BRANFORD, Conn., Aug. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CAS Medical Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CASM) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2011, ended June 30, 2011. Worldwide FORE-SIGHT® Absolute Tissue Oximetry revenues increased to $1.8 million, or 30% over the second quarter of 2010.
Other second quarter highlights included:
- $15 million private placement transaction with Thomas McNerney & Partners
- A record sixty-one FORE-SIGHT monitors placed world-wide
- Domestic FORE-SIGHT disposable revenue growth of 50%
- Agreement executed with Medline Industries to distribute co-branded vital signs monitors
"The $15 million investment by Thomas McNerney & Partners in early June was a transformational event for the Company," said Thomas M. Patton, President and CEO of CASMED. "We now have the working capital we need to continue to invest in our growth plans without worries about liquidity and to capitalize on the market opportunities we see for our FORE-SIGHT Tissue Oximetry products."
For the second quarter of 2011, the Company reported total revenues of $5.7 million compared to $6.3 million in the prior year period. FORE-SIGHT Oximetry revenues were $1.8 million, up 30% over prior year and 14% over the first quarter of 2011. Domestic FORE-SIGHT disposable sensor revenues were up 50% over the prior year and 11% over the first quarter of 2011. The Company's worldwide installed base of FORE-SIGHT monitors increased by 61 monitors in the second quarter.
Traditional Monitoring revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $3.9 million, down $1.0 million from the prior year, due to discontinued products, the earlier loss of OEM license revenue and decreased international sales of vital signs monitors. Operating expenses for the second quarter were $3.8 million, up $0.7 million from the prior year, as a result of planned increases in R&D and Sales and Marketing, primarily related to the Company's Tissue Oximetry product line.
The net loss applicable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2011 was $1.4 million, or $(0.11) per basic and diluted common share, compared to net income applicable to common stockholders of $8,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2010.
"The FORE-SIGHT revenue growth rates continue to meet our expectations and we are pleased with our domestic sensor revenue gains in particular," said Mr. Patton. "We feel these gains reflect our increased investment in sales and marketing efforts over the past few quarters and show growing clinician acceptance of our best-in-class technology to improve patient care."
