NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  Business
 
Overview
 
CarePayment Technologies, Inc. (formerly microHelix, Inc.) (“we,” “us,” “our,” “CarePayment” or the “Company”) was incorporated as an Oregon corporation in 1991.  From inception until September 28, 2007, we manufactured custom cable assemblies and mechanical assemblies for the medical and commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) markets.  We were experiencing considerable competition by late 2006 as our customers aggressively outsourced competing products from offshore suppliers.  In the first quarter of 2007, a customer that accounted for over 30% of our revenues experienced a recall of one of its major products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  As a result the customer cancelled its orders with us, leaving us with large amounts of inventory on hand and significantly reduced revenue.

On May 31, 2007 we informed our three secured creditors, BFI Business Finance, VenCore Solution, LLC and MH Financial Associates, LLC ("MH Financial"), that we were unable to continue business operations due to continuing operating losses and a lack of working capital.  At that time we voluntarily surrendered our assets to these secured creditors, following which we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Moore Electronics, Inc. ("Moore"), operated for the benefit of the secured creditors until September 2007, when we ceased manufacturing operations and became a shell company.  MH Financial was, at that time, and currently is, an affiliate of ours due to its ownership of shares of our capital stock.

Following September 2007 and continuing until December 31, 2009, we had no operations.  Our Board of Directors, however, determined to maintain us as a shell company to seek opportunities to acquire a business or assets sufficient to operate a business.  To help facilitate our search for suitable business acquisition opportunities, among other goals, on June 27, 2008 we entered into an advisory services agreement with Aequitas Capital Management, Inc. (“Aequitas”) to provide us with strategy development, strategic planning, marketing, corporate development and other advisory services.  In exchange for the services to be provided by Aequitas under that agreement, we issued to Aequitas warrants to purchase 106,667 shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

Effective at the end of December 2009, we acquired certain assets and rights that enabled us to begin building a business that services accounts receivable for other parties.  The assets and rights we acquired had been previously developed by Aequitas and its affiliate, CarePayment, LLC, under the CarePayment® brand for servicing accounts receivable generated by hospitals in connection with providing health care services to their patients.  The assets and rights we acquired included the exclusive right to administer, service and collect patient accounts receivable generated by hospitals and purchased by CarePayment, LLC or its affiliates, and a proprietary software product that is used to manage the servicing.  Typically CarePayment, LLC or one of its affiliates purchase patient accounts receivable from hospitals and then we administer, service and collect them on behalf of CarePayment, LLC for a fee.  Although we intend to grow our business to include servicing of accounts receivable on behalf of other parties, currently CarePayment, LLC is our only customer.

To facilitate building the business, on December 30, 2009, we, Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC formed an Oregon limited liability company, CP Technologies LLC ("CP Technologies") (formerly WS Technologies LLC).  We contributed shares of our newly authorized Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred") and warrants to purchase shares of our Class B Common Stock to CP Technologies.  Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC contributed to CP Technologies the CarePayment® assets and rights described in the foregoing paragraph.  CP Technologies then distributed the shares of Series D Preferred to Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC, and the warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common to CarePayment, LLC, to redeem all but half of one membership unit (a "Unit") held by each of them.  Following these transactions, we own 99% of CP Technologies, and Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC each own 0.5% of CP Technologies as of December 31, 2009.

Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC are affiliates due to their common control by Aequitas Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”).  Aequitas is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.  CarePayment, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aequitas Commercial Finance, LLC (“ACF”), which itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.  On December 30, 2009, prior to the contribution of assets, Holdings and its affiliates owned 13.1% of the Company’s common stock and controlled 46.3% of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

The Receivables Servicing Business

On January 1, 2010 and as a result of the transactions described above, CP Technologies began building a business to service hospital patient receivables for an affiliate of the Company, CarePayment, LLC.

Generally, a majority of a hospital's accounts receivable are paid by medical insurance, Medicare and Medicaid.  The balance of accounts receivable due directly from the patient is not always a priority for many hospitals, due primarily to the effort and expense required to collect those balances from individuals. CarePayment, LLC, acting alone or through its affiliates, purchases patient receivables from hospitals.  CP Technologies administers, services and collects the receivables; CarePayment, LLC maintains ownership of the receivables.

