Vision-Sciences, Inc. Announces $7.7 Million in Revenue for the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2011
ORANGEBURG, N.Y., February 9, 2011 – Vision-Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:VSCI) today announced results for its third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2011, ended December 31, 2010. For the third quarter of fiscal 2011, net sales were $2.7 million, a sequential increase of $0.4 million, or 17%, from the second quarter of fiscal 2011, ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to higher sales of our urology endoscopes and EndoSheath® disposables, our ENT (“ear, nose, and throat”) endoscopes, and increased repair, peripheral and accessory sales. These same revenues represent an increase of $0.1 million, or 4% from the third quarter of fiscal 2010, ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to higher sales of our urology endoscopes and EndoSheath disposables. Pro forma for the exclusion of sales to Medtronic, which, effective April 1, 2010, no longer served as our distributor of ENT endoscopes, net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 represented an increase of $1.1 million, or 66%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, net sales were $7.7 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 13%, over the first nine months of fiscal 2010, primarily due to lower sales of our ENT fiberscopes as a result of the end of our distribution agreement with Medtronic. Pro forma for the exclusion of sales to Medtronic, net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 represented an increase of $2.6 million, or 52%, over the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
Loss from operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $2.4 million compared to $3.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $0.8 million. Loss from operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $7.7 million compared to $8.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $1.1 million.
Warren Bielke, our interim Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are pleased with our third quarter and first nine month results for fiscal 2011 relative to the same periods in fiscal 2010, pro forma for the exclusion of Medtronic. Sales growth of 66% for our third quarter and 52% for our first nine months reflect our success in driving top-line revenue growth and improving our margins without the benefit of the Medtronic distribution agreement, which ended April 1, 2010. We are also continuing to add new teaching hospitals and academic institutions to our customer base and gaining traction in the markets in which we operate, as evidenced by our sequential revenue growth of 17%.”
Mr. Bielke continued, “We are very excited about our urology supply agreement with Stryker, which covers our fiber and video cystoscopes, urology EndoSheath technology, and ureteroscopes. During March, domestic product launch will begin under the supply agreement. We believe this agreement will drive our urology sales and allow us to focus on increasing sales of our airway-related products, including our bronchoscopes, trans-nasal esophagoscopes, and related EndoSheath technology and ENT endoscopes. We will also focus development on our spine video endoscopes, which will be used to give direct visualization to surgeons during minimally invasive spine procedures.”

With respect to ENT and TNE, our net sales decrease in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to lower sales of our ENT fiberscopes to Medtronic of approximately $0.8 million. As announced on February 11, 2010, Medtronic no longer serves as the distributor for our ENT endoscopes effective April 1, 2010. Within the ENT area, we manufacture ENT endoscopes and, for the past three years, had sold these scopes exclusively to Medtronic. Since April 1, 2010, we have sold our ENT endoscopes through our direct sales force in the U.S. and through distributors internationally.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Vision-Sciences’ condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Vision-Sciences provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance, specifically non-GAAP sales, excluding sales to Medtronic.
Vision-Sciences’ reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Vision-Sciences’ current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes due to the discontinuance of our distribution relationship with Medtronic.
Specifically, Vision-Sciences believes the non-GAAP sales provide useful information to both management and investors by isolating sales from continuing major relationships. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures is included in this press release.
Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical information provided, the matters discussed in this release include forward-looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor protections under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as Vision-Sciences or its management “believes,” “expects,” “allows,” “anticipates,” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements in this release that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions, or goals are also forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. Other risk factors are detailed in our most recent annual report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments.
