Year-end Business Review
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenues increased 37.5% to $1.1
million compared to the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily
a result of the sale of normal source plasma under our June 2012 supply
agreement. The normal source plasma material is collected at ADMA's
wholly-owned subsidiary, ADMA BioCenters, an FDA-licensed plasma
collection facility. ADMA has generated revenues of $1.9 million since
inception through December 31, 2012 from the sale of normal source human
plasma collected at ADMA BioCenters.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $0.7 million,
compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was a
result of higher costs associated with the sale of normal source plasma
through a supply agreement entered into in June 2012.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012
were $3.5 million, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2011.
Research and development expenses increased primarily as a result of
higher manufacturing, testing and regulatory costs for ADMA's lead
product candidate, RI-002, along with costs for the initiation of its
Phase III clinical study, as well as increased wages and benefits for
new hires during 2012, which include the July 2012 appointment of a
Chief Scientific Officer/Chief Medical Officer.
Plasma center operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012
were $1.8 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2011.
Plasma center operating expenses increased following the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration licensing of ADMA BioCenters in August 2011, of
which increases include additional facility expenses, supplies and
increased headcount during 2012.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012
were $3.1 million, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2011.
General and administrative expenses increased as a result of increased
stock-based compensation charges, increased professional and filing fees
associated with becoming a public company during the first quarter of
2012, as well as increased wages and benefits for new hires during 2012,
which includes the May 2012 appointment of our Chief Financial Officer.
Net Loss
For the year ended December 31, 2012, ADMA's net loss was $7.3 million,
or $(1.76) per share, compared to a net loss of $5.9 million, or
$(16.72) per share, in the same period of 2011. The increase in net loss
is attributable to an increase in research and development expenses
relating to the manufacturing, testing and regulatory costs of ADMA's
lead product candidate, costs for the initiation of its Phase III
clinical study of RI-002, in addition to increased general and
administrative expenses relating to higher stock-based compensation
charges, professional filing fees as a result of becoming a public
reporting company during the first quarter of 2012, offset by increased
revenues. The increase in the number of shares outstanding resulted from
the conversion of preferred stock and notes payable into common stock
and the issuance of common stock in connection with the merger and
financing in February 2012.
Cash Position
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$12.5 million.
About ADMA Biologics, Inc.
ADMA is a specialty immune globulin company that develops, manufactures
and intends to market plasma-based biologics for the treatment and
prevention of certain infectious diseases. ADMA's mission is to develop
and commercialize plasma-derived, human immune globulins targeted to
niche patient populations for the treatment and prevention of certain
infectious diseases. The target patient populations include
immune-compromised individuals who suffer from an underlying immune
deficiency disease or who may be immune-compromised for medical reasons.
ADMA also operates ADMA Bio Centers, which is an FDA-licensed source
plasma collection facility located in Norcross, Georgia, which provides
us with a portion of our blood plasma for the manufacture of RI-002. For
more information please visit the Company's website at: www.admabiologics.com.
About ADMA's lead product candidate RI-002
ADMA's lead product candidate, RI-002 is a specialty plasma-derived,
polyclonal, Intravenous Immune Globulin, or IGIV, derived from human
plasma containing naturally occurring polyclonal antibodies (eg.
streptococcus pneumoniae, H. influenza type B, CMV, measles, tetanus
etc.) as well as high levels of antibodies targeted to respiratory
syncytial virus, or RSV. ADMA is pursuing an indication for the use of
this specialty IGIV product for treatment of patients diagnosed with
primary immune deficiency diseases, or PIDD. Polyclonal antibodies are
the primary component of IGIV products. Polyclonal antibodies are
proteins produced by B-cells that are used by the body's immune system
to neutralize microbes such as bacteria and viruses. The polyclonal
antibodies that are present in RI-002 are expected to prevent infections
in immune-compromised patients.
About Primary Immune Deficiency Disease (PIDD)
PIDD is a class of inherited genetic disorders that causes an individual
to have a deficient or absent immune system due to either a lack of
necessary antibodies or a failure of these antibodies to function
properly. PIDD patients are more vulnerable to infections and more
likely to suffer complications from these infections. According to the
World Health Organization, there are over 150 different presentations of
PIDD. As patients suffering from PIDD lack a properly functioning immune
system, they typically receive monthly, outpatient infusions of IGIV
therapy. Without this exogenous antibody immune support, these patients
would be susceptible to a wide variety of infectious diseases. PIDD has
an estimated prevalence of 1:1,200 in the United States, or
approximately 250,000 people.
