Avalon GloboCare Provides Second Quarter 2018 Business Update; Reports 32% Increase in Revenues

 

FREEHOLD, NJ – August XX, 2018 – Avalon GloboCare Corp. (OTCQB: AVCO), a leading global developer of cell-based technologies, today announced financial results and provided a business update for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

 

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights: 

Revenues increased 32% to $496,093 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018;

Cash at June 30, 2018 was $3.6 million;

Formed joint laboratory with top-ranked hospital in Shanghai for regenerative exosomics;

Appointed Former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Dr. Tevi Troy to Board of Directors;

Formed joint venture with Jiangsu Unicorn to establish provincial network of translational cellular therapy and bio-banking programs;

Appointed Senior Healthcare Executive William Stilley to Board of Directors

 

David Jin, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and President of Avalon GloboCare Corp., commented, “We continue to make rapid progress towards the advancement of our cell-based therapies and exosome technology platform. Notably, we have formed a strategic partnership with the Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, a top-ranked medical institute in China and the Asia Pacific region, renowned for its plastic and reconstructive surgery specialty. This strategic partnership with the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital is the first of its kind in establishing an innovative, state-of-the-art joint laboratory in regenerative exosomics. The joint laboratory will utilize Avalon’s proprietary exosome isolation system to in order to accelerate the development of diagnostic and therapeutic applications particularly in the areas of plastic/reconstructive surgery, wound healing, skincare, and exosomic bioinformatics. In addition, we have formed a joint venture with Jiangsu Unicorn Biological Technology Co. Ltd to establish provincial network of translational cellular therapy and bio-banking programs. A major initiative of this joint venture is to establish the world’s largest aqueous humor derived exosome bio-bank to advance the next-generation of diagnosis and therapeutics for ophthalmologic diseases. Through this provincial network of translational programs, we are able to further strengthen our leadership role and capabilities in order to accelerate our growth and development in regenerative medicine and cellular therapies.”

 

“Throughout the second quarter of 2018, we continued to move forward towards a NASDAQ uplisting by appointing prominent independent board members, Dr. Tevi Troy and William Stilley. Dr. Tevi Troy brings extensive government relationships and experience in the healthcare industry that will aid in accelerating the development of our cell-based therapies and exosome technology platform. William Stilley is the perfect fit to chair our audit committee as he brings valuable operational, financial and strategic experience, including product licensing, partnering, financing, and M&A. We are also pleased to announce that we completed a $2.1 million financing with strategic investors in August 2018, which further strengthens our balance sheet and shareholders’ equity in advance of a listing on a national exchange.” concluded Dr. Jin.

 

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 were $496,093 versus $374,751 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase in revenues was due to property rental income, development services and sales of developed products. Operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $1.2 million versus operating loss of $0.4 million for second quarter ended June 30, 2017, which reflects increased SG&A expenses to support the anticipated growth, as well as an increase in public company expenses in advance of the planned listing on a national exchange. Net loss attributable to Avalon GloboCare Corp. common shareholders for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $1.3 million or ($0.02) earnings per share, versus net loss attributable to Avalon GloboCare Corp. common shareholders of $0.4 million or ($0.01) earnings per share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.
