FRISCO, Texas, Aug 19, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Assured Pharmacy (Pink Sheets: APHY), a leading specialty pharmacy providing prescription medications to more than 3,000 sufferers of chronic pain announced that total sales on a same store basis for the month of July 2010 were $1,422,163 which equates to $67,722 per business day . This represents an increase of 1.4 percent compared with total sales of $1,402,374 for June 2010 and an increase of 6.2 percent compared with total sales per business day of $63,744 for June 2010.

"We are very pleased with our sales results in July which marks our fifth consecutive month of revenue per business day growth. The results reflect continued progress in the implementation of our strategies, especially when taking into consideration that the summer months have been historically lower revenue months due to seasonality," said Robert DelVecchio, Chief Executive Officer of Assured Pharmacy. "As these sales figures reflect, we remain on track in our drive for sales and market share growth, improved earnings at the store level and strong cash flow. I believe the transparency of our monthly sales trend is vital to keeping its shareholders informed and have initiated an action plan to inform our shareholders of these sales trends on the third Thursday of each month."
