BUSINESS
|
Overview
Digirad delivers convenient, effective, and efficient healthcare solutions on an as needed, when needed, and where needed basis. Our diverse portfolio of mobile healthcare solutions and medical equipment and services, including diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring, provides hospitals, physician practices, and imaging centers throughout the United States access to technology and services necessary to provide exceptional patient care in the rapidly changing healthcare environment.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that our competitive strengths are our streamlined and cost efficient approach to providing healthcare solutions to our customers at the point of need as well as providing an array of industry-leading, technologically relevant healthcare imaging products and monitoring services:
Imaging Services and Products
|
•
|
Broad Portfolio of Imaging Services.
Approximately
76%
of our revenues are derived from provision of diagnostic imaging services to our customers. Based on this, we have developed and continue to refine an industry leading, customer service focused approach to all our customers. We have found our focus in this area is a key factor in acquiring and keeping our service-based customers.
|
|
•
|
Unique Dual Sales and Service Offering.
For the majority of our businesses, we offer a service-based model to our customers, allowing them to avoid making costly capital and logistical investments required to offer these services internally, as well as the ability to sell the underlying capital equipment directly to our customers should their needs change and they desire to provide services on their own with the underlying capital equipment. This ability to serve our customers in a variety of capacities from selling equipment directly, or providing more flexibility through a service-based model, allows us to serve our customers according to their exact needs, as well as the ability to capture both ends of the revenue spectrum.
|
|
•
|
Utilization of Highly Trained Staff.
We recruit and maintain highly trained staff for our clinical and repair services, which in turn allows us to provide superior and more efficient services.
|
|
•
|
Leading Solid-State Technology.
Our solid-state gamma cameras utilize proprietary photo-detector modules that enable us to build smaller and lighter cameras that are portable, with a degree of ruggedness that can withstand the vibration associated with transportation. Our dedicated cardiac imagers require a floor space of as little as seven feet by eight feet, can generally can be installed without facility renovations, and use standard power. Our portable cameras are ideal for mobile operators or practices desiring to service multiple office locations or imaging facilities.
|
Strategy
We seek to grow our business by, among other things:
Organic growth from our core businesses.
We believe that we operate in markets and geographies that will allow us to continue to grow our core businesses, allowing us to benefit from our scale and strengths. We plan to focus our efforts on markets in which we already have a presence in order to take advantage of personnel, infrastructure, and brand recognition we have in these areas.
Introduction of new services.
We plan to continue to focus on healthcare solutions related businesses that deliver necessary assets, services and logistics directly to the customer site. We believe that over time we can either purchase or develop new and complementary businesses and take advantage of our customer loyalty and distribution channels.
Acquisition of similar or complementary businesses.
We plan to continue to look at similar or complementary businesses that meet our internally developed financially disciplined approach for acquisitions to grow our company. We believe there are many potential targets in the range of $3 million to $10 million in annual revenues that can be acquired over time and integrated into our businesses. We will also look at larger, more transformational acquisitions if we believe the appropriate mix of value, risk and return is present for our shareholders.
History of our Business
We have grown both organically and through acquisitions over the last three years. The following table provides a summary of the acquisitions over the last three years:

Diagnostic Services
Nuclear and Ultrasound Imaging Services.
Through Diagnostic Services, we offer a convenient and economically efficient imaging services program as an alternative to purchasing equipment or outsourcing the procedures to another physician or imaging center. For physicians who wish to perform nuclear imaging, echocardiography, vascular or general ultrasound tests, or any combination of these procedures in their offices, we provide the ability for them to engage our services, which includes the use of our imaging system, qualified personnel, radiopharmaceuticals, licensing services, and logistics required to perform imaging in the their own offices, and thereby the ability for these customers to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for those services, which are primarily cardiac in nature. The flexibility of our products and services allows physicians to ensure continuity of care and convenience for their patients, and allows them to retain revenue from procedures they would otherwise refer to imaging centers and hospitals. We provide imaging services primarily to cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, and family practice doctors who typically enter annual contracts for a set number of days ranging from once per month to five times per week. Many of our physician customers are reliant on reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party insurers. Although reimbursement for procedures provided by our services have been stable during the last several years, any future changes to underlying reimbursements may require modifications to our current business model in order for us to maintain a viable economic model.
Our portable nuclear and ultrasound imaging operations utilize a “hub and spoke” model in which centrally located regional hubs anchor multiple van routes in the surrounding metropolitan areas. At these hubs, clinical personnel load the equipment, radiopharmaceuticals, and other supplies onto specially equipped vans for transport to customer locations, where they set up the equipment for the day. After quality assurance testing, a technologist under the physician’s supervision will gather patient information, inject the patient with a radiopharmaceutical, and then acquire images for interpretation by the physician. At the conclusion of the day of service, all equipment and supplies are removed from the customer location and transported back to the central hub location. Our model relies on density and customer concentration to allow for efficiencies and maximum profitability, and therefore we are only located in geographies where there is a high concentration of people, cardiac disease and associated likely customer locations.
For our nuclear imaging services, we have obtained Intersocietal Accreditation Commission ("IAC") and Intersocietal Commission for Echocardiography Laboratories ("ICAEL") accreditation for our services. Our licensing infrastructure provides radioactive materials licensing, radiation safety officer services, radiation safety training, monitoring and compliance policies and procedures, and quality assurance functions, to ensure adherence to applicable state and federal nuclear regulations.
Cardiac Event Monitoring Services
We also offer within Diagnostic Services remote cardiac event monitoring services through our Telerhythmics business. These services include provision of a monitor, remote monitoring by registered nurses, and 24 hours a day, 7 days a week monitoring support for our patients and physician customers. We offer modalities of mobile cardiac telemetry ("MCT"), mobile cardiac event monitoring (both in wireless and analog versions), holter monitoring, and pacemaker analysis. Providing these services offers flexibility and convenience to our customers who do not have to incur the costs of staffing, equipment, and logistics to monitor patients as part of their standard of care.
Our monitoring service operates out of a centralized monitoring center located near Memphis, Tennessee. From this location, the majority of monitoring equipment is shipped directly to patient homes once they are enrolled in our service. Patients hook up the equipment with easy to follow instructions, as well as assistance from our monitoring center. Once they are hooked up to the monitoring device, patients are monitored for a period of time ranging from 7 to 30 days. At the conclusion of the monitoring period, the equipment is packaged up and sent back to our monitoring center, after which the equipment is redeployed to the next patient.
Our cardiac event monitoring services are provided primarily through an independent diagnostic testing facility model that allows us to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for services provided, and is the only business at Digirad that bills Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance directly. As such, our cardiac event monitoring services are directly subject to reimbursements from these entities which are subject to change on a periodic basis. Typically, our contracts can be canceled at any time, and are generally present to create understanding on billing responsibilities.
4
Mobile Healthcare
Through our Mobile Healthcare segment, we provide contract sales services and diagnostic imaging, including computerized tomography ("CT"), magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI"), positron emission tomography ("PET"), PET/CT, and nuclear medicine and healthcare expertise to hospitals, integrated delivery networks ("IDN"s), and federal institutions on a long-term contract basis, as well as provisional (short-term) services to institutions that are in transition. These services are provided primarily when there is a cost, ease, and efficiency component of providing the services directly rather than owning and operating the related equipment directly by our customers.
Our Mobile Healthcare operations operate throughout the United States, with a heavier concentration in rural areas, particularly in the Upper Midwest region of the United States. We have a range of customer types, but our most typical customer is a small or regional hospital that does not have enough volume of activity to justify owning a piece of imaging equipment on a full-time basis. Our services typically offer the diagnostic imaging equipment, placed in a large patient friendly coach or tractor-trailer, coupled with either an owned or operator-owned tractor, that is then transported to each customer location. Our mobile routes are designed to provide for maximum utilization and efficiency by allowing our units to travel to the next customer location during non-working hours of a typical imaging clinic, meeting our technical staff at each location. Our customers commit to annual contracts ranging from service once every two weeks to up to two days of service per week, depending on modality type and their local demand for services.
Diagnostic Imaging
Through our Diagnostic Imaging segment, we sell our internally developed solid-state gamma camera imaging systems and camera maintenance contracts. Our imaging systems include nuclear cardiac imaging systems, as well as general purpose nuclear imaging. We sell our imaging systems to physician offices and hospitals primarily in the United States, although we have sold a small number of imaging systems internationally. Our imaging systems are sold in both portable and fixed configurations, provide enhanced operability and improved patient comfort, fit easily into floor spaces as small as seven feet by eight feet, and facilitate the delivery of nuclear medicine procedures in a physician’s office, an outpatient hospital setting, or within multiple departments of a hospital (e.g., emergency and operating rooms). Our Diagnostic Imaging segment revenues derive primarily from selling solid-state gamma cameras and camera maintenance contracts.
The central component of a nuclear camera is the detector, which ultimately determines the overall clinical quality of images a camera produces. Our nuclear cameras feature detectors with advanced proprietary solid-state technology developed by us. Solid-state systems have a number of benefits over conventional photomultiplier tube-based camera designs typically offered by our competitors. Our solid-state technology systems are typically 2 to 5 times lighter and considerably more compact than most traditional nuclear systems, making them far easier and less costly to build, very reliable, and able to be utilized for mobile applications. We are a market leader in the mobile solid-state nuclear camera segment.
We believe our current imaging systems, with their state-of-the-art technology and robust underlying patents, will continue to be relevant for the foreseeable future. We will continue to enhance and adjust our existing systems for the changing nuclear imaging market, including software updates and smaller enhancements. However, to accomplish any significant changes and enhancements, we will utilize what we believe is a deep available pool of contract engineers on a flexible, as needed basis and do not maintain a staff research and development department, thereby eliminating the fixed costs of a fully staffed research and development department.
Medical Device Sales and Services
Through our Medical Device Sales and Services segment, we provide contract sales services, as well as warranty and post-warranty services, under our exclusive contract with Philips Healthcare within a defined region in the upper Midwest region of the United States.
We primarily sell Philips branded imaging systems, including CT, MRI, PET, PET/CT systems, ultrasound and patient monitoring systems, and receive a commission on these sales. For our equipment sales, we do not take title to the underlying equipment; it is delivered directly to the end user by Philips. For much of the equipment sold, we receive a separate commission once the equipment is installed, and then an underlying commission for warranty services.
Our agreement with Philips expires on March 28, 2019, but can be terminated on a 180-day written notice by either party for any reason, and can be terminated by Philips if certain compliance requirements are not met. If terminated, Philips has right of first refusal to buy the service-oriented operations at fair market value.

