1. | Basis of presentation: |
The condensed consolidated balance sheets of BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Arius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Arius), and its majority-owned subsidiary, Bioral Nutrient Delivery, LLC (BND and, collectively with Arius, the Company) as of June 30, 2005, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2005 and for all periods presented, have been made. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004, has been derived from the Companys audited consolidated financial statements at that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in the Companys 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A, filed with the SEC on April 29, 2005 (2004 Annual Report).
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Arius and BND. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
2. | Summary of significant accounting policies: |
General:
The Company currently generates revenue from licensing, milestone payments and royalties, as well as from grants. Ultimately, if approval of licensed products and formulations is secured from the FDA, the Companys goal is to augment these revenues from sales of such products and formulations, on which royalties or other fees will be paid to licensors and/or third-party collaborators. The Company is also required to make certain license payments to such licensors in accordance with applicable agreements.
Revenue Recognition:
Sponsored research amounts are recognized as revenue when the research underlying such payments has been performed or when the funds have otherwise been utilized, such as for the purchase of operating assets. Grant revenue is recognized to the extent provided for under the related grant or collaborative research agreement. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued): |
Revenue Recognition (continued):
License fees are payments for the initial license of, and access to, the Companys technologies. For nonrefundable license fees received at the initiation of license agreements for which the Company has an ongoing research and development commitment, the Company defers these fees and recognizes them ratably over the period of the related research and development. For nonrefundable license fees received under license agreements where the continued performance of future research and development services is not required, the Company recognizes revenues upon delivery of the technology.
In addition to license fees, the Company may also generate revenue from time to time in the form of milestone payments. Milestone payments are only received and recognized as revenues if the specified milestone is achieved and accepted by the customer and continued performance of future research and development services related to that milestone are not required. The Company, for arrangements where non-refundable upfront fees exist and there are further payments due upon achieving certain milestones, recognizes such revenue pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, whereby multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine whether such deliverables should be considered a single unit of accounting.
Other assets:
Other assets consist principally of deferred loan costs, which are being amortized over the life of the related debt.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47), which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liabilitys fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 47 will have on its consolidated resulted of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practible date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

3. | Corporate structure: |
On August 24, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Arius. The transaction was structured as a reorganization of Arius with and into a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As part of the transaction, the Company issued to the former stockholders of Arius consideration comprised of an aggregate of 1,647,059 shares of a newly designated, non-voting and non-interest bearing, series of convertible preferred stock, designated as Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred). The Series A Preferred will be convertible (upon the satisfaction of certain conditions) into shares of Company common stock (Common Stock) on a one for one basis. The Series A Preferred is eligible for conversion upon the earlier to occur of: (i) FDA approval of Arius first product or (ii) five years from the closing date. The Series A Preferred enjoys certain other rights and privileges.
The Company engaged a valuation firm to prepare a valuation of the Series A Preferred issued, and the intangibles acquired, in connection with the Arius transaction. The Series A Preferred has been valued at $2.25, which includes a 30% discount. Cash acquired in the transaction of $57,675 is recorded at cost, as were the liabilities assumed of $1,417,041. Intangibles which are subject to purchase price allocation of $5,315,249, include a license agreement, non-compete agreements with the principals of Arius, in process research and development, and goodwill.
On January 8, 2003, the Company formed BND as a majority-owned subsidiary. BND presently has two classes of equity interests: Class A Shares and Class B Shares. As of the date of this report, BDSI owns approximately 94.5% of BNDs Class B Shares and all 708,587 of BNDs Class A Shares.
During 2003, BND filed a registration statement on Form SB-1 on behalf of BDSI. In connection therewith, the Company made plans to distribute to BDSI stockholders 3,545,431 of BNDs Class B Shares, or approximately 43% of BNDs outstanding equity interests, including the Class A Shares. After having reevaluated this strategic opportunity, the Company decided in early 2005 to forego the planned distribution of Class B Shares and presently have no intention of effecting any such distribution. BND is substantially inactive at June 30, 2005.
