Second Quarter Financial Results
three months June 30, 2018 were $453,210, compared to $111,045 for
the same period in 2017, an increase of $342,165, or 308%. Revenues
resulted primarily from sales in the United States and Europe of
our dermaPACE and orthoPACE devices and related applicators. The
increase in revenues for 2018 was due to the higher sale of devices
and both new and refurbished applicators in the United States and
Europe as compared to the same period in 2017.
development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were
$368,377, compared to $437,909 for the same period in 2017, a
decrease of $69,572, or 16%. The decrease in research and
development expenses was due to lower stock-based compensation
expense and to lower consultant costs related to the FDA submission
and follow up which was partially offset by the hiring of a
full-time software engineers and an accrual of bonus for
and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2018 were $2,030,799, as compared to $951,908 for the same period
in 2017, an increase of $1,078,891, or 113%. The increase in
general and administrative expenses was due to the hiring of a
president and human resources director and the related stock-based
compensation expense for stock options issued, higher travel costs,
accrual of bonus, higher public company costs related to investor
relations, higher costs related to leasing of product, and higher
consultant fees related to the commercialization of the dermaPACE
loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,888,259, or
($0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of
$1,415,937, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the same
period in 2017, an increase in the net loss of $1,472,322. The
increase in the net loss for 2018 was primarily due to higher
general and administrative expenses as noted above as well as
higher interest expense related to convertible promissory notes
which was partially offset by gain on warrant valuation
anticipate that our operating losses will continue over the next
few years as we incur expenses related to commercialization of our
dermaPACE system for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in the
United States. If we are able to successfully commercialize, market
and distribute the dermaPACE system, we hope to partially or
completely offset these losses in the future.
