August 3 - Access Pharmaceuticals Provides Update on ProLindac Clinical Development Program

 

Enrolling Ovarian Cancer Patients in France; Finalizing Clinical Trial Programs with Partners in China and Korea

 

Access Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: ACCP), provided an update on its clinical development strategy for ProLindac, a novel DACH platinum drug that has shown to be active in many solid tumors in human clinical studies. Access has commenced a new clinical study of ProLindac in France. The study will examine dose levels and regimens of ProLindac monotherapy in cancer patients, provide additional data to support design of combinations studies, and extend the safety database. Two ovarian cancer patients have been enrolled in the study to date, and it is anticipated 6 to 12 patients will be enrolled this year in advance of enrolling patients in trial evaluating ProLindac in combination with other chemotherapies. Access recently announced data from a recurrent ovarian cancer trial that showed that ProLindac was more active than currently available platinum drugs in that patient population, and that the drug was very well tolerated.

 

ProLindac is a novel DACH platinum drug that has shown to be active in many solid tumors in human clinical studies. Platinum drugs are one of the most clinically and commercially successful class of chemotherapies and generated more than $3 billion in revenue globally in 2008. Access believes that ProLindac, as a well-tolerated and active DACH platinum, represents a important improvement in the design and tolerability of platinum chemotherapies.

 

Later this month, an Access management and clinical development team is meeting with Access' partner, Aosaikang Medicinal Group (ASK) and several key oncology opinion leaders to finalize plans for ProLindac development in China. In addition, Access is meeting with its Korean partner, JCOM of Seoul, South Korea to finalize development plans in that territory. Access believes that three ProLindac combination trials will start shortly upon regulatory approvals of protocols in both China and Korea. Further, Access has reported receipt of additional milestone payments from its Far East partners in the ordinary course under their collaborative agreements.

 

"Our Chinese partner, ASK, has made great progress on manufacturing scale-up of ProLindac and advancing the Regulatory process with the SFDA. We are excited about finalizing protocols with ASK and the leading oncologists in China, and look forward to their continued progress," stated Jeffrey B. Davis, Access' President and CEO. "Additionally, we are meeting this month with JCOM and key opinion leaders in Korea, and hope to get the combination trials started in Korea as soon as reasonably possible."

 

Access intends to design all clinical studies of ProLindac in accordance with FDA standards and intends to use the clinical data from all three planned clinical trials in the Far East to further development in North America and Europe. Access has the right to all clinical data generated in the Far East under the agreements entered into with their Far East partners, and as previously announced, believes that these trials run by its ProLindac partners will save Access between $20 and $30 million in clinical development expenses.

 

Access is currently in discussion with potential partners for development and commercialization of ProLindac in additional territories.

 

ABOUT PROLINDAC™

 

ProLindac is a novel DACH platinum prodrug which has been shown to be active in a wide variety of solid tumors in both preclinical models and in human trials. Access believes that ProLindac's unique molecular design potentially could eliminate some of the toxic side effects seen in the currently marketed DACH platinum, Eloxatin, which has sales in excess of $2 billion. Access has previously announced that it has licensed ProLindac to Aosaikang Medicinal Group ("ASK") for the Greater China Region and to JCOM, Ltd for South Korea. Under these agreements both of these partners will be conducting Phase 2 combination studies with ProLindac in specific tumor types at their expense based on these results.

August 3 - Metatron Inc. Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire Just Data Inc.

 

Credit Card Processing Partner Expected to Add Significant Revenue Stream

 

Metatron Inc. (OTC: MRNJ) announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the shareholders of Just Data Inc., a Delaware corporation, to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock and make Just Data a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition is expected to close in early September but specific terms were not disclosed.

 

Just Data, Inc. is an Internet Payment Service Provider (IPSP) that enables merchants to accept payments online. Just Data's flexible solutions process credit cards, electronic checks, and telephone orders, and work with any business model, including internet, broadband, wireless, call centers and even retail establishments. The heart of the Company's strategy with Just Data lies in its ability to scale quickly and leverage Metatron's existing front-end sites and applications, but it is also focused on:

 

* Creating recurring and predictable revenue streams.

* Maintaining a merchant focused culture.

* Fostering a scalable operating structure.

* Utilizing the latest, advanced technology.

 

Commenting on the potential acquisition, Joe Riehl, CEO of Metatron, stated, "It's no secret that credit card processing is a huge market. We partnered with Just Data some time ago as it was a natural fit with our business model. Since monetization is the key to our success, it is more important than ever that we not leave any potential revenue on the table.

