MEDIA RELEASEHealth Management International Ltd Delivers 30% Revenue Growth to RM 85.6 million in 1H2011Highlights:

? Group revenue for the first half of 2011 rose 30% to RM85.6 million

? Group?s net profit of RM1.0 million driven by strong demand for healthcare services

? Group?s presentation currency changed from Singapore dollar to Malaysian Ringgit

Singapore, 11 February 2011 ? Health Management International Ltd (?HMI? or ?the Group?), a regional healthcare services and education provider, today reported a 30% increase in revenue to RM85.6 million for the 6 months ended 31 December 2010 (?1H2011?), as compared to RM66.1 million in 1H2010. The Group?s net profit was RM1.0 million for H1 2011, from RM0.9 million for the preceding period.

Revenue from the Group?s Healthcare Division grew by 33% primarily due to higher patient load in both hospitals namely, Mahkota Medical Centre Sdn Bhd (?Mahkota?) in Malacca and Regency Specialist Hospital Sdn Bhd (?Regency?) in Johor. For 1H2011, Mahkota?s registered strong revenue growth of 28%, contributing RM74 million from RM58 million in the preceding period. Significantly, during this period under review, the Group?s new Regency also registered a healthy growth of 114%, contributing RM8.3 million from RM3.9 million for the preceding period. Regency has continued to narrow its operating losses by recording higher patient load and stronger demand for its healthcare services, which bodes well for sustained growth in the near term.

In 1H2011, the Group?s Education Division registered a lower turnover of RM1.1 million, mainly due to lower student enrollment for the Government funded Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience (?SPUR?) as the economy rebounded. Going forward, the Group expects to diversify its healthcare education programmes to include higher value-add healthcare programmes to cater to the wider market.

With effect from 1 July 2010, the Group has changed its presentation currency from Singapore dollar to Malaysian Ringgit. With more than 95% of the Group?s turnover being derived from Malaysia and denominated in Malaysian Ringgit, the Group?s management is of the view that it is more appropriate for the Group to adopt the Malaysian Ringgit as the presentation currency. This change will facilitate a better representation of the Group?s operation since the results will not be subjected to fluctuations arising from changes in exchange rates between the Malaysian Ringgit and the Singapore dollar. In accordance with financial reporting standards, comparative figures are also stated in Malaysian Ringgit.

Operations Review

Healthcare Division

Revenue from the Group?s Healthcare Division grew by 33% to RM82.5 million in 1H2011 compared to RM61.8 million in the previous corresponding period. The Group?s Healthcare Division remains its largest revenue driver, and accounted for 96% of total revenue in 1H2011.

For 1H2011, Mahkota Medical Centre continued to record higher patient loads due to rising demand for quality healthcare in the region. Having established itself as the largest private hospital in Southern Malaysia, Mahkota focused on streamlining its internal and quality assurance practices, upgrading its clinical services and facilities and improving customer service to better serve its patients. Specifically, Mahkota enhanced its clinical support services by recruiting additional medical specialists to meet patients? needs. Going forward, Mahkota will continue to develop new clinical facilities and medical services available for its patients, through the expansion of new and existing services such as aesthetics services, rehabilitation services and an enhanced Executive Health Screening Centre.

For 1H2011, Regency Specialist Hospital delivered a healthy 113% increase in patient revenue. For the period under review, Regency focused on expanding its healthcare services and facilities, improving its healthcare delivery systems, recruiting more medical specialists and intensifying marketing efforts in Johor and the region. Currently, renovations to operationalise the remaining wards are in progress. To grow its patient base, Regency implemented extensive marketing efforts to reach out to local market bases, as well as the Indonesian and Singapore markets. Locally, Regency has established partnerships with major local corporate and insurance companies to provide medical care for their employees. Regency has also set up a new representative office in Batam, Indonesia, to attract patients from the Riau islands.

Both Mahkota and Regency further stand to gain from the recent liberalization on the use of Medisave for hospitalizations and day surgeries outside of Singapore. Starting 1 March 2010, the Singapore Ministry of Health allowed Singapore residents to use their Medisave at the Group?s hospitals. In 2010, both hospitals recorded an increase in Singapore residents seeking medical treatments.Education Division

For 1H2011, HMI Institute of Health Sciences (?HMI-IHS?), the Group?s healthcare education arm, focused on streamlining its internal practices with the aim of maximizing operational efficiency, implementing quality improvement initiatives and obtaining EduTrust accreditation, as well as undertaking expansion plans to upgrade and expand training facilities and develop new courses. HMI-IHS has more healthcare education programmes in the pipeline to include higher value-add nursing and healthcare professional programmes to cater to a wider market.

Looking Ahead

Said Dr Gan See Khem, Executive Chairman, ?The Group is focused on the expansion of our healthcare business in Malaysia and the region. We have seen strong growth in our local and foreign patient numbers, and anticipate more opportunities for growth in healthcare. The healthcare industry in Malaysia is expected to remain robust for 2011, with medical tourism being identified as one of the key pillars of growth for the Malaysian economy. Mahkota Medical Centre, the leading medical tourism hospital in Malaysia, and Regency Specialist Hospital, strategically located in Iskandar Malaysia, are both well positioned to meet the increasing demands for quality and affordable healthcare in the region.?

The Group expects Mahkota to continue to contribute to the overall performance of the Group, whilst Regency is expected to increase patient revenue and narrow its operating start-up losses. Both hospitals are committed to investing in expanding capacity, establishing new specialty centres and intensifying its marketing activities to widen its local and regional patient base.
