STRM Streamline Health Solutions Inc

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Streamline Health, LLC, Avelead Consulting, LLC, Streamline Consulting Solutions, LLC and Streamline Pay & Benefits, LLC, (collectively, unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Streamline,” or the “Company”), operate in one segment as a provider of healthcare information technology solutions and associated services. The Company provides these capabilities through the licensing of its Coding & Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) solutions, eValuator coding analysis platform, RevID, and other workflow software applications and the use of such applications by software as a service (“SaaS”). The Company also provides audit services to help clients optimize their internal clinical documentation and coding functions, as well as implementation and consulting services to complement its software solutions. The Company’s software and services enable hospitals and integrated healthcare delivery systems in the United States and Canada to capture, store, manage, route, retrieve and process patient clinical, financial and other healthcare provider information related to the patient revenue cycle.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025.

The Company has one operating segment and one reporting unit due to the singular nature of our products, product development and distribution process, and client base as a provider of computer software-based solutions and services for acute-care healthcare providers.

All amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements, notes and tables have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated. All references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year commencing February 1 in that calendar year and ending on January 31 of the following calendar year.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business. To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenues to allow it to generate cash flow from operations and the Company anticipates the need for additional liquidity in the next twelve months. The Company has historically accumulated losses and used cash from its financing activities to supplement its operations. The Company’s current forecast projects the Company may not be able to maintain compliance with certain of its financial covenants under its current credit agreement with the term loan lender in the next twelve months. Further, our recent private placement notes payables have cross-default conditions with the senior term loan debt. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to achieve cash from operations and raise additional debt or equity capital to fund its ongoing operations. 

As of July 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $12.4 million of total outstanding debt associated with its term loan and private placement notes payables, $2 million of which is classified as a current liability. The Company is engaged in ongoing discussions with its current banking partner, Western Alliance Bank, with whom it maintains a good working relationship. The Company’s ability to refinance its existing debt is based upon credit markets and economic forces that are outside of its control. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are presented in “Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023. Users of financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results.

NOTE 3 — BUSINESS COMBINATION

Avelead Acquisition

The Company acquired all the equity interests of Avelead Consulting, LLC (“Avelead”) as part of the Company’s strategic expansion into the acute-care health care revenue cycle management industry (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was completed on August 16, 2021.

As of January 31, 2024, the estimated aggregate value of the second year earnout consideration was $1,794,000. On March 27, 2024, the Company issued 1,589,386 unregistered securities in the form of restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, with respect to the second year earnout consideration. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, the Company made cash payments of $240,000 and $687,000 respectively, related to the second year earnout consideration, with periodic payments to be made through October 31, 2024. The remaining cash liability is reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as “acquisition earnout liability” and totaled $577,000 as of July 31, 2024. 

NOTE 4 — OPERATING LEASES

We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use 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. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since our lease arrangements do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate for the expected remaining lease term at commencement date for new and existing leases in determining the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

The Company has moved to a virtual office model and does not have a physical office space. Membership agreements and daily space rentals are leveraged by the Company when groups need to meet in person with the costs expensed as incurred. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $9,000 and $17,000, respectively, and $6,000 and $10,000, respectively, related to such office space rentals.

Alpharetta Office Lease

On October 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party to sublease its office space in Alpharetta, Georgia. The sublease term was for 18 months, which coincided with the Company’s underlying lease (see below). The Company received $292,000 from the sublessee over the term of the sublease. The sublease did not relieve the Company of its original obligation under the lease, and therefore the Company did not adjust the operating lease right-of-use asset and related liability. The sublease terminated on March 31, 2023. For the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $0 and $32,000, respectively, as other income related to the sublease. There was no income related to the sublease in the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company entered into a lease for office space in Alpharetta, Georgia, on March 1, 2020. The lease terminated on March 31, 2023. At inception, the Company recorded a right-of use asset of $540,000, and related current and long-term operating lease obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company used a discount rate of 6.5% to determine the lease liability. For the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had lease operating costs of approximately $0 and $32,000, respectively. There was no expense related to lease operating costs in the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. 

Suwanee Office Lease

Upon acquiring Avelead on August 16, 2021 (refer to Note 3 – Business Combination), the Company assumed an operating lease agreement for the corporate office space of Avelead. The lessor is an entity controlled by one of the Sellers and that Seller is a former employee of the Company. The initial 36-month term lease commenced March 1, 2019, and expired on February 28, 2022. The Company previously renewed the lease for an additional 12-month term which expired February 28, 2023, and was not renewed. For the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded rent expense of $0 and $6,000, respectively. There was no expense recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. 

