Boston (March 10, 2015) - Allied Minds (LSE: ALM), an innovative U.S. science and technology development and commercialization company, announced the formation of BridgeSat, Inc., which is building an optical connectivity system to improve the wireless transfer of data from satellites.

BridgeSat co-invented the technology with The Aerospace Corporation as part of a commercialization collaboration for the portfolio of innovations created at the federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). Aerospace has a long history of developing technologies for space, including 15 years of experience building small satellite technologies for both commercial and government entities.

"The Aerospace Corporation is a key player and leader in all aspects of space communication systems and technologies," said Dr. Sherrie Zacharius, Vice President of Technology and Laboratory Operations. "Through our robust research and development endeavors, we have established a rich portfolio of innovative building-block technologies applicable to broad public needs. This collaboration with Allied Minds, which led to the formation of BridgeSat, provides an avenue for technology transfer to the commercial sector for the common good."

"Our research with The Aerospace Corporation has allowed us to explore new, more effective options for LEO data transmissions," said John Serafini, Vice President at Allied Minds. "At BridgeSat, we believe we've solved challenges including size, weight, cost and power bottlenecks that had traditionally hampered optical-based data downlink, as the technology ultimately offers substantial benefits over traditional RF downlink."

Demand for accurate and frequent data collection from LEO satellites is expected to accelerate aggressively over the next decade amidst declining costs for building and launching satellites. BridgeSat has partnered with Draper Laboratory to develop the system that will provide an alternative downlink mechanism that is faster, more secure, and available at a lower cost to traditional radio-frequency transmissions.

"Draper's expertise in space systems technologies, optics and secure digital data links, as well as its experience in applying its capabilities to expanding commercial markets, will help BridgeSat mature its concepts throughout development and operations," said Dr. Seamus Tuohy, director of Space Systems at Draper Laboratory.

BridgeSat has also engaged with Dr. Kerri L. Cahoy, Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Cahoy will serve as a Senior Advisor to the company. BridgeSat has optioned a relevant selection of intellectual property from Cambridge, Massachusetts-based MIT.

"Optical communications offer a significant advantage in both resource utilization and security. We are innovating to improve and miniaturize spacecraft-pointing capabilities, an important enabler for higher-rate narrow beam optical systems, improved transmitter efficiency and the development of low-cost, easily deployed, and effective ground systems," said Dr. Cahoy.

BridgeSat, Inc. is a subsidiary of Boston-based Allied Minds. More information about the company and its research can be found www.BridgeSatInc.com.

Allied-Bristol Life Sciences - a biopharmaceutical enterprise jointly owned by Allied Minds and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company - has entered into a licensing agreement with Harvard University based on research and intellectual property developed in Professor Whitman's lab at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

Malcolm Whitman, PhD, Professor of Developmental Biology, and Tracy Keller, PhD, an instructor in the Department of Developmental Biology, have identified the mechanism of action behind a known natural product, halofuginone (HF).

HF is a chemical compound based on an active ingredient in the root of the blue evergreen hydrangea (Dichroa febrifuga), which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries.

Building on previous studies conducted with Mark Sundrud, PhD, and Anjana Rao, PhD, at Boston Children's Hospital, Professor Whitman's lab, in collaboration with Professor Ralph Mazitschek, PhD, at the Center for Systems Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital, has shown that HF works through inhibition of Prolyl-tRNA synthetase, which leads to activation of an amino acid restriction (AAR) response pathway.

Based on this novel and differentiated mechanism, several lead molecules have been identified by the groups at HMS and MGH that have the potential to lead to effective therapy for several conditions including fibrotic and autoimmune diseases.

Allied Minds posts a loss of $39.1m for the six months to the end of June compared with $27.2m a year ago.

Revenue fell to $1.5m (HY14: $2.9m) which was primarily attributable to the lower product revenue at RF Biocidics, offset by the grant revenue at SiEnergy from the ARPA-E award.

Revenues at CryoXtract and SoundCure remained relatively consistent when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Cost of revenue was lower by $1.2 million, at $0.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (HY14: $1.9m) as a result of the lower sales in the period, when compared to the same period in the prior year.

The company also announced that its joint venture with Bristol-Myers Squibb Co, Allied-Bristol Life Sciences, has licensed a proprietary platform technology from Yale University, developed in the laboratory of Dr. David Spiegel.

The proprietary platform, and associated lead molecules known as Antibody-Recruiting molecules (ARMs), provide a novel approach for the treatment of cancer.

Allied Minds, through its newly formed subsidiary, ABLS Capital, it has secured investment commitments of $80 million to fund up to 10 potential lead optimisation programmes of promising drug development opportunities that have successfully completed an initial candidate feasibility programme.

Under the terms of the ABLS partnership formed between Allied Minds and BMS in 2014, BMS is committed to fund an additional $20 million along with these commitments.

Investors in ABLS Capital include Woodford Investment Management (committing to fund up to $40 million), Invesco Asset Management (committing to fund up to $20 million), as well as Allied Minds and others.

ABLS is a drug discovery company focused on identifying and developing biopharmaceutical innovations from leading U.S. universities and research institutions that it believes have significant therapeutic and commercial potential. ABLS focuses on early-stage opportunities in key therapeutic areas, including fibrosis, cardiovascular, oncology, immunology and genetically defined diseases. ABLS forms and funds new subsidiary companies to conduct an initial feasibility programme on identified discoveries. Upon completion of a successful feasibility program, ABLS arranges for additional funds to be provided to such ABLS subsidiary for the next stage of development. ABLS Capital will provide 80% of the funds for this critical next stage, and together with the 20% of funds provided by BMS, will ensure that up to ten ABLS subsidiaries will have the necessary capital to seek to identify pre-clinical drug candidates. Chris Silva, CEO of Allied Minds, said: "This is another exciting step forward for achieving the goals of ABLS, which was formed less than two years ago. Backed by supportive new investors and together with our partner Bristol-Myers Squibb, we have secured sufficient funding commitments for the pre-clinical development of up to ten drug candidates. Each of these have the potential to address areas of great unmet medical need across very sizeable markets."
