“The decline in quarterly revenues for the current fiscal year is due to a change we made recently in our selling strategy,” said Mark Schwartz, Chairman and CEO. “For the last several months, the Company has been engaged in a search for a distribution partner or partners with an established national sales force or national distribution network serving the primary care market. Our objective is to integrate the CVProfilor product into the partner’s existing cardiovascular disease product platform rather than selling through our own dedicated sales force which has been eliminated. Although no assurances can be given that the Company will identify a suitable partner or partners or that the Company will consummate mutually satisfactory arrangements with a partner or partners, we believe that this is the best strategy for broadening distribution and increasing sales of the CVProfilor.”
