BOSTON, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AMICAS, Inc. , a leader in radiology and medical image and information management solutions, today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2005 were $13.6 million as compared to $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2004, which represents a year over year increase of 27%. Sequentially, from the second quarter of 2005, revenues increased by $0.8 million or 6%.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2005 was $(1.7) million compared to a loss of $(3.5) million for the third quarter of 2004. The Company’s net loss for the third quarter of 2005 was $(0.6) million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $(3.9) million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2004.

The Company’s operating loss of $(1.7) million for the third quarter of 2005 includes a $2.5 million litigation settlement for the Jones case, $0.2 million of earn-out settlement, and $0.9 million of depreciation and amortization.

For the first nine months of 2005 total revenues were $38.5 million, a 27% increase compared to $30.2 million for the first nine months of 2004. Loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2005 was $(2.8) million, or $(0.06) per basic and diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $(13.3) million, or $(0.31) per basic and diluted share, for the first nine months of 2004.

Dr. Stephen Kahane, CEO and chairman of AMICAS said, “Demand for imaging and information management solutions continues at a good pace. Solid revenue growth, both sequentially and year over year, indicates that our focus and operational enhancements over the past few quarters are reaping rewards. In addition, we took a significant charge for settlement of the Jones case, a matter related to a 1999 transaction. We are pleased to have that behind us. I know of no other material claims remaining against the Company. In addition, putting the settlement related charges aside, income from operations for the quarter was strong as compared to the third quarter of 2004 loss from operations of $(3.5) million.”

Peter McClennen, president and COO of AMICAS said, “The new AMICAS team has really come together. We continue to build the foundation for growth which delivered strong results in Q3 with significantly improved cross functional execution yielding what we believe is a record number of customer implementations in Q3. This included hospitals, imaging centers and private practices. We expanded our technology with the release of Vision Series(TM) PACS 4.1 and further increased our capacity in our proven customer focused AMICAS Insight Services(SM) professional services offerings. We’re building out strong marketing and sales capacity and look forward to a great RSNA to propel us into 2006.”

Dr. Kahane went on to say that, “AMICAS remains in an excellent position in an excellent market. We believe that our cash resources and financial flexibility remain strong and support our ability to further enhance customer and stockholder value.”

AMICAS ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $86.0 million, no long-term debt and working capital of $76.1 million.

AMICAS management reaffirmed its guidance for fiscal 2005 revenues to increase between 21% and 23% compared to 2004. The Company said that it continues to expect to have operating income adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization and the earnout related charges as a percentage of revenues in the 10% to 15% range in the fourth quarter of 2005. Additionally, the Company expects to be net income positive in the fourth quarter of 2005.
