nic later this
year as the first recombinant human protein produced from safflower to
advance into human trials, which addresses a component of the largest
volume drug protein market in the world. The animal results we received
demonstrating safflower-produced Apo AI(Milano) successfully increased
cholesterol mobilization were a critical milestone for the Company. With
these data in hand, we are now able to intensify our formal partnering
process for Apo AI(Milano) in parallel to the execution of additional
animal studies designed to show plaque remodeling and plaque regression. We
are already engaged in discussions with several major pharmaceutical
companies concerning this program," said Andrew Baum, president and chief
executive officer of SemBioSys. "As we advanced each of our pharmaceutical
programs we also made important operational progress with our subsidiary,
Botaneco. The funding from AVAC and Avrio provides Botaneco with the
financial independence to pursue commercial opportunities on its own, while
SemBioSys focuses its resources on advancing the insulin and Apo AI(Milano)
programs."
Financials
Prior to the third quarter of 2007, SemBioSys operated under one
segment. During the third quarter of 2007, Botaneco completed construction
of its manufacturing facility and SemBioSys began to operate in two
reportable segments: (i) the Biopharmaceutical, Animal Health and
Nutritional Oils segment focused on the Company's lead pharmaceutical
candidates, recombinant human insulin and Apo AI(Milano) and (ii) the
Specialty Ingredients segment. As of October 1, 2007, Botaneco Specialty
Ingredients Inc. was established as a separate legal entity, and SemBioSys'
previously dormant U.S. subsidiary, SemBioSys Inc., was renamed as Botaneco
Inc.
Total revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008
was $62,207 and $272,234 respectively, compared with $459,407 and
$1,002,195 for the corresponding periods in 2007. The difference is due
