Supplemental Schedule of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities

We acquired equipment and certain leasehold improvements for approximately $9.1 million and $9.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, that we had not paid for as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The offsetting amount due was recorded in our consolidated balance sheet under accounts payable and accrued expenses.
As discussed in Note 6, as a result of our debt refinancing completed on April 6, 2010, our interest rate swaps are no longer effective.  Accordingly, all changes in their fair value after April 6, 2010 are, and will continue to be recognized in earnings as other income.
Detail of investing activity related to acquisitions can be found in Note 4.

RADNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

At September 30, 2011, we operated a group of regional networks comprised of 212 diagnostic imaging facilities located in six states with operations primarily in California, Maryland, Florida, Delaware, New Jersey and New York.  We provide diagnostic imaging services including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology, or X-ray, fluoroscopy and other related procedures. The Company’s operations comprise a single segment for financial reporting purposes.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radnet Management, Inc. (“Radnet Management”) and Beverly Radiology Medical Group III, a professional partnership (“BRMG”).  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also include Radnet Management I, Inc., Radnet Management II, Inc.,  Radiologix, Inc., Radnet Management Imaging Services, Inc., Delaware Imaging Partners, Inc., New Jersey Imaging Partners, Inc. and Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc. ( “ DIS ” ), all wholly owned subsidiaries of Radnet Management.  All of these affiliated entities are referred to collectively as “RadNet”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” in this report.
Accounting Standards Codification Section 810-10-15-14 stipulates that generally any entity with ( a) insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, or ( b) equity holders that, as a group, lack the characteristics specified in the Codification which evidence a controlling financial interest, is considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”).  We consolidate all voting interest entities in which we own a majority voting interest and all VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE through a qualitative analysis that identifies which variable interest holder has the controlling financial interest in the VIE. The variable interest holder who has both of the following has the controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In performing our analysis, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the design and activities of the VIE, the terms of the contracts the VIE has entered into, the nature of the VIE’s variable interests issued and how they were negotiated with or marketed to potential investors, and which parties participated significantly in the design or redesign of the entity.

Howard G. Berger, M.D. is our President and Chief Executive Officer, a member of our Board of Directors and owns approximately 14.5% of our outstanding common stock. Dr. Berger also owns, indirectly, 99% of the equity interests in BRMG. BRMG provides all of the professional medical services at the majority of our facilities located in California under a management agreement with us, and employs physicians or contracts with various other independent physicians and physician groups to provide the professional medical services at most of our other California facilities. We generally obtain professional medical services from BRMG in California, rather than provide such services directly or through subsidiaries, in order to comply with California’s prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine. However, as a result of our close relationship with Dr. Berger and BRMG, we believe that we are able to better ensure that medical service is provided at our California facilities in a manner consistent with our needs and expectations and those of our referring physicians, patients and payors than if we obtained these services from unaffiliated physician groups. BRMG is a partnership of ProNet Imaging Medical Group, Inc. (99%), Breastlink Medical Group, Inc. (100%) and Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Inc. (99%), each of which are 99% or 100% owned by Dr. Berger.  RadNet provides non-medical, technical and administrative services to BRMG for which it receives a management fee, per the management agreement. Through the management agreement and our relationship with Dr. Berger, we have exclusive authority over all non-medical decision making related to the ongoing business operations of BRMG. Through our management agreement with BRMG we determine the annual budget of BRMG and make all physician employment decisions.  BRMG has insignificant operating assets and liabilities, and de minimis equity.  Through the management agreement with us, all of BRMG’s cash flows are transferred to us.  We have determined that BRMG is a variable interest entity, and that we are the primary beneficiary, and consequently, we consolidate the operations of BRMG.
BRMG recognized $12.8 million and $40.6 million of net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $14.0 million and $40.6 million of operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  BRMG recognized $12.9 million and $38.6 million of net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $14.1 million and $38.6 million of operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

8

RadNet recognized $48.9 million and $147.8 million of net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $48.4 million and $137.9 million of net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, for management services provided to BRMG relating primarily to the technical portion of total billed revenue.  The cash flows of BRMG are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The creditors of BRMG do not have recourse to our general credit and we do not believe other arrangements would expose us to material losses.  However, BRMG is managed to recognize no net income or net loss and, therefore, RadNet may be required to provide financial support to cover any operating expenses in excess of operating revenues.  BRMG is a guarantor on certain of RadNet’s debt as described below under Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Aside from centers in California where we contract with BRMG for the provision of professional medical services, at the remaining centers in California and at all of the centers which are located outside of California, we have entered into long-term contracts with independent radiology groups in each area to provide physician services at those facilities.  These third party radiology practices provide professional services, including supervision and interpretation of diagnostic imaging procedures, in our diagnostic imaging centers.  The radiology practices maintain full control over the provision of professional services. The contracted radiology practices generally have outstanding physician and practice credentials and reputations; strong competitive market positions; a broad sub-specialty mix of physicians; a history of growth and potential for continued growth.  In these facilities we enter into long-term agreements with radiology practice groups (typically 40 years). Under these arrangements, in addition to obtaining technical fees for the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services, we provide management services and receive a fee based on the practice group’s professional revenue, including revenue derived outside of our diagnostic imaging centers.  We own the diagnostic imaging equipment and, therefore, receive 100% of the technical reimbursements associated with imaging procedures.  The radiology practice groups retain the professional reimbursements associated with imaging procedures after deducting management service fees.  We have no financial controlling interest in the independent (non-BRMG) radiology practices; accordingly, we do not consolidate the financial statements of those practices in our consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Significant accounting policies
As of the period covered in this report, there have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies we use, and have explained, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a working capital balance of $29.2 million and $5.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  We had net income attributable to RadNet, Inc.’s common stockholders of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We had a net loss attributable to RadNet, Inc.’s common stockholders of $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  We also had an equity deficit of $76.2 million and $82.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations.  In addition to operations, we require a significant amount of capital for the initial start-up and development expense of new diagnostic imaging facilities, the acquisition of additional facilities and new diagnostic imaging equipment, and to service our existing debt and contractual obligations.  Because our cash flows from operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with third parties.
9

