Prism Medical Ltd. (PM:TSX-VEN) Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

Prism Medical Ltd. ("Prism" or "the Company") (PM:TSX-VEN) today announced its results for the second quarter ended May 31, 2009.

Net income for the second quarter of 2009 increased to $1.271 million ($0.18 per share on a diluted basis) versus $1.010 million ($0.15 per share on a diluted basis) for the same period in 2008.

During the second quarter of 2009, revenues were $17.3 million compared to $12.6 million in 2008, an increase of 37%, driven by an increase in sales within the United States. The Company continues to focus its efforts on the US marketplace by increasing the number of sales representatives. In the UK, sales increased 12% after incorporating the impact of a decline in the British Pound Sterling (GBP) relative to the Canadian dollar.

In the second quarter of 2009, gross profit increased $1,963 (35%) over the same period in 2008 driven by the sales increase and higher percentage of sales made by the Company owned network of dealers and direct sales staff.

Earnings per share on a diluted basis for the three months ended May 31, 2009 of $0.18 per share represents an increase of 20% over the same period last year.

Andrew McIntyre, Chairman and CEO of Prism stated "the second quarter of 2009 was positive for the Company as we saw continued institutional demand for our products, improved manufacturing efficiencies and greater geographic coverage in the current economic climate. Further improvements in US sales representation and dealer market share should result in future profitable growth."
