PHARMATHENE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS
ANNAPOLIS, MD November 13, 2007 PharmAthene, Inc. (Amex: PIP) a biodefense company developing medical countermeasures against biological and chemical threats, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
During the third quarter we reached a significant milestone in our corporate history, remarked David P. Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer. By completing our merger with Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (HAQ), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, PharmAthene is now a publicly-traded company with a strong financial foundation and enhanced access to capital with which to pursue the Companys business objectives.
We plan to use these resources to continue the growth of our product grant and procurement revenues. Longer-term we will use these increased resources to accelerate our growth through either in-licensing agreements, co-development opportunities, or strategic acquisitions in biodefense and other commercial markets. continued Mr. Wright.
Financial Results
For the current quarter PharmAthene recognized revenues of $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, PharmAthene recognized revenues of $8.7 million. These revenues consist primarily of contract and grant funding from the U.S. government.
PharmAthenes research and development expenses were $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, PharmAthene recognized research and development expenses of $10.7 million. These expenses resulted primarily from research and development activities related to the development of Valortim for protection against and treatment of inhalation anthrax, and Protexia®, for treatment of nerve agent poisoning. Research and development expense increased $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006 primarily
5
as a result of increased process development and manufacturing activities for both Valortim and Protexia.
General and administrative expenses for the Company were $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Expenses associated with general and administrative functions for the Company were $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
PharmAthenes net loss for the third quarter of 2007 was $0.3 million. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the quarter was $0.07 per basic and diluted share. This included a one-time gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million, related to the conversion of notes associated with the merger with Healthcare Acquisition Corp., and $2.4 million related to the change in the market value of derivative instruments, which were cancelled with the merger. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $8.5 million or a loss of $2.44 per basic and diluted share.
As of September 30, cash and cash equivalents were $60.3 million. The $55.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2006 was primarily attributable to the merger with HAQ, which resulted in net cash proceeds of $58.7 million, and to the March 2007 $10 million debt financing, partially offset by the funding of operations.
Quarterly Business Highlights
In addition to the completion of the HAQ merger, PharmAthene demonstrated additional corporate milestones in the quarter, including:
PharmAthene and Medarex, Inc. announced on November 8, 2007 that the FY 2008 Department of Defense (DoD) appropriations bill includes $0.8 million payable to PharmAthene on a cost reimbursement basis to support ongoing development of Valortim. This is the third consecutive year in which PharmAthene has received appropriations funding for Valortim.
PharmAthene and Medarex announced on September 26, 2007 that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has awarded PharmAthene a contract for the advanced development of Valortim, a fully human monoclonal antibody generated by Medarexs UltiMAb® technology that is being co-developed by the two companies. The contract, valued at up to $13.9 million supports the development of Valortim for use as an anti-toxin therapeutic to prevent and treat inhalation anthrax infection. The contract is effective as of September 28, 2007 and will be incrementally funded through 2009. Funding for the contracts initial fiscal year could reach up to $10.3 million.
PharmAthene and Medarex announced the results of new studies showing that the companies anthrax anti-toxin, Valortim may possess the ability to enhance macrophage killing of Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) spores within macrophages, potentially blocking the ability of these spores to develop into bacteria, thereby preventing toxin production and propagation of the infection. The new data were recently presented by Dr. Alan Cross, Professor of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland at the Bacillus ACT 2007 International Conference on Bacillus anthracis.
