-- Signed exclusive Master Distributor Agreement with ADS Inc. for marketing and supply of rapid tests to US Government agencies and departments

-- Expanded the international distribution network through the addition of new distributors for rapid HIT test in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) - product now exposed to 30 non-US markets

-- Achieved ISO 13485 (2003) Certification which accelerates the process of gaining regulatory clearance for medical devices in certain countries, allowing the Company to get products to market faster

"Our core business of rapid tests for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia keeps growing," said Raymond F. Akers, Jr. PhD, Co-founder and Executive Chairman. "The benefits of the newly expanded sales team are beginning to be felt with domestic sales of this flagship product up 44 per cent compared with the first half of 2014; and we are confident of a significantly stronger second half of the year for this product," continued Dr. Akers.

"Outside of the HIT test business, we are very pleased to see a resurgence in demand from new customers for the alcohol breathalyzer product in the EU following the loss of the French revenue stream when the French government postponed the fine for drivers failing to possess breathalyzers in their vehicles. We have visibility over a healthy pipeline of orders from the EU for this product through the remainder of the year," continued Dr. Akers.

"One of the most significant events to occur in terms of the Company's future has been the creation of the new Akers Wellness product line and the introduction of its transformative breath tests - known as BreathScan OxiChek(TM) and BreathScan KetoChek(TM) - which connect to a bluetooth-enabled reader and synch via an app on any mobile device. These tests will enable doctors, chiropractors, suppliers of nutritional supplements, health coaches and consumers to monitor trends in critical metabolic processes with a level of convenience which has never before been available to them. This is a huge market globally - particularly in the US - and our proprietary technology for identifying biomarkers in exhaled breath positions us very well to capitalize on it," continued Dr. Akers.

"Looking ahead through the remainder of the year, the most important indicator is that domestic sales of the flagship HIT test continue to rise - and we expect this trend to accelerate. We also have a strong pipeline of orders for alcohol breathalyzers coming from new distributors in the EU. Longer term we're very excited about the prospects for our international business - particularly China where we see the most significant opportunity. While we have good revenue visibility through the remainder of the year in our core business, the Company's ability to meet full revenue expectations for the year remains partially dependent on the timing of large stocking orders from international distributors like those in China, which are influenced by external factors such as regulatory approvals. We are confident that such orders will materialize but there can be no certainty over their timing. We also expect to see initial revenue contributions this year from our Akers Wellness line as these transformative products establish their place in the market," said Dr. Akers.

Summary of Statements of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenue

Akers' revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $1,476,970, a 42% decrease from the same period in 2014. Importantly, sales of the flagship PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products increased by 44% over the six month period ended June 30, 2014. The reduction in overall revenue resulted from there having been an initial stocking order for Tri-Cholesterol "Check" tests in the first half of last year which was not repeated in the six months ended June 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 Company's MPC product sales declined during the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the same period of 2014, the Company received the final order from ChubeWorkx for the Company's breathalyzer product. The decline was partially offset by an initial stocking order from a new distributor in the European Union ("EU"). An initial order for 2,000,000 devices was received and units began to ship in June. Additional shipments will be released as directed by the distributor over the next twelve months.

Domestic sales of the Company's PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products continues 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.

There were no sales in the six months ended June 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.

Other operating revenue increased due to a rise in shipping and handling fees, a result of increased volume and the mix of domestic and international shipments.

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 period ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by 24% compared to the same period in 2014 to $567,367 from $745,732 in 2014. Direct cost of sales increased to 24% of product revenue while indirect cost of sales increased to 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 22% and 9% respectively for the same period in 2014. Overall, cost of sales, as a percentage of product revenue, was 49% and 31% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Direct cost of sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 showed a small increase of 2% of product revenue over 2014. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was due to one significant event that occurred in the six months ended June 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.

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. The increase was mitigated by a reduction in indirect personnel expenses in the six months ended June 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 62% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 70% in 2014 for the reasons described above and is consistent with management's expectations of where margins are expected to settle on a continuing basis.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015, totaled $2,444,964, which was a 46% increase as compared to $1,670,728 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued stock options to the officers and key employees which accounts for the most significant fluctuation in personnel and other general and administrative costs, where, during the same period of 2015, no costs were incurred.

The increase in professional service costs for the period ended June 30, 2015 is related to costs associated with various corporate and legal affairs. Also included in this increase is the use of employment agencies to seek out qualified applicants for our sales and marketing department.

Offsetting a portion of the professional service expenses was the elimination of management fees paid to Nicolette Consulting Group for services that were incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The Company established an allowance for bad debts of $864,000 for a receivable that was due June 30, 2015 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued stock options to the directors which offsets a portion of the increase in other general and administrative expenses, where, during the same period of 2015, no costs were incurred.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $1,128,792, which was an 86% increase as compared to $607,707 for the six months ended June 30, 2014

Sales and marketing expenses have increased in the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to the expansion from four employees at June 30, 2014 to ten employees as of June 30, 2015.

Professional service costs increased during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the use of external market research firms to help the Company identify new markets for our product lines and to increase our market penetration in our existing markets.

Other sales and marketing costs during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased compared to the same period of 2014 mainly due to increased travel and trade show activity.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $683,799, which was a 36% increase as compared to $502,489 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Other Income and Expense

Other income increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $69,210 from $38,272 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 $69,169 (2014: $29,707) and was partially offset by a loss on foreign currency transactions of $5,969 (2014: gain of $3,896).

Income Taxes

As of June 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company generated a net loss attributable to shareholders of $3,408,028 and $1,106,388, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $88,272,114 and $84,864,086 and had cash totaling $261,234 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 and VIVO, as well as development activities for its PIFA PLUSS(R) Infectious Disease single-use assays, BreathScan(R) 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 33 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(R) Infectious Disease single-use assays, BreathScan(R) DKA and Breath PulmoHealth products, enroll patients in clinical trials to support performance claims, generate 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(R) PF4, breath alcohol detectors, METRON and VIVO) 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 production for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $44,509 (2014: $1,660). 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.
