This is driven by our focus on both customer satisfaction and client retention. We continue to attract new clients with revamped marketing, new corporate infrastructure, new sales and new service innovation. During the third quarter our revenue was essentially flat over same quarter of 2016. In addition, our efforts to streamline the business and more effectively manage our costs structure resulted in an operating loss improvement of $539,000 from the third quarter of 2016. TOMI is still waiting for all the efforts put into the regulatory approvals in the Asian markets to reach materiality.”
Dr. Shane continued, “Our strategy remains to take advantage of the positive business momentum and strong sales pipeline emerging in 2018. Our operational results are not reflective of the true momentum of our business. We anticipate improving our financial results going into next year by focusing on exceeding customer expectations while attracting new clients to our technology by using our marketing, sales and innovative capabilities.”
