GT Advanced Tech (GTAT) and Powertec Energy Corporation Sign MoU

GT Advanced Technologies (NASDAQ: GTAT) and Powertec Energy Corporation (“Powertec”) announced today the execution of a memorandum of understanding (MOU), which states Powertec’s intention to purchase polysilicon technology and equipment from GT for their phase 2 and 3 expansion projects. Design work for these projects has begun and Powertec currently expects to begin ordering GT equipment and technology in the second half of 2014.

Powertec was founded in 2010 with WalsinLihwa Group, United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), and Sino American Silicon Products Inc. (SAS) as major shareholders. In 2011, Powertec began its phase 1 project, located in Taiwan’s Changbin Industrial Park, at which time it purchased 6,000 MTA polysilicon production technology and equipment from GT. The equipment for phase 1 was shipped in 2012. Powertec’s phase 1 project is on track for commercial operation in the first half of 2014 in line with when the solar industry, which has experienced a downturn since 2011, is expected to recover.

“When our plant is fully operational next year, we will immediately begin debottlenecking work to increase our phase 1 capacity to 7,500 MTA. We expect to produce high-quality polysilicon at a cash cost that will enable us to successfully compete on a global scale,” said YiYi Tai, chairman of Powertec.“In addition, Powertec and GT have already started designing the phase 2 and 3 expansion projects. Construction of our next phase is expected to begin immediately after the successful startup of phase 1. Total capacity at our current site is expected to reach 27,500 MTA after all three phases are completed.”

With increasing demand for higher solar power conversion efficiency, polysilicon quality is becoming increasingly important. In addition, there is strong demand in Taiwan from leading Taiwan semiconductor companies such as UMC and SAS for ultra high-quality electronic-grade polysilicon. Powertec’s phase 1 high-quality capacity as well as phase 2 and 3 electronic grade capacity are expected to meet not only future solar demand, but also domestic semiconductor industry demand in Taiwan.

Scott Kuo, president of Powertec, said, “GT is recognized for its industry-leading polysilicon production technology with a successful track record of helping top-tier producers achieve high volume, low-cost production. The combination of our highly experienced team with GT’s ongoing support and cooperation with our current and future polysilicon production plans form a powerful partnership, and this MOU is a testament to our great confidence in each other.”

“Powertec is building a world class polysilicon facility,” said Dave Keck, GT Advanced Technologies executive vice president,world-wide sales and service. “It has a top tier organization with the experience to be a leader in supplying both electronic and solar grade polysilicon. GT and Powertec look forward to future collaboration as Powertec expands their polysilicon production capabilities.”

InfuSystem (INFU) Reports Higher Fourth Quarter 2012 Revenues

InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INFU) (“InfuSystem” or the “Company”), a leading national provider of infusion pumps and related services for the healthcare industry in the United States, today reported its second consecutive quarter of profitability in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2012.

Net income in the fourth quarter was $0.2 million, equal to $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a $0.8 million net loss, or $0.04 loss per diluted share, in the prior year period. For the full year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s net loss was $1.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $45.4 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, in 2011. The prior- year period included a $67.6 million asset impairment charge.

Gross profit for the three months ending December 31, 2012, was $12.0 million, up 48% from $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Gross profit for the full year 2012 was $42.9 million, an increase of 21% compared to $35.4 million in 2011.

Revenues in the fourth quarter were $16.2 million, up 16% from $14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, were $58.8 million, an 8% improvement from $54.6 million in 2011. The increase in revenues is primarily related to the addition of larger customers, increased penetration into existing customer accounts, and the resolution of the oncology drug shortage from 2011. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2012, a major group of third party payors revised their claim processing guidelines that affected all durable medical equipment providers, which pushed some claims to be billed at higher out-of-network rates directly to patients.

SG&A increased to $10.4 million from $8.8 million, in addition to other expenses of $1.2 million compared with $0.5 million of other income a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the latest quarter was $3.8 million, up from the $1.5 million for the prior-year period, as adjusted on a comparable basis.

“We are very pleased with our improved fourth quarter performance and fiscal year-over-year growth for the Company,” said Dilip Singh, Interim Chief Executive Officer. “The Company has accumulated annualized cost-savings of approximately $1.6 million since the current management team took control in April of 2012. That, combined with our securing a new debt facility during the fourth quarter, has helped restore the Company’s liquidity and create a far stronger balance sheet. Equally important, we have generated sufficient momentum to increase the number of third-party payor relationships and expand our provider footprint while delivering best in class service and patient satisfaction. Our efforts are now clearly focused on sustaining long-term growth,” Singh added.

Operating Results

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $42.9 million, an increase of 21% compared to $35.4 million in the prior year. It represented 73% of revenues in the current year compared to 65% in the prior year. The increase in the gross margin as a percentage of revenue in 2012 was primarily related to the increase in rental revenue, specifically third party billings, which generally have a higher gross profit margin.

Selling and marketing expenses were $9.9 million compared to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in selling and marketing expenses is primarily related to expenses incurred by the increase in associated revenues as well as increased retention and travel costs. Compared to the prior year, these expenses remained consistent at 17% of revenues.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses were $23.1 million, compared to $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. General and administrative expenses have increased from 33% to 39% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional service costs related to the Concerned Stockholder Group. Additional legal, accounting and outside service fees of $2.2 million were incurred during the year relating to this matter and the related early extinguishment of debt; severance payments for the former CEO amounted to $1.0 million; $0.6 million was recorded for retention payments to key employees during this ongoing matter; and we incurred $0.6 million associated with our decision to evaluate potential strategic alternatives.

Additional increases were mainly attributed to an increase in finance and accounting staff and several other general and administrative accounts. These costs were partially offset by the reversal of previously recognized stock compensation expense of $1.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $13.1 million for the latest fiscal year. This compares to 2011’s adjusted EBITDA, adjusted on a comparable basis, of $10.3 million. The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as a means to measure its operating performance. A reconciliation from Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to net income can be found in the appendix.

Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operations for fiscal 2012 was $5.5 million, down from the $6.7 million for the prior year. This decrease is mainly attributed to higher accounts receivable levels due to the higher revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012. As of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million and $4.7 million of availability on the revolving line-of-credit compared to $0.8 million and $4.9 million of availability on the revolving line-of-credit at December 31, 2011. This increase is due to the new credit facility and better cash management during the year.

Conference Call

The Company will conduct a conference call for investors on Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss fourth quarter performance and results. Dilip Singh, Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Jonathan P. Foster, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss the Company’s financial performance and answer questions from the financial community. To participate in this call, please dial in toll-free (888) 895-5479 and use the confirmation number 34394082.

In the year ahead, we remain focused on working with our major OEM partners to roll out our new products across a wide range of industries. Despite near-term declines related to our mature business, we believe that this transition period will ultimately lead to a more diversified business model.”

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the information set forth herein, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, may be considered non-GAAP financial measures.

Netlist’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating Netlist’s operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-financial measures as reported by Netlist may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

Alderon (AXX), Labrador City and Wabush Sign MOUs to Formalize Working Relationship

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwire) — 03/26/13 — Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (TSX:ADV)(NYSE MKT: AXX) (“Alderon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with each of the Towns of Labrador City and Wabush as work progresses toward receiving project related approvals for the Kami iron ore project (the “Kami Project”).

Recognizing the tremendous potential benefits for the region and acknowledging the importance of working collaboratively towards achieving those benefits, Alderon and both towns agree in the MOUs to formalize their working relationship and to facilitate community consultation and input. Alderon will establish separate committees with both towns, and schedule regular meetings to address any issues or concerns. This will serve to further enhance community engagement as the Kami Project progresses.

“These MOUs build upon our strong established track record of consultation and cooperation with the communities and residents of Labrador City and Wabush,” said Tayfun Eldem, President and CEO of Alderon. “The Kami Project will further build on Labrador’s reputation as a significant producer of iron ore, create long-term jobs and spur economic activity. We acknowledge that our activity will impact the local community and we want to work cooperatively with both towns to ensure we identify any issues and concerns, and develop mutually acceptable mitigation measures.”

Alderon has already held several public information sessions, conducted extensive meetings with Town Councils and engaged in general community consultation. The outcome of these interactions has been reflected in the Environmental Impact Statement filed in September 2012. The process agreed to in the MOUs will facilitate discussion on such topics as: community infrastructure, environmental concerns, and accommodations for workers.

“Labrador City welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively with Alderon in the development of the Kami Project, whereby the interests of our residents are protected and the community enhanced,” said Karen Oldford, Mayor of the Town of Labrador City. “We appreciate the corporate responsibility demonstrated by Alderon and look forward to more of the same as this project progresses.”

