AGM Statement

 

Immunodiagnostic Systems Holdings plc (AIM: IDH), a leading producer of specialist diagnostic testing kits for the clinical and research markets, will hold its Annual General Meeting today at 3.00pm at the offices of Brewin Dolphin Limited at 12 Smithfield Street, London EC1A 9BD.

 

At the meeting Chairman, David Evans, will make the following statement to shareholders:

 

"Revenues to 31 August are £22.6m compared with £18.4m for the comparative period in 2010. We have seen continued growth in our IDS-iSYS revenues which have grown £4.4m over the comparative period. As of 31 August 299 instruments have been sold or placed an increase of 58 systems since the year end and we anticipate a further 15 instruments being placed or sold in September. Average revenue per instrument is £88k compared to £72k in August 2010.

 

Our revenues are traditionally weighted to the second-half of the year and we believe this year that the trend ratio will be higher this financial year reflecting both a seasonally quieter July and August and also higher anticipated reagent / instrument sales pull-through and the anticipated continued resilience of manual product sales in the second-half.

 

The process of transition in terms of the Board has continued since the year end. We have added Roland Sackers, the CFO of QIAGEN N.V. and at the end of this meeting Anthony Martin, who has a long-established track record in the diagnostics and life sciences space, will succeed me as Chairman.

We remain active in examining the potential for licensing-out our automated IDS-iSYS platform into other disease areas not served by the Company and which can help drive value. We have ongoing discussions in autoimmune disease and in coagulation testing outside of Europe and we will keep you updated as discussions progress.

 

Finally we continue to seek acquisitions where we believe we can either add value to our existing franchise in bone and mineral disease or where we can validly exploit the IDS-iSYS asset base.

 

A more detailed trading update will be given week commencing 3rd October."
