(NASDAQ:MIOA) Thursday reported revenues for the second quarter, ended June 30, 1998 of $5,764,125, an increase of 355% over 1997 second quarter revenues of $1,267,375. Net income climbed 273% to $381,247, or $.02 diluted earnings per share, for the current reporting period as compared to net losses of $218,397, or $.05 loss per share, in the previous year's comparable period. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, revenues totalled $8,985,143, a 182% increase over revenues of $3,187,301 posted for the previous year's six months reporting period, ended June 30, 1997. The company reported net income of $495,026, or $.03 diluted earnings per share for the current period as compared to net income of only $192,102 reported in the prior year's comparable reporting period. According to Michael F. Morrell, chairman and CEO of Medical Industries of America: "We couldn't be more pleased with the financial performance of our newly acquired medical ancillary businesses and the organic growth of our existing companies. The positive impact they are having on both top and bottom line growth is evident. This is clearly illustrated by comparing the near $6 million in revenue posted in this recent quarter with 1997 fiscal year's total revenue of approximately $4.7 million. Furthermore, by viewing the most recent two quarters where a 79% increase in top line growth was realized ($5,764,125 in revenue compared to $3,221,018 reported for the first quarter ended March 31, 1998) and bottom line net income increased 235% from $113,778 for the current fiscal's 1st quarter to $381,247 in the second quarter, I think it's safe to say that our growth strategy is achieving desired results." In conclusion, Morrell added, "With our merger with Physician Health Corporation in process and the ultimate birth of MedSurg Ancillaries Inc. in the forseeable future, we couldn't be more excited about the short and long term growth prospects for the company."
