FOUNDATION HEALTHCARE, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Periods Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
(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 Oklahoma and Texas. The Company also owns noncontrolling interests in ambulatory surgery centers (“ASCs”) located in Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and Maryland. 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 – 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, 2015.
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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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, 2015. The December 31, 2015 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.
Reclassifications – Certain amounts presented in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income.
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
5
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 $2,112,000 and $500,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively, and are included in prepaid and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We increased our cost report estimate by $1,612,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 based on settlements from our final filed cost report for 2014 and an estimate of the 2015 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.
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.

The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the three months ending March 31, 2016 follows:
| 2016 | |
Balance at beginning of period | $ | 6,062,000 | |
Provisions recognized as reduction in revenues | | 1,921,985 | |
Write-offs, net of recoveries | | (4,320,985 | ) |
Balance at end of period | $ | 3,663,000 | |
| | | |
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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had restricted cash of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million respectively, included in cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash is 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 2016.
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 two to twenty 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
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. The Company adopted these changes on January 1, 2016. The adoption of these changes had no 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. The Company adopted these changes on January 1, 2016. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued changes to the presentation of debt issuance costs. Currently, such costs are required to be presented as a noncurrent asset in an entity’s balance sheet and amortized into interest expense over the term of the related debt
7
instrument. The changes require that debt issuance costs be presented in an entity’s balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability. The amortization of debt issuance costs remains unchanged. The Company adopted these changes on January 1, 2016. The adoption of these changes resulted in a decrease of approximately $612,000, to other assets and long-term debt, net of current portion, respectively, debt included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
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 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. The Company adopted these changes on January 1, 2016. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 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.
In September 2015, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for business combinations simplifying the accounting for measurement period Adjustments. The update eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust its financial statements for changes to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement-period following the consummation of a business combination. Instead, the update requires these types of adjustments to be made during the reporting period in which they are identified and would require additional disclosure or separate presentation of the portion of the adjustment that would have been recorded in the previously reported periods as if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company adopted these changes on January 1, 2016. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Issued Guidance
In July 2015, the FASB issued changes to the subsequent measurement of inventory. Currently, an entity is required to measure its inventory at the lower of cost or market, whereby market can be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The changes require that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby eliminating the use of the other two market methodologies. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. These changes do not apply to inventories measured using LIFO (last-in, first-out) or the retail inventory method. Currently, the Company applies the net realizable value market option to measure its inventories at the lower of cost or market. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Management has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact 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, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
8
In February 2016, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for leases, which requires an entity that leases assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued changes to employee share-based payment accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.
Note 3 – Acquisition
On December 31, 2015, the Company closed the acquisition comprising substantially all of the hospital assets and hospital operating entity of University General Health Systems, Inc. (“UGHS”), consisting primarily of a sixty-nine bed acute care hospital located in the Medical City area of Houston, Texas (referred to as University General Hospital, LP or “UGH” and collectively referred to as the “Acquisition”). Subsequent to the Acquisition, UGH is being operated as Foundation Surgical Hospital of Houston.
The acquisition of UGH was based on management’s belief that UGH fits into the Company’s acquisition and development strategy and operating model that enables the Company to grow by taking advantage of highly-fragmented markets, an increasing demand for short stay surgery and a need by physicians to forge strategic alliances to meet the needs of the evolving healthcare landscape while also shaping the clinical environments in which they practice. The Company expects the acquisition of UGH will generate positive earnings and cash flow that will be accretive to the earnings and cash flow of the Company. The Company expects the goodwill attributable to UGH to be tax deductible.
The Company paid $25.1 million in cash for the net assets acquired from UGHS.
