NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of BioTelemetry, Inc.’s (“BioTelemetry,” “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” ) financial position as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited.  The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

Net Income (Loss)

We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.  The following summarizes the potential outstanding common stock as of the end of each period:

	September 30, 2015	September 30, 2014
Employee stock purchase plan estimated share options outstanding	36,106	93,875
Common stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding	4,311,443	4,122,261
Common stock available for grant	2,377,196	2,011,234
Common stock	27,259,735	26,652,984
Total	33,984,480	32,880,354

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including stock options and RSUs.

The following table presents the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2015		2014			2015		2014
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Basic net income (loss) per share	$	0.09	$	(0.00	)	$	0.17	$	(0.31	)

The following table presents the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended

Diluted net income (loss) per share	$	0.08	$	(0.00	)	$	0.16	$	(0.31	)

All outstanding vested options and RSUs would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Certain outstanding vested options and RSUs would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.  These outstanding vested options and RSUs could become dilutive in future periods.  Anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, short-term and long-term debt.  With the exception of the long-term debt, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature (classified as Level 1).  For long-term debt, based on the borrowing rates currently available, the nominal value, carrying value exclusive of debt discount, approximates fair value as of September 30, 2015 (classified as Level 2).  We did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. financial institutions or in custodial accounts with U.S. financial institutions.  Cash equivalents are defined as liquid investments and money market funds with maturity from date of purchase of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash and have minimal interest rate risk.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable related to the Patient Services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts.  The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed.  We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of receivables using historical company specific data.  The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections and the aging of receivables by payor.  Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates of collectability could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows.

Other receivables related to the Product and Research Services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, or when products are shipped or services are performed.  We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis and consider several factors in our analysis, including customer specific information and aging of the account.

We write off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote and when we believe collection efforts have been fully exhausted and we do not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect.  We perform write-offs on a monthly basis.  In the Patient Services segment, we wrote off $5,008 and $5,052 of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.  There were no material write-offs in the Product and Research Services segments.  We recorded bad debt expense of $2,245 and $6,769, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.  We recorded bad debt expense of $1,868 and $6,972, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or when events arise that could indicate that impairment exists.  The provisions of ASC 350 require that we perform a two-step impairment test.  In the first step, we compare the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units.  If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceeds the fair value of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units’ goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting units’ goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded.

For the purpose of performing our goodwill impairment analysis, we consider our business to be comprised of three reporting units: Patient Services, Product and Research Services.  We calculate the fair value of the reporting units utilizing a weighting of the income and market approaches.  The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that includes assumptions for, among other things, forecasted income, cash flow, growth rates, income tax rates, expected tax benefits and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgment.  The market approach utilizes our market data.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and the judgment applied in the analysis.  We believe that the combination of an income and a market approach provides a reasonable basis to estimate the fair value of our reporting units.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.  The new standard will require inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  The guidance will not apply to inventories for which cost is determined using the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method.  The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The new standard will require debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts.  Currently, debt issuance costs are presented as a deferred asset.  The recognition and measurement requirements will not change as a result of this guidance.  The standard is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and will be applied on a retrospective basis.  This amendment will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 and 2015-14, respectively, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition.  The new standards will require revenue recognized to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in which a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  The standards also requires new, expanded disclosures regarding revenue recognition.  The standards will be effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permissible beginning January 1, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

The change in the “Liability associated with the Civil Investigative Demand” was reclassified from the change in “Accrued and other liabilities” in the statement of cash flows at September 30, 2014 in order to conform to the presentation at September 30, 2015.

