Ayala Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTC:ADXS) Announces Continuation of RINGSIDE Phase 2/3 Study in Desmoid Tumors

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

Clinical-stage oncology firm Ayala Pharmaceuticals Inc (OTC:ADXS) is a company that has been making significant strides in its industry and has caught the attention of many investors in recent times. The company is involved in the development and commercialization of small molecule therapeutics for patients who may be suffering from aggressive variants of cancer or rare tumors. Additionally, the company is also working on the development of Lm-based antigen delivery products for people who may be suffering from the common variants of cancer. One of the lead candidates being developed by Ayala at this point is AL 102 which is meant for desmoid tumors and another one is ADXS 504, an LM-based early-stage prostate cancer therapy. In this context, it is perhaps necessary to keep in mind that AL 102 had also been awarded the coveted fast-track designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration, and at this point, it is in Phase 3 of a vital study. Last week on March 3 the company was in the news after it made a key new announcement with regards to its product AL 102. The company announced that the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) for its Phase 2/3 RINGSIDE study into the investigational new drug had completed a prespecified review of the data produced by the study. After studying the data, the IDMC concluded that the study could continue without any modifications. It was a significant development for the company and one that must have come as a major boost for investors who may have been following the news. Ken Berlin, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the company spoke about the development as well. He thanked the IDMC for its work and recommendation about the matter. However, more importantly, he went on to add that the product AL 102 had the potential to be the best product in its class and everyone at the company was excited about the prospect of it in helping with desmoid tumors. Berlin noted that if the product was approved by the regulators then it could prove to be a major new addition to an indication that was largely underserved. The company had been in focus last month when it announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending on October 31, 2022, back on February 10, 2023. The company announced that at the end of the fiscal year, it had cash and cash equivalents to the tune of $25.2 million. The revenues generated by the company for the 2022 fiscal year stood at $250,000 and that reflected a large drop from the revenues of $3.2 million in the previous year. The expenses related to research and development came in at $7.6 million but in the previous year that had been $10.6 million. The general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year actually dropped year on year to $8.9 million from $11.5 million in 2021. The net losses for the fiscal year actually dropped to $14.4 million from $17.9 million in 2021.

Armanino Foods of Distinction Inc. (OTC:AMNF) Issues Q4 Earnings

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

Despite recent economic downturns, the market for frozen food products is still strong, and many of the companies operating in that industry are currently working extremely hard to expand their operations. One of the companies that could well be worth tracking at this point is Armanino Foods of Distinction Inc. (OTCMKTS:AMNF), which is involved in the production and marketing of frozen food products in the United States. The company is well known for offering a wide range of goods, such as gourmet beef, Italian-style beef, Italian-style pork, smoked turkey meatballs, different kinds of pesto, cheeses, and many other essentials. The company offers all these products under the Armanino brand, and the products are marketed through a number of food brokers. The products are sold to retail distributors, food service distributors, industrial accounts, and also to club-like stores. The company, which is based out of Hayward, California, was established in 1978 and is currently one of the major players in its industry. The company has performed strongly for a long time, and last week, on March 3, Armanino Foods of Distinction announced that it had managed to generate the highest-ever fourth-quarter net sales, highest-ever annual net sales, and highest-ever annual pre-tax profits in the periods that ended on December 31, 2022. That being said, it should also be noted that it was also the 78 th straight quarter in which the company had managed to stay profitable. The company managed to generate net sales to the tune of $13,717,899 in the fourth quarter, which reflected a year-on-year rise of 15% from the $11,924,678 it had generated in net sales in the prior-year quarter. The pre-tax income in the fourth quarter stood at $2,045,138, and that remained largely unchanged given the pre-tax income in the prior year period was $2,040,241. The net income for the fiscal year was $1,446,209, reflecting a drop of 20% year over year from the $1,796,842 that had been generated in the previous year. The net sales for the year came in at a strong $57,873,545; that reflected a year-on-year rise of 21% from the $43,824,030 generated in the previous year. Analysts and investors alike have taken notice of the company's strong performance. It is also important to note that Armanino Foods of Distinction is a company that pays out dividends, which may be another factor for many investors. Last year, on December 19, 2022, the company announced that it was going to pay out a regular quarterly cash dividend to the tune of as much as $0.03 per share. All shareholders of record as of January 3, 2023, were entitled to the dividends, which were going to be paid out on January 23, 2023. It was also noted at the time that Armanino Foods of Distinction had also paid out special dividends on ten occasions to its loyal shareholders.

Fine Hygienic Holding continues to roll out a progressive female-friendly approach with its latest Menopause and Fertility Treatment Policy

Fine Hygienic Holding

Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH), a world-leading wellness group and manufacturer of hygienic paper products and long-term germ protection solutions, has recently recommitted to its ongoing mission to make the workplace environment more inclusive and inviting for all its employees. The company has rolled out additional reforms in terms of its female-friendly policies to ensure everyone operates in a supportive environment. A step towards establishing positive change has been made, as the company is introducing the Fine Flourish Policy, which includes provisions for Menstrual, Menopause, and Fertility Treatment leaves, across all its locations. All female personnel - both full-time and probationary - are eligible to take advantage of the generous Fine Flourish policy. Employees are granted up to 12 days of leave annually in the event of any illness, symptoms, or complications related to menopause, menstruation, or fertility treatment. Moreover, flexible work arrangements can be made to ensure their comfort and convenience. All these provisions can be availed without a medical certificate and are granted separately from vacations or other leave policies. FHH is regarded as a pioneer in the region with its employee-friendly leave policies that offer time to recover both physically and emotionally. Kirsty Koen, FHH CHRO, said, “At Fine Hygienic Holding, we believe that a successful business must always prioritize its people. That’s why one of our core values has always been - if we take care of our people, the business will take care of itself. We are constantly exploring new methods and practices that will help ensure our employees are supported in every aspect, especially during times when they need it the most. Every policy we announce is tailored to embody our values and to provide support, and we will continue to be dedicated to looking after the wellbeing of our people and pave the way for woman employment across the Middle East.” Fine Hygienic Holding has already set the bar high in this field when it previously introduced a series of progressive leaves on top of which is its menstrual leave, which the company launched more than 10 years ago. For mothers to be, FHH provides up to 16 weeks of fully paid maternity leave, which is far more than the recommendations of the International Labour Organization. Furthermore, the company has amended its parental leave policy, allowing three weeks of paid paternity leave, and has also set a benchmark in global and regional companies by introducing a compassionate leave wherein a female employee or the spouse of an employee is granted a paid leave in cases of miscarriages or stillbirths. Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH), one of the world’s leading wellness groups and MENA’s leading manufacturer of hygienic products, serves consumers in more than 80 countries around the world. Originally established as a paper manufacturer, FHH has transformed into a wellness company dedicated to enhancing global health and wellbeing.

Fine Hygienic Holding offers a diverse array of award-winning products including sterilized facial tissues, napkins, kitchen towels, toilet paper, baby diapers, adult briefs, jumbo rolls, as well as away-from-home products to accommodate all types of private and public institutions, in addition to its advanced range of personal protective equipment (PPE) and long-lasting germ protection solutions, it also brings Nai natural iced teas and innovative nutritional supplements, Motiva, to the market.
