- Novadaq
- PLC Systems                    • Fallen angels and broken deals. A once exciting investment experienced a setback and
                                   investors lost interest (missteps with the FDA, failed trials, etc.). New management trying again.
- Vasomedical

           Market Growth | Important service component to large global market: The clinical trial business has generally
           lagged in terms of technology and integration of information management. Many of the business processes are
           still manual, and the automated ones tend to be in silos or integrated. The company appears to have a superior
           approach a “unified” software that they believe can provide 8-12% reduction in clinical trial cost and accelerate
           the speed at which new drugs and devices can reach the market.

           Furthermore unlike any of its competitors, DATA offers a clinical trials services’ platform to its clients. The services
           platform provides the consultative side of the clinical trials management business, whereby senior DATA consul-
           tants can help a client company with trial design, trial protocols, statistical analysis and data crunching. This is a
           solid add-on product which creates a source of recurring revenues from clients to whom DATA has already sold
           software.

           The renewal of 5-year, multi-million dollar extension to its existing NTT DATA Enterprise Agreement provide some
           indication of the robustness and sustainability of this unified software and services offering.

           Intellectual Property: DATA products operate under the protection of a host of patents covering the (i) methods
           and systems for collection, validation, and reporting of clinical data and (ii) methods of electronic data con-
           solidation. The company has filed lawsuit against a competitor, Medidata [MDSO]-a firm that was one of the
           few to get public in 2009. If successful, the current litigation could have significant ramifications for very large
           companies in clinical trial business such as Oracle.

           Valuation: In the past, growth has been hampered by lack of capital. However the NTT DATA Enterprise Agree-
           ment infused over $2MM of capital in a non-dilutive fashion. This indicates that DATA is keen to fuel its growth
           by pumping product revenues into R&D rather than tapping the equity markets at unfavorable terms.

           The stock is thinly traded and could be a takeover candidate. It seems the company is valued at a level very
           low to comparables at about 1.8 EPS. Assuming it can continue its progress it should be able to attain the $2.00
           price target suggested by Zacks Research.

           Catalysts: Quarterly earnings with increasing backlogs revenues (revenues yet to be recognized) will increase
           investor confidence in this turnaround story.

           US clinical trial: PLC announced on 10/14/11 that it had received FDA “go-ahead” to start the pivotal (Phase
           III) clinical trial towards the PMA device approval of RenalGuard. This a multicenter (30 centers), random-
           ized, open-label trial of half-day RenalGuard therapy versus standard overnight hydration in patients with
           high eGFR at risk for CIN after cardiac or perivascular catheterizations. The primary endpoint of this study is
           incidence of CIN measured thru a 25% relative or 0.5 mg/dl absolute rise in baseline eGFR within 4 days of
           contrast-requiring interventions. The measurement of eGFR will be performed in a blinded manner. The power-
           ing of the trial is a conservative 10% points absolute difference in the incidence of CIN (in-line with results from
           REMEDIAL II). The trial is stacked for success because it has an adaptive design allowing the DSMB to change
           patient enrollment from 326 to up to 652 patients based on outcomes from the first 163 patients.

           Patents and competition: PLC management indicates a circumscribed patent estate around the method of use
           and device of RenalGuard in the US (USPTO 7837667B2), in Canada and Japan; EU patents are pending.
           These we feel are the strongest, easier to defend, patents and last thru 2026-2028. PLC also has concept
           patents around creating and maintaining equilibrium state urine flow to eliminate iodine--in general we find
           concept patients harder to litigate around in case of a patent challenge.

           The only known RenalGuard competition is AngioDynamics (private) who own a CE Marked and 510(k) ap-
           proved device for direct delivery of drugs and fluids to the renal arteries. This method is fraught with com-
           plications of direct renal delivery and massive physician training effort to imbibe a significantly different
           methodology to their “bread-and-butter” business of catheterizations.

           Catalysts:

           1. Quarter by quarter ramp of EU/RoW sales. With Italy, France and Germany on board, we urge manage-
           ment to start providing sales guidance in 2012-which will increase their visibility and trading volume.

