Adoption of New Accounting Standards


On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted a new accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on revenue recognition using the full retrospective method. This new accounting standard outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This standard supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements and eliminates most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance from GAAP. The core principle of the revenue recognition standard is to require an entity to recognize as revenue the amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to be entitled to when control of goods or services are transferred to its customers.


As a result of the Company’s adoption of this standard, the majority of the amounts that were historically classified as bad debt expense, primarily related to patient responsibility, are now considered an implicit price concession in determining net revenues from clinical services. Accordingly, the Company reports estimated uncollectible balances associated with patient responsibility as a reduction of the transaction price and therefore as a reduction in net revenues, when historically these amounts were classified and separately reported as a provision for uncollectible accounts receivable. The adoption of this standard has no impact on revenues reported for life sciences products. The adoption of this new accounting standard resulted in increased disclosure, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. For further details, see Note 3.


The impact of the adoption of the standard on prior period consolidated operations, cash flows and balance sheet is presented in the table below:

On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted a new accounting standard issued by FASB which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Adoption of this standard requires that amendments in the update be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. For the foreseeable future, any excess income tax benefits or deficiencies from stock-based compensation, which would be recognized as discrete items within income tax expense rather than additional paid in capital, will be offset by an equivalent adjustment to the deferred tax valuation allowance. Accordingly, adoption of this standard had no impact on our reported operations

Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted


In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842), as amended. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2019 including interim periods within that fiscal year. We will adopt the standard using a modified retrospective transition approach and will not restate our comparative periods. Given the size of our lease portfolio, in particular real estate leases, we expect the adoption of this standard will materially impact our consolidated financial statements by significantly increasing our non-current assets and non-current liabilities, which we estimate to be in a range of $23 and $25 million on our consolidated balance sheet when we record the right of use assets and related lease liabilities for our existing operating leases. We will recognize expense in the consolidated statement of operations similar to current lease accounting, in the cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative.


In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adoption of this standard is required for our annual and interim periods beginning August 1, 2020 and must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.


We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded they are not applicable or not expected to be significant to the accounting for our operations

Concentration Risk


Other than the Medicare program, one provider whose programs are included in the “Third-party payers” and “Health Maintenance Organizations” (“HMO’s”) categories represents approximately 33% and 40% of Clinical Services net revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively, and 39% for the nine months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018. As of April 30, 2019, other than the Medicare program, one provider whose programs are included in either “Third-party payers” and/or “Health Maintenance Organizations” (“HMO’s”) categories represent approximately 14% of Clinical Services net receivables. As of July 31, 2018, other than the Medicare program, three providers whose programs are included in either “Third-party payers” and/or “Health Maintenance Organizations” (“HMO’s”) categories represent approximately 29% of Clinical Services net receivables.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes


The provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 is $0. The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the nine months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 is $0 and ($1,097), respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 was (19.4%). The primary differences between the Company’s effective tax rates and the statutory rates for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 are due to the utilization of net operating losses for which a full valuation allowance was maintained and for a tax benefit recorded in the nine month period ended April 30, 2018 of $1.1 million. The $1.1 million tax benefit in the 2018 period is due to the Tax Act, signed into law December 22, 2017, in which the legislation provided for a credit for alternative minimum taxes (AMT) paid in prior periods. The Company believes that the valuation allowance is necessary as it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized in the foreseeable future based on positive and negative evidence available at this time. This conclusion was reached because of uncertainties relating to future taxable income, in terms of both its timing and its sufficiency, which would enable the Company to realize the deferred tax assets.