Market Opportunity
Diagnostic imaging depictions of the internal anatomy or physiology are generated primarily through non-invasive means. Diagnostic imaging facilitates the early diagnosis of diseases and disorders, often minimizing the scope, cost, and amount of care required and reducing the need for more invasive procedures. Currently, the major types of non-invasive diagnostic imaging technologies available are: x-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, PET, and nuclear imaging. The most widely used imaging acquisition technology utilizing gamma cameras is single photon emission computed tomography, or SPECT. All our current internally-developed cardiac gamma cameras employ SPECT technology.
Cardiac event monitoring is a diagnostic test that allows physicians to see the electrocardiogram ("ECG") of a patient’s heart rhythm over a period of time or related to a specific event. The test includes a small monitor that is worn on the patient’s waist and is connected to lead wires affixed to the patient’s chest. The purpose of this test is to capture infrequent heart conditions that may only be experienced outside a physician’s office, as well as to observe the state of the heart in various resting and active situations.
Diagnostic imaging is the standard of care in diagnosis of diseases and disorders. We offer, through our businesses, the majority of these diagnostic imaging modalities. All of the diagnostic imaging modalities that we offer (both from provision of services and product sales) have been consistently utilized in clinical applications for many years, and are stable in their use and need. By offering a wide array of these modalities, we believe that we have strategically diversified our operations in possible changing trends of utilization of one diagnostic imaging modality from another.
Competition
The market for diagnostic products and services is highly competitive. Our business, which is focused primarily on the private practice and hospital sectors, continues to face challenges of demand for diagnostic services and imaging equipment, which we believe is due in part to the impact of the Deficit Reduction Act on the reimbursement environment and the 2010 Healthcare Reform laws, as well as general uncertainty in overall healthcare and legislative changes in healthcare, such as the Affordable Care Act. These challenges have impacted, and will likely continue to impact, our operations. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include acceptance by hospitals and physicians, relationships that we develop with our customers, budget availability for our capital equipment, requirements for reimbursement, pricing, ease-of-use, reliability, and mobility.
Diagnostic Services.
In providing Diagnostic Services imaging services, we compete against many smaller local and regional nuclear and/or ultrasound providers, often owner-operators that may have lower operating costs. The fixed-installation operators often utilize older, used equipment, and the mobile operators may use older Digirad single-head cameras or newer dual-head cameras. We are the only mobile provider with our own exclusive source of triple-head mobile systems. Some competing operators place new or used cameras into physician offices and then provide the staffing, supplies, and other support as an alternative to a Diagnostic Services service contract. In addition, we compete against imaging centers that install fixed nuclear gamma cameras and make them available to referring physicians in their geographic vicinity. In these cases, the physician sends their patients to the imaging center.
In providing cardiac event monitoring services, we compete against many smaller local and regional service providers, as well as a few larger, more well established medical device companies that provide devices and a service model similar to ours. We believe our advantage in this market is our ability to utilize almost any cardiac event device on the market in the United States, and not being constrained by using any particular device. However, our larger competitors have larger sales forces and deeper financial resources that may allow them to be more cost effective. Further, larger competitors may develop devices that may make our owned devices obsolete, causing us to suffer financial losses as we attempt to change our technology and service model to adapt.
Diagnostic Imaging.
In selling our imaging systems, we compete against several large medical device manufacturers who offer a full line of imaging cameras for each diagnostic imaging technology, including x-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, or SPECT/CT and PET/CT hybrid imagers. The existing nuclear imaging systems sold by these competitors have been in use for a longer period of time than internally developed nuclear gamma cameras, and are more widely recognized and used by physicians and hospitals for nuclear imaging; however, they are generally not solid-state, lightweight, as flexible, or portable. Additionally, certain medical device companies have developed a version of solid-state gamma cameras that may directly compete with our product offerings. Many of the larger multi-modality competitors enjoy significant competitive advantages over us, including greater brand recognition, greater financial and technical resources, established relationships with healthcare professionals, broader distribution networks, more resources for product development and marketing and sales, and the ability to bundle products to offer discounts.
Mobile Healthcare.
The market for selling, servicing and operating diagnostic imaging services, patient monitoring equipment and imaging systems is highly competitive. In providing our Mobile Healthcare services, we compete against a few large national and regional providers. In addition to direct competition from other providers of services similar to those offered by us, we compete
6
with freestanding imaging centers and health care providers that have their own diagnostic imaging systems, as well as with equipment manufacturers that sell imaging equipment directly to healthcare providers for permanent installation. Some of the direct competitors, which provide contract MRI and PET/CT services, have access to greater financial resources than we do. In addition, some of our customers are capable of providing the same services we provide to their patients directly, subject only to their decision to acquire a high-cost diagnostic imaging system, assume the financial and technology risk, and employ the necessary technologists, rather than obtain equipment and services from us. We may also experience greater competition in states that currently have certificate of need laws if such laws were repealed, thereby reducing barriers to entry and competition in those states. We also compete against other similar providers in quality of services, quality of imaging systems, relationships with health care providers, knowledge and service quality of technologists, price, availability, and reliability.
Medical Device Sales and Services.
Through our relationship with Philips Healthcare, we provide contract sales services for larger imaging systems and patient monitoring systems, as well as certain post warranty service contracts within a defined region in the upper Midwest region of the United States. For the imaging systems, we compete directly with other well established healthcare products companies in the United States and throughout the world that sell similar devices that may have a differing array of features and benefits that exceed the Philips products that we sell. Further, these competitors may have greater manufacturing capacity, reach and sales forces relative to the region we sell in, providing a competitive advantage.
For our post warranty service contracts, we compete with a variety of smaller and larger independent service providers that may pay their field staff lower wages, utilize used parts instead of OEM parts and fail to provide the training we provide. Competing with these entities sometimes puts us at a cost and price disadvantage.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws, nondisclosure agreements, and other measures to protect our intellectual property. We require our employees, consultants, and advisors to execute confidentiality agreements and to agree to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived during the workday, using our property, or which relate to our business. Despite any measures taken to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.
Patents
We have developed a patent portfolio that covers our products, components, and processes. We have 30 issued U.S. patents. The patents cover, among other things, aspects of solid-state radiation detectors, including our photodiodes, signal processing, and system configuration. Our issued patents expire between June 28, 2016 and August 27, 2030. We have multiple patents covering unique aspects and improvements for many of our products. We have entered into royalty-bearing licenses for several U.S. patents with third parties, where we are the licensee, for exclusive or non-exclusive use in nuclear imaging (subject to certain reservation of rights by the U.S. Government). While each of our patents applies to nuclear medicine, many also apply to the construction of area detectors for other types of medical and non-medical imagers and imaging methods.
Trademarks and Copyrights
We hold a variety of trademark registrations and copyrights in the United States for our product sales and mobile operations.
Raw Materials
Diagnostic Imaging.
We and our contract manufacturers use a wide variety of materials, metals, and mechanical and electrical components for production of our nuclear imaging gamma cameras. These materials are primarily purchased from external suppliers, some of which are single-source suppliers. Materials are purchased from selected suppliers based on quality assurance, cost effectiveness, and constraints resulting from regulatory requirements, and we work closely with our suppliers to assure continuity of supply while maintaining high quality and reliability. Global commodity supply and demand can ultimately affect pricing of certain of these raw materials. Though we believe we have adequate available sources of raw materials, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to access the quantity of raw material needed to sustain operations, as well as at a cost-effective price.
Diagnostic Services and Mobile Healthcare.
Our Diagnostic Services and Mobile Healthcare operations utilize radiopharmaceuticals for our nuclear services. The underlying raw material for creation of the array of doses utilized in nuclear medicine is produced from a total of five main production facilities throughout the world, typically from highly enriched uranium resources. Prior to 2016, there were a total of six of these world sources; one source, Chalk River, Canada, ceased its production of these raw materials as planned in 2016. The remaining resources are expected to produce enough raw materials to address the global market, but there continues to be pressure to utilize low or non-enriched uranium resources to produce the underlying nuclear doses. There are several early stage ventures that are working on these types of technologies, including one in which we have a small investment. See Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information on our investment in Perma-Fix Medical, S.A.
7
Medical Device Sales and Services.
Our relationship with Philips for sales of medical equipment includes our reliance on their supply chain to produce the underlying equipment we are selling. As such, Philips, as a large global company, is subject to a variety of underlying raw material constraints on its equipment production. Ultimately, as a distributor of Philips equipment, we are subject to these same constraints.
Manufacturing
Diagnostic Imaging.
We manufacture our nuclear imaging cameras by employing a strategy that combines our internal design expertise and proprietary process technology with highly qualified contract manufacturers. The majority of the components of our nuclear imaging cameras are produced by contract manufacturers, whereas the most complex components and final assembly and final system performance tests are performed at our facility. All of our outsourced suppliers of critical materials, components, and subassemblies undergo ongoing quality audits by us.
We and our contract manufacturers are subject to FDA Quality System Regulations, state regulations, and standards set by the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO. We are currently certified to the EN ISO 13485:2012 quality standard. We have received certification authorizing CE Marking of our Cardius® XPO, Cardius® X-ACT, and ergoTM gamma cameras, as well as U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") 510(k) clearance for our complete nuclear imaging camera product line. The CE Mark is a requirement for selling in many international markets. In addition, the X-ACT camera utilizes an x-ray technology to provide attenuation correction information for the SPECT reconstruction. We also have received FDA Indications for Use for our ergoTM LFOV General Purpose Imager for molecular breast imaging.
Reimbursement
Our only businesses that bills Medicare, Medicaid and private payors directly is our cardiac event monitoring services business; however, all of our customers typically rely primarily on the Medicare and Medicaid programs and private payors for reimbursement. As a result, demand for our products and services are dependent in part on the coverage and reimbursement policies of these payors. Third party coverage and reimbursement is subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign regulation, and private payor rules and policies. In many instances, the applicable regulations, policies, and rules have not been definitively interpreted by regulatory authorities or the courts, are open to a variety of interpretations, and are subject to change without notice.
The scope of coverage and payment policies vary among third-party private payors. For example, some payors will not reimburse a provider unless the provider has a contract with the payor, and in many instances such payors will not enter into such contracts without the approval of a third party “radiology benefit manager” that the payor compensates based on reducing the payor’s imaging expense. Other payors prohibit reimbursement unless physicians own or lease our cameras on a full-time basis, or meet certain accreditation or privileging standards. Such payor requirements and limitations can significantly restrict the types of business models we can successfully utilize.
Medicare reimbursement rules are subject to annual changes that may affect payment for services that our customers provide. In addition, Congress has passed healthcare reform proposals that are intended to expand the availability of healthcare coverage and reduce the growth in healthcare spending in the U.S. Many of these laws affect the services that our customers provide, and could change further over time.
Medicare reimbursement rules impose many standards and policies on the payment of services that our customers provide. For instance, physicians billing for the technical component of nuclear imaging tests must be accredited by a government-approved independent accreditation body and many private payors are adopting similar requirements. We offer our customers a service to assist them in obtaining and maintaining the required accreditation. We believe we have structured our contracts in a manner that allows our customers to seek reimbursement from third-party payors in compliance with Medicare reimbursement rules. Our physician customers typically bill for both the technical and professional components of the tests. Assuming they meet certain requirements including, but not limited to, performing and documenting bona fide interpretations and providing the requisite supervision of the non-physician personnel performing the tests, they may bill and be paid by Medicare. If the failure to comply is deemed to be “knowing” or “willful,” the government could seek to impose fines or penalties, and we may be required to restructure our agreements and/or respond to any resultant claims by such customers or the government. Our hospital customers typically seek reimbursement by Medicare for outpatient services under the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System.
Sales
We maintain separate sales organizations that are aligned with each of our business units, which operate independently but in cooperation with each other. Mobile Healthcare sales efforts are throughout the United States and Canada, though there typically is more effort expended in rural and smaller hospital areas, as these are the primary customers that we sell our services to and provide the most value. Diagnostic Services concentrates its efforts on twelve regional areas where the majority of our business is concentrated based on concentrations of people and cardiac disease. Diagnostic Imaging sales efforts are conducted throughout the United States and certain foreign countries, and are not concentrated to any particular region or area within the United States
8
as the customer profile for this business can be at any hospital or physician practice. Diagnostic Services and Diagnostic Imaging, though separate sales teams, work collaboratively to help fulfill customer needs in either small practice mobile nuclear cardiac imaging services, or the potential to provide capital equipment sales should the customer decide to own the equipment in house. Medical Device Sales and Services concentrates its sales efforts in the Upper Midwest area of the United States based on our sales and service agreement with Philips. Similar to Diagnostic Imaging and Diagnostic Services, the sales teams of Mobile Healthcare and Medical Device Sales and Services work collaboratively to field opportunities that could result in both the sale of capital equipment and/or an opportunity for mobile services to provide solutions for our customers in large imaging modalities to fit their needs.
Government Regulation
We and our medical professional customers and must comply with an array of federal and state laws and regulations. Violations of such laws and regulations can be punishable by criminal, civil, and/or administrative sanctions, including, in some instances, exclusion from participation in healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Accordingly, we maintain a vigorous compliance program and a hotline that permits our personnel to report violations anonymously if they wish.
The following is a summary of some of the laws and regulations applicable to our business:
|
•
|
Anti-Kickback Laws.
The Medicare/Medicaid Patient Protection Act of 1987, as amended, which is commonly referred to as the Anti-Kickback Statute, prohibits us from knowingly and willingly offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving any form of remuneration in return for the referral of items or services, or to purchase, lease, order, or arrange for or recommend purchasing, leasing, or ordering any good, facility, service, or item, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program. Violation of the federal anti-kickback law is a felony, punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment, or both, and can result in civil penalties and exclusion from participation in healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Many states have adopted similar statutes prohibiting payments intended to induce referrals of products or services paid by Medicaid or other nongovernmental third-party payors.
|
|
•
|
Physician Self-Referral Laws.
Federal regulations commonly referred to as the “Stark Law” prohibit physician referrals of Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity for certain designated health services if the physician or an immediate family member has an indirect or direct financial relationship with the entity, unless a statutory exception applies. We believe that referrals made by our physician customers are eligible to qualify for the “in-office ancillary services” exception to the Stark Law, provided that the services are provided or supervised by the physician or a member of his or her “Group Practice,” as that term is defined under the law, the services are performed in the same building in which the physician regularly practices medicine, and the services are billed by or for the supervising physician or Group Practice. Violations of the Stark Law may lead to the imposition of penalties and fines, the exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs, and liability under the federal False Claims Act and its whistleblower provisions. Many states have adopted similar statutes prohibiting self-referral arrangements that cover all patients and not just Medicare and Medicaid patients.

|
•
|
HIPAA
. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, prohibits schemes to defraud healthcare benefit programs and fraudulent conduct in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items, or services. HIPAA also establishes standards governing electronic healthcare transactions and protecting the security and privacy of individually identifiable health information. Some states have also enacted privacy and security statutes or regulations that, in some cases, are more stringent than those issued under HIPAA.
|
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, enacted February 17, 2009, made significant changes to HIPAA privacy and security regulations. Effective February 17, 2010, we are regulated directly under all of the HIPAA rules protecting the security of electronic individually identifiable health information and many of the rules governing the privacy of such information.
|
•
|
Medical Device Regulation.
The FDA classifies medical devices, such as our cameras, into one of three classes, depending on the degree of risk associated with the device and the extent of control needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. Devices deemed to pose lower risk are placed in either class I or II, which generally requires the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a pre-market notification requesting permission for commercial distribution. This process is known as 510(k) clearance. Devices deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting, or implantable devices, are placed in Class III, requiring an approved Premarket Approval Application ("PMA"). Our cameras are Class II medical devices that have been cleared for marketing by the FDA. We are also subject to post-market regulatory requirements relating to our manufacturing process, marketing and sales activities, product performance, and medical device reports should there be deaths and serious injuries associated with our products.
|
|
•
|
Pharmaceutical Regulation.
Federal and state agencies, including the FDA and state pharmacy boards, regulate the radiopharmaceuticals used in our Diagnostic Services business.
|
9
|
•
|
Radioactive Materials Laws.
We must maintain licensure under, and comply with, federal and state radioactive materials laws, or RAM laws. RAM laws require, among other things, that radioactive materials are used by, or that their use be supervised by, individuals with specified training, expertise, and credentials and include specific provisions applicable to the medical use of radioactive materials.
|
|
•
|
Environmental Matters.
The facilities we operate or manage generate hazardous and medical waste subject to federal and state requirements regarding handling and disposal. We believe that the facilities that we operate and manage are currently in compliance in all material respects with applicable federal, state and local statutes and ordinances regulating the handling and disposal of such materials. We do not believe that we will be required to expend any material additional amounts in order to remain in compliance with these laws and regulations or that compliance will materially affect our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
|
Employees
As of December 31, 2016, we had a total of 507 full time employees, of which 295 were employed in clinical-related positions, 108 in operational roles, 69 in general and administrative functions, and 35 in marketing and sales. All positions are in the United States. We also utilize varying amounts of temporary workers as necessary to fulfill customer requirements. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our employee relations to be good.

