iBio, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE A - BUSINESS
iBio, Inc. (iBio or the Company) is a biotechnology company focused on commercializing its proprietary technology, the iBioLaunch platform, for biologics including vaccines and therapeutic proteins. The Companys strategy is to promote its commercial products through collaborations and license arrangements. iBio expects to receive upfront license fees, milestone revenues, service revenue and royalties on end products. The Company believes its technology offers the opportunity to develop products that might not otherwise be commercially feasible, and to work with both corporate and government clients to reduce their costs during product development and meet their needs for low cost, high quality biologics manufacturing systems. The Companys near-term focus is to establish business arrangements for use of our technology by licensees for the development and production of products for both therapeutic and vaccine uses.
Liquidity and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial information at September 30, 2011 and for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, is unaudited and includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the condensed financial information set forth therein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted as permitted by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet amounts as of June 30, 2011 were derived from the audited financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its spinoff from its former parent, Integrated BioPharma, Inc. (IBP) in August 2008. As of September 30, 2011, the Companys accumulated deficit approximated $25,279,000 and cash used in operations for the three months September 30, 2011 and 2010 approximated $1,228,000 and $526,000, respectively. The Company has historically financed its activities through the sale of common stock and warrants. To date, the Company has dedicated most of its financial resources to investing in its iBioLaunch platform, advancing its intellectual property, and general and administrative activities. Cash on hand as of September 30, 2011 was approximately $1,523,000 and is expected to support the Companys activities through January 2012.
The Company plans to fund its development and commercialization activities through January 2012 and beyond through milestone receipts from licensing arrangements including royalties and/or the sale of equity securities. The Company cannot be certain that such funding will be available on acceptable terms or available at all or that the receipts from its licensing arrangements will be sufficient to cover its operating costs and research and development activities. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders may experience significant dilution. If the Company is unable to raise funds when required or on acceptable terms or generate sufficient revenues, it may have to: a) Significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; b) Seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than would otherwise be desirable and/or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or c) Relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates, or products that it would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize itself and possibly cease operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Companys research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable.

iBio, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other governmental regulations and approval requirements.
Significant Accounting Policies.
The Companys significant accounting policies are described in Note B to its audited Financial Statements included in its June 30, 2011 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended September 30.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred a loss, therefore, basic and diluted EPS were the same, since the common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share have been excluded given that the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
There were 10,009,769 and 6,915,811 options and warrants for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 that were excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes our basic and diluted EPS computations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments primarily include cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and derivative liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of cash, accounts receivable, current assets and accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
6
iBio, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
|
|
|
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
|
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The following table sets forth the Companys assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, in the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.
The Company categorizes its derivative financial instrument liability in Level 2 of the hierarchy. The derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model, using assumptions consistent with the determination of fair value. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument liability is based principally on Level 2 inputs. For this liability, the Company developed its own assumptions based on observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value.

The fair value of the derivative financial instrument liability is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price, volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate.
The assumptions made in calculating the fair value of these derivative instruments as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 and June 30, 2011 were as follows:

Recently Issued Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance for fair value measurements to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements, particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard for fair value measurements is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Intellectual property consists of technology for producing targeted proteins in plants for the development and manufacture of novel vaccines and therapeutics for humans and certain veterinary applications. The Company accounts for intangible assets at their historical cost and records amortization utilizing the straight-line method based upon their estimated useful lives. Intellectual property is amortized over a period from eighteen to twenty-three years and patents over ten years. The Company reviews the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Evaluating for impairment requires judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, future growth rates and profitability and the expected life over which cash flows will occur. Changes in the Companys business strategy or adverse changes in market conditions could impact impairment analyses and require the recognition of an impairment charge equal to the excess of the carrying value over its estimated fair value. The veterinary application intellectual property and certain patents were determined to have been impaired during the year ended June 30, 2011. There was no impairment during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Amortization expense for intangible assets is recorded utilizing the straight-line method, was included in and general and administrative expenses and approximated $79,000 and $92,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
NOTE C STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Share-Based Compensation - Stock Options and Warrants
The Company accounts for options granted to employees by measuring the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of that award is then ratably recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award. Options and warrants granted to consultants and other non-employees are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such options and warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period. Adjustments to fair value at each reporting date may result in income or expense, depending upon the estimate of fair value and the amount of expense recorded prior to the adjustment.
On August 12, 2008, the Company adopted the iBioPharma, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) for employees, officers, directors, or external service providers. Under the provisions of the Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase stock and/or make awards of restricted stock up to an aggregate amount of 10,000,000 shares. There are 5,650,000 options available for future issuance under the Plan. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or non

-statutory stock options at the discretion of the Board of Directors and as reflected in the terms of the written option agreement. Options granted under the Plan vest ratably at the end of each twelve month period within either a three or five year period from the date of grant.

