CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements under the captions “Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this report constitute “forward-looking statements.” Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations thereon, or by discussions of strategies that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results or industry results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include general economic and business conditions; our ability to implement our business strategies; competition; availability of key personnel; increasing operating costs; unsuccessful promotional efforts; changes in brand awareness; acceptance of new product offerings; and changes in, or the failure to comply with government regulations. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
In this report, for example, we make forward-looking statements, including statements discussing our expectations about: future financial performance and condition; future liquidity and capital resources; future cash flows; existing debt; our business strategy and operating philosophy; effects of competition in our markets; costs of providing care to our patients; our compliance with new and existing laws and regulations as well as costs and benefits associated with compliance; the impact of national healthcare reform; other income from electronic health records (“EHR”); the impact of accounting methodologies; industry and general economic trends; patient shifts to lower cost healthcare plans which generally provide lower reimbursement; reimbursement changes; patient volumes and related revenues; claims and legal actions relating to professional liabilities; governmental investigations and voluntary self-disclosures; and physician recruiting and retention.
Throughout this report the first personal plural pronoun in the nominative case form “we” and its objective case form “us”, its possessive and the intensive case forms “our” and “ourselves” and its reflexive form “ourselves” refer collectively to Foundation Healthcare, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
i
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, has been derived from audited financial statements, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K.
The consolidated statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. The results for any interim period may not be comparable to the same interim period in the previous year or necessarily indicative of earnings for the full year.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Business
Foundation Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) is organized under the laws of the state of Oklahoma and owns controlling and noncontrolling interests in surgical hospitals located in Texas. The Company also owns noncontrolling interests in ambulatory surgery centers (“ASCs”) located in Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio. The Company provides management services to a majority of the facilities that it has noncontrolling interests (referred to as “Affiliates”) under the terms of various management agreements.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
Going Concern and Management’s Plan – As of March 31, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $38.6 million and a working capital deficit of $0.6 million (adjusted for redemption payments of $1.7 million payable to preferred noncontrolling interest holders in 2015). During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company generated a net loss attributable to Foundation Healthcare common stock of $1.3 million and generated $0.9 million in cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million and have access to $1.0 million under a $2.5 million line of credit from its senior lender. Although the Company has access to a line of credit, management, based on existing operations and the due dates of certain liability and debt payments, projects the Company may not be able to meet all of the Company’s obligations as they become due in 2015. Management plans to meet the projected cash flow shortage from management fees earned from new hospital partners the Company anticipates procuring in 2015.
If the Company is unable to procure the management contracts as noted above, the Company may be forced to obtain extensions on existing debt and other obligations as they become due in 2015. Although the Company has historically been successful in obtaining extensions, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain them in the future. In addition, the Company may choose to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or assets, but there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing such actions.
If the Company is not able to obtain incremental management fees from new hospital partners, does not obtain extensions on some of its debt or other obligations during 2015 or if the Company is not able to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or assets, the Company may not have sufficient cash on hand or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet the Company’s cash requirements over the next 12 months. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Reverse Stock Split – At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 12, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of its common stock at a ratio between 1-for-3 to 1-for-10 shares. The Company’s stockholders further authorized the board of directors to determine the ratio at which the reverse split would be effected by filing an appropriate amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The Company’s board of directors authorized the ratio of the reverse split and corresponding reduction in authorized shares on December 29, 2014 and effective at the close of business on January 8, 2015, the Company amended its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-10 reverse split of its common stock, or the Reverse Split. The board of directors considered a ratio that would allow the Company to have a number of outstanding shares to have a sufficient trading volume while considering stock price that would be consistent with the Company’s intention to eventually uplist of its common stock from the OTC Markets QB Tier to a listing on the NYSE MKT exchange, though there can be no assurance that we will ultimately pursue or be successful in seeking to uplist the Company’s common stock on such exchange. The Board of Directors determined that a ratio of 1-for-10 was the best balance of these and other factors. The effect of the reverse split reduced the Company’s outstanding common stock shares from 172,638,414 to 17,263,842 shares as of the date of the reverse split. The accompanying consolidated financial statements give effect to the reverse split as of the first date reported.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a complete list of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Interim Financial Information – The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and in accordance with Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements.
Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned, majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company accounts for its investments in Affiliates in which the Company exhibits significant influence, but does not control, in accordance with the equity method of accounting. The Company does not consolidate its equity method investments, but rather measures them at their initial costs and then subsequently adjusts their carrying values through income for their respective shares of the earnings or losses during the period. The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the companies and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.
Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable – The Company recognizes revenues in the period in which services are performed and billed. Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payors and patients. The Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. Amounts the Company receives for treatment of patients covered by governmental programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and other third-party payors such as health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other private insurers are generally less than the Company’s established billing rates. Additionally, to provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, the revenues and accounts receivable reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are recorded at the net amount expected to be received.
Contractual Discounts and Cost Report Settlements – The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from its established billing rates. The Company must estimate the total amount of these discounts to prepare its consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and are subject to interpretation and adjustment. The Company estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management. Changes in estimates related to the allowance for contractual discounts affect revenues reported in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Cost report settlements under reimbursement agreements with Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare are estimated and recorded in the period the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. There is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term. The estimated net cost report settlements due to the Company were $917,665 and $617,955 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively, and are included in prepaid and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We adjusted our cost report estimate by $299,710 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 based on our final filed cost report for 2013 and an estimate of the 2014 cost report. The Company’s management believes that adequate provisions have been made for adjustments that may result from final determination of amounts earned under these programs.
6
Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Provision and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The primary uncertainty lies with uninsured patient receivables and deductibles, co-payments or other amounts due from individual patients.
The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts that relies on a number of analytical tools and benchmarks to arrive at a reasonable allowance. No single statistic or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Some of the analytical tools that the Company utilizes include, but are not limited to, the aging of accounts receivable, historical cash collection experience, revenue trends by payor classification, revenue days in accounts receivable, the status of claims submitted to third party payors, reason codes for declined claims and an assessment of the Company’s ability to address the issue and resubmit the claim and whether a patient is on a payment plan and making payments consistent with that plan. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with the Company’s policies.
