"We continue to have surging quarterly revenue growth with our annuity-based revenue model." Said Dr. Jaime Gerber, CEO of PHM. "This is our fifth quarter of commercial operations and it is exciting to compare this quarter, our fiscal first quarter of 2012, to our fiscal first quarter of 2011 and see 530% growth in revenue over just 12 months. I also think it is a tremendous accomplishment to have operational profitability just 12 months after we started commercial operations. 2012 promises to be another year of hyper growth for PHM.
PHM announced last quarter that is was seeking to secure $1,200,000 in convertible debenture financing. The proceeds of the financing are being used to purchase meters. Because PHM generated better than expected profits in the fiscal first quarter, the company decided to end the offering early, issuing a total of only $783,000.00. PHM anticipates it can secure traditional equipment financing debt in the coming months to finance further meter purchased. Details of each closing can be found on www.sedar.com. In connection with PHM's final anticipated closing, PHM will have paid a total of $40,980 and issued 273,200 broker warrants with a $0.15 strike price expiring two years from the date of grant. All securities issued pursuant to the financing will be subject to a four-month hold period.
Complete financial results for the full fiscal year 2011 and the fiscal first quarter 2012 will be available January 31, 2012 through a press release and filings on Sedar.

About PHM
PHM is a healthcare services company focused on providing home-based monitoring services and supplies for cardiology patients. PHM's entry-point service monitors patients on blood thinner medications such as Coumadin(r) or warfarin. Medicare recently expanded reimbursement for this in-home service. PHM has a unique value proposition to cardiology groups that manage patients on blood thinners, focusing on systemization to enroll patients in PST. This unique, systemized approach creates an opportunity for physician groups to operate more efficiently, increasing revenue to their clinic while providing a higher standard of care for patients. PHM plans to lever its position as a value-added service provider to expand into other home-based services for these patients and their referring physicians.