2.    Acquisitions

RadCore Lab, LLC

On June 3, 2014, we acquired the assets of RadCore Lab, LLC (“RadCore”), an imaging core lab serving the biopharmaceutical and medical device research market.  This acquisition broadens our offerings and adds new oncology, musculoskeletal and neurological imaging capabilities, supported by a state-of-the-art, cloud-based analysis platform.  We paid $400 in cash at closing and 22,513 shares of our common stock, valued at $200 at closing.  While this acquisition provides growth potential, the acquisition of RadCore did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Biomedical Systems Corporation

On April 3, 2014, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Biomedical Systems Corporation’s (“BMS”) cardiac event monitoring, Holter monitoring and mobile telemetry monitoring services.  The acquisition gave us access to internally developed Holter software and to established customer relationships.  We paid $8,000 in cash at closing and 62,859 shares of our common stock, valued at $650 at closing.  While the acquisition has been included within the consolidated results of operations and financial condition from the date of the acquisition, BMS did not have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had 284,423 performance share units (“PSUs”) outstanding.  The grant date value per PSU is $8.68.  During the second quarter of 2015, 200,000 performance stock options (“PSOs”) were granted.  There were no forfeitures or vesting of PSUs or PSOs during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Stock compensation expense will only be recognized once the performance conditions of the outstanding PSUs are deemed probable of achievement.  Stock compensation expense will only be recognized once the performance conditions of the outstanding PSOs have been met.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, no stock compensation expense has been recognized related to the performance shares.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 2015, 192,106 shares were purchased in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).  Net proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock under the ESPP for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $931.  In January 2015, the number of shares available for grant was increased by 267,240, per the ESPP documents.  At September 30, 2015, approximately 503,285 shares remain available for purchase under the ESPP.

6.Income Taxes

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the quarterly period in which they occur.  We review and update our estimated annual effective tax rate each quarter.  At September 30, 2015, our estimated annual effective tax rate was a provision of 5.57%.  Income tax expense of $260 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which includes a discrete charge of $117 related to a deferred tax liability recorded for indefinite lived intangibles.  At September 30, 2014, our estimated annual effective tax rate was (1.49%).  We recorded $2,869 of a tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the Mednet acquisition, which was partially offset by $246 in tax expense incurred primarily for state income tax.

As of September 30, 2015, in accordance with ASC 740, we maintained a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, with the exception of the deferred tax liability recorded for indefinite lived intangibles.  We will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until such time we can reasonably estimate the probability of realizing a benefit from the deferred tax assets.

9.Civil Investigative Demand

During the second quarter 2014, we reached an agreement in principle for the settlement of a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Western District of Washington.  As a result, a non-operating charge of $6,400 was recorded in the first half of 2014.  This reserve was recorded to “Interest and other loss, net” in the consolidated statements of operations and was included in “Accrued liabilities” on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.  During the first quarter 2015, the settlement agreement was finalized and we paid $6,400 to the Department of Justice.  As part of the settlement, we are not subject to any ongoing obligations or requirements.  The payment resulted in a reduction in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Accrued liabilities” on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 when compared to December 31, 2014.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  See the “Forward-Looking Statements” section at the beginning of this report.

Company Background

We provide cardiac monitoring services, cardiac monitoring device manufacturing and centralized core laboratory services.  We operate under three reportable segments: Patient Services, Product and Research Services.  The Patient Services segment is focused on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias, or heart rhythm disorders. We offer cardiologists and electrophysiologists with a full spectrum of solutions which provides them with a single source of cardiac monitoring services.  These services range from the differentiated Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (“MCT”) service marketed as Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry™ (“MCOT™”) or External Cardiac Ambulatory Telemetry (“ECAT”), to wireless and trans telephonic event, Holter, Pacemaker and International Normalized Ratio (“INR”) monitoring.  The Product segment focuses on the development, manufacturing, testing and marketing of medical devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals.  The Research Services segment is engaged in central core laboratory services providing cardiac monitoring, imaging, scientific consulting and data management services for pharmaceutical and medical device clinical trials.

Acquisitions

In June 2014, we completed the acquisition of the assets of RadCore Lab, LLC (“RadCore”), an imaging core lab serving the biopharmaceutical and medical device research market.  This acquisition broadens our offerings and adds new oncology, musculoskeletal and neurological imaging capabilities, supported by a state-of-the-art, cloud-based analysis platform.  RadCore is included in the Research Services segment.

14

In April 2014, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Biomedical Systems Corporation’s (“BMS”) cardiac event monitoring, Holter monitoring and mobile telemetry monitoring services.  The acquisition gave us access to internally developed Holter software and to established customer relationships and is primarily included in the Patient Services segment.

