might, will, shall, should, could, intends, expects,
plans, goals, projects, anticipates, believes, seeks,
estimates, forecasts, predicts, possible, potential, target,
or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties,
many of which are outside our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations
and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
include, without limitation, statements reflecting managements expectations for future financial performance and operating expenditures

things, the unknown risks and uncertainties that we believe could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements
as set forth under the heading, Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K*. *New risks and uncertainties
emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the
forward-looking statements, including without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to:*

| our
ability to retain our clients and revenue levels, including effectively migrating new clients
and maintaining or growing the revenue levels of our new and existing clients; | |
| 
| our
ability to keep pace with a rapidly changing healthcare industry, including the use of artificial
intelligence (AI); | |
| 
| our
ability to maintain and protect the privacy of confidential and protected Company, client
and patient information; | |
| 
| our
ability to develop new technologies, upgrade and adapt legacy and acquired technologies to

and protect and enforce all of these and other intellectual property rights; | |
| 
| our
ability to attract and retain key officers and employees, and the continued involvement of
Mahmud Haq as Executive Chairman, Stephen Snyder as Chief Executive Officer and A. Hadi Chaudhry
as Chief Strategy Officer, all of which are critical to our ongoing operations and growing
our business; | |
| 
| our
ability to realize the expected cost savings and benefits from our restructuring activities
and structural cost reductions; | |
| 
| our
ability to comply with covenants contained in our credit agreement with our senior secured
lender, Provident Bank, and other future debt facilities; | |
| 3 | |
| 
| our
ability to continue to pay our monthly dividends which were suspended in December 2023 and
resumed in February 2025 to the holders of our Series A and Series B preferred stock (together

| our
ability to incorporate AI into our products faster and more successfully than our competitors,
protecting the privacy of medical records and cybersecurity threats; | |
| 
| our
ability to compete with other companies developing products and selling services competitive
with ours, and who may have greater resources and name recognition than we have; | |
| 
| our
ability to respond to the uncertainty resulting from pandemics, epidemics or other public
health emergencies and the impact they may have on our operations, the demand for our services,
our projected results of operations, financial performance or other financial metrics or
any of the foregoing risks and economic activity in general; | |
| 
| our
ability to keep and increase market acceptance of our products and services; | |
| 
| changes
in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; and | |
| 
| other
factors disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or our other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC). | |
*Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are reasonable,
we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should read this Annual Report on Form 10-K
with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially
different from what we currently expect. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of such forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.*

Summary
of Risk Factors
*The
following is a summary of the principal risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description
of each risk factor contained in Risk Factors in Part 1, Item 1A below.*
**
*Risks
Related to our Business*
**
| 
| The
continued success of our business model is heavily dependent upon our offshore operations,
and any disruption to those operations will adversely affect us. | |
| 
| Our
offshore operations expose us to additional business and financial risks which could adversely
affect us and subject us to civil and criminal liability. | |
| 
| Our
proprietary software or service delivery platform may not operate properly, which could damage
our reputation, give rise to claims against us, or divert application of our resources from
other purposes, any of which could harm our business and operating results. | |
| 
| Systems
failures, cyberattacks or other events and resulting interruptions in the availability of
or degradation in the performance of our websites, applications, products or services could
harm our business. | |
| 
| Data
privacy, identity protection and information security compliance may require significant
resources and present certain risks. | |
| 
| We
use and plan to expand our use of artificial intelligence, and challenges associated with
the development, deployment and regulation of AI technologies could adversely affect our
business, reputation and results of operations. | |
| 
| We
may not be successful in our artificial intelligence initiatives, which could adversely affect
our business, reputation, or financial results. | |
| 
| We
operate in a highly competitive industry, and our competitors may be able to compete more
efficiently or evolve more rapidly than we do, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, revenue, growth rates and market share. | |
| 
| If
we are unable to successfully introduce new products or services or fail to keep pace with
advances in technology, we would not be able to maintain our customers or grow our business,
which will have a material adverse effect on our business. | |
| 
| Changes
in the healthcare industry could affect the demand for our services and may result in a decrease
in our revenues and market share. | |
| 4 | |
| 
| If
providers do not purchase our products and services or delay in choosing our products or
services, we may not be able to grow our business. | |
| 
| If
the revenues of our customers decrease, or if our customers cancel or elect not to renew
their contracts, our revenue will decrease. | |
| 
| As
a result of our variable sales and implementation cycles, we may be unable to recognize revenue
from prospective customers on a timely basis and we may not be able to offset expenditures. | |
| 
| We
are required to collect sales and use taxes on certain products and services we sell in certain
jurisdictions. We may be subject to liability for past sales and incur additional related
costs and expenses, and our future sales may decrease. | |
| 
| If
we lose the services of Mahmud Haq as Executive Chairman, Stephen Snyder as Chief Executive
Officer, A. Hadi Chaudhry as Chief Strategy Officer or other members of our management team,
or if we are unable to attract, hire, integrate and retain other necessary employees, our
business would be harmed. | |
| 
| We
may be unable to adequately establish, protect or enforce our patents, trade secrets and
other intellectual property rights and we may incur significant costs in enforcing our intellectual
property rights. | |
| 
| Claims
by others that we infringe or may infringe on their intellectual property could force us
to incur significant costs or revise the way we conduct our business. | |
| 
| Current
and future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend and could result
in additional liabilities. | |
| 
| If
our security measures are breached or fail and unauthorized access is obtained to a customers
data, our service may be perceived as insecure, the attractiveness of our services to current
or potential customers may be reduced, and we may incur significant liabilities. | |
| 
| Our
products and services are required to meet the interoperability standards, which could require
us to incur substantial additional development costs or result in a decrease in revenue. | |
| 
| Disruptions
in internet or telecommunication service or damage to our data centers could adversely affect
our business by reducing our customers confidence in the reliability of our services
and products. | |
| 
| We
may be subject to liability for the content we provide to our customers and their patients. | |
| 
| We
are subject to the effects of payer and provider conduct that we cannot control and that
could damage our reputation with customers and result in liability claims that increase our
expenses. | |
| 
| Failure
by our clients to obtain proper permissions and waivers may result in claims against us or
may limit or prevent our use of data, which could harm our business. | |
| 
| Any
deficiencies in our financial reporting or internal controls could adversely affect our business
and the trading price of our securities. | |
| 
| We
maintain our cash at domestic and foreign financial institutions. Balances held domestically
may exceed federally insured limits. Foreign banking institutions do not provide bank deposit
insurance. | |
| 
| Our
goodwill was subject to impairment in 2023 and may be subject to further impairment in the
future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
condition, or future operating results. | |
| 
| We
are a party to several related-party agreements with our founder and Executive Chairman,
Mahmud Haq, which have significant contractual obligations. These agreements are reviewed
by our Audit Committee on an annual basis. | |
| 
| We
depend on key information systems and third-party service providers. | |
| 
| Rapid
technological change in the telehealth industry presents us with significant risks and challenges. | |
| 
| Our
business, financial condition, results of operations and growth may be adversely affected
by pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as COVID-19. | |
| 
| We
may be adversely affected by global climate change or market responses to such change. | |
*Risks
Related to Macroeconomics Conditions*
**
| 
| Our
operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions
and adverse economic conditions can materially adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition. | |
| 
| Our
managed medical practices and customers could face supply chain issues that would disrupt
their ability to service patients and therefore impact our revenue. | |
| 
| Volatility
in currency exchange rates may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows. | |
*Risks
Related to Our Acquisition Strategy*
**
| 
| If
we do not manage our acquisitions effectively, our revenue, business and operating results
may be harmed. | |
| 
| We
may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring additional companies. | |
| 
| At
the current prices of our common stock, we may be unable to execute accretive acquisitions. | |
| 
| We
may be unable to retain customers following their acquisition, which may result in a decrease
in our revenues and operating results. | |
| 
| Acquisitions
may subject us to liability with regard to the creditors, customers, and shareholders of
the sellers. | |
| 
| Future
acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence
of indebtedness and increased amortization expense. | |
| 5 | |
*Regulatory
Risks*
**
| 
| If
a breach of our measures protecting personal data covered by HIPAA or the HITECH Act occurs,
we may incur significant liabilities. | |
| 
| Actual
or perceived failures to comply with healthcare, data protection, privacy, security and fraud
and abuse laws and regulations could materially adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition. | |
| 
| The
healthcare industry is heavily regulated. Our failure to comply with regulatory requirements
could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity and negatively affect our business. | |
| 
| If
we do not maintain the certification of our EHR solutions pursuant to the HITECH Act and
Cures Act, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely
affected. | |
| 
| If
we or our customers fail to comply with federal and state laws governing submission of false
or fraudulent claims to government healthcare programs and financial relationships among
healthcare providers, we or our customers may be subject to civil and criminal penalties
or loss of eligibility to participate in government healthcare programs. | |
| 
| Potential
healthcare reform and new regulatory requirements placed on our products and services could
increase our costs, delay or prevent our introduction of new products or services, and impair
the function or value of our existing products and services. | |
| 
| Additional
regulation of the disclosure of medical information outside the United States may adversely
affect our operations and may increase our costs. | |
| 
| Our
services present the potential for embezzlement, identity theft, or other similar illegal
behavior by our employees. | |
*Risks
Related to Ownership of Shares of Our Common Stock*
**
| 
| The
conversion of the majority of the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock in March 2025
(the Conversion) increased the total number of outstanding shares, potentially
diluting the value of existing common shareholders equity. | |
| 
| Series
A Preferred Stock shareholders that converted their shares gained full voting rights upon
conversion of their preferred shares into common stock. | |
| 
| The
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and any subsequent conversions, may be perceived
negatively by the market. | |
| 
| The
Companys potential for future issuances of common stock following the Conversion could
be limited. | |
| 
| Our
revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate in future periods and we may fail
to meet investor expectations, which may cause the price of our common stock to decline. | |
| 
| Healthcare
reform may have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and
results of operations. | |
| 
| Future
sales of shares of our common stock could depress the market price of our common stock. | |
| 
| As
of December 31, 2025, Mahmud Haq controlled 12% of our outstanding shares of common stock,
which limits investors from influencing significant corporate decisions. | |
| 
| Provisions
of Delaware law, of our amended and restated charter and amended and restated bylaws may
make a takeover more difficult, which could cause our common stock price to decline. | |
| 
| Any
issuance of additional preferred stock in the future may dilute the rights of our existing
stockholders. | |
| 
| We
do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock. | |
| 
| Complying
with the laws and regulations affecting public companies will increase our costs and the
demands on management and could harm our operating results. | |
| 
| We
are a smaller reporting company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements
applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors. | |
*Risks
Related to Ownership of Shares of Our Preferred Stock*
**
| 
| In
December 2023 we suspended the payment of the dividends on the Preferred Stock. The Company
resumed paying monthly dividends in February 2025, paying one month of the arrearage each
month for the rest of the year. The Company has also announced that starting with the February
2026 dividend payment, it will start paying double dividends monthly on the Series B Preferred
Stock to reduce the dividends in arrears. We may not be able to continue to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock if we fall
out of compliance with our loan covenants and are prohibited by our bank lender from paying
dividends or if we have insufficient cash to make dividend payments. | |
| 
| Our
Series A and Series B Preferred Stock rank junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities. | |
| 
| We
may issue additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred
stock that rank on parity with the Preferred Stock as to dividend rights, rights upon liquidation
or voting rights. | |
| 
| Market
interest rates may materially and adversely affect the value of the Series B Preferred Stock. | |
| 
| Holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock may be unable to use the dividends-received deduction and may not
be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. | |
| 
| Our
Series B Preferred Stock has not been rated. | |
| 
| The
market price of our Series B Preferred Stock is variable and is substantially affected by
various factors. | |
| 
| A
holder of Preferred Stock has extremely limited voting rights. | |
| 
| The
Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible and investors will
not realize a corresponding upside if the price of the common stock increases. | |
| 
| Although
payment of the suspended dividends resumed in February 2025 and continued throughout the
year, there are still dividends in arrears and we may be unable to raise additional capital
without incurring excessive dilution. | |

| 9 | |
Medical
practices and health systems alike are transitioning to increasingly complex reimbursement delivery models. As an example, the industry
has been gradually shifting from fee-for-service payments to value-based/clinical outcomes-based care payments. This transition comes
in a multitude of forms including reimbursement models associated with quality incentive programs, capitation payments models, bundled
payments, and at-risk payer contracts.
There
are continuing legislative and regulatory reform efforts, as well as growing compliance requirements mandated by the federal government
and other governmental agencies. This ever-evolving regulatory landscape increases the pressure placed on healthcare organizations to
stay abreast of these changes and to remain in compliance. The complexities associated with emerging reimbursement models and continued
government regulations present opportunities for us as healthcare organizations seek out partners that offer a broad range of software
and services to help meet their needs.
Our
clients also have to account for the rising cost of health insurance, changes in health benefit plan design, and the impact that these
factors have had on the increase in patient consumerism. Patients are seeking lower cost care in response to insurance carriers shifting
more of the cost burden onto patients, causing healthcare organizations to reconsider the full patient experience. Healthcare providers
now need to think more deeply about patient expectations. This is especially true as COVID-19 has reshaped the sector and accelerated
its digital transformation.
Further
compounding the burden of rising health insurance cost is the ongoing shift in patient demographics. As the national population ages
into Medicare eligibility, the reimbursement received for procedures and services provided to these patients decreases. Medicaid is now
the largest insurance product in the country and continues to grow. Reimbursements overall are not increasing at the same rate as costs,
driving providers and practices to search for increased efficiencies and savings wherever possible.
Strategic-thinking
healthcare organizations across the country are aggressively addressing these new realities and are finding opportunities for growth
and expansion. We see medical groups across the country and within all specialties and market segments, growing through consolidation
and investing in their businesses at an accelerated pace. This is also leading clients to focus on delivering emerging and disruptive
care delivery settings. Much of this change is driving executives and leaders to assess their IT and data strategy and reevaluate their
adoption of next generation healthcare solutions. The healthcare industry has seen tremendous change over the last few years, with COVID-19
ushering in a new era of digital health. Our study of the evolving needs of our clients leads us to believe that there will be an increasing
need for our services and products and emerging needs for the products and services that we are already developing.
These
trends will fuel growth over the next several years. In order for healthcare organizations to continue to succeed, these new realities
require robust solutions and careful execution. Legacy tools that once powered these healthcare organizations are insufficient to support
their growth and long-term strategies. Our solutions facilitate the transition needed by these organizations to adopt the next generation
of healthcare solutions to drive their future growth. Our expansive product and services portfolio enables us to displace competitors
and gain market share across a vast array of specialties, care settings and customer segments across the country.
**Our
Business Strategy**
****
The
Company is focused on reducing costs, maintaining profitability and generating positive free cash flow in order to continue paying the
Preferred Stock dividends, including those that are in arrears. CareCloud is a market leading provider of technology-enabled and integrated
end-to-end Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions that help our clients with the business of medicine. Our mission is to
redefine the next generation of technology-enabled revenue cycle solutions. To that end, we invest significant resources toward improving
our current offerings and building new solutions that help transform our clients organizations with next generation technology.
We expect to have increased software capabilities and offer additional complementary business services that will address the needs of
the ever-changing, dynamic market conditions of the U.S. healthcare space.
| 10 | |
To
achieve our objective and mission, we employ the following strategies:
**Providing
comprehensive next generation RCM solutions to medical practices and hospitals.** We believe that healthcare providers are in need
of an integrated, end-to-end solution and a flexible service delivery model to manage the different facets of their businesses, from
care delivery software, to claim submission, financial reporting, and data analytics.
**Enhancing
our solutions.** We intend to continue to enhance our solutions with new functionality and features leveraging our own teams, partnerships,
and acquisitions. We will continue to dedicate resources to research and development to bolster our existing applications and drive new
opportunities for innovation on behalf of our clients.
**Expanding
into new categories/specialties/markets.**We are focused on always reassessing the market landscape, seeking new opportunities
to meet the needs of the clients in our addressable market with our products and services. This means developing new and exciting technologies,
launching new services, entering new specialties that can leverage our solutions and enabling growth for our clients or expanding into
adjacent markets that we may not serve today.
****
**Relentlessly
driving organic growth to expand our client base.**We believe the market for our expansive value proposition is underserved, and
we will continue to make investments to create awareness of our brand, optimize our sales and implementation lifecycles, and capture
greater market share. We are investing in our sales and marketing activities, partners, and products to expand our client footprint.
**Extending
our relationships with existing clients.**Our CareCloud Wellness offerings have been well-received allowing us to generate additional
recurring revenue from existing clients. We intend to increase the number of SaaS subscription licenses and services purchased by our
current clients as they use our solutions. We are also focused on converting SaaS clients into higher revenue per client offerings such
as revenue cycle management and other business services.
**Leveraging
significant cost advantages provided by our technology and global workforce.**Our unique business model includes our cloud-based
software and a cost-effective offshore workforce located in our Offshore Offices. We believe this operating model provides us with significant
cost advantages compared to other revenue cycle management companies and it allows us to significantly reduce the operational costs of
the companies we acquire.
**Developing
our partner ecosystem.** We offer an integrated partner ecosystem providing healthcare organizations access to a variety of innovative
solutions that complement our suite of products and services. Our partner ecosystem is a comprehensive collection of apps, services,
specialty solutions, and clinical connections. This is an integral part of our vision to be the premier cloud-based platform for healthcare.
As
the market continues to evolve, we may choose to build or partner for some or all of these solutions in order to broaden our product
set. In the longer term, we also envision how this will allow for frictionless flow of information and care-coordination capabilities
between medical providers and their patients.
****
Additionally,
given the nature of our large data repository, which is ever-growing as each patient encounter is captured, opportunities exist to potentially
monetize this data in an identified manner in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws to help improve clinical outcomes
and other financial metrics.
**Our
Offerings**
****
Our
solutions are designed to systematically drive clinical quality and patient outcomes, streamline staff and provider workflows and reimbursements,
as well as support different settings of care and healthcare models. Our product and service strategy is simple: we build products and
deliver solutions that meet our clients needs.
Through
the combination of our continued development of next generation solutions and strategic acquisition strategy, we provide comprehensive
products and services tailored for small medical practices, large physician groups and health systems, as well as industry partners.
We continue to optimize our technology offerings by integrating them into our application ecosystem and with other industry solutions.
The interconnectivity of our solutions will continue driving a consolidation of brands within our product architecture, aimed at improving
the awareness and alignment of our products to targeted industry segments.
| 11 | |
Our
robust product and service portfolio allows us to be both methodical and nimble across the healthcare organizations and market segments
we serve while providing a framework to create solution sets for the market today and more importantly, for what our clients will need
tomorrow.
We
believe that our fully integrated solutions uniquely address the challenges in the industry. In most cases the standard fee for our complete,
integrated, end-to-end solution is based upon a percentage of each clients healthcare-related revenues, with a monthly minimum
fee, plus a nominal one-time setup fee, which is competitively priced.
**Research
and Development**
****
Our
research and development focuses are on enhancing and expanding our service offerings while ensuring all offerings meet regulatory compliance
standards. We continually update our software and technology infrastructures, regularly execute releases of new software enhancements,
and adapt our offerings to better serve our medical group and health system clients confronting rapid changes in the healthcare market
space.
Our
agile software development methodology is designed to ensure that each software release is properly designed, built, tested, and released.
Our product, engineering, quality assurance, and development operations teams are located both onshore and offshore. We complement our
internal efforts with services from third-party technology providers for infrastructure, healthcare ecosystem connectivity needs such
as prescriptions, clinical laboratories, or specific application requirements.
| 12 | |
We
also employ product management, user experience, and product marketing personnel who work continually on improvements to our products
and services design.
**Clients**
****
We
estimate that as of December 31, 2025, we provided software and services to approximately 45,000 providers (which we define as physicians,
nurses, nurse practitioners, therapists, physician assistants and other clinicians that render bills for their services) practicing in
approximately 2,900 independent medical practices and hospitals, representing 80 specialties and subspecialties in 50 states allowing
for low revenue concentration risk.
In
addition, we served approximately 80 clients that are not medical practices, but are primarily service organizations who serve the healthcare
community. The foregoing numbers include clients leveraging any of our products or services and are based in part upon estimates where
the precise number of practices or providers is unknown.
We
service clients ranging from small practices to large groups and health systems. Our clients span from the single doctor independent
medical practices to large medical groups, including an enterprise specialty-specific healthcare organization with more than 4,600 providers
located across multiple states. We also service large major academic medical institutions, small and large hospitals and health systems
with service areas covering millions of patients.
**Sales
and Marketing**
****
Over
the past several years, organic growth has been a Company-wide focus. We have developed sales and marketing capabilities aimed at driving
the growth of our client base, including small medical practices, large groups, and health systems. We expect to expand by selling our
complete suite of software and services to new clients and up-selling additional solutions into our existing client base. We have a direct
sales force including team members focused on specific functional or divisional areas, such as CareCloud Force (workforce augmentation)
and medSR (healthcare IT consulting). This direct sales force is supplemented by offshore staff who support our sales and marketing efforts.
In addition, our direct sales are augmented through our partner initiatives and marketing campaigns. We continue to leverage and optimize
various digital channels to present our solutions, identify national events to demonstrate our integrated capabilities and expand our
participation in thought leadership and social communications to connect with the healthcare community.
| 13 | |
**Our
Growth Levers**
****
We
believe that we are in a good position to grow by leveraging a multi-faceted growth strategy.
****
**Organic
Growth and Direct Sales**
****
We
have organized our sales force into different segments to promote the respective products and services for that segment and best address
our clients needs and our markets. With this design, our sales team can address a clients specific needs, whether a new
client is seeking our products or services for the first time, or a current client is in need of additional solutions.
Our
marketing team operates in support of our sales force and provides specialized demand generation capabilities for sales efforts, product
marketing to align solutions and segments, customer communication and upselling initiatives, and drives a national tradeshow strategy
to showcase our brand. Our sales approach is consultative in nature for most of our offerings, which generally includes an analysis based
on a prospective clients needs, crafting service proposals, and negotiating contracts that culminate in the commencement of services.
Our
go-to-market strategy is designed to meet our customers needs. Our vast array of products and services allow us to craft solutions
that can meet our customers unique needs within a specific product category, client segment, or both.
**Growth
through Partnerships**
****
In
addition to our direct sales force, we maintain business relationships with third parties that utilize, promote, or support our sales
or services within specific industries or geographic regions. Some of these partners are customers through CareCloud Force and others
are more traditional channel partners who help promote our solutions. We believe we can further accelerate organic growth through industry
participants, whereby we utilize them as channel partners to offer integrated solutions to their clients. We have entered into such engagements
with industry participants, and developed application interfaces with numerous EHR systems, together with device and lab integration
to support these relationships.
**Growth
through Acquisitions**
****
The
Healthcare IT industry is highly fragmented, with many local and regional RCM companies serving small medical practices and hospitals.
We believe that the industry continues to be ripe for consolidation and that we can achieve significant growth through acquisitions.
We further believe that it is becoming increasingly difficult for traditional RCM companies, together with a variety of other healthcare
industry vendors and healthcare IT companies, to meet the growing technology and business service needs of healthcare providers without
a significant investment in an information technology infrastructure and the utilization of a talented, cost-efficient global team. Since
the Company went public in July 2014, we have completed over 20 transactions, acquiring complementary assets to grow our business. We
typically leverage our technology and our cost-effective offshore team to quickly deliver additional value to the newly acquired customer
base, while reducing costs. Often, we will incur initial costs associated with the integration of the acquired business with our existing
operations, but this early investment is designed to increase customer satisfaction and retention, while laying the foundation for long-term
accretion.
| 14 | |
**Competition**
The
market for RCM, practice management, EHR solutions, and related services is highly competitive, and we expect competition to increase
in the future. We face competition from other providers of both integrated and stand-alone RCM providers, practice management, and EHR
solutions, including competitors who utilize a web-based platform and providers of locally installed software systems.
Many
of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition and greater financial marketing. We also compete with various
regional RCM companies, some of which may continue to consolidate and expand into broader markets. We expect that competition will continue
to increase as a result of incentives provided by various governmental initiatives, and consolidation in both the information technology
and healthcare industries. Large groups and health systems that have grown through consolidation often realize economies of scale by
establishing billing and management offices to perform many of the services we offer themselves. In addition, our competitive edge could
be diminished or completely lost if our competition develops similar offshore operations in Pakistan or other countries, such as India
and the Philippines, where labor costs are lower than those in the U.S. (although higher than in Pakistan). Pricing pressures could negatively
impact our margins, growth rate and market share.
We
believe we have a competitive advantage, as we are able to deliver our industry-leading solutions at competitive prices because we leverage
a combination of our proprietary software, which automates our workflows and increases efficiency, together with a global team that includes
more than 300 experienced health industry experts onshore. These experts are supported by our highly educated and specialized offshore
workforce of approximately 3,300 team members at labor costs that we believe are approximately 17% the cost of comparable U.S. employees.
Our
unique business model has allowed us to become a leading consolidator in our industry sector, gaining us a reputation for acquiring and
positively transforming distressed competitors into an accretive acquisition.
**Employees**
****
Including
the employees of our subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2025, the Company employed approximately 3,650 people worldwide on a full-time
basis. Approximately 72% of our employees are focused on service and client delivery functions, approximately 12% are assigned to research
and development, and approximately 1% are engaged in sales and marketing. The balance of the employees is classified as general and administrative,
which includes support staff to maintain our offshore offices, a function that many businesses in other geographies might choose to outsource.
We also utilize the services of a small number of part-time employees. In addition, all officers of the Company work on a full-time basis.
During 2026, we anticipate further reducing our employee count.
**Voting
Rights of Our Directors, Executive Officers, and Principal Stockholders**
****
As
of December 31, 2025, approximately 15% of both the shares of our common stock and voting power of our common stock are held by our directors
and executive officers. Therefore, they have the ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval,
including the election of our directors, as well as the overall management and direction of our Company.

