Patient Home Monitoring (PHM) (TSX VENTURE:PHM), a fast-growing and profitable
company focused on rolling-up annuity-based healthcare service companies in the
US and Canada, is well positioned to benefit from recently published articles in
the New England Journal of Medicine. The studies suggest up to one-third of the
strokes with undiagnosed causes may have resulted from atrial fibrillation, a
condition monitored by PHM. In both studies, using a longer home monitoring
duration significantly increased the number of patients prescribed
anticoagulants as a treatment, which in turn suggests an increase in PHM's
weekly home anticoagulant monitoring service market size.
"We continue to see strong evidence that home-based diagnosis and treatment
saves patients lives and reduces overall costs to the US healthcare system,"
said Michael Dalsin, Chairman of PHM. "PHM is well positioned to take advantage
of the resulting increase in demand."
Details of the Accelerated Expiry Date of Select Warrants
PHM announced that the expiry date of the 5,958,047 warrants outstanding
exercisable at $0.22 per share, which have not yet been exercised, has been
accelerated to August 1, 2014 pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Certificates.
The warrants were originally issued pursuant to PHM's private placement of
20,295,176 units (each unit consisting of one common share and one-half of one
warrant) which closed on August 15, 2013, August 30, 2013 and September 6, 2013.
This is a result of the PHM share price achieving a volume-weighted average
trading price greater than $0.30 for more than 10 consecutive trading days.
"This warrant acceleration, along with our existing strong balance sheet and
positive cash flow from operations, ensures that we won't have to seek equity
financing from the capital markets to close the next several acquisitions" said
Michael Dalsin, Chairman of PHM. "Our pipeline is growing and we continue to
work toward closing additional accretive acquisitions in the near term and
expect that we can use debt if necessary for any larger deals."
About PHM
PHM is an acquisition-oriented, fast-growing and profitable company servicing
patients with heart disease and other chronic health conditions. PHM is focused
on acquiring companies in 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 and successfully identifying
and evaluating profitable, annuity-based companies to acquire at favorable
prices in order to integrate their patient databases and technical expertise.
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.
