Transax International Limited TNSX , a network solutions company for healthcare providers and health insurance companies, today reported record financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
For the year ending December 31, 2005, Transax generated net revenues of $3,380,150 compared to $1,199,900 in net revenues during fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The significant increase in revenues of 182% is due to the widespread success of the Company's network solutions and the continued rollout of new software contracts. The increase in revenue was reflected by a substantial increase in "real-time" transactions, to 6.5 million in 2005, a 132% increase from 2.8 million in 2004.
Loss from operations in 2005 was $163,384 compared with $1,126,163 during 2004. Net loss in 2005 was $714,722, or ($0.02) per share, compared with a net loss in 2004 of $1,792,255, or ($0.10) a share.
For the year ending December 31, 2005, the Company incurred $3,543,534 in operating expenses compared to $2,326,063 in operating expenses during fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was a result of higher product costs to support the Company's rollout of new service contracts. Detailed financial statements are presented in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Stephen Walters, President & CEO of Transax stated, "During the year we made significant strides in our business strategy. We executed on every level -- increasing revenues dramatically while slashing our operating loss to near break-even levels. As of year end, we have installed 5,350 solutions, up from 3,500 at the end of 2004 -- representing an increase of more than 52%. In addition, we have benefited more recently from higher transaction fees; this increase will also be reflected with the rollout of recently announced projects throughout 2006." Mr. Walters continued, "We begin 2006 with strong momentum throughout Brazil, and are beginning to respond to inquiries in additional markets, including the U.S."
