I see a lot to be happy about in the 98Q2 results. For the first time ever, product sales revenue (645K) exceeded manufacturing expense (593K). If sales volume continues to increase, average syringe price continues to rise, and manufacturing unit costs continue to decrease, profitability may not be far away.

Unit sales of syringes are very encouraging. The following numbers are for boxes of 100 syringes sold on a quarterly basis:

Qtr - Sold AvgPrice
97Q1 - 2062 $54
97Q2 - 4146 $55
97Q3 - 3303 $59
97Q4 - 2394 $55
98Q1 - 3611 $57
98Q2 - 8765 $60

Of course, Q2 is where most of the flu shot sales are realized. At the annual meeting, I had a discussion with Mike Redmond (VP Sales and Marketing). He told me their marketing efforts with other public health programs (besides flu shots) are starting to show positive results. He said that he was shooting for 700K product sales for Q3 and Q4, and thought that that could be done. For product sales to continue to expand in Q3 and Q4 would be a fantastic development!