A patient whose health care receivable is acquired by CarePayment, LLC becomes a CarePayment® finance card customer and is issued a CarePayment® card, which has an initial outstanding balance equal to the receivable purchased by CarePayment, LLC.  Balances due on the CarePayment ® card are generally payable over 25 months with no interest.  From the customer's point of view, the CarePayment ® card functions much like a credit card even though CP Technologies advances no credit to the customer.  In addition to servicing the receivables, CP Technologies also analyzes potential receivable acquisitions for CarePayment, LLC and recommends a course of action when it determines that collection efforts for existing receivables are no longer effective.

In exchange for its services, CP Technologies receives origination fees at the time CarePayment, LLC purchases and delivers receivables to CP Technologies for servicing, a monthly servicing fee based on the total principal amount of receivables being serviced, and a quarterly fee based upon a percentage of CarePayment, LLC's quarterly net income.  CP Technologies’ servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC includes additional compensation during the first six months of 2010 to cover the Company’s start up costs as it builds a receivables servicing business.  This compensation is equal to the Company's actual monthly losses for the first quarter of 2010 and an amount equal to 50% of actual monthly losses for the second quarter of 2010.  The Company received $873,371 of such compensation from CarePayment, LLC in the three-month period ended March 31, 2010.

CP Technologies contracts with various vendors to service the CarePayment® finance card product, send customer statements, accept payments, and transmit all transaction history back to CP Technologies.  Since CP Technologies  is responsible for the CarePayment® finance card's compliance with various laws and regulations relating to consumer credit, these vendors are selected for their specific expertise in such areas.
 
2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of presentation:
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of CarePayment and in the opinion of management include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and operating results for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2010.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Estimates and assumptions:
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 
7

 
 
Principles of consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CarePayment, its wholly owned subsidiary, Moore, and its 99% owned subsidiary, CP Technologies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
 
Concentration of credit risk:
 
Receivables — The Company’s  receivables are all with a related party.  The Company does not anticipate any collection issues.

Revenue from one source — The Company currently generates all its revenue through one servicing agreement with a related party.

Cash and investments — The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts; at times, the balances in these accounts may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
Cash and cash equivalents:
 
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and include investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition.  Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits.
 
Property and equipment:
 
Property and equipment is comprised of servicing software which is stated at original estimated fair value, net of accumulated amortization.  Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of the software is 3 years.  The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Amortization expense was $41,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Servicing rights:
 
Servicing rights represent the fair value of the identifiable intangible asset associated with the acquisition of certain business assets.  Effective January 1, 2010, the Company began to amortize the cost associated with this asset on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 25 years, which is based on the term of the servicing agreement that expires in 2034.  The Company evaluates servicing rights for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable by analyzing the undiscounted and discounted future cash flows under the servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC.  Amortization expense was $95,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Revenue recognition:
 
The Company recognizes revenue in conjunction with a servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC.  The Company receives a servicing fee equal to 5% annually of total funded receivables being serviced and an origination fee equal to 6% of the original balance of newly generated funded receivables.  The servicing agreement also provides that the Company receives 25% of CarePayment, LLC’s quarterly net income, adjusted for certain items.  The Company recognizes revenue related to this agreement, which is evidence of an arrangement, at the time the services are rendered; the servicing fee is recognized as revenue monthly at 1/12 of the annual percent of the funded receivables being serviced for the month; the origination fee is recognized as revenue at the time CarePayment, LLC funds its purchased receivables and the Company assumes the responsibility for servicing these receivables; the 25% of CarePayment, LLC’s net income is recognized as revenue in the quarter that CarePayment, LLC records the net income.  The collectability of the revenue recognized from these related party transactions is considered reasonably assured.
 
Cost of revenue:
 
Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of compensation and benefit costs for servicing employees, costs associated with outsourcing billing, collections and payment processing services, and amortization of servicing rights and servicing software.
 
Income taxes:
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities that are determined based on the differences between the financial statement bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce a deferred tax asset to that portion of the deferred tax asset that is expected to more likely than not be realized.

 
8

 

The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return.  Estimated interest and penalties, if any, are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively.  No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions, or related interest or penalties as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  Tax years that remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities are the years ended 2006 through 2009.
 
Stock-based compensation:
 
Stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line attribution method.  Stock-based compensation for stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
Warrants to purchase the Company’s stock:
 
The fair value of warrants to purchase the Company’s stock issued for services or in exchange for assets is estimated at the issue date using the Black-Scholes model.
 
Earnings (loss) per common share:
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share, (“EPS”), is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted EPS assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities determined using the treasury stock method.  Dilutive loss per share does not consider the impact of potentially dilutive securities in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect.
 
