Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements that we make from time to time, including statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute “forward looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended,  or  the  Exchange  Act.  All  statements  other  than  statements  of  historical  fact  contained  in  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  are  forward-looking
statements.  These  statements,  among  other  things,  relate  to  our  business  strategy,  goals  and  expectations  concerning  our  products,  future  operations,
prospects, plans and objectives of management. The words “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “project”, “will”
and similar terms and phrases are used to identify forward-looking statements in this presentation. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which
are  outside  our  control,  and  any  one  of  which,  or  a  combination  of  which,  could  materially  affect  our  results  of  operations  and  whether  the  forward-looking
statements  ultimately  prove  to  be  correct.  Forward-looking  statements  in  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  include,  without  limitation,  statements  reflecting
management’s expectations for future financial performance and operating expenditures (including our ability to continue as a going concern, to raise additional
capital and to succeed in our future operations), expected growth, profitability and business outlook, increased sales and marketing expenses, and the expected
results from the integration of our acquisitions.

Forward-looking statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual
results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by such statements. These factors include, among other
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 manage our growth, including acquiring, partnering with, and effectively integrating the recent acquisition of Orion Healthcorp, Inc. and other
acquired businesses into our infrastructure;

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 maintain operations in Pakistan and Sri Lanka in a manner that continues to enable us to offer competitively priced products and services;

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

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

our ability to maintain and protect the privacy of confidential and protected Company, client and patient information;

our ability to protect and enforce intellectual property rights;

our ability to attract and retain key officers and employees, and the continued involvement of Mahmud Haq as Executive Chairman and Stephen Snyder
as Chief Executive Officer, all of which are critical to our ongoing operations, growing our business and integrating of our newly acquired businesses;

our ability to comply with covenants contained in our credit agreement with our senior secured lender, Silicon Valley Bank and other future debt facilities;

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; and

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

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.  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.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Our Company

MTBC,  Inc.,  formerly  known  as  Medical  Transcription  Billing,  Corp.,  together  with  its  consolidated  subsidiaries  (the  “Company”),  is  a  healthcare  information
technology  company  that  provides  a  suite  of  proprietary  web-based  solutions  and  business  services  to  healthcare  providers.  Our  integrated  Software-as-a-
Service (“SaaS”) platform and business services are designed to help our clients increase revenues, streamline workflows and make better business and clinical
decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. These solutions and services include:

•

•

Revenue cycle  management  (“RCM”)  services,  which  include  end-to-end  medical  billing,  eligibility,  analytics,  and  related services,  all  of  which  can  be
provided either with our technology platform or through a third-party system;
Proprietary healthcare IT solutions, which are part of our RCM services, including:

Electronic health  records  (“EHR”),  which  are  easy  to  use,  integrated  with  our  business  services  and  allow  our  healthcare provider  clients  to
reduce paperwork and qualify for incentives;
Practice management software and related tools, which support our clients’ day-to-day business operations and workflows;
Mobile Health  (“mHealth”)  solutions,  including  smartphone  applications  that  assist  patients  and  healthcare  providers in  the  provision  of
healthcare services;
Healthcare claims clearinghouse, which enables our clients to electronically scrub and submit claims to, and process payments from, insurance
companies; and
Business intelligence, customized applications, interfaces and a variety of other technology solutions that support our healthcare clients;

• Group purchasing  services  which  include  our  negotiation  of  discounts  with  pharmaceutical  manufacturers  and  the  extension  of  those discounts  to  our

•

physician members; and
Comprehensive practice  management  services,  which  are  offered  under  long-term  management  service  agreements  pursuant  to  which  we  provide
certain practices with the administrative support, facilities, supplies, equipment, marketing, RCM, accounting, and other non-clinical services required to
efficiently operate their practices.

We are able to deliver our industry-leading solutions at very competitive prices because we leverage a combination of our proprietary software, which automates
our workflows and increases efficiency, together with our team of over 350 experienced health industry experts throughout the United States. These experts who
are supported by our highly educated and specialized offshore workforce of approximately 2,000 team members at labor costs that we believe are approximately
one-tenth the cost of comparable U.S. employees. Our unique business model also allowed us to become a leading consolidator in our industry sector, gaining
us a reputation for acquiring and positively transforming distressed competitors into profitable operations of MTBC.

During  July  2018,  the  Company  acquired  substantially  all  of  the  revenue  cycle  management,  practice  management  and  group  purchasing  assets  of  Orion
Healthcorp, Inc. and 13 of its affiliates (together “Orion”). The Company paid $12.6 million in cash for the acquisition. This acquisition expanded the scope of our
offerings to include additional niche hospital solutions, a service that negotiates vaccine discounts with pharmaceutical manufacturers and then extends those
vaccine discounts to its physician members, and a service that provides end-to-end practice management services to physician practices under multi-decade
management service agreements.

Adoption  of  our  RCM  solutions  requires  little  or  no  upfront  expenditure  by  a  client.  Additionally,  for  most  of  our  solutions  and  customers,  our  financial
performance  is  linked  directly  to  the  financial  performance  of  our  clients,  as  the  vast  majority  of  our  revenues  are  based  on  a  percentage  of  our  clients’
collections.  The  standard  fee  for  our  complete,  integrated,  end-to-end  solution  is  among  the  lowest  in  the  industry.  We  estimate  that  we  currently  provide
services to more than 10,000 providers, (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills
for their services) practicing in approximately 1,800 independent medical practices and hospitals, representing 79 specialties and subspecialties in 43 states. In
addition, we served approximately 200 clients which 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, consisting of one to ten providers, to community hospitals. Our customer which generates the largest revenue for
us has over 1,300 providers of physical, occupational and speech therapy services to patients in multiple states.

On July 23, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock. The Company sold approximately four million shares at a price to
the public of $5.00 per share.

In November 2015, the Company completed a public offering of its 11% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
The Company sold 231,616 shares at a price of $25.00 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $4.7 million. In July 2016, the Company sold an
additional 63,040 shares of Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. In 2017, the Company raised a total of $16.4 million in net
proceeds  from  a  series  of  additional  offerings  totaling  approximately  765,000  shares  of  Preferred  Stock,  all  at  $25.00  per  share.  In  May  2017,  the  Company
completed a registered direct offering of one million shares of its common stock at $2.30 per share, raising net proceeds of approximately $2.0 million. During
2018, the Company issued 1,020,000 shares of Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $22.8 million.

During 2016, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of four medical billing companies, Gulf Coast Billing, Inc., Renaissance Medical Billing, LLC
and WFS Services, Inc. As part of the transaction, the Company acquired a mailing service operation from WFS Services, Inc. In addition, the Company also
purchased  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  MediGain,  LLC,  including  its  subsidiary  Millennium  Practice  Management  Associates,  LLC  and  two  offshore
subsidiaries in India and Sri Lanka through MTBC’s wholly owned subsidiary, MTBC Acquisition, Corp.

In 2017, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Washington Medical Billing, LLC, another medical billing company.

In  2018,  the  Company  purchased  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  Orion,  through  MTBC’s  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  MTBC  Health,  Inc.  and  MTBC  Practice
Management, Corp.

On February 6, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to MTBC, Inc.

Employees

Including the employees of our subsidiaries, as of January 2019, the Company employed approximately 2,400 people worldwide on a full-time basis. 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. Over the next twelve months, we
anticipate  increasing  our  total  number  of  employees  only  if  our  revenues  increase  or  our  operating  requirements  warrant  such  hiring,  or  for  specific  functions
where we place additional emphasis, such as marketing and sales.

Our Growth Strategy

The RCM service industry is highly fragmented, with many local and regional RCM companies serving small medical practices and hospitals. We believe that the
industry is 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 to meet the growing technology and business service needs of healthcare providers without a significant investment in an information
technology  infrastructure.  Since  the  Company  went  public  in  July  2014,  we  have  acquired  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  11  RCM  companies.  Although  the
specific arrangements have varied with each transaction, typical arrangements include a discounted price, consideration which is sometimes tied to revenues
from the customer relationships acquired, and structuring the acquisition as an asset purchase so as to limit our liability. We typically leverage our technology
and our cost-effective offshore team to reduce costs promptly after the transaction closes, although there will be initial costs associated with the integration of
the acquired business with our existing operations.

We  believe  we  can  further  accelerate  organic  growth  through  industry  participants,  whereby  in  addition  to  obtaining  referrals,  we  utilize  them  as  channel
partners  to  offer  integrated  solutions  to  their  clients.  We  have  entered  into  such  arrangements  with  industry  participants,  and  from  which  we  began  to  derive
revenue  from  them  starting  in  mid-2014.  We  have  developed  application  interfaces  with  numerous  EHR  systems,  together  with  device  and  lab  integration  to
support these relationships.

During  2017,  we  started  to  realize  the  benefits  of  our  investment  in  organic  growth  initiatives.  In  late  2017,  we  signed  a  950  clinician  practice  that  provides
physical, occupational and speech therapy services to patients across multiple states. This client has grown in the time since signing with MTBC and is currently
our largest client as measured by monthly revenue and provider count.

During  2018,  we  completed  our  largest  acquisition  of  Orion,  adding  approximately  $17.8  million  of  revenue  for  the  year.  In  addition  to  revenue  cycle
management, after the Orion acquisition we earned approximately 19% of our revenue from practice management services, which represents fees based on our
actual costs plus a percentage of the operating profit. We also earned approximately 2% of our revenue from group purchasing services.

Industry Overview

In  February  2019,  the  Centers  for  Medicare  and  Medical  Services  (“CMS”)  estimated  that  U.S.  healthcare  spending  increased  by  3.9%  to  reach  nearly  $3.5
trillion. CMS also projected that U.S healthcare spending will grow 5.5% annually on average during years 2019 through 2027, reaching $6.0 trillion by 2027.
CMS also projected that health spending will grow 0.8% point faster than Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) annually during the years 2019 through 2027; and as
a result, the health share of GDP is expected to rise from 17.9% in 2017 to 19.4% by 2027.

Increasingly  complex  reimbursement  processes. New  laws  and  payer  requirements  have  further  complicated  insurance  reimbursement  processes.  For
example, Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurances are increasingly requiring proof of adherence to best practices and improved patient health outcomes
to  support  full  reimbursement.  Moreover,  the  recent  shift  to  a  new  generation  of  insurance  codes  has  dramatically  increased  the  complexity  associated  with
selecting appropriate procedure and diagnosis codes needed to support proper claim submission and reimbursement.

Movement  toward  healthcare  information  technology.  Since  2011,  the  federal  government  has  offered  financial  incentives  to  eligible  healthcare  providers
who adopt and meaningfully use EHR technology. Beginning in 2015, providers who are not meaningfully using this technology began to incur penalties, which
increase over time. While these incentives and penalties have encouraged many providers to adopt and meaningfully use EHR software, we believe that most
providers  are  not  utilizing  an  integrated  platform  that  combines  practice  management,  business  intelligence,  and  revenue  cycle  management.  The  lack  of  an
integrated platform leaves them ill-equipped to address the multitude of rapidly growing industry challenges and government mandates.

The United States RCM market has been estimated by Grand View Research to be approximately $11 billion in 2017, growing at a compound annual growth
rate (“CAGR”) of 11.2% per year for the forecast period from 2019 through 2025. The North American EHR market has been estimated by Transparency Market
Research  to  be  approximately  $11  billion  in  2017,  growing  at  a  CAGR  of  5.7%  per  year  for  the  forecast  period  of  2017  through  2025.  Standalone  billing  and
practice  management  solutions  are  reported  to  be  declining  in  the  market  today  as  medical  practices  move  towards  integrated,  end-to-end  systems  that
incorporate front and back office data flows, provide seamless access to clinical data from EHRs, and streamline the entire revenue cycle management process.

Shift  in  focus  to  preventive  care.  In  an  effort  to  avoid  the  negative  health  effects  and  increased  costs  associated  with  undetected  and  untreated  chronic
conditions,  most  health  insurance  plans  provide  co-payment  and  deductible-free  coverage  for  preventive  health  services,  such  as  annual  well  visits.  Many
believe  that  this  shift  in  focus  will,  in  the  long-term,  reduce  costs  and  improve  patient  health.  Effective  preventative  health  services  require  access  to
comprehensive medical records that are readily available to primary care physicians and other physicians providing preventative healthcare.

