PracticeXpert, Inc. today announced its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Net revenue was $4,598,432 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to net revenue of $3,754,149 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Revenues in the 2005 period were greater primarily as a result of new business, the acquisition of PracticeOne in January, 2005, and as a result of an agreement to manage a cancer treatment center in Yakima, Washington (the “Yakima facility”).


Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $7,770,494 compared to $4,801,947 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Operating expenses increased due to servicing new businesses, the added costs from the operations of recently acquired businesses and the Yakima facility, costs associated with the amortization of acquired client lists and software, and sales and marketing initiatives.


The company reported a net loss of $3,429,437, or a basic and fully diluted net loss per common share of $0.02, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a net loss of $1,023,073, or a basic and fully diluted net loss per common share of $0.01, for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The net loss for the current three month period includes expenses of $1,173,041 in depreciation, amortization and the write-down in value of intangible assets to estimated realizable value, primarily related to acquired client lists and acquired software.


Net revenue was $15,306,107 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to net revenue of $7,375,558 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Revenues in the 2005 period were greater primarily as a result of new business, the acquisition of PracticeOne in January, 2005, and the management services agreement for the Yakima facility.


Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $20,702,404 compared to $9,399,580 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Operating expenses increased due to servicing new businesses, the added costs from the operations of recently acquired businesses and the Yakima facility, costs associated with the amortization of acquired client lists and software, and sales and marketing initiatives.


The company reported a net loss of $2,438,012, or a basic and fully diluted loss per common share of $0.02, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a net loss of $2,361,191, or a basic and fully diluted net loss per common share of $0.03, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.


The net loss for the current nine month period includes expenses of $3,032,806 in depreciation, amortization and the write-down in value of intangible assets to estimated realizable value, primarily related to acquired client lists and acquired software. In addition, the operating expenses include $796,000 of operating expenses of PracticeOne, which were reimbursed to the company and have been recorded as a reduction in goodwill in the acquisition of PracticeOne. The company recorded a one-time gain of $3,300,000 on the conversion of a promissory note.


The Company reported that due to continuing losses it is in the process of reducing operating expenses, consolidating operations and facilities, terminating unprofitable service contracts and implementing other cost saving measures. It is also deploying its own practice management software throughout its facilities, which will allow for the replacement of more expensive software from outside providers. As part of these measures, the company has terminated the contract to manage the Yakima facility, a contract which has proven to be unprofitable, effective November 23, 2005.


Jonathan Doctor, President and CEO of PracticeXpert, Inc. said, “I urge all of our shareholders to study in detail our Form 10-QSB for the period ended September 30, 2005, as filed with Securities and Exchange Commission, because it includes more detailed information than is included in this press release.
