, our financial performance is linked directly to the financial performance of our clients because the vast majority of our revenues are based on a percentage of our clients' collections. The standard fee for our complete, integrated, end-to-end solution is calculated as a percentage of a practice’s healthcare-related revenues plus a one-time setup fee, and is among the lowest in the industry.

Our growth strategy involves four primary approaches: acquiring RCM companies and then migrating the customers of those companies to our solutions, partnering with smaller RCM companies to service their customers while paying them a share of revenue received, partnering with EHR and other vendors that lack an integrated solution and integrating our solutions with their offerings and selling our solutions directly to healthcare providers practicing in ambulatory settings.

The RCM service industry is highly fragmented, with many local and regional RCM companies serving small medical practices. We believe that the industry is ripe for consolidation and that we can achieve significant growth through acquisitions and partnerships. We further believe that it is becoming increasingly difficult for traditional RCM companies to meet the growing technology and business service needs of healthcare providers without a significant investment in information technology infrastructure.

We acquired certain assets (primarily customer relationships) of two small companies during the third quarter of 2015 and one during the first quarter of 2016. We believe that one of these acquisitions may present upselling opportunities. We have also signed two revenue-sharing agreements with smaller RCM companies during the last year in which we service their customers while paying a percentage of our collections to them as a referral fee. In conjunction with these acquisitions and partnerships, we hired or retained a small number of talented employees and contractors who we are leveraging to support our growth.

We believe we will also be able to accelerate organic growth by partnering with EHR companies who do not offer revenue cycle management services, utilizing them as channel partners to offer integrated solutions to their customers. We have also entered into arrangements with industry participants including emerging EHR providers and other healthcare vendors that lack a full suite of solutions. We have developed application interfaces with several EHR systems to create integrated offerings.

Our Pakistan operations accounted for approximately 35% of total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 30% of expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016. A significant portion of those expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 82% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 79% for the three months ended March 31, 2016). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our Pakistan operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry participants. All of the companies that we acquired or signed revenue-sharing arrangements with use domestic labor or labor from higher cost locations to provide all or a substantial portion of their services. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions as we shift these domestic labor costs to Pakistan.

Key Performance Measures

We consider numerous factors in assessing our performance. Key performance measures used by management, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, are non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP.”) Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, and we provide reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share provide an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that an investor’s understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these adjusted performance measures.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin exclude the following elements which are included in GAAP Net Income (Loss):

Income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

Interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

Foreign currency gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, and asset impairment charges and other non-cash non-operating expenditures;

Stock-based compensation expense, including cash-settled awards, based on changes in the stock price;

Non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, and does not reflect any cash requirements for replacement for capital expenditures;

Integration costs, such as severance amounts paid to employees from acquired businesses or transaction costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees, exit costs related to terminating leases and other contractual agreements, and other non-recurring costs related to specific transactions; and

Changes in contingent consideration.

Set forth below is a presentation of our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015:

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share exclude the following elements which are included in GAAP Net Income (Loss):

Foreign currency gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, and asset impairment charges and other non-cash non-operating expenditures;

Stock-based compensation expense, including cash-settled awards, based on changes in the stock price;

Amortization of purchased intangible assets;

Changes in contingent consideration; and

Income tax expense resulting from the amortization of goodwill related to our acquisitions.

No tax effect has been provided in computing Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share as the Company has sufficient carry forward losses to offset the applicable income taxes. The following table shows our reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015:

End-of-period shares		10,299,343			10,945,336

For purposes of determining Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income per Share, the Company used the number of common shares outstanding at the end of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, including the shares which were issued but have not been settled and considered contingent consideration, in order to provide insight into the results considering the total number of shares which were issued at the time of the acquisitions. Accordingly, the end-of-period shares include 248,625 and 1,287,529 of contingently issuable shares at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Key Metrics

In addition to the line items in our consolidated financial statements, we regularly review the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections, make strategic business decisions, and assess market share trends and our working capital needs. We believe information from these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends in our business.