Due to the nature of the healthcare industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, certain estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values at the time products or services are provided. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available, which could have a material impact on the Company’s operating results and cash flows in subsequent periods. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded.
The patient and their third party insurance provider typically share in the payment for the Company’s products and services. The amount patients are responsible for includes co-payments, deductibles, and amounts not covered due to the provider being out-of-network. Due to uncertainties surrounding deductible levels and the number of out-of-network patients, the Company is not certain of the full amount of patient responsibility at the time of service. The Company estimates amounts due from patients prior to service and generally collects those amounts prior to service. Remaining amounts due from patients are then billed following completion of service.

Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Certificates of deposit with original maturities of more than three months are also considered cash equivalents if there are no restrictions on withdrawing funds from the account.
Restricted Cash – As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had restricted cash of approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million respectively, included in prepaid and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash at March 31, 2015 was pledged as collateral against certain debt of the Company.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets – The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis and more frequently if certain indicators are encountered. Goodwill is to be tested at the reporting unit level, defined as an ASC or hospital (referred to as a component), with the fair value of the reporting unit being compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired. The Company will complete its annual impairment test in December 2015.
Intangible assets other than goodwill which include physician membership interests, service contracts and covenants not to compete are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The remaining lives range from three to nine
7
years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Net income (loss) per share – Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share are excluded from the calculation.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Adopted Guidance
On January 1, 2015, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to the reporting of discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. These changes require a disposal of a component to meet a higher threshold in order to be reported as a discontinued operation in an entity’s financial statements. The threshold is defined as a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results such as a disposal of a major geographical area or a major line of business. Additionally, the following two criteria have been removed from consideration of whether a component meets the requirements for discontinued operations presentation: (i) the operations and cash flows of a disposal component have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of an entity as a result of the disposal transaction, and (ii) an entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposal component after the disposal transaction. Furthermore, equity method investments now may qualify for discontinued operations presentation. These changes also require expanded disclosures for all disposals of components of an entity, whether or not the threshold for reporting as a discontinued operation is met, related to profit or loss information and/or asset and liability information of the component. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Issued Guidance
In January 2015, the FASB issued changes to the presentation of extraordinary items. Such items are defined as transactions or events that are both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence, and, currently, are required to be presented separately in an entity’s income statement, net of income tax, after income from continuing operations. The changes eliminate the concept of an extraordinary item and, therefore, the presentation of such items will no longer be required. Notwithstanding this change, an entity will still be required to present and disclose a transaction or event that is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence in the notes to the financial statements. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued changes to the analysis that an entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. These changes (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with variable interest entities, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and (iv) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. These changes become effective for us on January 1, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued changes to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. These changes created a comprehensive framework for all entities in all industries to apply in the determination of when to recognize revenue, and, therefore, supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition requirements and guidance. This framework is expected to result in less complex guidance in application while providing a consistent and comparable methodology for revenue recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued changes to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Even if an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be
8
conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Because there is no guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related note disclosures, there is diversity in practice with respect to whether, when, and how an entity discloses the relevant conditions and events in its financial statements. As a result, these changes require an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt is defined as an indication that it is probable that an entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. If management has concluded that substantial doubt exists, then the following disclosures should be made in the financial statements: (i) principal conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt, (ii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, (iii) management’s plans that alleviated the initial substantial doubt or, if substantial doubt was not alleviated, management’s plans that are intended to at least mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, and (iv) if the latter in (iii) is disclosed, an explicit statement that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes become effective for the Company for the 2016 annual period. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to adoption, this guidance will need to be applied by management at the end of each annual period and interim period therein to determine what, if any, impact there will be on the consolidated financial statements in a given reporting period.
Note 4 – Discontinued Operations
In 2013, the Company committed to a plan to divest of or close certain sleep diagnostic and sleep therapy locations. The decision was based on a combination of the financial performance of the facilities and the shift in focus to surgical hospitals. As a result of the pending closure or sale of these locations, the related assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows were classified as discontinued operations which were acquired by the Company in the reverse acquisition.
Under this plan, from July 2013 to October 2013, the Company closed or sold 24 sleep diagnostic locations including both IDTF and contracted locations in Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas and 5 sleep therapy locations in Iowa, Kansas, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas.
In 2013, the Company recorded an initial special charge liability of $475,570 related to the estimated closing costs resulting from the plan to sell or close the sleep diagnostic and therapy locations. For the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the activity in the accruals for restructuring charges established for lease termination costs were as follows:

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least once a year. Carrying values are compared with fair values, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

SNB Credit Facility
Effective June 30, 2014, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Bank SNB, National Association, and Texas Capital Bank, together referred to as Lenders and collectively the agreement is referred to as the SNB Credit Facility. The SNB Credit Facility was used to consolidate substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ debt in the principal amount of $27.5 million, which we refer to as the

Term Loan, and provides for an additional revolving loan in the amount of $2.5 million, which we refer to as the Revolving Loan. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has drawn $1.5 million of funds from the Revolving Loan. The Company also entered into a number of ancillary agreements in connection with the SNB Credit Facility, including deposit account control agreements, subsidiary guarantees, security agreements and promissory notes.
Maturity Dates. The Term Loan matures on June 30, 2021 and the Revolving Loan matures on June 30, 2016.
Interest Rates. The interest rate for the Term Loan and Revolving Loan is 30-day LIBOR plus the Applicable Margins based on our Senior Debt Ratio, as defined. The Applicable Margins are as follows:
|
Applicable Margin |
|
Senior Debt Ratio |
Revolving Loan |
Term Loan |
≥ 2.5x |
3.75% |
4.25% |
< 2.5x, but ≥ 2.0x |
3.25% |
3.75% |
< 2.0 x |
2.75% |
3.25% |
The Applicable Margins are established at 3.25% for the Revolving Loan and 3.75% for the Term Loan through March 31, 2015. Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Applicable Margins will be adjusted on a quarterly basis based on our senior debt ratio. The Senior Debt Ratio is calculated by dividing all of our indebtedness, including capital leases, which is secured by a lien or security interest in any of our assets by our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. EBITDA is defined in the SNB Credit Facility as our net income calculated before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, stock compensation, gains arising from the write-up of assets, extraordinary gains and any one-time expenses approved by Bank SNB.