Our strategy is to promote our technology through commercial product collaborations and license arrangements. We expect to share in the increased value our technology provides through upfront license fees, milestone revenues, service revenues, and royalties on end products. We believe our technology offers the opportunity to develop products that might not otherwise be commercially feasible, and to work with both corporate and government clients to reduce their costs during product development and meet their needs for low cost, high quality biologics manufacturing systems. Our near-term focus is to establish business arrangements for use of our technology by licensees for the development and production of products for both therapeutic and vaccine uses. Vaccine candidates presently being advanced on our proprietary platform are applicable to newly emerging strains of H1N1 swine-like influenza, and H5N1 avian influenza, yellow fever, and anthrax. Therapeutic candidates presently being advanced on our proprietary platform include human alpha-galactosidase A for the treatment of Fabry disease, human C1 esterase inhibitor for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE), human alpha-1 antitrypsin for treatment of disorders caused by a lack or deficiency of alpha-1 antitrypsin, a therapeutic vaccine for human papilloma virus (HPV), and several other therapeutic protein targets for which preliminary product feasibility has been demonstrated.
13
In order to attract appropriate licensees and increase the value of our share of such intended contractual arrangements, we engaged the Center for Molecular Biotechnology of Fraunhofer USA, Inc., or FhCMB, in 2003 to perform research and development activities to develop the platform and to create our first product candidate. We selected a plant-based influenza vaccine for human use as the product candidate to exemplify the value of the platform. Based on research conducted by FhCMB, our proprietary technology is applicable to the production of vaccines for any strain of influenza including the newly-emerged strains of H1N1 swine-like influenza. A Phase 1 clinical trial of a vaccine candidate for H1N1 influenza, based on iBios technology, was initiated in September 2010. We announced positive interim results in June 2011. The vaccine candidate demonstrated strong induction of dose correlated immune responses, with or without adjuvant, as assessed by virus microneutralization antibody assays and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) responses. The vaccine was safe and well tolerated at all doses when administered with and without adjuvant.
In connection with the research and development agreement, FhCMB agreed to use its best efforts to obtain grants from governmental and non-governmental entities to fund additional development of our proprietary plant-based technology. Consequently, in addition to the funding we have provided, FhCMB has received funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for development of various vaccines based upon our proprietary technology including an experimental vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza. A Phase 1 clinical trial of a vaccine candidate for H5N1 influenza, based on iBios technology, was initiated in December 2010 and is ongoing. The results of this trial are expected to be released toward the end of fourth quarter calendar year 2011.
In addition to the platform and product development engagements, in 2006, the Company engaged FhCMB to create a prototype production module for products made through the use of the platform. The purpose of this engagement was to demonstrate the ease and economy with which platform-based products could be manufactured in order to attract potential licensees and increase the value of our share of such business arrangements. The prototype design, which encompasses the entire production process from the seeding through pre-infiltration plant growth, infiltration with agrobacteria, harvesting of plant tissue and purification of target proteins, was completed in May 2008. A pilot plant based upon this prototype was subsequently constructed in the FhCMB facility in Newark, Delaware. This pilot plant, and the equipment in it, are owned by FhCMB and have been validated for cGMP production. It will be used for cGMP production of protein targets for clinical trials of product candidates utilizing our platform technology.
In January 2011, we announced the grant of a commercial, royalty-bearing license to Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos of Brazil to develop, manufacture and sell certain vaccines based upon our proprietary technology. Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos will invest $6.5 million to bring the first product candidate, a Yellow Fever vaccine, through a Phase I clinical trial. Yellow Fever is a viral infection in the group of diseases known as hemorrhagic fevers. The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes, and is common in South America and sub-Saharan Africa. The disease, which causes fever, nausea and pain, varies in severity, but is frequently lethal when it progresses to bleeding or to liver damage. The World Health Organization has estimated that 200,000 unvaccinated people contract Yellow Fever each year, and 30,000 die from the disease.
Development of the Yellow Fever vaccine candidate will be performed through a commercial collaboration among the Company, Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos, and FhCMB. The license covers the nations of Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa. The Company retains the right to sell the products developed under the license and collaboration agreement in any other territory with a royalty back to Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos. Bio-Manguinhos is a unit of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), a central agency of the Ministry of Health of Brazil. Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos produces and develops immunobiological items to respond to public health demands. Its product line consists of vaccines, reagents and biopharmaceuticals. Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos is a leading company in the national export of human vaccines and a major participant in total export sales of the Brazilian pharmaceutical sector. Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos is one of the main producers of vaccines and diagnostics for infectious diseases in Latin America. Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos is a certified World Health Organization provider to United Nations agencies, and is a leading world manufacturer of Yellow Fever vaccine, which it has exported to over 60 countries.
