The Company Reports Quarter-Over-Quarter Growth of 15.8%
STUART, Fla., May 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:LBMH) announced net revenues of $14,670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $2,006,000, or 15.8%, compared with sales of $12,664,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The increase in sales was primarily due to the Company's continued emphasis on its direct response advertising campaign to obtain new customers and its customer service to maximize the reorder rates for its recurring customer base.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased by $1,093,000, or 13.9%, to $8,983,000, compared with gross profit of $7,890,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The increase was attributed to increased sales volume for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, compared with the same periods in 2011.

| · | Gross profit increased by $1.1 million, or 13.9%, to $9.0 million. |

Mr. Libratore, CEO, stated: "The second quarter of our fiscal year is typically a challenging quarter for us each year due to the annual renewal of our customers' insurance coverage, primarily Medicare Part B coverage, and calendar year deductibles that must be met by the majority of our customers at the beginning of each calendar year. Despite these challenges, we were able to improve our operating margins by 240 basis points from 5.3% during the second quarter 2011 to 7.7% during the second quarter 2012 as a result operational efficiencies gained through increased sales volumes and investments made in software and technology. In addition, we generated $2.7 million in cash flow from operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2012."
Mr. Libratore added: "We receive initial contact from prospective customers in the form of leads. A certain number of leads are then qualified and become new customers. The majority of the new customers qualified from our process typically place their initial order within three to six months from the time of the customer's initial contact with us. We have demonstrated our ability to attract and retain customers with our unique customer service that generates an annuity-like revenue stream. We have introduced in our periodic reports, beginning with the quarter ending March, 31, 2012, a new chart that shows our quarterly revenue streams, including new and recurring orders, for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, based on the fiscal year we received the initial order lead from these customers."
Financial Condition
The Company had cash of $4,767,000 at March 31, 2012, compared with cash of $3,016,000 at September 30, 2011, an increase of $1,751,000. The increase in cash for the six months ended March 31, 2012, is primarily due to $845,000 of cash generated through its operation activities for the six months ended March 31, 2012, and $1,000,000 of borrowings from the credit line facility.
During the six months ended March 31, 2012, cash provided by operations was $845,000, which was the result of net income of $1,124,000 plus non-cash charges of $7,191, 000 less changes in operating assets and liabilities of $7,470,000. The non-cash charges consist primarily of $3,853,000 for amortization of deferred advertising costs, $1,973,000 for bad debt expenses, $743,000 for deferred income taxes, $409,000 for depreciation and amortization, $111,000 for inventory reserve, and $81,000 for equity based compensation associated with employee and director stock options.
