"Aptilon intends to further expand adoption and usage of our platforms across a variety of healthcare users, clients and brands in the year ahead. With the explosion of tablets and smartphone mobile devices, now more than ever, clients rely on Aptilon to provide targeted HCPs access from any channel to any selected content or representatives, anywhere, at any time on any device," he added.

Financial Review 2010

For the year ended December 31, 2010, revenue increased by 111% to $33.5 million compared to $15.9 million in 2009.

Gross margin for 2010 increased by 103% to $20.9 million compared to $10.3 million in 2009. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, gross margin was 62% compared to 65% for 2009.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses for 2010 were $5.5 million or 16% of revenue, compared to $3.5 million or 22% of revenue in 2009. G&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for executive management and administrative personnel, related office premises, and other infrastructure support costs. Increases were generally attributed to the full year inclusion of DMD, assets purchased in September 2009, in the 2010 results. Stock-based compensation of $0.3 million in 2010 is also included in G&A. 

Sales and marketing expenses for 2010 increased to $7.9 million compared to $5.7 million in 2009 primarily as a result of the DMD asset purchase completed in the third quarter of 2009. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries (including commissions and bonuses) and related costs associated directly to sales and promotion activities.

Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.2 million ($0.00 per share) reversing a net loss of $2.7 million ($0.02 per share) in 2009 as the result of increasing revenue and improved operating efficiencies and larger base of clients. The net earnings of $0.2 million in 2010 include over $6.4 million of non-cash items (amortization, stock-based compensation and accretion expense).

The Company had 192,943,365 common shares outstanding at December 31, 2010.

Financial Review Fourth Quarter 2010

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $8.8 million, an increase of 39% from $6.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase is attributable to organic growth of all business units.

The gross margin of $6.0 million in the fourth quarter represented 68% of revenue, slightly higher than the preceding three quarters of the year due to the revenue mix.

G&A in the fourth quarter of 2010 increased by 59% from the same period in 2009, from $1.3 million to $2.0 million. The increases in G&A and expenses experienced in the quarter were primarily due to the DMD acquisition completed in the third quarter 2009. Sales and marketing expenses also increased in the quarter, from $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 to $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Net earnings increased by $1.6 million, reversing a net loss of $1.2 million in the final quarter of 2009 to net earnings of $0.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Grant of Options to Outside Directors

Aptilon also announces that it has granted a total of 250,000 stock options to its five external directors under its stock option plan, at an exercise price of $0.155 each. These options will expire on April 29, 2016. Of these options, 1/12 will vest on each quarterly anniversary of the date of the grant over a total period of three years.