 

"The interesting thing that we are seeing now, however, is that while we originally worked with Just Data only with our sites and services, we now have potential contracts in the works just for transaction processing, which we expect to announce soon. In other words, we anticipate that Just Data will prove itself to be a solid, stand-alone revenue generator and will be very happy to welcome them into our team."

Tim Norton, President, Anything Trucker, stated, "We offer many safety and security products today and with NavStar providing monitoring and tracking and a communication link to the vehicle we can now enhance the products and services to include 'real time' reporting.

The annual cost of this product and service will pay for itself in 2 or 3 months."

 

"NavStar Technologies is pleased with the excitement at Anything Trucking as evidenced by their desire to get the distribution agreement completed ASAP. If we were to achieve .0005% penetrate in the US trucking market it would double our forecast of unit sales over the next four years and could add more than $30M of hardware and service revenue into our company," said N. Douglas Pritt, Chairman & CEO, NavStar Technologies, Inc. "We are negotiating the final details of the distribution agreement and should be able to complete it my the first week in August."

August 3 - Applied DNA Sciences Selected for Multi-Year Contract

 

Spearheads Green DNA Anti-Counterfeit Program for the UK and EU

 

Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB: APDN) announced that its SigNature DNA Anti-Counterfeit technology has been selected as the sole security platform in a program funded by the European Regional Development Fund (a fund allocated by the European Union) and Yorkshire Forward. SigNature DNA applications will include the protection against counterfeiting and diversion of UK manufactured textiles from "fiber to fabric." The program will protect products from other industries as well.

 

APDN is one of four innovative platform technologies chosen to help accelerate the Yorkshire and Humber region's expertise in areas of growing market demand and economic importance. The other three technologies are not related to security.

 

"The SigNature DNA Anti-Counterfeit program was selected because it offers immediate and significant competitive advantage to the Yorkshire's high quality textile manufacturers. The public funding contribution to the Program is significant, equating to over £1 million for each of the activity areas including the APDN Anti Counterfeiting activity. This contribution is designed to generate significant additional investment from the private sector which should generate at least £2 million in each activity area over the lifetime of the Program," stated Bill Macbeth, Managing Director, Textile Centre of Excellence.

 

Based on the successful completion of its Trial UK Textile contract that was completed in December 2008, this extends APDN's current collaborations with Yorkshire and the Humber-based companies as part of a three-year, £5.95 million (USD$9 million) contract funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Yorkshire Forward with the Textile Centre of Excellence and Leeds University's Centre for Technical Textiles. In addition, capital equipment allocations for a DNA Authentication facility located in Huddersfield are expected to be about £250,000 (USD$400,000). APDN will rent the entire facility from the Textile Centre of Excellence. Duplicating the contract process followed in the successful Trial Contract, the formal service contract between APDN and the Textile Centre is expected to be executed by September.

 

The DNA Anti-Counterfeit program will support pilot studies and commercial scale-up of APDN's SigNature DNA taggants. It is anticipated that the multi-year program will fund approximately 20 projects per annum. In the first year, more than 25 commercial partners have already been identified. APDN expects the financial implications to be multifaceted. The company has already begun coordinating supply arrangements with several collaborators in Yorkshire, including Addmaster and Nilorn UK.

 

"Yorkshire Forward is very pleased to invest in new platform technologies that will foster growth and, ultimately, reap positive economic benefits to the Yorkshire business community, and the UK and European public at large. SigNature DNA is a true platform technology that has exciting and practical applications that extend to multiple industry sectors," added Jim Farmery, Yorkshire Forward.

 

In April 2009, APDN established an initial DNA testing capacity at the Textile Centre of Excellence by APDN's subsidiary, Applied DNA Sciences Europe Ltd. The facility is expanding the customer base for APDN's two DNA authentication programs, SigNature DNA and BioMaterial GenoTyping™. SigNature DNA is a botanically derived marker employed to identify originals. Recently, the facility was used to complete forensic analyses on recovered evidence for multiple UK Police groups that will be used to convict criminals who steal cash-in-transit boxes, and to repatriate recovered SigNature DNA-marked money to its original owners.

 

APDN's CEO, Dr. James Hayward, added: "We are immensely proud to be a significant part of this regional development contract that will involve a wide range of potential projects based on our SigNature DNA Anti-Counterfeit Program. Our European subsidiary, centered in the UK, will pursue further business development with OEMs and security integrators, as well as governments, corporations and consumers throughout the region. The benefit of the funding is to lower any barrier to entry for our regional customers, by also providing partial funding to the customer for expenses during pre-commercial pilot work. We look forward to the opportunity to successful market engagement and accelerated routes to revenue."