Set forth below are our key operating and financial metrics for customers using our platform, which excludes acquired customers who have not migrated to our platform. Practices using our platform accounted for approximately 71% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and approximately 79% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

First Pass Acceptance Rate: We define first pass acceptance rate as the percentage of claims submitted electronically by us to insurers and clearinghouses that are accepted on the first submission and are not rejected for reasons such as insufficient information or improper coding. Our first-time acceptance rate is 96% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016, which compares favorably to the average of the top twelve payers of approximately 94%, as reported by the American Medical Association.

First Pass Resolution Rate: First pass resolution rate measures the percentage of primary claims that are favorably adjudicated and closed upon a single submission. Our first pass resolution rate was approximately 93% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016.

Days in Accounts Receivable: Days in accounts receivable measures the median number of days between the day a claim is submitted by us on behalf of our customer, and the date the claim is paid to our customer. Our clients’ median days in accounts receivable was 34 days for primary care and 39 days for combined specialties for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the national average of 36 and 40 days, respectively, as reported by the Medical Group Management Association in 2015.

Customer Renewal Rate: Our customer renewal rate measures the percentage of our clients who were a party to a services agreement with us on January 1 of a particular year and continued to operate and be a client on December 31 of the same year. Our renewal rate for 2015 and 2014 was 79% and 85%, respectively. The renewal rate for our customers who are also users of our EHR for 2015 and 2014 was 99% and 93%, respectively. The renewal rate for our customers who are meaningful users (i.e., those who successfully attested for meaningful use and earned a bonus) of our EHR for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately 99% and 93%, respectively. The percentage of our revenue we generated during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 which came from all users of our EHR was 45% and 25%, respectively, and from meaningful users of our EHR was 13% and 14%, respectively.

Providers and Practices Served. As of March 31, 2016, we served approximately 2,000 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 800 practices. In addition, we served approximately 360 clients who were not medical practices, but are service organizations who serve the healthcare community. As of March 31, 2015, we served approximately 1,965 providers representing 910 practices.

Sources of Revenue

Revenue: We primarily derive our revenues primarily as a percentage of payments collected by our customers that use our comprehensive product suite, which includes revenue cycle management as well as the ability to use our electronic health records and practice management software as part of the bundled fee. These payments accounted for approximately 86% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and approximately 95% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

On July 28, 2014, the Company acquired Omni Medical Billing Services, LLC, Practicare Medical Management, Inc. and CastleRock Solutions, Inc., collectively the (“2014 Acquisitions”). On July 10, 2015, the Company acquired SoftCare Solutions, Inc. and on August 31, 2015, the Company acquired Med Tech Professional Billing, collectively referred to as the (“2015 Acquisitions”). On February 15, 2016, the Company acquired Gulf Coast Billing Inc., (“GCB”). The GCB acquisition and the 2014 and 2015 Acquisitions are collectively referred to as the (“Acquisitions”). Our plan is to move customers acquired through acquisitions to our operating platform in order to increase efficiencies.

Operating Expenses

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating cost consists primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our customers, claims processing costs, and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, commissions, travel and advertising expenses.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs and third-party contractor costs.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, occupancy and insurance, software license fees and outside professional fees.

Contingent Consideration. Contingent consideration at March 31, 2016 represents the value of shares in escrow, pending release to the seller of one of the 2014 Acquisitions, and payment to the sellers of the 2015 Acquisitions and the GCB acquisition. As of December 31, 2015, the contingent consideration was payable to the sellers of the 2015 Acquisitions and one of the sellers of the 2014 Acquisitions. Since a final agreement has not been reached with one of the sellers of the 2014 Acquisitions, the shares are being held in escrow and have been included in the contingent consideration liability as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation expense is charged using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Amortization expense is charged on either an accelerated or on a straight-line basis over a period of three years for most intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions.

Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our working capital line of credit and term loans, offset by interest income and late fees from customers. Our other income (expense) results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains (losses).

Income Tax. We estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against all deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense and related disclosures. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience, current trends and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

We believe that the accounting policies are those policies that involve the greatest degree of complexity and exercise of judgment by our management. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,				Change
	2016		2015		Amount			Percent
Revenues	$	5,109,849	$	6,137,859	$	(1,028,010	)		(17	%)

Revenue. Total revenue of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $1.0 million or 17% from revenue of $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to $1.8 million of less revenue from customers acquired in the 2014 Acquisitions, which was primarily offset by revenues associated with the 2015 Acquisitions and a revenue share agreement entered into in 2015.

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,						Change
	2016			2015			Amount			Percent
Direct operating costs	$	2,301,379		$	3,546,456		$	(1,245,077	)		(35	%)

Total operating expenses	$	6,914,301		$	7,304,994		$	(390,693	)		(5	%)

Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating costs of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, decreased by $1.2 million or 35% from direct operating costs of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 salary cost in the U.S. decreased by $794,000 or 54% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 as the number of employees decreased from 78 at March 31, 2015 to 69 on March 31, 2016.

Salary cost in Pakistan decreased by $306,000 or 27% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as a result of reducing the number of employees in Pakistan with the reduction in revenue. Referral fees from revenue share arrangements decreased by $81,000 or 74% and subcontractor costs, which were $54,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, did not exist in the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense of $344,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, increased by $223,000 or 185% from selling and marketing expense of $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This is primarily related to an increased investment in marketing, business development and sales resources to expand our market share and building on our existing customer base. As a result, the Company hired additional sales personnel and transferred existing personnel into sales and marketing roles which resulted in higher selling and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $232,000 or 7% from general and administrative expense of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The integration of the 2014 and 2015 Acquisitions was completed resulting in expense reductions related to the closing of offices and reducing third party expenses such as computer expenses, accommodation costs, office costs, and insurance expenses.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense of $191,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by $26,000 or 16% from research and development expense of $165,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as a result of adding additional technical employees in Pakistan.

Contingent Consideration. The change in the contingent consideration of $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 represents the decrease in the liability reflecting the value of Practicare shares which have not been released from escrow, resulting from a decrease in the price of the Company’s common stock during the period. The change in the contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $829,000 and included both a $696,000 decrease in the value of the contingent consideration recorded as a liability due to a decrease in the price of the Company’s stock during that period and a gain of $133,000 related to CastleRock’s forfeiture of shares.

Depreciation. Depreciation of $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by $24,000 or 25% from depreciation of $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as a result of the Company purchasing additional fixed assets.

Amortization Expense. Amortization expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was comparable with the amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, amortization expense from the 2015 Acquisitions and the acquisition of GCB was offset by certain intangibles acquired in prior years becoming fully amortized.

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,						Change
	2016			2015			Amount			Percent
Interest income	$	7,076		$	6,914		$	162			2	%
Interest expense		(141,358	)		(42,186	)		(99,172	)		235	%
Other (expense) income – net		(2,072	)		46,121			(48,193	)		(104	%)
Income tax provision		42,780			9,624			33,156			345	%

Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was consistent with the amount of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as it primarily represents late payment fees from customers.

Interest expense. Interest expense of $141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by $99,000 or 235% from interest expense of $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily as a result of the new Opus Bank term loans plus the revolving line of credit effective September 2, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company utilized all of its $10 million Opus credit facility compared with a $3.0 million line of credit with TD Bank during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Other (expense) income - net. Other (expense) income - net of $(2,100) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $48,000 or 104% from other income - net of $46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Other (expense) income - net primarily relates to changes in the foreign exchange rates for the intercompany balances.

