LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Banyan Corporation (OTCBB:BANY - News), franchisors of nationally branded Chiropractic USA clinics, and owner of Premier Medical Group and Virtual Medical Systems, Inc. (VMS), announced the Acquisition of the customer base of Medical Resources, Inc. of Virginia.

"While this is our 4th acquisition for Premier, the potential for continued acquisitions is great as we seek to consolidate the electro diagnostic industry".
"Revenues from Banyan's core businesses are expected to grow to an estimated $7.4 million on an annualized basis, turning the corner to profitability," said Gelmon.
Banyan agreed to pay Medical Resources 30% of the gross collections from its former accounts until the purchase price of $440,000 has been paid in full.
