Gross profit in the quarter increased 75% to $238,000 from $136,000 in Q3 2008
Net loss was ($64,000) versus ($46,000) a year ago
During the quarter the company spent roughly $81,000 on legal fees and a total of
$157,000 for the year.
New Mexico Software CEO Dick Govatski said, “We continue to see substantial growth in our Telerad Radiological Services (TRS) as we have added new customers and licensed radiologists to handle the growing amount of traffic. We now have 29 licensed radiologists available to read and report on radiological studies from customers in 38 states. This is up from 20 radiologists covering 36 states as of the end of the second quarter.
“TRS now represents about 83% of the company’s revenues that are generated by software usage fees, software hosting and maintenance services and scanning services. We have worked hard to keep costs under control but our bottom line has been adversely affected by major legal expenses associated with a customer dispute. Absent the legal fees associated with this matter, the company would have been profitable for all of 2009. We believe the case brought by the other party is without merit and we are vigorously disputing claims made against us with the hope it will be resolved in our favor. A trial date has been set for April 5, 2010.
“We continue to be quite optimistic about our ability to expand business. Currently we are working to expand revenues to include other services complementary to teleradiology including online billing, electronic medical records and telecardiology. We have recruited a Chief Cardiologist and we are in the process of credentialing 13 additional cardiologists to provide EKG, Echo, and Nuclear exams to customers in 14 states. The telecardiology division will be fully functional by the end of the year.” Govatski said.