Item
1A. Risk Factors
**Risks
Related to Our Business**
****
**The
continued success of our business model is heavily dependent upon our offshore operations, and any disruption to those operations will
adversely affect us.**
The
majority of our operations, including the development and maintenance of our web-based platform, our customer support services and medical
billing activities, are performed by our highly educated workforce of approximately 3,300 employees in our Offshore Offices. Approximately
98% of our offshore employees are in our Pakistan Offices and our remaining employees are located at our smaller offshore operation center
in Sri Lanka. The performance of our operations in our Pakistan Offices, and our ability to maintain our Offshore Offices, is an essential
element of our business model, as the labor costs where our Pakistan Offices are located are substantially lower than the cost of comparable
labor in India, the United States and other countries, and allows us to competitively price our products and services. Our competitive
advantage will be greatly diminished and may disappear altogether if our operations in our Pakistan Offices are negatively impacted.
In
addition, changes in U.S. or foreign sanctions, export controls, or cross-border data transfer requirements could restrict our ability
to operate or to deliver services from our offshore locations, increase compliance costs, or require costly migration to alternative
delivery models.
Pakistan
and Sri Lanka have in the past experienced and could in the future continue to experience periods of political and social unrest, war
and acts of terrorism. Our operations in our offshore locations may be negatively impacted by these and a number of other factors, including
currency fluctuations, cost of labor and supplies, power grid and infrastructure issues, vandalism, and changes in local law, as well
as laws within the United States relating to these countries. Client mandates or preferences for onshore service providers may also adversely
impact our business model. Our operations in our Offshore Offices may also be affected by trade restrictions, such as tariffs or other
trade controls. If we are unable to continue to leverage the skills and experience of our highly educated workforce, particularly in
our Pakistan Offices, we may be unable to provide our products and services at attractive prices, and our business would be materially
and negatively impacted or discontinued.
We
believe that the labor costs in our Offshore Offices are approximately 15% - 17% of the cost of comparably educated and skilled workers
in the U.S. If there were potential disruptions in any of these locations, they could have a negative impact on our business.
**Our
offshore operations expose us to additional business and financial risks which could adversely affect us and subject us to civil and
criminal liability.**
The
risks and challenges associated with our operations outside the United States include laws and business practices favoring local competitors;
compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations, including employment and tax laws and regulations;
and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign operations subject us to numerous stringent U.S. and foreign laws, including
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (FCPA), and comparable foreign laws and regulations that prohibit
improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. and other business entities
for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Safeguards we implement to discourage these practices may prove to be less than effective
and violations of the FCPA and other laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, or other liabilities or proceedings against
us, including class action lawsuits and enforcement actions from the SEC, Department of Justice and overseas regulators.
| 16 | |
**Our
proprietary software or service delivery platform may not operate properly, which could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against
us, or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business and operating results.**
We
may encounter human or technical obstacles that prevent our proprietary or acquired applications from operating properly. If our applications
do not function reliably or fail to achieve customer expectations in terms of performance, customers could assert liability claims against
us or attempt to cancel their contracts with us. This could damage our reputation and impair our ability to attract or maintain customers.
There
are particular risks when we inherit technologies through the companies we acquire. These technologies, often developed by distressed
companies, were not created under our direct supervision and control and therefore may not have been developed in accordance with our
standards. Such acquired technologies could, and at times do, contain operational deficiencies, defects, glitches or bugs that may not
be discovered immediately or otherwise could have been avoided had we built the technology ourselves. Whether technology we develop or
technology we acquire, we will need to replace certain components and remediate software defects or bugs from time to time. There can
be no assurance that such defects or bugs, or the process of remediating them, will not have a material impact on our business. Our inability
to promptly and cost-effectively correct a product defect could result in the Company having to withdraw an important product from market,
damage to our reputation, and result in material costs and expenses, any of which could have a material impact on our revenue, margins,
and operating results.
Moreover,
information services as complex as those we offer have in the past contained, and may in the future develop or contain, undetected defects
or errors. We cannot assure you that material performance problems or defects in our products or services will not arise in the future.
Errors may result from receipt, entry, or interpretation of patient information or from interface of our services with legacy systems
and data that we did not develop and the function of which is outside of our control. Despite testing, defects or errors may arise in
our existing or new software or service processes. Because changes in payer requirements and practices are frequent and sometimes difficult
to determine except through trial and error, we are continuously discovering defects and errors in our software and service processes
compared against these requirements and practices. These defects and errors and any failure by us to identify and address them could
result in loss of revenue or market share, liability to customers or others, failure to achieve market acceptance or expansion, diversion
of development resources, injury to our reputation, and increased service and maintenance costs. Defects or errors in our software might
discourage existing or potential customers from purchasing our products and services. Correction of defects or errors could prove to
be impossible or impracticable. The costs incurred in correcting any defects or errors or in responding to resulting claims or liability
may be substantial and could adversely affect our operating results.
In
addition, customers relying on our services to collect, manage, and report clinical, business, and administrative data may have a greater
sensitivity to service errors and security vulnerabilities than customers of software products in general. We market and sell services
that, among other things, provide information to assist healthcare providers in tracking and treating patients. Any operational delay
in or failure of our technology or service processes may result in the disruption of patient care and could cause harm to patients and
thereby create unforeseen liabilities for our business.
Our
customers or their patients may assert claims against us alleging that they suffered damages due to a defect, error, or other failure
of our software or service processes. A product liability claim or errors or omissions claim could subject us to significant legal defense
costs and adverse publicity, regardless of the merits or eventual outcome of such a claim.
Our
physicians rely on our platforms (including the platforms we acquired) to be certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for
Health Information Technology (ONC). If this certification were to be challenged, we might face liability related to any
incentive that the physicians received in reliance upon such certification.

