Revenue of the HR division was $748,358 for the quarter, a decrease of 30% over the same quarter last year. The contract cycle for the HR division is lengthy because of the nature of its clients that, typically, are government funded organizations. It can take more than a year from first contact to the signing of a contract. The current quarter saw delays in signing new contracts accounting for
the reduced revenue compared to last year. However, new contracts were signed early in the fourth quarter as noted above.
Revenue of the EMR division increased by 25% and was $544,898 for the quarter compared to $434,901 in 2007. The acquisition of National Medical Solutions Inc. (“National”) in the third quarter of 2007 accounted for approximately 65% of the increase with the balance coming from organic growth.
Net loss for the Company for the third quarter was $215,043 compared to net earnings of $60,888 last year. The EMR division recorded net earnings before corporate expenses of $24,432 for the third quarter compared to a net loss of $97,142 last year. For the year-to-date, net loss of the Company was $77,023 compared to net earnings of $99,684 last year, with the EMR division contributing $125,640 before corporate expenses, compared to a loss of $328,010 last year reflecting the beneficial impact of the National acquisition. Corporate expenses are the costs of the parent company that includes the costs of running a public company as well as senior management salaries.
