Akers Biosciences, Inc.

Financial Results for Third Quarter 2015

PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Tests Set to be in 250 US Hospitals by Year End

Akers Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKER) (AIM: AKR.L), ("Akers", "Akers Bio" or the "Company"), a medical device company focused on reducing the cost of healthcare through faster, easier diagnostics, reports its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Form 10-Q containing the financial statements for the third quarter - and nine months - ended September 30, 2015 will be available for viewing later today on the Company's website at www.akersbio.com or at www.sec.gov.

Q3 Highlights

· Product Revenue for Q3 2015 was $169,473 (Q3 2014: $359,980), reflecting lower than usual distributor stock depletion of PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid tests during the summer months - we believe demand will return to normal levels in Q4

· PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products now in over 200 US hospitals - and growing by approximately 20 new hospitals per month, each worth an annualised average of $15,000 per annum to Akers Bio

· Added further sales executives across the US to support distributors - Company now has 10 sales executives in the field which, together with the expanded head office personnel, has had a corresponding impact on the cost base

· Loss before income tax was $2,326,893 (Q3 2014: loss of $1,124,320), reflecting significantly expanded personnel costs, higher marketing costs associated with product launches, higher R&D costs associated with new product development and a one-off impairment ($466,476) of historic patents/trademarks no longer contributing to sales

· Cash and marketable securities at September 30, 2015 were $5,622,597 ($9,720,802 at December 31, 2014)

Raymond F. Akers, Jr. PhD, Co-founder and Executive Chairman, commented:

"Akers Bio's product revenues in the first nine months of the year were $1,325,877. This is primarily being driven by the growth in domestic sales of our flagship rapid tests for Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia - an allergic reaction to the widely used blood thinner, heparin. Sales of these products are up 9% in the year to date. In fact, Akers Bio now has over 200 hospital customers in the US using these tests out of the 2,500 large hospitals we are initially targeting. Each of our PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay hospital customers is worth an average of $15,000 to Akers Bio annually.

"On this basis, assuming these average metrics continue, annualized PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay product revenue for the US alone should be $3.75 million entering 2016. Furthermore, at the current growth rate, we believe we have the potential to be at close to 500 hospitals in the US by December 31, 2016. This would represent a significant milestone for Akers Bio as the US hospital base for PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products alone would substantially underpin the Company's overhead.

"In addition to the core domestic PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay business, the Company is making significant progress on its international strategy for these tests. We believe that China could ultimately become one of the Company's biggest ex-US markets for these tests and a huge advancement was made in the Chinese commercialization strategy when, earlier this month, the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) approved our tests for medical use throughout Mainland China. As a result, the Company is confident of a growing and material contribution to PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay revenues from NovoTek, our exclusive distributor for this product in Mainland China.

"Beyond the US and China, we have a growing network of distributors - currently totaling 27 - seeking to establish marketing channels for PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products in countries including within Europe and Scandinavia.

"Another area of significant progress during the third quarter was in the commercialization of our new breath tests designed for the health and wellness industry and consumers. We strongly believe that consumers are increasingly looking for personalized health information and that our BreathScan technology platform, which facilitates diagnoses through simple breath tests, will provide the footprint for the Company to enter into this new era of digital medicine.

"Our new health and wellness products, under the Akers Wellness line, are poised to make an impact as we commenced first production during the third quarter. The response to their launch has been overwhelmingly positive. In addition to selling through the Amazon Marketplace, we are in the advanced stages of appointing distributors to target multi-level marketing companies in the nutraceutical business, fitness and weight loss centers, chiropractors, and anti-aging medicine physicians.

Outlook

"Like many medical device companies in the early phases of commercialization, Akers Bio has yet to establish consistent ordering patterns with its customers. This was evident in the third quarter in the lower than usual distributor stock depletion of PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assays during the summer months which, in turn, reduced domestic product revenue for these products during the third quarter. However, I am pleased to say that our early sales figures indicate that demand in the US is returning to normal levels in the fourth quarter.

"We remain confident that the CFDA's approval of PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products in China will serve as a catalyst for further orders there from our exclusive distributor for these products prior to year-end. We believe these factors, combined with a resurgence of demand in the EU for alcohol breathalyzers, will deliver a significantly stronger fourth quarter than all three quarters of the year thus far.

