PR Newswire (US)
GENEVA, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CalciTech Ltd. (OTCBB:
CLKTF) announces today it has filed it's Form 20F with the SEC
which includes audited accounts for the year ended December 31st,
2008. The Company's annual filing can be downloaded from the SEC
website: http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml Revenues decreased from
$58,000 to $NIL. Whilst the small-scale production plant in Leuna,
Germany continued to produce samples, no further sales have been
generated as these have been mainly smaller sample sizes for the
non-paper applications. The development of both projects and
products has continued during 2008. This has resulted in the
further capitalization of $ 2,432,000.compared to $2,035,000 in
2007. During 2008, the Company has continued to contain and reduce
overhead costs. General and Administrative expenditure increased
from $313,000 to $1,197,000 due to market forces as a result of the
down turn in the world economy. The majority was a currency loss of
$145,520 against a currency gain in 2007 of $370,442. Professional
and legal fees increased from $77,000 to $468,000. This increase
was mainly due to project financing efforts and due diligence
requirements related to project development. Interest charges have
increased substantially from $341,000 to $791,000. This is due to a
failure of a planned share placement during the year requiring
additional bridge facilities to year-end. Recent announcements have
been made concerning the rearrangement of the Company's debt
following which we expect interest charges to be considerably
reduced for 2009. Excellent progress has continued with our
products in the marketplace, particularly with non-paper
applications. Our further project developments have also advanced,
a number through the pre joint venture feasibility stage. However
with the changing financial circumstances, we have still to
complete the financing for our planned plant in Germany. The
Company, as previously announced, has successfully rearranged its
debt structure at December 31st, 2008. Our debenture holders,
amounting to $4.64 million, agreed to convert 50% of their holdings
into shares with a new rate of interest and conversion terms for
the balance of $2.32 million. Our use of the Epsom Asset Management
Ltd. ("Epsom") working capital facility was fully utilised during
the last quarter of 2008. Epsom has agreed to extend and increase
the facility to GBP3 million. The Company is confident that,
following the restructure, it is well placed to take advantage of
developing projects, while the marketplace will retain the same
high interest to take our specialty products. The directors of the
company take responsibility for this announcement. This press
