NOTE 1 —BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:

 

General

 

The (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which has been derived from the audited financial statements of First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“FCHS” and including, where appropriate, its consolidated subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, the “Company”), and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2016 of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. To determine if we hold a controlling financial interest in an entity, we first evaluate if we are required to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity, otherwise the entity is evaluated under the voting interest model.

 

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2016.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Effective April 4, 2012, Medical Billing Assistance, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Medical Billing”), merged with and into the Company. The effect of the merger was that Medical Billing reincorporated from Colorado to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). The Company is deemed to be the successor issuer of Medical Billing under Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

As a result of the Reincorporation, the Company changed its name to First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and its shares underwent an effective four-for-one reverse split. Other than the foregoing, the Reincorporation did not result in any change in the business, management, fiscal year, accounting, and location of the principal executive offices, assets or liabilities of the Company.

 

On April 2, 2012, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary FCID Medical, Inc., completed its acquisition of First Choice Medical Group of Brevard, LLC (“First Choice – Brevard”), pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Closing Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Company has been managing the practice of First Choice – Brevard since November 1, 2011, pursuant to a Management Services Agreement.

 

Brevard Orthopaedic Spine & Pain Clinic, Inc.

 

Effective May 1, 2015, the Company, through its recently formed wholly owned subsidiary, TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc., entered into an Operation and Control Agreement (the Agreement”) with Brevard Orthopaedic Spine & Pain Clinic, Inc. (“The B.A.C.K. Center”), whereby the Company will have sole and exclusive management and control of The B.A.C.K. Center, including, but not limited to, administrative, financial, facility and business operations, including the requirement to absorb losses or right to receive economic benefits. The initial term of the Agreement expires on December 31, 2016 with an option by the Company to extend the term until December 31, 2023.

 

The Agreement allows the Company to hold the current or potential rights that give it the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, combined with a variable interest that gives the Company the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses. The Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Rights held by others to remove the party with power over the VIE are not considered unless one party can exercise those rights unilaterally. When changes occur to the structure of the entity, the Company will reconsider whether it is subject to the VIE model. The Company continuously evaluates whether it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE.

 

 7

 

 

Crane Creek Surgery Center

 

Effective October 1, 2015, the Company, through its recently formed wholly owned subsidiary, CCSC Holdings, Inc., acquired a 40% interest in Crane Creek Surgery Center (“Crane Creek”) in exchange for an investment of $560,000 comprised of $140,000 cash and a promissory note for $420,000 which bears 8% interest per annum, matures April 15, 2016 and is personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In connection with the investment, the Company is entitled 51% voting rights for all decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of Crane Creek. The 40% equity interest acquired entitles the Company to 40% of the profit or loss of Crank Creek. This note was paid in full on April 15, 2016.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries FCID Holdings, Inc., MTMC of Melbourne, Inc., Marina Towers, LLC, FCID Medical Inc., TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc., First Choice – Brevard, Surgical Partners of Melbourne, Inc. and CCSC Holdings, Inc., along with two VIE, The B.A.C.K. Center and Crane Creek. All significant intercompany balances and transactions, including those involving the VIE, have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, and stock-based compensation. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605-10”), which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

 

ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements” (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing ASC 605-25 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations was not significant.

 

The Company recognizes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 954-310, “Health Care Entities” (“ASC 954-310”), significant patient service revenue at the time the services are rendered, even though it does not assess the patient’s ability to pay. Therefore, The Company’s interim and annual periods reports disclose both, its policy for assessing and disclosing the timing and amount of uncollectable patient service revenue recognized as doubtful. Qualitative and quantitative information about significant changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts related to patient accounts receivable are disclosed in the Company’s reports. These estimates are based upon the past history and identified trends for each of our payers.

 

 8

 

 

Patient service revenue

 

The Company recognizes patient service revenue associated with services provided to patients who have third-party payer coverage on the basis of contractual rates for the services provided. For uninsured or self-pay patients that do not qualify for charity care, the Company recognizes revenue on the basis of its standard rates for services provided (or on the basis of discounted rates, if negotiated or provided by policy). On the basis of historical experience, a portion of the Company’s patient service revenue may be potentially uncollectible due to patients who are unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided or the portion of their bill for which they are responsible. Thus, the Company records a provision for bad debts related to potentially uncollectible patient service revenue in the period the services are provided.