The fair value amounts have been initially recorded using preliminary estimates. The Company has engaged a third-party valuation company to complete a valuation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. A portion of the valuation was completed in March 2016 and management believes the valuation will be fully completed by June 30, 2016. The preliminary estimates will be revised in future periods and the revisions may materially affect the presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial results. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill. The preliminary purchase allocations for the Acquisition are as follows:
| Preliminary | | | Adjustments | | | Adjusted | |
Accounts receivable | $ | 7,229,000 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 7,229,000 | |

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $167,000 in expenses related to the Acquisition. The expenses incurred related primarily to legal fees related to the purchase agreement and structure of the transaction and professional fees related to the audits of the 2015 and 2014 financial statements of UGH.
Since the Acquisition occurred on December 31, 2015, there are no acquisition revenues and earnings included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. The revenue and earnings of the combined entity had the Acquisition date been January 1, 2015 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Attributable to Foundation HealthCare common stock | |
| Revenue | | | Loss From Continuing Operations | | | Net Income (Loss) | | | Net Loss | | | Net Loss Per Share | |

The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of that time, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.
Note 4 – Divestitures
On July 15, 2015, we sold our 10% interest in the Kirby Glen Surgery, LLC, one of our Equity Owned ASCs located in Houston, Texas. We received $0.2 million in combined proceeds for the sale of the equity interest and termination of our management agreement.
On June 12, 2015, the Company executed an agreement pursuant to which the Company sold a portion of its 20% equity investment in Grayson County Physician Property, LLC (“GCPP”) through a series of transactions. In conjunction with the sale, the management agreement under which the Company provided certain services including billing and collections, general management services, legal support, and accounting services was terminated. The Company’s decision to sell the assets of GCPP was part of the Company’s strategic plan to focus on the growth of its majority owned surgical hospital businesses. The Company received $7.8 million of proceeds as a result of the sale and $0.5 million for the termination of the management agreement. The Company used $7.0 million of these proceeds to reduce the Company’s principal balance of the note held by the Company’s senior lender. The remainder of the proceeds will be used for working capital needs and possible future acquisitions. See Note 5 – Discontinued Operations for additional information.
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 the Company does not exhibit control with the 20% investment in HOSH, the Company accounts for the investment on a cost or cash basis. As a result of the HOSH sale, the Company received a distribution on May 12, 2015 $1.8 million, of which $0.6 million is being held in escrow until October 2016.
Note 5 – Discontinued Operations
The partial sale of GCPP in June 2015 was part of the Company’s strategic plan to focus on majority owned investments. As a result, the proceeds from the sale, the remaining equity ownership, and the results of operations and cash flows related to the equity investment in GCPP for all periods presented have been classified as discontinued operations. Therefore, the Company reclassified $0.1 million from equity in earnings from affiliates to income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ending March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 7 – Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill as follows:
| | | | | | Accumulated | | | Net | |
| | Gross | | | Impairment | | | Carrying | |
| | Amount | | | Loss | | | Value | |
December 31, 2015 | | $ | 32,469,240 | | | $ | (22,045,382 | ) | | $ | 10,423,858 | |
Changes in UGH purchase price allocation | | | (2,822,049 | ) | | | — | | | | (2,822,049 | ) |
March 31, 2016 | | $ | 29,647,191 | | | $ | (22,045,382 | ) | | $ | 7,601,809 | |
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.

Texas Capital Bank Credit Facility
Effective December 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “TCB Credit Facility”) with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“TCB”). The TCB Credit Facility replaced and consolidates all of the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ debt in the principal amount of $28.4 million, which is referred to as the Term Loan, and provides for an additional revolving loan in the amount of $12.5 million, which is referred to as the Revolving Loan. The Company has also entered into a number of ancillary agreements in connection with the TCB Credit Facility, including deposit account control agreements, subsidiary guarantees, security agreements and promissory notes.
Maturity Dates. The Term Loan matures on December 30, 2020 and the Revolving Loan matures on December 30, 2018.
Interest Rates. Borrowings under the TCB Credit Facility are made, at the Company’s option, as either Base Rate loans or LIBOR loans. “Base Rate” for any day is the highest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus one half of one percent (0.5%), and (iii) Adjusted LIBOR plus one percent (1.00%). LIBOR loans are based on either the one month, two month or three month LIBOR rate at the Company’s option. The interest rate is either a Base Rate or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margins based on our Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio, as defined.