August 3 - Prospect Capital Agrees to Acquire Patriot Capital for $197 Million, or 54% of Equity Book Value

 

Prospect Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEC) ("Prospect") announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Patriot Capital Funding, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCAP) ("Patriot").

 

Prospect is acquiring Patriot for $197 million, comprised of (a) cash to repay all Patriot debt, anticipated to be $110.5 million when the acquisition closes, plus (b) Prospect shares exchanged at a ratio of approximately 0.3992 Prospect shares for each Patriot share, or 8,616,467 Prospect shares for 21,584,251 Patriot shares, with such exchange ratio decreased by any tax distributions Patriot may declare before closing.

 

The acquisition, unanimously approved by both of Prospect's and Patriot's Board of Directors, is expected to close in the next 60 days. The acquisition is subject to Patriot stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions. Patriot's shareholders will own 15% of Prospect's outstanding shares pro forma for the acquisition, so Prospect shareholder approval is not required.

 

Prospect believes the benefits of the acquisition for its shareholders include, but are not limited to:

 

* Accretion: Prospect expects the Prospect shares issued to generate 64 cents per share per quarter of net investment income, which would be accretive to Prospect at 10 cents per share per quarter across all Prospect shares pro forma for the acquisition. Prospect expects to generate a more than 20% IRR and 2x cash-on-cash return on the Patriot acquisition.

 

* Attractive Price: Prospect is acquiring Patriot for 63% of asset cost, 75% of asset book value, and 54% of equity book value. Purchases of assets below book value, if such assets have existing leverage, imply even greater discounts to equity book value. Prospect's purchase price, assuming Prospect has to pay 100 cents on the dollar for the debt financed portion of the Patriot portfolio, translates into 54 cents on the dollar for the equity portion.

 

* Synergy: Because Patriot has been in default without forbearance from its lenders, creating a risk of lender foreclosure eliminating Patriot equity value, and because Patriot has ceased its dividend, Patriot's stock price has traded at significant discounts to net asset value. Prospect's acquisition, which pays off Patriot's existing debt, enables both a premium to the Patriot share price as well as a discount to Patriot net asset value, unlocking value for mutual shareholder benefit.

 

* Scale: With this acquisition, Prospect's gross assets increase by more than 35% and equity capitalization increases by more than 14% without incurring underwriting costs associated with a stock offering. Prospect expects this greater scale to enhance daily trading volume, increase Prospect's attractiveness to lending institutions, and expand access to investment opportunities, including both individual transactions as well as portfolio purchase opportunities similar to Patriot.

 

* Diversification: Prospect will double its number of portfolio companies to over 60 by adding approximately 30 companies located in 13 U.S. states and covering 18 industry sectors.

 

* Seniority: 70% of the acquired asset value is in portfolio companies where Patriot has a senior secured position in the capital structure.

 

* Private Equity Sponsor Expansion: Patriot has pursued a strategy of lending to middle market private equity sponsors. With this acquisition, Prospect deepens its presence in the sponsor marketplace, building on Prospect's own sponsor business in addition to Prospect's direct lending and controlled buyouts.

 

* Low Leverage: On a combined basis, Prospect's debt to equity is expected to be less than 20%.

 

* Tax-free: The acquisition is expected to be considered a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code.

 

All amounts set forth herein are estimates subject to change.

 

"The Patriot acquisition is a perfect example of our previously stated strategy to go on offense in the current opportunity-rich marketplace in which competitors have faltered with overleveraged balance sheets," said M. Grier Eliasek, President of Prospect. "We are pursuing other move-the- needle portfolio opportunities similar to Patriot in addition to continuing our work on individual transactions."

 

"We are pleased to be completing with Patriot the first of what we hope will be multiple strategically compelling acquisitions to drive superior value to our shareholders," said John F. Barry III, Chief Executive Officer of Prospect. "We would not have signed this agreement but for the creativity, drive, and persistence of Grier Eliasek, and his team, focusing and executing on this wonderful opportunity for Prospect and Patriot. We look forward to having Richard Buckanavage and other Patriot professionals join our team."

 

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as Prospect's legal counsel in connection with the transaction and related matters.

 

FBR Capital Markets & Co. served as financial advisor to Patriot in connection with the transaction, and Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP served as Patriot's legal counsel in connection with the transaction and related matters.

The company plans to produce a Biodiesel sample product from this initial harvest and initiate lab testing of the Biodiesel fuel samples to calculate the emission reductions of a diesel engine operating on the ALGAE based Biodiesel fuel. The results of the test will be made available by Press Release and the company's website.
