Sangui BioTech:

- Sales of USD 35,508 in the first half year
- Costs and loss is further reduced

Witten, February, 24 2017: In the first six months of fiscal year 2017 (to 31/12/2016) Sangui BioTech International Inc. achieved revenues from royalty income and product sales of USD 35,508. In the same period of the previous year the comparable revenue amounted to USD 26,856. Due to increased revenues of the wound spray Granulox, the resulting royalty income in the first half year increased by 32% compared to the same period of the previous year. After a cautious first quarter, especially a strong end-of-year business was responsible for this development.

The cost - cutting - and liability - protection program adopted during the last year also had an effect in the reporting period: In the first half of the year, operating business expenses were reduced by a further USD 22,752 or 8% to USD 253,465. As a result of this, the operating loss of the first half year decreased compared to the prior year by USD 30,975 to USD 218,615. Accordingly, the cash position of the Company during the reporting period improved.

The sales of Granulox are subject to seasonal fluctuations. As in previous years, a strong year-end business was pleasing. As planned, sales of Granulox and royalty income in the following quarter will not reach the level of the previous quarter. For the full year 2017, however, the company is still expecting the increase in sales of Granulox and corresponding royalty revenues.
