1. 
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

First Surgical Texas, Inc., including its subsidiaries, is an owner and operator of two ambulatory surgery centers (“ASC”), First Street Surgical Center, L.P., and First Surgical Woodlands, L.P., and a general acute care hospital, First Street Hospital, L.P., all located in the greater Houston, Texas metro area.  Procedures performed include non life-threatening surgeries, such as bariatrics, reconstructive and cosmetic plastics, orthopedics, pain management, neurosurgery and podiatry, which are often completed on an outpatient or short stay basis.

Effective December 1, 2010, Piper Acquisition III, Inc. (“Piper”) acquired all of the limited and general partnership interests of First Street Surgical Center, L.P., First Surgical Woodlands, L.P., and First Street Hospital, L.P. (“Partnerships”), all of which were under common control, in exchange for the issuance of 36,000,002 shares of Piper’s common stock.

The exchange of shares has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, the merger has been recorded as a recapitalization of Piper, with the consolidated financials of the Partnerships being treated as the continuing entity (“we” or the “Company”).  Effective December 3, 2010, the Company changed its name to First Surgical Texas, Inc.  The historical financial statements presented are those of the Partnerships. The continuing company has retained December 31 as its fiscal year end. The financial statements of the legal acquirer, Piper, are not significant; therefore, no pro forma financial information is submitted.

2. 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information.  These financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures, which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary for fair presentation.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire year.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated unaudited financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired , as additional information is obtained, and as our operating environment changes.  Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) allowance for contractual revenue adjustments; (2) depreciable lives of assets; (3) assessment of long-lived assets for impairment (4) economic lives and fair values of leased assets; (5) uncertain tax positions; and (6) contingency and litigation reserves.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis and may employ outside experts to assist in our evaluation, as considered necessary.  Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its financial statements and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist primarily of net patient service revenues that are recorded based upon established billing rates less allowances for contractual adjustments.  Revenues are recorded during the period the healthcare services are provided, based upon the estimated amounts due from the patients and third-party payors, including federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, and employers.  Estimates of contractual allowances under third-party payor arrangements are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements.  Third-party payor contractual payment terms are generally based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates, or discounted fee-for-service rates.  The Company does not expect there to be material changes to prior period estimates of allowances for contractual and other adjustments.  Further, we do not foresee changes in our estimate of unsettled amounts from third party payors as of the latest balance sheet date that could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex, subject to interpretation, and are routinely modified for provider reimbursement.  All healthcare providers participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs are required to meet certain financial reporting requirements. Federal regulations require submission of annual cost reports covering medical costs and expenses associated with the services provided by each hospital to program beneficiaries.  Annual cost reports required under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are subject to routine audits, which may result in adjustments to the amounts ultimately determined to be due to the Company under these reimbursement programs.  These audits often require several years to reach the final determination of amounts earned under the programs.  As a result, there is at least a reasonable possibility that recorded estimates will change by a material amount in the near term.
 
We provide care to patients who are financially unable to pay for the healthcare services they receive, and because we do not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care, such amounts are not recorded as revenues.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents.  These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.  Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

The Company reports accounts receivable at estimated net realizable amounts from services rendered from federal and state agencies (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs), managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, workers’ compensation programs, employers, and patients.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on first-in, first-out basis.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Additions and betterments that extend the life of the asset are capitalized.  Assets under capital lease obligations are reported at the lower of fair value or the present value of the aggregate future minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term.  In the case of sale, retirement, or disposal, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation balances are removed from the respective accounts, and the resulting net amount, less any proceeds, is included as income from operations in the consolidated statements of operations.  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The depreciable lives and depreciation methods used for each class of asset are as follows:

   
Useful
   
Class
 
Life
 
Depreciation Method
Furniture and Equipment
 
5-7 years
 
200% double declining
Software
 
3 years

Leasehold Improvements
  
5-30 years

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expense was $83,687 and $115,080 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $243,673 and $321,267 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in the caption Other Operating Expenses.

Income Taxes

We provide for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This approach recognizes the amount of federal, state, and local taxes payable or refundable for the current year, as well as deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequence of events recognized in the consolidated financial statements and income tax returns.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws or enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Realization is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income.  We evaluate our tax positions and establish assets and liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on uncertainty in income taxes.  We review these tax uncertainties in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, and adjust them accordingly.  The Company and its corporate subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.  Some subsidiaries consolidated for financial reporting purposes are not part of the consolidated group for federal income tax purposes and file separate federal income tax returns.  State income tax returns are filed on a separate, combined, or consolidated basis in accordance with relevant state laws and regulations.  Partnerships, limited liability partnerships, limited liability companies, and other pass-through entities that we consolidate or account for using the equity method of accounting file separate federal and state income tax returns.  We include the allocable portion of each pass-through entity’s income or loss in our federal income tax return.  We allocate the remaining income or loss of each pass-through entity to the other partners or members who are responsible for their portion of the taxes.

