Medipattern™ Corporation Reports Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal 2010 Ending March 31, 2010

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 27, 2010) - Attention: Business/Financial Editors

The Medipattern Corporation (“Medipattern”) (TSX VENTURE: MKI), a pioneer in the development of medical software solutions that help improve imaging workflow and productivity, today announced its business highlights and unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine-months ended March 31, 2010.

Jeff Collins, CEO of Medipattern stated, “Subscription fees for B-CAD-FOR-LIFE™ (BCFL) began to increase late in the quarter as some grace periods expired, but had no significant impact on quarterly revenues as product training continues and B-CAD™ becomes integrated further into our client work flows. Our current clients are extremely pleased with the efficiency and accuracy of the BCFL software service, with one major client transitioning to a completely paperless reporting system. Our current installed base includes several organizations that the rest of the imaging industry views as the lead for technologic innovation and process enhancement. We are beginning to see some very positive trends in the breast imaging space, including increased investment by OEM’s and end-users, which could positively impact our North American roll-out of BCFL.”

Financial Highlights of the Third Quarter:

 -- Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 rose 9% to $20,735 (2009 - $19,025) against a 77% decrease to $38,865 (2009 - $167,460) for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2010. 2010 licensing revenue of $38,865 comprised all revenues compared to $45,117 in 2009.

Expense reductions were the product of ongoing cost cutting measures including significant reductions in discretionary spending such as advertising, promotion, travel to conference and trade shows, contract fees and non essential salaries and benefits. For the 9 month period Research and Development expenses fell 38% to $717,518 (2009 - $1,154,560), Administration and Product Support decreased 26% to $819,451 (2009 - $1,112,736) and Sales and Marketing declined to $654,758 (2009 - $977,553) a 33% decrease. -- Resulting net loss for the third quarter of the current fiscal year was $680,615 ($0.01 per share) versus $883,253 ($0.02 per share) for fiscal 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, Medipattern reported a net loss of $2,193,529 ($0.04 per share) compared to 2009’s net loss of $3,048,920 ($0.07 per share); -- As at March 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $338,357, current assets were $743,279 (June 30, 2009 - $2,213,614) and current liabilities were $ 302,615 (June 30, 2009 - $351,745). During the third quarter of 2010, working capital decreased to $440,664 as a result of ongoing operating losses. On May 17, 2010, the Company closed a $1,800,000 Convertible Note financing to fund the ongoing North American roll-out of its B-CAD-FOR-LIFE™ software-as-a-service and continue the development and approval of Vascular iQ™. 

“Vascular iQ continues to be a focus of our R&D and product development team now that data collection is well underway. We will be showing an early version to our luminary group at the Society for Vascular Ultrasound Annual Conference held in Boston June 10- 12 and expect to submit the product later this year to the FDA for approval,” continued Mr. Collins.
