SCOLR Pharma, Inc. Nutritional Product Update and 2010 Sales Revenue Outlook
BOTHELL, Wash., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SCOLR Pharma, Inc. (NYSEAMEX: DDD) today announced that it will be unable to meet its previously-issued 2010 revenue expectations with respect to sales of its new line of extended-release nutritional products. The revenue outlook for 2010 was based on the expected shipment of SCOLR products to certain large accounts which place orders three times a year based on a shelf planning cycle. Due to delays in product availability, SCOLR will be unable to meet the second of these scheduled review cycles and will not be able to ship products to these large accounts in 2010.
Stephen J. Turner, SCOLR's President and CEO, stated, "We are disappointed that we missed the mid-year purchasing cycle for several large national retailers as a result of product availability. These issues have been, or will be, resolved in advance of the next purchasing cycle and we look forward to a successful launch of our branded nutritional products business. We are confident that our potential customer base remains unchanged and that demand for these novel products is expected to remain high. We are gratified that our customers remain enthused and we look forward to building on this interest as we grow this proprietary franchise of extended release supplements."
Mr. Turner continued, "The company's goal is to focus on successfully launching these new products and utilize the revenues to fund our other product development programs. We continue to be encouraged about the opportunity our extended-release nutritional supplements will provide."