**Systems
failures, cyberattacks or other events and resulting interruptions in the availability of or degradation in the performance of our websites,
applications, products or services could harm our business.**
As
cybersecurity attacks continue to evolve and increase, our information systems could also be penetrated or compromised by internal and
external parties intent on extracting confidential information, disrupting business processes or corrupting information. Our systems
may experience service interruptions or degradation due to hardware and software defects or malfunctions, computer denial-of-service
and other cyberattacks, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications
services, fraud, military or political conflicts, such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, terrorist attacks, computer viruses,
or other events. Our systems are also subject to break-ins, sabotage and intentional acts of vandalism. Some of our systems are not fully
redundant and our disaster recovery planning is not sufficient for all eventualities. We have experienced and will likely continue to
experience system failures, denial of service attacks and other events or conditions from time to time that interrupt the availability
or reduce the speed or functionality of our websites and mobile applications. These events likely will result in loss of revenue. A prolonged
interruption in the availability or reduction in the speed or other functionality of our websites and mobile applications could materially
harm our business. Frequent or persistent interruptions in our services could cause current or potential users to believe that our systems
are unreliable, leading them to switch to our competitors or to avoid our sites, and could permanently harm our reputation and brands.
Moreover, to the extent that any system failure or similar event results in damages to our customers or their businesses, these customers
could seek significant compensation from us for their losses and those claims, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time-consuming and
costly for us to address. These risks could arise from external parties or from acts or omissions of internal or service provider personnel.
Such unauthorized access could disrupt our business and could result in the loss of assets, litigation, remediation costs, damage to
our reputation and failure to retain or attract customers following such an event, which could adversely affect our business.
**Data
privacy, identity protection and information security compliance may require significant resources and presents certain risks.**
****
We
collect, store, have access to and otherwise process certain confidential or sensitive data, including proprietary business information,
patient data, personal data or other information that is subject to privacy and security laws, business information and/or customer imposed
controls. Despite our efforts to protect such data, our business and our products may be vulnerable to security incidents, theft, improper
use of our products, systems, software solutions or networks, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification or destruction of information,
defective products and operational disruptions. The actual or perceived risk of theft, loss, fraudulent use or misuse of customer, employee
or other data as a result of a cybersecurity incident, as well as non-compliance with applicable industry standards or our contractual
or other legal obligations or privacy and information security policies regarding such data, could result in costs, fines, litigation
or regulatory actions. We could face similar consequences in the future if we, our suppliers, customers or other third parties experience
the actual or perceived risk of theft, loss, fraudulent use or misuse of data, including as a result of employee error or malfeasance,
or as a result of the imaging, software, security and other products we incorporate into our products. Such an event could lead customers
to select the products and services of our competitors. A cybersecurity incident could harm our reputation, cause unfavorable publicity
or otherwise adversely affect certain potential customers perception of the security and reliability of our services as well as
our credibility and reputation, which could result in lost sales.
We
operate in an environment in which there are different and potentially conflicting data privacy laws in effect in the various U.S states
and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate and we must understand and comply with each law and standard in each of these jurisdictions
while ensuring the data is secure. Government enforcement actions can be costly and interrupt the regular operations of our business,
and violations of data privacy laws can result in fines, reputational damage and civil lawsuits, any of which may adversely affect our
business, reputation and financial statements.
Some
of our contracts do not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability
in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations.
While we maintain general liability insurance coverage and coverage for errors or omissions, such coverage might not be adequate or otherwise
protect us from liabilities or damages with respect to claims alleging compromises of customer data, that such coverage will continue
to be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, or that such coverage will pay future claims. The successful assertion of one or
more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage, or results in changes to our insurance policies (including
premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have an adverse effect on our business.
**We
use and plan to expand our use of artificial intelligence, and challenges associated with the development, deployment and regulation
of AI technologies could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations.**
****
We
currently incorporate, and plan to further expand the use of, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across our products,
services and internal operations. AI is a rapidly evolving technology and its use presents significant technical, operational, legal,
regulatory, compliance, cybersecurity, privacy and reputational risks. AI technologies are probabilistic in nature and may produce inaccurate,
incomplete or misleading outputs, reflect or amplify unintended biases, or result in discriminatory or otherwise adverse outcomes. If
our AI-enabled products or services are perceived to be deficient, unreliable, biased or otherwise flawed, our reputation, customer relationships,
competitive position and business could be materially adversely affected, and customers may delay adoption of, reduce reliance on, or
discontinue use of our solutions.
| 18 | |
The
use of AI also increases the risk of cybersecurity incidents and unauthorized access to, disclosure of, or misuse of sensitive information,
including Protected Health Information (PHI) and other personal or proprietary data. Failures in our governance, controls
or safeguards relating to AI could result in violations of applicable privacy, security and healthcare laws and regulations, contractual
obligations or industry standards, including those applicable to certified health IT products, and could expose us to regulatory enforcement
actions, litigation, significant remediation costs, contractual liability and reputational harm.
Our
AI initiatives may rely on third-party technologies, tools, data sources or open-source components, over which we have limited control.
In addition, the legal and regulatory framework governing AI is rapidly evolving and uncertain. New or existing laws and regulations
may increase our compliance costs, require changes to our products or business practices, delay or limit deployment of AI-enabled solutions,
or expose us to additional liability. Further, our competitors may adopt AI technologies more quickly or more successfully than we do,
and market demand for AI-enabled healthcare solutions remains uncertain. If we are unable to effectively develop, govern and deploy AI
technologies, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
**We
may not be successful in our artificial intelligence initiatives, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial
results.**
****
We
have made, and expect to continue to make, investments to integrate AI into our products and update our products to enable our customers
to use Al for insights, digital experiences, and applications, as well as to use Al to enhance our own engineering and business operations.
Such integration and use of AI may become more important in our product offerings and operations over time. Our AI efforts may not be
successful and our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their offerings more successfully and efficiently than
we do and achieve greater and faster adoption, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our business
and financial results. In addition, given the rapidly developing nature of Al, we may fail to adequately adopt and adapt to technological
advancements, which may have a negative impact on our product development capabilities and adversely affect our business and financial
results.
**We
operate in a highly competitive industry, and our competitors may be able to compete more efficiently or evolve more rapidly than we
do, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue, growth rates and market share.**
The
market for revenue cycle management and healthcare IT solutions is highly competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future.
We face competition from other providers of both integrated and stand-alone practice management, EHR and RCM solutions, including competitors
who utilize a web-based platform and providers of locally installed software systems. Our competitors include larger healthcare IT companies,
such as athenahealth, Inc., eClinicalWorks, Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc., NextGen, R1 RCM and Veradigm, all of which may be able
to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, regulations or customer
needs and requirements. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition and greater financial marketing
and other resources than us. We also compete with various regional RCM companies, some of which may continue to consolidate and expand
into broader markets. We expect that competition will continue to increase as a result of incentives provided by the Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, and consolidation in both the information technology and healthcare
industries. Competitors may introduce products or services that render our products or services obsolete or less marketable. Even if
our products and services are more effective than the offerings of our competitors, current or potential customers might prefer competitive
products or services to our products and services. In addition, our competitive edge could be diminished or completely lost if our competition
develops similar offshore operations in Pakistan or other countries, such as India and the Philippines, where labor costs are lower than
those in the U.S. (although higher than in Pakistan). Pricing pressures could negatively impact our margins, growth rate and market share.
In
order to operate more efficiently, control costs and improve profitability, we incurred $154,000 and $606,000 of restructuring costs
in 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily consisting of severance and separation costs associated with the optimization of the Companys
operations and profitability improvements. There can be no assurance that these actions will achieve their intended benefits.
| 19 | |
**If
we are unable to successfully introduce new products or services or fail to keep pace with advances in technology, we would not be able
to maintain our customers or grow our business, which will have a material adverse effect on our business.**
Our
business depends on our ability to adapt to evolving technologies and industry standards and upgrade existing products and introduce
new products and services accordingly. If we cannot adapt to changing technologies and industry standards, including changing requirements
of third-party applications and software and meeting the requirements of our customers, our products and services may become obsolete,
and our business would suffer significantly. Because both the healthcare industry and the healthcare IT technology market are constantly
evolving, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to enhance our existing products and services, develop new technology
that addresses the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our customers, respond to technological advances and emerging industry
standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis, educate our customers to adopt these new technologies, and successfully
assist them in transitioning to our new products and services. The development of our proprietary technology entails significant technical
and business risks. We may not be successful in developing, using, marketing, selling, or maintaining new technologies effectively or
adapting our proprietary technology to evolving customer requirements, emerging industry standards or changing third party applications,
and, as a result, our business and reputation could materially suffer. We may not be able to introduce new products or services on schedule,
or at all, or such products or services may not achieve market acceptance or existing products or services may cease to function properly.
A failure by us to timely adapt to ever changing technologies or our failure to regularly upgrade existing or introduce new products
or to introduce these products on schedule could cause us to not only lose our current customers but also fail to attract new customers.
**Changes
in the healthcare industry could affect the demand for our services and may result in a decrease in our revenues and market share.**
As
the healthcare industry evolves, changes in our customer base may reduce the demand for our services, result in the termination of existing
contracts, and make it more difficult to negotiate new contracts on terms that are acceptable to us. For example, the current trend toward
consolidation of healthcare providers may cause our existing customer contracts to terminate as independent practices are merged into
hospital systems or other healthcare organizations. Such larger healthcare organizations may have their own practice management, and
EHR and RCM solutions, reducing demand for our services. If this trend continues, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue
to maintain or expand our customer base, negotiate contracts with acceptable terms, or maintain our current pricing structure, which
would result in a decrease in our revenues and market share.
**If
providers do not purchase our products and services or delay in choosing our products or services, we may not be able to grow our business.**
Our
business model depends on our ability to sell our products and services. Acceptance of our products and services may require providers
to adopt different behavior patterns and new methods of conducting business and exchanging information. Providers may not integrate our
products and services into their workflow and may not accept our solutions and services as a replacement for traditional methods of practicing
medicine. Providers may also choose to buy our competitors products and services instead of ours. Achieving market acceptance
for our solutions and services will continue to require substantial sales and marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant financial
and other resources to create awareness and demand by providers. If providers fail to broadly accept our products and services, our business,
financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.
**If
the revenues of our customers decrease, or if our customers cancel or elect not to renew their contracts, our revenue will decrease.**
Under
most of our customer contracts, which include RCM, we base our charges on a percentage of the revenue that our customer collects through
the use of our services. Many factors may lead to decreases in customer revenue, including:
| 
| 
reduction
of customer revenue as a result of changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), other legislation
or fluctuations in medical appointments due to future pandemics; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
a
rollback of the expansion of Medicaid or other governmental programs; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
reduction
of customer revenue resulting from increased competition or other changes in the marketplace for physician services; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
failure
of our customers to adopt or maintain effective business practices; | |
| 20 | |
| 
| 
actions
by third-party payers of medical claims to reduce reimbursement; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
government
regulations and government or other payer actions or inactions reducing or delaying reimbursement; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
interruption
of customer access to our system; and | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
our
failure to provide services in a timely or high-quality manner. | |
**As
a result of our variable sales and implementation cycles, we may be unable to recognize revenue from prospective customers on a timely
basis and we may not be able to offset expenditures.**
The
sales cycle for our services can be variable, typically ranging from two to four months from initial contact with a potential customer
to contract execution to six to twelve months to rollout services which require each customer to participate. During the sales cycle,
we expend time and resources in an attempt to obtain a customer without recognizing revenue from that customer to offset such expenditures.
Our implementation cycle is also variable, typically ranging from two to four months from contract execution to completion of implementation.
Each customers situation is different, and unanticipated difficulties and delays may arise as a result of a failure by us or by
the customer to meet our respective implementation responsibilities or by the customer for failure to disclose material information to
meet implementation requirements. During the implementation cycle, we expend substantial time, effort, and financial resources implementing
our services without recognizing revenue. Even following implementation, there can be no assurance that we will recognize revenue on
a timely basis or at all from our efforts. In addition, cancellation of any implementation after it has begun may involve loss to us
of time, effort, and expenses invested in the canceled implementation process, and lost opportunity for implementing paying customers
in that same period of time.
**We
are required to collect sales and use taxes on certain products and services we sell in certain jurisdictions. We may be subject to liability
for past sales and incur additional related costs and expenses, and our future sales may decrease.**
We
may lose sales or incur significant expenses should states be successful in imposing additional state sales and use taxes on our products
and services. A successful assertion by one or more states that we should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of our products and
services that we are currently not collecting could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, decrease our ability to compete
with healthcare IT vendors not subject to sales and use taxes, and otherwise harm our business. Each state has different rules and regulations
governing sales and use taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. We review
these rules and regulations periodically and, when we believe that our products or services are subject to sales and use taxes in a particular
state, we voluntarily approach state tax authorities in order to determine how to comply with their rules and regulations. We cannot
assure you that we will not be subject to sales and use taxes or related penalties for past sales in states where we believe no compliance
is necessary.
If
the federal government were to impose a tax on services performed abroad, we might be subject to additional liabilities. At this time,
there is no way to predict whether this will occur or estimate the impact on our business.
Vendors
of products and services like ours are typically held responsible by taxing authorities for the collection and payment of any applicable
sales and similar taxes. If one or more taxing authorities determine that taxes should have, but have not, been paid with respect to
our products or services, we may be liable for past taxes in addition to taxes going forward. Liability for past taxes may also include
very substantial interest and penalty charges. Nevertheless, customers may be reluctant to pay back taxes and may refuse responsibility
for interest or penalties associated with those taxes. If we are required to collect and pay back taxes and the associated interest and
penalties, and if our customers fail or refuse to reimburse us for all or a portion of these amounts, we will have incurred unplanned
expenses that may be substantial. Moreover, imposition of such taxes on our products and services going forward will effectively increase
the cost of those products and services to our customers and may adversely affect our ability to retain existing customers or to gain
new customers in the states in which such taxes are imposed.
We
may also become subject to tax audits or similar procedures in states where we already pay sales and use taxes. The incurrence of additional
accounting and legal costs and related expenses in connection with, and the assessment of, taxes, interest, and penalties as a result
of audits, litigation, or otherwise could be materially adverse to our current and future results of operations and financial condition.
| 21 | |
**If
we lose the services of Mahmud Haq as Executive Chairman, Stephen Snyder as Chief Executive Officer, A. Hadi Chaudhry as Chief Strategy
Officer, or other members of our management team, or if we are unable to attract, hire, integrate and retain other necessary employees,
our business would be harmed.**
Our
future success depends in part on our ability to attract, hire, integrate and retain the members of our management team and other qualified
personnel. In particular, we are dependent on the services of Mahmud Haq, our founder, principal stockholder and Executive Chairman,
Stephen Snyder as Chief Executive Officer and A. Hadi Chaudhry as Chief Strategy Officer. Mr. Haq is instrumental in managing our offshore
operations in our Pakistan Offices and coordinating those operations with our U.S. activities. The loss of Mr. Haq, who would be particularly
difficult to replace, could negatively impact our ability to effectively manage our cost-effective workforce in our Pakistan Offices,
which enables us to provide our products and solutions at attractive prices. Our future success also depends on the continued contributions
of our other executive officers and certain key employees, each of whom may be difficult to replace, and upon our ability to attract
and retain additional management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we compete for qualified personnel with other
employers. We may face difficulty identifying and hiring qualified personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation
and salary structure. If we fail to retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring, integrating and training their
replacements, and the quality of our services and our ability to serve our customers could diminish, resulting in a material adverse
effect on our business.
**We
may be unable to adequately establish, protect or enforce our patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and we may
incur significant costs in enforcing our intellectual property rights.**
Our
patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights are important assets to us. Various events outside
of our control pose a threat to our intellectual property rights, as well as to our products, services, and technologies. For instance,
any of our current or future intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or
litigation. Any of our pending or future patent applications, whether or not being currently challenged, may not be issued with the scope
of the claims we seek, if at all.
Our
success depends in part upon our ability to establish, protect and enforce our patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property
and proprietary rights. If we fail to establish, protect or enforce these rights, we may lose customers and important advantages in the
market in which we compete. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret law and contractual obligations
to protect our key intellectual property rights, all of which provide only limited protection. Our intellectual property rights may not
be sufficient to help us maintain our position in the market and our competitive advantages.
Trade
secrets may not be protectable if not properly kept confidential. We strive to enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees,
customers, contractors and business partners to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. However, the steps we
have taken may not be sufficient to prevent unauthorized use of our customer information, technology, and adequate remedies may not be
available in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets and proprietary information. Our ability to protect the
trade secrets of our acquired companies from disclosure by the former employees of these acquired entities may be limited by law in the
jurisdiction in which the acquired company and/or former employee resides, and/or where the disclosure occurred, and this leaves us vulnerable
to the solicitation of the customers we acquire by former employees of the acquired business that join our competitors.
Accordingly,
despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property for their competitive advantage.
Any such use could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Monitoring unauthorized
uses of and enforcing our intellectual property rights can be difficult and costly. Legal intellectual property actions are inherently
uncertain and may not be successful, and may require a substantial amount of resources and divert our managements attention.
We
have taken efforts to protect our proprietary rights, including a combination of license agreements, confidentiality policies and procedures,
confidentiality provisions in employment agreements, confidentiality agreements with third parties, and technical security measures,
as well as our reliance on copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret and unfair competition laws. These efforts may not be sufficient
or effective. For example, the secrecy of our trade secrets or other confidential information could be compromised by our employees or
by third parties, which could cause us to lose the competitive advantage resulting from those trade secrets or confidential information.
Unauthorized third parties may try to copy or reverse engineer portions of our products or otherwise infringe upon, misappropriate or
use our intellectual property. We may not be able to discover or determine the extent of any unauthorized use of our proprietary rights.
We may also conclude that, in some instances, the benefits of protecting our intellectual property rights may be outweighed by the expense.
| 22 | |
In
addition, our platforms incorporate open source software components that are licensed to us under various public domain
licenses. Open source license terms are often ambiguous, and there is little or no legal precedent governing the interpretation of many
of the terms of certain of these licenses. Therefore, the potential impact of such terms on our business is somewhat unknown. Further,
some enterprises may be reluctant or unwilling to use cloud-based services, because they have concerns regarding the risks associated
with the security and reliability, among other things, of the technology delivery model associated with these services. If enterprises
do not perceive the benefits of our services, then the market for these services may not expand as much or develop as quickly as we expect,
either of which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.
Legal
standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain and still evolving.
The laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States, and effective
intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which our products and services are distributed.
Any
impairment of our intellectual property rights, or our failure to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, could give our
competitors access to our technology and could materially and adversely impact our business and operating results. Any increase in the
unauthorized use of our intellectual property could also divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel and result in significant
additional expense to us, which could materially and adversely impact our operating results. Finally, we may be required to spend significant
resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights, including with respect to legal proceedings, which could result in
substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating
results.
**Claims
by others that we infringe or may infringe on their intellectual property could force us to incur significant costs or revise the way
we conduct our business.**
Our
competitors protect their proprietary rights by means of patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property.
We have not conducted an independent review of patents and other intellectual property issued to third parties, who may have patents
or patent applications relating to our proprietary technology. We may receive letters from third parties alleging, or inquiring about,
possible infringement, misappropriation or violation of their intellectual property rights. Any party asserting that we infringe, misappropriate
or violate proprietary rights may force us to defend ourselves, and potentially our customers, against the alleged claim. These claims
and any resulting lawsuit, if successful, could subject us to significant liability for damages and/or invalidation of our proprietary
rights or interruption or cessation of our operations. Any such claims or lawsuit could:
| 
| 
| 
be
time-consuming and expensive to defend, whether meritorious or not; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
require
us to stop providing products or services that use the technology that allegedly infringes the other partys intellectual property; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
divert
the attention of our technical and managerial resources; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
require
us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements with third-parties, which may not be available on terms that we deem acceptable; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
prevent
us from operating all or a portion of our business or force us to redesign our products, services or technology platforms, which
could be difficult and expensive and may make the performance or value of our product or service offerings less attractive; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
subject
us to significant liability for damages or result in significant settlement payments; and/or | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
require
us to indemnify our customers. | |
Furthermore,
during the course of litigation, confidential information may be disclosed in the form of documents or testimony in connection with discovery
requests, depositions or trial testimony. Disclosure of our confidential information and our involvement in intellectual property litigation
could materially adversely affect our business. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of intellectual property litigation
more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any litigation could significantly harm
our relationships with current and prospective customers. Any of the foregoing could disrupt our business and have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
| 23 | |
In
addition, contentions by a third party such as a vendor or partner that we may pose a threat to their intellectual property can disrupt
our ability to work with such party and/or our customers who rely upon that third partys product or services. Withdrawal of participation
by key vendors or partners would cause a disruption of services to our clients and a loss of customers, which could negatively affect
our business and financial performance.
**Current
and future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend and could result in additional liabilities.**
We
may from time to time be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought
by current and former clients in connection with commercial disputes and employment claims made by our current or former employees. Claims
may also be asserted by or on behalf of a variety of other parties, including government agencies, patients of our physician clients,
stockholders, the sellers of the businesses that we acquire, or the creditors of the businesses we acquire. Any litigation involving
us may result in substantial costs and may divert managements attention and resources, which may seriously harm our business,
overall financial condition, and operating results. Insurance may not cover existing or future claims, be sufficient to fully compensate
us for one or more of such claims, or continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured
or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, thereby reducing our operating results and leading analysts or potential investors
to reduce their expectations of our performance resulting in a reduction in the trading price of our stock.
**If
our security measures are breached or fail and unauthorized access is obtained to a customers data, our service may be perceived
as insecure, the attractiveness of our services to current or potential customers may be reduced, and we may incur significant liabilities.**
Our
services involve the web-based storage and transmission of customers proprietary information and patient information, including
health, financial, payment and other personal or confidential information. We rely on proprietary and commercially available systems,
software, tools and monitoring, as well as other processes, to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of such information.
Because of the sensitivity of this information and due to requirements under applicable laws and regulations, the effectiveness of our
security efforts is very important. We maintain servers, which store customers data, in the U.S. and offshore. Servers that store
patient health records are stored in the U.S. We also process, transmit and store some data of our customers on servers and networks
that are owned and controlled by third-party contractors in India and elsewhere. Increasingly, threat actors are targeting the healthcare
industry with ransomware and other malicious software. If our security measures are breached or fail as a result of third-party action,
acts of terror, social unrest, employee error, malfeasance or for any other reasons, someone may be able to obtain unauthorized access
to customer or patient data. Improper activities by third parties, advances in computer and software capabilities and encryption technology,
new tools and discoveries and other events or developments may facilitate or result in a compromise or breach of our security systems.
Our security measures may not be effective in preventing unauthorized access to the customer and patient data stored on our servers.
If a breach of our security occurs, we could face damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations,
possible lawsuits by individuals affected by the breach and significant remediation costs and efforts to prevent future occurrences.
In addition, whether there is an actual or a perceived breach of our security, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security
measures could be harmed and we could lose current or potential customers.
**Our
products and services are required to meet the interoperability standards, which could require us to incur substantial additional development
costs or result in a decrease in revenue.**
Our
customers and the industry leaders enacting regulatory requirements are concerned with and often require that our products and services
be interoperable with other third-party healthcare information technology suppliers. Although our products comply with the latest ONC
standards and provide seamless and secure access, use and sharing of electronic health records, market forces or regulatory authorities
could create software interoperability standards that would apply to our solutions, and if our products and services are not consistent
with those standards, we could be forced to incur substantial development costs. There currently exists a comprehensive set of criteria
for the functionality, interoperability and security of various software modules in the healthcare information technology industry. However,
those standards are subject to continuous modification and refinement. Maintaining compliance with industry interoperability standards
and related requirements could result in larger than expected software development expenses and administrative expenses in order to conform
to these requirements. These standards and specifications, once finalized, will be subject to interpretation by the entities designated
to certify such technology. We will incur increased development costs in delivering solutions if we need to change or enhance our products
and services to be in compliance with these varying and evolving standards. If our products and services are not consistent with these
evolving standards, our market position and sales could be impaired and we may have to invest significantly in changes to our solutions.
| 24 | |
**Disruptions
in internet or telecommunication service or damage to our data centers could adversely affect our business by reducing our customers
confidence in the reliability of our services and products.**
Our
information technologies and systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from various causes, including acts of God and other natural
disasters, war and acts of terrorism and power losses, computer systems failures, internet and telecommunications or data network failures,
operator error, losses of and corruption of data and similar events. Our customers data, including patient health records, reside
on our own servers located in the U.S., and our Offshore Offices. Although we conduct business continuity planning to protect against
fires, floods, other natural disasters and general business interruptions to mitigate the adverse effects of a disruption, relocation
or change in operating environment at our data centers, the situations we plan for and the amount of insurance coverage we maintain may
not be adequate in any particular case. In addition, the occurrence of any of these events could result in interruptions, delays or cessations
in service to our customers. Any of these events could impair or prohibit our ability to provide our services, reduce the attractiveness
of our services to current or potential customers and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
In
addition, despite the implementation of security measures, our infrastructure, data centers, or systems that we interface with or utilize,
including the internet and related systems, may be vulnerable to physical break-ins, hackers, improper employee or contractor access,
computer viruses, programming errors, denial-of-service attacks or other attacks by third-parties seeking to disrupt operations or misappropriate
information or similar physical or electronic breaches of security. Any of these can cause system failure, including network, software
or hardware failure, which can result in service disruptions. As a result, we may be required to expend significant capital and other
resources to protect against security breaches and hackers or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches.
**We
may be subject to liability for the content we provide to our customers and their patients.**
We
provide content for use by healthcare providers in treating patients. This content includes, among other things, patient education materials,
coding and drug databases developed by third parties, and prepopulated templates providers can use to document visits and record patient
health information. If content in the third-party databases we use is incorrect or incomplete, adverse consequences, including death,
may give rise to product liability and other claims against us. A court or government agency may take the position that our delivery
of health information directly, including through licensed practitioners, or delivery of information by a third-party site that a consumer
accesses through our solutions, exposes us to personal injury liability, or other liability for wrongful delivery or handling of healthcare
services or erroneous health information. Our liability insurance coverage may not be adequate or continue to be available on acceptable
terms, if at all. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or under-insured could harm our business. Even unsuccessful claims could
result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources.
**We
are subject to the effect of payer and provider conduct that we cannot control and that could damage our reputation with customers and
result in liability claims that increase our expenses.**
We
offer electronic claims submission services for which we rely on content from customers, payers, and others. While we have implemented
features and safeguards designed to maximize the accuracy and completeness of claims content, these features and safeguards may not be
sufficient to prevent inaccurate claims data from being submitted to payers. Should inaccurate claims data be submitted to payers, we
may experience poor operational results and be subject to liability claims, which could damage our reputation with customers and result
in liability claims that increase our expenses.
**Failure
by our clients to obtain proper permissions and waivers may result in claims against us or may limit or prevent our use of data, which
could harm our business.**
Our
clients are obligated by applicable law to provide necessary notices and to obtain necessary permission waivers for use and disclosure
of the information that we receive. If they do not obtain necessary permissions and waivers, then our use and disclosure of information
that we receive from them or on their behalf may be limited or prohibited by state or federal privacy laws or other laws. This could
impair our functions, processes, and databases that reflect, contain, or are based upon such data and may prevent use of such data. In
addition, this could interfere with or prevent creation or use of rules, and analyses or limit other data-driven activities that benefit
us. Moreover, we may be subject to claims or liability for use or disclosure of information by reason of lack of valid notice, permission,
or waiver. These claims or liabilities could subject us to unexpected costs and adversely affect our operating results.
| 25 | |
**Any
deficiencies in our financial reporting or internal controls could adversely affect our business and the trading price of our securities.**
As
a public company, we are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such
internal controls. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting.
In
the future, if we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis
and our financial statements may be materially misstated. In addition, our internal control over financial reporting would not prevent
or detect all errors and fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, 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 will be detected.
If
there are material weaknesses or failures in our ability to meet any of the requirements related to the maintenance and reporting of
our internal controls, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause
the price of our common stock and preferred stock to decline. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary to produce reliable
financial reports and to prevent fraud. If we have deficiencies in our internal controls, it may negatively impact our business, results
of operations and reputation. In addition, we could become subject to investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities,
which could require additional management attention and which could adversely affect our business.
**We
maintain our cash at domestic and foreign financial institutions. Balances held domestically may exceed federally insured limits. Foreign
banking institutions do not provide bank deposit insurance.**
****
The
financial markets recently have encountered volatility associated with concerns about the balance sheets of domestic banks, especially
small and regional banks who may have significant losses associated with investments that make it difficult to fund demands to withdraw
deposits and other liquidity needs. Although the federal government has announced measures to assist these banks and protect depositors,
some banks have already been impacted and others may be materially and adversely impacted. Our business is dependent on bank relationships
and we are proactively monitoring the financial health of such bank relationships. Continued strain on the banking system may adversely
impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Foreign banking institutions do not provide insurance against balances
held there.
**Our
goodwill was subject to impairment in 2023 and may be subject to further impairment in the future, which could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or future operating results.**
****
We
perform an annual goodwill impairment test on October 31st of each year, or more frequently if indicators for potential impairment
exist. As a result of the 2023 annual goodwill impairment test, we recorded impairment charges of approximately $2 million at that time.
Indicators that were considered included significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant negative
industry or economic trends, or a significant decline in our stock price and/or market capitalization or enterprise value for a sustained
period of time. While we believe the assumptions used in determining whether there was an impairment and the amount of any resulting
impairment were reasonable and commensurate with the views of a market participant, changes in key assumptions in the future, including
increasing the discount rate, lowering forecast for revenue and operating margin, selection of guideline public companies or lowering
the long-term growth rate, could result in additional charges; similarly, one or more changes in these assumptions in future periods
due to changes in circumstances could result in additional future impairments. During December 2023, the Company had an additional triggering
event as a result of the suspension of the payment of the dividends on the Preferred Stock. As a result of a December 2023 triggering
event, the Company recorded additional impairment charges of approximately $40 million. We cannot predict if or when a future goodwill
impairment may occur. Any additional goodwill impairments could have material adverse effects on our operating results, net assets, or
our cost of, or access to, capital, which could harm our business. For the year ended December 31, 2025, no additional goodwill impairment
was recorded. See Note 4, Goodwill and Intangible Assets - Net*, to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K for more details.
**We
are a party to several related-party agreements with our founder and Executive Chairman, Mahmud Haq, which have significant contractual
obligations. These agreements are reviewed by our Audit Committee on an annual basis.**
Since
inception, we have entered into several related-party transactions with our founder and Executive Chairman, Mahmud Haq, which subject
us to significant contractual obligations. We believe these transactions reflect terms comparable to those that would be available from
third parties. Our independent audit committee has reviewed these arrangements and continues to do so on an annual basis. Although we
have procedures in place to identify related party transactions, it is possible that such transactions could occur without being contemporaneously
identified, reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee.
| 26 | |
**We
depend on key information systems and third-party service providers.**
We
depend on key information systems to accurately and efficiently transact our business, provide information to management and prepare
financial reports. These systems and services are vulnerable to interruptions or other failures resulting from, among other things, natural
disasters, terrorist attacks, software, equipment or telecommunications failures, processing errors, computer viruses, other security
issues or supplier defaults. Security, backup and disaster recovery measures may not be adequate or implemented properly to avoid such
disruptions or failures. Any disruption or failure of these systems or services could cause substantial errors, processing inefficiencies,
security breaches, inability to use the systems or process transactions, loss of customers or other business disruptions, all of which
could negatively affect our business and financial performance.
**Rapid
technological change in the telehealth industry presents us with significant risks and challenges**.
The
telehealth market is characterized by rapid technological change, changing consumer requirements, short product lifecycles and evolving
industry standards. Our success will depend on our ability to enhance our solution with next-generation technologies and to develop or
to acquire and market new services to access new consumer populations. There is no guarantee that we will possess the resources, either
financial or personnel, for the research, design and development of new applications or services, or that we will be able to utilize
these resources successfully and avoid technological or market obsolescence. Further, there can be no assurance that technological advances
by one or more of our competitors or future competitors will not result in our present or future applications and services becoming uncompetitive
or obsolete.
**Our
business, financial condition, results of operations and growth may be adversely affected by pandemics, epidemics or other public health
emergencies, such as COVID-19.**
We
are subject to risks related to a public health crisis such as a global pandemic similar to the coronavirus (COVID-19). Numerous governmental
jurisdictions, including the State of New Jersey where we maintain our principal executive offices, and those in which many of our U.S.
and international offices are based, may impose shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government
orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of public health emergencies. Such orders or restrictions, and the
perception that such orders or restrictions could occur, could result in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home
policies, travel restrictions and cancellation of events, among other effects, thereby negatively impacting our customers, employees,
and offices, among others.
A
recession or prolonged economic contraction as a result of health emergencies could harm the business and results of operations of our
enterprise customers, resulting in potential business closures, layoffs of employees and a significant increase in unemployment in the
United States and elsewhere. The occurrence of any such events may lead to reduced income for customers and reduced size of workforces,
which could reduce our revenue and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The
prolonged impact of these public health emergencies is highly uncertain and unpredictable, depending upon the severity and duration of
the emergency and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Future financial impact cannot be estimated
reasonably at this time, but may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
**We
may be adversely affected by global climate change or market responses to such change.**
****
The
long-term effects of climate change are difficult to predict and may be widespread. The impacts may include physical risks (such as severe
rains and flooding as a result of climate change that has been experienced in Pakistan), social and human effects (such as population
dislocations or harm to health and well-being), and other adverse effects. The effects could impair, for example, the availability and
cost of certain products and energy (including utilities), which in turn may impact our ability to procure goods or services required
for the operation of our business at the quantities and levels we require. We may bear losses incurred as a result of, for example, physical
damage to, or destruction of, our facilities (such as our operation centers), and business interruption due to weather events that may
be attributable to climate change. These events and impacts could materially adversely affect our business operations, financial position,
or results of operation.
| 27 | |
**Risks
Related to Macroeconomics Conditions**
****
**Our
operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions and adverse economic conditions can materially
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial conditions.**
****
Adverse
macroeconomic conditions, including slow growth or recession, high unemployment, inflation, tariffs, tighter credit, higher interest
rates, labor shortages, and currency fluctuations, can adversely impact consumer confidence and spending and materially adversely affect
demand for our customers services. In addition, healthcare spending can be materially adversely affected in response to changes
in fiscal and monetary policy, financial market volatility, declines in income or asset values and other economic factors.
Adverse
economic conditions can also lead to increased credit and collectability risk on our trade receivables, the failure of financial institutions
and reduced liquidity. These and other impacts can materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition,
cash flows and the price of our common and preferred stock.
**Our
managed medical practices and customers could face supply chain issues that would disrupt their ability to service patients and therefore
impact our revenue.**
****
Medical
product shortages can represent a significant threat across the landscape of public health and health care delivery by undermining the
ability to provide timely and high-quality care to patients. This has been clear in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. If our managed
medical practices and customers have supply chain issues and cannot receive the medications, vaccines and other required medical supplies,
this can impact their ability to properly serve patients and thus our revenue would be negatively impacted.
**Volatility
in currency exchange rates may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.**
****
Our
international operations provide support for the U.S. operations. We are exposed to the effects (both positive and negative) that fluctuating
exchange rates have on translating the financial statements of our international operations, most of which are denominated in local currencies,
into the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in exchange rates may affect reported operating results in our international operations. As a result,
fluctuating exchange rates may adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows.
**Risks
Related to Our Acquisition Strategy**
****
**If
we do not manage our acquisitions effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.**
Our
future acquisitions may require greater than anticipated investment of operational and financial resources as we seek to migrate customers
of these companies to our solutions. Acquisitions also require the integration of different software and services, assimilation of new
employees, diversion of management and IT resources, and increases in administrative costs. Acquisitions may also require additional
costs associated with any debt or equity financings undertaken to pay for such acquisitions. We cannot assure you that any acquisition
we undertake will be successful. Future growth will also place additional demands on our customer support, sales, and marketing resources,
and may require us to hire and train additional employees. We will need to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate
our growth. The failure to manage our growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business.
**We
may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring additional companies.**
We
have no unconditional commitments with respect to any acquisition as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although we expect
that one or more acquisition opportunities will become available in the future, we may not be able to acquire additional companies at
all or on terms favorable to us. We will likely need additional financing for such acquisitions, but there is no assurance that we will
be able to borrow funds or raise capital through the issuance of our equity on favorable terms. Certain of our larger, better capitalized
competitors may seek to acquire some of the companies we may be interested in. Competition for acquisitions would likely increase acquisition
prices and result in us having fewer acquisition opportunities.
Depending
on the type of business we acquire (e.g., RCM, practice management, EHR, etc.), we may have varying cost saving and/or cross-selling
opportunities with the acquired business. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve anticipated cost savings and cross-selling
on our acquisitions, and failure to do so may mean we overpaid for such acquisitions.
| 28 | |
In
completing any future acquisitions, we will rely upon the representations, warranties and indemnities made by the sellers with respect
to each acquisition as well as our own due diligence investigation. We cannot be assured that such representations and warranties will
be true and correct or that our due diligence will uncover all materially adverse facts relating to the operations and financial condition
of the acquired companies or their customers. Nor can we be assured that any available insurance will cover all such losses. To the extent
that we are required to pay for obligations of an acquired company, or if material misrepresentations exist, we may not realize the expected
benefit from such acquisition and we will have overpaid in cash and/or stock for the value received in that acquisition.
****
**At
the current price of our common stock, we may be unable to execute accretive acquisitions.**
****
At
times we have used our common stock to pay in part for acquisitions. Due to the lower market price of the common stock, we may not be
able to use this security to execute future acquisitions.
**We
may be unable to retain customers following their acquisition, which may result in a decrease in our revenues and operating results.**
****
Customers
of the businesses we acquire often have the right to terminate their service contracts for any reason at any time upon notice of 90 days
or less. These customers may elect to terminate their contracts as a result of our acquisition or choose not to renew their contracts
upon expiration. Legal and practical limitations on our ability to enforce non-competition and non-solicitation provisions against customer
representatives and sales personnel that leave the businesses we acquire to join competitors may result in the loss of customers. In
the past, our failure to retain acquired customers has at times resulted in decreases in our revenues. Our inability to retain customers
of businesses we acquire could adversely affect our ability to benefit from those acquisitions and to grow our future revenues and operating
income.
**Acquisitions
may subject us to liability with regard to the creditors, customers, and shareholders of the sellers.**
While
we attempt to limit our exposure to the liabilities associated with the businesses we acquire, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful
in avoiding all material liability. Regardless of how we structure the acquisition, whether as an asset purchase, stock purchase, merger
or other business combination, creditors, customers, vendors, governmental agencies and other parties at times seek to hold us accountable
for unpaid debts, breach of contract claims, regulatory violations and other liabilities that relate to the business we acquired. Disaffected
shareholders of the businesses we acquire have also attempted to interfere with our business acquisitions or brought claims against us.
We attempt to minimize all of these risks through thorough due diligence, negotiating indemnities and holdbacks, obtaining relevant representations
from sellers, procuring insurance coverage and leveraging experienced professionals when appropriate.
**Future
acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization
expense.**
Future
acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities,
the write-off of software development costs and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
**Regulatory
Risks**
**If
a breach of our measures protecting personal data covered by HIPAA or the HITECH Act occurs, we may incur significant liabilities.**
The
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (HIPAA), and the regulations that have been issued
under it contain substantial restrictions and requirements with respect to the use, collection, storage and disclosure of individuals
protected health information. Under HIPAA, covered entities must establish administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect
the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information maintained or transmitted by them or by others
on their behalf. In February 2009, HIPAA was amended by the HITECH Act to add provisions that impose certain of HIPAAs privacy
and security requirements directly upon business associates of covered entities. Under HIPAA and the HITECH Act, our customers are covered
entities and we are a business associate of our customers as a result of our contractual obligations to perform certain services for
those customers. The HITECH Act transferred enforcement authority of the security rule from CMS to the Office for Civil Rights of HHS,
thereby consolidating authority over the privacy and security rules under a single office within HHS. Further, HITECH empowered state
attorneys general to enforce HIPAA.
| 29 | |
The
HITECH Act heightened enforcement of privacy and security rules, indicating that the imposition of penalties will be more common in the
future and such penalties will be more severe. For example, the HITECH Act requires that the HHS fully investigate all complaints if
a preliminary investigation of the facts indicates a possible violation due to willful neglect and imposes penalties if
such neglect is found. Further, where our liability as a business associate to our customers was previously merely contractual in nature,
the HITECH Act now treats the breach of duty under an agreement by a business associate to carry the same liability as if the covered
entity engaged in the breach. In other words, as a business associate, we are now directly responsible for complying with HIPAA. We may
find ourselves subject to increased liability as a possible liable party and we may incur increased costs as we perform our obligations
to our customers under our agreements with them.
Finally,
regulations also require business associates to notify covered entities, who in turn must notify affected individuals and government
authorities of data security breaches involving unsecured protected health information. We have performed an assessment of the potential
risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic health information. In response to this risk
analysis, we implemented and maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards intended to protect all personal data and have
processes in place to assist us in complying with applicable laws and regulations regarding the protection of this data and properly
responding to any security incidents. If we knowingly breach the HITECH Acts requirements, we could be exposed to criminal liability.
A breach of our safeguards and processes could expose us to civil penalties of up to $1.5 million for each incident and the possibility
of civil litigation.
**Actual
or perceived failures to comply with healthcare, data protection, privacy, security and fraud and abuse laws and regulations could materially
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.**
The
healthcare industry is subject to extensive and evolving federal, state and foreign laws, regulations, standards and contractual obligations,
including those governing healthcare operations, data protection, privacy and security, fraud and abuse and the handling of sensitive
information. The global data protection and privacy landscape continues to evolve rapidly, and we are or may become subject to additional
or more stringent requirements governing the collection, use, disclosure, retention, transfer and security of personal information, including
health information. Compliance with these requirements is complex, costly and resource-intensive, and changes in laws, regulations or
their interpretation or enforcement may restrict our operations, require modifications to our products or services, increase our costs
or expose us to liability.
Any
failure, or perceived failure, by us or our third-party service providers to comply with applicable laws, regulations, industry standards,
contractual obligations or internal policies could result in regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, civil litigation, contractual
liability, fines, penalties, negative publicity or reputational harm, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, we are subject to contractual and other obligations relating to privacy, data protection
and information security that may be more stringent than applicable legal requirements, which may increase compliance costs, slow sales
cycles or limit customer adoption of our products and services.
HIPAA
and its implementing regulations impose significant requirements relating to the privacy and security of protected health information
(PHI). We are subject to HIPAA and related contractual obligations, including obligations to safeguard PHI and to enter
into business associate agreements with certain third-party vendors. Any failure by us or our vendors to comply with these obligations
could expose us and our customers to significant contractual, civil or regulatory liability. We also process certain de-identified data
subject to HIPAA requirements, which requires safeguards to prevent re-identification and compliance obligations if re-identification
occurs.
In
the ordinary course of our business, we collect, process and store sensitive information, including proprietary business information,
intellectual property and personally identifiable information. Any data security incident involving us or our third-party vendors could
result in regulatory investigations, reporting obligations, enforcement actions, litigation, fines or penalties under applicable federal
and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as well as reputational harm, any of which
could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In
addition, certain federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to us indirectly through
our relationships with healthcare providers, customers and partners. Violations of these laws can result in substantial civil and criminal
penalties, exclusion from government healthcare programs and reputational harm. If we are found to have violated, or facilitated the
violation of, such laws, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
| 30 | |
**The
healthcare industry is heavily regulated. Our failure to comply with regulatory requirements could create liability for us, result in
adverse publicity and negatively affect our business.**
The
healthcare industry is heavily regulated and is constantly evolving due to the changing political, legislative, regulatory landscape
and other factors. Many healthcare laws are complex, and their application to specific services and relationships may not be clear. In
particular, many existing healthcare laws and regulations, when enacted, did not anticipate or address the services that we provide.
Further, healthcare laws differ from state to state and it is difficult to ensure that our business, products and services comply with
evolving laws in all states. By way of example, certain federal and state laws forbid billing based on referrals between individuals
or entities that have various financial, ownership, or other business relationships with healthcare providers. These laws vary widely
from state to state, and one of the federal laws governing these relationships, known as the Stark Law, is very complex in its application.
Similarly, many states have laws forbidding physicians from practicing medicine in partnership with non-physicians, such as business
corporations, as well as laws or regulations forbidding splitting of physician fees with non-physicians or others. Other federal and
state laws restrict assignment of claims for reimbursement from government-funded programs, the manner in which business service companies
may handle payments for such claims and the methodology under which business services companies may be compensated for such services.
The
21st Century Cures Act (the Cures Act), passed by Congress in 2016, is meant to improve various aspects of the
healthcare industry, including interoperability and information blocking. The Cures Acts interoperability provisions relate to
Information Exchange and Certification administered by the ONC. The certification involves complex and specific requirements related
to various types of requests for the access, exchange or use of Electronic Health Information. In addition, the information blocking
rule aims to resolve concerns that individuals in the healthcare industry intentionally prevent the exchange of information between multiple
stakeholders. The Cures Act allows for penalties for stakeholders, including but not limited to, health IT developers and providers who
do not comply with same. While we remain committed to efficient exchange of information in the healthcare industry and continue meeting
all new certification requirements, failure to comply with these regulatory requirements, could create liability for us, result in adverse
publicity and negatively affect our business.
The
Office of Inspector General (the OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services (the HHS) has a longstanding
concern that percentage-based billing arrangements may increase the risk of improper billing practices. In addition, certain states have
adopted laws or regulations forbidding splitting of fees with non-physicians which may be interpreted to prevent business service providers,
including medical billing providers, from using a percentage-based billing arrangement. The OIG and HHS recommend that medical billing
companies develop and implement comprehensive compliance programs to mitigate this risk. While we have developed and implemented a comprehensive
billing compliance program that we believe is consistent with these recommendations, our failure to ensure compliance with controlling
legal requirements, accurately anticipate the application of these laws and regulations to our business and contracting model, or other
failure to comply with regulatory requirements, could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity and negatively affect our
business.
The
federal Anti-Kickback Statute (the AKS) prohibits us from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing
remuneration in exchange for referrals or recommendations for purposes of selling products or services which are paid for by federal
healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, a claim including products or services resulting from a violation of
the AKS constitutes a violation of the federal False Claims Act (the FCA). If we are determined to have violated the FCA,
we may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties for each separate
whether by our current practices or for the past practices of a company we acquire, we may be subject to substantial civil damages and
criminal penalties and fines that could have a material adverse impact on our business.
In
addition, federal and state legislatures and agencies periodically consider proposals to revise aspects of the healthcare industry or
to revise or create additional statutory and regulatory requirements. For instance, the current administration may make changes to the
ACA, the nature and scope of which are presently unknown. Similarly, certain computer software products are regulated as medical devices
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. While the Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) has sometimes chosen to
disclaim authority to, or to refrain from actively regulating certain software products which are similar to our products, this area
of medical device regulation remains in flux. We expect that the FDA will continue to be active in exploring legal regimes for regulating
computer software intended for use in healthcare settings. Any additional regulation can be expected to impose additional overhead costs
on us and should we fail to adequately meet these legal obligations, we could face potential regulatory action. Regulatory authorities
such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services may also impose functionality standards with regard to electronic prescribing
technologies. If implemented, proposals like these could impact our operations, the use of our services and our ability to market new
services, or could create unexpected liabilities for us. We cannot predict what changes to laws or regulations might be made in the future
or how those changes could affect our business or our operating costs.
| 31 | |
Further,
our ability to provide our telehealth services in each state is dependent upon a states treatment of telehealth and emerging technologies
(such as digital health services), which are subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences. Many states have laws that
limit or restrict the practice of telehealth, such as laws that require a provider to be licensed and/or physically located in the same
state where the patient is located. For example, California, Massachusetts, and Oregon, among others, are not members of the Interstate
Medical Licensure Compact, which streamlines the process by which physicians licensed in one state are able to practice in other participating
states. Failure to comply with these laws could result in denials of reimbursement for services (to the extent such services are billed),
recoupments of prior payments, professional discipline for providers or civil or criminal penalties.
**If
we do not maintain the certification of our EHR solutions pursuant to the HITECH Act and Cures Act, our business, financial condition
and results of operations will be adversely affected.**
The
HITECH Act provides financial incentives for healthcare providers that demonstrate meaningful use of an EHR and mandates
use of health information technology systems that are certified according to technical standards developed under the supervision of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The HITECH Act also imposes certain requirements upon governmental
agencies to use, and requires healthcare providers, health plans, and insurers contracting with such agencies to use, systems that are
certified according to such standards. The healthcare IT industry continues to experience changes as a result of new laws, regulations,
and changes to healthcare industry standards. For instance, the meaningful use incentive program has since expired and has been consolidated,
among other incentive programs, within the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), which was created as part of the
Quality Payment Program (QPP), launched by CMS after passage of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
MACRA and regulations promulgated by it change the way CMS rewards clinicians in the healthcare industry by rewarding value-based care
over volume-based care. MIPS requires substantial reporting mechanisms based on clinical quality measures that highly depend on reporting
feature within EHR systems.
The
HITECH and Cures Acts (as described in more detail above) contain certification requirements which affect our business because we have
invested and continue to invest in conforming our products and services to these standards. HHS has developed certification programs
for electronic health records and health information exchanges. Our web-based EHR solutions have been certified as complete EHR systems
by ICSA Labs or Drummond Group, non-governmental, independent certifying bodies. We must ensure that our EHR solutions continue to be
certified according to applicable HITECH Act and Cures Act technical standards so that our customers qualify for any MIPS/MACRA incentive
payments and are not subject to penalties for non-compliance. Failure to maintain this certification under the HITECH Act and Cures Act
could jeopardize our relationships with customers who are relying upon us to provide certified software and will make our products and
services less attractive to customers than the offerings of other EHR vendors who maintain certification of their products.
**If
we or our customers fail to comply with federal and state laws governing submission of false or fraudulent claims to government healthcare
programs and financial relationships among healthcare providers, we or our customers may be subject to civil and criminal penalties or
loss of eligibility to participate in government healthcare programs.**
As
a participant in the healthcare industry, our operations and relationships, and those of our customers, are regulated by a number of
federal, state and local governmental entities. The impact of these regulations can adversely affect us even though we may not be directly
regulated by specific healthcare laws and regulations. We must ensure that our products and services can be used by our customers in
a manner that complies with those laws and regulations. Inability of our customers to do so could affect the marketability of our products
and services or our compliance with our customer contracts, or even expose us to direct liability under the theory that we had assisted
our customers in a violation of healthcare laws or regulations. A number of federal and state laws, including anti-kickback restrictions
and laws prohibiting the submission of false or fraudulent claims, apply to healthcare providers and others that make, offer, seek or
receive referrals or payments for products or services that may be paid for through any federal or state healthcare program and, in some
instances, any private program. These laws are complex and their application to our specific services and relationships may not be clear
and may be applied to our business in ways that we do not anticipate. Federal and state regulatory and law enforcement authorities have
recently increased enforcement activities with respect to Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse regulations and other healthcare reimbursement
laws and rules. From time to time, participants in the healthcare industry receive inquiries or subpoenas to produce documents in connection
with government investigations. We could be required to expend significant time and resources to comply with these requests, and the
attention of our management team could be diverted by these efforts. The occurrence of any of these events could give our customers the
right to terminate our contracts with us and result in significant harm to our business and financial condition.
| 32 | |
These
laws and regulations may change rapidly, and it is frequently unclear how they apply to our business. Any failure of our products or
services to comply with these laws and regulations could result in substantial civil or criminal liability and could, among other things,
adversely affect demand for our services, invalidate all or portions of some of our contracts with our customers, require us to change
or terminate some portions of our business, require us to refund portions of our revenue, cause us to be disqualified from serving customers
doing business with government payers, and give our customers the right to terminate our contracts with them, any one of which could
have an adverse effect on our business.
**Potential
healthcare reform and new regulatory requirements placed on our products and services could increase our costs, delay or prevent our
introduction of new products or services, and impair the function or value of our existing products and services.**
Our
products and services may be significantly impacted by healthcare reform initiatives and will be subject to increasing regulatory requirements,
either of which could negatively impact our business in a multitude of ways. If substantive healthcare reform or applicable regulatory
requirements are adopted, we may have to change or adapt our products and services to comply. Reform or changing regulatory requirements
may also render our products or services obsolete or may block us from accomplishing our work or from developing new products or services.
This may in turn impose additional costs upon us to adapt to the new operating environment or to further develop or modify our products
and services. Such reforms may also make the introduction of new products and service costlier or more time-consuming than we currently
anticipate. These changes may also prevent our introduction of new products and services or make the continuation or maintenance of our
existing products and services unprofitable or impossible.
**Additional
regulation of the disclosure of medical information outside the United States may adversely affect our operations and may increase our
costs.**
Federal
or state governmental authorities may impose additional data security standards or additional privacy or other restrictions on the collection,
use, transmission, and other disclosures of medical information. Legislation has been proposed at various times at both the federal and
the state level that would limit, forbid, or regulate the use or transmission of medical information outside of the United States. Such
legislation, if adopted, may render our use of our servers in Offshore Offices for work related to such data impracticable or substantially
more expensive. Alternative processing of such information within the United States may involve substantial delay in implementation and
increased cost.
**Our
services present the potential for embezzlement, identity theft, or other similar illegal behavior by our employees.**
Among
other things, our services from time to time involve handling mail from payers and payments from patients for our customers, and this
mail frequently includes original checks and credit card information and occasionally includes currency. Where requested, we deposit
payments and process credit card transactions from patients on behalf of customers and then forward these payments to the customers.
Even in those cases in which we do not handle original documents or mail, our services also involve the use and disclosure of personal
and business information that could be used to impersonate third parties or otherwise gain access to their data or funds. The manner
in which we store and use certain financial information is governed by various federal and state laws. If any of our employees takes,
converts, or misuses such funds, documents, or data, we could be liable for damages, subject to regulatory actions and penalties, and
our business reputation could be damaged or destroyed. In addition, we could be perceived to have facilitated or participated in illegal
misappropriation of funds, documents, or data and therefore be subject to civil or criminal liability.

