HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/30/16 -- MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSX VENTURE: MIR), reported today on its financial results for the three month period ending October 31, 2016. Revenues decreased in the first quarter of FY2017 compared to the first quarter of FY2016 due to the conclusion of a development contract which had generated significant service sales for the Company.

Q1 FY2017 Financial Highlights

--  The Company recorded revenue in the quarter totalling $212,245, which
    included product sales, related royalties, and service sales, as
    compared to $1,613,544 for the same period last year. The decrease of
    $1,401,299 in revenue was primarily due to the $1,294,692 expected
    decrease in service revenue as the U.S. military product development
    contract concluded in the third quarter of FY2016.

--  MedMira's revenue from product sales and related royalties in the
    quarter was $212,245 as compared to $318,852 for the same period last
    year. This decrease in product revenue by 33% was due to a streamlining
    of the Company's U.S. sales channels in order to maximize operational
    efficiency, improve speed-to-market for product fulfilment, and support
    the distributors' sales success in the U.S. Gross profit on product
    sales for the quarter was $119,602 (56%) compared to $243,727 (76%) in
    the same period in 2016.

--  Total operating expenses were $827,081 during the quarter compared to
    $1,295,721 in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in operating
    expenses of 36% is due to the Company's cost saving strategies
    implemented in FY2016.
