Management Commentary: Richard Ransom, President, stated, "I am once again pleased with our performance and execution during the second quarter. This was our first full period of operations since the acquisition of the no!no! brand and other assets from Photomedex. We have integrated the assets onto our existing platform and remain focused as we look to leverage our two flagship brands for expanded distribution. Our 89% increase in revenue during the first half of 2017 vs. 2016 is a reflection of our talented team that I am extremely proud of today. I would like to reiterate our expectations for 2017 revenue to more than double from the $16.8 million we reported in 2016."

"During the second quarter, we continued to grow our retail presence with either new or expanded rollouts at Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond, as well as Shopper's Drug Mart and Jean Coutu in Canada, amongst others. Our executive team recently initiated a goal to be in over 30,000 retail doors worldwide by the end of 2018. Additionally, our live television distribution channel remains strong both in the U.S. and overseas. We continue to see compelling opportunities for both Dermawand and our no!no! brands."

"We are excited about the second half of 2017 and look forward to sharing more details in the near term as our products and distribution platform continues to expand worldwide."

Reported Financial Results: Second Quarter 2017 Compared to Second Quarter 2016: Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were approximately $7.95 million, compared to approximately $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we generated approximately $6.2 million in gross profit, compared to approximately $3.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as a result of the addition of the no!no!™, Kyrobak™ and Cleartouch ™ products acquired in January 2017. Gross profit margin was 78% in the second quarter 2017 compared to 70% in the prior year quarter. The increase in gross margin percentage can be attributed to a higher percentage of sales generated directly, as opposed to selling through third parties, both domestically and internationally. Total operating expenses increased to approximately $6.5 million from approximately $3.8 million during the second quarter of 2016. The largest factor is an increase in media expenditures. Media expenditures were approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, internet marketing expense which increased to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from approximately $252,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as well as payroll expenses increased to $704,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $386,000 during the three ended June 30, 2016, as a result of additional employees from the PhotoMedex acquisition.

Net loss for the second quarter was approximately $375,000, compared to a net loss of approximately $601,000 in the prior year quarter. The resulting EPS is ($0.01), as compared to ($0.02) in the comparable quarter a year earlier. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was approximately $70,000 as compared to approximately ($440,000).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $15.6 million, increasing from $8.3 million in the prior year period as a result of the addition of the no!no!™, Kyrobak™ and Cleartouch ™ products acquired in January 2017.

Gross margin percentage was approximately 75% and 69% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Total operating expenses increased to approximately $12.4 million from approximately $6.4 million during the second quarter of 2016. This increase in operating expenses relates primarily to the PhotoMedex acquisition. The biggest increase was media expenditures which was approximately $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition to media expenditures, there was an increase in internet marketing expense of $1.5 million to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