Inaccessibility  of  critical  data. To  thrive  in  the  emerging  healthcare  landscape,  healthcare  practices  need  timely  information,  such  as  health  insurance  plan
eligibility and coverage details, provider performance and productivity data, as well as clinical and reimbursement benchmarking. However, we believe that most
small  and  medium  size  practices  do  not  have  access  to  this  type  of  real-time  data,  business  intelligence  and  analytical  tools  and  thus  struggle  to  efficiently
operate their practices and make optimal decisions.

Competition

The market for practice management, EHR and RCM information 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 practice management, EHR and RCM solutions, including competitors
who  utilize  a  web-based  platform  and  providers  of  locally  installed  software  systems.  Our  competitors  also  include  larger  healthcare  IT  companies,  such  as
athenahealth, Inc., Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., eClinicalWorks and Greenway Medical Technologies, Inc.

Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition and greater financial, marketing and other resources than MTBC. 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. 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.

Our Solution

We believe that our fully integrated solutions uniquely address the challenges in the industry. Our solutions dramatically simplify the complexities inherent in the
claim  reimbursement  process  and  thereby  deliver  objectively  superior  results,  such  as  reduced  claim  denial  rates,  improved  customer  days  in  accounts
receivable, reduced patient no-shows, increased well visit encounters and reimbursement. Our solutions empower our customers with the real-time data they
need to be efficient and make better decisions, such as real-time insurance eligibility and deductible details, provider productivity details and payer benchmarking.

Our  fully  integrated  suite  of  technology  and  business  service  solutions  is  designed  to  enable  healthcare  practices  to  thrive  in  the  midst  of  a  rapidly  changing
environment  in  which  managing  reimbursement,  clinical  workflows  and  day-to-day  administrative  tasks  are  becoming  increasingly  complex,  costly  and  time-
consuming. Moreover, in most cases the standard fee for our complete, integrated, end-to-end solution is based upon a percentage of a practice’s healthcare-
related revenues, with a monthly minimum fee, plus a nominal one-time setup fee, and is among the lowest in the industry.

Our Business Strategy

Our  objective  is  to  become  the  leading  provider  of  integrated,  end-to-end  SaaS  and  business  service  solutions  to  healthcare  providers  practicing  in  an
ambulatory setting. To achieve this objective, we employ the following strategies:

•

•

•

•

Provide comprehensive practice management, electronic health records, revenue cycle management and mobile health solutions to small and
medium size healthcare practices and hospitals.  We  believe  that  providers  are  in  need  of  an  integrated, end-to-end  solution,  such  as  the  solution
that MTBC provides, to manage the different facets of their businesses, from clinical documentation to claim submission and financial reporting.

Provide exceptional customer service. We realize that our success is tied directly to our customers’ success. Accordingly, a substantial portion of our
highly trained and educated workforce is devoted to customer service.

Leverage significant cost advantages provided by our technology and skilled offshore workforce. Our unique business model includes our web-
based software and a cost-effective offshore workforce primarily based in Pakistan. We believe that 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.

Pursue strategic  acquisitions.  Approximately  70%  of  our  current  practices  and  70%  of  our  current  year’s  revenue were  obtained  through  strategic
transactions with revenue cycle management companies. With most of our acquisition transactions, our goal is to retain the acquired customers over the
long-term and migrate those customers to our platform soon after closing.

healthcare  providers  a  unified  solution  designed  to  meet  the  healthcare  industry’s  demand  for  the  delivery  of  cost-efficient,  quality  care  with  measureable
outcomes. The four primary components of our proprietary web-based suite of services are: (i) practice management applications, (ii) a certified electronic health
records solution, (iii) revenue cycle management services, and (iv) mobile health applications.

Our flagship product, PracticePro®, provides our clients with a seamlessly integrated, end-to-end solution. Our web-based EHR is also available to customers as
a standalone product. We regularly update our software platform with the goal of staying on the leading edge of industry developments, payer reimbursements
trends and new regulations.

Web-based practice management application

Our  proprietary,  web-based  practice  management  application  automates  the  labor-intensive  workflow  of  a  medical  office  in  a  unified  and  streamlined  SaaS
platform. The various functions of the platform collectively support the entire workflow of the day-to-day operations of a medical office in an intuitive and user-
friendly  format.  For  example,  our  platform  provides  office  staff  with  real-time  insurance  details  to  allow  them  to  more  efficiently  collect  patient  payments;  its
automated appointment reminders reduce patient no-show rates, and scheduling functionality results in increased reimbursable patient well visit appointments. A
simple, individual and secure login to our web-based platform gives physicians, other healthcare providers and staff members’ access to a vast array of real time
practice management data which they can access at the office or from any other location where they can access the Internet. Users can customize the “Practice
Dashboard” to display only the most useful and relevant information needed to carry out their particular functions. We believe that this streamlined and centralized
automated workflow allows providers to focus on delivering quality patient care rather than office administration.

Electronic health records

Our web-based EHR solution has received ONC-ACB Health Information Technology certification. Moreover, in a previous study, KLAS, a leading independent
industry assessor of healthcare information technology products, issued its annual electronic health records ranking and MTBC’s legacy EHR placed fifth in our
target market of one to ten providers, outperforming most leading electronic health records. Our web-based EHR allows a provider to view all patient information
in one online location. Utilizing EHR, providers can track patients from their initial appointments; chart clinical data, history, and other personal information; enter
and submit claims for medical services; and review and respond to queries for additional information regarding the billing process. Additionally, the EHR software
delivers  a  robust  document  management  system  to  enable  providers  to  transition  to  paperless  environments.  The  document  management  function  makes
available electronic connectivity between practitioners and patients, thereby streamlining patient care coordination and communications. In 2015, we introduced a
tablet-based  EHR,  leveraging  our  web-based  platform  in  a  form  that  many  providers  find  more  convenient.  During  the  third  quarter  of  2017,  the  Company
introduced talkEHR™, a voice enabled EHR solution.

Revenue cycle management and other technology-driven business services

Our  proprietary  revenue  cycle  management  offering  is  designed  to  improve  the  medical  billing  reimbursement  process,  allowing  healthcare  providers  to
accelerate  and  increase  collections,  reduce  errors  in  submission  and  streamline  workflow  to  free  up  practitioners  to  focus  on  patient  care.  Customers  using
PracticePro® will generally see higher claims acceptance and resolution, and faster collections. Our revenue cycle management service employs a proprietary
rules-based system designed and constantly updated by our knowledgeable workforce, who screens and scrubs claims prior to submission for payment.

Mobile health solutions

The  functionality  of  our  cloud-based  platform  is  extended  to  mobile  devices  through  our  integrated  suite  of  mobile  health  applications.  These  mobile  health
applications include physician end-user tools that support, among other things, electronic prescribing, the capture of billing charges in the current medical coding
formats, and the creation and secure transfer of clinical audio notes that are converted into text and billing charges. In 2015, we introduced an ICD-10 mHealth
app for iOS and Android, which has emerged as the most popular ICD-10 app among U.S. healthcare providers. We also offer iCheckIn, a patient check-in app
for iOS and Android-based tablet devices. Our patient applications allow patients to access their medical information, securely communicate with their doctors’
office, schedule appointments, request prescription refills, pay balances and check-in for office appointments.

Practice management:

We  offer  comprehensive  practice  management  services  to  physicians  where  we  provide  the  medical  practice  with  appropriate  facilities,  equipment,  supplies,
support services and administrative support staff. We also provide management, bill-paying and financial advisory services. The Company’s fees are based on
the operating results of the practice.

Voting Rights of Our Directors, Executive Officers, and Principal Stockholders

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Acquisition Strategy

If we do not manage our growth effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.

Our strategy is to expand through the acquisition of additional RCM or healthcare IT companies and through organic growth. Since 2006, we have acquired the
assets of 19 RCM companies and entered into agreements with four additional RCM companies under which we service all of their customers, with 11 of these
transactions since we went public in July 2014. 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 may also require the integration of different software and services, assimilation
of new employees, diversion of management and IT resources, increases in administrative costs and other additional costs associated with any debt or equity
financings undertaken in connection with 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 retain customers following their acquisition, which may result in a decrease in our revenues and operating results.

Customers of the businesses we acquire usually 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 acquired 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 our acquisitions are typically structured as asset purchase agreements in which we attempt to limit our risk and exposure relative to the respective sellers’
liabilities, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in avoiding all liability. Creditors at times seek to hold us accountable for seller debt and customers at
times, attempt to hold us liable for seller breaches of contract prior to our transactions. Occasionally, disaffected shareholders of the businesses we acquire have
attempted  to  interfere  with  our  business  acquisitions.  We  attempt  to  minimize  all  of  these  risks  through  thorough  due  diligence,  negotiating  indemnities  and
holdbacks, obtaining relevant representations from sellers, and leveraging experienced professionals when appropriate.

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  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 businesses we acquire (e.g., RCM, practice management, EHR), 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.

In completing any future acquisitions, we will rely upon the representations and 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. 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.

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.

Risks Related to Our Business

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 practice management, EHR and RCM information 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 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,  Allscripts  Healthcare  Solutions,  Inc.  and  Greenway  Medical  Technologies,  Inc.,  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.

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 introduce new products and services accordingly. If we cannot
adapt to changing technologies and industry standards and meet the requirements of our customers, our products and services may become obsolete, and our
business would suffer. 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 or emerging industry standards, and, as a result, our business and reputation could 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. A failure by
us  to  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.

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  2,000  employees  in  Pakistan  and  Sri  Lanka.  Approximately  96%  of  our  offshore
employees are in Pakistan and our remaining employees are located at our smaller offshore operation center in Sri Lanka. The performance of our operations in
Pakistan, and our ability to maintain our offshore offices, is an essential element of our business model, as the labor costs in Pakistan 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 Pakistan are negatively impacted.

Pakistan  and  Sri  Lanka  have  experienced,  and  continue  to  experience,  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 a failing power grid and infrastructure, vandalism, currency fluctuations,
cost of labor and supplies, and changes in local law as well as laws within the United States relating to these countries. Client mandates or preferences for on-
shore service providers may also adversely impact our business model. Our operations in Pakistan and Sri Lanka 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 Pakistan,
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 Pakistan and Sri Lanka are approximately 10% 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.

Future changes in visa rules could prevent our offshore employees from entering the United States, which could decrease our efficiency.

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  we  bring  skilled  employees  from  our  offshore  subsidiaries  to  the  U.S.  to  serve  as  liaisons  on  projects  and  to  expand  the
respective employees’ understanding of both the U.S. healthcare industry and the needs and expectations of our customers. These visits equip them to better
understand  and  support  our  business  objectives.  While  the  current  administration’s  actions  up  to  this  point  have  not  had  an  impact  on  us,  we  cannot  predict
whether the administration may in the future take actions that would prevent non-U.S. employees from visiting the U.S. If such restrictions were implemented in
the future, it may become more difficult or expensive for us to educate and equip the employees of our foreign subsidiaries to support our business needs. We
may also have difficulty in finding employees and contractors in the U.S that can replace the functions now performed by our offshore employees that we bring
over to the U.S., which could negatively impact 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 (“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.

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.

The current administration and Congress have been critical of the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) and have taken steps toward materially revising or even repealing
it. On December 14, 2018 a federal judge in Texas ruled the ACA unconstitutional. The decision declared that key parts of the legislation were inconsistent with
the Constitution. The decision is still making its way through the courts and has not made an impact on the exchanges which are still open. As of now, there has
been  no  impact  to  the  2019  coverage  plans.  The  ACA  included  specific  reforms  for  the  individual  and  small  group  marketplace,  including  an  expansion  of
Medicaid.  We  can  give  no  assurances  that  healthcare  reform  initiatives  if  passed  will  not  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  operational  results  or  the
manner in which we operate our business.

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, 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 ACA;

• 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;

• actions by third-party payers of medical claims to reduce reimbursement;

• government regulations and government or other payer actions or inaction reducing or delaying reimbursement;

• interruption of customer access to our system; and

• our failure to provide services in a timely or high-quality manner.

We have incurred operating losses and net losses, and we may not be able to achieve or subsequently maintain profitability in the future.

We incurred net losses of approximately $2.1 million and $5.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our net loss for the years
ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017  include  approximately  $1.8  million  and  $3.4  million  of  non-cash  amortization  expense  of  purchased  intangible  assets,
respectively.

