"Our second quarter sales results were lower than we expected due to a temporary delay in receiving re-registration approval in China for our products," stated Zackary Irani, Biomerica CEO. "However, the re-registration approval is now complete and we will be shipping orders to China in the third quarter. We also anticipate sales in China to increase through the balance of the fiscal year. Our European sales remained strong during both the first and second quarter aided by our new multinational pharmaceutical distributor that has over $40 billion in sales and employs over 70,000 people worldwide. While our research and development spending was up by over 65% for the six month period in fiscal 2015, we are very excited about the market possibilities for our new gastroenterology product which is now patent pending. The product could make a significant difference for the up to 58 million Americans who suffer from gastrointestinal issues in one form or another that our technology addresses."
