"I would rate this as the best year thus far in the company's history," said Douglass Simpson, Corgenix's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We're proud of our achievements and very excited about our prospects for significant growth in the upcoming first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2007 and in the remainder of the 2008 fiscal year."

With many one-time charges, especially during the first six months ended December 31, 2006, the 2007 fiscal year produced an operating loss of $858,104, compared with operating income of $335,117 for the prior fiscal year. The net loss for the 2007 fiscal year was $2,440,573, or $0.20 per share, compared with a net loss of $1,586,412, or $0.41 per share, for the prior fiscal year.

The net loss incurred during the 2007 fiscal year included a substantial increase in operating expenses, much of which were non-recurring expenditures due to the Company's headquarter head·quar·ter

On June 4, 2007, the Company announced that it had received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its AspirinWorks([R]) Test Kit, the Company's newest diagnostic product.

Thromboxane A2 is synthesized by platelets and is an inducer of platelet aggregation and platelet release functions and is a  B2 (11dhTxB2) in human urine, which aids in the qualitative detection of aspirin effect in apparently healthy individuals post ingestion.

More than one million Americans experience heart attacks each year. At risk individuals are eligible for aspirin therapy and should be tested for the presence or absence of the therapy's effect. The AspirinWorks test targets a potential U.S. market of over 60 million individuals and a potential global market exceeding 200 million individuals who take aspirin regularly.

In addition, Corgenix submitted a 510(k) Premarket Notification to the United States Food and Drug Administration United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA),

"We have made tremendous progress in moving several of our key products closer to market in the U.S. and internationally. We've also prepared ourselves logistically for expected significant worldwide growth with our recent expansion into new, state-of-the-art facilities," said Simpson. "We expect to see meaningful sales of AspirinWorks commencing in the third fiscal quarter beginning in January as more and more laboratories in the U.S. come on line.