Comprehensive income (loss):
 
The Company has no components of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and, accordingly, no statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) is included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Operating segments and reporting units:
 
The Company operates as a single business segment and reporting unit.
 
Recently adopted accounting standards:
 
In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on subsequent events. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and the Company adopted these new requirements for the period ended March 31, 2010.
 
Recently issued accounting standards:
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On June 27, 2008, the Company refinanced a promissory note payable to MH Financial  by issuing a note payable (the”Note”) in the amount of $977,743.  The loan amount included $477,743 that was owed to MH Financial as of June 27, 2008 and an additional loan of up to $500,000.  The Company was advanced $200,000 on June 27, 2008, $100,000 on December 31, 2008, $100,000 on February 27, 2009, and $100,000 on November 6, 2009.  Effective as of the date of this refinance, interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the loan at a rate of 20% per annum.  The original due date of the Note was December 27, 2008 and, as a condition of the December 31, 2008 advance, the due date was extended to December 31, 2009.  On December 31, 2009, the Company was granted a note extension to December 31, 2011, at which time all unpaid interest and principal are due.  In addition, the interest rate on the principal amount outstanding under the Note decreases from 20% to 8% per annum after the Company makes principal payments totaling $400,000.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company has made principal payments of $103,500; the interest rate on the loan will decrease after the Company makes additional principal payments of $296,500.  The note continues to be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On December 31, 2008, the Company entered into a multiple advance promissory note payable to Aequitas.  The note is a multiple advance note, with a maximum advance amount of $360,000.  Effective December 31, 2009, there will be no additional advances made under the note and the note was amended and was modified to reflect modified payment and maturity date information.  The maturity date was further extended on March 31, 2010 to be September 30, 2010.  Under these modified terms all amounts outstanding under this note are due and payable on the earliest of the following:  (a) September 30, 2010; (b) the closing of a loan or other financing provided to the Company by a senior lender or other source in an amount sufficient to pay off this note; (c) the closing of a private investment in public equity financing and/or any other financing event with gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $1,000,000; provided, however, that after the occurrence of an event of default under the note, the outstanding principal and all accrued interest will be payable on demand.  Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to expenses for which the Company is liable under the note (including unpaid collection costs and late charges), next to accrued and unpaid interest, and the balance to principal.  In addition, the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable in the event of (x) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (y) the transfer of ownership or beneficial interest, by merger or otherwise, of 50% or more of the stock of the Company.

On January 15, 2010, CarePayment entered into agreements pursuant to which it could borrow up to a maximum of $500,000 from ACF, an affiliate of Aequitas.  The Company was advanced $31,000 on January 14, 2010, which was repaid on February 12, 2010.  As of March 31, 2010, there are no outstanding advances under these agreements with ACF.  These agreements expired on March 31, 2010.
 
4. Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On December 30, 2009, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred in connection with the transactions described in Note 1 above.  Holders of the Series D Preferred receive a preferred dividend of $0.50 per share per annum, when and if declared by our Board of Directors, and a liquidation preference of $10 per share, plus cumulative unpaid dividends.  The Company may redeem all of the Series D Preferred at any time upon 30 days' prior written notice, and is required to redeem all of the Series D Preferred in January 2013 at a purchase price equal to the liquidation preference in effect on January 1, 2013.  If the Company is unable to redeem the Series D Preferred with cash or other immediately available funds for any reason, the holders of Series D Preferred will have the right to exchange all shares of Series D Preferred for an aggregate 99% ownership interest in CP Technologies.

 
10

 

The fair value of the Series D Preferred was determined using a dividend discount model assuming a 9% discount rate and that the cumulative dividends of $0.50 per share will be accrued and received at the mandatory redemption date (Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy). The resulting fair value of the 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred issued on December 30, 2009 was $8,805,140.

The difference between the fair value of the Series D Preferred at December 31, 2009 of $8,805,140 and the redemption value of $10,000,000 will be accreted to interest expense over the period to redemption in January 2013 using the level yield method.  The carrying value at March 31, 2010 is $8,896,486.
 
5.  Shareholders’ Deficit
 
Preferred Stock:
 
As of April 1, 2010, the Company's Certificate of Designation for Series D Preferred was amended by adding a provision allowing for the conversion of the Series D Preferred at any time after one year after its issuance.  Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company as is determined by dividing the amount of $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like with respect to the Series D Preferred) by the Conversion Price (defined in the following sentence) applicable to such share in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion.  The Conversion Price per share of Series D Preferred is 80% of the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that in no event will the Conversion Price be less than $1.00 per share.