In January 2014, we completed the acquisition of Mednet Healthcare Technologies, Inc., Heartcare Corporation of America, Inc., Universal Medical, Inc., and Universal Medical Laboratory, Inc. (“Mednet”).  Mednet provides cardiac monitoring services and is an original equipment manufacturer of cardiac monitoring devices.  The acquisition gave us access to established customer relationships and is included in the Patient Services and Product segments.

Revenue Recognition

Patient Services

Patient Services revenue includes revenue from MCT, wireless and trans telephonic event, Holter, Pacemaker and INR monitoring services.  We receive a significant portion of our revenue from third party commercial insurance organizations and governmental entities.  We also receive reimbursement directly from patients through co-pays and self-pay arrangements.  Billings for services reimbursed by contracted third party payors, including Medicare, are recorded as revenue net of contractual allowances.  Adjustments to the estimated receipts, based on final settlement with the third party payors, are recorded upon settlement.  If we do not have sufficient historical information regarding collectability from a given payor to support revenue recognition at the time of service, revenue is recognized when cash is received.  Unearned amounts are appropriately deferred until the service has been completed.  For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, revenue from Medicare as a percentage of our Patient Services revenue was 43.0% and 42.0%, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, revenue from Medicare as a percentage of our Patient Services revenue was 41.6% and 40.8%, respectively.

Research Services

Research Services revenue includes revenue for core laboratory services, including cardiac monitoring, imaging, scientific consulting and data management services.  Our Research Services revenues are provided on a fee for service basis, and revenue is recognized as the related services are performed.  We also provide consulting services on a time and materials basis and this revenue is recognized as the services are performed.  Our site support revenue, consisting of equipment rentals and sales along with related supplies and logistics management, are recognized at the time of sale or over the rental period.  Under a typical contract, customers pay us a portion of our fee for these services upon contract execution as an upfront deposit, some of which is typically nonrefundable upon contract termination.  Unearned revenues, including upfront deposits, are deferred, and then recognized as the services are performed.

For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the revenue is allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices or management’s best estimate of their selling prices, when vendor-specific or third-party evidence is unavailable.

We record reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including freight, as revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Revenue generally is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to government authorities.

Product

Product revenue includes revenue received from the sale of products, product repairs and supplies to medical companies, clinics and hospitals.  Our product revenue is recognized when shipped, or as service is completed.

Reimbursement — Patient Services

We are dependent on reimbursement for our patient services by government and commercial insurance payors.  Medicare reimbursement rates for our MCT, event, Holter, Pacemaker and INR monitoring services have been established nationally by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and fluctuate periodically based on the annually published CMS rate table.

In addition to government reimbursement through Medicare, we have successfully secured contracts with most national and regional commercial payors for our monitoring services.

15

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable related to the Patient Services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts.  The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed.  We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of receivables using company specific historical data.  The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections and the aging of receivables by payor.  Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates of collectability could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows.

Other receivables related to the Product and Research Services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, or when products are shipped or services are performed.  We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis and consider several factors in our analysis, including customer specific information and the aging of the account.

We write off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote and when we believe collection efforts have been fully exhausted and we do not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect.  We perform write-offs on a monthly basis.  In the Patient Services segment, we wrote off $5.0 million and $5.1 million of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.  There were no material write-offs in the Product and Research Services segments.  We recorded bad debt expense of $2.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.  We recorded bad debt expense of $1.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Other Charges

Other charges are related to strategic acquisitions, cost reduction programs, reorganizations, litigation and facility closures, as well as other costs that are not considered part of our ongoing business operations.

Bad Debt Expense.   Bad debt expense was $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase of $0.3 million, or 20.2%, was due to the timing of revenue and collections.  As a percentage of total revenue, bad debt expense was 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 4.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Substantially all of our bad debt expense relates to the Patient Services segment.  Bad debt expense in the Research Services segment was minimal and is recorded on a specific account basis.

