Roberta Lipson, Chindex CEO commented on the results for the quarter: "Our continuing bottom line profitability on a consolidated basis this quarter was highlighted by the increases in the profitability of our Healthcare Services division. This was fueled by continued growth in both the Beijing and Shanghai markets. Our development program for new United Family Healthcare facilities in Guangzhou and Beijing is gaining momentum. We will soon kickoff our market entry program in Guangzhou with a clinic operation which will precede our main hospital facility. Our Medical Products division reported a slight loss on the quarter due to lower than normal gross margins on some large multi-unit sales and discrete charges for inventory write-down and doubtful account reserves. The division remains profitable year-to-date however and we are on track to meet our objectives for this year in spite of continued challenges in the marketplace." About Chindex International, Inc.
