MedMira, Inc. : MedMira Reports First Quarter Results

Halifax, Nova Scotia, January 27, 2012 - MedMira Inc., (MedMira) (TSXV: MIR), a developer of rapid diagnostic technology and solutions, reported today on its financial results for the three month period ending October 31, 2011.

"MedMira experienced an increase in overall sales revenue for the first quarter due to sales growth in the Asia Pacific region.  The major source of growth for this region was in China with the Company's strategic business development and manufacturing partner, Triplex International Biosciences Co., Ltd.," said Hermes Chan, CEO, MedMira Inc.  "Together with Triplex we are gaining momentum in China, particularly in the public health sector.  The performance and quality found in MedMira products is becoming a critical factor in many of the recent Triplex wins."

Chan continued, "Business development initiatives continue to advance at various rates in many other markets including the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.  However, the ongoing delays in some public tender processes in African have created extended sales cycles and other regions remain challenging and unpredictable.  Even with these market conditions, MedMira and its partners are making positive steps forward and using various strategies to reach short-term and long-term sales success."

Financial Highlights

The Company recorded revenue from product sales of $234,773 as compared to $176,861 for the same period last year.

The revenue increase was primarily attributable to the Company's increased sales in Asia Pacific during the first quarter.   The Company recorded revenue from Asia Pacific product sales of $99,133 as compared to $221 for the same period last year.

Gross profit for the quarter was $146,479 compared to $85,771 in the same period in 2010.

Total operating expenses increased to $682,759 in the quarter ended October 31, 2011, compared to $535,662 during the same period in 2010.  The increase in operating expenses resulted from increased labor costs, regulatory and professional fees, and research and development costs incurred as part of the US military project.
