\nApplied DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: APDN) (\u201cApplied DNA\u201d or the “Company”), a leader in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based DNA manufacturing, today announced consolidated financial results for the full fiscal year and quarter ended September 30, 2020.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOur activities in fiscal 2020 were principally devoted to the establishment of our diagnostic and surveillance testing programs for COVID-19 and to further positioning our proprietary LinearDNA\u2122 manufacturing platform as what we believe to be a cleaner and higher-performing alternative to traditional vaccine development technologies in an environment moving at pandemic speeds to bring efficacious COVID-19 vaccines to market,\u201d said Dr. James A. Hayward, president and CEO, Applied DNA. \u201cWith the shutdown in global supply chains severely affecting the performance of our supply chain security business, we redirected resources to our Biotherapeutics and Diagnostics markets: we initiated our own human and veterinary linear DNA COVID-19 vaccine development programs with partner Takis Biotech\/EvviVax. While having clear public health goals, these programs also serve to validate our linear DNA manufacturing platform and its manufacturing advantages over plasmid DNA production that underpins current vaccine manufacturing technology; having acquired virus expertise as a result of our vaccine development work, we launched our Linea\u2122COVID-19 Assay Kit (the \u201cCOVID-19 test\u201d) and related testing services as part of a multi-pronged approach to the pandemic to establish new revenue streams.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe result of these efforts was the development of a highly sensitive, highly specific, EUA-authorized diagnostic test that, when paired with safeCircle\u2122, our pooled surveillance testing platform, is in the marketplace today as a cost-effective, and convenient means to help break the chain of virus transmission. We ended the fiscal year having secured our first customer of size for our kit, established an initial base of recurring revenue for our safeCircle platform, and initiated a clinical path for our lead veterinary vaccine candidate with an end goal of enabling commercial veterinary sales for domestic felines.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nContinued Dr. Hayward, \u201cOur development efforts in fiscal 2020 have laid the groundwork for multiple inflection points in fiscal 2021. The sales pipelines for our COVID-19 test and safeCircle offerings are building. In particular, safeCircle is experiencing resonance in the marketplace that, together with a recently established \u2018return-to-work\u2019 partnership, enables us to target market niches we believe we can exploit profitably, such as local governments, private and enterprise clients, schools, and higher education athletics departments. We anticipate both offerings to scale up their contributions to our top-line over the coming quarters.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOur own human linear DNA COVID-19 vaccine development program has not progressed as anticipated; however, the preclinical work we have conducted to date serves as the basis for a veterinary COVID-19 vaccine candidate that we believe offers a shorter and less costly regulatory path to commercialization. Domestic cats are a known virus reservoir and can easily transmit the virus to other felines. If all trial endpoints are met, we will apply for conditional licensure from the U.S.D.A., which we project to be in the latter half of the fiscal year. With about 58 million1<\/sup> domestic cats in the U.S. and a likely first-mover advantage, we believe that a veterinary vaccine could be commercially significant to us if approved. We would then seek to expand the addressable market for our veterinary vaccine to include the farmed mink industry globally that has been ravaged by the virus, resulting in substantial commercial losses.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cAs human COVID-19 vaccines obtain regulatory approval, we believe they evidence shortcomings in their manufacture and distribution that we believe are solvable by linear DNA forms of their vaccines. We believe our LinearDNA platform can produce PCR-based linear DNA at large scale enzymatically and likely with an improved safety profile, modify vaccines reliant on plasmids to address mutations in weeks, not months or years, and offer stability in distribution that potentially eliminates the need for expensive cold-chain requirements. This value proposition can benefit not only COVID-19 vaccines but also every nucleic acid-based program under development today. Concurrently, we see an uptick in contract research activity for biotherapeutic applications that we take to reflect the increasing value being placed on linear DNA by drug developers. Today, we are proud to count leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies working in the field of nucleic acid-based medicine as contract research customers. As manufacturing and distribution increasingly become key issues in advancing nucleic-acid-based therapeutic development pipelines, we expect that our LinearDNA platform will become increasingly relevant to existing and prospective customers.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cFinally, we await the return of increased demand patterns in our supply chain security market. The need for brand assurance and supply chain integrity remains as evidenced by our new supply agreement for our CertainT\u00ae platform with Pillar Technologies as it relates to the authenticity of personal protective equipment being consumed by our front-line healthcare workers, and by Nutrition21 who has transitioned its portfolio of IP-protected ingredients to CertainT. We remain cautiously optimistic on the prospects in this business in the new fiscal year,\u201d concluded Dr. Hayward.\n<\/p>\n Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results:<\/b><\/p>\n Full Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Results:<\/b><\/p>\n Select Recent Operational Highlights:<\/b><\/p>\n COVID-19<\/b><\/p>\n Linea\u2122COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 Diagnostic Assay Kit (\u201cassay kit\u201d)<\/i><\/p>\n Applied DNA Clinical Labs, LLC (ADCL)<\/i><\/p>\n Vaccine Candidates<\/i><\/p>\n The trial allows for immunologic data to be gathered across the clinical trial cohort that may also support the initiation of a near-concurrent challenge trial, which is under development. Achievement of both trials\u2019 primary endpoints we believe would enable the Company and EvviVax to apply for a USDA APHIS conditional license (9 CFR 102.6) for a LinearDNA COVID-19 vaccine candidate for domestic felines.<\/p>\n The Company believes that an efficacious vaccine for domestic felines would be similarly efficacious to mink, another known COVID-19 reservoir. SARS-CoV-2 has severely impacted the farmed mink industry and mink-linked virus mutations now present in humans in at least 7 countries. Applied DNA believes that should its veterinary COVID-19 vaccine candidate gain conditional licensure for the vaccine candidate, it could have significant utility in mitigating the spread of the virus in commercial animal populations and from animal populations to humans.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n LineaRx<\/b><\/p>\n Supply Chain Security<\/b><\/p>\n Corporate<\/b><\/p>\n \nFootnote: Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2020 Conference Call Information<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe Company will hold a conference call and webcast to discuss its fiscal fourth quarter-end 2020 results on Thursday, December 17, 2020 at 4:30 PM ET.