We may not succeed in achieving the efficiencies we anticipate from the Orion acquisition and possible future acquisitions, including moving sufficient labor to
our  offshore  locations  to  offset  increased  costs  resulting  from  these  acquisitions,  and  we  may  continue  to  incur  losses  in  future  periods.  We  expect  to  incur
additional operating expenses as a public company and we intend to continue to increase our operating expenses as we grow our business. We also expect to
continue  to  make  investments  in  our  proprietary  technology,  sales  and  marketing,  infrastructure,  facilities  and  other  resources  as  we  seek  to  grow,  thereby
incurring additional costs. If we are unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage our expenses, we may continue to incur losses in the future and
may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

Member participation in our Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) programs may be terminated with limited or no notice and without significant
termination payments. If our members reduce activity levels or terminate or elect not to renew their contracts, our revenue and results of operations
may decrease.

As part of the Orion acquisition, we acquired GPO program relationships. The GPO participation agreements are generally for an initial two-year term, and the
option to renew for additional one-year terms. The GPO participation agreements are generally terminable by either party by providing written notice to the other.

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  members  will  extend  or  renew  their  GPO  participation  agreements.  Failure  of  these  members  to  renew  their  GPO
participation agreements may have a small impact on our revenue and results of operations.

Our  success  in  retaining  member  participation  in  our  GPO  program  depends  upon  our  reputation,  strong  relationships  with  such  members  and  our  ability  to
deliver consistent, reliable and high quality products and services; a failure in any of these areas may result in the loss of members. In addition, members may
seek  to  reduce,  cancel  or  elect  not  to  renew  their  contracts  due  to  factors  that  are  beyond  our  control  and  are  unrelated  to  our  performance,  including  their
business or financial condition, changes in their strategies or business plans, their acquisition, or economic conditions in general. When contracts are reduced,
canceled or not renewed for any reason, we lose the anticipated future revenue associated with such contracts and consequently, our revenue and results of
operations may decrease.

We rely on the administrative fees we receive from our GPO suppliers, and the failure to maintain contracts with these GPO suppliers could have a
generally negative effect on our relationships with our members and could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We derive some of our revenue from the administrative fees that we receive from our GPO suppliers. We maintain contractual relationships with these suppliers
which provide products and services to our members at reduced costs and which pay us administrative fees based on the dollars spent by our members for such
products and services. Our contracts with these GPO suppliers generally may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice. A termination of any relationship or agreement
with a GPO supplier would result in the loss of administrative fees. In addition, if we lose a relationship with a GPO supplier we may not be able to negotiate
similar arrangements for our members and impact our ability to maintain our member agreements.

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,
although this period can be substantially longer. 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 customer’s 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.  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.

If we are required to collect sales and use taxes on the 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 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 imports or 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 us 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 determines 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.

If  we  lose  the  services  of  Mahmud  Haq  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, our Chief Executive
Officer and A. Hadi Chaudhry, our President. Mr. Haq is instrumental in managing our offshore operations in Pakistan 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  Pakistan,  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 trade secrets and other intellectual property rights.

Our success depends in part upon our ability to establish, protect and enforce our 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
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.

We have no patents pending and none issued, and primarily rely on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology. 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 management’s attention.

Claims by others that we infringe 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 party’s 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.

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 management’s 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.

Our proprietary software or service delivery 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 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.

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.

If our security measures are breached or fail and unauthorized access is obtained to a customer’s 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,
including patient health records, in the U.S. and offshore. 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. 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.  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  additional
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.  Achieving  and  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.

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.,  Pakistan  and  Sri
Lanka. 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 as 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.

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 Series A
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  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.

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.

Systems  failures  or  cyberattacks  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, 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.

Regulatory Risks

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  Office  of  Inspector  General  (“OIG”)  of  the  Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services  (“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.

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 after the most recent judicial decision in
December 2018, 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  (“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.

If we do not maintain the certification of our EHR solution pursuant to the HITECH 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  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. Such standards and implementation specifications that are being
developed under the HITECH Act includes named standards, architectures, and software schemes for the authentication and security of individually identifiable
health information and the creation of common solutions across disparate entities.

The HITECH Act’s certification requirements 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 solution has
been  certified  as  a  complete  EHR  by  ICSA  Labs,  a  non-governmental,  independent  certifying  body.  We  must  ensure  that  our  EHR  solutions  continue  to  be
certified according to applicable HITECH Act technical standards so that our customers qualify for any “meaningful use” incentive payments and are not subject
to penalties for non-compliance. Failure to maintain this certification under the HITECH 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 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  HIPAA’s  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 attorney’s general to enforce HIPAA.

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  Act’s  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.

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.

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 introduction of new products and service more
costly  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

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. 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;

government or commercial healthcare reimbursement policies;

physician and patient acceptance of any of our current or future products;

introduction of competing products;

our operating expenses which fluctuate due to growth of our business;

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.

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 stockholders sell, or the market perceives that
our stockholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

Mahmud  Haq  currently  controls  42.8%  of  our  outstanding  shares  of  common  stock,  which  will  prevent  investors  from  influencing  significant
corporate decisions.

Mahmud  Haq,  our  founder  and  Executive  Chairman,  beneficially  owns  42.8%  of  our  outstanding  shares  of  common  stock.  As  a  result,  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 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 Series A 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  4,000,000  shares  of  preferred  stock  and  to  determine  the  price,  privileges  and  other  terms  of  these
shares, of which 2,136,289 shares have been issued as of December 31, 2018. 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.

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
stockholder’s 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  and  particularly  after  we  cease  to  be  an  “emerging  growth  company,”  at  the  end  of  this  year,  we  continue  to  incur  significant  legal,
accounting, and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market impose
various  requirements  on  public  companies,  including  requiring  changes  in  corporate  governance  practices.  Our  management  and  other  personnel  devote  a
substantial  amount  of  time  to  these  compliance  initiatives.  Moreover,  these  rules  and  regulations  have  increased  and  will  continue  to  increase  our  legal,
accounting, and financial compliance costs and have made and will continue to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules
and  regulations  make  it  more  difficult  and  more  expensive  for  us  to  obtain  director  and  officer  liability  insurance,  and  we  may  be  required  to  accept  reduced
policy limits and coverage or to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for
us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors or our board committees or as executive officers.

In addition, 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. In particular, for the year ended December 31, 2018, we performed system and process
evaluation  and  testing  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  to  allow  management  to  report  on  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial
reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404. As an “emerging growth company” at the end of this year, we elected to avail
ourselves of the exemption from the requirement that our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial  reporting  under  Section  404  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act.  However,  we  may  no  longer  avail  ourselves  of  this  exemption  when  we  cease  to  be  an
“emerging growth company” and, when our independent registered public accounting firm is required to undertake an assessment of our internal control over
financial reporting, the cost of our compliance with Section 404 will correspondingly increase. 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  deficiency(ies)  in  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  that  are  deemed  to  be  material
weakness(es),  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.

The JOBS Act allows us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations and to reduce the amount of information
provided in reports filed with the SEC. We cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will
make our Common and Series A Preferred Stock less attractive to investors.

We are and will remain an “emerging growth company” until December 31 of this year, or sooner upon the unlikely event that, before such date, (i) we have
issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt, or (ii) we are deemed a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from
various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being
required  to  comply  with  the  auditor  attestation  requirements  of  Section  404  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act,  reduced  disclosure  obligations  regarding  executive
compensation  in  our  periodic  reports  and  proxy  statements,  and  exemptions  from  the  requirements  of  holding  a  non-binding  advisory  vote  on  executive
compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Under  the  JOBS  Act,  emerging  growth  companies  can  also  delay  adopting  new  or  revised  accounting  standards  until  such  time  as  those  standards  apply  to
private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption and, will therefore be subject to the same new or revised accounting
standards at the same time as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We cannot predict if investors will find our Common and Series A Preferred Stock less attractive because we rely on some of the exemptions available to us
under the JOBS Act. If some investors find our Common and Series A Preferred Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for
our  Common  and  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  and  our  respective  stock  prices  may  be  more  volatile.  If  we  avail  ourselves  of  certain  exemptions  from  various
reporting  requirements,  our  reduced  disclosure  may  make  it  more  difficult  for  investors  and  securities  analysts  to  evaluate  us  and  may  result  in  less  investor
confidence.

Risks Related to Ownership of Shares of Our Preferred Stock

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities.

In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, our assets will be available to pay obligations on the Series A Preferred Stock
only after all of our indebtedness and other liabilities have been paid. The rights of holders of the Series A 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
Series A Preferred Stock. Also, the Series A 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  Series  A  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 Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. We may in the future incur debt
and other obligations that will rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. At December 31, 2018, our total liabilities (excluding contingent consideration) equaled
approximately $8.2 million.

Certain of our existing or future debt instruments may restrict the authorization, payment or setting apart of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Our Credit
Agreement  with  Silicon  Valley  Bank  (“SVB”)  restricts  the  payment  of  dividends  in  the  event  of  any  event  of  default,  including  failure  to  meet  certain  financial
covenants. There can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with the SVB Credit Agreement, and if we default, we may be contractually prohibited
from  paying  dividends  on  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock.  Also,  future  offerings  of  debt  or  senior  equity  securities  may  adversely  affect  the  market  price  of  the
Series A 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  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  and  may  result  in  dilution  to  owners  of  the  Series  A
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 Series A Preferred Stock will bear the risk of our future offerings, which may reduce the market price of the
Series A Preferred Stock and will dilute the value of their holdings in us.

We may not be able to pay dividends on the Series A 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 Series A Preferred Stock requires us to have either net profits or positive net assets (total assets less total liabilities)
over our capital, 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,  SVB,  which  include,  among  other  things,  generating  adjusted  EBITDA  and  complying  with  a
minimum liquidity ratio. If we fall out of compliance, our lender may exercise any of its rights and remedies under the loan agreement, including restricting us
from making dividend payments.

Further, notwithstanding these factors, we may not have sufficient cash to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Our ability to pay dividends may 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 SVB, 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. 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 distributions on our common stock, if any, and
preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.

The market for our Series A Preferred Stock may not provide investors with adequate liquidity.

Our Series A Preferred Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the trading market for the Series A Preferred Stock may not be maintained and
may  not  provide  investors  with  adequate  liquidity.  The  liquidity  of  the  market  for  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  depends  on  a  number  of  factors,  including
prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and operating results, the number of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the market for similar securities and
the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the Series A Preferred Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our Company will
maintain the trading market in our Series A Preferred Stock, or how liquid that market will be. If an active market is not maintained, investors may have difficulty
selling shares of our Series A Preferred Stock.

We may issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that rank on parity with the Series A Preferred
Stock as to dividend rights, rights upon liquidation or voting rights.

We are allowed to issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that would rank equal to or below the Series A
Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs pursuant to our articles of incorporation and the
articles of amendment relating to the Series A Preferred Stock without any vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A 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 Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs pursuant to our articles of
incorporation and the articles of amendment relating to the Series A Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and additional
series  of  preferred  stock  could  have  the  effect  of  reducing  the  amounts  available  to  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  upon  our  liquidation  or  dissolution  or  the
winding up of our affairs. It also may reduce dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock if we do not have sufficient funds to pay dividends on all Series
A Preferred Stock outstanding and other classes or series of stock with equal priority with respect to dividends.

Also,  although  holders  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  are  entitled  to  limited  voting  rights  with  respect  to  the  circumstances  under  which  the  holders  of  Series  A
Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Series A 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 Series A 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.

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 Series A 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 A Preferred Stock.

One of the factors that influences the price of the Series A Preferred Stock is the dividend yield on the Series A Preferred Stock (as a percentage of the market
price of the Series A Preferred Stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates, which have recently exhibited heightened volatility but
have generally been at low levels relative to historical rates, may lead prospective purchasers of the Series A 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 A Preferred Stock to materially decrease.

Holders of the Series A 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 A Preferred Stock may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, and distributions paid to non-
corporate U.S. holders of the Series A 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 significant accumulated earnings and
profits.  Additionally,  we  may  not  have  sufficient  current  earnings  and  profits  during  future  fiscal  years  for  the  distributions  on  the  Series  A  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 A 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 A Preferred Stock might decline.

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 Series A Preferred Stock to decline.

Variations in our quarterly and year-end operating results are difficult to predict and our income and cash flow may fluctuate significantly from period to period,
which may impact our Board of Directors’ willingness or legal ability to declare a monthly dividend. If our operating results fall below the expectations of investors
or securities analysts, the price of our Series A Preferred Stock could decline substantially. Specific factors that may cause fluctuations in our operating results
include:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

demand and pricing for our products and services;

government or commercial healthcare reimbursement policies;

physician and patient acceptance of any of our current or future products;

introduction of competing products;

our operating expenses which fluctuate due to growth of our business;

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.

Our Series A Preferred Stock has not been rated.