"While we have good revenue visibility through the remainder of the year in the domestic PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay business, the overall outlook for the year is wholly dependent on the Company obtaining and fulfilling a number of substantial orders for these - and other - products from outside of the US in the remainder of the year. Without such sales, revenues would be materially below market expectations. Given the significantly increased cost base and other factors to affect the operating loss, such as the impairment of certain assets and a reserve for a past due receivable, regardless of the outturn in respect of revenues, we now expect to report a larger loss at the year end and a lower cash balance than previously expected. However, it should be noted that $2.4 million of the $5.7 million loss before income tax in the first nine months of the year is non-recurring.

"Beyond year end, assuming we continue to add hospital customers in the US for PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products at the same rate, we should be moving into 2016 with a core revenue base from these products in the US alone of $3.75 million; and, with further acceleration of this growth rate anticipated, be on a clear path to doubling that moving into 2017.

"Whilst trading for the first three quarters of the year has been disappointing, the core US PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay business, combined with the additional potential offered from international sales and from our Akers Wellness line, provides us confidence in the long term growth prospects of Akers Bio."

Conference Call Information:

Summary of Statements of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenue

Akers' revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $169,473, a 63% decrease from the three months ended September 30, 2014. The revenue decline is attributed to two factors; first, lower than usual distributor stock depletion of our PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products; and second, no licensing revenue was recorded during the three month period ended September 30, 2015 (2014: $93,333) following the cancellation of the License and Supply Agreement with ChubeWorkx Guernsey Limited ("ChubeWorkx") in May, 2015.

The table below summarizes our revenue by product line for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage of change year-over-year:

The Company's MPC product sales declined 37%. The decline is related to the irregular timing of orders from various distributors that purchase alcohol breathalyzers annually or semi-annually. The new distributor in the European Union ("EU"), which placed an initial order for 2,000,000 devices in June, 2015, did not request the release of any additional device shipments during the three month period ending September 30, 2015; however, the Company will release product as directed by the distributor over the next nine months. The Company launched its METRON disposable breath test for ketones on the Amazon Marketplace in the three month period ended September 30, 2015. While the METRON sales were small in its debut quarter, the Company believes that revenues will grow in the fourth quarter. The Company also expects to realize revenue from its BreathScan Lync health and wellness line in the fourth quarter.

Domestic sales of the Company's PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products, part of the PIFA line, declined 62%, primarily reflecting lower than usual distributor stock depletion of our PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products during the third quarter. Demand for these products is returning to normal levels in the fourth quarter and our distributors are returning to their usual purchasing patterns. The Company has expanded its sales and marketing staff to cover most of the United States, adding technical sales account executives whose role is to significantly support the sales representatives of Akers' US distribution partners, Cardinal Health ("Cardinal"), Fisher HealthCare ("Fisher") and Typenex Medical ("Typenex"). We expect to see the revenue benefits from the expansion of the sales and marketing staff as the additional sales executives become more involved with the distributor representatives in their sales regions.

International sales of the Company's PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products were still developing, but will be greatly enhanced with the recent approval of the product in China. This approval is expected to stimulate minimum purchase requirements with our distributor, Novotek, of approximately $1 million in 2015 and $6 million in 2016.

Other operating revenue increased due to a rise in miscellaneous component sales and shipping and handling fees.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by 10% to $177,952 (2014: $162,145). Direct cost of sales increased to 42% of product revenue while indirect cost of sales increased to 63% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 19% and 26% respectively for the same period in 2014.

Direct cost of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 were $71,722 (2014: 67,940). The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was related to direct personnel costs.

Indirect cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $106,230 (2014: 94,205). The increase is attributed to an ongoing project to improve the management, reporting and turn-over rate of our production inventory. The increase was mitigated by a reduction in indirect personnel expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2015. In addition, the percentage increase is affected by the fixed cost nature of many of the components in this category.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015, totaled $760,336, which was an 8% decrease as compared to $826,756 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The table below summarizes our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage of change year-over-year:

The decline in professional service costs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is related to a decrease in legal fees ($146,640 (2014: $297,232)) but was offset by increases in personnel recruiting and general consulting services ($61,292 (2014: $-)).

