+Added: Critical Audit Matter Description
+Added: On February 9, 2023 (the “Acquisition Date”),
+Added: the Company acquired 40% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Laboratory Services MSO, LLC (the “Labs”) for a
+Added: total consideration of approximately $21 million.
+Added: The investment was recorded on the Acquisition Date at cost with the investment being
+Added: accounted for under the equity method as the Company has significant influence over the Labs.
+Added: As disclosed in Note 7 of the accompanying
+Added: financial statements, the Company identified equity method goodwill and intangible assets, which included tradename and customer relationships,
+Added: of approximately $9.5 million and $10 million, respectively, on the Acquisition Date.
+Added: As of December 31, 2023 (the “Reporting Date”),
+Added: the Company concluded that approximately $9.2 million of the equity method goodwill was impaired.
+Added: We identified the initial allocation of purchase consideration
+Added: and the subsequent impairment assessment on such goodwill as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions
+Added: made by management, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair
+Added: value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related
+Added: to the selection of the valuation techniques and assumptions utilized, growth rates, and the future operating margins.
+Added: Under the income approach, the Company utilizes the
+Added: discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of the Labs.
+Added: Some of the significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair
+Added: values include the estimated future annual net cash flows for the Labs (including net sales, operating income margin, and working capital)
+Added: and a discount rate that appropriately reflects the risks inherent in each future cash flow stream.
+Added: The Company selects assumptions used
+Added: in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, management’s
+Added: plans, and guideline companies.
+Added: Under the market approach, fair value is derived from
+Added: metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses.
+Added: The selection of comparable businesses
+Added: is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of
+Added: products and services.
+Added: The estimates of fair value of the reporting units
+Added: as of the Acquisition Date and Reporting Date are computed using a combination of both the income approach and market approach noted above.
+Added: How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in
+Added: Our audit procedures included the following:
+Added: assessed the reasonableness of the forecasted revenue growth rates and operating margins over the cash flow forecast period by comparing
+Added: them to the Labs’ actual revenues and operating margins during the recent historical periods;
+Added: (2) We evaluated the reasonableness
+Added: of the (a) valuation methodologies;
+Added: (b) revenue growth rate by comparing it to industry rates;
+Added: (c) customer attrition rates by testing
+Added: the mathematical accuracy of the rates used and comparing them to industry rates;
+Added: and (d) discount rates, which included testing the source
+Added: information underlying the determination of the discount rates, testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing
+Added: a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management;
+Added: evaluated the guideline companies used and operated in a similar industry as the subject reporting unit;
+Added: (4) We sensitized the
+Added: projections and compared them to the valuation reports for reasonableness;
+Added: (5) We evaluated the disclosures
+Added: in the Company's financial statements for proper reporting.
+Added: For the Company’s impairment assessment as of
+Added: the Reporting Date, in additions to the aforementioned audit procedures, we assessed the reasonableness of t he
+Added: Company’s use of the appropriate modified capital asset pricing model and a weighted average cost of capital.
