[ACCESSWIRE]
New Castle, DE - ScripsAmerica Inc. (OTCBB: SCRC), a leading supplier of prescription, OTC and nutraceutical drugs, today announced that the Company achieved record revenues for the month of January 2013.
ScripsAmerica recorded $904,275 in revenue for the past month, which marks the Company’s highest monthly revenue to date and a 116% increase over January 2012. The Company attributes its increase in revenue primarily to the government contract entered into by Marlex Pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical supplier and packager, which it has signed a letter of intent to acquire.
Marlex secured an 8-year, up to $79 million pharmaceutical distribution contract with the Office of Health Affairs, a branch of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in September of last year. The contract calls for a minimum purchase amount of $25 million over the next 3 years, which Marlex is on pace to meet or exceed based on production during the initial three months of its contract.
ScripsAmerica's Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey Andrews, stated, “ScripsAmerica is very pleased to announce record monthly revenues for January. Our growth in sales can be mainly attributed to Marlex’s government contract, which has gotten off to a very successful start. We are comfortable with our 2013 projections and could see a record year in revenue due not only to Marlex’s government contract but the anticipated launch of our RapiMed® children’s pain and fever reliever and other growth drivers.”