Our business strategy with regard to operations focuses on the following:
·
maximizing performance at our existing facilities;
·
focusing on profitable contracting;
·
expanding MRI, CT and PET applications;
·
optimizing operating efficiencies; and
·
expanding our networks.
On April 6, 2010, we completed a series of transactions which we refer to as our "debt refinancing plan" for an aggregate of $585.0 million.  As part of the debt refinancing plan, our wholly owned subsidiary Radnet Management, Inc. issued and sold $200.0 million in 10 3/8% senior notes due 2018 (the "senior notes"). All payments of the senior notes, including principal and interest, are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RadNet, Inc. and all of Radnet Management’s current and future domestic wholly owned restricted subsidiaries. The senior notes were issued under an indenture, dated April 6, 2010, by and among Radnet Management, as issuer, RadNet, Inc., as parent guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors thereof and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in a private placement that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The senior notes initially issued on April 6, 2010 in a private placement were subsequently publicly offered for exchange enabling holders of the outstanding senior notes to exchange the outstanding notes for publicly registered exchange notes with nearly identical terms.  The exchange offer was completed on February 14, 2011.

In addition to the issuance of senior notes, Radnet Management entered into a new Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the "New Credit Agreement"), whereby Radnet Management obtained $385.0 million in senior secured first-lien bank financing, consisting of (i) a $285.0 million, six-year term loan facility and (ii) a $100.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility, including a swing line subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility (collectively, the “New Credit Facilities”). Radnet Management’s obligations under the New Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by RadNet, Inc., all of Radnet Management’s current and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries as well as certain affiliates, including Beverly Radiology Medical Group III and its equity holders (Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Inc., BreastLink Medical Group, Inc. and ProNet Imaging Medical Group, Inc.). These New Credit Facilities created by the New Credit Agreement are secured by a perfected first-priority security interest in all of Radnet Management’s and the guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, including, but not limited to, pledges of equity interests of Radnet Management and all of our current and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries.

In connection with the issuance of the outstanding notes and entering into the New Credit Agreement, Radnet Management used the net proceeds from the issuance of the outstanding notes and the New Credit Facilities created by the New Credit Agreement to repay in full its existing first lien term loan for $242.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, which would have matured on November 15, 2012, and its second lien term loan for $170.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, which would have matured on November 15, 2013.

At September 30, 2011, Radnet Management had $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of publicly registered senior notes outstanding, $280.7 million of senior secured term loan debt outstanding and $31.3 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

NOTE 2 — SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
The following tables present unaudited interim condensed consolidating financial information for: (a) RadNet, Inc. (the “Parent”) on a stand-alone basis as a guarantor of the publicly registered senior notes due 2018 ; (b) Radnet Management, Inc., the subsidiary issuer (the “Subsidiary Issuer”) of the publicly registered senior notes due 2018; (c) on a combined basis, the guarantor subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) of the publicly registered senior notes due 2018, which include all other 100% owned subsidiaries of the Subsidiary Issuer; (d) on a combined basis, the non-guarantor subsidiaries, which include joint venture partnerships of which the Subsidiary Issuer holds investments of 50% or greater, as well as BRMG, which we consolidate as a variable interest entity. Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Issuer or the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantee by the Parent and each Guarantor Subsidiary is full and unconditional, joint and several. In lieu thereof, the Parent includes the following:

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations.  The primary risk managed by us using derivative instruments is interest rate risk.  We have in the past entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure.  The interest rate swap agreements utilized by us effectively modified our exposure to interest rate risk by converting our floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis during the period of the interest rate swap, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense.
At inception, we designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of floating-rate borrowings.  In accordance with ASC Topic 815, derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments are reported at fair value. The gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge (i.e., change in fair value) is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of equity deficit. The remaining gain or loss, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. Unrealized gain or loss on the change in fair value of interest rate swaps that do not qualify as hedges are recognized in earnings.

As a result of our refinancing and the New Credit Agreement and the issuance of the Notes completed on April 6, 2010, our interest rate swaps do not match the terms of our current bank debt and so accordingly, we have determined that they are no longer designated as cash flow hedges.  Accordingly, all changes in their fair value after April 6, 2010 are, and will continue to be recognized in earnings.

