Exhibits 39 Signatures 40 1 Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements that we make from time to time, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to anticipated future events, future results of operations or future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “could,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” “goals,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “possible,” “potential,” “target,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, without limitation, statements reflecting management’s expectations for future financial performance and operating expenditures (including our ability to continue as a going concern, to raise additional capital and to succeed in our future operations), expected growth, profitability and business outlook, increased sales and marketing expenses, and the expected results from the integration of our acquisitions. Forward-looking statements are only predictions, are uncertain and involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause our (or our industry’s) actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, the unknown risks and uncertainties that we believe could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements as set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements, including without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to: ● our ability to manage our growth, including acquiring, partnering with, and effectively integrating acquired businesses into our infrastructure and avoiding legal exposure and liabilities associated with acquired companies and assets; ● our ability to retain our clients and revenue levels, including effectively migrating new clients and maintaining or growing the revenue levels of our new and existing clients; ● our ability to maintain operations in our offshore offices in a manner that continues to enable us to offer competitively priced products and services; ● our ability to keep pace with a rapidly changing healthcare industry; ● our ability to consistently achieve and maintain compliance with a myriad of federal, state, foreign, local, payor and industry requirements, regulations, rules, laws and contracts; ● our ability to maintain and protect the privacy of confidential and protected Company, client and patient information; ● our ability to develop new technologies, upgrade and adapt legacy and acquired technologies to work with evolving industry standards and third-party software platforms and technologies, and protect and enforce all of these and other intellectual property rights; ● our ability to attract and retain key officers and employees, and the continued involvement of Mahmud Haq as Executive Chairman and A. Hadi Chaudhry as Chief Executive Officer and President, all of which are critical to our ongoing operations, growing our business and integrating of our newly acquired businesses; ● our ability to comply with covenants contained in our credit agreement with our senior secured lender, Silicon Valley Bank and other future debt facilities; ● our ability to pay our monthly preferred dividends to the holders of our Series A and Series B preferred stock; ● our ability to compete with other companies developing products and selling services competitive with ours, and who may have greater resources and name recognition than we have; ● our ability to respond to the uncertainty resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the impact it may have on our operations, the demand for our services, our projected results of operations, financial performance or other financial metrics or any of the foregoing risks and economic activity in general; ● our ability to keep and increase market acceptance of our products and services; ● changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; and ● other factors disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our other filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations, beliefs and views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our assessments to change. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we currently expect. The forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as representing our assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 2 PART I.

In 2004, the Company formed MTBC Private Limited (or “MTBC Pvt. Ltd.”), a 99.9 % majority-owned subsidiary of CareCloud based in Pakistan. The remaining 0.1 % of the shares of MTBC Pvt. Ltd. is equally owned by the founder and Executive Chairman of CareCloud and a local employee who is also a director of this entity. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company formed MTBC Bagh Private Limited (or “MTBC Bagh Pvt. Ltd.”), a 99.8 % majority-owned subsidiary of CareCloud based in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, a region administered by Pakistan. The remaining 0.2 % of the shares of MTBC Bagh Pvt. Ltd. is equally owned by the founder and Executive Chairman of CareCloud and the same director/employee as above. In 2016, the Company formed MTBC Acquisition Corp. (“MAC”), a Delaware corporation, in connection with its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of MediGain, LLC and its subsidiary, Millennium Practice Management Associates, LLC (together “MediGain”). MAC has a wholly owned subsidiary in Sri Lanka, RCM MediGain Colombo, Pvt. Ltd. In May 2018, the Company formed CareCloud Practice Management, Corp. (“CPM”), a Delaware corporation, to operate the medical practice management business acquired from Orion Healthcorp. In January 2020, the Company purchased CareCloud Corporation, a company whose name we took. That company is now known as CareCloud Health, Inc. (“CCH”). In June 2020, the Company purchased Meridian Billing Management Co. and its affiliate Origin Holdings, Inc. (collectively “Meridian” and sometimes referred to as “Meridian Medical Management”). Both companies were subsequently merged and the surviving company was renamed Meridian Medical Management, Inc. During March 2021, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, CareCloud Acquisition, Corp. (“CAC”). In June 2021, CAC purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of MedMatica Consulting Associates Inc., (“MedMatica”) and purchased the stock of Santa Rosa Staffing, Inc., (“SRS”). The assets and liabilities of MedMatica were merged into SRS and the company was renamed medSR, Inc. (“medSR”). See Note 3. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 8-03. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 8 The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, including subsequent codification improvements, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It will apply to all entities. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. This may result in the earlier recognition of credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which delays this standard’s effective date for SEC smaller reporting companies to the fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2022. The Company is in the process of determining if this update will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update require acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is in the process of determining if this update will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. 9 3. ACQUISITIONS 2021 Acquisition On June 1, 2021, CAC entered into an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with MedMatica and its sole shareholder. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, CAC acquired (i) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of SRS, a Delaware corporation, and (ii) all of the MedMatica assets that were used in MedMatica’s and SRS’ business. Certain MedMatica liabilities were also assumed under the Purchase Agreement. The total cash consideration was $ 10 million plus a working capital adjustment of approximately $ 3.8 million. The Purchase Agreement also provides that if during the 18-month period commencing on June 1, 2021 (the “Earn-Out Period”), certain EBITDA and revenue targets with respect to the assets and capital stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement are achieved, then CAC shall pay MedMatica an earn-out up to a maximum of $ 8 million. Further, if during the Earn-Out Period, certain additional and increased EBITDA and revenue targets with respect to the assets and capital stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement are achieved, then CAC shall pay MedMatica an additional earn-out, up to a maximum of $ 5 million. MedMatica and SRS were in the business of providing a broad range of specialty consulting services to hospitals and large healthcare groups, including certain consulting services related to healthcare IT application services and implementations, medical practice management, and revenue cycle management. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. A summary of the total consideration is as follows: SUMMARY OF TOTAL CONSIDERATION ON BUSINESS CONSIDERATION medSR Purchase Price ($ in thousands) Cash $ 12,261 Amounts held in escrow 1,571 Contingent consideration 5,605 Total purchase price $ 19,437 The Company engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist the Company in valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from MedMatica. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation. SCHEDULE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED ($ in thousands) Accounts receivable $ 2,696 Receivable from seller 227 Prepaid expenses 102 Unbilled receivables 2,491 Property and equipment 84 Customer relationships 3,100 Acquired backlog 490 Goodwill 11,931 Accounts payable ( 539 ) Accrued expenses & compensation ( 1,125 ) Deferred revenue ( 20 ) Total purchase price allocation $ 19,437 The acquired accounts receivable is recorded at fair value, which represents amounts that have subsequently been paid or were expected to be paid by clients. The fair value of customer relationships was based on the estimated discounted cash flows generated by these intangibles. The goodwill represents the Company’s ability to have an expanded local presence in additional markets and operational synergies that we expect to achieve that would not be available to other market participants. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible ratably for income tax purposes over fifteen years. The purchase agreement provides that if revenue and EBITDA over the next 18 months exceeds certain specified amounts, there will be an earn-out payment to the seller equal to such excess, up to $ 13 million. It was estimated that the probable payment will be approximately $ 5.6 million and this amount was recorded as part of the purchase price allocation as contingent consideration. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company determined that the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $ 200,000 and $ 3.1 million, respectively, based in part on the actual operating results since the acquisition. The difference in the contingent consideration between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 has been recorded as a change in contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of operations. 