4. | Liquidity and managements plans: |
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations principally from the sale of equity securities, through short-term borrowings, which were subsequently repaid, and from funded research arrangements. The Company has not generated revenue from the sale of any product but has generated revenues from licensing arrangements, milestone payments, and the sale of royalty rights. The Company intends to finance its research and development efforts and its working capital needs from existing cash, new sources of financing and licensing agreements.

4. | Liquidity and managements plans (continued): |
On September 3, 2004, the Company entered into an Equity Line of Credit Agreement with Hopkins Capital Group II, LLC (HCG), a principal stockholder of the Company which is controlled and partially-owned by the Companys Chairman and CEO. Pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement, HCG will, at the Companys request, invest up to $4.0 million in the Company from August 23, 2004 through March 31, 2006 in consideration of shares of a newly created class of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred). The Series B Preferred will be convertible at any time as of or after April 1, 2006 at a price equal to $4.25 per share. As of June 30, 2005, $1.45 million had been drawn under the Equity Line Agreement.
On February 22, 2005, the Company consummated a three year $2.5 million secured convertible debt financing from Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (Laurus). The Laurus investment takes the form of a convertible note secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including Arius and BND. Net proceeds from the financing were used primarily to retire the Companys $1.0 million secured equipment loan with Gold Bank (on which approximately $300,000 was owed and was paid at the closing of the Laurus transaction) and will be used to support research and development opportunities and for general working capital purposes. Also, on May 31, 2005, the Company closed an additional $2.5 million secured convertible debt financing from Laurus. Net proceeds from this second Laurus financing will be used primarily to support the research, development and commercialization opportunities and for general working capital purposes.
In connection with the February financing, Laurus was issued a Common Stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $3.88 per share. The note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (7.5% at February 22, 2005), but not less than 7.5%, and is payable in monthly principal and interest installments of $75,758 beginning June 1, 2005. The note is convertible, under certain conditions, into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $3.10 per share.
Like the February 2005 financing, the May Laurus investment takes the form of a convertible note secured by substantially all of the Companys assets. Such note has a 3-year term (subject to certain contingencies) and bears interest at a rate equal to prime plus 2% per annum. The note is convertible, under certain conditions, into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $3.10 per share. In connection with the financing, the Company issued to Laurus an additional Common Stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 483,871 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $3.88 per share. The Company agreed, pursuant to a registration rights agreement, to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Laurus notes and the warrants with the SEC, and such shares have been so registered as of the date of this Report.

4. | Liquidity and managements plans (continued): |
On June 29, 2005, the Company entered into two separate amendments to the February and May 2005 financing agreements with Laurus under which Laurus agreed to defer payments of principal under the February and May 2005 Laurus notes until December 1, 2005. In consideration of Laurus agreement, the Company issued to Laurus two warrants, one to purchase 22,500 shares of our Common Stock (in connection with the February amendment) and a second to purchase 7,500 shares of our Common Stock (in connection with the May amendment). In each case, such warrants are exercisable into shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.001 per share and expire on June 29, 2012. Except for the exercise price of the warrants, the warrants issued to Laurus in connection with the amendments are substantially similar to the warrants issued to Laurus on February 22, 2005 and May 31, 2005. The Company agreed to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the June warrants with the SEC, which registration statement was declared effective on July 11, 2005.
On July 15, 2005, the Company entered into a clinical development and license agreement with Clinical Development Capital, LLC (CDC) pursuant to which CDC will provide, beginning in February 2006 and subject to certain conditions, up to $7 million in funding (including a $2 million upfront payment and subsequent monthly payments) for the clinical development of the Companys BEMA Fentanyl product. All funds made available under the transaction with CDC must be repaid to CDC within 60 days of FDA approval of BEMA Fentanyl and therefore will be accounted for by the Company as a refundable deposit. As part of the transaction with CDC, the Company issued a warrant to CDC to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.50 per share. Such warrant contains certain antidilution provisions with respect to certain issuances of stock (or issuance of securities convertible into stock) at a price per share less than the exercise price stated in the warrant during the six months following its issuance. Also, the number of shares for which the warrant may be exercised is subject to adjustment based on the amount of funding provided by CDC, provided the warrant shall not, in any event, be exercisable for less than 100,000 shares of Common Stock. Finally, such warrant expires after the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the approval by the FDA of the first NDA relating to BEMA Fentanyl, (ii) the closing of a sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets or the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger or other transaction as a result of which the Companys stockholders immediately prior to such acquisition possess a minority of the voting power of the acquiring entity immediately following such acquisition, or (iii) any liquidation or winding up of the Company.

