Q1 P&L forecasts: While the failure of the OASIS trial in severe sepsis was<br />
announced in early February, we expect still relatively high level of R&D in Q1. A<br />
large chunk of the OASIS costs should have been paid upfront to the CRO, beside<br />
additional expenses related to the closure of certain clinical sites should have<br />
weighed in Q1. We expect R&D effort in the range of EUR10m. Admin costs<br />
should be up YoY (up 31% to EUR3m) due to intensified launch activities ahead of<br />
the FDA decision on talactoferrin approval this summer. All in all we expect a net<br />
loss of EUR12.9m in Q1.<br />
Cash position: At the end of March 2012, we forecast Agennix net cash position to<br />
amount to EUR30.2m, translating a monthly burn rate of EUR3.5m<br />
News flow: We would not expect significant news flow in the scope of the Q1<br />
reporting. The company is likely to reiterate the time line it provided for the<br />
FORTIS M phase III data publication (July/August). Potentially, further details on<br />
the OASIS trial might be disclosed by the company. However, we would not expect<br />
a clear decision on the next development step in severe sepsis to be made before<br />
FORTIS M delivers its phase III results in NSCLC.<br />
Conclusion & Action: We would not expect meaningful news flow in the Q1<br />
reporting. Key to the investment case will be the upcoming FORTIS M phase III<br />
data publication in July/August.<br />
