Marketwired Canada
Innovotech Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IOT) announced its unaudited financial and
operational results for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2008.
Highlights
- Solid cash position from increased revenue and exercised warrants.
- Significant advances in product milestones with Agress(TM) and bioFILM PA(TM).
- Increased Research and Development spending.
"The first half of 2008 saw a significant increase in Research and Development
spending, resulting in a loss compared to a breakeven position in the same
period of 2007. The spending was mainly driven by development costs for
Agress(TM), the company's novel seed treatment agent which is on track for
regulatory approval in Canada and the US in 2009. The global seed treatment
market is valued at USD$1.2 billion. The research is directed at expanding the
usefulness of Agress(TM) and other agents to other crops and agricultural
diseases. bioFILM PA, the company's breakthrough susceptibility test, hit a
major milestone with the announcement in July of a clinical study developed by
the Hospital for Sick Children and St. Michael's Hospital, both world leaders in
cystic fibrosis treatment. Strong contract research revenue coupled with
exercise of warrants and stock options, ensured that the company's cash reserves
remained essentially unchanged during the period," said James Timourian, Chief
Financial Officer.