RISK FACTORS
|
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We may not be able to achieve the anticipated synergies and benefits from business acquisitions, including our recent acquisition of DMS Health Technologies.
Part of our business strategy is to acquire businesses that we believe can complement our current business activities, both financially and strategically. On January 1, 2016, we acquired PRHC and its subsidiaries, including DMS Health Technologies, Inc., with these synergistic benefits in mind. Previously we acquired MD Office on March 5, 2015, and Telerhythmics on March 13, 2014. Acquisitions involve many complexities, including, but not limited to, risks associated with the acquired business' past activities, loss of customers, regulatory changes that are not anticipated, difficulties in integrating personnel and human resource programs, integrating ERP systems and other infrastructures, general under performance of the business under Digirad control versus the prior owners, unanticipated expenses and liabilities, and the impact on our internal controls and compliance with the regulatory requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There is no guarantee that our acquisitions will increase the profitability and cash flow of Digirad, and our efforts could cause unforeseen complexities and additional cash outflows, including financial losses. As a result, the realization of anticipated synergies or benefits from acquisitions may be delayed or substantially reduced, and could potentially result in the impairment of our investment in these businesses.
Our revenues may decline due to reductions in Medicare and Medicare reimbursement rates.
The success of our business is largely dependent upon our medical professional customers' ability to provide diagnostic care to their patients in an economically sustainable manner, either through the purchase of our imaging systems or using our diagnostic services, or both. Our customers are directly impacted by changes (decreases and increases) in governmental and private payor reimbursements for diagnostic services. We are directly and indirectly impacted by changes in reimbursements. In our businesses, where we are indirectly affected by reimbursement changes, we make every effort to act as business partners with our physician customers. For example, in 2010, we proactively adjusted our diagnostic imaging services rates down due to the dramatic reimbursement declines that our customers experienced from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Reimbursements remain a source of concern for our customers and downward pressure on reimbursements causes greater pricing pressure on our services and influences the buying decisions of our customers. Although the gap is closing, hospital reimbursements remain higher than in-office reimbursements. Our Diagnostic Imaging segment's products are targeted to serve the hospital market. A smaller portion of our Diagnostic Services business segment operates in the hospital market.
Reductions in reimbursements could significantly impact the viability of in-office imaging performed by independent physicians, as well as the viability of our cardiac event monitoring services business. The historical decline in reimbursements in diagnostic imaging has resulted in cancellations of imaging days in our Diagnostic Services business and the delay of purchase and service decisions by our existing and prospective customers in our Diagnostic Imaging business.
Our Diagnostic Services revenues may decline due to changes in diagnostic imaging regulations and the use of third party benefit managers by states and private payors to drive down diagnostic imaging volumes.
Nuclear medicine is a “designated health service” under the federal physician self-referral prohibition law known as the “Stark Law,” which states that a physician may not refer designated health services to an entity with which the physician or an immediate family member has a financial relationship, unless a statutory exception applies. Our business model and service agreements are structured to enable our physician customers to meet the statutory in-office ancillary services ("IOAS") exception to the Stark Law, allowing them to perform nuclear diagnostic imaging services on their patients in the convenience of their own office. From time-to-time, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Congress have proposed to modify the IOAS to further limit or eliminate this exception. Various lobbying organizations, including the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission ("MedPAC"), in the past have pushed for, discussed, and recommended that Congress limit the availability of the IOAS exception in order to reduce federal healthcare costs. Legislation has been introduced in prior Congresses to modify or eliminate the exception, but has not been enacted. The outcome of these efforts is uncertain at this time; however, the limitation or elimination of the IOAS exception could significantly impact our Diagnostic Services business segment as currently structured.
Our customers who perform imaging services in their office also experience the continuing efforts by some private insurance companies to reduce healthcare expenditures by hiring radiology benefit managers to help them manage and limit imaging. The federal government has also set aside monies in the 2009 recession recovery acts to hire radiology benefit managers to provide image management services to Medicare/Medicaid and MedPAC has recommended and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has, in the past, proposed legislation requiring Medicare physicians who engage in a relatively high volume of medical imaging be required to obtain pre-authorization through a radiology benefit manager. A radiology benefit manager is an unregulated entity that performs various functions for private payors and managed care organizations. Radiology benefit manager activities can include pre-authorization for imaging procedures, setting and enforcing standards, approving which contracted physicians can
11
perform the services, such as requiring even the most experienced and highly qualified cardiologists to obtain additional board certifications, or interfering with the financial decision of the private practitioner by requiring them to own their own imaging system and not allowing them to lease the system. The radiology benefit managers often do not provide written documentation of their decisions or an appeals process, leaving leasing physicians unable to challenge their decisions with the carrier or the state insurance department. Unregulated radiology benefit manager activities have and could continue to adversely affect our physician customers' ability to receive reimbursement, therefore impacting our customers' decision to utilize our Diagnostic Services imaging services.
Manufacturing and providing service for our nuclear imaging cameras is highly dependent upon the availability of certain suppliers, thereby making us vulnerable to supply problems that could harm our business.
Our manufacturing process within Diagnostic Imaging, and our after sale camera support business, rely on a limited number of third parties to supply certain key components and manufacture our products. Alternative sources of production and supply may not be readily available or may take several months to scale-up and develop effective production processes. If a disruption in the availability of parts or in the operations of our suppliers were to occur, our ability to have gamma cameras built as well as our ability to provide support could be materially adversely affected. In certain cases, we have developed backup plans and have alternative procedures should we experience a disruption. However, if these plans are unsuccessful or if we have a single source, delays in the production and support of our gamma cameras for an extended period of time could cause a loss of revenue and/or higher production and support costs, which could significantly harm our business and results of operations.
Our Diagnostic Services and portions of our Mobile Healthcare operations are highly dependent upon the availability of certain radiopharmaceuticals, thereby making us vulnerable to supply problems and price fluctuations that could harm our business.
Both our Diagnostic Service business and portions of our Mobile Healthcare business involve the use of radiopharmaceuticals. There were significant disruptions in the international supply of these radiopharmaceuticals in 2010, which caused us to cancel services that would have otherwise been provided and this adversely affected our customers, as well as our financial condition in 2010. Since this event, we generally have had sufficient supply, but do experience short-term shortages from time to time.
There is a limited number of major nuclear reactors supplying medical radiopharmaceuticals worldwide and there is no guarantee that the reactors will remain in good repair or that our supplier will have continuing access to ample supply of our radiopharmaceutical product. If we are unable to obtain an adequate supply of the necessary radiopharmaceuticals, we may be unable to utilize our personnel and equipment through our in-office service operations, or the volume of our services could decline and our business may be adversely affected. Shortages can also cause price increases that may not be accounted for in third party reimbursement rates, thereby causing us to lose margin or require us to pass increases on to our physician customers.
Our business is not widely diversified.
We provide our diagnostic services and sell our products primarily into the cardiac nuclear and ultrasound imaging private practice, in-office markets and hospitals. We may not be able to leverage our assets and technology to diversify our products and services in order to generate revenue beyond the cardiac nuclear and ultrasound imaging private practice markets. If we are unable to diversify our product and service offerings, our financial condition may suffer.
We compete against businesses that have greater resources and different competitive strengths.
The market for diagnostic services and diagnostic imaging systems is limited and has experienced some declines in the past. Some of our competitors have greater resources and a more diverse product offering than we do. Some of our competitors also enjoy significant advantages over us, including greater brand recognition, greater financial and technical resources, established relationships with healthcare professionals, larger distribution networks, and greater resources for product development, as well as more extensive marketing and sales resources. If we are unable to expand our current market share, our revenues and related financial condition could decline.
Our quarterly and annual financial results are difficult to predict and are likely to fluctuate from period to period.
We have historically experienced seasonality in all of our businesses, volatility due to the changing healthcare environment, the variable supply of radiopharmaceuticals, and downturns based on the changing U.S. economy. While our customers are typically obligated to pay us for imaging days to which they have committed, our contracts permit some flexibility in scheduling when services are to be performed. We cannot predict with certainty the degree to which seasonal circumstances such as the summer slowdown, winter holiday vacations, and weather conditions may affect the results of our operations. We have also experienced fluctuations in demand of our diagnostic imaging product sales due to economic conditions, capital budget availability, and other financial or business reasons. In addition, due to the way that customers in our target markets acquire our products, a large percentage of our products are booked during the last month of each quarterly accounting period, and often there can be a large amount in
12
the last month of the year. As such, a delivery delay of only a few days may significantly impact quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations. Moreover, the sales cycle for all of our capital products is typically lengthy, particularly in the hospital market, which may cause us to experience significant revenue fluctuations.
We spend considerable time and money complying with federal and state laws, regulations, and other rules, and if we are unable to fully comply with such laws, regulations, and other rules, we could face substantial penalties.
We are directly, or indirectly through our customers, subject to extensive regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business, including: the federal Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback laws and other Medicare laws, regulations, rules, manual provisions, and policies that prescribe requirements for coverage and payment for services performed by us and our physician customers; the federal False Claims statutes; the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended in 2009 under the HITECH Act that places direct legal obligations and higher liability on us with respect to the security and handling of personal health information; the Stark Law; the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; federal and state radioactive materials laws; state food and drug and pharmacy laws and regulations; state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine by non-physicians and fee-splitting arrangements between physicians and non-physicians; state scope-of-practice laws; and federal rules prohibiting the mark-up of diagnostic tests to Medicare under certain circumstances. If our customers are unable or unwilling to comply with these statutes, regulations, rules, and policies, rates of our services and products could decline and our business could be harmed. Additionally, new government mandates will require us to provide a certain baseline of health benefits and premium contribution for our employees and their families or pay governmental penalties. Some of these costs are not tax deductible. We have opted to provide this coverage to our employee base in order to maintain retention of qualified medical technicians and other professionals rather than plan to pay penalties to the government. Either option will result in additional costs to us and could negatively impact our cash reserves.
We maintain a compliance program to identify and correct any compliance issues and remain in compliance with all applicable laws, to train employees, to audit and monitor our operations, and to achieve other compliance goals. Like most companies with compliance programs, we occasionally discover compliance concerns. In such cases, we take responsive action, including corrective measures when necessary. There can be no assurance that our responsive actions will insulate us from liability associated with any detected compliance concerns.
If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws, regulations, rules, or policies described above or the other laws or regulations to which we or our customers are subject, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from federal or state health care programs, or the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Similarly, if our physician customers are found to be non-compliant with applicable laws, they may be subject to sanctions which could have a negative impact on us. Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment, or restructuring of our operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management's attention from the operation of our business, and damage our reputation. Although compliance programs can mitigate the risk of investigation and prosecution for violations of these laws, regulations, rules, and policies, the risks cannot be entirely eliminated. Moreover, achieving and sustaining compliance with applicable federal and state privacy, security, and fraud laws may prove costly.
Healthcare policy changes could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In response to perceived increases in healthcare costs in recent years, there have been and continue to be proposals by the federal government, state governments, regulators, and third-party payers to control these costs and, more generally, to reform the U.S. healthcare system. Certain of these proposals could limit the prices we are able to charge for our products or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products, and could limit the acceptance and availability of our products. The adoption of some or all of these proposals could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
A portion of our operations are located in a facility that may be at risk from fire, earthquakes, or other disasters.
Final assembly in our manufacturing process and significant portions of our inventory are located in a single facility in Poway, California, near known fire areas and earthquake fault zones. Future natural disasters could cause substantial delays in our operations and cause us to incur additional expenses. Although we have taken precautions to insure our facilities and continuing operations, as well as provide for offsite back-up of our information systems, this may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case. A disaster could significantly harm our business and results of operations.
The medical device industry is litigious, which could result in the diversion of our management's time and efforts, and require us to incur expenses and pay damages that may not be covered by our insurance.
Our operations entail risks of claims or litigation relating to product liability, radioactive contamination, patent infringement, trade secret disclosure, warranty claims, vendor disputes, product recalls, property damage, misdiagnosis, breach of contract, personal injury, and death. Any litigation or claims against us, or claims we bring against others, may cause us to incur substantial
13
costs, could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of our management from our core business, and harm our reputation. We may incur significant liability in the event of any such litigation, regardless of the merit of the action. If we are unable to obtain insurance, or if our insurance is inadequate to cover claims, our cash reserves and other assets could be negatively impacted. Additionally, costs associated with maintaining our insurance could become prohibitively expensive, and our ability to become or remain profitable could be diminished.
Our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology through patents and other means is uncertain.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary rights to the technologies used in our products. Any patents we have obtained or do obtain may be challenged by re-examination or otherwise invalidated or eventually found unenforceable. Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time consuming and expensive. Competitors may attempt to challenge or invalidate our patents, or may be able to design alternative techniques or devices that avoid infringement of our patents, or develop products with functionalities that are comparable to ours. In the event a competitor infringes upon our patent or other intellectual property rights, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenge, even if successful, could be expensive and time consuming and could require significant time and attention from our management. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenges from others.
We may make financial investments in other businesses that may lose value.
As we look for the best ways to deploy our capital and maximize our returns for our businesses and shareholders, we may make financial investments in other businesses or processes for purposes of enhancing our supply chain, creating financial returns, strategic developments, or other purposes. These investments may be speculative in nature, and there is no guarantee that we will experience a financial return and we may lose our entire principal balance if not successful.
Our relationship with Philips Healthcare could be canceled with a short notice period, severely impacting our revenues and costs.
Through our recent acquisition of DMS Health, we enjoy a long-standing relationship with Philips Healthcare to sell and service certain imaging and patient monitoring devices in defined region in the upper-Midwest area of the United States. Commissions and servicing revenues from this relationship are a substantial component of our revenues. Though our current agreement with Philips Healthcare continues into 2019, the contract can be canceled for various reasons with a 180-day notice period. If this contract is canceled, we would likely experience revenue declines and increased costs associated with personnel and infrastructure changes related to the contract termination, and we likely would not be able to replace this lost revenue in the near term.
Our mobile healthcare fleet is highly utilized; any downtime in our assets could have a material impact on our revenues and costs.
Our Mobile Healthcare business unit utilizes a fleet of highly sophisticated imaging and related transportation assets that require nearly 100% uptime to service our customer needs. Though we utilize an array of highly competent service providers to support our imaging fleet, imaging and related transportation machines can experience unproductive downtime. Any downtime of our imaging fleet could have near term impacts on our revenues and underlying costs.
Our goodwill and other long-lived assets are subject to potential impairment which could negatively impact our earnings.
A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill and other long-lived assets, the carrying value of which may be reduced if we determine that those assets are impaired. At
December 31, 2016
, goodwill and net intangible assets represented
$17.9 million
, or
16.8%
of our total assets. In addition, net property, plant and equipment assets totaled
$31.4 million
, or
29.6%
of our total assets. If actual results differ from the assumptions and estimates used in our goodwill and long-lived asset valuation calculations, we could incur impairment charges, which could negatively impact our earnings.
We review our reporting units for potential goodwill impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In addition, we test the recoverability of long-lived assets if events or circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. We conduct impairment testing based on our current business strategy in light of present industry and economic conditions, as well as future expectations. There are numerous risks that may cause the fair value of a reporting unit to fall below its carrying amount and/or the value of long-lived assets to not be recoverable, which could lead to the measurement and recognition of goodwill and/or long-lived asset impairment. These risks include, but are not limited to, significant negative variances between actual and expected financial results, lowered expectations of future financial results, failure to realize anticipated synergies from acquisitions, adverse changes in the business climate, and the loss of key personnel. If we are not able to achieve projected performance levels, future impairments could be possible, which could negatively impact our earnings.

During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, the Company recorded a
$0.3 million
goodwill impairment loss related to Telerhythmics, the Company's cardiac event monitoring services business that was acquired on March 13, 2014. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized in December during the years ended
December 31, 2014
and
2015
. No significant impairment losses on long-lived assets were recognized during the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
, and
2014
. See Notes 2 and 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding goodwill and long-lived assets.
On January 1, 2016, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Digirad and certain subsidiaries of Digirad, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent and as sole lead arranger and sole book runner. The Credit Agreement is a five-year credit facility (maturing in January 2021) with a maximum credit amount of $40.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). On January 4, 2016, we drew down $33.6 million against the Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of DMS Health Technologies.
Our indebtedness could restrict our operations and make us more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.
Our indebtedness could have important consequences for us and our stockholders. For example, the Credit Agreement requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. In addition, our indebtedness could:
|
•
|
increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and competitive pressures in our industry;
|
|
•
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
|
|
•
|
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and
|
|
•
|
limit our ability to borrow additional funds on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.
|
The Credit Agreement governing our indebtedness contains restrictive covenants that will restrict our operational flexibility and require that we maintain specified financial ratios. If we cannot comply with these covenants, we may be in default under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement governing our indebtedness contains restrictions and limitations on our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that limit and restrict, among other things, our ability to:
|
•
|
incur additional debt;
|
|
•
|
sell assets;
|
|
•
|
incur liens or other encumbrances;
|
|
•
|
make certain restricted payments and investments;
|
|
•
|
acquire other businesses; and
|
|
•
|
merge or consolidate.
|
In addition, the Credit Agreement limits, but does not eliminate, our ability to pay dividends. The Company expects to continue to pay its quarterly dividend consistent with past practice, however there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so under the Credit Agreement.
Our Credit Agreement contains a minimum liquidity covenant, fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant. Events beyond our control could affect our ability to meet these and other covenants under the Credit Agreement. Our failure to comply with our covenants and other obligations under the Credit Agreement may result in an event of default thereunder. A default, if not cured or waived, may permit acceleration of our indebtedness. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot be certain that we will have sufficient funds available to pay the accelerated indebtedness (together with accrued interest and fees), or that we will have the ability to refinance the accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all. This could have serious consequences to our financial condition, operating results, and business, and could cause us to become insolvent or enter bankruptcy proceedings, and shareholders may lose all or a portion of their investment because of the priority of the claims of our creditors on our assets.
If we are unable to generate or borrow sufficient cash to make payments on our indebtedness, our financial condition would be materially harmed, our business could fail, and shareholders may lose all of their investment.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our obligations will depend on our financial and operating performance, which will be affected by economic, financial, competitive, business, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to meet our debt obligations or fund our other liquidity needs, we may need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity or sell certain of our assets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to restructure or refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, which
15
could cause us to default on our debt obligations and impair our liquidity. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations.
Increases in interest rates could adversely affect our results from operations and financial condition.
An increase in prevailing interest rates would have an effect on the interest rates charged on our variable rate debt, which rise and fall upon changes in interest rates. If prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates, the increased interest expense would adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and the value of your investment could decline significantly.
The trading price of our common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. The price at which our common stock trades depends upon a number of factors, including our historical and anticipated operating results, our financial situation, announcements of new products by us or our competitors, our ability or inability to raise the additional capital we may need and the terms on which we raise it, and general market and economic conditions. Some of these factors are beyond our control. Broad market fluctuations may lower the market price of our common stock and affect the volume of trading in our stock, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations, business, or prospects. It is impossible to assure you that the market price of our shares of common stock will not fall in the future.
Our common stock has a low trading volume and shares available under our shelf registration statement and our option plan could affect the trading price of our common stock.
Our common stock historically has had a low trading volume. Any significant sales of our common stock may cause volatility in our stock price. We also have registered shares of common stock that we may issue under our shelf registration statement, our employee benefit plans, or from our treasury stock. Accordingly, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws. If any of these stockholders, or other selling stockholders, cause a large number of securities to be sold in the public market without a corresponding demand, the sales could reduce the trading price of our common stock. One or more stockholders holding a significant amount of our common stock might be able to significantly influence matters requiring approval by our stockholders, possibly including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.
We adopted a tax benefit preservation plan, designed to preserve the value of certain income tax assets, primarily tax net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), which may discourage acquisition and sale of large blocks of our stock and may result in significant dilution for certain stockholders.
We have adopted a tax benefit preservation plan in the form of a Section 382 Rights Agreement ("382 Agreement"). The 382 Agreement is designed to preserve stockholder value and the value of certain income tax assets primarily associated with NOLs by acting as a deterrent to any person acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock without the approval of the Board. The 382 Agreement may discourage existing 5% stockholders from selling their interest in a single block, which may impact the liquidity of the Company's common stock, may deter institutional investors from investing in our stock, and may deter potential acquirers from making premium offers to acquire the Company, factors which may depress the market price of our stock.
Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law may prevent or delay removal of current management or a change in control.
Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that may delay or prevent a change in control, discourage bids at a premium over the market price of our common stock, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless certain specific requirements are met as set forth in Section 203. These provisions, alone or together, could have the effect of deterring or delaying changes in incumbent management, proxy contests, or changes in control.

PROPERTIES
|
Our principal executive offices are located in Suwanee, Georgia, where we lease approximately 8,500 square feet of office space. We lease a 21,300 square foot facility in Poway, California that houses our Diagnostic Imaging operations. Our Diagnostic Services segment leases approximately 28 small hub locations in the various states in which we operate, which primarily house our fleet of cameras and vans. Diagnostic Services also operates a cardiac event monitoring center which is located in an approximately 8,078 square foot facility in Collierville, Tennessee. In addition to our leased properties, we own a 36,310 square foot facility in Fargo, North Dakota and a 16,769 square foot facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, both of which house our DMS Health businesses.
We believe that we have adequate space for our anticipated needs and that suitable additional space will be available at commercially reasonable prices as needed.

