Swissray 'Riding High' with First FDA Approval for Digital
X-Ray Technology Says Medical Trade Press

PR Newswire - November 26, 1997 14:12

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Swissray International, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SRMI) became "the first manufacturer to win approval for its digital
x-ray technology" and expects to be the focus of the medical imaging industry
on the eve of the Radiological Society of America (RSNA) meeting in Chicago
November 29-December 4.
"Swissray is... walking the walk into commercial reality," said the
November 26 edition of Medical Imaging News, one of the medical industry's
most respected trade publications. Medical Imaging News stated that Swissray
is the first manufacturer to win FDA approval for its direct digital x-ray
technology with the November 24 announcement of 510(K) approval of Swissray's
CCD-based digital x-ray detector, the AddOn-Bucky (TM).
Medical Imaging News also stated, "Swissray was the first digital x-ray
vendor to submit its technology for regulatory approval when it filed in
January." "After several years' worth of talking the talk, it appears that
digital radiography is on the verge of walking the walk into commercial
reality," the publication declared.
"Swissray... will be riding high with its recent FDA approval," Medical
Imaging News predicted. "Expect digital x-ray, short-bore magnets and
improved efficiency and upgrades for exiting technologies to get a lot of air
time at this year's RSNA meeting in Chicago," the publication said.
The November 26 publication also included a story about Swissray's
anticipated FDA approval to sell a full digital x-ray system. FDA approval is
still pending, although Swissray expects it to be forthcoming shortly.
"This is an important step on the way to market our direct digital
technology in the U.S. market, which is the world's largest market," said
Ruedi G. Laupper, Swissray Chairman and President.
"An estimated 65-70 percent of all imaging procedures performed in the
U.S. use projection systems for image capture. Worldwide, an estimated
200,000 x-ray systems are installed, with 100,000 in the U.S.," Medical
Imaging News reported. "Swissray is already selling digital x-ray systems in
Europe, with the first system installed in September in Switzerland and others
being installed in Holland and Germany," the publication reported.
Swissray plans to market the AddOn-Bucky in the United States as part of
its AddOn-Multi-System, a complete multifunctional digital X-ray system which
performs most general X-ray applications. FDA approval for the complete
system is pending. "As all other components of the AddOn-Multi-System have
already received FDA approval, we expect that market approval for the entire
system should be forthcoming shortly," said Michael Baker, Chief Executive
Officer of Swissray Information Systems, who is supervising the FDA approval
process for Swissray.
Swissray International, Inc. is an innovative developer and manufacturer
of X-ray technology and systems. The company is a pioneer of direct digital
radiography (ddR) technology and is, with its unique product line, becoming
one of the leaders in digital X-ray systems.

known and unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors not under the

of the company to be materially different from the results, performance or

SWISSRAY INTERNATL INC files 0930 qtr 10-Q.

IFN Smart Edgar News - November 14, 1997 17:08

Excerpted from 10-Q filed on 11/14 by SWISSRAY INTERNATIONAL INC:

SWISSRAY INTERNATL INC files 0930 qtr 10-Q. Reports $5.2 mil tot rev and $-0.01 EPS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales amounted to $5,258,903 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $2,467,175, an increase of $2,791,728, or
113.15%, from the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase in
net sales was partially due to the acquisition of Empower on April 1, 1997. The
Company could also increase sales in Swiss Francs made under the Philips OEM
Agreement by approximately 252%.

Gross profit increased by $667,894, or 52.3%, to $1,945,812, for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1997 from $1,277,918 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues
decreased to 37.0% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 from
51.8% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in gross
profits as a percentage of net revenues is attributable to the fact that the
Company's Swiss subsidiaries consistently allocated direct labor and
manufacturing overhead expenses to costs of goods sold. For the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996, consistent with Swiss accounting practice such
subsidiaries only allocated cost of material to cost of goods sold, whereas
labor and overhead expenses were allocated to operating expenses.

Operating expenses increased by $78,505, or 3.7% to $2,186,097, or 41.5%
of net revenues, for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997, from
$2,107, 592, or 85.4% of net revenues for the three-month period ended September
30, 1996. The single largest items of operating expenses continued to be
officers and directors compensation and salaries of $717,412 or 13.6% of net
sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $629,375
or 25.5% of net sales for the three-month period ended September 1996. Selling
expenses

were $488,031 or 9.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997
compared to $194,379 or 7.8% for the three-month period ended September 30,
1996. The increase in selling expenses was partially due to the selling expenses
attributable to Empower, Inc. and Swissray Medical Systems, Inc., both of which
were not subsidiaries of the Company during the three-month period ended
September 30, 1996. Research and development expenses decreased $25,683 to
$473,839 or 9.0% of net sales for the three-month period ended September 30,
1997 compared to $499,522 or 20.2% of net sales for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1996. Research and Development expenses were partially
attributable to the development of a new floating table.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company on September 30, 1997 increased by $2,661,902
to $27,014,817 from $24,352,915 on June 30, 1997, primarily due to the
increase of Current Assets. Current Assets increased $2,846,847 to $16,940,193
on September 30, 1997 from $14,093,346 on June 30, 1997. The increase in
current assets is primarily attributable to the increase in cash. Other Assets
decreased $236,792 to $5,686,160 on September 30, 1997 from $5,922,952 on June
30, 1997.
