Material Changes
The Company executed two related transactions on May 18, 2015:
- Repurchase Transaction: Acquired five franchises in Orange County from an entity affiliated with the regional developer (First Light Junction, Inc., Eric Hua, and Tracy Hua). The Company intends to operate three of these as Company-owned clinics.
- Termination Transaction: Reacquired and terminated regional developer rights for the Orange County region from Orange County Wellness, Inc. (shareholders Dennis Conklin and Eric Hua). The Company plans to terminate the license to develop Company-owned clinics directly in this region.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Management Commentary: The Company intends to transition the acquired operating franchises to Company-owned management and will not resell the terminated regional developer rights. Instead, these rights will be used as a prelude to direct development of Company-owned clinics in the Orange County region.
Financial Statements: The filing states that financial information regarding the businesses acquired and pro forma financial information will be filed as soon as practicable, within the timeframe required by Form 8-K. No specific financial data is included in this document.
