Medgenics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MDGN and AIM: MEDU, MEDG) (the "Company"), the developer of a novel platform technology for the sustained production and delivery of therapeutic proteins in patients using their own tissue, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Form 10-Q includes unaudited interim consolidated financial statements containing the information presented below, as well as additional information regarding the Company. The Form 10-Q is available at www.sec.gov and at www.medgenics.com.
Highlights of the First Quarter and recent weeks:
· Raised gross proceeds of approximately $32 million in a public offering of common stock and warrants
· Appointed Joseph J. Grano, Jr., former Chairman and CEO of UBS Financial Services, to the Company's Board of Directors
· Received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent Office for claims that expand the patent protection for the Company's Biopumpäplatform technology for additional therapeutic proteins
· Reported interim results from the Company's ongoing Phase IIa study of EPODUREäto treat anemia in dialysis patients
Management Commentary
"During the first quarter we achieved important milestones that strengthened our position in key areas and advanced our strategic and clinical goals," stated Andrew L. Pearlman, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Medgenics. "We raised gross proceeds of approximately $32 million to strengthen our financial foundation, reported interim clinical results from our Phase IIa anemia trial in patients with end-stage renal disease, fortified our intellectual property and enhanced our Board of Directors with the appointment of Joseph J. Grano, Jr.
"We look forward to advancing our clinical studies in both Israel and the U.S. and to achieving a number of value-creating milestones throughout the remainder of 2013," concluded Dr. Pearlman.
First Quarter Financial Results
Gross research and development ("R&D") expense for the first quarter of 2013 increased to $2.03 million from $1.59 million for same period in 2012 due to an increase in R&D personnel. Net R&D expense for the 2013 first quarter was $2.03 million compared with net R&D expense of $0.57 million for the prior year's first quarter, when grants of $1.02 million were received from the Israel Office of the Chief Scientist.
General and administrative expense for the first quarter of 2013 was $2.55 million compared with $1.36 million for the first quarter of 2012, primarily due to increased stock-based compensation granted to directors and consultants.
Financial income for the first quarter of 2013 increased to $0.92 million from $0.02 million for the same period in 2012, mainly as a result of changes in valuation of the warrant liability.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $3.68 million or $0.29 diluted loss per share, compared with a net loss of $2.71 million or $0.28 per share in the comparable 2012 period.
As of March 31, 2013, Medgenics had cash and cash equivalents of $32.46 million, compared with $6.43 million as of December 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company used $2.80 million in net cash to fund operating activities, compared with $2.36 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
About Medgenics

MEDGENICS, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
U.S. dollars in thousands
|
NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. Medgenics, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in January 2000 in Delaware. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Medgenics Medical Israel Ltd. (formerly Biogenics Ltd.) (the "Subsidiary"), which was incorporated in Israel in March 2000. The Company and the Subsidiary are engaged in the research and development of products in the field of biotechnology and associated medical equipment and are thus considered development stage companies as defined in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") topic number 915, "Development Stage Entities" ("ASC 915").
On December 4, 2007 the Company's Common stock was admitted for trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
On April 13, 2011 the Company completed an Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of its Common stock on the NYSE Amex, raising $10,389 in net proceeds.
In February 2013, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 5,600,000 shares of Common stock and Series 2013-A warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,800,000 shares of Common stock. The shares and the warrants were sold together as a fixed combination, each consisting of one share of Common stock and a warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Common stock, at a price to the public of $5.25 per fixed combination. In March 2013, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase 470,000 shares of Common stock at $5.24 per share and 840,000 warrants to purchase 420,000 shares of Common stock at $0.01 per warrant. Gross proceeds were $31,871 or approximately $28,821 in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,550 and other offering costs of approximately $500.
b. The Company and the Subsidiary are in the development stage. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 of $3,679 and had a negative cash flow from operating activities of $2,800 during the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2013 is $68,255. The Company and the Subsidiary have not yet generated revenues from product sale. The Company previously generated income from partnering on development programs and expects to pursue its partnering activity. Management's plans also include seeking additional investments and commercial agreements to continue the operations of the Company and the Subsidiary.
The Company believes that the net proceeds of the underwritten public offering in February 2013, plus its existing cash and cash equivalents, should be sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirements through 2014.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 ("2012 Form 10-K") as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the 2012 Form 10-K, have been omitted.
NOTE 3:- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
A. Issuance of stock options, warrants and restricted shares to employees and directors
1. In January 2013, the Company granted 15,000 options and 7,000 shares of restricted Common stock to each of 5 non-executive Directors of the Company. These shares of Common stock are restricted in that they may not be disposed of and are not entitled to dividends. 50% of these shares were vested the day after the grant and 50% will vest one year from the grant date. All of the options are for a term of 10 years, vest in three equal installments and have an exercise price of $7.25. These options and shares of restricted Common stock were granted under the stock incentive plan. The fair value of these options and shares of restricted Common stock at the grant date was $4.449 per option and $7.50 per share. The Company recorded compensation expenses in the amount of $188 in the three months ended March 31, 2013.
2. In March 2013, the Company granted 10,000 shares of restricted Common stock to an employee. These shares are restricted in that they may not be disposed of and are not entitled to dividends. These restrictions will be removed in relation to 5,000 shares of Common stock on each of March 28, 2014 and March 28, 2015. The shares were issued under the stock incentive plan. The fair value of these shares of restricted Common stock at the grant date amounted to $49, and will be recognized as an expense using the straight line method.
A summary of the Company's activity for restricted shares granted to employees and directors is as follows:

As of March 31, 2013, there was $3,351 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.
The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the Company's Common share fair value as of March 31, 2013 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2013.
Calculation of aggregate intrinsic value is based on the share price of the Company's Common stock as of March 31, 2013 ($4.85 per share, as reported on the NYSE MKT).
B. Issuance of shares, stock options and warrants to consultants:
1. In January 2013, the Company issued a total of 55,000 shares of Common stock to two consultants. Total compensation, measured as the grant date fair market value of the stock, amounted to $462 and was recorded as an operating expense in the Statement of Operations. As part of the agreement with the consultant, the Company has an obligation to issue an additional 13,000 shares for services received during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
2. In March 2013, the Company approved the grant to two consultants of warrants to purchase a total of 25,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.99 per share. The warrants have a five year term and vested immediately upon issuance in April 2013. Total compensation amounted to $80 and was recorded as an operating expense in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 4:- FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS
The Company classified certain warrants with down-round protection issued to the purchasers of convertible debentures in 2010 as a liability at their fair value according to ASC 815-40-15-7I. The liability in respect of these warrants will be remeasured at each reporting period until exercised or expired. Changes in the fair value of these warrants are reported in the statements of operations as financial income or expense.
The fair value of these warrants was estimated at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 using the Binomial pricing model with the following assumptions:
|

|
|
|
|

NOTE 6:- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In March 2013, the Company announced the appointment of a new member of the Board of Directors effective March 15, 2013. In connection with the appointment, the new board member was awarded stock options covering up to 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at a per share exercise price of $4.99, subject to approval by the NYSE MKT of an additional listing application covering the issuance of the shares underlying such options. On April 12, 2013, prior to approval by the NYSE MKT of the additional listing application, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors determined instead to issue such options under the Company's stock incentive plan. 100,000 shares underlying such options vested immediately upon issuance in April 2013 and the remaining underlying shares will vest equally on each of March 15, 2014 and March 15, 2015, subject to continuous service through each vesting date. The options may only be exercised for cash and will expire on March 15, 2018. The Company recorded expenses in the amount of $261 in March 2013.