           2. DSMB look at the first 163 patients of the Phase III trial (late 2012). A DSMB “go-ahead” implies the com-
           pany’s statistical assumption are accurate and increases probability of a successful trial at the end

           3. Phase III clinical trial results in two years (late 2013-early 2014).

           Technology: The EECP® technology (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) could have a significant impact on the
           cardiovascular market. This therapy which has been on the market for over 15 years has recently gained mo-
           mentum from continuing evidence, published papers and key opinion leaders. It provides an alternative to more
           expensive surgical procedures to treat ischemic cardiovascular diseases. The technology also shows promise for a
           growing wellness market. EECP® improves endothelial function and has demonstrated positive clinical results in a
           broad range of health applications including erectile dysfunction, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. EECP®
           may also have applications as a rehabilitation and training device used by prominent athletes. The average cost
           of EECP® therapy nationally is approximately $5,355 per course of therapy, as opposed to the significant cost
           of bypass surgery and stenting. Its long term effects have been documented in published studies and in congestive
           heart failure patients to significantly reduce the number of emergency room visits and re-hospitalizations for heart
           failure, a large component of healthcare spending.

           Reimbursement for broader use has been a challenge, generally, for this therapy, but increased scientific documen-
           tation is gaining converts among key opinion leaders who now recognize the value of this treatment modality for
           a broader range of patients. Currently the national average reimbursement for EECP® is at $153.00 per session.
           Standard treatment is 35 sessions over 7 weeks. VASO has implemented a new initiative to expand reimbursement
           coverage for EECP® therapy.

           Revenue Recognition: The company’s most recent earnings report in our view understates revenue significantly
           because of FASB’s rules for revenue recognition. Systems that have been sold by GE Healthcare and for which rev-
           enue has been received cannot be recognized and is considered deferred revenue until GE Healthcare completes
           the installation. Currently, the company has reported over $12MM in deferred revenue.

           Valuation: The stock was trading for as little as $.03 in 2009. It is now at $.30. The company has a solid cash
           position reported ($6.3MM at the end of First Quarter, August 31, 2011) and is listed on the Pink Sheets with little
           trading in stock. The company is now beginning to expand outreach to the investment community.

Philip Rubinfield           WNDM began sales of CellerateRx since 2004; however evidence based studies became available only in
Gilbert Valdez              late 2009, which led to true launch and commercialization and not mere ad-hoc sales of CellerateRx. WNDM
                            has a three-pronged sales approach including (i) direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales thru radio/TV/internet (ii)

information:                WNDM has been ramping up retail sales actively and we believe they are about to sign key government con-

research
           EU Progress: For a period of over a year, WNDM has been negotiating with the EMEA towards a CE-Mark
           approval to sell CellerateRx in EU. We are told by WNDM, that EMEA asked to several post-hoc and “extra
           analyses” of CellerateRx clinical data. WNDM believes that they have provided all the requisite information,
           manufacturing site audits are in-progress and should be receiving CE-Mark before mid-2012.

           Upon CE-Mark for CellerateRx, WNDM will then engage country specific distributors to sell CellerateRx both
           thru the retail and medical channels. In fact WNDM’s 18-month goalposts include establishing contracts with
           at least two EU based distributors for CellerateRx. WNDM already has a large distributor in place in Italy
           (BioCure Milan), who should be able to start selling product in 2012.

           However, history has proven that US based biotech companies have had a hard time initially contracting with
           distributors in the EU and gaining meaningful sales quickly. This is because of the very diverse healthcare and
           reimbursement systems in different EU nations and the fragmented nature of the medical marketplace. This is
           why the analysis of WNDM stock should be based purely for US sales, treating EU revenues as a icing or a
           “free call option”.

           Patents and Competition: WNDM sells CellerateRx under patents exclusively licensed from Applied Nutrition-
           als (the owner of the CellerateRx brand). The patent is a chemical structure patent on 1/100 size monomeric
           subunit of collagen; this patent is good thru 2018 (with some interesting patent extension strategies). While
           patents obtained on naturally occurring proteins like collagen are hard to defend if challenged in court, and
           we are still analyzing this patent in detail, it is our contention that the subunit being patented is so small that it
           not naturally occurring.