The related Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCL) of $3.1 million associated with the negative fair values of these interest rate swaps on April 6, 2010, the date of our refinancing, is being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense through November 15, 2012, the maturity date of these cash flow hedges.  From April 6, 2010 to September 30, 2011, approximately $1.8 million of AOCL was amortized to interest expense bringing the remaining balance of AOCL to $1.2 million at September 30, 2011.  As of April 6, 2010, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was a negative $10.4 million.

At September 30, 2011 the negative fair value of these interest rate swaps was $6.8 million and was classified as other non-current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized approximately $3.7 million in other income related to the change in fair value of these interest rate swaps.

NOTE 7 – INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

We have eight unconsolidated joint ventures with ownership interests ranging from 25% to 50%. These joint ventures represent partnerships with hospitals, health systems or radiology practices and were formed for the purpose of owning and operating diagnostic imaging centers.  Professional services at the joint venture diagnostic imaging centers are performed by contracted radiology practices or a radiology practice that participates in the joint venture.  Our investment in these joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method.   Investment in joint ventures increased $1.8 million to $17.3 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $15.5 million at December 31, 2010.  This increase is primarily related to our recording of equity earnings of $6.1 million as well as additional equity contributions of $1.5 million offset by distributions received during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $6.4 million, of which $610,000 relates to a declared dividend distribution recorded as other receivables as of December 31, 2010.
We received management service fees from the centers underlying these joint ventures of approximately $1.7 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $5.1 million and $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and eliminated the portion of the fees earned associated with our ownership from our net revenue with an offsetting increase to our equity earnings.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Incentive Plans

We have two long-term incentive plans that currently have outstanding stock options which we refer to as the 2000 Plan and the 2006 Plan. The 2000 Plan was terminated as to future grants when the 2006 Plan was approved by the stockholders in 2006.  As of September 30, 2011, we have reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan 11,000,000 shares of common stock. Certain options granted under the 2006 Plan to employees are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under existing tax regulations. In addition, we may issue non-qualified stock options and warrants under the 2006 Plan from time to time to non-employees, in connection with acquisitions and for other purposes and we may also issue stock under the 2006 Plan. Stock options and warrants generally vest over two to five years and expire five to ten years from date of grant.
As of September 30, 2011, 4,555,917, or approximately 66.4%, of all the outstanding stock options and warrants under our option plans are fully vested.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we granted options and warrants to acquire 1,290,000 shares of common stock.
We have issued warrants outside the 2006 Plan under various types of arrangements to employees, and in exchange for outside services.  All warrants issued to employees or consultants after our February 2007 listing on the NASDAQ Global Market have been characterized as awards under the 2006 Plan.  All warrants outside the 2006 Plan have been issued with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The warrants expire from five to seven years from the date of grant.  Vesting terms are determined by the board of directors or the compensation committee of the board of directors at the date of grant.
As of September 30, 2011, 2,316,232, or approximately 92.5%, of all the outstanding warrants outside the 2006 Plan are fully vested.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we did not grant warrants outside of our 2006 Plan.
The following summarizes all of our option and warrant transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between our closing stock price on September 30, 2011 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holder had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2011. Total intrinsic value of options and warrants exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $605,650 and $923,900, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested employee awards was approximately $3.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years.

23

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account as of the grant date the exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. The following is the average of the data used to calculate the fair value:
Risk-free

Interest Rate

1.62%
3.4 years
91.94% -
September 30, 2010
2.17%
3.2 years
89.92% -
Because we lack detailed information about exercise behavior at this time, we have determined the expected term assumption under the “Simplified Method” as defined in ASC Topic 718, originally issued as SAB No. 110. The expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant with an equivalent remaining term. We have not paid dividends in the past and do not currently plan to pay any dividends in the near future.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options and warrants granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1.92 and $1.46, respectively.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We utilize a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, receivables, trade accounts payable, capital leases, long-term debt and other liabilities.  We consider the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets and current liabilities to approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization or payment.  Additionally, we consider the carrying amount of our capital lease obligations to approximate their fair value because the weighted average interest rate used to formulate the carrying amounts approximates current market rates.
At September 30, 2011, based on Level 2 inputs primarily related to comparable market prices, we determined the fair values of our senior secured term loan and our senior unsecured notes, both issued on April 6, 2010, to be $268.1 million and $170.0 million, respectively.  The carrying amount of the senior secured term loan and the senior unsecured notes at September 30, 2011 was $280.7 million and $200.0 million, respectively.
The Company maintains interest rate swaps which are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At September 30, 2011 the fair value of these swaps of a liability of $6.8 million was determined using Level 2 inputs.  More specifically, the fair value was determined by calculating the value of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the interest rate swaps and the counterparty’s forward LIBOR curve, which would be the input used in the valuations.  The forward LIBOR curve is readily available in the public markets or can be derived from information available in the public markets.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted, without material impact on its consolidated financial statements, the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820 related to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which include those measured at fair value including goodwill impairment testing, indefinite-lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment, nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment, asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value, and those initially measured at fair value in a business combination.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 7, 2011, we executed an agreement to acquire American Radiology Services and The Imaging Institute, owners and operators of 15 diagnostic imaging centers in Maryland (two of which are held in joint ventures with hospital partners), one center in Delaware and five centers in Rhode Island.  We purchased the operations for approximately $38.0 million in aggregate consideration, consisting of approximately $26.0 million in cash, $9.0 million in a note payable to the seller and approximately $3.0 million of assumed debt.  In addition, as part of the transaction, approximately $5.5 million of debt obligations was assumed within the two Maryland joint ventures.  The acquisition will substantially increase the size of our Maryland and Delaware presence from 61 centers to 77 centers and provide us with a new market platform in Rhode Island, from which we can grow.

