Business Wire
- Union Dental Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:UDHI) Dr. George Green,
President and CEO, issued the following letter to shareholders.
Dear Fellow Shareholders, During the latter part of 2005, we
achieved several significant milestones as we accelerated our
business plan. We successfully expanded our network of dentists,
increased our revenues, heightened our media exposure, added to our
technology offering, and strengthened our balance sheet. While we
still have a great deal to accomplish in 2006, in my view, the
Company is ideally positioned to achieve our aggressive goals and
objectives. Network Expansion This year started with a very
promising announcement as Union Dental reported that it doubled the
network of dentists in two months. The Company bolstered its dental
provider number from 450 dentists / specialists to over 1,100.
Adding 68 new dental locations in California & Nevada was of
great significance to Union Dental as the addition of these dental
providers is another milestone in the Company's history. Third
Quarter & Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 For the three
months ended September 30, 2005, Union Dental reported revenues of
$499,035, which represented an increase of 23% over the same period
last year. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30,
2005, the Company reported revenues of $1,623,596, which
represented an increase of 48% over the same period last year.
Media Exposure Union Dental was a feature story in the December
1st, 2005 issue of Managed Dental Care. Within the article, an
excellent summary was provided of the Company's recent
accomplishments including the pursuit of a national contract with
the Communications Workers of America (CWA). The article also
discussed our initiatives with union representatives in other
industries as we pursue the expansion of the Company's dental
networks. Technology On December 13, 2005, Union Dental was proud
to announce the completion and implementation of the HIPPA
(Portability and Accountability Act 1996) compliant Web Link
Solutions. The Solution processes "on-line" and "real time"
eligibility verification, claims submission and claims adjudication
in a single pass environment. The proven solutions reduce medical,
dental, operational and administrative costs for both payers and
providers and are now HIPPA compliant. Financing Recently, we
announced the completion of a $960,000 Senior Note with the
Dutchess Private Equities. This financing was of crucial importance
as it will provide the required funding to enable the Company to
secure our primary objective, the national contract with the CWA.
This financing was another milestone in our Company's history. We
intend to build a national network of dentists to service this CWA
contract. Our management team believes that the Company is truly
dynamic in its market niche. During the past three months, we have
been extremely productive as demonstrated by the issuance of
numerous and significant press releases. In closing, I would like
to thank you for your support of our Company and we will continue
to strive to build shareholder value as we pursue our aggressive
business plans. Dr. George Green President & CEO Union Dental
