Bioprogress (BPRG)     

scorpion - 13 Aug 2003 13:54

Bioprogress is a stock I have been in and out of quite a few times since it floated in May but not much mention here on the Investors' Room. Does anyone else follow this stock. I see it is up 1.5p today and a few good buyers seem to have appeared.

A surprise Xmas present is rumoured to be on its way from R. Trevellion. The guy delivers, so it could be very nice.

With some positive product news, BPRG has performed well over the last 6 months. The products have real mass market potential.

Operational Board Update and Appointment

01/02/2007

London, UK, 1 February 2007: BioProgress plc ('BioProgress' or the 'Company') (AIM: BPRG; NASDAQ: BPRG), the speciality pharmaceutical and healthcare company, today announces the creation of a new executive operational board for the Company, and the appointment of Keith Hemming, as Head of Operations, a new position within the management team of BioProgress.

The operational board will be responsible for the day to day management of the Group. This has become necessary as the number of new development projects both for partners and for the Company's own pharmaceutical division is increasing substantially due to positive validation work and the adoption of a number of BioProgress"s enabling systems. At the same time the core pharmaceutical division Dexo is undergoing rapid growth in all of its territories. This underlying organic growth validates the Companys product led strategy and creates the resource necessary for continued substantial growth.

Keith Hemming, the new Head of Operations, has over twenty years experience in the Pharmaceutical industry, holding senior marketing and General Management positions with Squibb, Yamanouchi, and most recently as President UK Operations for Fujisawa Pharma, member of the Fujisawa European senior management team. Prior to this he was with Astellas Pharmaceuticals Global Licensee Division working on European strategy and implementation. During his career he launched Flomax and Protopic in the UK, and took Prograf, an immunosuppressant, to market leadership.

Keith was a member of the Board of Management of the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) for four years, and member of the UK Pharmaceutical Code of Practice Appeal Board.

He was also founder and first Chair of the UK Japanese Pharmaceutical Group associated to the Japanese Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (JPMA), and Chair of the Industry Group for the National Health Service Framework for Renal Services.

Richard Trevillion, Chief Executive Officer, BioProgress Plc, said:

"We are pleased to welcome Keith to the operational management team. Keith has substantial experience in sales and marketing and in managing high growth late stage pharmaceutical product development. His knowledge of the Japanese pharmaceutical industry is also welcome as BioProgress increases its marketing activity within Japan.

Keith Hemming, Head of Operations, said:

I am delighted to be joining BioProgress at such an exciting stage in the Companys development. The recent increase in activity is testament to the strength of the core enabling systems which are contributing to a strong product development pipeline. The resulting rapid growth in the Dexo pharmaceutical sales and marketing division validates the product led speciality pharmaceutical model that BioProgress is proactively pursuing.

This company seems to be heading in the right direction at last.

BioProgress (DEXO) Agreement to Promote Accuhist(R) Product Line in U.S.

London, UK, 7 March 2007: BioProgress plc ('BioProgress' or the 'Company') (AIM:
BPRG; NASDAQ: BPRG), the specialty pharmaceutical and healthcare company, is
pleased to announce the completion of an agreement with Tiber Laboratories to
promote the Accuhist(R) line of pediatric drops throughout the United States.

The company will be responsible for sales and promotion of three well-known
products - Accuhist Pediatric Drops, Accuhist(R) PDX Drops, and Accuhist(R) DM
Drops. The products compete in the growing category of cough/cold drops for
infants, a market currently in excess of $2 billion. The Accuhist(R) line was
sold nationally by PediaMed in the years prior to the sale to Tiber
Laboratories. In recent years the Accuhist(R) line held the number two position
in share of the key US market. The new agreement between Tiber Laboratories and
DEXO, BioProgress' U.S. pharmaceutical subsidiary, will reestablish promotion of
this widely prescribed product.

In addition, BioProgress will develop for Tiber Laboratories a film strip
version of the popular Accuhist(R) product which is scheduled for launch in H2
2007. The product will be promoted by Tiber Laboratories with a development
royalty on sales paid to BioProgress' manufacturing subsidiary BioTec Films.
The tremendous growth of film strips as a convenient means of patient dosing is
changing the face of medicine, and Tiber Laboratories anticipates the film strip
becoming an integral part of their product offering.

Specifically, BioProgress will realise 50% of the sales of the Accuhist(R)
Pediatric, PDX and DM drops for a period beginning shortly after the date of
this agreement and a further 10% Royalty based on gross sales of the film strip
version of Accuhist(R). BioProgress will also have the opportunity to realize up
to 80% of the sales of Accuhist(R) Pediatric, PDX and DM drops once various
milestones have been achieved regarding the sales of the film strip product.

