NEW YORK, Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (“Intelligent Bio Solutions” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: INBS), a life sciences company developing and delivering intelligent, non-invasive, real-time testing solutions, today announced its preliminary financial results for the first financial quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a business update. Management will host a webcast and conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET today.
“As reflected in our name change to Intelligent Bio Solutions, this last quarter represents a sea change in the growth and evolution of the Company with the highly synergistic acquisition of Intelligent Fingerprinting Limited (“IFP”) with its proprietary and already well-established technology for on-site drugs of abuse testing,” stated Harry Simeonidis as Chief Executive Officer of Intelligent Bio Solutions. “Combining the two businesses presents an exceptional opportunity to benefit from each other’s unique expertise and functional strengths. IFP brings a proven ability to commercialize and grow novel diagnostic products, which fits exceptionally well with our extensive regulatory experience. Similarly, IFP’s successful establishment of a manufacturing facility in the UK will be invaluable as we ramp up operations at our new facility in Newcastle, Australia. R&D teams are already integrating and exploring the depth and breadth of saliva- and sweat-based testing for a broad array of potential additional test substrates, including hormones, infectious diseases, oncology, and fertility among others.”

First Quarter Ended September 30, 2022, Financial Results
As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $5.74 million, compared to approximately $8.24 million on June 30, 2022.
The major components of outflows were expenditure relating to the proposed pilot manufacturing facility in Newcastle, reduction in current liabilities from June 2022, exchange rate losses from conversion of foreign currency balances to USD, and general overhead.
For the quarter ended, September 30, 2022, the Company had a preliminary net loss of $1.21 million or $0.08 per share compared to a net loss of $1.43 million or $0.10 per share for same period the prior year. This decrease in loss is primarily due to more government support income recognised on the current period compared to same period the prior year.
Government support income was $0.31 million compared to $0.00 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively. This is the result of increased qualifying expenditure incurred in setting up of the pilot manufacturing facility.
The Company is of the view that based on the current operating plan and financial resources, its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2022, will be sufficient to cover expenses and capital requirements into the first half of calendar year 2023. This cash runway forecast does not incorporate revenue from planned new markets for the IFP product, nor the potential exercise of the glucose North American license option agreement.