Interest and Principal Payments. We are required to make quarterly payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan. The first four quarterly payments on the Term Loan will be $875,000 plus all accrued and unpaid interest. Each subsequent quarterly payment will be $1,000,000 plus all accrued and unpaid interest. We are required to make quarterly payments on the Revolving Loan equal to the accrued and unpaid interest. All unpaid principal and interest on the Term Loan and Revolving Loan must be paid on the respective maturity dates of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2016.
Permitted Acquisitions. We must obtain the Lenders approval for any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the consideration paid for the acquisition, merger or consolidation is in excess of $1 million or for any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the target entity’s operating income for the preceding 12 month period is less than zero.
Mandatory Prepayments. If we sell any assets in excess of $100,000 or collectively sell any assets in a 12 month period in excess of $100,000, we must make a prepayment equal to the net proceeds of the asset sale(s). If we receive proceeds from a debt or equity offering that is not used for a permitted acquisition over a 12 month period following the offering or for repayment of our preferred noncontrolling interests, we must make a prepayment equal to the net proceeds of the debt or equity offering. Subsequent to the completion of our annual audited financial statements, we must make a prepayment equal to 30% of our Excess Cash Flow which is defined as the amount of EBITDA (as defined in the SNB Credit Facility) for the fiscal year that exceeds the sum of debt service payments plus capital expenditures plus cash payments for federal, state and local income taxes, plus distributions made by the hospitals that the Company holds a noncontrolling interest (“Equity Owned Hospitals”) to persons other than us.
Voluntary Prepayments. We may prepay amounts under the Term Loan at any time provided that we are required to pay a prepayment penalty of 2% of the amount prepaid if payment is made prior to the first anniversary, 1.5% if the prepayment is made after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary and 1% if the prepayment is made after the second anniversary but prior to the maturity date. We may prepay amounts under the Revolving Loan at any time without penalty.
Guaranties. Each of our direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries jointly and severally and unconditionally guaranty payment of our obligations owed to Lenders.
Financial Covenants:
Senior Debt Ratio. The Company must maintain a Senior Debt Ratio not in excess of 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, the Senior Debt Ratio was 2.11.
Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio. We must maintain a Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.30 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014. The Senior Debt Service Coverage ratio is the ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the SNB Credit Facility) for the preceding four fiscal quarters minus cash payments for federal, state and local taxes, minus capital expenditures to our debt service payments for the same period. As of March 31, 2015, our Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio was 1.88.
12
Adjusted Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio. The Company must maintain an Adjusted Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.05 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014. The Adjusted Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio is the ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the SNB Credit Facility) for the preceding four fiscal quarters minus cash payments for federal, state and local taxes, minus capital expenditures, plus distributions made to our preferred noncontrolling interest holders, plus distributions made by our Equity Owned Hospitals to persons other than us to our debt service payments for the same period. As of March 31, 2015, the Adjusted Senior Debt Service Ratio was 1.32.
Annualized EBITDA. Until June 30, 2015 and for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants in SNB Credit Facility, EBITDA shall be determined by annualizing EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2014 and each quarter that has elapsed thereafter.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants.
Restrictions on Indebtedness. The Company and its Equity Owned Hospitals are not allowed to create any indebtedness other than indebtedness for the purchase of fixed assets not exceeding $500,000 in any fiscal year, trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business and not past due, contingent obligations and unsecured indebtedness not exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate at any time outstanding.
Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Term Loan were used solely for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The proceeds of the Revolving Loan will be used for working capital.
Collateral. Payment and performance of our obligations under the SNB Credit Facility are secured in general by all of our assets.
Defaults and Remedies. In addition to the general defaults of failure to perform our obligations under the Loan Agreement, events of default also include the occurrence of a change in control, as defined, and the loss of our Medicare or Medicaid certification, collateral casualties, entry of a judgment of $150,000 or more, failure of first liens on collateral and the termination of any of our management agreements that represent more than 10% of our management fees for the preceding 18 month period. In the event of a monetary default, all of the Company’s obligations due under the SNB Credit Facility shall become immediately due and payable. In the event of a non-monetary default, the Company has 10 days or in some cases three days to cure before Bank SNB has the right to declare our obligations due under the SNB Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

Note 7 – Preferred Noncontrolling Interests
During 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Foundation Health Enterprises, LLC (“FHE”) completed a private placement offering of $9,135,000. The offering was comprised of 87 units (“FHE Unit” or “preferred noncontrolling interest”). Each FHE Unit was offered at $105,000 and entitled the purchaser to one (1) Class B membership interest in FHE, valued at $100,000, and 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $5,000. The total consideration of $9,135,000 was comprised of $8,700,000 attributable to the preferred noncontrolling interest and $435,000 attributable to the 870,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The FHE Units provide for a cumulative preferred annual return of 9% on the amount allocated to the Class B membership interests. The FHE Units will be redeemed by FHE in four annual installments beginning in July 2014. The FHE Unit holders agreed to defer the first installment payment until March 2015. The first installment was paid on April 1, 2015. The first three installments shall be in the amount of $10,000 per FHE Unit and the fourth installment will be in the amount of the unreturned capital contribution and any undistributed preferred distributions. The FHE Units are convertible at the election of the holder at any time prior to the complete redemption into restricted common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $2.00 per share. Since the FHE Units have a redemption feature and a conversion feature which the Company determined to be substantive, the preferred noncontrolling interests has been recorded at the mezzanine level in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the corresponding dividends are recorded as a reduction of accumulated deficit.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies
Legal claims – The Company is exposed to asserted and unasserted legal claims encountered in the normal course of business, including claims for damages for personal injuries, medical malpractice, breach of contracts, wrongful restriction of or interference with physicians’ staff privileges and employment related claims. In certain of these actions, plaintiffs request payment for damages, including punitive damages that may not be covered by insurance. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the operating results or the financial position of the Company. There were no settlement expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 related to the Company’s ongoing unasserted legal claims.