We  have  not  sought  to  obtain  a  rating  for  the  Series  A  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 A Preferred Stock. Also,
we  may  elect  in  the  future  to  obtain  a  rating  for  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  market  price  of  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock.
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 on a watch list
or withdrawal of a rating could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock.

We may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.

On or after November 4, 2020, we may, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time. Also, upon the
occurrence of a change of control, we may, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which
such  change  of  control  occurred.  We  may  have  an  incentive  to  redeem  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  voluntarily  if  market  conditions  allow  us  to  issue  other
preferred stock or debt securities at a rate that is lower than the dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock. If we redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, then from
and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be
deemed  outstanding  and  all  rights  as  a  holder  of  those  shares  will  terminate,  except  the  right  to  receive  the  redemption  price  plus  accumulated  and  unpaid
dividends, if any, payable upon redemption.

The market price of our Series A Preferred Stock is variable and could be substantially affected by various factors.

The market price of our Series A Preferred Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited
to, the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

prevailing interest rates, increases in which may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock;

trading prices of similar securities;

our history of timely dividend payments;

the annual yield from dividends on the Series A 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.

A holder of Series A Preferred Stock has extremely limited voting rights.

The voting rights for a holder of Series A 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 owns approximately 43% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, 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 A
Preferred Stock.

Voting rights for holders of the Series A 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  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  are  in  arrears,  and  with  respect  to  voting  on  amendments  to  our  articles  of
incorporation or articles of amendment relating to the Series A Preferred Stock that materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock  or  authorize,  increase  or  create  additional  classes  or  series  of  our  capital  stock  that  are  senior  to  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock.  Other  than  the  limited
circumstances and except to the extent required by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights.

The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible, and investors will not realize a corresponding upside if the price of the common stock increases.

The  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  is  not  convertible  into  the  common  stock  and  earns  dividends  at  a  fixed  rate.  Accordingly,  an  increase  in  market  price  of  our
common stock will not necessarily result in an increase in the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock. The market value of the Series A 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 A Preferred Stock.

Item 2. Properties

Our corporate headquarters are located at 7 Clyde Road, Somerset, New Jersey 08873 where we occupy approximately 2,400 square feet of space under a
month-to-month  lease.  Additionally,  we  lease  approximately  31,000  square  feet  of  office  space  in  approximately  10  locations  throughout  the  U.S.,  with  lease
terms that are typically two years or less, as well as approximately 33,000 square feet for five pediatric offices in the Midwest, with leases that will expire between
December, 2020 and July, 2023.

We also lease approximately 48,000 square feet of office space and computer server facilities in Islamabad, Pakistan, which lease expires in 2021, as well as
approximately 33,000 square feet in Bagh, Pakistan, with an annually renewable lease. The Company also leases office space in Sri Lanka, which lease expires
in March of 2019. This lease will be renewed for an additional year at expiration.

The Company also leases computer co-location facilities and apartment space in several additional U.S. cities under short-term leases, however, these leases
are not significant. We believe our current facilities are adequate for our current needs and that suitable additional space will be available as and when needed.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

As described in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on August 8,
2018, and November 7, 2018, respectively, on May 30, 2018, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Somerset Country (the “Chancery Court”)
denied  the  Company’s  and  MTBC  Acquisition  Corp.’s  (“MAC”)  request  to  enjoin  an  arbitration  proceeding  demanded  by  Randolph  Pain  Relief  and  Wellness
Center  (“RPWC”)  related  to  RCM  services  provided  by  parties  unaffiliated  with  the  Company  and  MAC.  On  June  15,  2018,  the  Company  and  MAC  filed  an
appeal  of  the  Chancery  Court’s  decision  with  the  New  Jersey  Superior  Court,  Appellate  Division.  On  July  19,  2018,  the  Chancery  Court  ordered  that  the
arbitration be stayed pending the Company’s and MAC’s appeal. The demand for arbitration alleges breach of a billing services agreement between RPWC and
Millennium  Practice  Management  Associates,  Inc.,  a  subsidiary  of  MediGain,  LLC,  and  seeks  compensatory  damages  and  costs.  The  Company  and  MAC
contend  they  were  never  party  to  the  billing  services  agreement  giving  rise  to  the  arbitration  claim,  did  not  assume  the  obligations  of  Millennium  Practice
Management Associates under such agreement, and any agreement to arbitrate disputes arising under such agreement does not apply to the Company or MAC.
While the allegations of breach of contract made by RPWC have not been the subject of ongoing legal proceedings, the Company and MAC believe that such
allegations lack merit on numerous grounds. On January 30, 2019, the parties conducted oral arguments before the Appellate Court. The Company and MAC’s
appeal remains pending.

From time to time, we may become involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Including the proceeding 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, operating results, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

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

To  provide  investors  with  additional  insight  and  allow  for  a  more  comprehensive  understanding  of  the  information  used  by  management  in  its  financial  and
operational  decision-making,  we  supplement  our  consolidated  financial  statements  presented  on  a  basis  consistent  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting
principles,  or  GAAP,  with  adjusted  EBITDA,  a  non-GAAP  financial  measure  of  earnings.  Adjusted  EBITDA  represents  net  income  (loss)  before  income  tax
expense, interest income, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, integration, transaction and restructuring costs and change in contingent consideration.
Our  management  uses  adjusted  EBITDA  as  a  financial  measure  to  evaluate  the  profitability  and  efficiency  of  our  business  model.  We  use  this  non-GAAP
financial measure to assess the strength of the underlying operations of our business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measure that is derived
from  them,  provide  supplemental  information  to  analyze  our  operations  between  periods  and  over  time.  Investors  should  consider  our  non-GAAP  financial
measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table contains a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and other factors
that are expected to affect our prospective financial condition. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Some of the statements set forth in this section are forward-looking statements relating to our future results of operations. Our actual results may vary from the
results anticipated by these statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

The  Company  is  a  healthcare  information  technology  company  that  provides  a  suite  of  proprietary  web-based  solutions  and  business  services  to  healthcare
providers.  Our  integrated  Software-as-a-Service  (“SaaS”)  platform  and  business  services  are  designed  to  help  our  clients  increase  revenues,  streamline
workflows and make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. These solutions and services include:

Healthcare IT:

•

Revenue cycle management (“RCM”) services;

Proprietary, healthcare IT solutions, which is part of our RCM services, including:

Electronic health records,
Practice management software and related tools,
Mobile Health (“mHealth”) solutions,
Healthcare claims clearinghouse, and
Business intelligence, customized applications, interfaces and a variety of other technology solutions that support our healthcare clients.

• Group purchasing services.

Practice Management:

•

Comprehensive practice management services.

Our  offshore  operations  in  Pakistan  and  Sri  Lanka  together  accounted  for  approximately  22%  and  29%  of  total  expenses  for  the  years  ended  December  31,
2018 and 2017, respectively. A significant portion of those expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 79% and 78% of foreign costs for the years
ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017).  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 investor’s understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these adjusted performance
measures.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following elements which are included in GAAP net income (loss):

•
•
•
•
•
•

•

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

For purposes of determining non-GAAP adjusted net income per share, the Company used the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the years
December 31, 2018 and 2017. Non-GAAP adjusted net income per share does not take into account dividends paid on preferred stock. No tax effect has been
provided in computing non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per common share as the Company has sufficient carry forward net
operating losses to offset the applicable income taxes.

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, 2018, we provided services to approximately 10,000 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses,
nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 1,800 practices. In addition, we
served approximately 200 clients who were not medical practices, but are service organizations who serve the healthcare community. As of December 31, 2017,
we served approximately 3,500 providers representing approximately 750 practices.

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 2018 and 2017 were 89% and 90%,
respectively. The renewal rates for our customers who are also users of our EHR for 2018 and 2017 were 91% and 98%, respectively. The percentage of our
revenue generated during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 which came from all users of our EHR was 21% and 32%, respectively.

Sources of Revenue

Revenue: We primarily derive our revenues from revenue cycle management services, typically billed as a percentage of payments collected by our customers.
This  fee  includes  RCM,  as  well  as  the  ability  to  use  our  EHR  and  practice  management  software  as  part  of  the  bundled  fee.  These  payments  accounted  for
approximately  76%  and  89%  of  our  revenues  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  respectively.  This  includes  customers  utilizing  our
proprietary product suite, PracticePro®, as well as customers from acquisitions 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.  We  also
generate revenue from our practice management and group purchasing services which began in July 2018 as a result of the Orion acquisition. Revenue is also
generated from transcription, coding, indexing and other ancillary services. By the end of 2018, we moved approximately 57% of the medical billing customers
from prior years’ acquisitions that were on other platforms to our operating platform.

We earned approximately 7% and 10% of our revenue from printing and mailing operations, clearinghouse, EDI services and ancillary RCM services during the
years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We earned approximately 1% of our revenue from group purchasing services during the same period.
We began providing practice management services and group purchasing services on July 1, 2018.

We  also  earned  approximately  13%  of  our  revenue  from  practice  management  services,  including  reimbursement  of  certain  costs  plus  a  percentage  of  the
operating profit, during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Operating Expenses

Direct  Operating  Costs. Direct  operating  costs  consist  primarily  of  salaries  and  benefits  related  to  personnel  who  provide  services  to  our  customers  and  the
patients  of  the  three  managed  medical  practices,  claims  processing  costs,  and  other  direct  costs  related  to  our  services.  Costs  associated  with  the
implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which
are broken out separately in the consolidated statements of operations. Our Pakistan and Sri Lanka operations accounted for approximately 22% and 37% of
direct operating costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

Research  and  Development  Expense.  Research  and  development  expense  consists  primarily  of  personnel-related  costs  and  third-party  contractor  costs.
Because we incorporate our technology into our services as soon as technological feasibility is established, most costs are currently expensed as incurred. We
expect our research and development expense to increase in the future in absolute terms, but decrease as a percentage of revenue. Consistent with our growth
plans, we are hiring developers, analysts and project managers in an effort to streamline our operational processes and further develop our products.

General  and  Administrative  Expense.  General  and  administrative  expense  consists  primarily  of  personnel-related  expense  for  administrative  employees,
including  compensation,  benefits,  travel,  occupancy  and  insurance,  software  license  fees  and  outside  professional  fees.  Our  Pakistan  and  Sri  Lanka  offices
accounted for approximately 20% and 28% of general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Contingent  Consideration. Contingent  consideration  represents  the  portion  of  consideration  payable  to  the  sellers  of  some  of  our  acquisitions,  the  amount  of
which  is  based  on  the  achievement  of  defined  performance  measures  contained  in  the  purchase  agreements.  For  acquisitions  completed  in  2015  and  2016,
contingent  consideration  consists  solely  of  cash.  For  an  acquisition  completed  in  2014,  contingent  consideration  included  the  Company’s  common  stock,
however, this obligation was settled and satisfied in 2017. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

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 practice management clients is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of twelve years.

Interest and Other Income (Expense).  Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our working capital line of credit, previous term loans and
amounts  due  in  connection  with  acquisitions,  offset  by  interest  income.  Our  other  income  (expense)  results  primarily  from  foreign  currency  transaction  gains
(losses), and amounted to a foreign exchange gain of $435,000 and $249,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income Tax. 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 is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred losses
historically and there is uncertainty regarding future US 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

On  December  22,  2017,  the  Tax  Cuts  and  Jobs  Act  (the  “Act”)  was  enacted.  Effective  January  1,  2018,  among  other  changes,  the  Act  (a)  reduces  the  U.S.
federal corporate tax rate to 21%, provides for a deemed repatriation and taxation at reduced rates on historical earnings of certain non-US subsidiaries owned
by U.S. companies and establishes new mechanisms to tax such earnings going forward. Effective January 1, 2018 there is a 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 elected to record 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.  As  a  result  of  our  adoption  of  the  new
revenue  recognition  standard  on  January  1,  2018,  we  re-assessed  the  estimates,  assumptions,  and  judgments  that  are  most  critical  in  our  recognition  of
revenue.

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 and group purchasing revenue. 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. To measure group purchasing services revenue, we need to estimate the number of providers purchasing vaccines and the amount and
timing of those purchases. 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  seven  primary  sources:  revenue  cycle  management  services,
practice management services, professional services, ancillary services, group purchasing services, printing and mailing services, and clearinghouse and EDI
(electronic data interchange) 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.

Revenue cycle management 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. MTBC 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
software-as-a-service (“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.