“I am encouraged with the potential that the Kami Project can bring to the Town of Wabush, and we will continue to work with Alderon to ensure the safety of the operation,” said Ron Barron, Mayor of Wabush. “The Kami Project will benefit our community, and will allow us the resources to plan ahead and make our town an even better place to live in the future. I look forward to a long and prosperous partnership.”

The Kami Project will create 800 jobs during the peak of construction and greater than 500+ full time jobs over the life of the 30 year mine. It will generate over $7 billion in Federal and Provincial taxes (direct, indirect and induced) and contribute over $20 billion to the Newfoundland & Labrador GDP.

About Alderon

Digital Ally, Inc. (DGLY) Announces 2012 Operating Results

LENEXA, KS — (Marketwire) — 03/26/13 — Digital Ally, Inc. (NASDAQ: DGLY), which develops, manufactures and markets advanced video surveillance products for law enforcement, homeland security and commercial applications, today announced its operating results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2012. An investor conference call is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. EDT tomorrow, March 27, 2013 (see details below).

FY2012 Highlights:

  • FY2012 revenue totaled $17.6 million, compared with $19.6 million in the previous year.
  • Gross profit margin improved to 54% of revenue in FY2012 vs. 45% in FY2011.
  • Total SG&A expenses declined 10% in the most recent year when compared with the previous year.
  • The Company incurred certain non-recurring expenses during the fourth quarter of 2012, including costs related to the consolidation of its operations into a new facility and expenses related to the discontinuation of certain early version digital video mirror systems.
  • The Company recorded a net loss of approximately ($2.0 million) in FY2012, which represented a 50% improvement relative to a FY2011 net loss of approximately ($4.0 million).
  • New products introduced since the third quarter of FY2010 generated 13% of product sales in FY2012 vs. 8% of total sales in FY2011.
  • International revenue decreased to approximately $1.0 million in FY2012 (6% of total revenue), compared with approximately $2.0 million (10% of total revenue) in the previous year.
  • During FY2012, the Company began to realize meaningful benefits from the reorganization of (1) its manufacturing operations to more effectively outsource component parts production and (2) its law enforcement sales force.
  • The Company ended FY2012 with available unrestricted cash of $703,000 and restricted cash of $662,000 on its balance sheet.
  • The Company implemented a reverse stock split in the third quarter of FY2012 in order to remain listed on Nasdaq.

“The year ended December 31, 2012 was marked by tremendous progress in terms of improving our Company’s production efficiencies and reducing the level of revenue required for profitability,” stated Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Ally, Inc. “Our ability to achieve these goals was particularly impressive in light of a challenging economic environment, which has negatively impacted state, county and municipal government budgets that fund the law enforcement agencies that represent our primary customer base. Gross profit margins improved significantly, from 45% in 2011 to 54% in 2012, as we realized benefits from improved outsourcing of components and other supplier cost reduction initiatives. We also reduced our corporate and manufacturing overhead substantially and reorganized our law enforcement products sales force in a manner that more effectively ties the compensation of our sales personnel to relevant performance metrics. The overall benefit from these actions was evident in a 50% reduction in our net loss for 2012 on revenue that was 10% lower than 2011 levels.”

“We believe Digital Ally is well-positioned to leverage its more cost-effective infrastructure and outsourcing capabilities into a restoration of profitability with even modest growth in revenue. The new products that we have introduced during the past 30 months are gaining acceptance in the marketplace, and such products accounted for 13% of our sales in 2012, compared with 8% in the previous year. Our sales initiatives outside the law enforcement industry are also beginning to bear fruit, as illustrated by our recent receipt of an order from the largest near-airport parking company in the United States to complete the deployment of 344 DVM-250Plus commercial event recorders. Our goal is to make further inroads with commercial customers in a number of industries during the current year.”

“We believe our reorganized sales force can take full advantage of a recovery in demand for domestic law enforcement equipment and opportunities to penetrate the commercial market with new products. We have also reorganized our international sales force after several years of underperformance, with very positive initial results, and we believe our new international sales structure should allow revenue from foreign customers to improve,” concluded Ross.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s revenue declined 10% to approximately $17.6 million, compared with revenue of approximately $19.6 million in FY2011. However, gross profit improved 8% to $9,481,987 (54% of revenue) in FY2012, versus $8,771,930 (45% of revenue) in FY2011. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to lower component costs resulting from the Company’s supplier cost reduction initiative. Better outsourcing, including from foreign sources, allowed the Company to lower component costs for products sold. Furthermore, the Company continued to reduce production costs through operating efficiencies and a significant reduction in manufacturing overhead costs. The Company’s goal is to continue to improve gross margins in FY2013 through the supply chain initiative, reduced manufacturing overhead, increased sales volumes and an improved product mix, the benefits of which may be partially offset by increased price competition in the in-car video system market.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 10% in the year ended December 31, 2012, to $11,168,505, compared with $12,396,731 in the previous year. If net litigation charges of $313,950 are excluded from FY2012 results, SG&A expenses declined 12% in FY2012 versus FY2011. The improvement in SG&A expenses resulted from the success of the Company’s cost containment and reduction initiative, which was evident in lower research and development costs; stock-based compensation expense; professional fees; and executive, sales and administrative staff payroll expense, partially offset by higher selling, advertising and promotional expense and the abovementioned net charges related to the settlement of lawsuits. The Company is appealing certain court rulings against it in the lawsuit with Z3 Technologies. If the appeal is successful, the Company could recoup some of the litigation costs that penalized its operating results in FY2012.

The Company reported an operating loss of ($1,686,518) in FY2012. This represented a 53% improvement when compared with an operating loss of ($3,624,801) in FY2011.

Interest income declined to $10,088 and the Company incurred $294,559 of interest expense on borrowings in the year ended December 31, 2012. Interest income and interest expense totaled $16,108 and $224,460, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company also recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt totaling $131,093 in FY2011. No such loss was recorded in FY2012.

The Company reported a 50% reduction in net loss, which totaled ($1,970,989) in FY2012 on both a pretax and after-tax basis, compared with a pretax and after-tax net loss of ($3,962,246) in FY2011. No income tax provision or benefit was recorded for either FY2012 or FY2011. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carry forwards, until it determines that it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to realize such assets.

The Company reported a net loss of ($0.97) per share for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with a net loss of ($1.96) per share in the year ended December 31, 2011.

All per share figures and the number of shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split that was effective August 24, 2012.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported an adjusted net loss (before income taxes, depreciation, amortization, interest expense, net litigation settlement charges, stock-based compensation, and loss on extinguishment of debt), a non-GAAP financial measure, of ($168,963), or ($0.08) per share, in FY2012, which represented a 90% reduction in adjusted net loss when compared with ($1,707,358), or ($0.85) per share, in the year ended December 31, 2011. (Non-GAAP adjusted net income is described in greater detail in a table at the end of this press release).

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, revenue improved 8% to approximately $4.6 million, compared with revenue of approximately $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of FY2011.

Gross profit increased 30% to $2,392,397 (52% of revenue) in the final quarter of FY2012, compared with $1,841,104 (43% of revenue) in the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The Company was able to reduce Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses by 11% to $2,807,221 in the fourth quarter of FY2012, versus $3,143,348 in the prior-year period. The improvement in SG&A expenses resulted from lower stock-based compensation and a 24% reduction in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher research and development costs, a modest increase in selling, advertising and promotional expenses, and additional litigation expense.

The Company’s reduced its operating loss 68% to ($414,824) in the fourth quarter of FY2012, when compared with an operating loss of ($1,302,244) in the corresponding period of the previous year.

No income tax provision or benefit was recorded in the fourth quarters of either FY2012 or FY2011. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carry forwards, until it determines that it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to realize such assets.

Dover Saddlery (DOVR) Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Financial Results

LITTLETON, MA — (Marketwire) — 03/26/13 — Dover Saddlery, Inc. (NASDAQ: DOVR), the leading multichannel retailer of equestrian products, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Fourth quarter results

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased 11.0% to $26.4 million over the same period in the prior year: retail store revenues increased 16.7% to $10.5 million, and direct revenues increased 7.6% to $15.9 million. Same-store sales increased 2.4% in the quarter.

Net income for the quarter increased 39.6% to $895,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, from $641,000 or $0.12 achieved in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Stephen L. Day, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our excellent holiday performance is a reflection of the strength of the Dover Saddlery brand as the source for the best selection and service during the all-important gift purchasing season.”

Full Year Results

Total revenues for the fiscal year 2012 increased 6.5% to $86.0 million from $80.8 million achieved during 2011. As a result of the opening of new stores and same-store sales increasing 6.0%, retail store revenues increased 19.9% to $36.5 million. The company opened three Dover Saddlery retail stores during 2012, in Warrington, PA, Medina MN and Raleigh, NC, bringing the total number of retail stores to eighteen. Direct revenues for the fiscal year 2012, decreased 1.7% to $49.5 million, mainly due to consumer uncertainty that led to soft sales in the second and third quarters.