Self-insurance – Effective January 1, 2014, the Company began using a combination of insurance and self-insurance for employee-related healthcare benefits. The self-insurance liability is determined actuarially, based on the actual claims filed and an estimate of incurred but not reported claims. Self-insurance reserves as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $419,663 and $560,851, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining fair value, the accounting standards established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entity’s own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:
· |
Level 1 – Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
· |
Level 2 – Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
· |
Level 3 – Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. Inputs would normally be a reporting entity’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements: The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities is their cost, which may differ from fair value. The carrying value of cash held as demand deposits, money market and certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value. At March 31, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion was determined to be approximately equal to its carrying value.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements: During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities recorded using nonrecurring fair value measurements.
Note 10 – Real Estate Transaction
On March 1, 2014, the Company executed a 15 year master lease on the building occupied by the Company’s hospital subsidiary in San Antonio, Texas (“FBH SA”) for an annual rent of $2.3 million with annual escalations of 3%. The current lease income on the underlying sub-lease is approximately $2.1 million per year which includes the rent paid by FBH SA. The master lease is an operating lease. In conjunction with the master lease and certain other agreements with the landlord, the Company received $4.1 million at the time of the lease. Given the disparity between the annual rent expense under the master lease and the rental income of the underlying sub-lease, the cash received at the execution of the lease was deferred and will be recorded on a straight-line basis as a reduction in the rent expense under the master lease.
Note 11 – Related Party Transactions
Effective June 1, 2014, the Company’s hospital subsidiary located in El Paso, Texas entered into a sublease agreement with The New Sleep Lab International, Ltd., referred to as New Sleep. New Sleep is controlled by Dr. Robert Moreno, one of our Directors. The
14
sublease with New Sleep calls for monthly rent payments of $8,767 and the sublease expires on November 30, 2018. The space subleased from New Sleep will be sublet to physician partners and casual uses of our hospital and is located in a building that also houses one of our imaging facilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred approximately $26,400 in lease expense under the terms of the lease.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $0.1 million on deposit at Valliance Bank. Valliance Bank is controlled by Mr. Roy T. Oliver, one of our greater than 5% shareholders. A non-controlling interest in Valliance Bank is held by Mr. Joseph Harroz, Jr., a director of the Company. Mr. Stanton Nelson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Harroz also serve as directors of Valliance Bank.
The Company has office space subject to a lease agreement with City Place, LLC (“City Place”). Under the lease agreement, the Company pays monthly rent of $17,970 until June 30, 2014; $0.00 from July 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015 and $17,970 from February 1, 2015 to March 31, 2017 plus additional payments for allocable basic expenses of City Place; the lease expires on March 31, 2017. A non-controlling interest in City Place is held by Roy T. Oliver, one of the Company’s greater than 5% shareholders. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred approximately $23,300 and $22,000, respectively, in lease expense under the terms of the lease.
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has obligations of $1.4 million that are owed to the Company’s majority shareholder, Foundation Healthcare Affiliates, LLC (“FHA”) and certain real estate subsidiaries and affiliates of FHA related to transactions that occurred prior to the Foundation acquisition in July 2013. The amounts owed to FHA and FHA affiliates are included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has entered into agreements with certain of its Affiliate ASCs and hospitals to provide management services. As compensation for these services, the surgery centers and hospitals are charged management fees which are either fixed or are based on a percentage of the Affiliates cash collected or the Affiliates net revenue. The percentages range from 2.25% to 6.0%.
Note 12 – Subsequent Events
Management evaluated all activity of the Company and concluded that no material subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Company Overview
We own and manage facilities which operate in the rapidly growing specialized surgical segment of the healthcare industry. Today, our network consists of five surgical hospitals, eight ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) and three hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) in the Southeastern United States. Our growth strategy involves increasing our footprint in our current markets by acquiring controlling interests in surgical hospitals, nearby ASCs and ancillary service facilities where we currently own a non-controlling interest. ASCs affiliated with surgical hospitals are known as HOPDs and generally benefit from higher payment rates from governmental insurance and other payors as compared with unaffiliated ASCs, and both the hospitals and affiliated outpatient surgery centers benefit from regional branding, increased operating efficiencies and lower costs through economies of scale. We believe that having the ability to perform procedures at surgical hospitals for more complex surgeries and at ASCs or HOPDs for same-day surgeries, coupled with the ability to provide other related non-surgical services, will enable us to capture an increasing share of surgical volumes in the markets in which we serve and to generate strong patient outcomes and satisfaction. We provide management services to a majority of our Affiliates under the terms of various management agreements.
We focus primarily on investing in and managing high quality cost-effective surgical hospitals that meet the needs of patients, physicians and payors. We believe the facilities we invest in and manage provide an enhanced quality of care to our patients while providing administrative, clinical and economic benefits to physicians. Our facilities currently provide general surgeries and in such specialties as orthopedics, neurosurgery, pain management, podiatry, gynecology, optometry, gastroenterology and pediatric ENT (tubes/adenoids). Our facilities also provide wound care, sleep management, radiology, imaging and other ancillary services. We are expanding our service offering to include additional imaging, intraoperative monitoring, robotic surgery, and physical therapy services. A key component of our success has been our strong relationships with quality physician partners. We believe our continued emphasis on physician satisfaction and productivity will continue to position us competitively in the future.
Going Concern and Management’s Plan
As of March 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $38.6 million and a working capital deficit of $0.6 million (adjusted for redemption payments of $1.7 million payable to preferred noncontrolling interest holders in 2015). During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we generated a net loss attributable to Foundation Healthcare common stock of $1.3 million and generated $0.9 million in cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations. As of March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million and have access to $1.0 million under a $2.5 million line of credit from our senior lender. Although we have access to a line of credit, management, based on existing operations and the due dates of certain liability and debt payments, projects that we may not be able to meet all of our obligations as they become due in 2015. Management plans to meet the projected cash flow shortage from additional management fees earned from new hospital partners we anticipate procuring in 2015.
If we are unable to procure the management contracts as noted above, we may be forced to obtain extensions on existing debt and other obligations as they become due in 2015. Although we have historically been successful in obtaining extensions, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain them in the future. In addition, we may choose to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or assets, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing such actions.