NOTE 5 — DEBT

Outstanding principal balances consisted of the following at July 31, 2024:

Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit

On November 29, 2022, the Company executed a Second Modification to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Second Modification”). The Second Modification includes an expansion of the Company’s total borrowing to include a $2,000,000 non-formula revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit will be co-terminus with the term loan and matures on August 26, 2026. There are no requirements to draw on the line of credit. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit portion of the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 3.25%. The Second Modification amended certain financial covenants in the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. 

Under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the Company has a term loan facility with an initial maximum principal amount of $10,000,000. Amounts outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.5%, with a Prime “floor” rate of 3.25%. The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement has a five-year term, and the maximum principal amount was advanced in a single-cash advance on or about the original closing date ( August 2021). Interest is due monthly, and the Company shall make monthly interest-only payments through the one-year anniversary of the original closing date. Under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, principal repayments are required of $500,000 in the second year, $1,000,000 in the third year, $2,000,000 in the fourth year, and $3,000,000 in the fifth year with the remaining outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest due in full on the maturity date. The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement may also require early repayments if certain conditions are met.

The Company executed a Third Modification and Waiver to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Third Modification”) and a Fourth Modification to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Modification”) on February 7, 2024 and April 5, 2024, respectively (collectively, the “Third and Fourth Modifications”). The Third and Fourth Modifications reestablished the customary financial covenants for the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as follows:

The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement also includes customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit transfers, capital expenditures, indebtedness, certain liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments, and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including a cross default provision with the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and a change of control default provision. The line of credit also is subject to customary prepayment requirements. Substantially all the assets of the Company are collateralized by the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. As of   July 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. However, the Company’s current forecast projects the Company may not be able to maintain compliance with certain of its financial covenants under the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement in the future. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation for detail regarding the Company’s assessment as a going concern.

The Company records costs related to the maintenance of the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as deferred financing costs, net of the term loan. These deferred financing costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the loan. The Company has incurred $250,000 in financing costs which become payable at the earlier of the term date of the loan, or pre-payment. These costs are being accreted, through interest expense, to the full value of the $250,000 over the remaining term of the loan.

Debt Private Placement

On February 1, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, including certain directors and officers of the Company (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors unsecured subordinated promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4.4 million and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,016,025 shares of the Company’s common stock in a private placement (the “Debt Private Placement”). The closing of the Debt Private Placement occurred on February 7, 2024 (the “Closing Date”).

Notes Payable

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum and mature on August 7, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). All accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes will be capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance of the Notes and will be payable in cash on the Maturity Date. The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, prior to the Maturity Date without any premium or penalty. In the event the Company prepays any portion of the then outstanding principal balance of the Notes on or before the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, in addition to such prepayment of the principal balance, the Company must pay to the Investors a prepayment fee (in accordance with the each Investor’s pro-rata share of the Notes) in an amount equal to the amount of interest that would have accrued but for the prepayment from the date of such prepayment through such twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Notes also include customary negative covenants, subject to exceptions, which limit dispositions of assets and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including a cross default provision with the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and a change of control default provision.

The rights of each Investor to receive payments under the Notes are subordinate to the rights of Western Alliance Bank (“WAB”), pursuant to a subordination agreement which the Investors entered into with WAB concurrently with the Debt Private Placement.

The Company allocated the original total proceeds at inception from the Debt Private Placement and Common Stock Private Placement (refer to Note 7 – Equity) across the securities issued in connection with the offerings. The Company has recorded the Notes at a relevant residual fair value of $3,538,000, consisting of the $4,400,000 face value of the notes and $862,000 discount. The Company allocated $183,000 in issuance costs. The discount is being accreted and the financing costs amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. 

Warrants

The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.38 (except for Warrants issued to the Company’s directors and officers which have an exercise price of $0.39), are immediately exercisable, and will expire on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date. The Warrants are subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s capitalization. The terms of the Warrants preclude a holder thereof from exercising such holder’s Warrants, and the Company from giving effect to such exercise, if after giving effect to the issuance of common stock upon such exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of common stock upon such exercise.

