Continental's earnings drop

GLENDALE, Calif. - Following quarter after quarter of positive financial results and good news, Continental Home Healthcare has hit a bump in the road. For the second quarter, Continental's revenue dropp-ed, from $5.3 million a year ago to $5 million this year. The company suffered a net loss of $945,000 in the second quarter compared to a gain of $176,000 last year. For the six months ending June 30, Continental recorded a net loss of $960,000 compared to a gain of $350,000 last year. The company attributed the second loss partially to a one-time charge associated with the closing of its Canadian operations and consolidation of two Las Vegas outlets. Also a factor: cash flow constraints that resulted in lower inventory levels and therefore lower than typical rentals and sales. The company closed on $4 million in additional finance May 23 and resumed regular product shipping. As a result, continental expects to realize in the third quarter revenues it would have book in the second quarter. The company is also continuing its cost reduction plans," said CEO Robert Thornton.
