fiscal year 2012
Heidelberg, November 14, 2012 - SYGNIS Pharma AG (Frankfurt:
LIOK; ISIN DE000A1E9B74; Prime Standard) today reports its financial
results for the six months period ended September 30, 2012.
Financials
- The net loss in the second quarter was EUR-1.3 million
(EUR-2.0 million Q2 2011/2012). The net loss for the six months period
was EUR-2.5 million(EUR-3.3 million H1 2011/2012)
- Total operating expenses for the first six months were down at
EUR 2.6 million (EUR4.3 million first half 2011/2012).
- Cash including marketable securities amounted to EUR1.9 million as
of September 30, 2012 (EUR8.1 million September 30, 2011).
Operational summary
- In July 2012 SYGNIS implemented essential transaction steps as part of the
necessary realignment. These steps included the signing of the Term Sheet
regarding the merger with X-Pol Biotech S.L. (X-Pol) and the early
prolongation of the SEDA agreement.
- Moreover SYGNIS was informed in September 2012 about the fact that the
German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has granted
Genetrix an exemption from the obligations according to § 35 WpÜG
(Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act), in particular to provide a
mandatory offer to the shareholders of SYGNIS. This exemption is a
prerequisite for the successful implementation of the business combination
with X-Pol.
- The operating expenses and the liquidity outflow during the first six
months of the fiscal year were within the expectations of the Company.
- Within the KIBRA project further progress has been achieved on the way of
identifying lead compounds. In addition the Company has intensified the
partnering process by numerous discussions with potential partners.
Significant events after the balance sheet date
- In connection with the realignment of the Company, the Board member Dr.
Frank Rathgeb has resigned from the Management Board of SYGNIS by mutual
agreement with the Supervisory Board on 31 October 2012.
- Representing 73% of the voting share capital the shareholders of SYGNIS
agreed to all items of the agenda in the Annual Shareholder Meeting. These
items primarily include the following measures:
- Resolution on the reduction of the share capital of the Company from
EUR 16,829,504 to EUR 2,103,688 by consolidating shares in a 8:1 ratio
- Capital increase against contribution in kind from EUR 2,103,688
to EUR 9,349,724 by contribution of all shares of X-Pol
- Election of the new Supervisory Board
- Change of fiscal year to the calendar year and constituting a
short year from 1 April to 31 December 2012
- Subsequently to the Shareholders' Meeting on 17 October 2012 the
Supervisory Board has appointed Mrs. Pilar de la Huerta to the Management
Board of the Company and has nominated her as CEO.
Outlook
- For the upcoming months emphasis is being placed on securing sufficient
funding and the realignment of the Company through the business
combination with X-Pol. With the marketing of the DNA amplification
technologies and products, SYGNIS is aiming to generate initial revenues
and to establish a profitable business in the medium term.
- For the KIBRA project, the partnering process is ongoing. However, should
the Company not succeed in winning a partner for KIBRA, the Management
Board will have to reconsider the future of this project.
- The Company's available funds as of 30 September 2012 secure the liquidity
of SYGNIS until approximately March 2013. To further finance its business
activities, the Company will have to rely on further funding from March
2013 on.
