Liquidity and Capital Resources
The company's cash balance on March 31, 2010 was approximately $1.22 million. On March 31, 2010 Dehaier had short-term debt of $879,006 consisting of a final loan payment to a bank, which is due on May 20, 2010. The company had no long-term debt. Working capital was $6.75 million. Stockholders' equity totaled $11.08 million. The current ratio was 1.96, up from 1.87 at December 31, 2009.
Chen Ping, Dehaier's Chief Executive Officer, said, "The first quarter of 2010 has been an exciting period for Dehaier Medical Systems as we prepared for our Initial Public Offering on Nasdaq of 1,500,000 ordinary shares. The IPO closed on April 22nd and the management team has been invited to ring the bell at Nasdaq in early July. We are looking forward to visiting New York and meeting with analysts and portfolio managers to tell the American investment community about Dehaier.
"For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our total revenues increased by approximately 5% to $2.64 million from $2.52 million for the first three months in the prior year. Many of our end users such as hospitals became repeat customers when they needed new medical equipment, demonstrating the increased acceptance of our products among hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
"To strengthen our market presence, we plan to open new Customer Experience Centers in China. These centers will give our potential customers an opportunity to experience our products first-hand in an environment that is similar to the environment in which they will use the products, whether that is a home or healthcare facility. We anticipate using a portion of the net proceeds of the IPO to expand our marketing efforts in order to continue to grow our revenues in China and internationally.
"Our selling expense decreased in both U.S. dollars and as a percentage of our total net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to decreased spending in expanding our distribution network built in 2009.
"In the near term we will be introducing new products to the market which we plan to promote through a variety of advertising methods," said Ping.
