Bradmer Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Bradmer" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BMR.H)
today announced its first quarter 2014 operational and financial results.
Operational Highlights
On February 19, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of
intent with Alpha Cancer Technologies Inc. ("Alpha") to complete a going-public
transaction for Alpha (the "Proposed Transaction"). Alpha is a pre-clinical
biopharmaceutical company with a targeted chemotherapy delivery platform focused
on the global oncology market. Alpha holds the exclusive worldwide rights to
recombinant human Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP), a shuttle protein that targets AFP
receptors found almost exclusively on most solid and liquid cancer cells.
In conjunction with, and prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction, Alpha
intends to complete a private placement of Alpha Shares, 10% convertible notes,
subscription receipts and/or other securities convertible into Alpha Shares for
aggregate gross proceeds of between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000 (the "Private
Placement"), at an offering price or conversion price, as applicable, of $0.50
per Alpha Share. The pricing of the Private Placement reflects a pre-money
enterprise value for Alpha of approximately $25,000,000.
The Letter of Intent has been renewed and extended until June 1, 2014. All other
terms and conditions of the Agreement remain unchanged.
Financial Results
Amounts in US dollars, unless specified otherwise, and results prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a net loss of $33,000 or
$0.002 per common share based on the weighted average outstanding shares of
19,659,726 during the three month period, compared to a net loss of $35,000 or
$0.002 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 based on the
weighted average outstanding shares of 19,659,726.
General and administrative expenses were $49,000 in the three months ended March
31, 2014 compared to $44,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. Major
expenses in 2014 consisted of consulting fees of $16,000, directors' and
officers' liability insurance premiums of $4,000 and legal fees of $26,000. In
2013, major expenses included consulting fees of $18,000, transfer agent and
stock exchange listing fees of $8,000, directors' and officers' liability
insurance premiums of $7,000 and legal fees of $2,000.
The $16,000 foreign exchange gain in the first quarter of 2014 exceeded the
$9,000 foreign exchange gain in the same quarter of 2013.
First Quarter Results
The major reason for the increase in the loss for the first quarter of 2014 to
$33,000 from the loss in the fourth quarter of 2013 of $19,000 was the increase
in general and administrative expenses from $31,000 to $49,000, due to an
increase in legal fees of $24,000 in connection with the proposed Alpha
transaction.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our operational activities for the three month ended March 31, 2014 were
financed by cash on hand. At March 31, 2014, we had working capital of $722,000,
compared to $784,000 at December 31, 2013. We had available cash of $749,000 at
March 31, 2014, compared to cash of $801,000 at December 31, 2013. The decrease
was due to the $33,000 operating loss incurred in the first quarter of 2014 and
the foreign currency translation adjustments of $29,000.
As at May 6, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company had 19,659,726 common shares
and options to purchase 1,950,000 common shares outstanding.
