SANUWAVE is using this occasion to announce SANUWAVE's expanded cooperation with Ortho-Medico to strengthen and expand our business in Europe.

"We have had another productive quarter, maintaining steady revenue growth over 2015 and acquiring funds to finance operations as we prepare for the fourth quarter and beyond," stated Kevin A. Richardson, II, Chairman of the board of SANUWAVE. "We continue to explore opportunities to expand our distribution of dermaPACE and orthoPACE to other countries around the world."

"We look forward to a positive response in the first quarter of 2017 from the FDA in support of our dermaPACE to treat diabetic foot ulcers. We will continue our search for a partner in a joint venture or partnership for commercialization on the product upon approval while also planning for a launch of the product on our own. We continue to work on a number of non-medical initiatives, which we will keep shareholders abreast of as they occur," concluded Mr. Richardson.

Third Quarter Financial Results

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $255,652, compared to $143,605 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $112,047, or 78%. Revenues resulted primarily from sales in Europe, Asia and Asia/Pacific of our orthoPACE device and related applicators. The increase in revenues for 2016 was due to higher sales of new orthoPACE devices and applicators in Europe and Asia/Pacific in 2016, there were seven new devices sold in 2016 and one new device sold in 2015.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $266,473, compared to $569,134 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $302,661, or 53%. Research and development expenses decreased in 2016 due to lower payments to third party clinical sites participating in the dermaPACE clinical study as the patient enrollment was completed in 2015 and lower consulting related costs as the data results were also completed in 2015.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $645,864, as compared to $778,679 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $132,815, or 17%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to reduced salary and related costs due to reduction in headcount in July 2015 and lower legal and investor relations fees and is partially offset by higher consulting fees related to preparation of taking dermaPACE to market upon possible FDA approval.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $1,139,810, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1,026,844, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2015, an increase in the net loss of $112,966, or 11%. The increase in the net loss for 2016 was primarily due to a loss on warrant valuations, increase in interest expense and offset by lower operating expenses as noted above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Financial Results

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $728,382, compared to $594,040 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $134,342, or 23%. Revenues resulted primarily from sales in Europe, Asia and Asia/Pacific of our orthoPACE device and related applicators. The increase in revenues for 2016 was due to higher sales of orthoPACE devices, there were thirteen new and two demonstration devices sold in 2016 and eight new devices sold in 2015. In addition, sales of new applicators, refurbishment of applicators and wound kits were higher as compared to 2015.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $1,052,595, compared to $1,660,546 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $607,951, or 37%. Research and development expenses decreased in 2016 due to lower payments to third party clinical sites participating in the dermaPACE clinical study as the patient enrollment was completed in 2015 and lower consulting related costs as the data results were also completed in 2015, and higher consulting expenses related to the pre-submission package to the FDA in 2016. This is partially offset by stock based compensation for options issued in July 2016 and higher travel and entertainment expense.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $1,734,891, as compared to $1,981,541 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $246,650, or 12%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to reduced salary and related costs due to of reduction in headcount in July 2015 and lower legal and investor relations fees and is partially offset by higher consulting fees related to preparation of taking dermaPACE to market upon possible FDA approval.