16

Research and Development Expense.   Research and development expense was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease of $0.4 million, or 21.5%, was due to a decrease in consulting expense related to our next generation device.  As a percent of total revenue, research and development expense was 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 4.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Other Charges.   During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred $1.4 million of other charges primarily related to legal fees for patent litigation.  For the three months ended September 30, 2015, other charges were 3.2% of total revenue.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred $1.0 million of other charges.  Severance and employee related costs of $0.9 million were associated with activities surrounding the 2014 acquisitions.  Legal charges of $0.1 million related primarily to legal fees for patent litigation and the Civil Investigative Demand which were net of a $0.9 million reversal of a legal accrual related to the Mednet acquisition.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, other charges were 2.4% of total revenue.

Interest and Other Loss, net.   Interest and other loss, net was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The $0.1 million increase was related to additional interest expense due to the expanded debt capacity that we secured in the fourth quarter 2014.

Income Taxes.   At September 30, 2015, our estimated annual effective tax rate was a provision of 5.57% and we had income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015.  At September 30, 2014, our estimated annual effective tax rate was a provision of 1.49% and $0.2 million of income tax expense was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Research and Development Expense.   Research and development expense was $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease of $0.5 million, or 10.1%, was due to a decrease in consulting expense related to our next generation device.  As a percent of total revenue, research and development expense was 3.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 4.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Other Charges.   During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred $4.5 million of other charges.  Legal charges of $4.2 million were primarily related to patent litigation.  The severance and employee related costs of $0.3 million were associated with integration activities surrounding our 2014 acquisitions.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, other charges were 3.4% of total revenue.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred $5.0 million of other charges.  Legal charges of $2.8 million related to patent litigation, the Civil Investigative Demand and acquisition related matters which were net of a $0.9 million reversal of a legal accrual related to the Mednet acquisition.  The severance and employee related costs of $1.7 million and professional fees of $0.5 million were associated with activities surrounding the 2014 acquisitions.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, other charges were 4.1% of total revenue.

Interest and Other Loss, net.   Interest and other loss, net was $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The $6.0 million decrease was due to the non-operating charge of $6.4 million that we recorded in 2014 for the settlement with the Department of Justice.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase related to additional interest expense due to the expanded debt capacity that we secured in the fourth quarter 2014.

Income Taxes.   At September 30, 2015, our estimated annual effective tax rate was 5.57% and we had income tax expense of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to a discrete charge related to a deferred tax liability recorded for indefinite lived intangibles.  At September 30, 2014, the estimated annual effective tax rate was a provision of 1.49% and we recorded $2.9 million of a tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the Mednet acquisition that occurred in January 2014.  This was partially offset by $0.2 million in tax expense incurred primarily for state income tax.

Net Income (Loss).   We recognized net income of $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a net loss of $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes a detailed discussion of our liquidity, contractual obligations and commitments.  The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in that Form 10-K.

As of September 30, 2015, our principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents of $15.5 million and net accounts receivable of $24.6 million.  We had working capital of $19.3 million as of September 30, 2015.

We generated $7.2 million of cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Our ongoing operations during this period resulted in a cash inflow of $4.6 million, which included $19.6 million of non-cash items primarily related to bad debt, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense.  These items were partially offset by the $6.4 million settlement paid to the Department of Justice and cash used for other working capital.

In addition, we used $10.3 million of cash for capital purchases primarily related to medical devices in the Patient and Research Services segments for use in our ongoing operations and an investment in internally developed software for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

In December 2014, we entered into a $25.0 million term loan and $15.0 revolving credit facility with The General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”) of which $17.4 million was used to repay the outstanding balances of existing loans.  Net proceeds of $6.2 million, after debt extinguishment, financing and closing fees and interest expense, were used to fund the settlement with the Department of Justice.  As of September 30, 2015, our revolving credit facility was undrawn.

18

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our cash balance as of September 30, 2015 was $15.5 million.  We do not invest in any short-term or long-term securities, nor do we use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

At September 30, 2015, we had $24.4 million of variable rate debt, exclusive of debt discounts, based off of LIBOR rates.  A change in LIBOR rates would result in an incremental change in interest expense.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in these reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

MedTel24, Inc. (“MedTel”) filed two motions seeking to invalidate the previously filed Consent Judgement which upheld five patents which we own. We then filed a motion seeking a finding of contempt in relation to MedTel’s ongoing infringement of our patents.

