“We made steady progress in the third quarter toward meeting our objectives,” stated Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA. “Most notably, we increased revenues from our plasma collection operations through our multi-year agreement with Biotest Pharmaceuticals. In addition, we manufactured a lot of RI-002 to be used in our planned clinical studies.”
 
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
 
Revenue
 
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, ADMA recognized revenues of $0.4 million, compared to $0 for the same period in 2011. Revenue in the third quarter of 2012 was primarily a result of the sales of normal source plasma pursuant to a supply agreement entered into June 2012. The source plasma sales are from material collected at ADMA’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ADMA Bio Centers which is an FDA-licensed plasma collection facility.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $0.1 million, compared to $0 for the same period in 2011. The cost of sales for the third quarter of 2012 was related to the costs associated with the sale of normal source plasma.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $1.9 million, compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2011. R&D increased for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of increased manufacturing, testing and regulatory costs for ADMA’s lead product candidate, RI-002, in preparation for an upcoming Phase III clinical study.
 
 
 

 
 
Plasma center operating expenses amounted to $0.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $1.0 million, compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2011. G&A expenses increased for the third quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of increased compensation and stock-based compensation charges along with increased professional and filing fees as a result of becoming a public company during the first quarter of 2012.
 
Net Loss
 
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, ADMA’s net loss was $3.2 million, or $(0.70) per share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $(2.79) per share, in the same period of 2011. The increase in net loss is attributable to an increase in R&D expenses attributed to the manufacturing, testing and regulatory costs of the Company’s lead product candidate and increased G&A expenses relating to increased professional filing fees as a result of becoming a public reporting company during the first quarter of 2012, along with increased compensation and stock-based compensation charges, offset by increased revenues and cost of sales. The increase in the number of shares outstanding resulted from the conversion of preferred stock and notes payable into common stock and the issuance of common stock in connection with the merger and financing in February 2012.
 
Cash Position and Accounts Receivable
 
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.7 million and $0.1 million of accounts receivable.
 
About ADMA’s lead product candidate