Income tax provision. There was a $43,000 income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $33,000 or 345% compared to the provision for income taxes of $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Included in the March 31, 2016 tax provision is a $37,000 deferred income tax provision related to the amortization of goodwill. The pre-tax loss increased from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred three years of cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against all deferred tax assets at March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our cash flows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(403,627	)	$	(1,297,314	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,352,646	)		(83,588	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		1,064,005			1,530,173
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		19,808			(11,988	)
Net (decrease) increase in cash		(672,460	)		137,283

The Company completed a preferred stock offering in November 2015 and raised approximately $4.7 million of net proceeds. In September, 2015, the Company received financing $10 million credit facility from Opus Bank, including an initial $4.0 million term loan and a $2.0 million revolving line of credit. The proceeds of the term line were used to repay the TD line of credit and other notes payable. Additional term loans totaling $4.0 million from Opus Bank were received in late 2015 and in March 2016. With the cost reductions we have achieved and anticipated cash flows from operations, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our working capital and capital expenditures requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Due to operating losses, the Company relies on the term loans and line of credit until it returns to consistently generating positive cash flows from operations. In order for us to grow and successfully execute our business plan which includes future acquisitions, we may require additional financing which may not be available or may not be available on acceptable terms. If such financing is available in the form of equity, existing stockholders may see their percentage ownership diluted. If such financing is available in the form of debt, such debt will be senior to the claims of the existing stockholders. Failure to obtain financing when needed may have a material adverse effect on our financial position. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support the operation or growth of our business could be significantly impaired and our operating results may be harmed.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $404,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1.3 million of cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The net loss increased by $818,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily caused by a non-cash gain of $784,000 from the change in contingent consideration liability in the three months ended March 31, 2015. There was also $54,000 of additional depreciation and amortization and $363,000 of additional stock-based compensation. Cash operating expenses decreased by $201,000 more than the decline in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Accounts receivable increased by $238,000, compared with decrease in accounts receivable of $46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses increased by $61,000, compared with a decrease of $400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in accounts receivable was related to the decrease in revenue. Other current assets and prepaid expenses decreased by $31,000 compared with an increase of $108,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.4 million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to $84,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to the initial payment of $1.25 million for the GCB acquisition. This amount will be deducted evenly from each of the 12 quarterly payments required to be made to the seller beginning in July 2016. The quarterly payments will be based on 28% of revenue.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.1 million, compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The cash provided by financing activities in 2016 includes $2.0 million of additional term loan borrowings from Opus Bank, offset by $238,000 repayment of acquisition seller financing, $159,000 of preferred stock dividends and $427,000 of repurchases of common stock. The amount for 2015 represented primarily borrowings on the former TD Bank line of credit and $255,000 of repayment of acquisition seller financing. Average monthly borrowings from our revolving line of credit were $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $311,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Our line of credit with Opus expires on September 1, 2018. As of March 31, 2016, $2.0 million was drawn on the line. Our term loans with Opus mature on September 1, 2019 and require monthly principal payments commencing October 1, 2016 of $222,000 per month through the end of the loan period.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We have contractual obligations under our borrowings from Opus Bank and unsettled contingent consideration in connection with the Acquisitions. We also maintain operating leases for property and certain office equipment. For additional information, see Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Other than our operating leases for office space, computer equipment and other property, we do not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17C.F.R. 229.10(f) (1) and are not required to provide information under this item, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016 as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of December 31, 2015, management had not completely remediated the previously disclosed material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for certain complex financial transactions, and the design and operating effectiveness of the financial reporting and closing process, in particular around the information technology. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company engaged an independent tax consultant to assist with the review of complex tax transactions and began utilizing Oracle E-Business instead of QuickBooks. The Company also began testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the control procedures which have been implemented over the past year. The Company concluded that these efforts should remediate the previously noted material weakness, upon completion of its testing for operating effectiveness.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2016 our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than management’s remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 (f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity and reputational harm, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Pursuant to the instructions of Item 1A of Form 10-Q, a smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
