Interim Results to 31 December 2010
Bioventix plc
INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
Chairman's and Chief Executive's Statement
We are pleased to report the results for the six months ended 31 December 2010.
Revenues for the period of £890,256 (2009: £768,419) have continued to grow in
particular from the supply of purified antibodies to the multinational
diagnostics companies that form Bioventix's customer base. Most of this growth
has come from sales of antibodies to vitamin D which has been the subject of
intensive internal research since the summer of 2008. It is pleasing to see
that the technical success previously reported for the vitamin D project has
begun to translate into revenues for the company.
Profit before tax of £493,511 (2009:£386,210) has increased during the
half-year as a result of the growth in revenues. Cash balances at 31 December
2010 were £1,494,710 (2009:£1,475,671). In addition, the company continued with
its research and development activities aimed at augmenting the pipeline of
future antibodies for commercialisation at Bioventix's customers.
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.
The Board of Bioventix is pleased to declare an interim dividend of 4.4p per
Ordinary share. The shares will be marked ex-dividend on 23 March 2011 and the
dividend will be paid on 28 March 2011 to shareholders on the register at close
of business on 25 March 2011.
