ST. PAUL, MN--(Marketwire - February 13, 2009) - Hypertension Diagnostics, Inc. (OTCBB: HDII),
today announced financial results for the second quarter (Q2) of fiscal
year 2009 ended December 31, 2008.
Revenue for Q2 2009 totaled $137,207 compared to $145,662 for Q2 2008
ending December 31, 2007, which represents a 5.8% decrease. The Company's
net loss was $191,165 for Q2 2009 or $.00 per share, compared with a net
income of $165,448 for Q2 2008, or $.00 per share. Included in the net
loss for Q2 2009 are total non-cash charges (mainly deferred compensation,
depreciation, stock options) of $92,178. In Q2 2008, total non-cash
benefits were $252,870. The decline in the Company's stock price during Q2
2008 resulted in a negative expense for the Q2 2008 deferred compensation
expense of $283,500. This caused the company to report net income, which
would not have occurred without the negative deferred compensation expense
in Q2 2008. The Company reported a cash balance on December 31, 2008 of
$914,741.
For the six month period ended December 31, 2008, total revenue was
$273,719, compared to $292,014 for the six month period ended December 31,
2007, a 6.3% decrease. For the six month period ended December 31, 2008,
the Company incurred a net loss of $69,560, including a non-cash benefit of
$111,854, or $.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $290,760,
including a non-cash charge of $64,106, or $(.01) per share, for the six
month period ended December 31, 2007.
"While the current quarter shows a decline in revenues from the comparable
quarter in the last fiscal year, we are excited by the opportunity in the
international markets, where prevention of cardiovascular disease is
becoming standard of care," said Mark Schwartz, Chairman and CEO. "The
Company has been working with new international distributors in the
European and Asian markets to compete in the emerging vascular screening
market where we believe our products have a compelling clinical advantage
over our competitors."
