Ivivi Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:II), Northvale, N.J., a leader in
non-invasive, electrotherapeutic technologies, has announced financial
results for fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, Ivivi Technologies
reported total revenue of $1,182,340, a 50% increase from $786,512
reported for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Revenues were
primarily driven by rental programs in the wound care market and the
sale of our products through distributors into medical facilities. Unit
sales increased to $416,292 from $147,949 in fiscal 2006 while rentals
increased to $740,006 from $638,563. The company also recorded licensing
fee revenue of $26,042 in fiscal 2007 related to milestone payments
received from Allergan and amortized over the initial term of our
agreement with Allergan. The company had a net loss of $7,778,611, or
$1.13 per share, for fiscal 2007 compared to a net loss of $10,746,671,
or $2.26 per share, for fiscal 2006. The fiscal 2007 net loss reflects
share based compensation expenses of approximately $2.1 million. In
fiscal 2006, the net loss was impacted by a $4.7 million charge for the
change in fair value of warrant and registration rights liabilities
related to securities issued in the company's private placements.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, Ivivi Technologies
reported total revenue of $369,166 compared to $308,238 in the
comparable period in 2006, an increase of 20%. The current quarter
included unit sales of $196,060 and rental revenue of $157,481. The
company also recorded $15,625 in licensing revenues in the current
quarter related to the amortization of milestone payments received from
Allergan. This compares to unit sales of $51,673 and rental revenue of
$256,565 in the comparative prior period. Net loss for the three month
period ended March 31, 2007 was $1,422,943, or $0.15 per share, compared
to a net loss of $6,705,239, or $1.41 per share, for the three month
period ended March 31, 2006. The net loss in the prior year period
included a $4.7 million charge for the change in fair value of warrant
and registration rights liabilities related to securities issued in the
company's private placements.
On March 31, 2007, Ivivi Technologies had cash and cash equivalents
of $8.3 million, no outstanding long term debt and 9,556,783 common
shares outstanding.
"It has been a year of significant progress, highlighted by
the completion of our IPO last October, the signing of our exclusive
worldwide distribution agreement with Allergan, as well as the receipt
of marketing approval in Canada and the European Union for our
non-invasive treatment for the promotion of wound healing, reduction of
pain and post operative edema," commented Andrea A. DiMino, vice
chairman and co-chief executive officer. "We have also made major
strides to further demonstrate the efficacy and broad potential of our
proprietary PEMF technology."
"Our cardiac study at the Cleveland Clinic Florida, where we
are non-invasively treating patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, is at
full enrollment. Published studies have shown that our PEMF technology
can enhance blood flow and stimulate angiogenesis (growth of new blood
vessels) in animals and we are hopeful that our technology can make a
difference in the lives of the patients in our study. Results of our
cardiac study are expected toward the end of calendar 2007, although
there can be no assurance of the timing of these results. Our PEMF
technology has recently been shown to accelerate pain relief by 80%
post-surgically after breast augmentation. With respect to our
neurological research, Dr. Diana Casper of Albert Einstein College of
Medicine demonstrated that our PEMF signals can double neuron survival
in animals subjected to brain inflammation, which could lend itself to
applications in Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative
conditions in humans."
David Saloff, president and co-chief executive officer added,
"With the groundwork we have laid over the past year, raising
additional capital, advancing our science, further demonstrating
clinical efficacy and also commencing the seeding of our initial target
markets, we believe we are well positioned to attract additional
partners to accelerate sales. Allergan, our worldwide distribution
partner in the aesthetic and bariatric surgery markets, is involved in
their premarketing launch activities and, although there can be no
assurance, they are expected to launch our product later this year. We
are also in active discussions for a partner for the chronic wound care
market and have engaged several domestic third party distributors to
assist us in further penetrating this market. We have also completed
initial prototypes of a non-invasive, non-pharmacologic alternative to
pain relievers such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for
inflammatory conditions and expect to file a 510(k) application by
calendar year end for both a prescription and over-the-counter pain
relief product."
