Chief Executive Officer's statement
We are pleased to present the Company's results for the six
months ended 30 September 2011.
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
After withdrawing the marketing authorisation application sent
to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Company has consulted
EMA on various aspects of the development programme of
Erythropoietin (EPO) and has since received EMA's Scientific
Advice. The Company is in the process of finalising the additional
studies to complete this development programme. The Company
continues to supply EPO to the Indian market and has taken steps to
register EPO in other countries, including Iran and Brazil.
Financial review
Operating losses of EUR1.016 million for the period (2010:
EUR1.04 million) are in line with budget and reflect planned
expenditure. The Company continues to exercise strict control over
costs and to optimise management of its cash flow.
During the period the Company capitalised development
expenditure of EUR0.835 million (2010: EUR1.27 million) incurred on
the EPO development programme. Current assets and current
liabilities are in line with the level of operations of the
Company. Despite the challenging external environment, the Company
has been able to sustain its product development programmes as a
result of the financial support it continues to receive from
Reliance Life Sciences.
