ST. PAUL, MN--(Marketwire - September 28, 2010) - Hypertension Diagnostics, Inc. (
OTCBB:
HDII)
-- Comparable Yearly Revenue Increases by 175%
-- Comparable Quarterly Revenue Expands by 202%
-- Sequential Quarterly Revenue Grows by 294%
-- Total Unit Sales Increase by 225%
-- Cash Generated from Operations for Year is $279,080
Hypertension Diagnostics, Inc. (
OTCBB:
HDII) today announced audited
financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (FY 2010).
Revenue for FY 2010 totaled $1,383,669 compared to $503,175 in the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2009 (FY 2009), which represents a 175% increase. The
Company incurred a net loss of $989,759 for FY 2010 or $(.02) per share,
compared with a net loss of $248,440 for FY 2009, or $(.01) per share.
"The fourth quarter, and in particular the month of June, was a remarkable
period for the Company with the highest number of units sold in any month
in the Company's history," said Mark Schwartz, Chairman and CEO. "Most
importantly, the Company generated cash from operations of $279,080 and
therefore was profitable on a non-GAAP basis."
Included in the net loss for FY 2010 are total non-cash charges (mainly
deferred stock compensation, depreciation, stock options) of $1,204,391.
Included in the net loss for FY 2009 are total non-cash benefits of
$125,102. The charge for FY 2010 is a result of an increase in the
Company's stock price, which increased the non-cash deferred compensation.
The benefit for FY 2009 is a result of a decrease in the Company's stock
price, which caused the non-cash deferred compensation expense to become a
non-cash benefit. The Company reported a cash balance on June 30, 2010 of
$1,053,648.
Fourth quarter revenue of $497,007, for fiscal year 2010 (Q4 2010) compared
to $164,691 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, represented a 202%
increase. Revenue for Q4 2010 increased by 294% compared with $126,261 for
the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.
The number of units sold by the Company during FY 2010 increased 225%
compared with sales during FY 2009. Of those units sold, 15 were from the
previously reported START study funded by the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) to determine whether the measurement of elasticity can assist in the
prevention of cardiovascular disease in HIV patients. Without the START
study sales, unit volume increased by 150%.
In June, the Company changed its estimated inventory obsolescence allowance
to more accurately reflect the shift from a rental to a sales model and
better reflect the gross profit on equipment sales, resulting in an
adjustment to inventory and to cost of sales of $150,614. This caused the
Company to report a negative cost of sales or an increase in income for FY
2010.
