- POAI has recorded a revenue of $1,252,272 in the year 2020 relative to its revenue of $1,411,564 for the previous year. The majority of POAI’s revenue was because of the Skyline division in addition with Helomics generating $64,188 and $48,447 in revenue in the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
- In 2020, the gross profit margin was 64%, up 2% from the previous year. Our margins improved in 2020, owing to the higher cost of sales attributable to sales in the Skyline Medical market. Average cost increased marginally as a result of the lower number of units sold. In 2020, operating expenses decreased by $608,422 to $2,351,709, down from $2,960,131 in 2019. Lower labor costs and employee stock option vesting expenses counteract higher costs associated with cloud computing, resulting in a reduction in operations expense in 2020.
- Sales and marketing costs fell as well, from $1,912,899 in 2019 to $584,937 in 2020. Almost all of these expenditures were linked to the Skyline Medical Company. The decline in 2020 was due to a strategic decision to concentrate on the precision medicine market rather than investments in the Skyline Medical business.
- During the year 2020, we lost $12,876,498 due to goodwill impairment. In 2019, we reported impairment charges of $8,100,000 on goodwill and $770,250 on intangibles, respectively.
