Leon Kopyt, Chairman and CEO of RCM, commented: "We are pleased with the respectable levels of improvement in the gross margin expansion of 250 basis points and an operating income increase of 254% in 2010 over 2009. Nonetheless, the lack of revenue growth in 2010 was disappointing and remains our principle focus for 2011. We've instituted a number of corrective measures designed to improve the sales productivity and sales structure, which we expect to have a positive impact on this year's sales performance. We believe that our overall services portfolio is consistent with the market demand and technology changes and reflects our continuing effort of driving diversification and transformation."
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved the continuation of its existing program to repurchase outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

The repurchases may be made on the open market, in block trades or otherwise, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The program will be funded using the Company's working capital. As of January 1, 2011, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $24.7 million and no debt. As of February 22, 2011 the Company had approximately 13.0 million shares of common stock outstanding.