Group purchasing services:

We estimate the variable consideration which we expect to be entitled to for the group purchasing services based upon anticipated shipments to the medical
providers enrolled in the program, seasonality and the changes in the number of providers. The estimate of variable consideration includes adjusting historical
data for anticipated changes from prior periods. When reviewing our estimates, in order to ensure that our estimates do not pose a risk of significantly overstating
our revenue in any reporting period, we will apply constraints, when appropriate, to certain estimates around our variable consideration. Variable consideration
estimates are updated at each reporting period.

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 on the consolidated balance sheet.

Contingent Consideration:

If  a  business  combination  provides  for  contingent  consideration,  the  Company  records  the  contingent  consideration  at  fair  value  at  the  acquisition  date.  The
Company adjusts the contingent consideration liability at the end of each reporting period based on fair value inputs representing changes in forecasted revenue
of  the  acquired  entities  and  the  probability  of  an  adjustment  to  the  purchase  price.  Critical  estimates  include  determining  the  forecasted  revenue  for  certain
acquisitions,  probability  and  timing  of  cash  collections  and  an  appropriate  discount  rate.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  after  the
acquisition date are included in earnings if the contingent consideration is recorded as a liability.

Goodwill Impairment:

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually as of October 31 st, referred to as the annual test date. The Company will also test 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 Practice
Management).  Application  of  the  goodwill  impairment  test  requires  judgment  including  the  use  of  a  discounted  cash  flow  and  market  approach  methodology.
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, 2018 or 2017.

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 participant’s 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 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.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide an allowance for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful.
If necessary, provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding receivables. In determining the provision, we analyze our historical
collection experience, the aging of our accounts receivable, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends. We reassess this allowance each reporting
period. If actual payment experience with our customers is different than our estimates, adjustments to this allowance may be necessary resulting in additional
charges to our statement of operations.

Direct  Operating  Costs. Direct operating costs of $31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by $13.6 million or 77% from direct operating
costs  of  $17.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017.  Salary  costs  increased  by  $6.9  million  as  a  result  of  the  Orion  acquisition.  Medical  supplies
increased by $2.9 million as a result of the addition of the managed practices. Outsourcing and other customer processing costs increased by $2.3 million, facility
costs increased by $721,000 and postage and delivery costs increased by $244,000.  

Selling  and  Marketing  Expense.  Selling  and  marketing  expense  of  $1.6  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  increased  by  $505,000  or  46%  from
selling and marketing expense of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase represented additional spending on selling and marketing
activities.

General  and  Administrative  Expense.  General  and  administrative  expense  of  $16.3  million  increased  by  $4.5  million  or  39%  from  general  and  administrative
expense  of  $11.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017.  Salary  costs  increased  by  $2.7  million  as  a  result  of  the  Orion  acquisition  and  stock
compensation expense. Legal and professional fees increased by $1.1 million as a result of the Orion acquisition and other corporate matters.

Research and Development Expense.  Research and development expense of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased by $52,000 or 5%
from research and development expense of $1.1 million in the prior year.

Contingent  Consideration. The  change  in  contingent  consideration  of  $73,000  and  $151,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  respectively,
relates  to  the  change  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration.  The  losses  in  2018  resulted  primarily  from  changes  in  the  revenue  estimates  for  the
acquisitions made in 2015 and 2016. The loss in 2017 resulted from an increase in the price of the Company’s common stock for the shares held in escrow from
the acquisition of Practicare Medical Management in 2014.

Depreciation. Depreciation of $688,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by $54,000 or 8% from depreciation of $634,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of additional property and equipment purchases and the property and equipment obtained from the Orion acquisition.

Amortization  Expense. Amortization  expense  of  $2.2  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  decreased  by  $1.5  million  or  41%  from  amortization
expense of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease is due to the intangible assets acquired in the 2014 acquisitions becoming fully
amortized during 2017, net of the additional amortization resulting from the Orion acquisition.

Restructuring  Charges. Restructuring  charges  primarily  represent  employee  severance  costs,  remaining  lease  and  termination  fees,  disposal  of  property  and
equipment and professional fees associated with the closing of the operations in India and Poland in 2017. There were no similar costs incurred in 2018.

Interest Income. Interest income of $101,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by $84,000 or 495% from interest income of $17,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2017. Interest income primarily represents interest earned on temporary cash investments and late fees from customers.

Interest Expense. Interest expense of $351,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased by $973,000 or 73% from interest expense of $1.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease was primarily due to interest costs incurred in 2017 on borrowings under our line of credit and term loans and
amounts related to the MediGain transaction which were repaid during 2017. Interest expense also includes the amortization of deferred financing costs which
were $191,000 and $722,000 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Other Income - net.  Other income - net was $494,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to other income - net of $332,000 for the year ended
December  31,  2017.  Included  in  other  income  -  net  are  foreign  currency  transaction  gains  (losses)  primarily  resulting  from  transactions  in  foreign  currencies
other  than  the  functional  currency.  These  transaction  gains  and  losses  are  recorded  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations  related  to  the  recurring
measurement and settlement of such transactions.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision.  There was a $157,000 benefit for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to the provision for income
taxes of $68,000 for the year ended December 30, 2017. Included in the tax provisions for the year ended December 31, 2018 is a $208,000 deferred income
tax benefit. As a result of the Company forecasting a tax loss for 2018, which has an indefinite life under the recent tax reform legislation, the federal deferred tax
liability was offset against the 2018 federal net operating loss to the extent allowable.

The current income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $50,000 and $41,000, respectively and primarily relates to
state  minimum  taxes  and  foreign  income  taxes.  The  pre-tax  loss  was  $2.3  million  and  $5.5  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017,
respectively.  Although  the  Company  is  forecasting  a  return  to  profitability,  it  incurred  losses  historically  and  there  is  uncertainty  regarding  future  US  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, 2018 and 2017.

The Company has recorded goodwill as a result of its acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes. However, goodwill is tax deductible
and therefore amortized over 15 years for tax purposes. As such, deferred income tax expense and a deferred tax liability arise as a result of the tax-deductibility
of this indefinitely lived asset. The resulting deferred tax liability, which is expected to continue to be recorded over the amortization period, will have an indefinite
life. As a result of the Company incurring a tax loss for 2018 which has an indefinite life under the recent tax reform legislation, the federal deferred tax liability
resulting from the amortization of goodwill was offset against the 2018 federal operating net loss, to the extent allowable.

The  remaining  deferred  tax  liability  could  remain  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  balance  sheet  indefinitely  unless  there  is  an  impairment  of  goodwill  (for
financial reporting purposes) or a portion of the business is sold.

Since  the  aforementioned  deferred  tax  liability  could  have  an  indefinite  life,  it  is  not  netted  against  the  Company’s  deferred  tax  assets  when  determining  the
required valuation allowance. Doing so would result in the understatement of the valuation allowance and related deferred income tax expense.

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. While our plan is to be profitable in the future and begin utilizing these deferred tax assets, there is not sufficient evidence to allow us to avoid
the full valuation allowance in 2018 and 2017. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and an income
tax benefit for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of
the timing and level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

The Company has a federal NOL carry forward of approximately $18.0 million of which approximately $15.8 million will expire between 2034 and 2037 and the
balance  has  an  indefinite  life.  The  Company  has  state  NOL  carry  forwards  of  approximately  $34.9  million,  of  which  $17.6  million  relates  to  the  State  of  New
Jersey. These NOLs expire between 2034 to 2038.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year ended December 31, 2018, there was positive cash flow from operations of approximately $6.8 million and at year-end the Company had $14.5
million in cash, positive working capital of $17.9 million and no bank debt. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, cash flow provided by operations
was $2.1 million. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company paid the remainder of the purchase price of $11.6 million for the Orion acquisition in cash. The
Company occasionally utilizes its revolving line of credit with SVB, but, as of December 31, 2018, there was no balance outstanding. SVB doubled the maximum
availability on the line from $5 million to $10 million during September 2018. During April 2018, the Company sold 420,000 shares of Preferred Stock and raised
net  proceeds  of  approximately  $9.4  million.  During  October  2018,  the  Company  sold  600,000  additional  shares  of  its  Preferred  Stock  raising  net  proceeds  of
approximately $13.4 million. During 2017, the Company raised $16.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of Preferred Stock and $2.0 million from the sale of
common stock.

During October 2017, the Company repaid and closed its Opus credit facility and replaced it with a revolving line of credit with SVB. As of December 31, 2018,
the Company was in compliance with all the covenants contained in the SVB credit agreement.

In  October  2016  the  Company  made  an  initial  $2  million  payment  toward  the  MediGain  acquisition,  which  had  a  total  purchase  price  of  $7  million,  and  the
remaining $5 million, plus interest, was paid during the third quarter of 2017.

The Company had a major turning point in liquidity during 2017, starting the year with $3.5 million in cash, $9.3 million of bank debt, a working capital deficit of
$7.4 million and negative cash flows from operations of $889,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. In 2017, the Company generated $282,000 of positive
cash  flow  from  operations  as  the  Company  completed  the  integration  of  its  2016  acquisitions  and  ended  the  year  with  $4.4  million  in  cash,  positive  working
capital of $4.6 million and no bank debt.

loss before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $5.5 million, of which $4.3 million was non-cash depreciation and amortization.

Management continues to focus on the Company’s overall profitability, including growing revenue and managing expenses, and expects that these efforts will
continue to enhance our liquidity and financial position. Based on management’s forecasts, the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as
they become due for the next twelve months from the date of financial statement issuance.

compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, and expenses increased by $16.8 million for the same period primarily due to the acquisition of Orion in the

Cash generated by the reduction of accounts receivable was $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared with a reduction of $42,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2017. This excludes the acquired accounts receivable as part of the Orion acquisition. Accounts payable, accrued compensation and

year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was due to the acquisition of Orion.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $17.7 million, compared to $1.8 million in the year ended December 31,
2017.  Cash  provided  by  financing  activities  during  2018  includes  $22.8  million  of  net  proceeds  from  issuing  1,020,000  shares  of  Preferred  Stock,  offset  by
$464,000  of  repayments  for  debt  obligations,  and  $4.1  million  of  preferred  stock  dividends.  Cash  provided  by  financing  activities  during  the  year  ended
December 31, 2017 includes $16.5 million of net proceeds from issuing approximately 765,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $2.0 million raised from issuing one
million shares of common stock, offset by $7.7 million of repayments for debt obligations, a $5 million payment to Prudential for the acquisition of MediGain and
$1.5 million of preferred stock dividends. Average borrowings from our revolving line of credit were $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared
to $219,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

During October 2017, the Company replaced its Opus credit facility with a $5 million revolving line of credit from SVB. During the third quarter of 2018, the credit
line was increased from $5 million to $10 million and the term was extended for an additional year. As of December 31, 2018, there were no amounts drawn on
the line.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We have contractual obligations under our line of credit and those related to contingent consideration in connection with the acquisitions made in 2015 and 2016.
We also maintain operating leases for property and certain office equipment. We were in compliance with all SVB covenants in 2018.

The following table presents certain payments due by the Company under our long-term contractual obligations with minimum firm commitments as of December
31, 2018. In addition, based on the interest-bearing obligations as of December 31, 2018, we expect interest expense to be approximately $19,000 during the
years below. This excludes the amortization of bank financing costs which is recorded as interest expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as
structured  finance  or  special-purpose  entities,  which  would  have  been  established  for  the  purpose  of  facilitating  off-balance  sheet  arrangements  or  other
contractually  narrow  or  limited  purposes.  Other  than  our  operating  leases  for  office  space,  computer  equipment  and  other  property,  we  do  not  engage  in  off-
balance sheet financing arrangements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Regulation S-K.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on the 2013 framework and criteria established by the
Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (“COSO”),  evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  as  of
December 31, 2018 as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-
15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

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

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in 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 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.

Our  management  has  performed  its  assessment  according  to  the  guidelines  established  by  COSO.  Management  excluded  from  its  assessment  of  internal
control over financial reporting of Orion, the most recent acquisition, as it was not possible to conduct an assessment of the acquired business’s internal control
over financial reporting in the period between the commencement date and the date of management’s assessment. During 2018, the revenue recorded by the
Company for Orion was approximately $17.8 million. Based on the assessment, management has concluded that our system of internal control over financial
reporting, as of December 31, 2018, is effective.