**Risks
Related to Ownership of Shares of Our Common Stock**
****
**The
conversion of the majority of the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock in March 2025 (the Conversion) increased the
total number of outstanding shares, potentially diluting the value of existing common shareholders equity.**
****
The
Conversion resulted in the dilution of existing common shareholders ownership percentages. This dilution of ownership
impacted the voting power, earnings per share and overall control of the Company for common shareholders prior to the Conversion. The
Companys earnings per share calculation was impacted by the additional common shares, offset by the amount of Series A
Preferred Stock dividend that is not included in the calculation. The increased number of common shares outstanding also lowered
the book value of each common share, which may adversely affect the market price of the Companys common stock. Moreover,
existing common shareholders may experience a reduced ability to influence corporate decisions if their voting power becomes more
diluted due to additional conversions.
**Series
A Preferred Stock shareholders that converted their shares gained full voting rights upon conversion of their preferred shares into common
stock.**
****
Preferred
shareholders do not have voting rights under the terms of their preferred stock, except under extremely limited circumstances. However,
upon conversion of their preferred shares into common stock, these shareholders gained full voting rights, which altered the balance of voting power within the Company. The conversion of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock shares could result
in a situation where a large group of former Series A preferred shareholders collectively gain the ability to influence corporate decisions,
including matters related to the election of directors, mergers, acquisitions, and other significant strategic initiatives. This shift
in voting power could potentially dilute the influence of existing common shareholders and may lead to changes in the Companys
governance structure.
**The
Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and any subsequent conversions, may be perceived negatively by the market.**
****
The
Conversion and any subsequent conversions could be perceived negatively by the market, potentially leading to a decline in the value
of the Companys common stock. Investors may interpret such conversion as a sign of financial weakness, dilution of ownership,
or a shift in the Companys capital structure that could impact earnings per share or control dynamics. This negative market perception
may arise if investors believe the Conversion or any subsequent conversions are being undertaken to address financial challenges, increase
liquidity, or meet other strategic objectives that could signal instability or uncertainty. Such market reactions could lead to increased
volatility in the Companys common stock price, reduced investor confidence, and challenges in maintaining or attracting capital
in the future.
**The
Companys potential for future issuances of common stock following the Conversion could be limited.**
****
The
Company may want to issue additional common stock in the future to raise capital for operations, acquisitions, or other strategic initiatives.
Such potential for future issuances could be limited after the Conversion and any future conversions.
****
**Our
revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate in future periods and we may fail to meet investor expectations, which may cause
the price of our common stock to decline.**
****
Variations
in our quarterly and year-end operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from period to period. We may
fail to meet or exceed the financial projections of the investment community or the financial projections we may provide to the public.
If our sales or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could
decline substantially. Specific factors that may cause fluctuations in our operating results include:
| 
| demand
and pricing for our products and services; | |
| 
| the
encounter volumes of our customer base; | |
| 
| government
or commercial healthcare reimbursement policies; | |
| 
| physician
and patient acceptance of any of our current or future products; | |
| 
| introduction
of competing products, services or technologies; | |
| 
| our
operating expenses which fluctuate due to growth of our business; | |
| 
| changes
in laws or regulations applicable to our products and services; | |
| 
| timing
and size of any new product or technology acquisitions we may complete; and | |
| 
| variable
sales cycle and implementation periods for our products and services. | |
| 34 | |
**Healthcare
reform may have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.**
****
Political,
economic and regulatory developments have affected fundamental changes in the healthcare industry. 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 payors to control these costs and, more generally, to reform the U.S. health care system. Certain of these proposals
could limit the amounts CareCloud will receive for its products and services. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA)
substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both government and private insurers.
****
The
Company cannot predict at this time the full impact of the ACA, or any other legislative changes thereto, other new legislation, the
current Administration, agency priorities, rulemaking and healthcare reform measures from U.S. federal or state governments, or third-party
payors that may be adopted or implemented in the future on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Although several legislative initiatives to repeal and replace the ACA have been proposed, and legal challenges to the constitutionality
of the ACA or its component parts have been made, the nature and effect of any modification or repeal of, or legislative substitution
for, the ACA, or any court decision regarding the ACAs validity, is uncertain, and the Company cannot predict the effect that
any of these events would have on the longer-term viability of the act, or on the Companys financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows. However, any changes that create stricter and more costly compliance obligations or lower reimbursement for the Companys
customers could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Future significant changes
in the healthcare systems in the United States could also have a negative impact on the demand for the Companys current and future
products.
**Future
sales of shares of our common stock could depress the market price of our common stock.**
Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. If our shareholders sell, or the
market perceives that our shareholders intend to sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price
of our common stock could decline significantly.
**As
of December 31, 2025, Mahmud Haq controlled 12% of our outstanding shares of common stock, limits investors from influencing
significant corporate decisions.**
****
As
of December 31, 2025, Mahmud Haq, our founder and Executive Chairman, beneficially owned 12% of our outstanding shares of common stock.
Although his ownership percentage was diluted due to the Conversion, Mr. Haq continues to exercise a significant level of influence over
all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation, and approval
of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company
or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without his support, which in turn
could reduce the price of our common stock.
****
**Provisions
of Delaware law, of our amended and restated charter and amended and restated bylaws may make a takeover more difficult, which could
cause our common stock price to decline.**
****
Provisions
in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and in the Delaware General Corporation Law
(DGCL) may make it difficult and expensive for a third party to pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt,
which is opposed by management and the Board of Directors. Public stockholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction
may not have an opportunity to do so. We have a staggered Board of Directors that makes it difficult for stockholders to change the composition
of the Board of Directors in any one year. Further, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the removal of
a director only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 50.1% of the outstanding shares entitled to cast their
vote for the election of directors, which may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control
of us. These and other anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to change our management
and Board of Directors. Such provisions may also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our Preferred Stock
in the future.
**Any
issuance of additional preferred stock in the future may dilute the rights of our existing stockholders.**
****
Our
Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, privileges and other
terms of these shares, of which 984,530 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,511,372 of Series B Preferred Stock were outstanding
as of December 31, 2025. Our Board of Directors may exercise its authority with respect to the remaining shares of preferred stock without
any further approval of common stockholders. The rights of the holders of common stock may be adversely affected by the rights of future
holders of preferred stock.
| 35 | |
**We
do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock.**
****
Currently,
we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common
stock will be a shareholders sole source of gain.
**Complying
with the laws and regulations affecting public companies will increase our costs and the demands on management and could harm our operating
results.**
****
As
a public company, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we assess the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting annually and the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures quarterly. For the year ended December 31,
2025, we are required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting. The cost of our compliance with Section 404 has increased as we were not required to have this attestation performed
for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our compliance with applicable provisions of Section 404 requires that we incur substantial accounting
expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues and stay in compliance with reporting requirements. Moreover,
if we are not able to stay in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 applicable to us in a timely manner, or if we or our independent
registered public accounting firm identifies any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be
material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or
other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
Furthermore,
investor perceptions of our Company may suffer if deficiencies are found, and this could cause a decline in the market price of our common
and preferred stock. Irrespective of compliance with Section 404, any failure of our internal control over financial reporting could
have a material adverse effect on our stated operating results and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively
or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting, or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal
control from our independent registered public accounting firm.
**We
are a smaller reporting company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies
will make our common stock less attractive to investors.**
****
There
are many exemptions available to smaller reporting companies like us that have less than $250 million of worldwide common equity held
by non-affiliates. The disclosures we will be required to provide in our SEC filings are still less than they would be if we were not
considered a smaller reporting company. Specifically, smaller reporting companies are able to provide simplified executive compensation
disclosures in their filings and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings. Our status as a smaller reporting
company may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects. We cannot predict if investors
will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on the exemption available to smaller reporting companies. If some investors
find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price
may be more volatile.
**Risks
Related to Ownership of Shares of Our Preferred Stock**
****
**In
December 2023 we suspended the payment of the dividends on the Preferred Stock. The Company resumed paying monthly dividends in
February 2025, paying one month of the arrearage each month for the rest of the year. The Company has also announced that starting
with the February 2026 dividend payment, it will start paying double dividends monthly on the Series B Preferred Stock to reduce
the dividends in arrears. We may not be able to continue to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock if we fall out of compliance with
our loan covenants and are prohibited by our bank lender from paying dividends or if we have insufficient cash to make dividend
payments.**
****
Our
ability to pay cash dividends on the Preferred Stock requires us to have either net profits or positive net assets (total assets less
total liabilities), and to be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business. We cannot predict with certainty
whether we will remain in compliance with the covenants of our senior secured lender Provident, which include, among other things, a
minimum trailing 12-month debt service coverage ratio and an EBITDA ratio requirement when we are utilizing our line of credit. If we
fall out of compliance, our lender may exercise any of its rights and remedies under the loan agreement.
| 36 | |
Notwithstanding
these factors, during December 2023, the Company suspended the dividends on the Preferred Stock. Although the Company resumed payment
of the monthly dividends in February 2025, we may not maintain sufficient cash to continue to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock, including
the double dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock, and we cannot assure you that our businesses will generate sufficient cash flow
from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to make the Preferred Stock dividend
payments that are currently due or in arrears and to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to pay dividends may again be impaired
if any of the risks described in this document, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, were to occur. Also, payment
of our dividends depends upon our financial condition, remaining in compliance with our affirmative and negative loan covenants with
Provident, which we may be unable to do in the future, and other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time.
**Our
Series A and Series B Preferred Stock rank junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities.**
****
Our
Series A Preferred Stock ranks pari passu to our Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon our liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of our affairs. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, our
assets will be available to pay obligations on the Preferred Stock only after all of our indebtedness and other liabilities have been
paid. The rights of holders of the Preferred Stock to participate in the distribution of our assets will rank junior to the prior claims
of our current and future creditors and any future series or class of preferred stock we may issue that ranks senior to the Preferred
Stock. Also, the Preferred Stock effectively ranks junior to all existing and future indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities
of our existing subsidiaries and any future subsidiaries. Our existing subsidiaries are, and future subsidiaries would be, separate legal
entities and have no legal obligation to pay any amounts to us in respect of dividends due on the Preferred Stock. If we are forced to
liquidate our assets to pay our creditors, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on any or all of the Preferred Stock
then outstanding. We may in the future incur debt and other obligations that will rank senior to the Preferred Stock. At December 31,
2025, our total liabilities excluding contingent consideration equaled approximately $27.0 million.
Certain
of our existing or future debt instruments may restrict the authorization, payment or setting apart of dividends on the Preferred Stock.
There can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with the Provident credit agreement, and if we default, we may be contractually
prohibited from paying dividends on the Preferred Stock. Also, future offerings of debt or senior equity securities may adversely affect
the market price of the Preferred Stock. If we decide to issue debt or senior equity securities in the future, it is possible that these
securities will be governed by an indenture or other instruments containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally,
any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than
those of the Preferred Stock and may result in dilution to owners of the Preferred Stock. We and, indirectly, our shareholders, will
bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering
will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of
our future offerings. The holders of the Preferred Stock will bear the risk of our future offerings, which may reduce the market price
of the Preferred Stock and will dilute the value of their holdings.
**We
may issue additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that rank on parity with the Preferred
Stock as to dividend rights, rights upon liquidation or voting rights.**
****
We
are allowed to issue additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that would rank equal to
or below the Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs pursuant
to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designations relating to the Preferred Stock without
any vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock. Upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock (voting together as a class with all other series of parity preferred stock we may issue upon which like voting rights
have been conferred and are exercisable), we are allowed to issue additional series of preferred stock that would rank above the Preferred
Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs pursuant to our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designations relating to the Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock could have the effect of reducing the amounts available to
the Preferred Stock upon our liquidation or dissolution or the winding up of our affairs. It also may reduce dividend payments on the
Preferred Stock if we do not have sufficient funds to pay dividends on all Preferred Stock outstanding and other classes or series of
stock with equal priority with respect to dividends.
Also,
although holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to limited voting rights with respect to the circumstances under which the holders of
Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Preferred Stock votes separately as a class along with all other series of our preferred stock
that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable. As a result, the voting rights of holders of
Preferred Stock may be significantly diluted, and the holders of such other series of preferred stock that we may issue may be able to
control or significantly influence the outcome of any vote.
| 37 | |
Future
issuances and sales of senior or pari passu preferred stock, or the perception that such issuances and sales could occur, may cause prevailing
market prices for the Preferred Stock and our common stock to decline and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital
in the financial markets at times and prices favorable to us.
**Market
interest rates may materially and adversely affect the value of the Series B Preferred Stock.**
****
One
of the factors that influences the price of the Series B Preferred Stock is the dividend yield on the Series B Preferred Stock (as a
percentage of the market price of the Series B Preferred Stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates
may lead prospective purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock to expect a higher dividend yield (and higher interest rates would likely
increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for dividend payments). Thus, higher market interest rates could
cause the market price of the Series B Preferred Stock to materially decrease.
**Holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock may be unable to use the dividends-received deduction and may not be eligible for the preferential tax
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.**
****
Distributions
paid to corporate U.S. holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, and distributions
paid to non-corporate U.S. holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may be subject to tax at the preferential tax rates applicable to
qualified dividend income, if we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. We do not currently have such accumulated earnings and profits. Additionally, we may not have sufficient current earnings
and profits during future fiscal years for the distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock to qualify as dividends for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. If the distributions fail to qualify as dividends, U.S. holders would be unable to use the dividends-received deduction
and may not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. If any distributions on
the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to any fiscal year are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction or preferential tax
rates applicable to qualified dividend income because of insufficient current or accumulated earnings and profits, it is
possible that the market value of the Series B Preferred Stock might decline.
**Our
Series B Preferred Stock has not been rated.**
****
We
have not sought to obtain a rating for the Series B Preferred Stock. No assurance can be given, however, that one or more rating agencies
might not independently determine to issue such a rating or that such a rating, if issued, would not adversely affect the market price
of the Series B Preferred Stock. Also, we may elect in the future to obtain a rating for the Series B Preferred Stock, which could adversely
affect its market price. Ratings only reflect the views of the rating agency or agencies issuing the ratings and such ratings could be
revised downward, placed on a watch list or withdrawn entirely at the discretion of the issuing rating agency if in its judgment circumstances
so warrant. Any such downward revision, placing it on a watch list or withdrawal of a rating could have an adverse effect on the market
price of the Series B Preferred Stock.
**The
market price of our Series B Preferred Stock is variable and is substantially affected by various factors.**
****
The
market price of our Series B Preferred Stock is subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors. These factors include,
but are not limited to, the following:
| 
| suspension
of the dividend payments in December 2023 which were not resumed until February 2025; | |
| 
| prevailing
interest rates, increases in which may have an adverse effect on the market price of the
Series B Preferred Stock; | |
| 
| trading
prices of similar securities; | |
| 
| the
annual yield from dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as compared to yields on other
financial instruments; | |
| 
| general
economic and financial market conditions; | |
| 
| government
action or regulation; | |
| 
| our
financial condition, performance and prospects of our competitors; | |
| 
| changes
in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts with respect to us or our
competitors in our industry; | |
| 
| our
issuance of additional preferred equity or debt securities; and | |
| 
| actual
or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results of us and our competitors. | |
| 38 | |
**A
holder of Preferred Stock has extremely limited voting rights.**
****
The
voting rights for a holder of Preferred Stock are limited. Our shares of common stock are the only class of our securities that carry
full voting rights, and Mahmud Haq, our Executive Chairman, beneficially owned approximately 12% of our outstanding shares of common
stock as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, Mr. Haq exercises a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval,
including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions.
This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our Company or changes in management, and will make
the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without his support, which in turn could reduce the price of our Series
B Preferred Stock.
Voting
rights for holders of the Preferred Stock exist primarily with respect to the ability to elect, voting together with the holders of any
other series of our preferred stock having similar voting rights, two additional directors to our Board of Directors, subject to limitations,
in the event that eighteen monthly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Preferred Stock are in arrears, and with respect
to voting on amendments to our articles of incorporation or articles of amendment relating to the Preferred Stock that materially and
adversely affect the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock or authorize, increase or create additional classes or series of our capital
stock that are senior to the Preferred Stock. Other than the limited circumstances and except to the extent required by law, holders
of Preferred Stock do not have any other voting rights.
**The
Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible and investors will not realize a corresponding upside if the
price of the common stock increases.**
****
The
Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock and earns dividends at a fixed rate. Accordingly,
an increase in the market price of our common stock will not necessarily result in an increase in the market price of our Series B Preferred
Stock. The market value of the Series B Preferred Stock may depend more on dividend and interest rates for other preferred stock, commercial
paper and other investment alternatives and our actual and perceived ability to pay dividends on, and in the event of dissolution satisfy
the liquidation preference with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock.
**Although
payment of the suspended dividends resumed in February 2025 and continued throughout the year, there are still dividends in arrears and
we may be unable to raise additional capital without incurring excessive dilution.**
****
In
December 2023, we suspended payment on the Preferred Stock dividends. The Company resumed monthly payment of the dividends in
February 2025 by paying one month of arrears during the rest of the year. The dividend arrearage on the converted Series A Preferred
Stock was satisfied through the Conversion. At December 31, 2025, there was approximately $6.8 million of dividends in arrears. In
addition to incurring excessive dilution, investors may not have an interest in purchasing our securities since the dividend was
previously suspended for 14 months.

