Physiometrix Announces Fourth-Quarter and Year-End 2003 Financial Results
NO. BILLERICA, Mass., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Physiometrix, Inc.
(Nasdaq-SCM: PHYX) announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and
twelve months ended December 31, 2003. For the fourth quarter ended December
31, 2003, revenues were $689,441, compared with revenues of $739,541 for the
same period in 2002. All revenues in the fourth quarter of 2003 related to units
shipped and accepted in that period; in the fourth quarter of 2002, revenue of
$600,400 was recognized related to the final acceptance of units that were
deferred in previous periods. Sequentially, revenue increased 13% in the fourth
quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2003. For 2003, revenues were
$1,737,804, compared with revenues of $1,017,164 for 2002, representing an
increase of 71%.
The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $(4,442,102), or $(0.44) per
share, including a non-cash expense of $2,929,131 related tothe derivative
accounting treatment of unregistered warrants issued in our common stock
financing completed in December 2003, which raised gross proceeds of
approximately $8.2 million. In accordance with EITF 00-19, Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
Company's Own Stock, the warrants are included as a liability and valued at fair
market value until the Company meets the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent
equity. The Company expects that the registration of the shares underlying the
warrants will classify the value of such shares as permanent equity under EITF
00-19. The registration statement covering these shares was filed on Form S-3
with the SEC on December 11, 2003 and was declared effective on February 5,
2004. Therefore, the Company expects the liability associated with the value of
these warrants to be reclassified as equity commencing on the effective date of
the registration statement, February 5, 2004. The fourth quarter lossin 2003
compares with a net loss of $(934,464), or $(0.11) per share, for the same
period in 2002. For the twelve months of 2003, the net loss was $(8,050,253), or
$(0.91) per share, compared with a net loss of $(5,523,623), or $(0.66) per
share, in the same period of 2002.
"The fourth quarter results were in line with our expectations. We achieved
anticipated revenue growth from Q3 to Q4 and are gratified to have received our
510(K) clearance for the PSA 5000 monitor from the Food and Drug Administration
this week," said John A. Williams, president and chief executive officer of
Physiometrix. "The performance of our PSA 4000 with frontal array has been
outstanding and we have completed the transition to our new sales force at
Baxter. With our recently completed financing behind us, we are confident that
we will gain momentum in 2004. We believe that consumer demand in the operating
room is increasing. Our monitor is being sold and accepted as a useful clinical
tool in the critical care setting(ICU) and we are truly excited about the
opportunities in outpatient sedation and office based anesthesia," Williams
added.