10 As part of the acquisition, $ 1.5 million of the purchase price was held in escrow, which represented $ 500,000 to be paid upon the achievement of agreed-upon revenue and backlog milestones, and the balance to be held for up to 18 months to satisfy certain indemnification obligations. During the third quarter of 2021, the initial portion of the escrow was settled whereby $ 250,000 was paid to the seller and $ 250,000 was offset against the working capital adjustment. An additional $ 71,000 that was held in escrow was also paid. The balance of the $ 1 .0 million escrow is included in consideration payable and restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022. Approximately $ 12.3 million in cash was paid at closing. The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets is approximately three years . Revenue earned from the clients obtained from the medSR acquisition was approximately $ 6.4 million and $ 22.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The medSR acquisition added additional clients to the Company’s customer base and, similar to previous acquisitions, broadened the Company’s presence in the healthcare information technology industry through expansion of its customer base and by increasing available customer relationship resources and specialized trained staff. Pro forma financial information (Unaudited) The unaudited pro forma information below represents the consolidated results of operations as if the medSR acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021. The pro forma information has been included for comparative purposes and is not indicative of results of operations that the Company would have had if the acquisition occurred on the above date, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. The unaudited pro forma information reflects material, non-recurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination. The difference between the actual revenue and the pro forma revenue is approximately $ 17.8 million of additional revenue recorded by medSR for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Other differences arise from amortizing purchased intangibles using the double declining balance method.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS-NET Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. The following is the summary of the changes to the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021: SCHEDULE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Nine Months Ended Year Ended September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 ($ in thousands) Beginning gross balance $ 61,186 $ 49,291 Acquisition, net of adjustments - 11,895 Ending gross balance $ 61,186 $ 61,186 11 Intangible assets include customer contracts and relationships and covenants not-to-compete acquired in connection with acquisitions, as well as trademarks acquired and software costs. Intangible assets – net as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF FINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 ($ in thousands) Contracts and relationships acquired $ 47,597 $ 47,597 Capitalized software 19,302 13,196 Non-compete agreements 1,236 1,236 Other intangible assets 8,399 8,396 Total intangible assets 76,534 70,425 Less: Accumulated amortization 46,775 39,647 Intangible assets - net $ 29,759 $ 30,778 Other intangible assets primarily represent acquired software and purchased intangibles. Amortization expense was approximately $ 7.3 million and $ 8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The weighted-average amortization period is three years . As of September 30, 2022, future amortization scheduled to be expensed is as follows: SCHEDULE OF FINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, FUTURE AMORTIZATION EXPENSE Years ending December 31, ($ in thousands) 2022 (three months) $ 4,016 2023 12,275 2024 8,122 2025 3,996 2026 300 Thereafter 1,050 Total $ 29,759 5. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE The following table reconciles the weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: SCHEDULE OF LOSSES PER SHARE, BASIC AND DILUTED 2022 2021 2022 2021 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 ($ in thousands, except share and per share amounts) Basic and Diluted: Net loss attributable to common shareholders $ ( 2,793 ) $ ( 2,137 ) $ ( 6,729 ) $ ( 11,094 ) Weighted-average common shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share 15,148,721 14,737,103 15,070,913 14,419,968 Net loss attributable to common shareholders per share - basic and diluted $ ( 0.18 ) $ ( 0.15 ) $ ( 0.45 ) $ ( 0.77 ) At September 30, 2022, the 480,526 unvested equity restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as discussed in Note 12 and 1,253,489 unexercised warrants expiring between October 2022 and September 2023 with exercise prices between $ 3.92 to $ 10.00 have been excluded from the above calculations as they were anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2021, the 280,496 unvested equity RSUs and 3,152,140 unexercised warrants have been excluded from the above calculations as they were anti-dilutive. Vested RSUs, vested restricted shares and exercised warrants have been included in the above calculations. 12 6. DEBT SVB — During October 2017, the Company opened a revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) under a three-year agreement. The SVB credit facility is a secured revolving line of credit where borrowings are based on a formula of 200 % of repeatable revenue adjusted by an annualized attrition rate as defined in the credit agreement. During the third quarter of 2018, the credit line was increased from $ 5 million to $ 10 million and the term was extended for an additional year. During the third quarter of 2021, the credit line was further increased to $ 20 million and the term was extended for another year. As of September 30, 2022, there was no borrowing under the credit facility. Interest on the SVB revolving line of credit is currently charged at the prime rate plus 1.50 % with a minimum rate of 6.50 % . There is also a fee of one-half of 1% annually for the unused portion of the credit line . The debt is secured by all of the Company’s domestic assets and 65 % of the shares in its offshore subsidiaries. Future acquisitions are subject to approval by SVB. In connection with the original SVB debt agreement, the Company paid SVB approximately $ 50,000 of fees upfront and issued warrants for SVB to purchase 125,000 shares of its common stock. Based on the terms in the original SVB credit agreement, these warrants had a strike price equal to $ 3.92 . They also had a five -year exercise window and net exercise rights, and were valued at $ 3.12 per warrant. As a result of the revision in the SVB credit line, which increased the credit line from $ 5 million to $ 10 million and reduced the interest rate by 25 basis points, the Company paid approximately $ 50,000 of fees upfront and issued an additional 28,489 warrants, with a strike price equal to $ 5.26 , a five -year exercise window and net exercise rights. The additional warrants were valued at $ 3.58 per warrant. The SVB credit agreement contains various covenants and conditions governing the revolving line of credit including a current annual fee of $ 100,000 . These covenants include a minimum level of adjusted EBITDA and a minimum liquidity ratio. At September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. During January 2022, the agreement with SVB was modified to allow the Company to issue Series B Preferred Stock and pay monthly dividends on this stock, to use a portion of the offering proceeds to redeem a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock that is outstanding and to allow for the potential exchange of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for Series B Preferred Stock. Vehicle Financing Notes — The Company financed certain vehicle purchases both in the United States and in Pakistan. The vehicle financing notes have three to six year terms and were issued at current market rates. Insurance Financing — The Company finances certain insurance purchases over the term of the policy life. The interest rate charged is currently 4.55 % . 7. LEASES We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office and temporary living space as well as for some office equipment. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liability and non-current operating lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company does not have any finance leases. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, which are derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to our bank financing arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. Our lease terms include options to extend the lease when we believe that we may want the right to exercise that option. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. For real estate leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Some leases include escalation clauses and termination options that are factored in the determination of the lease payments when appropriate. 13 If a lease is modified after the effective date, the operating lease ROU asset and liability are re-measured using the current incremental borrowing rate. We review our incremental borrowing rate for our portfolio of leases on a quarterly basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were approximately $ 257,000 and $ 786,000 , respectively, of unoccupied lease charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were approximately $ 220,000 and $ 686,000 , respectively, of unoccupied lease charges for two of the Company’s facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was a gain on lease termination of approximately $ 105,000 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded approximately $ 775,000 of impairment charges on a vendor contract. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, a facility lease was terminated in conjunction with the Company ceasing its document storage services resulting in additional costs of approximately $ 51,000 and $ 248,000 , respectively. This amount is included in Net loss on lease terminations, impairment and unoccupied lease charges in the consolidated statements of operations. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company decided to terminate one of its leases in Pakistan which expired as of the end of the year. The Company did not renew this lease and consolidated its employees into the remaining facilities. As a result of the termination, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $ 18,000 which has been included in Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges in the September 30, 2021 consolidated statements of operations. Lease expense is included in direct operating costs and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based on the nature of the expense. As of September 30, 2022, we had 32 leased properties, five in Medical Practice Management and 27 in Healthcare IT, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to fourteen years. Our lease terms are determined taking into account lease renewal options, the Company’s anticipated operating plans and leases that are on a month-to-month basis. The Company also has some related party leases – see Note 9. The components of lease expense were as follows: SCHEDULE OF LEASE EXPENSE 2022 2021 2022 2021 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 ($ in thousands) Operating lease cost $ 921 $ 1,066 $ 2,798 $ 3,181 Short-term lease cost 4 22 79 65 Variable lease cost 5 11 24 25 Total-net lease cost $ 930 $ 1,099 $ 2,901 $ 3,271 Short-term lease cost represents leases that were not capitalized as the lease term as of the later of January 1, 2022 or the beginning of the lease was less than 12 months.