           CellerateRx competes in the vast wound-care market; its competitors include bandages, wound healing creams
           and lotions (being chemical and herbal) and wound closing devices. Competitors include industry giants like
           KCI, Smith and Nephew and Johnson’s and Johnson’s, Systagenix and WNDM has a significant marketing
           disadvantage over its competitors; however the key point to remember is the size of the marketplace and all
           CellerateRx needs is to carve out 1-5% for itself based on its high bioavailability, ease of use, faster rate of
           wound closure and reimbursement under Medicare Part B. Additionally, we feel that CellerateRx’s differenti-
           ated clinical profile, allows WNDM to be an interesting M&A play in this market dominated by “wealthy”
           pharma companies.

           Addressing Balance Sheet Concerns: WNDM believes that at their current/early stage of product sales, they
           do not have the luxury of idling cash reserves to improve balance sheet optics but rather pump back current
           product revenues to fund ongoing development. WNDM is also working to free up shares from current internal
           holders to improve their float.

           Catalysts:
           1. Quarterly US sales. WNDM management is expected to start giving sales guidance in 2012 bringing
              added visibility to, and trading opportunity in its common stock.
           2. Bone wax out-licensing deal: 4Q11
           3. Some key contracts to put CellerateRx on the formulary at large US nursing home/assisted living
              chains- YE11
           4. Major governmental contract for CellerateRx shipment to US military: 4Q11
           5. CE-Mark approval: mid-2012
           6. WNDM profitable and cash flow positive: YE2012

OneMedPlace November Research Report

  • 1. Report 1 November 2011 Research Coverage Report research Dear Institutional Investor, Companies profiled in this Dramatic changes in the financial markets have largely eliminated sell side research coverage for all issue: but the largest and most actively traded stocks. This leaves some of the most promising equity invest- ment opportunities inaccessible to most investors. Enter OMP Research. We concentrate on companies we think can experience a dramatic increase in valuation if one or - DATATRAK more expected events occur followed by heightened investor awareness. Common situations: - Novadaq - PLC Systems • Fallen angels and broken deals. A once exciting investment experienced a setback and investors lost interest (missteps with the FDA, failed trials, etc.). New management trying again. - Vasomedical - Wound Management • Hidden management. Science driven companies creating something powerful but internally focused now recognizing need to get the story told. • New innovations. Developments that may be disruptive and capable of big things if given the right exposure and connections. We find these companies from referrals from an expansive network of analysts, investment bankers, venture investors, business development executives, and entrepreneurs built over 6 years running the OneMedForum investment conferences. We also apply scientific analysis of firms in the news to iden- tify those with the most promising science addressing large and unmet clinical needs. Our objective is to deliver consistent, standardized, quality communications about these firms using the OneMedPlace media infrastructure: OneMedTV, OneMedRadio, Global Database, Sentinel, and Conferences. If you know of exceptional companies, please let us know. Brett Johnson Executive Editor bjohnson@onemedplace.com Companies Profiled In This Issue: DATATRAK [DATA.PK] offers an advanced software product for the Clinical Trials business which can reduce cost by 8-12% by unified integration of data. New management has turned huge losses into operating profits. Novadaq Technologies [NDQ.TO] is developing what may become a standard of care in surgery. In plastic surgery, use of their real time imaging technology has reduced the need for resurgeries from15% to near zero. PLC Medical Systems [PLCSF.OB] is developing an automated device that measures urine output and replenishes the same amount of fluid intravenously, before, during and after catheterization and radiological interventions in patients with CIN. Vasomedical [VASO.PK] non-invasive treatment for ischemic heart disease is gaining reimbursement for broadened use. New management team adding new products line and expanding the distribution of the technology which should continue to gain converts due to economic and therapeutic benefits. Wound Care Management [WNDM.PK] is commercializing its wound accelleration technology and experiencing rapid sales growth. The technology which uses a collagen concentrate can dramatically reduce cost of care both by lower treatment expense and faster healing. ABOUT: The companies receiving OMP Research coverage are typically firms identified by our scientific research team as having exceptional science or technology directed towards a large or unmet need. We also may include companies that we feel offer unique opportunities appropriate to high net worth and sophisticated investors. We do not provide buy or sell recommendations nor do we offer price targets. We solely communicate company progress. We are compensated with a standard fee to underwrite the media cost.

  • 2. DATATRAK [DATA.PK] research Cashing in on the electronic age of the global clinical trials business Rationale to follow: DATA is a clinical trials software and services company selling products to pharma-, biotech-, and medtech-companies and to CROs (clinical research organizations). The clinical trials and FDA approvals industry has historically been a “pen-and-paper” business, plagued by inconsistencies in data DATATRAK capture across different clinical trial sites, personnel and different countries. Drug and device companies Mayfield Heights, OH have been stalled by the FDA and EMEA for such errors and approvals have been immensely delayed in the Electronic Data Capture process.