Effective April 15, 2010, the Company sold 200,000 shares of Series D Preferred for aggregate consideration of $2,000,000, which was paid pursuant to a promissory note that accrues interest at 5% per annum and is due in full on or before April 15, 2011 (See Note 13).
 
Stock Warrants:
 
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had 4,417 warrants outstanding for Class A Common Stock and 6,510,092 warrants outstanding for Class B Common Stock which are exercisable as follows:

On April 15, 2010, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (See Note 13).
 
Common Stock:
 
At the annual meeting of the shareholders held on March 31, 2010, the Company's shareholders voted to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each ten shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were combined and reclassified as one share of fully paid and nonassessable common stock.

 
11

 

At the same annual meeting of the shareholders on March 31, 2010, the Company's shareholders also voted to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorpration to create two classes of common stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.  The Articles authorize 75 million shares of common stock, of which 65 million shares are designated as Class A Common Stock and 10 million shares are designated as Class B Common Stock.  Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share, on any matter submitted to the shareholders.  Effective immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, each share of common stock outstanding was automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split and such conversion for all periods presented.
 
6.  Revenue
 
Fees Revenue
 
The Company  recognizes revenue in conjunction with a servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC.  CarePayment, LLC pays the Company a servicing fee equal to 5% annually of total funded receivables being serviced, an origination fee equal to 6% of the original balance of newly generated funded receivables, and a “back end fee” based on 25% of CarePayment, LLC’s quarterly net income, adjusted for certain items.  The Company recognized revenue related to this servicing agreement of $1,304,717 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
7.  Other Income (Expense)
 
Loss Reimbursement
 
The Company’s servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC provides for CarePayment, LLC to pay additional compensation equal to the Company’s actual monthly losses for the first quarter of 2010 and an amount equal to 50% of actual monthly losses for the second quarter of 2010.  This additional compensation is intended to reimburse the Company for transition costs that are not specifically identifiable.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded this loss reimbursement of $873,371 as other income.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense of $164,049 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 includes $91,346 of accretion of the discount on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock (See Note 4).  Interest expense of $77,770 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 includes $32,940 of amortization of debt discount.

9.  Employee Benefit Plans
 
Stock Incentive Plan
 
In February 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Company may grant restricted stock and stock options for the benefit of selected employees and directors. The Plan authorized grants of 878,338 shares of Class A Common Stock. Grants are issued at prices equal to the estimated fair market value of the stock as defined in the Plan on the date of the grant, vest over various terms (generally three years), and expire ten years from the date of the grant.  The Plan allows vesting based upon performance criteria; all current grants outstanding are time-based vesting instruments.  Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Plan).  The fair value of share based options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. A total of 91,308 shares of Class A Common Stock remained reserved for issuance under the Plan at March 31, 2010.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of options granted using a Black-Scholes option valuation model.  The Company recognizes the expense for grants of stock options on a straight-line basis in the statement of operations as operating expense based on their fair value over the requisite service period.

For stock options issued in February 2010, the following assumptions were used:

Expected life (in years)
    5.5  
Expected volatility
    40.90
Risk-free interest rate
    2.58
Expected dividend
     
Weighted average fair value per share
  $ 0.061  

Expected volatilities are based on historic volatilities from traded shares of a selected publicly traded peer group. Historic volatility has been calculated using the previous two years’ daily share closing price of the index companies. The Company has no historical data to estimate forfeitures. The expected term of options granted is the safe harbor period approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission using the vesting period and the contract life as factors. The risk-free rate for periods matching the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

A summary of option activity under the Plan as of March 31, 2010 and changes during the three months ended is presented below:

The Company recorded compensation expense for the estimated fair value of options issued of $18,429 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $29,580 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. The unamortized cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

401(k) Savings Plan
 
Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in a 401(k) Savings Plan.  The Company matches 100% of the first 3% of eligible compensation and 50% of the next 2% of eligible compensation that employees contribute to the plan; the Company’s matching contributions vest immediately.  The Company recorded expense of $11,051 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
10. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Operating Leases:
 
The Company and its subsidiaries lease office space and personal property used in their operations from Aequitas, an affiliate of the Company.  At March 31, 2010, the Company's aggregate future minimum payments for operating leases with the affiliate having initial or non-cancelable lease terms greater than one year are payable as follows:

Year
 
Required Minimum
Payment
 
2010
  $ 168,000  
2011
  $ 229,000  
2012
  $ 233,000

  $ 202,000  
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred rent expense of $56,058 and $15,000, respectively.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Litigation:
 
From time to time the Company may become involved in ordinary, routine or regulatory legal proceedings incidental to the Company’s business.  The Company is not engaged in any legal proceedings nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings that, singly or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
11.  Fair Value Measures
 
Fair Value:
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  It establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
 
Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 –
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
 
The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, related party receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short maturities of those instruments.

