Equity investment:

In October 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Digestive Health Specialists (“DHS”), located in North Carolina, to assist DHS in the development and management of a monitored anesthesia care program.  Under the terms of the agreement, CRH was a 15% equity owner in the anesthesia business, Triad Sedation Associates LLC (“TSA”) and received compensation for its billing and collection services.  Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, CRH had the right, at CRH’s option, to acquire an additional 36% interest in the anesthesia business at a future date, but no sooner than November 2019.  The Company assessed and concluded that, as TSA was an LLC, equity method accounting was required under ASC 970-323 until such time as a change in ownership interest occurred.  On November 1, 2019, the Company acquired control of TSA via the exercise of its option to acquire an additional 36% interest.  Refer to note 4.  The results of operations of the TSA equity investment, up to the date control was obtained by CRH, is presented below.  On obtaining control of TSA and completing its option to purchase an additional 36% interest in the entity, CRH revalued its original 15% equity investment with reference to the price paid for the additional 36% interest.  This resulted in a gain arising on its equity investment of $1,318,769 in the year.  Prior to obtaining control, CRH recorded equity income of $448,199 in relation to its 15% investment in TSA.
