SAN DIEGO, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagenetix, Inc.
(OTCBB: IAGX) issued today a shareholders' letter discussing the
results of its fiscal year ended March 31,
2011 and its focus for the future.
Dear Imagenetix shareholder -
Following completion of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and as we commence the new fiscal
year, I would like to address our recent results and summarize our
strategic focus for the future.
Over the past few years our primary strategy has been marketing
branded products directly into the food, drug, mass and club
stores. We started this process with our most notable brand,
Celadrin®, in several stores. Initial results were
encouraging and we expanded the program – in some cases nationwide.
This expanded distribution model generated higher product sales
however it required significant and growing resources for
marketing, advertising and promotions. As you can see from
our recently announced financial performance, this direct
distribution model has proven to be quite costly to our liquidity
and operations.
After an extensive evaluation by management and meetings with
third parties, we have concluded that the best strategy is to focus
on our strengths and leverage our product and technology
differentiation. Therefore, we are advancing in our efforts to
transition from distribution of our branded products directly to
market our novel and valuable intellectual property portfolio and
compounds to third parties who have the desire, infrastructure and
financial resources to penetrate significant world-wide markets for
human and animal applications. Our goal is to partner with
such companies, including current discussions with some Fortune 500
companies, by negotiating specific and exclusive intellectual
property / distribution rights. In return we would expect to
receive value in the form of cash; royalties and revenues from the
sale of our proprietary raw materials. We believe that this
strategy will provide significant margin and cash flow
opportunities, while allowing us to maintain a low overhead
structure.
Imagenetix has developed an array of novel discoveries and
health technologies which we believe can be best commercialized
globally by top international companies focused in those sectors.
We have commenced advancing on this strategy. Our initiatives
and focus are designed to rapidly capitalize on these prospective
partnering opportunities to distribute our novel and intellectual
property protected compounds; some of which are expected to require
FDA approvals as therapeutics.
The value created at Imagenetix has been primarily associated
with the development and advancement of unique health related
products and technologies. This value correlates ideally with
the strategy of aligning ourselves with large and financially sound
firms in offering them our proprietary health technologies.
Although I see this past fiscal year's financial results as very
disappointing, I personally am excited about our new direction and
committed to it. I am also delighted in announcing the recent
addition of our newest board member – William "Bill" Toomey. Bill's
vast network and experience in working with Fortune 500 leaders
makes him a valuable board member. Bill
Toomey is a legendary Olympic Gold Medal Winner who
has worked for and on behalf of the International and United States
Olympic Organizations.
We anticipate providing updates to you as we advance on our
strategy into the 2011-12 fiscal year.
Thank you for your continued support as an Imagenetix
shareholder.
Sincerely,
William P. Spencer
President, Imagenetix
