ST. PAUL, MN--(Marketwire - November 6, 2009) - Hypertension Diagnostics, Inc. (
OTCBB:
HDII),
today announced financial results for the first quarter (Q1) of fiscal year
2010 ended September 30, 2009.
Revenue for Q1 2010 totaled $302,075 compared to $136,512 for Q1 2009
ending September 30, 2008, which represents a 121% increase. While the
Company incurred a net loss of $780,067 for Q1 2010 or $(.02) per share,
compared with net income of $121,605 for Q1 2008, or $.00 per share,
included in the net loss for Q1 2010 are total non-cash charges (deferred
stock compensation, depreciation, stock options) of $788,190. Therefore,
the Company was profitable in the quarter before non-cash charges. The
large increase in non-cash charges was a direct result of the rise in
Company's stock price which increased from $0.03 at the beginning of the
quarter to $0.14 as the end of the quarter. This increase in stock price
impacts the amount of the non-cash deferred stock compensation charge.
Included in the net income for Q1 2009 are total non-cash benefits of
$204,032, the result of a decline in the Company's stock price during last
year's first quarter which created a non-cash benefit for the non-cash
charge of deferred stock compensation. The Company reported a cash balance
on September 30, 2009 of $963,948, a 38% increase compared with a cash
balance of $697,918 on June 30, 2009.
"Our first quarter sales continued to rebound and we are pleased by the
revenue growth," said Mark Schwartz, Chairman and CEO. Q1 revenue from the
sale of the Company's research product used in the START substudy funded by
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was $98,745. Revenue for the first
quarter from non-START sources was $203,330, a 49% increase from the prior
year's first quarter total revenue and a 23% increase from the fourth
quarter's total revenue of $164,691. The Company expects to complete
shipment of the remaining START units by the end of the second quarter.
"The outlook for the second quarter is encouraging, based on preliminary
results of the number of non-START units sold. In October, it would
appear that for the calendar year so far, we have set a record," concluded
Mr. Schwartz.
