Cash flow from operations for the quarter was a record $9.1 million.

Net income for the year was $25.6 million, and earnings per share (diluted) were $2.04, compared to $30.4 million or $2.38 per share reported for fiscal 2002. As previously announced, in connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $23.8 million (pre-tax) related to its urological products as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principal retroactive to April 1, 2002.

Income before cumulative effect of accounting change (excluding the goodwill impairment charge) was $40.2 million or $3.21 per share, diluted, compared to $30.4 million or $2.38 per share, diluted, in the prior year. Cash flow from operations for the year was $29.4 million. Commenting on the financial results, Lead Director and Interim CEO Samuel L. Shanaman said, "The fourth quarter's financial results once again demonstrated PolyMedica's ability to continue growing while delivering solid financial performance. I am particularly pleased by the growth in our non-Medicare initiative, Liberty Pharmacy, which produced over $20 million in net revenues in its first full year of operation and ended the year at an annual revenue run rate of over $30 million." 1 Shanaman continued, "Our continued strong performance is especially impressive coming in a year of transition for the Company. In the past year, in addition to growing Liberty's pharmacy business, our successes included the continued growth of our core diabetes and respiratory customer base and the expansion of the base of doctors with whom we work. We also opened extensive new facilities in Port St. Lucie, Florida and realigned our Liberty business units to take maximum advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead. Given our ability to build and retain a solid customer base and the potential for expanding and extending our current product offerings, I continue to remain very excited about the Company's future."