The increase in other general and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is due to a significant increase in travel costs associated with the stimulation of sales and marketing initiatives globally, including the Hainan-Savy Akers Biosciences joint venture in Mainland China.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $725,832, which was a 102% increase as compared to $358,650 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The table below summarizes our sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage of change year-over-year:

Personnel costs increased in the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to the expansion of the sales and marketing department from 3 employees at September 30, 2014 to 11 employees as of September 30, 2015.

Royalties and outside commission costs increased due to the accrual of a legal settlement liability of $75,000 (2014: $-).

Other sales and marketing costs increased primarily due to the increased travel by the expanded sales and marketing staff in support of our customer and distributor base.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $319,646, which was a 74% increase as compared to $183,886 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The table below summarizes our research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage of change year-over-year:

Personnel costs increased during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase is due to the addition of laboratory technicians and the promotion of a senior technician to provide technical product support to the Company's sales associates, distributors and end customers.

Clinical trial costs, professional service costs and other research and development costs have increased in the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to the significant costs associated with preparing several key products for market. Major expenses include engineering fees related to the development of molds for new products, development of the BreathScan Lync and associated apps for tablets and smartphones, new packaging design, testing and clinical trials.

The following table illustrates research and development costs by project for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

The Company performed a routine analysis of its intangible assets and determined that two patents and a trademark acquired in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 are no longer contributing to the Company's revenue flows and were therefore impaired for $466,476 (2014: $-) during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Other Income and Expense

Other income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $18,519 from $18,447 for the same period in 2014. Other income and expenses primarily consist of interest and dividend earnings on the marketable securities and the note receivable totaling $20,478 (2014: $19,469) and a loss on foreign currency transactions of $2,001 (2014: $1,022).

Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2015, the Company does not believe any uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Company's policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively in the consolidated statement of operations.

Summary of Statements of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Revenue

Akers' revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $1,646,443, a 45% decrease from the same period in 2014. Importantly, sales of the flagship PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products increased by 9% over the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The reduction in overall revenue resulted from there having been an initial stocking order for Tri-Cholesterol "Check" tests during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 which was not repeated in the nine months ended September 30, 2015; and from the impact on sales of BreathScan breathalyzer products following the French government's postponement, indefinitely, of the fine that was to be imposed for drivers failing to possess breathalyzers in their vehicles.

The table below summarizes our revenue by product line for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage of change year-over-year:

The Company's MPC product sales declined during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This reflects that during the same period of 2014, the Company received its last order from ChubeWorkx for the Company's alcohol breathalyzer product. The decline was partially offset by an initial stocking order from a new distributor in the European Union ("EU") for alcohol breathalyzers. An initial order for 2,000,000 devices was received and units began to ship in June, 2015. Additional shipments will be released as directed by the distributor over the next nine months. The company launched its METRON disposable breath test for ketones on the Amazon Marketplace in the three month period ended September 30, 2015. While the METRON sales were small in its debut quarter, the Company believes that revenues will grow in the fourth quarter. The Company also expects to realize revenue from its BreathScan Lync health and wellness line in the fourth quarter.

Domestic sales of the Company's PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products continue to grow. The Company has expanded its sales and marketing staff to cover most of the United States, adding technical sales account executives whose role is to significantly support the sales representatives of Akers' US distribution partners, Cardinal Health ("Cardinal"), Fisher HealthCare ("Fisher") and Typenex Medical ("Typenex"). We have begun to recognize the revenue benefits from the expansion of the sales and marketing staff and expect this to continue as the additional sales executives become more involved with the distributor representatives in their sales regions.

In fact, there are now over 200 US hospitals using our product, and we expect this number to a total close to 250 by the end of 2015. We are currently experiencing growth rates of approximately 20 hospitals per month, on average. Each hospital represents approximately $15,000 per annum in revenue net to Akers. On this basis, assuming these average metrics continue, by December 31, 2015, annualized PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay product revenue for the US alone should be $3.75 million entering 2016.

International sales of the Company's PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products were still developing, but will be greatly enhanced with the recent approval of the product in China. This approval is expected to stimulate minimum purchase requirements with our distributor, Novotek, of approximately $1 million in 2015 and $6 million in 2016.