In conjunction with the acquisition on November 8, RadNet has increased the size of its senior secured revolving credit facility by $21.25 million (“Incremental Commitments”), to $121.25 million of total borrowing capacity.  The increase in the facility size is to provide additional borrowing availability to fund acquisitions and general working capital needs.  The Incremental Commitments is part of the RadNet’s existing revolving credit facility.  Under the Incremental Commitments, we may request the interest rate be based upon LIBOR (subject to a 2% LIBOR floor) plus an applicable LIBOR margin of 4.25%.  The securing of the Incremental Commitments increased the applicable LIBOR margin on the existing $100 million revolving credit facility to 4.25% from 3.75%.

Overview
With 212 centers, as of September 30, 2011, located in California, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Florida, and New York, we are the leading national provider of freestanding, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services in the United States based on number of locations and aggregate annual imaging revenue. Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, often minimizing the cost and amount of care for patients. Our services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures. The vast majority of our centers offer multi-modality imaging services, a key point of differentiation from our competitors. Our multi-modality strategy diversifies revenue streams, reduces exposure to reimbursement changes and provides patients and referring physicians one location to serve the needs of multiple procedures.


26


We seek to develop leading positions in regional markets in order to leverage operational efficiencies. Our scale and density within selected geographies provides close, long-term relationships with key payors, radiology groups and referring physicians. Each of our facility managers is responsible for managing relationships with local physicians and payors, meeting our standards of patient service and maintaining profitability. We provide corporate training programs, standardized policies and procedures and sharing of best practices among the physicians in our regional networks.

We derive substantially all of our revenue, directly or indirectly, from fees charged for the diagnostic imaging services performed at our facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we performed 2,728,721 diagnostic imaging procedures and generated net revenue from continuing operations of $452.7 million.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radnet Management, Inc. ("Radnet Management") and Beverly Radiology Medical Group III, a professional partnership ("BRMG").  The consolidated financial statements also include Radnet Management I, Inc., Radnet Management II, Inc.,  Radiologix, Inc., Radnet Management Imaging Services, Inc., Delaware Imaging Partners, Inc., New Jersey Imaging Partners, Inc. and Diagnostic Imaging Services, Inc. ("DIS"), all wholly owned subsidiaries of Radnet Management.  All of these affiliated entities are referred to collectively as “RadNet”, “we”, “us,” “our” or the “Company” in this report.

Accounting Standards Codification Section 810-10-15-14 stipulates that generally any entity with (a) insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any other entity, or (b) equity holders that, as a group, lack the characteristics specified in the Codification which evidence a controlling financial interest, is considered a Variable Interest Entity (VIE).  We consolidate all VIEs in which we own a majority voting interest and all VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE through a qualitative analysis that identifies which variable interest holder has the controlling financial interest in the VIE. The variable interest holder who has both of the following has the controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In performing our analysis, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the design and activities of the VIE, the terms of the contracts the VIE has entered into, the nature of the VIE’s variable interests issued and how they were negotiated with or marketed to potential investors, and which parties participated significantly in the design or redesign of the entity.

Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements that were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.  Management makes estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including:
·
our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial statements;
·
our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements; and
·
our reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations during the
reporting periods.
These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management’s control.  As a result, actual amounts could differ materially from these estimates.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, defines critical accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.  In Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we discuss our significant accounting policies, including those that do not require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates.  The most significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates are described below.

During the period covered in this report, there were no material changes to the critical accounting estimates we use, and have described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Revenue Recognition
Our consolidated net revenue consists of net patient fee for service revenue and revenue from capitation arrangements, or capitation revenue.  Net patient service revenue is recognized at the time services are provided net of contractual adjustments based on our evaluation of expected collections resulting from the analysis of current and past due accounts, past collection experience in relation to amounts billed and other relevant information.  The amount of expected collection is continually adjusted as more information is received and such adjustments are recorded in current operations.  Contractual adjustments result from the differences between the rates charged for services performed and reimbursements by government-sponsored healthcare programs and insurance companies for such services.  Capitation revenue is recognized as revenue during the period in which we were obligated to provide services to plan enrollees under contracts with various health plans. Under these contracts, we receive a per-enrollee amount each month covering all contracted services needed by the plan enrollees.
Accounts Receivable
Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients.  Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers.  We continuously monitor collections from our payors and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon specific payor collection issues that we have identified and our historical experience.
Depreciation and Amortization of Long-Lived Assets
We depreciate our long-lived assets over their estimated economic useful lives with the exception of leasehold improvements where we use the shorter of the assets useful lives or the lease term of the facility for which these assets are associated.
Deferred Tax Assets
We evaluate the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assess the valuation allowance periodically.  If future taxable income or other factors are not consistent with our expectations, an adjustment to our allowance for net deferred tax assets may be required.  For net deferred tax assets we consider estimates of future taxable income, including tax planning strategies in determining whether our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
Valuation of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill at September 30, 2011 totaled $153.9 million. Goodwill is recorded as a result of business combinations. Management evaluates goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which uses comparable market data. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.  We tested goodwill for impairment on October 1, 2010.  Based on our test, we noted no impairment related to goodwill as of October 1, 2010. However, if estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill.  No indications of impairment were noted at September 30, 2011.
We evaluate our long-lived assets (property and equipment) and definite-lived intangibles for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. The accounting standards require that if the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows from a long-lived asset or definite-lived intangible is less than the carrying value of that asset, an asset impairment charge must be recognized. The amount of the impairment charge is calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which generally represents the discounted future cash flows from that asset or in the case of assets we expect to sell, at fair value less costs to sell. No indicators of impairment were identified with respect to our long-lived assets as of September 30, 2011.

