DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Corgenix Medical Corporation (OTCBB: CONX), a worldwide developer and marketer of diagnostic test kits, today reported preliminary revenue results for the first quarter (ended September 30, 2014), which came in at approximately $2.2 million versus approximately $2.9 million for the same quarter in the previous year. In addition, due to the lower revenues and the expenses related to the pending strategic merger with Orgentec Diagnostika, the Company incurred a net loss for the period of approximately $770,000 versus net income of approximately $84,000 for the same quarter in the previous year.
“The first quarter weakness resulted from a slow down in demand from a major customer for our Aspirin Works product and contract manufactured end products,” said Douglass Simpson, Corgenix President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Company also incurred approximately $600,000 in expenses associated with its review of strategic alternatives and definitive agreement to be acquired by Orgentec Diagnostika.”
The Company expects to release its complete financial results for the recently ended quarter on or about November 7, 2014.
