Deltagen Reports 2012 Second Quarter Financial Results

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Deltagen, Inc. (Pink Sheets: DGEN), a leading provider of drug discovery tools and services to the biopharmaceutical industry, today reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2012.


Revenues: The Company's consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $0.220 million. The revenues in the second quarter of 2012 were attributable primarily to license fees associated with the provision of knockout mice and related phenotypic data pursuant to orders placed by customers under the Company's DeltaOneTM program. The consolidated revenues for the period included $0.018 million for Benten BioServices, Inc. ("Benten BioServices") and $0.008 million for Xenopharm, Inc. ("Xenopharm"), both of which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company as of June 30, 2012. The revenues for the second quarter of 2012 reflect delays in international shipments of knockout mice that had been scheduled for delivery and invoicing in the second quarter, which delays had been caused by unusually high temperatures that risked the health and viability of the knockout mice. The revenues associated with such delayed shipments, which total approximately $0.100 million, are expected to be recognized in the third quarter of 2012.

Expenses: Total consolidated expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $1.484 million. The expenses in the second quarter of 2012 were attributable primarily to labor costs and other general and administrative expenses, including expenses of $1.217 million relating to the operation of Benten BioServices ("Benten Expenses"), $0.082 million in royalty and commission expenses, and non-recurring expenses of $0.003 million associated with the royalties and prosecution and issuance of patents licensed exclusively to Xenopharm. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had incurred aggregate total royalties to Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Lexicon") of $5.645 million to a March 2005 settlement agreement between Lexicon and the Company. Under the settlement, the maximum aggregate amount of royalty payments due to Lexicon is $6.00 million. Accordingly, up to $0.355 million in contingent royalty payments remained owed to Lexicon as of June 30, 2012.

Net Income/Losses: Consolidated net losses before provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $1.263 million. Excluding Benten Expenses, the net loss before provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 would have been $0.065 million.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Accounts Receivable: As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $0.354 million in consolidated cash and cash equivalents and $0.082 million in accounts receivable.

Major Events during Q2 2012 and Subsequent Events:

Benten BioServices: Benten BioServices had received an aggregate total of $2.940 million in secured bridge financing. The financing was led by Life Sciences Green House of Central Pennsylvania ("LSGH"). On August 14, 2012, the $2.940 million in bridge loans was converted into 6,134,008 shares of preferred stock of Benten BioServices ("Series A Initial Closing") at an issue price of $0.48 per share ("Series A Initial Closing Price"). Deltagen, and executives and directors of Deltagen and Benten BioServices, or entities related thereto, participated in the Series A Initial Closing. Following the Series A Initial Closing, excluding Benten BioServices' stock options, Deltagen held 43.8% of the outstanding shares of Benten BioServices, comprising 39.5% in common stock of Benten BioServices and 4.3% in preferred stock of Benten BioServices. The executives and directors of Deltagen and Benten BioServices, or entities related thereto, received in the aggregate 9.5% of the outstanding shares of Benten BioServices as preferred stock. The participants in the Series A Initial Closing received in the aggregate 60.5% of the outstanding shares of Benten BioServices as preferred stock. Benten BioServices has the authority to issue 65 million shares, comprising 50 million shares of common stock and 15 million shares of preferred stock. Under Benten BioServices' equity incentive plan, 1,381,910 shares of Benten BioServices' common stock are reserved for the issuance of stock options. After the Series A Initial Closing, Benten BioServices may sell, on the same terms and conditions, up to 4,282,659 additional shares of preferred stock. Shares of preferred stock are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price equal to the Series A Initial Closing Price. The preferred stock will be automatically converted into common stock at the then effective conversion price upon the approval of such conversion by at least 67% of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock or upon the closing of a public offering in which the public offering price per share is at least $1.92 and the gross cash proceeds are at least $50 million. Deltagen shall retain a seat on the board of directors of Benten BioServices solely representing Deltagen so long as it beneficially owns at least 10% of the outstanding common stock of the company. Benten BioServices will require additional capital by the fourth quarter of 2012 in order to continue to fund its operations in accordance with its business plan.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2012, accompanying notes, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations for such period will be posted on Deltagen's website (www.deltagen.com).