As of
February 21, 2017
there were approximately 167 holders of record of our common stock. We believe that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a large portion of our common stock is held of record through brokerage firms in “street name.”
Dividend Policy
We paid four quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per common share for total dividends paid of $0.20 per common share during each of the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
. On
January 31, 2017
, we announced a dividend of $0.05 per common share payable on February 28, 2017 to shareholders of record as of
February 15, 2017
.
Our ability to pay dividends could be affected by future business performance, liquidity, capital needs, and financial covenants under our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Credit Agreement limits, but does not eliminate, our ability to pay dividends. We presently intend to continue the payment of regular quarterly cash dividends on our common stock; however, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so under the Credit Agreement.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
There were no issuer purchases of equity securities during the fiscal year
2016
.
On February 27, 2013, our board of directors modified our stock buyback program originally adopted in February 2009 to increase repurchases to an aggregate of $7.0 million, and subsequently, on March 13, 2013, increased the stock buyback program again for repurchases of up to an aggregate of $12.0 million. The timing of stock repurchases and the number of shares of common stock to be repurchased are in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The timing and extent of the repurchase depends upon market conditions, applicable legal and contractual requirements, and other factors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth previously under the caption “Risk Factors.” This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Digirad delivers convenient, effective, and efficient healthcare solutions on an as needed, when needed, and where needed basis. Digirad's diverse portfolio of mobile healthcare solutions and medical equipment and services, including diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring, offers hospitals, physician practices, and imaging centers throughout the United States with technology and services necessary for them to provide exceptional patient care in the rapidly changing healthcare environment.
Strategy
Our main strategic focus is to grow our business into an integrated healthcare services company that addresses the rapidly changing healthcare environment. We believe that there are many opportunities to provide outsourced and mobile healthcare services and solutions in the current healthcare environment. We believe this strategy will be accomplished by:
1.
Focusing on organic growth from our core business;
2.
Introducing new service offerings through our existing businesses or through acquisitions; and
3.
Acquiring similar or complementary healthcare service companies.
Recent Acquisitions
On March 13, 2014, we acquired Telerhythmics, which broadened our suite of services provided through the Diagnostic Services segment, to include cardiac event monitoring services. These services offer flexibility and convenience to our customers who do not have to incur the costs of staffing, equipment, and logistics to monitor patients as part of their standard of care. Our cardiac event monitoring services are provided primarily through an independent diagnostic testing facility model which allows us to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for services provided. As such, our cardiac event monitoring services are subject to reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party insurers which are subject to change on a periodic basis. Our cardiac event monitoring services are mainly provided to physician practices and hospitals. On March 5, 2015, we acquired MD Office Solutions ("MD Office"), a provider of in-office nuclear cardiology imaging in the northern and central California regions, which broadened our footprint in California and was incorporated into our Diagnostic Services segment.
On January 1, 2016, we acquired Project Rendezvous Holding Corporation, the holding company of DMS Health Technologies. DMS Health Technologies (“DMS Health”) offers mobile diagnostic imaging across multiple imaging modalities, including Positron Emission Tomography (“PET”), Computed Tomography (“CT”), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) as well as other imaging and healthcare services. These services are provided to regional and rural hospitals and institutions throughout the United States. In addition, DMS Health, through an exclusive relationship with Philips Healthcare, services and sells Philips' imaging and patient monitoring equipment within a defined region of the upper Midwest region of the United States. With the addition of DMS Health, we added two new reportable segments to Digirad: Mobile Healthcare and Medical Device Sales and Service. Further, the addition of DMS has approximately doubled the revenue of the Company from the 2015 levels, and has had a significant impact on all major categories of our financial statements.
Business Segments
With the acquisition of DMS Health, we now operate the Company in four reportable segments:
|
1.
|
Diagnostic Services
|
|
2.
|
Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic Services.
Through Diagnostic Services, we offer a convenient and economically efficient imaging and monitoring services program as an alternative to purchasing equipment or outsourcing the procedures to another physician or imaging center. For physicians who wish to perform nuclear imaging, echocardiography, vascular or general ultrasound tests, we provide the ability for them to engage our services, which includes the use of our imaging system, qualified personnel, radiopharmaceuticals, licensing services, and logistics required to perform imaging in their own offices, and thereby the ability to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for those services, which are primarily cardiac in nature. We provide imaging services
22
primarily to cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, and family practice doctors who typically enter annual contracts for a set number of days ranging from once per month to five times per week.
Diagnostic Services also offers remote cardiac event monitoring services through our Telerhythmics business. These services include provision of a monitor, remote monitoring by registered nurses, and 24 hours a day, 7 days a week monitoring support for our patients and physician customers. We offer modalities of mobile cardiac telemetry ("MCT"), mobile cardiac event monitoring (both in wireless and analog versions), holter monitoring, and pacemaker analysis. These services offer flexibility and convenience to our customers who do not have to incur the costs of staffing, equipment, and logistics to monitor patients as part of their standard of care. Our cardiac event monitoring services are provided primarily through an independent diagnostic testing facility model that allows us to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for our services, and is the only business at Digirad that bills Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance directly.
Mobile Healthcare.
Through Mobile Healthcare, we provide contract diagnostic imaging, including computerized tomography ("CT"), magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI"), positron emission tomography ("PET"), PET/CT, and nuclear medicine and healthcare expertise to hospitals, integrated delivery networks ("IDNs"), and federal institutions on a long-term contract basis, as well as provisional (short-term) services to institutions that are in transition. These services are provided primarily when there is a cost, ease, and efficiency component of providing the services directly rather than owning and operating the related services and equipment directly by our customers.
Diagnostic Imaging.
Through Diagnostic Imaging, we sell our internally developed solid-state gamma cameras, imaging systems and camera maintenance contracts. Our imaging systems include nuclear cardiac imaging systems, as well as general purpose nuclear imaging systems. We sell our imaging systems to physician offices and hospitals primarily in the United States, although we have sold a small number of imaging systems internationally.
Medical Device Sales and Service.
Through Medical Device Sales and Service, we provide contract sales services, as well as warranty and post-warranty services, under our exclusive contract with Philips Healthcare within a defined region in the upper Midwest region of the United States. We primarily sell Philips branded imaging and patient monitoring systems, including CT, MRI, PET, PET/CT systems, ultrasound and patient and monitoring systems, and receive a commission on these sales. For our equipment contract sales services, we do not take title to the underlying equipment; it is delivered directly to the end user by Philips. We also provide warranty and post-warranty services on certain Philips equipment within this territory related to equipment we have sold or other equipment sold in the territory.
Our Market
The target market for our products and services is comprised of cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, family practice physicians, hospitals, IDNs, and federal institutions in the United States that perform or could perform a diagnostic imaging procedure, have a need for cardiac event monitoring, or have interest in purchasing a diagnostic imaging product. During the year ended December 31,
2016
, through Diagnostic Services and Mobile Healthcare, we provided imaging services to 1,017 physicians, physician groups, hospitals, IDNs and federal institutions, and cardiac event monitoring services to 379 physicians and physician groups. Our Diagnostic Services and Mobile Healthcare businesses currently operate in 42 states. In the past, our market has been negatively affected by lower reimbursements from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") and third party insurance providers for the codes under which our customers bill for our services, although reimbursements have stabilized in the last few years. We have addressed, and will continue to address, these market pressures by modifying our Diagnostic Services and Mobile Healthcare business models, and by assisting our healthcare customers in complying with new regulations and requirements.
Trends and Drivers
The market for diagnostic services and products is highly competitive. Our business, which is focused primarily on the private practice and hospital sectors, continues to face uncertainty in the demand for diagnostic services and imaging equipment, which we believe is due in part to the impact of the Deficit Reduction Act on the reimbursement environment and the 2010 Healthcare Reform laws, as well as general uncertainty in overall healthcare and legislative changes in healthcare, such as the Affordable Care Act. These challenges have impacted, and will likely continue to impact, our operations. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include budget availability for our capital equipment, qualifications for reimbursement, pricing, ease-of-use, reliability, and mobility.
Diagnostic Services.
In providing Diagnostic Services imaging services, we compete against many smaller local and regional nuclear and/or ultrasound providers that may have lower operating costs. The fixed-installation operators often utilize older, used equipment, and the mobile operators may use older Digirad single-head cameras or newer dual-head cameras. We are the only mobile provider with our own exclusive source of triple-head mobile systems. Some competing operators place new or used cameras into physician offices and then provide the staffing, supplies, and other support as an alternative to a Diagnostic Services service contract. In addition, we compete against imaging centers that install fixed nuclear gamma cameras and make them available to referring physicians in their geographic vicinity. In these cases, the physician sends their patients to the imaging center.
23
In providing cardiac event monitoring services, we compete against many smaller local and regional service providers, as well as a few larger, more well-established medical device companies, that provide devices and a service model similar to ours. We believe our advantage in this market is our ability to utilize almost any cardiac event device on the market in the United States, and not being constrained by using any particular device. However, our larger competitors have larger sales forces and deeper financial resources that may allow them to be more cost effective. Further, larger competitors may develop devices that may make our owned devices obsolete, causing us to suffer financial losses as we attempt to change our technology and service model to adapt.
Diagnostic Imaging.
In selling our imaging systems, we compete against several large medical device manufacturers who offer a full line of imaging cameras for each diagnostic imaging technology, including x-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, or SPECT/CT and PET/CT hybrid imagers. The existing nuclear imaging systems sold by these competitors have been in use for a longer period of time than our internally developed nuclear gamma cameras, and are more widely recognized and used by physicians and hospitals; however, they are generally not solid-state, light-weight, as flexible, or portable. Additionally, certain medical device companies have developed a version of solid-state gamma cameras that may directly compete with our product offerings. Many of the larger multi-modality competitors enjoy significant competitive advantages over us, including greater brand recognition, greater financial and technical resources, established relationships with healthcare professionals, broader distribution networks, more resources for product development and marketing and sales, and the ability to bundle products to offer discounts.
Mobile Healthcare.
The market for selling, servicing, and operating diagnostic imaging services, patient monitoring equipment, and imaging systems is highly competitive. Mobile Healthcare services, competes against a few large national and regional providers. In addition to direct competition from other providers of services similar to those offered by us, we compete with freestanding imaging centers and healthcare providers that have their own diagnostic imaging systems, as well as with equipment manufacturers that sell imaging equipment directly to healthcare providers for permanent installation. Some of the direct competitors, which provide contract MRI and PET/CT services, have access to greater financial resources than we do. In addition, some of our customers are capable of providing the same services we provide to their patients directly, subject only to their decision to acquire a high-cost diagnostic imaging system, assume the financial and technology risk, and employ the necessary technologists, rather than obtain equipment and services from us. We may also experience greater competition in states that currently have certificate of need laws if such laws were repealed, thereby reducing barriers to entry and competition in those states. We also compete against other similar providers in quality of services, quality of imaging systems, relationships with healthcare providers, knowledge and service quality of technologists, price, availability, and reliability.
Medical Device Sales and Services.
Through our relationship with Philips Healthcare, we provide contract sales services of larger imaging systems and patient monitoring systems, as well as certain post warranty service contracts within a defined region in the upper Midwest region of the United States. For the imaging systems, we compete directly with other well established healthcare products companies in the United States and throughout the world that sell similar devices that may have a differing array of features and benefits that exceed the Philips products that we sell. Further, these competitors may have greater manufacturing capacity, reach and sales forces relative to the region we sell in, providing a competitive advantage.
For our post-warranty service contracts, we compete with a variety of smaller and larger independent service providers that may pay their field staff lower wages, utilize used parts instead of OEM parts and fail to provide the training we provide. Competing with these sources sometimes puts us at a cost and price disadvantage.
2016
Financial Highlights
Our consolidated revenues were
$125.5 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
. This is an increase of $
64.6 million
, or
106.3%
, compared to the prior year, primarily due to the acquisition of DMS Health, which occurred on January 1, 2016, as well as
$0.6 million
of incremental revenue associated with the MD Office acquisition, which occurred on March 5, 2015. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenue increased
$0.8 million
driven by a
$1.3 million
, or
2.9%
, increase in our Diagnostic Services revenue year over year. Diagnostic Imaging segment revenues for the year ended December 31,
2016
decreased
$0.5 million
, or
3.8%
, compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in the number of cameras sold and lower revenue associated with camera maintenance contracts.
Consolidated gross profit increased
$17.9 million
, or
99.7%
, compared to the prior year, due to the acquisitions of DMS Health and MD Office. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, consolidated gross profit decreased
$0.5 million
due to a decrease in the average mobile imaging rate per day, a lower benefit from a release of excess inventory reserves, and a less favorable mix of services provided in our Telerhythmics business compared to the prior year, as well as a less favorable mix of cameras sold during the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to the prior year.
Our total operating expenses increased
$17.6 million
for the year ended December 31,
2016
compared to the prior year, due to the acquisition of DMS Health and a
$0.6 million
increase in legal and professional fees related to the acquisition and integration of DMS Health, partially offset by a decrease in variable compensation compared to the prior year. Our consolidated net income for the year ended December 31,
2016
was
$14.3 million
, which is a decrease of
$7.3 million
compared to our net income of
$21.6
24
million
during the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in the income tax benefit recognized year over year. We recognized an income tax benefit of
$12.4 million
during the year ended
December 31, 2016
, a decrease of
$6.7 million
compared to the prior year. As a result of the acquisition of DMS Health on January 1, 2016, we determined that it is more likely than not that additional deferred tax assets will be realized due to increases in the Company's projected taxable income. The release of the associated valuation allowance resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately
$13.2 million
during the year ended
December 31, 2016
. During the year ended
December 31, 2015
, we concluded it was more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets would be realized through future taxable income. This conclusion was based on our restructuring efforts in 2013 and 2014 and resulting sustained profitability for the second half of 2013, 2014, and 2015, as well as our projections of positive future earnings and other key operating factors.
For the year ended
December 31, 2016
, Diagnostic Services operated 86 nuclear gamma cameras and 60 ultrasound imaging systems, and Mobile Healthcare operated 99 PET, CT, MRI and ultrasound diagnostic imaging systems. We continue to strive to improve our overall profitability through more efficient utilization of our fleet of nuclear gamma cameras, ultrasound equipment, and PET, CT and MRI imaging systems. We measure efficiency by tracking system utilization, which is based on the percentage of days that our cameras, equipment and imaging systems are used to deliver services to customers out of the total number of days that they are available to deliver such services. System utilization for Diagnostic Services increased to 64% for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, compared to 62% in the prior year, due to an increase in the number of imaging days provided. System utilization for Mobile Healthcare was 87% for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, compared to 86% in the prior year, due to a decrease in the number of imaging systems in operation.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related 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. We evaluate our estimates and judgments, the most critical of which are those related to revenue recognition, reserves for contractual allowances and doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue for all of our reportable segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue recognition, when all of the following four criteria are met: (i) a contract or sales arrangement exists; (ii) products have been shipped and title has transferred or services have been rendered; (iii) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The timing of revenue recognition is based upon factors such as passage of title and risk of loss, the need for installation, and customer acceptance. These factors are based on the specific terms of each contract or sales arrangement.
Services Revenue Recognition.
We generate service revenue primarily from providing diagnostic imaging and cardiac monitoring services to our customers. Service revenue within our Diagnostic Imaging and Mobile Healthcare reportable segments is derived from providing our customers with contract diagnostic imaging services, which includes use of our imaging systems, qualified personnel, radiopharmaceuticals, licensing, logistics and related items required to perform testing in their own offices. We bill customers either on a per-scan or fixed-payment methodology, depending upon the contract that is negotiated with the customer. Within our Mobile Healthcare segment, we also rent imaging systems to healthcare customers for use in their operations. Rental revenues are structured as either a weekly or monthly payment arrangement, and are recognized in the month services are provided. Revenue related to provision of our services is recognized at the time services are performed and collection is reasonably assured.
We also offer remote cardiac event monitoring services within our Diagnostic Services reportable segment, through our Telerhythmics business. Our cardiac event monitoring services are provided primarily through an independent diagnostic testing facility model which allows us to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for services provided. We also receive reimbursement directly from patients through co-pays and self-pay arrangements. Billings for services reimbursed by third party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, are recorded as revenue net of contractual allowances. Contractual allowances are estimated based on historical collections by Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT") code for specific payors or class of payors. Adjustments to the estimated receipts, based on final settlement with the third party payors, are recorded upon settlement.
25
Product and Product-Related Revenue Recognition.
We generate revenue from product and product-related sales, primarily from the sale of gamma cameras and Phillips medical equipment and supplies, and related services, which consist primarily of support and maintenance services on products we sell directly or through our relationship with Philips.
Diagnostic Imaging product revenues are generated from the sale of internally developed solid-state gamma camera imaging systems and camera maintenance service contracts. Revenue for sales of imaging systems is generally recognized upon delivery of systems and acceptance by customers. We also provide installation services and training on cameras we sell, primarily in the United States. Installation and initial training is generally performed shortly after delivery and revenue related to the provision of these services is recognized at the time services are performed and collection is reasonably assured. Neither installation nor training is essential to the functionality of the product. Finally, we offer camera maintenance service contracts which are sold beyond the term of the initial warranty, generally one year from the date of purchase. Revenue from these contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the obligation.
Medical Device Sales and Service product revenues are derived from equipment sales and warranty and post-warranty service efforts, under our exclusive contract with Philips Healthcare. Revenue from equipment sales primarily consists of commission income, which represents the commission the Company earns for selling Philips equipment and supplies to end users, and is reported on a net basis upon delivery. Revenue related to warranty and service contracts that extend over multiple months is accounted for on the proportional-performance method, which the Company deems to be on a straight-line basis. Finally, revenue related to time-and-materials service contracts is recognized in the month services are performed and collection is reasonably assured.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Billing Adjustments
We provide reserves for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments. We regularly evaluate the collectability of our trade receivables and make reserves and adjustments based on our historical experience rate and known collectability issues and disputes. We also consider our bad debt write-off and billing adjustments history. Our estimates of collectability could be impacted by material amounts due to changed circumstances, such as a higher number of defaults or material adverse changes in a payor’s ability to meet its obligations. We also record a provision for billing adjustments and allowances as the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on specific facts and specific circumstances of particular orders, analysis of credit memo data or other known factors. If the data we use to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect reserve requirements, then a change in the reserve would be made in the period in which such a determination is made and revenues in that period could be adversely affected.
Contractual Allowances
Our cardiac event monitoring services are provided primarily through an independent diagnostic testing facility model which allows us to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for services provided. Accounts receivable for cardiac event monitoring are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances. Contractual allowances are estimated based on historical collections by CPT code for specific payors, or class of payors. The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed. Because of continuing changes in the healthcare industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows.
Business
Combinations
Under the acquisition method of accounting, we allocate the fair value of the total consideration transferred to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants, are based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. We record the excess consideration over the aggregate fair value of tangible and intangible assets, net of liabilities assumed, as goodwill. These valuations require us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
In connection with certain of our acquisitions, additional contingent consideration is earned by the sellers upon completion of certain future performance milestones. In these cases, a liability is recorded on the acquisition date for an estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration by applying the income approach utilizing variable inputs such as anticipated future cash flows, risk-free adjusted discount rates, and nonperformance risk. Any change in the fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date is recognized as general and administrative expense (income), in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This method requires significant management judgment, including the probability of achieving certain future milestones and discount rates. Future changes in our estimates could result in expenses or gains.
26
Management typically uses the discounted cash flow method to value our acquired intangible assets. This method requires significant management judgment to forecast future operating results and establish residual growth rates and discount factors. The estimates we use to value and amortize intangible assets are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage our business and are based on available historical information and industry estimates and averages. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, we could experience impairment charges. In addition, we have estimated the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be accelerated or slowed.
Inventory
We state inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value) and review our inventory balances for excess and obsolete inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Costs include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead and variance costs. We rely on historical information to support our reserve and utilize management’s business judgment. Per our policy, we generally reserve 100% of the cost of inventory quantities in excess of a defined period of demand. Once inventory is reserved, we do not adjust the reserve balance until the inventory is sold or disposed.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and provides disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets, generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less pricing observability, and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability, or market, and the nature of the asset or liability. We have categorized our assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with this guidance. See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a further discussion regarding our measurement of assets and liabilities at fair value.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets including Finite Lived Purchased Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets. We record property and equipment at cost, and record other intangible assets based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. We calculate depreciation on property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Charges related to amortization of assets recorded under capital leases are included within depreciation expense. We calculate amortization on other intangible assets using either the accelerated or the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, based on the nature of when we expect to receive cash inflows generated by the intangible assets.
Impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. When indicators of impairment exist, we perform a review of the carrying value of our long-lived assets to be held and used, including certain identifiable intangible assets. No impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets to be held and used during the years ended December 31,
2016
,
2015
, or
2014
. During the year ended December 31,
2015
, an impairment loss of less than
$0.1 million
was recorded related to the excess of the carrying amount above fair value of certain assets held for sale. No impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets held for sale during the years ended December 31,
2016
, or
2014
.
Valuation of Goodwill
We review goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, as well when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We begin the process by assessing qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After performing the aforementioned assessment and upon review of the results of such assessment, we may begin performing step one of the two-step impairment analysis by quantitatively comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test, whereby the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to its implied fair value. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded.
27
During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss of
$0.3 million
within our Diagnostic Services segment related to our Telerhythmics business. The Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the carrying value of the Telerhythmics reporting unit were in excess of their respective values and therefore, updated its estimated fair value of these assets as of that date. This conclusion was based on lower than expected operating results during the year ended
December 31, 2016
, primarily as a result of lower sales volume and unfavorable mix in our cardiac event monitoring business. In performing the first step of the goodwill impairment assessment, we determined the fair value of the Telerhythmics reporting unit using both an income approach and a market approach. Under the income-based approach, we use a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several future periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. Actual results may differ materially from those used in our forecasts. The discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis reflects the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows of the Telerhythmics reporting unit. Determining fair value using a market approach considers multiples of financial metrics based on both acquisitions and trading multiples of a selected peer group of companies. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple was determined which was applied to financial metrics to estimate the fair value of the Telerhythmics reporting unit. We determined that the recorded carrying value of the Telerhythmics reporting unit exceeded its enterprise value in the first step and performed the second step of the impairment test in which we allocated the enterprise fair value to the fair value of the reporting unit's net assets. The second step of the impairment testing process requires, among other things, the estimation of the fair values of substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. Any enterprise fair value in excess of amounts allocated to such net assets represents the implied fair value of goodwill for that reporting unit. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of
$0.3 million
associated with the impairment assessment of the Telerhythmics reporting unit as of
December 31, 2016
. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded December 31,
2015
, and
2014
.
Estimating the fair value of the reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments regarding future cash flows that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results, forecasted billings, revenue, and spend targets, discount rate assumptions, and long-term growth rate assumptions. The estimates and judgments described above could adversely change in future periods and we cannot provide absolute assurance that all of the targets will be achieved, which could lead to future impairment charges.
Share-Based Compensation
We grant options to purchase our common stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to our employees and directors under our equity compensation plans. We estimate the fair value of the stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs is based on the stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments that are expected to vest are recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on historical data for forfeitures and we are recognizing compensation costs only for those equity awards expected to vest.
Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes under the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before we are able to realize their benefit. We calculate the valuation allowance in accordance with the authoritative guidance relating to income taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2014, due to a history of operating losses and other key operating factors, we concluded that a full valuation allowance was necessary to offset all of our deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated as of December 31, 2014, was the cumulative pretax loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. During the year ended
December 31, 2015
, we concluded that it was more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets would be realized through future taxable income. This conclusion was based on our restructuring efforts in 2013 and 2014 and resulting sustained profitability for the second half of 2013, 2014, and 2015, as well as our projections of positive future earnings and other key operating factors. As of September 30, 2015, we had generated cumulative pretax income over the preceding twelve quarter period, and therefore the objective negative evidence of a history of operating losses was no longer present. The partial release of the valuation allowance associated with our deferred tax assets was the primary driver of the income tax benefit of
$19.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, as a result of the acquisition of DMS Health on January 1, 2016, we determined that it is more likely than not that additional deferred tax assets will be realized due to the increases in our forecasted taxable income. The partial release of the valuation
28
allowance associated with our deferred tax assets was the primary driver of the income tax benefit of
$12.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
. The release of the valuation allowance will not affect the amount of cash paid for income taxes.
We will reassess the ability to realize the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. If it is more likely than not that we will not realize the recognized deferred tax assets, then all or a portion of the valuation allowance may need to be re-established, which would result in a charge to tax expense. Conversely, if new events indicate that it is more likely than not that we will realize additional deferred tax assets, then all or a portion of the remaining valuation allowance may be released, which would result in a tax benefit.