(Unaudited)

The Company’s income (loss) before income taxes totaled $1,029,340 and ($731,381) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $7,458,811 and $5,083,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  All of this income passed through to the then-limited partners of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company, therefore, had no corporate tax obligation to record. The Company had no deferred tax assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2010 or 2009.  Had the acquisition by Piper occurred on January 1, 2008, the Company’s pro-forma income tax expense (benefit) would have been $360,269 and ($255,983) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $2,610,584 and $1,779,259 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital lease obligations, and debt.  The recorded values of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.

The recorded values of capital lease obligations and long-term debt approximate their fair values, as their effective interest rates approximates market rates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate we may not be able to recover the asset’s carrying amount.  We measure the recoverability of long-lived assets by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the expected net future cash flows to be generated by that asset.  We present an impairment charge as a separate line item within income from continuing operations in our consolidated statements of operations, unless the impairment is associated with a discontinued operation.  In that case, we include the impairment charge, on a net-of-tax basis, within the results of discontinued operations.  The Company did not recognize an impairment of long-lived assets during either of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.

 Financing Costs

We amortize financing costs using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt.  The related expense is included in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

Accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, environmental and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change.

Earnings per Common Share

The calculation of earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding during the applicable period.  The calculation for diluted earnings per common share recognizes the effect of all potential dilutive securities that were outstanding during the respective periods, unless their impact would be antidilutive.  The Company had no dilutive securities outstanding during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition by Piper, on December 1, 2010, all of the net income from the Company’s subsidiaries, First Street Surgical Center, L.P., First Surgical Woodlands, L.P., and First Street Hospital, L.P. passed through to the then-limited partners of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company, therefore, had no corporate tax obligation to record (see Note 2 – Income Taxes).  Had the acquisition by Piper occurred on January 1, 2008, the Company’s pro-forma earnings per share would have been $0.02 and ($0.01) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $0.12 and $0.09 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through December 30, 2010, which represents the issuance date of these consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2009, the FASB amended guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which was effective beginning the second quarter of the Company’s 2010 fiscal year, June 30, 2010.  These amendments prescribe new disclosures and clarify certain existing disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements.  The objective of the amendments was to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.  The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB amended guidance related to disclosure of subsequent events, which was effective upon issuance.  These amendments prescribe that entities that are SEC filers are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued.  The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

LINES OF CREDIT

First Street Hospital, L.P. entered into a Letter Loan Agreement (“FSH Letter Loan Agreement”) with a financial institution on January 8, 2008.  The FSH Letter Loan Agreement provided for a $750,000 line of credit loan and a term loan (“FSH Loans”).  The FSH Letter Loan Agreement provides for FSH Loans to be secured by real property owned by First Street Holdings, L.P., a related party to the Company, as well as accounts, inventory, fixtures, equipment and general intangibles; that the loans will be guaranteed personally by certain former partners of First Street Hospital, L.P., who are current shareholders of the Company; and require First Street Hospital, L.P. to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0.  The line of credit loan calls for monthly interest only payments which shall from day to day be equal to the lesser of (a) a fluctuating rate per annum (the ‘Contract Rate’) which is equal to the Index Rate which represents the rate of interest then most recently established by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank (or its successors) as its prime rate or (b) the Maximum Rate (the maximum lawful nonusurious rate of interest which under applicable law payee is permitted to charge).  The effective rate of interest at September 30, 2010 was 5.75%.  The line of credit loan originally matured on January 8, 2009, but has been extended to January 8, 2011.  The outstanding balance at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $581,250 and $631,250, respectively.  Unused credit at September 30, 2010 was $168,750.  The Company recognized total interest expense of $8,541 and $6,241 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $28,886 and $17,494 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

First Street Surgical Center, L.P. entered into a Letter Loan Agreement (“FSSC Letter Loan Agreement”) with a financial institution on January 8, 2008. The FSSC Letter Loan Agreement provided for a $750,000 line of credit loan and a term loan (“FSSC Loans”). The FSSC Letter Loan Agreement provides for FSSC Loans to be secured by real property owned by First Street Holdings, L.P., a related party to the Company, as well as accounts, inventory, fixtures, equipment and general intangibles; that the loans will be guaranteed personally by certain former partners of First Street Surgical Center, L.P., who are current shareholders of the Company; and require First Street Surgical Center, L.P. to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0. The line of credit loan calls for monthly interest only payments which shall from day to day be equal to the lesser of (a) a fluctuating rate per annum (the ‘Contract Rate’) which is equal to the Index Rate which represents the rate of interest then most recently established by J.P.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On November 4, 2010, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with the shareholders of Arkson Nutraceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Arkson”), pursuant to which the Company’s Shareholders agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of the Company in exchange for 39,964,346 shares of Arkson’s common stock (the “Merger”). On November 24, 2010, the Company entered an agreement with Arkson to extend the closing date to December 31, 2010. The Merger closed on December 31, 2010. Considering that, following the merger, the Company’s shareholders control the majority of the merged company’s outstanding common stock, the Company is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of the Company’s securities for Arkson’s net monetary assets, which were deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this transaction. The Company is the surviving and continuing entity and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of the Company. The result of the merger had no effect on the Company’s consolidated net assets, net income or cash flow. The merger did result in the recapitalization of the Company’s stockholders’ equity as presented below:
