The Company’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $5.8 million, or $0.17 per share on a non-diluted basis. This included approximately $0.3 million in non-cash income related to the revaluation of warrants issued in June 2011. In last year’s third quarter, the net loss was $4.2 million, or $0.13 per share. This included approximately $0.4 million in non-cash expense related to the revaluation of warrants issued in June 2011.
As of September 30, 2014, TearLab had $20.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.
“The third quarter is historically a seasonally weaker period in the eye care industry and, while our revenues continued to grow, we were not able to capture the full benefit from the changes we started to make at the beginning of the year,” commented Elias Vamvakas, TearLab's Chief Executive Officer. “Moving forward, we remain confident that we are on the right track and continue to be very excited about the growth opportunity we see ahead of us."