Such automation will revolutionize the clinical trial industry. The sponsor (drug/device companies) will want to incorporate such innovation in their trials to speed up approval, the investors will want to pay for it, and the FDA will seek that all filings be electronic. Though small right now, DATA is hence at a unique position to reap Pictured: DATATRAK ONETM unified software suite the fruits of this brand new electronic age.

  • 3. DATATRAK [DATA.PK] research Market Growth | Important service component to large global market: The clinical trial business has generally lagged in terms of technology and integration of information management. Many of the business processes are still manual, and the automated ones tend to be in silos or integrated. The company appears to have a superior approach a “unified” software that they believe can provide 8-12% reduction in clinical trial cost and accelerate the speed at which new drugs and devices can reach the market. Furthermore unlike any of its competitors, DATA offers a clinical trials services’ platform to its clients. The services platform provides the consultative side of the clinical trials management business, whereby senior DATA consul- tants can help a client company with trial design, trial protocols, statistical analysis and data crunching. This is a solid add-on product which creates a source of recurring revenues from clients to whom DATA has already sold software. The renewal of 5-year, multi-million dollar extension to its existing NTT DATA Enterprise Agreement provide some indication of the robustness and sustainability of this unified software and services offering. Intellectual Property: DATA products operate under the protection of a host of patents covering the (i) methods and systems for collection, validation, and reporting of clinical data and (ii) methods of electronic data con- solidation. The company has filed lawsuit against a competitor, Medidata [MDSO]-a firm that was one of the few to get public in 2009. If successful, the current litigation could have significant ramifications for very large companies in clinical trial business such as Oracle. Valuation: In the past, growth has been hampered by lack of capital. However the NTT DATA Enterprise Agree- ment infused over $2MM of capital in a non-dilutive fashion. This indicates that DATA is keen to fuel its growth by pumping product revenues into R&D rather than tapping the equity markets at unfavorable terms. The stock is thinly traded and could be a takeover candidate. It seems the company is valued at a level very low to comparables at about 1.8 EPS. Assuming it can continue its progress it should be able to attain the $2.00 price target suggested by Zacks Research. Catalysts: Quarterly earnings with increasing backlogs revenues (revenues yet to be recognized) will increase investor confidence in this turnaround story.

  • 4. Novadaq [NDQ.TO] research Improving surgical outcomes reduces cost to hospitals Rationale to follow: NDQ is a medtech company selling real-time, intra-operative imaging/visualization systems to hospitals. A very promising company in the small-cap medtech sector, Novadaq’s imaging systems Novadaq Technologies are a value proposition to interventionists and surgeons who perform endoscopic surgeries or coronary Mississauga, Canada artery bypass grafts (CABG) and percutaneous stenting or plastic and reconstructive surgery. By outlining the entire circulatory network of blood vessels in a real-time and in a dynamic state, Novadaq’s imaging Flourescence Imaging technology is an improvement upon static images of just the injured or occluded site.

