Press Releases

CONCORD, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/11/09 -- Futuremed Healthcare Income Fund (TSX: FMD.UN) ("Futuremed" or the "Fund") announced today strong financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Q3 HIGHLIGHTS:

- Sales rise 9.0% on strong organic growth

- Solid growth in recurring, non-discretionary nursing supplies revenues

- One-time investments in supply chain infrastructure continue

- Normalized payout ratio improves to 73%

- Credit facility unutilized in quarter

Sales in the third quarter of 2009 increased to $51.5 million compared to $47.2 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to organic growth in nursing supplies revenues. For the first nine months of 2009, sales increased to $147.9 million compared to $101.6 million in the prior year. The increase is due primarily to the contribution in sales from Dismed in the period, which was acquired on June 30, 2008, as well as solid increases across most of the Fund's revenue streams.

Sales of the Fund's consumable nursing supplies increased 15.2% in the third quarter of 2009 and 51.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same periods last year. The increase for the third quarter was primarily driven by strong organic growth as well as increases in other nursing supplies revenue stemming from the H1N1 virus amounting to $1.8 million in the quarter. During the third quarter of 2009 the World Health Organization declared the H1N1 virus to be a Pandemic Risk, and buying as a result of that declaration resulted in additional revenues during the quarter. The increases in nursing supplies revenues through the first nine months of the year were driven primarily by the contribution in sales from Dismed, as well as strong increases in sales of incontinence products and other nursing supplies in the Fund's other markets. Consumable nursing supplies represented approximately 91% and 89% of the Fund's total sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively.

Sales of the Company's furniture and equipment decreased to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $6.5 million in last year's third quarter. The decrease was due primarily to a $1.4 million infrastructure project in Saskatchewan recorded in last year's third quarter, as well as a lack of general infrastructure spending during the current year's quarter. Furniture and equipment sales through the first nine months of 2009 increased 10.7% to $15.5 million compared to the same period last year due primarily to the contribution in furniture and equipment sales from Dismed in the period, partially offset by a decrease in furniture and equipment sales in provinces other than Quebec due to a lack of replacement spending during the period.

"Our results through the first nine months of the year reflect the fact that our business is very resilient in tough economic times," commented Raymond Stone, President and CEO, "While last year's acquisition of Dismed has made a significant contribution to our results this year, we are pleased to see continued strong organic growth in the majority of our markets and product lines."

For the third quarter of 2009, gross profit increased 5.5% compared to the prior year period due primarily to the sales growth and an increase in sales of higher margin products in the quarter compared to the prior year. For the first nine months of 2009, gross profit increased 30.8% over the same period in 2008 due primarily to the margin contribution from Dismed. The impact on gross profit margins of increases in input costs as a result of the higher US dollar exchange rate, higher freight charges on incoming goods, and lower subsidies on goods manufactured in the Orient had less of a negative effect on gross margin during the period, and management believes these inflationary pressures have stabilized, and in some instances, reversed due to current global economic conditions.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 0.5% compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2009, SG&A expenses increased 33.6% due primarily to the addition of Dismed and increased infrastructure costs resulting from higher levels of business activity in the current year. Delivery costs have stabilized as a result of lower fuel prices and delivery surcharges, and represented 3.5% of total revenues in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to 3.9 % and 4.1%, respectively, in the prior year periods. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A costs reduced to 12.7% in the third quarter of 2009 from 13.8% last year and 13.3% for the first nine months of 2009 from 14.4% for the first nine months of 2008.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 the Fund generated distributable cash of $4.0 million or $0.26 per Unit compared to $4.2 million or $0.28 per Unit in the third quarter of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, the Fund generated $10.7 million or $0.70 per Unit of distributable cash compared to $10.1 million or $0.72 per Unit for the same nine month period in the prior year. Capital expenditures amounted to approximately $179,000 in the third quarter and $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $89,000 and $306,000 respectively last year. The increases in 2009 relate primarily to investments aimed at aligning and improving the Fund's supply chain infrastructure in all of its facilities across Canada. The project is expected to be completed within two years and involve approximately $1.5 million in excess of normal capital expenditures over this period. Excluding the impact of these one-time capital investments, as well as non-cash changes in the fair value of financial instruments included in working capital, normalized distributable cash flow would have been $4.8 million in the third quarter, and $12.5 million for the first nine months of 2009.