Industry Trends

For services for which we bill Medicare directly, we are paid under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, which is updated on an annual basis. Under the Medicare statutory formula, payments under the Physician Fee Schedule would have decreased for the past several years if Congress failed to intervene. For example, for 2008, the fee schedule rates were to be reduced by approximately 10.1%. The Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 eliminated the 10.1% reduction for 2008 and increased the annual payment rate update by 0.5%. This increase to the annual Medicare Physician Fee Schedule payment update was effective only for Medicare claims with dates of service between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2008. Beginning July 1, 2008, under the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA), the 0.5% increase was continued for the rest of 2008. In addition, MIPPA established a 1.1% increase to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule payment update for 2009.


29


For 2010, CMS projected a rate reduction of 21.2% in the absence of Congressional intervention. However, over the course of the first six months of 2010, various temporary solutions were enacted by Congress which resulted in delaying any such change to the physician fee schedule. Ultimately, a 2.2% increase in the conversion factor was passed by Congress effective June 1, 2010, further delaying the pending 21.2% conversion factor reduction to November 30, 2010. On November 29, 2010, the calendar year 2011 physician fee schedule final rule with comment period was published in the Federal Register. The rule updates payment policies and Medicare payment rates under the Medicare physician fee schedule for physicians’ services and would have significantly reduced physician fee schedule payments in 2011 had Congress not acted by passing the Physician Payment and Therapy Relief Act of 2010 and the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010, which together continue the 2.2% update from June 2010 through December 31, 2011. Foe 2012, CMS projects a rate reduction of 29.5% from 2011. While Congress has historically provided temporary relief from the formula-driven reductions in the conversion factor, it cannot be guaranteed that Congress will act to provide relief in the future.   The failure of Congress to act could adversely impact our revenues and results of operation.
MIPPA also modified the methodology by which the budget neutrality formula was applied to the 2009 physician fee schedule payment rates, resulting in an overall reduction in payment rates for services performed by many specialties, including an estimated 1% reduction for nuclear medicine. The impact of the payment rates on specific companies depends on their service mix. Also with respect to MIPPA, the legislation requires all suppliers that provide the technical component of diagnostic MRI, PET/CT, CT, and nuclear medicine to be accredited by an accreditation organization designated by CMS (which currently include the ACR, the IAC and The Joint Commission) by January 1, 2012. Our MRI, CT, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and mammography facilities are currently accredited by the ACR.

A number of other legislative changes impact our retail business. For example, beginning on January 1, 2007, the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) imposed caps on Medicare payment rates for certain imaging services furnished in physician’s offices and other non-hospital based settings. Under the cap, payments for specified imaging services cannot exceed the hospital outpatient payment rates for those services. The limitation is applicable to the technical components of the diagnostic imaging services only, which is the payment we receive for the services for which we bill directly under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. CMS issues on an annual basis the hospital outpatient prospective payment rates, which are used to develop the caps. If the technical component of the service established under the Physician Fee Schedule (without including geographic adjustments) exceeds the hospital outpatient payment amount for the service (also without including geographic adjustments), then the payment is to be reduced. In other words, in those instances where the technical component for the particular service is greater for the non-hospital site, the DRA directs that the hospital outpatient payment rate be substituted for the otherwise applicable Physician Fee Schedule payment rate.

The DRA also codified the reduction in reimbursement for multiple images on contiguous body parts, which was previously announced by CMS. The DRA mandated payment at 100% of the technical component of the higher priced imaging procedure and 50% for the technical component of each additional imaging procedure for multiple images of contiguous body parts within a family of codes performed in the same session. Initially, CMS announced that it would phase in this reimbursement reduction over a two-year period, to include a 25% reduction for each additional imaging procedure on contiguous body parts in 2006 and an additional 25% reduction in 2007. CMS did not implement the additional 25% reduction scheduled for 2007, but for services furnished on or after July 1, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) requires the full 50% reduction to be implemented.  In the 2012 Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule, CMS is proposing to expand the reduction to the reduction to the professional component of advanced imaging services.

Regulatory updates to payment rates for which we bill the Medicare program directly are published annually by CMS. For payments under the Physician Fee Schedule for calendar year 2010, CMS changed the way it calculates components of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. First, CMS reduced payment rates for certain diagnostic services using equipment costing more than $1 million through revisions to usage assumptions from the current 50% usage rate to a 90% usage rate. This change applied to MRI and CT scans. However, for certain diagnostic services performed on or after January 1, 2011, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 reduces the assumed usage rate for such equipment from CMS’s current rate of 90% to a rate of 75%, resulting in an increase in payment rates for such services.

