QUARTERLY SHAREHOLDER UPDATE
April 2011
Imugene Limited (ASX Code: IMU) specialises in the development and commercialisation of novel animal health products for pigs and poultry. Our range of products under development includes vaccines to prevent important livestock diseases and productivity enhancers to improve the economics of raising commercial livestock.
Imugene is pleased to report positive net operating cash flow for the nine months ended 31 March 2011 of $1.2 million and finished the 31 March 2011 quarter with $1.9 million in cash reserves, as detailed in the Appendix 4C released today.
Quarter Highlights
- Technology and material transfer programs continue.
Technology and Material Transfer
During the quarter ended 31 March 2011, Imugene’s main focus remained on the progressing the technology and material transfer programs. The technology transfer process involves, amongst other matters, the transfer of information and accumulated trial data for Imugene’s range of vaccines and productivity enhancers to our global licensee. The material transfer process involves the physical shipment of vaccines. Both processes advanced well during the quarter and are nearing completion.
Other work undertaken at our laboratory facility at La Trobe University included updating and expansion of our product range to roll out our recent product improvements through the entire range of our vaccines, and to develop specific vaccines for global regions such as Europe. For some diseases, such as PRRS, virus strain variation between the US and Europe may require separate strains of vaccine. Imugene’s technology allows for a simple change in the material delivered to vary a vaccine for administration in another region if required.