4. | Liquidity and managements plans (continued): |
The Companys existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financing, including the remaining balances of the Companys equity line of credit and the remaining balance of our NIH grant, and potential new license revenue is considered by management to be sufficient to finance the planned operations and capital expenditures through at least January 1, 2006. Based on product development timelines and agreements with the Companys development partners, the ability to scale up or reduce personnel and associated costs are factors considered throughout the product development life cycle. Available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, resulting in the need for additional funding. Accordingly, the Company anticipates it may be required to raise additional capital through a variety of sources, including:
| The public equity markets; |
| Private equity financings |
| Collaborative agreements; |
| Grants and new license revenues; |
| Bank loans; |
| Public or private debt; and |
| Redemption and/or exercise of existing public warrants. |
There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to significantly reduce or refocus its operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require it to relinquish rights to certain technologies and drug formulations or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to existing stockholders.

The Companys debt arrangements with Laurus include beneficial conversion features. Pursuant to EITF 98-5 Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios and 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, the Company determined that the effective conversion price should be used to compute intrinsic value and allocated the proceeds based on the relative fair values of the convertible debt instrument and warrants. The 98-5 model was then applied to the amount allocated to the convertible debt and an effective conversion price was calculated and used to measure the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion options.

8. | Net loss per common share: |
The Company computes loss per share under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. The statement requires presentation of two amounts; basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Dilutive earnings per share would include all Common Stock equivalents unless anti-dilutive. The Company has not included the outstanding options, warrants, or convertible preferred stock as Common Stock equivalents because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and conversion of debentures that is not included in the basic and diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders:

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Companys actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004
Sponsored Research Revenue. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported $.1 million of sponsored research revenues from a grant from the National Institutes of Health. In the prior year, revenue aggregating $.25 million was derived from an SBIR grant, which was fully funded in August 2004.
License Fee Revenues. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported $0.4 million in licensing (milestone) revenue. There were no license or milestone revenues during the same period in 2004.
Royalty Revenues. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported $.02 million of royalty revenue from a related company. There were no such royalties in the prior year.
Research Fee Revenues. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported $.02 million of research fee revenue. There were no research fee revenues in 2004.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses of approximately $1.9 million and $.8 million were incurred during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Companys scientific staff continued to work toward increased development and application of our BEMA and Bioral® cochleate technologies and other drug-related areas. Funding of this research was obtained through sponsored research revenue, exercise of options in 2004 by directors, and funding of an equity line of credit from HCG. Research and development expenses generally include salaries for key scientific personnel, research supplies, facility rent, lab equipment depreciation and a portion of overhead operating expenses and other costs directly related to the development and application of the BEMA and Bioral® drug delivery technologies.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses of approximately $1.1 million and $.7 million were incurred in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These expenses are principally comprised of legal and professional fees, patent costs, and other costs including office supplies, conferences, travel costs, salaries, and other business development costs. Furthermore, expenses include approximately $.02 million and $.05 million of expenses related to BND operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. BND is inactive at June 30, 2005. Nominal stock-based compensation costs in 2005 were associated with vested options during the period. Employees stock option grants were treated under APB 25 through December 31, 2004. The Company will adopt FAS 123 beginning in 2005 for new options granted to employees. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2005 is primarily due to increased staffing following the acquisition of Arius, and additional legal and patent costs, partially offset by reduced costs associated with BND.
