3. Coronavirus Pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the CARES Act:

COVID-19 had an impact on the demand for medical services provided by the Company’s affiliated clinicians during the first half of 2020. Overall, the Company’s operating results were significantly impacted by COVID-19 beginning in mid-March 2020, but volumes began to normalize in mid-2020 and substantially recovered throughout 2020 with no material impacts from COVID-19 or its variants since that time.

Due to the continued uncertainties surrounding the timeline of and impacts from COVID-19 and with multiple variant strains still circulating, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of its securities at this time. The Company, however, believes it will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act is a relief package intended to assist many aspects of the American economy, including providing aid to the healthcare industry to reimburse healthcare providers for lost revenue and expenses attributable to COVID-19. The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) administered this program and began disbursing funds in April 2020, of which the Company’s affiliated physician practices within continuing operations received an aggregate of $13.3 million and $26.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In addition, the CARES Act also provided for deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of 2020, and while the Company utilized this deferral option throughout 2020, it repaid all of the deferred amounts as of December 31, 2022.