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings — On May 30, 2018, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Somerset County (the “Chancery Court”) denied CareCloud’s and MTBC Acquisition Corp.’s (“MAC’s”) request to enjoin an arbitration proceeding demanded by Randolph Pain Relief and Wellness Center (“RPRWC”) related to RCM services provided by parties unaffiliated with CareCloud or MAC. On June 15, 2018, CareCloud and MAC filed an appeal of the Chancery Court’s decision with the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division. On July 19, 2018, the Chancery Court ordered that the arbitration be stayed pending CareCloud’s and MAC’s appeal. On appeal, CareCloud and MAC contended they were never party to the billing services agreement giving rise to the arbitration claim, did not assume the obligations of Millennium Practice Management Associates, Inc. (“MPMA”) under such agreement, and any agreement to arbitrate disputes arising under such agreement did not apply to CareCloud or MAC as RPRWC terminated the agreement before the applicable asset purchase agreement took effect. On January 30, 2019, the parties conducted oral arguments before the Appellate Division. On April 23, 2019, the Appellate Division affirmed in part and reversed in part the trial court’s order. The Appellate Division upheld the portion of the trial court’s order requiring MAC to participate in the arbitration based on the trial court’s finding that MAC had assumed MPMA’s contractual responsibilities. The Appellate Division reversed the trial court’s order requiring CareCloud to participate in the arbitration on the grounds that insufficient facts had been provided by RPRWC from which the court could conclude CareCloud was required to participate in the arbitration. As a result, the Appellate Division remanded the issue of whether Company is required to participate in the arbitration back to the trial court for further proceedings. The parties completed discovery in the remanded matter on November 29, 2019, and thereafter both CareCloud and RPRWC filed cross-motions for summary judgment in their favor. On February 6, 2020, the Chancery Court denied RPRWC’s motion for summary judgment and granted CareCloud’s cross-motion for summary judgment. The Chancery Court held that CareCloud cannot be compelled to participate in the Arbitration. RPRWC has informed CareCloud that it does not intend to appeal the Chancery Court’s ruling and that it intends to move forward solely against MAC. On March 25, 2020, the Chancery Court lifted the stay of arbitration relative to RPRWC and MAC. In its arbitration demand, RPRWC alleges that MPMA, a subsidiary of MediGain, LLC, breached the terms of the billing services agreement the parties had entered into and sought compensatory damages of $ 6.6 million and costs. On May 28, 2020, the arbitrator handling the matter conducted a scheduling conference with the parties in order to establish deadlines for the parties to exchange discovery requests and responses. During the conference, the arbitrator directed RPRWC to produce a statement of damages on which it bases its claim. RPRWC disclosed its statement of damages to MAC on June 12, 2020. RPRWC’s June 12, 2020 statement of damages increased its alleged damages from $ 6.6 million and costs to $ 20 million and costs. On July 24, 2020, RPRWC disclosed a declaration to MAC, in which RPRWC estimates its damages to be approximately $ 11 million plus costs. RPRWC then served expert reports in November 2021, whereby RPRWC’s expert alleged that damages were estimated to be in the range of $ 9.8 million to $ 10.8 million. MAC has served an expert report refuting the alleged damages. A hearing was held in this matter over four days in June 2022. Testimony regarding alleged damages, and MAC’s defenses and refutation of the alleged damages thereto, was given at the hearing in line with the expert reports exchanged in discovery. Written closing arguments were submitted by both parties to the arbitrator in October 2022. While the allegations of breach of contract made by RPRWC are the subject of the ongoing legal proceedings, MAC believes RPRWC’s allegations lack merit on numerous grounds. MAC continues to vigorously defend against RPRWC’s claim and is currently awaiting the arbitrator’s ruling. Based on RPRWC’s most recent calculation of its claimed damages, the possible loss arising from this matter may be between $ 0 to $ 10.8 million. However, since MAC is not a significant subsidiary of CareCloud pursuant to Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, and CareCloud is not a party to this proceeding, we do not expect any outcome to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we may become involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Including the proceeding described above, we are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. 16 9. RELATED PARTIES The Company had sales to a related party, a physician who is the wife of the Executive Chairman. Revenues from this customer were approximately $ 16,000 and $ 15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $ 5,000 and $ 6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the receivable balance due from this customer was approximately $ 6,000 and $ 3,000 , respectively. The Company was a party to a nonexclusive aircraft dry lease agreement with Kashmir Air, Inc. (“KAI”), which was owned by the Executive Chairman.

All revenue is recognized as our performance obligations are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under ASC 606. For revenue cycle management services, the Company recognizes revenue when services begin on medical billing claims, which is generally upon receipt of the claim from the provider. The Company estimates the value of the consideration it will earn over the remaining contractual period as services are provided and recognizes the fees over the term; this estimation involves predicting the amounts our clients will ultimately collect associated with the services they provided. Certain significant estimates, such as payment-to-charge ratios, effective billing rates and the estimated contractual payment periods are required to measure revenue cycle management revenue under the standard. Most of our current contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation. For contracts where we provide multiple services, such as where we perform multiple ancillary services, each service represents its own performance obligation. The standalone selling prices are based on the contractual price for the service. We apply the portfolio approach as permitted by ASC 606 as a practical expedient to contracts with similar characteristics and we use estimates and assumptions when accounting for those portfolios. Our contracts generally include standard commercial payment terms. We have no significant obligations for refunds, warranties or similar obligations and our revenue does not include taxes collected from our customers. 18 Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers We derive revenue from five primary sources: (1) technology-enabled business solutions, (2) professional services, (3) printing and mailing services, (4) group purchasing services and (5) medical practice management services. The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30: SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE 2022 2021 2022 2021 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 ($ in thousands) Healthcare IT: Technology-enabled business solutions $ 21,626 $ 27,086 $ 68,457 $ 80,076 Professional services 7,434 6,863 25,572 10,978 Printing and mailing services 594 429 1,515 1,084 Group purchasing services 310 300 602 659 Medical Practice Management: Medical practice management services 3,759 3,626 10,146 9,340 Total $ 33,723 $ 38,304 $ 106,292 $ 102,137 Revenues $ 33,723 $ 38,304 $ 106,292 $ 102,137 Technology-enabled business solutions: Revenue derived on an on-going basis from our technology-enabled solutions is typically billed as a percentage of payments collected by our customers. Revenue cycle management services are the recurring process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies in order for the healthcare providers to receive payment for the services they rendered. The Company typically invoices customers on a monthly basis based on the actual collections received by its customers and the agreed-upon rate in the sales contract. The fee for these services typically includes use of practice management software and related tools (on a SaaS basis), electronic health records (on a SaaS basis), medical billing services and use of mobile health solutions. We consider the services to be one performance obligation since the promises are not distinct in the context of the contract. The performance obligation consists of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers. In many cases, our clients may terminate their agreements with 90 days’ notice without cause, thereby limiting the term in which we have enforceable rights and obligations, although this time period can vary between clients. Our payment terms are normally net 30 days. Although our contracts typically have stated terms of one or more years, under ASC 606 our contracts are considered month-to-month and accordingly, there is no financing component. For the majority of our revenue cycle management contracts, the total transaction price is variable because our obligation is to process an unknown quantity of claims, as and when requested by our customers over the contract period. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimates to determine variable consideration, such as payment to charge ratios, effective billing rates, and the estimated contractual payment periods, are updated at each reporting date. Revenue is recognized over the performance period using the input method. Our proprietary, cloud-based practice management application automates the labor-intensive workflow of a medical office in a unified and streamlined SaaS platform. The Company has a large number of clients who utilize the Company’s practice management software, electronic health records software, patient experience management solutions, business intelligence software and/or robotic process automation software on a SaaS basis, but who do not utilize the Company’s revenue cycle management services. SaaS fees may be fixed based on the number of providers, or may be variable. 