Sangui BioTech International Publishes Preliminary Figures for First Half YearAccording to preliminary unaudited figures, Sangui BioTech International Inc. achieved revenues from royalty income and product sales in the amount of approximately $ 27,000 in the first half of its fiscal year 2016 (Dec. 31,.2015). The development of royalty income can be described as positive. Due to increased sales of the wound treatment product Granulox the resulting royalties increased in the second quarter by 28% as compared to the first quarter. This development reflects the successful efforts of the licensee, SastoMed GmbH, to obtain reimbursement commitments from relevant health insurance companies for costs caused by the prescription of Granulox, particularly in Europe. The adopted cost-cutting - and liquidity-protection program has been implemented successfully in the second quarter of the fiscal year. After complete implementation costs in a significant amount will be saved per annum. Accordingly, the breakeven point will be reached considerably earlier. Shareholders' equity of SastoMed GmbH was strengthened at the end of December 2015 by a capital increase by the majority shareholders. Due to the fact that Sangui BioTech GmbH has not exerted its subscription rights, the participation rate of Sangui BioTech GmbH of originally 25% was significantly reduced by the capital incrase. Sangui BioTech GmbH sold its stake in SastoMed GmbH to the co-shareholder at the end of 2015. The persisting licensing agreement between Sangui BioTech GmbH and SastoMed GmbH is not affected by this sale. This above-mentioned first capital increase contributes to further expand the sales and marketing activities of SastoMed GmbH for its wound treatment product Granulox at home - and abroad. This measure will have positive effects on the Sangui BioTech GmbH prospective accruing royalties. Sangui BioTech International, Inc.
