Q&A Interview with CEO of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGM: BPAX) Following News of Positive LibiGel® Safety Data Review in Phase III Program

Point Roberts, WA - October 24, 2011- Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues an exclusive Q&A with Mr. Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer ofBioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGM: BPAX).

The Company reported news earlier this month of positive LibiGel® safety data review in the Phase III program. Mr. Simes explains the significance of the data and what's next to take
LibiGel (testosterone gel) to market for the millions of women anxiously awaiting an approved FDA solution for female sexual dysfunction.
BioSante Pharmaceuticals Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
In the Company's last release, it was reported that "The DMC once again has recommended that the safety study continue as per the FDA-agreed protocol, without modification as there were no general or specific safety issues based on their unblinded review of adverse events."
Based on competitors dropping out of the market due to lack of sufficient safety data how significant is it that BioSante has reached this stage?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
Very significant. BioSante is conducting the largest safety study ever undertaken for a drug in the treatment of female sexual dysfunction. We are in the fourth year of a cardiovascular event and breast cancer safety study having completed enrollment at 3,656 women equally randomized to LibiGel or placebo. The Independent data monitoring committee has recommended continuing the study as per FDA-agreed protocol based on their seventh unblinded review of all safety data. We expect to be able to demonstrate the safety of LibiGel for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you explain to investors the next steps prior to filing an NDA in 2012?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We now have completed two LibiGel Phase III efficacy trials of over 500 women each. We expect to announce top-line efficacy data in December of this year. The LibiGel safety study will undergo its primary safety analysis next summer which will put us in position to submit the new drug application (NDA) by the end of 2012. Bases on positive safety and efficacy data we hope to receive FDA approval by mid-2013.
Q: Investorideas.com
LibiGel is currently the only product in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), with an estimated market of $2 billion. How does the Company see the revenue stream following FDA approval?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We expect that the market for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction will be over $2 billion, which is the size of the erectile dysfunction market in the U.S. Based on published reports we believe the market for FSD will be at least that large. In addition, in 2010, there were about four million testosterone prescriptions written off-label for women, and in primary research doctors tell us they will switch over 90 percent of the off-label use to an FDA approved product.
Q: Investorideas.com
Several analysts including Rodman & Renshaw have a 12- month price target of $5.00 or more on the stock. The stock has had a 52-wwek high of just over $4.00 and has fallen back… What do you say to that?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
These are very difficult times in the market and in the economy. We believe our stock price is not reflecting accurately our true value. As we continue to make progress we would expect our stock price to reflect our true value. Happily we are in a very solid cash position with over $73 million in cash as of August 31, 2010 with an approximate $4 million/month burn rate which should decrease to about $3 million/month in 2012.
About LibiGel ®
LibiGel is a testosterone gel in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The completed Phase III efficacy trials are double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that enrolled over 500 surgically menopausal women each for six-months of therapy. The completed efficacy trials were conducted according to an FDA-agreed special protocol assessment (SPA) agreement. LibiGel is absorbed quickly through the skin after applying a once-daily pea-sized topical application on the upper arm that delivers testosterone to the bloodstream evenly over time.
In a Phase II trial, LibiGel significantly increased the number of satisfying sexual events in surgically menopausal women suffering from FSD by 238 percent versus baseline (p<0.0001); this increase also was significant versus placebo (p<0.05). In this study, the effective dose of LibiGel produced testosterone blood levels within the normal range for pre-menopausal women and had a safety profile similar to that observed in the placebo group. In addition, no serious adverse events and no discontinuations due to adverse events occurred in any subject receiving LibiGel. The Phase II clinical trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, conducted in the United States, in surgically menopausal women distressed by their low sexual desire and activity.

Oil and Gas Drilling Plans for the Mississippian: (OTCBB: OEDV), (NasdaqGM: RAM), (NYSE: RRC), (NYSE: SD)


Point Roberts, WA - October 24, 2011 (Investorideas.com Energy Newswire) - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in sector research for independent investors including oil and gas stocks, issues an update on publicly traded oil and gas stocks reporting drilling plans for the Mississippian Formation for the fourth quarter and into 2012.