  • 6. PLC Medical [PLCSF.OB] research A judicious business plan uses revenues in EU to fund phase III development in the US Rationale to follow: This is a very small nanocap company with important niche technology that fits an exact spot in the treatment continuum. Marketcap does not reflect current EU sales or potential US sales in 2014- 2015. While the story is new, and unheard of, the trajectory of development seems appropriate, the actual product seems perfectly suited for the cath labs, and the management team seems credible. Balance sheet needs work. PLC Medical Systems Background & technology platform: PLC Medical’s (PLCSF.OB) primary marketed (ex-US) product, Renal- Milford, MA Guard, is an automated device that measures urine output and replenishes the same amount of fluid intra- venously, before, during and after catheterization and radiological interventions in patients with pre-existing PLCSF.OB renal insufficiency. The standard of care in cardiac or radiological procedures is to perform image-guided 52 wk: $0.06 - 0.24 interventions for which interventionists need to use an iodine-based contrast agent (dye) to delineate internal October 31: $0.16 organs. Iodine is known to be somewhat nephrotoxic to all patients, however this problem is magnified in pa- Mkt Cap: $4.89M tients with pre-existing renal insufficiency (easily identifiable by testing for serum creatinine (“eGFR” testing)). In such patients the dye begins to concentrate and turn viscous in the collecting ducts of the kidney. This results Cash(2Q11): $4M in localized segments of high tubular pressure and reduces the passage and filtration of toxins downstream Debt: $4M of the obstruction. This phenomenon is called Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN), which has been shown to Shares: 30MM increase mortality post-interventions from 6% to 31%1 and increased incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and dialysis.2 Founded: 1990 Employees: 8 PLC’s RenalGuard is a mobile IV and urine collection unit that a patient is hooked up to in the hours prior to procedure and stays on for a period of roughly six hours, through and after the intervention. Such a patient would be asked to stay hydrated, prior to and after the procedure; this had poor compliance. RenalGuard automates the process- patient gets a diuretic to increase his urination, the device measures that increased Mark Tauscher, volume of urine output and replenishes lost volume of fluid IV instantly. Over several hours, the RenalGuard President since 2000. allows the majority of iodine to be eliminated reducing the probability of CIN. Edward H. Pendergast Chairman of the Board Key Points: Directors Market size and entry: In the US alone, 4 million procedures (cardiac catheterization and radiology) are Kevin J. Dunn performed each year where contrast agents are used.3 Twenty percent (20%) of these 4M patients are well Benjamin L. Holmes documented to have pre-existing renal insufficiency, at risk for CIN3 and are target population for Renal- Brent Norton, M.D. Guard. Additionally a comparable number of interventions are performed in EU. Numbers from the rest of the world (ROW) are not as readily available but probably comparable. Conservatively, at least 2M people worldwide are at risk for CIN. Our quick US-based channel checks reveal that while all cardiologist/radiologist/oncologist/nephrologists are aware of CIN but the absence of a clear method/drug/device to reduce CIN burden, causes there to be somewhat of an “apathy”to/lack of clarity on treating it. Probably the same is true for EU/ROW where For more RenalGuard is currently sold under a CE mark (Dec 2007), through a network of distributor. information: In conversation with, PLC CEO, Mark Tauscher, we glean that initially sales ramps will be slow, as Renalguard OneMedRadio contracts have to set up department-by-department and hospital-by-hospital. We expect an average conver- Interview sion time of 6-months/hospital. However, once these contracts are in place, RenalGuard use will be seamless. OneMedDatabase The interventionists will simply need to prescribe it, the nurses will hook it up to the patient in the pre-op area Profile and unhook after 6-8 hours of use. Ideally there will be as many RenalGuard consoles as there are beds in the pre-op area (an average US pre-op area has ~10 beds/department), and disposable urine collection and IV kits will be changed after each patient. Hence while the ramp will be slow, the marketplace is significant. EU/Ex-US marketplace: Comparable to an FDA approval, RenalGuard received a CE mark in late 2007, however it took two years to get initial distribution agreements to be put in place. Also the absence to a peer-reviewed publication of RenalGuard delayed initial ramp and uptake. This situation was rectified in NOTE: This summary is 2010 when the results of the REMEDIAL II clinical trial became available.4 Italian interventionists were the based on information provided frontrunners of the RenalGuard clinical development (REMEDIAL II clinical trial) and sales in this pioneer country by the company and other have been steadily increasing from 1Q11 to 2Q11.

PLC management suggests 30-40 San Francisco. new interventionists have adopted RenalGuard since its Italian launch, and that the Italian market is penetrated “significantly less than 5%” at this time. This suggests significant upcoming revenue growth from Italy alone.
  • 7. PLC Medical [PLCSF.OB] research US clinical trial: PLC announced on 10/14/11 that it had received FDA “go-ahead” to start the pivotal (Phase III) clinical trial towards the PMA device approval of RenalGuard. This a multicenter (30 centers), random- ized, open-label trial of half-day RenalGuard therapy versus standard overnight hydration in patients with high eGFR at risk for CIN after cardiac or perivascular catheterizations. The primary endpoint of this study is incidence of CIN measured thru a 25% relative or 0.5 mg/dl absolute rise in baseline eGFR within 4 days of contrast-requiring interventions. The measurement of eGFR will be performed in a blinded manner. The power- ing of the trial is a conservative 10% points absolute difference in the incidence of CIN (in-line with results from REMEDIAL II). The trial is stacked for success because it has an adaptive design allowing the DSMB to change patient enrollment from 326 to up to 652 patients based on outcomes from the first 163 patients. Patents and competition: PLC management indicates a circumscribed patent estate around the method of use and device of RenalGuard in the US (USPTO 7837667B2), in Canada and Japan; EU patents are pending. These we feel are the strongest, easier to defend, patents and last thru 2026-2028. PLC also has concept patents around creating and maintaining equilibrium state urine flow to eliminate iodine--in general we find concept patients harder to litigate around in case of a patent challenge. The only known RenalGuard competition is AngioDynamics (private) who own a CE Marked and 510(k) ap- proved device for direct delivery of drugs and fluids to the renal arteries. This method is fraught with com- plications of direct renal delivery and massive physician training effort to imbibe a significantly different methodology to their “bread-and-butter” business of catheterizations. Catalysts: 1. Quarter by quarter ramp of EU/RoW sales.

Vasomedical [VASO.PK] research Stepping into the wellness market and finding ways to generate regular income stream Rationale to follow: VASO’s organic story is one of using a time tested but underutilized technology of en- hanced external counterpulsation (EECP®) which uses timed, inflatable leg cuffs to increase blood flow in the heart’s coronary vessels decreasing tissue ischemia (oxygen-deprived state) in patients suffering from the Vasomedical Westbury, NY symptoms of angina and congestive heart failure. This technology is neither a drug, nor a surgery for cardiac patients.

Medicare and private insurers provide coverage for cardiac patients who are not readily amenable to invasive procedures such as surgery or stenting. Based on their knowledge of the scientific evidence and VASO.PK experience, some providers of EECP® therapy have already begun to use this safe and effective therapy to 52 wk: $0.17 - 0.75 treat patients with other vascular diseases such as cerebral vascular disease (stroke and dementia), peripheral Oct 31: $.29 vascular disease, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, and renal disease.

  • 9. Vasomedical [VASO.PK] research Technology: The EECP® technology (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) could have a significant impact on the cardiovascular market. This therapy which has been on the market for over 15 years has recently gained mo- mentum from continuing evidence, published papers and key opinion leaders. It provides an alternative to more expensive surgical procedures to treat ischemic cardiovascular diseases. The technology also shows promise for a growing wellness market. EECP® improves endothelial function and has demonstrated positive clinical results in a broad range of health applications including erectile dysfunction, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. EECP® may also have applications as a rehabilitation and training device used by prominent athletes. The average cost of EECP® therapy nationally is approximately $5,355 per course of therapy, as opposed to the significant cost of bypass surgery and stenting. Its long term effects have been documented in published studies and in congestive heart failure patients to significantly reduce the number of emergency room visits and re-hospitalizations for heart failure, a large component of healthcare spending. Reimbursement for broader use has been a challenge, generally, for this therapy, but increased scientific documen- tation is gaining converts among key opinion leaders who now recognize the value of this treatment modality for a broader range of patients. Currently the national average reimbursement for EECP® is at $153.00 per session. Standard treatment is 35 sessions over 7 weeks. VASO has implemented a new initiative to expand reimbursement coverage for EECP® therapy. Revenue Recognition: The company’s most recent earnings report in our view understates revenue significantly because of FASB’s rules for revenue recognition. Systems that have been sold by GE Healthcare and for which rev- enue has been received cannot be recognized and is considered deferred revenue until GE Healthcare completes the installation. Currently, the company has reported over $12MM in deferred revenue. Valuation: The stock was trading for as little as $.03 in 2009. It is now at $.30. The company has a solid cash position reported ($6.3MM at the end of First Quarter, August 31, 2011) and is listed on the Pink Sheets with little trading in stock. The company is now beginning to expand outreach to the investment community.

  • 10. Wound Management [WNDM.PK] research A unheard story of mismatched marketcap and product sales Rationale to follow: This is a simple story of a FDA approved product entering into a fiercely competitive marketplace of wound healing. The product, CellerateRx, is a marked improvement on the standard collagen creme. You buy this stock because even if CellerateRx captures only 1-2% of the $5B sized US wound-care Wound Management “dressing” market, we have a “high-class” situation. Initiation of EU sales will take few years and can be Fort Worth, TX treated as a “call option.” Furthermore, WNDM is also an interesting “M&A play” as major US wound-care companies understand that the efficacy of their own wound-care products/devices are augmented when pa- Advanced Wound Care tients use CellerateRx in conjunction.

University Key Points: Scott Haire US market size and entry: The US advanced wound-care “dressing” market is thought to be $5B currently, Chief Executive Officer growing to $6B by 2013 (BCC research). This includes all wound issues from complex wound closure problems in patients with burns or diabetes, to cuts and scrapes in children. The high bioavailability of CellerateRx Directors (30%) versus other “polymeric”collagen products (5-10%) and the fact that it can be both smeared on a Araldo Cossutta wound as a powder (95% collagen) or layered as a gel (65% collagen) make CellerateRx an ideal choice. Steven Evans The drug is available over-the-counter (OTC) and is covered under Medicare Part B, the latter is a key selling Robert Gross point versus other competitors. Thomas Kirchhofer Philip Rubinfield WNDM began sales of CellerateRx since 2004; however evidence based studies became available only in Gilbert Valdez late 2009, which led to true launch and commercialization and not mere ad-hoc sales of CellerateRx. WNDM has a three-pronged sales approach including (i) direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales thru radio/TV/internet (ii) For more thru doctors’ prescription and hospital formularies and (iii) thru government channels to US troops worldwide. information: WNDM has been ramping up retail sales actively and we believe they are about to sign key government con- tracts in 4Q11. However, sales in the medical channel thru prescriptions and presence on hospital/assisted liv- OneMedRadio ing formularies has been harder as WNDM does not have a large sales force selling the product or formulary Interview teams.

  • 11. Wound Management [WNDM.PK] research EU Progress: For a period of over a year, WNDM has been negotiating with the EMEA towards a CE-Mark approval to sell CellerateRx in EU. We are told by WNDM, that EMEA asked to several post-hoc and “extra analyses” of CellerateRx clinical data. WNDM believes that they have provided all the requisite information, manufacturing site audits are in-progress and should be receiving CE-Mark before mid-2012. Upon CE-Mark for CellerateRx, WNDM will then engage country specific distributors to sell CellerateRx both thru the retail and medical channels. In fact WNDM’s 18-month goalposts include establishing contracts with at least two EU based distributors for CellerateRx. WNDM already has a large distributor in place in Italy (BioCure Milan), who should be able to start selling product in 2012. However, history has proven that US based biotech companies have had a hard time initially contracting with distributors in the EU and gaining meaningful sales quickly. This is because of the very diverse healthcare and reimbursement systems in different EU nations and the fragmented nature of the medical marketplace. This is why the analysis of WNDM stock should be based purely for US sales, treating EU revenues as a icing or a “free call option”. Patents and Competition: WNDM sells CellerateRx under patents exclusively licensed from Applied Nutrition- als (the owner of the CellerateRx brand). The patent is a chemical structure patent on 1/100 size monomeric subunit of collagen; this patent is good thru 2018 (with some interesting patent extension strategies). While patents obtained on naturally occurring proteins like collagen are hard to defend if challenged in court, and we are still analyzing this patent in detail, it is our contention that the subunit being patented is so small that it not naturally occurring. CellerateRx competes in the vast wound-care market; its competitors include bandages, wound healing creams and lotions (being chemical and herbal) and wound closing devices. Competitors include industry giants like KCI, Smith and Nephew and Johnson’s and Johnson’s, Systagenix and WNDM has a significant marketing disadvantage over its competitors; however the key point to remember is the size of the marketplace and all CellerateRx needs is to carve out 1-5% for itself based on its high bioavailability, ease of use, faster rate of wound closure and reimbursement under Medicare Part B. Additionally, we feel that CellerateRx’s differenti- ated clinical profile, allows WNDM to be an interesting M&A play in this market dominated by “wealthy” pharma companies. Addressing Balance Sheet Concerns: WNDM believes that at their current/early stage of product sales, they do not have the luxury of idling cash reserves to improve balance sheet optics but rather pump back current product revenues to fund ongoing development. WNDM is also working to free up shares from current internal holders to improve their float. Catalysts: 1. Quarterly US sales. WNDM management is expected to start giving sales guidance in 2012 bringing added visibility to, and trading opportunity in its common stock. 2. Bone wax out-licensing deal: 4Q11 3.