Recent global market and economic conditions have been unprecedented. Concerns about the potential long-term and widespread recession, inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the United States mortgage market and a declining real estate market in the United States have contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for the United States economy. These conditions, combined with declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have contributed to unusual volatility. At this time, it is unclear what impact this might have on our future revenues or business.


30


As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. If market conditions continue, they may limit our ability to timely access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs, resulting in adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $150.8 million compared to $140.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $10.8 million, or 7.7%.

Net revenue, including only those centers which were in operation throughout the third quarters of both 2011 and 2010, decreased $2.1 million, or 1.5%.  This 1.5% decrease is primarily the result of a similar percentage decrease in procedure volumes resulting from appointment cancelations at certain east coast centers due to hurricane Irene as well as the August 23 rd earthquake.  This comparison excludes revenue contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010.  For the three months ended September 3 0 , 2011, net revenue from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $14.3 million.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, net revenue from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $1.4 million.

Operating Expenses

Cost of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased approximately $11.1 million, or 10.4%, from $106.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $117.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The following table sets forth our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Salaries and professional reading fees, excluding stock-based compensation and severance

Salaries and professional reading fees, excluding stock-based compensation, increased $8.5 million, or 14.5%, to $66.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $58.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Salaries and professional reading fees, including only those centers which were in operation throughout the third quarters of both 2011 and 2010, increased $3.1 million, or 5.4%.  This 5.4% increase is primarily due to expansion of our existing Breastlink centers.  This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $6.0 million.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $659,000.


32


Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation decreased $83,000, or 10.5%, to $709,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $792,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The decrease is primarily due to a larger number of options granted during the first three quarters of 2010 that vested on date of grant compared to the same period of 2011.

Building and equipment rental

Building and equipment rental expenses increased $801,000, or 6.4%, to $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Building and equipment rental expenses, including only those centers which were in operation throughout the third quarters of both 2011 and 2010, decreased $173,000, or 1.4%.  This decrease is primarily due to the buy-out of certain equipment leases subsequent to July 1, 2010.  This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, building and equipment rental expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $1.2 million.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, building and equipment rental expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $171,000.

Medical supplies

Medical supplies expense increased $620,000, or 7.9%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Medical supplies expense, including only those centers which were in operation throughout the third quarters of both 2011 and 2010, increased $74,000, or 1.0%.  This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, medical supplies expense from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $611,000.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, medical supplies expense from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to July 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $65,000.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million, or 10.0%, to $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to property and equipment additions for existing centers as well as newly acquired centers.

Provision for bad debts

Provision for bad debts increased $150,000, or 1.8%, to $8.6 million, or 5.7% of net revenue, for the three months ended September 3 0 , 2011 compared to $8.5 million, or 6.0% of net revenue, for the three months ended September 3 0 , 2010.

Loss (gain) on sale and disposal of equipment

We recorded a net gain on disposal of equipment of approximately $331,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily related to the difference between the net book value of certain equipment damaged in a fire at one of our imaging facilities and insurance proceeds we received from claims filed on this damaged equipment.


33


Interest expense

Interest expense increased approximately $461,000, or 3.6%, to $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included $719,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs as well as $306,000 of amortization of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss associated with fair value adjustments to our interest rate swaps accumulated prior to April 6, 2010, the date of our debt refinancing.  Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 included $710,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs as well as $305,000 of amortization of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss associated with fair value adjustments to our interest rate swaps accumulated prior to April 6, 2010, the date of our debt refinancing.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for more details on our debt refinancing.

Other expenses (income)

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded approximately $1.5 million of other income primarily related to fair value adjustments on our interest rate swaps.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded approximately $821,000 of other expenses related to fair value adjustments on our interest rate swaps.

Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures

For the three months ended September 3 0 , 2011, we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.8 million compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 3 0 , 2010.  This decrease is primarily due to a change in estimated collection rates applied to revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2011.


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the nine months ended September 3 0 , 2011 was $452.7 million compared to $403.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $49.5 million, or 12.3%.

Net revenue, including only those centers which were in operation throughout the first nine months of both 2011 and 2010 increased $5.7 million, or 1.5%.  This 1.5% increase is primarily the result of a similar percentage increase in procedure volumes.   This comparison excludes revenue contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010.  For the nine months ended September 3 0 , 2011, net revenue from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $62.3 million.  For the nine months ended September 3 0 , 2010, net revenue from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $18.5 million .

Operating Expenses

Cost of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased approximately $41.2 million, or 13.2%, from $311.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $352.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The following table sets forth our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Salaries and professional reading fees, excluding stock-based compensation and severance

Salaries and professional reading fees increased $24.7 million, or 14.4%, to $196.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $171.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Salaries and professional reading fees, including only those centers which were in operation throughout the first nine months of both 2011 and 2010, increased $4.5 million, or 2.8%.  This 2.8% increase is primarily due to expansion of our existing Breastlink centers.  This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired of divested subsequent to January 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $29.0 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, salaries and professional reading fees from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $8.8 million.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation decreased $321,000, or 11.4%, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The decrease is primarily due to a larger number of options granted during the first three quarters of 2010 that vested on the date of grant compared to the same period of 2011.