If we are not able to obtain incremental management fees from new hospital partners, do not obtain extensions on some of our debt or other obligations during 2015 or if we are not able to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or assets, we may not have sufficient cash on hand or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our cash requirements over the next 12 months. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Hospital and ASC Business Overview
Today, we own 51% of two surgical hospitals located in San Antonio and El Paso, Texas which are reflected in our financials as our Consolidated Hospitals. We maintain minority interests in three hospitals in Sherman and Houston, Texas and Edmond, Oklahoma and eight ASCs in five states which are referred to as Equity Owned Hospitals, Equity Owned ASCs, Equity Owned Facilities or Affiliates. We also have an interest in three HOPDs through our investments in the Sherman and Edmond hospitals. We have a management contract with one ASC in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in which we have no ownership interest. We generate revenue through our ownership interests in these surgical facilities as well as management fees for providing a variety of administrative services to most of our Equity Owned Facilities. We manage our facilities by overseeing their business office, contracting, marketing, financial reporting, accreditation, clinical, regulatory and administrative operations. We work closely with our physician partners to increase the likelihood of successful patient and financial outcomes.

Our facilities are licensed at the state level and are accredited by either the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare (AAAHC) or the Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The only exception is our ASC in Nacogdoches, Texas which meets the accreditation standards, but the governing board of this ASC has elected to not seek accreditation. We recognize that accreditation is a crucial quality benchmark for payors since many managed care organizations will not contract with a facility until it is accredited. We believe that our historical success in obtaining and retaining accreditation for our facilities reflects our commitment to providing high quality care in our facilities.
Generally, each facility is owned and operated by either a limited partnership or limited liability company in which ownership interests are held by our local physician partners who practice at the facility and by us. Our partnership and limited liability company agreements typically provide for the monthly or quarterly pro rata distribution of cash equal to net profits from operations, less amounts held in reserve for expenses and working capital. These limited partnership or limited liability company agreements generally grant us representation on the facility’s governing board and ensure our participation in fundamental decisions. Our influence over the businesses of our facilities is further enhanced by our management agreements with such facilities.
Our surgical hospitals and ASC facilities depend upon third-party reimbursement programs to pay for our services rendered to patients, including governmental Medicare and managed Medicare programs, a broad mix of private insurance programs, and co-pays, deductibles and cash payments from patients. Private payors typically employ reimbursement methodologies similar to those used by government providers. Under Medicare, our facilities are reimbursed for the services rendered through the payment of facility fees which vary depending on the type of facility (hospital, HOPD or ASC), and type of procedure. Hospitals and HOPDs are reimbursed for outpatient procedures in a manner similar to most ASCs except that the methodologies employed to calculate reimbursement rates generally result in rates that are higher than those for comparable procedures at free-standing ASCs. ASCs are reimbursed through the payment of a composite “ASC rate” which is set by us based on a survey of comparative rates, which includes payment for most of the expenses associated with the performance of a procedure such as nursing services, supplies, and staffing costs. Reimbursement rates
17
for inpatient hospital services are determined using Medicare severity diagnosis related groups which are intended to compensate hospitals according to the estimated intensity of hospital resources necessary to furnish care for a particular diagnosed illness.
Our surgical hospital and ASC facilities depend upon third-party reimbursement programs, including governmental and private insurance programs, to pay for the preponderance of the services rendered to patients. Our surgical hospital and ASC facilities derive a portion of their revenues from governmental healthcare programs, primarily Medicare and managed Medicare programs, and the remainder from a wide mix of commercial payors and patient co-pays and deductibles. Private payors typically follow the method in which the government reimburses healthcare providers. Under the government’s methodology our surgical hospital and ASC facilities are reimbursed for the performance of services through the payment of facility fees which vary according to whether the facility is a hospital or an ASC and the type of procedure that is performed. Hospitals are reimbursed for outpatient procedures in a manner similar to ASCs except that the methodologies employed to calculate reimbursement generally result in hospitals being reimbursed in this setting at a higher rate than free-standing ASCs. ASCs are reimbursed through the payment of a composite “ASC rate” which includes payment for most of the expenses associated with the performance of a procedure such as nursing services, supplies, and staffing costs. The reimbursement rates for inpatient hospital services are determined using Medicare severity diagnosis related groups which are intended to compensate hospitals according to the estimated intensity of hospital resources necessary to furnish care for a particular diagnosed illness.
Our revenues from the ASC and surgical hospital facilities are derived from (i) the pro rata distributions we receive on our ownership in the facilities, and (ii) management fees that we receive from these facilities. Such management fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the monthly net revenues. We own equity interests in all of our ASC and surgical hospital facilities except the Lake Surgery Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana which we manage. We possess management agreements with all of our facilities except for the Houston Orthopedic Surgical Hospital in Houston, Texas in which we own a 20% interest.
Reverse Stock Split
At our annual meeting of stockholders held on May 12, 2014, our stockholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio between 1-for-3 to 1-for-10 shares. Our stockholders further authorized the board of directors to determine the ratio at which the reverse split would be effected by filing an appropriate amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our board of directors authorized the ratio of the reverse split and corresponding reduction in authorized shares on December 29, 2014 and effective at the close of business on January 8, 2015, we amended our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-10 reverse split of our common stock, or the Reverse Split. All share and per share numbers included in this annual report give effect to the Reverse Split.
Changes in Equity Owned Hospitals
On January 1, 2015, Foundation Surgery Affiliates of Northwest Oklahoma City, LLC, or FSA OKC, our Equity Owned ASC located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma was sold to Summit Medical Center LLC, or Summit Hospital, in exchange for unit ownership in Summit Hospital. As part of the transaction, the units of Summit Hospital were distributed to the individual FSA OKC investors including us. As a result of the transaction, we now hold an 8% ownership interest in Summit Hospital. In addition, the ASC facility in Oklahoma City is now operated as an HOPD for Summit Hospital.
On March 31, 2015, Houston Orthopedic Surgical Hospital, L.L.C. (“HOSH”), our Equity Owned hospital in Houston, Texas, sold substantially all of its assets under an asset purchase agreement. Given that we do not exhibit control with our 20% investment in HOSH, we account for our investment on a cost or cash basis. We expect our 20% equity interest to be redeemed in 2015. The proceeds from redemption will be recorded as income as they are received.

