OPHTHALMIC IMAGING SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END 2009 RESULTS
- - -
Revenue for the fourth quarter increased 43.9% compared to last year
 
SACRAMENTO, CALIF., MARCH 29, 2010 – Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (OIS) (OTC BB: OISI), a leading digital imaging, image management, EMR, and practice management company, today reported its financial results for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2009 and provided an update on recent corporate developments.
 
“We are delighted by the increase of product sales as indicated by the fourth quarter results. This increase was mainly due to a significant rise in the sales of our CCHIT® certified EMR and PM solutions. We are also excited by the FDA approval of our OIS EyeScan in November of 2009. The EyeScan is a revolutionary new versatile imaging device that provides more functionality to ophthalmologists and optometrists than has ever been available at this price point. As such, we are excited to begin to fully market the device and expect high demand moving forward,” stated Gil Allon, Chief Executive Officer of OIS.

“During the year, OIS entered into a capital raise agreement with U.M. AccelMed that, with the closing of the first installment, helped bolster our balance sheet by approximately $4 million.  This infusion of capital provides OIS with the additional resources needed to successfully market and sell our software and digital imaging equipment, including electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) solutions marketed and sold by OIS and its subsidiary Abraxas Medical Solutions” concluded Mr. Allon.
 
 

 
 
 

 
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, OIS reported a net revenue increase of 43.9% to $4.3 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2008.  The revenue growth is due to an increase in product and service sales of approximately $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.   Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was approximately ($0.5) million, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 of approximately ($1.8) million or ($0.11) per basic and diluted share.

For the three months ended December 31, 2009, OIS reported a positive cash flow provided by operating activities of approximately $282,000, compared with cash flow used in operating activities of approximately ($806,000) for the same period in 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, OIS reported a net revenue increase of 8.6% to $13.6 million, compared with net revenues of $12.5 million for the same period in 2008. The revenue growth is primarily attributable to an increase in product sales.  Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately ($5.5) million, or ($0.25) per basic and diluted share, compared to the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 of approximately ($2.9) million, or ($0.18) per basic and diluted share. The increase in net loss is mainly attributable to a $4.4 million impairment of debt related to MediVision Medical Imaging, Ltd., OIS's former parent company and current major shareholder.  On October 21, 2009, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of MediVision which include certain European operations as conducted by CCS Pawlowski GmbH (MediVision’s German subsidiary at the time), a branch office in Belgium, agreements under which MediVision contracted with third parties for distribution and other services, as well as rights to intellectual property.  This acquisition will provide OIS with access to new customers, technology and regional control over operations in the European market. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, OIS reported cash flow used in operating activities of approximately ($62,000), compared with cash flow used in operating activities of approximately ($740,000) for the same period in 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company reported $5.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.4 million in total shareholders’ equity. 

Ariel Shenhar, CEO, Abraxas Medical Solutions, stated, “We expect sales of our EMR and PM solutions to continue to increase as more small and medium sized physician offices make the shift in this direction and as the government funded Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act begins to generate more traction and greater awareness among physicians.  The healthcare reform passage last week acts as a strong indicator that the current administration will continue investing federal resources to encourage physicians to use electronic medical records. This support will have a significant impact on the EMR industry as a whole. According to a survey used in a recent report by Accenture (NYSE: ACN), more than 58% of non-EMR users will adopt an EMR system within the next two years. As a provider of CCHIT certified EMR and PM solutions, we believe the U.S. government’s latest actions will generate even greater demand for solutions like ours and be a driving force for our business in the future.”