The payout ratio for the third quarter of 2009 was 88% compared to 84% last year. For the first nine months of 2009 the payout ratio was 99% compared to 96% in the prior year. Not including the short-term investments in supply chain improvements in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, as well as non-cash changes in the fair value of financial instruments included in working capital, the normalized payout ratio would have been 73% and 84%, respectively. The calculations of normalized distributable cash and payout ratio are included in the table below.

Since its inception, the Fund has not been subject to income tax to the extent that its taxable income is distributed to unitholders. As a result of legislation proposed by the Minister of Finance (Canada) on October 31, 2006 and substantively enacted on June 12, 2008, the Fund will pay tax on distributions declared subsequent to January 1, 2011, subject to normal growth restrictions in the legislation, which if not adhered to could subject the Fund to tax before 2011. It is management's expectation that, unless there is a compelling reason to the contrary, Futuremed will remain an income fund until the end of 2010 so as to benefit from the tax advantageous nature of the trust structure for as long as possible. Management and the Board will continue to examine various alternatives available to deal with the changing environment in the coming months.

Working capital was $19.4 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $18.6 million at September 30, 2008 and $19.6 million at December 31, 2008. The Fund did not utilize its operating credit facility through the third quarter of 2009. As at June 30, 2009 the Fund was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants on its credit facilities.

CONCORD, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 11, 2009) - Futuremed Healthcare Income Fund (TSX: FMD.UN) ("Futuremed" or the "Fund") announced today strong financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Q3 HIGHLIGHTS:

- Sales rise 9.0% on strong organic growth

- Solid growth in recurring, non-discretionary nursing supplies revenues

- One-time investments in supply chain infrastructure continue

- Normalized payout ratio improves to 73%

- Credit facility unutilized in quarter

Sales in the third quarter of 2009 increased to $51.5 million compared to $47.2 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to organic growth in nursing supplies revenues. For the first nine months of 2009, sales increased to $147.9 million compared to $101.6 million in the prior year. The increase is due primarily to the contribution in sales from Dismed in the period, which was acquired on June 30, 2008, as well as solid increases across most of the Fund's revenue streams.

Sales of the Fund's consumable nursing supplies increased 15.2% in the third quarter of 2009 and 51.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same periods last year. The increase for the third quarter was primarily driven by strong organic growth as well as increases in other nursing supplies revenue stemming from the H1N1 virus amounting to $1.8 million in the quarter.

Consumable nursing supplies represented approximately 91% and 89% of the Fund's total sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively.

Sales of the Company's furniture and equipment decreased to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $6.5 million in last year's third quarter. The decrease was due primarily to a $1.4 million infrastructure project in Saskatchewan recorded in last year's third quarter, as well as a lack of general infrastructure spending during the current year's quarter. Furniture and equipment sales through the first nine months of 2009 increased 10.7% to $15.5 million compared to the same period last year due primarily to the contribution in furniture and equipment sales from Dismed in the period, partially offset by a decrease in furniture and equipment sales in provinces other than Quebec due to a lack of replacement spending during the period.

"Our results through the first nine months of the year reflect the fact that our business is very resilient in tough economic times," commented Raymond Stone, President and CEO, "While last year's acquisition of Dismed has made a significant contribution to our results this year, we are pleased to see continued strong organic growth in the majority of our markets and product lines."

For the third quarter of 2009, gross profit increased 5.5% compared to the prior year period due primarily to the sales growth and an increase in sales of higher margin products in the quarter compared to the prior year. For the first nine months of 2009, gross profit increased 30.8% over the same period in 2008 due primarily to the margin contribution from Dismed. The impact on gross profit margins of increases in input costs as a result of the higher US dollar exchange rate, higher freight charges on incoming goods, and lower subsidies on goods manufactured in the Orient had less of a negative effect on gross margin during the period, and management believes these inflationary pressures have stabilized, and in some instances, reversed due to current global economic conditions.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 0.5% compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2009, SG&A expenses increased 33.6% due primarily to the addition of Dismed and increased infrastructure costs resulting from higher levels of business activity in the current year. Delivery costs have stabilized as a result of lower fuel prices and delivery surcharges, and represented 3.5% of total revenues in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to 3.9 % and 4.1%, respectively, in the prior year periods. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A costs reduced to 12.7% in the third quarter of 2009 from 13.8% last year and 13.3% for the first nine months of 2009 from 14.4% for the first nine months of 2008.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 the Fund generated distributable cash of $4.0 million or $0.26 per Unit compared to $4.2 million or $0.28 per Unit in the third quarter of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, the Fund generated $10.7 million or $0.70 per Unit of distributable cash compared to $10.1 million or $0.72 per Unit for the same nine month period in the prior year. Capital expenditures amounted to approximately $179,000 in the third quarter and $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $89,000 and $306,000 respectively last year. The increases in 2009 relate primarily to investments aimed at aligning and improving the Fund's supply chain infrastructure in all of its facilities across Canada. The project is expected to be completed within two years and involve approximately $1.5 million in excess of normal capital expenditures over this period.

