The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Zosano Pharma Corporation (ZSAN)

PR Newswire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz reminds investors of the upcoming December 28, 2020deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Zosano Pharma Corporation (“Zosano” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ZSAN) securities between February 13, 2017 and September 30, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

On September 30, 2020, the Company revealed that it received “a discipline review letter (DRL) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in connection with the Qtrypta™ (zolmitriptan transdermal microneedle system) 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA).” According to the Zosano’s press release, the FDA “raised questions regarding unexpected high plasma concentrations of zolmitriptan observed in five study subjects from two pharmacokinetic studies and how the data from these subjects affect the overall clinical pharmacology section of the application.” The FDA also “raised questions regarding differences in zolmitriptan exposures observed between subjects receiving different lots of Qtrypta in the company’s clinical trials.”

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $0.92 per share, or 57%, to close at $0.70 per share on October 1, 2020.

On October 21, 2020, the Company disclosed receipt of a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA. As a result of the inconsistencies identified in the DRL, the FDA recommended that the Zosano conduct a repeat bioequivalence study between three of the lots used during development.

On this news, Zosano’s stock price fell $0.17 per share, or 27%, to close at $0.4441 per share on October 21, 2020.

The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company’s clinical results reflected differences in zolmitriptan exposures observed between subjects receiving different lots; (2) that pharmocokinetic studies submitted in connection with the Company’s NDA included patients exhibiting unexpected high plasma concentrations of zolmitriptan; (3) that, as a result of the foregoing differences among patient results, the FDA was reasonably likely to require further studies to support regulatory approval of Qtrypta; (4) that, as a result, regulatory approval of Qtrypta was reasonably likely to be delayed; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Follow us for updates on Twitter: twitter.com/FRC_LAW.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Zosano securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than December 28, 2020to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.  To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action.  If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to the pending class action lawsuit, please contact Frank R. Cruz, of The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz, 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 1100, Los Angeles, California 90067 at 310-914-5007, by email to [email protected], or visit our website at www.frankcruzlaw.com.  If you inquire by email please include your mailing address, telephone number, and number of shares purchased.

  • Revenue slightly increased by 1.3% to $33.4 million, primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume of tissue paper products and CMP products.
  • Gross profit decreased by 52.2% to $2.6 million. Total gross margin decreased by 8.6 percentage point to 7.7%.   
  • Income from operations was $0.2 million, compared to income from operations of $3.4 million for the same period of last year.
  • Net loss was $0.5 million, or loss of $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of last year.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) decreased by 49.8% to $3.6 million.

Mr. Zhenyong Liu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We continued to make improvements in sales volume for this quarter as our paper products business, along with the whole industry, recovered from the pandemic. Our total revenue increased to 33.4 million and our tissue paper products grew 53.4% in revenue with total sales volume of 74,126 tonnes for this quarter. Sales volumes for CMPs and offset printing paper continued quarter-on-quarter growth and rebounded to the same level as last year. Our ASPs recording a 10.4% sequential increase from Q2 2020, experienced slight decreases compared to the Q3 2019.

“The Chinese government updated the Ban on Free Plastic Bags in 2020 and as the specific restrictions are implemented nationwide, paper packing products are expected to become the main substitute of plastic packages under the requirements, involving sectors such as catering takeout, supermarket retailing, logistics and express delivery. According to Huachuang Securities’ market analysis on substitute demand for cardboard paper in the aforementioned areas, the market demand is expected to be 4.91 million tonnes. As such, the company will take full advantage of the market opportunities brought by the substitute demand for paper packages.”

Revenue

For the third quarter of 2020, total revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 1.3%, to $33.4 million from $32.9 million for the same period of last year. The increase in total revenue was mainly due to increase in sales volume of tissue paper products, CMP and face masks.

Revenue generated from selling face masks was $0.2 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company sold 3,576 thousand pieces of face masks in the third quarter of 2020.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Total cost of sales increased by $3.2 million, or 11.7%, to $30.8 million for the third quarter of 2020 from $27.6 million for the same period of last year. For paper products, overall cost of sales per tonne was $415 for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $382 for the same period of last year. The increase in overall cost of sales was mainly due to the increased manufacturing overhead costs and increased material costs, specifically higher average unit purchase costs of recycled paper board and recycled white scrap paper in the third quarter of 2020. Average unit purchase costs of recycled paper board and recycled white scrap paper, major raw material used for production, was approximately $251/tonne and $297/tonne, respectively, for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $200/tonne and $258/tonne, respectively, for the same period of last year. Costs of sales per tonne for regular CMP, light-weight CMP, offset printing paper, and tissue paper products were $380, $357, $483, and $955, respectively, for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $347, $332, $461 and $1,171, respectively, for the same period of last year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased by $0.4 million, or 18.1%, to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2020 from $2.0 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to additional expenditure on investment relation activities (e.g. consultancy, board meeting etc.) and reversal of over-provision of lease expenses for the lands of Heibei Tengsheng in the third quarter of 2019. 

Income (loss) from Operations

Income from operations was $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to income from operations of $3.3 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in income from operations was primarily due to increased SG&A expenses and decreased gross profit this quarter as discussed above. Operating margin was 0.5% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to operating margin of 10.2% for the same period of last year.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss was $0.5 million, or $0.02 loss per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of last year.