 

Rental revenue

 

FCID Holdings had one real estate holding, Marina Towers, a Class A 78,000 square foot, six-story building located on the Indian River in Melbourne, Florida. The address is 709 South Harbor City Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32901. In addition to housing our corporate headquarters and First Choice Medical Group, the building, which averages 95% annual occupancy, also leases commercial office space to tenants. Our corporate headquarters currently utilize 2,521 square feet on the fifth floor of Marina Towers; and First Choice Medical Group, including its MRI center and Physical Therapy center, currently occupies 26,838 square feet on the ground, first and second floors. Until March 2016, Marina Towers was owned by Marina Towers, LLC, a subsidiary owned by FCID Holdings (99%) and MTMC of Melbourne, Inc. (1%), both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

 

On March 31, 2016, we completed the sale of Marina Towers to Global Medical REIT Inc. for a purchase price of $15.45 million. In addition, our wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Towers, LLC, leased back the entire facility via a 10-year absolute triple-net master lease agreement that will expire in 2026 and be renewable for two five-year periods on the same terms and conditions as the primary lease term with the exception of rent, which will be adjusted to the prevailing market rent at renewal and will escalate in successive years during the extended lease period.

 

Until Marina Towers’ sale on March 31, 2016, the Company recognized rental revenue associated with the period of time the facility is leased at the contractual lease rates (or on the basis of discounted rates, if negotiated).

 

In addition, beginning May 1, 2015, TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc., through The B.A.C.K. Center, subleases approximately 34,480 square feet of commercial office space to third party tenants.

 

Cash

 

Cash consists of cash held in bank demand deposits. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $10,051,999 cash, of which $1,624,203 held by VIE. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $1,594,998 cash, of which $1,556,303 held by VIE.

 

Concentrations of credit risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. Occasionally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management.

 

Accounts receivables

 

Accounts receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts net of doubtful accounts. The Company analyzes its past history and identifies trends for each major payer sources of revenue to estimate the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for bad debts. Management regularly reviews data about these major payer sources of revenue in evaluating the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

 9

 

 

  Rental receivables. Accounts receivables from rental activities are periodically evaluated for collectability in determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful account provision for bad debts and provision of bad debts.
     
  Patient receivables. Accounts receivables from services provided to patients who have third-party coverage, the Company analyzes contractually due amounts and provides a provision for bad debts, if necessary. The Company records a provision for bad debts in the period of service on the basis of past experience or when indications are the patients are unable or unwilling to pay the portion of their bill for which they are responsible. The difference between the standard rates (or the discounted rates if negotiated) and the amounts actually collected after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted, is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s provision for bad debts was $2,917,884 and $2,498,398, respectively.

 

Segment information

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic “Segment Reporting” 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segments (see Note 17 – Segment Information).

 

Patents

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The Company’s intangible assets with finite lives are patent costs, which are amortized over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. These patent costs were acquired on September 7, 2013 by the issuance of 636,666 shares of the Company’s common stock to a related party. The shares of common stock were valued at $286,500, which was estimated to be approximately the fair value of the patent acquired and did not materially differ from the fair value of the common stock. The amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $4,775 and $4,775, respectively. Accumulated amortization of patent costs was $42,975 and $38,200 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Patient list

 

Patient list is comprised of acquired patients in connection with the acquisition of First Choice - Brevard and is amortized ratably over the estimated useful life of 15 years. The amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $5,000 and $5,000, respectively. Accumulated amortization of patient list costs was $80,000 and $75,000 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Net income per share

 

The Company computes basic net income per share by dividing net income per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.

 

 10

 

 

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows:

 

   March 31,
2016
  March 31,
2015
Warrants to purchase common stock   4,324,630    4,195,000 
Options to purchase common stock   3,000,000     
Totals   7,324,630    4,195,000 

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded by the Company in the same expense classifications in the consolidated statements of operations, as if such amounts were paid in cash.