On July 22, 2015 and October 2, 2015, the Court upheld the enforceability of its previously issued Consent Judgment and issued an Order finding MedTel in contempt of the Consent Judgment. MedTel was ordered to return all of the Heartrak ECAT materials it improperly retained in violation of the Consent Judgment. MedTel complied with the Order. The Court will issue a separate Order addressing MedTel’s other potential violations of the Consent Judgment, our requests for lost profits, expenses, attorneys’ fees and sanctions.

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business and like others in the industry, we receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority or are involved in traditional employment or business litigation.  We review such requests and notices and take appropriate action.

The final outcome of any current or future litigation or governmental or internal investigations cannot be accurately predicted, nor can we predict any resulting penalties, fines or other sanctions that may be imposed at the discretion of federal or state regulatory authorities.  We record accruals for such contingencies to the extent that it concludes it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be projected.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

In evaluating an investment in BioTelemetry common stock, investors should consider carefully, among other things, the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as the information contained in this Quarterly Report and other reports and registration statements filed by us with the SEC.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of BioTelemetry, Inc.’s (“BioTelemetry,” “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” ) financial position as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited.  The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

Net Income (Loss)

We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.  The following summarizes the potential outstanding common stock as of the end of each period:

	September 30, 2015	September 30, 2014
Employee stock purchase plan estimated share options outstanding	36,106	93,875
Common stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding	4,311,443	4,122,261
Common stock available for grant	2,377,196	2,011,234
Common stock	27,259,735	26,652,984
Total	33,984,480	32,880,354

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including stock options and RSUs.

The following table presents the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2015		2014			2015		2014
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	2,478	$	(29	)	$	4,580	$	(8,139	)

Basic net income (loss) per share	$	0.09	$	(0.00	)	$	0.17	$	(0.31	)

The following table presents the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2015		2014			2015		2014
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Numerator:

Diluted net income (loss) per share	$	0.08	$	(0.00	)	$	0.16	$	(0.31	)

All outstanding vested options and RSUs would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Certain outstanding vested options and RSUs would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.  These outstanding vested options and RSUs could become dilutive in future periods.  Anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, short-term and long-term debt.  With the exception of the long-term debt, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature (classified as Level 1).  For long-term debt, based on the borrowing rates currently available, the nominal value, carrying value exclusive of debt discount, approximates fair value as of September 30, 2015 (classified as Level 2).  We did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. financial institutions or in custodial accounts with U.S. financial institutions.  Cash equivalents are defined as liquid investments and money market funds with maturity from date of purchase of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash and have minimal interest rate risk.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable related to the Patient Services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts.  The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed.  We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of receivables using historical company specific data.  The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections and the aging of receivables by payor.  Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates of collectability could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows.

Other receivables related to the Product and Research Services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, or when products are shipped or services are performed.  We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis and consider several factors in our analysis, including customer specific information and aging of the account.

We write off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote and when we believe collection efforts have been fully exhausted and we do not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect.  We perform write-offs on a monthly basis.  In the Patient Services segment, we wrote off $5,008 and $5,052 of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.  There were no material write-offs in the Product and Research Services segments.  We recorded bad debt expense of $2,245 and $6,769, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.  We recorded bad debt expense of $1,868 and $6,972, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or when events arise that could indicate that impairment exists.  The provisions of ASC 350 require that we perform a two-step impairment test.  In the first step, we compare the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units.  If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceeds the fair value of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units’ goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting units’ goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded.

