• Successfully Develops New Product HALO Rx™ For Full Operating Room use.
• Developed two new leasing programs for QVH, both Affiliate & 3^rd Party Sales.
• Ended Q1 2016 with Strong Cash & Available Credit facilities in spite of QVH R&D costs
• Significantly increased operational efficiency of Core business as seen by Improved top and bottom line, lower SG&A and strong increase in Gross Margins.
• Signed Strategic Marketing Agreement with Certified Colossus Expert Dr. Matthew DeGaetano and his Personal Injury Institute (PII) to both expand marketing reach of QVH and “Value Add” PII training to SPIN & QVH clients to accelerate and Increase PI Settlements.
• Added James Schwartz, experienced Sales & Marketing Rep as QVH North East  Manager of Sales & Marketing.

Dr. Donovan, Chairman CEO stated; “After eight consecutive quarters of losses which coincide with Management’s decision to cease doing business in Florida and McAllen TX, causing the loss of over 70% of SPIN’s revenue base at the time, along with the beginning of upgrading & certifying QVH for 3^rd party sales. Management is pleased to report positive earnings for Q1 2016. This turning to profitability is particularly noteworthy in that it was accomplished before the first sales of any 3^rd Party QVH programs, proving that the core Business Model of Financing Personal Injury cases, particularly when paired with the internal Affiliate QVH 3.0, is the excellent business model we envisioned. We expect cash from QVH sales will now be the driver to fulfil and accelerate our long awaited vision of SPIN delivering exceptional growth to its shareholders.” Donovan went on to say; “I strongly suggest shareholders and other interested parties, particularly Personal Injury Attorneys and Doctors, to participate in our Conference Call, or if not possible, view the video replay on our website after the fact. Aside from meeting our new N.E. Manager of Sales & Marketing , the highlight of our call is our special guest, long time Houston based SPIN client and advocate, PI Attorney, Larry Tylka. We have provided additional information on the two below:

About James Schwartz- Jim, who joined the Company in April is based in the SE Pennsylvania and will initially be servicing the US NE Corridor. He is a Temple University Graduate with over 20 years as a Sales & Marketing Rep. He has an extensive background in External Sales of Products & Programs specifically addressing areas of interest to SPIN and QVH, to include: Personal Injury and Liability insurers as a top rep for Judicate Inc., an Arbitration & Mediation Services Company in the 1990’s working in Southern California. In early 2000’s he Joined CardioReady setting up its PA, NY and NJ territory selling Defibrillators. Moving on in the late 2000’s where he became PA Territory Sales Manager for Align Tech’s Invisalign brand where he reached “Presidents Club” status, selling and training Doctors and Staff. Most recently he was Territory Sales Manager for Transformation Enzymes, Inc. for Mid-Atlantic Region Educating and selling their Enzyme Products specifically to Chiropractors. 

Jim, who with his family are long time significant shareholders of SPIN, came to us once the QVH received its final certification.  His excitement for our QVH, long sales and training experience mainly in and to our Specific Markets along with historical knowledge of our products made him a “natural” to “kick-off” our National Sales Effort. You will get to meet Jim on the Conference Call today.

About Larry Tylka Esq. -Additionally on the Conference Call, we are extremely happy to have Larry Tylka, a well-known Houston area Personal Injury Attorney who has been a long time attorney client of SPIN and strong advocate for our QVH and the Colossus™ software education and training we provide our medical and legal clients. He will address how the addition of SPIN’s Products and Services can increase settlements and judgements.  What makes Larry's perspective even more compelling is that he started his legal profession as a Defense Attorney specifically representing PI Liability Insurance carriers before switching to the Plaintiff side.    

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three month period ended March 31, 2016 with the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

We recorded $1,162,621, in gross revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016, offset by $495,357 of the expected settlement discount resulting in net revenue of $667,264.  For the same period in 2015, gross revenue was $877,231, offset by $460,933 of standard allowance for discount, resulting in net revenue of $416,298.  Revenue was positively affected by higher revenue collection percentage of 52% vs 48% last year and more volume in 2016 due to the Tyler location not being open in the first quarter of 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we managed four spine injury diagnostic centers: Houston, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; Tyler, Texas and Odessa, Texas.  Service cost was $228,310 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $180,966 for the same period in 2015. The increase in service cost is attributable to the higher case volume since we added the Tyler location in 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred $366,513 of operating, general and administrative expenses compared with the $482,013 for the same period in 2015.  Operating, general and administrative expenses were lower for the 2016 quarter compared to 2015 primarily because of a reduction in legal expenses, payroll expenses, consulting fees, and marketing expenses totaling approximately $122,000. The higher costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were mostly incurred in connection with the commercialization of the QVH. We also spent $6,149 in research and development costs as compared to $82,468 in 2015.  Overall, we had $110,519 in non-cash operating charges in 2016 compared to $132,222 in non-cash operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of $53,159 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $345,866 of net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