The Applicable Margins are as follows:
Pricing Level | Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio | Base Rate Portion | | LIBOR Portion and Letter of Credit Fee | | Commitment Fee | |
1 | < 2.0 : 1.0 | | 2.75% | | | 3.75% | | | 0.375% | |
2 | ≥ 2.0 : 1.0 but < 2.5 : 1.0 | | 3.00% | | | 4.00% | | | 0.375% | |
3 | ≤ 2.5 : 1.0 | | 3.25% | | | 4.25% | | | 0.375% | |
The Applicable Margin in effect will be adjusted within 45 days following the end of each quarter based on the Company’s Senior Debt to EBITDA ratio. The Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio is calculated by dividing all of our senior indebtedness (excluding capital lease obligations for Foundation Surgical Hospital of Houston), that is by the Company’s EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. EBITDA is defined in the TCB Credit Facility as the Company’s net income plus (b) the sum of the following: interest expense; income taxes; depreciation; amortization; extraordinary losses determined in accordance with GAAP; cash and noncash stock compensation expense; and other non‑recurring expenses reducing such net income which do not represent a cash item in such period or any future period, minus (c) the sum of the following: income tax credits; extraordinary gains determined in accordance with GAAP; and all non‑recurring, non‑cash items increasing net income.
Interest and Principal Payments. The Company is required to make quarterly payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan. The first four quarterly payments on the Term Loan will be $1,013,393, on the first day of each April, July, October, and January during the term hereof, commencing April 1, 2016. The Company is 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 each Loan.
Borrowing Base. The Company’s ability to borrow money under the Revolving Loan is limited to the Company’s Borrowing Base. The Company’s Borrowing Base is equal to the sum of (i) 80% of the eligible account of Foundation Surgical Hospital of San
14
Antonio, not to exceed the outstanding principal balance of the intercompany note payable by the San Antonio Hospital to the Company, (ii) 80% of the eligible account of Foundation Surgical Hospital of El Paso, not to exceed the outstanding principal balance of the intercompany note payable by the El Paso Hospital to the Company, and (iii) 80% of the eligible account of Foundation Surgical Hospital of Houston, not to exceed the outstanding principal balance of the intercompany note payable by the Houston Hospital to the Company.
Mandatory Prepayments. The Company must make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in the following situations, among others:
| · | The Company must apply 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of worn out and obsolete equipment not necessary or useful for the conduct of the Company’s business; |
| · | Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the Company must apply 50% of our Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year to the installment payments due on the Company’s Term Loan; |
| · | The Company must apply 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity interests to the installment payments due on the Company’s Term Loan; provided that no prepayment need to be made for the year ended December 31, 2016 once the Company has made mandatory prepayments in excess of $10,000,000; |
| · | The Company must apply 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of debt (other than certain permitted debt) to the prepayment of the Term Loan; |
| · | The Company must prepay 100% of the net cash proceeds paid to the Company other than in the ordinary course of business; and |
| · | The Company must prepay 100% of the net cash proceeds the Company receives from the prepayment of intercompany notes. |
Voluntary Prepayments. The Company may prepay amounts under the Term Loan or Revolving Loan at any time provided that the Company is required to pay a prepayment fee 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 third anniversary.
Guaranties. Each of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries jointly and severally and unconditionally guaranty payment of the Company’s obligations owed to Lenders.

Note 9 – 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 1,000 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 87,000 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 $20.00 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 10 – 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, 2016 and 2015 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $567,197 and $424,593, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Note 11 – 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
17
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, 2016, 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 2015, the Company completed the University General Hospital, LP acquisition; see Note 3 – Acquisition for additional information. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their fair values on the date of the acquisition. For the acquisition, the nonrecurring fair value measurements were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) using discounted cash flow calculations based upon the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and third-party valuation services. Assumptions used were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing valuations of these business units and were based on analysis of current and expected future economic conditions and the updated strategic plan for each business unit. The assets acquired were valued at $59,808,000 and the liabilities assumed were $34,708,000.
Note 12 – 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 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, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $23,600 in lease expense under the terms of the lease.
As of March 31, 2016, 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 noncontrolling 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 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 13 – 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, except for the following:
On May 11, 2016, the Company acquired 51% of the outstanding membership interests of Ninety Nine Healthcare Management, LLC (“99 Management”). 99 Management is a healthcare management located in Dallas, Texas. Management believes the purchase of 99 Management will allow the Company to provide practice management services for the Company’s physician partners. The Company paid $440,000 in cash and issued 700,000 shares of Company common stock for the purchase of the membership interests in
18
99 Management. The Company will issue an additional 200,000 shares of Company common stock upon the execution by 99 Management of a signed contract between 99 Management and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas for a narrow network program covering the Houston, Texas market.
On May 11, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan Modification Agreement and Waiver with TCB (“TCB Modification”). Under the TCB Modification, the Company’s Revolving Loan under the TCB Credit Facility was increased from $12.5 million to $15.5 million. The $3.0 million of borrowing represents a temporary advance that must be repaid by July 31, 2016. In addition, TCB consented to the sale of certain Company assets and waived certain technical defaults in the TCB Credit Facility related to timing deadlines for certain financial information provided by the Company to TCB related to the UGH Acquisition.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Company Overview
Our primary business is the ownership of surgical hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) in targeted regional markets in the Southeastern United States. We currently have three majority-owned hospitals (Consolidated Hospitals) and one minority-owned hospitals (Equity Owned Hospital) in Texas and Oklahoma. We have seven minority-owned ASCs located in Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio. Also, we have one hospital outpatient department (HOPD) through our investment in the surgery hospital in Edmond, Oklahoma. In addition to our ownership interests, we provide management services under contract to most of our minority-owned facilities. Finally, we have a legacy business that provides sleep testing management services.
Our strategy is to create a regional network of high-quality, yet cost effective, surgical facilities that meet the needs of patients, physicians and payors. We believe our facilities provide a friendly and convenient environment for our patients to receive high quality care. We operate our facilities, structure our strategic relationships and adopt staffing, scheduling and clinical systems and protocols with the goal of increasing physician productivity and satisfaction. In light of the efficiency of our facilities, we believe we are competitively positioned among payors to generate good clinical outcomes while containing costs. Our commitment to the needs of all relevant parties coupled with the strong growth dynamics of our markets lead us to believe that the number of procedures performed at our facilities each year will increase.
Hospital and ASC Business Overview
At our Consolidated Hospitals, we serve as a majority owner, day-to-day manager, and we have significant influence over the operations of such facilities. When we have control of the facility, we account for our investment in the facility as a consolidated subsidiary. For our Equity Owned facilities, our influence does not represent control of the facility, but we do have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, we account for our investment in the facility under the equity method, and treat the facility as a nonconsolidated affiliate.
For our Consolidated Hospitals, our financial statements reflect 100% of the revenues and expenses for these subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts. The net income attributable to our physician partners who have ownership in our Consolidated Hospitals is included in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of operations.
For our Equity Owned facilities, our share of the net income of each Equity Owned facility is based on the facility’s net income and our percentage of ownership in the facility and is included in our consolidated statements as equity in earnings of affiliates. We earn management fees from most of our Equity Owned facilities for our management of the day-to-day operations. We also provide management services to one ASC that we don’t own any equity interest.
The following summarizes certain key metrics for our surgical hospital and ASC business:

(a) | The 42 physician partners in our hospital in Edmond also participate in this HOPD through the hospital’s 100% ownership of this HOPD. |
(b) | This HOPD is 100% owned by our hospital in Edmond, Oklahoma. |
(c) | This hospital is expected to be syndicated with physician partners. |
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 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
21
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.
Changes in Consolidated Hospitals and Equity Owned Investments
On May 11, 2016, we acquired 51% of the outstanding membership interests of Ninety Nine Healthcare Management, LLC (“99 Management”). 99 Management is a healthcare management located in Dallas, Texas. We believe the purchase of 99 Management will allow us to provide practice management services for our physician partners. We paid $440,000 in cash and issued 700,000 shares of our common stock for the purchase of the membership interests in 99 Management. We will issue an additional 200,000 shares of our common stock upon the execution by 99 Management of a signed contract between 99 Management and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas for a narrow network program covering the Houston, Texas market
On December 31, 2015, we purchased substantially all of the hospital assets and hospital operating entity of University General Health Systems, Inc., consisting primarily of a sixty-nine bed acute care hospital located in the Medical City area of Houston, Texas (“UGH”). The purchase price of the UGH was $25.1 million, net of liabilities assumed. The UGH hospital is now operated as Foundation Surgical Hospital of Houston and referred to as “FSH Houston.”
On July 15, 2015, we sold our 10% interest in the Kirby Glen Surgery, LLC, one of our Equity Owned ASCs located in Houston, Texas. We received $0.2 million in combined proceeds for the sale of the equity interest and termination of our management agreement.
On June 12, 2015, we sold a portion of our 20% equity investment in Grayson County Physician Property, LLC (“GCPP”), our Equity Owned hospital in Sherman, Texas, through a series of transactions. In conjunction with the sale, the management agreement under which we provided certain services including billing and collections, general management services, legal support, and accounting services was terminated. Our decision to sell the assets of GCPP was part of our overall strategic plan to focus on the growth of our majority owned surgical hospital businesses and divest any minority interest holdings. We received $7.8 million in proceeds as a result of the sale and $0.5 million in additional proceeds for the termination our management agreement. We used $7.0 million of these proceeds to reduce our principal balance of the note held by Bank SNB (our senior lender).
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. As a result of the HOSH sale, we received a distribution on May 12, 2015 for $1.8 million, of which $0.6 million is being held in escrow until October 2016.
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.

Discussion of Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
Patient services revenue increased $10.5 million, or 37.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to:
| ● | The addition of the FSH Houston, which resulted in an increase of $12.0 million; and |
| ● | An increase of drug testing laboratory service volume, at East El Paso Physician Medical Center, LLC (“FSH El Paso”) resulting in $1.3 million. |
The offsetting decrease in patient services revenue is due to:
| ● | A decrease in average reimbursement per surgical case at FSH El Paso driven by a reduced case mix of lower revenue surgical cases, primarily spine procedures, which resulted in a decrease of $2.7 million; and |
| ● | A decrease in surgical case volume at Foundation Bariatric Hospital of San Antonio, LLC (“FSH San Antonio”) resulting in a decrease of $0.1 million. |
Provision for doubtful accounts increased $1.5 million, or 375.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015. Provision for doubtful accounts as a percent of patient services revenue was 5.0% and 1.5% for the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase is related to the drug testing laboratory service at FSH El Paso, which has a patient self-pay bad debt experience that is higher than the historical losses on our traditional surgical services, resulting in an increase of $0.6 million. The addition of the FSH Houston also resulted in an increase of $0.4 million. FSH San Antonio and FSH El Paso also experienced higher allowance rates during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015 due to decreases in our overall collections resulting in an increase of $0.5 million.
Management fees from affiliates decreased $0.3 million, or 25.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015. The decrease is due to lower collections at FSH San Antonio and FSH El Paso resulting in $0.3 million.
23
Other revenue increased $0.4 million, or 50.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015. The increase is due to the attestation and qualification of meaningful use payments under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) at FSH El Paso of $0.4 million.
Income from equity investments in affiliates in the first quarter of 2016 approximated the first quarter of 2015.
Salaries and benefits increased $6.0 million, or 77.9%, to $13.7 million from $7.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the first quarter of 2015. The increase is due to the addition of the FSH Houston resulting in $5.9 million and increased corporate staffing of $0.1 million.