Net income for fiscal 2012 was $1,589,000, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $1,724,000 or $0.31 per diluted share achieved in the fiscal year 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2012 was $4.6 million, compared to $4.8 million achieved in 2011. A reconciliation of the net income calculated in accordance with GAAP and the non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure is provided in the table accompanying this press release.

Dover Saddlery will be hosting a conference call at 4:30 P.M. ET today to discuss the fourth quarter and full year 2012 results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Information

From time to time, in addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company provides financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and ongoing operations. The Company believes that these non-GAAP operating measures supplement our GAAP financial information and provide useful information to investors for evaluating the Company’s operating results and trends that may be affecting the Company’s business, as they allow investors to more readily compare our operations to prior financial results and our future performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

When we use the term “Adjusted EBITDA”, we are referring to net income minus interest income, investment income and other income plus interest expense, income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization and other investment loss. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important measure of our performance, and the Company ties its executive and employee bonus pools directly to this measure. We also believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

  • GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $4.9 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.21 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and net income of $754,000, or $0.00 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

  • Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $4.1 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to net loss of $4.9 million, or $0.18 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and net income of $1.2 million, or $0.00 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

  • As of January 31, 2013, Envivio had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $54.9 million.

A reconciliation of the difference between these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures, is included in the financial information portion of this press release.

“While we continue to see delays in spending for multi-screen video processing solutions, partly due to a weak macroeconomic environment, we made progress this quarter in positioning ourselves to address these challenges,” said Julien Signès, President and CEO, Envivio. “We restructured our sales force which included the appointment of our new senior vice president of global sales and service and we focused on execution in the broader, Pay TV video processing market, while prudently investing in our multi-screen technology for long-term growth.”

Business Highlights

  • Ira Goldfarb was appointed Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Service.
  • Envivio announced its HEVC Early Access Program for customers seeking to implement HEVC (H.265) encoding and its collaboration with Broadcom to provide encoder and decoder interoperability. This collaboration enables faster time to market for service providers seeking to roll out HEVC services for OTT or Pay TV services in the coming months.
  • Totalplay Telecomunicaciones SA, a cable and IPTV service provider in Mexico, deployed Envivio Muse encoders for its live and on-demand video services.
  • Wasu Media Group, a cable and new media service provider in Huangzhou province, China, has selected Envivio Muse™ transcoders on the 4Caster™ appliance for its cable and multi-screen services.
  • Envivio and Vinson deployed an integrated mobile TV solution for three broadcasters in Belgium. The combined solution — incorporating Envivio software-based encoding and the Vinson app for navigation and social media integration — offers viewers premium quality video and a new television experience on mobile devices.
  • Envivio underscored its leadership in the development of next-generation software-based solutions at CABSAT 2013 in Dubai, TV Connect in London and CCBN in Beijing through technology demonstrations of HEVC compression and showcasing its range of video convergence technologies including Envivio Muse and Envivio Halo™.
  • At NAB 2013, a key industry event taking place April 8-11 in Las Vegas, Envivio will feature a variety of next-generation technology demonstrations, including HEVC and Ultra HD (4K) television, as well as introduce new products for advanced software-based video processing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements

Venaxis (APPY) Pivotal U.S. Study – EU Market Development for Blood-based Appendicitis Test

CASTLE ROCK, Colo., March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Venaxis, Inc. (Nasdaq: APPY), an in vitro diagnostic company focused on obtaining FDA clearance and commercializing its rapid, protein biomarker-based appendicitis test, APPY1, today provided an update on its clinical and commercial activities.  The Company continues to enroll patients into its ongoing pivotal U.S. clinical study of APPY1, as well as make strong progress on its European market development initiatives.

Steve Lundy, Chief Executive Officer of Venaxis, commented, “We identified a number of significant milestones for 2013 and during the recent months have begun achieving them, including initiation of our pivotal study for APPY1, which we anticipate, upon completion, will support filing for regulatory clearance with the FDA.  We also obtained CE Marking for APPY1, and we commenced an initial launch of the product for market development purposes in Europe.  As we expected, 2013 has been characterized so far by continued progress on these critical initiatives.  We are encouraged by our successful execution to date and we plan to remain focused and diligent so that we can reach the important milestones to come.”

Enrollment into the APPY1 pivotal U.S. clinical study is expected to continue across the 28 participating hospital sites throughout much of 2013.  Based on current projections, the Company anticipates completing the study and potentially filing with the FDA for regulatory clearance of APPY1 by year end 2013.

Following CE Marking of APPY1 in January, Venaxis successfully executed market development agreements with MOSS S.p.A., which is based near Milan, to cover Italy; Istanbul-based SAVAS Medikal Inc. to cover hospitals in Turkey; and Netherlands-based EMELCA Bioscience, covering hospitals in the Benelux countries.  Pursuant to these agreements, strategic market development activities have commenced those regions and Venaxis anticipates announcing additional agreements in the near term that cover the additional targeted EU territories.

The Company also strengthened its balance sheet with an underwritten public offering in late 2012, for which Venaxis received approximately $4.7 million in total gross proceeds, including full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option.  The Company ended the year with $12.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, which Venaxis believes is sufficient to complete the ongoing U.S. pivotal trial, as well as advance the market development activities in Europe.

Mr. Lundy concluded, “We have emerged successfully from 2012 as a pure-play in vitro diagnostics company with sufficient capital to advance our new and innovative diagnostic product that we believe fulfills an important need in the emergency care market.  As study enrollment continues to ramp in the U.S. and we continue to gain traction and gather market intelligence in Europe, we look forward to providing timely updates on our key achievements.”

About Venaxis, Inc.
Venaxis, Inc. is an in vitro diagnostic company focused on the clinical development and commercialization of its rapid, protein biomarker-based appendicitis test, APPY1.  This unique appendicitis test has projected high sensitivity and negative predictive value and is being developed to aid in the identification of patients at low risk for acute appendicitis, allowing for more conservative patient management.  APPY1 is CE Marked in Europe and is being developed in the U.S. initially for pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients with abdominal pain, as this population is at the highest risk for appendicitis and has the highest risk of long-term health effects associated with CT imaging.  While FDA clearance is being sought, an initial launch for APPY1 is ongoing in select European territories.  For more information, visit www.venaxis.com.

ZaZa Energy Corporation (“ZaZa” or the “Company”)(NASDAQ: ZAZA) today announced that it has signed a Joint Exploration and Development Agreement (the “Agreement”) with one of the largest independent crude oil and natural gas companies in the United States to further develop ZaZa’s Eaglebine assets.

Under the terms of the Agreement, ZaZa’s joint venture partner will receive up to a 75% working interest in up to 55K net acres and operate the JV acreage comprising 73K of ZaZa’s 92K net mineral acres. ZaZa will retain a 25% working interest in the 73K acres. These assets include certain lands located in Walker, Grimes, and Madison, Trinity and Montgomery Counties, Texas, which are wholly owned by ZaZa, and also incorporate certain properties that are covered within the Participation Agreement with Range Texas Production, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Range Resources Corporation.

Early-stage drilling preparations are already underway for the first two (2) JV wells and the Company expects that the joint venture partner will have drilled the first three (3) earning wells by January 2014.

Our new joint venture will benefit from economies of scale and focus on optimizing field development and accelerating production at a reduced cost.”

MELVILLE, N.Y., March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Bovie Medical Corporation (NYSE AMEX: BVX) (the “Company”) a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, is pleased to report that it continues to receive increasing numbers of highly favorable responses and praise for its J-Plasma™ technology from leading surgeons and medical professionals.

J-Plasma™ utilizes a gas ionization process producing a stable thin beam of ionized gas emitted from the J-Plasma™ handpiece that can be controlled in a wide range of temperatures and intensities, providing the surgeon great precision, minimal invasiveness and an absence of conductive currents during surgery. Currently, there are five patents issued on J-Plasma™ and another six pending.

To date, over 100 surgeries have been performed on procedures such as Myomectomy, Ovarian Cyst, Endometriosis, Bowel Resection, Adhesiolysis, Robotic Assisted Hysterectomy, Hernia, LAVH, Ectopic, Abdominoplasty, Anterior/Posterior Repair and Breast Augmentation by Gynecologist, General Surgeons, and Plastic Surgeons on patients during surgeries in hospital settings, as well as, Urologists in laboratory settings, with excellent results.

J-Plasma™ continues to receive great support from influential surgeons across the country, further bolstering the positive results already achieved. While the Company is energetically pursuing the field of gynecological surgery, it anticipates entries into specialties such as oncology, dermatology, ENT and others, prompted by positive surgeon reactions in those specialties.