Item
1C. Cybersecurity
**Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy**
****
We
recognize the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as such term is
defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. These risks include internal and external threats, data loss, phishing attacks, distributed
denial of service attacks, third party risks, unpatched systems, weak authentications and zero-day vulnerabilities.
Identifying
and assessing cybersecurity risk is integrated into our overall risk management systems and processes. Cybersecurity risks related to
our business, technical operations, privacy and compliance issues are identified and addressed through a multi-faceted approach including
third party assessments, internal IT Audit, IT security, governance, risk and compliance reviews. To defend, detect and respond to cybersecurity
incidents, the Company conducts proactive cybersecurity reviews of systems and applications, audits applicable data policies, performs
penetration testing using external third-party tools and techniques to test security controls, conducts employee training, monitors emerging
laws and regulations related to data protection and information security and implements appropriate changes.
| 39 | |
We
have implemented incident response and breach management processes which have four overarching and interconnected stages: 1) preparation
for a cybersecurity incident, 2) detection and analysis of a security incident, 3) containment, eradication and recovery, and 4) post-incident
analysis. Such incident responses are overseen by leaders from our Information Security, Compliance and Legal teams regarding matters
of cybersecurity.
Security
events and data incidents are evaluated, ranked by severity and prioritized for response and remediation. Incidents are evaluated to
determine materiality as well as operational and business impact, and reviewed for privacy impact. As of the date of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K, we have not experienced a cybersecurity threat or incident that resulted in a material adverse impact to our business or
operations.
We
also conduct exercises to simulate responses to cybersecurity incidents. Our team of cybersecurity professionals then collaborate with
technical and business stakeholders across our business units to further analyze the risk to the Company, and form detection, mitigation
and remediation strategies.
As
part of the above processes, we regularly engage consultants to assess our internal cybersecurity programs and compliance with applicable
practices and standards. For 2025 and 2024, our Information Security Management System is compliant with ISO 27001. We also had SOC 2,
Type 2 reviews performed for the years 2025 and 2024.
Our
risk management program also assesses third party risks, and we perform third-party risk management to identify and mitigate risks from
third parties such as vendors, suppliers, and other business partners associated with our use of third-party service providers.
In the third quarter of 2025, we engaged an external vendor to conduct penetration testing and manage the security posture of our public-facing website and application. This added an extra layer of oversight to our external security environment, complementing the efforts
of our internal data security team. It also supported our SOC 2 audit readiness and helped us maintain a strong overall security posture.
We
describe whether and how risks from identified cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents,
have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or
financial condition, under the heading Disruptions in internet or telecommunication service or damage to our data centers could
adversely affect our business by reducing our customers confidence in the reliability of our services and products included

**Cybersecurity
Governance**
Cybersecurity
is an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for our Board of Directors and management. Our Cybersecurity
subcommittee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. Members of the Cybersecurity
subcommittee receive updates on a quarterly basis from senior management, including leaders from our Information Security, Finance, Internal
Audit, Compliance and Legal teams regarding cybersecurity matters. This includes existing and new cybersecurity risks, status on how
management is addressing and/or mitigating those risks, cybersecurity and data privacy incidents, (if any), and the status on key information
security initiatives.
Our
cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes are overseen by our Vice President of IT Infrastructure and leaders from our Information
Technology department. These individuals are informed about, and monitor the prevention, mitigation, detection and remediation of cybersecurity
incidents through their management of, and participation in, the cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes described above,
including the operation of our incident response plan, and report to the Cybersecurity subcommittee on any appropriate items.

3. Legal Proceedings
On
December 22, 2023, an arbitrator rendered a decision in favor of Ramapo Anesthesiologists, PC (Ramapo) and granted in part
and denied in part certain claims brought against Origin Healthcare Solutions, LLC, Meridian Medical Management, Inc., and the Company
for alleged breach of contract and other allegations. Ramapo was awarded mitigation related costs of $117,000. The payment for such an
award was made during the first quarter of 2024. The Companys portion of the settlement was approximately $32,000 and the insurance
company paid the balance. The Companys portion was recorded in accrued expenses at December 31, 2023 in the consolidated balance
sheet.
In
March 2019, a former customer filed a complaint against the Company in New Jersey State Court to recover damages claimed to have been
caused by the mishandling of their account. Plaintiff alleged at least approximately $750,000 in damages which was disputed by the Company.
The parties participated in a one-day court-ordered, non-binding arbitration. At that time, the arbitrator awarded Plaintiff $288,750
on its contract claims, and awarded the Company $21,698 on its cross-claim for unpaid fees. Plaintiff filed to reject this award. The
Company previously filed a partial motion for summary judgment on the alleged punitive damages, but the court denied that motion finding
there is an issue of fact as to whether those can be awarded at trial. The Company filed an offer of judgment for $200,000 during April
2024 which was accepted and paid in July 2024.
In
connection with a prior acquisition, the seller had alleged that the Company owed approximately $800,000 in transition related costs
to them. The parties agreed to settle the claim for approximately $316,000, which was paid in September 2024.
A
former customer had a dispute with the Company that was based on services before and after the account was acquired in an acquisition.
A complaint was filed in Massachusetts State Court, Essex County in February 2018. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Companys
liability, if any, was solely and expressly limited to damages related to its handling of the account at issue. The parties participated
in formal mediation and at that time, Plaintiffs starting settlement demand was over $2 million. The mediation was not successful.
The Company made an offer of $100,000 in December 2024 to settle the suit, which was accepted. The settlement amount was recorded in
accrued expenses at December 31, 2024 in the consolidated balance sheet. A settlement agreement with mutual releases was signed by the
parties in January 2025 and payment was made in February 2025.
A
dispute occurred with a former customer regarding previous services rendered and they filed a complaint in New York Supreme Court, Onondaga
County in January 2024. During settlement communications, Plaintiffs initial settlement demand was over $2.5 million. During ongoing
settlement communications, the Company made an offer of $29,000 in March 2025, which was accepted. A settlement agreement with mutual
releases was signed by the parties in May 2025 and payment was made in June 2025.
In
April 2025, a dispute arose with a current customer utilizing one of the Companys systems and they filed a complaint in Connecticut
Superior Court, Judicial District of Middlesex. The parties agreed to settle the claim for $24,000. This amount was accrued at December
31, 2025 and was paid during January 2026.
From
time to time, we may become involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Including the proceedings
described above, we are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would individually or
taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of
the Company.

**Overview**
****
The
Company is a healthcare information technology company that provides technology-enabled business solutions and Software-as-a-Service
offerings (SaaS), which are often bundled, but are occasionally provided individually, together with related business services
to healthcare providers and hospitals throughout the United States. The SaaS component is not material to the overall contract compared
to the stand-alone value of RCM. Our integrated SaaS platform includes technology-enabled revenue cycle management (RCM),
practice management (PM), electronic health records (EHR), artificial intelligence (AI) tools,
business intelligence, telehealth, patient experience management (PXM) solutions and complementary software tools and business

queues designed maximize timely reimbursements; | |
| 
| HealthLine,
which is a medical supply chain and inventory management system built for healthcare settings

such as exam rooms, ambulances and storage closets; | |
| 
| Marketware,
which offers a comprehensive physician strategy suite designed to support healthcare organizations
in optimizing physician relationship management, streamlining recruitment and onboarding
processes, and leveraging performance analytics. The platform consolidates critical data

insights from their vast amount of data; | |
| 
| Healthcare
claims clearinghouse which enables our clients to electronically scrub and submit claims
and process payments from insurance companies; | |
| 
| Interoperability
and data transformation software to support the complex realities of data exchange with healthcare
trading partners, including labs, insurance companies, and other healthcare IT vendors; | |
| 
| Customized
applications, interfaces and a variety of other technology solutions that support our healthcare
clients; | |
| 43 | |

which was developed by the HFMA and is used by top hospitals and healthcare organizations
nationwide. | |
| 
| Medical
practice management services are provided to medical practices. In this service model, we
provide the medical practice with appropriate facilities, equipment, supplies, support services,
nurses and administrative support staff. We also provide management, bill-paying and financial
advisory services. We currently provide services to three pediatric practices which comprises
the Medical Practice Management segment. | |
Our
offshore operations together accounted for approximately 17% and 15% of total expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
respectively. A significant portion of those expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 76% and 75% of foreign costs for the
years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan and Sri Lanka
than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our offshore operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry
participants. All of the medical billing companies that we have acquired used domestic labor or subcontractors from higher cost locations
to provide all or a substantial portion of their services. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions as we shift these labor
costs to our offshore operations.
**Key
Performance Measures**
****
We
consider numerous factors in assessing our performance. Key performance measures used by management include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted
operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share. These key performance measures are
non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results
from period to period.
These
non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Moreover, these non-GAAP
financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of our business as determined
in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis, as well as a non-GAAP
basis, and we provide reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. Our
non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies
in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those
measures for comparative purposes.
Adjusted
EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share provide an alternative
view of performance used by management and we believe that an investors understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing
these adjusted performance measures.
Adjusted
EBITDA excludes the following amounts which are included in GAAP net income:
| 
| Income
tax provision or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; | |
| 
| Net
interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on principal payments
on our debt; | |
| 
| Foreign
currency losses and other non-operating expenses; | |
| 
| Stock-based
compensation expense, which includes cash-settled awards and the related taxes, based on
changes in the stock price; | |
| 
| Depreciation
and amortization charges; | |
| 
| Integration
costs, such as severance amounts paid to employees from acquired businesses and transaction
costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees and exit costs
related to contractual agreements; and | |
| 
| Lease
termination and restructuring costs. | |

**Key
Metrics**
****
In
addition to the line items in our consolidated financial statements, we regularly review the following key metrics to evaluate our business,
measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections, make strategic business decisions, and assess
market share trends and working capital needs. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying
trends in our business.
*Providers
and Practices Served:* As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we provided services to approximately 45,000 and 40,000 providers, respectively,
(which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their
services), representing approximately 2,900 and 2,600 practices, respectively. In addition, we served approximately 80 clients who were
not medical practices, but are service organizations who serve the healthcare community. The foregoing numbers include clients leveraging
any of our products or services and are based in part upon estimates in cases where the precise number of practices or providers is unknown.
*Customer
Renewal Rate:* Our customer renewal rate measures the percentage of our RCM clients who utilize our technology platform who were a
party to a services agreement with us on January 1 of a particular year and continued to operate and be a client on December 31 of the
same year. It also includes acquired accounts, if they are a party to a services agreement with the company we acquired and are generating
revenue for us, so long as the risk of client loss under the respective purchase agreement has fully shifted to us by January 1 of the
particular year. Our renewal rates for 2025 and 2024 were 91% and 95% of the number of practices that renewed, respectively. These renewal
percentages are not indicative of the loss of revenue due to non-renewal.
**Sources
of Revenue**
**
*Revenue:*
We primarily derive our on-going revenues from technology-enabled business solutions, reported in our Healthcare IT segment, which typically
includes revenue cycle management and is billed as a percentage of payments collected by our customers. This fee includes the ability
to use our EHR, practice management systems and other software as part of the bundled fee. These solutions accounted for approximately
63% and 67% of our revenues during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This includes customers utilizing our proprietary
product suites, as well as customers from acquisitions of RCM companies which we are servicing utilizing third-party software. Key drivers
of our revenue include growth in the number of providers we are servicing, the number of patients served by those providers, and collections
by those providers. It also includes SaaS fees, for clients not utilizing revenue cycle management services. When clients utilize our
revenue cycle management services, basic SaaS services are included at no additional charge. Revenue is also generated from coding, credentialing,
indexing, transcription and other ancillary services.
Our
professional services include an extensive set of services including EHR vendor-agnostic optimization and activation, project management,
IT transformation, consulting, process improvement, training, education and staffing for large healthcare organizations including health
systems and hospitals. Revenue is recorded monthly on either a time and materials or a fixed rate basis for each contract.
We
also generate revenue from our printing and mailing, group purchasing services and medical practice management services.
We
earned approximately 1% of our revenue from group purchasing services during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. We earned approximately
12% and 13% of our revenue from medical practice management services during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
This revenue represents fees based on our actual costs plus a percentage of the operating profit and is reported in our Medical Practice
Management segment.

