December 24 2020 - 6:00PM
MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSXV: MIR), reported today on its financial
results for the quarter ended October 31, 2020.
Profit and Loss Highlights
- Revenue: The
Company recorded revenues in Q1 FY2021 of $1,602,823 compared to
$89,132 in Q1 FY2020. The increase in revenue was due to the
Company’s revenues generated from sales of the REVEALCOVID-19TM
Total Antibody Test and associated products and services.
- Gross Profit:
The Company recorded a gross profit in Q1 FY2020 of $1,362,271
compared to $71,688 for the same period last year. The overall
gross margin percentage on sales decreased by 5% from 80% in Q1
FY2020 to 75% in this financial quarter. This decrease was due to
the higher supplier pricing and approximately 5 times higher
shipping costs during the lock downs and various restrictions
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
- Operating
expenses: The Company recorded for this quarter operating expenses
of $478,921 compared to $354,997 in Q1 FY2020. The increase of 35%
in operating expenses was primarily due to additional research and
development costs and other direct costs associated with sales such
as logistic costs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Net (loss)
income: The Company recorded a net income of $715,172 compared to a
net loss of $468,673 in Q1 FY2020.
Balance Sheet Highlights
- Assets: The
Company had an increase of its assets by $1,164,301 between Q4
FY2020 and Q1 FY2021 which was mainly due to an increase in cash,
trade receivables and inventories.
- Liabilities: The
Company’s liabilities increased by $449,129 between Q4 FY2019 and
Q1 FY2020. The Company’s current liabilities increased by $497,417
or 3% was mainly due to increases in deferred revenue and accounts
payable.
- Loans in default
decreased by $38,850 or 1% compared to last quarter. All long and
short terms debts are currently under negotiation to restructure
terms and conditions of repayment.
- Working Capital
deficit: As a result of the changes noted above, the Company
recorded a lower working capital deficit of $718,539 or 5% compared
to last quarter.
The majority of current revenue is generated
from the REVEALCOVID-19TM Total Antibody Test as well as associated
products and services. Such disproportionate contribution to the
revenue may expose the Company to certain financial risks. To
mitigate such risks, the Company does not solely rely on the
marketing and sale of REVEALCOVID-19™ Total Antibody Test, and,
therefore, is continuously working on the development, validation,
and regulatory approval of a number of high-demand products. The
aim of this product diversification strategy is to counter act any
macro economical changes and other non-economic factors.
Regulatory StatusMedMira has applied to the US
FDA to obtain FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the
REVEALCOVID-19™ Total Antibody Test, and its application is under
review. However, while awaiting the authorization, REVEALCOVID-19™
Total Antibody Test can be distributed in the U.S. according to
Section IV.D of the Policy for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Test. In
addition, MedMira received on the 21st of May 2020 the right to
sell in all countries accepting CE mark. In Canada, the Company has
re-submitted, based on the new template issued by Health Canada,
its application for an interim order permitting sales on the 29th
of October 2020. No sales can be made in Canada prior to receipt of
the interim order from Health Canada. There can be no assurance
when or if the interim order will be granted.