There were no sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 for the Tri-Cholesterol "Check" tests, part of the REA line of products, which generated sales of $864,000 during the same period of 2014. The revenue generated in the 2014 sale of the Tri-Cholesterol "Check" tests was due to an initial stocking order from 36 Strategies General Trading, LLC to distribute the tests in Australia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. The Company continues to work with 36S to gain approval for the Company's Tri-Cholesterol product in Australia.

Other operating revenue increased due to a rise in shipping and handling fees, a result of the mix of domestic and international shipments and an increase in sales of miscellaneous components.

The Company's exclusive License and Supply Agreement with ChubeWorkx Guernsey Limited ("ChubeWorkx") for the Company's proprietary breathalyzer product was cancelled by both parties on May 7, 2015. As a result of this event, and per the terms of the original agreement, the Company recognized the remaining $166,667 of deferred revenue in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company is now able to solicit business outside the United States for its alcohol breathalyzer products and has begun to receive and ship orders.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased by 18% to $745,319 (2014: $907,876). Direct cost of sales increased to 26% of product revenue while indirect cost of sales increased to 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 22% and 12% respectively for the same period in 2014. Overall, cost of sales, as a percentage of product revenue, was 56% and 34% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Direct cost of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 showed an increase due to one significant event that occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2014; during prior periods, the Company had written-off its REA product inventory while it worked to develop a market and identify a distributor for the product line. As a result of this action, no significant cost of sales was associated with the REA product revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The increase in indirect cost of sales is attributed to an ongoing project to improve the management, reporting and turn-over rate of our production inventory which will be completed during the fourth quarter. The increase was mitigated by a reduction in indirect personnel expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In addition, the percentage increase is affected by the fixed cost nature of many of the components in this category.

Akers' gross profit margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 70% in 2014 for the reasons described above.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, totaled $3,205,300, which was a 28% increase as compared to $2,497,485 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The table below summarizes our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage of change year-over-year:

Professional services included significant increases in recruiting services and legal fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in recruiting fees are related to the expansion of the sales and marketing staff while the legal fees are associated with various corporate and legal affairs. Offsetting the professional service expenses was the elimination of management fees paid to Nicolette Consulting Group for services that were incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The Company recognized cost savings in all of its stock market and investor relations categories. These include consulting, investor relations, stock exchange fees and transfer agent fees.

The Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $864,000 for a receivable that was due June 30, 2015 after receiving communications from the customer that indicated a high level of risk of collectability in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This allowance is reflected in the other general and administrative expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $1,854,623, which was a 92% increase as compared to $966,357 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The table below summarizes our sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage of change year-over-year:

Personnel costs increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to the expansion of the sales and marketing department from 3 employees at September 30, 2014 to 11 employees as of September 30, 2015.

The increase in professional service costs is for international sales consultants and domestic marketing consultants to assist in the development of new market opportunities and to increase our market penetration in our existing markets; and web designers to assist with the design and implementation of a new internet presence.

Royalties and outside commission costs increased due to the accrual of a legal settlement liability of $75,000 (2014: $-).

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $1,003,445, which was a 46% increase as compared to $686,376 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The table below summarizes our research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage of change year-over-year:

Personnel costs decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued stock options to key employees, where during the same period of 2015, no costs were incurred which was offset by increased due to the addition of laboratory technicians and the promotion of a senior technician to provide technical product support of the Company's sales associates, distributors and end customers.

Clinical trial costs, professional service costs and other research and development costs have increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to the significant costs associated with preparing several key products for market. Major expenses include engineering fees related to the development of molds for new products, development of the BreathScan Lync and associated apps for tablets and smartphones, new packaging design, testing and clinical trials.

The following table illustrates research and development costs by project for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

The Company performed a routine analysis of its intangible assets and determined that two patents and a trademark acquired in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 are no longer contributing to the Company's revenue flows and were therefore impaired for $466,476 (2014: $-) during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Other Income and Expense

Other income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $87,728 from $56,719 for the same period in 2014. The increase is the result of interest and dividend earnings on the marketable securities and the note receivable totaling $89,647 (2014: $49,176) and was partially offset by a loss on foreign currency transactions of $7,971 (2014: gain of $2,874).

Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2015, the Company does not believe any uncertain tax positions exist that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Company's policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively in the consolidated statement of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company generated a net loss attributable to shareholders of $5,734,921 and $2,230,708, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $90,599,007 and $84,864,086 and had cash totaling $393,272 and $455,841, respectively.

Currently, our primary focus is to expand the domestic and international distribution of our PIFA Heparin/PF4 rapid assays. The Company's secondary focus is preparing for the launch of our health and wellness product line linked to smartphones and tablets. The Company continues commercialization tasks for METRON as well as development activities for its PIFA PLUSS® Infectious Disease single-use assays, BreathScan® DKA, and Breath PulmoHealth products, including advancement of the steps required for FDA clearance or CE marking in the EU where necessary.

We expect to continue to incur losses from operations for the near-term and these losses could be significant as we incur product development, clinical and regulatory activities, contract consulting and other product development and commercialization related expenses. We believe that our current working capital position will be sufficient to meet our estimated cash needs for at least 24 months. We are closely monitoring our cash balances, cash needs and expense levels. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result in the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

We expect that our primary expenditures will be to continue development of our health and wellness line, PIFA PLUSS® Infectious Disease single-use assays, BreathScan® DKA and Breath PulmoHealth products, enrolling patients in clinical trials to support performance claims, generating studies in peer-reviewed journals to support product marketing, and provide data for the FDA 510(k) clearance/CE certifications processes when required. We will also continue to support commercialization and marketing activities of commercialized products (PIFA Heparin/PF4 rapid assays, PIFA PLUSS® PF4, breath alcohol detectors and METRON in the US and internationally. Based upon our experience, clinical trial and related regulatory expenses can be significant costs. Steps to achieve commercialization of emerging products will be an ongoing and evolving process with expected improvements and possible subsequent generations being evaluated for commercialized and emerging tests. Should we be unable to achieve FDA clearance for products that require such regulatory "approval", develop performance characteristics for rapid tests that satisfy market needs, or generate sufficient revenue from commercialized products, we would need to rely on other business or product opportunities to generate revenue and costs that we have incurred for the patents may be deemed impaired.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $60,254 (2014: $24,987). Capital expenditures, primarily for production, laboratory and facility improvement costs for the year ending December 31, 2015 are expected to be approximately $250,000. As per the Company's lease agreement, the owner of the facility will be handling the majority of facility upgrades, and we anticipate financing any production and laboratory capital expenditures through working capital.

The Company invested $64,091 for a 19.9% ownership position in a joint venture with Hainan Savy Investment Management, Ltd and Mr. Thomas Knox, the Company's Non-executive Co-chairman, to research, develop, produce and sell Akers' rapid diagnostic screening and testing products in China. The new entity, incorporated in the People's Republic of China, operates as Hainan Savy Akers Biosciences, Ltd.

The Company may enter into generally short-term consulting and development agreements primarily for testing services and in connection with clinical trials conducted as part of the Company's development process which may include activities related to the development of technical files for FDA 510(k) clearance submissions. Such commitments at any point in time may be significant but the agreements typically contain cancellation provisions.

We lease our manufacturing facility which also contains our administrative offices. Our current lease was executed January 1, 2013 and is effective through December 31, 2019. The Company has leased this property from the current owner since 1997.

Due to recent market events that have adversely affected all industries and the economy as a whole, management has placed increased emphasis on monitoring the risks associated with the current environment, particularly the recoverability of current assets, the fair value of assets, and the Company's liquidity. At this point in time, there has not been a material impact on the Company's assets and liquidity. Management will continue to monitor the risks associated with the current environment and their impact on the Company's results.

The Company's net cash provided by investing and financing activities totaled $3,937,978 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Cash was consumed by capital expenditures, the investment in Hainan Savy Akers Biosciences, Ltd. and the purchase of marketable securities of $176,664. Proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and a policy renewal incentive from an insurer contributed cash of $4,114,642 for the period ended September 30, 2015.

The Company's net cash provided by investing and financing activities totaled $3,296,139, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Cash was consumed by capital expenditures, the payment of a short-term note payable - related party, the purchase of marketable securities and the payment of dividends on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock totaling $12,885,482.