19 The medical billing clearinghouse service takes claim information from customers, checks the claims for errors and sends this information electronically to insurance companies. The Company invoices customers on a monthly basis based on the number of claims submitted and the agreed-upon rate in the agreement. This service is provided to medical practices and providers to medical practices who are not revenue cycle management customers. The performance obligation is satisfied once the relevant submissions are completed. Additional services such as coding, credentialing and transcription are sometimes rendered in connection with the delivery of revenue cycle management and related medical services. The Company invoices customers monthly, based on the actual amount of services performed at the agreed-upon rate in the contract. These services are only offered to revenue cycle management customers. These services do not represent a material right because the services are optional to the customer and customers electing these services are charged the same price for those services as if they were on a standalone basis. Each individual coding, credentialing or transcription transaction processed represents a performance obligation, which is satisfied over time as that individual service is rendered. Professional services: Our professional services include an extensive set of services including EHR vendor-agnostic optimization and activation, project management, IT transformation consulting, process improvement, training, education and staffing for large healthcare organizations including health systems and hospitals. Revenue is recorded monthly on a time and materials or a fixed rate basis. This is a separate performance obligation from any RCM or SaaS services provided, for which the Company receives and records monthly fees. The performance obligation is satisfied over time as the professional services are rendered. Printing and mailing services: The Company provides printing and mailing services for both revenue cycle management customers and a non- revenue cycle management customer, and invoices on a monthly basis based on the number of prints, the agreed-upon rate per print and the postage incurred. The performance obligation is satisfied once the printing and mailing is completed. Group purchasing services: The Company provides group purchasing services which enable medical providers to purchase various vaccines directly from selected pharmaceutical companies at a discounted price. Currently, there are approximately 4,000 medical providers who are members of the program. Revenue is recognized as the vaccine shipments are made to the medical providers. Fees from the pharmaceutical companies are paid either quarterly or annually and the Company adjusts its revenue accrual at the time of payment. The Company makes significant judgments regarding the variable consideration which we expect to be entitled to for the group purchasing services which includes the anticipated shipments to the members enrolled in the program, anticipated volumes of purchases made by the members, and the changes in the number of members. The amounts recorded are constrained by estimates of decreases in shipments and loss of members to avoid a significant revenue reversal in the subsequent period. The only performance obligation is to provide the pharmaceutical companies with the medical providers who want to become members in order to purchase vaccines. The performance obligation is satisfied once the medical provider agrees to purchase a specific quantity of vaccines and the medical provider’s information is forwarded to the vaccine suppliers. The Company records a contract asset for revenue earned and not paid as the ultimate payment is conditioned on achieving certain volume thresholds. For all of the above revenue streams other than group purchasing services, revenue is recognized over time, which is typically one month or less, which closely matches the point in time that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. For the group purchasing services, revenue is recognized at a point in time. Each service is substantially the same and has the same periodic pattern of transfer to the customer. Each of the services provided above is considered a separate performance obligation. Medical practice management services: The Company also provides medical practice management services under long-term management service agreements to three medical practices. We provide the medical practices with the nurses, administrative support, facilities, supplies, equipment, marketing, RCM, accounting, and other non-clinical services needed to efficiently operate their practices. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided to the medical practices. Revenue recorded in the consolidated statements of operations represents the reimbursement of costs paid by the Company for the practices and the management fee earned each month for managing the practice. The management fee is based on either a fixed fee or a percentage of the net operating income. 20 The Company assumes all financial risk for the performance of the managed medical practices. Revenue is impacted by the amount of the costs incurred by the practices and their operating income. The gross billing of the practices is impacted by billing rates, changes in current procedural terminology code reimbursement and collection trends which in turn impacts the management fee that the Company is entitled to. Billing rates are reviewed at least annually and adjusted based on current insurer reimbursement practices. The performance obligation is satisfied as the management services are provided. Our contracts for medical practice management services have approximately an additional 20 years remaining and are only cancellable under very limited circumstances. The Company receives a management fee each month for managing the day-to-day business operations of each medical group as a fixed fee or a percentage payment of the net operating income which is included in revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Our medical practice management services obligations consist of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same periodic pattern of transfer to our customers. Revenue is recognized over time, however for reporting and convenience purposes, the management fee is computed at each month end. Information about contract balances: As of September 30, 2022, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to the remaining revenue cycle management performance obligations outstanding was approximately $ 3.9 million. We expect to recognize substantially all of the revenue for the remaining performance obligations over the next three months . Approximately $ 500,000 of the contract asset represents revenue earned, but not yet paid, from the group purchasing services. Amounts that we are entitled to collect under the applicable contract are recorded as accounts receivable. Invoicing is performed at the end of each month when the services have been provided. The contract asset includes our right to payment for services already transferred to a customer when the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. For example, contracts for revenue cycle management services where we recognize revenue over time but do not have a contractual right to payment until the customer receives payment of their claim from the insurance provider. The contract asset also includes the revenue accrued, not received, for the group purchasing services. Changes in the contract asset are recorded as adjustments to net revenue. The changes primarily result from providing services to revenue cycle management customers that result in additional consideration and are offset by our right to payment for services becoming unconditional and changes in the revenue accrued for the group purchasing services. The contract asset for our group purchasing services is reduced when we receive payments from vaccine manufacturers and is increased for revenue earned, not received. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, contract asset and deferred revenue are as follows: SCHEDULE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CONTRACT ASSET AND DEFERRED REVENUE Accounts Receivable, Net Contract Asset Deferred Revenue (current) Deferred Revenue (long term) ($ in thousands) Balance as of January 1, 2022 $ 17,006 $ 4,725 $ 1,085 $ 341 (Decrease) increase, net ( 725 ) ( 318 ) 332 49 Balance as of September 30, 2022 $ 16,281 $ 4,407 $ 1,417 $ 390 Balance as of January 1, 2021 $ 12,089 $ 4,105 $ 1,173 $ 305 medSR acquisition 2,705 2,402 20 - Increase (decrease), net 3,300 ( 1,846 ) ( 104 ) ( 89 ) Balance as of September 30, 2021 $ 18,094 $ 4,661 $ 1,089 $ 216 21 Deferred commissions: Our sales incentive plans include commissions payable to employees and third parties at the time of initial contract execution that are capitalized as incremental costs to obtain a contract. The capitalized commissions are amortized over the period the related services are transferred. As we do not offer commissions on contract renewals, we have determined the amortization period to be the estimated client life, which is three years. Deferred commissions were approximately $ 692,000 and $ 922,000 at September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in the other assets amounts in the consolidated balance sheets. 12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In April 2014, the Company adopted the Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”), reserving 1,351,000 shares of common stock for grants to employees, officers, directors and consultants. On April 14, 2017, the Original Plan was amended and restated whereby an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were added to the plan for future issuance (the “A&R Plan”). During 2018, an additional 200,000 of Series A Preferred Stock were added to the A&R Plan for future issuance. In May 2020, an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock and an additional 300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were added to the A&R Plan for future issuance. During 2022, an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock and 200,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were added to the A&R Plan for future issuance. Some of the Series A Preferred Stock shares were subsequently redesignated as Series B Preferred Stock and were removed from the A&R Plan. As of September 30, 2022, 1,621,747 shares of common stock, 33,769 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 120,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are available for grant. Permissible awards include incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, performance stock and cash-settled awards and other stock-based awards in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors including unrestricted stock grants. The equity-based RSUs contain a provision in which the units shall immediately vest and become converted into common shares at the rate of one share per RSU, immediately after a change in control, as defined in the award agreement. Common and preferred stock RSUs In February 2022, the Compensation Committee approved executive bonuses to be paid in shares of Series B Preferred Stock, with the number of shares and the amount based on specified criteria being achieved during the year 2022. The actual amount of shares will be settled in early 2023 based on the achievement of the specified criteria. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an expense of approximately $ 644,000 was recorded for these bonuses based on the value of the shares at the grant date and recognized over the service period. The portion of the stock compensation expense to be used for the payment of withholding and payroll taxes is included in accrued compensation in the consolidated balance sheets. The balance of the stock compensation expense has been recorded as additional paid-in capital. The following table summarizes the RSU transactions related to the common and preferred stock under the A&R Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: DISCLOSURE OF SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS BY SHARE-BASED PAYMENT AWARD Common Stock Series A Preferred Stock Series B Preferred Stock Outstanding and unvested shares at January 1, 2022 418,039 34,000 - Granted 625,252 - 80,000 Vested ( 426,299 ) ( 34,000 ) ( 10,000 ) Forfeited ( 55,616 ) - - Outstanding and unvested shares at September 30, 2022 561,376 - 70,000 Outstanding and unvested shares at January 1, 2021 382,435 44,000 - Granted 458,467 46,197 - Vested ( 475,120 ) ( 56,197 ) - Forfeited ( 85,286 ) - - Outstanding and unvested shares at September 30, 2021 280,496 34,000 - The liability for the 80,850 cash-settled awards and the liability for withheld taxes in connection with the equity awards was approximately $ 755,000 and $ 1.0 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in accrued compensation in the consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately $ 13,000 and $ 97,000 , respectively, was paid in connection with the cash-settled awards. 