Comparison of Years Ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
Revenues
Consolidated.
Consolidated revenue was
$125.5 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$64.6 million
, or
106.3%
, from the prior year, primarily due to the acquisition of DMS Health, and
$0.6 million
of incremental revenue associated with the MD Office acquisition, which occurred on March 5, 2015. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenue increased
$0.8 million
due to increases in revenue in our Diagnostic Services segment, partially offset by a decrease in our Diagnostic Imaging segment, compared to the prior year. In our Diagnostic Services segment, excluding the impact of the MD Office acquisition, revenue increased by
$1.3 million
, or
2.9%
, compared to the prior year due to a greater number of imaging days provided, partially offset by a decrease in the average mobile imaging rate per day and decreased revenue from our Telerhythmics business due to less favorable mix compared to the prior year. In the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we experienced higher volume of imaging days ran for both new and existing customers as compared to the prior year. In addition, in the prior year we experienced a high rate of cancellations that did not occur in the year ended
December 31, 2016
. In our Diagnostic Imaging segment, revenue decreased
$0.5 million
, or
3.8%
, compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in the number of cameras sold and lower revenue associated with camera maintenance contracts, as well as a less favorable product mix during the year ended December 31,
2016
as compared to the prior year, which led to a lower blended average selling price per camera year over year. Including the acquisition of DMS Health, services revenue accounted for
76.1%
of total revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, compared to
76.3%
for the prior year. We expect our Services revenue to continue to represent the larger percentage of our consolidated revenue; however the percentage will fluctuate quarter by quarter given the significant variability in the timing and volume of product sales associated with our Diagnostic Imaging and Medical Device Sales and Service segments.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Consolidated.
Consolidated gross profit was
$35.8 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$17.9 million
, or
99.7%
, compared to the prior year due to the acquisitions of DMS Health and MD Office. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, consolidated gross profit decreased
$0.5 million
as a result of fewer camera sales and lower revenue associated camera maintenance contracts, a decrease in the average mobile imaging rate per day, a less favorable mix of cameras sold, and a lower benefit from a release of excess inventory reserves compared to the prior year. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to
28.5%
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
from
29.4%
for the prior year, due to the decrease in the average mobile imaging rate per day and a lower benefit from the release of excess inventory reserves due to the sale of previously reserved inventory compared to the prior year.
31
Services.
Cost of Services revenue primarily consists of labor, equipment depreciation, radiopharmaceuticals, and other costs associated with providing our services. Cost of Diagnostic Services revenue was
$75.5 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$39.5 million
, or
110.0%
, from the prior year, primarily due to the acquisitions of DMS Health and MD Office. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, cost of Services revenue increased
$1.5 million
compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of the increased number of imaging days provided. Services gross profit was
$20.0 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$9.6 million
, or
91.6%
, as compared to the prior year due to the acquisitions of DMS Health and MD Office. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, Services gross profit decreased slightly due to a decreased gross profit percentage of revenue due to the decrease in the average mobile imaging rate per day and a less favorable mix of services provided in our Telerhythmics business. Services gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to
20.9%
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
from
22.5%
in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was attributable to the acquisition of DMS Health and its relative contribution to gross profit, as well as slight unfavorability in our Diagnostic Services segment gross profit percentage due to the decrease in the average mobile imaging rate per day with the associated service costs remaining relatively consistent, as well as an unfavorable mix of services provided in our Telerhythmics business.
Product and Product-Related.
Cost of Product revenue primarily consists of labor, parts, materials, and overhead costs associated with our product and services contract offerings. Cost of Product revenue was
$14.2 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$7.2 million
, or
104.0%
, over the prior year, primarily as a result of the acquisition of DMS Health. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, cost of Product revenue decreased
$0.2 million
primarily due to a fewer number of cameras sold and lower revenue associated with camera maintenance contracts, partially offset by a decrease in release of excess inventory reserves as compared to the prior year. During
2016
and
2015
, we benefited from a release of
$0.2 million
and
$1.0 million
, respectively, of excess inventory reserves due to the sale of previously reserved inventory. Product gross profit was
$15.8 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$8.3 million
, or
111.2%
, as compared to the prior year due to the acquisition of DMS Health. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, Product gross profit decreased due to fewer camera sales and lower revenue associated with camera maintenance contracts, a less favorable mix of camera sales, and a lower benefit from the release of excess inventory reserves due to the sale of previously reserved inventory compared to the prior year. Product gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to
52.7%
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
from
51.8%
for the prior year due to the acquisition of DMS Health. Excluding the acquisition of DMS Health, Product gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly due to a less favorable mix of camera sales and a lower benefit from the release of excess inventory reserves related to the sale of previously reserved inventory.
Operating Expenses
Marketing and Sales.
Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, bonuses, recruiting costs, travel, marketing and collateral materials, and trade show costs. Marketing and sales expenses were
$10.0 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$5.3 million
, or
112.0%
, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of the acquisition of DMS Health. Marketing and sales expenses as a percentage of total revenues were
8.0%
and
7.8%
for the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. On a go forward basis, we expect marketing and sales expenses to generally approximate the level of expense noted in the year ended
December 31, 2016
.
General and Administrative.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for accounting, human resources, information technology, executive personnel, legal related costs, professional fees, outside services, insurance, and costs related to our board of directors. General and administrative expenses were
$20.0 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$10.1 million
, or
102.1%
, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of the acquisition of DMS Health, as well as an increase in legal and professional fees related to the acquisition and integration of DMS Health, and to a lesser extent, an increase in stock-based compensation and higher professional fees due to the impact of DMS Health. During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we incurred acquisition and integration related costs of
$1.9 million
, compared to
$1.3 million
during the prior year. General and administrative expenses were
15.9%
of total revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
16.3%
for the prior year. On a go forward basis, we expect general and administrative expense to generally approximate the level of expense noted for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, notwithstanding any one-time initiatives.
Amortization of Intangible Assets.
The amortization of intangible assets resulted in
$2.3 million
of expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$1.8 million
or
357.1%
, compared to the prior year, primarily as the result of intangibles acquired as part of the acquisition of DMS Health.
Goodwill Impairment.
During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we recognized a
$0.3 million
goodwill impairment charge related to our Telerhythmics cardiac monitoring business, as discussed in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements.
32
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other Income (Expense), net.
Other income (expense), net was
$0.2 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$0.4 million
compared to the prior year. The increase was due to a $0.6 million favorable settlement of a pre-acquisition litigation matter during the fourth quarter of 2016, partially offset by an increase of
$0.2 million
of impairment losses on our investment in Perma-Fix Medical, S.A. compared to the prior year. See Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information.
Interest Expense, net.
Interest expense was
$1.4 million
during the year ended
December 31, 2016
, an increase of
$1.4 million
compared to the prior year, due to interest and amortization of debt issuance costs related to our Credit Facility entered into on January 1, 2016. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a more detailed description of our current outstanding debt.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
Consolidated
. Income tax benefit was
$12.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, a decrease of
$6.7 million
compared to the prior year. During the year ended
December 31, 2015
, we concluded that it was more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets would be realized through future taxable income. This conclusion was based on our restructuring efforts in 2013 and 2014 and resulting sustained profitability for the second half of 2013, 2014, and 2015, as well as our projections of positive future earnings and other key operating factors. As of September 30, 2015, we had generated cumulative pretax income over the preceding twelve quarter period, and therefore the objective negative evidence of a history of operating losses was no longer present. The partial release of the valuation allowance associated with our deferred tax assets was the primary driver of the income tax benefit of
$19.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, as a result of the acquisition of DMS Health on January 1, 2016, we determined that it is more likely than not that additional deferred tax assets will be realized due to the increases in our forecasted taxable income. The partial release of the valuation allowance associated with our deferred tax assets was the primary driver of the income tax benefit of
$12.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
.
Comparison of Years Ended
December 31, 2015
and
2014
Revenues
Consolidated.
Consolidated revenue was
$60.8 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of
$5.2 million
, or
9.4%
, from the prior year, driven by a
$4.2 million
, or
10.0%
, increase in our Diagnostic Services revenue year over year. The increase in Diagnostic Services revenue is primarily due to $2.6 million of incremental revenue associated with the MD Office acquisition, which occurred on March 5, 2015, as well as $1.6 million of incremental cardiac event monitoring revenue resulting from the Telerhythmics acquisition, which occurred on March 13, 2014. Diagnostic Imaging segment revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2015
increased by
$1.0 million
, or
7.3%
, compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the volume of cameras sold, as well as a more favorable product mix during the year ended
December 31, 2015
as compared to the prior year, which led to a higher blended average selling price per camera year over year. Diagnostic Services revenue accounted for
76.3%
of total revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, compared to
75.8%
for the prior year.
Diagnostic Services.
Our Diagnostic Services revenue was
$46.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of
$4.2 million
, or
10.0%
, from the prior year. The increase in Diagnostic Services revenue is primarily due to $2.6 million of incremental revenue associated with the MD Office acquisition, which occurred on March 5, 2015, as well as $1.6 million of incremental cardiac event monitoring revenue resulting from the Telerhythmics acquisition, which occurred on March 13, 2014. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenue in the Diagnostic Services business increased slightly compared to the prior year driven by an increase in the number of days our physician customers utilized our imaging services, partially offset by a decrease in our average mobile imaging rate per day and a decrease in ancillary revenue from short-term equipment rentals.
Diagnostic Imaging.
Our Diagnostic Imaging revenue was
$14.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of
$1.0 million
, or
7.3%
, compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the volume of cameras sold, as well as a more favorable product mix sold during the year ended
December 31, 2015
as compared to the prior year which led to a higher blended average selling price per camera period over period, partially offset by attrition in the number of camera maintenance contracts. The number of cameras sold increased to 31 from 27 during the years ended
December 31, 2015
and 2014, respectively, as a result of overall improved market conditions.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Consolidated.
Consolidated gross profit was
$17.9 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of
$1.3 million
, or
7.6%
, compared to the prior year. The increase in consolidated gross profit is primarily the result of increased overall revenue volume as well as improved gross profit as a percentage of revenue in our Diagnostic Imaging business. Our Diagnostic Imaging business segment benefited from a more favorable mix of cameras sold during the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to
33
the prior year, as well as a release of excess inventory reserves due to the sale of previously reserved inventory. Diagnostic Services gross profit decreased slightly for the year ended
December 31, 2015
driven by a decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue, offset partially by increased revenue. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to
29.4%
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
from
29.9%
for the prior year, driven by unfavorability in our Diagnostic Services business offset partially by favorability in our Diagnostic Imaging business.
Diagnostic Services.
Cost of Diagnostic Services revenue was $36.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of $4.2 million, or 13.4%, from the prior year. The increase in cost of Diagnostic Services revenue is primarily a result of the provision of incremental cardiac event monitoring services associated with the Telerhythmics acquisition, and an increased amount of imaging days provided, driven in part by the MD Office acquisition. Diagnostic Services gross profit was $10.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, a decrease of $10 thousand, or 0.1%, as compared to the prior year primarily as a result of decreased gross profit percentage of revenue offset partially by increased revenue volume. Diagnostic Services gross profit as a percentage of Diagnostic Services revenue decreased to 22.5% for the year ended
December 31, 2015
from 24.8% in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was attributable to a decrease in the average mobile imaging rate per day with the associated service costs remaining relatively consistent, as well as decreased revenue and gross profit contribution from short-term equipment rentals and ancillary services.
Diagnostic Imaging
. Cost of Diagnostic Imaging revenues was $6.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 4.1%, over the prior year, primarily as a result of a $0.3 million increase in the release of excess inventory reserves due to the sale of previously reserved inventory during the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to the prior year. Diagnostic Imaging gross profit was $7.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of $1.3 million, or 20.7%, as compared to the prior year due to a greater volume and more favorable mix of camera sales, as well as the release of excess inventory reserves due to the sale of previously reserved inventory. Diagnostic Imaging gross profit as a percentage of Diagnostic Imaging revenue increased to 51.8% for the year ended
December 31, 2015
from 46.1% for the prior year primarily due to a more favorable mix of camera sales and the release of excess inventory reserves related to the sale of previously reserved inventory. During 2015, we recognized a benefit within cost of sales for Diagnostic Imaging of $1.0 million associated with the release of excess inventory reserves related to the sale of previously reserved inventory.
Operating Expenses
Marketing and Sales.
Marketing and sales expenses were
$4.7 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of
$11 thousand
, or
0.2%
, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of increased investment in sales and marketing resources associated with the Telerhythmics business, offset partially by decreased variable compensation. Marketing and sales expenses as a percentage of total revenues were
7.8%
and
8.5%
for the years ended
December 31, 2015
and 2014, respectively.
General and Administrative.
General and administrative expenses were
$9.9 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of
$1.5 million
, or
18.5%
, compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of $1.3 million of legal and professional services costs related to the DMS Health acquisition and increased costs related to the administration of the Telerhythmics business, partially offset by decreased variable compensation. General and administrative expenses were
16.3%
of total revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to
15.0%
for the prior year.
Restructuring.
On January 27, 2014, we announced a plan to exit our 47,000 square foot former headquarters facility in Poway, California (the Facilities restructuring initiative). This action was undertaken as the facility had excess space and capacity given our current operating plan. We entered into a termination agreement to end the lease on the facility as of April 30, 2014. The original term of the lease would have continued through February 29, 2016. Concurrently with the termination of the lease for the 47,000 square foot Poway, California facility, we entered into a new lease agreement for a separate 21,300 square foot facility to house our Diagnostic Imaging operations. As a result of the Facilities restructuring initiative, we incurred a total of
$0.7 million
of restructuring charges, all of which were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014. No restructuring initiatives were instituted in fiscal year 2015 or 2016.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and Other Expense, net
. Interest and other expense, net was
$0.3 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of
$0.3 million
compared to the prior year. The increase was due to an impairment loss of $0.2 million recognized in the year ended December 31, 2015 on our investment in Perma-Fix Medical, S.A. ("Perma-Fix Medical"). See note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
Consolidated
. Income tax benefit was
$19.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
, an increase of
$19.2 million
compared to the prior year due to the release of the valuation allowance associated with a portion of our deferred tax assets. During the year ended
December 31, 2015
, we concluded that it was more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets would be realized through future taxable income. This conclusion was based on our restructuring efforts in 2013 and 2014 and resulting
34
sustained profitability for the second half of 2013, 2014, and 2015, as well as our projections of positive future earnings and other key operating factors. As of September 30, 2015, we had generated cumulative pretax income over the preceding twelve quarter period, and therefore the objective negative evidence of a history of operating losses was no longer present.
Further, during the year ended
December 31, 2015
, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $0.5 million related to the release of the valuation allowance associated with the acquisition of MD Office. The valuation allowance release occurred when we recorded an increase to our deferred tax liability balance as a result of book and tax basis differences in acquired fixed, intangible, and other assets of MD Office.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We generated
$10.8 million
of positive cash flow from operations during the year ended
December 31, 2016
, and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations on an annual basis in the future. Cash flows from operations primarily represent inflows from net income (adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash items), as well as the net effect of changes in working capital. Cash flows from investing activities primarily represent our investment in capital equipment required to maintain and grow our business, as well as acquisitions. Cash flows from financing activities primarily represent net proceeds from borrowings under our Credit Agreement and receipt of cash related to the exercise of stock options, offset by outflows related to dividend payments and repayments of long-term borrowings.
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash generated from operations and availability on our revolving line of credit from our Credit Agreement. As of
December 31, 2016
, we had
$3.1 million
of cash, cash equivalents, and securities available-for-sale and
$6.3 million
available under our revolving line of credit. Though we had
$3.1 million
of cash and securities available-for-sale as of
December 31, 2016
, we expect in future periods to utilize most of our available cash and securities available-for-sale to reduce our outstanding balances under our Credit Agreement in order to minimize interest expense. If we have excess cash balances beyond any outstanding balances on our line of credit, we may generally invest these cash reserves in short-term money market funds, U.S. treasury, and corporate debt securities. We also have available a shelf registration statement that provides us with increased capital flexibility to pursue corporate objectives by allowing us to offer and sell up to
$20.0 million
of securities.
We require capital principally for capital expenditures, acquisition activity, dividend payments, and to finance accounts receivable and inventory. Our working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on inventory requirements, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of our customers. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of medical imaging and diagnostic devices utilized in the provision of our services, as well as vehicles and information technology hardware and software. Based upon our current level of expenditures, we believe our current working capital, together with cash flows from operating activities, will be more than adequate to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by
$7.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to the prior year. The increase is attributable to higher net income adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by slightly unfavorable changes in working capital, primarily due to decreases in accrued compensation and deferred revenue compared to the prior year.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by
$0.6 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to the prior year. The decrease is attributable to unfavorable changes in working capital primarily related to increases in accounts receivable and inventory and decreases in accounts payable and accrued compensation, with income before income taxes remaining relatively consistent for the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to the prior year.
35
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by
$31.3 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to net cash provided by in the prior year. The increase in cash used in investment activities was primarily attributable to the outlay of
$25.5 million
of cash to acquire DMS Health, as well as an increase of
$4.8 million
in purchases of capital equipment compared to the prior year. See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information related to the acquisition of DMS Health.
Net cash provided by investing activities increased by
$7.3 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to net cash used in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to increased cash provided by maturities of available-for-sale securities in the year ended
December 31, 2015
, compared to an outlay of
$3.4 million
of cash to acquire Telerhythmics in the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as
$2.6 million
in purchases of available-for-sale securities in the year ended December 31, 2014.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by
$8.7 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to net cash used in the prior year. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to proceeds under our Credit Facility, net of issuance costs, consisting of initial proceeds received of
$32.8 million
used to finance the acquisition of DMS Health, and
$3.7 million
of borrowings during the year from our revolving credit facility, partially offset by
$24.8 million
of repayments of long-term borrowings (including approximately
$9.4 million
for the repayment of outstanding debt acquired in the DMS Health acquisition), as well as an increase of restricted cash of
$3.1 million
associated with the maintenance of cash collateral requirements under our new Credit Facility. In future periods, we expect our financing activities to primarily consist of payments of long-term borrowings and dividend payments.
Net cash used in financing activities increased by
$0.2 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to
$0.3 million
in loan issuance costs related to the acquisition of DMS Health completed on January 1, 2016, as well as
$3.8 million
of dividend payments during the year ended
December 31, 2015
, compared to
$3.7 million
during the year ended December 31, 2014, and increased repayments of capital lease obligations. The increase in cash used was partially offset by increased cash received during the year ended
December 31, 2015
related to stock option exercises compared to the prior year.
Financing Transactions
On January 1, 2016, in connection with the acquisition of DMS Health, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, and the subsidiaries of the Company, and the lenders party thereto, with Wells Fargo Bank as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement is a five-year credit facility, maturing on January 1, 2021, with a maximum credit amount of
$40.0 million
. It consisted of a term loan of
$20.0 million
("Term Loan A"), a second term loan of
$7.5 million
("Term Loan B"), and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of
$12.5 million
("the Revolver"). Commitments under Term Loan A and the Revolver are subject to underlying eligible assets of the Company. In the case of the Term Loan A, underlying property, plant and equipment, and in the case of the Revolver, eligible accounts receivable and inventory, all as defined in the Credit Agreement.
At our option, the Credit Facility will bear interest at a floating rate of either (i) the LIBOR Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin depending on the borrowing type as follows:
2.5%
for Term Loan A;
5.0%
for Term Loan B; and
2.0%
for the Revolver; or (ii) the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin depending on the borrowing type as follows:
1.5%
for Term Loan A;
4.0%
for Term Loan B; and
1.0%
for the Revolver. As of
December 31, 2016
, we had
$22.0 million
of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at a weighted average interest rate of
3.7%
.
We are permitted to make voluntary prepayments on amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty unless in connection with the full repayment of all amounts owed under the Credit Agreement. In the event that we fully repay all obligations and terminate the Credit Agreement prior to January 1, 2017, we will be required to pay a prepayment penalty in the amount equal to
1.0%
times the maximum credit amount of the Credit Agreement. Furthermore, we will be required to prepay amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement in the event that we receive cash flows in excess of specified percentages upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the sale or disposition of assets or other property, legal judgments or settlements, the sale of equity, and other payments received not in the ordinary course of business.
Debt Covenants
The Credit Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, events of default, mandatory prepayment requirements, as well as certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for Credit Agreements of this type. These covenants include restrictions on borrowings, investments, and divestitures, as well as limitations on our ability to make certain restricted payments, including the amount of dividends paid. These restrictions do not prevent or prohibit our payment of dividends consistent with past practice, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Further, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain restricted
36
cash balances through January 1, 2018. Finally, the Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial covenants, including minimum liquidity and fixed charge coverage and leverage ratios. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of EBITDA less any unfinanced capital expenditures made or incurred during the period to fixed charges for such period (as defined in the credit agreement), measured on a month-end basis. Per the Credit Agreement, the fixed charge coverage ratio must be at least 1:00 to 1:00 for each trailing twelve month period ending as of the end of a month. The leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of consolidated debt to EBITDA for the twelve month period ended as of such date.
The leverage ratio requirements, as defined in the Credit Agreement, are set forth in the table below:
|
Period
|
Leverage Ratio
|
|
January 31, 2016 through February 28, 2017
|
2:50 to 1:00