As indicated, leading surgeons have been generous in their praise of J-Plasma™ and the Company is pleased to list some noteworthy comments by surgeons:

  • A well known surgeon in the Western U.S. suggested that, “J-Plasma™ will be a household name by next year.”
  • A Tennessee gynecology surgeon commented, “You saved me 45 minutes and I honestly don’t think there is a product on the market that would do what I just did.”
  • A gynecology surgeon in Nevada stated, “J-Plasma™ saved me at least an hour on this myomectomy.  It was much faster than what we usually use.”
  • A gynecology surgeon in Tampa: “You guys finally came up with something that all of us (surgeons) have been looking for… it solves a lot of problems in a safe affordable manner.”
  • A general surgeon in Nashville commented that, “I usually have a lot of fear when I activate an instrument near the bowel, but after using J-Plasma™ for twenty minutes, that fear is gone.”
  • A gynecology surgeon in Pennsylvania offered, “This thing is great. It went through muscle, the uterus and ligaments without effort and with no charring.”

There are 20 hospitals permitting J-Plasma™ usage on patients with 11 of those hospitals already giving approval for the purchase of J-Plasma™. The remaining 9 hospitals are in the evaluation process and purchasing approvals are expected to be granted in the coming months. In addition, there are another 30 in the committee process and we continue to add to this number weekly.

In order to affect a sale, hospitals require a two-committee approach of first giving consent to use the product on patients, followed by approval from a purchasing committee.  Although the process can be lengthy, the Company fully expects additional approvals to be forthcoming.  The Company estimates that the potential for increasing sales is evidenced by the number of surgeons who perform multiple procedures monthly.

Currently, 54 Bovie Medical sales reps blanket a substantial part of the U.S. and report strong interest in the J-Plasma™.  The Company continues to add and train representatives on a weekly basis and it is anticipated that the Company will eventually have 120 representatives throughout the U.S.

Company management believes that although sales to date are in their early stages, due to the lengthy committee approval and evaluation process, J-Plasma’s™ benefits, coupled with hospital purchasing committee approvals and continued surgeon exposure, should result in a medical success for Bovie Medical with a goal of potential sales in the tens of millions.

Additionally, leading surgeons in the West and Southeast are currently conducting teaching labs and courses for varied uses of J-Plasma™ for both surgeons and sales representatives. Bovie will also be attending multiple conferences that specifically target minimally invasive surgeons, including conferences ACOG, SLS, and AAGL commencing in May and continuing for the rest of the year.

Jeff Rencher, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, stated, “We are pleased and enthused with the overwhelming positive feedback we have received from well recognized and established surgeons who are now committed J-Plasma users.” He also stated, “We are very confident that our state-of-the-art technology has the capability to become a commonplace fixture in hospitals and outpatient surgery centers.”

Stereotaxis (STXS) Receives Regulatory Approval of Niobe(R) Technology in Japan

ST. LOUIS, March 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stereotaxis, Inc. (Nasdaq:STXS) announced today that it has received regulatory approval of its Niobe® remote magnetic technology for cardiac ablations in Japan, a critical milestone in securing full market entry into the country. This approval allows the Company to begin marketing efforts, including establishing a local business infrastructure with in-country distributors, while working on obtaining reimbursement approval for full market entry, or the ability to initiate sales. Reimbursement approval is expected by the end of 2013.

Approval by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, Japan’s equivalent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, follows a successful three-year clinical trial of the Niobe system at the Tokyo Women’s Medical University. The clinical trial was led by Dr. Morio Shoda and supported by the Company’s industry collaborators in Japan.

William Mills, Chairman of the Stereotaxis Board of Directors, says the Japanese market, the second largest for medical devices behind the U.S., represents a significant growth opportunity for the Company. “An aging population, prominent cardiovascular institutions that embrace new technologies and favorable, universal health coverage create a very attractive environment for us to leverage our one-of-a-kind robotic navigation system,” says Mr. Mills. “Our entry into Japan provides opportunity for meaningful growth in the Asia Pacific region and marks a major step towards our vision of becoming the first choice in the treatment of complex electrophysiology ablations for the global marketplace.”

There are currently 570 hospitals in Japan performing approximately 38,000 electrophysiology (EP) procedures annually, 45% of which are atrial fibrillation (AF) cases. With the highest life expectancy among developed nations – 82.9 years – Japan has a rapidly growing senior population, currently at 23% and expected to reach 40% in the next 50 years. As AF and other arrhythmias are typically present in older individuals, the rate of EP ablations is anticipated to rise with the aging population. By 2018, industry analysts expect the country to experience 12% annual growth in EP procedures and a 22% annual increase in AF cases.

Mr. Mills adds that the Niobe’s demonstrated strength in significantly reducing radiation exposure to physicians and patients will be particularly appealing to a Japanese society highly sensitive to radiation risk. The Company looks forward to showcasing its Niobe technology for prospective Japanese clients at the annual Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) scientific session in May and the Japanese HRS meeting in July.

Lpath (LPTN) Granted Key European and U.S. Patents Related to Anti-Cancer Drug Program

SAN DIEGO, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/22/13 — Lpath, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTN), the industry leader in bioactive lipid-targeted therapeutics, received official notification from the European Patent Office (EPO) and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that the company has been issued three key patents.

The patents cover methods of detecting sphingolipid levels, as well as covering monoclonal antibodies, including ASONEP™ and iSONEP™, that bind to and neutralize sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P is a bioactive lipid that has been validated as a target in multiple disease states.

The newly issued U.S. patent, No. 8,361,465, claims ASONEP and fragments of ASONEP for the treatment of cancer in combination with chemotherapeutic agents and optionally surgery or radiation therapy.

European patent No. EP 1 812 797 claims anti-S1P antibodies for use in treating a wide range of hyperproliferative disorders, including cancer, tumor angiogenesis, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cardiac failure, inflammation, and scarring. Claims are also granted in Europe for anti-S1P antibodies in combination with other treatments.

A third patent, EP 2 027 142, was also granted in Europe. It has claims to reagents and methods useful in diagnostic tests for detecting and measuring certain sphingolipid levels in clinical tissue or bodily fluid samples. Many scientific publications have suggested that S1P is a tumorigenic and angiogenic bioactive lipid that cancer cells use to escape therapy. In collaboration with Dr. Rupal Bhatt of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Lpath has demonstrated that levels of S1P are upregulated in blood of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Moreover, Dr. Bhatt has demonstrated efficacy of Lpath’s anti-S1P antibodies in treating mice with human RCC tumors.

“In addition to previously issued Lpath patents, these key patents provide additional exclusivity for ASONEP in the U.S. for cancer, as well as exclusivity for all anti-S1P antibodies in Europe for wet AMD,” said Roger Sabbadini, Lpath’s vice president, founder, and an inventor of the granted patents. “Lpath will continue to pursue other disease indications and corresponding intellectual property in the future.”

ASONEP™ and iSONEP™ are different formulations of sonepcizumab, a first-in-class therapeutic antibody against S1P developed using Lpath’s ImmuneY2™ drug-discovery engine. Antibodies developed via this discovery engine are designed to target bioactive signaling lipids, such as S1P, that are involved in cancer, AMD, inflammatory and auto-immune disorders, and many other diseases.

Lpath has initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial for iSONEP, called Nexus, which is evaluating the anti-S1P antibody’s safety and efficacy in wet-AMD patients. Lpath entered into an agreement with Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) in 2010 that provides Pfizer an exclusive option for a worldwide license to develop and commercialize iSONEP.

In addition, Lpath is independently conducting an ASONEP Phase 2 trial in RCC patients, which is currently open for enrollment.

About Lpath’s Patent Portfolio
Over the course of the company’s development, Lpath has achieved a broad and deep intellectual property position in the bioactive-lipid area. The company’s comprehensive patent portfolio now includes 35 issued patents (including ten international) and 112 patent applications (including 85 international). These patents primarily relate to the use of reagents and methods designed to interfere with the actions of bioactive lipids involved in human disease. Lpath’s intellectual property portfolio includes coverage of compositions of matter that specifically bind to sphingolipids and sphingolipid metabolites. These compositions, including antibodies, could be used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and disorders, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, cancer, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, ocular disease, and angiogenesis.

Lpath has also obtained issued patent claims on sphingolipid targets (e.g., receptors and signaling sphingolipids) and methods for using such targets in drug-discovery screening efforts.

The company believes that its patent portfolio provides broad and commercially significant coverage of antibodies, receptors, enzymes, and other moieties that bind to a lysolipid (or a sphingolipid metabolite) for diagnostic, therapeutic, and screening purposes.

