Appendix 4E Full Year Preliminary Results 30 June 2007
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 24 August 2007 – NuSep Ltd (ASX: NSP) announces the results for the period ended 30 June 2007.
This has been the first year of operations for NuSep post its demerger from Life Therapeutics in 2006. For the period the company has reported a loss of $4.9m, with revenues of $0.9m.
Incorporated in this loss are a number of one-off expenses during the year relating to the demerger process and costs related to the delayed listing on the ASX.
Overall the operational results for the period have been inline with company expectation for its first year of operations. The company expects to achieve profitability on a monthly basis during the current financial year.
The company has completed the rollout of its global distribution channel, with NuSep distribution locations now established in Europe, USA and Australia. The Gels manufacturing is continuous being improved and a US sales force has been employed to actively market our products into our key global markets. The company has also commenced the first clinical trials of the Sperm sorter project under the $2m Australian Federal Government Commercial Ready grant.
The delay in listing has pushed back the initial US promotional campaign. This will now start in September 2007. The initial Australian promotional campaign started in August and has been positively received by our customers.
NuSep has recently taken a 16.5% equity stake in Minomic International and has also entered into an agreement with Minomic to negotiate a licence agreement to manufacture and market their diagnostic kits. The lead product covered by this agreement is a urine test for prostate cancer.
Looking ahead the company is actively looking at a number of acquisitions of companies and products to expand its current product range especially in the monoclonal area which will deliver substantial growth for NuSep.
We will continue to build on the momentum achieved during the first year of operations.
An Appendix 4E is attached to this announcement.
