SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- NewCardio, Inc., (OTC BB: NWCI) a cardiac diagnostic technology provider, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011. More details on the financial results are available in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Highlights
NewCardio generated ECG license and professional services revenue associated with the deployment of QTinno for use in the cardiac safety component of a drug development study, totaling $102,000 compared to $21,000 in the second quarter of last year, an increase of 386%. Net cash used in operating activities was $682,000 in the current quarter, which is a decrease of 54% from $1,492,000 in the second quarter last year. For the quarter, the Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $935,000, or $(0.03) per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.5 million, or $(0.05) per fully diluted share, in the second quarter last year.
The Company is continuing to explore potential strategic funding opportunities to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of its 3-D platform technology solutions; however, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful.
Vincent Renz, NewCardio's President and CEO commented, "Progress in the development and commercialization of our initial solutions remains steady, but sure, as we continue our strategic funding efforts in raising the capital required to accelerate the development of CardioBip and my3KG. QTinno continues to gain market adoption, as marked by our selection by Merck for use in two early phase QT trials, which we believe will continue as our partners continue to educate their drug development customers who continue to look for advanced science and technology which will enable them to receive quality results in a more timely and cost effective manner. In addition, we continue to bolster the reputation of CardioBip and my3KG in the industry through our current development and validation efforts, as evidenced by the presentations and the acceptance of papers, and believe this will ultimately lead to commercial success."
Dr. Patrick Maguire, Chairman of the Board of Directors, added, "Since becoming Chairman in June 2011, I have been actively working with the management team and the Board on our strategic opportunities. I continue to believe in NewCardio and the opportunity to move forward our superior technology, which has the potential to successfully address significant clinical needs in cardiac safety, remote monitoring and arrhythmia detection. I look forward to being part of NewCardio's progress and success, bringing both my medical background as a cardiologist and business background as CEO of a VC-backed cardiology technology company to help the Company realize its potential."
