Executive Summary
- Q2 revenue was $0.22M, down 30.9% year over year and down sequentially from $0.27M, as international sales paused and the team ramped commercial capabilities ahead of FemaSeed U.S./EU commercialization .
- Net loss widened to $4.68M, with EPS of ($0.21) vs ($0.22) a year ago; operating expenses rose 47.2% YoY driven by sales & marketing investment (+656.6%) to build a commercial team and launch readiness .
- Balance sheet: cash and cash equivalents were $13.53M with management stating runway into July 2025; however the 10-Q explicitly raises substantial doubt about going concern absent additional financing .
- Strategic/regulatory: EU MDR certification and CE Mark for FemaSeed, FemVue, FemCerv, and FemCath; U.S. commercial team completed; prioritizing U.S. efforts while identifying EU distribution partners—a near-term commercialization catalyst .
- Consensus estimates from S&P Global were unavailable; third-party coverage flagged an EPS miss vs -$0.17 and revenue miss vs $0.78M, but these are not SPGI figures (S&P Global consensus unavailable).

Management Commentary
- “We believe that our novel fertility solution FemaSeed®, which demonstrated pregnancy rates more than double the historic intrauterine insemination (IUI) pregnancy rates for male factor infertility… is an improved alternative and a viable option prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF)… As we await announcement of published data for the FemaSeed prospective multi-center pivotal trial, we are actively prioritizing our U.S. efforts and concurrently identifying strategic distribution partners in Europe.” — Kathy Lee‑Sepsick, CEO .
- “The end of 2023 marked a significant milestone… FDA clearance of FemaSeed… topline data… 24% of women in the severe male factor cohort became pregnant… majority… after the first FemaSeed procedure.” — Kathy Lee‑Sepsick, CEO .
Q&A Highlights

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Commercial inflection approaching: U.S. commercial team is in place, and FemaSeed sales are expected to commence in 2H 2024—watch for sequential sales lift and initial reorder patterns .
- EU beachhead secured: MDR certification and CE Marks for four products enable EU marketing; near-term EU distribution agreements could broaden revenue channels .
- Operating leverage timing: S&M investment surged for launch readiness; monitor opex normalization versus ramping gross profit as sales scale (gross margin ~67% in Q2) .
- Liquidity is the swing factor: Cash $13.53M with runway into July 2025 but substantial doubt clause underscores the need for financing or faster commercial traction to mitigate dilution risk .
- Clinical/commercial catalysts: Publication of FemaSeed pivotal data, FemBloc trial enrollment and interim milestones, and EU/U.S. partner wins are key narrative drivers .
- Geographic mix recovery: International sales paused in Q2; resumption with EU distribution partners would diversify and support growth into FY24/FY25 .
- Balance sheet watch: Convertible notes increase interest burden; observe accrued interest and potential warrant/ATM usage as part of funding strategy .
