Comments by CEO Dick Govatski
CEO Govatski said, “This was another quarter of solid progress for our company. Business was good in most of our operating segments with our Services Division the main driver but with ongoing improvement in our Specialists operation. We also benefited from the addition of our staffing company that we acquired at the end of the second quarter. These gains were further reflected in our strengthened balance sheet that showed strong improvements in cash, current assets and total assets. This also included a decrease in accounts receivable and a much improved cash position.
“I am pleased that although we have invested aggressively in new technology and services, we have remained profitable. The roll out of our new WebRTC (Real Time Communications) telemedicine conferencing tool is drawing strong interest from multiple sources and potential new customers. This bodes well for our future. Our new RTC Switch will greatly facilitate doctor-patient and hospital ER/ICU communications. The ability of healthcare providers to use the iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC for telemedicine is important because it will ultimately help millions of patients while trimming healthcare costs. This is a new version of the house call that will work well for patients and enable doctors to provide better care to more patients, an important issue in modern medicine. The receiver version is already available in the Apple App Store.
“In addition, the University of New Mexico has agreed to provide expanded neuro-specialist and neuro-surgery coverage in New Mexico using our technology. This arrangement will materially expand the usage of our telemedicine program in rural hospitals statewide in New Mexico. There are approximately 25 rural hospitals in New Mexico with limited specialist availability. This partnership will help alleviate that shortage. The University of New Mexico will provide additional physician services to help rural hospitals with optional educational training, stroke certification and quality assurance programs. Our hardware, software and services will be a key factor in the success of UNM’s stroke intervention outreach.
“Clearly, our company has never been stronger. Not only are we financially stronger, but the pipeline of new business continues to expand, providing us with promising opportunities. We look forward to sharing those with you in the coming months,” Govatski said.
