Implant Sciences Corporation (NYSE Alternext US: IMX), a high
technology supplier of systems and sensors for the homeland security
market and related industries, today announced financial results for its
fiscal 2009 second quarter ended December 31, 2008. The Company’s
financial condition and results of operations reported below include
only continuing operations, which exclude the financial condition and
results of operations of i) Core Systems, the Company’s former
wholly-owned subsidiary, the assets of which were sold on November 24,
2008, and ii) the medical reporting unit, the assets of which have been
sold or are in the process of being sold as part of the Company’s
decision to withdraw from the medical business.
Highlights of the fiscal second quarter and six-month period ended
December 31, 2008 are as follows:
-
Revenues for the second quarter increased 312%, to $1.5 million from
$0.4 million
-
Gross margin for the second quarter increased to 42%, vs. a negative
gross margin in the comparable prior period
-
Revenues for the six-month period increased 335%, to $7.5 million from
$1.7 million
-
Gross margin for the six-month period increased to 46%, vs. 28% in the
comparable prior period
Total security revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008
were $1,519,000 compared with $369,000 for the comparable prior year
period, an increase of $1,150,000 or 312%. Total security revenues for
the six months ended December 31, 2008 were $7,467,000 compared with
$1,716,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of
$5,751,000 or 335%. The increase in security revenues for the three and
six months ended December 31, 2008 is a result of increased sales of our
explosives detection products. For the six months ended December 31,
2008, the increase in sales of explosive detection products was
positively affected by a significant shipment of our handheld explosives
detection equipment to a customer in China during the first quarter of
fiscal 2009. The Company also recorded increased revenues from
performance on government contracts.
Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2008 improved to
$638,000, or 42% of security revenue, as compared with negative gross
margin of $39,000, or (11%) of security revenue, for the comparable
prior year period. Gross margin for the six months ended December 31,
2008 improved to $3,414,000, or 46% of security revenue, as compared
with $487,000, or 28% of security revenue, for the comparable prior year
period. The improvement in gross margin for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2008 is a result of increased sales volume of our
handheld explosives detection equipment.
Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31,
2008 was $2,090,000, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, compared with
a loss of $1,870,000, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, for the
comparable prior year period. The increase in loss from continuing
operations for the three months ended December 31, 2008 is primarily a
result of the increase in interest expense and realization of unrealized
loss of our share of CardioTech’s stock owned by CorNova; offset by
increased sales of our handheld explosives detection product and
improved gross margins resulting from these sales. Loss from continuing
operations for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was $2,724,000, or
$0.20 per basic and diluted share, compared with a loss of $3,435,000,
or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable prior year
period. The decrease in loss from continuing operations for the six
months ended December 31, 2008 is due primarily to increased sales of
our handheld explosives detection product and improved gross margins
resulting from these sales; offset by the increase in interest expense
and realization of unrealized loss of our share of CardioTech’s stock
owned by CorNova.
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $2,061,000, or
$0.15 per share, as compared to $4,815,000, or $0.41 per share, for the
comparable prior year period. Net loss for the six months ended December
31, 2008 was $1,705,000, or $0.12 per share, as compared to $7,017,000,
or $0.59 per share, for the comparable prior year period. Net loss for
the three and six months ended December 31, 2007 included loss from
discontinued operations of $2,945,000 and $3,582,000, respectively.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s cash position improved to
$724,000 as compared to $412,000 as of June 30, 2008. The Company has
approximately $200,000 cash as of today and will need to secure
additional cash resources in the next 30 days.
Glenn D. Bolduc, President and CEO of Implant Sciences, commented, "Our
second quarter was a quarter of dynamic change where several important
objectives were met, and which we believe set the stage for our future
growth and success. We have completed the sale of substantially all
business units and assets which are not strategic to our security
business. As a result, the Company is now squarely focused on building
its security business and offers investors a "pure-play” in security
technology (or explosive detection). Due to our recent financing, we
have eliminated our obligations to both Laurus and Bridge Bank. Our
relocation into a modern facility should provide much needed operational
efficiencies and cost-savings. The restructuring efforts executed in the
second quarter left us with a highly qualified and effective team to
execute on our ongoing growth strategy.
We believe that the growth in sales of our detection technology
solutions, combined with our market research supports growing global
demand for explosives trace detection equipment and technology. Our own
recent business development activities indicate significant
opportunities for sales of our existing handheld explosives detection
equipment and soon to be announced air cargo screening products
throughout the world. We have targeted Japan, Pakistan and India, in
particular, which appear to have significant demand for handheld
explosives detection equipment, estimated by us to be as much as $50
million over the next 12 to 18 months.”
Mr. Bolduc concluded, "While gratified at the successful accomplishments
in our second quarter, we are mindful that there are significant
challenges ahead. The Company will require capital to execute its
business plan and is actively engaged in the pursuit of additional
funding. The ongoing litigation with Evans Analytical Group, LLC is
scheduled for trial in April 2009 and we hope this matter will soon be
brought to its conclusion. However, in spite of the obstacles, we
believe we have now put in place the right team to overcome the hurdles
and take advantage of the growing worldwide opportunities to demonstrate
the benefits of Implant Sciences’ security solutions.”
Additional information on the financial condition and results of
operations can be found in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the three and six month period ended December 31, 2008 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements as that term is
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are subject
to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the fact that
our auditors’ opinion regarding our financial statements for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2008 expresses substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a "going concern”; an adverse determination in the
litigation related to our sale of the assets of our Accurel subsidiary
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations and could require us to file for protection under
bankruptcy laws; we have not previously operated at a profit and do not
expect to be profitable on a consistent basis for some time; if the NYSE
Alternext US delists our common stock, we may not be able to raise
capital and shareholder liquidity may become extremely limited; our
business is subject to intense competition and rapid technological
change; our explosives detection products and technologies (including
any new products we may develop) may not be accepted by the market; we
may not be able to manage our future growth or attract or retain key
personnel; shares of our common stock eligible for future sale may
adversely affect the market for our stock; and other risks and
uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.
Such statements are based on management's current expectations and
assumptions which could differ materially from the forward-looking
statements.
For further information, you are encouraged to review Implant Sciences’
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the period ended June 30,
2008 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended September
30, 2008 and December 31, 2008. The Company assumes no obligation to
update the information contained in this press release.