The payout ratio for the third quarter of 2009 was 88% compared to 84% last year. For the first nine months of 2009 the payout ratio was 99% compared to 96% in the prior year. Not including the short-term investments in supply chain improvements in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, as well as non-cash changes in the fair value of financial instruments included in working capital, the normalized payout ratio would have been 73% and 84%, respectively.

Magical Exhibit Features More Than a Mountain of Toy Trains

YORBA LINDA, Calif., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A playful special exhibit at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum will take visitors on a magical journey through the world of miniature trains when it rolls into town November 16 through January 10.

One of the largest such collections ever assembled, A Holiday Festival of Trains features a breathtaking landscape of toy trains, many whistling through tiny snow-covered turn of the century villages, a 1890 Bavarian castle, and forested mountain passes with over 5,000 miniature trees.

Additional highlights include:

    --  A "Mountain of Trains" featuring a multi-tiered platform 13' tall by 40'
        long by 32' wide running more than 16 trains on 1,500 feet of track.
    --  A sensational LEGO train display featuring a 20 ft long bridge and
        LEGO's famous Emerald Nigh Train, built by the LEGO Club of Southern
        California.
    --  Thrill to the "Chloe," a full-size sugar plantation engine formerly
        owned by Academy Award winning Disney animator, Ward Kimball.
    --  An exciting interactive 8x8 ft train display where youngsters can play
        conductor, stopping and starting trains, plus operating the crossing
        gate and warning signals.
    --  Rare combination of five gauges together in one exhibition, including:
        G, Standard, O, On30 and Ho.
    --  Colorful pre-WW II tinplate accessories by Lionel, American Flyer, Ives
        and Marklin.
    --  Locomotive, tender, and cars from the early 1930s.
    --  Modern classics including Polar Express and Thomas the Tank Engine.
    --  Photos of Walt Disney & Ward Kimball at their famous visit to the 1948
        Chicago Rail Fair.
    --  Original pieces of the Blue and Red Monorail train enjoyed at Disneyland
        in the '50's, plus photos of the 1959 Monorail grand opening and ribbon
        cutting by Walt Disney and Vice President Nixon.
    --  A warm and scenic Santa Claus Village featuring miniatures from Dept.
        56.

    --  Volunteers for the Train Collectors Association will be available on
        weekends to discuss the history of the various trains.

The exhibit was created through the pooled efforts and resources of the Western Division of the Train Collectors Association, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, and the Nixon Foundation.

The exhibit reflects months of work from local volunteers of the Western Division of the Train Collectors Association, the leading national organization of train enthusiasts whose 30,000 members worldwide are dedicated to the collecting, preservation, and running of toy trains.

Led by Western Division Project Coordinator Robert Lemberger and President Wayne Sheriff, local TCA volunteers are on-site assembling the tiny tracks, trestles, and holiday villages with many TCA volunteers logging 12-hour days around the multi-tiered platform with its 144-feet perimeter. Lemberger says the exhibit has been a labor of love for the TCA members.

The idea of a train exhibit reflects Richard Nixon's love of trains beginning in his childhood in Yorba Linda. He recalled in his Memoirs one of the earliest memories from his Yorba Linda boyhood: "In the daytime I could see the smoke from the steam engines. Sometimes at night I was awakened by the whistle of a train, and then I dreamed of the far-off places I wanted to visit someday."

A Holiday Festival of Trains will be on display from Monday, November 16, 2009 through Sunday, January 10, 2010, and is included with museum admission. The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is located at 18001 Yorba Linda Boulevard, Yorba Linda, California 92886. The Library is open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $9.95 adults, $3.75 children 7 to 11, free for children 6 and younger; $6.95 for seniors 62 and up, and students; $5.95 for active military. Group tour discounts are available, contact Mindy Farmer at (714) 983-9138 or mindy.farmer@nara.gov.