Because of its inherent limitations, our internal controls over financial reporting provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the financial statements and
footnotes  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.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s  report  was  not  subject  to  attestation  by  the  Company’s  registered  public  accounting  firm  pursuant  to  the  rules  of  the  SEC  that  permit  the
Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Beginning January 1, 2018, we implemented ASC 606, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ” For its adoption, we implemented changes to our revenue
recognition processes and control activities within them such as development of new entity-wide policies, in-house training, ongoing contract reviews and system
changes to accommodate presentation and disclosure requirements. During the most recent fiscal quarter, we continued to add processes and controls for the
additional revenue streams acquired, particularly related to the practice management and group purchasing services. We are evaluating additional processes
and controls that may be required related to the Orion acquisition.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31,
2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders
MTBC, Inc.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MTBC, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2018  and  2017,  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  comprehensive  loss,  shareholders’  equity  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  two  years  in  the
period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for opinion

These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s  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 Company’s 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 supporting 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.

/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

MTBC,  Inc.,  formerly  known  as  Medical  Transcription  Billing,  Corp.  (and  together  with  its  subsidiaries  “MTBC”  or  the  “Company”)  is  a  healthcare  information
technology company that offers an integrated suite of proprietary cloud-based electronic health records and practice management solutions, together with related
business  services,  to  healthcare  providers.  The  Company’s  integrated  services  are  designed  to  help  customers  increase  revenues,  streamline  workflows  and
make better business and clinical decisions, while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. The Company’s services include full-scale revenue cycle
management, comprehensive practice management services, electronic health records, and other technology-driven practice management services for private
and hospital-employed healthcare providers. MTBC has its corporate offices in Somerset, New Jersey and maintains client support teams throughout the U.S., in
Pakistan and in Sri Lanka.

MTBC was founded in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2001. In 2004, MTBC formed MTBC Private Limited (or “MTBC Pvt.
Ltd.”),  a  99.9%  majority-owned  subsidiary  of  MTBC  based  in  Pakistan.  The  remaining  0.01%  of  the  shares  of  MTBC  Pvt.  Ltd.  is  owned  by  the  founder  and
Executive  Chairman  of  MTBC.  In  2016,  MTBC  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 has a wholly
owned  subsidiary  in  Sri  Lanka,  RCM  MediGain  Colombo,  Pvt.  Ltd.  In  May  2018,  MTBC  formed  MTBC  Health,  Inc.  (“MHI”)  and  MTBC  Practice  Management,
Corp. (“MPM”), each a Delaware corporation in connection MTBC’s acquisition of substantially all of the revenue cycle management, practice management and
group purchasing organization assets of Orion Healthcorp, Inc. and 13 of its affiliates (together, “Orion”). MHI is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of MTBC, and
was formed to own and operate the revenue cycle management and group purchasing organization businesses acquired from Orion. MPM is a wholly owned
subsidiary of MHI and was formed to own and operate the practice management business acquired from Orion.

In conjunction with its continued growth of its offshore operations in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, in April 2017, MTBC began winding down its operations in India and
Poland. The operations have been terminated and the Indian subsidiary is being liquidated. The Poland subsidiary was liquidated in 2018.

2. 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 accounts of MTBC, its wholly-owned subsidiaries; MAC (since October 3, 2016), MHI (since
May 2018), MPM (since May 2018), its majority-owned subsidiary MTBC Pvt. Ltd, and since October 3, 2016, the operating results and financial condition of the
acquired  subsidiary  in  Sri  Lanka.  The  non-controlling  interest  of  MTBC  Pvt.  Ltd.  is  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 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 long-lived
assets, (2) depreciable lives of assets, (3) allowance for doubtful accounts, (4) contingent consideration, (5) estimates of variable consideration related to the
contract  asset,  (6)  fair  value  of  identifiable  purchased  tangible  and  intangible  assets,  including  determination  of  expected  customer  life,  and  (7)  stock-based
compensation. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition  —  On  January  1,  2018,  the  Company  adopted  Accounting  Standards  Codification,  “ Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers ,”  (“ASC
606”)  using  the  modified  retrospective  method  as  applied  to  certain  medical  billing  services  that  were  in  process  as  of  January  1,  2018.  As  a  result,  financial
information  for  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2018,  are  presented  in  accordance  with  ASC  606.  Comparative  financial  information  for
reporting  periods  beginning  prior  to  January  1,  2018,  have  not  been  adjusted  and  continues  to  be  reported  in  accordance  with  the  Company’s  revenue
recognition policies prior to the adoption of ASC 606. The Company recorded a cumulative adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 606. The primary impact of
adopting  ASC  606  was  to  accelerate  the  timing  of  revenue  on  certain  medical  billing  services  provided  to  customers.  Beginning  January  1,  2018,  revenue  is
recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time.

We derive revenue from seven primary sources: (1) revenue cycle management services, (2) professional services, (3) ancillary services, (4) group purchasing
services, (5) printing and mailing services, (6) clearinghouse and EDI (electronic data interchange) services and (7) 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 price for the service.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 $950,000 and $395,000 of advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.

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. Software development costs are included in research and development and are expensed
as incurred.

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. 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 year ended December 31, 2018
and 2017, the Company capitalized approximately $62,000 and $170,000, respectively, of salaries and payroll-related costs of employees and consultants who
devoted time to the development of customer related projects.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. Accounts receivable are presented on the consolidated balance sheet net
of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is established based on reviews of the accounts receivable aging, an assessment of the customers’ history and
current creditworthiness and the probability of collection. Accounts are written off when it is determined that collection of the outstanding balance is no longer
probable.

The movement in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

Beginning balance
Provision
Write-offs

Inventory — Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first out method of inventory valuation accounting. Inventory consists of vaccines
used at the managed practices and only includes the cost of the vaccines themselves.

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  three  to  five  years.  Ordinary  maintenance  and  repairs  are  expensed  as  incurred.  Depreciation  for
computers  is  calculated  over  three  years,  while  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 assured 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 double
declining balance method over three to four years. Amortization for intangible assets related to the group purchasing organization and practice management is
recorded on a straight line basis over 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, intangibles or property and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

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. 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, 2018 or 2017.

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, 2018 and 2017.

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 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.

Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred approximately $245,000 and $30,000
of professional fees related to the acquisitions discussed in Note 3, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of
operations.

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, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2018 and 2017, 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  Company’s  Board  of  Directors.  The  Board  of  Directors  has  declared  monthly  dividends  on  the
Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) through February 2019. Preferred stock dividends are charged against paid in capital because the Company does
not  have  sufficient  retained  earnings.  The  Company  is  prohibited  from  paying  dividends  on  its  common  stock  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  its  lender,
Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”).

Deferred Rent — Deferred rent consists of rent escalation payment terms related to the Company’s operating leases for its facilities. Deferred rent represents
the  difference  between  actual  operating  lease  payments  due  and  straight-line  rent  expense,  which  is  recorded  by  the  Company  over  the  term  of  the  lease,
including any construction period. The excess of the difference between actual operating lease payments due and straight-line rent expense is recorded as a
deferred credit in the early periods of the lease when cash payments are generally lower than straight-line rent expense, and is reduced in the later periods of
the lease when payments begin to exceed the straight-line expense.

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.

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 Company’s 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’s  contingent  consideration  is  a  Level  3  liability  and  is  measured  at  fair  value  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period.  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, with the exception of the payable to the managed practices (see
Note 8) bear interest at prevailing market rates, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation  — The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional currency into U.S. dollars,
the Company’s 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  income  –  net  in  the
consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  amounted  to  a  gain  of  approximately  $435,000  and  $249,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017,
respectively.

Stock  Offering  Costs  —   Common  and  preferred  stock  offering  costs  consist  principally  of  professional  fees,  primarily  legal  and  accounting,  and  other  costs
such as printing and registration costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the common stock and the Preferred Stock in 2018 and 2017. In connection
with  the  2018  and  2017  equity  offerings,  the  Company  incurred  approximately  $282,000  and  $1.1  million,  respectively,  of  such  costs,  excluding  underwriting
commissions and placement agent fees.

Exit Costs, Including Restructuring Costs — The Company accrues exit and restructuring costs when the Board of Directors approves a plan that requires
such costs to be paid. Exit costs, including restructuring costs, represent costs related to the closing of the India and Poland subsidiaries such as costs related to
workforce  reductions,  costs  to  terminate  contracts  and  write-offs  of  equipment.  On  March  30,  2017,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  approved  a  plan  to
liquidate those subsidiaries, which was substantially concluded in 2018.

Debt Acquisition Costs — Costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of bank financing are deferred and amortized over the estimated term of the related
financing. Such amortization is included in interest expense. During the year ended December 31, 2017, $463,000 of deferred financing costs were written off as
a result of the termination of the Opus Bank (“Opus”) credit agreement.

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.

The  Company  adopted  Accounting  Standards  Update  (“ASU”)  2014-09,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers  (“ASC  606”)  on  January  1,  2018  using  a
modified retrospective adoption methodology, whereby the cumulative impact of all prior periods is recorded in accumulated deficit or other impacted balance
sheet  accounts  upon  adoption.  The  core  principle  of  this  amendment  is  that  an  entity  should  recognize  revenue  to  depict  the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the
previous accounting standard, one of the criteria impacting the timing of our revenue recognition was the requirement of fees to be either fixed or determinable;
therefore,  we  did  not  recognize  revenue  for  revenue  cycle  management  claims  until  we  were  notified  of  these  collections,  as  the  fees  were  not  fixed  or
determinable  until  such  time.  The  new  guidance  does  not  limit  the  recognition  of  revenue  to  only  fees  that  are  fixed  or  determinable.  Instead,  the  standard
focuses on recognizing revenue as value is transferred to customers. The impact as of January 1, 2018 on our revenue cycle management services is a revenue
recognition and reporting model that reflects revenue recognized over time rather than delaying the recognition of revenue until the point in time in which the
fees  to  be  charged  become  determinable.  The  impact  to  the  accumulated  deficit  as  of  January  1,  2018  for  the  contract  asset  related  to  revenue  cycle
management revenue was approximately $1.3 million. There was no material impact to the Company’s other revenue streams.

The  Company  determined  that  the  only  significant  incremental  cost  incurred  to  obtain  contracts  within  the  scope  of  ASC  606,  are  sales  commissions  paid  to
sales people and outside referral sources. Under the new standard, certain costs to obtain a contract, which we previously expensed, are deferred and amortized
over the period of contract performance or a longer period, generally the expected client life. The impact to the accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018 was
approximately  $101,000.  As  of  December  31,  2018,  the  capitalized  sales  commissions  were  approximately  $93,000  and  are  included  in  other  assets  in  the
consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of capitalized sales commissions for the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $60,000 and is included in
selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

These consolidated financial statements include enhanced disclosures, particularly around the contract asset and the disaggregation of revenue. See Note 9,
“Revenue,” for these enhanced disclosures.

In  February  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2016-02,  Leases  (Topic  842).  The  new  standard  will  require  organizations  that  lease  assets,  referred  to  as
“lessees,” to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee
will  be  required  to  recognize  assets  and  liabilities  for  leases  with  lease  terms  of  more  than  12  months.  Consistent  with  current  GAAP,  the  recognition,
measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating
lease. However, unlike current GAAP which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require both types of leases to
be recognized on the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements,  which  provides  an  additional
transition method that allows entities to initially apply the new standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance
of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating prior periods. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for financial statements issued
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with earlier adoption permitted.

