First Choice Healthcare Solutions Reports Second Quarter Financial Results
and 210% Increase in Revenues from Recent Acquisition
Melbourne, Fla. (August 9, 2012) – First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (OTC/BB: FCHS) (“FCHS”), a company developing and acquiring efficient multi-specialty medical centers, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, increased 210% to $1,192,033, compared to revenues of $384,518 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and increased approximately 261% over first quarter 2012 revenue of $330,216. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $1,522,249, compared to $696,715 for the prior year period, or an increase of approximately 119%. This increase was due to medical segment revenues from the first multi-specialty medical center, First Choice Medical Group of Brevard (“FCMG”), which was acquired on April 2, 2012.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 were $1,162,202, compared to $304,216 for the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to costs of acquiring and operating the FCMG medical center. Also, one time professional and other expenses related to the acquisition of FCMG reduced net income from operations for the second quarter to $29,831, compared to $80,302 for the prior year period and resulted in a net loss of $69,358 for the first half of 2012.
Commenting on the second quarter financial performance of FCHS, Chris Romandetti, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with our financial performance for the quarter and excited about the the performance of our medical operations segment, that reflected the revenue contribution of FCMG, our flagship multi-specialty medical center. To see net patient service revenues of $909,617 and net income of $58,866 for the medical operations segment is a remarkable accomplishment for our first center, which has only been under FCHS ownership for 90 days and is operating at less than 10% of its capacity. The accretive effect of this acquisition validates our business plan and reinforces our enthusiasm for continued growth and profitability.”

First Choice Healthcare Solutions (FCHS) is taking a fresh, innovative approach to the management of medical group practices by forming a network of efficient, professional Multi-Specialty Medical Centers through the acquisition of solo or group practices, or by developing new ones from the ground up. FCHS provides a broad range of high-quality management services to each Multi-Specialty Medical Center. Each center will be comprised of a mix of medical specialists to include orthopedics, neurology and pain management, and potentially others, with high usage of certain ancillary services. The Multi-Specialty Medical Centers will be housed in state-of-the-art facilities that will accommodate an array of diagnostic and rehabilitative services. This model allows physicians to focus on practicing medicine while providing patients with high-quality care and a superior experience. FCHS completed the acquisition of its first Multi-Specialty Medical Center in April 2012.
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Ø | 2Q12 Financial Results: Generated medical revenue of $909,617 and positive operating income in first quarter of ownership of flagship Multi-Specialty Medical Center with facility operating at less than 10% of capacity. | |
Ø | Leveraging Unprecedented Fundamental Shifts in the Multibillion-Dollar Healthcare Sector: Changes in the field of medicine are making it increasingly attractive from operational and financial standpoints for physicians to join FCHS Multi-Specialty Medical Centers to handle non-clinical practice management and drive efficiencies. |
Ø | Highly Scalable, Capital-efficient Business Model: FCHS expects its business model is scalable for expansion, and will produce fairly consistent and predictable cash flow from operations. The Company anticipates a benefit from economies of scale as new centers are added. |
Ø | Drives Practice Revenues and Operational Efficiencies, Captures Ancillary Services Revenues: Each center will include ancillary diagnostic and rehabilitative services that are frequently used by physicians in the Multi-Specialty Medical Centers, which support higher practice revenues and physician compensation. |
Ø | Proven Management Team: Executives have a history of successes and extensive sector-specific experience. |
Ø | Tremendous Growth Potential: Given the large number of physician group practices (100 centers would account for less than 1% of U.S. physicians), FCHS envisions virtually unlimited growth opportunities. |
FAVORABLE INDUSTRY DYNAMICS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
