mdhi moves towards profitability . from what I see here if this was not true it would not have been put into a audited 10k. jmo on the matter
During December of 2011, the Company announced the MediPendant® would be distributed by Costco Wholesale Corporation. Costco is one of the largest retailers in not only the United States, but throughout the world with approximately 60,000,000 customers. The Company's relationship with this retailer has been very strong and sales are occurring on a daily basis, customer return rates are low and customer satisfaction is high. This relationship with Costco is advantageous not only because of the retailer’s distribution reach, but also due to positive cash flow upon initial sale that is realized; a situation that is rarely achieved in the medical alarm space. Sales and shipments occur on a consistent basis. Early in the March 2013 quarter, the Company successfully completed a retail promotion with this large discount warehouse chain partner. An additional program began late in the March 2013 quarter and ran through April 21, 2013. During June of 2013, the MediPendant® product was featured in the retailer’s pharmacy-oriented sales magazine, which is being distributed in the pharmacy section in all store locations . The MediPendant® has now received 21 product reviews on the retailer's website, 17 of which are "5 out of 5 Star" ratings. The average rating is "4.5 Stars" out of 5 Stars.
The Company has also had successes internationally with new distribution agreements in Denmark and Ireland. Additionally, the Company is currently working on a distribution/joint venture with JTT-EMS, which is a company located just outside of Beijing, China. Medical Alarm Concepts is expecting steady growth from its international markets during 2013 and believes there are likely several other international contracts that will be consummated during the calendar year. The Company also distributes the MediPendant® through Internet marketing and through various outside call centers. Significant investment is planned to expand sales opportunities relative to these areas.
Medical Alarm Concepts has recently signed a supply and services contract with Coventry Health Care, Inc., which was recently acquired by Aetna Insurance (NYSE:ATA) a diversified and national company, which operates health plans, insurance companies, network rental and workers’ compensation services companies. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will become the provider of personal medical alarms for Coventry Health Care and its Medicare/Medicaid programs. As part of this new contract, Coventry Health Care, Inc. will offer the Company’s MediPendant® product and monthly monitoring services directly to subscribers of selected healthcare programs provided by Coventry. Additionally, the Company’s MediPendant® product has been included in several large Medicare and Medicaid related contracts on which Coventry Health Care, Inc. is bidding. The Company is expecting this contract to generate significant growth in revenue and earnings. As a result of gaining the contract, the Company plans to significantly expand its business operations in the areas of financial management, research and development, and logistics.
The Company recently received an investment led by strategic partner, JTT-EMS LTD of Shijiazhuang, China. Under the terms of the investment, JTT-EMS LTD purchased Common Stock in a private placement transaction and has indicated to the Company that it plans to hold these shares as a long-term investment. The financing , including additional investments by current shareholders, will total up to approximately $330,000. There are no warrants or options associated with this investment. As more fully noted below, funds received will primarily be used to rebuild inventory levels to meet the growing demand and to pay professional fees associated with returning the Company to fully reporting status.
Management has been very successful in negotiating with debt holders for the cancellation of very significant portions of our debt. Since the beginning of 2012, approximately $56,251 of convertible debt has been cancelled. Recently, the holder of our short-term credit line cancelled $236,397 of the outstanding balance. Additionally, since beginning of 2012, approximately 200,000,000 toxic and highly dilutive warrants were also cancelled. No shares, warrants or options were granted in exchange for these cancellations.
Because trade payables have been paid down very substantially over the past few quarters, we are expecting our balance sheet to be very strong, nearly long-term debt free and with very manageable trade payable levels .
We believe upcoming balance sheets, on which we expect to be free of nearly all long-term debt and free of warrants, options and minimal outstanding preferred stock, will more accurately reflect the true value of our growing company.
The Company expects calendar year 2013 to be one of continued growth in both monthly recurring revenues and distribution sales, which will allow the Company to realize sustainable positive operating cash flow. We believe the growth rate and the positive operating cash flow we are currently realizing is sustainable into 2014 and beyond
