pleased, in the current economic environment, with the 6% growth in
sales. Our loss from operations in the second quarter decreased
compared to last year by 56%. This decrease in loss resulted from
both the increase in sales and a decrease in overall costs
associated with actions the Company took in April 2009, as it
focused on moving towards profitability over the next several
quarters. This resulted in significant improvements in both May and
June of the quarter. New customer implementations and increased
business from the more than 70 direct payer customers and 35
clearinghouse business relationships are adding to the top line
sales. Our expectation is that over the next two quarters we will
see continued benefits of these efforts in operating profitability
and cash flow," commented Don Crosbie, Chief Executive Officer of
Claimsnet. "Also, the Company reached a milestone in the second
quarter with more than a million transactions processed in each
month. This was the first time that this volume level has been
reached in a quarter." Claimsnet.com inc. is a leading provider of
