BIOVENTIX PLC
FINAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010
2 NOVEMBER 2010
Chairman's and Chief Executive's Statement
The activities of the company remained largely unchanged during the financial
period. Resources continued to be focussed on the creation and supply of sheep
monoclonal antibodies for use on clinical diagnostics machines used at
hospitals, clinics and other laboratories. Such machines, provided by large
multinational diagnostics companies such as Roche Diagnostics (Mannheim),
Abbott Laboratories (Chicago), Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics (Deerfield) and
others, are used for the analysis of blood, urine and other samples from human
patients.
Over the last 12 months, the company has enjoyed a solid financial performance
with continued profitability and further strengthening of the balance sheet.
Revenues from the supply of purified antibodies together with royalty payments
derived from the sale of certain tests that feature Bioventix antibodies have
been roughly even.
Your attention is drawn to restatement of the results for the year ended 30
June 2009 which arises from a cumulative prior year adjustment of £369,728 in
respect of the accounting treatment of convertible loan notes. These loan notes
were converted in the year ended 30 June 2010 and this resulted in an
adjustment via reserves during the year.
The financial performance over the near future is expected to improve modestly
as income from new tests featuring Bioventix antibodies (eg for Estradiol and
testosterone) reach the market and royalty payments start to flow from these
advanced projects.
A major part of the company's research over the past two years has focussed on
the creation of antibodies to vitamin D. There is a high level of interest
within the medical community in testing for vitamin D (specifically 25-hydroxy
vitamin Ds) levels in patients, as a result of growing evidence of the
importance that this vitamin has in various areas of human health. Hence, there
is interest amongst Bioventix customers in antibodies that can be used in such
tests. This research has yielded interesting internal data on the Bioventix
vitamin D antibody portfolio, and one antibody in particular called vitD3.5H10
has exciting potential. A clearer picture of the utility of vitD3.5H10 will not
emerge until further customer feedback is obtained during 2011.
The substantial progress of Bioventix during the period is due above all to the
contributions of its employees and their commitment to Bioventix's future. On
behalf of the Board, we would like to thank them for their efforts which have
underpinned our success.
On 15 March 2010 Bioventix Limited re-registered as a Plc and hence is now
known as Bioventix plc. Bioventix plc is now trading on PLUSMarket, and was
quoted from April 2010. This resulted in a one off cost of £95,844.

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.
