Keith Berman, chief financial officer of InstaCare, commented, "This has been an exceptional quarter for InstaCare as our businesses grew profitable, on surging sales. We successfully remade our medical diagnostics and medical disposable products distribution businesses and generated almost three million dollars in sales during the first quarter which underscores the health of our business even in a slowing national economy. Now that our cost structure is in place, additional sales will be accompanied by only small incremental expenses and if current trends continue we expect further positive developments this year."
