BALANCE SHEET
On 31 March 2013, the balance sheet total was EUR 39.1 million (EUR 63.5
million) and the equity ratio 88.5% (81.6%).
FINANCING
Biohit Oyj's financial position is good and it allows strong investments in
business and product development as well as in the commercialization. At the
end of the quarter, the company's current financial assets were EUR 29.6
million. In addition, the company has EUR 6.8 million in receivables in an
escrow account from a business transaction made at the end of 2011. The funds
will be released on 31 March 2014, provided no claims concerning the
transaction are made.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development has focused on the further development and improvement
of existing innovations and products. The company also uses external experts
and subcontractors in its research and development operations. The development
expenditure has not been capitalised.
Development expenditure for the reporting period totalled EUR 0.2 million (EUR
0.2 million 1-3/2012).
INVESTMENTS
Gross investments during the reporting period totalled EUR 0.0 million (EUR 0.0
million).
PERSONNEL
During the reporting period, the average number of personnel employed by the
Group was 35 (36 in the corresponding period in 2012), of whom 29 (29) were
employed by the parent company and 6 (7) by subsidiaries. At the end of the
reporting period, the number of personnel was 34, of whom 28 were employed by
the parent company.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
The company's key risk factors are related to the development of the business
environment and the demand for the company's supply. These risk factors include
financial development of the selected market areas, the ability and willingness
of various countries to improve their healthcare systems (development
priorities, reimbursement practices, import restrictions, lengths of
registration times) and requirements set by customers on the products. In the
management of short-term risk factors, it is vital to take into account the
timely selection of new market areas, as well as the selection of professional
partners for them and the marketing of the requested product supply.
Business development and the launching of new products require significant
investments.
The aim of the investment activities related to the company's liquid assets is
to achieve profit at very low risk of capital loss. The investment portfolio
consists of deposits, money market investments and corporate loans. Sufficient
distribution of investments between asset categories, investment instruments
and counterparties is essential. The company uses at least two partners in its
investment activities.
OUTLOOK FOR 2013
Net sales for 2013 are expected to increase compared to 2012. In April 2013,
Biohit Oyj purchased an Italian diagnostics company through a directed share
issue and, at the same time, updated its guidelines. Predicting earnings in
this major restructuring and development phase is very challenging. However,
Biohit Oyj expects earnings to turn positive during 2014.
MAIN EVENTS IN THE REPORTING PERIOD
Biohit signs licensing agreement with GrandPharma
Biohit Oyj signed a distributor agreement with Chinese pharmaceutical company
GrandPharma Ltd. The agreement covers the marketing and distribution of
Biohit's Acetium in China and gives GrandPharma exclusive rights to use
Biohit's know-how and intellectual property rights in the distribution and
production of Acetium products in China. GrandPharma is a large-scale, modern
and comprehensive distributor and producer operating in the pharmaceutical
sector.
Clinical trial
Biohit Oyj has received the preliminary results of a clinical trial conducted
to determine the capacity of the company's new BioAcetium product to treat
Helicobacter pylori infections. Based on the results, Biohit Oyj has decided to
conduct further studies using longer treatment times. In the further studies,
BioAcetium will also be combined with an antibiotic that does not cause
development of antibiotic-resistant strains of the bacteria.
Acetium lozenge
Biohit Oyj and Tamro Oyj have agreed to tighten the cooperation concerning the
Acetium product family. Now, the cooperation shall include the marketing and
distribution of the new Acetium lozenge to pharmacies in Finland. This lozenge
effectively removes acetaldehyde dissolved into saliva during smoking. In 2008,
WHO stated that acetaldehyde is one of the major carcinogens in cigarette
smoke, and reducing exposure to these carcinogens should be mandatory. In
Finland, the new product became available for sale in pharmacies in April.
Acetaldehyde measurements
Biohit Oyj has carried out new measurements of acetaldehyde concentrations in
beer and yoghurts. Acetaldehyde is an apple-scented chemical compound that is
abundantly present in food produced through fermentation processes, such as
alcoholic beverages, vinegar and dairy products. In 2009, the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health
Organisation (WHO), classified acetaldehyde, which derives from alcoholic
products and forms in the body after their ingestion, as a Group I human
carcinogen.
Biohit Laboratory Services Oy
At the end of 2012, the company decided to incorporate its service laboratory
activities. From the beginning of 2013, Biohit Laboratory Services Oy offers
analyses of diagnostic tests developed by Biohit and the determination of
acetaldehyde concentrations in food and alcoholic beverages.