 
14

 

The fair value of the Company’s mandatorily redeemable Series D Preferred issued on December 30, 2009 (Note 4), was determined using a discounted cash flow on December 31, 2009; the assumptions used in the fair value calculation at December 31, 2009 would be the same at March 31, 2010.  The difference between the fair value at issue date and the redemption value is being accreted into expense over the period to redemption in January 2013 using the level yield method.  The carrying value of the Series D Preferred at March 31, 2010 is $8,896,486, which approximates fair value.

The fair value of the notes payable was calculated using our estimated borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  The Company’s estimated borrowing rate has not changed; therefore, the carrying amounts reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for notes payable approximate fair value.
 
12.  Related-Party Transactions

Effective January 1, 2010, Aequitas began providing CP Technologies certain management support services such as accounting, financial, human resources and information technology services, under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement dated December 31, 2009.  The total fee for the services is approximately $65,100 per month.  The fees will increase by 3% on January 1 of each year, beginning January 1, 2011.  Either party may change the services (including terminating a particular service) upon 180 days prior written notice to the other party, and the Administrative Services Agreement is terminable by either party on 180 days notice.  The Company paid fees under the Administrative Services Agreement to Aequitas of $195,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which are included in sales, general and administrative expense.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's operations and financial condition.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management's current view and estimates of future economic and market circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our future results to differ materially from the results discussed herein.  Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this filing.
 
Overview
 
CarePayment Technologies, Inc. (formerly microHelix, Inc.) (“we,” “us,” “our,” “CarePayment” or the “Company”) was incorporated as an Oregon corporation in 1991.  From inception until September 28, 2007, we manufactured custom cable assemblies and mechanical assemblies for the medical and commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) markets.  We were experiencing considerable competition by late 2006 as our customers aggressively outsourced competing products from offshore suppliers.  In the first quarter of 2007, a customer that accounted for over 30% of our revenues experienced a recall of one of its major products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  As a result the customer cancelled its orders with us, leaving us with large amounts of inventory on hand and significantly reduced revenue.

On May 31, 2007 we informed our three secured creditors, BFI Business Finance, VenCore Solution, LLC and MH Financial Associates, LLC ("MH Financial"), that we were unable to continue business operations due to continuing operating losses and a lack of working capital.  At that time we voluntarily surrendered our assets to these secured creditors, following which we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Moore Electronics, Inc. ("Moore"), operated for the benefit of the secured creditors until September 2007, when we ceased manufacturing operations and became a shell company.  MH Financial was, at that time, and currently is, an affiliate of ours due to its ownership of shares of our capital stock.

Following September 2007 and continuing until December 31, 2009, we had no operations.  Our Board of Directors, however, determined to maintain us as a shell company to seek opportunities to acquire a business or assets sufficient to operate a business.  To help facilitate our search for suitable business acquisition opportunities, among other goals, on June 27, 2008 we entered into an advisory services agreement with Aequitas Capital Management, Inc. (“Aequitas”) to provide us with strategy development, strategic planning, marketing, corporate development and other advisory services.  In exchange for the services to be provided by Aequitas under that agreement, we issued to Aequitas warrants to purchase 106,667 shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

Effective at the end of December 2009, we acquired certain assets and rights that enabled us to begin building a business that services accounts receivable for other parties.  The assets and rights we acquired had been previously developed by Aequitas and its affiliate, CarePayment, LLC, under the CarePayment® brand for servicing accounts receivable generated by hospitals in connection with providing health care services to their patients.  The assets and rights we acquired included the exclusive right to administer, service and collect patient accounts receivables generated by hospitals and purchased by CarePayment, LLC or its affiliates, and a proprietary software product that is used to manage the servicing.  Typically CarePayment, LLC or one of its affiliates purchase patient accounts receivable from hospitals and then we administer, service and collect them on behalf of CarePayment, LLC for a fee.  Although we intend to grow our business to include servicing of accounts receivable on behalf of other parties, currently CarePayment, LLC is our only customer.

