Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
Apogee Technology, Inc. (AMEX: ATA), an emerging micro-systems and
nanotechnology company that designs, develops and commercializes medical
devices and sensor products, today reported its results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2006. Revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 was $509,000 compared with $1.5 million for the same
period in 2005. The Company’s net loss for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $739,000 or ($0.06) per share,
compared to net loss of $1.6 million or ($0.13) per share for the third
quarter of 2005.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company reported
revenue of $1.8 million and a loss of $2.4 million or ($0.20) per share.
This compares to revenue of $3.9 million and net loss of $4.6 million or
($0.39) per share for the same period in 2005. The decline in revenue is
related to the selling of certain assets of the Company’s
former audio division, including the DDX®
technology and associated royalties to SigmaTel, Inc. in October 2005.
Research and Development (“R&D”)
expenditures were $421,000 for the third quarter of 2006, compared to
$785,000 for the third quarter of 2005. Selling, General and
Administrative expenditures were $817,000 in the third quarter of 2006,
compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease in
expenses reflects a reduction in the Company’s
human resource expenses in connection with the SigmaTel transaction and
one-time costs associated with the restatement of the Company’s
financial statements, which was completed in 2005.
David Meyers, Apogee’s Chief Operating Officer
said, “In the Medical Group, we are developing
advanced transdermal drug delivery products and technologies designed
for pain-free, self-administration of both FDA-regulated and
non-regulated applications. In the regulated area we are in preclinical
development of our PyraDerm™ intradermal
delivery platform. This injection-free solution utilizes precision
micro-needle containing nano and micro-structured polymer drug delivery
formulations. The system is designed to create micro-channels through
the outer layer of the skin, or stratum corneum, to deliver drugs and
vaccines into the viable epidermis, which is potentially a needle-free
alternative for fast and efficient drug delivery. Over the last several
months, we have made significant progress toward the development of this
platform in the areas of intellectual property protection and the
development of our drug formulation technologies.
“In September, we expanded our intellectual
property base by filing five U.S. provisional patent applications. Three
of these applications pursue the protection of methods and compositions
for the delivery of therapeutics, vaccines and cosmetic compounds. Two
patent applications relate to novel drug delivery formulations and
micro-fabrication methods to coat our microneedles and similar medical
devices. If issued, we believe these patents will provide us a broad
proprietary position to pursue a range of drug delivery applications.
“In the past several months we have worked in
cooperation with four leading Universities to optimize our drug/polymer
coating formulations as well as the related manufacturing processes.
When fully developed we believe our approach will allow for fast
dissolution time resulting in rapid drug onset, efficiency of drug
encapsulation, high formulation stability and ease of storage. In order
to accelerate these efforts and to support the transition from the
research to development phase, we have retained leading researchers and
begun the installation of a formulation laboratory at our Norwood
facility. Our team now includes Dr. Alexander Andrianov, Vice President
of Research and Development and Dr. Alexander Marin, Senior Polymer
Scientist, who are experts in polymer/drug delivery technology. When
completed we believe our new laboratory will allow us to accelerate our
development progress at a lower cost while providing better control over
our intellectual property developments.”
Dr. Alexander Andrianov, Apogee’s Vice
President of Research and Development said, “Our
laboratory is being designed to carry out a broad range of formulation
and analytical activities. This laboratory will be critical to the
support of the upcoming in vivo evaluation of our PyraDerm delivery
system. The purpose of this testing will be to demonstrate the
advantages of our delivery system with a model vaccine antigen compared
to traditional needle injections. Upon the successful completion of
these tests, we plan to pursue licensing and development partnerships
with leading pharmaceutical companies. We believe that PyraDerm can
potentially address key market needs such as patient compliance,
self-administration, increased product shelf life and the protection of
market share by extending drug patent life through new transdermal
formulations. In particular, we intend to focus our partnership efforts
on companies that have, or are developing, small dosage, protein
therapeutics which could benefit from a transdermal delivery. Many such
proteins are currently being used to treat such diseases as diabetes,
osteoporosis, hepatitis and cancer.
“In addition, we believe PyraDerm can provide
additional advantages for vaccine delivery. This is because our systems
are designed to follow the natural pathway for protection by targeting
the epidermis rich in immunocompetent cells. We believe that this
approach has the potential to improve vaccine efficacy or conversely to
allow a lower dose to achieve the same efficacy, thereby increasing the
number of people who can be treated from a limited vaccine supply. This
benefit may be critical in a flu epidemic or bioterrorism attack.
Stability of our solid state formulation is another benefit that can be
especially important for viability and utility of such vaccines.”
Dr. Nena Golubovic-Liakopoulos, Vice President of Medical Products said, “In
addition to FDA regulated markets for our drug delivery technologies, we
plan to commercialize non regulated topical delivery products. Our
strategy is to leverage our delivery technologies to create products for
the cosmeceutical and netraceutical markets that could potentially
generate near term revenue growth for the Company. The key technology we
plan to leverage is our polymer delivery system formulated in a
specialized patch to deliver active ingredients to the skin. Potential
product applications are the delivery of polypeptide and protein
treatments, which could potentially serve the skincare market, estimated
to be $7 billion in the US.”
David Meyers continued, “In the Sensor Group,
we are focusing our efforts on the qualification and marketing of
Sensilica® die products as well as the
development of packaged sensor solutions. Sensilica devices are produced
using a unique “all-silicon”
manufacturing approach that reduces cost and size while improving
reliability over more traditional pressure sensor designs. We believe
these benefits can meet a wide range of pressure measurement
applications from vacuum to 1000 PSI including, barometric pressure
measurement, engine control and blood pressure monitoring. We recently
completed the qualification of our low-pressure sensor die and began
qualification testing of our medium and high-pressure die. We are also
working with several customers to develop customized packaged solutions
to meet their specific requirements. As an example, we recently shipped
samples of a metal packaged sensor to a company developing medical
products. Our strategy is to have a vertically integrated sensor product
line to support customer applications and reduce time to market.”