EBITDA

EBITDA was $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $7.1 million for the same period of last year.

Note 1: Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, this press release includes a discussion of EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our results and make strategic decisions. Management believes this measure is useful to investors because it is an indicator of operational performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative to measures of financial performance or changes in cash flows calculated in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.

Q3 Shows Highest Chapter 11 Filings Since Great Recession

Filings More Than Double Since Last Year’s Q3

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The impact of COVID-19 is becoming evident in the accelerating Chapter 11 filings. The amount of Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings in the third quarter, which are tracked in the newest Polsinelli-TrBK Distress Indices Report, have hit the highest level since 2010. This trend is expected to continue into 2021.

The third quarter shows clear signs of the pandemic’s impact on bankruptcy filings and is a continuation of the filing spike from the prior quarter. The filings occurring now are either defensive – to stop creditor enforcement actions – or offensive – to implement a restructuring agreement with creditors. This is the sixth consecutive quarter where Chapter 11 distress has measured over 50 points; the Index hasn’t seen that level of distress since 2011.

“We’re starting to really see the impact of the pandemic and resulting shutdown on overall Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings over the last few quarters,” said Polsinelli Shareholder Jeremy Johnson, a bankruptcy and restructuring attorney and co-author of the report. “Although it’s difficult for anyone to predict what the economy will do the rest of 2020 and into 2021, we do anticipate filings continuing this momentum as we deal with the fallout from the pandemic. We recommend that companies avoid filing unless they have an exit strategy or their hand is forced by a creditor.”

The report, released today by Am Law 100 firm Polsinelli, also highlights economic distress in both the real estate and health care industries. In the third quarter, the Real Estate Index shows the distress levels remain relatively stable, but it’s anticipated that 2021 could see a rise in filings if landlords and tenants cannot reach resolution.

In the health care space, the third quarter brought the 14th consecutive quarter of high distress (an increase of more than 100 points). In fact, there were fewer than 15 filings in all of the third quarter. 

The Polsinelli-TrBK Distress Indices are the backbone of a quarterly research report series that uses Chapter 11 filing data – bankruptcies with more than $1 million in assets – as a proxy for measuring financial distress in the overall U.S. economy and breakdowns of distress specifically in the real estate and health care services sectors. It is the only current measurement that tracks both Main Street and Wall Street statistics.

Other significant updates in the report include:

  • The Chapter 11 Distress Research Index was 81.17 for the third quarter of 2020. The Chapter 11 Index increased more than 12 points since the last quarter. Compared with the same period one year ago, the Index has increased more than 26 points and compared with the benchmark period of the fourth quarter of 2010, it is down approximately 19 points.
  • The Real Estate Distress Research Index was 29.12 for the third quarter of 2020. The Real Estate Index decreased approximately one point since the last quarter. Compared with the same period one year ago, the Index has increased almost four points and compared with the benchmark period of the fourth quarter of 2010, it is down approximately 70 points.
  • The Health Care Services Distress Research Index was 468.33 for the third quarter of 2020. The Health Care Index decreased 42 points since the last quarter. Compared with the same period one year ago, the Index has increased more than 86 points and compared with the benchmark period of the fourth quarter of 2010, it is up more than 360 points. This Index has exceeded the benchmark score for the last 20 quarters and continues to track significantly higher than the other indices.

The Polsinelli-TrBK Distress Indices track the increase or decrease in all Chapter 11 filings with more than $1 million in assets since the fourth quarter of 2010. Unlike the public markets, the Polsinelli-TrBK Distress Indices include both public and private companies, creating a broader economic view and one that may show developing trends on Main Street before they appear on Wall Street.

Fortem Technologies Announces Webinar: 10 Steps to Developing Counter UAS for State and Local Police

Speakers will discuss the legal landscape of C-UAS technology for police departments on Wednesday, November 18, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Pleasant Grove, Utah, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fortem Technologies, the leader in airspace security and defense for detecting and defeating dangerous drones, will be holding a free webinar on the topic of developing a legal and effective counter UAS system for state and local police departments in the U.S. Fortem VP of Solutions, Gary Watson, and special guest DJ Smith, a technical surveillance agent from the Virginia State Police, will talk through effective legal steps to deploying C-UAS locally and statewide, and discuss those which are not yet legal. Watson will also share how the Fortem SkyDome® System works to protect infrastructure and public safety, where other systems fail.  

The webinar will take place on Wednesday, November 18, 2020, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). 

“Local police departments are seeing thousands of rogue drones flying around their cities each month and are frustrated by lack of clarity around the counter UAS solutions they’re allowed to deploy,” said Gary Watson. “While this issue has received more attention from federal agencies over the last couple of years, we want to help clarify what’s legal and what’s not, so that local and state police departments can implement the security they need. In this conversation, DJ Smith from the Virginia State Police will provide insight into the ways his department has been successful in resolving drone-related issues to help further protect American citizens.”

Key points covered include:

  • Drone detection and deterrence
  • Stopping drones/operators that are breaking the law
  • Engaging constructively with the appropriate federal agency

The webinar will be presented in English and will be available on-demand afterward for all registrants.

Please visit this link to register: https://fortemtech.zoom.us/webinar/register/7216046499944/WN_9Tnyq0lhQA2v2DyBO1hPdQ
