Latest GECR update 15th October 2006

Latest GE&CR update - 15th Oct 2006 :


The news investors have all been waiting for - regarding negotiations with a US dermatological pharmaceutical firm has finally been unveiled. The licence has been granted under an agreement to
Cutanea, a U.S. pharmaceutical company, specialising in the development of dermatology products in the US market.

The licence is for new applications of ICVT for the treatment of dermatological conditions in humans. The agreement and takes the form of an exclusive American, Mexican and Canadian wide licence to bring products to market through a programme of pre-clinical and clinical development of treatments either by Cutanea or through a sub-licence. Under the terms of the Agreement, Henderson Morley will receive up to 6.675 million dollars in development and commercialisation milestone payments up to the point at which the application receives regulatory approval, and will receive royalties on net sales thereafter.

Under its business plan, Henderson Morley has stated its belief that, following clinical development and regulatory licence approval, sales of the product in excess of $1.5 billion could be achieved over the subsequent ten year period. This would give a potential royalty to Henderson Morley in excess of $115 million over this term.

As a drug discovery company, it is imperative that Henderson continues to grant licenses to further develop its technology portfolio. This is the group's third ICVT license agreement. Encouragingly, Cutanea has a great management team with a proven track record of commercialising dermatology products.

Meanwhile, the company has announced that it has been working away on a vaccine against Koi Carp Herpes virus. The group believes it is now ready to start field trials of a
candidate vaccine, in a collaboration with the Internationally renowned Hagerman
Aquaculture Research Institute in Idaho USA. The initial immunogenicity studies should produce results within 6 months, enabling Henderson Morley scientists to optimise the vaccine formulation, with a view to securing a product licence from the veterinary authorities as soon as practicable.

Clearly activity at Henderson Morley has been significant in recent weeks. The licensing announcement is very encouraging, but with the news now out of the way, the shares have eased - a classic case of buy on the rumour, sell on the news. That said, the stock has now pulled back below the recent placing price. With so much going on at the company, further newsflow in the shorter term is far from unlikely.

*Henderson Morley is a corporate client of Bishopsgate Communications which is owned by RSH, the ultimate owner of GE&CR.

Forecasts and a formal recommendation are suspended ahead of the publication of a detailed note next month.

This now clears up working cap for an extended period of time and should allow them to get something in place in terms of revenue generation.

HML playing up today, up 28%.

Another false dawn or is some good news finally just around the corner ?

It was a 3.5 million buy at way over the offer that made HML rise today, someone is confident of things to come.

More buys through and moving up again, you have to think something is happening now in the background.

Aim listed drug discovery firm Henderson Morley's recent rude market health continued, up .1p to .9p on heavy trading, after suggestions it was close to securing a licensing deal with a pharma company for one of it's anti-viral drugs.

Taken from there website;

As a drug discovery company, Henderson Morley does not have the infrastructure to take projects through the clinical trial process without a commercial partner.
Once certain in-house milestones have been achieved (typically in-vitro testing in the Company's own laboratories) partners will be sought to take a commercial licence for the technology.
This will enable Henderson Morley to continue to develop future opportunities whilst using the infrastructure and potential distribution of commercial partners.

Licensing opportunities are available for the following applications of ICVT:

Ocular infections

Dermal Infections

Veterinarian applications

Vaccines

In summary we now have the Express tip

And from the recent 28 Oct RNS;

The Company continues to invest in patents for the further development of its platform technology, ICVT, [b]and has recently received notification that the Company has been granted a second EU patent for the ICVT platform.

Several new patent applications have been filed, including patents addressing specific product formulations, improved and enhanced potency of ICVT and for the use of ICVT in completely different (ie non viral) disease areas addressing
significant unmet medical need.

I hope that the rumoured deal is for this significant unmet medical need area, but there is plenty of wood on the fire now, just waiting for the flames to come through the smoke.

Latest update from GECR 11th Dec 05;

Henderson Morley is continuing its key discussions with potential partners over the out-licensing its ICVT anti-viral platform. The company undertook a further fundraising on October 28th, raising 250,000 pounds at 0.5p a share to provide working capital for this purpose. This should be sufficient for some time as the company has a low cash burn of around 40,000 pounds per month. Once licensing deals are struck, these will bring milestone payments and ultimately, royalties. As with any biotechnology these discussions and negotiations take time - but the product is good and it works. The antiviral treatments have great scope for becoming over-the-counter medicines and the company just has to strike the right deal at the right price. We continue to believe that the potential of the Henderson Morley portfolio is not discounted in its share price and that the stock will be re-rated significantly when a licensing deal is announced.

Latest Update from GECR 8th Jan 2006

Henderson Morley is continuing its key discussions with potential partners over the out-licensing its ICVT anti-viral platform and undertook a fundraising in October, raising 250,000 pounds at 0.5p a share to provide working capital for this

As with any biotechnology operation these discussions and negotiations take time - but HM's antiviral treatments have great scope for becoming over-the-counter medicines and the company just has to strike the right deal at the right price.
Henderson Morley is in the process of exploiting its new, patented technology that could revolutionise the treatment of some common diseases - and some not so common.
The company is currently focusing on the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) - a type of virus that is responsible for non-life threatening conditions such as conjunctivitis, skin warts, genital warts and verrucae, but also more serious conditions such as cervical cancer. The platform actually stops viruses from forming within an infected cell be affecting its salt balance. This is a new way of
targeting virus activity and its products will be unique in the market place. The potential revenues generated by its treatment pipeline are enormous and the company is carefully seeking licensing partners to ensure that it could fully exploit this revenue stream.
Management is confident that the right deal can be struck at the right price and are continuing to work towards this goal. The stance remains "speculative buy."

.

Interims out today, there is some juicy news though, this new use sounds good.

Business Review

Research continues in the anti-viral and vaccine pipeline. The technology known
as PREPS and L-particles, which was originally developed by the UK Government's
Medical Research Council Virology unit in Glasgow, is owned by the Company.
Following independent research in the USA, new and potentially valuable
applications of this technology have been discovered in the multi-billion dollar organ transplant rejection market. A new patent has been filed for the new use of PREPS and L-particles as immunomodulators, with potential application as a treatment for diseases of an overactive immune system such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, acute and chronic organ rejection and connective tissue disorders. As a result, the Company has retained a US based biotechnology licensing consultant with a view to exploiting this potential application.

The Company now has 25 granted patents in respect of its ICVT technology
platform with a significant number of other patents filed and under examination
by the patent authorities.

Any ideas on the volume and rise today PP ?

Volume and price has been rising, which could mean some news is coming ! However, with HML never hold your breath while waiting for news !

But, you never know, something is due, some kind of deal.
