I might go out with her for a few months.
same here, good luck
i don't know what's worse. that was my gtc sale at .0186 (cb .003s). im still happy with the profit after all is said and done.
That really sucks, maybe too risky to buy know. I will surely keep this on my radar.
i found it yesterday , got into a cold sweat with excitement.. it ran because they caught up on all filings 2011-present after hours Friday posting earnings per share of .03 last quarter. i bid yesterday at .02 figuring I'd get SOME shares there being above the 52wk high and above Fridays ask, but although todays low showed at Fridays ask price of .0186 they didn't sell a single share to my .02 bid. i don't really understand that and was very pissed off... F this stock!
What's the deal with this stock? Is a reverse split taking place? Why did it go up today?
FPCG is getting attension and momentum
Hasn't been any action here for a long time does anyone ever even pop their heads in here anymore?
Does any one have David's new number to verify some of the info for investing purposes. This stock is acting strange and either it has room to grow or possibly dead....
GLTA that even see this post!

View Additional ProfilesBEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tri-Isthmus Group, Inc. (TIGroup) (OTCBB:TISG), a provider of financial solutions to the healthcare industry, announced today its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 ended March 31, 2009 and for the first six months of fiscal year 2009.
Highlights from operating results for the second fiscal quarter were:
-- Revenue from medical services for the second fiscal quarter totaled
$10.2 million. This represented an increase of 57% from $6.5 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2008. Revenue from medical
services totaled $21 million for the first half of the fiscal year. This
represented an increase of 86% from $11.3 million for the comparable
period ended March 31, 2008.
-- Revenue was effectively flat on a sequential quarterly basis but up
significantly on a comparable year-over-year basis.
-- Healthcare operations, which included earnings from surgery centers,
critical access hospitals and medical clinics, generated adjusted EBITDA
of $453,000 for the three-month period and approximately $1.28 million
for the six-month period ended March 31, 2009.
-- The company-wide operating loss before non-cash charges for the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 was ($585,000) compared to operating income of
$321,000 for the period ending March 31, 2008. For the current six
months the operating loss was ($737,000) versus operating income of
$402,000 for the comparable period ending March 31, 2008. Adjusted
company-wide EBITDA was negative ($948,000) reflecting the add-back of
non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation/amortization and
interest to the overall net loss of ($1.87 million).
-- The company retained a strong cash position with close to $4 million in
available and restricted cash.
Business development and financing activity highlights for the quarter were:
-- Through April 2009, the company completed financings totaling $2.4
million in convertible notes with a conversion feature at $0.625 per
share and Series 5A warrant exercises at a price of $0.50. The company
continues to receive strong support from its existing investor base.
-- The company agreed to a definitive transaction and documentation with
Chandler Medical Group to acquire the business located near the Stroud
Regional Medical Center in Oklahoma. On May 1, 2009 the two companies
began working together with the company providing billing services for
Chandler.
-- The company reached agreement in principle to significantly expand its
presence in San Diego with a leading medical provider group through the
Del Mar Outpatient Surgery Center. The agreement is subject to
completion and final documentation, which is expected to be finalized by
the end of the third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2009.
-- The company received written commitment for $6 million toward the
recapitalization of the Southern Plains Medical Center property and
building. This transaction is expected to include the refinancing of an
existing $4.5 million bank note due in October 2009 and will free up
$1.5 million in restricted cash. The closing is expected during this
current quarter subject to completion of due diligence, appraisals,
documentation and financing. The company will retain majority ownership
of the building and property after the refinancing.
TIGroup Chairman and CEO David Hirschhorn said, "Our second fiscal quarter was another quarter of important accomplishments and progress. Even in a difficult market, we maintained our top line and generated positive EBITDA in operations. Additionally, we moved closer to finishing the refinancing of our balance sheet with the goal of achieving a 3-to-1 working capital ratio during this calendar year.
"We remain cautiously optimistic that we can continue our growth through the balance of the fiscal year. There are many obvious challenges in both the national and local economies faced by all businesses. These challenges are heightened for our industry by possible changes to our healthcare system for providers, hospitals, insurance companies, employers and the insured by the current administration in Washington D.C. However, our post March 31, 2009 business development pipeline and prospective financing transactions are expected to continue to fuel our growth and help us accomplish our overall goal of profitability in 2009."

According to estimates of the TIGroup approximately 5,000 ASCs are operational in US with EBITDA margin for each of the close to $1.5 million. This leads to an estimated free cash flow approximately $7.5 billion per year. The initial investment costs are high but the costs can be stabilized with higher volume of business. A well managed centre should be able to generate 30 percent operating margins.
Annualizing the TIGroup revenue for the quarter ended January 31, the yearly revenue figures is likely to meet the guidance of $20 million provided by the Company. There is a possibility of exceeding the targeted sales if the Company grows inorganically over the next twoo quarters of the current year.
The government has different set of regulations for ambulatory surgical centers (ASC’s) and hospital outpatient department. The scope of procedure involved in (ASC’s) is limited and cannot be used for treatment of inpatients and outpatients interchangeably as against hospital outpatient department. But, the facilities provided by (ASC’s) have improved significantly over the past 2-3 years.
The structure of ownership of ambulatory surgical centers can be broken down as 61 percent ownership by physicians, 11 percent ownership of corporate and physician, 16 percent ownership of hospital and physician and the remaining 12 percent is contributed by hospitals, corporate or a combination of corporate and hospital.
TIGroup strategizes to focus on investment in platform strategies in the business services and healthcare industries concentrating on healthcare and ancillary services. The company is eyeing companies valued anywhere between $3 million to $50 million. This seems to be the right startegy as TI Group will need to fund acquiring such companies. The group has rightly identified this potential and is aggresively moving on expanding adopting the inorganic route.
TIGroup is primarily focussed on ASC's and rural hospitals. There may be several reasons for the management to believe that focussing on these two segments may help the company reach a largely untapped and underserved market. The markets in rural areas still provide a lot of growth potential given the low penetration of quality healthcare facilties in such areas.
TIGroup operates with a unique business model. The model emphasizes on facilitating improvement of operations and enhance value of investments made by physicians. The Company offers innovative financial strategies that aid physician owners unlock value creation.This is one of the less explored medical area that can turn in a cash cow for the Company
2008 is going to be an eventful year for TIGroup. A lot of initiatives have been taken by the Company over the past six months. Investors who closely track this stock and have been aggrssively accumulating it on declines will surely be rewarded handsomely on their investments given the aggresive and robust growth strategy of the company.
Tri-Isthumus Group Inc is on a expansion spree, identifying potential companies for acquisition. The RHA acquisition is the right example if we need anything to understand the business model of growth through acquisition for TIGroup.
TIGroup delivers outstanding FY2008 first quarter results, revenue has grown from $0.7 million to $4.7 million for the comparable quarter ended January 2008. The performance reinstigates the faith of its investors on a promising company in the healthcare space.
TIGroup is a publicly traded company that owns ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) and rural critical access hospitals as well as a medical clinic and an ancillary services support unit. The objective of the Company is to aid doctors, medical institutions, caregivers serving patients in a better way. Tri-Isthumus Group Inc., ensures this by providng several alternatives that inlcude innovative financial structures, adopting best practices, using the latest technology and increased access to leading diagnostic tools and therapies.