 

Deferred costs

 

On May 1, 2015, in connection with the Operation and Control Agreement with Brevard Orthopaedic Spine & Pain Clinic, Inc. (“The B.A.C.K. Center”), the Company reserved 3,000,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at $1.35 per share, expiring on December 31, 2023 and vesting contingent on The B.A.C.K. Center employees executing employment agreements with TBC Holding and the acquisition of the variable interest entity. The determined fair value of $3,226,427, determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Dividend yield: 0%; Volatility: 134.09% and Risk free rate: 2.12%, is amortized ratably to operations over an estimated 8.67-year life. The amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $80,661. Accumulated amortization of the deferred costs was $295,757 at March 31, 2016.

 

Investments

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 323-10, Investments-Equity Methods and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323-10), which requires the accounting for investments where the Company can exert significant influence, but not control of a joint venture or equity investment. The Company owned a 0.6660% interest in a non-consolidated affiliate, Doctor’s Surgical Partnership, LTD. In accordance with the equity method of accounting, investments in non-consolidated affiliates are carried at cost and adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codified 740 (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Fair value

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

 11

 

 

  Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including lines of credit and notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

 

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any items that would be classified as level 1, 2 or 3 disclosures.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

There are other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Subsequent events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed.

 

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY

 

The Company incurred various non-recurring expenses in 2015 in connection with the planned development of its Healthcare Services Business. Management believes the continuing trend of positive growth before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in 2016 will support improved liquidity. In 2015, the Company converted to equity a total of $2,892,314 in outstanding debt, advances and accrued interest. Currently, the Company has four main sources of liquidity, its line of credit with CT Capital, LP; patient service revenue received from FCID Medical, Inc., TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc. and CCSC Holdings, Inc.; and rental revenue received from its real estate interests, FCID Holdings, Inc. and TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc.

 

On June 13, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, First Choice – Brevard entered into a loan and security agreement with CT Capital, Ltd., d/b/a CT Capital, LP, a Florida limited liability partnership for an accounts receivable line of credit in the maximum aggregate amount of $1,500,000. Under the line of credit with CT Capital, the Company reduced the annual interest rate from 12% per annum to 6% per annum in exchange for the issuance to CT Capital of 100,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. On June 9, 2015, First Choice – Brevard entered into a modification agreement amending the loan and security agreement, increasing the maximum aggregate amount available from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 and on December 14, 2015, increasing the maximum aggregate available from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 and extending the maturity date to July 30, 2017 in exchange for 100,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The $500,000 increase may be repaid at any time, and is not subject to the conversion provision set forth in the loan agreement. All other terms and conditions of the loan agreement remain in full force and effect. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had used $2,500,000 of the amount available under the line of credit. (See Note 6 – Lines of Credit)

FCID Holdings had one real estate holding, Marina Towers, a Class A 78,000 square foot, six-story building located on the Indian River in Melbourne, Florida. The address is 709 South Harbor City Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32901. In addition to housing our corporate headquarters and First Choice Medical Group, the building, which averages 95% annual occupancy, also leases commercial office space to tenants. Our corporate headquarters currently utilizes 2,521 square feet on the fifth floor of Marina Towers; and First Choice Medical Group, including its MRI center and Physical Therapy center, currently occupies 26,838 square feet on the ground, first and second floors. Until March 2016, Marina Towers was owned by Marina Towers, LLC, a subsidiary owned by FCID Holdings (99%) and MTMC of Melbourne, Inc. (1%), both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

 

On March 31, 2016, we completed the sale of Marina Towers to Global Medical REIT Inc. for a purchase price of $15.45 million. In addition, our wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Towers, LLC, leased back the entire facility via a 10-year absolute triple-net master lease agreement that will expire in 2026 and be renewable for two five-year periods on the same terms and conditions as the primary lease term with the exception of rent, which will be adjusted to the prevailing market rent at renewal and will escalate in successive years during the extended lease period. Until Marina Towers’ sale on March 31, 2016, the Company recognized rental revenue associated with the period of time the facility is leased at the contractual lease rates (or on the basis of discounted rates, if negotiated).

 

In addition, beginning May 1, 2015, TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc., through The B.A.C.K. Center, subleases 31,835 square feet of commercial office space to third party tenants as of March 31, 2016.

