DENVER, Nov 28, 2000 (BW HealthWire) -- MC Informatics, Inc. (OTCBB:MCIF), an application service provider (ASP) and Web-enablement company for the healthcare industry, reported its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. MC Informatics' third-quarter revenues were down 35 percent as compared to the second quarter, with a net loss showing a decrease of 20 percent. 2000 Third-Quarter Summary -- Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, were $655,771, as compared to $1,007,227 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. -- Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, was $810,456, as compared to a net loss of $1,016,894 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. MC Informatics' revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, were $655,771, as compared to $1,007,227 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of $351,456, or approximately 35 percent. This decrease was primarily a result of a reduction in the company's overall business in the third quarter of 2000. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, was $810,456, as compared to a net loss of $1,016,894 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of $206,438, or 20 percent. The net loss in 2000 was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue during the third quarter of 2000. This decline in business during the third quarter of 2000 resulted in a number of MC Informatics' consultants not being billable and/or being laid off, which further resulted in the company's incurring significant costs associated with the severance of these consultants. "The healthcare delivery systems market has been very difficult this year in that the Balanced Budget Act has gutted spending for information systems improvements," said Bill W. Childs, MC Informatics' chairman and chief executive officer. "Because there is so much to do in this information intensive business, we expect this freeze in spending to end although it is currently dragging on. Almost all businesses serving information systems' needs in hospitals and physicians' offices have been adversely affected this year."
