MT. VERNON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1998--Community Care Services, Inc. (Nasdaq SmallCap Issues:CCSE) ("Community Care") today announced financial results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1998 (see attached table).
Revenues for the fiscal 1999 second quarter were $4,433,000 versus $5,005,000 for the same period one year ago. For the six months ended September 30, 1998, revenues were $8,865,000 as compared to revenues of $9,238,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 1998. The decrease in revenues for these periods is primarily the result of reductions in oxygen reimbursement rates as a result of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997; reductions in reimbursement rates by certain third party payers; and a reduction in referral based business. The Company has established several sales initiatives to restore prior sales levels from existing and new referrals. The Company has also increased prices in certain segments of its business. The results of these initiatives will not be seen until fiscal year 2000, beginning April 1, 1999.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 1998 second quarter and six month periods decreased, respectively, to 49.3% and 48.5% from 55.7% and 54.4% reported for the comparable prior year periods. These decreases were due primarily to the economies of scale achieved via the consolidation and centralization of the operations and personnel of Metropolitan Respirator Service to Community Care's expanded administrative and warehouse facilities in Mount Vernon.
The Company reported net income of $24,000, or less than $0.01 per share, versus net income of $28,000, or less than $0.01 per share, for the same period last year. For the six months ended September 30, 1998, the Company reported net income $69,000, or $0.01 per share, versus a net loss of $145,000, or $0.02 per share, for the comparable period in the prior year.
