Chief Executive Officer's statement
We are pleased to present the Company's results for the six
months ended 30 September 2010.
Background
The Company is a globally-focused biopharmaceutical company,
specialising in the development and manufacture of high-quality,
cost-effective treatments for some of the world's most serious
diseases. Since February 2007, the Company has been a subsidiary of
Reliance Life Sciences. The Company is working towards the
development, manufacture and marketing of a portfolio of biosimilar
recombinant therapeutic proteins for global markets.
Business overview
The development programme for Erythropoietin (EPO) is in its
final phase. The Company is pleased to announce that it has
submitted an application to the European Medicine Agency for
authority to market EPO in Europe. The Company has deferred its
Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) development programme
in view of this greater focus on the EPO programme and also to
conserve its cash resources. The Company continues to supply EPO to
the Indian market and is in the process of registering EPO in a
number of other international markets.
Financial review
Operating losses of EUR1.04 million for the period (2009:
EUR1.34 million) are in line with budget and reflect planned
expenditure. The Company continues to exercise a strict control on
costs and to optimise management of its cash flow.
During the period the Company capitalised development
expenditure of EUR1.27 million (2009: EUR1.92 million) incurred on
the EPO development programme. Current assets and current
liabilities are in line with the level of operations of the
Company. Although the overall economic environment in Ireland
remains very challenging, the Company has been able to sustain its
product development programmes because of the financial support
that continues to be received from Reliance Life Sciences.
