"We are extremely pleased with the progress of our business and consistent track record of solid financial performance," said Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr., Continucare's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our second fiscal quarter financial results reflect continued improvement in our operations. Notably, our net income increased 82% compared to the second quarter of our prior fiscal year. This improvement resulted from a combination of higher revenue and a lower medical expense ratio. During the quarter we also continued to strengthen our financial position by increasing our cash and working capital positions while our balance sheet remained virtually free of long-term indebtedness. We were successful in strengthening our financial position even as we actively pursued the repurchase of our shares. In addition, we continued to make progress with Continucare ValuClinic[R], our new line of retail-based convenient care clinics. We opened our first location in December, followed by two more in January."
