Boca Oncology Partners

 

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company, through the formation of a joint venture, in which it had a noncontrolling interest, participated in the formation of Boca Oncology Partners, LLC (“BOP”), for the purpose of owning and operating a cancer center in Boca Raton, Florida. In June 2011, Boca Oncology Partners RE, LLC (“BOPRE”), an affiliated entity, purchased an interest in Boca West IMP, LLC, (“Boca West IMP”), owner of a medical office building in West Boca, Florida in which BOP operates. BOP occupies 6,000 square feet of the 32,000 square foot building. The Company now holds a 23.1% ownership interest in BOPRE, which it accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s recorded investment in BOPRE is $0 and $189,000, at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the year ended 2024, the Company and other partners of BOPRE decided to sell its shares of the building, resulting in a gain of $97,000 for the Company.

 

In September 2024, BOPRE sold its interest in Boca West IMP to the remaining members for $1,210,840, resulting in a gain to the Company of $97,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

CB Oncology Partners

 

CBOP was organized September 1, 2017, to acquire the rights of a new center in Cutler Bay, FL. Effective November 15, 2019, CBOP assumed, a loan with BB&T bank, that it had entered into in order to finance the purchase of equipment and build out of the new center, as well as the associated property and equipment. The Company and other investors were guarantors of the loan. In July 2020 CBOP and BB&T agreed to a reduction in the monthly payments for the life of the loan and an extension in the term of the loan to July of 2027.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not lend any additional funds to CBOP. This equity investment was fully impaired due to Equity Method accounting. These allowances and write-offs were recorded as losses from investments in unconsolidated entities. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s equity in loss of CBOP was $261,000 and $278,000, respectively, but was not recorded due to prior losses.

 

Due to loans made to CBOP, CBOP is considered to be a variable interest entity of the Company.  However, as the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of CBOP, since it does not have the power to direct the operating activities that most significantly affect CBOP’s economic performance, the entity is not consolidated, but certain disclosures are provided herein.

 

The Company was approached by one of the investors in CBOP where the investor would pay off the outstanding loan, releasing the Company of its guarantee in exchange for the Company’s ownership interest in CBOP. The Company has evaluated the proposal and in return wrote off the remaining value of amounts due the Company from CBOP of $525,000. No action has been taken on the exchange.
