Chairman's Statement
"….The Company 's net asset value per share rose by 18.4% and the share price
by 25.4% during the period. This represents a substantial outperformance of
both the benchmark and the wider market".
PERFORMANCE
This is my first statement as Chairman. It is an honour to succeed John
Sclater, our founding Chairman.
I am delighted to report that against a background of continued economic and
political uncertainty, the biotechnology sector has continued its strong
performance driven, in part, by an increasing expectation that the sector will
continue successfully to develop new drugs. The MSCI World Index fell by 1.0%
in sterling terms during the period while the Company's benchmark, the NASDAQ
Biotechnology Index, measured in sterling terms, rose by 14.9%. The Company's
net asset value per share rose by 18.4% during the period. This represents a
substantial outperformance of both the benchmark and the wider market. The
Company's share price performed better still, rising by 25.4%, as the discount
of the share price to the net asset value per share narrowed from 5.9% at 31
March 2012 to 0.3% at 30 September 2012.
I am pleased to report that the Company won the Specialist Category at the 2012
Investment Week Investment Company of the Year Awards; our Manager, Frostrow
Capital LLP, also won the Specialist Group of the Year award.
In addition, for the second year in succession, our Investment Manager OrbiMed
Capital LLC, won the techMark Technology Fund Manager of the Year award for its
management of the Company's portfolio.
Further information on investment performance and the outlook for the Company
is given in the Review of Investments.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The Board has continued to implement its policy of active discount management
and to buy back shares for cancellation when the discount of the share price
against the net asset value per share is greater than 6%. During the six months
under review the Company repurchased a total of 19,079 shares for cancellation
at a cost of £47,000 (including expenses).
However, I am pleased to report that as a result of the Company's strong
performance, we have been able to issue 835,000 new shares during the six
months under review at a price representing a small premium to net asset value
per share. The shares were issued under shareholder authority and raised £
2,344,000 of new funds for the Company.
REVENUE AND DIVIDENDS
The revenue profit for the period was £18,000 (six months ended 30 September
2011: loss of £170,000) and no interim dividend is declared (six months ended
30 September 2011: nil).
OUTLOOK
The development of new products and the prospect of merger and acquisition
activity continue to be key drivers for the biotechnology sector. The Board
remains confident on the prospects for the sector with the portfolio being well
positioned to benefit from this activity.
Our Investment Manager's focus remains on the selection of stocks with strong
prospects for capital enhancement and we reiterate our belief that the
long-term investor in the sector will be well rewarded.
THE RT HON LORD WALDEGRAVE OF NORTH HILL
CHAIRMAN
23 NOVEMBER 2012
Review of Investments
"...The biotechnology sector strongly outperformed the broader markets during
the review period."
PERFORMANCE
We are pleased to report that the Company's net asset value per share increased
18.4% during the six month period ended 30 September 2012. This compares to a
14.9% increase in the Company's benchmark, the sterling-adjusted NASDAQ
Biotechnology Index. The Company's share price increased 25.4% during the
period.
Top contributors to performance in the portfolio were Onyx Pharmaceuticals,
Gilead Sciences, Affymax, Amgen, and Infinity Pharmaceuticals.
• Onyx Pharmaceuticals shares increased following the U.S. approval of its
myeloma drug, Kyprolis. Due to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
having previously expressed reluctance to consider the drug due to the design
of the clinical trials, the positive FDA advisory panel vote and the ultimate
approval came as a surprise to the market. With Kyprolis as a fully owned
asset, Nexavar as a co-marketed product for liver and kidney cancer, and a
royalty interest in Stivarga for colorectal cancer, we believe Onyx is also an
attractive acquisition target.
• Shares of Gilead Sciences rose over the period due to positive data announced
in April for their lead hepatitis C drug GS-7977. Investor confidence in the
drug's best-in-class profile has continued to increase as other companies have
terminated competing programmes due to toxicity concerns. Gilead also received
approval for Stribild, a four-drug regimen for HIV.
• Shares of Affymax increased over the period due to increasing optimism about
the launch of their recently approved anemia drug Omontys. The company was able
to secure an initial supply contract with the dialysis chain Fresenius, which
could potentially pave the way for eventual adoption of Omontys by one-third of
U.S. dialysis clinics.
