“Over the past year we have experienced a slowdown in new project awards and delays in the initiation of new studies which has impacted our top line performance,” said Jeff Markin, president and chief executive officer of VirtualScopics.  He stated, “As a result, we have made and continue to make significant changes to our selling and operational processes which include the appointment of a new VP of Marketing and Business Development, the hiring of 2 new sales people covering the Western United States and Europe, along with certain procedural changes that enable our sales team significantly more face to face time with customers.” He added, “Although the amount of new project awards has been slower than we experienced in previous years, we have seen an increasing number of requests for proposals throughout 2012, from both the PPD channel and our direct sales efforts.  This activity was highlighted by an important multi-study program award with a top global pharmaceutical company that recently named VirtualScopics as a preferred provider.” He concluded, “We believe that the changes we are making to our sales team and our overall sales process coupled with the increases we are seeing in requests for proposals and our strategic alliance with PPD, will increase the level of business activity from what we have experienced over the past year.”

 

“In light of the softness in our revenues during 2012, we are continuing to actively monitor the necessary level of expenditures to support our current and anticipated business while also making the necessary investments in new market opportunities,” stated Molly Henderson, chief business and financial officer of VirtualScopics. “I’m confident that our cash position will enable us to invest appropriately in both the core lab and the personalized medicine businesses.” She added, “As such, we are working diligently toward the development of our personalized software applications and related FDA approval. We have initiated the hiring of personnel dedicated to this new business unit who will manage and accelerate our development in this emerging market.” She concluded, “Specifically, with regard to our 510k application to the FDA, we recently submitted our responses to the examiner’s questions and are confident as we near the final stages of the process.”

Jeff Markin and Molly Henderson will provide a business and second quarter 2012 financial update during the conference call this morning at 11:00 a.m. ET. Interested participants should call 877.407.8035 when calling within the United States or +1 201 689 8035 when calling internationally.

The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to GAAP regarding the Company's operational performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings less interest, taxes (if any), depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude stock compensation expense and the unrealized gain (loss) on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities (mark to market adjustment for warrants). This financial measure excludes the impact of certain items and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, however, may differ from methods used by other companies, and, as a result, Adjusted EBITDA measures disclosed herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company continues to provide information in accordance with GAAP. However, with the adoption of ASC 815-40 and the non-cash variable nature of stock compensation expense and their very substantial impact on the overall reported net income/loss, the Company believes it is also helpful for investors to receive additional information relating more specifically to the Company's operating results. Accordingly, the Company has presented Adjusted EBITDA which excludes the non-cash effects of ASC 815-40 and ASC 718 on its financial results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA (a) to evaluate the Company's financial performance, (b) to set internal spending budgets, and (c) to measure operational profitability. In addition, investors have requested these non-GAAP financial measures as a means of providing consistent and comparable information with past reports of financial results. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net (loss)/income.
