"The Tennessee deal is another large acquisition for PHM and, when closed, we will likely have reached our 2015 goal of achieving $100 million in annual revenue earlier than planned," said Michael Dalsin, Chairman of PHM. "Along with the acquisition, we plan to draw down on a line of credit to ensure we have plenty of cash for further acquisitions.

"In the coming quarters, we are poised to complete the several acquisitions announced this year, almost doubling our revenue, significantly increasing EBITDA, and perhaps most importantly, adding over 90,000 patients to our database," continued Mr. Dalsin. "After we close all executed LOIs, I expect we will have a cash balance of over $10 million and we will be generating Adjusted EBITDA of close to $20 million per year(1). I expect these numbers will increase once we see the results of cross selling such a large patient database."

"Considering the small size of the business in Georgia and the potential of significant trailing liabilities,' concluded Mr. Dalsin. "We have decided that the risk-reward ratio was not in our favor."

About PHM

The explosive growth in the number of elderly patients in the US healthcare market is creating pressure to provide more efficient delivery systems. Healthcare providers, such as hospitals, physicians and pharmacies, are seeking partners that can offer a range of products and services that improve outcomes, reduce hospital readmissions, and help control costs. PHM fills this need by delivering a growing number of specialized products and services to achieve these goals. PHM is a positive cash flow and profitable company that serves patients with heart disease and other chronic health conditions, this operation is a platform for acquisitions and organic growth. PHM is focused on a highly fragmented and developing market of small privately-held companies servicing chronically ill patients with multiple disease states caused mainly by age and obesity. Because of the new and highly fragmented nature of the market, PHM is actively working to identify and evaluate profitable, annuity-based companies to acquire their patient databases and technical expertise at favorable prices. PHM's post acquisition organic growth strategy is to increase annual revenue per patient by offering multiple services to the same patient, consolidating the patient's services and making life easier for the patient. The expected result is growing EPS with each acquisition and growing revenue and profits from the cross selling efforts.