For the purpose of performing our goodwill impairment analysis, we consider our business to be comprised of three reporting units: Patient Services, Product and Research Services.  We calculate the fair value of the reporting units utilizing a weighting of the income and market approaches.  The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that includes assumptions for, among other things, forecasted income, cash flow, growth rates, income tax rates, expected tax benefits and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgment.  The market approach utilizes our market data.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and the judgment applied in the analysis.  We believe that the combination of an income and a market approach provides a reasonable basis to estimate the fair value of our reporting units.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.  The new standard will require inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  The guidance will not apply to inventories for which cost is determined using the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method.  The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The new standard will require debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts.  Currently, debt issuance costs are presented as a deferred asset.  The recognition and measurement requirements will not change as a result of this guidance.  The standard is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and will be applied on a retrospective basis.  This amendment will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 and 2015-14, respectively, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition.  The new standards will require revenue recognized to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in which a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  The standards also requires new, expanded disclosures regarding revenue recognition.  The standards will be effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permissible beginning January 1, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Agreement

7.Credit Agreement

On December 30, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with The General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”), as agent for the lenders (“Lenders”), and as a Lender and swingline lender. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to make loans to us as follows; (i) Term Loans in an amount of $25,000 as of the closing date with an uncommitted ability to increase such Term Loans up to an amount not to exceed $10,000, and (ii) Revolving Loans up to $15,000, which remain undrawn as of September 30, 2015.  The loan is recorded on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 in the amount of $23,532, which is net of a debt discount of $843 related to fees paid to GE Capital.

The GE Loans bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 4.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.0%.  The outstanding principal of the Term Loan will be paid as follows; (i) beginning April 1, 2015, the principal amount of the Term Loan will be repaid, on a quarterly basis, in installments of $312, plus accrued interest, (ii) beginning January 1, 2018, the principal amount of the Term Loan will be repaid, on a quarterly basis, in installments of $625, plus accrued interest, and (iii) the remaining $16,563 will be paid in full on or before December 30, 2019, or such earlier date upon an acceleration of the Term Loan by the Lenders upon an event of default or termination by us.  The Loans are secured by substantially all of our assets and by a pledge of the capital stock of our U.S. based subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of Cardiocore Lab Ltd. and BioTelemetry Belgium BVBA.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and financial covenants regarding the operations of our business and certain negative covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant certain liens, make certain investments, merge or consolidate, make certain restricted payments and engage in certain asset dispositions, including a sale of all, or substantially all, of our property.  As of September 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants.

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the quarterly period in which they occur.  We review and update our estimated annual effective tax rate each quarter.  At September 30, 2015, our estimated annual effective tax rate was a provision of 5.57%.  Income tax expense of $260 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which includes a discrete charge of $117 related to a deferred tax liability recorded for indefinite lived intangibles.  At September 30, 2014, our estimated annual effective tax rate was (1.49%).  We recorded $2,869 of a tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the Mednet acquisition, which was partially offset by $246 in tax expense incurred primarily for state income tax.

As of September 30, 2015, in accordance with ASC 740, we maintained a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, with the exception of the deferred tax liability recorded for indefinite lived intangibles.  We will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until such time we can reasonably estimate the probability of realizing a benefit from the deferred tax assets.

Net Income (Loss)

Net Income (Loss)

We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.  The following summarizes the potential outstanding common stock as of the end of each period:

	September 30, 2015	September 30, 2014
Employee stock purchase plan estimated share options outstanding	36,106	93,875
Common stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding	4,311,443	4,122,261
Common stock available for grant	2,377,196	2,011,234
Common stock	27,259,735	26,652,984
Total	33,984,480	32,880,354

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including stock options and RSUs.

The following table presents the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2015		2014			2015		2014
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Basic net income (loss) per share	$	0.09	$	(0.00	)	$	0.17	$	(0.31	)

The following table presents the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2015		2014			2015		2014
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Diluted net income (loss) per share	$	0.08	$	(0.00	)	$	0.16	$	(0.31	)

All outstanding vested options and RSUs would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Certain outstanding vested options and RSUs would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.  These outstanding vested options and RSUs could become dilutive in future periods.  Anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, short-term and long-term debt.  With the exception of the long-term debt, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature (classified as Level 1).  For long-term debt, based on the borrowing rates currently available, the nominal value, carrying value exclusive of debt discount, approximates fair value as of September 30, 2015 (classified as Level 2).  We did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. financial institutions or in custodial accounts with U.S. financial institutions.  Cash equivalents are defined as liquid investments and money market funds with maturity from date of purchase of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash and have minimal interest rate risk.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable related to the Patient Services segment are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, net of contractual allowances, and are presented on the balance sheet net of allowance for doubtful accounts.  The ultimate collection of accounts receivable may not be known for several months after services have been provided and billed.  We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of receivables using historical company specific data.  The percentages and amounts used to record bad debt expense and the allowance for doubtful accounts are supported by various methods and analyses, including current and historical cash collections and the aging of receivables by payor.  Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates of collectability could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows.

