LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nxt-ID,
Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD) (the "Company" or "NXT-ID"), provider of
personal emergency response systems (PERS), health communications
devices and IoT technology, announced financial and operations
results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended
September 30, 2021.
Chia-Lin Simmons, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the third quarter of
2021, we continued working towards establishing a solid foundation
for future growth. In this respect, we obtained shareholder
approval for a reverse stock split in October, enabling us to
remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"). We view this
as a vote of confidence by our shareholders that we are steering
our company in the right direction."
"Along with our recent financings, we now have additional runway
to continue developing our product, client and revenue base. And we
are also in discussions regarding partnership opportunities to
bring technologies to market in new and innovative ways. In
fact, this past quarter, we filed two provisional patents in the
fall detection category, good examples of the innovative IP
solutions that we hope to bring to market."
"We recently made the decision to close our Connecticut corporate office and consolidate
corporate functions into our Louisville division office, an opportunity to
further rationalize our cost structure. Discussions are also
continuing with various candidates to help build our management
team's capabilities and in this respect, we hope to make
announcements in the near term." concluded Ms. Simmons.
