“The second quarter came in below plan but we remain confident we will achieve our seven goals for 2017 and as you can see we make great progress toward reaching these goals,” stated Kevin Richardson, CEO and Chairman. “The seven goals that we projected for 2017 were:
1. FDA approval in late 2017 or early 2018,
2. Add 7 to 10 new countries/regions to our portfolio,
3. Expand Board of Directors members from 4 to 7,
4. Expand Medical Advisory Board members from 2 to 5,
5. Produce record international sales,
6. Launch clinical work both domestically and internationally, and
7. Obtain at least one non-medical partner.
If we can achieve these goals in 2017, we will be well prepared for a rapid sales increase in 2018 as our commercialization efforts take effect,” concluded Mr. Richardson.
Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $111,045, compared to $203,406 for the same period in 2016, a decrease of $92,361, or 45%.

Research and development expenses decreased in 2017 due to lower payments to consultants related to the de novo petition submission to the FDA in July 2016 and lower travel costs.

The increase in the net loss for 2017 was primarily due to the stock compensation expense for stock options issued during in June 2017 and an increase in the bad debt reserve and was partially offset by lower research and development expenses as noted above.
