Clearant, Inc. (OTCBB:CLRI), Los Angeles, has announced record
total revenue for the first quarter 2007. This is the third consecutive
quarter over quarter revenue growth and direct distribution revenue
growth.
For the first quarter 2007, the company reported record revenue of
$435,000, an increase of 128.9% over the first quarter 2006 revenue of
$190,000. First quarter 2007 total direct distribution revenue grew to a
record $179,000 compared to $147,000 in the fourth quarter 2006.
Excluding one-time and generally non-recurring contract research and
milestone revenue, total first quarter 2007 revenue was $269,000
compared to first quarter 2006 revenue excluding one-time and generally
non-recurring contract research and milestone revenue of $109,000.
First quarter 2007 net loss and EPS improved to $967,000 and $0.02
per share, compared to first quarter 2006 net loss of $2,513,000 and
$0.06 per share, respectively. As a result of not completing the capital
raise until April 2007, the company did not hire sales people and did
not secure tissue supply in the first quarter of 2007, which is likely
to cause a second quarter 2007 decline in revenue. Management believes
this will be a temporary fluctuation, and will more aggressively pursue
additional sales and supply efforts.
About Clearant, Inc.
Clearant, Inc. is a leader in pathogen inactivation for biological
products. Clearant has developed the patent-protected Clearant Process,
which substantially reduces all types of bacteria and viruses in
biological products while maintaining the functionality of the
underlying tissue implant or protein. The company began to distribute
directly to surgeons, hospitals and clinics Clearant Process sterile
implants in June 2006; in addition, Clearant continues to license the
Clearant Process and provides its patented sterilization services to
tissue banks and other biological products manufacturers. To date more
than 8,000 patients have been successfully implanted with Clearant
Process sterile implants supplied by one of the company's licensed
partners. Whereas various competing sterilization methods only kill
specific types of pathogens (such as bacteria or lipid-enveloped
viruses) for specific products, the Clearant Process reduces all types
of pathogens for products across many market segments including tissue
implants, plasma proteins, recombinant products, medical devices and
blood products. Also, the Clearant Process is applied during the final
packaging.
