This new business is expected to contribute significant growth to the division in 2008 and, more importantly, serves to affirm the potential scalability of this service offering.

Rhian continued, “Third quarter 2007 also marked the completion of the initial media campaign for the Walgreens Ready Response™ national rollout. The program has begun to contribute meaningfully to our subscriber base. We also determined a need for greater emphasis on in-store awareness and signage placement, which is being addressed by Walgreen. AMAC and Walgreen Co. management are currently evaluating the scope and terms of the 2008 marketing campaign. Throughout the remainder of the 4th quarter, AMAC will continue to support select media placement based on the experience learned to date. We affirm our confidence in this business to consumer channel opportunity and believe this program has the potential to capture significant PERS subscriber market share in 2008.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) included in this press release, the Company has provided information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measure. This measure is “earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)”. Such information is reconciled to its closest GAAP measure in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and is included in the attached supplemental data.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company's financial performance as it is an indicator of the Company's ability to generate cash flow to make acquisitions, reinvest in new telehealth products and liquidate liabilities. Management also uses EBITDA for planning purposes to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and although management and some members of the investment community utilize it to measure financial performance, EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measure as presented by AMAC may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Forward Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q, and other filings and releases.
