(firmenpresse) - WINNIPEG, MANITOBA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/30/13 -- Miraculins Inc. (TSX VENTURE: MOM), ("Miraculins" or "the Company"), a medical diagnostic company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing diagnostic tests and risk assessment technologies for unmet clinical needs, today reported its results from operations for the quarter ended May 31, 2013.
Financial Results
The Company did not earn any revenue from PreVu during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 (2012 - nil), compared to $31,520 in the previous quarter when Miraculins earned its first commercial revenue from the PreVu technology. Additionally, there were no license fee revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2013 (2012 - nil), compared to $24,990 for the previous quarter and recognized no collaborative research and option fee income compared to $11,655 for the previous quarter and $38,640 for the same quarter in the previous year.
Net loss for the quarter was $747,380 or $0.01 per share, compared to net loss of $713,000 or $0.01 per share in the same quarter a year ago and a net loss of $660,532 or $0.01 for the previous quarter. The net loss primarily relates to costs associated with the advancement of the Company's PreVu technology.
At May 31, 2013, the Company had cash totaling $634,442 compared to $911,808 as of November 30, 2012. Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended May 31, 2013 were $1,132,788, compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $1,039,420 for the six months ended May 31, 2012.
The Company is currently involved in piloting the PreVu Non-Invasive Skin Cholesterol Point of Care (POC) Test in various market segments though third party distribution partners. Miraculins' business model is to establish distribution partners that will be responsible for selling and servicing these market segments. Buying cycles for end users can often be long and protracted. As a result, during this market introduction period, the Company anticipates that there may be periods of limited revenue which have been accounted for with the Company's planned financing activities.
About Miraculins Inc.
Miraculins is a medical diagnostic company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-invasive tests for unmet clinical needs. A significant number of promising diagnostic opportunities remain un-commercialized because of the sizable gap between the discovery stage, when research institutions are typically involved, and the commercialization stage, when the larger commercial enterprises become interested. Miraculins has direct experience in bridging this gap. The Company's PreVu® technology is a revolutionary new coronary artery disease risk assessment technology that measures cholesterol levels in a patient's skin non-invasively, painlessly and without the need for fasting. Miraculins is also advancing a suite of biomarkers to aid in the early detection of the devastating disease of pregnancy known as preeclampsia. The lead marker in the Company's preeclampsia program is partnered with Alere Inc., one of the world's largest diagnostic companies. For more information visit .
