CEO REPORT - QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2012
Dear Shareholders,
Anteo Diagnostics Limited (ASX:ADO) is pleased to report on its activities for the quarter ending 31 March 2012. This quarter had the following highlights:
-
The execution of a Patent and Technology License Agreement with eBioscience
-
Ongoing development and recognition of our patent portfolio
-
Presentation of a poster at the AACC Oak Ridge conference and ongoing customer development;
-
Further development of blockers and quenching agents for Mix&Go™ to provide a total solution for customers.
-
Acceleration of our efforts into the creation of “demonstration data” that exemplifies the benefits of Mix&Go on ceramic surfaces, silica, plastic plates and other plastic materials commonly used in life sciences research.
eBIOSCIENCE
On 13[th] March Anteo announced that it had signed a Patent and Technology License Agreement with eBioscience. eBioscience Inc is a US based organisation with sales revenues approaching $100M that has been enjoying double digit growth for the past 5 years. They are a world leader in the manufacture and marketing of immunology and oncology flow cytometry reagents. One of their current key product ranges is FlowCytomix – a bead based immunoassay system for use on flow cytometers. FlowCytomix kits allow for the simultaneous analysis of up to 20 proteins in a single reaction. eBioscience is currently working to incorporate Mix&Go™ into their FlowCytomix range. The logistics surrounding these changes are jointly being addressed at present.

eBioscience recognises that there are numerous other applications for Mix&Go™ both within their existing product range and with new products that are under development. Anteo is committed to providing whatever assistance is possible to ensure incorporation of Mix&Go™ into these products at the earliest possible opportunity.
PATENT PORTFOLIO
In March it was announced that Anteo had filed a divisional patent on the “Use of Metal Complexes” patent and that the parent patent was likely to be granted imminently. No official notification of this grant has been received as yet.
The intent of this patent approach was to enhance our flexibility with respect to discussions with prospective licensees.
AACC OAK RIDGE CONFERENCE AND CUSTOMER DEVELOPMENT
Anteo submitted a poster that was accepted for presentation at the Oak Ridge Conference – Emerging Technologies for 21[st] Century Clinical Diagnostics in April. More regular attendance at conferences, like Oak Ridge, forms an important part of our marketing and business development activities, enabling us to directly interact with both current and new parties with whom we would like to be dealing. A range of discussions from introduction to the technology to commercial negotiations were progressed through the course of the conference. In addition, several other companies who have used Mix&Go™ but were unable to attend the conference were visited to progress interactions.
PROVIDING CUSTOMERS WITH A TOTAL SOLUTION
Mix&Go™ provides users with the ability to develop highly sensitive tests capable of measuring into the femtogram/ml range (10[-18] g/ml). As a new approach that enables users to deal with such small amounts of material, it is critical that only measurements of the analyte (object) of interest are made ie there are no non-specific measurements. Our scientists are devoting considerable time to minimising non-specific effects with a view to further enhancing the value of our products by providing a complete solution centered on Mix&Go™. Several “blockers” have been developed specifically for use with Mix&Go™. Through this approach we believe that we can offer a total solution to companies developing highly sensitive tests on a range of different surfaces.
USE OF MIX&GO ON OTHER SURFACES
Most of the work undertaken to date with Mix&Go™ has been done on polystyrene beads. Whilst these surfaces are commonly used in biological settings, there a number of other surfaces that are also used. Our scientists have been testing and modifying Mix&Go™ to suit these different surfaces. In this manner we intend to be able to provide a solution to customers no matter what their surface of choice.

CORPORATE
Anteo’s cash balance was slightly up on last quarter with $5,619,723 in the bank on 31 March 2012. This gives Anteo further confidence that it can fund its activities past the end of 2013 at the current burn rate. This forecast excludes any future potential revenue streams.
We are pleased with the progress Anteo is making and we are focused on converting enquiries into new sales and licensing agreements. We are excited by the Mix&Go™ technology and the Board has sound reasons for continued optimism.