 

The Company believes that the current positive cash balance, along with continued execution of its business development plan and the sale and leaseback of Marina Towers, will allow the Company to further improve its working capital and currently anticipates that it will have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow requirements through the date that is one year and one day from the filing of this report.

 

However, in order to execute the Company’s business development plan, which there can be no assurance it will do, the Company may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means and potentially reduce operating expenditures. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its business development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash.

The Company does not have any residual interest nor the option to repurchase the facility at the end of the lease term.

 

The lease is classified as an operating lease and as such recorded a gain on sale of property of $9,188,968 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender committed to make an accounts receivable line of credit in the maximum aggregate amount of $1,500,000 to First Choice - Brevard with an interest rate of 12% per annum (the “Loan”). The maturity date of the Loan is December 31, 2016. Interest is due and payable monthly. Upon default, the interest may be adjusted to the highest rate permissible by law. The Loan is secured by the accounts receivable and assets of the Company’s subsidiary, First Choice – Brevard, which constitute the collateral for the repayment of the Loan. The Loan Agreement also includes covenants, representations, warranties, indemnities and events of default that are customary for facilities of this type. The advance rate is defined as: 80% of all receivables to be 120 days or less at the net collection rate of approximately 27% of total billings, excluding patient billings and collections. Additionally, allowable accounts receivable will also include 50% of all accounts receivable protected by legal letters of protection. At any time up until December 31, 2016, the Lender may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount or interest on the Loan into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. The Company did not record an embedded beneficial conversion feature in the note since the fair value of the common stock did not exceed the conversion rate at the date of commitment.

 

On November 8, 2013, in consideration for the issuance of 100,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, the Lender agreed to modify its Loan. Under the Loan Agreement, as amended, the annual rate of interest of the Loan was reduced from 12% per annum to 6% per annum and will remain at 6% until November 1, 2015. All other terms under the Loan Agreement remain the same.

NOTE 15 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

 

Brevard Orthopaedic Spine & Pain Clinic, Inc.

 

Effective May 1, 2015, the Company, through its recently formed wholly owned subsidiary, TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc., entered into an Operation and Control Agreement (the Agreement”) with Brevard Orthopaedic Spine & Pain Clinic, Inc. (“The B.A.C.K. Center”), whereby the Company will have sole and exclusive management and control of The B.A.C.K. Center, including, but not limited to, administrative, financial, facility and business operations including the requirement to absorb losses or right to receive economic benefits The initial term of the Agreement expires on December 31, 2016, with an option by the Company to extend the term until December 31, 2023. The Company issued 3,000,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock, vesting contingent on The B.A.C.K. Center employees signing employment contracts with First Choice – Brevard.

 

The Company has determined that The B.A.C.K. Center is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation”. In evaluating whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, the Company considers the purpose for which the VIE was created, the importance of each of the activities in which it is engaged and the Company’s decision-making role, if any, in those activities that significantly determine the entity’s economic performance as compared to other economic interest holders.

 

This evaluation requires consideration of all facts and circumstances relevant to decision-making that affects the entity’s future performance and the exercise of professional judgment in deciding which decision-making rights are most important.

 

In determining whether the Company has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company evaluates all of its economic interests in the entity, regardless of form (debt, equity, management and servicing fees, and other contractual arrangements). This evaluation considers all relevant factors of the entity’s structure, including: the entity’s capital structure, contractual rights to earnings (losses), subordination of our interests relative to those of other investors, contingent payments, as well as other contractual arrangements that have potential to be economically significant. The evaluation of each of these factors in reaching a conclusion about the potential significance of the Company’s economic interests is a matter that requires the exercise of professional judgment. The assets of The B.A.C.K. Center can only be used to settle obligations of the VIE, additionally, creditors of The B.A.C.K. Center do not have recourse against the general credit of the primary beneficiary.

NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation – Health First Management

 

The B.A.C.K. Center has a claim filed in Brevard County, Florida Circuit Court against Health First Management, Inc. due to a contract dispute. A counterclaim was filed against the Company. The case has been litigated for a substantial amount of time and a trial is anticipated to take place within the next 12 months. The Company has vigorously defended against the counterclaim. The Company has accrued a possible loss contingency of approximately $118,000 during the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

Operating leases

 

The B.A.C.K. Center leases office space under various non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through June 2026. Terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments ranging from approximately $4,200 to $200,000 per month. Certain leases include charges for sales and real estate taxes and a proration of common area maintenance expenses. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), all rental payments, including fixed rent increases, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. The GAAP rent expense and the actual lease payments are reflected as deferred rent on the accompanying balance sheet. From the date of the Operation and Control Agreement through December 31, 2015, lease expense amounted to $2,360,986.

 

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments for all non-cancelable operating leases for each of the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter:

 

Nine months ended December 31, 2016    2,620,910 
Year ended December 31, 2017    3,444,197 
Year ended December 31, 2018    3,444,209 
Year ended December 31, 2019    3,444,221 
    $12,953,537 

 

Sale/Leaseback

 

Effective March 31, 2016, the Company leased Marina Towers under a sale/leaseback transaction (See Note 4), via a 10-year absolute triple-net master lease agreement that expires in 2026. The Company has two successive options to renew the lease for five-year periods on the same terms and conditions as the primary non-revocable lease term with the exception of rent, which will be adjusted to the prevailing fair market rent at renewal and will escalate in successive years during the extended lease period. The Company does not have any residual interest nor the option to repurchase the facility at the end of the lease term.

 

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments for the non-cancelable operating lease for each of the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter:

 

Nine months ended December 31, 2016   $828,506 
Year ended December 31, 2017    1,104,675 
Year ended December 31, 2018    1,104,675

NOTE 19 – INCOME TAXES

 

In the first quarter of 2016, effective March 31, 2016, we sold and leased back Marina Towers under a sale/leaseback transaction (See “Gain on Sale of Property and Improvements”). In connection with the sale, the Company reported a gain on sale of the property of $9,188,968 (GAAP Basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2016. There was a Tax Basis gain of approximate $9,051,430. The difference between the GAPP Basis and Tax Basis gain was mainly attributable to depreciation. The gain was offset by Net Operation Losses the Company has generated in prior periods, so no income tax was recorded, but an estimated Alternative Minimum Tax liability of $181,089 was recorded. Offsetting the Alternative Minimum tax recorded is a Deferred Tax Asset of the same amount related to the Alternative Minimum Tax Liability (Alternative Minimum Tax Credit Carryforward). Management believes the Company will utilize the Alternative Minimum Tax Carryforward in future periods, as of the March 31, 2016 reporting period.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2016 is approximately 38.6% See Note 20, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for additional information.

 

 

NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In connection with the MedTRX Collection Services, Inc. settlement, on November 6, 2015, the Company issued two non-interest bearing promissory notes in aggregate of $650,000, due the earlier of a) April 2, 2016, b) the date real estate (as identified) is sold, financed or transferred or c) date the stock payment (as described above) is redeemed. As of March 31, 2016, the balance due on outstanding settlement promissory notes was $450,000.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements reflect the current view about future events. When used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements, include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q relating to our business strategy, our future operating results, and our liquidity and capital resources outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward–looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of assurance of future performance. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the execution of our strategy to grow our business by hiring additional physicians to create Medical Centers of Excellence that fit our defined criteria; evolving healthcare laws and regulations; changes in the rates or methods of third-party reimbursements for medical services; accelerated pace of consolidation in the hospital industry; changes in our medical technology as it relates to our services and procedures; any failures in our information technology systems to protect the privacy and security of protected information and other similar cyber security risks; our ability to raise capital to fund continuing operations; and other factors relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations and any new Medical Centers of Excellence that we may open. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

 

Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Overview

 

First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (“FCHS,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is implementing the second phase of a defined growth strategy aimed at building a network of localized, integrated healthcare delivery platforms comprised of non-physician-owned medical centers of excellence, which concentrate on treating patients in the following specialties: Orthopaedics, Spine Surgery, Neurology, Interventional Pain Management and related diagnostic and ancillary services in key expansion markets throughout the Southeastern U.S.

