  • For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded other income of $750,000. DATATRAK received $750,000 from a third-party in connection with activities and arrangements associated with its marketing and re-branding initiative related to the Company's launch of its new ticker symbol, DTRK.

"The soundness of our strategy and strength of execution continue to be evidenced by our strong financial metrics, market-leading growth rates and industry recognition as a thought leader," stated Laurence P. Birch , DATATRAK's Chairman of the Board and CEO. "As the macro-economic environment begins to improve and FDA drug approvals reach record levels, clients continue to search out the benefits provided by our global cloud-based solution – reduced friction costs, real-time access to data and a single source vendor."

"Additionally, we are beginning to see expansion of the clinical trial frontier – from a large scale focus on Big Data to a micro-focus on the patient," continued Birch.
