Angle (LON:AGL) (AGL 27.5p/£8.37m)

ANGLE, which focuses on the commercialisation of technology, last week announced its audited results for the year ended 30 April 2011. The company reported continued progress with its portfolio of companies of which the highlight has been Parsortix, its 80 per cent. subsidiary.

Parsortix has developed an innovative cell separation platform technology for the isolation of blood cells, including cells which occur in very low numbers. This technology was previously proven in the separation of intact foetal cells from peripheral maternal blood but the company has now decided to focus resources on investigating whether and how Parsortix’s separation device could be used to capture cancer cells in blood. Successful initial findings were announced on 28 June 2011 and a fundraising of £1.25 m was announced on 15 July to provide funding to validate the initial findings and progress development of the separation device. If successful, the company believes that it will have a major opportunity to develop a patent protected cancer diagnostic device for the capture of circulating tumour cells in cancer patients, which will address a key medical requirement.

The other portfolio companies (Acolyte Biomedica, Geomerics, NeuroTargets and Novocellus) have also made steady progress and have been structured so that they can develop but with the company’s ongoing investment commitment being minimal.The Service Management division continues to face pressures on UK government contracts, and uncertainties in the Middle East, but reported an increase in profit before tax of £ 0.3m (2010: £ 0.2m) on revenues of 2 , £ 4 million (2010: £ 2.4m). This leaves the company in the position to be able to focus its resources on developing Parsortix, knowing that it has other potential income streams.