• Amgen shares increased due to consistent low-risk earnings growth supported
by share buybacks and a secure dividend yield. Investors view the company as
having a compelling valuation relative to large pharmaceutical companies.
• Infinity Pharmaceuticals, a recent addition to the portfolio, was also a top
contributor. Infinity is developing a PI3 kinase delta/gamma inhibitor for
haematological cancers. The stock increased after the company announced that
the initial clinical trial had demonstrated a response at the lowest doses
tested along with an adequate safety profile. We look forward to seeing the
full proof of concept data presented at the American Society of Haematology
meeting in December.
Key detractors from performance were from positions in Idenix Pharmaceuticals,
3SBio, Salix Pharmaceuticals, and Incyte Genomics.
• Idenix Pharmaceuticals' shares declined due to the company's lead drug
candidate being placed on clinical hold by the U.S. FDA. The compound, a
polymerase inhibitor for hepatitis C, is structurally related to a compound
discontinued by Bristol-Myers Squibb due to significant cardiac toxicity seen
in clinical trials. We exited the position on the news, as it is unclear if the
company will be able to restart the programme.
• Shares of 3SBio declined due to increasing investor concerns about possible
government-mandated price cuts on its lead anemia drug EPIAO. Recently the
company's management team proposed a buyout offer for all the shares they do
not already own, suggesting they view the asset as undervalued.
• Salix Pharmaceuticals' shares were weak due to the FDA rejection of their
supplemental drug application for Relistor for Opioid induced constipation in
chronic pain. We expect that the company will be able to address the FDA's
concerns.
• Incyte Genomics declined due to disappointing 2012 guidance for its recently
launched product, Jakafi for Myelofibrosis. The launch of Jakafi had been off
to a good start in fourth quarter of 2011 and in the first quarter of 2012.
However, the company disclosed that many of the initial patients prescribed the
drug were sicker than expected, causing a higher than expected discontinuation
rate. We believe that the guidance was conservative, and that the patients
prescribed Jakafi more recently have a more favourable prognosis. Therefore we
expect the sales trajectory to improve.
OUTLOOK
The biotechnology sector strongly outperformed the broader market during the
review period. The outperformance was broad-based, with strong performance from
large-capitalisation stocks which benefitted from strong financial performance
and favourable valuations compared to their pharmaceutical peers, and from
smaller-capitalisation stocks which benefitted from positive pipeline
advancement and the increase in merger and acquisition activity beginning last
year.
We expect the positive momentum in the sector to be sustained, driven by
clinical catalysts and new product launches. Specifically with regard to drug
launches for portfolio companies, we highlight the following recently launched
products:
• Medivation and partner Astellas recently launched Xtandi for advanced
prostate cancer. This drug has shown impressive efficacy in late stage
patients. We expect strong demand for the drug in its labeled indication. Over
the longer term we expect this drug to have multi-billion dollar potential as
it is used in earlier stage patients with longer duration of therapy.
• In September, VIVUS launched Qsymia for obesity in the U.S. This drug
combination is the first obesity drug to reach the market in 13 years. Clinical
trials have shown that patients lose about 10% of their body weight after a
year of treatment. We expect this drug to have good gradual adoption into this
large market.
• Onyx recently launched Kyprolis for refractory myeloma. Initial feedback
suggests a robust uptake into that market. We expect positive clinical trial
data in earlier line use in combination with Revlimid in 2013 which should
significantly grow the drug's potential.
On the regulatory front, in June the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against a
challenge to the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") that could have invalidated
the entire law. Readers may recall that we have previously maintained that the
Affordable Care Act's expansion of coverage with manageable cost control has
not had a major negative effect on the biotechnology sector. The focus in
November then turned to the U.S. Presidential election and, despite a late run
in the polls by Governor Romney, President Obama was re-elected. With regard to
the U.S. legislature, the Republican Party maintained control of the House of
Representatives with slightly fewer seats while the Democrats maintained
control of the Senate, actually increasing their number of seats. The net
result was status quo, and therefore we expect the impact to be minor for the
biotechnology sector.
The number of holdings in the portfolio remains approximately 40. The
geographic distribution of investments is 90% North America, 5% Europe and 5%
Asia. Currently approximately 40% of the Company's assets are invested in major
capitalisation companies, and 60% are invested in small and mid-capitalisation
companies. We continue to see many opportunities within the sector and look
forward to updating investors in the future.
