COLUMBIA, MD and TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - March 24, 2015) -

Medifocus Inc. (OTCQX: MDFZF) (TSX VENTURE: MFS) (Medifocus or the Company) reported its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, sales were US $895,973, representing a decrease of 30% from the same quarter of 2013, but an increase of 40% from the previous three months ended September 30, 2014 following the restructuring of its Prolieve® business earlier this fall. In addition, operating expenses decreased by $213,576 to $1,251,560 in the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $1,451,136 in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Sales from its Prolieve® Thermodilatation System reached US $3,187,139 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of 14% from the same period of 2013. The net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 is $4,093,013, compared to a net loss of $4,037,750 in the same period of the previous year.

In August 2014, the Company re-examined its Prolieve® sales and costs structure and concluded that the Company must refocus the allocation of resources and improve the Prolieve® business’ operational efficiency. The Company has eliminated less productive sales positions, particularly in territories with high service costs. It has eliminated uneconomical remote accounts, reducing travel and servicing costs and improving gross margins. The Company is growing its customer base by using hybrid mobile service technicians to supplement the sales team.

Dr. Augustine Y. Cheung, CEO of Medifocus, commented, “Since we launched the Prolieve® restructuring program, we have reduced our operating costs and are seeing immediate but gradual recovery in revenue directly as a result of the impact of the restructuring. We will remain diligently focused on minimizing our operating expenses and improve gross margin in our effort to grow the Prolieve® business in a more efficient and sustainable manner.”
