WaferGen Reports Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 12, 2011 -- WaferGen Biosystems, Inc. (OTCBB:WGBSE), a leading developer of state-of-the-art genomic analysis systems, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

"During the second quarter, our principle focus was to secure adequate funding to commercialize the SmartChip Real-Time PCR System. We accomplished that goal on May 27, 2011 by completing a private placement financing of $30.6 million in equity and debt with three leading institutional life science investors, Great Point Partners, LLC, Deerfield Management and Merlin Nexus, and certain members of the Board and management," said Alnoor Shivji, Chairman and CEO.

"We will put this money to work in the second half of the year to expand the commercial team and generate additional applications and content for the SmartChip System. With additional applications (genotyping) and enhancements to SmartChip panels (disposables), we can continue to enrich the transformative SmartChip System to address unmet needs in biomarker profiling validation, next-generation sequencing validation, disease research, drug development, personalized medicine and applied markets."

Revenue

Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $45,000 compared to $432,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $396,000 compared to $822,000 for the first six months of 2010. Substantially all of the revenue in the second quarter and the first six months ended June 30, 2011 was from sales of a combination of one or more of WaferGen's SmartChip Systems, SmartChip Panels (disposable gene chips) and/or SmartChip Gene Expression Profiling Services, compared with a mix of SmartChip and SmartSlide revenue in 2010. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to the absence of sales of SmartChip Real-Time PCR Systems, along with a decrease in sales of the company's Real-Time PCR Chip panels and Fee-for-Service.

Net Income/Loss

The closing of the $30.6 million financing required a number of new accounting entries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 that resulted in non-cash charges to net income totaling $13.2 million, see details below.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, net loss attributable to common stockholders is $18.6 million (of which $13.2 million is non-cash as above), or $(0.45) per share (basic and diluted), compared to a net income attributable to common stockholders of $646,000 or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the same period in 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, WaferGen reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $22.5 million (of which $13.2 million is non-cash as above), or $(0.54) per share (basic and diluted), compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.9 million, or $(0.12) per share for the same period in 2010.

Of the $13.2 million non-cash charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, $9.3 million is a one-time accretion expense related to a beneficial conversion feature arising on issuance of the Series A-1 convertible preferred stock; $2.3 million is a one-time interest expense arising from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, and $1.6 million is a non-cash expense on the revaluation of the conversion element of the convertible promissory notes, that can fluctuate in future periods based on the company's stock price.

Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was also impacted by warrant derivative revaluations. Net loss from warrant derivative revaluations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $191,000, compared to net gain of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010; and net gain of $300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net gain of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These non-cash gains and losses are attributed to revaluations of outstanding warrants and result primarily from a fluctuation in the company's stock price in the period - a decrease in company stock price results in gains and vice versa.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3.1 million in the same period of 2010. Operating expenses totaled $9.2 million for the first six months of 2011, compared to $6.0 million for the first six months of 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, research and development expenses were $2.0 million as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, research and development expenses were $4.1 million compared to $3.0 million in the first six months of 2010. The increase in research and development expenses occurred primarily from expenses associated with the development of SmartChip products and services.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $870,000, as compared to $475,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, sales and marketing expenses increased to $1.6 million compared to $725,000 in the first six months of 2010. The increase in sales and marketing expenses resulted primarily from additional staff and promotional activities associated with the commercialization and sales of SmartChip Systems and services.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses increased to $2.1 million, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 3, 2011, general and administrative expenses increased to $3.5 million compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2010. General and administrative expenses increased due to additional personnel and consulting expenses (primarily non-recurring) and costs related to fund raising activities.

Assets

WaferGen ended the second quarter of 2011 with $24.7 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $2.2 million at year end 2010. The increase in cash is due to the completion of a private placement financing of $30.6 million in equity and debt with three leading institutional life science investors and certain members of the Board and management.
