RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
ANTICIPATED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES CONTRACTS
STAT Healthcare, Inc. ("STAT") anticipates that in December 1996 one of its
affiliated physician groups will enter into contracts ("Contracts") to provide
emergency medical services at up to seven hospitals in the Southeastern United
States. As currently proposed, the Contracts will have a one-year initial term
commencing on January 1, 1997 with provisions for automatic renewal unless
terminated by either party, and may be terminated by the hospitals in certain
circumstances, including unsatisfactory service by STAT or its affiliated
physician group. STAT estimates that revenues from the Contracts in the year
ending December 31, 1997 will aggregate approximately $10 million. No assurance
can be given that the Contracts will be obtained, or that if obtained the
Contracts will generate estimated revenues or profit margins consistent with
STAT's existing business.
If the Contracts are obtained, an unaffiliated corporation ("Contractor")
will provide certain management services to STAT related to the Contracts and
for which Contractor will receive from STAT a one-time start-up fee of $1.5
million. STAT would also have the right to purchase Contractor, and may be
required to purchase Contractor, in either case for a purchase price of $1.25
million on the first anniversary of the Contracts if such contracts are extended
for a second year. STAT would further be required to pay to the shareholders of
Contractor an additional $1.25 million on the second anniversary of the
Contracts if such contracts are extended for a third year.
OTHER POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS
STAT and its affiliated physician groups are involved in various stages of
negotiations to acquire additional emergency medical services contracts and
existing dialysis treatment centers. However, no assurance can be given that any
potential acquisition will be consummated.