To facilitate building the business, on December 30, 2009, we, Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC formed an Oregon limited liability company, CP Technologies LLC ("CP Technologies") (formerly WS Technologies LLC).  We contributed shares of our newly authorized Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred") and warrants to purchase shares of our Class B Common Stock to CP Technologies.  Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC contributed to CP Technologies the CarePayment® assets and rights described in the foregoing paragraph.  CP Technologies then distributed the shares of Series D Preferred to Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC, and the warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common to CarePayment, LLC, to redeem all but half of one membership unit (a "Unit") held by each of them.  Following these transactions, we own 99% of CP Technologies, and Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC each own 0.5% of CP Technologies as of December 31, 2009.

Aequitas and CarePayment, LLC are affiliates due to their common control by Aequitas Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”).  Aequitas is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.  CarePayment, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aequitas Commercial Finance, LLC (“ACF”), which itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.  On December 30, 2009, prior to the contribution of assets, Holdings and its affiliates owned 13.1% of the Company’s common stock and controlled 46.3% of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

Following the transactions described above, our current corporate structure and relationships with certain affiliates are depicted in the following diagram:

The Receivables Servicing Business

On January 1, 2010 and as a result of the transactions described above, CP Technologies began building a business to service hospital patient receivables for an affiliate of the Company, CarePayment, LLC.

Generally, a majority of a hospital's accounts receivable are paid by medical insurance, Medicare and Medicaid.  The balance of accounts receivable due directly from the patient is not always a priority for many hospitals, due primarily to the effort and expense required to collect those balances from individuals. CarePayment, LLC, acting alone or through its affiliates, purchases patient receivables from hospitals.  CP Technologies administers, services and collects the receivables; CarePayment, LLC maintains ownership of the receivables.

A patient whose health care receivable is acquired by CarePayment, LLC becomes a CarePayment® finance card customer and is issued a CarePayment® card, which has an initial outstanding balance equal to the receivable purchased by CarePayment, LLC.  Balances due on the CarePayment® card are generally payable over 25 months with no interest.  From the customer's point of view, the CarePayment® card functions much like a credit card even though CP Technologies advances no credit to the customer.  In addition to servicing the receivables, CP Technologies also analyzes potential receivable acquisitions for CarePayment, LLC and recommends a course of action when it determines that collection efforts for existing receivables are no longer effective.

In exchange for its services, CP Technologies receives origination fees at the time CarePayment, LLC purchases and delivers receivables to CP Technologies for servicing, a monthly servicing fee based on the total principal amount of receivables being serviced, and a quarterly fee based upon a percentage of CarePayment, LLC's quarterly net income.  CP Technologies' servicing agreement with CarePayment, LLC includes additional compensation during the first six months of 2010 to cover the Company’s start up costs as it builds a receivables servicing business.  This compensation is equal to the Company's actual monthly losses for the first quarter of 2010 and an amount equal to 50% of actual monthly losses for the second quarter of 2010.  The Company received $873,371 of such compensation from CarePayment, LLC in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

CP Technologies contracts with various vendors to service the CarePayment® finance card product, send customer statements, accept payments, and transmit all transaction history back to CP Technologies.  Since CP Technologies is responsible for the CarePayment® finance card's compliance with various laws and regulations relating to consumer credit, these vendors are selected for their specific expertise in such areas.

As of August 2010, no class of our securities is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and we are not subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act.  For additional information, see the Explanatory Notes in our amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  On April 30, 2010, we filed a Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to register our Class A Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.  We voluntarily withdrew the Form 10 on June 16, 2010 while we respond to comments to the Form 10 that we received from the staff of the SEC.  We intend to re-file the Form 10, but cannot predict when we will do so or, once re-filed, when the registration will be declared effective. 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company based the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which formed the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are certifications (the "Certifications") of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, which are required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act.  This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referenced in the Certifications.  This Item 4 should be read in conjunction with the Certifications for a more complete understanding of the matters presented.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of March 31, 2010.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level nor are they effective to give reasonable assurance that the information the Company must disclose in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission are properly recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as required, and that such information is not accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company restarted operations on January 1, 2010 and has not had sufficient time or financial resources to design and implement adequate disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company is in the process of doing so, and anticipates that it will complete these activities during 2010.

There were no changes to the Company’s internal controls during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
