RE: 2019 results and the future16 Jun 2020 16:42
yep, 2020 looks like it might well be pretty ugly, but otherwise Basic taking your example, if you assume another yr of revenue growth like 2019 and half the s&m and g&a do disappear, then you're getting pretty close to a positive result.
with focus being targeted almost entirely on an established product, NIOX, no product launches etc then achieving massive reductions to those costs isn't entirely unachievable.
i'm still wanting to believe that the grownups are managing this well, even with all the obstacles that covid and beyond air have thrown in.
LungFit™ PH (previously AirNOvent)
In January 2019, Circassia acquired the US and Chinese commercial rights to AirNOvent (now LungFit™ PH) from AIT Therapeutics Inc. (now BeyondAir Inc.). LungFit™ PH is a late-stage ventilator-compatible system that uses an electric voltage to produce nitric oxide from the nitrogen and oxygen in air. Inhaled nitric oxide is approved in the United States for use in the treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure associated with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). PPHN is potentially fatal and its management can be complex, involving a number of treatments including the use of oxygen and inhaled nitric oxide.
Agreement status
Under the terms of the companies' agreement, Circassia issued BeyondAir $10.5 million in new ordinary shares as consideration for upfront and milestone payments. Additional milestones, which are payable in cash or shares, include a payment of $12.6 million on FDA approval in the treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure associated with PPHN, and a further $1.05 million on the product's launch in China. Royalties will also be payable on gross profits from product sales.
Under the terms of the agreement, BeyondAir is responsible for the product's development, manufacture and US regulatory filing, and it currently anticipates submitting an application for Premarket Approval (PMA) in Q2 2020 for use in the treatment of PPHN. Circassia is responsible for the product's commercialisation following approval.
At the end of 2019, BeyondAir issued a notice stating that it had terminated the companies' agreement for material breach. Circassia strongly disputes and intends to challenge BeyondAir's allegations and its purported termination. The Company has retained counsel and intends to take steps to enforce its rights under the agreement.
