AMDL's President and CEO Mr. Gary Dreher credits the Company's strong revenue growth to consistent execution on key business initiatives, including the successful marketing, sales, and expanded distribution of high profit products that include the Goodnak(R) anti-aging product line, Domperidone anti-emetic product and various off-label pharmaceuticals. Strong sales of these products have driven AMDL's year-over-year revenue growth by more than 100%, specifically in the past 24 months. The Company has also hit key business milestones over the past 12 months that position the Company for continued growth. This includes success in obtaining regulatory approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) for the AMDL ELISA DR-70(R) (FDP) cancer test.
"Sustaining high revenue growth over five years is an exceptional accomplishment, particularly for an emerging company such as AMDL," said Rob Lucenti, Managing Partner, Orange County Practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "We commend AMDL for having shown the strength, vision and tenacity to succeed in today's very competitive life sciences environment and is proud to honor them to Deloitte's Technology Fast 50."
Mr. Gary Dreher, president and CEO of AMDL commented, "Making this list is a tremendous honor for AMDL and a reflection of the hard work and commitment of our China and US-based teams. Our combined efforts have driven the major advancements in our business and subsequently our strong financial performance; and we're focused on continuing the positive path we've paved which includes achieving our targeted sales goal of $26 million in sales in the second half of this year and $38 million for fiscal year 2008."
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2003 and $5,000,000 in 2007, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology.