**Operating
Expenses**
**
*Direct
Operating Costs.*Direct operating costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our
customers, claims processing costs, costs to operate the three managed practices, including facility lease costs, supplies, insurance
and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The
reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately
in the consolidated statements of operations. Operations in our Offshore Offices together accounted for approximately 14% and 13% of
direct operating costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As we grow, we expect to achieve further economies
of scale and to see our direct operating costs decrease as a percentage of revenue. 
*Selling
and Marketing Expense.*Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, commissions, travel and advertising
expenses, which includes onshore and offshore personnel.
*General
and Administrative Expense.*General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative
employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, facility lease costs and insurance, software license fees and outside professional
fees. Our Offshore Offices accounted for approximately 21% and 22% of general and administrative expenses for the years ended December
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
*Research
and Development Expense.*Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, software expense and third-party
contractor costs.
*Depreciation
and Amortization Expense.*Depreciation expense is charged using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets ranging
from three to five years. Amortization expense is charged on either an accelerated or on a straight-line basis over a period of three
or four years for most intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions including those intangibles related to the group purchasing
services. Amortization expense related to the value of our medical practice management clients is amortized on a straight-line basis
over a period of twelve years.
*Restructuring
Costs.*Restructuring costs, primarily consist of severance and separation costs associated with the optimization of the Companys
operations and profitability improvements.
*Interest
and Other Income (Expense).* Interest income represents interest earned on temporary cash investments and late fees from customers.
Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our line of credit, motor vehicle loans and amortization of deferred
financing costs. Other income (expense) results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains (losses).
*Income
Taxes.* In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we
operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from
differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and
liabilities. Although the Company reported GAAP earnings in 2025 and 2024, it has incurred tax losses historically and there is
uncertainty regarding future U.S. taxable income, which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance
with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024. For the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) tax, companies can either account for the GILTI
inclusion in the period in which they are incurred or establish deferred tax liabilities for the expected future taxes associated
with GILTI. The Company records the GILTI provisions as they are incurred each period.

**Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates**
We
prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,
expense and related disclosures. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience, current trends and various
other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our
operating environment changes. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure
that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot
be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations.
Critical
accounting policies are those policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements that require management to make
difficult, subjective, or complex adjustments, and to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue
from Contracts with Customers:
We
account for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. Our revenue recognition policies require
us to make significant judgments and estimates, particularly as it relates to revenue cycle management. Under ASC 606, certain significant
accounting estimates, such as payment-to-charge ratios, effective billing rates and the estimated contractual payment periods are required
to measure the revenue cycle management revenue. We analyze various factors including, but not limited to, contractual terms and conditions,
the credit-worthiness of our customers and our pricing policies. Changes in judgment on any of the above factors could materially impact
the timing and amount of revenue recognized in a given period.
Revenue
is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. We derive revenue from five primary sources: technology-enabled business
solutions, professional services, printing and mailing services, group purchasing services and medical practice management services.
All of our revenue arrangements are based on contracts with customers. Most of our contracts with customers contain a single performance
obligation. For contracts where we provide multiple services such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, each service represents
its own performance obligation. Selling or transaction prices are based on the contractual price for the service, which is consistent
with the stand-alone selling price.
*Technology-enabled
business solutions:*
**
Our
technology-enabled business solutions include our revenue cycle management and SaaS services. Revenue cycle management services are the
recurring process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies in order for the healthcare providers to receive
payment for the services they rendered, assisted by our proprietary technology. CareCloud typically invoices customers on a monthly basis
based on the actual collections received by its customers and the agreed-upon rate in the sales contract. The services include use of
practice management software and related tools (on a SaaS basis), electronic health records (on a SaaS basis), medical billing services
and use of mobile health solutions. We consider the services to be one performance obligation since the promises are not distinct in
the context of the contract. The performance obligation consists of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and
have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers.
In
many cases, our clients may terminate their agreements with 90 days notice without cause, thereby limiting the term in which we
have enforceable rights and obligations, although this time period can vary between clients. Our payment terms are normally net 30 days.
Although our contracts typically have stated terms of one or more years, under ASC 606 our contracts are considered month-to-month and
accordingly, there is no financing component.
For
the majority of our contracts which include revenue cycle management services, the total transaction price is variable because our obligation
is to process an unknown quantity of claims, as and when requested by our customers over the contract period. When a contract includes
variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained;
therefore, we include variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal
of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently
resolved. Estimates to determine variable consideration such as payment to charge ratios, effective billing rates, and the estimated
contractual payment periods are updated at each reporting date. Revenue is recognized over the performance period using the input method.
*Professional
services:*
**
Revenues
from professional services are recorded as the services are provided as the performance obligations are satisfied over time. Revenue
is recorded based on the number of hours incurred and the agreed-upon hourly rate. Invoicing is primarily performed as of the end of
each month.
| 51 | |
*Printing
and mailing services:*
**
The
Company provides printing and mailing services for both revenue cycle management customers and a non- revenue cycle management customer,
and invoices on a monthly basis based on the number of prints, the agreed-upon rate per print and the postage incurred. The performance
obligation is satisfied once the printing and mailing is completed.
*Group
purchasing services:*
**
The
Company provides group purchasing services which enable medical providers to purchase various vaccines directly from selected pharmaceutical
companies at a discounted price. Currently, there are approximately 4,000 medical providers who are members of the program. Revenue is
recognized as the vaccine shipments are made to the medical providers. Fees from the pharmaceutical companies are paid either quarterly
or annually and the Company adjusts its revenue accrual at the time of payment. The Company makes significant judgments regarding the
variable consideration which we expect to be entitled to for the group purchasing services which includes the anticipated shipments to
the members enrolled in the program, anticipated volumes of purchases made by the members, and the changes in the number of members.
The amounts recorded are constrained by estimates of decreases in shipments and loss of members to avoid a significant revenue reversal
in the subsequent period. The only performance obligation is to provide the pharmaceutical companies with the medical providers who want
to become members in order to purchase vaccines. The performance obligation is satisfied once the medical provider agrees to purchase
a specific quantity of vaccines and the medical providers information is forwarded to the vaccine suppliers. The Company records
a contract asset for revenue earned and not paid as the ultimate payment is conditioned on achieving certain volume thresholds.
*Practice
management services:*
**
We
estimate the amount that will be collected on claims submitted to insurance carriers which is used to determine the compensation to be
paid to the owners of the managed practices. These compensation amounts reduce the revenue that the Company recognizes since they are
deducted from gross billings. The estimate of the amounts to be received from the insurance claims are updated at each reporting period.
Although
we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments is reasonable, actual results could differ, and we may be exposed to increases
or decreases in revenue that could be material. Our estimates of variable consideration may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we
may have understated or overstated the revenue recognized in an accounting period. The amount of variable consideration recognized to
date that remains subject to estimation is included within the contract asset in the consolidated balance sheets.
**
Goodwill
Impairment:
Goodwill
is evaluated for impairment annually as of October 31st, referred to as the annual test date. The Company also tests for impairment
between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment
testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting-unit level. The Company has determined that its business consists of two operating
segments and two reporting units (Healthcare IT and Medical Practice Management). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires
judgment including the use of a discounted cash flow approach, the trading price of publicly traded stock and the guideline public company
method. These analyses require significant assumptions and judgments. These assumptions and judgments include estimation of future cash
flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful
life over which cash flows will occur, determination of our weighted average cost of capital and the selection of comparable companies
and the interpretation of their data. Future business and economic conditions, as well as differences in actual financial results related
to any of the assumptions, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements through impairment of goodwill or intangible
assets and acceleration of the amortization period of the purchased intangible assets which are finite-lived assets. No impairment charges
were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Business
Combinations:
The
Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805, *Business Combinations*, which requires that the acquisition
method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the date of acquisition
at their respective fair values. The fair value amount assigned to intangible assets is based on an exit price from a market participants
viewpoint, and utilizes data such as discounted cash flow analysis and replacement cost models. Critical estimates in valuing certain
intangible assets include, but are not limited to, historical and projected client retention rates, expected future cash inflows and
outflows, discount rates, and estimated useful lives of those intangible assets. ASC 805 also specifies criteria that intangible assets
acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase
price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses
are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

*Interest
Expense.*Interest expense of $287,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $613,000 or 68% from $900,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in interest expense was due to the decreased use of the line of credit and decreases in the interest
rate charged. Interest expense on the line of credit was $152,000 and $649,000 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively
and amortization of deferred financing costs was $44,000 and $127,000 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
****
*Other
Expense - net.*Other expense - net was $265,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to other expense - net of $298,000
for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other expense primarily represents foreign currency transaction gains and losses and legal settlements
made by the Company. Legal and other settlements recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $175,000
and $465,000, respectively. There was a foreign exchange loss of $109,000 and a gain of $130,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025
and 2024, respectively. Transaction gains and losses result from revaluing intercompany accounts which are denominated in U.S. dollars
that represent amounts receivable/payable between the entities. Whenever the exchange rate varies, the gains and losses are recorded
in the consolidated statements of operations.
****
*Income
Tax Provision.*There was a $199,000 provision for income taxes
for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $160,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The
income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $199,000 and $160,000, respectively. There was no deferred tax
recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The provision for 2025 and 2024 primarily relates to state and foreign
income taxes. The pre-tax income was $11.0 million and
$8.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Although the Company reported GAAP earnings in 2025 and
2024, it has incurred tax losses historically and there is uncertainty regarding future U.S. taxable income, which make realization
of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against all
deferred tax assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company will maintain a full valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.
The
Company has recorded goodwill as a result of its acquisitions. Goodwill is generally not amortized for financial reporting purposes.
However, goodwill from asset acquisitions is tax deductible and amortized over 15 years for tax purposes. As such, deferred income tax
expense and a deferred tax liability arise as a result of the tax-deductibility of this indefinitely lived asset. The resulting deferred
tax liability, which is recorded over the amortization period, has an indefinite life.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company has a total federal NOL carry forward of approximately $271 million of which approximately $186 million
will expire between 2030 and 2037, and the balance of approximately $85 million has an indefinite life. At December 31, 2025, the Company
had federal research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $3.4 million. Out of the total federal NOL carry forward,
approximately $237 million is from the CareCloud and Meridian acquisitions and is subject to the federal Section 382 NOL annual usage
limitations. The Company has state NOL carry forwards of approximately $214 million, of which $87 million relates to the State of New
Jersey. These NOLs expire starting in 2026.

The
income before income taxes was $11.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2025, which included $15.0 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization. The income before income taxes
for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $8.0 million, which included $14.1 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization.
We
have not been adversely affected by inflation as typically we receive a percentage of the fees our clients collect from our revenue cycle
management services. Additionally, our medical practice management contracts are based on our costs plus a percentage of the medical
practices operating income. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to minimize its effects through pricing strategies,
productivity improvements and cost reductions. In the event of inflation, we believe that we will be able to pass on any price increases
for fixed rate contracts to our customers, as the prices that we charge are not governed by long-term contracts. The interest rate on
our Provident line of credit is based on the secured overnight financing rate which has been declining slightly since the inception of
the line of credit.
**Operating
Activities**
Cash
provided by operating activities was $28.6 million and $20.6
million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the net income of $2.9
million included the following changes in non-cash items: an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $339,000
and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $739,000. Revenue increased by $9.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash operating expenses increased
by $6.6 million for the same period.
Accounts

**Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements**
As
of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities
often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. During the first quarter of 2020, a New Jersey corporation,
talkMD Clinicians, PA (talkMD), was formed by the wife of the Executive Chairman, who is a licensed physician, to provide
telehealth services. talkMD was determined to be a variable interest entity (VIE) for financial reporting purposes because
the entity will be controlled by the Company. As of December 31, 2025, talkMD had not yet commenced operations. The Company made arrangements
to have the income tax returns prepared for talkMD and advanced the funds for the required taxes. Cumulatively, the Company has paid
approximately $6,500 on behalf of talkMD for income taxes. We do not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

9A. Controls and Procedures
****
**Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**
Our
management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Interim Chief Financial Officer, based on the Internal Control-Integrated
Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), evaluated
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025 as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the
Exchange Act. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company
in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
Based
on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2025, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Interim Chief
Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Our management, including our
Co-Chief Executive Officers and Interim Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the consolidated financial statements in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

**Managements
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 Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. 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 reporting purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 our assets; (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 our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of our management; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Management
is required to base its assessment on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on a suitable, recognized control
framework. Management has utilized the criteria established in COSO to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our
management has performed its assessment according to the guidelines established by COSO. Management excluded MAP App, Medsphere and RevNu
from its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, our current year acquisitions, as it was not possible to conduct an
assessment of the acquired businesses internal controls over financial reporting in the period between the commencement date and
the date of managements assessment. During 2025, the net revenue recorded by the Company for MAP App, Medsphere and RevNu was
approximately $226,000, $10.5 million and $882,000, respectively and the net assets acquired were approximately $625,000, $16.5 million
and $565,000 respectively, including goodwill. Our management concluded that as of December 31, 2025, the Companys internal control
over financial reporting was effective.
Management
has performed analysis and procedures in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We have concluded that our consolidated financial
statements fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods
presented.
Because
of its inherent limitations, our internal controls over financial reporting provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto are free of material error. In addition, no internal control structure can provide absolute assurance
that all instances of fraud have been detected. 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 and
procedures may deteriorate.
Tanner
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and
for the year then ended included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of their audit, has issued their attestation report,
included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
**Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**
During
the fourth quarter of 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the
Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board
of Directors and Shareholders
CareCloud, Inc.
Opinions
on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CareCloud, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December
31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). We also have
audited the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework (2013)*issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal ControlIntegrated
Framework (2013)*issued by COSO.
Basis
for Opinions
The
Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, 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 Managements
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Managements Report). Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Companys financial statements and an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on
our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and
are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our
audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit
of internal control over financial reporting 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 audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Our
audit of, and opinion on, the Companys internal control over financial reporting does not include the internal control over financial
reporting of MAP App, Medsphere and RevNu, each a wholly-owned subsidiary. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the net revenue recorded
by the Company for MAP App, Medsphere and RevNu was approximately $226,000, $10,500,000 and $882,000, respectively, and the net assets
acquired were approximately $625,000, $16,500,000 and $565,000, respectively, including goodwill. As indicated in Managements
Report, MAP App, Medsphere and RevNu were acquired during 2025. Managements assertion on the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial reporting of MAP App, Medsphere and RevNu.
Definition
and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A
companys 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 companys 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 companys 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.
Critical
Audit Matters
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

**REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**
****
To
the Board of Directors and
Shareholders
of CareCloud, Inc.
**Opinion
on the financial statements**
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CareCloud, Inc. as of December 31, 2024, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive
income, shareholders equity, cash flows, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
**Basis
for opinion**
****
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
**Critical
Audit Matters**
****
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

1. | ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS | |
CareCloud,
Inc., (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, CareCloud, the Company, we, us
and/or our) is a healthcare information technology company that provides a full suite of proprietary cloud-based solutions,
related business services, to healthcare providers and hospitals throughout the United States. The Companys integrated services
are designed to help customers increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing
administrative burdens and operating costs. Our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform includes revenue cycle management
(RCM), practice management (PM), electronic health records (EHR), business intelligence, telehealth,
patient experience management (PXM) solutions and complementary software tools and business services for high-performance
medical groups and health systems. CareCloud has its corporate offices in Somerset, New Jersey and maintains client support teams throughout
the U.S., and offshore offices in Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, a region administered by Pakistan (the Pakistan Offices),
and in Sri Lanka.
CareCloud
was founded in 1999 under the name Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. and incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2001.
In 2004, the Company formed MTBC Private Limited (MTBC Pvt. Ltd.), a 99.9% majority-owned subsidiary of CareCloud based
in Pakistan. The remaining 0.1% of the shares of MTBC Pvt. Ltd. is equally owned by the founder and Executive Chairman of CareCloud and
a local employee who is also a director of this entity. In 2016, the Company formed MTBC Acquisition Corp. (MAC), a Delaware
corporation, in connection with its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of MediGain, LLC and its subsidiary, Millennium Practice
Management Associates, LLC (together MediGain). MAC had a wholly owned subsidiary in Sri Lanka, RCM MediGain Colombo, Pvt.
Ltd. Effective February 1, 2024, MAC and its wholly owned subsidiary were merged into CareCloud, Inc. In May 2018, the Company formed
CareCloud Practice Management, Corp. (CPM), a Delaware corporation, to operate the medical practice management business
acquired from Orion Healthcorp.
In
January 2020, the Company purchased CareCloud Corporation, a company whose name we took. That company is now known as CareCloud Health,
Inc. (CCH). In June 2020, the Company purchased Meridian Billing Management Co. and its affiliate Origin Holdings, Inc.
(collectively Meridian and sometimes referred to as Meridian Medical Management). Both companies were subsequently
merged and the surviving company was renamed Meridian Medical Management, Inc.
During
March 2021, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, CareCloud Acquisition, Corp. (CAC). In June 2021, CAC purchased
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of MedMatica Consulting Associates Inc. (MedMatica) and purchased the stock
of Santa Rosa Staffing, Inc. (SRS). The assets and liabilities of MedMatica were merged into SRS and the company was renamed
medSR, Inc. (medSR).
Effective
April 1, 2022, the Company formed MTBC Bagh Private Limited (MTBC Bagh Pvt. Ltd.), a 99.8% majority-owned subsidiary of
CareCloud based in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, a region administered by Pakistan. The remaining 0.2% of the shares of MTBC Bagh Pvt. Ltd.
is equally owned by the founder and Executive Chairman of CareCloud and the same director/employee as noted above. 
During
the second quarter of 2023, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, CareCloud ME Health Consultancy LLC, in the United Arab Emirates,
which has not yet begun operations.
During
August 2025, the Company formed CareCloud Holdings, Inc (Holdings), as an indirect subsidiary. Holdings purchased certain
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Medsphere Systems Corporation (Medsphere). Medsphere was in the business of providing
healthcare IT software and related services to the inpatient and ambulatory market. During October 2025, the Company formed N884AM Holdings,
Inc. to acquire an aircraft which is used primarily for sales and marketing activities.

