**********

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2009 was $5,343,000, an increase of $1,189,000 or 29%, over first quarter 2008 gross profit of $4,154,000. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to 36% in the first quarter of 2009 from 35% in the first quarter of 2008. This was down one point compared to the three most recent quarters due to the impact of the DeVenture acquisition on the company's gross profit margins. Approximately 62% of the Company's total revenue was processed on our BeyondTXT platform in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 64% in the first quarter of 2008. Most of this reduction relates to the addition of DeVenture in 2009. Approximately 53% of our BeyondTXT volume was edited using speech recognition technology in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 38% in the first quarter of 2008. The Company's goal is to increase this percentage to at least 60% over the next twelve months. The percentage of the Company's total volume processed offshore was 19% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 16% in the first quarter of 2008.

Whenever we acquire a company, our top priority will always be to keep all of the customers, stated Sue McGrogan, Chief Operating Officer. It is typical to see lower gross profit margins initially from companies we acquire. As we integrate the newly acquired business, we have three primary strategies to help improve the gross profit margins of acquired businesses: migrating as much of the business as possible from older platforms to BeyondTXT to take advantage of the increased productivity inherent in our speech-recognition enabled platform, considering the use of offshore resources, especially for night and weekend coverage, and implementing our operating model to streamline the operation. These three strategies are really no different than what we do every day in our existing business. I want to thank our employees, including our new team from DeVenture, for the hard work necessary to integrate DeVenture quickly and the extra effort made to reach out to DeVenture's customers and employees to begin forming strong long-term relationships with Transcend. I'm also pleased with the progress we have made with the integration of TRS in April. Our customer retention remains high, with only one customer leaving Transcend in the first quarter due to a corporate decision unrelated to our service at the local customer level.

at which point we will have to sign all that HIPAA confidentiality stuff and probably noncompete agreements with Transcend too.  While the 2009 MDI contract says they have to pay us a certain line rate for 12 months (and this would be binding on Transcend as well)  I bet what we signed says we cannot compete for at least  couple of years (and this would be binding on us as it pertains to what would now be Transcend accounts.)  Don't have time to hunt up and read my contract right now but I would be very surprised if the noncompete agreement expired at the end of 2009.  Way to easy to walk off with accounts that way. 

Does anyone have any experience with them?  What was it?

MT gets first check for $10. 

Has anyone worked for SuperScript out of Michigan?  I took a job with them under the understanding that I would have my pay bumped up once my errors were down to a minimum; however, I have been working for a little while now with very few blanks and very few to no errors and still no raise in pay.  I've asked about when I might get the higher pay and no straight answer is given.  Anyone else had this happen?  

I work for them now also, but just got cut due to account's technical issues or something.  Just wondering if you had heard anything specific.  I am really disappointed as I really, really, really like the work and would like to stay with the company.  Thanks.........

They are out of Michigan and can't find anything too recent on them. You can also e-mail me.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any current information on Superscript Transcription in Michigan?  Everything I have found has been quite old. Thanks.

1600 is not a fair minimum requirement.  Sure you can achieve 1600, it shouldn't be the required minimum.

if there seven words on a line.

or two

one

or a full line of typing...all of the companies that I have worked for define a gross line as 1 inch margins, 12 pt courier font....does not matter what we type in margins or font.....we convert all reports to the 1 inch margins and courier 12 font and then count the lines.  not the blank spaces between the lines.

Hope this helps.