Sandridge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD) raised investor awareness to the significance of the Mississippian Formation play when it announced in August it entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Atinum Partners Co., Ltd., an investment firm in the Republic of Korea. According to the agreement, SandRidge will transfer a 13.2% non-operated working interest in approximately 860,000 acres, or approximately 113,000 net acres to Atinum for $500 million.
Osage Exploration and Development, Inc. ( OTCBB: OEDV) noted in its September release, when the Company also reported an increase in its net acreage to 15,000 acres: “Slawson Exploration as Operator is focused on drilling the project in the fourth quarter this year, yet is bringing a tremendous amount of leadership to the land acquisition process as well. The synergy that has been created by the contribution of U.S. Energy on the land side, coupled with Slawson's and our own efforts, has increased the overall acquisition efficiency dramatically from my perspective," stated Kim Bradford, Chairman and CEO.
Slawson Exploration Company is the Operator of the project and owns 45%, U.S. Energy Development Corporation owns 30%, and Osage Exploration has 25%.
RAM Energy Resources, Inc (NasdaqGM: RAM ) reported in a recent update it is tentatively planning to drill its first horizontal Mississippi well in early 2012. The processing and interpretation of the company's Phase II seismic survey, which covers 31 square miles of the concession to the south and east of the 25 square-mile Phase I survey, is complete. The identification of potential new drilling locations over the Phase II survey is beginning, setting the stage for future drilling.
Range Resources Corporation (NYSE: RRC) reported to shareholders that leasing activity expanded during the quarter in the Mississippian horizontal play of northern Oklahoma. Having started the year with 15,000 net acres, Range's position has increased to over 92,000 net acres. Reserve projections are estimated in the range of 400-500 MBOE per well for approximately 2,000 foot laterals at depths of 5,000 feet. These potential reserves generate attractive finding and development costs, along with strong rates of return in this liquids-rich play. Range's production from the Mississippi horizontal area continues to hold at 3,400 gross (2,709 net) BOE per day. With its larger acreage position, Range is targeting a two rig drilling program in 2012 and is currently focused on adding the necessary infrastructure to facilitate future development
Sandridge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD ), the most dominant player in the Mississippian Play, previously told Investorideas.com, "As far as our drilling plans for 2011, our capital plan has us drilling about 140 producers in the Mississippian.". Sandridge recently sold $231 Million in assets in its East Texas natural gas properties to focus on its core plays including the Mississippian.
This asset sale is part of the capital plan to execute our 3 Year Strategy of tripling EBITDA, doubling oil production, and lowering our debt ratio by the end of 2014 by continuing to develop high rate of return oil wells in the Central Basin Platform and the Mississippian play in the Mid-Continent."

As previously announced, the Offering will provide Brookfield Infrastructure with additional liquidity to fund its growth strategy. Proceeds of approximately $150 million will be used to acquire interests in two Chilean toll roads and proceeds of approximately $150 million will be used to fund growth capital expenditures at Brookfield Infrastructure's Australian railroad. The remaining proceeds will be used to pay down the corporate credit facility, which has been drawn over the past nine months to invest in Brookfield Infrastructure's Australian railroad and other organic growth initiatives.

Sterling Construction Company, Inc.  (NASDAQ:STRL) has bullish sentiment on the street including  recent commentary on Seeking Alpha:  Well Positioned To Benefit From Infrastructure Spending ;"Sterling Construction is significantly undervalued for a company that can grow EPS at a compound annual rate of 14.4% for the next five years. Based on this growth in earnings, my estimate of fair value using a discounted cash flow model is $21.00, which is 109% higher than the current stock price.

To really give a real indicator of the sentiment of the sector, look within the industry leaders. Recently quoted in an article, “The head of US construction and engineering giant Bechtel expects continuing global demand for infrastructure despite repeated shocks to the world economy.
"We foresee fairly strong markets indefinitely," Riley Bechtel said at a Melbourne Mining Club lunch recently according to a report in the Australian.   

"We are rolling well in most markets outside the US," Mr Bechtel said. Work was declining in the US "because that economy is particularly challenged right now and because there is, from a contracting standpoint, a fair amount of regulatory challenge in the US compared with elsewhere in the world".

Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC ) announced the expansion of its Harsco Infrastructure branch operations in Peru with the opening of new and enlarged facilities in Lima, Peru's largest city and capital. The expanded facilities will enhance Harsco's rental forming, shoring and scaffolding equipment and installation services to major civil construction and industrial maintenance projects throughout the region.

The move to larger facilities follows three years of steady revenue growth since Harsco's market entry into Peru at the beginning of 2009. Industry analysts are projecting further growth in Peru's construction sector in the range of 8-9 percent for 2012. "The investments being made by emerging markets in basic infrastructure expansion and modernization are an increasingly important part of Harsco's long-term focus," said Executive VP and Infrastructure Group CEO Ivor J. Harrington.

Since its arrival into the market, Harsco has participated in some of Peru's largest and most prestigious construction projects, including two regional hospitals in Lambayeque and Ica; several office buildings including the Platinum Plaza, Peru's first "green" office building; and the construction of 13 bus stations for Lima's mass transit system. Harsco is currently supporting the construction of the new Mall Aventura Plaza Santa Anita and the new Wong supermarket in Miraflores, and anticipates further work beginning in January 2012 on the Real Plaza San Borja shopping mall. These latest projects alone are expected to generate new revenues of close to $1 million through the end of 2011 and into 2012, in addition to other ongoing and anticipated work.
