Providing some limited insight into 2009 Q2, Metiscan has continued to make positive financial improvements. Specifically, Metiscan Managed Services finished paying off its subsidiary’s largest creditor leaving it with less than $21,000 in remaining principal debt payments. Additionally, SOMRI successfully restructured its subsidiary’s debt obligations with Siemens Financial Services whereby the company received $35,000 in debt forgiveness and refinanced its equipment under more favorable terms with JPMorgan Chase Bank. Both of these events have improved the Company’s balance sheet and increased monthly cash flows.
