Healthcare related revenues grew approximately 45% when compared to the third quarter of 2020.
We reported a net income for the quarter of approximately $263,000 or 10% of total revenues.

We finished the third quarter with approximately $4.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to the approximately $2.6 million at the end of 2020.
