| Source: MMR Information Systems, Inc.
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - December 23, 2009) - MMR Information Systems, Inc. (OTCBB : MMRF )
(the "Company"), which through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary,
MyMedicalRecords, Inc. (jointly with the Company, "MMR") provides
consumer-controlled Personal Health Records ("PHRs")
(www.mymedicalrecords.com) and electronic safe deposit box storage
solutions (www.myesafedepositbox.com), has appointed Ingrid Safranek as its
Chief Financial Officer as of December 17, 2009.
Safranek, age 36, has been a Certified Public Accountant in California
since 2006. She worked for Deloitte & Touche from 2002 to 2006, where she
was part of the audit teams for large and small, private and public clients
such as Computer Sciences Corporation, Infonet (later acquired by British
Telecom), Candle! Corporation (later acquired by IBM), Primedia, Inc., Gold
Circle Entertainment, and the Performing Arts Center, among others.
Safranek's focus was on the technology, media and entertainment industries.
She is also the owner of Goldstein Enterprises, a management consulting
firm that has served numerous clients by providing them with business
practices analyses and software application development in order to
streamline day-to-day operations and maximize efficiency. Among her past
and current clients as owner of Goldstein Enterprises are Nestle USA,
Warner Bros. Studios and RJR Fashion Fabrics. Safranek received a B.A. in
Business Economics with a minor in Accounting from UCLA.
Naj Allana, who has served as the Company's Chief Financial Officer and
Chief Technology Officer since its inception, will now serve as the
Company's Executive Vice President, Technology and Product Development.
Because of the Company's expanding product line and opportunities
internationally, Allana will now focus exclusively on the growing
technology needs of the Company, including the launch of the new user
interface for the MyMedicalRecords.com personal health record and the
commercial release of MMRPro and its related MMR Patient View portal.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for MMR. The Company is able to
intelligently expand its management team without an interruption of
day-to-day operations. Even though Naj is already transitioning into his
new role, his continued presence as a member of the Company's management
team will help streamline the transition process for Ingrid as the new CFO.
I have known Ingrid for 18 years and I am pleased to have her enthusiasm
and work ethic as a part of the Company's future," said Robert H. Lorsch,
Chairman and CEO of MMR Information Systems, Inc.
On December 22, 2009, the Audit Committee approved and the Board ratified
the selection of Rose, Snyder & Jacobs ("RSJ") as the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm. RSJ replaces the Company's previous
independent auditors, SingerLewak LLP ("Singer"). The Audit Committee also
approved and ratified the termination of the Company's relationship with
Singer.
Upon the appointment, RSJ is expected to be working with Singer to ensure a
seamless transition. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, and
December 31, 2007, respectively, and in the subsequent interim periods
ending September 30, 2009 and December 22, 2009, there were no
disagreements between the Company and Singer on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope
or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Singer, would have caused Singer to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such
years.
