Theralase
Holds Revenues Stable While Advancing Therapeutic Laser, Cancer and Bacteria Destruction
Technologies
Toronto, Ontario –
April 30, 2012,
Theralase Technologies Inc. (TSXV:
TLT) announced its year end 2011 financial results today.
Total
revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 remained stable at $2,027,058
compared to $2,040,537 for the same period in 2010.
Selling
expenses increased by 55%, to $1,060,288 for the twelve month period ended December
31, 2011 compared to $681,968 for the same period in 2010. The percentage
increase was due to increased spending on salaries, marketing, advertising and travel
related expenses, as a result of the Company’s expansion efforts into the US
medical market.
Administrative
expenses decreased from $1,241,126 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010
to $1,028,431 for the same period in 2011 representing a decrease of 17%. The decrease
in administrative expenditures is primarily due to reductions in the costs
associated with stock based compensation.
Research and development
costs increased to $867,872
for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $688,411 for the previous year.
This represents a 26% increase in expenditures, which is due to the costs
required to commercialize the TLC-2000 biofeedback laser and research and
development of the TLC-3000 Photo Dynamic Compound cancer and bacteria
destruction technology.
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1,453,974
which included $74,922 of net non-cash expenses (amortization, stock-based
compensation expense, foreign exchange gain/loss and lease inducements) compared
to a net loss in 2010 of $1,168,350, which included $271,086 of net non-cash
expenses. The increase in net loss is due to capital investments in three
fundamental areas: sales and marketing expansion of the therapeutic laser
technology into the US medical market, commercialization of the patented TLC-2000 Biofeedback
Therapeutic Laser due for launch in 4Q2012 and research and development of the TLC-3000
Photo Dynamic Compound cancer and bacteria destruction technology due
for completion of the pre-clinical phase by 4Q2012..
Roger
Dumoulin-White, President and CEO of Theralase Technologies Inc. stated, “The
Company is preparing for the unveiling of its next generation patented TLC-2000
Biofeedback Therapeutic Laser in 4Q2012, while on the research front, exciting
progress is being made in the destruction of cancer cells and bacteria utilizing
Theralase’s patented Photo Dynamic Compounds (PDCs). In order to capitalize on
this research and unlock shareholder value, we are presently investigating strategic
partnerships focused on the early commercialization of both of these ground
breaking technologies.”
Subsequent
to the Company’s year-end, Theralase completed a private placement on April 13,
2012 for gross proceeds of $750,000.