18
Interest Income (Expense). Interest income (expense) for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was principally comprised of interest expense on the line of credit, notes payable and capital leases payable, and costs attributable to the February and May financings, partially offset by nominal earnings from invested cash. Interest expense in 2005 also includes amortization of loan costs associated with warrants issued to the Companys investment banker of $0.01 million and amortization of the Laurus discount of $0.1 million.
Income Taxes. While net operating losses were generated during the three month period ended June 30, 2005, we did not recognize any benefit associated with these losses, as all related deferred tax assets have been fully reserved. Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon available data, which includes our historical operating performance and our reported cumulative net losses in prior years, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as the future realization of the tax benefit is not sufficiently assured.
Other Comprehensive Gain. Other comprehensive gain in 2004 consists exclusively of unrealized gains on marketable equity securities held for sale. At June 2004, all marketable equity securities had been sold.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004
Sponsored Research Revenue. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported $.2 million of sponsored research revenues from a grant from the National Institutes of Health. In the prior year, revenue aggregating $0.5 million was derived from an SBIR grant, which was fully funded in August 2004.
License Fee Revenues. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported $.4 million in licensing (milestone) revenue earned from a related party. There were no license or milestone revenues during the same period in 2004.
Royalty Revenues. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported $0.03 million of royalty revenue from a related company. There were no such royalties in the prior year.
Research Fee Revenues. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company reported $0.02 million of research fee revenue. There were no research fee revenues in 2004.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses of approximately $2.9 million and $1.5 million were incurred during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Companys scientific staff continued to work toward increased development and application of our BEMA and Bioral® cochleate technologies and other drug-related areas. Funding of this research was obtained through sponsored research revenue, exercise of options in 2004 by directors, and funding of an equity line of credit from HCG. Research and development expenses generally include salaries for key scientific personnel, research supplies, facility rent, lab equipment depreciation and a portion of overhead operating expenses and other costs directly related to the development and application of the BEMA and Bioral® drug delivery technologies.
19
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses of approximately $2.1 million and $1.3 million were incurred in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These expenses are principally comprised of legal and professional fees, patent costs, and other costs including office supplies, conferences, travel costs, salaries, and other business development costs. Furthermore, expenses include approximately $0.05 million and $0.1 million of expenses related to BND operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. BND is inactive at June 30, 2005. Stock-based compensation costs of $0.03 million in 2005 were associated with vested options during the period. Employees stock option grants were treated under APB 25 through December 31, 2004. The Company will adopt FAS 123 beginning in 2005 for new options granted to employees. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2005 is primarily due to increased staffing following the acquisition of Arius, and additional legal and patent costs, partially offset by reduced costs associated with BND.
Interest Income (Expense). Interest income (expense) for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was principally comprised of interest expense on the line of credit, notes payable and capital leases payable, and costs attributable to the February and May financings, partially offset by nominal earnings from invested cash. Interest expense in 2005 also includes amortization of loan costs associated with warrants issued to the Companys investment banker of $0.01 million and amortization of the Laurus discount of $0.1 million.
Income Taxes. While net operating losses were generated during the six month period ended June 30, 2005, we did not recognize any benefit associated with these losses, as all related deferred tax assets have been fully reserved. Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon available data, which includes our historical operating performance and our reported cumulative net losses in prior years, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as the future realization of the tax benefit is not sufficiently assured.
Other Comprehensive Gain. Other comprehensive gain in 2004 consists exclusively of unrealized gains on marketable equity securities held for sale. At June 2004, all marketable equity securities had been sold.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the sale of our securities and loans from third parties. From inception through June 30, 2005, we raised approximately $20.9 million, net of issuance costs, through these issuances. At June 30, 2005, we had $1.8 million in cash and investments. At December 31, 2004, we had cash and investments totaling approximately $0.8 million. The adequacy of cash for our operations in continued research is dependent on, among other things, licensing opportunities we are able to negotiate in the coming year, as well as the funding of our equity line of credit, further described below, which had a balance remaining of $2.6 million at June 30, 2005.