We  adopted  the  standard  on  January  1,  2019  using  the  optional  transition  method.  The  Company  has  made  substantial  progress  in  executing  our
implementation plan. We have summarized the lease data and have selected specific software to assist us in recording and maintaining an inventory of leases.
We have revised our processes and controls to address the lease standard and have substantially completed the implementation and data input for our lease
accounting software. The Company determined that the adoption of ASC 842 primarily relates to its real estate leases for office and datacenter facilities. We will
adopt the requirements of the new standard via a cumulative effect adjustment without restating the prior periods. For leases in place at the transition date, we
will  use  the  package  of  practical  expedients  that  allows  us  to  not  reassess:  (1)  whether  any  expired  or  existing  contracts  are  or  contain  leases,  (2)  lease
classification  for  any  expired  or  existing  leases  and  (3)  initial  direct  costs  for  any  expired  or  existing  leases.  We  additionally  expect  to  use  the  practical
expedients that allows us to treat the lease and non-lease components of our leases as a single component for our facility leases. We elected the short-term
lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. As such, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU asset or lease liabilities as part of the
transition adjustment in the future. While we are finalizing our assessment of all of the effects of adoption, we currently believe that most significant effects relate
to (i) the recognition of new right of use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet relating to facility leases and other operating leases with
durations greater than twelve months; and (ii) providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities. Based on the assessment performed to date, we
believe that the impact on our consolidated assets and liabilities will be material as of January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC 842
to have a material effect on its results of operations, stockholders’ equity, or statement of cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,  Compensation—Stock Compensation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2016, for public companies. Adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 requires recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies arising from settlement or vesting
of  stock-based  compensation  to  be  recorded  as  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  through  the  income  statement  instead  of  APIC  under  the  prior  rule.  The
recognition of excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies over book compensation cost through the income statement is done on a prospective basis. This new rule
eliminates the need for companies to continue to track their windfall pools, and the existing windfall pools effectively disappear. Upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-
09,  a  company  is  required  to  record  only  the  unrecognized  tax  benefit  on  a  modified  retrospective  basis  through  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  to  beginning
retained earnings. As a result of ASU 2016-09, the Company will allow recipients of equity settled stock compensation to have the maximum statutory income tax
withheld  from  their  vested  stock  awards.  The  Company  accounts  for  forfeitures  as  they  occur.  There  is  currently  no  impact  on  the  consolidated  financial
statements as a result of this adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,  Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments  (“ASU 2016-13”).
The  guidance  in  ASU  2016-13  replaces  the  incurred  loss  impairment  methodology  under  current  GAAP.  The  new  impairment  model  requires  immediate
recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It will apply to all entities. For trade receivables,
loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. This will result in the earlier recognition of credit
losses.  ASU  2016-13  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2019,  and  interim  periods  within  those  annual  periods.  Early  adoption  is
permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new guidance, which we expect will not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

Also in January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,  Intangibles – Goodwill and Other  (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment .
The  ASU  modifies  the  accounting  for  goodwill  impairment  with  the  objective  of  simplifying  the  process  of  determining  impairment  levels.  Specifically,  the
amendments in the ASU eliminate a step in the goodwill impairment test which requires companies to develop a hypothetical purchase price allocation when
analyzing goodwill impairment. This eliminates the need for companies to estimate the fair value of individual existing assets and liabilities within a reporting unit.
Instead, goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s total carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of
goodwill. All other aspects of the goodwill impairment test process have remained the same. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning in the year 2020,
with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests after January 1, 2017. The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04. There is currently no impact
on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this adoption.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09,  Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting (Topic 718), which provides guidance
about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity will account for the
effects of a modification unless the fair value of the modified award is the same as the original award, the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same
as the original award and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or liability instrument is the same as the original award. The guidance is
effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The update is to be adopted prospectively to
an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company does not anticipate any material impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of
this adoption.

On  February  14,  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2018-02,  Income  Statement-Reporting  Comprehensive  Income  (Topic  220):  Reclassification  of  Certain  Tax
Effects  from  Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Income. These  amendments  provide  financial  statement  preparers  with  an  option  to  reclassify  standard  tax
effects  within  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  to  retained  earnings  in  each  period  in  which  the  effect  of  the  change  in  the  U.S.  federal  corporate
income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recorded. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods
therein. The Company does not anticipate any material impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.

In  June  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2018-07,  Improvements  to  Nonemployee  Share-Based  Payment  Accounting.  This  ASU  simplifies  the  accounting  for
nonemployee  share-based  payments  by  aligning  it  with  the  accounting  for  share-based  payments  to  employees,  with  exceptions.  Under  this  guidance,  the
measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date, which may lower their cost and reduce volatility in the income statement.
Awards to nonemployees are measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued, rather than the fair value of the goods or services
received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be measured more reliably. Entities need to consider the probability that a performance
condition will be satisfied when an award contains such condition. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not anticipate any material impact on the consolidated financial statements as a
result of this standard.

3. ACQUISITIONS

2018 Acquisition

On  May  7,  2018,  the  Company  executed  an  asset  purchase  agreement  (“APA”)  to  acquire  substantially  all  of  the  revenue  cycle,  practice  management,  and
group purchasing organization assets of Orion. The purchase price was $12.6 million, excluding acquisition-related costs of approximately $245,000, which are
included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Per the APA, the acquisition had an effective date of July 1, 2018.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination.

The Orion acquisition added a significant number of clients to the Company’s customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions, broadened the Company’s
presence in the healthcare information technology industry through geographic expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship
resources and specialized trained staff. The acquisition also included Orion’s practice management and group purchasing services. The practice management
services provide three pediatric medical practices with the nurses, administrative support, facilities, supplies, equipment, marketing, RCM, accounting and other
non-clinical services needed to efficiently operate the practices. The group purchasing services enable medical providers to purchase various vaccines directly
from selected pharmaceutical companies at a discounted price.

The Company engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist the Company in valuing the assets and assumed liabilities acquired from Orion. The following
table summarizes the purchase price allocation.

The acquired accounts receivable are recorded at fair value which represents amounts that have subsequently been paid or are expected to be paid by clients.
The  inventory  acquired  represents  vaccines  held  at  the  managed  practices.  The  fair  value  of  customer  relationships  was  based  on  the  estimated  discounted
cash flows generated by these intangibles. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over fifteen years and represents the
Company’s ability to have an expanded local presence in additional markets, operational synergies that we expect to achieve that would not be available to other
market participants and the ability to offer group purchasing and practice management services.

The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangibles is eight years.

Revenue  earned  beginning  July  1,  2018  from  the  customers  obtained  from  the  Orion  acquisition  was  approximately  $17.8  million  during  the  year  ended
December 31, 2018.

2017 Acquisition

Effective  July  1,  2017,  the  Company  purchased  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  Washington  Medical  Billing,  LLC  (“WMB”),  a  Washington  limited  liability
company.  In  accordance  with  the  asset  purchase  agreement,  the  Company  agreed  to  a  non-refundable  initial  payment  (the  “Initial  Payment  Amount”)  of
$205,000. In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, the Company agreed to pay the sellers 22%, 23% and 24% of revenue collected from the WMB accounts in
the first, second and third year, respectively, subsequent to the acquisition date to the extent such amounts in the aggregate exceed the Initial Payment Amount
(the  “WMB  Installment  Payments”).  Based  on  the  Company’s  revenue  forecast,  it  does  not  appear  that  there  will  be  any  WMB  Installment  Payments  and
therefore the aggregate purchase price of WMB was determined to be $205,000.

The purchase price allocation for WMB was performed by the Company and is summarized as follows:

Customer relationships
Goodwill

  $

  $

120,000 
85,000 
205,000 

The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over 15 years and represents the Company’s ability to have a local presence in
the Washington market and the further ability to expand in that market.

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

Revenue earned from the WMB acquisition was approximately $178,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018.

6. CONCENTRATIONS

Financial  Risks  —  As  of  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  the  Company  held  cash  of  approximately  $77,000  and  $56,000  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.

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, 2018, two customers individually accounted for approximately 8% and 7% of accounts
receivable,  respectively.  As  of  December  31,  2017,  two  customers  individually  accounted  for  approximately  8%  and  7%  of  accounts  receivable  respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, there was one customer with sales of approximately 10% of the total revenue. During the year ended December 31,
2017, there was one customer with sales of approximately 9% of total revenue.

Geographical  Risks  —  The  Company’s  offices  in  Islamabad  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. The Bagh office was opened in 2009 for the purpose of providing operational support and operating as a backup to the Islamabad office. The
Company’s operations outside the United States are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the United
States.  The  Company’s  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  may  be  influenced  by  the  political,  economic,  and  legal  environment  in  the
countries in which it operates and by the general state of these countries’ economies. The Company’s 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.

All unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), the 200,000 warrants granted to Opus, the 153,489 warrants granted to Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and, for 2017,
the two million warrants issued during the second quarter of 2017 as part of the sale of common stock have been excluded from the above calculations as they
were anti-dilutive. Vested RSUs and vested restricted shares have been included in the above calculations.

8. DEBT

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
from Opus. The SVB credit facility is a secured revolving line of credit where borrowings are based on a formula of 200% of repeatable revenue adjusted by an
annualized attrition rate as defined in the credit agreement. During the third quarter of 2018, the credit line was increased from $5 million to $10 million and the
term was extended for an additional year. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no borrowings under the credit facility. Interest on the SVB revolving
line of credit is charged at the prime rate plus 1.50%. There is also a fee of one-half of 1% annually for the unused portion of the credit line. The debt is secured
by all of the Company’s domestic assets and 65% of the shares in its offshore subsidiaries. Future acquisitions are subject to approval by SVB.

In connection with the original SVB debt agreement, the Company paid SVB approximately $50,000 of fees upfront and issued warrants for SVB to purchase
125,000  shares  of  its  common  stock,  and  committed  to  pay  an  annual  anniversary  fee  of  $50,000  a  year.  Based  on  the  terms  in  the  original  SVB  credit
agreement,  these  warrants  have  a  strike  price  equal  to  $3.92.  They  have  a  five-year  exercise  window  and  net  exercise  rights,  and  were  valued  at  $3.12  per
warrant. As a result of the revision in the SVB credit line, which increased the credit line from $5 million to $10 million and reduced the interest rate by 25 basis
points, the Company paid approximately $50,000 of fees upfront and issued an additional 28,489 warrants, with a strike price equal to $5.26, a five-year exercise
window and net exercise rights. The additional warrants were valued at $3.58 per warrant. The SVB credit agreement contains various covenants and conditions
governing the revolving line of credit. These covenants include a minimum level of adjusted EBITDA and a minimum liquidity ratio. At December 31, 2018, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Opus — On September 2, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Opus. Opus extended a credit facility totaling $10 million to the Company,
consisting  of  $8  million  of  term  loans  and  a  $2  million  revolving  line  of  credit.  The  Company’s  obligations  to  Opus  were  secured  by  substantially  all  of  the
Company’s domestic assets and 65% of the shares in its offshore subsidiaries. During October 2017, the Opus credit facility was fully paid and replaced with
the SVB facility.

Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes $463,000 of deferred financing costs which were
written off as a result of the termination of the Opus credit agreement.

Prudential Deferred Purchase Price  — During 2017, the entire amount due to Prudential of $5 million in connection with the purchase of MediGain was paid,
including $270,000 of accrued interest, which fully satisfied the amount owed.

Vehicle Financing Notes — The Company financed certain vehicle purchases both in the United States and in Pakistan. The vehicle financing notes have three
to six year terms and were issued at current market rates.

Insurance Financing — The Company finances certain insurance purchases over the term of the policy life. The interest rate charged is 5.87%.

Payable to Managed Practices —  As a result of the Orion acquisition, the Company assumed a payable to the managed practices of $236,000, which is non-
interest bearing.

Maturities of the outstanding notes payable and other obligations as of December 31, 2018 are as follows:

The  Company  accounts  for  revenue  in  accordance  with  ASC  606,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers ,  which  was  adopted  January  1,  2018  using  the
modified  retrospective  method.  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. Under the new standard, 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  revenue  cycle
management services, 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. The timing of the revenue recognition of our other revenue streams were not materially impacted
by the adoption of ASC 606.

Most  of  our  current  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 prices are based on the contractual price for the service.

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 seven primary sources: revenue cycle management services, practice management services, professional services, ancillary services,
group purchasing services, printing and mailing services, and clearinghouse and EDI (electronic data interchange) services.

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

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. MTBC 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
software-as-a-service (“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.

Other revenue streams:

MTBC also provides implementation and professional services to clearinghouse and other customers and records revenue monthly on a time and materials or a
fixed  rate  basis.  This  is  a  separate  performance  obligation  from  the  clearinghouse  and  recurring  EDI  services  provided,  for  which  the  Company  receives  and
records monthly fees. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as the implementation or professional services are rendered.

Ancillary  services  represent  services  such  as  coding  and  transcription  that  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.

As a result of the Orion acquisition on July 1, 2018, the Company now 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  provider’s  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.

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.

The  medical  billing  clearinghouse  service  takes  claim  information  from  customers,  checks  the  claims  for  errors  and  sends  this  information  electronically  to
insurance companies. MTBC 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.

For all of the above revenue streams other than group purchasing services, 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.

Practice management services:

The  Company  also  provides  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 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 practice management services have approximately an additional 20 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  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 management fee is computed at each month end.

Information about contract balances:

As  a  result  of  the  Orion  acquisition,  a  contract  asset  of  approximately  $861,000  was  recorded  as  part  of  the  purchase  price  allocation.  Of  this  amount,
approximately  $400,000  was  related  to  revenue  cycle  management  and  $461,000  was  related  to  group  purchasing  services.  The  revenue  recognition  for  the
group purchasing services was not impacted by the new revenue standard. For group purchasing services, the revenue earned and not paid is recorded as part
of the contract asset.