Discussion of Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
Patient services revenue increased $8.4 million, or 43.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared with the first quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to:
● |
The addition of a new drug testing laboratory service at East El Paso Physician Medical Center, LLC (“EEPPMC”), which resulted in an increase of $7.6 million; |
● |
An increase in average reimbursement per surgical case at EEPPMC driven by an increase in inpatient spine and orthopedic cases, which resulted in an increase in patient service revenue of $0.6 million; and |
● |
An increase in surgical case volume at Foundation Surgical Hospital of San Antonio (“FSH SA”) driven primarily by an increase in bariatric procedures, which resulted in an increase in patient services revenue of $0.2 million. |
Provision for doubtful accounts was flat during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared with the first quarter of 2014. Provision for doubtful accounts as a percent of patient services revenue was 1.5% and 1.9% for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Management fees from affiliates decreased $0.1 million, or 7.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared with the first quarter of 2014. Our management fees at both our ASCs and surgical hospitals are based on a percentage of collections. Lower collections at our ASCs due to reduced volumes resulted in the decrease of $0.1 million.
Other revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 27.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared with the first quarter of 2014. In October 2014, we sold our equity investment in an ASC located in Chevy Chase, Maryland (referred to as “Chevy Chase”). During the first quarter of 2014, we received $0.5 million in distributions from Chevy Chase. The decrease resulting from Chevy Chase was offset by an excess meaningful use payment of FSH SA of $0.1 million and other miscellaneous revenue items of $0.1 million.
Income from equity investments in affiliates decreased $0.1 million, or 20.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared with the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes at our non-majority owned ASC’s.
19
Salaries and benefits decreased $0.3 million, or 3.8%, to $7.7 million from $8.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in salaries and benefits was primarily due to a reduction in corporate personnel positions and a reduction in personnel attributable to our ancillary sleep management business.
Supplies expense increased $1.2 million, or 24.5%, to $6.1 million from $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with the first quarter of 2014. Increased volumes and more complex procedures resulted in more supplies expense at FSH SA of $0.8 million and $0.4 million at EEPPMC.
Other operating expenses increased $5.1 million, or 56.7%, to $14.1 million from $9.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with the first quarter of 2014. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to $5.7 million in outsource fees related to the new drug testing laboratory services at EEPPMC which was offset by a reduction of $0.6 million in facilities and other operating expenses at EEPPMC.
Depreciation and amortization represents the depreciation expense associated with our fixed assets and the amortization attributable to our intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. Incremental depreciation from new assets was offset by exiting assets becoming fully depreciated in the quarter.
Net other expense represents primarily interest expense on borrowings reduced by interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents and the gain or loss on the sale of equity investments in affiliates. Net other expense decreased $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. The decrease is related to the impact of the BankSNB refinancing that occurred on June 30, 2014 which resulted in lower interest rates on the refinanced outstanding debt.
Discontinued operations represent the net loss from the operations of our independent diagnostic testing facilities (“IDTF”) which were classified as held for sale in 2013. The results from our discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are summarized below:

Noncontrolling interests were allocated $1.4 million and $0.4 million of net income during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Noncontrolling interests are the equity ownership interests in our majority owned hospital subsidiaries, EEPPMC and FSH SA.
Net income (loss) attributable to Foundation Healthcare. Our operations resulted in a net loss of $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million during the first quarter of 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Generally our liquidity and capital resource needs are funded from operations, loan proceeds, equity offerings and more recently, lease and other real estate financing transactions. As of March 31, 2015, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of 3.5 million and working capital of $1.2 million. We have a working capital deficit of $0.6 million after adjusting for $1.7 million of redemption payments due to preferred noncontrolling interest holders during the remainder of 2015. As of December 31, 2014, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 million and a working capital deficit of $0.2 million (adjusted for $1.7 million of redemption payments due to preferred interest holders during 2015).
20
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the first three months of 2014 when operating activities from continuing operations provided $1.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the primary sources of cash from operating activities from continuing operations were cash generated by income from continuing operations (net income increased by non-cash items) of $1.9 million, a decrease in prepaid and other current assets of $0.4 million and increases in accounts payable and other liabilities totaling $0.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the primary uses of cash from continuing operations, were increases in accounts receivables, supplies inventories and other current and noncurrent assets totaling $0.4 million and a decrease in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities totaling $1.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the primary sources of cash from operating activities from continuing operations were cash generated by income from continuing operations (net loss decreased by non-cash items) of $0.8 million and increases in accrued liabilities and other liabilities totaling $3.9 million. The primary use of cash from operating activities from continuing operations in the first three months of 2014 were an increase in accounts receivables and prepaid and other current assets totaling $0.8 million and decreases in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $2.4 million.
Cash used by operating activities from discontinued operations for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was less than $0.1 million, respectively.
Net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.6 million compared to the first three months of 2014 when investing activities from continuing operations provided $0.3 million. Investing activities during the first three months of 2015 were primarily related to distributions received from equity investments of $0.7 million which were offset by purchases of property and equipment, net of disposals, of $0.2 million. Investing activities during the first three months of 2014 were primarily related to distributions received from equity investments of $0.4 million which were offset by purchases of property and equipment of $0.6 million.
Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.8 million compared to the first three months of 2014 when financing activities from continuing operations used $2.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we received debt proceeds of $1.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and we made debt payments of $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we made distributions to noncontrolling interests of $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we paid preferred noncontrolling dividends of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
There was no financing activities from discontinued operations during the first three months of 2015. Cash used by financing activities from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of debt payments of $0.1 million.
As of March 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $38.6 million and a working capital deficit of $0.6 million (adjusted for redemption payments of $1.7 million payable to preferred noncontrolling interest holders in 2015). During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we generated a net loss attributable to Foundation Healthcare common stock of $1.3 million and generated $0.9 million in cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations. As of March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million and have access to $1.0 million under a $2.5 million line of credit from our senior lender. Although we have access to a line of credit, management, based on existing operations and the due dates of certain liability and debt payments, projects that we may not be able to meet all of our obligations as they become due in 2015. Management plans to meet the projected cash flow shortage from additional management fees earned from new hospital partners we anticipate procuring in 2015.
