"The decline in our revenues continues to demonstrate the weakness in our contract manufacturing sector as previously reported," said Douglass Simpson, President and CEO of Corgenix. "Excluding contract manufacturing revenue, our six month revenues declined approximately 3.5% over the same period in the prior year which we believe is largely related to the slowdown of the overall economy. We are continuing to aggressively seek opportunities to grow our business in contract manufacturing as well as our core products including the AspirinWorks Test."