About Lpath
San Diego-based Lpath, Inc., a therapeutic antibody company, is the category leader in lipid-targeted therapeutics. The company’s ImmuneY2™ drug-discovery engine has the unique ability to generate monoclonal antibodies that bind to and inhibit bioactive lipids that contribute to disease. The company is developing three drug candidates: iSONEP™ is being studied in a Phase 2 trial in wet AMD patients; ASONEP™ is being studied in a Phase 2 trial in renal cell carcinoma patients; and Lpathomab is a preclinical drug candidate that holds promise in pain, neurotrauma, and other diseases. For more information, visit www.Lpath.com.

About Forward-Looking Statements
The Company cautions you that the statements included in this press release that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These include statements regarding: the protection against competition afforded by issued patents; the eventual commercial viability of the Company’s drug programs; and the Company’s ability to complete additional discovery and development activities for drug candidates utilizing its proprietary ImmuneY2 drug discovery process. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in this press release due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business, including, without limitation: the outcome of the final analyses of the data from the Phase 1 clinical trial may vary from the Company’s initial conclusions; the results of any future clinical trials for iSONEP or ASONEP may not be favorable and the Company may never receive regulatory approval for iSONEP or ASONEP or any of its drug candidates; and the Company’s may not be able to secure the funds necessary to support its clinical trial and product development plans. More detailed information about the Company and the risk factors that may affect the realization of forward-looking statements is set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.

For the three month period ended December 31, 2012, total revenue was $4,329,000, an increase of 17 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. The company recorded net income attributable to Intelligent Systems of $314,000 ($0.04 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to a net loss attributable to Intelligent Systems of $103,000 ($0.01 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2011.

For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012, total revenue grew by 1 percent to $16,530,000 as compared to total revenue of $16,324,000 in the prior year. Net income attributable to Intelligent Systems for the fiscal year 2012 was $534,000 ($0.06 per share), compared to net income attributable to Intelligent Systems of $1,055,000 ($0.11 per share) in fiscal 2011.

The fiscal year 2012 results are not directly comparable to 2011 because 2011 results include non-recurring income of $450,000 related to settlement of a law suit in favor of our ChemFree subsidiary in May 2011. In addition, as previously reported, comparative results for the 2011 periods have been restated to correct a misinterpretation of an accounting standard related to allocation of income/losses of noncontrolling common stock interests in a subsidiary.

J. Leland Strange, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our ChemFree subsidiary continued to post solid financial performance, growing revenue by 7 percent and operating profit by over 25 percent in fiscal year 2012 as compared to 2011. Domestic sales of ChemFree’s SmartWasher® parts washer improved as the economic recovery took hold and world-wide sales of consumable products for the SmartWasher® posted gains as well.

“In both the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, our CoreCard Software subsidiary grew its revenue derived from maintenance, support and other services to the installed base of businesses that have licensed the CoreCard® software solutions to manage credit, fleet, prepaid, loan and accounts receivable programs. We also made measurable and slow but steady progress in developing our prepaid card processing services initiative, in which we continue to invest significant resources.”

The company will hold an investor conference call today, March 22, 2013 at 11 AM Eastern Daylight Time. Interested investors are invited to attend the conference call by dialing (877) 331-9835 and entering conference ID code 24275457.  A recording of the call will be posted on the company’s website at www.intelsys.com as soon as available. The company intends to file its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012 with the Securities Exchange Commission today, March 22, 2013. For additional information about reported results, investors will be able to access the Form 10-K on the company’s website at www.intelsys.com or on the SEC site, www.sec.gov.

Response (RGDX) Announces Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2012 Financial Results

— Q4 Revenue Increases 11% to $5.5 Million Relative to Q4 2011 and Gross Margin Increases to 54% —

— Fourth Quarter Losses Decrease to $0.5 Million Relative to Q4 2011 Loss of $3.9 Million —

LOS ANGELES, March 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Response Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:RGDX), a company focused on the development and sale of molecular diagnostic tests that help determine a patient’s response to cancer therapy, today announced its consolidated financial results and business progress for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $5.5 million compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and $5.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The Company’s pharmaceutical client revenue increased by 36% and the Company’s ResponseDX® revenue decreased 1% relative to the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and the Company’s pharmaceutical client and ResponseDX® revenues increased 3% and 2%, respectively, relative to the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

The Company’s net loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 decreased to $0.5 million, or $(0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million, or $(0.20) per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and a net loss of $1.4 million, or $(0.05) per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. This is the fourth consecutive quarter the Company decreased its net loss.

The Company also increased its gross margin to 54% for the quarter ending December 31, 2012 compared to 25% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 49% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Gross margin is calculated as net revenue less cost of revenue.

Excluding cost of revenue, total operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $3.5 million, compared to $5.2 million for the same period last year and $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012, were $9.0 million, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2011.

“We are once again very pleased with the financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, which improved for the fourth consecutive time relative to the prior quarter. Since the fourth quarter of last year, we continued to realize consecutive quarter-over-quarter positive results from the many changes implemented by the Company. Gross margins have increased more than two-fold from the fourth quarter of last year, and operating loss has continued to decrease significantly, or nearly three-fold, since the third quarter of 2012 and by nearly eight-fold from the fourth quarter of last year,” said Thomas Bologna, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Bologna added, “Of equal importance, the Company currently has a strong balance sheet which will provide the means for implementing the structure needed to build top-line growth. We are well on our way to developing a dynamic ResponseDX® sales force which we expect will deliver top-line testing growth in the second half of 2013. We believe strong top-line growth coupled with the Company’s new management team, cost structure and focus on operational efficiencies, which were the hallmarks of our 2012 efforts, will help to further drive our strategic and financial performance.”

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased to $18.7 million, compared to $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The reduction was due primarily to the expected decrease in pharmaceutical client revenue during the first half of 2012 which resulted in a year over year decrease to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s ResponseDX® revenue decreased slightly to $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $12.5 million for the prior year.

The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $7.8 million or a loss of $0.29 per share, compared with a net loss of $5.8 million, or a loss of $0.30 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Additional Year-End 2012 Financial Results

Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately 44% compared to approximately 48% for the previous year and was largely the result of decreased pharmaceutical revenue in the first two quarters of 2012.  Excluding cost of revenue, total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $16.0 million, compared with $16.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in total operating expenses of $0.6 million was due to a general focus on re-structuring the Company’s resources and cost reduction primarily impacting the second half of the year.

Highpower (HPJ) Reports Q4 and FY12 Financial Results

NEW YORK, NY and SHENZHEN, CHINA — (Marketwire) — 03/21/13 — Highpower International, Inc. (NASDAQ: HPJ), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) and lithium rechargeable batteries and battery solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year-ended December 31, 2012.

Fiscal Year 2012 Highlights

  • Net sales of $112.6 million for fiscal year 2012, an increase of 2% over fiscal year 2011 sales of $110.6 million
  • Continued strong performance in Lithium battery segment — lithium battery net sales up 67% in fiscal year 2012 over fiscal year 2011; total lithium battery pieces sold increased 48%; and a 74% increase in volume per ampere hour
  • Gross margins of 21% in fiscal year 2012, compared to 16% in fiscal year 2011, a 500 basis point improvement
  • Achieved full-year profitability; EPS attributable to Highpower International of $0.13 for fiscal year 2012, compared with a loss of ($0.18) in fiscal year 2011

Management Commentary

“We are pleased with our return to full year profitability in 2012 while we continued to make important investments to advance our position in the rechargeable battery industry,” said Mr. George Pan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Highpower International. “During the past year, we continued to shift into higher margin lithium batteries, which has proven to be a very successful strategy with another year of 67% sales growth in this segment. We believe lithium and higher capacity batteries will continue to be a sustainable long-term growth driver for Highpower as we capitalize on robust end-market demand for mobile phones, tablets, energy storage and small-sized transportation vehicles.

“We believe 2013 will be a pivotal year for Highpower and have never felt more excited about our business. There are a number of important catalysts coming to fruition in the latter half of the year, which include the build out of our new battery and e-waste recycling business as well as the ramp up of our new manufacturing facility in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, which is expected to become fully operational at the end of the 2013. This will position us to better meet future demand in the years ahead,” concluded Mr. Pan.

Mr. Henry Sun, Chief Financial Officer of Highpower International, added, “We are delighted that Highpower returned to profitability in 2012 despite some softness in world economies and our ongoing investments in our business. In 2013, we expect continued strong growth in our lithium battery business and stable performance in our Ni-MH segment. While we will continue to make capital investments in 2013 for manufacturing equipment at our new facility in Huizhou and our recycling facility in Ganzhou, we believe that we will be able to remain profitable for the year, while at the same time positioning us for increased profitability and growth in 2014 and beyond.”

Net sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 totaled $30.8 million, a year-over-year increase of 19% compared with $25.9 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase in sales for the fourth quarter of 2012 was primarily due to a 74% year-over-year sales increase in our lithium battery segment, which was offset with a slight decline in Ni-MH battery sales.