2. | BASIS
OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
**Principles
of Consolidation** The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and include the operating results and financial condition of
CareCloud, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including their wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiaries, MTBC Pvt.
Ltd and MTBC Bagh Pvt. Ltd, CCH. The non-controlling interests of MTBC Pvt. Ltd. and MTBC Bagh Pvt. Ltd. are inconsequential to the consolidated
financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
**Segment
Reporting** The Company views its operations as comprising two operating segments, Healthcare IT and Medical Practice Management.
The chief operating decision maker (CODM) monitors and reviews financial information at these segment levels for assessing
operating results and the allocation of resources.
**Use
of Estimates** The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well
as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management
include, but are not limited to: (1) impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, (2) depreciable lives of assets, (3) allowance for
expected credit losses, (4) estimates of variable consideration related to the contract asset, (5) fair value of identifiable purchased
tangible and intangible assets, including determination of expected customer life, (6) stock-based compensation, (7) contingent consideration
and (8) estimating lease terms and incremental borrowing rates. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.
**Revenue
Recognition** We derive revenue from five primary sources: (1) technology-enabled business solutions including revenue cycle
management, (2) professional services, (3) printing and mailing services, (4) group purchasing services and (5) medical practice management
services. All of our revenue arrangements are based on contracts with customers. Most of our contracts with customers contain single
performance obligations, although certain contracts do contain multiple performance obligations where we perform more than one service
for the same customer. We account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct within the context of the contract.
For contracts where we provide multiple services such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, each service represents its own
performance obligation. Selling or transaction prices are based on the contractual prices for each service at its stand-alone selling
price.
A
five-step approach is applied in the recognition of revenue under ASC 606: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the
performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation.
Although
we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments is reasonable, actual results could differ, and we may be exposed to increases
or decreases in revenue that could be material. Our estimates of variable consideration may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we
may have understated or overstated the revenue recognized in a reporting period. The amount of variable consideration recognized to date
that remains subject to estimation is included within the contract asset within the consolidated balance sheet.
Payment
of invoices is due as specified in the underlying customer agreement, typically 30 days from the invoice date, which occurs on the date
of transfer of control of the services to the customer. Since payment terms are less than a year, we have elected the practical expedient
and do not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component.
**
The
Companys revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of refund for services provided (See Note 9, Revenue, for
additional information).
**Direct
Operating Costs** Direct operating costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services
to clients and at our managed medical practices, claims processing costs, medical supplies at our managed practices and other direct
costs related to the Companys services. Costs associated with the implementation of new clients are expensed as incurred. The
reported amounts of direct operating costs include allocated amounts for rent expense and overhead costs.
**Selling
and Marketing Expenses** Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits, travel and advertising
expenses and are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $2.2 million and $2.9 million of advertising costs for the
years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
| | F-10 | | |
****
**Research
and Development Expenses** Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs incurred performing
market research, analyzing proposed products and developing new products.
**Internal-Use
Software Costs** The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal-use software. Costs
incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal
and external costs, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization
ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when
it is probable that the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of intangible assets
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internal use software is amortized
on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets
on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of
these assets. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company capitalized approximately $3.2 million and $5.7 million,
respectively, primarily consisting of salaries and payroll-related costs of employees and consultants who devoted time to the development
of internal-use software projects.
**Accounts
Receivable** Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. Accounts receivable are presented in the consolidated
balance sheets net of an allowance for expected credit losses, which is established based on a lifetime estimated credit loss expected
to occur for trade accounts receivable.
**Property
and Equipment** Property and equipment are
stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives
of the assets ranging from 3 three to five
years. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed
as incurred. Depreciation for computers is calculated over three
years, while the remaining assets (except leasehold
improvements) are depreciated over five
years. The Company amortizes leasehold improvements
over the lesser of the lease term or the remaining economic life of those assets. Generally, the lease term is the base lease term plus
certain renewal option periods for which renewal is reasonably certain and for which failure to exercise the renewal option would result
in an economic penalty to the Company.
**Intangible
Assets** Intangible assets include customer
relationships, covenants not-to-compete acquired in connection with acquisitions, software purchase and development costs and trademarks
acquired. Amortization for intangible assets related to revenue cycle management is recorded primarily using the 200% double declining
balance method over 3
three to four
years. Amortization for intangible assets related
to the group purchasing organization and medical practice management is recorded on a straight line basis over 4 four and twelve years,
respectively.
**Evaluation
of Long-Lived Assets** The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the asset group, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the fair value of the asset. There was no impairment
of internal-use software costs, intangible assets, operating lease right of use assets or property and equipment during the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024.
**Goodwill** Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31st, referred to as the annual test date. The goodwill impairment
test for the Healthcare IT segment is performed using the discounted cash flow approach, the trading price of publicly traded stock and
the guideline public company method. Conditions that could trigger a more frequent impairment assessment include, but are not limited
to, a significant adverse change to the Company in certain agreements, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected
future operating results, loss of customer relationships, an economic downturn in customers industries, or increased competition.
Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at the reporting-unit level. The Company has determined that its business consists of two
operating segments and two reporting units. No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
**Treasury
Stock** Treasury stock is recorded at cost and represents shares repurchased by the Company. No shares were repurchased or
issued from treasury stock during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
| | F-11 | | |
****
**Stock-Based
Compensation** The Company recognizes compensation for all share-based payments granted based on the grant date fair value.
Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company does not estimate forfeitures
in recognizing the expense for share-based payments, as historical forfeiture rates have not been significant. For restricted stock units
(RSUs) classified as equity, the market price of our common or preferred stock on the date of grant is used in recording
the fair value of the award. For RSUs classified as a liability, the earned amount is marked to market based on the end-of-period common
stock price. 
****
**Business
Combinations** The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805, *Business Combinations*,
which requires that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired
in a business combination must be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the
fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized
separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration,
the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date with changes in the fair value recorded through
earnings.
**Income
Taxes** The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The
effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment
date.
The
Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent that these assets will more likely than not be realized. All available positive
and negative evidence is considered in making such a determination, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences,
projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. A valuation allowance would be recorded to
reduce deferred income tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the Company would not be able to realize
its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount.
The
Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely
than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that
meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50
percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did
not have any uncertain tax positions that required recognition. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized
in income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any penalties or interest related
to unrecognized tax benefits in its consolidated financial statements.
**Dividends**
Dividends are recorded when declared by the Companys Board of Directors. At December 31, 2023, the Board of Directors
had declared monthly dividends on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock through February 2024. However, in December 2023, the dividends
on the Preferred Stock were suspended. The dividend scheduled for payment on December 15, 2023 together with the remaining dividends
that were declared, were accrued in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024. Future monthly dividends continued to accrue
in arrears but were not recorded as a liability until they were declared by the Board of Directors. The Company resumed paying monthly
dividends in February 2025, paying one month of arrears each month for the remainder of the year. In March 2025, the Company converted
the majority of the Series A Preferred Stock into the Companys common stock which included payment of the dividends in arrears
at that time for the shares that were converted. The dividend payments made for the remainder of 2025 included dividends for the Series
A Preferred Stock that were not converted and dividends for the Series B Preferred Stock. Preferred stock dividends are charged against
paid in capital because the Company does not have sufficient retained earnings. The dividend payable in the December 31, 2025 consolidated
balance sheet represents dividends declared, but unpaid at that date.
**Deferred
Revenue** Deferred revenue primarily consists of payments received in advance of the revenue recognition criteria being met.
Deferred revenue includes certain deferred implementation services fees that are recognized as revenue ratably over the longer of the
life of the agreement or the estimated expected customer life, which is currently estimated to be three years. Deferred revenue that
will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded
as non-current. At the time of customer termination, any unrecognized service fees associated with implementation services are recognized
as revenue.
| | F-12 | | |
****
**Fair
Value Measurements** ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement*, requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial
instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The Company follows
a fair value measurement hierarchy to measure financial instruments. The fair value of the Companys financial instruments is measured
using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
| 
| 
Level 1 | 
Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
Level 2 | 
Inputs are directly or indirectly observable, which
include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities
in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
Level 3 | 
Inputs are unobservable inputs that are used to measure
fair value to the extent observable inputs are not available. | |
The
Company has certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These financial instruments are subject
to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances and include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
borrowings under term loans and line of credit, and notes payable. Due to the short term nature of these financial instruments and that
the borrowings bear interest at prevailing market rates, the carrying value approximates the fair value.
**Foreign
Currency Translation** The financial statements of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional
currency into U.S. dollars, the Companys functional currency. All foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the
period-end exchange rate, and all revenue and expenses are translated at transaction date exchange rates. The effects of translating
the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars are reported as a cumulative translation adjustment, a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of shareholders equity, except for transactions
related to the intercompany receivable for which transaction adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as
they are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. Foreign currency transaction gains/losses are reported as a component of other expense
net in the consolidated statements of operations and amounted to a loss of approximately $109,000 and a gain of approximately
$130,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
**Restructuring
Costs **Restructuring costs incurred in 2025 and 2024 primarily consist of severance and separation costs associated with the
optimization of the Companys operations and profitability improvements. (See Note 14).
**Recent
Accounting Pronouncements** From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the
impact of recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, *Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements- Issue 2.*The amendments in this update
require that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be: (1) amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the
leasehold improvements to the common control group as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease and
(2) accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer
controls the use of the underlying asset. The amendments in this update are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2023. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.
In
October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, *Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SECs Disclosure
Update and Simplification Initiative.* This update amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics
in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new guidance is intended to align U.S. GAAP requirements with those of the SEC and
to facilitate the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SECs
removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited.
If by June 30, 2027 the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of
the associated amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective.
| | F-13 | | |
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Disclosures*. The amendments
in this update improve segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The
amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2024. The impact was only to the financial statement disclosures and has been adopted by the Company.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.* The amendments
in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to rate reconciliation
and income taxes paid information. The update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax
disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The impact was only to the financial
statement disclosures which has been adopted by the Company prospectively by adding such disclosures as income taxes paid by
jurisdiction and effective income tax rate percentages in the rate reconciliation table.
In
March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, *Codification Improvements- Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements*.
This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. These Codification updates
are for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure
of guidance and other minor improvements. The resulting amendments are referred to as Codification improvements. The amendments in this
update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. There was no impact on the consolidated
financial statements as a result of this standard.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)*. This update contains amendments that require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of
specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption
is permitted. The expected impact would only be to the financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU
2025-06, *Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)*. This update makes targeted improvements
to Subtopic 350-40 to increase the operability of the recognition guidance by removing all references to software development project
stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop
software in the future. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an
annual reporting period. The Company is in the process of determining if this update will have a significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
In
December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270)*. This update improves the guidance in Topic 270, Interim
Reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The amendments
in this update are effective for all entities that provide interim financial statements and notes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments
in this update can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
The expected impact would only be to the financial statement disclosures.
In
December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, *Codification Improvements*. This project facilitates Codification updates for a broad
range of Topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements.
The Board decided that the types of issues that it will consider through this project are improvements that are not expected to have
a significant effect on current accounting practice or result in significant costs to most entities. The amendments in this Update are
effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those
annual reporting periods. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. | ACQUISITIONS | |
Effective
October 1, 2025 (the MAP App Closing Date), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the APA)
with the Healthcare Financial Management Association (the HFMA), an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, to acquire MAP
App. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Under the APA, the Company paid $467,817 (the Closing Payment)
as consideration plus potential earnouts. The Company will pay an additional cash payment (the Earnout Payment) equal to
the aggregate net revenue earned by the Company during the twelve-month period beginning ninety days from the MAP App Closing Date (the
Initial Earnout Period) from (i) customers who were MAP App subscribers as of the MAP App Closing Date and remain active
subscribers, in good standing, throughout the Initial Earnout Period (Acquired MAP Accounts), (ii) prospective customers
included in the MAP App pipeline as of the MAP App Closing Date (Pipeline MAP Accounts) and (iii) new customers resulting
from the HFMAs efforts that are neither Acquired MAP Accounts nor Pipeline MAP Accounts (Ramp-up Customers). During
the thirty-six month period beginning immediately after the Initial Earnout Period (Post Earnout Period), the Company will
make additional quarterly payments to the HFMA in amounts equal to 5% of the aggregate net revenue earned during the preceding quarter
from all Acquired MAP Accounts, Pipeline MAP Accounts and Ramp-up Customers and 20% of the aggregate net revenue earned during the preceding
quarter from all newly signed Pipeline MAP Accounts procured in connection with the agreement. The Earnout Payment will be reduced by
the sum of the Closing Payment and $353,000, the deferred revenue amounts.
MAP
App is an industry-leading tool for benchmarking and measuring revenue cycle management performance, which was developed by the HFMA
and is used by top hospitals and healthcare organizations nationwide.
The
preliminary purchase price allocation of the MAP App acquisition is summarized as follows:

The
fair value of customer relationships was based on the estimated discounted cash flows generated by these intangibles. The goodwill represents
the Companys ability to develop software relationships with hospitals to support RCM growth. The goodwill from this acquisition
is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over fifteen years. It was estimated that the probable future payments required under the
APA will be approximately $157,000 which has been recorded as part of the preliminary purchase price allocation as contingent consideration.
The
Company performed the valuation of the acquired assets and the contingent consideration. The purchase price allocation is preliminary
and will be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2026 when additional information is obtained regarding customer attrition. The
weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets is approximately three years.
Revenue
earned from the clients obtained from the MAP App acquisition was approximately $226,000 during the three months and year ended December
31, 2025.
The
acquisition reflects both the HFMAs desire to partner with a leader in healthcare technology to expand MAP Apps core capabilities
and CareClouds strategy to expand its SaaS-based ecosystem with best-in-class tools that complement its AI-powered revenue cycle
platform.
On
August 22, 2025 (the Medsphere Closing Date), Holdings, a newly created, indirect subsidiary of CareCloud, executed an
Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Medsphere Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Medsphere).
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Holdings acquired certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Medsphere, which was in the business of providing healthcare IT software and related services primarily
to the U.S. inpatient and ambulatory market.
| | F-15 | | |
The
aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was $16,500,000, plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The purchase price was comprised
of: (i) $8,250,000 in cash, subject to provisions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and (ii) $8,250,000 payable by Holdings to Medspheres
secured bank lender Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo) pursuant to a Deferred Payment Agreement, bearing interest at
a rate of 12% per year with a maturity date of February 20, 2026. The Company and its subsidiaries were also party to the Deferred Payment
Agreement as guarantors. The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Deferred Payment Agreement were secured by their
assets pursuant to security documents executed by the Company and its subsidiaries in favor of Wells Fargo. The obligation to Well Fargo
was satisfied on September 3, 2025. (See Note 8).

The
fair value of the contract asset was based on the expected revenue earned by Medsphere as of the Medsphere Closing Date. The fair value
of customer relationships was based on the estimated discounted cash flows generated by these intangibles. The goodwill represents the
Companys ability to expand in the inpatient and ambulatory market and operational synergies that we expect to achieve that would
not be available to other market participants. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible ratable for income tax purposes over
fifteen years. The acquired accounts receivable is recorded at fair value, which represents amounts that have been subsequently paid
or are expected to be paid by clients. The fair value of the technology is based on the present value of the expected after-tax royalty
savings. The fair value of the property and equipment, accounts payable, accrued compensation and deferred revenue were based on the
acquisition date fair values.
The
Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to determine the fair value of the intangible assets acquired in the Medsphere acquisition.
The fair value of the remaining assets and liabilities were determined by the Company. The weighted-average amortization period of the
acquired intangible assets is approximately three years.
Revenue
earned from the clients obtained from the Medsphere acquisition was approximately $10.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The restricted cash balance at December 31, 2025 in the consolidated balance sheet represents the contingent escrow portion of the purchase
price allocation. The liability for the contingent consideration escrow is included in the current portion of contingent consideration
in the December 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet.
The
Medsphere acquisition added additional clients to the Companys customer base, allowed access to additional inpatient clients and
the clinical software market, expanded the Companys ambulatory footprint and provided entry into certain managed services.
| | F-16 | | |
On
April 1, 2025 (the RevNu Closing Date), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the APA) with
Gratius Enterprises, Inc., doing business as RevNu Medical Management (RevNu), pursuant to which the Company acquired certain
assets of RevNu. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Under the APA, the Company is obligated to make quarterly
payments equal to twenty percent (20%) of the revenue generated from the acquired RevNu client accounts for a period of forty-two (42)
months following the RevNu Closing Date (the RevNu Quarterly Payments). The total purchase price is contingent upon future
revenue performance and includes the estimated fair value of the RevNu Quarterly Payments. In the event that the service agreement with
a specified customer is terminated, the Company will have no further obligation to make additional payments under the APA. For the year
ended December 31, 2025, the quarterly payments due to RevNu totaled approximately $53,000.
RevNu
is in the business of providing audiology and hearing aid billing/revenue cycle IT solutions and related services to hearing healthcare
providers/practices. The total consideration for this acquisition consisted of contingent consideration of approximately $565,000.
The
purchase price allocation of RevNu is summarized as follows:

The
fair value of the contract asset was based on the expected revenue earned by RevNu as of the RevNu Closing Date. The fair value of customer
relationships was based on the estimated discounted cash flows generated by these intangibles. The goodwill represents the Companys
ability to expand in the audiology and hearing aid market. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible ratably for income tax purposes
over fifteen years. It was estimated that the probable future payments required under the APA will be approximately $565,000 which has
been recorded as part of the purchase price allocation as contingent consideration.
The
Company performed the valuation of the acquired assets and the contingent consideration. The weighted-average amortization period of
the acquired intangible assets is approximately three years.
Revenue
earned from the clients obtained from the RevNu acquisition was approximately $882,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The
RevNu acquisition added additional clients in the audiology market to the Companys customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions,
broadened the Companys presence in the healthcare information technology industry through expansion of its customer base and by
increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff.
**Pro
forma financial information (Unaudited)**

The
unaudited pro forma information below represents the Companys consolidated results of operations as if the MAP App, Medsphere,
RevNu and one other small acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024. The pro forma information has been included for comparative purposes
and is not indicative of results of operations the Company would have had if the acquisitions occurred on the above date, nor is it necessarily
indicative of future results. The unaudited pro forma information reflects material, non-recurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable
to the business combinations. The difference between the actual net revenue and the pro forma net revenue is approximately $22.2 million
and $43.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively and are reflected as pro forma adjustments below. These
differences primarily represent revenue recorded from the MAP App, Medsphere, RevNu and one other small acquisition. Other differences
arise primarily from amortizing purchased intangibles using the double declining balance method, depreciating acquired fixed assets,
adjusting the interest expense and reversing debt exit fees and the goodwill amortization and impairment.

Goodwill
consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. At December 31, 2025,
and 2024, approximately $90,000 of goodwill was allocated to the Medical Practice Management segment and the balance was allocated to
the Healthcare IT segment. The following is the summary of the changes to the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December

**6.** **CONCENTRATIONS**
**Financial
Risks** As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held cash of approximately $1.1 million and $119,000, respectively, in
the name of its subsidiaries, at banks in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The banking systems in these countries do not provide deposit insurance
coverage. Additionally, from time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions in the United States in excess
of federal insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The cash held by each U.S. operating company
was below the federal insurance limit at December 31, 2025.
Concentrations
of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are managed by periodic credit evaluations of customers. The Company does not
require collateral for outstanding trade accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025, two customers each individually accounted for
approximately 7% and 5% of accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, two customers each individually accounted for
approximately 7% of accounts receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was one customer with sales of approximately
10% of total revenue, respectively.
**Geographical
Risks** The Companys offices in Islamabad, Karachi and Bagh, Pakistan, and Colombo, Sri Lanka conduct significant back-office
operations for the Company. The Company has no revenue earned outside of the United States. The office in Bagh is located in a different
territory of Pakistan from the Islamabad office known as Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The Bagh office was opened in 2009 for the purpose of
providing operational support and operating as a backup to the Islamabad office. The Bagh office operates as the main operational center
for the Company. The Companys operations outside the United States are subject to special considerations and significant risks
not typically associated with companies in the United States. The Companys business, financial condition and results of operations
may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environment in the countries in which it operates and by the general state of
these countries economies. The Companys results may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in governmental
policies with respect to laws and regulations, changes in local countries telecommunications industries, regulatory rules and
policies, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance, and rates and methods of taxation.
| | F-19 | | |
Carrying
amounts of net assets located outside the United States were approximately $8.5 million and $7.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively. These balances exclude net intercompany receivables of approximately $1.6 million and $2.2 million as of December
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following is a summary of the net assets located outside the United States as of December 31, 2025

**8.** **DEBT**
Silicon
Valley Bank (SVB) During October 2017, the Company opened a revolving line of credit from SVB under a three-year
agreement which replaced the previous credit facility. The
SVB credit facility was secured revolving line of credit where borrowings were based on a formula of 200% of repeatable revenue adjusted
by an annualized attrition rate as defined in the credit agreement.
Effective August 31, 2023, the credit facility agreement was amended whereby the interest rate was increased from the prime rate plus
1.5%
to the prime rate plus 2.0%.
The requirement for the minimum liquidity ratio was slightly reduced. These amendments expired on March
31, 2024 and the credit facility reverted to its
previous terms.
| | F-20 | | |
As
of December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings under the credit facility. Interest on the revolving line of credit was charged at the
prime rate plus 2.0% for the first quarter of 2024, but decreased to the prime rate plus 1.5% on April 1, 2024. There was also a fee
of one-half of 1% annually for the unused portion of the credit line. The debt was secured by all of the Companys domestic assets
and 65% of the shares in its offshore subsidiaries.
The
SVB credit agreement contained various covenants and conditions governing the revolving line of credit including an annual fee of $44,000.
These covenants included a minimum level of adjusted EBITDA or a minimum liquidity ratio, one of which must be satisfied when borrowings
are outstanding. At December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
During
October 2024, the Company entered into a Ninth Loan Modification agreement with SVB whereby the Company decreased the amount available
on its revolving line of credit from $25 million to $10 million which proportionally reduced the anniversary fee and the fee on the unused
portion of the credit line. As a result of the modification, one covenant was slightly modified. During August 2025, the Company terminated
the line of credit.
On
August 22, 2025, the Company entered into a Deferred Payment Agreement with Wells Fargo for $8,250,000 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
with Medsphere. The Deferred Payment Agreement had an interest rate of 12% per year with a maturity date of February 20, 2026 and was
secured by substantially all of the Companys assets. The Deferred Payment Agreement was paid on September 3, 2025. (See Note 3).
On
September 3, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement (the Agreement) with Provident Bank (Provident)
whereby Provident provided the Company with an available line of credit of $10
million. The
facility is secured by, among other things, a first lien security interest in substantially all of the domestic assets and other
property of the Company. The interest rate of the facility is an adjustable rate equal to the margin (300 basis points) over an
independent index which is equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The cost of the Provident line of
credit, which is included in interest expense, is approximately $116,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Agreement
contains various covenants and conditions governing the revolving line of credit including an initial commitment fee of $35,000 and
an annual fee of $35,000 thereafter. At December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. The Agreement
terminates on September 1, 2027, but can be renewed by the parties.
Upon
entering into the Agreement, the Company borrowed approximately $8.3 million on its line of credit with Provident to satisfy the obligation
to Wells Fargo incurred in connection with the Medsphere acquisition. The Company repaid the borrowed amount during the year ended December
31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, the available borrowing base was $10.0 million.
On
November 7, 2025, the Company entered into a five-year loan agreement with Republic Bank & Trust Company
(Republic) for $1,032,000
for the purchase of an aircraft, which serves as security for the loan. The interest rate on the loan is fixed at 6.75%
and is guaranteed by the Company. The Company plans to liquidate this loan within the next two years.
The
Company maintains cash balances at Provident in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage limits. The Company performs periodic evaluations
of the relative credit standing of Provident to ensure its credit worthiness. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company
held cash of approximately $1.1
million and $119,000,
respectively, in the name of its subsidiaries at banks in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The banking systems in these countries do not provide
deposit insurance coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash accounts.
*Vehicle
Financing Notes* The Company finances certain vehicle purchases both in the United States and in Pakistan. The vehicle financing
notes typically have three 3 to six year terms and are issued at current market rates.
*Aircraft
Financing Note* The Company financed an aircraft purchase with a note for $1,032,000 with Republic.

**9.** **REVENUE**
****
*Introduction*
**
The
Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. All revenue is recognized as our
performance obligations are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to
a customer, and is the unit of account under ASC 606. The Company recognizes revenue when the revenue cycle management services begin
on the medical billing claims, which is generally upon receipt of the claim from the provider. For many services, the Company recognizes
revenue as a percentage of the amount the customer collects on the medical billing claims. The Companys software is utilized at
the time the provider sees the patient, and the Company estimates the value of the consideration it will earn over the remaining contractual
period as our services are provided and recognizes the fees over the term; this estimation involves predicting the amounts our clients
will ultimately collect associated with the services they provided. Certain significant estimates, such as payment-to-charge ratios,
effective billing rates and the estimated contractual payment periods are required to measure revenue cycle management revenue under
the new standard.
Most
of our current contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation. The Company accounts for individual performance obligations
separately if they are distinct. For contracts where we provide multiple services, such as where we perform multiple ancillary services,
each service represents its own performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on
a relative standalone selling price (SSP) basis. The Company determines the SSP based on the Companys overall pricing
objectives by reviewing the Companys significant pricing practices, including discounting practices, geographical locations, the
size and volume of the Companys transactions, the customer type, price lists, pricing strategy, and historical standalone sales.
The SSP is analyzed on a periodic basis to identify if the Company has experienced significant changes in selling prices.
We
apply the portfolio approach as permitted by ASC 606 as a practical expedient to contracts with similar characteristics and we use estimates
and assumptions when accounting for those portfolios. Our contracts generally include standard commercial payment terms. We have no significant
obligations for refunds, warranties or similar obligations and our revenue does not include taxes collected from our customers.
Disaggregation
of Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We
derive revenue from five primary sources: (1) Technology-enabled business solutions, (2) professional services, (3) printing and mailing
services, (4) group purchasing services and (5) medical practice management services.