If we are unable to procure the management contracts as noted above, we may be forced to obtain extensions on existing debt and other obligations as they become due in 2015. Although we have historically been successful in obtaining extensions, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain them in the future. In addition, we may choose to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or assets, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing such actions.
If we are not able to obtain incremental management fees from new hospital partners, do not obtain extensions on some of our debt or other obligations during 2015 or if we are not able to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or assets, we may not have sufficient cash on hand or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our cash requirements over the next 12 months. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
SNB Credit Facility
Effective June 30, 2014, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Bank SNB, National Association, and Texas Capital Bank, together referred to as Lenders and collectively the agreement is referred to as the SNB Credit Facility. The SNB Credit Facility was used to consolidate all of our and our subsidiaries’ debt in the principal amount of $27.5 million, which we refer to as the Term Loan, and provides for an additional revolving loan in the amount of $2.5 million, which we refer to as the Revolving Loan. We have also
21
entered into a number of ancillary agreements in connection with the SNB Credit Facility, including deposit account control agreements, subsidiary guarantees, security agreements and promissory notes.
Maturity Dates. The Term Loan matures on June 30, 2021 and the Revolving Loan matures on June 30, 2016.
Interest Rates. The interest rate for the Term Loan and Revolving Loan is 30-day LIBOR plus the Applicable Margins based on our Senior Debt Ratio, as defined. The Applicable Margins are as follows:
|
Applicable Margin |
|
Senior Debt Ratio |
Revolving Loan |
Term Loan |
≥ 2.5x |
3.75% |
4.25% |
< 2.5x, but ≥ 2.0x |
3.25% |
3.75% |
< 2.0 x |
2.75% |
3.25% |
The Applicable Margins are adjusted on a quarterly basis based on our senior debt ratio. As of March 31, 2015, the Applicable Margins are 3.25% for the Revolving Loan and 3.75% for the Term Loan.
The Senior Debt Ratio is calculated by dividing all of our indebtedness, including capital leases that is secured by a lien or security interest in any of our assets by our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. EBITDA is defined in the SNB Credit Facility as our net income calculated before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, stock compensation, gains arising from the write-up of assets, extraordinary gains and any one-time expenses approved by Bank SNB.
Interest and Principal Payments. We are required to make quarterly payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan. The first four quarterly payments on the Term Loan will be $875,000 plus all accrued and unpaid interest. Each subsequent quarterly payment will be $1,000,000 plus all accrued and unpaid interest. We are required to make quarterly payments on the Revolving Loan equal to the accrued and unpaid interest. All unpaid principal and interest on the Term Loan and Revolving Loan must be paid on the respective maturity dates of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2016.
Permitted Acquisitions. We must obtain the Lenders approval for any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the consideration paid for the acquisition, merger or consolidation is in excess of $1 million or for any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the target entity’s operating income for the preceding 12 month period is less than zero.
Mandatory Prepayments. If we sell any assets in excess of $100,000 or collectively sell any assets in a 12 month period in excess of $100,000, we must make a prepayment equal to the net proceeds of the asset sale(s). If we receive proceeds from a debt or equity offering that is not used for a Permitted Acquisition over a 12 month period following the offering or for repayment of our preferred noncontrolling interests, we must make a prepayment equal to the net proceeds of the debt or equity offering. Subsequent to the completion of our annual audited financial statements, we must make a prepayment equal to 30% of our Excess Cash Flow which is defined as the amount of EBITDA (as defined in the SNB Credit Facility) for the fiscal year that exceeds the sum of debt service payments plus capital expenditures plus cash payments for federal, state and local income taxes, plus distributions made by our Equity Owned Hospitals to persons other than us.
Voluntary Prepayments. We may prepay amounts under the Term Loan at any time provided that we are required to pay a prepayment penalty of 2% of the amount prepaid if payment is made prior to the first anniversary, 1.5% if the prepayment is made after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary and 1% if the prepayment is made after the second anniversary but prior to the maturity date. We may prepay amounts under the Revolving Loan at any time without penalty.
Guaranties. Each of our direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries jointly and severally and unconditionally guaranty payment of our obligations owed to Lenders.
Financial Covenants:
Senior Debt Ratio. We must maintain a Senior Debt Ratio not in excess of 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014. As of March 31, 2015 our Senior Debt Ratio was 2.11.
Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio. We must maintain a Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.30 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014. The Senior Debt Service Coverage ratio is the ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the SNB Credit Facility) for the preceding four fiscal quarters minus cash payments for federal, state and local taxes, minus capital expenditures to our debt service payments for the same period. As of March 31, 2015, our Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio was 1.88.
22
Adjusted Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio. We must maintain an Adjusted Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.05 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014. The Adjusted Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio is the ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the SNB Credit Facility) for the preceding four fiscal quarters minus cash payments for federal, state and local taxes, minus capital expenditures, plus distributions made to our preferred noncontrolling interest holders, plus distributions made by our Equity Owned Hospitals to persons other than us to our debt service payments for the same period. As of March 31, 2015, our Adjusted Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio was 1.32.
Annualized EBITDA. Until June 30, 2015 and for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants in SNB Credit Facility, EBITDA shall be determined by annualizing EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2014 and each quarter that has elapsed thereafter.
Restrictions on Indebtedness. We and our Equity Owned Hospitals are not allowed to create any indebtedness other than indebtedness for the purchase of fixed assets not exceeding $500,000 in any fiscal year, trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business and not past due, contingent obligations and unsecured indebtedness not exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate at any time outstanding.
Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Term Loan were used solely for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The proceeds of the Revolving Loan will be used for working capital.
Collateral. Payment and performance of our obligations under the SNB Credit Facility are secured in general by all of our assets.