Our working capital deficit was $1.2 million and $0.4 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
20
We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of June 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $18.3 million and total stockholders equity of $4.5 million. At December 31, 2004, our accumulated deficit was $13.5 million and our stockholders equity was approximately $6.0 million.
We anticipate that cash used in operations will increase significantly in the future as we research, develop, and, potentially, manufacture, distribute and/or sell our proposed drug formulations. While we believe further application of our BEMA and Bioral® cochleate technologies to other drugs will result in license agreements with manufacturers of generic and over-the-counter drugs, our plan of operations for the next 24 months will be focused primarily on the further development of the Emezine® formulation and the BEMA and Bioral® technologies, and the application of such technologies to a limited number of pharmaceutical products, and not on the marketing, production or sale of FDA approved products.
Our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financing, including the remaining balances of our existing equity line of credit and grant, and potential new license revenue, is considered by our management to be sufficient to finance the planned operations and capital expenditures through at least January 1, 2006. Based on product development timelines and agreements with our development partners, the ability to scale up or reduce personnel and associated costs are factors considered throughout the product development life cycle. Available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, resulting in the need for additional funding. Accordingly, we anticipate that we may be required to raise additional capital through a variety of sources, including:
| public equity markets; |
| private equity financings; |
| collaborative arrangements; |
| grants and new license revenues; |
| bank loans; |
| public or private debt; and |
| redemption and/or exercise of existing public warrants. |
There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to significantly reduce or refocus our operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain technologies and drug formulations or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on us, our financial condition and our results of operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to existing stockholders.
21
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that affect our financial condition and results of operations. We have discussed the application of these critical accounting policies with our Board of Directors and its Audit Committee.
Revenue recognition:
Sponsored research amounts are recognized as revenue when the research underlying such payments has been performed or when the funds have otherwise been utilized, such as for the purchase of operating assets. Grant revenue is recognized to the extent provided for under the related grant or collaborative research agreement. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
License fees are payments for the initial license of and access to the Companys technology. For nonrefundable license fees received at the initiation of license agreements for which the Company has an ongoing research and development commitment, the Company defers these fees and recognizes them ratably over the period of the related research and development. For nonrefundable license fees received under license agreements where the continued performance of future research and development services is not required, the Company recognizes revenues upon delivery of the technology.
In addition to license fees, the Company may also generate revenue from time to time in the form of milestone payments. Milestone payments are only received and recognized as revenues if the specified milestone is achieved and accepted by the customer and continued performance of future research and development services related to that milestone are not required. The Company, for arrangements where non-refundable upfront fees exist and there are further payments due upon achieving certain milestones, recognizes such revenue pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, whereby multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine whether such deliverables should be considered a single unit of accounting.
Recent accounting pronouncements:
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47), which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liabilitys fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 47 will have on its consolidated resulted of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.
22
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 provides guidance on accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practible date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition, but does not expect it to have a material impact.
ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the Certifying Officers) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. Such officers have concluded (based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report) that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this report is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The words believes, anticipates, plans, expects, and similar expressions in this report are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

On or about April 19, 2004, the Company was named as the defendant in an action commenced by MAS Capital Inc. in the Vanderburgh Circuit Court in the State of Indiana (Cause No. 82C01-0404 PL 280). In the lawsuit, the plaintiff seeks monetary damages from the Company in the amount of $1.575 million based upon the allegation that MAS Capital procured an underwriter to raise capital for the Company through an initial public offering. The Company has provided MAS Capitals counsel with copies of documents executed by MAS Capital and its affiliates that the Company alleges fully release the Company. Upon MAS Capitals refusal to dismiss the action notwithstanding the documents that fully release the Company, the Company filed an Amended Answer asserting a claim for attorneys fees and costs expended to defend the case, pursuant to an Indiana frivolous litigation statute. The Company also filed a motion for summary judgment on June 9, 2005, with a ruling thereon expected in late August or September 2005. The Company believes that the plaintiffs claims are without merit and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
The Company may, from time to time, be involved in actual or potential legal proceedings that the Company considers to be in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its business.
