CHESTER, NY / July 27, 2017 / Repro Med Systems, Inc. dba RMS Medical Products (OTCQX: REPR) today announced the latest financial results for the four-month period ending June 30, 2017.
This report encompasses the period since the Company’s fiscal year ending on February 28, 2017. To accommodate the change from fiscal year ending February 28 to a calendar fiscal year ending December 31, this report includes both a four-month period (ended June 30, 2017) and a three-month period (ended May 31, 2017). The Company will report one-time, transitional financial information for the month of March 2017 and the quarter April through June 2017 on Form 10-Q in August 2017.
5.6% Decrease in Expenses
| |
• | $2,778,112 as compared with $2,941,717 for the same period last year |
| |
• | Decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses were the result of a significant reduction in legal fees related to our litigation and FDA regulatory efforts. We are making every effort to manage the spend on professional fees while making sure we do whatever is necessary to achieve a positive outcome regarding our litigation and FDA matters. We also had reductions in sales and marketing driven by reduced recruiting, lower consulting fees related to website redesign last year, timing of spend this year on marketing initiatives and lower salary and related costs due to attrition. Offsetting these savings were increased costs in our regulatory department due to headcount to support our regulatory compliance requirements. |
March 1 – May 31, 2017

We continue to work with the FDA to resolve our regulatory matters. Andy Sealfon, RMS Chief Executive Officer commented, “The FDA renewed our Certificate to Foreign Government which is used to communicate to foreign governments that the FDA has certified that RMS meets good manufacturing practices and quality system regulations.”