Fourth quarter 2012 gross profit increased to $6.4 million, as compared with $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Gross profit margin was 21% for the fourth quarter 2012, as compared with 20% for the fourth quarter of 2011. The year-over-year increase in gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 was primarily due to higher sales volumes, lower commodity costs, and a greater percentage of higher-end battery products.

R&D spending was $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, as compared with $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2011, due to the increase in our workforce to expand our research and development and management functions.

General and administrative expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation, were $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, as compared to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.8 million, as compared with loss from operations of $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Net income attributable to Highpower International for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, based on 13.6 million weighted average shares outstanding. This compares with fourth quarter 2011 net loss of ($1.9) million, or ($0.14) per diluted share, based on 13.6 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Full Year 2012 Financial Results

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $112.6 million, a year-over-year increase of 2% compared with $110.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a $15.2 million increase in net sales of lithium batteries and a $1.3 million increase in net sales of Ni-MH batteries, which was partly offset by a $14.5 million decrease in revenues from the Materials business as we shift away from materials trading to preparing for a materials processing and recycling platform.

Gross profit for 2012 increased to $23.7 million, as compared with $17.7 million for 2011. Gross profit margin was 21% for 2012, as compared with 16% for 2011. The higher gross profit margins in 2012 were primarily due to lower raw material costs and less revenue from the lower margin Materials business.

R&D spending was $4.6 million for 2012, as compared with $3.2 million for 2011, due to the increase in our workforce to expand our research and development and management functions. Selling and distribution costs were $5.3 million for 2012, as compared with $4.5 million for 2011, reflecting increased investment in sales and marketing, including participation in industry trade shows and expanded international sales efforts.

General and administrative expenses, including stock-based compensation, were $11.5 million for 2012, as compared to $9.7 million for 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in the provision for bad debt expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Income from operations for 2012 was $2.8 million, as compared with loss from operations of $2.2 million for 2011.

Net income attributable to Highpower International for the year-ended December 31, 2012 was $1.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, based on 13.6 million weighted average shares outstanding. This compares with 2011 net loss attributable to Highpower International of $2.5 million, or ($0.18) per diluted share, based on 13.6 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Balance Sheet

At December 31, 2012, Highpower International had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $34.3 million, total assets of $120.4 million, and stockholders’ equity of $31.2 million. Total debt was $54.6 million at December 31, 2012. Bank credit facilities totaled $69.2 million, of which $34.7 million was available at the end of the year.

Outlook

Based on our current expectations for global demand for the rechargeable battery market in 2013 and our continued shift toward mobile power sources, higher-value energy storage systems and transportation products, we expect revenues to grow between 15% to 20% over 2012 revenue levels. We expect to remain profitable for the full year in 2013.

Dejour (DEJ) Contracts Patterson Drilling & Halliburton for Kokopelli Development

Dejour Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: DEJ / TSX: DEJ), an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating in North America’s Piceance Basin and Peace River Arch regions, today provides an update on field operations at its 72% owned and operated Kokopelli project in Western Colorado.

The Company remains on schedule for the start-up of a new three well drilling program at Kokopelli before the end of March. Mobilization of Patterson-UTI (NASDAQ: PTEN) Rig #313 to Dejour’s Drill Pad 21-A has begun. At the conclusion of the three well program, the Company has contracted with Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) to commence completion of all four wells (including Federal Well 6-7-16-21 which was drilled in November).

Dejour is currently finalizing a gas transportation and processing agreement with a major midstream operator in the Piceance. Under the terms of the agreement, Dejour will maintain ownership of all NGL’s recovered at the third party processing plant and sell both the NGL’s and the residual gas at the tailgate of the plant.

“We are beginning the process of converting the Kokopelli asset from a proven undeveloped and probable reserve to a proven developed producing reserve that we expect to grow with time to over a net 120 BCF natural gas with 15 MM barrels of condensate/liquids in the Williams Fork,” says Harrison Blacker, Dejour COO.

Of significant interest to the Company are recent activities targeting the deeper Niobrara-Mancos zones in proximity to Dejour leaseholds within the Piceance Basin.

A recent announcement by WPX Energy (NYSE: WPX) of a successfully completed Lower Mancos (Niobrara) Hz producer, in Garfield County, states that a new producer has averaged 12 MMCF/d of restricted flow production during the first 30 days. WPX further announced its intention to drill 2 additional Hz wells in 2013 adding that the encouraging production results of these new wells indicate that the Piceance Basin recoveries, including the Niobrara-Mancos, offer the potential to at least double the Company’s net reserves in the Piceance.

“We are also very excited about the activities of a Texas based E&P company currently testing a 4,600’ horizontal leg of an 11,700’ deep Mancos well less than 5 miles to the west of our Kokopelli location,” Blacker continues.

Dejour has over 7,500 net acres of land prospective for Niobrara-Mancos contingent resources in this Basin. The WPX well is situated between Dejour’s Kokopelli and Roan Creek leaseholds.

About Dejour

Dejour Energy Inc. is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating projects in North America’s Piceance Basin and environs (approximately 129,000 net acres) and Peace River Arch regions (approximately 8,500 net acres). Dejour’s seasoned management team has consistently been among early identifiers of premium energy assets, repeatedly timing investments and transactions to realize their value to shareholders’ best advantage. Dejour maintains offices in Denver, USA, Calgary and Vancouver, Canada. The company is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange MKT (NYSE MKT: DEJ) and Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: DEJ).

Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information: This news release contains statements about oil and gas production and operating activities that may constitute “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation as they involve the implied assessment that the resources described can be profitably produced in the future, based on certain estimates and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by Dejour and described in the forward- looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, adverse general economic conditions, operating hazards, drilling risks, inherent uncertainties in interpreting engineering and geologic data, competition, reduced availability of drilling and other well services,

fluctuations in oil and gas prices and prices for drilling and other well services, government regulation and foreign political risks, fluctuations in the exchange rate between Canadian and US dollars and other currencies, as well as other risks commonly associated with the exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Additional information on these and other factors, which could affect Dejour’s operations or financial results, are included in Dejour’s reports on file with Canadian and United States securities regulatory authorities. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions change unless otherwise required under securities law.

BOE Presentation: Barrel of oil equivalent amounts have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. The term “BOE” may be misleading if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of one barrel of oil to six mcf of gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head. Total BOEs are calculated by multiplying the daily production by the number of days in the period.

Cardero (CDY) Secures Access to Coal Transportation Barge

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwire) — 03/21/13 — Cardero Resource Corp. (“Cardero” or the “Company”) (TSX:CDU)(NYSE MKT:CDY)(FRANKFURT:CR5) announces that Cardero Coal Ltd. (“Cardero Coal”) has signed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Canadian Forest Products Ltd. (“Canfor”) outlining the terms under which Cardero Coal will charter the MV Williston Transporter for transportation of metallurgical coal from Carbon Creek to the railhead at Mackenzie, BC. This charter party arrangement will terminate at the end of 2015, at which time it is anticipated that Cardero Coal’s purpose-built tug and barge will be commissioned to transport coal through the remainder of the currently proposed mine life.

Under the terms of the LOI, the Companies will enter into two definitive agreements, being a Charter Party relating to the MV Williston Transporter and a Timber Harvesting Agreement relating to mine site logging prior to mine construction. Cardero Coal will pay for the charter of the MV Williston Transporter, but anticipates receiving revenue from the logging of the mine site under the Timber Harvesting Agreement.

MV Williston Transporter

Cardero Coal intends to transport coal from the proposed Carbon Creek mine site to the railhead at Mackenzie via the Williston Reservoir, using a tug and barge system. It is anticipated that Cardero Coal’s purpose-built tug and barge solution will be constructed on site at Mackenzie. A Request for Qualification has been circulated to engineering firms with marine experience and responses are currently under review. It is anticipated that the final design and tender process will begin in Q2 and will be completed in early Q3 2013.

Cardero Coal intends to use the MV Williston Transporter as an interim solution during construction, initial production and ramp-up at Carbon Creek. The MV Williston Transporter is a 360 foot, 7,400 horsepower, self-propelled ice-breaking barge with a deadweight capacity of 4,000 tonnes. The vessel was constructed for Canfor Mackenzie in 1994 by Findlay Navigation, who began operations in 1968 as a marine towing business, operating tugs and barges on Williston Reservoir.

The vessel was built on the shores of the Williston Reservoir and has been in service since 1995, providing year-round transportation services for forestry and mining industries located on the shores of the reservoir. The vessel will be chartered by Cardero Coal, on a bareboat basis, in July 2014 for 18 months and will initially assist with transportation of mine construction plant and materials from Mackenzie railhead to the mine site. Once initial coal has been produced, it is planned that the vessel will switch to metallurgical coal transportation from the mine site to Mackenzie. Since the vessel can be loaded directly from shore, it will not be necessary to complete construction of material handling systems prior to shipping the first product.

