Canton, CT, Oct. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Second Quarter Results
Kelyniam Global Inc. (OTC: KLYG) For the quarter ending June 30th 2012 Kelyniam Global Inc. reported a loss of $45,692 on custom cranial product revenue of $196,435, compared to a net loss of $149,000 on revenues of $210,000 in the first quarter 2012. The company attributes the slight reduction in revenue to a slow April. Kelyniam expects the tepid sales of the spring to become robust with the arrival of "trauma season". Trauma season is the seasonal variation in trauma cases during the warmer weather months, according to the American College of Surgeons. http://www.facs.org/trauma/ntdb/fantus/0906.pdf
In addition to the product revenue, the company realized $100,000 of grant revenue from the Connecticut Department of Economic Development (DECD) in the second quarter.
Professional costs were greater in Q2 from several one-time events; the line-of-credit with Westfield Bank and the DECD funding. The company also incurred higher legal fees defending a lawsuit filed by former employee John Mastoloni. The company expects to incur additional legal costs in the coming quarters as the lawsuit continues and therefore will no longer pursuit fully reporting status. Other one-time expenses for the quarter were costs associated with filing the 510k for craniofacial implant approval with the FDA.
Kelyniam had a productive quarter with its emergence as a multiproduct company with the filing of the 510k to manufacture and market craniofacial implants made from PEEK-OPTIMA. In order to facilitate the anticipated growth of several product lines the company took steps to shore up the financials with the line-of-credit and the DECD aid package.
