Remarks by Howard Jonas, Chairman and CEO of Rafael Holdings
“We are pleased to report Rafael Holding’s first quarterly results as an independent public company following completion of our spin-off from IDT Corporation on March 26th. Financial results for the third quarter were in line with our expectations and reflected the added expense of being a public company. Our balance sheet remains very strong, with $44.0 million in working capital – current assets less current liabilities -- and no debt.
“With a successful spin-off in our rear-view mirror, we are focused on both of our operating segments to maximize value for our stockholders.
“On the real estate side, we are working to optimize our property portfolio. In Newark, New Jersey, where we hold a 20-story commercial property and an associated garage property, we are seeking experienced real estate development partners to take full advantage of the buoyant local market.
“On the pharma side of our business, we are encouraged by Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ recently reported results from its Phase II clinical trial of its lead drug, CPI-613 in Acute Myeloid leukemia (AML) and look forward to its planned launch of its global, randomized Phase III trials of CPI-613 for patients with Stage IV metastatic pancreatic cancer and relapsed/refractory AML.”
“LipoMedix is making good progress on the development and study of its flagship prodrug, Promitil and was recently awarded a patent for the use of Promitil in conjunction with radiotherapy.”