22 Stock-based compensation expense The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. For stock awards classified as equity, the market price of our common stock or preferred stock on the date of grant is used in recording the fair value of the award and includes the related taxes. For stock awards classified as a liability, the earned amount is marked to market based on the end of period common stock price. The following table summarizes the components of share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: SCHEDULE OF EMPLOYEE SERVICE SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION ALLOCATION OF RECOGNIZED PERIOD COSTS Stock-based compensation included in the Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, consolidated statements of operations: 2022 2021 2022 2021 ($ in thousands) Direct operating costs $ 247 $ 207 $ 665 $ 766 General and administrative 703 737 1,848 2,482 Research and development 82 ( 3 ) 225 206 Selling and marketing 296 63 661 552 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 1,328 $ 1,004 $ 3,399 $ 4,006 13. INCOME TAXES The income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $ 55,000 comprised of a current tax expense of $ 20,000 and a deferred tax expense of $ 35,000 . The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $ 144,000 comprised of a current tax expense of $ 82,000 and a deferred tax expense of $ 62,000 . The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $ 232,000 , comprised of a current tax benefit of $ 245,000 and a deferred tax expense of $ 13,000 . The Company filed a carryback claim for approximately $ 285,000 with the Internal Revenue Service to recover taxes previously paid by Meridian prior to its acquisition of Meridian. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $ 20,000 , comprised of a current tax benefit of $ 160,000 and a deferred tax expense of $ 140,000 . During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, it was determined that for the states that follow the federal rules regarding indefinite life net operating losses, the offset to the state deferred tax liability was approximately $ 45,000 . This amount was recorded as a deferred tax benefit during the second quarter of 2022. The current income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily relates to state minimum taxes and foreign income taxes. The deferred tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 relates to the book and tax difference of amortization on indefinite-lived intangibles, primarily goodwill. To the extent allowable, the federal deferred tax provision has been offset by the indefinite life net operating loss. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. Several new corporate tax provisions were included in the CARES Act, including, but not limited to, the following: increasing the limitation threshold for determining deductible interest expense, class life changes to qualified improvements (in general - from 39 years to 15 years), and the ability to carry back net operating losses incurred from tax years 2018 through 2020 up to the five preceding tax years . The Company has evaluated the income tax provisions of the CARES Act and determined the impact to be either immaterial or not applicable. Under the CARES Act, the Company took advantage of the payroll tax deferral provision. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred approximately $ 934,000 of payroll taxes. This amount needs to be repaid by December 31, 2022. 23 The Company has incurred cumulative losses, which make realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the federal and state deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market participant assumptions in the absence of observable market information. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair values of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgement associated with the inputs used to measure their value in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We held no Level 1 financial instruments at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets with inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Our Level 2 financial instruments include notes payable which are carried at cost and approximate fair value since the interest rates being charged approximate market rates. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Our Level 3 instrument includes the fair value of contingent consideration related to completed acquisitions. Given that the earn-out period concludes on November 30, 2022, the Company determined its best estimate of the contingent consideration liability based on its projections and actual performance to date. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the contingent consideration measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE LIABILITIES MEASURED ON RECURRING BASIS, UNOBSERVABLE INPUT RECONCILIATION Fair Value Measurement at Reporting Date Using Significant Unobservable Inputs, Level 3 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 ($ in thousands) Balance - January 1, $ 3,090 $ - Acquisitions - 6,500 Change in fair value ( 2,890 ) - Payments - - Balance - September 30, $ 200 $ 6,500 15. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman jointly serve as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), organize the Company, manage resource allocations and measure performance among two operating and reportable segments: (i) Healthcare IT and (ii) Medical Practice Management. The Healthcare IT segment includes revenue cycle management, SaaS solutions and other services. The Medical Practice Management segment includes the management of three medical practices. Each segment is considered a reporting unit. The CODM evaluates financial performance of the business units on the basis of revenue and direct operating costs excluding unallocated amounts that are mainly corporate overhead costs. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022. The following table presents revenues, operating expenses and operating income (loss) by reportable segment: 24 SCHEDULE OF REVENUES, OPERATING EXPENSES AND OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 ($ in thousands) Healthcare IT Medical Practice Management Unallocated Corporate Expenses Total Net revenue $ 96,146 $ 10,146 $ - $ 106,292 Operating expenses: Direct operating costs 56,878 7,988 - 64,866 Selling and marketing 7,293 21 - 7,314 General and administrative 10,213 1,312 6,954 18,479 Research and development 3,251 - - 3,251 Change in contingent consideration ( 2,890 ) - - ( 2,890 ) Depreciation and amortization 8,420 266 - 8,686 Net loss on lease termination and unoccupied lease charges 928 - - 928 Total operating expenses 84,093 9,587 6,954 100,634 Operating income (loss) $ 12,053 $ 559 $ ( 6,954 ) $ 5,658 Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 ($ in thousands) Healthcare IT Medical Practice Management Unallocated Corporate Expenses Total Net revenue $ 29,964 $ 3,759 $ - $ 33,723 Operating expenses: Direct operating costs 17,582 2,824 - 20,406 Selling and marketing 2,496 8 - 2,504 General and administrative 3,231 455 2,814 6,500 Research and development 1,168 - - 1,168 Change in contingent consideration ( 1,660 ) - - ( 1,660 ) Depreciation and amortization 2,721 89 - 2,810 Loss on lease termination and unoccupied lease charges 307 - - 307 Total operating expenses 25,845 3,376 2,814 32,035 Operating income (loss) $ 4,119 $ 383 $ ( 2,814 ) $ 1,688 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 ($ in thousands) Healthcare IT Medical Practice Management Unallocated Corporate Expenses Total Net revenue $ 92,797 $ 9,340 $ - $ 102,137 Operating expenses: Direct operating costs 55,473 7,246 - 62,719 Selling and marketing 6,446 23 - 6,469 General and administrative 10,175 1,487 6,152 17,814 Research and development 4,328 - - 4,328 Depreciation and amortization 9,251 254 - 9,505 Loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges 1,664 - - 1,664 Total operating expenses 87,337 9,010 6,152 102,499 Operating income (loss) $ 5,460 $ 330 $ ( 6,152 ) $ ( 362 ) 25 Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 ($ in thousands) Healthcare IT Medical Practice Management Unallocated Corporate Expenses Total Net revenue $ 34,678 $ 3,626 $ - $ 38,304 Operating expenses: Direct operating costs 21,324 2,800 - 24,124 Selling and marketing 2,368 7 - 2,375 General and administrative 3,336 471 2,114 5,921 Research and development 488 - - 488 Depreciation and amortization 3,459 88 - 3,547 Loss on lease termination and unoccupied lease charges 424 - - 424 Total operating expenses 31,399 3,366 2,114 36,879 Operating income (loss) $ 3,279 $ 260 $ ( 2,114 ) $ 1,425 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following is a discussion of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and other factors that are expected to affect our prospective financial condition. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes beginning on page 4 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 . Some of the statements set forth in this section are forward-looking statements relating to our future results of operations. Our actual results may vary from the results anticipated by these statements. Please see “ Forward-Looking Statements ” on page 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. COVID-19 Pandemic While the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial results and operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, economic and health conditions in the United States and across most of the globe continue to change. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the Company’s operations in 2021 and may continue to do so indefinitely in the future. The pandemic may have an impact on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and conditions, directly and indirectly, including, without limitation, impacts on the health of the Company’s management and employees, its operations, marketing and sales activities, and on the overall economy. The spread of the virus did not adversely affect the health and availability of our employees and staff. The scope and nature of these impacts, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve and the outcomes are uncertain. Due to the above circumstances and as described generally in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Company is not aware of any certain event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgements or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates could change in the future as new information about future developments is obtained. Management cannot predict the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s consolidated operations nor on economic conditions generally, including the effects on patient visits. The ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company is uncertain and will depend on highly unpredictable factors such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the severity of the disease, the duration of outbreak, and the effectiveness of any further developments globally and nationally. The Company will actively monitor the situation and take further action that is in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners, and stockholders. 