DETROIT, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United American Healthcare Corporation , a pioneer in health care services for Medicaid recipients, announced today its financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2005 were $5.7 million, up slightly from revenues of $5.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Net earnings for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2005 were approximately $433,000, or $0.06 per share, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.48 per share, reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in net earnings was principally due to an increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses and a higher effective tax rate for the year. The increase in MG&A was primarily due to an increase in costs associated with the administrative supervision order binding on the Company’s subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc. (“UAHC-TN”), since April 20, 2005, and an increase in claims processing costs.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, revenues were $22.1 million, compared to $22.1 million for the prior fiscal year, practically unchanged year-over-year. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, net earnings were $5.3 million, or $0.72 per basic share, compared to net earnings of $7.2 million, or $0.99 per basic share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in net earnings for the fiscal year was primarily due to an increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses and a higher effective tax rate for the period.
At June 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $13.6 million, a 55% increase compared to the $8.8 million reported at June 30, 2004 and a 32% increase compared to the $10.2 million reported at December 31, 2004. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was due primarily to operating activities.
William C. Brooks, President, CEO and Chairman of the Company commented, “We are pleased with the profitable results for the fiscal 2005 year, as our subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc., continues to deliver the best quality service to our TennCare enrollees. We also continue to work closely with the State of Tennessee to meet all regulatory requirements, while UAHC Health Plan remains under administrative supervision.
Mr. Brooks continued, “We are also very pleased that the State of Tennessee has extended its TennCare contract with our subsidiary, UAHC Health Plan of Tennessee, Inc. through, June 30, 2006. This is a testament to our dedicated employees, who continue to provide excellent service to our enrollees, despite these unusual times for UAHC, its employees, and shareholders. We want to reassure everyone of our commitment to our business, as we work hard to provide the best quality service to our TennCare enrollees, and deliver profitable results throughout fiscal 2006.”
