The property will only beused as outlined in the comprehensive plan, Page 2p/2 Summary of Beaumont Occ-Med Market Occu-Health Surgery Center has identified a property in Beaumont, TX that is ideal for the placement of an Ambulatory Surgery Center. The consideration for this geographical location came about through a meeting with Prime Occupational Medicine (POM). This group is the leading occupational medicine clinic in the Louisiana market and has recently made an aggressive expansion into the Southeast Texas Market, POM engaged Occu-Health ASC with the task of creating a Surgeon Network that focuses on the surgical treatment of patients with Industrial Injuries - a significant niche market in the area currently devoid of a satisfactory solution. The only private group of orthopedic and hand surgeons was recently acquired by a large health system that does not focus on occupational medicine. Additionally, there are other large occupational medicine clinics in the area that already refer patients to Dr. Verma. These include NOVA, AFC Urgent Care, Occupational Medical Care Nederland, and Golden Triangle ER in Port Arthur, Thus, this market would act as a natural addition and adjunct to the Houston Area project. The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange) has a combined population is 404,000 residents with roughly 100,000 workers employed in the area. Per Texas Workers Comp data about 3 per every 100 workers experience a work -related injury, with approximately another 7% that goes undisclosed to TWC. That accounts for 10,000 cases in the general area that are being treated in either the hospital OR or stand-alone ASCs. With 70% of cases being upper extremity, as hand being the most common work -related injury, there is a budding market of 7,000 case opportunities to be treated by local orthopedic surgeons. It isn't unrealistic that Occu-Health could capture 15% of the existing market. This is independent of any elective cases that local surgical partners will perform at our center. Besides our current relationships in the Beaumont area and the early interest from local providers to work with us, there is another market that we genet -ally never outline in our performance model — Personal Injury (PI). Motor Vehicle Accidents are the number 1 cause of litigation in the state of Texas, with hundreds of thousands being reported in the Golden Triangle region. With our existing relationships in PI and our intimate knowledge in how to process these claims, we can confidently expect this market to increase our volume anywhere from 15-30 cases per month. We have identified interest from a seasoned ASC and Micro Hospital CEO, Pat O'leary. Mr. O'leary has decades of experience running efficient and profitable ASCs and understands how to attract and mobilize local surgeons to the ASC. Mr. O'leary has expressed interest in relocating back to Houston to oversee operations of these two facilities. Lastly, it is our firm belief that with our Occupational Medicine partners, Advanced Surgical Partners, Personal Injury Partners, and the reputations of the practitioners that we have identified to collaborate with, we have a tremendous opportunity to be the premiere ASC in the Gulf Coast that has a primary focus on Workers Comp.