Supplies expense increased $1.5 million, or 24.6%, to $7.6 million from $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the first quarter of 2015. The increase is due to the addition of the FSH Houston resulting in $1.6 million which was offset by a decrease in volumes at FSH San Antonio of $0.1 million.
Other operating expenses increased $2.7 million, or 19.1%, to $16.8 million from $14.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the first quarter of 2015. The increase is due to the addition of the FSH Houston resulting in $3.5 million which was offset by a $0.8 million decrease in outsource fees related to the drug testing laboratory services at FSH El Paso.
Depreciation and amortization represents the depreciation expense associated with our fixed assets and the amortization attributable to our intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million, or 92.9%, to $2.7 million from $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the first quarter of 2015. The increase is due to the addition of the FSH Houston resulting in $1.3 million.
Net other expense represents primarily interest expense on borrowings reduced by interest income earned on cash and the gain or loss on the sale of equity investments in affiliates. Net other expense increased $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The increase is due to the addition of the FSH Houston resulting in $0.7 million.
Discontinued operations represent the equity in earnings of GCPP and the operations of our independent diagnostic testing facilities (“IDTF”) which were classified as held for sale in 2013. Our equity investment in GCPP and the related earnings were classified as discontinued in 2015 as the sale of our GCPP interest was part of our strategic shift to focus on majority owned investments. The results from our discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are summarized below:
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Revenues: | | | | | | | | |
Equity in earnings of GCCP | | $ | — | | | $ | (27,510 | ) |
Sleep operations | | | — | | | | — | |
Total revenues | | $ | — | | | $ | (27,510 | ) |

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax | | $ | (11,761 | ) | | $ | (113,588 | ) |
Noncontrolling interests were allocated $0.7 million and $1.4 million of net income during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Noncontrolling interests are the equity ownership interests, held by outside investors, in our majority owned hospital subsidiaries, FSH El Paso and FSH San Antonio.
Net income (loss) attributable to Foundation Healthcare. Our operations resulted in a net loss of $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2015.
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, 2016, our liquidity and capital resources included cash of $2.9 million and working capital of $7.0 million. We have working capital of $6.1 million after adjusting for $0.9 million of redemption payments due to preferred noncontrolling interest holders in August 2016. As of December 31, 2015, our liquidity and capital resources included cash of $5.1 million and a working capital of $8.1 million (adjusted for $0.9 million of redemption payments due to preferred interest holders during 2016).

Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the first three months of 2015 when cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $0.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, 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 $1.2 million and other assets of $0.1 million and increases in accrued liabilities and other current and noncurrent liabilities of $6.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the primary uses of cash from continuing operations, were increases in accounts receivable, receivables from affiliates, prepaids and other current assets of $9.1 million and a decrease in other current liabilities of $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the primary sources of cash from continuing operations were cash generated by income from continuing operation (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 of $0.2 million. 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.
Cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the first three months of 2015 when cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations was $0.1 million.
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.0 million compared to the first three months of 2015 when net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was $0.6 million. Investing activities during the first three months of 2016 were primarily related to distributions received from equity investments of $0.3 million which were offset by purchases of property and equipment, net of disposals, of $1.3 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.
There was no investing activities from discontinued operations during the first three months of 2016 or 2015.
Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.1 million compared to the first three months of 2015 when net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $0.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we received debt proceeds of $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and we made debt payments of $1.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we made distributions to noncontrolling interests of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we paid preferred noncontrolling dividends of $0.2 million, respectively.
There was no financing activities from discontinued operations during the first three months of 2016 or 2015.
We expect the total level of spending for capital expenditures to be greater in 2016 as compared to 2015 as a result of our various capital commitments in connection with the acquisition of UGH and our other Consolidated Hospitals.
Our business strategy contemplates the selective acquisition of additional hospitals, and we regularly review potential acquisitions. It could be necessary for us to seek additional financing to fund larger hospital acquisitions. We regularly evaluate opportunities to sell additional equity, obtain credit agreements from lenders or restructure our long-term debt or equity for strategic reasons or to further strengthen our financial position. The sale of additional equity could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
We believe that cash generated from our operations and borrowings available under the TCB Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures and other expected operating needs over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future prior to the maturity dates of our outstanding debt. We also have planned additional sales of non-strategic assets to generate additional cash.
