Medipattern Reports Results for Q1 2012
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire -12/23/11)- Attention: Business/Financial Editors
The Medipattern Corporation ("Medipattern") (TSX-V: MKI.V -News), a pioneer in the development of medical imaging software solutions that help medical practitioners to better understand lesions and critical anatomy, announced first quarter results from the company's 2012 financial year.
"Working closely with our installed base, our development team has shown significant improvement to product workflow resulting in increasing product acceptance by all three target market segments," stated Jeff Collins, President and CEO of Medipattern. "Significant product milestones for Visualize:Vascular™ were met during the first quarter and are being expanded through the second quarter. The product is installed in vascular surgery, cardiology and general radiology private practices. The product is installed in both private practice and hospital settings. The product is installed and being used daily in low volume through high volume settings. We have been able to stress test the product under the full range of practice environments. We have also stress tested our pay-per-use sales model, whereby the customer pays for a limited use license key which can be updated in the field. As workflow concerns are being resolved, we started receiving payment for initial use of the product and updates to license keys recently in Q2. The product has proven to be reimbursed by all of the major payers in 4 states, all located in the Northeast US. We also welcome the following practices to our growing vascular user's group, who range from very small private practice to healthcare systems: Dr. Wruble in New York, Zwanger-Pesiri in New York, Massapequa Heart, part of the North Shore LIJ System in New York and East Orange Hospital in New Jersey."
"The Company also announced that on December 21, 2011, in accordance with its Stock Option Plan and subject to regulatory approval, the board of directors of Medipattern has approved the grant of an aggregate of 971,000 incentive stock options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants. The options are exercisable on or before December 21, 2016 at an exercise price of
.40 per share, with a portion of the options granted subject to vesting at the rate of one-third of the options in one-year increments over a three year period."
Financial Highlights for Q1 Fiscal 2012:
-- Revenue totaled $6,504 (Q1 2011 - $33,434) for the fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 2011, an overall decrease of 81%. Subscription rental fees
from B-CAD-FOR-LIFE™ accounted for all quarterly revenue (Q1 2011 -
$17,002) as the Company continued to focus its core R&D resources and
marketing expertise on meeting its deadlines for completion of internal
development and commercialization of its new vascular software
Visualize:Vascular™ which was rolled out on a limited basis in June
2011. In Q1 2011 the Company also generated $16,432 in B-CAD™
licensing revenue, while no professional fees were earning in either
period;
-- Non-interest operating expenses in Q1 2012 totaled $588,823 versus
$561,938 in Q1 2011, an overall increase of 4.8%. Despite modest
increases in R&D expenses associated with the final development of
Visualize:Vascular™, the Company remains committed to controlling all
discretionary spending until operating cash flow improves in response to
its ongoing commercialization of its award winning software products.
Total interest expense (including accreted interest on Convertible Debt)
for Q1 2012 increased to $102,097 (Q1 2011 - $55,324) as a result of its
late fiscal 2011 Convertible Debt financing, while a fair value gain of
$39,287 was recognized in Q1 2012 (Q1 2011 - loss of $2,116) on embedded
conversion options in its Convertible Notes;
-- Resulting net loss for Q1 2012 was $653,096 (.01 per share) versus $587,761 (.01 per share) for Q1 2011;
-- As at September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $192,786
(June 30, 2011 - $201,703), current assets, including highly liquid
short-term investments of $2,101,582 (June 30, 2011 - $2,567,619), were
$2,678,753 (June 30, 2011 - $3,313,658) and current liabilities were
$337,180 (June 30, 2011 - $352,104). Working capital at September 30,
2011 totaled $2,341,573 (June 30, 2011 - $2,961,554). At November 30,
2011, the Company estimates working capital at $1,750,000.