Building and equipment rental

Building and equipment rental expenses increased $4.3 million, or 12.0%, to $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $35.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Building and equipment rental expenses, including only those centers which were in operation throughout the first nine months of both 2011 and 2010, increased $924,000, or 2.8%.  This 2.8% increase in primarily due to new equipment leases entered into subsequent to September 30, 2010 offset in part by equipment lease buy-outs occurring in the third quarter of 2011.  This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, building and equipment rental expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $5.5 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, building and equipment rental expenses from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $2.2 million.

Medical supplies

Medical supplies expense increased $2.1 million, or 9.1%, to $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Medical supplies expenses, including only those centers which were in operation throughout the first nine months of both 2011 and 2010, increased $512,000, or 2.3%.  This 2.3% increase is in line with the increase in our procedure volumes . This comparison excludes contributions from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, medical supplies expense from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $2.4 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, medical supplies expense from centers that were acquired or divested subsequent to January 1, 2010 and excluded from the above comparison was $806,000.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $2.4 million, or 5.9%, to $42.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to property and equipment additions for existing centers as well as newly acquired centers.

Provision for bad debts

Provision for bad debts increased $658,000, or 2.8%, to $25.3 million, or 5.6% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 3 0 , 2011 compared to $24.6 million, or 6.1% of net revenue, for the nine months ended September 3 0 , 2010.  This increase is primarily due to our increase in revenue.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased approximately $3.8 million, or 10.8%, to $39.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $2.2 million of amortization of deferred financing costs as well as $918,000 of amortization of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss associated with fair value adjustments to our interest rate swaps accumulated prior to April 6, 2010, the date of our debt refinancing.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included $2.1 million of amortization of deferred financing costs as well as $611,000 of amortization of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss associated with fair value adjustments to our interest rate swaps accumulated prior to April 6, 2010, the date of our debt refinancing.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for more details on our debt refinancing.  Excluding these adjustments to interest expense for each period, interest expense increased $3.4 million.  This increase was primarily due to interest expense on the additional borrowings under the debt refinancing completed April 6, 2010.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a $9.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to our debt refinancing completed on April 6, 2010.  This loss included $7.6 million write-off of deferred financing costs associated with our GE debt settled on April 6, 2010 as well as approximately $2.3 million to settle a call premium associated with our prior credit facilities and for interest rate swap related expenses.

Other expenses (income)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded approximately $3.6 million of other income primarily related to fair value adjustments on our interest rate swaps.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded approximately $2.0 million of other expenses related to fair value adjustments on our interest rate swaps.

Income tax expense

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded $948,000 and $523,000, respectively, for income tax expense primarily related to taxable income generated in the states of California, Maryland and Delaware.

Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures

For the nine months ended September 3 0 , 2011, we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $6.1 million compared to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 3 0 , 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA

We use both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure our financial results.  We believe that, in addition to GAAP metrics, these non-GAAP metrics assist us in measuring our cash generated from operations and ability to service our debt obligations.  We believe this information is useful to investors and other interested parties because we are highly leveraged and our non-GAAP metrics removes non-cash and certain other charges that occur in the affected period and provides a basis for measuring the Company's financial condition against other quarters.

One non-GAAP measure we believe assists us is Adjusted EBITDA.  We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations and exclude losses or gains on the disposal of equipment, other income or loss, loss on debt extinguishments, bargain purchase gains and non-cash equity compensation.  Adjusted EBITDA includes equity earnings in unconsolidated operations and subtracts allocations of earnings to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries, and is adjusted for non-cash or extraordinary and one-time events taking place during the period.

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss) attributable to RadNet, Inc. common stockholders .   Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used as an analytical indicator by us and the healthcare industry to assess business performance, and is a measure of leverage capacity and ability to service debt.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following is a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had a working capital balance of $29.2 million and $5.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  We had net income attributable to RadNet, Inc.’s common stockholders of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We had a net loss attributable to RadNet, Inc.’s common stockholders of $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  We also had an equity deficit of $76.2 million and $82.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations.  In addition to operations, we require a significant amount of capital for the initial start-up and development expense of new diagnostic imaging facilities, the acquisition of additional facilities and new diagnostic imaging equipment, and to service our existing debt and contractual obligations.  Because our cash flows from operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with third parties.

37

Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our credit agreement, will be adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Our future liquidity requirements will be for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and general corporate purposes. Our ability to meet our working capital and debt service requirements, however, is subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we are not able to meet such requirements, we may be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing from other sources on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
From time to time, we may pursue acquisitions, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We expect to fund any future acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including borrowing from amounts available under our current credit agreement or through new equity or debt issuances. There can be no assurance that acquisition funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

We and our subsidiaries or affiliates may from time to time, in our or their sole discretion, continue to purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. However, we have no formal plan of doing so at this time.