The Company established non-commercial arrangements among the Company, certain government entities, a non-governmental organization (which we refer to herein as a NGO) and FhCMB, pursuant to which the Company grants non-commercial rights to use its platform for the development and production by FhCMB of product candidates selected by the government entities and NGO, in consideration for grants by the government entities and NGO directly to FhCMB to fund such research and development.
14
Through (i) the Company/FhCMB contracts and (ii) the non-commercial arrangements described above (which we refer to collectively as the business structure), the Company retains ownership of the intellectual property and exclusive worldwide commercial rights in the fields of human health and veterinary influenza applications of the intellectual property. The Company licenses or otherwise grants use rights (a) to government and NGO entities for not-for-profit applications of the intellectual property for the development or application for which they granted or were granted funding, and (b) to FhCMB for research purposes and applications in other fields.
This business structure helps the Company to enhance the value of commercial rights and the scope of applications of its platform technology. It also helps the Company demonstrate the validity and apparent value of the platform to parties to whom it will offer licenses or other business opportunities. Outsourcing our research and development work allows us to develop our product candidates, and thereby promote the value of our platform for licensing and product development purposes, without bearing the full risk and expense of establishing and maintaining our own research and development staff and facilities. FhCMB is engaged to perform research and development for the fever vaccine project for their expertise. The expected contract with FhCMB is expected to be $6.5 million. Service revenues and research expense under this arrangement commenced in February 2011. The amount billed for revenues and this agreement and related research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $320,000.
The Companys platform technology is sometimes referred to as iBioLaunch technology or the iBioLaunch platform, and the category of this technology is sometimes referred to as plant-based technology or as a plant-based platform. The Company has exclusive control over, and the rights to ownership of, the intellectual property related to all human health and veterinary influenza applications of the plant-based technology developed by FhCMB. Current development projects include conducting proof-of-principle preclinical studies and conducting clinical studies of proprietary influenza vaccines. Many biotech drugs have been on the market long enough for patents on them to expire. Emerging opportunities for biosimilars (also known as biogenerics or follow-on biologics) create potential for our platform technology to be used by potential licensees to enter the market utilizing what the Company expects to be an economical production system. The Company is seeking commercial partners for this category of products and is unlikely to develop products in this category without the financial and marketing support of a commercial partner.
Our proposed products are in the preclinical or early clinical stage of development and will require significant further research, development, clinical testing and regulatory clearances. They are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of products based on innovative technologies. These risks include, but are not limited to, the possibilities that any or all of the proposed products will be found to be ineffective or unsafe, or otherwise fail to receive necessary regulatory clearances; that the proposed products, although effective, will be uneconomical to market; that third parties may now or in the future hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing them; or that third parties will market superior or equivalent products. Accordingly, we are unable to predict whether our research and development activities will result in any commercially viable products or applications. Further, due to the extended testing and regulatory review process required before marketing clearance can be obtained, we do not expect to be able to commercialize any therapeutic drug for at least four years, either directly or through our current or prospective partners or licensees. There can be no assurance that our proposed products will prove to be safe or effective or receive regulatory approvals that are required for commercial sale. Historically, in addition to the development of the platform technology described in the preceding paragraphs, the Company has also generated sales of nutritional supplements utilizing plants as sources of high-quality nutritional minerals. The Company has a patented process for hydroponic growth of edible plants that causes them to accumulate high levels of important nutritional minerals such as chromium, selenium, iron and zinc. The Company utilized the services of various wholly-owned subsidiaries of our former parent company, Integrated BioPharma, Inc. (Integrated BioPharma or Former Parent) to support the production, marketing and sales of these phytomineral products.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 versus September 30, 2010
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were approximately $320,000 and none for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Revenues were attributable to providing technology services to a licensee, Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos, to assist them in implementing the Companys technology.
