EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. (NTI(R)) (NASDAQ:NTII) today announced financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2009. Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were $3.0 million compared to $3.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Research and development expenses were $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The lower research and development expenses for the 2009 quarter were primarily due to the termination of the Viprinex(TM) program for stroke following the interim analysis in December 2008. General and administrative expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company terminated the employment of approximately 75% of its workforce, and the employee termination costs are included in the operating expenses for the 2009 period. The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.19 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 were $10.1 million compared to revenues of $11.2 million for the same period of fiscal 2008. Research and development expenses were $17.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $18.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $5.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $11.0 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to a net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.76 per share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $28.8 million at March 31, 2009. The cash and total investments balance included cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $21.6 million and long-term auction-rate securities carried at an estimated value of $7.2 million and classified as long-term investments. Total liabilities, excluding deferred revenue of $14.7 million and a warrant liability of $0.2 million, were $6.4 million at March 31, 2009. "During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we wound-down most of our operations and significantly reduced expenses. We also initiated a process to identify and evaluate alternatives for the Company's future. Our board's stated mandate in looking at these strategic alternatives is to maximize the value of our cash and other assets for the benefit of all our shareholders, and to proceed expeditiously in the process," stated William Fletcher, acting Chief Executive Officer. Assuming accrued costs associated with the Viprinex program are fully paid off by June 30, 2009 as currently estimated, the Company expects to end its fiscal year with approximately $23 million in cash, short-term and long-term investments. -Tables to follow - About Neurobiological Technologies, Inc.
