Preston Parsons, the Chief Executive Officer and founder of the Company said of the announcement, "We couldn't be happier with our first quarter results. This has been a very busy year to date for the Company. In the past ten days we have completed our Qualifying Transaction, commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange, and now we have released our first Quarter results which we are very proud of. Our team has done an amazing job executing in 2017 and I want to personally thank everyone involved that helped contribute to these Q1 results."

The Company currently provides Neuromonitoring services exclusively in the State of Colorado. As previously announced, the Company has begun the process of expanding the Company's platform in regions outside of Colorado. It is anticipated that continued expansion in Colorado, coupled with the deployment of the Assure platform into additional states, will result in increased growth throughout 2017 and beyond.

Mr. Parsons also commented that, "Our team has been exceedingly busy in Q1 and Q2 with completing the Qualifying Transaction. The fact that we have also been able to grow the business substantially during these busy times speaks volumes to not only the commercial acceptance of the Assure Platform, but also to the dedication of our team.  Perhaps even more impressive is that historically Q1 and Q2 are slower periods within the fiscal and calendar year. I'm optimistic that the hard work that is being done today will result in continued strong performance as we continue to expand."

The Company also notes that due to the Qualifying Transaction there have been increased expenses in 2017, some of which are non-recurring. Additionally, Assure has experienced collections that are above the Company's forecasts which have positively impacted Q1 financial results.
