HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/28/16 -- MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSX VENTURE: MIR) reported today on its financial results for the quarter and year ended July 31, 2016.

Financial Highlights

--  The Company recorded revenue in the year ended July 31, 2016 totalling
    $2,256,832, which included product sales, related royalties, and service
    sales, as compared to $4,052,341 for the same period last year. The
    decrease of $1,795,509 in service revenue was primarily due to the
    $1,626,477 expected decrease in service revenue as the U.S. military
    product development contract concluded in the third quarter of FY2016.

    ended July 31, 2016 was $962,140 as compared to $1,130,419 for the same
    period last year. This slight decrease in product revenue by 15% was due
    to the Company's strategic focus in the U.S. market, which resulted in
    an increase in the Company's profit margin by 10%. Gross profit on
    product sales for the year was $677,236 (70%) compared to $688,170 (60%)
    in the same period in 2015.
--  The Company's revenue from service sales for the year ended July 31,
    2016 was $1,294,692 as compared to $2,921,169 for the same period last
    year. Gross profit on service revenue was $342,059 (26%) compared to
    $492,196 (17%) in the same period in 2015. The Company earned revenue
    and gross margin from the product development contract with the U.S.
    military.
--  Total operating expenses increased to $5,498,157 during the year
    compared to $3,921,841 in 2015. The increase of operating expenses is
    attributed to the increased R&D costs associated with the Company's
    Reveal G4 FDA approval and pending approvals.
