Note 4. Variable Interest Entities

Through its XpresCheck Wellness Centers the Company provides services pursuant to contracts with PLLCs which in turn contracts with physicians and other medical professional providers to render COVID-19 and other medical diagnostic testing services to airline employees, contractors, concessionaire employees, TSA officers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, and the traveling public. The PLLCs collectively represent the Company’s affiliated medical group. The PLLCs were designed and structured to comply with the relevant laws and regulations governing professional medical practice, which generally prohibits the practice of medicine by lay persons or entities. All of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the PLLCs are owned by a licensed medical professional nominated by the Company (the “Nominee Shareholder”). Upon formation of the PLLCs, and initial issuance of equity interests, the Nominee Shareholder contributes a nominal amount of capital in exchange for their interest in the PLLC. The Company then executes with each PLLC a MSA, which provide for various administrative services, management services and day-to-day activities of the practice to be rendered by the Company through its XpresCheck Wellness Centers.

The Company also has exclusive responsibility for the provision of all nonmedical services including contracting with customers who access the PLLCs for a medical visit, handling all financial transactions and day-to-day operations of each PLLC, overseeing the establishment of COVID-19 and other medical diagnostic testing services policies, and making recommendations to the PLLC in establishing the guidelines for the employment and compensation of the physicians and other employees of the PLLCs. Until June 30, 2021, MSA Fees were commensurate with the expected level of activity required to be billed by XpresCheck Wellness Centers. Therefore, these PLLCs were assessed not to be variable interest entities prior to July 1, 2021.

Effective, July 1, 2021, contractual arrangements between the company, the company’s affiliated medical group and nominated shareholder were modified in a manner that changes the characteristics or adequacy of the nominee shareholders equity investment at risk and residual returns. Therefore, due to reassessment triggered by the development on July 1, 2021, the Company determined that the PLLCs are now variable interest entities. Notwithstanding their legal form of ownership of equity interests in the PLLC, the primary beneficiary of the affiliated medical group is the Company as it meets both of the following criteria: (i) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the affiliated medical group; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the affiliated medical group. The Company consolidated the PLLCs under the VIE model since the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the PLLCs economic performance and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the PLLCs.

The aggregate carrying value of total assets and total liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheets for the PLLCs after elimination of intercompany transactions were $3,033, included in Cash and Cash Equivalents, and $683, included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The total revenue included on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the PLLCs after elimination of intercompany transactions was $50,689 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.
