MedMira Reports FY2017 Third Quarter Results HAL

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, June 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSXV:MIR), reported today on its financial results for the three and nine month periods ending April 30, 2017. 

MedMira’s revenue from product sales and related royalties in the quarter was $192,590 as compared to $230,419 for the same period last year.  Gross profit on product sales for the quarter was $116,381 (60%) compared to $163,828 (71%) in the same period in 2016. 

Total operating expenses were $625,227 during the quarter compared to $1,040,949 in the third quarter of FY2016.  The decrease of 40% during the quarter compared to the same quarter in FY2016 is a direct result of the continuing cost containment measures implemented across the Company as well as the conclusion of large research and development projects.

Subsequent to the close of the quarter, MedMira received CE Mark on its rapid multiplex syphilis/HIV test, Multiplo TP/HIV.  CE Mark on this product enables the Company to pursue new sales opportunities in the European Union and international markets where CE Mark is accepted.  Multiplex tests, which deliver simultaneous, instant results, can help healthcare providers, NGOs, and public health organizations capitalize on existing programs and infrastructure to challenge the increasing rate of both syphilis and HIV infections with just one test.
