As of March 31, 2015, First Choice had cash and restricted cash totaling $497,531; accounts receivable of $2,252,053 and total stockholders' deficit of $2,652,494. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company's lender, Hillar Capital Investments, L.P. converted $680,000 of the $2,320,000 8% original issue discount convertible debenture. As a consequence, the outstanding principal amount and interest of the debenture, as of May 1, 2015, has been reduced to $1.53 million.
Earlier last week, the Company announced that through its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, TBC Holdings of Melbourne, Inc., it had expanded its portfolio of Medical Centers of Excellence located in Florida's Space Coast region with the addition of Brevard Orthopaedic Spine & Pain Center, Inc., dba The B.A.C.K. Center, to its medical business-building platform. TBC Holdings will exercise effective control over the business of the practice, and treat it as a variable interest entity, effective as of May 1, 2015. As a result, beginning with the release of First Choice's second quarter 2015 results, the Company will include the financial results of The B.A.C.K. Center in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting prinicples as if it was a wholly owned subsidiary.
Christian Romandetti, Chairman, President and CEO of First Choice, stated, "We are very pleased with our Company's strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2015, during which time our Medical Centers of Excellence platform continued to demonstrate that our operations are materially benefitting from key efficiencies that we have continued to implement over the past year. In view of our recent transaction involving The B.A.C.K. Center, which will allow us to book The B.A.C.K. Center's May and June results, we fully expect that our future quarterly growth will be even more pronounced, with our revenues forecasted to increase to more than $4.8 million in the second quarter."
Continuing, Romandetti said, "As we move through 2015, we will look to continue executing other planned expansion strategies, driving stronger cash flow while paying down our higher cost debt. Given the notable progress we achieved in the first quarter and the momentum we are currently experiencing in our medical business-building business, we feel very optimistic that this year will continue to prove to be our best one yet."