Defaults and Remedies. In addition to the general defaults of failure to perform our obligations under the Loan Agreement, events of default also include the occurrence of a change in control, as defined, and the loss of our Medicare or Medicaid certification, collateral casualties, entry of a judgment of $150,000 or more, failure of first liens on collateral and the termination of any of our management agreements that represent more than 10% of our management fees for the preceding 18 month period. In the event of a monetary default, all of our obligations due under the SNB Credit Facility shall become immediately due and payable. In the event of a non-monetary default, we have 10 days or in some cases three days to cure before Bank SNB has the right to declare our obligations due under the SNB Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s prudent judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management believes that any reasonable deviation from those judgments and estimates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. To the extent that the estimates used differ from actual results, however, adjustments to the statement of earnings and corresponding balance sheet accounts would be necessary. These adjustments would be made in future statements. For a complete discussion of all our significant accounting policies please see our 2013 annual report on Form 10-K. Some of the more significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and goodwill and intangible asset impairment. We use the following methods to determine our estimates:
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable – We recognize revenues in the period in which services are performed and charged. Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from third-party payors and patients. Our ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. Amounts we receives for treatment of patients covered by governmental programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and other third-party payors such as health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations and other private insurers are generally less than our established billing rates. Additionally, to provide
23
for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future, we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. Accordingly, the revenues and accounts receivable reported in our consolidated financial statements are recorded at the net amount expected to be received.
Contractual Discounts and Cost Report Settlements – We derive a significant portion of our revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from its established billing rates. We must estimate the total amount of these discounts to prepare its consolidated financial statements. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex and are subject to interpretation and adjustment. We estimate the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. These interpretations sometimes result in payments that differ from our estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management. Changes in estimates related to the allowance for contractual discounts affect revenues reported in our consolidated statements of operations.
Cost report settlements under reimbursement agreements with Medicare and Medicaid are estimated and recorded in the period the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. There is a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.
Laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. We believe that we are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of potential wrongdoing that would have a material effect on our financial statements. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Provision and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – To provide for accounts receivable that could become uncollectible in the future; we establish an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce the carrying value of such receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The primary uncertainty lies with uninsured patient receivables and deductibles, co-payments or other amounts due from individual patients.
We have an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts that relies on a number of analytical tools and benchmarks to arrive at a reasonable allowance. No single statistic or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Some of the analytical tools that we utilizes include, but are not limited to, the aging of accounts receivable, historical cash collection experience, revenue trends by payor classification, revenue days in accounts receivable, the status of claims submitted to third party payors, reason codes for declined claims and an assessment of our ability to address the issue and resubmit the claim and whether a patient is on a payment plan and making payments consistent with that plan. Accounts receivable are written off after collection efforts have been followed in accordance with our policies.
Due to the nature of the healthcare industry and the reimbursement environment in which we operate, certain estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values at the time services are provided. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available, which could have a material impact on our operating results and cash flows in subsequent periods. Specifically, the complexity of many third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain services from certain payors may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded.
The patient and their third party insurance provider typically share in the payment for our services. The amount patients are responsible for includes co-payments, deductibles, and amounts not covered due to the provider being out-of-network. Due to uncertainties surrounding deductible levels and the number of out-of-network patients, we are not certain of the full amount of patient responsibility at the time of service. We estimate amounts due from patients prior to service and generally collects those amounts prior to service. Remaining amounts due from patients are then billed following completion of service.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets – We evaluates goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis and more frequently if certain indicators are encountered. Goodwill is to be tested at the reporting unit level, defined as an ASC or hospital (referred to as a component), with the fair value of the reporting unit being compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired.
Intangible assets other than goodwill which include physician membership interests, service contracts and covenants not to compete are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The remaining lives range from three to nine years. We evaluate the recoverability of identifiable intangible asset whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Adopted Guidance
On January 1, 2015, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to the reporting of discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. These changes require a disposal of a component to meet a higher threshold in order to be reported as a discontinued operation in an entity’s financial statements. The threshold is defined as a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results such as a disposal of a major geographical area or a major line of business. Additionally, the following two criteria have been removed from consideration of whether a component meets the requirements for discontinued operations presentation: (i) the operations and cash flows of a disposal component have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of an entity as a result of the disposal transaction, and (ii) an entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposal component after the disposal transaction. Furthermore, equity method investments now may qualify for discontinued operations presentation. These changes also require expanded disclosures for all disposals of components of an entity, whether or not the threshold for reporting as a discontinued operation is met, related to profit or loss information and/or asset and liability information of the component. The adoption of these changes had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Issued Guidance
In January 2015, the FASB issued changes to the presentation of extraordinary items. Such items are defined as transactions or events that are both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence, and, currently, are required to be presented separately in an entity’s income statement, net of income tax, after income from continuing operations. The changes eliminate the concept of an extraordinary item and, therefore, the presentation of such items will no longer be required. Notwithstanding this change, an entity will still be required to present and disclose a transaction or event that is both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence in the notes to the financial statements. These changes become effective for us on January 1, 2016. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued changes to the analysis that an entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. These changes (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with variable interest entities, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and (iv) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. These changes become effective for us on January 1, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued changes to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. These changes created a comprehensive framework for all entities in all industries to apply in the determination of when to recognize revenue, and, therefore, supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition requirements and guidance. This framework is expected to result in less complex guidance in application while providing a consistent and comparable methodology for revenue recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. These changes become effective for us on January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued changes to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Even if an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Because there is no guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related note disclosures, there is diversity in practice whether, when, and how an entity discloses the relevant conditions and events in its financial statements. As a result, these changes require an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt is defined as an indication that it is probable that an entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. If management has concluded that substantial doubt exists, then the following disclosures should be made in the financial statements: (i) principal conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt, (ii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations, (iii) management’s plans that alleviated the initial substantial doubt or, if substantial doubt was not alleviated, management’s plans that are intended to at least
25
mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, and (iv) if the latter in (iii) is disclosed, an explicit statement that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. These changes become effective for us for the 2016 annual period. We have determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to adoption, this guidance will need to be applied by management at the end of each annual period and interim period therein to determine what, if any, impact there will be on the consolidated financial statements in a given reporting period.
We are a smaller reporting entity as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and as such, are not required to provide the information required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K with respect to Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management (with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of March 31, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
26
In the normal course of business, we may become involved in litigation or in legal proceedings. We are not aware of any such litigation or legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K
Cashless Stock Grant Vesting. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we acquired, by means of net share settlements, 15,813 shares of Foundation common stock, at a price of $4.00 per share, related to the vesting of employee restricted stock awards to satisfy withholding tax obligations. We do not have any on-going stock repurchase programs.
We do not have anything to report under this Item.
