FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SANUWAVE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS
ALPHARETTA, GA, November 14, 2012 – SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (OTCBB: SNWV) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and provided a business update.
Kevin A. Richardson, II, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SANUWAVE, said, “I am very pleased that we have been able to reduce the Company’s cash burn while making sure we do not affect the value of the business or our capability to start up and conduct our next dermaPACE® study to treat diabetic foot ulcers. We are taking additional cost cutting measures in the fourth quarter of 2012 that will reduce further the Company’s expenses not related to the upcoming dermaPACE study.”
“The Company is working with select accredited investors to raise up to $1.25 million in capital in a private placement. The accredited investors will receive a convertible promissory note that will convert, at the Company’s option, at the completion of a larger funding that is expected to close no later than the first quarter of 2013,” concluded Mr. Richardson.
Barry J. Jenkins, Chief Operating Officer of SANUWAVE commented, “As previously announced, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted conditional approval of our Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Supplement to conduct an additional clinical trial utilizing our dermaPACE device in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. We estimate the clinical trial could be completed and submitted in support of a PMA application for dermaPACE in as early as 20 months from trial initiation, assuming such data to be collected meets the agreed upon statistical and clinical plan of success. We have already identified clinical study sites and are in the process of contracting with them for participation. Patient enrollment is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2013 once Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals and the appropriate funding to conduct the study are in place. We remain focused on achieving FDA approval as soon as possible in order to make dermaPACE available to the millions of U.S. patients who suffer from these debilitating diabetic foot ulcers.”

Third Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $178,256, compared to $161,678 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $16,578, or 10%. The increase in revenues is primarily due to increased sales of refurbishment applicators for devices due to the increased number of devices in use in 2012, as compared to 2011.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $440,193, compared to $623,318 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $183,125, or 29%. Research and development expenses in 2012 decreased due to lower expenses for clinical results analysis and clinical related expenses as compared to same period in 2011.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $977,859, compared to $1,493,963 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $516,104, or 35%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a reduction in headcount (18 employees in September 2012 as compared to 29 employees in September 2011), decreased investor relations expenses and decreased legal costs for patent defense activities.
The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,447,271, or ($0.07) per share, compared to a net loss of $2,071,539, or ($0.10) per share, for the same period in 2011, a reduction in the net loss of $624,268, or 30%.
Nine Month Financial Results
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $627,153, compared to $577,180 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $49,973, or 9%. The increase in revenues is primarily due to increased sales of demonstration devices and refurbishment applicators to European distributors in 2012, as compared to 2011.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $1,391,634, compared to $2,167,735 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $776,101, or 36%. Research and development expenses in 2012 decreased due to lower expenses for clinical results analysis and clinical related expenses. Consulting expenses related to clinical results analysis were higher in 2011 as the Company prepared for the submission to the FDA in June 2011 of the dermaPACE PMA for treating diabetic foot ulcers.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $3,252,127, compared to $4,386,538 for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $1,134,411, or 26%.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $4,707,212, or ($0.23) per share, compared to a net loss of $7,827,072, or ($0.41) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a reduction in the net loss of $3,119,860, or 40%.

The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities for 2012, as compared to the same period for 2011, of $3,447,880, or 49%, was due to reductions in headcount, operating expenses and clinical expenses in 2012 as well as a reduction in current liabilities in 2011. Net cash provided (used) by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $(3,399) and $12,367,455, respectively, which in 2011 consisted of the net proceeds from the private placement of $8,467,121 and the exercise of unit options of $3,900,334.
