Revenue for the first quarter 2010 was
$8.4 million, a 22% increase over first quarter 2009 revenue of $6.9
million. Revenue increases were driven by significant growth in all
key testing services. Requisitions increased by approximately 25% and
test volume increased by 34% over first quarter 2009. After adjusting
for the adverse impacts caused by the internalization of bladder cancer FISH
testing by the Company’s largest client beginning in mid 2009, revenue and test
volume from all other clients grew by 42% and 54%, respectively.
The
company continued to aggressively invest in growth initiatives. Sales
and marketing expenses increased by $429,000, or 32%, driven by significant
investments made throughout 2009 in the size of the sales force and in marketing
capabilities. General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses
increased by $561,000, or 24%, primarily as a result of additional management
and information technology personnel, and due to approximately $200,000 of
additional R&D expenses incurred to develop the Melanoma FISH test during
the first quarter. Net loss for the quarter was ($750,000) or
($0.02)/share versus net income of $33,000 or $0.00/share in the first quarter
2009.
Doug
VanOort, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are pleased with our
first quarter results. Despite the revenue impacts from adverse
weather in the Northeast during the first two months, we finished the quarter
with strong test volume and set a new monthly revenue record in
March. We also made substantial progress towards achieving
profitability in the quarter. Gross margins increased by 1.1%
compared with the fourth quarter 2009 as a result of productivity gains in our
operations. In addition, total selling, general and administrative
(“SG&A”) expenses decreased by over $400,000 compared with last
quarter. We were also able to renegotiate our accounts
receivable-based credit facility, and we now have up to $5.0 million of
liquidity available through this facility.”

Bob
Gasparini, the Company’s President and Chief Scientific Officer, stated, “The
launch of our MelanoSITE melanoma FISH test in mid February was the most
significant corporate event in the first quarter. We have now trained
approximately 80 pathologists on how to use this new test and volumes are
starting to grow. As we have discussed previously, we expect
MelanoSITE test volumes to be modest until we can publish the results of our
validation study in a peer reviewed journal, which we believe will occur later
this year. So far, however, we have received great feedback from the
doctors who are using it.”
The
Company also announced today that it expects revenue of approximately $8.8 -
$9.2 million in the second quarter with a net loss of between $0.00 –
($0.02)/share.