Other receivables related to the Product and Research Services segments are recorded at the time revenue is recognized, or when products are shipped or services are performed.  We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis and consider several factors in our analysis, including customer specific information and aging of the account.

We write off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote and when we believe collection efforts have been fully exhausted and we do not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect.  We perform write-offs on a monthly basis.  In the Patient Services segment, we wrote off $5,008 and $5,052 of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The impact was a reduction of gross receivables and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.  There were no material write-offs in the Product and Research Services segments.  We recorded bad debt expense of $2,245 and $6,769, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.  We recorded bad debt expense of $1,868 and $6,972, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.  In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or when events arise that could indicate that impairment exists.  The provisions of ASC 350 require that we perform a two-step impairment test.  In the first step, we compare the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units.  If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceeds the fair value of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units’ goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting units’ goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded.

For the purpose of performing our goodwill impairment analysis, we consider our business to be comprised of three reporting units: Patient Services, Product and Research Services.  We calculate the fair value of the reporting units utilizing a weighting of the income and market approaches.  The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that includes assumptions for, among other things, forecasted income, cash flow, growth rates, income tax rates, expected tax benefits and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgment.  The market approach utilizes our market data.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and the judgment applied in the analysis.  We believe that the combination of an income and a market approach provides a reasonable basis to estimate the fair value of our reporting units.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.  The new standard will require inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  The guidance will not apply to inventories for which cost is determined using the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method.  The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The new standard will require debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts.  Currently, debt issuance costs are presented as a deferred asset.  The recognition and measurement requirements will not change as a result of this guidance.  The standard is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and will be applied on a retrospective basis.  This amendment will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 and 2015-14, respectively, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition.  The new standards will require revenue recognized to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in which a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  The standards also requires new, expanded disclosures regarding revenue recognition.  The standards will be effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permissible beginning January 1, 2017.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

The change in the “Liability associated with the Civil Investigative Demand” was reclassified from the change in “Accrued and other liabilities” in the statement of cash flows at September 30, 2014 in order to conform to the presentation at September 30, 2015.

8.Segment Information

We operate under three segments: Patient Services, Product and Research Services.  The Patient Services segment is focused on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders with our comprehensive suite of cardiac monitoring solutions in a healthcare setting.  The Product segment focuses on the development, manufacturing, testing and marketing of medical devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals.  Our Research Services segment is engaged in central core laboratory services providing cardiac monitoring, imaging, scientific consulting and data management services for drug and medical device trials. Intercompany revenue relating to the manufacturing of devices by the Product segment for the other segments is included on the intersegment revenue line.

Expenses that can be specifically identified with a segment have been included as deductions in determining pre-tax segment income.  Any remaining expenses, including research and development costs incurred by the Product segment for the benefit of the other segments, as well as the elimination of costs associated with intercompany revenue are included in Corporate and Other.  Also included in Corporate and Other is net interest expense and other financing expenses.  We do not allocate assets to the individual segments.

9.Civil Investigative Demand

During the second quarter 2014, we reached an agreement in principle for the settlement of a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Western District of Washington.  As a result, a non-operating charge of $6,400 was recorded in the first half of 2014.  This reserve was recorded to “Interest and other loss, net” in the consolidated statements of operations and was included in “Accrued liabilities” on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.  During the first quarter 2015, the settlement agreement was finalized and we paid $6,400 to the Department of Justice.  As part of the settlement, we are not subject to any ongoing obligations or requirements.  The payment resulted in a reduction in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Accrued liabilities” on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 when compared to December 31, 2014.
