DGEN Deltaagen Inc (CE)

Deltagen, Inc. (Pink Sheets: DGEN), a leading provider of drug discovery tools to the biopharmaceutical industry, today reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Revenues: The Company’s consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $0.178 million. The revenues in the second quarter were attributable primarily to license fees associated with the provision of knockout mice and related phenotypic data pursuant to orders placed by customers under the Company’s DeltaOneTM program.

Expenses: Total consolidated expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.728 million. The expenses in the second quarter were attributable primarily to labor costs and other general and administrative expenses, together with $0.047 million in royalty and commission expenses.

Net Losses: Consolidated net losses before provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.550 million.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Accounts Receivable: As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $1.296 million in consolidated cash and cash equivalents, compared to $2.353 million as of March 31, 2011, and had $0.217 million in accounts receivable. The decline in cash and cash equivalents was due to investment in the Company's Malvern, Pennsylvania facility, including expenditures for capital equipment, as well as losses for the period. The Company will require additional capital by the fourth quarter of 2011 in order to fund its operations.

Major Events During Q2 2011 and Subsequent Events:

Deltagen BioServices: In May 2011, the name of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Benten BioServices, Inc., was changed to Deltagen BioServices, Inc. ("Deltagen BioServices") in order to present a more consistent and familiar branding to our customers and investors. Deltagen BioServices completed installation of capital equipment in late January 2011 and was issued a temporary certificate of occupancy on February 7, 2011. Deltagen BioServices initiated in early March 2011 qualifications for the installed equipment. Following negotiations with the landlord of Deltagen BioServices' facility with respect to certain delays in its completion, the parties agreed to set the term commencement date of the lease as April 1, 2011 and the rent commencement date as October 1, 2011. Deltagen BioServices initiated commissioning and validation of the facility in late April 2011. Due to unanticipated facility issues necessitating repair, commercial operations have been delayed. Deltagen BioServices expects to commence commercial GMP-compliant operations in late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2011. As of August 29, 2011, Deltagen BioServices had nine full-time employees and one part-time employee.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2011, accompanying notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations for such period will be posted on Deltagen’s website (www.deltagen.com).
