BLIS TECHNOLOGIES: Raises NZ$1.36 Million From Rights Issue
BLIS Technologies Ltd disclosed on Friday that it had raised NZ$1.36 million from its recently conducted rights issue. The company is also in discussion with interested parties to take up further shares.
The CEO, Dr. Barry Richardson, said that Blis was pleased with the outcome of the rights issue and given the interest from other parties BLIS expects to issue more shares over the coming weeks. Dr. Richardson also indicated that discussions with current and potential commercial partners are ongoing with a view to further strengthening strategic partnerships in the market.
BLIS Technologies plans on using the funds raised through the rights issue to consolidate and further expand its product range, improve its facilities and further pursue the commercialization of its products in selected international markets.
BLIS Technologies Limited (NZX: BLT) became listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange in July 2001 and was formed to commercialise BLIS (bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances), hence the company's name, BLIS Technologies Ltd. The company has acquired the rights to the collection of an extensive range of BLIS producing organisms and is developing new products for use in the control of undesirable bacterial infections, which includes dental caries control, the prevention and treatment of ear and throat infections, and skin infections.
BLIS recorded a net loss of NZ$1,107,851 for the year ended March 31, 2006, and NZ$1,336,319 for 2005. For the full year to March 31, 2007, the company reported a NZ$964,000 loss.
