Longport (CE) (USOTC:LPTI)
Historical Stock Chart
From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
Longport, Inc. (OTC BB: LPTI), a medical technology
specialist in high resolution ultrasound imaging, announced its
financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
2005.
Revenues for the second quarter 2005 were $194,541 compared to
$394,750 for the second quarter in 2004. The decline was attributed to
the absence of used Scanner sales as well as revenue from the sale of
distribution rights that were accounted for one year ago. Total
operating expenses for the quarter rose to $685,721 compared to
$429,773 for the same period a year ago. The increase was due to the
rise in General and Administrative expenses which have accompanied the
Company's move from its product development stage to the active
distribution of its Scanner products. The company reported a net loss
of ($448,551) or ($0.02) per share for the second quarter 2005. This
compares to a loss of ($134,616) or ($0.01) per share for the second
quarter 2004.
Michael Boyd, CEO of Longport, said, "In the second quarter of
2005, Longport continued to implement its operational plan. As
discussed in the last few months, the plan includes continued
expansion of our product into additional market sectors and geographic
territories via the execution of additional sales and distribution
agreements as well as the further development of Longport's technology
resulting in additional marketable products and services. This quarter
we have made progress along these lines including the distribution
agreements we signed with Maximum Medical, Inc. and Traveling Medical
Services. We also sold scanners directly to Christie Hospital in
Manchester, England, as well as a nursing home in North Carolina.
Further, Longport attended a number of national clinical congresses as
an exhibitor."
Boyd added, "Maximum Medical has placed and received an order for
six demonstration EPISCAN systems and are expected to require an
additional two demonstration units in the third quarter of 2005 as
they roll out their EPISCAN sales and marketing program. Their 35
sales people have established relationships with many clinics,
hospitals, and nursing homes."
Boyd also said, "The sale of the scanner to Christie Hospital in
the UK is also a significant milestone as it opens an entirely new
application for the EPISCAN. Our focus has been on the assessment and
prevention of pressure ulcers thus far. Christie is using the scanner
in conjunction with photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of
basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, and Bowen's Disease, a
very common pre-malignant condition of the skin. This new use also
provides us with an opportunity to branch out into the assessment of
these conditions."
He remarked, "The Traveling Medical Services agreement offers a
very flexible model for future contracts. Traveling Medical will be
offering the scanner to nursing homes through either direct sales
arrangements and/or as an enhancement to the services they already
provide.
Boyd concluded, "We are still building momentum in the
implementation of our operating plan, with the progress in the second
quarter giving us grounds for optimism about the remainder of the
year. We believe that the technology behind our product remains
unrivalled, and our sales and marketing efforts are beginning to
establish a much broader range of distribution channels through
established medical device sales and marketing companies."
For the first six months ending June 30, 2005, the company
announced revenues of $576,881 compared to $501,104 for the first six
months of 2004. The increase in six month revenue was due to the sale
of distribution rights of $304,540. However, this was offset by a
decrease in revenue from scanner sales of $246,463. Total operating
expenses in the first half of 2005 increased to $1,174,044 compared to
$837,595 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase is due
primarily to the rise in general and administrative costs of $336,449,
due to the expansion of the company's activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the company reported a
decline in net loss of ($554,534) or ($0.02) per share compared to a
net loss of ($681,580) or ($0.03) per share for the same period ended
June 30, 2004. The decrease in loss is primarily attributed to the
presence in 2004 of a $164,707 write down of an investment originally
made in 2000.