The Notes and the Warrants described above were offered in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the common stock underlying the Warrants, were "restricted securities" under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes, the Warrants and the common stock underlying the Warrants may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements and in accordance with applicable state securities laws. The securities were offered and sold to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

The Warrants contain a registration rights provision for the Company to provide the Warrant holder with registered common stock upon their exercise of a Warrant. If the Company is not able to deliver registered common stock for exercised Warrants that results in the Warrant holder acquiring registered common stock, then the Warrant holder has the discretion to request the Company remit cash compensation up to the corresponding purchase price. Accordingly, the Company determined the feature required liability accounting treatment upon issuance. On May 7, 2024, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-279190), as amended by that certain Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 filed on May 24, 2024 (collectively, the “Registration Statement”), for purpose of registering for resale 4,016,025 shares of common stock underlying the Warrants. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 10, 2024. The filing of the Registration Statement eliminated the potential cash settlement feature that caused liability accounting ensuring the Warrants will be settled with shares, and accordingly, the Warrants met the criteria for equity classification and reclassified them to paid in capital after a final re-measurement. 

The Company allocated the total proceeds from the Debt Private Placement and Common Stock Private Placement (refer to Note 7 – Equity) across the securities issued in connection with offerings. The Company recorded an initial liability of $881,000 for the Warrants at fair value using a Black-Scholes model. The Company immediately recognized $46,000 in issuance costs as expense related to the agreements for the Warrants. For the three months ended July 31, 2024, the Company reclassified the $837,000 remeasured value of the Warrants as additional paid in capital on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet. 

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $0 for the six months ended July 31, 2024, compared to income tax expense of $61,000 in the prior year comparable period. The effective income tax rate on continuing operations of approximately 0% differs from our combined federal and state statutory rate of 24% primarily due to the full valuation allowance the Company currently maintains on its net deferred tax asset.

The Company has recorded $346,000 and $340,000 in reserves for uncertain tax positions as of July 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in multiple state and local jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal tax matters for years through January 31, 2020. All material state and local income tax matters have been concluded for years through January 31, 2019. The Company is no longer subject to IRS examination for periods prior to the tax year ended January 31, 2020; however, carryforward losses that were generated prior to the tax year ended January 31, 2020, may still be adjusted by the IRS if they are used in a future period. 

NOTE 7 — EQUITY

Common Stock Private Placement

On February 6, 2024, the Company completed the sale of 263,158 shares of the Company’s common stock to an accredited investor at a purchase price of $0.38 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 (the “Common Stock Private Placement”).

The common stock described above was offered in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and has not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, such common stock may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements and in accordance with applicable state securities laws. The common stock was offered and sold to an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

The Company allocated the total proceeds of the Common Stock Private Placement across the underlying components. As a result, $77,000 of net proceeds, comprised of $81,000 of the proceeds less $4,000 of issuance costs, was recorded for the Common Stock Private Placement as equity.

Registration of Shares Issued to 180 Consulting

On June 28, 2023, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-272993) for purpose of registering for resale 394,127 shares of common stock issued to 180 Consulting, LLC (“180 Consulting”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 10, 2023.

On May 7, 2024, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-279190), as amended by that certain Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 filed on May 24, 2024, for purpose of registering for resale 564,707 shares of common stock issued to 180 Consulting. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 10, 2024.

2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan

At the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 13, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan replaced the Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2013 Plan”). The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the 2024 Plan and approves the grant and terms of awards (consistent with the terms of the 2024 Plan).

The 2024 Plan permits the grant of any or all of the following types of awards to grantees: stock options, including non-qualified options and incentive stock options (“ISOs”); stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); restricted stock; deferred stock and restricted stock units; performance units and performance shares; dividend equivalents; and other stock-based awards. Eligible grantees include employees, officers, non-employee consultants and non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates. A total of 6,738,902 shares of common stock were initially available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.

NOTE 8 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Consulting Agreement with 180 Consulting, LLC

Mr. Green is a “member” of 121G, and, accordingly, has a financial interest in that entity. 180 Consulting earned 817,018 and 258,153 shares for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and has earned an aggregate of 2,296,925 shares of the Company’s common stock through July 31, 2024.

This is a services agreement for access to software that assists the Company in implementing and integrating with our clients’ technology. The license agreement is designed such that there is no material financial benefit that accrues to 121G. 180 Consulting licenses the software from 121G at cost.
