LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 19, 2013) - Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTCBB: DECN) the exclusive worldwide sales, service and regulatory processes agent for the popular Shasta GenStrip™, the unique Green Glucose Test Strip, specifically designed to work with the Johnson & Johnson’s (NYSE: JNJ) LifeScan Ultra family of glucose testing meters, today announced that that the Company has closed its agreement for a $12.5 million revolving credit line from Alpha Credit Resources, LLC, a division of Platinum Credit Management LP of New York, NY.
The company also announced that the new $12.5 million credit line will be equity free (no share dilution) and when matched with the company’s current 1.8X sales turns per month (velocity), this credit facility will finance company sales of its GenStrip product line through $250+ million annually. Finally, the company announced that it is in discussions with Platinum to fund the prosecution of the company’s Anti-trust lawsuit against J&J/Lifescan.
“This credit line provides substantial resources for the Company to initiate our aggressive and time sensitive GenStrip business strategies,” commented Keith Berman, DECN’s Principal Officer, CFO and the GenStrip Program Director. “We want to make it clear to our shareholders, and the investing public, that our commercial lender Platinum Credit Management does not view Decision Diagnostics as a small business.”
Mr. Berman continued, “We are in final discussions to back up our new $12.5 million credit line with an additional line to fund the company’s prosecution of J&J/Lifescan. As many are aware, judgments in Anti-trust suits can include awards of triple damages. Litigation prosecution pools are very popular instruments, often only available to the largest of companies or those with the strongest of cases to prosecute.”

Mr. Berman continued, “DECN never had to turn to stock market arbitrages such as equity lines of credit, equity participation agreements or any other type of toxic financing to secure this $12.5 million line of credit. In fact there is no on-going equity provision period. With the significant revenue streams GenStrip will produce, when coupled with our renewed access to $12.5 million of growth capital, we are now well positioned to complete the launch of GenStrip and embark on our two missions, branding GenStrip and defeating J&J/Lifescan in court.
