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