CHARLESTON, SC--(Marketwire - February 03, 2010) - Revolutions Medical Corporation (“RevMed” or the “Company”) (OTCBB: RMCP), producers of the RevVac safety syringe, RevColor, RevDisplay and Rev3D MRI Technology, today provided a recap of important milestones achieved in 2009 and offered a corporate outlook for 2010 through the following open letter to shareholders:
From the Desk of RevMed CEO Ron Wheet
Dear RevMed Shareholders,
This last year was truly a watershed one for RevMed, and it has brought us a great distance towards the commercial launch of the RevVac safety syringe, and the subsequent launch of our revolutionary suite of color MRI software. Consistent with our commitment to proactive investor communication, we would like to recap the past year and provide a brief outlook for 2010.
Fiscal Year 2009
This last year saw horrific market conditions, a plague of business failures and consumers everywhere tightening their belts. Yet the medical industry continued to expand. Revolutions Medical not only weathered the storm but was successful in raising capital and meeting its short term operational objectives. We reached the tipping point of launching our two core recurring revenue business lines. We believe we have laid the foundation in 2009 to achieve profitability in our first full year of distribution and sales; we began the transition from a company developing products to one manufacturing and distributing potential market game-changers, and to a company poised to generate real revenue and earnings.
Looking briefly to 2008 and continuing through 2009 we have achieved the following:
-- Ascended to the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and acquired 100% of Clear Image Acquisition Corporation, the developer of our MRI software technology -- To date, approximately $3 MM has been invested toward RevColor and Rev 3D MRI product development -- To date, approximately $3 MM has been invested toward the RevVac Safety Syringe product development -- Received FDA 510K clearance for the RevVac safety syringe -- Launched the initial steps of RevVac manufacturing process for the 3ml safety syringe -- Forged a distribution partnership with Libra International in South America -- the first of many targeted worldwide syringe markets -- Began cultivating relationships with more than 50 distributors worldwide and now will initiate the process of signing distribution agreements with those that fit our criteria to distribute our products -- Introduced the MRI suite of products on the imaging technology and software world stage at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago -- Signed RevMed President Tom O’Brien, acclaimed pioneer in MRI sales/marketing and the former CEO of private and public medical companies, to a 3-year employment agreement -- Opened our new corporate office at: 670 Marina Drive, Third Floor Charleston, SC 29492 -- Appointed distinguished law firm Anslow & Jaclin, LLP as legal counsel, represented by firm partner Joseph M. Lucosky, Esq. -- Hired the accredited accounting firm Elliott Davis LLC -- Engaged Cirrus Financial Communications as our external Investor Relations Officer; for all investment-related inquiries please contact Cirrus Managing Partner Justin K. Davis at: (877) 307-RMCP (7627) Justin.Davis@CirrusFC.com