 

Successful implementation of our first phase allowed us to confirm that by integrating the synergistic mix of Orthopaedic, Spine Surgery, Neurology and Interventional Pain specialties with related diagnostic and ancillary services and state-of-the-art equipment and technologies across legacy brick-and-mortar boundaries, we are able to effectively:

 

  provide patients with direct and convenient access to musculoskeletal and rehabilitative care via our best-in-class team of surgeons, physicians and care specialists, and wide array of ancillary and diagnostic services, which includes, but is not limited to, magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”), X-ray (“X-ray”), durable medical equipment (“DME”) and rehabilitative care, including physical therapy (“PT”) and occupational therapy (“OT”).
     
  empower physicians to collaborate as a unified care team, optimizing care coordination and improving outcomes;
     
  advance the quality and cost effectiveness of our patients’ healthcare, thereby achieving faster recoveries at materially reduced costs; and
     
  achieve strong, sustainable financial performance that serves to create long-term value for our stockholders.

 

 26

 

 

Our goal is to build a network of non-physician-owned and operated Medical Centers of Excellence in diverse locations, primarily throughout the southeastern region of the United States. By centralizing current and future Centers’ business management functions, including call center operations, scheduling, billing, compliance, accounting, marketing, advertising, legal, information technology and record-keeping, at our corporate headquarters, we will maintain efficiencies and scales of economies. We believe our structure will enable our staff physicians to focus on the practice of medicine and the delivery of quality care to the patients we serve, as opposed to having their time and attention focused on business administration responsibilities. We currently have 116 employees, including physicians and physician assistants.

 

Our Healthcare Services Business

 

We currently own and operate First Choice Medical Group of Brevard, LLC (“First Choice – Brevard”), our multi-specialty Medical Center of Excellence. Located in Melbourne, Florida, First Choice – Brevard specializes in the delivery of musculoskeletal medicine, via our strategically aligned sub-specialties in orthopaedics, neurology and interventional pain medicine, coupled with on-site diagnostic and ancillary services, including MRI, X-ray, DME, PT and OT with multiple quality-focused goals centered on enriching our patients’ care experiences.

 

On May 1, 2015, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc., we entered into an Operation and Control Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Brevard Orthopaedic Spine & Pain Clinic, Inc. (“The B.A.C.K. Center”), a premier spine, orthopaedic and pain practice in Brevard County, Florida. The B.A.C.K. Center operates two medical offices located in Melbourne and Merritt Island, Florida. 

 

On October 1, 2015, through our newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, CCSC Holdings, Inc., we acquired a 40% interest in Melbourne, Florida-based Crane Creek Surgery Center (“Crane Creek”). Established in 2009, Crane Creek is an AAAHC accredited facility dedicated to delivering excellent, ambulatory surgical care in a convenient, comfortable outpatient environment. The modern 18,000+ square foot facility is located in Melbourne, Florida within the Crane Creek Medical Center building, which is also home to Osler Medical and The B.A.C.K. Center. Crane Creek’s facility houses four state-of-the-art operating rooms and a procedure room; with capacity and capability to host 4,000-5,000 orthopaedic, spine, interventional pain and general surgical procedures each year. The other owners of Crane Creek are CCSC TBC Group, LLC (“TBC Group”), owned by Richard Hynes, M.D., FASC and Devin Datta, M.D.; and Blue Chip Surgical Center Partners, which develops and manages 17 world class ambulatory surgery centers across the United States. Drs. Hynes and Datta are both affiliated with The B.A.C.K. Center. Together, CCSC Holdings and TBC Group own 75% interest in Crane Creek. In accordance with the Crane Creek Restated and Amended Operating Agreement, CCSC Holdings will exercise sufficient control over the business of Crane Creek that will allow First Choice to treat it as a variable interest entity, effective October 1, 2015. As a result, First Choice will include the financial results of Crane Creek in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as if it were a wholly-owned subsidiary. Dr. Hynes has been appointed as Crane Creek’s Medical Board president and as Medical Director.

 

Our Real Estate Business

 

FCID Holdings, Inc. (“FCID Holdings”) is our wholly owned subsidiary, which operates our real estate interests. FCID Holdings had one real estate holding, Marina Towers, LLC, a 78,000 square foot, Class A, six-story building located on the Indian River in Melbourne, Florida. In addition to housing our corporate headquarters and FCMG, the building, which averages 95% annual occupancy, also leases approximately 48,698 square feet of commercial office space to third party tenants. In addition, beginning May 1, 2015, TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc., through The B.A.C.K. Center, subleases approximately 34,480 square feet of commercial office space to third party tenants.

