Metropolitan Health Networks Reports Record 2004 Results; Company Achieves 8th Consecutive Quarter of Profitability
Business Wire - March 22, 2005 07:00
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Mar 22, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc. (AMEX:MDF) (ArcaEx:MDF), a leading provider of healthcare services in Florida, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $40.9 million as compared to $35.5 million for the same period of 2003. Net income for the quarter was $9.9 million, or $0.21 per share, as compared to a net income of $1.6 million or $0.04 per share for the same period last year.
Total revenue for 2004 was $158.1 million as compared to $143.9 million for 2003. Net income for the year amounted to $18.8 million or $0.42 per share as compared to $0.13 per share for 2003.
Included in both the 2004 annual and fourth quarter results was a one-time benefit from income taxes of $7.4 million or $0.16 per basic share, the result of the Company's recognition of the tax benefit of its remaining net operating loss carry-forward (NOL).
The company reported that during 2004, cash and equivalents increased by over $10.6 million to $12.8 million, while current liabilities were reduced from $7.8 million at year-end 2003, to $3.2 million at December 31, 2004. Total liabilities for the year decreased from $9.7 million to $3.5 million and working capital increased by $18.1 million in 2004 to a total of $15.7 million. Shareholders' equity improved from a deficit of $503,000 at year-end 2003 to $24.6 million at December 31, 2004. The Company further reported that in early 2005 it paid in full the remaining outstanding balance of $850,000 on a note.
Michael Earley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Metropolitan Health Networks, commented, "This has been a record setting year for Metropolitan and our operations remain on course entering 2005. During 2004 we enjoyed revenue growth and increased operating margins largely as a result of Medicare funding increases, favorable medical utilization, and stabilization in the number of members we care for. Funding increases of 13.2% and 15.7% in our Daytona and South Florida markets, respectively, allowed for improved benefits contributing both to member recruitment and retention. We ended the year with 26,700 members, an increase of approximately 1,400 members over year-end 2003."
Earley continued, "Going forward we will continue to seek the expansion of our core managed care business through further development of our relationship with Humana, Inc., the dominant Medicare Advantage provider in Florida. Humana is investing heavily in sales and marketing to grow their Medicare Advantage membership and we will continue to work hand in hand with them to increase our share of this business. We also continue to develop and license our own Medicare Advantage HMO targeting Florida markets that are underserved by Medicare Advantage plans. We have added three new counties to our state and federal application process for the HMO giving Metropolitan access to approximately 350,000 Medicare eligible residents in six counties. We currently anticipate spending between $5 million and $7 million in developing this business in 2005 and 2006 and we hope to be enrolling members by mid-year 2005."
Conference Call Information:
Metropolitan Health Networks will hold a conference call to review its fourth quarter and full year 2004 results on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. EST.

Biophan Commencing Animal Trials of MRI-Visible Vena Cava Filter
Business Wire - March 11, 2005 16:01
Advanced Solution Expected to Boost Safety of Vena Cava Filter Procedures, Ushering in New Era of Interventional MRI
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Mar 11, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: BIPH), a developer of next-generation biomedical technology, today announced plans to begin animal trials of its advanced MRI-imageable vena cava filter, in a research program underway at the Company's newly established Biophan-Europe division. The announcement of the trials, anticipated to commence within the next quarter, was made by Michael Weiner, Chief Executive Officer of Biophan.
Vena cava filters are used in the main venous system, where they remain either temporarily or permanently, to trap circulating blood clots, plaque, or other materials that can cause life threatening lung embolisms. The Company's vena cava filter was developed at its Biophan-Europe division, a German company formerly known as AMRIS GmbH. Biophan recently acquired a controlling interest in the company, which is recognized as a leading innovator of medical devices and technology solutions compatible with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
"The advanced vena cava technology is just one of the exciting pioneering research and development programs underway at Biophan-Europe, and is an excellent indication of the sort of work that made the acquisition of AMRIS so important to Biophan," said Mr. Weiner. "The solutions being developed at Biophan-Europe have significant implication for major sectors of the medical device marketplace."
Much of the technology under development at Biophan-Europe involves its "active" MRI solutions that use proprietary resonant frequency circuitry to enable superior functionality in MRI visualization. The Company's vena cava filter is unique in part because it enables physicians to use MRI to see inside the filter to determine if any clots or other materials have been trapped inside the filter, a capability almost impossible under x-ray visualization. This is currently the only filter that can be placed under MRI guidance, allows visualization of captured substrates, and subsequently removed.
Biophan's vena cava filter research program also breaks new ground in the field of interventional MRI; currently, the multi-billion-dollar MRI marketplace is almost entirely used to provide doctors with images for diagnostic purposes. Today, vena cava filters are mainly inserted through the femoral vein and placed in the inferior vena cava (IVC); the placement procedure is comparably simple, but currently must be conducted under x-ray guided visualization. This requires nephrotoxic and allergenic iodine-based contrast agents to be injected into the patient, and, as well, exposes patient and doctor to the x-ray radiation for the length of the procedure. Biophan's MRI-compatible devices could be inserted under MRI rather than x-rays, eliminating the dangers associated with x-rays.
"We believe this is the key technology to introduce MRI-guided vena cava filter placement into clinical routine," said Dr. Michael Friebe, CEO of Biophan-Europe.
"Researchers have long been interested in developing the field of Interventional MRI, but have been unable to make substantial headway. We are now in a position to start exploiting the potential for MRI to enable many helpful interventional and therapeutic procedures," added Prof. Andreas Melzer, chief researcher at the German subsidiary.
The Company will perform its testing in the next clinical trial phase on farm pigs, a standard animal model for experimentation. The Company's researchers intend to perform long-term, or chronic studies, expected to last from 28 to 90 days. The research program is being conducted in cooperation with the University of Essen, Germany (department of cardiology) and the University of Aachen, Germany (department of radiology).