BioProgress continues the aggressive development of products for the pediatric
market. This agreement adds pediatric drop products to the portfolio,
augmenting the existing array of products including brands such as Ah-Chew(R)
and E-Z Spacer(R). The company has several new products in development
including an orally dissolving tablet, and several films version of the Ah-Chew
line.

Richard Trevillion, Chief Executive Officer, of BioProgress commented:

'The Accuhist(R) line is a high profile U.S. brand that will add depth to our
growing U.S. portfolio. The Accuhist(R) product is a prominent player in the
pediatric drops category over the last several years, and we look forward to
adding DEXO's sales resources to increase the Accuhist share of this major
category.'

Actually, that was a mindless post to see if my sign on worked.

That said I do expect significant news in the short term. All one has to do is go backwards from a product launch last qtr 2007 and BPRG simply have to have news in the wing.

Not the result some wanted, but with a mkt cap of around 90m and less than zero profits, what else can be expected?

They haven't given us a product buy for EXGEL and really for most of us that's what we have been led to believe was the lynchpin for the future? Mkt cap might halve from here and not many would be surprised? 'Till they give us the nod on XGEL that is.

Share price up about 5.14% with increased volume based on the above information.

Interesting to see next week.

Will this ever be a quid again?

Seriously, they seem to bring out a stream of decent news. You'd think it would stick more than the smellier stuff these days. Hmm.

Fred1new - 19 May 2007 13:14 - 2315 of 2372

BA, I think so, but it has to breakout of the present side way trading and break through its 75p resistance level.

The projected results should support future higher price.

The majority of analyst are positive.

I think (hope) it will fly over the next few months unless stalled by overall market retracement.

Big Al - 19 May 2007 22:25 - 2316 of 2372

Sentiment is a strong driver in stock markets unfortunately Fred.

It seems to be bad around here still.

Acquisition of PharmaHerb Limited
21/05/2007


London, UK, 21 May 2007: BioProgress (AIM: BPRG; NASDAQ: BPRG), the specialty pharma and healthcare company today announces the acquisition of PharmaHerb Limited ("PharmaHerb), a UK-based vitamin and nutritional business. The consideration for the acquisition was 600,000 which has been settled by 150,000 cash and the issue of 694,981 ordinary shares of the Company with a value of 450,000. Application will be made for these new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that dealings will commence on 24 May 2007.


PharmaHerb is a specialist 'Over-the-Counter' (OTC) products company, whose core activities include product formulation, manufacturing and packaging. The acquisition includes PharmaHerb"s Kudos range of brands together with its sales and marketing capabilities. The Kudos brand is a premier label business focused on the promotion of vitamin and nutritional products through established and diversified distribution channels. These distribution channels include niche health shops, pharmacies as well as supermarket chains. The business also has a direct-to-consumer internet sales capability (www.kudosvitamins.com).

The acquisition of PharmaHerb creates an OTC platform for the Company with established sales and marketing channels which will allow BioProgress to directly market its own OTC ranges into its domestic market. Pharmaherb acquired the assets of Kudos in March 2007 which included packaging equipment, stock, formulations, intellectual property as well as sales and marketing agreements and established channels to the OTC consumer market. The sales of Pharmaherb are negligible (2006 sales of Kudos were 255,000 and the business invested approximately 1m in capital for assets and infrastructure growth), however, the assets represent an operating infrastructure and thus a low cost entry into the UK market. BioProgress expects to utilise these assets immediately to create strong organic growth. Combining the Kudos and Dexo product ranges will provide a broader product portfolio to further develop and expand the acquired sales and distribution capabilities. In particular the business will be used as a base to launch future UK Soluleaves, Meltums and other XGEL enhanced OTC products.

The acquisition is analogus to that of DMPL earlier in the year and will provide a significant distribution channel for the MINCI DIET product range as well as supporting the co-promotion of SlimThru obtained through a partnership agreement with Melbrosin International, announced earlier this year.

Richard Trevillion, Chief Executive Officer said:

The acquisition of PharmaHerb Limited and the Kudos brand are an important step as a launch pad for our own XGEL OTC products and to generate revenues within the UK market place. The acquisition further strengthens our position and reflects our drive into the growing niche branded OTC market. The established distribution channels that come with this acquisition allows us greater and more rapid market access for our growing product portfolio.
