SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BSD Medical Corporation BSDM (Company or BSD), a leading provider of medical systems that utilize heat therapy to treat cancer, today reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter of 2015 ended November 30, 2014.

Total revenues were $843,168 for the first quarter ended November 30, 2014, a decrease of 37% compared to total revenues of $1,330,645 for the three months ended November 30, 2013. Product sales in the three months ended November 30, 2013 included significant stocking orders from Terumo for MicroThermX® systems. The decrease in product sales revenues was partially offset by modest increases in sales of MicroThermX disposable devices and service contracts and other revenues, along with increases in rental of MicroThermX systems on a fee per use basis. During the three months ended November 30, 2014, BSD recognized partial revenue on one hyperthermia system. By comparison, during the three months ended November 30, 2013, BSD sold two hyperthermia systems.

Total gross margin was $392,339, or approximately 47% of total revenues, for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and $691,333, or approximately 52%, for the three months ended November 30, 2013. The decrease in gross margin and gross margin percentage in the three months ended November 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2013 resulted primarily from the decrease in product sales. 

Operating expenses increased to $2.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 from $2.2 million for the comparable period last year. Research and development expenses declined to $469,719 for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, from $502,757 for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 increased to $1,951,373 from $1,704,713 for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.05 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

As of November 30, 2014, BSD had cash and cash equivalents of $6.2 million and no long-term debt.

Effective November 10, 2014, BSD's Board of Directors appointed Clint Carnell, 45, President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Board of Directors.  In a series of investor and analyst meetings being held this week in the San Francisco Bay Area, Carnell discussed his 60-day assessment of BSD and immediate change in direction for the Company. Going forward, BSD will focus on microwave ablation and plans to exit its hyperthermia business in 2015.

Subsequent to the end of the fiscal first quarter, the Board of Directors of BSD changed the Company's fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31, beginning December 31, 2014. The report covering the Company's transition period ended December 31, 2014 will be filed on Form 10-K.