 

On March 31, 2016, we completed the sale of Marina Towers to Global Medical REIT Inc. for a purchase price of $15.45 million. In addition, our wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Towers, LLC, leased back the entire facility via a 10-year absolute triple-net master lease agreement that will expire in 2026 and be renewable for two five-year periods on the same terms and conditions as the primary lease term with the exception of rent, which will be adjusted to the prevailing market rent at renewal and will escalate in successive years during the extended lease period.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues increased 189% to $7,241,753 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to revenues of $2,505,167 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributed to the addition on May 1, 2015 of Brevard Orthopaedic Spine & Pain Clinic, Inc. (“The B.A.C.K. Center”) and on October 1, 2015 of Crane Creek Surgical Center (“Crane Creek), which contributed revenues of $3,392,997 and $1,271,308, respectively, for the quarter comprised of additional patient services revenue of $4,306,206 and rental revenue of $358,099. Patient services revenue generated by First Choice Medical Group (“FCMG”) increased by $68,871, or 3%, after factoring provision for doubtful accounts. Rental revenue increased by $361,509, totaling $626,612 and $265,103 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily due to the addition of rental revenue from The B.A.C.K. Center.

 

The provision for doubtful accounts during the first quarter of 2016 totaled $626,612. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-07 in 2014, which requires that healthcare entities change the presentation of the statement of operations by reclassifying the provision for doubtful accounts from an operating expense to a deduction from patient service revenues. All periods presented have been reclassified in accordance with ASU 2011-07.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses include the following:

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31, 2016
  Three Months Ended
March 31, 2015
Salaries and Benefits  $2,780,569   $946,120 
Other operating expenses   1,187,274    451,485 
General and administrative   2,405,877    553,284 
Depreciation and amortization   298,950    140,509 
Total operating expenses  $6,672,670   $2,091,398 

 

The major components of operating expenses include practice salaries and benefits, practice supplies and other operating costs, depreciation and general and administrative expenses, which included legal, accounting and professional fees associated with being a public entity.

 

Salaries and benefits increased 194% to $2,780,569 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $946,120 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the addition on May 1, 2015 of The B.A.C.K. Center and October 1, 2015 of Crane Creek, which represented an additional $1,751,248 in the reporting period. The existing segments netted an increase of $83,201 as compared to 2015. Other operating expenses increased 163% to $1,187,274 from $451,485 due to the increase in patient service volume from 2015 to 2016 with the added facilities.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased 335% to $2,405,877, up from $553,284. The increase was largely attributable adding The B.A.C.K. Center and Crane Creek, adding $1,691,067 in costs. We believe that each additional sale or service and corresponding gross profit of such sale or service has minimal incremental offsetting operating expenses. Thus, additional sales could contribute to profit at a higher rate of return on sales as a result of not needing to expand operating expenses at the same pace as sales.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased 112% from $140,509 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $298,950 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is primarily from our two additional operating segments.

Net Income from Operations

 

The income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased 38% to $569,083, which compared to income from operations of $413,769 for the same period in the prior year. Notwithstanding non-cash expenses totaling $658,099 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which included stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, income from operations totaled $1,227,182. This compared to income from operations of $668,438 after factoring $254,669 in non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Gain on Sale of Property and Improvements

 

Effective March 31, 2016, we sold and leased back Marina Towers under a sale/leaseback transaction via a 10-year absolute triple-net master lease agreement that expires in 2026. The Company has two successive options to renew the lease for five-year periods on the same terms and conditions as the primary non-revocable lease term with the exception of rent, which will be adjusted to the prevailing fair market rent at renewal and will escalate in successive years during the extended lease period. In connection with the sale, we reported a gain on sale of property of $9,188,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased 50% to $181,135 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which compared to $363,144 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease primarily is due to payoff conversions of our convertible notes payable with Hillair in 2015 as compared to the same period last year, net with increase from The B.A.C.K. Center in 2015 of $2,459.

 

Net Income

 

As a result of all the above, we reported net income of $9,566,941 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing a significant improvement over net income of $30,689 reported for the same three-month period in the prior year.