Texas Capital Bank Credit Facility
Effective December 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “TCB Credit Facility”) with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“TCB”). The TCB Credit Facility replaced and consolidates all of the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ debt in the principal amount of $28.4 million, which is referred to as the Term Loan, and provides for an additional revolving loan in the amount of $12.5 million, which is referred to as the Revolving Loan. The Company has also entered into a number of ancillary agreements in connection with the TCB Credit Facility, including deposit account control agreements, subsidiary guarantees, security agreements and promissory notes.
Maturity Dates. The Term Loan matures on December 30, 2020 and the Revolving Loan matures on December 30, 2018.
25
Interest Rates. Borrowings under the TCB Credit Facility are made, at the Company’s option, as either Base Rate loans or LIBOR loans. “Base Rate” for any day is the highest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus one half of one percent (0.5%), and (iii) Adjusted LIBOR plus one percent (1.00%). LIBOR loans are based on either the one month, two month or three month LIBOR rate at the Company’s option. The interest rate is either a Base Rate or LIBOR plus the Applicable Margins based on our Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio, as defined.
The Applicable Margins are as follows:
Pricing Level | Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio | Base Rate Portion | | LIBOR Portion and Letter of Credit Fee | | Commitment Fee | |
1 | < 2.0 : 1.0 | | 2.75% | | | 3.75% | | | 0.375% | |
2 | ≥ 2.0 : 1.0 but < 2.5 : 1.0 | | 3.00% | | | 4.00% | | | 0.375% | |
3 | ≤ 2.5 : 1.0 | | 3.25% | | | 4.25% | | | 0.375% | |
The Applicable Margin in effect will be adjusted within 45 days following the end of each quarter based on the Company’s Senior Debt to EBITDA ratio. The Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio is calculated by dividing all of our senior indebtedness (excluding capital lease obligations for Foundation Surgical Hospital of Houston), that is by the Company’s EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. EBITDA is defined in the TCB Credit Facility as the Company’s net income plus (b) the sum of the following: interest expense; income taxes; depreciation; amortization; extraordinary losses determined in accordance with GAAP; cash and noncash stock compensation expense; and other non‑recurring expenses reducing such net income which do not represent a cash item in such period or any future period, minus (c) the sum of the following: income tax credits; extraordinary gains determined in accordance with GAAP; and all non‑recurring, non‑cash items increasing net income.
Interest and Principal Payments. The Company is required to make quarterly payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan. The first four quarterly payments on the Term Loan will be $1,013,393, on the first day of each April, July, October, and January during the term hereof, commencing April 1, 2016. The Company is 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 each Loan.
Borrowing Base. The Company’s ability to borrow money under the Revolving Loan is limited to the Company’s Borrowing Base. The Company’s Borrowing Base is equal to the sum of (i) 80% of the eligible account of Foundation Surgical Hospital of San Antonio, not to exceed the outstanding principal balance of the intercompany note payable by the San Antonio Hospital to the Company, (ii) 80% of the eligible account of Foundation Surgical Hospital of El Paso, not to exceed the outstanding principal balance of the intercompany note payable by the El Paso Hospital to the Company, and (iii) 80% of the eligible account of Foundation Surgical Hospital of Houston, not to exceed the outstanding principal balance of the intercompany note payable by the FSH Houston to the Company.
Mandatory Prepayments. The Company must make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in the following situations, among others:
| · | The Company must apply 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of worn out and obsolete equipment not necessary or useful for the conduct of the Company’s business; |

| · | The Company must apply 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity interests to the installment payments due on the Company’s Term Loan; provided that no prepayment need to be made for the year ended December 31, 2016 once the Company has made mandatory prepayments in excess of $10,000,000; |
| · | The Company must apply 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of debt (other than certain permitted debt) to the prepayment of the Term Loan; |

| · | The Company must prepay 100% of the net cash proceeds the Company receives from the prepayment of intercompany notes. |

26
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 third anniversary.

