Financial Results

Revenue

The Company achieved record revenues of $19.4 million during the year ended April 30, 2022, compared to $17.9 million in fiscal year 2021, an 8.1% increase. The continued growth trend is primarily from project revenues in the Company’s B cell Select platform with expansion in both the number and size of projects under contract.

For the three months period ending April 30, 2022, the Company achieved record revenues of $5.2 million compared to $4.9 million for the three months period ended April 30, 2021, a 7.4% increase.

Research & Development

Research and development increased to $6.7 million from $2 million in 2021, due to the strategic investment in R&D the Company is undertaking, including the Company’s SARSCoV-2 PolyTope cocktail and other research projects.
