Global Med's record revenues of $16.418 million for the first half of 2009 represent an increase of $6.980 million or 74% over the $9.438 million recorded for the first half of 2008. In the first half of 2009, operating income improved to $1.678 million from $958 thousand during the first half of last year. The Company's net income for the first half of 2009 was $593 thousand, or $0.02 per basic common share outstanding, versus $512 thousand, or $0.02 per basic common share outstanding, for the first half of 2008.
Global Med's revenues of $8.059 million for the second quarter of 2009 represent an increase of $3.214 million or 66% over the $4.845 million recorded for the comparable 2008 period.
