Notes to Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to form
10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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. The results of
operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
form 10-KSB filed for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Basic (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company's revenues were $1,139,687
slightly less than the net revenues of the 1998 first quarter's level at
$ 1,195,192. . The revenue levels continued unabated for the first quarter
1999 in spite of significant decreases in reimbursement rates from the
Company's subsidiary Medicare providers. The revenues have been sustained
through the Company's continued expansion this quarter with the startup of
a new clinic in Tylertown, Mississippi on January 19 1999. Also, on March 17
1999, the Company purchased the assets of a clinic in Greenville, Mississippi.
These acquisitions come as part of the Company's continued expansion into
underserved medical markets, and are configured for continued service to
Medicare patients as well as expanded services for private insurance, HMO's,
and state workman's compensation programs.
The Company's revenues are expected to increase due to increased acquistions,
expanded services for Medicare patients and diversification of the patient
mix throughout the rest of fiscal 1999. The Company has sufficient resources
to continue its operation and has utilized conventional, local financing to
make additional acquistions.
The Company experienced a loss of 307,082 for the first quarter due
principally to retainage of professional line and staff personnel during the
Company's re-orientation to sources of revenue outside the capped fee
schedules of the Medicare cost reimbursement system. In addition, the Company
has absorbed the costs associated with startup operations for its new
acquistions, and will experience a negative position until the new facilities
can be brought to its projected revenue levels to sustain its respective
operating expense and capital outlays.
The Company is phasing out its car wash subsidiary and is in the process of
disposing of its holdings in the car wash industry.
