ADMA Biologics, Inc. (OTCQB:ADMA), a late stage biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and intends to market specialty plasma-based biologics for the treatment and prevention of certain infectious diseases, today reported its financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2014 and announced recent company developments and anticipated milestones for 2014.

"ADMA Biologics continued to make clinical and financial progress during the first quarter. Our ongoing pivotal Phase III study has advanced as expected and is on schedule to report preliminary data later this year. During the first quarter, we added to our capital resources with approximately $5 million of new funding, strengthening our cash position through the refinancing of our notes with Hercules Technology Growth Capital (NYSE: HTGC). We have an additional tranche of $5 million available at our option upon achieving a future milestone.

ADMA BioCenters is operating in top-form as revenues during the first quarter have approximately doubled to $1.6 million over the comparable reporting period in 2013. The expansion and growth of this business unit is underway and on schedule. We believe 2014 will be a transformative year for the company, our expected milestones and achievements for 2014 will be highly value creating for our shareholders," stated Adam Grossman, ADMA Biologics President and Chief Executive Officer.

• Increased Hercules Technology Growth Capital loan to $10 million
• Intend to file Biologics License Application (BLA) for new ADMA BioCenters plasma collection facility

Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended 2014

At March 31, 2014, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $28.7 million, as compared to approximately $29.1 million at December 31, 2013. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2014 are expected to fund operations into the first half of 2016.

The consolidated net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $5.9 million, or $(0.64) per share, compared to a consolidated net loss of approximately $3.2 million, or ($0.55) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. We had revenues of approximately $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increased quarter-over-quarter net loss was primarily attributed to higher research and development expenses of approximately $4.3 million during the first quarter ended 2014, compared to approximately $1.5 million during the first quarter ended 2013. The increased research and development expenses are primarily attributed to higher manufacturing costs during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, as we accelerated the completion of our clinical drug product manufacturing ahead of schedule for our Phase III clinical study, for which, patient enrollment was completed during the fourth quarter of 2013. Additionally, overall net loss increased from higher costs of product expenses attributed to increased volumes, donor collections and associated costs, increased plasma center operating costs as a result of advertising and promotion expenses, increased headcount and facility capital expenditures, offset by lower general and administrative costs primarily as a result of higher professional fees in 2013 associated with financing related charges incurred, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Included in the net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were non-cash expenses of stock based compensation of $0.2 million.

About ADMA's lead product candidate RI-002

ADMA's lead product candidate, RI-002 is a specialty plasma-derived, polyclonal, Intravenous Immune Globulin, or IGIV, derived from human plasma containing naturally occurring polyclonal antibodies (e.g., streptococcus pneumoniae, H. influenza type B, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), measles, tetanus, etc.) as well as high levels of antibodies targeted to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). ADMA is pursuing an indication for the use of this specialty IGIV product for treatment of patients diagnosed with primary immune deficiency diseases, or PIDD. Polyclonal antibodies are the primary component of IGIV products. Polyclonal antibodies are proteins produced by B-cells that are used by the body's immune system to neutralize microbes, such as bacteria and viruses. The polyclonal antibodies that are present in RI-002 are expected to prevent infections in immune-compromised patients. The product is currently being evaluated in a Phase III trial in the United States.
