Network Six, Inc. of Warwick, Rhode Island reported revenues for the third
quarter, which ended September 30, 1998 of $2,662,603 and net income of
$298,136, or $0.28 per diluted share. Compared to the same period a year ago,
revenues were down $909,710, or 25%, while net income increased $181,446, or
155%, from net income of $116,690 a year ago.
Kenneth C. Kirsch, President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased with this
quarter's results, particularly the increase in our net income. Our nine month
numbers, moreover show a 229% increase in net income compared to the same period
a year ago. Projects that are substantially completed, such as the Maine
Automated Child Welfare Information System, the Rhode Island Immunization
tracking system and the Idaho Child Support Enforcement projects are being
replaced with higher margin projects. New projects include the Rhode Island
Department of Human Services welfare reform project, the expansion of the MIM
Corporation project and additional business for the Network Services Division."
Mr. Kirsch added, "We continue to pursue our marketing strategy of expanding our
efforts with state health and human service agencies and increasing our role in
other areas of government, higher education and the private sector. Our Network
Services Division, although a small part of current business, has been growing
according to plan and we expect continued growth."
Dorothy M. Cipolla, CFO commented, "Our gross margins and net income after tax
ratios are finally returning to our early 1994 levels. This is a rate that we
feel is more normal for our business. We are financing the Company on current
cash flows and the recent $500,000 five year term loan helps us strengthen our
marketing efforts."
