What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Revenue rose 32% YoY to $496,093 as the company added development services and product sales, alongside higher rental revenue .
- Strengthening strategic pipeline: established a regenerative exosomics joint laboratory with Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital and formed a JV with Jiangsu Unicorn to build a provincial cellular therapy and bio-banking network; CEO: “This strategic partnership…is the first of its kind…in regenerative exosomics” .
- Capital and governance steps toward uplisting: added independent directors (Dr. Tevi Troy, William Stilley) and raised equity; “completed a $2.1 million financing with strategic investors in August 2018, which further strengthens our balance sheet…in advance of a listing on a national exchange” .
-
What Went Wrong
- Operating loss widened to $(1.21)M vs $(0.39)M in Q2’17 as professional fees, compensation, and other G&A scaled with public company readiness and expansion; professional fees were $593k in Q2 vs $173k in Q2’17 .
- Net loss increased to $(1.34)M vs $(0.43)M in Q2’17, including a ~$107k FX transaction loss, underscoring exposure to RMB volatility and cross-border operations .
- Continued dependence on related-party consulting revenue (e.g., Daopei-affiliated entities) presents concentration risk; Q2 consulting revenue from related parties was $142k, with the 10-Q highlighting related-party ties and segment dependence .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
No Q2 2018 earnings call transcript was found in the document catalog (no “earnings-call-transcript” returned). Themes below derive from the Q2 press release, Q2 10-Q, and prior filings.
Management Commentary

Q&A Highlights
- No Q2 2018 earnings call transcript was available; therefore, no Q&A themes or clarifications could be extracted from a call recording/transcript (no transcript found).
Estimates Context
- We attempted to retrieve S&P Global consensus for Q2 2018 revenue and EPS, but the data were unavailable at the time; as a result, we cannot provide a beats/misses assessment versus Street estimates (S&P Global data unavailable).
- Given the microcap nature and limited analyst following, consensus coverage appears sparse; investors should anchor on actuals and management’s strategic milestones .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Topline expanded 32% YoY to $0.50M, reflecting new development services/products and steady rental income; however, scale remains small and quarterly mix can shift with related-party consulting activity .
- Operating leverage is negative near term: professional fees and stock-based comp tied to public company readiness and growth elevated operating loss to $(1.21)M, implying continued funding needs absent step-change in revenues .
- Balance sheet improved with ~$5.06M net equity raised in Q2 and additional post-quarter financings; loan maturity extended to 2020, reducing near-term refinancing pressure .
- Strategic pipeline advanced (regenerative exosomics lab, Jiangsu Unicorn JV) and post-Q2 CAR-T partnerships (Weill Cornell; Arbele LOI) enhance medium-term optionality if execution translates into revenue-generating programs .
- Absence of formal guidance and limited consensus coverage increase uncertainty; near-term trading likely driven by uplisting progress, partnership conversions, and financing cadence rather than quarterly beats/misses .
- Concentration risk remains (related-party consulting revenue) and FX exposure is non-trivial (Q2 FX loss ~$107k); diversification of revenue sources will be a key de-risking milestone .
- Actionable: monitor forthcoming JV milestones, any commercialization updates for exosome products/services, and SEC/NASDAQ listing steps; watch operating expense trajectory versus revenue scale to gauge path to sustainable funding .
