EYE DYNAMICS REPORTS BEST EVER 4th QUARTER
& YEAR-END FINANCIALS |
| TORRANCE, Calif.,
March 25, 2003: |
Eye Dynamics, Inc. (
EYDY,
Trade) achieved a 351% increase in
its 4th quarter sales revenue in 2002
compared to the same period of 2001
($760,000 vs. $216,000, respectively),
and an overall increase of 259% for
2002 compared to 2001 ($1,808,000 vs.
$698,000, respectively).
Also, for 2002, Eye Dynamics had a Net
Income of $150,824 compared to a loss
of $546,405 in 2001. This resulted in
earnings per share in 2002 of $0.01 as
opposed to a loss in 2001 of ($0.04)
per share.
The increase in sales is largely due to
success of the company's private label
(MEDTRAK) program for Video ENG
Systems, which accounted for 61% of our
revenue for year 2002. Eye Dynamics'
label ENG products sales also increased
in the 4th quarter and for the year,
even though the overall market for
traditional ENG is still rather flat
and not improving, as most sales are
replacement for older equipment as
opposed to new practices opening
up.
Eye Dynamics medical marketing success
comes from the company's focus on
developing new markets for the ENG
products, such as, mobile diagnostic
services and specialty services for ENG
equipment like MEDTRAK's balance and
fall prevention program. MEDTRAK
accounted for approximately 20% of the
company's ENG sales in 2001, but in
2002 accounted for 61% of sales.
MEDTRAK's success is due to aggressive
marketing, opening up new market
segments (Neurology market) and selling
a complete package, including
training.
Eye Dynamics gross profit for the 4th
Quarter declined from 54% to 50%
compared to the same period last year,
and for the fiscal year 2002 declined
to 52% from 57% in fiscal year 2001.
The decline in gross profit percent is
due to private label MEDTRAK products
becoming a greater percent of Eye
Dynamics' sales. According to Charles
Phillips, President of Eye Dynamics,
"The attendant marketing and other
expenses associated with distribution
are greatly reduced in the case of our
sales to MEDTRAK. So, the reduction in
gross profit percent is to be expected,
as the private label business becomes a
greater percent of our overall
business. However, total volume of
revenues is more than 2.5 times the
prior year, so gross profit dollars are
up substantially and contributing to
bottom line profits. Eye Dynamics'
relationship with MEDTRAK is solid and
both companies look forward to
continued success of the existing and
future product lines".
The Company is continuing to seek
funding to fully launch its
"Impairment/Performance" products, as
well as potential acquisitions to
bolster its medical product line. For
the year, four EM/1 Eye Observation
Systems were sold to the Department of
Forensic Sciences, State of
Alabama.
