Management Commentary
“Driven largely by sales resulting from our recently executed agreement with Terumo Europe NV to distribute our MicroThermX® Microwave Ablation System product line, BSD grew total revenues by 77% in fiscal year 2013, with only a 13% increase in operating expenses,” said Harold Wolcott, President of BSD Medical.

“Our exclusive, multi-year, multi-million dollar distribution agreement with Terumo Europe NV represents a significant stride toward our goal of bringing our improved thermal treatments for cancer to millions of people around the world,” he added.  “We began shipping product during the third quarter under our Terumo agreement which covers more than 100 countries with a market potential in excess of $1 billion.  Although it is early in our relationship, we are pleased with the market penetration to date.

“The substantial increase in revenues from our MicroThermX® product line offset fiscal year 2013 declines for our hyperthermia business.  Hyperthermia revenues can fluctuate greatly between time periods due to this product’s sales price and long sales cycle.  We have distribution agreements for our hyperthermia systems in China, South Korea and Taiwan, and are working toward obtaining regulatory import approvals in these countries.  We are currently seeking strategic or partnership arrangements for our hyperthermia business.

“We are optimistic about the outlook for fiscal 2014 and are well positioned for continued revenue growth.  Our plan for the coming year is to continue expanding our geographic footprint for the MicroThermX® through collaborations such as our Terumo agreement—a model that we view as working well for BSD—with a particular focus on Latin America and Asia.   We also see significant opportunity in the U.S., where cancer remains the second-leading cause of death, and we are positioned to capitalize on developing trends in the healthcare system of providing cost-effective, less-invasive treatments.

 
 

 
 
We have a strong balance sheet with $9.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and no debt,” concluded Mr. Wolcott.

Fiscal 2013 Financial Highlights
Revenues for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 increased $1.6 million, or 77%, to $3.7 million, compared with the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012.  The company has a current backlog for its hyperthermia systems of $2.3 million.

Gross margin was $1.4 million or 38% of revenues for fiscal 2013, compared with $0.6 million, or 27% of revenues for fiscal 2012.  The improvement in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales resulted from increasing MicroThermX® sales, particularly sales of consumable devices and equipment rentals.

Operating expenses of $9.7 million for the year ended August 31, 2013 increased by 13% compared with the year ended August 31, 2012.  Total cost of sales for fiscal 2013 was $2.3 million compared with $1.5 million for fiscal 2012, with the increase resulting primarily from increasing MicroThermX® sales.  Research and development expenses for fiscal 2013 of $2.3 million declined 3% from $2.4 million for fiscal 2012.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.4 million for fiscal 2013 compared with $6.2 million for fiscal 2012 with the increase due primarily to expanded MicroThermX® sales and marketing activities and support personnel and related operating expenses, with resulting MicroThermX® sales. 

The Company reported a net loss of $8.3 million, or $0.26 per share, for fiscal 2013, compared with a net loss of $8.0 million, or $0.27 per share, for fiscal 2012.
