Net sales decreased from $4.1 million in 2017’s second quarter to $2.8 million in 2018’s second quarter. The company attributed the decrease to a delay “in hiring new sales representatives and increasing managed care coverage for Avenova,” according to a press release.

The company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $6.8 million as of June 30.
