In a comparison with the first quarter of 2009, sales increased 8%, the loss

"We are pleased, in the current economic environment, with the 6% growth in
sales. Our loss from operations in the second quarter decreased compared to
last year by 56%. This decrease in loss resulted from both the increase in
sales and a decrease in overall costs associated with actions the Company took
in April 2009, as it focused on moving towards profitability over the next
several quarters. This resulted in significant improvements in both May and
June of the quarter. New customer implementations and increased business from
the more than 70 direct payer customers and 35 clearinghouse business
relationships are adding to the top line sales. Our expectation is that over
the next two quarters we will see continued benefits of these efforts in
operating profitability and cash flow," commented Don Crosbie, Chief Executive
Officer of Claimsnet. "Also, the Company reached a milestone in the second
quarter with more than a million transactions processed in each month. This
was the first time that this volume level has been reached in a quarter."