March 31, 2017 through September 30, 2017
|
2:25 to 1:00

|
October 31, 2017 through May 31, 2018
|
2:00 to 1:00
|
|
June 30, 2018 through January 1, 2021
|
1:75 to 1:00
|
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders may, among other things, declare the loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and increase the interest rate at which loans and obligations under the Credit Agreement bear interest. If an event of default occurs related to the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, the loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement shall automatically become due and payable.
We were in compliance with all covenants as of
December 31, 2016
.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, or SPEs, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of
December 31, 2016
, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

ITEM 7A.
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is subject to interest rate volatility with regard to existing and future issuances of debt. Borrowings under the Company's Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates plus an applicable margin, based on LIBOR or the base or prime rate. Accordingly, we are exposed to market risk for fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a 100 basis point change in current interest rates on interest expense would be approximately $0.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2016
.
Additionally, we are exposed to interest rate risks in the value of debt securities in our investment portfolio. Our risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investments in interest rate sensitive financial instruments. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. We attempt to increase the safety and preservation of our invested principal funds by limiting default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in investment grade securities. A 100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the fair value of our investment portfolio.

DIGIRAD CORPORATION
NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
NOTE 1.
|
The Company
|
Digirad delivers convenient, effective, and efficient healthcare solutions on an as needed, when needed, and where needed basis. Digirad's diverse portfolio of mobile healthcare solutions and medical equipment and services, including diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring, provides hospitals, physician practices, and imaging centers throughout the United States access to technology and services necessary to provide exceptional patient care in the rapidly changing healthcare environment.
On January 1, 2016, we acquired Project Rendezvous Holding Corporation, the holding company of DMS Health Technologies. DMS Health Technologies (“DMS Health”) offers mobile diagnostic imaging across multiple imaging modalities, including Positron Emission Tomography (“PET”), Computed Tomography (“CT”), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) as well as other imaging and healthcare services. These services are provided to regional and rural hospitals and institutions throughout the United States. In addition, DMS Health, through an exclusive relationship with Philips Healthcare, sells and services Philips' imaging and patient monitoring equipment within a defined region of the upper Midwest region of the United States.
With the acquisition of DMS Health, we now operate the Company in
four
reportable segments:
1.
Diagnostic Services
2.
Diagnostic Imaging
3.
Mobile Healthcare
4.
Medical Device Sales and Service
These
four
reportable segments are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” See Note 14 to the audited consolidated financial statements for more information related to the Company's segments. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of all reportable segments.
|
NOTE 2.
|
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
The financial results for the year ended
December 31, 2016
include the financial results of DMS Health. See Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for more information related to the acquisition of DMS Health.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, reserves for doubtful accounts and contractual allowances, inventory valuation, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue for all of our reportable segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue recognition, when all of the following four criteria are met: (i) a contract or sales arrangement exists; (ii) products have been shipped and title has transferred or services have been rendered; (iii) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The timing of revenue recognition is based upon factors such as passage of title and risk of loss, the need for installation, and customer acceptance. These factors are based on the specific terms of each contract or sales arrangement.
Services Revenue Recognition.
We generate service revenue primarily from providing diagnostic imaging and cardiac monitoring services to our customers. Service revenue within our Diagnostic Imaging and Mobile Healthcare reportable segments is derived from providing our customers with contract diagnostic imaging services, which includes use of our imaging systems, qualified personnel, radiopharmaceuticals, licensing, logistics and related items required to perform testing in their own offices. We bill customers either on a per-scan or fixed-payment methodology, depending upon the contract that is negotiated with the customer. Within our Mobile Healthcare segment, we also rent imaging systems to healthcare customers for use in their operations. Rental revenues are structured as either a weekly or monthly payment arrangement, and are recognized in the month services are

provided. Revenue related to provision of our services is recognized at the time services are performed and collection is reasonably assured.
We also offer remote cardiac event monitoring services within our Diagnostic Services reportable segment, through our Telerhythmics business. Our cardiac event monitoring services are provided primarily through an independent diagnostic testing facility model which allows us to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for services provided. We also receive reimbursement directly from patients through co-pays and self-pay arrangements. Billings for services reimbursed by third party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, are recorded as revenue net of contractual allowances. Contractual allowances are estimated based on historical collections by Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT") code for specific payors or class of payors. Adjustments to the estimated receipts, based on final settlement with the third party payors, are recorded upon settlement.
Product and Product-Related Revenue Recognition.
We generate revenue from product and product-related sales, primarily from the sale of gamma cameras and Phillips medical equipment and supplies, and related services, which consist primarily of support and maintenance services on products we sell directly or through our relationship with Philips.
Diagnostic Imaging product revenues are generated from the sale of internally developed solid-state gamma camera imaging systems and camera maintenance service contracts. Revenue for sales of imaging systems is generally recognized upon delivery of systems and acceptance by customers. We also provide installation services and training on cameras we sell, primarily in the United States. Installation and initial training is generally performed shortly after delivery and revenue related to the provision of these services is recognized at the time services are performed and collection is reasonably assured. Neither installation nor training is essential to the functionality of the product. Finally, we offer camera maintenance service contracts which are sold beyond the term of the initial warranty, generally one year from the date of purchase. Revenue from these contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the obligation.
Medical Device Sales and Service product revenues are derived from equipment sales and warranty and post-warranty service efforts, under our exclusive contract with Philips Healthcare. Revenue from equipment sales primarily consists of commission income, which represents the commission the Company earns for selling Philips equipment and supplies to end users, and is reported on a net basis upon delivery. Revenue related to warranty and service contracts that extend over multiple months is accounted for on the proportional-performance method, which the Company deems to be on a straight-line basis. Finally, revenue related to time-and-materials service contracts is recognized in the month services are performed and collection is reasonably assured.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. We limit our exposure to credit loss by generally placing our cash and investments in high credit quality financial institutions and investment grade corporate debt securities. Additionally, we have established guidelines regarding diversification of our investments and their maturities, which are designed to maintain principal and maximize liquidity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and provides disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Our financial instruments primarily consist of cash equivalents, securities available-for-sale, accounts receivable, other current assets, restricted cash, accounts payable, contingent consideration, and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial instruments generally approximate fair value due to their short term nature. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Securities Available-for-Sale
Securities available-for-sale primarily consist of investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, we own shares of common stock issued by Perma-Fix Medical, a publicly traded company listed on the NewConnect market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. We classify all debt securities as available-for-sale and as current assets, as the sale of such securities may be required prior to maturity to execute management strategies. The Perma-Fix Medical equity securities are classified as an other asset (non-current), as the investment is strategic in nature and our current intent is to hold the investment over a several year period. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other
48
comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities, if any, are determined on a specific identification basis.
It is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell investments before recovery of their amortized costs. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the straight-line method and included in interest income. Interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses on investments in securities are included in other income (expense) within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We recognized a loss of
$0.2 million
related to available-for-sale securities for the year ended
December 31, 2015
due to the initial excess of the transaction price over fair value for the Perma-Fix Medical investment. The realized gains and losses related to securities available-for-sale were minimal for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2014.
A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is determined to be other than temporary will result in an impairment charge to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of
$0.4 million
, reflecting the write-down of this investment to its fair market value of approximately
$0.3 million
, establishing a new cost basis. The Company reviewed various factors in making its determination, including the duration in the decline of value and volatility of the Perma-Fix Medical stock price. While the Company has the intent and ability to hold this investment, there is no indication that the Perma-Fix Medical stock price will rise above the Company's adjusted cost basis within the foreseeable future. The loss is included as a component in other expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Billing Adjustments, and Contractual Allowances
Accounts receivable consist principally of trade receivables from customers and government or third-party healthcare insurance providers, and are generally unsecured and due within
30 days
. We regularly evaluate the collectability of our trade receivables and provide reserves for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience rate, known collectability issues and disputes, and our bad debt write-off history. Our estimates of collectability could be impacted by material amounts due to changed circumstances, such as a higher number of defaults or material adverse changes in a payor's ability to meet its obligations. Expected credit losses related to trade accounts receivable are recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts within accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets, and the related provision for doubtful accounts is charged to general and administrative expenses.
Within Diagnostic Services, we record adjustments and credit memos that represent billing adjustments subsequent to the performance of service. As such, we also record a provision for billing adjustments which is based on our historical experience rate and billing adjustments history. The provision for billing adjustments is charged against Diagnostic Services revenues.
Our cardiac event monitoring services are provided primarily through an independent diagnostic testing facility model which allows us to bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for services provided. Accounts receivable related to cardiac event monitoring are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances. Contractual allowances are estimated based on historical collections by Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT") code for specific payors, or class of payors. A provision for contractual allowances is charged against Services revenues.