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 including recently adopted and recently issued accounting guidance, please see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 Item 1 of the Form 10-Q and our Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included our 2015 annual report on Form 10-K.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
Aetna Life Insurance Company v. Huntingdon Valley Surgery Center, Foundation Surgery Affiliates, LLC and Foundation Management Affiliates, LLC, Case No. 13-3101, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On December 2, 2013, Aetna Life Insurance Company (“Aetna”) filed a complaint against Huntingdon Valley Surgery Center (“HVSC”) and the Foundation defendants alleging that the Foundation defendants impose on the ASCs that they manage an unlawful “out of network business model” by means of which the defendants offer illegal inducements to physicians and patients to drive patient referrals to HVSC, which does not have a contract with Aetna and could therefore charge higher rates for its services. Aetna is asserting violations of Pennsylvania’s anti-kickback statute by all defendants, conspiracy to violate Pennsylvania’s anti-kickback statute by all defendants, insurance fraud, aiding and abetting insurance fraud, tortious interference with the contracts between Aetna and its in-network physicians. Aetna has reached a settlement with HVSC. On the Aetna claims against the Foundation defendants, the Court has granted the Foundation defendants a partial summary judgment on all such claims except tortious interference. In April 2016, Aetna appealed the decision.
United States of America ex rei. Mary Dupont, M.D., Relator, v. Metropolitan Medical Partners LLC. d/b/a Surgery Center of Chevy Chase; Surgical Synergies, Inc.; Foundation Surgery Affiliates, LLC; and Foundation Healtlzcare, Inc., Case No. No. 13-cv-03590-PJM, U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division. In November, 2013, the relator, Mary Dupont, M.D. (“Dupont”), filed under seal a False Claims Act (“FCA”) or “qui tam” complaint initiating this action. On October 30, 2014, the federal government filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention and on November 12, 2014, the Court entered an Order unsealing the Dupont complaint. Dupont filed her First Amended Complaint on June 19, 2015. Dupont, a urologist and physician-investor in an ambulatory surgery center in Chevy Chase, Maryland (the “Center”), alleged that the Center, in concert with defendant Surgical Synergies, Inc. (“SSI”) and the Foundation defendants, effectively shut her out of her practice at the Center by imposing a 75 procedure-per-year quota on procedures performed at the Center, and, barring her from performing an allegedly unprofitable procedure involving the surgical implantation of a mesh sling. The First Amended Complaint alleged claims including Medicare fraud, Presentation of False Claims, and violations of the Maryland False Health Claims Act. ln August 2015, all defendants, including the Foundation defendants, moved to dismiss the First Amended Complaint and argued that the First Amended Complaint failed to state a claim for relief as against them under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and 9(b) because Dupont failed to plead the requisite details of any specific false claim with particularity, failed to adequately plead any conspiracy to violate the FCA, and failed to sufficiently plead any violation of the federal anti-kickback statute, which constituted the alleged substantive basis of her FCA claims. The Foundation defendants also argued that the FCA claims against them should be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In September 2015, Dupont filed a Second Amended Complaint by consent, making limited factual modifications to her pleading and reasserting the claims made in the First Amended Complaint. In October 2015, all defendants, including the Foundation defendants, filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on essentially the same grounds as were asserted against the First Amended Complaint. On February 3, 2016, the Court granted Defendants' motions to dismiss in part, dismissing with prejudice Dupont’s claim under the Maryland False Health Claims Act and dismissing without prejudice Dupont’s “Economic Loss” claim. The Court's February 3, 2016 Order did not reach the merits of Defendants’ motions to dismiss the remaining counts, but instead granted Dupont leave to file a Third Amended Complaint which was done in March 2016. In April 2016, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss. A hearing on the motion to dismiss has been set for July 25, 2016. We intend to continue to defend the action vigorously.