26 Overview The Company is a healthcare information technology company that provides Software-as-a-Service offerings (“SaaS”) and technology-enabled business solutions, which are often bundled, but are occasionally provided individually, together with related business services to healthcare providers and hospitals throughout the United States. Our integrated SaaS platform includes revenue cycle management (“RCM”), practice management (“PM”), electronic health record (“EHR”), business intelligence, telehealth, patient experience management (“PXM”) solutions and complementary software tools and business services for high-performance medical groups and health systems. At a high level, these solutions can be categorized as follows: ● Technology-enabled business solutions, which are often bundled but are occasionally provided individually, including: ○ EHRs, which are easy to use, integrated with our business services or offered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions, and allow our healthcare provider clients to deliver better patient care, document their clinical visits effectively and thus potentially qualify for government incentives, reduce documentation errors and reduce paperwork; ○ PM software and related tools, which support our clients’ day-to-day business operations and workflows; ○ Mobile Health (“mHealth”) solutions, including smartphone applications that assist patients and healthcare providers in the provision of healthcare services; ○ Telehealth solutions, which allow healthcare providers to conduct remote patient visits; ○ Chronic care management, which provides regular remote visits with patients with chronic conditions; ○ Healthcare claims clearinghouse, which enables our clients to electronically scrub and submit claims to, and process payments from, insurance companies; ○ Business intelligence, customized applications, interfaces and a variety of other technology solutions that support our healthcare clients; ○ RCM services, which include end-to-end medical billing, eligibility, analytics, and related services, all of which can often be provided either with our technology platform or through a third-party system; and ○ Professional services consisting of application and advisory services, revenue cycle services, data analytic services and educational training services. ● Medical practice management services are provided to medical practices. In this service model, we provide the medical practice with appropriate facilities, equipment, supplies, support services, nurses and administrative support staff. We also provide management, bill-paying and financial advisory services. Our solutions enable clients to increase financial and operational performance, streamline clinical workflows, get better insight through data, and make better business and clinical decisions, resulting in improvement in patient care and collections while reducing administrative burdens and operating costs. The modernization of the healthcare industry is transforming nearly every aspect of a healthcare organization from policy to providers, clinical care to member services, devices to data, and ultimately the quality of the patient’s experience as a healthcare consumer. We create elegant, user-friendly applications that solve many of the challenges facing healthcare organizations. We partner with organizations to develop customized, best-in-class solutions to solve their specific challenges while ensuring they also meet future regulatory and organizational requirements and market demands. We are able to deliver our industry-leading solutions at very competitive prices because we leverage a combination of our proprietary software, which automates our workflows and increases efficiency, together with our team of approximately 500 experienced health industry experts throughout the United States. These experts are supported by our highly educated and specialized offshore workforce of approximately 3,700 team members at labor costs that we believe are approximately one-tenth the cost of comparable U.S. employees. Our u nique business model also allowed us to become a leading consolidator in our industry sector, gaining us a reputation for acquiring and positively transforming distressed competitors into profitable operations of CareCloud . 27 Adoption of our technology-enabled business solutions typically requires little or no upfront expenditure by a client. Additionally, for most of our solutions and customers, our financial performance is linked directly to the financial performance of our clients, as the vast majority of our revenues are based on a percentage of our clients’ collections. The fees we charge for our complete, integrated, end-to-end solution are very competitive and among the lowest in the industry. We estimate that we currently provide services to approximately 40,000 providers, (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services) practicing in approximately 2,600 independent medical practices and hospitals representing 80 specialties and subspecialties in 50 states. In addition, we serve approximately 200 clients that are not medical practices, but are primarily service organizations who serve the healthcare community. The foregoing numbers include clients leveraging any of our products or services, and are based, in part, upon estimates where the precise number of practices or providers is unknown . We service clients ranging from small practices, consisting of one to ten providers, to large practices with over 2,300 providers operating in multiple states, to community hospitals. On January 8, 2020, through a merger with a subsidiary, the Company acquired CareCloud Corporation, a Delaware corporation which was subsequently renamed CareCloud Health, Inc. (“CCH”), which has developed a highly acclaimed cloud-based platform including EHR, PM and patient experience capabilities. The Company paid $11.9 million in cash, assumed a working capital deficiency of approximately $5.1 million and issued 760,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and two million warrants for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at prices of $7.50 for two years and $10.00 per share for three years. On June 16, 2020, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Meridian Billing Management Co. and its affiliate Origin Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “Meridian,” and sometimes referred to as “Meridian Medical Management”), a former GE Healthcare IT company that delivers advanced healthcare information technology solutions and services. The Company paid $11.9 million in cash, issued 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 2,250,000 of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price per share of $7.50 for two years and assumed Meridian’s negative working capital and certain long-term lease liabilities where the space is either not being utilized or will be vacated shortly, with an aggregate value of approximately $4.8 million. On June 1, 2021, CareCloud Acquisition Corp (“CAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MedMatica Consulting Associates, Inc., (“MedMatica”) whereby CAC purchased the assets of MedMatica and the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary Santa Rosa Staffing, Inc. (“SRS”). MedMatica and SRS provide a broad range of specialty consulting services to hospitals and large healthcare groups, including certain consulting services related to healthcare IT applications services and implementations, practice management, and revenue cycle management. The total consideration paid at closing was $10 million in cash, net of $1.5 million of escrow withheld. A working capital adjustment of approximately $3.8 million was also paid at closing. The Purchase Agreement provides that if during the 18-month period commencing on June 1, 2021 (“the “Earn-Out Period”), CAC’s EBITDA and revenue targets are achieved, then CAC shall pay an earn-out up to a maximum of $8 million (the “Base Earn-Out”). If during the Earn-Out Period, CAC’s additional and increased EBITDA and revenue targets are achieved, then CAC shall pay an additional earn-out, up to a maximum of $5 million (the “Additional Earn-Out”, collectively, with the Base Earn-Out, the “Earn-Out”). CAC will have the right to offset the Earn-Out against any claim for which CAC is entitled to indemnification under the Purchase Agreement and against damages for breaches by the seller of the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in the Purchase Agreement. Our offshore operations in the Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka accounted for approximately 12% and 11% of total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A significant portion of those foreign expenses were personnel-related costs (approximately 80% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021). Because personnel-related costs are significantly lower in Pakistan and Sri Lanka than in the U.S. and many other offshore locations, we believe our offshore operations give us a competitive advantage over many industry participants. We are able to achieve significant cost reductions and leverage technology to reduce manual work and strategically transition a portion of the remaining manual tasks to our highly-specialized, cost-efficient team in the U.S., the Pakistan Offices and Sri Lanka. 28 Key Performance Measures We consider numerous factors in assessing our performance. Key performance measures used by management, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, are non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, and we provide reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share provide an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that an investor’s understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these adjusted performance measures. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following elements which are included in GAAP net income (loss): ● Income tax expense (benefit) or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; ● Interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on principal payments, on our debt; ● Foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenditures; ● Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards and the related taxes, based on changes in the stock price; ● Depreciation and amortization charges; ● Integration costs, such as severance amounts paid to employees from acquired businesses, and transaction costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees and exit costs related to contractual agreements; ● Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges; and ● Change in contingent consideration. Set forth below is a presentation of our adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 ($ in thousands) Net revenue $ 33,723 $ 38,304 $ 106,292 $ 102,137 GAAP net income (loss) 1,056 1,505 4,933 (686 ) Provision (benefit) for income taxes 55 (232 ) 144 (20 ) Net interest expense 82 87 281 264 Foreign exchange loss / other expense 523 70 359 167 Stock-based compensation expense 1,328 1,004 3,399 4,006 Depreciation and amortization 2,810 3,547 8,686 9,505 Transaction and integration costs 316 269 724 1,118 Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges 307 424 928 1,664 Change in contingent consideration (1,660 ) - (2,890 ) - Adjusted EBITDA $ 4,817 $ 6,674 $ 16,564 $ 16,018 29 Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin exclude the following elements that are included in GAAP operating income (loss): ● Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards and the related taxes, based on changes in the stock price; ● Amortization of purchased intangible assets; ● Integration costs, such as severance amounts paid to employees from acquired businesses, and transaction costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees and exit costs related to contractual agreements; ● Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges; and ● Change in contingent consideration. Set forth below is a presentation of our adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating income as a percentage of net revenue, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 ($ in thousands) Net revenue $ 33,723 $ 38,304 $ 106,292 $ 102,137 GAAP net income (loss) 1,056 1,505 4,933 (686 ) Provision (benefit) for income taxes 55 (232 ) 144 (20 ) Net interest expense 82 87 281 264 Other expense - net 495 65 300 80 GAAP operating income (loss) 1,688 1,425 5,658 (362 ) GAAP operating margin 5.0 % 3.7 % 5.3 % (0.4 )% Stock-based compensation expense 1,328 1,004 3,399 4,006 Amortization of purchased intangible assets 1,428 2,768 4,884 7,079 Transaction and integration costs 316 269 724 1,118 Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges 307 424 928 1,664 Change in contingent consideration (1,660 ) - (2,890 ) - Non-GAAP adjusted operating income $ 3,407 $ 5,890 $ 12,703 $ 13,505 Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin 10.1 % 15.4 % 12.0 % 13.2 % Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share exclude the following elements which are included in GAAP net income (loss): ● Foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating expenditures; ● Stock-based compensation expense includes cash-settled awards and the related taxes, based on changes in the stock price; ● Amortization of purchased intangible assets; ● Integration costs, such as severance amounts paid to employees from acquired businesses, and transaction costs, such as brokerage fees, pre-acquisition accounting costs and legal fees and exit costs related to contractual agreements; ● Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges; ● Change in contingent consideration; and ● Income tax expense (benefit) resulting from the amortization of goodwill related to our acquisitions. No tax effect has been provided in computing non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share as the Company has sufficient carry forward net operating losses to offset the applicable income taxes. The following table shows our reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: 30 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 ($ in thousands) GAAP net income (loss) $ 1,056 $ 1,505 $ 4,933 $ (686 ) Foreign exchange loss / other expense 523 70 359 167 Stock-based compensation expense 1,328 1,004 3,399 4,006 Amortization of purchased intangible assets 1,428 2,768 4,884 7,079 Transaction and integration costs 316 269 724 1,118 Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges 307 424 928 1,664 Change in contingent consideration (1,660 ) - (2,890 ) - Income tax expense related to goodwill 35 13 61 140 Non-GAAP adjusted net income $ 3,333 $ 6,053 $ 12,398 $ 13,488 Set forth below is a reconciliation of our GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders, per share to our non-GAAP adjusted net income per share: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 GAAP net loss attributable to common shareholders, per share $ (0.18 ) $ (0.15 ) $ (0.45 ) $ (0.77 ) Impact of preferred stock dividend 0.25 0.25 0.78 0.72 Net income (loss) per end-of-period share 0.07 0.10 0.33 (0.05 ) Foreign exchange loss / other expense 0.03 0.00 0.02 0.01 Stock-based compensation expense 0.09 0.07 0.23 0.27 Amortization of purchased intangible assets 0.09 0.19 0.31 0.48 Transaction and integration costs 0.02 0.02 0.05 0.08 Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges 0.02 0.03 0.06 0.11 Change in contingent consideration (0.11 ) 0.00 (0.19 ) 0.00 Income tax expense related to goodwill 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.01 Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share $ 0.21 $ 0.41 $ 0.81 $ 0.91 End-of-period common shares 15,211,136 14,873,411 15,211,136 14,873,411 In-the-money warrants and outstanding unvested RSUs 605,526 2,432,636 605,526 2,432,636 Total fully diluted shares 15,816,662 17,306,047 15,816,662 17,306,047 Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share $ 0.21 $ 0.35 $ 0.78 $ 0.78 For purposes of determining non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share, the Company used the number of common shares outstanding at the end of September 30, 2022 and 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was computed using an as-converted method and includes warrants that are in-the-money as of that date as well as outstanding unvested RSUs. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share do not take into account dividends paid on Preferred Stock. No tax effect has been provided in computing non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share as the Company has sufficient carry forward net operating losses to offset the applicable income taxes. Key Metrics In addition to the line items in our consolidated financial statements, we regularly review the following metrics. We believe information on these metrics is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends in our business. Providers and Practices Served: As of both September 30, 2022 and 2021, we provided services to an estimated universe of approximately 40,000 providers (which we define as physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical staff that render bills for their services), representing approximately 2,600 independent medical practices and hospitals. In addition, we served approximately 200 clients who were not medical practices, but are service organizations who serve the healthcare community. The foregoing numbers include clients leveraging any of our products or services and are based in part upon estimates in cases where the precise number of practices or providers is unknown. 31 Sources of Revenue Revenue: We primarily derive our revenues from subscription-based technology-enabled business solutions, reported in our Healthcare IT segment, which are typically billed as a percentage of payments collected by our customers. This fee includes RCM, as well as the ability to use our EHR, practice management system and other software as part of the bundled fee. These solutions accounted for approximately 64% and 71% of our revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 64% and 78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other healthcare IT services, including printing and mailing operations, group purchasing and professional services, represented approximately 25% and 20% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 26% and 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We earned approximately 11% and 9% of our revenue from medical practice management services during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 10% and 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This revenue represents fees based on our actual costs plus a percentage of the operating profit and is reported in our Medical Practice Management segment. Operating Expenses Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating cost consists primarily of salaries and benefits related to personnel who provide services to our customers, claims processing costs, costs to operate the three managed practices, including facility lease costs, supplies, insurance and other direct costs related to our services. Costs associated with the implementation of new customers are expensed as incurred. The reported amounts of direct operating costs do not include depreciation and amortization, which are broken out separately in the consolidated statements of operations. Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, commissions, travel and advertising expenses. General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for administrative employees, including compensation, benefits, travel, facility lease costs and insurance, software license fees and outside professional fees. Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, software expense and third-party contractor costs. Contingent Consideration. Contingent consideration represents the portion of consideration payable to the sellers of some of our acquisitions, the amount of which is based on the achievement of defined performance measures contained in the purchase agreements. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation expense is charged using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Amortization expense is charged on either an accelerated or on a straight-line basis over a period of three or four years for most intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions including those intangibles related to the group purchasing services. Amortization expense related to the value of our medical practice management clients is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of twelve years. Net Loss on Lease Termination, Impairment and Unoccupied Lease Charges. Net loss on lease termination represents the write-off of leasehold improvements and gains or losses as the result of lease terminations. Impairment charges represent charges recorded for a leased facility no longer being used by the Company and a non-cancellable vendor contract where the services are no longer being used. Unoccupied lease charges represent the portion of lease and related costs for vacant space not being utilized by the Company. 32 Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs related to our line of credit, term loans and amounts due in connection with acquisitions, offset by interest income. Other income (expense) results primarily from foreign currency transaction gains (losses) and income earned from temporary cash investments. Income Tax. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Although the Company is forecasting a return to profitability, it incurred losses historically and there is uncertainty regarding future U.S. taxable income, which makes realization of a deferred tax asset difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against all deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements presented in this Report are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Leases: We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liability (current portion) and operating lease liability (noncurrent portion) in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company does not have any finance leases. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rates, which are derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to bank financing arrangements, geographical location and collateralization of assets when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. Our lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of less than 12 months are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. For real estate leases, we account for the leased and non-leased components as a single lease component. Some leases include escalation clauses and termination options that are factored into the determination of the future lease payments when appropriate. Capitalized Software Costs : All of our software is considered internal use for accounting purposes, as we do not market or sell our software. As a result, we capitalize certain costs associated with the creation of internally-developed software for internal use. The total of these costs is recorded in Intangible assets – net in our consolidated balance sheets. We capitalized costs incurred during the application development stage related to our internal use software. Costs incurred during the application development phase are capitalized only when we believe it is probable that the development will result in new or additional functionality. The types of costs capitalized during the application development phase consist of employee compensation, employee benefits and employee stock-based compensation. Costs related to the preliminary project stage and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life when the asset has been placed in service for general availability. Significant judgments related to internally-developed software include determining whether it is probable that projects will result in new or additional functionality; concluding on when the application development phase starts and ends; and deciding which costs, especially employee compensation costs, should be capitalized. Additionally, there is judgment applied to the useful lives of capitalized software; we have concluded that the useful lives for capitalized internally-developed software is three years. 33 Company management employs its best estimates and assumptions in determining the appropriateness of the judgments noted above on a project-by-project basis during initial capitalization as well as subsequent measurement. While we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments is reasonable, actual results could differ, and such differences could lead to an increase or decrease in expense. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of internally-developed capitalized software in use was $15.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The increase in the capitalized software costs represents the continued investment in proprietary technology. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022.

Net revenue of $33.7 million and $106.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $4.6 million or 12% and increased by $4.2 million or 4% from net revenue of $38.3 million and $102.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes approximately $6.4 million and $22.2 million from customers acquired in the medSR acquisition, offset primarily by a decrease in revenue from three large accounts from a 2020 acquisition that are winding down. Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes $21.6 million and $68.5 million relating to technology-enabled business solutions, $7.4 million and $25.6 million related to professional services and $3.8 million and $10.1 million for medical practice management services. 34 Three Months Ended September 30, Change Nine Months Ended September 30, Change 2022 2021 Amount Percent 2022 2021 Amount Percent ($ in thousands) Direct operating costs $ 20,406 $ 24,124 $ (3,718 ) (15 %) $ 64,866 $ 62,719 $ 2,147 3 % Selling and marketing 2,504 2,375 129 5 % 7,314 6,469 845 13 % General and administrative 6,500 5,921 579 10 % 18,479 17,814 665 4 % Research and development 1,168 488 680 139 % 3,251 4,328 (1,077 ) (25 %) Change in contingent consideration (1,660 ) - (1,660 ) N/A (2,890 ) - (2,890 ) N/A Depreciation 474 488 (14 ) (3 %) 1,405 1,482 (77 ) (5 %) Amortization 2,336 3,059 (723 ) (24 %) 7,281 8,023 (742 ) (9 %) Net loss on lease termination, impairment and unoccupied lease charges 307 424 (117 ) (28 %) 928 1,664 (736 ) (44 %) Total operating expenses $ 32,035 $ 36,879 $ (4,844 ) (13 %) $ 100,634 $ 102,499 $ (1,865 ) (2 %) Direct Operating Costs. Direct operating costs of $20.4 million and $64.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $3.7 million or 15% and increased by $2.1 million or 3% compared to direct operating costs of $24.1 million and $62.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, salary costs decreased by $3.3 million and $894,000 , and outsourcing and processing costs decreased by $456,000 and increased by $2.9 million , respectively. The decrease in the salary costs was due to the decrease in the Pakistan exchange rate, a decrease in the US headcount and the redeployment of employees performing functions that were classified as direct operating costs to functions classified as research and development expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing expense of $2.5 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $129,000 or 5% and $845,000 or 13% from selling and marketing expense of $2.4 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily related to additional emphasis on sales and marketing activities. General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense of $6.5 million and $18.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $579,000 or 10% and $665,000 or 4% compared to general and administrative expense of $5.9 million and $17.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to the Company’s contributions to community based projects and to a new academic institution in the Bagh area, a community where the Company has a large employee base. Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense of $1.2 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $680,000 and decreased by $1.1 million from research and development expense of $488,000 and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease represents less maintenance work on platforms generating revenue and more resources dedicated to development of new technology which is not yet in commercial use and the increase is due to the redeployment of employees performing functions that were classified as direct operating costs to functions classified as research and development expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company capitalized approximately $7.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of development costs in connection with its internal-use software. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company capitalized approximately $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of such costs. Change in Contingent Consideration. The change of $1.7 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflects the estimated decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration from the medSR acquisition. Depreciation. Depreciation of $474,000 and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, decreased by $14,000 or 3% and $77,000 or 5% from the depreciation of $488,000 and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. 35 Amortization Expense. Amortization expense of $2.3 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, decreased by $723,000 or 24% and $742,000 or 9% from amortization expense of $3.1 million and $8.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in amortization expense was due to intangibles which were previously capitalized becoming fully amortized. Net Loss on Lease Termination, Impairment and Unoccupied Lease Charges. Net loss on lease termination represents the write-off of leasehold improvements and gains or losses as the result of lease terminations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a facility lease was terminated in conjunction with the Company ceasing its document storage services resulting in additional costs of approximately $248,000. Impairment charges represent charges recorded for a leased facility no longer being used by the Company and a non-cancellable vendor contract where the services are no longer being used. Unoccupied lease charges represent the portion of lease and related costs for that portion of the space that is vacant and not being utilized by the Company. The Company was able to turn back to the landlord one of the unused facilities effective January 1, 2022. Three Months Ended September 30, Change Nine Months Ended September 30, Change 2022 2021 Amount Percent 2022 2021 Amount Percent ($ in thousands) Interest income $ 14 $ 4 $ 10 250 % $ 22 $ 10 $ 12 120 % Interest expense (96 ) (91 ) (5 ) (5 %) (303 ) (274 ) (29 ) (11 %) Other expense - net (495 ) (65 ) (430 ) (662 %) (300 ) (80 ) (220 ) (275 %) Income tax provision (benefit) 55 (232 ) (287 ) (124 %) 144 (20 ) (164 ) (820 %) Interest Income. Interest income of $14,000 and $22,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $10,000 or 250% and $12,000 or 120% from interest income of $4,000 and $10,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The interest income represents interest earned on temporary cash investments. Interest Expense. Interest expense of $96,000 and $303,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $5,000 or 5% and $29,000 or 11% from interest expense of $91,000 and $274,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, which was $92,000 and $107,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other Expense – net. Other expense – net was $495,000 and $300,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to other expense – net of $65,000 and $80,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Other expense primarily represents foreign currency transaction gains and losses. These transaction gains and losses result from revaluing intercompany accounts whenever the exchange rate varies and are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Income Tax Provision (Benefit). The provision for income taxes was $55,000 and $144,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the benefit for income taxes of $232,000 and $20,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. As a result of the Company having certain net operating losses with an indefinite life under the current federal tax rules, the federal deferred tax liability was offset against the federal net operating loss to the extent allowable in 2022 and 2021. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, it was determined that for the states that follow the federal rules regarding indefinite life net operating losses, the offset to the state deferred tax liability was $45,000. This amount was recorded during the second quarter of 2022. The current income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $20,000 and $82,000, respectively, and includes state minimum taxes and foreign income taxes. The Company has incurred cumulative losses historically and there is uncertainty regarding future U.S. taxable income, which makes realization of a deferred tax losses difficult to support in accordance with ASC 740. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against all deferred tax assets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 36 Liquidity and Capital Resources During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was positive cash flow from operations of $7.0 million and $15.1 million and at September 30, 2022, the Company had $4.9 million in cash and restricted cash and positive working capital of $5.1 million. The Company has a revolving line of credit with SVB, and, as of September 30, 2022, there was no balance outstanding.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and l5d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 38 Part II.
