HOUSTON, April 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: SPIN) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2018 year ended December 31, 2018.
Dr. William Donovan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Although we were disappointed with the overall results in 2018, we did see a number of the initiatives we implemented show positives results throughout the year. We concluded the year with three Quad Video Halo systems in operation from paying customers and a reduction in our overhead. We have vacated our QVH warehouse and put the QVH operations in a positive cashflow going forward. We had affiliate programs in Houston, Odessa, Tyler, and New Mexico in 2018 that we had to curtail funding due to our cash position. We are evaluating which options may be available to us, and potential partners for further expansion of our affiliate programs.”
Dr. Donovan further stated, "We are looking at options for the Quad Video Halo system as well. The Quad Video Halo system has met all of its performance requirements among doctors and other medical professionals, as well as patients. We believe with the proper funding, the QVH can become a staple within many facets of the healthcare sector.”