 

Segment Results

 

The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.

 

The following are the revenues, operating expenses and net loss by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The significant fluctuations in the line items are described above.

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016:

 

   Marina  FCID  Brevard  The Crane     Intercompany   
   Towers  Medical  Orthopaedic  Center  Corporate  Eliminations  Total
Revenue:                                   
Net Patient Service Revenue  $   $2,308,935   $3,034,898   $1,271,308   $   $   $6,615,141 
Rental revenue   428,246        358,099             (159,733)   626,612

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015:

 

   Marina  FCID     Intercompany   
   Towers  Medical  Corporate  Eliminations  Total
Revenue:                         
Net Patient Service Revenue  $   $2,240,064   $   $   $2,240,064 
Rental revenue   375,321            (110,218)   265,103 
 Total Revenue   375,321    2,240,064        (110,218)   2,505,167 
 Total operating expenses   198,192    1,653,033    350,391    (110,218)   2,091,398 
                          
Net income (loss) from operations:   177,129    587,031    (350,391)       413,769 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had cash of $10,051,999 and accounts receivables totaling $7,448,429. This compared to cash of $1,594,998, restricted cash of $359,414 and accounts receivable of $6,623,894 as of the end of 2015.

 

The Marina Towers building is 95% occupied. We believe that ongoing operations of Marina Towers, LLC, the current positive cash balance, along with continued execution of Marina Tower’s business development plan, will allow us to further improve our working capital; and that we will have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow requirements through the date that is one year plus a day from the filing date of this report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in fully executing our business development plan.

 

Net cash provided by our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $317,224, which compared to net cash used in our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $173,931. The increase in cash provided was due primarily to net income of $9,620,448 for the current period as compared to net income of $30,689 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This was offset by stock-based compensation of $81,300, payment of the non-cash loan extension of $92,000, bad debt expense of $262,524 and depreciation and amortization of 314,275, net with gain on sale of property of $9,188,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $353,669 for the same period last year. In addition, our operating assets increased by $881,955 and $533,044 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively; and our operating liabilities increased in 2016 by $17,600 as compared to decreasing by $25,245 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Net cash flows provided by investing activities was $14,942,424 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $8,284 used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In 2016, we received $15,068,497 net proceeds from the sale of Marina Towers. Purchases of equipment were $126,073 and $8,284 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, due to less cash spent on the purchase of equipment in 2015 compared to the current year.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities was $6,802,647 for three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $15,922 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were the result of:

 

   Three Months ended March 31, 2016  Three Months ended March 31, 2015
Proceeds from advances  $90,714   $74,000 
Proceeds from lines of credit   372,636)   140,000 
Net payments on notes payable   (7,265,997)   (198,078)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities  $(6,802,647)  $15,922 

 

On March 31, 2016, in connection with the sale/leaseback transaction of Marina Towers, we paid off the outstanding mortgage balance due of $7,223,771.

 

Currently, we are actively engaged in identifying and pursuing discussions with prospective acquisitions and/or implementation of operation and management agreements that qualify as variable interest entities in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in key target markets — with those being largely in the southeastern U.S. Over the next 12 months, we expect to incur significant capital costs to further develop and expand our medical operations. We plan to add another medical center of excellence and purchase additional diagnostic equipment for our operations. We expect to need additional capital of approximately $4-6 million to fund the development and expansion of our operations over the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate acceptable terms for, or find suitable candidates for, such acquisition.

 

 30

 

 

There can be no assurance that our cash flow will increase in the near future from anticipated new business activities, or that revenues generated from our existing operations will be sufficient to allow us to continue to pursue new customer programs or profitable ventures.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various updated recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Inflation

 

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.

 

Climate Change

 

We believe that neither climate change, nor government regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

 31

 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The B.A.C.K. Center has a claim filed in Brevard County, Florida Circuit Court against Health First Management, Inc. due to a contract dispute. A counterclaim was filed against the Company. The case has been litigated for a substantial amount of time and a trial is anticipated to take place within the next 12 months. The Company has vigorously defended against the counterclaim. The Company has accrued a possible loss contingency of approximately $118,000 during the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors reported in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