The foregoing arrangements are subject to, amongst other things, the settlement and execution of the definitive Charter Party and Timber Harvesting Agreement and receipt of all required approvals and consents.

ABOUT CARBON CREEK

The Carbon Creek Metallurgical Coal Deposit is the Company’s flagship asset. Carbon Creek is an advanced metallurgical coal development project located in the Peace River Coal District of northeast British Columbia, Canada. The project has a current reserve of 121 million tonnes, included within a 468 million tonne measured and indicated resource, of ASTM Coal Rank mvB coal. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and there is no assurance that any of the additional mineral resources that are not already classified as reserves will ultimately be reclassified as proven or probable reserves. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Having completed acquisition of the project in June 2011, the Company released results of an independent preliminary economic assessment in December 2011, followed by a Prefeasibility Study (“PFS”) in September 2012. The PFS estimates an undiscounted cash flow of $2.2 billion, an NPV8 of $633 million, and an IRR of 24% (all on a post-tax, 75% basis). The Company is currently undertaking a bankable feasibility study on the project.

For details with respect to the work done to date and the assumptions underlying the current resource and reserve estimates and PFS, see the technical report entitled “Technical Report, Prefeasibility Study of the Carbon Creek Coal Property, British Columbia, Canada” dated November 6, 2012 with an effective date of September 20, 2012 and available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

EurGeol Keith Henderson, PGeo, Cardero’s Executive Vice President and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the scientific and technical information that forms the basis of this news release, and has approved the disclosure herein. Mr. Henderson is not independent of the Company, as he is an officer and shareholder.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian and US securities legislation. All statements regarding the discovery and delineation of mineral deposits/resources/reserves, the potential settlement and execution of formal documentation with respect to the charter of the MV Williston Transporter and the harvesting of timber at the planned Carbon Creek minesite, the potential to use the MV Williston Transporter to carry construction materials to the minesite and to carry first production coal to railhead, the potential for revenue from timber harvesting at the Company’s planned minesite, the potential for the making of a production decision to proceed with a mine at Carbon Creek, the potential commencement of any development of a mine at the Carbon Creek deposit following a production decision, the potential for any production from the Carbon Creek deposit, business and financing plans and business trends, are forward-looking statements. Information concerning mineral resource/reserve estimates and the economic analysis thereof contained in the prefeasibility study may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements in that it reflects a prediction of the mineralization that would be encountered, and the results of mining it, if a mineral deposit were developed and mined. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as: believe, expect, anticipate, intend, estimate, postulate and similar expressions, or are those, which, by their nature, refer to future events. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, variations in the market for, and pricing of, any mineral products the Company may produce or plan to produce, significant increases in any of the machinery, equipment or supplies required to develop and operate a mine at Carbon Creek, a significant change in the availability or cost of the labor force required to operate a mine at Carbon Creek, significant increases in the cost of transportation for the Company’s products, the Company’s inability to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its activities, the Company’s inability to produce minerals from its properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies (including the use of the MV Williston Transporter), and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Information Form filed with certain securities commissions in Canada and the Company’s 2013 annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and other information released by the Company and filed with the appropriate regulatory agencies. All of the Company’s Canadian public disclosure filings may be accessed via www.sedar.com and its United States public disclosure filings may be accessed via www.sec.gov, and readers are urged to review these materials, including the technical reports filed with respect to the Company’s mineral properties.

Cautionary Note Regarding References to Resources and Reserves

National Instrument 43 101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained in or incorporated by reference in this press release have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council on November 14, 2004 (the “CIM Standards”) as they may be amended from time to time by the CIM, and in the Geological Survey of Canada Paper 88-21 entitled “A Standardized Coal Resource/Reserve Reporting System for Canada” originally published in 1988 (the “GSC Paper”).

United States shareholders are cautioned that the requirements and terminology of NI 43-101, the CIM Standards and the GSC Paper differ significantly from the requirements and terminology of the SEC set forth in the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”). Accordingly, the Company’s disclosures regarding mineralization may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Without limiting the foregoing, while the terms “mineral resources”, “inferred mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “measured mineral resources” are recognized and required by NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards, they are not recognized by the SEC and are not permitted to be used in documents filed with the SEC by companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability, and US investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral resource will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher resource category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of a feasibility study or prefeasibility study, except in rare cases. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant “reserves” as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit amounts. In addition, the NI 43-101 and CIM Standards definition of a “reserve” differs from the definition in SEC Industry Guide 7. In SEC Industry Guide 7, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made, and a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis of designated reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

This press release is not, and is not to be construed in any way as, an offer to buy or sell securities in the United States.

Anacor (ANAC) Positive Results Phase 2 AN2728 Atopic Dermatitis

Anacor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ANAC) today announced positive results from a Phase 2 dose-ranging trial (AN2728-AD-204) of its topical boron-based phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor, AN2728. The study included 86 adolescents (ages 12 – 17) with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis, a chronic rash which predominantly affects children and is characterized by inflammation and itching. In this study, lesions treated with AN2728 ointment, 2.0% twice daily for 28 days achieved a 71% improvement from baseline in their Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index (ADSI) score, with 66% of lesions in this treatment group achieving total or partial clearance. AN2728 was generally safe and well-tolerated. Most adverse events were mild and largely unrelated to study drug.

“These results demonstrate a clear dose response across the four dosing regimens and identify the AN2728 ointment, 2.0% BID dosing regimen as optimal for a Phase 3 program, which we expect to initiate around the end of 2013,” said David Perry, Chief Executive Officer of Anacor Pharmaceuticals. “In all arms of the study, lesions treated with AN2728 ointment improved throughout the 28 day treatment period. The majority of the improvement occurred within the first week of treatment, which is important to both patients and physicians. AN2728 also continues to demonstrate an excellent safety profile – a key factor in treating this disease that primarily affects children.”

“There is a tremendous clinical need for safe and effective treatments for pediatric atopic dermatitis. It is very exciting to see these promising positive data for a novel molecule with excellent anti-inflammatory properties and that appears very safe to use,” said Lawrence F. Eichenfield, M.D., Chief of Pediatric and Adolescent Dermatology and Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine (Dermatology) at Rady Children’s Hospital, University of California, San Diego. “AN2728 has the potential to be an outstanding addition to the treatment armamentarium for physicians and a great benefit to children with atopic dermatitis.”

The Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, bilateral study enrolled adolescent patients with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis. Patients were randomized 1:1 to either once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) application for 28 days. Patients were instructed to apply AN2728 ointment, 2.0% to one target lesion and AN2728 ointment, 0.5% to a comparable target lesion. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline ADSI score, which is the sum of the severity scores of five clinical features (erythema, pruritus, exudation, excoriation and lichenification) from 0 (none) to 3 (severe) for each feature, for a total score of 0 to 15. Additional endpoints included differences in ADSI component subscores and safety.

A clear dose response was demonstrated in this study, with AN2728 ointment, 2.0% BID yielding the greatest improvement. At Day 29, the following results were observed:

Dosing Regimen % Improvement from Baseline ADSI % of Lesions Achieving Total or Partial
Clearance
AN2728 2.0%, BID 71% 62%
AN2728 0.5%, BID 62% 50%
AN2728 2.0%, QD 63% 41%
AN2728 0.5%, QD 54% 43%
Dosing Regimen % Improvement in Component Score from Baseline
Erythema Excoriation Exudation Lichenification Pruritus
AN2728 2.0%, BID 67% 78% 80% 54% 79%
AN2728 0.5%, BID 59% 64% 56% 49% 75%
AN2728 2.0%, QD 55% 73% 76% 46% 73%
AN2728 0.5%, QD 52% 57% 52% 44% 63%

About Atopic Dermatitis and Current Treatment Options

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic rash characterized by inflammation and itching. In 2007, Datamonitor reported that atopic dermatitis affected approximately 40 million people across the seven major pharmaceutical markets. The condition most commonly appears in childhood, with up to 20% of children in the United States affected, and it can persist into adulthood. Skin affected by atopic dermatitis can often be broken from scratching which can allow bacterial or viral access and lead to secondary infections. Current atopic dermatitis treatments attempt to reduce inflammation and itching to maintain the protective integrity of the skin. Antibiotics, antihistamines, topical corticosteroids and topical immunomodulators, either as monotherapy or in combination, are the current standard of care for atopic dermatitis. However, these can be limited in utility due to insufficient efficacy, side effects or safety concerns. The most recently approved novel topical treatments for atopic dermatitis were topical immunomodulators, Protopic (tacrolimus) and Elidel (pimecrolimus), approved in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Protopic and Elidel achieved combined sales of over $500 million in 2004, prior to receiving Black Box warnings from the FDA in early 2005.