Inventory
Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value) and we review inventory balances for excess and obsolete inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Costs include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead costs. We rely on historical information to support our excess and obsolete reserves and utilize our business judgment with respect to estimated future demand. Per our policy, we generally reserve
100%
of the cost of inventory quantities in excess of a defined period of demand. Once inventory is reserved, we do not adjust the reserve balance until the inventory is sold or disposed.

Long-Lived Assets including Finite Lived Purchased Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets. We record property and equipment at cost, and record other intangible assets based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. We calculate depreciation on property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets which range from
5
to
20 years
for buildings and improvements,
3
to
10 years
years for machinery and equipment,
3
to
10 years
for computer hardware and software, and the lower of the estimated useful life or remaining lease term for leasehold improvements. Charges related to amortization of assets recorded under capital leases are included within depreciation expense. We calculate amortization on other intangible assets using either the accelerated or the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, based on when we expect to receive cash inflows generated by the intangible assets. Estimated useful lives for intangibles range from
3
to
15 years
.
Impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are
50
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. No impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets to be held and used during the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and
2014
. During the year ended December 31,
2015
, an impairment loss of
$0.1 million
was recorded related to the excess of the carrying amount above fair value of certain assets held for sale. No impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets held for sale during the years ended December 31,
2016
, or
2014
, respectively.
Valuation of Goodwill
We review goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, as well as when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We begin the process by assessing qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After performing the aforementioned assessment and upon review of the results of such assessment, we may begin performing step one of the two-step impairment analysis by quantitatively comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit's net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the impairment test, whereby the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared to its implied fair value. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recorded. During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss of
$0.3 million
. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded December 31,
2015
, and
2014
. See Note 6 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information.
Restricted Cash
We maintain certain cash amounts restricted as to withdrawal or use. Current and noncurrent restricted cash as of
December 31, 2016
was
$3.5 million
, comprised of cash held in restricted accounts as collateral under our Credit Agreement, as well as for letters of credit for our real estate leases and insurance policies.
Restructuring
Restructuring costs are included in income from operations within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Losses on property and equipment are recorded consistent with our accounting policy related to long-lived assets. One-time termination benefits are recorded at the time they are communicated to the affected employees. Losses on property lease obligations are recorded when the lease is abandoned or when the contract is terminated. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded
$0.7 million
of restructuring costs related to initiatives that were completed in the same fiscal year. No restructuring costs were recorded during the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
.
Debt Issuance Costs
We incur debt issuance costs in connection with long-term debt financings. Such costs are recorded as a direct deduction to long-term debt and amortized over the terms of the respective debt obligations using the effective interest rate method. Debt issuance costs recorded in connection with our revolving credit facility are presented in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the revolving debt agreements using the straight-line method. Amortization of deferred loan costs is included in interest expense. As of
December 31, 2016
, we have
$0.8 million
of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
We record all shipping and handling billings to customers as revenue earned for the goods provided. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and totaled
$0.9 million
,
$0.6 million
, and
$0.5 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
, and
2014
, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
We account for share-based awards exchanged for employee services in accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based compensation. Under this guidance, share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period.
51
Warranty
We generally provide a
12
-month warranty on our gamma cameras. We accrue the estimated cost of this warranty at the time revenue is recorded and charge warranty expense to Product and product-related cost of revenues. Warranty reserves are established based on historical experience with failure rates and repair costs and the number of systems covered by warranty. Warranty reserves are depleted as gamma cameras are repaired. The costs consist principally of materials, personnel, overhead, and transportation. We review warranty reserves quarterly and, if necessary, make adjustments.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and vested restricted stock units outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and vested restricted stock units outstanding and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and non-vested restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are only included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is dilutive. Shares used to compute basic net income per share include
10,240
, and
5,063
vested restricted stock units for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2014, respectively. There were no restricted stock units included in the shares used to compute basic net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Antidilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Stock options and restricted stock units are antidilutive when the assumed proceeds per share are greater than the average market price of the common shares. In addition, in periods where net losses are incurred, stock options and restricted stock units with assumed proceeds per share less than the average market price of the common shares become antidilutive as well.
The number of common share equivalents that were antidilutive were

Other Comprehensive Loss
Other comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive loss includes unrealized losses on our marketable securities.
Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes under the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before we are able to realize their benefit. We calculate the valuation allowance in accordance with the authoritative guidance relating to income taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2014, due to a history of operating losses and other key operating factors, we concluded that a full valuation allowance was necessary to offset all of our deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated as of December 31, 2014, was the cumulative pretax loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. During the year ended
December 31, 2015
, we concluded that it was more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets would be realized through future taxable income. This conclusion was based on our restructuring efforts in 2013 and 2014 and resulting sustained profitability for the second half of 2013, 2014, and 2015, as well as our projections of positive future earnings and other key operating factors. As of September 30, 2015, we had generated cumulative pretax income over the preceding twelve quarter period, and therefore the objective negative evidence of a history of operating losses was no longer present. The partial release of the valuation allowance associated with our deferred tax assets was the primary driver of the income tax benefit of
$19.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, as a result of the acquisition of DMS Health on January 1, 2016, we determined that it is more likely than not that additional deferred tax assets will be realized due to the increases in our forecasted taxable income. The partial release of the valuation allowance associated with our deferred tax assets was the primary driver of the income tax benefit of
$12.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
. The release of the valuation allowance will not affect the amount of cash paid for income taxes.
The authoritative guidance for income taxes defines a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax provision taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also provides direction on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Under the guidance, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision.
Acquisitions
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration, are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. We base the fair values of identifiable intangible assets on detailed valuations that require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions. Contingent purchase considerations to be settled in cash are remeasured to estimated fair value at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in general and administrative expense, a component of operating expenses. See Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our acquisitions.
Accounting Standards Updates
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We intend to early adopt the guidance in 2017.
In November 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the total beginning and ending amounts for the periods shown on the statement of cash flows. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
53
15, 2017, and for interim periods within those periods, using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We do not expect the impact on our consolidated financial statements to be material.
In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The pronouncement provides clarification guidance on eight specific cash flow presentation issues that have developed due to diversity in practice. The issues include, but are not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and cash receipts from payments on beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this guidance on our financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for the accounting for leases. The amendments are based on the principle that assets and liabilities arising from leases should be recognized within the financial statements. The Company is required to adopt the amendments beginning in 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments must be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach and the FASB decided not to permit a full retrospective transition approach. We currently expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the update and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption. However, we are currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this update will have upon adoption on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In January 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for the accounting for financial instruments. The amendments require equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The new standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this guidance on our financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recorded in a business combination to reflect new information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and that, if known, would have affected measurement or recognition of amounts initially recognized. As an alternative, the amendment requires 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. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the financial statements of the period in which adjustments to provisional amounts are determined, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The new standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2016 and this guidance was applied to the manner in which adjustments to provisional amounts in the DMS Health acquisition have been recognized (See Note 3).
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The guidance does not specifically address requirements for the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements could be presented as an asset and amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016 for the presentation of our debt issuance costs incurred in connection with our new credit facility entered into on January 1, 2016 (See Note 7).
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance provides that an entity recognize revenue when it transfers promised 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 or services. This guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption and is currently scheduled to become effective for us in the first quarter of 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this guidance on our financial statements.

Acquisitions

DMS Health
(2016)
On January 1, 2016, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2015 and as amended on December 31, 2015 and June 7, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”), we completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding stock of Project Rendezvous Holding Corporation ("PRHC"), the ultimate parent company of DMS Health Technologies, Inc. (collectively referred to hereinafter as "DMS Health Technologies" or "DMS Health"). DMS Health Technologies offers mobile diagnostic imaging across multiple imaging modalities as well as other imaging and healthcare services. These services are provided to regional and rural hospitals and institutions throughout the United States. In addition, DMS Health, through an exclusive relationship with Philips Healthcare, sells and services Philips' imaging and patient monitoring equipment within a defined region of the upper Midwest region of the United States. With the addition of DMS Health, we added two new reportable segments to Digirad: Mobile Healthcare and Medical Device Sales and Service.
The preliminary aggregate purchase price paid at closing was approximately
$32.9 million
, which included adjustments for pre-existing debt, cash and preliminary working capital adjustments. In June 2016, we agreed on the final working capital adjustment as outlined in the Purchase Agreement. As a result of the settlement, we received proceeds of
$0.6 million
which was recorded as a reduction to goodwill in the second quarter of 2016. The adjusted purchase price after settlement of the working capital adjustment was
$32.3 million
as of
December 31, 2016
, which consisted of the following:

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid
$1.6 million
to settle DMS Health's pre-existing employee stock award plan which included a provision for the acceleration of vesting of awards under certain circumstances in connection with a change in control. The amount paid was associated with pre-combination services and included as a component of the purchase price reflected in the table above.
The acquisition was funded with a combination of cash-on-hand and the financing made available under the credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as further described in Note 7 of the audited consolidated financial statements. At closing, we also paid off
$9.4 million
of long-term debt outstanding on DMS Health's balance sheet, which was recognized separately from the business combination and presented as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2016
. During the year ended
December 31, 2016
and 2015, we incurred transaction and integration related costs of
$1.9 million
and
$1.3 million
, respectively, and
$3.3 million
cumulative to date. These costs are classified as general and administrative expenses in the audited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The allocations of the purchase price below represent the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Includes amounts payable to former PRHC stockholders related to tax refund receivables under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
During the second quarter of 2016, in addition to the working capital settlement adjustment of
$0.6 million
recorded as a reduction to goodwill, the Company adjusted amounts related to the valuation of property and equipment that was recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Such adjustments resulted in a net decrease of
$0.2 million
in property and equipment. Depreciation expense for the year ended
December 31, 2016
was decreased by less than
$0.1 million
to reflect the effect on earnings as a result of the change to the provisional amounts recognized. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation to decrease deferred income tax liabilities by
$0.2 million
for pre-merger PRHC federal and state income tax returns and revised estimates.
Intangible assets are recorded at estimated fair value, as determined by management based on available information which includes a valuation prepared by an independent third party. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets were determined through the use of the income approach. The major assumptions used in arriving at the estimated identifiable intangible asset values included management’s preliminary estimates of future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate rate of return as well as projected customer attrition rates. The useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition relates to the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Digirad and DMS Health. The goodwill has been allocated to our Medical Device Sales and Service segment and will not be deductible for federal and state tax reporting purposes.

DMS Health's operating results were included in the Company's consolidated results of operations beginning on January 1, 2016. Revenues and operating income for the year ended
December 31, 2016
include revenues and operating income attributable to DMS Health of
$63.3 million
and
$2.2 million
, respectively.

The pro forma information has been adjusted to eliminate acquisition-related costs of
$1.9 million
and
$1.3 million
, respectively, during the year ended
December 31, 2016
and 2015. The income tax benefit of
$13.2 million
related to the release of valuation allowance as a result of the DMS Health acquisition has also been excluded to give effect to pro forma results that are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results; whereas no adjustment was made to the prior year valuation allowance release primarily contributing to the
$19.1 million
income tax benefit as it was not directly attributable to the acquisition.
The pro forma information for the year ended December 31,
2015
also include primarily adjustments for depreciation related to the fair value of property and equipment acquired, amortization expense related to acquired intangibles, and additional interest expense associated with the Company's financing arrangements relating to this acquisition.
The pro forma supplemental information is for informational purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s results actually would have been had the acquisition been completed as of the beginning of the periods as indicated. In addition, the pro forma supplemental information does not purport to project the future results of the combined company.
MD Office Solutions
(2015)
On March 5, 2015, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire MD Office Solutions ("MD Office"). MD Office is a provider of in-office nuclear cardiology imaging in the northern and central California regions. The acquisition expands the geographical region in which we are able to provide our in-office nuclear cardiology imaging services. Total consideration related to the Merger Agreement paid to the sellers was
610,000
shares of common stock of Digirad Corporation, with a total value at closing of
$2.7 million
. The Company issued new shares for the consideration. In addition, there is an earn-out opportunity of up to
$0.4 million
in cash over approximately three years based on the MD Office business meeting certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") milestones. At
December 31, 2016
, we have estimated the fair value of the contingent earn-out opportunity to be
$0.1 million
.

Fair Value Measurements
|
We categorize our assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities presented at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are generally categorized as follows:
|
Level 1:
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 2:
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Such assets and liabilities may have values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and include instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
|
As required by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our assets that were recorded at fair value as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015

The fair value of our corporate debt securities is determined using proprietary valuation models and analytical tools. These valuation models and analytical tools use market pricing or prices for similar instruments that are both objective and publicly available, including matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, and/or offers. We did not reclassify any investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2016
.
Equity securities consist of shares of Perma-Fix Medical, a publicly traded company listed on the NewConnect market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Fair value of the Perma-Fix Medical investment is based on the closing price observed on
December 31, 2016
.
The acquisition related contingent consideration is related to the acquisitions of Telerhythmics, on March 13, 2014, and MD Office , on March 5, 2015. We reassess the fair value of the contingent consideration on a quarterly basis using the income approach, which is a Level 3 measurement. The estimation of the fair value of the contingent consideration requires significant management judgment, including estimating future cash flows associated with the respective businesses, probabilities of achieving EBITDA milestones and determining the associated discount rate. The maximum possible consideration to be paid related to Telerhythmics and MD Office at their acquisition date was
$0.5 million
and
$0.4 million
, respectively. No minimum amount of contingent consideration is guaranteed to be paid related to either Telerhythmics or MD Office.
No
earn-out consideration was earned related
59
to Telerhythmics for the period from the closing date of March 13, 2014 through
December 31, 2016
. Contingent consideration of
$0.1 million
was earned related to MD Office for the period from the closing date of March 5, 2015 through
December 31, 2016
.

