Financial Results for the third Quarter 2015

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were $132,841 compared with $153,424 for the same period of 2014. Without taking into account the effect of the exchange rate variation, total revenues decrease by 16%, to US$102K for the third quarter of 2015 compared with US$121K for the same period of 2014. This decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in PCA3 European royalty revenues as compared to the same period in 2014.

Operating expenses decreased by $250,683, to $406,846 for the third quarter of 2015 from $657,529 for the same period of 2014. This decrease is mostly attributable to the operating expenses reduction implemented in the first quarter of 2015 and to the completion of the multicenter prospective study of the new multi-markers prostate cancer test. Total operating expenses decreased primarily as a result of the following:

• Research and development expenses, net of investment tax credits, decreased by $186,149, to $121,145 for the third quarter of 2015 from $307,294 for the same period of 2014. This decrease in research and development expenses is attributable to the completion of the new multi marker prostate cancer test multicenter prospective study.
• General and administrative expenses, decreased by $63,455, to $242,205 for the third quarter of 2015 from $305,660 for the same period of 2014. This decrease is attributable to the operating expenses reduction announced in October 2014 and to reduction in professional fees.
• Selling and business development expenses increased by $4,548, to $50,572 for the third quarter of 2015 from $46,024 for the same period of 2014.
• Financial revenues decreased by $5,064, to $2,907 for the third quarter of 2015 compared with $7,971 for the same period of 2014.
