Item 8.01 Other Events.
SpectRx, Inc. announced that the planned production ramp up for it's full-scale launch of the SimpleChoice quick insulin infusion set is proceeding at a slower pace than had been anticipated, and that sales revenue from the product is now not expected to occur until the second quarter of 2005.
Pilot production and verification testing of the product was begun later than anticipated but is currently underway. During this process, final adjustments to the product design are being made before the product enters commercial production.
Because significant sales revenue from the quick product is not expected until the second quarter of 2005, the company will accelerate its timetable for seeking additional financing.
"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this report that are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances and developments. The discussion of such matters and subject areas is qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally and also may materially differ from SpectRx's actual future experience involving any of or more of such matters and subject areas. Such risks and uncertainties include: the early stage of products in development, the uncertainty of market acceptance of products, the uncertainty of development or effectiveness of distribution channels, the intense competition in the medical device industry, the uncertainty of capital to develop products, the uncertainty of regulatory approval of products, dependence on licensed intellectual property, as well as those that are more fully described from time to time in SpectRx's reports under the heading "Risk Factors" filed with the SEC, including SpectRx's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and subsequent quarterly reports. This report speaks only as of its date, and SpectRx disclaims any duty to update the information herein.
