Helix BioPharma reports Q2 2008 highlights, financi...(y 31 2008 the Company had cash and cash ...)

Date:3/10/2008

y 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $23,263,000, compared to $11,379,000 at July 31, 2007. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is the result of a private placement completed on December 19, 2007, when the Company issued 10,040,000 common shares for gross proceeds totaling $16,867,200. The total number of common shares issued as of January 31, 2008, was 46,375,335, compared to 36,335,335 in the same period last year. At January 31, 2008, the Company's working capital was $23,016,000, compared to $11,468,000 at July 31, 2007. After taking into consideration the Company's anticipated revenue, planned research and development expenditures and the assumption that there will not be unanticipated expenses, the Company expects that its current working capital will be sufficient to finance operations beyond the 2010 fiscal year.

The Company will continue to seek additional funding, primarily by way of equity offerings, to carry out its business plan and to minimize risks to its operations. The market, however, for equity financings for companies such as Helix is challenging, and there can be no assurance that additional funding by way of equity financing will be available. The failure of the Company to obtain additional funding on a timely basis may result in the Company reducing or delaying one or more of its planned research, development and marketing programs and reducing related personnel, any of which could impair the current and future value of the business. Any additional equity financing, if secured, may result in significant dilution to the existing shareholders at the time of such financing. The Company may also seek additional funding from other sources, including technology licensing, co-development collaborations and other strategic alliances, which, if obtained, may reduce the Company's interest in its projects or products. There can be no assurance, however, that any alternative sources of funding will be available.
