In the report, the analyst notes:

"ONTY reported a loss from operations of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with a loss from operations of $3.6 million for the comparable period in 2008. ONTY also reported a loss from operations of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with a loss from operations of $13.7 million for the comparable period in 2008. For both the three-month and nine-month periods, the decrease in loss from operations was primarily the result of decreased research and development, manufacturing and general and administrative expenses, offset by a decrease in revenue.

"ONTY recently announced that Merck Serono, a division of Merck KGaA of Darmstadt, Germany, and its U.S. affiliate, EMD Serono Inc., have temporarily suspended the worldwide clinical development program for Stimuvax(R) (BLP25 liposomal vaccine). The suspension is the result of a suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction in a patient with multiple myeloma participating in an exploratory clinical trial. This decision was taken in alignment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) clinical hold placed on the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Stimuvax."