About Anacor Pharmaceuticals

Anacor is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel small-molecule therapeutics derived from its boron chemistry platform. Anacor has discovered eight compounds that are currently in development. Its two lead product candidates are topically administered dermatologic compounds — tavaborole, an antifungal for the treatment of onychomycosis, and AN2728, an anti-inflammatory PDE-4 inhibitor for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. In addition to its two lead programs, Anacor has discovered three other wholly-owned clinical product candidates — AN2718 and AN2898, which are backup compounds to tavaborole and AN2728, respectively, and AN3365 (formerly referred to as GSK2251052, or GSK ‘052), an antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, which previously was licensed to GlaxoSmithKline LLC, or GSK. GSK has returned all rights to the compound to us and we are considering our options for further development, if any, of this compound. We have also discovered three other compounds that we have out-licensed for further development — two are licensed to Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of animal health indications and the third compound, AN5568, also referred to as SCYX-7158, is licensed to Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative, or DNDi, for human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, or sleeping sickness). We also have a pipeline of other internally discovered topical and systemic boron-based compounds in development. For more information, visit http://www.anacor.com.

Cover-All (COVR) Announces 2012 Fourth Quarter and Year End Financial Results

Two New Customers Select Cover-All’s New Policy & Studio Solutions and Four Existing Customers Upgrade with multi-year contracts in last Six Months of 2012 Momentum Continues into 2013 with 1 New Customer and 1 Existing Customer Upgrade

Cover-All Technologies Inc. (NYSE MKT: COVR), a Delaware corporation (“Cover-All” or the “Company”), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

Financial Highlights:

  • For the full year 2012, revenue was $16.2 million, compared to $17.6 million for the full year 2011.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”*), a non-GAAP metric, was $(1,087,986) for 2012, or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for 2011.
  • The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with stockholders’ equity at $13.1 million as of December 31, 2012. The Company completed 2012 with $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Operational Highlights:

  • Cover-All expanded its new suite of fully built out ISO® products built with the most modern technologies which already includes ISO® Commercial Automobile, Commercial Package – Property, general liability, inland marine, crime and fidelity as well as Workers Compensation with the addition of the Business owners (BOP) product. We believe these products represent the only fully built out ISO® products using modern technology available in the marketplace today. The products support the rate, quote, issuance, subsequent transactions and statistical reporting of these lines of business.
  • Cover-All announced the creation of Dev Studio (scheduled for general release in Q2, 2013) which enables customers to create, modify or maintain their own insurance products on the Cover-All Policy Solution platform. This capability combined with the unmatched functionality of the Cover-All prebuilt ISO® and NCCI® products give customers and prospects the choices they need to meet their specific business needs.
  • Cover-All announced the availability of Cover-All Test Studio, an automated testing tool.
  • Cover-All announced the availability of Cover-All Policy Conversion Studio to facilitate the conversion of policies from legacy systems to Cover-All Policy on renewal.

Recent Customer Announcements:

  • Society Insurance, a multi-line commercial property and casualty (P&C) insurance company specializing in niche business, selected Cover-All Policy to modernize Society’s entire policy platform, including rating, quoting, underwriting, policy servicing, document generation/management and distribution.
  • Triple-S Propiedad, a Puerto Rico-based underwriter of property and casualty insurance policies, will implement the new version of Cover-All Policy to handle the company’s commercial auto and commercial package (including property, general liability, inland marine and crime) property and casualty (P&C) lines of business.

John Roblin, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “2012 was a challenging year. Entering the year we projected that 2012 would be our sixth record revenue year driven by in part by expected customer upgrades to our exciting new Policy solution and in part by our belief that the marketplace would embrace our innovative solution as well. Our projections were based on certain timing estimates that proved to be overly optimistic in a competitive environment. We welcomed the opportunity to show what our software, our technology and our people can do and we believe the eight affirmative decisions – 3 new customers and 5 upgrades – in the last half of 2012 and to date in 2013 justify that approach and validate the quality and versatility of our software, technology and people.

“Our reported financial results for 2012 are below our own expectations. However, I believe a closer look will tell a better story. Our 2012 revenues of $16.2 million were lower than our projection of $19 million. However, we had reached agreements with two customers very late in the year but we were not able to recognize the associated license revenue in 2012. The combined license revenue for these two agreements totals $3.1 million and should be recognized in Q1, 2013 which will give us a great start to 2013. In addition, our professional services backlog has grown to more than $4.5 million and we expect to earn this ratably in 2013 and 2014. Each of these eight new agreements is for a minimum of five years.

“Expenses increased 30% over 2011 due primarily to the increase in amortization (up 120%), increase in Sales and Marketing (44%), and the integration of the Bluewave Claims acquisition. Our profitability was impacted significantly by the size of our amortization of capitalized computer software of $3.5 million, or $0.14 per share, more than double the 2011 amount $(1.5 million), or $(0.06) per share. This non cash item will continue as we amortize the investment in software over three years. Largely as a result of amortization, we have suggested that EBITDA may be a useful measure to evaluate our results. For 2012, we are reporting an EBITDA loss of $(1.1 million), or $(0.04) per share.

“Lastly, we invested aggressively in expanding our offerings with investments in Policy, Dev Studio, Claims, Test Studio, BOP and much more. In addition, we invested heavily in Sales and Marketing. We believe that our recent customer “wins” are largely attributable to these investments as well as the significant investments in recent years. Our strategy is focused on providing outstanding and innovative products and services to the property and casualty and is focused building value for investors, customers and employees. We believe we made significant progress in 2012 and are well positioned for 2013.

“We are in the process of a strategic transformation from a niche player to a provider of comprehensive and industry acclaimed solutions for the entire breadth of the property and casualty insurance industry. In recent years, we augmented our solutions through development and accretive acquisitions, garnering praise from leading industry analysts and interest from increasingly large number of potential customers. This culminated in a flurry of wins at the end of the year, but due to the timing of the deployments, some of this activity will benefit the first quarter and fiscal 2013.”

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2012

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $16.2 million, compared to $17.6 million in 2011. License revenue was $3.9 million in 2012, compared to $4.8 million in 2011. Approximately $3.1 million in contracts were signed as of December 31, 2012, but due to deployment schedules, the Company will recognize the revenue from these agreements in the first quarter of 2013. Support Services revenue (which represents contracted continuing revenue) was $8.3 million in 2012, compared to $8.3 million in 2011. Professional Services revenue was $4.0 million in 2012, compared to $4.5 million in 2011.

Total expenses (cost of revenue and operating expenses) for 2012 were $21.3 million, compared to $16.4 million in 2011. EBITDA*, a non-GAAP metric, was $(1,087,986), or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, for 2012, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for 2011. Net loss for 2012 was $5.0 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share (based on 25,869,969 million basic and diluted weighted average shares), compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share (based on 25.3 million basic and 26.0 million diluted weighted average shares, respectively), for 2011. The Company recorded an income tax expense (benefit) of $257,928 in 2012, with no income tax expense (benefit) in 2011.

Mr. Roblin continued, “As we enter 2013, we are focused on delivering the value and services that our customers – both old and new – expect, continue to invest in, develop and roll out new and exciting capabilities to be viewed as a leader in the marketplace, expand sales and marketing and have a primary focus on growth while working to balance spending to revenues. Our decision to borrow money last year to preserve the investment momentum has been largely vindicated by our recent contracts and the industry excitement about our new products. However, we will also be focused on engineering our organization for improved efficiencies and effectiveness by leveraging our new capabilities.

“The expected $3.1 million in new license revenue in Q1, 2013 will give us a great start for the year. Our professional services backlog has reached approximately $4.5 million, and we expect to recognize this throughout 2013 and in 2014. In addition, we continue to pursue joint opportunities with both new and existing customers. As the word spreads about our customer “wins”, the marketplace is giving us more “at bats” and we are extremely competitive. Cover-All has demonstrated the ability to beat much larger competitors, due to our entirely new, fully integrated and highly flexible offering.”

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2012

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $4.0 million, compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2011. License revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million, compared to $923,000 for the same period in 2011. Support Services revenue (which represents contracted continuing revenue) was $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2011. Professional Services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.9 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same quarter in 2011.

Total expenses (cost of revenue and operating expenses) for the three months ended December 31, 2012 increased to $6.1 million, from $4.1 million in the same quarter last year. EBITDA*, a non-GAAP metric, was $(897,746), or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $543,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $1.9 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share (based on 25.9 million basic and 25.9 million diluted weighted average shares, respectively), compared to net income of $8,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share (based on 24.6 million basic and 25.1 million diluted weighted average shares, respectively), in the same quarter of 2011.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating its business, Cover-All considers and uses EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its operating performance. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company presents EBITDA because it believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.

The term EBITDA is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than Cover-All, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. Cover-All compensates for these limitations by relying on its U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.
