BSD Medical Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results

SALT LAKE CITY, January 6, 2011—BSD Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:BSDM) (Company or BSD) (www.bsdmedical.com), a leading provider of medical systems that treat cancer and benign diseases using heat therapy, today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2010, including:

 
·
Cash and cash equivalents of $19.6 million
 
·
No debt
 
·
Total stockholders’ equity of $23.1 million
 
·
Total revenues of $507,000, a 19% increase over total revenues of $426,000 for the first quarter of last fiscal year
 
·
Net loss of $947,000, a 51% improvement compared to a net loss of $1,947,000 for the first quarter of last fiscal year
 
·
Net cash used in operating activities of $507,000, a 73% improvement compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,845,000 for the first quarter of last fiscal year

As of January 6, 2011, the Company has a sales backlog of $2.1 million, consisting of both hyperthermia and microwave ablation systems.

 “The first quarter results reflect the positive impact of the expense reduction measures we implemented to reduce the level of our operating cash burn,” said Harold Wolcott, President of the Company.  “We are also pleased with the increase in orders for our hyperthermia systems, compared to last year.  With the completion of a $10.0 million equity financing in November 2010, we have a strong balance sheet, no debt and believe we are sufficiently capitalized to continue the roll out of our MicroThermX Microwave Ablation System (MTX-180) and to support its global distribution network.”

Other highlights of the quarter and more recent activities include the following:

 
·
Success in the Company’s initial product launch for the MTX-180, which was initially focused on the placement of a select number of systems with pivotal, high-profile, interventional oncology, key opinion leaders.  The Company has successfully placed three of these systems and will shortly place a fourth system.

 
·
Early clinical success and strong positive clinician response to our MTX-180.

 
·
Progress in the process of establishing both domestic and international distribution networks dedicated to selling the MTX-180, pursuing the strategy of utilizing a network of specialty distribution firms focused on selling products in the field of interventional radiology, the target market for the Company’s ablation product line.
