Total revenues for the year decrease approximately 3.6% vs. prior year DENVER, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corgenix Medical Corporation (OTC:CONX) (BULLETIN BOARD: CONX) , a worldwide developer and marketer of diagnostic test kits, today filed its fiscal year Form 10-K and reported financial results. The report disclosed that the company's operating results have advanced for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Some of the results highlighted by the report are as follows: -- Total revenues for the year decreased $302,012 or 3.6% vs. the prior year. -- Total operating expenses decreased $107,869 or 2.2% vs. the prior year. -- Operating loss for the fiscal year was $349,490 vs. an operating loss of $602,279 for the prior year. -- Net loss for the year was $1,570,600 vs. $2,112,106 for the prior year. "While we were pleased with the improvement in operating income, net income and EBITDA this year due to our aggressive expense control program and the improvement in cost of goods, we were obviously disappointed with the decline in revenue," said Douglass Simpson, President and CEO of Corgenix. "In addition to the reduction of revenues from our contract manufacturing sector as previously reported, much of this was due to the impact of the overall global economy on our customers around the world as they tightened their expenditures and reduced their inventories." Mr. Simpson continued, "On the positive side, we will continue with our own belt-tightening as we move into the new fiscal year, and with the planned reduction in interest charges, will continue on the path to sustained profitability." The Company also indicated that it expects sales for fiscal 2010 to renew its previous growth trend.
