MedMira Reports Second Quarter Results
30 March 2018 - 10:00AM
MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSXV:MIR), reported today on its financial
results for the quarter ended January 31, 2018.
Profit and Loss Highlights
- Revenue: The Company recorded revenues in Q2 FY2018 of $183,876
compared to $193,576 in Q2 FY2017. The slight decrease in revenue
was due to the Company’s strategy to focus on high profit margin
markets. As outlined below, this strategy has resulted in the
Company recording a higher contribution margin and has also
indirectly decreased expenses.
- Gross Profit: The Company recorded a gross profit in Q2 FY2018
of $141,848 compared to $133,652 for the same period last year. The
overall gross margin percentage on sales increased by 8% from 69%
in Q2 FY2017 to 77% in this financial quarter.
- Operating expenses: In this quarter, the Company recorded
operating expenses of $681,442 compared to $562,527 in Q2 FY2017.
The increase of 21% in operating expenses was primarily due to an
increase in the Company’s current research and development work on
two new products. All other expenses decreased by 20% during this
quarter compared to the same period last year.
- Net loss: The Company recorded a net loss of $713,854 compared
to $549,604 in Q2 FY2017. The increase is mainly due to the
rise in research and product development expenses for the Company’s
new products.
Balance Sheet Highlights
- Assets: The Company had an expected decrease of its assets by
$271,183 or 44% compared to last quarter due to receipt of trade
receivables and tax receivables.
- Liabilities: The Company’s liabilities increased by $442,671 or
4% between Q1 FY2018 and Q2 FY2018. This was due to an increase in
interest payables and accrued payables.
- Loans in default increased by $489,900 or 7% compared to last
quarter. This increase was due to a related party’s loan being due.
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 increases noted
above, the Company recorded higher working capital deficit of
$691,696 or 7% compared to last quarter.
