Monitor this Company

CINCINNATI, Aug. 26 /-/ -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRM), a leading provider of integrated document workflow and management solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2008 ended July 31, 2008.


    Highlights for the quarter included:

    -- Revenues increased 51% versus comparable quarter in fiscal 2007;

    -- 4 new clients announced during the quarter;

    -- First international client signed;

    -- First public health department client signed;

    -- Two new workflow solutions - Financial Screening and Cash Management

     completed;

    -- Backlog increases 16% to $17.7 million from $15.3 million in Q1 2008.

    For the second quarter revenues increased by 51% to $4.8 million compared with $3.2 million reported in the comparable quarter last year. The Company reduced its net loss to $0.4 million, or ($0.05) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter, compared with a net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.12) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

    During the second quarter Streamline Health announced four significant new contracts with combined future revenues in excess of $5 million. Three of these new clients, Catholic Healthcare West, Marion General Hospital and the Columbus Public Health Vital Statistics Office are application-hosting services agreements that are expected to start contributing monthly revenues late in fiscal year 2008 or early in fiscal 2009. The fourth new client is the Company's first international installation in Canada through its partner Emergis Inc., a TELUS company, at the McGill University Health Center and the Centre hospitalier de l'Universite de Montreal. Backlog at the end of the quarter totaled $17.7 million compared to $15.3 million at April 30, 2008; a 16% increase. The related products and services included in the backlog are expected to be delivered over the next 12 to 36 months.

    For the six-month period revenues increased by 21% to $8.4 million compared with $7.0 million reported in the comparable six months of last year. The Company reduced its net loss for the first six months to $1.2 million, or ($0.13) per basic and diluted common share, compared with a net loss of $1.5 million, or ($0.16) per basic and diluted common share in the first six months of last year.

    Brian Patsy, president and chief executive officer of Streamline Health, commented, "We are pleased with the results of the quarter. The strong revenue increases coupled with the significant improvement in our bottom-line results are in line with management's expectations. The addition of four new clients, two through our partners and two direct by our sales force, indicate we are achieving significant traction with our sales and marketing initiatives so far this year. In addition, we are beginning to develop the type of distribution channel that will drive consistent sales growth in the coming months and years. In that regard, as we previously announced, Scott Boyden joined Streamline Health in late June as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing with the responsibility of managing and directing all of our sales and marketing activities. We believe that under his leadership our distribution partners, as well as our in-house sales team, will become even more effective in penetrating the large and growing markets that our solutions can address."

    "We made significant progress," Mr. Patsy continued, "on advancing two important strategic goals during the quarter: 1) to expand our operations internationally, and 2) to expand our market reach outside provider organizations to the public health sector that have a need to manage and process documents that are fragmented across multiple locations. Our contract with McGill University Health Center and the Centre hospitalier de l'Universite de Montreal, through our distribution partner, Emergis, opens the door for future business in Canada, Europe, and Asia for our multi-language document workflow solutions. Likewise, our contract with the Columbus (Ohio) Public Health Vital Statistics Office represents the first order in a large market segment that includes virtually all state, local and municipal governments throughout the U.S. We believe there are great opportunities ahead in both of these large markets."

    Mr. Patsy concluded, "We continue to invest in our new architecture platform to enhance the capabilities of our solutions, provide multi-language support and significantly reduce time-to-market for new workflow solutions. During the quarter we completed the first two of a series of new workflow solutions - Financial Screening and Cash Management Workflows. We continue to develop and upgrade the multi-language, version of our flagship product 'accessANYware(TM)' to provide greater functionality. We anticipate the delivery of additional workflows in the second half of the year. We are dedicated to maintaining a strong research and development effort as we expect to expand our product offerings to address the needs of other market segments, both domestically and internationally. We believe this new architecture will set the stage for improved operating and financial performance going forward."