15
Research and development expense
Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $1,457,000 compared to $158,000 for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $1,299,000 over the comparable period in 2010. This increase for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily relates to two new research agreements that were entered into with FhCMB for selected targeted gene expressions optimization and the use of a certain enzyme as a carrier molecule for $475,000. In addition, FhCMB was engaged to outsource the Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos agreement for their research and development expertise to advance the Yellow Fever vaccine project using iBios technology and such expense was approximately $320,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Cost incurred under the Technology Transfer Agreement was approximately $576,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $0 of the comparable period for the prior year. There are two $1 million obligation payments that are due during a five-year period and such agreement commenced in 2003. The May 2010 obligation was expensed upfront for the completion of the Pilot Plant at FhCMB as services were fully rendered through June 30, 2010. The accounting for the TTA agreement has been to expense such amounts as services are rendered. Share-based compensation expense - options decreased by approximately $103,000 primarily due to certain options that are revalued each month-end using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Companys share price decreased at September 30, 2011 as compared to June 30, 2011, as compared to an increase in the Companys stock price at September 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,189,000 compared to $1,213,000 of the comparable period in 2010, a decrease of $24,000. There was approximately $91,000 of share-based compensation expense warrants for the three months September 30, 2011 that did not have a corresponding expense for the three months September 30, 2011. A certain portion of the share-based compensation expense warrants decreased by approximately $197,000. These warrants are revalued at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Companys share price decreased at September 30, 2011 as compared to June 30, 2011 as compared to an increase in the Companys stock price at September 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010. The decrease of share-based compensation expense was offset by an increase in salaries and benefits of $146,000 from the hiring of two employees, and salary increases for the CEO and President. In addition, professional fees, primarily for legal expenses, increased by $123,000.
Other income (expenses)
The derivative instrument liability non-cash income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $2,704,000 as compared to a non-cash charge of $1,441,000 for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease of $4,145,000 primarily reflects the decrease in the Companys stock price at September 30, 2011 as compared to June 30, 2011 and the increase in the stock price at September 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010. The calculation of this derivative liability is affected by factors which are subject to significant fluctuations and are not under the Companys control. This liability resulted from warrants included in the August 2008 equity financing with a down round provision. Therefore, the resulting effect upon our net income or loss is subject to significant fluctuations and will continue to be subject to significant fluctuations until the warrants either expire in August 2013 or are exercised. The accounting guidance applicable to these warrants requires the Company (assuming all other inputs to the pricing model remain constant) to record a non-cash charge when the Companys stock price is increasing and recording non-cash income when the Companys stock price is decreasing.
Provision for income taxes
The Company did not record a provision income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 since the income before taxes resulted from non taxable income from the change in the fair value of derivative instrument liability of $2,704,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its spinoff from its Former Parent in August 2008. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $25,279,000 and cash used in operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 approximated $1,228,000 and $526,000, respectively. The Company has historically financed its activities through the sale of common stock and warrants. To date, the Company has dedicated most of its financial resources to investing in its iBioLaunch platform, advancing intellectual property and general and administrative activities. Cash on hand as of September 30, 2011 of approximately $1,523,000 is expected to support the Companys activities through January 2012.
16
The Company plans to fund its development and commercialization activities through January 2012 and beyond through milestone receipts from licensing arrangements including royalties and/or the sale of equity securities. The Company cannot be certain that such funding will be available on acceptable terms or available at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders may experience significant dilution. If the Company is unable to raise funds when required or on acceptable terms, it may have to: a) Significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; b) Seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than would otherwise be desirable and/or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or c) Relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates, or products that it would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize itself and possibly cease operations.
These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
On July 26, 2011 we filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 28, 2011. This registration statement allows us, from time to time, to offer and sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase our securities and/or debt securities, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $100 million of such securities. To date, we have not issued any securities under this registration statement and we currently have no firm agreements with any third-parties for the sale of our securities pursuant to this registration statement, or otherwise. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if at all available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If we raise additional funds by selling shares of common stock or convertible securities, the ownership of our existing shareholders will be diluted. Further, if additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or debt securities, such additional securities may have powers, designations, preferences or rights senior to our currently outstanding securities. Any inability to obtain required financing on sufficiently favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital we will need to reduce costs and operations substantially. Further, if expenditures required to achieve our plans are greater than projected we will need to raise a greater amount of funds than currently expected.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
17
|
|
|
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. |
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
NYSE Amex LLC has sent the Company notice of non-compliance with continued listing standards, which could ultimately result in the delisting of the Companys common stock from NYSE Amex LLC.
On November 4, 2011, the Company received notice from NYSE Amex LLC (the Exchange) that the Company currently is below certain of the Exchanges continued listing standards. The Exchange indicated that its review of the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, indicates that the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv), which applies if a listed company has sustained losses that are so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the Exchange, as to whether the company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.
The Company is afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange by November 28, 2011, that demonstrates the Companys ability to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide by January 25, 2012. If the Company does not submit a plan of compliance, or if the plan is not accepted by the Exchange, the Company will be subject to delisting procedures as set forth in Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.
The Company believes it can provide the Exchange with a satisfactory plan by November 28, 2011, to show that it will be able to return to compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide by January 25, 2012.
If the Companys common stock is delisted from the Exchange, the price and liquidity of the common stock could be adversely affected.
