“Our second quarter was the ninth consecutive quarter of profitability combined with double digit growth in our healthcare related revenues,” said David Houston, Chief Financial Officer of LiveWorld. “Our focus on running the business profitably while expanding our efforts in the healthcare sector are paying off in 2022. We expect to see continued profitability for the rest of the fiscal year, even as we invest in our sales and marketing to grow our revenues.”
“We are in a very solid financial position with a history of proven profitability, our improved cash and current asset position, and doing it without incurring any debt. Given our ability to generate cash from operations and our profits we do not see a need to use any debt in the future,” said David Houston. “Given the current economic climate our client relationships are stable as we have increased current client revenues by providing new and additional services to our client base.”