*Technology-enabled
business solutions:*
Revenue
derived on an on-going basis from our technology-enabled solutions, which typically includes revenue cycle management services, is billed
as a percentage of payments collected by our customers. The fee for our services often includes the ability to use our EHR and practice
management software as well as RCM as part of the bundled fee. The SaaS component is not a material portion of the contract compared
to the stand-alone value of RCM.
Technology-assisted
revenue cycle management services are the recurring process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies
in order for the healthcare providers to receive payment for the services they rendered. The Company typically invoices customers on
a monthly basis based on the actual collections received by its customers and the agreed-upon rate in the sales contract. The fee for
these services typically includes use of practice management software and related tools (on a SaaS basis), electronic health records
(on a SaaS basis), medical billing services and use of mobile health solutions. We consider the services to be one performance obligation
since the promises are not distinct in the context of the contract. The performance obligation consists of a series of distinct services
that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers.
In
many cases, our clients may terminate their agreements with 90 days notice without cause, thereby limiting the term in which we
have enforceable rights and obligations, although this time period can vary between clients. Our payment terms are normally net 30 days.
Although our contracts typically have stated terms of one or more years, under ASC 606 our contracts are considered month-to-month and
accordingly, there is no financing component.
For
the majority of our revenue cycle management contracts, the total transaction price is variable because our obligation is to process
an unknown quantity of claims, as and when requested by our customers over the contract period. When a contract includes variable consideration,
we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include
variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative
revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimates to
determine variable consideration such as payment to charge ratios, effective billing rates, and the estimated contractual payment periods
are updated at each reporting date. Revenue is recognized over the performance period using the input method.
Our
proprietary, cloud-based practice management application automates the labor-intensive workflow of a medical office in a unified and
streamlined SaaS platform. The Company has a large number of clients who utilize the Companys practice management, urgent care
and clinical workflow software, electronic health records software, patient experience management solutions, business intelligence software,
inventory management systems, and/or robotic process automation software on a SaaS basis, but who do not utilize the Companys
revenue cycle management services. SaaS fees may be fixed based on the number of providers, or may be variable.
Our
digital health services, which began generating revenue in 2022, include Chronic Care Management (CCM), where a care manager
has remote visits with patients with one or more chronic conditions under the supervision of a physician who is our client. The performance
obligation for CCM is satisfied at a point in time once the patient receives the remote visit. The digital health services also include
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) where our system monitors recordings from FDA approved internet connected devices. These
devices record patient trends and alerts the physician to changes which might trigger the need for additional follow-up visits. The performance
obligations for remote patient monitoring are satisfied over time as the recordings are received and the patient receives the remote
visit. The revenue for CCM for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $2.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
The revenue for RPM for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $794,000 and $779,000, respectively.
| | F-23 | | |
The
medical billing clearinghouse service takes claim information from customers, checks the claims for errors and sends this information
electronically to insurance companies. The Company invoices customers on a monthly basis based on the number of claims submitted and
the agreed-upon rate in the agreement. This service is provided to medical practices and providers to medical practices who are not revenue
cycle management customers. The performance obligation is satisfied once the relevant submissions are completed.
Additional
services such as coding and transcription are rendered in connection with the delivery of revenue cycle management and related medical
services. The Company invoices customers monthly, based on the actual amount of services performed at the agreed-upon rate in the contract.
These services are only offered to revenue cycle management customers. These services do not represent a material right because the services
are optional to the customer and customers electing these services are charged the same price for those services as if they were on a
standalone basis. Each individual coding or transcription transaction processed represents a performance obligation, which is satisfied
over time as that individual service is rendered.
*Professional
services:*
Our
professional services include an extensive set of services including EHR vendor-agnostic optimization and activation, project management,
IT transformation consulting, process improvement, training, education and staffing for large healthcare organizations including health
systems and hospitals. Our professional services beginning in 2025 include managed IT services, government consulting and product development
services. The performance obligation is satisfied over time using the input method. The revenue is recorded on a monthly basis as the
professional services are rendered. Unbilled revenue at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $79,000 and $338,000, respectively.
*Printing
and mailing services:*
The
Company provides printing and mailing services for both revenue cycle management customers and a non- revenue cycle management customer,
and invoices on a monthly basis based on the number of prints, the agreed-upon rate per print and the postage incurred. The performance
obligation is satisfied once the printing and mailing is completed.
*Group
purchasing services:*
The
Company provides group purchasing services which enable medical providers to purchase various vaccines directly from selected pharmaceutical
companies at a discounted price. Currently, there are approximately 4,000 medical providers who are members of the program. Revenue is
recognized as the vaccine shipments are made to the medical providers. Fees from the pharmaceutical companies are paid either quarterly
or annually and the Company adjusts its revenue accrual at the time of payment. The Company makes significant judgments regarding the
variable consideration which we expect to be entitled to for the group purchasing services which includes the anticipated shipments to
the members enrolled in the program, anticipated volumes of purchases made by the members, and the changes in the number of members.
The amounts recorded are constrained by estimates of decreases in shipments and loss of members to avoid a significant revenue reversal
in the subsequent period. The only performance obligation is to provide the pharmaceutical companies with the medical providers who want
to become members in order to purchase vaccines. The performance obligation is satisfied once the medical provider agrees to purchase
a specific quantity of vaccines and the medical providers information is forwarded to the vaccine suppliers. The Company records
a contract asset for revenue earned and not paid as the ultimate payment is conditioned on achieving certain volume thresholds.
For
all of the above revenue streams other than group purchasing services and CCM, revenue is recognized over time, which is typically one
month or less, which closely matches the point in time that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by
the Company. For the group purchasing services, revenue is recognized at a point in time. Each service is substantially the same and
has the same periodic pattern of transfer to the customer. Each of the services provided above is considered a separate performance obligation.
There
were no unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year. The Company has elected to
utilize the practical expedient available with the guidance for contracts with an expected duration of one year or less.
| | F-24 | | |
**
*Medical
practice management services:*
The
Company also provides medical practice management services under long-term management service agreements to three medical practices.
We provide the medical practices with the nurses, administrative support, facilities, supplies, equipment, marketing, RCM, accounting,
and other non-clinical services needed to efficiently operate their practices. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided to
the medical practices. Revenue recorded in the consolidated statements of operations represents the reimbursement of costs paid by the
Company for the practices and the management fee earned each month for managing the practice. The management fee is based on either a
fixed fee or a percentage of the net operating income.
The
Company assumes all financial risk for the performance of the managed medical practices. Revenue is impacted by the amount of the costs
incurred by the practices and their operating income. The gross billing of the practices is impacted by billing rates, changes in current
procedural terminology code reimbursement and collection trends which in turn impacts the management fee that the Company is entitled
to. Billing rates are reviewed at least annually and adjusted based on current insurer reimbursement practices. The performance obligation
is satisfied as the management services are provided.
Our
contracts for medical practice management services have approximately an additional 13 years remaining and are only cancellable under
very limited circumstances. The Company receives a management fee each month for managing the day-to-day business operations of each
medical group as a fixed fee or a percentage payment of the net operating income which is included in revenue in the consolidated statements
of operations.
Our
medical practice management services obligations consist of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the
same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers. Revenue is recognized over time, however for reporting and convenience purposes,
the management fee is computed at each month end.
*Information
about contract balances:*
As
of December 31, 2025, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to the remaining revenue cycle management
performance obligations outstanding was approximately $3.2 million. We expect to recognize substantially all of the revenue for the remaining
performance obligations over the next three months. Approximately $264,000 and $249,000 of the contract asset represents revenue earned,
not paid, from the group purchasing services and referral fees, respectively.
Amounts
that we are entitled to collect under the applicable contract are recorded as accounts receivable. Invoicing is performed at the end
of each month when the services have been provided. The contract asset includes our right to payment for services already transferred
to a customer when the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. For example, contracts for revenue
cycle management services where we recognize revenue over time but do not have a contractual right to payment until the customer receives
payment of their claim from the insurance provider. The contract asset also includes the revenue accrued, not received, for the group
purchasing services.
| | F-25 | | |
Changes
in the contract asset are recorded as adjustments to net revenue. The changes primarily result from providing services to revenue cycle
management customers that result in additional consideration and are offset by our right to payment for services becoming unconditional
and changes in the revenue accrued for the group purchasing services. The contract asset for our group purchasing services is reduced
when we receive payments from vaccine manufacturers and is increased for revenue earned, not received. The opening and closing balances
of the Companys accounts receivable, contract asset and deferred revenue are as follows:

*Deferred
revenue:*
The
amount of deferred revenue that was recorded at the beginning of the year and recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024 was approximately $735,000
and $909,000,
respectively.
**
*Deferred
commissions:*
Our
sales incentive plans include commissions payable to employees and third parties at the time of the initial contract execution that are
capitalized as incremental costs to obtain a contract. The capitalized commissions are amortized over the period the related services
are transferred. As we do not offer commissions on contract renewals, we have determined the amortization period to be the estimated
client life, which is three years. Deferred commissions were approximately $211,000 and $386,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively,
and are included in the other assets amounts in the consolidated balance sheets. The amortization of deferred sales commissions during
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $248,000 and $327,000, respectively.
*Trade
Accounts Receivable Estimate of Credit Losses:*
ASU
2016-13 requires the recognition of lifetime estimated credit losses expected to occur for trade accounts receivable. The guidance also
requires we pool assets with similar risk characteristics and consider current economic conditions when estimating losses.
At
adoption, we segmented the accounts receivable population into pools based on their risk assessment. Risks related to trade accounts
receivable are a customers inability to pay or bankruptcy. Each pool was defined by their internal credit assessment and business
size. The pools are aligned with managements review of financial performance. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
no adjustment to the pools was necessary.
We
utilize a loss-rate method to measure the expected credit loss for each pool. The loss rate is calculated using a three-year lookback
period of write-offs and adjustments, divided by the revenue for each pool by aging category, net of customer payments during that period.
We consider current and future economic conditions, internal forecasts, customer collection experience and credit memos issued during
the current period when assessing loss rates. We reviewed these factors and concluded that no adjustments should be made to the historical
loss rate data for the current quarter. In addition, the Company uses specific account identification in determining the total allowance
for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are written off only after the Company has exhausted all collection efforts.
Changes
in the allowance for expected credit losses for trade accounts receivable are presented in the table below:

**10.** **SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY**
****
On
September 11, 2024, a Certificate of Amendment (the Amendment) to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights
of 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the Existing Certificate) became effective, amending certain provisions
of the 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred Stock).
The
title of the Existing Certificate was amended to read Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights
of 8.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will now receive similar
change of control protections to those afforded to holders of the Companys Series B Preferred Stock. The dividend of Series A
Preferred Stock was amended from 11% to 8.75% per annum and the per annum dividend amount per share was amended from $2.75 to $2.1875
per share per annum. Also, the Company now has the right to exchange the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for common stock at the liquidation
preference value of $25 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (See note 20).
*Treasury
stock*
The
Board of Directors of the Company previously approved common stock repurchase programs. The last program expired in January 2017. As
a result of these stock repurchases, the Company has 740,799 common shares held as treasury stock at an aggregate cost of $662,000.
*Common
stock*
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters properly submitted to a vote of shareholders on which
holders of common stock are entitled to vote. Holders of common stocks are entitled to receive dividends only at times and amounts as
determined by the Board of Directors. The common stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption
or sinking fund provisions. The common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the trading symbol CCLD.
In
January 2025, the Companys common stock shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized common shares from 35 million
to 85 million. An amended certificate of incorporation was filed by the Company.
*Preferred
stock*
The
Company has seven million authorized shares of preferred stock of which 4,560,000 have been designated as Series A shares and the balance
have been designated as Series B shares.
Since
September 11, 2024, we have had the right, at our option, to convert the majority of the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock
at any time. If we convert shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, then subsequent to the conversion date, dividends would cease
to accrue on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will then no longer be deemed
outstanding and all rights as a holder of those shares will terminate, except the right to receive the shares of common stock plus
accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon the conversion.
On
March 6, 2025, the Board of Directors elected to exercise its conversion rights, which provided for the conversion of each share of Series
A Preferred Stock into 7.3358
shares of common stock, inclusive of all accumulated and unpaid
dividends (the Conversion). Dividends on the converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock ceased to accrue as of the conversion
date. Individual shareholders who, on the exchange date, owned at least 100,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock did not have their shares
automatically converted to common stock so long as they were held by the Companys transfer agent, unless they consented to the
Conversion. There were 3,541,701
shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted at that time and
984,530
shares of Series A Preferred Stock continued to be outstanding
at that time and through December 31, 2025. Due to the Conversion, the monthly cash dividends on Series A Preferred Stock were reduced
to approximately $455,000
per month. As a result of the Conversion, the Company delisted
the Series A Preferred Stock from the Nasdaq Global Market.
Since
November 4, 2020, the Company has the right to redeem, at its option, the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at a cash
redemption price of $25.00
per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date. This right continues for the remaining
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock still outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any
sinking fund or other mandatory redemption, and is not convertible at the option of the holder into or exchangeable for any of the
Companys other securities. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if
dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears for eighteen or more consecutive or non-consecutive monthly
dividend periods, at which time they are entitled to appoint two additional directors to our Board of Directors. If the Company were
to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to receive $25.00
per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment, before any payment is made to the
holders of the common stock.
Since
February 15, 2025 and prior to February 15, 2026, we were able to redeem, at our option, the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in
part, at a cash redemption price of $25.50 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date.
On or after February 15, 2026 and prior to February 15, 2027, we may redeem, at our option, the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or
in part, at a cash redemption price of $25.25 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption
date. On or after February 15, 2027, we may redeem, at our option, the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at a cash redemption
price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date. The Series B Preferred Stock
is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the trading symbol CCLDO.
Dividends
on the Series A Preferred Stock of $2.75 annually
per share (through September 11, 2024 and $2.19 thereafter)
and the Series B Preferred Stock at $2.19 annually
per share are cumulative from the date of issue and are payable each month when, as and if declared by the Companys Board of
Directors. In October 2023, the Board of Directors declared monthly dividends on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock payable
through February 2024. However, on December 11, 2023, the Board of Directors suspended the monthly cash dividends for Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock beginning with the payment scheduled for December 15, 2023 together with the remaining
dividends that were declared. The suspension of these dividends deferred approximately $1.3 million
in cash dividend payments each month through September 11, 2024. Due to the above Amendment, effective on September 12, 2024, the
combined monthly cash dividends were reduced to approximately $1.1 million
per month.
| | F-27 | | |
During
the suspension, dividends continued to accrue in arrears on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. The Companys Board of Directors
declared payment of two months of dividends in January 2025 and the Company resumed payment of the dividends in February 2025, paying
one month of dividends in arrears each month during the remainder of 2025.
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, no dividends were declared by the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2024, the Company owed approximately
$5.4 million for dividends that had previously been declared through February 2024 (but whose payment was suspended), and also had total
undeclared dividends of approximately $12.3 million, which represents the accumulated (but undeclared) dividends due to Preferred Stock
shareholders of record on December 31, 2024. Dividends that have accrued in arrears but which have not been declared by the Board of
Directors are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets but are reflected in the net loss attributable to common shareholders.

Stock and $2.55 per share for the Series B Preferred Stock.

In
March 2019, a former customer filed a complaint against the Company in New Jersey State Court to recover damages claimed to have been
caused by the mishandling of their account. Plaintiff alleged at least approximately $750,000 in damages which was disputed by the Company.
The parties participated in a one-day court-ordered, non-binding arbitration. At that time, the arbitrator awarded Plaintiff $288,750
on its contract claims, and awarded the Company $21,698 on its cross-claim for unpaid fees. Plaintiff filed to reject this award. The
Company previously filed a partial motion for summary judgment on the alleged punitive damages, but the court denied that motion finding
there is an issue of fact as to whether those can be awarded at trial. The Company filed an offer of judgment for $200,000 during April
2024 which was accepted and paid in July 2024.
In
connection with a prior acquisition, the seller had alleged that the Company owed approximately $800,000 in transition related costs
to them. The parties agreed to settle the claim for approximately $316,000, which was paid in September 2024.
A
former customer had a dispute with the Company that was based on services before and after the account was acquired in an acquisition.
A complaint was filed in Massachusetts State Court, Essex County in February 2018. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Companys
liability, if any, was solely and expressly limited to damages related to its handling of the account at issue. The parties participated
in formal mediation and at that time, Plaintiffs starting settlement demand was over $2 million. The mediation was not successful.
The Company made an offer of $100,000 in December 2024 to settle the suit, which was accepted. The settlement amount was recorded in
accrued expenses at December 31, 2024 in the consolidated balance sheet. A settlement agreement with mutual releases was signed by the
parties in January 2025 and payment was made in February 2025.
A
dispute occurred with a former customer regarding previous services rendered and they filed a complaint in New York Supreme Court, Onondaga
County in January 2024. During settlement communications, Plaintiffs initial settlement demand was over $2.5 million. During ongoing
settlement communications, the Company made an offer of $29,000 in March 2025, which was accepted. A settlement agreement with mutual
releases was signed by the parties in May 2025 and payment was made in June 2025.
A
dispute arose with a current customer utilizing the Companys system and they filed a complaint in Connecticut Superior Court,
Judicial District of Middlesex in April 2025. The parties agreed to settle the claim for $24,000. This amount was accrued at December
31, 2025 and was paid during January 2026.
From
time to time, we may become involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently
a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would individually or taken together have a material adverse
effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
**12.** **LEASES**
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office and temporary living space as well as for some
office equipment. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, current operating lease liability and non-current operating
lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company does not have any finance leases.
ROU
assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present
value of the lease payments over the lease term.
As
most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, which are derived from information
available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to our bank financing
arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.
| | F-29 | | |
Our
lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of
less than 12 months are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.
For real estate leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Some leases include escalation
clauses and termination options that are factored in the determination of the lease payments when appropriate.
If
a lease is modified after the effective date, the operating lease ROU asset and liability is re-measured using the current incremental
borrowing rate. There was one lease modification during both the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. We review our incremental borrowing
rate for our portfolio of leases on a quarterly basis.
There
were no lease impairments recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Lease
expense is included in direct operating costs, general and administrative expense, selling and marketing expense and research and development
expense in the consolidated statements of operations based on the nature of the expense. As of December 31, 2025, we had 27 leased properties,
five in Medical Practice Management and 22 in Healthcare IT, with the remaining terms ranging from less than one year to ten years. Our
lease terms are determined taking into account lease renewal options, the Companys anticipated operating plans and leases that
are on a month-to-month basis. We also have some related party leases see Note 13.

In
February 2023, the Compensation Committee granted executive bonuses to be paid in 34,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, with the
number of shares and the amount based on specified criteria being achieved during the year 2023. During October 2023, the Compensation
Committee approved for issuance 10,000 of the above shares to one of the executives who retired. The remaining shares were not issued
and previously accrued amounts were reversed during 2024.
In
March 2024, the Compensation Committee approved executive bonuses to be paid in shares of Series B Preferred Stock with the number of
shares and the amount based on specified criteria being achieved for the year 2024. There were 34,000 shares awarded. During May 2024,
an additional executive bonus with similar terms was approved and 12,000 shares were awarded. During December 2024, the Compensation
Committee determined that the financial objectives were attained and all of the performance bonus shares were issued.
**Stock-based
compensation expense**
****
The
Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. For stock
awards classified as equity, the market price of our common stock or Preferred Stock on the date of grant is used to record the fair
value of the award and includes the related taxes. For stock awards classified as a liability, the earned amount is marked to market
based on the end of period common stock price. The weighted average grant date fair value of the common stock price in connection with
the RSUs classified as equity was $2.38 and $2.16 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the Series B Preferred
Stock, the weighted average grant date fair value was $6.33 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**17.** **INCOME TAXES**
For
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company estimated its income tax provision based upon the annual pre-tax income.
Although the Company reported GAAP earnings in 2025 and 2024, it incurred tax losses historically and there is uncertainty regarding
future U.S. taxable income, to which the Company believes makes realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in
accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all federal and state deferred tax assets as
of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The
annual adjusted earnings and profits of our foreign affiliates pass through to the U.S. as federal and state taxable income under the
Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) regime now referred to as Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income (NCTI).
For the tax years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net NCTI from our foreign affiliates was absorbed against our current year U.S.
consolidated loss. For state tax purposes, the Companys foreign earnings may be taxable depending on each individual states
legislative stance on the recent tax reform legislation. The activity in the deferred tax valuation allowance was as follows for the
years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

|
Deferred
income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax
bases, as well as from net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes
payable on taxable income in future years. Deferred income tax liabilities represent amounts that will increase income taxes payable
in future years.
The
Company has recorded goodwill as a result of its acquisitions. Goodwill is generally not amortized for financial reporting purposes.
However, in 2023 the Company recorded a $42 million goodwill impairment charge, which partially reduced the basis of the tax-deductible
goodwill. For tax purposes, goodwill from asset acquisitions is tax deductible and amortized over 15 years. As such, deferred income
tax expense and a deferred tax liability arise as a result of the tax-deductibility of this indefinitely lived asset (also known as a
naked credit). Typically, the resulting deferred tax liability, which is expected to continue to increase over the amortization period,
will have an indefinite life. As a result of the Company having indefinite life net operating losses under the recent tax reform legislation,
the federal deferred tax liability resulting from the amortization of goodwill was offset against these indefinite federal operating
net losses deferred tax assets to the extent allowable prior to 2023. As a result of the goodwill impairment charge in 2023, the entire
deferred tax liability was reversed at that time and no additional deferred tax liability was recorded at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

At
December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record any uncertain tax positions based on the technical merits. Therefore, a
tabular roll forward was excluded and there has been no accrued interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, various states, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. As of December 31, 2025, all
tax years since 2014 remain open to examination due to the carryover of unused net operating losses and tax credits in the United
States by major taxing jurisdictions in which the
Company is subject to tax. IT companies in Pakistan are subject to a 0.25% tax deducted at the source on receipts received from
foreign sources with no further tax being due.
It is the Companys policy that any assessed penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions would be charged to income tax
expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and did not recognize any interest or
penalties.
The
Pakistan foreign receipts tax does not have a significant impact on the Companys effective tax rate as all of its earnings in
Pakistan have been fully included in the U.S. federal tax rate reconciliation at 21% for 2025 and 2024. The Pakistan statutory corporate
tax rate is 29% before consideration of the aforementioned tax credit and the foreign receipts tax.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company has a total federal NOL carry forward of approximately $271 million of which approximately $186 million
will expire between 2030 and 2037, and the balance of approximately $85 million has an indefinite life. At December 31, 2025, the Company
had federal research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $3.4 million. Out of the total federal NOL carry forward,
approximately $237 million is from the CareCloud and Meridian acquisitions and is subject to the federal Section 382 NOL annual usage
limitations. The Company has state NOL carry forwards of approximately $214 million, of which $87 million relates to the State of New
Jersey. These NOLs expire starting in 2026.
The
Company has a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the U.S. which results in there being no U.S. deferred tax assets
or liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
On
July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Act (OBBBA) was enacted into law. The OBBBA contained several tax changes to
certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, including foreign-related tax reporting items. The Company carefully assessed all aspects of
the OBBBA and has determined that its impacts are immaterial to its income tax position.

SEGMENT
REPORTING | |
From
January 1, 2024 through April 30, 2024, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Executive Chairman served as the Chief Decision
Maker (CODM), organizing the Company, managing resource allocations and measuring performance among two operating and reportable
segments: (i) Healthcare IT and (ii) Medical Practice Management. As of May 1, 2024, the Companys President, CEO and Executive
Chairman served as the CODM. Effective January 1, 2025, the Executive Chairman and the two Co-CEOs served as the CODM. We report our
segment information based on the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of
our reportable segments.
The
CODM evaluates the financial performance of the business units on the basis of revenue, certain individual and total operating
expenses and operating income (loss), as shown below, excluding unallocated amounts, which are mainly corporate overhead costs, for
assessing operating results and the allocation of resources. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability
information. The CODM uses segment revenue, certain segment operating expenses and segment operating income (loss), as shown below, to manage the
segments, comparing actual results to forecasted amounts and investigating the reasons for significant variances. Currently, a focus
is being placed on reducing costs and managing global headcount. The segment revenue and segment operating income (loss) is also
used to assess the performance of personnel and in establishing their compensation.
The
Healthcare IT segment includes technology-assisted revenue cycle management, SaaS solutions and professional and other services. The
Medical Practice Management segment includes the management of three medical practices. Each segment is considered a reporting unit.
The Company does not have intra-entity sales or asset transfers, however, there are intracompany bank transfers. The accounting policies
of the segments are the same as those disclosed in the summary of significant accounting policies. The following tables present revenues,
operating expenses and operating income (loss) by reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | |
Fair
value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent
sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market participant assumptions in the absence of observable market information.
We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair values
of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgement associated with the
inputs used to measure their value in one of the following three categories:
Level
1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We held no Level 1 financial instruments
at December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Level
2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets with inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Our Level
2 financial instruments include notes payable which are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged
approximate market rates.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if
any, market activity for the asset or liability. Our Level 3 instruments include the fair value of contingent consideration related to
completed acquisitions. The fair value at December 31, 2025 is based on a discounted cash flow analysis reflecting the likelihood of
achieving specified performance measure or events and captures the contractual nature of the contingencies, the passage of time and the
associated discount rate. There was no contingent consideration recorded at December 31, 2024.

The
following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and
2024. Refer to Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, for a description of the valuation techniques used
to determine the fair value of the assets measured on a non-recurring basis in the table below:
