Quarterly out.
Revenue: $132K
Net loss: $10.4M
YTD Loss: $41.3M
This is the period of "hyper growth".
LOL. Kennas!
The contract is about to be signed. To sign the contract there are lots of processes. I believe they are currently at the stage where the special ink to be used for the signing is being extracted from an unnamed exotic plant cutivated by a group of secretive monks living in the Swiss alps.
If you are that impatient, I won't tell you that the ink is not even the critical path. The paper which the signed contract will be printed on is made from a special tree that takes 50 years to mature. They planted the seed immediately after the essential terms are agreed upon. But hey these things take time, OK?!
This was supposed to be for "manufacturing scale-up to support commercialization and expansion activities."Most recently, market misperceptions over an at-the-market (ATM) agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald last week for the potential sale of up to $45M in common stock over time at the sole discretion of the Company have driven shares to near all-time lows since listing on NASDAQ in 2010. Shortly after the ATM agreement, $UNIS announced an expansion of the Company’s commercial development team including the appointment of four senior executives (details undisclosed at this time) from the drug delivery device industry.
$UNIS also announced it has no near-term plans to sell stock through the ATM facility (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/unilife-expands-commercial-development-team-120000054.html) and has not yet sold any stock in the deal, which was misperceived by some as having already occurred. In addition, the ATM facility provides the Company with leverage in partnership discussions as it provides access to capital on flexible terms that could be utilized for manufacturing scale-up to support commercialization and expansion activities.

Thank you, Todd. Good afternoon and good morning to those in Australia. Before we discuss the quarter, I’m excited to tell you that we are getting ready to announce our first major long-term supply contract for the Unifill syringe. This is a significant multiyear commercial supply contract, with a major pharmaceutical customer that generates revenue immediately.
The negotiations for this agreement are complete. All terms have been agreed upon. The execution copy is being routed for signature by both parties. This agreement will establish Unilife as one of the leading supplier of pre-filled syringes in our industry. It also reaffirms all aspects of our business model.
Dear Unilife stockholders
I am pleased to advise that multiple deals with pharmaceutical customers relating to our Unifill ® platform and other game-changing technologies are now either complete or in the final stages of negotiation.
We have successfully completed negotiations with a global pharmaceutical company for a major long-term supply contract for the Unifill syringe as referred to during our last earnings call. I can advise that this contract is finalized with all terms having been agreed upon by both parties. The formal process of having the execution copy of the contract signed is now taking place, and we have been advised by the customer that it may require an additional few days or weeks to complete. While this process is taking slightly longer than both parties originally anticipated, it is understandable given the size of the Company and the number of steps involved.
With so many programs with so many customers now accelerating rapidly in parallel, a steady progression of transformational, revenue-generating announcements can be expected between now and the end of the calendar year. Together, I expect these upcoming agreements will herald our emergence as the new global leader for injectable drug delivery. We remain fully on track to achieve our business milestones for calendar year 2013 and beyond. Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
Alan Shortall CEO
Dear Shareholders,
Your Board, management team and employees have worked hard for many years to reach that critical point when all the pieces come together. For Unilife, that time is now. A large and growing number of pharmaceutical companies are seeking to partner with Unilife in recognition of how our game-changing products, world-class team and advanced operational capabilities can enhance and differentiate their injectable therapies. Several pharmaceutical companies have selected Unilife for major drug programs that we expect will be progressively announced and generate upfront payments during this calendar year.
I expect the announcement of these programs will transform Unilife. We are advised that a commercial supply agreement for the Unifill syringe remains in the formal process of being signed by a global pharmaceutical company. Agreements with several other pharmaceutical companies have now been through multiple iterations and are fast approaching ratification. Payments are already being received from some customers for device programs prior to the finalization of pending contracts.
Well I'll be damned, there was a REAL contract!
Looks like it was sorta in response to the forbes article.
Might see some good short covering tonite.

In the arvo it was revealed UNS was getting sued by a former executive, and got a forbes write up !
In any case, looks like US sellers, Aussie buyers.
He contends the company deliberately misled investors. When investors visited the facility, Smith says, Unilife ran fake production, turning the rural Pennsylvania factory into something like a Potemkin Village. According to the complaint, scrap went through the assembly line “to make it appear that Unilife was making product when it was not.”

Big pharma deal a fillip for biotech
BY:CRITERION From: The Australian September 11, 2013 12:00AM
Unilife (UNS) 58.5c: Four months after the Pennsylvania-based Unilife flagged a deal with big pharma to supply pre-filled syringes -- sparking a 128 per cent share spike -- the shaking hand has finally signed the paper.
But after climbing 14.5 per cent in New York trading on Monday night, Unilife's local CDIs plunged 5.5c (8 per cent) yesterday.
As is always the case with biotech deals, the devil is in the detail, not that we'll find out given big drug companies are paranoid about secrecy.
The deal, with French giant Sanofi, involves Sanofi using Unifill's Finesse syringes to deliver its anti-thrombosis drugs Lovenox and Clexane. The deal is exclusive to Sanofi for the thrombotic stuff, as long as Sanofi buys a minimum 150 million syringes.
Unilife expects "up to" $15 million from milestone payments, $5m in this year. The deal supersedes a 2008 deal with Sanofi, in which Sanofi paid a $16m licence fee for general use of Unifill's ready-to-fill syringes and bore an estimated $24m-$27m of "industrialisation costs".
The latest agreement is narrower in scope but frees up Unilife to strike royalty deals elsewhere.
In the meantime, US mag Forbes has gone on the attack again after a scathing piece last week, questioning why the $320m market-cap Unilife was still making a loss after 11 years.
Forbes has aired allegations of fraud and other violations in an unfair dismissal lawsuit filed by former Unilife executive Talbot Smith. "It's old news," says Unilife's local director Jeff Carter, who says 15-20 per cent of the stock has been shorted. We rated the overpromising, under-delivering Unilife an avoid at 60.5c. The stock is a hold pending an investor phone-in today.
