Bull points
- As John mentioned, we saw sequential revenue growth of 62%, which was largely driven by substantial increase in our distributor sales, which were made up of 147% or $101,000 sequentially and up to 24% or $33,000 versus the same year ago quarter.
- Given the many operational changes and new marketing and sales staff onboarding processes during the quarter, we were pleased to keep revenue fairly even for the quarter versus a year ago. So we expect future quarters to be much stronger versus prior periods, now with these expanded new teams in place.
- Our net loss improved to $2.2 million, or 11 cents a loss per share, basic undiluted share, from a net loss of $3.7 million, or 28 cents a share, per basic undiluted share in the same year a quarter ago.
