MEDSTONE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

ALISO VIEJO, California, November 12, 2003 — Medstone International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MEDS) today reported revenues of $5,754,358 for the third quarter ending September 30, 2003, compared to $5,956,826 for the third quarter of the prior year. Net loss for the third quarter of 2003 was $106,153 or $.03 per share. The comparable quarter of the prior year the Company reported net income of $227,081 or $.06 per diluted share.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, revenues were $16,089,017 and net loss was $289,998 or $.08 per diluted share. This compares to revenues of $ 18,303,685, and net income was $475,564 or $.12 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

 

“The bottom line loss for the third quarter resulted from greater than normal expenditures on research and development, administrative expenses, and the operating loss by Arcoma. Medstone has continued the development of two major product lines – the UroPro Vista and the Multi-Rad. Both of these products have a great potential in the years to come. Administrative costs increased as a result of expenditures for evaluating the strategic merger with Prime Medical Services, Inc.,” stated David V. Radlinski, Chairman and CEO.

 

“Arcoma, a developer and manufacturer of medical equipment based in Sweden, experienced a loss for the third quarter. Medstone’s share of that loss was approximately $64,000. Arcoma, like many companies in Europe closes for the month of August. With the plant closed in August, Arcoma’s shipments were down. Year-to-date, Arcoma has been profitable,” concluded Mr. Radlinski.

 

Medstone’s balance sheet continued its strong position. At September 30, 2003, Medstone cash position was approximately $7.2 million and carried no long term debt.
