Business Highlights for the Third Quarter 2013:
• Announced two new distributors for its platform of VivaScope® confocal microscopes: Emdutos Industria e Comercio Ltda in the Brazilian market and Equipmed in the Australian and New Zealand markets.
• Introduced the VivaScope 1500 Multilaser System, which includes three lasers of different wavelengths that can be used in fluorescence-mode imaging to enhance image contrast when combined with dyes that are FDA-approved for human use.
• Significantly reduced costs as a result of product development programs initiated internally in 2012, including a redesign of optical and electrical components within the in-vivo confocal imagers to improve quality, manufacturability and functionality.
• Continued to receive positive client feedback about VivaScope systems from physicians and researchers at major hospitals and from pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies across the globe.
• Initiated recruitment efforts to bolster the executive management team as well as adding industry veterans to operations, sales and marketing.
• Acknowledged recent addition of confocal microscopy for the clinical management of basal cell carcinoma to the Guideline published by the European Dermatology Forum, reporting that confocal microscopy "has shown high diagnostic accuracy for the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma."
Building Awareness & Engagement:

In addition, we have continued to benefit from the streamlining of operations in 2012, and by taking measures to enhance the management team. We continue to target a variety of facilities to convey the advantages of confocal microscopy as a tool for diagnosis in skin care. Based on the positive feedback we have been receiving from the medical community, at professional conferences, and as a result of media exposure, I am confident that we are on the right track and will witness improvement in the months and years ahead."
