Network Six, Inc. of Warwick, Rhode Island reported revenues for the first
quarter which ended March 31, 1998 of $2,221,618 and net income of $140,465, or
$.08 per diluted share. Compared to the same period a year ago, revenues were up
$807,433, or 57%, while net income increased $272,652 from a loss of $132,187 a
year ago.
Kenneth C. Kirsch, President and CEO commented, "Our first quarter results were
well within our targets and represent the fourth consecutive quarter that we
have been profitable. As previously reported, we were recently awarded a $2.8
million contract extension from the State of Rhode Island, Department of Human
Services. The State of Maine, Department of Human Services, signed a three-month
support contract with us for the child welfare system known as MACWIS that we
recently developed and implemented."
"During the quarter," Kirsch continued, "we expanded our efforts with MIM
Corporation, a pharmaceuticals benefits management company, to include the
development of additional information systems. We also commenced work with
Johnson and Wales University, a major private university based in Providence
with an international reputation in business, hospitality and culinary arts, on
a strategic information technology plan. This additional new business will be
included in our operating results as the year progresses."
