FINAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
13 SEPTEMBER 2011
The Chairman and the Chief Executive present their statement for the period.
We are delighted to report the results for the year ended 30 June 2011.
Revenues for the period of £1,973,542 (2010 : £1,578,162) have grown by 25%.
The growth in sales to the multinational diagnostics companies that form
Bioventix's customer base is due to an increased supply of purified antibody
products for customers' research and development ("R&D"), and commercial use
and increased royalties from established antibody products. Profit before tax
of £1,083,620 (2010 : £682,706) has increased through a combination of the
growth in revenues and controlling of the cost base of the company. Cash
balances at 30 June 2011 were £1,531,644 (2010 : £1,349 084).
One of the most exciting developments for the company has been the vitamin D
project which has been the subject of intensive internal R&D since the summer
of 2008. A leading antibody called vitD3.5H10 has moved into large scale
manufacturing at the company in order to supply increased quantities of
antibody required for our customers' own R&D use. Revenue from the supply of
this product has been generated for the first time during the period. No major
licensing deals have yet been concluded, however, the Directors are optimistic
about the future value of this particular antibody and anticipate that
significant licensing deals will be forthcoming in the future.
The company has continued with its own R&D activities aimed at augmenting the
pipeline of future antibodies for commercialisation at Bioventix's customers.
The continued success of the company is based on the ability to create and
manufacture unique antibodies in a global and competitive environment. This is
made possible by the creativity and focus of the scientists and support staff
at the company and we would like to thank them for their efforts which have
underpinned our success.
The Board of Bioventix is pleased to declare a final dividend of 6.6p per
Ordinary share. The shares will be marked ex-dividend on 21 September 2011 and
the dividend will be paid on 3 October 2011 to shareholders on the register at
close of business on 23 September 2011.
SpringHill BioVentures (SBV) continues to hold a substantial majority stake in
the company. The board believes that SBV will distribute its shares to
individual shareholders as part of its fund exit within the next 12 months.

About Bioventix plc
Bioventix (www.bioventix.com) specialises in the development and commercial
supply of high-affinity monoclonal antibodies with a primary focus on their
application in clinical diagnostics, such as in automated immunoassays used in
blood testing. The antibodies created at Bioventix are generated in sheep and
are of particular benefit where the target is present at low concentration and
where conventional monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies have failed to produce a
suitable reagent. Bioventix currently offers a portfolio of antibodies to
customers for both commercial use and R&D purposes, for the diagnosis or
monitoring of a broad range of conditions, including heart disease, cancer,
fertility, thyroid function and drug abuse. Bioventix currently supplies
antibody products and services to the majority of multinational clinical
diagnostics companies.
Bioventix is based in Farnham, UK and its shares (BVXP) were admitted to
trading on PLUS-quoted in April 2010.
