Avalon GloboCare Reports 75% Increase in Revenue for the Year Ended 2017
Shareholders' Equity Increased by $4.3 Million to $7.9 Million
FREEHOLD, NJ -- (Marketwired) -- 03/13/18 -- Avalon GloboCare Corp. (OTCQB: AVCO), a leading global developer of cell-based technologies, today announced financial results and provided a business update for the year ended December 31, 2017.
David Jin, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and President of Avalon GloboCare Corp., stated, "2017 was a very exciting year for Avalon as we laid the foundation in our efforts to become a significant player in the cell therapy and regenerative medicine markets. I am pleased to report the acquisition of the executive center property in Freehold, NJ, which houses our headquarters. This new facility is an important step in our overall strategy to build a global network of healthcare facilities that will both generate immediate cash flow and provide a network to support the roll-out of our planned cell therapies and related services. As a next step in our growth strategy, we acquired a controlling position in a Beijing exosome technology company, GenExosome Technologies Inc. (GenExosome), to pursue the global advancement of exosome technology for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. GenExosome's Exosome Isolation Systems were designed for use by researchers for biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostic development, as well as the advancement of targeted therapies."
"Last month, we announced that we have formally launched GenExosome's U.S. operations, with plans to market and distribute our proprietary Exosome Isolation Systems from the new headquarters in Ohio. We also announced plans to develop proprietary diagnostic and therapeutic products leveraging this breakthrough exosome technology. We believe our proprietary Exosome Isolation System is a disruptive and enabling technology that could transform the "liquid biopsy" and regenerative medicine markets by making exosome-specific diagnostics and therapies more readily available and commercially viable. Specifically, this technology enables us to capture exosomes quickly and efficiently from a tiny volume of any bodily fluids. Our studies have shown that our proprietary isolation system is more efficient and effective than what is available today, with faster extraction and higher purity results. Our current focus is on the development of diagnostic products in the fields of oncology, infectious diseases and fibrotic diseases, as well as the discovery and development of therapeutics based on disease-specific exosomes. We currently have four patents in China and we have several patents pending in the U.S. One of our goals in 2018 is to further expand our intellectual property protection," continued Dr. Jin.
"Importantly, we have strengthened our balance sheet with shareholders' equity increasing to $7.9 million at the end of December 31, 2017 compared to shareholders equity of $3.5 million at the end of 2016. We believe the increase in shareholders' equity brings us closer to achieving our goal of listing on a senior national stock exchange. We are constantly looking to grow through viable acquisitions and uplisting to a national exchange will provide us a stronger platform for acquisitions, while increasing our visibility within the investment community," concluded Dr. Jin.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $1.1 million versus $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in revenue was due to the executive property acquisition completed in 2017. Operating loss for the year December 31, 2017 was ($3.9) million versus operating income of $76,933 for year ended December 31, 2016, which reflects increased SG&A expenses to support the anticipated growth, as well as an increase in public company expenses in advance of the planned listing on a national exchange. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 was ($3.5) million or ($0.05) earnings per share, versus net income of $55,581 or $0.00 earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016.
