The Company issued 78.5 Units at a price of U.S. $10,000 per Unit for gross proceeds of U.S. $785,000.

Medifocus paid finder’s fees of US $48,000.

The Company has extended the Offering and expects to close the balance of the $5,000,000 Offering in Q1 2016. The proceeds of this Offering will be primarily used to expand the reach of Prolieve and for general working capital.