Our business strategy with regard to operations focuses on the following:
·
maximizing performance at our existing facilities;
·
focusing on profitable contracting;
·
expanding MRI, CT and PET applications;
·
optimizing operating efficiencies; and
·
expanding our networks.
On April 6, 2010, we completed a series of transactions which we refer to as our "debt refinancing plan" for an aggregate of $585.0 million.  As part of the debt refinancing plan, our wholly owned subsidiary Radnet Management, Inc. issued and sold $200.0 million in 10 3/8% senior notes due 2018 (the "senior notes"). All payments of the senior notes, including principal and interest, are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RadNet, Inc. and all of Radnet Management’s current and future domestic wholly owned restricted subsidiaries. The senior notes were issued under an indenture, dated April 6, 2010, by and among Radnet Management, as issuer, RadNet, Inc., as parent guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors thereof and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in a private placement that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The senior notes initially issued on April 6, 2010 in a private placement were subsequently publicly offered for exchange enabling holders of the outstanding senior notes to exchange the outstanding notes for publicly registered exchange notes with nearly identical terms.  The exchange offer was completed on February 14, 2011.

In addition to the issuance of senior notes, Radnet Management entered into a new Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the "New Credit Agreement"), whereby Radnet Management obtained $385.0 million in senior secured first-lien bank financing, consisting of (i) a $285.0 million, six-year term loan facility and (ii) a $100.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility, including a swing line subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility (collectively, the “New Credit Facilities”). Radnet Management’s obligations under the New Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by RadNet, Inc., all of Radnet Management’s current and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries as well as certain affiliates, including Beverly Radiology Medical Group III and its equity holders (Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Inc., BreastLink Medical Group, Inc. and ProNet Imaging Medical Group, Inc.). These New Credit Facilities created by the New Credit Agreement are secured by a perfected first-priority security interest in all of Radnet Management’s and the guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, including, but not limited to, pledges of equity interests of Radnet Management and all of our current and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries.

In connection with the issuance of the outstanding notes and entering into the New Credit Agreement, Radnet Management used the net proceeds from the issuance of the outstanding notes and the New Credit Facilities created by the New Credit Agreement to repay in full its existing first lien term loan for $242.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, which would have matured on November 15, 2012, and its second lien term loan for $170.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, which would have matured on November 15, 2013.


38


At September 30, 2011, Radnet Management had $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes outstanding, $280.7 million of senior secured term loan debt outstanding and $31.3 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility.  For a detailed discussion of the relevant terms and restrictive covenants of the senior notes and the New Credit Facilities, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants under the notes and the New Credit Facilities.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash provided by operating activities was $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $50.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Cash used in investing activities was $46.4 million and $67.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we purchased property and equipment for approximately $34.3 million and acquired the assets and businesses of additional imaging facilities for approximately $13.7 million.  Also, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we received insurance proceeds of approximately $2.7 million for equipment damaged in a fire at one of our imaging centers.

Cash provided by financing activities was $11.9 million and $31.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily related to proceeds from borrowings on our line of credit offset in part by payments we made toward our term loans, capital leases and line of credit balances, as well as $4.9 million of cash payments, net of cash receipts, related to our modified cash flow hedges.

ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. We sell our services exclusively in the United States and receive payment for our services exclusively in United States dollars.  As a result, our financial results are unlikely to be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency, exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.

We currently maintain research and development facilities in Prince Edward Island, Canada and Budapest, Hungary for which expenses are paid in the local currency. Accordingly, we do have currency risk resulting from fluctuations between such local currency and the United States Dollar.  At the present time, we do not have any foreign exchange currency contracts to mitigate this risk.  Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could impact future operating results.
Interest Rate Sensitivity. A large portion of our interest expense is not sensitive to changes in the general level of interest in the United States because much of our indebtedness has interest rates that were fixed when we entered into the note payable or capital lease obligation. Our credit facility however, which is classified as a long-term liability on our financial statements, is interest expense sensitive to changes in the general level of interest in the United States because it is priced at a 3.75% spread to the greater of 2%   (“LIBOR Floor”) or 3 month LIBOR.  At September 30, 2011, we had $312.0 million outstanding under our credit facilities.  Because the LIBOR Floor exceeds the current spot rate of 3 month LIBOR (currently at about 37 basis points), the spot rate of 3 month LIBOR would have to increase by more than 163 basis points before we would recognize any increase in our interest expense.  The LIBOR rate would have to increase by 263 basis points for us to realize a 1% increase in our borrowing rate under our current credit facility and for us to experience an annual increase of $3.1 million in our interest expense.

ITEM 4.
Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, on a timely basis; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their intended purpose described above.


39


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1
Legal Proceedings

We are engaged from time to time in the defense of lawsuits arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of our business. We believe that the outcome of our current litigation will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  However, we could be subsequently named as a defendant in other lawsuits that could adversely affect us.

ITEM 1A
Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, we urge you to carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.  The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company and include additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial as of the date of this report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 5
Other Information
As previously reported, on April 6, 2010, Radnet Management entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., GE Capital Markets, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain other lenders, pursuant to which Radnet Management obtained $385 million in senior secured bank financing, consisting of a $285 million, six-year term loan facility and a $100 million, five-year revolving credit facility.

On November 8, 2011, the parties entered into a first amendment and joinder agreement to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which the revolving credit facility was increased by $21.5 million (the “Incremental Commitments”) to $121.5 million of total borrowing capacity. The increase in the facility size is to provide additional borrowing availability to fund acquisitions and general working capital needs. As a result of the amendment, the existing revolving credit facility, including the Incremental Commitments, is a floating rate facility, and we may request the interest rate be based upon LIBOR (subject to a 2% LIBOR floor) plus an applicable LIBOR margin of 4.25% (an increase from 3.75%).
