Leverkusen, Germany - Biofrontera AG (DSE: B8F) has today published its interim
report for the first quarter of 2012 on is corporate webpage. The report focuses
on the corporate developments in the first three months 2012. Detailed financial
figures are not being published at the end of this period.
The most important milestone for Biofrontera was the market introduction of
Ameluz(®), Biofrontera's new prescription drug for the treatment of actinic
keratosis. EU-wide marketing and distribution of Ameluz(®) was authorized by the
European Commission in December 2011. In February 2012 Biofrontera launched the
medicinal product in Germany with its own sales organization. In preparation of
the launch the sales force had been expanded, such that Biofrontera is now
within the 15 pharmaceutical companies with most sales calls at German
dermatologists. Through its own marketing and sales activities Biofrontera
generated sales of TEUR 362 in the first quarter of 2012.
In addition, Biofrontera has formed agreements with other pharmaceutical
companies about the local representation of Ameluz(®) in other European
countries. Allergan will take responsibility for the distribution in Spain,
Desitin in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and Bipharma in Benelux. Based on the
agreements that were formed in the reporting period the company received license
payments of TEUR 1,550 until the middle of April.
Through the payment of the outstanding sum of TEUR 1,000 in two tranches during
and shortly after termination of the reporting period Biofrontera has now
fulfilled all its obligations towards ASAT AG that arose from a patent purchase
contract in 2004.
To secure its liquidity Biofrontera has completed two capital increases within
the reporting period. In February the base capital was increased by nominally
EUR 500,000, in March by EUR 4,402,682. Through these financings the company
acquired about 12.9 mln. Euro.
At the beginning of the year Biofrontera's liquid assets accumulated to TEUR
554, and on 31-03-2012, the end of the reporting period, TEUR 1,192. However,
the liquidity at this day does not include the majority of the capital that
arose through the financings and the license contracts, since this was booked on
the company's accounts in the early days of April.
