If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $4.7 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2015. Navidea’s revenues for the first quarter of 2016 consisted of $3.8 million in sales of Lymphoseek, $254,000 from Lymphoseek license agreements, and $686,000 from various federal grants and other revenue, compared to $1.8 million, $83,000 and $190,000, respectively, for the same period in 2015.

 

Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $6.8 million compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2015. Research and development expenses were $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $4.0 million during the same period in 2015. The net decrease from 2015 to 2016 was primarily a result of reductions in NAV4694, NAV5001 and Lymphoseek product development costs coupled with reduced headcount and related support costs, offset by increased therapeutics product development costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of the first quarter 2015 reduction in force, offset by the implementation of an internal sales force.

 

The financial results described above are preliminary, have not yet been fully reviewed by our new auditors and are subject to change in connection with the completion of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