The contract asset in the consolidated balance sheet represents the revenue associated with the amounts we estimate our revenue cycle management clients
will ultimately collect associated with the services they have provided and the relative fee we charge associated with those collections, together with amounts
related  to  the  group  purchasing  services.  The  performance  obligations  as  of  January  1,  2018  were  substantially  recognized  in  the  quarter  ended  March  31,
2018.  As  of  December  31,  2018,  the  estimated  revenue  expected  to  be  recognized  in  the  future  related  to  the  remaining  revenue  cycle  management
performance  obligations  outstanding  was  approximately  $1.8  million.  We  expect  to  recognize  substantially  all  of  the  revenue  for  the  remaining  performance
obligations  over  the  next  three  months.  Approximately  $0.8  million  of  the  contract  asset  represents  revenue  earned,  not  paid,  from  the  group  purchasing
services.

Accounts  receivable  are  shown  separately  at  their  net  realizable  value  in  our  consolidated  balance  sheets.  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  results  from  our  revenue  cycle  management  services  and  is  due  to  the  timing  of  revenue  recognition,  submission  of  claims  from  our  customers  and
payments  from  the  insurance  providers.  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.

The contract asset was approximately $2.6 million as of December 31, 2018. 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. Deferred revenue
represents  sign-up  fees  received  from  revenue  cycle  management  customers  that  are  amortized  over  three  years.  The  opening  and  closing  balances  of  the
Company’s accounts receivable, contract asset and deferred revenue are as follows:

Our sales incentive plans include commissions payable to employees and third parties at the time of 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
$93,000 at December 31, 2018 and is included in the Other Assets lines in the consolidated balance sheet.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings — As described in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, filed
with  the  SEC  on  August  8,  2018,  and  November  7,  2018,  respectively,  on  May  30,  2018,  the  Superior  Court  of  New  Jersey,  Chancery  Division,  Somerset
Country  (the  “Chancery  Court”)  denied  the  Company’s  and  MTBC  Acquisition  Corp.’s  (“MAC”)  request  to  enjoin  an  arbitration  proceeding  demanded  by
Randolph Pain Relief and Wellness Center (“RPWC”) related to RCM services provided by parties unaffiliated with the Company and MAC. On June 15, 2018,
the  Company  and  MAC  filed  an  appeal  of  the  Chancery  Court’s  decision  with  the  New  Jersey  Superior  Court,  Appellate  Division.  On  July  19,  2018,  the
Chancery Court ordered that the arbitration be stayed pending the Company’s and MAC’s appeal. The demand for arbitration alleges breach of a billing services
agreement between RPWC and Millennium Practice Management Associates, Inc., a subsidiary of MediGain, LLC, and seeks compensatory damages and costs.
The Company and MAC contend they were never party to the billing services agreement giving rise to the arbitration claim, did not assume the obligations of
Millennium Practice Management Associates under such agreement, and any agreement to arbitrate disputes arising under such agreement does not apply to
the Company or MAC. While the allegations of breach of contract made by RPWC have not been the subject of ongoing legal proceedings, the Company and
MAC believe that such allegations lack merit on numerous grounds. On January 30, 2019, the parties conducted oral arguments before the Appellate Court. The
Company and MAC’s appeal remains pending.

From time to time, we may become involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Including the proceeding 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.

Leases — The Company leases certain office space and other facilities under operating leases expiring through 2023. Certain of these leases contain renewal
options.

Certain other leases are being maintained on a month to month basis. This includes leases for our US corporate facility and other locations with the Executive
Chairman (see Note 12). As of December 31, 2018, total lease payments for our month-to-month and cancelable leases are approximately $47,000 per month.
The Company also has an offshore lease with monthly rent payments of approximately $19,000 that has a three-month cancellation provision. Month to month
leases and cancelable leases were not included in the table below.

compensation  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  approximately  $39,000  and  $54,000,  respectively,
was paid in connection with the cash-settled awards.

Preferred stock

In November 2016, the Compensation Committee granted cash bonuses to three executives for the successful MediGain acquisition to be paid upon the closing
of additional funding, which did not occur. The expense for this bonus was recorded in 2016. In January 2017, the Board of Directors recommended that these
bonuses be paid in shares of Preferred Stock, subject to shareholder approval. In April 2017, shareholder approval was obtained and 33,000 shares of Preferred
Stock were issued.

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2017,  the  Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  again  approved  the  issuance  of  a  total  of  33,000  restricted  shares  of
Preferred Stock, contingent on meeting 2017 financial objectives, to three executive officers. Subsequent to year-end, the Compensation Committee determined
that  the  financial  objectives  were  attained  and  all  of  the  shares  were  issued.  Additional  Preferred  Stock  awards  of  6,800  shares  were  also  granted  to  two
employees as performance bonuses. Stock-based compensation expense recorded during 2017 for these awards was approximately $1.0 million based on the
liquidation value of $25 per share which approximated the fair value on the date of the grant.

In 2018, the Compensation Committee has again approved executive bonuses to be paid in 40,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with the final number of shares
and the amount based on specified performance criteria being achieved during 2018. An additional Preferred Stock award of 4,800 shares was granted as a
performance bonus to one employee. Stock-based compensation expense recorded during 2018 for these awards was approximately $1.2 million based on the
liquidation value of $25 per share which approximated the fair value on the date of the grant. During February 2019, the Compensation Committee determined
that the financial objectives were attained and all of the shares were issued including the performance bonus shares.

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  in  recording  the  fair  value  of  the  award.  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 $4.53 and $1.73 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  the  Company  estimated  its  income  tax  provision  based  upon  the  annual  pre-tax  loss.  Although  the
Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred cumulative losses which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with
ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all federal and state deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018 and December 31,
2017, with the exception of a net deferred tax liability relating to the amortization of intangibles for tax purposes.

As of January 1, 2018, all adjusted foreign income amounts became taxable due to a change in U.S. tax law under the recent tax reform legislation discussed
below. For state tax purposes, the Company’s foreign earnings may be taxable depending on each individual state’s 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, 2018 and 2017:

  $

The adjustments/true-ups for 2018 primarily represent the adjustment for the additional net operating loss as a result of completing the 2017 federal and state
income tax returns. The adjustments/true-ups for 2017 primarily represent the use of federal net operating losses to offset the Transition Tax as defined below.
Accordingly, additional valuation allowances needed to be provided. Since a full valuation allowance is recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets, there
was no effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The (loss) income before tax for financial reporting purposes during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted of the following:

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.

The  Company  has  recorded  goodwill  as  a  result  of  its  acquisitions.  Goodwill  is  generally  not  amortized  for  financial  reporting  purposes.  For  tax  purposes,
goodwill 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). 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 incurring a tax loss for 2018 which has an indefinite life under the recent tax reform legislation, the
federal  deferred  tax  liability  resulting  from  the  amortization  of  goodwill  was  offset  against  the  2018  federal  operating  net  loss,  to  the  extent  allowable.  This
resulted  in  a  deferred  tax  benefit  of  approximately  $208,000.  The  remaining  deferred  tax  liability  could  remain  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  balance  sheet
indefinitely unless there is an impairment of goodwill (for financial reporting purposes) or a portion of the business is sold.

Due  to  the  fact  that  the  aforementioned  deferred  tax  liability  could  have  an  indefinite  life,  it  is  not  netted  against  the  Company’s  deferred  tax  assets  when
determining the required valuation allowance in accordance with ASC 740 guidelines. Doing so would result in the understatement of the valuation allowance
and related deferred income tax expense.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate (21%) for 2018 and (34%) for 2017 to the Company’s effective income tax rate (determined in dollars) for
the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

Federal benefit at statutory rate
Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from:

State tax expense, net of federal benefit
Non-deductible items
Impact of foreign operations
Deferred tax impact from rate change
Subpart F GILTI inclusion
Deferred true-up
Valuation allowance
Additional tax goodwill/contingent consideration

Total income tax (benefit) provision

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, various states, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
As of December 31, 2018, tax years 2015 through 2017 remain open to examination in the United States by major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company is
subject to tax. The Company’s 2015 federal income tax return was examined during 2017 by the Internal Revenue Service. Upon the conclusion of the audit,
there  was  an  immaterial  change  to  the  reported  amounts  which  slightly  reduced  the  Company’s  NOL  carryforward.  The  Pakistan  Federal  Board  of  Revenue
issued  a  tax  holiday,  which  precludes  the  Pakistan  subsidiary  from  being  subject  to  income  taxes  through  June  2025.  It  is  the  Company’s  policy  that  any
assessed penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions would be charged to income tax expense.

The Pakistan tax holiday does not have a significant impact on the Company’s effective tax rate as all of its earnings in Pakistan have been fully included in the
U.S. federal tax rate of 21% for 2018 and 34% for 2017. The Pakistan statutory corporate tax rate is 30% before consideration of the aforementioned tax holiday.

The Company has a federal NOL carry forward of approximately $18.0 million of which approximately $15.8 million will expire between 2034 and 2037 and $2.2
million has an indefinite life. The Company has state NOL carry forwards which mainly consists of approximately $34.9 million, of which $17.6 million relates to
the State of New Jersey. These NOLs expire between 2034 to 2038.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax
Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2)
requiring  companies  to  incur  a  one-time  transition  tax  on  certain  un-repatriated  earnings  of  foreign  subsidiaries;  (3)  generally  eliminating  U.S.  federal  income
taxes  on  future  dividends  from  foreign  subsidiaries;  (4)  requiring  a  current  inclusion  in  U.S.  federal  taxable  income  of  certain  earnings  of  controlled  foreign
corporations  commonly  referred  to  as  the  Global  Intangible  Low-Taxed  Income  (“GILTI”);  (5)  eliminating  the  corporate  alternative  minimum  tax  (“AMT”)  and
changing  how  existing  AMT  credits  can  be  realized;  (6)  creating  a  new  limitation  on  deductible  interest  expense;  and  (7)  changing  rules  related  to  uses  and
limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

As a result of the Tax Act, and pursuant to ASC 740 guidelines, impacts of legislative changes to deferred taxes are recorded in the period of enactment (fourth
quarter of 2017). Consequently, at December 31, 2017, we revalued all our ending deferred tax balances to the new statutory 21% federal U.S. tax rate which
was  effective  January  1,  2018.  The  impact  of  the  revaluation  to  our  total  gross  deferred  tax  asset  balance,  before  valuation  allowance,  was  a  reduction  of
approximately $3.3 million as of December 31, 2017.

The Tax Act reduced the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018. For our deferred tax liability related to the amortization of goodwill for tax
purposes, we recorded a decrease of $196,000, with a corresponding net adjustment to deferred tax benefit of that amount for the year ended December 31,
2017. 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 on the consolidated balances sheet.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Both our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman serve as the CODM, organize the Company, manage resource allocations and measure performance
among two operating and reportable segments: (i) Healthcare IT and (ii) Practice Management.

The  Healthcare  IT  segment  includes  revenue  cycle  management  and  other  services.  The  Practice  management  segment  includes  the  management  of  three
medical practices. Each segment is considered a reporting unit. The CODM evaluates financial performance of the business units on the basis of revenue and
direct operating costs excluding unallocated amounts, which are mainly corporate overhead costs. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset
or liability information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those disclosed in the summary of significant accounting policies. There was
only  one  operating  segment  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017  as  the  Practice  Management  segment  was  acquired  in  2018.  The  following  table
presents revenues, operating expenses and operating income by reportable segment:

As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their
estimated fair values because of the short term nature of these financial instruments.

Fair value measurements-Level 2

Our notes payable are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged approximate market rates. As a result, the Company
categorizes these borrowings as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent Consideration

The Company’s contingent consideration of approximately $526,000 and $603,000 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are Level 3 liabilities. The
fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  at  December  31,  2018  and  2017  was  primarily  driven  by  changes  in  revenue  estimates  related  to  the  acquisitions
during 2015 and 2016, the passage of time and the associated discount rate. Due to the number of factors used to determine contingent consideration, it is not
possible to determine a range of outcomes. Subsequent adjustments to the fair value of the contingent consideration liability will continue to be recorded in the
Company’s results of operations until all contingencies are settled.

The  following  table  provides  a  reconciliation  of  the  beginning  and  ending  balances  for  the  contingent  consideration  measured  at  fair  value  using  significant
