YM BioSciences Reports Operational and Financial Results for the
First Quarter of Fiscal 2013
MISSISSAUGA,
ON, Nov. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/
- YM BioSciences Inc. (NYSE MKT: YMI, TSX: YM), a drug
development company advancing hematology and cancer related
products, today reported operational and financial results for the
first quarter of fiscal 2013, ended September 30, 2012.
"During the quarter we prepared for pivotal
trials with CYT387 while continuing to explore potential
opportunities to further develop and/or commercialize our drug with
other companies," said Dr. Nick
Glover, President and CEO of YM BioSciences. "We look
forward to reporting final results from the 166 patient Phase I/II
study of CYT387 in myelofibrosis, which have been selected for
presentation in an Oral Session at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the
American Society of Hematology."
Summary Financial Results (CDN
dollars)
The interim consolidated financial statements and comparative
information for fiscal 2013 have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
Revenue, generated from out-licensing remained
constant for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ending September 30, 2012 at $0.3
million compared with $0.3
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ending
September 30, 2011.
Net finance income was $0.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013
compared to net finance income of $7.5
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The changes in
net finance income are primarily attributable to changes in the
fair value adjustment for USD warrants. Under IFRS, warrants
denominated in a different currency than the Company's functional
currency must be classified as a financial liability and measured
at fair value, with changes reflected in profit or loss. For the
first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company realized a gain of
$1.7 million on the revaluation of
warrants, compared to a gain of $5.4
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Licensing and product development expenses were
$7.2 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2013 compared with $6.5
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Development
expenses for CYT387 increased due to preparations for the Phase III
program in myelofibrosis, the extension of the Phase I/II clinical
trial in myelofibrosis, ongoing costs associated with the BID
study, pre-clinical development activities, and manufacturing of
drug for these programs.
General and administrative expenses were
$2.0 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2013 compared to $2.2 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily due to lower
non-cash share-based compensation expense.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2013
was $8.5 million ($0.05 per share) compared to $0.9 million ($0.01
per share) for the same period last year.
As at September 30,
2012 the Company had cash and short-term deposits totaling
$125.5 million and accounts payable
and accrued liabilities totaling $5.0
million compared to $132.5
million and $3.1 million
respectively as at June 30, 2012.
As at September 30,
2012 the Company had 157,546,793 common shares and 7,366,418
warrants outstanding.

About YM BioSciences
YM BioSciences Inc. is a drug development company primarily focused
on advancing CYT387, an orally administered inhibitor of both the
JAK1 and JAK2 kinases, which have been implicated in a number of
hematological and immune cell disorders including
myeloproliferative neoplasms and inflammatory diseases as well as
certain cancers. Positive interim results have been reported from a
Phase I/II trial of CYT387 in 166 patients with myelofibrosis. YM's
portfolio also includes nimotuzumab, a humanized monoclonal
antibody targeting EGFR with an enhanced side-effect profile over
currently marketed EGFR-targeting antibodies. Nimotuzumab is being
evaluated in numerous Phase II and III trials worldwide. In
addition, YM has several preclinical programs underway with
candidates from its library of novel compounds identified through
internal research conducted at YM BioSciences Australia.
This press release may contain
forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's current
expectation regarding future events. These forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results, events or developments to be materially different from any
future results, events or developments expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not
limited to, changing market conditions, the successful and timely
completion of clinical studies, the establishment of corporate
alliances, the impact of competitive products and pricing, new
product development, uncertainties related to the regulatory
approval process or the ability to obtain drug product in
sufficient quantity or at standards acceptable to health regulatory
authorities to complete clinical trials or to meet commercial
demand; and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's
ongoing quarterly and annual reporting. Certain of the assumptions
made in preparing forward-looking statements include but are not
limited to the following: that CYT387 and nimotuzumab will generate
positive efficacy and safety data in ongoing and future clinical
trials, and that YM as well as CIMYM's various licensees will
complete their respective clinical trials and disclose data within
the timelines communicated in this release. Except as required by
applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