Goodwill
|
The value of our goodwill is primarily derived from the acquisitions of DMS Health in 2016, MD Office in 2015, Telerhythmics in 2014, and Ultrascan in 2007. During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, reporting units that carried goodwill balances included Digirad Imaging Solutions, Telerhythmics, and Medical Device Sales and Service. The combined Digirad Imaging Solutions and Telerhythmics reporting units make up the Diagnostic Services reportable segment.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, we performed a qualitative assessment for all reporting units to estimate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. In performing this qualitative assessment, we assessed relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of each reporting unit. Factors that were considered included, but were not limited to, the following: (1) macroeconomic conditions; (2) industry and market conditions; (3) overall financial performance and expected financial performance; (4) other entity specific events. Based on the results of this qualitative assessment, we determined that it is more likely than not that all reporting units were not impaired, with the exception of our Telerhythmics reporting unit.
The Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the carrying value of the Telerhythmics reporting unit were in excess of their respective values and therefore, updated its estimated fair value of these assets as of that date. This conclusion was based on lower than expected operating results during the year ended
December 31, 2016
, primarily as a result of lower sales volume and unfavorable mix in our cardiac event monitoring business. In performing the first step of the goodwill impairment assessment, we determined the fair value of the Telerhythmics reporting unit using both an income approach and a market approach. Under the income-based approach, we use a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several future periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. Actual results may differ materially from those used in our forecasts. The discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis reflects the risks inherent in the expected
60
future cash flows of the Telerhythmics reporting unit. Determining fair value using a market approach considers multiples of financial metrics based on both acquisitions and trading multiples of a selected peer group of companies. From the comparable companies, a representative market multiple was determined which was applied to financial metrics to estimate the fair value of the Telerhythmics reporting unit. We determined that the recorded carrying value of the Telerhythmics reporting unit exceeded its enterprise value in the first step and performed the second step of the impairment test in which we allocated the enterprise fair value to the fair value of the reporting unit's net assets. The second step of the impairment testing process requires, among other things, the estimation of the fair values of substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. Any enterprise fair value in excess of amounts allocated to such net assets represents the implied fair value of goodwill for that reporting unit. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of
$0.3 million
associated with the impairment assessment of the Telerhythmics reporting unit as of
December 31, 2016
.
Estimating the fair value of the reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments regarding future cash flows that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results, forecasted billings, revenue, and spend targets, discount rate assumptions, and long-term growth rate assumptions. The estimates and judgments described above could adversely change in future periods and we cannot provide absolute assurance that all of the targets will be achieved, which could lead to future impairment charges.
On January 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, and the subsidiaries of the Company, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement is a
five
-year credit facility, maturing on January 1, 2021, with a maximum credit amount of
$40.0 million
(the “Credit Facility”). It consisted of a term loan of
$20.0 million
(“Term Loan A”), a second term loan of
$7.5 million
(“Term Loan B”), and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of
$12.5 million
(the “Revolver”). Commitments under Term Loan A and the Revolver are subject to underlying eligible assets of the Company. In the case of the Term Loan A, underlying property, plant and equipment, and in the case of the Revolver, eligible accounts receivable and inventory, all as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of
December 31, 2016
, we had
$6.3 million
available under our revolving credit facility.
At the Company’s option, the Credit Facility will bear interest at a floating rate of either (i) the LIBOR Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin depending on the borrowing type as follows:
2.5%
for Term Loan A;
5.0%
for Term Loan B; and
2.0%
for the Revolver; or (ii) the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin depending on the borrowing type as follows:
1.5%
for Term Loan A;
4.0%
for Term Loan B; and
1.0%
for the Revolver. As further defined in the Credit Agreement, “Base Rate” means the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus
0.5%
, (b) the LIBOR Rate (which rate will be calculated based upon an interest period of one month and will be determined on a daily basis), plus
1.0%
, and (c) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, within Wells Fargo at its principal office in San Francisco as its “prime rate.” In addition to interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, the Revolver bears an unused line fee of
0.25%
, which is presented as interest expense.
At
December 31, 2016
, the total outstanding borrowings on the Credit Agreement, net of associated deferred financing costs, was as follows:

, which includes

of debt issuance amortization expense.
The Credit Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, events of default, mandatory prepayment requirements, as well as certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for Credit Agreements of this type. These covenants include restrictions on borrowings, investments, and divestitures, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to make certain restricted payments, including the amount of dividends paid. These restrictions do not prevent or prohibit the payment of dividends by the Company consistent with past practice, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Further, the Credit Agreement requires the
61
Company to maintain certain restricted cash, cash equivalents, and securities available-for-sale balances, at various decreasing levels through January 1, 2018, as cash collateral under the agreement. As of
December 31, 2016
, the Company was required to maintain
$4.0 million
as cash collateral, of which
$1.1 million
and
$2.0 million
has been classified within current and non-current restricted cash, respectively, and
$0.9 million
as available-for-sale securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company is permitted to make voluntary prepayments on amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty unless in connection with the full repayment of all amounts owed under the Credit Agreement. In the event that the Company fully repays all obligations and terminates the Credit Agreement prior to January 1, 2017, the Company shall be required to pay a prepayment penalty in the amount equal to
1.0%
times the maximum credit amount of the Credit Agreement. After January 2, 2017, the Company shall not be required to pay a prepayment penalty. Furthermore, the Company shall be required to prepay amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement in the event that the Company receives cash flows in excess of specified percentages upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the sale or disposition of assets or other property, legal judgments or settlements, sale of equity, and other payments received not in the ordinary course of business.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders may, among other things, declare the loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and increase the interest rate at which loans and obligations under the Credit Agreement bear interest. If an event of default occurs related to the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, the loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement shall automatically become due and payable. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of
December 31, 2016
.
Pursuant to a separate Guaranty and Security Agreement dated January 1, 2016, between the Company, its subsidiaries and Wells Fargo, the Credit Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of all shares and membership interests of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Leases
We currently lease facilities and certain automotive equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring from January 31, 2017 through November 30, 2021. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term and those renewal periods that are reasonably assured as determined at lease inception. The difference between rent expense and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent and is included in other current and long-term liabilities. Rent expense was approximately
$5.8 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
and
$1.3 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2015
and
2014
.
As of
December 31, 2016
, we financed certain information technology and medical equipment and vehicles under capital leases. These obligations are secured by the specific equipment financed under each lease and will be repaid monthly over the remaining lease terms through November 30, 2020.
62
We are committed to making future cash payments on non-cancelable operating leases and capital leases (including interest). The future minimum lease payments due under both non-cancelable operating leases and capital leases having initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of
December 31, 2016

Other Matters
In the normal course of business, we have been, and will likely continue to be, subject to litigation or administrative proceedings incidental to our business, such as claims related to customer disputes, employment practices, wage and hour disputes, product liability, professional liability, commercial disputes, licensure restrictions or denials, and warranty or patent infringement. Responding to litigation or administrative proceedings, regardless of whether they have merit, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. We are not able to predict the timing or outcome of these matters.

NOTE 9.
|
Share-Based Compensation
|
At
December 31, 2016
, we have two active equity incentive plans, the 2011 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan") and the 2014 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the "2014 Plan"), (collectively "the Plans"), under which stock options, restricted stock units, and other stock based awards may be granted to employees and non-employees, including members of our Board of Directors. Terms of any equity instruments granted under the Plans are approved by the Board of Directors. Stock options typically vest over the requisite service period of one to four years and have a contractual term of seven to ten years. Restricted stock units generally vest over one to four years. Under the Plans, we are authorized to issue an aggregate of
1,856,733
shares of common stock. As of
December 31, 2016
, the Plans had
582,983
shares available for future issuance. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan is subject to increase by any shares under the 2004 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the "2004 Plan") that are forfeited, expire, or are canceled. As of December 31,
2016
, the number of shares provided for issuance under the 2014 Plan due to forfeited, expired, and canceled shares under the 2004 Plan was
10,248
shares.
Stock Options
The estimated fair value of our stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model. All stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the common stock on the grant date. The weighted-average grant date fair value of employee stock options granted during the years ended December 31,
2016
, and
2014
was
$1.34
, and
$0.70
per share, respectively, which was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions. There were no employee stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2015.

The determination of the fair value of stock options using an option valuation model is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over a period of time equal to the expected term of the stock options. The expected term of our stock options
63
is based on historical experience. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is based on the current annualized dividend rate per share divided by the historical average stock price.

As share-based compensation expense under the authoritative guidance for share-based payments is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is reduced for estimated forfeitures. The guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
At
December 31, 2016
, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was
$0.2 million
, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.5
years.
Upon exercise, we issue new shares of common stock. Cash received from stock option exercises was
$0.8 million
during the year ended December 31,
2016
,
$0.6 million
during the year ended December 31,
2015
, and
$0.2 million
for the year ended December 31,
2014
. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was
$1.1 million
during the year ended December 31,

,
$0.2 million
during the year ended December 31,
2015
, and

Restricted Stock Units
Under guidance for share-based payments, the fair value of our restricted stock awards is based on the grant date fair value of our common stock. All restricted stock units were granted with no purchase price. Vesting of the restricted stock awards is subject to service conditions, as well as the attainment of additional performance objectives for certain of the awards. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the restricted stock units was
$5.28
,
$4.14
and
$3.81
per share during the years ended December 31,
2016
,
2015
, and
2014

As of
December 31, 2016
, we had federal and state income tax net operating loss carryforwards of
$91.8 million
and
$26.2 million
, respectively. Federal loss carryforwards will begin to expire in
2018
unless previously utilized. State loss carryforwards of approximately
$1.1 million
expired in
2016
, and less than
$0.1 million
is set to expire in
2017
, unless previously utilized. We also have federal and California research and other credit carryforwards of approximately
$1.8 million
and
$2.1 million
, respectively, as of both
December 31, 2016
and
2015
. The federal credits will begin to expire in
2018
. The California research credits have no expiration. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, use of our net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited because of a cumulative change in ownership greater than 50%. As of
December 31, 2016
, Digirad Corporation has not experienced a change in ownership greater than 50%; however, some of the tax attributes acquired with the DMS Health businesses are subject to such limitations due to ownership changes of greater than 50% on March 1, 2012 and on January 1, 2016. A valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets, as realization of such assets has not met the "more likely than not" threshold required under the authoritative guidance of accounting for income taxes.

Included in the unrecognized tax benefits of
$4.1 million
at
December 31, 2016
was
$3.4 million
of tax benefits that, if recognized, would reduce our annual effective tax rate, subject to the valuation allowance. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. and in various state jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. We are no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to
2012
; however, our net operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards arising prior to that year are subject to adjustment. Our policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The accrued interest as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and interest and penalties recognized during the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
, and
2014
were of insignificant amounts.

NOTE 11.
|
Employee Retirement Plan
|
We have 401(k) retirement plans under which employees may contribute up to
100%
of their annual salary, within IRS limits. The Company contributions to the retirement plans totaled
$0.6 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
and
$0.2 million
for each of the years ended December 31,
2015
and
2014
. The Company's contributions increased during the year ended
December 31, 2016
primarily due to the impact of the DMS Health acquisition on January 1, 2016.

NOTE 12.
|
Perma-Fix Medical Stock Subscription and Supply Agreements
|
On July 27, 2015, we entered into a Stock Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") and Tc-99m Supplier Agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with Perma-Fix Medical, S.A. ("Perma-Fix Medical"), a publicly traded company listed on the NewConnect market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Perma-Fix Medical is a subsidiary of Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: PESI). Perma-Fix Medical is developing a proprietary process to produce Technetium-99m ("Tc-99m") resin from non-enriched uranium sources for purposes of creating nuclear imaging isotopes. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, we invested
$1.0 million
USD in exchange for
71,429
shares of Perma-Fix Medical, which constituted approximately
5.4%
of the outstanding common shares of Perma-Fix Medical at the time of investment. Under Polish law, issuance of the shares required approval of the shares by a Polish court which occurred on October 12, 2015. The investment in Perma-Fix Medical is accounted for as an available-for-sale security. In connection with the Subscription Agreement, the Company's President and CEO was appointed to the Supervisory Board of Perma-Fix Medical. See Note 13 to the audited consolidated financial statements for further information regarding Perma-Fix Medical and Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc.
Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, should Perma-Fix Medical successfully complete development of the new Tc-99m resin, Perma-Fix Medical will supply us or our preferred nuclear pharmacy supplier with Tc-99m at a preferred rate and we will purchase agreed upon quantities of such Tc-99m for our nuclear imaging operations, either directly or in conjunction with our preferred nuclear pharmacy supplier.
Of the
$1.0 million
investment in Perma-Fix Medical, less than
$0.1 million
of value was allocated to the supply agreement with the remaining value allocated to the
71,429
Perma-Fix Medical shares. We immediately expensed the value associated with the supply agreement. In addition, we realized a loss of
$0.2 million
related to the
71,429
Perma-Fix Medical shares due to the initial excess of the transaction price over fair value. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of
$0.4 million
, reflecting the write-down of this investment to its fair market value of approximately
$0.3 million
, establishing a new cost basis.

Related Party Transaction
|
Mr. John Climaco currently serves as a Director of the Company and a member of the Corporate Governance and Strategic Advisory committees of the Board. Mr. Climaco also serves as a Director of Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: PESI). Further, on June 2, 2015, Mr. Climaco was elected as the Executive Vice President of Perma-Fix Medical S.A., a majority-owned Polish subsidiary of Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. As described in Note 12 to the audited consolidated financial
67
statements, on July 27, 2015, we entered into a Stock Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") and Tc-99m Supplier Agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with Perma-Fix Medical. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, we invested
$1.0 million
USD in exchange for
71,429
shares of Perma-Fix Medical. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, should Perma-Fix Medical successfully complete development of the new Tc-99m resin, Perma-Fix Medical will supply us or our preferred nuclear pharmacy supplier with Tc-99m at a preferred rate and we will purchase agreed upon quantities of such Tc-99m for our nuclear imaging operations, either directly or in conjunction with our preferred nuclear pharmacy supplier. In addition, in connection with the Subscription Agreement, the Company's President and CEO was appointed to the Supervisory Board of Perma-Fix Medical.
On January 1, 2016, we acquired DMS Health. With the acquisition of DMS Health, we now operate the Company in
four
reportable segments:
1.
Diagnostic Services
2.
Diagnostic Imaging
3.
Mobile Healthcare
4.
Medical Device Sales and Service
Diagnostic Services.
Through Diagnostic Services, we offer a convenient and economically efficient imaging and monitoring services program as an alternative to purchasing equipment or outsourcing the procedures to another physician or imaging center. For physicians who wish to perform nuclear imaging, echocardiography, vascular or general ultrasound tests, we provide the ability for them to engage our services, which includes the use of our imaging system, qualified personnel, and related items required to perform imaging in their own offices and bill Medicare, Medicaid, or one of the third-party healthcare insurers directly for those services. These services are primarily provided to smaller cardiology and related physician practice customers, though we do provide some services to hospital systems.
Diagnostic Imaging.
Through Diagnostic Imaging, we sell our internally developed solid-state gamma cameras and camera maintenance contracts. Our systems include nuclear cardiac imaging and general purposes nuclear imaging as well. We sell our imaging systems to physician offices and hospitals primarily in the United States, although we have sold a small number of imaging systems internationally.
Mobile Healthcare.
Through Mobile Healthcare, we provide contract diagnostic imaging, including PET, CT, MRI, and healthcare expertise to hospitals, integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”), and federal institutions on a long-term contract basis, but can also provide provisional services to institutions that are in transition. These services are provided primarily when there is a cost, ease and efficiency component of providing the services directly rather than owning and operating the related services and equipment directly by our customers.
Medical Device Sales and Service.
Through Medical Device Sales and Service, we provide contract sales and service efforts with our exclusive contract with Philips Healthcare within a defined region in the upper Midwest region of the United States. We primarily sell Philips branded imaging and patient monitoring systems, and collect a commission on these sales, though we never
take title to the underlying equipment. We also provide warranty and post-warranty services on certain Philips equipment within this territory related to equipment we have sold or other equipment sold in the territory.
Our reporting segments have been determined based on the nature of the products and/or services offered to customers or the nature of their function in the organization. For financial reporting purposes, our Digirad Imaging Solutions and Telerhythmics cardiac monitoring operating segments are aggregated within our Diagnostic Services reportable segment due to their similar economic and operational characteristics.
68
We evaluate performance based on the gross profit and operating income (loss) by each segment. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the definition of our segment operating income excludes transaction and integration costs of DMS Health. Prior periods have been recast to retroactively reflect this change. There were no other changes to our historical reportable segments as a result of the DMS Health acquisition beyond creating the reportable segments Mobile Healthcare and Medical Device Sales and Services. We do not identify or allocate assets by operating segment. Accordingly, assets are not being reported by segment because the information is not available by segment and is not reviewed in the evaluation of performance or making decisions in the allocation of resources.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
|

|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
|
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Excluding an assessment of internal control over DMS Health, which was acquired on January 1, 2016 as further discussed below, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
December 31, 2016
.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
|
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Based on our evaluation under the framework in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)
, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2016
.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
has been audited by BDO USA, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which we include herein.

|
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
|
Except as described below, there has been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended
December 31, 2016
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. On January 1, 2016, we acquired we acquired Project Rendezvous Holding Corporation, the holding company of DMS Health Technologies ("DMS Health"). We are in the process of integrating DMS Health into our overall internal control over financial reporting process. In accordance with the SEC's published guidance, because we acquired DMS Health during the current fiscal year, we excluded from our assessment at
December 31, 2016
the internal control over financial reporting of DMS Health. DMS Health constituted
$41.8 million
, or
39%
of our total assets,
$32.6 million
, or
49%
of our total net assets,
$63.3 million
, or
50%
of our total revenues, and
$2.2 million
, or
71%
of our total income from operations in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2016
.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Digirad Corporation
We have audited Digirad Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, based on criteria established in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Digirad Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 9A, Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As indicated in the accompanying Item 9A, Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Project Rendezvous Holding Corporation, the holding company of DMS Health Technologies ("DMS Health"), which was acquired on January 1, 2016, and which is included in the consolidated balance sheets of Digirad Corporation as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. DMS Health constituted
39%
of total assets as of December 31, 2016 and
50%
and
71%
of revenues and income from operations, respectively, for the year then ended. Management did not assess the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of DMS Health because of the timing of the acquisition which was completed on January 1, 2016. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Digirad Corporation also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of DMS Health.
In our opinion, Digirad Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, based on the COSO criteria
.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Digirad Corporation as of
December 31, 2016
and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and our report dated
February 28, 2017
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
