Southern Home Medical Announces Record Revenues and Profits for the Second Quarter

   Southern Home Medical Equipment, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SHOM), a holding company providing healthcare services, staffing and durable medical equipment to medical institutions, announced today its record financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were a record $315,308, an increase of 69% compared to revenues of $186,291 reported in the year-ago quarter. Net income was a record $68,927 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $9,448 in the second quarter of 2010. Common shares outstanding were 221,740,396 and 130,490,396, for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

"Our second quarter financial results are the culmination of consecutive month-to-month record revenue growth and profitability. During the second quarter, we expanded our existing Encore franchises and reported increases in oxygen sales within our Apnea Rx division. Furthermore, by introducing cross-marketing programs like Respi-Care, we've been able to serve a much broader patient population, while keeping our costs down. A greater portion of our revenues are dropping to the bottom-line," said President and CEO of Southern Home Medical, Jeff Sarvis.

During the second quarter, SHOM announced its intent to merge with a network of medical clinics based in the Washington, DC area. The Company projects revenues of $7 million for the combined entity in its first year of operations. Sarvis commented, "We are now working with a relentless focus on growing our existing operations, while attending to our merger due diligence and audit with Scott & Company. The latter is preparing us to become a fully reporting company. While the process is very time consuming for our managers and staff, we appreciate our shareholders' patience and believe the best is yet to come for our Company. We are excited to communicate our progress going forward and expect a record second half of 2011."
